The McElroy brothers are not experts and their advice should never be followed Travis insists. He's a sexpert, but if there's a degree on his wall, I haven't seen it Also, this show isn't for kids, which I mentioned only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening What's up, you cool, baby I could have never seen what was coming for me hangs at the skate park hangs by the beach my life It feels It's better it's better It's better it's better

It's better it's better Hello everybody and welcome to my brother my brother. I mean if I show for the margin era I'm your oldest brother Justin McElroy. I'm your middle-est brother Travis big dog wolf wolf Well, I'm sweet baby Griffin. What's wrong, Travis? I just feel like we're in them Dog days of summer, you know, we did the live show and that was great. That was definitely a high point The one that people can still Get and watch for ten bucks to go to bit. Oh, I ford slash mb NBA in virtual. Yeah, that's the Now I feel like we're in them summer doldrums

Yeah, yeah, you know You know trap. I don't feel that way at all. Oh, really? I want to yes ed you but the family pulled in 70 million dollars this weekend And I am just so fucking stooped for these room lords then Michelle Tyrese, yeah, wait everybody the fifth new Fast and the Furious movie Yeah, dude F9 pulled it in with 70 million dollars biggest Film opening ever during the global pandemic that is still on going biggest whatever

Fucker later. Malton said F9's got me feeling fine in his official review The I don't know if the man has passed away or not. My doldrums are cured That's all now now now Justin Previously, I believe I believe back on how maybe it was even as far back as Thursday I believe it was you who is saying that there was a Newspaper in Seattle that did a review of Fast and the Furious 9 and called it the Muppet babies of The Fast and the Furious franchise. Yes, that is correct Travis, but that wasn't that wasn't a bad thing It wasn't a pejorative

Now, what does it mean that I've been thinking about it for five days. Well, what could it? Wait, it's so important. This is now a F9 watch and we didn't we didn't set that We usually say that at the start, but this has slowly evolved into a F9 watch and we're here now. Okay, good Okay, can I fact check something real quick? Yes, Rotten Tomatoes says this is the latest film in the saga the ninth That is actually the tenth What? Okay. Oh, yeah, I mean are we counting Hobbs and Shaw? Are we counting Hobbs and Shaw? Okay, that's right. Yeah, it is part of the Saga It's canonical. It's part of the Steven's Saga

Honestly, they should just call this one Fast and the Furious one because it's the first one that John Felix Anthony Cena is a part of Jonathan you you beautiful invisible man with your many armbands. Do you think he has a cause in his contract that he can't lose a fight? Oh My god, then what happens when he fights the rock? There's one thing we are working towards a point where the rock and John Cena and Vin Diesel would get in a fight with each other Yeah, all three of them contractually obligated not to lose. Yeah Run to it is while I'm looking at these box office results I got a link to a vid here that says Vin Diesel on the Fast and Furious future It's not over and we'll be back more formidable than ever. Okay. Yeah, no shit. Yeah, that's the name of it guys

This video is 55 minutes long Well, yeah That's possible For 55 minutes about the fact that it's not over and we'll be back more formidable than ever. Hey guys, what's our Muppet babies? What does that mean? No, but here's my thing What's our what's the Muppet babies of our franchise? Have we made it yet? Okay, but here's my thing though Okay, we need to define what it means to be the Muppet babies of something, right?

I the only way it makes sense to me and I've been thinking about it for 120 hours is if Fast and Furious 9 features scenes of baby Vin Diesel and baby rock and baby Tyrese and baby Luda and stuff like that Otherwise, I have no context for what it means to be the Muppet babies of a franchise We use our imaginations. I mean, yeah, that sounds like I guess I Mean, I guess the episode of Taz we did where we were all babies and it was based on the Muppet babies game It's probably the Muppet babies. That's a probably pretty clear one-to-one. Yeah, there was also there was also a Jeff use place the

Public access show that we did for a while that had that hat that was mostly puppets. Yeah, they all learned lessons about math and How not and not and not cussing And there's not cut there were four of the of the seven Episodes in the first season four were about not yeah, not yeah, and you know what to be fair I think probably one of the reasons the show didn't hit. Thank you was we spent a lot of time explaining what cuss words were we had Like yeah, that was a deep dive. Okay. This is now a Jeffy's place watch

Yeah, it used to be a fan 9 watching us a Jeffy's place watch biggest problems with Jeffy's place Let's start them off. Let's do top 75 biggest problems with Jeffy's place. I mean you gotta say number one There was no character named Jeffy Created so much confusion, right and we there was one there's one named Jeffrey, but he was an adult human Yeah, yeah, he was like God in that and but it was very clearly not his place people kept saying like I Jeffrey she got a place of his own. Yeah, our places. It's not Jeffy's place. It's Jeffy's place Yeah, I would say number two is probably when we insisted on anatomically incorrect puppets And I don't know exactly what we had in mind

And I think we never settled on it with the art department because the designs of the puppets kept changing every week I was probably another problem. Yeah, I mean everybody remembers Hugh Chewie and he was just like this weirdly super muscular Puppet and none of the other puppets looked anything like him and I nobody even made a big deal out of it It's just people thought people wanted to see a yoke to a yoke None of the muscles were in the right place either No, they were all over that. Yeah, it's weird We invited Brian Henson over to look at the puppets and he said there can't be a shoulder here

Someone get someone to help there can't be a shoulder. Yeah, my dad would never allow this and he just started screaming That's not how knees. That's not Honey, honey, I would say one major issue is halfway through the first season when the show was tanking We realized that we could maybe make inroads as having it be like a nice little bit of McGee and me Christian television magic and so we sort of pivoted that direction But also we didn't we also said a lot of wrong stuff about the Bible and things so that you like yeah Like God only likes it when you yell God can't hear you and yes, bless you yell your prayers like you remember that episode Yeah, that's called God only hears you if you yell your prayers and then we got like some feedback from the Christian Council

It was like mmm. That's that's not actually yeah, what we do I still yell my prayers to this day guys You know what I started really like to mark on me. What's that? Yell them through a trombone it amplifies that even more. Yep. No, well, you've learned that from Jeffy's place. Yes, I did Yeah, I liked well, maybe not liked but I think maybe one of the problems was when we did yet again Another episode about like not consuming household chemicals and we went into detail about where to find the chemicals Yeah, which chemicals might make you imagine weird things and like which ones taste good But you still shouldn't like they taste candy like but don't you still really shouldn't yeah, that was probably a misstep

That was a misfire for sure Why did we have to start every episode with a huge title card that said brought to you by George Soros? Yeah, why did we decide to leave that up for 49 seconds before every episode and he didn't give us any money I don't know why we did any money. It wasn't brought to him at all. It wasn't connected to him in any way I think we were trying to we were trying to cord him with it. I think like it was yeah There was the one episode that was an employee training video for Dairy Queen Yeah, he asked us to do and we were like an episode short I guess and so we're like, let's just put up the Dairy Queen video. That was the best one though

It was really good. It made me it made a lot of kids cry But you know sandwiched between the bad Bible lessons and then don't cuss series Just having kids like learn like and this is how you do the dippers This is how to this is how we keep our sauces warm, etc Good show Jeffy's place. Oh, when's that coming back get back? Yeah, let's reboot it and you know what a lot of people don't know Chris Evans first job Chris Evans first job was on Jeffy's place. We gave that kid a break and look at him now I had my hand buried up Chris Evans asked for so long. I couldn't tell where I ended and he began and that's how he got

Best puppet I ever worked with Chris Evans not a human not a human sorry on anatomically incorrect puppet I'm throwing a surprise birthday Slash anniversary party for my husband at the end of the year two days after I sent an invite to one of his long time friends Who will call see oh a little intrigue. I like we so rarely get that My short for colonel mustard My husband mentioned in casual conversation that he feels he's been drifting away from sea Man, this question is a weird one to start. This is quite an energy. Yeah our show with

Considering how they've grown apart. He wants to let that relationship die gracefully so he can focus on others Hey, okay Trav Okay Husband has made it clear. He wants a clean break from sea sea has just sent me an RSVP He shouldn't have done so many letters Yeah, RSVP for the party Do I respect my husband's decision and go about the agonizing process of uninviting somebody from a party for no apparent reason Or do I play dumb and just let sea show up surprise

Not that last one that last one's the worst of both worlds. Yeah, because it still happens when that happens and It's and it's bad with and it's bad a bad thing you've done Man, this is this is a tough one to do because there's two at like Causes for the dissolution of this friendship and one is just like grown-up stuff you You know, maybe both of you haven't been putting in the effort required to maintain this relationship blown off a couple of Invitations to things not responding to a few texts and then it just kind of slowly

Decays and that is salvageable, right? Yeah um If it's a situation where sea has done something truly heinous And your husband's like I'm I am done with sea Then is it's your husband's birthday party? You should you should do the uncomfortable thing Well, I mean it does say in the question that's been drifting away And I don't think if someone was like, yeah, he stole my dog and blew my car out But I feel like we've been drifting away

Like I think I think we can pretty much assume now. I will say to my dad Yeah, so I feel like we're growing apart. Um, I I would say for me There's an added level here, which is that just on a personal level, I do not care for surprise parties um Okay, because I like to a part of the exciting thing for a birthday party for me or any kind of party is like looking forward to it Um and like planning it. I like planning it. Hey, I'm this is feeling irrelevant. No, no, no, I'm getting there So here's what I would say here's what I would want if I were your husband Tell your husband about this thing that has happened this misunderstanding and then give your husband the option to uninvite

themselves From the party Right and now it's a surprise on the guests, right? Ah surprise. My husband's not here But you can leave your presence on the table This is this is not that don't do that We actually had somebody do that once where uh, there was in in college We were throwing a surprise party uh For for someone and she I found out about it and she snuck in the back door like climbed in through the window and jumped in through the kitchen

Like surprise and everyone looked at her like You have taken everything from me I like that though reclaiming the power of the event Yeah, you like that but nobody else at the party did and also the thing about a surprise party is also like Surprise you're hosting this party and you need to make sure everybody here is happy Yeah fed and you don't get to go to bed until we all leave Yeah, I think that adult friendships are Are difficult. I think you reach a certain age and

Gaining new friendships becomes a million times harder And so I reach phases in my life where I'm like, I need to start reconnecting with some buds because I'm I ain't making any new ones And maybe this is an opportunity for that, but I think you I do think you need to Like blow the surprise and tell your husband. What's what what is yeah? What's happening? Because no, no or unless There's two other things that could happen one The show but the surprise party and then see shows up and hustles like oh, it's you And she's like, yeah, I guess and your husband's like I I get it. I remember You know what I mean? Like you potting my dad, but I still love you like yeah, I forgive you and then forgiveness

You know what I mean? Like it's like it's bad like the magic says that who says that who says forgiveness Just somebody watching they both say it at the same time And then other people watching kind of like slowly start muttering like It's just like yeah, this is just like that one episode of one tree hill. Yeah, where's that exactly literally this exact The other thing that could happen is your c shows up and your husband looks you like, huh? And you look at your husband you mouth the words clean kill It's like I'm not gonna let you let it die gracefully through neglect I brought him here because I want you to in this fuck like

Just fucking put the bolt right in its brain in this relationship in front of done End it clean kill. Hey everyone. I fucking hate this guy Surprise you don't have to do that. No, you don't have to do that. It could just be hey everybody I don't feel as close to this guy as I used to and I don't think that they're necessarily worth keeping tabs on And I don't want to feel anything when they die. So I'm just gonna go ahead and do clean break And I think if c and I are both being honest neither one of us has been putting the energy into this So this has just become a wake for our friendship Oh, p.s. Pizza rolls are coming out in three make sure you save some room

I put them in not knowing you all were here just because I wanted pizza rolls. I hope there's enough for everybody And if you feel like you do need to choose between me and see just remember which one of them's got pizza rolls It's me It's me the real one Your real friend your real friend. It's my birthday pizza roll. Stay with me. You promise you'd never leave Can we stroll down that that yellow big road to go and visit the wizard of the cloud? Sorry, you said wizard of the cloud again. Yeah, no, that's what the show is going to become inaccessible Can't make it less accessible than it is currently to new listeners. There's a visit of the

Actually, you fucking don't I don't know why you thought you got to do maybe because you love doing a wizard voice Yeah, you okay, not a bad wizard. It's offensive actually because not every wizard sounds like that some wizards are just like What's up abracadabra zap? No problem. No problem. You know what? That's fair Um, oh, i'm spelling here. Hey, get out of the way zips apps up Can you shits me the wizard of the cloud i'm spelling over here This is me the wizard cloud. Sorry. We're all doing auditions. This is fun um

So this is a this one was sent in by gab thanks gab and it's uh, it's a wiki how article that is titled how to make your cousin jealous Huh, which is which is awesome. I got a lot of cousins And they've been riding a little too high on their horses. And so I want to just sort of know I want to let them know sort of what the packing order is just a quick reminder Um, a lot of these steps are just about sort of empowering yourself Uh, like always look your best. That's good in general Yeah, that's a good way to mean you're world jealous Yeah, but when you're but especially your fucking cousin who thinks they're so cool

There's another step here that says improve yourself and your life Which I feel like I would need several other wiki how articles To get just a lot of work Yeah, um, why isn't one of the options in there lie? Uh, that would be a much shorter list, huh? I think it would be easier to lie than number three succeed in life Four focus on school to do a good job in it. Ugh. What cousin is like? Yeah, let me check those grades though. Dum dum. What? A's and B's

Shit Become better than them at something. Okay. All right. Yeah This says to if you realize your cousin likes to paint why not take up painting too practice hard and long until you become better than your cousin Uh, so Mr. McRoy Your gallery opening is a smash hit. Do you remember what it was that first drew you to to your aesthetic eye? Yeah, my fucking cousin was talking like crazy shit and So I decided to become better at them the painting and that's why I made him open up a gallery next door

That's little and full of his shitty art and I make everybody go from my awesome art building into his awesome shitty art building Make more friends from school. Maybe even date someone. Whoa. Okay. How did you meet? How'd you meet mom? my cousin was thinking they were really hot shit and so Um, be more mature such as being more alert smarter and acting older than they do that came a little late in the list for me I think Yeah, because like a lot of this has been Full journeys of self-improvement based on sure competition and jealousy and then the list is like hey grow up Grow the fuck up

If you do that you the rest of the list doesn't matter because you will stop worrying about making your cousin jealous eight be positive nine Don't let him or her boss you around 10 if a if an adult asks you and your cousin to do something do it awesome Damn, you're fucking cool cuz shit You really did the dishes damn it dammit. I thought I was awesome But you're over there mopping because my mom told you to shit

This is so far this list boils down to how to make your cousin jealous be better than them Yeah, right. That's the obvious right. Oh put the work in got it. I want the shortcuts It's like cousin. I see them three to four times a year I don't need to really do this. I just got to show up at Christmas looking better with a fine partner on my arm And say I have two nintendo switches, right? That's all Well step 11 is a real shortcut. It's just Act strong Act strong. That's a good. That's a good year. If you were to boil down

All the advice that we have ever given on this program In the end if you had to keep parsing and parsing and dividing and Eventually you would get to Act strong act strong Act strong Yeah, don't be strong Act strong now what I like about that is that That could be a personality thing right where you're showing strength of character

But it could also be that you've like bought some inflated dumbbells that look like real dumbbells And you're pretending to like curl them and it's nothing and you wear like one of those onesies with the big belt Oh, oh getting canes. Oh, yeah I directed a superman musical once and we had an inflatable chair on stage For this one part where superman was really upset to demonstrate his strength and then he picked up the chair And every night that kid would just throw the chair off the stage And it left me thinking superman would never throw his arm chair through his house I don't know why he's decided to add this in. I don't improve this improv and every night I'd ask him not to

But every night the spirit of superman went to him It's time to throw his chair off the stage Act act strong it goes on to say if your cousin teases you makes fun of you mocks you are embarrassed as you Or even makes a low comment about you just ignore it and act as if you didn't hear what they said Also act like you do not care what the negative thing they said about you I'm hoping that step 12 is Now quick get out of that room and just fucking break down crying just just absolutely lose it Okay, and let it all get it all out and then go back in the living room and it's time to act strong again

That's strong. What's more now? I would I would argue wiki how I'm sorry that that's act resilient Right, which doesn't get me wrong is a good thing as well But I would posit this if you want to act strong and you have a cousin that belittles you you're gonna want to get Maybe whoever the cool uncle is or like the bad boy older cousin Or somebody like that right and you're gonna get them in cahoots, right and when they see you Getting bullied by this cousin they come over and they say like yeah Wimp or whatever and then you turn around and you deck Cooler cousin or you know whoever the big one is and then they start crying and they're like oh, you're so strong

I didn't know you're so strong and then they run off crying and then you turn to a cousin You're trying to make jealous and you're like do you want some now now? You will have to pay your plant about 150 dollars america. That's the going break for one of these Right, but if you can establish dominance that way right you don't have to do any of that other shit um It goes on to like another series of Tips and the tips are how to develop common interests if you realize they like to paint why not take up painting too

No, this is If they notice that you've taken up their hobby and they say you're a copycat I can do it better or something to sort don't react just say well you've been doing it for years And I just started this is literally one of the steps. This is like they've like damn Did we explain the take-up painting but become better at painting thing enough? No, fuck Let's get back. It's already out there. It's getting clicks. We can't change it now But this is the next thing and is the last tip and it's so fucking important I hope we should have put this first because there's probably people out there making their cousins mad jealous

And they didn't hear this very important thing. That's the final thing and that's remember Don't walk up to them and rub things in their faces. You just want to make them jealous not make them hate you That's so important. That's so important That's so important I've never been jealous of someone who's trying to make me jealous But I've definitely been jealous of people who are just flat out better than me So just keep that in mind. You don't want to you don't want to show your hand Right, you want to make it seem like you care about your own self development

And it has nothing to do with them and that's the trickiest part because when you get fucking kick-ass at painting And they're still like doing squiggles or whatever. You're gonna want to Make a big deal out of it. I totally get that But then they'll hate you but then they'll hate you but jealousy and love go hand in hand, right? And jealousy and love and cousins. I'm just saying a competition is only fueled By like your desire to prove to them that you're better than them. So you care about what they think Right, and this is going to spur you both on jealousy can be a powerful force Look at uh Picasso and da Vinci those two were always competing at each other's fucking throats

What they did but they know you know what they did though They didn't take it over the top. They were jealous of each other. They never hated each other No, and they only kissed twice Yeah, um, here's what's fucked up gang The q&a segment Full of laughs the questions are here and they're plentiful If you want to see these answers These staff researched answers is what they're calling them

You have to pay us dollars american money. Well, that's a bit okay for us. No one should do that But for us that is a business investment. That's true. We can claim it is name your own price It is name your own price. Well, that's a mistake That price starts at one dollar, which I don't know that looking at what internet people say how to make cousin's jealous Is worth that much money? I don't know if we could talk to our financial experts and say Oh gang, it looks like you wrote off one dollar on wiki how so we are going to be audited Terribly Hey guys, my cousin is rude and disrespectful. I told my mom that she won't address the problem. What do I do?

I don't fucking know I guess so Here's another question. My wife and I used to participate in a trivia night at a nearby dive bar. Oh, I miss that. I miss that I miss that I miss that shitty beer Bathrooms with no doors on the stalls. Oh trivia names. I don't I don't remember The one that Dwight and me and Sid and everybody used to do was the robber seat bird is two for trivia. Yeah That's pretty good. That's a good one

Uh, anyway with trivia night prizes for winning rounds varied from gift cards to food and drink We went around and the host of the game came by with our prize Which was a small scrap of paper that said six shots of fireball He said we could redeem it at the bar Neither of us were interested in shots that night but figured we'd come back later with friends However, due to a global pandemic, we have not been able to return to the bar in almost a year It is now reopened. I'd like to claim our prize How do I convince the bartender that I did not write six shots of fireball a scrap of paper?

I still plan on going and paying for food drinks But I would also like my free spicy drink and that's from does this count as money in Des Moines And this is a good question. I think right now we're talking right off the bat There's gonna be some credibility because if you were going to write If you were going to scribble on a piece of paper six free shots of blank Right fireball is never it would never unless you're our father Who has from what I understand taken on quite a a penchant for fireball He knows you're kidding me. He makes a he makes a cocktail out of it and like diet like coke zero or something like

Now hold on Sorry, I'm dry retching the podcast or a zoom soon fireball does have a cinnamony thing I can see that going with like a like a Coke like with some grenadine perhaps. I don't know. I'm trying to give our father the benefit of the doubt I'm gonna find out what this master mixologist It's worth noting mac macaroy has not like drank drank. No. No. Yeah, ever ever I don't believe he started consuming alcohol on a even semi regular basis until he was 63 Not even then really like it not even then

He told me I visited that full I visited that full for father's day You're welcome dad Not that he listens, but we visited that full for father's day and he showed me a place outside his house and he said Every he told me am I children right in front of my children. He says girls every morning. This is where Uh peeps comes out and does a crossword puzzle. It drinks a juice. Oh boy. Awesome. So retirement's going well, huh dad? It's an energy juice

Fuck yeah, and he said that was a straight face I just laid down on the ground and said it's so fucking depressing because we have sure so much genetic material But that's going to be me in 25 years. Just like anyway, this is my juice spot To my cross every morning. I walk out the back door of my house take six steps Steps and I sit here and do a well for me. It'll be you know, kind of a hover crossword. Yeah a holographic You know put a three-dimensional Letter cube with hollow my hollow drink. This is where I solved my tesseract right

Oh, man, uh, okay. So between that and me having coffee and playing a little bit of video games every morning Oh, it's cool when they do is not much. You don't proudly announce it to my children. That's true Love that guy. Uh, so the listen the This is money, right? I mean, yeah, this is the thing This is money, but it's not money anymore It was money the night that you got it But now it's not money if you go back there if it's huntington Like they're

This is not the same bar anymore first off. You're gonna walk in and it'll be like stumblers four or five You're down several stumblers at this point. Yeah, uh, and it's not the same bar. They do not have to honor that that said I feel like if you Tell them this story The vibes currently Might be conducive to in your favor for sure Yeah, we all want that for ourselves.

Uh, so thanks to ryan and matt for submitting some of these And uh, uh, uh, so just real quick just some quick quick ones. All right, okay number one

And I saw this on one of my main sites for news And I was first like how dare you okay, so this is the story Papa John San Antonio provides teacher appreciation pizza party Hey, you released a new story about how you did a pizza party You're Papa John's that's pretty cool They donated pizzas ending the school year on a high note for two deserving schools in edgewood i sd Winston elementary school an et ran middle school Donations were made in the form of pizza parties and this is the reason I'm bringing this to you because

You're right griffin. They're more thought about I was like, you know, I think it's kind of wild to teach your own pizza horn But this is why corporations do charity, right? They want they want the attention and I'm giving it to them and the cycle is complete I don't know. It's kind of a cynical way of looking at it pizza and the well the wheel keeps on spinning But here's the part where I had to stop for a second Donations were made in the form of pizza parties And a visit from mr. Slice. Huh the franchise mascot. Oh Hey, hey, wait a minute. Wow

Can we all did we just Sorry, did you say The Papa John's mascot Just a mr. Slice. I would actually say it's even wilder than that This is a specific franchise in san Antonio that said, hey, do you know how Papa John's doesn't have a mascot? Fuck that. No Travis. No Travis. No, actually it says the franchise mascot It's the mascot of Papa John's Mr. Slice. Okay. I would argue saying the franchise means that

Location. No, sir. No, sir. I'm here to tell you that there is a mascot of Papa John's pizza His name is mr. Slice. I gotta look this up. What's he look like his name is miss? No, you don't need to look it up I'm here. Just shut the fuck up showing you. He's telling you. I'm telling you. I'm paying you a picture His name is mr. Slice. He is his name is mr. Slice His name is mr. Slice He had he's shaped like a giant piece of pizza Yeah, it looks a little like because it's impossible to make a good triangle costume He looks a little deflated

His name is mr. Slice and I will say it is kind of hilarious that they said part of our donation Part of our donation is a visit from mr. Slice the franchise mascot So if I search mr. Slice Papa John's The first result is a tweet from 2017 Where Papa John's is talking about a Spotify playlist that mr. Slice put together That's the top result

The the one right after that is a Papa John's mr. Slice costume for sale on ebay. Okay This is your storied character. This is your franchise mascot Mr. Slice Huh, here's what's sus to me Papa John resigned in summer 2018 So it feels like maybe a year before Papa John's was like Papa John Shatner ain't long for this world. We gotta get someone new in here fresh blood fresh meat fresh sauce

Travis you've just sent us a link to a video of someone dressed as mr. Slice making dough Slapping dough actually has the video describes it. Well, wait, this video this video is posted on my birthday 2010 Yeah Huh, okay, so here's what I need you to do. Well, you have to move on to other stories But do we please tweet at papa? Please tweet at papa johnson shack and ask him where the fuck mr. Slice is I want to see these brands

Don't say fuck because the brands won't and it engages you if you use perfume. Oh, right, right, right But let's talk about that on jeffy's place talking about mr. Slice because where's mr. Slice Now they hide again I just one last thing that I will say to you looking at all the pictures I can find of this costume You would think a very large brand would figure out how to structure a mascot costume So that it doesn't look like a melting rocket pot. No, this is what I'm saying It's in but it's a it's a bad costume. I see why they killed him But please bring him back. We all deserve it. It's been a tough question for everybody. It doesn't seem like he's dead

It just seems like he's on the run hiding in san Antonio Yeah, real quick. Just wanted this isn't a joke.
