Uh, jamey lee curtis dangling from a helicopter and that's the grip that griffin has on this kevin voice right now
It's like right there and if you could just pull well, the whole point of this was to give me a chance to do my slam dunk
James fader and then he introduced this
James fader couldn't make it today
Because he got here. He got very sick. James spader and i'm here. I don't know who this is, but it's not
It's it's me. James spader. I was pretending to be. Oh, sorry. I'm wait. I

Gosh rip the I probably was it seems like I probably would have been hey guys. It's me griffin
Sorry, I love this show
Is the office ready for us we're in a sort of loop
Right now a kind of vortex that's going to be hard for you two james spaders and you the actor who played kevin on the office to understand

I'm going to do you see this orb that's floating around. That's where the audience is
I'm gonna take us over to smartly scrufflin. No, I can't yeah, let's stop it all smart. Let's real
All right. Hold on. Let me grab the orb. Oh, fuck. It's so hot

I'm gonna count down from three. Can't wait. Should the impression be of your name. So to be immediately
You're introducing yourself like and I'm looking I'm watching griffin google the names. No, no, I got it. I'm good. I'm good
You're good. He's good. He's good. I didn't have two fellas. All right. You ready? I got him tattooed on my heart. Yeah, three two
One, I'm john. I'm Jason Bateman

Let me grab the orb and I'm gonna fucking run with it
Right down the hallway back to the bim-bam studios and wait come back
I jason bateman need to eat your orb for fuel. Oh, no, not again
He's an orb based talent. So this is a that's pretty good. That's pretty good. It's all right. This is an advice podcast
Now do donald duck. Yeah, let's all freak
Oh
Oh, we love it. We love that here. We love that here my mickey mouse is getting better, but I still don't have a donald
Yeah, no one does nobody has a donald. Uh, it's a real duck. Hey, so this is an advice show
um, sorry
About the inconvenience, but you did show up
Uh, don't complain about this because it was your fault for showing up so early
Time for advice. I love to take my dog for walks in our beautiful riverside park
He's a good boy and other dogs and people love to meet him
I'm fine with this as he's super friendly and loves the attention
But i'm socially awkward
So I don't know how to interact with the other people who are petting my dog. Do I pet them too?
Can I look off into the distance?
What are some small talk suggestions for people whose dogs have their noses halfway up my dogs, but
Please help me brothers. That's for mumbling mutt and Memphis. They had to have meant
Do I pet their dog too their dog? They could not have meant
Pet their pet the flip at the flesh of the human being who's just trying to live their life
Next time someone says can I pet your dog say can yeah, absolutely. Can may I pet you?
Yeah, and then my dog will pet me and the circle will be complete
Your dog gets left out. Fuck your dog. Your dog does not belong here guys. We never get questions
This just occurred. We never get questions to start like so my problem is I'm too socially well adjusted
I always know what to do in every situation. You know, I have a problem
For one of those lucky people we it takes three of us to figure out what not one normal person might do. I I think
What I would do start petting my dog is I would look away and say I'll give you two a moment
That's good
Just step back and go when you're ready. Yeah, we have no business you and I
Can you charge money $20 I was about to say the words $20 $20 my dog
Oh, good thing if someone says can I pet your dog say I don't know can you and then you don't have to worry about it
Because they won't keep talking to you. No, that's bad face with with a knife. How about this?
Okay, yes, you can but you have to promise me that you won't make any wishes promise
They could go really really bad. I've seen some really bad chaotic wishes come after this dog
Please you have to promise me you're not wishing anything and you might even in the back of your mind
Like I wish I could get some Arby's later
And you might think that you've got it airtight and that there is no room for ironic
Classic but it's this dog this dog will twist it on you a hundred percent of the time. Please don't use up my dog
Which that's the horrors that I bought him
um
Can you
Pet the dog too and be like wow that is I've never touched this dog do what to it
That's even thought of that very good the first show me how you do that show me that get flat hands or closed hands
If you were gonna express this dog's anal glands, how would you go about that? Just
Can I bet you're done? Yeah, as soon as they touch me like haha yours now and run away
You were the last one to touch it. He's your problem now
Um, why do you do you love my dog?
What are your intentions you love you love my dog. Hey, what are you asking me for ask him?
Um
This seems make him ask the dog say can I pet you?
Yes, get down there hands and knees and beg
Say it in say it in dog tongue not in your filthy human speech the dog only let him pet you back
um
it's uh
Yeah, I it's I mean I feel like there's a certain class of people for whom this is not a bug. It's a feature
Yes, where it's like I get to meet lots of other like this is the moment right the ice has been broken
This is the moment where they would say like so
Now we've broken the ice. Let's chat like people who seek out. Yeah, this is like a
It's like people who are into
Like motorcycles and stuff where they just want you to ask them about their motorcycles so that you can ask them like
about their motorcycle
And be like good good car people regularly have events because I hear them. Yeah, uh where they just park their good cars near each other
Yeah, and then they just and they walk around like pretty good pretty good
Well, the nice thing about that especially if they have a dog too, right if you have that shared thing
You can focus 100 part a percent of the conversation on that thing
Yeah, right it's when it starts to branch out if someone's like and tell me about you
The human attached to this dog and I'm like, oh no, no, no, no, but then that's not what this is
You've got five like rapid fire questions
about dog care like
what so
We love dogs, right like like but a good conversation started. I don't talk about dogs
So I don't know is that I mean you could say like what breed how old are they?
Yeah, what's their name if you want throw something like looks like there's some
Oh like she but in there doesn't have to nobody knows nobody
Just pick any kind of like classy looking dog. Oh, there is there's some visual in there
And then this person this person is uncomfortable talking to other people Travis
I know that you don't understand this but they're uncomfortable talking to other people
And what you want them to do is take a swing and a miss
Like to have the awkwardness of getting their dogs breed wrong. No, here's what I'm saying
There is no miss, right because here's you're not a dog person
There are two things that dog owners love talking about their dogs breed
The correct. Yes, you are right good for noticing or I you would think that but actually either way that person
It's the two things that they will talk about
The most is if you get it right or get it wrong. Now either way, it doesn't matter
It doesn't matter if they do pay your dog a compliment like oh, he's such a precious special baby
Look at those toe beans. I want to eat them up. You can say like, yeah
But did you did you see
Clifford the big red dog movie?
Because this dog this dog is good
But in that one you're what are some of your favorite dog in that one the dog is
A very unique color and so big that a grown-up can ride on him like a big horse and you can't
Do that with my dog. Um, so it's it's a fine
It's a fine dog. It is no Clifford the big red dog. No, which now I would
I'd trade him for Clifford in a heartbeat
I would put this dog above Beethoven though because that dog
Messy all right, and I see that look on your face
A lot of people get confused by this Beethoven is actually about a dog not about the composer
I know what you're thinking because you see it's a Beethoven movie people think Beethoven is the charles groden character
But actually Beethoven a dog is called Beethoven's dog. Yeah
And strangely charles groden is called Beethoven's owner and no one's quite sure
Where Beethoven exists in there's a middleman we haven't pinned down yet
Between charles groden and the dog that connects the two of them. We're not sure
But do you think turner and hooch are married in real life?
God, I still miss grody every day. I know it's tough. Yeah, they made a series
Of successful films off of is a big dog man. I don't know what to tell you
He's a big dog. Sometimes he knocks it over. It is that it is
No, it's a genius formula. It's fiverr said that fiverr said man
I love it when when charles groden hates stuff
Yeah, whenever you ever see if you ever wind that guy up and see him get like really really grumpy
Oh, it's good. He puts like a weird manic smile on when he's really mad that if I was there in real person
I'd be terrified but we watching I'm just eating my popcorn and loving it
They but they pointed this out of black check, but he was in cliffer. You remember cliffer
With martin short as a big red fucking dog. Yes. Justin. We talked about it a second ago. No, he's a little white boy
That's what it's called cliford the little white boy
Played by the old
Uh, I just realized what was the pitch for the cliford movie with martin shorted. No, here's the thing
He's a devil. He's a demon child
Played by an adult and also charles groden is there. Sorry. It's it's skewing too
This is too close to anti martin short talk. We won't know. I would never I would never not abide
I would never uh, there's one another question
Yeah, because I just discovered that the wiki how I had pulled we have done before
And so I do believe that the wizard is going to be on vacation for this particular episode
Well, how about another question that you know what?
What you would have noticed that if they had arrived when they were supposed to arrive. Yeah, instead of 20 minutes early
You would have had this is their fault
My mom and I love to watch shows together. I they actually said like
So I'm putting a little yeah. Hey, Justin. How about you don't editorialize? They're still getting to know each other
My mom and I like to watch shows together and recently
What if the question was like my mom and I like to watch shows together
Can you guys recommend several new shows that you've been enjoying?
No jokes and jokes out of the room the jokes part is the word to talk about what if they were just like
What shows?
What are you guys watching right now? Don't make bits about it. Don't describe it too much. Just say like the name
I've been watching resident alien. It's good
Do you have friends that when you see them at a party you only talk about the shows you've been watching?
Yeah, and once you once you have gone through all the shows you've been watching you get this feeling like
I don't know this person very well
I'm an adult. Of course. I have those people. I don't think we have that much in common
Now that I think about oh, it's fun when you find out they also like board games or something
And it's like well if you played this board game and that opens up another 20 to 30 minutes of conversation
Yeah, and at that point you feel okay about leaving the party you've been there long enough 40 minutes
Is a good amount of time at that point
Do you want to read more than the first five words of this question? Yeah, I was just making some conversation for the podcast
sorry
um
Let's see now you got me on
Recently we've been watching the great british bake off nice
We invited my dad to come watch with us and ever since he's been watching it often
Every time I go downstairs. He's watching it. I heard him step till one in the morning last night watching it
He said he couldn't pick me up from school today, and I had to get a ride from a friend
And when I got home he was watching it
Should I interfere? That's from baffled by bakeoff in ohio. Oh, he found something wow
I miss this feeling. Oh, when you find something don't you oh you find a show
There's so many of them. Yeah, and you could just watch all of them if you want god
I miss that also for it to be great british bake off in this day and age. Oh the joy the serotonin
You're in you're in for some pivots. You need to be a yeah
But I mean imagine if you got him on to like uh breaking bad and it's just like I'm worried about the influences
Is going to have on my dad but great british bake off the worst thing is going to happen
You got some more big goods in the house now. He might start affecting a british accent
Yeah, and we love that it it the thing with breaking bad is it doesn't have
paul hollywood sir paul hollywood's just like cerulean
Pools that you just went that he just shoots his sex beams out of the tv
Have you not seen the supercuts of all the times when uh, welterwhite finished making a batch and paul hollywood
Step in and try it and back. It's a good bake and shake his hand
Do you remember that? Yeah, it happened like a hundred times. You would pick up some of that crunchy that crunchy rock
And you'd like eat a big rock of it and he'd be like it's a little soggy in the bottom
And then he'd be like zeep-zop zubidy borp. I don't know what you do when you have done milk
I don't I've not done that and I don't really know
I don't know what it's like like I can imagine what doing other drugs is like but meth
I assume you just go like
And it turns you into like a alien man. It turns you into an andy samberg character. Yeah, yeah
This is fine as long as it does lead to getting goods baked for you
Because that is the outcome so often with with great british break off. It's also a good
Uh, uh, it's a good onboarding to like task master, which is another good one. You want to watch together
No, now you're just doing the thing that we said we wanted. I know
But I wanted to do it now. There is a okay
There is a cd underbelly of possible outcome of him watching too much of this
It's like next family get together grandma brings that a little pie. He takes a bite. He's like soggy bottom
It shoves it away, right where he's oh and he's like you call this a scone
I'm like throws it back in her face like prude did that one time
You know that kind of thing or he's like oh you guys hear about bin gate and it's like that. We can't keep bringing up
In gate it's been a long time that kind that's the downside that is I
I will say that I do enjoy
On a whole baked goods less
Because now I know what to look for what they could have been
Yeah, like when I eat a bread and it's like super chewy
Before I knew anything I was like oh chewy bread, but now I know like they didn't prove it
They didn't prove it enough they didn't prove the yeast they improve the existence of bread
No, I I'm glad now because just from watching great rich bake off
I've been able to add the word claggy into my vocab and I don't know what it means
And I don't think they do either
But it seems like a good way to really put down someone's baking. She's like it's a big
Claggy is a little stodgy
You don't have to interfere. You don't have to intercede. Just let me enjoy the baking
Maybe set a timer so he doesn't stay up till one o'clock or miss picking up from school
I I
I do. Okay. I love cooking shows. I love great Jewish break off. I mean, I love Zumbos best desserts
I love is it cake sweet genius with Ron Ben Israel
Uh, is it cake?
But the other ones I love
And uh, I I'm hard on is it cake because there was a version called eye candy starring josh groban on roku
What was a quibi and then it was on right anyway, sorry
Doesn't have anything to do with anything
Is it possible your father is obsessed just with the episode where they had to make cake busts of famous people
And someone may be nightmare tom de long
I love those shows. I have never felt like
I gotta fucking watch the next one really
I gotta see what happens next. It's the reason I did a watch the long podcast called bacon
Uh, I think it's the last two seasons. That's how we feel when we watch it. We have watched uh the season
Uh, like the first season that aired on netflix. We watched that shit. Uh, uh, like once a month
We watched that same series over and over again
I feel bad that the wizard let us down this week. Yeah, it is a little sad, isn't it?
Do you guys want to learn how to fight with us? Hey, we're recording this on uh, september 1st griffin
Don't monthly observance. Do not do this to me. Aren't you guys curious? What kind of months it's gonna be in september? I'm so curious
God dang it
Yeah, so we got some special month
observances
To do happy september happy september first everybody
Did you know that this is the month if if you do have a new fall hat?
That you are excited about it is fall hat month
No, it's not fall is here. It's getting colder. So it's time to break out the head gear. It's fall hat month
During fall hat months switch out of the cool weather head protection
And into stylish felt and fabric styles. No period on the end of that sense. No period. Just laying it all out there
someone was murdered
writing that first paragraph and somebody hopped back in
For the next paragraph hats were probably one of the first items of clothing found among primitive humankind
What so
Where are we going with this? That can't possibly be right when we're walking around with our butt and gooch
and
Privates just out and someone's like I have to get my hair hidden birds and bugs keep getting in there
um
So it's fall hat month everybody
and
I guess hats have played an impressive role in human history presumably us president
William Henry Harrison died shortly after his inaugural dress because he refused to wear a cap on that cold nasty day
Now hold on just as was it just if my man's had had
A nice derby on he would still be with us today is what you're saying you can't prove that you can't prove that you assume
But there's no way to prove that
It wasn't a magic hat that a witch gave him and said as long as you wear this you'll never get sick
You don't know
No, I refuse to
But what if it was no no no no i'm closing this what if it was a magic hat they give all presidents
Better breakfast month better breakfast on you judgment till you don't know what i'm eating
You don't know baby. I can't get better. Hey, you can always get better. I'm looking at a picture
It looks like it has seven banana slices and some chia seeds. No, thank you
That's it. No, thank you any breakfast be better than that. That can't be it
That can't be i've seen pictures of a balanced breakfast and they didn't contain chia seeds
It contained frosty flakes a glass of milk and orange juice for some reason. Yeah, it toast
If I ate a balanced breakfast as recommended by cereal commercials
I would be on the toilet until lunchtime. It's so much fucking food
It's so much food. It's milk and orange juice
Do you want me to do the orange juice also? It is in a picture
Did I did I need did I wait did I take the extra minute to get out a picture and fill my kid's
picture with juice to order breakfast month decant your juice for your dirt
Decant your juice and give your kids
These fucking hard hardened charcoal tablets to enjoy with their seven banana slices
Can we go back to uh as long as we're talking about can we go back to original fruit loop recipe, please
Just before they use the art back when they use the artificial colors and the artificial sweeteners
Like the old school tricks recipe as well, please
I'm listen. I'm an adult now and I would like to make these decisions for you. They did they don't okay
You're saying a lot of wild stuff. They did go back to the original tricks. Look people hated the no artificial colors
Thank you. So you're covered there. Thank you. Awesome. Save your photos save your photos month
save your photos month
Now in case of I guess a storm
That comes to try to take your photos away. I guess put them in the cloud that that one doesn't feel like it needs
That won't take me out. I don't have the urgency of spending a month doing that
um
I'm almost certain we've talked about international update your resume month, which like for us would be kind of
I don't want I don't want the two of you to ever update your resumes because that would affect me
That would have implications for me and my life
If I find out the two of you are updating your resume
I would probably quit first
Just so you don't get the satisfaction of pulling the rug out from me
Well, good news. But I could tell you this personally. Yeah, unless the employer is interested in a decade of podcast experience
I don't have a lot
Unless they're like, well, yeah. Oh, we see here that back from 2007 to 2009. You worked at Best Buy
Interesting. Yes, please be the manager of this big company. I don't see that happen
I'm not bringing a lot to the table outside of what I'm currently doing
Looks looks like I haven't updated my resume in about eight years
So I really don't know if I have I don't have one. I have an acting resume
From my time upon the boards
I have a curriculum verite that I use for my professorships
Special skills being really good at acting
That's not one, but that's a secret for you. You can put that as a special skill and anything being good at doing this job

All they've got some festive fall merchandise
Just so you know
They're
Dipping into the starbucks coffee reserves. I mean, it's it's gonna be a big fall over there. I don't know that we have
But isn't that are they trying to lower the price of coffee by the gallon?
What do you mean to open up the reserves?
No, it's like a fancier coffee. It's like a better fancier. They have better coffee
And they're just like we could be giving you better coffee than what we have
But we're holding this back. You dirty birds. I mean, it's a commodity, right?
Supplying to man you can pay for the as good of a coffee as you can afford
You guys like a pumpkin spice lattes basic. No, I'm not really my thing basic much

Does anyone else on this call or in the world have the experience of it becomes fall you get really excited you buy like fall beer
So you buy a bunch of it and then you have like six of them in a week or whatever and you're like
Oh, I'm tired of this already
And then those pumpkin beers sit in your fridge for many months until it gets to be like summer and you're like
Well, I haven't been to the store in a while and I'm out of beer
So you crack open like a pumpkin beer in the middle of july and you're like, oh, this actually is terrible
I hate this. Yeah, but then fall comes around again and you're like, oh, hell. Yeah pumpkin beer season
Yeah, that's sort of just the
futility of
Of it all, huh?
Yeah, man
There's an Artemis moon donut at crispy cream. Oh, what delicious. Yeah, it's a one day special
For the to celebrate the planned launch of Artemis one
Can you and they fucking post I have beef with naza because I get my kid I get my class together
And sit in front of the big tv screen. I say they're about to shoot that shit right up into outer space
It's got nobody on it, which is wasteful
It's like do you see cars on the highway with no one in them emissions much
And I was my class was psyched and then the last minute they were like something was wrong with one of the engines
So we didn't do it and it's like no one's in the rocket if it does a big explode
My class is gonna talk like remember that forever and talk now
I didn't know there was no one in it and that actually explains to me why they were so candid about
The engine problem because you know if that's a manned mission. They don't just say like we had engine
They were this close
Right. Well because then shuffled a few there was a big whoopsy that devin should have caught and he didn't
And if that shit had gone up there, it would have been yikes city
end of astronauts
Imagine being an astronaut who's like on that and they're like, yeah, we had a lot of mechanical issues
But it'll be fine by tomorrow get ready to go and you're like what no
It is still kind of hilarious. I understand what happens. I'm basically I've watched a lot of different movies
But it is kind of funny that we're gonna black like blast a rocket into the sky
It's cost like billions of dollars
To get to this point and then it starts raining and everyone's like
Fuck
No, no, no, no
No, sorry
Sorry, we tried to oppose your will with our incredible brains. You win. Is this is it bad for the rocket?
No, it's just we wanted that morning glow on it when we took all the pictures
And we was like been staging it. We put a bunch of like doilies around it and stuff when the rocket get wet. It looks
So dumb the tear gets really flat
The decals get loose. It's it everything is wrinkled
There's a lot of steam when the rocket goes
If you the wet rock they do that they do that if for takeoff, but they don't do it for landing
Yeah, they're never like it's raining go around
We're gonna rear out you to phoenix
You we've been we've been thwarted
Madagascar is dry take a left go the ocean people are watching
Be careful
There's a reason they don't fish the rockets out of the ocean once they do go splash smash
And that's because they look so fucking stupid. Well, like a wet penis. Yeah, it's a big stupid. It's so stupid
so stupid
My first job out of college. I ran art groups for teens out of necessity
I trained myself into a lot of habits to help maintain boundaries and dissuade unwanted attention
One of these things included if I ever need to bend over I did it in the most unflattering way possible
Years later. I still have this habit
Problem is I now have a serious girlfriend. I'm afraid I've trained my body to move in this not ironic way forever
Brothers
And learn to bend over sexy. That's for resting in Rochester
All right, that's it takes your it takes a long time to train that out of you
Take it from me. I've had to work so hard to drain every bit of sexy out of my body
Yeah, it took years it for me. It just took um
Oh god, oh Travis dropped his camera
Wow, you really dropped it, huh? Yeah. Wow. I feel like I'm watching a colonoscopy for a robot
Wow
Wow, you dropped this shit out of that tribe. You still haven't fixed it. It's still he's still trying to fix it
It might have come unconnected disconnected. Wow. Wow
Well
We don't need to see I guess
Yeah, we just won't film the rest. Okay. I'm curious. I wish I'd gotten a little bit more
Maybe you could share a screen of a picture of you
great, uh
If we could have gotten some description of what your unsexy bend over method looks like if that would have been hugely helpful
Yeah, I think we can just take the bend and snap from Legally Blonde and do the antithesis of that
Yeah, so it's like kind of your squinching down to the side for sure
What if you just fall your camp is going one way your knees go the other you just fall to the ground
You have to stand back up and but see standing back up in a non-state like what's that look like?
I'll
The amount of overthinking that went into this is truly
humbling
Like I thought I thought that I overthink everything but to be like I'm an art teacher
I can't possibly bend over a sexy way if I drop a paintbrush
So i'm gonna develop this new I sort of twist my body
Sideways a little bit and then I do like if golem was picking up a paintbrush. Yeah, I go down gorilla style, baby
And then I get the paintbrush and I stand up so fast that no one could ever look at me and be like that's a
That's a erotic pose right there
Perfect. I love it. How do you bring it back? The question is not how to undo the sexy. They've done that
How do you bring it back? Oh, thank you, Justin?
Thank you for screen sharing a picture of me talking to a microphone. Now you did pick
My big beard face. Yeah, I'm sorry, travis. I should have measured your beard length against your current to find the exact
Image or maybe you can stop being such a clumsy
Fuck and keep your camera on your desk
Well, all right, okay
Um, I turned it off because I feared I was too sexy and it would distract you guys
um, but now
I've made me feel terrible about it and I don't know how to turn with so the weird thing is the camera light is on
So it wants to be on
You got it. I'm going to go over to bnh.com and see if they got manuals
And I will I will get back. All right, and then all how about this you guys do that and I'll do the show
You guys go do some other thing and I'll do the show people are listening to right. I got the orb right in front of me
It's not it's not my fault griffin. We weren't ready. Okay, right?
Travis would have had his camera in the perfect place
So secure. Yeah, all of this would be all set up already. Yeah, we weren't ready for so the bnh snap, you know
Look at that picture. You know about so good. Yeah about how to bend over sexy. A lot people think you're eating a mouse
Won't tell you wow that you have you gotta squish your butt cheeks together
With your hands
Oh
To get a sexy bend going to do a sexy bend if you can't squish your butt cheeks together using just butt
Muscle it's okay to use your I I'll write you a note that says it's okay
So you make it that's all right a note that says it's okay for you to use your hands to squish your butt cheeks together
Like a doctor's note. And so when you're your partner is like, why did you do that?
I mean, it looks great
But did you need to use your hands? You can show them the note that says griffin said it's okay for me to do it
Like that griffin said it's actually very important and fine. I would also say, uh, you know what makes everything sexy
What's that doing it a little slower so the slower you can bend over and stand back up the slower you can do it
Yeah, the also more eye contact. So slow lots of eye contact
And now that's gonna be harder if they're behind you you gotta turn behind so slow slow quick quick slow
Yeah, no no no slow quick slow slow quick and the whole time just push them
What push them together with your hands push them together with your hands eye contact
No matter where they are in the room if they move around you stay locked in on them the whole time
And when when you're picking the thing up you have to say, oh, there it is
Every time make sure you see like okay lock into the object first and then make eye contact
Because you don't want to whiff on it a couple times because then you're gonna be like, oh, there no, oh there
Oh, there it is. Can you tear your pants and make it seem like an accident?
Oh to get it all out
Yeah
How do you sorry? How do you mean tear your pants and make it look like an accident? Well, you're already holding your butt
Yeah, yeah, well, they're gonna know they're gonna think you tore your pants with your hands, which is not
sexy
Oh, can you hold your butt and then move your butt like it's talking
You know that clip of uh, linny kravitz on stage and then he
Kind of does like a little dip and then and his kravitz leather his leather pants
and his like whole hog
Springs forth as if it's been in prison this whole time like
It's so it's so tight inside of linny kravitz's pants
I just had to get out of there like something like that. I'm the real prince
What it's like the man in the iron mask. Oh, okay
I got confused. Yeah
I don't know why that was so hard for for me to get
Is it that reference is usually right at the top of mine, so it's very surprising
Hey, uh, thanks so much for listening to our program. Sorry that while I was gonna say sorry that you were early
But that's not my fault. That's your fault
Uh, try to work on that for next time griffin. Do you have any notes for the listener they can try to work on?
