Hey everybody, Mary Candlemites.
It's your oldest brother, Justin McRoy here.
And here's your babyist, baby, baby, baby,
Griffin McRoy.
Hi.
Happy holidays, Griffin.
Happy holidays to you, my good friend Justin.
So we're fresh off the dare I say triumph.
Do we sound hungover?
Cause we is.
Yeah, we is, hanging over.
We're fresh off the triumph, Candlemites 2014.
Thank you to everybody who came to the show
here at Huntington City Hall.
You're about to listen to the show right now.
I think you'd be pleased.
I think it's the best audio quality
we've gotten from a live show basically ever.
A wonderful surprise.
Better than the audio quality of the people
who are actually there, which if you're there
and you couldn't, you had trouble hearing us,
sorry about that.
The room was built long before amplified sound
had been invented.
And so I guess that maybe there's a lot of echoing.
So sorry about that, listen to it now
and maybe you'll get the goose
that you missed the first time around.
Speaking of missed goose, since you're not physically there,
a few things you should know.
At the beginning, our dad is dressed like
his character from the Adventure Zone, our D&D podcast.
So if you're people laughing, that is why.
Also, he's a silly looking man, just in general.
And that is, what else do they need to address?
Oh, we were dressed as the ghosts of Christmas
from a Christmas carol.
So if you hear us referencing that.
That's what that was.
I'm sure you can find images of that.
Yeah, just to do a Twitter search.
I mean, I don't want you,
I don't want to introduce more work into our podcast.
Listening to our podcast is already work, yeah.
So hoarse.
So hoarse.
I know, it's a long night.
But we hope you enjoy the live show.
We'll be back in the middle
to talk about a couple of sponsors,
but it's an extra long episode.
And it's clean.
And it's clean.
If you want to share it with family,
might be kind of a weird one since it was alive in Vyron.
But we hope you enjoyed it.
Oh, and we also got a day named after us.
Yes.
By the mayor.
By the mayor.
December 20th, yesterday felt different to you.
It's because December 21st, 2014,
was MB&BA day in Huntington.
That's true.
That's not like a goof.
We got a proclamation.
It was signed and stamped and delivered.
So there you go.
There it is.
So anyway, that's gonna do it for us right now.
I hope you enjoy the show.
We'll be back with you in just a few minutes.
Yeah.
I am Merle High Church of the popular podcast,
The Adventure Zone.
You can tell because of my dwarfy voice.
The Adventure Zone, one of the four most popular podcasts
in existence.
All right, let's get down to business.
Yeah.
Did you wash your hands when you were done?
No.
Let us begin.
The McElroy brothers are not experts.
And their advice should never be followed.
Travis insists he's a sex bird,
but if there's a degree on his wall, I haven't seen it.
Also, this show isn't for kids.
Well, this show kinda is for young adults.
This show isn't for real little kids,
which I only mentioned so the babies out there
will know how cool they are for listening.
What's up, you cool babies?
All right.
He was at half mass before, but now we can begin.
Hello.
I just knew how many dubstep Christmas songs.
There's a lot.
You can paint the dubstep out, it's pretty terrible.
Infinity dubstep Christmas songs.
Hi everybody, I'm Justin McElroy.
I'm Travis McElroy.
And I'm the lead singer of the Polyphonic Spree, apparently, tonight.
I'm Griffin McElroy.
I'm going to have to take my mask off because my breath is fucking up my glasses.
Because I'm the coolest kid.
Yeah, let's...
Does everybody have it out of their system?
You get it?
You get it.
Can we take...
Okay.
I can't...
Wait, hold on.
I can't take off.
This is, like, caked on for a week.
I'm going to be opening my presents like this.
Oh, we should say, listeners at home, we had a hilarious opening bit where we were dressed as the ghosts.
And Justin, he has a lovely green robe and a...
Are you going to garrison keyword this whole thing?
Or can we just do the show?
Well, I remember in Lake Wobegon when three brothers would really earn attention.
If you're listening and you're not here, I'm wearing, like, a cool pair of slacks that I got from Neiman Marcus.
And, like, a fashionable trendy but not too trendy plaid shirt and then, like, a square cut wool tie.
I look awesome.
He looks really great.
You know what I actually learned?
I'm wearing gaudy white face paint.
Do you know how when you get a tan and it makes your teeth look wider?
Mm-hmm.
Notice it happens.
With that, what was the first thing we were going to talk about?
All the show prep, just...
Because the first bit worked so good that I was like, man, that was funny.
And that's all I can think about right now.
I spent $85 on this costume altogether.
90s are expensive.
Another thing I learned, 90s are expensive.
And that I wear an extra, extra large in women's for 90s.
Perfect.
And 90s are hard to urinate around.
But I suppose that's not really their intended purpose.
Should we start doing advice?
Well, the first thing I wanted to talk about, just to lead off, is just to thank you that it's my brother, my brother and me today.
Happy Mbem-Bem Day, everybody.
Happy Mbem-Bem Day.
That...
I cannot stress to you, Goof Society.
Let's get genuine.
That was a real honor.
It was a really sweet thing.
What an honor. That was.
I felt very honored.
It was a really sweet thing.
And it was emotional.
Like, this is my hometown.
You know, I love Huntington.
But I noticed on the proclamation that it says that December the 21st, 2014 is Mbem-Bem Day.
It is not an annual occurrence.
And that's, you know, fine.
Most people don't even get the one day.
I do wish the mayor had told me in the morning.
Right.
That I got it today.
That's like a snow day when you sleep till 11.
And it's like, I missed half the snow day.
To be more accurate, it's like a snow day, but you just went to class for like seven hours.
It's like, I got four hours of my special day left.
And I'm going to spend it in clown makeup. Fantastic.
Oh, wait, hold on, hold on, hold on.
It's a huge honor.
Oh, my God.
Huge honor.
No, no question.
But what rights and privileges do you think we've earned from this?
For the next three hours you're earning?
Yeah, like free fruit at every vendor.
I don't know.
Like what do you think we gave?
Yeah, the fruit vendor.
You know, the fruit vendor.
A huge fruit vendor population.
I'm just saying, I wish the mayor had shook me awake at one in the morning.
I don't know why he would be there.
Wait, Gryffin.
Kisses on the ear.
Gryffin and Steve.
Gryffin, wake up.
And Steve, you're missing it.
I wish Steve had shook me away.
He's got a key to the city.
He can open any door.
That's a great point.
You look radical right now, Justin.
I'm saying, Justin has removed his fat Jesus beard, and now he's just got fat Jesus hair,
and he looks pretty awesome.
This is the fullest embrace I can do of Jimmy Buffett's style without actually going to
like his concerts.
I hope you guys enjoyed the Buffett Buffet and the waiting interim that Justin definitely
put together for you.
I slaved over that playlist and only had two James Buffett songs.
Can we answer some questions?
Okay, who here has never listened to My Brother, My Brother Me before?
Oh, God.
Wow.
So no one wondered off the streets of Huntington.
I heard one woo that started like...
So we have an advice show for the modern era, and now, like Chilean miners, we will emerge
from...
No.
Chilean miners aren't still hot.
Well, no.
You know what?
It's candle nights.
Do it again.
I'm going to lean into it.
Okay.
Like Chilean miners emerging from the ground.
It's been 38 minutes.
Can we answer a question?
Yeah.
Can we turn your questions out when we like it into wisdom?
It's what we do here on the show.
So let's take some of your questions.
Some of you may be in the audience.
So if you hear your question, start listening because we're going to answer it.
And we're not going to read it twice.
That's not what we do.
And if you don't hear your question, it was bad.
You did a bad job.
Maybe next candle night.
Maybe next year is a candle night's leap.
Candle night's 2015.
No candle night's next year, but 2016 you come back double hard.
Every four and a half years.
I have a close family...
This is the question.
It's not me.
I have a close family member who often indulges in the eggnog a bit too much during the candle
nights.
It could be me.
It's not, but it could be.
This often results in wackiness, followed by awkwardness, then sadness.
Like a clown.
Like a clown.
Travis, yes.
How do you deal with the awkward situation of someone drinking a bit too much during
the holidays?
Fun starter.
Super fun opener for our comedy holiday podcast.
Designated driver in dirty jersey.
Are you here?
Perfect.
No.
You know, when you think someone is drinking too much at a holiday party, what you really
have on your hands is a question of perspective, because you're not drinking enough.
Unless you are, as you literally just said 20 seconds ago, the designated driver.
That was for...
I figured that was just a little...
Any other episode would have put a swear word in there, but I didn't because it's candle
night.
You guys are missing the best part of this situation.
What's that?
So the hardest thing about candle nights is not knowing what to get someone, right?
Right?
I guess.
Yeah.
Also there's a lot of rituals that are hard to complete.
It's a made up fake holiday.
I guess that's the hardest part.
What do you get someone ever?
But what I'm saying is this provides you the opportunity to give the best present, which
is your silence.
Oh, like Uncle Greg, I'm keeping your secret.
Uncle Greg, this year?
Not going to tell anyone.
Go ahead, party dog.
Party on.
Can you get Uncle Greg an even better present, which is that you get drunker than Uncle
Greg.
Yes!
Uncle Greg, I am your wingman of drunk.
People are going to tell stories about me, Greg.
You let me find out.
I'm going to be the embarrassment.
This year, Uncle Greg, well, for every drink you drink, I'm going to drink one more drink.
So drink away, Uncle Greg.
I got your back, homie.
I mean, he's earned it.
You've earned it, Uncle Greg.
You worked so hard, 364 days out of the year, you worked your behind off, again, another
swear opportunity that I passed by, let it go.
I forget the rest of the stuff I was going to say.
Do you guys want to y'all here?
Yeah.
Lay off, Uncle Greg.
Please, for a second.
This yahoo.
If you don't listen to the show and you were just quiet because you're nervous, I get it.
We do yahoo answers questions.
They're all terrible.
This one was sent in by...
Let me turn up the brightness.
Oh, I have my glasses right here.
Now it looks like a spooky nerd.
This one, it adds some contrast.
This one is sent in by Leanna Callon, who asks, how big are elves?
My dad and I are arguing about this.
He says that they are all little people.
That's not what they said, yahoo, you need to learn some stuff about.
They are all little people, like the Kevlar elves.
Okay.
Ah, man.
Wait, is that a thing?
Yeah, it's elves that...
Like a SWAT team elf.
Yeah.
Go, go, go go, go!
Blast you!
Slice pie!
Slice the pie!
You would think the tree would stop the bullet and it wouldn't even get in anyway.
They have to protect the elf president.
Sure.
They are all little people, like the Kevlar elves.
And I say that some are human-sized, like Legolas.
He doesn't believe me.
Okay.
This person is proposing, because they say some are legless size, which would mean that
some...
They're a different phylum of elves.
Right.
But there are elves that are both Kevlar elves.
Kevlar.
Kevlar elves.
Oh, maybe it's a copyright problem.
Kevlar elves.
You all know what I mean.
Wink.
You get it.
On the deep web.
The pointy ones.
But the idea that there are some that are legless size and some that are Kevlar size...
Legless was not...
Have you seen the movies?
He's not this tall.
He was like wicked tall.
He was like super big.
He's a really big dude.
Which is funny, because Orlando Bloom is big.
Yeah.
He's knee-high to a frog.
Do you think that maybe they're interspersed at the North Pole?
You roll up and like every fifth one is Kevlar size.
And the rest is just all Orlando Blooms as far as the eye can see.
That would make...
That would be a much different sheen on the children's movies when kids get whisked away
magically to the North Pole, to the Santa's factory.
Can you imagine opening the door?
It's just 28.
Just a 28-year-old dude.
Sup.
Hey.
Hey.
How's it going?
You want me to make a toy or what?
What do you need?
You just want to hang?
You just want to hang?
I've got a block of wood and a hammer.
That's about the best I can do.
There's two tools I have.
Can I make some with that?
Maybe they're partners and you need the Kevlar elves to do the little detail work.
The two Hickeys.
Okay.
And then the Legolas just do the body work.
Yeah.
They do the big parts.
They build the case.
And everyone, like every elf is assigned his buddy elf.
Oh my God.
And if one dies, the other one has to kill themselves.
Exactly.
It's a life bond between a big elf and a...
Another north bowl.
I just...
Also, I need you to sign this.
This death...
Don't pay attention to the fine print.
We've had some staffing issues lately.
The Kevlar elves lifespan is 15 years and the Legolas is 85.
What I'm saying is, I guess, live it up.
I'm Santa?
How many HR issues do you have?
That's like leaves.
Christmas Eve is the one night a year.
Santa just can't take it anymore.
What is this factory I've set up?
What have I done with my life?
I get so many blooms wasted.
I get attached to elves that die after 15 years.
I kill beautiful 28-year-old men.
I've killed so many Legolas.
What am I...
I gotta get out of the house.
It's Christmas Eve.
I gotta get out of the house.
The cookies will make me forget about the terrible system I've created.
Elizabeth Town was such a bad movie for him to go out on.
That movie was garbage.
How many HR violations do you think you'd run into at an all-Orlando bloom work facility?
I would discover that magic, Kingdom.
I would just run through just pinching cheeks.
Like their cheeks?
But then I'd hit a Kevlar elf and I'd be like snap and I'd break his neck.
No!
And then you'd have to kill the bloom!
For balance.
And that's Elf on the Shelf 2.
And that's the plot of Elf on the Shelf 2.
God, Justin, I just realized you're not wearing an undershirt either.
You've got a lot of looks going on.
Travis, you look great too, but...
No.
Do you want to read another question?
First-ended family holiday gatherings are the usual affair.
Brr, Christmas.
After stuffing ourselves on masses of food, our sweet Nana has forced an extensive carol sing into a tradition.
Needless to say, everyone hates it.
But even worse...
Hang in there.
Even worse is the fact that she just sits there refusing to sing...
While silently judging our worth as her progeny...
Based on how into the third verse of Good King Winslow's We Are...
How do we get out of this without poisoning the mashed potatoes?
It's a dark turn at the end.
Musically morose in Ontario, Canada.
Okay, I didn't realize that was a method of murder.
I thought that was like a fun idiom.
Oh, I really poisoned the mashed potatoes this time, huh?
You thought the Canadians just had completely different idioms from us?
Man, I'm sorry, you guys. I tried to get it done on time, but I really paid my grandma on that one.
I'm just imagining this like Emperor Palpatine-esque figure just like sitting on a throne.
Just like, yeah.
Excellent.
Yes, this pleases me.
My puppets of flesh really hit the high seas.
Skyler, sing to Nana.
My angels of music.
Angel of sing for me.
What is this character?
It's the Nana.
I thought that was clear from context.
I just wanted to hear you say it.
It's the Nana.
I want you to own it.
Oh, God.
I'm just going to pretend that this isn't an actual thing that happens in the world
because she's so uncomfortable thinking about it.
Is it possible?
Wait, maybe Nana doesn't tell you where she is in the room and it's like Elf on the shelf.
You have to find your Nana and she's spying on you somewhere watching you sing and you don't know where.
She's in the cabinet like the Baba Duke.
Is your grandma a Baba Duke? We didn't even consider the possibility.
Mama Duke.
No, I got another one.
Is it possible that your Nana knows how much you all hate it but you all piss her off so much?
She's like, I'm old. Sing the song again.
Almost.
Almost. He stopped it.
He stopped. That was good.
But you have to play it out like a different word.
That's the game.
You didgeridoo.
That's good. That's pretty good.
So hard. We should set up a swear jar where if we swear, we have to put $50,000 into like a savings account.
And then the first one of us that dies gets it? No, hold on.
For every one of us that dies, you put another $50,000 in.
Dad, you don't use money.
Do you guys want a yahoo?
Please.
Do you want a yahoo?
Okay.
Seamless, seamless transition.
This yahoo was asked by, oh, it was sent in by Ira Ray.
Sorry, what was the name?
Jesus. It's our first time.
No, Fat Jesus.
Fat Jesus.
It was sent in by Ira Ray.
Are you Ira Ray?
Absolutely.
Delicious.
Pretend I'm your Nana. Sing for me.
Sing for me, my puppets.
Does anybody know the Wi-Fi information for City Hall?
The password is GovRocks.
I just typed I'm the mayor on a notepad and I hope that it's my day.
How about that? Work for me now, Wi-Fi.
It's my BimBam day.
I can't tell you who asked it because I don't have internet access.
It's asked by...
Name anyone.
I'm panicking. I can't think of a single name right now.
Steve Williams.
No, that's the mayor.
Oh, man. I can't show my teeth.
Griffin, do you need my iPhone cable?
No, it's fine. I'm just not going to know who asked it.
It's an eternal mystery. We'll call them.
We'll edit it in.
Okay, everybody be super quiet because we're going to leave some silence here.
If we can edit it in the name, I'll dub it over.
We're not going to do this forever, Yahoo.
Paging Mr. Herb.
This mystery Yahoo user asked,
Grandma got run over by a reindeer? Seriously?
By the way, my super smooth transition went right in the toilet.
Do you think this song is disrespectful to grandmothers?
Or just a nonsensical song simply meant to make people laugh?
Why do you think the author chose grandma instead of grandpa?
Or any other person?
Would you play or sing this song in your grandma's company?
In case you've never heard all the lyrics because everyone's always laughing.
Are they, though?
Throughout the entire duration of the number.
Grandma got hit.
I can't hear it.
Pipe down.
Who got hit? Is she okay?
I need to know the backstory to enjoy the song.
Show of applause, who unironically has ever laughed at grandma got run over by a reindeer?
Exactly.
That was even an ironic clap.
I don't want to leave him hanging.
Sure.
I think my favorite part of this question is the idea of it being disrespectful to the Nana.
And then the idea of it comes on the radio or your playlist.
Oh, God.
She's watching.
I knew it.
You're out of the wheel.
I'm sorry.
It's too late.
I don't know why I have my hands like nose ferrata there.
Our Nani is not a nose ferrata.
Our Nani is a lovely woman.
Is our Nani here?
Nani, are you here?
It's our Nani.
It's our Nani. She's right there.
Nani, you cool with this jam?
Raise your hand if grandma got run over by a reindeer, offends you on a spiritual level.
No, she's cool.
They can't say no.
By the way, friends, hi, it's Justin McRoy.
I'm a third of the podcast of my brother, my brother and me.
If you ever want to really amp up the difficulty of your life,
record a podcast for four years where you talk about basically the most horrible things you can imagine.
That you can't imagine.
I think it comes to us from another realm.
Then do a Christmas show in your hometown full of people.
Then drink not an unconsiderable amount of whiskey backstage.
Then put your Nani in the second row.
Best of luck.
No pressure.
No pressure?
Does the grandma die and grandma get run over by a reindeer?
Is anyone familiar?
Grandma died on the reindeer, and then went through extensive physical therapy.
Every bone from this point down was shattered.
Does anybody know the song Better Than Me?
Then she learned a newly sung live, and chose to leave her family.
She got another fitness membership, and she looks great because she put in the work.
She's really doing it, and I must say, it looks terrific.
looks awesome but we miss her we miss her she doesn't come around now she's
always at LA Fitness I saw you know they work they turn this into a cartoon I
watched because I watched a lot of cartoons now new baby and this is you're
showing your new baby a cartoon based on grandma got run over by a reindeer it was
just she know about death yes this is how you're introducing the concept of
die we already said but she doesn't die but in this one Santa finds her and
she has amnesia and he takes her back to the North Pole and she becomes Mrs.
Claus. What? Take that grandpa. Burn. What the hell? Santa stole your girl. Santa stole your
girl grandpa that's your back old man Santa's clumping up on you part of this
job is to gotta treat her right listen that jingle bell behind you always
nipping at your ear grandpa big fat man coming up with a ball full of jelly
gonna steal your girl it's me look up the chimney I got your woman I made my
reindeer's run over I take your girl she's mine now you never love her I love
her you don't know how to treat a woman I'm Santa I saw grandma kissing Santa
Claus and then leaving with him and never saw her again we have literally
just described a big part of this job is she not like me she's gonna come
a lot more than once a year you know what's up
look up your chimney I got your girl it's me Santa I'm done a big part of this
job ho ho ho is to come up with like allegories and illusions that's basically
the subtitle of the show this is not one of them that is literally and exactly
the plot of misery I was gonna say overboard no it's misery it's a misery
for sure y'all that is literally a lot of misery was we just did yeah let's get
a general question ever we're gonna dip in to well we're gonna have to fix the
mic because our dad broke it with his goose was it worth it dad I think it
was but we are gonna have some questions from the audience just a few
because you guys are very far away from us and we maybe didn't think about that
beforehand so start thinking about not a bummer holiday theme holiday theme without
swearing I swear to God that's okay we can take the Lord okay that if anyone
breaks our streak up if we get a Baba Booey up here I will lose my mind because
we've traveled back in time Baba Booey is still a super hot cultural reference
Justin bring me a hot cue off that list we're on the third one a hem a hem
whiskey sketch them but Papa for the past five years a friend and I we
exchanged no nope not funny goofed on it I meant the real third one with the
star next to it that we use that was our clever code to say these are good
questions did you see the star and you're like wonder what that means this
face paint is so hot it's like I have 15 extra layers of skin on my face what
you don't know is it's lead based oh great read the question Justin right
last Christmas I come from a multi-faith family so we celebrate Christmas and
Hanukkah there's a name for that it's Christmaca what is the best way to fit
candle nights in our already packed holiday schedule that's from dreidel's
and Donner and Dallas I think that candle nights solves I mean candle night
solves a lot of problems just like worldwide but eventually it will eat
both Christmas and Hanukkah for nourishment and we'll keep growing and
pretty soon it's gonna be the only game in town and if you think he's being
figurative then you do you don't understand candle the physiology of candle
night the old one that is candle night the elder god that is that we have to
feed lesser holidays to that's why we appease him to last another millennia
that is why Mayor Steve Williams came up with my brother my brother in me day it
was not to honor us it was to keep him a dark unnamed far far below the mantle
of the earth another quick candle night snow as you know candle nights is a pan
religious pan sexual personal pan holiday that we made up for ourselves so
everybody could have a party together we know we have a lot of Christmas
imagery on stage that is not no tiny 10 was Jewish fair enough fine that's not
for lack of trying Griffin and I scoured every store in the tri-state area that
was we went to one that was also the target we went to our target we went to
the target at Mary Creek and I tell you it's ironically for God's chosen people
you don't have a lot of selection there I didn't see a single
menorah or any sort of Hanukkah decoration I should have grabbed it
while I was in Cincinnati we were out of CVS and saw a kid this story is about
the time you saw a menorah I'm going to lose it no we saw
can you believe it no um where to make it all what no we saw a kid for a Hanukkah house
which is a gingerbread house can they not accept the icing is blue and white terrific
nice try gingerbread house empire wait uh what was the question how do I make room for candle
nights well you come to show first star for you here well what is going on bad start not a great
start to your listeners at home we promise there are people here some people are here you're not
having a hallucination where you see other people great stuff was it this is not bad you know we're

everybody is a joke from that movie what was it happy truman show happy truman show to you and
all your kin how about i read another question let me go to i well i have something to say really
quick um i have an apology uh to make usually at this point in the show i would do a sad lamb
but but don't encourage him there's nothing funny about it whatsoever we have sustained
the elder gods to a point where we can manifest our own will in the material plane so because
of that power we have eradicated it from existence you're welcome everybody but i want to apologize
because in the holiday hustle and bustle i ran out of time we'll edit this out right
yeah yes sure okay and i apologize because i did not write one
uh really yeah i just wanted to let you know um now we may move on you know that we had like a
super long time to prep stuff uh and you could have done it during the time where we were upstairs
eating subway you could have like sat down done a tweet how much time goes into creating a sad
lib like four minutes four minutes i saw it yeah yeah i've seen it before i did not have
that one's unplugged so i don't know what's going on that one's inflated wait hold on and that one's
right in a sweet jet ski god if you're not here guys you're just not going to get a lot of this
stuff that's going on travis what are you doing it looks like there's something in the stocking
it looks like there's something in the stocking you say oh thank you you're doing the lord's work
out there wait it says here that you guys helped with this a little bit we did married
mary candle knights uh fun game for the audience listen and see if you can pick out what's words
justin and i submitted to this horrible horrible bit that has never worked 231 episodes go for travis
it was the shunt before candle knights went all through the gulp not a corn maze was spelunking
not even a bum the dumpos were hung by the commode with nougat and the hopes that corn cob boy soon
would be travis you're gonna have to slow slow down for laughter okay so you got a pause for a
pause baby the dirigibles were nestled all snug in their butt kiss i get it while visions of quasi
moto dance in their butts that was a good one and maman her buttress and i in my front butt
are you guys eight had just settled had just settled our belch for a long winter squeegee
went out on the flugelhorn there arose such a jack and ape i sprang from my jello to see
what was the matter a way to the embryo i flew like a skeet to robin the chattanoogan
and threw open the mcloxer when what's my wondering razzle dazzle did appear
but a miniature griffin and eight tiny jortsman with a little old long one huh with a little old
wormy so lively and quick i knew in a moment he must be st moist stop and now zebra now humdrum
now astral on chrysanthemum on reiterate on capitulate how much should we charge for tickets
do you remember too much he was dressed all in pumpernickel from his head to his foot
and his pianist were all tarnished with asses ashes and soot his forts how they twinkled oh my god
his teflon how mary his cheeks were like constantan oboe his nose like a scrum dintaly anxious
he was chubby and plump a right jolly old smackdown and i puked when i saw him in spite of myself
and i and laying his mottie is it the whole thing and laying his mottie molly coddle aside of his
front butt from but twice good word job word smiths and giving in i'm so sorry up the dead
travis heroes but i heard him exclaim erie drove out of sight mary candlelight's to all
and to all a good worst thing that happens in the podcast
thank you all thank you all for sitting through the last sad libs ever and now it's canonical
uh how long have you been going like three years a lot of people do the this isn't funny but we're
doing it anyway but not a lot of people have the strength of will to commit to really not making
it funny we're not it's not a goof it's really not in any way entertaining griffin and i are joking
for the poetry yeah you yeah uh maybe if we do a few more honeyton live shows they'll name you
like poet laureate of honeyton west virginia uh i got a yadru for everybody if you're into that
this yadru mystery night was sent in by jude ovenport thank you level eight thousand yadru
shaman jude ovenport it's asked by yahoo answers i forgot i can't see that data because i am not
connected to the website kreg as my yadru answers he's a kreg Ferguson no it's just kreg
question mark kreg kreg kreg asked if you gave people your greatest gift what would that be i just
didn't know you better help you didn't it's all i've got my best gift then in that in that context
would be a sharp editor's eye a keen eye on the the old audacity track uh god my greatest gift
that's my greatest gift i would probably make him french toast i'm pretty baller at that
you ain't got eyes french toast i would say probably tender kisses anything special about
them or just like that's all over my greatest gift would be for me to film travis giving you the
kisses because you want to you want to remember it goes by so quickly i mean it takes 14 minutes
but it seems like i would upload them into our movie i would use that one that looks like a map
opening up and i would put some music underneath it something real nice some five for fighting
some superman by five for five that's what you need to kiss them for three minutes and five seconds
which is the runtime of superman by five for fighting and i'll tell you all someday why i know that
information well it's gonna work because when i kiss people um i do it like one might apply um
uh glue stick and i to their own body who does that i push on and then maintain the same pressure
and then just you maintain contact around like a slug it feels like a slug it's slug like that
clean your fish thing for you right remora remora i believe is what those are called
you're a doctor fish is what you're saying did you just point to your wife like
tell them about the great kisses i give you take a minute you want to come on stage and talk
about my precious kisses five out of five would kiss again yeah okay well can i um can i get
sidebar real quick super quick sidebar sure uh i know the bit that we talked about was that we
wouldn't see scanna santa when he came out to put the thing in the boot oh okay in the
come on a little bit listen listen i accidentally looked to the left because i was like where is he
and because i had thought he wasn't out yet and i saw him and it scared the hell out of me
i you may have noticed a moment where i seemed suddenly terrified for an instant imagine you're
just like doing your podcast here and then you adjust like pan left and there's a santa who's
just been there the whole time it was really really scary can i ask you a question i'm still
trying to get over it can i ask you a question hit me have you seen sydney since we started
no she's been spirited away to the north pole you've lost her forever
he stole my girl he can treat her better than you can it's just the truth
well he's got all the Orlando bloom she's gonna be swimming in blooms that is tough
uh we want to do another question what should we take question from the let's do a few more
because we got a bunch of oh okay well let's say this we're gonna do one more prepped question
and then we're gonna do an audience question so have one ready and be ready to hustle because
you've got to make it you literally need to run don't no don't like stamp don't rush up here just
raise a hand and we'll point in a direction but seriously you better come correct oh
i'd be scared he's making a list and he's stealing your wife

how many cookies are too much that's from countless cookies in california
oh god too many cookies what a four right
cultural references topical humor he's got it all four cookie the answer is four cookies
four per person check your halloween's check your betty crocker as the formula that's gonna eat
four what if you only want two um then somebody else has to eat six i guess i'm not a scientist
it's a one cookie and one cookie out policy the uh the dessert i made two desserts before
the boys came in i made uh chocolate uh uh peppermint popcorn with sydney and i did
after trelly went to bed and we also made funny at any point are you just sort of bragging about
your i thought we were done with the funny parts uh did a cornflake wreath uh and i was curious

in their area is that a regional thing or is it just a west Virginia thing you just applaud you
can't ask like a broad you have to do yes or no applaud yeah did you what area are you from i kind
i kind of made them okay we'll go state by state Alaska i ate her no upper montana upper montana
i ate a regular wreath once i was high i don't know this character is bad mr bad collapse he's
weird ghost drunk he's drunk ghost baby i don't know hands together i don't know uh a lot of this
is going to be contingent on your bank of cookie points a lot of people don't save those up for
the holidays but you got to because it's it's like the best time to trade them in a lot of people
what's up griffin smacked a cookie out of my hand in my own home because i was actually watching him
eat chocolate peppermint popcorn go like trying to do the cookie math in my head like that was a big
chocolate chunk so i'm gonna say maybe 14 cookie points for that it was hard it was very flying

anybody has anybody ever gotten so frustrated with the like the pressure the this i'm sorry i didn't

about one thing one thing only and that is freedom do you know ben real talk if i may ignore everyone

makes you happy and that you enjoy and for whatever reason there are people in your life that look at
something that you to take unashamed happiness in and they don't feel that and so they mock it

his back pocket the other day he's too far gone we'll never get him back i'm going to shift to the
other side of i also think it's possible to begin to love something too much oh that becomes like
your defining feature are you moped dude you're not wearing moped a tire i don't think you do
have a hole in your jeans is that from a wicked accident they just spin out on 60 going 15 every
time anything gets brought up you somehow compare it to mopeds and you're like oh yeah who wants to
go out to dinner speaking of going out have you guys ever gone out on a moped i think moped
mopeds are rad i think they are fuel efficient what do you get what do you get with your ride
i've never i've never and i actually don't have a moped i have a scooter there's a difference

tell you oh christ it's right there right there right there okay no you ma'am yes yes yes come on up
sorry a lot of false flags there sorry everybody fill the silence fill it i've been doing shows in
this theater since i was 10 years old you know my first one was huck finn i couldn't remember i was
hoping she'd be up okay cool good segue hi what's your name my name is jamie hi jamie hi welcome to
the podcast thank you um i have a question about christmas eve okay sorry i'm out of breath don't
recognize it as an unholy day but go ahead i do like the preface i think that's night 16 of candle
nights is yeah so i have a question about the 16th of candle nights yeah where do you find all the
sheep let her ask her question sorry go ahead with your question so i'm jewish and my fiance is christian
and so uh his family we live far away from his family so sometimes for the 16th the sheep night of
candle night right yeah she miss if you say the sheep night well right okay so sometimes for the
sheep night we would uh go visit his family but this year we're not so we're just by ourselves
him a sort of christmas person and me not a christmas person i have a great documentary you could watch
that night if a kid dies i'm sorry if you haven't seen it a kid dies it sucks go on
so we don't really have any big plans for the holiday um we're gonna do presents on the 17th
okay um oh okay i forgot the bit we were doing yeah
so we're gonna it's christmas day we're gonna do some christmasy stuff we don't have plans for
christmas eve and another non-jewish friend of mine invited us to uh no a jewish friend of mine
non christian i'm gonna take notes okay griffin your notes are the scribblings of a crazy person
they're all adventure zone notes it's like it's like train robbery goblins sure why not
please finish your question we are the rudest human beings on the planet but it is my bin bam day so
what's up so we don't have christmas eve plans we were invited to like a sort of christmas orphan
non like for the jews and muslims for sure um the question is so he's got like a nostalgic
attachment to christmas eve but we don't have christmas eve family plans you don't have the
trappings exactly okay so should we go to this non christmasy party for folks who aren't visiting
their family or should we spend christmas eve just the two of us and our cats how many how many cats
two are they cool oh two yeah i know they're super cool okay well that's a horse of different color
which is ironic because that was the line that jesson said is lord growly oh my god you're right
wizard of oz anyway to answer the question that the person directly in front of us just asked
oof um man that's gonna be hard because your your your boyfriend is gonna roll up like
time to knit a stocking for everyone because that's what i've done my whole time on this planet
is your boyfriend here yeah he's over there so hey okay uh here's what you guys have got
and it's it's it's a really great opportunity to now just do whatever you want and then let it
shake out what becomes a new tradition right you can really like wheat and chaff this and say like
we're gonna do these 10 things i liked four of them we'll keep those four and the other six we
don't have to deal with that that's the problem how many traditions do you think have been started
about people doing something once and they hated it but no one wanted to admit it to anybody else
they've been doing it for 10 years and then the next year they're like we need to sing in front of
nana again right we got to sing in front of nana i guess are we gonna have time for our annual
dear zachary going they're not gonna sing in front of me again oh god they're so bad so bad i
don't even want to sing with them uh yeah i mean you guys can make your own traditions now and
that's a very special process but i totally get one that was my i'm not to disagree that's my
noise i'm about to disagree i think it's better to be with a bunch of people to be fun oh yeah
yeah no i'm not saying to be alone i'm saying make the traditions with other people boyfriend
your official title here's the thing you craig craig you can enforce your traditions
because wow you're really putting craig on blast right now i love you but if you want to
quit due to the service listen here you jerk word and that's the best i could do in all honestly
like if you try to recreate those traditions like you can do them but you can't expect the same
results as it was when you were with your family i don't know i don't know what went Travis transition
like guy at 2 a.m and you're both really drunk and he's like no no you listen to me sit down
it's my turn lean back in the b-back it's mbm bm all i'm saying is that all i'm saying is that it's
it's the expectation game of you can roll up and do your tradition and relive that experience
but it's with a new set of people and new variables and it will be different and inherently
the tradition will alter because you have new people is the tradition could there be a tradition
that you're maintaining that's something awesome already like oh my whole life on Christmas eve
i get turnt i get turnt let's go to a party and it's like what do you do craig what's his name
can you just tanner tanner i'm gonna sing with craig that's better um what do you do what do you
do craig is like oh i get oh i get totally totally turnt and they're like yeah sure and then you
all do it together and that's how traditions get born this year for Thanksgiving i went and hung out
we went i just crushed it with the this is how traditions are born no it's great we went to an
orphan's Thanksgiving thing and uh my new friend where is everybody find all these orphans my new
friend we sam came downstairs and he goes so uh before dinner do you guys want to shoot bow and
arrow and the answer is yes always so we went in the back of their apartment complex well not
there and shot a bow and arrow into a cardboard box that's because we're adults yeah that's sweet
two stuff like that you'll be fine yeah okay thank you i believe in you thank you thanks joey
we think every year my family gets together to decorate the tree we all eat cookies and stuff
it's great there's just one problem you know what i'm gonna read a question
there's just one problem i hate decorating the tree i'm bad at it
but my parents insist i help this year i tried to hang out in the same room reading a book while
they're decorated hiding from christmas they they were not having it and forced me to help
am i a bad person for not enjoying this part of christmas yes am i required to help
that's from decorating dingus in minnesota can i uh sorry just to break the flow of the show can
we turn the house lights off because i could see everyone and it's giving me the yips
give me a turn off those lights please please sweet jesus people disappear make them disappear
there they go there they go it's just us again goodbye we're back in the bubble how how how is anyone
bad at decorating a christmas tree it's literally are you putting everything decoration up and it's
six inches away from the tree and they're just dropping on the ground they're putting everything
on one branch it's like a beautiful christmas horn steve you just put them in your beard again
oh steve you ate the popcorn garland and then you just kept eating ornaments right off the tree
