                                        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 mention only so the babies out there will know how
                                         
                                        cool they are for listening.

                                        If you've got no place to go when you're feeling down.
                                         
    
                                        If you're all alone, when a pretty person comes on me.

                                        So I'm sort of like that spark if she's the one she'll know it sound my sparks make to

                                        You have gots to practice that warm spot

                                        You're probably working with something positively reptilian
                                         
                                        You can't pull it off try doffing your cap and saying ma'am

                                        Without a fun accent. I fucking hate those dudes
                                         
                                        Hello
                                         
                                        I'm see a shag
                                         
                                        Vacation
                                         
                                        You're gone
                                         
                                        If you're if you're what I do not believe that there's a good way
                                         
                                        To to pick up someone as you're walking in an opposite direction from them if you're if you hang a u-turn and just follow them
                                         
    
                                        Yeah, exactly give them the give them a flat tire step on their heel and make their shoe come off
                                         
                                        Awkward
                                         
                                        Three feet behind them and say things like where you headed? Where are you going? We had it. We had I'm right here
                                         
                                        I'll just be with you for a while. I'm with the FBI
                                         
                                        So I feel like we've helped him enough
                                         
                                        Is it ever acceptable to go to a bar alone?
                                         
                                        I don't have a lot of friend who are over 21 and I really can't have them over at my apartment for parties
                                         
                                        This is the guy from last week who just wanted to go to bars and he lost those friends
                                         
    
                                        Now he wants to know if he can go to bar by himself. No, I would say that that
                                         
                                        it
                                         
                                        It is a unless you are again
                                         
                                        Just really overwhelmingly physically attractive and can almost be guaranteed to go home with a
                                         
                                        sexual partner that evening
                                         
                                        Or at least I can get a phone number or something or make a new friend. Yeah, I would say it's there
                                         
                                        To go to a bar then
                                         
                                        Yeah, here's the thing like I thought about this question a lot and the answer is yes
                                         
    
                                        It is acceptable to go to a bar alone
                                         
                                        It depends on what kind of bar you're going to you're going to like a sports bar and like, you know
                                         
                                        You're gonna be hanging out with a bunch of you know people that you can like have discussions with about what's going on in the game
                                         
                                        Or whatever and like form new friendships and talk to people
                                         
                                        Yeah, it's a great place to meet new people and make friends if you're going to like a bar to sit in a
                                         
                                        Table in the corner by yourself and drink like 20 beers. No, that's that's not okay
                                         
                                        I actually I went to a bar alone last night. I
                                         
                                        Just because I didn't really do much of anything this week as far as like leaving the house
                                         
    
                                        So and I work from home. So sometimes I have to make myself go out even if I you know
                                         
                                        I don't think I've ever met anyone at a bar really
                                         
                                        But but you know, it's nice to just get out of the house and be surrounded by other people and you know
                                         
                                        Have a drink and watch the the wrap-up of the day's baseball contests
                                         
                                        The good the good thing about going to a bar alone is that you can you can really feel free
                                         
                                        Especially if you're like looking to mix up your situation
                                         
                                        IE meeting new people trying new things whatever. There's no if you don't go to anybody, you know
                                         
                                        There's no real expectation to quote-unquote be yourself
                                         
    
                                        Yeah, you can sort of try different things and be whatever kind of person you want to and and no one's gonna call you out
                                         
                                        I'm a foppish British
                                         
                                        affection
                                         
                                        Well, you could be you know, I in my circle of friends
                                         
                                        I'm that guy who knows nothing about sports
                                         
                                        But like I could go to a sports bar and be that guy who's really into football and no one around me is gonna go
                                         
                                        You don't know anything about football
                                         
                                        Right, just don't but when you you start shouting
                                         
    
                                        Asking when the Orioles are playing they're probably you're probably gonna get some not so good
                                         
                                        I think the best thing to do if you're going to a bar by yourself is to think of it as like becoming a regular in a bar
                                         
                                        There's a bar in Huntington called Hanks, which is a great place to do that like the same 20 people are there every day
                                         
                                        And it's a place where you know the few times I've gone there
                                         
                                        I know the people there now. So a bar like that great
                                         
                                        Don't go to like a club by yourself because then you're creepy, but you know go into like a hangout
                                         
                                        No, I think it's okay to go to a club
                                         
                                        Especially if it's like a dance zone you think like you want to be able to like get out there and just shake it like you
                                         
    
                                        Want to be able to with every song that comes on no matter how bad it is be able to throw your hands up with Wilder band and say
                                         
                                        That's my jam. You're saying like go to a bar alone leave the bar alone
                                         
                                        Say and feel the rain on your skin and just for once just get out there, you know
                                         
                                        This is where your book begins
                                         
                                        This is still unwritten. In fact, if you're wondering about your book and where to kick it off

                                        He goes on to explain the thong song was the biggest single since Billy Jean Michael Jackson. Do you think that Justin can top that?
                                         
                                        So he's coming from the Cisco side like he's defending Cisco here
                                         
                                        He has got that full-on Cisco heat and this goes the greatest artist that has lived since Michael Jackson
                                         
    
                                        I'm pretty sure he had the number one single one of his friends at Bieber's the greatest musical artist of our generation
                                         
                                        He said excuse me
                                         
                                        What about Cisco and he was laughed down and he turned to his only friend the internet to prove him right?
                                         
                                        Good old Yahoo answers is always there for you that Cisco knowledge. So where do you guys stand?
                                         
                                        What are you so be absurd be absurd Cisco Bieber has
                                         
                                        Has so much to go through in his life. See that Cisco has already gone through
                                         
                                        So you're saying Cisco's got the experience or do you say that Bieber can can still has so much in front of him that he can be shaped and
                                         
                                        Formed by his experiences so to a sum that is greater than Cisco
                                         
    
                                        I think what needs to happen is a musical apprenticeship of Justin Bieber to Cisco
                                         
                                        Oh my god a reform drew hill with Cisco
                                         
                                        Justin Bieber Ellen DeGeneres from Hansen the little the kid from Hansen the littlest one the baby the one that's like three or four

                                        They would never collaborate on a single musical project they would only do
                                         
                                        Versions of their own
                                         
                                        Composite songs like they would sing thong song they would sing
                                         
    
                                        Baby, which is let's say the other cities would be tantamount to listening to it now. That's what I call music
                                         
                                        1994 like that's that's the experience. How many of those did you guys own?
                                         
                                        Be honest zero

                                        What yeah, I own three of them the first one was an ironic present from Justin men's group
                                         
                                        But how many times did you listen to that? I know a lot of times a lot of times?
                                         
                                        There's a really good fastball cut on that one
                                         
                                        Was it um was it perchance the way
                                         
    
                                        Hey
                                         
                                        Hey, ma bambam I recently started dating this guy and he's really awesome and everything
                                         
                                        But I don't think he changes his sheets often. How can I encourage him to tidy things up a bit? Oh?
                                         
                                        This is a great question because this is one of those weird like I find that a lot of people have made that jump from adulthood
                                         
                                        For or from childhood to adulthood and not picked up on the fact that you got to change your sheets
                                         
                                        I had no idea how I was had no clue. Can it I'm not gonna say how often I change my sheets, but how often is regular
                                         
                                        You're supposed to do it twice a month twice a month
                                         
                                        Realistically people are doing it once a month. Let's be honest. What if you don't sleep on your sheets?
                                         
    
                                        What if you sleep on top of a comforter then you're some kind of caveman you're a caveman
                                         
                                        You're sleeping. I don't want to bother with changing your sheets
                                         
                                        You sleep on top of a comforter and then use a quilt hanging upside down in your closet
                                         
                                        Do I have to change my comforter if that's if it is it whatever layer you sleep on top of because that's whatever you put your dirty skin on you
                                         
                                        This is why you have bed bugs. This is why America has bed bugs
                                         
                                        That's just come from your body, but you don't get your body isn't dirty and then bed bugs come out of it
                                         
                                        Bed bugs live in your eyes. Everybody knows that. Okay, don't joke around about that cuz they don't have
                                         
                                        Justin once convinced me that there were tiny spiders that lived in my eyes
                                         
    
                                        And that's what made like the sleep crust when you wake up. Oh
                                         
                                        my eyes
                                         
                                        Awesome, and you love spiders, too. It's the best thing
                                         
                                        the okay, so
                                         
                                        Does it here's here's the way to do it, okay?
                                         
                                        You got to just change those sheets. I'm sorry. I you've got to change your sheets
                                         
                                        But it's not her choice. It's her it's her boyfriend. Think about what a nice thing that'll seem like
                                         
                                        Hey, I just noticed your sheets were looking a little ratty
                                         
    
                                        Like maybe it had been a few weeks since you changed them and then he'll it'll head his head. He'll think oh
                                         
                                        Shit, it's been a few months and he'll be thankful to you for not rubbing it in his face
                                         
                                        But like pretty much every other option you have is gonna be super passive-aggressive
                                         
                                        What you're gonna have to think about is maybe he doesn't have another set of sheets does he buy him new
                                         
                                        She buy him new sheets be like hey
                                         
                                        I was at Walmart and I thought these sheets really matched your curtains or something and here you go and then give him the option
                                         
                                        Hey, I got it. I got a suggestion for you form spring. How about you just started dating this guy and you're already
                                         
                                        Intimately familiar with his sheets. Maybe you need to figure out what you can get right with Jesus think about that
                                         
    
                                        Think about it
                                         
                                        Nobody's gonna milk the cow if they buy it at the store for free
                                         
                                        Think about it. It's what my Grammy always says what granny said to me at least she was she was really bad at idioms
                                         
                                        They used to they used to call it the idiom dummy, which to me was a missed opportunity, but
                                         
                                        Um, somebody laughed at that out there. Trust me. Oh, I'm a situation that is oh
                                         
                                        That has been long been debated amongst my friends. Is it wrong to take Nick?
                                         
                                        Can we skip?
                                         
                                        Go wrong. Okay. Is it wrong to take a naked jacuzzi with your dad and other men in a men's locker room after a hard workout?
                                         
    
                                        No one no one checks it there. It's there. There's an okay before you start leaping to conclusions
                                         
                                        No one checks anyone out
                                         
                                        But it seems silly to me to dirty a new swimsuit after working out
                                         
                                        Especially since it's a five minute jacuzzi before a sauna
                                         
                                        I mean
                                         
                                        Even if I wore a swimsuit
                                         
                                        You are naked under it anyway. No, no, no. Okay. Let me be devil's advocate. Let me be devil's advocate for jeff real quick
                                         
                                        um
                                         
    
                                        If you
                                         
                                        Do not wear a swimsuit you get a jacuzzi naked with your dad and other friends
                                         
                                        The the components of that stew that you're you're you're broiling there is dicks and water
                                         
                                        Okay, can we agree? That is a dick a hot dick and water stew that you are brewing up
                                         
                                        Um, if you wear a swimming trunks
                                         
                                        Then the components to that stew are swimming trunks
                                         
                                        Water and dicks still so if no one's checking anyone out
                                         
                                        You're just adding some some cloth and some mesh
                                         
    
                                        To to the dick jambalaya that you're you're creating there
                                         
                                        Okay, but let me counterpoint that by saying that same logic can be applied to any situation in which clothes are worn
                                         
                                        You know, like if we're naked under our clothes anyways, why don't we all just go to school naked?
                                         
                                        Yeah, that's not a good that's not a good excuse
                                         
                                        But but it's different because he we wear clothes in normal life so that nobody can can see our dicks
                                         
                                        When you're in a jacuzzi, it's not about the site. It's about the it's about the it's about no, it's about the it's about the water
                                         
                                        Convection, right? It's all about convection science
                                         
                                        Explain to me this jeff now. I'm I'm not you jeff. I've not lived a walked mile in your shoes
                                         
    
                                        Uh, but maybe you can explain this to me if I'm walking
                                         
                                        Through my gymnasium and I'm walking to the sauna and along the path to said sauna
                                         
                                        I see my dad and a bunch of old men
                                         
                                        Naked in a tub and my dad's like hey jeff. Do you want to get in this tub with all of us?
                                         
                                        We're naked and our balls are out and everything
                                         
                                        Do you want to do you want to get into this tub?
                                         
                                        Jeff our balls and everything
                                         
                                        Don't even kid yourself everything's out jeff. I have changed my answer any scenario that um
                                         
    
                                        You can enter into that may
                                         
                                        Possibly even if it's like a zero point zero zero one percent chance of touching dicks with your dad
                                         
                                        Is a scenario that's worth avoiding like what if there's an earthquake jeff? Oh, no get out. No, I'm going that way
                                         
                                        Coming this way. Oh, no. I gotta get and I gotta go to the bullet store and kill myself
                                         
                                        I
                                         
                                        Jeff you can't take what okay? Why did we even entertain this possibility jeff? You can't take naked baths with your dad
                                         
                                        Can't sell phone call any someone's like what are you doing jeff?
                                         
                                        You're like, I'm just taking naked bath my daddy and some of his old friends and their balls are out of stuff
                                         
    
                                        That's great. Let me give you a formula. All right
                                         
                                        You plus naked dad taking naked bath not okay. Why does adding like eight other naked dudes make it better?
                                         
                                        That does not make the situation better
                                         
                                        Is my parka too much? No, it's not enough jeff. It's never enough
                                         
                                        You're taking a naked bath with your dads and all his old friends
                                         
                                        I'm gonna go out on a limb and say if you were in eight separate jacuzzis, but only naked and looking at each other
                                         
                                        It's not any better. Yeah, it's not any better. It may be worse
                                         
                                        What's the maximum distance that you have to keep?
                                         
    
                                        Your naked genitalia away from from your dad's three states or one layer of cloth
                                         
                                        So unless that causes chunks now one addendum I think this scenario is okay
                                         
                                        If you're Greek if you're like super greek and not like you have a little bit of greek yeah in you
                                         
                                        But I'm talking like heavy greek. No heavy greek. Then it's been it's complete if you're going heavy greek
                                         
                                        You're okay to take a naked bath. Yeah, that's just science
                                         
                                        um
                                         
                                        I've started dating an awesome girl. Oh rub it in guy. Yeah, real nice guy
                                         
                                        Who didn't think the sign is email?
                                         
    
                                        Oh, oh, no, no, no, okay. It's two lines. Thanks champ. No problem. I've started dating an awesome girl
                                         
                                        I found out she likes to watch hilariously bad movies. This is one of my favorite pastimes. So I'm pretty excited
                                         
                                        What terrible films would you recommend for a fun date? Can anything be both horrible and romantic?
                                         
                                        OJ, okay
                                         
                                        Griffin is going to suggest a film to you that I am going to immediately poo poo and I will tell you why
                                         
                                        Griffin go ahead
                                         
                                        I'm it's the room. Okay, but it's not the room
                                         
                                        Think about this for a second. Okay, you just started dating a girl
                                         
    
                                        You're like, hey, I have had this hilariously bad movie and at first it will go great
                                         
                                        It will go really great for like the first 15 seconds for like the no like no for the first 15
                                         
                                        Well, yeah, yeah, basically for like the first three minutes
                                         
                                        There's like a lot of
                                         
                                        Sex scenes and like really gross sexy like uncomfortable non sexy sex scenes like the yeah grossest
                                         
                                        It's really gross. I think he's got to get to know her a little better
                                         
                                        I disagree. I mean, I think it depends on what age you are
                                         
                                        I think if jay's in high school, then maybe not because that's something that that high schoolers high schoolers aren't ready to see
                                         
    
                                        Tommy Wiseau's
                                         
                                        horrible glistening like swamp thing body thrusting
                                         
                                        up and down on top of
                                         
                                        Lisa or whatever that actress's name is um
                                         
                                        That's that is a nightmare. Um, but I think once you're old enough you can see the the humor
                                         
                                        I'm gonna throw a hung pal
                                         
                                        Into the fist
                                         
                                        See, but that's not a that's not a terrible movie, but you like that movie. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying
                                         
    
                                        But it's like I mean, it's it's funny, but like it's it's pretty bad. You feel bad for liking it. Um

                                        But Justin was what is it that dwight always makes people watch on bad movie night? What is that movie with y'all?
                                         
                                        Oh, no, no real men. That's a fine film. No watch that. It's awesome. Yeah, it's a really good movie
                                         
                                        Uh, but god, it's just rub it in griffin's face day. I'm in a seven year strong relationship with the one
                                         
                                        What are some good romantic ideas for showing her how much I appreciate her the stand-by is a nice home cooked meal with candles
                                         
                                        Anything that comes to mind form spring if you're making your wife a
                                         
    
                                        Candle at dinner you are ahead of the curve and can I just say he doesn't say wife
                                         
                                        So if that's not the case, how about putting a ring on it? Yeah, that would be a pretty nice
                                         
                                        I think that's why that ring on that was invented
                                         
                                        Yeah, you know what you could do? Uh, get the ring and then keep focusing on the dinner thing
                                         
                                        So that way if you ever burn dinner you have a backup plan
                                         
                                        Sorry about the roast, but do you want to spend the rest of your life with me?
                                         
                                        And do I have to eat your gross burnt roast? No, so no
                                         
                                        No, you eat how as much roast as you want. That's what marriage is
                                         
    
                                        Eating as much roast as you want
                                         
                                        I think you got a just

                                        Hmm

                                        I put tabasco on everything. I think it may be unhealthy, but I just can't stop
                                         
                                        I went to my local community center, but they said they didn't have any programs for my type of addiction
                                         
    
                                        I don't know where to turn and my mouth is on fire help

                                        Friend request a girl that you don't know that well
                                         
                                        You're gonna miss out on a lot of the stuff
                                         
                                        The good stuff that comes with like getting to know somebody like there's so much you could dig up there
                                         
                                        And like in a creepy way not in a good way
                                         
    
                                        And I mean part of this problem is that a lot of us put too much on the internet for people to look at I get that
                                         
                                        but
                                         
                                        Here's the thing. Here's the thing
                                         
                                        Socializing over the internet. It's it's convenient and uh, it may allow you to interact with people that you normally wouldn't
                                         
                                        But ultimately on the the grand scale of social interaction. It's kind of like eating corn chips
                                         
                                        In that, um, you can eat a whole bunch of corn chips and never really get full
                                         
                                        It's sort of there. It's empty calories
                                         
                                        As far as socializing goes like I would rather play that into human language
                                         
    
                                        I would rather have one like really good long conversation with a person than than 100 facebook chats
                                         
                                        Because ultimately those don't I don't think those add up to anything
                                         
                                        I don't know I got but
                                         
                                        It takes little to no effort to accept your friend request on facebook. So it means nothing
                                         
                                        So if you like you're gonna get the wrong idea. Yeah, and she says yes, and you're like, yeah, she added me as a friend
                                         
                                        She probably doesn't even know who you are
                                         
                                        But you know, it's so easy to just click yes rather than try to figure out who that person is
                                         
                                        I'm I'm officially on the side of I don't think it's a good idea to use facebook to get a relationship going
                                         
    
                                        I use the old-fashioned way. I think you'll be better off in the long run. I think that it can work
                                         
                                        But it's probably not going to it. It just there's no added benefit to using facebook
                                         
                                        It just seems like a way to hide behind facebook
                                         
                                        You know just go talk to her if you had a good conversation with her
                                         
                                        Play off of that
                                         
                                        Yeah, keep talking sure. Yeah, you know what I'd like to see in meat space. I I'd like to see
                                         
                                        uh
                                         
                                        an entire
                                         
    
                                        Relationship that lasts and it lasts an entire lifetime
                                         
                                        That just only takes place on facebook
                                         
                                        The two people have no never have any real life
                                         
                                        physical interaction just pokes
                                         
                                        Uh and chats and pokes wall posts
                                         
                                        And they create a baby they create a poke baby
                                         
                                        Poke baby. I have created several poke babies with with our listeners. Man, the pokes are blowing up guys. They are blowing up
                                         
                                        Every time I log on it's like 30 to 40 pokes
                                         
    
                                        Just and I have to take like, you know, five minutes to respond to all of them, but it's worth it
                                         
                                        It's totally worth it. Keep those posts going folks. Keep going pokes. It's how you show you care
                                         
                                        I met the most amazing girl a few weeks ago. Jesus Christ. Wow
                                         
                                        Ouch
                                         
                                        She's intelligent classy beautiful loves wine and art
                                         
                                        Sounds too good for you. Yep. Anyway, I'm not liking what this is going, but let her go. You've had it
                                         
                                        Anyways, I manned up got her number and asked her out on a date a week after I met her you asked her out in
                                         
                                        Real life. That's already puts you ahead of the curve
                                         
    
                                        Uh, we went out and it was absolutely amazing one of the best dates. I've ever been on we went out to a nice dinner raking
                                         
                                        Up a bill close to 80 dollars. Well, I've got a fairly good job. It was still a bit expensive for my taste
                                         
                                        Problem is that if we're going on a second date soon, which will include dinner
                                         
                                        And I'm not sure if I could she take her to a similar place or if things will go fine in regards to somewhere cheaper
                                         
                                        It's only been one date, but I'm afraid I've set a standard for outings here after
                                         
                                        What are your thoughts on the amount you've spent on dates since you've sampled this guy?
                                         
                                        I have the best answer for this like
                                         
                                        Awesome and like good answer
                                         
    
                                        For once you need to trade the cost of that dinner
                                         
                                        For the amount of thought you put into the date
                                         
                                        So a picnic doesn't cost you a lot of money, but if you set it up really nice, it's more impressive than an 80 dollar dinner
                                         
                                        So true. So what you know that is such a good point. Yes
                                         
                                        Unless she unless she a gold digger
                                         
                                        She a gold digger which is a great time to find that out on the second date
                                         
                                        Yeah, a good point. It's either going to like separate the wheat from the chaff or it's going to save you a few bucks
                                         
                                        It is a win either way
                                         
    
                                        But guys, she is intelligent, classy, beautiful, loves wine and art
                                         
                                        You can't take a fine fine woman like that to benign against
                                         
                                        But you don't I'm going to say go to benign against Griffin. You're not paying attention. You're not thinking
                                         
                                        Take her to a museum where there is no admission, but suggest the donations
                                         
                                        She loves art and then and then suggest that she if she wants to donate she does it from her own birth
                                         
                                        By a $15 bottle of wine from Kroger
                                         
                                        And
                                         
                                        Three bucks and crackers picnic
                                         
    
                                        You're in san francisco. You have great parks there
                                         
                                        Right, I see it in full house every day
                                         
                                        It's hard to have a picnic in those parks though because I mean if you have any round fruits
                                         
                                        They'll just like roll right down the blanket and the tanners are always raising a ruckus, you know them

                                        Would keep it in my pants for Griffin McElroy. Tasha. Thank you. What does that mean?
                                         
                                        I have one question here. What kind of praying mantis are you that if you sleep with him
                                         
                                        You lose him and kill him
                                         
                                        Where does he go?
                                         
                                        I think tasha. I think honestly that
                                         
                                        You it is more fun to have someone at work that you flirt with and have the possibility of doing it
                                         
                                        Then to do it and it's like weird forever. Yeah
                                         
    
                                        You know, I I don't know. What do you what do you guys think?
                                         
                                        What depends do you have a crush on him and you want to do him or do you like like him?
                                         
                                        Or do you want to have sex with him and then eat him apparently his head and my eggs and his
                                         
                                        Hey, did you play listen? I had a great time last night me too. Did you lay eggs in my thorax? Oh, that's really weird
                                         
                                        I've got to say I feel a gurgling down in my my midsection
                                         
                                        It's very it's very odd. Um, I I think tasha for voting I say
                                         
                                        don't
                                         
                                        Have sex with him and kill him, but maybe
                                         
    
                                        I and also tasha you're hot enough to bed him. He should be advancing on you let him set the pace of this
                                         
                                        He should become to you
                                         
                                        He should come to you
                                         
                                        I think your words start making jokes
                                         
                                        About dealing him but never actually doing it but always have a possibility hanging in the air
                                         
                                        Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. This guy listens to the show
                                         
                                        We're officially advising this girl to give him a cold shirt. Listen. Okay, listen
                                         
                                        Dude, we're doing it for your own good. She wants to eat you. She's gonna lay eggs in your thorax
                                         
    
                                        Face and lay them lay eggs in your face. I feel like you've ever seen species
                                         
                                        We have a unique opportunity right now. Um, because this is the first time that we've gotten a question like this
                                         
                                        Where both parties we know are listening to the show
                                         
                                        Um, I think instead of advising them to do one or the other
                                         
                                        Uh, we should just say you two kids
                                         
                                        Just swap tartar sauce like the next time you see each other
                                         
                                        But tasha don't eat it. They need to make out in the supply closet too sweet. What is it?
                                         
                                        Today is monday. Um, they're probably not listening to the show before work. We'll say after work. So Tuesday morning
                                         
    
                                        Uh, you say morning. No no discussion. I will say 10 o'clock supply closet
