Outline[]
1:10 - Intro - Justin's fun claustrophobic weather-delayed train ride,[Note 1] Bathroom door derailment, I can get an adult every time
9:29 - Email - Fruit is my favorite food. Yesterday, I brought an entire watermelon with me to a theater rehearsal, along with a knife so I could slice it up to eat. Brothers, is there any acceptable way to explain that the whole watermelon is for me? -- Melon-choly in Massachusetts.
The brothers instantly take issue with "fruit" being the asker's favorite food. They confirm with the asker that they did in fact share the watermelon on this occasion. They advise to cut up the watermelon beforehand in the future.
15:32 - Email - The office I work at is pretty small and laid back. So, my coworkers will occasionally bring their dogs or cats in for the day. It’s a great way to brighten up and otherwise tedious workday. I obviously wanna get in on the fun. And while I don’t have a dog or cat, I do have a four-foot-long ball python. He is very polite. What are your thoughts on snakes in the workplace? Should I do this? Also, what’s the best way to sneak a reptile onto public transit? -- Snake Whisperer in South Boston.
Griffin and Travis agree: Put a little hat on the snake.
20:32 - Email - I live at the corner of a very busy intersection, and there’s a bus stop directly in front of my steps. Whenever I order food, I ask the delivery person to leave it on the porch. When I come out to get the food, there are usually several people facing me as I walk out. The other day, an old man saw me do this and said, "What have you got there, pizza? Nice." Is there something I should’ve said in that situation? Should I pretend I don’t notice the people standing less than 10 feet away, or would that make it worse? -- The Food Goblin of Waltham, Massachusetts.
Henry enjoys sharks at the aquarium, Travis likes Shrek, and Justin saw a sweaty person while getting breakfast. Wait, was there a question here?
28:46 - Email - I’m a shorebird monitor on Martha’s Vineyard, so, my job requires me to interact with a lot of beach nesting birds, who are very much not chill with me. Yeah. Some particularly aggressive birds will even divebomb my head with their razor-sharp breaks, and it’s pretty intimidating. How do I communicate to the birds that I’m a cool person who doesn’t wanna eat their babies? And that I’m here to protect them? -- Birdbrain in Oak Bluffs.
The brothers agree that birds are right to distrust us.
32:35 - MZ - Stamps.com ad in an empty haunted casino, Stitchfix helps you become a scuzzy skater boy, ad for Shmanners, ad for The Beef & Dairy Network
"He will fall in love with you. Rov will protect you with all he has. He won’t let anyone hurt you."
36:34 - Haunted Doll Watch - Rov, a "sexual demonic spirit wanting to find someone who is highly charged - like him." Or, you know, a Bratz doll with no feet.
Audience Questions[]
43:23 - "My mother-in-law is a wonderful person, but whenever she texts, she likes to use a lot of abbreviations. And she will save every character she can. She spells the word 'come' c-u-m. How do I make her stop?" -- Brendan. Brendan was kind enough to offer some examples, such as:
What time should we cum?
Should we bring snacks when we cum?
Not sure if your father will cum.
47:48 - Tomorrow is Father’s Day and I haven't gotten my dad a Father’s Day gift. You are all dads, what should I get him? -- Shaila (she/her).[Note 2]
52:30 - Around 10 o’clock, 10:30, every night, no matter where I am, no matter what I’m doing, I get really, really tired And start to fall asleep. If I fall asleep for like half an hour. I wake up half an hour after that and I’m perfect. When I was living with my parents this wasn’t an issue because they did the exact same thing. But now, I’m a young person in the city, and I go to events and parties and hang out with people. And so, now at around 10 o’clock, when other young people are not falling asleep, I need to take a little half hour power nap. It’s gotten to the point now where my friends have whole albums on their phone of me just asleep on the couch. How do I stop my friends from taking pictures of me while I’m taking my snooze? -- Max.
58:13 - Is there a statute of limitations on repossessing Yu-Gi-Oh! cards from a child? -- Adrian Cowles.
1:02:30 - Housekeeping
1:03:48 - Closing Impressions - Mark Wahlberg who is also Shrek.
Quotes[]
- “'Fruit is my favorite food.' Already that’s a bad start. Fruit can’t be your favorite. That’s like, 'Building is my favorite rectangle.'”
- — Justin
- “If you bring a dog into the workplace, and someone’s like, 'How did it go?' And you’re like, 'It didn’t go great,' that means that the dog peed on the carpet. If you bring a snake into the workplace and someone says, 'How did it go?' And you said, 'Not great,' it ate the dog.”
- — Justin
Griffin: Jon Voight. I’m terrified of that dude. Travis: I knew it! So, if you came out and there was a Jon Voight on the table— Griffin: I’d shit my pants.
- “I’m proud to be a human ‘cause I drink Coca-Cola with my mouth. Got opposable thumbs to play X-Box and I drive my bike down South. And I proudly stand up next to you my human friends and kids. I said I’m proud to be a human! God bless the USA!”
- — Griffin, to the tune of God Bless the USA

Notes[]
- ↑ Various weather issues led to this show being the way it was: Justin's flight was rerouted and he had to take an additional rental car and train ride, and Clint couldn't make it at all, which is why the episode begins with the normal Bob Ball disclaimer. It was uploaded later due to Travis' power and internet going out due to inclement weather, which meant they couldn't record their normal episode.
- ↑ The title goof appears in this section.
