[Andrew]

There'S some other cities in the works. They're less than likely. These are the ones that are definite and going to happen. But there's a possibility that we add some more. Now a lot of you are saying, hey, we heard the main feed episode. We don't need this extra fucking plug thing dropping in the feed. What is the point of this? I already know about the tour.

Is Rin Tin Tin in?

[Aaron]

Rin Tin is in. We're playing Agrabah with Rin Tin and Iago the parrot. This is unbelievably exciting.

[Andrew]

We also have some. Maybe some guest surprises for the Chicago and Minneapolis show. Or I guess it's Twin Cities show up and New York as well. We have to figure out if we know anyone in Denver and Philadelphia, so we'll have to figure that part out. But be on the lookout. And then for dc, we got Trump. Not the bad one. We got Eric.

[Adel]

We love Eric. Everyone's gonna get a chance to roast Eric one at a time. So bring your Eric roast.

[Andrew]

Bring your Eric roast to the DC show, please.

[Aaron]

Line out the door.

[Adel]

I actually mean that. We'll have 10 people line up to the mic and give their best Eric roast.
