I mean, that's fair.

[Jeff]

That's brilliant.

[Willie Griswold]

That's just good.

[Pat McGee]

I don't like it. I. I don't think it's necessarily ethical, but it's fair in that he didn't. Oh, boy.

[Jess]

He did the work.

It was a pretty good rendition. Charlie Puth did too. It sounded beautiful.

[Jess]

Wild beavers have returned to the UK for the first time in 400 years.

[Bob Kevoian]

I like this.

[Willie Griswold]

This has 400. Good. Right.

[Jess]

The BBC reports that two pairs of beavers were recently released at a nature reserve in Cornwall.

[Willie Griswold]

Yes.

[Jess]

As part of the country's first fully licensed release.

[Willie Griswold]

Why is that called cornball?

[Jeff]

Seems like a lot of pressure for two beaver.

[Jess]

Right.

[Jeff]

You gotta repopulate the entire country.

[Jess]

The species is being reintroduced after beavers were hunted to extinction in England more than 400 years ago.

[Willie Griswold]

Now here they are. We're reintroducing them. Ladies and gentleme. Is the beavers better?

[Jeff]

Three weeks.

[Willie Griswold]

Are you sure? Are. Are they boy and a girl beaver or.

[Jess]

It doesn't say their gender.

[Pat McGee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

No, they're releasing gay beavers in England. They're doing it. They said they wouldn't do it. They're doing it.

[Jeff]

They're doing it.

[Willie Griswold]

Gay beavers.

[Pat McGee]

Wow.

[Jess]

Last year, permission was also granted to reintroduce beavers to the Scottish Highlands.

[Pat McGee]

Cool.

[Jess]

Good news.

[Willie Griswold]

Have you ever seen a beaver? An actual real beaver?

[Home Depot Advertiser]

Yes.

[Jess]

Up close, they're huge.

[Pat McGee]

Oh, not too up close. No, no. But yes, I agree with you. It was much bigger than I thought.

[Jess]

Yeah. Yeah. It's like a small bear. It is.

[Willie Griswold]

I don't know what kind of beavers you're bumping up against.

[Bob Kevoian]

Big beavers.

[Jeff]

That's a big beaver.

[Jess]

Big beavers.

[Pat McGee]

Perhaps soon they'll reintroduce dentists to England.

[Tom Griswold]

Maybe they could seasoning in their food.

[Willie Griswold]

You know George Harrison owned a beaver, right, Pat? You know they named it Cornball. I don't. I don't think I do well around a beaver. I don't know. I'D be nervous.

[Jess]

I bet not.

[Tom Griswold]

I think they're busy. They're doing their own thing. They have jobs. They're working on dams, they're working on trees.

[Pat McGee]

Yes, but they have been known to attack.

[Tom Griswold]

Do they really?

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah, they slap the. Slap the water with that big tail.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's.

[Tom Griswold]

They don't have a good work life balance. They can get frustrated sometimes. That happens.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

You know, you got to take time for yourself. You're a beaver.

[Jeff]

What's that tail feel like? Like. Is that hairy or is it like

[Willie Griswold]

a. I think it's like. That's a good question. It's like a snakeskin.

[Jess]

See, I always thought it was like the roof of a house.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Pat McGee]

I assumed it was like a leathery oven mitt. Oh yeah.

[Celsius Energy Advertiser]

Okay.

[Willie Griswold]

I always thought it was like a chenille robe.

[Bob Kevoian]

Are they.

[Tom Griswold]

They're kind of. If you. They're a little wet. Right. They're damp. They're always by water, aren't they?

[Pat McGee]

Yeah, they tend to be damp.

[Tom Griswold]

And then is the tail slimy all the time or only if it dries out?

[Jess]

Dogs. Right. They're like water dogs. Like off of them.

[Willie Griswold]

You don't want to be around a dry beaver, I can tell you that. Those are bad news.

[Pat McGee]

Shir. You better behave over.

[Willie Griswold]

What am I doing? What the hell am I doing over here?

[Bob Kevoian]

We used to eat the beaver down the street. Remember the place that had the beaver?

[Pat McGee]

They served.

[Willie Griswold]

They served beaver and it was pretty good. But sometimes they would hold the beaver till the next day and dust this off. It wouldn't be well safe to eat. Isn't it.

[Bob Kevoian]

A where to place that served exotic dishes like elk and wild boar? I heard it was delicious. It was so delicious I had to

[Pat McGee]

put one on my glasses.

[Bob Kevoian]

But once they have eight babysit. It's so sad to see what was it? Could be forgone bread. What a trial time. Could be forgone bread. It was tough and dry. I took a whiff and almost fainted. The pink, it turned brown and it tasted kind of tainted. You take your chances eatin out. Oh I should have had a drought. Good beaver gone bad. You want it fresh? Don't let it spoil rotten. Or leave it hanging around where it's forgotten. You better eat it while it's hot cause pretty soon it's not. Oh good people goes bad.

[Tom Griswold]

Here we go.

[Bob Kevoian]

Sometimes a beaver make that sound. Love is dried up. It once was so delicious. She's cruel and she's cold now. Vile and vicious she was up to no good. Washing out on the Wood.

[Pat McGee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Good beaver gone bad. Here we go. Little sing along at the end. Good beaver. They'll sing along at the end.

[Willie Griswold]

You sued this. You get us ready for a sing along. You did it again.

[Bob Kevoian]

We don't know what you're going to. And then we did join and then

[Pat McGee]

you bailed on it.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'd like to surprise people.

[Jess]

A United Airlines passenger headed from Los Angeles to Nicaragua found himself landing in Tokyo after no one had noticed he boarded the wrong flight. I don't know, but isn't.

[Willie Griswold]

Shouldn't he take some responsibility at some point to be on the right plane?

[Pat McGee]

Yes, but you, There are so many people that check your off.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, oh, you know, if you're in the wrong boarding group, they'll say hey sir, get back in the back of the line. Like they check you.

[Jeff]

He didn't look around though and go, man, there are a lot of Asians going to Texas this week. Or Nicaragua or wherever.

[Willie Griswold]

Nicaragua, Texas.

[Jeff]

I didn't listen.

[Jess]

Victor Calderon told Spanish language media that he realized something was wrong when the three hour and 15 minute flight to his connection in Houston was taking six hours.

[Tom Griswold]

Did he notice after his fourth or

[Jess]

fifth whiskey soda, he was shocked to learn from the flight attendant that the plane was headed to Tokyo. Mr. Calderon was left stranded at the airport until United could arrange a return flight to Los Angeles.

[Willie Griswold]

Well, I hope they, they picked up the bill for. They didn't charge. Yeah, I still, I don't know.

[Pat McGee]

He should not have been allowed on the plane.

[Willie Griswold]

How did he. That's, that's nothing short of he's a stowaway.

[Pat McGee]

Right?

[Willie Griswold]

I mean, come on.

[Jess]

Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

I can't get on a plane and just go to Nicaragua. They wouldn't let. With a.

[Pat McGee]

Why would you go there? Do you think? What's going on over there? It's gotta be a mess, right? I don't know anything about it, but I just assume it's mostly like there's

[Willie Griswold]

got to be some problem.

[Pat McGee]

Lies and unblown up minds.

[Willie Griswold]

The locals. I know. Sandinistas. Yeah.

[Jess]

Drugs. Would you go for drugs?

[Willie Griswold]

Probably some drugs.

[Jeff]

Maybe he's from there.

[Pat McGee]

Well then what was he doing here? That's why

[Jeff]

he was self reporting. So,

[Pat McGee]

so just the, the ignorance.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, actually, what's going on over there?

[Tom Griswold]

What have they got going on down there?

[Pat McGee]

I don't, I don't know.

[Willie Griswold]

Hey Jeff, Tom has a, a note for you real quick. We'll have a nice day and a nice life.

[Pat McGee]

He sounds so sincere.

[Jeff]

That's, that's, that's what's so awful.

[Tom Griswold]

It's when he gets sincere, that's when you got to be careful. I've learned that when he's goofing around, everybody is having fun.

[Willie Griswold]

It's like the vote of confidence for the football coach or the baseball manager. No, no, I'm behind him 100%.

[Bob Kevoian]

He's our guy. Yeah.

[Jess]

Whenever this has come up, his excuse for what he said was, well, the. The piece had lasted so long.

[Pat McGee]

Oh, yeah, he keeps complaining about that for whatever reason, that that was.

[Jess]

That that was the proper response to a bit that had gone too long.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Jess]

Have a nice life.

[Tom Griswold]

And I remember because I had to replay the intro music three times for it.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Jess]

That is true.

[Willie Griswold]

That's true.

[Jess]

Scientists have determined why dogs sense when you're sad, stressed, or smiling.

[Willie Griswold]

Because they're aware and they can see you crying.

[Pat McGee]

They're sweet.

[Jess]

Thanks to thousands of years of co evolution, dogs brains have dedicated areas that are sensitive to voice similar to those in humans. In a brain imaging scan, researchers found that emotionally charged sounds. A laugh, a cry, an angry shout. Activate a part of the brain involved in processing emotions. This allows them to read human social signals and respond accordingly.

[Pat McGee]

Oh, this is a nothing study. I mean, this is just.

[Willie Griswold]

I have read this that dogs are far more aware and they can. They sense the tone in your voice and they, of course, they take things personally.

[Tom Griswold]

And is there a chance if you're a scientist and you have to apply for a grant, just sometimes you want to do one where it's like, hey, this is a home run. I know this is gonna work. My hypothesis is gonna work this time.

[Jess]

Yeah.

[Pat McGee]

And I get to hang out with dogs.

[Home Depot Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I get a show with dogs.

[Willie Griswold]

The hardest part of this must be filling the grant forms out. Right.

[Jess]

That has to take a. I mean, they hire people to just do the grant forms like nothing else.

[Willie Griswold]

No kidding.

[Jess]

Oh, yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

Wow.

[Jess]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And then you have to find a bunch of people that are sad, that want to hang out with dogs. That's weird putting that Craigslist ad out there.

[Jess]

Dogs could even sniff out emotions. In a 2018 study, dogs exposed to sweat from scared people exhibited more stress than dogs that smelled happy sweat.

[Pat McGee]

That's weird.

[Willie Griswold]

There's happy sweat.

[Jess]

Well, sex sweat is happy sweat, right?

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah. Okay. But. But is it.

[Pat McGee]

But a dog.

[Jess]

Yeah.

[Pat McGee]

Sweat when you're. You guys sweat when you're scared.

[Jess]

Oh, yeah. Or nervous nervous for sure.

[Willie Griswold]

I don't.

[Pat McGee]

I don't have that.

[Willie Griswold]

Maybe that's why you like horror movies.

[Pat McGee]

That's why I have to Roll around in mud before a show.

[Willie Griswold]

And now here he is, Pig Pen lays up. What do you think? Wow.

[Pat McGee]

Do you sweat before you get fairly nervous? Pat, do you sweat?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, I used to.

[Pat McGee]

I.

[Bob Kevoian]

For some reason with working out, the cortisol's come down a little bit. Yeah, I used to get crazy nervous.

[Pat McGee]

Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

Do you remember Tommy Jonigan would sweat?

[Pat McGee]

He was a big sweater dude.

[Willie Griswold]

He would have to wear like candy liners, absorbent pads underneath his arm.

[Pat McGee]

Jeff, you sweat, but is it because of the stage lights or is it nerves?

[Jeff]

No, it's nerves and it's bad.

[Jess]

Yeah, it is bad.

[Jeff]

I have to bring a few shirts.

[Pat McGee]

You'll bring like a Bruce Bruce rag up there. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

I do think it would go better if he had better material.

[Jeff]

Let me look into that and get back to you.

[Willie Griswold]

You know I love you. I'm just busting balls.

[Jeff]

I love it.

[Bob Kevoian]

You know, so the day of a show, people who do that here in the, in the room, your body temperature will change. Like in the late afternoon, you start to get hot.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

And go, oh, here we go. Like a natural fear response to performing.

[Jess]

It starts hours before the show for me.

[Pat McGee]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Late afternoon right now. In here. You guys make me.

[Willie Griswold]

I guess I've surmised, I've assumed that you're somewhat of a diva, but stories you're telling me are. It put you off the chart for being.

[Bob Kevoian]

I will call the front desk and say, chill. My room better.

[Jeff]

Pat's.

[Tom Griswold]

Pat's great to be around before the show.

[Willie Griswold]

You're in the green room.

[Tom Griswold]

You're just getting your sets together, just getting your jokes in order. And he goes, hey, a little bit late to be writing jokes, isn't it? It's real fun.

[Pat McGee]

That is funny.

[Tom Griswold]

Right before you go up.

[Jess]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Good time in Iowa.

[Pat McGee]

Yeah.

[Jess]

Chick sweats in the grocery checkout.

[Willie Griswold]

I do too. I feel like I'm going to be called on to do something. I'm really nervous, I swear, but I'm

[Tom Griswold]

just excited to eat my rotisserie chicken in the.

[Pat McGee]

Do you sweat at a self checkout?

[Willie Griswold]

No, I don't. I have noticed that self checkout. I'm okay. I. It's the interaction with other people.

[Jess]

It's the. It's very particular to a type of checkout person.

[Willie Griswold]

That's right. A middle aged older woman. He gets really reminds me of my mother. I get real.

[Pat McGee]

I mean, that tracks, right?

[Tom Griswold]

If you don't use your Kroger card, you're just leaving money on the table, Mr. McGee.

[Jess]

And the sweeter they are the madder he gets.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, hey, don't you.

[Cashier]

Oh, hi, honey. How are you?

[Willie Griswold]

Okay.

[Cashier]

Did you find everything you need, hon?

[Jess]

Oh, it's such an experiment.

[Willie Griswold]

You're. Honey. All right.

[Bob Kevoian]

Hey, Josh, do your impression of putting the healthy food on the. On the conveyor belt for the.

[Jess]

Oh, the story. It really happened.

[Pat McGee]

Oh, yeah, this really did happen.

[Bob Kevoian]

You put your.

[Pat McGee]

Yeah, I had. Yeah. You know, I was. Was changing my. My diet around, and I had some vegetables and fruit and lean meats and all this stuff. And the cashier, who I'd never met before, never seen her, she looked at me and looked at the food and she goes, making some changes, huh?

[Willie Griswold]

That had to actually happen. It's too funny for it not to happen.

[Bob Kevoian]

Making some changes, huh?

[Jeff]

Did it hurt?

[Pat McGee]

Yeah, it was so funny that. No, I didn't let it hurt me. And I knew her heart was in the right place.

[Jess]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

So funny.

[Willie Griswold]

I'd get so mad if that happened to me. You know what else I get upset with now?

[Cashier]

Hey, hon. How are you? Oh, sweetie.

[Pat McGee]

Okay.

[Willie Griswold]

I don't like that.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't like. What is a cvs. They go, and you. Did you find everything okay? Well, I'm here. I'm checking out.

[Willie Griswold]

Yes. And now I'm even more upset because I have. Pat and I are far more in common than I ever dream.

[Bob Kevoian]

Did you find everything okay?

[Jeff]

Yeah, last time that happened to me, I was like. Actually, it took me like 12 minutes to find the Velveeta, if you want to know. I did find it, but it. It wasn't easily.

[Willie Griswold]

They have it.

[Pat McGee]

It's not where you think it should be.

[Willie Griswold]

Yes, they have it. They have it hidden.

[Jess]

It's always on an end Cap.

[Willie Griswold]

Yes.

[Jess]

It's not with cheese. It's not with macaroni.

[Jeff]

Dude, Velveeta is a tough find at the grocery store.

[Tom Griswold]

It's by the hotel, right?

[Pat McGee]

Almost. Sometimes.

[Willie Griswold]

Sometimes some. It should be with like the ch. The tostitos, the chips or something. Something you're going to melt, right?

[Celsius Energy Advertiser]

Okay.

[Willie Griswold]

Yes.

[Jeff]

Yes.

[Jess]

Because it doesn't have to be refrigerated. It's not with the cheese.

[Cashier]

Did you find the Velveeta? Honey, you know what?

[Pat McGee]

My therapist told Me, because I'm with you, chick. I used to have an issue with, like, servers that were really kind.

[Podcast Guest]

Yes.

[Pat McGee]

Hey, you and I, if we went to lunch and we had one of those, we would go, do we have to run out of here?

[Willie Griswold]

I think we're gonna have to leave. Yeah.

[Pat McGee]

My therapist said. She said, listen, you deserve kindness.

[Willie Griswold]

And no, No, I don't.

[Pat McGee]

See, that's our issue.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes.

[Pat McGee]

We don't think we deserve nice treatment.

[Jess]

Me uncomfortable of it.

[Pat McGee]

Yes. Yeah. Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

Makes me uncomfortable. Makes me sweat.

[Bob Kevoian]

Did you ever have the waitress sit down with you?

[Pat McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Jeff]

What. What about.

[Pat McGee]

I. That does not bother me.

[Willie Griswold]

I hate that.

[Pat McGee]

Oh, yes.

[Willie Griswold]

And invite you into their. Your conversation. You know, I went to North Carolina once. Get out of my table. Yeah, that happened.

[Jeff]

It was specific.

[Pat McGee]

I could never be a server. I. I'm not. I would not be good at it.

[Jess]

Is anybody else? I'm. I've. I have been.

[Bob Kevoian]

I did it for three weeks. TGI Fridays in.

[Jess]

Oh, really?

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, I bet you were amazing.

[Pat McGee]

I know you can't believe how bad that was.

[Jeff]

I was an outback server for six months.

[Jess]

Okay.

[Pat McGee]

I would constantly forget things and drop.

[Jeff]

Oh, I did. Oh, I did.

[Pat McGee]

That's all. It was horrible.

[Willie Griswold]

Lot. Lot of dropping going on.

[Pat McGee]

So much drop.

[Jeff]

Oh, and as I sweat on stage, I also sweat as your server. And there's nothing people love more than their server sweating into their food.
