Welcome everyone to very fine friends, bonus improv. Wow. Jenner, you sound so good. I felt strange. That was great. I love it. Thanks. We're going to do some bonus improv this episode. Are you ready for that? Oh, yeah. I'm ready. Yeah. How ready are you? It's already. Whoa. She doesn't lie. This girl. I tell you does not lie. She can't. She's a capable. She's a truth teller. I want to. Hey, Joe. Hey, Jenner. Can we get a suggestion? You sure can, Jenner. Your suggestion is the environment. The environment. The environment. I'm going to say the environment like with the word was environmental.
I'm changing it to the environment. Okay. As your suggestion. I love the environment. Yeah. It's all right. Yes. When it's right, it's right. It's beautiful. Flowers butterflies on flowers. Yeah. Bees and flowers. Animals and trees. Not flowers. What a wonderful well. Pick if you had to pick one thing that you like in the environment to go away forever. What would you pick? Something I like to go away forever. Yeah. Like some bit of nature. But I like it. I like it. But it's got to go away. I would say sunsets. Joe. What? I, they're nice, but you've seen one. You've seen them all. That's not true. I don't know. If I had to pick something, it would be sunsets. Wait, wait, is the goal to get rid of some like the most liked pony? No, no. The goal is just what's
something that you do enjoy, but you enjoy the price. What are you getting anything for the sacrifice? No, it's just that you got to get rid of it. Sometimes you have to make hard decisions for instance. Okay. I can't believe you got sunsets right out of the gate. Yeah, that was tough to hear. Besides, that's only a one time of day thing. Anything else that you give up is probably going to be like, like if you could like trees or bushes or whatever, flowers, like those are day round things. Let's get specific. I have a thought myself. Oh, it's here. Butterflies. I get rid of butterflies. What? The thing I specifically mentioned, is it being enjoyed? I know. I mean, in their, they're pretty in whatever, but I don't know. I'd get rid of them. You are both sick. Well, they're pretty wings, but they still have like a gross insect body. You can actually look at that close up. Well, if you think about it, it's like they're pretty close to a moth, and I don't enjoy moths. Yeah, exactly. So it's like that's actually like a pretty quick leap that I can make. Yeah, the only difference between butterflies and moths,
now that I think about it is just pigmentation. Yeah, that butterflies are prettier. And one works the day shift. Yeah. But okay, that's, I think that's what I would get rid of. I think that's still a way more sane than sunsets. Wow. Okay, I'm going to say fog. Oh, no, but a good fog is, is nice. Yeah, but you hardly ever see it. Will you like fog, though? I do, especially like in the mountains. Yeah. Beautiful. Stunning, gorgeous. But I can say goodbye. Okay. It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to do. I think by the fog. Actually, it wouldn't be that hard. It's nice, but it can go. Okay. Is it serve of purpose? I don't know. It looks, it sets a mood. It is a mood setter, yeah. But what would more as be without fog? Less.
Yes. Nice. Thanks. Yeah, I don't know. And now in pro. Timothy? Yeah. Okay. Honey, I'm, I'm real, real sorry about this, but I went okay. This is going to be weird to think of your mother as human, but I am human. I went to a bar last night with some friends and we met a guy who was fun, but he was kept giving us hypothetical situations. What I thought was hypothetical situations. And turns out he was actually a bit of the devil and they were real.
And well, anyway, one of the, a bit of the devil, a bit of the devil, honey, Timothy, you're, I'm sorry. You're 23. You were my son. I love you. Ma'amu. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, he asked all of us if you had to get rid of one of your relatives. Who would you get rid of? Mama. I had had a few, I had had a few, Harvey Walbingers, okay? You know how I get. What have you done, Mama? When I get a drop of the Harvey in me, I get a little crazy. And I'm, I said you, honey. Mama, no. I'm sorry. Not Timothy. I'm sorry. Mama. I, well, I didn't know it was real at the time. Turns out it's real. You can say that as a joke, Mama. Well, I didn't say it as a joke. I was answering the question honestly.
If it makes you feel any better, I also said that I would be baby spice if I had to be a spice girl. So that's why I have these pigtails now. Okay, it makes me feel a little better, but Mama, what does it mean? I gotta go? What's gonna happen to me? Yep. Go where? Timothy's scared. Timothy, I gotta be honest with you. Referring to yourself in the third person is part of the reason why you're going. Okay. Sorry. I don't know where the devil's gonna take you. I don't want to go, Mama. I want to stay, Mama. Mama don't make me go, Mama. Mama. Also, um, you, the way you called me Mama, like you're some kind of 1920s dust bowl character that I'm not a fan of either. I'll just pack my stuff. Oh, no, you don't get to take your things. Mama, what? I'm sorry. What can I do to change things? I want things to be as they were.
I, I don't know. You're gonna have to. Sorry. I'm sorry. It's out of my hands at this point. Hey, honey, honey, I love you. I didn't want to get rid of anybody. Love you. I'm staying, Mama. I didn't want to pick anybody, but this was like, I know you have to choose. It's a, a hard situation kind of a thing. What was I gonna do? Pick your father? No. Your sister? God, no. I'm not picking her. She's great. She calls me Mama. Oh, she refers to herself as I or me. I could do that. And not Dana, which is her name. I don't know what, I don't know what to do. Is he gonna come get me? Yeah, as far as I know. Do I just drop take it? He said, he said, I was allowed to say goodbye. And then, oh, is this goodbye? This is good, this is goodbye, honey. How about a hug? Won't that make things harder? I feel like it'll just make it harder. Oh, okay.
Oh, how about a firm handshake? Okay. That's your version of firm. Okay. Okay, mom. Very good, honey. It's not too late. What is for you? But I hope wherever you end up, you remember these lessons. And I don't know, see if you can, if you can work something out with the devil, then if he is willing to send you back. But otherwise, Harvey Walbinger promise, and he's kept, you gotta keep those. I'm sorry. I understand. A lady's got to have a code. Yeah. And I should, I should have been a better son. I should have learned how to speak, right? You're good. You said, I, see? I wish you would told me this. I still tell you to call him. Call him on the rotary phone, mom. Okay, honey, there's nothing. Oh, you hear that? Oh,
there's just a clap of thunder, and it's totally blew out. So, I guess that means he's here for you. Okay. Okay. Okay. Hey, Timothy. Oh, I have a bit of the devil at me. Yeah. Oh, excuse me, one second, I gotta comb my hair. Oh, yeah, mom. It's gorgeous. Honey, you can see, you can see why I, I, you can see why I got into the trouble that I got into. Oh, my God, in the horns. I know. Oh, my God. I am Timothy. I am Timothy, and you're my mom. So how younger are you? Like, is this your grandma or something? Oh, she will hate this. Okay. All right. I'm 23. I'm 23. Last night, you said I looked young. You the last hole. Well, that was after five Harvey Wallbangers in one blueberry decorate. Well, I'm ready to go. I don't know about you. I'm ready to go. Devil, is there anything we can do
to work this out? Sh, mom, you've been through so much. Mr. Devil, that seems wrong. Do you, do you have a name? Mr. Devil is my father's name. Call me John. John. It rhymes with mom. God, do you see why I wanted to get rid of him, right? Devil. Wait, I've always wanted someone to call me mama. What? Hmm, this is, it's been my life's one big dream. Oh, recently it was, it was taken away from me. What? Yeah, she doesn't like it, but you like it. Oh, oh, quiet mom. Hi, mama. Hi, mama. Oh, I just feel so right to hear. What is happening? I'm going to take you away from your mother the way that she took mama away from you. Oh, well, this is, I have devil, I had so much respect for you. What is going on?
You like that? You like being called mama? Like you're like you're in a John Steinbeck novel? Sure do, mama. Oh, my God. So funny, I'm ironically the only one here who's not mama. Yeah. We can make that happen. Oh, Timothy. God, I just want both of you gone right now. Do you want to stay? No, don't stay. Don't stay. No, devil. You said you, you, you promised. You told me not to call him that. And also, yeah, I have a bit of the devil in me. I mean, if I'm going to make someone uncomfortable by sticking around, then yeah, I'm probably going to do it. Oh, one question. She's stunning on me. I'm sorry, this is silly. Don't be sorry, Timothy. Thanks. It's just that I looked at the window and you pull up an old truck and I'm wondering if
the backfire of the truck is what we heard as the sun. I'm just what I'm wondering is, how do we really know you're the devil? I didn't want to say it, but yeah. Oh, well, all right, I didn't want to, I didn't want to do this, but here, I'm lifting up the back of my shirt so you can see the lower back tattoo that will prove incontrovertibly that I have a bit of the devil in me. Whoa, look at it right now and describe what you see. It's a goat holding a snake with an apple in its mouth and flipping off the sky. And right above that is Calvin peeing on both of them. Oh, mama. Uh, see.
