Mulaney presents Everybody's in LA debuting May

0:18

3rd live at 7 p.m. Pacific Time,

0:20

only on Netflix. Hey

0:22

everybody, it's Love It. Before we get to

0:24

the show today, I mentioned this on Ponce

0:26

of America, but I also wanted to let

0:28

you know here, I am taking a couple

0:30

weeks off to work on something. I don't

0:33

want to say more now, but I'm very

0:35

excited to tell you about it when I'm

0:37

back and have no fear while I'm out.

0:39

We've lined up an absolutely bonkers lineup of

0:41

guest hosts, Maria Bamford, Andy Richter, Louis Vertell,

0:43

Larry Wilmore, Adam Rippon, Matt Rogers, Ian Carmel,

0:45

Langston Kerman and Guy Branham. This week we

0:47

kick things off with two comedy legends. We

0:49

have Maria Bamford on today's show and Andy

0:52

Richter hosting the live show, Tickets

0:54

for that show with Andy, which records

0:56

on Thursday night. That's two days from

0:58

now are on sale and will go

1:00

fast. Get tickets for that show and

1:03

all of these special shows at crooked.com/events.

1:05

And listen, am I worried that

1:07

they're gonna be too good and I'll no longer

1:09

be able to run through the hall shouting, I

1:11

am the talent, I am the only

1:13

indispensable person. Yeah, sure, I

1:15

am worried about them. Anyway, see you in a few

1:17

weeks. I'll be back for our first tour show

1:20

in North Carolina next month, but without further ado,

1:22

onto the show with our very

1:24

first guest host, the incredible, the

1:27

legendary, the one and only Maria

1:29

Bamford. Avid listener of the

1:31

show, Becky, it's the Indiana primary today

1:33

and she seems to be working the

1:35

polls. And she posted that she

1:38

didn't know that they make the poll workers

1:40

say, hear ye, hear ye, the polls are

1:42

open. And I think make

1:44

might be a strong word having worked the

1:46

polls in New Jersey before and

1:48

having never heard that. I think that might be an

1:51

Indiana thing. And I'm wondering if anyone else has worked

1:53

the polls and ever heard that. How

1:56

weirdly specific and archaic. Hear ye, hear

1:58

ye. I

2:01

think the Renaissance Fair is also going on right now.

2:03

It is, yep. So

2:05

many of my friends were at that this weekend.

2:08

And I do feel there's a heavy crossover

2:10

between Red Fair goers and people who

2:12

genuinely care about voting. I feel

2:14

like that seems right. Yeah. Did

2:17

the people opening the polls also have a little

2:20

flask of whiskey between their breasts?

2:23

No, but that's a great question. That

2:25

would get people out there. That would get volunteers. Yeah. It's

2:28

just an overlooked voter outreach program. It's just

2:30

like set up booths at Ren Faire. Yes,

2:32

it's historically inaccurate, but it's happening in that

2:34

market one on one. We should be doing

2:36

that. We should be doing

2:38

that. Both Save America. Why are we not the Ren Faire?

2:41

Turkey legs for all. Hi,

2:54

I'm Maria Bamford. I'm the guest host.

2:57

Love it or leave it. What a

3:00

weekday. Thank you

3:02

for having me. Let's get into it.

3:07

R.F.K. Jr. landed an endorsement from

3:09

a very recognizable name this week. Discreased

3:12

actor Kevin Spacey. Spacey

3:14

tweeted in support of Kennedy's presidential bid saying,

3:18

There's a lot I can learn from this man.

3:20

When the world turned its back on me,

3:22

Bobby leaned in. He's a formidable

3:24

fighter for justice. And a

3:26

loyal friend that's not afraid to stand

3:28

up for what he believes. Was

3:31

that a terrible impersonation?

3:33

It sent chills up my spine. It really

3:35

did, which is an appropriate effect. What was he

3:37

doing every Christmas? He would release an ominous video

3:39

that we all had to watch for some reason.

3:41

He reminded us not a lot. Yeah.

3:45

Well, as an advocate for mental health, I'd

3:48

like to say that crazy is not a

3:50

diagnosis. R.F.K. Jr. is

3:52

not one of us. I am a certified peer

3:54

specialist with the state of California, and I can

3:56

acknowledge, though, that R.F.K. Jr. does have symptoms of

3:58

spasmat in the state of California. Sania

4:00

an idiot. The give

4:02

us a hundred and

4:04

both say says no

4:06

for things. It's possible.

4:08

To disappear a dumb dumb

4:11

and not need meds at

4:13

all. This

4:16

week we get into the sexiest

4:18

part of some of us Money

4:20

trial the boots he brings. I

4:22

had to see numbers a sexy

4:24

my. Hubby had his credit score of

4:26

five fifty on a first date eight

4:28

I asked him for his credit for

4:30

4:34

4:36

I. I build them back for

4:43

That to take a look at

4:45

the allegedly sake records behind Trump

4:47

still teeth for felony charges of

4:50

falsifying records x Trump Organisation Controller

4:52

Jeffrey Mccartney testified about the top

4:54

payments thirty five thousand and made

4:56

to comes fixer Michael Cohen in

4:59

the last days of Trump's Twenty

5:01

sixteen Presidential campaign. And I know

5:03

what you're thinking. Truck controller, No

5:05

One Control that man. Is. Split.

5:14

Said the money was progress on

5:16

com org. Cooper. Work as

5:18

Cohen's retainer. However, Cohen did not have

5:20

a retainer with the company of the

5:23

times, but judging by the bottom row,

5:25

maybe it should have done the Michael

5:27

Collins invisible Line. Is. Of

5:31

that. The premise came from one

5:33

of Trump's personal. Details and

5:35

what lack of consent? Trump's ten

5:37

Ninety Nine storm is L L

5:40

C from is heavy breathing as.

5:42

School or. We've.

5:45

all first payments for deductions

5:48

mice get to snoop dogg

5:50

slip burns don't count as

5:52

it's still system has three

5:55

santa margarita as i just

5:57

drank alone our research Maybe

6:00

Trump needs a spending budget. What

6:03

he needs to do, you set aside a paper

6:05

envelope and you put in bubble letters

6:07

on it in pink, sex

6:09

worker hash money, and

6:12

then any time you have an extra dollar you put it

6:14

in the envelope. Wait, next time you need it, it's

6:16

there. Prosecutors

6:18

allege the money was reimbursement for

6:20

the cash Cohen paid Stormy Daniels

6:22

in exchange for her silence while

6:24

sleeping with Donald Trump. On the

6:26

other hand, That's

6:29

just natural. You

6:31

keep quiet about it. Keep it on the DL.

6:34

After McConnie finished testifying, Trump

6:36

appeared to give him two

6:38

fist pump gestures as he

6:41

lifted the stand. What?

6:45

I can't believe that's real. He's

6:47

kind of physically falling apart because he's also

6:49

falling asleep and farting. I feel like his

6:51

body's just losing control. Like, contaving in

6:53

on itself. Did

6:56

he let out a couple of goose? Marie,

6:58

I wish he'd been here the last two weeks. He was part

7:01

of a storm. Now he's just gesturing wildly. It's

7:03

like an Adam Sandler movie in here. Oh

7:05

my goodness, kind of. I want to

7:07

say the world wonderful. I want to say wonderful. That's

7:10

so gross and wonderful. His

7:13

fist pump gestures could either mean McConnie

7:15

met Trump's expectations or he's

7:17

experienced a specific type of tinnitus

7:19

where you occasionally hear the opening

7:21

bars of the village people's eyes

7:24

and see it. Also on

7:26

Monday, Judge Juan Mertán found

7:28

Trump in contempt for the 10th

7:30

time for violating

7:33

his gag order. Threatening, threatening

7:35

the former president with

7:37

jail time if he continues. You do

7:39

that just an 11th month more time.

7:45

So thank you. Can

7:47

we literally gag him at this point or have

7:49

Stormy do it because she's the only professional in

7:52

this courtroom? Judge

7:54

Mertán. Mr. Trump, it's

7:57

important. This might prefer, this

7:59

sounds a lot like my other

8:01

impersonation of a man. Mr.

8:03

Trump, it's important you understand the last thing

8:05

I want you to do is put you

8:08

in jail. Really? Why

8:10

would that be the last thing? I

8:12

mean, don't you as a judge kind of

8:14

want to have or be kind of

8:17

not on the fence about putting you

8:19

on the field of training? You

8:21

are the former president of the United States and

8:23

possibly the next president as well. Oh

8:26

my gosh, don't remind me. I said everyone

8:28

in the courtroom in a chorus. Find

8:30

Trump $1,000. Adding

8:33

to his previous clients of $9,000, a

8:36

grand for each violation. There

8:38

goes the spray tan budget. It's a good

8:40

thing he gets the tense visit free.

8:43

That's how it works. Outside

8:47

in what we hope is a bit

8:49

of viral marketing, several people in masks

8:51

from the home invasion horror movie, The

8:53

Stranger Stood staring at the courthouse. Yeah,

8:56

sort of an assembly of terrifying masked

8:58

individuals. It kind of evokes the viral

9:00

marketing that they were doing for that movie Smile

9:02

a few years ago. Oh my God. If

9:05

you remember that. People were smiling at baseball games, basically

9:07

sitting behind the home plate. Oh

9:09

my God, that's terrifying. They

9:12

found a way to make this all more unsettling. Yeah,

9:14

not great. Not a great development. I think we could

9:16

all agree. This is clearly

9:18

political commentary. I think they're referencing how Trump

9:21

sat on his hand before putting it into

9:23

the Bible to be sworn in. I don't

9:25

know the reference to this pudding. No,

9:28

we did talk about

9:31

this together to put this joke in.

9:33

I was very honored. I didn't write it. It's

9:35

not my joke. No, you sit on your sleeping hand.

9:37

Your hand. That's fine. You sit on

9:39

your normal hand. It falls asleep when you sit on

9:41

it. Yeah. And then you masturbate with

9:43

it. You masturbate with it because you don't know what your

9:45

hand is doing. Your right hand doesn't know what your left

9:47

hand is doing. Has anyone

9:50

read the Bible? Okay. We're

9:52

putting it on the Bible to be sworn

9:55

in. Okay, the F. I'm going to move

9:57

on. The FAA opened

9:59

a new infestation. And.

10:02

We've got to the company

10:04

that a cool pull her

10:06

mom have concluded and focus

10:08

on for whom buying seventy

10:10

seven Dreamliner defending planes will

Meanwhile, Boeing Star Liner Space

10:16

capsule were set to be

10:18

launched Monday night. the programs

10:20

first launch carrying human pilots.

10:22

I'm sorry they're letting. So.

10:30

Sorry if you're sick of hearing about challenges

10:32

lately, but I believe we have another challenge

10:34

or on. The way. That

10:36

back off on a father of a

10:38

murder or. Oh however the

10:41

loss is called off due to

10:43

was stuck valve. And

10:46

my right to start a minor.

Program. Has dealt with a number

10:51

of problems on his journey into

10:55

after clock was set to the

10:57

wrong time and causes the engine

10:59

thrusters two nights too early but

11:01

the ignited it at exactly the

11:03

right time. If you live in

11:05

Cupertino, the move to the Bowling

11:08

Star. Winner! You. Gotta see

11:10

that's everyone suffers some imposter syndrome

11:12

every now and I'm don't let

11:14

anyone tell you are an aircraft

11:16

save for Cumin passenger or that

11:18

you don't have the right amount

11:20

of bolts that you don't have

11:22

to go to school Said at

11:24

this week's mans launch was initially

11:26

scheduled to last year but was

11:28

scuttled after was discovered to keep

11:30

excuse to wrap drifts of seat

11:33

of wearing was flammable in addition

11:35

to the crash. Parachute lines

11:37

being reviewed. Through. The unexpected.

11:40

Hurry to. Leave Earth is is sitting.

11:44

On my eye or sorry this

11:46

is where you find out it's

11:48

all bad ago that appearances. You rather

11:50

at this point get in a spacecraft.

11:52

Manufactured by Boeing or a

11:55

spacecraft manufactured by Spacex. These.

11:57

Exercises I. Had man launches.

12:00

that actually did work. And honestly, when

12:02

we were writing this, I was like, boy, I feel bad

12:04

that making you talk about the news, and it seemed to

12:06

be worse when this shuttle explodes,

12:08

and then they literally stopped it because

12:10

it had a malfunction. Like, it, listen,

12:13

I don't wanna get sued by Boeing, but something is bad

12:15

wrong over there. It's not something you

12:17

really wanna leave up to chance

12:19

in any way. I say we

12:22

let the, I believe it's a

12:24

worker-owned company, Southwest, get

12:26

in on this. You're on

12:28

a shot. Is that Southwest worker owned? No,

12:31

it's not. Oh, okay. I feel

12:33

like, wow. Wouldn't that be a workplace? Wouldn't that

12:35

be wonderful? It should be. It should be, and

12:37

then it could also make stops on

12:40

the way to space. All

12:43

right, all right. Hey,

15:19

Sanders announced he'll be seeking a fourth

15:21

term this week. In his announcement video,

15:24

82-year-old Vermont Senator railed against

15:26

pharmaceutical companies, called for global

15:29

cuts to carbon emissions and

15:31

demanded the nation codify Roe versus

15:34

Wade. I'm half his age. Am

15:36

I half his age? No, I'm very

15:38

close to his age. And I'm

15:41

exhausted just getting through this monologue.

15:43

So good for him. Give him

15:45

hell, Bernie. Bernie

15:47

also said of Trump versus Biden. This

15:50

2024 election is

15:52

the most consequential election in

15:55

our lifetimes. Will

15:57

the United States continue to even

15:59

function? as a democracy

16:02

or will we move to an authoritarian

16:04

form of government? His skin

16:06

is glowing. He looks great.

16:08

He does. The extremely

16:10

olden and firm are now taking her job. I

16:14

say we build a curb. Over

16:17

the weekend, 50 Nome defended

16:19

shooting her baby puppy cricket as

16:23

described in the South Dakota Governor's new

16:25

memoir, The Lady Just

16:27

Killed Dogs Too Much. While

16:31

a guest on CBS's Face the

16:34

Nation, Nome declared that

16:36

it is President Biden's dog commander

16:38

who should be put down. Joe

16:41

Biden's dog has attacked 24 Secret Service

16:43

people. So how

16:45

many people is enough people to be

16:47

attacked and dangerously hurt before you

16:49

make a decision on a dog and what to do with

16:51

it? Well, he's not living at the White House anymore. That's

16:54

the question that the president should be held accountable to. Never

16:57

not surprising that her full glam is the full

16:59

glam of a New Jersey housewife. It's never not

17:01

shocking. Oh, I'm going to get, when I get

17:03

my face left, that's what it's going to look

17:05

like. You're going to rip off my head.

17:07

Like that's what I want. That, like,

17:09

her face is gone. Yeah, yeah. Like

17:12

there are no remnants of what

17:14

personality was once there. Oh,

17:17

I hope she's okay. Otherwise, someone

17:19

will have to take her out back. Save

17:21

everyone time. If

17:26

instead of doing it this way, Nome just

17:28

listed the dog. She doesn't want to shoot.

17:31

Nome's memoir itself takes a shot

17:33

at Commander Biden, who has famously bitten

17:35

over two dozen Secret Service members, joking

17:38

about what she'd do if she made

17:40

it to the White House and the

17:42

German Shepherd was on the premises. Sorry,

17:45

two dozen. Two dozen.

17:49

Commander has taken down more Secret Service

17:51

agents than Blow and a night of

17:53

gambling at a taxpayer expense. Laundry Resort, am I

17:55

right? Come on, anybody? There it is, there it

17:57

is. at

18:00

Laughlin Casino that I'm playing at in

18:02

my mind. This is proof that the

18:04

book is not good, as there are

18:06

full chapters about the dog she wants

18:09

to kill the most. Snoopy.

18:13

Now, she did not mention Snoopy. She had

18:15

a couple of... That's for the sequel. That's

18:17

for the sequel, right. Noam wrote

18:19

in her book, Commander, Say

18:22

Hello to Cricket. This

18:24

is from her one-woman show

18:26

titled, Gavina Scarface, My Dog.

18:29

Who knows, to whoever a gnome circle, Triple Dog

18:31

dared her with this one. She has taken it

18:34

quite literally, and my hat is off to you.

18:36

Good sir, ma'am. When

18:38

asked about the story Monday,

18:40

White House press secretary, Karim

18:42

Jean-Pierre told reporters, Here,

18:44

this is a country that loves

18:46

dogs, and you have a

18:48

leader talking about putting

18:51

dogs down, killing them. And

18:53

that's a disturbing statement to

18:55

say. I would say to

18:58

her, she probably should

19:00

stop digging herself in a hole. And start

19:02

digging holes for all the dogs she plants

19:04

and killing. Noam

19:09

vowed to hunt down

19:11

and kill over 40,000

19:14

dogs this year, which

19:16

is the average number of Americans killed

19:18

per year by guns, because guns don't

19:20

kill people. Women kill dogs.

19:23

On Monday, President Biden placed a

19:26

call to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin

19:28

Netanyahu to discuss, in part, efforts

19:30

to secure a hostage deal. This

19:32

is why a phone call is so important. Texting,

19:35

it's really hard to know tone.

19:38

You need to use punctuation

19:41

or an emoji when you're talking

19:43

to someone older. I

19:46

live in Los Angeles, of course,

19:48

and the dog park is a

19:50

place where often the topic of

19:53

war comes up. And

19:59

yeah, it's hard to know. where people stand

20:01

because it's a hot issue.

20:04

So you think you know

20:06

how people aren't oriented, you

20:08

know, by how they name their dog?

20:11

Is your dog Goldie

20:14

for Golda

20:16

my year? Or is it, you

20:18

know, it's hard to know where

20:20

people stand. Yeah, just to find

20:22

yourself having the most intense conversations

20:24

in it of human history. Like

20:26

these are like existential questions that

20:28

it's like, so what's

20:31

your what's your weeder dog's name?

20:33

Oh, I like his little handkerchief, you know,

20:35

and then to immediately get into it, it is

20:37

so hard. I feel like that's, you know, like

20:39

everyone is experiencing that. I don't even have a

20:41

dog. I don't feel like about that dog park.

20:44

Personally, I choose my conversations at the dog park

20:46

based on how many black people your dog has

20:48

barked at. Maria.

20:51

Muffin, uh, Muffin mostly

20:56

barks just at bigger dogs. Okay,

20:58

that's great. So, um, yeah,

21:01

as far as I know, um, she's

21:04

she's a really good girl. She wouldn't

21:06

tell you, of course, I'm sure. Yeah,

21:09

she's a really good girl. She has

21:11

five dresses and they were not all,

21:14

some of them were gifts. Well,

21:17

the one thing I do know about the dog

21:19

park that we have, it's that it's illegal and

21:21

there are no fences. So,

21:23

hmm, this sounds like the southern yard

21:25

or something. Yeah, no. It's using a backyard. The

21:28

sheriff stops by and says, hey, you

21:30

gotta leash up. I don't know if

21:33

that's a metaphor for

21:35

human rights everywhere, but, um, almost

21:38

certainly not. I love that the sheriff is showing

21:40

up to your dog park, yet the

21:43

lights were out at one of the most

21:45

dangerous intersections in North Hollywood this morning and

21:47

there wasn't a cop to be found. That's

21:49

not their priority. When I first moved here,

21:51

there was a car just stuck in an

21:53

intersection for three days. I was like, LA

21:56

is a different kind of place. Yeah. Intersection. I'm

21:58

sorry. Same here. I'm trying

22:00

to remember which one it was. Damn.

22:04

I'm really sorry. I'm bad at everything Someone

22:07

who basically does not drive Yeah,

22:10

you know that one where it's down there and

22:12

you that that one big one there I waxer

22:15

It's not silver like but it's like not

22:18

too far away. Yeah. Sorry. I got I

22:20

mean, I'm incorporated Los Angeles I'm in Altadena.

22:22

So we have the sheriff. Otherwise, no the

22:24

LAPD does not show up Unless

22:26

of course you're mentally ill and you're wielding

22:29

a screwdriver then they would like to shoot you in

22:31

the head That's sorry.

22:33

Was that too dark? No We

22:42

can do this horror after horror, so I think

22:44

there's a value in acknowledging that It's

22:47

true. It's true. My husband and

22:49

I we give 11% of our income to charity, which

22:51

is one I don't want to get in the fight

22:53

about this but it is 1% better

22:55

than Christians or Jews. I Sayin

22:59

we're getting into all the afterlives

23:03

What it's based on So

23:05

we've given that all to doctors about borders, but

23:07

then I was like, well, you

23:09

know, is that good? You know, it's like

23:11

you deep dive on anything and it's like

23:13

well, the thing is with doctors without borders.

23:16

Is that they're French Medicine

23:23

fluff softball jail. Yeah,

23:26

everyone is exactly where you're at right now and Kendra

23:29

Chris, that's why that's why I only donate

23:31

to figure skating charity Well,

23:36

no, this is something I've said

23:39

before is that I know

23:41

actors sometimes get into politics But

23:43

comedians often have very interesting

23:45

premises of ways to be escalate

23:48

conflict I once heard a

23:50

guy at a go bananas in Cincinnati suggests

23:52

that we send in a marching band into

23:55

the Middle East That the

23:57

purposefulness and positivity of a high

23:59

school school marching band might really

24:01

just take people out of

24:04

their mindset for a

24:06

second. I think there's something to

24:08

that. I think part of the reason people

24:10

are mad at college protestors is that they're not broken

24:12

and bitter yet. So they

24:14

have a theater kid marching band energy. They're like,

24:16

can you believe this? It's like, well, yeah, they're

24:18

18. They

24:21

don't know yet. Not like they

24:23

don't know, but it's like, well, yeah, let's

24:25

celebrate that enthusiasm or that optimism. What else

24:27

are we going to do? Yeah, I mean,

24:29

I could protest. My first protest

24:31

was the Gulf War, where I unfortunately put

24:34

on my face what I thought was the

24:36

peace sign. It turned out to be a

24:38

Mercedes Benz logo. It

24:41

really does represent what I do. I

24:45

do love luxury goods. And

24:47

I don't mind that. But

24:50

have any of you gone to the protests

24:52

that have been on the college campuses? I've

24:56

been to the colleges. I went to a

24:58

couple earlier this year. And

25:01

I just want to say, it is the Mercedes Benz

25:03

logo or peace sign. And that kind of is the

25:05

decision we're all facing. That

25:08

actually is 100%. Yeah. Yeah.

25:10

So we're all talking about. Yeah. It's

25:13

been most protest for me. I think one

25:15

of the most valuable things that I've been

25:17

able to do is not donating necessarily to

25:19

charities, large scale charities, but doing a lot

25:21

of mutual aid and direct aid. Oh,

25:23

that's great. I fucked

25:26

up. Hey,

25:28

there's still plenty of time, unfortunately. Yeah.

25:31

Unfortunately. The world's not getting any better. There's plenty

25:33

of time to try and help. Hasn't

25:37

war ever been sponsored

25:39

commercially? Maybe not blatantly, but...

25:42

But yeah, certainly. There are certainly

25:44

brands, I will say, that had

25:46

a name made for themselves in

25:48

World War II, unfortunately. Right. Speaking

25:50

of Boeing, I mean, Biden just stopped

25:52

a shipment of Boeing weapons. And

25:55

it's like, yep, so that I will get out of Boeing

25:57

plane and have it explode in the sky? It is, yeah,

25:59

like... then out there sponsoring it overtly

26:01

I suppose is

26:03

aren't they I guess yeah

26:06

Coco Chanel Hugo Boss Mercedes they're

26:08

all like very connected to me

26:11

kid Germany no

26:13

and you had that pin on your face for yeah well well

26:15

well well I was Phi

26:22

Delta but I'm sure

26:25

there's something bad about that

26:27

mother told me that

26:31

was an important to have brand

26:33

loyalty which is I'm a

26:36

Hilton diamond member I get it

26:38

really oh my god that means

26:40

you get Swedish fish when you

26:42

check in and a warm cookie

26:44

at some of them oh no

26:46

double tree yeah come on

26:49

but I've got to say the double

26:52

tree cookie has gotten smaller oh

26:54

and this is the kind of thing that's

26:57

keeping me from acting on a grassroots

27:00

level politically

27:02

all right

27:05

okay and finally Nicolas

27:08

Cage and FKA twigs are

27:10

set to star in a horror movie about

27:12

the childhood of Jesus Christ and

27:14

personally I think they nailed the casting Christ

27:20

is claimed as a character in

27:23

the Christian Muslim and Jewish

27:25

front franchises in Jerusalem

27:28

so there should be no problem with

27:30

the copyrights they're calling the movie Jesus

27:32

Christ spooky star ending great

27:37

ending great marina such a treat we really

27:39

appreciate it so much more than we love you

29:46

It's my pleasure to be here.

29:48

Oh, and it's Froot Loops, just

29:51

so you know. same

30:00

way you say, Stoo-dio.

30:03

That's not how we say it. Fruit

30:06

Loops finds the loopy side!

30:10

They say plants like music. Yeah, no, like

30:12

really, they respond to the vibrations of it,

30:14

which means that this playlist you're listening to,

30:16

the plants are too. You

30:18

know what else plants like? Organic soil

30:21

from Miracle-Gro. It's made with all the

30:23

best stuff like wood, fiber, and compost.

30:25

Plus, it's Omri-certified organic, which officially means

30:28

it's made with superior ingredients. And when

30:30

you give your plants the stuff that

30:32

makes them happy, they won't judge you

30:34

on your iffy playlist. Hear that, plants?

30:37

So go ahead and give them Miracle-Gro.
