Hey, y'all, just want to give you a quick update on our Midwest tour because it's closing in fast. We are currently sold out in Des Moines, Detroit, and Cleveland, but tickets are still available in Indianapolis, St. Louis, St. Paul, Milwaukee, and Chicago. If you all haven't joined us for an in-person version of the show, it is so much fun and truly a night filled with magic. Tickets are available at supercarlin brothers.com

slash events and can be found in all of the obvious places.

We can't wait to see you in September.

You've got this new head filled up with smoke.

I've got my veins all tangled.

Close to the jukebox buys you frequent by the safest way to hide.

I'm unfamiliar with this tune.

Long nights filled with your most obvious weakness.

Is this from the train concert you went to?

No, it's just from, yeah.

It's taking back Sunday.

Anyway, are you ready? Yeah. Yeah. It's taking back Sunday. Anyway. Um, are you ready?

Yeah. What?

Hi, everybody.

Hello and welcome to popcorn culture.

My name is Ben Carlin, and I am your host here with me.

Today's my brother Jay, who will be in every episode.

I'm literally back this time.

Except for the last one.

Except for the last episode where Alice was here.

We have now, me and you, we are now tied for the number of episodes. We've both been in. No, we've both been because there was that time when you weren't here. I had COVID one time. You had COVID and I decided to like do the intro for a little bit. Yeah. So it's not even like you'd even did like an episode like without me. You just like came in and like technically like we're present to let people know like what was going on and whatnot. Yeah. But, but still like, you know, now, now we're here. It was interesting. Yeah. Like I haven't listened to that episode with you and Alice yet. I'm going to. Okay. But then so we did that for popcorn culture. And then for, um, through the Gry we were able to record the regular episode, but then for the after show, the hourly, we call it, where we answer questions. Like, we each answered the same question, but separately. Yeah, we didn't, we didn't know what the other person said. Yeah. So, and it was like a lore question, like a what if scenario. So it was sort of like, where did our minds wander without the other person to bounce off of? Yes. And it sounds like we went to different places. Different places entirely. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it was, it was interesting to me as well, uh, because like it ended up being a, a supercarlin brother's video script. It did. It did. Yeah. Well, I came up and they were asking, you know, what did I say? And then they kind of told me a little bit of what you said. And then like I sent you the script after I sort of finished writing it and you had a couple

of different like changes here and there to try to incorporate some of the stuff they said you said. Um, and I think it came together pretty good. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it was, it was great. This was the, the question in question was what if Maropee Gaunt had not given up her son, Tom Riddle.
