Summary

Special musical guests The Staves join John Gemberling, Eugene Cordero, Shaun Diston, and Matt Besser for this week's improv4humans. The Staves play songs that inspire scenes about a prison tattoo with terrible side effects, misunderstanding the concept of an Xbox, and a band that compliments every city but the one they're playing in. Plus, John has a hard time getting his name spelled correctly at Starbucks, and telekinetic children push the boundaries of acceptable behavior. This episode is sponsored by Casper Mattresses (www.casper.com/improv) and MVMT Watches (www.mvmtwatches.com/improv).

Wow, that's really great. That was great. So what was the inspiration? Now, when you guys write a song,

2:23.8

three sisters, now, does one person come with the idea? You all right, I'm sure you get this question all the time,

Okay, well, on this one, who's how did it come about? What was the inspiration?

2:46.8

I think I began that one that we just played. Yeah, I just had to be opening line to the song,
