The energy in here is always fun. It's always youthful. Not only that, you know they

nation? Little shout out. What? Oh, yeah. To all those monster squatters out there. And, uh,

who isn't that special? Wait, isn't that special? Is that to the monster squatters? Or is that

also to spoon everybody? Okay. So even if you're not affiliated with one of those particular

tribes, you still get a isn't that special. I'll have the church lady, David Carvey's character
