[@countcoventry3802]

This is the first step in getting Travis to admit to being a furry

[@FraserConnell]

My favorite part about this is the singular "a jug." Griffin's word-pictures are the best.

[@dottyContrarian]

i JUST got it. i knew jug was supposed to be vagina, but i didn't know how or why

[@RhombusObstacle]

@@dottyContrarian "Jugs" is typically a term used to refer to breasts, so "a jug" is an unexpected turn of phrase. I'm not sure where you're getting vaginas from.

[@dottyContrarian]

@@RhombusObstacle oh

[@RFC-3514]

Of course it's singular. How would a chess bishop look like _two_ jugs?

griffin is absolutely right

[@canijust101]

1 hundo percent

[@doris.9230]

When I listened to this I said out loud with them "Queen, obviously" because I love a powerful lady.

[@omegasmileyface]

All chess pieces represent some sort of military figure, and that kind of nationalism is unsexy. However, a pawn that reaches the other side of the board and becomes a queen? That independence from the cause of defending the king, claiming authority from nothing and taking their own directive? Now *that's* sexy.

[@timothyscheneman1689]

I beg to differ. I think protecting your country is a very sexy thing.

[@FraserConnell]

The erotic novel just writes itself

[@BimpytheWimpyShrimpy]

*gasp!* _Sexy?_ They are _class traitors!_ Fair-weather proletarians, with dictatorial ambitions! Stalins, the whole lot of 'em! They're pulling an Anakin, and becoming the thing they where meant to destroy!

[@jonathanjernigan3865]

@@timothyscheneman1689 the country has nothing to do with it, those pieces are defending the king and the king alone

[@stopquinn]

i immediately thought knight but after a very short moment i changed my mind to bishop and then they said their answers and rook absolutely blindsided me

[@RhysezPieces]

First thought for bishop: clown nose

[@KitCabaret]

I mean we all know clowns are sexy

[@KitCabaret]

I'm DELIGHTED to see this clip animated already, it's just peak MBMBaM. The initial disagreement, Travis' surprisingly valid take on the knight's sexiness, and of course the one hit KO that is Griffin's last line. 10/10

[@maxenau5726]

my first thought was knight because it's the most aesthetically pleasing like *sexy* like that but when i realised it was like actually sexy my answer would probably be the queen also oh my god that fancam

[@JulesJuno737]

He's right the horse is the most pleasing to look at unless you got some limited edition special junk idk your setup.

[@madtheline2510]

The rook has himbo energy, change my mind

[@djangodakoti5242]

I was SO happy you made this. I just listened to episode yesterday and laughed so hard I had to pull over in my car. I was just like "I cannot WAIT until this is animated" 🙏

[@catzrule001]

wow i absolutely can't. i love Justin on the date with the rook. perfect. i thought this was about the show Queen's Gambit on Netflix but apparently it's just. It's own thing. And I love that for us. thank you for making me feel better after a bad day!!! i appreciate you and your art.

[@akasoozie]

How is this up ALREADY?! Fantastic, job, @Fraserconnell. We were all dreaming up the animatic potential but you turned up and turned it out! Thank you for your incredible talent!!!

[@Ian-th3np]

i love the knight fan cam great touch

[@mikalpeterson1937]

I can’t believe only 1/3 of the brothers were right. The rook would treat me right. The rook is straight forward and protective.

[@OrlindeEarfalas]

The knight fancam omg!! Amazing work, I loved the date with the rook but!!

[@Les_Bane_Bea]

Justin: we know our place *sidney will remember that*

[@teddyholdon]

Okay but who wouldn't immediately go for the bishop? It's so smooth and curvy and pretty.

[@froggyplatypus]

It can either be a peepee or a jug.

[@elihere]

CheckMate is such a big brain idea lmfaoooo

[@ghostprime6320]

I gotta agree with Travis. His reasoning was strange but I said knight too.

[@liriodendronlasianthus]

I thought knight too but in a similar way. If I had money, I'd wear a buff stallion fursuit.

[@DiagonelleDAvignon]

I appreciate the work that went into looking up footage of knight chess pieces, especially the ones of hands fondleing the knight piece

[@deftrascal1626]

When I heard this I couldn't wait to see someone make an animatic for it, I did not expect to see it this quickly, tysm

[@Zeroist1000]

As I was listening to this episode, I was picturing how it’d be animated. Good job

[@jessicar9743]

Okay but real talk? Trav is right. In terms of sexy meaning "aesthetically pleasing," the knight is the sexiest piece. Don't at me, I'm asexual.

[@iRickiCharlie666]

Jessica, I'm so angry I had this exact thought process and im also ace

[@kogasfurryjorts5963]

No joke, also ace, also had the exact same thought. Is this the ace litmus test?

[@timothyscheneman1689]

Not asexual, but I immediately thought bishop because of all the curves

[@beta5696]

Am ace. Also thought Knight instantly without thinking.

[@mozarteanchaos]

tbf pushing aside the whole Horse thing, knights do have the most pleasing shape. it's a nice curve... not too symmetrical, not too off-center... if it's worth anything, i'm demi

[@todorokishoto3058]

"Griffin, I have never once been funny on this show." The other two's reactions to 80% of Trav's jokes would indicate that to be true.

Griffin chose the bishop because he has a thing for Frollo~ That's my two cents

I keep thinking about the question but I genuinely can’t think of an answer even as a goof, I am simply not attracted to chess pieces.

When I first listened to this episode I said “Queen” and honestly I think that’s just the lesbian

[@timedforpress]

It’s gotta be the king, he’s your literal ride or die.

[@gljames24]

I went with Queen. I might be punching up.

[@Dr.JeremyDunks]

A pawn is basically a butt plug, boys.

[@heyheyitsjae2475]

Rook was my first choice, but bishop is sexy too

[@LAngel2REAL]

My immediate thought was Bishop FOR the religious aspect alone.

[@LieseFury]

idk about everyone else but few sentences are less sexy to me than "I believe in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior"

[@sugaxshyxtype]

Good lord, I just listened to this episode last night! I'm assuming you knocked this out within a week? You work fast!

[@anaisfenette6834]

I... have seen this video before, multiple times. And JUST NOW read the title as "Cheese Pieces"

[@notinspectorgadget]

Griffin said Bishop because..........ya knowww ;)

[@ASeed17]

I'm ace, but my mind went immediately to bishop, so I get where Griffin is coming from.

[@OnyxLotus]

Obviously the queen is the sexiest. A strong woman who can go any direction and as far as she wants.

[@HannahAndSunny]

Gonna need a link to that knight fancam 👀👀👀

[@grumpygato99]

I love that they don't go for king or queen because "we know out place"

[@Atuchy]

I never would have said bishop but your animation of a bishop is SEXY

[@izzie2194]

the correct answer is queen because she can do whatever the hell she wants. she almost has every ability of everything else on the board. they Wish they had her range. also i like how the queen piece looks. honestly i think you should have to take the king and queen in order to win. that raises the stakes and makes the game more exciting and unpredictable.

[@merelymayhem]

th- the clips on travis phone xD

[@Pseudonymonic]

Slightly disappointed this wasn't the other chess related incident in this episode, but whatever still a great animation.

[@FraserConnell]

Omg hahaha
