“It’s actually about origami.” Is low key one of Travis’ best joke. You gotta know when to fold em.

[@anthonycurby4606]

And when to run. Some people really hate origami

[@xWasabiNekoProx]

"Little known fact, it's about origami." THAT JOKE WAS FUCKING AMAZING HOW DID THEY NOT NOTICE IT

[@swampmop]

could you explain? i'm totally missing the joke 😩

[@xWasabiNekoProx]

That's okay! In the song they're talking about, a part of the hook is "You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em" and the origami joke was about the folding part.

[@swampmop]

+TanookiPants oh!!!! thank you for explaining hahaha these boys are so clever

[@blahmarduk]

TanookiPants I think they had a whole bit about missing Travis's best jokes not too long ago

[@StinkySmellyGoblin]

do you know what ep or if that's on youtube??

[@spore4ever91]

“Ya gotta level up Chie Satonaka, Until she learns Bufu, use it in boss fights, die in your sleep.” Is literally SENDING me

[@Onitramm]

"the best thing you can hope for is to die in your sleep, allow me to demonstrate"

[@rungus8005]

the url of this video literally has "gOOFs" in it. youtube knows what's up

[@TurboNemesis]

I'm playing Persona 4 right now and I cannot stop singing "level up Chie Satonaka, till she learns Bufu, use it in boss fights, die in your sleep"

[@marissarae]

My kid is playing TOTK and I will not stop singing, "You gotta go to Kakariko Village…"

[@MissMystery1412]

SAME it STILL plays in my head any time I use bufu in a persona game

[@care1essange1s]

I woke up and heard that Kenny Rogers had passed away, and this was the first thing that came to mind. RIP.

[@beefant6213]

he did pass peacefully, assuming he died in his sleep...

[@TheVeteranROB]

I'm wearin' all his rings and I stole his iden-ty This has been the plot to Now You See Me 3 I'm dying

[@Laggity]

Ascended Paisano in your sleep.

[@BambooRocketVideoNonsense]

Fuck~

[@ducktelepathy8352]

Every time I hear The Gambler, I think of Mr. Rogers’ excellent Ocarina of Time walkthrough

[@son0of0the0beast]

"The Gamer" by Kenny Rogers

[@Mekasoundwave]

>yfw you actually DO die in your sleep in a Persona game my god Kenny Rogers is a genius

[@Drilling4mana]

Speedrun Persona 3 by dying in your sleep on night 1

[@Dabednego]

The end of Persona three changed me as a person

[@Mekasoundwave]

RIP Kenny. You were the greatest gambler.

[@TheJakev91489]

I wonder who the new greatest gambler is?

[@masterofthetear8138]

"And then I felt the quickenin'!"

[@WildWaver]

Kenny Rogers: Dies Me: Wait wasn't there a MBMBAM bit abt that dude

[@angmering5899]

RIP Mr Rodgers. You taught the world how to love and how to beat Tetris.

[@MrKurgan69]

What does Mr Rodgers have to do with the gambler?

[@spookhy699]

And then he died in his sleep. 😔

[@GannJerrod]

I guess Chie finally learned bufu, rest in RIP.

[@AlexanderHarris]

LEVEL UP CHIE SATONAKA UNTIL SHE LEARNS BUFU USE IT IN BOSS FIGHTS DIE IN YOUR SLEEP Poetry. :'D

[@gadiac89]

Thank you! I had no idea what Griffin was referencing and you provided me with the proper spelling to google.

[@AlexanderHarris]

***** - Haha, no problem. Persona 4 is a really good RPG with a fun story. I highly recommend it.

[@reynoldssmith6696]

Griffin making a persona reference brought me so much joy

[@ultimateninjaboi]

To quote Tim Hawkins: On a warm summers evening I met a man who played cards well But he died at the table So i took all of his money

[@cowsharkdefin6376]

Press TAB + G Now you're in God Mode Kill Robot Hitler Die in your sleep

[@Lily-bj9xu]

"I'm gonna kill myself with whiskey now" Christ that almost killed me

[@Cindyisadog]

this bit never fails to bust my gut

[@Cindyisadog]

oh no i shouldnt have said it that way i thought i was being clever by saying a thing the boys say but it just looks like nut

[@GippyHappy]

@@Cindyisadogthis bit makes me bust my nut

[@endsign3935]

Bloodbourne Executive Producer: Kenny Rogers

[@musicjail]

This one actually answers the question pretty well

[@ThePoltergust5000]

The URL is gOOFs

[@InvisibleInque]

I hope somewhere, somehow, someway, that Griffin knows that I am playing Persona 4 right now. I have leveled up Chie Satonaka, she has leaned Bufu, and I have used it in boss fights. And I will be thinking about the Gambler for the rest of the game.

[@jamesfgreer]

Phil Mickelson is a golfer, not a poker player. You’re thinking of the 1997 British Open when he died in a sand trap on the 18th hole.

[@Mr_1Ballwhale]

RIP Kenny Rogers 3/21/2020

[@hayleymaginnis3592]

someone needs to make an animatic of this

[@Kryptnyt]

Lucien Lachance saved me from dying in my sleep once

[@GippyHappy]

They really nerded out on this one

[@TheGoonhole]

What Kenny didn’t know is right before The Gambler asked for some of his whiskey is that he downed a handful of Percocet right before, and he was planning to kill himself.

[@TankCollinsProtectionSquad]

This is my favorite thing they've ever done besides roscoe the potato man

[@zer0-nyc306]

Golf player Phil Mickelson died in his sleep during the world series of poker and won the whole thing...

[@conner.j.a.wilson]

Rest in peace, Kenny Rogers

[@SpaceWizardAzrid]

the url of this video contains the word "gOOFs"

[@0average_enjoyer044]

[@marypresslike]

RIP kenny rogers

[@rotomfan63]

D'ARBY THE ELDER, RETIRED!

[@thanossfinger5960]

It's a metaphor we are all gamblers every single day playing the cards we are dealt and making the best we can out of our luck playing the game our way!

[@maicey_t.]

Can't believe I've never heard this one. I almost died laughing last night.

[@RedLightning306]

R.I.P. the Legend, passed away this morning

[@kittany_ust760]

[@jamesreads4713]

I feel like they made a walkthrough of the wrong Persona game. Persona 3 literally ends with you dying in your sleep!

[@customercareskeleton]
