[@giottoblue]

Justin and Travis telling Griffin he's wrong about his own age is an extremely older sibling move of them

[@DrCheddarBaptisteAlligator9]

They tried to make him the littlest brother but they were awfully quiet when he was the biggest.

[@Dollop_of_Mayo]

Griffin making that "I get everything and you get nothing" demand to Travis about dragons was an extreme younger sibling move

[@crowdedsubwaystation]

To just drop a new Things I Bought at Sheetz on a random tuesday 7 years after the last one...I think Fungalore heard my wish.

[@notednuance]

Fungalore definitely HEARD your wish. It is what Fungalore does.

[@SuperKawaiiCupcakes]

Fungalore heard my wish too but he didn’t tell anyone

[@Nono-hk3is]

Hell yeah

[@kepupstranger]

justin whispering "its new mexico" as arizona pops up on the screen is so good

[@vgman20]

Griffin at 4:15: "I'm not gonna waste my time on a *VOD* Me, wasting my time on the VOD: 👁️👄👁️

[@Adventurous-Emma]

I like to watch the chat replay and pretend I’m there with the masses

[@emrhys]

@@Adventurous-Emma samee

[@joelowdon1615]

One must imagine Miggy happy

[@benb4192]

i know it wont ever change but every week i hope that miggy wont choke on the jar of pens and it breaks my heart every time he does

[@thebadpoet]

I’m from New Jersey, and in elementary school in the 1990s we had an assignment to learn the internet. Go to the website of the state you were assigned, and find basic information like exports, population, governor etc. I was assigned West Virginia, which was literally one single landing page with a picture of th governor and no other information. So my teacher sent me to the library where I had to find an encyclopedia and look up all that nonsense about West Virginia. I held an irrational grudge against WV for like two whole decades until becoming a fan of the McElroys, and Adventure Zone Amnesty specifically, eased that long held hatred. Today, these representatives of West Virginia have reignited my rage. New Jersey is one of the most recognizable state shapes! It’s got a waistline!

[@jeremy____5747]

West Virginia and irrational grudges, like chocolate and peanut butter

[@sharkofjoy]

I like how Griffin is like "Charizard isn't a dragon is 'the bit'" but he's actually really mad and won't give it up because he knows he's right.

[@mudkipaficionado7547]

That is, without a doubt, Wyoming

[@freehim939]

0:57 - Theme starts 2:12 - Show starts

[@pattyluss]

Why would you ever skip the theme song???

[@moonbasket]

Thank you so much!!

[@shansta7000]

Anyone that clicks the second option is a sinner

[@unhallowedyves]

It’s just for people who find claymation deeply disturbing, we couldn’t watch Wallace and Gromit either.

[@moonbasket]

@@unhallowedyves so valid.

[@dylana.3848]

when ct came up on the screen i confidently thought to myself, "texas". I have lived in ct for 23 years.

[@katiek.6333]

Excited for the upcoming cryptic "Wyoming?" merch

[@sarahwilliams8438]

As someone from Montana, I would ABSOLUTELY buy that

[@charlie_xcx]

Just noticed miggy lying on the table in the back during the second half of the intro, RIP dude

[@mustardseed]

Glad someone noticed. I thought it’d be funny to have him still in the scenes somewhere.

[@hlinguini1365]

We now have Charizard (not a Dragon-type) and Smaug (a Fire-Drake; not a dragon) on the list.

[@BlessingKnTproducti]

A RETURN TO THINGS I BOUGHT AT SHEETZ IS EVERYTBINF I HAVE DREAMED OF

[@harryjones2670]

Please Fungalore. Add the Brawny Paper Towels man as a dragon.

[@Calendula15]

Maybe wyomning was just the friends we made along the way

[@Jeevesie1988]

I loved this. XD Suggestion for a follow-up round, guessing states by their motto, just so I can see them lose their minds over Utah which is just simply... "Industry."

[@asilid5661]

YES

[@jazbaygrapes]

Very specific bonus for me: my dog is for some reason SET OFF by the usual wrong answer buzzer. Full barking fit. Your gentle little bell kept me from frantically having to mute wrong answers. 😊

[@dogstarontherun]

Meanwhile I unfortunately used "no dogs on the moon" as my 'time to feed dogs' alarm for years so my dog jumps up every time it comes on before the stream begins 😂

[@bookshelfhoney]

My dog loses her mind over the doorbell, but specifically just Frasier's doorbell. When I first started watching fraiser I was so confused cause I got her a puppy and I've never lived anywhere with a doorbell!

[@Cal6009]

What's wild is that Miggy doesn't suffocate when out of the water but he can choke on a cup of pens.

[@Taurusus]

I mean same tho

[@shockofthenew]

Clint doing the energy dragon bit is so good... the format of this show is top tier!

[@bennypmo]

I never thought of it before but I'm from below georgia's chode. Thank you, Griffin.

[@thebadpoet]

I feel like the whole Things I Bought at Sheetz bit was expressly inspired by how long Dwight’s hair has gotten. And I love that.

[@drumbarpuncture]

This intro theme is more of a roller coaster than the first 10 minutes of Pixar's Up

[@IvoryB]

So Griffin became the master stater by providing the most incorrect answers 😆

[@toeloese]

Americans when they see a rectangle: Aaaah, beautiful Wyoming!

[@ladyadidas101]

Spending all that time on how Charizard isn’t a dragon, when Smaug also isn’t a dragon lol

[@davidfalterman8713]

I see they've already bailed on their four-digit called-shot numbering system 😂 loved it as usual boys!

[@alisondodge3809]

I've lived in Connecticut and didn't get that one. SHAME! It's so much more squashed than I thought!

[@adamlyons4892]

i'll never tire of the intro.

[@laurafrakinroslin]

Griffin is so real for gatekeeping Charizard

[@ssaquiettraveler]

I am delighted to see this VOD. One of my favorite things to do as a get to know you thing is to ask people to name all 50 states and spoiler alert maybe 5% of the people I've asked have been able to do it. Everyone is sooooo confident that they know the song from elementary school. They, in fact, do not.

[@Jeevesie1988]

The animaniacs taught me all 50 state capitols, and by extension all 50 states. I don't think I could list them without their capitols though, as I only know the facts in the cadence of the song. 😄

[@bethanyhill5715]

Genuine question, does this work well as a get to know you?? What else do you learn except how many states they know?

[@ssaquiettraveler]

@@bethanyhill5715 Yeah, it works great. Any type of game tends to loosen people up, there's no stakes to getting it wrong (especially since I always mention that it's very rare that someone knows them all), and once they get to a place where they can't think of more, I offer little clues about the ones they have left so we both get to know each other in that process too.

[@5764rich]

*the intro song exists* “fine, I’ll listen to all of balance from start to finish again

[@cynthacizercreates]

This game made me so so happy. Please do more quizzes, maybe with countries, or flags, or something else. It is so so so amazingly fun

[@BenPan10]

So happy to see more Things I Bought at Sheetz. Absolutely love it.

[@Tweygoh]

I love the mackerel pun on McElroy

[@tren-della]

Minnesota has a little Alfred Hitchcock silhouette carved out of it.

[@DreamsOfFire]

I think this is the first time I've ever actually laughed so hard I cried. 😂 And I'm only halfway through! Sassy Griffin, the description of Fortnite, the age thing, all of that was already too much before they even got to the state game. 🤣

[@Rakkitt]

RIP miggy. Shout out to the byebyebye dance reference.

[@BatmanuelTheCactus]

Omg that's what it is! Thank you

[@ProperEarWorm]

I love this VOD and it’s absolutely saved my horrible day 💜 Thanks Brothers!

[@freakincody706]

I swear to god if next week does not include a debate about whether Tad Cooper is a dragon I will scream.

[@DrCheddarBaptisteAlligator9]

man Dwight's mom is gonna be so cheesed you ruined another pair of pants.

[@CampyGrandpa]

My brain was immediately and confidently like "Nebraska" every single time

[@katehandleit]

This made me so irrationally angry I was yelling at my screen like it was a sports match and my team was losing. WYOMING IS LITERALLY JUST A SQUARE

[@catpowerd]

I will never forget you, Miggy Mackerel.

[@monolithseeker7461]

The intro animation looks like ya’ll turned into ninja turtles and then turned halfway back to human.

[@rollingtwenty2266]

Shame I'm in Australia... can never see this live since it starts at like 2am Australian Eastern Time.... but nice to have a coffee and breakfast with it on a Wednesday morning.

[@notthat8163]

I can’t believe griff would talk shit on me for preferring to watch the VOD

[@Levacque]

I've never been more thankful that I watched an intro

[@IntotheGrey]

And the sun’s probably shining in Wyoming

[@LordOfJonix]

I am so excited for more Things I Bought at Sheetz

[@bluemcneil5883]

This mascot has broken the illusory curse you've had on me for 5 years. McElroy Brothers? No mackerel brothers, fishy boys haha kindergarten name calling is back baby

[@garbageboy8857]

Taking the atates out of context of the map is sp hard. Kansas and Connecticut are just rectangles, but i could identify th from their placement on the map

[@johntong9743]

I wish I could tune into these live!

[@jaijais]

justin dying laughing while travis and griffin relitigate charizard’s dragon-hood 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@jamesc8444]

Yesss. Best clubhouse of the week.

[@ozpunk]

Holy Sheetz

[@BatmanuelTheCactus]

So much amazing content, things i bought at sheetz and the clubhouse?? thank you team McElroy we are not worthy.

[@coven14]

Yknow here I was thinking "this intro is fun but it's a little childish" and then someone died so jokes on me I guess

[@iancornicelli2460]

This is some of the funniest shit they have ever made I can't believe I've waited this long to watch

[@lucky_sevans3527]

My favorite show ever

[@rosiealger1391]

I knew I loved Travis... he understands the importance of Galavant!

[@tadcooper9733]

Didn't think I'd come up in this episode!

[@11rockabilia11]

Best part of every episode is when a coupla boys get shrunk down and carried off at the end

[@SuperKawaiiCupcakes]

THINGS I BOUGHT AT SHEETZ MY BELOVED

[@hugbuggie5966]

I love this so much 😍

[@Ian-th3np]

loving the made in trav nation mango

[@2745joker]

Maybe cant do Portland,Oregon anymore but we will accept you in Eugene for sure.

[@ZoeCalico]

wait this is incredible

[@connormcglone9344]

the intro made me question if i was hallucinating or not

[@DigitaIJustice]

TiBaS is coming back?!

[@BatmanuelTheCactus]

The TravNation mango!!

[@skylarkspinner]

As a Nebraskan, I unfortunately can't accept Griffin's apology.

[@asilid5661]

Very into quizzing all three Mcelroys

[@Nono-hk3is]

Hell yeah, great to see Dwight, the mad lad!

[@LMcClees36]

You're going to come to Wyoming on tour now right? This was an elaborate way of announcing that?

[@SaddestAlice]

Feel like they have to now!

[@isabelflann4087]

Hey Justin thats a really nice coffee mug. Love me my Contigo Autoseal!

[@Mac56k]

Do I really have to watch a friend die every week, though?

[@0kieD0kiee]

It would be a dishonor to Miggy’s sacrifice not to watch. He gave his life and now we watch to remember him. Our emotional pain at his repeated passing is but a shadow of the pain he feels in the throes of death every week

[@syrew900]

The grieving process just doesn’t account for this!

[@jeremyowens3319]

Justin! You did Odyssey?! The one time I made Worlds it was Ames, but I judged there ten times. Whole lotta memories from that place.

[@baphometsvomitcomet2350]

The troll of showing a square and saying it was colorado instead of wyoming was masterful

[@ambergristones]

So the brothers need to do a show in Cheyenne now, right?

[@jamiieeeeee]

I’ll be honest, I was confusing Wyoming and Wisconsin in my head and they’d already gotten Wisconsin so every time they guessed Wyoming I thought it was very silly… jokes on me

[@trentonburke-kiser8144]

Oregon gang rise up

[@CoraMayBeanbag]

Stream starts at 0:57 :)

[@snider029]

I do agree with griffin that. Charizard would be more dragon is it was dragon type.

[@ItsCaramelToffee]

"More Pits Please" -- The Nasty Guys

[@realmattytime]

see.... yall should totally play geogeusser for one of these. cus this was fun. for me at least

[@madsstokes]

Justin was being pretty fucking Oregon at that one part.

[@buttergeek9985]

Y’all, just replace Chatizard with Mega Charizard X on the list, he looks much cooler anyway

[@jeremy____5747]

The four nations lived in harmony. Until one day the Trav Nation attacked...

[@fat.E]

Is that how Mickey really died?

[@ZombodyDead]

Woof woof!

[@jamiepandaman]

For the next Energies Dragon, I would love to see a Wyvern. Anything else that is technically not a dragon would be great. A pokemon that is a dragon type but not a dragon like Tyrantrum or Tatsuguri, perhaps.

[@Jonathan-qo8dl]

A really nice episode, a little shorter, but you got it bros

[@servnava6601]

Tennessee? Home of Smoky Mountain Knife Works largest knife store in the world Tennessee? Heck yeah this is the knife state!

[@mitchellellis27]

Big Wyoming boys

[@jshpttrsn]

Charizard is not a dragon, Griffin is right!

[@pckyart]

Rip miggyman

[@rkw-p7060]

Hi. I’m in Delaware.

[@AndrewValko]

I need a good good Miggy tshirt ASAP boys

[@CleanBigGentleman]

PLEASE make more things i bought at sheetz 😭‼️
