That "short term plant rental" joke was a real journey.

[@mattgilbert4122]

Legitimately laughed out loud. The long, arduous build up made that sweet sweet payoff even better!

[@FaceEnjoysVidyaLP]

honestly thought it was an excuse for grifo to say bush in public while people walked past him

[@SeventhEve]

and yet, what the hell IS short term plant rental?

[@roidroid]

**GASP** just back from my internet deep dive. It is literally a service for renting living plants, as part of the decor of show booths. A regular sized boston fern can be as little as $30, but a custom arrangement of succulents can be as much as $300. i think the SUCCulents are most appropriate for a gaming convention. This has been Internet Deep Dives™™™, an original SeeSo production do not steal.

[@Calice0]

probably for people to decorate their booths? make them look more inviting

can polygon hire travis just to stand there and smile hes such a warm soul

[@KaeWinters]

I met Travis at a convention recently and he is literally a ray of sunshine in human form, he's just lovely

I would assume Clint is.

That's really a saucy comment you made! Really ranchy.

Karthik Balasubramanian your just afraid of the pun power you chicken

[@CannedCorm]

Holy shit

[@BboyMrMaestro]

There's a point where Griffin explains to his 30-something brother what tissues are. That's what I want from E3 coverage.

[@camilamarin5674]

that zoom in on griffins face when he was eating the chicken tender made my depression 10x worse

[@Michelle-wd1sy]

yuck boy let him eat his tendos in peace

>ywn be a delicious moist chicken tender for griffin to violently devour and crunch on for a chicken tender dinner

Reggie could have a car sandwich if the san- if the car was a sandwich. The size, this size, but a sandwich? Then I bet Reggie could, um, he'd love that! Cause he's taller. Uh, and he seems like he might enjoy a big sandwich.

I can't believe that whole bit only took two lines to write out on the Desktop Version™ of KZbin it felt like 2 months long in the video.

No fair. I want to be randomly verified.

I'm just really glad that Travis finally opened up his heart to game milk.

If Travis is not, in fact, a "sexpert" then how would you explain all the "Thrustmaster" signs around him at 4:43?

They have to be careful with how many microphones they take with them. Too many and Al Roker will appear to mock them for it

this must be weird for people who are only fans of monster factory i remember when i first found out there was a third

[@BluesMoth64]

Olga Svenselts I was lucky because i was first introduced to the McElroys through TAZ, but my moment of elation when I realized there was a KZbin channel with 2/3s of these sweet sweet boys was unquantifiable and impossible to define in words

[@faroshscale]

A THIRD lmao. And a fourth if you count Clint

@@BluesMoth64 TAZ was also my way in, my DM told me to listen to it because I'd never played DnD before, They were my first ever DnD experience and I wouldn't trade that for the world

[@loreleiloriestone9179]

I read the TAZ graphic novel as my first introduction to the McElroy’s, and it took me way too long to work out which character was played by their dad, so I totally understand.

That desperate panicked 'no' when Travis starts the Tenders ASMR video gives me life

[@Ralalaize]

Travis: this is now my chicken asmr video. Griffin: *immediate panic*

[@skylarelliott1051]

this is why i subscribed to polygon. good good mcelroy content with 30 seconds of griffin and travis eating chicken tenders. the games are okay too but my expectations for the rate of chicken consumption per video have been dramatically raised.

[@AbsoluteTravisT]

I love that strange feeling that even though these brothers are the bestest of friends, Travis suddenly entering Polygon feels like your dad who's amazed how far video games have come since his day.
