I love how Matt was like "I was trying to say quiver and shift". No, he wasn't. He was gonna say "shiver and quiver". But that didn't go as planned.

[@tyrannicpuppy]

I love how he tried to continue, like he totally forgot he works with a table full of absolute children and he just made a dirty joke in front of them.

[@NWolfsson]

I think it also comes from their history of having accidental dirty jokes, but pretty quickly collecting themselves. Matt had faith in his friends and wife to come to their senses quickly. Being deep into pandemic times (November 2020) probably helped a lot :p

[@kryingkory1925]

They’re like that group in school who make dumb jokes from across the class and i genuinely love it

[@MrSpannners]

I remember having that once with a table of friends in high school, and the worst part is, like here, once you get to a certain point, everything becomes the funniest thing. I remember we were laughing so much the teacher stopped the class, and was just waiting for us, we were trying to apologize, but we just couldn't stop laughing.

The table was ready to move on but he needed to poke the bear again. I love how he stars it with "You're a child, Marisha" and eventually gets sucked in at the end.
