[Music]

great hanging out with you Linda but it

was a little rude of you to be on the

phone with your boyfriend the entire

time I know and I mean it will really

hurt my feelings no I should get going

Perry yeah judy has that look on her

face well here I'll show you sorry

there's so much to talk about when you

have a fiance you know I yeah and a ring

as soon as he sells his car Oh reminds

me I can't go to the movies with you

tomorrow oh really now I know Perry and

I are picking out wedding invitations

I'm picking out wedding invitations

because I up a fight but I am so happy

that you finally found someone but don't

forget the rest your family's been kind

of blow me off a lot lately yeah I hear

you well good because I'm glad no no the

reception is good

Perry you know what this is this is kind

of rude we should probably cut this

short thank you

[Applause]

[Music]

sorry it took me so long my son keeps

changing the place where he hides his

money there you go buddy yeah maybe next

time you'll find out where he hides his

tips honey my hands are folks you flip

off the pizza guy for me that's weird

last time I checked Brian's lock box

there was a couple of hundred bucks in

here weren't you have any idea which

brother's been doing with alts money

apparently not hiding him as well I hide

mine don't have money no done to her

mattress no hi guys Mary our brain won't

even Jesus all your money I think a

better question would be what are you

doing with all I know come on there was

more than 200 bucks in here the other

day I earned that money I can spin it

any way I want it Brian this is for your

college fund you can't be irresponsible

you know your father and I haven't saved

a cent well if you must know I kind of

have a new hobby I just didn't want to

tell you guys because I thought you'd

make fun of it they'll let him say what

it is first it's called wizards the

beckoning it's a strategy game where you

assume the roles of wizards and warlocks

and engage in fantasy duels armed only

with the deck of Enchanted battle carbs

ah you guys just don't understand it

Brian Frank come back here we don't mean

to make fun of it it's just 200 bucks is

a lot of money to throw away on some

silly car I didn't throw it away mom I

mean sure I spent two hundred dollars

but by now my collections got to be

worth at least a thousand a thousand

dollars that real money are like wizard

bucks real money and every time I play I

just win more cards so you won like 800

bucks yeah but it's not about winning

dad it's about the spiritual journey

testing yourself and finding your own

strengths and limitations so you've won

like 800 yeah I guess but in order to

get that money I'd have to sell my card

I am not selling my car Brian you have

to be responsible with your money you

know you need to sell these cards now

otherwise when do you wake up the fat

will be over and they'll be worth

nothing that's why we sold your beanie

babies oh my beanie baby you have a

computer we're selling the car this is

so unfair you guys can't control me

Brian wait come back here no forget it

you know what go ahead no wait guess we

can still control

coffee sometime what do you say oh no

merciless aren't you a sight for sore
