downstairs I'm sorry parking lot tacos
were a mistake I'll go check it out hi
dad back early yeah your mom wants you
to keep it down what are you kids up to
them here oh we're playing Dark Lord

you guys always have to assume that
we're doing something wrong okay we're
not getting into trouble can you give us
some credit please geez maybe you're
right sorry we bothered
[Laughter]
the jacket test tubes we were conducting
an experiment Oh to see how stupid your
parents are we can explain all right um
it's the only reason that those were
there is because we were going to play
spin the bottle oh then go ahead play
spin the bottle anyone got a mint okay
me we're having a beer party you two are
grounded for two months no stereo no TV
no phone and you can forget no internet
no car no money for clothes hey I want
to take stuff away too and you're not
allowed to have laughter you can't take
away laughter trust me you can I didn't
know my friends bringing alcohol yeah um
we didn't drink anything only because we
came home early and it's a good thing we
did yet you had warm beer cheap vodka
and wine coolers what do you think
everybody knows it's liquor before beer
never fear beer before liquor never
sicker of course whiskey is risky but it
makes the ladies frisky yeah we're
trying to teach them not to drink not
how to drink you're right that was dumb
like mixing wine and rum don't think
about that
Judy Cassie cash Matthew Luke Alverson
you are in a boatload of trouble mr. Abe
Oh mode I'm this summer you can forget
all about Mary NetCam that's right I
don't think the other puppeteers want to
share a booth with a boozehound you go
wait out in the car Tommy Lee okay
thanks for calling it is awful well what
are you gonna do the kids are an age
where they're gonna experiment I blame
myself I'm afraid there's been times
where matt has see me enjoy up to two
beers and one sitting at Christmas time
I do enjoy my warm waffle I'm not sure
what that has to do with drinking there
okay look it's time we all take
responsibility for this we need to set a
better example absolutely we need to be
better role models I couldn't agree more
we need to stop drinking you need to go
now I'm not talking about forever I'm
just saying we need to show her kids
that we could have fun without alcohol
wow this a few days couldn't hurt i was
thinking more like a month okay you

all the way home Oh what oh you're gonna
get a kick out of this I just got an
email from the Halverson's they actually

need those two we could stop drinking
for a month we're not the kind of people
who need to drink to be here yeah we are
happy we just drink to be happier Hey Oh

reason they don't think we could stop
drinking for a month wonder what would
give them that impression masakit
Brian's middle name is hop or the
Florence middle name is barley I'm not
saying you guys drink too much but you
do tend to drink in front of your
children maybe we have been setting a
bad example is that how our children
think of Judy I can quit anytime I want
and I'm talking about letting that one
into our house kids come in here please
your father and I have been talking it
over and we've decided to join the other
