Alaina Urquhart (0:00)

Hey, weirdos, I'm Alaina.

Ash Kelley (0:02)

I'm Ash.

Alaina Urquhart (0:03)

This is Morbid. Yass.

Ash Kelley (0:20)

Yass. Yass.

Alaina Urquhart (0:21)

It's Morbid.

Ash Kelley (0:22)

I don't know, that just came to me in the middle.

Alaina Urquhart (0:24)

I'm Ash. I'm Ash.

Ash Kelley (0:25)

I feel very silly today. I have been fucking up the Duncan drive-thru lately.

Alaina Urquhart (0:30)

You have been.

Ash Kelley (0:31)

I have been up in those streets of drive-thru. Hell yeah. This is not sponsored. Duncan does sponsor us, but this is just like apparently out of value. I'm obsessed with, and it has to be the Signature Latte.

The Signature Pumpkin Latte is my favorite pumpkin latte of all time.

It's incredible.

Alaina Urquhart (0:50)

I like their frozen coffees too. And again, not an ad.

Ash Kelley (0:52)

No, I swear this is not an ad, but like, hey, maybe, you know, book some more spots, I guess.

Alaina Urquhart (0:57)

Yeah, let's go, Duncan.

Ash Kelley (0:58)

I love Duncan. But yeah, I'm fucking, I'm Ben Affleck in these streets.

Alaina Urquhart (1:02)

I love that. Yeah, I guess we should.

Ash Kelley (1:04)

Which actually is like foreshadowing for a bonus episode that we're going to be doing on Friday.

Alaina Urquhart (1:08)

That's true. Ben Affleck is not on the episode.

Ash Kelley (1:10)

No, that's-

Alaina Urquhart (1:11)

I should say that right away.

Ash Kelley (1:13)

Hey, Ben Affleck.

Alaina Urquhart (1:15)

Come on the show.

Ash Kelley (1:16)

Boston Boy.

Alaina Urquhart (1:18)

Why haven't we thought of that?

Ash Kelley (1:19)

What would we do with Ben Affleck?

Alaina Urquhart (1:21)

No idea, but I'm sure there's things we could do.

Ash Kelley (1:24)

Hey, that'd be fun.

Alaina Urquhart (1:25)

You guys want Ben Affleck on the show?

Ash Kelley (1:26)

Let's get Ben Affleck. Well, ever since we had Matthew Lillard on the show, we're like, this guy is the Lillard.

Alaina Urquhart (1:31)

Let's get everyone cool on the show.

Ash Kelley (1:32)

It was really fun. I do think just a true few that love us and are defensive over us, might think that he was ribbing us too hard.

Alaina Urquhart (1:43)

Like being too teasy.

Ash Kelley (1:44)

But we loved it.

Alaina Urquhart (1:45)

Yeah. That's our love language. And it was only a few people, and they were being super kind about it. And we're just thinking like, oh, I don't want somebody hurting your feelings. I promise you, it was all in good fun. And I think we all just recognized each other's energy and made fun of each other.

Ash Kelley (2:01)

He has a New England way of communicating.

Alaina Urquhart (2:03)

He does. And I think one of the best ways to see that is watch the visual.

Ash Kelley (2:08)

If you watch the visual, you can see that we're all just lulling.

Alaina Urquhart (2:12)

I promise you, you can see that it was all in good fun.

But thank you so much for caring about us, the people who were like, was that, did that hurt your feelings? He was mean to you. I was like, no, no, no. Because I promise you there wasn't a mean bone in his body. No, not at all. We adored him.

Ash Kelley (2:27)

And here's the thing, again, New Englanders, being mean is a love language.

Alaina Urquhart (2:31)

Yeah, it really is.

Ash Kelley (2:32)

If you're not mean to me, I don't think you like me.

Alaina Urquhart (2:35)

Yeah, as soon as he started going hard at me, I was like, oh, we're best friends. I was like, we've cemented our relationship.

Ash Kelley (2:43)

We all became best friends instantly.

Alaina Urquhart (2:45)

So I felt right.

Ash Kelley (2:47)

We were dancing through life.

It's too weird. Dancing through life. I was a theater kid right there.

Alaina Urquhart (2:53)

Yeah, now we're trying to get more cool people on because you guys liked that one.

Ash Kelley (2:57)

Yeah, so Ben Affleck, what the fuck is up? What the fuck is up?

Alaina Urquhart (3:00)

Let's get them all.

Ash Kelley (3:00)

Let's do this. I would be so perfectly random.

Alaina Urquhart (3:03)

It would be very random.

Ash Kelley (3:05)

I would love it.

Alaina Urquhart (3:06)

We're going to make it happen.

Ash Kelley (3:07)

Is he a New Yorker?

Alaina Urquhart (3:08)

No, he lives in LA.

Ash Kelley (3:10)

Oh, he does?

Alaina Urquhart (3:11)

It makes sense.

Ash Kelley (3:12)

Well, because we went to the Sirius Studios in New York, so we're like, who can we get from New York?
