    "He doesn't even know his arm is gone", is probably my new favorite quote from Craig. Fucking crack episode.
    "Out of cheese at 2pm", "Chipotle old head", "on the side if I'm feeling slutty", fucking hell. Matt is a fucking funny dude.

Matt is such a funny dude and it’s awesome that he enjoys talking with fans at the merch table. The camper van talk is like movie type stuff. I think I love Kublai Khan even more now.
