Gov Abbott had a tree drop on him & that's why is paralyzed. Not by listeria. Wth? Why did you say that? That's not nice.

Recent events has brought me back to this.

Isabelle, true enough, that. Really hope that SimpliSafe works because I love ACC!
Isabelle Beauprez
Loved the episode but the wrap up was phenomenal, including the faux pas.
Isabelle Beauprez
I believe that ACC has many other threats to worry about, big pharma being #1 No wonder they don't accept packages 🤣
Chuck Aronson

Ruby Rivera
Lady stop 🙄

Yes, I'm fully aware. Him saying it after describing the vibe is kinda like yeah that is definitely the spirit.
Jenny Graves
Holy crap! I never want to eat store bought icecream again. Good thing I know how to make my own with a hand mixer!!
Michelle Hebert
I was sooo happy to NOT hear my favorite ice cream, Haagen Dazs, mention in that list!
Michelle Hebert
You missed the best part immediately after that: "Who cares about people dying, when I personally am inconvenienced?" That was the salient point.
Janet Marie
And use some listeria tainted milk to make your homemade deliciousness
Janet Marie
That was hard to hear.
Janet Marie
That didn’t feel like a jab

Boy howdy. Time to finally get that ice cream maker I've had my eye on.
Greg Howes
Coming over to the States next week... Must not eat ice cream!! I'm immunocompromised. 😬
Emily P
Delightful ending. It's like you're a real person.
Michelle Hebert
What isn't in Austin? I know Austin is considered relatively "liberal" by Texas standards, but surely it can't be too far of a pickup drive for other Texans who might be pissed off at ACC, and that was my point. Besides, convicted master liar conspiracist Alex Jones is from there.
Emily P
not in Austin, lol
Michael Brodie
How did you know I have an ugly face???
J Prosoco
I love your fuck up at the end. It was great.
Michelle Hebert
I think maybe he overdosed on the THC micro-dosing.
Michelle Hebert
What a laugh. Sounds like that THC micro-dosing is really working!
Alyssa Stuart
Can we get more quippy, degrading suggestions to purchase your merch?
Michelle Hebert
I'm sure the father and uncle are turning over in his grave at what the spoiled, unethical lawyer kid turned the company into.
Michelle Hebert
At 11:40: "President George W. Bush . . . and his serpent-like tongue." 😜🤪😂 Wow ACC!! I love it, but saying stuff like that while living in Texas could find you on the wrong end of all those guns Texans worship. Hope that SimpliSafe works as well as you say!
Sofia Carr
I’m now definitely going to buy some Swindled merch to wipe my disgusting face 🤣😂

As someone with the misfortune of living in the region, I've never understood Blue Bell's popularity. Maybe I'm just a snob. Not a Broken Arrow-style snob, just a "country flavors are not high on my list" type of snob.

The credits are usually a treat anyways, thanks for leaving that in 😂 another classic tale...Texas has so many stories. Loved all the music but especially the accompaniment to all the news blurbs at the end; captured that mood perfectly.
Loreal Miller
The laugh at the end is epic lol
Mary Broadus
The laugh 🤌🏻🤌🏻
R G
Amazing as always! And it's great to hear you laughing
Shelby Atkinson
No condensation 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sally Norris
I always love the 3 variations in the end credits, but you spoilt us this time. Many thanks, as always.
MetalMatt
They should have stuck with butter....

"The American spirit was in full force" yikes
Acon Cernczyn
Yeap. Rolling my cart right by the freezer section. However, this daaz not stop me from making my own homemade. In-fect, it's better than store-bought. I eagerly look forward to swindles involving regulated industry, it validates my job. The laugh at the end sent me🤣🤣🤣
Stephanie Johnson
Has ACC ever before not been able to do the entire spiel at the end? I enjoyed that an episode about ice cream and sadness was bookended by a good chuckle.
Chuck Aronson
Good thing I can’t have dairy 🤣
Haley Hagle
Oof that string of brands at the end 😰
james
Love the jab at the Astros, nicely done
Jacquelyn Walker
