==Controversies==
===Garage Sale===
The Grumps decided to do a Garage Sale to sell off some of their stuff when they moved into a new office. They only expected 100 people to show up, which caused problems as more than 100 showed up, and a lot of them had to wait outside in the California sun. They eventually had to send someone to hand out water and sunscreen.
After a few hours the police shut down the event due to health concerns. A lot of fans were upset because they had traveled across the country to meet the Grumps. One game a fan sent to the Grumps with a note inside was sold https://twitter.com/Cory7747/status/1145074308684734464 (which the fan was cool with), as well as, reportedly, RWBY figures that the deceased Monty Oum gave to Arin.https://shin-cos-zilla.tumblr.com/post/185936003927/im-on-the-right-with-dan-got-these-figures-that
