  • Yeah, So that was something that people actually pointed out there.

  • Like, how are you able to, like, sit through that and actually live with that?

  • I'm gonna say this.

  • I wanna make these points like basketball points.

  • But let me tell you something.

  • As soon as that beer hits your eyes and goes in your nose like it's all out the window I have no idea what I'm gonna say.
