Here we meet today's my brother Jay, who will be in every episode. I'll tell you, Ben, I almost didn't make it today. What happened? Well, I'll tell you, I was just, I was like really sore from this weekend, you know? Oh, yeah, yeah. You've been pumping iron? Yeah, well, not quite. I competed in a Bayblade tournament myself

What

Yeah

No Yeah, well, not quite. Um, I competed in a Bayblade tournament myself.

What? Yeah. Yeah. No way. I know. I know. Someone call ESPN. Not quite. Not quite. Oh my gosh. No. Um, there's a, as, as you guys, maybe have heard, as we've talked about it a few times, there's a monthly Bay Blay tournament that'll happen in Roanoke and I've been bringing the kids, um, you know,

if they want to go. Yeah. And, uh, I mean, I remember the great incident of 25 when one

Luke William completely shattered. Shattered another, another player's, oh, still spoken about, you know, That's right. I know. Yeah, I mean, they, they, they, they, they, they couldn't even get the, the broken bits of blade blade out of the stadium. So deep were they embedded in the plastic. My goodness. This is like what, like 16th inch plastic? I mean, it's, it's thick enough. It would be like you'd need scissors to cut

through it for sure. Right. Yeah. But anyway, so last time I brought Nick and Nate, but this time,

I was telling the kids, I was like, hey, it's Babe Bloods tomorrow. If you guys want to go,

they're having another tournament. And Luke was immediately like, yes, let's go.. But then surprisingly, neither Nick or Nate wanted to go. Really? I know. I think maybe like, maybe they're just not quite like strong enough to like really like beat people. Sure. You know, so it's like less fun if you're just like not winning anything. Um, but at that point, you know, it's like one of those things just like, well, once you say it, you can't really put the tooth base back in the tube.

So yes, 100%. Yeah, it's like I'd be really careful. Like we everyone, everyone's good. Everyone's good. Okay. And then so, um, I was just going to, I just brought Luke. Uh, but as it's like a, you know, three to four hour endeavor. Is it that long? I mean, it's a big chunk of Saturday.

It takes up like a good portion of the afternoon.

We were probably there from like, you know, endeavor. Is it that long? I mean, it's a big chunk of Saturday.

It takes up, it takes up like a good portion of the afternoon. We were probably there from like, you know, we left the house at like 1130 and we probably got home at like 4.15 or something. Wow. Okay. Yeah, it takes a minute. Takes a minute. I think it could be run faster, but I'll save those thoughts, you know. Okay. okay. Yeah, yeah. Maybe, maybe, uh, maybe, uh, maybe, uh, with the, with the leadership. Blaise, that's his name. Oh, no, no, no. Blaze is the person at people, people go by their, you know, um, blade handles. Do they really? I mean, uh, they kind of do. Yeah. Oh, I mean, I thought you were joking because there's like,

uh,

there's like the movie dodge ball with Ben Stiller that came out. I, I say Ben Stiller as if like Vince Vaughn's not the main character. Right. Um, but yeah, they like, I feel like the entire team on Ben Stiller side is like laser and blazer and taser. and taser my personal
