the certain moment that they're in and then you go, I have a funny story about that.

Welcome back to the once ready podcast.

I don't know if I've ever told this story on the podcast, it's Aaron and Trent, it's

the Aaron and Trent show.

We're not going to talk about anything important today.

all excited, right?
