I guess today we're coming to you live from a very noisy, a good bar noisy kind of background noisy environment.

0:44.9

We're coming to you from the New Bohemia Brotson beer stew or something like that.

0:49.5

So John goes, was it a 5K? Mm-hmm. So John goes, yeah, we're doing a 5K. You want to do that? Let's bring you back. Let's blame where blame is due. The voice of reason texted me. Yeah, right. Then I needed to get you to run the 5K with it.

2:17.2

Yeah, because I guess she doesn't have quite a grasp on what a weirdo I am yet,
