yeah okay but we were doing stuff before that we did the half year thing

game of the years yeah okay that's what makes it confusing is because is because we did a goate as our very first test epi. And when we did that, we kind of were like, oh, this is, let's do it for real. But I consider that a part of the pre-announcement. Yeah. We did halfway through 2020 as the first one. Then we did the game of the year 2020. Yeah. That was like our pilot episode.

Yeah. And then people were like, I cannot imagine my life without this. You have to do it. They were emailing. They were clamoring. There's a lot of clamoring. People holding signs outside of our houses. We need more, they said. We couldn't get them away. We said, get back. back I say.

Mike said we were bigger than Jesus. Yeah. But we stand by that. We stand by that. I think I said that. We all said that. He stands by it.

Yep.

In numerous ways.

We bought that billboard.

It's in Oklahoma somewhere. If you're driving on a tiering 63.

And us just all like flipping double birds in the air.

Just crotch chops.
