| 0:00.0 | Look, I don't know what kind of stuff you all think is funny, but I can tell you what I think is funny. |
| 0:10.0 | It's impractical jokers. Have you ever watched this show? There's four friends |
| 0:14.1 | have been friends forever. Have we talked about this? Maybe we've talked about this. |
| 0:16.5 | And what they do is they take turns sending one out at a time with like a little earpiece in or |
