It is rapid fire time, and I am joined by the three-man crew of Bobby Hensley and Jesse Stiers.

0:25.9

And of course, I am Sean Stiers.

I'm not going to ask you how everybody is doing because I feel like we might just blow this whole thing up again as we were in a sound chamber there for just a minute. So we've got a lot of things that we're
