This is Chris Baca. I'm sitting here with Jared Truby.

Coincidentally, we're wearing the exact same colors today.

We're like twinning so hard.

Haven't even seen them yet.

Haven't even seen him.

It's a red shirt with a gray five panel, if anybody's wondering.

And they all kind of came to the company this way.
