Real good, real good, real good. Real good, real good, real good. Real good, real good. Real good, real good.

Real good, real good. Real good, real good! Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another edition of America's Best Worst Canadian Sports reminders, that's right, real good show is back at it again for another week. It is episode 110, as we hit double digits inside triple digits, which seems like uh, not that big of a deal.

But I wanted to bring it up anyways, just similar is that if you once again and is. Are you there? Yeah, you guys not hear me? No, did you say your own name?

Yeah, I sent my own name. Oh, we didn't get that. We didn't get that. This is welcome to the technical episode 110, technical difficulties.

Yeah, which we're tying perfectly with the day that I've had prior to this. Feeling very frazzled. It's been a long stressful day. We can talk a little bit more about that a little later on.

Yeah, I can see his beard and hair. It's both frazzled. Pretty empty of apologies on some technical difficulties, perhaps on Steffin's side, Steffin's you were saying your internet connection in Los Angeles has been extremely shit for like the last seven days, basically. Yeah.

I said weak. I didn't say seven days, but it's been really slow. We're being like frazzled. I just downloaded too much videos or whatever.

We'll make do. I think we can power through this. I don't know if you're hearing any of this at all. I mentioned you were talking to wind.

No, we heard all that. Thankfully. That came through. I'm John Cullen.

There we go. John Cullen. I don't know if you guys noticed this, but 110, that's hitting double digits inside triple digits. Yeah, that's a thing.

Have you guys noticed that? Yeah, like it's like we got past nine into ten. If you were just one hour. You're just double digits in there already.

108 is like ten and then eight. Well, yeah, but that's if you're getting ten. Ten, ten. That's if you're getting technical.

I just remember episode ten. Actually, you know what, maybe there's no double digits in this one because it's eleven and zero. Do you remember 100 episodes ago when we hit episode ten? I felt like that was a big deal.

Double digits. And now we're at ten again, and it means nothing. I just thought I'd point that out. Okay?

No, I like it. I'm not. I would never said I was against it. It's going to be a win.

It's just not falling. It felt like a big deal when we hit episode ten, 100 episodes ago, because we made it out of single digits into double, but now we're in triple and then we hit ten again inside the triple digits. Yeah, but no one cares now. Like one ten is not a milestone.

Oh, but one eleven is three ones in a row. That's actually true. That's true. That is a milestone.

I'll give you that. Absolutely. Three ones in a row is our group photo. That's pretty good, actually.

I'm glad your internet worked for that one. Yeah, that was solid. That was definitely solid. Yeah, I guess we did take that one group photo where we're holding the letters ass.

I think that probably is as good of a manifestation of three ones as anything. I like the one where we're holding the letters art. I don't have an F just dangling out of frame. A row gas.

I mean, not out of frame. It's in frame. But you know, like. Yeah, you see it and it smells like fart.

Exactly. Exactly. But we had a big week. Last week on the show, we talked about the fact that we had put out the call for someone to send us secrets on the program so that we could read them out loud and potentially embarrass someone similarly to the way that I felt embarrassed, of course, of the summertime.

Didn't take long for someone to send us secrets that probably belonged further or more rather in penthouse forums. Yeah, it wasn't really so much a secret as, hey, I'm going to talk about mine and my wife's sex life in extreme detail. Which one was that? That was the one where the guy talked about him and his wife's sex life.

Yeah, no. It's particularly what happened in it. I mean, that one. He said that his wife is a squirter.

So he was telling some squirt stories. Yeah. I mean, maybe I guess that's in line with what I talked about. I should have expected that when I was like, hey, I told the secret now you sent yours.

True. But we got some other ones that I think are more in line with what we're looking for. Yeah, this is pretty great. And we're going to roll them out one per week.

One per week. I mean, technically we only have two right now if we don't count the penthouse one. So we need more people to send them in. If you want to send them in, you can send them in at realgoodpod.genail.com.

We'll not read any of your info. And although I will say I do like this person's burner email address. They wrote their email address is just for RGSPod at gmail.com. Which secret is this?

Because there's a couple of like, do we think all of these are real? I'm just about to read it. I mean, I trust our listeners. I think this one is real.

I think the murder one was real too. But we'll talk about that. Why would you fucking sing it? I'm just teasing it.

That's not teasing. That was the one that I thought was fake. Well, no, because there was a news article attached to it. Yeah, it was absolutely real.

It was 100% verifiable. I think it's fake news. Okay, well. So that's next week's secret.

Tune in for that. If you think something is fake news, you should have been on the Emmys tonight. Hey, topical, but I'm bummed. Okay.

So this one comes in from anonymous. Yes. And I think that didn't have like the name of like a liquor or something attached to it. It's a fake name.

Yeah. It's like Johnny Walker. No, no, close to that. It's a name.

It's a name of a sausage, a sausage. Oh, it's Jimmy Dean. That's the one. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. They write. There's a lot to unpack in this one.

They're excited for it. Hello, Justin, Stefan and John. I created this email so I could share a secret. The secret is I have a crush on Sam Anderson.

I'm a fan of hers from the Facebook group and I think she is funny and beautiful. That's not much of a secret, but it would make my wife upset if she found out. Our relationship has not been the best of the past year, but I'm just too chicken to leave. So there it is.

I have a crush on Sam Anderson. Secret is out in the world. Love the show. Keep up the good work.

Now I'm sure he feels better now. I mean, I hope so. Don't get that off his chest. Yeah.

I would have said better than like, can we rent it on the show though? I don't know. I mean, that was the intended purpose of the segment. So he must have known.

He got to get it off his chest just like you toweling down after the squirt session. Oh, wow. Oh, right. Sorry, we're bringing that up again.

So the. That was somebody that was getting off on Justin's chest. Oh, right. Okay.

But yeah, there's obviously a lot to unpack here. First of all, I mean, I guess good for Sam. Yeah, I mean, maybe. Yeah.

Yes, I think good. Probably. It's always nice to hear that you're funny and beautiful. And she's like a secret admirer there.

Exactly. I just don't know why you had to say the wife thing. Yeah. It really took a turn in the middle there.

Yeah, exactly. You're like, Oh, this is nice. He was a crush on Sam. Very cute.

Actually, but also. But also my marriage has been extremely difficult and I cannot bring it within myself to file for divorce. You know what? I don't know.

What do we say in here, fellas? I feel like this is turned into an advice column at this point. Yeah, I mean, I don't want to advocate for divorcing someone because then maybe it's my fault if it happens, you know. That's not like this could be used against him if it ever comes up to like there's like a divorce.

Well, I guess it would only come up again. It would only come up against him if he does divorce his wife and then Sam starts showing up in his photos. True. Right.

Yeah. Otherwise it'd be pretty tough to know. I mean, there's lots of divorce. There's going to be so many divorces happening like in the same day this episode comes out.

Yeah. There's no way of knowing. I mean, there's only one sausage king though. That's true.

Jimmy Dean is Jimmy install a lot. Probably not. No, so probably not. Whatever.

It is heaven. I'm looking up right now. This might slow down the call even if we need. Yeah, you really fuzzed out a lot from the Matrix a little bit.

But no, wonderful. Great. Yeah. That was the first one we received.

So of course, as I mentioned next week's is probably even crazier than that. Yeah, yeah. But we wanted to go in pecking order. It felt wrong to let somebody skip the cube because this gentleman obviously put his life out there on the line and his wife out there on the line apparently.

Apparently the line she's on is there. Yes. Yes. Getting ever thinner.

But yeah, thank you for the secret. And yeah, just do what feels right for yourself. And hopefully you have a good life. I mean, I don't know what do we say at this point.

I don't know what you can say really. Clearly a difficult situation. You guys tell Sam before the show that. Well, so I ran into Sam this week actually.

I was having a salad at Traktor. She posted a picture in the Facebook group and she just saw me from the street. And I was eating by myself because I was on the way to curling. So I was just doing a loser.

Well, that too. I didn't say anything there. No, I heard that. Thank you.

It actually slowed down right when you said loser. So it was like loser. So it was extended. I put some stank on it.

Yeah, exactly. So Sam, yeah, I was on the way to curling. So I was eating by myself and Sam came in and sat down with me and I said, you're going to like next week's episode. And then she was like, what does that mean?

And I was like, you just wait. And she was like, I don't think I like it now. And hopefully she does at this point. So maybe.

I don't know. I don't know if she will. I have a feeling that as soon as she heard the email, she will either post something in the group or tweet at us or message one of us. And I'm not sure what the reaction is going to be.

I'm concerned that someone has heard it before she has and it's already like sent her some sort of that is possible to be like, ooh, or whatever, you know, that probably happened. That's true. Yeah. But whatever goes down between these lovely consenting adults in the future or doesn't happen.

I mean, realistically probably doesn't. Yeah. I mean, if we're being honest, absolutely. But you never know.

Whatever does or doesn't happen. Maybe it would be an event of some kind. Yes. Perhaps a ticket event.

Can only be described as my most tenuous segue of all time. That is an extremely tenuous segue. But that's, I mean, I respect it. I would, I'll take a ticket to watch the sex.

Well, that is not, I mean, it might lead their eventually. Yeah. Well, if I get a ticket for the date and they end up having sex, you better believe my ticket. It's like the Bachelor.

You just get to watch, you know, you don't get to watch that part of the Bachelor, do you? Well, maybe there's like a VIP experience. Either way. Wow.

I feel so bad. I get it in that. No, I don't think it's going to get edited out at all. I don't think anyone edits this show ever.

Yeah, no, I don't. We've said that at least 30 times on the show and we've never ended up editing the thing out. I sometimes would actually that's not true. Yeah, we have a couple of times said things that are so objectionable.

We have to believe both. What would it be funny to believe out Sam's name and then the group has to figure out who we're talking about? I think it would be funny if I did believe it out and then we said that we were going to reveal who it was at an event that we sold tickets to. Yeah, that would be there.

So people can buy tickets to the reveal of who the mystery man has a crush on. Maybe it's a mystery woman who has a crush on a man. We don't know anymore. I mean, we said wife.

We knew you could leave all those out. I think we should have actually to leave. I think because it'll be like a mystery for everyone and also the guy who wrote the email will know and then maybe he'll like slip up, you know. What if I don't have to figure out who it is?

Well, what if I bleep it so much that it becomes a mystery even to him or her as the case made me? I mean, it's a slippery slope. Sounds like a lot of work to me, but I don't have to edit this program. So whatever makes sense to you.

Like to me, I feel like if that's the idea, we almost got to rerecord that. Yeah, probably make it a lot easier for you. Speaking of slippery slopes, water slides, you can buy tickets to those too. You definitely can.

I love to go water slide. Trying tickets to sports and concerts. I think we can all agree. Sometimes it can be complicated.

Yeah. That was... I don't even know where we came from or where we're going. I'm going to say, hey, is it the moment?

Yes, we do have donor stuff. And thank you for giving me back on track. I so appreciate that. No problem.

I want to talk about your sports and experiences later too, because I think it's still so cool that you're working with them. Yeah, we can absolutely do that. I don't know. I mean, I don't know how much I'm allowed to talk about.

Well, I'll be on there tomorrow. Yeah, you will. For 10 holding. You're going to plug a podcast?

No, no, no. You're only going to plug podcasts. No, I'll plug RGS. I always plug this whenever I appear on a thing.

How often does that? Okay. That's why our listenership has gone down. I think that's why.

They're like, oh boy, let's never check that out. And then they also, I like it. They go on the radio and then stop listening. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Or though I like the idea that the listenership goes down because their friend is like, ah, you should check out this podcast real good show. And they're like, oh, I heard that guy on the radio. He fucking sucks. You listen to that podcast, you should stop.

Exactly. They're actively making their friends stop listening to it. Exactly. I like that.

There's some people who can never stop listening. Apparently not. Like they want more of it. So then they donate to the show.

Yeah. And they have, we've gotten emails or tweets recently rather from people saying that they have the entire backlog of the show in like a three weeks span, which is even crazier than when Duncan, I don't know, did it in like a month. And that shouldn't be allowed. It's a speed run of RGS.

Who could do it faster? Who could speed run RGS? The problem with speed running is that there's a new episode every week. So let's let's say the first 100 episodes, let's get, I mean, I guess the fastest way to listen to it would be to be like, however, long, like the run, just like, no, like you just do it all in a row.

Yeah. There's like a limit how fast it is. There's like a 1.5 speed on your podcast app on Apple phones anyways. I think you can just, I think you can away with two called iPhones on your Apple phones.

Yes. Yes. As we sit here recording using an Apple book, of course. I think also like, if you could do like 10 times speed and still kind of get the gist of it.

No, that's a little fast, but 1.5. Yeah. I mean, I think there's got to be what in like episode 12, there's a glitch where if you just go through this one portal, you skip it into episode 49. It took speed runners a long time to find it, but you get through 27 episodes.

Yeah. If you use the work whistle on Jesse for R's first appearance, you can jump to his, last appearance. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.

And it's just like Mario in that you find the work whistle in giant world. And of course, that's a reference to Jesse for R's weight. Speaking of Jesse for R, he was on our, one of our donor episodes this month. And you can hear that if you donate $5 a month, like these new donors.

Thank you for donating to the show. To the show. You work hard for your money that we know that we know. That we know.

The segments where we read out all your names. All your names. If we say it wrong, your parents are to blame. Fuck your parents.

All right. We have three donors this week if I'm not mistaken. We do. And donor number one, a man who was shamed and donated on last month or last week's episode.

Jamie Sessford. Jamie Sessford. We will say his whole name now and we will not call him a cesspool. I really think he got him to do it though.

It did. Yes. He decided to donate $5. He's, he's been a day one fan.

I know he's definitely listened to every episode and I'm sure he will actually enjoy going back and checking out the bonus content. Now that was such a successful technique, John, that I'm going to do it in such a vague way right now that maybe everyone will think it's about that. Okay. All right.

If you've been listening since day one, look, you know who you are. I don't need to say your name. I know it. It's definitely happened.

That was it. Jimmy Dean. We all know it. You're out there just taking in this free content week after week.

Yeah, bitch. Just enjoying it. Just yucking it up every single week. You think this is for free?

You're right. It is. We've just been giving it away for free the whole entire time. Yeah, we did for free.

But if you choose to pay for it, that'd be kind of nice too. Yeah, it's cool. It's cool. If you do that, I mean, we had one person donate $10 a month for one month and then just never donate again.

And I mean, that's better than zero. Yeah. Right. Yeah.

Thank you. Every penny helps. I'm still poor. I got a tweet today from David Jaffe asking if my new job means I'm not poor anymore.

Let me tell you David. No. We live in Vancouver. We're all poor.

What's definitely in LA? We're all there's no solution to porn is for us. Yeah. Other than socialism.

So let's open it. We're inching government. We're inching toward it. Yeah.

Someday soon maybe. Someday soon. But in the meantime, if you want your name set on this program, just like Jamie Sesford, there's only one way to do it. There's only one way.

Two more people did that this week. Yeah. Two more people did do that this week. It is a snake case.

Snake case. Yes. Sounds like condoms. It sounds like that.

Or it sounds like if you're super cool and you carry around a briefcase on your handcuff to your wrist and people think it's like a movie script, but it's just a really dangerous snake. I think that's a super badass villain move. Oh, yeah. Briefcase.

I know this is my snake. Somebody forces you to open the case at gunpoint. Yeah. I'm like, I'm like, you don't want me to open this case.

They're like, yo motherfucker. They're holding the gun sideways. They're holding the gun sideways like real gangster shit and you're like, Brad Pitt and seven. Exactly.

You don't want me to open this case. Trust me. And they're like, I would definitely want you to open this case bitch. I want to see Star Wars episode 14 or whatever.

I want to see the script and you're like, trust me, you don't want me to open this. And then they're like, open the fucking case. I think Pulp Fiction would have been a lot better too. There was just a dangerous snake and such.

Yeah. Way better. Way better. I'm just pretending like I get that.

And the... I assume most people get that reference, but not me. Who doesn't watch films. No, never have.

And finally, Kevin Hoffman. That's a real sounding name. Yeah. A $5 donor.

Thank you to you. Kevin Hoffman. You know what? Gary Coincidence.

When I did that vague little tease earlier. Kevin Hoffman is exactly who I was talking about. Oh. It's funny how that works out.

Interesting. You're welcome. Do the fold. Okay.

I thought you were saying that it was supposed to be like that you were supposed to make it for multiple, like not just one person, but it was for one person. I guess it's been resolved now and no one else. I mean, I guess. I didn't really work it well.

Yeah. Well, no, you shouldn't say no one. I mean, a lot of people leave that out now. No, no.

Go back and believe some more. Keep it in. You know who you are. You know who you are, Binch.

All right. That's what the people say online now. Binch. Binch.

Binch. That's the thing to say. I'm just saying on the internet. Right.

It's not even a binch. It's not even a binch. It's not even a binch. It's not a binch.

It's not a binch. It's not a binch. It's not a binch. Right.

Right. Binch. We're relegated to other replies. You know?

The bottom of all the replies. That's like Twitter with Swares. That's what the good replies are. I know.

Binch. I know that they get pushed down there. Very unfortunate. Just to speak earlier to our poverty situation, I'm going to complete my E.I.

report. Well, it's next to us. But you're working again. I'm working again now.

Yes. Alright. Okay. So I just have to keep up with my report.

Yeah. It's cool. Also, you're waiting on your workman's comp from W Home Land Line Blueoff after leg? Hey, man, I said not to talk about that.

It was actually really embarrassing for me because, okay, this is why I didn't want to bring it up. There's actually a water mine, it was very embarrassing. No ones you'd ever heard of them. I'd never heard of them just swimming.

All of a sudden. There goes my legs. tucked up shit. And you know like at least with land mine I feel like some dignity to it.

You know. But water mine disgraceful. I saw it floating full of it. So you touched it.

Yeah, I thought you wouldn't. You wouldn't. Yeah, of course. Well, I didn't want to blow my hand off.

So I just stuck my leg out. I was like, oh, turtle. It's like when my dog is like rolled over on her belly and I'm too lazy to go down and like give her a rub. I'll just rub her belly with one of my feet.

Yeah, exactly. You try to do that to a turtle. Exactly. Exactly.

And then it blew my leg off. I have legless. Repeat legless. Well, we talked about it last week a little bit, but I got invited to the Canucks.

Oh, yeah. Influencer. Yeah, I guess it actually happened. You got a social influencer event, which was on Thursday.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we fixed in with the media kickoff event. So they were like all of the reporters and radio and TV people were there also, which was kind of weird. So, okay, we didn't talk.

I didn't actually ask you on our DM. Were the influencers, like people you knew? Yes, some of them. Okay.

Some of them. Derek Bolen was there. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it was very nice to see him.

I think I met him in person once. I was just a large Twitter following. I don't really know. He works for a social media company, I think.

Yeah, exactly. Sure. It's good to see him there. Oh, yeah, he's a great guy.

He's a good dude. I have a great story about, actually I got a great story about Derek Bolen. And he was not the only listener I can't share on the show. Who was at the event?

Somebody came over to me and said that it was a pleasure to meet me because they liked the show and listened every week. Unfortunately, I do not remember who this person was. Oh, you're probably listening right now and you're thinking, I just big-time to you because I remember you, but I do remember you. I just don't remember your name.

I'm sorry. You should have done like that other guy did and just said hi, but then left. Yeah, no, he did do that. Oh, he was like, I love the show.

He was like, I don't want to bother you. He walked on a bother. Yeah, because you're bothered all the time. And in fact, some reality that this week while I was at karaoke at the American on Wednesday, I think it was Brandon Pasco Laddo.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pasco Laddo. He's a big fan of podcasts. He also came over here.

And said that he loves the show and he tagged me in a tweet that I just shred karaoke, which of course everybody knows that. No, it's true. I've never seen it. If you hear me sing like, like, Baron of Ciblates a couple of weeks ago, of course I could kill karaoke.

What else am I going to do? What else am I going to do? I don't know. Fuck him kill it.

Of course I did. I mean, whatever. That's fine. Yeah, it's not old or dated or overdone at all.

No, it's great. I walked into this event and the first person to greet me shakes my hand and says, great, hilarious tweet that you did, but we're not going to murder you. That's what they knew who I was. Yeah, because you said that they had to murder you immediately.

Yeah. So they were looking at you. Are they trying to murder you? I wasn't sure.

I actually checked underneath my cups when they brought me free drinks to make sure that my cup was not labeled and had poison in it. To make sure that the cup wasn't a turtle. Exactly. I checked that too.

Did you bring a food tester along? No. Trevor Linden, though, was in the food line before me. That was fair enough.

Yeah, that is fair enough. Yeah, you said that he was very excited about food. Grilled cheese hotdogs. He was right in front of me in line and he turned around.

I didn't speak to him because what am I going to say? I'm going to walk up and be like, Trevor, great. Love big fan. Love you.

Love you since I was a kid. By the way, the last three years of completely tarnished reputation forever and I hope you realize it was a huge mistake. Am I going to say that to him? No.

No, I mean, you could. No, I did not. I mean, you could have said it to him. I just felt like that was like the one time you could have said it to him.

I mean, I'll probably meet him again. I've met him before. So that's how it usually works for me. I feel like if I ever meet anyone, I'll meet him again.

Well, it happened so far. I met him a couple times. I know that was just funny. It was just the premise of that was funny.

I've met him before. I'm sure I'll meet him again. But I also found out why I got invited. Oh, yes.

I'm sure this show helped a lot. Sure. But after he told me or assured me rather that they were not going to murder me, though, very funny to eat. I was like, yeah, sorry about that.

Yes, funny. I'm not mad about that. He's like, well, I also said what we said on the show last week, which is if you did more than 30 seconds of research into who I am, you would have known that I would do that. And he said it was a risk that we assumed and it's fine.

That's how desperate the Canucks are. But then he was like, we care if you shit all over us. We just want you to talk about us. But then he was like, how is your brother's wedding?

I was supposed to be there. I was like, what the fuck? And apparently the social media manager for the Vancouver Canucks, his name is David Kyle, lovely gentleman. He's dating a family friend of mine.

And she recommended me to him as an influencer. He probably did 30 seconds of research. And I was like, yeah, this guy fits the bill. Sure.

I was like, oh, never trust him. I just want to apologize for not, he hasn't blocked me yet somehow, first of all. But I do want to apologize. If not, if not, if not, if not, if not, when I installed the team and I tagged the account in the insults, it's about the management and a few of the players.

And I guess a lot of the people kind of higher up in the company. But not him. Not specifically. Not anyone working in the graphic design department.

No, definitely. Yeah, no, I don't want to listen to a show. Yeah. That's not their fault.

They probably bear the brunt of it a lot, presumably, especially the social media people. Oh, yeah, I can't even imagine. I did take the opportunity along with Harrison Mooney of the Vancouver Sun. We did kind of grill him a little bit about, because Jeff's DIPAC, who's the COO of the team, talked about just what an exciting opportunity this is to turn over a new leaf.

They made a bunch of changes in their coaching staff and some reshuffling within the organization and scouting and whatnot. It's like a brand new food menu for the season and new, you know, all kinds of things that the game experience are brand new. And so we're asking David if the social media is also gone under some sort of renaissance and they might change their style a little bit because of course we all know that for the most part, connect Twitter, the official connect Twitter is like really fucking bad. Like embarrassing.

Especially when you look at like what the Golden Knights are doing right now and they're getting recognition from people who aren't even hockey fans. Yeah. How good their Twitter is and like they haven't even played a game yet. And his argument was that we tweet a lot every single day, all day, you know, all season long, all year long.

And the ones that stand out to people are the bad ones and for the most part, most of them are like, if not good, then at least like inoffensive or, you know, I'll call it passable. That wasn't the word that he used. Sure. But basically said that like, you're more inclined to remember the one you hate and then everything else is just going to meld into a big blob of tweets in your memory.

Which is probably true. That's true of everyone's tweets though. Or like just of culture in general. Yeah.

And then I was like, I made that exact point. You look at things that like the LA Kings are doing on like the Vegas Golden Knights and see the reaction that they get from being funny and think like, why don't we do that? And here's the reaction was that like what the LA Kings Twitter in particular doesn't fit the brand of the Vancouver Canucks because it's not like family friendly. But that's kind of bullshit.

They want fam. I mean, I can sort of see that for the Kings, but not for Vegas. Like Vegas is just being funny. They're actually witty people.

Yeah, they're good. Well, the season already scheduled came out last season and every single team in the league being like, hey, we can't even see you on like, whatever, like the day they're playing them was. Like the lamest ship ever. You guys remember that?

Yeah, to save the date tweets for every single game. Yeah, that was the worst thing I've ever seen. Yeah. So done.

It was a massive. It was a massive thing. It was embarrassing. It was embarrassing.

It was embarrassing. It was embarrassing. It was embarrassing. It was embarrassing.

It was embarrassing. It was embarrassing. But it's like in a way, I'm glad they don't try to be funny because I don't think they're going to be able to do it. So like just be in offensive.
