Somebody gets hit, and it's like, what the heck, dude?

Like, what are we doing?

But, like, nobody wanted that to happen.

It did, however...

changed the vibe a little bit like it kind of brought some life to us and i think that that one was especially for for like young guys like robo being in that moment and then having to continue and like bring out a dog and i'm you know like that was uh

You know what I mean?

I was really excited for him and you could tell, and it's not knocking him.

And then you run out the gate and you kind of spread out, but nobody's really sprinting.

You're like half sprinting.
