Are you guys best friends?
Yeah, of course. Some aren't. No, it's true. Actually, it feels like most aren't for some reason. It feels like siblings don't get along as they should. But she told me you're great at basketball. That's what she told me she told you. She said, like, I told him to ask you about basketball. I was like, I don't know why she said that, too. I'm okay. She said you loved basketball. I love basketball. I still love it. Did you play in high school? My claim to fame with basketball in high school, Is that I didn't play on the team. I played baseball. Quit to like try theater, which is another story. But like anyways, didn't play on the basketball team. But in senior year, they were doing a three on three like school wide basketball tournament.
And like the players on the team would play in it. And I took two of my friends that weren't on the team and we won the whole thing.
And you guys had not played basketball.
Yeah. We weren't like on the team, but we play basketball, but we weren't like on the team and making it our whole personality. And then we won.
And we're the people that were on the team. So embarrassed.
Yeah. And I have this hole in my jeans and I'm just like, yeah, that's just the right amount of real estate.
