best of We almost made it ayear, guys. We almost for a

(07:08):
year told you to take the dayoff, with some big breaks in between,

(07:28):
day of take the day off,we used to hawk something called bramble gym
plus. I don't know if youremember it. Um oh, yeah,
it's still a thing and it's stillwonderful. And I feel as though you
you might could you might occasionally heara little bit more take the day off.
If you had Bramble Gym plus.Brambel Gym Plus is kind of a
rip off, got five dollars.It's just they just took the commercials out

kind of yeah. Yeah, andthe twenty a lunch with the boys.

that? Five dollars to save youliterally a milliseconds. I don't understand why
anyone would do it. We justkind I think we just did it for
the suckers. We did it forthe suckers. You're right, we did.

road trips, to be honest withyou, Yeah, not really my thing,
not your thing. I would ratherget be in a city, fly
to the city and see the city. I don't want to see the random

(15:11):
rows and trees. Like. Yeah, I've never been a thing that I've
fully loved the road trip. Ithink if it's my problem is the lack
of efficiency, Like if it's somethingthat's saving me money or it's quicker than
I'm in, if it's not thatI'm typically not in. The Geronimo thing
was fun, like that was afun experience. But if we went to
