[00:17:03]>> Well, [ __ ] Yeah, I mean I would have put my serve a little better I had known this Tom Foolery was going to be committed. If you want to have a little tidbit, Sean in one of our other videos got made fun of for being red shorts and it's like the friend that like you had to just bring along. So Eric today thought he'd wear red shorts to take some of the heat off Sean.

[00:17:27]>> Feed him. Yeah, >> I was like the ball in your head.

[00:17:40]>> I was like you.
