So, Brad, we're not going to throw the same pickup line scenario at you that David dealt with. What a nightmare that would be for all parties. It would not be good. I think we're going to do this sort of scenes from a hat, whose line is it anyway? Yeah. Where basically you're just going to, Brad, throw out lines until we whistle at you and tell you you have to stop. Okay, great. I want to know how we're whistling, though. I'm going to say, bing. Whatever. We will make a noise and you will know to start with a new one until you have nothing interesting to say and then we'll kind of move on to the next one. Cut it, cut it. So, the goal is to correct Brad's behavior. Put the situations we think he will do poorly at, right? We want to help him be better by just pointing out his flaws. Great. All right. Are you ready, Bradley? I'm ready. Ordering a regular sandwich at Subway. Great. Hello.

I really believe Brad(ley) will ask, does anyone have a goat?

There's a good chance I will ask if anyone has a goat. What probably will happen is I will go around to the wedding and talk to every single person
