So, Dave, that was my takeaway from the night.

J

Jordan CooperHost

6:16

And I went to three of the shows.

J

Jordan CooperHost

6:17

You went to two of them.

6:19

Okay, I didn't know it was a contest.

J

Jordan CooperHost

6:21

It's not.

J

Jordan CooperHost

6:22

I was going to say that.

J

Jordan CooperHost

6:23

Seems like it is now.

J

Jordan CooperHost

6:23

Not bad.

J

Jordan CooperHost

6:24

Well, I went to two.

J

Jordan CooperHost

6:25

You would have gone to the third one.

J

Jordan CooperHost

6:26

You just

6:26

couldn't.

6:27

Yeah, maybe I'd go to the third one.

6:28

I don't know.

6:30

I

J

Jordan CooperHost

6:30

think I could have dragged you along.

6:31

Well, I went to the second one because you bought tickets for it mid-show.

J

Jordan CooperHost

6:35

Yeah, that's the one I wanted to talk about, too.

J

Jordan CooperHost

6:37

And you said,

6:38

hey, Dave, guess what?

J

Jordan CooperHost

6:40

We're coming back tomorrow.

J

Jordan CooperHost

6:42

That's not true.

J

Jordan CooperHost

6:43

I think I asked Dave 50 times, should I get tickets? And you were like, oh, yeah, maybe.

J

Jordan CooperHost

6:49

I don't know.

6:51

Yeah, but I was drunk.
