Transcript
As you guys know, we've been pretty hard on my sister's boyfriend for the past few years. Nice to meet you, Troy. It's Troy. That's what I said. And I'll be honest with you. There were times I actually felt bad. My name is Troy, not Troy. Alright, Troy. Well, I hope we see you again sometime soon, man. But over the years, I've realized there's nothing I can do about him and my better. And I invited him up to my worse, and we actually hung out for a whole day. And I'll be honest to him. He's not that bad. And I ended up apologizing for all the hard times I've put him through. And on top of that, I actually started calling him by his real name, Trey. Dude, did you hang that up? Yeah. I hung that up. I can tell it's leaning. That is not leaning. Oh my god. I am so sorry. I can get you a new one. Get the out. Well, that was pretty short lived. You, Troy.
