[01]
Overview
The creator introduces the premise that he has a list of 'ideal first words' for his future son. He then performs a dramatic lip-sync of the entire famous 'Kick Six' sports commentary from the 2013 Iron Bowl, treating the lengthy, passionate play-by-play as the required first words. He concludes by comically reiterating that if his son doesn't say this exact monologue, he will disown him.

Transcript
I made a list of acceptable first words for my future son. If he doesn't say any of these words not my son. Alright. Ready? First one. Here we go. 56 yarder. It's got no. It does not have the leg. And Chris Davis takes on the back of the end zone. Gonna run it out to the tier, fifteen, twenty, twenty five, thirty, thirty five, forty, forty five, fifty, forty five. There goes Davis. Oh my god. Davis is gonna run it all the way back. Auburn's gonna win the football game. Auburn's gonna win the football game. He ran the midfield go all the way back. He ran it back a 190 yards. They're not gonna keep him up the field tonight. Holy cow. Yeah. If he doesn't say any of that, it's rap. She's not my son.
