Who's gonna break first, fellas? Truth or drink? Yes. Pull a card and either tell the truth or take a sip. What's an unpopular opinion you will never let go of? Probably that pineapple on pizza is the absolute best. Have you ever ghosted someone you were close with? I think I'm gonna buy around. Everyone has to answer or drink. Mike, what's the craziest secret you've never told anybody? I'm a forest buy. What do you even know? What are you talking about? You have to tell the truth in this game. That's part of the game. I am telling the truth. That's a white up my shoulders. Seriously? Really? Yeah. Yeah. How long have you been doing that? About twenty years. Yeah. For a foreign adversary, codenamed Red Hawk. Oh, that's gay. Him. Yeah. That is awesome. Yeah. It's actually just like the movies. Woah. Oh, wow. Yeah. Oh, wow. This is for the truth. It's over, Redhawk. Yeah. Get him, boys. End of the law. I choose three. Thank you. Twenty years. Great work, gentlemen. He's gonna buy parts for a while. So pineapple on pizza? Yeah. I just forget. Let me not forget. Let us know not until he's tried it. Yeah. It's good.
