But how are you doing right now here in Miami? We're doing great, man. Just glad to be down here, glad to be a part of Mountain to do zero sugar.

I mean, it's just been a major experience. And I'm doing it with my brother, so you can't ask for more than that. That's what to do it. That's right. So we got the connect four out here. And I was going to ask maybe if you guys wanted to play. I didn't even have to ask. You guys are going straight at it.

I don't know if I should do the play-by-play. But we got the Connect 4 game going here. So, yeah, you guys here for some Mountain Dew. And I was reading this thing, and it's talking about how it has the new commercial with the film The Shining. You guys are way too young to know anything about the Shining. Why? Why do you have to be young to know the Shining? Come on, man.

Just seeing the whole entire thing, see how he came out. And just seeing the vision that it was given and even having a mountain doing the hand and being over the show, the vision of the shining. I mean, it was crazy because you never seen a scary commotion with the mountain doing it. But you know, they did that amazing job with it.

And they know, they're trying to have the twins. I feel like we need to remake our part where we actually get a chance to play the twins in the show. Okay, you're going to put the dressing on and everything and got the blood coming out of the elevator? The outfit might be a little different.

Actually, we've got to break pretty soon. But you guys, how about Mountain Dew? Who could drink the most Mountain Dew? That's tough. I mean, that would be a definite battle. And, you know, us drinking Mountain Dew growing up, especially it being a part of us. We used to drink Mountain Dew before every Little League game. You know, the Mountain Dew vote just to give us energy.

I remember he drunk one, and I remember the next thing, you know, he's scoring a 60-yard touchdown. So you're like, now I have to get one. It's crazy because my mom was it. We used to really, like, we thought, like, you know what? We got to have this Mountain Dew for the game. It's our ritual. If you don't have it, I won't play well. That's not bad.
