00:18How do we both know each other slash? How do you know me?

00:22You know farmersonly.com. It's the dating website for people who are interested in farming. I think that's how we initially met

00:28Well, I know that. Yeah, my question. Did you copy

00:32the style of Alex Wolfe from Naked Brothers Band?

00:36And is that your fashion inspiration? Guys, you have to pull up a photo of little tiny Alex from the Naked Brothers Band

00:42You have to find one where he's wearing

00:45the game

00:46But I was all the time

00:48I was always wearing that and I kind of was trying to get back to it today and I put like I had a face

00:52In my pants. When was the last time you were starstruck other than meeting me?

00:57Probably when I met you. Stop. Seriously? Get the hell out of here. I mean literally with you too. Yeah, literally

01:35Do you think we could do that or no? I'm paying attention. What sound or noise do you hate?

01:44I mean, this is more of a sensation but like I rock climb the sound of the chalk rubbing between your fingers

01:51You don't like that. I don't like that. You mean because it like crushes? It's like little balls of it

01:55It's just like the feeling of chalk on my fingers really really bothers me. Me too

02:00I don't like the sound of like whoop on your phone like people's notifications. Oh

02:07My god, I can't even okay, I'm gonna say that I think it's alarm. That's for me. That's the one

10:15It's super cool that Billy's got Tourette's and we're like very hyper and I think I've always felt a little like too much

10:22And then I think it was like whoa. Yeah, I was like you're as we're so together. It's like

10:28Well, and also the fact that the fact that we're doing this together. I feel like if you were watching you'd be like, oh
