That's our sentiment exactly. And these targets here that you see that are lit up with the yellow that say 200, it's an interesting switch because you have to hit it dead on to get the 200 because if you hit around it, you only get about 50, which is pretty rad. W-double-D radio, new on W-double-D. W-double-D. Meat House Oh Um Anyway Is that uh Is that Mugsy Bows No that was nobody Don't look at that Go boom How much is that skill shot worth 200 points 200 points for the Blinkies Missed it Good ball I didn't even get to flip There we go Moo Custom speech by the one and only Rod Olson Fudge Who Rod Olson I feel like there's a joke there, and we're being trolled.
