Yes. Okay. Yes, absolutely. And um and you know, it starts off very peaceful and quickly escalates into an uncontrollable war. Which is why we have an ale pong table.

Yeah. And we're talking from so far away. Yeah. At the moment. Yeah, I feel so distant from you, else.

Yeah. Our romcom will develop and we'll get to know.

I feel like you're I feel like you're in prison right now. I'm trying to sneak you the. I'm. Okay, so give me a great if we're going to like, we're going to call it like flashback neighbors. We want like a great flashback story of something that happened either with Seth or or Zach or something on set that was just epic. That was just epic. Yes.

Oh wow. Um I mean I'm sure there were a lot of moments with all those boys put together. Dave. Dave Franco and Chris. I mean it We had moments. I mean, you know, where we would just um I don't know I'm trying to think of something epic because you can't you use the word epic and I can't let you down now. Okay. I've said the bar really really high. I think probably I don't even think it was epic like Zach like injured himself like during a fight scene like really, yeah, the stitches and the whole thing after yeah, yeah, injured himself. So, you know, it got it got real.

That's real acting. That's real. So, how did that happen? Was it a real punch? He was throwing and he connected by accident. Does him and Dave have a fight scene?
