Why are you so stressed?

It's going great.

Okay, good.

The chocolate pretzels

are a humongous hit.

Good, good. Great.

It's hot, sorry.

But, um, if I introduce you,

will you not be a d*ckhead?

And don't call me names,

and don't say anything stupid

or mean,

and don't, like,

punch me in the face?

[GIGGLES]

Get off.

All our equipment came in

from Canada.

We had it shipped in,

and we had it all rigged

and set up,

and started brewing

about three months ago.

Here you go. Good one.

Thank you.

Uh, we'll be back.

I'm just gonna introduce him

to some other people.

Great to... great to meet you.

Yeah.

Well,

then take the shoes off.

No, no.

I'm... I'm such a shorty.

Who cares?

I don't want your friends

to know how short I am.

Ha-ha!

You're the weirdest.

It's a secret.

It's a secret?

All right,

I won't tell anyone.

Welcome, man.

Hey, all jokes aside,

we've heard

a lot of great things about you,

and we're excited to have you.

Really? Good.

That's great.

Well, what do you think

of the beer, man?

Um, well...

Have a sip.

Pressure's on now.

Big reaction.
