An excerpt example of reason eight million five thousand and fourty three why I'm not-so-secretly sideways a little bit in love with my friend Kevin, who I am pleased to say I licked once on the side of the head:

So we get to set early and Reel EFX are overseeing the first segment of the show (Fire vs. Ice) One kid on a snow maker and the other on a flame thrower doing the whole "Woo-Hoo Awesome!" thing. But the kid on the flamethrower keeps complaining that "Oh...It's HOT, It's HOT... And we're all thinking "Kid....you're 16 and you're getting to set off a flamethrower. No one bitches when you get to set off a flamethrower. Ever. It's a fundamental principle. There are 5 billion flamethrowerless children in the world who would trade spots with you this very second. Have some respect...."
