0:10 I've always had this friend named horrible
0:12 I've been playing Rainbow six siege with him and my other friend Coulson for a long time his real name's Mike
0:18 But we just called horrible because that's what we know we never met in person
0:22 And a one-time Coulson almost joke and they brought it up that we should go visit, Hawaii
0:27 The idea will be started snowballing and it became a real plan
0:31 When eventually decide we packed my car up full of luggage and food and snacks
0:41 It was a 29 hour drive, but who is extremely long a little bit dreadful
