Sunglasses on. We're ready to, you're ready to go. Ok. By the way, if you want these sunglasses, Thunderbolt 12 is packed with sunglasses. So if you ever see it, knock on the windows and Scott will honk you up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we're having fun. It's somewhere on News 12 and we're outside. So Nick and some have been this morning learning how to throw axes. I think Nick's picked it up a little bit, uh, more easily. Sima still got a little ways to go there. Come on, you got to get some practice standing next to her. I know. Yes, I'm holding a weapon right here. No, Nick had beginner's luck, you know. Second try. Look. Oh, luck right now with us right now. There is such a thing. Come on, there is such a thing as I'm gonna start back. Are you sure you're ok with me behind us right here? All right, you're making sure. All right, ready. Hold on. Just release at your face there. Good. Oh, very good. All right, so good at this. This is a lot of fun. Team building or team breaking up. I don't know. Some people, some people actually do bring photographs. No, nothing political, but we do let we've had a lot of baby reveals. Really we put balloons up with the color of the baby in it. It's really fun. We've had proposals there. Many, many, many I was, I was thinking divorce parties or something. A lot of bachelor and bachelorette parties. We've had a lot of sweet 16. So yeah, it is definitely not only team building but individual people. And we do have eight locations in New Jersey everywhere from Cherry Hill all the way up to what have the challenges been like in growing that business over the last several years here, finding amazing staff because it is an art to teach people how to do this. It's not that hard really. You know, you really, you want to, we want to find a masters like Ashley that are up up and are willing to teach you and things like that. So we want to make sure that we have good people because we want you to have an exciting and excellent time. Every time I can see, oh, I can't, people need to see that. I think we, I think we're going to challenge him to a kill shot. What do you think the kill shot is the and you're ready? Are you ready? And we say kill? Oh nice here at wait, wait till your coworker walks away. Sorry. Safety first. Now, Heidi, I did uh check out Barry the hatchet in Freehold for a road trip. And it was really, it was hard, but eventually I did get a bull's eye. But I think that was like, I have it on tape. I will show you the next location is just two miles from our escape room. I don't know why it's not, but this is, I had this problem last time too. That's how some of this started. You mentioned the escape room, right? So that's another part of the business. Yes, we have eight escape rooms, five of which are right near are buried, the hatchet. So we do escape and axes. Yeah, it can be a go for it. Nick. I'm gonna switch shoes with you. I'm gonna see how well you do and heal. Ok? Because yeah, I do have heels on and I'm a left hand hug. Ok. All right. And exactly as you were. Ok. Same thing. All the way through. All right. Last try here. Ready? Oh, yeah. But she is the a master extraordinaire. We don't want to lose you. We don't want to lose you. Great. Yeah. Yeah. These are all like a little here. So we're good. We're good. But it's so much fun. I love the locations you guys have several locations here in New Jersey, but now we're learning that you travel. So this is amazing. And yeah, our one escape room here in Edison and our woodbridge, Barry the hatchet right here. So you guys to come from your team. Does it count if it's outside the most outside? It's got to be on the line. She's, she's touching. So she's good. She's good for the one pointer. OK. All right. Nick, I get it. I get it. You're very good at this. Oh, my goodness. You guys, I'm gonna send it back to you while he takes one more shot.

Well, it is summer and here at News 12 we like to have as much fun as we can all morning long is, um, is ax throwing fun for you? It was until you ruined your beginner's luck for me to shame. Ok. Well, we enjoyed it. Let's see if James Rio and Lauren do will like it just as much. We have bets going on. Uh Who's gonna do better here? I got my money on Laurie. Let's go, James don't embarrass us. Are you sure take your money off of me? That is, are you guys getting this? Are you seeing it? Exactly. Hey, maybe I, maybe I could free freelance at uh, the hack. Hey, a little hatchet toss and a weather forecast. It's perfect together. See that I got, I gotta sharpen my hug. Step into it into your hands. Oh, thank you. There you go. Let's see. Not a five. It's better than nothing. No. Make it look so easy. Like nonchalant finesse. You're just not an angry person. You can't over ax the ax. Oh, there you go. That's, that's like the hardest part. Wait, this is so crazy. This could go anywhere. This little cage and it's all safe. We actually have two of them. Yes, we're safe because our ax misses are always there giving a little lesson. Making sure as long as your toes are covered. We're, we're cool. Maybe steel toe boots might be a better idea for some. Right. I get another, another toss. This is so much fun. I love this. Ok. Right. Hand down hug. Oh. Oh, yeah, me too. All right. I got one already. I'm gonna try and get one more. Right. I'm gonna try and get one more newscasters now. Oh, just a recap. I had my money on. I know that you won that because Lauren is super competitive in a very fun way. So I knew she was gonna do it. I'm competitive too. But I just, I couldn't, I couldn't get, you know, better luck next time. I guess I would say more practice. It was fun though.
