      It is funny because they really have a similar cadence to their voices. At times it really sounds like it could be Arin. Had I clicked on this without paying attention to the intro I probably would have thought it was just a kinda sleepy Arin with a sore throat. 14% battery Arin.
      But pretty soon the distinct lack of piss, dick, butt and poop jokes would have tipped me off...
