Hah! Interesting video, never seen it before.

Maybe I'm being suggestible because you raised it, but they all seem to have that shell-shocked, thousand yard stare that only comes after months of crunch time and no rest.

Both hilarious and sad. Their words are polished PR but their eyes say “I’m close to divorce and my kids don’t know me.”
