Jake: Speaking of rolling, I've decided to start a bread company. Emma: And what's the twist? You're going to make only pretzels? Jake: Nope. I'm going to specialize in "doughnut" bread. Emma: How does that even work? Jake: It's bread with a hole agenda. Alex: Ugh, how kneady of you, Jake. [An image is sent to the group chat.

I just wanted to see your reactions. Emma: You little yeast monster. Alex: Knew it was too crumby to be true. Emma: Okay, I got one for you guys. What did the adult movie star say when he retired? Jake: In a pg-chat please, Emma. Alex: Yeah, don't go too hard...core on us. Emma: He said, "I decided to pull out, now it's someone else's turn to take the load." Jake: OMG that's both an "ahahahaha" AND an "oh shit" moment! Alex: Emma for the win. Jake: Speaking of pulling out, I just took my pizza out of the oven. [A photo is sent to the group chat. It's a pizza with a smaller pizza in the middle.] Emma: What the heck is that? Pizza-ception? Jake: It's a pizza with a mini pizza pocket. It's for those who can't decide between a pizza or a hot pocket. It's a "cheesy" solution! Alex: Looks like a slice of genius. Emma: Guys, I think we've officially lost it. Jake: As long as we don't lose our sense of humor, we'll be just fine. Emma: True that. Also, I love you dorks. Alex: Love you two weirdoughs!
