I will never, ever tire of this, and Ward’s description of it just makes it all the more compulsory today:
“They need to go to Henry. Here’s Martin, here’s Henry, the diiiiiive…”https://t.co/UKjVP0TqHa

There’s a speech from Ward after Chesney, for those of you who want to skip forward:

The coolest thing about this next video? Ward does that thing he does. At the end, when he shoots for the trash can, you know it’s coming, but he makes you wait. Is he not going to say it? Surely, he’s going to say it. And only then, “Bottom!” It’s this that made me realize that that might be the most magical thing about his voice synched with all those memories all those years.
Enjoy this old April Fool’s prank that caught many off guard about 30 years ago. pic.twitter.com/WRMDz7IEoq
