It’s one for the ages.

“‘Oh, yeah, I’ve done it a thousand times,’ which I’ve never even wanted to.”

That sounds like something that could have gone badly wrong, but it didn’t – thankfully.

His story went down rather well – as, it seems, he did down the side of the building.

Actors live by a rule: if asked, you know how to do it. Then call and schedule lessons asap.

Lived in California my whole life and it blows my mind that some Californians swear we don’t have accents.

This is EXACTLY how I do things at the office and job interviews. “Are you good with Excel?” Yes. *Googles lessons and tutorials in Excel immediately*

The moral of the story is lie to get ahead.

This is the equivalent to studying for a test 5 minutes before class starts and somehow acing it.

Well just like that. They made money. I am craving a mars bar, haven’t had one for a long time. hadn’t even thought about it until now.

You may be curious about the ad, as we were, so here it is. A little bit grainy, but worth seeing the fruit of Bryan’s deception.

He didn’t even need to rappel.
