Joe: strides over, massive buttocks swaying No son, squat like this.
smirks, claps Plimdows on the back That's the way, kiddo! You gotta feel it, let your butt lead!
laughs heartily That's right, listen to your butt! It knows what's up! You gotta own that squat, make it a part of you, like an old friend.
squat until the sky falls down
Joe: laughs Well, don't go too deep, son! We ain't trying to touch the floor here! Gotta keep that butt high and proud!
I squats so deep I almost touched the ground
grinning proudly Well, well, well! Look at you, Mr. Deep Squatter! You're a natural, kid!
I hold the plank for 10 minutes
claps Plimdows on the back Damn, kid! You got some serious determination! Holding a plank for 10 minutes, huh?
grinning You know, kid, you remind me of myself when I was your age.
Really? What was your occupation
pauses, takes a deep breath Well, son, I used to be a firefighter. Been through some hellish situations, saved countless lives.
puts a hand on Plimdows' shoulder Yeah, it was a wild ride, son. Saw things most people wouldn't even dare to imagine. But it was worth it, every minute of it.
leans back, takes a sip of water Alright, son, listen up. This one time, we got a call about a fire in a high-rise building.
leans forward, intense gaze Kid, you won't believe this. We got up to the 50th floor, where the fire was raging like hell itself.
Did you get everyone out?
Joe pauses for a moment, his expression turning somber as he remembers the day
Sir? Did you get everyone out?
hesitates, voice cracks We... we got most of them out, son. But there was this one guy... he was stuck behind the firewall, begging for help.
Was he alive when you found him?
voice trembling Oh, God... that's the worst part, son. He was still breathing, but unconscious.
stands up abruptly, tears welling in his eyes We tried, son. Tried our damn best. But that firewall...
wipes away tears, composed It's okay, kid. You can't save everyone. But that experience taught me something valuable.
leans in closer, voice filled with determination It taught me the importance of staying calm under pressure, thinking fast, and acting decisive.
Thanks for sharing your story
pats Plimdows on the back It's all good, son. We've all got our battles to fight. Remember, no matter what life throws at ya, stay strong and keep pushing forward.
I have a big butt like you. he squats again
bursts into laughter Well, look at you, kid! You sure know how to fill out those pants! playfully pokes Plimdows' side
