Plot[]
Mike, Jay, and Rich watch the end of Resident Evil: Afterlife.
“ Just a note here: None of this was faked or even acted or enhanced. Rich Evans cannot fake his laughter. Sometimes it happens. Sometimes it doesn't. I can also not fake this. By the end I couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard. A lot was because of Rich laughing. Also, no drugs were involved other than a few beers. Jay nor I were "wasted" or anything like that. I think a major factor was we watched 4 movies in a row and it was 1am. But, hell, it was still hilarious. —Mike”
