HEY ALSO: IF YOU'RE ON YOUR PHONE, DON'T TOUCH THE WORDS IN THE GREY BOXES. TOUCH TO THE RIGHT OF THE WORDS IN THE GREY BOXES. If you touch the words, you won't see anything. Why? I don't know. Ask Steve Jobs, or that little green robot thing. And if you don't have an iPhone or an Android, can I ask you a question? Do you have a Pixel? Do you like it? Because I've heard...okay, anyway--
What's good, Bulldogs?!

We'll show you how to use the online tools you'll need and issue you some social media challenges that will probably result in some sweet, sweet prize action. So whaddya waitin' for?
