Transcript excerpt

I'm done with the heat. We're gonna go put aluminum foil in the windows because I heard it helps. It works. It works. I put it on the outside because I heard if you put it on the inside, it can cause your windows to crack because this way all the heat doesn't touch the window. I did all the windows. It is 10 degrees cooler in here than it was thirty minutes ago. I did every single window. I used water and a spray bottle to get it to stick. It is cool in here. I can breathe. Do it. Do it. Put aluminum foil on your windows.
