Transcript excerpt

About to head out on a date with someone that I met online, and I don't even have to send my location to anyone. It's 10PM, so I might go for a run-in the dark. Both earbuds in. Wait, this razor is $2? And this shampoo? Five in one? Skin, hair, bad, all of it? Incredible. I interrupted three people in a meeting today, and they called me a strong leader. A strong leader. Ugh. I'm getting crow's feet and smile lines. People are gonna think I'm so much hotter now. You silver fox. Big important dinner tonight. Big decision. Plain white tea or a graphic tier? Graphic. I love that. I told the doctors I was in pain, and they just believed me. I just ran the best that I better, and they didn't even ask if I was stressed. Incredible. Well, it's time to weigh myself. I've gained five kilos? Dad bod.
