Transcript excerpt

I had this dream last night. Right? This guy, he comes onto the subway. He hands me a water bottle, and I'm like, dude, what what's this what's going on? And then Mad boy, bro. No. Mad boy. Yo. I'm a head out. It was good to see you, though. Alright. Take care. Yo. Tell the family it's a night. Alright. Alright, bro. Peace. Thank you, dude. Alright. So after this, you know, I think I might head on the four twenty l I double r out to the Hamptons to see my parents, maybe my baby. And this weekend, I'm thinking food, family, football. Super boring, bro. Super boring. Don't ever say that again. But, take care of my head out. Alright? Yeah. Alright. Peace, bro.
