I'm just over here free basing Diet Dr. Pepper daily, so it's fine. I do love Diet Dr. Pepper, though. Yeah. I'll be in Texas in a week and a half, and I'm just preparing my body for the amount of diet.

Dr. Pepper, it'll have to drink.

Because those people don't fucking believe in Coke products and that's why they should all go to hell.

That's why.

That's why.

Not because they're all my exes.

We have one of many reasons.

Thank you for tuning to Horror Virgin.

I'm Paige.

And I'm your Horror Virgin, Todd, which means I don't like scary movies, but you guys make me watch them.
