| 0:17.1 | I didn't think I was gonna get my new mountain bike for like months like eight months |
| 0:22.8 | And I wanted to demo it but a bike shop owner he's pretty smart |
| 0:27.1 | He didn't he couldn't get me a demo so he just secretly ordered me the bike I wanted in my size |
| 0:32.6 | And set me a picture said hey, it's here. There's a bike here. Do you want it? |
| 0:37.2 | And I I'm just going to assume this is another dumb thing I'm doing |

| 1:37.3 | Yeah, I'll have 100 fractions, but if you have a 100 millimeter fork on there |
