Good afternoon, how are you all doing? I'm doing good, eating this delicious sandwich that has a lot of Thanksgiving looking things and I don't know what it is but it's a sandwich today and Thanksgiving looking things, Turkey, cheese, coleslaw, mayo and orange mayo and purple mayo on it. A taste of America, it's wonderful. I feel like all of my college years, all I do is eat sandwich.

I don't eat sandwiches as much but when I do, I really go for it, so this is a good one. So what's new, FabiNito, what have you done this week? Nothing, school is over. I've been going back to my thesis, I am getting ready for my summer and I'm going to a quinceñera en Juarez, so I'm looking forward to that.

2:28.8

Do you get sick of them? You don't, right? They're really heavy. Yeah. So before I would like grub on like three and be like super full and keep fine, but now because I've been eating them for like every meal for the past, I'm trying to find the best Papusas in Las Vegas.
