| 0:22.3 | What up? How are you? How's going? We're on a Lakers shirt again, I see. People probably think I have like seven of them. I have two. But like I wear in, I have inside clothes, you know? So it's like I take a shower and I put on a shirt that I just wear around the house. And I wear that shirt around the house. But I only see you when you're in the house. |
| 0:37.9 | So every time I see you, you have a Laker shirt on. And you'll never see me in public with a Laker shirt on. Not because I'm ashamed of the Lakers, but because I'm very picky about how things fit me. Right. If I buy something and it doesn't fit right, it's like, okay, this is another inside the house. |
| 0:40.6 | Piece of a garment or whatever. |

And we walk out the theater and she's like, eh, it was just kind of mid. |
| 1:31.9 | And I'm like, okay, yeah, that's what I think too. |
| 1:35.5 | And then she said that like everybody she knows that she's talked to after she saw it just says like, yeah, I don't get it. |
| 1:37.3 | I don't understand the hype of it. |
| 1:40.0 | It's probably some sci-up where it's like they paid 10,000 influencers to just be overly, like, enthusiastic and, you know, gushing about it. |
