0:16.7	TikTok star, CEO of Illusioned Bronze.
0:20.1	I am feeling extremely white right now. But anyway, Matthew Stevens. Thank you. I should have brought you a bottle, but I only brought a carry-on. But I'll mail you one. And you didn't know my eye color because what's so unique about your brand? I guess, are they? Are they? Greenish brown. Because you have to match, I don't even know my real hair color. Do you have to match your bronze product with your real hair color or your fake? Your natural hair color, eye color, skin tone. If you can figure out what that is, if you remember.

But all right, start from the beginning. Like you were just telling me you grew up in Maryland. Like what was your childhood like? So I grew up in Maryland. Yes. I was there until I was 17.
