Transcript excerpt

Lot of new people here since yesterday. My dad's gonna show you his outfit, so be nice to him. What are you doing? Good morning. Today, I'm wearing an outfit that I couldn't make up my mind what I wanted to wear when I looked in my closet, so I decided to pick everything. Where's your sweater from? Japan. Japan. It's Burberry Black. It's a uni glow. Okay. Also from Japan. Where are your pants from? Japan swamped me in Tokyo. Where's your belt from? Vintage. It's way too big, and that's why I think it was left on the rack. But it goes good with my pants, I think. Tennis shoes. These are the original good. They're called. My glasses. Again, salt. Salt. That's the fit. Peace.
