Transcript excerpt

Bruh, what the fuck is a dream? What do you mean I doze off and emerge in a whole different dimension talking to figments in my imagination that I completely made up? And the wild part is I best believing all of the dumb shit in a dream. Yeah. For sure, Rank. You're the starting shooting guard for the Berkeley Trail Warriors and Dane passes youth a ball to take the game when it shines? Bruh, not only did you air ball, who the fuck are the Berkeley Trail Warriors? Why would Danny and Lillard pass youth a ball? Why is the basketball game in rank airborne football stadium? And is that Michael Jordan rank Kobe Bryant shooting dice on the sideline? Why does Kobe have a pistol next to him? He looked like he tripping, but that's the kind of shit I'd be thinking is real. And in my brain, I tier to delete the evidence like I didn't just have a full fledged four ks cinematic life changing experience. You deleted my 11 ks, my mega mansion, the Super Bowl drive, the Porsche, my $85,000,000 net worth, my intergalactic spaceship, and my fourteen inches dick. That's weak. I had a fourteen inches dick and I woke up to regular me. I had a dream I was a bottle of protein powder rolling down the hill
