Transcript excerpt

No this guy has no idea. He is my like better, and he'll just never know. He'll never know. So I just wanna take this time right now to introduce you to Boba. Boba is my son. He's five. And he has this little little saying, look look look look it's you. It's you, sir. Clearly, he hates this and does not care, so you can go. Anyways, I think it's really cool that I could have made my life better anything, and I chose to make him. No, Boba, are you gonna be grateful? He wants a treat. Let's not give him a treat. Good boy.
