Transcript excerpt

I hate when you start talking to someone or start dating someone and they hit you up late night asking for a pic. A pic of what? Listen. I have facial cream that's making me look crazy. I'm wearing Mickey Mouse pants and I just ate a whole tub of ice cream, so I'm pregnant with a food baby. There's nothing cute going on here.
