00:00:18.200 Like, I don't really like know who you are,
00:00:19.580 but like I hug everybody, like I'm super personal.

00:00:24.580 these people are just different people.
00:00:25.920 But like, it's not really a debate when you go in

00:00:44.240 So like clearly people resonate with it.
00:00:46.260 And then at that point, you're just insulting like my character.

00:00:49.880 And like, I just don't know what he was trying to get at.
00:00:53.020 But I, I, it was just so funny the whole time to me.
00:00:55.620 yeah he just he seems like a nice enough kid but but I just think he's kind of young like that's
00:01:04.240 kind of what you were saying in the I was like you baby you're too young we're not doing this
00:01:08.160 31 years old I don't come from a rich family I've had many jobs many careers it's funny to sit here
00:01:13.960 and tell me I'm dumb because I didn't go to a brainwashing school meanwhile like that is such
00:01:18.520 a elitist thing to say to someone who could afford to go to school even though you're the party of 0.83
00:01:22.660 like oh no we want to take care of everybody it's not your fault but it's just like nothing there's 0.99
00:01:27.660 nothing to accomplish there and he's also like kind of just like an annoying little shithead 0.92
00:01:32.840 right and i was just like everything you say and do is weird it's weird that you're saying partner 0.99
