00:12

beginnings Go see the stage play hamilton if you really

00:16

think about it all right let's See we're going to

00:19

skim the perpetrator was laying drink some of that Thanks

00:21

for thinking of me talking like that And neither was

00:23

their attainable basis interpretation and bring us all that we

00:25

have a little fun doesn't Committee five comprised of anyone

00:28

coming and going places domination But if you're looking for

00:29

telling them that we were never the last song with

00:32

your sweet thing all right so we've skimmed it's like

00:35

what we do every time here Let's go Look at

00:37

the first one here was lean Sounds like a competitor

00:41

to the spanx underwear brand there Maybe Maybe All right

00:45

01:33

agency to lie down it's an object that someone else
