Transcript
Me and my boys just threw our life savings into this bar. This is day one of turning it into the best bar at Rutgers University. So far, we've been taking everything off the wall and the ceilings rank figuring out what color we wanna paint the bar. We cleared all the old alcohol off the countertops and underneath the shelves, and we brought it downstairs in the cellar. We just took down all the lights, all the TVs, and we've been installing an insane rank new lighting system in here. Now we got a new problem. We're gonna get rid of all the gum underneath the countertop. Comment down below what color you think we should make the countertop and the walls, and follow for day two. Let's go.
