Transcript

Today we have Fort Lauderdale spring break. This one is geared towards a lot of the younger men out there. It's fucking spring break. I live down here. Fuck all the snowbirds. But without further ado, let's get into it. If your girl is going without you, I want you to look me right in the eyes right now. That's a problem. That is a motherfucking problem. Why is that a problem? Because Fort Lauderdale spring break is known as the Holympics. This is their main event. They're going for the fucking gold medal in the Holympics down here on Fort Lauderdale spring break. Trust me. I've filmed during spring break. I've been into these clubs. I've seen it worst. Mind you, when I film also, I'm sober. So I have a lens that is not distorted into what's going on. And I've seen a time or two where a boyfriend is lost knowledge. Looking like an Egyptian hieroglyphic. Lost technology, lost history, not a concern. If your girl is going to Fort Lauderdale Spring Break, let me just let this serve as a public service announcement. That is not good, fellas. You gotta take a long look in the mirror if this is your girl, if it's just your turn. No rank you for coming to my Bad Talk today. We good a short one today, but it was impactful. And I'll see you at the same time again tomorrow.
