Transcript

Best friend is getting married in literally three weeks. She is not having a wedding. She's getting eloped in Vegas, and she just mentioned to me that she low key really wants to wear white Prada heels. Better, obviously, those are not cheap. Even though she's not having a wedding, she's still paying for a lot of other things. She's traveling to Vegas. She has a photographer. She's a creator. She's going on a honeymoon. But you know who's not spending a lot of money? Me. I don't have to pay for a bachelorette party. I don't have to pay for a wedding tux, all that. So I'm gonna take my money, and I'm gonna buy her Prada shoes. Okay. So she's a size seven. They only had a size six and a half, but I think it's gonna be okay because they do run big. I'll see you when they get here. Alright, you guys. We're back in Philly, and the shoes are here. Be scared. You're gonna love. I feel like you knew it. Really? No. Don't cry. Don't cry.
