Transcript
My boyfriend was gifted a billboard in Tier Square, which is a crazy sentence you can throw together. First off, starting with the fact that I just said the word boyfriend. Questions, comments about that relationship? Throw them in the comments. Anyway, obviously, he had to go to New York City to go see his own billboard. Rank what kind of girlfriend do I wanna start off as? If I do not fly to New York with him to go see his billboard and film the entire thing for him, obviously. So we landed on Thursday, his billboard, 4AM to 10AM on Friday morning. So we got up nice and early, headed down no Tier Square. Really even before I had a coffee in hand, I was in Times Square. And then boom, my man goes from being, like, five seven to, like, eighteen feet tall. You no, I was, like, yelling on the streets being, like, oh my god. He's on the billboard. Give them the embarrassment they absolutely deserve. Absolutely honored. In fact, lucky that I get to feel like I have a front row seat to their entire journey ahead. Also, Krispy Kreme.
