Transcript

This is why we're raising our daughter to be a Better rank. No starring Michell Bridges for Life Lessons and presented by American Express. My name is Tier, and a lot of you know me because I'm a double emergency backup goalie. But most of you knew me because I was just a guy in corporate trying to raise this kid the right way. So for our first ever fanatics fest together, I wanted to make it perfect. So I got there super early to make sure the house was tidy. Fire up the grill and make sure the kitchen was ready to host mister Bridges later. Then I made sure all the Amex card member perks were set. Premium reserved seating at the main stage for platinum card members, dedicated check out lines, and of worse, the opportunity for a meet and greet with a champ, which I tried to turn into a lecture about why she should never take redshirting off the table. So better day by the time we arrived and all the crowds had already started to gather, we could just hang out and have fun as a family. And, of course, with all the conversation happening around the worse champions, there were very understandable questions about our attire. But if you're raising your kid a certain way and especially if you have first access to the vintage shop, well, loyalty over everything else. So as I tier to explain to better Bridges.
