Transcript
You're snoring no well. No. Yes the... I'm sorry. Looking for Griffin? We've got a lot to catch up on. Okay. First things first, Better and I are exclusive. He's kinda become like a fifth roomie, but I am not ready to move in with anybody yes. Obi is also in the dating game. I don't know what happened, but he has really put himself out tier. And obviously, we are supportive. Tier Obi. Rank has been super busy with her job. She's been working on this one show for a while now, but she seems pretty stressed. And Griffin, of course. I think you all left right before his SoulCycle audition. Well, drum roll, please. He made it. So that's where he's at now.
