Transcript

I'm hungover as balls. What would you make to cure me? Okay. First off, obviously, a pizza bagel. And then I feel like keeping... Gonna do a flash brew with whole milk, extra ice, and then a regular Coke. And a chocolate milk because why the fuck no? The more drinks, the better. Let's do it. Good a fat spread, thanks to mother. First, Flash with cream. Yeah. I mean, that's a classic. Flash bad Audrey's go to. It was mine for a moment, and then I changed. My favorite is maple sea salt on tap. Oh, fuck. I obviously need some Coke to wash that down, so get into it. Oh, chills. Chills. Chills. Look. Little mini chocolate milk. Can you believe? This is poof. Now you're a cow. This is kind of like the perfect hangover spread. Cheese.
