I'm finding it. 00:08 Well, I don't know. 00:09 I identify as a dragon, so maybe that's why. 00:13 What is-- Tell me about that. 00:14 I was born in '88. 00:16 ST.

That's fine. 01:53 Got you. Got you. 01:54 It's fine. 01:54 I'm just in a negligee-- in a grand robe in a bathroom. 01:57 I don't know what they're talking about. - advertisement spot 2020
