00:00I do, I do think there is some value to Black Friday, but I'm not, I'm not, I'm not standing
00:09on top of that.
00:10People are taking too far.
00:11They're taking way too far.
00:12Yeah.
00:13Why would I say online?
00:14Why would I say online?
00:15To give you my money, too?
00:16And to show up on Cyber Monday and get the same deal?
00:18Like you're bugging.
00:19You're bugging.
00:20Yeah.
00:21My sister goes to Black Friday purely for the fights.
00:23Religiously.
00:24Nah, for the fights.
00:25For the fights?
00:26She's looking for beef, but if it comes, it'll be dealt with.
00:29Yeah.
00:30She suits up.
00:31She's into it.
00:32She loves the excitement.
00:34You said she suits up.
00:35It's not really, it's not really about what you can get.
00:37It's just a threat.
00:38Who can get it?
00:39It's the energy.
00:40It's who can get it.
00:41Whoever can get it.
00:42It could happen.
00:43So she's, she's just watching.
00:44She's not involved in the fight.
00:45It'll clarify.
00:46No, she suit it up.
00:47If you bring it to her, she's going to deliver.
00:49Oh, she, oh, she got some energy she wants to.
00:50She's not, I mean, she's not going purely to fight, but my thing is she's looking for whatever
00:54deal.
00:55There's never like a focus Black Friday.
00:57Friday lives for you.
00:58She's got to get, it's like, whatever the deal is, that's what I'm going for.
01:01Whatever's the biggest scrum.
01:03I want that.
01:04And she's going in.
01:05She got to throw her elbow.
01:06It'll work out.
01:07She got to figure out a way to get paid for that.
01:09Cause that's a show waiting to happen.
01:11Wow.

01:49Do you take a nap too?
01:50Of course.
01:51Before the drink?
01:52No, before the drink.
01:53So you can fuel up.
01:54So you can really drink.

02:46During Thanksgiving, you ever see how it's like a desert town in New York?
02:49Yes.
02:50Doesn't New York change over Thanksgiving?
02:51Yeah, it does.
02:52Ain't nobody here?

02:59Parade.
03:00Everybody disappears.
03:01And then you don't come back until it's time to go to the club.
03:02I've had some time to go to the club.
03:03Because if you don't know, Thanksgiving is one of the best nights.
03:04It picks it off to go to the club.
03:05Oh, really?
03:06Really?
03:07The club is lit?
03:08Oh, the club is super lit.
03:09I didn't know.
03:10The club is full and they just in it, like, trying to get that turkey out.
03:14It is the best time to go out.
03:16It is.
03:17I didn't know that.
03:18I'm telling you.
03:19Thanksgiving night.
03:20And then also the thing about, especially in New York and growing up in New York, it's
03:21the best time because all of your family members that are not from New York are coming
03:25to New York.
03:26Oh, super lit.
03:27And then it's like a group of going to the club and then it's like an event.
03:30Yep.
