Transcript

I suffer from chronic rotting and my friend built this app that has been putting me completely on blast. The app is so ridiculous, every day you're racing with your friends to see who takes more steps and it is now become public knowledge how few steps I take in on Sunday I think I took 700 steps throughout the whole day which is horrifying also it's so funny because on the left of the track you can see everyone who's in the rotting club meanwhile I have friends like this and I'm like bro it's only 8:30 AM have you taken 4,000 steps bunnies about to start getting three walks a day because I can't handle being made fun of in the group chat any longer
