Transcript

Ain't no way I'm paying $70 for FOUR oxtails and white rice!? I know you fucking lying. I know who the fuck is paying $70 for four oxtails and some rice. When I seen he was coming to the city, I said, 'Oh shit, I gotta go fuck with him.' The reds and shit like that. So I said, 'Alright, let me go, he said you could do pre-orders.' So I went to the pre-orders, $70. Then I said, let me read the description. Maybe maybe you get some shit with it. Maybe you get some shit with it. Four oxtails and a bed of rice. That's it? That's all? You couldn't throw in another side, like some mac and cheese, some goddamn... I'm not I get people gonna say, well, if you don't want it, just don't get it. But come on. You pay for the experience. Fuck that experience. I ain't gonna take the goddamn food at a reasonable price. You know what I'm saying? I ain't gonna put it on after pay. Can I put it on Klarna? It just it just doesn't cost that much. You get what I'm saying? You get what I'm saying? Four oxtails. I might as well go to the Jamaican spot down the street. I get the damn oxtails, they ain't gonna be the damn reds and shit like that. But but it ain't gonna be $70 damn dollars. You know what I'm saying? $70 damn dollars.
