Transcript

I'm uh shopping for my girlfriend. I was wondering if you had any baby tees but like with a half sleeve. Half sleeve. How does he even know that? This is his first time shopping for his girlfriend or maybe he just has more ball knowledge than I assume. I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt though. Yeah man, we we actually have a couple here. Two options here with the half sleeves. This kind of like, uh, Yankees shirt. And then this red and white one. Here you go man. Thank you, I appreciate it. Here you go man. Thank you, I appreciate it. And I saw this Victoria's Secret lingerie dress. I like it but it was just kind of new. I was wondering if you had any like, uh, gold label stuff. Gold label stuff. Yeah, man. I have one other. I have one other Victoria's Secret thing. It is gold label. Right now. It's a nice nighttime shirt. Would this work for you? Gold label right here for you man. Perfect. Dude, I saw these jeans too. I like the style of them but they're just a little too loud. I was looking for ones that had more subtle pocket detailing. 99% cotton, 1% spandex. And maybe like an 8-inch flare. It's perfect. Who do you work for? All right, all right. You caught me. Okay. I don't have a girlfriend. She doesn't even exist. The clothes are for me. They're for me. All right, you know ball. The clothes are for me. All right, you know ball.
