gonna have a heatstroke in NYC

Transcript

So finally my backpack ripped. The zipper does not work. And so today we don't have a backpack. We don't have our ice pack. And I'm sweating my tail off. Because I don't have my ice pack. This is why you don't listen to anybody on the internet. And now I am melting. I am literally melting.
