Transcript

That's a beautiful dress. Oh, thank you. It reminds me of something my daughter would wear. Oh, your daughter? Yes, I have five daughters. Oh, you have five daughters? Old ass. I love that. That place is so good. We should go there next week. Is this seat taken? I guess not. Great. I'm going to keep it warm for my wife of 40 years. Wife of 40 years? Okay, that's great to hear. This is so fun. Having a good time? The best time. The present is a gift. That's always what I tell my 14 granddaughters. 14 granddaughters? Yes. That's good.
