Transcript

Question. She's wearing her ex's shirt, her ex's jacket, and I keep telling her that's weird. Okay? But like, okay, cause you get free merch, right? And then he... Oh, shut this down right now. You should never keep none of your ex's stuff, especially when you're in a relationship. You talking about this free clothes and all. No, that's free attachment to the person that you was with before. That tells me that you ain't moved on from the people, cause you get rid of everything. That's, that's, that's... Why bring that into a new relationship? That's not cool though.
