I'm addicted to thinking about the girl addicted to jumping on the trampoline

Transcript

I'm addicted to thinking about the girl addicted to jumping on the trampoline and she goes every single night from 1:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. Never in my life did I think I would ever see a video where the first words uttered in the video is get ready with me to go jump on my trampoline. And I know it's like taking over my entire brain because last night I looked at the clock at 1:00 a.m. and I was like damn she's probably jumping right now, isn't she? She's been addicted for seven years and has done it in all weather. Like that is true dedication. You gotta love a harmless addiction. Like why couldn't I have a harmless addiction? Like why am I addicted to social media when I could have been addicted to jumping rope or pogo sticks? I feel like I'm learning so much about trampolines, like the hardships of having to maintain it, because like for her, it's rain or shine. Makes me realize influencing is alive and well, because why do I want to go out and buy a trampoline right now?
