      We also need more charging stations for electric vehicles because that's a big issue with people investing in EV's, which sucks because I know someone with a Tesla and that thing is seriously like from the future and every other vehicle is just trying to play catch-up to their technology.

    I just hate that they made Margie a nice girl later. She was so clearly NOT a friend.

      Probably because he's a pop punk singer?

    14:59 it's an inevitability that if anyone is holding a butterfly hair grip, they will, inexplicably, attach it to a random ace on their face and it will hurt every time.
