and today we are getting into something that genuinely changed how I operate as a person like this one idea shifted something in me.

a little personal, and I may or may not roast Anna for something she did two years ago.

Oh, we're doing that?

Okay, fine, but I also have a story about Jake that...
好吧，其实我还有一个关于杰克的故事……
