And Alice got a big shout out right there. Yeah, I know. She's I think she's I think she's still in Kansas. I'm not sure. She I think she's married now, actually. So I thought I thought it would be Sorry, Alice. Um, I thought it would be funny and romantic to try to use this pickup line. I think I said is your dad in jail? Uh and she said no. She's like, what are you talking about? I was like, cuz he stole all the stars and put them in your eyes.

Young Hollywood

Stay away, Alice. Oh, for laughing. And to this day, I truly I truly see this is the thing is like she bought it hook, line, and sinker and was like, oh, you're so romantic. But I think I would too, honestly. When you're 14 like It's at least you put some thought into it. Because also

Colton Haynes

And I think I just stole it from someone else. I don't remember. I think it's just all in the delivery. And who it's coming from. Yeah. I might have moved my eyebrows like a bit and kind of done like the sexy grays.
