The transcript

Excuse me, sir. If you fill up my cup, I'll fill up your tank. Fill up your cup, you'll fill up my gas tank? Just anything? Yeah, let's go for it. Sure. Thank you. You're so random. I mean, I'm just a random guy. That looks perfect, yeah. Here you are, sir. Thank you, sir. Yes, sir. All right, this is great. Let's get to your car. So what deodorant are you wearing right now? Degree deodorant. How's it holding up today? It's a little bit sweaty. Can I feel it? Do you want to feel it? It's a little damp. Can I smell it? Can I smell it? You want to smell my armpit? It's not terrible, but I do think you're going to smell better. It's so awkward. I think you're going to smell better if you give Carpe a try. Check this out. Carpe has 100 hours of sweat and odor control, and it's a quick-drying lotion that goes on clear. And there's like nothing. Oh, wow, there's like no residue or anything. Here's your gas. I think it's all set here. And I'm going to give you four premium fragrances. You're getting to try Groons for free. Three-pack, a free sweat-absorbing face lotion. And finally, a free mystery gift. Oh. Love this, with free shipping and a 100% money-back guarantee. Awesome, dude. That's for you, my friend. Oh, my gosh. Thank you, dude. Thank you so much. I appreciate you. All right, well, have a great day, my friend. Thank you so much, man. I appreciate you. Congrats on the baby. On to the next gas station.
