The transcript

I think that's the Carpe guy. Don't be suspicious. Excuse me, aren't you the Carpe guy? Yes, I am. How are you doing? I'm good, I'm just gonna be delayed for a pretty long time, but do you wear it? I do wear it. Awesome, can I smell? Go ahead. I think that's soft cashmere. Can I smell yours? I'm just gonna smell mine. Yes, okay. Rosewater? That is rosewater, exactly. I literally have one in my pocket. Oh, so you keep yours on, yours 24-7. Can't be caught lacking. Because that happens to me, sometimes in the morning I literally forget to put on deodorant, and if you have a long day of travel, you're still feeling fresh and confident, I don't have to worry about how I smell around anybody, no matter what I'm wearing. Carpe holds it all together. I don't have to worry about anything. That's how we made it. Where did you get it? At mycarpe.com. There we go. Don't buy it on Amazon. Do not. You will spend a fortune.
