The transcript

You wear it? Oh, yeah. All right, well, hold on, hold on. Do you guys actually wear carpe? Yeah! No, she's got it. Can I come aboard? Thank you. Can I smell? If you want to. That's clean sport. It is. He ordered it for himself, and then I stole this one. No wet armpits smell good all day long. My wife's like, there's a carpe guy. You're famous in my books. It's been great. My sweat has been minimal. Mel's great. What is the most popular for women, if I actually order my own? Coconut vanilla. I shouldn't say that, because we're out of stock of it, because it's so popular. You're out of stock of everything right now online. Anybody I find wearing carpe gets $100. You get $100. You get $100. Thank you so much. Well, thank you for saying hello. Great to meet you all. Enjoy the weekend.
