They mess with you at night. If you leave the TV on, they stick infomercials on to get in your brain so that you wake up like I gotta buy draperies middle joking, but not joking. Dave would come in the bedroom he'd see me passed out and he'd see the infomercial for crepe erase. Because they kept following me there. They were dogging me with crepe. Erase what is it? Oh, it's stuff that you put on your skin so you don't look old? Or creepy or creped crepey skin or skin? Cream gray gray paper? Oh Crazy Crepe paper? Yeah, yeah, it's not attractive. So people's skin as time goes on gets creepy and this is a great look as cream eraser. So I'm not tuning into crepe erase Yes, I have watched the infomercial God bless everybody who's admitted it but and I'm intrigued with it but like I maybe saw it once or twice. He thinks I'm addicted to watching the infomercial because every time he came into TVO he bought me for like my birthday. I know you don't want to admit it. You since you're watching this infomercial every single night I bought your crepe erase but these people with a nighttime TV Yeah, they get involved with making us rest they're selling us stuff while we're sleeping all the
