Well, you know me. I don't like to draw attention to myself, Ed. Yeah, I wore a Canada shirt around. It was amazing.

We appreciate your support. That's my Canadian accent, whatever that was.

Even Princeton douches aren't this bad. You know what I just fucking hate? I'll say to someone, I'll come up like, where did you go to college? And someone goes, I went to college in Boston.
