The crappiest drawer ever. Like, everybody's got that drawer.
Oh, yeah. Everybody has a drawer.
Don't act like you don't have that drawer. You got that drawer.
Oh, I do. Mine's bad. Yeah.
I got a tray in my kitchen instead. Oh, man. Keys and everything, but it's like a mountain of keys, mints, pocket knives.
Yep.
Yes.
We've got a drawer and a tray.
Oh, drawer and a tray. We have, look, we have four kids. There's six of us. We have like five of those drawers. Yeah. One in every room. I'm a pretty neat person on the surface, but I have at least 12 of those drawers going on.
