So I went to walgreens to purchase the card for the wedding and I always use hannah's phone number for the rewards or whatever they ask for it, and so I put it in and then a little ticket prints out and says happy birthday. And the guy goes oh yeah, tell hannah happy birthday. And I'm thinking to myself how do you know I'm not hannah I mean you have a point. Why couldn't my name be Hannah?

Hannah: 2:27

I guess it could be. By the way, what was on that ticket? Was it like a coupon or something?

Rob: 2:31

No, it just said happy birthday Hannah. Oh, hoping for a coupon because I've been getting free stuff, I did leave it in the card and I gave you the card and you opened it, so you must have taken it out thinking it was a coupon and tossed it, or something.

Hannah: 2:43
