my man plays the saxophone, he has a sense of humour, he's the heir to a dentist firm. and he feels like a loser? what's there to lose? just from what I described, he seems like a great person
@@JB-rl8ki your height isn’t a crutch that you can fall back on to validate your victim mentality, oh I was born shorter then others so life sucks, no bro, you do realize that your inner qualities determine how people feel and think about you right? your height or weight doesn’t dictate your level of charisma unless you allow it
My God.. somebody hire the actor. That guy was the most committed to a role I've ever seen and he had like 2 days to prepare. Give this man a month and an Oscar is waiting.
exactly! my nerves would have been SHOT! That dude put on his big boy pants and powered thru somehow and got his part of the job done! overall, i liked this video a lot!
The guy was paid to do it so he probably didn't really care. People ask questions? Just answer them the best you can and if they still don't believe you, oh well, move on with the party.
See for me that would be fun. I’d see it like a game. At first would be awkward though but if you’re an outgoing sales guy like me it’s easy to ge everyone circled around you I would have a blast doing that. Although you’d have to pay me a lot of money to get shirtless while mindlessly strumming guitar after telling everyone I played for maroon 5. Oof
if anything its easier because all the people there are strangers and you will never meet them again so who cares ? you also aren't gona die so nothing bad can happen.
why does that give you hope. Even if you are the biggest loser in high school, of course people are going to remember you when they spent years with your everyday in school. That doesnt mean anything.
The actual dude seems very very confident, doing all the chicks dig me t-shirts through the years etc and playing the saxophone on stage and all that stuff, he comes across as a confident man actually. If he just went down to the gym on a dedicated regime he would put himself into good shape and probably be attractive and he already has the character and charisma
Right? You could see the mom tryina get him to give himself more credit..as dad said the most 'Dad' thing ever!! 'Go for it'🙂 in no way noticing the underlying issues that might've led to this. Lol
@@mariaestherrivas4988 Yup. That just about sums it up. But as I watched the end of it the cynic in me kicked in and I now think it was all scripted by the dude to get his app 'out there'..big marketing campaign. I could be wrong but it did feel a little too 'polished' to be real life🤷♂️
20:58 You can see how relieved she is to know he's still the same old Nervous Fasteau & not some extroverted Model. Must've really grinded her Gears to know that he's doing well & also looks better now. She had to still be better than him. My god this is CRINGE
@@Kedamojo Yea this whole thing was cringy, painfull & un-necessary plus he'll be known as the *validation-seeking Weirdo* who hired models to pose as him. This guy cares too much to want to impress them & them being soo hellbent on proving it wasn't him is what made it soo *Cringey* . If I did attend a Reunion 10yrs from now, and someone didn't look like they did 10yrs ago. I'm not gonna go out of my way to *investigate* & *interrogate* the dude to verify if it's actually him. I'd probably be like - *Oh hey you look great man 🙂* *Good for you dude, I'd prolly make some time & hit the Gym soon too HaHa🙃* And that would probably be it I'd go back to sipping my drink 🥃 Even if I did find him sus or put together that it's not really him. I'm not gonna go out of my way *expose* him or try to band the others into trying to weed him out coz if he's Insecure that's his business, if he wants to hire an Impostor & get a filming crew to secretly film a private event then that's his business. I could give least fμcks if he didn't look like some Guy from High school.
the real steven is a dentist who has a passion and talent for music, a whacky sense of humor, a great relationship with his parents (!) and overall seems like a real genuine guy, I think he's doing well for himself! I wish him the best.
I agree. The dudes got it going on and should be aware that he's pimpin while the dudes that were cool and bullied him are probably struggling and dealing with many internal demons inside. Not to make fun of them either. I think it's pathetic when bullied people grow up and have power trips to get back at the bullies who are now struggling
To me it really is not all that. What i mean is he knew he was 'getting paid' to act as another person to 'people that have no clue of who the real him is'. It is a win win for him that lessing the pressure very well.
@@danielokereke3833 We share similar thoughts regarding this comment. I think its probably easier to play a character like this actor did, than play yourself, especially if you have deep confidence issues. And just by going on what I heard in this video, that girl who he had a crush on years ago, she won't be meeting him for coffee, but I hope I'm wrong. I'm sure Steven will read these comments (I would), hello pal, ignore any negativity from any comment under this video. 👍
You copied my comment, but reworded it better (more simplistic). Props👏 My comment, 1 week ago, 300 likes: "Plot twist: Everyone at the high school reunion was just paid lookalike actors. Stephen coincidently was the only one who got exposed for his lookalike. Bad one on Vice's end."
@@sararadley5702 who tf cares?? High school must’ve been like 10 or 20 years ago for these people. People usually change after the whole pubescent teen high school experience. I’ve met bullies that became nice people, innocent kids that became reckless etc
@@sararadley5702 I’m not saying you’re not responsible for your actions. I’m saying it doesn’t matter if people were or were not respectful to you 20 years ago because everyone changes, including you. If 20 years later you can’t ignore immature adults, that’s kind of on you
Yeah it just made the whole thing more awkward, but it also will help give them something to remember their high school reunion with since they have this documentary
Huge props to the imposter, he was given a really bad brief and went out there and mingled well. The stones he has to do embarrassing stuff is almost admirable. Poor guy haha
Dude, I feel bad for the actor, he really committed himself…but at the same time, I feel really happy for Stephen, because the people that actually mattered knew and remembered him. It’s heartfelt ❤️
Dude imagine being so confident that you can just walk into a highschool reunion and pretend to be a completely different person that other people used to know
@@glitchdigger $100?? Id guess he earned a lot more than that. We don't know how far he came to do this meet, and he shaved his head completely. I'd guess he earned thousands (even though his guitar skills wasn't what was expected) lol
I cried when Stephen realized how much he meant to people. And when his crush outed the actor (felt bad for the actor though. Great work that he stayed in character!)
Could be he tried to get her attention or having a conversation with her a lot of times... so that's why she remembered him better (nobody else recognized that)
@@thelonf356 actually I'm pretty shallow and picky myself, so I like brains and beauty and spent plenty of time with women with all the above including my wife however I feel for my fellow weirdos and ugly peeps out there. The big difference comes down to money and good looks meaning that either one will get you women and it often goes something like this yeah you'll be the 70-year-old with the hot chick but she will be fucking that hot dude behind your back. Yeah and bitches ain't any better they just as shallow and game playing as men and I'm not hating on that it just is what it is. I hope your a chic because anybody that make a comment like that is...
Instead of taking a double, he should notice that he could look like him if he works on himself. Please take this as motivation to do better bro. U deserve this!
ORRRRRR… that people didn’t care for the looks and missed their old friend/classmate regardless of what he looked like, and learn that perhaps the toxic messages of how one should measure success was completely out of alignment with what people really value in friendship and relationships. So if there is motivation to better himself, it should come from a place of being more in line with his values and who he is rather than to strive for a shallow societal ideal that’s preventing people from making meaningful connections. Just a thought.
@@Liliarthan I get ur point. Nevertheless I think he desires this „look“ from his inner self. Maybe it’s based on social influences, maybe it is not. We both don’t know this. But I think we both agree in this point: he should work on himself! If it’s physically or mentally. I apologize for my English in advance (not my first language)😂
It’s just really sad that real Stephan is actually pretty cool but his self esteem is just so low? Like he is still stuck with his high school persona. I hope this made him understand his worth man
@@rvpstudioscanada3991 This. I know someone who is way more handsome than most people but because he was bullied he doesn't really like expressing himself alot.
This video re-affirms two things: 1. Kids are viciously cruel in school to the point Stephen didn't want to initially attend his own school reunion 2. When the vicious kids grow up, they appreciate you for what you are and not what they want you to be
I think viciously cruel goes a bit far here (I hope). There is this video of a parent going to a school board meeting where he reveals that one or two of the people on the school board bullied him, dunked his head in the toilet and beat him up or something and that the school didn't do anything about it, that's viciously cruel imo. Of course he hates to see people like that running his son's school. They didn't apologize or anything. They didn't change. It's somewhere here on TH-cam.
I was bullied all my school and high school years.. I also wouldn't attend a reunion, no way! Though I'm pretty sure I'm more succesfull than the majority of them, I grew up to be an attractive fella and very confident and 100% sure I speak at least 2 more languages than all of them xD. I believe that the guy from the video can become very attractive if he leads a healthy life, he is not ugly at all
@@paulitovz have you noticed some of the popular kids / hot girls from your h.s. are now overweight slobs ... it's kinda funny how things workout like that... I've grown since h.s. into a good looking man in good physical shape compared to what I once was
it's nice to see this. It feels bad that he felt so much pain to want to replace himself with someone else, but i know where he's coming from, as i am on the same path where i don't know if people from my primary school would bother having me around since i was also bullied and left alone. But this is touching, because he thought that noone liked him, but deep down, a big majority liked him since he's a genuine sweet guy, so they wanted him around and even noticed that that one was fake since they missed the parts of him that really were more important than his looks and being cool.
@@helenn6450 Yeah, I thought that at least they'd use a professional hairstylist to do it but no, they just brought the product and made him do it. It looked so bad... I understand that actors should go through these things bcz of their position but I am pretty sure it wasn't in the terms "must allow to shave, cut or change your hair in any way"
@@joseandrada264 This is the vice channel. Wouldn't take anything of it too serious. They are literrly doing what the whole channel is about. Acting and trying to get attention. This is just a joke to be honest.
idk man, I was pulling myself out from all of my friends for about 2 years, after that I tried to reach them out but no one even tried to reach me back, so your statement is not applied to all I guess?
@@MsAkbar14 no, it goes both ways. Friendship is a commitment. Reconnecting with friends takes time. yes, some connect faster than others but, it takes effort.
@@zachary_smith1 It made *PERFECT SENSE* on *WHY* they only showed us his *FIRST* name. He was *WAAAAAAAAAAY TOO* embarrassed to put his name out there.
@@wasaglass Oh yeah, that's definitely the case with at least a third of them but the one's that did care exposed the impostor really. I suspect the "cool kids" pretended to remember him.
No one believed it. I went to Glenelg. My sister is a Dentist who also went to Glenelg. They just tried to make it look like some people bought it. This premise might have worked in the 80s or 90s but hs reunions have been made useless because of social media
I don't understand why he has such low self esteem. He's a dentist, knows how to play a musical instrument and has a handsome face. All he needs to do is hit the gym. And he could be hotter than the actor himself.
Dude this is so sad. The real steven sat in this bus the nearly the entire night while his friends had fun and missed him. Fake steven must have been felt so cringe. Everyone started to turn away and he just said "I am steven. I am 29"
Whatever this is awesome and hilarious not sad. I would lmao at the angle he took on his reunion. Some people don’t even show up. This was a way more alpha move, and the man has a very self deprecating kind of objectivity which is admirable. That actor has balls of steel to be able to do this for him! Lmao Enjoyed the program.
When real steven got out of the van and went to the reunion and said this is a prank, that was so genius! And if those people actually want to talk to him they would make time for him after the reunion, right?
There is a woman on Facebook who extended a friend invitation to me a couple years ago. We have two or three dozen mutual friends from high school. But I can’t for the life of me remember anything about her. I would have believed the lookalike Steve.
this made me so sad. stephen seems like a genuinely amazing person: he's kind, he's a DENTIST, he played the saxophone...but he was insecure and didn't realize his self worth. i really hope he gets over that and realizes how cool of a person he is.
This guy made me truly realize what insecurity is, it’s so visible. The fact he’s basically perfect but genuinely doesn’t recognize it in himself...psychology is amazing
@@wewewewewewewewwewe and it's sad to see so many ppl struggle with that. I'm thankful I don't but it does get draining trying to encourage ppl all the time to see the best in themselves. I just want to see more ppl love themselves ❤️❤️
fr tho, he seems so nice. he is chasing some sort of higher self that he just isn't, and that's completely fine bc he is cool the way he is! he just does not realize :(
Ok but can we just seriously appreciate the actor? Like, Stephen's side is sweet and all, and he's a way better guy than he gives himself credit for, but the actor is also just out there working hard to make his own dream work, even with such a ridiculous job. I wouldn't have been able to stand the cringe~
Nope, his classmates never "liked" or "love" Stephen. He's still a punching bag...and broke Katie can smell the family money bag. Stephen better earn lots of money or he will fade away...like this poor attempt to be cool.
I’m his best friend and watching it with him was like watching ”It’s a Wonderful Life,” but you know Jimmy Stewart’s character personally and just went through the same story yourself. I cried.
The guy has some serious confidence issues that clearly developed post school. He was literally wearing costumes and playing music onstage for his school... I’d argue that take a lot of confidence to do that. He’s not even a bad looking guy either and he seems really nice. It sucks that we as humans like to compare ourselves with each other so much, it really makes it hard to just be proud of yourself and happy with who you are and what you’ve accomplished thus far. Everybody has different paths.
Exactly that's why social media is so toxic. It's human nature to compare ourselves but it's so unhealthy bc we are all so different and have different struggles in life. I like the quote that says comparison is the thief of joy, it's just so true
Damn this blew up, well if any of you are feeling down about where you are in life, just know that you matter and you’ve made it this far. Keep killin’ it and smile more.
It is!! The guy who's tryina get his app out there is the 'presenter' two more of the episodes popped up when this one ended..has to be a scripted thing,right? Colour me confused.
@@brazenlilhussy5975 That's Oobah Butler. He makes content like this which are mostly crazy pranks. The app obviously is fake but the prank is real ig.
Man, I loved this so much. I was wondering in the beginning what he thought he was going to gain from sending in a fake. Great video for people out there.
This is yet another reminder that, as Maya Angelou said, "People forget what you say to them They forget what you do to them, but they never forget how you made them feel." If you're kind, warm and generous, people will love seeing you at a reunion.
@@leae3750 I say this because I’ve experienced people abuse my kindness, I’ve always considered how other people felt before me and that shouldn’t be how things are, YOU come first, forget everyone else. People respect you more if you know your worth vs if you care so much about their opinions that you forget to take care of yourself. That’s why I hate the “treat others how you want to be treated” quote. No one cares, people suck, live your life for you, bottom line.
Dad- “Go for it.” Mom- “But Stephen you’re very affable, you’re very sociable. You’re all of these things, you shouldn’t put yourself down.” Sounds about right lol
"I know Stephen, I will never forget him. That's not him." Jesus that hit me like a ton of bricks. I hope my high school friends could say the same about me someday.
@@Tryhardblackguy Okay that was embarrassing, but it's the script he was given. I meant that he did his very best and shaved his head and everything. I would have sobbed in a corner out of frustration if I was him.
@@leoniemelodie7 lol that shaved head looked horrible. It was weird to watch, this video was randomly recommended to me. Funny enough its where I grew up except I wasn't from this high school and I graduated High School like 5 years ago
Was a lovely social experiment, super cool short documentary serie. Love it. The support of the social environment its SUPER important. Let’s say NO to bulling.
Aren't we gonna mention the balls on this impostor Steven? Imagine going to a highschool reunion where you literally dont know anyone but everyone has the potential to know you and you have to act like you know them. Im not a socially anxious person but i'd definitely be one in this situation
@@forevershampoo how is it fun when you dont know anyone? It's just the awkwardness of being in a new social group + now you gotta pretend to know people
The entire time I was watching this, I was thinking: Stephen (the real Stephen) seems ultra-cool. He's musically gifted, eloquent, and he's freakin Dentist. Oh, and by the way, he's only 29. He still has tonnes of time to travel the world, live where ever he wants, be whoever he wants to be. Dude's got it made in the shade. I wish I lived in the US so I could include him in my group of friends.
Yeah, the real Stephen is probably more successful than the actor who impersonated him since I don't recognize the actor an since he's working on a vice video. Also Stephen seems like a really nice and friendly guy.
I recognized some guy working in a super market about 15 years after high school. I called him by his name and he looked at me like do you know me. I was like we went to high school together. He looked at me and said in a very sad voice " I didn't know people knew me in high school". It hit my heart like a ton of bricks. I told him he was crazy, that everyone knew him which is true. He was very shy but people knew who he was. We talked and he actually was very funny. That was like five years ago. Damn I'm old. 😄
He did find self-acceptance. He went into the reunion and learned that his image in the eyes of his classmates was different than the band geek who had a weggie, who couldn't get a date. He realized that he had friends all along and that people remember him much more than a band geek.
@Dustage Yes, a friend. You can have a friend who likes and supports you, or you can have nobody and be depressed and cynical and bitter that they didn't get your dick wet for you. If you're sad about being "alone" in the latter situation, you've nobody to blame but yourself.
@@ColdSprite even that in and of itself is pathetic. Why do muricans constantly need to show off? Did you become a dentist just because you think it’ll impress other people?.. do you do everything in life just for others validation? ‘Bought a bmw because others will think its cool’ ‘Went to Bali because instagrams look cool there’ ‘Became a dentist to show off to my school peers from 10 years ago’ Lmao, just live your life for YOU. You’ll be happier.
@@Pete9071 Even making it to dentistry school, getting through it, graduating and completing the internship/housemanship to be a practicing dentist, that's already an accomplishment itself. How many actually made it to dentistry school, and how many actually completed that to attain dentistry practice? A very small percentage for sure. And even if it's his family's dentistry practice, Stephen has to attain the required qualifications and license to even take over or work for the family's dentistry practice, and I'd say that's even tougher than being an employee as he likely needs to take care of the marketing, operations and financial side of the business.

Instead of taking a double, he should notice that he could look like him if he works on himself. Please take this as motivation to do better bro. U deserve this!
ORRRRRR… that people didn’t care for the looks and missed their old friend/classmate regardless of what he looked like, and learn that perhaps the toxic messages of how one should measure success was completely out of alignment with what people really value in friendship and relationships. So if there is motivation to better himself, it should come from a place of being more in line with his values and who he is rather than to strive for a shallow societal ideal that’s preventing people from making meaningful connections.
Just a thought.
@@Liliarthan I get ur point. Nevertheless I think he desires this „look“ from his inner self. Maybe it’s based on social influences, maybe it is not. We both don’t know this.

Now they should do the opposite, where Stephen goes to the other guy’s reunion and tries to convince them.

Ay yo fellow indian...
@@rvpstudioscanada3991 This. I know someone who is way more handsome than most people but because he was bullied he doesn't really like expressing himself alot.
Everyone have this problem
This video re-affirms two things:
1. Kids are viciously cruel in school to the point Stephen didn't want to initially attend his own school reunion
2. When the vicious kids grow up, they appreciate you for what you are and not what they want you to be
I think viciously cruel goes a bit far here (I hope).
There is this video of a parent going to a school board meeting where he reveals that one or two of the people on the school board bullied him, dunked his head in the toilet and beat him up or something and that the school didn't do anything about it, that's viciously cruel imo. Of course he hates to see people like that running his son's school. They didn't apologize or anything. They didn't change. It's somewhere here on TH-cam.
@@christopherstein2024 I remember that video. It went viral a few years ago and it was so sad. The bully didn’t seem to care or was apologetic at all.
Yh you can tell he is less self confident than others in the room.
I was bullied all my school and high school years.. I also wouldn't attend a reunion, no way! Though I'm pretty sure I'm more succesfull than the majority of them, I grew up to be an attractive fella and very confident and 100% sure I speak at least 2 more languages than all of them xD. I believe that the guy from the video can become very attractive if he leads a healthy life, he is not ugly at all
@@paulitovz have you noticed some of the popular kids / hot girls from your h.s. are now overweight slobs ... it's kinda funny how things workout like that... I've grown since h.s. into a good looking man in good physical shape compared to what I once was
Why not just give him an earpiece and get the REAL Steven to tell him the answers as they ask the questions? Would’ve worked in my opinion.
Next up on vice!
Exactly bra. Ive been thinking this the whole video. They ruined the whole play.
arent ear pieces super visible?
People would have seen the ear piece, they're bald
Yeah. Hes a musician. If ghey saw the ear piece just say hearing loss from performing
it's nice to see this. It feels bad that he felt so much pain to want to replace himself with someone else, but i know where he's coming from, as i am on the same path where i don't know if people from my primary school would bother having me around since i was also bullied and left alone. But this is touching, because he thought that noone liked him, but deep down, a big majority liked him since he's a genuine sweet guy, so they wanted him around and even noticed that that one was fake since they missed the parts of him that really were more important than his looks and being cool.
The parents definitely thought he was introducing them to his boyfriend

They should have gave him and earpiece to communicate with him.
An earpiece would have given it away too soon, that there’s something fishy going on.
@@silversurfer2081 there are very small earpiece
@@silversurfer2081 You disguise it as a hearing aid. you know, because that last show you played with Maroon 5 really took a toll on your ears.
Or they could have just called him on the phone.
who else thought that same thought while watching the video. I guess I'm the only one.
Was a lovely social experiment, super cool short documentary serie. Love it. The support of the social environment its SUPER important. Let’s say NO to bulling.
Aren't we gonna mention the balls on this impostor Steven? Imagine going to a highschool reunion where you literally dont know anyone but everyone has the potential to know you and you have to act like you know them. Im not a socially anxious person but i'd definitely be one in this situation
I'm Stephen and I'm 29 LOL
Yaa thats frightening
No it would be fun because you can totally shed the skin of whatever mistakes you made its like a social experiment
@@forevershampoo how is it fun when you dont know anyone? It's just the awkwardness of being in a new social group + now you gotta pretend to know people
id be down to do this any day of the week as long as the person im impersonating isnt jail-bound or in some legal woes
The entire time I was watching this, I was thinking: Stephen (the real Stephen) seems ultra-cool. He's musically gifted, eloquent, and he's freakin Dentist. Oh, and by the way, he's only 29. He still has tonnes of time to travel the world, live where ever he wants, be whoever he wants to be. Dude's got it made in the shade.
I wish I lived in the US so I could include him in my group of friends.
Yeah, the real Stephen is probably more successful than the actor who impersonated him since I don't recognize the actor an since he's working on a vice video. Also Stephen seems like a really nice and friendly guy.
OMG SAME!!
True, true
"Chicks still dig me"
I was dying.
@@j.fragoso7451 a lot of actors are working actors, working gig to gig, not everyone makes it to the big leagues.
I recognized some guy working in a super market about 15 years after high school. I called him by his name and he looked at me like do you know me. I was like we went to high school together. He looked at me and said in a very sad voice " I didn't know people knew me in high school". It hit my heart like a ton of bricks. I told him he was crazy, that everyone knew him which is true. He was very shy but people knew who he was. We talked and he actually was very funny. That was like five years ago. Damn I'm old. 😄
I love this. It feels nice when people from high school recognize me in my hometown in the summer. Because during high school, I felt invisible
Your a Very Nice guy for telling him those things, Well Done Sir!!
5 years? try doubling that and Ill still recognize them!! lol!
❤
That's very nice of u, I like this sharing.
It got so awkward that I couldn't watch to the end!
I feel bad for real Stephen. I hope he finds acceptance with himself and begins to build the confidence he needs.
He knows how to play instruments, he is a dentist, he is funny and friendly. If he restyled a bit and lifted some weight he could be one hell of a guy
He did find self-acceptance. He went into the reunion and learned that his image in the eyes of his classmates was different than the band geek who had a weggie, who couldn't get a date. He realized that he had friends all along and that people remember him much more than a band geek.
Sadly thats 80% of men who been brainwashed by feminism they end up like stephen
@@ElMundoDeSam95 the incels have arrived
@@navaryn2938 You know it!
The fact that his old crush actually recognized the real guy after all this time and called out the fake says a lot about her. A true friend
@Dustage Yes, a friend. You can have a friend who likes and supports you, or you can have nobody and be depressed and cynical and bitter that they didn't get your dick wet for you.
If you're sad about being "alone" in the latter situation, you've nobody to blame but yourself.
L
Friend is a massive L
All she did was recognize he was never that hot and theres no way he had a massive glow up
@@mrguy3746facts
What Stephen didn’t realize is that being a dentist is way cooler and more successful than what 90% of these people are doing.
Facts. If I ever have a reunion I can’t wait to show that off. Lol
@@ColdSprite even that in and of itself is pathetic. Why do muricans constantly need to show off? Did you become a dentist just because you think it’ll impress other people?.. do you do everything in life just for others validation?
‘Bought a bmw because others will think its cool’
‘Went to Bali because instagrams look cool there’
‘Became a dentist to show off to my school peers from 10 years ago’
Lmao, just live your life for YOU. You’ll be happier.
Sounds like his dad gave him the family dentistry though, so it’s not really Stephen making it.
@@Pete9071 Even making it to dentistry school, getting through it, graduating and completing the internship/housemanship to be a practicing dentist, that's already an accomplishment itself. How many actually made it to dentistry school, and how many actually completed that to attain dentistry practice? A very small percentage for sure.
And even if it's his family's dentistry practice, Stephen has to attain the required qualifications and license to even take over or work for the family's dentistry practice, and I'd say that's even tougher than being an employee as he likely needs to take care of the marketing, operations and financial side of the business.
@@Pete9071 oh you’re one of those jealous ‘he doesn’t deserve it types’
I’m sure you’re super successful and fun to be around…
2:59 I would’ve LOVED someone like that in my jazz band, boy can rip it
Seeing how hard that girl was trying to vibe when he started playing the guitar shows how badly she wanted him.
Lmao
@@David-pj9gz what's her name
@@fannypack6386 down bad

It was due to too much alcohol
