Tyson: 01.44: So, you want me to get on the scales, like it is okay if I get naked? I just had that glass of water out at reception, so I don’t think this will be accurate. Oh, no that’s too heavy. Wait, hold on. I had a pen in. Are the scales the same as the ones at the gym, you know, those inbody things? Oh, I just had a big lunch. I think that’s what that is. Yeah, it was my cheat day yesterday, so I don’t think this will be right. Oh, that sucks. I thought I was going to lose 20 kilos this week.
