Ryan: Check out my new fav song (it's Britney Spears)
Me: Ew

Will: Does anyone else like how Ryan signs all his emails to the 518 club "Best, -> Ryan"?

Will

Ari, neither your ears nor your speakers are deceiving you, the song sucks.

Will, don't encourage him.

Truly,
Trevor
Me: With all my love,
Smathy
