5:39 I'm like, "Ya [cheering] tu sabes." And so,

5:43 I'm at this beautiful apartment, and I go,

5:45 "Hey Siri, play J Balvin." And so,

5:48 J Balvin starts playing, and I'm just like dancing.

5:51 I'm like about to shower.

5:52 I'm like reggaeton like I'm twerking in the mirror.

5:54 I'm like, "YA TU SABES." OH.

5:58 AND then the song ends.

6:00 And I'm like, "Mm mm mm mm mm." And then I hear,

6:03 "Hola." "Hola." And I'm thinking someone came into the room.

6:07 And so, I'm just like run with my towel, and I'm covering myself.

6:12 And I'm like, "Yes." And they're like, "Hola.

6:14 ¿Quién eres?" And I like look into my phone while my AirPod

6:20 or whatever it's called like a HomePod decided to play J Balvin.

6:51 Like I'm just like freaking out, and I just go to hang up.

6:54 And since then, I swear to god, I see J Balvin,

6:57 I like You've not discussed this with him?

7:00 I don't think he knows it was me because I also randomly had his number

7:04 from someone I I think I had to ask for some something about work.

7:07 But he stayed on the phone for the whole song.

7:09 found it hilarious.

7:10 He's just hearing like, "Ya tu sabes, mi gente latina." He's like,
