You weren't far off with the Metaverse guess! Ofc he's trying to just take the phrase 😂

David’s head was in the right space! Of course he’s gonna claim a word. But he goes even one layer deeper than Metaverse!!! The verse is implied :exploding_head::exploding_head::exploding_head:

LimarcNov 2, 2021, 2:16 PM

I don't trust him... Those shoes are also too clean
