Oh, you are, are you?

Yeah, six pounds of point cut.

You know, another chief,
he sent me a video

Oh, yeah?

Black pepper, chili powder, cumin.

Emma? Seems all right so far.

I mean, I guess she missed

- Just curious.

Well, I might not be the most

I'm kind of working through
some personal stuff and, um,

I haven't made much
