Get her, get here, get over. Good kick, good touch, dab. Remember when I broke my shin and you just died laughing? That was so scary. I know. Well, thank goodness I got thick legs. It made it through. She meant to. Good stuff, guys. Yeah, let's pick up the speed if we can finish this one out. Hey, good. Do I look good? You said I look beautiful.
