No, you're giving it to us, Brad. Obviously, we're giving it to you. What are you talking about? I was just clarifying. Brad, this is my friend, Angela. What up, Angela? This is B-Rizzy. How you doing, girl? Angela thankfully ignored that. And I want you to know that she is a professional rapper, as in she works at Kohl's doing gift wrapping. Oh, that's so cool. I love gift wraps. The little bunnies on them, they're pretty cool. Angela, gift wrap. Got it. Sure.
