Transcript

Okay, so, what is this? Okay, you know the dumpling video? I bought a squishy and I made it something and it melted while I was at school and I'm here, all, oh my god. Me and my best friend tried to like, or my best friend and I tried to scrape it off and it doesn't work. So, your car is a disaster. Oh, I don't know what to do.
