10:26like I really can't drive yet is Billy.
10:29So I'm gonna call Billy.
10:32Hi baby girl, are you okay?
10:34Yeah, I'm okay.
10:35I have a question.
10:38So I was driving, right?

11:35You guys, I feel so bad.
11:37Like out of all the people I told Billy,
11:38I was off a cliff.
11:40Are you kidding me?
11:42Billy said, so glad you're okay.
11:43I'm so, I'm a horrible person.
11:46You know what I'm just realizing, you guys?
11:49Is for the people who didn't answer,
11:50I'm gonna have to deal with the aftermath later.
11:53All I'm praying is that they see this video
11:55and they're like, wow, that was really funny
11:56and they don't hate my guts.
11:58Thank you guys so much for watching.
12:00Make sure you go check out Borderlands in theaters.
12:03And I love you all so much.
12:05And if my number ever gets leaked, don't call me.
