Oh, that'd be great. That'd be great. Tina, your mom and I want to talk to you about something. You're growing up, right? [ LAUGH ] And you'll always be my little TT. But, over the next few years, your body's gonna start to change. You're gonna become a woman. Do we have to talk about this now? Oh, we don't have to talk about it [ LAUGH ]. We just need a dope beat and some fresh rhymes [ LAUGH ]. Here you go, here's your gear. All right, great. Oh, this is the freshest. Yeah, okay. Oh my gosh. All right, DJ Mom, hit it! [ LAUGH ] Oh we got to switch it to CD, there's a little switch in the back. [ MUSIC ] Yeah. DJ Mom and MC Dad coming at you.
