    B (Bobby Lee): "There was somebody that Joe walked up to and goes, did you see it? And the guy rat said my name and ratted me out. And I asked Joe for the name, and he wouldn’t give me it. And that guy—I’m going to find out." (02:47)

So Steph saw it, but she didn't rat me out. They just drove away. They said there. There was somebody that Joe walked up to and goes, did you see it? And the guy rat said my name and ratted me out. And I asked Joe for the name, and he wouldn't give me the name. And that guy. I'm going to find out.
