00:02 All right, people, listen up.
00:06 Today is the most important time of the year for us.
00:11 It's tamale season.
00:13 This is what we make over 70% of our yearly revenue.
00:17 This is how we live.
00:19 This is how we feed our families.
00:21 Bring it in.
00:22 This will be the Martinez family
00:26 biggest tamale season ever.

00:31 There's a tooth in my tamale.

00:34 Are you sure it's not yours?
00:36 We had to buy cheaper meat, remember?
00:38 I don't think we're doing anything wrong,
00:39 but I don't think we're doing anything too right either.
00:42 And what is this?
00:43 It's the best tamales in town.
00:45 Dad, come look, hurry.
00:49 Farm to Tamales?
00:52 What does that even mean?
00:54 My name is Roberto, owner and CEO of Farm to Tamale,
00:59 real tamales with real ingredients.
01:01 Gentrification.
01:03 Gentrification.
01:04 They're trying to get the old folks out
01:06 so that they can get new, cool, hip places with money.
01:09 Nobody wants you here, okay, except you.
01:14 I feel like I let everyone down.
01:16 So long as we have each other, we'll be fine.
01:22 And I know that you will come out with some crazy idea
01:26 and you'll end up saving the day.
