Coming clean. No, I guess it's out there now. I don't know what to say, guys. I'm disappointed in myself. I had the grape soda. I had the pizza. Yeah. Every everything that's on this is true. And I worst. You have to make your your own judgment. It may be difficult for some of you going forward to accept, better, these are the facts and, I have to live with them. Before you comment, please remember that Instagram is not real life. The victims that were hurt by this tragic situation, it literally makes me sick to my stomach. Terrible. So why did I make a video about it? Well, because that's how social media works. You take relevant topics that people will respond to, the more controversial, the better, And you blend them into your content. And that's how you grow a following. That's how you grow an audience. Some people will take offense, but it's not how I feel about the situation whatsoever. That's why I made this part. Big love. Peace.
