Alex Warren, welcome to Color Daddy. Thank you. People were so excited for you to perform at the Grammys. I've never talked about this. It was horrifying. Something happened and everything cut out. And they're like thirty seconds. And I said, I can't hear anything. I can't hear myself. And the guy's like, it's live TV twenty five seconds. And I go, guys, something's wrong. What is your immediate dominant emotion in that moment? Don't cry on live television. And they're like, you have to get to your best. And I'm like, do I have to go out there? I did not wanna look up. I did not wanna talk to anybody. I was like, my career's over. I literally, over and over and over again, said my career is over. Can you describe your experience living in the Hype House? Fun, dramatic, rewarding. I would not be here without it. During Hype House, it was very much like a hierarchy. And especially because I wasn't a good looking fuck boy who made thirst traps, I was at the bottom of the pole. I was a heavily bullied kid. And so as this stuff started happening, you know, ordinary, I would look for the hate comments. I looked at my name on Better, and everyone's calling me these different things. And I was like, so it is true. I'm still this. I heard that maybe you're gonna share something exclusive here on Call Our Daddy. My dad, before he passed away, wrote me a letter. I have yet to ever read it. And so I'm reading it after this. I'm driving down to his grave, and I'm gonna read it to him. He loved writing better, and so I wrote him one. And I wanna read his letter, and then I'm gonna read him I wanna cry. I'm gonna read him mine.
