Transcript
A woman came in my comment section and said I was three apples tall. Here is the wrapper for my bacon, egg, and cheese as reference. So when I say, sure people have a complex, I'm not being ableist, I'm also short. Okay. So when I say, I would rather pay my therapist than my phone bill, it's because my phone bill is optional and my mental illness is unlimited data. Okay? My complex starts and stops with men. Okay? If you are rude misogynistic and you support the patriarchy, I wanna hit you with my mother's car. Not everybody is as emotionally regulated as me, though. K? Tell me why Shoreti tried to fight eight volleyball players. Eight. She said, 80 y'all want me. I got this. I said, no. The fuck you don't. They're gonna whoop your ass in formation. Have you ever seen a draft stomp at a hyena? Okay. Now imagine eight of those bitches whooping your fucking ass. And those type of showties, crazy as hell. They will get the ass beat, get up, dust themselves off, and be like, oh, I almost had them. No. You didn't. No. You didn't. They ran a full court scrimmage on your ass. They rotate on your ass. Someone got subbed in. I won't say who. Okay? There was a halftime. Do you understand me? And I bad only coach you from the sideline, bow my head, and pray to Good it's their off season, one of them gets winded or someone pulls a hamstring. Do me a favor. Okay? Find a therapist before God calls you home early.
