You're listening to Comedy Central. From New York City, the only city in America. It's the show that invented news. This is the Daily Show. I'm going to stay slow. And it's my first night and I'll be honest with y'all. I'm nervous. I'm going to stay slow.

And it's my first night and I'll be honest with y'all. I'm nervous. That I might crush this too hard, okay? I'm a crush this too hard to make the world incredibly jealous. Now, we've got a great show for you tonight. My guest tonight is the winner of season 15 of RuPaul's drag race. Sasha Kobi is here! But we have a lot to talk about, so let's get into these headlines. Let's kick things off with a big sports comeback story.

And I'm talking about a real comeback. None of this, we were shit for 20 years, but now we're in the playoffs bullshit. You know what, call me when you get a ring. And I'm talking about a real comeback. None of this, we were shit for 20 years, but now we're in the playoffs bullshit. You know what, call me when you get a ring, okay? I'm talking about the woman who came back from a Russian gulag, Brittany Griner. The WMBA star is now saying that after what happened in Russia, she is never playing overseas again.

And I feel you, sis, if that shit happened to me, forget overseas, I wouldn't play basketball anywhere. Not in America, not in my backyard. I wouldn't even watch basketball. I've become the first black woman to watch hockey. I mean, really, think about what she went through. She went to Russia to play basketball and she ended up in jail. Staying out of jail is the reason black people started playing basketball in the first place.

I don't even know if we like it. Bouncing a ball like a child running around back and forth. Oh it's exhausting. I don't even sound like a real job and I'm supposed to watch this? plus the shorts are way to to to to to to to to too too to to to to th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's their their their their their their their their their their their their their their tho. I's. I's thooo. I's thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooes. I's. I'm their their. And I'm supposed to watch this? Plus the shorts are way too long now. I mean, what happened to them nice little Wilke Chamberlain short? I mean, look at the one in the white shorts, you can see his heartbeat. And so I understand where you're coming from, Brittany, and I know people are saying, oh, I'm saying, oh, the one in the white shorts. You can see his heartbeat. And so I understand where you're coming from, Brittany, and I know people are saying, how can she never travel again?

And those people are white. White people always do this. A shark will bite off their whole arm. And it'll be like, I'm going back in the ocean, and the shark wins. Bitch, the shark already won! It is swimming around slapping other sharks with your arm. But let's move on to another compass black woman, Cleopatra and don't tell me she wasn't black. I'm already hearing enough of that from Egypt.

Well the folks in Egypt are accusing Netflix of misrepresenting history in Netflix's new docues series called Queen Cleopatra. Yeah, the country is actually criticizing the decision to cast a black woman to play the title role in series reenactments. Netflix says the casting decision was intended to acknowledge a centuries-long conversation about the rulers race and the multicultural history of Egypt. But officials in Cairo are calling it a blatant historical fallacy, claiming that Cleopatra was fair-skinned and of Greek descent. Oh, okay. Egypt is concerned about historical accuracy.

I didn't hear you complaining when all the mummy movies came out. We got mummies coming back from the dead, chasing Brendan Frazier and y'all don't have a problem. And then a black woman plays Cleopatra and all of a sudden it's like, oh, uh, uh, that didn't happen, that didn't happen. No. The mummy, that was real. And y'all, that was real. And the mummy, that was real. And th a black woman plays Cleopatra and all of a sudden it's like, oh, ah, oh, that didn't happen, that didn't happen, no. The mummy, that was real. This, uh-uh. Like, what are the Egyptians so afraid of? You think Cleopatra is going to turn your history into a black exploitation film?

You think she's going to be cruising down the Nile in a Cadillac yelling, Freeze, Jive Turkeys, this is my pyramid now. So, okay, you can have Cleopatra, but then we get Jesus. I mean, it's only fair. I mean, it's only fair. We all know Jesus was black because he was found guilty in court. And he did nothing wrong. And since we're talking about representation, let's talk about what mermaids really look like.

And I'm not talking about Miss Haley. No, there's a new controversy about a statue that some people say is too damn sexy. I mean, look at that third. You got mermaid to stallion over here. This is the first statue where every time you walk up and play it's body, outie, outy, outy, yad, yad. Now look, if you want to give me a mermaid with some big old titties, that's fine with

me. But where it gets confusing is that ass? Come on, we all know fish don't have an ass. It almost feel like the sculptor figured out too late that he couldn't do legs. He messed him up so bad. It almost feel like the sculptor figured out too late that he couldn't do legs. He messed them up so bad. He to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the he he the to just. He had the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their it. I the the their it. I their it. I their it. I their it's their it's their it's. I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tad. I had. I had. I had. I had. I had tad. Ia. Ia. Ia. Ia. Ia. Ia. Ia. Ia. Ia. Ia. Ia. Ia. Ia. I had. I had. I had tad. I had the sculptor figured out too late that he couldn't do legs. He messed him up so bad he had to just pivot it to a mermaid on the fly. And that's just not any ass.

That mermaid is working with certified cakes. You hear me? I'm talking full bakeries, all right? Even Sir Mixelot is like, you know what? This is too far for me. Anyway, if you want to see more of the young ladies, you can check out her account on only fins. So that mermaid story was for the men out there. But I got a little something for the ladies. Yes, this is what it looks like. So that mermaid story was for the men out there, but I got a little something for the ladies.

Yes, this is what it looks like an iceberg just off the coast of Harbor Grace, Newfoundland with a very particular shape. I've personally never seen anything like it. From the right angle, it appears to replicate certain body parts from a male. It looks like it's like 50 feet tall. By far it's the biggest I've seen. It definitely looks like what people are saying, almost a little bit too graphic. It's a very large male member. There's no mistaking, that's what it looks like. I'm not sure if we can say this on the

air but I'm going to it looks like a penis. She didn't want to say it but she did. Now see that's the real North Pole right there. If this is what it looks like when it's cold oh I don't want to see it when it's warmed up. Just the tip of the iceberg has a whole new meaning. Now, listen, I know what some of y'all are thinking, but if you stretch first, you'll be fine. Now, you see why we can't be making these mermaid statues? I mean, the earth got one look at that mermaid, and look what happened! And finally, we all know social media is a big part of our lives.

Many of us are watching this on social media right now. Thank you. Follow me. But we also know that social media can be very destructive for young people, you know, the youth. But maybe not for long. A bipartisan team of senators are eyeing a social media ban for kids 13 and under. It's called the Protecting Kids on Social Media Act and would set a minimum age to use apps like Instagram, Facebook and Tick-Tock.

Their bill sets age 13 as the legal minimum for social media platforms, requiring companies to conduct more rigorous verification. Teens under 18 would need verified parental consent to sign up for an account. And platforms would be prohibited from using algorithms to target content to minors. Yes, get these kids off social media. And none of this bullshit way they can get their parents permission. That just makes the cyber bullying worse because now when Jessica calls you a bitch you know her mom and her dad signed off on it. That girl, whole family is coming for your ass. Now for more we we're joined by one of my favorite people,

fresh off hosting the White House Correspondence Dinner, Uncle Roy Wood, Jr. thr. Hello, Dussie. Say? Say? Like the colors. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much. Now, you agree with me, Roy. We got to get these kids off that social media. Well, you're crazy. Social media needs to be mandatory for kids. Keep them distracted on their phones. I want these kids out on the street talking to me, making me feel old. We try to walk past these kids and then they start ing on your shoes, but I don't know the street name of these shoes. Yo, oh gee, I see you cop the scooby-due, green goblins.

What is your ass talking about? Did you just ask me for drugs? Just say nice sneakers. You're about need to get the hell away from me, I ain't one of them tide pods. They still eat the tide pods. I mean listen I heard they're delicious listen. Roy you have a child. Do you want him on social media? You're damn straight I want him on social media? I got to think about his future. After AI and chat GPT take over being an influence is going to be the only job left. In fact in fact when I catch my kid doing geometry homework I go well point if you don't go get in their they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they get they get they get they get they get they get they they they they they they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they they they they they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're th th the the the the the the the the theey they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they going to be the only job left. In fact, when I catch my kid doing geometry

homework, I go, well, boy, if you don't go get in front of that computer. Set up a ring light and start selling that flat tum of teeth. We got to get these views up, boy. And you know what else, what else do you say? Like, instead of banning kids from social media, the people you really got to ban. their thap, thap, thap, thap, thap, than, than, than, th. thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin' tho, tho, thin' thin' their, their their their, their their their, their, tho, thin', thin', tho, thin' thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. th, thin' th, thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' their, their, thin' their, their, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, their who you got a ban. How am I supposed to be faithful when I ain't seen a woman's face in six months? I shouldn't be able to recognize a woman by a booty crack, but I can. See, this is what I'm talking about. We're all too immature for social media. Not just the kids, everyone should be banned.

Do you know how productive I'd be if I didn't have to have to have th w billionaire telling white women what to read. Oh, the power, Roy, the power! Do you understand if I could just get these white women to read these books, I can have so much, Roy, Roy, hi, we're working. What are you doing? Did you know Mermaids got ass now? Oh my God, look at the statue. Look at the statue. I'm going to support her career. I'm going to follow her real quick. You need to follow these mermaids. Roywood Jr. everybody.

Look at it. We're going to take a break. But when we come back, I go surfing for real. You don't want to miss it. Welcome back to the Daily Show. There's a lot of stereotypes about black people and what we do and don't do. But tonight I break down one of those stereotypes in another episode of, we don't do. There's a lot of stereotypes about black people. And what we do, and don't do.

But tonight I break down one of those stereotypes and another episode of, we don't do that? I'm skeptical, but apparently black folks have been surfing for at least 50 years. That's got to count for something. So I'm getting wet-suited up and letting surfing for at least 50 years. That's got to count for something. So I'm getting wet-suited up and letting Lou Harris teach me how to surf. In Queens. Now, this is a surfboard here, nine foot. Now, it's back dirty.

This is the wax. This is going to help any of this. We're going to teach you the pop-up. The pop-up is a push-up and then you jump to your feet. Push-up? Push-up, I know. But I do push-ups with my knees. And you could do with the knees. Like they totally... Show her what a perfect pop up. Okay, did you see at one point all of her body was in the air?

Yes. You show me. I need somebody who remembers the Clinton administration to show me how to do this? I'm just with this. I'm just with thin. Okay, so maybe he really does know what he's doing. But I can't understand why. Who would do this all perfect? fire in Coney Island and that was starting by at the time he was 13 years old name was Marcel Dockery and he's lit a mattress on fire in the basement and coincidentally the police officer who died from that fire he was from rock

away like we had a funeral here and when the police asked the kid why he did he said he was bored. I ain't mean for the whole fire to come just for a second just because I was bored, like, just wanting something to do instead of sitting in the hallway. So that like that really tripped me out. And I was thinking, if this kid had an activity, then maybe this officer would be alive. So I reached out to the BSA in California and told them what the tragedy. And that's how it started, just like that. What made you pick surfing as the thing thi-a-a-a-a-a-a- do it here. Not just black kids, this is open to white kid, Asian, Muslim, gay, straight, I don't care who you are. If your parents can't afford surf lessons, I'll teach you for free. Aw, look at Lou running his own United Nations the surfing.

All right. This knee is going to come first. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Now I'll bring that. I. I. I. I. I. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. th. th. th. thiiiii-a. thi-a. thi-a-a-a-a-a-a-s. th-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a. thian. thian. thian. thian. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi-s. thi-s. thi-s. thi-s. thi-s is thi-s is thi-s is tha-s is tha-s is tha-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-s is tha-s is tha-s is tha-two, three. Push up, this knee's gonna come first. Here, yeah, yeah, exactly. Now bring that left, yeah, right there. And I don't care how your feet look. I'm gonna drown. But no, no, no, no, it's no time. It's like two foot of water right there. We're good.

We're good. I got you. This is my backyard. I got you. I got you. I got to do. I'll take a bullet. You need to take the ocean. Like most black people in the 70s. Lou's parents didn't know how to swim. But they made sure that he and his swim brother could. And got the boy swimming lessons at an early age. Didn't they see the movie George? We have this segment on the show called called that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that. th. th. th. th. L. L. L. L. L. L. L. L. L. L. L. L. th. L. L, th. L, th. L, th. L-I th. thi. I th. I thi. I to to to to to to to to to to to me me me me me me me. I to to to to me. I I to to to me. I I I I to to me. I I I I I to be. I I I to be. I I to be. I. I. I. I to be. I. I to be. I to be. I the the the the the the the the the tod. I was. I was. I was. I was today. I'm today. I'm today. I'm today. today today today today to to toe. I'm to to to to to to to movie, George? We have this segment on the show called We Don't Do That, because there's a lot of stuff. We don't do. But I think we don't know sometimes why we don't do it. A lot of black people, since, you know, the segregation of pools didn't have the

same opportunity as white kids. People think black people are scared of water. We're not scared of water. We're not scared of water. We're only scared of water because we didn't have the same opportunity. Exactly. When those pools were open for white people, we weren't allowed. That's one thing about the white people that live here. They never bothered me, never said anything derogatory nasty about me surfing. It's my black brothers and sisters. They're the ones that, you know, black people don't surfed you do with that surfboard. Listen, I was a Maroon V fan and we had to figure out how to listen to that. And black people accepted them. This man really believes that I can do this.

And I'm pretty sure I'm gonna prove him wrong. Have you seen the ocean? Do you see these waves? When I'm gonna get in the water, the goal is to a man who owns a yacht? Maybe. All right, let's do this. I'm gonna have the kids go out first, okay? But they know what they're doing. Don't say because they kids, I'm supposed to feel better. Turns out there's money out here for the young black surfers.

Lou has sponsors like fans, Red Bull and the surfers. I need to get. Go find a surf shop here. They can't drink it, right? No, no, Red Bull bought us $8,000 worth of surfboards for the kids. Okay, I thought you had $8,000 with Red Bull. And I was like, that sounds like a great night. And college? Yes, but a 12-year-old with a treatment, oh, that's Don't sue me Red Bull. I'm just saying I don't think we can get... You can't give energy drinks to children.

Okay, moment of truth. If I don't make it, tell my mama I love her. Okay, I did it, we did it! We did it! We did it! We did it! I did it! Okay, I did it, shoot over, we're done yet. I learned how to start. All right, let's go. Get cooking a weat suit, did you know that?

Listen, you never know, like, when you're out here on your own, just working, like, doing just things, just by yourself, you know, you never know what you can achieve with just a few lessons, absolutely no help at all. Sorry, can you back up with a little bit? Perfect, thank you. So like when no one ever helps you, like when you've done everything on your own and just really worked hard, like, wow. When we come back, Sasha Colby will be joining me on the show.

I literally saw somebody go, And I think you can hear Anita go, should we all go home now? Because you walked in the room and it's like, do we, should we all go home now? Should we all go home now?

Because you walked in the room and it's like, should we even try? And I'm glad the delusion was hitting hard and they did try. I mean, I want him good next to me, you know, I want to beat the best. I mean, I could respect that because Anita was not playing when it came to the lip see just freewheeling. No ma'am.

Love you Christians. Love you too. Love yourselves. that thou? that. Um, love you Christians. Love you too. Love yourselves. Anyway, um, that's the realty. How are you gonna love anybody else? I mean, read the word.

That's not the point. Anytangents, tangents. Tangents. Tangents. What was the question? How is it? We both got distracted. Because you were Tangents Tangentials. What was the question? Um, how is... We both got distracted. Because you were so pretty and this jacket is shiny and I like shiny things. Um, I was asking you how, how has your Hawaiian heritage shaped you as a trans woman?

Well, like I was saying before, I'm interrupted myself. In any indigenous culture, there was space for trans and non-binary folk, and they were integral parts of our society in every indigenous culture you can find. So my transness is in my blood. It's in my DNA. It's what has been going on since before any man-made religion, any of these standards that we hold ourselves to, any male woman, all of that. That's just a way to oppress, you know,

a way to keep in line, a way to segregate everybody. And that's why I feel it's so important to be really into your culture, to figure out your culture, because we are always programmed to believe what our parents need us to believe instead of what is actually going through our veins in our DNA and our blood. Right. And then with the society at large wants you to believe because if we go by mainstream society then, oh, none of us would be able to dance? No ma'am. I definitely would have been able to show my tits on national television. And we all needed that. I mean, we all needed that.

And real tea, like, I was like, everyone saw like a great competition with Sasha Colby, but all my friends were like, they didn't even see Sasha Colby yet, naked, drunk, at brunch, you know, rolling around half naked. I think you showed us so much. I think only doctors would to see any more of you. Not a cough. I mean, listen, if I close my eyes and they were like, okay, Sasha Colby is missing. I'm like, all right, don't you worry. It might have to identify by our kitties, but I got you. Or, you know, identified by booty. And listen, cuss. That thing is thiger. Mermaid. Mermaid. Mermaid. Mermaid. A. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, listen, listen, listen, if I, if I th. I th. I th. I, if, if, if, if, if I, if, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I. I, I. I, I, I. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th.

And as someone who thang also be thang and listen. Thang and recognize. Thang and. Yes! Yes! Now, as women of color, especially, we always have to worry about representation. Right. And I know you want to be an example of a happy, trans person in the media.

Why is that important to you? Well, all that media has been concerned with a lot of the time is telling the transition story, telling the trauma, telling the effect that it did on the family, but not showing why we go through all that and how happy like being being so adamant about making yourself feel comfortable in your own skin that's the whole reason why we do the transition it isn't to like hurt or harm or traumatize our families or anyone else it is to be our true happy selves and we are missing that a lot

that that was it I wanted to get like misconstrued that I want to be a representation of only I'm a happy trans person. Right. There are so many happy, well-adjusted, loving trans people, but you only see us getting murdered and and... Yes. So to be able to normalize the fact that you probably have come into contact with three or four trans people every day and not even.. And to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. th. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. I I I I I I I I. I I I. I. I. I their. I I their. I their. I their their their their their their their their th. I th. I tr. I true. I true. I'm true. And true. And true. And true. And true. And true. And true. And, I'm th. And th. And the. I'm into contact with three or four trans people every day and not even know it. Because we are everywhere and we're not going anywhere. Well I can definitely understand that because being you know a woman of color and a plus-size woman of color in this industry you spend a lot of time it's like oh well your plus size you must be unhappy and it's like no I'm not. Also I'm very pretty. No, The skinny girls are the skin. I'm the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th the th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. th. Right th. Right th. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. We're th. We're th. We're th. We're th. We're th. We're th. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. I'm th. I the th. I th. I the the th. We're th. We're the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I's the the the the th. I's the th. I'm the the. I'm the. I'm the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the the the. the the. spend a lot of time. It's like, oh, well, your plus size, you must be unhappy. And it's like, no, I'm not. Also, I'm very pretty.

No, the skinny girls are unhappy because. They're hungry. The skinny girls are hungry, but they're very hungry, but. Girl, I was at a diner at 3 a.m. And I saw fries, girl. You were in a track suit. You're in yoga pants. It's working.

Eat the fries. Drunk in a salad, you fit, and be sick. Now, I have to ask this question. Because we know we have to ask this question. Now, you won drag race at a time. What drag is being politicized for absolutely no reason. What do you think they're really trying to do? Well, I mean the legislation, I don't want to be like political and say like this, I mean, you know, the conservatives, the government. Because you know they out here acting a donkey right yeah it's always about these

white men kind of try to control people's bodies right so they're there were they're we're doing you know controlling women's reproductive rights controlling our medicine like a basic human right of giving trans people and like even like anyone good health care right so it's always about controlling and I always notice that these guys they's they they they they they they they they they they they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're not they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're like they're like they're like they they they they they they they're like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like. they're they're they're they're not their. th. their. th. thi. thi. they're not their. they're not they're. they're. they're. they're.'s always about controlling and I always notice that these guys, they're not really killing a lot of like trans men. There's a lot of trans women being murdered. That's because these men objectify trans women as much as they objectify cis women. Yes.

So once they objectify you and you're living your truth, they get so mad because they're one jealous that they're not living their truth. Yes. And two because it makes some question why do I like this? Why do you have to question? Why do you have to question that? Why does that even have to be a thing, you know? So for all of them just I think they just want to be in drag. Or they probably went in drag, and then they look awful. Santos. Listen, you hop in drag, you find out you're a booger and you...

Bitter. Bitter. Honey. And you're like, you know what? This free trust wig might not be for me. She couldn't find a mother. They said, no, lost cause. Now, call CPS. Listen, call CPS. Oh my goodness, nothing like calling CPS on a 45-year-old man.

Like not on his children, sir, on you. You need adult supervision. This is true. So with all these anti-drag bills as they're starting to pass places, has that affecting where you can work? Yes, I'm a little nervous to go to Tennessee and I do have a booking there in like a month or so. You can be committing crime! I mean technically walking, like standing foot down there, I'm breaking the law for some reason, you know, it's insane. Even when you're in girl drag? Well, like, so are I've I'm not too sure exactly but I've heard from my queen friends like aura she lives in Tennessee like you can get in drag at the venue but to be out like walking from your car to the

venue if you're in drag you're breaking the law so someone like me who doesn't it this is what it's made for I can't get out of drag I'm I'm trans woman. Because you're a woman. So I'm going to be breaking the law, and that's what they want. Oh, because they're trying to say- It's a roundabout way to get trans people controlled. So they're trying to say you're in drag when you're really just wearing a woman. The legislation, I believe, the wording is, the wording is if you're thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, if you're, if you're, if you're, if you're, if you're, if you're, if you're, if you're, if you're, if you're, thin, thi, thi, thrown, that's how they can round about say that drag is illegal, and then the real thing is being trans is illegal. Oh, that I didn't.

I didn't know that? Girl, they live in New York, they think they're free. I know, we live in a good left bubble. Listen, I've had a lot of people try to con me and tell me that New York was a racist. Go outside. Anyway, like y'all know where all the Dominicans are? Okay, that's not racist anyway. If you know where every part of a group is, it's racist. I shouldn't be able to roll, oh, I go across that street, that's what they at, but you know what, that's not what we'll be talking about. We're talking about Sasha Kobe right now. This is a this is a segment of tangents. I mean listen I am tangential I'm a tangerine so I'm tangent.

Oh they messed around the topic vocabulary now all right now that we have talked about all of the the political thing yes we have talked about the experiences but what I do have to have is one final question for you mother If I was into family, what would my drag name be? Oh, I mean Dulce is already a sickening drag name. I hear you! And Ducey Colby sounds really nice. Doose I'm a Kobe? I just gave birth again. I just gave birth again. Somebody clean up this water is broken. Do you say Kobe sounds really nice. Do you say, I'm a Kobe. I just gave birth again. Ah!

Somebody clean up this water just broke, honey. Listen, I'm the water, all the water that's broke. Listen, somebody get this placenta wrapped up. I'm ready! Um, me. Oh, Kobe, baby. That's Kofi, everybody! Groupos, Grace is now streaming on Paramount Plus.
