Hello, the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Trenjual Matador.
That one, courtesy of Nick Sapper Taranis and an inside joke.
between Jesse Waters
and his wife
teenage mutant
ninja gerbils
Steve Miller
There was a thing I was reading
that people always point out about
Jesse Waters is that he let
the air out of the tires of his wife
to like
so she was she needed him
to like save him
that was like a pickup move
yeah or some kind of
terrible manipulation
Yeah, yeah, that's like the thing you see a serial killer do.
That's like a serial killer set up.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
That has never been done in the context of romance in a film.
It has been done by fucking Buffalo Bill and like, yeah.
Jesus Christ.
Shit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The serial killer in spruce.
Shout out for those who know.
Dark-ass movie.
My name is Jack O'Brien.
That over there is Mr. Miles Gris.
Oh, God, yeah.
Here I am.
Here we are.
Rocky like a hurricane.
Coming to the end of the week.
This is, yeah, Thursday, October 9th.
The trends, the stories.
It looks like a deal to end the genocide in Gaza is possible.
People on both sides seem cautiously optimistic.
I think one side
a little more cautious than the other
probably the one that's heard
this before and then
munitions were flying
right after. I mean
there's definitely a huge response
I mean like the food prices have
apparently come down in Gaza just on this announcement
for the anticipation of aid
but this is like one of those things where
each group has their
own take on what they think this means
or terms like this is everlasting
durable peace
and then you have
Gazins or you have
you know Hamas
where like this I think is the end of
the war and occupation
and meanwhile you know Israel's still
having to approve this
like their government
still has to approve it but
I mean it I think everything I read
feels like this
this is definitely there is some
optimism but again yeah cautious
because you just don't
fucking know how this thing's
I do have to wonder if
how complete
and incredibly unpopular, they have become both abroad and in Israel has anything to do with
their willingness to finally come to the table and stop slaughtering innocent people.
The two big gives, so hostages being returned is obviously a huge one.
And then allowing an international peacekeeping force so that it's not just the Israeli military
doing whatever the fuck they want behind, like, a media blackout.
So obviously, if things unfold in that direction,
that would be undoubtedly an improvement over the current situation.
And, you know, it's just great to see the first, like,
slivers of optimism from people on the ground.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's, like, the one thing, like, well, God.
I mean, the thing about the food prices, I was like,
okay, well, that's definitely a measurable reaction in terms of,
like, the optimism on the ground there.
but it leaves so many question marks of like, you know, statehood, the West Bank.
Right.
It doesn't seem like there's anything.
It seems like it's a lot, like it's more of a just make it stop situation more than a like,
and we have gained ground from before.
Like, you know, the Palestinian people were already living under a brutal apartheid state
and occupation before the genocide began.
So it's tough to see exactly.
where, you know, where they stand now that all of their homes have been demolished.
And, you know, they are saying that they're going to open borders and let aid through.
That's also part of the deal.
Right.
And, you know, reconstruction potentially too.
But it's all very in the beginnings.
But, yeah, I mean, Jesus Trump is acting like, I mean, it, there's just also something very dark about the Nobel announcement happening.
happening right around now.
And maybe his rush
to get this done
because there was a thing
where Trump had this whole thing
where he had a bunch of people
at the White House to talk about
like what is what is Antifa and who are they
where Rubio passed him a note
that said hey we need you to approve
this truth social post so we can make
an announcement on the deal.
Oh yeah. Yeah and it was like a thing
because again they write everything in crayon
in such huge writing
that like any photograph
they pass him a blinking
sign on the table. Sir. Giant blinking sign. Just a huge iPad that's like three words.
He's old school. He likes it in light, bright. That's right. Yeah. The other thing that makes me
less optimistic other than the fact that Israel has come to the table and then used the table
as an improvised explosive device to like kill the people across from them in the past is just
the almost uniforming competence of the Trump administration.
And their willingness to repeatedly spike the football.
Like we've seen football bloopers where the person like spikes the football before they cross the like into the end zone.
Was that Leon Lett famous?
Yeah.
Leon Lett is the most famous example because I think it was in the Super Bowl.
Yeah.
Davey.
Yeah.
They seem to prefer to spike the football at the 50 yard line like right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They're just celebrating.
So we'll see.
cautiously optimistic, hopeful
for all of the
people who are affected that
there is actually progress here
and that they choose. Yeah, and not just
God, some like incremental thing
that just backslides into
terrible shit again.
But yeah, I mean, you know,
the amount of optimism
from even other countries feels
like maybe, or I don't know if that's meant to
sort of be like, all right, Trump, like keep
you keep it going, you know, don't just take
a foot off the gas because you're falling asleep.
literally at the table in other meetings.
He's an easy man to manipulate, so whether or not that's what they're doing.
If it's working, keep doing it.
All right.
There are more details emerging on the justification for the military deployment to Chicago and Portland.
The Trump administration continues to claim that those cities, Chicago and Portland are, like, out of control.
They're weighing war zones.
Yes.
They're weighing invoking the Insurrection Act, which hasn't been invoked.
since the early 90s
LA riots
and they're thinking about
invoking that because the courts aren't willing
to back their bullshit justification
for what they're doing. So
we have a couple of details
emerging that just like paint a clear
picture because they're saying
like we had to step
in. Like the situation
was out of control. One of the
stories in Chicago
that they had was that
there were violent protesters
who rammed ice agents with their car.
And so we're starting to get a little bit more clarity on that.
I'll just read from this article in the mirror.
Officials had initially alleged that Martinez was armed
and rammed her car into federal agents threatening to shoot officers.
However, prosecutors now acknowledge that she did not point or display a weapon.
Martinez's attorney, Christopher Parente, offered to play an agent
body camera video that shows the shooting.
In the footage, he claims an agent turns a federal vehicle in Brighton Park, not Broadville,
into Martinez's vehicle when he taunts her to, quote, do something, bitch.
He then allegedly exits his vehicle and proceeds to shoot her.
Yep, yep.
So.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, this is the thing I remember, like, when the story first came out, like, you got the
official version.
I was like, oh, my God, it's like they had no choice but to do this.
And every single subsequent detail was like,
you guys are covering up an attempted murder, it sounds like.
Yeah.
And you're just seeing like this footage of,
this is completely in keeping with the footage from the streets.
We're seeing of ICE agents, like, you know,
shooting people in the face with like pepper bombs and, you know, like a priest.
Less lethal ammunition.
Yeah, they shot a priest in the head.
Sometimes, man, just standing there.
Sometimes lethal.
Yes.
Occasionally.
People getting shot.
Like after.
just the ICE agents just being like,
fuck you.
Just like get mad and do it,
which I don't know if that's official orders
or if it's just the fact that
they are scrambling a force together
of people who are just like, yeah,
I'll take money to brutalize people, sure.
Did you even see the thing where like the Chicago PD
was also getting in like this, like they were getting
hit with tear gas too, like inadvertently?
They're like, what the fuck?
Yeah, yeah.
It's absolute chaos.
It does not see, again, like it doesn't seem,
like we've talked in the past couple weeks about this idea of like designed incompetence
where you are like engineered incompetence where an authoritarian will put people who are
incompetent in positions of authority under them because they know that they will listen to
whatever the authoritarian wants them to do you know they they know that they're not qualified
for that position and so they will just you know be good soldiers and follow through on the
demands. And I feel like you're kind of seeing that on a broad scale with ice agents where they're
just like, yeah, man, if you're willing to take the money, like, great, just like you, you go buck wild.
You do whatever you want. And so it's just absolute chaos and violence in the streets.
We also have a report from the Wall Street Journal, Rupert Murdoch owned Wall Street Journal,
publishing reports from the police in Portland, noting that the protesters that they were claiming were, like,
on a war path, like, destroying the city, I think Trump was saying, are actually more on like
some Jeb Bush shit, on some, uh, very low energy. Yeah. On September 5th, this is a quote from the
Wall Street Journal. On September 5th, President Trump described ongoing protests in Portland
is unbelievable and the destruction of the city. Later that day, later that day,
so the day he's saying that the protests are unbelievable.
the city's being destroyed.
Later that same day,
a sergeant from the Portland Police Bureau
filed his daily observations
of the demonstrations,
the very demonstrations Trump was referring to.
Unbelievable.
Outside an ice facility.
Quote, saw eight people out front
and couldn't even get one of them
to flip me the bird, he wrote.
Very low energy.
Jesus Christ.
Like he's writing like a critique
of a community theater
performance.
Right, right, right.
Very low energy.
I was heckling the entire time.
Couldn't even get them
to flip me the bird.
First of all,
for a force that's supposed to be
keeping the piece,
weird how the tone of that is
everyone is being cool
and nice to me.
And like the whole tone
of the whole report
is profound disappointment.
Right, right, right.
I couldn't even get them
the fucking.
Not even one.
I laid out rocks for them
to throw in my direction.
Did you leave the pallet of bricks?
Yes.
loose sledge numbers everything so they're trying to pick a fight uh the entire administration is
using the might of the military to try and pick a fight um and it's uh pretty wild like it does
it does seem like the media is particularly not buying the bullshit i mean kind of like
where they'll they'll report it you know what i mean like the thing with the martina's
shooting in chicago like the initial things were just all one-sided well this is what
they said, even though, even if you bothered to look on social media, like, you already saw
these conflicting reports and people on the ground, be like, this is absolutely not what happened.
And don't even, like, if you're going to report it, you need to talk about everything that
happened around. It's been like, that's what they told me. Yeah. But like, yeah, even with these other
podcast, a podcast that was created after we started to try and just get a bit of our esteem called
the Daily from the Eric Times had a report on the show.
Chicago situation yesterday and were, yeah, they laid out just like how complete, how much
bullshit it is, but they didn't, they didn't yet have the body cam footage where it was
where the person said, do something bitch and then shot her five times.
I mean, this is a, yeah, this is, this is sort of just how the, the Trump administration has
basically had the media in lockstep with them to not, you know, it's like if you're one of the
main sort of legacy ones, you
definitely under more scrutiny. And it's
like sort of outlets that are sort of like on
the fringes that are giving you something that is
a little bit more substantive. But those emails
like coming from the Wall Street Journal are also
while there's another one that's from
another person. So this is
from a Portland police officer
responding. I think the same one.
Yeah. Yeah. Nothing much
to note tonight. FPS
that's Federal Protective Service called and reported
that a small group of counter protesters
showed up and instigated a confrontation with
regular protesters one of the regular ones pulled out a baton of some sort and chased a single
counter protester off we didn't receive a call from a victim or anyone involved when i checked out
the night i saw no more than 1520 i paused near macadam to watch and got flipped off that's the
end of the email got flipped off they're gonna they're going to weaponize they're gonna start
shooting people for giving people a finger i mean it's already like a thing we've seen like a first
from an amendment thing where people do that to the cops
just to see if they get pulled over, you know,
all the time and they're like, you know, you can.
I mean, I guess for the moment.
But yeah, they will continue to kind of push the,
like, you know, they got caught using other fake footage again.
Yeah.
Of being like, look what happened.
Like, this is from three years ago or some other place again.
Because, you know, the reality just isn't on their side.
And I think it's also, too, you do hear people,
like even conservatives who live in the areas are like,
it's not like, I know people are out.
but I'm not, I'm not saying I'm at risk and need the feds to come in.
They seem so disappointed, too.
They're like, could even get in and flip me the bird.
Not even like, they're just like having so much fun.
Mm-hmm.
It would make a lesser man question his life choices.
Let's take a quick break and we'll be back.
All I know is what I've been told.
that's a half-truth is a whole lie.
For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County,
Kentucky went unsolved until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward
with a story.
I'm telling you, we know Quincy Kilder, we know.
A story that law enforcement used to convict six people and that got the citizen investigator
on national TV.
Through sheer persistence and nerve, this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran.
My name is Maggie Freeling.
I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer, and I wouldn't be here if the truth were that easy to find.
I did not know her and I did not kill her, or rape or burn or any of that other stuff that y'all said.
They literally made me say that I took a match and struck and threw it on her.
They made me say that I poured gas on her.

Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, host of the On Purpose podcast.
I had the incredible opportunity to sit down with the one, the only, Cardi B.
My marriage, I felt the love dying.
I was crying every day.
I felt in the deepest depression that I had ever had.
How do you think you're misunderstood?
I'm not this evil, mean person that people think that I am.
I'm too compassionate.
I have sympathy for that fuck my man.
Put so much heart and soul into your work.
What's the hardest part for you to take that criticism?
This shit was not given to me.
I worked my ass off for me.
Even when I was a stripper, I'm gonna be the best pole dancer in here.
When was the moment you felt I did it?
I still, to this day, don't feel comfortable.
I fight every day.
to keep this level of success
because people want to take it from you so bad.

I started trying to get pregnant
about four years ago now.
We're getting a little bit older
and it just kind of felt like
the window could be closing.
Bloomberg and IHeart Podcasts present
IVF disrupted,
the kind body story.
A podcast about a company
that promised to revolutionize fertility care.
Introducing Kind Body, a new generation of women's health and fertility care.
Backed by millions in venture capital and private equity, it grew like a tech startup.
While Kind Body did help women start families, it also left behind a stream of disillusioned and angry patients.
You think you're finally like with the right people in the right hands, and then to find out again that you're just not.
Don't be fooled.
fold by what all the bright and shiny listen to IVF disrupted the kind body story starting
september 19 on the iHeart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts
and we're back we're back and an rip to not dolly parton don't worry folks uh to the parents
It's Television and Media Council.
Yeah.
You probably, we've,
throughout the years,
I've probably heard of this group
because they would complain about like anything
that was fun on TV or commercials.
And they're heroes to me.
Yeah.
I mean,
they peaked in their power
when they drove people to complain to the FCC
when Justin Timberlake exposed Janet Jackson's nipple
in the Super Bowl.
That was like the height of their powers.
And they never reached those heights again.
That was like 2004.
They were champions for people like me who saw Janet Jackson's nipple and couldn't
stop jacking off for four months in a row.
And it had to be taken out of school for a little while.
Wow.
Well, at least you got your head on.
What was that?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I never seen it.
This is crazy.
And I pretty much again.
I didn't even know that that's what was under there.
Wow.
And then there was like a jewelry on it.
It wasn't even the whole thing.
It was actually, remember, it was like a whole, there was, it was.
bejeweled. We didn't even get it. It wasn't a little sun thing around. It wasn't dice,
riggedy raw, as they say. Um, it had pretty much that would, like, after that all downhill.
Okay. And they managed to stay relevant sort of like over the years. I remember when that
Netflix show, that weird show cuties came out. They were like, what is this? Like weird
sexualization of children thing. And then it's just been crickets. Uh, I guess just like,
there are a lot of rumors. Apparently the company was ran terribly and the finances were a mess. And also,
there just wasn't an appetite for people to fund a bunch of tight-ass weirdos complaining
about TV.
But don't worry, the founder is actually up to potentially be Trump's ambassador to South
Africa.
Oh, good.
Yeah.
I was worried about him.
Is the NRA still around?
Because I know they filed for bankruptcy a while back.
Are they still out there kicking?
I mean, they're out there.
Like, they're definitely diminished because of their, you know, lack of money.
But they're still, you know, there's still out of your post and shit.
Is it just gun lobbies now?
they're like it might it seems like if the nRA doesn't exist now it's basically because they became
redundant like they there's just like no the gun lobby's got this like they're so sophisticated
we don't need the nora to like do this for us because it's the nora died but like nothing
changed about gun laws nothing like moved back in the in the other direction i wonder if
there's another thing happening here where it's like no we can we have the fucking white house
And all the branches of government, we don't need you anymore to protect us.
Yeah, like, I think that the same model of getting their membership, like, into a frenzy
to, like, slam the phone lines in Congress is a little bit over.
Because I think I'm in a weird way, like, just these sort of values have become de facto
in the country.
So, well done to them.
But also just, which is really ironic, though, about the parents' television and media
council, one of their last posts in September was actually something I think most of us
would agree with.
They were warning people about the threat that AI chat bots posed to children's
well-being.
I was like,
oh, man.
Interesting.
Yeah,
you did it.
Way to sign off.
Broken cloths.
Good night, sweet prince.
All right.
We do want to check in on Dolly Parton's health.
That was like the number one search happening this week.
I just remember being, I just remember seeing a headline it said,
Dolly Parton's sisters like pray for her.
And then like the next day, I was like, actually, never mind.
So she postponed a Vegas residency.
due to unspecified health issues.
Okay.
And she was like very good nature.
She was like, I joked with them.
It must be my time for my 100,000 mile checkup,
although it's not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon.
Oh, Dolly.
That fucked me out, man.
I had no idea that she had had plastic surgery.
I know, like she's beautiful on her own.
She doesn't need plastic surgery.
And then so she's beautiful on her own.
What are you like some weird fucking nerd?
Dolly your beautiful and not, doesn't know that she's,
had plastic surgery since the 80s.
It's her best friend who loves her too.
She doesn't even need it. She's so beautiful.
Then her sister
published a post online
saying that she was
quote up all night praying for
Dolly and asked her fans to pray
for her as well. And that
is wording. Up all night
praying for someone who is in the
hospital does suggest
deathbed.
Can y'all get in on it too?
Right.
Let's get a few more prayers in here, please.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Let's get the prayers going for this one.
So fans naturally freaked out because it definitely felt deathy.
And then the sister came out the next day and was just like basically said, like, she just asked for prayers because she loves prayer.
She's like, oh, no, that's what I'm up all night every night praying.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for any confusion.
That's just how I roll.
Let me just describe me and my man J.C. partying all night.
Let me describe a normal Tuesday night for me. Okay, I, around 7.30 p.m., I finished my microwave dinner, and then turn off all the lights, get on my knees, and I'm praying until sun up. Okay.
Yeah. Meanwhile, Parton's manager said that the situation was, quote, blown out of proportion, and she was just being treated for kidney stones full. Kidney stones. Kidney stones. Painful. Painful.
Oh, yeah. No, I don't.
don't, I don't wish that on anyone. I'm just saying,
certainly not Dolly. But yeah, not a thing. It's like, I mean, you know, my friends
if I had kidney stones and somebody was up all night praying at my bedside, I would be like,
you were doing too much. Yeah. Also, this dormant is hitting, man. I have even no idea
that I'm trying to piss out a razor blade right now. Yeah. It's, I mean, you have to,
when, I think this is the thing you got to understand. They have to be specific on what the
prayers are for. Be like, hey, man, you know, she's doing okay.
She'd love for you guys to say a prayer for her, too.
Yeah.
Great.
That's right.
But if you're like, I was up, I've been up all night praying for my sister.
Because the whole post was, many of you know she hasn't been feeling her best lately.
I truly believe in the power of prayer.
And I have been led to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me.
Like, that is not.
Yeah.
Those aren't show prayer vibes.
Those aren't CPVs.
That's standard Southern shit, though, I will say.
Having lived in Kentucky for three years, I am an expert on the South.
On people asking you for the prayer warriors to.
Yeah.
Prayer warriors step up and also just like a little, a little name drop.
Like the way that, you know, middle school kids will be like,
we had to sleep over this weekend.
I was up all night fucking eating candy or whatever.
Like they'll, they want to let you know they've, how much prayer
they've been doing um god well it does feel like the work it feels a little bit like the reverse
of when donald trump has a health problem and everyone's just like holding on to each other
being like yo holding their breath with anticipation yeah this guy's going for a 70 yard field
goal attempt with two seconds speaking of which he is at walter reed today for his annual checkup
just a standard annual checkup,
which he already did in April.
So it's a little, yeah, yeah.
I mean, I don't know if you.
Double annual checkup.
Did you see him?
Wait, so did he go there just now?
Because I saw, did you see he had like a roundtale like a sycophant roundtable today
where they're all just fucking just, it was a glaze fest.
Oh my God.
Does it glaze donuts?
Yeah, there was just like one where, you know, every single.
It's just like that same thing where they all go around and be like,
oh my God, dude, you're so fucking chill dog.
Like, thank you, thank God for you forever, for everything you do.
And he's just like this.
It sounds like they might be up all night praying for him, you know?
Yeah, yeah.
He's definitely like, he seems low energy.
But again, he's him 79 years old.
Him is 79 years old.
And finally, a survivor contestant was finally bitten by a venomous snake.
I've been waiting for this to happen since the very first episode of Survivor.
I can't believe it took this long.
I'm not happy that it happened.
Is this the 50th season?
Everyone is saying?
Yeah, I mean, I think they, like, lick off a couple seasons per year, right?
It's not 50 years since it started.
No, no, no, but it's two a year, I think.
Yeah, yeah.
So I think that's right.
Because I think it started, yeah, in, like, 2000.
Man.
He was bit by a sea crate, which is a poisonous sea snake, which is always, like, that's the thing
that scares me about the ocean.
It's not sharks.
it's the fact that there are very poisonous snakes in the ocean
and he was just sitting on the beach and it fucking
rolled up on him what do it slither
slither have you seen they look like the fucking sandworms and beetle juice
yeah they're striped like they look like this thing shouldn't be able to sneak up on you
you should be like oh god they're nasty that's the thing that scares
me.
Dude,
I'm swimming.
Look at that.
Yeah, it swims.
It's ascending from the bottom of this.
No, dude, fuck that.
No, thank you.
I mean, I'm not like a, I'm not like, you know, are you like a, I hate snakes?
Are you in Indiana Jones type?
Snakes.
You indecoded, bro?
I fucking love snakes.
I love snakes.
I sound like that's, I'm out of here.
Yeah.
I don't, I don't love them.
I've had to tangle with snakes before.
We had like, we were in the, uh,
We're in the
Missou, in the Missouri
where my wife
went to medical school
and behind our house was a big
pond that was like
you throw a rock in there
and the water starts boiling.
Like it was crazy
how many snakes there were in there.
You could just look down.
It was like coated with snakes at the bottom
and they would come up into our yard
and we had a little puppy,
a fin back then.
And so I had to
I had to tangle with some snakes in a garden hole.
Dang.
Well, you chopped them up?
I think I was a little, I did have to chop one.
Oh, shit.
Unfortunately.
Yeah.
But it's, I think before that, I was much more scared of them.
I really don't love spiders.
Spiders, like just some of the spiders you see out here in L.A. are massive.
Love a spider.
We had a big spider in our.
backyard and I watched it like just I don't know this just like grow and grow and
that were ate a helicopter eventually this clip of the guy getting bit and then carted off
it is a little jarring because like I feel like every I've I'm not a survivor expert I've
seen like maybe five seasons over the years but like I feel like you never see they try not to
break the like pierce the veil that like there are other people there with them yeah yeah
in terms of like production support staff.
So this, this feels like, anyway, he's okay or he's dead?
He's okay.
Sorry, he is fine.
Jake, who is a Canadian correctional officer, Acap.
Oh, USCO, bro?
He got bit on the foot.
I would probably freak out if I got bit on the foot by a poisonous snake.
But it does also have, like, if you can catch the clip, it's worth watching.
because it, like, has the, that guy thinks he just smoked weed energy, but, like, he didn't
because the reptile did not, did not inject any poison into his system, but he's like,
oh, no, oh, God, and they're just like, sit down, man, like, he's like, put the oxygen on me
and, uh, is carried, which exactly how I would act, but also because he's a parole officer,
or a, uh, correctional officer.
He goes, I have a baby coming.
Oh, no.
I mean, I love her.
Exactly how I would act, by the way.
I would act like a wounded Civil War soldier.
Did you imagine?
Talking to my brother.
You find out that like,
he's not even married.
He doesn't have a baby coming.
Fucking drama queen.
I have a baby coming.
My grandma's turning a hundred.
I told her I'd dance with her head her birthday.
Please.
Oh, yeah.
I get it though,
man.
I see the lie.
I see it.
That's great.
All as well,
that is well.
Is he, is he back to, like, slow starving on the show?
I don't know.
It's kind of weird.
Like, they say he didn't, they should have just said, like, the fact that they are going
out of their way to be like, didn't even inject any poison, we still are holding him
off the show, kind of fucked up, uh, makes him look not great, uh, but anyways, I would have
just been like, we don't know, could have.
He seems fine, though.
He's, he, he's a strong boy who recovered well.
Wait, but if he didn't get.
Poison and they're saying quote
He's there they had they started to stabilize
He started to stabilize after receiving fluids
A doctor said it was not safe for him to return to camp
And continue the game
Because he's kind of like a bitch
I got a kid on the way man
He keeps talking about his kid on the way
Hey give this letter to Betty
He's like this is the fuck
These are two sticks and a rock
Please
