Chapters

I've always been an open book. Like, I'm not a secret keeper of myself. Everybody knows everything. I'll keep your secret until I'm dead. So that's always natural for me. It's literally picking the stories that are funny and resonate with people, stay with people. And you usually find out in a meet and greet line, they'll let you know. I related so hard to when you on your back, you know, like. I'm so sorry. You guys look like very intelligent. We're not. Don't be fooled. Okay, good, good, good. Everybody talks about on their back.
There's a certain amount of courage that that takes though.
Yeah, but I try and do it in a way that's not going to hurt anyone.
Well, you're doing it at the detriment of yourself.
Yes, I'm hurting myself and my mother.
