This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

My grandma is plotting to kidnap me for ransom.

I send money to support my family overseas, but apparently not enough.

Granny's trying to get her back.

You know, Granny's been out here living all these years.

She deserves a little come-up.

You know what I mean?

Pension ain't what it used to be. It really ain't though. It really ain't though. Man. You know, Granny is raised in a different time. You know what I mean? A different time where it was okay to hold people hostage. Including your own grandson. Mm-hmm. Very commonplace. You came out of something that came out of me i own you that's right um

fucking like a russian nesting doll of ownership that's right this this this this grand pussy is

the reason you exist the title says at all i don't really know how to process or what there is to process.

As the story of immigrants go, my parents have been in the United States for about four decades.

They spent their time working hard, becoming citizens, and setting up their kids the best that they can.

Even though we never had much, my mom has done her best to help the family

that she left behind. She sent money to different folks for necessities since the American dollar

goes much further there. Whenever she visited, she would bring clothes that we outgrew and helped

with installing hot water, internet, etc. Dude, the mom is like all around. She's, she's the plumber.

She's the Wi-Fi admission.

The bank.

Like, my goodness.

Full service over here.

Fast forward to last year.
