Hello and welcome to another episode of iWay with Jimmy Digimilk. I hope you're well.

I'm fine. I uh, I danced live on Instagram live. So that's terrifying. I hate being on Instagram

live. I hate doing anything live because I don't trust my brain to not absolutely destroy my life.

Um, but also I hate dancing in public because I'm very ineligant. I'm a bit like a sort of drunk
