On this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse Q& soon as I'm done with this pre-intro.

0:40.4

So as this episode is being re-released, there's been a lot of controversy surrounding

0:46.6

a professional football player in their commencement speech that happened recently.

0:51.5

And Kansas City Chiefs Kicker, Harrison Butker, stirred controversy off the field this last

0:58.3

weekend when he told a college graduating class that one of the most important titles a woman

2:37.7

you should take the role of homemaker as their duty as a husband's servant,

2:44.3
