Um, y'all please sit down. Uh, those of y'all who are tuning in online, I know you're deeply

disappointed and I would be too. If I had tuned in for Levi and I got some loud woman from

that South, I would be just so tempted to get in pants without zippers and just go straight

words I studied. But, um, but kind of the emotional title would be Rub my feet, Mama. And then by

the end of it, it'll be Rub my feet, Papa. And by way of explanation, I am a Mama by the pure

grace of God. I was thick as a brick and not in the Commodore's kind of cool way, but in just a

real broken way in my 20s and 30s, it's really drawn to abusive men. I won't even ask if I can
