If we let JF finish out the apparently long list of rappers he doesn’t like, we might be on to something here 🤔

Glad someone finally asked about the Asian wife allegations (saying this as an Asian wife myself)

I saw a show *on 4/20* at Hollywood Bowl. Everyone was honking joints in the stands. A couple, the dad of which had an 8 month old baby with big head phones on its head, sat in the row in front of us. I watched folks blow weed rips around that baby for like a half hour before the couple got up and went to stand in and aisle. It was insane. Someone tried to pass the joint to the guy with the baby and the guy said no thanks. I smoked in the smoking section like a fucking adult.

Chef Kevin being in the ‘Burgh makes me want to move back home and become a podcaster. That’s my mid-life crisis. I want to know what coffee shop he wants to take JF to - Grim Wizard, by chance?
