Transcript

what stage of the trope is this pls Bro, I just had one of my African aunties request a couple thousand dollars very casually. She was like, hey, did you see my text when you texted me yesterday? She texted me again this morning. Did you see my text? I was like, oh my gosh, I don't even want them to see this and start sending in the WhatsApps. But it's is that not crazy? Is this the whole first generation Nigerian immigrants to like, you know, corporate Wall Street, FinTech success story to community safety net that everyone was talking about? Because while I can understand, you know, in an emergency like I've helped out in emergencies, maybe that's where the familiarity is coming from. But wow.
