Transcript excerpt

Alright, Maurizio. Where should we start? I mean, I guess we just address the elephant in the room. Rumors have been swirling on social media. I mean, people are saying you have issues. Commitment issues to be exact. Commitment issues? What are you talking about? We've been together for twenty seven years. Yes. But then you called it quits. Why is that? Quits? What do you mean quits? We're still very much together. Wait. You're still together with Yahoo Mail. I just wanna get this straight. You came on here to tell me you're committed to your email address. Yahoo mail. Yeah. Wow. You you told me you had tea. I'm giving you the tea. Are you giving me the tea? I'm committed. I'm committed to my email address. It's marisiodaddy70@yahoo.com. Oh my god. What about your ex wife? What about all the women you've been spotted away? I mean, what about them? I don't know what to tell you. I mean, I came to tell you what I came to tell you, and I've said it. Oh, good. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. That's it. I'm done. That's it.
