Transcript excerpt

Tell you something. I am never using Facebook Marketplace again. Okay? Facebook Marketplace can kiss my white flat ass. Okay? Because let me just tell you something. I was feeling funky and fresh this morning. Okay? I posted these fucking egg chairs on Facebook Marketplace for free. You heard that tier. F r e e. They're free. I posted a picture. Right? You can simply see the egg chair. One of the egg chairs in the picture has a cushion. Right? The other one doesn't. That is how I presented them on the Facebook Marketplace. Okay? Free, used, but good. You can clearly see one has a cushion, the other one doesn't. Right? Yay. The amount of messages that I received asking me common sense questions. Hey, ma'am. Where's the other cushion? It ain't there. It's not there, bookie. That's why the picture is posted like that. Okay. Another message was, I'll come get it as long as there's another cushion. I'll come get it. Will you buy the other cushion?
