Two aunties. One phone call. ZERO productivity.

Miss Sue and Miss Ruth were supposed to be minding their business…
until they stumbled across Mr. Storytime and fell straight down the rabbit hole.

Next thing you know:
📱 phones overheating
👀 eyes bloodshot
😂 laughing way too loud
🍗 chicken burning
🕐 “just one more video” turns into HOURS

This is what happens when grown women discover dating stories that are TOO real.

If you’ve ever said:
– “Just one more video”
– “Why is he like this?”
– “I know a man JUST like that…”

Yeah… this one’s for you.

First Off, In My Opinion is LIVE 24/7 with dating stories, relationship chaos, and commentary you weren’t ready for but needed.

Some women you take on dates.
Some women you try to get to know.
And then there are women who hear one sentence… and throw ALL common sense out the window.

This story started as a simple insurance appointment.
A conversation about The Burial Guide.
Next thing I know? I’m in a situation I did NOT sign up for.
And this is exactly why The Burial Guide exists.
It’s not just about death.
It’s about control, clarity, and protection — because when life gets messy, people start showing you who they really are.

Because around here…
Love might be instant — but consequences are permanent.

⚠️ Fair warning:
I’ve had to change emails, phone numbers, and appointment rules because people started weaponizing insurance calls just to get access to me.
This is my job, people… but also?
This story is WILD.

This New Orleans Storytime is on a DIFFERENT level. Patty came out with a detachable BBL — padding, hip inserts, the full harness — and by the end of the night, the pads were on the club floor AND TSA took her to a private room.
Oh… and we got stuck in line with NBA YoungBoy back before anybody knew his name.

Aight y’all… let me tell you something. I done been through some wild dating situations, but THIS Uber ride? This was straight-up chaos on four wheels. I was on my way to see a new woman, minding my business, trying to keep my energy right… and the minute this dude pulled up, I knew the devil was working overtime.

He loud.
He nosy.

He blasting music like he the official DJ of the end times.
AND he acting like he my long-lost cousin.
Bruh… I knew right then the night wasn’t gon’ be normal.
But the END of this story?
Gon’ have you yelling “IKYFL!” right along with me.

Tap in for:
🔥 The most chaotic Uber ride ever
😂 Ignorant comedy from beginning to end
😳 A plot twist that still got me confused
🤦🏾‍♂️ Grown-man dating going WAY left

If this one had you hollering “Tom… I KNOW you lyin’,” go ahead and:

Aight y’all… buckle up, because THIS one right here? Man listen… this date had me questioning my sanity, my choices, AND my spirit. 🤦🏾‍♂️

In today’s Dating Story Time, I break down the wild night I spent with a woman who started off sweet, charming, and cool… and by the end of the night? I was praying to make it home alive. 😂

We talk attitude, misunderstanding, drama, miscommunication, and how a calm dinner turned into a whole Lifetime movie. Was she really an “angry Black woman”… or was I the one who missed every red flag like a blind referee?

Get ready for:
🔥 High drama
😂 Ignorant comedy
😳 Uncomfortable moments
🍷 A date that went ALL the way left
🧠 And some real talk about dating as grown folks

If you laughed, screamed at your screen, or said “Tom… boy, WHY?” — make sure you:

Big love to everybody who showed me birthday love today 🙏🏾. Every year I choose a nonprofit or cause to support, and this year I’m proud to stand with The Salt & Pepper Gang’s King 4 Day After-School Mentorship Program.

This program is all about uplifting our young kings (ages 12–18) — four days a week, 16 hours a month — giving them mentorship, guidance, and activities that build them up for life.
On this 5th day of September, I’m asking you to join me: if you can, please find it in your heart to donate just $5 to this cause. Together, we can make a real difference.

👉🏾 Donate here: https://bit.ly/3VvzqAV

Thank you again for the love — let’s spread it forward 💯.
