If he wants to play Emo Kidz Bop Lana Del Rey meets a little bit of Cowboy Carter Beyoncé—fine, I guess. But I better see that unreleased Lana track on that tracklist, or we riot. If you're gonna serve us the same tired aesthetic on a paper plate, at least give us one damn gourmet snack.

I feel like were either going to get Lana on it, since she went all country tradwife core now or were not. Even if we do get it, I feel like it's not going to be the unreleased but a whole different song. I'm pretty sure lonely road is going to be on this album.

Idk if some of u are feeling like this but I really don't care for this album like I feel like I have to mentally prepare myself to go into listening to it with little to no expectations. I'm going to try to get my younger sister to listen to it with me, just so I don't have to go through it alone but also for another outside opinion.

I believe he said this was going to be like a pop-punk album with country? Idk.

Like I'm trying to hold back my opinions or true thoughts of what I feel like this album is going to be. But I know it's best to just wait till it's released b4 making any judgements. Cuz who knows it could be his best work.? eh.

Sometimes, if I'm honest. I miss the hotel diablo era. :(

Blade Baker would’ve sounded great. Even Blake Baker has a nice ring to it. But of course, this is a future nepo baby—we couldn’t expect a simple name. It had to be long, overly complicated, and start with the celeb mother’s surname. You’d think the whole PR relationship would’ve been enough, but apparently not. Now they’re not only keeping up the performance, they’re setting this child up as a future brand. Imagine being brought into the world just to secure the bag, uphold a PR-driven household, and be pushed into an entertainment career you’ll have no real choice but to pursue. I feel like it’s going to end up like Will Smith’s kids—his firstborn with his former partner is a genuine, well-grounded young man, and it even seems like Will gets along with him more. But the ones he had with Jada Pinkett? A whole mess.

I don't think her name is the worst celeb baby name I've heard but I don't know if I like it (not that my opinion on it matters anyways). I just feel like it's four words bunched together: Saga (makes me think of twilight saga), Blade, Fox, Baker.

Also, Idk about y'all but I just knew the baby was going to get some crazy name that was either like rock/alternative aesthetic or some ethereal, spiritual name. I mean, Saga's mom is Megan, what did we expect. Also considering how Megan named her sons, she always gave that she preferred unique name combos.

I also kind of knew or felt they were going to give this baby girl a real CELEB baby name, just because of who her parents are and how they love the headlines. Even before she was born, M and C always talked about her as this celestial goddess/princess moon spirit. They knew that they would have to give her a name that would hold up to that narrative.

Out of all her siblings, she is the child that is going to unfortunately, grow up in the spotlight or at least the headlines, in interviews, and Colson's music. At least, more so than her siblings did, because to some extent the other kids had some sort of privacy or weren't being talked about like crazy. A lot of people didn't even know Casie or Megan's boys existed at one point.

Maybe I'm looking too deep into this but his caption he put thank you for the ULTIMATE gift Megan. It could be simply he was thankful for Megan for giving him another child to love but also "Ultimate", to me was like what about Casie? Idk, I could be doing too much.

I am curious to see how Saga grows up and what type of nepo will she be. Or will she be like no to the spotlight and all of Hollywood and just go live a normal life. Or r they going to try and push her to be in the industry like a model, actress like mom or music artist like dad.

This is moving a little off topic, but I never understood why Celebs name their kids crazy. names They name them either after objects or like pet names. Like they do realize they are naming living breathing humans, right?

What do you mean there are kids name Apple, Bear, and Audio Science?

[the-good-bad-truth]

*They are not going to just give it up and go live in a farm in the middle of nowhere with their 5? kids.*

Lfmao. You reminded me of when they were talking about kids and he abruptly said, "NO, we already have five between us." At the time, there were actually only four—unless, in his twisted logic, he was also counting the child the in the walls girl had after him... but still.

The fact that this pregnancy was unplanned (which we’ve been saying since before they even announced it—lol—but a certain fandom tried to use him making a wooden boat as "evidence" to the contrary) just makes it all funnier.

I'm not saying he minds having two daughters... I think by now he’s come to terms with the idea, even if he hasn't had much opportunity to actually live with both under the same roof. Maybe now that it’s summer, that could change—but Casie has a day job, and I doubt she’d want to take time off just to visit her dad and deal with calming down her crying “little sister” or be the one he unloads her on.

But I bet he would absolutely lose it if he had to live in a house with ALL of her children. Casie would end up becoming his unofficial trauma dump therapist, and she doesn’t deserve that. She deserves peace in Cleveland, with her mom and mother's side.

I still to this day, don't think it was unplanned at least from her perspective. Just because I remember her saying how her body was not capable of carrying a child and then a couple months later she pregnant, Idk. I also think it's weird that she would tell us that part, like why does it matter if it was unplanned, she could have just said a surprise or secret blessing.

For sure if all the kids lived together with him and M, it would be an absolute mess. I don't think they would fight in front of the children, but I'm sure as Casie would be the oldest daughter/child she would know and be aware and then become into the third parent and shield to the younger kids. And I do not think she deserves to be in a house like that.

[the-good-bad-truth]

Predictions: One of these two options.

1.They’re probably going to have a wedding similar to Barker and Kardashian’s—sponsored, with brand deals, labels involved, and maybe even a TV show.

2.OR He’s likely going to spend several months on a big tour, and for about 95% of the dates, he’ll be with his new daughter and her mom—sharing behind-the-scenes content, onstage moments, and possibly even doing a docuseries, similar to what Pink did.

I don't know about marriage with them, but who fucking knows?

I can definitely see and feel that he is already trying to lean more into the family man narrative/role. If I'm correct the album is called Lost American or something so he could be playing into these whole traditional American values like family, God etc.

[the-good-bad-truth]

'It sounds cliché but im happy as fxxk' Well, honey. It doesn't look like it 👏I agree with anon. Everything seems forced, tho I like Cliche the song even that feels forced. It's like he's forcing himself to be this pep-pier (is that a word? Peppy) version of himself and we all know of his mental health struggles. I sometimes can't believe this is mgk. He's changed but is it for the better? It's sad to see maybe he's truly become a sell out 😕 when he used to be the 'realest motherf**ker'.

Sometimes, I'm like that to, like what happened to MGK?

I understand that he was heavily intoxicated/into his addictions and struggling really badly with his mental health. But there are parts, even in that time that did not have to go.

It's like when your favorite youtuber or band/artist move to LA and/or start popping off and ur like Oh, I know what's coming. Your favs start not posting or only posting when it's a sponsor, their music become lazy or overly played, or the tickets become so absurdly expensive that u have to either support from afar or move on.

This could just be me, but why do I feel like if he never met M or only had her in that MV and that was it, TTMD/MS still would have been successful. I feel like that would have been better because then he could have connected more with new fans and also be freer.

Girls, Young women could have thirsted after this man without being like Oh wait we can't because he's with QUEEN MEGAN FOX. He also could have been dating multiple women and having true chemistry, been more his wild, creative, vulnerable self without the constant criticism of how it would affect his relationship with M.

There's also this thing when it comes to songs and who they were written based off of. An example is like Taylor swift's music (and yes, I am swifitie), but with her music, many of her fans/people are like this song is about so and so and how he cheated, or did this and this on this specific day and I can't believe he did this blah blah.

And that's fine to an extent for the lore of everything but then it's like can't i just enjoy the song and possibly connect it to something in my life rather than Taylor's. She has a song called loml, which some connect it to breakups and stuff but for me I think of people or my dog that have passed away.

But back to my point is like, it's sometimes hard or I am finding difficult in connecting with Colson's new music because it's always being connected back to her and I'm sure it was created/inspired by her but we as fans, public should not be like this song is for megan, and only megan.

[the-good-bad-truth]

Are you still thinking they are just coparenting? It seems like there might be some sort of attempt at reconciliation.

I'm going to be honest; I keep going back and forth on this feeling that they are or are not.

A part of me wants to be like no, they are just being respectful towards one another (rather C is trying not to get on her bad side) and learning to coexist as a unit for the baby. And that him talking or mentioning M on red carpets and stuff is sort of him giving calculated insight to how M is doing because people are curious why she has not shown her face yet while also not openly confirming they are never going to get back together cuz it could make people upset that he broke her heart or whatever while she was pregnant. It could stir unnecessary drama for them.

The other part of me, that is growing a little more every day is that they are together or are going to eventually give it one more go. If that happens, I can see them lasting a little more and being this happy family and stuff. But then, the wheels are going to come off and fuck it all up.

Guess we just got to wait and see.

[the-good-bad-truth]

I think he was lying about Megan and the therapy session, or at least, that’s the impression I got, since he seemed hesitant to share it, to say the least. I hope, for his sake, it was just a white lie.

Because imagine asking someone to run away, leave everything behind, and elope… right after a therapy session. Like, really? Maybe it’s time to change therapists, or even give up on seeking therapy altogether. At that point, the problem might not be the doctor, but your entire mindset, something no one else can truly fix for you.

Also, Mr. Baker?! What exactly does it mean when you ask your “Megan” to leave everything behind? Are you talking about leaving the baby with some random babysitter? Or do you mean just the other three kids she already has outside of your relationship? To be fair, she seemed to have already done that ages ago, or else you would’ve had the chance to be an involved stepfather. It all just seems a little confusing—like, make it make sense.

And this isn’t even my original point, just something other people have already brought up: Why would you ask someone you just had a child with, or were having a child with, someone you’re getting therapy with and see on a daily basis... to WAIT for you? It honestly makes more sense if you were asking someone else (maybe another ex?) to hang on while you figure out how to be a new baby daddy

I'm keepin' you waiting. But I won't wait on you. (Forget Me Too. Written late 2019 / early 2020.)

I just found and saw the video where he was talking about the Cliche song. I wonder if he meant he was in a session with Megan at the same time or if Megan was acting like a therapist and he was venting.

The things about these two idiots is that they just say shit for shock value or to keep up this crazy, wild, modern pam/tom narrative when in reality they don't necessarily want these things. Why talk about getting married in Vegas if homegirl don't want marriage? Like Colson go find someone who does. Or the lyrics and message of the song is things that we already know he says to her, like I love u, ur too good and I'm bad, lets run away from our problems, wait for me. It's the same repeated shit that him, the articles, songs have been saying for as long as they've been together.

I can also see M finding enjoyment in hearing these things but not because she finds truth in them or romantic. It's more of like she's like "yes, I have this man in the palm of my hand."

I think when he mentioned the running away, I think they would take their children. Right? However, one, they don't want to run away because C/M love attention, love fame, love Hollywood, love the edits and fans worshipping their dumbasses. They are not going to just give it up and go live in a farm in the middle of nowhere with their 5? kids. You think Brian or Casie's mom would allow that, no. Even though Brian is a weirdo, I will say he is the better parent at least when it comes to just him and Megan and Casie's mom has done an excellent job of raising casie, so M/C will not be able to take the children away. Also cuz it will break up the "home" even more.

And I think M and C are going to realize that they can't do the shit they were doing b4 the baby was born. If i see even ONE article of M and C doing ayaschua, or him breaking a glass on his head, or M talking about how he fucked her on a coffee table or going on stage with him and smoking weed, I'm a be like someone get this baby immediately. I can't even see Megan being sexy anymore (she will try), or even Colson acting like promiscuous either. Now, it's cringe and to me will be an obvious cry for attention.

Like imagine them tonguing each other on a red carpet and then being like our baby girl learned the abc's today.

For example, Kim K is a mother of 4 and now when she poses sexy or shows off in a thong bikini, I don't get sexy from her and I just see her as someone's parent trying to cling on to her hot years. The same goes for someone like Tommy lee, known for being like one of the hottest rockstars, but now it's like that's someone's grandpa and dad. Wrap it up.

[the-good-bad-truth]

I just saw a vid on his insta where it's him and rook and them being like "F the haters, angry DuDeS R CliChe, and dude u know this is a pop song." Something about it, is giving me the ick. I'm not going to lie like Colson, honey, the song is not ur best work and it's ok and normal for some people not to like it, especially on twitter. I don't like when he does this or responds to hate in this way because I know he's trying to clapback, but it comes across as if it bothers him but he's just masking it as humor and "own" someone. He did this before with scribbling eyeliner on to be "emo" or something. Idk, y'all I'm a just wait and see if the other singles or album is good.

----------------------------

You hit the nail on the head!

⚒️👩‍🏭

He always bragged about the fact that there were no YES MEN in his team and how, when he did that mixtape (GTS), which was almost self-admittedly a cash grab, they were very critical of it and cornered him to ask him to take a different direction for the upcoming album (hence how Hotel Diablo was born!). And they were so right—Going Through Sh*t was truly sh*t”; besides LOCO, LANA'S unreleased, and LATELY , everything else sucked.

I wonder if, with the money flowing in, just like he changed for the worse, they changed too—becoming yes men who approve every single move he makes, knowing it will make more money for all of them. Ooor, maybe they’re all in on it—fully aware they’re churning out garbage but happy to call it a necessary evil in the name of chasing the kind of financial freedom and wealth anyone would want for themselves, their family, and yes, even their second baby mama. (Any resemblance to real people, living or dead, is purely coincidental 😂)

If I'm being honest, I'd rather have him releasing binge style music then what he is releasing now(might be a little bias cuz Lately is one on my favorite mgk songs)

I do think the dynamic in his circle have changed over the years, whether it's because they no longer live with each other, are older/mature, etc. I still think they are close, but I do think they see him changing, for better or worse, idk, but they do. And I don't want to blame a woman for this, but I'm going to cuz M coming into Colson's life and theirs's shook shit up. Like I could only imagine their faces when C would come home and randomly start talking about how he spent the night drinking moon water or something.

There has to be a reason why most of them don't really follow M, or congratulated her on the announcement, yet in the documentary they was praising her as a goddess and angel.

I think right now, they sort of grew used to this new him and are just letting him take the lead on the music and using their talents/skills to help accomplish, create and support their brother. Or maybe it's is like you said and they like the money/opportunities coming in, so they just doing what they need to do, for the money to keep flowing.

[the-good-bad-truth]

'It sounds cliché but im happy as fxxk'

Well, honey. It doesn't look like it

I don't know if he's happy, I feel like that is something he struggles to feel truly. It's almost like he is constantly questioning himself like Am I happy? especially in moments or events that are typically meant to bring happiness. Idk if I'm making sense. For example, with the success of TTMD/MS, he seemed like proud of the success but then there was this layer of him just being overly reckless (smashing cup in his head), looking miserable in photos with M(his muse and "love of his life). He just sort of masked it by putting his everything into his work.

To give him some grace, he is adjusting to now having two daughters, a coparenting situation and releasing an album, so I would expect him to look a little tired. Idk if it's just me and maybe it's also because I have not been really keeping up with him so I could be wrong, but it feels like he is putting an act or laying it on thick that everything's fine, that his new, upcoming music will be the best thing he put out when his heart is not really in it. Idk, it's like he's gone autopilot.

[the-good-bad-truth]

Check out the latest Instagram posts with Colson. He is at the AMA red carpet saying he has to get back cuz his baby is sick.

Yeah, I just saw it. He didn't seem to be too concerned or worried so the baby's fever should not be too severe, so that's good to hear.

On another note, I will say his fit/look for the Ama's is simple but I kind of like it. He does look a little tired, but it could be just because of the baby.

[the-good-bad-truth]

He was just talking about her on the red carpet, well not really her but more so the two daughters. Cliche was the first song he played for “the baby” when it was still in her stomach. And basically confirmed he wrote the song after a therapy session with her.

I was going to say a joke but maybe it's best if I keep it to myself. Still, I think it's cute that he played the song to the baby, it reminds me of what how he plays and connects with Casie by playing her his songs.

So, he still having therapy sessions with M. I mean it makes sense I guess since they are coparents, they do have to have some type of relationship. Hopefully, the therapist told them not to get back together and encouraged them to just be cordial and friends with each other.

[the-good-bad-truth]

I thought the video call with Casie was cute (her reaction of seeing his new song and saying she was going to stream it). But then it was cringey like the anon said when he mentioned "little sister." Which is the obvi bc he could have just said sister. "Little" seemed extra. It all seemed like a staged (as a "happy family") vid bc why would he be logging onto Spotify w/o knowing his song was on that playlist? Then the fact Megan was prob. filming & the breast pump machine in the b.g. smack there

I think the breast pump and the "little" is something we should not be looking to deep into, it could just be a coincidence or nothing.

But I do think that the vid was meant and purposely recorded to show this happy family narrative a bit. I kind of feel that with this album it going to be using that narrative to sell or boost its numbers. Like he posted the video of the 3rd graders and was like they should have a pizza party like ok. It doesn't make sense, or I think i saw a clip of some event where he went to the crowd and hugged a kid. It's just weird and I feel like it try hard. Maybe I'm thinking to deep.

I just saw a vid on his insta where it's him and rook and them being like "F the haters, angry DuDeS R CliChe, and dude u know this is a pop song." Something about it, is giving me the ick. I'm not going to lie like Colson, honey, the song is not ur best work and it's ok and normal for some people not to like it, especially on twitter. I don't like when he does this or responds to hate in this way because I know he's trying to clapback, but it comes across as if it bothers him but he's just masking it as humor and "own" someone. He did this before with scribbling eyeliner on to be "emo" or something. Idk, y'all I'm a just wait and see if the other singles or album is good.

If I'm being honest, I would not be surprised if we get the baby's name revealed during this album cycle or even have Megan with the babe on the side stage at his shows or something. I don't even think M would have a problem with this, because at the end of the day, it will only benefit both of their careers. Like they might use this baby to be like having our daughter made us rethink our relationship and stop being toxic, she healed us.

[the-good-bad-truth]

So do you think they are still just coparenting or there is something else going on?

I am pretty sure they r coparenting but I'm not sure about their relationship. Because we could say that him having that female dancer in the video could be confirming that they aren't together. Yet, at the same time it could be that they needed a female in the video but still he was playing safe and having the dancer not be dressed to provocatively in order to appease Megan and her fans/media who would have used it to start shit.

I mean who knows they might be together, but I have not seen anything to confirm it. Unless one of u have, but I'm a say no, they are just being cordial and coparenting with each other.

[the-good-bad-truth]

Your opinions are mine. He just doesn't know what he wants anymore and does it for others to make them happy. He dressed as a 2000's pop artist like Aaron Carter and called it good. He keeps saying his music is genreless but... No it's pop, Bruce Springsteen is genreless and will always be. It's fine being put in a box guys, but that's me so what do I know.

I think he does know what he wants at least with what he wants to gain from his career. It's pretty clear at least to me, that he wants a grammy, he wants another #1 album, he wants validation from the music industry, no matter what it takes to get these things he will do.

Even if that means, he has to sacrifice he authenticity and creativity for it. I think he is confused and is struggling with the feeling of why has his "career" has not made it to a certain level, you know. I want to say he has always felt this way, but i do think it got "worse" during 2020 and the pop punk, where he got a taste of what his career could and should be. The thing TTMD/MS hype only lasted a short while and I would argue did good because of quarantine and how the music scene shifted to a pop punk sound. Now, that it's over, it's kind of being overdone and seen as cringe.

I think the reason why Cliche sounded like something he would have released in 2020 is because it's a song that would have blown up in that time. Like I could have seen him performing this at ama's and stuff.

Another reason why I feel like he is trying to bring up that pop punk/ttmd era up again, at least from the fame and success it brought him. Idk if u guys remember but when quarantine had just started, he was doing covers/freestyle on yt or insta and it helped bring traction to him, which set the scene up for how successful TTMD would be. And his label wasn't really doing any PR for it, maybe because they didn't think it would work seeing as he was known for being a rapper. So, he used the covers and Megan to boost it himself. And it worked for a while and for that specific time. This is why he is doing that same thing again for this album. He has been releasing covers/freestyles, catering to the youth (3rd graders apparently) and filming these BTS videos of reacting to the "numbers" and being like "wow, this is such a monumental moment."

In a weird way, he is doing what Megan does. You know how she tries to be different like either writing poetry to look smart, being a feminist girl boss, caring about nature to look natural and doing roles (rogue/midnight in switchgrass) to be taken more seriously. But then it doesn't work so she goes back to what made her career which is being hot and acting like she's on Porno set.

He tried to be this rapper and be deep, showing his vulnerability and art but then it doesn't' give him the results he wants so he's now going back to being pop punk era and following the tiktok/song of summer formula.

The shit is though that going through this or going about it with a multi-genre album and the songs most likely going to be pop punk, acoustic, easy/simple lyrics is that it is damaging and straining what he had already built. As in his fanbase, who now is more filled with fans that are either r there for M, the baby or just his pop punk stuff rather than people who once found community in his lyrics about mental illness, struggle with addiction and other vulnerable stuff.

"Cliche"-song review

So, I just watched the Cliche music video a little bit ago and I don't know how I feel about it. It, dare I say, it sounds like something he would have released in 2020.

The song is not bad per say. I just feel like when u considered his entire discography, I would say he has released better, way better. Like one of the reasons why I love Hotel diablo (yes, i know two different genres, but still written by the same man) is the writing and word play and the depth of the lyrics. This song doesn't give that and maybe it's supposed to be a sort of play on the title being Cliche' but still.

I think I saw he was calling this the song of the summer. You know what it gives, it gives those TikTok based artists that are in their car and have like their mom/friend/gf and they play the song for them, but the reaction is like forced. Didn't he go into the desert to work on the album and this is what he came up with. Yeah, Idk.

As for the music video, I did not mind the dancing, but I feel like it isn't something I would see in an mgk video or from him. If he did dance, why didn't he do something like the, I think it was the pressure music video. I will say I was shocked to see a female "love" interest especially showing a bit of skin because knowing Megan. But like, idk if it was just me but it kind of felt like the dancer was trying to be sexy and have chemistry but Colson was acting like he never even touched a woman before.

I don't know why and maybe it's because he has gone "mainstream" that he has to be a cleaner boy and less explicit. But it's like this isn't the mgk i know. Like Mgk used to hook up with P stars, bring girls on his bus, get topped off on stage and rap about it. Now, he's writing lyrics like "I like that you like me." And I understand he was under the influence back than but still even now that he is sober, I kind of expected more.

And I'm pretty sure this song is about Megan, just as I predicted it would be. I guess I'll just wait till more singles come out or listen to album, which has he announced anything about that?

[the-good-bad-truth]

The entire dynamic is weird. If your coparenting do you spend the night at their house and spend time together. Doesn't that start to blur the lines and become confusing?

I mean it is fairly new and can always be adjusted. I am also with you with the potential of blurring the lines between coparenting under the same roof and not getting back together. If we are talking about two different people, I would be like if u can make the relationship work especially with a new baby, then go for it. But we are talking about M/C's relationship where, although they have been together for quite a while, does not mean that they're compatible or the relationship was healthy. It wasn't. She did not even want to marry him and still she had his baby, so clearly a part of her wanted him in her life forever but not with a ring on her finger. Hmmm.

Like I understand because the baby's a baby and so young that it is best two have both parents to build a connection but what about when she gets older, you know. He is gearing up for an album release and eventually there will be a tour, most likely, so that adds another element to coparenting. Like how would it work, because what if Megan wants to get back into acting for the 100th time, it will be hard. Unless she going do some dumb shit and drop her off with Brian.

I think what I'm trying to say or what I'm concerned is how are they going to mesh and blend the children, you know. How are her boys, going to connect with the baby girl, when their father hates her father. On the other hand, how is Casie going to bond with the baby girl, if she lives in another state and does not seem to have the best or any relationship with Megan, like will Casie and Colson go visit the sister at Megan's house and then go back home, only spending a few hours with her sister. And is Casie going to have a relationship with Megan's boys or what about Baby Zane, is he going to connect with the baby sister since they share brothers, but not blood between them.

You know, it's confusing and a mess. It doesn't help that the adults are acting immature. Guess time will tell.

[the-good-bad-truth]

I watched the video of him and Casie's midnight phone call for the song release, and I noticed one thing—I’m not sure if other people caught it too. When he told her he couldn’t scream because “your sister is sleeping,” she just stayed quiet in an awkward silence, to the point where there’s a cut and a jump to where he must have changed the topic and started instructing her on how to find the song. I don’t know if I’m reaching, or if she actually didn’t appreciate him saying “your sister”—which would be more than understandable. That surprise might have been pleasant to Megan, and I’m sure to him too by now, but I don’t know about a teenage daddy’s girl. She has every right to feel a type of way about the “your sister” comment.

For someone who claims to be so thoughtful of Casie’s feelings, he could’ve chosen other words—“baby” would’ve been better.

I just saw the video on his insta, (I have not yet listened to music video, I'll probably do it after I post this and give my honest opinion)

As for the interaction, I did pick up on that which is probably also why he could not really celebrate as loud as he wanted to, it makes sense why wake the baby? I can't help but think if it wasn't just because of the baby sleeping but also whenever he is with Megan (assuming she was the one recording), he never really celebrates or shows too much excitement in her prescence.

I did find that moment to also be awkward and maybe I am reading too deep into this, but it did seem that Casie was awkward about especially with that weird cut in the video. I mean, the baby, has been here for like a month, two months. It still pretty early for at least Casie to adjust to having a sister right away, you know. She also could have just felt awkward being recorded or it was late where she was idk.

I don't think he even really though it was weird using the word sister, because it is her sister. I do think it might take some time for Casie to connect, not in a bad way, just in a way that she has been his only child for what 13/15 years, so now it's different that he has another kid and another daughter at that.

I don't know, I just this whole dynamic is an interesting take on what a family should be. It, at least to me, would create a lot of awkward moments like this and confusion overall.
