"Oh, y'all been having secret family meetings about me?

*adjusts glasses*

Cousin Marcus, let's discuss how you're a 'crypto millionaire' but still borrowing gas money in the family group chat.

Auntie Patricia, you joining in too? Your relationship status changes faster than your wig collection, and that's facts.

Uncle Mike questioning my parenting? Three baby mamas all named Ashley might wanna focus on his own kids first.

Sister Sarah spreading rumors? Baby, I got screenshots from Thanksgiving when you was crying about your fifth failed business this year.

This was just the preview. Don't make me pull out them timestamps and receipts. Next time y'all wanna have a family meeting, remember - The Reader keeps files on everybody."

The Baby Mind Reader 

pronoun

Derek Ogilvie is a Scottish "psychic" (or rather psycho) who uses cold reading techniques, and pretends in all seriousness that he can read unruly babies' minds for their parents. What he actually does is mention a series of possible reasons why the mother is single or the couple aren't getting on very well until he hits the jackpot and they cry, having not imparted any practical advice as to how to deal with the errant child. He has a television show in the UK on Channel 5. He's a fraud.
I can't see how anyone actually believes The Baby Mind Reader is actually a psychic... he's blatantly guessing.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
