What have I just been added to? What is Just the Tip?

Michaels

Well, this was Olander’s sex tips chat (which is why we left you off) but now this is Olander’s emotional support chat.

Nebs

Well, I appreciate you holding off until now. Some things you do not need to know about your brother. But Jackson, man, we’ve got you. You’re family now. There’s no getting rid of us.

Barnes

Damn straight. Family. Let us know when you land.

Winters

We’re here for whatever you need, man.

Stone

Just take it one day at a time. Jimmy Schultz is the captain over there, and he’s a real stand-up guy. Like Winters said, you need anything, just text and we’ll figure out how to make it happen.

Me

Thanks, guys.

Just let Frankie know and make sure he’s okay. I couldn’t reach him. Did anyone else have any luck?

Michaels

No. Sorry bro

Barnes

Me neither.

Winters

Nada

Nebs

I didn’t either, but don’t worry, we’ve got him taken care of. Just focus on trying to keep your calm. You’ve got this, Jackson. We’ll figure this out.

Stone

Step One: Get to Cali and focus on baseball. Major Leagues, Jackson. You made it, man.

Winters

You’re going to kill it out there.

Barnes

Slayyyyy.
