Kanye West spoke out in an interview with Forbes about his choice for Vice President: a 57-year-old woman named Michelle Tidball who describes herself as a “biblical life coach.” Every media outlet is trying to get in touch with this lady, but no one’s had any luck… until now.
I went over to her house and politely asked if she could let me use her bathroom. She said NO. So then I asked: “what would Jesus do?”. That led to a 15-minute discussion about whether or not Jesus would let a stranger pee in his home when they could perfectly do it outside, but eventually, she let me in.
Bea: Thank you for agreeing to speak with me.
Michelle: You said you wouldn’t leave my property until I did…
Bea: Let’s start from the beginning. How do you know Kanye West?
Michelle: Kenny? We met at a supermarket here in Wyoming…
Bea: Mm-hmm.
Michelle: We were both looking for Sour Skittles…cause they’re delicious. And he just started talking… for like 53 minutes… I wasn’t even sure he was really talking to me, but I didn’t want to just leave, in case he was.
Bea: Sounds about right.
Michelle: He’s so sweet. God bless him.
Bea: Uh-huh. So did you guys talk about running for office together… or how did he end up choosing you as his running mate?
Michelle: Kenny and I talk all the time… at least once every three months. We have very similar beliefs… that’s probably why.
Bea: Like what…?
Michelle: Well… we both really believe in God…. like really REALLY…. and we both like living in Wyoming… and neither of us watches the news.
Bea: Oh. You don’t watch the news?
Michelle: God no. Never. They’re depressing. It’s all drama, drama, drama.
Bea: … I hear what you’re saying.
Michelle: I’m a Certified Professional Coach, and I always say to my clients “Don’t be bad.”
Bea: They’re lucky to have you…
Michelle: Damn right they are. Excuse my french.
Bea: So… what exactly qualifies you to be running for VP? What do you bring to the table?
Michelle: I have a lot of experience as a Life Coach… I’ve been assisting numerous individuals in shifting their lives for over 10 years!
Bea: Really…? How many individuals are we talking about?
Michelle: At least 3…. Four, if you count my cousin Bertha. But she lost her eyebrows recently … she was cooking… it’s not pretty.
Bea: I hear ya… and I’m sorry about Bertha’s eyebrows… I hope they grow back… but that still doesn’t explain …. what I mean is… you don’t seem qualified to run for … well, anything, really.
Michelle: Was Jesus qualified to save the world? Was he believed he was special?
Bea: Uh—
Michelle: No. He wasn’t. But he was… And so am I…. and so is Kenny… he’s such a sweetheart.
Bea: When you say “Kenny” you mean “Kanye West”, right?
Michelle: Of course. Kenny is just how he likes it that I call him…
Bea: … Gotcha.
Michelle: [Silence]
Bea: Well… thanks for letting me pee in your bathroom… I think I’m ready to go now.
Michelle: No problem…. Take some cookies if you want. I made them last month but they should still be good…
I actually did take some cookies. She was wrong. They weren’t good.
