“She’s angry, I want to go hooping on my day off … and we (squadron) just got back from a long road trip. Lol and yes, that’s real,” Rivers said in his first headline at the Instagram story.
“Can I have a day off for myself?” Michelle is heard asking in the background. “Do you want to spend f-king day with me?”
