If you’re a fan of Breaking Bad’s Jesse Pinkman and his foul-mouthed love for the words “Yo” and “Bitch,” you’re gonna dig actor Aaron Paul’s new messaging app. The actor announced the launch of YB via Twitter. It’s exactly the same idea as the multimillion-dollar, single-purpose app Yo, except your selection of greetings are much more colorful. The phrases are also voiced by Paul himself, with in-app purchases available for extra lines.

Now you can send “colorful greetings” to your friends in the Breaking Bad actor’s voice. Sometimes, just texting your friend a bland “hey, what’s up?” won’t cut the mustard. That’s when Aaron Paul’s new app “Yo B-tch” will come in handy. The app, named after the signature phrase of Paul’s Breaking Bad character, will allow you to send your friends audio recordings of his voice saying “colorful greetings” like the app’s name, or alternatives such as “Bueno, b-tch,” or “I love you, b-tch.” The app, which is free in iTunes but offers in-app upgrades for purchase, was announced by Paul on Twitter on Friday, just in time to spread some good cheer for the holidays.
