đż Last weekâs debate was wild! Trump roasted veggies đ„Š, and Biden looked lost in the sauce đ”âđ«.
America, last week we witnessed a one-of-a-kind event. Trump did something we've never seen beforeâhe took down a vegetable. And sleepy Joe? He proved he's the modern-day JFK because his [__] brain was all over the place. Kamala may be the Jamaican one, but Biden looked like he had a blood clot. He got more drool on that podium than the HW Tua girl with a sinus infection.
The question everyone's asking is: who won the debate? And it dependsâsorry, depends, you know, the adult diapers that allowed these two Metamucil monkeys to talk for 90 minutes without a piss break. Trump's bladder must have looked like a Lizzo yoga ball. Biden didn't make it all the way through; his underwear were more soaked than a Dubai strip mall.
Trump easily won the debate, which I'm sure he'll never bring up again. Biden's performance was frankly terrifying. Biden took pauses so pregnant, Alabama declared them life. It was so concerning that even CNN said he should no longer be running for president. He's already the [__] president.
This is the most important job in the world. Would you let Biden do any other job? If he was announced CEO of Apple, you would sell your shares in a heartbeat. I wouldn't let him run Apple; I wouldn't let him eat a [] apple. It's applesauce only for this guy. *What about babysitting? You going to let Biden babysit? [] no. The only person letting Biden babysit is Casey Anthony.*
It begs the question: why on Earth is Biden still running? Is he a maniacal, power-hungry narcissist? Maybe. Or is he a man of the people because he's the last line of defense against the bigger threat to our country? No, not Trumpâa woman who has the charm of a genital wart and the cackle that would make Van Gogh sew his ear back on just to cut it off againâthe Wicked Witch of the West Indies, Kamala Harris.
Biden had the plane on autopilot, but at least we don't have Kamala Abar in the cockpit. The greatest reality show in history. Sit back, relax, and enjoy. What's up, everybody? Welcome to [__] range. Obviously, we got to talk about this debate. Man, did everybody see the debate? Yes, sadly.
Why did you cook Kamala like that? She's Jamaican and Indian, so she makes her own wigs. I do think that Kamala's job security is a wonder if they do this [__] on purpose. Sometimes we assume that these political parties are idiots. They make mistakes all the time; they're bumbling. But is it job security to give Joe Biden the most unlikable VP so that he never has to worry about his job?
People hate Gavin Newsom. Like, everybody in LA and all these other [__] hate him, but there are people that love him. He would probably win, and he looks like a politician. If he was Biden's VP, I think they'd yank Biden. They'd probably choose someone who can get a swath of votes that they need but also kind of... what's that QB2 thing we were talking about? Oh yeah, you don't want a backup quarterback that's not going to challenge for that position.
I bet a lot of starting quarterbacks were not lobbying for Colin Kaepernick. They actually manipulate the media to make Kamala less likable. I mean, she does a good job of helping them. Well, she doesn't do anything. I haven't heard anything about anything she's done except her laughing. I think we were ready to like her, but she just fumbled it somehow.
Said a few things we didn't like, and then we're like, now we're done, we're good. A Jamaican and an Indian with no opinionsâyeah, you've never seen that before in history. A [__] nightmare, it was an abject nightmare.
He's saying a lot of wild [__] too. Trump lied; Biden couldn't speak. What did Trump lie about, bro? Everything he did is the bestâeverything. All right, we [] this one up. Biden [] the bed, but we need to position Trump in a way. Biden essentially was like, "Yo, I didn't do good, but at least I told the truth." Trump is this liar, but I bet Biden lied too.
It's a performance, and it's what you say and how you say. The amount of lying was so far past the point. There's always fact-checking. Everything he did was the best; he was just doing feelings, no facts. It's a fun part of the debate. Trump said that everybody wanted Roe vs. Wade overturned. People were upset at me about that post about the abortion post.
There was a discussion in the debate where Biden and Trump were talking about abortions at 9 months. Biden wouldn't give a declarative answer about how it's wrong. Taking a baby out there in nine months for no [__] reason is, yeah, you're killing a baby. It was really a fumble because in the past, he has vocally said like, no, that's ridiculous.
Virginia dude, yeah, and he was being like, what's it called, hyperbolic, and hyperbolic ran with that [__] as if all Democrats want abortion at... People were upset in the comments, and it was really funny in the comment section because half the people were like, yeah, it's crazy to do that.
đ¶ Procrastination or not, calling a baby a "parasite" is wild! đ„Ž
Yeah, you're killing a baby. I was like, wait, is this even a discussion? I thought everybody was on the same page. In the past, Biden has vocally said that such an idea is ridiculous. It was one senator who made some stupid comment, and it was the Virginia dude. Yeah, he was being hyperbolic, and hyperbole ran with that idea as if all Democrats want abortion.
People were upset in the comments, and it was really funny. Half the people were like, "Yeah, it's crazy to do that," and I was looking at those comments thinking, "Alright, yeah, those are sane people." Then, other people were like, "You're a [__] monster for even posting this; you're a man, you don't have a right to say this." I spoke to a few people, and we know at least one of them, and they said up to any point in time, they think it's okay to do because it's their body, not mine. They compared it to a parasite, saying it's a parasite until it comes out of them.
I tried to just ask questions like, "You're not going to change my mind about this at all." The only time I'd consider it is if it's the life of the mother. That's what I said, "If it's the life of the mother, of course." But if you're lazy... Yeah, you procrastinated. We all procrastinate, it happens, but you pay the price. If you looked at it as a parasite for eight months, why are you waiting? Who has a worm in them for eight months? You know what I mean? Carrying around an extra 30 pounds. Shout out RFK. How long was that worm in his brain? Gotta get that worm aborted.
He really does have to get that worm aborted. He was right though; he could do better than them in the debates. With that debate, he might have won. I mean, they did the right thing by not having him there because America would be in disarray right now. Yeah, I mean, America would literally be going, "I'm voting for the worm brain guy." What the [__] is happening in this country where the best possible candidate just admitted that a worm ate their brain?
Here's the theory I've heard about the Democrats and abortion. Or do you want to stay on abortion? Yeah, here's the abortion thing. There's a weird disconnect or cognitive dissonance where you don't want to admit at a certain point that it's taking a life because that allows you to be okay with it. My general feeling, and this is probably going to upset both sides, is that once it has a heartbeat, that's a life. I don't know how it's not a life definitionally; you're taking a life. If you decide, "I'd rather take the life now than have them live an entire life where they're unwanted," I can respect that decision. But the idea that it's not taking a life is crazy. It's as crazy as considering a zygote at an IVF farm to be a life.
Neil Brennan said to me, "It's kind of killing, kind of a life." And he's right; that's why it's so hard because it's not really killing, but it's not really... what is it? Nobody has an answer. The funniest thing from Biden on that nine-month abortion topic is, "What are we even talking about?" He kicks back, bro. You are engaging with the kid; the kid is in there pounding you out. You're killing something that's kicking a woman. You know what I mean? What do we do with woman-kickers? We gotta take them out. That's what happens; if you're kicking a woman for nine months, you might have to get put down.
They asked Biden the easiest question about Roe v. Wade. "What are you going to do?" And Trump was like, "Everyone wanted it," and everyone's like, "Oh []." Then they asked Biden, and he was like, "I want Roe v. Wade." We had an immigrant that raped a woman, and everyone was like, "What the [] are you talking about?" Biggest fumble. Why did you bring that up? Yeah, I know.
Why are we so comfortable with all the fumbles? He's the president, not our grandpa. I think it's an important distinction we gotta start making. We're allowing him to make the gaffes, and we kind of laugh at the gaffes, and it's like, no, no, no, no, no. The job doesn't allow for gaffes. Well, there's this theory... There's a theory that because debates normally start in September, the Democrats pushed to have it in June so Biden could kind of expose himself, and they could swap him out, and then everybody would be like, "Yeah, this needed to happen."
Yo, but what's so funny about that theory is like, he's already exposed himself. Nobody just found out that he's [] now. Yeah, yeah. But now we really saw it. We really did. But I think they were all just remembering past debates and thinking, "Ah, maybe we thought he was too old in 2020." He did great in those debates, honestly. They drugged him up or whatever, and he did. And I think it's just the pressure of the debate that got to him because the next day, he looks pretty good doing one of his rallies. But then it's like low pressure; he has a teleprompter, he has the crowd energizing him, and [] like that. But that debate, he looked like two different people. Yeah, he cracked under pressure.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, that's just weird. Who chokes after they won a championship and they go to repeat? That's why I'm in the middle because I know he's doing these gaffes now, but he's doing a pretty good job in the presidential role. So I'm like... here's the thing. I think deep down, none of us believe he's making any decisions. That's cool with that. And here's the thing, okay, so you're cool with that, but you also have to empathize with people who are like, "I'm voting for a person, not the handlers." So if the person isn't making decisions, my vote is not represented. Now we don't have a democracy.
Yeah, but I saw what that person did the last four years, and [__] was too crazy. I'm not saying vote for Trump. What I'm saying is if somebody voted for Biden because they really liked his ideas and what he's doing, and then they find out he's not making the decisions, you can understand how they might feel a little disillusioned. Right?
So we have this weird thing happening where it's become normalized to believe that our president is not all there and other people are making decisions, and nobody can point to the other people because you just want to justify your side. But then those people are very anti-Trump. Why are you anti-Trump if you just donât like that one individual? Again, you just justify your side, saying it doesnât matter what the individual does; you're voting for the people behind the individual. Those guys are going to let things not get too crazy, but then Trump specifically is dangerous. How is Trump specifically dangerous if itâs just going to be the handlers?
You get what I'm saying? Not you, but those people who are like, "Oh, it doesnât matter; Bidenâs just getting handled anyway." They look at Trump and be like, "Well, no, you canât let that individual have the White House." I see what you're saying; there's a logical flaw there. I see the cognitive dissonance. But what I would say in that situation is, when I look at Biden, I'm like, "He needs to be handled." When I look at Trump, he will never let anybody handle him. Okay, thatâs fair.
And I think thatâs their concern. I think thatâs also like the party system's concern too. I donât think the Democratic operation is going to be that upset if they have a traditional Republican come in, right? Because they know they can kind of control them. And by "them," I donât mean the Democrats; I mean Boeing, the pharmaceutical companies, and all the people who butter the bread. I think theyâre like, "Yeah, we can work with that." I think they look at Trump and theyâre like, "Yeah, this guy, heâs going to do whatever the [] he wants." That scares the [] out of people, but thatâs also what people like if you feel disillusioned by the...
đ„ People vote for the candidate that makes them feel heard, even if they're "crazy"! đ„
When I look at Biden, I'm like, he needs to be handled. When I look at Trump, he will never let anybody handle him. I think that's their concern. I don't think the Democratic operation is going to be that upset because they know they can kind of control themâthe pharmaceutical companies and all the people who, you know, butter the bread.
I think they look at Trump, and they're like, this guy, he's going to do whatever the [ ] he wants. That scares the [ ] out of people, but that's also what people like. If you feel disillusioned by the pharmaceutical industry or the military-industrial complex, you want the dude who's not going to listen to them. Do you want a crazy guy that'll do whatever he wants or a crazy guy that can't do anything he wants?
I think they want a crazy guy that will do the opposite of what those old establishments want. I just want somebody to point a finger at those people that have [ __ ] me over. They believe that they've been [ ] over. We've done nothing but look down on them and not help them. At least give me the guy who says [ ] you back but on my behalf.
They don't feel a way that during the first four years, he didn't really drain the swamp. They're like, alright, at least this guy makes me feel good. You just vote for who's closest to your opinions. Like all these religious people voting for Trump, they know damn well this [ __ ] ain't religious. He paid for more abortions than anyone in this room.
Those dates and many more. I am a partial owner of a chai shop. It's called Fontanus. If you want to get good chai, honestly, this is the first great chai in New York. It is on 28j Street in Brooklyn. Get the tick from at a.com if you're in York. Let's get back to the show.
I still think he's their best chance to win, which is crazy. They don't pull... I think the debate format is way better for one, and I also think that it helped Trump. The first debate in 2016, when he's coming out, the crowd helped Trump immensely. He was able to play the crowd better than everyone, and that, I think, is what got him elected.
I don't think so cuz I still think he's their best chance to win, which is crazy. I mean, it goes to an election, and they do another debate, and hopefully... I think the debate format is way better for one, and I also think that it helped Trump. The first debate in 2016 when he's coming out, the crowd helped Trump immensely. He was getting charged up; he was able to play the crowd better than everyone, and that, I think, is what got him elected. It was the rallies, it was the debates, like all quotes.
In that debate, he tried doing the same thing, but he looked like such a bully. He got like high off the crowd's energy and then started like pummeling Biden. Everyone's like, yo, what's wrong with this guy? He's out of control; he's a Loose Cannon. This time, no audience, it was just the people, and then it was just him. He was very calm. I feel like he was very controlled. Biden was losing the time limit all the time.
And then Trump, I thought, looked way better, partially because of that reason. The time limit actually helps Trump. Trump will run the light, and if you're the Dems, if you're Biden, you want him running the light because once he gets through the thing that he's memorized to say and he starts freestyling, that's when we like itâthat's when he starts cooking. I would let that guy run. If I'm Biden, I would just let him run.
Stop giving him numbers. Every number is a fumble; he can't get past it. Keep it vague, like your memory. I do want them to bring back that they used to have the little ticker thing that showedâlike it was kind of like a fact-checker live. They had that last time, and I do think they should bring it back because it was so ridiculous.
I'm falling for every single narrative. I fell for the narrative that Biden said everything that was true that whole night. He didn't say one single lie. Then I go on Twitter, and people are listing all the lies. I fell for the narrative that Trump lied about every single thing, and then I go on Twitter, and I'm like, oh [ __ ], he did say something truthful in these moments. So I'm falling for every narrative left and right.
I hate information right now. I'm almost at the point where I'm like, you say something, and I believe it, so you better say more interesting lies than that [ __ ] because he got me with his lies. Charag always quotes, nobody believes the truth; the lie is more interesting. I want to see a fact check on a debate from the 60s. He goes, I want to win this fair and square. I don't want to have discussions on this debate about my opponent's youth, and then he flips the age thing onto the point where the guy that he's going up against starts laughing.
đ„ Charm can be a powerful weapon, even in the face of scandal! đ„
When he flipped the age thing onto his opponent, the guy started laughing. He even looked over and was like, "Oh, that guy's likable." I looked at the guy laughing at his opponent, and I thought, "You're toast, you are [ __ ] toast." He charmed his opponent completely. I used to think of him as this horrible person who destroyed urban communities and the economy. But every time I see this guy talking, I'm like, "Is this the best president ever?" He was quick on his feet.
Someone tried to kill him, he survived, and then at a speech, a balloon pops, and he stops the speech, goes, "Missed me," and then keeps going. The Republicans have painted Clinton in a way, just like the Democrats have painted Reagan. He charms his opponent to the point where the guy is laughing and doesn't even realize he's already lost. My opponent's youth and inexperienceâwow, what a [ __ ] dude, he was war-ready. Bill Clinton right now is younger than Trump and Biden, and he was president 30 years ago.
If you think Biden is a [ ] scarecrow, then you got to look at Clinton, dude. There's no life left in his body. It's a real shame what being married to Hillary Clinton for that long has done to him. Imagine if he had been faithful; that [ ] would have died at 60 years old. Can you guys believe that an adult who talks to children on stream for eight to twelve hours a day and has dedicated their life to playing video games might be into kids? Allegedly, I mean allegedly.
I've never seen someone handle a pedophilia accusation more confidently. It's really crazy; he leaned in so much that people started to doubt the accusation. He goes, "I don't apologize for [ __ ]," but maybe we should start.
Up until this story happened, I had no idea who this guy was. I never heard of him. He's like a Twitch streamer, former Twitch streamer, current YouTube streamer. He created this character called Dr. Disrespect. He's like 6'8", he can dunk, he talks [ __ ] on stream, and he has a huge audience. People love him. In 2017, he came on not as the character but as himself, looking kind of sad, and he apologized to his wife and family for being unfaithful.
Fast forward to 2020, he gets taken off Twitch; he gets banned. He can't be on Twitch anymore, so he immediately goes to YouTube and starts streaming there. Fast forward to 2024, an ex-Twitch employee tweets out that he had been banned because he was caught messaging a minor on the DM service of Twitch known as Whisper. He claimed that the messages got a little inappropriate in nature or something to that effect. He said he had no intentions of meeting this person and then edited his Twitter statement to remove the mention of the minor but then re-edited it back in.
YouTube demonetized his account, and he got dropped from a bunch of stuff. He was doing collabs with different companies, working with the 49ers, and even developing a video game with a studio. They all dropped him. Apparently, the case got sent to the child exploitation service of the United States. They saw it but then didnât investigate.
đš Double standards are everywhereâprotect kids from all forms of exploitation! đš
When I put it back in, it seemed like he kind of bungled his apology. Then he denied being a pedophile, which was a good move. YouTube demonetized his account, and he got dropped from a bunch of stuff. He was doing collaborations with tons of different companies. He was working with the 49ers and even had a video game in development with a studioâall gone.
Apparently, the whole thing got sent to the child exploitation service in the United States. They saw it but didn't investigate. Did Twitch know about it? If they did, why did they keep him on for three years knowing he had allegedly solicited a minor? If Twitch didn't know, they need to do a better job of monitoring their servers and understanding what people are saying to their audience.
They're going after this guy rightfully so, if what he did is true. That's messed up. But then, you have these bathtub streamers on Twitchâgrown women trying to soft-core cam their way into getting OnlyFans subscribers. The age to sign up for Twitch is 13. So, everyone is like, "Wait a second, what he did is messed up, but what these girls are doing, making sexualized content for 13-year-olds, that's also messed up. What are you going to do about that?"
You do have to spend a lot of time thinking about kids when you're writing a show. There are adult producers who write and direct these scenes. They might say, "Can you moan louder? Moan like a teenager would." It's odd and peculiar. It's not illegal because the actors are adults, but imagining hooking up with a teenager? It feels wrong.
Remember, it's creepy to write sexual lines for children, even if they're adults playing those roles. I don't like it. It makes it worse. If I wrote a story about me having consensual sex when I was 17, people might call me a pedophile for thinking about it. I don't enjoy those stories. I focus on the dragons.
When I was young, I was so bad at it. I wouldn't want to do it, but I don't know if it should be illegal. It does start to feel odd. In their mind, they're capturing a reality. They think adults should be privy to it. They're going for high drama, and there's no higher drama than the innocence of a child being taken advantage of.
If the show takes place in college, it's different. But when it takes place in high school and involves a trans girl being exploited, it feels wrong. The intention matters. If you're telling a story and it's necessary, that's different from cam girls clearly trying to sell sex without selling sex.
Euphoria is a show that nobody puts on to jerk off. They sexualize stuff in anime, and it's kids watching anime. The whole point is to get you to sign up to OnlyFans. Running a legit business is exhausting. You're always dealing with annoying stuff. Then these pierced-nipple girls are in their bathtubs, trying to draw 10-year-olds over to OnlyFans.
Twitch is also owned by Amazon, so they have to be on the safe side of everything. You're a trillion-dollar company. You have to worry about your brand being tarnished by these bathtub streamers.

đ Bronny's NBA draft? It's all about the $$ and the LeBron legacy! đđ°
Steph Curry is a valuable contributor on teams. Bronny, however, did not show the same promise. He might have a successful NBA career, but what he's shown so far is that there's no reason for him to get drafted. Even in his draft workouts, they were going through him and were like, "He kind of shot shitty." His only thing is to be a "three-and-D" player. He doesn't have the ball-handling skills and passing skills to really be a point guard. He's an undersized two, and he wasn't even shooting the ball that well. He didn't really exemplify someone who would want to draft even in the second round, but he got drafted.
Who cares? Let's not ignore the fact that there was a little help here. No one ever really cared about nepotism. When the whole "nepo baby" article first dropped, everyone was pissed, saying nepotism is everywhere. I don't think anyone ever really cared. It's like white privilege; it's the same argument. Now that more people can benefit from nepotism, I think everyone's going to be like, "Ah, a little nepotism is fine." It's the perfect argument if you're not a white person to give yourself more opportunity.
I have to find a competitive advantage. I don't have the nepotism. They have the nepotism, or they have the whiteness or whatever the [__] it is, so I have to make that look bad. I have to make that look radioactive so I get the opportunity. People who are anti-nepotism would argue that the lane is blocked because of nepotism. You can always make your own lane. Once we started getting all the roles, it's like, "Oh, you didn't want fairness; you just wanted to be the white man." Yeah, that drives me crazy. The nepo baby argument is just like jiujitsu. Y'all got nepotism; how do I flip this? It's your advantage; how do I flip it to make it my advantage and your disadvantage?
Media's on his side because they can't lose LeBron. We all just want to see a father and son play in the same game. How [__] awesome? If you look at it as a financial decision, it's not nepotism, correct? If I'm Bronny, that's what I would say. I'd go, "Guys, this is a financial decision."
LeBron too, so media is on his side. I think we all just want to see a father and son play in the same game. How [__] awesome? That outweighs any nepotism. It's the second round. The Mavs drafted an Indian Punjabi guy six years ago that I knew would never play in the league, and Mark Cuban was like, "We just made a billion fans." If you look at it as a financial decision, it's not nepotism, correct? This is a financial decision. There are people that really want to see us playing the game together. It's going to get so many clips; even if it's for 30 seconds, it's going to blow things up.
They're going to sell out because my dad is going to do that. But around the world, if you're interested in the game, you're going to want to see this. This is a business decision. People know what the hard work did, right? Like four points and three assists and one rebound. We understand the merit, and the merit isn't sufficient, so we're never going to look at you as if you're here for merit until you start balling in the league. Please believe, if you want to be on Bron's good side, if Bronny comes in the game, you're going to feed him the ball.
He's dealt with that his whole life. His entire life, there is nobody that is more comfortable thinking that people are doing things for him just because of his dad than LeBron James Jr. I think he's almost built a callousness to it. In terms of like, he doesn't resent it; he goes, "This is the world I live in. I accept it, and I got to do my best to go out there and hoop."
It doesn't really matter; it's good for the game. After you make the point or the sack, the game stops, and they throw [] confetti and [], because it's just kind of good for the pageantry of the game. It's good for the game as a whole to see the greatest of all time, arguably the greatest, with his son playing for a season. That's awesome; it's amazing. I'm a Laker hater, but now they got a coach that I love and they got a father-son duo. I'm so excited to watch a Laker game, and I don't think they're going to contend for anythingânot this yearâbut I'm excited to watch it.
Maybe he'll go play in Europe somewhere, maybe he won't, maybe he'll coach. Who knows what he's going to do with his life, but this is the nature of things, guys. Before we criticize this situation, I want everybody to think about how they got every job in their life, how they got every apartment in their life, how they got every bottle service at a club, and they're like...
Nepotism isn't always bad; it's about who you know! đ€đ„
"They're looking at it like, 'Yo, he took much,' but it's one spot on 30 teams. One of those people you... I think there was some post, and it was about another guy that was on USC. You saw that one who dropped like 14 a game, and he didn't get drafted. That is what it is. Maybe he'll go play in Europe somewhere; maybe he won't. Maybe he'll coach. Who knows what he's going to do with his life. But this is the nature of things, guys. Bronny scoring five a game didn't impact him scoring 14 a game, you know what I mean? 100% he could have scored 30 games, 100%.
And another thing I would say is like, before we criticize this situation, I want everybody to think about how they got every job in their life, how they got every apartment in their life, how they got every bottle service at a club. It's like... nepotism or cronyism is the other term when you're not related. Cronyism is the... okay, benefited you too. Everybody gets everything because of the people they know. Yeah, that is the natureâget better cronies, bro. That's just F real talk. If you don't got [ __ ], your crony Chris Rock said that about Bill Clinton writing a letter of recommendation for Monica Lewinsky. He says something like, 'That's his friend. How many of you guys got a job because your friend recommended you?' And I remember, I'm 15 or 16 or whatever, I'm watching, I'm like, 'Yeah, that's a great point.' Even I knew that back then. My first job was a friendâTarget. That's how I got it.
I actually hope Bronny balls out. I would love it. Yeah, I hope Bronny balls out, dude. I would love it. And if anybody could bring the best out of him, it's his dad. Yeah, yeah, and nepotism is not always bad. I mean, [ ] Bollywood isâthat's the nepo baby thing we've been talking about for decades. It's awesome. All nepotism now is shifting, but back when I was growing up, it's all in nepo. Do you think LeBron gets the 'Senior' on the back of his jersey? [ ] yeah, that's got to be so cool. I mean, if they just want to sell more jerseys, yes. Yeah, switch it upâJames Senior. He's old as hell. Bron's number is n, right? Six? Six and nine, is it? It's so funny. That's a little weirdâ69 with your dad, bro. I saw that out; everything but that. You sell them together, bro, that [ __ ] is awesome. They got to do Junior and Senior because parents would do that. Like, if you got a kid, you're going to get the dad jersey and then the son jersey. Yeah, this is family.
You got the Celtics winning championships and the Lakers aren't again. I think Reic will make them really good, but not this year. But they're not good, but you got [ __ ] father-son playingâthe greatest of all time maybe with his son. Like, what a time for the league. Yeah, the two anchor franchises, H PR through the roof. Yeah, has fire. Yeah, no, no, it's interesting, this is the reaction to it. I was shocked, man. Honestly, LeBron owes Michael Jordan a thank you for this because ESPNâremember when Sports IllustratedâI was referencing Michael Jordan plays baseball. Sports Illustrated writes an article, the cover says, 'Baggot Michael,' basically insulting him for playing baseball. Michael Jordan never... ESPN is looking at this like, 'Do we want to insult LeBron for this, or do we want LeBron to like us?' And then George Karl, I think his son played, so like, there's nepotism all over the league. Now we got to call it out everywhere. Let's just support this, and we're good. We keep LeBron; we don't piss off other execs that we got to call out later. We're good.
I'm going to throw out an 'allegedly' on this one because I have no proof to back it up. Oh, that's going to be goodâfeelings, juicy feelings. So, I'm sure you guys have seen, there was an article that came out talking about how Jordan's stats were inflated. Oh, did you see that? I haven't read the article, but I've heard about it. So, there's a few articles that came out talking about Jordan's stats being inflated. There's lots of content online talking about how Jordan really wasn't that nice. People reviewing old Jordan clips were saying, 'Oh, look, there was no defense back in the day, yada yada.' But what they did is they reviewed footage and then compared it to the stats that the Chicago Bulls had delivered to the NBA. Yeah, and they found a discrepancy. There were fewer rebounds, fewer assists, etc., especially the year he won Defensive Player of the Year. They would just award him steals that he didn't get. Now, oh [ ] one, the reaction is oh [ ] yeah. Two, this is what I heard, and this could be absolute bullocksâI heard Bron's team is behind that. I love that. I love that. Oh, I love that. Behind outing it. Oh, okay, I love that. Because what did Jordan do as soon as LeBron won with the Cavs? He said, 'Let's drop this Last Dance [ __ ] like if...'
They're like people reviewing old Jordan clips and saying, 'Oh, look, there was no defense back in the day, yada yada.' They reviewed footage and then compared it to the stats that the Chicago Bulls had delivered to the NBA. Yeah, and they found a discrepancy. There were fewer rebounds, fewer assists, etc., especially the year he won Defensive Player of the Year. They would just award him steals that he didn't get. The reaction is oh [ __ ] yeah. I heard Bron's team is behind that. As soon as LeBron won with the Cavs, he said, 'Let's drop this Last Dance [ __ ] like if y'all hey go...' Allegedly, is behind tarnishing Jordan's accomplishments that he knows he won't beat so that he can have better numbers. Like, if we stop believing in Jordan's numbers, yeah, now you can make the argument that maybe LeBron is the greatest of all time.
The fact that he's not chasing the best team and he's like, 'Well, I'm just going to retire in this beautiful, sunny place.' I get it, but I do think Jordan would never have done that. Jordan would have gone to a team like, I don't know, maybe the Sixers where there's an MVP candidate right there or whatever. Dude, the Nuggets wanted him three years ago or whenever he went to the Lakers. I just don't see Jordan joining a super team. I can see him making one, but I don't think he'd be like, 'Oh, they're the best team; I'll just go and beâ' I think he'd go to the best team where he's still the best player. Does that make sense? He's still the alpha. He owns, and he... I mean, he couldn't lose at owning a team. So, let me just get the [ __ ] out on the court. If he didn't own the Wizards, he wouldn't play on the Wizards.
There's some cool drama going on in the NBA. Like, the NBA is cooking right now in the off-season. Like, this draft specifically. There is a player who played for Dukeâwhat's his name again? Filipowski. Kyle Filipowski. Yeah, so there's a podcast with Zack Lowe, who's an NBA savant, knows everything. He has this guy on who's a scout. Basically, he was getting molested by his babysitter, and then she groomed him, and now she's divided him from his family, and he's going to play for the Utah Jazz.
Grooming scandal rocks the sports world! đđ±
Specifically, there's this story I don't know if you guys are reading. Did you read about it? I heard about it on... no, I heard shouts to Jake and Dam, my boys at... we helped break non-compete clauses all over the country.
So, do you want to break it down a little bit? Then, so you can fill in any gaps that I have. There is a player who played for Duke. What's his name again? Filipowski. Kyle Filipowski. Yeah, so there's a podcast with Zack Lowe, who's an NBA savant, knows everything. He has this guy on who's a scout. Basically, he was getting molested by his babysitter, and then she groomed him and now she's divided him from his family, and he's going to play for the Utah Jazz. Yeah, that's the quick of it.
Now, apparently, he dropped in the drafts because of this. That's why it's interesting, right? So, the girl I think is like 7 years older than him. I think she may have babysat him. They say that she used... what I'm saying. So, when it's... they went to prom together. Now he's apparently 18 at prom, she's 25, I think, or something like that. But they didn't meet on prom night; they probably were talking when he was 17, 16. No, I think she babysat him. There's a picture of her as a babysitter with him. That's crazy.
So, it's like they're saying that she groomed him and, I don't know, I mean, yeah, it's grooming, but I think she basically saw a meal ticket. Like she's like, this 7-foot white boy is going to the NBA, I'm locking this down. I got dick-sucking skills 7 years advanced. He never felt anything like this. I remember when I was 18 years old, there was this girl who was 30, sucking my dick, and I was like, this is the most incredible thing I've ever seen in my entire life.
I was like, 30-year-olds are back. She been in the league, bro. She wrote for Cosmopolitan. Oh, and I told my friend, I was like, yo, this girl's crazy. He goes, have you ever read Cosmopolitan? And he was like, I was like, nah. He's like, it's all about dick suckers. She better be good. Put your money where your mouth is. That's the original HW, that's the original one. So, these girls got skills that these young bucks know nothing about. She came in and apparently used some Mormonism.
So, that's what... somebody went down the rabbit hole in this 30-second conversation on Zack Lowe. Then the guy's brother makes an account, Filipowski's brother, and is like, yo, you have no idea how deep this goes. Look up Mormon grooming for a little more information. And that's apparently... I haven't looked it up, that's apparently what it is. She's grooming him, indoctrinating him into Mormonism.
Ironically, he gets drafted by the Jazz of all places. Not ironic, I mean he fell far in the draft. Yeah, but the Jazz, were the Jazz like, heâll fit right in? Is that what it was? Yeah, okay, fair enough. But crazy. You don't think the Jazz want the Mormon kid? Oh yeah, it's true. Well, he's not Mormon yet, is he? Yeah, I mean, she's got him in the Mormon... crazy story, dude. That's a good Mormon recruitment tactic. Like, yo, how do we get players? Send some honeypot. Yeah, exactly. These little teeny bobbers, they saw Britney Renner and they're like, oh, we got to get our own little... you know, our little guys. Can we get a picture of this girl? Yeah, no, she's bad. She's worth it. Yeah, she's bad. It's not like he's getting messed over or anything like that. She is worth it, but it is disgusting. Like, if this happened... yeah, if the genders were reversed, this would be crazy. Oh my God, yeah.
Absolute insanity. She got crazy eyes. Oh, she's insane. That's an insane girl. Yeah, you could tell. Yeah, but also, she's babysitting him right? He's probably 12, but he got crazy meat 'cause he's so tall. So, she's looking at it and she's like, yo, this is going to get... So, now this is off the drag, this is Game of Thrones. I didn't think about disrespect. What were y'all thinking about? You still thinking about in the building? You said meat. You can't say a word without thinking about that.
That was wild. You got the mustache already, you just need the wig, son. I swear to God, you like... called he likes boys. Yo, I said big for 12. Bro, why you know frame of reference? Because I've been 12, dummy. You so you know, just yours. Yeah, hey Shultz, wait, you know what your dick looked like at 12? I don't remember. Y was 28 years ago. You don't remember your 12-year-old dick? I don't remember my 12-year-old dick. I don't think about 12-year-old dick. That's suspect. What do you mean you don't remember? Who remembers their dick 28 years ago? He was a little fatter back then, he couldn't see it. Oh, that's fair, that's fair, that's fair. But yeah, you remember being a child playing with your dick. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you really doing this thing? Yeah, absolutely, I'm doing this thing. What is the thing you're doing? Trying to... you look like a pedophile.
Yeah, why would I be a pedophile? Know what my dick looks like? The fact that you don't know what your dick looks like makes me think you like kids. 'Cause you looked at so many other dicks, you're like, I got them confused. I don't remember, I got no clue what my dick looks like. I don't know. You would only know one dick. You can't remember one? No, not 28 years ago. I remember my dick yesterday, today. What about 10 years ago? It probably looks similar to what it does now. Yeah, when did dick stop growing? Mine got smaller. Back, I think mine grew back. Think went back. Well, I just got fatter. I had to Google it. I was like, I think my dick... I think I got less hand on my dick. Oh really? 'Cause I think I used to have more hands on my dick and now I have less.
So like, possible. I literally Googled it. Do your dicks get smaller? I asked the doctor. I was like, is it possible your dick gets smaller? And the doctor was like, the story, yeah, I told you. And the doctor was like, no, you just gained weight. He goes, the last time you heard, you were 20 lbs less. And so, your stomach is growing out and taking dick away. Damn, that's crazy. Yeah, the best motivation for you... talk about you have a little dick all the time. Losing weight would make your dick big. I know.
Do you want to keep your dick at 12? Yeah, I like it at 12, dude. I like it, I like it. That's what you got to say. How big is your dick? 12. Just say that. I say, yeah, that's it, man. Okay, so, so, uh, I don't know. It does get smaller. It does get smaller, right, as you get older. Build up of fatty deposits in your arteries reduce blood flow to your penis. Why does it go to your dick? You should get more fat in your dick. They should figure out a way to do that. Fat transfer to your dick. They do. Really? You get the BDL. I mean, if women can get a dick sewn on, you don't think that we can get ours a little bigger?
Yeah, true. Isn't that crazy? That's a good point, actually. Yeah, that is a good point. What is the average size of a penis that a woman gets put on? A trans... we should be able to... trans man. Yeah, we should be able to dictate that. Hey, chosen didn't even want to say it. They should be national average, which I think is like... no, if you get to choose, you're going big. No, but that's... yeah, that's crazy. Give them the average.
Rick Ross gets snuffed in Vancouver! đđČ
Nothing happened, of course, and something happened, but it doesn't look bad for him. Yeah, I think so, yeah. I think actually it looks really bad; the crew got [] up. I mean, the crew got destroyed, demolished. He got escorted out, just barely, like he was hiding behind barricades. This is like, "I'm Ricky Ros, I'm tough, you're a little [], you're a [__], you're white." Heâs really talking [__] to Drake, and itâs not even in Toronto; itâs in Vancouver. He got snuffed by a white dude. I know all that white boy talkâyou get snuffed by the white dude. I know, thatâs wow.
It was Tiny kids I was [] about too. I mean, so I do think it's not a good look. 50 Cent's already on it, 50's already dropping. Oh, heâs IMM, itâs incredible. So, I do not think itâs the best look, yeah. And Drake's whole weapon this timeâthis whole timeâis humor. *Yeah, like it hasn't or Rick, sorry I said Drake, Rick Ross's weapon of choice this whole time with Drake in his feud has been humor. It's effective, just being funny. This tough [], you don't need to do it. Also, you don'tâthese guys are huge. You assume they can fight. We don't know thatâget UFC-fighting-ass bodyguards. There was one guy there that was so [] big, dude, it was unbelievable. He was a mountain. That [] up, the black guy that got absolutely demolished. He got folded. I was wonderingâI didnât understand what was happening at first. I was like, where is security? And I read a comment, I was like, oh, that's the security. I was like, that's not good.*
They are usually supposed to just be a deterrent. You see a giant man, you donât want to do anything. But you know, they're big for a reason. Sometimes they gas out quick. You know, hit them one time in the gut, they might go down. The other thing you got to consider is Canada. This whole beef has been basically getting called [] this whole time. They're going to take that away. Even if they are [], to us, they're going to try to prove to you, "We're not [], [] you." Oh yeah, they're down. Their Lord and savior is looking. Apparently, he doesnât get love in Toronto like he used to at all. But you're just going to keep calling us []? Weâve been made a joke of this whole time. [] that. Even if we donât [] with him, weâre going to R. It's like my family. If Iâm beefing with my family and you say something about him? Well, now itâs on. And if you start calling our family [], itâs on.
So, what do you think happened, though? Do you think Drake was like, "Oh, Ross is going to be in Canada, we got to send some people to go make sure he acts right," or do you think people were just there and they were like, "Ah, no, I think Drake would send goons, but I don't think those are Drake's goons." I'm more towards the first one. Really? Yeah... yeah, of course, he comes to B. It doesn't need to come from Drake even. Like, I donât think he ever said it. What I think is that the message is out, like, "Yo, if I think if Rick Ross goes there and he just plays his songs and then leaves and he's not disrespectful, probably nothing happens. Maybe he gets checked a little. Keep in mind when Pusha T was in Toronto, what happened? They booed him. I think that's it. They threw the water at the stage, and I think he got almost attacked on stage." Rick Ross had to know this was coming. Thereâs no question. This is how it goes down. You have to look at Canada like a state. It's not a country; it's a state. And if you come to that state and you [__] with the governor, you get touched.
I think everyone involved in that beef that was against Drake will have problems whenever they go to Canada. I'm really curious to see what happens when The Weeknd goes to Canada. But why? I donât know if anything will happen. The Weeknd is the biggest pop artist in the world right now. Oh, I see, I see. But he's intimately involved in this beef with Drake. I'm sure he got people that are supporting him in Toronto, and I'm sure that there's people that are supporting Drake. And by people, I mean goons on both sides. They're going to clash. I think it's neutral. I feel like it cancels out. My guessânope. You don't think so? There's too much to gain. Like, if you're a goon, this is like, "Bro, yeah, it's like, ni, it's Hamilton." Like, you know Hamilton in the play? "I'm gonna get my shot." He wants the war because that gives him an opportunity to rise up. Yeah, the goons are looking at this like, "This is my opportunity to rise up. It's my opportunity to shine."
I donât think Kendrick goes to Canada. I think he's just like, "We're not, I'm not, I'm not, I don't even think KendrickâI'm saying the Canadians. This Canadians is going back." Yeah. H, you got to see your family. The Weeknd was at the show in LA, right? I don't think he went on stage, but I believe he was there.
Ceasefire now, Drake! đïžđ„
I think it's neutral. It cancels out. Nope, you don't think so? There's too much to gain. If you're a goon, this is a moment, bro. It's like, ni, it's Hamilton. Hamilton in the play, "I'm gonna get my shot." He wants the war because that gives him an opportunity to rise up. The goons are looking at this like, "This is my opportunity to rise up; it's my opportunity to shine."
I don't think Kendrick goes to Canada. The Canadians are going back. The Weeknd was at the show in LA, right? Drake liking the post and all that. Drake liked the post of Rick Ross getting beaten up on somebody's pageâhe liked that post.
No, no, no, I don't. Escalating things, we saw this play out in '96-'97. People died escalating it, adding fuel to it, making it seem like you co-signed it. I don't think that's a good move. You've got to go to Miami. Miami looks [ ]. You've got to go all over California. California is riding for the West super hard. Don't be public about it; just fall back and be like, "Hey man, that's just Canada riding. I can't control that." You're throwing fuel on a thing that I don't know you want to throw. Beefing with a certain person that restricts your ability to go tour in that area ends up becoming very expensive. You could actually calculate how much money you're going to lose because of that beef. California by itself, as Miles just said, is the fifth largest economy in the world. Meaning if you're Drake, you could go and do an arena in San Diego, an arena in Orange County, an arena in LA, an arena in San Francisco, Sacramento, and Inland [ ]. You could have all that, but you'll cut it off. He'll get the right security, but it is expensive. That's going to cost him, and that security is not cheap.
The Bon, let you disrespect Poac thing, I was like, this is really asking people toâthat was, yeah, and that, I was like, this could go very far left. You're invoking your audience to go act on your behalf. Now, some of your audience, if you have millions of followers, are going to be mentally [ ]. Yes, but they love you so much they'll do anything for your support. They're [ ] for you. I didn't love that line, and I've supported pretty much every move he made, but that line, I didn't love. Some of your audience, if you have millions of followers, are going to be mentally [ ]. Yes, but they love you so much they'll do anything for your support. They're [ ] for you. We love the beef as long as it's not violent. Nas and Jay-Z was the best because it wasn'tâit didn't get violent as far as we knew.
He's basically saying, "Yo, the Bay, you're [ __ ] if you do, if you let him disrespect Po." I fear this is the domino that starts to escalate, and that's why I'm like, "Drake, why are you liking this? This is only going to go up from here. Ceasefire now is what we need." Ceasefire now, dog. Yeah, I don't want to see people die behind this. That would be a good songâDrake dropped that song, collab "Ceasefire Now." That's what we need. Apparently, it's possible that he might be contractually obligated to be a part of certain projects as a part of his deal, and he has to continue to put out these tracks that are scheduled for the summer. When you're the biggest artist in the world, you're not going to just make a song on a whim based on how you feel; things are scheduled throughout the year. That was a thing in the beef where Rick Ross was mad at Drake because Drake apparently didn't allow French to put out a song that he was on.
I think the day after he dropped the Drake diss, he performed the songs he did with Drake, I think at a high school prom or some [ __ ] and just leaned into the humor. If he went to Canada and just leaned into the humor and did all the songs with Drake and then made a joke about it, that would have been a smoother move.
Taylor Swift is today's Michael Jackson! đđ€
Rick doesn't seem to care. Yeah, that's what it seems like to me. That's one of the things I really want to knowâhis reasoning for his beef with Drake. It can't just be about friendship; it's got to be something more. He represented Meek Mill, Meek Mill was his client. What Rick Ross should have done, which is what he did, I think, the day after he dropped the Drake diss, is perform the songs he did with Drake. Al was saying he still does the song... put that clip out. God, it hey Drake, I see you on the Edsâhe's one-off humor this whole time. Can't I know the ego gets there, but I would have loved it.
There's a documentary that is on, and let me preface this by saying: the greatest concert I've ever been to is Taylor Swift. The greatest concert I've ever been to in my entire life was Taylor Swift. I say that Taylor Swift is Michael Jackson today; it's the closest thing we have to Michael Jackson. Call her mother; I call her mother. I was not a Taylor Swift fan until I went to that concert, and then I saw, and I was like, this girl is the truth.
There's a documentary on Max right now. This documentary is almost impossible to find on Max. Imagine at the height of Michael Jackson's career, a documentary came out on one of the premier streaming services about Michael Jackson, and nobody was talking about it. It almost makes you think that there's some information in that documentary. If you watch this documentary, you will find out that Scooter Braun is a [ ] [ ] man. You will see that what we think happened and what actually happened between Taylor and Scooter is a world apart. She framed a very different narrative than the reality.
This girl is truly brilliant and incredibly genuine. When you watch her on interview shows or even on a red carpet interview, whatever she says in that moment is the most pure, authentic, and genuine thing. Her ability to communicateâwhen you watch her just talking to a single personâyou see why she's so endearing and likable. When Kanye calls her and asks her kind of for permission to do the song... even the way she's on the phone, she's not on the phone like the biggest artist in the world; she's on the phone like a little girl that thinks she's going to be bullied by her older cousin. They asked her after that, like, how do you feel about that? She was like, uh, wasn't that good. Were you a fan of Kanye West? And she goes, yeah, it's Kanye West.
When you watch her just talking to a single person, you see why she's so endearing and likable. She's not on the phone like the biggest artist in the world; she's on the phone like a little girl that thinks she's going to be bullied by her older cousin. They asked her after that, like, how do you feel about that? She was like, uh, wasn't that good. Theyâre like, were you a fan of Kanye West? And she goes, yeah, it's Kanye West. She remembers everybody that wronged her, and I'm going to [__] destroy you. What if Taylor was really upset at Justin Bieber, Steve Boretta, or Scott Boretta? The problem with Justin Bieber and Kanye West is they have fan bases, man; they have people who ride for them. Justin posted a picture on Instagram of him FaceTiming Kanye, Scooter, and a DJ named Martin Garrix, and he goes, the caption of it is, uh, what's up, Taylor? The idea with the picture is, hey, all of us are together, we're boys, let's do it, and then he took it from Martin Garrix's Instagram and used it to antagonize. I don't see the songs about Justin; yeah, I don't even see that many about Kanye, to be honest with you. Is it also possible she's just an incredibly shrewd businesswoman? Instead of paying for her masters, which apparently Scooter did offer, and there was a negotiation and she didn't love the price, instead of doing all that, you know what I could do for free? Re-record everything, get my fans to buy it even more by weaponizing victimhood.
Taylor Swift turned industry drama into billion-dollar success! đžđ„
She took some shots at him, but for as big a thing as she... You know, she gives that whole album to a guy she dated for a week and just light jabs to Kanye. She didnât really go hard on him. I mean, sheâs just an incredibly shrewd businesswoman. Instead of paying for her masters, which, apparently, Scooter did offerâthere was a negotiation, and she didnât love the priceâshe thought, âYou know what I could do for free? Re-record everything, get my fans to buy it even more by weaponizing victimhood.â Not only does she avoid paying hundreds of millions for her masters, but sheâs also going to make a fortune. She's going to be a billionaire.
She has this big machine record label; sheâs been signed with them for like 13 years. She finally finishes her deal and wants to buy her masters back. Big Machine goes, âWell, we can work something out. For every new album you give us, weâll give you one of your old album's masters.â There was also another option for a complete buyout, and sheâs like, âYou know what? I donât want to do that.â Taylor has said throughout this process that she never knew anything; they didnât even give her the opportunity. Her dad, while there were email correspondences saying otherwise... Taylor knew what was going on, and her team knew what was going on, which wasnât consistent with what Taylor was saying. That manager just so happened to retire.
She decides not to buy them out and signs with Universal. That really pisses off Big Machine. Theyâre like, âWhy would you sign with Universal? I gave you an opportunityâeither buy them or earn them out, and now you're going to go sign with Universal?!â Universal has made a deal with Taylor that nobody else is aware of: they were going to buy the masters back for her and give them to her. Universal plans to give her back the masters; thatâs why she goes to them. How do you think that makes Big Machine feel? Pretty salty.
Scooter Braun, he didnât know any of this. He asks, âDoes Taylor want to buy the masters? Because if she does, I would like her to be involved in this. Iâm investing in Taylor; I want to be involved in her business. I think sheâs the biggest thing in the world.â She had a little issue with him because he represented Kanye, and she took that as a slap in the face, apparently. Scooter didnât rep Kanye until after the famous video came out. He did promote the video and the art piece, which has her in a wax sculpture naked. Feeling kind of violated, like, yeah, you can call it art, but itâs still her body. When that call happened with Kim and all of them, they doubled down and tried to make it look like she was lying, which she wasnât. She said, âI donât know if Iâm comfortable with it just yet,â and never mentioned the explicit line. She never gave consent; she never said, âYeah, go run with it.â Kim and her crew tried to make her look like some hypocrite. It was gross.
Iâm going to sell them to this other guy... She was a part of it, she wasnât even the majority of the label, but public perception is that people look at this and go, âLook, she made the songs, she wrote them herself, she recorded them with her voice, she played all the instruments. Why is she not entitled to them? That seems kind of messed up.â Our business model is to take 20 different bets. We bet on 20 different podcasts; maybe one blows up and pays for all the others. Thatâs what record labels do. There are 19 other artists who only eat because you were a success, and thatâs the game. And that one person that does make it is like, âWell, I was always going to make it. Why do I have to pay for those other people?â
Taylor Swiftâs genius? Playing the victim while ruling the charts! đ€đ
Everyone who makes it believes that they were always going to make it. Taylor probably would have made it any other way; she would have made it no matter what, but she happened to make it with them. Some of the things that she says just outright were not true. She said Scooter tried to make her sign an NDA if she wanted to buy the Mastersâthat she would never publicly defame him and could never criticize him for the rest of her life. Thatâs just not true at all. The NDA was, âYou canât discuss the deal,â which is every NDA that you ever sign.
They were scared because Taylor said she was going to re-release the albums, so they were like, âWeâre not going to give you all the money.â I think the more people listen to the new albums, the more they'll listen to the old ones and compare them. What is it called? The rising tide lifts all boats. Sell it at a loss, and then sheâll stop using all this Me Too language about you. She was using these like actually charged words to describe whatâs going on. In that Kanye phone call, he goes, âHey, I want to get your opinion because you have an army behind you.â She stops referencing Scott Borchetta and only references Scooter.
So many of the comments are, âI just watched a documentary, I love Taylor even more, SC Braun even more.â And itâs like, âOh, why is going to live in the reality you want to live in?â Thatâs the thingâitâs emotional, and she is brilliant. There is nobodyâthis is the brilliance of Taylor, you ready? And I love her; it was the greatest concert ever. This is the genius of Taylor. Scared of Swifties? Youâre right, I am. This is the geniusâready? Has there ever been anyone in history that is a billionaire, the most successful in their field, truly unstoppable, chart-topping success, and also unanimously thought of as a victim? Impossible to manage those two things; itâs masterful.
I mean, the emotional IQ necessary to have all of your fans still see you as a victim while everybody that has aggrieved you has been punished, thrown to the wayside. Now I tell Scooter, I was like, âMichael Jackson did it for a little bit. He tried and he tried.â Yeah, I know, but like I tell SC, âYo, nobody got to feel bad for you. Youâre a billionaire too.â Are we complaining about likeâyou ended up killing it. I understand where youâre coming from, where youâre like, âYeah, but people think of me like as this thing that isnât true.â There is facts and evidence in emails that show that she is lying; this is not a true thing, and people still think of me that way. And that would frustrate the hell out of me. His ex-wife was saying she was getting phone calls at the house threatening the lives of her and the kids. Like, this is not, âYo, I made money, thatâs great, you donât have to feel bad for me,â but thatâs crazy.
What is the Taylor Swift breakup song thatâs a three-dimensional, âWe were both at fault, things just didnât work out, sorry about that man, I wish it did?â Yeah, but thatâs not art. I see your point, but I mean, yeah, I understand your point, but that would be boring. Like, whereâs the rap song where itâs like, âWell, he did have a reason to shoot up my homies, but I have to get my payback?â Thatâs the rap you want; you want like emotional maturity. Like, we were too young or whatever, you know what I mean? âWe were too youngâ isâthere are songs that are like that everywhere. Exactly. But you understand that the art is better this way, without a doubt, 100%.
But itâs just crazy to see like Big Machine or whatever has the emails on their website. Yeah, like, the proof is there. It just shows like humans are so emotional; we just want you to represent a feeling we have, and then if you donât, weâre not even going to look the other way. I bet you Taylor and Scooter have never spoken, by the way. Since they spoke like maybe three times before this and once it started to cook, theyâve never spoken again. I bet you. My suspicion is once the narrative is set, you donât want to talk to somebody that could finish by making you feel empathy for them and see both sides. Youâre like, âOh damn, maybe I did overreact a little.â Yeah, no, like youâre making money and have your army going with your narrativeâdonât change it, live in your bubble.
Game of Thrones: House of the Dragonâdid you watch it? Iâve only watched about 30 minutes of the episode. Okay, dude, this conversation youâre having right now, right thereâI mean, Iâm down for you guys, we could talk about it. The last thing I was thinking on the Taylor point is that I think she really did benefit from beingâagain, I donât think the Kanye thing made her famous, I think thatâs obviously notâbut it did thrust her into a national spotlight in the eyes of the American people as someone that was taken advantage of as a victim. And thatâs really, really beneficial. And that has never stopped happening. No, she has continued; she saw the powerâshe was a victim there. Like, I think what happened was wrong, but being brought into the national spotlight in that way I think is really beneficial.
Itâs funny, I was watching the doc, and they talk about when Kanye calls her and they have this interaction, which is quite charming. He goes, âHey, I want to get your opinion because you have an army behind you.â The line in the song that he asks is, âI think Taylor Swift might owe me sex.â Thatâs the line he asks her, and he sets it up like, âI think you might be upset,â and then she said, âIs it mean?â He goes, âNo, no, no, itâs just whatever.â You feel so bad for this girl.
Kanye made Taylor famous? Drama sells records! đ¶đ„
Continuing from where I left off, it's really, really beneficial, and that has never stopped happening. Being brought into the national spotlight in that way, I think, is really beneficial. He asks her if it's okay if he puts a line in the song, "I think Taylor Swift might owe me sex." She goes, "Oh, well that's not that mean," and she kind of laughs a little. She then adds, "Okay, well I just kind of need to think about it, but I thought it was going to be way worse."
I genuinely believe Kanye thinks he made her famous. There are so many of these things, just like every great controversy, where there's so much information swirling around and nobody's actually talking to one another. Imagine if they had a conversation and just squashed it. She could've said, "Yeah, I shouldn't have told the fans to go do that [__] to you guys."
Here's the thing about the documentary: it's kind of boring, I'll be honest with you. Like, it's not the best documentary. The Taylor side is like, they're both about 50 minutes each. For 35 minutes, it's all about what a great person Taylor is, how everybody loves her, and all these other things that have happened to her. Then there's like 5 to 10 minutes of, "Here's what happened with the deal."
In a surprising twist, they let us know that Scooter's family died in the Holocaust, like 30 seconds in. There's no reason to bring up the Holocaust, but immediately in the beginning of Scooter's side, it's like, "By the way, Scooter's whole family died in the Holocaust."
