and top european union officials declined to meet with him that's uh apparently they were talking cash shit about him i don't know what these like what's true about some of these quotes or whatever but it was like something about him being like they're saying he's like a political arsonist and a felon oh yeah with this fucking guy oh wow what could it have been his looking the other way when muhammad bin salman uh just had jamal khashoggi just extra judicially assassinated i don't know what could it have been anything all of it all these people's careers need to be fucking over period yeah well you know a lot of these people i mean who know if if there was a way to find out what kind of money these people were getting from unknown places into weird accounts that they control that's the shit that we need

i mean at the end of the day the fucking money talks and that's why i'd hope part of whatever investigation examination of this insurrection uh you actually get to the money like who the money people are because yes there are a lot of people who had a hand in it but then there are lots of people with the resources to get these people to act stupid um because that's the you know that's where all the details come up. It's almost like we might need the help of somebody from Luxembourg to look into that sort of shit. Mr. Poirot, if you will. Yeah.

Was he from Luxembourg? I don't know. Actually. Or maybe Belgian. Is that where you're referring to? No, I was just the dude who canceled or who said he was going to meet with him was from Luxembourg.

Yeah. Sorry. Sorry, Poirirot hive i fucked that up i should have known some of the meanest people on social media oh my god borrow twitter when they come for you don't not don't and don't call him herculee yeah he'll fuck you up yeah i did that i made that mistake one too many times yeah that was just one time you got and then you say but you got buck 50 at the third street promenade uh sheldon adelson speaking of careers being over oh boy there he is uh dios yeah yeah the conservative billionaire philanthropist or not philanthropist but donor fuckery spreader yeah fuckery spreader uh he gone yeah he has passed on uh yeah i don't really know what to say about this motherfucker i mean he's fucking putting all his money into the wrong shit i mean again once that citizens united ruling came out he was one of the first motherfuckers who was like, okay, thank you.

So I can't put all this into dark money PACs? Okay, let's go. So, yeah. Rest in peace to a piece of shit. Rest in peace to shit. It's almost like these casino magnates are are never uh as good a people as you would expect yeah what is it about a casino taking advantage of people i mean that might be addicted to gambling and then have a bunch of

games where basically the odds are may the odds be in your favor, casino owners, forever. I mean, I'm just trying to think of, so we got Steve Wynn. We've got Donald Trump. We got Sheldon Adelson. We got Andy Garcia's character in the Ocean's movies. Yep. Not good people. And if you want to hear my opinion on it, they're not the best. Look, I don't know if i'm as brave as you

to be able to say that but yeah maybe maybe there is something about that guy uh steve caesar tom mgm jim bellagio those are all uh contributions no no jim bellagio is the guy who passed away very tragically the comedian oh right right uh but the the super producer anahosnia came with those uh she knows more about the industry than me probably well she also owns a casino so right things y'all don't know about super producer anahosnia for 300 magnate uh let's talk chuck norris he's trending trending. Have you heard about these jokes about him? They're so funny. It's like Chuck Norris beat up

heart disease or something. Chuck Norris doesn't get sick. He fucks up people of color in his dreams. I'm sorry, where was I going with that? I don't know what Chuck Norris is on but yeah the you know he's he's he know people

know where he's at in the in this new world we're in and because of his support of the president it you know it was only a matter of time that some fucking loser who looks like him is walking around with like a bolo tie during the capitol hill insurrection taking selfies and people be like yo chuck norris is here this motherfucker a patriot and him whatever this person is not saying no i'm not chuck norris or at least allowing these people to do that or maybe it was just a bit but that basically forced his publicist and his like crew, whatever you want to call it to say, uh, Chuck Norris was not there.

That there was an impersonator. Um, that's that headline is being spread across, uh, the media. Don't, don't impugn the good name of Chuck Norris. This dude really does.

Like just looking at a modern day photo of chuck norris this dude looks like if chuck norris hadn't had uh work on his face done right that's but his hair is exactly the same just saying chuck i don't know man i think there's actually even more to this with what he was saying okay so his manager told usa today this is not chuck norris and is a wannabe look-alike although chuck is much more handsome what chuck remains on his range in texas where he has been with his family oh a little bit of trump in there you know was he like that you know you know chuck look if chuck norris saw that guy goes that ain't fucking me that's some ugly ass wannabe and you tell the fucking paper i said that it's an ugly ass wannabe and

the real chuck is way more handsome than that bullshit you saw it's like when someone gives you a lookalike and you're like really insulted by it like right no no way just whenever you see those things and it reeks of someone forcing them to say that about them you know what i mean like that scene in like the ty cobb movement you say i was the greatest fuck of your life or whatever movie that is and you're like oh jesus christ the toxicities running rampant so yeah celebrity managers an interesting group they're like you know those people who are like academic experts on like one historical figure and like live their entire lives for that one historical figure you mean senators exactly uh but and then we'll just sit idly by for someone they think has more

influence than them and just sit on their hands and not do anything and just kind of go with the flow celebrity publicist you mean yes yes uh and then finally uh trinity rodman is trending yeah because i've been shipping those two for years trinity and dennis rodman uh and it's about fucking time they got together hell yeah and now their child trinity rodman is a fucking tearing it up no so dennis rodman's daughter trinity is apparently a fantastic uh soccer player and is out here uh you know tearing it up at washington state and you it was putting up fucking numbers and now it's basically saying like, Hey, and I'm declaring myself eligible for the NWSL draft. Uh,

so catch me out there. Wow. So yeah, she, she was the number one recruit in the country in 2020. Uh, so she's like treating it like it's like a NBA prospect one and done. Like,

right. I'm too good for this shit so i mean yeah shout out i'm i got it i want to see some footage now because i'm curious like because i know he has a son dj also who plays basketball oh really um yeah i know he i think he also plays for washington state i think they all go to washington state but anyway is that where robman went i thought he he went to like some Arkansas school. Yeah. That's what I thought he went to.

Um, but yeah, his son is at Washington state, but I mean, I just, I'm curious to see what like that Dennis Rodman competitive mentality looks like in like on the soccer, on the pitch,

if you will. Uh, cause I have a feeling and you know, I'm always interested i always like seeing like the children of athletes and trying to be like are you like your parent exactly because hey man i'm old i remember when your daddy was in the league i'm just picturing that exact question with you holding out a microphone or like a report reporters recording are you exactly like your father huh who are you with uh no no way just just a fan of your dad's and kim jong-un so uh in 2020 uh she played in the conca calf women's
