  1. --the text from Uncle Joe to the Aspiration CEO expressing concern that the Aspiration CFO was holding up Kawhi's endorsement contract and wasn't on-board with the scheme --the Aspiration marketing VP not knowing who Kawhi is and everyone at Aspiration figuring out it was shady because they were paying him so much and he was so boring, only later finding out it was purposely a no-show job --huge staff turnover at Aspiration soon after their founding and Ballmer putting in ~50 mil$$ including not having a CFO or comptroller because all the finance execs could see there was ongoing fraud and they bailed. --even if the two Clippers "investors" didn't take time to do financial due diligence the huge money losses at the company were public including with exposes in Forbes, and no other investors would touch it
  2. All of that. One of the funniest was the discussion about Cuban's comment that Ballmer would have been an idiot if he didn't throw additional money at Aspiration to try to keep them afloat in order to keep his cheating on the NBA salary cap and financial fraud from becoming public. Followed by a former Aspiration employee and leaked financial records obtained by Torre stating Ballmer did exactly that. Also on the other podcast Cuban took the time to go on while saying he was too busy to speak with Torre again so he didn't have to face someone who actually knows what they're talking about, Cuban questioned all of Torre's reporting by imagining that there were plenty of other investors putting money into Aspiration. But nope, only Ballmer and his Clippers partner were putting in money (and enabling Kawhi to get paid) right up until a Federal agency showed up at their HQ for an investigation and ended the shell game. Torre also unveiled an incriminating letter from the Clippers CFO. Also there was discussion about Cuban saying to Torre that you only have the side of partner A, who's now a convicted criminal so your reporting is questionable, and that Partner B is the supposed key and will have a different story, Cuban imagined, because partner B was not indicted. But Torre obtained texts/emails, and copies from partner B's deposition that were all highly incriminating of both partner B and Ballmer in just an extremely stupid and hilarious manner. Ballmer is running around claiming he was defrauded but he put in something like $118m into Aspiration -- and between Kawhi getting paid and the Clippers getting paid for a "sponsorship" from a company that seemed to be fraudulent right from the start, his net was pretty close to 0, from what I can recall.
  3. I hit play on ep 4 this afternoon not knowing if there was new info or if it would be a rehash of previous reports. I was not disappointed. Incredible reporting and very entertaining breaking news. "Ballmer is highly respected among his fellow owners and right up until all the new evidence started piling up we were all hoping there was nothing to this story." lulz
  4. Your question didn't seem bitchy at alI. I had seen the preview, did not read the book, and figured I wasn't going to like the film but gave it a shot just because I went along with a group and it wasn't my choice. Other opinions...I thought the acting was generally good and certainly the film has excellent production value. Cooper seemed like a natural. I thought the actor who played Charlie was likable but there were times when he wasn't a natural fit- to me, he seemed too polished for the role he was playing and came across more as an actor than a character, if that makes sense.
  5. That was about the point I would have bailed if I had been by myself - the 15 mile mark. Dystopian, gory flicks aren't my thing.
  6. The Long Walk. Went with the crowd against my better judgment. I should've kept walking. Worst, most boring, cringe movie I've ever seen.
  7. Arch may suck but at least he doesn't tip off run or pass at the LOS like the ND QB. AFAIK.

  9. How anyone can call Fuentes left wing is absolutely fucking crazy but I guess that's one of the false narratives that needs to be publicly knocked down, and hard asap.
  10. MAGA!! Body not even in the ground before: - Crowder changes his twitter bio to brag about taking over Kirk's "#1 Conservative Daily Show" slot -Shapiro takes over TPUSA to help cover DailyWire's failure -Wife posts bizarre video using his ACTUAL CORPSE(???) to launch her influencer career
  11. mixed meat breakfast burrito, xmas style at El Chile Toreado is a do not miss on the food tour
  12. If King instead wrote, "Charlie Kirk implied gays should be stoned to death," there would have been no apology. Kirk left ambiguity in his words, likely on purpose. Just as he did when he said, "If I see a black pilot I'm going to be like boy I hope he's qualified." It's a racist statement even though in context he's blaming his words and internal monologue on supposed hiring quotas, because hiring quotas DO NOT EXIST.
  13. The woman being interviewed is a prof at Boston Univ
  14. Was it mere coincidence that the markings carefully made by the killer on each of the bullet casings are consistent with groyper theology? Who can say. If you're looking for legacy media to explain shitposting, you're going to be kept waiting for a long time. Meanwhile
  15. I seriously question the anonymous "friend's" ability to distinguish left versus right. The shooter told us in his own words written on the bullets.
  16. this seems like a good summary of the "manhunt"
  17. This is about aggy (and NY Post's) lack of reading comprehension
  18. I was just about to check the travel forum for the Valhalla thread.
