I DON'T THINK HE IS ASSHOLE IS A

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> Bomani: THANK YOU,
THANK YOU, WELCOME TO "GAME
THEORY"
THERE WAS ONE BIG STORY IN
SPORTS THIS WEEK:
>> BREAKING NEWS.
TOM BRADY RETIRES FOR GOOD,
CAPPING A HISTORIC 23YEAR
CAREER.
BRADY, WHO'S 45.
>> BOMANI: GET THAT OLD MAN OFF
THE SCREEN.
WE DID THIS LAST YEAR.
JUST SAY AN.
YOU ONLY GET ONE FUNERAL, POPS!
I BET YOU KNOW WHAT I REALLY
WANT TO TALK ABOUT:
>> FEBRUARY 12, 2023 WILL MARK A
NEW MILESTONE FOR THE NFL.
MAHOMES WILL BE MAKING HIS
THIRD SUPER BOWL APPEARANCE
AGAINST JALEN HURTS MAKING HIS
DEBUT ON THE CENTER STAGE.
THE FIRST EVER SUPER BOWL
FEATURING TWO BLACK STARTING
QUARTERBACKS.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> Bomani: EVEN WHITE PEOPLE
CLAPPING.
IF THAT AIN'T BLACK ENOUGH FOR
YOU, JALEN HURTS DAD NAME IS
AVARION
AND PAT MAHOMES SENIOR LOOKS
LIKE HE'S GOT SOME BROWN WEED
AND A PACK OF KOOLS IN HIS
INSIDE POCKET.
WHY DOES HE LOOK SO BROKE?
YES, WE HAVE TWO BLACK
QUARTERBACKS IN THE SUPER BOWL.
BUT WHAT TRULY MAKES IT
ONE, THAT'S JALEN HURTS.
MAHOMES MIGHT BE THE MOST
TALENTED QUARTERBACK WE'VE EVER
SEEN.
BUT BEING TWICE AS GOOD WHILE
PEOPLE TRY TO FIND SOME WHITE
DUDE BETTER THAN YOU?
THAT'S PLAYED OUT.
A TEAM DRAFTING A BLACK
QUARTERBACK WITH MORE
INTANGIBLES THAN PHYSICAL
SKILLS, RUNNING A TOP DRAFT PICK
OUT OF TOWN TO GIVE HIM THE JOB,
THEN SURROUNDING HIM WITH A
GREAT SUPPORTING CAST?
THAT'S BLACK HISTORY.
I AIN'T SEEN NOTHIN LIKE THAT
BEFORE IN MY BLACK ASS LIFE.
TO EVEN GET A CHANCE, SO MANY
BLACK QUARTERBACKS HAD TO BE
GOOD ENOUGH TO DO EVERYTHING.
CAM NEWTON GOT TO THE SUPER BOWL
WITH TED GINN AS HIS BEST
RECEIVER.
THAT'S LIKE SERENA WILLIAMS
REACHING THE MIXED DOUBLES
FINALS AT WIMBLEDON WITH RUEBEN
STUDDARD AS HER PARTNER.
BUT JALEN HURTS?
HE'S A GOOD PASSER, HE'S A GOOD
RUNNER, BUT HE'S NOTHING WE
HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE.
WE'VE JUST RARELY SEEN A BLACK
QB
LIKE HIM ON A TEAM LIKE THIS.
WHERE HE GETS TO BE LIKE A
SECOND COACH.
A FIELD GENERAL.
HE GETS TO LEAD THE TEAM BUT
ISN'T ASKED TO CARRY IT AND HE
HAS THE FULL SUPPORT OF THE
ORGANIZATION.
AND PHILLY FANS ACTUALLY LIKE
HIM.
THEY WOULD'VE TRADED DONOVAN
MCNABB FOR DREW BLEDSOE AND A
USED MOUTHGUARD THE WEEK BEFORE
THAT SUPER BOWL.
IT'S A PATH BLACK
QUARTERBACKS WOULD HAVE KILLED
FOR.
THIS IS WHAT WARREN MOON FROZE
HIS ASS OFF IN CANADA FOR.
AND IT'S A FAR CRY FROM WHAT THE
FIRST BLACK QUARTERBACK IN A
SUPER BOWL HAD TO DEAL WITH.
LET ME TELL YOU THE STORY OF
DOUG WILLIAMS.
FIVE YEARS BEFORE THAT
SUPER BOWL, WILLIAMS SAT OUT A
FULL SEASON BECAUSE HE WAS SO
INSULTED BY A CONTRACT OFFER
FROM THE TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS.
HE FINALLY
GOT BACK TO THE NFL WHERE HE
SAYS ANY TEAM COULD HAVE HAD
HIM, AND THE ONLY TEAM WAS
COACHED BY THE ONLY PERSON TO
COME TO SCOUT HIM AT GRAMBLING
JOE GIBBS, WHO THEN COACHED THE
WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM.
HE GOT THERE IS A BACK UP 86,
GOT THE JOB WITH TWO WEEKS LEFT
IN THE REGULAR SEASON, AND THEN
IN THE SUPER BOWL?
>> THAT MAN HAS EVERY REASON IN
THE WORLD TO BE SMILING RIGHT
NOW, FOUR TOUCHDOWN PASSES, LET
THEM ON FIVE DRIVES, 306 YARDS
IN A HALF.
>> Bomani: I'LL NEVER FORGET
THE HAPPINESS OF THAT DAY, I'LL
NEVER FORGET MY DADDY WHO TO
THIS DAY IS STILL MAD THAT THE
PITTSBURGH STEELERS BENCHED JOE
GILLIAM FOR TERRY BRADSHAW.
YOUR DADDY TOO?
HE WAS NEVER, EVER HAPPIER TO
SEE THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS
ARGUABLY THE MOST RACIST
,
FRANCHISE IN AMERICA, WHICH IS A
REALLY HIGH BAR HE WAS THRILLED
TO SEE THEM WIN THAT GAME.
BLACK FOLKS HADN'T BEEN THAT
HAPPY SINCE BULL CONNOR DIED.
CUZ IT WASN'T ABOUT DOUG.
IT WAS ABOUT EVERY ARTIFICIAL
BARRIER SET UP SO BLACK DUDES
COULDN'T EVEN TRY TO PLAY THE
POSITION IN THE NFL.
ALL THOSE BLACK DUDES WITH GREAT
ARMS, WHO BECAME RECEIVERS AND
SAFETIES BECAUSE QUARTERBACKING
WASN'T FOR THEM.
AND THEN YOU LOOK AT A DUDE LIKE
JALEN HURTS.
WHO'S GETTING THIS CHANCE, WITH
THAT ROSTER.
I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE THAT DA
DAY.
I DIDN'T THINK I'D GET TO SEE
THAT DAY AGAIN.
THERE WAS SOMETHING SIMILAR TEN
YEARS AGO.
THAT YEAR, THE 49ers HAD A
YOUNG BLACK QUARTERBACKS.
LIKE HURTS, HIS TEAM WAS SO
LOADED THAT HE DIDN'T HAVE TO DO
EVERYTHING.
BUT IF THEY NEEDED IT, HE COULD.
AND THAT MAN'S NAME IS COLIN
KAEPERNICK.
I WONDER WHO HE PLAYS FOR NOW.
ANYWAY, HERE'S WHY I MENTIONED
COLIN KAEPERNICK.
ALL THAT PROGRESS WITH JALEN
HURTS?
THAT AIN'T OURS.
IT'S NOT LIKE WE WEREN'T GOOD
ENOUGH TO DO IT IN THE FIRST
PLACE.
PEOPLE WOULDN'T GIVE US THE
CHANCE.
AND SOMETIMES, THAT CHANCE CAN
GET TAKEN AWAY.
ABOUT HOW GOOD THE PLAYER IS.
IT'S HOW MUCH HIS BOSSES WANT
HIM TO SUCCEED.
PROGRESS!
IT'S STILL, IN PROGRESS.
BUT I'M GONNA LOVE THE SUPER
BOWL!
IF WE GET TWO BLACK STARTERS
AGAIN NEXT YEAR, WE'RE GONNA
START CALLING IT THE SUPER BOWL
CLASSIC!
LET'S GET THE BATTLE OF THE
BANDS!
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
AND NOW WE TURN OUR ATTENTION TO
ANOTHER WILDLY POPULAR SPORT: JV
GIRLS BASKETBALL IN PORTSMOUTH,
VIRGINIA.
>> WELL, THE SEASON
UNEXPECTEDLY ENDED EARLY FOR A
HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS JV BASKETBALL
TEAM IN VIRGINIA.
>> ONE OF ITS ADULT COACHES WAS
CAUGHT PLAYING IN A GAME
PRETENDING TO BE A MEMBER OF THE
TEAM.
>> HERE'S VIDEO FROM THAT GAME.
NUMBER ONE RIGHT THERE WHO JUST
CAME UP WITH A BLOCKED SHOT,
WE'RE TOLD THAT IS ARLYSHA
BOYKINS.
ARLYSHA'S APPARENTLY A 23YEAR
OLD YOUNG WOMAN GOING UP AGAINST
14 AND 15 YEAR OLD GIRLS.
WE HAVE CONFIRMED THAT BOYKINS
IS NO LONGER AN EMPLOYEE OF
PORTSMOUTH PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
>> Bomani: AND SHE WOULD HAVE
GOTTEN AWAY WITH IT TOO, IF IT
WEREN'T FOR HER LOOKING WAY
OLDER AND PLAYING WAY BETTER
THAN EVERYONE ELSE.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
IF YOU'RE A PLAYER ON THAT TEAM
WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU SEE
THIS HAPPEN?
IT'S LIKE YOUR TEACHER IS DOING
A GROUP PROJECT FOR YOU -- WHICH
ACTUALLY SOUNDS PRETTY COOL, BUT
THE TEAM IS ALL RIGHT WITH THIS.
A WIN IS A WIN.
I DON'T WANT TO ASSUME TOO MUCH
ABOUT HER, I DON'T KNOW HER BUT
I KNOW THIS, SHE HAS NEVER LET A
KID WIN AT NOTHING EVER BEFORE
IN HER LIFE.
SHE WAS OUT THERE TALKING TO
THEM, FLEXING -- LAST TIME SHE
PLAYED CHECKERS SHE SCREAMED TO
KING ME, BITCH AND HER
8-YEAR-OLD COUSIN RAN UP THE
ROOM CRYING.
BE FAIR TO THAT LADY COME AFTER
WORKING WITH A BUNCH OF
TEENAGERS EVERY DAY,
I BET IT
FELT GOOOOOOD TO BEAST THOSE
LITTLE GIRLS.
BUT I HOPE IT FELT GREAT.
BECAUSE THAT IS AN ALL TIME DUMB
WAY TO LOSE YOUR JOB.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
OUR GUEST THIS
WEEK IS ONE OF THE MOST
INFLUENTIAL SPORTS COMMENTATORS
IN THE COUNTRY, THE HOST OF
FIRST TAKE ON ESPN, AND NOW THE
AUTHOR OF A MEMOIR, STRAIGHT
SHOOTER.
HE MAY GENUINELY BELIEVE HE WON
EVERY ON CAMERA ARGUMENT HE HAD
WITH SKIP BAYLESS, JUST LIKE ME.
LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, STEPHEN A.
SMITH!
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> PROUD OF YOU, BROTHER.
I LIKE THIS.
>> Bomani: YOU GOT THE BOOK
COMING OUT, WHEN IN YOUR LIFE
DID YOU REALIZE I'VE LIVED A
LIFE YOU CAN WRITE A BOOK ABOUT?
>> I WILL TELL YOU ABOUT TWO
YEARS AGO, BEFORE THEN I DIDN'T
FEEL THAT WAY, I JUST PUT MY
HEAD DOWN AND GRIND IT IN DID
WHAT I HAD TO DO.
BUT WHEN YOU GOT THE NUMBER ONE
TREND MORNING SHOW AND SPORTS
FOR LIKE 11 YEARS NOW AND YOU
ACCOMPLISHED WHAT I ACCOMPLISHED
IF YOU HAVE THE OPINIONS THAT
I'VE HAD AND TALK THAT SMACK
THAT I'VE TALKED, EVENTUALLY
SOMEONE IS GOING TO LOOK AT YOU
AND WONDER ABOUT YOU, HOW DID
YOU COME TO THINK LIKE THIS,
WHAT IS YOUR PERSPECTIVE, WHAT
GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO HAVE THIS
KIND OF OPINION?
MY ATTITUDE IS LET ME DO THAT IN
THE BOOK ANOTHER BOOK IS A
BEST SELLER.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> Bomani: IT KIND OF SOUNDS
LIKE YOU REALIZED YOUR LIFE WAS
A BOOK WHEN SOMEBODY HAD A BOOK
ADVANCE --
>> THAT DEFINITELY ENTERED INTO
IT BECAUSE I AIN'T DOING IT FOR
FREE, YOU GOT THAT RIGHT, THE
ADVANCE WAS NICE.
>> Bomani: ONE THING I'VE
WONDERED ABOUT YOU AND NEVER HAD
A CHANCE TO ASK, WHY DO YOU DO
THE SHOW WITH SEAN HANNITY?
>> SEAN HANNITY AND I MET EACH
OTHER ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO, SEAN
INCREDIBLE SUPPORTER OF MINE.
OUR POLITICS DO NOT ALIGN BUT
I'M ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE COME I
LOOK AT THIS COUNTRY THAT WE ARE
LIVING IN A TWO PARTY SYSTEM AND
YOU HAVE PEOPLE ON THE FRINGES
ALL OVER THE PLACE COME ON THE
LEFT AND THE RIGHT AND I DON'T
LIKE A LOT OF THINGS ON BOTH
SIDES.
I STATE WHAT I STATE, YOU FEEL
THE WAY THAT YOU FEEL IF YOU GO
ON FROM THERE BECAUSE THE
REALITY OF THE SITUATION IS WE
GOT PEOPLE IN OUR FAMILIES, WE
GOT PEOPLE IN OUR CIRCLE, WE GOT
PEOPLE THAT ARE FRIENDS AND
LOVED ONES COME WE DON'T
NECESSARILY AGREE WITH THEIR
POLITICS, BUT WE STILL GET ALONG
WITH THEM BECAUSE OFF THOSE
ISSUES THEY ARE COOL PEOPLE TO
TALK TO.
WITH SOMEBODY LIKE SEAN HANNITY,
HE KNOWS DAMN WELL AT LEAST 70%
OF THE TIME I DON'T VIBE WITH
WHAT HE'S SAYING AT ALL BUT
THERE IS 30% OF THE TIME ME
BEING A BLACK MAN, ME KNOWING
THAT EVEN THOUGH WE ALWAYS VOTED
DEMOCRAT WE HAD A LOT OF
CONSERVATIVE VIEWS.
SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE SET
ON THE RIGHT IS SOMETHING THE
BLACK FAMILY CAN GRAVITATE TO
AND HAS GRAVITATED TO WHETHER WE
ARE WILLING TO ADMIT IT OR NOT.
I'M WISE ENOUGH TO RECOGNIZE
THAT AND AS LONG AS I HAVE THE
KIND OF RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU OR
I CAN TELL YOU WHAT YOU'RE ON
ABOUT AND WHY AND YOU'RE WILLING
TO LISTEN, I HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY
TO PROVOKE CHANGE.
WHY CLOSE THAT DOOR OF
OPPORTUNITY WHEN YOU CAN LEAVE
IT OPEN?
NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO YOU ARE
GOING TO RUN ACROSS PEOPLE THAT
THINK DIFFERENTLY FROM YOU.
>> Bomani: ON ANOTHER DAY WE
WILL TALK ABOUT THAT OTHER 30
BUT I HAVE TO ASK YOU ABOUT THE
WORLD, WHAT HAPPENED AT MEMPHIS
SPILLED OVER INTO SPORTS.
WHEN THESE THINGS HAPPEN IN THE
WORLD THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO COME
TO US EVEN THOUGH SPORTS IS
TYPICALLY WHAT WE DO.
FOR YOU, WHAT DOES THAT
RESPONSIBILITY FEEL LIKE?
>> IT'S IMMENSE BUT IS SOMETHING
WE SIGN UP FOR.
I DON'T GET TO RUN FROM IT,
NEITHER DO YOU AND NOT IT IS ANY
BLACK PERSON PICK YOU THINK
ABOUT TYREE NICHOLS, WOULD
HAPPEN HIM IN MEMPHIS FIVE BLACK
POLICE OFFICERS BEAT HIM TO
DEATH, THERE'S NO OTHER WAY TO
SLICE IT.
THEY DIDN'T KNOW THE CAMERA
ACROSS THE STREET WAS WATCHING
HIM WHEN THEY WERE SCREAMING FOR
HIM TO PUT HIS HANDS BEHIND HIS
BACK, THEY ALREADY HAD HIM
RESTRAINED AND SAT ON TOP OF
THEM, YOU HAD ANOTHER OFFICER
COME OUT OF NOWHERE AND ASK LIKE
HE WAS KICKING A FIELD GOAL AND
KICK THEM IN THE FACE TWICE, YOU
HAD ANOTHER OFFICER JUMP ON HIM
AND HIT HIM WITH A BATON AT
LEAST TWICE, STOOD HIM UP AND
PUNCHED HIM IN THE FACE THREE
TIMES.
YOU LITERALLY SEE THOSE DETAILS,
I WATCHED ALL 66 MINUTES, IT'S
APPALLING.
YOU LOOK AT IT IN THAT RESPECT
AND RECOGNIZE THE FACT EVEN THAT
SPECIFIC INCIDENT IS NOT
INDICATIVE OF WHAT HAPPENS ALL
THE TIME YOU SEE ON INORDINATE
AMOUNT OF UNARMED YOUNG BLACK
MEN GET SHOT AND KILLED OR BEAT
AND KILLED, IT'S DEFINITELY
SOMETHING THAT RESONATES AND YOU
CAN'T BE SOMEBODY THAT'S A BLACK
AND IGNORE THAT AND IGNORE YOUR
OBLIGATION IT AND YOUR COMMUNITY
AND YOUR PEOPLE WHEN IT COMES TO
GIVING A VOICE TO ISSUES LIKE
THAT, WE DON'T HAVE TO AGREE ON
EVERYTHING BUT I'LL BE DAMNED IF
WE DON'T AGREE ON SOMETHING THAT
THAT'S HEINOUS IN THAT WRONG, WE
HAVE AN OBLIGATION OF STANDING
UP NO MATTER WHAT GENRE.
YOU'VE GOT TO CALL ATTENTION TO
THAT TO MAKE SURE WE DO
EVERYTHING WE CAN TO PUT A STOP
TO IT.
>> Bomani: AND THAT'S THE MAN,
STEPHEN A. SMITH.
"STRAIGHT SHOOTER" IS IN STORES,
THANK YOU SO MUCH NOW.
WE ARE GOING TO PLAY A GAME
CALLED GIVE A PUNCH, TAKE A
PUNCH.
YOU GET TO PUNCH THIS PERSON BUT
YOU THEN HAVE TO LET THAT PERSON
PUNCH YOU.
ELON MUSK.
>> 100%, I WILL ROCK HIM.
HE WILL DO THE MATHEMATICS IN
HIS HEAD -- TECHNICALLY I SHOULD
HIT HIM HERE AND HE WILL ROCK
HIM MEAT, MAY BE.
>> Bomani: GIVE A PUNCH, TAKE
A PUNCH WITH KANYE.
>> HEAD BUTTS TWO >> Bomani:
YOU PLAY DIRTY.
>> YOU KNOW WHEN SOMEONE NEEDS
IT HE DON'T WANT TO HURT THEM
TOO MUCH BUT IT WOULD HELP THEM.
>> Bomani: I DON'T LISTEN TO
THAT MUCH OF HER MUSIC BUT IT
SOUNDS LIKE SHE'S SUFFERING A
LOT OF PAIN AND TRAUMA.
RHOWHAT ABOUT JAKE PAUL?
>> I'M NOT TRYING TO BECOME A
MEAN.
>> DO YOU THINK HE NEEDS TO GET
HIS ASS KICKED?
YOU THINK HE NEEDS TO GET HIS
ASS KICKED?
>> YOU'RE SCARED OF LOSING TO
HIM?
>> THE LOSING HURTS.
>> THE LOSING TO A WHITE DUDE, I
FEEL LIKE THAT PART IS IMPLICIT
IN THIS.
>> I WILL JUST BE WALKING AND A
BLACK OLD MAN WILL BE LIKE FOR
REAL?
>> YOU KNOW ALL OF HIS MATCHES
ARE FAKE, HE'S NEVER WON A REAL
FIGHT.
>> THIS SOUNDS LIKE A BARBERSHOP
CONSPIRACY.
>> Bomani: LET'S JUMP IN A
TIME MACHINE, IT'S LATE 2020 AND
I WANTED TO WATCH A GOOD
OLD-FASHIONED BOXING MATCH.
MIKE TYSON VERSUS ROY JONES JR.
THE THOUGHT OF THEM FIGHTING
EACH OTHER MADE ME REALLY SAD,
THEN I SAW SOMETHING ON THE
UNDERCARD, MORE SPECIFICALLY
SOMEONE ON THE UNDERCARD.
NATE ROBINSON VERSUS THIS GUY.
>>
>> WELL YOU MAY NOT KNOW WHO HE
IS, BUT YOUR KIDS PROBABLY DO.
>> HE'S THE FAST DRIVING, PRANK
PULLING, LARGER THAN LIFE SOCIAL
MEDIA STAR WITH A YOUNG FAN BASE
IN THE MILLIONS.
>> JAKE PAUL, A DISNEY CHANNEL
ACTOR TURNED SOCIAL MEDIA STAR
WHO HAD NEVER FOUGHT BEFORE
JUMPING INTO PRIZEFIGHTING.
>> Bomani: AND MAN, THIS MATCHUP
GOT ME EXCITED!
NATE ROBINSON, ARGUABLY THE BEST
MINIATURE DUNKER OF ALL TIME,
WHO LOVES TO FIGHT?
WAS ABOUT TO BEAT DOWN THIS
RANDOM ASS YOUTUBER WHO LOOKS
LIKE A ROIDED UP MEMBER OF THE
VON TRAPP FAMILY.
AND THEN, THIS HAPPENED:
>> OH THERE'S A FEINT FROM JAKE.
>> OH MY GOD!
LORD HAVE MERCY!
>> Bomani: AND I TOOK THAT
PERSONALLY!
THE LAST THING I WANTED TO SEE
AFTER THE GEORGE FLOYD UPRISING
THE LAST THING I EVER WANT TO
SEE IS A WHITE DUDE BEATING UP A
BLACK MAN!
WHITE DUDES BEING SCARED OF US
IS THE ONLY PART OF RACISM THAT
KEEPS US SAFE!
IF WHITE KIDS THINK THEY CAN
GROW UP AND BE LIKE JAKE PAUL,
EVERY CITY IS GONNA TURN INTO
BOSTON!
AND THEN.
IT HAPPENED AGAIN:
>>
PAUL SCORED A BRUTAL KNOCKOUT IN
HIS REMATCH AGAINST FORMER UFC
CHAMPION TYRON WOODLEY.
>> Bomani: AND AGAIN:
>> MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVE AND
SILVA AND THIS IS WHY-OH!
SILVA KNOCKED DOWN BY PAUL!
>> Bomani: ONCE YOU KNOCK OUT
THREE BLACK DUDES, YOU'RE
OFFICIALLY A MENACE TO THE
CULTURE.
SO I HAD TO DO SOME RESEARCH ON
THIS JAKE PAUL, THE YOUTUBER
TURNED SEMIDECENT BOXER?
HE'S NOW SET TO FIGHT WHAT MAY
BE HIS FIRST REAL BOXER:
TOMMY THEORY, THE HALF OTHER
HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF TYSON
FURY, A REALITY TELEVISION GUY
AND HOPEFULLY THE MAN WHO KNOCKS
JAKE PAUL OUT BECAUSE JAKE PAUL
MUST BE STOPPED.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
LET'S BE REAL: THE BOXING WORLD
DOESN'T NEED JAKE PAUL.
THE SPORT IS DOING JUST FINE
WITHOUT HIM.
WITH A MARKET PROJECTED TO BE
WORTH $452 MILLION DOLLARS THIS
YEAR.
IT'S JAKE PAUL WHO NEEDS THE
BOXING WORLD.
CUZ IT SEEMS LIKE HIS
ENTIRE BOXING CAREER IS AN
ATTEMPT TO LEGITIMIZE HIMSELF IN
SPORTS AND TRANSITION AWAY FROM
A SOCIAL MEDIA AND BUSINESS
EMPIRE BUILT PRIMARILY ON
HUSTLE.
AND IF THERE'S ONE THING JAKE
PAUL KNOWS AS A YOUTUBE STAR?
IT'S HUSTLE.
>> REP YOUR FLIPPING MERCH, SON.
20% OFF, 30% OFF, 40% OFF,
THERE'S SO MANY DEALS.
THE VIDEO IS SUPPOSED TO BE OVER
BUT IF YOU ADD TIME TO YOUR
VIDEO ON YOUTUBE AND MAKE IT
MORE THAN 10 MINUTES, YOU MAKE
MORE MONEY.
I'M PATIENT WITH THIS GAME.
I GET PAID GOOD AS FUCK.
YOU KNOW, I HAVE MY TEAM AT
MORGAN STANLEY, YOU KNOW, I PUT
A BIG AMOUNT OF MONEY WITH THEM.
>> Bomani: THAT VIDEO WILL BE IN
THE OPENING CREDITS OF "THE BIG
SHORT 2: MO' BIGGER, MO'
SHORTER."
AND DESPITE THE WAY YOU THINK OF
JAKE PAUL AS SOCIAL MEDIA STAR.
HIS PUSH INTO THE BOXING WORLD
IS ACTUALLY KIND OF WORKING.
HE'S LIKE GEN Z'S DONALD TRUMP.
HE'S LEVERAGING A SOCIAL MEDIA
AND REALITY TV CAREER INTO
ACTUAL RELEVANCY AND STAYING
POWER.
IN 2021, JAKE PAUL MADE A
REPORTED FORTY MILLION DOLLARS
FROM HIS FIGHTS ALONE.
HAVING NEVER FACED A LEGITIMATE
BOXER.
IN AUGUST OF THAT SAME YEAR,
PAUL'S FIGHT AGAINST BEN ASKREN
SOLD AS MANY AS 1.5 MILLION PAY
PER VIEWS.
HIS POPULARITY IN THE RING AND
SUCCESS AS A FIGHT PROMOTER HAS
ALSO TRANSLATED INTO A
MULTIMILLION DOLLAR DEAL WITH
SHOWTIME.
AND HE'S EVEN USING THIS
NEWFOUND BOXING "LEGITIMACY" TO
ADVOCATE FOR SOCIAL PROGRESS
WITHIN THE FIGHTING COMMUNITY.
>> I JUST IDENTIFIED A BUNCH OF
DIFFERENT WAYS THAT I THINK THE
SPORT NEEDED TO IMPROVE AND ONE
OF THOSE THINGS WAS WOMEN'S
BOXING.
THESE WOMEN ARE AWESOME, THEY
ARE LEGIT, THEY ARE SAVAGES.
THEY'VE BEEN SO UNDERPAID AND
MISTREATED.
IT'S DOPE TO JUST GIVE THESE
LADIES THE PLATFORM THAT THEY
DESERVE AND GET THEM THE BIG
PAYDAY THAT THEY DESERVE.
>> Bomani: THAT'S SOME REAL "SAY
BABY, LET ME BE YOUR MANAGER"
ENERGY.
WHILE HIS PROMOTION OF FEMALE
FIGHTERS IS UNDENIABLY POSITIVE,
HIS BIGGEST LABOR PROJECT WITHIN
THE FIGHT COMMUNITY HAS MORE TO
DO WITH MIXED MARTIAL ARTS.
WHERE HIS WHITE WHALE IS A
LITERAL WHITE WHALE: DANA WHITE,
THE ANTIUNION HEAD OF THE UFC.
BUT I'LL LET JAKE DESCRIBE WHAT
HE'S DOING TO PISS OFF DANA.
>> MY ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO CREATE
A FIGHTERS UNION.
THERE NEEDS TO BE CHANGE.
THERE'S NO FIGHTERS UNION.
I'M TRYING TO GET EVERYONE ON MY
TEAM TO SLOWLY BUILD AN ARMY TO
CREATE FIGHTERS UNION.
I WANT TO MAKE A FIGHTERS UNION,
UM, SO MAN, DANA WHITE CAN SUCK
THIS DICK.
>> Bomani: YOU CAN'T SPELL
ORGANIZED WITHOUT ORGAN.
[LAUGHTER]
ALL OF THESE ISSUES THAT JAKE
PAUL IS RAISING IN THE FIGHT
COMMUNITY ARE REAL PROBLEMS THAT
SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.
ESPECIALLY WHEN IT
COMES TO DANA WHITE AND FAIR
LABOR PRACTICES.
DANA GIVES HIS FIGHTERS DEALS SO
EXPLOITATIVE, THEY MAKE DEATH
ROW CONTRACTS SEEM LIKE A GYM
MEMBERSHIP.
DANA HAS MADE IT CLEAR THAT HIS
ANTI-UNIONIZATION.
WHAT IS JAKE PAUL GOING TO DO,
TAKE ON THE UFC HIMSELF?
IS HE REALLY GOING TO CREATE A
FIGHTERS UNION?
I DON'T KNOW!
IS LAURYN HILL GOING TO SHOW UP
TO HER OWN CONCERT ON TIME?
I DON'T KNOW!
BUT THESE THINGS DO SEEM
INCREDIBLY UNLIKELY.
BECAUSE JAKE PAUL
DOESN'T NEED TO CREATE A
FIGHTERS UNION.
THE CONTROVERSY HE GENERATES
TALKING ABOUT ALL THIS, AND THE
MEDIA COVERAGE AROUND THE
COMMENTS, IS AS GOOD FOR JAKE
PAUL AS ANYTHING HE COULD
ACTUALLY DO HIMSELF.
AND THIS IS WHERE THE HUSTLE
BEGINS.
BECAUSE WHETHER PEOPLE ONLINE
HATE OR LOVE JAKE PAUL, HE STILL
WINS.
>> THE AUDIENCE YOU'VE BROUGHT
TO BOXING, ARE SOME OF THEM
TUNING IN BECAUSE THEY WANT TO
SEE JAKE PAUL'S FACE GET PUNCHED
IN?
>> I'D SAY 50% OF PEOPLE ARE
HATE WATCHING.
>> DOES THAT BOTHER YOU?
OR DOES IT MOTIVATE YOU?
OR NEITHER?
>> IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME AT ALL.
>> IT PLAYS INTO YOUR GAME?
>> IT PLAYS INTO MY BANK
ACCOUNT.
>> Bomani: NOW A LOT OF PEOPLE
MIGHT WANT TO PUNCH JAKE PAUL IN
THE FACE, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF
PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN EARNEST
FANS OF HIS.
PEOPLE WHO HAVE WANTED TO SEE
JAKE PAUL SUCCEED.
PEOPLE WHO HAVE LOOKED UP TO
HIM.
AND JAKE PAUL HAS ALWAYS KNOWN
EXACTLY WHO THEY ARE.
>> WHO IS YOUR AUDIENCE?
WHO DO YOU MAKE YOUR VIDEOS FOR?
>> YEAH MY AUDIENCE IS
DEFINITELY YOUNGER.
I HAVE LIKE 10 DIFFERENT
DEMOGRAPHICS.
THERE ARE THE 8 YEAR OLDS WHO
ARE LIKE JAKE!
THEN THERE ARE THE TEENAGERS WHO
ARE LIKE OH MY GOD JAKE PAUL!
>> JAKE WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO
YOU?
>> OH BRO, THIS IS WHO I DO IT
FOR.
I DO IT FOR THE KIDS, BRO.
WHAT I'M DOING FOR THE SPORT OF
BOXING, THE UNIVERSE WANTS IT TO
CONTINUE BECAUSE THE SPORT NEEDS
IT AND I THINK THE YOUTH AND THE
NEXT GENERATION OF KIDS NEED
THIS.
>> Bomani: IF THERE'S ANYONE WHO
KNOW'S WHAT KIDS NEED, IT'S A
MAN CHILD.
BUT THE YOUTH HAVE HISTORICALLY,
LOVED JAKE PAUL.
HE BUILT HIS SUCCESS OFF OF THAT
ATTENTION.
AND THAT AUDIENCE IS NOW GROWING
UP.
WHICH IS WHERE THIS GETS
TROUBLING.
BECAUSE HE IS PARLAYING HIS
NEWFOUND SPORTS LEGITIMACY INTO
OTHER BUSINESS VENTURES THAT
MIGHT BE INCREDIBLY ATTRACTIVE
TO HIS NOW OLDER AUDIENCE.
SPECIFICALLY, HIS NEW SPORTS
MEDIA COMPANY CALLED "BETR."
THEY HOST ESPNSTYLE SPORTS
COMMENTARY SHOWS, THEY PUT OUT
MEMES, THEY EVEN GOT STEPHEN A.
SMITH TO TALK ABOUT HIS LOVE
LIFE
>> DO YOU,
STEPHEN A., HIS LOVE LIFE.
EAT ASS?
>> OH SHIT.
>> NO.
NEVER.
I DON'T HAVE TO.
> NEVER?
HAVE YOU GOTTEN YOUR ASS EATEN?
>> THAT'S PRIVATE.
>> Bomani: AND WHO SAID
HARDHITTING JOURNALISM IS DEAD?
THING IS BETR IS NOT JUST A
SPORTS MEDIA COMPANY.
THEY'VE RAISED OVER FIFTY
MILLION DOLLARS IN FINANCING
FROM INVESTORS.
AND THE PRIMARY REASON THEY'VE
RECEIVED SO MUCH MONEY IS
PROBABLY THE OTHER PART OF THEIR
BUSINESS.
ONE THAT'S A LITTLE LESS
WHOLESOME
AND POTENTIALY A LOOOOT MORE
LUCRATIVE.
>> THE SECOND BRANCH OF BETR'S
SPORTS BETTING AND ONLINE
CASINO.
I WAS NEVER A BIG SPORTS BETTER
UNTIL I MET MY COFOUNDER
JOEY LEVY WHO INTRODUCED ME TO
MICROBETTING.
OUR APP ALLOWS YOU TO
BET ON EVERY SINGLE PLAY, SCORE,
DRIVE AND PLAYER IN.
REAL.
TIME.
>> Bomani: JAKE PAUL LOOKS
LIKE HE'S TRAPPED IN A ROOM
WAITING ON LIAM NEESON TO COME
SAVE HIM.
BUT THE IMPORTANT PIECE IS THAT
HIS GAMBLING COMPANY SPECIALIZES
IN ONE AREA, MICRO BETTING.
LIKE JAKE SAID, YOU CAN BET ON
LITERALLY EVERY SECOND OF A
SPORTING EVENT.
WANT TO BET ON WHICH OUTFIT BEN
SIMMONS WILL WEAR ON THE BENCH
TONIGHT?
YOU CAN DO THAT.
WANT TO BET ON WHICH OUTFIT BEN
SIMMONS WILL CHANGE INTO FOR THE
SECOND QUARTER?
YOU CAN DO THAT TOO.
AND SOME EXPERTS HAVE SAID THAT
THIS IS POTENTIALLY A MORE
ADDICTIVE FORM OF SPORTS
GAMBLING THAN THE TRADITIONAL
FORM THAT RELIES ON WINS AND
LOSSES IN GAMES.
MICROBETTING IS BASICALLY THE
LOOSIES OF SPORTS GAMBLING: YOU
MAY ONLY WANT ONE CIGARETTE WHEN
YOU'RE DRUNK, BUT THE NEXT THING
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE BOOKING FLIGHTS
JUST TO BUY DUTYFREE CARTONS OF
NEWPORTS.
AND WITH THE FORMATION OF BETR,
JAKE PAUL IS SERVING UP THIS
ADDICTIVE FORM OF GAMBLING TO
HIS FAN BASE.
A LOT OF WHICH HAVE FOLLOWED HIM
LOYALLY SINCE THEY WERE YOUNG.
AND ARE NOW.
OLD ENOUGH TO GAMBLE!
>> MY GENERATION, I GUESS OUR
GENERATION, WE ARE ROUGHLY THE
SAME AGE -- THEY DON'T REALLY
CARE ABOUT SPORTS BETTING
BECAUSE IT'S SO HARD TO GET
INVOLVED IN.
NOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO
BE DOING IS TAKING OVER THE
YOUNGER GENERATION OF SPORTS
FANS AND INTRODUCING THEM TO A
PRODUCT THAT'S EASIER TO
UNDERSTAND.
IT'S SORT OF THE
TIKTOKIFICATION OF SPORTS
>> Bomani: YET TIKTOK
IFICATION IS A SCARY PHRASE TO
HEAR ANY TIME.
BUT TIKTOKIFYING GAMBLING IS
DOWNRIGHT FRIGHTENING.
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CONSIDER
THAT TIK TOK AND GAMBLING ARE
BOTH HYPER ADDICTIVE.
THAT'S LIKE
CRACKIFYING CANDY.
WE'VE GOT TO BE CLEAR, THE MAJOR
SPORTS BOOKS LIKE VANDAL AND
DRAFT KINGS HAVE GOTTEN INTO
SOME FORM OF MICRO BETTING.
MANY EVEN USE SOFTWARE FROM
THE SAME COMPANY THAT JAKE PAUL
AND BETR ARE USING.
BUT THE MAJOR DIFFERENCE, AND
THE MOST TROUBLING DIFFERENCE,
IS THAT NEITHER OF THESE
COMPANIES HAS A COFOUNDER WHO IS
YOUNG, MADE HIS NAME ONLINE, AND
HAS CULTIVATED A YOUNG AUDIENCE.
AND NOW SOME OF THAT AUDIENCE
IS OLD ENOUGH TO LEGALLY GET
INTO SOME MORE ADDICTING STUFF.
IT'S LIKE IF PORNHUB PREMIUM
OFFERED A DISCOUNTED
SUBSCRIPTION ON YOUR 18TH
BIRTHDAY.
PROMO CODE GOLDMAN SACHS SEX.
JAKE PAUL IS WILLING TO WALK
PEOPLE, YOUNG PEOPLE, UP TO WHAT
MIGHT BE AN EXTREMELY ADDICTING
FORM OF GAMBLING.
KNOWING THAT THE HOUSE ALWAYS
WINS.
CUZ AT THE END OF THE DAY: A
BOOKIE IS A BOOKIE IS A BOOKIE.
EVEN IF YOU DRESS IT UP WITH A
FLASHY APP, INSTAGRAM CLOUT, AND
A POORLY PLACED KARMA TATTOO.
JAKE PAUL'S STILL JUST A BOOKIE.
BUT MOST BOOKIES DON'T ALSO
HAPPEN TO BE MASSIVELY
INFLUENTIAL FORMER DISNEY STARS.
WHO ARE ALSO BOXERS.
AND THAT'S WHY JAKE PAUL HAS TO
BE STOPPED.
LET ME TELL YOU THE TRUTH.
I'M 42 YEARS OLD, I DIDN'T WANT
TO TALK TO THIS DUDE.
BUT LIKE IT OR NOT, HE'S
LEGITIMATE NOW.
SO I TRIED TO SIT DOWN AND HAVE
A LEGITIMATE CONVERSATION WITH
HIM ABOUT BOXING AND BUSINESS.
TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT WHERE
THIS JOURNEY GOES FROM HERE.
>> WHAT'S UP?
>> Bomani: I APPRECIATE YOU
TAKING THE TIME AND IF YOU ARE
READY WE CAN GET STARTED ON
THIS.
>> LET'S RUN IT.
>> Bomani: YOU'RE SCHEDULED TO
FIGHT TOMMY THEORY.
THIS IS THE FIRST FIGHT AGAINST
A REAL BOXER, HOW DO YOU FEEL
ABOUT THAT?
>> I'M EXCITED, ESPECIALLY
BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF CRITICS
OUT THERE SAYING HE HASN'T
FOUGHT A PROFESSIONAL FIGHTER
AND I FEEL BAD FOR THOSE PEOPLE
BECAUSE THEY ARE IDIOTS.
TO ME IT'S ALL ABOUT MAKING A
FIGHT WITH SOMEONE WHO WAS MY
AGE.
>> Bomani: I WANT TO SEE YOU
FIGHT SOMEBODY YOUR AGE TOO BUT
AT THE SAME TIME HE DIDN'T HAVE
A PROBLEM FIGHTING OLD MMA
FIGHTERS LIKE ANDERSON SILVA IS
OLD ENOUGH TO BE MY DADDY AND
YOU FOUGHT HIM.
>> BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE
WHO WANTED TO GET INTO THE RING.
I'M DOING THIS TO CREATE HISTORY
AND CREATE BIG FIGHTS.
>> Bomani: PEOPLE LIKE THE
SEAT BACK AND FORTH YOU TALK
ABOUT KNOCKING THESE DUDES
PRETTY QUICK, RIGHT?
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR PEOPLE WHO
CAN PUT YOU IN A POSITION TO GET
THAT KNOCK OUT OR ARE LOOKING
FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN GIVE A GOOD
FIGHT.
>> I'M ALWAYS LOOKING FOR PEOPLE
WHO CAN GIVE A GOOD FIGHT, IT
SOUNDS LIKE YOU DON'T REALLY
KNOW ABOUT BOXING THE ODDS OR WY
OPPONENTS?
>> Bomani: TELL ME MORE.
>> I CAN EDUCATE YOU A LITTLE
BIT.
I'M FACING WORLD CHAMPIONS IN
THEIR RESPECTIVE SPORT.
>> Bomani: YOU FOUGHT A
BASKETBALL PLAYER.
>> A WHILE AGO, THREE YEARS AGO
AND I WAS THE UNDERDOG GOING
INTO IT.
EVERYONE THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO
GET KILLED.
>> Bomani: I DID THINK, I
THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO BEAT YOU
UP.
>> WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
>> Bomani: IT WASN'T A GOOD
FIGHT, YOU WON BUT THAT DOESN'T
MEAN THE FIGHT WAS GOOD TO.
>> IT WAS A GOOD MATCHUP.
I HAVE A BUSINESS TO RUN HERE.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT'S A
SHOW BUSINESS.
SO YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE SHOW.
>> Bomani: AT THIS POINT YOU
MAY BE THINKING THINGS ARE GOING
PRETTY WELL.
I THOUGHT SO TOO.
SO I ASKED HIM A FEW MORE
QUESTIONS.
LET ME ASK YOU QUESTIONS ABOUT
BUSINESS, YOU STARTED A NEW
BUSINESS CALLED A BETR, CAN YOU
TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THAT?
>> IT'S THE FUTURE OF SPORTS
MEDIA PLATFORM AND IT'S ALSO A
SPORTS BETTING PLATFORM, MAINLY
FOCUSED ON MICRO BETTING.
>> Bomani: WHAT IS MICRO
BETTING, CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT TO
ME LIKE I'M FIVE?
>> IT'S AS SIMPLE AS BEING ABLE
TO BET LIVE DURING THE GAME
THERE KILLED THE BEST EXAMPLE IS
BETTING WHETHER OR NOT SOMETHING
IS GOING TO BE A RUN OR A PASS
IN THE NFL.
IT ENHANCES THE GAMING
EXPERIENCE IT MAKES IT MORE FUN
TO WATCH.
>> Bomani: DO YOU WORRY
EXPERTS SAY MICRO BETTING IS ONE
OF THE MOST ADDICTIVE FORMS OF
GAMBLING GIVEN YOUR AUDIENCE'S
YOUNGER PEOPLE?
>> MY AUDIENCE IS OLDER PEOPLE,
I GET THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO BE A
HERO HERE AND TO SAVE THE DATE
AND PAINT ME IN A BAD LIGHT.
>> Bomani: I'M SAVING THE DAY?
>> YOU'RE TRYING TO, PROBABLY
WITH A LOT OF YOUR GUESTS YOU
GET ONE OVER ON THEM AND THEY
AREN'T SMART ENOUGH TO KEEP
TRACK OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
[LAUGHTER]
>> Bomani: NOBODY'S TRYING TO
FOOL YOU, WHY DO I NEED TO TRY
TO FOOL YOU?
I'M ASKING YOU A REAL QUESTION.
YOU APPEAL TO YOUNGER PEOPLE AND
THIS IS HOW YOU'VE MADE A LOT OF
MONEY AND YOU ARE STILL
APPEALING TO YOUNGER PEOPLE AND
NOW YOU ARE SELLING MICRO
BETTING AND THE QUESTION IS DO
YOU WORRY ABOUT THAT?
>> FOR SURE, THAT'S WHY IT'S
ALWAYS GAMBLE RESPONSIBLY, ONLY
BET WITH MONEY YOU'RE WILLING TO
LOSE, THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS.
DOWNLOAD BETR BUT GAMBLE
RESPONSIBLY.
>> Bomani: OKAY.
AFTER TOMMY THEORY, WHERE DO YOU
GO FROM THERE?
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU LOSE ONE OF
THESE FIGHTS?
>> I DON'T PLAN ON LOSING, I
DON'T TRAIN TO LOSE.
I FEEL LIKE THAT'S PROBABLY YOUR
MIND-SET, A LOT OF PEOPLE TRY TO
PROJECT THEIR MIND-SET --
>> Bomani: I'M NOT PROJECTING
MIND-SET, MY QUESTION IS THIS
HAS WORKED BECAUSE WE ARE ALL
SURPRISED THAT YOU KEEP WINNING
THESE FIGHTS, RIGHT?
I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO LOSE
EARLY, YOU SURPRISE ME AT BEAT
NATE ROBINSON, I DIDN'T THINK
YOU BEAT ANDERSON SILVA, YOU
SURPRISE ME WHEN YOU DID THAT.
BUT IF SOMEBODY DOES BEAT YOU,
HOW MUCH INTEREST STAYS IN THIS
WHEN IT STOPS BEING A SURPRISE?
>> THEY WON'T.
I'M GOING TO BE HONEST, I DON'T
KNOW WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE, MY
PR TEAM SAID --
>> Bomani: ALL I KNOW ABOUT
YOU IS THAT PEOPLE DON'T LIKE
YOU.
>> OF VIRAL INTERVIEW, THIS IS
YOUR BIG MOMENT, SOAK IT ALL IN.
>> Bomani: I'VE TALKED TO A
BUNCH OF BIGGER MOTHERFUCKERS
THAN JAKE PAUL IN THIS WORLD.
>> HAVE A NICE DAY WITH YOUR
CLOUT, I HOPE YOU MAKE A
THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR YOUR VIEWS,
HAVE A NICE DAY.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> Bomani: I WAS JUST ABOUT TO
ASK HIM IF HE ATE BOOTY.
HE SAID WE WERE USING HIM FOR
CLOUT, AND MAYBE I GET A
THOUSAND DOLLARS.
YES?
OH, YEAH!
WAY MORE.
THAT IS OUR SHOW, TO YOU AND
JAKE PAUL, HAPPY BLACK HISTORY
MONTH!
GOOD NIGHT!
WHO WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE GET
HIS ASS WHIPPED IN A CELEBRITY
BOXING MATCH?
>> LITTLE BOW WOW.
>> Bomani: Y?
>> TED CRUZ?
>> Bomani: THAT'S A GREAT
CHOICE.
>> DR. PHIL.
>> Bomani: YOU JUST WANT
SOMEBODY TO BEAT DR. PHIL UP?
>> I THINK SOMEBODY IN THE
AUDIENCE.
>> YOU KNOW WHO NEEDS TO GET
THEIR ASS KICKED AS SOME OF THE
REAL HOUSEWIVES?
>> Bomani: FIGHTING EACH
OTHER?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> WOODY ALLEN.
>> Bomani: WHY WOODY ALLEN?
>> I SAW HIM DURING THE PANDEMIC
AT CENTRAL PARK AND INSTEAD OF
WEARING A MASK HE WAS HOLDING A
BUNCH OF NAPKINS ON HIS FACE.
>> Bomani: OF ALL THE THINGS
HE COULD HAVE DONE THAT WOULD'VE
