Listen Later

Wazzup, wazzup,

Episode 51 - first episode of season TWO.

First, COME SEE ME DO STANDUP!

Two shows coming up:

- This Thursday 8/1 "The Comedy Tub" at Chicago Joe's (2256 W Irving Park Rd) 8pm FREE! (Det's here

- Next Thursday @ Comedy Clubhouse (1462 N Ashland Ave) at 10pm Thursday August 8. $8 online, $12 at box office. (Det's here!)

Aiight, let's hit it: T-Mobile/Sprint

Q: What do you get when 2 half-idiots have a baby?

A: A Nextel Push-to-Talk comeback

Bill Barr & his boys finally approved the merger. Get ready for your cell phone bills to go up (yes, even AT&T and Verizon).

A huge company like that means

-  more power to price-abuse customers (bc less competition)
- more power to bribe Congress
- more power to deliver sh!tty service

I do not like this merger (shocked, right?).

Next we jumped into talking about L Brands. Who??

These guys were originally behind The Limited, Abercrombie, Express, Structure, Lane Bryant. They currently own

- Bath and Body Works
- Pink
- and their crown jewel, Victoria's Secret.

Yo, shady stuff going on with CEO Leslie Wexler. This dude was boys with Jeff Epstein, super dangerous pedophile. Need I say more? Fine, I will. Jeff Epps was Leslie's "Personal Money Manager" aka Personal "I Got No Game" Manager. Leslie gave Jeff FULL Power of Attorney to basically use his name to do ANYTHING. Why? Well, Jeff used to falsely tell women he's a Talent Scout for Victoria's Secret, THEN sexually harass them. WTF?  *cue Radiohead* That's ~100x worse than the creep at the bar that awkwardly tries to join your group of friends. Where there's smoke ........ there's fire. I think Leslie used Victoria's Secret for super sketchy purposes. Stay further away from this stock than you would if you saw Jeff Epstein at a bar.

Finally, we talked to my improv team about how to make some cash. Dan Baker, an advertising exec, broke it down: marketing and advertising is HOW you get cash in the door. Anyone who says "advertising doesn't work" lives under Bill Barr. Listen in to learn a bit from Dan on how to get creative with advertising.

Chill and make chedda,

Amer
