I mean, sure, “everything happens for a reason,” but isn’t that kind of like saying, “water is wet?” On this episode of The Pleasure is Ours, host Cody Ko is joined by rapper, musician, and hilarious internet personality Rich Brian in a discussion that pins the concept of fate against those of hard work and determination. As someone who taught himself English and then got famous using the internet in Indonesia (a country that had previously restricted internet access), Rich Brian might very well be the authority on this subject. “Everything happens for a reason” is a pretty lazy piece of consolation for someone facing hard times, so Cody and Brian put their heads together to come up with some more helpful advice. And if you assume that their heady discussion about fate and destiny doesn’t somehow involve the 2 Girls 1 Cup video...you’d be wrong.
