We started Bold American 3 months ago and it seems unreal we're up to episode 13 already. There have been some lessons learned along the way, for instance, I overslept my recording times while attending a bachelor party and Club Space in Miami for 13 hours, and last week I went through 4 separate sales interviews, and covered for a bartender in some legal trouble, which led to me not getting out enough clips to promote the show. However that's no excuse, and I want this show to succeed, so let's turn over a new leaf and be a more collaborative part of the team, fire off some correct takes about the topics discussed in this week's episode.
The Cuauhtémoc, Mexican Vessel, Crashes into the Brooklyn Bridge
First and foremost, very scary, and prayers up to those who lost their lives and were injured in the crash. Now let's get down to brass tax.
I have so many questions, like, HOW THE FUCK DID THEY NOT SEE THIS COMING? Was the captain looking up at the bridge in search of a clearance sign you'd find in a McDonald's drive-through? "No overhead clearance, we're good amigos." Was this some type of elite training exercise where they wanted their cadets to channel their inner Jack Sparrow and swing from sail to sail in the hopes of prevailing? Ludicrous that they thought the biggest sailboat ever created was going to fit under the bridge.
I can only imagine the pure fear of the guy at the top of the sails. I've manned the rails before and it's generally a fun experience, besides in the US Navy we man the rails far too early so the only fear is locking your knees and falling into the nets, but again, if you're the guy at the top, you have to see that coming from a mile out and say fuck this, "GET OFF THE SAILS BOYS". All in all a tragedy and a terrible look for the folks in charge. That ship was commissioned in 1982, so again I ask HOW THE FUCK DID THIS HAPPEN?
President Biden Announces He Has Prostate Cancer
I'll be short and sweet with this one because I pretty much agree with the panel. CNN's Jake Tapper has reported in his new book that Biden's health was declining during his run against President Trump and the plan all along was to win the election and pass off the duties to Kamala Harris. Don't quote me on that and understand that I am an idiot, but anyone with two working eyeballs could've told you that from the moment he started falling off bikes and upstairs. That being said, cancer sucks ass, and they need to announce the cure and stop profiting off of people's death. (Conspiracy theory that was also discussed in the episode). I find it strange that the discovery of his prognosis came so late in the stage of this particular battle but again, I'm an idiot. Best wishes to Biden and his family. Fuck cancer.
Best Of The Rest
Also Discussed was the Osama Bin Laden: American Manhunt Documentary which I hear is insane and phenomenal and I will circle back on at a later date.
Springsteen's Trump comments, ehh who gives a shit, be mad Bruce, we're stuck with him 'till '28 bucko.
P Diddy's Trial updates, in summary, he's a gross, sick, perverted man who was good at making music and covered up an insane amount of things coming to light now. Throw the book at him, sick, twisted individual.
Then Rob and Cons went under fire for their hair or lack there of. Rob has a fresh cadet cut going on and I can't decide if its better than his Macklemore look yet or not. Then Cons went under fire for saying he doesn't feel old but Ryan made the astute observation that he is indeed a bald man.
