The Combat Jack Show Thread

Gambling wasn’t legalized yet across the board. So, dude definitely dropped the ball.

Desus was a complete fool for passing that up. That’s a risk you take no matter what. And Jamie and Kevin probably would’ve bypassed them eventually because of them being more popular but, definitely should’ve struck while the iron was hot.

You NEVER turn down a deal from Vegas/Hard Rock/MGM, that’s an offer like Don Corleone says “you can’t refuse”.

How you turn down anything pertaining to Las Vegas and gambling is baffling

It's crazy because back then Bevel, online therapy and blue pills were the popular podcasting advertisers.

There’s a Harrod’s and Hard Rock that I frequent here in Florida. The Harrod’s casino paid OUT 1.5 billion in winnings last year. One point five, so imagine how much revenue they made, if they paid out that 1.5.

They probably grossed 2+ billion easily. Any casino brand come calling, you don’t pass that up.

So Nore hasn't gotten any traction lately besides his weight loss, so he has Benzino again to go viral

And they weren't direct relationships like the sports betting companies, they were 3rd party aggregators taking most of the money. Those are falling out of favor because the people running those are out here scamming and running off with big podcasters money.

I also heard that Mero did most of the writing, especially for the book. Supposedly, a lot of Desus’ stories are fabricated or greatly exaggerated.

I didn’t know about the Judd Apatow deal. Bodega Hive always joked about “Hollywood Desus” but according to 7pm, Mero says that Desus passed on a Judd Apatow project. Smh

Mero has receipts This could get ugly.

George Karl wants the smoke

 

[All Ready]

this is the only time mero has sounded like an actual person

without all the extra jolly goofy crap

 

[frshstunna]

Yeah I get the feeling the bread wasn't as good as what it is now. Mero seems like he was rushing quick deals because he has a large family.

It’s easy to pass on half of 1.5 Milly hoping for something bigger when it’s just you to take care off vs a fam of 5+ …Sounds like they never had the critical sit down to iron out long term goals before they really blew up, that’s always a problem

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Mero low key called Desus a c**n. I would get c**n type vibes from him when I did see a few of their clips. I don't know if that's his act but he comes across as the black friend in the white crew.

 

[x Buddha Bless x]

I got that vibe from both of them due to some of their antics

Glizzy Gang is wild.

His giggling and snickering during talking and laughing at his own jokes annoys the hell out of me.

Shannon Sharpe needs to stop punching down. He shouldn't even acknowledge Cam and Mase.

Dudes are after content and attention to go viral.

Everyone just trying to go viral and forcing content is getting annoying. Jeff Teague on that type of time too.

It’s the new reality of world media. Everyone is trying to go viral

Nothing is genuine for the sake of being genuine. Bout to really disconnect for a bit from all this.

Trick on Vlad is good

Trick always had a hustle. His dad managed/owned the old king of diamonds. Dude was pimp. Trick got fired from 99jamz for something

Dude always bounces back some way or another

Schulz pulled an amazing grift on his fans with that special. I don’t even think Osh Kosh could pull that one off.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Schultz becoming a big name is one of the weirdest things in the podcast game.

 

[masagipatron]

Watching drunk Benzino, pushing 60, talking about Paul Pierce and Eminem on Drink Champs. He’s talking about he’s got kids now, he’s trying to be positive. This MF got grandkids now

He said “**** Scott Storch!” Ten seconds later “Yo I love Scott Storch…his crib, coke everywhere”

Talking about how he used to sniff coke and he smoked crack. This **** going off the rails a quarter of the way
