Kyle Kuzma had a nice night in the Washington Wizards‘ 97-94 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. Kuzma, whom the team acquired from the Los Angeles Lakers in the Russell Westbrook trade over the summer, scored 22 points on 8-for-14 shooting and five rebounds while connecting on six of his nine attempts from three, including a triple with just over 10 seconds remaining to give the Wizards a lead they would not relinquish.
After the game, Kuzma stressed that he was a little extra motivated to have a big night because of some Cavs fans who were giving him a hard time. He went as far as to say that his big night was the fault of these people who would not stop chirping.
Kyle Kuzma had extra motivation on his game-winning 3
“There were some hecklers during the game talking to me so I had to. It was their fault, really.”
“They had a sign up that said, ‘LeBron won Kuzma his ring'”
“They had a sign up that said, ‘LeBron won Kuzma his ring,’” Kuzma said. “And I said, ‘Without Bron, Cleveland wouldn’t be shit,’ so, they chose violence and I just kept going. So, thank you guys, appreciate it.”
It turns out someone did, indeed, make that sign, along with another that said he took the Cavs’ moneyline on the night.
In recent years, there have been a handful of stories of fans crossing lines with players in how they interact with them, so it’s pretty cool to see that Kuzma and these folks had a good back-and-forth. Well, unless you took the Cavs’ moneyline.
It’s no secret that bourbon can be pretty sweet. This corn-based whiskey is known for its caramel, honey, butterscotch, vanilla, and sometimes sweet oak flavors. We’ve written about spicy bourbons in the past, but today we’re turning our attention to the fruitier side of bourbon.
When it comes to “fruit” flavors in bourbon, it really depends on what kind of fruit you’re smelling and tasting. Yeasts can impart bright, almost vibrant stone fruits, orchard fruits, sweet florals, berries, fresh citrus, and more. Meanwhile, the barrel (and finishing barrel) can impart darker fruity notes like dates, plums, raisins, dried berries or cherries, candied or dried citrus, and so much more. There’s a lot going on when it comes to fruit in bourbon.
To find the best examples, we asked a handful of notable bartenders and bar professionals to tell us their go-to fruit-centric bourbons to drink this fall (and literally any time of year). Keep scrolling to see all of their cherry, ripe berry, dried apricot, and sweet sherry-filled selections.
Widow Jane 10
Widow Jane
Seamus Banning, bartender at The W Hotel in Philadelphia
For fruity and rich flavors, my bourbon of choice is Widow Jane 10. The proof of the whiskey isn’t super high and it’s very approachable for any level of a whiskey drinker. The vanilla and holiday spice on your first nose amplifies the almond, cherry, and tropical fruit notes dramatically. Plus, its minerality makes for a smooth sipper this fall.
Maker’s Mark 46 enhances the cherry notes of classic Maker’s with apple and pear. It’s perfect for fall. The extra stave finish brings out even more caramel and oak as well. Get the cask strength version for even more richness, dark fruits, and sweet woodiness.
For fruity, rich flavors I love Angel’s Envy Bourbon. What makes them unique is they finish their bourbon in port wine barrels, so it adds notes of those complex, fruity port flavors into the bourbon. The result is delicious with a spicy citrus nose, a thicker mouthfeel than most bourbons, and some fruity flavors like apples, plums, and peaches coming through in the taste.
Four Roses Small Batch
Four Roses
Christopher Rodriguez, lead bartender at Lucy Bar in Yountville, California
My go-to bourbon for people who are into fruity, rich flavors is Four Roses Small batch. It’s smooth and sweet with a hint of spice that would be perfect for the season (or any season for that matter).
Old Grand-Dad 114
Old Grand-Dad
Mike Fayad, general manager at Hearth and Hill in Park City, Utah
Old Granddad 114 is my favorite bourbon for daily drinking. It’s reasonably priced (when and where you can find it), great for cocktails, and packs a flavorful spicy, fruity punch that you’ll go back to again and again.
Blanton’s Single Barrel is my go-to bourbon for smooth, rich, and fruity flavors. It has vanilla and caramel notes with big cherry and orchard notes too. It’s a great higher-priced introductory bourbon.
Rabbit Hole Dareringer
Rabbit Hole
Nicholas Karel, director of bars, lounges, and beverage at Windsor Court Hotel in New Orleans
This Rabbit Hole bourbon is finished in sherry casks. It has intense depth with a soft sweetness and notes of raisins and currants. It’s not overly sweet but rich, delicious, and fruity.
Horse Soldier Signature
Horse Soldier
Mohamed Khald, food and beverage manager at The Vinoy Renaissance in St. Petersburg, Florida
Horse Soldier, a local bourbon from St. Pete, is hands down one of the best bourbons. It’s carefully crafted with sweet and spicy notes of caramel, vanilla, honey, dried cherries, and nutmeg and has an undeniably smooth, mellow, and fruity finish.
Eagle Rare 10
Eagle Rare
Chevy Farrell, beverage director for No Man’s Land in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Eagle Rare is an approachable expression with a solid age statement. On the first approach, toast and caramel notes take over and subtly melt into vanilla, dried fruits, and orange blossom honey finish. This bourbon is a fantastic pick for both new and seasoned drinkers alike and does a good job at highlighting fruit notes.
Buffalo Trace Distillery is my go-to for most of my American whiskey. The one that stands out (when available) is W.L. Weller Special Reserve. At 90 proof, this wheat bourbon is absolute perfection. It’s soft, sweet, and loaded with fruity, rich flavors.
Knob Creek 9 Year
Knob Creek
Alex Barbatsis, head bartender at The Whistler in Chicago
Knob Creek Kentucky Straight Bourbon has some lovely dried apricot notes that come through. It’s a nine-year barrel-aged whiskey that makes for a complex yet mellow pour that really leans into those stone fruit notes.
Four Roses Single Barrel
Four Roses
Christy Bradley, spirit guide at Virgin Hotels in New Orleans
For a great, relatively inexpensive, and fruity bourbon, I tend to lean towards Four Roses Single Barrel. It has some lovely pear and cherry hints on the palate along with vanilla and maple syrup.
Buffalo Trace Bourbon is a true crowd-pleaser. I don’t think I’ve ever given this to a patron and they didn’t like it. Stone fruit with demerara sugar plays with oak and a subtle yet slightly sweet spice note. It works great neat, on ice, or mixed into a cocktail.
Since the release of her multi-Platinum smash-hit single “You Broke Me First,” Tate McRae‘s career has been skyrocketing. Earlier this year, McRae teamed up with other big name artists like Khalid and Troye Sivan for various tracks. But with her latest single “Feel Like Sh*t,” McRae offers up an earnest solo tune about the ups and downs of a relationship.
The visual alongside “Feel Like Sh*t” plays up the emotion of the track. McRae, a trained dancer who had a stint on the TV show So You Think You Can Dance, works through a heart-tugging choreography that’s meant to mirror the pain of going through a turbulent breakup. “i wrote this song about a very personal experience and then michelle dawley and i brought it to life in this music video,” she said about the song. “i can’t explain how excited i am for you all to see this video and experience the ups and downs of a relationship in 3 minutes.”

Pete Davidson, 27, has earned the reputation as one of Hollywood’s most prolific ladies’ men for dating some of the most beautiful A-list women over the past three years. However, there are a lot of people out there who don’t understand the “Saturday Night Live” star’s appeal.
Davidson is tattooed from head to toe. He suffers from Crohn’s disease, has done multiple stints in rehab, describes himself as looking like a “crack baby” and only recently moved out of his mother’s basement on Staten Island.
But he’s also been one of the most popular cast members on “SNL” for the past seven years and co-wrote and starred in the critically acclaimed, “The King of Staten Island.”
The future generations of sociologists and psychologists will write about how Pete Davidson was able to consistently date women way out of his league
Davidson and the pop megastar revealed they were in a relationship at the end of May 2018 and quickly got engaged. The pair called off their engagement and broke up in October 2018 after just five months together.
Kate Beckinsale (2019)
The two were caught kissing at a New York Rangers game in January 2019, but the pair broke up that April because Davidson had to go to rehab and Beckinsale was busy making movies.
Margaret Qualley (2019)
Davidson and the “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood” star had a brief relationship at the end of 2019. Her mother, Andie McDowell, called their flirtation “nice.”
Kaia Gerber (2019-2020)
After Qualley, Davidson moved on to Cindy Crawford’s daughter, Kaia Gerber. Four months later, the couple broke up while Davidson was dealing with addiction and mental health issues.
Phoebe Dynevor (2020)
Davidson and the “Bridgerton” star saw each other for about six weeks, but things eventually soured because Dynevor was geographically undesirable.
Kim Kardashian (2021)
Davidson and Kardashian were spotted holding hands while riding a Halloween roller coaster together, leading some to believe they were romantically involved. However, Page Six sources say they’re “just friends.” The pair shared a kiss in an “Aladdin” sketch on SNL when Kardashian hosted in October.
In a Monday appearance on “Late Night With Seth Meyers,” model Emily Ratajkowski explained Davidson’s appeal and it’s pretty easy to understand.
“He’s a professional,” Ratajkowski said about Davidson. “First of all, you should know that about Pete.” She added, “Pete—he’s got the height. Obviously women find him very attractive.”
“I feel like only other men feel [that he isn’t attractive]. Guys are like, ‘Wow. What’s that guy got?’ And I’m like, I mean, he seems super charming,” she said. “He’s vulnerable. He’s lovely. His fingernail polish is awesome. He looks good!” Further, he has a “good relationship with his mom.” She concluded, “We love it. It’s hard to find them.”
“I love how every time Pete Davidson starts dating another beautiful celebrity everyone’s like ‘wtf is happening how did he do this what is this mystery???’ and everybody refuses to entertain the possibility that he might have a nice personality.”
Evidently, Davidson is a really attentive boyfriend, too.
“My love language, when I’m in a relationship, is I treat the person I’m with like a princess,” he told Paper. “I try and go as above and beyond as possible,” he said, “because that’s what you’re supposed to do? If you’re in a relationship with someone, you’re just supposed to make that person feel as special as possible.”
The fact that women everywhere are in love with Davidson actually says something pretty awesome. It goes to show that even in the glamorous world of Hollywood there’s something irresistible about someone who’s funny, attentive, vulnerable, charming, down-to-earth and loves his mother.
Squid has surpassed Thrones in number of views on YouTube, according to content analytics firm Vobile. The Korean series is up to 17 billion views, which includes official trailers and clips, as well as “fan recreations of iconic moments, real-world challenges inspired by the plot, and even narration of user-generated video games based on the property,” Varietyreports. Thrones, meanwhile, is at 16.9 billion views.
Vobile estimates that the 17 billion views have come from 129,000 uploaded videos, including traditional longform YouTube clips and their TikTok competitor YouTube Shorts… This sits in comparison to Game of Thrones, which had a decade to amass its fan army as opposed to the roughly eight weeks Squid Game has been in play. Thrones has 16.9 billion views from 420,000 uploaded videos, and an estimated 233 million engagements.
If you type in “squid game” on YouTube, the most-popular video isn’t a trailer; it’s “Challenge the squid game sugar pie, can you challenge success? #funny#shorts” with 78 million views (I love #funny#shorts), followed by “Kermit in Squid Game.” The top result for Thrones is the official season 8 trailer with 69 million views. Meanwhile, if this was 2012, “Squid Game of Thrones” would have 122 million views on Funny or Die.
This year’s Country Music Awards took place Wednesday evening, which saw the biggest names in country music taking the stage to perform their hits. But one name in particular was missing from the ceremony: Morgan Wallen. Though the mullet-sporting singer’s recent album Dangerous was up for Album Of The Year last night, he was banned from attending the event altogether after this year’s scandal that caught him using a racial slur on camera. Wallen ended up losing the award and he took to social media to react to the whole ordeal shortly thereafter.
Wallen’s Dangerous album was up for an Album Of The Year award alongside Carly Pearce’s 29, Chris Stapleton’s Starting Over, Brothers Osbourne’s Skeletons, and Eric Church’s Heart. Each of the artists nominated for the award performed their music at some point during the night, except, of course, for Wallen. Chris Stapleton ended up taking home the Album Of The Year award over Wallen, but the singer still had words of gratitude.
Wallen shared his reaction to the loss on Twitter, showing love to his fans and his faith. “I wake up every morning and thank the Lord for my blessings. Tomorrow morning will be no different. I love y’all,” he wrote.
I wake up every morning and thank the Lord for my blessings. Tomorrow morning will be no different. I love y’all
The last time we got a solo album from Jack White was 2018, with Boarding House Reach. Now, White has revealed he’s ending that drought in a big way next year: He’s releasing a new album, Fear Of The Dawn, on April 8, 2022. Then, a few months after that, on July 22, he’s dropping yet another new album, Entering Heaven Alive.
The news is accompanied by a new video for “Taking Me Back,” White’s rocking recent single that premiered last month in a trailer for Call Of Duty: Vanguard. As for the clip, it’s black and white with blue highlights, which really put the focus on White’s newly-colored hair. White co-directed the visual alongside Lauren Dunn.

Each week our staff of film and TV experts surveys the entertainment landscape to select the ten best new/newish shows available for you to stream at home. We put a lot of thought into our selections, and our debates on what to include and what not to include can sometimes get a little heated and feelings may get hurt, but so be it, this is an important service for you, our readers. With that said, here are our selections for this week.
10. (tie) The World According to Jeff Goldbum (Disney Plus)
NatGeo
The delightfully quirky Jeff Goldblum is here with more of his delightfully quirky show, in which he pursues delightfully intellectual questions while everyone keeps dropping “The Fly” jokes. After exploring the origins of ice cream (you must watch that episode), denim, recreational vehicles and more, he’s about to leap into your heart for another round of episodes, this time while exploring magic, fireworks, monsters, dogs, and dance. Watch it on Disney Plus.
If you find yourself commiserating with Penn Badgley’s obsessive serial killer Joe Goldberg when You’s third season drops this week, don’t take it personally. Relocating to a small town and having to interact with mommy bloggers and uber-masculine tech-daddies sounds like hell, sure, but it’s what he deserves. The show’s latest installment picks up where season two left off — with Joe and his new wife Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti at her best here) moving to the suburbs and trying to curb the worst of their shared homicidal tendencies. A new baby, new romantic distractions, anti-vaxxers, feminist wine retreats, and bro trips that end rather bloody all threaten their planned quiet life. And really, no amount of couple’s therapy can save a marriage when one spouse is constantly fantasizing about murdering the other. Happily ever after just isn’t in the cards for these two — but more dead bodies piling up in their basement certainly is. Watch it on Netflix.
Love Life ended up being the HBO Max original show to launch the service, and a new anthologized story is upon us with Anna Kendrick’s Darby passing the baton to a new unlucky-in-love protagonist, Marcus, who will be portrayed by William Jackson Harper (i.e., Jacked Chidi in The Good Place). Darby’s still in the show a little bit, but she got married, so this is all about Marcus finding himself launched from a long-term relationship and into the hell hole known as the dating world. Godspeed, Marcus. Watch it on HBO Max.
Are you in the mood for an intense survival epic and psychological horror story with plenty of coming-of-age touches? How about all of that with Juliette Lewis and Christina Ricci starring as the adult versions of two female athletes who were irretrievably shaken by their experiences after a plane crash in the wilderness? Sure, that sounds like a stressful description, but it’s also a hell of a watch. Not to mention another reason not to hop onto an airplane these days. Watch it on Showtime.
Dexter Morgan, who’s arguably TV’s most beloved serial killer of all time (sorry, Hannibal fans), is back, baby. The new season is a bloody good time for all and works hard to erase the sins of the lumberjack past. Ghosts of the past rear their heads, and it’s going to be a trip to see how Dexter can survive having to tend to something else beyond his inner war and that dumb hurricane. Dexter’s out of his element, and it’s so much fun to watch. Watch it on Showtime.
It’s a mitzvah in a world like this to turn the other cheek, bite the tongue, and generally disregard the impoliteness, ridiculousness, and stupidity of others. But wow, what a lift. Perhaps that’s why it’s so freeing to see Larry David and a cavalcade of stars and familiar faces push against the minutiae of polite culture with serial honesty. Who else could reject someone’s plea to pray for a sick relative without getting stabbed or mock the fakery of gazing deeply into someone’s eyes during a toast when all you want to do is freaking eat? Larry is no hero. He’s an asshole, but he’s our asshole and he’s back for another round of Curb. Watch it on HBO.
Before his new Disney+ series drops, Jeremy Renner is rolling out this gritty drama that tasks him with doing what he does best on screen: busting heads and playing an unlikable a**hole. We kid (sort of). Renner’s Mike McLusky heads up a family of power brokers who keep the crime-infested city of Kingstown in check, a family that includes Dianne West and Kyle Chandler. Their unique, fairly violent version of checks-and-balances is quickly coming to an end though as McLusky predicts new gangs and powerful figures are poised to throw the town into chaos and start a bloody war. Bad for Hawkeye, good for us. Watch it on Paramount Plus.
Paul Rudd and Will Ferrell reunite for this Apple TV+ tragicomedy based on a popular podcast, which itself is based on a true story about a hapless middle-aged businessman and the charismatic, conniving therapist who manipulates him for nearly 30 years. Ferrell plays the first of the duo, a man named Marty who can’t order a deli sandwich without shaking in his boots. He’s inherited a garment business from his dead parents and his brash sister (the always terrific Kathryn Hahn) demands he visit a therapist to get a handle on his self-confidence issues before they tank the family business. Enter Rudd, still charming as hell but with a sinister layer hiding underneath that practiced likability. As Marty’s shrink, Dr. Ike Herschkopf, Rudd channels the vibes of both a cult leader and a conman, draining Marty of his money, his happiness, and his will to live over their decades-long friendship. It’s easy to find the lighter moments in this bizarre tale, but both Rudd and Ferrell play against type to bring a pervading sense of melancholy to the whole thing. The moral of the story? Be careful who your shrink is. Watch it on Apple TV+.
Narcos is back once again, with stories about real-life drug cartels and the DEA agents who are after them, many of whom have pretty tremendous mustaches, including, as pictured above, Scoot McNairy. The third season of the Mexico-based spinoff picks up where season two left off, with various cartels at war and a very young El Chapo starting to make a name for himself. It’s a good time. Violent and sad and intense in parts, but still, good. Watch it on Netflix.
Big Mouth returns for a fifth season of hormone monsters, musical numbers, and talking pillows. Along with returning cast members Nick Kroll, John Mulaney, Maya Rudolph, Jason Mantzoukas, Ayo Edebiri, Jordan Peele, and Richard Kind, season five also features new characters voiced by Pamela Adlon, Keke Palmer, Kumail Nanjiani, and Chloe Fineman. Watch it on Netflix.
Everyone’s favorite collection of monsters is back, once again, this time for a slightly delayed third season. Things left off with the Roy family in turmoil, as always, although this time from friendly fire, thanks to noted screw-up and amateur rapper Kendall making a big move. The new season should get ugly in the best possible way, so hop on board week-to-week if you’re already a fan or load up a binge and get caught up to see what everyone’s yammering about all fall. Watch it on HBO Max.

We put a lot of thought into our selections, and our debates on what to include and what not to include can sometimes get a little heated and feelings may get hurt, but so be it, this is an important service for you, our readers. With that said, here are our selections for this week.
The Velvet Underground is one of the most influential bands of all-time. But unlike other iconic 1960s groups like, say, the Beatles, there’s not a ton of footage of Lou Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison, and Moe Tucker performing. To get around this, director Todd Haynes has made a documentary that captures the “idea” of the VU rather than a Wikipedia summary. Don’t walk, but “run run run” to watch The Velvet Underground! Watch it on Apple TV+.
This is a surprisingly star-studded — Ellie Kemper! Rob Delaney! Kenan Thompson! — addition to the Home Alone franchise, written by SNL veterans Mikey Day and Streeter Seidell. The plot remains the same: A 10-year-old boy gets left behind when his parents head off to Tokyo and he has to defend his house from various bumbling criminals. The reviews so far are… not great, but it might be worth a go if you’re looking for a nostalgia blast to the face or something to watch with younger kids. Order yourself a large cheese pizza first. Watch it on Disney Plus.
The spooky business all gets rebooted here, with the franchise focusing in on a collection of teens, one of whom is on a mission to discover what happened to her mother. Does she uncover a secret? Is the secret described in the preview materials as “a terriying truth”? Buddy, you know it is. We’ve all see enough of these movies to know that. But it doesn’t make them any less fun. Watch it on Paramount+.
What we have here is Benedict Cumberbatch as an eccentric old-timey artist whose — and we’re just going to go ahead and quote Amazon’s summary because there’s no improving on this phrasing — “playful, psychedlic pictures transformed the public’s perceptions of cats forever.” Yeah. And Claire Foy is in there, too. It’s a whole thing. Watch it on Amazon Prime.
Netflix bet on dead with Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead, and that bet apparently paid off handsomely, which is a good thing because there’s already a prequel in the can. Matthias Schweighöfer returns to the franchise as Dieter, a then-bank teller who’s recruited by Nathalie Emmanuel (who promises “a life less ordinary”) to begin his heisting career. Of course, this prequel isn’t entirely devoid of zombies, but the focus is on those safes, which are cracking. Watch it on Netflix.
You like Turner and Hooch, right? Of course you do. Tom Hanks + a dog = good ’80s movie. OK, well, what if Turner and Hooch was set in the post-apocalyptic future… and instead of working as a cop, Tom Hanks is one of the last people on Earth and he travels the planet with his dog and a robot… and the movie was directed by the guy who did the awesome “Hardhome” and “Battle of the Bastards” episodes of Game of Thrones. It’s Finch time. Watch it on Apple TV+.
In the mood for a critically-acclaimed new drama? Good news: Passing is on Netflix. The film, shot in black-and-white and starring Tessa Thompson and Ruth Negga, is the directorial debut from Rebecca Hall. It tells the story of two women who live in New York, both of whom are Black but one of whom has lighter skin and passes as white, with twists and turns and tragedy unfolding throughout. It’s a heavier watch than some of the other options out there, but hey, you could use a little culture. Watch it on Netflix.
At long last, Dune is here. Denis Villeneuve’s science-fiction epic starring everyone you like (including Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Zendaya, and Jason Momoa) should probably be seen on the biggest screen possible. But it’ll still look darn good at home. Watch it on HBO Max.
Jeymes Samuel’s slick, stylish Netflix Western is a “pick your fighter” lineup of gun-slinging, swag-dripping Black cowboys ready to dust off the history books and give us a more accurate, diverse representation of the Old West. Jonathan Majors is having a hell of a year and here, he imbues the deadly Nat Love with some impressive comedic beats that make it easy to root for the vengeance-minded outlaw – unless, of course, you’re swayed by the prospect of Regina King riding a horse and f*cking sh*t up in every scene. (Who wouldn’t be?) Idris Elba, LaKeith Stanfield, and Zazie Beetz round out the main cast members with the most things to do on screen and all of the shoot-outs and train robberies and saloon fights are timed perfectly to an eclectic mix of Reggae/Dancehall bangers produced by Samuel and collaborator Jay-Z. This ain’t your grandpa’s Western, and really, that’s kind of the point. Watch it on Netflix.
Red Notice may be making its Netflix debut (after an initial theatrical drop last week), but there’s still a cost for admission outside your subscription fee; a requirement that you unplug your brain a little and let the reliance (or overreliance) on cliches, exotic locales, and movie megastar charms wash over you. If you want to do that owing to a desire for Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Nic Cage Stealing The Declaration Of Independence nostalgias, cool. You’re going to going to get a lot out of Gal Gadot having just so much fun with a villainous turn as a master thief while Ryan Reynolds and The Rock bumble, banter, and double-cross through a sort of buddy-cop routine while globetrotting in pursuit of McGuffin-y antiquities. Just don’t look for much more. Watch it on Netflix.
Instead of eating too much stuffing (jk there’s no such thing as too much stuffing) and watching football, Mike Lindell will spend his Thanksgiving futilely attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Sounds… fun? “I cannot wait to drop this Supreme Court case the Tuesday at 9 a.m. before Thanksgiving and the whole world is going to be watching all this unfold over Thanksgiving,” he previously told Steve Bannon. “We’re going to do a marathon from Wednesday night of Thanksgiving all the way to Sunday.”
Can’t you do a Turkey Trot like the rest of us?
This week, Lindell shared a teaser of his Thanksgiving week broadcast, including an interview with Donald Trump wearing an ill-fitting tuxedo. “You go back to November 4 and we all lived this Twilight Zone… There’s an old saying, y’know, if a tree falls in the forest and no one heard it, did it really fall? Well, then the media tells us there is no forest,” the pillow lord said in the clip. “We were all living in this Twilight Zone and you were living there with us, but then you had all the betrayals and attacks on you that escalated to a whole another level.” He also regurgitated something Trump’s son Eric told him once, and said that he’s been “praying” for the ex-president to “have strength.”
Here it is:
Mike Lindell releases a short teaser of his ‘exclusive blockbuster interview’ with Trump. This is what he says will be so earth shattering that when he plays it the week of Thanksgiving, the American people will rise up and demand Trump’s reinstatement. This isn’t inspiring me. pic.twitter.com/0VB0MChBT5
I’ve never done a blockbuster interview with a former president from what appears to be a hotel conference room, but I think, were I to do one, I’d probably look at a screen at some point and say: “Burn that fucking tape; get a desk for these guys, asap.” https://t.co/P6cLF54BCV
The interview will be a flop. It will be made fun of on national tv and every social media. Trump will blame Lindell for the awful questions/rambling/editing/energy of the thing and publicly throw one of his loudest allies under the bus
