ight be gigantic news. I like to catch the news early when it's small news before it becomes big news. An international team, a bunch of people at Tel Aviv University, figured out how to make wheat that doesn't rust. Now you might say to yourself, I didn't know wheat rusted in the first place. But don't admit that. Do not admit that. What you want to say is, really, the rust problem with wheat? Ye…

Why is that important? Well, we might be running low on fertilizer, so wouldn't it be nice to have some balancing effect on that? And yes, your wheat in the future will not rust, until the left protests the artificially created genetic product and then we all die of starvation. But don't think of that. Don't think of that. Or if you do think of that, that's the key to success. Just imagine everything's going to be bad, and then when you wake up tomorrow and everything's fine, you'd be like, whoa. Yeah, see, it's a theme.
How many of you saw what Ye tweeted about an exchange he had with his personal trainer? Did anybody see that? So apparently Ye has a sort of a celebrity personal trainer, and it's the same trainer that I think Kim Kardashian was using or does use or something. But anyway, this personal trainer has a close connection to the family for having trained both Ye and Kim and other people too. If you'd like to know how good he is as a trainer, he has also trained Lizzo. So he's reportedly also Lizzo's trainer. So you know he's good.
What? Oh, you're all terrible. You're terrible. You're terrible. You're doing your own jokes in your head now. Can you wait for me to do the jokes? Let me do the jokes. You don't have to do them in your head. No, all right.
But anyway, I read this exchange, and if it's real, which I think you always have to ask today, right? Remember, if you see something in the news that your first reaction is how in the world could that be real, probably it isn't. It probably isn't real like 95% of the time it isn't. But I'll tell you, this one sort of looks real. If I had to make a bet on the 5%, you know, the ones that blow your mind but it actually turns out to be real, this might be one. Because I don't know that there's anything about Ye that would suggest he would make up a tweet like make up a message and pretend somebody said it. That would feel completely out of character, right? There's no history of that. So I think it's real.
But let me tell you what he said. Apparently the trainer might be Jewish. I think that's the context. You'll have to give me a little fact check on this because I'm a little sketchy on the story. But the trainer was upset with Ye and wanted some kind of an apology for the Jewish people. I think that's the story. And ended up actually threatening Ye in a message, and that's what Ye tweeted. And this is a personal trainer. Just try to h

old this in your head. This is a personal trainer talking to Ye, who's a multi-billionaire. I'm not sure if he still is, but he had a bad week. But this is just the personal trainer talking to Ye. Just imagine this. Hold this in your head. That the personal trainer says you have two choices. One is you can have a loving conversation with me, and I think the context would be his impact on the Jewi…
