your group too. So instead of having the cheering of the crowd that motivates the players it makes you feel like you're part of something and of course you get motivated by the cheer of the crowd. What if just saying the cheer of the crowd was in your headphones and it's the other people at home who are literally sharing at home? So they you might be hearing, you know let's say just to complete t…

How much would you like watching a baseball game where most of the time you're just waiting for something to happen even if you love baseball? Let's admit it you're waiting for stuff to happen. But while you're waiting you're hearing the funniest shortstop in the world just ripping apart the other team and just saying honest that this guy's got two left legs and he hasn't had a hit since Tuesday. You know whatever. It would be very entertaining.
Anyway so the whole point of it is that if you rethought sports as a digital product it would still work. Every bit of it would still work in the live setting once they go back to crowds are okay. But in the meantime you'd have a better product. So they should go back with a better product. It should be improved sports when they go back. You shouldn't be just wait, take a few months off and then just back to it. How boring would that be?
Did you see the press conference in which Trump got all over that one idiot in the back who wouldn't shut up? I thought it was his best sort of world wrestling performance because I think by now even the people who were slow to catch on have figured out that Trump knows what the show is. He knows he's putting on a show and he plays that like a show. It took people, I think his critics, it's taken them years to figure that out and even some of them still talk about it like he just lost his temper. No that's not what happened. He might have been genuinely mad that whatever time you're talking about, yeah it doesn't matter which time you say that that time you're talking about, whatever it was he might have been genuinely mad but that's not why he acted the way he did. He didn't act that way because he was mad. He acted that way because it's a show and he knows how to put on the show and he used a genuine emotion at whatever time to put on the show.
So today's show was excellent. There was this, I don't know, there's some reporter that must have been from some unfriendly publication and he starts asking questions and Trump tries to shut him down and doesn't really let him get his question out. So the guy's insistent and he won't stop talking and Trump's already gone to the next person. The guy just keeps talking and Trump just stops, puts the full Trump laser cannon focus on this guy and just rips him apart. And I'm just watching this and I'm thinking I've never enjoyed politics this much.
You know we say this all the time to the point where it's trite. You're gonna miss this. I mean you're really gonna miss this because you don't realize how jacked up your body chemistry is. We're kind of addicted to it if I'm being honest. We're kind of addicted. And you might have taken your team, you know let's say your team is team Trump and you're like Trump really tore into that guy that was a good day. But of course the other team they think that they're winning too. So you'll see then it'll be like ah did you see that crazy

old Trump did some more crazy stuff because he's so impulsive and he can't control himself, right? And then their ratings go up and everybody has a good time. So it's like everybody wins. You know the reason that wrestling and sports and all that work is that everybody gets a chance to win. Maybe your team loses today but you know you're gonna win later so you win too. Anyway I thought Trump's sh…
