This week Trevor and Ken sit down to chop it up about the over-inflated male ego and the beta-alpha relationship a “certain type” of fan likes to fall in to with a “certain type” of celebrity.  Continuing the fun fest of dragging drake for his inability to correctly handle any situation he puts himself in, the cult of personality around elon musk, the tech industry concept of “disruption”, trump coin and g6 priests stalling out; its all on the chopping block.
