   good for you, but soon you might have to listen to more when he becomes the next white house press secretary.  what did you think of his 15 foot Afghanistan giant podcasts ?    can you believe somebody actually had this hanging on their fence in my small town for all the young children to see on their way to school.  what message are we sending our youth ? 

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Minion?

My understanding was he did commentating on the UFC for free when it started, just because he loved martial arts.

Now that it's successful, he's sharing in it.

You may have a different view, or are being told to have one.
