Calls Cosby a rapist

Makes Statement0 Comments

Buress calls Cosby a rapist during his comedy routine at his late night show at the Trocadero.

It’s even worse because Bill Cosby has the f-ckin’ smuggest old black man persona that I hate. He gets on TV, ‘Pull your pants up black people, I was on TV in the 80s! I can talk down to you because I had a successful sitcom!’ Yeah, but you rape women, Bill Cosby, so turn the crazy down a couple notches.

Interview0 Comments

Norton appears as a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live and talks about his experience as the very first Uber passenger.

I met Travis, who started Uber, back when it was still kind of this funky little experiment in San Francisco, and I was super-impressed by what he was doing. As someone who’s had a long-standing antipathy and occasional physical battle with New York cab drivers, I begged him to bring it to New York City. Begged him, literally.

Hoult returns as a guest on Conan to promote his latest movie, Young Ones. He also talks about the extremely dangerous stunts he had to do on the film, exchanging pranks with X-Men co-star James McAvoy, and engaging in a full-on BB gun war with him.

Yeah, that came to an end because people got shot in the face and welts would pop up and bleed and it was a 3-D movie and you could see them clearly even with makeup so we had to stop.

They’re going “Dr. Jon”, Dr. Jon.” One lady, she goes — I just want to see if you’re here. She’s screaming for me. She had a thing that hung down like this. One day I said, what happened to your finger? She’s like, what happened to your face?

Another Wrestling Podcast interview

Interview0 Comments

Poffo talks to Another Wrestling Podcast about the upcoming Randy Savage documentary.

My mother didn’t want to be in it, and I talked her into it, and she was phenomenal. You know she’s going to be 88 years old in January. She’s so…I don’t want to get negative, she’s still harboring the resentment that nobody offered her condolences from the WWE. And I said, “Mom look at it this way, this is not about the Macho Man, it’s about the Macho Fan. And they’re the ones who gave him his lifestyle. And they’re the ones that made him go on top of the mountain, and he lived there for many, many years, and he had a great life, and it’s all because of the Macho Fan.”

Alternativenation.net interview

Interview0 Comments

Kane talks to Alternativenation.net about Sting coming to WWE and Triple H’s leadership.

He’s done a tremendous job with the Performance Center in Orlando, and with NXT. They have a great product, the guys that are coming out of there are really great. I was just thinking about that the other day, you could always tell there was something special about him. Certainly he knows the wrestling business like no one else, he’s got a fabulous mind. When you’re talking about people I’ve worked with who have influenced me as far as character development, he’s one of them. I don’t know which is more surprising, the fact that he’s in the role that he’s in, or that I’m still here in WWE 20 years later.

Busted Open interview

Interview0 Comments

Jericho talks to Busted Open Radio about fans buying into professional wrestling in the modern age.

Well, it is different. After Michaels there was the Mysterio angle. That is what I pitched to Vince to work around Rey’s mask. Vince said ‘they don’t care about the mask’, and I said ‘of course they do that is why they buy it.’ We had this guy wear a mask and never explained what it means too him.  I want his mask. Vince said ‘Why do you want his mask’? I said because I am a bully. I want his milk money. I don’t want any milk. I am going to take it and throw it into the lake. Then Vince loved it. Then with the CM Punk feud in 2012 my thing I wanted to take it to this next level I wanted to tattoo him. Vince loved it and then was kind of talked out of it.

Total Wrestling Magazine interview

Interview0 Comments

Ross talks to Total Wrestling Magazine about young talent and Roman Reigns.

It appears that Roman Reigns is the heir apparent to the WWE Title but the issue is when will he be ready? There’s no magic formula as to when that can or will occur. So that’s definitely not set in stone. Who’s to say that Lesnar will even be a villain by WM31?

Corcoran talks with LinkedIn executive editor Daniel Roth about seeing the Corcoran Group grow now that she is no longer a part of it, the future of the brokerage business, why Shark Tank is a hit, and how she hires people:

Who did I look for in a partner? Someone who was opposite…And the bigger the business gets, the more it’s gotta look like a giant crayon box with a million different colors. That’s what gives the business its substance. Most people like to hire pals that they get along with that are similar to themselves. Always the wrong call.

Teenagers are always looking for the next thing.

On whether the apps on the site will make good companies:

It’s not our job to make sure these turn into companies. Most of them should not be companies. They’re not companies but hopefully they can inspire somebody to take them and use them in their own companies or products.

The Talks interview

Lynch gives an interview to The Talks. He discusses his anger problem, meditation, and getting depressed from time to time.

You can still get a wave of depression or hate. And it’s all relative. The degree of it is less and less. So suffering begins to go away. Mankind was not made to suffer. Bliss is our nature. We are supposed to be happy. It is entirely possible to be packed with happiness. Real, deep bliss, wide awake, happy in the doing of things. And it’s the doing of things, the enjoyment of living, that is so much more intense when you have this bliss growing.
