To me, that quote is like, yeah, damn the torpedoes.

Let's do it.

It depends which camp you're kind of coming from.

I think there are diehard fanboys that have just like total blindfold to the negatives.

I mean, like anybody who is one of the most famous people on earth, right?

Like, and past a certain level of fame, I think there's like a derangement syndrome about everybody.

So I think it's actually kind of hard to find a neutral or a like well-rounded person

set of opinions on him?

Um, he's spiky.

I mean, he's, he is like, he's an unrefined sense of humor that he like puts out there.
