when you're making a kind of claim for success that has to be immediately caveated.
It's taken just shy of £33,000 in the UK.
I mean, I'm annoyed that it's taken £33,000.
From what I can tell, that £33,000 is exclusively from journalists going to see it and writing articles with the headline, I watched the Melania documentary, so you didn't have to.
You didn't have to.
Nobody had to watch this shit.
It's also really important to note that Amazon coughed up $40 million and offered the $35 million to promote it, which makes it the highest price ever paid for a documentary film.
Why is this happening, you might ask?
Why is Jeff Bezos spending extravagant sums of money that there's absolutely no way of recouping to make a documentary about the wife of Donald Trump?
We can only speculate.
As to why Jeff Bezos may be going out of his way to ingratiate himself further with Donald Trump, you might ask the question, why is this film happening at all?
And for answers to that, we might look to Brett Ratner, who is the director and who this week has emerged to be in a photo with Jeffrey Epstein as part of the Epstein File Revelations.
Ratner is a director who had previously been accused of sexual misconduct, who also directed the Rush Hour films.
Before we go, Coco, listen, you know me.
I'm Mr. Rise and Grind.
I wake up every morning and I immediately grind.
I'm the absolute high priest of hustle culture.
Therefore, I'm sure it will be a huge surprise to you as it was to me and indeed my agents and promoters that last week I completely forgot to say on the podcast that I have announced a new UK and Ireland tour that's happening in September, October and November of this year.
The tickets are available right now.
