I'm very interested to see this for multiple reasons. Anyway, back to Brad. Back to Brad. Brad's doing Attempting to do. my interpretation, a ton of reputational rehab, a ton, you know, kids are dropping that pit surname like crazy.
Do I think that there is um weaponizing going on? Uh Orchestrated by Angelina Jolie? Yes, I do. Um, do I also think that Brad Pitt knows his reputation needs a lot of rehab?

He's been famous the bulk of his adult life.

Very, very famous. Poppies. uh dressing in camouflage, um big dogs, um, hanging out with regular Americans, uh leaking to the media that he prefers regular Americans to um the Hollywood scene. And that um all of his pro like he never had a problem with alcohol. This is a headline from the Daily Mail and we're gonna get into it. Brad Pitt didn't have an alcohol problem. He had an Angelina Jolie problem. He's done this before. He's blamed. He's done it before. We're going to get into it. Then we'll have some great troublemaker feedback and another Kennedy.
