Randy Arozarena stepped out of the box on three straight pitches because he knew the pitcher wasn’t throwing him a strike.

The count went to 3-0.

Next pitch, he absolutely nuked a home run.

One of the most disrespectful at-bats in MLB history.

Happy 20th anniversary to the greatest pit stop of all time

While Thor made a thunderous, god-like entrance in Wakanda and Iron Man staged a high tech showdown in New York, Steve Rogers slips into the film as a fugitive on the run. The Russo brothers deliberately kept him off screen for the first 40 minutes to crank up the suspense, giving his “Secret Avengers” reveal a raw, grounded, and gritty edge.

Shortness of breath, hemoptysis, and near syncope after a recent illness/immobility sounds like a massive PE.

This guy lands one of the most insane BMX tricks of all time and the crowd goes absolutely berserk.

A 13-year-old Canadian kid uploaded R&B covers to YouTube in 2008 from his bedroom. A talent manager named Scooter Braun stumbled on the videos and signed him.

For the next 15 years, Braun controlled everything. Tours, branding, business deals, public image. The kid became the biggest pop star on the planet, sold 150 million records, racked up 32 billion Spotify streams, and had three Diamond-certified singles before turning 25.

Then in 2022, he got hit with Ramsay Hunt syndrome. Partial facial paralysis. Cancelled the world tour. Disappeared from public life entirely.

Here's where it gets interesting.

In January 2023, he sold his entire 290-song catalog to Hipgnosis for $200 million. Every song he'd ever released. "Baby." "Sorry." "Love Yourself." All of it. Gone. At 28 years old, he cashed out his past.

Then he dropped Scooter Braun. After 15 years. No manager. No agent. For the first time in his career, nobody was making decisions for him.

Fast forward to this weekend. Coachella calls. He picks up the phone himself. Rolling Stone confirmed he negotiated his own headlining deal directly with Goldenvoice. No agent commission. No manager cut. $10 million for two weekends, and he kept all of it.

Then he walked onto the biggest stage in music, sat down behind a MacBook, and pulled up YouTube.

He played "Baby" from 2010. He played his bedroom covers from 2008. He harmonized with his 13-year-old self in front of 100,000 people. Katy Perry joked about whether he had YouTube Premium.

Half the internet called it lazy. The other half called it genius.

They're both wrong. It was a receipt.

He sold his catalog for $200 million. He fired the man who discovered him. He negotiated his own deal. And then he went back to the exact platform where it all started and said: I built this from a laptop. I'm headlining Coachella from a laptop. And for the first time in my life, every dollar is mine.

The kid from YouTube just closed the loop.

Mason Miller.
10 pitches. 3 strikeouts.
103 with THAT slider isn’t fair. 😳
