@philly_colector@BarstoolBigCat You should wear your shorts lining as shorts and your shorts as shorts lining so your shorts lining isn't longer than your shorts... Not as funny
@steph_fmvp@LaWwfc@OrbFromOnline@pablofindsout@PabloTorre I thought the book was the most scammy part but if you read the Amazon reviews or things from the publisher, it is clearly just a self help book. I don't think that is worth Pablo and the not famous mentalist insinuating he's a fraud over.
I did watch it, that's how I saw Pablo cutoff the clip I posted. Most of the episode is explaining how the tricks work and then saying it's unethical because Oz says that the trick is done one way when really it is done another way. He may have also started the trick before the viewer at home got to see which is apparently unethical according to Pablo's magician friends. These are magician ethics, not real ethics. Real ethics are did people consent to tricks being played on them? If so, then it's fine. If not, that's a problem. The fact they invited Oz on their shows makes me think they wanted the tricks. I think Oz intentionally doesn't call himself a magician so that he doesn't have to follow the magician ethics. Can't wait for next week's episode where Pablo disects the ethical issues of Jesus turning water into wine. "Did everyone even want wine? What about the children that were there? They can't drink wine! What about the people present who used to be alcoholics? That's problematic." Not all PTFO episodes are bangers. We don't need to pretend this one is.
Pablo even says right before this clip that he had to spend so much time coming up with a case for why Oz was a problem. If it's hard to come up with a reason why it's a problem, then it's probably not a real problem. I like Pablo, but this whole episode felt like searching for a problem.
I get it. It just wouldn't be very interesting if he told you yeah I saw what you googled earlier. He's an entertainer. Magician, mentalist, whatever he wants to call it is his shtick. I don't think he is acting in the bad faith that Pablo portrays. Probably compares more to interviewing a wrestler outside the ring when they're still in character. He just seems to always be in character when he's in public.
@JoshNorris Not to brag but I did buy https://t.co/smaa71vZ0u a couple months ago. I told Claude Code to turn it into a geocities site dedicated Eli. Not sure what I'm going to do with it. Maybe I'll just post your draft profile for him on a loop.
@ScottBarrettDFB@LanceZierlein Not saying he's anything near Thomas, but I've been thinking it's a similar situation running the triple option at Tech. People were saying the same things about Fannin in Bowling Green's offense as they are with Heidenreich at Navy
