Summary

He dug up Dianna Russini's playlist for Mike Vrabel. And Osama bin Laden's p*rn stash from the CIA. He even got a DM from Bill Belichick's girlfriend on the prowl. Now, David Covucci is shattering the illusion of coaches' power — and the unfathomable pastimes of the billionaire booster class — one embarrassing document bomb at a time. Pablo finds a kindred spirit... and Jessica Smetana makes history.

I'm looking at how many views are on the Diana Rusini Spotify playlist.

I just got asked to join the Twitter monetization program, and it asked for so much information.

0:29.0

I was like, I can't do this.

0:30.4

You're like, I know how records can be used against you.

0:33.6

Like connecting to Twitter through my bank accounts, like, we can see your balances and recent transactions. It's like, no, no, please, I don't like that at all. But the downside is that the next time you have a post that has 19 million views on it, it will not be monetized. You can make $6. I did the math. I think it might have been like $120 had I been able to get it, which is, you know, I'm starting my own business here. I'll take anything I can get, even sort of evil dollars from Elon. Jess Bataena, did you know of David Kavucci before the Diana Rusey and E Spotify playlist? I did. I've been following his newsletter, subscribing to his newsletter, for a long time now. Oh, thank you. I mean, Foyabal is one of the all-time great sports newsletter ideas. I had been kicking around in my head for a while, and like any good journalist, I got laid off, and just figured now was the time to try my own thing.

Yes. I was working at a place called Bro Bible the time, which is still somehow one of the only- You were foyering Osama bin Laden stuff
