  • Sergio Vicente--Entitled Brats
    Nov 23 2024

    Sergio Vicente explains how the rise of Jake Paul is a metaphor for the age of Trump. An age of women-hating white guys, entitled brats. Don't get him started. Also, a few words about the Black vote. And was the Mike Tyson fight rigged? And could he, Serg, beat Jake Paul, if he had a year to get back in shape? And then a little incing on the cake--the great debate. Serg hosts The Fight podcast.
