    Yeah, YouTube recommended that video and I gave a fucking pass. I have no interest in watching a paid professional act like a desperate contestant degrading themselves for this dipshit’s billionaire’s petty cash.

    “$1,000,000 if you let me stab you in the stomach five times.”

    “Ok, I guess. My daughter has cancer, and this is the only way I can save her.”

    * Stabs him four times. *

    “Oh god, it hurts. Ok, I’m ready for the last one.”

    “Nah, I think we’re good. So I’ll be keeping the $1,000,000.”
