Joe is OBSESSED with that fucking 50 cent AI cover
I bought 2 hats from Jack Carr's website. Long story short, post office delivered it to someone else, said they couldn't get it back, and the people who got it, turned it in unused after 6 months. BUT!!! I told Carr's company about the issue and they sent two more hats for free!! And then when I got the original 2 hats I told Carr's company, and they didn't ask for the free ones back.
Imagine this guy having a conversation with Ben Shapiro.
There's a reason this man writes, his thoughts are nonstop.
“I’ve been goin’ a thousand miles an hour… for a long time.” Brilliant foreshadowing.
