Fantastic episode today. Guy's incredibly arrogant, typical journ*list. He believes he's famous? He keeps bringing up his degree in Information Systems and spergs a little (timestamp) when fatty says nobody cares. Comments are fire. Schizophrenia? He reminds me of a few I've encountered.
Chads show themselves in the comments
Everything I have written may or may not be right and might be completely exaggerated, don't trust me. I can't even spell right most of the time.

'I'm overqualified'
- 'I'm overqualified for most things'
Some are because of his background check
As things go on he reveals his true colors:
- 'I think that's what people are afraid of. That if I go into a job they're afraid I'm going to be their boss right off the bat because I might be because that's my attitude and I'm smart and I can boss people. I have a degree in information systems. I've been a journ*list, I've been a policy analyst, an avertising agency, I've built apps'

Because something better is going to come along and I just know it
