Bill Simmons Hates the Yankees AND the Royals: Sports podcaster-turned-Spotify muckety muck Bill Simmons is not happy that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle only delivered 12 podcast episodes during their $20 million deal with the streaming giant. Simmons called them "fucking grifters" on his own podcast and said he should talk about a Zoom call with Harry brainstorming ideas that did not go well. "I gotta get drunk one night and tell the story," he said.
Simmons is being an unprofessional fool. If I was higher on the Spotify corporate ladder I'd think him too much of a chump to be an executive at the company.
If they did so little it's probable they got far less than $20 million.

The British Royal family have been grifting their own country and the nations of the former Empire/Commonwealth for nearly a thousand years.
What were you expecting?

Bright guy whose sense of self importance is too inflated for the Fed to use as an index for the current US economy.
