Skip Bayless Accused of Paying Hair Dresser at FS1 $1.5 Mil to Have Sex With Him; Accuser Declined Offer (6 Viewers)

When I was younger, my mother had a friend from Spain who was very colorful and had this wonderful Spanish accent.

One day they were talking about travel, and I overheard her say "I want to go back to Italy, I want to be sexually harassed on the street again!"

I can still here that soundbite in my head, the way she said it was so enthusiastic.

Is this toxic masculinity that happened with what certain celebs said or did 20-25 years ago and being held to account now or did most of it happen within the past 6-7 years. If it's the former, then there's a lot of crazy sheet that great legendary comedians like Carlin, Pryor, or even Eddie Murphy would be in deep trouble for now or be held under a microscope compared to their glory days from the 70's and 80's? Louis C.K. says hello, BTW. 1990's-early 2000's Carlin was mostly just a bitter, angry disaffected old man trying to reinvent himself by taking cues from Bill Hicks, Chris Rock and Sam Kinison, especially Hicks and Kinison.

The closest comedic analogy maybe to Carlin or Prior today is IMHO, Dave Chappelle and he's faced far more intense, polarizing scrutiny then those other two ever did in their heyday.

In this of all months, I can’t believe you’re trying to mount this argument

Sure in entertainment women and other sentient beings have gotten enough power to hold some bad actors accountable
But that is a segment of society

I really want you to drill down on current events and really pause before typing your response

I do drill down quite a bit on current events and yes, I do know that is only a segment of society that can get some bad actors be held accountable. I'm not stupid and I'm not naive and I wish the great, happy world you want really existed but sometimes, you go after those you can get because realistically, some abusers, molesters are far more powerful and harder to bring down then others due to power, money and class interests. You go after and bring down who you can and yes, you call it a victory when it happens no matter small because that celebrity like Danny Masterson won't be able to use his status to hurt people anymore. It took decades to bring down Bill Cosby and maybe he won't die in prison like many believe he should, but his once-spotless reputation is destroyed. Same thing applied to O.J. Simpson too.

I'm a cynic but I'm also a realist at the same time because I realize what kind of brutal, cruel world we really live in and you take the wins where you can.

And honestly FWIW, are you really going to try and tell me that in the last 15 years of his life, George Carlin didnt come across as some bitter, cynical crotchety old man who revamped his shtick and routine from newer comics like Sam Kinison or Bill Hicks. He hardly had the same wit, intelligence, sensible humor that defined his 1970's and 80's stand-up specials and routines.

I’m wondering what Stephen A. Smith thinks of all this?

She's accused of plotting to accuse a dude she was sleeping with to further her career of sexual assault after he was no longer useful.

If true, Joy Taylor is just as much of a monster as anyone else in this story.

Hey, hey Skip? I'll put a bag over my head if you want.

After pondering this topic further, Skip Bayless having $1.5 milly to burn on one encounter makes me feel very poor.

Honestly I will never understand where money comes from

Honestly I will never understand where money comes from

It goes all the way back to the very early Bronze Ages, if not the Neolithic (new Stone Age) period which began with the end of the last major ice age about 10,000 years ago when global temperatures began warming up and glacial features began retreating allowing Cro-Magnums (early form of Homo Sapiens Sapiens) to begin gradually moving away from constant, nomadic hunter-gatherer societies to small-scale agricultural agrarian communities, then to "proto-cities", then small and large city-states with different cultures and civilizations and respective languages and isogesis/exogesis or etymologies (origin myths). Personally, before their were actual, tended currency that began in the Bronze Age, their were sort of crude barter-economies, or " barter systems" that likely existed for thousands of years between Neanderthals and Cro-Magnums hunter-gatherer tribes during the Ice Ages. SystemShock would know a lot more about this then I would as an archeologist or anthropologist or has studied it more extensively then I have but before their was actual money, Guido, there was a unofficial, sort of official bartering system.

That was indeed "money" before money if that fits your description. While "proto-cities" may have had their origins in the late Neolithic period, organized populated cities as we know them, Guido, began in the Bronze Age. Like Damascus is truly one of the world's oldest cities, even in Biblical times, most people in surrounding regions or in other kingdoms knew it was several thousand years old. I've heard Jerusalem, while not nearly as old as Damascus, might be around 4,500-5,000 years old according to some archeologists, genealogists, or classicists I've read.

That’s what money used to be
This is like magic that no one really knows the tricks but every now and then and then someone pulls a rabbit out of a hat
