Jamie Foxx explains how Samuel L. Jackson talked Leonardo DiCaprio through saying the n-word on the Django Unchained set “Even for Leo, it was tough because Leo had to say nigger a whole lot. And Leo, his best friend is Q-Tip.” "But you know why that's tough too? Because...

🚨 Leonardo DiCaprio almost walked away from a scene in Django Unchained because he couldn’t say the “N” word. “The subject matter, the N-word… Leo had a hard time saying the N-word,” Jamie Foxx said. “We’re doing a read, and Leo says, ‘And then he’s… hey man, hey guys, cut. I just can’t do this. This is not me.’” That’s when Samuel L. Jackson jumped in: “Say that sh*t, motherf**er! It’s just another Tuesday. F* ’em!” Foxx told him, “Leo, in slavery days, we would never talk to each other. So I’m not your friend. You won’t be able to play that character unless you really understand what slavery was about. It was tough, it was horrific.” Foxx revealed that the next day, Leonardo DiCaprio came to the set prepared & didn't break his character at all, “I see Leo, he walks in. I said, ‘Leo, what’s up? L? L, what’s up?’ He don’t speak to me.” “Ready.”

Samuel L. Jackson says the studio was trying to turn Snakes on a Plane (2006) into a PG 13 movie until he stepped in and demanded to say “motherf*cker.” “They were trying to make a PG 13 movie and you can only have like one fck or some sht like that in it.” “And I told them, ‘Look, I gotta say motherf*cker in this movie.’” “It’s like… there’s motherf*cking snakes all over this plane.” Jackson also nearly quit when the studio temporarily renamed the movie “Terror on Flight 272.” “If it’s not Snakes on a Plane, I’m not shooting an inch of this f*cking movie, I’ll go home right now.”

Samuel L. Jackson says Quentin Tarantino originally didn’t want to tell him he wasn’t playing Django. “He sent me the script without telling me I wasn’t going to be Django.” “He just said, ‘Read it. The character is Stephen.’” “I called him back and said, ‘So you want me to play the most despicable Black man in the history of cinema?’” “He said, ‘Well… yeah.’” “I told him, ‘Okay, let’s do it.’” “He actually toned Stephen down because he said, ‘I don’t want anybody to kill you.’” “People call Quentin racist because of his scripts.” “But every character he’s written for me has been intelligent, respected, and in control.” “It would be impossible for a racist to consistently write characters like that for me.”

BREAKING NEWS: Trump announces economic plan. “So there are some of the most brilliant people in Wall Street that are saying that if President Trump doesn't win, you're going to have a depression. I have to agree. I think that's true. Because I know how bad these people are. You know, they like to say that they did this and that. You saw the seven trillion that they said it was me for seven trillion. It wasn't me. It was them. They said that I had inflation. They took over 9% in inflation. No, no, I had 1% inflation. I had actually no inflation because if you look at the categories, we had just about no inflation. But I had a very minor-- I actually had a positive inflation. It was a perfect number. Because you don't want zero. I mean, I'm not going to give you a whole course on economics. But you don't want zero. 1% 1.4% is great. You want a little bit because you don't want to have deflation. Deflation is, in many ways, even worse. I had a perfect number right around the 1% number. It was perfect. And to show you, it stayed there for two years. And then he did all of the different borrowings that he did. And then he did so many things wrong. Every time he would do it, I'd say big mistake. And don't forget they sell hats. And they sell stories. Trump was right about everything. I happened right about a lot.”

Bill Maher reveals why flying private has become frustrating Bill: "It became, first of all, too many crypto guys with too much money chasing too few jets. I never bought. I didn't want to own one. That's right." "Because then everything is your problem. You have to hire the pilots and keep them on. You have to get a hangar. You have to do the landing, right? I was like, 'No, the maintenance, the whole thing.'" "Yes. Let me just add, this happened a few times. If you're renting it and it doesn't work on the runway, which happened more and more—it's one reason I'm stopping—more and more there was the, 'There's something wrong with the computer.' Like, they will get you another plane." Byron: "Not as pretty. Not as good." Bill: "Or better." Bill: "Or better. I was once halfway to Florida, problem. Flew all the way back to LA and they had a much bigger, faster plane waiting for me. That's the advantage over not having your plane. As most of you people listening know, if there's one thing I tell the young comedians, relate to your audience. Do things they can relate to, for God's sakes." Byron: "Don't go out there and do the first half hour about your private jet." Bill: "But it's true. Too many crypto guys chasing too many jets." Byron: "Yeah." Bill: "Too many, like, the number of times there was, 'Oh, there's a problem,' just increased. I don't know why that is. I don't know if the jets got worse or maybe it was just people who are stoned who are working in this industry. I don't know. But I never had a good feeling even about the private jet, like, is there going to be some problem today?"

Jason Sudeikis says tipping culture has gotten out of hand where you're an asshole for tipping 10% Benny: “When you're tipping at a restaurant, it's an interesting world to be in” Jason: “How do you do the math for 12%” Kristin: “I get too scared to do anything other than 20% or above” Benny: “You know what the worst thing is. When it's an automatic gratuity at 18%, because then you're like, how do I even add a percentage? Then I'm like, oh, it's too low” Dicky: “He criticizes me for tipping 20%” Jason: “Instead of what?” Dicky: “30% 35%” Jason: “I don't think it teaches anything, tipping poorly. Because if someone is not good, like a waiter or waitress at a diner type place, and they're just brusque and not checked in, and you wanted to be there for 45 minutes, but you were there for an hour and a half because they were just not there. But if you only tipped 10%, they're only going to walk away from there going, ‘What an asshole,’ versus if you're going to tip 10%, I think you got to give a note saying, ‘I normally tip more, but you were so...’ or say it to them”

Ansem explains why you need a long-term outlook in crypto “Crypto is so volatile that if you get too caught up in the day-to-day price action and you don't have a strong thesis on why this shit actually matters long-term, you're gonna get fucked over” “You're never gonna really make money in these markets. You're just not. It's because it's way too hard to trade them. It's too volatile” “So if you have like an extended picture, you can zoom out and you can DCA” “That's also I think why you should be able to sell on the way up at the top because you know how volatile this shit gets” “Like, okay, maybe in five to seven years it's just gonna be up infinite but this year it may go down 70%. So okay, maybe I'll take some profits”

Quentin Tarantino says actors aren’t hired to rewrite scripts, they’re hired to deliver them. “Actors aren't there to riff, they're there to say my dialogue, and if their riffing actually happens to be genius, I will just take credit for it” “Uma Thurman once perfectly said that when actors improvise anything beyond basic filler words or cusses, that is called writing, and that is not what you hire an actor to do” “The one exception is Samuel L. Jackson because he is a terrific writer in character who knows how his roles should talk, but he still loves tackling my exact words”

Wake One is incredibly lucky to have Leo 🫠. I’m not saying this just because he’s my bias, but because Leo has a deep knowledge of music. He has friendships with producers and strong experience in that field, and I know this will help the group a lot throughout these six years. If Wake One doesn’t clip Leo’s wings when it comes to production, ALD1 will have a very promising future.

They killed our son Scott Adams “At some point, there'll be a healthy number of Democrats who realized that they were on the side of killing an innocent man, and then they're going to find out that he was nothing like they thought. And this will be one of the biggest mistakes of humanity. It's one thing to kill somebody because you're going to get something out of it. This was not that.

You had one f**king job and one f**king job only. You couldn't even do that sh*t. You said, oh, uh, we watched you on the show when you told that man, he said, have you been to the border?

We, the people, right here in the United motherf**king states of a goddamn America. So you need to go close that motherfucking border and stop letting all these illegal people in.

it's painful to notice how different he is right now. Leo used to shine with certainty, in the way his confidence used to come so naturally. Watching him grow more cautious, quick to blame himself, and the instinct to apologize first says a lot about what he’s been carrying. Heeseung and Leo were both known for talent from the start, they know each other for so long... that’s exactly why Heeseung asked why he changed so much… and sangwon definitely noticed that too, because when you’ve seen someone at their brightest, the shift is impossible to ignore. leo you're breaking my heart..

BREAKING: Trump just told the voters of North Carolina that there won't be another debate with Kamala Harris because voting has already begun, and the only reason she wants to do it is because she knows she's LOSING "She's done one debate. I've done two. It's too late to do another. I'd love to in many ways, but it's too late." After the debate, they activated the Taylor Swift endorsement because they knew she had lost. I bet she was supposed to be their big October surprise. Now they want another one because the real polls show her losing by a lot.

It was Source Music company dinner. That's why i left quickly. I told them in advance that i would finish late, i told them i have a recording. So i filmed it and then ran over there, because if i were too late..anyway, it wouldn't matter if it were just with the members, but since staffs were there too, so i had to go (what if) they keep waiting because of me. It's not that there's something, it's just a company dinner. Anyway, that's what happened. They bought us delicious meal. No, but don't expect it to be like a good sign, it's just a company dinner.

Tim Connelly when asked about staying beneath the 2nd apron next season... "I think optimally you can dip your toe in (to the 2nd apron) but you don't want to be there too consistently, because it gets so punitive. It's not just super expensive... but it's so restrictive with deal-making. So how can we insure that we're as nimble as possible? I wouldn't say it's a steadfast 'we're definitely going to be out of it'. But if we're gonna be in it, we're gonna be in it for a good reason."

James Dyson’s advice for founders: “You have to enjoy failure” “If you are exploring new territory, experimenting, and trying to do something different, you’re going to fail many times and you’ve got to bounce back from it,” James Dyson explains. The billionaire inventor argues that you should actually learn to enjoy failure: “Failure is so much more interesting than success — the reason something goes wrong is often very interesting whereas if works you just say ‘great that works’ and don’t even stop to wonder why it works. You’ve got to learn to enjoy failure. That sounds like a difficult thing to do, but you have to enjoy failure if you want to improve things.” He continues: “It always saddens me that school doesn’t really teach that. At school or university, the thing is to be brilliant and get the answer right the first time. There are brilliant people who can do that, but for the rest of us, we’re not brilliant and to get there we have to strive and go through failure. You don’t get it right the first time. You don’t get it right the second time. In my case, and I counted it, it was 5,127 times . . . That sounds like struggle and it was a struggle, but it was a hugely enjoyable struggle. The debt was mounting, and I had three children, a wife, a home, and a mortgage to pay like everybody else, but I had a real aim in life and I had to get there. And the failures were interesting because I learned from almost every single one of them.” James Dyson concludes his autobiography by saying: "Listen, it's easy for me to celebrate my doggedness now. I made $300 million last year, but I'd be lying to you if there weren't times where I went inside my house, had my wife look at me like I'm a failure, and cry myself to sleep. I got up and did it again anyway because excellence is the capacity to take pain.” Video source: David Senra (2025)

The billionaire inventor argues that you should actually learn to enjoy failure: “Failure is so much more interesting than success — the reason something goes wrong is often very interesting whereas if works you just say ‘great that works’ and don’t even stop to wonder why it works. You’ve got to learn to enjoy failure. That sounds like a difficult thing to do, but you have to enjoy failure if you want to improve things.” He continues: “It always saddens me that school doesn’t really teach that. At school or university, the thing is to be brilliant and get the answer right the first time. There are brilliant people who can do that, but for the rest of us, we’re not brilliant and to get there we have to strive and go through failure. You don’t get it right the first time. You don’t get it right the second time. In my case, and I counted it, it was 5,127 times . . . That sounds like struggle and it was a struggle, but it was a hugely enjoyable struggle. The debt was mounting, and I had three children, a wife, a home, and a mortgage to pay like everybody else, but I had a real aim in life and I had to get there. And the failures were interesting because I learned from almost every single one of them.” James Dyson concludes his autobiography by saying: "Listen, it's easy for me to celebrate my doggedness now. I made $300 million last year, but I'd be lying to you if there weren't times where I went inside my house, had my wife look at me like I'm a failure, and cry myself to sleep. I got up and did it again anyway because excellence is the capacity to take pain.” Video source: David Senra (2025)

James Cameron almost fired Leonardo DiCaprio from Titanic because he was too cocky. Leo insisted not to do screen test on camera. He said “I don’t read.” “I shook his hand and said, ‘Thanks for coming by.” “This is a giant movie that is going to take two years of my life, and you’ll be gone doing five other things while I’m doing post-production. So, I’m not going to f*ck it up by making the wrong decision in casting. So, you’re going to read, or you’re not going to get the part.'
