Travis Kalanick on being ousted from Uber: “you definitely shouldn’t raise from Benchmark Capital” "I got to first shoot the arrow, which is you definitely shouldn't raise from Benchmark Capital. Got to get that out there.” “Where did it get weird? 2017 was my problem year. And Benchmark was...

Total lie. He was pushed out because he was running Uber how he saw fit. Sexual harassment complaints weren’t getting investigated. Governance issues. I see he still has not grown up. I have tons of respect for Travis and what he’s built at Uber and now Atoms but he’s such a wrecking ball. How can you run a company when the CEO can turn on a dime and go bat shit crazy? I couldn’t be happier with Dara at the helm. He’s calm, cool and collected, if Travis was the CEO today he’d be going at it daily on X with Uber bears.

This is fucking retarded. He was pushed out because he ran an elementary school corporate env that became a liability not because of whatever this fanfic was he’s telling himself

Still a successful company for a moment in time. But only TK had the autonomy vision. They squeezed dollars out of it and made money but the exact opposite of what a VC is expected to be. No vision.

There’s parts of truth to this but it’s also true that Travis was an immature clown at times too.

It would be good for this speaking openly about how VCs behave to become the new normal. It would help to level the power dynamic. Clearly this starts with the people like Travis who can and will speak out, more should do so..

Silicon Valley simps are really bending over backwards to rewrite history on @travisk’s behalf. Maybe — just maybe — people thought a coke head who enabled a toxic culture of hazing and sexual harassment wasn’t fit to lead a multi-billion-dollar company?

Travis Kalanick reveals Bill Gurley pressured him to take a $6 billion valuation. Two months later, he raised at $17.5 billion. "Gurley was convinced it was the end of the world and we've got to raise, and just take your first term sheet, just f*cking take it." "We got to a place where I just wouldn't talk to him. If he reached out to me, I would talk to him, but I just wouldn't try to engage because it was always that. So Emil Michael would handle this part. He would handle a lot of the investor relations." "Anyways, two months later, we got a round done at a $17.5 billion pre." "We were already planning IPO stuff. [Benchmark Capital] didn't know it. But they also never expressed the desire to be like, 'Hey, dude, you gotta IPO.' It was never brought up." "If you think the world's about to end and you've got this thing that's worth a ton of money, you could get to a weird place. Especially when you're a VC, you don't have any control. You're not running anything. So now your entire outcome in life is due to this guy." "You could get into a place where you're running a war room to destroy him. And that's kind of what happened."

Rob Gronkowski says Tom Brady refused to leave a fourth-quarter blowout against the coach's wishes so he could throw Gronk the 55th catch that triggered a $500,000 bonus "It was the third quarter, we were up like 35–0, so they pulled the starters. But Tampa's cool. They want you to make all the possible money that you can make." "Our offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich always said in the meeting, there's two things that you take away from football in the end: it's your relationships and it's the money that you make." "Those are the two things that stick with you forever. And he says, 'If we're up, obviously the most important thing is to win the game, but if we're up and you need an extra catch, we're going to get you that extra catch. We're going to get you that money.'" "Tom was like, 'Hey, we got to get one more catch.' We drew a play right on the sideline. 'Hey Rob, motion across, you're just going to run a diagonal, I'm going to hit you.' And boom… I actually did an illegal motion, but they didn't call it because the game was way out of reach. That was my 55th catch to hit my last incentive in my contract."

Selena Gomez reveals how Benny Blanco proposed to her. “I thought we had a shoot that day, so I had hair and makeup done, and I was just going about my regular day. I got into the car, and I was thinking to myself, ‘Where are we going?’ Because at that point, I felt like I knew all the studios I usually go to” “It was just me and my security guard, and he was laughing because he was just like, ‘I don’t know. It’s a new space’” “We got out. I walked in, and all of a sudden, I saw no one in the room. I looked at my assistant, and she just shut the door. And I was like, ‘Uhhh…’” “I think you envision all the things you would do and say when someone proposes to you. But it is actually the craziest feeling. It was really special” “He said the sweetest things, but I was so shocked that it just felt unreal for a long time. I’ve always dreamed of that moment, and he couldn’t have made it more perfect. It was one of the best days of my life, for sure”

PRX coaching staff alecks and Wendler reflect on what made it so difficult to get things going against NS RedForce: alecks: "They're very good, pretty much. I think they had a very good game plan on Split and we had no answer for it and I think that was the main issue. Corrode, I think we probably should have closed it out if we did a little bit better on certain rounds, but it is what it is. Sometimes you don't win crucial rounds and these things happen. But on Abyss, we knew it was going to be a tough match regardless. I think we had like 10 hours to prepare, so it wasn't the best, but we tried our best and I think Nongshim is a great team. I think they play very, very, very well together and we played against them for a long, long time, so we already knew that they were very, very good, so we're not really too bummed about it." Wendler: "I'd probably say the same. I think Corrode just got away from us at the end and we just lost a little bit of confidence going into map two. And when you give a team like Nongshim that type of space to just ramp up their confidence, it's really hard to come back from. We've seen them do that to plenty of teams this tournament. So we tried to do what we could to stall them out. We just ran out of gas." (via Pedro Romero)

Wiz Khalifa says he rewrote his second verse for “See You Again” after Paul Walker's death, just one week before Furious 7 was released “It was right when he passed. He was filming for the movie, and they were like, ‘Something happened. We need to do a whole little redirection, and you're going to be a part of that” “So they're like, ‘This is the last scene of the movie. He's in the movie, but we're generating his face on a couple scenes. And this is going to be one of them where it's going to be him riding off into the sunset, but it's going to represent his departure’” “But by the time the movie had come out, it was like a week before the movie came out, they were like, ‘We need to finish the song, and we're going to shoot the video, and we just want you and Charlie Puth on there. Everybody else we don't want, so you need to write another verse.’ So I quickly came in there. I watched the scene, because I already did the first verse just based off what they told me it was going to be like. Then for the second verse, they were like watch the scene and write it based off that” “I watched the scene, wrote my verse real quick, recorded it, we shot the video the next week, and then it comes out with the movie. It's just supposed to be a soundtrack song, but as soon as it got on the radio, it went number one and stayed there for like 12 or 13 weeks. I never knew it was going to do all of that at all” “It's unfortunate that Paul Walker lost his life, and his legacy is always going to live on. I met his family and they loved it. But I think ‘See You Again’ connects because you can tell everybody goes through those losses, and you can feel that in those verses. I've taken losses, and I've personally felt what that feels like. So to be able to channel that through the music, tell his story, help his legacy live on, and also connect with other people who go through similar things, that was my main goal. That's what I knew I could do through my personal experiences, and I'm glad that the world”

President Trump to WHCA president/CBS correspondent Weijia Jiang Jiang: “We'll do a couple, and then we go to the chief – Madam Chairman, I just want to say you did a fantastic job. What a beautiful evening. And we're going to reschedule. [APPLAUSE] And after that, it's very tough for her to ask a killer question. Right. But you have done a fantastic job. Please. Jiang: “Mr. President, I appreciate it. As you mentioned, it all happened so quickly and I wonder, especially because unfortunately you have experience with these sorts of threats in that moment when you realize there was a threat and Service agents were telling us to get down. Can you describe what was going through your mind, how you were feeling in that moment? Trump: “It's a very good question, actually. It was -- it's always shocking when something like this happens. It happened to me a little bit and that never changes. The fact we're sitting right next to each other, the First Lady on my right, and I heard a noise and sort of thought it was a tray. I thought it was a tray going down. I've heard that many times, and it was pretty loud noise, and it was from quite far away. He hadn't breached the area at all. They really got him, but – so it was quite far away. But it was a gun. And some people really understood that pretty quickly. Other people didn't. I was watching to see what was happening. Probably should have gone down even faster. Melania was very cognizant, I think, of what happened. I think she knew immediately what happened. She was saying, that's a bad noise. And, we were whisked away along with other people, but we were really whisked away. And again, the performance of the secret service and the police, all of the law enforcement, I thought was really good. So, it was very quick. There wasn't a lot of time to be thinking, because it was a matter of seconds before we were out the door and gone into an area we very much. And you wanted to too – you very much wanted to continue it because I don't like to let these sick people, these thugs, these horrible, horrible people change the fabric of our life, change the course of what we do. So, we held out. You were there. We held out right till the end. But they didn't want to take a chance. And I understand it was protocol, but we're going to be doing one hopefully within the next 30 days or sooner. And I am ready, willing and able. And I was all set to really rip it. And I said to my people, this would be the most inappropriate speech ever made if I said – so I'll have to save it. I don't know if I can ever be as rough as I was going to be tonight. I think I'm going to be probably very nice. I'll be very boring the next time, but we're going to have a great event. And you did a fantastic job. Thank you very much.”

🗣️ Immediate reaction from LIV Golf UK presented by JCB champion, Lucas Herbert: JERRY: I don't know where to begin. I don't know what I just saw. Was there a consistent theme to the internal dialogue that led to this kind of performance this week? What were you thinking? HERBERT: I don't know. I think last week gave me a lot of confidence that I can mix it with the best guys. Just wanted to really carry that into this week the best I could. I think I got out of my own way the first two rounds and I started thinking about it yesterday. Yeah, it was just good to play like that today when I was being pushed by two of the best players in the world. JERRY: I remember vividly following you when you won your first event on the PGA TOUR in Bermuda. On that final hole, you were visibly nervous on your second shot. You looked like you were immune to nerves all week long. How does that come about? HERBERT: I think it was a bit of a trick in hiding it. I was definitely feeling it out there. I can only do what I can do. I was able to take care of what I needed to do today pretty well to get me over the line. I knew it wasn't going to be a day where even par, 1-under was going to get it done for me. I knew I had to go out there and get it. Just kept pushing myself the whole way, and here we are JERRY: Did you ever hit some shots, notably the bunker shot in addition to so many others this week, where you just shook your head, like, I can't believe how good this is going? HERBERT: There's definitely a lot of shots -- I can think of the first shot on 10, I kind of pull one, and you're asking for it to get a good lie in the hay, lands in the rough and kicks all the way down there, you get on the green and make eagle. It was one of those weeks, just when you needed a good break. I think of the 6th hole today up the hill, the par-5, it finishes half a foot inside the short stuff and I can get it greenside. I'm looking at the lie, a foot right of that, and it could have been a load of trouble. I played great this week, but also, I got a lot of good breaks, which is really nice. It's good to take advantage of those when they come. #LIVGolfUK | Ripper GC

.Ben Lerer describes how chasing VC money took the joy out of running one of his early businesses: "Our first few years, we were profitable and stayed small. It was amazing. We had a small community of people that were diehard and advertisers who really felt the needle move, and it was wonderful." "What happened was: the space got attention from big VCs. People wanted to get in on the gold rush. A bunch of people raised a bunch of money, and I was one of them. The idea was - you have to grow into those valuations." "They were not fatal mistakes, but they were ultimately the thing that took a lot of the joy out of the business. We got obsessed with figuring out - how do you keep growing and how do you keep doubling year over year." "The way to do it right is to do what you love and stay relatively small and build a real community-based thing."

NBC’s Gabe Gutierrez: “One on Iran and one on Cuba. Is Iran now bigger foreign policy priority for you than China and on Cuba — the Cuban government —” President Trump: “Iran is just a military operation. To me, Iran is something that was essentially largely over in two or three days because the Navy was wiped out almost immediately. The air force came next, the anti-aircraft came next. I mean, we're flying over Iran. We could take out their electric capacity in one hour. We have all the there's nothing they can do right now because everything is knocked out. They have no — again, no radar, no anti-aircraft. They have nothing, and we don't — and it was a decision I made. We discussed it. Pete, Marco, JD all of us, Chris. We discussed it. We can knock out their electricity in a matter of minutes if we wanted to. There's nothing they can do about it. We can knock out their oil in Kharg Island. The only thing we didn't take down was the oil. Because if we knock out, I call them the pipes. Very complex. But if you do that, it will take them forever to rebuild, meaning whoever — and hopefully it's a sane group of people, but whoever it is, it's going to be running that, and we're going to try to get people that are going to run it well. And you know, it's going to be a prosperous, wonderful place. It used to be, you know, if you go back, it used to be a very — the people are great. The people are smart and energetic and it used to be very successful. Now, it's a country run by fear. It's a country where they tell protesters, don't go outside, because if you do, we're going to kill you....Well, Cuba right now is in very bad shape. They're talking to Marco, and we'll be doing something with Cuba very soon. We're really focused on this, but we're dealing with Cuba. Marco, do you want to say a couple of words about it?” Secretary of State Rubio: “Yeah. I mean, Cuba has an economy that doesn't work and a political and governmental system. They can't fix it. It's not dramatic enough. It's not going to fix it, so they've got some big decisions to make over there.” Gutierrez: “But Secretary — Secretary Rubio, do you support and I know this is up to Congress, but do you support easing the Cuban trade embargo if you get more cooperation from Havana?” Rubio: “Well, I'm not going to discuss what we would talk about or not. Suffice it to say that the embargo is tied to political change on the island. The law has been the embargo is codified. And — but the bottom line is their economy doesn't work. It's a nonfunctional economy. It's an economy that has survived. It's for 40 — that revolution — it's not even a revolution, that thing they have — has survived on subsidies from the Soviet Union and now from Venezuela. They don't get subsidies anymore, so they're in a lot of trouble. And the people in charge are — they don't know how to fix it, so they have to get new people in charge. That's what happened.” Trump: “And the relationship we have with Venezuela has been, I think you could almost say, incredible. It's been really good. It's been good for Venezuela and it's been good for us. And I congratulate the Venezuelan baseball team because that was a big — that was a big win. And I guess they play another game tonight in the finals.” Rubio: “Against the U.S.” Trump: “And I said a lot of good things have happened to Venezuela lately. This is the first time they've ever been in the finals, and it was pretty exciting.

"At school or university, the thing is to be brilliant and to get the answer right first time. And 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 we have to go through failure. And we realize that you don't get it right first time, you don't get it right second time. In my case, and I counted it, it's 5,127 times. One of the things I always want to say is that sounds like a struggle. It was a struggle, but actually it was a hugely enjoyable struggle. The debt was mounting and I had three children, a wife and a home, and then a mortgage to pay, like everybody else. But I had a real point in life, I had a real aim and I had to get there. And the failures were interesting because I'd learned from every single one of them."

Speedy: “Do you think the Knicks would’ve won the chip if you were playing?” Tyrese Haliburton: (Long pause. Shrugs, shakes head) I don't know bro. I mean, do I think if I was healthy & we played them, would we win? Of course. I'm an NBA player. I'm a competitor. Anybody else in my situation would say the same thing. But what they did in the playoffs was special. I don't want to demean or put down what that was, cause that was crazy. The whole run from the Hawks series on was unbelievable. And it was mixed feelings, you know, because the Knicks are they our rival? Yes. But are those guys—like I like those guys and like they're friends? Yeah. At the same time, you know. “Like I usually watch a Finals celebration—like I have before in my life—I always got to watch cause that's a special thing and an emotional thing to watch guys win a championship and then celebrate with their families. I'm always like, ‘man, that's fire.’ But when the Knicks won I thought to myself, ‘I got to turn this sht off.’ Like I can't—I can't watch it. But, you know, I told myself because I was at—I was with wife & some friends and they were like ‘You want us to turn it off?’ And I was like ‘you know what? Leave it on. Like, let me watch it.’ And to see like Jalen celebrate with Ali, his wife, who—me & my wife are friends with them, and Ali & Jalen, really close. To see that, I was like, that's awesome to see. You know what I mean? Like, I was happy for him. To see Josh up there with his twins. That was cool to see. To see Karl up there with Jordyn. That was awesome to see cause these are all guys that I like. You know what I'm saying? So, it's a weird feeling cause are they our rivals? Yes. And people are going to hear this, this clip's going to go and they're going to be like ‘Man, the NBA's so soft. It's not what it used to be,’ yada yada. Sure. But like when I see them, when they see me on the court, it's smoke. They don't want—they—we hate each other when we're playing, but like after that, it's love. So it was interesting. It was like a weird feeling. I feel like I felt every emotion. I was angry. But I was also happy. I was sad that like I didn't get the opportunity to compete in that. I felt every emotion in that. So, it was like a weird—a weird thing—but happy for those guys, and I look forward to being back”

😑 “You know, when I did the 250, there was nothing I could do. It was 250. It was 250. So I can't see -- that was my baby. The country happened to be 250 years old. But what I did do is during my first term, I got the Olympics, and I got the Great Soccer. You know that whole deal, right? I got -- we call it soccer. They call it football. I got them both. I got the Olympics. First, I got the Olympics, and I got it. I was president. And I said, you know, it's a shame. It's a shame. I got the World Cup, and I have the Olympics, and I did it. And you have no idea. President Obama didn't want to make a call to the Olympics. You know why? Because he went to Switzerland or wherever, and he said, you know, if a president goes to get the Olympics, you have to have a deal. You have to be chosen. He went there, and he came in fourth, so he hated them, I guess. And he was unwilling to make a call, and they called me up. The Democrats called me up, actually, from Los Angeles, and I said, I'll do it. I made the call, and I couldn't get the people off the phone because they were so starved for love, because nobody would call them from -- anyway, we made a deal. I got the Olympics. Then we got the World Cup with Johnny. We got the World Cup, and I got them both, and I looked at my people. I said, isn't it a shame? I got these two, but it wasn't in the next four years. It was right after that, and the one after that. And I got the Olympics, and I got the World Cup, and we also have 250, so that's a pretty wild term. But I got these two things that are incredible. Nobody else could have done it. I'm telling you, everybody wanted it. Nobody could have done it. And I said, and I won't be president, because I'll be president for four more years, but it won't be -- and then they cheated and rigged the election. They rigged -- you know, they don't even turn off the cameras when I say that now, because now they know it's true, too. But they knew it was true before. Remember, the cameras used to immediately turn off. You see all those beautiful red lights go off. Now I can say whatever I want, because then they know it's true. But they knew it was true before. It's fake news. That's why they call it. But you know what? This term is much more consequential than if I had done it the more traditional way. This was slightly harder, believe me. It's slightly more dangerous, because they're criminals on the other side that tried to put your president in jail and went after him, just like they do in third-world countries. And we all beat em together. We beat em because our level of popularity was so high.”

KAT when asked what it's like being the best 3PT shooter ever for a big man: "It's an honor. I worked on my game. When I was younger, that wasn't something that was supposed to happen. You're laughed at. You're told, What are you doing? You're wasting your time. You're never going to make it to college doing that. A lot of people are going to tell you no, what they think you need to do to make it to the NBA, to do all these things. But at the end of the day, you got to walk on your own path, write your own story. And that's what I did. I continue to work on my game, continue to work on my shot. People come back to me and give me all the congrats and congratulations and all this love for something they didn't help with; they told me to do the opposite. So that's how life always goes. Everyone got an opinion until someone actually does the work. Us two, we did the work, and they're going to have to watch our story be written without them having a chapter in it"

James McAvoy says he was nearly cast in Harry Potter as Tom Riddle but turned down a £40,000 retainer "I was nearly in Harry Potter. I can probably say this one" "This the very first movie, I think it was, and it was, um, it was... was it Tom Riddle? In the first one, right, in the very first one, but he's like in it for like a scene." "It was a flashback or something like that." "They had, I seem to remember it was right at the beginning of my career, I auditioned for it, and I think they wanted to put me on a retainer." "They offered me something like, it was crazy, I'd hardly done any work, and me and I think maybe 10 other actors or something like that." "They wanted to put us on a retainer so that they could hold us and keep us to choose later who it would be. It was a really strange thing." "They offered quite a lot of money for me at that time. It was a ton of money, it was like £40,000 or something like that. And I'd done very little work, and I wouldn't be able to do any work for about seven months, I think it was." "And I said to my agent, what do you think? And Ruth Young, who's been my agent since, well, for what is it, 24 years at least, 25 maybe, she was like, absolutely not, don't do that." "And she was like, we're going to go and do something else and I ended up doing the play that I got booed off, got booed by homophobic gentlemen, 'Out in the Open'" "I did that instead, and got paid, I think, £275 a week. But it was part of the making of me, and I actually got an acting workout, it was actually learning and doing all that."

Mikel Arteta on how he handles transfer speculation with his players: "Very simple. Whatever you read, if you have a question, come and knock on my door and I will tell you whether it is true or not. If we put now the catalogue on all these walls about all the players that we wanted in the last three months, I think we need the whole building to put it on. So I think they know that there's so much speculation with a lot of players. "If ever they feel the doubt of what we think of them and if we're going to recruit a player, I tell them straight away. Normally I do it - so, 'we're going to sign somebody in their position', and normally tell them that these are the plans and these are the reasons why we have the plans. 'We still believe the same in you, but the competition is going to increase.' I prefer to do it that way."

Pete Carroll explains how he responded in real time to the goal-line interception that ended the Seahawks’ Super Bowl “I asked them, 'how many guys think it's the greatest thing in the world to win the superbowl? Raise your hand.' A bunch of them raised their hand. Then I asked, 'how many think it's the greatest thing to come back and win it again?' They didn't know what to do with that..” “Show that you can do it again. Show that you’re real. Show that no matter what happens, you can still be you to the freaking moment.” “You guys were so mad at me. So pissed. Hurt. But that play just happened. It wasn’t by design. There was no foreshadowing. No intent. No agenda. That play just happened.” “We had one timeout. So as soon as we got to the goal line I'm saying, one of these plays, we’re going to have to throw it to get all four plays. I'm always trying to make sure we get all four shots.” “We run the first play, the Patriots were late and sent in the goal line team, we had already sent in '11', so we we're in '11' versus their goal line team. So that went through the play callers thought process. That's what led to throwing it on that down. If we gotta throw one of these downs, so we get all our chances...” “We had practiced it a million times. I was rock solid on the philosophy of it. It wasn’t by design. There was no agenda. It was just the way we had prepared. It was the worst play that could ever happen. It turned all of that so dark, so instantly.” “I thought, ‘I’ve got to take this.’ This is one of those moments that you prepare for. You’ve got to be the epitome of poise. Handle it. Deal with it. Own it.” “There’s nothing you can say that’s going to put it any other place. It was as catastrophic as any moment could be.”

John Lynch explains why the 49ers didn't address the offensive line earlier than the 7th round of the draft: "We we're able to do that with Connor Colby, but there were a number of times that we were interested in adding and it just didn't come our way. And you’ve gotta stay true to where you have guys graded, not take guys just to take them but to take guys that you're interested in at that point. And it just never really aligned. We were happy to add Colby. We think he's a really good scheme fit. Great thing about Iowa is they run a very similar, they run a lot of outside zones, so you get to see a guy like him do things that we do and he does them well. So, we’re happy to add that. But there were a number of times Kyle and I were talking about that at the end that just didn't align, one of those deals and you don't want to force things. So, it wasn't our time for that."

And you’ve gotta stay true to where you have guys graded, not take guys just to take them but to take guys that you're interested in at that point. And it just never really aligned. We were happy to add Colby. We think he's a really good scheme fit. Great thing about Iowa is they run a very similar, they run a lot of outside zones, so you get to see a guy like him do things that we do and he does them well. So, we’re happy to add that. But there were a number of times Kyle and I were talking about that at the end that just didn't align, one of those deals and you don't want to force things. So, it wasn't our time for that."
