I had to go back here...
On one of our biz programs, there's a panel discussing none other than our favorite little prince and The Witch.
One commented "they're no longer Royals, but they're royal pains in the ass".
Another commented about them getting canned from their podcast deal, where the CEO of Spotify (I think it was Spotify) called them 'ephing grifters' (using the proper word, of course). That was literally the CEO of the company who cancelled their $20 million contract saying that.
Then another panelist called them "lazy dirtbags".
This is 100% true...and I completely agree.
I did a search to make sure I'd heard correctly:
“I wish I had been involved in the ‘Meghan and Harry leave Spotify’ negotiation,” he said on The Bill Simmons Podcast on Friday. “‘The F—ing Grifters.’ That’s the podcast we shoulda launched with them. I gotta get drunk one night and tell the story of the Zoom I had with Harry to try and help him with a podcast idea. It’s one of my best stories. F–k them. The grifters.”
Oh, apparently Bill Simmons is the head of podcasting at Spotify, or something like that...
How they first met: Harry saw a photo of Meghan with the Snapchat dog filter on, and he was besotted.
Whoa...
Apparently Bill Simmons is a major league hitter in the podcast world. After getting to know them, he said he 'HATES' Harry and The Witch...'they're useless grifters who have nothing to offer the world'. There are a ton of juicy quotes from an audio interview.
I didn't have to look this up, it was served to me on a news channel, and I didn't ask to hear it.
Makes me feel warm all over to hear this.
I don't know if you have the same expression in the U.S. doggy - "They are not worth their salt".
I have never heard 'grifter' before you brought it up.
We share the same expression about not being worth one's salt.
I have learned from this board and my Welsh pal in Spain that there are many more that we don't share than we do...or so it seems.
The first time I interacted with somebody from Scotland I could not understand what he was saying. I asked him where he was from, to which he replied "I'm Scooootish....I'm Scooootish. It took me a moment to figure that much out, let alone anything else he said.
Doggy, The Glaswegian (Glasgow) Scottish speak with a very strong local accent, they have a great sense of humour and were typically raised in very tough neighbourhoods, the local industry was previously one of ship-building (The Clyde). They have both Catholic and Protestant backgrounds.
The people in Edinburgh do not have a strong accent and sound like rather polite English speakers.
I wouldn't like to pick a fight with a tough Glaswegian, better to mind your manners and yet they have a soft underbelly.
Tricky,
Thinking back several years, the guy from "Scoootlund" was very friendly, and he looked like the sort one would want on one's side in a bar fight.
