andrewl923 01/30/21 1:20:36 AM #1:	Dude smugly said he's gonna buy 5x the donation amount he gets on his live show, but he underestimate how much his viewer is willing spend money to troll him. He had to cap the donation at $10K since that's $50K. He only expected to spend a total of $5K. Best part is when he called his wife on air.

Then he calls his wife on air to tell her he sold right at the squeeze and made 5x. --- If you don't want to argue about something, take the initiative and stfu.
