This would still end in Nash being compensated, just not for the $50M she is asking for. picked by bernardblack 2 months ago 0 comments edit related share plime.com |

If you spend as much time on YouTube as we -- unfortunately -- do, you're going to see a lot of monkeys doing a lot of stuff. But as our quest continued, we came to a humbling conclusion.
