00:00:25.600 Dutton Ranch.
00:00:26.640 New series now streaming on Paramount+.
00:00:30.000 Bill Gates plotted to look like Mr. Rogers using customized mannequin
00:00:34.560 to test boring potential outfits, and this is a New York Post story?
00:00:40.280 It was a New York Times magazine.
00:00:42.460 New York Times magazine.
00:00:44.460 Is it a New York Times magazine that New York Post reported on?
00:00:47.320 Let me get to this here.
00:00:48.460 So billionaire Bill Gates devoted a great deal of time and money
00:00:51.520 to try to make himself look kind of approachable as TV Mr. Rogers,
00:00:55.180 with his team even using a custom-sized mannequin
00:00:57.060 to test out boring potential outfits.
00:00:59.400 Gates' team told a way on crafting the nerdy image he's known for today
00:01:03.160 to make the 7-year-old tech mogul appear as a benevolent man
00:01:08.140 focused on helping the world, current and former employees,
00:01:10.980 told the Wall Street Journal.
00:01:11.880 To that end, his stylist tested outfits for different days of the week
00:01:16.040 on the custom mannequin with the team having access to troves
00:01:19.720 of neutral-toned crew and V-neck sweaters, button-down shirts, slacks,
00:01:25.060 and extra pairs of the silver lining opticians.
00:01:28.740 Carbon glasses at an off-site building, the journal said.
00:01:31.820 The outfit was specifically picked for Gates to wear during public events
00:01:34.880 with his employees reportedly sending the billionaire staff three options to choose from.
00:01:39.680 Carefully select a wardrobe, calm and approachable like Fred Rogers.
00:01:43.760 So, Vinny, what is the big deal of the story?
00:01:46.200 Tell me the big deal of the story.
00:01:47.480 Because I'm thinking about it.
00:01:47.880 Imagine you have a team, okay, approving outfits.
00:01:51.760 Even they did a Netflix documentary.
00:01:53.920 they ask producers to edit out moments because he didn't look good in them pat and then you have
00:01:59.140 internal emails that are selling how successful the campaign is because remember i used to make
00:02:03.520 fun besides his voice because i'm a comedian i make fun of his voice that whole light sweater
00:02:08.380 vest with you know the collar underneath it's it's like diffusing you seem like you're a really
00:02:13.340 nice guy and they have a mannequin that's dressing up but and then now you're thinking about it all
00:02:17.280 the stuff that we find out about epstein all the stuff about the stuff with his wife all the stuff
00:02:21.260 that his wife was like oh my god his relationship with uh epstein is why i i you know one of the
00:02:26.200 main reasons why i left him like it's insane to me you're lecturing the world about vaccines
00:02:32.480 about covid about climate change about food systems and ai and how humanity should live and
00:02:38.880 then also complaining that there's too many of us meaning there's too many human beings a lot of us
00:02:44.340 should die and then you're promoting the stuff that actually kills people it's insane but then
00:02:49.580 they dress you up like mr rogers so emotionally calm like make you look like you're calm at least 1.00
00:02:54.920 when it comes like dr evil at least dr evil we knew what we were dealing with okay and that's 0.54
00:02:59.600 why he look at that pat that's how he should be dressing that's exactly how in my opinion bill
00:03:04.540 gates needs to dress so we know where you're coming from the fact that they had to dress him
00:03:08.200 up to diffuse what he was actually doing is not only it's it's funny but it's scary at the same
00:03:13.360 time pat that's your image your image is what make me look cool make me look like a nice cool
00:03:19.440 guy when i'm trying to destroy humanity i'm trying to find out again this is what i'm trying to find
00:03:24.060 out because i want to know what's wrong with that like tom has changed his image can you can you
00:03:30.260 focus on tom real quick can you put the camera on tom like how great does tom look be honest to be
00:03:35.840 that tie that tie says a lot the the suit and the french coffee right so but look look how tom looks
00:03:43.180 if you go back look at some of the stuff from three years ago versus today or 10 years ago
00:03:47.200 versus today. Tom, look at money.
00:03:48.980 Stefano Richie got a hold of him and changes
00:03:50.820 image up. If you go to Bezos,
00:03:53.160 what does Bezos look like? If you go to today's
00:03:55.080 Bezos, do Bezos before
00:03:57.060 and after.
00:03:59.200 If you go to Bezos, top left, look
00:04:01.080 at that.
00:04:02.200 Look at Elon before and after.
00:04:05.180 It's not much of a difference.
00:04:07.340 Before he got his little hair transplant?
00:04:09.180 So this is Bezos before.
00:04:10.920 Look what he looks like. Everything he's wearing
00:04:12.880 on the left looks like Brooks Brothers.
00:04:15.040 It was.
00:04:16.440 Do you think he got help from somebody?
00:04:19.480 Let's go to another one, Rob, if you look at those biceps.
00:04:21.940 Those biceps look pretty good.
00:04:23.100 No, just stay on this.
00:04:23.780 Just go to a different image.
00:04:24.740 That one right there.
00:04:25.600 Second one if you can. 0.85
00:04:26.580 Boom.
00:04:26.880 Yeah, look at this one.
00:04:28.020 All right?
00:04:28.620 That one he's got a jacket on.
00:04:29.860 The guy on the right looks like a stud.
00:04:31.540 Okay, go to the third one, Rob, that you have.
00:04:33.120 Look at the jacked biceps and triceps.
00:04:35.720 He looks like a football coach.
00:04:37.340 Okay?
00:04:37.680 And then the one on the left, he's just getting started.
00:04:39.820 Then go to the one holding the book down with Amazon.
00:04:42.380 Look at this.
00:04:43.180 He's holding the book, Your Next Five Move.
00:04:44.540 Smart guy on what book he's reading.
00:04:45.960 But look at the guy on the right.
00:04:47.760 You've got the veins popping out.
00:04:49.220 The guy looks like a professional sports owner, team owner.
00:04:53.760 So a part of me for this is nerds, as they grow up, like a Gates or a Bezos,
00:05:02.140 they want to find a way to be cool.
00:05:04.620 I agree.
00:05:05.500 Cool people, when they grow up in high school, they want to find a way to get rich
00:05:09.180 because typically the kids in school that were popular, they end up becoming broke.
00:05:12.980 100%.
00:05:13.420 Okay?
00:05:13.780 Most of them.
00:05:14.460 Not all of them.
00:05:15.120 Some of them, right?
00:05:15.960 And so this is the thing to go through.
00:05:17.820 I think the one on the left is probably fake because those cheeks are a little bit too cheeky.
00:05:21.520 But the one on the right is probably not fake.
00:05:23.560 That's probably exactly what it looks like today.
00:05:25.680 So there's nothing wrong with recreating yourself and, you know, recreating yourself and putting that.
00:05:31.880 But Mr. Rogers, why Mr. Rogers?
00:05:35.540 Because Mr. Rogers, Pat, made people feel safe.
00:05:37.920 Is that what it is?
00:05:38.760 Yeah, because think about it.
00:05:39.880 This friendly genius look that he's trying to push.
00:05:42.960 And it was, you know why they said, Pat?
00:05:44.220 so that the public would trust him.
00:05:47.440 Tom is a businessman.
00:05:49.420 He's a president.
00:05:50.040 He's doing good, Tom, because he wants to look professional.
00:05:52.020 You're trying to look good so people trust you,
00:05:54.540 but you're my opinion because you're that guy.
00:05:56.620 I'm going to wear a Mr. Rogers outfit next time,
00:06:00.060 and let's see what happens.
00:06:02.160 You know what?
00:06:02.980 Okay, so take a look.
00:06:04.280 You take your future look right off of him.
00:06:05.320 Look at that right there, what he's wearing.
00:06:06.880 Rob, can you send that to me, Rob?
00:06:08.460 Can you send that to me for me to get that exact outfit?
00:06:11.700 But you know what it is?
00:06:12.780 Maybe it's because I never watched Mr. Rogers because I came here at 12, 1990.
00:06:16.940 You missed that whole game.
00:06:17.840 But I watched Mr. Abbas in Iran.
00:06:19.940 Did you really?
00:06:20.540 I had him, Mr. Abbas, and Mr. Abbas was hairy, facial hair, sweaty, no deodorant.
00:06:26.880 You can smell him through the TV with two channels that we had in Iran.
00:06:29.440 Where is he?
00:06:30.360 No, he's not going to be around right now.
00:06:32.800 Adam, your thoughts on this?
00:06:33.860 Yeah.
00:06:34.700 Look, I think there's a lesson here for most men, actually,
00:06:37.420 Because I see guys move here from Silicon Valley to LA, from California, LA, San Francisco, to Miami.
00:06:45.100 And they're basically evading taxes.
00:06:46.780 We all know what's going on there.
00:06:47.780 And they're complete, total nerds. 0.94
00:06:51.340 But you know what these nerds got? 1.00
00:06:52.960 Money. 1.00
00:06:54.140 They have millions of dollars, sometimes millions of dollars.
00:06:57.080 But you know what happens?
00:06:57.800 They come here and they try to be cool.
00:06:59.480 For the first time in their life, they had a big exit.
00:07:01.280 They made $10 million, $100 million, whatever it is.
00:07:03.480 and the women of Miami or women in general smell it on them they're like this guy has no clue what 0.94
00:07:08.980 he's doing can you buy me a bag sure honey can you take me out for dinner sure honey and what
00:07:14.040 happens is these guys basically don't have swag end up basically lose their money what's the whole
00:07:19.380 what's the whole phrase from back in the day the man with experience meets the man with money or
00:07:23.340 the man with the money meets a man with experience the man with money leaves with experience the man
00:07:27.360 with experience leaves the money that's what's going to happen here so everyone should go through
00:07:30.680 this recreation all these nerds these these people are building companies who have never been cool
00:07:36.080 have never had looks or personality all of a sudden they're lacking that yeah so they need to improve
00:07:41.120 that like pbd said the people who used to be cool maybe never had money so in anything in life you
00:07:46.980 have to be a triple threat in anything you have to have money especially if you're a man you have
00:07:52.120 to have a good personality or game as they say and you need to actually look good and carry yourself
00:07:56.720 good triple threat of a man of status so where you're lacking in that you will be exposed i think
00:08:01.540 having christ number one is the first attribute you have to have that's number one but number two
00:08:04.800 adam the point i'm making with this is he knows who he is he knows about the epstein stuff he
00:08:10.340 knows that allegedly what he did against his wife and was asking epstein for std medication because
00:08:16.160 he secretly allegedly gave it to his wife hold on he's pushing warning everybody of pandemics
00:08:20.920 and then you're pushing a vaccine that's not freaking safe and then you're telling your team
00:08:25.140 make me look like mr rogers so i look safe to them that to me is a whole different story who
00:08:30.180 else do you think he was gonna look like if he's like making me look like axel rose or justin
00:08:34.760 bieber they're like they're like who could he possibly look like like dr buddy the only thing
00:08:39.720 you're gonna pull off right here is like dr well you have a thing for bill gates and you think that
00:08:44.140 he's evil and i get it there's a lot of people who agree with you well i'm just saying if you're
00:08:48.520 his image consultant facts facts just saying if you're his image consultant and you're worth 0.96
00:08:52.380 billions of dollars you're gonna be like listen your new look is mr rogers good luck he's a horny 0.81
00:08:57.640 creepy old man that's what he is yeah okay but he's worth billions of dollars it was yesterday 0.81
00:09:02.160 it was we had people over at the house and i'm walking around and thomas asked me about the
00:09:06.880 different shoes so i wore the white the brown and the black this weekend okay all weekend i wore
00:09:13.320 the white the brown and the black the white was for santa's birthday the brown i would have wore
00:09:18.280 at the office on Friday, and the black I wore yesterday, right?
00:09:21.320 Every single day, except for now I think it's 12 days,
00:09:25.660 since September 9th of 2025, I have worn these Future Looks Bright shoes.
00:09:31.740 They're the most comfortable shoes I have with the on-cloud,
00:09:35.200 what do you call it, the super foam technology on the bottom,
00:09:38.720 and then made in Tuscany, made in Italy.
00:09:41.400 Rob, if you want to play this clip, folks, with fathers that have been around the corner,
00:09:44.520 if you haven't yet picked up yourself a Future Looks Bright shoe
00:09:47.580 for yourself, maybe pick it up for your father
00:09:49.660 or somebody that you love.
00:09:50.620 Go ahead and play the clip, Rob.
00:09:52.020 When we set out to create a shoe
00:09:53.880 that blends comfort, function, and luxury,
00:09:57.640 we had the choice to make it fast.
00:09:59.960 We had the choice to make it cheap.
00:10:01.960 We chose neither.
00:10:03.580 Instead, we chose Tuscaneiro.
00:10:05.900 We chose true Italian craftsmanship,
00:10:08.500 each pair touched by 50 skilled hands.
00:10:11.320 We chose patience,
00:10:12.780 spending two years perfecting every detail,
00:10:14.800 and we chose the finest quality at every step.
00:10:18.920 Introducing the Future Looks Bright collection.
00:10:22.520 Not rushed, not disposable, not ordinary.
00:10:26.720 Rather intentional, luxurious, timeless.
00:10:34.700 There you go.
00:10:35.700 Go to vtmerch.com, place your order.
00:10:37.980 Again, go to vtmerch.com, place your order with the latest FLB shoes.
00:10:42.560 Some sizes are not available.
00:10:44.480 14 is still not in, but go check to make sure the size is in
00:10:47.080 because they sell out fairly quickly once they come in.
