That is perfectly possible. Beck is a great story teller and it is possible that information is a great story. But, it was said really before there were any obvious signs of problems with Beck.
Because it was reasonably smooth sailing for him at the time, and the setting was relaxed and kind of a deep dive commentary, that I found it believable.
I did not know how transparent and obvious that he was mental would become in only a few short years. It got really bizzare. Remember back when he said he was going blind, soon maybe?
Maybe he was upset because he had to wear glasses. And now, he is losing everything, or close to it. He’s been winging it for the last several years and I really think he couldn’t keep it together any longer, financially. Not that he will be broke, or go broke, but he had quite a little empire going there for awhile.
