Tim analyzes photos of Prigozhin smiling and taking selfies after the failed coup, arguing this delusional behavior, thinking he could get an agent or CAA representation, sealed his fate.
- Prigozhin thinks he's in America and that CAA will sign him as an agent.
- Tim notes Prigozhin delighted in his newfound fame despite being a warlord who cut off heads.
- Russian officials rejected Prigozhin's coup attempt because they're all enriched by the Putin regime and invested in it.
- Prigozhin thought oligarchs would defect to him even though their money and power depend on Putin.
- After the coup failed, Prigozhin claimed he made his point and killed some Russian servicemen, but none of it's forgivable to Putin.
- Selfies show Prigozhin arriving in Belarus smiling and happy, either delusional about his fate or hiding it perfectly.
- Tim argues Prigozhin started believing his own myth after he survived confronting Putin, thinking he'd won.
- In America, there's a path to redemption like hosting Miss Universe; in Russia, you live and die by what you've done.
