Hey, everybody. Welcome. Howdy? Welcome to the Snark Tank podcast. Sorry about that. My bad. My bad. That's my fault.

My apology. We missed the last episode. We recorded a whole. And you know what's sad too? It was a good one. Great episode. It was a really good episode that you'll never fucking hear. We could maybe send it to someone.

and they could just like edit it in such a way that it makes sense. But, but, uh, really good episode, unfortunately. Yeah, Sweeney's audio just wasn't, wasn't captured. So, but we've double checked this time. Triple check even. And it seems like we're golden. So this should be getting out to people. But the good news is, uh, you're not going to miss anything because we're going to cover

everything that we, we went over. we're going to cover everything that we went over in that last episode and some new stuff. So you will not have missed anything. Also, Derek's not here. We forgot to say that. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's right. He's sick.

He's sick, unfortunately. Derek is sick. He's a sickly boy. I'm also sick, but I think I can, I could, I think I'll be all right. I'm coughing, which is like not fun. Yeah. You know what's confusing, though? It's like I was, uh, so I had like a head cold and now like, I got like that tightness.

almost like a like a like a asthma which I have asthma I have like out I have allergy onset asthma which is like a fucking weird like it happens whenever there's like seasonal allergies but the thing is it's been so

it's been so hot here and there's been so there's been so such a minimal shift in temperature or climate that like I can't imagine that like I don't know I took like three COVID tests so it's not COVID dude if it was if I lived in my other apartment right

now and it was this hot I would have died. I think that for real would have passed away. You would have been a dead man. Yeah. That apartment's fucked. I would have went to bed and never woke up. Joe was, when Joe was, because I picked up some stuff from Joe, I picked up the table. From Joe and he said, yeah, some black sludge came out of the tub.

And I was like, oh. Yeah. That's cool. Yeah. That's a very fun. Happened to mine too. I was like, oh, sick. Nice.

Why? And he had to argue about our deposit. He was like, oh, I don't think you guys should get deposit back. I'm like, excuse me? You know, that's fucked up? You know what's funny, though? To me, it's like, I had a similar, because in, there was one building that we lived in. It was the second place that we lived in.

We would have some issues like, like, I remember specifically I would wake up sometimes and I would go into my bathroom and then the toilet would be full of like bubbles, like soap. It would be like soap. But it was like, and I would look at it and I was like, this isn't disgusting. It's just confusing and weird. This is wrong. It's like this shouldn't be here. Yeah.

But if sewage came up from my fucking tub dude. That's an instant. Like maybe I'm going to call somebody to break your kneecaps or something. Because that's fucked up. Sludge. Sludge. Sludge came out. It looked like a muck from Pokemon.

But not alive. Not charming and alive. just gross. Oh yeah, I forgot to say this. By the way, I moved into a new apartment. I think I said this. Pretty obvious since the last episode. He said last episode.

Well, yeah, but we didn't. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, forget it. Yeah. So I'm in, I'm in a new space. I have my office. I have this office squared away.

It's a little echoy because I have no wall art or anything. It's literally just my desk, my computer. My green screen will be getting here today. and little things like that, but nothing to absorb sound. So if this episode sounds fucked, just deal with it, I guess. Just deal with it. You know, I don't know what to tell you. But it's fucking weird.

It's fucking very bizarre. What? Being alone? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, just having my own space is bizarre. You're used to it. That's fine.

You know what's funny, though, when I took Joe's table. Because it's, it was their old dining room table. And I took it because I was like, I need it. table. So I took it and I was cleaning it down and like a roach came out of it as I was cleaning and I was like, nope. So I put it, it's on my deck now. It's like outside because I refuse to have that shit inside now. I would power wash it. I would brutally power wash it. Even so. Like I just, I know I wouldn't trust it even if I did that. So you know what? I'm just, it's an outside table. It looks fine outside. It works. You have a patio. Yeah, I have a patio. It's not like a great one, but like it's

enough. It's enough that I can justify it. But anyway, minor life updates aside, you're in a new spot too. Yeah. It's great. You've been a, yeah. I've been here for a little over a week, almost two weeks now. Yeah, two weeks. So it's amazing. It's, it's, it's, uh, it's air conditioned, and that's it. So I need air conditioning. Yeah, especially now, Jesus Christ, it's like fucking 200 200 degrees. It's, it's so hot in California. It's nutty. It's like Vegas temperatures in Cali, which is just like... It's incredibly unnecessary. It's just, why does a place get this hot for any reason?

Nothing thrives off this kind of heat. Things just die. Things only die. But, uh, let's see, let's see. What should we... What are you eating? Literally like chicken. What do you mean?

Chicken and rice from a... Guy Ocaku. What? What is that? Gaiocaku. Oh, okay, okay. Fucking bomb. It's delicious.

I've only had that place once. Really good. It's not bad. I didn't have lunch or breakfast, so I'm just eating now. No, well. So I don't follow a sugar on a podcast. That's a good idea. All right.

So let's see. What should we cover? Where do you want to start in this maelstrom of a universe that we live in right now? Oh, man. Like, we should cover some of the stuff that we went over last time, just so we can get the old stuff that we know we already talked about out of the gate quick and then we can just like we can steamroll so we talked last time on the episode that you didn't hear about uh tim pool and i forgot yeah tim pool um there's actually kind of a lot to

say about that because when we recorded last time he was planning to do this but now it's out so tim pool put out a song i think it was called only ever wanted or something and it was like I don't know. It's just this kind of like generic kind of rock song. Like it doesn't sound anything special, but it's, it's Tim Pool, whatever. I'd prefer Tim Pool be doing this than whatever the hell he's been doing, quite frankly. Like if you want to make music, by all means, do that. Politically misleading people? Do you rather him do music than misleading people politically? That's what you're saying. I would, I would rather someone do art than engage in making people upset for me. money. That is my preference. But, but so he did that and Derek was like, oh, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to put out a song. Because Tim Pool was like, I'm going to put this song out on the 26th. Only Ever Wanted. And Derek was like, I'm going to write a song called Only Ever Wanted and put it out by the 26th. And he did it since then. Yeah, have you not heard it? I saw the video. I didn't know it was called All You Ever Wanted. I saw the video on his like, on his like feed. It's got the same

name. It's got the same name. And he put it out on the same day. And it sounds pretty good. He like mixed it well. It's like it's so fucking funny. Like that song exists purely out of spite. Oh, it's hilarious. Don't tell Derek this at all. Derek is progressively getting better at music. And I really respect it. I don't like Derek. I don't like him as a person. I fucking can't stand a guy. Oh, no, absolutely. But I got to admit, musically, he's definitely progressing. He's like writing music now. I'm impressed. He's not going to see something. He's not going to watch it. I'm pretty sure he's probably going to throw it together. I'm like, ah, it's out. So he's never going to hear me give him a compliment. Yeah, no, no, no.

He's, there's, there's definitely noticeable improvement. I'm proud of him. Yeah. You just married a white woman, so I can't, I can't really say that to him out loud no more. That's true. As a black man, I can't, I can't condone that, you know. That's right. I keep forgetting that he's married now.

It's disgusting. It's disgusting. Derek was first. Anyway, I thought I was going to be first. Nah, it's fucking Derek. That's kind of wild. I mean, also, he is older. So technically, you still have plenty of time to be first.

You know, the only reason people, talk about like, oh, who's going to be the first out of all of us? It's usually a group of friends who went to school in the same grade. You know what I mean? Like, it's never usually like... I think it's still going to be me, right? I think it's probably me or J-Ly. I feel, I mean, it'd probably be you.

It would be weird if it wasn't you. Yeah, it'd be where it wasn't me. It'd be confusing. If I were literally, I'd feel some type of way about that. He'd stop. But... You know she wanted this. Thank you.

Oh, my God. We took a hundred or this episode. That would have been a good idea. That would have been a good idea. But alas. So, again, another song that came out around the same time was a Stephen Crowder song. And I did expunge this from my memory because it was so taxing to experience and to withhold that memory. But I'm pretty sure it was a baby shark parody about President Biden farting.

And it was awful. The least funny thing I think I've ever seen. And I don't even say that as somebody who likes Biden. You know what I mean? Like, it's just objectively garbage. And I think the thing that really kind of bothered me about it was that I realize that there's two specific alleyways that political comedy tends to go now. And it's like with super, super left-wing political comedy, when somebody jokes about something, they kind of, they kind of forget the joke.

It's like, oh, I'm going to say something, and it's meant to be funny. It turns into like, it's like Nanette, if you've ever seen that comedy special in the net, where it's like, this is a stand-up comedy special, but it's not funny. And it's not not funny in the way that Bo Burnham's inside is not not funny, where it's like, oh, look at how weird and creative it is. It's just not funny. and it's like the comedian forgets to tell the joke

because they're too busy making a point and that's like left wing political comedy and right wing political comedy seems to be almost the exact opposite where the joke is there but it's it's tailored

to like a five year old's reading level it's like literally like monkeys yeah it's like it's like it's like it's like if you Barting do do do do burdings that was so bad it was but you know what's so unique terribly terrible about it too is that not only was it bad it was late because that story from like about

Biden farting in front of the pope that was from like October of last year so either it took him this long he was in a lab this long he was in a lab crafting this fucking horrific video for fucking nine 10 straight months or it's like that image of like Kanye like going like you this And he's like, I fucking God and I got it. Is it? And then he presses playing. Everybody's like, it's just fucking terrible.

I don't know. It's just terrible. We also talked a little bit about Andrew Tate being banned from everything, which, you know, normally I would be kind of against. But given how much uncomfortable. Given how, given how. Well, the thing is, I'll put it, I'll put it this way. I don't. feel like, so he tells this story. Andrew Tate has told this story before about how he got the police

called on him and they raided his house and they found 11 or 13, I think it was 11, 11 new charges to bring him up on in addition to the charge that they were investigating him for in the first place, which was sex trafficking. This madness. If you raided my house right now. No, no, no, ever, ever, no, ever. If you rated where I lived ever, ever, ever, period, it still wouldn't add up to half of that. Yeah, you wouldn't find 11 new charges to bring me up.

I struggle to imagine even one, really. I would say one would be really surprised. Like, if the cops came in my house right now, I would confidently go downstairs and relax while they're here. Yeah, me too. If they're not going to, if they're not aiming guns at me, I'd be like, oh, I'm fine. I'm going to go downstairs and watch TV. And if they came out and I'd be like, what really? I'd be surprised.

Like, if you, if the, if the police camera took my computer. Your camera zoomed in, your camera zoomed into your camera. So I have, so for the people just listening to this, I got this, I got this fucking camera. Because I had like a discount on it on Amazon. It was like cheaper than the camera that I normally get. So I was like, I'll give it a show. and it has this AI in it that zooms in on me. It like follows me.

It like tracks me. I don't know why the fuck this is in there. I don't know how to disable it. But I'm just going to get rid of this thing. It's for when you're streaming and you're having sex while your streams will get track your eyes. No, but that's exactly what I don't want. Oh. Oh.

Okay, never mind. I don't want people to know that I'm getting blow jobs every single day under the fucking pit. Every day. Could you imagine you live that kind of life? Hey, man. One day, I hope, man. one day I hope but I can't do it with this camera

this camera's gonna ruin it it's gonna track her shadow there's a person over there there's a person did you see that fucking that girl that got banned from well suspended from Twitch for getting fucked in the ass

I think she's back now by the time we're recording this or by the time you're hearing this so I mean it's a woman's world out there man like I don't know stop but look I'm I don't know man

like this is what this is what we were talking about last time too about the Tate stuff where it's like there's a reason why this dude is popping off and it's because of this shit like it's because of the toxic nature of an adult an adult can look at this stuff and realize like wow that's really shitty uh but that's not women as a group's fault you know what i mean like it's just everybody's an individual and whatever but a child's gonna look at that and being like wow fuck women can do fucking anything it's like that girl who spread her ass cheeks on on fucking twitch and she got like a i think like a week ban or something. That was insane. This is what it is. I don't know. One sweet, melty bite of a Hershey's bar and suddenly I'm right back sitting on the front porch with my grandmother on a slow summer afternoon. She doesn't say much, just breaks the bar in half and hands me a piece. I open my mouth to say whatever a nine-year-old wants to say. And she replies

with a low, listen. So we sat there. Listening. That was. That was. was the first time I learned that quiet can feel full. Hershey's. It's your happy place. I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan. Hey, how's it going today? It's going good, man.

Tell us who you are and what you do. I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan and Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I saw Billboard of years recently. It said 20 billion one. 20 billion is an insane number.

Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and batter and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law.

That's pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7, 365. Wow. Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's Large Injury Law, and thanks for coming by the show.

Thanks for having me. Visit for the people.com for an office near you. What happens is there's always a push, right? There's always a, it's ebb and flows. So what happens is that for a long while, there was a very PC sort of narrative that was being forced on everybody's throat now. And what happens is now there's Andrew Tate.

It's like there was once a very war-mongering America than there was the hippies that came afterwards. You know? Right, right, right. It's just the nature of the beast. The problem is that I usually don't, I usually don't agree with people getting banned on things. I don't agree with bands. And that's not my thing.

Yeah. But the thing is that Andrew Tate factually, like there's more than enough proof that he's a shitty person. There's more enough proof. You don't got to, you don't got to look hard to figure out he's a shitty person. Well, before we get too deep into it, I do want to say allegedly. He is a, he is allegedly, you know, he's, he, there has been some insinuation that he indulges in sex trafficking, which, look, I don't have that. There are, there's, there aren't many, there aren't many groups of people that I would say should be banned from the internet. I'm a very like

libertarian person in that sense. Like I think I think generally speaking you should be able to say whatever you want. I think the internet is the public square and I think if you're banned from that I think it's pretty fucked. But I would say like pedophiles

like maybe you're not entitled to much. And then the other, and then another group is people who sell people. People who sell people. People who sell people. People who sell people. I don't know.

I feel like slavers and sex traffickers are also in that group where like, you know, I don't necessarily care if you are denied basic rights. Because your base existence is founded around that. So in the instance that Andrew Tate is indeed guilty of these things, I don't want to be seen defending him. because that would just be very bad. But generally speaking, I even said this with Alex Jones, where I feel like, I feel like he shouldn't have been banned.

I feel like they should have just, like, fucked with them endlessly. Endlessly. That's so fucking terrible. I know, but I just, I just feel like people should generally have a place on the internet. But, like, he's just one of those things where it's like, I'm not comfortable.

I'm not comfortable yet. The problem with the Alex Jones, the Donald Trump's, the um the android right right what happens is and i can i i would assume you would agree with this right we didn't think we didn't think trump was going to be the problem he became you know i didn't think we were joking about remember when he won and we're all like he it's impossible he's going to win and a little bit later on before the winning you were like i think he might win but at first no one we didn't think he was going to win we were back east we were like he's not going to

And that's insane. Donald Trump is a fucking lunatic. But what happened is that he became a voice for that group of people that felt ostracized and like they don't have a voice, you know? He became a voice for them. And we've seen through him literally inciting an insurrection and then trying to deny it that those things can become problems. They really can. I agree, but I don't think the solution is banning them. Yes.

It's necessarily banning them. I think the solution is accepting the fact that moderate opinions exist. Because I think what happened with Trump and to a lesser extent, even Alex Jones and other people, other people who get banned, is that there is a noticeably, there is a noticeably light representation of the general opinion. And I think that's the, and I think the reason for that is because the general opinion, the general opinion is often viewed as, extreme because it's not like I'll put it this way like when you look at Andrew Tate right and he says something like um he says something extreme and then he follows it up with something that's that's moderate to basically undeniably true right like just some basic knowledge that basic knowledge then becomes associated with whatever extreme it's tied to you it's tied to you're very right and so and so people

who have just an objectively obvious grasp on the truth around them will not say the obvious thing because they don't want to be grouped in with group A. Yeah. Right. And so people who are growing up who are just coming into this world who are just trying to find their footing aren't exposed to the moderate shit. They're only exposed to the extreme shit and the people telling them that the extreme shit and anything associated with it is terrible. And it's really, it's like this. It's a dangerous.

It's like a very confusing. Yeah. I don't know. It's a very confusing thing because it's like, I don't know, man. I'm sure. like TikTok and like all these other websites have algorithms that are designed to kind of push you into um the design they're designed to make you react right they're designed to get you clicks and reactions

because i've i've seen this right on our on my feed right on my feed i see like all these things of like women being the shittiest telling men that are like crying like shut the fuck up your pussy stop being a bitch all this shit right i see it on my feed regular And obviously me being a person who has sense, I'm like, well, that girl sucks. Right. But what happens is I take Lily's phone or any of our female friend's phones, right? And we look at their feet and it's the opposite. It's a paradigm shift.

Right. And it's terrifying, but it's a paradigm shift, right? Then you're like, what is what in the world going on? It's designed to make you angry because when you're angry, you engage. You interact. It's like, you argue in the comments, and then you spend more time on the app, and then you get to, the app learns more about you and then it sells you shit. It's really fucking sad. It's horrible.

It's horrible. And it's the internet kind of facilitating these terrible mentalities, ininvertingly, but literally algorithmically, if that makes any sense. I don't even think it's inadvertent at this way. I think it's genuinely intentional. At this point, I feel like there could have been a, I think there's a point in time. I think genuinely pre-2017, I feel like that would. was around the time. I was like, I don't think anybody really knew what an algorithm was. I feel like people just sort of let the code speak for itself. But I think there's been a pretty obvious

success rate for apps that do this. So, I mean, they go with it. And I think they know what they're doing. I don't think they necessarily do it on purpose, but I don't think it's inadvertent. I think it's like, this is the model. This is how it works. And we'll, we're not doing it to do that. We're doing it because it's incredibly good for the business. And, uh, you know, that's just, that's just fucking how it goes. And that's why, that's why Andrew Tate exploded. It's dangerous too because, in my heart of hearts, right, we, we assume that like, oh, no one's really listening to this because we're, we're adults. We've, we've done, we've done the character development stages of our lives already or at least

at least towards the end of it, you know, we're like, it's very hard for something to radical. It's really, it's going to be really hard. hard for me to become a genuine chauvinistic misogynist man, you know, like something insane as like brain trauma has to happen for that to happen to me, you know? But like, we see it as ridiculous. And then we talk to people in our families who are also like my nephew, my nieces and my stuff like that. They're all like, oh, I talked about my Andrew Tate's like I heard of him.

He sounds like a fucking loser. But that's sensibility. There are people who don't have a safe space to exist. where they don't know who they are, you know, they're not people that talk. Because I know when I was younger, maybe at a certain point in my life after like a really bad breakup, that shit could have rung more true to me. I think I would have not held that perspective because of the fact that I've like my, I'm not that kind of guy and I was raised by women. So I'm not going to have this horrible respect to women. That's kind of the separating factor there, I think, too.

Is it like, I think, because I just think about basically it's like, oh, I like my mom. And I wouldn't want people talking about this. I wouldn't want people talking this way about my mom. My mom has to be, my mom is property. My grandma's property? The fuck are you talking to? I'll hurt you. Yeah.

I'll harm you. Yeah. Well, Andrew's Hayes's lucky because he's genuinely good at fighting. So I feel like that's the reason why he's able to, he's, it's the reason he's been able to sell. That's what he is. What the thing is that he, to all these people that don't have a role model, they see Andrew has this guy with a bunch of money, a bunch of girls, got at fighting, great shape, able to talk, all these things, right? someone who survived on hate to admit it he he there's a degree of inspiration in his upbringing you know

he didn't have an easy life right so you know like you you you can elite you part of part of my human nature to be like if this guy wasn't an asshole he'd be an inspiring guy you know it wasn't a complete twat he'd be like you'd be like oh this guy oh man it's like but the thing is But no, no, I know what you're saying. But the thing is then you see, you imagine you are, you are young and you're kind of impressionable. You don't have that mother figure or whatever. And then you see Andrew Tate and he's like, he's saying some stuff that makes sense. And then he's saying other stuff that's kind of like fucking what the fuck.

And then you see a story about, oh yeah, this girl got a three-day suspension on Twitch. You look at the fucking. You look at the internet bias towards women. And you're just like. Yeah. And you're immediately, you're like, what the fuck? What is this bullshit? Brought?

And I didn't necessarily want to... One sweet, melty bite of a Hershey's bar, and suddenly I'm right back sitting on the front porch with my grandmother on a slow summer afternoon. She doesn't say much, just breaks the bar in half and hands me a piece. I open my mouth to say whatever a nine-year-old wants to say. And she replies with a low...

Listen. So we sat there. Listening. That was the first time I learned that quiet, can feel full. Hershey's, it's your happy place. I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan.

Hey, how's it going today? It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan and Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome.

I think I saw Billboard of years recently that said $20 billion. $20 billion is an insane number. Yeah, $20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and batter and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on.

Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. That's pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7, 365.

Wow. Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's Large Injury Law Firm, thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit furtherpeople.com for an office near you. I didn't necessarily want to tune this or switch this into Halo, but I feel kind of weirdly compelled to. Wow, I want to hear this one.

So look, 343 as a studio. This is a hard turn, by the way. Okay. Apologies. But Halo Infinite is, they just had like a huge update thing. And it was disappointing, as you might imagine. It was like, and it's not that there's nothing cool. Like, there's like a spies versus Burke's mode that sounds kind of awesome,

actually. But it's like, it's just so little so late and then they're like, hey, this next season, we're delaying it until March of next year. So this, this next season is like a year long, which is like fucking insane. And this is a studio that has almost consistently fucked up. Like, since they got the IP, they made a game that like people loved with Halo 4, but that wasn't really, you know, it was like, died really quick. It's like, all right, that's not exactly a failure, but definitely like kind of a misstep. Maybe re-correct yourself. And then they did the Master's Collection, which was a fucking travesty for six straight years until they fixed it. And then they did Halo 5, which was like so, so disastrous that they did a spiritual reboot, right?

And then they do this live service game and they deliver it with no content even after like years of delay. And even if they did delay it a year, it would still be underdeveloped by the time it would have been out. So, and I look at that and I think like, why the fuck is this studio still? still even around, to be honest. Like, they're doing good work sometimes, but at the same time, they've fucked up in such a way that I cannot fathom

how the higher ups at this studio have not been fired. And I look at the higher ups from this, from the studio, and it's Bonnie Ross. And I'm sorry. But if a guy had fucked up this many times. I don't think that's true, Chris.

I disagree with that. Kingston. Chris, I disagree with that. Kingston, no, I sincerely believe that they don't want to fire Bonnie Ross because I don't think they want to deal with the cultural shit. The bad PR. I don't think they want to deal with that bad PR. And I genuinely think that's true because holy shit, what a mismanaged company that this studio has been for the last. Like, dude, they fired people for far less at that studio.

But like I really do feel like that is part of it. But I also don't feel like that comes from like some like Andrew Tate like oh women or fuck get rid of this woman. I look at it as like if I was a guy, I wouldn't even got. If I was a guy, I wouldn't have even gotten the chance to have fucked up the second time. I don't think that's true. I don't think that's true. I think it's true. I think it's at least.

I think at the very least, I think at the very least a component of that is the reason why she's still there. The idea. So look, this is what this is how bad of us. situation we're in right now, right? This gender, air quotes, quote, gender war that exists currently,

right? It's not a gender war. It's not, it's not a gender war, but this disparity between the two sides. The fact that this is even a conversation is wild, first of foremost.

I know. It's absolutely insane that this has to be a conversation. It's a simple fair play should be fair play, obviously. But then you see things constantly showing that there

is a difference in treatment, which is insane. Because, like, I don't, I don't, I don't think, in my heart of hearts, I don't believe that you're right, right? Like, I don't believe you're right. But, why don't you, why don't you think I'm right though? Because that doesn't make, that it doesn't, it doesn't make sense to me. That doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense. They were like, oh, she's a woman. Don't hire, don't fire. Why do they fire her? That's crazy. But look, look, look, look, look, look, I'm going to tail back around. You know, when your black friend is like, dude, I do get treated differently because I'm X, Y, or Z. And your friend, your,

your white friend who's genuinely not a problem at all is like, no way. That's crazy. They wouldn't do that to you. You're a person like me. And you're just being discredited for having that mentality. So it's, it's insane. We live in such a wild variation of the world. That it blows my mind. The thing is like, the reason I say that is because I feel like I just feel like if you were the head of a company, right? Or let's say you're

you are, not the head of a company, you're the head of a publisher and you have a company that is run by a woman and it's consistently fucking up. I'm not saying that all women fuck up companies by the way. Oh no, I'm very aware of that. This is like very specific. I like really need

and this is why I feel like people don't say these things because they don't want to be roped into this shit, but I'm sincerely, I don't know what else to make of it because I can't think, I can't think, I can't think of another studio with, even within Microsoft's first party that has fucked up this consistently. But I don't think, but like, I know, I know what you're saying. I get your argument, but my brain can't rationalize the idea that it's, it's because it's a woman, you know, like that's, but that's because my brain doesn't think like that at all, right?

I don't think like that. I don't even do the critical thinking to go down the path of thinking like that. Well, the thing, the thing to me, it's like, I can't think of any other reason. I can't think of another reason. Chris, there's a perfectly good reason. Why you wouldn't fire somebody who was bad at their job. Okay, yes, that's very true. That's very true.

One sweet, melty bite of a Hershey's bar and suddenly I'm right back sitting on the front porch with my grandmother on a slow summer afternoon. She doesn't say much, just breaks the bar in half and hands me a piece. I opened my mouth to say whatever a nine-year-old wants to say. And she replies with a low, Shh. Listen. So we sat there. Listening.

That was the first time I learned that quiet can feel full. Hershey's. It's your happy place. I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan. Hey, how's it going today? It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do.

I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan and Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I saw Billboard of years recently that said 20 billion one. 20 million is an insane number. Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and batter and our army grows.

So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. That's pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call.

24-7, 365. Wow. Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's Large Injury Lawfram, thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit furtherpeople.com for an office near you. Unless you just didn't want to deal with the fallout of,

because the video game industry is fucked for women. Yeah. You know what? It is not a good place for women to be. I know many people who are, I know many women who are in the industry. And it's not like 100% bad all the time. But like it's, it's not fucking wonderful. It's definitely hard because there's a different expectation.

And there's like, you know, there's all sorts of different things that go into play. Any sort of, any sort of tech slash business company for women is not great. It's not great. And like, I had an ignorance to it until I started dating Lily. And she being a female engineer, the stories I would. hear. I'm just like, what? People are just saying it. It's like, yeah. Yeah, that's what happens. Yeah, I think seeing it in person is another thing, too. It changes. It changes what you think. I remember seeing some stuff like that in like 2020 and being like, Jesus Christ, I have never

seen, like seeing it, I guess unabashed. Like, without any hint of, it's kind of like when you're out to dinner with somebody and then they treat the waiter poorly. and you're like, what the fuck is that? Yeah, and it's like, what are you doing? Like, it just completely shattered. Like, I didn't even think people did this. It's a veil that gets pulled up. It's honestly a veil.

You're like, that doesn't happen, right? And then you think of all those times, they're like, oh, my God, that probably happened. But so imagine this, right? Like, this is an industry that is already a hard time for women, right? And then your company and then you fire one of the few. women who's ahead of a company in first party in the context of that whole ecosystem being the way it is for women. I could see why you might want to avoid that. I can understand I can understand your perspective. I can see your train of thought. Like the piece is connect. I can

see where they connect. I just can't believe that's the reason. my brain won't let me believe that because that's such an insane reason for that. It sounds insane. It's like, what? It isn't, yeah. You won't fire a woman. That's so crazy, dude. Like, just fire her if she sucks. But she does suck. I mean, I don't want to be, I don't want to be that blunt about it, but she's, I mean, it just, look, man, Halo seen really good days and none of them have been under her. So, like, I don't, I don't know what else. I don't know. I don't know.

What's crazy? All I'm saying is, all I'm saying is maybe, and maybe it is like a higher up problem in general. Like maybe like managerially, like everything there needs to shift. I think that's the case. That's what I think it is.

I think, I think they just need to give it back to it bungee. Just give Hala back to Bungy. No, no, no. Bungi doesn't want it. They probably don't want it like,

ah, not. Well, you don't think Bunger should have it anymore? You don't think Bunger do a good job with it? I think Bungi is doing too good of a job with Destiny that I don't want them to stop. Damn. Give it back to Bungie. Like, all right.

Give it to fucking id. Give it to someone else. Give it to fucking rock star, bro. Yeah. Rockstar makes halo. Yeah. I just, I don't know. It bothers me that I can't say those obvious things.

Because I feel like that, I feel like that observation isn't like a misogynistic one. It's just, I can't help but notice that. It's not misogynistic, right? But what happens is people that have misogynistic views, unfortunately would say that. You can't say anything reasonable because people will take it and then use it. It's like the same earlier, I tweeted about how like I really can't understand how 3-4-3 is even still operational when so many studios have been shut for far less. I think about pandemic. And they used to make some fucking dope shit and then EA got them and they were like, eh, I'm actually going to kill you and rape you actually.

And then they did that. This is actually that harkens back even further. So some of the content you were making a little while ago, before you went more into like video games and other entertainment, you're political content, right? What happens is you guys, the reason why people call you guys Nazis, air quotes, is because you guys are making content that was critiquing the left because you guys are left-leaning people. And you're like, this is crazy what's happening. You guys not see this. What happens is people will take that out of context, assume you're right-winged, and then when you're like, honestly, free healthcare needs to happen.

They're like, I thought you were, wait, I thought you were on my side. What's happening here? It's like, yeah, but that's,

that's, listen, listen to the, listen to what's happening entirely. Don't just hark it on one side, but that's what happens. That's the nature of the internet and the world we live in now is like,

everything's out of context. I can say, I like, I like dogs, but I, I like cats, but I like dogs a bit more. And they can be spun in,

me wanting to kill cats. And it's like, how. That's Twitter. That's that joke about like waffles and that tweet that everybody shares whenever somebody, like, it always happens without fail. Like, people will read shit into things that you don't mean or intense. Like, that's not what I said. The death of the author is like applies to everybody now. But I just feel like, I don't know.

It's just, it's just weird. I don't know how a company like 343 is still around in the capacity that it is. I just, I, it's baffling. Just for context, um, Sony shut down Zipper Interactive. And Zipr Interactive was in charge of making Socom games. Do you know why Sony shut down Zipr Interactive?

What? Because they put out a SOCOM game and two days later, the PSN went down for three weeks. Do you remember that in 2011? I remember that. I remember that. The PlayStation Network was down for like, I think it was like a few weeks to like maybe even a month or longer. It was down for a while.

And that's how they redesigned it. They, well, they did a whole fucking, and they refunded it. It was a huge mess. And because of that, that was a multiplayer only game and the game died. And because the PlayStation Network, Sony, their infrastructure failed. They shut that studio down and put everybody out of a job. do you think times were more brutal back then? Do you think things were more brutal back then?

But like by the nature, but by the nature of it simply being more brutal, not exactly the weird stipulations that come apart of things now? I think the games industry used to be a lot more brutal specifically. Well, it depends on what you're talking about because I feel like maybe the expectations are a little bit higher now because every frame of every game is going to be looked at with like a fucking microscope. so if there's one thing out of place, like it's going to be a huge... It's like the Craig meme when fucking they showed off Halo Infinite for the first time

and the brute didn't have an expression when it was dying. Like a couple... Like, even in classic Halo games that probably wouldn't have even been remotely noticeable or no... That's not like anyone cares about ever. Like, I'm pretty sure that's even true

of all the old... Like, no one cares. But like now where you can like, you know, like pause and like rewind and play at half speed, I do think that's worse now. But back in the day Studios would just

Like publishers would just Hey you're fucked Fuck you Hey you know this thing that we fucked up We're gonna kill you for that Like literally that's what Sony did They were like Our infrastructure failed

And it negatively impacted your game So you're done EA was like Hey good job pandemic You've done great That doesn't matter though Like pandemic was at the top of their fucking game

Only like two years before EA shut them down. They put out fucking Battlefront and Battlefront 2. That is fucking crazy. And then they go away. And only, only to then revive that IP later.

Horribly. Horribly. So I do think it was worse because now I feel like there's a lot of fear behind shutting studios down because I don't think anybody wants the reputation that EA has and has had for so long. EA doesn't even do that anymore, but people still think of them as that studio that shuts everything down.

That's true. And I think people are afraid of that. So now I feel like companies have a little bit more. They had to dance around things more. But dude, fucking Lionhead, the studio that made Fable, they died after Fable 3. And that was just kind of a bad game, like, subjectively. Like, I know people who love that game. I hate it.

I don't know that game. Jalen loves that game. Yeah. But like they they were shut down after that. That's true. So it's it's it's it's it's the idea of like so so I agree. Yeah, I agree that there's a there's a different ecosystem they exist in. And it's it's going to it leads to to these things even being questioned in the first place,

which is kind of icky to begin with. To have to question that is kind of gross. Man, what do we want to? There's a lot. There's a lot. There's a lot of stuff we could go into. What do you want to go? Want to go into debt forgiveness?

You're talking about... What was it? Want to go into debt forgiveness now? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So the debt forgiveness thing. Yeah. That's happening. That's real.

That's actually kind of great, honestly. Yeah. Subjectively a good thing, I think. It's better than nothing, I guess. I'll say that. It's good. This is a good thing, Chris. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I've just, you know, it's a little half-hearted. But, like, I appreciate that... What do you mean? What do you mean? It's half-hearted. Because it's not exactly, like, because what is it? It's like up to a certain amount and it's, and it's like for specific things. It's for, yeah, that's true. But that is going to lead to more benefit.

It's a beneficial thing no matter what, no matter how you slice it. It is beneficial. It feels like it's, it feels like again, things can't just be done good for good sake. And it's like, oh, debt forgiveness, period. But they have to do it up to a certain point. If you have $2 million in student debt, you know. I guess so. But like, what the fuck?

I guess, but it just, I don't know. I just don't like, like, the loan system in general. Like, I just feel like it's inherently, I feel like it's inherently predatory. And I feel like a lot of people from our generation and forward were like kind of tricked into doing, or tricked into that system. One sweet, melty bite of a Hershey's bar.

20 billion is an insane number. Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and badder, and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on.

Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. That's pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7, 365. Wow. Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's Large Injury Law, thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit furtherpeople.com for an office near you. Thinking that it was like the only way. Like, I remember thinking like genuinely that it was the only thing you could do. To play for college, though sometimes it is. Yeah. Like, well, I just mean to even go that route at all. Like, I remember thinking college was absolutely necessary. If you didn't go to college, you were going to die. I literally thought that.

I thought that it was like, you're just not going to be a happy life. I figured like, it was not going to be happy. Right, but that's like the whole point of being alive is to have a happy life. So it's like, all right, well, I guess I have to do this. And learning that I didn't was liberating, but also very frustrating. Because I feel like I had wasted even just like the small amount of time that I could have gotten a startup on everything else. I'm still in college. I'm still in college. Still a college student, right? I very much so have a super jaded perspective towards college because I'm older when I'm 28 years old now.

I don't like the idea, like the predatory nature of loans. The fact that loans can be sold in the first place is wild. That shouldn't exist. It is crazy. And the fact that loans can be sold to sister companies, therefore you have to pay more, but the loan went from one hand of this person to another hand is just wild. That that's real. It's fucking crazy, man. Like, I just find it so, like, it doesn't feel like a legit, like to me, to me, when I see it, it, to me, when I see it, even at its most benign, it doesn't feel like a legitimate thing.

Like, it feels like a scheme in every single facet and every single implementation that it exists in. I'm sure I get that it helps people. But, like, even then in like, I just, I don't know. I just have a really, really negative opinion of these things in the first place. So the fact that the fact that they are getting forgiven up to a certain point is good, but it's still kind of like... It's criminal. This whole thing is fucked up. It's criminal.

It just feels extremely criminal to me, like the way it goes about it. But thanks, thanks, Joe. in for something. But it's kind of, this is a check. It's, it's kind of how I feel about insurance companies also.

So it's like, whatever, we're, we're halfway there. They're the, they're the same, they are the same father companies usually,

in fact. And it's extremely horrible and catalyst, but hey, this is, this is a check. Hey, I got an idea.

Hey, I got an idea. Uh, how, and tell me if this, tell me if this sounds crazy to you, but how about, all right,

and listen to this. You pay me money. and then I don't do anything for you. Well, you know, that exists. It's pretty good deal, right? It exists very often. Did you see the video of that girl that has a problem which throws up all the time? And she went to get, she went to like the, her insurance said they'd cover it, but they just won't.

They just won't cover it for some reason. So she just can't keep food down. So she just vomits all the time. So she had to give them a proof of, uh, one of, uh, one of the first. her uh so i forgot what it was called one of her um i forgot what it's called it's some sort of like uh documentation so she put it in the envelope threw up in the envelope and left it in front of the building it's so fucking funny but sad it's funny it's so sad that's like i don't know it's like it's like i remember hearing like oh yeah my insurance doesn't cover pre-existing conditions and i'm

like that's what that's what that is what do you fucking mean pre-existing conditions? I don't know. Like, if they find out, if they find out you had your, your, the origin of your problem is months ago, you can't,

sorry. It's such, it's such a fucking schemers wonderland over here, man. Like, I'm just like, the less we have, so,

you know what, fair enough, we have less to worry about that now, I guess. I don't think this applies to me because I don't think I, I took any, I do think I took a loan,

but I paid off my shit already. The, and you know what, honestly, also, by the way, as someone who paid off my loans, who is not going to see anything from this, so what? Like I really, I don't, it's, it reminds me of,

like the logic is very similar to me of like, well, why would you use electricity when our ancestors couldn't use it? It's like, just because things were harder, doesn't mean they have to be that hard forever. And by the way, this whole thing wasn't even the necessity in the first place. Again, this is all just like a fucking scheme. So the fact that the scheme no longer exists shouldn't be a... Oh, we should keep the scheme going because tradition.

Fuck that, dude. What about all the military benefits are going to be off for people? Debt for getting is going to ruin the military sign-up rate. It's like, suck my dick, bro. Eat my balls. The idea that, like, people need to be goaded into signing up for the military because it's the only way that they can get alleviation from a scheme is a One sweet, melty bite of a Hershey's bar, and suddenly I'm right back sitting on the front porch with my grandmother on a slow summer afternoon.

She doesn't say much, just breaks the bar in half and hands me a piece. I open my mouth to say whatever a nine-year-old wants to say. And she replies with a low, listen. So we sat there, listening.

From Morgan and Morgan, America's Large Injury Law Firm, thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit for the people.com for an office near you. Like, you should join the military for if you, like, believe in serving your country. That should be good enough. That should be good enough of a reason for you to join the military. And if that's not a good enough reason, then maybe you should address why.

Maybe you should, I don't know, maybe make the country worth serving in some way, shape, or form. Yeah, that'd be. Maybe that'll help. That'd be crazy, but like. But, oh, well, whatever. There's some stuff going on with Dan Schneider from Nickelodeon. There's always more, bro. There's always more with that guy.

Yeah, so obviously, if you guys aren't aware by now, my future wife, Jeanette McCurdy, put out a book recently. And it was about, it's called I'm glad my mom died. And I haven't read it yet. I have a hardcover. I don't know if it's actually hardcover. I have a physical copy of the book coming because I'm trying to get like, actually. I don't know if I like Kindle shit. You know what I mean?

I feel like I need a physical book. So I haven't read it yet, but it's apparently very good and very interesting. There's a lot of insight into like, you know, stuff that went on during obviously her time of Nickelodeon. I think they said something like they offered her money to wear a bikini or something, like some weird shit. And it's like, all right, this is fucking weird. And I think since then some other stuff, no doubt sparked because this book came out. What was it? Daniela Monet.

Which, by the way, that's a name that I thought was a completely different person. Really? For some reason, I thought Daniela Monet was like some jazz singer that I had never seen. That's what you call it. Something Monet. Lisa Monet. No, not Lisa Monet. Lisa Monet is Jason Momoa's ex-wife.

That's what I'm talking about. Chanel Monet. Yeah, Chanel Monet. That's what it was. That's what she was. Yeah, so I think, what is it? Danielle Monet reveals she once reached out to Nicolian about a Victoria scene she felt might be too sexual to air, but they aired it anyway. And there's honestly, like, looking back at those shows, it's kind of astounding.

Dude, there's scenes in Victoria's that we've seen together. We've been like, yo, that's edging it. But that's why all the teenage boys liked Victoria. That's why I like that show. No, I think it was the thing. The thing is, if I was. born, I think, three years later, I would have been all over victorious. Because victorious came at a point where, like, it, you know, that wasn't doing anything for me.

I already, I already knew what the internet was. But if I was, if I was like a younger guy and I didn't really understand, like, I don't know how to Google boobs, you know. Lunchtime, bro. That would, I would have been all over that show, man. I would have had a lunchbox. But I had a victorious lunchbox. There are scenes in that show that are straight up Cam girl fucking things

Like just straight up Like actually Like I think there's one of Ariana Grande Like upside down pouring water on her chest And it was just like There's no context It doesn't even have anything to do with the show It's just footage

It's just footage It's just footage I'm convinced that half of that shit Wasn't even written And I'm sure that Dan was like Hey do this It's for the credits. I bet he has like a million videos that were for the credits that were never in the credits.

That are just fuck. Yeah, I mean? It's just like on his personal fucking 18 terabyte hard drive of fucking CP. 18 terabytes of CP. That's so much. That's insane. Yeah. There's always more with Dan.

There's always more. Yeah, there's something going on. Like, I'm, because he quietly kind of. was released from Nickelodeon, I'm pretty sure, right? I think he was. Because I don't think he's making shows anymore. But I don't know, man. It's so fucking weird.

So bizarre. Anyway, there's definitely going to be stuff coming out about that later on at some point. I feel like this book is kind of like the thing that we've been waiting for as far as like anybody who's paid attention to Dan Schneider. I feel like this is going to be the thing where everybody's going to be like, Now come to think of it, actually. Yeah, it's going to be the time. The tide's going to start moving. And then Dan Schneider is going to be like, ah, you guys finally found me.

He's going to be a boss fight. We're going to have to take down Dan Snyder. We're going to lose. We're going to lose brutally. And it would have all been, and it all would have been because of Jeanette McCrary. I knew there was something. I knew there was something about her that was worth keeping an eye on. And this was definitely it.

So that's happening. All right. And it's fucking nutty. Dragon Ball Superhero. Yes. great I don't you like when thinking about it

I liked it a lot I I obviously not as good as Broly I think it was a better movie than Broly

but the animation in Broley was so fantastic that that I can understand

why you could enjoy watching it more yeah it's a visually stunning Oh beautiful bro

but but this one like I don't know like this new one, it kind of started off kind of like, eh, I remember, I remember feeling like, oh my God.

Like, it's charming in the way that Toriyama stuff usually is, but I was just like, I don't know. It felt very, it felt like Toriyama relaxing and making Dragon Ball again, opposed to him making Dragon Ball Z, which I really enjoyed. Because the nature of Dragon Ball

was fun. Dragon Ball Z was more epic, but Dragon Ball was fun. It was always like a good time. Yeah. Even when Goku ripped through a fucking army and murdered hundreds of people, you know? Like, it was still a good time. Hundreds of people who, by the way, were just doing what they were told.

Yeah, it did feel like the... I didn't really watch a lot of Dragon Ball, but I do think it felt like... It felt like the action of Z with like some more of it like an adventure. Like slice of life. Like seeing... Not even slice of life necessarily. There was some slice of life stuff with Gohan. But I think seeing what do you call?

Seeing. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Spoilers ahead. We're going to spoil things because we've seen this. Well, I don't think it's that much of a spoiler. But I'm not going to spoil anything. I'm nothing major anyway. I'm going to spoil shit.

I don't care. There's a scene where Piccolo is in disguise, and I think it's genuinely one of the funniest things I've ever seen. It's hilarious. There's like a scene where he's like flying a ship and he's. talks about how he never got his license. It's just a really charming. There's a bunch of moments, you know. It's very,

it's very charming to see these characters act as if, because I don't know. Like, I guess it's, I guess. The canon of Dragon Ball feels like it's not really there at moments, but this moment felt like, like when he threw Gohan his glasses and he was like, oh man, I fucking missed it. And he was like, do you have, are you, what's

wrong with your eyes? And he was like, while I'm fighting, my eyes are more acute. But when I'm not, when I'm lax, Well, no, well, no, he acts, Piccolo straight up asks him. He's like, does your vision improve when you go Super Sand? What, like, he asked that question. And like, there's a lot of like little things like that that happened.

Because you know what? He threw him the Pitar earrings and he missed it. It's just, it feels like, it feels like as a Dragon Ball fan for the last 20 plus years, this movie was like, if you remember, if you watch this stuff here, here's all this cool moments. for you as a fan. I really enjoyed it. It, it, it,

it, it, it, especially the Gohan pan Piccolo combo, like that stuff, it, it,

it, it felt to me, not exactly, because obviously it's an anime fucking movie, but it, it had like a tone of like,

I don't even know, like, like, like, like an 80s kind of, like a, like a, like a John Hughes movie almost.

Like something, something about, something about, something about Picolo, going to Gohan and being like why can't you pick up your fucking daughter like what's wrong with it and that he like puts the shoulder pads on and he's like struggling with it

he was like you could do man you you didn't struggle with it when you were a kid and just like little things like that where it's like it felt they felt like real people yeah opposed to opposed to the Dragon Ball characters they felt they felt like characters

more than the warriors they've been for so long you know yeah so in that in that respect it is some, I think it's written better than Broly maybe. I really enjoyed it being, Gohan's a favorite Dragon Ball Z character. So them giving Gohan and Piccolo more shine and finally like these power-ups that are like outrageous.

It was really cool. I didn't like that it was sell again. Yeah, it's, but it was fine. It was fine. You know, it was like, you know what? But it makes sense that it would be. He would be the character that pulled out of Gohan, you know, so yeah. Well, not even, it's,

thematically from that point, yeah. But it also just like, canonically, like, it's red ribbon. Like, I, I, I, I, it makes sense to me. I enjoyed it. And Gamma, Gamma 1 and two were cool. I, uh, it was fun. I, I, I will say though, like, I don't know if I'm the biggest fan of the 3D anime. The animation, the animation definitely improved during combat.

When they were fighting, it definitely got way better. And I was like, whoa. Because they improved it from like the first trailers they show, they improved it. And then when it went into fighting, it went from like, oh, this looks really, really, really really good. So I appreciate that. It was great fighting. I just feel like the moment to moment like normal speaking and and walking and like normal stuff felt very bizarre.

Like there's a scene where Vegeta and Goku are kind of like off training and it's just like they look so bizarre. That final moment also for the training, that final moment at the end of the movie was so finally great because that was a moment that like every. Everyone has wanted for so long. It was just like, thank goodness. So I really appreciate it. It was fun.

I enjoyed every moment of it. I thought it was really cool. I hope they keep this train going with Gohan where he's not the main character. He's not the leader of the pack when it comes to power. But he is in his own right, an extraordinarily formidable warrior, you know? Yeah. Because there's no reason. It is the way they built him up.

There's no reason why he shouldn't just be getting left behind. by his dad and stuff like that. Yeah. But I want to see him fight Vegeta, though. That I want to see. Yeah. It was a very good... It was a very fun movie to watch.

First TV. And it's a lot funnier than I thought it was going to be. The fact that it was a Piccolo movie is hilarious to me. Yeah, Piccolo is great. Like, this reminded me that Piccolo is actually wonderful as like a character. He is. Because the situation is so much funnier, you know? Because Vegeta's situation is very, like...

sort of like more noble in a sense. Well, Vegeta just has the, Vegeta has the best arc for sure. But like I think Piccolo, Piccolo has this arc where he became, he was like a demon king and now he's just a guy. Like he's like,

he's like, he's just like your friend. You know, Piccolo was went from like being like a, like literally like a huge monster to like a surrogate dad for Gohan. And like, a grandpa to like pan. It's just like this is insane that this is the same piccolo that killed Kerylian

35 years ago, you know? It is kind of weird that they're just chilling. Yeah, man. I guess when death has no consequence, you just kind of get over that kind of thing. That's a different him, bro. That's the argument. He's like, that's not me anymore, bro. They dress that a lot too, like different, like canonical.

Like, oh, like little things that happen in Dragon Ball, like relating to scale. They like, oh yeah, I can do that. Like, it's, it, it rewards you for paying attention. It was a good movie. I don't know if I'll see it again like I did with Broly, but. Oh, Broly's just, that fight is someone's. That fight with someone's also seeing Goldens and Trump, go to grow up finally.

Finally grow up. I was like, Jesus Christ. They've just been little boys for so long. And they address that awkward transition in Dragon, where it's like where go go is a child and then like in the next episode he's tall he left for a year he left for like a year and some change and he can know what was it was a year was it was it a year it was it was less dude he grows up in the middle of the fight like no no it's not a middle of fight they it's the next tournament remember they have the tournament he lose the tinshenon and then he comes

back and they're like what i'm saying is that they they because they i think they say something it's like yeah saying is we stay small for a while and then one day we just hit a big growth spur. And like he mentions that. Is it one day? No. He says, yeah, because I remember watching an episode like the main part of Dragon Ball. And I felt really confused because it was Kid Goku and then it wasn't.

No, but that episode, I know episode you're talking about. It's when he shows back up and he takes his turban off to grab the thing for Boma. That was a time skip. I forgot how long it was. I understand that. But I think it read to a lot of people as he just grew up. and I think because that's been I feel like they just canonized that with that line

It's like such a weird thing It's a weird thing to say if that's not What the general perception is I can't say that It's not that was so funny Because Pickle was like who the fuck are these got What You guys are tall and

And freaking trunks his hair is blue Like future trunks is now Yeah Which is insane I was just like it's It's but this is stuff from us as fans And as fans of Dragon Ball We notice all this shit

And that's what it's meant to do so I really appreciate it overall a very good movie I enjoyed it I watch it again once it's on a streaming service I might not go pay money to go see it again yeah because I saw broly on a porn set you know I didn't see broly in a movie theater so I think I saw broly I think I saw broly in the movie theater I'm not sure anyway let's move out of some questions e-booky wrote in he says hello mr. Stark mr. Stark mr. Tank and Mr. podcast I don't really have a 45 tangent worthy a 45-minute tangent-worthy question,

so I'll just say I've been a huge fan since the Meat Canyon cameo. Well, episode, you could say, he didn't cameo. He was, he was, we did an episode with Meat Canyon, right? Yeah, he's on here. Yeah, right? I'm not crazy. The kid's so confused. And your intelligent ramblings have gotten through my eight-hour shifts

of cleaning dog hair from bathtubs. Keep up the amazing work, and I hope each of you have a fulfilling rest of your 2022. Thank you, E-Buggy. Much appreciated. One sweet, melty bite of a Hershey's bar, and suddenly I'm right back sitting on the front porch with my grandmother on a slow summer afternoon. She doesn't say much, just breaks the bar in half and hands me a piece.

I open my mouth to say whatever a nine-year-old wants to say. And she replies with a low, listen. So we sat there, listening. That was the first time I learned that quiet can feel full. Hershey's. It's your happy place. I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan.

Hey, how's it going today? It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan and Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I saw Billboard of years recently that said 20 billion one. 20 billion is an insane number. Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and badder and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on.

Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. That's pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7, 365.

Wow. Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's Large Injury Law Firm, thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit for thepeople.com for an office near you. And, let's see, boy whose name is Tom. Tom boy, not a tomboy, Rodin. This is greetings, manhors.

Which games have you 100% finished? All missions, all collectibles. I don't have many of these. I have a bunch. I can't believe I have that many. Because I remember the last time we were talking about it, you're like, I have like two. And then I listed off like nine. I have a, yeah, I have a handful.

Like, for me, it's like, I think the, one of the original Crash Bandicoot's, I think it was Crash Bandicoot 2, I 100%ed. I platinumed Spider-Man PS4, Ape Escape, and Crash Team Racing. And I think I got 100% of the achievements in Halo 3 ODST and Halo 3. But, like, when I, 100% a game, it's usually because it's a game that I really, really like and really, really respect and really, really love. I'm not going to 100% a game that I think is kind of okay. Or something that I think is like, you know, it's good, but, you know, it's kind of. this kind of, you know, I can't, there's too many good games to play. Sometimes I'll play a game for like 15, 20 minutes and they'll just put it down forever. Or I'll come back to it in like

four years like I did with Prey. Like I played, I think, two hours of Prey when it first came out and I was like, this sucks. I don't get it. And now it's like one of my favorite games of all time. I would say, so I have 100,000. percented kingdom hearts one chain of memories all the kingdom hearts two days birth by sleep

3b and 3 3 that's all I've 100% in all of those games I'm pretty sure 3 I want percent I'm not exactly sure I got the ultimate keyblade so I'm pretty sure you have to 100% to get that then I want to send a Spider-Man PS4 Miles Morales as well

and a persona 4 those are all the games I wanted to percent it. And I realized how much time I wasted on Kingdom Hearts in my life and it hurts me. That hurts me to my soul. But also at the same time, I can't help, but part of me still loves that franchise. I'd never play. I don't ever play it again, but it hurts me that I, that I did that. Oh, man. That's, you know, I remember my first, my first interaction with Kingdom Hearts 2. That was, that was what it was. It was kingdom hearts two and I was over a friend of mine's house. and he was like, you got to check this out.

And I was like, what is it? And he's like Disney and Final Fantasy. I was like, I don't care for either of those. And then he said, nah, man, trust me. And he was playing his first play-through of Kingdom Hearts. And he got to a point and then he hands me the controller. And like, I think two minutes after I'm holding out of the controller, the Little Mermaid sequence for Kingdom Hearts 2.

That is the worst place to play in that game. That was my first impression of Kingdom Hearts. and I cannot separate it from the rest of it now. It is like tattooed in my brain. It's a shame. Obi-Wan Chablomy wrote in. He says, Hey, guys, do you think Andrew Tate's influence on 11-year-olds is a genuine concern?

Or do you think these kids will parrot a shit for the next few years before it grows old and they move on? We kind of went over this earlier, but I don't think, I don't actually think it's like a major. Like, I feel like this happens all the time. I think it happens, like everything, like the, like the Trumpism, that's potential to become a problem. You know, like everyone's like like, like Trumpism, it has a potential to become a problem.

But I don't think, I don't think it'll be as horrible. Though people that have those mentalities kind of just have them and people that don't just don't, you know. So they would show up, they might show up more or you might hear about a little more than before. I don't think it would be a huge problem. I could be wrong. And I also could foresee myself being incorrect about that, which would really suck. But I don't think it is going to become as big as a problem that some people make it out to be. I don't think.

But it could. It could. The way that I feel about it is kind of like the way people would talk about like the all right pipeline to me where it's like, you know, I watched a video and then I, I sudden, I believed that black people were inferior. And it's, and it's, it's, it's that video's fault. And I can't help. And for me, it's like, look, man, I've been exposed to all sorts of extremist content throughout my entire life. Not once was I ever convinced that like, anyone was less than anyone else. Like, for me, it was already inside of you, bud.

Don't blame that video entirely. That video just spoke to your heart. That's all it did. That's kind of where I, that's kind of where my feeling is. It's like, how is, like, that was, I never experienced that. Like I was watching, and I was watching, like, not necessarily because I was a fan, but I was watching because I was like, what the fuck? This is so fascinating that these are real people. People like Stefan Malinue and, and, you know, even just like, they're, I mean, I'm trying to remember the names, but they were so dumb.

Is that Japanese Texan guy? I forgot his name. Oh, fuck. We used to make fun. He sounded like Hank Hill, but he was like. Negroy's calm. One sweet, melty bite of a Hershey's bar and suddenly I'm right back. sitting on the front porch with my grandmother on a slow summer afternoon.

It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and batter and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on.

Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. That's pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7, 365. Wow. Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's Large Injury Law, thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit forethepeople.com for an office near you. No, we look at it. The hot man. Yeah. Oh my God. What the fuck was he? Was he actually Asian or was he Japanese? He lived in, he was born or something, I think he lived in Japan, so he spoke fluent Japanese, but he had that English, I don't know what the fuck. He was a weirdo. He was that Jared Taylor or something. He was like this race realist guy who was like very, and I watched these videos. I remember being like, okay, this is what this guy believes, but like I don't know. I just, I never found myself being swayed. What happened? What happened is that you've already had experiences. That's the thing, you know. That's the problem where we are, we are from melting pots, you know, We are two people that come from multi-we're both multicultural people that have very mixed-up families from New York. You know, like we could not avoid diversity. We couldn't.

It was forced down our throats before I had anything to say about it. I had cousins who were skin was white and cousins who were darker than me. And my grandmother would make us all food and we would all play as little kids. So my perspective about people's color from the very beginning of my conception, was already going to be, that's just another person to me. But the idea is that, like, some people don't have that. And that's what the problem can come from. Because these people, and the internet has made small minority so loud that it sometimes draws people in that are impressionable.

So that's where the problem comes from, where we might hear about it more. It might that, and then someone else might jump on that pipeline. And the fact that he's banned, it might make people sort of rally for him in a way that might not be the best thing. But I really, I don't exactly think it'll be around forever. But we'll see. This is why I support nice, sensible, moderate misogyny. And what I mean by that is. And all I mean by that is I think guys, you should be able to speak about women.

the same way that women speak about guys. I sincerely, I sincerely believe that. I think you should be able to be like, you know what? Women ain't shit. I think you should be able to say that. And I think that should be fine. You know, look, I'm not going to act like, so we can do that. Right.

We can do that in our friend group. Oh, I can do whatever the fuck I want. I mean, yeah, yeah, sure. But the thing is that we do that our friend all the time. Well, someone's girlfriend annoys them, when we come over or play at Smash Bros. Like, complaining about girls. And all of us are like, God damn it, you're right.

All this shit. But that conversation needs to be had because of the fact that there's no real, you can't exactly tell if there's real hate about it. But more often than not, there isn't. There isn't real prejudice and hatred behind those things. And people need to voice these things because what happens is that they don't voice these opinions. And then they get hit with this degree of feeling othered for having opinions that aren't even that bad. They're just like, oh, sometimes girls really annoying me. because of the things they say about men without repercussions, you know?

And it's like, yeah, dude, someone gets to be like, yeah, dude, someone has my opinion. But think of how many times women have had repercussions for things they can't even control. You know, but most people be like, yeah, you're right. You're right. That's right. I'm just really upset with this one world this moment. And that's it.

One thing, one thing I will firmly stand by, it's like, listen, man, if you're going to hit somebody, you better, you best be ready to get hit. I'm sorry. Yeah, you got to teach. You got to teach. Look, look, look, look, look. look, this is my thing, right? This is my thing, right?

This is my... I exist in a duality here. I said it's on one of the episodes of the last episode. Or like, I... I am from a place where if you talk shit, you get hit, you know? I'm from a place where that was very real. But at the same time, I also exist where it's like,

there's always... Every time I've got into a fist fight, I sit down and I think about it. And I'm like, there was a better way. We could have just used our words. or I could have not done. I just didn't have to hit the guy, you know? But it's really hard to tell somebody that when someone just punched you in your face, you know? It's really hard.

So I'm in a middle where I'm like, just don't hit anybody. Don't be very rude to anybody. Just let's just, it's just middle ground. Let's this be moderate. Everybody, let's be moderate. Middle. Middle. Middle.

Middle. Middle. Don't go too far. Don't not go too far. Middle. Oh my God. The spider that crawls in your mouth while you sleep, Brod in he says,

Skull, brothers. My question this time is, what is the best or weirdest nickname you've ever had? I used to do landscaping, and for three years I did it. Wait, for three years I did it. I was called radio. Radio

Wait, you didn't You didn't elaborate on that Like I'm curious as to why Was, isn't radio that Cuba Gooding Jr. movie about the disabled football player or something? I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know what I don't know. You don't know that movie radio? Being deadches, I don't know what you mean. Radio movie. Am I going to get a movie about radios? No, no. Yeah, radio.

Cuba Gooding Jr. Radio is a two 2003 American semi-biographical sports drama film directed by inspired by the The True Story of TL? Who's that? Wait, maybe I'm wrong. What was radio's disability? James Radio.

Who was what was radio's disability? I'm reading, I'm not Googling that. I'm reading that. No, no, no, that's been Googled. That's what makes it funny. It says, people also ask, is radio movie a true story? What was

radio's disability? It says intellectual disability. James Radio Kennedy was an American man with an intellectual disability was known for his association with T.L. Hanna High School Football. I don't know. Whatever. What's radio? What can't radio do like regular kids?

So if your nickname was radio, I'm very curious as to as to what that situation was. Also, side question for Derek. Can't ask him because he's gone. Sorry. Derek's not alive. Sorry.

I'll keep this highlighted in blue in the document. So we'll keep this and we'll ask him for you next time when he's on. So don't worry. Your question will be completed in the next episode of the Star Trek podcast. But in the meantime, I've only ever had one nickname and it was Nemesis for fucking ever. Until like maybe like a year or two after I moved out here, it was Nemesis. I think, and then everybody stopped saying it, thankfully. But I don't know why, still, to this day, I have no real solid explanation.

I don't think there was one, quite frankly, because Jalen came up with it. It's Jalen, there's no rhyme or reason. You know, it's never, there's no, this happened, so this happened. It was. Well, it was better than that, uh, I don't know. Like, I look at some of the other nicknames that, that were assigned by those two. And I'm like, I, yeah, but. Knocker was one of them. There was one kid we called Auschwitz because it was skinny.

So that was, you know, in comparison to some of the other ones, you know, I lucked out with nemesis. It's fairly, it's fairly tame and innocuous. Yeah. My nicknames were, I was called, my grandmother called me Binka because that's like a Caribbean thing. Rather than that, that was my weirdest thing. It was always like Kingston. It was like Kingie. hate that hate that that's my grandmother's like go-to she called me kingy when she saw me immediately with lily in new york and i was so upset i was like i can't believe that you have dementia and you still got that you still have that nickname downloaded you didn't forget that

that's part of the o s it is it's kingy and in uh kingston that's about it or king nothing no no real nicknames here man i was no standard name wise. I mean, you also have a name that's probably not super common, so that probably helps. Like usually nicknames are four people who like, because Chris is like a fucking dime a dozen name. Like there's like a million fucking Chris's. Even in every class that I've ever had, there's been, I was always like the fourth or fifth Chris. And some of them would be girls also.

It's like, it's just too common of a fucking name. I don't know what was going. Your name is probably the most common unisex name, I'd probably say. Probably. It's a fucking, because there's so many different variations of there's like Krista, there's Christina, there's Krista, there's Christina, there's like a fucking, you know, there's Christian, Christopher, there's like different spellings of each of those names too with like K's and fucking no H's and shit. It's just fucking all over the place. It's also like the biggest holiday in the world and it's also the name of God. you know, so it's just a very common fucking thing, you know. It just be like that, bro. So nobody's fault.

I don't know what's going on, but like I think specifically in the early 90s, a lot of people were naming their kids, Chris, and I don't know why. Because specifically, I feel like that was the time for a lot of Chris's. Because I talked to a lot of, like, my nieces and nephews growing up now,

and they don't know any. And that's kind of impossible. Like, I don't know how you, I don't know how you don't know of Chris. I don't know. know how you don't know it Chris. Yeah. Even just in Hollywood, bro.

Like fucking Hemsworth. I think in the Avengers, they're like fucking 80. There's Chris Pratt, Chris Hemsworth. Hemsworth. Hemsworth?

And each year we get bigger and batter and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's fucking Nova. But, yeah. So what else we got? We got another story. No, we're doing questions now. many questions. Wait, what did you think? Oh, what's going to?

Oh, what's going to? Chris Chan potentially breaking out of freaking jail. Oh, my God. Chris Chale breaking out of Arkham. That's insane. There's no way that that's real. Has that been confirmed? No, I don't think it's been confirmed.

Christian. Escape Arpum. Exclusive. Internet personality, Christian did not escape jail despite viral rumors. Okay. Did you imagine? Could you imagine? If Christian of all people escaped the police, I would have a lot of questions about what this.

So there's two possibilities in that scenario. Either Christian is far more powerful than we gave him credit for. Far more. Or the police are way, way more incompetent than we even thought was possible. So I'm glad that neither of those things are necessarily up front. If he broke out, that means he's. He's. Oh, and by the way, I want to address this also.

If she breaks out. No, no, no, no. No. I want to address this as well. I'm misgendered. I'm sorry. And I want to address this as well and I want to say this because I'm sure we have some trans listeners. I know we do, in fact.

Christian is not trans. Christian has gone on the record. We don't dictate that. No. No. That's not me saying that. Chris Chan has literally, he's gone on record to say like he, he, he, he, he, he, transitioned because he thought it would get,

he thought it would make it easier for him to hook up with women if he was a woman. That is him saying that. I'm sorry. Like, I just, I, I can't take him seriously in this regard. And I feel like people who are,

like, getting it on the defensive about this guy in particular, cool it. I understand there are a lot of, it's not that, like, I have to respect you in order to call you what you are. That's not what I'm saying.

I'm saying this guy is a fucking demon. And he is admitted. This guy's a fucking demon. For real, for real. Like, I don't know. If I were, I don't know. If I were trans, I wouldn't necessarily be like on the batting team for this person. Being like, oh, well, his identity matters.

It's like, it does, which is why when he says, I did this for pussy, I believe him. I don't think he's smart enough to lie. Quite honestly. So everybody who jumps down our throats whenever we say he, when we're talking about Christian, just know that we're right. But yeah, that that's just fucking crazy. I can't believe that. So is that trial happening?

Christian trial. We would have seen more from it if the trial was happening. I think it's being planned or something. I don't even know. That situation is just, it's just anime levels of ridiculous. It's a late game Naruto end of like, just like this character can't be real. This can't be a real story. I can't believe

Jonathan Young came over to our house and we were talking about terrible things and it started with Chris Chan. The first was Christian and then they were talking about like the terrible nature of Brianna Taylor's passing. That is how much darkness Chris Chan

unincereately brings with her. It's just it's just wild it's so much I started talking about it and my room got darker because the light can't exist where that person is being brought up

let's we got to have more questions let's just move on before I cry yeah yeah oh by the way before we forget since you reminded me of an internet personality kind of losing their mind. Yep. We kind of debate. I know I debated personally talking about this

because I don't know what the hell is going on and I feel like she might be going sincerely insane and I don't necessarily want to pile onto that but at the same time it is notable. Gabby Hannah's losing her shit and I don't know what exactly is going on. She tweeted or she did a... What did she do? She posted like a...

thousand TikToks or something shit. She's like a bunch of TikToks. Like over 100 in like a small amount of time where she's just ranting and raving and she said this one weird thing about, do you remember what she said about black mothers? Like black people, black women are beautiful because they have to. Black women have more of a connection to God because of the fact they have to deal with the father's leaving. Yeah.

And I was just like, oh, no, she broken. That is the kind of, that's what I, that is, when I think of like an overcompensating left-leaning person, that's what I think of. It's like somebody who's like really racist, but in a way that they think sounds nice. It's like, it's like, man, black people struggle so hard. Speaking of racism with people, people not turning. So, I don't know if you saw this, but there was this, um, a new class. the D&D came out and it was the a class that is a very simian like they're like monkeys and they can glide and they have like like like skin wings it allows them to

glide wait wait wait wait wait wait what are you saying it's just I'll send it to you real quick but it's pretty much this race of like like primate D&D characters the whole race added to the game where they can glide they have like monkey they're like monkeys who have wings and they can glide and they can like you know They're just monkeys for the most part And some girl was like Do you not see how this is racist? And I'm like

What? And she's talking about how Because they're apes It's racist to people of color And we're like miss No No you're filling in blanks right now That's not the case

I have to find it and send it to you Well, what was the thing called? I forgot. The race. I don't even remember. Simian. I found it. I sent it to you right now.

I'll open it up on Twitter. You're going to be shocked. You're going to be just read the comment. Yeah. Yeah. Send it to me on Twitter. And then we'll, I mean, if anybody's listening to the podcast, you can just, like, probably type in the words that I'm going to say on Google and you'll find the tweet. If it's still up.

Is it still up? It should be. Yeah, I see it I see it at least It should be here Yeah, just send it to me on Twitter I want to see this It's fucking

That's so funny That's exactly what I'm talking about It's like this weird The overcompensating Kind of It's what is it It was a benevolent racism It's yeah

It's the kind of racism Where it's like I think I think you're I think you think that It's so funny Read it great wait oh all right hold on what i'm gonna wait wait all right hold on

that is racist there's no other way to what there's no other way to prove it how the images and mannerisms explain you don't see it the ape-like look the way they behave and act to kind of close it oh my god no what the fuck are you talking they got lutes one of them wearing leather armor One of them's holding two swords. That, that, that, what the fuck is that? I can't, I couldn't take, I couldn't be on enough shrooms.

That was racist. To see this. To see this as black people. That is fucking hilarious. Oh my God, this is wonderful. All right, so. It's so crazy because I was just like, What?

That is astonishing. It's so funny. If a white person's response to monkey race in fantasy game is make sure to. Yeah, I. Wow, bro. That's hilarious. I love that. It's so funny.

That's my favorite shit. I love it when people do that. All right. Oh, God. That fucked me up. I have like this fucking, this chest cold thing. That's like really fucking. me up and I actually, oh, that was rough. An overly apologetic midwesterner wrote in says,

Hello, All. Sorry for making Chris Short's circuit with my last question. I will try to be more concise with this one. Recently, I went through a breakup. There was no incident or a fight that led to it, just us realizing it wasn't meant to be. We agreed that we could still be friends, but she wants us to break from interacting so there can be a clear transition from dating to being friends. That's smart, by the way. That's how you do that. That is, I would argue, I don't think it's possible without that. That is like a very, very, very necessary thing. So good on you for making that mature decision.

My question is, do you have any advice about the situation and trying to stay friends with the next other than giving it time and space? How do I navigate the situation in a way that this break isn't? Wait, how do I navigate the situation so that this break isn't permanent? As always, thanks for the entertainment. I'm going to say, I'm just on harsh. I'm just on harsh real quick. Go ahead.

Go ahead. Sometimes people are just not meant to exactly. being your lives in a way that you want them to, you know? Right. Some people, at a certain point, some people just don't rock well together, you know? Some people can do it. Some people can become friends again and it'll be fine, but there are times where, you know,

there's a certain underlying level of attraction that leads to trouble or there is this tension that exists under the surface that bubbles up at wrong time. So if you take your time and you realize, that you go back and things just aren't mashing up well, except the fact that this friendship may just not need to be. You know, I myself have tried to become friends with people that I've broken up with. And because of this underlying level of just weird energy between us,

we always had a falling out or like something would happen that would just make all the progress we made zoom right back to where it was before. So for me personally, I've realized that some people are just not meant to be your friends. You guys can have one kind of relationship and then if they didn't work that way, then I'm sorry. I'll always have respect for you, but our friendship might not really be the best thing. Right. Yeah, I think that's fair. I don't know. I think generally speaking, like I've remained on pretty good terms with, I think the overwhelming majority of my exes. very there's a few who have remained pretty good friends

the others I'm just like you know if they show up it's not a huge deal but I would say that that break in time is very necessary by the way that break in time needs to be long yeah it can't be quick it can't be like it can't be like oh it's been three weeks no you need it needs to be like time I would argue I would I would argue sincerely like for the for everyone's health no less than a year. I think it's possible to get away with like maybe less than that, maybe like 10 months or something.

But like I think you need a significant amount of time. It's possible to get, it's possible to, I would say it may be possible to be done in months, but I've never seen it. I've never seen it. I've had that like with with with I think, um, uh, I mean, it's been so long at this point. I can, I can probably talk about this. It's not a big deal. But like when Lacey and I split up, that was, uh, you know, that we, we tried to like stay

in touch a little bit, like, initially, where it was like, oh, yeah, we'll still be friends or whatever. And we did that and it just wasn't working. It was too, it was too fucking weird. So I was like, all right, listen, we're just, we're just going to, I'm just going to not speak to you. And we're just kind of, we're kind of going to want to stay separate for a while. And it was about nine or ten months of just complete separation. And by the time I felt comfortable getting back to it, it was totally fine. You know, and that's exactly the kind of, like, that's, but that's what I'm saying. Even 10 months is like, that's bare minimum to me.

You need real separation. You need sincere separation. You need to get back. You need to get right with yourself first. I would, I would also suggest that maybe not everybody, like you said, you don't have to be friends with every single X of yours. I don't even think that's possible. But, you know, there are definitely some people that I've dated who are like really,

really good friends of mine still to this day. And I don't, I would not have. have it any other way. But that's hard for a lot of people to do also. It's hard, because it's hard to, it's hard to like, I don't know, like, imagine, imagine this girl you really like, right, is a big, a good friend with, like, one of your friends, you know, and you got to see them often, right out. We had tons of friends who did this. One of our friends, Elliot, broke up with this girl, decided to be friends with their very right afterwards, led to just constant disastrous,

just time and time again, a situation. And it's just like you can't do that. That's why you need, it's why you need that time. Because you don't, people don't get over people fast. It doesn't happen quickly.

It takes a while, especially if you're attracted to someone. Attraction takes forever to fade if it does, you know? Yeah. In all realness, if I'm being very real, you know. No, for real, yeah. attraction

attraction takes years to go away if it can go away if that if it can even go away at all I would argue I kind of argue that it technically doesn't unless like the person literally physically changes to a degree that's like unless they become like a fucking torso person

and they don't got arms well the thing is that attraction exists in such a in a spiritual sense metaphysical way you know because like let's say you're attracted to someone physically, right? You know, physical attractions alter and change.

Like, people, people are like, I know girls, guys that were into, like, really thin girls. And so they started, like, being really into big girls, into, like, thick girls, into, like, it changes, you know, your appetite changes for that. But if you're attracted to a person's personality, like, them as a being. One sweet, melty bite of a Hershey's bar, and suddenly I'm right back sitting on the front porch with my grandmother on a slow summer afternoon. She doesn't say much, just breaks the bar in half and hands me a piece. I open my mouth to say whatever a nine-year-old wants to say. And she replies with a low, Shh.

Listen. So we sat there. Listening. That was the first time I learned that quiet can feel full. Hershey's. It's your happy place. I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, hi, Dan.

Hey, how's it going today? It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan and Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I saw Billboard of years recently that said 20 billion one. 20 million is an insane number. Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and batter and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with you? Morgan and Morgan. What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing

pound law. That's pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7, 365. Wow. Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's Large Injury Law, from, thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit furtherpeople.com for an office near you. That's hard. That's a hard sale to just go away, you know? Because usually if you're like, oh, if you and this person vibe on like liking things, like you guys like the same movies, like the same games, have interesting conversations, X, Y, and Z, you know, things like that, that shit is just going to be there. Here's what I would say.

As somebody who has a decent amount of experience in this specific field, right? I would say, I would say this. I have never dated anybody. If I've dated somebody and stayed friends with them afterwards, even with a break, without a break, it is impossible for that to have happened without their having been a friendship prior to the existence of a relationship. And what I mean by that is

I have never swiped right on a dating app or met somebody from the internet with the intention of dating or hooking up and then broken up and then successfully had a friendship afterwards. That has never happened with me. The only people that has happened successfully with me are people that I knew before

that I had years or even just, even just months of like friendship experience with beforehand, transitioning into a relationship, the relationship doesn't work out, and then after a certain amount of time apart, things are fine. I've never done the whole relationship. I haven't been so, I'm going to be real with you, I haven't been in a dating game for a while, right? That's true. I haven't dated in a long time. So I would, I am out.

For me, I understand the people I was attracted to beforehand. A lot of them were terrible choices, and I know it's me. I understand it to me. I have terrible choice in most women. I've only had like maybe two good picks ever, ever. But so I know that like a lot of it is my choice of girls I would go after or I would like try to be with. But I know now that a lot of them, I realize that as people, they were not good for me. And I'm able to move on beyond that.

And then the one of them that I'm still, I can still myself friends with, we were kids and we realized that who we were going to become just wasn't working out. Yeah. And now we're at a point where we're just like, I respect you. I wish you nothing but the best. I hope your life is full of roses. And that's it. And we're just that. Right.

That happens. So all in all just saying, you know, but like take your time. Take your time. do your laps and then if it works out as friends it works out as friends but don't try to force it well because the thing

that the way that I think about it is like I have friends that I haven't seen in years you know that I haven't talked to in probably a long time and if I reached out to them today or if I went back to New York

or and said like hey I'm in town or whatever they would meet up with me no problem because they're my friends and it's not a huge deal that we're not constantly in contact and if you guys are going to have a strong friendship, then that separation, especially with the intention of healing,

shouldn't be a problem. You should be able to, at a certain point, be like, okay, I think I'm over this now and then reach out and then it's not a huge deal. And if you can't do that, then, you know, maybe it's not meant to be in the first place. And that's also fine. That's fine. And I know it sucks to hear that. But you can't be, one thing that's, you cannot be doing this with the intention of like,

maybe like, oh, maybe one day. Don't do that. You got to get that out. Get that shit out of your head. If it works in the future, it works in the future. But that should not be your intention. Don't hold that. Don't hold that for that. Don't waste your time.

It's a bad, it's a bad crux to heal on because you're not going to let you're going to not let yourself be able to enjoy everything without that person. And then someone could come by. That could be better for you. But you're holding on to this other person thing working out and that can ruin that. Trust me. Personal experience. You can, you can ruin that. 5,000 times personal experience.

Yeah. So don't. Absolutely. Don't be that guy. Don't be the guy that misses out on happiness because you still want some old pussy, bro. Don't be that guy. Don't because that guy's sad. That's a sad feller.

Oh, man. All right. An overly apologetic Midwesterner again. Oh, I guess. Oh, yeah, that's right. I kept this in for the next episode. Well, you know what? You'll get, you'll, you'll, I'll let you double dip since we missed the episode.

And overapologetic midwesterner again says, earlier you guys talked about your taste for most condiments in dipping sauces. My question is, what are your thoughts on meals where the condiment is part of the meal, like mayo on BLTs, Dijon mustard on Cubano's, or other Thousand Island dressing on Big Macs? I'm fine with all that shit. Yeah, I'm fine. I don't know. Generally, like, I'm a little bit more of a sauce person now than I used to be.

Mainly because, well, the thing is, like, my family, when they would cook, they would never make anything dry. They would always make, like, a really delicious shit. And I would never need sauce to like make anything edible. In the same way that like, you know, you go to a fucking fast food place and you're like, oh, man, I really need. I really need, or like a Popeye's biscuit when you're eating a Popeye's biscuit. You're like, oh my God, I'm going to die of thirst. You know.

But when I'm feeling that dry, my first thought is like, oh, I have a drink with my food. That's what the drink is for. it's the food is dry and then the drink kind of like it's alternate. I never really thought about sauce in that way because I don't know. Sauce is always integrated into the food in some way. Like my dad used to make these fried chicken wings

and I made them a couple times for our New Year's parties and our chickens giving things where the hot sauce, because my dad hated getting his hands messy but he liked the taste of hot sauce. So what he would do is like he would marinate the chicken in hot sauce and then fry it so it's still taste like hot sauce, but it didn't get your hands dirty. And that shit was delicious.

They are very good. Yeah. But, you know, I'm fine with mayo and... I'm not a sauce person. I'm never going to be. I just like, I like, I don't know. I have a very, I have a very weird tasteful set of taste buds where I like, I really like bland food as well as liking...

I'm similar. As well as liking, like seasoned food. Like, I like things that are like pallet clenders. Like, I love rice. I just love rice. I like bread. You know, like, I just like those things. So if I eat that.

If you, if you put in front of me a plate of white rice with like a slice of Italian bread, I'm happy. Yeah, I'm like, oh, that's fine. That's totally fine by me. Like, I'm all about it. Like, I like potatoes. I like just plain potatoes by themselves. Like, my taste buds are like, as much as I do like season food, but as I am a very Caribbean man, and I like seasoning and put an adobe and sassonne and like time and fucking.

I need seasoning. And like seasoning salt and all that stuff, if you give me a plate of rice, I'll be very content with this plain plate of rice. So I'm an oxymoron where that comes to that. I would say that I need seasoning on most things, except for white rice and bread. I just, I don't need those things. I don't need them. You don't need them? I don't know.

I don't need the food that needs to be seasoned. Well, I guess I can eat rice for a while. You would. Okay. But let me put it at this. way. You're eating rice. You're eating just a plate of like the things you get at the sushi restaurants where it's like a plate with like a bubble of white rice. It's static. Great. But then somebody gives you a plate of unseasoned chicken. Oh, that's just

disrespectful. Right, right, right. But they're both bland. No, no, no. That bland meat is disgusting. Bland meat is horrible because bland meat. Right. People that boil chicken need to be put in camps. That is fucking wild. You should not boil. I have, I have seen it and I'm like, why? The people who boil chicken should be boiled, I think. You should be put in a, you should be put in a situation where you have to bank for your life. You should be put in a situation.

I don't know. There's nothing, there's, you're not, there's nothing redeemable about you. You can't be redeemed. Just sear it. Just don't fucking boil it. What's your fucking problem? What's your malfunction? Just seared and throw a little bit of salt pepper on it.

You don't got to, you don't need, you don't need that. The thing for me was like, people would make fun of me all the time because I like, I would eat fries without ketchup. I do too. I don't like ketchup. Like, I don't need, first of all, ketchup, I think is gross. Jelly. This is fucking tomato jelly.

It's so disgusting. But even if all the other dipping sauces, like, I, like, I found myself doing this. I stopped doing it lately because I just don't care anymore. But like for a while, when I would order food or I'd go through a drive-thru and I'd be like, yeah, can I get the chicken fries or fucking whatever? I'd get chicken and fries and like a milkshake. And they'd be like, what dipping sauces do you have with that? I would just, I would say like, I don't know, like zesty and I would just say something, but I wouldn't use it because I didn't want them being like, you're not going to have any dipping sauce. Me too.

I would get McDonald's, I would get McDonald's like chicken nuggets. They'd be like, what kind of sauce when? I'd be like, I guess sweet and sour. that I would just not use it. They'll just eat the nut be by themselves. Yeah. Yeah. Because it's so stupid. It's so,

I understand some people, it's weird because the thing is that you shouldn't, you shouldn't need sauce for something to be good. If it doesn't have sauce naturally. Like, you know, like chicken parm has sauce. Right.

That's part of the dish. But if you're getting like wings, you shouldn't need the wings to have a packet of hot sauce on the side for it to be good. That's not, then it's not. good. It with the sauce is good. Make it with the sauce, you know? Well, the thing that people would say, it's like, I remember it would just bother me so much because I'm like, you don't, I heard this once and it made me so mad. It was like, oh, I can't eat fries without ketchup.

Um, I don't even really like fries. And I'm like, so why? So just drink the fucking ketchup then at that point. Like, what is, what are you ordering something that you don't like specifically so you can cover it in something that you do like so you can eat it. That is fucking insane. It's so weird. It's the same thing of people who are like, I can't eat broccoli without fried cheese on it or fucking set or like those people. Like just eat your fucking broccoli. Be an adult.

What the fuck are you doing? Be an adult. Be an adult. Eat your broccoli. I eat my, I eat my salad without dressing. All that shit. Because I'm like if I, because the way that I think about it is like, okay, I'm eating a salad specifically to be healthy, right?

That's my, that's my goal right now with a salad. It's like I'm trying to make an adult decision. and it eats something that is healthy. And if I put something that makes it taste better on it, logically, logically speaking, I know from all my experience on earth, if something tastes really good,

it's probably not all that good for you. Yeah. Unless it's fruits. Which means salad, unless it's fruits. But like with salads, if I'm going to make my salad taste better, then I'm technically making my salad less healthy.

Which, if I'm going to do that, why would I even be eating the fucking salad in the first place? If I'm going to be eating something less healthy than a Salad, I'm going to be eating something else. So let me just eat my fucking dry salad. And then I'll move on to my next meal later on whenever the fuck. That makes sense.

There's sense being made there, you know? It makes sense to me. But I don't know. Alas. I'm too passionate about this. You are. You are very bad. You're like halfway getting out your seat and shit.

I'm like, oh, man. George Hard R. Martin wrote in. He says, hello. Well, wait. What George Harder Martin? George Hard R. Martin, George Hard R. Martin wrote in. So that's cool. Hello, awesome. Chris, Rocking Derek.

Another one. Rocking Derek is dead. What is the angriest you have... What is the angriest you have made an adult? Mine is when I was in seventh grade and I made my guidance counselor have to walk away from me because my response to everything was whatever, whatever. I feel bad for your guidance counselor.

I feel bad for guidance counselors in general because my mom was a guidance counselor. She would always talk about how people were just like, my fucking God. She was actually so nice to people too. There's nothing worse now that looking back and seeing an asshole can be like you're going to get yours.

Oh yeah. Life is going to give you some pipe, bro. Have fun. I made one of my Spanish teachers so incensed. And Paul was there too. Paul was in that class. That's how I met Paul through that class. But this teacher got so upset with me

that she lifted me up by my shirt and threw me out of the class. This is like a very real experience. What did you do? Well, we, me and Rob, me and my friend Rob, I know Rob. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't want to say his last name. But me and Rob made it our goal to make this teachers every time we were in her class. Our goal was to make that class horrible. Oh, my God.

Because, and this is a very specific thing, I had no one. intention of doing that on the first day of school, the first week of school. I was just mind of my own fucking business. And then in my, because I had Spanish, I had Spanish and then afterwards I had lunch. So at the end of Spanish, I would always like, kind of, I was, I was always Jones in to get to lunch. And so I think, I think I checked my bag at the end of Spanish class just to make sure I had, just to make sure I brought my drink. And I brought like, obviously a glass and apple, a fucking salami sandwich and something else. I can't remember. I think it was, I think It was like a fucking orange or something.

But I pick it up and I dropped it. Like, I think, like, maybe like, not even a foot. But, like, it was enough for the glass in the snapple to crack and leak a little bit. So it was, like, leaking on the ground. I was like, God damn. I'm not going to have a drink. I'm going to have to drink fucking fountain water. And so I raised my hand to ask if I could, like, go, you know, get a napkin.

I literally raised my hand and ask for a position, hey, can I get a napkin so I can clean this up? And she goes, you're not allowed to have glass bottles in school. And I was like, what? And she was like, go to the detention room. Go to room 111. And I was like, what do you, what do you mean? I'm asking to clean this up. What's happening right?

I was so fucking confused because it came out of fucking nowhere. And then like, like three minutes later, Rob walks into the detention room. And he goes like, yeah, I stood up for you. I don't, I don't know. I didn't get it. Like, I don't. It seemed like a really dumb reason to be thrown into detention. And then we became friends.

And then after that, we just decided, you know what? Fuck this class. Fuck this person who would throw me into detention for having a glass snaple that I was just planning to drink. I wasn't even like a menace. I didn't like egg people or like I wasn't loud. I was just minding my own fucking business. I was very loud. I definitely.

No. I was so quiet. I was like literally like if you looked at me, you would assume I was like a model student. And then. One sweet. healthy bite of a Hershey's bar and suddenly I'm right back sitting on the front porch with my grandmother on a slow summer afternoon. She doesn't say much, just breaks the bar in half and hands me a piece. I open my mouth to say whatever a nine-year-old wants to say.

And she replies with a low, listen. So we sat there, listening. That was the first time I learned that quiet can feel full. Hershey's, it's your happy place. I've got Dan Morgan here. on the pod. Say hi, Dan. Hey, how's it going today? It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan and Morgan, which is America's

largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I saw billboard of years recently that said $20 billion. $20 billion is an insane number. Yeah, $20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and batter and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law.

That's pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7, 365. Wow. Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's Large Injury Lawfirm, thanks for coming by the show.

Thanks for having me. Visit 4thepieplit.com for an office near you. That happened, and then from that moment on I was like, no, fuck you. I don't even care. I literally failed that class out of spite. Like I was like, I will fail this. Because I don't care what I'm doing here. I fucking hate high school. I don't give a fuck.

So like after you, we would bring in action figures and like fight on each other's desks with the action figures. And then she split us apart to each corner of the room. And then we would like, we would mime it to each other like long distance across the room. We were like, we were fucking demons. Which was fucked up. shouldn't have done that, but it was a dumb reason to be sent to what. It was a dumb reason to be sent to detention. It was dumb.

It was very stupid. For me, I, okay, so, because you guys have probably noticed, I have a rather explosive laugh, right? Rather explosive laugh. So what happened is this teacher, every time this teacher came in, he had a funny accent, right? He was Nigerian. So he'd come and he'd be like, well, welcome, kids. How are you doing? And every time, every time I heard him, I would start laughing.

And it was crazy because of the fact that I would think about his voice. So it would be less funny. But it would be funny every time to me. So he got so mad he was screaming at me, but he was screaming at me. But he sounds so nice while he screamed. He was like, Kingston, why are you doing this? day. Do you not, now you're not used to how I sound? What is it? What is it? Do you think I'm funny? And I was crying. I was crying laughing. And he walked, he told me to get out the class. He told the class to hold on.

He spoke to me outside. And he was like, Kingston, you are a good student. You are getting good greats. But every time with this loud laughter, I just. And I was laugh. I was crying in his face. And the last day of school, I came back and I was like, hey, I was like, hey, Mr. Unku, I'm so sorry about this. Because he was, he was my 10th grade English teacher. Then when I took AP English, he was that English teacher. And then he was my pig teacher. For years, I was. laughing at this man.

And the last year, at the end of pig, I was like, I'm really, really, really sorry about every time. Like, I'm, like, I'm such a, I'm, I'm, I'm so sorry. Like, I did not intend to disrespect you ever. I was just, you would, your voice seemed so happy and cheery. You just sound like a stereotypical African. I'm so sorry. And he was like, honestly, there's no problem.

I, I realized that at least I'm making you smile. You're learning stuff and I'm making you smile. So he was very, he got it at the end. But like I definitely put him through it. Because when I laugh, I'm pretty, I don't think anyone can teach while I'm laughing. I think that's impossible. Yeah. I, I think I saw that teacher at a Walmart once, like when I was an adult.

And I did go and apologize. Oh, my God. But it was just like, I don't know. I still really don't think I should have been sent to that. fucking room though. Oh no, I absolutely caused my own problem. It's my fault. Why that happened? The retaliation was too much, I'll admit. But I didn't inside it. You got a heavy retort. You had a heavy retort. And that's, it happens. You know, sometimes you get, sometimes you get so mad. You get so upset in your little heart. You know, your little heart, you get so angry that you do. I had a lot of rage, man. I was so upset. Like, I was never that angry. Ever. You know, sometimes you got and then that happened. You got so much hating your little, your little,

Because the thing is that Which is the biggest thing about being young, right? You think everything is the end of the world. Well, every emotion is super heightened. Because they're more new than they otherwise would be because you're so young. So you're like, you realize like in your 20s you're like, that was stupid. That was dumb.

But hey, man, you'll be fine. Just don't be an asshole. You know, try not to be an asshole as a kid. It's pretty hard, but try it. Especially now when I'm looking like, it's like, man, teachers are so underpaid for the shit that they have to. Dude, I feel for teachers so much. I feel so bad for teachers. Teachers are the ones that give the kids the fundamental tools to love education, which is such an important job.

And such a, like, that job should be like, you should be working for the government as a teacher. You should have, like, government, like, salaries and shit like that. Because you're literally giving people the essence to want to learn things. That's so important. That's like fundamentally the most important things ever. But, you know, hey, we'll talk about that some other time. If I talk about changing the road too much, I end up missing. So I want to be like JFK's.

I don't want to be like the back of JFK's head, you know? Obie won't you blow me again? Hey, guys. What do you think the minute, what do you think is the minimum size ants would have to be to pose a serious threat to mankind. When you really get up close and watch how they operate, they are scarily coordinated. Are they?

I don't know. I feel like I've observed ants recently, and I wasn't too impressed. Have you not seen a trail of ants going and grabbing food and coming back? That's impressive. Well, it's vaguely, but I remember being outside recently in New York in my parents' place. And I was like sitting outside.

I was like writing outside because it was just like a nice day. And I looked down, I was like, oh, it's a bunch of ants. And so I crumbled some food and, like, gave it to him because I was like, I'm just kind of to observe them. And they looked at it and they were like, I don't understand this. They just like completely missed it. And I'm like, I'm helping you so bad here. But that's not the plot.

That's not the plot they were after. They were venturing towards something else. They have focus. No, but it's food. It's way more than whatever they were going for. Go this way. We were told to go here. They're little soldiers.

They're like, we're told to be this place. This food is here. We may double back and get that. Somebody head back to home base, inform them that this is here, send another branch to get this. But we are doing this. I think if they were the size of mice,

we'd have a real problem. Yeah, the size of little dogs, a little small, like your dog? No, no, no, no, that's a big problem. I think the size of a cat, that's a problem. But even, I would say even the size of a field mouse, that's when we would have to start worrying

because a field mouse, like you think about an ant being, able to pick up like a chip or like a berry on its back and it like weighs way more than it you're talking about a mouse like that's that's your fucking that's like an Xbox controller you know like that's like it that's like your wallet it's a cabinet you know just taking your home cabinet taking that that's you're like yo where's my PS5 controller at and yo where's my fucking yo where's my checkbook dude my checks my checks my phones gone bro Did you see my switch?

Just shit like that, just gone. Taken. Just gone. Just taken to a fucking underground plate. And they'll dig so deep, too. They'll, oh, they would ruin the foundations of houses if they were that big. Yeah. That would be bad.

They would be a big problem. Fuck the foundation of your house. That's all it would take, just them becoming the size of even just a small mouse. And we're done. Because that many of them that are that size, because there's billions of ants. trillions that goes far to say yeah that's a nightmare I don't eat that let's move on next question

bro holy shit well that's that's it for today that's it right so oh yeah we're at two hours damn damn damn damn so we are at two hours so yeah that'll be that'll be that'll be it for today and next week sorry about

very sorry about all the inconsistencies lately I'm very that was his fault it's me it's me so let me give you guys a preface real quick before it's going on. We have two guests coming up this month. Yep. We are...

Do we want to say who they are or should be... We can say who they are now. First and foremost, we're going to have Jay Albury coming to the podcast, hang out with us for a little bit. So I'm going to put out a question thread about him later today. And then we also have Adam and your movie sucks coming, which is I know it's going to be a wild time.

Because we've spoken to Adam more than once, and it's always crazy talking to him. So we're doing that. We're also going to be redoing the tiers on Patreon to have more of us being interactive with you guys because we know you guys pay for what you guys pay for, but we want to do a little more for you guys. And we also have merch on the way.

I have to talk to T-Spring personally, but we have merch on the way as well. And then we have another venture coming up soon, which we can't exactly say yet, but it is a very cool thing. coming up soon. So remember guys, like, share, follow, do all that shit. Leave us reviews on iTunes because that really helps us. It sounds like it doesn't do anything, but I swear to you. Like, all of this shit is based on interactions and algorithms. And even though you download the

show and listen to it, iTunes needs a little more. So if you're, you know, especially if you're listening for free, give us some help over there. It'll be much appreciated. Every place. Every place you can give us so love because we want to make this podcast. as great as possible for all of us. So. And now that we are all kind of settled in our spaces. Yes. We should be,

we should be good. Things are going to be consistent. We're going to have to, we missed an episode and we're going to have to give you guys something good for that. We're probably going to try to do a longer episode sometime. We'll do an extra one. We'll do an extra episode. Maybe next week.

I'm guessing maybe next week. One sweet, melty bite of a Hershey's bar. And suddenly I'm right back sitting on the first. front porch with my grandmother on a slow summer afternoon. She doesn't say much, just breaks the bar in half and hands me a piece. I open my mouth to say whatever a nine-year-old wants to say. And she replies with a low, listen.

So we sat there, listening. That was the first time I learned that quiet can feel full. Hershey's, it's your happy place. I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, hi, Dan. Hey, how's it going today? It's going good. man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at

Morgan and Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I saw billboard of years recently that said 20 billion one. 20 million is an insane number.

So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident?
