Hey everybody
Welcome to the Snark Tank
Podcast
I'm speaking slowly because I just down to sandwich
And I'm in pain
This is episode I think fucking
What is it? 127 I think
Something like that
Yeah it sounds right
It sounds like 127 hours
The podcast
We're only talking about that movie
Yeah
Do we just
Do we have to like
cut our arms off? Is that the right movie?
Do we have to mention his leg or his arm?
Is his arm, right?
Yeah.
You've never seen it?
I don't think I saw it.
It's really,
it's okay.
They had to cut up the part where you should.
It's where a man gets trapped
by a boulder and he has to cut his dick off.
Yeah.
And it's James Franco on top of it.
Yeah.
You know, it's aged immaculately well.
Damn.
I remember James Franco gave an interview
and he was really angry that they wouldn't call it
127 dicks.
and you know, but they, they worked it out, though.
Very upset about it.
He was like, why, well, we agreed to something.
We agreed to this.
You're out of your mind.
We're here with YMS.
We're here with your movie sucks.
It's been a while since we've done a guest episode.
And, you know, I've known Adam for a hot minute now.
And it seemed like a good way to get back.
Yeah, yeah, very hot.
And it's been, it seems like a good way to get kind of back on the guest saddle.
We've been skimping on that because it's a lot easier not to do it, to be
honest. Like, it's just really is. It's a lot
easier to bully your friends into going
to a place at a certain time and meeting on Discord than
it is to like schedule with other people. So
I'm glad you, uh, I'm glad you made
the time. I'm glad I came here to.
You're going to have a bad time though. I'm just letting you know.
I'm used to it.
So Sweeney's going on vacation in like
four hours to Seattle.
So we don't
we don't have the time to make this our normal
seven hour, you know, guest episode.
Normal.
We'll cut it down to about two.
You know, I'm trying to get myself a bang.
You're going to get your, you're going to bring your fucking lightsaber with you?
I mean, no, I'm not going to bring.
It's, that cost so much money to bring with me.
How much did you spend on that lightsaber?
I want you to be, I don't, I'm not going to tell you.
It's on your business.
Can I, can I guess?
Yeah, go ahead.
It's all of our business.
Uh-oh.
Yes, go ahead.
Is it, is it anywhere close to $400?
Close.
Oh, no.
That was too long of a,
pause. No, it's close. Not very close, but it's close.
I was going to say, I was going to say like in the, in the upwards of 700.
No, no way. No way. It's wild.
No, I know how much it is. I, I just, I know these things, man.
Okay, how much is it?
It's like that. It can't suck my dick. It was, it was five. It was five plus tax.
No. If it was a flashlight, I would at least see some utility there. But it would, it would still not be.
I'm being completely on.
it was not that much money.
110%
well good, good, good, good.
I would not spend over $500 on that.
I would want to,
don't get me wrong.
If I was in a better place,
I'd get one customly made
for my hand particularly,
but I'm not,
that's,
that's not,
for your hand.
Absolutely.
See,
I just can't,
you know,
because they don't,
it doesn't project light
like in the movies.
Well,
yes,
we'll have that technology.
It also doesn't cut people like the movies.
It also doesn't,
like,
I can't fuck with that.
It also doesn't require a Jedi master
to wields.
So yes, Derek, I understand.
I get it, you know.
I mean, I would absolutely, like, if that was real, you know, like, if you really could have a light sword and it would cost you $400, that's not bad for a light sword.
They'd be all over the military.
It'd be everywhere.
It'd be Somali and children running around waving real lightsabers chopping up Americans, bro.
It'd be everywhere.
That's scary.
That's like the problem.
that's like in the giver when they see the planes in the sky or whatever that's like a whole twist of that book
I think you know I still get into combat basically yeah yeah close quarters combat I don't know
everything's just drones now I don't know how practical that is that's why I want can we go back
like or at least it's not we are progressing by using lightsabers but in a form we are going back
because we're just doing cute uh um cute seek a close quarter combat sorry see yeah I just my fucking
my brain fried right now.
It's okay.
But wouldn't that be so much better?
And then you also think that if you are against war, there would be much less because
who really wants to just cut people in half?
It'd be more intimate.
It'd be way more intimate killing people.
I mean, way more.
I think, I think a nice middle ground would be to give, allow the drones to involve themselves
in CQC.
Because that's not something we've seen really.
Like we usually, usually a drone is like kind of like a bitch move.
It's like, oh, I'm in the sky and God.
Do you mean like Jack and gears a war or something?
What do you mean?
I mean like a...
If you give the drone sentience and then give those same drones lightsabers, so they have to be closed.
So you're talking about Transformers pretty much.
It comes down and turns to like a like a bumblebee form.
It kicks a few people and then it drones strikes them and leaves.
Or what does that show, battle bots?
Like that's how we do.
We just do that.
The transfer, I'm glad Transformers is brought up because I always feel we.
weird about that IP specifically because I remember because I never I didn't really grow up
up with those at all like I have no nostalgia.
It's before us.
That's why.
What happened?
It's before us.
Transformers like the like the golden era of transformers before us.
I guess it was more 80s.
I think every.
Oh yeah.
Generation has them though.
Oh, you mean like OG?
We've had them.
But like when it was like awesome, they had that movie where had that like great music scene
where like Optimus Prime and Meta China are fighting each other.
and it's actually epic.
It's like, oh, that was...
I don't know, wait, we're talking...
Are you talking about the 80s one?
Yeah, the movie, like, where after they beat...
Oh, you're talking about with the band America.
You're talking about the band America.
And it's like, you got the touch.
Yeah, like, that's the golden age of like Transformers.
I am out of my...
That's before us.
I was going to...
I was going to talk about the 2007 one
that everybody really, really loved.
The first movie?
Lincoln Parking.
Yeah.
I didn't hear that.
It was a big thing when it came out.
Sam, suck my cock, Sam.
Sam. It's good.
You'll like it.
They really put.
they really put fucking even Steven
in a in a Transformers movie
and it works.
Oh yeah.
That is,
yeah.
Shia LaBuff was to Stephen Spielberg
as McCauley Culkin was to Michael Jackson basically.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Interesting.
Yeah.
Shia LaBuff had like a contract with like paramount, I think.
That's insane.
I remember it's so funny because when I think of Shial Abuff now,
I don't think of him as an actor.
I think of him as that he will not divide us guy.
With those fucking flags.
That was so...
And then he vanished.
Wait, didn't he show up like recently and stuff?
I don't know.
Well, he's...
I think of him mostly as a plagiarist.
Wait, what did he do?
Everything.
He like, he'll do his own like weird art projects and be like, okay, I'm gonna stand over here
and this is going to be an experiment about what people can do to me.
And then it's like, okay, anybody who's familiar with like Marina Abramovich is like,
okay, well, you're just stealing the exact same thing.
did. And then he got caught on plagiarizing another thing, had to apologize for it. And then his
apology was plagiarized. Like, not kidding. This is all like absolutely bizarre. And then there's other
things that people didn't even catch. I remember looking at like a Facebook video that was shared
back when I still used Facebook for some reason. And it was like, wow, he's really freestyling
on, uh, it was behind the scenes for Fury, the Brad Pitt movie. And they're like, wow, what a great
freestyle. And people were like sharing it. And I just Googled some of the lyrics. I'm like, oh,
this is an existing song.
He's kind of,
he's a notorious plagiarist.
No reason to do it.
He just doesn't.
He just can't help himself.
Yeah.
He did a freestyle on sway,
like on sway and more like a real like popular music thing.
And it was apparently plagiarized and I was so hurt because it was so good.
And I was like, why, shy?
Why would you lie to me?
I'm already in your corner.
You don't got to lie to me to get me more in your corner.
I'm already there.
And then he did that whole thing where I'm using his girlfriend.
And I was like, oh.
Oh, yeah.
It's crazy that he feels the need to, like, consider himself to be some sort of, like, artist in that sense.
Like, no one's pushing him to do all these weird projects independently of the movies that he's in.
But he's so insistent.
He's like, no, I need to be looked at as some sort of, like, auteur or something.
And now people just look at him as an autist.
I respect it, though.
I respect it just for no reason at all.
He would be totally fine.
He would have, like, the accolades of him being an artist.
actor and not like, in my opinion, not horrible.
He's fine and things that I've seen him in.
I've seen him in a way, he's a pretty good actor out or whatever.
He would be fine if he did that.
So I kind of respect when people just go out of their way to do stupid shit.
Respect is probably the wrong word, but there's something about it that like I enjoy.
There's a, there's a genre of reverence, I guess, in people being entertaining in whatever way they can.
The thing to me that confuses me about it is just like, I mean, it probably roots back to the whole, he was a child star.
I mean, that can't be a great start.
It sucks you out.
I think that's not the meta.
I think that's not the meta for like being a fine person growing up, you know?
Yeah.
Like, don't be a child star.
Yeah.
I mean, it's not their choice really, you know.
But I think, uh, true.
But, but also like to me, it's like the most confusing thing about it is that he plagiarizes in, in areas where it's not even like he would be expected to be a, like, like,
like why like I could like let's say you're an artist and you're losing your touch right and like
everything's everything's writing on your next fucking big art piece and you're like fuck it I got I got a
steal you know at least there's like some it's not justifiable but at least I can understand
the ape brain part of part of it where it's like okay some people are just incapable of being
creative right right which is insane but then it's like I'm an actor so uh I'm going to plagiarize a
freestyle.
The connective tissue is completely absent.
It's so unnecessary.
Some people just have weird compulsive things that they do.
Some people are just absolute, like almost psychopaths.
Yeah, they're just neurotic lunatics.
Yeah, it's like a mental disorder.
Like, you know, some people are kleptomaniacs.
Like, they know that they shouldn't steal and there's no good reason for them to,
but they just feel some sort of compulsion or urge to and they keep doing it.
Right. I think of somebody like, what was it, Winona Ryder.
For example, who got like caught thing.
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 a billboard of years recently that said $20 billion.
1. 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 law from thanks for coming by the show thanks for having me visit
for the people dot com for an office near you yeah yeah yeah this was a long time ago yeah right
and she's already a known i always think about the people who are known and then they're still
doing the right like the girl from like the stranger things yeah yeah she's a cutton maniac she was
well i remember i remember there was i remember there was a long
time ago. She basically, it's so funny now when we talk about it because like she got kind of
canceled for that like ages ago. Like she lost a lot of work and just sort of faded into
obscurity because she was a kleptomaniac. Think about that. That's fucking that. In the context,
in the context of today, that is astounding. And obviously now she's back because, you know,
she didn't really do anything too terrible. And she's like, but yeah, nobody, but no one remembers
that either. It's not like it's even, there's probably all these, what, people that are 20 years,
25 years and younger that are like, have no idea who she is.
I mean, I didn't even know that she was a copicomaniac at all.
I, I can't remember how I heard that, but it was definitely through a conversation with someone
much older than me.
I think Mick, I think Rice Pirate brought her to me.
And I was like, that's fucking, I had no idea, no knowledge at all.
She was just the Edwards of Her Hands woman.
And she was in Heather's too, right?
Am I insane?
Girl interrupted, I think.
Oh, I don't know.
That's one.
Is that real?
Yeah, no, it is.
I think she like got an Oscar for that.
No, wait, Jolie got nominated.
Oh.
Winona.
Oh, right.
Jolie?
Oh, she was acting at that time?
What age?
What year was this?
Winona Ryder was nominated for two Oscars.
Little women in 1995 and age of innocence in 1994.
She wasn't girl interrupted, but the Oscar was for Angelina Jolie.
and she won.
You know what's crazy?
I thought Jolie's first movie was Tomb Raider.
I'm being dead serious.
That's funny.
I thought that was her first movie.
It makes sense to believe that.
That's the first time I saw her ever.
Why would you put her in like a big franchise if like she was her?
I was six.
I didn't see her before.
I had no clue.
I was just like I guess this woman's here now.
She's Laura Croft, I guess.
Yeah, you don't have a, you don't have a concept of industry when you're that young.
Oh, no.
I had like,
the funniest, like, weird misconceptions about how movies were made when I was like, what,
maybe, I don't know what age I must have been, like, 12 or something.
I was, like, coming up with all of these theories, like, oh, because you see the, uh, the Freddie
glove at the end of the Friday the 13th part nine.
And so they're definitely, and like, there was something in one of the Evil Dead movies where
there was like a Freddy glove in the background or something.
I was like, oh, they're going to like attach them on together.
And I thought that it was like some coordinated like this is where the direction things have to go.
And I had no concept of like different writers, different directors.
Yeah.
And different like studio ownership of each property.
And I had no concept of that.
I was like, oh, and they're going to blah, blah, blah.
I just thought it was all just like something that just happened.
I know exactly what you mean because that's how I felt about video games for a long time.
I think I had like a weird understanding of movies a little bit earlier.
I'm not like a cinephile or anything.
but I think because I another kind of file
Another kind of file different kind of file
I'm not boy in a band right
But I think
But I think
I think
That one
Don't worry about it
Yeah
Don't worry about it
This is breaking as of today
Did something happen?
It's a lot going on
It's a lot going on in that situation
We don't have to talk about that
That's okay
I was just I didn't know
This is what we do though
I just need time to process
The story
The story is ongoing
But you know
We won't say anything definitive
There's more plot being revealed as we talk right now, probably.
Oh, so there's allegations?
Yeah, there's a big Reddit post that I haven't read the full thing of, but I've skimmed it, and it's, you know, it's interesting.
Okay, I've always thought that older men that try to dress, especially with their hair, extremely young boyish, turned out to be pedophiles.
That's just an observation.
If you're past 35 years, slink back.
Because you're trying to signal, like, yes, I want little girls to like me sort of thing, right?
That's like generally it works.
Yeah.
I'm just speculating.
No, yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is all speculation.
I just want to say one of the first posts I saw on Twitter right now in all caps says,
can we go one fucking day without another pet oh fuck?
I really like point a pen.
That's funny.
Did you see the photo?
Did you see the photo I tweeted of you and him?
Did you do that?
I just said, oh, no.
Oh, you took a photo with him.
Yeah, like, VidCon at like 2017.
Oh, great.
Come on, man.
You got to get out ahead of those things, you know what I mean?
What do you do with them?
I am so happy to just, like, not be associated with, like, major people that get canceled.
Like, there's been some, I guess, but, like, I'm very happy to, like, somehow have just gotten
lucky to not know these things.
It's not, like, through any sort of intent, but just be like, oh, wow, okay, I'm not, like,
Strongly.
I love it, man.
I love it.
I love having no drive.
I have the most drama-free life ever.
And I love it.
It's great to see other people's stuff.
It's fine to see other people suffer sometimes, you know?
Like, it's not that it's good, but it's just like, dang, I'm glad that's not me.
Oh, of course.
That's, what is it, Schadenfreude or whatever?
Yeah, it's like, whew.
I'm just annoyed by, because I feel like there's so many, like, we're, I wouldn't consider any,
anyone that I'm talking to right now a normie but then the more I'm on the internet I'm like
and you're seeing what a lot of people do like I you know every once in a while um Adam I follow
this drama of this guy named Ethan Ralph if you don't know of oh yes okay so okay so yeah I follow
him a lot just because it more and more that I look into these people I'm like I guess I am a
fucking normie because I don't do anything that is comparison you're not a normie you're just not a
degenerate. There's a difference. I was about to say, yeah, like, yeah, not being a normie doesn't
necessarily, normie doesn't mean like you're, you've got a clean record, I guess, and not being
a normie doesn't necessarily mean that you're a degenerate. Yeah. Yeah, because Bill Cosby's certainly a
normie. Not anymore. Uh, it's good, well, that's, what do you mean not anymore? You think he's on
4chan board? It was, it was the norm in the 70s to just like rape children, basically, you know? I mean,
It was the norman Poliinski was just doing a normal thing in the 70s.
I feel like it's been a normal thing as long as history has existed, I guess, to just do that.
And it's a sad truth because there's just throughout history, people who's been tossing kids.
And it's like, why?
Like, everybody doing it.
Like almost every big celebrity, especially like musicians, like in the 70s, you look up like, oh, wow, they were just like dating a 16 year old at the age of 30.
It's like that that doesn't really fly today
Yeah, but it was like in the 70s
It was like oh yeah
Obviously because they have a lot of young
Impressionable fans that want to suck their dick
Why wouldn't they do that sort of thing?
It's just kind of like hmm
And you look at like some of your friends' parents
Or maybe even your own parents and you're like
Oh there's a pretty big eight
When did my parents meet?
When did your parents meet?
There's a big age gap
It was like much more of like a normal thing
It's my friends
My friend's dad
It's one of those
The funny thing is I've known about their age gap since I've, you know, I've known them since I was like 13 or whatever.
And then as I got older and I'm like, wait a minute.
Because it's like substantially fucking different.
How big is it?
It can be that big.
Well, it's, it's Mexico standards.
You're from Mexico.
So just that's all you need to know.
It's, it's, it's.
I'm not going to pack that.
It's wild.
But convert it to pesos.
And he's, he basically, and he basically, and he basically,
like claimed her.
You know what I mean? He just like
trapped her. Yeah.
Like kind of like you're mine. I'll take this
one and then but everything's
They're still together. There's still arranged
marriages in many cultures today.
Like a lot of things are constantly evolving
like our perception of like
consent and yeah.
I know people currently who have chosen
who have been like I would prefer
that. I would prefer an arranged marriage
which is crazy. Are they in caps?
They're just someone talking shit
I mean yeah
But I wouldn't be sorry
I don't know about some of them
This is crazy
This is gonna tell you something wild
I have a friend that I've been friends with
He's a year younger than me
He's been dating his girlfriend
Since sixth grade
He's an Indian kid dating a black girl
And his parents still don't know about it
He's 27 now
They still don't know about it
And they want
And they're arranging him
To try to get him married to somebody else
And he's constantly like
Turning down these girls
because they're like,
they're like, oh, how's this girl?
And he's like,
not my thing.
Who is,
who the fuck is this person?
So he's hiding it because it's a black girl?
Well, yes, of course.
Okay.
Yeah, indeed,
our experience,
our experience with like, like,
granted, limited experience.
Limited, very limited.
But,
but based on friends that we have had
who were black,
who were dating Indian women,
their families are not,
they're not too happy about that.
So generally speaking.
So the thing is,
Generalization, of course.
So this is the thing, right?
What happens is in Indian, and least in his cult, his aspect,
if you're not of the same cast, you can't even really get married.
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 a 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.

Oh, yeah.
The fact that she's a black person
just adds a whole other rich.
Yeah, you have to have children with your cousins
if you want the genes to remain pure.
Exactly, bro.
Duh.
If you want your queen,
if you want your queen to live a really, really, really long time.
You want Targaryian kids or you want freaking,
you want Targaryens or you want Targaryens or you want
Barathians, bro.
We need the same.
How the hell did it?
How do we get here?
I totally forgot.
You were going to say something about not being a
cinephile and then I said other kind of file
and then you started talking about
going a band and then that's excellent.
This happens a lot.
But oh yeah, we're talking about like the like just
our concepts of how movies were made.
And like I had a very similar thing about video games
because I was younger.
I would toy around with like editing.
Like I fucked around with like editing software for like when I was like eight and like still do obviously.
So I had like some idea of like what I was seeing and like how it was like fictionalized and how like people would like make things and shoot things to put.
You know, I had some understanding.
I still didn't know the studio structure or anything like that.
But for video games, no idea.
So I fully believed like there were like rumors about like, oh man, in like Halo 2 and in like coagulation.
If you go over the, if you go over the hill, there's like another map there that's like secret.
And I'm like, what?
Like, I totally believed it.
Because, like, my understanding of video games was, like, so separate.
I thought they were, I must, I mean, maybe not actively, but I must have thought they were just, like, literal pocket dimensions that you would just step into.
And it was, like, magical almost.
I was just trying to catch the mew behind the truck next to the St. Anne.
That was a big one.
Was that?
Which one was that?
That was like Pokemon Red and Blue.
That was a big room.
Yeah.
But it was easier to believe because the missing no was like real.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I kept the missing no and it was fucked up.
That was fucked up.
I caught it.
I beat the game.
I was like,
I'm like level 80.
Everything.
I'm so excited.
Infinite rare candies.
Game turned into,
it turned into like pixel art.
I was just great.
On some level I kind of,
I kind of miss.
Like obviously not.
I wouldn't go back or anything.
But I do kind of miss having like some.
some amount of ignorance on these things because I think I I just kind of liked things a little bit more
and I don't know like there was a magic and sort of believing things you'd hear about video games
because you just didn't understand them you know I think it shifts my appreciation to different
things I don't think that I like I'm I'm still able to get into things but just in a different
way from different pieces of media I wouldn't appreciate my favorite films in the same way
that I do, I probably wouldn't really enjoy my favorite films if I had like a, like a really,
you know, incomplete understanding of like, yeah, what goes into them, I guess. I guess technically
everyone's is incomplete. Yeah, you're not wrong. I do think though, like, sometimes I'll see videos.
Well, just, it's, it's, for me, it's like what hit, what hit, what even made me think about this
in the first place was like, like, I would see videos of kids, right? And they were like, maybe like,
eight or nine. And they were talking about like, man, uh, this, uh, this,
developed man, BioWare really lost their touch.
You know what I mean?
And I'm just like, oh man, that's so, like, so immediately cynical at, like, so young.
Like, so, you never knew.
You never knew the good BioWare.
You're being raised on YouTubers now.
Yeah, yeah.
So, like, they hear, like, YouTube.
And they have, like, a deep, and it's kind of cool.
It's interesting because they have, they have a way deeper understanding of these things that I did.
Yeah.
But at the same time, it's like.
Because content's everywhere talking about this shit.
Yeah.
But at the same time, it's like a lot of that.
A lot of that amazement that got me into these things in the first place is kind of absent.
Like there's a feeling of wonder with certain things that like, okay, you get to pick them apart later on.
But I feel like that's kind of not present anymore because the second year old enough to really absorb content and like fully understand it, you've kind of, it's kind of like the Wizard of Oz with like the curtains kind of gone.
And you know that there's some bastard at the top of your favorite game.
You know what's crazy?
I just feel like my expectations are higher.
And I feel like AAA gaming has gotten worse because of a lot of corporate aspects at play.
But on the plus side, independent gaming has never been better.
Like all the best games of the year are all indie games.
Like the fucking Minecraft was an indie game, you know?
Like undertail.
And they're all doing successfully just because of self-publishing with video games.
And also marketing with video games, most of your audience is going to be using the internet.
You can self-market on YouTube.
You can promote your games.
that way. And if it's good and if you have a cool trailer and it can just get big on Reddit and that's
that. Whereas with films, it's still, there's still so much more of a gap in terms of being like
a studio production, being able to sell and get your ideas out to people without that sort
of intervention. Doing that independently is a lot more difficult with film as an art form,
but for music and for games, it's like never been better as independent artists. It's still never
been better for films, but it's not the same level quite in terms of being able to distribute your
film. Because like Joel Haver's making independent films and just posting them on YouTube.
He's not doing like, yeah. Yeah, he's not doing like the festival circuit or anything. And that's great,
but 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
Hello.
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 a 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
to 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 for the people.com for an office near you.
It's missing a lot of the audience, a lot of the market there.
There's something, there's still kind of a weird gap in terms of how people consider legitimacy
for self-publishing on YouTube, which is something that literally anyone can do,
versus having your movie be in a theater.
Yeah.
And so it's not getting recognized in the mainstream in the same way.
It's like less of a generational.
I kind of think of it as like a, you know, the jump between, you know,
you know, PS1 and PS2 is pretty substantial.
But like the most recent generation is not that crazy of a leap.
So like for like,
which is why they're all selling their games on PC now.
It's because consoles are becoming like hard to justify.
Yeah.
Yeah.
At least the price range of them.
like yeah like why would I buy this one I can get a computer buy small parts of it keep it up forever
instead of buying this punk of thing that will be obsolete eventually you know like in its entire
well yeah you can just like upgrade the graphics card in your computer but yeah with these
with consoles like the average console life was six years just as the console itself but over time
because the the the rate of improvement in technology and graphical capabilities has been so
exponential, like it's going up faster and faster.
Now, consoles have done a very sneaky thing where they won't release a new console after
three years, but they'll release a point five.
And it's like, okay, you're just using that.
You release a new console, but you're using the same user interface.
Yeah, yeah, you've released a new console, but yeah, you're just not calling it the PS5.
And you're saying like, oh, no, we're still keeping up with PCs, but it's like, okay, well,
how many times are you going to do this where you're just adding like these incremental things
without calling it a new console?
That PS3 360 generation was so long, unusually long, because the economy got really fucked.
Like that was like the main, that was what I would, because even towards the end of that generation, you could tell, like, things were, things were chugging.
You know, it wasn't great.
I mean, we got some great stuff, obviously.
Oh, yeah.
But, you know, those machines, it is crazy to me that, just from a hardware perspective, that games even remotely as good looking as they would.
as they were ran on hardware.
Like, like, 512 megabytes of RAM powered the last of us.
That's fucking sick.
That's insane.
And I think that's...
I still...
I don't know.
Like, I have a soft spot for consoles still just because, like, there's something nice about...
A dedicated piece of plastic with, like, that opening experience is still nice.
I...
But I'm also, like, a bit of a collector with that shit.
But...
And also, things just work more simply.
Sometimes it's difficult to get games to, like, run properly on PCs.
And then, you know, if it's an old...
game like you're fucked.
Oh my God.
Yeah,
yeah.
You ever tried streaming
an old game on Steam?
It's a nightmare.
You know,
you know what's actually,
you know what's actually fucked
a friend of mine told me recently
that the original Bioshock,
which I adore.
But the original Bioshock was recently updated
out of nowhere and now it's just totally broken.
Like random update.
Yeah, just random update like 10 years later.
I think they put in like a store.
Or it may have been Bioshock infinite.
I'm not super sure,
but it was one of them.
And just randomly like recently.
Oh, no.
It's, it's two.
It's two.
Oh, it's two?
It's Piotrushok 2.
Oh.
If you look at the reviews, then who cares?
Yeah, whatever.
Yeah, but people are like, what the fuck happened?
I always, you know, I look at reviews before I buy things because I just want to make sure.
Because it's not even, I know the game is good.
How does it run?
And that's the big thing because I've bought in some, I've bought in some shit on accident
not knowing that there was controller support.
You know, I didn't know.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
And I was like, fuck.
And then you have to go through the hoops of trying to download some.
fucking some type of software for is that'll actually be compatible for your
what's amazing what's amazing to me it's amazing to me is that like i mean because sometimes i do
think like is this like am i just too nostalgic like we were talking about how how how uh
triple a stuff lately is is just objectively worse yes but then sometimes i think it was it like
am i like because like sometimes i feel like maybe i maybe i just but i don't want to
seemed like the old man who's like things were better when I was a kid, but I really do feel like
they, like, objectively were. They had to be. That's why I say triple A and not games in general.
You're right. It's the types of games that are worse, not games overall. Oh yeah. It's the cape. I remember
the turning point for me, for example. I just don't remember buying games new back in the day,
especially when I was a kid. Right, you had to be fucking careful. Otherwise, you got to recall back a lot
of shit. There's a lot of hardware. That's kind of a,
really fucked up thing to do versus now where everybody can rush anything out and patch it.
So it was like obviously different. Yeah, yeah. Because people tried hard because they had to try
to get it right. Because they didn't have that. There was no internet to like on on bug or unfuck a game.
Like look at fucking, uh, I couldn't believe. I, I heard enough and I'm sure you know all about it,
Chris, but fucking just looking at the new Saints Row. You know, you already heard it was rushed,
but I did deep dive into it. And it was, I couldn't believe it was. It was.
so much worse than I thought it was
and really upset me because I really
loved St. Stroh 3. So it was
kind of like, oh, I'm glad they brought it back
and then never mind. It just looked like, what's up?
You know what's especially weird about Saints Row?
They had like, there was a thing recently, or I guess
obviously recently because the game came out. But
there was like this whole thing, like I think before the game came out how
like they were taking like a different approach. And obviously this got
a lot of people kind of like, oh, it's all woke and shit. And it's, you know,
it's, you're always going to see that.
shit. But
what confused me the most was like they changed a
it was like a business in the game
that was called like Rim Jobs and it was like where you would go
to get your fucking cars receipt which I always thought was like
that's you know. Yeah it's a little funny. They changed it to Jim Robbs.
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,

That was the first time I learned that quiet can feel full.

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 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 badder,

So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger

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.
Which like isn't even a...
Yeah, that's what I'm so...
That's what confused me because it's not even...
To who's benefit.
Right.
It's not like a slur.
It's not like...
It's not like...
gendered even.
Yeah.
That's literally the point of the joke.
That's a whole,
it's a pun.
That's a point.
Well,
it's a joke and it's just an adult joke
at the expense of no one.
Is it the new game rated teen or what?
Let me see.
It feels like it is.
Let me see.
I mean,
they decided to not do rid of them.
Yeah,
like St.
3 had a dildo bat.
Like,
what?
Yeah,
check the rating because that would explain all that.
If it's still rated in,
Then, like, why?
I think it is still rated enough.
It's the nature of the beast, then.
It has to be.
It has to be.
Is it?
What the fuck?
The one, the biggest thing that I noticed about the game was the font.
I was like, oh.
It is right at him.
What the hell?
Which is interesting, right?
But you noticed the font of the game, right?
I was like, I know exactly who they're fucking appealing to.
What do you mean?
The font?
Look at the font of Saints Row.
It looks like fucking Fortnite.
Oh, well, yeah, but like everything's kind of Fortnite now.
Not really.
A lot of things are Fortnite now.
Fortnite has affected the game community in a monumental way.
Even like the way the game looks,
now the game's always had somewhat of a,
but this,
even the glossiness to it.
I'm like it looks like more of the game
is not advertised towards,
like I think it's advertised towards teenagers
around 1617.
This is what it looks like they're trying to go for that fucking market.
It's,
it's an art style.
There's definitely an art style trend,
happening.
And I think it's, I don't think it's necessarily, I don't think it was, I don't think it's
inherently bad, but it's definitely like oversaturated, how many things.
Like, sometimes I'll tune into one of these, like, directs or like the state of plays.
And just everything looks the fucking same.
Also, like, I've noticed recently that there was a recent state of play where there were,
there were just like, basically like five open world, like Japanese kind of feudal Japan games.
And I'm like, oh, because, because Ghostushima was been.
It seems like things don't get greenlit in the way that they used to.
It feels like things used to get made because like, okay, we'll make it.
But now it's like, oh, that was successful.
Let's greenlight that now.
There was more risk-taking.
Yeah.
Like, if you're going to make it, it's considered a risky business investment to do something
that's not a rip-off.
Same goes for movies in terms of like big studio films.
Like, movies have not gotten worse in the sense that the overall quality of films
is just like so much worse.
Like, maybe you can make a debate for it.
but I feel like just like AAA games,
like studio films have gotten worse.
Like if you want to look,
if you want to find the good shit,
you got to go for like independent or,
you know,
smaller studio productions.
Yeah, outside the box, you know.
Yeah, like A24 and like neon,
like they actually allow
some level of risk taking with their directors
and there,
a lot of their films are fantastic,
some are shit,
but whatever, right?
Whereas, you know,
gigantic Hollywood,
you know,
Disney productions
Yeah, it's considered
a busy business investment
to do something that isn't just
existing off of a previous IP
or just a rip-off and it's kind of annoying.
That happens a lot too. A lot of things are pitched and they're like
this is good, but what if this was
in the alien universe?
What if this was still a
Halo game? That Cloverfield movie made no sense.
Which one? The paradox? Like the
I didn't see paradox. The one, the, the
one of, the one with, um, 10,
Claverfield Lane. That was like, I don't, I've never been that confused by the
end of a movie in a long time, bro. Because he was right. The ending was just thrown in by
J.J. Abrams. The movie existed before it was a Cloverfield movie and they made it a
Cloverfield movie. And J.J. Abrams was like, okay, well, let's fuck up the ending.
It was literally what happened. Because he was right. I was like, I was just like, this guy,
this is just a crazy moment. This is this someone being crazy, right? And then he was right at the end. And I was
like what the hell?
It does feel...
But you can feel it.
What I love about that movie specifically, and I don't really like that movie at all.
But to me, it's like, what I love about that movie is like you can actually feel the moment where it shifts.
Yeah.
You can actually feel the moment where JJ stepped in.
Yeah, yeah.
Excuse me.
I'll take the rest from here.
Because it looks entirely different, too, even just like the way it's...
I mean, I guess it has to.
It's dumb.
But it's so dumb.
And I don't know.
Like isn't that weird?
You know what it reminds me of?
I've been doing this recently.
I got really lazy.
So I just shot like all of my ads just sitting down just in one like.
And then if so and then and then I'm just cutting it up and then just throwing it in fucking whatever video.
So then it just the the jump cut is so unnatural and kind of like probably even like whoa to people.
So I'm like I'm sitting lower and my cadence is lower.
And then all of a sudden.
But before we do the, you know, it.
And it's just kind of like, I've just gotten so fucking lazy recently.
Usually I just, oh, this ads for this video.
So it's all, it's, you know, it transitions well.
But I'm just like, I don't fucking care anymore, dude.
So it's one of those things where it's like you're being obviously lazy.
You know, and I feel like it's weird though at like a company where there's so much money invested that how does JJ step on to here?
And then he's like, all right, I'm going to do this.
But then there's no, you don't follow the formula of the movie itself.
he just fucking do
how does that happen
how does that
allowed to be like green lit
or something
or that at the editing
that's the only reason
it was allowed to be green lit
is the problem
it wouldn't be green lit
if it wasn't a Cloverfield movie
they wouldn't be giving it money
the very valuable
cloverfield IP
that everybody loves
everybody knows and loves man
Cloverfield
that movie about this giant
I don't know
fucking Tupacabre
came out the fucking ocean
and beat up New York
it's fantastic
yeah
I thought it was just like
a continuation of Godzilla
in like 19th
98 or something. I don't know. I didn't get it.
I didn't fucking watch it. That 98 Godzilla
with the Chad chin. Oh yeah, the huge chin.
I like that movie, but I know I like it because I saw it when I was little.
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...

1. 20 million is an insane number.

Fogg.
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.
You're the only one.
I saw it when it came out.
Why do you have that with an arms?
On hand.
That is fucking fantastic.
It just happened to be right in front of me.
That is insane.
I can imagine there's like a treasure trove in movies in front of him.
He's waiting for reference.
You're like this one.
No, there's just 10 copies of it.
that shit in front of them specifically.
I've always got one ready.
You like you got a fucking crazy collection too
behind you.
And there's more.
Oh, that's so sick. It's very space efficient.
That's very cool.
It fits a lot more
than the other shelf that I used to have
here that just took up so much more space.
That's an awesome
fucking idea.
Adam, how many of those
roads that's like you just have a lot of
2Ks, NBA 2Ks.
It's just a row of NBA 2Ks.
All of them.
He bought every single one.
I own every single NBA 2K game.
Wouldn't that be like a fucking crazy video?
So there's some people that get like 8 million views being like,
like Sheffrella's was like, I'm ranking every DreamWorks movie.
Could you imagine someone being like I'm ranking every 2K sports game?
I'd fucking watch it too though.
It would not only take forever, but it would be impossible because the online server
aren't supported for a lot of the older ones
so you're not really getting the experience anymore.
That'd be wild.
Every single one.
How do you...
Do you guys remember before...
It must have been before the pandemic,
just before.
The, uh, when cats was patched.
Oh yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That was funny.
That was amazing.
Patching movies.
Yeah, that sounded like something dystopian
that would never actually happen and then it happened.
Yeah, yeah.
It's a movie.
movie.
Disney's been doing that actually in between like theatrical and Disney Plus releases.
Actually, they've been like patching some of the effects and stuff.
Oh, really?
For Disney for like, what do you mean like for like?
Well, I guess it's for movies for movies that get a theatrical release and then later get on Disney Plus.
I wouldn't be surprised if they do it for ones that start out on Disney Plus and then just patch them later.
Did they pass?
I think I heard something recently about like Netflix patching something out of season or patching something into season.
and one of Stranger Things so that it would be, so that it would be like,
because they did some retconning, obviously.
Yeah, they did like a little bit of, they did some light recconning.
That's sad, actually.
I'm a big fan of like media preservation.
Me too.
Yeah.
That bothers me immensely.
What do you think they did?
Just give the option.
I think they added.
Just patch it however you want, but give the option to watch the original.
Yeah, I think what they did was that I think they added the clock sound or something to
certain scenes that didn't have them or like something weird like that i saw like something about
it or like a comparison i was like oh it's interesting do you think do you think um do you think they
patched all of the black panther stuff out of infinity war in china all of it like they don't go to
wakonda they go to like bethlehem or they go to like the rifle to the great wall or something
like that i don't know man there's a russellum that would be skittish that would be skitt
That would actually be so dystopian if, like, you just saw a different version of a movie, and it was just straight up different locations because that country is just two races.
That would be so funny.
That'd be terrible.
That'd be, like, a really bad sign.
That means that, like, corporations are literally sucking dick anywhere they didn't get money.
But, like, it'd be so funny to see, like, yo, where's this character?
That was a huge plot point.
Oh, they don't exist.
Did you ever see the Chinese release of, like, MCC?
Halo?
I saw,
I know there was a Russian one
that I played a little bit
but I didn't know there was a Chinese
I think there was a yeah
there was a Chinese one where it was like
you don't have gore in it
and I think some speed runners were using it
because like they didn't load
as many textures or some weird shit
like I don't I have no idea
Oh interesting
But there's a Chinese version of
So like the flood won't like pop or something
There's that much gore in Halo
Yeah
That's so weird
That's so interesting
Yeah there's a video on it
It's interesting
I didn't know about that
Oh my God.
At least, well, yeah, I don't know.
To me, the movie, the preservation of media as far as movies goes, like, that's been,
that didn't used to bother me until I tried to get the original, was it Evil Dead?
I can't remember if it was Evil Dead one or two.
I'm so mad at that one.
I hate that one.
It's a very frustrating one because it's very Lucas.
Like, they just sort of like, they fixed a lot of things that I actually, like, I don't know.
Like, I think they add, there's something nice about, like, I've, I've, I've,
something recently, I mean, not to defend like Amazon or nothing or like whatever show this was,
but like I saw like a screenshot of either rings of power or the other fucking Game of Thrones.
I don't know.
I can't tell the difference.
I haven't seen it.
But it was like a screenshot of this woman standing in front of a crowd and like she's talking to a crowd.
And like there's like some repeat people in the crowd or whatever.
Yeah.
And like to me it's like like that.
Okay.
Like that's fine to me because that's just like basic.
You know, you're not supposed to sit.
If you don't notice when you're.
watching it, then whatever.
It's just an interesting thing about how they did the movie.
Right, but knowing that like, not that this, whatever show this is has as much merit as
evil dead, but like I know that that's, at some point, it's like, I wouldn't be surprised
like, oh, we're going to patch that out or something.
It's like, no, it's like leave things as there were.
There's something cute.
There's something really cool about seeing, about seeing the moon obviously be like a cutout
matte thing and the fucking Evil Dead because it feels approachable.
It makes like, it makes movie making feel like a possibility.
they recorded several commentary tracks for the original cut of Evil Dead so for the original DVD
and Bruce Campbell actually won like an award for his commentary track I forget what exactly
what publication gave him this award but it's like one of the funniest fucking things in the world
it like honestly if you like Evil Dead even somewhat listen to the Bruce Campbell solo
commentary track on the DVD before the Blu-ray came out
And now for like the newer versions, they re-recorded the commentary tracks because it doesn't work anymore.
Because in the original, he was pointing out like, oh, and here's where you can see this.
There's Rob Tabbert hiding in the bushes.
And this was actually nighttime, if you notice there, and blah, blah, blah.
And he was like, yeah, it was a great commentary track because it was informational about how they made it.
And it was funny at the same time.
And he was like poking fun at the technical limitations they had at the time.
And so the new commentary tracks they recorded, it's just like,
no energy and they're clearly just like ignoring all of the shit from like the actual real
there's a thing look over there's a thing look over there's another thing yeah it's so it's so it's so
disgusting honestly i hate it i loved sam rheneran yeah honestly i love i i just love
commentary tracks in general like i got a lot you got a lot of value for your money when you got
like a DVD with like a movie and a commentary track because they would always show like oh we that
scene was actually like reversed we didn't actually do that
And it was like all this stuff.
It's like, oh, all of this is like cheating.
Like they didn't actually do all of this like insane shit like in like because when you're, again, like when you're a kid, you just sort of think like, wow that, wow, spider.
They really got Toby McGuire to spin around in a fucking on a, on a, on a, on a strand in the middle of New York.
No, obviously.
But that's cool to hear how that shit gets put together.
Yeah, particularly Spider-Man once commentary.
That's one that stuck out to me really, really hard.
I remember to this day because I remember for some reason, like I ended up.
on a commentary version of it when I was like maybe like 11 and I was like I guess I'm
watching this and it was really insightful it's very easy to accidentally fall like because it's like an
audio setting yeah well there's a usually for me I remember there may have been a version where
they said like commentaries like that and I didn't know what the fuck it was there are so there are
but I remember specifically on some DVD they might not be all of them but like I remember a lot of
my interactions with commentary tracks was I accidentally switching between like uh
dubs basically so English and then it would be like English commentary so like I would
accidentally like turned the commentary on it. I was like, what's the fuck is this? Yeah, I love it when they do it with video games too. I think Leffordead had a really cool interactive one that I thought was like really fucking interesting. Um, but a lot of it is just them talking about cheating. Oh yeah. And just making commentary tracks are cool. They're very, very interesting. I wish I, I, um, game stuff. Yeah. That's where I learned like most of what I know it about it. Like, that's what shaped my understanding of films is just listening to commentary tracks and watching like featureettes on DVDs.
like you're you're hearing it from the artists themselves like what better resource is there
honestly than to hear the artists themselves talk about uh their creative process
yeah it's it's invaluable it's super useful it gives it gives you the idea of what they do
then it gives you an impression about how you may want to do it because you like because
obviously most most people copy other people we don't do an intention to plagiarize but if you
if you appreciate how somebody does something obviously you're going to take some sort of
from them to help you get better
what you're doing until you find your own way of doing it.
I would argue the best way to learn is honestly by copying.
Of course.
Like that's definitely like when I was first started on YouTube,
I was definitely like copying like a lot of like missionima people and like just to
figure shit out.
And then just find your own style from there.
Yeah.
Obviously if you're still copying in your like 80s or something.
If you're shy I love off of your plagiarizing freestyles for no fucking reasons.
No goddamn reason.
Compulsively.
I would love to see
Eminem versus
Shialabaugh freestyle
I'd be sick
What if he tears?
What if he tears him apart?
What if Shilohan tears Eminem apart?
If he learns all of his
Freestyles and doesn't even respond
to what Eminem's doing
It could.
It could work.
It could work.
He plagiarizes Eminem
while he's doing it.
That would be fucking legendary.
What he does is Eminem spits his verse
and then Shilov spits the same verse
right back at him.
And you're like,
what the hell?
incredibly impressive.
Like, wow, your memory is fucking...
That's your power.
That's your power.
You can memorize better than anyone else.
The ultimate plagiarist.
That's what you can do.
You can plagiarize better to anyone I've ever seen in my life shy.
This is what you do.
You got a copy.
That's like a limitless type movie of just something.
Like some guy who's just like he's the best plagiarist in this side of the Eastern Seaboard.
He can't be competed with.
That's like, is that an impressive?
Wait till you see it.
Just wait till you see it happen in person.
Speaking of child stars.
What? I'm talking about child stars right now.
I just wanted to ask you guys a question.
Okay.
Have you seen, and maybe you saw this.
It was a while ago, but it came up again.
Zach Efron's chin.
What?
He's been modified.
Have you seen Zach Efron's chin?
I have no idea.
Has he gotten plastic surgery or what?
So I think any person who's not completely
brain dead would say yes
but he denies it because
in 2014
in 2014 this is so long
ago in 2014 he shattered his job
he looks like uh
what the hell
he looks like a mad TV
impersonation like like
he looks like like Cald like Baldwin
he looks like do you remember that guy
this is very specific
that's weird maybe I'm wrong
maybe this is a misremembering
what this guy looked like
do you remember fucking Ty Pennington
from that fucking
Yes, move that bus.
Yeah, extreme makeover home edition
where they would go to families in need
and they would remodel their houses
and then force them to pay incredibly high taxes
so they would be evicted out of the neighborhood.
Like every fucking show ever.
Here's your free shit except for pay all the time.
Here's your free car.
Now you have to pay off this $3 million car
and it's like I never wanted that.
I had my pit my ride.
Same shit.
Did you ever see that interview with exhibit going like
you didn't see me holding a single tool on that show?
I don't know what the fuck was going on.
Have you seen that?
That's from my question.
comedy show. I'm afraid of what it's from.
You're right though. It's from a comedy show. He said, he's like, I didn't hold shit. I didn't touch
shit. I was there getting a paycheck. I mean, plastic
surgery is whatever. I don't know. I had no idea about this Zach Afron thing and I'm still
looking up images. If there was ever a time to spark one of those like, this celebrity
got replaced by a different person. Yeah, like Avrilur. He looks completely different.
There's certain photos of him where he looks like the troll face a little bit. And it's like
really, it's a little off-putting.
So you know what's the interesting thing about this?
It's actually kind of sad. So obviously
he got some work done and it's noticeable
and it looks bad. He's done two
interviews, one of them they talked about it.
He's dismissed saying that he broke his
jaw. There was some swelling, different
muscles that came over. It doesn't make any sense because
he's only recently looked like this.
He's only looked like this for a year or two.
And he broke his jaw back in 2014.
So it makes zero sense. Yeah, okay.
That doesn't make any sense. He did an interview
recently and, uh, because
he was promoting something, I forgot, like a movie or some, whatever the fuck he's doing,
and somebody who's working with him sitting right next to him, an older guy.
And the interviewer, this lady, asked about the jaw.
And then you had to dispel the rumors, blah, blah, blah.
And then the guy sitting next to him, the old guy, which you can tell really bothered Zach.
He said, yeah, if you think, if he got work done, you think he'd look like that, just in a
sitting there that he looks like shit.
Oh, no.
That's so mean.
That's really, fuck.
Ooh.
That's
obviously a disfigurement, idiot.
That's why I was like, fuck, dude.
And then the lady was like, oh, you're just kind of stirring the part of pot on to.
There's, like, there's something about plastic surgery.
I don't know.
Like, I understand if, like, people are living with, like, an actual, you know, like, deformity
and want to, like, get rid of that.
But there's something so bizarre about how people view themselves and how much of,
an illusion that is.
Like,
no one has a real accurate version of how they appear to other people.
And so you see countless examples of people going down this weird sort of cycle of repetitive plastic surgery, uh,
modifications till,
like,
some people,
like literally look like,
like,
like a horror character or something,
you know,
like something terrifying.
And it's like,
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 yours recently. It 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 Law, from, thanks for coming by the show.
Thanks for having me. Visit furtherpeople.com for an office near you.
In some ways, I almost feel bad for being like, okay, like, what, do you think that looks good or like, it's bizarre?
I get that feeling too sometimes.
It's self-perception because it's like, I've seen like me and my, me and one of my friends, we constantly send each other videos like people that have been like augmented in ways that look bizarre to us.
But what happens is that it's just, it's just people's perception of them.
Like, I think initially if you're going to get work done, for me personally, I'm ignorant because I've never got any work done.
but you have to have a decent sense of self-perception,
at least a decent side,
because it's so easy once you go under the knife
wants to change yourself to just keep doing it
until you get to that perfect.
Do you think it's like an addictive thing?
Of course.
100% for some people, yeah.
One of the side of it.
One of them is the other one.
It's just like, so I've talked about this before,
my body dysmorphia.
It's not the worst,
but it exists in a way that I remember
when I was 180 pounds
and I'm just like fuck man
thinking that I'm pretty fat like fuck
I gotta get this off whatever
and now I'm sitting at like 225
a lot of muscle but still a lot of fat
and I'm just like Jesus Christ
I just think I was fat looking at
2016 pictures of me like it's fucking wild
bro like just how much your brain just fucks with you
yeah it's yeah I mean
it can get some but then there's some people that consider themselves
as pieces of it's like genuine pieces of wire
where they want to augment themselves
so they look, so they look fine for them.
Because it's not for every, obviously, like, a lot of people, it's for people to be like,
oh, I want people to look at me and view me.
It's like very good light.
If it makes them happy, I guess.
That are just like, I want to be where I think I'm fine.
I don't feel like that's often the case, but that is the case at times.
Yeah.
It's also just a matter of like, I mean, like, I, like, I've known people who like I wouldn't,
I wouldn't have guessed.
Yeah, there are people I know too, but never guess.
But then there are some people who it's like incredibly obvious.
And even just without having known them first, you know what I mean?
without even having a point of comparison.
It's like, oh, that's clearly not what a human being looks like.
You know, it's, and yeah, I feel bad about it sometimes because I do think like, you know,
but I don't know.
It's, I can't say that I would ever, it's not something that is particularly, the idea of going into surgery at all is not appealing.
Yeah.
Isn't there some, like, risk of complication every time?
Every time.
Yeah, absolutely.
You could die at any point.
To just be doing it for, like, pure vanity rather than.
make it necessary
It's it's it's not my thing
My grandmother used to do cardiac
Surgery like cardiac surgeries
Not like cosmetic surgery
So it was very different
She performed she would she performed them even
Yeah she used to work
She used to work in there
And she was just like yeah
Like
It's nothing
It's nothing like somebody coming in for something minor
And then
That's it
Go tell the family
Nurse go tell the family
Yeah
You do
Yeah
Insurance is insane bro
For cosmetic surgery
You know you have to
most insurances obviously won't cover that stuff.
So if you end up dying,
you paid for someone to kill you essentially.
They didn't mean to kill you,
but that's basically like,
all right, here's the bill,
here's the surgery bill,
who's the anesthesia bill,
and then the anesthesia bill,
and then that shit fucking killed you.
I didn't even have you started healthcare in this country.
It's a fucking joke.
It's wild.
Canada's health care is getting like worse
as time goes on.
Are you in Canada?
I am in Canada.
Oh, I don't know you're Canadian.
Yeah.
Yeah, we need some major.
revamping. But it's all done like
provincially and so like things have kind of just like
been left relatively unchecked to such a
degree where it's like okay we should have probably
been addressing some of these issues like 10 years ago and like
yeah it's great everyone's covered but like there's
you know it's in BC or Ontario it's like very
difficult to find like a family doctor sort of thing
like doctors are underpaid for what they're doing and
yeah we we could use a bit more funding in that and
a bit better infrastructure.
can't complain too hard
you know
knowing a lot of people
from the U.S. where it's like
they tell me about a thing I'm like
oh you should get that checked out you should go to the doctor
they're like but it costs money I'm like don't you have insurance
they're like no it costs money with insurance I'm like
what
you still have to pay like $80 just to go to the doctor
and have them say like drink some orange shoes
dude my insurance
it rails me every month bro
every month but I have to have it if I don't
have it then I know as soon as I don't have it
I'm getting shot
I can feel it.
Yeah, it is, it is, it does feel like kind of a luxury to just be able to like go to any doctor in the city and just like show up and not just show them like my health care card and that's it and not pay anything.
I remember I got treated for something in Canada.
I can't remember how long ago this was.
And I remember I was just baffled.
Autism?
Yeah, probably.
Probably.
In all likelihood.
But I remember like, wait a minute.
I didn't understand.
This is a long, long time ago.
And I didn't understand.
understand the concept of like, what do you mean?
What do you mean?
It's not, this isn't expensive.
What are you, what are you saying?
Like it did.
And it's funny because like when I was younger, I used to have the exact opposite assumption.
Like when I would see an ambulance.
The propaganda machine worked.
Well, it's just the reality set it where it's like, oh, fuck, going to, keeping yourself
healthy is like expensive.
But like when I was a kid, you'd see like, I don't know, I would see like the police
truck or the police car, the fire truck and the ambulance.
And I would always assume like, oh, yeah, those are, you know, public utility vehicles.
Like, you don't pay the police to show up.
You don't pay for the fucking fire department to show up.
You don't pay for an ambulance to show up.
And then my parents were, they gotten into a car accident, like a crazy one, like loony, like looney, too.
It's fucking insane.
And then they came back.
Like, they were in the hospital for a little bit and they came back.
And they're like, yeah, we just got the ambulance bill.
It's, it's $3,500 to drive us about, I think.
like four miles to the
hospital. Most expensive taxi
ever. It's fucking insane. Yeah, that's what I say.
Just calling Uber instead of an ambulance.
No, that's what I said. I was like, bro, if I
break my, if I, if I
ever, like if I break my leg or something,
if I'm in dire straits, man,
I'm Uber. I'm a million percent.
And I'm not even like strapped for cash
or anything. But it's just like, why the, what am I
going to spend $3,000? Fuck.
I know the value of a dollar. I'm having
my baby. I'm having my baby in
my house.
and then I'm going to go there and give the papers
because that's it
There's still a Republican's complaining about fucking white birth rates
It's like why don't you just make people's lives a bit easier
Maybe they'll have kids like Jesus
Yeah
Exactly that
Can't do it
How much is it to hold your baby?
I forgot it's like it's like a crazy one of money
The holding your own baby fee
I'm not even kidding
Is that DLC?
It is a
It's a micro-transaction
You gotta get your V bucks, bro.
Yeah, absolutely.
I remember reading something.
Let's see.
Let's see.
Average.
Average.
It's more than it should be.
$26,000.
What the fuck?
But here's the weird thing.
Keep that motherfucker.
But usually your insurance will cover most of it.
You'll end up having to pay like $5,000 or something.
Cover what though?
That's what I mean?
It's like it's still absurd.
No, I totally agree with you because they do, they literally
artificially inflate prices because they can because we and the people allow them to, right?
We allow them to by not doing anything.
And the problem is what I hate is like how we only talk about how dumb people are.
They are so easily convinced that like, oh, this is better for you.
I remember, I remember my.
American exceptionalism.
It's absolutely.
I remember in 2014 when affordable health care was passed, right?
And I was like, I was like, ah, let's see what happens because I was content as
an adult just going to clinics because on average they were like 30 to 35 dollars just go to a clinic luckily
i had not been in a thing where i needed to go to the emergency room or i needed like something dire just
clinics were fine i have an infection or whatever 30 dollars plus the five dollars for the medicine or
whatever affordable health care passes not only am i required to get health care which i was
upset as an american i really felt american at the time like are you're trying to make me do something
So I took the penalty
Which in hindsight I shouldn't know because it was $600
$600 fucking penalty for not having insurance
Literally had to pay money to not have insurance
That's also amazing by the way
Yeah that's time just happened that happens too
You don't have insurance during taxes
They literally charge me $600 for not having insurance
I'm like that is insane
I make sure bro
I make sure before I get into that
Before March rolls in bro I make sure my insurance is looking
crispy bro
crispy just so I don't have to get fucked over
after that I still was like
alright whatever paid it fine
I went to a clinic one time before
because I had my whizzen teeth
would destroy my gums and it got infected
and I was like oh yeah
yeah yeah do you have insurance
and I'm like no it's a clinic I thought
it shouldn't be that much like oh it $200
I was like what's the point
there's no point of clinics anymore
it's the same as if you walked into
Kaiser Permanente or something.
It's the same fucking price walking
in without insurance. And I was just flabbergasted
that essentially got to the point where
finally a biller and I had to go
to the emergency room because of my
had these, my provolapse and
a biller was like, we'll give you
emergency medical insurance and then you have
30 days to get insured. And when I went,
they gave me some government insurance, which was like, say,
the insurance that like Canadians and most of the world
experience where they
don't pay anything and they don't get the best insurance but they're not paying anything so and at the
point where because i was broke as fuck at that time i got let go for my job because i kept having panic
attacks and they had to let me go and uh long story short i had since then made normal amounts
of money and i would report my money to them and they wouldn't change anything and i'm just like bro
what is happening i don't understand this and why isn't that why doesn't everybody have this
i was making the you know above the poverty line and there was still zero and i would
tell people look into it's called cal optima i would say look into this maybe you can get away with
not going fucking broke when you need a major surgery or you need something because i was paying
zero dollars my wisdom teeth pulled out optometry anything i was paying no money i just love that
if you can't afford insurance your penalties that you have to you're fine you know like like
it's so yeah in californ in california it's easy to get in california it's relatively easy to get insurance
It's very general, general basic.
It is a relative, basic insurance.
You're absolutely right about that, Adam.
It's the tax of being poor on everything.
Everything you do as far as like you get deals, overdraft fees.
If you have, if you spend more money, let's say for a gym membership,
if you have enough money to pay for in bulk in a year, you save money versus the month the month thing.
Like it just everything, you get fucked for being poor.
Ringing the economy, you know, bribing politicians.
Even just little things like just basically like how.
ruining the way that people will be able to choose laws.
Like, hey.
Even just, no, but like, even like little things to me, like, even just like the way that
ticketing works.
Oh, yeah.
Like when Justin Bieber is like speed racing through the fucking streets of Los Angeles and like
almost like running over pregnant people, like, maybe he shouldn't pay like a $150
fucking ticket, you know?
Yeah.
Maybe that should be, maybe that should scale a little bit.
The, uh, it's actually a bad.
Yeah.
The Guinness World Record Holder for the most expensive speeding ticket was like some millions of dollars because it was in a different country, like a European country where it was proportional to income.
And the guy was just like speeding on his motorcycle, but he was like the air to some like sausage factory or something.
And so it wound up.
It was like millions of dollars for the ticket.
Which makes sense because you want to decentivize people equally.
Like being rich, it's like, oh.
well, I can afford the ticket, so I'm just going to ignore all the laws.
Like, if $400 means nothing to you, what incentive is there for you to not break the law?
There is none.
It's all terrible.
Did you see people complain about, because, so King Charles, right, he didn't pay any tax on the inheritance, right, from the queen.
And when it was supposed to be like 40%, and I saw people.
Oh, yeah, that was bullshit.
And there were, I saw people complaining.
not that that's bullshit
because it obviously is. They're like
that's so expensive. Why would you even
have? And my whole thing is like that's what you're
you're fucking paying that now. That's your money.
You're the biggest welfare
queens literally. Yes. Yeah.
Oh my God. I'm getting
I'm getting you're you pay tax dollar money for them to
just party and not have to do anything important
with their life. It's so bewilderance.
This is this is this is
accurately. This is
This is genuinely, like, for real, making me so upset.
Let's, let's go.
Let's, let's, uh, go into.
If we're going to change topics, I'm going to pee real quick.
Is that fine?
Yeah, go ahead.
Yeah, that's fine.
You're all good.
All right.
Yeah, let's just, um, we'll make a mark.
No, this is good.
Let's, let's just, let's just keep the time.
Yeah, just keep it going, baby.
We don't have, we'll get into the questions right when he comes back, but we'll, uh,
and, uh, so how's your guys's days going?
You guys having a good day?
You guys have a, besides, oh.
I'm still a lot of pain.
Oh, it's fine now.
Yeah.
Now that I threatened to destroy them, they came.
Excellent.
Which is, of course, I had to threaten them to do their jobs, which, you know, is wonderful.
That's great.
I like that.
Threat, man, I'm coming harder you can believe.
Dude, I did everything.
Like, I filed a complaint with the FCC.
And I think that got their attention because I got a call from somebody who, first of all, no accent.
Second of all, had a very clear signal.
No accent.
The nicest phone I've ever heard to anybody speak through to me,
like wasn't some guy in a call center in India.
It was some guy who's like, hi, my name's Matt.
I'm with Spectrum.
I've been hearing, I've heard you've had some issues with us.
And I just wanted to personally just see how things were going
and see if we can get some people out there to really get your shit sorted.
And I'm like, thank you, my friend.
Yeah, you better.
Hey, let's go.
And it was so, it's so fucking sad that you really do have to just.
Because I try to be nice.
I really do.
I try to be as, especially with service people, you know, because like, I know that like, oh, I brought, I got a stupid parking ticket.
So I'm going to go to the courthouse and pay in pennies.
That fucking clerk didn't do that to you, you know?
Like, and I had like, and so the people come into your house to fix your internet, it's not like they're not the people.
They're not the ones.
Right.
You know, so like I try to be as like as nice as possible.
But like I had like seven fucking technicians coming in like three days.
Which is horrible.
I used to be, I used to be the nicest.
And now it's not like that anymore.
Super nice.
And so like at that point I was like, hey, listen, I'm going to file a complaint with the FCC.
I will pursue legal action.
This is getting fucking ridiculous.
And then immediately.
What happened?
Like my internet was, I had like this huge fucking fight with my internet company where like
my connection would die.
Like not just dropping quality, but die every 10 minutes for a while.
And it made it like literally impossible to do any of the things that I have to do.
Like I couldn't upload a video.
I couldn't do a podcast without dropping in and out constantly.
I couldn't upload or render footage.
It was just like fucking me over until I couldn't stream.
So it was just like, and I dealt with this for like a good like two weeks.
And it was just like I was calling him.
I was like, hey, hey, fucking this is really bad.
I'm getting fucked here.
And I just had like a bunch of technicians come in.
Long story short, I threatened to, I threatened them.
And then they finally sent somebody out and they actually fixed it.
So.
Make threats.
That's the key.
You just got to...
Make threats.
Unfortunately, you just have to be a dick.
Make threats.
I would rather not...
That is the environment that America breeds.
Everybody becomes a worse person by staying there longer.
What?
I'm a better person.
Yeah, sure.
That's what they all think.
Yeah.
Yeah. Okay.
Better person.
I'm way nicer.
Anyway.
Oh, before we got into...
Before we got into questions, because I don't think anybody asked about this, but I'm curious about your take on this.
This, this, what was this movie?
Don't, don't worry darling or whatever the hell.
I am so not like in the conversation for that.
I'm just, I'm loosely aware of the drama behind the scenes.
Have you seen the movie though?
No.
Okay.
It's not so.
Like, I have no reason to see it.
Like, maybe I guess if I reviewed it, then like, you know, people would click on the
video, I guess maybe.
I don't know.
But like, yeah.
It wasn't on my watch list or anything.
So I just, right.
And it's film festival season right.
now and I'm already seeing like
fucking 40 other movies
40, Jesus
God
I would be remiss not to bring that up because
it's kind of a...
What's going on with it?
What's happening?
I honestly don't know.
I think Harry Styles is in it and there's
like some drama involved with like I think he
cheated on.
Yeah.
The director cheated on someone with him or something.
I don't know.
It's all bullshit.
The director's dating him, right?
It doesn't matter.
I was dating him.
Okay, it doesn't matter.
It's like a flop anyway, I guess.
Yeah, it's not very...
No one's seeing it.
It's funny.
Chris Pines is like, because he had like two segments where he was like doing the, um, the circuit for that movie.
But then I was doing a circuit for the D&D movie.
He was like really excited and like jumping around and be like, this looks awesome.
I carried to be a part of this movie.
And then for that movie, he's kind of just.
I did see that.
That was how I became aware of him because I didn't know anything about it.
And then I saw those, those images of Chris Pine disassociating on the press circuit.
That's funny.
And, uh, what is it?
I think like Harry Styles like spinning.
Yeah, he like spat on him.
It's very fucking weird.
Yeah, and he's just like...
Yeah.
Yeah, there's a bunch of like absolute narcissists and psychopaths working in Hollywood.
So funny.
It's so funny seeing how happy, how excited he is for one, like an actor being really excited
for one position and then just being like, I'm doing this for money.
And the other one.
It's why I admire Harrison Ford a lot.
Like whenever he's up there
He just he does not
Like they're asking him shit about Star Wars
He couldn't care less
He's like how do you feel about Ben Soto
Suck my dick
He just keeps going
What he says like
What the fuck is a force ghost or some shit
Like like he like
They ask him a question about things
What the fuck is a force ghost?
I love that
That's brilliant
There's some stuff recently about like
Which is by the way a little bit weird
That I think Alan Rickman
Had like a diary that like everybody's like
prying open now, which is, you know, a little bit fucked up.
Maybe, uh, maybe, you know, maybe don't do that.
But apparently there was like some stuff about him talking about like him like not liking
Harry Potter at all, which is like, cool.
That's funny.
That's, isn't that amazing?
He, he died ages ago now and he had a well-aged take.
Look at that.
I mean, if I've never liked Harry Potter and I've all stood on the fact I hated it.
And I'm so glad that a lot of people are hated it.
because I hated since I was a little kid.
I was never really interested.
I was like, I can't stand these kids.
I can't stand everybody.
I didn't.
I didn't.
I didn't.
I was so,
I saw the first movie.
I read,
I think,
I've probably talked about this on the podcast before,
but my mom said,
you need to read a fat.
I asked her for a skateboard.
She said,
you got to read a fat book
and then write a report on in two weeks
and then I'll buy a skateboard.
The goblet of fire came out.
I was probably like 11 or some shit or whatever.
So you just started with the,
like the middle?
I had no fucking idea.
I know my friend when I was in
elementary school had the sorcerer stone or whatever the first one yeah and i'm like that looks
stupid and then the goblet i'm like i don't know i'm just gonna read it i didn't understand it i
got the skateboard the the movie came out i think not soon after the first one the first movie
it was around that time 2000 you how old are you there you're a little older than i am so i came
out when i am i'm 34 seven but when i was like seven it's i just remember that the the that book and
Because I remember a lot of things
Happen around the same time
See if the fourth book was out
Around the time the first movie was out
You're not gonna make me do that
I'm not gonna do that
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
But yeah I saw the first movie
I thought was like this is stupid and boring
I also had a with magic
Magic specifically
It has to be something
It can't
It's like like I liked how
Lord of the Rings
I liked how Dr. Strange dealt with magic
I thought that was fine
Very cool
I thought it was very entertaining.
Yeah, that it comes from other beings.
You got to take it from a being to be able to use it.
Harry Potter seems like they're making up the rules as they go.
Yeah.
I was like, dude, I don't like this magic.
It just sucked.
I didn't like it.
I'm no person to judge Harry Potter because I also like that sense.
Because I like Star Wars.
And Star Wars is legitimately making up the force as it goes.
Like, it's literally the same shit as that like the force can bring people back sometimes.
It can talk to birds.
They can shoot lightning.
It's all, yeah, when the writers start arguing with each other in the same franchise.
You can run real fast with it sometimes.
And then you can jump.
Wow, that that IP, that's such a giant fucking intellectual property, it could come to that.
You would think that it would be more protected.
Yeah.
You would assume it'd be more protected.
Like for me, I can, I can, when I watch something, right, like, I watch something
and I understand it's mysticism, I'm able to sit.
down and be like
this is fine because it's mystic
and by nature it doesn't make sense
and I can kind of sit down and be fine
with it until things begin
to contradict themselves. Then
is where I'm a point where I'm like all right that doesn't make sense
because before it couldn't do this but now it can do this
you know like for instance
Ray healing ban at the end of the
ninth movie right? I didn't see it.
Anakin is the chosen one
was like a living pipe of
the force and he couldn't heal Padmeh.
How can Ben,
how can Ray just do that?
So that's why the moment I cared about.
Ray's existence was just doing shit.
Right?
Ray's shit was just doing shit that she shouldn't be able to do.
So whatever.
It's like if she's around,
then there's no point anyone dying.
It's like, oh, Ray, touch him.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let me ask you something, Adam.
Adam, let me ask you something.
Like, so I'm sure you were,
I'm assuming you're underwhelmed with like any of the
latest Star Wars that have come out.
You're just like, whatever.
Uh, yeah, I stopped watching at the, what, episode nine is what it was called?
Yeah, that was the last one.
The Rise of Skywalker.
And I don't give a shit about the Disney Plus show, so I didn't start.
I haven't seen them yet.
I haven't seen them yet.
Um, so I want to ask you this, do you think this would be a good idea?
Because I felt like, I thought this was the natural thing that was going to happen in the Force Awakens at the very end where Kylo Rinn's about to whip on.
Ray, but then she just kind of closes her eyes and starts whipping his ass.
I assume since, since, um, uh, Han Solo got killed, Luke was finally going to be like,
all right, I felt that shit.
I, I shouldn't be like a hermit anymore.
I'm going to come over and I'm going to whip Kylo Rin's ass.
Like, didn't it feel like he was going to show up?
Did you have that?
Did you, did you think that at all?
Because I felt like, I had no concept of whether or not that was going to show up.
I'm not a Star Wars fan at all.
I was only like kind of obligatorily.
I was watching the films out of obligation at that point
because they were just like big in the media cycle
and I was like, yeah.
I don't like like, yeah, I don't like the first ones either.
I'm just very, not that I like hate them.
It's just so uninteresting to me.
I feel you though, man, because I always say that I understand
that the people from back in the day who grew up with them
when it first came out, it was probably absolutely astonishing.
Like this is the craziest thing I've ever seen.
Me watching them in the 90s as a kid,
and having some other sci-fi that was kind of coming out that I really enjoyed.
And then watching Star Wars, I'm like, oh, this feels extremely dated.
Yeah, I saw Star Wars for the first time after I had already played through, like,
the entirety of Mass Effect and the entirety of, like, the Halo series.
And to me, it's like, oh, man, this is like, it just, you know.
That's not a bad.
Mass Effect is my Star Wars in the sense of it.
Like, I love the universe that it's set up.
I think a lot of people like Star Wars for the universe that exists.
That's my reason for a lot.
Like, I'm a huge Star Wars fan.
And I'm a fan because of the fact that that world,
like the magic of that world seems so cool to me, you know?
Yeah, that's where I'm not way with Mass Effect.
Yeah.
Mass Effect is fucking top.
But I also love Mass Effect as well because Mass Effect is just like,
Mass Effect is more star-trushche.
Oh, this motherfucker has not even finished it.
He hasn't even finished.
I didn't finish it.
I'm sorry.
I'm going to get to it eventually.
I mean, maybe it's better if you don't.
I mean, if you're trying to force him to do...
Oh, I know what you mean.
No, I just do, dude, I...
If for the reason, I think...
Especially with the legendary edition,
you bought the Legend Edition.
With all of the DLCs,
you don't have to, like, how I played it.
Playing it with all the DLCs included,
I think number three is a great experience.
I think with all, like,
you have the explanation of where they,
the Reapers even came from.
You have what the real...
A lot of people call the real ending
when you take surely...
of the Citadel DLCs 1 and 2.
It feels so satisfactory, in my opinion.
I never actually played those DLCs.
I finished it.
I finished it where everybody else did.
No, I had like a, I think back then I was like really anti.
Not even the day one DLC.
Was there day one DLC?
There was.
It was a big controversy.
The entire.
You're right.
Javik.
His entire storyline.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
Him is a playable character and all the storyline that surrounds it,
which is crucial, without spoiling anything,
it's absolutely crucial to, like, the Mass Effect universe.
And it was so obvious that they just EA told Bio Ware, like, okay,
take a part of your game that already exists and put it in as DLC so we can charge more on release.
Day one DLC, it was absolute bullshit.
And I'm glad I played it with it because as I was playing it,
I was like, I didn't realize until, like, I was so far through it.
I was like, wait, this is DLC?
this feels like a necessary component
to like a sexual character
that's so fucked up
everything they've been telling us
about for the past two games
is being explained right now
that's crazy so I just didn't finish
Mass Effect 3 then
I guess I got it
because I remember I finish it
and it had that stupid color choice bullshit
and then it ended and I was like what
and I remember like thinking like it wasn't
there was a huge thing around that time
Colin was actually a huge part of it because he was like
this is look this is the game
this is what they made deal with it
and people were like upset because like
what do you mean
but like to me I was just like
all right well that was unsatisfying
still great
like I had a good time up until now
but so it's kind of hard to
Chris you probably
at least got that extended patch
that gave you some sort of like
because a lot of people were like wait
so what happened to this what happened to this
what happened to the L Corps like different
yeah yeah yeah yeah
do you remember experiencing
It's, it's, I will admit, it's been a very, very long time.
Two is the one that, like, I really, really fucking, I, I, I loved two.
Like, deep.
I'm gonna, like, if you haven't seen this video that I'm linking you, watch that after, except
Sweeney, because you haven't finished it.
Except, Suey.
Okay.
I, I'll watch it.
Can I be very honest?
It's an interesting fan theory.
Is it the endocrity theory?
Is it the developers say is not real, but it makes way more sense than the game.
I'll check it out.
1,000% well.
I choose to believe it. I don't care
if they tell me it's not real.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Sweeney, don't watch it.
Did you see that apparently, so also, because on
Reddit, that the
original plot of the third
game was, um, it was changed. It was supposed
to be like dark matter or some shit.
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I also feel like if there's
something that was so confused.
I'm so. Yeah, yeah.
We'll move on to questions.
Just so Sweeney is, last thing I just want to say
before we move forward, not diving into this. I just want
to put out that on in seven day.
So November 7th, I'm releasing a power metal song called Commander Shepard.
That's pretty solid.
If you guys mark that shade in your calendars, I'm like, it's pretty much done.
That is plenty of notice.
It was like more than enough, really.
But since we're on this subject, I'm like, not as well fucking just talking about it.
Before we go on, who did you choose as your romance option?
Oh, it's good.
Obviously.
Okay, there you go.
The best choice.
The best choice.
Garris is amazing.
This is great.
I obviously,
these guys already know,
I mean,
these guys know my shit.
Talia,
there's even,
yeah,
wait,
wait,
wait,
wait,
wait,
wait,
yeah,
I forgot.
You got the body pillow.
Yeah,
I forgot you had that.
Official bioware
merchandise.
Come here.
I love that.
If I could somehow
save Matrix Bezineen,
I would,
she would be my interest.
Oh,
Maitreipenezio?
Yeah,
she has such large blue bat,
if I could somehow,
I like how you want a romance her
based on her tits.
She's kind of a jerk, and she was being controlled by what's his name, and it sucked, but like, just for that, I got to save her.
Leara has to take Leara, but I guess, you know, that's my main choice.
Yeah, right, let's move on to some of these.
Okay, let's do it.
Shrink your bill with double savers at Dunn stores.
Saving the aisle with the ingredients for five meals for less than 25 euro.
That's everything you need for beef stir fry, fish finger wraps, chicken casserole, vegetable penet,
pasta and salmon terriaki all for 24 euro 68 cent when you save with a till with a five of 25
grocery voucher find all the recipes on our website done stores always better value terms and
conditions apply voucher confused on next instillor grocery shop of 25 euro or more we get we got a little
longer than we usually do for questions which is good because it's like fucking that means we're
doing a good job here but uh let's see who's this board burger rodin he says what is your what's your
opinion on sex scenes in movie in movies i guess is what he meant i personally feel like it makes
it makes the whole movie feel a little bit odd because it feels like watching softcore porn i
this is a bit of a i do kind of feel like most sex scenes that i see in movies are kind of like
not super necessary they feel kind of of of course yeah yeah like blue is the warmest color it's like
okay you made a lesbian movie for straight dudes like this is not this is not for lesbians
but yeah i mean like uh it depends on the movie depends on the context and what the scene is going for
um there's oftentimes where i'm watching a movie and the sex scene is it doesn't even need to be a
sex scene like the shot of megan fox washing the car in transformers that's not a sex scene
but that serves the same purpose as in like the director and their sexuality is like going to be
on display and anybody whose sexuality matches that can go like oh that's hot and everybody who
is just like, okay, I'm bored.
You know, so, yeah, that's the thing with, like, appealing to something sexual is, like,
everybody's tastes are so different that it's weird.
But there are movies that exist where the sex scenes have purpose.
You know, the sex scene in Antichrist is not done for any erotic reasons.
Like, maybe some people, I guess.
Don't Look Now has, like, some sex scene stuff at the beginning.
But it feels, like, playful and natural.
and it's like, okay, you're getting into like these characters' relationship at the same time.
There's a movie called Shortbuss where the entire concept of the movie is that there's a drama happening between several characters.
And the characters are fucking, but it's real unsimulated sex.
And the actors are just like having sex.
And so it's like a narrative drama, but with money shots sort of thing.
It's kind of interesting.
So that's like, yeah, it's an experiment.
That sounds interesting.
Kind of thing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Depends on the movie.
Depends on the context.
I can't think of a sex scene I've personally seen.
I don't have been like, I guess this fits because it's always like I'm watching a movie.
A sex scene comes on.
I'm like, all right, cool.
And I kind of blank until it's over.
I think the only sexing that ever pops in my head is, it's just because.
Oh, I know the best one.
Watchman when fucking Silk Specter and fucking.
And like, it's just like, it's just one of those things that like the hallelujah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah. It's just, it's just so, like, it's annoying. It's so loud.
Like, so it stands out when I think about it, like, a loud, there's a very loud sex scene.
Sometimes sex scenes, like, interrupt what's happening in a movie.
So if you're not doing that, then it's fine, but otherwise, you know.
The one that sticks to me the most is the sex scene from the room, that horrible, horrible sex scene from that movie.
Oh, which one? The first one. The first sex scene that is just so inorganic.
And I was, I remember I watched the movie and I was like, I remember I watched the movie and I was
like 19 and I was like what the fuck is this?
Because I've never seen a movie that like I never seen a movie that was aware like almost self-awarely that bad and it changed a perspective of films.
I was like oh this is just madness.
I don't know about that.
I don't know if it's self-aware entirely.
No.
It's the most I've seen, I think.
No, it's that that look man, he's made some stuff since then that's like very obviously leaning into it.
but he's not able to replicate his success at all.
No. We actually have a question about that, which is actually perfect.
So Papa Jesus wrote and he says, hey, y'all, by now everyone in their mother has heard of the room.
But I feel like it's just the tip of the so good, it's so bad it's good iceberg.
For example, that movie, Zombie Nation is Leagues Funnier and how unbelievably got awful it is,
and it is a masterclass in what not to do for filmmaking.
What are some amazingly terrible movies you'd recommend to everyone?
I feel like I've heard of Zombie Nation.
It's like not the first time I've heard about it.
Somewhere on the bottom list of IMDB.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is considered one of the worst movies of all time, I think.
It used to be on the bottom list.
I don't think it's there, no, I guess.
I'm just looking.
I wanted to, I mean, I picked this question initially because I kind of wanted to talk a little bit about how, like, the room kind of.
Like, I remember the room being, like, a really huge thing.
And I think after or around the time of that disaster artist movie.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There was like, there's like this feeling of like, oh, it's a little played out.
Or like, it's not really, people don't think about the room nearly as much as they did before that movie.
Or at least people in our circle, like where we're talking about like internet culture and stuff, you know?
Yeah.
It was really done.
Because the room was.
Yeah.
Like once it hits the mainstream, it's like the entire disaster artist movie was just like, remember when he said, oh, hi, Mark?
It's like, okay.
Like that's.
Yeah.
That's pretty much all there was to it.
It got nominated for an Oscar for screenplay, which is really funny.
That's insane.
Yeah.
Tommy Weizzo's story getting nominated for an Oscar, basically.
Yeah, I love Neil Breen.
Neil Breen's my favorite so bad that it's good director right now.
He consistently creates masterpieces.
And, yeah, he just keeps him.
He's the only so bad that it's good director to just keep that consistent level of
quality without getting changed by the outside world.
Because his films are so nonsense that he's able to say, oh, they just don't get it if they
don't like it sort of thing.
You know, like, it's complicated.
He reads as a very unstable, like, I don't think he's capable of understanding.
Like, Tommy O'Sso is like, because I've been to, I think in 2012, I went to like a, like a screening
in Manhattan, like a live screening of the room where Tommy was there.
You took a picture.
I have a picture with him somewhere on my Facebook.
I'll find it.
But, you know, he obviously had some semblance of an idea.
Like, if he's showing up to these things and people are, like, throwing spoons at the screen.
Like, he knows.
He eventually pretended that he was trying to make a comedy the whole time.
Right.
And then he had the, he had that other thing.
It was like, I remember the house that drips blood on Alex was a thing he made, which is like a, yeah.
It's like a, I can't remember if it was like a mini-series.
or if it was like a really short film.
Oh, my God.
But it was like, I remember being called the house.
Yeah, yeah.
And that was like terrible, but you could feel like.
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.
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 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,
from thanks for coming by the show.
Thanks for having me.
Visit furtherpeople.com for an office near you.
The intention behind it kind of start to...
Like, you could feel the intent.
He did not write or direct that.
He just started it.
Right, right.
But the role was...
Like a bad thing.
It was very clearly, like, not accidentally terrible.
Oh, of course.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
The performance.
Yeah.
So if you've ever seen Tommy Wazos as like the neighbors, the TV series he made, 2014.
Oh, yeah.
He tried to do a comedy and still failed.
And it's unwatchable because when you try to create something earnest and fail, it's funny.
When you try to create a comedy and fail, it's not funny.
So it's just absolutely unwatchable.
And so he'll never recreate the same success with the room.
He's incapable of it because the room was a,
yeah lightning in a bottle or whatever yeah
Neil Breen is something else I haven't delved in deep as deeply as you have
but oh it's so good if anybody wants
Neil Breen watch fateful findings that's one of my favorites
that's the one I saw he has two other ones right that I or how many does he
have oh my God has a lot on record he has five
and then a like five and a half hour long self-made document
Menary talking about him making his films that explains like literally nothing.
Oh my God.
It's just him repeating himself.
And then he has another film coming out at some point.
But there's some speculation.
There's some rumors that he had movies that existed before the ones that are known of.
And then he just like got rid of them.
I think it was like Charlie, uh, critical who was saying that there was another one.
But I don't know.
The guy is like his first two films that exist on IMDB, Double Down and I'm Here Now,
he's like not selling them anymore
I guess he got embarrassed of them or something
which is weird because all of his other movies
are like
still also very bad
same caliber
yeah
they're all they're all equivalent
I've only seen faithful findings but I've only seen
like stips of other ones
where it's just like yeah this seems
this seems pretty consistent
I love how double down and I'm here now
have the same exact photo of him on the
on the on the
oh yeah it's great
that's so funny
and they're like two
and they're two years apart
yeah it's
so fucking, yeah,
Neil Breen is a wonderful person.
He's a Breen, yes.
Yeah, I have anybody curious,
I have a video on Neil Breen,
watch it.
It's a good summary.
Sweet.
I would recommend,
it's not,
it's kind of a little bit outside of the So Bad it's good
because it's almost insufferable,
however because of Stephen Seagall.
Like I kind of,
I have a little bit of a slight obsession with him
in his old age and the movies that he's in
because they're
because of him specifically everything else
surrounding the movies are fucking terrible
but because of him being in there
it's worth watching because
he takes these roles that don't make sense for
who he is at all like I would just
say for example a sniper special ops
is a fucking great one
just watching his performance and that is fucking
dude that's he's so bad
I saw that movie by mistake somewhere dude
I don't remember where I saw it
that's me with a
Travolta, like with that
fanatic movie or whatever the hell, where he
plays that. Oh, I still haven't seen.
I keep forgetting to see it.
It's pretty funny.
It's a good watch. I would highly
recommend that movie. That is a movie
that is a staggering movie to watch.
It's a good watch. I enjoyed it.
Every choice in it is very
it's not like the room where you're like,
oh, like everything,
everybody is incompetent here.
It's like you're watching it and there's like
people who clearly know what they're doing but they don't know
why or like what the purpose is and it just things feel like really disjointed and there's like
choices made by everybody's making the wrong choice in the right way constantly and it's
fucking fascinating you haven't seen that derrick really well all i saw was the uh the review of it or
the half of the bag of it i got a you have to i never actually watch it i keep forgetting to watch
it it's i have to send it to you or something i did a commentary track to it it's it's
Oh, awesome.
It's, you should watch that.
So I can, I can, I can do the marriage.
Speaking of, uh, good old, yeah, uh, videos.
Uh, I just want to shout out that, uh, Lion King movie that, uh, you did.
Dude.
Uh, that Lion King video.
Because, because I, because I've watched it.
Yeah, part one.
I watched.
I, I, I have it on in the background sometimes.
Like, I'll watch it.
Like, because it's, it's, it, it's, it's really difficult when you know a lot about
something, like very specifically.
to kind of like telegraph exactly why every single facet of it is wrong because sometimes like
sometimes I go through this with certain things that I hyper fixate on and where it's like is this
so specific that it's that it's not really important to most people and I appreciate that
video because it really is like everything that I thought and then stuff that I hadn't considered
it is there's a lot more wrong with it than should be possible right right
It shouldn't be possible for that much to be wrong with a single movie.
It's the best critique of a film.
I'm sorry I don't joke you, but it's the best critique, like full-fledged, like I'm looking at this piece, period.
And I'm going to point out everything that is wrong with it.
And it's one major point of what's wrong with the movie.
It's one major point, which is that it relies solely on the fact that we saw the original movie.
That is the main problem with it.
That's the main problem with it.
But the fact that you point out why at every single moment of the movie, it does that.
It's so impressive to me.
It's like, wow.
Yeah.
And there is a difference between like, because I do think people, there's a little, I don't know, there is this idea.
And I've seen it on Twitter and I do kind of agree with it where it's like there is like a level of like cinemasons tier kind of criticism like thrown around on like Twitter all the time about like, oh, here's a screenshot of like, oh, the car.
The coffee cup shouldn't be there.
And it's like, it's very different to pick apart a movie in that way and in the way that that that Lion King videos.
It reminds me a lot of the like that the 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 a 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 Law,
from, thanks for coming by the show.
Thanks for having me.
Visit furtherpeople.com for an office near you.
The Plinket.
Oh, my God.
Oh, yeah.
Like the original trilogy Star Wars videos.
It's like up, it's like there to me,
where it's like it's a really, fucking solid video.
So everybody should watch that video if you haven't.
I can't stand the Lion King
and I had no idea how,
I had no idea why.
I couldn't say it until that minute.
It's just a nightmare.
It's just like the, there's, you shouldn't, it shouldn't be possible for so much to be wrong about a movie.
It, it's because I'm so passionate about the original and like, I understand it better than the director of the remake.
So, like, yeah.
Yeah.
There's things that need to be communicated.
And I also, I think I also benefit by being a person that, like, not a lot of people can articulate things about music.
very well and I have a bit of a background with music and that's just such a key important part to the experience of the both films so well since since this is kind of like uh I mean we can pick up where where Sweeney went after this but I just want to get it out there because Elsie Bray's pyramid scheme wrote in and she goes greetings and salutations Mr. Adam as we all know your love of the Lion King the animated one is no secret which makes me curious what about the Lion King makes it one of your favorite Disney movies and what do you think it does better that?
than the others.
Well, it is the only Disney movie that really isn't afraid to be, like, brutal with its
emotions.
Some might disagree.
Some might say, like, oh, yeah, like a pick, one of the Pixar movies.
Like, the first, however many minutes of up is, like, pretty brutal, too.
But I feel like in the Lion King, you don't, you don't.
we've never really gotten a film other than that where it develops a character like
Mufasa for the like the entire first act and like his relationship with Simba and then they die
right whereas like up it's like okay this character we're getting like a little montage of their life
and then they die and then it gives motivation for the main character the rest of the film
but in the Lion King it's like you actually take something away from the audience that the audience
had experienced with the character of Simba and
every, because it was
Disney's side project at the time,
they thought Pocahontas was going to be like the big money maker,
so they had a B-team work on the Lion King.
Because of that,
they were able to take a lot more risks in that sense
and be able to tell
a much more risk-taking, much more unique story in that sense.
And they, like, they haven't made anything like that since.
It was also the peak of 2D animation for Disney,
like, before they started just,
just like exclusively going 3D.
And, you know, much after a lot of the, like, kinks were worked out of 2D animation.
So it was really, like, basically perfected.
There's, like, tiny things wrong with the animation.
Again, Cinemason's level worthy.
And I pointed some of them out.
But, you know, it's still my favorite animated movie ever.
It's got a range of emotions.
I can watch it in any mood.
I can be, like, happy, angry.
you know, sad, horny, whatever, and I can just watch the movie.
It's a versatile.
It's a versatile movie for sure.
I like that.
Yeah, it's kind of, it's been a long time since I've seen, since I've watched the original
again.
I don't know that movie like the back in my hand like terrifyingly.
Like that is like one of the, that's like one of the few Disney movies.
I think I watched until it like got completely inscribed into my brain.
Like, yeah.
Oh, sorry, I drop to you, but there's a scene in the new one where they're walking on the tree as Simba grows up.
And that scene is so horrible in the new one because you don't see, you don't, like the biggest thing about liking, why it works for me is because of the fact, and why it doesn't work another one.
My problem is that the way they can emote in animation is not the way an animal.
the moats. That's just not how it works.
Like it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a
but like it's a tech demo is what it is. But like similar.
Like him eating the first grub, like, him eating the first grub being like slimy yet
satisfying. Like his face when he eats it means so much. It's like, oh, he really enjoys it.
Opposed to like what I really, what I really loved about that scene is that you thought the grub looked
delicious. Yeah. Like I thought like, when I was, like, when I was, what I was.
watching that movie, I thought that looks fucking delicious.
And in the new one, it's just literally a
fucking pile of words.
And it's like, oh.
And it's like, gross.
Lacking, like, color and expression.
And like, yeah, even if I pointed this out in the review, but like, even if,
even if you were so strict that, like, you wanted a rule of no facial expressions
are allowed, there's other ways in the language of filmmaking to be able to convey emotion
that he just chose not to do.
And so it's like, okay, well, like, go fuck yourself, dude.
Why did you even make this?
I love that you brought up...
I love that you brought up the fact that it was the B team
because it's so...
That is such a common thing
that happens with a lot of...
Even like video games and movies and like...
I specifically think about the original combat evolved
how that was like people...
I think the people at Microsoft thought
there was like some game called Azjurik
or like some weird other game
or like people thought like Odd World
was going to be like the system seller
for the console.
So they were like,
ah,
well let these,
these guys just do
whatever,
I guess,
you know,
and they didn't really have
a ton of notes.
They'd just let them do
whatever the fuck they want.
And it was like the grand fucking,
like objectively probably like the only real fucking successful thing
out of that,
that launch window.
And the fact that it's like true with the line thing.
What was it probably?
Hmm?
I don't remember if it was like actually the,
hold on.
Let me,
I can't,
it was like.
It's really,
it's been proven so often.
If you look up,
if you look up Xbox launch titles,
it'll definitely like be there
it's it's like some weird
avatar looking fucking thing
not not
airbender
fucking
oh the blue
they released that movie again too
that movie's on theater's not for I'm speaking
oh yeah because they gotta prep you for the second one
because everyone forgot about the first one
I forgot the name is it about that movie bro
you know what
I got pretty cynical about it too
and then I rewatched it in the past year for my podcast
and I'm like yeah this works
I like the music.
Yeah, there's a reason why it was successful.
It's not great.
I like the way it looks.
Like it looks beautiful.
I give it that.
I'm comfortable with it.
I'm not going to be,
I am usually so cynical,
but I'm like,
I'm okay with Avatar.
I'll watch the second one with,
you know,
cautious optimism,
but I don't think it'll be great.
I feel you,
I just,
I just always felt that it didn't deserve
the amount of praise it was getting.
That's all.
Kind of like the way with,
what happened with,
what was,
that just came out, Top Gun Maverick.
Oh, really?
Like the type of reviews.
Like, I was seeing people that I know,
oh, I saw it twice.
And I just think,
there's no way a movie about Jets is that good.
There's no way.
I understand it.
I understand it.
I'm, like, not up there.
I made a review on that, too.
But I get it.
I understand exactly why, like, it's that successful.
It has an energy to it.
If you ignore all of the documents,
dialogue scenes and like go to the bathroom instead, then it's a great movie.
Is it though?
I don't know, man.
Like, I did like, I did like the action.
I thought the action scenes were really fun.
I was like, oh, it's the dog fighting's fun.
That's fun.
And then the, you know, everything that, okay, cool, cool, cool.
But I felt like it was the most, it was like this.
And was it because it was the safest movie?
It was one of the safest movies I've ever seen.
As far as like, just low stakes.
then nothing really
you're talking about romance everything was just very
basic
yeah it was just kind of sprinkled in
I didn't like there was
I still haven't seen it
I just felt like it was like a very
I don't know man I
I just I know it was gonna be overhyped for me
but I at least thought
I'm not sure
what like when you say you get it I don't
I don't really understand why people were
so like oh this is because it wasn't
I just don't really
because I'm like okay the the the action
wasn't the best action I've ever seen
so I can't even
I don't even want to rewatch that
I don't even know it's just not
anything I'd ever want to watch twice
you know what I'd watch it a second time for the action
I thought the action was great oh okay I thought that it was like a lot
healthy mix of like you know
practical and non-practical effects that
turned out to be like really convincing for it
and also like I don't know if you've seen the original
top gun it's like it's so much better than the original top gun
in terms of like it being able to correct all of the issues with like pacing and
the first top gun i've seen and i saw maverick like maybe like a week or so ago and i don't think it's
i don't think it's bad i don't think it's good like i don't i don't hate most things like i'm like
i'm the one that generally likes like i'm the person that likes star wars and marvel comics you
know in this in this group so i like most things most things don't really bother me i just thought top
gun was fine.
I think Avatar,
let's put it this way.
Let's put it this way.
I didn't like the first one.
Look at the ratings.
Look at the ratings of Maverick versus Bullet Train, for example, I would say.
Like, I watched Bullet Train and I was like, this is a movie that I would like to own a physical copy of.
I really enjoy it.
I enjoyed it enough.
I don't know your opinion on it.
You might think it was a production.
I didn't watch it because I don't like the director in terms of like, not like I have a vendetta against them,
but I've seen their other movies and they seem done special.
I looked at the meta score, it seemed unspecial.
And so I was like, okay, if I see this, it will be at home.
I didn't want to go to theaters for it.
Oh, actually, I did.
I saw the theater.
It was a, the $3.
What was it?
They did that $3 movie day, like a couple of weeks ago or something in the United States.
It was like national movie day where every movie was $3 or something.
Oh, I heard about that.
That's so weird, yeah.
Yeah.
Movie day.
I really enjoyed it.
So I found, uh, as Zerick.
Yeah.
Azaric?
So what's so special about this?
This is like...
Azaric Rise of Parathia.
That was supposed to be like the big title.
That was supposed to.
Yeah.
It's a mouthful.
Yeah.
Like they thought it was going to be like their Zelda or whatever.
They thought it was going to be like a...
They're Pocahontas.
Like a huge fucking...
They're Pocahontas.
Yeah, they're Pocahontas.
But yeah, I think, I think the Lion King does stand pretty high emotionally.
Like it's a pretty resonant movie.
I think there are parts of other Disney movies that kind of get close, but never at they're not as
I think
oh my god
there are parts of hunchback
that I think are fucking crazy
like that I need to rewatch that
I haven't seen it a long time
It's it doesn't
The whole thing doesn't hold up as well
Because there's like
It was when they were starting to dabble in like
CG so like if especially now on like modern
monitors you could see like the crowds are like
These are really like awful CG sprites
And it looks like kind of like a like a
Like an early
PS4
kind of
like a sports game crowd
you know how they're just like kind of like loosely detailed
and they're like cycling animations
so like there's certain things like that that don't work
but I think the villain in that movie like
there's certain like beats
that are like yeah yeah I think there's a certain beats
in that movie that are fucking outrageous for a Disney movie
and it ages pretty well but
the Lion King is definitely stem to stern
from like beginning to end it's definitely like
the least flawed Disney movie that I can remember
from my time. It's definitely not my
favorite one. I like it a lot, but it's definitely not my
favorite Disney movie. Probably Tarzan or
Tarzan, Mulan, or Aladdin.
It's not Tarzan. It might be Tarzan.
It's not Tarzan. Because that music's got a killer soundtrack,
I will say, but that's Phil Collins.
Yeah. But that's, but that's, but that's Phil Collins. That's more
Phil Collins than Tarzan. We talked about this before.
But that music is attached to that movie for me, like,
intrentically. It's like, it's like thinking of. When is the last time you've had the
urge to watch Tarzan.
I watched Tarzan like a year ago.
That's serious.
I think I watched it with Chris.
No, we did not watch Tarzan.
I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.
I haven't seen Tarzan.
I guess I watched it with just Gabby.
It might have been another Chris.
It might have been with Gabby.
Because I've definitely watched that in my old apartment where we lived together.
Oh, no, that wasn't the last one.
So maybe like a year and a half ago, two years I watched it in my old apartment.
I love that movie.
Yeah.
Okay, I mean, I'll accept that.
And then there's Aladdin, obviously, Aladdin is great, and then there's Mulan.
I mean, sure.
I shouldn't forget to mention that the Lion King has, like, some of the best casting of any animated movie.
That's true.
Like, in terms of, like, James Earl Jones and Jeremy Irons, like, they had voices where it's like, okay, I can understand why they're playing Lion characters.
You remove the animation and you listen to their performances alone, and you understand exactly what they're going for.
you understand that they're playing like fierce and animalistic characters and they play kings the base of james earl jones's voice just like erupting in the theater like with a good sound system and it was it was at the time where they could hire you know celebrity actors but it was for their talent and they weren't necessarily you know flashing on the poster like and whoopi goldberg it was like before the idea of trying to sell an animated movie based on the voice performances and now you just get like oh john oliver playing fucking zazi like go fuck yourselves
And so, yeah, that and also it's probably one of my favorite scores of all time, like the actual composition.
Not just like, you know, Elton John and Tim Rice doing the lyrics, the songs with lyrics.
Those are great, too, but Hans Zimmer's score.
Zimmer was on that too.
God, damn, bro.
Yeah, like his score for that film is like maybe my favorite score for the movie.
If you think it sounds great, there is a high probability.
That Zimmer was involved somehow.
That's just basically where I think it's his best.
This sounds really good.
And then you look at it up, oh, chorus,
even when I was playing,
because I remember playing Modern Warfare 2 in 2009.
And I was like, oh, man, like, I'm like really getting into this.
I'm really getting into the score.
I don't fuck with shooters.
I'm never thinking of that, like the Army ones.
I'm not even thinking about that.
I'm just shooting people.
But I was actually getting into it.
There's that snowmobile fucking.
escape in the second and I'm like...
I forgot that Hans Zimmer did
Modern Warfare too. That's actually like
kind of nuts. Yeah, it's just
one of those things where I'm like, oh, no wonder
why I enjoyed this. Although to be honest, I do think
video games, there's a lot
stiffer competition as far as like musical
composition. Like there's just like a lot of
amazing scores in video games in comparison.
Like movies have some great...
I think movies have great ones too. I just think that we know
video game ones more. I mean, that might be very
true as well. But like I do think
think like, I don't know, like I can't really remember Hans Zimmer's.
I wouldn't be able to hum Mono Warfare 2's theme to you.
And I played and I played a ton of it.
Even I know it and I hate, like genuinely for real, I hate that game and I know it, which is wild.
I think Modern Warfare 2 is a terrible video game that people think they like.
Yeah, we'll get into that next time.
Yeah, we obviously don't have time for that.
I do want to, we'll do one more.
And I'm singling this out because this is,
it's vaguely adjacent to one of the reasons.
I hate that I know it.
I hate that I know that.
It's vaguely adjacent to some of the reasons
why Adam and I even started talking in the first place.
And it's making out with Dave Rubin to own the lives, he wrote it.
He says,
huge fan of both your podcasts.
If it hasn't already been brought up yet,
what are everyone's thoughts?
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, 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.

And each year we get bigger and batter and our army grows.

From Morgan and Morgan, America's Large Injury Lawfram, thanks for coming by the show.
Thanks for having me.
Visit forethepeople.com for an office near you.
On the Halo TV show.
It's so funny.
I was incapable of watching.
watching it on my own. And that TV show is I think the entire reason why I started my watchalongs
channel. So now I have a channel where I watch a film on stream. I don't show it on stream.
I don't, you know, play the video or audio. But I have a timer at the bottom and I sync it up
and then chat watches it at the same time. It's like a watchalong party. That was the only way I
could get through it. And it was fun to dunk on it and just have, you know, say things and have
chat, be there, and everything, that was the only way I could get through it. And so that's like
literally the only way. I was thinking about doing something like that. And then the Halo TV
show happened. I tried watching it by myself. I was like, I can't. I can't. I shut it off
after 20 minutes. And so it really got the ball rolling on the watchalong channel because, yeah,
I watched through the whole season and it was hilarious. It was so stupid. Yeah. The one one positive
outcome of the Halo TV show. Yeah. Jesus Christ. That had a problem. Jimmy Rings.
I had a problem with that, from the very get-go that I have with certain things.
Like, when you know an actor from somewhere else, like, I watched Orange is a New Black,
and then I saw, oh, this is who Master Chief is.
And I'm like, that's that degenerate correctional officer from Orange is a New Black.
It's terrible.
And that guy was fucking goofy in that show.
Terrible.
And I'll, so it, the perception of him being this badass was so thrown out the window immediately for me.
Yeah.
You shouldn't see the actor's fucking face for.
Christopher.
From the very moment, look, for me, Chief is great.
I like Arbiter more.
I've always been a more of an arbiter guy.
So from the moment, it was about Master Chief, he showed his face.
I was like, I just don't care.
And they were like, oh, there's a little girl that was raised by the Sanhili
instead of there being arbiter as a connection to humanity.
And I was just like, I won't.
Yeah, they would have to CG a camera.
character for more than just the action scenes.
Yeah. That's literally the...
I have a video that I'm working on about this,
so I'm not going to get too in depth with it.
Sure.
It's taking a very, very long time.
It's probably like the most equivalent to like your Lion King video
because I have a lot to say about it and there's just not enough...
It's too much.
But I will say my main problem with these and it will always be true
is that if you're going to take a video game
and you're going to turn it into a television show
generally speaking,
unless it's very hyper-specific,
like I think the last of us could work.
You know?
Like,
I think that's possible.
It's already...
It's already...
It's already incredibly grounded.
It's already realistic enough.
But most of the time,
these need to be fucking animated.
Like,
if you're going to do it at all,
which I would argue is like very,
largely unnecessary, but I get it.
You want as many people doing it.
And it is kind of cool
to have like, hey, maybe
mom and dad or friends who don't play
games. This is something adjacent to something I enjoy.
Let me share this with you in a way that you can appreciate it.
I get that. I understand that value.
But
just based on the track record that we've seen,
it's like even the animated
video game adaptations that we've seen
that weren't particularly all that amazing,
like people who have differing opinions
on the most recent cyberpunk
to the cyberpunk edge runners thing
they have differing opinions on
Castlevania they have differing opinions on
all these other things
I was able to sit through all of those
and enjoy them at the very
least for just the presentation alone
and that is not
going to happen with fucking some
random guy from Orange's New Black walking around
in a fucking cosplay outfit
that I look that looks like I could have built it
Could you imagine a live action
Castlevania show?
It'd be terrible
it would be so shit
That would be so genuinely hilarious to watch.
Yeah.
Think about, I was actually thinking about, I used to enjoy watching the,
the CG Resident Evil films that were coming out in like the mid to late 2000s or whatever.
Yeah, but I would watch them with my friends.
It was like fun because it would be like dumb.
Like I remember what I don't remember which one it was,
but there was just a bunch of those Mr. X type of dudes.
And Leon's just fucking like dodging them and all.
It's just so wacky, but it's like, yeah, of course Japan would make something like this, right?
I like the one.
I like the one where the guy gets like vivisected 10 million times and he like with by the lasers.
And he's just staring really silently.
Oh, like the first, the first Resident Evil movie.
Yeah, yeah.
I always remember that because of, uh, because they, they got slip not to be on that.
They, they fucking, that was like one of the.
I always watched with like, with like horror films or whatnot.
They always wanted to put metal on them.
And that was like a weird thing in the early 2000.
So, Freddie versus Jason.
You're totally right.
That was even with...
Hardcore.
Yeah, right.
It's so brutal.
Even with Godzilla, didn't they have like no shelter by fucking rage?
The 98 one?
Because I remember because I added no shelter to like one of my Spotify playlist because it's like, oh yeah, rage.
I forgot.
And just add some stuff.
And the cover of that song on my playlist is Godzilla 98.
That's hilarious.
I actually don't remember that.
I don't remember.
It was probably just on the soundtrack.
You know, that happened at times.
Okay, yeah, no shelters on there, but it's also very like fuel is on here.
Fucking the wall floors.
God damn, that is a 90s throwback.
Jameriqui, which I didn't even know here.
What the fuck?
Jamirikwai?
Yeah, and not virtual insanity.
It's called Deeper Underground.
So nobody here has heard that song.
Oh, my God.
Okay, okay.
A lot of score type shit.
Yeah.
Oh, sorry.
No, no, go ahead.
No, go ahead.
Go ahead.
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.
$1.20 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,
from thanks for coming by the show.
Thanks for having me.
Visit forethepeople.com for an office near you.
I want to point out two,
two funny things about the Halo show
that you can put in your video if you want.
Oh, sure.
One is I have a theory
for
why
they changed it so that
Cortana is not in his helmet
and it's in his neck or whatever.
It's so that she can continue yapping to him
while his helmet's off.
So they can just have his helmet off the entire show
while she's still talking.
I have...
I came to have almost
very, very, very
similar conclusion.
But I don't think you're wrong.
You guys got to talk about the
the ash cheek shots.
Like they were just...
I was just about to mention that actually.
One of my favorite parts of Halo was the
random out of place nudity.
That was so prevalent.
Did you ever watch my Death Race 2 review?
Way back, like ancient.
Like 2012.
Honestly, probably yes.
But there's no way I'm going to remember.
So in that review,
I talk about the director
Roll Renee
who I was basically
accusing of being a closet
gay because of how he
filmed the movie so first death race
you know different director that was like
Paul W. Sanderson or whatever
death race two direct a video he
he decides to cast Luke Goss
and
despite the like pretense of like
okay well this is about cars and
like women and like yeah
macho stuff and you know
they have some they do cast like a busty woman in the film but the way that the film is shot it's like
okay you have a shower scene luke goss is like completely naked the other girl completely clothed
and the way that they the way that they film it's like so highlighting on his body i'm like okay
roll ren's like he's if he's not out of the closet he should be like please come out of the closet
Roll. As we're watching through the Halo show, I realize that the two episodes with random butt shots in
them are directed by Roll Renee. Every other episode, not directed by him. Let's go. Are you serious?
That's amazing. The director of Death Race 2, who is like just so obviously gay by how he shoots his films.
And then, oh, wow, what a surprise. The only two instances of like random dude butts in the Halo show
are his episodes. And every other episode, no butts.
not directed by him.
That is,
so yeah,
it's confirming my,
yeah,
it's consistent.
Oh man,
I'm so glad we had you on today
because there was no way
I was going to make that connection.
That's awesome.
It's literally,
yeah,
it's insane.
It's so funny.
These things write themselves,
man.
These things write themselves.
That's like,
what was that,
that fucking Dan Snyder in his feet?
Like,
oh yeah,
yeah,
or if I let's,
uh,
Quinn Tarantino,
whatever,
but you know,
or Quinn Tarantino.
He made Jengo.
It's fine.
He made a couple of things.
He made a couple of movies.
He made his glorious bastards.
Okay, well, hold on.
Listen, let's be careful not to compare Quentin Tarantino to Dan Schneider, right?
I mean, look, okay.
There's not going to be careful, but there's still time for Quentin Tarantino to be,
because of how Hollywood works.
I don't like that.
There's still time for him to be way more of a degenerate than Dan Schneider.
Did you see Quinn Tarantino on 106 in Park and putting on like a,
black voice air quotes.
Oh, a black scent?
Yeah.
That shit was vibrant.
I loved it.
It was a great video.
Sweeney, Sweeney, Sweeney, Sweeney, Sweeney, Swinney, Swinney.
Quintanin'nett, Swinney, Swinney.
Quintan, like, assuredly.
Oh, undoubted.
Like, it is so clear to me.
You can't be good at things, really, if you're not.
No, I just mean, like, just the way, just the way, just the way.
Stupid.
The way that he speaks and just like, sometimes he'll speak like the people he's around.
Like, I've noticed this over the, over the course of, like, just watching interviews
with him.
It's like he kind of camellions sometimes, which is like, I don't know.
That was funny.
It's interesting.
But, oh man, that, that's, I have to write that down because that's amazing.
That is, that's a, that's an excellent fact.
That's an excellent fact.
Yeah.
You can, yeah, rewatch my ancient death race two review or whatever or just watch the movie.
It's very unintentionally gay.
It's a very unintentionally gay movie.
That's dope.
Well, that's a, that is a cool, that is a cool, I would say a video.
to make like unintentionally gay movies
and just list them.
Yeah.
You know, because this probably
probably all just his though.
He hasn't,
he hasn't directed much like
major notable films is the problem.
That is so funny that they got him to do that though.
Like even not even just like the gays,
like the dude butt shit.
But like to me it's like
this guy, oh, he directed death race too.
Let's get him on.
Yeah.
It's kind of on the Halo show.
why? What? Because it's it they just they they were taking a pre-existing property. They were not
making it to make a halo show. They were just making a dumb average sci-fi television show using halo
as yeah. Yeah. It's a sci-fi TV show full stop. Yeah, I bet that like you know, it might be
the case where the decision to just have their helmets off meant that they didn't have to hire an actor
for extra time
dubbing over the lines, right?
Because you would never record
the lines from in a helmet.
You'd always record,
you would have to hire them
for more hours.
Just to save money on EBR.
Maybe.
That would make sense.
You never know.
That's not.
Right?
Why else?
Like, who the fuck?
They have numbers.
They have numbers on their suits.
It's not a question as to like
who's in the helmet.
Their suits look entirely different also.
Yeah.
Everybody knows which characters which,
if you're watching the show.
It doesn't matter if their helmets
on.
There's literally no reason for it.
So you have to,
You're right, because even think about a Deadpool, I think prove that you can kind of stick to the source material and keep his shit on and it'll still make money and stuff.
No one's going to be like, I don't know who this is.
Well, we have to consider the fact that, you know, like, you know, it's, Microsoft doesn't have a lot of money.
You know?
Maybe they just don't have the money.
They spent like, what, $70 billion.
They spent $70 billion buying fucking Activision and they just couldn't, they couldn't afford better CG.
$70 million on Activision, $70 million.
They lost how their money indexer.
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.

five.
Wow.
Dan Morgan.
From Morgan and Morgan,
America's Large Injury Lawfram,
thanks for coming by the show.
Thanks for having me.
Visit further people.com for an office near you.
Huh?
Oh,
yeah,
that's right.
They lost all their money in Mixer.
Apparently they didn't because they still had 70.
Imagine just purchasing that.
And then think about how much,
I feel like,
couldn't you make a better deal?
I mean,
fucking Star Wars was like how much?
Was it like $6 billion or some shit?
I don't even remember $4.
Hold on,
because it's not about a better deal.
The point is to overpay.
The point is to overpay.
Yes, they can.
That's why.
It's like if they pay $70 billion for Activision, who the fuck else is going to offer anywhere near that?
They basically secured it.
And also at that moment, it's like it's stupid to say no to this much money, you know?
I guess that's like the stupid auction, the auction people, whatever you call that just.
$8,000 to that Frankfurter.
It's like, literally they could have got away with it for like 500 bucks and they just went to some absurd number just to like make sure, fin everybody off.
They went with an absurd number because they're Microsoft and they can because every piece of technology that you have and or operate even slightly has some roots in their fucking software so they can afford that shit.
But it's never like, oh, Microsoft doesn't think Activision is worth $70 billion.
Like they just, they don't.
They're paying that to secure the deal.
You said billion?
Yeah, billion.
What, you said million?
Are you kidding?
I'm sorry.
You said billion?
Yeah, what do you think that
Yeah, you know it was 70, but what are you talking about?
Yeah, like a hundred million dollars is like a budget
For like one AAA game like if that and that's on like the lower end
That'd be crazy buying Activision for
70 million. That would have been an amazing deal
To give you to give you an idea
Sony bought Sony purchased bungee for about three or so
3.5 billion
That's funny
How much was Bethesda purchased for?
Wait, wait wait wait wait, wait, wait, you said
Bethesda was purchased for seven I believe
Wait a minute.
You guys,
you said billion.
Billion is a billion is a word.
It's Call of Duty.
Okay.
But it's the,
that's so much money.
That gave me a headache.
That's so much money.
That's all of the,
that's all the blizzard shit.
I guess that's like,
wow and Call of Duty.
And that's already like an,
like that money will be back in a year, I guess.
You're like,
but like,
it'll be back pretty quick,
fairly quick because of World Warcraft and Diablo,
Especially not Diablo is Diablo Immortal, which is just siphoning money from people's wallets.
Well, it's incredible.
This is a subject for a later, like a much deeper.
Yeah, true, true.
Well, what are we at right now?
Oh, we're at, well, yeah, sick.
All right.
Well, we're at, we're at that time.
It's about time to close up shop.
Stop.
Drop.
Stop dropping a roll.
But I, yeah, that'll be, that'll be it.
Thank you so much for sure.
up, man. I appreciate it. Really appreciate you being
here, Adam. It's dope.
Thank you. Thank for having me on.
Stop with you, bud.
Yeah, that was a good, that was a fun one.

dumb by saying some interesting shit.

I was fucking born with bags under my eyes.
Do something that you would regret eternally.
You know what I'm saying?
I mean, I keep myself busy.
I don't.
I get burnout in some senses, but, like, I just.
Mostly it's just regret that there isn't like more time in each day because I'm like,
ah, to do this project, I have to put this one on the side burner and blah, blah, blah, blah,
but I'm pretty, I think I'm pretty well structured.
I've been going to the gym now, so.
