Starting point is 00:01:07 He's a little dead mean. Hey, hey, hey, everybody. Welcome back. Welcome back to another episode of the Snark Tank podcast. It's me, your host, Chris Reagan, and I'm here with everybody who's normally here, Derek Blackman and Tom Sweeney. We got something to say before we jump into everything. we've had an unfortunate casualty
Starting point is 00:01:45 the what's his name Bo Bama What's it Bo Bama? Bo Bama What's his name? Bo Obama I think it's Bo Rack Bo Bama
Starting point is 00:02:01 Bo Bama That damn dog that we joke about a lot died, passed away went shuffling into the grapeeon Oh Bama Thought we'd address it This is like one of those. I don't remember how often this dog has come up on the podcast.
Starting point is 00:02:16 It's certainly not as often as often as Dr. Drew, but it was often enough that we thought it was funny. I think he's the second most spoken about character. No, no, no, no. Number one is Keith David. Number one is Keith David. Number two is Dr. Drew, and then it's Bo. And Bo.
Starting point is 00:02:29 That's fair. And then it's Paul Joseph Watson. And then it's Ian Mouth Chong. Yeah, we got some good characters. We got a good cast. Yeah, that's probably an accurate list there. but uh you know rest in peace bo bama he was he was a good boy he uh helped me uh jones stripe jones strike all those brown people i let him push the button it was the dog's idea it's obama
Starting point is 00:02:54 is son of sam what's that beau what's that bow you want me to send 30 30 jones strikes what's that bow you want me to bomb the gaza strip bow i'll do it in a heartbeat for you Bo, anything for you. President Obama, what do, what should we do? What's that, Bob? This is not funny. His dog has died. I'm really sensitive about dogs passing away, guys.
Starting point is 00:03:23 So I'm not going to partake in this fuck shit that they're doing right now. We're celebrating him. I'm not, you're celebrating the fact that he died, not celebrating him because he died. No, we're celebrating his tenacity, his cunning, how he's, he was literally, Obama's right-hand man. And without it, you know, there would be a lot less wars. So let's let's say. Without him, there'd be a lot less wars.
Starting point is 00:03:50 Let's just rest in peace, ball, R-I-P. Obama, you kind of suck, but like, that's a, you're, that was your dog. And I understand it was like losing a dog. So I'm going to be respectful. Obviously. Yeah, it's one of those things where you can, you feel bad for anybody. Even, even, like, you have, isn't it like a, Taylor had a dog, you know?
Starting point is 00:04:10 yeah i i i feel bad that the it's that's a little that's hard yeah that's hard to feel bad you're in a mud you're in a mug right now that's really hard to feel bad about that right hitler's dog isn't usually brought up in in the context of like oh feeling bad when a dog dies it's usually brought up in the context of like even hit even hit even hitler had a dog in the sense that like oh people are trying to hitler had somebody Hitler had a life form that lit up the moment he walked into a room. That's what's crazy. That's why dogs are so great. They can't even tell how horrible of a human being you are. They're just like, keep me company and feed me near the shit. That's it. They're just like, yo, I'm your friend. Like, I got you. Like, no matter
Starting point is 00:04:53 what happens, what's me and you. It's me and you in this fight together, right? Yeah. I don't care all those Jews who killed. Like, I got you. Like me and you. Girst the Jews. That's what he sounds like. Look, we're not laughing. Like, Scooby fucking do. Look, look, look. We're not laughing at the fact that he's dead. It's just, it's, it's always like mildly amusing whenever like we, like, because who the fuck, like, when was the last time any of us have talked about Bo Obama's dog before we brought him up on the podcast? Probably literally never. Like, I don't think I've ever talked about him. Never. Yeah. Never, not once. Always. Maybe once or twice. Yeah, right. So the fact that, like, we bring him up and then he just vanishes is, is that's, it's a little amusing
Starting point is 00:05:37 that that's the case. Yeah. People literally, like, I was, how many, I was tagged in so much shit. I imagine you guys were too where it's,
Starting point is 00:05:46 I was just like, guys, we didn't do this. Like, we, just mentioning, like, like Dr.
Starting point is 00:05:52 Drew's still alive somehow. So just to kind of let you know that we couldn't have killed Bo. Dr. Drew will, die someday though. And I feel like later, he got close. He got close.
Starting point is 00:06:02 That's right. That was, I was actually super stressed out about it. well he got COVID pretty bad but he uh you know he recovered that's crazy I didn't get COVID Dr. Drew's a bitch I somehow didn't get COVID that's crazy because he's a fucking he's an asshole like he's like he's like one of those people where he's like oh it's not so bad and he's all fucking hanging out in Mexico and Baja and shit and I'm like of of course he got he got Mexican COVID too that's even worse they use the real sugar in that one
Starting point is 00:06:32 I think But yeah, we just wanted to bring that up because we thought it was like a little. It's obviously sad, but it's also kind of funny that he just passes away the second we bring him up. Beyond that, though, there's, I don't know what to start. There's quite a bit to kind of get there. First of all, there's a lot of shit coming out really soon that is like sincerely overwhelming. New Castlevania season's coming out. Yes.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Beyond excited. Yes. I'm watching that Thursday night, bro. I'm staying up. all night. You mean tonight? It's not Thursday. It's not Thursday? What day is it? It's Wednesday, man. Oh, damn. I don't know what day it is. I'm all delirious because I fucking sprained my ankle and I've been taking ibuprofen. I've been falling asleep at like really awkward hours. From ibuprofen? Well, because I'm also taking Benadryl for my fucking
Starting point is 00:07:23 allergies. Uh, well, stop taking fucking Benadryl. I need it. Just take Allegra, bitch. Allegra? Yes, Allegra is way better. It does this. It's a good antihistamine like you need and it won't put you to sleep. I got so much Benadryl, though. The best part about Benadryl is that that it puts you to sleep, dude. It's so good. I bought a, a year's worth of Zyrtec, and I was like, fuck this shit. I just threw it away after a while, because it makes you, it makes you a little drowsy, too. I love it. I love fighting the drowsy after you take a, like, two Benadryl. And you're just in your room, like, just trying. I heard it's good for beating, I heard it's good for beating off. Like, you take, you take Benadryl. I've literally have heard this. I've heard this.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Who has told you this? Granted, I've, okay, so. Were they bottom feeders? Were they, like, really terrible people? They were probably, so there's this guy. His name is Q. He unfortunately passed away. He was a YouTuber technically, technically, because he had YouTube videos.
Starting point is 00:08:24 But he was this crazy guy that clearly was on, like, meth and stuff. And he would talk about, oh, if you want to get the horniest he've ever been, take 12 Benadryl. Oh, my God. And then. then smoke your weed and then get yourself horny. I don't know. If anybody knows this video, you're a fucking legend. But yeah, this guy, he knows what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:08:48 He knows what he's talking about. 12. He should try it. Jesus. I don't even know if I'd be able to survive that. I'm pretty. You'd be down. You'd be fucking, because you're also smoking weed.
Starting point is 00:08:59 So you're going through the lowest lows, bro. Yeah, this guy's a champ. This guy's a champ that he could even, like, be conscious. do that. Or he was a champ because he's fucking dead. That's like, I feel like, that's like, oh, what are you feeling right now after 12 Benadrylls? You're probably feeling like, oh, like molasses
Starting point is 00:09:15 or something. I mean, I guess it's a thing, though. Success starts with your drive, an American public university is here to fuel it. With affordable tuition and over 200 flexible online programs, APU helps you gain the skills and

Starting point is 00:10:20 I've heard it a few times people trying to, if you fight to stay awake, it makes you loopy. So I guess it makes like other things better, essentially. I don't know. I'm not a fan of, I hate things that, I hate being like under the influence and I have no control over what's going on. Like, say, I took a, for a while, Bob Marley had these, these, these, these ice teas. And when they first hit the market, when things first hit the market, they don't have, they're not regulated by the FDA immediately.
Starting point is 00:10:52 And so this had like a pound of melatonin in it. And I fucking slept for 15 hours for drinking one. And I was so pissed. That sounds awesome. It's awesome if you don't have shit to do. Right. But yeah, it wasn't good. I was pretty upset.
Starting point is 00:11:10 Imagine sleeper for 15 hours and you missed like your wedding. Like something crazy. Your wife thinks you like held it up at the altar and you're like, no, Bob Marley had this energy drink, right? And I wanted to make sure I got a good enough night of sleep so I could be up all day for the party. And I drank it and ended up missing the wedding. And I'm real sorry. She's like, you broke my heart. I was like, no, it's Bob Marley's fault.
Starting point is 00:11:34 It's Bob Barley's fault. Marley Jammin Jammin in the name of the Lord Yo fucking Melaton is no joke man That'll put you out I don't understand how they even put that in it Like I don't understand how you could put melatonin
Starting point is 00:11:47 In an energy drink It doesn't even seem Well it's it was just a It was it was the opposite It wasn't an energy drink That's the wrong word Oh right It was like a reverse coffee
Starting point is 00:11:56 It was like a Camamel tea That's just like Feel Good tea And then they had like three different flavors or something And they all fucked you up And it was like
Starting point is 00:12:06 It's also kind of strange that you can sell melatonin over the counter, no problem. That should will knock people out. It doesn't work on me, dude. I take it pretty regularly. I know some people it doesn't work on either. It works on me. It works on me well. I don't even need it because I don't have trouble sleeping.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Oh, I have trouble. That's why I take it. I have tons of problems sleeping, bro. Every now and again, like you can't take it too regularly because then like your body will just like get dependent on it. Oh, yeah. But it fucking, that's no joke, man. It really does. I think that's probably why.
Starting point is 00:12:40 I think it's probably why, well, not the melatonin, but like the benedil is probably why I spray my ankle in the first. I probably fall asleep down the stairs. But I wouldn't be surprised if that's why. Because I, it's such a fucking. Robitussin, bro. Robitussin? Robitussin. Isn't that the drink?
Starting point is 00:12:56 Up, dude. No, no, no. It's a medicine that tastes like the worst ass ever. It's so gross. I take a little bit of robatessen and I feel sick. Yeah, but you have to get that OTC, you have to get, because it doesn't have coding in anymore. Nothing has coding anymore.
Starting point is 00:13:10 Because all these fucking Southern rappers, they fucked coving up. They fucked up. Dude, they fucked it up for everyone. Absolutely. Because coding used to be in everything. And then they were like, they started.
Starting point is 00:13:20 It was in NICO. From I'm mistaken. Coding was in NICOL. Yeah, I remember, I remember when my first, I've only done that shit like twice in my life. And every time I do that I'm like,
Starting point is 00:13:29 yo, I feel horrible. And everybody's like, don't you feel good, bro? I'm like, no I feel like I'm dying what just drinking NyQuil? No what happened is you you get you get nightquil
Starting point is 00:13:41 you fill it up with a bunch of syrup and like like not syrup like sodas Can we give the instructions to this? Is that something we're allowed to do? I don't think Is that possible? We're fine, we're fine I don't condone anyone doing this
Starting point is 00:13:55 you shouldn't do this. Because even Breaking Bad was like pretty pretty you know is pretty ambiguous about the way That was the thing I understand why it was for that very reason, but it also really took away from the show for me. It was kind of like I liked watching that show House for a while
Starting point is 00:14:13 for maybe the first couple seasons. And I can't imagine if they had no medical shit in it at all. It'd be kind of like a little weird. Like it's a drama that's good, but I feel like it's nerfed. But I understand why they couldn't do it. They couldn't do it because they want people making a punch of bad. Should I, should I, can stop?
Starting point is 00:14:32 Should I stop? I think I'll edit it a little bit. Okay. And I'll make it funny. I don't understand that people chasing that ultimate. Like, I feel like what is wrong with having like four beers or a few or three cocktails or whatever? You know what I'm saying? What is, like, don't you feel fucking relaxed?
Starting point is 00:14:53 Like, what are you trying to do? You're trying to melt into the asphalt? People that take, people that use that shit all the time is because they got real shit going on that they can't deal with. fucking positive of that because like every person that does that's fucking soup and sizzle and sizzar has something fucked up going on there in a really bad situation
Starting point is 00:15:12 or something because that shit is literally poison. It's not good for you. I'm just fine with a drink, you know? Like I don't think I've ever needed like I don't need to like tie my leg to my arm and then like inject a fucking spoonful of fucking Kool-Aid into my bloodstream.
Starting point is 00:15:31 You know, like I don't, uh, huh? I smoked for a while, but I'm like, I'm just like, I'm fine without doing anything. I've been having fun for years without, like, being on drugs. Even when I smoke now, I hate how I feel, because I feel like my brain's in a tizzy, because I can't turn off the bullshit. It feels like, oh, man, here, I'm on a fucking roller coaster ride, and I'm just going to fucking, I'm going to end it where I end it. I have a drink or two or three, and I'm fine.
Starting point is 00:15:56 Like, there's, I don't need this, like, adventurous shit more like, I'm, like, meeting people under bridges. It's like I just don't need it. I think it's pretty good. I think it's pretty good to just have that balance, right? I think that's all you need. Some people, they don't have a governor, right? They just keep going.
Starting point is 00:16:14 And it's like, oh, let me fucking try something else. You got to buy it from a guy that walks out of your shadow. You got to cast a shadow at a certain point in and the person walks out your shadow. And he's like, what can I get for you? You're like, what are a fucking guy from RE4? He's like, what are you buying? It just keeps, like, he shows. up, you have no idea who the fuck this person is, but you still get stuff from them.
Starting point is 00:16:36 You know, it's like, all right. Speaking of RE transition. Yeah. Rends, uh, what do we do? What do we do? Reson Evil? Resident Evil 8. Yeah. I haven't played it yet.
Starting point is 00:16:48 Yeah. Village. I haven't played it either because like Chris said and I agree with them waiting for some spicier mods for more, uh, some, you know, things are already pouring in, but, well, there's, there's, there's going to be the best ones. I want some spicier mods. I want some spicier mods. I would love to play them with the spicy mods on Twitch,
Starting point is 00:17:05 but I can't out get banned. Yeah, you can put a couple. No, she got to be naked. She got to be naked, bro. I'm sorry. I'm not going halfway. If I'm putting on mods, I'm going straight into the diversity.
Starting point is 00:17:17 Literally, my Resident Evil 2 right now, if I booted it up, I would get banned from anything. Because Claire is butt-ass naked, of course. Well, that may not be true, because I kept switching in between her being butt-ass-naked and her just being this jacked like bodybuilder because it's just a hilarious. Especially with that fucking little gun that she has in the beginning,
Starting point is 00:17:36 it looks like a fucking toy because she's so goddamn big. And Leon is Shrek, of course. Of course. Yeah, I haven't touched it yet because I'm still working through Returnal. And now a new destiny season started out of nowhere and now I'm fucking locked on that.
Starting point is 00:17:52 But eventually, I'll get around to it. But Sweeney beat it apparently. I didn't even realize. I didn't know you finished it. Mm-hmm. I love that game. I love it. I hate the last hour of the game.
Starting point is 00:18:07 I hate it. Interesting. Hate the last hour of the game. Loved it entirely, though. It was really fun. It feels a lot like Resident Evil 4 in the sense of the inventory. And like you purchase weapons. Success starts with your drive.

Starting point is 00:18:56 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?
Starting point is 00:19:31 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. You can make ammo.
Starting point is 00:19:55 The tone is like for. The village aesthetic is nice. it feels similar but I mostly prefer like it also feels like seven to get a cross between those two well because it's first person right yeah
Starting point is 00:20:09 that was the thing but some of the story points it just feels because seven did a lot of really good points where it was like seven was back to basics it was just like
Starting point is 00:20:18 weird horror shit which is like very let's just do what we always do and try to scare the shit out of you yeah and it didn't really scare me but it was like it was this good
Starting point is 00:20:27 no there's one part that scared the fuck out of me I'm not going to spoil it, but there's one part where you're in a house, and it scared this shit out of me. I saw it, and my mood dropped. In seven? In seven? Was that a part that scared me in seven? Wait, what are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:20:41 Wait, I thought you were talking about seven. I thought you were talking about seven. Well, seven didn't really scare me very much. Because it's this jump scares that, like, scare me in most of the games. But in eight, there's one part, like, one section of eight that scared the shit out of me. Right. And I was just like, oh, whoa, I didn't. expect that. I don't know, man. I tried to get into seven like a million times and I just, I couldn't shake
Starting point is 00:21:05 the feeling that it just felt like every other horror game. I think the first person angle for Resident Evil, I don't think I'm like a huge fan of in general as like a premise. I think it makes it just sort of feel like, oh, here's, it feels like amnesia again or like PT or Outlast, where it's just like, hey, here's this first person horror game and it's like, it's, you know, it's gross and scary and all that. and it's all about tension and you can't move super fast because it's first person and you know i i i get it but it didn't feel like resident evil to me and it felt like a bit too serious like like resident evil seven just felt like it was taking itself very seriously i feel like it's the opposite this one looks ridiculous i feel like resident evil seven was the opposite of taking itself
Starting point is 00:21:47 serious are you i really compared to like four where you got like a little fucking napoleon boy fucking. Well, in four, because four was like the least serious, and I don't adore a Resident Evil 4. I like it because it's Leon Kennedy. That's the only reason why I like that game. Leon is my favorite
Starting point is 00:22:06 Resident Evil character. So I'm like, wherever Leon goes, I will follow with no problem. So what's your favorite? What's your favorite? Oh, two remake. Two remake, easily. Okay. Well, that's, okay, let's pretend that doesn't, that didn't exist. Okay, other than before that? Before that. Five, I would say. Five? Yeah, I love five.
Starting point is 00:22:22 Look, man, I look at five. I will say five is underrated. Five is, five is silly. It's silly. It's a lot of fucking wild shit happening, but that makes it fun. It's a really fun experience to play. To me, the weird thing about Resident Evil to me is that I've never cared about the survival horror aspect of it. It was about like having fun, shooting zombies and solving puzzles and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:22:49 If the puzzles were just not ridiculous, you know, sometimes. it's just like all right now I'm just wasting time but it I so Resnilify was I think it did it pretty well where there was barely any puzzles a few things you had to do to collect some shit whatever but I just had a I had a blast shooting so many people there there was just there was so many people to kill the Africans more than like say black skin people so many Africans I fucking would I would savor it I would get the fucking taser or whatever yet the taser stick and you just tase the fucking That thing, I never used, do.
Starting point is 00:23:24 Okay, so I played Resident Evil 5 again, probably like 2018 or something. I never used the taser. Because, like, why would I want to use that? I want to use the gun. I always want to use gun. And I would never run out of ammo. So what's the point? I never realized how amazing it was. It was a great weapon. You fucking stun the shit of people and then you uppercut them fucking slant. I was just like,
Starting point is 00:23:40 this is OP and you never run out. It's actually, if anybody has never done that before, go back and use that shit for the vast majority of the game. It's pretty fucking aground. I love it, dude. I love, I love, particularly I like, there's two, there's five, that's my favorite, then I would say maybe four. Damn. What is your, what is your beef with four?
Starting point is 00:24:07 I just don't like four is the way, four looks, four looks disgusting. What? Well, are you insane? I've never liked the way, it looks gross. What do you? It's just so void of color. I just don't, and I don't like that. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:24:20 That's insane. Four is just. better five. Four is just better than five. Four is very different from five. Yeah, and it's better. Four is a good balance between all, like, everything. There's, there's, arguably,
Starting point is 00:24:34 sometimes there's too many people to kill. Yeah. Dude, four is just two and five, like, thrown together, just straight up. It's like a perfect balance of those two tones of like, hey, here's like some, here's like classic Resident Evil kind of
Starting point is 00:24:48 like scary shit, but it's also like fucking ridiculous. But it's not your punching a boulder off into a fucking volcano I liked it I liked that I thought that was funny I don't know man I never I never really liked for that much but that's just me I played four when it came out
Starting point is 00:25:04 I played it for on a wee I played on like the game cube like I played it like six times I just don't like four that much I played four for the first time two years ago straight up and I think it held I think it holds up way better than five I think it held up way way
Starting point is 00:25:20 way better than I anticipated it would It's a good game. I just don't like it that much. That's how I know it's a good game is that I have no nostalgia for it. I played it like 15 years after it came out and I was like, this is great. It's like Tetris.
Starting point is 00:25:33 It's like, of course, this is good still. That's interesting. But I don't, I mean, I've seen, like, I was obviously, like, I had friends who had it and, like, I would go over their house and watch them play, but I never actually, like, played it, like, front to back or anything until super recently. And I don't know, man, like, I just,
Starting point is 00:25:49 seven just I wouldn't call seven bad seven's good it's just not at all what I care to get from Resident Evil I feel like all of them are kind of jokey comedy
Starting point is 00:26:03 because I feel like one and two definitely have comedy at all Seven it's seven's kind of fucking janky wild comedic bullshit only that guy that's busting through the walls and shit it is I played that game from front to back all the content shit it's pretty fucking ridiculous
Starting point is 00:26:19 Jack? What's his name? That's like, that's the dad. He's the fucking, yeah, he's the punchline. Like everything he says and everything he does. He's just fucking around. And then he doesn't die for whatever fucking reason, even though like, he shot him up in their head.
Starting point is 00:26:32 He clearly should be fucking dead. You're like, okay, this is, these mutations or whatever, getting ridiculous like that you can escape death somehow with your head being like Swiss chees, okay. I mean, but that's the point of all the games, though, because in every game, it's like, like there's always that, That's the thing about Resident Evil. Like it's always been kind of like just what the fuck.
Starting point is 00:26:53 Because I've played, I think I've played almost all of them. I played all of the numerical ones. I've played, I didn't finish six. I didn't finish, I think Jack's part, Westers son. I don't think anybody finished six. There's just four parts to it. I never started six. Dude, I didn't finish six.
Starting point is 00:27:09 Don't sleep on Leon's fucking part. Leon's part goes bananas, bro. It's really fun. Yeah. Because it shows how good of a fucking killer he becomes. I'm not as, I'm not as. I'm not in love with Resident Evil as a franchise enough to bother with six.
Starting point is 00:27:22 Like I like two remake a lot. I like four. Five is fun. But I never touched Code Veronica or fucking... I paid Code Veronica. I paid zero. I played both discs of zero. I get it.
Starting point is 00:27:38 And I think that's my problem with seven, though, because there's so many characters already that I was just like, oh, Ethan. I was like, I don't... Like, at this late in the stage, I kind of don't care about it. It's the beef that I have with the new Mortal Kombat film where it was just like, this late in the stage,
Starting point is 00:27:54 you have a massive roster of people and they're like, let's create a new person. And I'm like, I can't be fucked with that shit. And I was like, why is he related to Scorpion? I can't be fucked with that. I didn't even bother with that movie. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the fights in it.
Starting point is 00:28:10 The fights were actually pretty well choreographed. The fights were okay, but here's the problem, man.

Starting point is 00:28:51 Hey, how's it going today? It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan and Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I saw Billboard of years recently. It said 20 billion one. 20 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
Starting point is 00:29:25 Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. That's pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7, 365. Wow. Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's Large Injury Law, thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit forethepeople.com for an office near you. When you have things like, like say these Indonesians are killing it in the martial arts flicks. I recommended a lot of people to watch the night comes for us on Netflix. I hope it's still on there. It's one of the best action martial arts flicks bar none other than say like the raid redemption, the raid two, like those guys phenomenal. There's such a high bar
Starting point is 00:30:10 that they could take advantage of, especially since those people Indonesia have. have, they're not worth a lot of money, unfortunately. You know, fortunately for us, you can pay them a very small salary, and they will work their asses off like they do fucking over there for way less money. And they just kind of like, whatever, Western shit, I don't care. Like, they don't give a fuck. So they can do so much better. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:30:36 Like the martial art, it's not bad. It's not bad. The choreography is, it's pretty good, but it's not, they put more effort into the Matrix fucking a million years ago, for example. six months of training The costume design is really nice too Like like a lot of like Sub Zero look fucking great Like there's a lot of good things about it
Starting point is 00:30:53 Like for instance the The guy that played Sub Zero He's like he was in he worked with the raid group From I think he's one of the brothers Yeah no like the he's great And he didn't get the type of shine That he's basically watch him do other shit And then see what's going on to here
Starting point is 00:31:10 It's like damn dog You didn't get enough screen time That's true But they were trying to do too much I like the movie because I just, I like, I like the violence aspect. I don't like Mortal Kombat games. I've never been good at them. But I like the violence that comes from Mortal Kombat.
Starting point is 00:31:25 And I feel like I got enough of that from the movie. I didn't like the fact that it was Cole very much. But the thing is that I know that guy, the guy that plays Cole, he's a great fighter because he's from Into the Badlands. The show I watched me and maybe like seven other people on this planet. No, that was a great show. It sucks that. It fucking only had like three seasons or something. I was like, oh, this guy's really good.
Starting point is 00:31:43 I think he should have played, what you call it. I really think he should have been Kuan Chi or Ken Shi in the New Marvel ones, or Shang Chi. I think he should have been Shang Chi because he's a really good fighter. Oh, this guy, I could definitely play Shang Chi. Cole's actor is an insanely good martial artist. Yeah. Well, it's just, it's one of those things. Utilize him.
Starting point is 00:32:02 It's one of those things were the studio. They were in control of what was happening. And you saw that Ed Boone was not involved with what was happening. So I automatically knew that. I was like, oh, I'm not going to enjoy this. I'm not going to enjoy this because he's not overseeing things And they're gonna go with well That's why they did the
Starting point is 00:32:19 They always do that thing Let's create a new character For people to connect with Or you know watching the Transformers flicks Where you just want to watch Giant fucking Alien Metal Things just shoot each other to death And they're like let's throw in
Starting point is 00:32:31 What's that fucking idiot Here's Shial LaBoff Yeah let's throw in Shia LaBuff I'm like no one No one It's just it's baffling It's like that Monster Hunter movie where they kind of like threw in the American military
Starting point is 00:32:46 just because they needed something that was like vaguely relatable to your average person and they picked the American military. Look, I would make fun of Shailabuff. I would make fun of Shailabuff. But Shailabov was like really talented at rapping. So I don't want to make fun of him. But he's also, but he also, he bites though. He never does his own shit though.
Starting point is 00:33:05 No, he don't. I heard him freestyle. Yeah. And that was a bite. That was a whole bite? Yeah. Absolutely. I can't believe that was a whole bite.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Yeah. I'd never heard of it. I feel like I would have heard of that. The one he got exposed. He got exposed. He got to, everything he watched. He's,
Starting point is 00:33:21 he's been exposed multiple times. You should check it out. Go look it up. No way. He fucking, he's, he's been exposed. Dude, look at,
Starting point is 00:33:27 Charlotte Buff is very talented. I actually like him as an actor. Um, I just think that it doesn't matter who the fuck. It could have been anybody. It could have been Daniel Day Lewis in fucking Transformers. And I'd be like, get him the fuck out of here.
Starting point is 00:33:40 I don't care about what. Yeah, he doesn't belong there. in this fucking movie. It's crazy. Yeah. I don't know, man. There's just all these video game adaptations
Starting point is 00:33:50 or it's just like even just like the uncharted thing with Tom Holland where Tom Holland's playing like young Nathan Drake and he was like, did you see that interview he gave where he was like,
Starting point is 00:34:00 oh yeah, the way I played that character I don't think I would do that again. I think I made a mistake. Like he just made, like this is just him talking to like some company or like some some interview. house and he's just like, yeah, uh, it was kind of hard to like look like a glistening badass, uh,
Starting point is 00:34:18 all the time. And I was like, that's not even the right direction for the character you're playing. Who Nathan? Yeah, Nathan is kind of a glistening badass. No, he's not. Nathan's a corky, dude. He's quirky. Dude, Nathan is quirky, but he's also like a mass murderer. No, no, no, but listen, Nathan Drake is Nathan Philean, essentially. Like, yeah, literally. He's cool, he's cool, but he's never like, he never does like the pose where like the sun strikes him and he just looks like a super bad. He just does things and he's charismatic and things work out and he's kind of a dork. That's, and a killer. A killer.
Starting point is 00:34:59 That's not what we're talking about. We're talking about just the nature of just like him standing there looking like a, like there shouldn't be like a shot of just Nathan Drake doing this, you know? Like he's like, like he's fucking Spider-Man. I mean that's true, but the covers of the games are him doing that. No, it's only one. It's only one. It's only one. It's only one.
Starting point is 00:35:21 A thief's end. A thief's end is the only one where he looks like anything. He looks fucking dope. But he's also on some like a car and other ones like about to fall off something and holding like on. Like he's always doing kind of badass. It's like, but it's like oh no, here we go again. Okay. It's like that type of thing.
Starting point is 00:35:40 It's like the fucking second. games starts off with him hanging from a fucking train or some shit. It's like, whoa, here we get. It's not like... It's literally the cover of the second game too. It's him like dangling for his life. That's the one I remember the most. That's the one I remember the most. Right. That situation
Starting point is 00:35:56 was insane. I was like, what the fuck is going on here? That was a great... Like, I don't really care for Uncharted that much. Like, as a series, I think it's fine. I think it's good. It's like Tomb Raider. It's like, okay, this is like fun and good. But like that's second game is like genuinely really
Starting point is 00:36:14 really great. Particularly the beginning. The beginning of the second game is just bananas. I was like, what the hell? The whole way through man, until the end. Like the ending is where you're fighting like Yeties in like Eldorado. And they were just people. They were people. They were just dudes in fucking
Starting point is 00:36:30 costumes. I was like yeah. And they took like every bullet you had to kill him. I remember sitting there being like, yo, I thought my game was glitched. And I think to this day it might still be. No, I think they fixed that in the remaster, dude. I think they made things a little bit more balanced.
Starting point is 00:36:47 I think so. That's crazy. I hope so, because that was like a big deal. I think there was some problems that they had, and then they're like, oh, let's rework this. But I never played the remastered ones. The Yeties were insane, bro. And they'd run up to you and they'd hit you yards. You'd be like, bro, what the fuck is this, man?
Starting point is 00:37:05 Or the part in three. Or the part in three, you're in a plane that's crashing. I was so upset that whole game. because I was like, bro, I'm in a plane. That was the only thing I remember from three. Three was okay. I just remember like escaping something with Sully or something, a car or some shit. I don't remember.
Starting point is 00:37:24 There was like a driving scene. I remember something. And then the lighting was fucking great, though. I just remember it was all like, I remember it was because I think they were showcasing it in, in E3 at one point. That might be four. You might be thinking of four. Am I thinking of four?
Starting point is 00:37:38 Yeah, in four, there's a sequence where you're driving through, like a favela kind of and like you're right you're right you're getting like dragged and like you're you're on like a rope dangling off a bridge at one point and you're like trying to dodge like pillars and shit yeah it it has to be that that was four i think i'm just getting all mixed up uncharted i mean in fairness they all they all they all look pretty similar as a franchise i was always like uncharted is just so ridiculous because like i would play the game and i'd be like because how'd i didn't play much tombulator i didn't play much tombator so i wasn't What did you say?
Starting point is 00:38:13 I didn't play much Tomb Raider. Okay. I didn't play much. You know, I was like, I played one, two, and three when I was like a kid. And I was like,
Starting point is 00:38:19 ah, okay, this girl has fucking pointy boobs. That's all I really paid attention to. They were still nice. And then I got to Uncharted One. And there was this moment I tried to one where like you're in like a tomb and a wall collapses
Starting point is 00:38:34 and he just puts his hand out and grab something. I'm like, how did you do that? What did you just know? Like, and I'm trying to one, you were pretty much you were in a cryptophobob.
Starting point is 00:38:42 I'm not mistaken, and up, like, the crypt wall just falls away. And then Nathan just somehow grabs onto something else. I was like, you're falling. Your arm would have broke. Your arm would have just came out of place. What? Like, he just knew where to grab all the time. Like, he just always just knew.
Starting point is 00:39:01 That's just an action trope in general. Like, someone's falling and then they just, it's like, it's in Spider-Man one as well. Like, when Mary Jane falls, like, 40 stories and then she lands on the, on the, what is it, the subway car? Or, like, the car full of children? And then like... Oh yeah, and her arms don't fucking dislocate and shit. And then like for me, the one that really threw me off was that in three, the beginning of three, you fight an army, like a genuine shit up army where you have like turrets and you're just mowing down legions of people. And I'm like, bro, what though?
Starting point is 00:39:33 Nathan Drake has an impressive killout. Yeah. Nathan Drake is a mass murder. It's kind of insane. Because it was, he killed a lot of people in all of them. But in three it was different. It was just a different scale of like, yo, he is sawing through people. And then him and so he had like a quirky comedy.
Starting point is 00:39:51 He's like, wow, man, that was kind of tough. And I was like, Nathan, you're a warmongering piece of shit. Just for some fucking, just for a golden statue, you killed all these people. They had families. Nathan Drake is like a 2010 sitcom comedy, but he's killed thousands. And like nobody, like nobody addresses. he just walks in and everybody has like witty dialogue with him and he's like, where are you going?
Starting point is 00:40:15 Oh, I'm going to fucking El Dorado or some fucking mystical land and I'm going to kill thousands of natives and paramilitary personnel. He's like a conquistador. Just for a rock. Just for a fucking stone.
Starting point is 00:40:30 And killing a bunch of people. So is Laura Croft too in fairness. Like Laura Croft is doing the same thing. At least in the remake and the first one, like she was shipwrecked and then on the island and that she had to survive
Starting point is 00:40:47 so at least the killing there was kind of justified and then after that it was just like oh god dude yeah the third one she's like she white woman's her way into the revolving it's like I have to help these people because they need me to and then she causes the problem
Starting point is 00:41:01 that gets so many people killed and I'm like damn bitch the third the third new Tomb Raider game was so close to being like one of my favorite games of all time it was it was so close and then they just walked back
Starting point is 00:41:14 they walked back a choice that they made and I was so fucking infuriated by it I remember it was one of the first Sacred Symbols videos that I did like one of the first episodes of the podcast that we did with that I did with Colin where like that was the game that was out and I was talking about it and I was just like I can't believe they fucked this up
Starting point is 00:41:29 and I still think it's a good game but like it was really close to being like on a list I watched it I watched my friend play most of it and I was just like oh this game is like cool it's really good up until the point where it gets great and then I haven't played it there's a point where like a little girl's gonna get
Starting point is 00:41:48 sacrificed and then Laura's like no don't get sacrifice that's unjust and then you find out that like it was a really severe blessing and like a cultural thing that whole game was just Laura just saying what she thought was right and just completely interfering with these people's way of life and I was like
Starting point is 00:42:05 whoa you suck Laura Croft you're the worst what the hell I don't Wait, isn't the game called... Oh, oh wait, it's like... It's not called Tomb Raider colon some shit. No, no, no, it's like Rise. Rise and then...
Starting point is 00:42:23 What's the other one, though? What's the last one called? Oh, Shadow. I can't remember if Rise or Shadow is the third one, but like... No, Rise is definitely the second one. I have that one. Yeah, Shadow is the one that I played then. Okay.
Starting point is 00:42:33 That was really close to being great. But, oh, well, there are other video games. A lot more coming out soon. Obviously, Mass Effect is out. This Friday. I'm looking forward to it I've never finished the original Mass Effect So I'm gonna just being in that whole game
Starting point is 00:42:47 I can't wait I do finally I'm finally uh gonna come back out of retirement And just stream on YouTube Because I haven't I haven't gotten over to the Twitch thing I don't know man I just I can't bring myself to do it
Starting point is 00:43:02 But it also at this point I don't think it would be better for me anyway Yeah you're gonna get your people over on YouTube Mike, one thing I wondered is that on YouTube, can you play music while you stream? What? You could play music any... You can't do it on Twitch.
Starting point is 00:43:18 You'll go to jail. You can't pay like an artist's music on Twitch. You'll go to jail. Oh, yeah, they're getting kind of dumb about that. Twitch, it depends on the song. Not me, sorry, YouTube, it depends on the song. If it's something really, really popular, they might have somebody, whoever their distributor is,
Starting point is 00:43:33 they might do something where it'll shut your stream down. But that's very rare. It's usually what happens is, You play something that's copyrighted and just when you're done, it just, like, oh, we're sharing the revenue or it shit's blocked or whatever. But a lot of times it doesn't matter because the vods, a lot of people don't even watch them after you're done anyway. So it's not the end of the world. But I just play stuff that's fucking, not even royalty-free. I just play old fucking video game music that nobody's claiming.
Starting point is 00:44:01 That's what I was. I play fucking, last few streams I did. I just keep playing Giles theme, like 10-hour stream or whatever. 10-hour, you know, I just like put that on because, Nobody claims that. No one claims any OSTs from like all these old games. So I'm like, I just play old music.
Starting point is 00:44:16 I just use video game music pretty much entirely. I want to play. I want to go through like music. I like so bad. That's all I ever want to do. Like I would love to have a stream where I could just play like one of my like several playlists. I'd be like,
Starting point is 00:44:28 oh, this is such good music. And I would have good conversations based on the music. I used to. I used to do that on Twitch when that wasn't a thing. A couple years ago. It was fun. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:38 But, oh well. Yeah, YouTube, I just thought about it. Meek Canyon, he would, he plays shit all the time. Yeah, probably he does. So you can definitely. I don't want to risk it, though. Jonathan Young's music is also safe to stream. Yeah, it is.
Starting point is 00:44:54 Yeah. I tested that out, and it is. It is indeed safe. Shut out, Jonathan Young. So I just, go ahead. No, wait, what were you going to say? I was going to say, can you imagine it just starts copyrighting all of his shit right now? That's just out of nowhere.
Starting point is 00:45:08 It's a massive dick move. I'd be like, hey, dude, why'd you do that, man? So, there is this story that I feel like we should touch on, because it's kind of interesting. And it's this situation involving a dating app that is, I guess, exclusive to celebrities. It's called Raya. Yeah. Is that right? So this is a celebrity dating app.
Starting point is 00:45:33 I think you need to meet certain qualifications to even get approved for an account on there. You have to be, like, famous. or have obviously enough connections to famous people to get you on. I assume famous people's friends are on there as well. Yeah, yeah. There was this situation that kind of trended earlier this week. I think maybe last week at this point. I'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:45:56 I'm not super sure what day is. Something. Yeah. But Matthew Perry, Chandler, from fucking Friends. That's his name, right? Is that the person he played on Friends? Yeah, that was Chandler, yeah. he
Starting point is 00:46:10 man what a weird story so this girl who is like how old is this this girl like 20 something 19 oh 19
Starting point is 00:46:19 so this 19 year old girl matched with Matthew Perry on Ryan Matthew Perry is obviously about 110 at this point basically in Hollywood years
Starting point is 00:46:31 for sure yeah like what is he like 50 something 60 I don't think he's in his 50s apparently from what I heard right right right
Starting point is 00:46:38 So obviously this was a big deal, but Derek, you know a little bit more about this than I do. Yeah, so I saw a couple of people mentioning this, and so I looked into it a little bit where, yeah, Matthew Perry in his 50s. I didn't look up as exact age, but I'm assuming it's early 50s. And they match. And so what this girl does, she goes on TikTok, of course, because that's where everybody fucking goes for everything now, even for serious issues. she tries to shame him by saying I matched with him for a joke and then he immediately wanted a FaceTime
Starting point is 00:47:19 like say after I don't know few messages so she agrees to FaceTime with the dude and then she's just kind of showing like him to talk you know she's filming him from the side being like kind of being kind of a dick and he's just being a gentleman though And so basically she was trying to out him as like, oh, look at this fucking creep. Now, there's quite a few people that are like, oh, that is a little weird.
Starting point is 00:47:45 But it kind of backfired on her because it's like, Success starts with your drive. An American Public University is here to fuel it.

Starting point is 00:48:30 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 billion is an insane number. Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think somewhere north,
Starting point is 00:48:47 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.
Starting point is 00:49:04 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 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 bitch why did you why did you even match with him though like she said for a joke and i'm like all right dude well if you're matching for him for a joke to play with his emotions you're kind of you're kind of an asshole like there's there's no scenario where she comes out of this looking like she's like a hero or the way that she tried to
Starting point is 00:49:39 You know how a lot of people film stuff and then they posted themselves and like you realize this is only going to make you look bad. Yeah. Yeah. People are stupid. Fuck, yeah, they are. And it brought up the conversation, though, about Matthew Perry and in that situation where it's like, because I think almost everybody can agree that it's kind of creepy. But at the same time, should we care about that? Because I mean, it's strange.
Starting point is 00:50:05 It's strange liking younger women at a certain, at a certain, like. For me, my lowest, lowest, lowest 23 for me now. Like, as I get older, the more I get older than I'm like, you got to be a certain aid before I can even talk to somebody, you know? Like, my lowest possible age is 23. Because I feel like that's a generational gap that's not too huge, you know? Like, we could probably still have seen a lot of the same things and talk about a lot of the same stuff.
Starting point is 00:50:29 But, like, my girlfriend's going to be 25 now. And sometimes I feel like she's too young because of the fact that how she, how her brain works towards trends in mind doesn't. what do you mean how old are you I'm 27 now you're so that's so stupid it is now that's just for me
Starting point is 00:50:46 that is my personal preference I don't like I don't like much younger girls no I that's not what I'm saying your preference two years is it's very arbitrary I guess it's very arbitrary it's like one of those things where
Starting point is 00:50:58 I get that it's like peculiar that's mine but that's just how I feel I don't like girls much younger than me like by even like three, four years is like my max, like, range. I'm like, you're a little too young for my personal preference. Right.
Starting point is 00:51:18 Yeah. That's it. I don't really, I feel like it's a little bit too, because it's one of those things where I feel like individuality really counts where there's people that are, say, I was pretty open, like, say I once went out of date with the girl that was a lot older than me. I think she was like, this was maybe a few, three years ago. and she was like mid-30s or something.
Starting point is 00:51:42 That's for the culture. You got to go older girls for the culture. That's just how it works. And it's for the culture. And the thing is, though, that particular, that particular person, like, we definitely didn't have much in common, but I don't think it had to do with her age. She just wasn't into the same shit. But I know, like, say, one of my favorite podcasts I listen to, like, the wife, she, there's
Starting point is 00:52:04 so much that, like, it's weird. Listener, talk about a lot of the same. stuff, the same music and the same type of stuff in comedy and sense of humor, I'm like, oh, even though she's fucking like 42 or whatever, she's in her fucking early 40s, I'm like, I, we have like, like, so not like anything would ever happen. I'm just saying that you, you could be able to have, you would be able to like have real conversations at, or at least like relate to each other in a, in a way that you, uh, because there are people that are my age that I can't relate to, you know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:34 Um, it's like completely different. Women. This is insightful. Oh my God Continue, please continue You're ridiculous It's just It's just one of those things Were kind of like with everything else With like high and ethnicity and stuff
Starting point is 00:52:46 I don't like to I don't like to discount that I don't like to just be like This is my preference Here's my small little fucking window Here's my small little box And then all of a sudden you miss out on Probably some really genuine connections or whatever
Starting point is 00:53:00 Non-sexual preference too Wow And race Well I'm just say Yeah Yeah, you know, you miss out on some really cool dudes and you're like, oh, damn, that guy's fucking awesome. You know, but seriously, it's one of those things where it's like... It's actually...
Starting point is 00:53:15 No, it's honestly just like have... It's just like friends, you know? Like, uh, Sweeney, like, Mick is so much older than us, you know? Yeah, Mick is, but he's still cool as shit. But that's what I'm saying. It's like... Yeah, that's true. Like, he just fits perfectly in.
Starting point is 00:53:27 Like, there's nothing like... Like, you don't even think of him as being, like, particularly out of place, even though... He's, like, 63? Yeah. I think he's, like 39, right? 39? He's in his 40s. That's nuts
Starting point is 00:53:38 Yeah, and he's just like super chill and really cool And he just gets along with everybody Because they're just having to be into the same stuff I like I get it like Look I think personally it's a little weird Because he's like 51 Sure He matched with the 19 year old
Starting point is 00:53:52 I think that's a little weird Purely because like At the very The bare minimum to me Is like look Once you're an adult You're an adult You're free to do whatever the fuck you want
Starting point is 00:54:03 But like even so I think at the very least Don't double your age, man Well, no, not even that All I'm saying, like, no, hold on, just the basic thing to me is just like The first number In the age has to at least be a two Like, at the very least
Starting point is 00:54:22 Like, I feel like not Because it's a 19, like it's technically a teenager still You know, so it's still It's not like illegal or wrong necessarily It's just weird to me That you would match with somebody that young on purpose there's no there's no like
Starting point is 00:54:39 technically there's nothing wrong with it but you can't get around the fact that it's creepy yeah yeah you can't get around it whereas one of those things I wouldn't cancel I wouldn't like cancel Matthew Perry for it or anything but shame him for it though
Starting point is 00:54:54 because here's the reality because we're talking about connections and all this stuff let's be real about this scenario Matthew Perry just wants to bang some 19 year old pussy like that's what this scenario was a 19 year old pussy was very recently not like it was very recently in his life like the person he was
Starting point is 00:55:12 the person he is right now could potentially be the same person he was like 20 years ago but she wasn't around 20 years ago that's why it's strange that's strange to me nobody's thinking about it in that way though that's fucking that's weird to think of it now the way you're thinking about that's not weird that's not strange that's not obscene no that's that like oh you
Starting point is 00:55:35 weren't around when I was a kid. What the fuck does that even mean? No, no, no, no, no. He wasn't around when he was a fucking full-grown adult. When he was, when he was, even still, look, it's strange to me. Look at, I understand. This is what I'm, I'm saying, this is like me devil's advocating for Matthew Perry because I'm sure this is what he's thinking. Young girls are hot. I want to fuck a young girl. Like, that's basically, he's thinking like, oh, let's see, I could match with a girl in her 40s that probably has a ton of. a baggage if she's single.

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.
Starting point is 00:56:48 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 that said $20 billion. $20 billion is an insane number. Yeah, $20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and batter and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan?
Starting point is 00:57:18 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.
Starting point is 00:57:31 From Morgan and Morgan, America's Large Injury Lawfram, thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit for the people.com for an office near you. because think about it let's be real he has a ton of baggage for being in his 50s and single he's been through relationships
Starting point is 00:57:45 he's been through who knows what the fuck is but he probably has kids I don't know anything about him but he probably has a lot of fucking baggage that 19 year old is a dumb TikToker and he just wants to bang like I'm assuming that's all it is yeah I mean
Starting point is 00:57:59 it makes sense that that's how like what he would be thinking yeah that's yeah I still just think I think it wouldn't that's the thing it's like It wouldn't have been creepy to me, though, if she was, like, 22. It just would have been like, all right, well.
Starting point is 00:58:14 He's just, nah, I don't know. Like, you're an adult, you're an adult. Like, a 22-year-old woman is going to be hot for, like, to everybody. It's not much of a difference, right? Yeah, an attractive, 22-year-old is going to be attractive to you regardless. Like, because that's just what an attractive person looks like. Attractive 25-year-old, too, as well. It's just, like, at a certain point, you're just attractive.
Starting point is 00:58:35 You're right, though. That 25 is the year for me, whereas, like, Like nothing matters anymore. When you're 25, you're 25, you know, like you're, you've been an adult for a while. You've lived. You've lived your live. You've done what you've done. I'm not talking about dating, by the way.
Starting point is 00:58:49 I'm literally talking about, yeah, no, no. I'm talking about, but that's just like my thing. Well, you were talking about 25. At like, it's just like you've been, because you've been, you've been yourself, you know, like 25, you're starting to develop into the person that you are really. Usually outside of your house, usually like you're doing your own things. And you're figuring out the world you're encountering like things that, like, adults genuinely encounter.
Starting point is 00:59:10 So for me, 25 feels like that's the age where like it all really goes out the window. If a 25 year old is dating a fucking 85 year old man, like that's peculiar. But she's a 25 year old woman. She knows. Yeah, yeah. I understand that. And especially if we want to get like science involved, people will talk about the, you know, the front of the cortex, the frontal cortex. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:34 That not being developed into your mid-20s. So there is an argument for that, but then that would mean a lot of things should be shifted if that's the way that like say we should be thinking. I agree with that. I agree with that. It should be shifted. Well, the thing is it would make the world very fucking, very different and probably much more. And I think this is the problem, like say one thing that I've seen about like say Europeans like where they have younger drinking age, younger consent, all this bullshit. it, they don't seem as stupid as us because they're experiencing things at a younger age and it doesn't
Starting point is 01:00:10 fucking matter. Like say the way that say high schoolers drink over here because it's all taboo and cool and like smoking and shit, they're like, it doesn't matter because it's just there. Yeah, they're over it earlier, I think. Yeah, it's just there. So it's not like a, ooh, let's go party and drink and get fucked. You know, like, yeah, they'll do that. But the people that continue to do that or like the alcoholics and everybody else is like,
Starting point is 01:00:34 Yeah, yeah, we've been there When I went to London We went to, we went out drinking And it was nuts Because I was 16 and I could drink And that shit was bananas People were getting fucked up Like people like
Starting point is 01:00:45 That were definitely younger than me in there We're getting fucking blitz Like a 14 year old kid with a kid face Like he still has a very soft And non-weathered face Was in a pub with me And I was just like He's too young to be here
Starting point is 01:00:59 Because I'm too young to be here And he was just Sloppy really drunk. I was just like, this is fucking, these guys are cool. No wonder they weren't pretty much every war they were in,
Starting point is 01:01:10 you know? I mean, and maybe, look, maybe, maybe, maybe, uh, what I'm saying to
Starting point is 01:01:14 could be, uh, wrong. It's just the vibe that I get from a lot of, like, over there where you just don't hear about the same type of shit. Like, the way that we're handling stuff and,
Starting point is 01:01:24 um, like say, hey, you can't drink to your 21 and everyone's like, I don't give a fuck. I'm gonna fucking get fucked up and all the stuff. By the time I was 21, I was pretty done.
Starting point is 01:01:34 with getting drunk. Well over it. Yeah. And it's one of those things that there's some people that I know that were that adhered to that. They didn't want to fuck up, whatever. And they went ham in their 20s. It was fucking weird. It's like, Chris and Jalen, you two were like, they're like, I don't really want to drink.
Starting point is 01:01:53 I don't really want to drink. And when you guys started drinking all the fucking time. And I was like, whoa, okay. Yeah, well, that was because the people that I knew who were drinking were young and annoying. And we couldn't do anything. Like if we were getting if we're getting drunk I had to go to some fucking house party and then like someone was gonna throw up because everybody's a fucking kid I'm not gonna I'm not gonna drink around around around people who were drunk I just did I didn't want it When you're an adult and you can like leave and you can do like everything of your own volition
Starting point is 01:02:22 Then it's a lot more attractive to be like all right yeah you know what maybe maybe I will maybe I will partake because no one Is going to be as reckless like even as as insane as the parties that I went to when like when I first got out here was. Like, as drunk as me in jail never got, it was never as insane as some of the shit that I had seen when I was like 15. I remember, I remember, yo, I remember some kid at some party that I was invited to and I didn't go. He, like, fell in a lake and half drowned. And he, like, he woke up in, like, the hospital, like a week later. I don't know if this is true necessarily that he woke up and I'm sure he like passed in and out but like he was all fucked up like he was all fucked up when he got back it took him like months to recover because he was an idiot
Starting point is 01:03:12 kid who didn't understand hey drinking and swimming isn't a good idea when you're 20 something you kind of understand because you've at least driven a car for a while or like you've you I don't know you've lived on your own or like you understand base responsibilities in a way that like a 15 year old just doesn't that's what I like about drinking personally was like just the fun of it it's like the shit that happens at park I I I I'll every now also also so well well well I should also say that like it just like it's just not a good idea for younger people to be drinking in general for yeah for developmental reasons that's that's the main reason I didn't want to do it's like I already I already got all sorts of mental
Starting point is 01:03:51 illnesses I don't need I don't need to kill any more mental I need to kill any more my brain cells before I have the max amount but for me I think it helped me get used to like because now I don't drink and I'm like I don't really want to drink. I did this already. You know, like that, I've already, I've already done all those wild things. I've already like, don't do this guys, but I've already been driven home drunk by one of my fucking homies who's drunk at shit. And we're all like blasting like fucking where the hood at while we're driving home drunk.
Starting point is 01:04:20 Like we've done, I've done all of the possible like wild party things, like that stuff like that. And I understand that like for me, that mellowed me out as I got older. Now I'm just like, I just want to chill. I don't need alcohol. You wouldn't recommend it to anybody, but like for me it helped me out. But that's, that I think has like weirdly tainted your relationship with alcohol to the point where it's like it's only a means to a ridiculous party. Oh, not really. I just don't like it much.
Starting point is 01:04:48 Because I don't like it. I don't like how it tastes very much anymore. Like I've already experienced it. It's like to seem to me with weed. Like I've already smoked and hit gravity bongs and fucking done dabs. Like I've done all of that already. So like there's nothing else for me. That's like saying, like, you've experienced video games, you know?
Starting point is 01:05:07 Well, not exactly. Or, like, I've experienced cinema. Oh, I've experienced chicken. Video games are very different. Look, look, like, there's negative side effects to drugs and alcohol. There's negative side effects to literally everything we do. I mean, not necessarily. Yeah, literally.
Starting point is 01:05:24 Just playing the sun. Literally going out in the sun has negative consequences. That's not what we're talking about, because you're talking about activities like, say, video games. That ones that you mentioned. Right, right. Specifically. Like, just playing a video game, there is no negative side effect to just playing the game. Well, no.
Starting point is 01:05:40 But once you ingest alcohol, it fucks up your liver. It impairs you just by doing the thing. That's the difference. Or even for me, as much as it turns out, it's like, I've just, I've had, I've been drunk. I've not been drunk. And I've realized that I have more fun when I'm just not drunk.

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 billboarded years recently that said 20 billion one. 20 million is an insane number. Yeah, 20 billion recovered.

Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. That's pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7, 365. Wow. Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's Large Injury Law Firm, thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit forethepeople.com for an office near you. That's it. When I was younger, I was doing that shit because I was fucking upset at shit. And I was like, I'm just not going to have a good time.
Starting point is 01:07:33 I was doing it because people were doing. It was more or less like peer pressure thing, particularly for me, when I started drinking and smoking. I was like, oh, everybody does this. I want to at least experience. I want everybody's having so much fun.
Starting point is 01:07:42 And now I'm just like, well, I did that already. Like, I'll still hang out and I'll still chill people, but like I'm not going to be the person getting drunk or drinking particularly. Because it's like,
Starting point is 01:07:49 I'm fine. Like, I don't need that to just have a good time or be at a party. Like, I'll just be at a party and be myself and that'll be more than enough fun for me. Except you leave parties constantly.
Starting point is 01:08:01 I don't leave parties constantly. Dude, When there are people over here, dude, you walk, you stay in your room and then you come out and then you talk to everybody for like 15 minutes and then you leave again. No, when everyone, everyone's over, I'm just out there. Unfortunately, especially when everybody's over at my house, I'm like, I can't leave. I want to leave. I want to leave all the time. But I just don't.
Starting point is 01:08:19 You're just like a, you're a 60 year old already. I'm not 60 year. I just, I've done it, guys. I've already married. Yeah, we've been over this. That's true. You're a married man in his 50s. I'm not married.
Starting point is 01:08:31 I'm not married. I've just. done it. I've been, I've been to all the place you guys are going to go and I'm like, oh, that's really cool. Awesome. You know, I just don't, I don't do the party stuff anymore. I'm too old for that now. At least me, I get what you're saying, man. I get what you're saying. And the thing about, especially the thing about alcohol, I, I would have zero problem having a few drinks every now and then, like actually I did last weekend. The thing is, though, I had, I think, three beers and I woke up feeling fucking awful.
Starting point is 01:09:06 I was really upset because I had to work. I had to do a lot of stuff and I had to just sleep it off and I was so fucking mad because I'm like, dude, I wasn't even drunk. You gotta get, having three beers and like in five hours or whatever the fuck. Pediolite, man. You're getting older, dude. That's why, man. No, no, man.
Starting point is 01:09:23 This is like, I didn't like getting drunk either because hangovers were so terrible. And then like, oh, PD, you find out that PDLite exists. And it just... Well, hydrating, yeah. It just literally, not even just hydrating, but just pediolite by itself literally just takes away one of the biggest barriers of being drunk in the first place. And it's like, oh, this is amazing. If you just drink water the whole time while you're getting drunk and you're actually pissing out the alcohol, you're going to be peeing a lot all night. But it definitely, it definitely helps.
Starting point is 01:09:52 But like, the pediolite and why it helps, you know, it replenishes like the electrolytes that you're pissing out like crazy. Right. Yeah. And it's amazing. Like, I remember, like, one of the best. One of the best, like, I remember I woke up once after, I had like an insane, like an insane amount to drink. It was at a VidCon. I remember I had like Jaeger bombs and like fucking the whole day I was drinking.
Starting point is 01:10:14 But I had like a whole thing of Pediolite before I went to bed. I woke up feeling like literally better than I probably ever had upon waking up. It was like insane. I was like, wow, I had a great night. I had a great day. And now I'm fine. And I feel great. Like that feeling of that immediate succession between like I just had a ridiculously raucous night and I'm fine now is like one of the best feelings ever.
Starting point is 01:10:39 It's gratifying. It's like why don't I keep doing this? It's like a cheat. It's like you discovered a cheat code almost. It's like, oh shit, we just cheesed this boss because we all popped the super at the same time. It wasn't meant for this. It wasn't meant to withstand this fucking electrolyte beam. I don't know what you go.
Starting point is 01:10:56 When it's social situations when it's like very social, like, oh, there's a once in a lifetime thing. I'll do it. Like we're not going to do it very often. I'll have a drink or two maybe, you know? Like the big cons that we invited you to three times in a row and then they stopped happening? Other things happened and I didn't go, right? And I understand that. I get it.
Starting point is 01:11:13 But like if like there's a party going on like a going away party or if they're like a big celebration for like a holiday, I'll drink a little bit, you know, maybe. Or I might even get drunk. The thing is that I haven't been drunk like really on my ass drunken so long that I'm scared because I remember when I was young and I'd get drunk, I would get rowdy. I would get very wild. I thought you were going to say something else. What? It's like if there was an R in there, you're like, when I get drunk, I get drunk. Oh my God, chill.
Starting point is 01:11:37 I get very like, I get like very worked up and wild. And I don't want to get like that. I'm too old for that shit. I'm too old to like get drunk. Like, yo, I'm going to rob this guy. Like, I don't need that. Because then I'm just to go to jail for real time. Yeah, you definitely shouldn't be causing a ruckus outside.
Starting point is 01:11:54 Oh, man. You know, that's annoying regardless of how old you are. I'll get tased. oh man anyway I don't know the whole Matthew Perry thing is like I don't know it's
Starting point is 01:12:10 to close things out I would just say there's look there's nothing wrong with meeting fellow adults but have some I would say at the very least this is bare minimum stuff guys
Starting point is 01:12:26 this is bare minimum stuff if you're in your 50 or your 40s, at least 20 and up. At the very, at the, all I have to ask of you. 21 and up, at least. Well, my, I would, I would personally say like 23 and up. That's me personally.
Starting point is 01:12:43 But just that, such a simple rule. Like, you're fucking, you're 51, you know. Yeah, and your 50s, 25 year old, that makes sense. I bet he's going to do it now. I bet now he's like, yeah, let me, let me bump it up just a little bit. Can you change his whole flow after that? He's going to be a whole different kind of person. He's going to be like machine John Kelly with all the pop music.
Starting point is 01:13:06 What if he's like resentful and he like goes to high schools now or some shit? You got to calm down. You got to calm down with that. You just change. I want my hair to rest like this. I want my hair to rest down like this. Nobody wants that swing. I want it.
Starting point is 01:13:20 I want it. Oh my God. On the questions. What's up guys? Since we were talking about Mortal Kombat earlier, somebody wrote in Merck's 1889 actually wrote in. Mertz. he's a big supporter of your friends here on Twitch he wrote in about
Starting point is 01:13:38 not video game movie adaptations in the sense that like oh Mortal Kombat was like a movie based on a video game but like I think he's talking about movies that are made into video games he says what up boys one of my dream goals is to start a studio that actually makes good video game movie adaptations video game movie adaptations what does that mean that means make a movie off of video game
Starting point is 01:13:59 studio is the thing that kind of trip me up because studio I attribute to fucking video games for some reason. What video game would you love to see a movie adaptation of for me? The top choices would be Doom. We've already got that twice, Merck. We've got like, yeah, a thousand of them. Because it'd just be two to three hours of straight carnage. Two to three hours of straight carnage sounds awful in movie form.
Starting point is 01:14:17 Too much. Because it's exhausting. They actually, like, actually, when I think about it, wasn't there like a... Hardcore Harry. Huh? Hardcore Harry or Hardcore Henry? Hardcore Henry. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:28 Hardcore Henry was just that. And it was like, I remember watching it in. thought like this is cool but I would never watch this again because I got sick while watching it. That's what I'm saying like I have no problem with the action. That first person shit was fucking gnarly. It was shaking way too goddamn much. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:42 It was a cool movie. Like it was cool that people did that but like I don't know if it. I don't know if it worked as well. I don't know if it worked super well. But I'll be real man. I don't want to see video game movies. I don't think I've always felt like and we talked about, we talk about this. Colin and I talk about this on Sacred Symbol sometimes when the situation.
Starting point is 01:15:01 arises, but I just I feel like video games have like a weird insecurity problem where they're like they need cinema to kind of validate their medium for whatever reason. It's like it's not good enough that you have genre defining classics that are dwarfing the sales of like every movie that exists. It doesn't matter that video games destroy cinema as far as like profitability and like money's raised. It it that, that none of that matters. They they need like, the respectability or they feel like they want the respectability that cinema has.
Starting point is 01:15:37 It's the same reason why you have a video game awards in the first place and why it tries to be the Oscars kind of but it can't be you know? It's like why why do you want a Last of Us movie when you have the Last of Us
Starting point is 01:15:53 which is like already like one of the most cinematic games that exists and it's probably a story that benefits. Like imagine New Vegas or or Biocococ in a movie. Like you can't. Skyrim can't be a movie.
Starting point is 01:16:08 It would be like a really boring, unremarkable thing. Pick a storyline that would really... I feel like if anything movies are better as shows, video games are better as shows. I agree, yeah. If anything, they're better as shows.
Starting point is 01:16:22 Like, I think Castlevania excelled in showing that this show can be done episodically. This game can be done episodically very well. You also... Me and Chris talked about this on a actually covered like literally like I think last night but we spoke about how um video games that are adapted to other things they need a change you can't do the exact same thing
Starting point is 01:16:41 but you have to still stay true to the source content which a lot of people end up messing up because unfortunately in in Hollywood and people that place that make movies they're not exactly fans of what they're making movies of that's why so often adaptations are fucked like Mortal Combat if somebody played Mortal Kombat if someone played Mortal Kombat if someone playing Mortal Kombat that made that movie. They would know, oh, the characters have to be in this movie are Jacks, Lukaang,
Starting point is 01:17:09 Kunlau, Scorpion. Like, it would have had, like, a certain group, and of course, Johnny Cage. The main character, the big hero, is Luke Kang. You know, that would have been a focus that they had her because they know they played the games, you know? The people that did Witcher, you can tell they played Witcher.

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 billboarded
Starting point is 01:18:14 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 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.
Starting point is 01:18:40 That's pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7, 365. Wow. Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's Large Injury Lawfirm, thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me.
Starting point is 01:18:53 Visit furtherpeople.com for an office near you. They know what your story's about. The people that made Castlevania. You can tell they played in a note. what the story's about. And they change things slightly to make it like, oh, this is going to be fun as a visual medium to show people something a little different.
Starting point is 01:19:09 But often people just don't. Like Batman and a one example. The people that made that movie, they are not fans of the characters. If they were, they would have been able to easily make a movie about them. Well, look, see, that's also another issue where even when there are sometimes people
Starting point is 01:19:26 that are involved that are heavily invested in stuff like, uh, Zach Snyder was like, oh, when he said, I'm taking influence from the Dark Night Returns, and everyone was like, oh, sold. But you have producers that are saying, you know, Manus Steel, in our opinion, was a fucking mess. So slow everything down, make everything. They basically had a vision and then fucked his vision in the ass to where it was just like, now nobody likes it.
Starting point is 01:19:56 Like, it's for nobody now. Yeah, yeah. It just got pulled into all these different garbage directions. And then the other thing about video games or whatever, at least you can attempt with comics or books to make a movie because it's now you're taking what was your own visualization, your own interpretation or whatever of like either just frames or just words and then it's like let's make a film out of it.
Starting point is 01:20:18 And he said the video games, that shit already exists, it's there. It's mapped out for you. So now it's kind of like, this is never going to be better. The cinema is never going to be better in the video game. Because the video game, it's already there. It exists. Yeah. And also just like a good story in a video game is made better by the fact that you have agency
Starting point is 01:20:37 over it and you can make choices. Like Red Dead Red Dead Redemption 2 is amazing. It is just one of the best stories I think I've ever seen in like any medium period. But it is made better by the fact that it is you going through those narrative beats. Like the fact that you choose to do things at certain points and you choose to have certain interactions with certain characters and you're going through the world and you're kind of having these like little like vignettes of like discover it like that dude who gets kicked by the horse and dies. Like that shit blew my mind. Or just even if you just choose the story that even just like the stories that come up that are completely non-narrative. Like let's say you just go to a pub in Red Dead and you get drunk and then like you stumble out and then you bump into somebody and then that pisses them all.
Starting point is 01:21:26 off and then they're fighting you and then like you fight them and then you kill them and then like suddenly like the laws after you and then you got to run into some swamp like that's that's a story that that's not written that's not like dialogue that or like a script that somebody wrote that just happened because the game is good and you can't really capture that in a movie you could take all of red dead story and even map it out into like a series and it'd probably be very good but I don't think it would be as good as the game already is and that's kind of the problem with a lot of these things it's like first of all Sweeney's right
Starting point is 01:22:02 the only thing that these things can really translate to is television or like a TV show because your average game is like six hours 10 hours 15 hours you're not even the shortest game at like five hours four hours it's going to be hard to condense that into into like a cohesive or coherent like one hour 30 or two hour movie
Starting point is 01:22:23 Like it's just not It's not gonna work as well Yeah But even then men Mishenumas kind of showed us that Like back when they were putting series When they were putting these web series out And I was like well why aren't they
Starting point is 01:22:35 Do this And it's weird that they did that with Mortal Kombat And it's like Let's make a two hour movie Or it's like you see You already see what should have been done There's the examples already out there The fan reception was great
Starting point is 01:22:51 I remember that That's one like Right before for Markcom at 5 came out and everybody was like oh this is going to be the new thing i was like this is really cool they did it from what they did from mortal combat and street fighter yeah they did a street fighter they did a couple seasons of street fighter and uh it was just really strange that we already had these examples and the same thing like you saw with um uh with Deadpool where they did like the things right where it's like here's a movie where it's like we're going to take this basic ass story but we're just
Starting point is 01:23:16 going to do what the fans want and it was pretty fucking successful and you think that just at least take that example. If we're going to make a movie, let's just do what the fans want and you're going to make an assload of money. Because Deadpool made a lot of fucking money. It broke a lot of records for being an R-rated film. I don't like Deadpool's character at all. I hate that character, but I love that movie. I love the Deadpool movie. It's just a good fucking time. I like the Deadpool movie less as time goes on, but at the time it was super refreshing to see a movie like that. Like there's, I remember at the time it was so boring
Starting point is 01:23:57 to just go to the movies superhero movie after superhero movie and just kind of get the same shit over and over again. And then that movie came out and it was insane. But yeah man, I don't know. That's, that would be my take. I would just say like, look, if you're going to do this at all, don't do a movie, do a show. And if you're going to do a show... Take everything to Netflix. What?
Starting point is 01:24:19 Everything on Netflix. Take everything on Netflix. That is basically short- answer. Yeah, just straight up. And it'll do good. It'll do good and you'll get your money. You'll be like, damn, I don't know why everyone's not doing this. And Netflix would be like, thank God, we are hemorrhaging.
Starting point is 01:24:34 They just became profitable last year after, what is it, however long they've been a business. But they became very profitable last year. I hear these fucking, I hear these fucking this shit. Honestly, I always feel like they're fucking lying, dude. Probably. Like when I hear these things, because I hear it about like a lot of companies like, oh, this, they barely. became profitable and I hear their numbers and I'm like where's this money going? It's going to production. It's going to produce. They borrow a lot of money because
Starting point is 01:25:01 how I think it works is because Netflix is so popular and so many people pay for it and they have data that shows that they're like, you know, they're doing really well and people keep buying Netflix. They're allowed to borrow a lot of money because they can prove that they're worth a lot. But they don't actually have that money. It's all debt money. It's like going on money, how much money is passing through their hands? It's just all, right. It's just all borrowed money and like also just all the money that they make goes back into like making stuff as well.
Starting point is 01:25:34 So, but they were borrowing a lot of it too. So they recently just got to the point where they were like in the green like in the last like year. They're very in a green though. It's very, very, very. I mean, it's going to happen quick with any company that's making that much money. But same thing with Microsoft, by the way. Like GamePass doesn't make money technically. Not yet.
Starting point is 01:25:51 But eventually. after it reaches a certain point of subscribers where you got like, let's say you get like 50 million people spending you know, $15 dollars. $5, $15 a month. That's a lot of fucking money. But, yeah, it's weird.
Starting point is 01:26:09 I don't even, I'm not even going to pretend to know about that. I don't even know if what I said is accurate, but probably is. That's how I... That sounds about right. Yeah, that's why I interpret the information that's been given to me. Next question from the spider that crawls in your mouth while you
Starting point is 01:26:23 sleep. He writes and he says, Hello, you pathetic troglodytes. I've sent in questions for the past three months and still nothing fucking bite me. Now listen to me, sir. And this is something that I kind of, like, he has more to this question, but I want to get into this immediately. You got, you guys,
Starting point is 01:26:40 you gotta, you gotta ask better questions. I'm seeing a lot of like, who's gonna win? A bear versus a spider. And it's like, a bear, I guess. Like, we love you, but like, Dude, my brain is sometimes I sit there sweating, looking at like, looking at documents.
Starting point is 01:27:01 Dude, sometimes I sit there sweating, like trying to find a question that isn't insane. And congratulations, Spider-The Crawls in your mouth, because this week he got one in. My question is for Derek. He says, since you were very much a fan of modding games like Skyrim, have you ever watched any videos of MXR mods? I have no idea what MXR mods are I think so I think that sounds very familiar MXR because I think I
Starting point is 01:27:29 I remember seeing that that tag I think I remember seeing that tag on like on YouTube videos so let me look that up real quick MXR mods seems to be a YouTube channel but it's just yeah yeah okay
Starting point is 01:27:46 oh my God it's very it's very scantily clad shit Oh, nice. Nice. And I specifically have used some MXR mods. Yeah, so absolutely. Yeah. That's crazy.
Starting point is 01:28:01 Skyrim particular, probably Mass Effect, but I know Skyrim for sure. Mass erect, more like. Mass erect, absolutely. That's damn. Man, I can't wait, dude. I'm fucking, I'm going to fucking play this new
Starting point is 01:28:20 legendary edition at fucking 80K fucking just just make your fucking computer explode I'm just gonna look as soon as it boots up it's gonna melt I can't wait I'm not gonna play it on PC I'm not should I play it on PC or should I play it on console? I would play it on PC what the fuck I have game pass and don't you get it on free on game pass? Why would it oh wow no yeah you might actually because it's oh yes it's Microsoft is it EA?
Starting point is 01:28:46 yes sir I mean not the first one but Maybe it is now. No, no, but EA, they own Mass Effect, right? Well, yeah, so I guess it is, you know, because I don't know how contracts work. So, as far as I understand it, let me check on it because I have EA. Game Pass.

Starting point is 01:29:40 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 yours recently. that said 20 billion one.
Starting point is 01:29:56 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.
Starting point is 01:30:10 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.
Starting point is 01:30:25 Wow. Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's Large Injury Law, from thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit 4thepieble.com for an office near you. GamePass, for GamePass Ultimate has EA play in it. And EA play gives you access to every EA game.
Starting point is 01:30:42 So if you have that version of Game Pass, then you already, yeah, you could get, you could play it on a... No check if Mass Effect is on you. At least I'm pretty sure that's how it works. I'm not sure. I'm going to get it on a... I'm gonna get it on PC just because it's like here.
Starting point is 01:30:56 No nice. You get on PCC and mod. The legendary addition is going to require what you call. Legendary question requires the pro, but I have pro already, so. Yes, not bad. You should get on PC and mod it though, bitch.
Starting point is 01:31:07 Like, come on, we're literally talking about mods in this question. Yeah, but he shouldn't mod it. He's never played it before. Oh, yeah, good point. I don't do, I don't usually mod video games.
Starting point is 01:31:17 I've never been a mod person, truth be told. The other game ever really modded was like Smash Bros. It's a project M. Smash Bros. Braun to Project Cam. That's like the wrong... I'm not a modder either really.
Starting point is 01:31:28 I just play video against what they are. Like, I modded Skyrim and I could kill kids and shit. But other than that, like, that's awesome. Like, that's it. But that's, but it's... I don't know, man. To me, it's just the fun of shit ever. It's like playing Resident Evil.
Starting point is 01:31:41 Like, I can't wait to just... I want to find the dumbest shit to mod and I can't wait. I'm not going to fucking play until then to where I'm like, okay. Yeah. It's set. It's set. We're good. ready to go. We got fucking, like, literally that vampire is just giant tits and that's it.
Starting point is 01:31:59 She's literally just a bosom. Just a plasm. Just walking around or whatever. Could you imagine? She turns into bats or whatever. It's just a bunch of little tits or whatever or something. There are really cool mods, but I've never been one. Usually I like to just play a game for what it is and like try and figure out what it is that they were trying to do and like, you know, and then I'll finish it and I'll be like, that was cool. When I finish it, then sometimes I'll mod it. It has to be a pretty good game for me to even bother with it. Like Skyrim was one that like when I finish, I was like, all right, I'm going to mod this.
Starting point is 01:32:29 Because I'd beat it. I'd seen everything that the vanilla game was going to be. I'd seen all the other shit. I wanted to kill kids. You know, let me... I wanted to kill kids. Yes, absolutely. You know, but I think for the most part, I think your first play-through of any video game should be modeless, generally speaking, as like a...
Starting point is 01:32:48 That's just my... That's how I go about it, but... I agree. I agree. Well, the only thing that I don't, if I'm not that invested in the game, then I don't give a shit. Oh, yeah, yeah. If the game's not, if you don't like what you're playing, then like, fuck it, why not? Just like, just go to town on it. But, you know, I wouldn't have, like, I'm trying to think of, like, a good example. Like, a great video game. Like, I don't think I would have modded. Like, oh, do it before. Red Dead. I wouldn't mod Red Dead. Yeah, like, I wouldn't have modded Red Dead.
Starting point is 01:33:20 on my first playthrough, you know? Like, maybe on my... If I decided to play again and I wanted to play as like Thomas the Tank Engine and just some fucking bullshit did you see the Lady Demetrescu
Starting point is 01:33:34 or Lady Dimitresc Thomas the Tank Engine mod? Yes, I saw that one. Just the thick Thomas the Tank Engine is fucking horrifying. I saw that one. But, yeah, I don't know. Mods are fun.
Starting point is 01:33:45 People don't have to leave video games alone, man. Sometimes. Nah, it's great, man. It's well. look at like Resident Evil 8 I'm well 7 and 8 I wasn't I didn't I played 7 for the first time last year
Starting point is 01:33:57 I just wasn't that invested so I threw mods on immediately yeah and and same with 8 where it seems really cool and but also like you were talking about the very beginning the whole first person aspect and where it's just like it's just all it is
Starting point is 01:34:13 is just anxiety inducing pretty much and putting you in awkward situations to feel like that panicky where I'm like I liked it. I liked, say, for example, what Mr. X did because it did give you anxiety, but I could move, I can see, it just, I just like,
Starting point is 01:34:29 I felt like, it felt fair. It felt fair. Or like this shit where it's just like, I'm in the smallest corridor, man. It's not, wait, what did you say? It never scared, like, I've just not. It's not scary. It's just the anxiety from anticipation,
Starting point is 01:34:45 because you know some dumb shit's going to come and get you. And then you usually, in a small corridor where you can't move very well and you can't see that well. Sweeney is barely human. The way you speak sometimes, the way you speak sometimes it's like bare minimum humanity. Because like what?
Starting point is 01:35:00 Like that's like, uh, it's not, you're missing the point. I don't like to have fun with my friends. I don't, I think alcohol is dumb as a premise. I like, it's just all this like, you're just like a pod person. I'm not a pod person. I'm just, I just, I just, what you call like. It's not scary. It's anxiety inducing.
Starting point is 01:35:15 I understand. I get that. I get, it's like it's supposed to be anxiety inducing. For me, that's just like, oh, because it's like, I know what's about to happen. Why do you play Resident Evil if it doesn't... I have Resident Evil because I like shooting zombies in the face. I like seeing them get scared when I'm about to put the law. But there's not even zombies anymore, man.
Starting point is 01:35:31 Put the law against their face. They're just creatures now. But Resident Evil, just the damage output and like the feedback from the weapons isn't even satisfying. I like killing things. But it's not... I like killing these particularly in video games. I understand that. Don't even kill that much.
Starting point is 01:35:49 That's such a weird. You kill a lot, dog. They gave you like three bullets and then they're like, all right, go ahead. And seven you don't really kill that much. You kill, you kill like the family. A little bit. Eight is more. Eight, you kill a lot of motherfuckers, dog.
Starting point is 01:36:02 Like, there's a point where you catch at least an easy 110 bodies in like 10 minutes, dog. And it's like, bro. Damn, these people. I think it's weird to play Resident Evil. for the, for the combat. I think that's weird. I don't pay for,
Starting point is 01:36:23 like the cartooniness, like just the ridiculous of it. Like, because I don't, it's what I played, Dead Space scared me. That game scared me. Dead Space too,
Starting point is 01:36:33 scared me a little bit. I was like, oh, I'm a little scared. Fear scared me a little bit. But then at that moment, I'm just like, after that,
Starting point is 01:36:39 I'm like, even movies don't scare me at all anymore. Like, I got to a point why I would just watch horror movies and I'd be like, damn, dude, this is boring. What is a,
Starting point is 01:36:47 like, What movie? Insidious. It's my favorite horror movie. I love that movie. I like it because of how funny it is. Not because it's frightening at all. Like there's nothing that frightening is going to happen in that movie to me. There's a moment where the guy's like sewing, but he's listening to like fucking tiptoe by the window and he's like headbang into it. And I'm like that's fucking hilarious. You shouldn't head bang to that music. I just like that. I just like that. There's a spectrum. I won't say if you're on it or not. I just don't get scared for movies. Because every situation that's going to be scary, you can see it's going to be scary. I understand that. And it doesn't as them bother me. Movies is very different.
Starting point is 01:37:29 Or even movies or even video games. Like, this is obviously something could have happened right now. You walk into a room, the lights are flickering. There's red blood all the floors. Like, oh, well, here we go. I just don't even know why you would even bother playing those games if that's not any, if you don't get anything out of that. Because I enjoy the experience.
Starting point is 01:37:44 Because that's typically why I don't play horror games either. because they don't usually scare me so I don't play them because what does the game's not gonna give it's not Titanfall I'm not gonna be like oh the controls are so good or like oh what a gorgeous map
Starting point is 01:38:00 it's just it's all going to be like I'm just gonna be walking through an environment not feeling anything and what's the point of like what's the point of even bothering with that I enjoy the experience overall that's what it is but what's the experience if you're not what's the experience of a horror game
Starting point is 01:38:15 if you're not afraid the what you call the the the gunplay the the world's design how things show up to me like it's all of that's the experience it's not only just horror for me because i'm i can't get scared by those games anymore do you feel anything when you're on a roller coaster do you feel nothing oh yes roller coasters because roller coasters are direct me i'm sitting in a in a in a cart that could fall off this thing you know but so i feel that but are you afraid when you go on a roller coaster not so much afraid more or less exhilarated right because it's exciting even though you know you're going to be okay and nothing bad is going to happen to you.
Starting point is 01:38:47 I'm excited. I'm not really scared about it. Like, I'm excited about what I'm going through. It's like, I'm excited to play this game and see what's going to happen. And experience is going to happen. I don't get, like, I'm not, like, anxious. I'm just like, oh, this is going to be, I can't see what's going to happen. Yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:39:01 I just, I guess I just don't understand it. But it's, I think, I don't know, maybe, because, maybe that's why you, you know, these aren't your favorite games or something. But maybe if I kind of understand doing it for the, experience of like, oh, I just want to see what this game's about and I want to experience the story and all that shit. Maybe I get that. But as far as it, because I feel the same way, I don't, these don't freak me out. However, I get anxiety from those games because, and I thought about it, it's because I hate dying in games, especially of games that I'm not super
Starting point is 01:39:36 invested in. Like, Dark Souls, you're going to fucking die. Well, it doesn't matter. So it's just kind of like, I'm really invested in this game that I don't get anxiety from that shit. But these games where I just kind of want to breeze through it and I know I'm going to get my ass kicked at some point because shit just pops about to nowhere and you're unprepared and then you kind of need to be prepared like the second time over or whatever traps and shit like that. But that's usually where I'm like, fuck,
Starting point is 01:40:00 I know I'm not prepared because they're literally doing shit on purpose to like make you unprepared. It's not like just minions showing up to fight you and you're like, oh, I got this. But for me in the sea that happens in present evil, this one I died three times the whole game. I didn't die very much at all. Because I just, because I, like, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:40:18 Like, I feel like when I play most video games, I like, oh, it's a, like, every video game to me is a puzzle, pretty much. There's a puzzle on how I'm going to win this. And when I play Resident Evil, I'm like, all right, cool. I can just see how it's going to lead to what and what's going to lead to where and how I'm going to get out of the situation, you know? Like, I died. Like, the first time I died in the game, I was, like, entering the third chapter.

Starting point is 01:42:12 I was just like, oh, I died at the, toward the very, the start of the very end of the game is when I died. Because something happened that didn't make sense. Someone started vomiting acid. And I was like, oh, I didn't know that was going to happen. And I died. It caught me off guard.
Starting point is 01:42:25 But other than that, like, enemies don't kill me. I don't get trapped because I know how to keep moving around. I don't get, like, I don't get killed by, like, random things. I don't ever, like, stop moving. Like, it's just because I've played all these games before. I'm not going to get surprised by how this game plays or what it feels. And why play it if it's not going to surprise it? Because I still enjoy the situation.
Starting point is 01:42:44 I don't play things for surprises, you know? Like, if I read comic books, you know, every comic I read, I'm not going to really get surprised. I just want to see how each person is going to go through the experience. I'm going to experience how this person goes through it, opposed to how that person goes to it, because it's just a different experience. I remember the first Bioshock scared me when I was a kid, because I remember that there was the scene at the beginning of the game that's like really, first of all, that game is fucking Massifer. masterful with this fucking environment with just the atmosphere of it is fucking amazing
Starting point is 01:43:17 but I remember the beginning of that game you're in an elevator and you're like descending and you just see these two silhouettes like when you get to the bottom and it's just like this guy begging not to be killed and then this fucking freak mutant person and he just eviscerates him and then like
Starting point is 01:43:33 the sound is all like really perfect and like the tone and just the way the camera set up and then the thing hops on the elevator and starts breaking in you feel like, oh shit, this thing's going to get in here and kill me. And I shut it off and I played it, I think, three years later when I got the, when I got the, when I realized what a video game was. And I was like, I've never had that experience.
Starting point is 01:43:54 I've ever had experience with like, I remember like, and after that, after that though, like I could play pretty much any horror game. But it was to the point where like, I didn't like them. So I actively kind of like had to get myself into a headspace where like, okay, I'm going to play this horror game. And I'm, I'm actively going to. going to try to get as immersed in this as possible to the point where I forget that I'm playing a game and I'm actually there so that I could feel fear because otherwise there's no fucking point in playing
Starting point is 01:44:24 this. There's like I see no value in a horror game if it's not going to do anything to me. I had to just let myself. It's almost like kind of like letting yourself, um, it's almost like the people who like, I hate Marvel movies. They're, they're not cinema. And it's like, yeah, uh, doesn't. It doesn't have to be though. It can still be pretty enjoyable. If you kind of like let loose a little bit, you might have fun with fucking Guardians of the Galaxy or something. And if you can get yourself to do that, then you might fight something valuable. And it's the same thing for me with horror games where I was just like, all right, I'm not seeing value in this because I'm not afraid. Let me try and, like, not force myself to be afraid, but I guess that's kind of what I try to do. open myself up to that like anxiety because otherwise I don't I don't really see a point man that's pretty genius man it's pretty genius for me I just don't I don't I can't I can't let myself like I can't let myself be entirely immersed I think you can I just don't think you
Starting point is 01:45:20 want to no I I have I feel like I've done it before and it's for me it's like I'm playing this this is cool I really like what's going on I'll play this game until I'm done with it but for me it's like if I let myself get immersed I'd be like I can't because I wouldn't react like this I wouldn't do this I wouldn't be here like it's like it's It's, that for me is where I like, I'm like, oh, right, I can't do that. Because if I, that's because you, that's because you think, I feel like, I do this too, especially now that we, we play a lot of competitive stuff. Where, like, you kind of think of every video game as a video game. And so you're kind of playing it as if, okay, I got a, oh, there's a lot of ammo in this room.
Starting point is 01:45:55 Obviously, there's a boss in the next. Yeah, I do do that. I literally, I was like, oh, there's a lot of boss coming up. So I had ammo here. But that's how I work. I work as a kit. Like, what is my kid? What can I do?
Starting point is 01:46:08 That is... That is fair, but I found that it's made my enjoyment of a lot of video games kind of worse. Yeah, definitely. Because I'm always thinking about, like, the meta of it, as opposed to just being like, okay, you know what, I'm going to sit and I'm going to play Shadow the Colossus, and I'm not going to think about anything other than, like, I'm here, I'm this character going through this shit. And those games, like, and a lot of other games, too. extends are a lot more enjoyable when you're not thinking about it as like a combat or like an arena or like a
Starting point is 01:46:46 some competitive thing. I have a competitive mentality when it comes to games first, but I do. I can't experience it. That's why I love, like one of my favorite games is divinity. I think that game's a flawless game. Divinity too, things were the best RPG ever played in my life. And like for me when I play that game, I'm immersed in every character's moments. I'm like, oh, that's a really cool moment, you know.
Starting point is 01:47:06 But because the dialogue, because like I'm playing the game to beat my opponents. But then the dialogue pulls me out of that like, oh, now after you did all this bullshit, this person is weeping because he lost his daughter. Oh, this person is like really sad, you know? But at moments, I do get too like, all right, now I got to somehow figure out of, oh, this week as I got to somehow attack that up. He's out of this and I do that. That happens pretty often.
Starting point is 01:47:30 You know, your analysis of this, it makes me wonder how much you could actually enjoy the Mass Effect trilogy. Oh, I love it. I'll probably still like it because it's a good RPG. I mean, it's a good RPG. Like, you'll enjoy because the actions, like, the backseat of it. I'm fine with that.
Starting point is 01:47:47 And it's like, well, I'm also wondering because how you kind of, how you were examining shit and how, like, how you're explaining a lot of stuff where I'm like, hmm, is it going to, like, sink in? Like, you said, like, divinity or whatever, but I don't know, man. Because I like culture.
Starting point is 01:48:03 I love culture. That's true I love Gator I love I like I like D&D literally We'll see man I mean we'll see how you I'm curious yeah I'll absorb it yeah
Starting point is 01:48:15 Well uh we'll if I hate it next time I'd be like damn I hate this fucking game That'd be hilarious I'm like guys In fairness the first one might be The first one might be rough I don't know man They said they updated it so who knows
Starting point is 01:48:29 The stuff the fixes that made it They fixed the things that really made it jarring the fucking make the mako and then the fucking the the ui like the hud or whatever it's like it's it's they reworked it and i was like oh let's fucking go i'm excited i'm excited to jump into it um hopefully i can i got a i got to get further in returnal and then breeze my way through resin evil eight before i pray to play to play fucking mess mess effect uh let's move on to this antifus maximus basher of fash rodin this is a question about animation Greetings, ethnic Oreo.
Starting point is 01:49:06 In animation, do you prefer 2D or 3D? Personally, I think a show like Castlevania wouldn't be half as good if they had attempted to do it in 3D. Stay funny, stay frosty. I agree with that entirely. I think it obviously depends because Spider-Verse is pretty amazing. And that's 3D with kind of like 2D flourishes and kind of inspirations. but I think generally speaking 3D just kind of looks off to me yeah
Starting point is 01:49:36 depends if it's like if it's like Pixar 3D is good like Pixar 3D I'm down with that because that's good 3D well because yeah everything looks fucking goofy anyway yeah the way that they draw shit it just looks fucking goofy so you don't it's like whatever yeah exactly it kind of works to the to their benefit but like a story like Castlevania would have been terrible if it was animated like like Shrek or something like that
Starting point is 01:49:59 you laugh but like Like, Shrek is actually, like, really well animated. Like, it's... I mean, it's pretty well animated. I'll give you that. Yeah, like, it's not fucking... It's not food fight or fucking, uh... Or Killer Bean, you know?
Starting point is 01:50:15 Killer Bean is hilarious, dude. I know, it's something. Is Killer Bean well... Is it technically well animated? No, it's just mo-capped. Okay, there you go. It's just motion capture, so, like, people think it's well animated. Okay, and I was like, this is... Because I feel like it looks good.
Starting point is 01:50:30 Like, that's... He really is putting a bean on those guys. Yeah. Whoa, that bean really looks like it's wearing a mocap suit. This fucking animation must be great. This bean really looks like he's wearing a motion capture suit. That's hilarious. I noticed these things in video games, and it really bothers me.
Starting point is 01:50:44 I wish I didn't, but, like, I can't... Every time I play a video game and there's bad motion capture, I see it, like, instantaneously. Like, it's just... I was playing Borderlands 3 with Jalen a couple, like a week or two ago. And Lilith, like, when you... you walk up to Lilith and she talks to you, she does all these like, hey,
Starting point is 01:51:06 Vault Hunter, nice to see you, glad you made it. And like, everybody's like weirdly animated for no reason. And they're moving their hands just because they can and because they know it's going to be easy for the animators to do because it's just a direct recording of the person's like fucking motion.
Starting point is 01:51:21 And it comes across as like, it looks like killer bean. Like it looks like, it looks like red versus blue. You know? Ocap is, uh, it's a,
Starting point is 01:51:32 has this place. It's good. It's great. Like, fucking dude, God of War Four. Just look at, no. They nailed it. And there are other, I think last of us nailed it as well. I think what you call it, Star Wars, the last episode of Clone War what is Darth Maher versus freaking Asoka. I love that motion capture. That's, that's, yeah, that's because they, they use motion capture as a baseline. You know, they use it as like, hey, let's use motion capture just to get the general kind of, the general movement of this choreography down. But we're
Starting point is 01:52:02 going to still animate over it, so it looks like it belongs in this cartoonish, like, kind of like over-the-top universe. And a lot of studios don't take that extra step. They just go, we're going to take the motion capture data exactly, and we're just going to put it in the animation because it would be the most realistic, right? It's a direct rip of the animation. But the problem is, is that people recognize how people move. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:52:28 And if you see a fucking Pixar character moving like a real-ass. man, it's going to be off-putting. Imagine Woody ran like a regular person. Half of my love for Toy Story is how Woody runs. Oh yeah, with his dangly fucking... It's like Ed and Nettie shit.
Starting point is 01:52:45 Dangling. It's like an Ed and Nettie run cycle. Imagine if Woody ran like a fucking like Usain Bolt, like real efficiently. I'd be like, what the fuck is this? He runs like the Gears of War guys run with it, like they're hunched down. I hated that, dude.
Starting point is 01:53:01 Because I would try to do that and I'd fall all the time. I do that. I try to fucking run with my legs bent and barreling forward. It looks disgusting. It's a fucking ridiculous run.
Starting point is 01:53:13 But, yeah, I don't know. I think 2D generally looks better. It's a lot harder to pull off, too. It's a lot more expensive because the talent required to do it is so, you know, it's not easy.
Starting point is 01:53:25 I have tremendous respect for 2D animators. Shout out Samuel Deeds. Bro. For that animation for Castlevania, bro. Shout out to the Korean sweatshops, baby. Shut out.
Starting point is 01:53:38 We need more of them, dog. I miss that shit. Shout out to Zach and Mick and all those guys, too. Yes. Fucking Bloodson Vandetta, dude. Such a good job. Mick, if you hear this, you rock. I can't wait to be a voice idea someday.
Starting point is 01:53:52 It's going to happen. It's going to happen. It's going to be fucking me. Yeah, we got a... What is this? guy named Gray, Rodin, he says, greetings what Chattacus
Starting point is 01:54:08 Blacksimus visually impaired sex goblin and broken watch that's only right once a day. Oh my God. Is that me? Yeah. Fuck you, bitch. I'll fuck your mom. I am a first time patron. I've almost,
Starting point is 01:54:23 and I've almost completed my first playthrough of God of War 2018, and I'm having a great time. Excellent. But some of the games mechanics can be frustrating. I particularly dislike the close-up camera and leveling system. Yeah, they didn't really do the...
Starting point is 01:54:36 The leveling? The menu system in general was kind of like not good in that game. I remember. Yeah, it was. Even the RPG mechanics I kind of felt were just kind of like the different armors that you could pick up. I was just like, I don't know if this game really needs this. It didn't need it.
Starting point is 01:54:50 It didn't need it at all. Yeah, it felt really tacked on. But he says, what features in a critically acclaimed AAA game of any kind do you guys hate? features in a critically acclaimed AAA games. So, so stuff like, I guess,
Starting point is 01:55:06 Red Dead and like, like, uh, like big, critically, critical darling video games. I guess he's asking like, what is,
Starting point is 01:55:16 okay, I think Rockstar in general, their gameplay. No, no, no, they're fucking, they're just.

Starting point is 01:56:04 I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan and Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I saw Billboard of years recently that said 20 billion one. 20 million is an insane number. Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and batter and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with? Morgan and Morgan. What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. That's pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7, 365.
Starting point is 01:56:47 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. They're cinematic traveling shit where, like, you just, there's so much traveling where sometimes I just want to fucking play the game and look, don't get me wrong, the dialogue is great. It's always good. It's always good. But sometimes I'm like,
Starting point is 01:57:11 dude, can I, like, you can't skip it. You have to fucking drive. You have to ride your fucking horse. And I'm like, God damn it, dude. I just want to get to where I need to go. Yeah, that affects me. It's frustrating because the dialogue is so good, but the moment to moment, like,
Starting point is 01:57:26 experience of just walking somewhere is so boring that you feel like you can't skip it, because there's something good there, but you don't want to fucking do the walking. That's what's extra frustrating about it. It's like you know you can't skip it because you know you're going to miss out on something good, but how unfun is this?
Starting point is 01:57:40 Yeah, and they put it in their, like, we're going to put great dialogue in these moments. And I'm like, are you just trying to increase play time? What the fuck is this? Like, God damn it, dude. What's a mechanic that I didn't like for my AAA game? I don't know. I'm trying to think.
Starting point is 01:58:00 I feel like I'm fine with most of them. I'm never been like, oh my God, the menu from Witcher 3 in general. Holy fuck, man. Oh, everything about Witcher 3's menus horrible. It's the worst menu ever, dude. I love that game so much. But it's just the worst menu I've ever come across in my life, bro. It was one of the things that turned me off from the game,
Starting point is 01:58:21 one of the first times that I tried it out, because I was just like, this is such a confusing menu. And it throws every tutorial about the menu at you. In the menu. The very moment you opened the menu the first time. Like it's immediate. Like you get you have to, here's how you use your potions. Here's how you make your potions.
Starting point is 01:58:38 Here's how you equip armor. Here's how to know if your armor's going to break. Here's the beastie area. You're going to need this. Here's like all these berries and here's where they're going to be in your little pouch. And here's how to take them out of your pouch. And it's like I just had to equip my sword, bro. I was so mad because in that game, in like very quick pass.
Starting point is 01:58:58 And they teach you how like if you get a monster's head, you can break it down to get like parts to make better armor. I didn't know that. So I was playing through the game and I was like, shit, my stuff sucks. Meanwhile, I had like 47 monster heads with monster heartbush. I could have broke stuff down and made like actual like witch or armor. And I didn't know that. I didn't know that.
Starting point is 01:59:19 I didn't think of it as the way you could break down someone's head. You killed like the Griffin. I think the Griffin was like the first thing you killed. Oh yeah, but the Griffin's head was more or less like a, like a trophy. It was a trophy. opposed to when you kill a drowner and you get a drowner's head you can dismantle its head
Starting point is 01:59:38 and take its eyeballs out and you'll get like monster eyes or like monster lungs or stuff like that and then that's what you can use to build like cooler shit and I didn't know that I didn't know that either in fairness though I typically avoid crafting systems
Starting point is 01:59:51 in most video games I find them kind of annoying but yeah I don't know like I remember playing Shadow of the Colossus for the first time I had no
Starting point is 02:00:02 I thought no fucking idea that there are salamanders that you can kill that like increase your grip strength so you didn't hold on for a long no the first time I played it I had no idea so I beat that game the first time
Starting point is 02:00:16 without collecting a single fucking salamander so I beat like every single colossus with like the bare minimum that's pretty good grip and when I found that out I was like oh hell yeah that's awesome I love that but like at the same time it's like damn I wish I knew
Starting point is 02:00:30 because there were definitely moments where I was like, this feels impossible. Like this feels so insurmountable to me. Dude, I just talked about my friend, and he didn't know this, because it started off the question with the God of War 2018. My second playthrough, no, no, it wasn't my second playthrough. It was when I was fighting the Valkyries at the end.
Starting point is 02:00:50 I'm talking about when I had to figure it out because the Valkyry sometimes would do these blocks with their wings. You get heavy attack through it. No, I didn't know you can shield burn. by fucking double-tapping the shield button, just press L1 twice, and then he just does that shield bash and then it breaks the enemy's defenses.
Starting point is 02:01:11 I played through the entire game with, you know, enemies that wouldn't break their shit, I would think, oh, I have to use Atreus. They're making me use Atreus. Or I have to use my rage, and then that will break their defense. I literally didn't know you just double tap fucking block. You can heavy attack through those.
Starting point is 02:01:25 I didn't know that either. If you hold your heavy attack? No. And you do the chop? No. I saw my first. friend Joe do it. I didn't believe it either. I don't think that's actually. You can chop into them. I've seen it. I was like, what the fuck is this? When they're blocking? When they're doing, when they're doing the
Starting point is 02:01:39 block, when you do that like that grab you like you fucking really hold your sword and you slam it down on them or your sword, your axe, that'll go through those hits. I have to try that because I, but I mean, literally the easiest thing is what it's made for. You just double tap and then it breaks it. And I'm like, and my friend, I was with my friend the other weekend or something. And we were talking about that. And he said, to this fucking day, I had no idea. And I'm like, they didn't mention it. At least if they did, I guess probably everybody plays with tutorials off. Because what the fuck?
Starting point is 02:02:09 Like you just, you figure it out. Or you skip through them because you like, I know how to play video games. I'm fucking, I'm good. I'm, I'm MLG. I'm majorly gaming. That one is probably, I think there's a lot of people that didn't know that. I think there's a lot of people because it was just like, well, what the fuck? And I'm going to play through that game again and have a much easier time.
Starting point is 02:02:30 Because it's I don't know It should happen I wish I could play through that game again I'm just I've just got I played too much of that game I beat all the Valkyries I've been done the hardest difficulty too Before a new game plus
Starting point is 02:02:41 I'm just like I can't play this game again There's too much story parts It's still too fresh in my head For me to play it again But I was able to play Spider-Man twice in a row Same though I was like three years ago It's pretty crazy when you think about it Yeah
Starting point is 02:02:55 I was like three years ago It was crazy wild And they fucking still haven't put up man, I thought that they had everything mapped out. I thought it was like fucking like, like Lord of the Rings, where it's like everything's done and we're just going to drop shit.
Starting point is 02:03:09 Like that's what I was thinking. Derek, that's true, but the world did hit the pause button. You got to be here. It's also not how video game development works. Well, it's course it's not, but I was just hoping that they at least had enough done. They were at such a head start that, oh, so 2018. All right, now we're dropping the second one in 2020.
Starting point is 02:03:30 I was just like, okay, we just have a couple of years. Like, I was hoping that they had like a head start. And they're like, yeah, we have concepts, but now we're going to start working on everything. I'm like, fuck. Yeah. I mean, I think it could have, if things didn't go crazy, we've got to have had it this year. I don't think so. I don't think so.
Starting point is 02:03:46 I think they fucked up immediately. Immediately? I think they were just trying. I think they were just looking for a reason to kind of hype the PlayStation 5 up so people would go out and buy it. And they knew that another god of war was coming out. eventually anyway. But when you look at the release schedule for this year already,
Starting point is 02:04:03 we've had Returnal. We're going to have Ratchet and Clank very soon. Horizon was always confirmed for 2021. There's no room. There's just no room for God of War. Like, it's just, it doesn't belong this year. Like, it can't. I mean, to be fair, they released something
Starting point is 02:04:21 that they released, what you call it afterwards, ghost, but like, yeah, I understand what you mean. But that was because they were both delayed. Okay. They were days gone. It was days gone and ghosts, right? Right. It was Ghost and The Last of Us Part 2. Oh yeah, there was, yeah.
Starting point is 02:04:33 Oh, yeah, that's it. I forgot about that game. What the fuck? The Last of Us Part 2? Yeah, I kind of forgot about it. Yeah, most people did. Interesting. Or some people got hate boners for it, and they're like really serious, despise boners. Those people, they don't fuck.
Starting point is 02:04:50 It's weird. It reminds me of... They like being mad, that's all. It reminds me of the mass effect thing again. Where it's just like, the story didn't go the way you wanted it to. All right, big deal. Fucking... It wasn't... It's not your...
Starting point is 02:05:00 your story to fix, you know? That actually really upset me just because... Success starts with your drive, and American Public University is here to fuel it.

Starting point is 02:06:32 Thanks for having me. Visit for thepeople.com for an office near you. It's the way that people, people that I respect, the way that they remember, uh, Mass Effect 3, for example. Like, I feel like, I'm like, did you? It kind of reminds me of the last of us too.
Starting point is 02:06:49 Where I'm like, did you play it? Because I'm like, dude, like, I guarantee you like... Mass Effect 3 is a great game. It's, it's really good. Like, especially that multiplayer, dude, that multiplayer is so sick. Multiplayer is fun as fuck. Yeah, I'm sad. It's not in the remake.
Starting point is 02:07:02 Was it play it for that game? Yeah, it's all co-op, but it's like really fun. It was basically Firefight, but like Mass Effect 3 plays really well, like the gameplay, like the moment to moment, like combat, actually like... It was good. Mass Effect 1 to Massifact 3 is like Eons different, like the way that it plays.
Starting point is 02:07:24 It's hilarious. They got it right, yeah. I wonder if it's going to actually like, if they fixed it, it might not be that different. Now, I think about it. But it's probably going to be pretty, like, I'm excited to play one and see how it plays with the changes. But yeah, three is, like, two is always really fun to play. But there's also, there's some, talking about some mechanics, there's the grind of the resources that you need in Mass Effect 2, which makes me want to kill myself.
Starting point is 02:07:53 It's one of, it's the only thing that now, if you, if you did a really good, like, new game plus or whatever, if you kick the shit out of Mass Effect 1, you'll get out of, a lot of resources imported into the second one. They would always do that. So that would help. But if you're playing the game like bare bones from scratch, the grind to get some resources that you need to upgrade your stuff is so fucking upsetting. You don't have to do it, but it will, it's cool that it actually matters. Yeah, it does affect the outcome.
Starting point is 02:08:22 And number three, they have similar stuff, but not really. They kind of made it towards, there's so many more casual people going to play this franchise. They took a lot of that out to where it's like, Like, yeah, there's a lot of shit that you can do, but if you don't, it's okay. And the third one is very story-driven, and it's a good fucking story, man. It's good. The highs and the lows. I really appreciate it.
Starting point is 02:08:45 Graham looks great. Wow. Game looks great. The ending was fucking weird, but then they did a lot of things. Like, I've talked about it before. They had the Citadel DLCs that came out after, and they also did this patch that basically gave you a better ending. it seems, I'm like, dude, if anybody, the people that are still talking shit about it, I'm like, dude, you, it's, come on, guys, it's, I liked it when it came out. I liked it when it came out as it was.
Starting point is 02:09:13 So, like, it was okay. I was, like, literally, it was like a month later or something. It wasn't even that much longer. I forgot, I probably totally wrong about that. But it wasn't that much long later when they had a patch, a free patch to add, like, at least somewhat of an ending to where, like, now you can know some stuff that happened. afterwards because you do if you did a lot of stuff at the end of the game and then the game kind of ended you're like wait what happened yeah what happened to yeah it's definitely a lame ending but like I just remember being like oh that was
Starting point is 02:09:42 that could have been better and then yeah and then I put it down I was like it was really that was really fun then you move gone because you're a regular person you don't hard you're a regular person and when you think about a lot of games like some of the best games out there they don't have spectacular endings either like some of the best games you've ever played like you bioshok the first Bioshock. The first Bioshock has an ending that I think is just wholly unremarkable and kind of lazy and really bland. But that game is a fucking masterpiece, dude. Like that is like one of the most important video games I think that has ever been released. It's just so fucking good. Every part of it
Starting point is 02:10:16 is so masterful that the ending as bad as it is doesn't even put a dent in how masterful that game is. And I feel the same way as with Mass Effect, where it's like that trilogy, admittedly I haven't played one but I remember like liking the story I just couldn't get past the fucking I couldn't get past the jank but like two and three as like two games that I played like
Starting point is 02:10:39 fucking great like a great experience one of the best one of the best sci-fi trilogies I think for sure like full stop and last one we got from a pre-Raz it's about nostalgic music
Starting point is 02:10:56 says when it comes to nostalgia What songs sum up your life growing up before adulthood? You can choose up to five, but you can't go past. I still can't name five off the top of my head. My number one is Roik-Sops Remind Me. Is that the fucking Geico? That's everywhere I go. There's always something to remind me.
Starting point is 02:11:18 Out of the place in time. That is actually one of them for me, too. We spoke about this. This is ironic because we just spoke about this, like maybe a week ago. Me, Chris, are watching old commercials. Like, we do every year or so the same compilation of old commercials. Yeah, that was a good one. I can easily go.
Starting point is 02:11:37 There's that song. I'm just a kid. Don't make fun of me. That song reminds you of my childhood so much. It's a nostalgic song. All Star. All Star has been corrupted because of the Internet. For me, it's like it's more associated with, like, modern Internet than it is, like, the past.
Starting point is 02:11:57 For me, it's the past. sure. Then there's 13th Chamber by Wooten Klan. That song reminds me being a little ass because I heard that shit everywhere I went. And lastly is you're gonna make fun of me, but the education connection rap is a song that's
Starting point is 02:12:16 made, like, that song is a part of my life. Like I know every word to it. I'm completely on beat. Like that song is so stuck in my fucking head. Yeah. Like when I'm, when I'm, When I'm on a table and I'm babbling out random shit before I die, I'm going to sing that whole song.
Starting point is 02:12:34 Yeah, I don't know, man. I don't know if I have, like, there are some songs. And I don't even know if these are songs that sum up anything. But there are songs that, like, really bring me back. Specifically, like, I Need to Know, Mark Anthony brings me back to, like, a really, like, weirdly simple time. I were just playing, like, fucking PlayStation 1 games in my living room. on like a big fat-ass TV that was like 3,000 pounds.
Starting point is 02:13:04 But most, honestly, most songs, oh, the ketchup song. Which one's that? That's A Cerehe. Have you ever heard that one? It's a mess. It's like a meme song now, but it's like, or at least it was for a little bit. But it was like, Ase Hey, ha, teherbe to the hebede de Sebi. You know by Mohamedi and the boogie and the Bibi
Starting point is 02:13:27 You never heard that fucking song? No, it sounds like a snippet of it. It's bullshit. It's bullshit. Yeah, it's nonsense. A hip, a hop. What? It's literally, it's literally just, I don't know if, I don't know which can first.
Starting point is 02:13:40 I know the song. I know the song. I hate that I know the song. We've played it. It's like the Spanish, like, stupid fucking gibberish song, but it's like, it's, most of my nostalgic music is Spanish. It's Bombolayo by like the Gypsy Kings or fucking, um, you know suavemente or like like a lot of these like a lot of nostalgic songs from here are either
Starting point is 02:14:01 spanish songs or video game music like the like the like the crash bandicoot menu theme or like uh stuff like that that really like kind of kind of bring me back the only english songs that i can think of is is i'm just a kid like sweeney was talking about uh fucking story of a girl by nine days he's the story of a girl yeah and like cry river and fuck the whole world yeah but that's about it And paramour, most of it's... Paramore is a lot of my fucking childhood. Paramore is endless for me.
Starting point is 02:14:31 Paramore is still relevant to me. Like, I'll put on a Paramore song every now and again. Still. I'm definitely not... I'm definitely not listening to fucking story of a girl, you know? Not as much anymore, you know?
Starting point is 02:14:44 Winchie. Mine is, so there's... There's a...

Starting point is 02:16:33 It's that band lit and I can't remember that fucking my own worst enemy. It reminds me of being like in sixth grade or whatever. Please tell me why. Oh my God. That like that just reminds me. Try you. I know that song too. Ew.
Starting point is 02:16:53 That reminds me of being Like being in middle school Like that whenever I hear It reminds me of being for some reason Like it's like summertime It's hot I'm wearing this like Looney Tunes alien shirt And it just brings me back to this time
Starting point is 02:17:08 It's really fucking weird But yeah That's probably like the biggest one And there's like There's a song on the Mortal Kombat soundtrack It's the remix of the official Mortal Kombat song it's by this group Utah Saints
Starting point is 02:17:25 and it's really it was a pretty cool remix and it was really weird there was a a I forgot what this there was a stupid show that only had one season on Fox called like it was a college show called like undergrad it was something
Starting point is 02:17:39 I know that show God damn I hate that I know that show there was like a there was like a what is it called there was like a under what it called like under underclass or underclassman something like that. It was something stupid, but it had some of the guys from a, that were, what's that
Starting point is 02:17:58 fucking, I can't remember it. I know some people are going to know what I'm talking about, but anyways, there was like a chase scene that had like the Utah, it had that track. It was the most bizarre and random thing because like, oh, they didn't choose the, the, that, the main theme that everyone knew. They chose a, that, that obscure, it was probably the most obscure thing. and it's one of those things that like it just reminds me of just being young and being so taken back that anybody would choose that fucking track I wonder if I can find it.
Starting point is 02:18:37 Dude, there's always something to remind me. For some reason, I don't know why, but like this whole this specific songs that you guys are mentioning are opening up a portal into my fucking past and I just remembered this really obscure were fucking Sweeney Have you ever seen this?
Starting point is 02:18:56 It was this reality show that Stan Lee made on sci-fi called Who Wants to be a superhero? Yes, I know exactly that. Of course. It was,
Starting point is 02:19:06 I just had like a fucking flood of weird weird memories of this fucking show. What a weird. It was really weird. It was just this reality show where a bunch of people
Starting point is 02:19:16 like came up with superheroes and like, costumes and they would dress and they would compete to be like the next like original marvel character or something it was really fucking stupid i love i love oh my god i love that show so much that was my dream when i was a little kid i put my little hand out and reach towards that television show because i wanted it to be me so bad it was really cute but like watching it now or like looking at these pictures now is like really like there was this super hero called
Starting point is 02:19:45 fat mama grows to five times her normal size when angry slash eating a donut activates her other powers I remember she had a donut on a necklace that she would eat This is so fucking That sounds like something
Starting point is 02:20:02 We'd make up passing Like on the podcast Yeah no It's entirely It looks fucking bizarre I wish I got the chance To make superhero I'm gonna make a dope-ass superhero
Starting point is 02:20:12 When I was little What were you gonna be Criminal Man? Wow why would I be criminal man Because you're a criminal Why do you assume that because I don't assume I know you I'm not a criminal
Starting point is 02:20:23 you're an evil person I've never broken You're a super villain maybe I've never broken I've never broken a major lot of my life All right Somebody rolled a clip of Him talking about how he threw a fireball out of a window
Starting point is 02:20:36 It didn't hurt anybody It could have He heard a scream but so what Yeah well boogie fired a warning shot that didn't hurt anybody And now he's in jail That's what we fucking forgot to mention Boogie Boogie has a warrant out for a
Starting point is 02:20:50 arrest. No, he got arrested already. Oh, he turned himself in? Well, he got he got bail, I think. Oh, yeah, that's right. He did bail. He did bail. Yeah, because I saw a mugshot of him earlier. That's right. You guys know who Frank Castle is? I know him because of this thing, because he was the one that showed up to Buggie's house. No, not Frank Castle, Frank Castle. No, Prank Castle. He's the guy that showed up to Buggie's house. Yeah, he, he, he, I don't know if I should say, I'm not going to say it, actually, but he's known for, he takes it too far. He does not leave that guy alone. And one time on Twitter, I saw that he made fun of the fact that Boogie's dad sexually assaulted him.
Starting point is 02:21:30 And I was like, that has got to be the most evil motherfucker on the planet, dog. That's just not nice. I feel like Boogie's not that bad of a guy. Like he's, there's, there's really nothing more you can say when this internet troll showed up. up to somebody's house. Like, that's all you need to say. That's a weird. You know what type of person he is.
Starting point is 02:21:55 You know what type of person he is. Yeah. Imagine Sweeney, like, you disagree with somebody on Twitter and then you were like, man, this guy's so wrong. And you went and found his address and sat outside his house. That's so overboard. Oh, my God. I was just like, dude, grow up. Jesus.
Starting point is 02:22:15 It's like when little kids, like how your mom died had good for you. It's like, bro, come on. just don't be a dick just calm down a bit yeah just just a little bit don't show up to people's houses come on yeah he had the right to shoot him dude
Starting point is 02:22:28 like I would have shot him nine I would have killed him I would have shot him even hold on on even in just polite society as people that you know you shouldn't just show up to their fucking you know usually you
Starting point is 02:22:39 even as somebody who you who knows you and is a friend usually you text or call being like hey is it all right if I come over like hey I might be in the air Yeah. If somebody I knew just walked into my apartment one day while I was just like
Starting point is 02:22:54 sleeping, you know, like that wouldn't be all right. I'd be like, hey, what are you doing? And it's, and it's certainly not all right when some fucking random troll, you know, actually finds your address and just fucking. It's insane, man. I don't know, man. Some people let that trolling shit become their hope. It's like Keem. That's just who they are as a person now. Like, your legacy is going to be that people don't like you. That's how you're going to believe this planet.
Starting point is 02:23:17 Yeah, but I mean, I mean, I don't. I don't know. That's the least of his problems. Oh, yeah, absolutely. There was a guy, another YouTuber that dealt with a dude that showed up. There was, it's what, what's his name? I can't remember his name. Something with eight, eight thoughts. There's a guy that streamed another YouTuber showing up to another YouTuber's house with a gun.
Starting point is 02:23:39 I don't know if you heard about that. I didn't hear about this. I forgot what the guy's name is. He plays that Call of Duty. He's a YouTuber that plays Call of Duty. and yeah he was at his house and then somebody showed up to his house you know was in the car with a gun
Starting point is 02:23:55 and there was another YouTuber streaming it and laughing his ass off and it's just dude there's some there's some shit like I'm like y'all you like you don't there's people that try to say like oh like you Chris like oh you're a commie or you're a Nazi or some shit I'm like you just don't know
Starting point is 02:24:13 how like fucked up people actually are like you know what I mean like there's people out there that are like really fucked up and then they're focusing on you like you're just minding your own fucking business it's pretty wild it's a fun it's a fun world guys
