Starting point is 00:01:46 Hey, hey, everybody. Welcome to episode 69 of the Snark Tank podcast. We made it. We made it to the... We made it to the sex number. Which means, you know... Yeah, buddy. What's the next one?
Starting point is 00:02:09 The next one is 420. So we've got a while. Jesus Christ. Whoa, shit. We've got a while. Then we're going to make it? They're going to make it before $420? One of us is definitely going to die before $420.
Starting point is 00:02:20 That's a lot of... Absolutely. That's like two years. No, that's like eight years. That's definitely, yeah. That's quite a way to wait a way to it. I'll put it into perspective. It's 420 weeks.
Starting point is 00:02:35 So, you know, obviously minus the 69 that we've already done. I think it'd be Derek. Derek would bite the dust between that time. I feel like I'm not long for this world. Yeah. I think it's going to be you, Derek, honestly. Yeah. I disagree.
Starting point is 00:02:50 I'm actually a pretty safe person, unlike you. You're going to get, someone's going to kill you. I'm safe. What do you mean? What are you talking about, bro? You know who's going to get you? Who is going to get you? Joe Budden.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Because Joe Button's on a warpath right now. Joe, Joe Button is collapsing, bro, and I love it. It makes me so happy. It makes me so happy, dude. I wasn't sure if you're aware or not. But yeah. Oh, dude.
Starting point is 00:03:15 His podcast exploded. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What happened with Joe Button's podcast? So what happened was Joe Button, his podcast wasn't initially a Joe Button podcast. He's a pride that he went into, like, all of us went into Snark Tank, you know? Right. But what happened was Joe was being really shisty and not cool about stuff. He was hiding, he was hiding information about the sponsors and a ton of fuck shit.
Starting point is 00:03:39 And then one of his homies came on there and asked him was like, dude, what's up with that, you know? Like, I'm not tripping on you. And he was like, and Joe, instead of Joe Button admitting to his faults, he was just being a piece of shit. He was just being like a narcissistic asshole. And this one was like, all right, I got people like, Joe, you suck dick. And it makes me so happy.
Starting point is 00:03:59 Yeah. Because I hate that dude. I hate him. He turned into a bono. He was a bona fide tyrant. Like, essentially, as soon as they left Spotify, because Joe Button took a, I guess, a shit deal on Spotify. And they weren't getting paid as nearly as much as the podcast was worth with the two other people, Roryam Mall.
Starting point is 00:04:18 Yeah. And so long story short, Joe Budden, without talking to his other partners, takes a Patreon deal, which they were all kind of like, okay, whatever, I guess. Things were all weird. He tried to make a network out of the podcast, the Joe Budden network, which had two terrible other podcasts on there, which I never watched a single second or heard, listen to a single second of the other ones. they were just fucking trash. Long story short, he went nuts, said everybody else has changed. And then, you know, obviously he's the one. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:04:49 Yeah, he's like, everybody sucks now. Everybody, fuck these niggas, man. Oh, they fucking Rory, you ginger, you ruined everything. And then Rory and Moll came out and did their own podcast, like for like an hour just laying everything out. It's like, oh, yeah, this dude's psycho. Like, I don't know what happened to him. And it's, I knew Sweenie. I was like, oh, man, Swinney is fucking just over the moon about this shit.
Starting point is 00:05:10 Makes me feel good. man, I fucking, he, look, this all started from one simple thing. He said that under pressure was a bad album. That is so disrespectful. So that is so disrespectful. It spawned from there. I'm not a petty person at all. Like, genuinely, I've never been petty.
Starting point is 00:05:33 But how dare you? How dare you say under pressure is a bad album when you made Pump It Up? He made Pump It Up and he had the nerve. to say that an album that logic put his heart and soul into was a bad album. Yo, fuck Joe Budden. I'm happy. Fuck his podcast. Fuck that, dude.
Starting point is 00:05:53 I hope his family's secure, though. But fuck Joe Budden, dude. Fuck that, dude. And that's why you're going to die first. Because Joe Budden will hear this. I, which I learned recently, there's some guy, because I did some research and catching up on the whole situation. And, like, Joe Button was responding to people.
Starting point is 00:06:13 YouTubers making videos about him like Yeah, I saw this dude's video. This shit's bullshit. And I'm like, well, this dude's watching shit. So people will probably send this to him. Oh my God. Fuck that nigga Tom Sweeney. I'm gonna get his ass. Look at my eyes. Look at my eyes.
Starting point is 00:06:27 Look at my eyes. Fuck you, Joe buddy. Fuck you. If there was ever a feud that I ever thought anything that I was a part of would get into. It was never in my way. wildest imaginations a feud with Joe Button.
Starting point is 00:06:47 Joe Button. Joe Budden. The Snark Tank versus Joe Budden. We'd blow up, though. Well, hey, I don't know. Joe Button's not super relevant. So I don't know if it would. I mean, he's, he's kind of funny.
Starting point is 00:06:59 He's pretty hugely relevant, dog. He's just not relevant in our sphere. Yeah. And the, and the, and the. Yeah. Well, we got to break into the hip-hop sphere. We got, we got to make fucking snark tank way more urban. No, fucking.
Starting point is 00:07:11 Nobody, nobody, who listens. to hip hop podcast on the regular is going to tune into this show wondering like, oh, I wonder what these guys think about Mass Effect. Oh, bro, I'm really hip hop savvy. It doesn't matter. Sure, but it's never, it's, you know, come on.
Starting point is 00:07:30 We know you are. We can have a hip-hop episode. We can have a hip-hop episode. We could have a hip-hop episode. And that might- Hip-Hip-Wip-Wing. A hip-Hop Month. We'd have Black History
Starting point is 00:07:41 must be a whole hip-hop month. We can do Spanish heritage Montuica's heritage hip hop as well We can do all that man Anyway Let's not tank the podcast I had no I had no
Starting point is 00:07:54 I had no idea Like why is Chris not talking about His guitar solos Oh my god This podcast You interrupted me for that That was what you interrupted me for You shithead
Starting point is 00:08:06 Hey man Hey it'd be like that Listen Fuck Joe Biden Yeah fuck Joe Biden Listen we that's what you said right it's the president
Starting point is 00:08:15 I mean what's the different Bud did not for a long time I didn't know actually the different I thought like people were trying to say Joe Biden I was like who is what is this like this budded that's a name
Starting point is 00:08:26 of course I don't know anyway pump it up fat pump it up pump it up fat dude pump it up fat anyway before we
Starting point is 00:08:37 you know first things first before we get into the meat of today's show before we dive into all the The zaniness that you're all accustomed to. I feel I've got to make a special note here. Huge, huge, huge. Congratulations to Zach Hedell and Michael Cusack, good friends of, good friends of the show.
Starting point is 00:08:58 On their show, smiling friends, officially getting picked up by Adult Swim. According to Adult Swim, like 387 million people watch that pilot. That's insane. That is an insane number. That's fucking. Cooky. That's kind of weird.
Starting point is 00:09:14 Like, it didn't, it didn't even make sense to me. I was like, that, they're like, oh, yeah, okay, we'll do it. Holy shit. That is a lot of fucking people. That is so many. That is such an insane. So many. Just to, I'm googling this right now, just to make sure I have this
Starting point is 00:09:30 right, just to put that into perspective, the Seinfeld finale had 76.3 million viewers. Granted, that's live, so it's a little different. I'm sure this is cumulative. Yes, absolutely. But still, dude, like, that is a fucking enormous amount of eyes.
Starting point is 00:09:50 That's an insane amount of numbers of people just watching that. Yeah, and just, I don't know, man. It's just very cool that they finally got confirmation, and they finally announced it. Super proud of those guys. I remember seeing small parts of that pilot before it actually aired, and I knew, like, immediately when I saw it, I was like, this is going to be...
Starting point is 00:10:08 This is definitely going to get picked up. It's just a matter of, like, when will it have? happen and I'm glad it finally did. Talented dudes, man. Yeah. It's definitely, I love, love, love seeing that well-deserved shit, man. Like, I, like, say, uh, Michael just before, way before I knew he even, who even, what, or what he looked like.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Yeah. It's like, I remember watching his shit at work with my homies. It was just like, oh, this yolo shit or whatever. Yeah. And then, um, and then, and then getting to meet Zach and I was like, oh, this guy is, He's, you think when you meet somebody, you're like, okay, they're kind of... Lately, car buying has become a pretty dull experience. But on eBay, behind every car in part is a story waiting to be shared.
Starting point is 00:10:56 There was a guy who bought a 2020 Porsche Cayman GT4 on eBay. It was well loved. There are plenty of Caymans in great condition on eBay, but this one needed some work. That's just the start of the story. So after this guy gets a great deal on his dream car, he rebuilds the whole. whole thing with all these parts he found on eBay. Performance brakes, suspension, body panels, the works, guaranteed to fit. Next thing you know, this nearly scrapped Cayman was out there on the track as a full-blown race car. You're ready to go daily driver, your next Restamon. Hello,
Starting point is 00:11:28 Lodda Salon, hand the parts to finish it. eBay has thousands of cars and is the largest online selection of vehicle parts and accessories. eBay. Things people love. Agents who are real Toures do more than open doors. They analyze market trends, interest rates, comps. They can tell you about flood zones, mixed use zones, and decode acronyms like HOA, APR, MLS. They connect you to lawyers, contractors, even Phil the Sewardcope Guy. They negotiate, coordinate, advocate for you, close the deal with you, and hand the keys to you. They bring you home. Realtor's are members of the National Association of Realtors, right by you. they might be a little bit different but like he's exactly what I expected him to be with the type of content that he makes and I was just like dude I get it and just huge congratulations
Starting point is 00:12:20 two amazing minds coming together and making something that obviously just killed it yeah that whole team is just full of really good and it's just like this is huge just for the internet I think like this is I mean you've had like internet success you had like you know oh my god what's her name
Starting point is 00:12:36 Lily Singh on on like that late night show and like in the past you had like Fred on I Carly or whatever but this is like distinctly different this is like proper like genuinely like really like superbly talented people actually
Starting point is 00:12:51 getting something out into the wild that's just as good if not better than anything that they've made before and that's just really fucking sick to see just really really proud of those guys really just excited I love seeing shit like this
Starting point is 00:13:06 fuck them Fuck them niggas, man. I'm fucking supremely, I'm going to be a huge hater from now on. I'm going to tell everybody to fucking just drop a bunch of booze. Drop a bunch of booze. Zach is the single. I've met a lot of funny people in my life. I've met Jake.
Starting point is 00:13:24 I've met Gus. I've met Eddie. I met a bunch of people. There is no one quite like Zach. There's no one quite like him. Yeah. That's why he was the first episode of the show. he is truly probably the funniest human being ever in my life.
Starting point is 00:13:42 All right, well, let's calm down. Let's not suck everybody's dick too bad. All right. I'm not sucking dick too bad. I'm being real. I don't give that joke to anybody. That's just crazy. It doesn't make sense.
Starting point is 00:13:52 Oh, my God. But yeah, we just, I had to mention that because that's just huge, huge YouTube news. For real. But moving on, let's just jump into some, some of the topics here. I don't know if you guys. read anything about this. I know Sweeney said he didn't. I don't know about Derek. But there was a big
Starting point is 00:14:13 UFO thing that happened over the last couple weeks and nobody paid attention to it because I think we're just really jaded. And the fact that this wasn't bigger news than it was is kind of astonishing given how
Starting point is 00:14:29 like secretive the government usually is about this kind of thing. It's like, ah, weather balloon. Ah, whatever. They just had like a bunch of like high profile like ex-Navy and like X like Navy pilots and like scientists and shit and government people like just talking openly about UFOs. And they were like, yeah, we can't explain these things. They move in ways that are beyond our comprehension. We saw them every single day for several years in Navy flight school.
Starting point is 00:15:00 And it's just like what? You know what I think it is? What? First of all, I don't think I don't think like regular people or. even paying attention at all, they're watching whatever the fuck, you know, whatever they usually watch like friends or reruns or something. And then the people that
Starting point is 00:15:15 are aware, they've been aware for a long time. So they're just like... So they're just kind of like... Yeah, sure, I know. I fucking know. Yeah, you're probably right. It is, it is in hindsight. Like, because I always believed in aliens.
Starting point is 00:15:31 Like, that's like, oh, that's just like an obvious... Like, to me, that's just like, it's... The universe is too big for their not to be other life out there. But like... That simple deductive reasoning is like, oh, duh, there's aliens. The fuck. But for me, the UFO thing, I was always like, oh, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:15:47 Why would they, like, you know, why would anything like that be here? Like, that seems a bit of a stretch. Even though I've seen them, like, three times. I've never spoken about it because I didn't want to seem like a psycho. But, like, I've seen these things. You seem like a psycho. You seem like a psycho. I know, I know, for sure.
Starting point is 00:16:02 But, like, it's just, I don't know. It's just interesting to see, like, all these, like, just people. Even Obama was like, oh, fuck, Obama. What do you say? Obama was talking. So was Shaq, dude. Where do you think we're Boat? Where do you think Boat came from?
Starting point is 00:16:16 Bo's not from here. Bo's not of this world. Bo's not dead. They gave him to the aliens to buy us another year. They gave him back to the aliens. Back. He's like, I have to go now, Obama. That is a huge implication.
Starting point is 00:16:29 Obama, I must leave. Even though he's an Obama, I must leave now, Obama. For your safety. My planet needs me. I don't know, man. I'm on my planet needs me. Some dude, some dude was calling it like a, like, he's like, yeah, we consider it a security threat. And it's like, what?
Starting point is 00:16:48 I mean, obviously, if something moves, what? Yeah. If you're seeing, if you're seeing a hunk of metal that just defies every law of physics that you've ever learned, and it's just moving independently and has no, it has no way of, like, telegraphing its intention, to you other than just like zipping away from you in ways that completely like fuck with your brain probably yeah it's probably a little dangerous so confused of like how they move how does something move in a way we can't explain because there's no because of because of force usually usually like like geez and like moving fast and doing things that like you just can't fathom like we don't have
Starting point is 00:17:28 type of technology that can just stop and then move in a different direction without there being like a bunch of g's I get that But like How'd I explain it? I feel like Along the third dimension I've seen just about every form of movement
Starting point is 00:17:45 No you haven't No you're talking about Along the third dimension Of like oh something going forward Then going backwards and going upward Like moving along the space I've seen roughly every movement What do you see what if give me an example
Starting point is 00:18:01 Of you've seen something do Something like that Not in person, but I've seen those kind of motions, whether it be in film, whether it be in like cartoons or animation. It's not real. I understand that, but I wouldn't be freaked out by something like, oh, that's crazy. No, no, no, hold on. Oh, that's wild. I wouldn't be like.
Starting point is 00:18:17 I have a massive issue with this because there's a lot of things that we see in film that if we saw in real life, we'd be absolutely. Remember last year when that fucking, was it, was it Beirut when Beirut exploded and the clouds vanished? Like there was a super saun in the fucking building? I get, I get that. That was, you just referenced a super saying. You just referenced the super sex. Like, I get it. Like, I'm not saying.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Is that not mesmerizing, though? That's wild. And I'd be like, whoa, that's crazy. I wouldn't be like factory reset because I saw a sign I can't believe. So if you saw, if you actually saw King Kong and fucking Godzilla fighting, you'd be like, whoa, I've seen it in the film. I'll be like, what the fuck? I'd be, I'd be exhilarated. I'd be like, whoa, what the fuck's going on?
Starting point is 00:19:03 I'd be freaking out, but I wouldn't be like, I wouldn't just stop. I wouldn't just pause. My brain wouldn't shatter. I wouldn't look up and be like, whoa. Kingston, that's because brains don't shatter. Like, no one's saying that you would actually, like, factory reset and become a baby again after you see something like that. Who said that? Who are you talking to?
Starting point is 00:19:25 Is this so wild idea of, like, something like, because I feel like I've imagined or just about seeing every goddamn thing of, like, motion-wise at least. But I don't understand who you're addressing with, because not. It's just wild that the people seeing that are, like, it's just, it's kind of crazy to me that there are things out there that these people that work in these fields haven't seen yet. I haven't even imagined yet. That's just kind of crazy. It's not totally different. That's different. That's different.
Starting point is 00:19:52 They've probably imagined everything. Lately, car buying has become a pretty dull experience. But on eBay, behind every car in part is a story waiting to be shared. There was a guy who bought a 2020 Porsche Cayman GT4 on eBay. It was well loved. There are plenty of Caymans in great condition on eBay, but this one needed some work. That's just the start of the story.
Starting point is 00:20:15 So after this guy gets a great deal on his dream car, he rebuilds the whole thing with all these parts he found on eBay. Performance brakes, suspension, body panels, the works, guaranteed to fit. Next thing you know, this nearly scrapped Cayman was out there on the track as a full-blown race car. You're ready to go daily driver. Your next Restamad. Hello, Lotus Alon.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Hand the parts to finish it. eBay has thousands of cars and is the largest online selection of vehicle parts and accessories. eBay. Things people love. I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan. Hey, how's it going today? It's going good, man.
Starting point is 00:20:53 Tell us who you are and what you do. I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan & 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 billion is an insane number. Yeah, 20 billion recovered.
Starting point is 00:21:11 It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and badder and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. That's pound 529 from your cell phone.
Starting point is 00:21:32 phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7, 365. Wow. Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's Large Injury Law, from, thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit furtherpeople.com for an office near you. But their imagination can, your imagination can do everything, right? But then when they obey the laws of physics, from what they know, what they understand what the laws of physics are, and then they see something, and they're like, that shouldn't be able to happen. And then their, quote, unquote, brains break, you know, as you say. The game's all different now.
Starting point is 00:22:04 The game's clearly different now. Clearly they're playing, they were playing fucking Pong and these aliens are playing fucking Aquarena a time on a fucking 64. It's a different game now. Right, but these guys aren't, these guys aren't talking about like
Starting point is 00:22:18 seeing something and then just being like completely like, oh, my brain is shattered. It's just like, oh, that is impossible based on everything that anybody on the planet or any country, that technology is eons ahead of anything that anybody else can build. That's dangerous and concerning because that has huge implications. We don't know the nature of this thing.
Starting point is 00:22:46 We don't know the intention of it. We should be concerned about it. It's really literally all they're saying. They're not saying like, oh, I saw something and I never once imagined that something could move laterally and then backwards real quick. Obviously they've imagined that. It's a different thing seeing it in person. Imagine if you saw a building hopscotch down the street. You'd be...
Starting point is 00:23:08 I'm sure you can imagine that, but that would be jarring. I think I'll go to sleep. I think that would just be like bedtime. That'd be like, go crazy. And I put my gear on and I'd go to sleep. I put my bedtime clothes on and go to sleep. I just think it's amazing that like we're just at that point where it's like, oh yeah, UFOs, yeah, they're real.
Starting point is 00:23:29 I just... I have a vivid. Vibit memory from 20, no, I was going to say 2016. 2006, I was hanging out with some friends. Those was multiple people. It was probably five or six of us. We were hanging out in my friend's backyard, this dude, Nick. And there were dots in the sky that looked like stars or possibly satellites,
Starting point is 00:23:51 but they were doing things that, obviously, stars, they're not fucking moving. And satellites, they're so damn far away. you can't notice them moving unless you stare for a very long time. Yeah, they're pretty imperceptible. They were doing dumb shit and patterns. And we were all looking at it. All of us were like, dude, what are those things?
Starting point is 00:24:12 They're doing stuff, and they're far away, and it's moving as if it's like only a thousand feet above us. It was moving quickly. And I'm like, okay, this is the type of shit that the fucking Navy and all these are all these people, whatever, all these people that talk about all this shit, people that have gone on Joe Rogan's podcast
Starting point is 00:24:30 because there's like a bunch of them and then they describe these things that I've worked with technology that things that it's producing its own energy magnetic magnetic fields and stuff and I'm like this is I don't even it's kind of I was like I don't want to know about it I just I did it's too much yeah it's too
Starting point is 00:24:46 weird to think about these things because of how I understand for a while I was nerding out on like just physics and quantum mechanics and trying to understand the universe and then at a certain point you're like what the fuck What's the point? What's the point? What are you going to do with this information? That's what I feel. That's what I felt about. That's what I felt about physics in like college. I was like, I had the physics one. I was like, oh, this is cool. It's insightful. You know, I took physics in high school. I took physics one. I was like, oh, this is useful. This information. I just like, oh, this is not useful to me at all. Like, why do I need this? Why do I need any theoretical science? I can't even tell why I'm sad most of the time? Why the fuck how the fuck is this going to help me?
Starting point is 00:25:26 guys did you ever think about the leaps and bounds and technology like when you when you say open a phone or a console or whatever and you see the chips and you see data stored on these things you ever wondered like how the fuck is this even possible like you ever think about like it just it fries my brain when I actually start thinking about it and how at some point people figured out how to like oh fuck analog do we can we can fuck digitally stuff. We know which fucking with which airwaves we can trigger to transfer stuff and I don't even how do you figure that it is out? Yeah it's so crazy What's crazy is that there's foundations
Starting point is 00:26:11 you know like this goes to that goes to that you know there's like steps but that first breakthrough of like just simply the phone like long distance phone this shit like that or like I think it's AC and DC adapter and stuff like that shit when it was way way back and like
Starting point is 00:26:26 before the Gilded era and shit like in the 1920s and stuff like who the fuck was that guy that was like yo yo I got big big ideas I can talk to somebody in like seven buildings away
Starting point is 00:26:40 and they were like you're crazy and he was like nah man I could do it the premise of just like you said like a computer chip or like a motherboard you know just the premise of that like the green slab of whatever
Starting point is 00:26:55 the hell that material is with all the fucking lines going through it. All those thoughts and shit. The thought to the thought to create that before that existed is fucking beyond me. To the point where like I remember like I felt myself going down
Starting point is 00:27:12 that path. I was like I wonder how they did this and I immediately was like don't do that. Don't do that to yourself. It's not worth it. Keep yourself saying. It's like that guy in Halo when he looks up and he's like is that? And he's like, don't think about it. That's in REACH, right? Or it's in ODST? Oh, three. I know exactly what you're saying.
Starting point is 00:27:32 He was like, is that the, and he's like, don't think about it because he's looking at the fucking Milky Way. It's like, you know what? That's crazy. You know what I genuinely felt stupid for the first time? Like, genuinely was when I started learning how, um, how you're able to play records. Like, say, how did people make this shit? when they made records and how they're able to fucking play them with a fucking needle. And I was looking this shit up and I was like, I'm so goddamn stupid. There's no way, I've never thought about anything close to being that like. Yeah. I know how to make something and now just putting grooves in something.
Starting point is 00:28:12 Now I can play what it. Yeah. Like it doesn't make any fucking sense to me, bro. Like a scratch, a long continuous scratch in a disc of wax somehow playing any. any sound at all that isn't that isn't just screeching or unintelligible like static
Starting point is 00:28:30 is really No it's someone's voice It's a recording of someone's voice It almost seems like more Magical Well yeah But what I'm saying is like It almost seems backwards
Starting point is 00:28:42 Like the technology for records And I know obviously it's not Obviously the science of like Compressing data into literally the air And transferring through the air is like obviously like borderline magic. I understand that. But when you think about like the root of what that tech is,
Starting point is 00:28:57 like a disc of wax that somehow plays high quality complex rhythms and sounds seems way more technologically impressive than an MP3 does. You know what I mean? I wouldn't say that. I don't think that because of the fact that I somewhat know what records are. But at the same time, that's just like some, It's also just wild.
Starting point is 00:29:21 Yeah. That's still another like, I think it's just because we understand files. Like we're, we're young and we like, we have an understanding of what a file is. So it's not that, it's not that,
Starting point is 00:29:32 it's not that complicated to us. But like, I feel like generally people are age, um, and younger especially, when you see a record, you don't, you're not thinking like,
Starting point is 00:29:41 because there's no other tech that works that way. Like there's no other tech that works like, oh, when you scratch it, a movie plays. Like tape, like movies are like, completely different than records and like
Starting point is 00:29:52 vastly everything and whereas like now files are all kind of the same it's just like oh dot mp3 dot m ov dot mp whatever but like it's all just a different type of file like the root of all media is kind of the same now whereas like back then it's just completely fucking it's just all this crazy shit like oh you got to shear the sheep and compress the sheep's wool into a into a into a stick and then you poke the stick into a fucking circuit board and then it plays beethoven's fifth and you're like what Yeah, same thing with me in calendars, bro. Calenders are insane.
Starting point is 00:30:24 The fact that calendars exist, the fact that there are like solar and lunar calendars that exist for like tens of thousands of years. Like, not tens of thousands, maybe like thousands of years. How long did you have to look at like you had how much people's entire lives, entire lives mapping the skies to be able to make fucking calendars. You know what it is? It's wild, and they did it because the farming. They did it to farm.
Starting point is 00:30:50 That means they understood agriculture already too. It's like how the fuck do you do that? It's a conversation I've had kind of a lot. But like I think it really just comes down to just there are just fewer distractions. You know, your only concern in those days were just, we're like, oh, to stay alive, you know, or like provide food for yourself and your family. And you weren't distracted by like fucking 10,000 emails a day or like fucking, you know, the meme of the week. or anything like that. I feel like you had a lot more time
Starting point is 00:31:21 to like focus in on something and get like really really hone in on shit. For me is the idea of that I feel like people have the ability of grasp more knowledge but there's no way you could pull the
Starting point is 00:31:33 you could pull like 98% of the population they'd be like hey you got three years make a calendar they'll be like I can't do that I just can't do that well they would probably just because that shit's Google it
Starting point is 00:31:44 no no no but if you pulled them in you've pulled them in a situation or they were like make a calendar You have to make a calendar Or you have to You have to track
Starting point is 00:31:53 Like hunting and gathering Was a thing to like They had to survive That means they were these people That had better senses And they could like Follow the wind And like tracks and be like
Starting point is 00:32:06 Oh This creature headed this way Based on way the wind's blowing And also the way This water's flowing And you're like Yeah And meanwhile
Starting point is 00:32:16 And meanwhile you got these fucking ghosts zip zapping and zopping all over the place in the sky at speeds that our government can't fucking understand and we're just here not being able to make a calendar yeah and when the fuck when are we going to be able to understand i mean there's just too much because it at the same time it could just be nothing because there's so much there's so much material in the universe we don't understand it could just be something in the universe and not like it like how what we portray, like, whenever we hear UFO, right, we think aliens, but really it's exactly what it is, a UFO unidentified flying object. It could be just material that's just acting in this fucking weird
Starting point is 00:32:59 way and we don't understand why. Kind of like, you know, it could be atoms that are fucking performing some weird thing, but we just don't understand. In like very specific context. Like, oh, it's doing this right now because it's exposed to, it's so, the universe is so big. And even, it's so big. And even if they are, like, Lately, car buying has become a pretty dull experience, but on eBay, behind every car in part is a story waiting to be shared. There was a guy who bought a 2020 Porsche Cayman GT4 on eBay. It was well loved. There are plenty of Caymans in great condition on eBay, but this one needed some work. That's just the start of the story. So after this guy gets a great deal on his dream car, he rebuilds the whole thing with all these parts he found on eBay.
Starting point is 00:33:44 Performance brakes, suspension, body panels, the works, guaranteed to fit. Next thing you know, this nearly scrapped Kaman was out there on the track as a full-blown race car. You're ready to go daily driver, your next Restamod. Hello, Lotus Alon, hand the parts to finish it. eBay has thousands of cars and is the largest online selection of vehicle parts and accessories. eBay. Things people love. I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, hi, Dan.
Starting point is 00:34:13 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.
Starting point is 00:34:30 $20 billion is an insane number. Yeah, $20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and badder and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. That's pound 529 from your cell phone.
Starting point is 00:34:55 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. Alien ships? In all likelihood, they're probably like drones, right? They wouldn't put There are people in there. You know, like, it's probably just like literally. We don't know. I mean, if they were, they'd be fucking, they'd just be fucking with us, right?
Starting point is 00:35:22 They'd be trolling us, right? Wouldn't that, wouldn't that? Because what else would, what's the point? Yeah, what's the point of putting a, putting a life form there? Like, you might as well, like, because we put, we put a fucking RC car on Mars, you know? Like, there's nobody, there's nobody in there. We also sent dogs and monkeys and shit to space, too. You think they found one of those?
Starting point is 00:35:41 You think they found, you think they found the monkey? And they were like, what the fuck? Who brought the, who sent? They found the monkey we sent to space. They brought them to the alien planet. And now that monkey's smarter than any person on Earth. Now that monkey is wholeheartedly smarter than anyone here. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:35:56 That is an amazing premise for like a comic or some fucking or like some show. That's some guardians of the galaxy. I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure they brought a Labradoodle to space. And they made it the smartest thing on it. It's a smarter than any person. It's a psychic Labradoodle. It's a good way to remix or rebrand.
Starting point is 00:36:15 boot planet of the apes because you get like oh they they shot a monkey into space and then aliens fixed it up and it came back and it's like I'm the shit and I'm going to kill all of you because I didn't get that far for the plot but you understand that's a cool I unironically like that premise a lot I don't like the idea of uh I don't like the idea of apes being uh I don't like them being in cages but I don't know if I feel about them being in cities you know like if I know how I feel about gorillas running through the city. I know exactly how I feel. Maybe don't.
Starting point is 00:36:51 Maybe don't. What do we do? Do we kill them then if they want rights? No, what do you? Their monk, put them in the fucking... In context, contextually. If they want to live in society. They don't want anything.
Starting point is 00:37:02 But let's just say in this context they do. A plenty of eight contexts. They want to live in society. How do we react? You put them in the jungle where they came from and let them build something. Would they be okay? with that? They would have to.
Starting point is 00:37:15 Exactly. Wait, wait, wait. Okay. Okay. Okay. What if Gorilla City wanted to integrate with the rest of the world? I mean, like, D.C.'s. Gala City where Gorilla Grod is from.
Starting point is 00:37:26 Well, they're upstanding citizens. You know, they're upstanding, like, they do things like people do. So how are we going to tell them not? You know, like, how are we going to tell them you guys can't do that? They provide the industry. They pay their taxes. They fucking work jobs like they're doing what they got to do. Well, hold on.
Starting point is 00:37:42 There's got to be like a progression to this. can't just be like one day they're all of a sudden smart it has to be like a we're talking about this as as like a real thing they would eventually have to become like as smart as like you know special needs people you never know you never know like it could potentially or it could just be like a catalyst that bam they're just really smart all of a sudden i don't know i feel like it would be like in a span of like two weeks we look away from from gorillas and we come back and they're building fucking sanctuaries and stuff like that and one waves at a camera like it says hello like actually like i actually
Starting point is 00:38:14 What if there's like some weird EMP that fucks all of our technology, but it enhances only gorilla brains? Damn, that's dangerous. Because you know girls are going to enhance other monkeys, you know? They're going to be like, oh, these are my, these are my niggas. These are my niggas. I got to bring my niggas with me when I start shining. So like, I don't know, man.
Starting point is 00:38:36 Do you think they would say that? Do you think they would, they would have that exact? I got to bring my niggas with me, bro. Like I can't. Now, wait, now wait, hold on. Hold on. Now here's, here's an interesting premise. Can a gorilla say nigga?
Starting point is 00:38:51 What do you? Yeah. Can the gorilla? Can they say that? Yeah, they can. What if they decide that you can't? Damn, that's heavy. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:39:03 They can't decide we can't, though, because that word is spawned from us, not them. But they are allowed to say it by all means. I would never take that from one of them. I don't know, man. It's like Puerto Rican. It's like, Puerto Ricans, you know, like, Puerto Ricans can say it, you know, but they can't, not really, a Puerto Rican can't tell somebody not, they can't, they can't say it, bro.
Starting point is 00:39:21 You can go there and try to fight all in New York City and tell them they can't say it, but they can say it, you know, and then like, he can't take it from me, but he can't say it. He can't particularly don't someone with it. Like, you really can't give a monkey the ability to say, nigga, you know, can't just give like a marmosap. Like, hey, you can say this now. Exactly. I don't like where this is going.
Starting point is 00:39:40 I like it. We're really trying to lay. the pavement for like... This is sincerely a conversation that I don't think anyone has ever had. I don't believe that this is a... I don't believe this conversation has occurred more than... more than once. I agree with you wholeheartedly.
Starting point is 00:39:56 I feel like it's happened maybe five times in human history. Like max. Like five max. And that's like with a... And I feel like two of them were involving me. I'm like two of the time of it being said it was like, oh, Kingston definitely said that. Oh, my God. Anyway.
Starting point is 00:40:12 They could say... I'm just saying... man. Anyway, but the internet word isn't that bad. Anyway, listen.
Starting point is 00:40:16 Uh, what do we take away from this? Aliens are real and you should be concerned. Because Obama is concerned. Aliens are most likely real. Obama was literally, Obama misses bone. I never got a chance to say it,
Starting point is 00:40:28 but he was like, I forget what Obama said, but he was like, yeah, we can't explain this shit. Like, he just, it was just like,
Starting point is 00:40:36 yeah, I don't know what the hell's going on. I was the president for eight years and I was like, I don't got no idea. That's some metal shit that moves in fucking, video game way. Like, I don't fucking...
Starting point is 00:40:47 I don't got time. Figure that out. You know... You know... Lately, car buying has become a pretty dull experience. But on eBay, behind every car in part, is a story waiting to be shared. There was a guy who
Starting point is 00:40:59 bought a 2020 Porsche Cayman GT4 on eBay. It was well loved. There are plenty of Kamens in great condition on eBay, but this one needed some work. That's just the start of the story. So after this guy gets a great deal on his dream car, he rebuilds the whole thing with all these parts he found on eBay. Performance brakes,

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. was concerned because he's a fucking sci-fi nerd. He's like, he's like really, he's like really, he was talking about his favorite movies. And he's like, uh, besides, uh, watching Bo, uh, take a stroll in the park. I, I like, I besides watching Bo take a stroll in the park, he has, he, he literally walks his dog throughout the park, then goes home and sits down on his couch and watches a video of his
Starting point is 00:43:08 dog strolling to the park. That is love. That is fucking love. No, it's entertainment because he considers that sci-fi entertainment. It's sci-fi entertainment. And see, he considers it sci-fi entertainment because he knows Bo's a fucking alien. That's true. Bo is not a...
Starting point is 00:43:24 Bo is a dog, guys. This is this a man who misses their dog. No, no. Don't oversimplify it like that. Yeah. Bo is this a dog and it died. Nah, don't say that. And after it died, it's body floated back up to the mothership.
Starting point is 00:43:40 And the alien came down. I was like, thank you for bearing bow for so long. We appreciate it. And it just floated back away. You're back on the train. You're back on the fucking train, dog. I was saying he's into like Blade Runner and shit. So he wants, he's like, he's just living in the sci-fi world.
Starting point is 00:43:56 So as soon as he hears something like this, he wants to be afraid. And he hopes that something happens. And then he can become like the, what do you call it, the general of the alien space army or whatever the fuck we're going to do? Because, you know, it would be... I would cast Obama to lead us into defeating the aliens. No, no, Obama. I wouldn't guess anybody. I don't think anybody could defeat the aliens.
Starting point is 00:44:18 I think our best bet is doing, like, the whole Mass Effect thing and being like, hey, let's... Can we... Can we, like, maybe... Come up there? Can we see? Can we see what's up? I mean, could you imagine there's a Krogan kind of alien around there?
Starting point is 00:44:30 I don't want to deal with a Krogan. I don't want to... I'm pretty sure a little kid Krogan could kill a building full of adults. Oh, yeah, probably. ...ad adults with no guns? Well, like, I don't want to... I want to do one of those things. Well, since we're on that subject already,
Starting point is 00:44:44 Sweeney, this is a historic moment, also kept for episode 69. So this is a very, this is a big, this is a big episode. Nice. I want to wait until we had a lot of good shit to talk about. Sweeney finally,
Starting point is 00:44:56 after how long has it been, what is it, 15 years? Has finally jumped into, jumped into Mass Effect. He's playing the legendary edition. How, you're in, you're still on Mass Effect one, right? Yeah, I'm still on one.
Starting point is 00:45:10 You've played it for how many hours at this point? A considerably long time, right? 13 hours? Maybe 13 hours, yeah. I'm not far at all. Like, I'm really not far. And I fight the game is not very short because I look at my stats. And my stats are pretty close to being, like, really high.
Starting point is 00:45:24 And I'm like, I think I'm almost near the end of this. Well, where are you? Where are you? I just got to the Thorians, the Idismet of Thorian thing where you're like on that planet. that, uh, okay, okay. You meet the girl and you meet the, you meet the guy and then you meet the lady and her daughter. Her daughter was up like trying to not make sure you found authoritarian so it doesn't like mind control people.
Starting point is 00:45:50 And now I'm going to do that with it. Yeah, you're okay. You're on that. You're, you are kind of, I, you, you, you still got an okay amount left, but you're, you're, like, with your stats and stuff, you should be pretty much like, like at the end with the, like, the type of shit that you have, especially with, with the legendary edition, they made it, they cut it in half essentially. You know, because, yeah, because if you, if you played it, say, the original, you can still max out, but you really want to try to do fucking everything. And because if you don't, if you're trying to just kind of blaze through it, you're going to miss some stuff that's going to probably
Starting point is 00:46:30 piss you off because your stats are a little bit, certain stats are too fucking low. So they, they kind of bounced it out to where, I think they did a good job with it. I think they did a good job. Yeah. So, but what your thoughts, man? I love it. I love it. I love Mass Effect so far. Hey. My boy is Garris. I'll fight. I will fight for Garris. I will go to war for him. If he's like, yo, we've got to make a move. Some people got to go missing. I'd be like, Garris, where are we going? Where are we heading to? Let me know.
Starting point is 00:46:59 I will kill for Garris, bro. Nice. Yeah, I wasn't sure you would like it. Like, it was totally up in the air. I don't fuck with Ashley, though. Ashley's hell of racist, bro. It's like, it's like jarring. It's like jarring how race. Like some of her side comments are just like real big in it. She's literally a space Republican. That's exactly what she is. It is painful.
Starting point is 00:47:19 I was like talking. He's like, are you sure we should let the aliens have full reign of the ship? And I'm like, yeah, bitch. What? But are you being nice to her because, you know, do you want to try to, you know, get a little bit of that nice nice?
Starting point is 00:47:31 I don't want her. I want that blue. I wanted what you call it's mom. I wanted Leara's mom. Because my mom had some big blue tides. She had some big ass blue tuesday. Cities are huge, dude. She had unnecessarily big blue Tijuana.
Starting point is 00:47:43 But, like, you know, it's your first time playing, so it's not like any, I don't think, I didn't bring her the first time. I was not fucking with Liara when I, when I, my first play through. It's just, I'm just, I just bring Garris and freaking Rex with me everywhere. I just storming with those two everywhere I go. I just kill the fuck out of people. Garris, Garris is so goddamn great. Like, I'm, I'm really glad that you, uh, you like it.
Starting point is 00:48:06 We told you, man, for years. We were telling you. And you're talking about liking Garris now. When you're in the second game, that's when Garris is like Garris. That's when he's fucking really Garris. Yo, Garris is just about making moves, bro. He doesn't have time of motion. He's like, yo, liking.
Starting point is 00:48:23 We got to do this. Liking Garris in Mass Effect 1 is like liking Arbiter in Halo 3 before you played Halo 2. Like, Garris is so fucking amazing. He is my Arbiter. He was my Arbiter again. I can't wait for you to fucking, I can't wait for you to play Halo, or Mass Effect 2, because that is, that is. I think on Friday I'm going to do a long stream. Like, I'm going to sleep.
Starting point is 00:48:49 I'm going to drink some energy drinks when I wake up. I'm going to have like a nice breakfast. And I'm just going to try to beat that game on Friday. Because I really want to get into two. I love, fucking, bro. Every, I went infiltrator because I like snipers. Okay. And it's just such a ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:49:05 I fucking murder people. The sniping is great. in the first game sniping is the best because of the limited classes there's not a limit what you can do the limits of the classes once the second and third game gets into
Starting point is 00:49:20 like the other classes blow anything out the water like there's other classes that are so much better but fucking the first one just literally shooting everybody in the head is the fucking it's it's just lovely so useful I still got a I still got to jump into it I still have not played the first one so I got to jump into it so fucking good man
Starting point is 00:49:37 I'll do it man The fixes are wild It's very bearable Like people say it's like It was like this game was like Nye unbearable and I was like It's really just fine
Starting point is 00:49:46 It's like not new But it still plays really well You should Like before you jump into Mass Effect 2 You should just play the original version A little bit Just so you could really like Appreciate what you got
Starting point is 00:49:58 Because like from what I'm hearing It's like way way Like the MAKO I heard It's like a completely Oh my God The MAKO works It's nicely balance nice thrusters
Starting point is 00:50:09 like you it's just you just go places quicker you're not fucking fault it's it's just thank you it's just thank you that's basically all I can say the make I heard the make it was so bad they took it out into yeah they put in hammerhead which I fucking
Starting point is 00:50:27 hated those missions anyway they're stupid I never do them I'm fucking I'm excited I want to play right now I might stream again after you in the stream oh shit I'm done with the podcast I might stream and play it's a It's a great game, man. It's so good. Just a, just a tip. I'm not going to, all I want to say is just try your best to,
Starting point is 00:50:50 just try your best to max stuff. You know how like you have, there's a lot of different things that you can max, or you can build, like as far as stats or whatever. Like, just, you know, let me ask you something. Have you been more of, a dick or you've been a paragon, renegade a paragon? Look, look, look. I've tried to be
Starting point is 00:51:13 a paragon. I'm trying. I'm trying to give good things and it still says I'm a what you call it. The um... You still renegade? I'm still renegade. And I'm like, I'm trying, bro. You know what I did? That people are like, you're going to fucking regret that, you stupid bitch? Yeah, I feel like that's too... Yeah, that's too much
Starting point is 00:51:29 of a spoiler for anyone to even say anything about that. Yeah. Normally normally we wouldn't care about spoilers for games this old, but Mass Effect is a unique one because I feel like a lot of people didn't play the first one and also like a lot of new people are getting into mass effect now which is awesome uh and love it it is also just that game is the story so like yeah Sweeney's finally jumped into the mass effect he loves it no surprise uh i i'm a little surprised though to be honest but that was that well only
Starting point is 00:51:59 because uh when we've been talking about this for all these years right you in hindsight you did you probably made a good choice waiting because this is probably like the best way to experience the first one. But in the context that we've been talking about playing through Mass Effect again, we've been talking about the context of like playing the originals. And the original Mass Effect, I think, is a bit more divisive only because it plays really poorly. You know, it's very cotor, you know? It's not up to the standards that people are used to. So like if he went back and played the original. Like, maybe he wouldn't have.
Starting point is 00:52:36 So that's, that was like how my framework was going. But now that the legendary edition's out and they did all these fixes and they fix the XP system and they fixed the makeo and it plays better. I just heard it's way different now. I heard it's way different from what it was. Yeah. Like, there's less stats. There's less stats in there way before.
Starting point is 00:52:51 I heard it was like the way they dole out XP is, is, they dole out XP more frequently now because in the old game, it was very sparse. At least that's what I remember. I could be wrong. I just remember having to play it twice if I really wanted to properly max everything out
Starting point is 00:53:14 and get everything the way that I wanted it to be it was like really unless you because the game is since it was kind of insufferable to play at times because of the mechanics you just had to skip shit I'm like I don't want to do everything in the fucking game you know
Starting point is 00:53:30 lately car buying has become a pretty dull experience But on eBay, behind every car in part is a story waiting to be shared. There was a guy who bought a 2020 Porsche Cayman GT4 on eBay. It was well loved. There are plenty of Cayman's in great condition on eBay, but this one needed some work. That's just the start of the story. So after this guy gets a great deal on his dream car,
Starting point is 00:53:54 he rebuilds the whole thing with all these parts he found on eBay. Performance brakes, suspension, body panels, the works, guaranteed to fit. Next thing you know, this nearly scrapped Kaman was out there on the track as a full-blown race car. You're ready to go daily driver, your next Restamon. Hello, Lodda Salon, hand the parts to finish it. eBay has thousands of cars and is the largest online selection of vehicle parts and accessories. eBay. Things people love. I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan.
Starting point is 00:54:26 Hey, how's it going today? It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan and Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I saw Billboard of years recently that said 20 billion one. 20 billion is an insane number. Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and 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
Starting point is 00:55:10 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. But yeah, it's, it's a man, like the first play-through was such a learning experience, though, because of stuff where you're just like, oh, shit. You know, like people trying to fucking fuck with you with the with the decision you made like that it's cool that's why I love the game so much man it's just like a lot of these things they they fucking matter and some of them way more than others and it just a lot of people by mistake bro when you there's a part where you have to not kill people you have to use the grenades that are non-lethal oh you fucking
Starting point is 00:55:50 and I killed like seven people you didn't use the gas you didn't use the gas grenades I was just like I was like I threw a grenade I thought the grenade would just change And it did it and the guys went flying. And I was like, fuck, dude. Oh, you didn't, you didn't equip the, okay, I got you. And then I also was another part where, um, where when you, where you meet Liaris mom, uh, you're like, if you went a certain way, you wouldn't have had to kill the people inside the building because you have to blow the building up to eradicate all of the, uh,
Starting point is 00:56:18 those, those, Iraqne. So I went the wrong way and then I ended up blowing the building first. They were like, I'm sorry. We have this. So I fought them. And I killed everyone in the, in the, in the, heat sink. I killed everyone there. And then I went to Learra's mom. And she was like, I see you left no survivors. And I was just like, yeah. Hey, man, just keep leaning into that renegade then.
Starting point is 00:56:42 You know, just keeping a cut. I don't want to be a renegade, bro. I want to be nice. I try to be nice. And I get Paragon. I'm like, yay, this is good Paragon. But it doesn't change. I just stay a renegan. Oh, because, well, yeah, you didn't get you, you, like those, those moments, right, they fucking matter. Like, that one with the grenades, you get such a big chunk of renegade versus Paragon. Like those things are really going to change the meter, you know? I can't help. It's like fucking all the way down here.
Starting point is 00:57:10 And I'm like, bro, I'm not even being bad. I'm picking nice choices. I'm not threatening people. I'm just trying to be a good person. And it does. It never works, man. It's hilarious. All right.
Starting point is 00:57:20 Last thing I want to ask you about this. Did you have the interview with a reporter? Yeah. What did you do? I, um, oh no, I didn't go back to Citadel yet. I haven't gone back to Citadel. I know that I agreed to willing to have it though, but I haven't gone back to the Citadel yet. Oh, so you didn't have an interview with her?
Starting point is 00:57:39 You didn't like... Not yet. Interesting. Okay. Well, make sure you go do that. Make sure you do that. Yeah, definitely do that. Why is that so important? I saw that on the freaking ready. Wait, wait, wait, wait. So is that in every game? Is that in every massify game?
Starting point is 00:57:53 Because I had that, I had that moment and I didn't play the first one. Which was the reporter? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. It's in every game. That's hilarious. Yeah. It's at every game.
Starting point is 00:58:03 So that's great. I love that. I love that even more. I love that game, man. I don't really like it. I want to play it right now. So Sweeney loves Mass Effect. We've got another convert.
Starting point is 00:58:11 This is now a uniformly mass effect supporting podcast. Now you have to play all of the halos, Derek, so he can have another backing of Keith David. Well, he likes Keith David. Yeah, I mean. No, you have to entirely like Keith David. Well, okay, so I've, you know, yeah, I've skipped around. And look, and look, I didn't, I don't think, I didn't really want to talk about this because I feel like it would really upset Chris. Because I, since I want to, I enjoy Halo, I really do.
Starting point is 00:58:49 But since I kind of want to hurry up and get to the next place, I'm like, fuck, I wish he would go a little bit. it faster. It doesn't even mean for the combat. It's just for I want to get to the next area and I feel like I'm in fucking quicksand, not quicksand, but you know it's just, it's just I, like, I know you're totally against that.
Starting point is 00:59:13 But it's just like, yo, I'm trying to, like I'm like, okay, cool, I just fucked everybody up. No, yeah, yeah, yeah. I got to get to the other side of the map and I'm like fuck, I don't have a word of it called Wirthog or whatever. Yeah, yeah. No, I understand. I'm not, I'm not, uh, I, I, I, I, actually understand because I remember I asked I was the same way when I was a kid and I was like oh yeah
Starting point is 00:59:32 like I fucking why am I not fucking moving fast like it's annoying and then I got moving fast and then I was like oh no it's like it's just ruined it but but I will say though uh on PC where you can bump the FOV like way high it feels way less slow like it feels significantly faster with like a a higher FOV. Because I remember even feeling because dude like I yeah honestly the FOV is like half the sensation
Starting point is 01:00:04 of speed like sincerely because I remember like playing Halo 3 for like a really long time and I was like I love this game but I do feel slow and it's and it's kind of annoying because I know that this game is fast
Starting point is 01:00:16 based on just like the the fire fights that happened but in between when it feels like you're not moving as much as you can it's annoying and then I remember they put the FOV
Starting point is 01:00:25 slider in three and you bump it up and it's like holy shit it actually feels like you're running the whole time it's almost like it's it's less that it's less that i should have i should have always worded this argument this way it's less that i don't want sprint in halo and more that i want you to always be sprinting i want it to be you are running full speed and you never have to put your gun down that is because that's how it's how it is it's just the effort V is just so fucking tight. It's so small. It's really rough.
Starting point is 01:01:00 So I totally get it. It makes sense. That makes sense. Yeah, all that makes sense. And that's, that was my only because I, I had the Master Chief collection, but I never used
Starting point is 01:01:11 the code on my Xbox. And then I finally bought it, I think, sometime, I don't know, like a year ago. Did you get it on Steam? I bought it on Steam. And I didn't do anything, though, because I just started playing it and I was getting into it.
Starting point is 01:01:25 I'm like, cool. like I'm a fan I'm like I like the game playing stuff like that but then I just I'm like fuck I gotta come let me let me get to the next part and kill people like let me let me go Yeah I I know it's it's all
Starting point is 01:01:40 FOV man easily it's all yeah I gotta fuck with it It's crazy because I remember playing it's like this feels like doom now Like just this the speed of it it's like Exactly it's so shocking what Difference the FOV makes and it's frustrating Sweeney and I Sweeney was and I were talking about this. It's frustrating that most first person games still don't have it.
Starting point is 01:02:01 Even Resident Evil Village on PC doesn't have it. Not that Resident Evil needs to be fast necessarily, but I do, I hate the, the claustrophobic vision of, of, uh, just like that, those low FOVs.
Starting point is 01:02:14 Do you guys, have you guys ever played Battlefield Bad Company like the original? No. I only, I only played the second one. Battlefield Bad Company looks like someone, took gameplay of a first-person shooter and zoomed in on it to a fucking unsettling degree.
Starting point is 01:02:32 The FOV in that game is pain-inducing, which sucks because Battlefield is awesome, and Battlefield Bad Company, specifically like Bad Company too, is great. And I know the first one, the first one just made me nauseous, man. It just looked like you were looking through a fucking... It's like trying to play a game through Bronoculars. That's insane. It's real bad, but... I never played bad company.
Starting point is 01:02:58 I was... All I got to say is that, just play... Just play Arbiter's parts. That's all. Well, look, okay, so here's... Here's the thing, like, so for... So, what the funny thing is, I never played two. I played a decent amount of three
Starting point is 01:03:17 because when it came out, I was living with my friends that were Xbox fanatics, so... Yeah, yeah. It's like, oh, let's do co-op, let's do this stuff. So I played a... quite a bit of it, but since me jumping into it, I didn't even know the story, didn't really understand what's happening. I didn't even care about, like, I wasn't, like, say, the biggest fan of Keith David at that time.
Starting point is 01:03:37 I liked Keith David, but I wasn't like, say, oh, my God, it's Keith David. I need to stick around and, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. When I got in my 20s, when I really started to appreciate his work. I didn't know who Keith David was when I was a kid playing Halo either. You know Keith David was as soon as I watched Gargoyles. I was like this gargoy was something I knew his I knew his voice and stuff
Starting point is 01:03:58 and I'm like oh that's that's fucking that's Goliath and shit like it's something like that but it didn't it wasn't like dude that's Keith David that aura but yeah it's it's definitely it's definitely yeah it's one of those things Halo is one of those things where it is
Starting point is 01:04:14 I feel a little bit shameful that I haven't played at least one through three in its entirety like I've beaten reach which I really enjoyed Reach was good. And then I... Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:26 I really like that. This might be... I might get a lot of Iyer from this. Hmm. You could probably skip one. Yeah, you think so? You could probably skip one. I wouldn't skip one, but you can skip it.
Starting point is 01:04:37 I enjoy one for what it is, but it has aged the worst. It is like... Not that it's like still, it's still playable. It's not like Golden Eye bad, you know? I think Golden Eye still playable too, honestly. Well, Golden Eyes playable on PC for sure. But like, I'm talking about just like as a... if you played Halo with the original controls that it was based that it was designed for
Starting point is 01:05:01 and you play Golden Eye with the original controls that it was designed for, GoldenEye has aged significantly worse. That is just true. Would you agree? I definitely, it's that controller for Golden Eye, man. But that's what I'm saying. Like Golden Eye as a game on PC, like I remember Vosh when he was doing his charity stream. By the way, I popped in on that first.
Starting point is 01:05:25 a little bit. You can see me, it's me, your movie sucks and him just chatting about old video games. But when he was playing it, he was playing the PC version with a mouse and keyboard, and it was like, that looks great. But, you know, the original NCC4 version is not. Lately, car buying has become a pretty dull experience. But on eBay, behind every car in part is a story waiting to be shared. There was a guy who bought a 2020 Porsche Cayman GT4 on eBay.

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.

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.
Starting point is 01:07:28 Has not aged well, whereas I feel like the opposite is true for, I feel like HALOCE on the original Xbox is probably like the best version of it that exists. But, yeah, I don't know. It's just, it's the most jank and the most old and the most elderly and the most clearly, you know, not up to modern standards. I like it, but it's my least favorite. For a number of reasons. But that's enough about that nerdy shit. Because we got to talk about a huge anniversary that happened this year. Shrek.
Starting point is 01:08:04 Oh, shit. Shrek is 20 years old, which is gross. Hey now. Saw that movie in theaters, bro. Did you? I don't remember if I did. I think I might have. I definitely did it.
Starting point is 01:08:20 I didn't get a fuck about Shrek. like not that much. I love. Shrek was funny as fuck, man. Trek was good, but I don't like, oh, fine, can't we see that in theater? Yeah, I don't know. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:31 Do you not agree that Strike 2 was probably one of the best equals of all time? I hate when people, come on, man. Like, there's too many, it's too many goddamn good films. There's way too many good films.
Starting point is 01:08:44 Derek 2 was an amazing. Excuse me, sorry. Strike 2. You're not. Unironically, no joke, no joke. Have you seen Godfather, too? God, I hate, people are going to come at me. See, exactly.
Starting point is 01:09:00 That's what I'm talking about. But I hate the Godfather movies. I watched them. You're a dumb bitch. Me and my grandma. Me and my grandma. You're a dumb bitch. Now look, look, let me explain.
Starting point is 01:09:10 You're a dumb bitch. Peter Griffin contrarian, aren't you? I'm not a Peter Griffin contrarian. That movie did not make sense to me. I was like, oh, it's about families and like bloodlines and respected. stuff and I was just like I watched it with my grandmother because my grandmother was like I everyone tells me I should like this movie too and I watched one with her and we watched two together it was like eight hours of our fucking day and I was just like these movies are not really that
Starting point is 01:09:37 enjoyable and she was like yeah I'd rather watch the fucking 10 commandments and I was like okay chill grandma well no hold on hold on Derek Derek Derek it's not it's not it's not it's not it's not his fault because it's genetic now. We know it's a genetic problem. My grandmother hates that movie too. I watch it and I was like, I don't like this movie very much. It has really, really, really good music and it's shot very well. It has really like nice, like the music, like the scores are nice. It's shot well. It's like really nice shots. It's like, oh, this is like mafia shots. Whoa, that's cool, but I don't care about that movie. I'm sorry. I think Shrek 2's better than Godfather 2. I'm sorry. Here's one thing. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:10:20 Here's one thing that I will say I love the first Godfather quite a bit I think it's a great movie I think Strike 2 is better than Godfather 2 Let's go Let's go You're hurt Yeah
Starting point is 01:10:33 No no See here's the thing Here's the thing He's so upset The way that No look at listen This is what I think you guys are doing It's like there's some films
Starting point is 01:10:46 Like listen to fucking What are the math No, there's a lot of films out there that are fantastic And I enjoy trash more than like What you would call like the way that Scorsese portrayed like the MCU is like theme parks Like where it's like they're not good movies But they're really enjoyable
Starting point is 01:11:09 Like meaning that like When you actually think about the type of effort in time And love and care and type of you know quality That's put into like masterpieces like Godfather or something like that And then you put like here's here's Shrek 2. Hey, this is really funny and quirky and enjoyable. It's a good movie man. As far as quality and the type of like it's it's it's kind of it's well first of all
Starting point is 01:11:34 Not really compare. Hold on, hold on. Not really. It's putting them together is kind of silly. Hold on. Or pin them against each other. I will say that. That is it's hard to compare a comedy to a drama in in any way really.
Starting point is 01:11:45 Like it's it's kind of difficult to say that like like I personally I think good Fellas is like a... Yes, I was going to say that. It's better than both the godfather movies. That's just... Well, it's a... It just has a little bit of everything. Yeah, Goodfellas is fucking great.
Starting point is 01:12:02 Like, I love that. Goodfellas is definitely the best one. But, you know, comparing Goodfellas to... Oh my God, I don't even know, like, fucking... Get out? No, not even get out. Like... Dude, Shrek 2 is pretty much just get out, bro.
Starting point is 01:12:16 That's crazy. That's so insane, man. there's strike two is a great fucking movie man i'm sorry i i just don't like i is a great movie i watched it recently i watched it recently like maybe a few months ago i was at i was at a hotel and yeah i enjoyed watching shrek too but i don't think like man this fucking kills all the fucking scorsesey film i don't think like i would i would say it does i would go as far to say That is so fucking stupid. That is out of pocket.
Starting point is 01:12:49 I go as far to say it does, man. I think Strike 2 is such a fantastic way with a fantastic soundtrack. Great cast. Great pacing. Donkey becomes a stallion, bro. They make Donkey a stallion. And Shrek becomes hands. Okay, okay, okay.
Starting point is 01:13:03 He just becomes fucking. Go ahead. I don't want to. I was about to get races right now. Let's go. Donkey isn't in Shrek to. Yeah, he is. No, Donkey is.
Starting point is 01:13:14 is in Shrek 2. Don't say donkey was in Shrek 2, you fucking idiot. Oh, I said donkey. My bad. I didn't mean to say donkey. Whatever. Donkey. The donkey.
Starting point is 01:13:25 The animal. The animal is instructed. One joke in that movie, one joke in that movie that always fucks me up is when they're getting arrested on that old cops show. And they're grinding pepper on their eyes. Yeah. I fuck.
Starting point is 01:13:43 Dude, I love. love that movie. That movie's... I'll say... I'll say... The reason why I argue all the time that Shrek 2 is one of... is probably the best sequel, like, of all time, is this and this reason alone. When you take the first Shrek movie and realize that
Starting point is 01:13:58 okay, this is good. You know, this is fun. It's funny. You know, it's fine. Like, there's nothing overtly remarkable about Shrek other than, like, it's a bit subversive for the time, and it's kind of... It's a little meta and referential in ways that, like, other animated movies weren't at that time.
Starting point is 01:14:16 And that's cool. That's like unique and interesting. But Shrek 1 overall is just like a fairly enjoyable movie and not much else. But then Shrek 2 happens. And it's just endlessly entertaining. As opposed to like Spider-Man 2, which is I love that movie with all my fucking heart. The jump in quality between Spider-Man 1 and Spider-Man 2 is huge. But Spider-Man 1 is still super, super, super good.
Starting point is 01:14:48 And I think that's what we're talking about. The jump between, like, Shrek, the first Shrek doesn't deserve Shrek 2, but it has it. Lately, car buying has become a pretty dull experience. But on eBay, behind every car in part is a story waiting to be shared. There was a guy who bought a 2020 Porsche-Caeman GT4 on eBay.

Visit for thepeople.com for an office near you.
Starting point is 01:16:48 You know what I mean? It definitely does. I kind of feel like the guardian right now, dude. Like, I'm just like, what the, because look it, I don't have a problem with Shrek at all. You love your fucking mobster movies, bro, and it's fine, man. What's happening here? It's fine, bro. Look, look, look, it's, it reminds me of this.
Starting point is 01:17:04 It reminds me of my friend, not understanding how I can enjoy fast, fast, five through 900 whatever like all the latest ones when he says when we can watch movies like Predator and fucking John Wick how the fuck could you watch a garbage action film like this and multiple times if that
Starting point is 01:17:22 because I enjoy that garbage a lot more times than stuff where I really have to pay attention to it where like I understand how much you enjoy Shrek 2 but I can't say it's like I pulled up I pulled up a list because I wanted to see what people say
Starting point is 01:17:39 in general, the best sequels. And of course, number one is Gone Father, too. That's hilarious. And then Empire Strikes Back. Bride of Frankenstein, which I wasn't expecting at all. It's fucking old-ass film. I've seen that movie one... I've seen that movie one time pretty recently. I've never seen it. I'm not going to see
Starting point is 01:17:54 1930s. I saw Bride. They're awful. Old movies are awful, dude. It's not a single black person in that movie, bro. Not one. Let's you say Frankenstein. Young... Young Frankenstein is great. That's the shit, dude.
Starting point is 01:18:09 I love Millbrook's films. They're all good. Young, Ferguson is ridiculous. What else he got on? Oh, so aliens is at number four, which I wasn't expecting. But I... Sequel? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:21 Aliens is aliens. Aliens is... Is that two? Is the sequel? Yeah, that's the sequel. Aliens. This shouldn't be here, Avengers Endgame. I think it's a good sequel.
Starting point is 01:18:33 It's not the best. As far as all time on this list right here, this is fucking crazy. It shouldn't be on a list. And then it gets worse. What the, okay, I like, I'm okay with the Dark Night being on here. The Winter Soldiers on here. The Winter Soldier is a good fucking movie, like, no cat. Dude, it's a great spy thriller.
Starting point is 01:18:52 I had fun watching that fucking movie. I just wouldn't put it the greatest movie singles of all time. What are you talking about? I love that movie, but... Shrek 2 belongs there. Look at, look it. If you want to put Shrek 2, like, somewhere in that list, I wouldn't be mad. but I just wouldn't want to put it on top
Starting point is 01:19:09 Like that's that just seems fucking That just seems like you're You're taking Like it's let's put it this way Kind of like You know there's certain things you can do Like getting Getting a blowjob
Starting point is 01:19:23 Which requires no effort whatsoever You just lay back and you do your thing And then there's Performing Sexual Intercourse Which takes a lot of effort And it takes There's extra stuff into it And there's intricacy and stuff
Starting point is 01:19:35 And there's a lot of people that would prefer just getting sucked off than banging because of that very reason where it's just like, I'm just having a good time. There's nothing. I don't have to invest anything to it. I can shut my brain off and laugh it. And you know what I'm saying? I feel like, say, the Godfather part two is like having sex and Shrek 2 is like getting a blowjob, dude.
Starting point is 01:19:57 I don't, I don't like that movie, man. I'm sorry. I'm not even trying to be like a country. I don't like that theme of movie. I don't like that theme of movie. I like Scorsese because he makes he makes good films, you know. He's a master.
Starting point is 01:20:11 He's a master at writing really tense scenes. Like when it comes to like when some shit's about to happen, like when they fucking Godfather won, one of the most famous lines ever. That whole scene when he's like, you come to me on a day of my daughter's wedding, that's a great fucking scene. Like I know when I'm seeing good movie making being done.
Starting point is 01:20:31 I just don't feel that when I watch those movies. I'm like, okay, I'm watching this. This is very boring. This is a very boring film to me. Yeah. I need to say something first, though. Because, you know, we were talking about Scorsese films
Starting point is 01:20:43 because, like, he most, no more, he normally does mob stuff. But I feel people are probably going to be screaming, if I don't say that Coppola did Godfather. I need to put that out there because somebody is going to fucking go nuts. Oh, it's not Gorsese? No. No, not Godfather.
Starting point is 01:21:00 Oh, I thought it was Scorsese. My bad. I was wrong. I brought up Scorsese in general, because you also mentioned. The fellas. Yes. And just anything else he does, it just has fucking mob people saying the N-word.
Starting point is 01:21:11 That's just like, that's just go to. Yeah. That's just go to. They just really don't like us that much. Don't get it. Just don't get it. Yeah. I mean, whatever.
Starting point is 01:21:22 Look it, man. Look it. Okay. That's fine. I guess. It's not, it's hard for me to cope with that because it's one of those things where if you were, maybe I feel like if you get, gave it one other shot and you're just like, I just don't like this, then I'd leave it alone.
Starting point is 01:21:39 Because I almost feel like you and your grandma were just talking shit and not paying attention in the movie at all. I was just, my guy, I could believe that. I could believe that. He was just speaking in Spanish. And I was just like, grandma, what the fuck are they saying? And she's like, she's like, what is this about? And I'm like, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:21:53 It's something about family and respect. And family and respect. Yeah, so you just weren't watching it. I was watching it. I was like, this is really boring. I live with you. I've seen the way you consume media. You don't watch things.
Starting point is 01:22:04 You have things on as you. You do other things. I watch things that are good. No, no, no, no. You watch all sorts of, you watch all sorts of garbage. I watch things that are good. You watch, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I want, I consume garbage.
Starting point is 01:22:17 Yes, I consume videos of people getting kicked my horses. No, no, no, no, no, no, watch. No. No, don't, you can't win this. I've watched you. I've watched you watch things on Netflix that no one else has seen. Because why would they click? You saw the clown movie where the dude like gets up.
Starting point is 01:22:39 Shut up, shut up, let me finish. You watch, he watched, I'll put it into context. A bunch of friends of ours were over at our apartment, and we were just like looking for something to watch on Netflix to kill time and just hang out and, you know, have a good time. And we saw this movie about a dude who finds an old clown suit. He puts it on and he slowly starts to become a clown. And in that movie, it's explained that clowns were actually old school
Starting point is 01:23:05 demons called cloins that like just all of this ridiculous shit all of this ridiculous shit and we saw it and we were making fun fun of the description and making fun of the trailer it's like oh we should watch this and Kingston walks out into the living room and says oh I've seen this one
Starting point is 01:23:26 is I consume a lot of movies I just watch it you know I watch that movie dude for some reason I don't know why I know that whole movie. Yo. I know that whole movie, bro. I look, I don't like cloyne. I don't think it's a good movie.
Starting point is 01:23:48 It was literally, it was literally one day I was at my girlfriend's house and we were doing the same thing you guys were doing. And like, let's watch the Cloin and we watched it. And she was like, I've never wasted so much time in my life. And I was like, I like that. And she was just like, what the, what are you talking about? is you've seen too much garbage to not like the godfather. At least the first one.
Starting point is 01:24:10 Like the two is like... I don't like... It's very different, but it's still... Yeah. It's if you're into that type of shit, it's a very good fucking movie, right? But like the first one, yeah, it has all the iconic shit. I mean, goddamn, dude,
Starting point is 01:24:25 Gen Z and everybody now knows, like, look how they massacred my boy. Like, that's... My boy! Like, that's a good line. That is such a... It's such a great... Like my favorite one was when they showed and now you guys got to help me it showed two different
Starting point is 01:24:39 snakes asses on a smash it was like two different smashes i don't know which ones they were it was like melee it's like maybe ultimate and uh bra yeah yeah it showed that and then they showed his ass was different they like kind of smooth it was it was less thick and then they didn't cheek him out and they didn't cheek him out and ultimate corleone like really fucking disappointed it's because they massacreed his ass and i'm like i love it i love that like this is around from such an old fucking movie. Yeah. I'll watch it again.
Starting point is 01:25:11 I'm probably not going to like it. You're not going. Especially going, don't fucking. Just don't. I'll watch it. No, no, no, no, no. No, no. I'll watch it because if I like something,
Starting point is 01:25:20 I'll just admit I like it. If I sit down and I watch it. Like, you guys were talking about mass effects so much and I was like, I don't know, I'll give it a shot when I give it a shot. And I gave it a shot and I love it. Yeah. I mean, I'm going to give this a shot.
Starting point is 01:25:33 This is definitely different because it. Okay, I'll say this. Movies like that, you really have to be in the mood to fucking watch movies like that. I mean, I'll watch like a Godfather or, like, say, I've seen that a parted a million times. I love that movie. Yeah. So I think that's like it's a much better pace for, I can sit down and watch this. But, yeah, Godfather, I'll watch that once a decade or something, you know?
Starting point is 01:26:00 Yeah, yeah. And I'll be like, oh, that's really good. But I can't fucking just see it on TV. I'm going to sit down. I won't even watch it. It's like Schindler's list. It's not a movie you pop on for a good time. You know, like, it's not, it's not exactly like. I watch it tonight. I watch it tonight. I watch it. I'll pop on Godfather tonight and I'll sit down and I'll just watch it. I'll turn off my phone. Just play my phone. You're better off. You're better off playing
Starting point is 01:26:21 Magic. I'll turn off my phone and I'll just watch it. Yeah, I remember I had to, I had to wait until I was in the mood to watch the Irishman when that when that came out. Because I was like, I know I'm going to like this, but I know like I've got. gotta set aside time to like actually digest it. I watched that movie by myself. I watched that movie completely by myself. Yeah, I don't see it yet. It's really good. It's really good.
Starting point is 01:26:45 I'm sure it is just because who's in it and who it's by. But you got to tell me this. How many inwards are in that movie? Not as much as the usual, actually. It's a little less. That's weird. I don't. It's been a while since I've seen it.
Starting point is 01:26:57 I don't remember hearing. Bro, I hear, and dog, you know it's crazy. You know it's crazy. Let me hear you drop some real shit on you One of my first like real girlfriends Is an Italian girl and the Italian Say nigger that much bro They say nigger a lot
Starting point is 01:27:12 Like I heard that shit so much Just in passing by her family I would just be around place I would just hear nigger and I'm like I guess they feel more comfortable now Because someone's dating a black person And it wasn't even only one person day in a black person It'd be like three daughters
Starting point is 01:27:28 And he's like nigger no offense You feel me I no offense yeah I don't mean anything by you know be he's a nigga and I'm just like yeah I guess that sounds that I believe that sentence I'm like that sentence I believe like without a doubt because I'd be like I'm not gonna fight your whole family right now for you call them saying nigga in front of me I'm just gonna shut up you can't I'm just gonna shut up and deal with this you can't fight an Italian family an Italian family lose like they all they have like it's it's it's every every single Italian movie
Starting point is 01:27:58 show or anything is just literally it's about family and food that's it's it's and respect. Respect is third on the list, though. Like, it's... Definitely third. It's definitely family and fucking sauce. Those are like the two major things. Any fucking Italian flick or anything.
Starting point is 01:28:18 It's like the Game of Thrones books. It's like the Game of Thrones books with the food. It's just like they'll be like... Like, it's six chapters just explaining how like moist the fucking canoli is. Like, look, man. Like, look. All I know is Erica. I didn't know she was the fan.
Starting point is 01:28:33 a fan of the tar babies, no niggins. She's like, they ain't niggins. And I'm like, no offense, Kingston. I'm like, lately, car buying has become a pretty dull experience. But on eBay, behind every car in part is a story waiting to be shared. There was a guy who bought a 2020 Porsche Kaman GT4 on eBay. It was well loved. There are plenty of Kaman's in great condition on eBay, but this one needed some work. That's just the start of the story. So after this guy gets a great deal on his dream car, he rebuilds the whole thing with all these parts he found on eBay. Performance brakes, suspension, body panels, the works, guaranteed to fit. Next thing you know, this nearly scrapped Cayman was out there on the track as a full-blown
Starting point is 01:29:14 race car. You're ready to go daily driver, your next Restamod. Hello, Lodda Salon, hand the parts to finish it. eBay has thousands of cars and is the largest online selection of vehicle parts and accessories. eBay. Things people love.

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 badder and our army grows.
Starting point is 01:30:01 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.
Starting point is 01:30:18 24-7, 365. Wow. Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's Large Injury Lawfram, thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit for the people.com for an office near you. Oh

Starting point is 01:30:52 Because I know people are gonna be like That's not funny And I'm like It's hilarious Anyway there is just so we can move off of Shrek and get into questions there's a there is a really funny article by the Guardian about
Starting point is 01:31:05 about Shrek it's called Shrek at 20 an unfunny overrated low blockbuster animation and it's just it's very weird because it's just some angry person like weirdly they have like an axe to grind with this movie for some reason even though it's like ancient and nobody really talks
Starting point is 01:31:26 like even the memes about Shrek have died out pretty much entirely now. Like, I mean, you know, you'll see an occasional... Like, I remember back when like that picture meme was going on. I was like, yep, that's going in the cringe compilation. I was literally thinking about that right now, yeah. That was going around for a while. And like, really, the only thing that I've seen in the last, like, couple years is just every now and again,
Starting point is 01:31:48 the I Need a Hero sequence will trend on Twitter because it's a fucking great sequence. But that's like... It's hilarious. That's as far as it goes. That's the whole sequence with the fucking When they're storming the castle Is that the I need a hero part? Because I think that's the beginning of it is that
Starting point is 01:32:05 And at the end they're just like doing a slow motion run And then they're all running really fast That's the scene That whole sequence is legendary bro There's some fun Some fun Things in the works regarding that Sequence that I don't
Starting point is 01:32:19 I shouldn't say more about But Yeah we can't say much more about it Let's move on to some questions, huh? Let's do it Let's go on to our beautiful patrons over here. My beautiful boy. My beautiful baby boy.
Starting point is 01:32:32 My beautiful baby boy. Ethan Cox is sadly my name. Oh, man. I'm sorry, man. Well, he wrote in. That's pretty cool. He wrote, hello, Dick. No, it's not.
Starting point is 01:32:43 He says, hello, Dick, Richard, and Johnson. First-time patron and question asker. And I'm curious, what are some games you have started but never finished? Your mom. Last of us, too. Did you say your mom? It's fucking disrespectful. bullshit.
Starting point is 01:32:58 You didn't finish the last of us part two? No, I've not. Not finished it yet. Damn. I stuck it out. I actually beat it. You didn't even play it, Derek. You watched it.
Starting point is 01:33:07 You watched it. Come on, come on. Isn't that in Shrek? Yeah, it is. Yeah, it is. Yeah, no, whatever. But, I mean, but Abby, so play, finish it. Abby, I'd be kind of hot, but, you know.
Starting point is 01:33:26 Okay. She brought her than me, that makes me scared. You know, can I have a moment? Let me change subject. That old lady was kind of thick. I'm just saying. The old lady that's in the village and eight, she kind of bad. Wait, what are you talking about?
Starting point is 01:33:39 The old lady? The old lady? The old lady. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Who's the old lady? Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.
Starting point is 01:33:46 Hold on. The hag that, like, shows up every now and again? Yeah. You do realize that we know that woman. Wait, what? The woman in Resident Evil 8 who plays like this. hag character that's like kind of throughout the game, we've met her. What do you mean?
Starting point is 01:34:02 She's friends with our friend Elliot. She teaches at the school. Oh my God, is that? What's her name? Oh, my God. Oh, it's Carol. God damn it. I just, I've overstepped.
Starting point is 01:34:16 You see, I overstepped. I overstepped and I did sign wrong. She is kind of hot, though. Oh, man. I overstepped. I've seen nothing wrong with this. fucking anyway I don't even like what even was that
Starting point is 01:34:32 what was that transition that you just did it was awful it just came out of nowhere but I'm I'm with it I'm here for it yeah I'm not cutting that out games that you played and you didn't finish
Starting point is 01:34:43 that I didn't that's what that's I mean there's a lot yeah I have like a fucking where do you even want to begin like uh I never finished Uncharted 3 uh
Starting point is 01:34:53 I never finished I never finished any of the Metro games even though I like them a lot Never finished Breath of the Wild Yes, same Understandable Never finished Metal Gear Solid 5 I never, there's like a
Starting point is 01:35:09 I can't even quant like the list is Enormous because in order For me to like really finish a game And like see it all the way through I have to really like it Like it has to be something that grabs me And holds me for the entirety Of the length of the game
Starting point is 01:35:25 that they're trying to get me through. Like, I'm not necessarily, like, a completionist. I don't go for, like, trophies or achievements, really. Like, I used to. I used to do that when I was, like, a kid, and I had, like, a lot of time. But, you know, I don't know. Something like, like, Red Dead Redemption 2 is probably a game that I wouldn't have even, I probably wouldn't have even finished it when I was younger because I was just like.
Starting point is 01:35:48 Lately, car buying has become a pretty dull experience. But on eBay, behind every car in part is a story waiting. to be shared. There was a guy who bought a 2020 Porsche Cayman GT4 on eBay. It was well loved. There are plenty of Caymans in great condition on eBay, but this one needed some work. That's just the start
Starting point is 01:36:07 of the story. So after this guy gets a great deal on his dream car, he rebuilds the whole thing with all these parts he found on eBay. Performance brakes, suspension, body panels, the works, guaranteed to fit. Next thing you know, this nearly scrapped Cayman was out there on the track as a
Starting point is 01:36:23 full-blown race car. You're ready to daily driver, your next Restamond. Hello, Lotus Alon, hand the parts to finish it. eBay has thousands of cars and is the largest online selection of vehicle parts and accessories. eBay. Things people love. 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 01:36:48 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 it. 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 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 to an accident probably the easiest way is dialing pound law that's pound 529 from your cell phone we are always open or our call center is always waiting to take your call 24-7 365 wow dan morgan from morgan from
Starting point is 01:37:32 america's large injury law firm thanks for coming by the show thanks for having me visit for the people dot com for an office near you yeah i wasn't super into cowboy shit but like because i was doing sacred symbols i was like i'll finish this and it was great but that was because that game was also just like a master class in writing that i was able to even stick it out for that long that's a long fucking game that's like an over 50-hour game i'm pretty sure that game was like 70 hours long. Yeah. If it's not, it's, it's damn close.
Starting point is 01:38:00 Like, it's a fucking long game. And I find that a lot of games just kind of lose me. I feel like a lot of games overstay they're welcome, man. They're too long. They don't have enough new things to throw at you for the duration of time that they ask you to play. Like, that's how I felt about the Last of Us too. Like, I, the Last of Us Part 2, I should say.
Starting point is 01:38:19 Not the Last of Us also. But the Last of Us part 2 is like 30 hours long, 20, five hours long, but those last 10 hours, not even from a narrative perspective, but from a gameplay perspective, it doesn't really give you anything new to play with or new to
Starting point is 01:38:37 think about. Do you remember those zombies on chains? Yeah, they had to shoot them and they would like, want and grab people? That comes up in the last 30 minutes of the game, and it's like why would you, I just spent like nine hours dealing with the same
Starting point is 01:38:55 old shit that the first 10 hours helped started establishing, and then you introduce this new mechanic that is used in this one area before the ending. Like, why didn't you throw that in when I was starting to get into this next second 10 hours? Like, I don't know, like, a lot of games just overstay they're welcome to me. And I know, Zelda was one of those things, too. Honestly, I hate to admit it, but like, I just sort of ran out of things to find in Zelda. Like, the physics were cool, and I had fun doing that, but Did you go to Gannon's tower or castle? I finished like two of the divine beasts and then I was just wandering and I was like,
Starting point is 01:39:35 I don't even remember what the fuck I was doing. That game shines. Trust me, Gannon's castle, like I, like, I understand. Like, people are like, oh, I didn't like breath of a while because I got bored. I explored the whole game and I'm like, I'm pretty sure I have like 800 karak seeds. But Gannon's fucking castle, it shows you where pretty much all the development went into it. And it's insane. It's like a really well-done dungeon.
Starting point is 01:39:58 I am willing to just believe that at face value. I'm sure that's true because that makes a lot of sense. But at the same time, it's like... It's the same thing with, like, Final Fantasy. When, like, when I was a kid, I just wasn't into Final Fantasy. It just wasn't my thing. Even Seven. Like, I loved Seven's, like, soundtrack and the characters were cool,
Starting point is 01:40:15 but, like, I just didn't care for, like, the turn-based mechanics. It just, like, it wasn't my jam. Like, especially at that time when I just wanted, like, something that was a little bit faster. I was playing, like, Doom and shit on PC, you know? but even back then I was like people would tell me like play Final Fantasy like fucking 8 or or 10 or whatever the hell it gets really good
Starting point is 01:40:37 30 hours in and it's like I'm not gonna what? That's nuts that people told you that yeah yeah by the way I'm not saying that people said this about like the specific games I mentioned I just can't remember what the fuck they were talking about but like I've heard this before where it's like oh it gets really good
Starting point is 01:40:56 like this far end And it's like, that's great. I'm glad you like it, but like I just don't have the patience. It needs, something needs to grab me. If something doesn't grab me in the first 10 to 10 to 30, 45 minutes, I'm probably putting the game down. That's how it feels for me. That's what a lot of media has become in general. Particularly for me, that's what anime is.
Starting point is 01:41:19 That is what anime is as a whole entire medium for me. It's like, oh, One Piece gets good at episode 300. I watched episode like 700 and I was just like I'm tired of there being long segments of it not being great and then like oh five episodes it's amazing and I'm like wow I'm not watching 300 episodes for five episodes of really really really good yeah I just can't do that that's why I like Game of Thrones or like that's why I like things for me the premise itself has to get me like oh this is about superheroes like oh I like superheroes I'm already in there this is about magic or science I'm already in there like if it's not like Like, oh, this is a random show about something. And then like 30 minutes, like four episodes in it gets good. Like, I'm not going to watch that. I'm not putting myself through not enjoying a show until a moment where it's cool. Even, I mean, I know we already talked about it, but like fucking the show that Zach and Michael are working on.
Starting point is 01:42:14 That first episode is awesome. That first episode is great. And that's how... Within five minutes, he walks in a room and someone has a gun to his head. And it's like, bro, what? If my friends, people that I know, people who are basically my age who just fuck around and dick around with me at like bars and shit, if they can put out a first episode of something that is great, there's no excuse for why like a big fucking company with like a bunch of industry professionals can't do the same thing for like the first introductory sequence of a game or the first episode of a new show or the first entry of a new movie series. like there's just no excuse there's just like there's a talent
Starting point is 01:42:56 that some people have and then some people don't and well it's some people are just trying to follow an archaic formula where you got to build to you know you got to there's the three acts and you got to do this and I'm like nah man I that's why that's why me the god of war franchise
Starting point is 01:43:14 was one of my favorites because you start doing shit immediately and you fight a boss except for the fucking new one it starts off pretty fucking slow but I was like I'm already invested. I love the franchise. I know it's going to be good.
Starting point is 01:43:26 But the first three, like first you fight this fucking Hydra, like immediately. And then the second one, you fucking... You fight areas immediately. You find this colossus. And you're like,
Starting point is 01:43:36 what the fuck? Like this giant fucking statue. And that it's just like wild how they set this shit up where it immediately just draws you in. And I don't have to fucking, you know, due to some tutorial shit
Starting point is 01:43:49 that's leveling up and then I finally get it. You know, so I love that. Spider-Man. Spider-Man Insomniac. The fucking, um, the first Spider-Man game, and Miles Morales-Morales actually. Amazing starts the game.
Starting point is 01:43:59 They just throw you in. You're just in. You're just in. You're just in. You're just in. You're just in. You're just in. Dude, that's the best way to go about it.
Starting point is 01:44:05 Like even, and this isn't even necessarily like limited to action-oriented games, like, or games that are like fast-paced necessarily. Because there are a lot of slow-paced games that draw me in, too. Like, Death Stranding drew me in, like, pretty quickly, even though that's a really slow game. Fucking, um, shout to the Colossus is a great example, actually. because Shadow of the Colossus super simple. Like there's not like a bunch of like RPG mechanics. There's no like XP trees.
Starting point is 01:44:30 There's no like codex or anything. It's literally just it drops you into the world and you're just like alone. And it's just, you know, the environment and the atmosphere and like the soundtrack. And it's like, oh, this is great. I want to continue this. Even though nothing like action pact is happening, you know, something that's very clearly cool is happening. And well done. That's the same thing for me in Divinity.
Starting point is 01:44:55 Divinity is a fucking narrative like a point and click, like very computer-esque RPG game. And the game starts off with like some weird shit happening in lore and then bam. Like a boat you're on blows the fuck up. And you're like, whoa, what's going on? Like that's, like, you don't have to have a whole bunch of exhibition before it gets really engaging. I don't understand why things have been like that for so long and proceed to still be like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:22 It just annoys me. It just has to be good, man. And there's a lot of different ways that he could be good. Like Red Dead. Red Dead 2 just has you literally just walking slowly through the snow. But it's awesome. And, you know, like another game could do that too, and it would be absolute garbage. It's really all a matter of, like, execution and, like, you know, how solid the vision for the game is.
Starting point is 01:45:44 But there's a lot of games, man, that I just, even games that I kind of liked that I just, like, I don't know, they just kind of. Yeah. I just drift. I mean, I usually finished games. being an adult man being an adult it really because god damn just i remember even i i really compared to how many games i've beaten when i was young versus now and it's it's ridiculous now i know your job has a lot to do with completing games but if that weren't there it just like it just you you just you have too much shit to do as a fucking human adult and it sucks so we all get drawn into
Starting point is 01:46:22 the repetitive shit. I'm going to load up a match. I'm going to play a few matches or whatever then I'm going to fuck off. You know? You don't really have. You're going to go to your destiny. You're going to go to your smash, bros. The halos and things you can just turn on, play the game real quick. I know I'm going to be excited. I know I'm going to enjoy this. And then you turn it off. Yeah. I go
Starting point is 01:46:38 backwards to games that I know that I can play with half my brain not focusing on it. Like if it's a new game, like I can't just, I can't just jump. Exactly. It's, streaming Resident Evil Village is probably like
Starting point is 01:46:52 not the most challenging thing that I've done in a while but it's like it's very different because I'm used to streaming just games that I just intrinsically know so like doing new shit live in front of an audience like it's super hard
Starting point is 01:47:05 like trying to be like oh where does this puzzle piece go what's chat doing? It's jarring as fucking yeah it's not easy in Mass Effect like the fucking simple as well like the poses aren't hard in Mass Effect but like me getting confused
Starting point is 01:47:15 and I'm like fuck what the fuck did I remember I don't know this I don't know the strategy of this exactly it's weird it's weird it's I I've beaten that game a lot and I got stuck in the hot labs for a second. Yeah. I was talking to the chat and I'm like, wait.
Starting point is 01:47:33 And I felt embarrassed because I'm like, wait, I should know what to do and then I forgot. And it's just it's a weird thing. It is a weird thing. Even though like I, I, I, man, I'm going to start streaming more. But damn, I, I, I'm not a fan of playing new games like you said, Chris. that's, you also kind of, you miss a lot. Yeah, yeah, streaming helps you miss a lot of shit. Like, my first few games are games, like, I streamed Spider-Man,
Starting point is 01:48:03 and I streamed, um, breath of a while. Those two games already beat completely, like, twice. So I knew what I was doing, but when I started streaming, like, what else? When I streamed Miles Morales, I wasn't know what I was doing. Mass Effect, I don't know what the fuck I'm doing. Like, I try to play games I know that, like, I've played a ton of times. But, like, when I streamed something new, like, what Resdy, was a one-off because Resident Evil games
Starting point is 01:48:24 for the most part I understand them so I like I know how to play them and they don't take a lot of brain power because all does is walk around and circle make zombie follow you shoot it in the head that's always been pretty fine for me but like this game I just don't know what's going on sometimes and sometimes I'm like way too engrossed I'm like staring
Starting point is 01:48:40 at my screen and I'm like oh shit I'm streaming hey what's going on chat and I try to talk to people and I feel it feels weird yeah honestly like I don't know if I would have finished or even started Red Dead Red Dead Redemption 2 if I didn't have to play it for sacred symbols.
Starting point is 01:48:56 Interesting. Yeah. Because I just wasn't interested. I just didn't like the first one really that much. Like I like the character, but I didn't really like playing it. So I'm kind of glad I... I'm glad I have to do that sometimes
Starting point is 01:49:09 because it turns me on to some of my favorite shit. Definitely wouldn't have picked up Death Stranding. Let's see. Let's see. But, pa, pop, pap, pap, ba. What is this? Unwelcome ghost rodent. He says, Hello there, Hispanic teenage Anakin, every evil thought personified, and Jackson Briggs. I'd like to know. Who's Jackson Briggs?
Starting point is 01:49:36 Maybe me? Is that like lethal weapon? That's Jacks. That's Jacks. That's from World Kombat. From World Kombat. The metal arm dude. Black girl with the metal arms. Oh, gotcha. Who's? Bink. Who's the lethal weapon guy? That's Daniel Glover. Murdo?
Starting point is 01:49:54 Murdo? Murta? Oh, right. Oh, Riggs is fucking is Mel. Right, okay. I just got, my wires got completely crossed. Anyway, Unwelcome Ghost Road, and he says, I'd like to know what each of you think the worst male name and female name is.
Starting point is 01:50:16 Gretchen's terrible. I'm sorry. Tanner. There's a Gretchen watching us. Tanner is a horrible name. Tanner is a disgusting name. Tanner is an affront to God. I would be beaten up.
Starting point is 01:50:26 Tanner. I would have said Hunter, but I have a friend who's named Hunter. Meet Canyon. So I'm not going to say that. Hunter's nothing wrong with Hunter. Not anymore.
Starting point is 01:50:40 There's some good hunters. This is my son, Ranger. This is my son Ranger. That's stupid. That's stupid. Beast Master Ranger. You know, there's some names like that, like, gunner that pisses me off, where I'm like, stop it.
Starting point is 01:50:55 But I almost, I was going to, I was thinking about doing that too, though, just because my last name is pilot. And I was like, oh, infinite possibilities. I could, I could, if I have a son, I can name him something stupid, like fighter. Like fighter? You fucking piece of shit. You piece of shit. And then he would just kill me later because he's just. You put you in a nursing home way young.
Starting point is 01:51:16 You should name him You should name You should name your son Kamikaze Kamikaze I've heard that That'd be great The one that I actually Really would like
Starting point is 01:51:27 But there's a thing I think my son would probably Piss me up He would not like me But because if I named him Auto Like O TTO Like the actual name
Starting point is 01:51:35 Otto That's like a That's like a Polish Or some shit Autopilot Octavius Yeah So his name's
Starting point is 01:51:40 Autopilot And then I like it But I feel like He would be like Man Fuck you Dad I
Starting point is 01:51:46 I think that's genuinely a good name. I could have named you cunt, so shut up. You know? I think it's a good name. I like it too. I like it. I unironically, like, really like that. That's, like, really good.
Starting point is 01:52:00 See, that's what I'm talking about, man. My fucking lady better, you know, she, when I have a son and she's not, she's not down for that shit, we're not problems, man. I'm not to fucking slap up. Is Otto short for something? Octavius. Well, it could be. No, it's not. I think it is.
Starting point is 01:52:16 No, because you're saying Otto Octavius. Oh, my God, I am. I am thinking of that. That is the stupid. That might be the stupidest thing you've ever said. No, because Otto and Octavius go together in my brains are such a fucking comic book tard. That's amazing. That's why my brain's like, oh, it's short for Octavius, duh.
Starting point is 01:52:33 It has to be. Oh, my God. Is it sure for something? Because it doesn't sound like a full name to me. Well, no, as far as I know, it's just some fucking European names, Otto, like a, like a, like a Scandinavian name. Yeah, I guess it's, yeah, I guess it's literally just Otto. It's not like Ottoman or something. Ottoman, like the Empire.
Starting point is 01:52:55 Ottoman, Ottoman, I would have a name by some Ottoman Empire Pilot. Yeah, it's just a completely neutral name. Yeah, so I know it's weird. Me being a nigger, you know, from fucking, from America, naming my son Otto. It's a little different. Yeah, you're going to get a consistent up. Your son's going to get beat up for sure. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:53:16 I think it's a cool name, honestly. Oh yeah, I'm Robin. I'm Robin and Otto. That's it. That's it. Like, Otto's lunch money is my lunch money. I also thought about Ace because that's just like, anyone, everyone named, anyone name Ace is fucking cool.
Starting point is 01:53:31 Like, you're automatically cool. Automatically. Your name fucking. Wait, what are you saying? I would say that anybody. Lately, car buying has become a pretty dull experience. But on eBay, behind every car in part is a story. waiting to be shared. There was a guy who bought a 2020 Porsche Cayman GT4 on eBay. It was well loved.
Starting point is 01:53:53 There are plenty of Cayman's in great condition on eBay, but this one needed some work. That's just the start of the story. So after this guy gets a great deal on his dream car, he rebuilds the whole thing with all these parts he found on eBay. Performance brakes, suspension, body panels, the works, guaranteed to fit. Next thing you know, this nearly scrapped Cayman was out there on the track as a full-blown race car. ready-to-go daily driver, your next Restamod. Hello, Lotus Alon, hand the parts to finish it. eBay has thousands of cars and is the largest online selection of vehicle parts and accessories.
Starting point is 01:54:26 eBay. Things people love. I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan. Hey, how's it going today? It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan and Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I think I saw billboard of years recently that said 20 billion one. 20 billion is an insane number. Yeah, 20 billion recovered.
Starting point is 01:54:55 It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and badder and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. That's pound 529 from your cell phone.
Starting point is 01:55:15 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.
Starting point is 01:55:26 Visit furtherpeople.com for an office near you. Named Ace. What? People have to be called Ace for them to be cool. You can't just kind of have Ace as a name and just expect. Because what if your son, Ace, is born with, like, a shrively little leg? You know, that he's going to, is he's going to look. fucking ridiculous. Like, oh, there
Starting point is 01:55:47 comes Ace. Why would you put that fucking... Why would you put that energy even out there? Like, the fact that energy even entered the fucking battlefield is crazy. It's crazy. I feel like age is a cool name because I feel like name being named. Like, you take on
Starting point is 01:56:03 aspects of your name, you know? No, absolutely. That is... You take on aspects of your name. You know? Really percent true. Like, hey, man, I don't want to be like, like, it's like if your name is fucking Simon, you're most likely going to be a fucking nerd. Like, it's happens. It just happens. Got the chip mom.
Starting point is 01:56:19 Yeah, like the fucking nerdy chip. Like, dude, it's a nerd. Look, look it. I know a guy named Simon, but here's the thing. He didn't go by Simon because he knew. He knew Simon was a fucking nerd name. Like, seriously, I didn't know his name was Simon until we fucking graduated high school and I saw him in the yearbook. I was like, your fucking name's Simon? So are there just like neutral names? Like, what's, what's Chris? Like, what does that mean. Alex and Chris are neutral name. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:56:49 So is Derek, I think. I'll see Derek is a neutral name too. Derek is pretty neutral for the most part. But it is unfortunately a pretty white name from I'm learning. It is. And I'm like, what? I was like, Doug, like Derek Lewis, big black motherfucker from Houston's Texas, spells the same way.
Starting point is 01:57:04 I don't know. But name six more. Name six more Derek's that are black. Hold on. Hold on. He can't. But. I will say.
Starting point is 01:57:15 I met, in the last year, I can't remember exactly where it was, but I remember being taken aback by it. I meant like a really dark, like a really, like a black as, as knight, Ryan. And I've never seen that before in my life, sincerely. Ryan is a pretty, is a pretty unanimously cuckus. Ryan is like, every Ryan I've ever met has just been fucking ghostly. Or, or either ghostly. Like, there's not, I don't know any Hispanics. There's not, this is not a single Ryan in my fucking family.
Starting point is 01:57:44 Like, I completely. Even he agree with you. I don't think so either. There might be. There might be a new age Ryan who's part of Greg Gito. I'm running through all the rions I know in my head. I know one, but he's still white as shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:57:58 Ryan, Ryan Escalante. But he is fucking, he was so white that like when the sun would touch him, you would immediately turn into Red Hulk because he was so fucking white. If you look up Ryan on Google Images, it's just. It's just. I watch. They're like Ryan and Brad. I want everybody at home wherever you are to Google Ryan and go to images right now because I did not expect this, these results even slightly.
Starting point is 01:58:30 Oh my God. What are you seeing? Wait, what did you type in? I saw Ryan's world. I see this little kid. Oh, I'm seeing as a stupid kid. Yeah, it's just this baby forever. He's definitely not white.
Starting point is 01:58:46 He's definitely not white. Yeah, he isn't. It's not a white kid. He looks like Filipino or something. What is he? A little Singaporean kid or something like that. Yeah, he's definitely Southeast Asian. That's so fucking fascinating.
Starting point is 01:58:59 Is that a small man or is that a child? Well, listen, we shouldn't make fun of the world famous Ryan, I guess. I'm not making fun of him. I'm asking him, this is a question. All I'm saying, the question, all I'm saying is this is apparently. This is what, this is just Ryan. This is like, Ken, In canon, this is Ryan.
Starting point is 01:59:18 Every Ryan stems from this one. Because this is the definitive Ryan, according to Google's algorithm, the big box full of human brains in a jar that makes up the fucking Google network. This is Ryan. If you have your son, you name him Ryan, your son's going to eventually look like that at some point. It's moments like this where you realize, like, how big the world is, you know? I never would have thought that those are the images that are going. Anyway, moving on.
Starting point is 01:59:49 Anime Hot Take coming in from Connor King. Let's hear it. Chris, Derek, and Sween, prepare to get mad, but this needs to be said. Being really into comics is no different than being into anime, and comic nerds are just weabs who don't like subtitles. Dragon Ball is to anime, what Michael Bay Transformers movies are to cinema. I accept any and all hate y'all are going to dish out over this. It sustains me.
Starting point is 02:00:17 It's a little hot take from Connor King. Yeah, I don't disagree with that either. I think that just makes sense. I do think comic fandom and anime fandom are very, very similar. Yeah. They're pretty much the same kinds of things. It's that once from here, one from there. It's definitely in the same lane.
Starting point is 02:00:39 Yeah, it's just one is infinitely more egregious. That's all I can say. Well, you think about like the things. thing is that it? Well, I was just going to say, like, you go to conventions and you usually see, like, you know, hey, here's people dressed up as either what, it's usually superheroes or anime. It's, like, usually what you see. Occasionally, you'll see a pretty cool, like, occasionally you'll see, like, a video game character. I think that's, like, more popular now than it used to be. But, like, for a long time, that scene was pretty much
Starting point is 02:01:13 dominated entirely by, like, here's Superman, here's Spider-Man, here's Spider-Man dressed up, Here's fucking, you know, the Avengers. And also here's, you know, fucking, I don't know, L from fucking, you know, death note. Or here's a Goku cosplay that's really bad. Yo, there's so many bad goos. I've seen two good gocus in my life. I haven't even seen that many. When I was a kid, I remember, I remember this kid.
Starting point is 02:01:40 You remember the fucking cheap Halloween costumes they were ready to get from like Party City or like some Halloween outlet? You remember the Goku costumes with the stupid? stupid fake hair. Yeah, they're fucking... It was like a paper. It was like a Burger King crowd. Awful. Dude.
Starting point is 02:01:55 So bad. I loved watching kids. Like, seeing kids in those costumes gave me life because they looked so much stupider than anybody else in costume. Even people who... Just be a Pokemon, bro. What? Just be a Pokemon.
Starting point is 02:02:10 Just be a Pokemon, dude. Just dress up as Charban. Dude, just take the hair off and be Yamcha. Like, that hair is so stupid. The hair is the stupidest part of that costume because it just doesn't... That hair will never translate to reality. Like, it just won't. Exactly.
Starting point is 02:02:27 Exactly. At the very least, just put the Gion and you're a Z fighter and that's cool. That's actually a pretty... Like, okay, I like that. I would dress up as that if I was, like, doing some Halloween shit. But, like, why would you settle for that hair, man? Why would you go out the house looking like that? Slapp you.
Starting point is 02:02:43 Why would you go? Like a parent. Dude, they look so bad, man. They look so, oh my God, I've seen like maybe two. And the two that I saw were from like people who put money into it. They put like money and they grew their hair out for it. Like they really were like, yeah, I got to do this. Those are usually the best cosplays.
Starting point is 02:03:03 It's usually like, hey, here's some absurdly hot chick who's doing this really, really well. Oh, hey, here's Cammy. And like, oh, well, yeah, this is obviously going to be good. But it's either that or you have. like the people from like the 405th who like make this like ridiculous like yeah I made cast iron armor myself and uh this is my fully
Starting point is 02:03:25 fully working iron man suit with uh remote control visor and lights and LEDs in the palms that I can shut off with my fucking synapses uh don't know don't know how I did this it's really hard to take off on account of all the needles injecting into my fucking spine to keep this thing running but I am half human now
Starting point is 02:03:41 I am not all human anymore I am what would you do Kingston if if your friend some fictional friend of you. I'm inventing him. You've known him for a while. You've known him for like six years. Minimum. It comes up to you. He's a cosplayer. He's like, check this out.
Starting point is 02:03:57 I made an amazing Iron Man suit. He puts it on and it's that scene from Spider-Man 2 where like this, the thing curls up onto his spine and the needles come into his fucking spinal cord. And he flinches and it's like, ah, and then he can control the lights and that's all he can do though.
Starting point is 02:04:16 Like it's just like it just allows him to turn the lights on. I'm like, dude, are you okay? Are you okay? He's like, yeah, man, it hurts a lot. But like, it's worth it, right? I'm going to win that $500 cash pool, right? I'm like, yeah. He put like $15,000 of his own money into the fucking suit.
Starting point is 02:04:33 I hope that's enough, man. Oh, man. There's someone dressing up as L and thinking they fucking worked hard on their costume. What I fucking put on a shirt and pants. He's like, oh, man, this is such a good costume. I can't wait. and blow everybody off the water. Yeah, those are always my favorite cosplay.
Starting point is 02:04:51 Those are always my favorite Halloween costumes to see people in, people who clearly just, because I don't know, like, I think maybe like twice I put effort into my Halloween costume at school, just because it's like, a man, school sucks. I want like some kind of like, I want some dopamine when I go to school today. I'll like put some effort into this fucking costume.
Starting point is 02:05:08 But I remember one year, I was just totally, it totally snuck up on me, and I was like, ah, I thought we were, I thought we were, I thought school was going to, I thought Halloween was going to be on a, fucking weekend but it was on like Friday or something. It was like God damn it. And
Starting point is 02:05:22 all I did was like I think I put like wristbands on and I brought my guitar and I was like, ah, I'm Scott Pilgrim. That's it. There you go. Damn, that's amazing. Yeah. That's really cool. I wouldn't even done that. That's a whole ass guitar. I wouldn't risk bringing a guitar to a filthy school with a bunch of fucking children.
Starting point is 02:05:38 It was Elliot's. It was a guitar that Elliot gave me for free that like it was garbage. I didn't give a shit about it. It was like a red I don't even think it was I don't even think it was like a Schecter or like a Jackson I think it said on the on the neck I think it said
Starting point is 02:05:53 guitar China or like guitar or like music's nice my last time just a following my last time was when I was 17 I was a vampire rice farmer my friend gave me a rice purse rice farmer hat
Starting point is 02:06:12 and I had a cape on and that's all I did that was 17 and I still went and got candy People were like, aren't you little old And I was like, mind your fucking business I took their candy and I walked away You never went to like a costume party after that? Nah, dude, I'd stop caring I don't care about it.
Starting point is 02:06:25 I just don't care about it's really sad But I don't care about days Unless it's my grandma's birthday Or my girlfriend's birthday That is really, I really care about That is really depressing It's not even depressing It's like these are fucking days, you know
Starting point is 02:06:38 Like my friends It's fun going to like It's fun going to like a party like that With like a bunch of friends and shit. nah man that's so sad I feel so bad for you sometimes I just don't care

Starting point is 02:07:37 The intonation of a joke If it's funny If it's funny it'll be a different laugh Like if I'm like ha ha ha That's I'm not That's not funny But if I like fucking scream Like cackle
Starting point is 02:07:49 Like that's because it's fucking hilarious You know Like it's different kinds of laughs I think you might I'm not gonna say it What might be like a sociopath or something I think there might be some slight You might have came out of the same factory
Starting point is 02:08:04 As Zuckerberg Nah That's like a very Mark Zucklberg You can tell You can tell with someone's eyes You guys you guys don't analyze people enough.
Starting point is 02:08:14 But if you look at someone who's crazy's eyes, you can see it. Those are the words of a sociopath for sure. You can see it. No, no, you can see it. Like I've seen, I've been around so many people that are like actually like not well.
Starting point is 02:08:26 And you can see it in their eyes because something about the way they look at the world is different. I'm like, you look at me like I was a tool. You just have been optimized software. You're always just running like at high efficiency so you can always just scan people really well.

I'm on fire today, dude. This is a good idea for like a movie. Like I can see a great horror movie coming out of this.
Starting point is 02:09:33 Some like billionaire dude who owns all data blackmails you into being his friend. It's like a misery situation. That sounds awesome. I was thinking about that. It is just you and you're just like, I can't, I gotta kill him. I gotta kill him. I can't be his friend.
Starting point is 02:09:47 I can't be his friend anymore. I don't like, he bought me a yacht and he said crashed into the pier. What the fuck, dude? What is that? What is? People were on the pier. You can hang out with, uh, you can hang out with Zuckerberg. You guys can apply sweet baby raised to a smoked brisket.

It doesn't move right. It sense the movements and the shifts and it's like, bones shouldn't be there.
Starting point is 02:10:50 There shouldn't be bones in that part of your body. What if he needs sweet baby rays to keep him in his exoskeleton?

Do you know what his excuse for was that? Do you know what his excuse was for for that?
Starting point is 02:11:19 It was a Sunton-Li-Lu? I read, I forgot. What do you say? Because I did read it. He said, I thought it would be harder for people to recognize me. Lately, car buying has become a pretty dull experience. But on eBay, behind every car in part is a story waiting to be shared. There was a guy who bought a 2020 Porsche Cayman GT4 on eBay.
Starting point is 02:11:42 It was well loved. There are plenty of Caymans in great condition on eBay, but this one needed some work. That's just the start of the story. So after this guy gets a great deal on his dream car, he rebuilds the whole thing with all these parts he found on eBay. Performance brakes, suspension, body panels, the works, guaranteed to fit. Next thing you know, this nearly scrapped Cayman was out there on the track as a full-blown race car.

Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year.
Starting point is 02:12:50 And each year we get bigger and badder and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. That's pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open.

Starting point is 02:13:21 Oh, man, that's awesome. His idea to avert attention was to look like a fucking ghost jet skiing. This is like supposedly like a really intense. intelligent person, but, you know. He's intelligent academically. He's not socially intelligent at all. Clearly, he's socially like fucking inept.
Starting point is 02:13:46 I know, but just like, I just love that premise of just like, yeah, I'm going to look my, I'm going to make myself look as jarring as possible in an effort to avoid attention. Like, he's trying, man. It's like, you know, when you see like a roly-poly, like roll up and it's still like, like, dude, you're still fucked. It's like that. It's like one of the thing where it's all it's got. He dug in his software and that's all that came out And he's like well I generally thought nobody could fucking see me Here we go
Starting point is 02:14:14 And he just tries that Oh man He's he's he's well he'll update his firmware He'll be fine He is so far from being a normal person It's hilarious bro I just want to hang out with him and be like bro Why are you so weird
Starting point is 02:14:29 Like what's up I don't think you would accept that Did you go to public school? Like they didn't beat the dog shit out of you For being a fucking robo The Zuckerberg definitely went to private school I would imagine Like the whole time Or everyone that made fun of him
Starting point is 02:14:47 Is in a dungeon right now Being waterboarded by Sweet Baby Rays That sounds off That would actually be so pain That's way worse than waterboarding To have like No just to have like Because it's hot sauce
Starting point is 02:15:02 So you're just gonna have like the The scent like going up your nostrils like going up your nostrils and like fucking with you and your eyes probably too. And then your nose is going to be running and like, oh man, that sounds so bad. That's crazy. We just invented a new type of torture too.
Starting point is 02:15:16 All right. All right. Last question. Sweet baby right. Last question from swagdactyl. He wrote in Hello Glasses guy and Mohawk guy and I hate the gays guy. This is my first. This is my first.
Starting point is 02:15:28 Yeah. Is it a Mohawk? It's not a Mohawk. Yeah, it's like a... It's just pulled back with my fucking, what's that that guy from Avatar Sucker
Starting point is 02:15:37 What's his name? Saka It's a warrior wolf's tail Zooka? Yeah Saka Isn't it Sucker
Starting point is 02:15:43 Saka Tango Sucker Say it right Say it right It's soccer Sucker Free Sunday Tangle Succa
Starting point is 02:15:54 You guys remember Model War II Tangle Succa Anyone And the Femela Femela I love that That was a good map
Starting point is 02:16:02 Honestly I love that That was a good map Yeah. Anyway, Swagdactyl wrote in, and he says, this is my first month of donations, and my first time riding in. Well, welcome Swagdactyl.
Starting point is 02:16:12 Nice, welcome. You motherfuckers make my day at work fly by, so thank you for the amazing content. My question slash scenario is this. You're out hiking in the middle of nowhere, unrealistic, I'm sure. And a boulder lands on your forearm. Your non-doult, wait, what?
Starting point is 02:16:30 Your non-dominant one, luckily, but you're left trapped there with no one searching for you. How long do you think you could last before you resorted to auto-cannibalism? Or would you let yourself die and wither in slow agony? So, 127 hours, which is a movie I've never seen. Literally, I didn't see it either. Why the fuck would I watch that movie? Yeah, we know exactly what it is.
Starting point is 02:16:49 Exactly. It's like, oh, a guy gets his arm stuck and he cuts it off, right? Okay. That's, I'm not going to spend like an hour and a half doing that. But if you make it, you get a cool prosthetic, of course. You don't have a knife, and sorry, Sweene, you can't kill yourself. I think I feel like that's a valid option. To be honest, because like if you just give up, die anyway.
Starting point is 02:17:08 Yeah, you're going to die anyway. Why not? If I chew through it, I get a cool bionic arms. I'm going to chew through that ho. I'm a chew through. Oh, man. I don't think you're aware of how difficult that would be. Oh, bro, I'm very aware. I've broken a lot more things than on anyone here.
Starting point is 02:17:21 Trust me, I'm very aware how much it hurts. I don't think I'd be able to do it. I think I would try to do it. I think I would try to do it. But I would be like, oh, this is insane. Like, you can't like, Think about the times when you bite your tongue on accident. It fucking hurts, man.
Starting point is 02:17:37 You know what that is? That's like a regular bite on, like, try to do that to you, man. Like, you can't even generate that because your mind won't let you do it. Look, look, I have bitten my tongue so many times that it doesn't hurt as much as it used to. But I've very deeply cut myself before. Like I've been cut deep, not stabbed, but cut pretty fucking deep. And that pain lingers for a while. Like, I'm sure that, like, if you bit, if you took a real serious bite out of yourself,
Starting point is 02:18:15 you would pass out and wake up because it hurts so much. Yeah. You would fall asleep and then, ah, you'd wake up screaming again. I guess it's time to get on LiveLeak and see if somebody's done that. Oh, I'm sure people have done that. I mean, I just, like, it's just, that is a, that is, like, I understand like the, the, the guy with a knife, Franco, and you're like, okay, I get it. You're delirious, you're desperate. I get taking another object and then slowly working on yourself, but biting yourself, man, like, not, like, I just, I can't even conceptualize it. Like, I can picture myself digging a knife into my arm right now. I picture it. I would never want to do that, but I can pick up. I can't, my mind stops me from like, pumping and taking meat out of myself. Here's the big issue with this.
Starting point is 02:19:09 You have to be about to die and your brain will be like, we can do it now. The biggest issue here is that I don't want to survive a situation where the story that I have to tell is, yeah, I just sort of had to eat my arm, you know, and then I just, I got out of there. That's not that bad. I thought that's not that bad because it's like situation-wise. No, situation-wise, it's not that bad. For you, for you, that's not that bad. For me, I'm like, all right, I'm in a situation.
Starting point is 02:19:36 Clearly, I didn't play my cards right, you know. I didn't position myself on the map correctly. Lately, car buying has become a pretty dull experience. But on eBay, behind every car in part is a story waiting to be shared. There was a guy who bought a 2020 Porsche-Camen GT4 on eBay. It was well-loved. There are plenty of Kamens in great condition on eBay, but this one needed some work. That's just the start of the story.
Starting point is 02:20:04 So after this guy gets a great deal on his dream car, he rebuilds the whole thing with all these parts he found on eBay. Performance brakes, suspension, body panels, the works, guaranteed to fit. Next thing you know, this nearly scrapped Kamen was out there on the track as a full-blown race car.

Visit furtherpeople.com for an office near you. The environment got the better of me. I lost. I'll see you in the post game. Like, I'm not in a situation where I'm about to be like, oh, man, let me fucking eat my own arm away so that I can survive with like, I don't know.
Starting point is 02:21:50 For what? I don't even know how many. What if I die the day after I got my prosthetic in a fucking car accident? You know, like, that's such a, that's such a bleak way to put it. I wouldn't, I wouldn't think of it like that. Well, also, if you, if you like, if a rock lands on your arm, it's probably going to bust the bitch up, you know. A bust it bit up, the bitch is going to be busted up pretty bad. So I feel like it's already hurting.
Starting point is 02:22:10 So you already got like some sort of damage done to the arm. I feel like sincerely I would try to pull my arm off before I tried to bite it. Yeah, Jesus Christ, man. Yeah, you would. I think I would, like, try and just run. Like, hope that the. I hope that the physics of the world did the job for me, as opposed to just
Starting point is 02:22:29 me having to, like, just... You would wait until the Earth is rotating at a particular point. You'd be like, now. You would have got to pull your arm loose. I would wait until the moon is as close as possible so that it's, like, pulling a little bit, a little bit more than normal.
Starting point is 02:22:43 Just a little bit, so it weighs like a fraction. Just 4.00. Eek! I can't imagine this shit. This is making me so sick. But... It would be wild. It would take a lot.
Starting point is 02:22:55 Dude. Maybe. I couldn't even imagine just doing that. Maybe if you had a bottle of sweet baby rays on you. You poured a sweet baby rays on your skin and then it numbs it and you taste fantastic. And you're like, yo, this is going to be a real big problem later on because I'm pretty sure I'm a cannibal now. But I got out of the situation. It's fucked up.
Starting point is 02:23:18 I mean, we've been talking about sweet baby rays so much. I'm like, yo, I want to get some of that shit, dude. Yeah, I want some wings right now. We want to some sweet baby raise But yeah I think that's where we'll We'll head off We're about at our time
Starting point is 02:23:31 I do want to say though Before we sign off We lost a legend Super recently I think it was actually like in the last 24 hours I'm pretty sure I could be wrong Yeah
Starting point is 02:23:42 Yes it was We lost a legendary comedian Paul Mooney So So you know Rest in peace of that That fella He was pretty fucking legendary I didn't, it's, it's kind of wild because I remember I heard that, I didn't even know him by name.
Starting point is 02:23:59 I just knew him by voice, face, and material. Like he was like ethereal to me. I was like, oh yeah, that guy, he's never going to die. And, uh, well, here we are. Yeah. I think, I think somebody, somebody probably got to him, man. He, he talked a lot of shit. Oh, a lot.
Starting point is 02:24:16 He did talk a lot of shit. So, so much. He was also constantly mentioned to hip-hop because he was talked a lot of shit. He talked a lot of shit. Maybe rest in peace, though. Yeah, for sure. Legendary. I would recommend everybody look up some of his sets if you haven't heard of him before,
Starting point is 02:24:33 because I know a lot of people who definitely probably don't know about this dude. It's possibility, I mean, dude, I found out about him through Chappelle's show. Yeah. That's how I found out of them. Yeah. Yeah. But, yeah, that's going to be it for episode 69. The meme sex number is done.
Starting point is 02:24:53 to the 70s now, which means we're inching ever closer, inching ever closer to 100, which is kind of crazy. We got 30 more. We have to do something crazy for 100, man.
