What having it all tastes like
Hey look
It's a little dead meme
Hey
Everybody
It's a snark tank
It's a podcast
Welcome welcome welcome back
We're here again
We have
Derek will be joining us soon
He caught
You know he's probably like
limping home
From like some crazy
Moped accident
I don't exactly know how Derek travels
But I imagine it's something like that
be, you'll be with us shortly.
I thought he's in Europe again.
I feel like he went back to Europe for a few minutes.
That would explain the moped and the subsequent accident.
Yeah.
Every side of the road is the wrong side of the road for a moped.
Yeah.
Didn't Jayland used to have a roommate?
Yeah.
And he crashed, remember?
Everybody crashes on those things.
That's why.
That's true.
I don't know anybody who has, I don't know anybody who owns like a two-wheeled vehicle
who hasn't been in at least one like crazy.
like out-of-pocket accident, you know, like, skidding across a highway on their kneecaps.
It's a real thing.
Neat caps, like, fucking, like, vanquished, like, on their fucking knees.
I always figured you only got one of those.
I thought that, like, you get one, and then the second one kills you.
That's the rule, right?
We have a friend that's been under cars more than he has fingers probably, and he's still here.
How many fingers does he have?
All ten, but he's been under cars often.
Yeah, he's got extraordinary.
really good finger luck.
You know?
Yeah, he's got, I can't tell if that's good or bad luck.
It's kind of both, right?
To not lose your fingers?
To crash 10 times and then also not die 10 times.
Right?
I feel like that keeps him alive.
Like he has the crash every so often to keep being alive at that moment.
Maybe.
The thing that always fucking throws me about, you seen that thing where that that guy's flying
around on like the green goblin, uh, it's basically a giant drone that he stands.
on you seen that shit. How do you practice that? The first time you fall off it, you fucking die, right?
So how do you practice? I feel like that's not a death. That's not an instant thing. That's how I get
hurt, but like that's not an instant like, oh, you're going to pass away if you fall off. Are we thinking
of the same thing? We're thinking of the dude who's flying around Times Square on the goblin glider, right?
Yes. Yeah. I feel like you don't die if you fall off that. What do you mean? He's like,
you do if you fall on your skeleton bombs, dude.
Your skeleton bombs? Because he's fucking.
green goblin he falls on his fucking belt of things that he'll blow up and kill the shit why wouldn't
you have the skeleton bombs too you know what when you add that factor the skeleton bomb seemed to be
the most believable part of that technology to me like if i saw like somebody's skin like
eviscerate off their bodies and like a skeleton standing there that seems more realistic to me than a man
just like gliding around on a fucking glider like right out of the goddamn movie right and we've
seen one so that would stand to reason that the other yeah
the razor bats?
That's clearly,
I'm a fucking psychopath
because I didn't think
of the razor,
the silthamoms at all.
But if he has those,
then he could be doing
way more than he's doing
right now.
He's acting.
In fact,
he's not really like
maximizing his worth.
That's a big fall,
though.
Like, he's pretty hot.
He's like,
four stories up.
No.
No.
Yeah, he's like four four.
Yeah.
No.
No,
absolutely not.
He's not four stories up,
dude.
What do you?
They wouldn't test.
He's not.
He's like maybe to.
stories. I saw one where this guy's flying over a fucking lake and he's he's like above the trees
on that thing. It's like number one, you fall. I don't know if that's high enough to do the
concrete water thing where you just splatter. But even if it doesn't like you can you can really
afford two of those. You know what I'm saying? That falls in the water. It's done. Maybe he just
has like extraordinarily good balance and it's just like I'm going to showboat because he just
Or cancer.
Could have cancer.
Could just be like, whatever cancer is going to get me, might as well.
Yeah.
Once you get cancer and you're like young and your body still works for the time it does,
might as well start doing a bunch of fuck shit.
Yeah.
I would start antagonizing like wild animals and shit.
Like I'd become a dick.
I don't know if that's worth it, though, the wild animal thing.
Oh, yeah, absolutely is.
Wait, what would you do with?
I'd walk up to a black bear and slap the shit out of it and then walk off.
Have you had cancer?
Yeah, I'm gone.
I'm gone.
And then if the bear eats me, it eats cancer people.
It's a cancer-ridden person.
Like, what kind of fucking disgusting bear does that?
I think they wouldn't even eat you.
I feel like, ew, I don't want to touch you.
If you got in a fight, you could just be like, stay back.
Cancer! Cancer!
You think a bear would know if you had cancer, so it wouldn't eat you?
Sometimes dogs do.
Yeah, dogs can smell cancer.
That's fucking unbelievable.
What do you mean?
What are you talking about?
And they can smell bitch.
They can smell if you're an asshole.
And they can smell if you have cancer.
Dogs can smell cancer?
Yes.
Some dogs can smell cancer.
If you train them to, they can, they can,
There's dogs at the airport that they sniff for cancer and then if they smell it on you, they bite you.
And then you get arrested.
Because you can't bring cancer into an airport, dude. Come on.
And they arrest you because you're a fucking monster.
They can smell cancer though, fro. That's real.
Holy shit. Anyway, Lyle's with us.
Hello.
It might as well, it might as well go off the rails like this, you know.
What was that?
I don't want to think. That's scared to me to my.
to be to my core just now. That actually sounded like a ban like a like a banshee like a like a ghost.
That was really off-putting. That was not a siren at all. It actually did. This isn't like a thing that
you guys put up before the the podcast to like, oh, we're going to have a banshee on this episode.
You guys aren't messing with me right now. No, no, no. We didn't we didn't place a joke litch in the
background or anything. I didn't believe in liches, banshees, specters, anything of that like until
just now, but I'm starting to turn. Yeah. Well, there is there is the
famous Burbank
Banshee, you know, who flies around the streets.
Screeching. This is something that only
you two are going to go on with because I can't even
I don't even want to invite that shit into my
mind skeet because I'll think about it on my own.
No, we got to, we got to unmask that thing
like Scooby Doo, man. We got to face it
head on. Could you imagine
they unmatched somebody in Scooby-Doh
and it was like a jihadist? And he blew himself up
and that was in the episode. I'm surprised they
haven't ever unmasked somebody in Scooby-Doo
and it's like another Scooby-Doo and it's like another Scooby or
something, like another critter, you know?
Like, Scooby himself is some kind of paranormal apparition, right?
Can we agree to that?
I don't think he's paranormal.
I just think that Scooby is a psychedelically induced creation.
Like, Scooby isn't there.
Wait.
Okay, I like that theory.
Like, Scooby's not there at all.
So he's like...
Shaggy's just eating that food by himself.
Like, they're crazy.
That's Shaggy's excuse to eat twice as much as like a normal person would.
I'm actually trying to think
Like does Scooby ever have any like
Meaningful back and forths with people or does he just eat big sandwiches and go
And shit like that
Scooby is what happens when you mix drugs
From like the 60s
Psychedelics can and I think they can give you schizophrenia
They can fuck up your brain chemistry that bad
Mass hallucination at that point right because they can all hear Scooby saying the same things
Or is that not confirmed?
I think Shaggy just says it and they're all like
why would Shaggy lie to us?
He used the fucking crocodile and bath salts with me.
He's my friend.
So clearly Scooby exists.
And then they started believing it.
And now he's just,
he's real to them, you know?
Isn't that nuts how you do meth with a guy once?
And then he's like your most trusted confidant?
That's your brother right there.
That's your brother in arms.
Yeah.
That's like veteran friends, you know?
Like, we've been through a lot together.
You know, we've seen the Great Beyond.
I forgot how to breathe next.
to you and then you bit my arm.
Dude, I remember when that shit was going, like when the bath salt shit was happened.
What was that?
2009 when that dude was like eating that dude's face.
I thought it was 12.
I can't remember.
It was definitely around that time when like the bath salts were exploding.
I've got a strong bath salts opinion.
Oh my God.
I don't think that dude was on bath salts.
I think bath salt because like you used to be able to buy bath salts online.
Like you could just go on a website and order them.
They were like a gray market drug.
I think like just they were starting to get popular and they were like next thing some guy does high on angel dust.
We just blame bath salts and then ban them forever because like your mom doesn't know what it is, but like people are starting to catch on.
And I think it worked.
That's my that's my bath salts conspiracy theory.
That has so much basis.
Like I don't like how I don't like how fucking grounded of a fucking like theory that was.
I was going to be some fucking while.
You let me down.
That's real.
I'm sorry.
They can't all be fucked.
That one is real.
You let me down when I was like, oh, he's going to say something fucking crazy.
That was during, that was during a period of time where there were a lot of like just outright lies.
Like, you remember balloon boy?
Like when that kid was just in the fucking balloon and it was like all like this lie for no reason?
That was so stupid.
They should have put that kid up for real after that.
That should have been like the, if I were the judge in that case, as I should have been,
Like that kid would have gone up.
You're like a sitcom judge.
You just like sentence people to comedic, ridiculous.
Like, you're going to go in the balloon for real.
Some kid was supposed to be in a balloon?
You don't remember this, sweetie?
When when...
Nah, dude.
Dude, there was...
I mean, this is ancient.
This is actually like 2009, maybe like 2011 at the latest.
When this kid, there was like this hot air balloon or something that like went into the sky
and this family was like, my kid's in there or something.
My kid's in the balloon and everybody believed it for like a solid week.
and then they found him in the fucking attic.
Yeah.
They were like hiding their kid
and doing like news interviews
and stuff like that.
What is wrong with people?
I think it was like
they tied a bunch of balloons
to a chair or some.
I don't remember what the fuck they...
It was some fucking nonsense.
But that was around that time.
They tied a bunch of balloons to a chair
and said it was my son.
They just let it go.
Yeah.
They let it go to the top.
There are a bunch of off-duty clowns
trying to pop them and get them down
so they could bring them back
to their little.
clown house.
Could you imagine there's one guy with like a fucking dart and he's like,
don't worry, I got this.
Walks up to the balloon and just bingo.
And fucking deflates it and kills the kid.
That's like the act three of one of those fucking like the chicken and the bread kind of
fables.
You know what I mean?
I forget what the actual thing is called.
Chicken and the bread.
Yes.
You know what I'm talking about.
No, I don't.
The chickens like,
yo, help me bake the bread
and everyone else was like, no.
And the chicken's like, okay, I bake the bread,
who's going to help me eat it?
And they were all like, we will.
And the chickens like, fuck you, cunts.
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. 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 Restamod.
Hello, Lotus Alon, handle the parts to finish it. eBay has thousands of cars and is the largest
online selection of vehicle parts and accessories.
eBay. Things

largest injury law firm.
That's pretty awesome.
I think I saw Billboard of yours recently. It said 20 billion one.
20 billion is an insane number.
Yeah, 20 billion recovered.

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

dan Morgan from Morgan from Morgan from Morgan's large injury law firm thanks for coming
by the show.
Thanks for having me.
Visit for the people.com for an office near you.
I'll never let you eat my bread.
That's like the character that comes in at the end.
Like the fucking,
the fucking moral of the story characters,
the dark guy that pops it.
Right.
Falls.
Lyle, you are fucking my mind bad right now.
You just took my brain
to put it in a fucking washing machine.
It's real.
Chicken and the bread is real, right?
Someone back me up to this.
And it is called chicken and the bread.
Kingston, look it up.
I'm really curious if this.
I, okay, I definitely two truce and a lie to that, but like that's a real.
Oh my God.
Fuck you, Lyle.
The little red hen, you're right.
He, it's real.
It's real.
It's real.
The little red hand.
He's right.
What are you talking about?
The little red head, he's literally exactly right.
It was literally this hen that took time from getting everything to make a bread.
and no one other creature helped.
And then she made the bread and she was like,
fuck you guys.
Suck my fucking inner pussy, bitch.
You can't have any of this bread.
This is a real tale?
You know, I've found that I actually have a talent
for saying things that are true
and making them sound like lies.
I don't know how to apply that
to any real situation.
This is a perfect segue though,
because we were, you and I were out with some friends
at a bar arcade place.
and you told me
we were talking about
Owen Wilson
and how his nose broke
and do you remember
or why his nose is all fucked up
and do you remember like
what you told us?
I don't think we were even talking about it
I think I just like casually like
mentioned like
I mentioned it like you all knew
when I was a kid
my dad told me this
I was like
why is Owen's Owen Wilson's nose
fucked up
And my dad told me, oh, yeah, Owen Wilson tried to kill himself by throwing himself down an elevator shaft and broke his nose doing that.
And I just went my whole adult life believing that because I had no reason to ever question it.
And then I just brought it up casually or like some kind of peripheral thing, like something about an elevator shaft.
I made like an Owen Wilson joke about an elevator shaft and nobody fucking got it.
And I was like, what?
And I had to like explain to the.
them that Owen Wilson tried to kill himself jumping down an elevator shaft. And everyone was like,
no. And then we looked it up and that's not even true. Dad, why'd you tell me that? I love that
just like because a trusted figure told me this. I've never going to. Dude, I went a long time.
And I think I've said this on the podcast before, but I went a really long time just not knowing
that New Zealand was next to Australia, even though those accents are identical because
somebody, some adult powerful figure in my life at one point said, oh, it's by Greenland or something.
And I just never bothered to look it up. So like, I was like, I think I learned that it wasn't in like
2015, like kind of recently. That is kind of for, you know what? I'm going to, I'm going to go to
bat for you on that one. Because that is where you would assume it was if you'd never seen a
map or something. Yeah, it seems like a place it would be. I don't, I don't give a fuck about
anywhere outside of the America. So I don't know where shit. Like, I don't know where.
shit is. I feel like instinct of mind is like, you've seen the map and you've probably seen this.
But if someone told me like Finland was next to like Africa, I'd be like, okay. Like if they were
confident about it, I'd be like, well, you're right. That I would, that I wouldn't believe because
I've seen Africa. And I know what's next to it. Greenland, Iceland, those are places that like,
I don't know if you could really draw the shape of those from memory, like on a piece of paper.
But Africa's like the backwards pee. You know, it's got.
It's got a shape to it.
Africa looks like South America.
If you switched Greenland and Iceland on a map and then like sent that map out of distributors,
like people would buy that map and not realize it was fucked up.
Yeah.
Isn't like Iceland and Greenland like above the Americas?
I don't think they're close to each other.
Isn't like Greenland?
I think Greenland's the one that's above, uh, it's above Canada, right?
We're really pissing off our one Greenland audience member, Greenland, San.
There's no life there.
There's no life there. Just fucking...
Okay, I know I'm pronouncing this wrong,
but while we're on, like, fun facts that are totally fucking wrong,
you know, like, time zones, how they have GMT?
Mm-hmm.
The name for that, how it's spelled out, at least,
which is how I refuse to not say it,
is Greenwich Mean Time.
What?
Yeah.
What do you mean?
It's not pronounced like that.
Greenwich is pronounced Greenwich.
But I love the idea that our standard of time is just measured by Greenwich mean time.
Greenwits?
Oh, my God.
It's like Groundhog Day.
Like, if the Green Witch comes out and is mean, you have four more minutes of midnight.
Four more minutes of this one exact time.
That's fantastic.
That's super old world.
They use minutes to dictate, like, like distance sometimes, too.
I found that out when I was, like, taking like a geoclass.
Like light minutes?

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.
No, like, well, that obviously, but like when you're doing like the lawn,
I think it's lada.
When you're doing latitude, the smallest distance of latitude is referred to as minutes, if I'm not mistaken.
I don't know.
I don't know enough about anything to really, to really.
That's like the imperial system, right?
Is we measure in feet instead of meters because some guy wanted to see one.
And he was like, hey, wouldn't it?
We should measure in this.
Get them out.
Just pop them out.
It's our entire measuring system is based on fetish fuel.
That's so fucking disgusting.
Like, this like walk around.
me, dude, nothing on your feet.
You know, like, hit me with that.
Take your smelly shoes off and measure this fucking...
You're not going to like where football comes from.
No, but when you told me that story, like, the Owen Wilson thing, I was so, like,
taken aback because I felt like, I thought you were right, and I just didn't know that, you know.
Because I was like, oh, that seems like a fact that I would, that I would like to know.
It was like the octopus thing, not the octopus thing, the jellyfish thing that you didn't believe.
What do you mean?
Oh, the jellyfish are immortal?
Effectively immortal.
Yeah, that doesn't sound real, though, you know?
Can someone in the comments tell me if this is a real thing or if this is like a weird dream that I had?
I could have sworn that there was like a movie or something where it's like they go to an alien planet and it's just the ocean is like a big jellyfish.
Like the whole thing's a jellyfish.
Oh.
It's like a live.
It's like a big amoeba.
Wait a minute.
Is that a movie?
Is that in something or is that some fucked up thing I thought up?
That sounds real, but like I'm not going to go to.
a bat for you. I just can't go to bat for you with that. Like, it sounds like it sounds like,
it doesn't sound unfamiliar, but it doesn't, it's not evoking specific enough, enough imagery for me to
like really give you a good answer. Is there a song from the movie that you can hum that will
somehow snap my brain into memory? No, I feel like this is something I saw when I was like eight.
Or it's not real. And I just fucking like, I have like this false memory of like, of like these people.
and they get to like a little like fucking like town or something and it's like completely barren.
It's like and it's just like this beach town where it's like everyone's dead and they're like what the fuck happened.
And then like the tide comes in and it's like a whole ocean is like a living organism.
That's such a thing like I'm either something like I'm I've come up with and I've like turned it into a false memory of some movie I saw when I was eight creepy pasta style or it's real and it's just some fucking obscure shit that.
Yeah.
Nobody's unfortunate too because you're never going to really like the search engine
Optimization of that if you ever looked for it you'd be fucked because you'd have to search jellyfish ocean
Which is like already like just right?
Yeah what it is different things. That's just what they're going to be associated with anyway that sucks
That's unfortunate I definitely had like shows or like movies that I thought I imagined or like just because no one else
Because I remember like when I was a kid very
Specifically, I remember like I would tell my friends for the longest time, it's like, yeah, when I was like in third or second or first grade, I remember waking up super early and watching this show that was the wild thornberries, but it wasn't.
But it looked exactly like it and they were in the woods and it was ugly like that show and I fucking, and no one was, no one understood what I was talking about until like fucking 15 years later where somebody was like, oh, that's the, um, oh my God, please don't tell me.
forgot it. Jumanji, I think.
Or like, oh, it was a Jumani cartoon. Okay.
Yeah. I could see, I could see why you'd think that.
That was me and echoed a dolphin. I, like, I would talk about echoed a dolphin at school.
People would say that doesn't exist. And I'm like, no, it's real. I go home and I play it.
Like, I play this game. And then the one time my friend came to see if it was real, I couldn't find it.
And he was like, you're lying. I'm not lying about this. Like, I play this game.
You're a dolphin and you eventually, you've got to kill aliens that are polluting the planet.
And he was like, you're fucking crazy Kingston.
I was just like, no.
What confuses me about that, though, is that if you Google dolphin game,
Echo must be the first thing to come up.
You know what I mean?
It was, it was, but not in like 2005.
What was rocking the airwaves in 2005, the dolphin game market?
Exactly.
Shook it.
When the first echoed the dolphin game come out?
That was on Sega.
Yeah, that's a, that's a, fucking.
It's like a Genesis game.
Yeah, yeah.
That was like, that was in the Seaman times, you know, back when Seaman was.
Seaman was Dreamcast, right?
Oh yeah, no, you're right, because it had that weird mic controller thing.
Yeah.
I remember playing this and people were like, it's not a real game and I'm like, I swear to God.
But the fuck he says.
You ever like?
I've got a dirty joke for you.
I don't remember.
Do you guys have a game that like, you?
you used to think was pretty good, and then you realized everybody hated it when you got older?
Glover.
Really?
Glover.
Yeah.
You liked it?
I don't remember anything about it.
I thought Glover was the sickest shit.
I thought King of Mark was rad.
I would compare it a little bit to, it was kind of like a Mario 64 thing where you'd go into a level,
and then you'd have a bunch of different objectives in that same zone that you'd have to solve.
But the gimmick to it was that you had a fucking ball, and you could, like, you could, like,
like transform that ball into different things.
And if the ball popped, you also died.
So like, the idea was like you kind of, you had to control Glover, but then you had this other
like external thing that you had to manage that could help you out, but it could also
fuck you.
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.
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, Lodda Salon, and 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.
I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan and Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm.
That's pretty awesome. I think I saw Billboard of years recently that said 20 billion one.
20 million is an insane number.
Yeah, 20 billion recovered.
It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year.
And each year we get bigger and batter and our army grows.
So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on.
Awesome.
So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan?
What would I do if I got into an accident?
Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law.
That's pound 529 from your cell phone.
We are always open.
Our call center is always waiting to take your call.
24-7-365.
Wow. Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's Large Injury Law,
from thanks for coming by the show.
Thanks for having me. Visit for thepeople.com for an office near you.
Which was kind of cool. It had like cheat codes and shit. It just wasn't like well made,
honestly. It's fine concept for a game. It was just like, not good. I wouldn't want to play it now.
Right. But you remember liking it when you were a kid. I played so much of it as a kid. Yeah.
I was being Kingdom Hearts, bro. I love the Kingdom Arts.
until I was maybe like maybe like 17 18
and then like everyone I knew was like
this game is fucking stupiding
you're fucking stupid I got to call you out here
you're you're you're minimizing
no no no no no no no no no no no I got the last one
because I was like hopeful but I was like hopefully it's gonna be good
because my heart was still holding on to hope
until I was like 23 no Kingston and then like
we would argue we would argue with me
recently like in the last couple years you would argue
It's like, no, these are good games.
It wasn't 17.
This is recent.
17 is when I started realizing
like something was up and something was wrong.
And then I was like, no, these games are still pretty good, man.
And then I played the third one.
And then playing the third one,
my brain snapped into like what I was actually playing
and what I played all along.
And I was like, holy shit.
I played Kingdom Hearts 3 without playing anything between two
and three.
And I just went in completely blind and drank heavily through the whole thing.
And I loved it.
It was such a fucking mess.
The game is so unbelievably bad.
There's one cutscene that I fucking love where I guess there's like 43 Anems and Soros.
There's like there's all equally as many Soras and one of the Soros is missing or trapped or
Sora has him in his butt or something.
And Soros like, I'm going to get the other Sora out of me.
And then two of the other Anselms that look identical show up.
And you're like, they're like, you idiot.
You can't be two people at once.
It's like, you're two people at once.
And they just go, we have to leave and then leave.
And that's the cutscene.
That's real?
It's real.
Oh my God.
I hate that game so much now.
I used to love it, man.
It's so fucking.
It's amazingly shit.
I love it.
I love it more.
not understanding anything that's
fucking going on.
I've invested way too much time into that fucking
that whole time. See, I wouldn't recommend doing that.
I would recommend if you've never played Kingdom Hearts,
start with three and don't look into anything.
And just
just be confused. Just be confused
the whole fucking ride. Treat it like an
acid trip where you just don't fight it
and you just let it
kind of wash over you and you'll have
a good time. That would
be the best way to experience.
I just don't experience it.
Just don't experience it.
This does the best of the experience is don't.
Yeah.
The only game that I could think of like that was like, and this is comical.
Because I remember liking this as like a kid, but Bubsy was a game that I genuinely liked when I was like a fucking wee little lad.
Because I didn't have an S&S.
I went from NES to PlayStation.
When I had the PlayStation, I was just playing a bunch of 3D games.
So like I wasn't used to that amount of pixel art, like, or that complex pixel art in a game.
I was like, oh, this is kind of cool.
It's kind of neat.
And then I grew up, and I was like, oh, this is,
this is, like, one of the worst video games that's ever been made.
Like, maybe, like, Superman 64 is worse.
But did you just like how it looked?
I was like a...
I think I just liked how it looked.
I think I just, like, oh, pixel art,
and there's, like, complex animations for the time.
And I was like, oh, that's kind of neat, I guess.
But looking back on it...
Looking back at it, like, I don't really understand why.
I think I just wanted an S&S.
How young were you when you played Bubsy?
Because at a certain point, it's like just moving on the screen, you know?
Yeah, I was like six.
I think.
Yeah, that's young enough to just be entertained by fucking.
Hold on.
When did Bubzy fucking anything?
It was definitely before I was seven, like without a fucking doubt.
Can I give you guys a really hot take?
Some people are going to probably get upset about this.
Of course.
But I loved Metal Gear Solid when I was younger.
Not Metal Gear Solid.
No, Golden Eye.
I cannot play that game anymore.
I just can't play that game.
I know people are going to get mad at that.
I actually agree with that.
I agree with it too.
I cannot play that game anymore.
I loved it.
Like, it's not even bad.
I just can't play it anymore.
Like, I don't know where I'm shooting.
I don't know where the fuck's going on.
I don't know where I'm going.
Yeah, they really had not figured out, like, console shooters at that point.
And I was just like, I don't know what the, like, I beat it when I was younger.
I used to play with my uncle all the time.
I'm like, I was good at it.
I'd pick the guy with the top hat because he had no upper hit box.
Then you weren't good at it.
You were cheating.
No, I wasn't.
I was no.
I figured that out.
And I was like, oh, shit, I could just be, I could be this guy.
I could be Shupkin.
Shupkin's cool.
But this guy doesn't really have a head.
And he's tiny.
Here's the thing.
Here's the thing with Golden Eye is that Golden Eye is a good game as long as you don't play
it on the original hardware.
Because you can play that game on PC and it's actually pretty fun.
Like, it's actually like really precise and really fun and really fast.
But on the N64 controller, it's a fucking disaster.
I really don't know how people play it.
That control is a disaster in general.
It's got it's time.
You guys ever play time splitters too?
I played time splitters.
Yeah.
That game fucking rocked.
It was not...
Lately, car buying has become a pretty dull experience.

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.
I've never played a game that recaptured that game because it wasn't like a competitive shooter.
It was like, let's just fill the match with bots that are all snowmen and we'll be monkeys and we'll fucking throw bricks at them.
And that was the video game. Yeah, it really was a really bare bones kind of deal.
It was pretty good. There was a shoot at stuff. There's just shoot at stuff. Like just shoot at things.
This is free country, not rent free country.
That a moped accident scrambled his brain.
Yeah, you were driving around on a moped.
Oh, is that what was happening?
Yeah, yeah, that's what we're going with.
What's up, Lyle McNigger?
How's it going, my dude?
I love how nonchalantly that word was thrown at you, and you were just like, oh, thanks.
Just accepted.
I'm used to it.
I'm used to it.
I'm used to it.
Derek is back.
Derek, Derek has arrived.
He skidded home.
on his kneecaps off of the
moped, landed right here
and now he's back with us.
Yeah, whatever they said is true. Absolutely.
Everything. That's a hell of a
blank check to just give us
whatever they said
is true.
I mean, I can't imagine it would be that bad.
You wouldn't want to incriminate me
and then be associated
with a felon. You're right.
That's a good point.
Yeah, you got a good head on your shoulders.
We were talking about...
You think I thought that far ahead.
That's your problem.
I didn't think that far ahead at all.
We were just talking about golden eye and how unbearable it kind of is.
Can I, I, I never, I guess I was never, I don't know, man, I never, that hype, I never got on that hype train.
I don't know.
I had fun when I went to my neighbor's house and played on my, oh, this is cool.
But it wasn't life changing to me, like a whole lot of people, like really saw it in that kind of way.
Yeah.
I don't know if that, I don't know if people would hate me for saying that.
No, I, I mean, I'm sure someone will.
It's a Nintendo property.
Like, I think we all, uh, we all like put ourselves on that, on that tightrope.
Yeah.
So, it's, we're all in it together.
Yeah, we're, if one of us goes down, we all go down.
We're sinking as one.
But that game is hard to, the 64's controller in general is an abomination.
Every, really, especially much.
Every is an adult with like adult sized hands.
Chris, you might still be able to handle it, but I can't do it.
What controller is good from Nintendo?
I don't think the GameCube is horrible.
You think the GameCube wants good?
I think the GameCube, yeah, the stick thing aside.
The GameCube looked like Fisher Price to me.
I'm sorry.
It's definitely, that was a Fisher Price controller to me.
It's definitely like childish controller, but like it's fine.
I guess.
Look at the GameC and then look at the 64.
64 controllers doing way too much.
You're right.
You're right.
There's fucking 4C buttons.
There's 4C buttons.
There's 4C buttons.
There's a fucking penis.
There's a Z.
There's like, what the fuck's wrong with Nintendo, man?
Yeah, you know what?
That, I think actually the 64 has more buttons than a modern controller if you don't count, like, start and select.
I think it does.
It's got one more.
It's definitely got more face buttons.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're right.
But then modern controllers have bumpers, though, don't they?
It has true.
It did have one, like, it had an LR and a Z, so it had three.
That's weird.
Yeah.
It's confusing, though, because I remember, like, the GameCube controller is a good controller for Smash Bros.
And in my experience, very little else.
Like, there's something.
It's a Mario Kart.
That's it.
Something.
I thought it was good for Star Fox.
I thought that was it.
I don't know.
Like, play Star Fox Adventures?
Well, you played that game?
Well, just, like, navigating, like, a fucking aircraft on it, actually.
It just seemed like that was all it was for.
I don't know.
I just, dude, I thought the.
64 controller was a spaceship.
That's what I'm saying.
I thought it was an aircraft for StarFile.
I thought they were selling a special kind of controller for the
Star Fox game for 64. And I was just like,
oh no, that's a controller.
And I hold it like this, then I hold it like this.
It was like, I'm wrong.
Do you guys remember the fucking little brother
controller for the 64 that was just like
one prong and then like a fucking
circle with like everything else on it?
No. What is that called?
Yeah, there was, I think it was an official Nintendo
controller. But it was like,
there was the three-pronged one, and then there was that one that I don't know why anyone
fucking owned it, but like everybody had it. And when you went over to someone's house
and they had an N-64, it's like, okay, I'll use the real one. You use this fucking piece
of shit. Let me see if I can find it. If there's any audio listeners, just Google Super
Pad 64, because that's what we're looking at right now. It's a fucking, it's a mess.
Like, it's unfinished. It's unfinished. It's an amalgam. Yeah. I mean, it looks like,
It looks like a game pad, like a fight pad, is transforming into a PS1 controller.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Super pad.
I genuinely feel like, because didn't we try to, because the Switch has the Nintendo, that
Doc where you can plug in GameCube controllers to.
And I think Sweeney and I tried to play other games that weren't Smash Brothers with the GameCube controller.
Yeah, Skyron.
Yeah, we tried to play Skyron with it because he thought it'd be fun.
And then, but like, it's just missing buttons.
So, like, you can't actually do it.
Also doesn't map well.
Most games.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We played a, on On On Ony plays, we played Mario 3D world.
And for some reason, they were like, oh, we'll use GameCube controllers.
And, like, Jump was, like, fucking Y or something.
Yeah.
It's a weird, it doesn't map well, which is why, like, that controller is not necessarily
one of my, it's my favorite for that.
for melee specifically.
Even now, like, when I play, like, when I play, like,
Ultimate, I can, I can do fine with the Joycons.
I've figured it out.
But melee is, like, really, like, that's a very melee controller to me.
But it's the only thing I've used it for.
As long as the game is designed for it, most GameCube games,
like, the right stick would just kind of turn you, like, 90 degrees or something.
It didn't really...
Lately, car buying has become a pretty dull experience.
But on eBay, behind every...
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.

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. I don't know. You kind of have to
compensate for it, but the games that did play good with it played good with it.
Have you played custom robo? Yeah, I actually did play custom robo. I love custom robo. And that
game's controls are very
C-stick-focused, and that's
like, trying to explain
playing that game to someone that's never played
that game, it's probably, it's in there with fucking
Kirby's Air Ride. Like, that
controller is built for that time
and games that have evolved
solely from that time. Kirby's
Air Ride was like stick one button,
right? Like, all you had to press was A in that game,
right? You could press A, but if you wanted to
like attack people, you'd use the C-stick.
Yeah. When you drove past them, you would like
flick the C-Stick.
stick to like bump into people.
I don't remember that.
I don't have a lot of experience with a lot of Nintendo consoles.
Like, because I remember just like, I don't know.
I feel like they make the worst controllers.
They do.
Which is like wild because they're Nintendo.
They do it on purpose.
They think it's funny.
There's no other reason not like they, as Super Nintendo was like, oh, we made a sweet
controller that people are starting to copy.
Let's like just fucking make half controllers now.
Let's not even make.
And then it took, it took what until Switch to make,
the pro controller where they have like a normal one again
that is for the Wii too
oh they had one for like the Wii you
but oh okay the Wii you it wasn't as good
the Switch Pro controller is actually good
yeah my thing is just
what were they thinking for the 64
control that's the only one I just don't like
I don't understand
what was going on it was just trying to be like unique and look cool
it's like a marketing like I feel
like there was like some kind of uh I know Nintendo's
not really edgy or anything
but I think there was like some kind of like
look at spikes.
I feel like there was...
It was the 90s.
Yeah.
I feel like that.
The Spider-Man font was all jagged.
You know, there's like, it's a very hard-edged time, even for things that weren't inherently
edgy.
Like, even just like kids cartoons were like, had like the fucking ACDC Metallica, like,
sharp edges all over it.
Dude, did you guys ever watch fucking extreme dinosaurs as a kid?
No.
I don't think of heard of that.
That's not real.
Wait.
This is real.
Wait a minute.
It was basically street sharks, but with dinosaurs.
I think I missed out on.
Did you watch Mummy's Alive?
Mommy's Alive.
This extreme dinosaur shit is so like,
this is a really grossly small fragment of my memory that's just been unlocked.
I can't believe I forgot everything about this.
It feels so quintessential to that time period to me.
How am I not aware of this?
Radical extreme.
It's dinosaurs and explosions, bro!
I think I had this on VHS.
Oh, really?
I think so.
I think the same, it is probably by the same animators as Street Sharks.
It looks very similar.
Yeah, it's like the same thing.
I think it was just that time, though.
I feel like a lot of shit was like, even like, I guess He-Man was more the 80s, but like...
Did you guys watch Sonic Underground?
No, it's not like...
Not until later.
And I never really watched it.
I'm kind of like familiar with it through like YouTube.
poops and shit. Oh my god. I'm not gonna re-go into that because I got my coin. I don't want to
get it, you know. You don't want to get back into it. Do they take it? If you drink, does your
sponsor come into your house and take all your coins? Yeah. Like a lepricon? Yeah, that's how
works. They know immediately. Yeah, they sneak into your house. It's like the tooth fairy. They sneak
into into your house in a skimpy little outfit and they take all your fucking coins.
They leave and then they spit all over you. You don't deserve this. Go back to accepting a higher
power. They spit in your fucking mouth.
they hold your mouth open, fucking hawk and fucking grind their throat,
then they hawk a lugee down your throat.
I mean, that seems unnecessary, but it's probably like, it does get the punishment across,
you know, it definitely.
You got it now.
It's like, whoa, I better not do that again unless you're like into it.
You want to drink?
How about you drink spit?
They just have a big glass of spit.
It's like smoking a whole pack of cigarettes.
They make you drink a whole glass of spit.
Oh, my God.
I hate that.
People would say that.
My grandma, I'm thirsty.
You should drink your spit when I got it really mad.
That's so fucked up.
I've been doing that the whole day.
I need water.
I need Sunny D.
I need Sunny D.
Sunny D was fucking disgusting.
I really like I can't.
It gave me kid heartburn, bro.
That shit would hurt my stomach so bad.
It tastes like an, it tastes like an energy drink, but like it's for kids.
So it's like fucking really bizarre.
Non-carbonated, but it tastes like medicine to me.
A little bit.
Yeah. It's...
You guys ever have the Mexican version?
What do you mean?
No.
Is there like a Coke?
Champico.
Tempico.
Tampico's disgusting.
I mean, it probably is now if I have it, but I remember fucking drinking a shit out of Tampico.
It's amazing.
Tampico is the fucking disgusting.
It's literally just Mexican sunny D.
I hated.
I hated my grandmother, but this is as good as Sunny D.
And I'm like, grandma, only you speak Spanish in the house.
We don't want this.
You can drink that.
I don't, that's disrespectful man.
Hell yeah it is, but I don't care.
Were you implying that it tastes different to people who speak Spanish?
Well, no, I'm implying that she wanted it because she was familiar with it.
When you drink its native tongue, it tastes sweeter.
The sweetest nectar in the world.
That shit's fucking disgusting.
I can't.
We have a decent amount of questions from our people over on Patreon.
and it's kind of all over the place
there's a lot of music questions though
which of course there would be
so I thought I would just dive into that stuff
just to guide some we don't have to get through all of them
but they're pretty good guides
for conversation look he's so sick
Lila's sickened by the premise
talking to COVID COVID
Oh my god it's not it's fucking
Dude my old person thing
because everyone gets theirs right like when you start
reaching 30 you get your like captain planet power
Like your old person thing
Mine is like stomach acid
Like that shit like rips me up
Bad
I can't start my morning
Until I spit up a brown glob
It sucks
Oh that's awesome
Yeah that's uh
You know that's part of uh
It's part of ascending
You know
This is the
The privilege of being old
Is you get all these different
My thing is I can't sneak around anymore
Because my bones crack
So I've lost
I've lost all my stealth
It's all gone
Even which is such a waste
Because I'm so lightweight
Like I could
Like if not
Not for the bones.
I'd be a, I'd be like, fucking splinter cell.
It's like a minor.
My memories are fleeting.
I'm forgetting everything.
I think I have dementia.
Yeah, you're too young for that, man.
But like, it's fine.
I remember like...
I tweeted about this like literally the other day where I, I'm kind of curious because I find
this happening to myself as well where like my memory is getting worse.
But I don't know if it's like health oriented or if it's just because I know I can Google
anything.
I commit less things.
things to memory because I know I can just Google them if I need them.
If you're talking about random information, sure.
But if you're thinking of like trying to reach back into stuff that was already stored
a long time ago and it's gone, then I'd say that's an issue.
Yeah.
On the other hand, though, it is further away.
That is true.
It is.
But I mean, fuck, man.
I talk to like my old folks and stuff and they're just like, you know, still trap shit.
Like, oh, I remember what I was like fucking that push.
in high school and shit. It's always, and I'm like,
oh damn, you remember that shit? It was fucking
50, 60 years ago. And they're like,
yeah, I remember our pussy taste and stuff.
I don't believe that. I don't believe
when like some guy who's like in his 50s
regales a story about some time when he was like 15
and he goes, oh, it was a crisp summer's day
and it was 8.15 a.m. and there were three birds in the sky
and she was wearing this very specific dress. I don't believe for a moment.
I feel like half of that shit is made up.
That's a high school lie.
that he's held on to until his 50s.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, dude, I totally fucking slept with her.
And she's from Canada so you can't meet her.
She doesn't go to this school.
She doesn't go to the same school as us.
You wouldn't know.
Dude, I heard that so much.
Like, actually for real, like, as a real thing,
people would be like, she doesn't go here.
It's like, how do you meet somebody who doesn't go here?
You're a child.
Like, what are you talking about?
But I've seen that and it'd been true before.
I've definitely been that kid that's seen someone like,
this guy's definitely lying about his girlfriend.
And then one day we're like at a place and his girlfriend shows up.
And I'm like, what?
Yeah.
That's...
I feel like I literally lied about that before, like as a kid.
Did you really?
Like, I feel like I have.
I don't, I can't have another school girlfriend?
I feel like I've lied about that.
But as like anyone at my age, it had to be bullshit.
Like, no matter what, it had to be bullshit because I'm talking about elementary shit where
Nobody has a fucking girlfriend, you know, where you're like 10 or 11 or 12 or whatever the fuck.
Yeah.
Nobody has.
No one's actually dating anyone.
So I feel like I remember talking about some shit.
And one thing I do have, though, it's fucking because of Doug, you guys remember Doug, the Nickelodeon show.
Of course.
He would write in a journal.
So I was inspired.
So from about like nine to 10 years old, I have a bunch of entries.
And it's the stupidest fucking bullshit ever.
It's like I'm talking about like women as if I'm like fucking pussy but you know clearly not.
I'm just like oh she likes me.
She likes this and it's I like her.
It's stupid shit like that man and it's a one day I want to like when I'm long dead and gone I want to like pass it around like I want to copy and be like you guys enjoy.
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.
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 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, Dan.
Hey, how's it going today?
It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do.
I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan and Morgan,
which is America's largest injury law firm.
That's pretty awesome.
I think I saw billboarded years recently. It said 20 billion one.
20 billion is an insane number.
Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year.
And each year we get bigger and 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 were always,
open or a 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 4thepieple.com for an office near
you. You glazed over the fact that you were inspired by Doug.
I just want to go back to that. Why? Why was that the guy that you were like,
I want to be just like Doug? It's inspirational. No, no, no, no, no. You're misunderstanding.
I didn't want to be like, Doug, it was the show was based on him writing in his journal.
And I thought that was a cool premise that like, oh, this guy's recording like just stupid bullshit.
And I think one day it'll be cool to go back on it and be like, oh, I remember this fucking dumb shit.
So it's less that you were, was that just like your introduction to the concept of journals?
Well
I think before that
It was just for it was like
How the perception was just for women
It was just for girls
Having a diary
It's a very girly thing
And then it was like
A journal is for
For boys or it's for
It's for dudes
And when you're journaling
Jotting your shit down
And recording your history
And so I was like
I like that
But nothing significant
Really happens
So
No yeah
Because you're a fucking child
You're not going anywhere
You're not doing it
So it's just like you have this journal.
You're like, well, I went to school and I went home again.
This is very not.
I wish I kept a journal.
I wish I kept a journal in my like my excapades through like Ebon's world and like live
leak.
Like I wish I journaled how I felt every time afterwards.
You don't want to read that shit though when you get older.
To see.
I think I would.
Sweeney, how long have you been using Facebook for?
Facebook since 2010.
Go back to your like first Facebook post and read those and tell me you would, you wish.
you kept a fucking journal.
Oh.
I encourage anyone watching this to go do that.
Go back to like your first Facebook posts.
You're like,
yeah, probably wasn't that bad.
Dude, they're bad.
It's always.
No, but that's different though.
That is like, yeah, I was cringe.
But I wanted to see the like psychological break in my character.
Like when my,
I was a different person.
Like the first time I was like,
ha ha ha, ha, I laughed at someone getting blown up.
But it's going to be extra cringe because you're not even posting it
publicly.
that you would have just like kept specifically to yourself.
So it would have been more authentically you,
which means it would have been even more embarrassing
because it's harder to distance yourself from it.
If you're like posting something on Facebook,
you'd always be like, ah, it's just a Facebook status.
I was trying to be funny.
That wasn't that funny.
But when it's like a secret, like, ooh, man, I hope,
I hope Mindy likes me.
It's like, what the fuck?
It's like the worst shit.
Dude, I would fucking shudder.
Like, I am so glad that, like,
my space is like in a fire somewhere.
like my MySpace post
Circa like 2000
fucking whatever six
would have been like
oh man
they would have been shit like
yeah I've got an opinion on this
don't like it
fuck you send me hate mail
I don't care and it's like
oh my god
12 who are you getting hate mail from
that that was sick
I was just like yeah
Jesus not real
and gay
fuck you
and gay
I wish I wish I was like that.
I was too busy being like, honestly, this new little Wayne album isn't that good.
You still post shit like that.
But absolutely.
But when I wasn't kidding, it was like not antagonistic.
It was just simple.
It was just like, I didn't really like this that much.
I genuinely think a journal, if you were to go back and look at your like journal entries from whatever it is you're wishing you had, you know, whatever time period it is you're wishing you had kept them from.
I don't think they would be any different than the stuff that you post today.
I sincerely don't think.
I think it was less antagonistic.
It was more just me genuinely getting my opinion out there, opposed to me saying shit to just make particularly anime fans mad.
Like, that shit is fucking, dude, my life gets extended from that shit.
But you are still, you are still so consistently wrong on everything that you've ever said.
I mean, yeah, that's, I'm wrong to you.
No, you're not.
You're wrong to everybody.
All right.
You can say whatever you want.
You can say whatever you want.
I'm wrong to you.
Lyle, have you seen Invincible?
Yeah.
We had an argument literally yesterday that spanned for like, I think, like 30 whole minutes,
where he was trying to convince me that Omni Man is more similar to the Hulk than he is similar to Superman.
And this is a genuine take.
My reference was only due to powers.
I was not saying design.
right that was saying his powers
but that's what I was talking about
what powers like flying
you mean powers like flying and being
an alien and like
that's not a power is what he is I say flying
and he's being strong
Superman's strong
yeah Superman's strong so is the Hulk
that's it like he's just like power
like one thing that they both do
they both do he was like oh
Superman could fucking see through
I was just arguing that Superman has so many
fucking ridiculous other powers
other than just being flying and being strong.
Omni Man's got like super hearing and shit, right?
No, he doesn't.
He just looked at some guy and looked at somebody else.
That's it.
No, there's totally a scene where it's like they're like invisible in his house.
Remember?
Yeah, that's not.
Someone's being invisible in my house.
I don't think he has a sub-hearing.
Oppose a Superman hearing people from miles away and shit.
And hearing in space.
So how is that more similar to?
There's literally a character in that show that's the Hulk.
Lately, Carbying has become a pretty dull experience.

Thanks for having me. Visit for the people.com for an office near you.
And Vince?
Yeah, the little girl.
Monster girl. Turns into the fucking goblin.
She's the Hulk. I guess.
How is Bill? How is she?
not more similar to the Hulkman fucking
she is, she is, look,
she is based on how she looks, but
not how she operates. Why are we doing
this? Why are we doing this?
I don't know. It just, it just
made me so upset. Wait, are you saying that because he's
bad and Superman is good, that makes
them so fundamentally different that you just... No,
I wouldn't say that. I would say it's like all the powers
Superman has. Man's a ton of fucking
of ton of powers and you do all this
fucking wild shit.
To make it sneeze galaxies apart.
Here's all I was saying.
If you were trying to describe Omneman to someone, you wouldn't say, oh, he's like a weaker Hulk.
I agree with you on that.
And I agree with you on that.
You serious?
What were you saying, Derek?
Nothing.
I just, I just, I can't stop, dude.
I just, I can't stop quoting fucking Spider-Man.
He's quoted Spider-Man.
We're just like, you serious?
Like, just all the quotes.
All the quotes were fucking Sam-Rababby Spider-Man.
Like, it's just, I need help.
In print, it's liable.
It is a really quote.
Quotable series, even the third one's like super quotable.
Did you see those like behind the scenes videos of them like filming the the dance scene that got like put out recently?
Like we're like there's like footage of of them shooting the scene where Emo Peter is like dancing down the street.
And it's just as embarrassing as you would imagine.
And it doesn't have the music behind it right?
So he's just like, so he's just moving.
Yeah, they're not even like they're not even playing it over like a loud speaker.
or anything. It's, it's really jarring. So he's just gesturing. He's just doing movement. Everybody's
like, what is he doing? Yeah. That would be a great like Creed Shredds style video. Oh, God, that's,
man, I, oh, don't even get me started on that shit. That's just, that was all my lifeblood,
just that YouTube, just that bullshit. I didn't care about discourse or, like, talent or anything,
like, where people try to show me, like, really cool stuff. I'm like, I don't care. Just show me
YouTube poop and shreds videos. Yeah, yeah.
Like just that's all I want to see just the dumbest shit and I mean I guess I'm still kind of the same to be honest
I appreciate when people send me cool shit but I'm like I'd rather you just send me stuff that's so fucking stupid that like if a normal person saw it they would think you're like you know something you're something yeah yeah it's like that shit it's like those like remixes of uh
there are like these two I don't know what to call them I think Lyle actually like I think I saw it in in oh you're talking about the Disney ones yeah the Disney
The Disney remix.
What do they call?
They're called multi-editor projects, MEPs.
And they're basically just all these people will cut out Disney characters from shit
and then put them against green screens and they'll like share them around.
So people will like fucking like they'll be there's like an infamous one called like you'll be my spouse or something like that.
I love that.
You're my spouse now.
I showed that video to my girlfriend, her dad, her cousins, her meos.
No, you don't take that to that kind of.
Why would you do that?
Wait, did you actually get it, did they?
They didn't get it, did they?
I showed it to her.
I showed it to her.
I showed it to her cousins, her brother, her ninos.
How did they respond?
They were all so confused.
Exactly.
Every single one of them started cackling when they saw Prince Eric with cancer hair.
Yeah, it's got like a big like crescendo at the end where he like walks out,
looks like a frog man because they took off like the wrong part of his skin.
scalp so he doesn't have like a forehead anymore. It's very weird. Dude, it's so beautiful. That video has become one of my favorite videos. It's genuinely super well edited too. Like I'm watching and I'm like that's it really. I mean, that's definitely bald fucking what's his face? Whatever character that is. Nobody remembers the Disney Prince's names. But those fucking videos are the best. But I think I'm I think I'm the same where it's like if because I can appreciate like a really well put together.
other like if it's like
even something like those okay go music
videos which like I don't I wouldn't listen to those
but like as a music video it's like that's
really fucking impressive and super
hard to do but like I'll watch that once
and then be like that was cool and then like I won't
watch it again but we still
periodically will put on
this video that I don't even think I can
really say
what it is because
which one it's give me a little bit of it's slenderman
versus Freddie Fasbear
oh yeah
I'm sure
I tweeted it
I tweeted a few days ago
and it was perfect
It's one of the most vile
Fucking things I've ever seen
But like I can't
I can't escape
Have you seen the epic rap battles
Of cancer, Lyle?
No but you gotta send this to me
I'll send it to you immediately after
I'll drop it a discord
I'll drop in a discord
It's really fucking
It's real magic
It falls upon
It's like the first minute
In 20 seconds is like
Is where that
You don't
best content ever. You don't need the rest of it, but like, I've just never seen kids use the N-word
so freely and with such gusto in the context of this. What's that, what's that company? Is it literally
just epic rap battles? Is that like literally what it's called? Like, I've watched this video
at least 10 times, and the first minute this video is the best that YouTube can create. Yeah,
yeah. Like, you can't get better. Or you can't get better on internet. All right. We got to
first things up.
Heartless Wretch,
aka Evan W. I'm not going to read the whole
fucking it. Heartless Wretch wrote it and he says,
nothing funny to say this time. Just wanted to
say, I've been watching since the
Guitar Master X7 days.
You got a lot of people from like really old.
From Brawlgazim to the Swagelagin podcast. I've always been a fan of your
content. It got me through some dark times as a kid.
26 now. Thanks for just, thanks for
putting shit out and beating yourself. I've also been hoarding
gold for like 10 years because of you. I know the
truth and I will be ready. You know the fuck
up thing is I started joking about buying gold at what would basically have been the good time to
start buying gold. So if anybody took that joke seriously, they would have actually made money.
I'm not saying to do that with anything I say in the future, but I'm just saying that one worked out.
But no, you know what's weird about that is...

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.
I was thinking about this the other day
is with people that have, like, been on the internet,
you know, like, you can see my career two ways, right?
You could see me as like being, doing the same thing for, like,
fuck, 14 years, 2007, when would that?
put this. Yeah, like 14 years now.
Mm-hmm.
You could see me as like doing the same thing or it's, it's almost to me, like, the way
that I see it is like, it's almost like working different jobs, but it's like one job,
like follows you into the next job.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
But like if you, if you fucking quit being like a Starbucks barista and then you start cutting
hair or something, no one fucking comes into like the barber shop and goes like, man, could
you make a fucking coffee like you used to?
like that that never happens.
Yeah, yeah.
But because it's like, you know,
I started doing this when I was like 14, 15.
So, you know, it's been a fucking long time.
Like, and in a weird way, I think a lot of people have like grown up with it.
So they've kind of like, they've grown out of my old shit the same time I grew out of my old shit,
which is thankful for that.
But yeah, no, that's just a very like strange phenomenon.
Yeah.
I think about sometimes.
Yeah, it's like an evolving job kind of where it just like consistently like changes even
though it's kind of this.
It's not the same thing, but it's it's, you know, it's still like online content and it's
still like self-produced and it's still like, you know, your personality kind of reflected in it
in some way.
It's just that the personality changes or like the type of content will change or like the delivery
or like whatever.
It is interesting that there are people.
around from that time because I still get people like hey you should do covers like you used to and it's like ah
you know or like just all this other stuff where it's like you should I had somebody messes me
recently was like hey can you re-upload those machinima's you used to make and I'm like no like what are
you talking about cutie lee rodin says hey a rowdy rough boys and guests what what games if any
have been influential music wise for you this is kind of
cheat answer, but
smash bros, like melee, specifically.
That came out such with fucking music.
Yeah.
Like the FD and melee.
The F0 stuff in there, like the fucking,
like the main theme is real sick.
Aside from that, for me personally,
like guilty gear, especially like accent core
had some real sick shit.
Metal Gear Solid.
Fucking Harry Gregus and Williams shit on Metal Gear Solid is
like Ace.
Halo, obviously. Halo 3.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. There's, there's, I feel like this.
I definitely, I think,
Halo for me, but I think, I think Bastion,
which, that's super giant games,
the same guys, the same people that made Hades.
But that was a game that, like,
that whole game, that soundtrack is like,
I'm pretty sure it's like in Dadgad,
and it's like this very weird, like,
kind of like,
electronic of Western,
kind of Celtic shit and I just fucking
like if I'm writing music
which I do occasionally I just don't post it because I can't mix
but I'll usually like
change the tuning to Dadgad just in case
just to get like some weird sound because there's always some
weird shit that you can do in that tuning that like
I find hard to do in any other one
yeah I like Bastion's soundtrack a lot
but I kind of like it because it's sort of its own thing
like I don't know that I draw inspiration from it
Right, right.
Just because it's so like unique and weird sounding.
Like if you wrote something that sounded like the Bastion soundtrack, I feel like...
Yeah, no, people...
People would pick up on it, you know what I mean?
Yeah, it would definitely be identifiable.
But like, I've even just...
Because I've written songs that don't sound anything like it, but just like in that tuning,
it just sounds very different than how it would normally sound,
even if it doesn't sound exactly like the Bastion's...
I just like the way that tuning sounds in general.
Like even when you're playing shit that's not...
Western sounding at all. I guess the only thing I was trying to think of if there was anything's
unique, but it's really just kind of basic. It's, there's, I mean, Street Fighter 2, but there is
specifically, um, there's this Street Fighter collection game that were, it was the first time
they had this specific remix of all the, all the classics that pretty much everybody recognizes
today as like, oh, this is Giles theme. It's like that specific version. Like when I, it was, it was
the things that made me pick up, it made me want to play, like, the guitar, for example, to help
a lot more. And when I would hear these things, or the Mega Man X, OST, that, like, when I would
hear this, I was like, okay, I have to pick these fucking things up. And, and I always enjoyed, like,
that kind of style. And when people would make up their own songs, like, I had this friend,
Alex, that was, like, a prodigy, was just a master. And he would just write all this stuff.
And you would just throw it away.
He would just throw it away because he's just like, oh, whatever.
I was bored.
And I'm like, this is, you could sell this shit for like however much you want.
But it would always sound like it would be for one of the Mega Man X's.
Like, he would just write shit like that.
And then just throw it away.
And I'm like, what the fuck?
Yeah.
But I love stuff like that.
And that's, I don't know, but I'm not.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm a terrible musician.
So I can't write like what I hear in my head.
I can't particularly like write some of the,
shit that I hear and I'm like dude
and I'm too lazy to learn so I don't really care
there's there's games like that though that make you just want to
fucking pick shit like um
I think the thing that because I was playing acoustic guitar for a really
a long time and then like I think the Dragon Ballsie
Budakai games made me want to buy an electric guitar
because like just this interesting
the intro soundtracks fucking slap
and like the thing that sucks is they remastered those games
and none of the music's in it yeah the guy got in trouble
because he ripped off Iron Maiden so he'd
fucking
So the soundtrack in it is like really, really shit.
It really sucks because that's like half of the...
That's like, I think, 50% of the enjoyment that I got out of those games.
It's just like, these tracks are awesome.
The intro tracks were always so good.
Dude, so fucking good.
Fuck, man.
Yeah, those were...
Those are pretty big ones.
That's crazy.
For me, I love...
The Skyrim theme is so classic to me.
That's like what Epic Adventure means to my brain.
Now, other than The Witcher,
Witcher's music obviously is fantastic for me as well.
That's also, the Skyrim theme is just the Elder Scrolls theme in general,
because that goes back to Marrwin.
Kind of, yeah, yeah.
Does Marwan have the same theme?
It has...
It doesn't have like the Viking chant or anything, but...
Yeah, yeah.
It follows the same melody,
but then in Skyrim it breaks into the, you know, the Viking,
like Doviken shit.
Oh, Devil May Cry 5.
Oh, Lord.
Oh, yeah, Devil May Cry has always had kind of cool.
like fucking like uh i don't know what i guess industrial is what you'd call yeah i would think so too
yeah like just like the rare good industrial you know what i mean yeah oh my god it's it's fun
five gave me a boner i games music gave me a fucking really i love that shit i love how do you feel
about uh metal gear rising uh i i love that fucking soundtrack the soundtrack um i hate that game
but sound trick is good.
Wait, why do you hate that game?
I don't like rising at all.
I don't like rising at all.
I know a lot of people that feel the same way.
But that's just me being a very
metal gear solid fan.
That's me being a really matter of gear solid fan.
I hate.
That's why I don't like five either.
I hate, I hate metrague solid five.
Yeah.
That one I'm a little more with you on.
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 20-20 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,
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.
load a salon and 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.
I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan and Morgan, which is America's
largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I saw a billboard of years recently that said
20 billion one. 20 million is an insane number. Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think,
somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and badder
and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on.
Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an
accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. That's pound 529 from your cell phone.
We are always open.
Our call center is always waiting to take your call.
24-7, 365.
Wow.
Dan Morgan.
From Morgan and Morgan, America's Large Injury Lawfirm, thanks for coming by the show.
Thanks for having me.
Visit for thepeople.com for an office near you.
No, I like that.
Rising's cool for it's cool for.
Like, Armstrong's cool, but it's like, what's happening?
I also don't like riding.
That's what makes that game charming, though, is because it's like riding,
running around throwing out these shitty one-liners and like.
It's charming.
I still want him dead.
Would you like him if he, if he, say he wasn't in number two?
Yo, two is where my hate comes from.
That's what I thought.
That's what I thought.
I probably like him more.
I hate him so much into.
That's what I thought.
But it's not because of like his character being bad.
It's just he sounds like the biggest pussy ever, bro.
He just whines the whole game and I'm like, bro.
It's okay.
It's okay.
You don't have to like fucking fantastic video games.
You don't have to.
It's a great game.
I didn't say I don't like the game.
I just hate his voice.
He'd just shut the fuck up.
I never minded it.
I don't know.
It didn't bother me at all.
Everyone I love gets hurt.
I think my favorite Onee plays play-through that we've ever done was Metal Gear Rising.
That was like the most fun we've had with one, I think.
What else do we got here?
We got Nikki Ziggy, Rodney.
He says, Hello, Lyle and the Usuals.
I have a music question for you guys.
I play the cello and I've always been,
I've always thought about other instruments I'd like to play.
I personally always thought about playing the sax.
What instruments, if any, would you like to learn or think would be super cool to pick up
if you wanted to give them a shot?
For me, it's the bass.
If I really, like,
of course.
Started playing instruments again, I'd play the bass all the time.
Yeah?
Yeah.
I want to get a bass guitar.
I've never,
I never fucked around with a bass really.
Do it.
Yeah, I know I should.
I have, like, so many guitars.
I don't know why I just don't have a bass.
It's like actually like a super.
ineffective use of my fucking space.
Or the therium or the theorem,
or whatever it's called?
Pharaman?
That thing, that...
Thereman, yeah,
that one, that sounds like the fucking end of the days.
That shit sounds so fucking cool.
I wish I could play like air,
like woodwinds.
Like, there's something kind of like neat about that,
but like, I just remember being like a kid
and they're like, you should learn the recorder
and the recorder sucks as an instrument.
It really does, yeah.
So like, it's like the worst possible introduction
to that entire,
like genre of equipment
that it's just like... Well it's stupid because recorders
was literally for recording
music. It wasn't supposed to be like
some awesome awesome instrument to like
enjoy. That's why it's called a fucking recorder.
But like there had
to have been like some sort of
marketing scheme involving those
where it was like a bunch
of tax money got dumped into like
some scam where they could
because the recorder is a I would assume
a really cheap instrument to manufacture right?
It's fucking plastic. Yeah.
So like there had to, I have a theory that there was some kind of like thing that went on with that in like the 90s, 2000s where they would like bring them into schools and be like, let's see how many of these we can fucking offload and get some sort of like tax dollar thing.
I wouldn't be surprised.
I have some kind of, there's something to that.
I guarantee if you Google it and look deep enough, you'll probably find something like that.
As for the question though, my answer, you know, the thing that I jumped.
to immediately, like my, my immediate, like, brain thought was the sitar, just because I think that
fucking instrument sounds so goddamn cool.
Oh, the guitar piano?
No, the sitar is, like, that, that Indian thing.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're thinking of a...
Fat neck.
You're thinking of a keytar.
Keytar.
That's, that one would also be cool.
But for some reason, like, my brain jumped to, like, kind of, like, old-timey, like,
like, classically, or, like, even something, like, more like the cello or the violin.
just because I like the way that they sound
but I also
I also have zero aspirations
to ever like get a violin
and actually learn out of play it
because it's like
that that's a pretty in-depth thing
I think I'll probably just stick to guitar
sit-tart though would be like really fucking cool
I love the way that they sound
yeah I feel like people who play
violin really really well
probably can't do
it probably can't do anything else
you know it feels like that's such
an all-encompassing
skill especially the people who like fucking prance around while they're fucking playing yeah it's just
like yeah i have one friend who plays violin and piano very well that's it he's he plays both of
those two and he's like i didn't go outside when i was little he's like i never went outside
i started hanging out outside when i was like is he just like a is he just like a pale varicose
vained fucking godlin he's a very white chilean person who like when he when he met us when we
moved upstate he was like thank god i'm outside i'm
sick of being in like my mildly lit house playing instruments.
And I was like, damn, dude, let's go smoke weed.
Yeah.
I feel like brass is like that too.
I feel like if you play one, it's like I'm done.
I'm not fucking like touching another one.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, I never got into that.
Anything brass and anything, anything where you really have to blow,
especially like the trumpet or something where you have to like really blow into it.
And I still barely know how to, like my friend had one.
And the way you have to puck your lips and blow it to,
I still don't, until this day, I don't understand.
Like when I would blow into it, it would make a stupid noise,
but not the noise that I wanted it to.
And I'm like, why wouldn't, and if you see, like, really good trumpet players,
they're always about to pass out.
Like, look at them.
Look at their faces.
Yeah, they're sweating bullets.
They're fucking like.
Their cheeks are always expanding that mass.
Why would you want to do that?
That doesn't look fun at all.
It does look like a.
super painful instrument to play
in comparison to like literally any other kind
like even drums like people who like
I wish I could play drums but I don't have rhythm like that
yeah drums would be fun
I want a drum thing I feel like drums are the easiest
instrument
piano is not the easiest
it's not the easiest but it's the one
it's the it's I would say
it's one of the
only instruments you can pick up
in my opinion without
actually playing the instrument
and I say that because
what I used to do was I used to do a lot of air drumming from watching videos.
I would watch a lot of music videos, like a ton of them.
And I would just mimic what they were doing.
And when it was time to get on a drum set, I already had the concept down.
Because like if somebody's doing like just, you know, like you're just doing like a basic like, like, um, like you're just doing some like four count or something.
You're doing anything.
You're not doing anything like, you're just doing that.
If you see someone doing it, you can do it.
You're just doing this.
Okay, you're just doing it.
Once you get on it, it's basically the same thing.
It's why people learn how to play drums playing like guitar hero and all that bullshit.
Because they're not, they're not like actually playing the drums per se.
I see what you're saying.
It's definitely the thing that translates to guitar hero the best.
But it's the part of it that gets really tricky is where you have to have like your beat on one rhythm and then your arms on something else and shit like that.
Like your brain has to be two places.
That was never hard for me.
but I also learned how to play piano first.
That was the first instrument I ever, like, got into.
And my brain got used to, like, this is, this hand's doing something, this hand's doing something.
And then my feet might try to keep the beat for myself.
So that's why that coincided where I felt like drums was just like a easy thing.
Because I learned, I learned the two to count where it'd be like one foot, what's we got, one foot one like snare.
And that was the only thing that was difficult for me.
Then I just got it.
Yeah.
I just can't do the foot thing.
It throws me off.
I can't do that.
You just do it.
See how it works is you just keep trying until your brain gets it.
And then you have it forever.
I know how,
I understand like how it works.
Like I've tried.
It's not like I haven't tried this.
It's just like I,
I think I just my foot,
my foot isn't like dexterous enough to fucking do it like that.
And like,
it's just,
it's different fucking thing.
I don't think drums are the,
I don't think drums are the easiest.
I think piano is the easiest one.
I think piano and drums at ease, I'd say.
I think, like, say, just because, like, piano, when I look at a piano, I still don't see,
it's because I'm just stupid and I don't care to learn.
I don't see chords.
Like, when I just see keys.
And then I figure it out.
Like, I play the keyboard a little bit, and I figure things out.
I'm like, this is what I need to do or whatever.
But I'm just looking at a bunch of keys and stuff.
When I see a drum set, I see just like, I don't need to see.
It's just there.
and you just sit down
and then you can kind of like navigate through
like you don't really need any prior knowledge
to what kind of know is this or what's that like say
I guarantee you in one day
you can learn how to play back in black or something
on on the drums
if you just took the day to do it
now if you try to play let's say
I don't know I was trying to think of something that's not too difficult
on the piano like even like
just hard and stuff
soul's the easiest. Play fucking, what's that?
My Immortal from Evanescence and then
just try to like play it all the way through without
fucking up. I just can't, I don't know, man. I feel like
smacking just these drums, kind of like people
getting buckets and making like really good noises and
stuff and it all kind of flows together. It doesn't really take the type of
knowledge or, you know, where to say if you want to make a
a chord, you kind of have to know, like,
oh, I got to put my fingers here and do this,
where all you got to do is hit something.
You hit it, and it makes noise.
But specifically, as far as, like, writing a song goes,
I feel like, like, you can't really write a drum song.
You know, like, you have to write everything else
for the drums to kind of, like, to give the drums space,
and then, like, yeah.
And then, like, you have to, like,
if the drums are taking too much space,
then you've got to reorganize, like,
certain other instruments.
And it's, like, you can't really start with the drums, I feel like.
Maybe you can.
Writing-wise, that maybe not.
A lot of Prague?
Prague and, like, gent and, like, that sort of genre.
You could maybe argue or, like, drum songs or drum-centric.
Drum-led.
Yeah, maybe I guess there's some Prague that's kind of like that.
I feel like a lot of music is drum-led, but I feel like not a lot of songs are like,
because drums just keep the beat.
That's always the thought of drums as.
They were just, like, going to keep the beat.
Or the drums at a bass, or just going to keep, like, the flat line of the music just going from point to
point, but I've never really heard
a song that's mostly about drums.
Well, about
drums. Yeah, mostly about the drums. I know what you mean, but like, say,
listen to you, like Derek, would you consider like
Musugas bleed? Would you consider that like a drum song?
Yes and no. I yes and no. Just because, you know, it's
the, really, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
kick of that song is really the driving force of that song.
That's basically, you know, the triplets.
that are being done
and playing in unison
with the guitar.
I feel like if,
like say for example,
if he wasn't playing along
with the guitar
and was just doing a simple
like, like I said,
like a black and back and black type of beat
where you literally could,
like he's playing what he's playing,
you know what he's playing with the symbols,
when he's playing with the high hat.
You know how it's different.
I can't,
I'm retarded.
I'm not a drummer.
So I don't know what the terminology is called,
but it's like where he's doing those triplets
with his feet and then he's playing something different
with the high hat.
Like he could just play a one kick like just playing along with just one kick and it would be a very boring song.
It would just be guitar oriented.
It would just be the guitarist going, da-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-and-th.
And then people would be like, oh, that's cool.
But once you start having the kick play along with it, I feel like the drums completely steal that fucking song.
If you know what I'm saying, like I feel like because of what he's doing with the kick, it becomes a drum-oriented song.
because otherwise,
I don't think anybody
would really be talking about it.
Yeah,
it's kind of a whatever song
outside of the drums.
Yeah.
Like people,
and that's how,
yeah,
it gets like Prague,
Prague and metal,
that I think that holds true as well.
Like,
say,
what's that one song,
Y, Y, Y, Z,
I think.
Oh, yeah,
yeah.
Yeah,
from,
oh my God,
I'm fucking blanking.
But you got,
the Canadian band.
Rush,
Rush, thank you.
Yeah, like that.
Like, the way that it even starts off with the bells,
and then they're just kind of, like, playing along with the drums.
And that was, like, the first time that I really,
I think I, I never heard that song before Guitar Hero,
because I only heard, like, the, like, Tom Sawyer or whatever the fuck.
Yeah, yeah.
And then I heard that song, I was like, what the fuck, man?
That shit was crazy.
And it was around the time I was listening to bands,
like the faceless, these technical death metal,
bands that were doing all this crazy shit. I'm like, oh, I see where they get their influence from.
This is insane. Like, these fucking guys were doing shit like this so long ago, and I had no idea.
And, uh, but yeah, but most bands don't do shit like that, right? The drums are like you said,
just to keep, just to, uh, lock in the beat, just to stay on pocket. And it sounds weird if the
drums aren't there, you know, like, it just sounds like ominous kind of ambiance.
It's just floating. And then when you have a drum set, the kind of ground things, it sounds so
fucking different, but I don't know.
I'm not a drummer, so fucking real drummers are probably like, I don't know, probably
upset right now, listen to me talk.
Yeah, that is fair.
Yeah, we, I don't know.
I don't know shit about drums, so like, I wish I could play them, though.
That would be nice.
Like, it's definitely like, some kind of would win just because I'm curious about it,
and drums would be the things that I was like, oh man, I wish I could play that, but.
Ah.
Right.
Not to stay on this way too long, but dude, I just, fuck it.
Like, I don't know what you would consider, like, EDM music or, like, hip hop
or anything like that.
they don't have like a real drum set,
but that's,
that's definitely something that's rhythm led.
Oh,
yeah,
like drum led.
Without the drum,
yeah.
Yeah,
that's very true.
Because,
yeah,
like,
we're like,
I guess that is fair,
yeah.
Classic rap.
It's usually,
um,
we're New York style.
I can't say classic.
I'll say New York style rap.
Usually if it's,
uh,
it's led by a brass instrument.
So sort of like,
like,
trumpet or saxophone.
And then,
then,
the person wraps on the beat in that the trumpet at the side keeps the beat for them for the most part
for that but when it comes to e dm edm tend to have drums or sometimes have like drum beats to it
yeah yeah there's like electronic drum kits i would imagine that's like yeah i'm not i'm not sure if
that counts i think i think it kind of does right i don't know because like anyway yeah yeah we could
we got we got way off on that one
I don't remember what your initial question was.
Yeah, I mean, either.
I deleted it.
You never do.
Like instruments that you wish you could play.
That was, yeah, that was it.
We got it.
We got everything.
Huggard Derek wrote in.
He says,
What's up, you gang of mistrients?
Do you guys value,
do you guys find value in going out to a restaurant
and getting a good sandwich?
Or are you of the mindset?
I could just make a sandwich at home.
Personally, I love Jimmy Johns or Firehouse.
I've never been to Firehouse.
I don't know what the fuck that is.
Oh, so he's talking about like a sub.
Would you go out and buy a sandwich?
Oh, no.
No, never.
Unless I'm back east.
What?
Unless I'm back east.
No, I never.
Have you ever had a good sandwich?
I have back east.
You're crazy.
I definitely buy a sandwich, but not.
If you're talking like a peanut butter and jelly or something that I would realistically make, no.
No.
No, see, when he said, like, Jimmy Johnson, he's talking about, like, a subs sandwich.
He's talking about something that's...
Yeah, like a good sauce.
No, yeah.
You're talking like a good-ass sandwich.
Like, yeah, yeah, I mean, definitely, yeah.
You would, you honestly, you wouldn't?
What is why?
I can make a better sandwich than them.
No, you can't.
I know what I want more than they're going to be able to give me what I want,
so I just make it myself.
Don't you have problems cooking pasta?
I fuck up cooking pasta sometimes,
but you've been witness to the fact that I'm a pretty good cook.
I mean, yeah.
There's a certain type of sandwich that I probably
wouldn't. Like I would probably never get like a ham and cheese sandwich on like
rye bread or something like that. Like if we're talking like a sub. Yeah like like yeah I like like
not sponsor or anything but like I fucking I love Jersey mics and the fucking like they'll put
they they make a fucking really good like genuine cold Italian sub that's actually sincerely
delicious. Yeah, why are you making that fucking face? I had Jersey Mike twice every time I was let
down. I was like I just I can just I can make this better. No you can't I know I could just make this
better. Yeah, like, I could, I'd prefer mine.
All right. I love it. I would love it.
I like a sandwich place that's like right
next to Pink's in
LA called like
All About the Bread. It's so
fucking good. I've never been there.
I've been around pinks too before.
Is it how close?
It is literally the next lot over
from Pink's and it's fucking
I made myself want one
now just talking about it.
Next time I'm going, I'll actually hit you up
because I usually go to Guitar Center and then I go there.
afterwards. Yeah, let me know.
If I'm doing that, I'll actually hit you up.
All right. I'm actually getting fucking stupid
hungry talking about that. I'm starving.
I haven't eaten yet today.
Yo, as a matter of fact, I have a beef Italian sub
from portillo's with what they have
the au jus. They call it gravy, but you know,
it's basically a French tip. I hate you. Stop.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
It's just chilling there. It's waiting to be consumed,
but I'm not, I don't eat in my room anymore
because when I just came back from vacation,
I had like some food, and when I woke up to pee,
there was ants and I was like oh fuck
alright never mind oh my god ants
yeah we're not doing this anymore
they fucking I fucking
ants are so fucking
annoying because they're just like
they're only there to
piss you off yeah
like they don't they don't really
They just bother you they don't bother anyone else
Yeah
they're like I don't know I'd rather
have like ants than roaches I guess
but like oh yeah oh yeah
but they're really like on that
chopping block
where it's
It's too many of them.
It's fucking annoying to fucking get rid of them.
I have all this carpet and shit and I have to like vacuum them and shit.
I remember,
you remember that time,
Kingston where we had like a wall of them coming like a lot,
like a whole like it was like a military formation like all around the house.
It was like and they never broke the formation.
It was just like consistent line of ants.
Dude, there were some going and some coming.
So they were like crowing past each other.
And I was like,
this is unbelievable.
It's like people playing Death Stranding building a highway together.
It was like fucking really just.
the weirdest shit I've ever seen.
Animals are strange, man.
I don't know.
I feel like any amount of insects in your house is a fucking bad thing, but ants and roaches are...
I just don't respect roaches as animals.
You don't respect them?
They don't even bother you.
They don't even bother you.
They're just there, and they're gross.
Because roaches don't bite you or anything.
They're not going to, like, crawl onto your face and, like, scoop, like, Oreo scoop your face off,
like a fucking camel spider.
So do you respect mosquitoes?
No, I guess not.
No one does.
Mosquitoes are proof that God doesn't exist.
But are mosquitoes?
But are the same way that roaches are?
You know, like...
No.
You can have like a mosquito infestation, I guess.
Theoretical?
No, unless you live in a fucking lake.
You got a mosquito hive.
A fucking hot lake.
The mosquito hive in your house.
The mosquito house.
I don't know.
I just think roaches are just...
It's why I just don't...
It's why I don't eat crab and like lobster and shit because I feel like it's the same exact
animal.
Like I've crushed roaches before and it's like that's a tiny lobster.
Like actually like from the inside out, it's the same fucking creature.
Is that where you are on eating bugs?
You're not going to eat the bugs?
I'm not going to eat the bugs, but I was unfortunately forced to eat a bug recently.
That's unforgivable.
What did someone double dog dare you or something?
Why were you forced to eat a bug?
Because I was on a stream with Lacey a couple of
They, like, I think like two weeks ago,
I was like, hey, we should do a stream together.
We haven't streamed in a long time.
I was like, yeah, that sounds fun.
And they're just like, oh, get a, well,
I'm gonna blindfold you.
I'm gonna feed you, like, weird shit.
It was, it was just like standard, like, meme shit,
like, like, vegemite and, like, I don't know,
like, like, lime curd, just like weird shit.
And then out came the fucking jalapeno garlic crickets.
And I immediately-
Did you like it?
No, I immediately knew it was crickets.
And it was a sad day for me,
because I had gone.
I'd gone so long.
You don't want to tell me to fit a bug, man.
I'm telling you, man.
I don't, I ain't friends with somebody who feeds me bugs.
Like, we ain't cool anymore.
Like, we cut all ties after that shit.
Especially if they know you really don't fuck with it, you know.
That's where I would have been like, damn.
She found a loophole.
She found a loophole because I was so specific about it.
Because I was like, oh, just don't give me cicadas.
Because that was like the thing that was going around.
That was like the cicada thing where everybody was like the broodac cicadas are out and you should fucking put them in your protein shakes and all this fucking buzzfeed nonsense.
I don't want to go off on a whole fucking thing, but I am not eating bugs like under the current FDA.
Strengthen the FDA and then maybe, maybe.
No, no, no.
Wait, what do you mean?
What do you mean?
Well, the FDA is fucking trash.
The United States FDA is like so fucking bad.
They're like, you can have just a little bit of poison in your corn flakes.
That's okay.
Like, they suck.
Do you know what they do?
They're really bad.
They like let whatever on the market and then they'll regulate it afterwards.
Like, say, for example, literally.
I've had a few, like, I used to have this recovery supplement that was, I know it had some shit that shouldn't be in there.
Because.
This is a C4?
You would like, no, no, not C4.
It was just, whatever it was, it was some.
Superphal.
It wasn't a famous brand.
It wasn't a famous brand.
It was just something.
thing and it said recovery on it specifically.
Not like say now all you see is BCAA supplements.
This is before that became popular.
So it wasn't like, oh, just all aminos.
There was something in it that was you recovered.
I mean, if you fucking shredded and you had all the, you know,
your sore and all the acids were fucking new up, the next day you were good.
And that's not like there is nothing on the market that you can have that's that good.
That, you know, like so they were doing something.
And then all of a sudden they're like, okay, hey, you can't have that in.
You can't do that.
And I know I mentioned this on the podcast, too.
The Bob Marley ice teas they used to have,
it had a shit ton of melatonin, like way too much,
to the point where if you drank it,
you were asleep for a day.
You were fucking, you would go to sleep and you would die.
It sounds amazing.
People are going to the liquor stores and buying them,
and then they're driving,
and then they fucking probably crashed in shit.
It was way too much.
And they're like...
That sounds amazing, man.
It wasn't.
It wasn't, man.
I sleep for like six hours usually.
I drank one.
I slept for like 15 or 16 hours.
I was so fucking mad.
I was like, dude.
Did you feel rested though?
Did you feel rested when you got out?
No, I felt like someone beat the shit out of me.
Like, I was so out of it and drowsy.
Like you ever woke up in the middle of the night to take a piss after you had like some nighttime bidded drill or whatever?
Like you're so fucking drowsy, you can barely even focus on what you're doing.
Yeah.
Also, also just being asleep for that long.
like a diminishing return that you get on
your amount of rest where like
after a certain point
you can't really rest more you're just like
wasting energy that you could have
spent alive and like doing things
sleeping so you just wake up in this
like groggy dazed state
like you just got hit by a fucking tire on
freeway my recent
vacation so whenever I eat ice cream
I get really fucking
drowsy I don't know why
so this vacation
no ice cream it's yogurt particularly it's
So this vacation, I took a Benadro and I ate yogurt.
And I kid you not, I fell asleep.
I fell asleep before I got to the bed in the hotel.
Like I was walking to the bed and before I laid down I was asleep.
And I woke up halfway on the bed.
You know why, Kingston?
Why?
I have an idea.
Probably fucking allergic.
I think you're allergic to this shit.
Like you don't act right when you have your, it's actually like really bizarre.
So this is real. He's not...
No, this isn't a bit.
But what's in yogurt to fuck him up that bad?
I don't know. I'm allergic to fucking penicillin and shit.
People are allergic to all sorts of weird shit.
That's fucked up.
Do I really get that strange when I eat yogurt?
Yes.
Yes, you like...
I just get tired.
Snore stupid loud, like, concerningly loud.
Like, to the point where, like, I thought...
I remember I woke up once and I was like already like...
I was already drunk and like I was asleep for like an hour.
And then I woke.
up and I thought for real that there was like a coyote or like a like a like a a
growling beast in the fucking apartment I got freaked out a little bit and I
opened the door and it was just you fucking snoring and then there was the well I
don't know if that's tied to the yogurt but like I remember you used to sleep
sitting up like a like a fucking doll in like a horror movie oh yeah but that's
that's just that's just a wrestling Sweeney syndrome okay okay well I want to
know about your yogurt when you have yogurt do you have yogurt do you have top
So what is it? What will we talking about here?
Oh, no, it's just yogurt.
I just get like a fucking yoplai vanilla yogurt.
I eat that and I feel like I'm out to fucking die.
And I'm just like fucking whoa.
Maybe you are allergic to like the little bugs or whatever.
Yogurt's got not bugs.
Oh, he's like probiotic.
Probiotics.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's allergic to the good bacteria.
Yeah.
At least like, I don't know.
He just needs like bad shit.
Like I normally would fuck you up.
If I can be allergic to panicillin,
which is like the thing that's kept people alive for a really long time.
I'm sure like Sweeney being allergic to good bacteria and yogurt is probably like not all that far fetch.
You can't even have like blue cheese then, huh?
I don't know.
Is that, is that?
I don't eat blue cheese.
Blue cheese is basically the bacteria that it's the basis of penicillin.
Huh.
I've never had blue cheese now I think about it.
And that's probably why.
I probably was probably kept away from it because I was allergic to penicillin.
It's pretty good.
Yeah, I don't know.
Like, uh, being allergic to penicillinence is.
isn't the worst because there's other anti-
There's a shitload of antibiotics.
There's other antibiotics.
But like that's unfortunate.
Like,
if you're like going through some shit
and then you go into like a fucking like EMT
and you're about to die,
then that would suck.
Yeah.
They probably only have penicillin on them.
The first thing they want to give you with a moxacosilin.
That's true.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But macacillin,
he's like,
you take it and you fucking start flatlining and they're like,
dude.
And then they just toss you out of the fucking ambulance.
Like just whistling like the like like as if nothing.
happened. Do you guys have any weird ambulance stories? Have you ever been like, have you ever taken a,
first of all, have you ever taken a ride in an ambulance? No. It's horrible. I feel like, I got a concussion.
Didn't your grandma try to kill you or something? I remember that. Yeah, I got a concussion because
I, uh, I tried to do a crane kick over a fucking tennis fence. And I got over, but my foot got caught.
So my head fucking bounced off the floor. And I got the worst concussion. But I felt like,
I felt that.
When I got up, I felt like I was in like a fucking like an EDM music video,
everything was like bumping.
And I remember my grandmother getting there right when the freaking, right when the ambulance got me.
And my grandma was trying to hit me because of how stupid I was for getting hurt.
And I remember everything being zany.
Then when I got to the hospital, I woke up and I pulled all the IV and stuff out of my arm.
and I was bleeding so much.
And then I fades to white and I wake up like three days later.
And they're like, oh, yeah, you were in a really bad spot.
You're fine, though.
And I was like, oh.
This explains a lot.
This explains a lot, man.
Yeah, that's why I can't remember anymore.
Yeah.
Have serious head trauma.
Why are you fucking allergic to yogurt?
It makes perfect sense.
That's it.
Me hitting my head undid my biology and now I'm allergic to yogurt.
I got to know.
You got to do an allergy test, man.
I'm so fucking curious.
Nah, I don't want to know.
I love yogurt so much, man.
I mean, it's going to kill you one day.
Like yogurt-based smoothies are my life, bro.
Yeah, because it gets you drunk, basically,
because you're fucking allergic to it.
That's why you like it.
Nah, dude.
Nah, dude.
She's not even like that.
Something's going on.
I need to know.
I'm going to take a session
is going to be like, yo,
fuck, dude.
You're really allergic to yoga.
You're the only little bit everything, bro.
All right.
We got everything, dude.
We got a handful of other.
fucking things here.
But James Passmore wrote in.
He goes, what's a conspiracy theory that you
100% believe in?
Lizard people, definitely.
Shut the fuck up.
You don't believe in lizard.
Not even cap.
That could be real.
I wouldn't be fucking surprised.
I'd be like, well, look, I do.
I don't have anything I believe in 100% as far as
like conspiracy theories go.
But the closest, there had, I, fake moon landing.
I have had moments where I,
I start thinking to myself where it's like,
it's weird that we landed on the moon before we figured out how to text people.
Like,
just on a scale of like technological.
It kind of reminds me of like when No Man Sky was unveiled and they were like,
you can explore like a million planets and they're all like fully rendered and you can like,
they're all full sized planets and you're like,
we don't even have one game where there's one of those that's interesting.
I feel like we're skipping a step here
and occasionally I find myself thinking of it that way
where it's like, did people in the 60s really do?
I don't want to dive into that
because it's just like whatever,
it makes no difference really ultimately at this point,
but at the same time, I like, I don't know,
sometimes feels a little weird.
I believe that though.
One of our friends told us a really weird,
one of our friends told us a really weird JFK one.
You were there for that, Lyle.
And like, we were just like,
oh, okay, I guess, I guess that's a real.
real and I was just like
they're like how like one of the security
guards I'm I don't want to say this allowed
because if it's real I don't want to end up going missing
but apparently like a JFK assassination
was like a mistake
like a mistaken inside job
and like I was like oh okay
I guess that could be true because
conspiracy theories people are so passionate about
all of them that my fucking
subservient brain
is just like oh like that could be real
I guess I don't know
this person's screaming to me about how
you know, to return the frogs gay,
maybe he might know something about this.
Why are you implying that you have a subservient brain?
Not a absurd brain,
but like my anti,
my anti-fight people on what they believe in brain
is it's like, I guess.
I don't want to admit that publicly, though.
That's how they get you.
Yo, I have, look at,
you know, the funny thing you even talk about that,
the gay frogs thing.
I finally looked into it,
why the hell he even said that?
Because I wanted to know,
because I never looked,
and then I was like,
why did he say that?
he misspoke.
Oh my God.
Don't, don't.
No.
No, look, no.
He's right on this.
He's right on this.
He's not wrong about frogs being gay.
There's chemicals.
Because look at, you know animals by themselves can change their sexes.
There's certain animals.
Well, frogs, yeah.
Yeah.
There's certain animals.
There's certain that can do that.
And there are chemicals that will influence that and speed of processes of that.
So he said they're turning the frogs gay.
when he's talking about chemicals affecting amphibians or frogs, for example, that will do that to it.
And it's not like anyone's doing it intentionally.
Alex Jones is Alex Jones.
Right.
But that's the base of the claim is that it's being done intentionally.
Like, that's like the entire.
That's his thesis.
That is the implication, I guess.
Well, when I actually, because the whole thing is said, like, when you actually look at what he's talking about in the segment,
there's something that he is talking about that's like, that does seem like, oh, they're doing
intentional things.
So he said something about a gay bomb.
That's a gay bomb, baby.
Like they would turn people fucking,
there was a, I guess, a conspiracy back in the day about trying to make soldiers
gay so they won't like want to fight each other.
What is the, that is so bad?
What is the incentive to just making people gay?
I don't understand.
Because in their minds, in their minds, this is literally, I've seen a comic book, a comic
strip of this. In their minds, it goes
like this. I can't shoot him, sir.
He's too beautiful.
Like a fucking
RPG charm status.
They're going to drop a goddamn bomb.
That's some D&D shit right there.
That's a mass suggestion, bro.
You're like, oh, I love it.
That's such a pretty. You don't want to shoot me.
And it's like, oh, for real.
You're right.
That's such a stupid.
That doesn't even read, though, because like,
they're around other dudes.
So if anything, it would just turn into like,
Spartan society shit where they would
start like making out with each other and then
they'd be in love with each other so it's like I don't want
my brother in arms to die so
that was what Spartans would do
they would turn they would
gay each other so that they
would like fight more proudly
I mean like if we're talking real
ones like I think they got the cure to cancer
I think they got the cure to AIDS oh yeah of course
there's things like that that aren't they have an AIDS
vaccine for cats
actually for real did you know it really
there's a there's a there is a there is a
a vaccine for cat
AID. First of all, I don't know how
I don't know how AIDS got to cats. That's a
little, you know, that's a big, that's a big
origin story that needs to be fleshed out, I think.
But, you know, monkeys fuck anything, you know? A monkey
will fuck a fucking cat to death.
Yeah. You ever seen monkeys fuck raccoons?
It's really sad. It's the most
unfunny shit ever. I don't want to see that.
That part's debatable, but
what? No, never mind.
Just keep going.
Blasizing.
No, but they do. They have, like,
And dude, like, I don't know, you can't convince me that they put millions of dollars into saving cats from AIDS and they just haven't figured out the people version.
Like, that's just such a weird, like...
Well, they basically, there's medicine where you take it and then it's dormant in your system.
You still have it, but it's just not going to ravage it.
It works like that for what you call it, for HIV.
You can literally make HIV dormant.
That shit's mind-blower.
Right.
Yeah.
And I was just like, what?
Right, but just like a full-on, like, vaccine for cats.
Like, it's very, that's like curing Alzheimer's and elephants.
you know like it's like why would you
very important why do they need that
just because
stumbled upon it maybe
I don't know
I just like oh that
I do think there's validity to that
like I feel like there's just too much money
that has gone into those like fund
the research things like you gotta find
something that works but that's not really even
not even just like the research like dude like
the chemotherapy and shit for cancer
and all that they could give you an injection and just fix it
like they think of how
Think of how much money is in radiology by itself, bro.
It's insane amounts of money.
It's like, yeah, there's definitely a care for this.
Moonwatch wrote in.
He says, hello, first time Patreon.
I was wondering, what is the scariest enemy you guys have encountered in a video game?
Personally, the poison headcrafts from Half-Life 2 are so fucking unnerving to me for some reason.
Even in G-Mod, where I'm a creature of godlike power, I'm scared of those hairy little shits.
What enemy's major cloth turn brown?
Oh, Berserker's in Gears 1
I was just gonna say that too
For like the three minutes when you don't know how to kill it
That is the scariest fucking thing in the world
They just get upset and run at you
And I'm like bro, calm the fuck down dude
I think what does armament
Don finally shows up
And I'm like thank God for this laser being
Yeah me and the friend I was playing that game
With were fucking dying laughing the first
Because it like screams too
It just screams
and sprints at you and you're like, what the fuck?
That's, it was, I hated that feeling of, yeah, but I remember.
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.
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 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've got Dan Morgan here on the pod.
Say hi Dan.
Hey, how's it going today?
It's going good, man.
Tell us who you are and what you do.
I'm Dan Morgan.
I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan and Morgan,
which is America's largest injury law firm.
That's pretty awesome.
I think I saw a billboard of yours recently that said 20 billion one.
20 million is an insane number.
Yeah, 20 billion recovered.
It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year.
And each year we get bigger and
and batter and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes
on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an
accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. That's pound 529 from your cell phone.
We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7, 365. Wow. Dan Morgan.
From Morgan and Morgan, America's Large Injury Lawfirm, thanks for coming by the show.
Thanks for having me. Visit forethepeople.com for an office near you. Not really paying.
too close attention because I wanted to examine it, like see what's happening, what's coming
at me. So I wasn't really paying too much attention and then it just runs you over and you
turn into meat. And that like completely disarm me. Like it just became funny now. It was just
like it just runs you over and you explode. That shit scared me. That shit like it was like funny
scary though. Oh my God the necromorph, the final necromorph you fight in Dead Space 2,
the one that won't stay down. I never played Dead Space 2. Because you have to because you have to
run away from it. So you got to, like, I literally killed it, dismembered it, and then I telekinesed
through its body, like, across the hallway. And then they grew from it again. And I was like,
bro, what do I do? How do I get out of this? I hated that. There is a, there is a funny
element to horror sometimes where you're like, you're so scared that you're laughing. And the first
time that I remember feeling that I think, not that this is the scariest shit that I'm,
this is like clear in my head. When the Lefer Dead demo came.
came out. This was like, Jesus fucking Christ, this must have been, what, 2008, I think. I think,
like, summer of 2008 or like, I think even like maybe September, because I remember talking
about it with my friends in school, but I remember jumping into that game for the first time
and like the witches and like the sound design of like the hunters and like the, just everything
about it. Like, I remember being scared, but also like I was giggling like a madman because
I was having so much fucking fun
playing that game.
Lefford Dead is such a classic fucking
thing.
I think it's two bucks on Steam right now.
It's two bucks on Steam right now if you
Oh really?
Leffordead too?
I've had it for,
I've had it forever like...
I'll scoop that up.
I haven't bought that yet.
Yeah, he might as well.
I think until the eighth till tomorrow
I think that's still...
I'd love to be able to stream it
but I know it's gonna stream like fucking cum.
Why?
Yeah, what?
Because everything old streams horribly.
Nothing works on OBS if it's old.
That's not true. Leffordead streams fine.
Are you sure?
Yes. You're thinking of because you tried to play fucking Cotor on PC.
Dude, even Dead Space doesn't work well either.
Yeah, but you're playing...
But Dead Space is like an EA game.
Check your bit rate, man.
Check your bit rate. I don't know.
Number eight is perfect, dude.
Everything's fine.
There are some games that OBS just does not handle.
Some games are really bad and they just don't...
They don't cooperate well with OBS, but Leffordead is not one of those.
Leffordead is like a pretty consistent.
Consistently
functional
experience.
Let's see if we can get another one
where we actually have
like a funny answer to.
All right.
Let's see.
I'm going to edit this to shit,
by the way.
Okay.
Yeah.
Maybe cut down the Cosby shit.
A lot.
Oh, no way.
Put that first.
Nah, man.
We're completely...
We're very happy bills out.
All right.
Here's one that's potential.
Nell Mecco wrote in.
He says,
Hello, guys.
This question is for Lyle.
I've been lurking new grounds
since the early to mid-2000s,
and you helped create the best flash of all time,
Street Fighter Chode.
How was working on Chode with Spaz Kid?
Any interesting stories from that experience,
challenges community backlash, etc.
Thank you for helping create a masterpiece.
Should bear mentioning, too,
that the person
the person that we were making fun of
was like way bigger than any of us
at that given point in time too
right right we had no idea
that it was gonna like shake out
to be like what it was
Street Fighter Chode is an interesting
thing
because a lot of people don't remember this
but on on the internet
back then
the Street Fighter Chode was like 2010
2011 yeah
you had to try really, really hard to hurt someone's feelings.
I know that that's like a foreign concept now.
But back then it was like, okay, everybody's a username.
Anybody is just like, you know, like we're, like, it was a very common phrase back then like, it's the internet.
Who cares?
Right?
So the kind of history behind Street Fighter Chode, if you don't know what it is, Street Fighter Chode was basically like a flash cartoon making up,
making fun of an other flash cartoon.
And we made a flash cartoon making fun of the same person, like their prior work.
And they basically left a comment on it that was like, oh, if you want to make fun of me,
do a better job.
And then they released something new like the next week.
It was like it was like serendipitous where it was like, we spent like, 20.
20 minutes making like a shitty thing like,
ha ha, you're dumb and that was like
supposed to be it. And then they left that
comment and immediately dropped like
a pretty like lame
flash cartoon. I mean, it was fucking 2010.
It was like stupid meme
humor from 2010.
But like basically we thought it would be funny
to just take it like way too far.
And that's basically what
Street Fighter showed was. Like we
we spent
a stupid amount of time
on that dumb fucking cartoon.
Just to be like insanely mean to a person who by all rights like didn't really deserve it.
Like they kind of they kind of asked for it.
But like like like it just it was just kind of like a comment they probably made in passing.
Like the first one was probably like mean enough.
And they were like well, fuck them.
I'm just going to say it didn't hurt my feelings.
You know like.
Yeah.
And then you put like your life savings and like 10 hours a week went into this.
It was it was mostly.
I mean, I just did audio for it.
But, like, it was, it was definitely like, it was definitely like the joke was just to take it, like, way too fucking far.
Back then, it was like, okay, I'm not even making fun of a person.
I'm making fun of a screen name.
So I got to swing hard.
If I want this person to actually feel like, oh, you got me, you know, like.
Yeah, you have, like, no information.
And especially on Newgrounds, where Newgrounds was like, Newgrounds is like the Internet's mosh pit, you know?
Like that's where you go to like, you know, it's all like, you know, sort of like mid-2000s, like, edgy kids and shit like that.
It's like, it's like 4chan for people that that want to build life skills, you know?
Like that was kind of what it was at that point.
Yeah.
So, yeah, like, I don't have really any, any, like, interesting stories specifically.
It was just more like, yeah, the concept of that cartoon.
It's something I would
I'd never do today
And I probably probably in hindsight
Like wouldn't do again
But like for the time
Like it was it was definitely just like
You know it was old school internet trolling
I understood like that
And that's saying that you're talking about
It's like oh it's just the internet who cares
That was because like the real world
Was a lot more important than the internet back then
Where it's like now it's kind of like
Now it's almost like the opposite
Where sometimes I'll like take a
Like I used to take a break from like
Everything
with the internet and now I like I find myself taking breaks from it more often
because it's just far more intertwined with like I mean not only just because our jobs I guess
but yeah that's true but modern social media is also like a very very different thing like
oh yeah back in the day like it was it was actually uncommon now it was uncommon to know a person's
like first name even something like that was like people didn't know my first name until like four
to five years into my YouTube career.
Like, it was just
typical. Like, you just wouldn't...
Like, a person on the internet was not
a person. It was, like, a screen name.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's crazy.
This is all just me making excuses, though. I was a huge
fucking asshole back then. I'm not going to, like,
try to cover that part of it up. But, like, yeah,
it's definitely...
Definitely what was. Everybody. Everybody was.
Like, even Twitter back then was hilarious.
Like, dude, when James Gunn got, like,
fired for those, like, 2009 tweets.
That like, I remember seeing, have you seen?
I remember seeing far worse tweets like back then.
It was hilarious.
You know, have you seen 50 cents old tweets, yo?
Old 50 cent tweets were so unbelievably disrespectful.
Are they?
He would just tell women to kill themselves if they weren't attractive.
I was just like, this man's the devil.
Dude for me, I didn't have a Twitter when I was younger, but there was this kid.
There was this kid who was in a wheelchair.
who we hated.
We hated him so much.
He was a piece of shit.
He was a piece of shit.
He was a piece of shit.
No, I hated him.
Oh, you hated him.
We hated him.
We just fucking load the kid.
He was an asshole.
And me and my friends worked together
to make a thing
where he was in Mario Kart.
We all worked together
that put him in Mario Kart.
And it was the most fucked thing
I've ever done.
Like, that was the meanest thing
I've ever done.
in my life.
You put a crippled kid in Mario Kart because you didn't like him?
We did it.
He was a piece of shit.
He was an asshole.
How was like, how?
What did he do to you?
He was just rude to my friend all the time.
Like every day, he'd be like, yo, this fucking kid Arthur is just being a dickhead again.
And to the point that we would send him memes about walking.
We would send him jokes about walking because he couldn't do it.
And I was just like, what's, I look bad.
back at that. Like, that was the last memory of me leaving New York where like I looked back and I was like,
yo, I got a change for the better because that was just like, I was like 18 doing that and
laughing my ass off about it. I was 18. I was thinking. I was, I was picturing middle school.
I was 18, bro. I was like, that's when I first interacted Twitter. I didn't have one yet.
But I was like facsimile of my friends. I would see shit on Twitter. And I was just like,
something's wrong with me. Something's wrong with me.
that I'm doing this to somebody
and having a fucking ball.
And nothing's changed.
That's crazy.
I'm nowhere near as rude as I was back then.
That's crazy, man.
You were an adult.
You were an adult.
Yeah, technically, I was an adult and a piece of shit.
Oh, my God.
Well, yeah.
On that note, I guess.
Lyle, thanks for coming in.
Thanks for coming on this mess.
Oh, yeah, of course, dude.
Anytime.
Anything you want to, like, shield.
for a little bit, get your name out there?
Sure, yeah, yeah.
I'm Lyle Rath.
You can see my cartoons and shit on Rath Club on YouTube.
I do an audio channel also called Sounds Goodish,
where it's just basically like audio shit for idiots,
