Starting point is 00:01:18 I'm not going to be so close me when I'm a rain. Fuck you a meet. Hey, look, I hope it's the beauty. Hey, hey, hey, hey, everybody. us. It's the Snark Tank podcast. We're back. Everybody thought we died. We did not die.
Starting point is 00:01:46 We had a fucking massive, massive problem in that the moving company that I decided to wisely hire to facilitate my move back to New York was like, hey, we'll get you your stuff in 10 days, and then 10 days became 17.
Starting point is 00:02:06 So, you know, Not ideal, but, you know, we're back. Sweeney is in Joshua Tree right now for some reason. This is kind of shocking to me because Sweeney, like, never goes anywhere. So it's just a little, it's a little bizarre that he's in Joshua Tree, but that's where he is. He'll be back next time. We'll figure it out. But in the meantime, yeah, I don't know, man.
Starting point is 00:02:32 Like, I feel like I've been a little bit detached from everything that's been going on. just purely because you've been moving too. Yeah. And my situation was a little bit weirder because I wanted to take my time moving. But just like I talked about it on my channel briefly, but just somebody that I don't want to, well, you know what?
Starting point is 00:02:56 I don't think any of my family listens to this, so I don't give a shit. Yeah, you're fine. I don't think I, yeah. But like I lived with some family members in L.A. and my uncle, he's an interesting character. And I don't mind just, I don't mind saying this. This motherfucker thought he fell in love, right?
Starting point is 00:03:14 Somebody hit him up on Facebook. And then was like, hey, by the way, I need you to do some shady shit for me. And then like he got it tangled up in some fucking unemployment scams and shit. Oh my fucking God. And then, yeah. And then when he didn't want to follow through, because I guess it got too overwhelming, I found out about this after the fact because he was doing all this behind everybody's back
Starting point is 00:03:37 and then he calls my brother and he's like oh yeah by the way these people are threatening to kill everybody in the house and it was just like oh so I get a call actually he knocks on my door at 6 in the morning I'm like what the fuck do you want
Starting point is 00:03:54 like at that early like I was furious and then all of a sudden my mom's on the phone they're all talking about it and I thought for a second I thought it was dreaming I was like what the f like this is It sounds like a fucking dream. It sounds so absurd. I don't know if I could handle that.
Starting point is 00:04:07 I feel like I would have to go back to sleep. And maybe die in my sleep. And if that's the way it goes, that's the way it goes. But it was so inconvenient to the point where, okay, I didn't know how serious it was. But all I knew is there was a lot of money wrapped up into it. So I stayed at my friend's house for the remainder time of like, all right, fuck it. I'm not living in that house anymore. I already wasn't a fan of living there anyway.
Starting point is 00:04:31 and so this was like the push to be like I'm going to get out of here as soon as possible and now I'm in Vegas so hey yeah so look at that fucking it's all right over here Las Vegas Nevada that's pretty fucking dude last time I was in Vegas we were in Vegas oh yeah yeah yeah and we were I was drunk and my phone exploded in the Vegas that's right and I had to I don't know if I've actually I feel like I've told the story on the potty I know I've told this story before because it's like just funny but I don't know if I've told it on podcast before but like you me and jalen went to Vegas I think in 2019 I think yeah it's 2019 before the world went to shit yeah yeah when you could go to Vegas without you know worrying
Starting point is 00:05:12 about you know your balls swelling up yeah yeah my fucking phone like I was drunk at like 2 30 in the afternoon my phone got really hot and just stopped working and I had to like stumble into a Verizon wireless or drunk as shit in the middle of the afternoon trying to get trying to talk to this person to get me into a fucking phone contract. That poor fucking guy. His name was Julio. I remember him. I feel so bad for him.
Starting point is 00:05:39 He must have... Hopefully he got a better job than that. But, you know, because he shouldn't have to deal with that. He's probably still there. That's, yeah. I mean, that's, I was, I was hoping maybe like to maybe look at it with a little bit more optimism, but you're probably right. Fucking hell, man. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:05:58 Just moving is so. tedious and so draining but we're back and I feel pretty invigorated like I'm kind of excited to like start working again because I just like when you're just when you just can't work for weeks
Starting point is 00:06:13 it's like I don't know I find it's super stressful so I'm glad to just be back and like getting this channel back on back on schedule but I feel you you I know yeah fucking what should we talk about this
Starting point is 00:06:29 fucking Nikki Minaj? Because this is the one thing that I think we're both acutely aware of, which is, yeah, because we haven't been paying too much attention to anything, but this was unavoidable because it's so fucking absurd. It's so stupid. And look, look, so I'm sure everybody listening has had to have heard Nikki Minaj's story about not her cousin, but her cousin's friend. You know how that shit. goes right. Yeah, yeah. It's not even, it's, it's the friend of somebody. Cousin's friend fucking got the COVID vaccine, right? I don't know which one. Didn't say. And then the dude's
Starting point is 00:07:12 balls swelled up and then he became infertile or impotent or whatever the fuck. Right. He basically, yeah, so his balls got fucking huge and he's shooting blanks. And then his fucking fiancee called off their wedding when they were weeks away from getting married. And, Everybody in unison, everyone's first thought was, well, that guy clearly fuck some hooker or something. Yeah, no. Right. Dude, it's so clearly like an STD, you know? Yeah, 100%.
Starting point is 00:07:43 Like, it's like, bro. Like, you're just lying. It reminds me of like that, it's like the virgin birth to me where it's like, nah, this baby's just gods. I didn't fuck anyone, I swear. It's like, bro, come on, dude. You just clearly. Yeah. Why would you tell, why would you broadcast that story knowing how fucking insane it is?
Starting point is 00:08:05 Like, surely, you'd have multiple people being like, hey, my balls are also the size of cantalopes because I got fucking moderned in, you know, June or whatever. But it's just this one person that just happens to have this thing, like conveniently. Like, nah, come on, dude. And I see this a lot too with With these stupid extreme examples And then people tie it to the vaccine or something Like I even saw Eric Clapton Which I was really disappointed
Starting point is 00:08:40 He had some stories and a few other people Like I would see and then the people they pluck those anomalies those extreme anomalies And I'm like what about the millions of people that are fine. Yeah. Like, why don't you, why don't you use any of those anecdotes? What the fuck's wrong with you, bro?
Starting point is 00:09:00 Yeah, it's just very, it's, we're in such a weird time. Because like, I feel like, not too long ago, it was very, like, non-controversial to get a vaccine, you know what I mean? Like, it was just like a very much like, ah, yeah, I'll get the, yeah, whatever. In order to put your kid in school, I think you have to, like, vaccinate the shit out of it, don't you? Like, you have to like... You absolutely do. I don't know anything. You got to get like two or three or something. Yeah, I don't know anything about it. I specifically remember. I was, I remember as a kid,
Starting point is 00:09:31 I did not know as a kid that it was specifically that I, if I didn't get them, I couldn't go to school. I just remember going to the doctor's office. I remember the, the lady doctor that actually shot me. I remember vividly because these shots fucking hurted when they injected the vaccine into you. Yeah. It felt like fire. So like me, I was never afraid of needles, stuck me, whatever. But then when the shit went in, I was like, what the fuck? Like, I remember vividly.
Starting point is 00:10:01 And so I'm like, okay, whatever. I grew up. And I'm like, okay, I know what that shit's for. And pretty much everybody else has done that same thing. And I heard this. Dude, I heard somebody actually say this. There was a Facebook thread, a chick talking about, blah, blah, blah, vaccines and this and that. And then somebody replied with, wait, but you already, they already have mandates to go to school.
Starting point is 00:10:21 and she said no I only took immunization shots like she replied was as if they were a fucking difference yeah they were two different things and I'm just like oh this is beyond like this is so much crazier than I actually thought yeah it really is just beyond because I don't know like I feel like I'm crazy because I feel like even right now what we're saying is going to be controversial to people and it's just like I feel like we're not saying anything really like We're not. I don't know, man. It's just very weird.
Starting point is 00:10:55 It's so confusing, though, because, like, there are people who, like, look, if you don't want to get the vaccine, like, whatever. Like, there's plenty of vaccine. Like, my dad doesn't get the flu shot. Like, fucking whatever. Like, you know, there's certain vaccines that if you don't need them. Right. Like, I never get the flu shot either. I don't fucking need it.
Starting point is 00:11:12 Yeah. This is different. This is different. Yeah. I agree. I can't say, I can't, look, I can't, I can't, I'm at the point. Even, look, I have. I have to get props to Biden.
Starting point is 00:11:22 Something that like I was so like, I'm like, fuck this little piece of shit. But here's the thing. With so many people that would find it controversial, but he's like, he said, he was like, dude, we tried to be patient. And I agree. They actually, they didn't do,
Starting point is 00:11:38 they're not doing anything extreme like Australia. But it's like, hey, bro, you know, medical employees, government employees, you got to get fucking vaccinated. People, fucking, if you have over 100 employees, in your business, you got to get it, or you got to have weekly testing. And if not that, you're going to get fined so much
Starting point is 00:11:58 that you're going to be fucked. And it's just to the point where it's like, hey, guys, incentive works. And in this way, look, I just want to say this real quick. Yeah. People, there are a few people talked about seatbelt, people wearing seatbelts. In the fucking, when it's like,
Starting point is 00:12:12 okay, you're going to have to start wearing seatbelts. So nobody were wearing them when it became like a mandate, like a thing, you need to wear them. Yeah. Until they started getting tickets. Success starts with your drive, and American Public University is here to fuel it.

They have the ethical expertise, market data, and tools to bring you home. So when looking for a home, look for the R and work with a member of the National Association of Realtors. They're right by you. When the incentive was like, I'm going to lose money, everyone complied. And then they're like, okay, now it's just a thing.
Starting point is 00:13:12 Yeah. And I feel like it's the same fucking thing where it's like, people are going to be like, I'm not going to do this shit until it affects my pocketbook. And so I'm like, yeah, let's go. Oh, I just want, look, I don't care about the actual vaccine. I just want the world to be back to normal. Yeah, same. Like, for real. Like, I just literally it.
Starting point is 00:13:27 Yeah. That's, that's me too. I just don't want this to happen again anytime soon at least. Or this thing to like fucking evolve or whatever. And look, I don't know, man. The thing that I think bothers me the most about it is it's one thing. And I understand, like, look, I get, I feel like I understand where everybody comes from. because like the people who want everybody to get the vaccine,
Starting point is 00:13:51 want everybody to get the vaccine because they know how viruses work and they know that if a virus, you know, enters a non-immunized host, it can mutate and develop immunities to the vaccine. That fucks everybody up. If you look at it from that understanding, then it shouldn't be surprising to you
Starting point is 00:14:14 that people are frustrated that people aren't getting the vaccine. right? Yeah. I also understand, although don't agree with the premise of like, why should I have to get a shot that I don't want to get shot? I get it. But just fucking, I don't know, to me it's just like grow up. Like, I don't know. I can't do this thing anymore where I see people pretending like it's brave.
Starting point is 00:14:34 You know? Like, I didn't get the vaccine. I'm a fucking freedom warrior. It's like, dude, I'm pretty sure 99.5% of my time spent on this earth has been spent not getting, you know, needles shoved in my arms. And like, you know, like, it's not impressive to not go get a vaccine. It's the easiest thing a person can do. All you have to do is continue doing nothing.
Starting point is 00:15:00 It's not impressive. It's not cool. It's not like epic, you know? I don't know. Yeah. Every, every, it's every. And look, this is, and I can be honest, I'm not extremely mad at people in general because let's be real.
Starting point is 00:15:13 It's like nobody that wants to say, but it's like people. on average are just not the brightest people. They look for answers from other people, whatever it is. It could be spiritually. It can be through political means. There's always people telling them what to do. It's like you take your cues from other people because you don't know.
Starting point is 00:15:36 It's like going back to Nikki Minaj, she said she needs to do more research. And so what she really means because the research is all there. There's a year's worth of research. available. You go on the CDC's website. It's all there. It's all there. But what she means is she's looking for somebody to tell her exactly if it's safe that she, you know, someone that she trusts. You know what I mean? So it's like one of those things or I'm just like, oh, okay. You know, and that's why she also hears somebody that she, no, now there's two things. She either really does
Starting point is 00:16:09 trust her cousin that had a friend or it's actually her cousin that said it's her friend. friend, right? It's as a cousin's friend. Like that's always, that's always fake. That's never real. I never, I never heard a credible story where it's like, it's somebody's friend. It's usually, like, it's never, it's never somebody's friend.
Starting point is 00:16:29 It's like, it's the person that said it and they didn't want to act like it was them? Or, you know. I don't know, man. It's a fucking, it's a fucking mess. The seatbelt arguments, or the seatbelt, uh, analogy is pretty good too. Because I see a lot of people being like, you know, people are still
Starting point is 00:16:45 dying, uh, even when they get the vaccine. It's like, people still die. Like, if you careen off a mountain in a fucking Ford focus and you're wearing your seatbelt, you're, you're not, you're not going to survive that probably. But most car accidents, if you have your seatbelt on, you will survive it. That's like the whole fucking point of the seatbelt. It's not, it doesn't protect you from death like forever. It just reduces the risk dramatically. And that's like the whole fucking point. Like, prevention.
Starting point is 00:17:17 Yeah, prevention. And not, and not absolution, which even, even fucking Joe horse pace Rogan, like, he fucking was like, this month,
Starting point is 00:17:29 okay, so to your point, when you're, remember you, you were just saying that, like, I feel like we're not saying anything like,
Starting point is 00:17:35 unreasonable or, dude, in 2010, even like 2016, 2015, 2015, 2017, 2012,
Starting point is 00:17:44 any year prior to this year. Everything right now that we are saying would be fucking common knowledge. It would not be the most, it wouldn't even be remotely controversial at all. But for some reason now it is. And I'm sure we're going to get some comments being like,
Starting point is 00:18:01 uh, you're authoritarian. I'm just like, all right, sure. I can't, and look, if somebody,
Starting point is 00:18:10 if anybody actually had a good point and I'm, and I guarantee you, I have not seen one. I haven't. And this isn't me being like, oh, high and mighty. It's just like a real point where it's like, oh, I see where you're coming from. Maybe I should change my line of thinking because that's not the right way to approach things or that's not logical. And it's because the thing is, anything that is being said right now is just in the realm of logic and reason. Success starts with your drive. And American Public University is here to fuel it.

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.
Starting point is 00:19:36 And each year we get bigger and batter and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. That's pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7, 365. Wow. Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's Large Injury Law, thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit forethepeople.com for an office near you. And it's not like so far fester, so far out of the spectrum where it's like, what are you saying, buddy? It's just like there's a fucking serious problem going on right now. We need to do specific things to take care of it. Like look it, look it, look it. I just want to say this and we can fucking move on.
Starting point is 00:20:20 Yeah, yeah. It's just the fucking, the amount of people and the amount of looks. So for a little while, when I'll stay out of my friend's apartment before I moved to Vegas, I was in a very rich white city, very, I would just say, I was in the city of Brea. And there's, they don't really give a fuck about mask over there. Like, not really. And so if you were masked up, there was, you would get dirty looks. A lot of times you would.
Starting point is 00:20:47 get like like because you just you can see like oh you're a you're a sheep you can see like like the eyes that they would give yeah yeah yeah yeah whatever this is this is that and I'm like oh it's funny and stuff and I had uh I overheard a conversation in that in that city when I was getting some Hawaiian barbecue and it was a younger person saying like you know it's funny that people say mass don't work and he was just saying like you know because it's kind of like the same thing as covering your mouth when you cough. You know, like, you're just, all you're trying to do is just prevent it from spreading, but you're not going to stop anything.
Starting point is 00:21:23 And I was just like, oh, that's funny. Like, hearing this little fucking piece of shit kid that is like, like that is making so much sense. And then like seeing grown ass motherfuckers scoffing at me. And I'm like, I hate this world that we're living in right now. It doesn't seem real. It doesn't seem real, bro. It really does feel like, it feels like a satire reality.
Starting point is 00:21:46 Like more so than I think it did in 2016 when everything, when we thought everything was hilarious. Yeah. Yeah. Unbelievable. It's like way more now. Like it really is kind of crazy. But I can't. Oh, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:22:00 No, I don't know. Like, it's just so, it's just frustrating. I was just going to say, people keep saying like they, okay, for example, I put up a picture saying, should I dye my hair or should I bleach it again? And then I saw some comments of like people reminiscing like, oh, man, those were the good old. days. I was like 2016. Yeah. Like, man, they're like fucking, I was just like, yeah, you know what? Those were fucking good times actually. Would you think about it? Because compared to now?
Starting point is 00:22:25 Oh, yeah. Like, fuck, man. That shit was fun as fuck. Everything was still wacky. It wasn't all like serious, you know? And I'm like, yeah, dude. And maybe dyeing my hair is the way that'll fix everything. You know, it'll have like a butterfly effect. It'll affect everybody. We all need to dye our hair again. Yeah, everybody. I need to have my blonde hair again when Like when I first got to LA and it was all fucked up. But that's it. I love that. She's got like,
Starting point is 00:22:53 Mickey's got, see that protest of people who was like, we stand with Nikki. No, that was the thing that happened? It's real. It's real. It's astounding.
Starting point is 00:23:04 Because it's like, dude, like, I feel like a lot of people are like kind of addicted to mistrust. It's almost like, you know, I don't trust the government. I don't trust anybody.
Starting point is 00:23:14 It's like, yeah, I mean, me neither, like in the grand scheme of things. I don't know what the fuck's in. Like, my baby in like 20 years could have like six heads.
Starting point is 00:23:23 And it's like, oh, well, you know, but like for me it's, for me it's just like, why do these people like distrust the government? But then like just trust Nikki Minaj. You know?
Starting point is 00:23:39 Like it's weird. It's like this, it's inconsistent. It's an inconsistent, uh, What's the word? An inconsistent output of mistrust. You know, like...
Starting point is 00:23:52 It's cognitive dissidents. Yeah, yeah. Because they don't... That's the word I was looking for. Yeah. It's not... And look at his thing. All those people don't actually distrust the government.
Starting point is 00:24:03 They don't. Because when the government gives them fucking money, they love it. When the government gives them sweet stimulus checks or government cheese or whatever, they're all for it. But then the government's like, Hey, we need you to take this so we can get back to normal life. They're like, no, no, no, no. You're trying to call the herd.
Starting point is 00:24:22 You're trying to depop. And I was like, if they wanted to do that, they would have done it fucking forever ago. There's nothing stopping them from doing it. My favorite response to that is when Bill Burr was talking about it. Did you ever see Bill Burr talking about like how like the conspiracy is that they're thinning out the herd of the vaccine? And he's like, I think his point is like, why would they want to thin out the people that obey them? like everybody taking the vaccine trust the government
Starting point is 00:24:50 presumably or at least trust the government you're saying that on Conan I remember that or at least they trust the government more than people who you know don't you know get the vaccine so like
Starting point is 00:25:01 if they wanted to get rid of anybody they wouldn't want to get rid of the people who are just trusting the blindly if anything they want to get rid of the people who aren't because those are the people who would stir shit up
Starting point is 00:25:12 it just none of it it really doesn't make sense And again, I know. I know we're going to get comments that are just like authoritarian. I can't believe you trust the government. And it's like, I don't. It's just a matter of, dude, listen. The world revolves around money.
Starting point is 00:25:30 People like money a lot. People will sacrifice other people's lives for money. So the fact that the entire economy kind of shut down and like factories shut down and like businesses everywhere shut down. shut down, losing a lot of money in the process, that doesn't happen for a virus that isn't real. You know, like, they're not going to make up a fake virus, lose trillions of dollars, and just for a hypothetical, like, thinning of the herd. Like, it just doesn't, it doesn't fly. So to me, it's just like, hey, the vaccine is there for the interest of everybody,
Starting point is 00:26:09 because we all need to survive in order to keep exploiting one another. so that's why the vaccine is there. That's why it's fucking free. Yeah. It's free because people were saying how come they're giving it out for free and they don't give out insulin medicine or chemo? And I was like, because they need people
Starting point is 00:26:28 to get back to work so they can keep siphoning money from their fucking pockets. It's really sad. Taxing the fuck out of you and using you as a commodity. Like they need you as a fucking resource to get back to those factories so they want to give this to you so you can keep being a good workhorse. I'm like, it's, It's like, come on.
Starting point is 00:26:45 It's one of those things where I'm like, I don't know what else to do. I'm so over the, because I, like I said, all I want is I would love for if everything is back to normal for people that are vaccinated. That's all I want. Meaning that if you have fucking proof or whatever, you can travel where you please, you can still do all this fucking shit because that's all I need. Everybody else, I don't really care. Like seriously, that's not going to happen. I don't think to the extent that I want. want it to. So it's like, oh, please everybody get vaccinated. Please. Because once we get the
Starting point is 00:27:18 herd immunity, everything, everything will go back to normal. But if it was at the point where Biden was like, you know, fuck all you on niggas, like all you people that got the needle in you, just you get some bullshit. And then you can go where you please. You can go travel abroad and all this stuff. Other people can travel abroad because they're vaccinated too and stuff. But everybody has all these different fucking rules because they're sovereign. And I'm just like, the only way things will get back to normal is if people just fucking get the little goddamn jab. And, just pray your balls will be swollen man just just pray just put up a little fucking prayer and then look if the balls get swollen look I will concede to you anyone who's who's reluctant right
Starting point is 00:27:56 I will concede and I will I will I will cup your balls and apologize to them okay I will personally donate my balls to you so you can have normal balls again although I will say like when I got when I got my second, did I get Moderna? Yeah, I got Moderna. When I got my second Madonna shot, my Pauls did, you know, they got really they became the size of, I think, basketballs. And
Starting point is 00:28:24 in times, yeah, and in times of dire stress, I could like pull them up through my body and into my forearms and like be like pop-eye kind of, like use them like with spinach arms. Are you, are you sir, are you saying that Mickey Minaj is correct?
Starting point is 00:28:40 This entire rant we just have. Did you just completely negate it by saying, oh, by the way, my balls got fucking swollen? No, she's totally right. Don't get that shot, dude. He's going to fuck you up. At least don't get fucking Madonna. God damn. Yeah, don't get any of them.
Starting point is 00:28:56 See, now we've angered everyone. Because now that sarcastic, now that sarcastic clip is going to be taken is like serious. Listen, guys, seriously, if it's the last thing you do, do not get vaccinated. Do not get any of them. Don't trust them. it's very dire there's depopulation have you seen uh end game by alex jones they're they're it's they're trying to call the herd you know like it would be in their best interest right to give the vaccine to you know people in india even though that's where the the delta really developed and stuff
Starting point is 00:29:29 because they didn't have vaccines and stuff but they should give them to because you know there's so many people there and they're going to they're working on it trust me trust me they're fucking working on it. They actually have, they've actually developed really incredible micro technology, nanotechnology, if you will, that allows them to build a really microscopic guns. And they've put a bunch of like millions of microscopic guns in every vaccine. And at one point, they're all going to go off. And people are just going to explode from the inside out. This is true. This is real. This is very real. I've seen, I've seen the, I've seen the blueprints. I've seen the blueprints.
Starting point is 00:30:08 I've seen him. I shared him with a, I shared him with, uh, who's really popular right now? I don't know. I shared him with doja cat. Who's, I don't know. I really have no idea. Dude, I really feel sincerely like, I'm only like 27, you know, I'll be 28 in like, like, I think three months, but like, you know, I feel so out of touch with like who

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?

You know, like, I don't, like, I didn't know who, like, you know, what was that kid, kid, the fucking Justin Bieber song person, Kid LaRoy? I'd have no idea who that is. There you go, exactly. I still don't know who that is. I know the song, though, because anytime you go on TikTok, oh, wow. Yeah, it's out.
Starting point is 00:32:24 It's like, oh, yeah, look at that guy. It's like, yeah, he's been a famous for a while. And I'm like, who is that? I've just come to accept at this point that, like, I don't know. If it's not in the games industry I just don't know I just can't I can't keep up with music people
Starting point is 00:32:39 Like Doja Cat I thought Doja Cat was like A meme I thought it was like a non-cat That's hilarious I really didn't know it was real I didn't know it was a real person I thought I was alone in that
Starting point is 00:32:52 I thought Doja Cat was a meme too That's weird There must be a lot of people Who thought the same thing then I guess Because if you and I That have never discussed that before Thought the same fucking thing and I found out about her
Starting point is 00:33:06 I guess she was trying to rip off like fly leaf or something at one of the VMAs. What the hell? Yeah, she was doing some like rock kind of metal version of one of her songs and the way she was dressed and the whole like her whole what do you call it? Her just her vibe. Everything that she was doing. Yeah, everything she was doing was like that that band Fly Leaf like that one chick
Starting point is 00:33:29 singer. She would like wear a dress and she'd be all kind of weird and stuff and I'm like, what the fuck? Like, what is this? This is fucking fly leaf. Isn't fly leaf like a Christian band? Is that real? Maybe, because I know,
Starting point is 00:33:41 fuck it. I just found out that the red jumpsuit apparatus was the Christian band. What? Really? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:48 Like, dude, right? I just, okay, so I just, okay. I just found a channel that it's been around for 10 fucking years. Like just discovered them, but he's called the fuck, something in the shadows. It's this dude that sits on a piano. Todd in the shadows? Yeah, I think that's right.
Starting point is 00:34:04 That's a channel awesome guy. He worked with like nostalgia critic and stuff. Oh, I have no fucking idea. I just found this guy. I don't remember how it just happened. And then I started binging his shit. And one of them was him breaking down, because like he does the one hit wonder series.
Starting point is 00:34:20 And then it was face down. And then he was talking about their origins and Christian. I was like, what? And then like they became blatantly Christian once they kind of started doing more like underground shit. Or just like, you know, their songs, titles were like, praise and this and that and all the Christian rock chords and I'm like oh I fuck you could have fucking fooled me yeah you could have really fooled me I know uh you don't fly leave Christian oh yeah a lot of people um a lot of bands like ended up that way like Avril Levine ended up doing like
Starting point is 00:34:52 some weird Christian music too like recently no shit in the last like three years yeah because she had that song like uh my head above water or something like i don't know it's like some shit about god saving her from drowning or some fucking nonsense i don't know look i gotta ugh yeah dude fly leaps a christian band apparently from everything that i'm seeing yeah i know creed is a christian yeah that was obvious creed was obvious creed was yeah yeah you might as well call yourself like jesus words but you know like uh I don't know.
Starting point is 00:35:28 Fucking, there are a couple of them that surprised me. Like, I, I'm trying to, like, remember,
Starting point is 00:35:33 like, I know FlyLeaf is one of them. I know, fuck, I have some stuff that's on my playlist, on my Spotify, that, like,
Starting point is 00:35:42 I looked into. Let's do what happens. I love this. It said, so the top thing, it was like, Banzi didn't know a Christian, right under it,
Starting point is 00:35:52 it said, Banzi didn't know that we're British. I just, I just love that because, Like the idea of like all these, there's all these bands that exist. You didn't know they're British.
Starting point is 00:36:01 And it probably like puts a little like a little bad taste in your mouth. Like, oh. Yeah. It's like, ew. British? Gross. The fucking, that's like when I found out ACDC was fucking Australian. Like I had no.
Starting point is 00:36:14 That's, that's a good point. That is a, yeah. I think that fucks with a lot of people because they, they're, they're such an American band. Like everything about them is American. Like, you see everybody with their fucking muscle. cars and shit listening to ACDC and you just think like oh yeah that's his American muscle and ACDC and you're like nah might fucking kangaroos and shit my name is Angus Young and I'm here to rock your socks off and then he starts going into that weird fucking like whatever the fuck
Starting point is 00:36:46 I love that fucking that video of somebody putting his vocals over like instrumentals that don't compliment it at all And it's like, he's a terrible singer when he's not singing with ACDC, you know? I, look, man, to ACDC fans, you're going to be really offended. But I think that shit is fucking awful. I never, the only time I've, look, I'm, the only time I think, look, sometimes his hooks are sound good. Like, shook me all night long.
Starting point is 00:37:22 Like his voice goes very well with that. But when he's just fucking singing without like a melody to carry him through it, I'd fucking hate it. No, it's terrible. I hate it. It's so bad. Like, just listen, just listen to fucking, uh, I don't, we don't need to get into it. I don't want to look at you. You guys get it. We're going to upset so many fucking people this episode. Like, Nikki Lennox fans, uh, people who knew who Doja Cat was, uh, vaccine anti-vax people. And now, uh, uh, ACDC fans. ACDC fans, I'm looking at this list of Christian people and,
Starting point is 00:37:57 I don't That doesn't sound I'm looking at this It says Black Sabbath is a Christian band But I think that's just I know I know I know what's that fate
Starting point is 00:38:13 What's that one that the one hit wonder from 2004 Oh my fucking God That that guy is insane I'm trying to remember the fucking song Oh no It was like It was like an AMV song or like
Starting point is 00:38:27 and it's by a guy like just one person it was like in the vein of like you know breaking Benjamin blow me away or like um oh my god fuck I can't believe Is it a ban or is it a person I'll try to narrow it down
Starting point is 00:38:40 it's it's a song by this band that like they only had one oh my God I'm so upset I'm having a fucking stroke I can't remember it was around breaking Benjamin. I can't. Say the fucking chorus.
Starting point is 00:39:00 Do something. I can't remember the chorus or the verse. I'm actually losing my fucking mind. Oh no. Hold on. Keep, uh, look through this list some more. I have to, I have to gather my thoughts. Oh, no. Okay, let me see. And it was. Oh my God. Let's see. I'm so bad. Mumford and sons. It's hipster shit. That was way later. Maybe I can skip through my Spotify. Maybe I can skip through my Spotify. until I find it. Yeah, maybe you can. But my Spotify is fucking huge.
Starting point is 00:39:32 Many Craviz. He's like a, he's the lead singer was like a Trump guy, like a crazy, like a wild trapped. Trapped. Trapped. Trapped. Trapped. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:39:43 Headstrong. Headstrong. Back up. Take you on. Bro. Like I felt myself. It was like psychonauts. I felt like jumping into my own head like digging through like trying to find this fucking
Starting point is 00:39:57 song that I've heard a million times. I gotta be honest, man. I, fucking, I remember hearing that song first time I was watching it was like a, it was a trailer for something. And I was in the theater. I think I was
Starting point is 00:40:14 going to watch the Tomb Raider or something. And that thing came on advertising something. And I'm like, I don't like this. It just didn't, it just didn't sound. it sounded so it sounded like a wet noodle for somebody being so like headstrong i'll take you on it sounded so like it sounded like a guy that was like just barking but you would hit him and you
Starting point is 00:40:39 would go run away like just that's what it sounds like i don't like this yeah he was he was a bit whiny i feel like i remember liking it when i was younger but like it's one of those it's weird like it hasn't aged particularly well like there are some songs from back then like that butt rock era, like, that I think are actually still pretty good. Like, I think the guitar riff in, um, what is, uh, I hate everything about you, that three days grace song, I think that guitar riff is awesome. Like the way that sounds. That song is, but that song itself is like a bit, you know.
Starting point is 00:41:11 Look, that song is so, look, look, the song itself is cringe as fuck, but yeah, it is a brilliant song. Like, it's, yeah, it's, they actually, like, even that one song that is, uh, it's, I mean, look, it's suicide songs. in general are pretty cringe, but I still do appreciate them because there's so many angsty kids that need to hear shit like this because they're so fucked up, you know? Yeah, it serves a purpose of like kind of growing past that shit, but...
Starting point is 00:41:37 I appreciate it. They had one like that too. I forget what, oh, never too late or whatever. Like, even that. It's not too late. It's never too late. Yeah. And that fucking, that acoustic,
Starting point is 00:41:48 dun dun dun dun dun dun da dan dan da dan dan. It's good, yeah. I was like, man, these guys are like the kings that this simple is bullshit but it really just tickles you and uh they're really good right shit like that man i wouldn't mind writing shit like that yeah i i feel like what do you feel like of the bands that came up around that time like in that kind of feel which ones do you think of age the best if you could if you could uh if you could give if there are even any that apply to that you know if there are any that have aged well because you know track
Starting point is 00:42:24 is not aged well. Not at all. Three Days Grace, I think, is aged kind of okay. Certain songs. Going pretty strong, too. Yeah, I think so. And there's stuff, like, it doesn't, it doesn't, like, I don't, when I hear, when I hear Three Days Grace, I don't cringe.
Starting point is 00:42:42 I know it's cringy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I don't cringe. Yeah. You acknowledge that it's cringe, but it doesn't actually, it doesn't actually invoke that emotion. Yeah, exactly. So I'm like, I'm like, I can.
Starting point is 00:42:54 If it comes on, I can listen to this. I might even catch myself singing it under my fucking breath. So that shit ain't bad. I think I really like some of Breaking Benjamin's old shit. I was going to say that too. Like every now and then, like when I'm driving for a while, and I like, I just blast my Spotify because I have it all downloaded to my phone. And every now and then, like a Breaking Benjamin song will come up like,

Starting point is 00:44:53 or like whatever and it's like this is pretty it's pretty good it's weird too because like I think they're hits like the main one like Diary of Jane that's the one that I feel like doesn't that's the one that I feel like I listen to now and I'm like eh
Starting point is 00:45:08 yeah but everything else is actually pretty solid I feel like yeah that was one that really put them on the map I remember that yeah that was fuck that was my space days holy shit I was just thinking about that like that was like you would get so it's like yeah i can't wait to download uh one x by three days grace on fucking
Starting point is 00:45:30 lime wire so i could post it on my space dude i feel like i'm the only one i've never i've because i hear people complain about viruses all the time i've never gotten a virus on on kazar lime wire however there were pieces of shit that there's no way you could tell yeah that would they would they would they would download a song and then they would go into say i tuesday for example, and put the volume to like 200% or whatever. And you would save it and then you would upload it so that you know, now you're P2Ping so people can fucking download that shit. And then so you think it's normal and you play it and it just fucks your ears.
Starting point is 00:46:08 Like it was a horrible little trick that people would do. And you would have to just go like, see, I know iTunes is the way that you can edit. I don't know any other. There was another one that I used to use that was like iTunes but free, but I can't remember. I think it had the word monkey in it or something. It was so fucking long ago.
Starting point is 00:46:24 Yeah, weird. It was something where it's like, ah, if you don't want to use iTunes, this is fucking here and it works just as good. And it might have been called MediaMonkey, actually. Fuck. Let me see. There were so many, it's so funny how many proprietary things.
Starting point is 00:46:38 Holy shit. Media Monkey, yeah. Media monkey. Holy, I forgot about this. There were so many weird, like, programs that existed back then because, like, nobody really knew how ubiquitous, like, things like iTunes was. Like, iTunes was still, like,
Starting point is 00:46:51 definitely, like, the powerhouse. But it was back. back then where you could start like a new like oh yeah I'll make this media play or whatever do you remember like Google video before before they bought YouTube that was it was it was very weird it was like Google video as a term is probably like not even a searchable term because it probably applies to so many things right but like maybe like Google Media Player 2004 or something but like it looked like the the 2005 version of Windows Media Player
Starting point is 00:47:27 where it had like the bubbly buttons, but it was like white. And it was like really, that was how I saw like early like internet clips like Lazy Sunday and like from SNL with Chris Parnell and Andy Sandberg and shit like that. And then they bought YouTube like later and then it just they integrated it but.
Starting point is 00:47:46 It was very, there was so many of those. Yeah, I don't even immediately Windows. Sorry, go ahead. I just don't know how you would even find it Google Video Player Yeah, I try to find it And all it did was just take me To the actual Windows Media Player
Starting point is 00:48:01 And I forgot about the visuals, dude Like when you would just do it Like you would let it And it would be doing all that crazy Swirley shit The way it looks, yeah Uh, yeah. If you if you go
Starting point is 00:48:13 If you if you type in Google Video Player 2003 and go to images It's not exactly You know What I'm trying to show you, but it kind of, uh, the first image is kind of like just the way the player looked and like the play button and like the white and like the little volume slider. It's just fucking really weird looking at that shit because it looks so fucking dated.
Starting point is 00:48:40 Yeah, holy shit. Yeah, I don't think I've ever fucking, if I've ever used that, I didn't fuck. no, I don't think I've ever used it. This isn't look remotely familiar to me, but it is so fucking dated though. It's like everything was all bubbly and shit. shit back in the day and like rounded out and stuff. Yeah. And then it got like really angular. And then it went back to bubbly.
Starting point is 00:49:01 Yeah. You notice that? Like when when Twitter like got like circle profile pictures and shit. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:11 That shit pissed me off. But anyway. We should probably get into some questions. It's probably like a lot of shit piled up. Right? Yeah. Like I mean, figured like we still have like a bunch of unanswered questions from the last doc so this is this is a while ago
Starting point is 00:49:29 so apologies hopefully some of you who are listening are still here and some of you who have uh you know ask these questions are still here um ppa pa p p p p p p p p pimp the outrageous scoundrel and america's favorite wizard road and this is just like a general kind of comment thanks chris for recommending bastion and hathes i finally started uh checking out super giant games in order uh after seeing bastion and issue of game in former a decade ago and now bastion and transistors are some of my favorite games so like i just want to read that because i like i like when people uh find new shit thanks to us it's uh fucking awesome it just makes me feel good agreed uh it's cool it's cool as fuck even even if sweeney is a fucking fool for not liking mass effect too um that yeah that's weird that it's weird
Starting point is 00:50:14 it's weird i feel like he just in his mind he hyped it up in a way that i guess he thought i don't know I don't know how he, it's, I don't know how he liked the first one better than the second one. I don't really understand. The only thing I can think is maybe he thought the loyalty missions were too tedious.
Starting point is 00:50:28 I don't remember what the fuck he said. I don't know. Well, he has the same complaint that everybody has, which is like, it's not as RPG focused. And it's like, sure.
Starting point is 00:50:39 But it's awesome. So. Yeah. Maybe deal with it. I mean, it's the fuck it. I'm like, dude,
Starting point is 00:50:44 I, I don't really, I want, I want fucking just awesome shit to happen in games and just there's so much like just you can take out a you can take out half of the loyalty missions and just insert layer the shadow broker that dLC yeah and i'm like that fucking the game is still like oh what an amazing fucking story what an amazing arc about like the shadow broker like that's fucking like that is the best dlc i still played to this day it's so fucking it's so fun and the music
Starting point is 00:51:19 is incredible. So anyway, fuck you, sweetie. I'm just saying. Yeah, he's not here to defend this. I'll fuck you. I know. Oh my God. All right. I am the grass man, first of the Midwesterners, defender of the lawn. Water yo grass wrote in. He says, are any of you
Starting point is 00:51:35 excited for the Dune remake? Personally, I'm excited for the sandworms to be scary and not look like Muppets. I'll be real. I still do not know what the fuck Dune is. I don't know if I lost my nerd cred or whatever the fuck
Starting point is 00:51:51 by admitting that but I really have no fucking idea like Sweeney knows like and Sweeney is kind of excited for Dune I think but I don't know like I just don't understand what it is it's yeah do you know anything
Starting point is 00:52:07 about it I'm on the same I'm on the same level as you to where it's one thing that passed me up and I just don't have the energy to get into it because at this point man I feel like I'm, I don't even know if there's another like universe of something that I can really dive into at this point. And I really don't, I'm trying to think of something like, hmm,
Starting point is 00:52:31 like anything that I'm playing right now, like just replaying God of War and, uh, and some other things that I've, it's all things that I've kind of been playing throughout the years. Like, say even if it's Doom, like Doom's been fucking forever. Like, you know, like say, oh, even when they have these Doom, 2016 and Doom Eternal and stuff. like doom has been around for so long. I can get back into Doom or like Mass. Mass. Effect fucking legendary edition or stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:52:56 And if it's something else, it has to be very small. And like, oh, that was a cool little, you know, that took like maybe 10 hours to beat. That was cool.
Starting point is 00:53:03 Yeah. But like say, say for example, like, Dune, there's so much shit to it. Like say, fucking movies,
Starting point is 00:53:11 this, that, fucking, uh, my friend that I was staying with, he's big Dune fan, has tabletop shit and all this thing. And I'm just like,
Starting point is 00:53:19 he's like, oh man, this shit looks dope. He's like, I can't wait. And I'm like, oh, yeah. I don't fucking... Yeah, I don't know. It looks cool, but it's just like, it's like, I never finished, for example, the expanse because for the same reason, I hear like the expanse is the shit. They're like, if you liked the reboot of Battlestar Galactica, you're going to fucking
Starting point is 00:53:38 love the expanse. And I was like, oh, I can't wait to watch it. And I watched like a couple episodes. I'm like, fuck, I have time to watch this shit, dude. Yeah. So I was just like, eh. It's just the commitment of it where it's just like, I don't know if I, I, you know, the older I get, the more I realize it's like the time that I spend
Starting point is 00:53:54 watching shit passively could be spent like working or like, you know, doing, I don't know, like, it's probably not the healthiest mindset, but I'm just like, that's just literally where I'm at where if you have like a show that's like 500 episodes, dude, I'm not fucking doing that. Like, I'm just not going to do it. Like you come up to me to be like, you should watch one piece. It's a 9,000 episodes. And it's like, fuck you.
Starting point is 00:54:17 Who do you think you're talking to? Do you think I just like I never need to eat I don't need to make money I don't need like who do you Who could you possibly recommend One Piece to outside of like Maybe literally a child
Starting point is 00:54:32 Yeah like I can't imagine Being so presumptuous as to As to just be like hey Derek you know you know what I think you should watch 700 hours Of an animated show that I thought was okay. It'd be insane. No. No. Like I, it would, it would, it would be, I wouldn't be watching it. It would be in the background and I would be paying absolutely no attention to it. And so when
Starting point is 00:55:03 somebody asked me like, did you watch it? I'm like, I'm like, I'm not really. Because yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. I would know what the fuck's happening. Like I've, I've, what I say to people when I, when I have watched something in the background is I'll say I've seen it, which is kind of like, you know, borderline lying, but also, like, I have seen what you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:55:27 Yes, your eyes have been laid upon this product. I have seen one piece, like, for sure, but I haven't watched it. God, fuck, no.
Starting point is 00:55:37 And even just like when people recommend, like anime and shit like that to me, it's like, all right, the first question I ask is how many episodes? And if it's anything over 50, like typically I'm like,
Starting point is 00:55:45 ah, you know, like, Death Note was pretty short. thank fucking God there was this other show that I watched kind of recently Parasite which was also super short
Starting point is 00:55:55 It was only like less than 20 episodes I'm like this is perfect This is the perfect Like Castlevania also Like Castlevania was like new And like such a low time sync That it was just like yeah This is awesome and it respects my time
Starting point is 00:56:09 I love it But I was the same way with everything But Dragon Ball Z Like Dragon Ball Z is probably the only one That had like Just a stupid amount of episodes where everything else I watched,
Starting point is 00:56:19 my favorite of everything, like say Gundam Wing, 27 episodes. Yeah. It was just like that, yeah. Well, you know why Dragon Ball was different? Is because we were young and had way more time. That's very true.
Starting point is 00:56:32 Dragon Ball's he was at. That's the thing. It's like, if you're a kid, look, if you're like 11 and you're like really into One Piece, I totally get it. Because you have all this fucking time to like waste,
Starting point is 00:56:45 essentially. You don't have to work. Once you come home from school, you're pretty much done. You have homework, I guess, but that's not really like a super, like, hefty responsibility. So you have a ton of time to waste. And you're going to waste it watching shit or, like, playing shit. That's why, like, fucking 12-year-olds on Fortnite
Starting point is 00:57:01 are fucking pro-gamerers, basically. Because you just have all this time to get, like, insanely good. But... Success starts with your drive.

Starting point is 00:57:47 I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan and Morton. which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I saw billboard of years recently that said 20 billion one. 20 billion is an insane number. Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think somewhere north,
Starting point is 00:58:04 probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and badder and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law.
Starting point is 00:58:22 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.
Starting point is 00:58:34 Thanks for having me. Visit furtherpeople.com for an office near you. You know, I think Dragon Ball was the same thing for me, where it's like I just have all this time, you know? But it's weird because we had so much time, but at the same time our access to that content was like a lot more limited
Starting point is 00:58:50 than it is now, you know? And we still watched all of it. Like we had to wait for it to fucking come on or like come on TV or like buy VHSs. Like I have Dragon Ball VHS tapes. I have the entire boo saga on VHS. Nice. Like for real.
Starting point is 00:59:11 It's a stupid amount. And I have a VCR. I wonder if I could, oh man, I wonder if that TV downstairs. works. That would be awesome to watch like VHS as a dragon wall. But yeah. It's got to look real good, man. It's going to look
Starting point is 00:59:23 really good. Oh yeah. I bet they've I bet those tapes have aged wonderfully in my humid basement. But yeah, I don't know. I don't even remember what the fucking question was. So I guess we're just going to move on. Doug dimma dumbass wrote in. He says, hey, howdy, hey, boys.
Starting point is 00:59:41 What's the worst first date you have ever been on? Mine ended with witnessing my date falling off of Vespa and having a seizure in the middle of the road. Holy shit. Oh my God. That's a fucking bad date, dude. Oh, what the hell? Was she okay?
Starting point is 00:59:57 God, damn. You got to follow up, dude. Yeah, Doug Demma, dumbass. I know it's been like probably like a month since you sent that in, but like fucking can you, can we get like I don't know, so like under this Patreon post. Can we get some fucking clarification please? Because that leaves off in a really ominous place.
Starting point is 01:00:14 But worst first date that I've ever been on. I'm trying to remember like, am I weird for like not really remembering first dates? Like, is that a weird thing? I don't think so. I think, uh,
Starting point is 01:00:28 I think the only time you would remember, uh, a first date is if something really traumatic happen. Or if like, it's probably a, your, your fucking long time girlfriend or wife or something where it's like, oh yeah,
Starting point is 01:00:43 I remember that was when like, I, some cliche shit. Like, I knew this. was the girl was going to be some bullshit like that you know yeah yeah i saw her from across the gymnasium and i knew from that moment that we would be together forever yeah i knew from that moment i just wanted to clap them cheeks for as long as humanly possible i might have said mine on this podcast already um if i haven't because this is i'll remember this is probably the yeah this is the only this is the only really bad
Starting point is 01:01:15 first date that I remember having was yeah so this girl I invited over my house after work this was in like 2011 we're just going to watch the Twilight Zone because it just appeared on Netflix. It's like oh shit
Starting point is 01:01:31 Twilight Zone Zones on Netflix let's binge it and I fell asleep before she showed up to my house and she was like calling me and knocking on the door and I fucking I just passed out so when I woke up I felt bad I was like oh shit my bad
Starting point is 01:01:46 and I said I'll make it up to you so I took her to the cheesecake factory which was like pretty high end for my bitch ass you know because I don't fucking usually it's like oh let's just go to like Denny's you know what I mean yeah but uh so everything was cool until we started talking about like politics and I felt like I didn't say anything unreasonable
Starting point is 01:02:07 right um like there was two things that I said you said I don't know how like You said, you know, I don't know about you, but I got vaccinated once. And she's like, don't you know that gives you autism? You're probably retarded now. And I was like, oh, oh, shit. I was like, no, no, but really, no, she would be one of the ones that would be furious if, uh, if I were to be like, oh, I don't know about those vaccines. They fucking, damn, been tested.
Starting point is 01:02:35 She would fucking freak out. But, uh, I don't know how they, we start talking about guns for some fucking reason. I don't remember why. But I just said one of the most obvious things, I was like, hey, like, you know, when places have, like, towns, when everyone's carrying guns, people, there's less crime because people don't fuck around as much because they'll get shot in the face that they do. And then versus, like, a metropolitan or a metropolis where guns aren't, you're not really allowed to have them. So people run rampant because they know they're not going to get shot in the fucking face. It wasn't like, because I don't know. it must have been talking about some type of gun control shit.
Starting point is 01:03:14 But I was just, I didn't, because me, I don't give a fuck. I'm just like, I'm the type of person that's like, guns are cool. If they took them, whatever. I would be like, I would turn in my gun. A lot of people would be very angry hearing that shit. But the thing is, I don't hunt. I don't typically, you know, I don't feel that attached to weapons, like in that sense. So I'm like cooler here.
Starting point is 01:03:34 I understand. I wouldn't turn in my gun. I would like to keep my gun. If you had to. And that's what I'm saying. I'm saying if there was a thing where it's like, okay, I'm just saying in the, in a hypothetical, this would never happen in the United States. Right. I was saying hypothetically, Second Amendment is no longer a thing.
Starting point is 01:03:52 I wouldn't freak out. Personally, I wouldn't freak out because it doesn't affect me in the way that it would affect a lot of other people. That's what I'm saying is just a personal thing where I'm like, oh, that's fucking weird. But at the same time, the people that are like, I need to protect it from the government. I'm like, dude, the government will use sound cannons on you and then you'll cradle and a bubble. Yeah, what is it? They'll use the brown, the brown noise and make you shit yourself.
Starting point is 01:04:16 Yeah, I'm just saying, like... Yeah, I know what you mean. I think, uh, I'm of the mind where it's like, if I could like snap my fingers and like literally like every gun on the planet would disappear, I probably would do it. You know what I mean? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:29 Especially, I would do that and I'd be like, I'd be fine with it. But knowing that like there's so many guns in circulation anyway and like them like trying to get it from me, it's like, you know, I'm just gonna keep my gun. But I know what you mean? Like, that's not, that's not, that's not a great. conversation to have at a first date. Although, it's, it's, it's, it's, I don't even remember how it happened. But obviously she was some,
Starting point is 01:04:49 somewhat of like a like a political activist, I think. I think her and I, we were both somewhat on the same page with like, say, back in 2010, I got really interested in politics. Yeah. Uh, it's one of the reasons why when I started talking about politics in 2016 and whatever, whatever the fuck, um, I got burnt out quickly because I would already, I've already did my my thing. I had already paid my dues. I had already fucking my awareness of police brutality. My my fucking talking about Wall Street and the one percent. Like I have done my thing of like fuck these rich assholes. Fuck like, you know, people who are abusing their power. I was, I've already did my thing. I fucking, I feel like so at this point, I'm much more jaded.
Starting point is 01:05:34 Anyway. I don't even. So the other thing that got her really riled up and to me, I couldn't understand why when I when I told her about like yeah like because I like said I still fucking don't like billionaires not really you know and yeah I was I was uh talking about the Bilderberg group and all I said was like oh yeah these rich and power and all I said was in my interpretation the Bilderberg are just these fucking rich assholes that meet up and do shit I'm like and I was like it's no different than a fucking frack club you brought up the fucking buildingbergs dude we were already in like this realm of like territory. I know.
Starting point is 01:06:14 I know. I know. Yeah. It's not like out of nowhere or anything. It's just funny to. It's a funny thing. Because I don't know if I've ever had a builderberg conversation with any, any relationship that I've ever. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:06:27 It's just such a like, super specific thing. Listen, I understand how stupid this sounds from the outside looking in. I totally understand. It was just in the way that I was even talking about it. It was like a passive thing. And then she was like, that sounds fucking crazy. And I was, and that's what caught me off guard. I was like, wait, why does that sound crazy?
Starting point is 01:06:51 Why does it sound weird that the rich and powerful people meet up and discuss world stuff? Yeah, it's definitely like, yeah. I was like, why does that sound crazy? Like I didn't say like they're fucking eating children or some shit. I literally was just like, oh yeah. Like, I just wonder. They have children vertically, vertically on stakes and they, they peel them like, shwarma over an open fire.
Starting point is 01:07:14 Yeah, so I guess she just was, I don't know, she was heated looking for a fight, I guess. Yeah, that sounds like one of those. I wasn't even yelling at her. I didn't even raise my voice, but her was like getting up to and I was just like, yo, I've, yeah. Like, relax. I've definitely been in those situations because like I have raised my voice, I think probably a total of, I think three times in my entire life actually.
Starting point is 01:07:39 like in like relationship like disputes and it's literally and when I say three times I literally mean like I don't mean like three like three times in that like one time is like an hour of screaming I literally mean like a singular moment in time where I'm like can stop stop you know yeah like but literally three times in my entire life I've never raised because I just I can't like the second something gets like really annoying like I can't like I just can't bring myself to get that anger out anymore. It's like if I'm being screamed at It's like you fucking you know You didn't remember our anniversary or whatever It's like no I'm sorry I totally like I really just you know I lost track of the days I didn't forget it
Starting point is 01:08:21 I just forgot that today was the day that it was And it's like a screaming thing And it's like ah what the fuck And I'm like I summon the spirit of Al Bundy I remember one thing I said I got a lot in try I got really in trouble for it
Starting point is 01:08:37 I was like this can't you I can't be the first person you've ever met to forget a thing is what I said this is a long time ago I know not to say that now but yeah not the best thing to say but I didn't mean it forgetting shit is it's natural
Starting point is 01:08:59 to for things to slip your mind and even if you do know even if you know something beforehand like oh I know this is coming up very soon and then some dumb shit happens and then you forget. It's just like, all right, shit happens. You can just try to make up for it. Like what I was trying to do with this date. I fell fucking sleep.
Starting point is 01:09:17 I was trying to make up with it for a fucking fancy meal. You fucked up. You know, yeah. But nowadays, it's kind of, it's harder to have an excuse of that shit about forgetting because of phones and everything. Like put a fucking reminder in your phone, you piece of shit.
Starting point is 01:09:33 That is true. That is fair. It's much harder to like, get away with that now because I'm like, oh yeah, I can. Yeah, because now they, yeah, because now they're just clear that I really just don't value that at all. Like there. I'd wrap up the story.
Starting point is 01:09:50 Okay. No, no, I'm just, I don't know, the whole milestone. Like, even my birthday, I don't know if I would really remember my birthday if it wasn't just drilled into me like every single, you know what I mean? Like, it's just, I don't know, fucking times pass and whatever. Success starts with your drive. and American Public University is here to fuel it.

Starting point is 01:10:41 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. $20 billion is an insane number.
Starting point is 01:10:59 Yeah, $20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year.

Wow. Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's Large Injury Lawfirm, thanks for coming by the show.
Starting point is 01:11:31 Thanks for having me. Visit forethepeople.com for an office near you. You know, like I can't. I just get I remember I got in trouble this wasn't a first date but I was with I didn't even remember necessarily if like we were just friends at the time or so
Starting point is 01:11:46 it like in my mind it was kind of a date you know but like I went to see Les Miz with this girl and two of our friends and we we got there like none of us we neither of us knew what
Starting point is 01:12:01 lay Miz was we thought it was like oh it's like a musical because we saw the trailers or whatever and it's like like, oh, it looks like a musical. It's like, ah, whatever. This should be like, these other people want to go. I guess we'll go and we'll just like, you know, maybe we'll enjoy it. Maybe we won't. I was expecting a musical and what I got was a fucking opera,
Starting point is 01:12:22 which probably doesn't sound too different if you're just kind of listening to this and you're not familiar with like the terminology. But a musical is, that's a movie or a play or a show. where people at some point will speak to each other, you know? And at some point, the songs stop. But an opera is not that at all. There is no speaking in opera. There's no moment where people are not singing.
Starting point is 01:12:53 The only breaks in singing are in between people singing. And it's fucking grating. Which is wild because, like, Le Mizz is, like, one of the most famous, like, operas ever. And I've seen like stage performances of certain songs. I'm like, this is actually really good. But that movie was like seeing Hugh Jackman like and fucking what's it. Not on a Ferris. Fucking what's it.
Starting point is 01:13:15 Oh my God. Anne Hathaway. Like just like screaming at me in a theater when I was expecting like a high school musical type deal. I don't know. It was not a fun. Not a fun time. High school musical. You ever seen that shit?
Starting point is 01:13:31 Yeah. Dude, unironically. Like I really did like. I really did like it when I was a kid. Like I didn't like that I liked it, you know? Like I would pretend like I didn't like it. But like, but like in my head, I was like, that's a pretty cat. Those are pretty catchy songs.
Starting point is 01:13:45 Like for real. I hate it. I, not sure if I, I don't, if I've seen one of them or any of them, it's completely out of my memory. Because I can't, I can't even say like one second of anything from those. Well, you were, you were well out of high. school well that was that was a lot older yeah yeah i was not even in high school when high school musical came out so like to me it was just like oh cool you know oh it sounds nice and i still like yeah but like there's some there's some uh like those nick junior uh shows or some of their uh what
Starting point is 01:14:24 what he called the theme songs and stuff that when i was even when i was like say 13 or something like that, I'd be like, oh man, that shit fucking kind of, that shit, I kind of like that shit. Yeah. Yo, low key, the backyardigans, the backyardigans slaps, bro. We are your friends, the backyard again. It's like, wow, I'm 17. Yeah, I think I, I think I watched Blues Clues way too late, like, like, I stopped. I stopped like at a point where it's like I had no business
Starting point is 01:15:01 watching Blues Clues anymore. Let me figure this out. I want to figure this out. I want to see because I remember seeing the episode when Steve left and Joe came in. Let's see what year that is. Let's see how fucking embarrassing that shit is for I probably shouldn't be watching that. I remember watching that but I was also probably like younger. But I don't remember I don't remember when exactly that was. It's probably like at a point where I definitely shouldn't have been watching it. Was that maybe like 2003 is my guess? 2004?
Starting point is 01:15:30 I'm gonna, let's see, blues clues, Steve leaves. That's my guess. Oh my God. Why did I, my fingers? You gotta go like,
Starting point is 01:15:40 when did Steve? Season four, episode 24, that, no. Okay, 2002. Oh,
Starting point is 01:15:49 fuck, so close. Damn. Yeah, so. Wow, yeah, I remember. College and,
Starting point is 01:15:53 so in 2002, I, I was, oh, I say in April. In April 2002, I was fucking 14. No, no, no, no, no, that's not right. That's not right at all. That's not right at all. That's way too old.
Starting point is 01:16:05 I was, I think I was 12. I was 12. I was 12 years old. Honestly, dude, like, I think I watched Blues Clues for probably, I think about that time. Like, it's just like wholesome. I think at a certain part, at a certain point, I think you're not even really watching it because you're engaged. You're kind of watching it because you watch it for so long.
Starting point is 01:16:23 and it's just sort of like comforting ASMR, you know? Like, because, yeah. Because I don't know, like, I feel like I, like, if I had a kid, right, and like a young child, and I put on blues clues, I don't know if that would, like, great me, you know, like, I don't know if that, I don't, I think I would actually probably enjoy that a lot more than, like, fucking cocoa melon, you know? Like, or that weird, that we, dude, I was actually having, like, sushi recently. like in this restaurant
Starting point is 01:16:54 and they were playing fucking cocoa melon on the TV because there was a baby behind the counter not working like he didn't have like a you know he didn't have like a social security number
Starting point is 01:17:06 or anything but like he uh you know he was just like one of the you know one of the workers had like they had to have their kid with them or whatever and they had cocoa melon like blasting on the TV and I was like this is such a horrifying like I don't want to make this mental connection between like sushi and cocoa melon
Starting point is 01:17:21 because I might not ever like sushi again. Yeah. No, definitely having a kid, my kid for sure will be in the blues clues. Because I can,
Starting point is 01:17:31 I could probably sit down and watch blues clues passively right now. Yeah, me too. I'm like, oh, I need to edit a video and put on some blues clues. I think I could too,
Starting point is 01:17:42 like unironically. It's like, it's just a cute thing, you know. Yeah. The entire episode is on fucking YouTube. See if I have the page.
Starting point is 01:17:52 for it or not. No, no, just people just illegally uploading it. It's cool. Yeah, they don't give a shit. Yeah, apparently not, because yeah, there's like full episodes. So, I'm gonna watch me some blues. Wait, why doesn't it have so many dislikes? I guess people were, I guess people were mad. Yeah, people
Starting point is 01:18:07 were sad that Steve left. Wouldn't you be sad? Yeah, but it's like, yeah, but why do you see, I hate when that happens, though, like, say, say a creator that you like is covering something that that is so, like, that you loathe, and then they, like, dislike the fucking video because of the content that is being covered.
Starting point is 01:18:25 I'm like, no, don't do that. You're, that's, you're just disliking your creators, the creator's channel and not the content, you know what I mean? Like, that's what they're doing here. It's like, you, you don't dislike you, this person's channel, but you're, it's fucked up. I don't know. It is pretty fucked up. It doesn't help.
Starting point is 01:18:44 It's not, you're not helping. Can you know how stressful that must have been, though, like to be Joe. Like, I would have hated to be Joe. massive shoes to fill man yeah just like fuck I gotta be I gotta be like the new Steve dude I completely forgot that there's a
Starting point is 01:19:01 fucking uh a new dude yeah there's a he's like an Asian dude right yeah an Asian kid uh he was the most recent compilation holy shit that's like a wow dude these people are fucked up man
Starting point is 01:19:14 this it's like what do this video was this video was okay uploaded in July this year has 2.1 million views. It's just like Josh and Blues vlogs. Episode 21 through 30. It's a compilation.
Starting point is 01:19:31 And it has 3.4k likes and 1.9K dislikes. Like people are so fucking ruthless. Like, dude, grown-ass people that probably miss Steve that are just dislike bombing this shit. It's like, come on, guys. I take it. I take it. You did see that video that they tweeted out, right?
Starting point is 01:19:52 with Steve going like Yeah I thought that was really nice Like that was like a weird Like that was like definitely like corporate pandering or whatever Like you know like ah you know whatever nostalgia is like really in But like that was like a weird Like seeing blues clues just be like
Starting point is 01:20:06 Seeing Steve from blues scoos be like Yeah I went to fucking college and like student loans and shit And I'm like this is like weirdly real for blues clues Like I know he's probably not gonna talk about like ah You know I I cheated on my ex-wife or whatever the fuck I don't know if he did that or anything. I'm just saying.
Starting point is 01:20:24 I was hanging out with Michael fucking Magic Johnson and, you know, I got the HIV. But it's okay. Guys, we have, we have medicine where it can be dormant now. Yeah, it turns out. So I'm doing good. I hope you're good. I hope you're okay. I have polycystic ovaries.
Starting point is 01:20:45 It's nice to see you again. All right, let's fucking do. I don't know we're doing. Let's move. Let's, uh, let's move on. What the? Hey, what was it? I don't fucking know.
Starting point is 01:21:00 JFK shot himself, wrote in. He says, hello Steve, skeleton, John Dillerman and Puerto Rican Cenovite. Longtime listener and first time patron, your podcast has been a great source of fun and cope for long days of work. So thanks for that. I appreciate that. That's why we do it.

I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan and Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I saw billboard of years recently that said 20 billion one. 20 billion is an insane number. Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and batter and our army grows.
Starting point is 01:22:58 So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. That's pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call.
Starting point is 01:23:15 24-7, 365. Wow. Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's Large Injury Law Firm, thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit for the people.com for an office near you. get into like a because I have a gym in the other room like literally that I can like use so which is like ideal so like maybe I'll start doing it I heard from someone somewhere and I don't know if this is true but the second you wake up if you like just walk outside and like take in sunlight or whatever that's like supposedly like really good for you although like I don't know what the fuck that really means because that means like so because that would mean like homeless people are like really golden then you know so so
Starting point is 01:23:55 So, I don't know. Possibly, but, you know. I feel like I hear good things about that, but I also hear things about the sunset as well. People say it's really good to soak up the sun at dusk. I hear it. I don't, so it's the same thing. Like, I hear these things, but fucking anecdotal shit.
Starting point is 01:24:13 Yeah, it's like one of those things that it's like, this sounds like horoscope type shit, but it also, like, could possibly be real. And I have no idea, like, what to make of it. Because the sun kills you if you soak it up too much. you know that's true i guess there's a healthy balance right like can't have too much sun everything in moderation don't like yeah bronze yourself like a fucking thanksgiving turkey or like you're trying to try out for jersey shore or whatever the fuck yeah right yeah man
Starting point is 01:24:41 i don't have any i mean i used to but then uh like i'm just expanding like a balloon because i haven't been i've been doing shit in quite some time though but i kind of figured out that the house I was living in L.A. was be it, I think it was a couple of things. I think there was mold. And the fucking house was infested with rodents. Oh, fuck. And
Starting point is 01:25:05 it was fucking insane. Like where I first heard things. I remember Frank came over and he's like, I think I heard a mouse. This was when I first moved in. I was like, oh, fucking mice in here. And then at some point, I heard something walking on one of my bags in my room. And I was like, what the fuck?
Starting point is 01:25:23 And then, of course, I got a vacuum cleaner because I'm like, if there's a mouse in here, I'm going to fucking suction the shit out of it. Yeah, yeah. And then I just saw this gray flash. It was so fast. And boom, and then went under my door. And I was just like, oh, my God. And so that's why I was like, okay, whatever. Anyway, there was weird fucking smells.
Starting point is 01:25:43 And then I had an extremator come. And he was showing me like, oh, yeah, this shit's fucking infested. But you have to spend a shitload of money because everything's fucked. And anyway, my point is that, like, I got. really sick being in that house. And I'm not surprised. But yeah, like I fucking like my health, Brad damn near deteriorated.
Starting point is 01:26:02 And I'm still like building myself back up. It's kind of crazy. But once I'm like really good and I think pretty much now I'm in a completely different environment. My routine would be in the morning. It would usually be like around 10 or 11. I would go to the gym. I would stretch for about 10 to 15 minutes. Like it was stretching in yoga every fucking day,
Starting point is 01:26:22 every morning. and then I would fucking spend about an hour on cardio and then about a half hour on like say weights and stuff and that would be it was like a ritual and I'm so far from that I'm fucking just weak and fucking doughy like my face I look at it and I'm like god damn it's like a fucking balloon like I feel like I can pop myself dude
Starting point is 01:26:41 like I feel like it would be cool if he could though like it just drain out like all this fucking you're done you're like all right cool I'm fucking good I look good now Yeah, I gotta start I don't know, I can tell I'm like out of shape Because I was just like just moving boxes I was like, God damn, I haven't
Starting point is 01:26:59 I just can't like, this should not tire me out so quickly And I'm just like, fuck, I really gotta Really gotta get that shit in order But like you're living with fucking mold and mice At a certain point like you wanna I feel like I could handle mice more than I can handle like roaches and shit Just because, you know, like
Starting point is 01:27:16 I don't know, there could only be so many mice I feel like, right? You'd imagine. Yeah. Unless you have, unless you're living in like fucking, you know, plague Europe, you know, there could only be so many like mice in a, in a confined space. But like roaches are like, they could just be in the fucking tiles. You know, like it could be fucking everywhere.
Starting point is 01:27:36 There could be like millions of them actually, probably. So it's just like, I'd rather have mice, but it's still not a, not a great scenario. Also, I feel like mice are easier to, you know, track than roaches are. Yeah, that, that, not, probably not too many of them, but this is the problem. Oh, there was also, there was a couple of rats actually too, not just like little mice. I forgot about that. But like, I think the problem would have been, the problem could have been fixed easily, but I moved to that house to help upkeep it and kind of look after my uncle and stuff because
Starting point is 01:28:08 my uncle is somewhat special needs. Not, I don't, not 100%, but he just kind of, he was very sheltered. It was very sheltered and he never learned anything about anything. and it's, you know, anyway. So I kind of, I moved there to help out the family and it ended up like completely like just, it was the worst decision that I've ever made as an adult with me trying to do what I thought was the right thing to do.
Starting point is 01:28:37 I usually don't talk to my family very often. I'm usually doing my own thing, doing music, moving everywhere and shit. I'm like, all right, I'll be around my family, try to help out, upkeep the house. And then maybe eventually because it was my grandma's house. She passed away in 2019. And then it's like, all right, try to get everything figured out. And then it just, my health deteriorate.
Starting point is 01:28:57 And it took me a while to even understand what the fuck was even happening. Yeah. To the point where I, uh, my, my fucking testosterone level plummeted. It was crazy. Like, it was like, it was crazy. How do you know that that's happening? Like, is there like, like, like, you have to get a blood test to get it like measured, right? Yes.
Starting point is 01:29:14 So to know your, your levels. And the only reason I, uh, is, oddly enough. the only reason I I kind of knew it was plummeting was I was already feeling kind of like like I was like oh man I feel kind of like weak and
Starting point is 01:29:30 it would be cool to like maybe get on TRT or something and just get like just get stronger like you don't need to be fucking 3,000 fucking total testosterone something like a fucking superhero but you can just get it to a place where you're just building muscle quicker and shit
Starting point is 01:29:45 anyway when I got my tested I was like ah this is kind of low but the doctors, their spectrum of normal is fucking ridiculous. I don't know why this is a thing, but it doesn't make any sense. Normal of total testosterone is 300 to 1,200, which is how the fuck is that normal? How is that a normal spectrum?
Starting point is 01:30:06 That's such a wide range. It's way too wide. So anyway, they're saying, yeah, some people, because do you remember a few years ago, the tri guys, they got their testosterone check and they were around the 300? So a bunch of people were making fun of them like, oh, look at these fucking beta mills. And then there were people come out and saying, well, no, those are normal levels.
Starting point is 01:30:23 Technically, to the medical field, it is. But the thing is, if that's not normal to you, then that can be a problem. Like, say, me, my testosterone was, like, say, for a while, I was, like, in 400. And then it dipped under 300 at one point while I was living in L.A. Wow. And I fucking, dude, so I was talking to my endocrinologist. And he was like, all right, that's a little weird. Let's get you tested again.
Starting point is 01:30:48 and then it got just a little bit above, a little bit under 400 again. And so he was like, ah, we can't really help you because you just, you're consistently in the normal range. Like you dipped under the normal range for like one time, but we tested you again and you're in normal and I told him everything that I was experiencing. I was like, bro, I, my temperature is fluctuating like crazy, like to the point where I felt like if it was 60 degrees, like in my room in December, it felt like it was probably like 40 degrees. Like my nose was dripping. Or sometimes it felt like it was fucking 80 degrees
Starting point is 01:31:22 when it was 60 degrees. Like my temperature was going crazy. And I guess that's a symptom of your hormones being all fucked up. And I was weak. Like I kept getting my Achilles like injured. It kept re-injuring. All this, all the telltale signs of like, oh, your shit's fucked up. And they're like, there's nothing we can do about it. And I was pretty pissed off until I went to a clinic. And then the guy in the clinic explained to me, he's like, dude. you're fucked up and you need to get on some shit now. Like don't fucking don't listen to these guys because they don't know what the fuck they're talking about.
Starting point is 01:31:54 They're just learning from these books that have just been around. And he's like, your shit is probably supposed to be like three, four hundred points higher. And this is probably why you feel like this. And I was like, that makes a lot of sense. And then I got boosted. And hey, what do you know?
Starting point is 01:32:09 I don't feel like absolute shit anymore. And what a fucking coincidence. Like I'm not hulking with muscle because I didn't fucking get some goddamn awesome steroids, but I got my levels back to normal and I'm not like freaking out or I'm not fucking my temperatures and fluctuate when I create.
Starting point is 01:32:27 It's nuts, dude. So I told some people like, hey, there was a guy that placed Call a Duty. He's a YouTuber. I don't remember his name. But because there was, do you know this guy named Britt Bong? Have you heard of him?
Starting point is 01:32:41 He's like some guy that like trolls, people or docs, we believe. I've heard the way. I've heard the word Brit bong. I don't know if it's the person. I thought it was, I thought I thought Britbong was just like a general kind of like insult for British people. Oh,
Starting point is 01:32:55 maybe, but like there's a there was a guy named it. A British, yeah, guy named that. And he's done a lot of terrible things, doxing and stuff. He's had beef with Keemstar.
Starting point is 01:33:04 And, um, and, yeah. And, uh, this guy, um,
Starting point is 01:33:10 he was, I think, I think I'm mixing shit up. It's just another stream. somebody streamed a guy coming to this guy's house. Like there was a guy like it pulled up into somebody's house and he had a gun in his fucking glove compartment of his car and stuff like that. It was crazy. I'm probably getting some people mixed up.
Starting point is 01:33:29 There was a guy, his name's Eight Thoughts. I'm sorry. Eight Thoughts was streaming a guy going to another guy's house. And the guy's house was this call a duty YouTuber. And he was dealing with all this stress and all this other fucked up shit. And because of it, his fucking testosterone levels plummeted and he had to get like some shit done with it and he was saying some stuff because somebody told me success starts with your drive and american public university is here to fuel it with affordable tuition and over 200 flexible online programs APU helps you gain the skills

Starting point is 01:35:18 Thanks for having me. Visit furtherpeople.com for an office near you. When I talked about some shit that was happening to me, somebody's like, hey, man, check out this video. You might be experiencing the same shit. And then it was like, oh, I think my levels are fucked up. Like, this kind of proves it. But long story short, yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:34 That house in L.A., like in L.A. in general, I think it just fucking, it damned near murdered me. That was an awful experience living there. I hate L.A. with all my heart. Like, I really genuinely, the driving everything. Oh yeah. Yeah. Traveling traveling is a mess.
Starting point is 01:35:52 Like Los Angeles, I hate the city like with a awful. With just a really just a really burning passion. Like it really is just fucking terrible. And it's weird because like I look I like there are places around it that I like quite a bit.
Starting point is 01:36:08 Like I like I like most of the places that I've lived but like I've never lived in L. because I don't think I ever would would do that because it's a bitch to get to it's a bitch to get out it's just
Starting point is 01:36:23 it's just dirty it's hot it's like I don't know man like I enjoyed Burbank and like Glendale Glendale a little bit lesser but like you know they were like totally fine places to live they're not too bad those areas aren't too bad at all like being above above the city of L.A
Starting point is 01:36:40 is like because L.A. the city Hollywood and below is fucking a dumpster. It really is. It's fucking gross. It sucks. It's astonishing how bad it is.
Starting point is 01:36:52 It's just the, it's really ugly too. Like, it's like, I don't know, like, there are certain parts of it. They're just like, how the fuck did this get here? Like this. Yeah. I remember one of my first days, one of my first days when I moved out out there. It was, it was in 2015. And I was Ubering home from a party.
Starting point is 01:37:12 I was very drunk. I was Ubering home and we stop at this light and I turned to my right and just on the off ramp, we're about to like turn onto like, you know, a ramp onto a highway or whatever the fuck. And there's a shopping cart by itself completely on fire. Like just like covered in presuming, like every part of it was ablaze. Like it wasn't like, oh, the handle was on fire. Like there was something in it that was on fire. It was just the fucking thing.
Starting point is 01:37:46 And I remember being like, that is something I have never seen in my entire fucking life. And now I have. It's a very strange place. And it's, it's, look, and I'll tell you, the last time I was in downtown LA, I went to eat at this place called the pantry, the original pantry. It's a pretty good breakfast diner. And right outside of it, the car, I ran over a cone or something. And for some reason, the car was on fire. right outside of it
Starting point is 01:38:15 and just like how does this even happen it was just like a cone and then I then the thing that I saw the weirdest thing I saw was a cop was right down the street just drove right past the fucking scene just didn't even give didn't even want to see it the people were okay
Starting point is 01:38:32 or anything the cop just didn't even stop he was just like I don't fucking care about this shit and then there were people fighting outside of it I think some people that got out of the car and some I think I have a little bit of it recorded on my phone. Yeah. Because it was one of those things where I'm like, like this, I fucking hate this place.
Starting point is 01:38:50 Like people don't understand. If you, if you don't have to go to L.A., don't. That's all I'm going to say. Yeah. Like if there's not something taking place in L.A., cool. You know, like, go ahead. Go if you have to go to something. If you're just like, I kind of want to just go to, don't.
Starting point is 01:39:07 Don't just like, don't go. There's some other shit. Go to go. Just go. Go. Go anywhere. Anywhere else. Anywhere else.
Starting point is 01:39:17 And if you absolutely have to, stay out of the city. Stay out of the main city. Like, stay out of, if your address ends in, um, you know, Los Angeles, don't, don't stay at that address. Don't stay at that address. If you could say like, hey, if you want to, if you, if you can live in like Pasadena or whatever, like, sure. But like, fucking dude. Like, avoid it like the plague for real. All right.
