Starting point is 00:00:54 especially since most news outlets are financially incentivized to get clicks. I've never been a clickbait victim. myself, but many of you have, I'm sure. You are, after all, not gods like me. Because those news outlets value clicks more than the actual news stories, you're constantly being served content that you like and agree with, which totally defeats the purpose of news. Thankfully, Ground News has a solution. Ground News is a website and app where you can easily compare how news stories are covered across the political spectrum. I can easily swipe between different articles on the same news story and identify things like inconsistencies and exaggerations,
Starting point is 00:01:26 to come to my own unbiased conclusion. Best of all, with Ground News, your browsing history is never used to serve you news stories. They actually make a point to send you articles that you normally wouldn't see.

Starting point is 00:01:57 Okay. I need you to say something, bud. It's a podcast. Bebop-pap-b-b-b-b-d-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-bbbbbbbbb. Is he? Yeah, he's a dead man. He's a scat-man. He's absolutely dead. Scatman is absolutely dead. Skatman's a past tense, brother. He, he, bopped and scattered right out of this existence like 10 years ago, I think. She just aged and died.
Starting point is 00:02:41 Yeah, that's what happens. Derek, that's what happened. I could have sworn I saw him in concert before the pandemic. know you would have seen him like do some weird thing on netflix if he was still around you know yeah is he i i thought like world of scat featuring scatman that sounds it's kind of sketchy yeah scatman died a long time ago he didn't die he did like he died like 97 bro like 99 no fucking way dude yes scatman john he died in literally scat man dead oh shit he died in 1999 he died in 1999 He's been gone for a while.
Starting point is 00:03:20 He retired a long time ago. The fact that you said you think you saw him like 10 years ago blows my mind because he's been gone almost as long as I've been here. So you're telling me that fucking alley that I went through that I passed through in downtown L.A. That was not him. You tell me when I want to like this dude putting on a show in this alleyway. There's just kind of a few streets over to Skid Row. Like, I just thought maybe he was doing like a special fucking jazz club show or something.
Starting point is 00:03:50 No. You knock on the door and then or something like that. No. I don't know. Who the fuck I saw in? I think I was a man impersonating him at best. Yeah. It's a lucrative business impersonating scatman John in 2020, 2020.
Starting point is 00:04:04 I guess it makes a little bit of sense because that guy like smelled terrible and fucking he had no clothes on. So I don't know. I just thought like, I just thought the famous scatman John would be caught outside in that fucking looking. looking like that. You're just, you're remarkable. Hey, whatever. He was good. It was a good show.
Starting point is 00:04:21 Nonetheless, it was a good show. Anyway, welcome to the Snartank podcast. Thanks for tuning in. God. We are supported by you, the viewer, so please go over to patreon.com slash a Snartank. If you want to toss us a dollar our way, you get early episodes that way.
Starting point is 00:04:40 And yeah, so we've got a couple things to talk about that aren't Scatman related. I'm going to throw this over to Sweeney, mainly because he's the resident Superman nerd and the resident comic book person. But right now, there is a bit of a hubbub over on Twitter because there is, I think, and I might be wrong here,
Starting point is 00:05:08 but I think there's a new comic book out that details the life of, like, the son of Superman. and it turns out that he is a bisexual and that is a big deal. He is evil in the eyes of the Lord. He must be dealt with swiftly. He's just kissing another boy. Get over it, man.
Starting point is 00:05:32 Yeah, but you have, but those guys, you have to respect those greasy dudes with the giant beards, you know, that make the click bait fucking video. You have to respect them. You know, they're so angry. It's nothing wrong. There's a content creator named for his name. His name is he's a black man and he's a very conservative dude.
Starting point is 00:05:54 He likes comics and stuff like that. I think his name is Murd-Modrilla. It's like one of those dumb stupid nigger names that like you get like you get from like B and a shout of somebody when you're seven and you get up being like, yeah, my name is R driller with like a V, a Z and an A or some shit. Like him, he's always so upset. about like the he calls it pandering
Starting point is 00:06:15 the pandering of characters changing and being not just white men anymore is he like the black quartering is that you're talking he's sort of like the quartering he's sort of the quartering makes me sick
Starting point is 00:06:28 bro oh my god bro but he's like he's just like he's very conservative he also had a video about like why minimum wage is a bad idea and I watched the whole video so I could understand if he had a point and he doesn't He's just a fucking idiot.
Starting point is 00:06:44 But, and there's just, people like them are just so angry about change. But it's, it's just, he's just bisexual, guys. I think they're angry about nothing, really, because I was reading through comments of like, you know, the announcements and shit you see on Twitter and seeing what's the whole hubup. Why are people so angry? And it's usually, oh, why can't they just, you know, I'm, I'm only interested in the characters being heroic. Like, why do I need to know about their sexualities? And when I hear that shit, I'm like,
Starting point is 00:07:16 I, there is so little media you can consume without love interest. I really can't think of very many. Yeah. That's the same thing because that is, the reason why Spider-Man has persisted to be the most famous character is because his whole life is a part of who he is. It's because he's a white, heterol-sist male. Well, that is definitely probably the reason why he got on.
Starting point is 00:07:44 That probably helped him get off on a right foot. It definitely helps. Let's be real. Let's get out. But like, the reason why, like, we have argued us over and over again. And my opinion still saying is that, like, he's, because it's like, his design and who he was at first definitely helped him break onto the scene. But his character moments, him being Peter Parker and Spider-Man so much, his love interest. Like, have you all seen Black Cat?
Starting point is 00:08:09 Like, come on. Come on. We've seen her. We have seen her. That is single-handedly one of the reasons why he's still a great character is because he fucked that, bro. Like, all those things matter into making a great character. But for some reason, people are like, oh, no, he's gay, that's a problem.
Starting point is 00:08:31 It's like, bro. I think it's just because there's just not a lot of, uh, yeah, I think it's because it's Superman related and it's a gay person. Yeah. A lot of the very American-Americans are like... Everybody's trying to dance around the subject. It literally just has to do with this dude kissing a dude. Yeah. That's just...
Starting point is 00:08:49 It's literally just a gay person. Or, well, a bi person in this case, I think, I guess. I don't know. Yeah, he's bi. My people are just gay, though, are they? Well, that's... Let's not get into that. That's not true at all.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Let's not... Wait, wait, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. How is that not true at all? I'm not saying they're only gay, but they are gay, but they are gay. They're homosexual. They're like half gay. No. No.
Starting point is 00:09:10 If you want to be, if you want to be literal, like, look, to society, Sweeney, what you're saying is, which is an ignorant thing to say that, like, say, hell yeah, it is. Well, let me explain why it is. No, no, no, no, no. Let me, let me champion bisexuals, all right. Can I, can I, can I, can I, say, my mother, my mother. No, no, no, no, because my mom is bisexual, okay? Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:33 Like, what I mean, just because she, you know, likes girls or women. It doesn't mean she's just like, oh, she's just gay. I'm like, no, because gay is an exclusive term. Glade, you exclusively like this. Exactly, though. What the hell are you talking about? Homosexual means you are attracted to the same sex. It does not say exclusively.
Starting point is 00:09:54 It is not to do it exclusively being attracted to the same sex. No, it is an exclusive thing. That's why different terms exist, like bisexual. No, but bisexual encapsulates when you are both. And a heterosexual means you're the other side. But you for bisexual doesn't cap because no literally because if you look at homosexual definition Hold on hold on hold on hold on It says that let's not complicate the audio spectrum here
Starting point is 00:10:16 But also this you you've just you're off the you're off the lot man Like this makes no sense what you're saying Heterosexual if you are a heterosexual that means you are not gay Yes that's the other which means you are not interested in the same sex When you are homosexual, that means you are not interested in the opposite sex. That's what that means. That's what that means. I'm looking up the definition for it right now.
Starting point is 00:10:48 Oh, my God. By actual definition, that adjective homosexual of a person sexually attracted to people of their own sex. It does not claim anything about exclusivity. But the point, but look up. Hold on. That is the point. the point of the fucking word. It does not say solely. It does not.
Starting point is 00:11:09 It doesn't need to. But that's, it doesn't need to say it. So if I say, so if I say someone is homosexual, and I'm referring to the fact that they are bisexual, by definition, I am correct.
Starting point is 00:11:22 Oh my God. They would be offended. They would be offended because they would say, no. I've said that. I've said that and no one's been offended. No, it's not about, I just know that you guys know what the word mean. It's not about, no, shut up, shut up.
Starting point is 00:11:32 It's not about offending anybody. somebody's going to be really offended by that. I don't think that's like... Some people are, dude. Some people, but some people get offended by everything. There's a very common joke that like, oh, you're bisexual, oh, you're half gay. That's like a joke, but it's not like literally actually true because these words imply exclusivity. That's why bisexual exists.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Exactly. There would be no need for the term bisexual. There would be no need for it. What I'm saying is the term bisexual... Okay, and look, and I'm going to, I'm going to voice this right now. If I'm offending anybody, this is me just simply going off the terms of I'm reading a word and I've read this word before and it means, and for me, when I look at something, it's like, oh, it doesn't say that so it doesn't include that. I'm sorry from offending anybody that that defines themselves as solely anything. This is me like beforehand, if I'm offended anybody. It's not offensive.
Starting point is 00:12:28 It's just incorrect. It's just wrong. The reason why I say it's offensive is because there are some groups that want to act like bisexuality doesn't exist. Oh yeah, I get that. That's very true. But I have a ton of friends who are bisexual and from the gay community they get ostracized because it's like, ah, you're not exactly gay. You know, like, you don't, you're a pretender. Yeah. You're like a, like there's a whole thing and that's why I feel like people who were
Starting point is 00:12:53 genuinely bisexual, they're like, like, say, well, I say like my mother, who has been with a woman, she was with a woman for 20 years. She married my dad before and all this stuff where she actually. actually has genuine feelings on wherever, I would say genuinely that's someone who's not fucking around, right? And to say that she's just like, oh, well, you're exclusively gay. She'd be like, no. Like, oh, you're gay. I'm like, well, no, I'm not gay.
Starting point is 00:13:18 I'm not saying exclusivity. I'm saying like, oh, but I'm just saying like, oh, if I were to affirm the term homosexual does also categorize people who are bisexual. But bisexual is a better way to defining what they are. Like the best way to define someone who is bisexual is the word bisexual. But homosexual does also encapsulate. Does heterosexual also apply? I don't know. I feel like how would it not?
Starting point is 00:13:44 But I feel like heterosexual implies exclusive. Why? Why the fuck would? Why would that and not being homosexual? Success starts with your drive.

Starting point is 00:14:56 Because they're not the same word. They're literally the same. What would you call sexually attracted to a person who of the opposite sex? Yes, and what is heterosexual? Homo is the same sex and then hetero is opposite sex. But what is the difference? It is explaining to you this is one lane and this is another lane. That's all it's telling you.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Yeah, literally. It's left, right, and middle. Literally. That's basically the whole thing. It's not that complicated. It's pretty simple. All right. You really complicated it for yourself.
Starting point is 00:15:25 I don't know why. I'm not complicated for myself. I'm just thinking like those are, These are better ways to define things. It's just weird that you, it's just weird that you think that, like, or that you thought, I don't know if your mind is different now. But, like, the idea that, like, hetero implies exclusivity, but homo doesn't. Like, I just don't, I just don't understand that reasoning. Because I see it as this.
Starting point is 00:15:44 Like, there's, you can define somebody as a homosexual man or homosexual woman, right? And that means that they are gay. They, they are just simply attracted to men or women, them being men or women, right? But then when you say heterosexual, you're like, oh, this person is attracted to the opposite sex. And then the term bisexual, people who are attracted to both. Right. So you understand. But both of those words can define people who are bisexual.
Starting point is 00:16:16 But they have the word bisexual that just does it both. It's like, oh, it just does both of these for me because I'm on both sides. Because those words imply exclusivity. That's why bisexual exists. No, I don't even think it explicitly. I don't even think it particularly. Impleastic toxicity. I just think that like, oh, there's a word that encapsulates.
Starting point is 00:16:32 It must. It's like, it's like the idea of this. Like there's lions and there's tigers, right? You can say like, oh, then there's a gay bear. No, no, no, no. No, they're like, oh, that's a lie. That is a half lion half tiger. It's a lion and a tiger.
Starting point is 00:16:48 No, it's not. But it is. But no one calls it that though. It's a lyger. It's a lyger. They would say, no, no, no, no. No one, no. No one's called a liger.
Starting point is 00:16:58 No one says that because there's a word that describes exactly what it is in both sense. Right. Right. But a Liger is a lion and a Liger is also a tiger. You've- It is. Kingston, you're,
Starting point is 00:17:10 that's so wrong. How is that wrong? If something, if you, okay, let's say what's called it. I am black and I am white, right?
Starting point is 00:17:19 You are a black man and you are also a white man. But the word biracial exists to encapsulate what you are. Black people and white people aren't different. species. You're talking about two different species. I understand what he's saying. I still understand what he's saying. But nobody still, when do you see, when do you see fucking Drake or anybody say, hey, how's it going? I'm white black. Like, when nobody, you're just saying shit that nobody says, dude.
Starting point is 00:17:46 You're going deeper down this rabbit hole of unnecessarity. I'm just saying that the words, there are words that can be used for both sense of like a thing. If things are more than one parts, It can be used as both, but if it's a compound, you can use whatever phrase that defines it as a compound thing. But a Liger is exclusively a Liger. It's not a lion. It's not a tiger. It's both of them mixed into forming a specific thing.
Starting point is 00:18:14 But it's literally two things, though. Oh, my God. It came from two things. It came from two things. And it became something else. And now it's its own classification. But it's still of the two things. It is still a lion and a thing.
Starting point is 00:18:27 and a tiger. It's both of those things. It just has a name for it being both those things the same time. You're not going to say a lion tiger or a tiger lion because there's a word that's like. I'll say, I'll say, hold on,
Starting point is 00:18:40 hold on. Oxygen, hydrogen. All right. Yes. You put two hydrogen and oxygen. It becomes fucking water. But nobody calls a hydrogen oxygen.
Starting point is 00:18:49 What are you talking about? Dude, it's fucking water. What are you talking about? We created a new fucking phrase because this is what it is now. Derek, This is what it is. This is like heterosexuality and homosexuality.
Starting point is 00:19:00 These are things that exist. When you mash them together, it is its own entity. It's pretty fucking simple, dude. I'm not going to argue this anymore. I'm going to wait for people in the comments to say whatever they are. Yeah, and they're going to throttle you this time. They're not. They're not because I'm not wrong exactly.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Everybody. I'll say this as, I like to think I have a pretty firm grasp on English. It was like the one thing. Like, perfect on the SATs. I fucked math up entirely, so I think I know what I'm talking about when it comes to language. I think you're wrong.
Starting point is 00:19:30 We'll let the audience decide. That is a wild argument that I was not expected. We were talking about Superman, bro. We were just talking about Superman, dude. I forgot. Fucking son of, son of, Cal L.
Starting point is 00:19:46 John. Yeah, John. Wait, it's just John? Yeah. Yeah, what a cool name, right? Clark and John. Cool. What the fuck that.
Starting point is 00:19:53 His dad was named John. His dad was named John. named his son, John. I'd be like John Jr. This bullshit. Get that shit out of you. You're such a dumb bitch. That's such a nice name.
Starting point is 00:20:06 John, that's the most basic name. This is the most basic Anglo-Saxon name or whatever you want to call it. Your name is Derek. His name is Chris. These are basic names galore. The reason why they're basics, they're just simple names to have. So you think you're better than us because just because you're a Kingston, man. Just because you get a kingston, you think you're better than that's a man.
Starting point is 00:20:24 I don't even like my name. But you're in. Salting someone having a basic name when you too my friend have a basic name. Your name is actually kind of dope. What the fuck you're talking about? I don't I don't really particularly like my ex. Let's like pretentious. Calm down. Hey, we're good. Let's just talk about Superman's stupid little half gay son. And then a little half gay. Oh my God. I'm just I'm just trying to encapsulate the the the the like you know the the the quartering types or the the the
Starting point is 00:20:56 according whatever you said his name was i don't i don't know what you said his name was like those people that's so disrespectful you a little half gay person it's like yo calm down i don't i really i really i really do think people only have a problem with it because it's it's gay and they're not used to seeing that that's it because like if i don't know also here's the thing like it's weird being in the in the position that I am because I feel like on some level I kind of understand only because I remember when like if it was just Superman like actually like Clark Kent and they were just like oh by the way he's just arbitrarily like by now I don't think I would be upset really because I don't care but I would be like why you doing that like that's a little
Starting point is 00:21:48 fucking weird, and I don't understand the purpose of that at all. I always prefer it when, like, you're able to make a new character. Like, instead of just being like, hey, Peter Parker is a, you know, Puerto Rican black, gay child, or by child, instead just making Miles Morales, you know,
Starting point is 00:22:08 and instead just, like, making new characters to fulfill that role, instead of just like, kind of just mangling this other thing to fit something that it wasn't really meant for in the first place. I understand that criticism, But that criticism can't apply here because this is a new character. This isn't, and as far as I know, I could be wrong. I don't think there's ever been a John Superman son. I could be wrong.
Starting point is 00:22:29 John's, there's, John has been around for like, success starts with your drive. An American public university is here to fuel it. With affordable tuition and over 200 flexible online programs, APU helps you gain the skills and confidence to move forward. Whether you're changing careers, starting fresh or pursuing a lifelong passion. Our programs are designed for people who never stop.
Starting point is 00:22:54 You bring the fire, APU will fuel the journey. Learn more at APU.APUS.edu. I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan. Hey, how's it going today? It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I'm Dan Morgan.
Starting point is 00:23:13 I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan and Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I saw billboarded years recently. It said 20 billion one. 20 billion is an insane number. Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and badder and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. That's pound 529 from your cell phone.
Starting point is 00:23:49 phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7, 365. Wow. Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's Large Injury Law, from, thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit furtherpeople.com for an office near you. He's not new, like brand new, but he's been around for like four or five years. That's pretty fucking new. The whole prior, he was a child. He was literally a little kid. And he was like, he, so some bullshit that Bendis wrote, he got aged up into a teenager. And now he's like a teenager. And he's exploring sexuality. People are like, oh, I don't like this. It's like, well,
Starting point is 00:24:21 Superman was gay. If they'd just out of the blue made Superman gay, I would get it. I would get like, all right, that's kind of bullshit. Superman's never been gay, you know? I mean, I'd be honest, it'd be kind of funny. It would be funny. It'd be funny, but it'd be like, why'd you do that? It would be very purposeless.
Starting point is 00:24:37 And that, that I would agree would be actual kind of pandering to some degree, because it's just like, what do you really like, do you really neat? Like, it's like, black panther is white now. It's like, what? It's just weird Like you don't need that
Starting point is 00:24:51 I think I think black antler being white would be That would be a problematic Right Because it's like Yeah Because like Superman I guess Superman does very much
Starting point is 00:25:02 So like It's like the white American hero So is Captain America Because when they made Sam Muslim Captain America in the comics People were not happy On the forums I saw words that I was like
Starting point is 00:25:14 Yo Chill But that's stupid though Like that's like, I don't know. To me, the mantle of a hero is fine. It's just like you, you can toss the moniker Spider-Man around to like whoever the fuck you want. We already have like super, we already have like a bunch of other Spider-Men. There's like Ben Riley and like, who's the 299, Miguel O'Hara?
Starting point is 00:25:38 There's a bunch of Spider-Man. Yeah, there's a bunch of Spider-Man. And I think that's awesome. I think that's cool. I think that's fine. I think there can be also, like, this isn't exactly the same thing. but you know it's like I think there could be many Superman or many or many
Starting point is 00:25:51 Batman or there are multiple Batman so it's like fucking whatever who cares I want them all gay all of them every single one of them just a bad orgy I want them all now like at this point at this point just to just too because like I agree with everything you guys are saying
Starting point is 00:26:07 but just to like spite some of these fucking idiots just for like one run just make the everyone gay, bisexual, whatever. And, like, they're not even fighting crime. They're just literally fucking each other. Would it be weird?
Starting point is 00:26:22 Oh, my God. That would be so fucking... Because you imagine just buying that comic. It's like in the middle of a regular run, too. It's a regular comic in a middle of a run, like Batman, volume six, issue seven. You open it up and Dick Grayson's pounding the fuck out of boots. And you're like, what? That would be...
Starting point is 00:26:41 You know, it's funny, too. That would be offensive to literally everybody. Because the right-wing people... will be like, why are you making these characters gay all of a sudden? And the gay people will be like, what the fuck are you just like portraying us like these these fucking deviant? It's like that it's like that Netflix show that was like Q-Force or something that was just about like that gay secret agent team and the whole premise is just that they're just
Starting point is 00:27:05 horny degenerates. And it's like this animated thing. It really is like I saw a lot of people like gay people on Twitter being like this is fucking embarrassing. Why is this real? It's really bad. It's terrible. I've never heard of this.
Starting point is 00:27:16 Two force? It's a rough. Is it like queer force? What is that? I think so. I think that's the idea, yeah. But it's just like, it's just, it's so fucking, like, it's like, that is a show that right wingers would imagine exists in like a purely gay world, like just something that's
Starting point is 00:27:38 just so fucking dumb. It's like a stereotype of a show. It's, it really is insane. This is why we can't have them doing anything. We got to get rid of them because all they do is fuck and be heathens all the little on day. Man, that's crazy. Look at they made a show called Niga for us. And it was this black men in like fucking Jordan just running around selling drugs and like destroying people and fucking.
Starting point is 00:28:08 It's like, bro, this is not exactly. That shit would be crazy. Yeah, it's like that's not. But you know what's fucked up, though? That's not the entire fucking cue. That's like maybe like a... I'd watch it. I'd have to watch it, real.
Starting point is 00:28:18 I'd have to fucking watch it. That's the fucked up thing. That's what's fucked up. I would watch it. I would watch it and I wouldn't tell anyone and I would tell Lily. And I'd be like, is this make me bad? And she'd be like, yeah, then she would fade away because she's not real. I was about to say.
Starting point is 00:28:33 I was like, who's Lily? Stop. Oh, man. I don't know. I didn't somebody else, there was one other person, like Tim Drake or something One of the one of the one of the one of the one of the robins I think is bisexual as well I don't know if you guys heard of that I think I think it's Tim I think ten is
Starting point is 00:28:53 I think just recently something like that happened to so I think this is what The it's scaring you know the people on the right like it's the the gay agenda has begun or something Because there's a couple of my characters it makes sense it makes sense that If there's a gay agenda it began like in the 90s when they were like making like gay like gay like fashion shows and like when when the gay people were like the most beautiful people on the planet like fucking um i forgot how to come from my friend a few days ago are like these the people that were like air quotes the feminine looking guys was the most attractive to people oh like or Orlando bloom and stuff yeah and i'm just like it's dude the agenda it's not here but if it was it's too late
Starting point is 00:29:34 your daughter probably likes those kind of guys it's too late it's too late bro that dude those fucking uh like the the music genres like the the scene stuff and like email and all that shit oh yeah like that was the guy that was the shit to me because i was i was a part of that music scene and i remember growing up with some dudes that i'm like what are you doing like to the point where uh this this dude paul like he uh we're at the movie theater and this old dude bumped into him's like oh excuse me ma'am you know like because he just looks so beautiful His hair is so perfect and fucking makeup and shit. I'm just like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:14 You see that a lot on, you see that a lot on TikTok too, like really like androgynous, like kind of. Like, oh, you're like a pretty boy. Weird. Yeah. That's what I think about. That's what I think about, this is going to sound super racist. But like, when it comes to like anime and like sort of like sometimes Asian cultures, the male characters look really pretty like girls.
Starting point is 00:30:37 Yeah. You tell me me most of the time doesn't look like a girl a little bit? like he looks really feminine he looks pretty he looks yeah and all the all the
Starting point is 00:30:45 all the characters that look extensively like really explicitly like men are kind of like ugly and gross yeah
Starting point is 00:30:51 they are literally yeah yeah that is interesting anyway I don't know Superman Superman's son
Starting point is 00:30:58 is half gay whatever yeah nobody fucking really cares like I can't I can't even imagine
Starting point is 00:31:05 slightly caring what is interesting though is uh they're some news that we might have caught the zodiac killer.
Starting point is 00:31:16 Ted Cruz is behind bars. Finally. Wait, wait, wait, time. His name is Ted Cruz. No, no, no. I was like, I was like, his name actually is Ted Cruz. No, do you remember back? You remember back that whole name?
Starting point is 00:31:31 That's, I get it. That's why I was like, bro. Oh, you thought. Whoever made that meme was on to something. It's funny. They knew shit. It's funny. too because like that uh i remember when that joke that joke was funny for a time and then i i remember the day
Starting point is 00:31:45 it got absolutely murdered because i think there was uh there was like a white house correspondence dinner and that what's that that black dude on comedy central he's like larry wilmore or larry whitmore or something he's like a bald guy of glasses larry wilmore wilmar yeah right yeah he had like this show on comedy central yeah and he went to this white house correspondence dinner and two Ted Cruz directly he made like seven Zodiac killer jokes like in a row
Starting point is 00:32:15 and it was like this is like I can't even express how quickly it became just like not funny not even necessarily because it was like in person and like because I like people who are like you know like Norm MacDonald doing the OJ jokes and stuff like that like those were funny
Starting point is 00:32:33 but like something about him just delivering it the same every single time and just like looking at Ted Cruz every time. It was just like, ah, this is so it felt like pandering to the internet and it just killed that meme entirely. It was like for real.
Starting point is 00:32:50 I am. But they caught him. They caught the Zodiac killer. He's dead though. He's been dead for a few years. Ladies and gentlemen, we got him. I don't care, man. You don't care? How did they catch this guy? How do they suspect they caught him? So I guess apparently this independent
Starting point is 00:33:06 journalist journalism group it's made up of like ex-military ex-police and just like freelance journalists and I think actual journalists as well they've been kind of on the hunt for this dude for a long time and I guess something surfaced where
Starting point is 00:33:23 I think there was like a story given by somebody who lived with this guy a long time ago where he lined up with something and then it turns out that like his full name is necessary to decode the zodiac messages or whatever and apparently like they started making sense the second like you found out this guy's full name
Starting point is 00:33:42 but what's and and keep in mind this is like this is not necessarily confirmed it's just highly like probable like it could very well be true but what's fucking hilarious and what convinces me
Starting point is 00:33:56 most about it is that the dude this dude his name is Gary by the way what a fucking lame What a killer. Gary. Gary. Gary, you killed her, Gary. Gary, get that knife out of her throat, Gary. But this dude had an internet presence. And the reviews he would leave for shit are hilarious.
Starting point is 00:34:20 Like, he left a review on, like, some Ted Bundy documentary that was like, Ted Bundy is overrated and stuff like that. And, like, oh my God, there was another one that cracked me. the fuck up. Oh, he was, like, leaving reviews of, like, Weezer albums, and he was, like, Weezer are a national treasure, much like myself. And just, like, these, like, really cheeky references to the fact that he was, like, a widely known person.
Starting point is 00:34:48 It's fucking so funny, this dude's internet history. He's, like, one of the funniest people I've ever seen. Ted Bundy is overrated one star. That's so fucking weird. Oh, my God. That's crazy to have like an actual killer like alive participating in the modern day internet. Like you don't get to like see that that often. No.
Starting point is 00:35:08 It's pretty cool. Is it just weird? Is it like extremely gross how much people like serial killers? Like the serial killer like the fucking like. What are really cool? What do you mean? They're really, they're really cool. No, it's pretty fucking disgusting, bro.
Starting point is 00:35:25 It's so morbid. Stop. They hate phoneers people get. They're not. I even hate boners. They're facts. They're like, oh my God. It's like, there was, yeah, not the hate boners. I meant like the adoration. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:38 There's, there's, there's a weird. It's weird, bro. It is a girl that um, there was like, kind of, a little before I moved to California, there was this girl that I was like kind of into, you know, after I broke up my, my previous girlfriend. Pretty fucking, you know, I was like, we could two, we two before like I was going to move. And I was like, I'm going to try to sleep with her. And I went to her house.
Starting point is 00:35:55 And we watched fucking like this unsolved murder shit. And I kid. you not, I was never been less attracted to a person immediately in my life. I was like, this is disgusting. Isn't it so interesting how they think? And I was like, no, they're just killing people and trying to make a game of it. It's kind of the most monster shit ever. And they're like, yeah, but like, there's so much like history and like, you know, so much context. And I'm like, oh, man, I'm not fucking. What you're describing, I think, what you're describing is a little, What you're describing is a little different to what I think you pitched this as.
Starting point is 00:36:31 Because there are people who like straight up adore like the Columbine kids, you know, like, and it were just like they had crush it or like would call serial killers in prison because they like were infatuated with them. Somebody who's just somebody. Well, that's the top level. Just below that. That's that's like when your evolution is finally, you have like a golden ore around you. What I'm explaining now was like level two at best, whereas it's like this man is a killer and it is. interests you and that's strange to me.
Starting point is 00:36:59 I don't know. I don't like killers. Like, I'm interested in like fucking like, I don't know what people are like cool to me. I don't know. Sometimes. Like what cops are supposed to be.
Starting point is 00:37:09 Like that interests me. Yeah. So I don't know. Sometimes those things can be like really like fat. Like some of them are fucking really like windy and weird. And like did you ever see there's one that's like it's not a true crime thing necessarily. It's just this incredible case of like. this dude who was like framed for a murder or something and he was like arrested and he was
Starting point is 00:37:32 exonerated because they found out that during the crime or during the murder or whatever he was actually in the background of a curb your enthusiasm episode. That's fucking wild. It's real. Like I can't somebody in the comments or in on the Patreon like they you have to let me know what this is or maybe Kyle knows what this is and maybe he can flashed. it up on screen, but it is crazy that story. I get what you mean.
Starting point is 00:38:02 That is fascinating because like the cases are fascinating. It's just, because it's just a series of like, you know, what the fuck's going on? But the fascinating for the serial killer, the person that is committing these deaths. Yeah. Yeah. That's the weird shit is weird. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Ted Bunnies the shit. Oh, John Wayne, all this stuff. Like they're all, they're like weirdos where the, and then they classify them and who's the spookiest and all this shit. I'm like, I like the tales. Like, I follow this Irish guy, that chapter. And then he's like a true crime guy or whatever. And the stories are fascinating.
Starting point is 00:38:35 But once that story's over, I don't give a fuck about who did what, you know. It's like there was that guy, Chris Watts. That was really Chris Regan Watts. Like, who did like that? Like, that was, that one's really fucking fascinating, especially because the body cam footage they have. It's like a really interesting story. But I'm not like checking up.
Starting point is 00:38:55 Like, what's Chris Watts up to? What does he think about, you know what I'm like? Yeah, yeah, he's not Chris Chan, you know? Like the fact that people called like people like fucking murder. Like, yo, if my daughter did that, I'm stripping her of her name, bro. Like a fucking, like something, like a dragon's going to come out the floor and grab her and it's going to be like, you have lost your last name. And I'm going to cast her away.
Starting point is 00:39:19 I can't have some related to me doing shit like that. It is weird that women just like true crime shit, like more than anyone. Like, I don't understand. It's very common in a particular kind of woman. It's such a, like, to me, it's almost such an oxymoron because, you know, women, it's like, are women, a lot of women are, like, say, they fear what, like, what men are capable of doing. Well, that's why. They're watching all these fucking murder shows. However, there's a lot of those women that are kind of into it for that reason.
Starting point is 00:39:53 Or it's like they fantasize about. about being ravaged or whatever. It's why those fucking, those crazy books, those romance books, and then why, what was the one that got so big? 50 shades of gay or whatever. Like it just, or it's the new black.
Starting point is 00:40:10 Where's the new, isn't that just? It's about prison. I was wrong. I forgot who somebody, I can't remember who I was talking to, but I was watching that show and then like, oh,
Starting point is 00:40:19 are you still watching that show, cunts in jail? That's so stupid. Dude, that shit killed me, dude. I was like, yeah, that is what that show is. It's just a bunch of pieces of shit women in jail. It's just ladies in jail. It's really shitty women, dude.
Starting point is 00:40:38 I watched like three seasons. And I was like, yo, these girls are the worst. They deserve to be in jail. I watched the whole, I watched the entire season. It wasn't bad. It wasn't a bad show. I actually kind of enjoyed it. Someone should put Demi Lovato in jail.
Starting point is 00:40:53 She needs to go away for a little bit. What is it that she said? You were saying something to be that she said something fucking... What was it? It blew my mind when you said it. I'll back it up just a little bit because... 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
Starting point is 00:41:51 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 insane. number. Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and badder and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. That's pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7, 365. Wow. Dan Morgan, from Morgan and
Starting point is 00:42:32 Morgan, America's large injury law from, thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit furtherpeople.com for an office near you. I used to respect Demi Lovato because I heard about her like her overdosing on like heroin or whatever she was doing, um, opioids or whatever. And she like kind of got a little bit sober, which was kind of cool. It was like, good for her. But then she went on Joe Rogan's podcast and I'm like, I got, I got to listen to this.
Starting point is 00:42:57 And I was like, oh, she's not okay. She's really not okay And then she got into that controversy with a What was it a A Froyo shop? What? Because yeah So she got into a controversy where she was
Starting point is 00:43:13 She put a Froyo shop, a frozen yogurt shop on blast Because they were advertising like I think Sugary stuff or sugar free stuff or whatever It was something and she was saying it was messed up Because it's like antagonized people who have a like or diabetic or whatever she was just kind of championing the wrong thing and everybody was like calmed down and she had to apologize and she didn't really apologize so we all
Starting point is 00:43:40 knew like something's happening so recently she kind of came out saying i think she's a non-binary and people are like okay cool all right and now she's like oh by the way y'all need to stop using the word alien to describe extraterrestrial beings because it's a derogatory term to to immigrants. And I'm like, no, like alien is actually just a, an actual,
Starting point is 00:44:06 in papers, it's, it's just an actual term. It's not derogatory. It means from different country. That's all I mean. Yeah, like it's,
Starting point is 00:44:13 it's, being an alien, because you can be an alien or an illegal alien. It's, it's like one of those things where she is, I'm worried about her.
Starting point is 00:44:23 You know, I'm worried that she's, I'm worried that she's gonna do something so stupid. I don't care what she does to herself. So just to be sure. Yeah. She is against the term alien being used in the context of discussing literal, extraterrestrial beings. Yes.
Starting point is 00:44:47 Okay. Or are we talking about alien in a sense that is defining a person from a different place? Well, you would think she would, that would make more sense to say, hey, could we not call, like, like say Mexican immigrants illegal aliens or something. I've heard that like that's an old. Well see, that's what I'm saying. If she said that, I would be like, okay, I understand where you're coming from. I feel like maybe she meant to say that.
Starting point is 00:45:13 Okay. I don't know because she specified extraterrestrials? Extra. Yes. She, no, no, she didn't. Yes, she did. I have to look this up. I must look this up.
Starting point is 00:45:22 I can't. Is it on the Joe Rogan podcast? No, no, this wasn't on the Joe. This was way later. I was on the Joe Rogan podcast is just showcasing that she's not okay. Like she's had a lot of issues Dude There was a
Starting point is 00:45:34 A childhood chick That would like bully her And she tried calling her Very recently to try to like Get her to apologize and stuff And the chick was just blown away That like holy crap I can't believe you even remember me
Starting point is 00:45:49 And she didn't get to the apology thing Because she was so Taking aback that Dami Lovato Was even talking to her So then Demi was on the Joe Rogan podcast Like yeah like it's still fucking me up like she didn't apologize and all the stuff and it's like dude
Starting point is 00:46:01 do you don't realize who you are do you bro like you you're hurting so bad and it was it was a mess dude i felt fucking this is October 1st on the on the Kelly Clarkson show Kelly Clarkson show i can't believe she has a show I keep forgetting that October 1st 2021 this month
Starting point is 00:46:21 Demi Levato woke up to three extraterrestrial beings in their room and then that's an interview she gave And then the first headline is Demi Lovato says alien is offensive when referring to extraterrestrial. So, yeah, she's actually talking about literal aliens. That is wild, because that is the point of the word almost in colloquial language now. Like, it used to mean just like foreign or whatever.
Starting point is 00:46:45 Now it means, like, you know, beyond foreign. So, like, what the fuck? Does alien just not have a use in... To her? Look, look, either I'm going to call them aliens or I'm going to call him something way weird. They got to make a choice, all right? All right. All right.
Starting point is 00:47:02 You're going to either be an alien or a space N-word. You got to choose. You got to make your choice right now. Oh, my God. Well, you already know my fucking choice, dude. One is way more offense. Dude, I'll never forget this. This is a moment that I saw.
Starting point is 00:47:16 This is a movie that was, I've watched the Revenant, right? And there was this one moment where one of the guys from Revenant called another, one of the Native Americans, a tree N-word. And that is when I realize that word has so much customization ability. You could flip it, you could spin it, you could just add any sort of like noun. You could be a space one. You can be a tree one. You could be a deep sea one.
Starting point is 00:47:44 You could be a sand one. You could be a, a night riding shadow running one. Like it's, it has, it's like, it's like making a lightsaber. You know, like you got the base of the lightsaber, and you just add which thing you want to put into it to come out a different color. It is fantastic, bro. It is really a customizable slur like no other. Like, there's really no other. There's really, I can't think of another slur that really like.
Starting point is 00:48:13 The big F is close, but it's not there. It's still great. It's still a great one, but it's not. The big F. Yeah, that one's more like a MacBook in the sense that it's just like, it's all kind of the same. same. You can get them in like maybe different sizes. Maybe the words like longer. You know, maybe there's something there. But it's, it's ultimately like the same fucking product. But like, the N-word is like Linux, man.
Starting point is 00:48:41 That's just, that could be whatever the fuck you want it to be. It's like open source, bro. Like anything you want to do, you could just do with that. That is an open source slur if there ever was. Arctic. I've heard people get called Arctic N-words. And I kid you not. My body. goes limp because it's so funny because that is the definition of taking back a word right there oh my god anyway uh i guess we could uh move on before we get into question shout out to the n word man shout out to the n word not shout out to my n word shout out to the n word all right perfect Soft A. Before we move on to questions, should mention Metroid Dread a little bit because I, there's no way I'm going to talk about this on the PlayStation show that I do.
Starting point is 00:49:40 I haven't played it. I have it, but I haven't started it up yet because I've been playing Breath of the Wild, but you've been playing it. You were looking forward to it a little bit. It's real good. I have not played a Metroid game in a very, very, very, very long time. Last time I played a Metroid game, it was the DS one, like, that came out with the DS. So it's been a... He was literally the S&S.
Starting point is 00:50:00 Yeah. And I very much enjoyed Super Metroid. It's a great game. Super Metroid's one of my favorite. I think that's one of the best video games that are made. And I think Dread is just phenomenal. It's really, really, really, really, really good. People have had a huge problem with it, though,
Starting point is 00:50:14 because of the fact that it's like $60 and it's a 2D game. If people don't understand that 2D games can still take a bunch of work. Success starts with your drive.

I'm Dan. I'm Dan. Morgan I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan and Morgan which is America's largest injury law firm that's pretty awesome I think I saw billboard of years recently it said 20 billion one 20 million is an insane number yeah 20 billion recovered it's actually I think somewhere north probably closer to 22 23 after this year and each year we get bigger and batter and our army grows so the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on awesome so how
Starting point is 00:51:28 does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan what 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.
Starting point is 00:51:42 Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's Large Injury Law, from thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit furtherpeople.com for an office near you. And I think that's, like, very dumb on the majority of people that say that, because, like, because people are mad because hollow night cost was very cheap. and like it was like $15 at best
Starting point is 00:52:01 but like Metroid dread is like 6,000 people like it shouldn't be $60 I'm like what that's game price you know like especially like from a triple like this is like from a triple A yeah this is this is a whole ass Nintendo always launches their games like super expensive like always
Starting point is 00:52:20 like first party Nintendo is always even when it has no real justification to be like Pokemon is I think still $60 so like Yeah. Pokemon, the game, Pokemon games that, um, the ones that we were when kids when they played, I'm pretty sure if you go to games, I'd be someone have to buy those full price. Yeah, they don't go. Nintendo does not go down in price. Like, I'm pretty sure, like, I'm looking at my shelf right now and I'm looking at like,
Starting point is 00:52:42 like, uh, like Mario Odyssey. I'm fairly certain that Mario Odyssey is close to, if not the same price it was when it came out. And Zelda Breath of the Wild, I would imagine, is also probably closer to $60 than it is to like 10 or 20. So, which is not the case with anybody else. Like, Sony, like, you can get God of War right now. for free, literally, like on the, I think the PS5's, like, PlayStation collection or something,
Starting point is 00:53:04 or you could pay for it for, like, maybe 15, 20 bucks. Nintendo doesn't do that. I'm not surprised that it's 60 bucks, but I haven't read any of the reviews because I just don't want to be, I kind of don't, like, with games like these, like 2D games, I try to go in as blind as possible. But if the complaint is that it shouldn't be $60 because it's a 2D game, I think. that's dumb, but if the complaint is this game doesn't have as much content as other 2D games that sell for much
Starting point is 00:53:36 lower, then I think I can understand. But I don't know if that's actually the case or not, because I haven't actually played it. I don't know. All I know is that it must be pretty good, only judging by me scrolling on my Twitter when normally all I see is just a bunch of bullshit memes and I saw a handful of people saying Metroid Dread is is pretty great and so I'm like, oh, okay. It's really good. I think it's like amazing. I'm looking forward to it. I like I get
Starting point is 00:54:06 why people could potentially be upset because of the fact that Nintendo games just don't drop in price and that shit is infuriating. It's it makes me go crazy because I just don't want to pay full price for every Nintendo game. But also what sucks is another thing is that people already have ROMs of it out. Like that already exists Oh yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:54:27 Fucking That game came out Three days ago Yeah they've already A three-dayed old video game They've already cracked it People have rhymes I'm like how the fuck
Starting point is 00:54:37 First of all how Second of all Shit just chill Just chill out That's crazy That's I just wish They would fucking
Starting point is 00:54:47 I mean They're never gonna do anything But I just wish They just fucking We're like Hey man We're gonna actually start like selling our shit online to other fucking uh entities and uh you know some we'll do
Starting point is 00:55:00 an exclusive deal with fucking epic or steam or some shit they're not going to give a fuck i know they're not going to do it i just wish it would take it would take someone else getting control on Nintendo for that like some other person like a younger person getting control on nintendo and being like yeah we're doing this we're moving this or if they or if the shareholders are not japanese like the vast marriage shareholders are no longer japanese yeah and it'll be like all we're going to do this. I mean, in fairness, man, Nintendo sells a lot.
Starting point is 00:55:31 Like, a lot. Like, Animal Crossing alone has sold such an insane amount that I don't think you could even... It's nowhere near, I don't think it's anywhere near like GTA 5, which is, by the way, also fucking ridiculous. But I think something... I think Animal Crossing just physical copies
Starting point is 00:55:53 outsold like every single PlayStation for exclusive. I think almost not. I think it was close to Last of Us, but that's Last of Us including digital copies. Right. That's what I'm saying. It's like they don't show digital copies. They don't, like they don't show that for some reason. I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:56:13 But that is insane because I got, even I have that game. I have it too. I've played it like maybe for like six hours. I'm trying to. I'm trying to. The game is insane. Yeah. I'm trying to get games on Switch physical,
Starting point is 00:56:28 only because I don't see a point in getting PS5 or Series X games physical, because, like, the whole point is the convenience of being able to load them at any given point and the fact that they have, like, super fast loading. I don't have to put in a disc. But, like, a Switch is, like, you know, there's something, there's something satisfying about, like, loading. Also, what's crazy is that OLED. The OLED came out as well.
Starting point is 00:56:49 Oh, did you end up getting that? Uh, nah, I told us again, I said I was like, there's no point of getting it quite yet. Yeah, it didn't feel... I thought about it, and that was just like, I don't know if this is really... Also, I don't know if OLED is really all that useful for a portable... Like, because OLED is really good, because it lets, like, the dark... Like, the dark parts of the screen actually go dark, like, it shuts off the pixel,
Starting point is 00:57:10 so you get, like, true black instead of just that weird... Like, on old TVs, you would get, like, the kind of, like... The gray where the black would be, and it would be, like, kind of disorienting. But like when you're playing outside or like...

Tell us who you are and what you do. I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan and Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I saw Billboard of years recently. It said 20 billion one. 20 billion is an insane number.
Starting point is 00:58:18 Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. Each year we get bigger and badder and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. That's pound 529 from your cell phone.
Starting point is 00:58:41 We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7-365. Wow. Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's Large Injury Law Firm, thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit for the people.com for an office near you.
Starting point is 00:58:54 in a public place where there's like the sun or like lights beaming. Like I feel like that's not, I feel like it's almost like a dumb decision, but. That's a lot of people said. Like it's, um, the OLED screen is not exactly the most useful in portable mode. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:08 Which is the point of getting it. OLED. That's the point of like buying it. I don't know. I, but OLED technology in general is fantastic. Yeah. I really do think it's like beautiful like.
Starting point is 00:59:18 OLED TV is awesome. I think my monitor is OLED. If I'm not mistaken. And my monitors are fucking. astounding. So, like, I'm really, like, cool. That's really cool. I just don't I just don't see the reason to buy a console
Starting point is 00:59:32 like the Switch without it genuinely upgrading. Yeah, for sure. Like, if there was an upgrade in a switch that got it to like 1080p or like 1440 easily, I would buy that shit in a heartbeat. We'll see we'll see how that fucking PC Switch thing does, the
Starting point is 00:59:48 fucking Steam deck or whatever. It's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna fuck house and Nintendo's gonna be like, damn. Because you can emulate anything on that bitch It's really crazy You could probably emulate Metroid Dred Way better than you can on a fucking switch
Starting point is 01:00:00 So Doesn't that bother me If Dred was on any other console It would look on bully Because it already looks really good on the switch Could you imagine smashing like a fucking console I can really like support it You know how much more
Starting point is 01:00:14 You know how much better The online community would be the world Like it would just be a better Form of Smash Bros And it's just like oh But we're on Nintendo and like... Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:25 It is kind of funny in that way because I feel like Smash Brothers is really the only thing. Because I feel like every other game, it's like, like Zelda is stronger because it's exclusive to Nintendo. And like Mario, I think, is stronger because it's exclusive to Nintendo.
Starting point is 01:00:44 But Smash Brothers is one of those things that I think is held... It's like one of the only things I think that is held back genuinely by the fact that it just can't be on everything. Like that thing... That game, would take over the fucking world, I think, if it was, if you could, if people could play it on
Starting point is 01:00:59 PC and stream it and, or if people could just play it on Xbox Live or PlayStation Network, that would be insane. Like, it would be a highly played game. But it'd be, it'd be a way better ecosystem. It'd be way better for the fighting game ecosystem. But, like, I think everything is, like, not to sound like a Nintendo hater, but I think everything is held back on it because there's so many, like, if Beth of Wawa was on PS4, you know how much shit they could have put into that game, into that world?
Starting point is 01:01:23 and how full that world could have been it could have been like genuinely like unbelievable think of all the detail that's in like Ghost and Horizon yeah I mean I think they styled that game let's do this with Zelda let's just do they definitely styled it well but like think of how much more it could
Starting point is 01:01:39 how much better it could run period yep I guess so sex scenes I guess we're just I guess we can uh sex scenes and all that shit you get a really realistic dick on every single fucking wildlife in Breath of the Wild. Like an unbelievably realistic penis on everything, dude.
Starting point is 01:02:00 All right, let's move on to some audience inquiries and questions. Usually we do this by topic, but I think I'm going to start with some random general questions that don't really fit into anything because some of these are pretty amusing. Zero or it's zero, but with an X. I'm pretty sure I'm saying that right. Rod in and he said, not a question, but Chris, your powers to bullshit things. into existence has brought back Tricks yogurt. Will you bring a big titty goth girl into my life next, please?
Starting point is 01:02:30 Wait, Tricks is back? Apparently, yeah, and I looked this up because, were we talking about it on this show, Tricks? Yeah, I guess we were. I guess so, because I don't remember that. I know I've had this conversation personally with people, but, like, God, that's so scary. I can't remember, like, what's public and what isn't. But, yeah, they're bringing back Tricks yogurt, which is wild. Because I remember, like, last year looking for it out of curiosity and being like,
Starting point is 01:02:52 they don't make it anymore weird but now it's now it's back that that shit was like crack I don't know if it's really out of it really qualifies as yogurt but you know you're welcome for that but no I will not I will not bring a big titty got throw into your life it's it's back on your play
Starting point is 01:03:09 that's crazy I love tricks yogurt it was way too sweet though like I probably can't eat it anymore but like when I was younger that shit would be like I'd put the fucking stick I'd put a fucking spoon inside of it and I'd freeze the spoon and then I'd look like a like a eye popping and eventually but god damn man that's that's a fucking heinous thing to imagine but primate it's primate shit but that really is
Starting point is 01:03:31 primate shit but that's but yeah so that's that's that's coming back and I willed it into existence again so that's fun but okay this is this one pissed me off because I just don't have ever ever growing library of Marasov food of porn wrote in says all right this has been bothering me for a while is Shrek a Nemecian You have the blessing of thought You know that right You have the blessing of
Starting point is 01:04:04 You were blessed with the ability to think You know how many creatures on his planet Can't think Can't properly put together ideas And you ask some In the show he says I'm an auger He's I'm an auger
Starting point is 01:04:19 He yells that at donkey Why are you saying Donky like that. Donke. Donke. That's how you say. I'm a Nemecian. I'm a Nemecian.
Starting point is 01:04:30 I'm a Nemecian, donkey. I can't even imagine that. I'm a Nemecian. Yeah, baby. I'm a Menecian. Jesus Christ. He's not a Nemeci and he's an older, dude. Get your life right.
Starting point is 01:04:44 Don't go with God, bro. Get your life right. Dead inside, Rodin. He says, hello to my favorite host with the most brain damage. recently you guys referenced Joker's iconic stare scene I don't remember when but I'm sure you're probably right Joker's one of my top
Starting point is 01:04:59 Yeah Joker's one of my top Films and that scene is a pretty badass Largely due to the music So I'm curious what's your badass Stair anthem? Say you're dancing down those stairs What song are you blasting? Thanks for everything you boys do
Starting point is 01:05:15 As always much love and respect I think we talked about that shit because of the guy is a pedophile or something? Oh, yeah, that's right. The musician behind the epic, badass music of the Sarah scene is a convicted pedophile. I love kids. It's like the guy that made Rosemary's baby. It gets convicted for actually being a fucking pedophile.
Starting point is 01:05:40 He left American. He's in France now. Oh, Roman Polanski. He's just in France now. He's just like, I fucking am out of here. He's such a piece of shit. He's just living it up. He's so crazy.
Starting point is 01:05:50 Diddy Bob, bro. at the eye out of here and he laughed. So if you're dancing, doing the Joker dance on the stairs. If you had a triumphant moment like that and you were dancing down those stairs, what is the song that is playing?
Starting point is 01:06:09 Oh, man. I got to check my Spotify real quick. I got to check my Spotify real quick. Let's see if it's a really good one, like a song that really fucking encapsulates if I was going through a serious case of mania and I just did some fuck shit but I won. I already got. Let's hear it.
Starting point is 01:06:30 Yeah, I think for me it would be and I would be blasting this on like a stereo too so no one would be safe. It wouldn't just be in my head. It would be I would, I want everybody to hear it. And it would be the Marvel versus Capcom two character select. It would be I'm going to take you for a ride. Take you for a ride. And it's not stopping. I'm dancing on the on those stairs for like at least like four hours minimum. Like I and when I get it. I'm going to take you for a ride. And it's not. And to the bottom, I'm going back up if I haven't run my time through. And people are just going to be like, God
Starting point is 01:06:58 damn, how many rides is he going to take us on? Jesus Christ, it's been three hours, bro. This is like the 689th ride he's threatened to take us on. I don't know what to do. Are they going to have the sounds where you actually select the carriers like, boom, boom, boom, good decision.
Starting point is 01:07:16 That's just what I thought. No, no, no, just the song, just on loop forever. I like that. That'll, I think that would, people would end up killing themselves after a while. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Oh, there's a, oh, there's a song. Oh, man.
Starting point is 01:07:33 Ooh. There's a song that's, uh, that's very disrespectful. But recently it's become like, I have to listen to it once a day so I can go to bed proper. And it's a, it's an Asian song. And the guy is singing, he's singing in Chinese and it's like rap music. But they cut out all. the rest of the music and is just like a dubs of him saying people like in english trying to decipher what he's saying and it's so vehemently disrespectful but that would play i'm gonna i'm gonna put
Starting point is 01:08:08 it in the chat right now and i'm gonna send it to kai i'm gonna have you guys listen to it real quick and you guys are gonna be like holy shit what the fuck is wrong with you i can't listen to it because i'm recording the screen derrick listen to it you're gonna be blown the fuck away and then i'm gonna tweet it out you can already see it's not good. It's the thumbnail. It's already not good. Oh my
Starting point is 01:08:33 God. This is like is this something like CKY type shit? This is like baby racism bro. This is like when you first learn how to be the respect to somebody because of them being from a different place than you. But other than that, it'd be like city on the map by like Griselda at 50 cents.
Starting point is 01:08:51 It's like a really like gritty song. Yeah. It's a little like about. killing and selling drugs and I'd be like yeah this is my heroic song this is my level up it's pretty good it's a it's a pretty good song it's like it's like uh it's I don't know it's I put it on the same level as Despacito it's pretty good are you reading the lyrics Derek the lyrics are so unbelievably disrespectful it's this my bread and butter like the shit that I watch. It's like
Starting point is 01:09:24 the Opa goddamn style where it's just making, just finding shit and then putting shit, it's like, it's brilliant. It's brilliant, man. I'm, I'm trying to ignore it so I don't derail the fucking show. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:39 He said kitchen in a dungeon, bro. That was one of the lyrics. I swear to God, I banged poll. I saw it. I thought. What's your, what's your ideal Joker stairs? Yeah, man. That's like because I would want like a real one to me would be
Starting point is 01:09:56 more like a final countdown from Europe because that's just such a fucking iconic song but I feel like I would rather have people success starts with your drive and American Public University is here to fuel it with affordable tuition and over 200 flexible online programs

Hey, how's it going today? It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan and Morgan, which is America's
Starting point is 01:10:52 largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I saw Billboard of years recently that said 20 billion one 20 million is an insane number yeah 20 billion recovered it's actually I think somewhere north probably closer to 22 23 after this year and each year we get bigger and batter and our army grows so the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on awesome so how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan what would I do if I got into an accident probably the easiest way is dialing pound law that's pound 529 from your cell phone We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call.
Starting point is 01:11:27 24-7, 365. Wow. Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's Large Injury Law, from thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit furtherpeople.com for an office near you.
Starting point is 01:11:38 Like, like the fucking gangster rap song, like nigg-nigga-nigga. I think that would probably just make me feel better. Just like, if people could hear it and it's not just exclusive to me, I think I would way rather just have that fucking song.
Starting point is 01:11:53 What'd you do if you saw me? dancing down the stairs to that song I'd be like I guess you know like I think oh man he just did a fucking no scope or some shit and fucking call a dude he just did some fuck shit he just went on a fucking he got a seventh column in death
Starting point is 01:12:10 he just he just jumped off he just jumped off the crane on high rise and did a 360 throwing knife head shot from across the mat and that's and that's exactly what plays when he do that Dude, I hate it. Whenever someone would get one of those kills, dude, the full entire lobby would erupted.
Starting point is 01:12:30 I'd have to take my mic off for a little bit. Because it'd be a bunch of like 14-year-old screaming to their voice shatters. Oh my God, do you see that? Don't fuck with me, nigga. Like, that is such a nostalgic sound to me, though, like specifically because, not even necessarily because it's people screaming, but it's people screaming through those, like, terrible headsets with, like, the really low bit rate.
Starting point is 01:12:52 Like I have a Discord On my Chris Reagan Discord channel that I like I never go on There is a channel that is called 2007 Xbox Live And it makes your mic sound like exactly Like exactly like Like old school like modern warfare a lot
Starting point is 01:13:13 It's the funniest shit People screaming in those lobbies are infinitely funnier than like It's I don't know how to describe it other than like, it's almost like when you watch an old movie in like 4K and you're like, ooh, man, that CG didn't hold up or like, oh man, that makeup, you could really see like every mistake now that like the detail is really high.
Starting point is 01:13:36 It's almost like the bigger or like the better quality audio has made freakouts online and in video games less funny. Because it's not, it doesn't have that weird distortion to it. That sounds like somebody's. Yeah. This kid sounds like a fucking Siren Instead of like a fucking person
Starting point is 01:13:56 Dude it's so fucking funny There are these like really old Like Halo 2 like sketches That this dude His name's I am suck I think And there's one called like Oh my frequency
Starting point is 01:14:09 And it's voice acted entirely Through like the Xbox Live lobby In on the original Xbox And it's not even like A particularly like funny thing But because everyone is talking through those mics, it's the funniest fucking shit I've ever heard still to this day. Especially when people are screaming. It's so good.
Starting point is 01:14:33 The screams, bro. The screams would be like fucking, like, character-defining moments, man. You would just hear shit. Dude, going on Xbox Live, because at that stage, everyone's in a more nefarious state, you know. As a preteen, as an early teenager, you're just, you're just, you're there for the ruckus. Yeah. You're not even there to win exactly. Yeah, it's there to destroy and see empires fall.
Starting point is 01:15:00 So like, going on there and hearing people, like hearing people scream horrible shit or hearing people yell at each other would be what made Xbox for me. I think that's one reason. That's one thing that I've always been very nostalgic for is that fucking culture, the toxicity. of old fucking video games, man. It's pretty good. I like that there's enough of it still captured online. Like, there's still a good amount that you can just go on YouTube and then just put in, like, you know, Xbox Live lobby or something.
Starting point is 01:15:32 And then plenty. Usually the first thing that pops up is that fucking guy, like, talking about, like, eating dick or something. Like, yum, yum, yum, yum. Yeah, like some shit. Like, that's usually, like, the first thing that pops up. Like, it's such an iconic clip where there's fucking. faggin, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.
Starting point is 01:15:49 Like, you eat a dick, nigga, and all this. It's so good. It's so fucking good. And people will, like, put the fucking the theme, like the Han Zimmer fucking Modern Warfare 2 theme over it, just to make it like a little more
Starting point is 01:16:05 epic. I don't know. I, I appreciate those people, man. I appreciate those people. The fact that Ham Zimmer made the fucking theme for Modern Warfare 2 makes me sad, bro. It makes me so sad. That is insane. That is an insane fact that I actually just entirely forgot about. Especially because it's not even like that memorable real.
Starting point is 01:16:24 Like I don't know if I could hum it for you. I disagree. Yeah. It's like, I didn't even like that game. It's really good. It sounds like everything I've ever heard though. Like really?
Starting point is 01:16:38 Well, with context, like it, without like how I'm doing it, it does sound like everything. Yeah. But like if you hear it, like, I just picture myself. fucking on a snowmobobiles escaping shit. I'll say this. I, I bet that if I heard it, I would,
Starting point is 01:16:55 you know, it would all come back to me. Oh yeah, I remember that shit. For me, it reminds me of walking through like, every time I hear that song, I just think of just walking through a mall,
Starting point is 01:17:06 mowing people down. And I get a little bit of a giggle from it. I get a little bit of a giggle. You know, my favorite thing to do is trying to play fucking survival mode where I would turn on my team, right? I would fucking like usually throw a grenade at them. And they're invincible, right? But then you would just see how long you can last before they would kill you.
Starting point is 01:17:26 So we just try to like, it was, to me, that's more fun than like playing the missions. Because yeah, sure, you're just going to mow everybody down. But see how long you can survive without them fucking these invincible gods mowing you down. I fucking love it, dude. Oh my God. Those games had some pretty, like I think even back then a lot of games had, like the original, like, Gears of War had a, really good soundtrack too that is a little bit that's like i think steve jibinsky or something like he did uh he did a bunch of like weird weird weird weird weird shit but that's one that i can't picture i can't picture anything actually as far as gears like soundtrack that's interesting it's
Starting point is 01:18:06 you know why because the gun sounds were so loud in gears i remember that's probably my like always using the fucking chainslaw yeah yeah that fucking walk and then just hearing fucking john to Madge you'll say Domme every five minutes and shit. Dominic. Dom. Dom. Dom. I'm half gay.
Starting point is 01:18:27 Dom. Carmine's dead again. We lost another carmine. Carmine's dead. Damn. Dude, that voice is so unreal. But, no, that really is like, I bet if you heard that soundtrack again, though, you'd, like, because you deal like, uh.
Starting point is 01:18:47 Like, da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na. Okay, okay, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. Yeah, it's, like, genuinely, like, really good. Like, if you listen to it again, it's like, this is actually a great soundtrack. It's just massed by, like, heads exploding in... All the fucking juicy sound of the heads blowing up. Oh, man.
Starting point is 01:19:08 It is... Fucking torque bows and shit. Oh, when they're fucking spraying and they fall down because their heads get blown off, and then their bodies get up there just collapses. It really is... That really is. one of the best headshot sounds in I think anything like for real
Starting point is 01:19:21 like I wouldn't what did they use it's a juicy it's a juicy you to make that it sounds like they recorded it sounds like they just had like a man made of wet pussy punching a watermelon to death like almost it's like the strangest
Starting point is 01:19:38 fucking sound I feel like they took recording of squirting and they were like get real close with the mic right get real close and go for it now And he just record that. Dom, I'm squirting. Tom, I can't stop squirting.
Starting point is 01:19:54 Dom! That is, that conjures up such a horrible image in my head. Yo, guys, can we talk about how every game for the first three had a car mine that died? Yes. Each one of the brothers came in, he died. Another carmai came in two, die. The carmine from three died. No, no. The last Carmine made it out. Carmine three didn't die. He didn't die. He made it out. He had a fake out.

From Morgan and Morgan, America's Large Injury Lawfram, thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit furtherpeople.com for an office near you. Like that you thought he died and at the end, at the end he came back. Was it the grenade?
Starting point is 01:21:59 I can't remember exactly. Or was that Carmine 2 with a grenade? I think it was 2 when he fell off and he had the grenade and he blew himself up. Carmine, I know, no, no, okay, so hold on. Carmine, I remember this very specifically for some reason. I haven't played these games in ages, but these memories are flooding back to me now. The first Carmine walks, like, he's like, behind cover and he's like, it's jammed. See? And then his head explodes because he gets sniped. It's like in the
Starting point is 01:22:23 first level. And then in two, you find, uh, I think Benjamin Carmine, because it was Anthony Benjamin and then Clayton, because it was ABC. And the second one, Benjamin, you find half digested in the giant worm. Like his, the bottom of his legs are gone and he's just like dying. And then I think the third one might be the, like a helicopter crash fake out, but he like survives. But I don't know why those are like in great I guess I like years of war more than I think I do But family was just going through it bro they were just going through the fucking like why would you would you just stop at this point like dude Oh no they got they got to help you know they got to help because the situation's so bad but like god damn you're gonna die I'm just in the fucking office dude and and tell them where to go. Yeah it's that foot on the battlefield what happened to that family in the lore like in the actual story progression of those games is
Starting point is 01:23:17 what happens to like people in multiplayer matches. It's like, ah, 4 v4 and then one person dies. Like, ah, somebody died. All right, you go in now. It's like the... It really is like a morbid fucking... I don't know if there are any carmines in four or five. But I hope that.
Starting point is 01:23:33 I hope their family rest, man. I hope their family doesn't rest even. Yeah. I think they decided to give them a rest because I think there was something... I think they did because I don't think they're in it. Yeah. Was there a carmine in judgment that like one... That won off then when they were...
Starting point is 01:23:47 There was like a, it was like a, what do you call it? Like a prequel thing where they were in, uh, it is a pre. It's a retelling. No, that was two. Dizzy, Dizzy was in two. Oh, yeah, Dizzy.
Starting point is 01:23:58 Judgment was a prequel, but like, I don't think there was a car mine in there. How could there be? Like, Gears of War I started with A. So like, would like the carmine in the prequel be like zero?
Starting point is 01:24:09 Like, Elizabeth. Wait, no, so I'm on gears right now. I'm on the gears website right now. There's Anthony Benjamin Clayton. There's an Elizabeth Carmine,
Starting point is 01:24:17 Which one is she in? Elizabeth. She must be five. Wait, Clay Carmine features in, hold on. Clay is in three. But I guess he's also in the campaign of judgment. Yeah, yeah, because there's a campaign part in judgment that takes place during three, I think. Which is very confusing and dumb.
Starting point is 01:24:40 But, okay. Yeah, yeah. I don't know if there's a... She's in Gears 5. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Elizabeth. I remember her now. I don't know if she dies, though. Then there's Fredo.
Starting point is 01:24:52 And he is in Fredo, you mean? Yeah, Fredo. Was he in fucking, like, some app or some shit? What other fucking gears are... Yeah, that's the last one. Five. Right? Wait, oh, yeah, six.
Starting point is 01:25:08 No, six was one, right? No, no, Gears 5 is the last one. Oh, yeah, because Gears 4 and then Gears 5. That's okay, yeah, that's right. You guys play gear? Oh, yeah, yeah. I just, I totally remember You know what? I played 4 and 5 and I genuinely
Starting point is 01:25:22 liked them a lot but like Four and 5 are not bad games So what the hell is gonna be canon at the end of gears though At the end of Gears 5? What the fuck's gonna be canon? Yeah, I don't know That's a... What do you mean? That's weird. Well, they just did like a big choice thing
Starting point is 01:25:36 There's a big choice at the end of Gears 5 That is really good and I genuinely, I genuinely, I honestly I would recommend people play it Because if Gears 5 is actually like a genuinely good game But Oh dude, a bunch of Carmine and show up in gears five actually. What?
Starting point is 01:25:50 What? So there's, um, so there's Gary Carmine. And then there, he's in gears four and five. And then I think there's Elizabeth Carmine, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:02 And then there's Fred, uh, Fredo or Frito. Frito's in five as well. And then I think Will Carmine is another, I think he might be the dad. He's the dad Carmine. He was in judgment. Oh, he's, oh, that would,
Starting point is 01:26:16 okay, that would make sense if the dad, in judgment. That's funny as hell. Did he die? There's so many fucking Carmines. This family's just pumping out war machine babies just to die in combat. He's like a fucking queen that just just make it drones.
Starting point is 01:26:32 Carmine, Carmine is just stabbed them in the mouth and killed him instantly. Carmine is just the arbiter but with no purpose. He just goes into battles to die. Poor dude, man. Poor guy, man. Poor best.
Starting point is 01:26:48 Anyway, while we're talking about video games, though, I guess, we'll jump into some of these. Big dumb films. Big dumb film snob rode in. He says, hello, my parasycial big brothers. What's your favorite opening or first level of a video game? For me, it's the bombing mission of Final Fantasy 7, original and the remake, or Central Yarnum in Bloodborn.
Starting point is 01:27:08 Both set up the tone and gameplay mechanics expertly. Love the podcast. I've listened to all episodes multiple times because I've got nothing better to do at work. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. for your question. That's a good, this is actually like a hard one. Because I write the documents, so I put the questions down.
Starting point is 01:27:26 Like they, Derek and Sweeney have opportunity to read them, but like, you know, they don't always have to. But even I, with this heads up, I'm still kind of having a hard time imagining what my favorite first, like, level or like opening is. I know, I know. There's automatically God of Wart, the remake, the amazing first level. Me, God of War 3, I have not captured the same feeling playing anything. Yes, that. I don't know like God of War 3 like that because I think it's such a stupid story. But, bro, the way, dude, I've, the fear that a Poseidon has for fucking, for Credos while he's walking towards him, and the way he beats him.
Starting point is 01:28:13 He beats him like. Dude. third person third person first person like it you're fucking you're in the fucking it is
Starting point is 01:28:24 it's so fucking brutal it's a three camera set he's beating the hats in all of them it's so nuts like the whole lead up to it just just everything like that entire sequence
Starting point is 01:28:38 was fucking nuts man I just remember nothing I've not experienced anything that had my jaw dropped you know like that cliche, like when someone's jaw is just like wide open. I never, no other game has done that to me. And I was just like, oh my God, like what is happening?
Starting point is 01:28:54 Because remember, that's going from number two to three, where he was, number two's inch opening was pretty fucking fun. You were fighting this giant colossus, this fucking statue, which was really fun fight. No, not in that one, not in that one. That's not too. You're a god in the beginning of two, right? And the, you're the, you're the god in the beginning.
Starting point is 01:29:15 beginning of two and then you basically you're just fucking up Athens and then fucking a colossal colossus get just start you go into it you whip its ass and then you know you zap your powers and then Zeus kills you but like three was just like the graphics
Starting point is 01:29:31 are updated enhanced it just looks fucking amazing you're riding fucking Gaia and then you're fighting Poseidon all the huge it was just my brain could barely handle it at the time it was fucking amazing yeah God of War III has a great intro sequence
Starting point is 01:29:45 I'm like looking at my shelf like all my games I'm just like trying to I'm racking my brand like there's a couple that I think are like really good but I as I go through them
Starting point is 01:29:55 I know that none of them are my favorite I know I know I have a favorite I don't know what it is because it's not on the top of my head I think I might come back to this on the next episode but like ones that come to mind
Starting point is 01:30:05 immediately are the intro to Doom 2016 where it just like immediately that just shoves you into it you like walk out of a you wake up out of a sarcophagus and then like a demon, like, you grab a demon's head and just slam it, and then you're immediately, like,
Starting point is 01:30:19 playing the game, and it's like, that's a fucking great intro. That's pretty cool. The plateau in Breath of the Wild, because it's so fresh in my mind, is a genuinely good, like, first area. And I think, I want to say fucking... I personally like the first...

Starting point is 01:31:30 I think I saw Billboard of years recently that said $20 billion. $20 billion is an insane number. Yeah, $20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and badder and our army grows. so the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome.
Starting point is 01:31:50 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.
Starting point is 01:32:05 Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's Large Injury Lawfirm, thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit forethepeople.com for an office near you. Like the introduction of the first Colossus in Shadow of the Colossus quite a bit But there's like a lot of I'm sure there's something that I can't fucking Remember and it's bothering the shit out of me
Starting point is 01:32:25 Like it's I know I haven't answered this question I have no idea what it is though Oh you know what's one I really like is gonna be lame The intro to Mass Effect 2 is also great like when you're like you know That opening like when they fucking literally kill you is pretty yeah It's a pretty wild dude It's a pretty great when you're when it's like when you're when you're getting Joker like at one part when you're walking to get Joker
Starting point is 01:32:44 and when you can look around that shit looks fucking like oh fuck like that was amazing for me uh Sonic Advanced Battle okay there's like Invince Battle when you uh when you land outside on the board
Starting point is 01:32:56 and you're like running down you're going down the board like the city of San Francisco on a fucking like surfboard in the middle of the street and I'm like yo this is pretty You mean Sonic Adventure 2? Yeah battle You said Sonic Advance I think I didn't say Sonic Advanced
Starting point is 01:33:10 It's not an adventure too Sorry that's another Sonic Sonic fucking franchise And I was like Yo this is fucking kind of lit Like when I was little I was like this is really awesome
Starting point is 01:33:19 And then I realized That game is Fucking That game is horrible It's a terrible Video game At best it doesn't work At worst
Starting point is 01:33:31 It glitches to the point When your game It's a terrible game Interesting I'm gonna stand by Halo 3 I love Halo 3's opening Super fucking amazing God of War
Starting point is 01:33:44 Arbiter and Chief meeting each other in the very beginning It's good, I just don't... I don't... I don't think... I love Halo. I just don't think any Halo game has an opening that's particularly amazing. Like, I think they're all very good
Starting point is 01:34:00 and very service of all. You don't think Halo 4's opening's amazing? No. I think they have really good... I think they all have really good closers. Like, they all end really well. I think like Halo Reach ends like fucking phenomenally with like that that section where you're all alone and you're taking damage
Starting point is 01:34:15 and like your helmet starts to crack and shit and then the the end of Halo 3 with like the driving the hog around like the fucking debris field and and two with like the you know two is a little bit lackluster but but I don't know if they start particularly well like I don't think any Halo game starts as well as like doom 2016 starts or or as well as like I think Bioshoc Infinite also has like a really bioshop actually has a fantastic intro like when you're crashing in the plane and you're like swimming i remember playing that game for the first time on 360 and thinking that was the most realistic water i had ever seen like it was like insane at the time it's it's crazy how your eyes like i it still looks really
Starting point is 01:34:56 good by the way but i used to think buddha tin kaiichi one no buddhaai one looked amazing there was a period in my time in my mind if i was like budu kai one looks so fucking realistic holy shit how did they make goku look real and now i look back on that and i'm just Like, what the fuck? Right? Right. I love that. I love seeing that.
Starting point is 01:35:18 Especially for some reason in the PS2 era was like, I'm, I just remember thinking God of War II looks so fucking incredible. And then now I'm looking at him like, oh, he looks like, he looks like, like, smoke. I don't know. Like, he looks like not, like, it just does, it looks so ashy. And I'm like, dude, this is fucking gross, dude. He looks like smoke. I just don't know how to describe it, like seeing it. Now I'm like, what?
Starting point is 01:35:41 I think the 360 era and the, um, in the PS3 era, that still looks good in my mind. Like, it, it's not as textured and stuff, but it still looks good. But fuck, dude, the fucking PS2 era, we were like, yo, this is amazing. And now I'm like, what was I looking at? Doesn't get any better. What was I like? It is it. This is the maximum.
Starting point is 01:36:01 This is the maximum. Video games are at their peak right now. Yeah. I remember thinking, I remember thinking GTA San Andreas. Like, I played at a friend's house. And I was like, this is so real. No. No, even back then, I was like, dude, this looks like shit.
Starting point is 01:36:19 No, dude, I remember thinking it looked really impressive because I had never seen scale. I never seen scale like that. I was just be like, wow, it looks fucking. Grand The daughter of four was another one where I was like, when that game came out, I was like, this looks insane. And then I, and then I, yeah, like, uh, yeah. Four actually looks kind of good. Four looks kind of good until you play in HD. and then it's like it doesn't really, it looks.
Starting point is 01:36:42 Like, Gears of War I looks significantly better than Grand The Auto 4 does. Like, oh, it does. Like significantly. But, but GTA 4 opposed to GTA, look, San Andreas, I played that. I remember the Thursday it came out because my friend, it was like,
Starting point is 01:36:58 I lived in the Bronx, I was in maybe fifth or, I was in fifth grade. My friend came running down the block. Was like, you, I got it. Let's go to my house. And all these little black, Hispanic kids ran up to my friend Feliciano's house.
Starting point is 01:37:13 He had the biggest apartment out of any of us. I don't know why he got an apartment that big. It was like a three-bedroom apartment in like the Bronx. For some reason, he had an apartment that large. We were all there playing it. And that game, I remember getting on the terrain and being like,
Starting point is 01:37:25 yo, this is the apex. Really? I was like, I thought it was so good. I remember when you played that and we watched Blade Trinity because Blade Trinity came out just around the same time. We watched a bootleg Blade Trinity.
Starting point is 01:37:39 I was just like, this is perfection. What the fuck? I didn't, I don't know, man. I didn't, to me the game was so big. It just looked like fucking shit to me. What game? You're older, that's why. Oh, same game, San Andreas.
Starting point is 01:37:54 Yeah. I just remember looking, I was like, man, this game is, it's so wide. There's so much you can do. I understand why I look like ass. It looked like ass to me, but I still loved it. But I think it was just. PS2 era rock star games in particular did not age well. Like bully
Starting point is 01:38:11 I tried to play bully kind of recently Because I was like Oh I miss bully Like the premise of bully is awesome And I do think like if they made a bully Like modern I think it would be awesome But
Starting point is 01:38:22 I agree I did not like bully Bullie plays terribly I did not like it I love learning how to beat people up Because of a bum A bum is teaching me out of beat people up I loved it
Starting point is 01:38:34 From the bum He teaches you how to fight proper I hated a bully I didn't like it I'm like, you got on the fucking, you got a bike. You get on your fucking bite, little preps to do, piques of shit. I was like, I want somebody to beat the shit out of this guy.
Starting point is 01:38:46 Such an asshole. But dude, even like, even just, you look at some remasters now. And, like, even, I remember when, when Destroy All Humans, when that remake came out. And I was like, oh, it just looks like Destroy All Humans again. What do you mean? And then I went back and played Destroy All Humans. And I was like, oh, my fucking, wow.
Starting point is 01:39:04 This looks so much worse. It's hilarious. I couldn't believe. God of War 3, man. I thought when they remastered it for PS4, I'm like, what the fuck's the difference? And then I went back and I was like, oh. I can't, I can't.
Starting point is 01:39:19 Your eyes, it's so crazy how they fucking work, man. Yeah, they just auto-correct. Your brain's like, oh, this is good resolution. I think I think this is fine. And you're like, bro, what the fuck was I looking at? I couldn't see things. Yeah. I couldn't see the game.
Starting point is 01:39:34 Dude, I kid you not. I don't know why. I played Resident Evil 6 when I was No, seven. No, no, no, no, not seven. Resident Evil five. I can't even see the laser sight anymore in that game. I can't see where the site is anymore. I don't know where it went.
Starting point is 01:39:51 I try to use it. I'm like, bro, where the fuck is everything? When I was younger, I could play that game like a madman. I could snipe everything. Now I can't even see where people's heads are exactly. It is insane what we thought was okay. Like even just like frame rate wise. Like, I'm so spoiled now.
Starting point is 01:40:09 I'm so used to 60 frames or like 120 frames, like, to the point where, like, I go back and I look at the games that I used to play at, like, 30. And some of them not even like stable, some of them, like, I remember I loved mercenaries too so much. And that was like, like, 25 to 30 frames. I was like, I'm having such a great time periodically when I can see what's happening. And it just blows your fucking mind. Because I can't go back, man. Like I can't I cannot play a game at 30 frames anymore Like it is painful
Starting point is 01:40:43 Did our eyes get worse? Or how they become accustomed to this better things? It's not worse It's like I think It's yeah it's it's the ladder That we just we now We're gated Right and so your eyes
Starting point is 01:40:59 This is as good as you can see And your eyes adjust to that like Yeah Like the shit that we were seeing back in the day Was so fucking horrific But we couldn't We had nothing else to compare it to And so.
Starting point is 01:41:09 So, like, our eyes can see pretty well, but I think we're going to cap out very soon. I think after, like, I think within the next decade, we're going to be capped out. Like, shit's not going to look any better. Yeah. It doesn't matter. Yeah. No, I think you're right. I think we're, I think we're kind of already there in some ways.
Starting point is 01:41:26 Just about. Just about. It's pretty crazy, dude. 8K is pretty fucking crazy. But 8K will never be, like, there's no, like, there's no justifiable reason. Well, AK is the only reason you want, like, 8K or anything even beyond. on that is because you have an extremely large screen. That's it.
Starting point is 01:41:43 Because if you look at things on your phone, right? It looks fucking amazing compared to blowing it up on a fucking 80 inch TV or something. So you want fucking a ton of K in it. You want the resolution to be so astonishing that it'll look like you're looking at a phone on a big ass TV or something like that. That's the only reason. Yeah, for sure. But that's kind of the thing.
Starting point is 01:42:02 It's like that's the limiting factor where like the majority of people just aren't going to have even a room big enough to really take advantage of an 8K screen. and 8K monitors are definitely going to be like useless like there's no there's no reason and there's going to be a point where game developers are like do we really need to support like do we really need to put 8K textures in this fucking game that's going to bloat the size of this file when nobody really has the room for these screens we I think we are going to tap out like at the at the apex of this soon because even frame rate like people are like 244,000. frames per second must be the standard and it's like I don't think so at all like it's
Starting point is 01:42:44 240 is good but 240 is over dude I forgot what I was playing and it was at 240 no there was it's the it's a co-back thing that like shooting my tutorial thing in fucking um oh the the the aim assist thing that you're bro the aim training thing I use that at 240 and there are times where people move towards me and they're so success starts with your drive an 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.

From Morgan and Morgan, America's Large Injury Law Firm, thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit furtherpeople.com for an office near you. Swift, I scream because I get scared because everything it's it's it's too liquid the movement you know i don't think like i don't i think i think
Starting point is 01:44:45 i'm 240 frames like i'm i think i'm at like 240 frames max if i have a good frame rate day but i don't think the world needs to go beyond that i think 120 is safe you don't got to venture beyond that 240 if you're daring and don't go any further than that like stay i'm i'm super satisfied with 60 you know what i mean like 60 looks great to me like and it just it's it's it's as smooth as i need need it to be. And there's just a point where, you know, do you really want developers spending time making something that's 8K 500 frames a second? Or would you rather just have them spend time making something really good at like, you know, with 60 as a base and like 4K as a base? I think that's totally like the returns diminish after a certain point, you know? I feel like it, the, with the
Starting point is 01:45:35 frames rate, with the frame rate that high, a lot of gameplay, It's kind of too hyper-focused to where, and in my opinion, it kind of defeats some of what makes games a little challenging. Or, like, say, how you kind of see people in real life. Like, if something's coming at you real quick, you're not capturing every single fucking thing they're doing. So, like, which kind of really make, it kind of makes things a lot more suspenseful. Where, like, in say in these scenarios, when you see everything that's happening, it doesn't really like, oh, I got this. I got this easily. I know exactly what this person's doing exactly where they're, like, everything.
Starting point is 01:46:12 I know exactly. It's just kind of like, in my opinion, I'm like, ah, I feel weird because I'm like, this is so far from anything I would ever experience in real life. I don't know. I said like 60, 120, cool. You know, like, all right, what are you doing after that? What the fuck are you doing? Yeah, it gets excessive.
Starting point is 01:46:27 You're hyper competitive now. I love it. I love it, but I also hate it's too much. It is, it is like, you at a certain point. It's good for competing, though. I get it. I get it. Like, if you're fucking competing, you know, you want to see everything.
Starting point is 01:46:38 You want to fucking like, you want to like Really see everything Like I know exactly that guy is I saw the top of his head pick up past that rock I found this nigger I'm gonna heart's open and blow his fucking head off I'll be peaked out dumb little bitch You stupid motherfucker
Starting point is 01:46:52 Your head's gone now Dom there he is I got 240 Dom I got 240 Dom I see him I got 240 Dom I got 240 Dom I can imagine I should say my
Starting point is 01:47:08 frame rates crashing dumb oh my fucking god i'm mine it's under six days sorry i cannot get i i i have had the after image of marcus phoenix squirting in the back of my head for the last several
Starting point is 01:47:28 i can't stop squirting dom i'm squirting so much it's so fucking it's a horrible you know they like fucking rub they know when they like rub their their pussy too so it just sprays everywhere In my mind, in my mind, he's in like a dark, empty apartment, like, writhing on the ground, like a motion, like, like, you ever see, like, rough motion capture animation? Yes. It's like that.
Starting point is 01:47:54 It's so high. He's like writhing. Dah! I hate it. That's so not what I'm picturing, but. For me, I, for me, I just see him laying back and, like, his legs are up and, like, it's like a faucet, like, arcing out of his fucking hands. And then every now and then someone gives him. a pat and it turns into like a sprinkler
Starting point is 01:48:12 where it's just, the bloom is everywhere. Oh my fucking wow. You can't squirt better than me on you. Okay. Jake Conklin do be gay though. Rodin. He says, hello, Carl Metalbow, Tim Swoonie, and non-particular pigmented men. Longtime fan of the podcast.
Starting point is 01:48:37 I am writing in to ask about your thoughts on Nintendo releasing the N64 expansion pass for Nintendo online. This seems really cool until you consider people dropped $60 on Super Mario 3D All-Stars specifically for Super Mario 64, and now it may be released as part of the expansion. What Say You? I saw this at the Nintendo. They mentioned this on the Nintendo Direct, and we kind of briefly touched on it, but we kind of got sidetracked by casting the Mario movie.
Starting point is 01:49:05 I don't know how I feel about this. I'm sort of indifferent. I would rather just be able to buy Ocarina Time. You know, like, I don't like the fact that, like, I can play O'Cherina Time, but I have to pay in perpetuity to own it. That bothers me. Like, I wish you could just get these things a la carte. Like, I'd be willing, I would be willing, for real to spend $60 on. Ocureen of Time and Majores Mask, both.
Starting point is 01:49:38 Like, I would be willing to do that. I love those games, and I have no way to own those games legally at a good frame rate, a good resolution. Like, there's no way for me to do that right now. Like, I could buy the Nintendo DS version of Super Mario 64, I guess. But, like, what am I... I don't know, like, this whole thing where, like, there's no such thing as ownership anymore, it kind of bothers me.
Starting point is 01:50:03 but fuck it you know I'll probably get this fucking expansion pass because Nintendo knows how to take my money I fucking hate it
Starting point is 01:50:13 here we go here we go I do play like Donkey Kong Country right now and again just because it's in that SNES package on the switch
Starting point is 01:50:23 that you could just like load it up instantly it's fucking good I just wish I could own it yeah that makes sense yeah
Starting point is 01:50:31 yeah Yeah, I get you. I agree. I'm just going to get it. You know, like I, you know, they got echoed a dolphin. I got to get it, you know. It does have echoed the dolphin. I got it.
Starting point is 01:50:42 Really? Yeah. So, like, I was thinking about you and I saw that because I was like, oh, there's that game that everybody chastised Kingston for believing was real. I would argue people. They'd be like, echo the dolphins. I'm like, echo's real. I swear to God. And they'd be like, that game's not real because the game sounds fake.
Starting point is 01:51:00 If you tell people, I'm playing. where I'm a dolphin. Like, I'm a dolphin, and I'm, like, stopping pollution and aliens. They'd be like, what the fuck are you talking about? That's, you're... Echo the Dolphins sounds more real to me than fucking Darby the Dragon, which was like a game I actually played on PC. It was like a kid's, like, point-and-click-style adventure game.
Starting point is 01:51:24 And that's, like, every time I tell people about that, people are like, you're fucking crazy. You're out of your mind. That's a whole last real game I know about it. It's like one of the cereal box games. kind of it's not exactly a serial box game but it might as well be you just reminded me of something that holy crap one of those fucking PC
Starting point is 01:51:40 games I think it was called like Wacky Jax or something Wacky Jax? It was like it was like a questionnaire game I gotta look it up and see if that's what it was called Yeah look it up Look it up my friend I will I will find Let's look for a different Do you find it? Did you find it? Did you actually find it?
Starting point is 01:51:57 Yeah dude Wait is it called Wacky Jax? It's called Yeah it's called Wacky Jax. I mean it's called wacky i can't believe i remember this wacky jack's like jac k s okay i'm okay i just see i just see a woman doing
Starting point is 01:52:10 i just see a youtube video of a beating off or something no it's like they you have like all these like weird characters that you can choose one and then it was like a questionnaire kind of thing it was like a game show oh holy shit i forgot about this oh shit i remember this
Starting point is 01:52:27 I remember this game I don't remember that fat asshole I'm not gonna pretend I'm not going to pretend to remember this. But I do remember all sorts of games like this, you know? Math Blaster. That was a good one. Math Blaster.
Starting point is 01:52:42 Yo, I was goaded and math blaster, man. For fucking third graders, man, I was a god in that game. I remember playing this SpongeBob PC game where, like, you made, like, you had to run the crabby. You had to run the Krusty Krab or something. And I wish I could remember what the fuck it's called. Ah, it's going to drive me insane. SpongeBob PC
Starting point is 01:53:05 Restaurant game It must be Is it Diner Dash? Probably Spunkoff Squabhanes Diner Dash What is this? Oh my God it is
Starting point is 01:53:17 Well, there you go Wow Holy fuck That's crazy SpongeBob I need a crabby paddy Dude I remember thinking these games used to be fucking
Starting point is 01:53:30 incredible I thought Math Blasser was an amazing game, dude. Give me a grabby, batty Dom. And then I played like Zelda. And I was like, well, Math Blasters is good, but it's no Zelda. Yeah. It's no Zelda. Nas Blasters good, but it's no Zelda Ocarina of Time.
Starting point is 01:53:55 Oh my God, dude. It's so weird looking at these old PC games because they just feel so. they feel like they're from a different universe almost. Yeah. Like it's so fucking crazy how many of these there are that just fade away. Like I remember Skyroads very, very vividly, and no one remembers Skyroads. But it was like this really polygonal kind of like, it was almost like Crash Bandicoot except like in the sense that like you're kind of going forward. but you were like this ship and you had to like jump across platforms
Starting point is 01:54:33 it was like this really weird fucking it was like an endless runner actually like it was yeah I'm seeing it right now sort of yeah Skyroads this really old fuck I used to play this on the PC at my fucking Catholic school dude shout out to fucking Sonic computer video games man shout out y'all were great
Starting point is 01:54:50 Skyroads looks like Sonic well like some of the maps like when you go on the emerald when you get in the chaos emeralds and like say Sonic 2 when you when you would jump in those those those uh that circle of stars and then you go in the okay yeah i think i understand would you be facing forward and that weird fucking wacky music
Starting point is 01:55:07 bam bam bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum you know I'm talking about I do know what you're talking about I think I understand what it is you're talking about don't even worry about it these motherfuckers latter listening they understand if they cataclysmic cunt fucked rodin says hello my potato head Mario Judah and Chris

Starting point is 01:55:56 I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan. Hey, how's it going today? It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan and Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I saw Billboard of years recently that said 20 billion one. 20 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 01:56:31 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 01:56:48 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. I recently came to the conclusion that the H3H3 and Keemstar drama may be fake, but is there any YouTuber drama that you all think may be fake?
Starting point is 01:57:08 So like just most of it, everything, you mean? All of it is? So he's not even going to elaborate? Yeah, like it's just like, yeah, I thought he was going to. I picked this question because I thought he had a, it was going to make an accusation. That just going on for far too long, by the way. Like I cannot believe that they are still. like publicly fighting.
Starting point is 01:57:32 Hmm. Yeah. It's insane. It's, it's, I caught a little bit of it. Like, what's it?
Starting point is 01:57:43 Ethan's podcast. They used to be podcasts. Uh-huh. They just, like, he's just a punching bag on it, like all the time. And which I think people just kind of accepted
Starting point is 01:57:53 and they didn't give a shit. But then like I get, it got re-ignited because, team star narked on Twitter where he was like hey uh y'all came to me and said to stop shitting on Ethan but this motherfucker shits on me like in every episode and then they like struck down one of his videos
Starting point is 01:58:14 oh shit and and so it like kind of reignited the thing where it's like you know he could have just left it alone like who cares who gives this shit anyway i um i i don't know i wonder what this guy is thinking because they've like flagged each other and they they Ethan lost a lot of money when he made that series on Keemstar because like
Starting point is 01:58:38 a Keemstar lost one of his sponsorships or he like left one of them Yeah yeah I remember that And then So because of that All of the Keemstar fucking plague rats They started reporting like Ethan to whatever sponsor
Starting point is 01:58:54 He had like Old Spice and everything Uh huh And then he lost like a lot of money and then so which caused him to build more of an empire and make more shows to be more like less dependent on sponsors I guess
Starting point is 01:59:07 I was paying heavily attention around that time I'm like I imagine that shit ain't fake man like I don't know how it's definitely it's definitely not there's no like friendliness there they they genuinely do authentically hate each other but also like fucking God like what
Starting point is 01:59:23 I'm so tired to see in that shit it's so it feels ancient at this point you know it's like season it's like watching a show you really liked and then just
Starting point is 01:59:35 but it's in like it's 50 54th season and you're just like why are they still doing this like it's the same storyline yeah it's like the sims
Starting point is 01:59:44 it's like watching the Simpsons for me it's just like you know it's just I hope King just gets I hope him and a bus make contact with each other but other than that
Starting point is 01:59:54 like Jesus Christ like it's just like whatever you know let them be like make fun of each other hate each other i don't know hopefully hopefully they they come to blows that'd be funny i hope they do it's getting pretty beefy man he might fuck you might fuck up keem started he's been trimming up a little he's been trimming down a but i'm happy for him you know like good good for him yeah he just did he just put out that show he started that new show with uh oh with the son
Starting point is 02:00:19 son piker which is like um very weird it's very weird i caught actually because i was really curious how the dynamic was going to go. Because I've admittedly, I've never watched like anything of Hassan further than of clip of him rage quitting. So I couldn't really say anything about him. I don't even know who he is exactly. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:00:38 He used to work for young Turks and stuff. And now he's just a huge Twitch streamer and on the left. And so they have a podcast together and like I don't know, man. I really, I was like, oh, why do people, other than
Starting point is 02:00:54 some comments he's made before. I was like, he didn't seem particularly, he seemed fine to me. Like, I didn't really see, like, what the old hubbub and why people, like, try to show him so much. I will say. Like, go ahead. What are you going to say? Because you probably know more. You probably know more than me. Not much, to be fair. Like, I don't really keep in touch with these people. Like, I've seen a little bit of his own stuff. And he just does, like, political content or whatever, like, big deal. Sure. But the thing that's weird about is, like, he started, they started this new show specifically because, like, people, like, were like, stop talking about politics on the H3 podcast. It's like, all right, here's a politics podcast specifically for it instead.
Starting point is 02:01:29 And that's the idea. It's like Ethan and Hassan. And look, I've met Ethan, and Ethan's been nothing but nice to me. I like Ethan. Uh-huh. But I don't know if you watched this new channel, but it is, I have never seen less chemistry between two people. It's, it's not that it's bad. It's just that it's kind of there.
Starting point is 02:01:56 It's the weirdest thing I've ever... They had like a whole announcement thing like the big introductory episode and it was like the cadence was so slow and I can't imagine wanting to watch it like quite frankly like I just don't understand who it's for. I guess it's just so they can talk about politics
Starting point is 02:02:15 without worrying about it on the H3 show but it's just I don't know man. I totally look at it man. Do you know what I'm saying? Am I wrong? Am I out of pocket? No, you're not wrong even a little bit. Here's the thing. And even though like I like and still respect Ethan,
Starting point is 02:02:32 I haven't talked to him in a long time, but I still would consider him a friend. Yeah. But his politics, I'm going to be like his takes. And the way that he tries to explain things, it is, it is so difficult to listen to. It's just,
Starting point is 02:02:52 it's not even the ideas that are bad. It's listening to him struggle to, to make a point about politics or Hassan is... Go ahead. No, I was going to say it's like it's performative and underdeveloped at the same time.
Starting point is 02:03:05 It's like very weird. It's a very weird, like, I don't know if he's... And that's not really necessarily as well. He's not skilled it. Yeah, he's not skilled at. That's why the whole thing happened with like the crowded debate.
Starting point is 02:03:18 It's like he knows he's not a debater. And I thought that was funny actually because he like leaned into the fact that's like, yeah, I can't do this. I don't know what the fuck I'm doing. Here's some. somebody who does. I thought that was kind of clever and funny. But whenever he tries authentically to make like an argument, it just never really works. It's not, it's not good.
Starting point is 02:03:35 It's necessarily that he's wrong all the time. It's just that he doesn't know how to convince people that he's right. Yeah. And I'll see him, he has like, because like, say for example, Hassan's like, like, like an index. He just no shit off the top of his head. Like he's just like ranting, going, going. And I'm seeing Ethan chiming in, but reading. off of his laptop, trying to, like, you know, get his point across, but it's not actually in his mind, which is what people kind of want to hear when they're hearing, like, political pundits, kind of like firing off and shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:04:07 And so I'm like, I'm like, know what they're talking about implicitly. You don't want to hear people who are just, like, riffing. Yeah. Yeah. So it's, it's unfortunate where I honestly, I think if Ethan was there to, like, say how a lot of people, they'll have somebody who knows what they're talking about, and then they'll bring a comedian. Like, say Neil deGrasse Tyson, he has this fucking
Starting point is 02:04:28 podcast StarTalk he's had for years. And where he's like, I'm going to say all this smart shit and I'm going to have a comedic host, a guest at every episode. Sometimes the same people, sometimes it switches it up. And it's just supposed to be that balance. And like, that would be great if Hassan
Starting point is 02:04:44 was just rattling off all of his shit and then Ethan was just there to make some fucking jokes and lighten everything up. I think that would work pretty well. But Ethan's really I actually saw the last episode. and I was like, dude, you have to stop cutting off Hassan. Like, especially not, you're cutting him off and you're not saying anything that's like, like you cut him off for that, bro.
Starting point is 02:05:09 It was pretty, I was like, damn. But hey, man, it's still early. It's still early. Yeah, they can figure it out. Yeah. Because didn't he have frenemies, you know, in front of me, wasn't that a fucking train wreck at first? Yeah, but that was the point of it, I think. The whole, yeah, very true.
Starting point is 02:05:23 But then I think it was. works the most the most popular podcast on like the on the platform that shit was nuts man but it kind of shows how people really like fucking uh uh watching uh trisha paid is just be fucking insane and because that's what the podcast is right oh it's sad bro i i didn't care about her like for a long like for a long time i didn't care about her and then like one of our friends uh what you got me to like actually like i was rooting for her like i was genuinely like i hope she gets better i hope she like and gets help
Starting point is 02:05:55 but that final episode we watched me and Chris watched the like them the falling apart happen and it was like bad like we watched in the living room and it was like oh man this looks not good
Starting point is 02:06:06 this is like a fire this is like a fire people are watching the start and no one's no one's putting up the fire everyone is like yo this is lit it was lit
Starting point is 02:06:16 it's like watching something it's like seeing like something really it's like seeing the before of like a tragic a tragic event it's like oh hey that
Starting point is 02:06:30 road in China looks really familiar you know I think I've seen and then the tanks start rolling up and it's like oh that's where we are it's like if you have a if you have like a cam stationary camera and they circle exactly where the crash is going to be
Starting point is 02:06:49 and you're like whoa right there you'll see it. Yeah, and it's got, it's like a 480P video with like unregistered hypercam.com or whatever the fuck up top. And you're like,
Starting point is 02:07:01 yo, do we talk about that, uh, that bridge? I think it's in like north or South Carolina where people, huh? Is this about the one that felt or no?
Starting point is 02:07:12 No, it's the one that like, it's too small for trucks and they keep slamming into it. Did, did we ever mention that? Oh, there's a fucking YouTube channel
Starting point is 02:07:20 dedicated to it. Wait, what is the one? Wait, what is it called away? It's a fucking stationary camera. It's showing tens of trucks smashing into a bridge because it's too low. And then they, they fucking raised it a little. And then it's still like scraping the top of fucking trucks. Yeah, yeah. What is it called? Yeah. So it's called the can opener. It's called can opener bridge. Thank you. Because it just peels the top of trucks off every single time. I saw this on TikTok actually. I didn't know that this. We didn't talk about this. Success starts with your drive, an American public university is here to fuel it.

Starting point is 02:10:44 this every single video of this is that it's so precise. Like it's just like, it's just the top. If this bridge was a barber, he'd be amazing. Like the precision here is fucking crazy This is a slayer, this is a slayer, dude Oh, it's so bad
Starting point is 02:11:04 Why would they let that be? Why would they let that just be that? That's what's crazy After like you would think a fucking day they would have to like Have fat signs you'd be like no Like just no It's just like This one is November 2019 If trucks were 50 fucking one
Starting point is 02:11:25 151, bro. If trucks were Afghanistan, that bridge would be Bush. That shit is fucking unreal. Hey-oh. Hey-oh. Unreal. Anyway. On that bridge.
