The hogs are back yet again, with guest hog Andrew (@Zhadn_) in tow. Dan has the latest from New York's majorly stupid mayoral race. We are pleased to announce that Andrew Yang lost but saddened to say that Eric Adams is probably going to win. Just as Mr. Adams lives in Fort Lee, New Jersey, not New York, New York, Dan undeservedly received a jury duty notice for his home state of New Jersey, despite living in New York. Truly, the system has failed. Watch out for the transition where we start talking about how the President of Haiti was assassinated today by Spanish speakers impersonating the DEA. Dan really beefs the transition on that one. He's trying, folks... As we continue to hold Dan accountable, we issue a few corrections from prior episodes. For more of Dan being wrong, be sure to follow him on Twitter so he can get to 420 followers. As of recording we (he) only need(s) 5 more... It could be you!
We also have a few cool videos of stuff blowing up. The thing is, they are both videos of bad things happening: one being the Los Angeles Police Department detonating "stolen" (we prefer to say "liberated") fireworks and taking out a city block in the process, and the other being the gaping hole of fire that opened up in the Gulf of Mexico. Yeah, yeah, both are pretty bad signs, but still, stuff blowing up is kinda cool. Dan Snyder, owner of the Washington Football Team and person who may have hired Sam at one point (he would have regretted it) has been fined for toxic workplace culture. We dig deeper to dish on how Dan Snyder is now cucked as his wife takes over operations of the racial slur football team. Andrew is the internet guy. He loves computers. He shares his thoughts on why OKCupid is a trash website, and why Alibaba is an insane platform hard for those of us in this tiny, dusty country to understand the scale of. We also delve into the recent disappearance of Alibaba founder Jack Ma from the public eye in China, and how he rocked out on guitar once.
Speaking of scale and continuing with abrupt transitions, we revisit the largest mass shooting in US history and how we still don't know anything substantive about Stephen Paddock or his motives. Unless one of those guys with ideas about his involvement with the Saudis is on to something...
To close out, Dan is forced to evaluate and understand Waluigi, including what his moveset would be in Super Smash Bros., and we share a few anecdotes about the many voices of the Mario Extended Universe.
