Summary
TODAY: The show gets a very special new follower in the form of talented, successful, but fully death-cult illustrator Danny Hellman.
We reveal the shitpost that put us on his radar, his insane twitter feed, and how knowing what his politics are sheds new light on his tWisTEd Gen-X illustrations.
Plus: we look at the interesting ways news outlets have reported (and audiences have commented) on the Blind Side / Michael Oher lawsuit against his conservator "family."
Finally: we take a trip down memory lane with a couple teenage bands including the Christian Refused clone Blindside, and melodramatic emo band The Beautiful Mistake, including a music video with the most selfless nice guy in existence.

| 0:00.0 | There's some comments that I thought were fairly interesting. |
| 0:07.7 | Okay, so these are from, I think, New York Post here. |
| 0:13.4 | Jeremy 1957 or Jerry M. 1957 says, what makes you think that the family is worth 200 million? |
| 0:20.5 | So he's responding to somebody else who's like these you know |
| 0:22.8 | Greene 200 millionaires or whatever while the article states that the family sold a quote |
| 0:28.6 | conglomerate of restaurants for 200 million it provided no |
| 0:32.6 | information whatsoever on the amount of net proceeds that the family received |
| 0:37.3 | For example if the family |
| 0:38.8 | had borrowed 50 million to acquire and improve one or more of those restaurants, the balance |
| 0:43.1 | due on that loan would have to be paid from the proceeds of the sale. More importantly, |
| 0:47.4 | whatever the net proceeds of the sale were, they would be further reduced by federal, state, |
| 0:52.2 | and local taxes. |
| 0:57.3 | Dog, the restaurants weren't like mom and pop shops. |
| 1:00.4 | They were KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell. |
| 1:02.7 | Like, they were, they were the big ones. |

| 1:06.2 | You like, fuck you. |
| 1:32.1 | Like, well, he's not arguing that they weren't worth 200 million, but he's saying that like maybe they were the family was in debt so that 200 million they got goes right into the hole so they're not actually worth like the family itself isn't worth 200, which I mean, I understand what he's saying, but at the same time, it's funny when it's like issued as a defense of the family, right? |
| 1:36.0 | Because somebody's, somebody's like criticizing the family, bringing up the 200 million figure. |
| 1:43.0 | And this guy's like, well, actually, thanks to state regulations, they probably didn't make your precious $200 million or whatever. |
| 1:46.4 | There probably was more motivation to do this awful thing that they did. |
| 1:52.4 | Well, yeah, I think maybe he's like defending them as not like wealthy out of touch elite act as a matter of fact. |
