They’ve been on Behind the Bastards a few times and I really value how they can balance between thought provoking and zany. Is their podcast more of the same?
Absolutely, and that’s where they make a good team (maybe I was shitting a bit too much on the sidekick, but he really does screech and it’s unbearable).
Yes, for the most part. Obviously there are heavier topics and moments that require more sensitivity but their dynamic is pretty good reflected in the BtB episodes.
I can’t recommend them enough but I must advise some moderation, if you take too much of that stuff in at once
it becomes quite a mental load.
They have episodes titled ‘Formulaic objections’ which are commented versions of depositions, mainly from the sandy hook cases, but also others against characters from that universe and they are awesome. I sometimes take those as a sort of palette cleanser, because it is quite relieving to see those characters in a court setting, stripped of their usual ability to just deflect and ramble on.

Interesting, I’ll have to check their backlog. Although I really like the analyses of the main guy; they are very sharp when Jones is rambling & deflecting.

Adding to that: yes those moments are very enjoyable, but if you listen for longer you’ll notice they are around a lot and the replies of dan and Jordan are in a vacuum, they have no impact on what is being rambled about. In those depositions there is actually a professional in the room, that either stops the rambling (there is a moment where one lawyer actually does a “bapbapbap I’m talking, not you” to Alex Jones), or they just deflate all the nonsense with a short remark like “in what way was this an answer to my question” or " do you know what question you are answering right now?". Oh and one of my favorites “that’s a nice opinion to have, but not an answer to my question”.
I think it’s formulaic objections #18 where Steven Crowders is questioned and he tries his “debate me bro” techniques a couple of times and just runs into a wall with his face first. Like, why would you try something like this with a lawyer that has been working your case for months and generally does that shit for a living, do you think there will be a “gotcha” moment, because there.will absolutely be not.
And just for entertainment formulaic objections #3 is Roger Stone being deposed by a lawyer he has been aquatinted with for decades and they absolutely HATE each other, it’s just perfect. Both of them are terrible people and it’s just a delight listen to them being at each other’s throats, but in a legal setting. One highlight is “did you just call me a little bitch?” - “well you certainly act like one”. I laughed out loud more than once during this episode.
Oh yeah, Dans analyses is what carries this show. He is at his best when he is angrily swinging his Analysis like the sword of righteousness, those moments are just perfect.

Ha ha ha ha ha I’ll definitely be looking for that Roger Stone one 😁

And there’s always several of them in every episode.
