We work extremely hard to serve you guys the highest quality story reading content. Each video takes a lot of effort when it comes to thinking of topics, ideation, editing, voice-acting, recording, etc. All the content in these videos are owned by us!
Our Work Process:
1. Come up with questions, research, script, come up with opinions/commentary, polish until ready for recording.
2. Record voice acting the stories/questions, sharing thoughts and opinions and performing it in a creative and transformative fashion for viewers to enjoy.
3. Record gameplay until there is enough interesting footage to use for the background
4. Throw the gameplay in the editing software and then begin typing up the captions, cutting/trimming the voice acting, adding SFX, color correction, removing/adding clips, etc.
5. Final review of the video, if video is not up to the quality desired for this channel. Either go back into the editing software, re-record some lines, change opinions/commentaries.
As a lawyer, I have to say that zero of these are surprising.
Relatedly: if you’re ever on a jury, try not to assume anything about the case based on whether the defendant testifies. Lots of lawyers will strongly recommend that their clients not testify, usually because they are probably going to say something dumb. Not even necessarily related to the case. People say all kinds of dumb things or have a hard time communicating well when they’re nervous.
It should be COMMON SENSE that a defendant should never be on the stand unless they are capable of 100%not incriminating themselves. Sadly, just like a jury should have 0% doubt a defendant committed the crimes in question to convict, it is nearly impossible to have that 100% certainty with the defendant.
Yeah, and completely innocent people also say things on the stand that make themselves look guilty even when they’re not. Or just make people mad at them, like the guy in one of these stories who ran his mouth to say something anti-Semitic. Very often not worth it.
@@revolution724 9001%.
Interesting to see American system allows the client not to testify. In my country everyone must testify.
@@perrymerilsadly common sense is a flower that doesn't grow in everyone's garden.
"Jews always stick together." is the most laughable thing I have heard as a Jew in years. We ruin generation-long family friendships over home renevation TV shows, we aren't known for not holding grudges.
Lmao, right? I once saw some antisemite on here rambling and he said something like, "I know for a fact that all Jews agree that..." And I had to stop right there. When have "all Jews" collectively agreed on anything lol? Like debate isn't a significant tenet of Judaism.
I love bloons. So much so that the Juggernaut placement upset me alot
He also didn't start with his hero which is crazy to me
At least forgivable because they seem to be new based on the locked upgrades
At least he's playing the game and is finding it fun enough to put it in the video
@_eleb5302 No for sure you're right. Btd players just tend to be focused on what's optimal more than what's fun lol
@@DubYuhGChoppayes and?
Isnt that what everiwone does?
Crazy seeing BTD6 gameplay on this channel. Very welcome.
Eh... The games been dead for a long time.
I put about 100 hours into it and black bordered all available maps but like three.
I haven't bothered playing again because I had unlocked or beaten everything available.
Unless there was some major updates like this year, the games old as shit and tired.
All my opinion of course
@@FeedMeSalt new maps, bosses, heroes, mission modes, etc
@@irtehmrepic There was also that map maker, right?
@@LloydTheZephyrian yep, and it's incredibly robust now
6??? I hadn't played since like. Bloons 3 lol it's crazy I had no idea they kept making them
The person who is reading this comment, I wish you great success, health, love and happiness! ❤️
Thanks partner, all the best.
And same to you.
Thx
Thanks, back at you!
So far so good, same to you :)
Ohhhhh bloons gameplay!!! Nostalgia unlocked. Game sense activated.
7:25 “for five minutes, could you not be yourself? FOR FIVE MINUTES!“
Yknow for future reference itd be cool if the game being played was in the description. Like I know this BTD6 but a lot of other games here? Not a clue
Story 5- That sounds remarkably dense, but I use RFID scanners to find items at my job, and one of the older ones completely stopped working. I, of course, put it in the "not working" bin with a tag that said /that/ it was not working, and outlined (in writing) /how/ it wasn't working. Someone else took it out, took off the tag, and put it back with the "working" equipment. I had to repeat this several times over the course of months before people realized "wow, this thing literally does not turn on. I should leave it in the 'Not Working' bin." I can only imagine what would happen if it weren't a hand-held radio transponder, basically, and something that could actually do damage instead. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
4:50 - his MISOGYNY lost him lots of money.
Fuck yeah! Idk why, but lawyers are my favorite subject of ask Reddit threads, and having my favorite narrator reading makes it even better :)
I think the issue is that people think that online, only their direct friends and family can see what they post
Anyone else just judging the inefficiency of the BTD monkies?
Not a client, just a witness but was basically the one we were arguing for: never told us that all her medical notes were just taken from a boiler plate sheet and the client had never tried any of the other devices. Had we known that we might have been able to make it still work but as only the defense knew that we were ****ed when she got crossed on that.
...What, exactly, was it about that bailiff that would _possibly_ have given anyone the notion that he was dealing _in open court_ ? 🤦🏻
I'm guessing the bailiff had some drugs that were being used as evidence.
Story 14. Guy probably thought prison would be a break from his wife.
Man,that workman's comp case (story 55) where the company actually did the right thing. Wow! The client could have kept his salary, with raises, AND an allowance for health insurance. I would have jumped on it. You gotta wonder who said what to this client to think he'd get a better settlement when using his own gear. This is very sad, the client really needed that money dealing with an amputation but greed or something got the better of him.
The only thing that confuses me is what exactly lasts fifteen years? The entire retirement package or just the medical coverage? If the entire package only lasted fifteen years, I could see why he would want more than that. After fifteen years when the money dries up, he still won't have a foot and won't really be able to work in the same industry.
@knightmare39 To me, it sounded like the deal was to pay salary plus annual raises along with an allowance for insurance for 15 years until he reached retirement age and could collect Social Security. Yes, the client couldn't work, but he'd be collecting a salary to ensure no loss of income. Which is generous, considering it ended up not being employer negligence, but the employee's fault.
Story 18: how is anyone THAT stupid?! And stubborn!
Guy who destroys his own foot, gets greedy, loses everything. I love how the story adds with "He came CRAWLING back..."
can lawyers not put on their records "only lost cos client was a fucktard" to clarify they're not a bad lawyer haha
Your consistent efforts are paying off! -- "Dedication turns aspirations into reality.."
"parte" in ex parte is pronounced like "partay" like you're going to party in the 90s and trying (and failing) to be cool about it.
It means "from a party" meaning you meet the judge with only one side, away from the other side. It is almost always illegal, but with some specific exceptions, including the one in the case here. The exceptions aren't that rare, but you need to meet one or both the lawyer and the judge can get in trouble.
And FOIA is usually pronounced, not spelled. Like "foy-yah." It's Freedom Of Information Act. In New York, they call it Freedom of Information Law, or FOIL, which is a better acronym.
Thanks for the lesson on parte, I've heard the word but didn't know that was how it was spelled. I truly found it interesting 😊😊
Couple tips for if you’re going to use more bloons gameplay, turn off the tips, and get all your upgrades unlocked ahead of time. The strategy you use doesn’t matter much, as it’s just background content, but try to plan something ahead of time so you don’t end up clueless in the background footage.
Story 18.
Can't afford to golf more than once a month?! How outrageous. Have a heart. All he did was not able by his own rules. Let him play the world more boring and vacuuous sport whenever he wants.
"only two bottles of wine" is crazy
Whoever does these scripts needs to slow down. In a court story with circumstantial evidence where you’ve named the characters “D1, D2, D3” and D1 and 3 are halves of a couple who planned and committed a murder, it’s very important you don’t slip up and say, “we returned a not guilty for D1.” When you’ve just explained why it’s D2 who couldn’t be guilty due to burden of proof. Either take a second and reread these things, or give them full names. You guys make these mistakes way too often, and you’re getting paid too much to make them. The content is made by someone else for you, you’re compiling, editing, and reading them. So maybe we ought to do a good job on the editing and reading parts.
I've been thinking similar, since I watch the captions and the captions don't match sometimes, which is weird, because if they are reading a reddit story, all they have to do is copy and paste, but it looks a little like they are dictating that part
holy bloons
WAKE UP, UNDERSPARKED UPLOADED
I was involved in a car accident many decades ago. The insurance companies took the matter to court to see who was liable. The other driver claimed that he had a turn arrow and I had run a red light. I claimed that I had a green light. He also claimed that he was alone in the turning lane. I claimed that he was the third car in the turning lane and the first two cars had turned safely before I entered the intersection. He then proceeded to bring local traffic authority in as a witness, who then told the court that a turning arrow does not activate if there is only one car in the turning lane, and that car would have to wait for it to be safe from oncoming vehicles to turn. Completely shot himself in the foot. Couldn't have been the only car AND had a turning arrow.
"Comitt to the bit!!" hahaha fr!
The debt collector one was crazy, but not surprising.
My mom’s friend. Her client attacked a woman and the video went pretty viral. Not only was it on video, but the client then went on Dr. Phil to talk about the event.
A little advice for you, if you want a jury to hear you out, don’t go on national tv and talk about it.
19:11 The JURY was convicted? Wow, didn't see that one coming.
I recommend you use the quick shot cross path for the crossbow rather then sharper shots as it has a much higher damage output
Love these longer videos.
Finally! Bloons! Is anyone else questioning how he has nearly every tower unlocked and barely any upgrades unlocked?
Story 34:
Isn't that coaching? Something super illegal?
Story 15 .. Video calling into court while driving for driving without a license.
yoo btd6 gameplay
yay, another awesome video
Thank fuck haha 😂 I've been waiting for it feels like forever for your next video lol 😊
That prenup story I find hard to believe.
ive hard pretty tough stressful weeks but now it's comfy undersparked time yiippiiie
weird to be listening to this video, tab out of Bloons TD6 only to see you, reading these posts, also playing bloons TD6 by sheer consequence
ayyy new video!
Some people think they know better about the law than their lawyer
A DA best friend is someone on the defense who has a big and fragile ego.
great gameplay
My dude plays bloons likes he’s still in middle school playing btd3 on cool math games at school
Aah, I love Bloons!!!
Love the video but I miss the RDR horse background video 😭
I wasn‘t the lawyer but the prosecutor. A young nurse had forged vaccination documents for herself during the pandemic and was charged with forgery. It was a clear conviction. The only thing we were discussing whether her motives justified a stricter or more lenient sentence. Basically it was her and her lawyers job to explain why forgery was morally justified in this case. She started talking about existential anxiety. Knowing she was a nurse and she might have been worried about losing her job I asked her what she meant with existential anxiety. Thats when she went off on a long monologue whining about not being able to go to clubs and cafes and restaurants and how her life had become so miserable because of that. Her lawyer initially tried to interrupt her but she just kept talking and the lawyer just sunk into his chair. I asked her why she didn’t just get tested and go to restaurants like that (that was possible at the time of her crime) she answered that she got tested at her job everyday but on her days off it was so annoying to get tested. When I asked whether she considered it justified to risk other peoples’ and her patients’ lives just to avoid getting tested on her days off she once again whined and cried about how sad she was at home. I prosecuted dozens of these forgery cases and she got the highest sentence. The judge privately called it the asshole tax.
YOOO BLOONS
BTD6 background W
So a break dance competition is not for people that broke a body part?
*doesn't
I googled and googled. What the hell is an RTA?
Idk what it's in reference to exactly, so I'm just guessing based on possible legal context that RTA = Road traffic accident. I think in the UK we've moved away from saying 'accident' in this context, because it implies no single person at fault, so use 'incident' or 'collision' or similar (or at least, that's what Simon Pegg said in Hot Fuzz & frankly I'd trust him over most UK coppers any day lmao)
This might be petty but I'm very annoyed when there's a set topic and mfs are like "I'm not this topic, but..."
Then why bother saying anything?
8:08 god bless that worker. that man was misunderstanding the concepts and didnt want to be portrayed as weaker than he was.
No way, never thought I'd see you playing BTD 6. Please improve your placements though.
What is that game with the ballons?
Btd6 🤠
BTD6🤩🤩🤩🤩
BALLOONS TD GAMEPLAY!
Story 14 sounds fake
Holy shit I never knew that you were a based bloons player

1,000th like.
Is it possible to put trigger warnings on these things or certain parts of the video? I like watching these, but there will just suddenly be a grotesque story thrown into the middle of relatively funny ones. It's like whiplash and I'll stop watching because I don't want to be surprised by that stuff
No they shouldn't
@@tfordham13 considering I asked nicely, you don't have to be a jerk about someone making a request to help them enjoy the content more
@@grandmafrosty this would lower the qauilty
@@tfordham13 How? By being respectful of the fact that some people come here for fun, not gore? Lucky you that these things don't affect you. If putting a respectful statement is such a bother, maybe they should just not put those stories into the video in the first place. Again, I was asking nicely to bring to light the fact that those stories aren't appreciated
@grandmafrosty by Wasting time on irrelevant stuff that the large percentage doesn't care about
