We're caught up to the 21st century, and anti-pornography lawyer Jack Thompson is now anti-video game lawyer Jack Thompson. He's about to add another new title to his resume: game developer.

For gamers of a certain age, the name Jack Thompson still provokes reflexive sneers. Despite being permanently disbarred almost 20 years ago, this former Florida lawyer still looms large when we look back and wonder why the gamers are Like That. We're going to be talking about the time the internet made Jack Thompson's dream game, but before we get there we have over a decade of litigation against radio and the music industry to get through. From openly gay liberal shock jock Neil Rogers to rap pioneer Luther Campbell of 2 Live Crew, Thompson spent the first part of his life being publicly humiliated by people way cooler than him.

One of the upsides of not having kids is not having to give a shit about childrens television. But back in the 2000s, a bunch of grown-ups got mad at Sesame Street for something they Children's Television Workshop didn't actually do because someone on the internet said it happened. Outrage is a sometimes food, and it's sometime!

Fredrick Brennan has created 8chan. You probably know the broad strokes of what happened next thanks to the work of many brave and talented journalists, but there's still some fun stories to be told in Fred's final years.

Today would have been Fredrick Brennan's 32nd birthday. He died in his sleep last month, so here's Fred's partner to memorialize the 8chan founder who realized he was wrong, got out, and did what he could to take down the monster he helped create.

His family wanted to keep the news private until now for personal reasons, so we recorded this a couple weeks after his death but are only releasing it now that the news has officially broken. Don't worry, there's no crying in the episode. Unfortunately, the audio quality is really bad because due to the circumstances Jay didn't get to record in his usual spot. I'm sorry that one of our most historically significant episodes is also one of our worst-sounding ones, but given the circumstances I hope you will forgive.

Don't let your mistakes define you! Anyways, check out this entire movie I made to prove how not-owned I am.

This was originally a bonus series we recorded in October of last year, the editing is a little looser than our usual.
