First, the silver tongue of the Razorfist, pointing out all of the ways we were supposed to have been knee deep in WW3 by now: Secondly - I can't recommend listening to the Lawstream for everyone, and hearing transcripts are boring as hell, but there is something almost surreal when you do cartoon voices for the different lawyers. The Lemonfuhrer's dry, lungless gasp, and the bit where he has a lawyer voiced as slowpoke Rodriguez (a la speedy Gonzalez) questioning another voiced as Kermit the F…

It would be easy to turn this into the all-Sabaton, all the time channel, but they don't release stuff quite that often.
