Echo Chamber Post Game 80

LAWSUIT TORPEDOES OFF THE STARBOARD BOW!

In which it seems to me that I'm the Vinny Carravella of this podcast.

-Celebrity Deathmatch was the Attitude Era in a nutshell: Insane, violent and featuring Stone Cold Steve Austin. No, seriously, Steve Austin was a minor character.

Anyway, would this go down as well today? Well, not really. For one, all of our bloodlust is directed toward real people. Seriously, watch any politician on the Right and how they speak toward anyone who's not a rich white guy.

Second, back then, we didn't have the internet as a reassurance that "Yes, those celebrities DO suck", so we had to rely on MTV to be a outlet for indignace. Now we can Justin Bieber or Katy Perry faglords and douchebutts for that thrill.

-Shazam does have some sort algorihtm to it, but I'd like to think it was voodoo all along. How it works is that it recognizes moments of intensity, generating up to three reference points per second for each song, then compares that along a database of 8 million songs.

In fact, there's even a scientific paper of how it all works.

-And to finish, CRAZY BUS!!!


Oh... Oh Xenagos, no...
