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 removed?" - "well you certainly act like one". I laughed out loud more than once during this episode.
