Segment City Episode 61 - The Emperor of the United States

Being the Emperor of the United States is a tough job. No one listens to your nonsensical, Congress just refuses to disband, and keeping up with the latest imperial fashions is tiring! But somehow Emperor Norton made it work and didn’t even make a buck off of it! This week on the podcast, the boys talk about the Dental Mafia, whether changing trends in movies, TV, games, etc. is a sign that we are getting better and creating better art or if it is just changing tastes, Theo ponders what the etiquette around handicap stalls should be, Will describes some weird crime articles including a man attempting to resell stolen electronics to the store owner he stole from, a 5 year old stealing a car to buy a Lambourgini, and a crazy woman leaving Easter eggs in people’s mailboxes with candy, toilet paper, religious writings, and porn in them. The boys then delve deep into AI Dungeon to lead Dingle the peasant as he fails upward into the seat of the Eleven King and Squaren the Squire following the cowardly Sir Theo who flips off peasants and pays dearly for it, and Will recounts the tale of Joshua Norton aka the Emperor of the United States who became a local spectacle in 1800s San Francisco.
