Ehh. There's also the fact he's been tweeting all morning. And the car seems old. Lot of places don't use sedans for police shit anymore. Especially not something like a Crown Vic

Not to mention it doesn't look anything like him in today's age. He's too thin, he looks too young and if he was really arrested, like you said WHO took his picture and HOW and WHY would they post it on his Twitter? Me, I think he did this to chase clout and I have no doubt he will call it a joke and be right back to being his normal terrible old self not too long after.
Yeah, I had a feeling he was just clout chasing. What a pathetic attention seeking loser.

I think he's doing it because of the Liam stream with @MikeyNohMore . Just a hunch.Not to mention it doesn't look anything like him in today's age.

You have no room to talk, you tried to make me look like a genuine POS. You are exactly what we are talking about.
I was trying to give you actual advice. Try completing your thoughts before you start typing. Condense your idea and say less words. Your style can be difficult to follow for a reader.

After the video you tried to make about me as well as the stuff you say about me which isn't even true by the way, you are the last person I would listen to involving advice. And if what I said to you was too long to you, that's your problem.
I personally use Grok as a search engine. Much more reliable than Google or Brave, at least in my opinion.So I asked Brave (https://search.brave.com/search?q=e...92927f872bd0d07ccefd33f64d9e8ec94c5&summary=1):

Transcript:
Hi everyone, it's your boy Zach. So, um, something amazing happened yesterday. Um, I actually agreed.
Well, I didn't quite agree with them until this morning when someone said a similar thing about annuals in my own comments. So, Perch did a funny thing yesterday where he's like, this isn't gonna be another one of those old man hates everything letters. And then it was like, Dear Perch, annuals are bullshit.
It was some great comedic timing. Um, but, uh, anyway, um, so, uh, the guy didn't like annuals because they're more expensive and nothing really happens in them. Nothing of importance.
And I've made recent complaints about, like, nobody would complain that a random issue of David Michelini, Todd McFarlane, Spider-Man was just like him stopping a bad guy. Like it, it wasn't building to some sort of end game or, you know, big doomsday. What is the doomsday movie called? I don't know.
Um, but there's been this myth that's been pushed into fandom in the last few years that everything has to build to some sort of massive event. When back in the day, events were like an annoyance. Like Peter David was very open every single year.
He's like, I gotta write X-Factor into some bullshit. Freaking crossover. Um, the crossovers actually started very, um, grassroots.
It was literally like Louise Simonson, Chris Claremont, and Anna Santee saying like, hey, let's do something fun in the summer. So annuals typically, typically come out in the summer. They're going to be, um, longer, uh, with, you know, a higher price.
And I totally understand if you hate annuals now because everything's woke and it wants to kill you and everything's bad and everything lost a hundred million dollars. Um, but, um, I had a really great introduction to, uh, annuals. And for the previous years, then I found out about, you know, comic book stores with back issues.
So initially I had a very positive view of, uh, annuals. So I think, uh, this was the one that, uh, Perch mentioned. Um, but there was this like really generational run on, uh, X-Men annuals in the, uh, uh, late eighties that is, it's really unmatched.
And I think they found the sweet spot for what an annual should be. It shouldn't just be a generic longer story where a Stuart Eminen clone draws, you know, Spider-Man against a villain with electrical powers, but who isn't electro. By the way, I'm still watching Spider Noir and it's excellent.
Um, so this is X-Men annual number nine and you got this. God, I love this. I love when they just have a page just to show everyone.
And since it's Claremont, sometimes he'll, he'll write like Dramatis Personae. But yeah, just basically like here's them by an excellent, so I'm not going to bury the lead. I believe annuals should be for excellent artists who can't hit a monthly schedule.
Um, which, you know, that's out or Alan, is this Alan Gordon? Just because that's right. I don't know who Alan Gordon is. Um, Arthur Adams.
Um, uh, but because usually one of the arguments against like, you know, DC Marvel crossovers is they don't actually take place usually in either universe. They're not in the DC universe most of the time. They're like in this weird, you know, cross universe and then there'll never be any references to it again.
Like at least with Spawn Batman, he had the freaking shoelaces in his face, which was from repairing an injury from the Batarang. Um, but like Spider-Man will meet Superman and then just never mentioned again. Um, uh, so they end up being stories that don't matter.
And like the ending to like every single freaking DC Marvel crossover is like, oh, they're friends or well, they're not friends, but they respect each other. It's never like fucking asshole. That guy was a bitch.
I did everything, which would be hilarious. Um, and then like when they're walking away, it's like, you say something, it's like, I said a lot of things be specific. And then they get, they just get in another fight.
Um, but, uh, yeah, so I'm just going to scroll through this so you can see like, please look at the screen. This was like, now this was before I started collecting, but once I found out like X-Men annuals were cool and annuals were cool, I could go to the comic book store and, uh, by the way, that's a lot of words. So there's a whole new generation discovering, uh, comics in the last couple of years.
Um, it's funny, they tried so hard for it five to 10 years ago, they weren't successful. Then they didn't try at all. Just some cool things came out and like a whole new generation.
So there's a whole generation of people in their twenties discovering Chris Claremont and being like, holy fuck, was he paid by the word? By the way, please look at the screen. This is one of my favorite effects in all of comics in which you just, a guy spends a whole afternoon putting excruciating detail and then the color is just colors them all the same color. Now you might think this is lazy or it diminishes them, but it actually unifies them and allows you to focus on them.
Uh, whereas if he was individually, especially the small size, if he was individually coloring their hair and the skin and the clothing and they're accoutrement and they're dragon. I had so much fun going through like this, this speed run of just the crazy shit that is actually in continuity with Daredevil and why he's so fun as compared to black superheroes at DC who just get to be really nice guys who other people like and they're a teacher or a social worker. I especially loved peppering it with, and he loves pussy just like every third thing.
And he's like, no, you don't get it. He doesn't like pussy. He loves pussy.
But anyway, yeah. So you just get this, uh, a great, uh, storyline. Now there was things where, you know, there would be a ton of, uh, detail on some pages.
And then usually like at the end, it would kind of flame out and it would just, it would be like a different anchor or less backgrounds. But generally since they could plan ahead and there wasn't a monthly schedule, um, you would get like some really high quality stories with good art now. Yes.
I wouldn't say they generally mattered, but sometimes they did. I mean, uh, if I'm just going to throw stuff out there randomly, storm got to wield Yolnir in an annual, and that was like a huge part of her character. The ex babies I believe were introduced.
And yeah, so this is like the next summer. So just imagine collecting comics and, you know, Arthur Adams, he can't really handle a monthly schedule, but every summer you're going to get an awesome for like multiple summers in a row, you're either going to get an annual or a one shot. Like there was an Excalibur one shot one time.
It was basically an annual, but it wasn't annual. And then even if it isn't Art Adams, it's, uh, Alan Davis, man, this was a good one. I think this is one of the first ones I actually got at a comic book store.
I was like, Oh shit. This is where he's explaining where he can't actually get drunk. He just kind of pretends to be drunk.
Like when you're a kid and you have like alcohol free wine at Thanksgiving and you don't know what being drunk is. So you just think it's being really dizzy. Um, uh, but, uh, always Zipitone.
There's always room for Zipitone in any situation. It always fits. Even when it doesn't fit, it fits as long as there isn't moire or more, as I say in my head, look, it's even a little different type.
Oh, so cute. Um, but yeah, this is, this is back before Psylocke was a bisexual Asian Ninja and she was just really, really scared because being a superhero was incredibly fucking dangerous. Um, God, look at this.
And this, and it was more expensive, but it wasn't, it wasn't rip off prices. It was basically, um, what is the word? Not perspective. Proportional to the amount of extra pages.
So you see here, this is, this is the summer I started reading comics. This is what I got. This was my, it was my first X-Men book, but it was one of the first.
And it was just like, this shit's fucking awesome. Please look at the screen. This page alone.
And again, not usually, they're not establishing a lot of new stuff in the annuals because they were considered to be in continuity, but they were not the monthly book. The monthly book is where stuff happened. I will always remember Dazzler using her power to fly and then just never doing it again.
We had a, I had a long conversation with a friend about a long, uh, long-term, uh, theory of mine, that the Rocketeer died literally the next day after the events of the movie. He just got up. He's like, Oh, I'm gonna do a little, you know, obstacle course.
And then he just crashed into something at 300 miles per hour. And he died because there was no safety protocols. What's something headfirst at 300 miles per hour.
So we were joking that all of the sequels to the Rocketeer just would have been other people being the Rocketeer. So the Rocketeer two was literally about the second Rocketeer. And so there'd be this whole like core of people getting trained up and lasting sometimes literally five minutes.
Like Rocketeer three would literally be like, I'll be the best Rocketeer of them all. And then he immediately flies into a tree and they just roll credits. It's like this movie was full price.
Um, but yeah, please look at the screen. This type of detail is rare in, uh, comics, modern comics. Now, Kirby would do it, but he would freehand it.
And no, this is like all in perspective perfectly and even curved things and irregular curves, which is, this is this, and this is a panel or page. This is a panel. This is a day or two, probably in an entire day, but like a busy day.
Um, I love when like a non-technical person is doing technical things. Like, you know, you know, Colossus has to look at the keyboard. He's hitting all the wrong letters.
He's like, I meant to press Q. He's pressing like T. Um, but ads, I saw somebody complain about the amount of ads in Daredevil on a TikTok. And, um, I was like, quit being a baby. There was always ad.
It was like every second page. I don't even think there was three pages in a row without an ad. It was crazy.
Um, but typically there would be a good amount and Marvel trusted that you weren't a moron, but DC thought you were an idiot. So on page five, there would be like two pages of ads and it would say continued on page eight. Like you just thought the story just ended.
Um, but I hope you're looking at the screen the entire time. I will call shenanigans on this. I don't like this.
No, not black people. I don't like when someone who doesn't use photo reference suddenly uses photo reference. It's very obvious every single time they do it.
Like this is clearly, he found a picture of an actual guy and then made him into gateway. Um, but God, such, such a good adventure. Oh, everyone always talks about Wolverine's savage land bastard.
Nobody brings up Colossuses. God, Annihilus. Look at this.
So stupid. I love it. I'm going to build a giant, a giant man-shaped robot and then get immediately washed by Dazzler.
What the hell? But yeah, this was my, my introduction to, uh, Annihilus and the X-Men pretty much. So the next summer, they're not all going to be winners. Atlantis Attacks.
Am I saying all the words wrong? I'm not having a stroke, I swear. Atlantis Attacks. Um, yeah.
This is a way to spot a fake fan. If anyone's like, oh my God, I loved Atlantis Attacks. Nobody did.
Nobody did. There were some good John Byrne covers. That was it.
Um, like I said, they can't all be winners. And the main story here is like this. What the fuck is that? So yeah, so there, there, and the thing is there would be a lot of these.
I would say generally it was like this. It was like a story that was in continuity, but didn't matter by people like you weren't excited about. Then here it is 1990 and we get, I gotta look this up.
It was either a week apart or the same week that, uh, Gambit was introduced in two different. And he had extra time so he could just put tassels on a fricking Zorro hat for like two pages and then do like, this is what I like. This is not a likeness.
It's a caricature, but everyone knows these three guys are the guys from RoboCop. Um, this one was a fun one. Crossover with the Fantastic Four.
Um, I don't like Psy Powers. I was, was annoyed by Franklin Richards, but we got to see the X Factor uniform on Cyclops and Jean Grey. Um, oh yeah, this is it.
God, this page, this page is just freaking perfection. So it's Gambit and then he immediately meets Cable and both of them look amazing. We've got the, uh, hazard lights going on there.
Awesome. So let me, let me go through this. This generational run did not last forever, but so what? Okay.
Yeah. Next year it was. Yeah.
Next year wasn't that great. It was, I mean, I remember, I like this, I like this because they were focusing on new warriors. So that was cool.
And, um, but yeah, that's, that wasn't that great. So I think the run is, yeah, this one was also just kind of okay. I mean, it was cool to see Jay Lee when he was developing that style that he said he's, he literally forgot how to draw that way.
Um, so this one was kind of cool. I have all these memories attached to like when these came out. So yeah, Jason Pearson.
I was staying at the NYU dorms, but not going to NYU. Is this a thing at any other college? This is like 1993 and the dorms were mostly empty during the summer because rich kids go to NYU. So they're at Ibiza.
So it was just basically like a hostel for the summer. Um, but yeah, so I, I went to the, uh, what was it? Forbidden Planet. And that was, that was a fun summer.
It was, it was actually pretty cheap. You could just live right there in New York city. And it's not like you had to be a college student at like a different college.
Although I don't know what they did. It's like a 55 year old bum came up. I don't remember any old people.
It was all college age people, but not students of the university. And it wasn't like a, like we were trying it out or we were even auditing classes. Like you stayed at the NYU dorms and you ate at the chow hall, which was actually very nice.
Um, yeah, so we see the next, uh, I think, I think this over go over to, yeah, it's like Caliban. It's like, okay. I mean, it's, it's good art, but it's freaking Caliban.
So yeah, it didn't last long. I had a great intro to annuals, especially the X-Men ones. Um, but, uh, uh, I'm not going to call you a sad old man.
If you hate annuals, because there's a lot of reason to, they're usually just kind of longer stories, a little bit more expensive, like an okay artist and okay. There was a weird thing in the Daredevil books where like, I forgot to get it ready, but like it was one of the editors. He just owned the Daredevil stories in all the Daredevil annuals for like years.
And he would even bring back like Anne Nesenti characters after she was gone. It's like that little, like the little rascals gang that Daredevil used to run around with. And those two dopey, like the wet bandits they had from like, nobody, you didn't like those characters.
You liked Anne Nesenti and John Romita Jr. doing that. But like, they're like, I don't remember those characters names. It was literally just got with a guy with a trench coat and another guy.
There would be like 10 page backup stories with them by like Glenn Gurgling or something, some shit like that. But anyway, yeah, so they definitely fall off very quickly after around the early 90s. They don't really come back.
So hominis dominus, as we used to say in the Marines, go and sin no more. I give you permission sad old men to hate annuals because they kind of suck. They could be cool, but they're not used generally in a way that is cool.
They're just basically whatever stories by whatever artists. So, and no, this isn't sarcasm. I did a huge, you know, promotion of one of Wes's videos and I had to like, and I, and I did it.
A long time commenter and I'm assuming bought my books. I was like, Hey, don't do this stupid shit where you're like, are you trolling Zach? It's like, I will block you. And somebody tested me and I blocked them.
But, uh, Adam Polina cover, uh, Duncan Rouleau. It was a thing. Anyway, I'm very hungry.
Thanks for watching. Bye.

What the hell? But yeah, this was my, my introduction to, uh, Annihilus and the X-Men pretty much. So the next summer, they're not all going to be winners. Atlantis Attacks.
Am I saying all the words wrong? I'm not having a stroke, I swear. Atlantis Attacks. Um, yeah.
This is a way to spot a fake fan. If anyone's like, oh my God, I loved Atlantis Attacks. Nobody did.
Nobody did. There were some good John Byrne covers. That was it.
Um, like I said, they can't all be winners. And the main story here is like this. What the fuck is that? So yeah, so there, there, and the thing is there would be a lot of these.
I would say generally it was like this. It was like a story that was in continuity, but didn't matter by people like you weren't excited about. Then here it is 1990 and we get, I gotta look this up.
It was either a week apart or the same week that, uh, Gambit was introduced in two different. And he had extra time so he could just put tassels on a fricking Zorro hat for like two pages and then do like, this is what I like. This is not a likeness.
It's a caricature, but everyone knows these three guys are the guys from RoboCop. Um, this one was a fun one. Crossover with the Fantastic Four.
Um, I don't like Psy Powers. I was, was annoyed by Franklin Richards, but we got to see the X Factor uniform on Cyclops and Jean Grey. Um, oh yeah, this is it.
God, this page, this page is just freaking perfection. So it's Gambit and then he immediately meets Cable and both of them look amazing. We've got the, uh, hazard lights going on there.
Awesome. So let me, let me go through this. This generational run did not last forever, but so what? Okay.
Yeah. Next year it was. Yeah.
Next year wasn't that great. It was, I mean, I remember, I like this, I like this because they were focusing on new warriors. So that was cool.
And, um, but yeah, that's, that wasn't that great. So I think the run is, yeah, this one was also just kind of okay. I mean, it was cool to see Jay Lee when he was developing that style that he said he's, he literally forgot how to draw that way.
Um, so this one was kind of cool. I have all these memories attached to like when these came out. So yeah, Jason Pearson.
I was staying at the NYU dorms, but not going to NYU. Is this a thing at any other college? This is like 1993 and the dorms were mostly empty during the summer because rich kids go to NYU. So they're at Ibiza.
So it was just basically like a hostel for the summer. Um, but yeah, so I, I went to the, uh, what was it? Forbidden Planet. And that was, that was a fun summer.
It was, it was actually pretty cheap. You could just live right there in New York city. And it's not like you had to be a college student at like a different college.
Although I don't know what they did. It's like a 55 year old bum came up. I don't remember any old people.
It was all college age people, but not students of the university. And it wasn't like a, like we were trying it out or we were even auditing classes. Like you stayed at the NYU dorms and you ate at the chow hall, which was actually very nice.
Um, yeah, so we see the next, uh, I think, I think this over go over to, yeah, it's like Caliban. It's like, okay. I mean, it's, it's good art, but it's freaking Caliban.
So yeah, it didn't last long. I had a great intro to annuals, especially the X-Men ones. Um, but, uh, uh, I'm not going to call you a sad old man.
If you hate annuals, because there's a lot of reason to, they're usually just kind of longer stories, a little bit more expensive, like an okay artist and okay. There was a weird thing in the Daredevil books where like, I forgot to get it ready, but like it was one of the editors. He just owned the Daredevil stories in all the Daredevil annuals for like years.
And he would even bring back like Anne Nesenti characters after she was gone. It's like that little, like the little rascals gang that Daredevil used to run around with. And those two dopey, like the wet bandits they had from like, nobody, you didn't like those characters.
You liked Anne Nesenti and John Romita Jr. doing that. But like, they're like, I don't remember those characters names. It was literally just got with a guy with a trench coat and another guy.
There would be like 10 page backup stories with them by like Glenn Gurgling or something, some shit like that. But anyway, yeah, so they definitely fall off very quickly after around the early 90s. They don't really come back.
So hominis dominus, as we used to say in the Marines, go and sin no more. I give you permission sad old men to hate annuals because they kind of suck. They could be cool, but they're not used generally in a way that is cool.
They're just basically whatever stories by whatever artists. So, and no, this isn't sarcasm. I did a huge, you know, promotion of one of Wes's videos and I had to like, and I, and I did it.
A long time commenter and I'm assuming bought my books. I was like, Hey, don't do this stupid shit where you're like, are you trolling Zach? It's like, I will block you. And somebody tested me and I blocked them.
But, uh, Adam Polina cover, uh, Duncan Rouleau. It was a thing. Anyway, I'm very hungry.
Thanks for watching. Bye.

I'll never understand why he does this. Just comes up with the dumbest alternate stories for well known characters, and thinks those should be the actual thing.
