Justin Roiland is mostly known for being the co-creator of Rick and Morty. Now he’s mostly known for what he’s being accused of online and in court. Today, I go over the charges against him and the upcoming trial surrounding it, as well as very strange alleged DMs between him and other people. To top if off, I’ll be playing you leaked audio from his old podcast where he says some.. questionable things, at best, and discussing him and Dan Harmon’s dark past when it comes to comedy. Let me know what you all think of this situation. I hope you all enjoy!
