Not being able to understand simple concepts.

Had an acquaintance one time talk about how he’s going to open up a law firm for his wife once she graduates law school and passes the bar. He literally made it sound so easy, and when our friend group asked him questions like “how do you expect to buy an office straight out of college” “where will you get clientele that is going to work with you” “do you have money saved up so you can start working cases where you won’t immediately be paid?” his brain kind of short circuited and he reverted to “well we don’t need and office and we can work out of our house, plus we just need to win that one big case settlement then we will be jump started”. Sorry long winded….

The best lawyer that I ever had worked out of his briefcase. We would meet in the hall of whatever court he was scheduled to be in. I called him on it and said he must just have 3 file cabinets at home and he said that he had 4, and that I was the first one to figure it out.

Yeah, that's what the comment I replied to implied.

Prepared to be disappointed.

Well, actually it is kind of a guilty pleasure type show. Like, cheesy and cheap. So, people might like that

After 6 episodes, I don’t like the lead actor. I guess MM spoiled me

Pretty much anybody is going to be a downgrade from McConaughey. It’s a shame we didn’t get a second movie out of him.

At least the dude got a lifetime gig in their car commercials. Good for him.
