Chelsea Transfer News: Torino 'laughing' at £23m bid for Davide Zappacosta

CHELSEA will be paying way over the odds to sign Davide Zappacosta from Torino, says James Horncastle.

Chelsea are determined to land defenders before deadline day and Zappacosta is available. The wing-back played 29 games for Torino last season but a change in formation means he isn't needed this term.

Antonio Conte has already missed out on signing Alex Sandro and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain as he seeks to bolster his wing-back positions.

A £23million bid for Zappacosta has been launched in the hope Conte can sign the Italy international before today's 11pm deadline.

And journalist Horncastle told talkSPORT Torino will not refuse that deal. Conte was the first manager to call Zappacosta up to the Italy squad," he said.

"He's a wing-back but has lost his place at Torino int he last season because the manager has gone to a back four. "He's a little bit too attacking to play as a normal full-back.

"But he's still someone who is trusted not only by Antonio Conte but also Italy's current manager Gian Piero Ventura. He likes to play with a 3-5-2 formation.

"This time last year on deadline day when Chelsea signed Marcos Alonso I was more positive on that than a lot of other people.

"It was clear Alonso had had a very good season for Fiorentina and really fitted the brief of what Antonio Conte wanted.

"Zappacosta is an OK player but for €25m (£23m), Torino to some extent are laughing all the way to the bank. "To get that kind of price for a player who isn't a starter for them is pretty damn good.

Man Utd transfer news: Ed Woodward apologised to player after deal fell through

The MEN say there's still a chance Jose Mourinho might sanction his - and others' - departures in January.  United have had a relatively quiet deadline day with Matty Willock the only mover.  He's completed a season-long loan move to Dutch side Utrecht.

The Manchester Evening News say the unnamed squad member met his representatives to discuss a move away.  However, a deal hasn't gone through because the club's valuation put off prospective buyers. 

The player in question was set to move in January but he eventually stayed put.    When a deal didn't happen, chief executive Ed Woodward is said to have apologised to the player for denying him a transfer. 

Ins: Romelu Lukaku (Everton, £75m), Victor Lindelof (Benfica, £30.75m), Nemanja Matic (Chelsea, undisclosed), Zlatan Ibrahimovic (free),  

Outs: Wayne Rooney (Everton, undisclosed), Zlatan Ibrahimovic (released), Adnan Januzaj (Real Sociedad, £9.8 milion), Josh Harrop (Preston, undisclosed),

Regan Poole (Northampton, loan), Sam Johnstone (Aston Villa, loan), Dean Henderson (Shrewsbury, loan), Devonte Redmond (Scunthorpe, loan), Cameron Borthwick-Jackson (Leeds, loan), Timothy Fosu-Mensah (Crystal Palace, loan), Matty Willock (Utrecht, loan).

>> WELCOME TO THIS EDITION

OF "CBN NEWS SHOWCASE."

MARK MARTIN IS ON

ASSIGNMENT.

WHILE THOUSANDS GATHERED

TO WITNESS THE SUN

DISAPPEAR BEHIND THE MOON

IN A TOTAL ECLIPSE,

CAITLIN BURKE WENT TO ONE

THE NASA-APPROVED VIEWING

SITES TO CAPTURE THE

EXCITEMENT OF THE ONCE IN

A LIFETIME SOLAR EVENT.

>> Reporter: THE COUNTRY

PAUSED ON MONDAY, LOOKING

UP TO THE HEAVENS,

WITNESSING THE FIRST TOTAL

ECLIPSE IN MORE THAN 100

YEARS.

>> A PART OF THE EARTH

WILL ACTUALLY SEE THE

MOON'S SHADOW CAST ACROSS

IT.

>> Caitlin: LINCOLN

CITY, OREGON, WAS THE

FIRST STOP FOR TOTALITY,

THE EVENT TURNING DAY

TONIGHT.

TOTALITY SPREAD ACROSS THE

U.S. AT AN AVERAGE OF

1800 MILES AN HOUR.

THE TIMING OF THE EVENT IN

EACH CITY PREDICTED WITHIN

FRACTIONS OF A SECOND.

IN CARBONDALE, ILLINOIS,

THE SO-CALLED CAPITAL OF

THE ECLIPSE, CLOUDS ALMOST

RUINED THE SHOW, BUT IT

PEEKED THROUGH IN THE

FINAL FEW SECONDS.

>> NO WAY.

>> NO WORDS.

IT WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

>> Caitlin: HERE IN

HAMPTON ROADS, THOUSANDS

OF PEOPLE SHOWED UP AT A

NASA-APPROVED VIEWING

SITE.

THEY BROUGHT THEIR

TELESCOPES SO PEOPLE COULD

GET AN UP-CLOSE LOOK AT

THIS HISTORIC EVENT.

>> THIS IS A GREAT PART OF

HISTORY RIGHT NOW.

THIS IS NOT GOING TO

HAPPEN FOR A LONG TIME.

I WANTED TO BE ABLE TO

WITNESS THIS FIRSTHAND,

RIGHT HERE.

PRETTY COOL.

>> Caitlin: NOT EVERYONE

VIEWED THE ECLIPSE USING

GLASSES.

TELL US HOW THIS WORKS?

>> BASICALLY THERE IS A

PIN HOLE UP HERE.

IT IS AN OLD CAMERA

OBSCURE EFFECT.

IT HITS THE PIN HOLE AND

GOES THROUGH HERE.

AND WHAT YOU SEE IS THE

OUTLINE OF THE SUN, AND

YOU CAN SEE IT BEING

ECLIPSED.

SO IT IS A SAFE WAY TO

LOOK AT THE ECLIPSE, AND

ESSENTIALLY THIS IS THE

REVERSE.

IT IS THE ACTUAL

PHOTOGRAPHIC REVERSE.

IT IS BASED ON THE

PRINCIPLE OF EVERY ANALOG

CAMERA EVER MADE.

>> Caitlin: AND CBN NEWS

WAS ALSO LIVE AT THE SPACE

MUSEUM IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

AS VISITORS VIEWED THE

ECLIPSE THROUGH A

TELESCOPE STUN-GUN, WHICH

PROJECTED A LARGER IMAGE

OF THE SUN.

>> I'M GLAD WE HAVE THESE

GLASSES.

WE STOOD IN LINE FOREVER.

IT IS HOT, AND I WAS GOING

TO GET OUT, BUT WE STUCK

TO IT.

>> Caitlin: PRESIDENT

TRUMP VIEWED THE ECLIPSE

FROM WASHINGTON AS WELL.

NASA REPORTED 4.4 MILLION

PEOPLE WERE WATCHING ITS

TV COVERAGE MID-RAY

THROUGH THE ECLIPSE.

THE BIGGEST LIVE STREAM

EVENT IN THE SPACE

AGENCY'S HISTORY.

IF YOU MISSED THE ECLIPSE,

CHANCES ARE GOOD YOU CAN

STILL CATCH THE NEXT ONE.

THE NEXT TOTAL ECLIPSE FOR

NORTH AMERICA IS IN 2024.

CAITLIN BURKE, CBN NEWS.

>> WELL, THE BOOK OF

JOSHUA TELLS THE STORY OF

THE DAY WHEN THE SUN STOOD

STILL.

AND IT IS NOT THE ONLY

TIME WHEN SIGNS IN THE

HEAVENS PLAYED A BIG ROLE

IN THE BIBLE.

SO WHAT ABOUT THIS TOTAL

ECLIPSE?

WAS THERE A DEEPER MEANING

BEHIND IT?

CBN'S CHRIS MITCHELL GIVES

US A CLOSER LOOK.

>> Chris: ONE OF TEN

PLAGUES, THREE DAYS OF

DARKNESS OVER EGYPT BEFORE

THE EXODUS.

>> THE JEWISH PEOPLE

DESCRIBE IT AS A DARKNESS

SO THICK THE EYPTIANS

COULDN'T MOVE IN IT.

>> THE SUN GOD WAS ONE OF

THE MAJOR GODS -- THE

MAJOR GOD, I THINK.

HE SAID, MY GOD COVERING

YOUR GOD.

>> Chris: MANY BELIEVE

THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE

JOSHUA FOUGHT THE BATTLE

WITH THE FIVE KINGS OF THE

IMRIGHTS, AND WHEN HE SAID

TO THE LORD, SUN, STAND

STILL, AND MOON OVER

GIBION.

>> WHATEVER THE DARKNESS

WAS, IT WASN'T AN ECLIPSE.

WE HAVE NO EXPLANATION OF

WHAT IT WAS, OR EVEN WHAT

IT MEANT.

BUT IT CERTAINLY WOULD

HAVE INVOKED IN THE PEOPLE

THAT WERE THERE THE SENSE

OF SOMETHING MONUMENTAL

HAPPENING, WHICH INDEED IT

WAS.

>> Chris: GOD DEFINITELY

MADE POINTS WITH SIGNS IN

THE SKY THROUGHOUT THE

BIBLE.

BUT IS HE STILL DOING THE

SAME THING TODAY?

>> IN ROMANS 1, IT TELLS

US THAT GOD HAS ORDERED

THE WORLD IN SUCH A WAY

THAT THE HEARTS OF MAN CAN

KNOW THAT GOD EXISTS JUST

BY THE WAY NATURE WORKS.

SO DOES HE USE NATURE TO

TALK TO HIS PEOPLE?

HE DOES.

>> IT IS A FUNDAMENTAL

BELIEF IN JUDAISM THAT

EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN

THE WORLD IS FOR A

MEANING, AND THERE IS A

MESSAGE HIDDEN IN THERE

SOMEWHERE.

EVEN IN ASTRONOMICAL

PHENOMENON.

INTERPRETING THE MESSAGE,

OF COURSE, IS A LITTLE

MORE PROBLEMATIC.

>> Chris: STEVE BRIDGE

SAYS GOD ALREADY GAVE HIS

BIGGEST SIGN.

>> THE BIGGEST WAY GOD

SPEAKS IS THROUGH HIS SUN.

INFORMER TIMES, GOD SPOKE

IN MANY AND VARIOUS WAYS

THROUGH THE PROPHETS.

IN THESE LAST DAYS, HE HAS

SPOKEN THROUGH THIS SON.

FOR US, JESUS IS THE

REVELATION.

JESUS IS THE WORD MADE

FLESH.

JESUS IS THE ULTIMATE

SIGN.

SO WE SHOULD BE LOOKING TO

HIM.

>> Chris: SPIRO SAYS

JUDAISM FOCUSES ON HOW

CURRENT EVENTS CONNECT

WITH PROPHECY, RATHER THAN

SIGNS IN THE SKY.

>> THE RABBIS ALWAYS TALK

ABOUT THE COMING OF THE

MESSIAH AS A WOMAN GIVING

BIRTH, AND THE BIRTH

PAINS.

JUST AS A WOMAN GIVING

BIRTH GOES THROUGH

CONTRACTIONS AS THEY GET

CLOSER AND CLOSER AS YOU

APPROACH THE EVENT, SO,

TOO, WILL EVENTS ON THE

PLANET EARTH HAPPEN MUCH

MORE RAPIDLY.

AND CERTAINLY WE SEE THAT

THINGS ARE SPEEDING UP

VERY DRAMATICALLY IN THE

WORLD.

THE CHANGE THAT IS TAKING

PLAGUES, THE POLITICAL

UPHEAVAL AND THE

TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES.

>> Chris: ONE SCRIPTURE

COMES FROM THE BOOK OF

JOEL: "THE SUN SHALL BE

TURNED INTO DARKNESS AND

THE MOON INTO BLOOD BEFORE

THE GREAT AND AWESOME DAY

OF THE LORD."

>> WE GET THIS PICTURE

FROM GOD'S WORD HE WILL

USE THOSE KINDS OF SIGNS

IN THE SKY TO SPEAK TO HIS

PEOPLE AND TO SPEAK TO THE

EARTH.

AND HOW DO WE KNOW WHICH

IS WHICH?

BECAUSE SOMETIMES I THINK

WE WANT TO CONNECT GOD TO

EVERYTHING THAT TAKES

PLACE, AND SOMETIMES GOD

JUST WANTS TO SHOW HE IS

IN NATURE, AND NOT TO SAY,

WATCH OUT, SOMETHING IS

GETTING READY TO HAPPEN.

>> MOON TURNING TO BLOOD

IS CALLED THE BLOOD MOON.

AND WHEN YOU HAVE THE

SOLAR ECLIPSE, THE SUN

DISAPPEARS AND TURNS TO

BLACKNESS.

THERE IN THE PROPHETS, IT

IS TALKING ABOUT SIGNS

THAT WE SEE IN THE END

DAYS.

WHETHER THAT IS WHAT IT IS

MEANT TO BE INTERPRETED

THAT, IS THE BIG QUESTION.

>> Chris: WE'RE

CURRENTLY AT 5777, AND THE

MESSIAH IS SUPPOSED TO

COME BY 6,000.

>> THE REBIRTH OF THE

STATE OF ISRAEL, THE

REUNIFICATION OF

JERUSALEM, AND WE JUST

CELEBRATED THE 50th

ANNIVERSARY OF THAT.

THAT IS PROPHECY COMING

TRUE BEFORE OUR EYES.

THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD

LINING UP AGAINST ISRAEL.

AND WHAT YOU SEE GOING ON

IN UNESCO AND THE UNITED

NATIONS IS CLEARLY A SIGN.

>> Chris: HOW DO THESE

LEADERS RECOMMEND WE VIEW

THE ECLIPSE?

>> WE'RE ONLY A FEW

HEADLINES AWAY FROM DIRECT

CONVERGENCE OF THE

BIBLICAL END OF THE DAY

SCENARIO WITH THE

HEADLINES IN THE NEWS

TODAY.

THAT TO ME AND I THINK TO

MOST JEWS, IT IS MORE

IMPACTFUL IN WAKING PEOPLE

UP TO THEIR REDEMPTION

THAN CELESTIAL SIGNS

HAPPENING UP ABOVE IN THE

HEAVENS.

>> WE NEED TO PREPARE OUR

HEARTS AND CONTINUE TO ASK

GOD TO SHOW US, IS THIS

YOU?

ARE YOU SPEAKING TO YOUR

PEOPLE?

ARE YOU SPEAKING TO THE

EARTH?

I THINK HE'LL TELL MORE

THAN ONE PERSON THIS IS

HIM SPEAKING TO THE WHOLE

EARTH.

>> WE NEED TO BE CAUTIOUS,

FIX OUR EYES ON JESUS,

HOLD TO THE SCRIPTURE, AND

KEEP PROCLAIMING THE

MYSTERY AND THE PROFOUND

VICTORY OF THE LIFE,

DEATH, AND RESURRECTION OF

JESUS CHRIST.

>> Chris: CHRIS

>> Charlene: MONGOLIA IS

ONE OF THE REMOTEST

REGIONS OF THE WORLD, AND

VERY FEW PEOPLE THERE HAVE

EVER HEARD OF JESUS

CHRIST.

BUT A RUSSIAN CHRISTIAN

TEAM RECENTLY WENT TO THE

REGION TO SPREAD GOOD NEWS

OF THE GOSPEL.

AND CBN'S GEORGE THOMAS

HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF

ESCORTING THE TEAM ON ITS

MISSIONARY JOURNEY.

>> George: MONGOLIA IS

KNOWN AS THE LAND OF THE

BLUE SKY.

THAT'S BECAUSE PEOPLE HERE

ENJOY MORE THAN 250 SUNNY

DAYS A YEAR.

LANDLOCKED BETWEEN CHINA

AND RUSSIA, IT IS ONE OF

THE WORLD'S LEAST DENSELY

POPULATED COUNTRIES.

WITH JUST OVER THREE

MILLION PEOPLE.

MORE THAN HALF LIVE IN THE

BUSTLING CAPITAL CITY OF

OLANBATAN.

THE REST OF MONGOLIA,

WHICH IS ROUGHLY THREE

TIMES THE SIZE OF FRANCE,

LOOKS LIKE THIS: VAST,

TREELESS GRASS LANDS WHERE

MOST PEOPLE LIVE A NOMATIC

LIFESTYLE, RAISING SHEEPS,

GOATS, CATTLE, AND HORSES.

AND AS I DISCOVERED, THERE

ARE HARDLY ANY PAVED

ROADS.

MY FIRST TIME DRIVING HERE

IN MONGOLIA.

I GREW UP IN AFRICA.

I LOVED DRIVING A STICK

SHIFT.

SO I'M VERY, VERY

COMFORTABLE ON THESE TYPES

OF ROADS.

SO THERE IS NO TRAFFIC.

I RECENTLY JOINED 46

CHRISTIANS FROM

NEIGHBORING RUSSIA,

HEADING TO REMOTE WESTERN

MONGOLIA, WHERE FEW HAVE

HEARD THE MESSAGE OF

CHRIST'S LOVE.

PAVEL LED THE MISSION.

>> THE HEART OF MY LORD

JESUS CHRIST IS FOR THE

LOST AND HURTING.

I WANT TO HAVE THE SAME

HEART.

>> George: FOR NINE

YEARS, HE HAS MADE DOZENS

OF TRIPS TO MONGOLIA,

BRINGING ALONG YOUNG

RUSSIAN CHRISTIANS TRAINED

AND EQUIPPED TO SERVE AS

POSSIBLE MISSIONARIES AND

EVANGELISTS.

17-YEAR-OLD ALENA TOLD CBN

NEWS SHE GOT THE CALL TO

MISSIONS AT A YOUNG AGE.

>> THIS IS HER THIRD VISIT

TO MONGOLIA.

[SPEAKING A FOREIGN

LANGUAGE]

>> Through Translator: I

READ THE BOOK ABOUT A

MISSIONARY IN A FORN FOREIGN

COUNTRY, AND SINCE THEN I

HAVE HAD THIS BURNING

DESIRE TO SHARE GOD'S LOVE

WITH PEOPLE.

>> George: THIS IS

NATASHA GORODNUK FIRST

TRIP.

>> ANY TIME I THINK ABOUT

IT, MY HEART BREAKS

BECAUSE I KNOW THE CALLING

ON MY LIFE AND I KNOW WHAT

I'M SUPPOSED TO DO.

>> George: FOR SEVERAL

WEEKS, NATASHA, ALENA, AND

FOUR DOZEN OTHER

CHRISTIANS HELD CAMPS FOR

YOUNG PEOPLE.

>> WE STARTED WORKING

TOGETHER WITH OUR RUSSIAN

BROTHERS AND SISTERS

SEVERAL YEARS AGO, TO

REACH MY PEOPLE WITH GOD'S

LOVE.

IT IS VITAL FOR CHANGING

HEARTS AND MINDS.

>> George: IN BETWEEN

PLAYING GAMES AND ENJOYING

OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES, CAMP

ORGANIZERS INTRODUCED

MONGOLIA TO CHRISTIANITY.

THIS IS HER TENTH VISIT.

>> THESE KIDS ARE THE

FUTURE OF MONGOLIA.

THEY ARE FUTURE PASTORS,

FUTURE CHURCH PLANTERS,

AND POSSIBLY FUTURE

LEADERS OF THIS COUNTRY.

[SPEAKING A FOREIGN

LANGUAGE]

>> GOD WILLING, THEY WILL

SHARE THE GOSPEL IN THEIR

HEARTS AND IMPACT THEIR

NATION FOR CHRIST.

[SPEAKING A FOREIGN

LANGUAGE]

>> George: TO BETTER

APPRECIATE THE

SIGNIFICANCE OF THESE

CAMPS, YOU HAVE TO

UNDERSTAND THE HISTORY OF

CHRISTIANITY HERE IN

MONGOLIA.

SHORTLY AFTER THE FALL OF

COMMUNISM, THERE WERE ONLY

10 BELIEVERS IN THE ENTIRE

COUNTRY.

TODAY, SOME 36 YEARS

LATER, SOME 60,000

BELIEVERS ARE SPREAD

ACROSS THIS VAST NATION.

>> WE ARE IN A REMOTE

WESTERN PART OF MONGOLIA,

AND IT IS STILL ONE OF THE

MOST UNREACHED PLACES IN

THE WORLD.

>> George: MICHAEL

CHERENKOV WITH MISSION

EURASIA CO-SPONSORS THE

CAMP.

HIS GROUP FOCUSES ON

RAISING THE NEXT

GENERATION OF CHRISTIAN

LEADERS IN THE SURROUNDING

NATIONS.

>> SOMETIMES WE THINK

PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD

KNOW ABOUT JESUS, BUT

THERE ARE PLACES LIKE THIS

THAT HAVEN'T BEEN TOUCHED

BY THE GOSPEL.

>> George: AND SO CAMPS

LIKE THIS ONE SERVE AS AN

IDEAL GROUND FOR SHARING

THE GOSPEL.

WITH YOUNG

PEOPLE.

LIVES LIKE THAT OF THIS

22-YEAR-OLD GIRL.

SHE ACCEPTED CHRIST WHILE

ATTENDING CAMP HERE AS A

LITTLE GIRL.

SHE GRADUATED FROM BIBLE

COLLEGE IN MAY, AND IS NOW

PREPARING TO GO ON THE

MISSION FIELD.

>> THIS CAMP WAS

FOUNDATIONAL TO KNOWING

GOD'S LOVE AND PREPARING

MY HEART TO BE A

MISSIONARY.

I TRY TO COME BACK EVERY

YEAR TO SHARE MY

EXPERIENCES OF HOW I

ENCOUNTERED CHRIST.

>> George: FOR OTHERS,

LIKE THIS 16-YEAR-OLD,

THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME

LEARNING ABOUT

CHRISTIANITY.

>> I'M LEARNING THE BIBLE,

STUDYING TODAY THAT GOD

CREATED THE HEAVENS AND

THE EARTH, AND THE ANIMALS

AND CREATURES OF THE SEA.

I NEVER KNEW OF THESE

STORIES BEFORE.

>> MANY MONGOLIANS DON'T

BELIEVE IN JESUS.

AND BEFORE I CAME TO THE

CAMP, I ALSO THOUGHT I

DIDN'T NEED TO KNOW

ANYTHING ABOUT HIM.

BUT NOW MY HEART HAS

CHANGED, AND I'VE LEARNED

SO MUCH MORE ABOUT

CHRISTIANITY.

>> George: IN ALL, SOME

1,000 YOUNG MONGOLIANS

HEARD THE GOSPEL, MANY OF

THEM FOR THE FIRST TIME.

>> I KNOW THERE IS ALL OF

THIS CONTROVERSY ABOUT

TRUMP AND ALLEGED RUSSIAN

COLLUSION.

BUT I ENCOURAGE CHRISTIANS

IN BOTH OF OUR COUNTRIES

NOT TO FOCUS ON THIS.

MILLIONS OF PEOPLE AROUND

THE WORLD ARE GOING TO

HELL BECAUSE THEY DON'T

KNOW JESUS CHRIST.

I'M NOT INTERESTED IN

POLITICS.

I'M INTERESTED IN TELLING

PEOPLE ABOUT JESUS.

LIVES ARE IN THE BALANCE,

AND WE ARE COMMANDED TO GO

AND TELL OTHERS ABOUT

CHRIST'S LOVE.

THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING

HERE IN MONGOLIA.

>> George: GEORGE

THOMAS, CBN NEWS,

SOMEWHERE IN WESTERN

MONGOLIA.

>> Charlene: WE ARE BACK

WITH "CBN NEWS SHOWCASE,"

AND GEORGE THOMAS IS HERE.

AND, GEORGE, YOU HAVE

BASICALLY TRAVELLED THE

WORLD FOR CBN.

>> George: I HAVE.

>> Charlene: AND GOD HAS

SHOWN YOU A LOT OF THINGS.

THIS STORY IS ABSOLUTELY

AMAZING.

TELL US WHAT STOOD OUT TO

YOU, AS YOU SPENT TIME

WITH THE PEOPLE OF

MONGOLIA, AND HOW GOD IS

WORKING TO REACH THEM.

>> George: CHARLENE,

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GO TO

THIS COUNTRY FOR ALMOST

FIVE YEARS.

IT HAS TAKEN ME FIVE YEARS

TO GET TO MONGOLIA.

I WANTED TO GO

SPECIFICALLY DURING WHAT

THEY CALL NODAM, THE

BIGGEST NATIONAL FESTIVAL,

WHERE YOU REALLY SEE THE

SIGHTS AND SOUNDS AND THE

CULTURE AND THE HISTORY OF

MONGOLIA.

THIS IS THE MONGOLIAN

EMPIRE.

THE MONGOLIAN WARRIOR AT

ONE TIME CONTROLLED ALMOST

A THIRD OF THE ENTIRE

WORLD.

HE HAD THE LARGEST EMPIRE

AT THAT TIME PERIOD.

SO I WANTED TO EXPERIENCE

WHAT MONGOLIAN CULTURE AND

LIFE WAS LIKE.

SO I WANTED TO GO DURING

THIS TIME OF YEAR.

WHAT REALLY SURPRISED ME

WAS THE VASTNESS OF THIS

NATION.

I MEAN, YOU SEE THE

IMAGES.

YOU DRIVE THROUGH WHAT IS

CALLED THE MONGOLIAN

GRASSLAND, AND THE CAPITAL

CITY, WHICH YOU'RE SEEING

THERE, BUT MOST OF

MONGOLIA LOOKS LIKE THIS.

THERE ARE MORE HORSES IN

THE COUNTRY THAN HUMAN

BEINGS.

THERE ARE MILLIONS OF

HORSES THAT JUST ROAM THE

VAST GRASSLAND.

AND TO SEE THESE RUSSIAN

MISSIONARIES WHO COME

GREAT DISTANCES FROM THEIR

HOME NATION, AND THEY ARE

JUST IMBUED WITH THIS IDEA

OF THE GREAT COMMISSION,

AND COMING TO THESE REMOTE

PARTS OF THE NATION TO

BRING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS

CHRIST IS JUST TREMENDOUS.

>> Charlene: GEORGE, LET

ME ASK YOU THIS: ARE THERE

MORE MISSIONARIES LIKE THE

RUSSIAN TEAM RETURNING

THERE?

>> George: ABSOLUTELY.

BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY

PARTS OF THIS VAST NATION

THAT HAVE NEVER HEARD THE

NAME OF JESUS CHRIST.

AND GETTING THERE -- THERE

ARE NO PAVED ROADS, AS I

DISCOVERED.

AND SO YOU TRAVEL GREAT

DISTANCES TO GET TO THESE

REMOTE TOWNS AND VILLAGES.

AND WHEN YOU'RE THERE,

MANY OF THEM HAVE NEVER

HEARD THE NAME JESUS

CHRIST.

I REMEMBER THEY WERE

SHARING THE GOSPEL WITH

THESE YOUNG KIDS, AND

THESE YOUNG KIDS WERE

HEARING THE CREATION STORY

FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.

MANY MONGOLIANS WOULD SAY

THEY'RE BUDDHIST, BUT IN

THE PROCESS, THEY JUST

HAVEN'T HEARD THE GOSPEL

MESSAGE.

WE THINK, IS IT POSSIBLE

THERE ARE POCKETS WHERE

THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF

JESUS CHRIST?

>> Charlene: WHAT DO YOU

SEE WITH THE GROWING BODY

OF THE CHURCH?

>> George: THE CHURCH IS

STRUGGLING.

26 YEARS AGO, THERE WERE

ONLY 10 BELIEVERS IN THE

ENTIRE COUNTRY.

TODAY THERE IS CLOSE TO

60,000 BELIEVERS.

THEY'RE STRUGGLING TO

GROW.

THEY'RE DEALING WITH ALL

KINDS OF CHALLENGES WITH

THE CHURCH IN MONGOLIA,

AND CONSUMERISM HAS

OVERTAKEN THE YOUNG

PEOPLE, AND THEY ARE

ENTHRALLED BY TECHNOLOGY,

Facebook AND INS INSTAGRAM,

AND TRYING TO PENETRATE

AND PIERCE THEIR HEARTS.

JUST LIKE IT IS SO

DIFFICULT HERE IN THE

WEST, AND THEY ARE ALSO

FACING THE CHALLENGE.

BUT GOD IS MOVING, AND GOD

HAS PUT -- PLACED ON THE

HEARTS OF PEOPLE IN THE

NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES,

CHINA, RUSSIA, KAZAKHSTAN,

KYRGYZISSTAN --

>> Charlene: WHAT DID

GOD TEACH YOU THROUGH THIS

EXPERIENCE?

>> JUST THE VASTNESS OF

GOD'S BEAUTY, AND TO

REALIZE THERE ARE PLACES

IN THE WORLD WHO HAVE YET

TO HEAR THE NAME OF JESUS

CHRIST.

AND WE HAVE THE

RESPONSIBILITY, THE

COMMAND, TO GO AND MAKE

DISCIPLES.

AND THAT'S WHAT THEY

RUSSIAN BELIEVERS ARE

DOING.

>> Charlene: ABSOLUTELY.

EXCELLENT STORY.

GEORGE THOMAS, THANK YOU

SO MUCH FOR JOINING US FOR

YOUR INSIGHTS ON THIS

AWESOME STORY.

WE JUST WANT EVERYBODY TO

PLEASE STAY TUNED.

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK TO

PRAY HERE ON "CBN NEWS

SHOWCASE."

BUT WE TAKE YOU TO BREAK

BREATHTAKING PHOTOS FROM

MONGOLIA.

TAKE A LOOK.

>> Charlene: FINALLY, IT

IS TIME TO PRAY HERE ON

"CBN NEWS SHOWCASE."

PLEASE WON'T YOU JOIN ME.

DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, WE

THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE

WAYS THAT WE SEE YOU AT

WORK IN THE WORLD TODAY,

FOR GIVING US HOPE, AS WE

THE SOLAR ECLIPSE, FATHER,

WE SAW THAT YOUR GLORY WAS

BEING REVEALED, AND IT

REMINDED US, FATHER, THAT

YOUR GLORY STRETCHES

ACROSS THE HEAVENS, AND

YOU ARE IN CONTROL IN THE

HEAVENS AND IN ALL OF THE

GALAXIES IN OUR WORLD, AND

HERE IN OUR LIVES

PERSONALLY.

YOU TRULY ARE AN AMAZING

GOD.

AND WE PRAY THAT YOU WILL

USE THE ECLIPSE, AND AS

PEOPLE THINK ABOUT IT EVEN

KNOW, LET THEM KNOW THAT

YOU'RE THE GOD WHO CREATED

THE SUN AND THE MOON, AND

THAT YOU LOVE THEM.

FATHER, AND AS SOMEONE

SAID, LIKE THE MOON STOOD

BETWEEN THE SUN, AND THE

SUN AND MOON STOOD BETWEEN

EACH OTHER, LORD, SO DID

CHRIST STAND BETWEEN US

AND GOD TO TAKE ON OUR

PUNISHMENT FOR OUR SIN,

AND TO BRING US

FORGIVENESS AND BRING US

BACK TO YOU.

FATHER, THANK YOU FOR WHAT

YOU DID, LORD JESUS, ON

THE CROSS.

AND MAY YOUR GOSPEL

MESSAGE GO OUT TO THE

NATIONS, LORD, TO PLACES

LIKE MONGOLIA, WHERE MANY

HAVE NEVER HEARD OF YOU.

WE PRAY FOR MEN, WOMEN,

AND CHILDREN THERE TO COME

TO KNOW YOU, AND FOR THE

CHURCH THERE TO GROW, THAT

IT WILL NO LONGER

STRUGGLE, BUT THAT IT WILL

BE THRIVING.

WE PRAY FOR REVIVAL AROUND

THE WORLD, AND HERE IN THE

U.S., ESPECIALLY IN OUR

COUNTRY NOW, FOR LOVE AND

UNITY TO PREVAIL OVER HATE

AND DIVISION.

WE KNOW THAT YOUR LOVE IS

GREATER, LORD, AND MORE

POWERFUL, LORD, AND WE

PRAISE YOU IN ADVANCE,

HEAVENLY FATHER, THAT YOU

HAVE ALREADY SECURED THE

VICTORY IN ALL THESE

THINGS.

WE PRAY FOR SALVATION,

LORD, OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE,

AND PROTECTION OF OUR

YOUNG PEOPLE AS THEY GO

BACK TO SCHOOL.

WE PRAY ALL OF THIS,

FATHER, IN JESUS' NAME.

AMEN.

-------------------------------------------

Has the DCEU Lost Its Damn Mind? - News Dump - Duration: 11:32.

Hey, guys! Welcome back to a new episode of News Dump.

Yeah. And so, due to scheduling

and the fact that we're half way across the world... -Yeah.

...we're filming this on Thursday.

So, it is entirely possible

that we're missing out on some crazy news

that just popped up at the end of the week.

It's also possible

that everything we tell you in this episode

has been proven wrong by the time it goes up. -Yeah.

But, believe me, we still got plenty to work with

because, yet again,

the decision making behind the DC Extended Universe

has revealed itself to be,

at best, odd and, at worst, stupid. -Yeah.

And actually, maybe, good?

I don't know.

If you dig deep enough into a mine, Eliot,

you're bound to hit some gems.

That's what my dad told me, and my dad is Kevin Tsujihara.

And my dad died of black lung disease.

Yeah. Anyways, it's a lot to unpack.

First off, there's going to be a standalone Joker Origin story

not starring Jared Leto

and it's not going to be part of the DCEU Canon.

Oh, and that Matt Reeves Batman standalone movie,

also not Canon apparently.

But hey, for people

who actually like Jared Leto as the Joker,

he's also getting his own movie with him

and Harley Quinn,

which is apparently replacing Gotham City Sirens

which was going to be about Harley Quinn,

Catwoman and Poison Ivy... whatever.

Anyways, let's just start with that non-Leto,

non-Canon Joker Origin story.

Yeah. So, this one is quite a mixed bag of things

that sound awesome

and also things that don't make much sense at all.

It's going to take place in the '80s.

It's going to feature a totally different actor,

maybe a teenager.

It's being developed and co-written by Todd Philips,

a comedy director most known for The Hangover trilogy,

and it's also co-written by Scott Silver

who wrote Eight Mile and The Fighter,

and Martin fucking Scorsese is supposedly involved

as a producer in some capacity or maybe he isn't.

It's all very vague. -Yeah.

It's also part of a

yet-to-be-named new branch of DC Entertainment

that's going to include projects

that will stand apart from the core DCEU movies

and not be tied down by continuity,

which you would assume would be a very simple task

because most people aren't fucking morons. -Yeah.

But, for some reason,

you got to build a universe somewhere... -Mm-hmm.

...and I think that's going to be more confusing

than just keeping it all separate,

not mentioning anything at all.

Anyways, it's all odd

and it's probably going to be really confusing for audiences,

but let's not forget that Logan was technically non-Canon

in the X-Men Universe

and that actually allowed it to be a much better movie

than it probably would have been

if it were tied up in the absurdly complicated lore

of that franchise.

So, it's probably a positive.

Still though, what the hell is the Joker without Batman?

There's no mention of Batman

being a part of the story at all,

Affleck or otherwise.

And honestly, the whole idea of the Joker

having his own entire movie in the '80s for some reason

raises a ton of red flags for us

simply based on how fucking atrocious Suicide Squad was.

Also, why does the Joker even need an origin story?

Do you remember how in Chris Nolan's The Dark Knight,

Heath Ledger's Joker told two totally different stories about

"How I got these scars" that totally contradict each other.

-With the Olsen twins. -Yeah.

It was a brilliant aspect of that film.

As viewers, we naturally want to know the backstory

of this terrifying weirdo

so that we can gain some understanding

of why he's doing what he's doing,

but The Dark Knight

intentionally makes this information irrelevant.

-In a positive way. -Mm-hmm.

And the fact that he's just straight up lying

in at least one of those stories, if not both,

makes him all the more terrifying.

Without any insight into the Joker's origin,

he's basically a force of nature defined only by his actions,

and it works really well story wise.

We don't actually always need to know

every character's backstory,

especially when they splash it on the screen in text

under fucking heavy metal music.

It works especially well for the Joker

who doesn't even have an official Canon backstory.

And now there's been various attempts

like in the Killing Joke, which is fine,

but DC stands has always been

that the Joker's origins are a mystery

and the Joker is an unreliable narrator...

they're... they're key to the character. -Yeah.

He's a wild a card.

Remember when everyone wanted to know

what Darth Vader was like as a kid? -Turns out...

Remember when no one learned from that experience?

...turns out Darth Vader as a kid

was even worse than what Darth Vader turned into.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

Anyway, speaking of this new non-Canon branch of DC movies,

it's sounding like Matt Reeve's untitled Batman movie

might also fall under that umbrella... -Yeah.

...or not. I don't know.

Speaking to L.A. radio station KCRW's film industry show,

The Business,

he said, "Well, I have a vision for a way

to do something with that character [Batman]

that feels like it resonates with me personally,

and a perspective that can grow out into other things.

When they [Warner Bros.] approached me,

what they said was, 'Look, it's a standalone,

it's not part of the extended universe.' "

All right. Yeah, I mean, cool.

Yeah. One... on one hand,

not requiring the movie to connect to the rest of the DCEU

like the way most Marvel movies have worked.

It's not necessarily a bad thing.

A Batman story that takes place in Gotham

and only makes passing mentions of anything going on outside

that setting sounds perfectly fine

and has worked in the past. -Yeah.

It's probably even preferable

to having it need to tie into Wonder Woman and Superman

and the Justice League.

Yeah. There's a lot of dots to connect there.

But again, the whole issue of Canon here is super vague.

It's not even clear

whether this is just a DCEU standalone

or part of that new non-Canon thing.

It also reignites the question of

whether or not Ben Affleck will even be involved,

since the solo Joker movie just proved

that DC Entertainment

is totally willing to cast other actors in these roles.

Some would say it looks like they're scrambling. -Yeah.

And the finally,

there's that Joker and Harley Quinn standalone movie

which is possibly, maybe, apparently I guess,

taking over the slot previously held by the Gotham City Sirens,

which would have been a standalone

about Harley Quinn, Catwoman and Poison Ivy.

This is going to come out after both characters

reprise their roles in Suicide Squad 2,

a movie that is still happening for some reason.

And... [CHUCKLES]

Just the title "Suicide Squad 2" sounds like a threat. -Yeah.

-The first shot missed. -Yeah.

[CHUCKLES]

Yeah. So, that's still happening,

and so this Joker, Harley Quinn thing

will take place in the DCU.

It's Canon, baby.

And it's not taking place in that other thing.

It will also be written, directed and produced by

Glenn Ficarra and John Requa,

the directors of the romantic comedy, "Crazy Stupid Love"

and the moderately well received comedy drama's

focus in Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.

Yeah.

And again, this one just puts

an immediate bad taste in our mouths

because Suicide Squad was pretty terrible

and also because of the fact

that, again, no mention of Batman.

Also, just in general,

all of these news just seems to confirm everyone's

very valid concerns

that DC and Warner Bros. have no real idea

what the hell they're doing

and they're just kind of winging it.

It seems like once Wonder Woman came out

and was actually good,

they were going to be re-adjusting things

based on what actually works.

But now, it's, it's.

"Okay, we're just back to square one.

Let's just throw shit at a wall and see what sticks." -Yeah.

Anyway, speaking of the movie industry

just openly letting everyone know

that they have no idea what the fuck they're doing,

this week, all of a sudden,

there was not one but two movie revivals of the '80s

TV series Knight Rider revealed, sort of, I guess.

First came the news that David Hasselhoff

is trying to get his own Knight Rider movie off the ground

and has spoken to Robert Rodriguez about making it.

With Hasselhoff wanting it to be just Logan,

his character, Michael Knight, all old and angry

and like... I don't know.

I guess annoyed about the price of gas.

Can we make it exactly like Logan?

Just riding around the desert in his car played by

Mr. Feeny from Boy Meets World.

That's what... that's the problem

when one movie does something well.

-Yeah. No, it is. -Yeah.

Everyone else scrambles like... Deadpool happens

and they're like, "Oh, let's see

how we can fuck up Suicide Squad."

But they, but they failed to understand

even the most basic reasons why it's good.

-Why that was good, yeah. -Yeah.

And the whole thing sounds like

it's almost certainly not going to happen

and it's just Hasselhoff running his mouth to the press

in the hopes that enough people would get excited about the idea

and convince a studio to actually fund it.

Literally just two weeks ago,

he was telling TMZ about

when he was set of Guardians of the Galaxy 2,

he convinced James Gunn

to help him develop a new Knight Rider TV series

despite the most recent attempt at doing that was 2008

and it was cancelled after one season

and everyone forgot about it. -Yeah.

-I literally did not remember it. -Yeah.

Turns out that maybe, just maybe,

a show or a movie

about a crime-fighting hero with a talking car

just doesn't sound as cool to most people today

as it did in 1982.

However, it does seem like a concept

that could work well as a comedy,

kind of like how 21 Jump Street was a serious cop show

and then a comedy movie franchise.

And that's apparently what the Weinstein Company

wants to do with Knight Rider

as reported this week by Screen Rant

who spoke to unnamed sources close to the project.

Yeah. And it sounds like this one could be grade A.

It would feature John Cena as Micheal Knight

and Kevin Hart as the voice of Kitt, the car.

Two very entertaining people

and a very strange, but... -Sure.

-...a good concept. -Yeah, fine.

You could see the potential.

On the other hand, though,

just as Urie have already had counter reboot movies

of Chips and Baywatch,

and they were both hot trash.

Still, Hollywood loves nothing more

than beating a dead horse

and making completely misguided decisions

based on the success of other people's actual good movies.

So, the John Cena, Kevin Hart Knight Rider comedy reboot

could very well happen and it could be totally shitty.

Every once in a while you strike gold. -Yeah.

Like my dad, Kevin Tsujihara, always says,

"If you dig enough, there's gold in those hills." -Yeah.

If you load a shot gun shell

with enough terrible movie ideas,

one of them is going to hit the target.

Yeah.

Anyway, on to trailers, let's with a dead horse

that has been beaten so hard

that it's just a mound of hair and teeth at this point,

Tyler Perry's Madea.

She's had eight movies so far, but the last one,

"Boo! A Madea Halloween",

was apparently so successful

that they fast tracked another Boo movie

to come out just a year later.

At this point Madea is this generation's earnest

and making fun it isn't even fun anymore. -Mm-hmm.

They're going to keep making these things

until the end of time.

They're going to keep putting shitty Youtubers

like Fouseytube in them.

So, just give it.

See "Boo 2! A Madea Halloween" on October 20th.

Boo 2!

Do they spell it T-O-O?

No.

Now, and possibly more enjoyable horror comedy content,

Netflix has released the trailer for Little Evil,

a new movie starring Adam Scott as a man

who marries his girlfriend

and becomes the stepfather to her son

who is clearly the literal spawn of Satan.

It's basically a comedy version of The Omen,

and the main reason we're excited about it is

because it's written and directed by Eli Craig

who also wrote and directed "Tucker & Dale vs. Evil,"

one of the best horror comedies ever made,

which did and amazing job

of taking horror movie tropes and turning them on their heads.

Little Evil comes out on Netflix September 1st,

very soon, very soon. -Yeah.

So, that's cool.

Also coming to Netflix is Big Mouth,

an animated series from Nick Kroll,

and it is very, very adult.

They've released two short scenes.

One is about a teenage boy being pressured

by his literal hormonal demon to masturbate to a clock

while his friend sleeps just feet away from him.

The other features the female version of the hormone demon

visiting a teenage girl

and turning her into an emotional wreck.

Voice cast here is pretty great though.

It features Nick Kroll, John Mulaney, Maya Rudolph,

Jason Mantzoukas, Jordan Peele, Fred Armisen and Jenny Slate

and this premiers on Netflix on September 29th.

And finally, you got to go check out the latest video

from our friends at Sneaky Zebra

or Zebra as they call it. -Zebra.

They're mostly known for their fantastic cost play videos,

but this one is a '90s style fake commercial

for a Pickle Rick action figure,

and it's honestly so good

that it seems like it could've been produced by Adult Swim.

Go give it a watch and while you're there, subscribe.

They put out some of the best fandom videos on the internet.

There are great guys. -Yeah.

It's a fantastic video.

-And Gary was nominated for a Streamy. -Oh, he was?

And so was Steven Suptic.

-That's fun. -Yeah.

Our nomination must have gotten lost in the mail.

-They always are. -Yeah, it's weird.

That's it for News Dump this week.

Please check out two of our other shows,

Weekly Weird News and TUGS all from here in Germany.

And, yeah, we'll be back in the states pretty soon

and then we're going to be heading to PAX.

What do they call it now? PAX West? PAX Prime? -Prime...

-The one in Seattle. -...PAX Seattle?

We're going to be at PAX Seattle next week,

Friday and Saturday,

because what's more fun than living out of a suitcase?

Yeah, we're all going to get deep vain thrombosis.

Yeah, I got my flight socks.

Do you? -I do.

Good. We're safe.

Don't worry, guys, we'll make it out alive

and we'll see you next week at PAX,

but we'll have a bunch of more shit going on before then.

And, yeah, that's it.

-All right. -Yeah.

Any last parting words for Germany, Eliot?

Al vida zein. -Al vida zein.

Let's have a beer.

Juggalos vs White Nationalists in DC? - Weekly Weird News - Duration: 26:37.

What's up, guys!

Welcome back to Weekly Weird News.

In Cologne, Germany.

-Yes, it smells great. -It does.

It's actually warmer than I expected.

It's a little hot right now.

I'm regretting my attire, but anyway...

-Yeah, enough about us. -...enough about us.

At this point, it is quite obvious

that people including us were lamenting,

"Oh, just how weird and terrible 2016 was",

the universe was listening and it silently muttered to itself,

-"Oh, you think this is nuts, hold my fucking beer." -Yeah.

And so here we are in a world where people are still arguing

about an election nearly a year after it happened.

Elon Musk is warning us about

AI and robot being a threat to civilization,

an actual nuclear war with North Korea is on the table

and also people whose grandparents fought

Nazis 70 years ago are waving Nazi flags in public.

-Hooray! -Yeah.

Personally, for the sake of the show,

we preferred things back when the weirdest stories of the week

involved people from Florida

getting naked and dancing on cars,

women claiming to have three breasts

and of course anything involving the Insane Clown Posse.

For over two decades,

the Detroit-based Insane Clown Posse

have been a source of widespread confusion and ridicule

for their face paint and their absurdly violent lyrics

and their insistence on spring dozens of bottles of Faygo

all over their audiences.

That is soda by the way, it's a sticky mess.

And obviously, most especially because of the audience

that loves them themselves,

the Juggalos, the Juggalos everyone.

Perhaps the most bizarre yet dedicated fan base in existence.

Like their heroes, Juggalos adorn themselves

in clown face paint at ICP shows and sometimes even in public.

And they treat their ICP fandom

as a lifestyle choice and an identity.

They've got their own hand sign, the wicked clown,

they get tattoos of the ICP's hatchetman logo.

They shout and respond to the Juggalo call of,

"whoop-whoop."

They're surrounding us now.

We put out the call.

And through their events and organizations

like Juggalo Championship Wrestling

and the annual gathering of the Juggalos,

they come together as a family

to celebrate their love of not just the Insane Clown Posse

but the world that ICP has created for its fans.

At this point, that world includes fandom not only for ICP

but also for numerous other musical artists

associated with them and signed ICP's own

Psychopathic Records label.

Yeah, and yes, to most outsiders,

the entire concept of Juggalos

can seem ridiculous or even scary.

After all, Juggalos like ICP spend a lot of time

really enthusiastically talking about violent murder.

ICP lyrics are really, really over the top

and their gratuitous violence to the point

that it's classified as the subgenre horrorcore.

And so naturally,

a lot of that language carries over to the fans.

Though, most insists the violent lyrics

are simply a way to channel their aggression

into something nonviolent plus there's that whole,

actually it was,

we were talking about Christianity the entire time.

-Yeah. -It was... we're trying to slip that in there.

Really, like someone needs to

take a deep dive into this, guys.

Oh, I'm sure, historians will be toiling

over this for years to come Elliott.

They are a bunch of contradictions

wrapped up in an enigma.

Much like the ground in Europe.

If you do a little digging into ICP's lyrics...

You'll never know what you're going to find.

...you'll never know what you're going to find.

Anyway, however, as the Juggalo subculture has grown,

it has become linked to actual violence

either through mentally disturbed fans

who take the whole thing literally

or through actual Juggalo street gangs.

These Juggalo gangs are spread throughout the U.S.,

almost always in particularly poor areas

where they came about mainly by merging the Juggalo mythology

and lifestyle into existing gangs.

On a large scale though, they share almost nothing in common

to the point that there are Native American Juggalo gangs,

Juggalo gangs is affiliated with the Crips and the Bloods

and even KKK and Neo-Nazi Juggalo gangs.

By 2011, enough serious crimes have been attributed

to criminals identifying themselves as Juggalos

that the FBI and multiple states have officially classified

Juggalos as a criminal street gang,

which makes it much easier for the law enforcement

to investigate suspects if they openly display affiliation

which they're not hiding it... -No... -most of the time.

This of course has created a huge problem for normal,

non-criminal everyday Juggalo's

who even the National gang Intelligence Center says

make up around 90 percent of all Juggalos,

they have their top men on the case,

they're analyzing all the data and they found it out.

Essentially the entire Juggalo's subculture has faced

increased scrutiny from law enforcement since 2011

over the actions of just 10% of all Juggalos.

-Not my Juggalos. -No.

This has of course pissed off Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope

of the Insane Clown Posse... -Of course.

...who have been working with their local Michigan chapter

of the American Civil Liberties Union

to repeatedly fight the FBI in court for the gang designation.

-The FBI not down with the clown. -No.

They've been arguing that people are being targeted

by law enforcement,

denied housing losing custody of children

and fired from jobs simply for enjoying the ICP's music.

They can't even enjoy chicken hunting anymore,

it's ridiculous.

And J and Shaggy's frustrations are actually pretty warranted.

Despite their violent lyrics,

they have always been pretty outspoken

about their fan base being one that's built around acceptance

and they're surprisingly woke for lack of a better term.

And the demographics of Juggalos are predominantly

white, lower-class and from the South and Midwest

which for most people is enough information to conclude

that Juggalos are racist, sexist, white trash,

but that's not the case.

First off, ICP has made multiple songs overtly targeting racists.

The song "Confederate Flag" contains the repeated line,

"I say fuck your rebel flag" and the song "Chicken Hunting"

which I just referenced is three and a half minutes

of talking about murdering racist hillbillies.

Oh, and fun fact,

ICP are actually like we said evangelical Christians,

but they've repeatedly condemned racism,

white supremacy and homophobia.

And are so sick and tired of being misunderstood

and persecuted that this past January,

they announced plans for the Juggalo March on Washington.

So, on the events website they write,

"Saturday, September 16th 2017.

That is the date that the Juggalo Family must truly shine

and show America and the world that we are not a gang,

public menace, cult, or any of the other untrue labels

they have attempted to slap on us throughout the years.

We must collectively show them that we truly are a family

that is united by a shared love of music and fellowship.

We help and support each other

like no other so-called "fanbase"

ever has in the history of popular culture.

We give each other food or water if someone is hungry or thirsty.

We lend emotional support to each other

in times of sorrow or struggle

and we celebrate with each other in times of triumph.

We may be the outsiders, the misfits, the weirdoes,

and the underdogs of the mainstream world,

but as a result we have created our own world.

One built on a rock-solid foundation of community,

creativity, joy and love.

Man, it's like the speech from Independence Day

except about clowns.

[CHUCKLES]

Fucking great.

-I hope they do that speech live. -Yeah.

Yeah, at the steps of the Washington Monument.

Please, even try to argue against that.

-I can't find a... -They sound like good people to me.

-Yeah, they're like the opposite of the believers. -Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Now here's the thing,

the Juggalo March is on September 16th

on the National Mall in DC and so is another event.

The mother of all rallies, a pro-Donald Trump rally

that while not explicitly racist or homophobic

is coming on the heels of several recent pro-Trump rallies

that exposed a very racist subset of Americans.

And the case of Charlottesville resulted

in one death and several serious injuries

when a White nationalist piece of shit

drove his car into a crowd.

So, despite the mother of all rallies,

not directly associating itself with confederate monuments

or White nationalism, tensions are pretty high right now

when it comes to right-wing rallies

and these guys are going to be sharing a space the same day

with a Juggalo rally and that's...

you can't write this stuff.

-2017, you're wild. -Yeah.

Well, that's not to say this is going to erupt

in some sort of huge ridiculous brawl

between Juggalos and guys in MAGA hats.

The National Mall is huge

and each rally has its own designated area.

There's also apparently two other unrelated rallies

happening there at the same time.

So, all the Twitter fan fiction about Juggalo

is coming to blows with Klansmen almost

certainly isn't going to come true.

And when SPIN interviewed Shaggy 2 dope about the whole thing,

he had this to say.

"I just heard about that too.

But what can you do?"

Did he rhyme that on purpose?

-He's like working 24/7. -Probably, he is a rapper.

"I just heard about that too.

But what can you do?

Who gives a shit, it's our day to shine too.

Fuck them.

We don't got nothing to do with that.

But they got as much right to do their thing as we do ours.

I don't know what the conflict would be.

I don't ever hear Juggalos straight up being like,

'Fuck Trump.'

Nobody really gives a shit.

I don't give a shit.

If there's something,

it's probably because one of them will start it.

No Juggalo's going to bum rush no Trump supporter

because we don't give a fuck.

We're not there for that.

But if some beef does cook, it's probably because

somebody on their side is popping off at the mouth."

And regarding all the recent you know pro-confederacy,

white nationalism shit that's been going on,

Shaggy 2 Dope said this,

"Why would you still be that angry at anything,

a bunch of white supremacists attack people

for tearing down a Confederate statue?

I didn't grow up at least bit racist.

I don't understand what it's like to be racist.

It's hard for me to speak on it

because it's the dumbest thing in the world.

To think that shit's still going on is incredible.

It will always go on I guess until there's just one race,

from everybody intermingling and fucking.

But I don't understand it, and I never have.

It's an alien concept.

Why would you do that?

I probably sound ignorant as fuck,

but I'm so removed from the whole mindframe."

You know, he's not wrong.

So don't expect some big confrontation

between Juggalos and Nationalists,

unless of course one of the Nationalists

starts shit with the Juggalos.

The Juggalos are doing this rally specifically

to show that they aren't a violent gang.

So, they're not going to be looking for any kind of trouble.

In fact the best-case scenario is that that you know,

face-painted Juggalos and Jugglets somehow end up

looking relatively the sane compared to the other people

rallying a few hundred feet away.

And we can actually say from experience that

when we decided to go to an ICP show in Indianapolis

just for shits and giggles,

you might have been there for shits and giggles.

I was a big Juggalo in 9th grade in high school,

so I actually wanted to see them live.

It was a great time.

We were both completely blown away and by the way,

the Juggalos were very friendly. -Yeah.

And very accepting.

-Very nice people. -I know.

Eliot was hanging out with them all night.

-Good people. -Yes.

We were in the beer drinking area,

we're the only people drinking.

Everyone there was having a nice time

just sipping on their Faygo.

Yeah, you know, I do like the idea of when,

when Shaggy 2 Dope was saying that Juggalo's help people,

they go and they would give food and water to people.

I would love to see like Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J

just like in an impoverished area

handing out Faygo instead of water.

They should do that.

Yeah.

Think about it guys.

Yeah.

Anyways, prejudice aka judging people before knowing them

is fucking stupid and we sincerely hope

the Juggalo March on Washington succeeds

at chipping away at that.

Let's hope so.

Whoop!

Whoop!

Anyway, let's jump over the Pacific Ocean

and completely contradict ourselves

now by making fun of China.

Okay, more specifically Chinese company names

which were recently cracked down on

by the Chinese government.

Basically, China's State Administration for Industry

and Commerce thinks that there are

too many Chinese companies with bizarre

and overly long names and it's kind of hard to argue with them

when you actually read some of these.

Yeah.

There is a group of young people with dreams,

who believe they can make the wonders of life

under the leadership of

Uncle Niu Internet Technology Company Limited.

They make condoms by the way, so -- Yeah.

Great.

Shenyang Prehistoric Powers

Hotel Management Limited Company,

which is -- the story behind this,

it's named after a phrase uttered by Chinese Olympic

swimmer Fu Yuanhui who after,

you know competing the race said,

" I have used all my prehistoric powers to swim."

Still doesn't make any fu--ing sense though.

The phrase "Skinny Blue Mushroom" appears

in all sorts of businesses usually restaurants and cafes

and it's based off of an internet video of a guy crying

and mispronouncing words.

It's a meme and basically the Chinese equivalent of

that dude saying, amberlamps instead of ambulance

in that old epic beard man AC transit

bus fight viral video that happened years ago.

We remember him.

Yeah, I thought it was like a penis reference.

-Amberlamps. -Yeah.

There's also a few companies whose names

expressed disdain for wives like Beijing Under M

Wife's Thumb Technology Company Limited

and Beijing Scared of Wife Technology Company

and Anping County Scared of Wife Netting Products Factory.

I, I just wanted to be a painter.

I'm only here because I'm scared of my wife.

I was sick and tired of staying home all day.

She's a real asshole.

She told me to get a job and I did.

Also, some other random weird names include

Hangzhou No Trouble Looking for Trouble

Internet Technology and What Are You Looking at

Shenzhen Technology Company Limited.

And to be clear, all of these are of course

translated to English from Chinese.

So at least, some of the reason they sound so weird

is that pretty much anything translated

from Chinese to English sounds weird.

There was a meme reason where people were translating

the Chinese version of Harry Potter back to English

and it was just complete fucking nonsense.

Yeah.

It's also important to note that the cultural

and linguistic differences between China

and the West are so vast

that Western companies often go

by completely different names over there.

They basically try to find Chinese words

that together sound similar enough to the actual

Western company name, but also translate into

something relevant for the brand.

So for example, BMW's name in China

translates to treasure horse

and Pampers is, helps make baby comfortable.

Nice.

That's like marketing 5D chess.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

On the other hand, Bing went with Biying,

which the direct translation is must respond.

But it also sounds remarkably similar to sickness

and many attribute that to why Bing

has a really small market presence in China.

Well, also because Bing is the chosen internet search

provider for pornography.

Yeah And -- You can't get that.

Can't -- they don't let you do it.

No.

Especially if you're just looking at thumbnails that move.

Yeah.

Anyways, if you ask us,

China's being a total killjoy about this.

We're fine with the fact that the new rules

explicitly ban company names that are sexist

and/or discriminatory or pro-terrorism.

But none of the companies we just listed are hurting anybody,

except our sides because they're really funny.

Our many sides.

And potentially, the, the scorn of one man's wife.

Yeah, yeah Anyways, last year,

the Chinese government banned what they considered

bizarre architecture aka totally awesome ridiculous architecture.

Just look at these buildings.

China, come on, man.

You got to be cool on this one.

You're doing some good work,

just letting architects go wild, designing buildings

that look like they're straight out of a science fiction movie

and then you told them to cut it out

and stick to boring rectangles.

Now you're forcing companies to adopt boring names.

Come on!

Come on, China!

Yeah, I mean if you want to see -- Be cool man.

Look at, look at cities that enjoy architecture

and then look at any city that was thriving

or whatever you want to call it during the Soviet Union.

Boring.

Just squares and brown.

Concrete rectangles.

Yeah.

Anyway.

Now, let's get right into the second part of the show

where we take a look at the best weird news headlines

that we saw this week starting with

Swiss grocery chain to offer bug burgers Yum!

Snowpiercer is real now.

Yeah, has it come in the form of a single square block.

Nah!

There are these mealworms and it's, it's like --

-they took a garden burger -The name is right there.

they added the mealworms to it for the extra protein.

Yeah.

They're saying that if population

gets more out of control,

we're all going to have to get used

seeing this shit.

So -- By then, science would have taken over and

Yeah, they're growing that meat and stuff now.

Yeah, that impossible burger.

Yeah.

I need them to hurry up and make that not $20 of patty.

Are the Swiss, are the Swiss really doing

so bad that they have to eat bugs?

I don't think -- I feel like they're not.

No. They got like Nazi gold.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

Still chipping away at it.

Yeah.

Oh, guys, we ran out of gold.

We must switch to bugs.

Switch the bugs.

Yeah, we moved.

Big deal.

You didn't -- it's fine.

Next headline.

Big catch!

Drunken woman allegedly swims up,

bites fisherman's line.

This was in Florida by the way.

Of course it was.

Yeah.

She -- hey, you want to see a good trick?

Hey, look at me, I'm a fish.

What is he biting?

She didn't just tug on it?

Yeah, she's apparently... she was drunk

and she was yelling at some fisherman.

She's like -- then just came up and bit the line.

Oh, okay, okay.

That's different than what I thought was going on.

See, my brain immediately jumped to the fact that

this woman was swimming in an area where a man was fishing

and she was like, you know, be funny.

Hold my cosmopolitan, I'm going to make this guy think

that there is fish in the line.

But really, he's going to have a drunken woman on the line.

Yeah.

And the hook went through her mouth and he wa like,

"Oh, got a big one."

According to maritime law, you have to marry that woman.

[LAUGHTER]

That's the truth.

[LAUGHTER]

Geez! Oh, no.

[LAUGHTER]

I come down here every day looking for a husband.

Finally.

[LAUGHING]

Okay. But realistically,

she just went up and bit the string.

Yeah, I know, she's just being a drunken idiot in the water.

I don't even know if she was allowed to swim there.

Probably not, they don't usually allow swimming and fishing.

Well, I don't know, it's Florida, you can do

whatever you want.

Yeah, you can do whatever you want.

People go out in the ocean and stand there

and fish like at the beach.

God! There are just people getting hooks

in their fucking ears all the time probably.

Yeah.

Yup.

Anyways, it was a lot, it was a lot funnier

the way I saw it in my head.

Yeah. Anyways.

I'll let you hold onto that.

Yeah, thanks.

British study finds that one third of vegetarians

eat meat when they're drunk.

I can, I can confirm this

with a couple of vegetarian friends over the years.

Yeah, and they also found that 80% of them,

they lie about it later.

Yeah, of course they do.

They don't tell anyone. Yeah.

Moral compass is all over the place.

Yeah.

It's like standing on a giant magnet.

What is it about alcohol that makes you crave

the flesh of another animal?

I don't know, just brings out the,

the best and worst in people.

-Yeah. -That's the thing.

I -- there are also vegetarians that are like,

"I'm having a cheat week.

I just really want some, some chicken wings"

and it's like, "What the fuck is wrong with you?"

So you don't care about all those dead animals.

After all. This week -- Yeah.

This week is the week they all have to die.

Yeah, also like you know little field animals,

they die while they're scooping up all that sweet sweet soy.

Did you ever think about chipmunks,

they're cuter than some of the things we eat, fish.

No one eats chipmunks.

No, they die when field mice

and all kinds of little animals,

they die when they're scooping up all the,

all the wheat.

True, true, good point.

Yeah.

Checkmate.

Atheist.

-I mean, vegetarians. -Vegetarians.

[LAUGHTER]

Woman stuck in swimming pool

turns to Facebook for help.

How do you get stuck in a swimming pool?

She was really old and she shouldn't have been

in the pool in the first place.

Oh, yeah.

She did not have the upper body strength

to simply lift herself out of the pool.

Yeah.

So she, reached for her phone and went on the,

you know, the local community Facebook page,

"Okay, if anyone is reading this right now"

and of course all the mommy bloggers were right there

and they got the message, they came over.

And rescued out.

Yeah.

Like who, who even needs the Life Alert anymore?

-No one. -You got one on your phone.

Yeah, we get a Life Alert -- Help, I've fallen

they do not like the reputation that people like me

-- Yeah.

I would assume that that is true.

They --yeah, they pretty much say that if you have

-- if you are within the means to get an actual

toilet system and you don't like you're a bad person.

Shame.

Especially if your husband that refuses to do it

for the wife because -- Then you wonder why all these

people move to China and start companies about

how much their wives are -- Yeah.

My damn wife, she made me move all the way to China.

My wife divorced me for not installing,

installing a toilet limited company.

Yes.

Finally, my time has come.

Fuck airports.

I didn't have my luggage for like a full day.

Yeah, they lost them.

Yeah.

Every goddamn time.

Did they finally get the headstone to where it belong?

No, they -- no, no one claimed it.

Who would?

I'm so embarrassed.

Nah, they can just have it.

Nah, just throw the body in a ditch.

Yeah. That's fine.

I'm too embarrassed to go pick up the headstone.

Who's bringing a fucking giant head -- first of all,

there's no way that it passed the weight limit.

No.

Sir, this is, this is 120 pounds.

Yeah, this is pure granite.

It's going to cost you -- if,

if you want to put this on the plane,

it's going to cost you $300.

And the guy is like, -- I'll just throw it.

[LAUGHTER]

Feces has been gross for a long time though.

Was it a -- What made the change?

Is this like -- was it some,

was it some Confederate soldier named Robert E. Feces?

No.

Like, oh, we better get out in front of this.

[LAUGHTER]

Robert E. Feces,

No, this is.

We got to get ahead of this before people find out.

Robert E. Feces.

They were fine with it being Shit Elementary School,

but when they find out that it was

a Confederate soldier --

They should replace one of those Robert E. Lee's

statues with a granite statue of that emoji poop.

Yeah. Robert E. Feces.

[CHUCKLES]

Everyone loves that poop emoji.

Yeah.

No, it's actually -- so this is in South Korea.

Oh, okay.

And the word for poop is apparently like

it's an old word that didn't always mean poop

and it was the name of this old town

-- and they called the school the, the, --

they named the school that in like '60s and they're like,

"Don't worry about it, we're taking the word back."

It's like, "No."

All the kids are like, "We get made fun of all the

time for going to poop school."

Yeah.

Is their, is their team uniforms brown?

I don't know. Yeah.

Hey, we're the Feces Elementary skid marks

and we're going to beat you in soccer.

We're a nasty school.

[LAUGHTER]

Okay. Samuel L. Jackson

and Magic Johnson mistaken for lazy migrants

by Italians after shopping in Tuscany.

I mean he does wear those stupid hats.

They're both like...

they had like fucking Versace bags and shit.

Some, some jackass like prankster in Italy posted

it to like Facebook as a social experiment being like

would you look at these migrants?

Look what they're doing with our money.

And then of course --

Well, do you see the one on Breibart

where they put the soccer star on a jet ski and

they're like sneaking migrants over on jet skis now.

Yeah, look at these damn migrants.

And it was like a... it was a soccer star

and do apologize.

Just never believe anything you see in the Internet.

Yeah, stop, stop believing in things except for us.

Yes, Samuel L. Jackson does wear those silly hats,

the ones that are like cabbie hats.

Yeah.

But this... in this picture,

they're both dressed really well.

Also, Magic Jonathan's like six-foot-eight.

Yeah.

The man is one of the most famous athletes in the world.

-Yeah. -In the world.

He was on the dream team, damn it.

They've worked very hard.

He has worked very hard.

ESPN apologizes for fantasy football draft sketch

And I watched it and... yeah, a little bit, a little bit.

But mostly White crowd with them being like, "All right!

Who wants this guy in their draft team?"

Yeah, just a bunch of like fat, lazy drunk dudes

like who just loved fantasy football,

betting on football players and saying,

"Yes, give me that.

I will give this many points and yes.

It's actually very strong.

Very easy to see how that could go wrong real quick.

Very... and another one of those examples of how many checks

and balances are really going on in any

kind of major production studio?

None.

Yeah, not a lot apparently.

Good dog?

Golden Retriever digs up $85,000 worth of heroin.

Great dog.

Yeah.

I mean the B got to sell it.

If you came across that much in drugs, would you really

would you sell it or would you turn it in?

I wouldn't even know how to sell it.

Well, that's what I'm saying.

You can find someone.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

Yeah.

It's $85,000 worth, I'd go -- I'd find someone,

I pay that person like 20 grand to find someone.

And then whatever is left, what is it?

Sixty-five grand, it's like,

"Hey, just give me like 20 grand right now

and then -- Yeah --

you make whatever you want off of it.

But -- Just give me a couple of hundred bucks

and forget we had this conversation.

Oh, kid, no.

You know what I would do, I'll make a treasure map

and I would sell that treasure map to the person

because then I'm like hands off.

I've never even touched it.

Well, that's the thing.

Some guy... the guy found it in his backyard.

Oh!

It means, it means someone buried this at some point

and probably saw this news and was like,

"Fuck! That's where my heroin was.

Shit!

we would have found it ages ago."

Yeah.

I mean, it says backyard,

maybe it was the previous homeowner.

Well now that they have a dog bar, I got, I got to go.

Dog bar.

Apparently, the beer does not get the dogs drunk,

it's just some weird beer made from chicken

and lamb or something.

I'd love to taste it.

No. Shit!

It sounds like it's just chicken broth,

but like cold with some bubbles in it.

I'm sure the dogs love it.

I hope... hopefully at least makes a the dogs,

Mass Effect ABANDONED - The Know Game News - Duration: 5:37.

Welcome to "The Know", I'm Ashley.

And I'm Gus.

Pull one out for Mass Effect: Andromeda guys after only five months

developer Bioware said the much goofed on game not getting any new content. This is official now.

We've been speculating for a while

but that was official so now all the fans were left wondering if the franchise is now frozen in some of Andromeda character face.

"Sorry"

Ahhh.. and a note on the official Mass Effect site, Bioware said that the last update

1.10 was the final one for the game. The developer added "will continue to tell stories in the Andromeda Galaxy through our upcoming comics and novels

including the fate of the quarian ark."

Yup comics, novels, not video games.

Bioware stress though that it will continue to support Andromeda's

MULTIPLAYER, because you know that's where the money is, in multiplayer these days. And they wrote "our multiplayer team will provide details of their ongoing

support and upcoming content including new multiplayer missions, character kits and what's in store for N7 Day."

Well it's been rumored for a while now that the game wouldn't be getting any single player DLC, the actual announcement still came as kind of

an abrupt ending. While Andromeda definitely got it's share of bad reviews

it was a surprise to a lot of people that support for the game was yanked so soon.

After all Mass Effect is a pretty storied franchise

It's got a long history.

It does and we've seen developers for other games *cough* "No Man's Sky"

continue to support games a year after release with robust updates.

SERIOUSLY, No Man's Sky is fixing their game.

How is Mass Effect not fixing their game?

Just saying

Multiplayer

Right.....

Ahh.. lot of the fans were upset by the news that the game is being fully abandoned. Well the single-player

which is really what most Mass Effect fans end up caring about.

And they posted on Reddit elsewhere about their frustrations as you do.

As Redditor "cbow120" put it

"This was always a possibility, but it honestly feels like a big fuck you to the fans

I honestly regret buying Andromeda even though I actually had fun with it, it's just a damn shame

this is how a legendary series like Mass Effect gets treated."

Ouch

Of course

Andromeda has had issues from the start. The game had a bunch of hype as people were stoked to finally get another Mass Effect game

but it released.

I was so excited for this game to come out.

We.. we all were.

Thanks.

But it released in March to a lower than expected

71 on metacritic and quickly became a meme due to some poorly implemented facial animations.

"My face is tired from dealing with everything"

You know, holding a gun backwards

Small tiny details like

the..the.. There was the stair waddles.

A lot of it added up and after all that the rumor started that Developer Bioware Montreal was being downsized

The game single player DLC had been cancelled all because of Andromeda's poor performance.

It turned out the rumors were TRUE.

Bioware Montreal was eventually merged into another EA studio, "Motive", and there was a shake-up at Bioware soon after with previous general manager

Aaryn Flynn out and former Mass Effect lead, Casey Hudson, back in overseeing development of upcoming Sci-Fi RPG "Anthem".

So obviously Mass Effect Andromeda hasn't been the first highly anticipated game to not exactly live up to expectations.

We already mentioned No Man's Sky

that released last year to a ton of hype about its nearly infinite procedurally generated

universe and that the resulted game was a little underwhelming as critics and fans felt like it was kind of boring.

You know

At launch

Yeah, but still developer Hello Games stuck with it, and has released three pretty major content updates. Fans have cheered

the fact that they didn't Abandon the game unlike some people.

Some... people...

The fact that EA and Bioware have been so quick to pull the plug on Mass Affect Andromeda

Honestly it's also got a lot of people wondering what this means for the future the franchise and with good reason. Honestly

you're going to continue it in your comics? Okay thanks. After all gaming is kind of a hit driven business

It is a little bit similar to Hollywood in some ways it wouldn't be the first time that an underwhelming game has sunk a franchise.

"Metroid Other M" was a disappointing seller for the Wii when it released in 2010 and we haven't gotten a major Metroid game since.

Although Nintendo did announce at E3 that it's working on "Metroid Prime 4" with that bitching "4" logo.

Oh, yeah

That's where they put all the works now the development is like 90% done once you get the animated logo out of the way.

You're set. By the time that game comes out it'll have taken about a decade to wash the "Other M" stink off of Metroid.

Yeah, we I mean, we get "Samus Returns" tho.. So we got that.

Sure it's kind of a remake

But it's more Metroid than we've had in years.

But Bioware insists that Mass Effect as a franchise isn't done. They swear, they're serious.

Wink

When asked by a fan if you'd want to return the Mass Effect, Bioware GM Casey Hudson said in response

Yes, I love Mass Effect too much to not want to work on it again in the future.

So that's something I mean he was like... you know one of the Mass Effect guys for the original Trilogy. So make sense

he'd wanna work on it.

You gotta quit him correctly.

He loves hashtag

Mass Effect. Gotta get your hashtags in your quotes.

Hashtag

Despite all the hate though Mass Effect Andromeda did make EA money. In a recent earnings call

EA credited the game to a rise in quarterly sales as well as a

significant contributor to overall growth.

End of the day making money is what it's all about if you're business which EA is

but sadly for Mass Effect fans looks like we'll have to wait

a while probably a long while for another game in the franchise as Bioware shift it's attention to other projects like "Athem" right now

especially because we don't want the C studio working on it again, do we?

Just go into cryo sleep, it'll be here before you know it.

What do you guys think of Mass Effect Andromeda getting abandoned? Too soon?

or is Bioware right to move on? Let us know in the comments.

And for all your crazy Mass Effect news if there is

ever any news about Mass Effect again make sure you like this video and if you're new around here subscribe to "The Know"

Beautiful.

The internet's fast.

Yea.

Lets hear it for sinking franchises everyone.

Metacritic quickly became a meme due to

Just like this.
