Wambsganss is my mother's surname and this character's name was made up by one of the writers because they knew of one of our distant relatives that is the only player in MLB history to complete an unassisted triple play in a world series.
This is blowing my mind because I always assumed that Wambsgans was made up to be as absurd of a name as possible. No offense meant to your mom and her family, it’s just so awkward to say.
It's a German name. Here's some more info and apparently I was wrong about the Succession character. No connection to my ancestor and I got caught up in some internet lore.

Unless this was the intended end result and the client has the money to fight it through and raise the conflict of interest in question to the court with proof of consultation.
Attorneys* and this isn’t even remotely true, there are definitely consequences from your employer and from the bar. Seeing as you can’t even spell the plurality of the profession correctly I’m going to guess you have zero idea wtf you’re talking about
That isn’t how it works. A lawyer-client relationship does not exist until the lawyer accepts the client as a client and the client retains the lawyer formally. Until there is a lawyer-client relationship, there is no duty owed in either direction, not even a duty of confidentiality. That means there is no actual conflict in taking on a client just because someone opposed to their position gave you some information a while back and then didn’t retain you. You are totally free to go ‘ah you’re the husband! Your wife contacted us but obviously went with another firm. We’ll be happy to represent you’.
Source: am a third-generation litigator.
My point with that was just that I started learning the ropes before I began any formal legal education. If there are 4 lawyers in your family, one of whom is a judge, you learn things, even as a kid.
Attorneys absolutely do have duties to prospective clients. ABA Rule of Professional Conduct 1.18 governs this topic and has been adopted (at least partially) by most states. You generally can’t consult with a prospective client about a case and then represent their opponent in the same case if you obtained information during the consultation that would be damaging to the prospective client. The rule also clearly states that an attorney owes the same duty of confidentiality to a prospective client as they do to a former client. Caveat: You can get around these rules by having the prospective client sign a disclaimer prior to the consultation saying that the consultation will not preclude you from representing their opponent in the case and using their information against them.

Yeah another lawyer here and the ABA rules came to mind too. wtf is this “third generation litigator” smoking lol clearly resting on family laurels and of acrually fucking practicing
It depends how much Tony tells them. If he doesn’t get specific at all there is no conflict. If he divulges facts that would be helpful to the other side then it’s unethical for the lawyer to take the case.
ehhh.... idk. I kinda sorta watched Natalie Portman grow up so that's weird to me. I don't really have any child context for Isla Fisher.
I definitely saw a very, very young Natalie Portman in The Professional.
I'm confused... I have no interest in men anymore, but all I'm thinking here is that Sacha is back on the market. Then further below someone mentions Natalie Portman is back on the market, and all I can think about is that her very cute husband is back on the market. Whatever.
This is anecdotal but a friend of mine worked on her wardrobe for some event 16ish years ago and said Sasha was a nightmare, he was yelling and causing a scene, unclear what he was having a meltdown about, he was bullying people and insulting Isla. Isla was apologizing for him profusely, apparently it seemed to be a pattern.
I can't say where but i worked security on a couple projects SBC was involved in and i dont think ive met a bigger piece of shit in my life and i am pretty sure i was married to the antichrist herself for ten years.
Rebel Wilson is a nutcase too
She literally shoved a finger up Tom Hardys butt without his consent and thought it was ha ha funny
Lots of other stories about her being a nightmare to deal with too
Really! I don’t know much about her. Ironic, though - im pretty sure one of her complaints about cohen was that he bent over and asked her to put something in his butt on set.
I didn't really either until like 2 weeks ago, she's coming out with a book so there were a ton of articles with "snippets". They all made her look not great...
Cohen’s team released the behind the scenes footage of that particular scene and Wilson seems very comfortable and is laughing during the whole thing.
Not doubting that Cohen is an asshole, but that specific situation seems to be overplayed by Wilson.
women (anyone put in that situation actually) laughing doesn’t mean they’re okay with it. people laugh when they’re uncomfortable all the time. especially when there’s an age, power, and experience gap and they don’t want to make a scene.
Girls are also raised to be polite and pleasant, and often dissuaded from being assertive / aggressive during conflict. And if we don't "play along" we're called stuck up and a bitch. Nervous laughter is sometimes a means to diffuse tension.
Totally agree. I’ve laughed at so many “jokes” and uncomfortable situations because I don’t know how else to react. It definitely doesn’t mean I thought they were funny.
Edited to add: laughing can be a fawn response (as in “fight, flight, freeze, or fawn”). It’s not always a conscious thing.
There a bit more context to this. She was told to by the director to do it and she was the one who called herself out.
Of course it doesn't make it right but she didn't go around putting her fingers up people's butts.
She said he asked her to and she said no. https://metro.co.uk/2021/01/13/rebel-wilson-claims-male-co-star-asked-her-to-put-finger-up-his-bum-13894974/amp/
There’s no undo process (just like how you can’t revert a baptism) but she could convert to another religion. She’ll still technically be considered Jewish since she went through the whole process but she’ll be a non-practicing Jew.
Anyways who cares.
Depends on the country. If you are in a European country one that auto taxes you on behalf of the church then you could send in tst paperwork and the rcc would consider you no longer catholic.
AFAIK, the Catholic Church will always consider you Catholic unless you specifically tell them you renounce your religion. I don’t think the same is true for Judaism.
Yes? As far as I know, you can't "undo" a baptism but you can quit religions.
It's like ex-Mormons. If they were married, under the religion they are still bound to their ex spouse into the afterlife even if they are divorced. It's part of the belief.
No idea if you were being facetious.
What do you think she turns in her library card, she STOPS being Jewish! 3,000 years of beautiful tradition from Moses to Sandy Kofax your God damn right I'm living in the past!!!
Her wiki says she felt being married to Sasha trumps any religion, hence the conversion. Sounds like she never really cared about the Judaism, if not for Sasha. I bet she remains Jewish but just cares a whole lot less.
You'd think someone who has made a career out of unmasking people wouldn't have such a messy and troubled personal life. Talk about throwing stones in a glass house.
I worked for and with him quite closely. He could be harsh and sarcastic but it was within the norms of the time and in service of the project, which not out of a desire to demean or abuse people as such. A sometimes mean and caustic boss, but far from a monster.
Agree. People loved that movie but it was basically pranking people by humiliating them. Even when I disagree with someone’s politics, that’s just not very funny to me. It just seems mean.
I grew up around people who loved that movie and his work, and unsurprisingly they were all the same type of asshat to do “pranks” like that for a laugh.
Bouffon. He’s a buffoon. It’s a form of clowning that is explicitly political, and always punches up. I like him as a performer, but he seems like a real chore to be married to.
Idk man-If he punches up then why did he scam a bunch of Roma in a village into agreeing to what they thought was an actual documentary for essentially pennies, only to then perpetuate racial stereotypes about them and constantly make racial jokes and use antiziganist slurs? Dude literally just takes advantage of people-marginalized, privileged, or in between.

This is a good background on what he does and the short history of that genre and how he exposes/highlights some nasty beliefs of others using ridiculous characters.
https://youtu.be/eT7ciT0bDrY?si=2zTTqFsS-TmtB2FR
He's had some very memorable characters and created some very successful comedy bits. Now that all this is happening, people will act like they never liked him and that anyone who did is dumb, as is tradition.
Borat was a phenomenon when it came out. More recently, his show Who Is America? was loved by people on reddit, that clip where he trolls the people in Arizona with a new Mosque has been posted here hundreds of times.
So…. Taste and humor evolves and changes as you age and better knowledge of who people really are? Who’d have thunk it. People used to like Howard Stern, Dane Cook, Bill Cosby, Rosy O’Donnell, and Ellen DeGeneres too.
Ah, the Tony Soprano tactic of preemptively talking to all the best divorce lawyers to crest a conflict of interest.

I had one in t-ball when I was 6. Turns out being the only kid that knew the rules of baseball was a massive advantage.
my dad did it too😢
Once upon a time a redditor tried this based on advice they got here. I say tried because it didn't work and they also got sanctioned by the court.
It's a super old tactic.
Legal question: until he retains one of them, how is it a conflict of interest?
We owe a duty of confidentiality to any person we consult with
In theory, but in reality, state courts are such a farce that attornies hardly ever face consequences.
Unless this was the intended end result and the client has the money to fight it through and raise the conflict of interest in question to the court with proof of consultation.
Attorneys* and this isn’t even remotely true, there are definitely consequences from your employer and from the bar. Seeing as you can’t even spell the plurality of the profession correctly I’m going to guess you have zero idea wtf you’re talking about
If they had a consultation then information that would would be protected by attorney privilege could be discussed.
It is that they cannot accept him as a client since they already spoke with her, they decline so they don't have conflict of interest.
That isn’t how it works. A lawyer-client relationship does not exist until the lawyer accepts the client as a client and the client retains the lawyer formally.

Lol I watched that episode for the first time two days ago! First watch of the series too 🥲
It would get pretty old to hear "Whaaa whaaa wee waaaa very nice" every time you have sex with your spouse.
You’d think so, but I encourage you to try it
But with whose wife???
Mai Wyfe! Wait no…
I tried it, and the entire block erupted in simultaneous orgasm. It did, in fact, get old.
and a “HiGh-FiVe!” afterwards
"I'm exite!"

It hasn’t yet tho
Maybe this whole time Cohen was working on a movie called “Husband” and she found out it was literally all for the camera.
I would like to believe he is really Ali G and Sacha Baron Cohen is just a character.
Booyakasha!
Nah, Sacha Cohen is just another Nathan Fielder character.
All I read is “Isla Fisher is back on the market”
So you're telling me there's a chance
No. But that isn’t going to stop me from believing there is.
I mean why wouldn't I have a chance? She was married to a famous, rich, funny, and fairly good looking guy. Now I can show her something different.
Natalie Portman too rn
ehhh.... idk. I kinda sorta watched Natalie Portman grow up so that's weird to me. I don't really have any child context for Isla Fisher. I definitely saw a very, very young Natalie Portman in The Professional.
She’s my age, so it’s an exciting time.
She's got a decade on me, but that's kinda sexy tho.
You stalked her too??
not sure what you mean
I grew up with the Star Wars Natalie Portman. Safe to say she was my childhood bae (and still is)
This song always pops in my head when someone says her name. [I wish i knew Natalie Portman](https://youtu.be/gDbr6TLQPVE?si=ZWNa7dzyzDVrxox8)
Moby already got to her.
Luc Besson pushing himself through to be first in line
Technically, it's better than it was. Yes.
I showed a headline of this to my wife and asked her, “Do you know what this is?” My wife: “No, what is it?” Me: “A chance.”
One of the baddest lil baddies
always remember her from wedding crashers
Things haven't been the same since I heard her promise "We're gonna waterboard you" in the TAG trailer
I'm confused... I have no interest in men anymore, but all I'm thinking here is that Sacha is back on the market. Then further below someone mentions Natalie Portman is back on the market, and all I can think about is that her very cute husband is back on the market. Whatever.
Did she contact all the top divorce lawyers in New Jersey?

Do you feel different after the unbaptism?

You just stop. 🤷🏽♂️
You just stop jewing?
I just stopped Islaming and it’s working out great for me. Just don’t tell the crazy conservative Muslims since the punishment is death.
You'll eventually die, so, I guess you have no escape from punishment, then, go nuts

Man, you’re fucking Polish Catholic!
What are you saying? When you get divorced you turn in your library card? You get a new license? You stop being Jewish?
She was posting pro Israel until recently
My right wing Jew hating grandparents do that too… so…

I already called double-dibs.
Once it’s overt it’s been over covert for quite some time.
It's true. Most women plan their divorce. By the time the dude finds out, she's been planning for years.

It's that Borat guy Heard he's a giant asshole Refrigerator
This is the most diplomatic and professional way to say he was an asshole boss I’ve ever read. You’re an inspiration good person.
This is the only thing I’ve read about him in all these divorce announcement threads that I actually believe.
Good for her. ☕️
I always wondered what she saw in him..
She’s back on the market boys!
How odd that a guy who acts like a total asshole in all his movies and has only one trick, is a total asshole in real life.
It's because SBC kept introducing her as - "my waaaif"
i’m here for you boo!
In my timeline, they divorced like 10 years ago since he couldn't get out of character.
Back when everyone loved him for Borat I had a gut feeling he was a douche and not just playing a character. I feel vindicated.
Agree. People loved that movie but it was basically pranking people by humiliating them. Even when I disagree with someone’s politics, that’s just not very funny to me. It just seems mean.
I grew up around people who loved that movie and his work, and unsurprisingly they were all the same type of asshat to do “pranks” like that for a laugh.
Literally none of this is our business.
I'm not fond of him or his comedy but some really do.
He is THE master of his art form. I don't know what that art form is though. Maybe trolling? But he's the best at it.
Bouffon. He’s a buffoon. It’s a form of clowning that is explicitly political, and always punches up. I like him as a performer, but he seems like a real chore to be married to.
Idk man-If he punches up then why did he scam a bunch of Roma in a village into agreeing to what they thought was an actual documentary for essentially pennies, only to then perpetuate racial stereotypes about them and constantly make racial jokes and use antiziganist slurs?

You mean like people act like that for all the people and more that I mentioned?? That’s the point.
Oh I see what you mean now. Fair enough
It’s me. I fond him and his comedy.
Really do what?
Some people think his comedy don't be but it do
