Adam Rossen vs. Derek Martin: Should Lawyers Be TikTok Famous? | Devil’s Advocate

Chicago grit meets South Florida heat this week on Devil’s Advocate, as Derek Martin and Adam Rossen square off on censorship, cheeseburgers, clout, and credibility… and things get hot—“South Florida hot.”

On today’s show, we’re debating medium-spicy topics from fast food regulation to whether lawyers should be TikTok famous (spoiler: probably not).

But the chaos didn’t stop there… Derek and Adam put their imagination to the test by inventing a definition for the totally made-up word “plorish.”

Call it comedy, call it courtroom training—just don’t call it credible legal advice.

🔥 Highlights from the Showdown

🗣️ Social Media Censorship or Free Speech?
Adam argued for curbing harmful content to protect society, while Derek fired back that moderation’s a slippery slope. The real question: do you trust big tech or the wisdom of the crowd?

🍔 Fast Food Freedom vs. Regulation Nation
Should the government police your burger habit? Derek says protect public health, Adam says keep the McNuggets coming (Walmart scooters included).

📱 Are Influencers the New Celebrities?
Adam insists TikTokers have star power. Derek says real fame takes more than selfies and pranks.

⚖️ Lawyers on Social Media: Credible or Corny?
Is going viral a marketing edge or a professional risk? Both sides threw jabs at #LawTok.

🐙 Define: “Plorish”
The only definition battle you’ll ever want to witness.

Final Verdict:
Call it a hung jury: Derek roasted influencers, Adam defended fast food freedom, and somehow “plorish” left us all questioning reality.
