Today, Michigan lawyer Richard Hoeg posted his 58th video covering the Microsoft/Activision merger. No big deal, right? Except the video is his first since he suffered a stroke on 30 December 2022.
Friends, I don’t like sharing personal stuff and I don’t like getting religious, because you are welcome in my life no matter who you are. At this moment, idgaf. Rick is in the hospital. It’s am emerging situation; probably surgery tomorrow at 10am ET. Pray hard.

He had successful brain surgery on New Year's Eve and was removed from the ventilator on 3 January.
Update from @MrsHoegLaw on @HoegLaw. Highlights (paraphrasing) - Rick is free of the ventilator and sounds like batman; also, like a typical lawyer, he is questioning authority. Today was a good day. 🙏 pic.twitter.com/urKdloXnr1

Hoeg has received a lot of support from the YouTube legal community. Maybe the most widely known creator is Legal Eagle, who threw Hoeg a shoutout at the end of his video on the proposed new OGL 1.1 license for Dungeon & Dragons.
Perhaps on of Hoeg's lesser known efforts is his involvement with the Bitcast Podcast on the Seasoned Gaming YouTube channel as one of the regular hosts. Hoeg made his first YouTube appearance since the stroke on Bitcast 238 on 19 February. On the podcast he announced he wouldn't return regularly to YouTube until March.
Hopefully Mrs. Hoeg doesn't let him come back too fast, but seeing Hoeg back making videos was a sight for sore eyes. I mean, someone needs to explain this complicated legal stuff to me.
