Show notes

It what has become as part of politics and the convention strippers, impeachment is back for another season. Joel explains why impeachment works, and is here to stay. Just remember - don't sue the messenger.

The NFL floats the idea of taking over college football as a minor league system. Is this just testing the waters to see the public's reaction? Or will we soon be seeing the Alabama Cowboys v. the Ohio State Patriots?

A study is out that shows judicial sentencing is harsher on weeks following an upset loss by the local football team. No wonder incarcerations are up in Dallas. Here is a link to the study: https://pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/pdfplus/10.1257/app.20160390

Prime Time Deion Sanders, Murdaugh’s new trial and a bad dog reaches Supreme Court Sep 07, 2023

Show notes

Coach Prime Time Deion Sanders might be the best athletic participant ever. Chris makes his case, and a reluctant Joel quasi agrees. He has had an amazing career, and his coaching career has been nothing short of spectacular. Who else compares?

Smoke some turkey this weekend, because it's back to the Big 8! Nebraska v. Colorado. This game promises to be must watch TV, but it will make you miss the good old days. And yes, Joel is old.

In legal news, Alex Murdaugh's attorneys have filed a motion seeking a new trial, and their motion is very strong. Among the allegations are that the County Clerk fabricated a Facebook post to get a juror kicked off, a juror who would have voted not guilty. If you enjoyed round 1, you might get a round 2.

And finally, do you think dogs should jump up on people or things? Well believe it or not, but that exact issue is now before the United Stated Supreme Court. Yes, we now have Fido's attention.

Trump Indictment Groundhog Day Version and Blind Side Shakedown Aug 21, 2023

Show notes

Stop me if you've heard this before - but Trump has been indicted. Chris and Joel discuss why this poses the most danger to Trump than the previous indictments.

Michael Oher is saying the Blind Side story was false, and he was never adopted. He is suing for the economic damages he suffered from a loving family taking him in, treating him as a son, and paving the way for him to earn millions in the NFL. It also might be worth noting that Michael Oher has a new book out that needs free publicity.

And finally, the NFL is back!

Trump’s latest indictment and college conference realignment: Greed, greed and more greed Aug 04, 2023

Show notes

In a play right out of the Democratic party playbook, Trump has been indicted again. According to Joel, this is the most laughable indictment yet as the prosecutor didn't even bring the charge everyone was looking for - inciting a riot. According to Chris, keep the indictments coming as Trump has yet to learn how to tell the truth. Sadly, both Joel and Chris agree that Trump egregiously lied to the American public about the 2020 election. Chris and Joel debate how the law should treat serial liars.

Fall is approaching, which means football is coming and conferences will be realigning. What will college football look like when the music ends?

A Florida judge gets reprimanded for hugging the lawyers after a death penalty case. Do we want our judicial system run by humans ... or AI?

Trump indicted and Kouri Richin’s Horrible Google Searches Jun 21, 2023

Show notes

Trump indicted. Again. What an interesting time we live in where the former President of the U.S. and current leader to be the next President is indicted, and the collective response is a yawn. But out of a duty of public service, Chris and Joel play lawyer and go through the indictment paragraph by paragraph to devise a winning strategy for both sides.

Kouri Richin's internet search history came to light. Chris and Joel debate whether these searches should ever be done on any computer anywhere. If you can think of a search that tops these searches, please let us know!

Supreme Court upholds Voting Rights Act, PGA and LIV merge and Jack Daniels is now for dogs Jun 09, 2023

Show notes

The allegedly conservative Supreme Court upheld the Voting Rights Act and struck down Alabama's congressional district boundary lines. To which Donald Trump responded by saying, "there's a Voting Rights Act?" Who knew?

The Supreme Court also ruled that VIP Products, a dog toy company, violated Jack Daniel's trademark rights by creating a dog toy named "Bad Spaniels." When asked to clarify its rulings, the Chief Justice said, "Meow."

The PGA and the LIV golf tours have merged, in a stunning display of hypocrisy. The PGA has been blasting the LIV tour for over 2 years, calling them thugs for taking Saudi blood money. Turns out, all money spends the same.

ChatGPT as your lawyer and Supreme Court preview Jun 02, 2023

Show notes

A lawyer used ChatGPT to write a brief and got busted. This is not high school. He didn't get busted for using ChatGPT to write the brief, he got in trouble when he essentially made "Chat" lead counsel.

It is now Supreme Court sweeps season. No one is getting voted off the Supreme Court island, though that could be fun. But this is the time where the Court grabs the public's attention by releasing all of its big decisions from the previous year. And there are some big cases yet to be decided. Affirmative action. Voting rights. Dog toys. We preview the biggest cases yet to be decided.

Kohberger pleads the fifth at his arraignment, Daybell is guilty after waving the white flag and Taylor Phillips’ hilarious new book May 25, 2023

Show notes

Bryan Kohberger was arraigned for stabbing four college kids. Every one wants to know why he did it. But at his arraignment, he just stood silent and wouldn't even plead. Kind of like my dog when I ask her if she chewed up my socks. Sometimes silence is not your golden ticket.

Lori Vallow Daybell was found guilty is near record time after her lawyers put forth no defense. I guess when you are on the record for saying your children are zombies and zombies should all die, then yea, maybe silence is your best play.

Taylor Phillips is one funny person! And that is not just my opinion. She won an Emmy for her comedy writing for the John Oliver show. Her new book "A Guide to Midwestern Conversations" is a must read. You can purchase your copy here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/708749/a-guide-to-midwestern-conversation-by-taylor-kay-phillips/

And finally, in an epic marketing masterpiece, LeBron James said he is thinking about retirement after he laid an egg in the NBA playoffs. Now NO ONE is talking about the fact his team was swept from the playoffs. Genius. Pure genius.
