Name: Episode 2: Lawyer Brain, Pt. 1 - Be Like Brett by ALAB Series
Duration: 1 h 26 min 28 s
Description: Do you want to go to law school? Do you have a terminal case of Lawyer Brain? Andy, Michael, and Tarik describe the most optimal route to catching this debilitating affliction.

Which one of you has the gravely voice? Gravel- eee

Tarik with the best quote of the entire podcast. 

Andy, Michael, Tim, and Tarik discuss "race norming" and related statistical shenanigans being used in courts today -- most famously in the NFL's concussion class action settlement -- to disadvantage women and people of color, a facially indefensible practice that somehow goes virtually unchallenged.

Episode 21: The Racism's Baked Right In

Just days after the 9/11 attacks, a scrambling Bush administration -- using tools gifted it by the Clinton administration's triangulated response to the Oklahoma City bombing -- needed to seem tough on terror. It set its sights on the Holy Land Foundation, then America's largest Muslim charity. Andy and Tim, joined by our good friend Rhiannon of fivefourpod.com, chronicle the first of several brutal moves that would eventually topple the charity and land several of its leaders in prison.

Episode 23: The Scapegoat (Part One)

In perhaps the cruelest of his many attention-seeking stunts, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis defies the will of Florida's citizens, who voted overwhelmingly to restore voting rights to their neighbors with prior felony convictions. Andy, Charles, Tim, and Tarik explore the derailing of a 150-year-long project to correct a lasting injustice.

Episode 28: Something Given Has No Value

This week: Robots stealing jobs in Japan, Australian companies at the forefront of future wasteland enemy technology, a personal insight into grease theft, and the Clipping Report.

EPISODE 275: The Pengelly 'With Meat' Hypothesis

Bonus Episodes

Holly Silverbell hates the holidays—ironic for someone from the quaint Christmas town of Kringleville. Can a whirlwind romance with local hunk Dallas Dasher teach her the true meaning of Christmas? And also she has to catch a serial killer.

The perfect crime. The perfect criminal. The Perfect Client.
