love the stories about Dan... reminds me of my own grandfather!!!
juicy fruit gum was strictly American still at the time.
love Tommy's railroad stories!!!!
This episode probably didn’t age so well…
The railroad stories were the best!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
i love your episodes but I didn't sign up to hear about your political slant. There was a way to talk about what happened on Jan. 6 without lumping in 70 million people who "think it's OK." I realize this was probably put out before the FBI findings came back but still, keeping your biasness out of it does wonders. I signed up for this pod because I love law and find it fascinating. If I wanted to know why Trump was bad, I would put on CNN. Stay in your lane.
Sounds like some bull shit infringement on personal liberty to me.
There has been enough evidence put out now, you should REALLY revise this entire episode.
is it just me or do their voices sound deeper than normal?
that final thought is why consequential libertarianism fails...
Thanks so much. I am a court Interpreter and this is a great way for me to learn new terms and have fun at the same time. love it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"she had cooked and served 8 different families " ... is that exactly what you meant to say (ot maybe I just heard wrong but...)
unusually naive on this episode vis-a-vis child marriage...
