Brett & Brad

Brett and Brad are sort of loopy in the afternoons for pre-recorded shows, but we still manage to discuss leap seconds (like leap days but smaller), why they exist, and why they're going away. After the break, we talk the recently discovered, long-theorized, quasi-star. Though the much better name is black-hole star. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Brett and Brad follow up on something that bugged Brad last week and discuss judicial standards, specifically how courts review constitutional questions of violated rights and the Bruen decision made analyzing the 2nd Amendment unique. After the break, we talk the 1st Amendment, its various pieces, and the origin of the "yelling fire in a crowded theater" trope. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Brett and Brad get confused about some plays before moving on to baseball plays in lamenting The Guardians' loss in the ALCS and reflecting a bit on the season. We continue our top 10 countdown of the top 10 amendments in the Bill of Rights with number 2: Guns. After the break, we talk election season attack ads that everyone loves so much. We try to scratch just below the surface of at least 1 smear claim against each of the major candidates in Ohio running for Governor and Senator. Hosted on Acast.

Brett and Brad delve the deep depths of the 3rd amendment to Constitution that places limits on the quartering of soldiers. We discuss the upcoming general elections and voting habits. After the break, we brave (maybe not so brave if we both agree) ethical questions around the composting of human remains, and the announced upcoming military execution to be livestreamed. Thank you to our caller! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Brett and Brad start on an extended tangent about 'Linguistic Relativity', a term Brad couldn't recall at the time, that theorizes that the vocabulary and structure of the language(s) you know influence how you fundamentally think and reason about things. Brad ties this to 1984's newspeak and the recent executive order renaming Artificial Intelligence as Super Intelligence. Brett shares the origin of why you don't say "Macbeth" in a theater. After the break, Brett entices you to see the CWRU MFA show, "Pocatello" at Playhouse Square. Finally, Brad discusses the 4th Amendment and discusses one judge's opinion that Flock camera surveillance is unconstitutional. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
