OA 677 (D&D Part 2) Show Notes

I neglected to post these earlier but here are my notes and sources.

OA678: Dersh's Sanctions Defense Somehow Keeps Getting Worse

It's just so bad and so dumb. Somehow these people are lawyers. Their arguments make T3BE look like a legal master class. Listen in for the hilarious details!

Here are the show notes!

OA677: Our Critical Hit (Piece) On the Gizmodo's Critical Hit (Piece) on Wizards of the Coast

Hooo boy! Lots of very energetic feedback on our DnD episode. Spoiler: many, many people think Andrew totally biffed the analysis. So, he's gone through a ton of it and has some fresh analysis for you. Is this an Andrew was wrong? Find out!

Here's the fb thread where you can insult Andrew. Here are the 2023-01-17 08:39:17 +0000 UTC View Post

OA676: Kel McClanahan on the Biden Docs

The story of the classified documents found in various Biden related locations is still developing, but National Security Counselors Executive Director Kel McClanahan joins us to give his expert opinion on what we know so far!

#T3BE 311 - Full Question Text

Thomas got 310 correct, and is now 165-for-310 (53.2%) -- will his winning streak continue??

OA675: Gizmodo's Critical Hit (Piece) on Wizards of the Coast

The internet is aflame over a leaked draft of Wizards of the Coast new licensing agreement for Dungeons and Dragons. But, should they be? Our resident legal expert Andrew says no and calls the Gizmodo piece that started all of this "irresponsible fear mongering." Listen in to find out why!

OA 675-77 SHOW NOTES (D&D!)

Enjoy!  There's so much we still didn't get to cover....

NEW INTRO QUOTES THREAD

You know the drill - post your clips of 15 seconds or less here & upvote with the heart the ones you want on the show intro.  Tips:

1) link the actual clip at the time stamp so we can quickly play it -- if you just link us to "My Cousin Vinny" and say "play the part about the two utes," we're not gonna do that

2) choose good quality audio

OA674: Norm Pattis Is Taking A Little Mandated Break From Lawyering

You know the deal, Liz Dye Wednesday! Wednesdye! Liz breaks down Norm's little mandated vacation...

Sorry for the ad!!! I've been given 40 lashes

Ugh I had the nice shiny patreon ad free version all ready too and just somehow effed the upload, and now with the dynamic ads they tricked me into thinking the regular version was longer, which is my normal easy check. I'll make sure to always check timestamps pre-that.

Here let me undo it, definitely do NOT sign up at Green Chef to get very convenient boxes with delicious meals and premade and measured ingredients. DO NOT use code oa60. Under any circumstances. Green Chef is NOT the ...

OA673: "Don't Sanction Me, I'm Old!" – Dersh

Definitely not anyone that we know of's Ethics Professor Alan Dershowitz has responded to his sanctions motion with a bunch of feeble lies. In other words, more unethical stuff. Listen in for why his defense is terrible.

OA672: How Conservative Courts Rewrite History

Andrew takes us back into Citizens United to illustrate for the umpteenth time just how glaringly dishonest originalists are, and the rabbit trail takes us all the way to 1910's Montana and elections bought and paid for at $750 a pop.
In the first segment, is Clint Curtis f@cking crazy? Yes. So, despite what Andrew said in a past episode, he will NOT be following up with him. Then, Thomas AND Chat GPT take the bar exam!

OA671: Speaker McLOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Sorry this is just so funny and we all deserve to enjoy it. We recorded this early due to a cyclone that wasn't very bomb, and yet everything Andrew said and researched remains perfectly timely as of release due to the fact that McCarthy has failed EVEN MORE VOTES. It's so great. But Andrew has for us a deep-dive on the history of this, and just how unprecedented it really is.
PLUS an update – Elon Musk is still an idiot. And SO bad at business. Just... so, so bad.

#T3BE 310 - Full Question Text for Patrons

(D) is a typo and should read "probably unconstitutional."

So good...

OA670: Cassidy Hutchinson's Lawyer Was Working Against Her

Liz Dye joins us to break down the J6 bombshell news that Cassidy Hutchinson's own lawyer was apparently... not her lawyer. It's some extremely unethical stuff. Possibly criminal? Listen in!

#T3BE 309 - Early Result for Patrons

Thomas picked (A) and got it right again; he's now 164-for-309 (53.1%).

OA669: The Witnesses Against Donald Trump

So much more from the Jan. 6th committee is out, and that means our esteemed Andrew Torrez stole away from holiday cheer to read hundreds and hundreds of pages of documents. What do they reveal? If Trump is indicted, who will actually make a good witness against him? The answers MAY surprise you.

#T3BE 309 - Full Question Text for Patrons

Also, you now know that Thomas got question #308 correct, picking (A), and is now 163-for-308 heading into this one.

OA668: A New Case Right Wing Sources Are Blatantly Lying About

Calling all Uncles Frank for a frank but respectful breakdown of how your right wing media sources are simply not telling you the truth. A laughably terrible "Supreme Court Petition" is going to "Rewrite the History of American Politics." Except... it will do no such thing.
So if you've got an Uncle Frank in your life who you are seeing over this holiday break, point them to this episode and maybe we can start finding a tiny bit of common ground!

OA667: The Referrals Have Been Made. Now What Will It Take To Convict?

Andrew gives us that signature OA approach, having read every case relevant to the law Trump has potentially violated. What does the case law tell us about how to convict him?

OA666: This Week on Liz's LOLsuits

Alright look we forgot it was episode 666. But Trump has sued the Pulitzer committee and it is HILARIOUS. And... satanic? Ok no but we can pretend. Liz Dye is here with the breakdown!

#T3BE 307 - Early Answer for Patrons

Thomas gets this one wrong, picking (A) essentially at random instead of the correct answer, (B). On the next episode, we discuss a "general warranty" deed versus other forms of deeds -- including the "quitclaim deed" discussed just last episode!  Thomas is now 162-for-307 (52.8%).

OA665: Kari Lake Should Have Quit Several Sanctionable Lawsuits Ago. And Yet She Hasn't.

Andrew breaks down several lawsuits that threaten Democracy, albeit incredibly ineptly and feebly. They are hilariously terrible.

OA664: Trustees Call BS on Alex Jones's Bankruptcy Shenanigans

Andrew untangles the vast web of Alex Jones's bankruptcy and uses it as an opportunity to educate us on bankruptcy law! Chapter 7 vs 11 vs... 5? Find out what it all means and why no one is buying Alex Jones's maneuvering.
