Trump misses the court deadline to disclose his new policy on transgender personnel in the military. General Jim Mattis, Secretary of Defense, has delivered his confidential recommendations. Ronna Romney McDaniel and the Republican National Committee have voted and resolved to hate their fellow human beings.

Tom and Austin of the Dumb All Over Podcast enlighten me on the difference between worthwhile beer and non-worthwhile beer. We play judge on current brewery legal disputes, such as Corona's water-hogging in Baja California; Wal-Mart's selling of alleged fake craft beer; and Miller Coors allegedly trying to take down Stone Brewing.

This time:

We welcome guest Matt Johnson of the Vocalogical Podcast! http://vocalogical.com

Matt brings the knowledge on how castrati singers became a thing (hint: religion + sexism).

Also, views on the legal news are all about the pending priest-on-child sex abuse lawsuits in Guam. So far, one priest has admitted to 20+ victims. Archbishop Anthony Apuron is steadfast in his denial of all wrongdoing, and the court has just dismissed defamation claims against him.

Mea culpa, I later realized I accidentally credited King Alfred the Great with the unification of England. Duhhh! It was his son, King Edward the Elder (not to be confused with King Edward the First)! Also, Edward's sister Aethelflaed, Lady of Mercia, probably did half the work at least.

This is the special supplemental episode for everyone who wants to know what a tort is and how we ended up with the civil lawsuit system we have now in America. The inspiration for this supplement is the "prima facie tort" count of comedian Aaron Glaser's lawsuit against comedian Jasmine Pierce. It's an odd duck. Come with me as we sort it out together.

People who get shoved onto the public stage by allegations of sexual assault will rush the hell off that stage as soon as possible, right? Well, not always. New York comedian Aaron Glaser has been accused by eight women, and he is making sure everyone knows it. Glaser previously sued comedian Jasmine Pierce for defamation, and he has just filed another lawsuit against the Upright Citizens Brigade.
