This episode dishes the dirt on "Dance Moms" star Abby Lee Miller's conviction and sentencing.

Strip club employment policies go under the microscope (and it's as gross as you think).

On this episode, we talk religious free exercise law. There's the First Amendment, the RFRA, and the RLUIPA. Ex-Navyman Matthew Maxon helps me work on cursing like a sailor in reaction to all the frustrating aspects of the laws in this area.

Check out Matthew and his co-host Erik Ryder on the Odd Atheist Friends podcast!

Yep, I screwed up again. Sound issues in this episode caused me to put in a marathon thirteen-hour editing session. By 1:30 in the morning, I thought I was done but it turns out there were editing glitches. I fixed them, so enjoy.  :-)

On this episode, comedian Chris Duffy stops by to discuss legal rights of those wacky animals and their role in the justice system.

- Informant parrots

This episode has been edited from the version uploaded last night in order to fix a small editing glitch.

Additionally, I do apologize for the intermittent sound distortion throughout. I'd like to blame it on Zencastr, but it's probably due to something stupid I did during the interview portions.
