In this episode, the Goods from the Woods Boys are talking to stand-up comedian James Frey (not the disgraced author that Oprah got mad at) about his time working as a medic and ambulance driver and all the crazy things he saw. Then, we delve into the deeply sick psyche of America as we profile the strangest requests ever made of Subway Sandwich Artists. From burned pickle slime to mountains of goop and onions, this country is wicked and depraved to say the least and one need look no further than people's Subway orders. James Frey is absolutely hilarious and this episode is a hoot! Follow James on Twitter @JamesFreyComedy. Follow the show on Twitter @TheGoodsPod.

Opening Arguments - OA295: A Bladensburg Post-Mortem With Monica Miller
Today's episode welcomes Monica Miller, counsel for the American Humanist Association, back to the show! Miller, as you know, was the lead counsel and presented the AHA's argument before the Supreme Court in the American Legion v. American Humanist Ass’n case involving the 40-foot Latin cross on public property in Bladensburg, Maryland.
Andrew and Monica spend the entire show doing a deep dive into the decision, trying to figure out issues like (1) is the Lemon v. Kurtzman test really dead?; (2) how can we make sense of the court's admonition to "respect the beliefs" of those who oppose taking down the cross?; (3) how can local activists proceed in light of this decision, and much, much more!
After a wide-ranging interview, it's time for the answer to what Andrew has dubbed the Worst, Stupidest Bar Exam question -- this one involving the "equitable conversion" doctrine in the sale of land. Did Thomas somehow manage to get a crazy, stupid, awful real property question correct? Listen and find out!

The Intelligence from The Economist - In the after-Ba’ath: Syria’s rising Kurds
For years, Syria’s Kurdish people were largely invisible: their language, flag and festivals were all suppressed. Now, in much of the country’s north and east, they rule over the Arabs who once ruled over them. A brutal murder in a sleepy German village sparks angst about a resurgent far right. And, the surprising trend of American-style debate in China.
