In this VERY SPECIAL episode, the Goods from the Woods Boys once again combine forces with Monika Scott and Luke Jensen from the "What Did You Learn?" Podcast for a crossover episode on one of the most INSANE trilogy of documentaries ever created: 'Dancing Outlaw' (1991), 'Dancing Outlaw II: Jesco Goes to Hollywood' (1999), and 'The Wild Wonderful Whites of West Virginia' (2009) all about the White Family of West Virginia and their prodigal son: Jesco aka "The Dancing Outlaw". When filmmakers first came to Boone County, West Virginia in the late 80's to document the personal and professional life of the last mountain tap dancer, they had no idea they would find a modern day folk hero This episode goes into the obvious funny qualities of hillbilly livin' as well as the dark pall that late capitalism has cast over all of rural America. This episode is an instant classic and we can't wait for y'all to hear it. Just don't make no sloppy, slimy, eggs!

Opening Arguments - OA218: Ashers Baking Co., Net Neutrality & Stormy!
Today's (thankfully) Kavanaugh-free episode -- in honor of Thomas's appearance at QED in Manchester -- takes an in-depth look at the Ashers Baking Co. case, as well as developments at the state level to push for Net Neutrality. Oh, and we revisit OA's favorite legal genius, Stormy Daniels. Strap in, it's going to be a fun ride!
We begin with a lengthy discussion of the UK Supreme Court's ruling in Ashers Baking Co., which has been called the "Masterpiece Cakeshop of the UK." Is that accurate? Listen and find out!
Next, we walk through California's effort to protect Net Neutrality in that state, and the lawsuits filed by parties on all sides. What's going to happen? We tell you!
Finally, we take a brief look at Stormy Daniels and update you on the status of her lawsuit in California.
And then, of course, we end with an all new Thomas (and Chad) Take The Bar Exam #97 regarding the tort of negligent misrepresentation. Remember to follow our Twitter feed (@Openargs) and like our Facebook Page so that you too can play along with #TTTBE!

New Books in Native American Studies - David C. Posthumus, “All My Relatives: Exploring Lakota Ontology, Belief, and Ritual” (U Nebraska Press, 2018)
In All My Relatives: Exploring Lakota Ontology, Belief, and Ritual (University of Nebraska Press, 2018), David C. Posthumus, Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Native American Studies at the University of South Dakota, offers the first revisionist history of the Lakotas’ religion and culture in a generation. He applies key insights from what has been called the “ontological turn,” particularly the dual notions of interiority/soul/spirit and physicality/body and an extended notion of personhood, as proposed by A. Irving Hallowell and Philippe Descola, which includes humans as well as nonhumans. All My Relatives demonstrates how a new animist framework can connect and articulate otherwise disparate and obscure elements of Lakota ethnography. Stripped of its problematic nineteenth-century social evolutionary elements and viewed as an ontological or spiritual alternative, this reevaluated concept of animism for a twenty-first-century sensibility provides a compelling lens through which traditional Lakota mythology, dreams and visions, and ceremony may be productively analyzed and more fully understood.
Posthumus explores how Lakota animist beliefs permeate the understanding of the real world in relation to such phenomena as the personhood of rocks, ghosts or spirits of deceased humans and animals, meteorological phenomena, familiar spirits or spirit helpers, and medicine bundles. All My Relatives offers new insights into traditional Lakota culture for a deeper and more enduring understanding of indigenous cosmology, ontology, and religion.
