The Goods from the Woods - Episode #241 – “Wrestling Theme Gauntlet” with Carter Glascock

In this episode, the Goods from the Woods Boys welcome comedian Carter Glascock back to the show to run the WRESTLING ENTRANCE THEME GAUNTLET! The history of being accompanied to the ring by music goes back all the way to the days of the original "Nature Boy", Buddy Rogers! Since then, the quality of entrance music tends to be spotty AT BEST. Sometimes they're banal, sometimes they're hilarious, sometimes they're A BUNCH OF GODDAMN DENTAL DRILLS! This ep is one of the absolute funniest ones we've ever done! Come see Rivers on the road. Details at @RiversLangley on Twitter and follow Carter @Doctor_Clark on Instagram! Follow the show @TheGoodsPod.  Rivers is @RiversLangley  Dr. Pat is @PM_Reilly  Sam is @SlamHarter  Mr. Goodnight is @SepulvedaCowboy  Pick up a Goods from the Woods t-shirt at:  http://prowrestlingtees.com/TheGoodsPod

Opening Arguments - OA268: Article V Conventions (w/Lawrence Lessig)

Today's episode revisits the topic Andrew discussed briefly in Episode 252:  Article V conventions convened for the purpose of proposing amendments to the Constitution.  Joining Andrew is Prof. Lawrence Lessig, perhaps the most vocal liberal proponent of such conventions.  Andrew, you may recall, was skeptical and concerned about the risks that such conventions could pose.

Join Thomas, Andrew, and Prof. Lessig for a special 70-minute very deep dive and see if either one changes their minds!

After that, it's time for TTTBE #121 regarding executive orders.  As always, remember to follow our Twitter feed (@Openargs) and like our Facebook Page so that you too can play along with #TTTBE!

AppearancesAndrew was just a guest on Episode 464 of the Cognitive Dissonance podcast as their legal expert.  If you'd like to have either of us as a guest on your show, drop us an email at openarguments@gmail.com.

Show Notes & Links

  1. Here are the 14 states with Democratic legislatures and governors.
  2. This is the CNN/ORC poll Andrew referenced showing consistent high support for a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution.  And this is the Koch Brothers-funded ALEC initiative to convene Article V conventions.
  3. Click here to read Owings v. Speed, 18 U.S. 420 (1820), the first case Andrew discussed.
  4. Andrew also discussed Dyer v. Blair, 390 F.Supp. 1291 (N.D. Ill. 1975), and both lawyers talked about Coleman v. Miller, 307 U.S. 433 (1939) as the primary case for the political question doctrine.
