You might have heard this one before -- for years, various fringe researchers and commentators have argued that the government or some other shadowy entity is purposefully changing the gender of amphibians (specifically, frogs) throughout the United States. So what's the truth behind the headline? Join Ben, Matt and Noel as they separate the hilarious fiction from the disturbing facts of the case.

In this episode, the Goods from the Woods Boys are joined by L.A. radio legend, Steve Chiotakis, Afternoon News Anchor for KCRW here in Los Angeles! So, we figured that since we have a legitimate newsman in the studio, we might as well talk about the moment in 2009 when the news (specifically 24 hour cable news) "jumped the shark". On October 15, 2009, the nation was captivated by events in the skies above Denver, Colorado where a UFO shaped balloon supposedly carrying a six year old boy named "Falcon" inside of it was floating across the sky and the nation was RIVETED. When the balloon laded, there was no boy inside, and suddenly everything just exploded. The whole story of the Heene Family is one of the craziest things you'll ever hear and you will be surprised (or maybe you won't be) to find out what they're like now. This episode is such a good time. Follow Steve on all forms of social media @RadioChio.

Today's episode takes a deep dive into two important Supreme Court opinions decided last week: McCoy v. Louisiana, which prohibits attorneys from conceding their client's guilt over that client's objections in a capital murder trial, and Murphy v. NCAA, which struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA), 28 U.S. Code § 3701 et seq. In both cases, we hope to show that these cases have two legitimate sides. We begin, of course, with sportsball. What is PASPA, why did the Court strike it down, does it make sense, and most importantly: when can you bet against the San Jose Sharks? In the main segment, we break down the difficult questions surrounding the representation of capital murder defendants. After that, we head back overseas with a really insightful listener comment that takes us deeper into the law of treaties. Finally, we end with the answer to Thomas Takes the Bar Exam Question #76 about present recollection refreshed.

The first case we break down is Murphy v. NCAA, which struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, 28 U.S. Code § 3701 et seq.
After that, we turn to McCoy v. Louisiana, which prohibits attorneys from conceding their client's guilt over that client's objections in a capital murder trial, distinguishing the Court's earlier decision in Florida v. Nixon, 543 U.S. 175 (2004).
