Ann finally saw What the Health on Netflix after about 30 years. We discuss Commonsense Consumption Acts (CCAs) and how they essentially protect food makers from product liability.

Ann and Dan talk about mutual combat laws in the US. When Kwame Brown challenged Stephen A. Smith to meet him in a mutual combat state (Washington) where it's legal to engage in combat as long as both parties agree, Dan became interested in the subject.

Ann, Becky, and Dan have a conversation about some of the things that weren't taught to them when they were younger.

Ann rejoins the show for the first time in 2021 (at the expense of Becky) to discuss IRS regulations and IRS form 3911.

With Ann still MIA, Becky, and Dan have a conversation about their different experiences growing up. We also explore how it makes Becky feel when people tell her she isn't Black enough, doesn't talk Black, or they're in total disbelief that she is Black.

Ann, Becky, and Dan discuss jurisdiction. When most people hear the word jurisdiction, they immediately think of a geographic area.

This week we discuss what it means to be in contempt of court. Ann explains that there are two types of contempt of court, criminal and civil.

This is a conversation between Dan and PFromCharlotte from the latest episode of A Few Screws Loose, "A Thankless Job."

After getting some D jokes off, Ann and Dan discuss miscarriages of justice.

This week we discuss Pro Se. Ann describes pro se as the law's version of Pinterest (DIY). Ann recommends the use of an attorney for legal matters but lawyers aren't always necessary. With a little know-how and the ability to read there is a lot you can do yourself. Some courthouses have self-help desks where a professional will help you complete a…

The US still faces a major COVID crisis that threatens the health of our citizens and what's left of our democracy.

Over the last 3.5 years, we've watched the United States become what we can only describe as a failed state. Race relations are rivaling that of the 50s and 60s. The mismanagement of our government, the pandemic, and our judicial system, coupled with the police brutality and murdering of Black people with impunity, has made many of us at least cons…

This week we discuss the expiration of the eviction moratorium on 9/1. During the recording of this episode, another eviction moratorium was put into place lasting through the remainder of 2020.

With the 2020 presidential election nearing, we wanted to emphasize some of your rights as a voter. Things may look a little different in this election because of the COVID pandemic.

In light of all of the protests for social justice and racial equality, we decided to take a more serious look at the rights of protestors.

Ann, Becky, and Dan begin with talking about the demon witch, astral sex sperm donor Dr. Stella Immanuel, who fraudulently claimed to have a cure for COVID.

Ann and Dan have a conversation about the power of the executive order and how Trump's latest executive order isn't constitutional.

This week Ann and Dan discuss heirs' property. It is estimated that 76% of Black people today don't have wills.

We had the unfortunate opportunity here in New Orleans after Hurricane Katr…

Ann and Dan debate social distancing contracts that co-parents are using to prevent each other from taking their children to non-essential places or being around non-essential people. Ann believes that it's an attempt to control the non-custodial parent. Dan takes it at face value and believes it's for the children's benefit, especially if the othe…

Ann and Dan agree with the consensus that “defund” the police is poorly titled and misrepresents what people are calling for. When most people hear defund the police they think it means completely abolishing the police. In reality, it’s a plan to redistribute some of the funding from police departments to places that will make a real difference in …

This week Dan is holding it down solo while Ann is MIA. Let's blame it on Tropical Storm Cristobal or something.

In response to episode 119 "A Bloody City," Ann provides a rebuttal to Dan's assertion that New Orleans is one of the most violent cities in the US. Despite making the list of top 10 deadliest cities per-capita (at the time of recording), Ann believes it's not a "New Orleans thing." Not so coincidentally Baton Rouge, Louisiana also made the top 10 …

Recorded in 2019. Ann, Becky, and Dan talk about how and if society has become too politically correct.

Can you sue your employer if you contract the coronavirus at work? With so many low wage jobs classified as essential, minority communities have been disproportionately vulnerable.
