Michael Freedman joins Nathan on Thinking LSAT to share his story as a trial lawyer in some of the nation's most high-profile criminal cases. Along the way, he shares candid advice for law students about finding their path, building experience, and starting a firm. Michael emphasizes the importance of treating law school like a job, embracing trial work, and nurturing every professional relationship.4:00 – UC HastingsMichael recalls feeling bored during his 1L year but loving 2L because he finally began interacting with real lawyers. Nathan encourages students to approach law school the way Michael did. Michael offers two practical tips for success: treat law school like a 9-to-5 job and intentionally build life balance outside of school.27:10 – Federal Clerkship and Government PositionDespite participating in OCI, Michael didn't land a Big Law job. Instead, he worked during law school for a trial lawyer focused on white-collar defense, which helped him confirm his passion for criminal trial work. The client relationship aspect deeply appealed to him, influencing his decision to clerk after graduation. He landed a prestigious clerkship on the Ninth Circuit. While many of his peers moved into Big Law after clerking, Michael opted for a government role to gain more courtroom experience. When he eventually reached the typical endpoint for federal positions, he chose to start his firm rather than join another existing one.27:23 – Starting the Freedman FirmTo build his practice, Michael accepted every case, no matter the size, emphasizing that no case was too small in those early days. He believes that founding a firm requires an entrepreneurial mindset—one must enjoy thinking about how to acquire clients, how to handle hiring, and how to manage payroll. He later brought on another partner to help handle larger, more demanding cases.33:41 – Big Profile CasesMichael's work eventually led to invitations to co-counsel on major white-collar criminal cases, including representing Bill Cosby, working on R. Kelly's trial, and participating in Harvey Weinstein's appeal. Much of this work was in collaboration with Jennifer Bonjean, a highly respected trial attorney based in Chicago. These opportunities didn't happen by accident. They stemmed from years of deliberate effort in building strong professional relationships. Michael treats his referral sources like clients themselves, ensuring they're proud to be associated with his work and satisfied with the results he delivers.40:41 – Should Our Students Do What You Do?Michael poses a fundamental question to students: Do you know what kind of lawyer you want to be? He encourages students to take advantage of every opportunity to gain hands-on experience. Law firms require a diverse range of personalities and backgrounds to serve their clients effectively. He urges students to attend court and introduce themselves to lawyers, not just to network, but to genuinely learn. A sincere interest in the work can lead to meaningful opportunities.

There is a certain pattern in everything in live if we sit back and observe the people and placers around us! once you see it you can't unsee it like in the movie the Matrix. Men and a few women who become wealthy and don't follow the plot often find themselves outcast and in legal trouble by the powers that move Hollywood and the music industry. Shannon Sharpe is another person in a long list of them. Bill Cosby and his arrogance to try to surpass Hollywood with his own network, R Kelly and his infamous beef with Jay Z, Puffy with his beef with a world wide liquor company, Shannon Sharpe with the infamous Katt Williams interview. there is a pattern here of Fake morality many of these men have been dabbling in prostitutes, young girls, Drugs for years or decades no one cared because the powers that be dabble in it themselves, when these men fell out of favor with the powers that be now they are monsters! Craziness! The real monsters have already replaced them!https://youtu.be/0PRpoQZ5nQY

Dennis McNally was the Grateful Dead's publicist in the mid-‘80s, one of many reasons why he's supremely qualified to write his new book about the birth of the counterculture in America's West and East Coast and Britain. ‘The Last Great Dream: How Bohemians Became Hippies And Created the Sixties', a celebration of music, beat poetry, radical thinking, free speech and artistic liberty, seems even more precious now in the light of recent events. All sorts are discussed here, these being some of the highlights … … how the Summer of Love of ‘67 actually happened in the Fall of ‘66 in Haight-Ashbury. … “rigid, stagnant, terrifying”: early ‘60s America before the revolution. … the three key cities that “experimented with freedom”. ... how San Francisco “cherished strangeness” and had a self-proclaimed ruler, Emperor Norton, who created his own currency. … how the Grateful Dead - “the ultimate example of the bohemian pulse writ large in music” – spent $1m building a sound system when they were earning $125 a week. … the influence of Private Eye, Beyond The Fringe and That Was The Week That Was on British culture. And of Lenny Bruce, the Hungry I club, Bill Cosby, Woody Allen and Mort Sahl in America. … how Rebel Without A Cause and the Wild One helped establish the West Coast as rebellious. … “there are two flags of freedom – one to make as much money as possible, the other to be as open-minded and thoughtful about everything”. … Eisenhower said “in God we trust!” But which God? … the entire security for the 25,000 crowd at the Human Be-In in Golden Gate Park was two mounted policemen. … “nothing is more fun than researching”. ... how the counter-culture was created with very little money or technology.

The 100th episode of Our Sins and Woes brings back Jay Pat for a wild, unfiltered conversation about political contradictions and cultural chaos. The two go in on MAGA fans, firmware-level brainwashing, and how talking points feel less like opinions and more like software updates. They dig into the double standard around cancel culture, especially when artists like Cosby are still praised while Kanye gets dragged. There's heat, humor, and enough side-eyes to start a riot. It's exactly the kind of reckless celebration Episode 100 deserves.
Shannon Sharpe finds himself in the hot seat, and Ern and Iso are diving into the drama.

The Penn Relays have officially begun at the University of Pennsylvania—my alma mater—and once again, the historic Franklin Field is alive with the spirit of one of the oldest and most prestigious track and field events in the Americas. Hosted annually by Penn Athletics, the Relays are more than just a sporting event—they are a cultural moment, especially for the Caribbean diaspora.You simply cannot mention the Penn Relays without mentioning Jamaica in the same breath. Jamaicans have long been dominant and enthusiastic participants, from high school standouts to collegiate champions. The relays serve as a proving ground for emerging talent and a showcase of track royalty.I remember one year when I had the privilege to volunteer at the games. It was a moment I'll never forget—I met the likes of Bill Cosby, the Hon. Portia Simpson Miller (Jamaica's first woman Prime Minister), and track legends such as Asafa Powell, Usain Bolt, and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. The electric atmosphere, the sound of cheering crowds, and the buzz around potential stars from across the U.S. and Caribbean left an indelible mark on me.Yet, something feels different this year. While the 2025 Penn Relays have kicked off with their usual modest energy, there's a noticeable lack of media coverage and buzz. Surprisingly, many locals in Philadelphia I spoke to either weren't aware the Penn Relays were happening or didn't know what the event was at all. This is a stark contrast to years past, when the city would buzz with anticipation and pride.Still, the Caribbean diaspora and college track athletes from around the country are already making their way to the city, bringing with them a growing excitement that's starting to creep in. Although mainstream media has yet to fully engage, the passion of the people remains. A quick keyword search or hashtag scroll for “Penn Relays 2025” yields only a handful of results—disappointing for such a historic event.We remain hopeful that as the week unfolds, coverage will swell and the attention this event deserves will return. In these turbulent and uncertain times, we need events like the Penn Relays. They offer catharsis and community—a moment to celebrate excellence, heritage, and unity.Between the NBA playoffs and the Penn Relays, there's a lot to look forward to this week. Stay tuned—The Neoliberal Round and our YouTube channel may bring you interviews, event highlights, and the heartbeat of the city and its athletes as the games progress.Until then,Renaldo C.

Zak “RedPill78” Paine and Brad Zerbo bring the fire in this jam-packed episode of Altered State, where no narrative is safe and no elite gets a free pass. They kick things off with a brutal takedown of New York AG Letitia James, diving into the criminal referrals now looming over her, including bank, wire, and mortgage fraud, perjury, and a possible illegal residency claim that could upend her entire case against Trump. The irony? She might go down for the same “crimes” she weaponized against him. The duo then pivots to Harvard, celebrating the Trump administration's plan to revoke its tax-exempt status and cut off billions in federal funding. With DEI propaganda, institutional arrogance, and open disdain for America dominating higher ed, Zak and Brad argue it's long overdue. From there, it's full-speed cultural warfare as they shred Disney's Snow White remake, roast Hollywood's collapse, and highlight the rise of independent, faith-based media like The Chosen. They touch on race narratives, broken education systems, AI deepfakes, Raven-Symoné's eerie Hollywood memories, and whether Bill Cosby and Michael Jackson were targeted for bucking the establishment. It's sharp, irreverent, and unapologetically America First.
Celebrity gossip has always had a dark side. Those whispered tales of stars behaving badly, dying mysteriously, or hiding shocking secrets spread through Hollywood parties like wildfire, creating urban legends that live far longer than they deserve. Even in our hyper-connected age, these stories remain strangely persistent – because deep down, we want to believe.Kyle, Ben, and Alejandro gleefully dissect the wildest Hollywood myths you've definitely heard before. Remember when everyone swore Paul McCartney died in 1966 and was replaced by a lookalike named Billy Shears? The hosts untangle the bizarre web of "clues" fans claimed to find in Beatles album covers and songs played backward. Then there's the notorious Richard Gere gerbil rumor – a story so persistent it made its way into the movie "Scream" and prompted Barbara Walters herself to awkwardly address it during an interview.From Mr. Rogers' supposed secret life as a deadly military sniper to the enduring debate about Bert and Ernie's relationship status, we explore why these myths take hold and what they reveal about our culture. The team brings their trademark humor to these dark corners of entertainment history, finding the humanity and absurdity beneath stories that wouldn't die. Whether you're hearing these tales for the first time or fondly remember sharing them on your middle school playground, this episode will make you question what other "facts" you've accepted without evidence.Subscribe now and join our community of curious minds exploring entertainment's strangest corners.

We sit down with the second half with the legendary Janice Dickinson—Supermodel, author, reality TV icon, and an unapologetic truth-teller—for a conversation that's as wild, real, and iconic as the woman herself. From the moment she enters the room, Janice doesn't hold back. She opens about her past relationships and the betrayal she faced when a close friend—none other than Christie Brinkley—was caught up in a shocking cheating scandal with her then-partner. With unfiltered honesty, Janice dives into heartbreak, girl code, and how she found the strength to move on and demand better. But love wasn't done with her. Janice recounts the serendipitous moment she met her soulmate, Dr. Rocky Garner, on a blind date set up by his son. From their dreamy Chateau Marmont first meeting to his romantic rainy-day proposal over In-N-Out burgers, this real-life love story could be a Hollywood rom-com—except it's all real. Patrik shares the glamorous tale of how he proposed to Pol'—shutting down Rodeo Drive in true fashion—for their televised engagement on E!'s New Money. (Yes, it's now streaming on Peacock!) The conversation then turns to her reality TV resume—from America's Next Top Model to surviving in the jungle on I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! (three times!). Janice spills tea about fellow castmates, grueling stunts, public votes, and why she refused to eat certain local delicacies (bull eyeballs, anyone?). Of course we get into Hot Topics and Janice weighs in on Kanye West's wife Bianca Censori's controversial “outfits,” Jaden Smith's Grammys headpiece moment, and the AI-generated accents that landed Adrian Brody and Felicity Jones Oscar buzz. She's got strong opinions—and she's not afraid to share them. We also talk cancel culture, problematic past tweets, and whether artists like Carla Sofía Gascon should still be celebrated despite offensive remarks. Janice shares her own painful history with Bill Cosby, her role in the early days of the Me-Too movement, and how speaking her truth became part of her healing. Finally, we test her knowledge with a “Supermodel Pop Quiz” where she reveals behind-the-scenes stories about icons like Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Kate Moss, Heidi Klum, and Anna Nicole Smith. We reflect on Anna's tragic death—and how deeply personal that loss still feels. As always, we close with a fashion Runway Rundown and a coffee ground reading from Pol' who sees exciting things ahead for Janice, including global travels, new ventures, and a long-overdue moment of public recognition that will put her right back on the throne she deserves. From fashion and fame to heartbreak, healing, and hilarious truth bombs, this episode is pure Janice: raw, radiant, and relentlessly real. This is another Hurrdat Media Production.

Send us a textIn Philadelphia, a city known for great trial lawyers, our next guest stands out among them. Brian McMonagle began his career in the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office where in his twenties he became one of the youngest lawyers to prosecute high profile cases in the DA's Homicide Unit. Since then, Brian has gone on to represent actor Bill Cosby in a criminal trial, musical artist Meek Mill on a controversial probation violation proceeding, and other high-profile clients—among them athletes, politicians, physicians, movie and television personalities, judges, prosecutors, law enforcement officers, and CEOs. And with all this, as you'll hear in the great discussion we had with him, Brian has not lost his Philly roots, or the common touch.

When narcissistic, controlling people feel backed into a corner, meaning they're exposed, challenged, or losing control, they tend to react with a range of defensive, aggressive, or manipulative behaviors. Their reactions stem from a fragile ego, a deep-seated fear of losing power, and an inability to process shame or vulnerability in a healthy way. Some of the most high-profile examples of this play out with celebrities who have controlling or narcissistic tendencies and can't handle being held accountable. We're going to do something completely different today. I'm going to dive into three current and past celebrity cases: Ryan Reynolds' role in the legal battle involving Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, Bill Cosby's downfall, and Kevin Spacey's courtroom drama, to examine exactly what people with narcissistic tendencies do when they're backed into a corner. More importantly, we'll discuss what you can learn from these situations when dealing with narcissistic, manipulative people in your own life.____________________________Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/what-narcissists-do-when-backed-into-a-corner-lessons-from-celebrities-who-lost-control Calibration Exercise: Create a Positive Vibration to Start Your Dayhttps://youtu.be/8wtDzbxzQIsJoin Abby's One Love Collective Community on Patreon!Learn how to create and hold healthy, loving boundaries with my newest book on Amazon, Boundaries Made Easy: Your Roadmap to Connection, Ease and Joy https://abbymedcalf.com/boundaries or the Workbook: Boundaries Made Easier: https://abbymedcalf.com/boundaries-workbook Want to feel happier and more connected in your relationship?

By the mid-70's the Beach Boys appeared to be a band that had been left behind. Sales had been only moderate for their previous albums, and the band was struggling to determine their direction musically. In the summer of 1973 the movie "American Graffiti" featured several Beach Boys songs, creating nostalgia for the earlier surfing music.Between the revived interest sparked by "American Graffiti" and the success of the Beatles "Red" and "Blue" compilation albums, the Beach Boys released a collection of hits from their early 60's catalogue called Endless Summer. This featured songs from their Capitol Records days, 1962-1965. It was a near-instant success reaching the top of the charts in the United States four months after its release, and becoming their second number 1 album on the US charts. After the success of Endless Summer, the Beach Boys would reposition themselves as an oldies act, continuing in this vein for many years. Brian Wilson would pen one further Beach Boys studio album in 1977 which would meet with meager sales. Afterwards the band would focus on their classics until seeing a resurgence in the late 80's generated from another popular film, Tom Cruise's "Cocktail" Wayne brings us this surfin' themed compilation for this week's podcast. Catch A WaveA true surfing song, this tune is about being on a surfboard, waiting for the right wave to come along. This song was originally released on the 1963 album "Surfer Girl," and a rewritten version was recorded by Jan and Dean as "Sidewalk Surfin."Little Deuce CoupeThis track is about a 1932-vintage Ford model 18 hot rod used in drag racing on the streets of California. "American Graffiti" had featured the deuce coupe prominently, along with the Beach Boys song. The lyrics were written by local radio DJ Roger Christian.Shut DownAnother song about drag racing, "shut down" means you are about to beat the person in the race. The phrase "tach it up" may have lost some meaning in the era of automatic transmission, but the tachometer would run high for a drag race. The song is told from the perspective of the driver of a 1963 Corvette Sting Ray in a race against a 1962 Dodge Dart.Fun, Fun, FunThe inspiration for this song was a story the Beach Boys heard during a radio interview. The station owner described his daughter "borrowing" his 1963 Thunderbird to go to a drive-in hamburger shop. The opening riffs were inspired by Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode." ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Uptown Saturday Night by Dobie Gray (from the motion picture “Uptown Saturday Night”)Sidney Poitier starred in and directed this action comedy which co-starred Bill Cosby, Harry Belafonte, Richard Pryor, and Flip Wilson. STAFF PICKS:The Joker by the Steve Miller BandLynch leads off the staff picks with a well known song from Steve Miller. The names in the first line reference several of Miller's previous songs, as well as the made-up word "pompatus." It barely cracked the top 40 in the US, hitting 40 on the Billboard Hot 100. Miller borrowed some lyrics from the song "Lovey Dovey" when he talks about wanting to "shake your tree."The Air that I Breathe by the HolliesRob brings us a slow burning but iconic ballad that the Hollies covered. The original was from Albert Hammond, and previously covered by Phil Everly. The Hollies version was the most successful, going to number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100. Alan Parsons was the engineer on this song.Hollywood Swinging by Kool & the GangBruce's staff pick is the first number 1 R&B Single from Kool & the Gang. It was a crossover hit as well, going to number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100. Rick Westfield is the keyboardist for it and sings lead. The song is a true story of the keyboardist wanting to become "a bad piano-playing man" with the group. Rock and Roll Heaven by The Righteous BrothersWayne's features an ode to the rock stars who had died at an early age. This song is another example of a song that was covered, and did better than the original. Climax performed this song in 1973 but did not chart, while the Righteous Brothers took it to the top 10 in the United States. Lyric would be added in the years to come as more rock stars passed. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Chameleon by Herbie HancockThis jazz funk instrumental track closes out the podcast for the week.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In 03/01/25. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. This weekly broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS During our transition from Black History Month to (White) Women's History Month, we lost Dr. Alvin Poussaint and Roberta Flack. The latter was a renown entertainer who attempted to demonstrate black self respect in her artistry. Dr. Poussaint was a Harvard psychiatrist who invested more than a half century investigating the impact of the System of White Supremacy on people classified as black. He also worked with no count Bill Cosby on his eponymous 80's sitcom. In Germany, the AfD party, widely talked about as the "far right" party of Racism, finished in second place during this past weekend's presidential elections. White people in this part of the world are engaged in the same "anti-immigrant" (non-white people) conduct as people classified as White in the US. We'll also hear about the tacky, Racist response to a proposed memorial to honor Wisconsin murder victim Sade Robinson. #10Stops #MinimizeConflict #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Court TV unveils original limited series Trial & Error: Why Did O.J. Win?' Seven-part look at the Simpson murder case 30 years later to debut Feb. 16th Marking 30 years since the opening statements of what came to be dubbed "The Trial of the Century," Court TV announced today the launch of a seven-part original limited series, "Trial & Error: Why Did O.J. Win?". The series takes a deep dive into the infamous double murder trial of O.J. Simpson; a case that was captured by Court TV cameras and helped ignite the nation's ongoing obsession with true crime. Court TV will debut new episodes of "Trial & Error: Why Did O.J. Win?" on Sunday nights at 8 p.m. ET/PT starting Feb. 16th Utilizing Court TV's extensive library, "Trial & Error: Why Did O.J. Win?" will explore what went right for the defense, what went wrong for the prosecution and the perfect storm of legal strategies and surprises that led to one of the most controversial verdicts in history. The series highlights myriad vantage points from numerous trial participants, including attorneys, legal experts, Los Angeles police detectives and friends and relatives on both sides of the courtroom. Interviewees include Simpson defense attorneys F. Lee Bailey and Alan Dershowitz, LAPD Detective Mark Fuhrman, LA County and Simpson case Prosecutor Bill Hodgman, Lon Cryer (juror #6), victim Nicole Brown Simpson's sister Tanya Brown and the father and sister of victim Ron Goldman, Fred Goldman and Kim Goldman. "Trial & Error: Why Did O.J. Win?" is hosted by Michael Ayala, an attorney, Court TV anchor and Emmy-award winning true crime journalist. Court TV's Ted Rowlands serves as executive producer. Both Ayala and Rowlands covered the O.J. trial as reporters."Thirty years have gone by, and the O.J. Simpson trial - which Court TV documented as it unfolded - is still one of the nation's most consequential cultural touchstones," said Ethan Nelson, head of Court TV. "Through first-person interviews with people directly involved with the case, this series takes a provocative look into how the feverishly anticipated and deeply divisive jury verdict came to pass." Check out the trailer: Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wd14RTe433I "Trial & Error: Why Did O.J. Win?" episodes with premiere dates: Feb. 16 - Murders in BrentwoodA football star turned Hollywood actor is charged with the brutal murders of his ex-wife and her friend. The O.J. Simpson case enthralled the globe and became the "Trial of the Century". Thirty years later, the detectives, attorneys and families involved share their stories and why they believe the verdict remains divisive. Feb. 23 - The "Racist" CopLAPD detective Mark Fuhrman tells his side of the story after becoming a household name when the defense accused him of planting a bloody glove and labeled him a racist. O.J. Simpson walked away a free man while Fuhrman's life fell into shambles. March 2 - Domestic ViolenceO.J. Simpson's history of domestic violence was a focal point for the prosecution. The defense claimed it didn't prove he was a murderer. Nicole Brown's sister details the abuse within their relationship. March 9 - Racial TensionThe defense used the racial tension in Los Angeles to their benefit during the O.J. Simpson murder trial. The goal: convince jurors that the LAPD could not be trusted and were capable of planting evidence. March 16 - Attack the Timeline Did O.J. Simpson have enough time to murder Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman? The defense dissected the timeline to raise reasonable doubt. Detective Tom Lange and prosecutor Bill Hodgman explain their window of opportunity. March 23 - The Bloody Gloves It's the most infamous moment of the trial, when the prosecution forced O.J. to put on the bloody glove in court. Did this and "shoddy" police work lose them the case? Defense attorney F. Lee Bailey takes us inside the pivotal courtroom moment and how O.J.'s "Dream Team" attacked the flawed investigation. March 30 - Inside the Jury Room The world watched as the verdict in the "Trial of the Century" came down. The Goldmans share their reaction and Juror #6, Lon Cryer, describes what happened behind closed doors. Was justice served or did O.J. Simpson get away with murder? The double murder trial of Simpson - the college football phenom (Heisman Trophy recipient in 1968) who went on to become an NFL Hall of Famer and popular movie and television personality - riveted the nation during its nearly 10 full months in 1995. In addition to numerous dramatic courtroom moments, the trial was most notable for its strong racial overtones, its impact on the judiciary system and how it spurred Americans across the nation to openly discuss the issues surrounding domestic violence for the first time. The in-depth look at the O.J. trial 30 years later will complement a number of major cases that Court TV is closely covering in real-time, including the upcoming Arizona murder trial of "Cult Mom" Lori Vallow who is representing herself in court, the retrial of Karen Read in the killing of her boyfriend, and the trial of Bryan Kohberger, who stands accused of murdering four University of Idaho college students. MICHAEL AYALA BIO Michael Ayala, an attorney and EMMY®-Award winner, has returned to Court TV. Ayala has over 20 years of experience in-front of the camera. He previously was an anchor, reporter, writer and researcher for the original Court TV where he covered and reported on the cases involving O.J.

Will it all come crashing down on them?Along the way, we find out that most of the moonshine used to come from this very town, that you shouldn't ask random people from the tanning salon to kill your husband, and that you shouldn't wear the jewelry of the person you just murdered!!Hosted by James Pietragallo and Jimmie WhismanNew episodes every Thursday!Donate at: patreon.com/crimeinsports or go to paypal.com and use our email: crimeinsports@gmail.comGo to shutupandgivememurder.com for all things Small Town Murder & Crime In Sports!Follow us on...twitter.com/@murdersmallfacebook.com/smalltownpodinstagram.com/smalltownmurderAlso, check out James & Jimmie's other show, Crime In Sports!
