I adore Kelly Carlin. She is an amazing woman who has lived a fascinating life filled with unique challenges and experiences and uses it all to help others on our journeys. Yes. She is the only child of the legendary comedian and voice of a generation, George Carlin. She's got a Masters in Jungian psychology, though she is not a therapist. Regardless, she has helped (and continues to help) lots of us who face our own unique sets of problems, challenges and experiences. Kelly has guested on this show a few times over the years. I called on her to lead us in a guided meditation the first time D'ump somehow took up residence in the White House. That one is still one of my favorite episodes of this show. When my mind started rebelling a few weeks before November's election and did a number on me after the results were known, I reached out to Kelly for help. And she did! I'm doing quite a bit better now, though still struggling, as are so many of my listeners/viewers. I know because I've heard from so many of you. So I invited Kelly back on to help us all find a way to deal with the next four years. I know you'll find her refreshing, helpful, and funny too. And our timing is perfect, as she's got a few events/workshops coming up that you might want to take advantage of (and/or give as a gift to the people you know who could also use some help right about now.

This Day in Legal History: MLK Assassinated On this day in legal history, April 4, 1968, the civil rights movement faced a tragic moment when Martin Luther King Jr., an emblematic leader advocating for nonviolent resistance against racial discrimination, was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee. King's untimely death occurred at the Lorraine Motel, a location that has since been etched into the national consciousness as a site of profound loss and reflection. His assassination sparked an outpouring of grief and anger across the United States, leading to widespread riots in over 100 cities and a national mourning that underscored the deep divisions and tumultuous struggles of the era.In the immediate aftermath, James Earl Ray, a fugitive from the Missouri State Penitentiary, was identified and later apprehended at London's Heathrow Airport, marking the beginning of a controversial and complex legal saga. Ray was charged with King's murder, and in a move that avoided a potentially explosive trial, he entered a guilty plea, receiving a 99-year prison sentence. However, Ray recanted his confession three days later, claiming he was a pawn in a broader conspiracy, a declaration that fueled ongoing debates and investigations into the assassination.The legal reverberations of King's assassination extended beyond the pursuit and conviction of his killer. In response to the national tragedy, Congress was galvanized to enact further civil rights legislation, including the Fair Housing Act of 1968, which sought to eliminate housing discrimination against minorities, a cause King had fervently championed. Moreover, the assassination intensified efforts to ensure equal rights and justice, inspiring legal challenges and reforms that continued to shape the civil rights landscape.King's legacy, deeply rooted in his pursuit of justice and equality through peaceful means, has had a lasting impact on American legal and social fabric. His vision and teachings continue to inform contemporary movements and legal principles, demonstrating the enduring power of nonviolent resistance in the face of injustice. On this day, we remember not just the loss of Martin Luther King Jr. but the enduring influence of his life's work on the quest for civil rights and legal equality in America.Sanofi has agreed to settle approximately 4,000 lawsuits in the United States alleging that the heartburn medication Zantac, which the company previously marketed, is linked to cancer. This agreement aims to resolve most of the legal actions against Sanofi in U.S. state courts, except for those in Delaware, where the bulk of cases are still pending. Despite not admitting liability, Sanofi cited the desire to avoid the costs and distractions of ongoing litigation as reasons for the settlement, the financial terms of which were not disclosed. The company still faces around 20,000 additional lawsuits in Delaware, with both sides awaiting a crucial judicial decision on the scientific validity of the claims that Zantac causes cancer. This situation follows a 2022 victory for the drugmakers when a judge dismissed 50,000 similar lawsuits on the grounds that the plaintiffs' expert opinions lacked solid scientific support. Amidst ongoing litigation, Sanofi has introduced Zantac360, a reformulated version of the medicine, following the discovery of NDMA, a carcinogenic chemical, in some Zantac pills which led to its market withdrawal in 2020 by the FDA's request.Sanofi to settle 4,000 Zantac cancer lawsuits in US state courts | ReutersA New York judge has rejected former U.S. President Donald Trump's request to delay his upcoming trial over charges related to hush money payments until after the U.S. Supreme Court reviews a separate case regarding presidential immunity. The trial, set for April 15, involves allegations of falsifying business records to conceal a payment made to silence claims of a past sexual encounter ahead of the 2016 election, an encounter Trump denies. Trump's legal team had argued for the delay, citing the relevance of a Supreme Court case set for April 25 that will consider Trump's immunity claims related to actions taken during his presidency. However, Justice Juan Merchan dismissed the delay request, noting Trump's late invocation of presidential immunity as a defense.This trial in New York could potentially be the only one of four criminal indictments against Trump to proceed before the November election, where Trump is a Republican candidate. Additionally, Trump's lawyers have sought to postpone the trial due to concerns over prejudicial pre-trial publicity, though the court has not yet ruled on this matter. The Manhattan District Attorney's office has opposed the delay, arguing that unbiased jurors can be selected despite the extensive media coverage, much of which, they claim, Trump instigated. The decision by the Supreme Court to hear Trump's appeal in a federal case has already delayed that trial, highlighting the unprecedented nature of a former U.S. president facing criminal proceedings.Trump loses bid to delay hush money trial until US Supreme Court review | ReutersThe Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court is considering class action lawsuits against the collection of website users' browsing data without consent, a practice allegedly involving tools from Meta Platforms and Google. This consideration interprets a 1960s eavesdropping prohibition, originally intended for phone and telegraph communications, as applicable to modern internet tracking. The court is deliberating on whether to allow two proposed class actions to proceed, which accuse two hospitals of violating the Massachusetts Wiretap Act by using third-party technologies that share users' activities with companies like Google and Meta. The possibility of making any ruling prospective was suggested by justices, to avoid penalizing past tracking activities not previously identified as illegal under the law.The case arises from complaints by Kathleen Vita, who alleges that her visits to the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and New England Baptist Hospital websites resulted in the unauthorized sharing of her browsing data. A trial court judge previously determined that the wiretap law does cover such internet tracking, a decision challenged by the hospitals' legal representation as an "absurd" extension of the decades-old statute. However, the Supreme Court's prior extension of the law's coverage to cell phones and text messages in 2013 supports the argument for its applicability to internet data collection.The lawsuit has drawn attention from industry groups like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and National Retail Federation, concerned about the implications for countless website operators using common analytics tools. Despite similar cases being dismissed in other states, the Massachusetts case, bolstered by a prior $18.4 million settlement in a similar lawsuit, could set a precedent. The defense argues that the use of such data-gathering technologies falls under a business exemption, a claim met with skepticism from the court regarding its relevance to hospital operations. The court's final decision may include prospective measures to allow website operators to adjust practices accordingly, highlighting the case's potential surprise and impact on the broader web development and ownership community.Massachusetts top court considers allowing website tracking class actions | ReutersThe estate of the late comedian George Carlin settled a lawsuit against podcasters Will Sasso and Chad Kultgen, who used AI to create a faux Carlin comedy special and release it on YouTube. As part of the agreement, the podcasters from "Dudesy" will remove the AI-generated content and are barred from using Carlin's image, voice, or likeness without permission. This legal battle highlights the challenges at the intersection of AI technology, copyright law, and post-mortem publicity rights, marking one of the first cases to address these issues head-on. The lawsuit, filed by Carlin's estate in the US District Court for the Central District of California, underscores the growing concerns over the misuse of AI to replicate individuals' likenesses. Kelly Carlin, George Carlin's daughter, expressed hope that this case would serve as a cautionary tale about the potential dangers of AI and the importance of establishing protective measures. The settlement, though largely confidential, is seen as a necessary step in addressing the legal implications of advancing AI technologies in the realm of intellectual property and personal rights.George Carlin Estate Settles AI-Made Comedy Special Lawsuit (1) Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

There's a brand-new, George Carlin comedy special, which is mystifying and disturbing since he died in 2008! Legendary comedian George Carlin was unceremoniously resurrected from the grave by a comedy podcast claiming to have created an AI-generated Carlin, based upon decades worth of his existing material. The special they created - “I'm Glad I'm Dead”- had the AI created legend commenting on current issues such as mass shootings, America's class system, streaming services, social media…even Taylor Swift's sex life…Really, no Really! But the computer-generated version lacks Carlin's brilliance and has created a brouhaha that leads us to an unsettled legal question…whether training A.I. language learning models on publicly available written, visual and audio content infringes on the copyrights of artists and authors. Is it ethical or legal for someone to create a new George Carlin, without his or his estate's permission? Jason and Peter needed to find out, so they went to the source, Carlin's daughter, Kelly Carlin to discuss the controversy, her lawsuit, her dad's legacy, and what she feels her father would have to say about the current controversy? Kelly Carlin is a storyteller, writer, performer, photographer, a practitioner of Zen Buddhism and the daughter of the legendary comedian George Carlin who died in 2008. Since then, Kelly has upheld his legacy by spreading his life's work through many media, protecting his work and image in the public sphere, and stepping into the limelight in her own right. IN THIS EPISODE: What's the purpose of ANY AI-written or performed standup? Was this truly AI-written and performed - does it matter? Future protections for performers and their likenesses. The true story behind George Carlin and his 7 dirty words. Which would you trust more: An experienced doctor or an AI diagnostician? When the AI Carlin feeds the future AI, what happens then?  An AI with empathy, does it exist? The upside to AI hacking comedians, is there one?

Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast, we present another encore episode, this time with Kelly Carlin, daughter of iconic stand-up comedian George Carlin. We spoke with Kelly, who we met at the National Comedy Center in 2018 and who was essentially the impetus for the podcast about a variety of subjects. Some of the great things we chat about with Kelly are her memoir, A Carlin Home Companion : Growing Up with George, her career as a monologuist and therapist, her iconic dad's humor, his early comedy partner Jack Burns and much more. This is both a funny and deep conversation with Kelly as we delve into Ram Dass, Jungian therapy and her Women on the Verge program as well as what made her dad laugh, how his humor influenced her own humor and his ‘time on the road' being at home without dad. It's a spiritual and deep episode with a few well timed laughs as well. We hope you like listening to this one as we did making it. This is the Rarified Heir Podcast and this is one great episode if we do say so ourselves.

George Carlin has been gone for 14 years already.  Depending on who you are, your reaction will range from "has it been that long already?" to "who's George Carlin?".  14 years is long enough for someone to have been born and grown into a teenager, after all.  Of course, some would argue that allowing your child to grow up without hearing about George Carlin qualifies as a form of child abuse.  Good news for all the new parents out there: it's never been easier to teach the next generation about the life of Carlin.  George Carlin's American Dream is on HBO Max, thanks to his daughter Kelly, and will take you through his mythos.

When something huge happens in the world, my mind goes to what George Carlin would think. He was not only THE comedian with his pulse on everything, but he seemed to be able to predict the future. 'Prescient' is a word I often use to describe him, as I did last week when a Carlin bit on abortion rights went viral after the leak of the Supreme Court draft opinion that appears will overturn Roe v Wade... So, in a sense, we do have him weighing in on current events. But not really. The world lost George Carlin in 2008. Although there are many talented comedians riffing on our lives and tribulations, there's still a giant hole where George Carlin should be. A few years back, I was fortunate to meet Kelly Carlin. She wrote a memoir, "A Carlin Home Companion" about growing up as the only child of the comic legend of our times. She then wrote and performed a one-woman show based on the book, which I was also fortunate to see. And she came on my show to talk about it, and has returned numerous times since then. Not to talk about her amazing father, but to talk about the important work she's doing herself. Well today she's back to talk about George! A new 2-part documentary premieres on HBO and HBO Max this Friday and Saturday. It's directed by Judd Apatow, but Kelly is one of the executive producers. So I get to pepper her with questions about her dad without feeling guilty about it... We'll begin with a feeling of relief and comfort, as the first big primary day of the 2022 midterms was mostly encouraging! Big wins for progressives, as John Fetterman handily won the Democratic nomination for senate from PA, and Summer Lee appears to be on track to win her race to run for the House seat form District 12, defeating a corporate, deep pocketed attorney Steve Irwin and the almost 4 million dollars spent on his behalf against her by PACs aligned with AIPAC. There's even better news out of Oregon where the progressive running to unseat the man often called the "Joe Manchin of the House" -- Kurt Schraeder- did it! Jamie Mcleod-Skinner is enjoying an almost 2-1 lead over the soon to be former DINO congressman from OR-5. So, George (and Kelly) Carlin and some good electoral news for progressives. That's a Wednesday I can believe in!
