This week Jackie and Danielle aretalking about 2004 comedy EuroTrip with their (favorite) cousin Marc. After a brutal breakup at a high-school graduation party, lovelorn Ohio teen Scott Thomas (Scott Mechlowicz) goes on a quest across Europe to find his sexy German pen pal, Mieke (Jessica Boehrs). Joining him are his brainless buddy (Jacob Pitts) and a pair of twins (Travis Wester, Michelle Trachtenberg) they meet up with in Paris.

KJ, Meredith, Beth (Raising Perdition), and Out (Divergent Canon) discuss the Ghostfacers' Effect, swearing in Supernatural, and the effects of time on this iconic episode of retro-TV-series-Supernatural.CW Episode Description: Sam and Dean take a break from their usual gig to star in a gritty reality show called "Ghostfacers" which chronicles the pursuit of the paranormal. Ed Zeddmore (guest star A. J. Buckley) and Harry Spengler (guest star Travis Wester) have created a radically different and sometimes violent show full of profanity that takes them to the Morton Mansion, an abandoned estate which becomes one of the most haunted places in America one night every four years. However, as their team begins to get picked off in grisly manners not fit for television, they realize they are in over their heads.Tumblr post on The Ghostfacers' Effect: https://www.tumblr.com/idiot-on-the-hill/659987336647655424/what-is-the-ghostfacers-effectLinktree including sign up sheet to be on the podcast and our Discord server: https://linktr.ee/SupernaturalOpinionsPodcastFor more KJ Spn-verse content check out KJ's other podcast Wayward Parents!Guest social medias:Meredith (tiktok, instagram and Tumblr): shaedsofdeianeiraBeth: bethlovescas on all platformsRaising Perdition Podcast: https://linktr.ee/raisingperditionOut: @OutHereNowfic on twitterCanon Divergent Podcast: @divergentcanon on twitter

Back at Sottys house, he replies to an email sent to him from "Mike" his German pen pal. Cooper warns him that he could end up being sex trafficked when "Mike" asks to meet up. Scotty attends a graduation party that evening with Cooper, where the band, fronted by Matt Damon, performs a song detailing his affair Fiona called Scotty Doesn't Know. Cooper finds himself in a hot tub with a girl and convinces her to take her top off, before getting caught by some jocks and thrown out. Scotty returns home drunk and angry and reads an email from his German pen pal, expressing sympathy for Scotty and suggesting they meet in person. Remembering Coopers suggestion that "Mike" may be a sexual predator, Scotty tells Mike to stay away from him. The next morning, a very hungover Scotty sees his younger brother, Bert, reading his email and informs him that "Mieke" is actually a common German feminine name. Realizing that he had mistaken her name and that he has feelings for Mieke, Scotty tries to contact her again, but finds that Mieke has blocked his email address. Scotty decides to travel to Europe with Cooper to find Mieke and apologize in-person. -This whole movie could've been resolved if he just made another email address-Finoa is pretty hot-I LOVE Cooeprs line of "this isn't where I parked my car"... I used to use that one occasionally.-Its funny that with all the practice with writing German, he mistook Mieke for a guy, considering she probably used feminine pronouns.-Did you have a passport when you were 18? Could you have just up and gone to Europe? Scotty and Cooper go tot he airport and find flights via being couriers. They first arrive in London, where they en dup in a Manchester United hooligan pub; they eventually befriend their leader, Mad Maynard. After a night of drinking, Scotty and Cooper wake up on a bus on their way to Paris with the hooligans. In Paris, they meet up with their classmates, Jenny and Jamie, fraternal twins who are touring Europe together. While in Paris, they decide to visit the Louvre, but are met with a VERY long line. While waiting, Cooper gets creeped out by a street performing robot. Scotty begins imitating him, and this leads to a robot fight; ending with Scotty kicking the robot guy in the balls. That evening Jenny and Jamie decide to accompany Scotty and Cooper to find Mieke in Berlin. The group travels to Amsterdam, where Jamie is robbed while receiving oral sex in an alley, losing everyone's money, passports, and train tickets. Cooper, in his continuing attempt at crazy European sex, visits Club Vandersexxx; which turns out to be a dominatrix club fun by Lucy Lawless. Cooper is then sexually assaulted with a tripple dildo machine. Meanwhile, Jenny and Scotty think they are trying hash brownies; but it turns out there is no weed in them and they are not high. With their money and passports gone, they attempt to hitchhike to Berlin, but due to a language misunderstanding, they end up in Bratislava. Finding a great exchange rate with the U.S. dollar, the group goes to a nightclub. Drunk on absinthe, Jenny and Jamie make out with each other, witnessed by Scotty and Cooper, and are horrified when they realize what they are doing. The next day, a Slovak man drives them to Berlin, where they learn from Miekes dad that Mieke has left with a summer tour group, and will be reachable in Rome for only a short time. While Scotty is talking to Miekes dad, Cooper watches Miekes young step-brother color a tiny mustache on himself and goose step around his apartment; much to Coopers surprise. As they debate what to do outside the apartment, Jamie sells his Leica Camera for plane tickets to Rome to find Mieke. -Apparently the courier thing was a real thing, but has declined over the past 10-15 years, as couriers built their own fleets.-The robot fight is hilarious, but obviously not realistic at all.-Michelle Trachtenberg is hot. Killer body. I miss the shirts like she wears in the Bratislava, which I didn't know was a real country until recently. It doesn't look like the movies, though, very nice and pedestrian.-A used Leica M6 on Ebay was going for $2,772.-I love the whole Bratislava section; the green fairy and everything. I find it hilarious. In Rome, the group heads to Vatican City, where Mieke is touring before her summer at sea. Inside the Vatican, Scotty and Cooper search for Mieke and accidentally rings the bell that signals the Pope has died. They unknowingly enter the popes apartment, and after some fooling around, and accidentally dressing up as the pope, and accidentally setting a papal hat on fire, indicating a new pope has been elected, Scotty appears on the papal balcony, and everyone assumes he's the new pope. He spots Mieke in the cheering crowd below; all this happens while the current pope is watching on his tv. The Swiss guards realizes what is going on and detain Scotty and Cooper for their actions. However, the Manchester United football hooligans from London suddenly appears at the Vatican and telling the guards to release Scotty and Cooper. Scotty finally introduces himself to Mieke and confesses his love. Mieke is happy to see him, and they have sex in a confessional booth before she leaves on her trip. On the flight back to Ohio, Jenny and Cooper give into their urges and have sex in the plane's lavatory, while Jamie stays in Europe after being hired by Arthur Frommer. -No way they would've been able to just get into the Vatican without some sort of tour group paper work. Even if he did know everything.-There is no way access to the Popes apartment is just in a random door that is accessible by anyone. Also weird they would have the bell that indicates the pope has died right by his door.-In the original ending, Mieke turns Scotty down... Making a more rational decision that they don't know each other well enough.  Scotty moves to Oberlin College in the fall term for his studies. During his phone conversation with Cooper, who is now dating Jenny, Cooper asks what Scotty's new roommate looks like. Mieke knocks on the door of his room, having been assigned to the same room because of another misunderstanding about her name. Scotty and Mieke embrace and get into bed together, with Cooper calling for Scott on the other end of a still-open cell phone call and the film closing with the Absinthe Green Fairy wondering at his own lack of a sex life. -You'd think in one of the forms Mieke would've had to fill out to attend college, and get assigned a dorm room, she would have checked the "female" box, but I guess they missed that part. If anything, I feel bad she's probably in an all male dorm. Also, at 18... I mean, I seriously doubt they'll end up together forever.  Top Five Trivia of the movie: Top 5 TriviaThey had a lot of trouble casting Scotty. “It had gotten to the point, literally, where we were going to restaurants, staring at our waiters,” said Mandel of the search for Scotty. Luckily, Mechlowicz, a UCLA student at the time, “rode in on a white horse” to save them from further stress over casting the all-important part. Meanwhile, Trachtenberg credited her physical comedy in her audition — which was the airplane scene where Jenny climbs over Cooper on her way to the bathroom — to her getting the job offer from the producers. “And I blew them,” deadpanned Trachtenberg, who got several laughs from the crowd for her natural EuroTrip-style humor. Above all, though, producers said it was important to them at the time to cast real teenagers in the roles. “We didn't want 35-year-olds playing high school kids,” said Schaffer.Despite all the political incorrectness in the film, there was one scene that was just too much for the studio, referred to by producers as “The Anne Frank sex scene.” In the scene — never filmed but available in script form on the original DVD, they claim — Cooper finds a flyer for a sex club called “The Secret Room” and accidentally misidentifies the house of Anne Frank as the club. (“He asks somebody, ‘Is this The Secret Room' and they go, ‘Yes, it will change your life,'” Berg recalled.) Encountering a big line outside, Cooper assumes he has found the correct place, but instead of waiting, he goes through a backdoor. Once he discovers a small room with a small bed, he decides to get naked and wait for a sex worker — but soon after finds himself exposed in front of a tour group. (To make matters worse, Anne Frank's only living relative was a part of the tour group.) And as if that wasn't enough to horrify the studio, the scene also had Cooper reaching for a small mannequin — one guess as to whom it was modeled after — and covering his private parts with it, resulting in an unintended sexually explicit visual for the tour group. The producers wrote the Club Vandersexxx scene to replace this scene once it was nixed.The original title was Ugly Americans. But the studio didn't want the movie with “ugly” in the title or a “sarcastic or ironic” title, said Schaffer. “We had a knock-down, drag-out fight with them,” said Schaffer, “which is like having a fight with your parents when you're four because they can call it whenever they want.” And they did.The nude beach scene originally had much less nudity in it. But once they started filming, they realized it took away from the comedy to have all the extras holding surf boards and other objects — Austin Powers-style — to cover their private parts. “We thought, ‘Wouldn't it be funnier if it was just wall-to-wall penises?'” said Mandel. The extras likely didn't mind the change; according to Trachtenberg, there was a lack of shyness between takes, making for an awkward craft services environment.Matt Damon's cameo — as the band leader/guy who steals Scotty's girlfriend, played by Kristin Kreuk — came together because the producers knew him from their days at Harvard…and he was in Prague. In fact, many parts, including Jeffrey Tambor's, were filled because the actors were already shooting in Prague, where EuroTrip was filmed. “No one wanted to fly over and we didn't have the money to have anyone fly over,” recalled Schaffer. “So we basically looked around and said, ‘Who's filming in Prague?'” Luckily, Damon was in town shooting The Brothers Grimm. Not so lucky, however, was that the only night he was available was the shortest night of the summer, so “we literally had from 10:45 at night…and the sun would come up at 3:45,” remembered Schaffer. “So we shot it in, like, 4.5 hours.”And a little fun tidbit from me Marcus the Song Scotty doesn't know Matt Damon sing on Spotify it has 124 762 320M Downloads.

During the main segment, Andrew breaks down the law of hate speech and also explains the charges filed against the individual who drove his car into the protestors. After that, Andrew answers another listener question, this one regarding Texas A&M's decision to cancel a "White Lives Matter" rally in light of the tragedy in Charlottesville. Finally, we end with an all-new Thomas Takes the Bar Exam Question #37 about the failure to timely pay on an installment contract.  Remember that you can play along with #TTTBE by retweeting our episode Tweet along with your guess.  We'll release the answer on next Tuesday's episode along with our favorite entry!

This is a link to the Vox timeline of the events in Charlottesville. Here is Washington Post reporter Joe Heim's Twitter feed, showing a picture of the heavily armed "citizens" attending the rally. This is the preliminary injunction ruling on the motion filed by Jason Kessler, organizer of the "Unite the Right" rally. The key case setting forth the principles of time, place & manner restrictions is Ward v. Rock Against Racism 491 U.S. 781 (1989). The "fire in a crowded theater" case is Schenck v. U.S., 249 U.S. 47 (1919) -- give it a read and you'll understand (and appreciate!) why it is no longer good law. The modern rule on hate speech stems from Brandenberg v. Ohio, 395 U.S. 444 (1969). This is the DOJ's list of hate crimes laws. Virginia's second-degree murder statute is Code of VA § 18.2-32.

The 5th Circuit case to which Travis kept referring is Sonnier v. Crain, 613 F.3d 436 (5th Cir. 2010), the opinion of which was subsequently withdrawn in part by Sonnier v. Crain, 634 F.3d 778 (5th Cir. 2011). Finally, the Supreme Court case cited by Travis within the Sonnier opinion is Forsyth County v. Nationalist Movement, 505 U.S. 123 (1992), in which the Supreme Court held that content-based restrictions, including excessive security fees, violate the 1st Amendment.
