This easily breaks the record for longest show title. But seriously, we're fed up with this bogus Supreme Court coverage. In our main segment, Andrew has the full breakdown of Brnovich and just how terrible it is for voting rights, AND how much Alito and the conservatives are legislating from the bench. They are simply overwr...

#T3BE 232 - Early Answer for Patrons

Thomas nailed this one in every respect -- right answer (C), for the right reasons, and the correct characterization of all the answers.  He's now 121-for-232 (52.2%).  And yet, due to a cruel trick of mathematics, so did the coin, which jumps out to a commanding lead in the contest as it is 2021-06-21 23:00:00 +0000 UTC View Post

#T3BE 231 - Early Answer for Patrons

Thomas's Second Chance Law Firm got this right, picking between (B) and (D), but sadly, he lost ground to the coin on this one -- Thomas picked (D), and the correct answer chosen by the coin was (B).

#T3BE 230 - Early Answer for Patrons

Thomas is now 120-for-230 (52.2%) and the coin -- exempted from this one -- remains 2-for-5 (40%).

OA497: Christian Health Sharing Is a Scam

Andrew stumbled across a Marketwatch article that recommended a Christian Health Sharing company to save money on health insurance. Due to this being a complete scam, Andrew was sent on a Liam Neeson-esque crusade. Let's just say he has a certain set of skills involving documents and research and deep-diving... Listen and fin...
