Join Charles and Derk as they discuss areas of law that are strange, shocking, and counter intuitive. Thinking about cutting down your neighbors tree that's growing over your fence? Dropping your kids off at school? Thinking about suing the owner of the shop who sold you a faulty appliance? Listen to this episode to learn a little about these areas of law and then go talk to a lawyer in your area. Seriously, we're just two dudes shouting on the internet.

Listen in as Derk picks Charles’ brain about the 10% myth, a man who’s been working on the railroad and ethical dilemmas about uncontrollable rage. This rage wasn’t even caused by bad puns.

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode includes mention of traumatic head injuries, mass shooting, and how sexual assault is handled by the U.S. justice system.
