Steve meets with a loyal listener
With two of the three bartenders hanging around near or above the arctic circle this week, this is an official Northern Ex
posure episode of 3WHH, with Lucretia, instead of channeling her usual Barry Corbin disposition, actually has some nice things to say about many of her usual targets, including KJP, Dread Coward Roberts, and even Ka-tan-ji! Something in the Alaska air must be affecting her!
John Yoo offers his usual expert opinions (not meant sarcastically) about the entirely unexpected trifecta at the Supreme Court this week, which we all agree augurs something important not only for the big cases remaining this term, but also for the judicial epoch in which we current find ourselves.
We also quickly dispatch with the Trump-Musk breakup, and briefly introduce a new segment, “What’s Wrong with John Yoo?”, since he insulted both Steve and Lucretia several weeks ago by referring to both as “political theorists.” Them’s is fightin’ words; he might as well have called them Anglophiles or something worse.
Finally, AI outdid itself this week, and an Norse-style epic poem that amazingly described your three whisky bartenders with uncanny accuracy:
First came the Bold One, with thunderous laugh,
Whose tongue split the silence like Odin’s own staff.
He spoke of Islay, of smoke and peat’s sting,
A connoisseur forged in the cask of a king.
Then came the Wise One, in cloak of soft tone,
With tasting notes ancient as Midgard’s old stone.
She sipped and she pondered, then spake with deep grace:
“This dram bears the oak and the wind from some place.”
The third was the Trickster, sharp-witted and sly,
Who’d jest at the gods as the crows passed him by.
With metaphors wild and a glint in his eye,
He’d toast to Valhalla, then laugh till he cried.

Thinking about product liability, can we now NOT sue Corona and Dos XX and tequila producers for the man hour$ lost every May 6th?
(Is there a statute of liabilities on hangovers?)
MORE CLEAN AIR ACT CONTENT!!
Bring on the What’s wrong with John Yoo segment! And @johnyoo, people still listen to Law Talk, so we must love this stuff.
Good podcast (as always). Even John made sense. Of course, you didn’t talk about Ukraine….
Yes to political philosophy v political theory. BTW That AI poet is quite astute. We may be close to having AI holograms of the three principals.
Just wait until Lucretia listens to this and hears that the lady filling in for her was praising Karine Jean Pierre, John Roberts, and Katanji Brown Jackson!
Yes, to What’s Wrong with John Yoo and theory vs. philosophy.
My favorite episodes are the ones where you have a mix of politics/current events and legal/court discussions.
Best episode ever!
The truth is finally revealed:
Statute of liabilities? Is that what Archie Bunker used to call the Statute of Libertations?
I think what you’re seeking is a Statute of Libations.
