Guys With Mics

Buckle up, it’s a long one this week! John spoke with Brighton attorney Chris Berry about Medicare planning. Then Scott and John discuss what they heard and learned!

Sports and politics mix again. To play or not to play was the question last week. Also, a strange news story about a likely non-event perplexes John – why is it considered news?

Music week marks the return of the king! No, not the Lord of the Rings king, we’re talking Elvis Presley. This time our favorite Elvis albums. Before we do that, we recognize a Florida attorney with a bad case of the munchies.

A look back at the history of Internet browsers…how did we get here? Before that, a naked man and his laptop have a bad day, we ponder life in Germany and talk about a gold beater. Yes, that is a real thing!

In the law we talk about potential liability for the big bang in Beirut; the Jetsons’ hit the highway and will COVID change the bar exam?

Professional sports have re-started in America. Will baseball finish its season? Many colleges are going with conference-only schedules. We discuss. And, how some Florida schools are tackling the re-opening question.

Music is now part of the sporting culture in the US. We discuss three well-known songs you might hear at an event, assuming you can go to a game! Or want to go! And a bit of how music at a game has changed.

In technology we talk about the good and bad of texting and have a little Raspberry Pi to boot! Plus, what time does the sun set where we live?

Law week features another Florida man story, a quick follow-up to sports week and a look at an interesting new US Supreme Court decision.

Back to sports; will there be baseball? With a 60-game season will anyone care? What about other sports? Will they start? A lot depends on COVID.

This week we hit what you could call the American Trifecta. We talk about Memorial Day, D-Day and the 4th of July. All in one episode! Start your holiday week early with us!

Tech week finds us looking at something old trying to be new again. But we begin with a music follow up about a World War 2 staple of the BBC and a look at how using technology can get you into a lot of trouble!

We mix up our weeks and talk about music instead of technology this week! On the agenda…six protest songs!

We discuss the murder of George Floyd and the resulting riots, property destruction and what can be done? One answer we offer: get rid of qualified immunity. Also, the Michigan Legislature v. Governor case.

After yet another Florida man story, we talk baseball and hockey. The NHL has announced its intent to hold its playoffs. But baseball players and owners are having trouble dividing up the billion or so dollars at stake.

Once again, it’s music week. This time we step into our version of a way back machine to discuss a few classics! Listen, learn and, hopefully, find a new appreciation for music that’s been around for quite some time! Links to the music online: Mozart Symphony 41 Mozart - Clarinet Quintet in A major, K 581 Beethoven's 5th Liszt - Liebestraum No. 3 (Love Dream)

Our take on the Court of Claims decision in the Legislature/Governor lawsuit about the governor’s emergency powers.

A new toy is about to hit the market (spoiler alert: we’re both interested!); then we talk about courts using the Zoom app and discuss the legal argument in the case of Michigan legislature and the Michigan governor.

We recorded on VE day so that starts the discussion, then a quick look at the newly released NFL schedule. And, finally, the Michigan legislature has sued the Michigan governor. We discuss.

The NFL Draft actually happened – virtually but it did happen. Plus, where do things stand? Will sports resume this year? Seems like baseball needs to start soon doesn’t it? How much overlap does baseball want with football?
