Wow the Ghislaine trial music was quite the throwback

Traplord

SBF is just a young boy! Leave him alone

Rbfen

“Sam Jailman Trial” is a beautiful name for a beautiful boy

primary brace talks just like when hillary runs for president

yerrak

Worst take on the show: hyper pop is bad 🤣🤣

Blank

Liz upset by “primary”/out here shilling for non-hierarchical poly

Michael S. Judge

it's so so funny how long Jacob is silent during the polycule taxonomy

I think the guest may not understand cross examination—the canonical technique is to ask closed questions in the form of a statement, to which the answer should just be “yes, yes, yes, yes.” You also usually repeat a certain amount of information for multiple reasons—to confirm facts and set up a line of questioning/commit the witness to their statement before impeachment/establish that your line of questioning is within the scope of the direct. So I’m not sure what issues Kaplan was having with his questioning, but closed questioning is absolutely fair game as is a certain amount of repetition

the first to rat are the first to walk. you only get as much leniency as valuable information you provide. so if you wait it out and eventually come around thinking you'll get a deal, it'll be too late.

Bobbi was recently on an episode of democracy now talking about the trump indictments and I had to call all my fellow TrueAnon Ghislane trial watch friends to process

Miz Mak

Liz, have you truly never watched the 2012-2013 Showtime reality series, “Polyamory: Married & Dating”? You’ve got to watch it!

helvetica.hottie

Lmao I love how Liz snuck in *well there's Chapo* 🤣🤣

NYCM&AHole

Hard disagree - lawyer here and lawyers making money rules, Jacob Silverman.

The Dee's Knees

It's always great whenever you bring Jacob on, I started reading Easy Money last week & I'm always looking forward to these episodes! and thanks for going in on the Lewis book ✨✨

Brian Ward

Maybe brace really is his own primary don't yuck his yum liz

Jack

On the Sam Jailman Jail trial trail

Always figured Liz was a Shakespeare maxi.

Adam Remesnik

I need a new voicemail greeting, when is Coindexter going to start doing Cameo?

Michelle

Liz and Brace at the end is like Fetlife math. I kept waiting for YC to chime in with a concise explanation. “What’s All this Then?” and Felix’s “Besties” need to go into production ASAP.

Shiv

maybe Sam Crimeman-Jailed to mix it up

I'm glad Jacob touched on the Michael Oher case because the contrast between how Lewis talks about Sam and how hes talked about Michel Oher, both now and in the past when "The Blind Side" came out, is absolutely maddening. Honestly hard not to read the guy as a huge racist. I don't really follow the NFL or college football but I've found the Oher case really interesting to read about, would love if you guys did an ep about it, or on the NFL/NCAA in general. Great ep, thanks guys! :)

Kaplan should be sent to the knackers yard to become glue for Ecuadorian postage stamps after what he did to Steven Donziger, and whatever little was left of the US justice system, at the direct behest of Chevron.

Robert Armstrong

Not a lawyer (yet — 2L), but the defense should be asking leading (“yes” or “no”) questions on cross-examination. However, if those leading questions aren’t forwarding the testimony of the witness, then the judge would have very good reason to get pissed.

Jess 🐞

*dyes hair blue* Did you know that in polyamory circles someone who considers themself to be their own Primary Partner is considered Solo-Poly

Trogdor the Burninator

Sam Jailman Jail is an extremely funny joke and I respect Liz' s dedication to it

Chris

The nice thing about polycules is you can get a nicer apartment. You know split it up. In this economy, it makes sense. It's smart. If you don't see that idk what to say

A.S.

Fuck this trial there’s bigger issues at hand

Romy Brenner

Do you guys wanna be in a polycule w me or what

Hardcore Virgin

Braces hangs out with a toddler instead of doing Palestine?

xannie mae

i didn't get added to canary mission for being a trueanon patron for.. this!!

Calder Marchman

discussing network tv dating shows with poly implications and not mentioning Tila Tequila’s A Shot at Love is bi erasure actually :/ please do better

We love CD (Coin Dexter)

I’m sure Kaplan still thinks that Cohen is “a good lawyer with a tough job.” But Kaplan can’t make any such acknowledgment in front of the jury because it’d be extremely prejudicial. Kaplan just knows what the government knows and what the defense knows: there is no viable defense. Sam’s statements post-FTX collapse are arguably sufficient to convict on their own. Kaplan is sympathetic, but he’s not going to stretch the rules of trial practice to let the defense out of the tiny corner Sam has backed them into. Their seeming grasping at straws is because there’s nothing they can get on cross examination that will be helpful. That’s why Sam will testify; it’s all they have left.

Marcus

I'm astonished that someone can be considered an expert in corporate ethics.

Dean Phillips

Does my brother not understand what cross examination is?

Joe Freeman

Liz:"I wanna push him off a bridge" Brace: "Interesting 🤔🤔" lmfaooooo

Claire Simon

🎶 You got to know when to hodl em, know when to fodl em 🎶

Anneliese

Got way too excited hearing Coindexter again

Pete Seeger

I get the Ghislaine song stuck in my head sometimes too. Anyone else notice that it sounds like the Supremes song “Keep me hangin’ on” mixed with an intro to a special report segment on a nightly news program?

Megan

Sister Wives is TLC i think!

Clean Shirt Piggie

What’s the relationship between Michael Lewis and SBF’s Stanford parents? All Bay Area people. I imagine ML got access to SBF because of a connection with the parents and is pushing his narrative as a favor to them. A Boomer/Zoomer alliance to own the millennial crypto haters is just a side “benefit.”

Clean Shirt Piggie

What if the chair/bed was stuffed with cash instead of beanbags?

Demented Avenger

"Going Infinite" sounds like a pamphlet from the Church of Scientology

Re: Brace saying it would be easy to do a good book interrogating EA...there's good book called Strangers Drowning by Larissa MacFarquhar that profiles a lot of EA people and is critical of it. It's from 2015 and I think kind of pre-dates EA being so big in the tech community? which makes the EA angle of this SBF stuff crazy to me because any journalist who would've had to look into EA while covering him should've found that EA people (1) are like, anxious 24 year olds who live in the cheapest apartments they can find and eat only rice so they can donate more and (2) very much reject politics in favor of philanthropy. So the Bahamas mansion and bankrolling Dems should've been big red flags. It's like two separate things, EA is simplistic and dumb and wrong, and also none of these tech people were ever serious about it and it should have been so obvious.

chloe reynolds

Brace’s hgtv idea DOES exist. Escape to The Chateau

Hope

Any thoughts on the Bergdahl series with Matt Farwell?

Maya B

The naddpod and trueanon venn diagram when they said 'one big bed'

The subreddit is down, here to panic.

Citizen_Drab

Y’all missed ‘Sam Jailman-Tried’ pun?? Slipping.

Julian Gricksch

Hyperpop > thin lizzy. How many gecs does thin lizzy have? Probably not even 50

Go'Thrak

It's Sam Jailman Jail because he is no longer a bankman and he's no longer free. It's an amazing name.

ChelseOrElse

I do NOT listen to other podcasts, I’m not some non-monogamous freak

Bud D.

"Sam Bankrun-Fraud" was right there

Emma

The renovating cheap castles show exists in the UK because British people love buying cheap disaster châteaux in France

Andrew Dirks

On the castle thing, check out “Escape to the Châteaux” annoying British family renovates an old French castle to turn into a Bnb

Sam Fraudman Jailed

Great Value Male

Why is nobody else calling Brace a Polycular Biologist at this point

jessie

ok so brace and liz are not actually this clueless about polyamory are they? this is just a bit right? like most of the people they know are probs poly or poly-aware?

NYT: Crypto Influencers and ‘Degenerates’ Flock to Sam Bankman-Fried’s Trial "As the trial has unfolded, reporters have competed for seats with crypto influencers and online personalities — at least one of whom managed to smuggle a vape pen into the courthouse."
