Boozy's Legal Funhouse
Boozy, a Philadelphia area attorney and comedian, sits down every two weeks with his performing partner and certified Legal Layman, Alkali, for a discussion of legal news and an explanation of how legal principles are truly messed up. Every other week the pair look at an actual legal case, current or historical, in a lighthearted and profane manner as Boozy tries to get Alkali to understand the law really can be made up as one goes along.
