Special: US Supreme Court F@#ks Renters; Thought Slime Continues to be Right About Landlords
29/08/2021 Duration: 37minThe Supreme Court blocked the Biden administration's Covid-related eviction moratorium on Thursday, 8/26/21 (apologies for the references in the video to “today’s” Supreme Court decision - it took me longer to finish this than I hoped). Also, Thought Slime is non-binary, which I forgot at the time of recording, and I reflexively used he/him pronouns. I believe I once heard Thought Slime say they don’t mind he/him pronouns, so hopefully not too much offense is taken. I do apologize anyway. BTW: Regarding the status of the third Chauvin Chunk, I am going to delay that until the case enters a more active phase since there seems to be very little interest in that content at the moment.

Derek Chauvin Prison Sentence (Chauvin Chunks #1)
23/06/2021 Duration: 50minJune 25 is the scheduled sentencing hearing for Derek Chauvin, the police officer who was convicted in a Minnesota court of the murder of George Floyd. The prosecution is seeking a 30 year sentence, and the defense is seeking probation. In this video, a real lawyer explains why the overwhelming likelihood is that Chauvin will be sentenced to serve between 15 and 20 years in prison. This is the first of Habeas Humor's "Chauvin Chunks" miniseries. Please note: federal charges are also pending against Derek Chauvin for both the George Floyd killing and a prior incident of alleged police brutality. If convicted in federal court, Chauvin could face life in prison or even the death penalty.

21/02/2021 Duration: 01h08min(Part 2 of 2) Thanks for coming back! Previously we talked about immigration issues and the portrayal of immigrants on train wreck TV shows like 90 Day Fiancé.

HH60: Lock Him Up!
27/01/2021 Duration: 01h22sThis episode is all about the criminal prosecutions that are hopefully on the horizon for Trump... and maybe even for Rudy Giuliani as well! We dive into the ongoing criminal investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice, New York Attorney General, and Manhattan District Attorney. Also - the best moments from Donald Trump's phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. Listen to Trump cite every reason under the sun (from "evidence" provided by the likes of Q Anon and 4 Chan) to make his case for why he thinks he won the election in Georgia (has anyone seen Ruby Freeman? Where's Ruby???)

07/01/2021 Duration: 47minOhio has enacted a new law requiring the tissue from all medical abortions to be buried or cremated in a “dignified” and “humane” fashion. This is the latest in a wave of abortion punishment provisions (A.P.P.’s) making it into the law books in the USA. We’re not down with A.P.P. We’re not down with it at all.

To become a patron, go to patreon.com/habehumor. This episode comes out on Juneteenth, so we gotta talk about that. It just became an official legal holiday in Pennsylvania, BTW.

HH52: Podcasting While English
16/10/2018 Duration: 36minIt was the best of times. It was the worst of times. I visited Great Britain. I did my second QED Con and toured Manchester from the Cat Cafe to the Cat Hedral. All that was fantastic... and then I tried to get this damned bloody show done. Do you have any idea what it takes to record, edit, and upload a podcast using an ipad and English/airplane internet? Hoooooly Fuuuuuuuck!!! Here it is, finally. I would like to give you a full description, but I've been up for two days finishing this damn thing; I'm in the air right now approximately over Iceland; and I'm afraid I just don't goddamned remember right now. I know I covered Bill Donohue and his Catholic League scam - I mean "charity"; gun nut Kaitlin Bennett and her perpetual liberty fails; and some sort of Kavanaugh issue. See you in two weeks!

HH51: The ASSes in DisASSter ASSistance
28/09/2018 Duration: 01h40minThis is an episode YOU should listen to even if you hate my jokes! This is all about federal disaster assistance programs and what you should know if you ever are unfortunate enough to suffer damage to your home and/or personal property due to a natural or manmade disaster. Learn about FEMA aid and SBA loans (yes, even if you don't own a business!) Plus, we have useful insurance tips for all homeowners. After that is a great discussion with Amanda of the podcasts Amanda's Picture Show A-Go-Go and Culture Pop A-Go-Go. Topics include the documentary "RBG," Saudi Arabian sexist filmmaking, and more! One more note: I had to make some tough editing choices in order to get the length of this episode to a reasonable point. Included in the patron version of this episode, but unfortunately not here, is the discussion of attorney Lee Nation. He was the primary appellate counsel in the Missouri murder jury case (where women were being systematically excluded in Jackson County). Ruth Bader Ginsburg was second chai
