Brett & Brad

The 16th Amendment, Neanderthal Root Canals, Fatherhood

Brad and Eric (not Brett?!) discuss the 16th Amendment, why it exists, and some of the common misinterpretations of what it means. We briefly touch on the Supreme Court's Mifepristone access ruling, voiding a stay by the 5th Circuit Federal Court. After the break, we discuss a new article detailing dental surgery performed by Neanderthals ~59,000 years ago. Finally, Eric shares his perspective on being a new(ish) father, and we collectively groan over the Cavs while praising the Guardians (and Monsters). ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
