Plus the U.S. Supreme Court debates fake dog poo. And, at the risk of contradicting Color Me Bad, "Uh, TikTok you do stop."

0:15.0	It's Monday, March 27th, 2023 from Peach Fish Productions. It's The Gest I MikePesca.
0:21.0	And how you doing? Did you survive the weekend? How do I mean? Did you survive like the Gaff Texas to make the final four survive?
0:28.0	I mean, the asteroid, the city-destroying asteroid I talked about on Friday. It waged by us a hundred thousand miles away from Earth.
0:37.0	I kind of feel bad about that. I alerted you to the dangers of this city-destroying asteroid. Those dangers being we were told that it was dangerous, even though it was eight times further away from any city that any other city can be, you know, the furthest away, two spots on Earth can be. It's roughly 12,500 miles.
0:55.0	But I do feel bad that I put that on your radar instead of this.
1:01.0	Mr. Chief Justice, I may please the court. This case involves a dog toy that copies Jack Daniel's trademark and trade dress and associates its whiskey with dog poop.
1:10.0	What was I thinking? Last week, the Supreme Court heard a case about dog urine. And I totally whiffed on tracking down the scent and digging it up for you, my beloved listeners.
1:21.0	So a brand parodying Jack Daniels came out with a toy called Bad Spannules. It's shaped like a bottle of Jack Daniels and has similar markings. But, and this is quite crucial, it is not filled with 80 proof bourbon, it is a dog chew toy.

1:50.0	Justice Alito tried to hash out this difficult point with lawyer Lisa Blatt.
1:55.0	No, no, you're not selling urine. It's exactly this toy.
1:59.0	Oh, sorry, I thought it was...
2:00.0	No, it's exactly this toy. I'm sorry.
2:02.0	Which purportedly contains some sort of dog excrement.
2:07.0	Oh, I'm sorry.
2:08.0	My bad.
2:09.0	No, my bad. Bad, just toast. Bad.
2:12.0	When Supreme Court justices make several references to dog poop and excrement, you should know that you could turn to me for coverage.
2:21.0	And I failed you.
2:23.0	Ensoorseled as I was by a heavenly object that offered no possibility of destroying cities, let alone beloved throw rugs.
