Hello, fellow law nerds. Welcome to another episode of Boom Lawyred, a Rewire Newsgroup podcast hosted by the legal journalism team that hopes you survive the holidays and MLK Day and the ongoing fuckery that besieges this nation.

I'm ReWired News Group's co-chief content officer, Imani Gandy.

And I'm Jess Peeklo, Rewire Newsgroup's other co-chief content officer.

Rewire Newsgroup is the one and only home for expert repro journalism that inspires you to send

some love to Minneapolis, and the BoomLaird podcast is part of that mission.

So a big thanks to our subscribers and welcome to our new listeners and viewers.

We're excited for this new...

Okay, excited might be overstating it.

We're here.

We're going to say, wow Okay, excited might be overstating it. We're here for this new year.

Wow. Hold on. Are we really?

We are here. We are here for this new year, but we are glad to be back with you.

And we're going to start this episode off with our first segment.

What the fuck is going on?

Jess, what do you have that is going on? Well, Amani, it's a new year, new horrors,

and I have to talk about horrors. I said horrors, not horrors. Same old horrors as follows

as far as the same horrors, new horrors. Oh, wow. Boomloyer, fam, we are coming in hot in 2020.

All right. Off the rails. We haven't even gotten out of the intro. But I don't think many of you'd be surprised that I'm going to talk about Minneapolis.

Longtime boomloired listeners know that Minneapolis, St. Paul is a home.

Most of my family is there.

My babies were born there.

I taught law school there like 40 lifetimes ago.
