Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.

Um, you know, BJ, you and I go way back. you're a previous guest on the podcast and and we've we've spoken a little bit about some of the topics we're going to get to today, but when when I reached out to you a few months ago to talk about this idea, um, you immediately suggested bringing Bridget along. So, um, let me just share with folks what I wanted to talk about and I would love for you to share why you felt that this would be a great three-person discussion as opposed to a twoperson. So I reached out to you and I said, "Look, um, BJ, I want to I want to understand more about living and I have a an idea that we could learn a lot from people who are dying." Um, and people who listen to this podcast know that I think that quality of life matters as much and potentially more than length of life.
