37. Research Assistant-ships & Innuendos

Richard and Adam are joined by Jennah Khaled and Patrick McCaugherty second-year students at Osgoode Hall Law School. Jennah and Patrick discuss being an RA (that’s research assistant for those unaware). The newest voicemail is played on air! A law student waxes poetic about the podcast, especially Adam. Richard thinks it’s a set-up.

 

The Good Wife gets another nod from Jennah while Patrick gives Suits another vote, so those two are running neck-and-neck in our most popular law show category. Suits vs. Good Wife is now an official poll. Adam doesn’t get that a dramatic show doesn’t need to be funny.

 

Pants were returned to the mall after an exam, although it isn’t clear why or what that has to do with being an RA. Adam, despite being hungover, engages in excellent cross-examination of the guests. Research on roads and railways was one of their summer projects. While some people may say directly that it might be boring, Adam thinks its better to say it’s "not wrong" to say that it's boring.

 

Everyone discusses the benefits of an Raship. The guests single out the philosopher-king RA and also talk about doing the job while located remotely from the professor with little or no supervision. Richard suggests that the students are treated as near-professional adults.
