Are TV Court Shows Real?

If you've ever had the dubious pleasure of watching daytime TV in the US -- possibly in a waiting room -- then you've probably witnessed a particular genre of programming: the TV court show.

In tonight's episode, Ben, Matt and Noel ask: Are these shows real? What exactly do we mean by "real"?

What can I say...I've been listening for years and it just keeps getting better. It's like you're a hanging out with a bunch of friends having amazing conversations about the most random topics. They are so clever yet never sound condescending when they're explaining complex topics. Quite frankly, if you're not listening you should! Love you guys 🖤
Balanced views but still entertaining
