Welcome to Devil’s Advocate—a business podcast for lawyers, marketers, and mischief-makers where the arguments are unserious, the comedy’s questionable, and chaos is the business model.

In our diabolical debut episode, two brave souls—Morris Lilienthal and Erik Heninger—step into the inferno. The catch? They’ve got to debate red-hot topics with one major twist: they’re arguing the opposite of what they actually believe. Chaos? Absolutely. Comedy? Obviously. Educational? …Debatable.

Hosted by Bobby and Andrew of MeanPug, this show throws real lawyers into fake debates with one rule: you must argue the exact opposite of what you actually believe. If that sounds ridiculous—it is. That’s the point.

Coming Up On This Premiere Episode of Devil’s Advocate by MeanPug:

Wheel of Misfortune
The debut of our brand-new legal torture device: spin the wheel, get a word, and argue your opponent’s made-up definition. This week’s word? Dravish. Fake? Definitely. Hilarious? Also yes.

Hot Topics with Cold Takes
Should sex work and marijuana be legalized? Morris and Erik trade sides, defend positions they’d never touch in real life, and somehow manage to sound almost convincing.

Mandatory Voting
Does democracy work better when you force people to show up? Both attorneys go full dystopian and full idealist—all in the same 10 minutes.

Also Debated (With Questionable Logic):

– Is the death penalty an effective deterrent?
– Are plastic straws the real villain?
– Is the medical malpractice system broken or just misunderstood?
– And should you ever settle a case when you could just trial-by-fire it?
– Football metaphors and Tesla analogies included at no extra charge.

Final Verdict?
Erik squeaks out the win (barely), Bobby and Andrew name the real MVP (the word “dravish”), and Yitz just wants someone—anyone—to stay on topic.
