Am I a Troll?

Newly chosen Troll Pope, Ryan Connolly will be the judge to determine whether or not the Chatrealm is just a bunch of trolls.

The Over-reacting Parents vs. John Doe

The defendant and his siblings recorded themselves singing the name of one of their friends (Connor) round-robin style and left the CD on his doorstep anonymously. His family would sit at the dinner table trying to figure out who could have made it and eventually got a security system installed. It has been four years since the event and they haven't told a soul that they were the one responsible.

Ruling: Not a troll

The University of Alabama vs. Boasting Auburn Students

This year Auburn University beat their rivals, the University of Alabama in football 28-27 after a 21 point comeback. After the game, a few Auburn agriculture students went and planted the final score out side of Alabama's stadium using a very fast growing grass.

Ruling: TROLL!

Bible-Beaters vs. Baby-eating Athiests

Some ultra-Christian students living in the same dorm as the defendants put up some religious posters on the walls of the hall. The defendants wrote anti-religious sentiments on the posters which were then crossed out by the religious students. After a few more written attacks from both sides, the residential advisors took down the posters to end the battle. The defendants believe that they were merely practicing free speech.

Ruling: TROLL!

Chatrealm vs. The Podcast Plugger" (Representing the defendant is the Southern Lawyer, and representing the prosecutor is the Gumshoe)

The defendant didn't have a case to submit, however he did give his twitter name and ask for Brian and Justin to plug his new podcast during the show.

Ruling: TROLL!

Squarespace

Brian is glad that the show is bringing awareness to the Troll Pope and what he does, so he is going to create an "infomationalware" site for everything related to the Troll Pope. However he needs a robust hosting solution and his isn't very good at HTML and CSS. Plus, he has a feeling that the site will be "Dugg" and "Reddit-ed-d-d-d-d-d". Luckily there is SQUARESPACE! Squarespace will solve all of his problems. It is the most brilliant thing since air.

Spanish Travel Advice

The day after recording the episode, Ryan is going to Madrid, Spain for the Ford Global Drive promotion, so Brian and Justin decided to give him some advice.

Justin: In Spain, they eat meals much later than Americans, so if they try to give you a meal earlier, just drop it on the ground. Brian: Keep your hands off of Tom Merritt's wife. Also, drop your pants at customs, even if they don't ask you to do so.
