In “Lawyer Letters” | Episode 257 of The Black Lincoln Collective Comedy Podcast, Parker gets the opportunity of a lifetime: six hours in a virtual mock trial where he gets paid to judge strangers, argue about negligence, assign blame, debate damages, eat chicken wings, and slowly convince himself that he is Perry Mason.

After surviving legalese, questionable jurors, an $873,000 damages suggestion, and the invention of Parker’s imaginary lawyer credentials, the crew heads into Fredline News. This week brings an orange shark, a serial butt sniffer, Michael Douglas trivia, a Titanic mayonnaise story, rumors of disappearing genitals, an endurance athlete’s unfortunate mid-race bathroom emergency, and a Florida case involving allegations that become increasingly difficult to describe.

It’s law, news, bodily functions, bad decisions, and three men who should probably never be selected for the same jury.

00:06:50 — Everybody Loves to Sue
A discussion of addictive behavior somehow lands on lawsuits, giving Parker the opening he needs to reveal his mock-jury adventure.

00:07:53 — “Yes the Fuck I Would”
Parker is invited to participate in a virtual trial and has absolutely no hesitation.

The plaintiff’s lawyer essentially returns to say everything the defense just told them is wrong. Parker immediately respects the move.

00:11:07 — Setting the Price Early
The lawyer frames damages in the neighborhood of $750,000 to $2 million. Parker’s initial response is closer to “$25 tops.”

00:14:33 — Lunch Break Legal Strategy
Parker uses the comforts of remote jury service to prepare chicken wings and return to several hours of legal terminology.

00:16:29 — Parker Discovers Power
The moderator tells participants they can help explain concepts to confused jurors. This is the exact permission Parker should never have received.

Parker realizes that a random group of twelve people statistically guarantees somebody will have no idea what is happening.

00:17:35 — “I Am the Law”

00:20:40 — Steve Arrives
Parker finally finds the angry juror he was hoping for and immediately develops a courtroom friendship.

00:22:33 — Negligence Explained
Parker explains negligence using surgery. Fred thinks McDonald’s fries would have been a better example.

00:27:57 — $873,000
Everyone else is debating five-figure damages when one juror suddenly lands on $873,000 because the lawyer suggested something similar.

00:28:38 — Parker Wins
The group eventually moves toward roughly $25,000, Parker’s original number, giving him all the validation he needs.

00:31:05 — Lawyer Letters
Parker imagines his future legal title and produces the phrase that names the episode: “whatever fucking lawyer letters are.”

Parker uses his closing remarks to tell Steve he loves him and declares the mock trial the most fun he has ever had in a Zoom meeting.

00:35:45 — Fredline News Returns

Fredline News introduces reports of men claiming their genitals have mysteriously disappeared or shrunk.

00:56:57 — Elite Athletic Competition
