| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the rebuttal podcast where we break down case law, comedy, |
| 0:05.0 | and of course chaos that occurs in the legal field. I am, once again, your host, Rev. Maisel, |
| 0:10.6 | and today's episode, we are going to talk about this case. And here is the opener for you. |
| 0:18.0 | Tearful testimony in $54 million pants lawsuit. A Washington, D.C. |
| 0:24.2 | administrative law judge broke down in tears and had to take a break from his testimony because he |
| 0:31.8 | became too emotional while questioning himself about his experience with a missing pair of pants. |

| 1:40.5 | Now, some of you may have heard about this case already. Maybe you haven't, but usually when you |
| 1:45.8 | Google crazy fucking lawsuits, this one comes up. Why, you may ask? Well, because this article that I just |
| 1:52.8 | read from that opener, that cold open for you, is from 2007. Would you believe me if I told you |
| 1:59.5 | that the Pants Lawsuit lawsuit saga was not a few months or one year or couple year cluster fuck, as these often are? |
| 2:09.8 | What if I told you that the most recent update was from 2020? |
