Stella Liebeck’s Coffee and Neil Young’s Middle Finger
Frivolous lawsuits have long been fodder for late-night TV jokes, and empty vitriol from politicians gunning for tort reform.
A 3 million dollar cup of coffee, a defective shower cap — these things are ripe for ridicule.
This week, after a very TMI explanation for our recent hiatus, we’ll talk about a couple of famous lawsuits with eye-rolling reputations and try to get to the bottom of civil law in America.

We’ll also listen to more Neil Young than Darien ever thought possible.

Glad to hear everyone is safe! This episode was well worth the wait. Also, are we really sure the pinkeye wasn’t related to the events that occurred? Keep up the awesome work!
