74: 14 Cases That Shouldn't Be Real (They Are)
Episode description
(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) This is our fourth **Reb's Round-Up** episode—A rapid-fire (or as rapid as Reb can make it) list of cases that deserve to be included in the Rebuttal Podcast universe but are too short to devote a full episode to.
For this Round-Up, Reb gives you *14 bonus cases* for you to tell unsuspecting friends and strangers all about, including:
- Drones delivering packages to prison;
- An ex-lawyer in a purple G-string hallucinating a Giant Panda;
- A bank robbery research project;
- A $517,000 rock, paper, scissors game;
- A trip to the morgue and back to the ER;
- A (former) judge banned from a mall for being a creep;
- An update on the infamous bee assault case;
And more...
Enjoy!
