  Speaker 1: to stick up for Cleveland always.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: And Jodge Mathis says, how much older are you in Cleveland?
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: She says, I'm a year older. Cleveland leans over and
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: puts his elbows on the table like full elbows on
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: the table like this like this and goes, h, what
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: does he say? He says, not even a whole year older,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: but okay.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I love this. This clearly hasn't bothered him at all.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: He leans over and he's like, not even a whole
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: year older, but okay whatever, Like you're already lying, you're lying.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: No good be saying you're a year older and that's not.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: True, and h Mathis kind of ignores him. But Matthews
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: is gonna become very very short with like mat It's
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: gonna wear on Mathis and you can see it where
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: because everything is like lish, not like very just over
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: the top.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: And he smiled the whole time. So Diamond says, we
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: had to fight his battles. He was a very effeminate child,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: and so we had to fight the boys, and we.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Had to fight the girls. Mathis says he couldn't fight
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: in Cleveland.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Says, I'm the best fighter in the family, right, And
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: then Mathis decides to offer up this piece of information
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna read it as Mathis says it.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: That's the only way that Yeah, you're scared, you're terrified,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and you should be Matthis says my brother was gay,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: and he'd tear you apart, especially if he had that razor.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Everyone is quiet, like like very like laughing, but just
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: very uncomfortable in the courtroom.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: And then he continues.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: People, has Mathes's brothers cut with the race?
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Ready? Yeah?
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: He said, you come around my projects talking about the
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: gay guys, they would slice you in thirty places.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Then Mathes looks at him and goes, you can fight,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: can't you, And Cleveland goes, oh, I can fight. Is
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Cleveland gay? Is that a part of this at all?
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay, but it doesn't come into play anymore. All right,
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Cleveland says, now, I did your honor.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I did. I got sliced before, and I ain't trying
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: to do no slicing, all right, So we do.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: But on the record is if you're keeping notes at home,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: you keep it scoring home. Cleveland ain't trying to do
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: no slicing.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Okay. Good.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Good to know that not all gay people will cut
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: you with a razor.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: That's good to know.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: It's good to have it on the record, thanks Cleveland.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Whereas Mathews, if you come around the gays, they'll slice
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: you up thirty different places. Judge mathis everyone God bless it.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: So he says, how you have a probat school.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Diamond's like, look, Cleveland could hold his own, but there
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: was always a bully and we were taught as a
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: kid to stick up for each other, and so that's
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: what I was doing. But we lost our relationship. After
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: high school. He started being a different person. Oh, Mathews said,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: how so?
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: And she said, well, he drinks a lot and it
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: made him totally different, really angry, really upset.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Math says he an alcoholic, and she said, yeah, he's
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: an alcoholic. Math says, well, that means he's acting a
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: fool every day. He's out there drinking every day. Somebody
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: does that once a month and they get angry. Okay,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: they're an angry drunk.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: You do it every day. Blah blah blah. Cleveland's over there,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: just doing the hym and a haul in the path.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Cleveland does not think he's an alcoholic.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: He just is like, you know, do it.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: He's basically doing all these freeze frames for a sitcom
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and I don't know why, but he is. So math
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: is Cleveland. Math's like, all right, let's hear from you.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: And Cleveland's like from our childhood. We never had good relationship. Uh.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: I don't know what he means by half the things
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: he says. I'm gonna be honest right now, but I
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: wrote a couple of them down to see if we
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: can get to the bottom of it. He says, she
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: can run that line all the way to the cemetery
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: and back, but it's not true.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: All right, I got that one.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: What line? I don't even know what line? Well, I
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: don't know what the line.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming she said something that he considers to be
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: a line that she is using.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Till they die. Is that what he's saying? Yes, okayat she.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Can say that as many times as she wants to
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: until she dies, but to the cemetery and back doesn't
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: mean it's true.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: She can go all the way to die dying and
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: come back and going as a ghost. Keep saying it
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: still wouldn't help me, thank you. Uh. He said.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I did some things as an adolescent, normal things like
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: sneak out of the house.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: And you know what my sister would do.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: When I sneak out of the house, she locked the doors,
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: and then when I couldn't get back in, she'd tell
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: my parents she was not a good sister. Wasn't loyal
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: sister at allow The position that she had to defend
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: me is a lie. She's never been a defender or
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: a sister, okay, And at this point I cannot rely
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: on her. And then he says, if this building burned down, she'd.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Probably take you out of here before me. I, well,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: can I just really speak up for her? I think
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: we all would. He's a national treather. Matt mash trether
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Masius is a national mathis is a national treasure. And
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: he must who thinks that the gay people in the
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: projects will cut you in thirty different places? National treasther?
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Judge may the treather?
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Do we all do? Matthews is? Why why would she
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: take me out of here before you? In a burning building?
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: And he says, well, I just left a domestic violence
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: situation nine months ago this January.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: I don't have any more information. I called both my sisters.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: It's not just that's yeah. I called both my sisters
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: on three way asking for their help. At the same
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: time he did a three way call. This kid might
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: be twenty five did a three way call. I got
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: an attitude from both of them. The way older one
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Diamond I lost everything. She claims to have been helping me,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: but she's only hurting. I can't rely on her just
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: to call her and tell her how I'm doing. And
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Judge Mathis lets him finish and goes, don't nobody owe
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: you nothing? Wow, okay, why are you talking like this?
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Why are you doing this? And he goes, well, she
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: owes me be and my sister, and he goes, he said, no,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: you owe her some money. Why do you owe her
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: some money? And he says, I don't owe her anything unless.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: You prove me guilty.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Not exactly how it works, but in Mathes's courtroom, but okay,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Diamond says, look, he just moved back in with us,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: and she can't finish that sentence before Cleveland goes, it's
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: a lie.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: He says it just like that. It's a lie.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: It's lies, it's a lie.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Says it over and over again. Judge Mathis says, ma'am,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: you got to get.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: Your story out real quick, because the way he's talking,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: I'm about to throw him out here. And Diamond said,
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: I had bought a car, a used car, and he
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: asked me if he could have if he could buy
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: it from me, and I said yeah, and I would
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: sell it to him for two hundred dollars, okay, two
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: hundred dollars, and he said, he gave me one hundred dollars.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: He said, give me the title and then and then
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: in a week, I'll give you the other one hundred dollars.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: And Mathis says, well, why'd you give him the cart
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: before he gave you all two hundred dollars? And she said, uh, well,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, like he said he was going to be
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: homeless in a week and he needed a job. And
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Mathis said, well, let him be homeless for a week
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: and see how that treats him money. And at this point,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Cleveland says, I've been homeless for I lived homeless for
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: three years, and Mathews, without missing a meat, goes.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: See he's used to it. My gosh, Mathews is doing
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: it in this episode.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: He's brutal.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: So he's like, tell me more about this. That's only
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: one hundred dollars he owes you.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: And she says, well, he started getting parking tickets in
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: my name over and over again.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: I started hearing from the state and from the.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: City about parking tickets, and I kept texting him telling
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: him it was in my the car was still in
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: my name, and he told me he'd move it to
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: his name.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I signed the title over to him. He should be
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: doing this, he should.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Be paying for this that, and it just kept piling up,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Cleveland said, Mathis goes.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Is this true?
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Cleveland goes, So I reached out to Diamond on exhibit
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: in your evidence Packet your Honor, exhibit page five. Okay,
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: exhibit page five.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Got it and says, I want you to listen to
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: this after we finished this, because I was trying not
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: you and I would have it would have been a
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: situation where we'd have been laughing.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Here's his best and I can figure what he says.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: He says, Diamond did not let me know about any
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: tickets in her name. This is what I was trying
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: to communicate, that if it came to this through a
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: third party.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: I would need to know ahead of time.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: He says that. He says, this is what I was
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: trying to communicate. If you look on page five, this
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: is what I was trying when I was trying to
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: communicate that if it came through a third party ahead
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: and then he said how it works, he says, and
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: then I was pulled over after she reported the car stolen.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: That's what he does. Uh, and my friend made a
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: statement in our evidence packet. He keeps referring to an
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: evidence packet to contact the DA and the attorney's office.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: And that's why I'm suing for one thousand dollars. In
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: mathis is like, hold on, hold on, we're not to
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: your countersuit yet. If it's your car, she can't report
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: it stolen. We're not there yet. We're not there yet.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Just wait. I need to know.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: About the balance of the card and the unpaid parking tickets.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Did you did you get these parking tickets?
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Does she have the parking tickets? Yeah, she's got all
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: the reck. Uh have you paid for those parking tickets?
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: She's He says, no, I've not paid it. He goes, great,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: why haven't you paid the balance of the car? One
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars balance of the car, and he goes, she
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: can have it. What does that mean? I guess it
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: means he'd rather give the car back to her. I think,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: but she can have the one hundred dollars, she can
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: have it. The one hundred dollars, she can have it.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: I guess I don't know. So Matthews goes, all right,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: let's get to this stolen police report. You're seeing one
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars for emotional distress, and you're saying that she
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: called the you know, she called it and stolen.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: You got pulled over. He goes, yes, and he goes.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: He says, Diamond, did you report use the term stolen
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: when you file the police report? And Diamond said I
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: never filed a police report. Oh, and he once again
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Cleveland goes, lies, lies, big lies.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: Mathis goes who has the police report that says the
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: car was stolen? Cleveland goes who has evidence saying they
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: bought the car. Mathis goes, well, you do, but do
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: you have evidence that she reported it stolen? And he goes,
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: my evidence is Demante Green. Who's Deamonte Green? My evidence
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: is Demonte Green. Matthis says, well, who is that? And
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: he says that's the person that I had to live
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: with when my sisters wouldn't let me live with them
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: any longer. And Judge Mathis says.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: What, well, the person that you'll live with will also
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: let let you live with them, will also lie for you.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: That's not a police report. And then and then Cleveland says,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: you're honor. I don't have no more time for this today.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I'm about to go shopping, all right. It was wild brand,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: it was a wild time with Cleveland Bailey the Third.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: You'll know your time for that.
• 14:47

  Speaker 2: That's a really low number for JA for.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: This, Yes, but let's get to it. Gino starts by
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: playing a nine to one one call from a man
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: claiming that there is a guy standing in the road
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: butt naked. Gino stops the nine oh one call and says,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: mister Taylor, are you the button naked guy? He says, yes,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: I am, And it's tied to getting the legal sauce.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Howard loves the beach. That's something you need to know
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: about Howard. And one day he's at the beach. He's
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: in the water and a riptide comes and takes his
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: swimming trunks off of him and away from so he
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: is like, I start freaking out. I can't find my trunks.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: So I get back to the beach and I'm like,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I've gotta get home. His home's only two blocks away.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: He's a firefighter, and so he's worried that someone's gonna
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: see him in the towel, didn't have nothing.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: He's at the beach with no towel and a rip
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: tide rips his swim trunks off.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: That is, I don't believe anything. This guy says, no way,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you. He's the nervous
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: that someone's gonna see him nake it and that he's
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: gonna lose his firefighter job. That's kind of where he's at.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: So he's like, I go running.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: I'm running.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: I go down an alleyway that I know of, and
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: there's a trash can there. I look in the trash can,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: there's a paper plate, and I'm like, thank God. So
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: I put the paper plate in front of my private
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: area and I get back to running. Now I get
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: to the road that I have to cross in order
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: to get to my house. My house is right over
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: on the other side of this road. It is a
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: two lane rode and so I go out.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: I run.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I go into the one lane, I hold up my
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: hand they stop. I then go to go to the
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: other lane and run through, and a car comes speeding
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: by nails me. I go flying up in the air
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: twenty feet and I land right on my bottom, breaking
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: his tailbone.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: I can't believe this is only seventy thousand.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Dottie says. I was on my way to choir practice
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: listening to my Christian music like I have every week
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: for twenty five years. How old is she She's in
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: her sixties. She says, I know this road like the
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: back of my hand, and I don't speed. Howard goes
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: over to the plasma to demonstrate what happens via an animation. Howard,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: as he's walking over to the plasma is doing like
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: really just giving it as all over there we see
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: an animation. A blue car in the lane closest to
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: us stops and he goes to run, and a red
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: car comes in the further lane, strikes him, sends him
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: for there. We see a couple of things here. We
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: see a hot dog stand and more on that later.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: But that's about it, and so we see what happens
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: things to this animation. Geno asks why Dotty didn't stop,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: and she says, I didn't have time to react. I
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: see some run, someone running, and then I realized some
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: things are jingling and tingling. I couldn't stop in time.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: I was so shocked. I was in shock. I don't speed.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: I have forty years of a clean driving record. I
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: don't speed. I drive looking forward. I just didn't have
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: time to react, did she keep driving or did she stop?
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: She stopped?
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, she's not a monster.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, he's going to cry a choir practice. Howard explains
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: that he busted his tailbone, had to be out of
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: work for three months now, has a super high pain
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: all the time, and the hardest part is that he
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: can't pick up his child or play with his child
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: without a lot of pain. Uh. And Gino says that
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: he understands what this specific injury feels like because the
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: same thing happened to him when he was playing college football.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Wow, same thing.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: A lot of pain. Whether you're standing up, sitting down, moving,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: not moving, doesn't matter. You're in a lot of pain.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: And Gino says, I can tell by your animation that
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: you brought uh here that you didn't use the crosswalk. Yeah, no,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: why do you not use the crosswalk? It is close,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: according to the animation, And he says that he was
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: just frantic, just trying to get home. It didn't even
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: occur to me to go to the crosswalk.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's not a lot to stand on here.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Geno brings in a doctor to talk about the injury. Yep,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: it's not fun. That's what you need to know about this. Injury.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Then Howard says, I have a witness. Can I get
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: a witness up in here? Jeremiah Graves is brought in.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Jeremiah Grave evidence.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Jeremiah Graves is a hot dog vendor.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Hot dog.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: On the street because it's right by the beach. She
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: sells hot dogs by the beach, hot dogs by the
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: beach exactly right, and cake by the ocean. He noticed
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: a car speeding, which he says is rare because when
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: you're by the beach, people typically drive slow to twenty
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: five miles per hour.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Speed twenty five mile an hour situation.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: People typically drive a lot slow, slower because there's kids around,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: et cetera. So when someone speeds, you notice it. It
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: was a red car. I look at this red car
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: and I make eye contact with the driver. The driver's
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: looking over at me. I think she wants a hot dog.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: She's driving like looking right at me, and I see
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: her and it's that woman right over there. So he says,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: I he didn't.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Did he observe the accident?
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Yes? He then watches the woman looking at him and
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: then gets she goes behind the blue car. The blue
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: car has already stopped, so that's where he loses his
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: eyesight of her, but then sees a man go flying
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: twenty feet, so he's able to put you know, two
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: two together twenty twenty feet in the air. So he says,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: she was definitely not looking in front of her, she
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: was definitely looking at me. Gino asked Dottie if that's
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: the case, and she says, no, I was always looking
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: at the road. I was listening to my Christian music.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: That's what I do. She's very just like taken back
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: by all her you know. Jeremiah says he basically everything
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: again that he saw her looking at. So Gino ask
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: ask Dottie if if it's not your fault, why do
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: you think he's suing you, and she says because he's
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: a free loading scam artist. Whoa I know? And Gina says,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: those are some pretty bold words. Why do you say that?
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: And she says this is not his first lawsuit. Two
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: years ago, he filed a lawsuit claiming that he was
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: struck by a vehicle. Ah. She presents the folder to
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: the court. He says that he's had some bad luck. Yeah,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: pass lawsuits are not relevant to this case, and Judge
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Gino is ready to rule.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: So here's the thing. You know the fifty to fifty rule.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: I know the fifty fifty rule.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: But the bigger thing for me is that his story
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: is not credible. And let me tell you why. If
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: she is speeding, that means she is going thirty five
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: to fifty miles an hour. And if you hit someone
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: in a car going thirty five to fifty miles an hour,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: they do not fly twenty feet.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Up in the air.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: They get smooched, they're done. They don't break a tailbone. Okay,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: she was not speeding. This guy's a scam artist. His
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: story doesn't add up, and he paid some guy chilling
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: hot dogs to help him out.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: He had better not get a time. No way, no how,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: I'll see.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: You all right. So Judge Gino starts by saying that
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: he can't that past lawsuits are not relevant to this case.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: He can't consider them when making argument, so he literally
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: tears it up. It so thanks he is. So he says, Howard,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: first of all, you didn't use the crosswalk.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Didn't use it.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Didn't use the crosswalk. That's called the safety zone. So
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: didn't use the crosswalk. But then he says, Dottie, I
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: do believe that you were driving distract it. Okay, and
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: so he says, Howard, I believe that you are twenty
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: five percent responsible, So I'm gonna give you fifty two.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Are you kidding? I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: That's absurd.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: This guy's a joker. This guy's just a big old joker.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Judge Gino got had, You got had. That's terrible. He's
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: wrong for this, for this, that's awful. Yeah, not great man,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: not brutal. Yeah, I didn't even talk about the towel thing.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Why do you not have a towel? Yeah, just it's
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: there's so much of his story that doesn't add up
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: so much, so much, you know, I couldn't believe it.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Twenty five percent. I thought he was bad as saying
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: the gas and the projects will cut you thirty different. Yes,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: I thought he might get a little something. That's kind
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: of what the vibe was picking up. But twenty five percent,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: that's crazy. The cross like you literally crosswalk is the
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: whole that's the whole, the whole game. Okay, exactly right.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: You don't have the right of wayes run out in
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: the street just because you're naked, doesn't mean that the
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: rules don't apply to you. Greed best I can figure
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: if so much tells me otherwise.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Count you're not on the devil. Devil we did.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Congratulations, gonna be next time. We'll be back next time
• 25:59
