  Speaker 1: So he and his buddies are getting their room ready
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: for the folks to come, and they're all going to join, uh,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: come to Brian's room for some drink in New Year's

• 4:46
  Speaker 1: in New Year's Eve? A very popular song, and uh,

• 5:09
  Speaker 1: So he wants to put on some music. And the
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: way that he does that is he takes a laptop
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: just like this, a MacBook laptop, opens it up, keeps
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: it open ninety degrees yep, plays some music. Okay, cool,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: And that's how he's gonna do to do a speaker No,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: this is just it's using the speaker on the MacBook.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: That's exactly right. And he puts it up high so that,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: The sound disperses a little bit closer to the ceiling.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Also out of the way of everybody. Yeah, you know,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: anybody knocking it over makes sense. So that's the scene, okay,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: And she's going to use her tiptoes to put her
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: drink on it.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I already don't like Casey, So right now, the friends
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: will show up to his room. About forty minutes later,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Casey puts a drink down on the laptop and it
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: spills all over the laptop. They try to blow dry it,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: put the drink anywhere else, and no such luck. Judge
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: then asked if she was drunk. She's and he says,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: he speaks something. Who says the night it was an
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: early night. It was early in the night, early in
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the night. None of us are drunk yet, okay. Casey's
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: version of the story is that they were having a
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: good time. Folks started to take pictures. Casey twenty one
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: years old, trying to become a professional. No, just like
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: she's you know, she's a young professional. They all are
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: trying to become professional, right but I'm talking about Casey
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: right now. Casey twenty one years old, trying to be
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: a young professional. Doesn't like to take pictures where she's
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: holding an alcoholic back. Okay, so everybody starts taking pictures.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: She's like, hold on, she's looking around for a place
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: to put her drink. Behind her is an armoir. That's
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: where he he has it on top of an arm ware.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: She claims that the armor about ten feet high. She
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: has to say it on her tippy toes.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Is she an eight foot tall woman? No, she is
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: less than six feet. If it's ten feet tall, I
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: am not placed on my I can't dunk a basketball jumping,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: So my tip toes is eight and a half feet.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: She says it's eight to ten. All that she knows
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: she's less than six feet. She has to stay it
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: on her tippy toes to put because it's the only
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: flat service that she could find. It's not the only
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: flat service in a hotel room close to it, Okay,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: puts it up there.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: She claims, did not see the laptop see it ninety degrees,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: I know, did not.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Hear the music. Puts it on, falls down. She's like,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: oh no, so then that's at this point. She gets
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: a chair, stands on top of the chair, looks sees
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: it as the laptop. They blow dry it, as mentioned,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: and it worked for a couple of minutes. Then it stopped. GARYO.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Burman's getting his money back, so he takes his laptop
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: and he brings it to an Apple store and they
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: quote him seven hundred and fifty dollars to fix it.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Uh so it's been a few years, Casey says, Listen,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not responsible for this. You throw a party, you
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: know that, and there's gonna be drinking. There's risk there,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: and you shouldn't leave your laptop open. Part of leaving
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: your laptop open is you know someone might spill all
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: over the laptop. That's something that you decided to do.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: And Judge Millian is like, how did you not see
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the laptop though? And she's like, I don't know. I'm
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: sure it's very high. I couldn't see it. She says
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: that she offered to pay for half. Okay, I'm half responsible,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: and then she says five hundred, so I don't know.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: She says she was willing to pay my feet, you know,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: half five hundred.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: It's exactly right, half a seven fifty five five hundred,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: that's exactly right, he says.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: He says, that's true. She did offer to do that,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: but then later she said that it was gonna have
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: to be later in the summer when I get a
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: job and get money and I just feel like she's
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: never gonna pay. Yeah, so that's why we're here today.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: He then says, I have a picture of the armoire. Okay, okay,
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: my Guyah went back to the hotel. Motel said hey,
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: can I go into this room and just take a
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: picture of the arm and they said yes. And the
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: picture presented shows him standing next to the armoire, where
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: he is the exact same height as the armoir, so
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: not ten feet tall, he.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Is six feet tops. Judge Million trad.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Judgementleon follows the law typically, which makes this tough because
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: I think that Tommy o torman should get Brian O'Gorman.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Bryan O'Gorman, that's the one. Brian o gorman should get
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: all the money. I think she's either gonna come up
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: with some dumb nonsense about you inherent risk at a
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: party or it was a hotel room you split seas
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: final answer, she's gonna have him split it.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Final answer, She's not gonna have him split it. She's
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: he's gonna get all the money. Dude. I love judgment.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Judge money On says it's all your faults. He was
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: in hide in the laptop. In fact, you open it
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: up and put it so high because he didn't want
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: this to happen.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: And I also don't believe you that you couldn't see it.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I see a picture where he's the same height as
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: the height of it, and I know that you can
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: see the top of his head. It's key seven hundred
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and fifty.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Dollars plus tax plus court costs.
• 10:39

• 11:15
  Speaker 2: care if you know him. In fact, he would actually
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: like that you know him. I just didn't give his
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: last name. I didn't write it down. Casey specifically doesn't
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: want to last I was like going really fast on
• 11:25

• 11:27
  Speaker 2: rewind it, and then I couldn't find it and it
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: was a whole thing. So I just I don't have it.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: I don't have it gang and it is what it is.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: So Randall's suing Arthur Young for two thousand and four
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: hundred and ninety five dollars for car repairs. H big money.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: So Randall is in a three piece suit with pastel colors.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Is church red d. He says, you're on our families.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: This young man in my families have been neighbors for
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: over fifty years and have a long term relationship.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: That's excellent.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: My mom and his grandma went to school together. This
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: commune means a lot to me. I was in prison
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: as a young man. I wrote a book after I
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: got into prison. I have a copy for you. Now
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Mathis is Mathis isn't having it. He said, you're not
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: going to come in here and promote your stuff. You
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: think because I went because Mathis is a felon. Matthis
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: went to prison. You think because you went to prison
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: and I went to prison, I'm won't come in here
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: and promote your stuff. But this sounds like you're trying
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: to glorify your past of crime. I wrote a book too,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: but I gave a lot of insight in my past,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: and the crux of it was instructional, not glorification. And
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: the name of that book is Inner City Miracle, and
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: he smiles.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Wow. Wait for it though.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: So the guy goes, you're one of the reason I'm
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: telling you this is because one I care about the
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: community a great deal.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I got out of the community.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: And then I ended up we ended up adopting eight
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: boys because they I didn't want these kids to grow
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: up in the community, to grow up without a last
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: name and end up in juvenile services. So I wanted
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: to be have something, be something, and so I did that.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: We're all twenty to three years older.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Okay. He's like, I'm an advocate for the community.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: I'm advocate for the youth in our community, and as
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: an advocate, it behooves me to sue this young man.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Wow. And Mathis goes, wh Where you're from? He says Detroit?
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: And Mathis all of a sudden starting to change his
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: tune about Randall because Mathis is from Detroit.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Where are you from? He says?
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: He says the East side of Detroit. He goes, oh,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: that's a tough neighborhood. And then Randall says, well, we
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: have actually a history, believe it or not. And Mathis goes,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: were you in jail with me? And he says, no,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: years ago, when I was in college, I did my
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: internship at this he names this community center and this person,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: and Mathis.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Goes, yeah, that's my guy. It's a mentor.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: And then he's basically and he goes, and this is
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: when you were a young lawyer, just starting to practice law,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: and you would come over to the community center. Wow,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: this guy is helping you out. And I literally watched
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: you like to step up the ladder. Yeah, and I
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: gotta be honest. Mathis almost in tears. Wow, it's pretty beautiful.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: It's a pretty cool scene. Math is almost in tears,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: and he's like, all right, thank you very much. We
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: got to get back to the case. But then he
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: does give the name of his book, which is just

  Speaker 2: March twenty nine, four thirty am. I here a loud
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: crash outside, gunshot. I look outside and the utility poll
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: across the street is down and it's laying across their cadillac.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Then I look over his Cadillac, not his Arthur Cadillac. Oh.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Then I look over and that utility pole going down
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: has pulled down my utility pole strung across and my
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: car basically looks like a hot dog bun the middle
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: where the cabin is has been smashed.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Pizza pizza, hot dog, pizza, pizza hot or French fried.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: So I'm like, oh, my goodness. So I call the
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: energy company to complain. Uh and well, once the you know,
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: the cops come, blah blah blah. I call the energy company,
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: I call the telephone company, and both of them say, hey,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: this is not our fault. This is this young man's fault.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: His car hit the pole. You have to get your
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: money from him. You don't get to sue us. This
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: is we will come out there, but our claim will
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: say it's this guy's fault. He owes you money, so
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: you've got to sue him. Wait, he was calling the
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: energy company to have them pay for the power.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll get there. Because it gets a little complicated,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: but well, okay, so he wants to pay for the
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: power lines and his car and his car his car
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: is needs three dollars worth of damage. I mean, I
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: think the power company should pay for half of that,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: so power lines.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Arthur is like, I've always had the most respect for
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Randall and his entire family. Whole situation could have been easy.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: His niece turned this into a nightmare.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: She was there.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: She came out screaming, cussing, and I was scared.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: I didn't know what to do.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: And matthis like, well she's supposed to come out smiling
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: like a telephone poles on top of her car, and
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: he's like, I just went inside to get my phone
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: to take pictures. My mom is trying to keep me calm,
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: assuring it's an accident. And Mathis goes, do you think
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: you're responsible? He goes, no, your honor, it was an accident,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: and it was an accident. He goes and the pole
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: and he stopped, and he goes, did you hit the pole?
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: He goes, I, Gray, I rubbed against it. I grazed it.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: This isn't It's like, it's like, okay, kid, but wait
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: for it.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: He's like, you grazed a telephone pole and it fall
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: and he says, your honor, it was rotted out. Our
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: neighborhood's terrible. The power lines haven't been fixed and that's
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: why it fell. And I have pictures. Matthis says, So
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: your defense is the pole was rotted. You make a
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: mistake you should have avoided. That's calling negligence. You're always
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: responsible for negligence. And he goes, you're on The street
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: lights were also out. So it's four three in the morning.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: The street lights aren't working.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: We don't get that information because he was leaving his
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: house though he wasn't show interesting. He was backing down
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: the driveway and he's like, the street lights were out,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: the pole was rotted. It's hard to see, okay, all right,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: So Mathis gets picks and we see the base of
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: these telephone poles in it is unconscionable. The polls are like,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: it looks like termites have gotten it looks awful, like
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: it looks like a strong push.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: This is when Gino would bring out.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: A an expert, an expert now when you see these
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: and and then so Mathis is like, Sarranda, what do
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: you say to this? He's like, well, nobody knew the
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: poll was rotted because it was still standing and the
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: city said it wasn't. And matthis is like, of course
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: they're going to say that it wasn't rotted. It's if
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: they say it's rotted, then they have to fix it.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: And he said, you're on our All I know is
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: my car. He's twenty four hundred and ninety five dollars
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: worth of maintenance or fit like repairs. I called the
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: energy company. I called AT and T. They both told
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: me that this was not their problem. Maths is ready
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: to rule who is suing who. Randall is suing Arthur
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: for two ninety five dollars to fix his car. The
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: power company's fixing the telephone poles the car. His car
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: is broken because the kid hit the telephone pole and
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: knocked him down. But the kid's cars also yes, well
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: we're not No, it's just Randall for his own car.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: He can't drive it. Four and ninety five dollars. This
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: is a very tough case. It's really very tough.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: And I think if this maybe took place anywhere other
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: than the east side of Detroit, maybe we have a
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: different verdict here. But I think I think that math
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Is is gonna be like, you know what, I grew
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: up in neighborhoods like this where these type of things
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: weren't taken care of. And this kid is a young kid.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: You know, the street lights weren't being maintained, the telephone
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: poll was rotted. I think we're gonna give the kid
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: a break here. I think I think we should give
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: the kid a break here. Is that so crazy?
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: It is not so crazy? Brand but matthis gives Randall half.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: He says, you know what you need to do. You
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: need to take both the phone company and the power
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: company the small claims court, and he lists the specific
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: court in east side Detroit. You go to this court,
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: you file these papers, and you take him to court,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: and you sue him, because that's who's responsible, at least partially.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: This kid shouldn't hit the pole.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: He's half responsible, the power company and the telephone company.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Whichever one you decide is the other fifty percent responsible.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: I'm giving you half.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I don't hate that. I loved it. I thought Matthews
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: did the right thing. Fun time.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: I love that. I love that, and I love this.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: I love what we did today. Yeah, we took a break.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: We told everybody to sit down. It was different. It's different.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: People think we can't evolve, but we can't grow in here.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: I think everybody can learn something every day and just
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: keep slowly but surely get better or take a break.
• 20:09
