- 0:31Speaker 2: some extra holiday cash and pay off debt. He insists
- 0:36Speaker 2: that he took every precaution to protect Jeremy's belongings. Jeremy
- 0:41Speaker 2: says he never gave permission for strangers to sleep.
- 0:45Speaker 3: In his bed, and now he wants compensation.
- 0:50Speaker 4: Was this a harmless holiday side hustle, or did Mark
- 0:54Speaker 4: cross the line? All rise for Judge Joe Show on

- 1:01Speaker 1: Jeremy, first question for you is, How many times do
- 1:04Speaker 1: you wash your sheets after that? Because that's what would
- 1:07Speaker 1: be freaking me out the most is like someone was
- 1:10Speaker 1: laying in my bed.
- 1:11Speaker 5: Man, I just bought new sheets.
- 1:15Speaker 6: I wasn't against it.
- 1:18Speaker 7: Hey, Mark.
- 1:18Speaker 6: Hey.
- 1:20Speaker 1: All right. So, Mark, we're going to have a lot
- 1:24Speaker 1: of people calling in and giving their opinion about you.
- 1:27Speaker 1: It's either going to be good or it's going to
- 1:28Speaker 1: be bad.
- 1:30Speaker 3: 800-409-9393.
- 1:33Speaker 1: If I've got everything correct, Katie says that you two
- 1:38Speaker 1: live with each other.
- 1:40Speaker 3: Jeremy, you go out of town.
- 1:41Speaker 1: Mark, you do an Airbnb rental while he's gone. Mark,
- 1:50Speaker 1: I mean, stick up for yourself. What do you have
- 1:53Speaker 1: to say? Why is this okay?
- 1:55Speaker 4: Okay.
- 1:56Speaker 6: Well, it wasn't really a big deal. Like, I mean,
- 1:57Speaker 6: he wasn't home and like, you know, we have parties
- 2:00Speaker 6: and stuff sometimes. And like, you know, we've had people
- 2:03Speaker 6: crash over, you know, our place before without, you know,
- 2:06Speaker 6: asking us. It's never been a big deal. Like sometimes
- 2:08Speaker 6: it's my friends, sometimes it's his friends. So, you know, like,
- 2:11Speaker 6: you know, I think, I think as he was leaving, honestly,
- 2:14Speaker 6: his words was like, you know, enjoy having the place
- 2:16Speaker 6: to yourself. So like, to me, it was like, you know,
- 2:19Speaker 6: we had, the room was free and like, you know,
- 2:23Speaker 6: You know, Christmas is coming up. You know, I'm trying
- 2:25Speaker 6: to save some money. Like, I didn't think it was
- 2:26Speaker 6: a big deal.
- 2:27Speaker 3: Mark, is it your house? Do you own the house?
- 2:31Speaker 6: No, we both rent. Neither of us own it.
- 2:34Speaker 3: I'm not a life genius. It is. What do you mean?
- 2:39Speaker 8: I mean, I would have never thought to rent out
- 2:41Speaker 8: my roommate's room to make some money, especially here in
- 2:44Speaker 8: Florida where people vacation all the time. My only issue
- 2:47Speaker 8: is I wouldn't, you know, cut them out. $ 50? Or
- 2:51Speaker 8: I would have just cleaned up so he wouldn't know,
- 2:52Speaker 8: so you kind of failed yourself on that. That is genius.
- 2:55Speaker 3: I'm not going to lie.
- 2:57Speaker 6: Thank you.
- 2:58Speaker 3: You're welcome.
- 3:01Speaker 4: 800-409-9393.
- 3:02Speaker 1: Jeremy or Mark, who is in the right, who is
- 3:05Speaker 1: in the wrong? We're going to start off with Ashton
- 3:07Speaker 1: right now. Ashton, Jeremy's room got rented out to Airbnb
- 3:12Speaker 1: all because of his roommate Mark.
- 3:13Speaker 3: Well, Jeremy was out of town. What do you think?
- 3:16Speaker 9: That is disgusting. You don't know who you rented to.
- 3:19Speaker 9: Whether you know the people's name or not, you don't
- 3:21Speaker 9: know who they are.
- 3:22Speaker 3: They shower.
- 3:23Speaker 9: They don't shower. They wear deodorant.
- 3:25Speaker 6: They don't... They had a very good rating on Airbnb,
- 3:27Speaker 6: just to let you know. They were a five-star Airbnb renter,
- 3:31Speaker 6: so it's not like I rented it out to just, like,
- 3:33Speaker 6: you know, these people were getting all kinds of complaints
- 3:35Speaker 6: and stuff. Like, you know.
- 3:38Speaker 9: If me and ten of my friends go up and
- 3:40Speaker 9: put all of our parents' houses on Airbnb... Or we
- 3:44Speaker 9: all go put our apartments on Airbnb and then we
- 3:46Speaker 9: all rate each other. Now we're all five stars.
- 3:49Speaker 6: I ain't thinking that either. Just because of the.
- 3:51Speaker 9: Rating doesn't mean anything. And Yelp has proved that anybody
- 3:55Speaker 9: can go and leave a review on somebody. Just because
- 3:58Speaker 9: you see they have a five-star review doesn't mean they're
- 4:00Speaker 9: the best people.
- 4:02Speaker 1: Listen, Jer Ashton making some good points. We appreciate you, man.
- 4:06Speaker 1: Thank you so much for calling in. We love you.
- 4:08Speaker 3: Ayo, my man. Yo, my man, my boy Mark just
- 4:12Speaker 3: trying to make some extra cash. He wasn't even sleeping
- 4:14Speaker 3: in the room. Was anything missing?
- 4:15Speaker 6: Anything stolen?
- 4:16Speaker 3: Did it smell bad?
- 4:17Speaker 6: No.
- 4:18Speaker 1: Well, actually, let's ask that. Jeremy, anything missing? Anything stolen?
- 4:22Speaker 1: Does it smell bad?
- 4:22Speaker 3: What happened?
- 4:24Speaker 6: This guy doesn't even know what's going on.
- 4:27Speaker 3: Hold on.
- 4:27Speaker 1: Listen, I've been banging my gavel and saying order in
- 4:30Speaker 1: the court, but this whole entire time I've been quietly
- 4:33Speaker 1: looking for my gavel.
- 4:34Speaker 3: Oh, where the hell was it?
- 4:36Speaker 6: Hold on.
- 4:37Speaker 3: Let me, uh, let me. There we go. Soundtrack. Yep,
- 4:40Speaker 3: still works. Go ahead, eh? Oh, my man, what was that? Oh, wait, no,
- 4:44Speaker 3: not you.
- 4:45Speaker 8: Jeremy.
- 4:46Speaker 3: Jeremy, did it smell bad?
- 4:48Speaker 1: What was that like?
- 4:52Speaker 3: Things were adjusted.
- 4:53Speaker 9: Things were moved.
- 4:53Speaker 5: It was clear there was someone there that wasn't me. Like,
- 4:56Speaker 5: nothing is missing that I can tell. But, I mean,
- 5:00Speaker 5: I don't think that's the real problem here is that, like,
- 5:04Speaker 5: he just did it. He didn't check with me on anything.
- 5:07Speaker 5: And going back to him saying, like, oh, like, we
- 5:10Speaker 5: have people that crash there.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Sure we do.
- 5:12Speaker 3: We also know them.
- 5:13Speaker 5: They're also not staying in my bed when I'm not there. Like,
- 5:18Speaker 5: that's the biggest thing here.
- 5:21Speaker 3: This economy's hard, man. You should be wanting to help
- 5:24Speaker 3: your boy Mark make that extra money for two weeks. Like,
- 5:26Speaker 3: go get that, Mark. I'm on Mark's side.
- 5:30Speaker 6: You know what?
- 5:31Speaker 3: Mark, he's inspired me to rent out Leo's room.
- 5:34Speaker 6: He doesn't.
- 5:34Speaker 3: That's my room.
- 5:36Speaker 5: That's the rent that I pay.
- 5:37Speaker 6: Yeah, he wasn't there.
- 5:39Speaker 3: He wasn't there.
- 5:40Speaker 5: That money should go to me if it's anything because.
- 5:44Speaker 6: I rent that part.
- 5:44Speaker 3: Some of it should, not all. What do you mean,
- 5:48Speaker 3: not all? Not all the money.
- 5:49Speaker 8: I mean, he did have to go on the website
- 5:51Speaker 8: and put it together. And let's be real, Mark did
- 5:53Speaker 8: have to sleep with a stranger. So, like, let's... You
- 6:00Speaker 8: know what?
- 6:01Speaker 3: That's like a modern day... He just Airbnb'd the room.
- 6:04Speaker 3: He made a double profit. I mean, I can't knock
- 6:07Speaker 3: the hustle. He just fired you.
- 6:08Speaker 8: Yeah, if you're a real friend, you would want to
- 6:10Speaker 8: help your friend by helping get this money.
- 6:12Speaker 3: How much do you guys pay for rent?
- 6:17Speaker 5: It's like two grand.
- 6:19Speaker 3: Two grand a piece or two grand total?
- 6:23Speaker 5: Two total. So like a thousand bucks a piece.
- 6:25Speaker 1: Okay.
- 6:26Speaker 3: How much did you charge for the Airbnb, Mark?
- 6:31Speaker 6: About $ 150 a night. It was pretty reasonable.
- 6:33Speaker 3: $ 150 and how long did they stay?
- 6:35Speaker 6: About a week and a half.
- 6:39Speaker 3: A week and a half. Damn, that's pretty good. Man,
- 6:43Speaker 3: I need to come up with a new hustle.
- 6:44Speaker 6: You know what?
- 6:45Speaker 3: I'm just going to hang up and keep listening.
- 6:47Speaker 9: Bye.
- 6:47Speaker 1: Bye.
- 6:48Speaker 3: No kidding. No kidding. Let's just pretend it's 10. He
- 6:54Speaker 3: made about.
- 6:54Speaker 6: I think the first group was in there for about
- 6:57Speaker 6: four days, and then the next group was in there.
- 6:59Speaker 6: You had two different groups?
- 7:02Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
- 7:03Speaker 2: This is getting worse.
- 7:04Speaker 3: All right, hold on. All right, hold on. I'm putting
- 7:07Speaker 3: this together right now.
- 7:08Speaker 6: I was aware of one. Slow down, Mark.
- 7:11Speaker 3: You're getting yourself in trouble now.
- 7:13Speaker 8: Speaking too much.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Well, we're cross-examined. This is good that we're asking these questions.
- 7:18Speaker 1: Let's go on to Talanda.
- 7:21Speaker 6: Yes, Talanda.
- 7:22Speaker 3: What up, Talanda? How you doing?
- 7:24Speaker 7: Hi.
- 7:25Speaker 9: I'm very well, thank you.
- 7:26Speaker 6: I think that's gross.
- 7:28Speaker 3: And why didn't Mark rent his room? If it was
- 7:33Speaker 3: that important for him to make money for himself, he
- 7:34Speaker 3: should have rented.
- 7:35Speaker 6: His room and crashed in his roommate's room. Or even
- 7:37Speaker 6: on the couch.
- 7:38Speaker 3: If this is about him making money, otherwise it's gross.
- 8:02Speaker 3: You overstepped. Talanda, unbelievable call. I want you to call
- 8:07Speaker 3: him more often, all right? I will do that. All right.
- 8:10Speaker 1: I love you guys.
- 8:10Speaker 8: Love you.
- 8:11Speaker 3: We love you so much. Thank you so much. We
- 8:12Speaker 3: got Ashton. Ashton keeps calling back in. Ashton, what's up?
- 8:16Speaker 3: You got like an update or something?
- 8:19Speaker 6: Yeah, man, I did not. You didn't say there was
- 8:21Speaker 6: two different groups there, pal.
- 8:23Speaker 9: You didn't say there was two different people staying in there.
- 8:25Speaker 3: You just told on yourself.
- 8:29Speaker 6: What does it matter? It gives me a chance to
- 8:31Speaker 6: tidy up a little bit in between renters and stuff
- 8:33Speaker 6: like It's an Airbnb. I'm not looking for a short-term
- 8:37Speaker 6: living situation in my friend's room. That's just crazy.
- 8:40Speaker 3: That's just an extra set of butts, though, in his bed.
- 8:43Speaker 3: I've been putting together a couple of things right now.
- 8:45Speaker 3: Your friend's room.
- 8:46Speaker 5: Not your room. Your friend's room.
- 8:50Speaker 9: Of course I want my friend to make the... go
- 8:53Speaker 9: into somebody else's space he pays for it he pays
- 8:57Speaker 9: you a thousand dollars for the room you made that
- 9:00Speaker 9: a thousand dollars and didn't even say hey you don't
- 9:02Speaker 9: have to pay any money on rent this week here's
- 9:04Speaker 9: some money i appreciate you letting me have people he.
- 9:06Speaker 6: Was on vacation he said have the place to yourself.
- 9:11Speaker 1: Like, what does it matter?
- 9:12Speaker 6: What do I do with it when he's not there? Like,
- 9:15Speaker 6: why should he care? It'd be different if he was
- 9:18Speaker 6: home and he came home from work, you know, but
- 9:20Speaker 6: it wasn't being used. Yeah. Okay.
- 9:23Speaker 1: All right, Jeremy and Mark, listen, this is, uh, this
- 9:28Speaker 1: has been quite the interesting judge show show. Uh, You know,
- 9:33Speaker 1: through our trial, we learned some information that definitely rubbed
- 9:39Speaker 1: a couple of the people in the courtroom the wrong way.
- 9:41Speaker 1: We had a couple of jurors call back in because
- 9:44Speaker 1: of what they heard. If you just turned on your radio,
- 9:47Speaker 1: welcome to Judge Joe's show where Jeremy hit us up,
- 9:50Speaker 1: wanted us to take his roommate Mark to court because
- 9:53Speaker 1: while Jeremy was out on vacation two weeks, Mark rented
- 9:58Speaker 1: the room out on Airbus.
- 10:02Speaker 3: Okay?
- 10:03Speaker 1: Now, from my cross-examination of my questions, I was able
- 10:10Speaker 1: to gather some key, key, key information that we needed
- 10:16Speaker 1: for this. Not even necessarily evidence, but this is what
- 10:19Speaker 1: we know. They pay around $ 2, 000 a month for rent.
- 10:25Speaker 1: That's $ 1, 000 each. Mark rents out the room at $ 150.
- 10:29Speaker 1: We didn't get a specific night, but I believe it's
- 10:35Speaker 1: anywhere from 9 to 10 nights. At $ 150, you're taking
- 10:38Speaker 1: home about $ 1, 500.
- 10:42Speaker 6: Well, no, Airbnb takes a lot of that money. That
- 10:46Speaker 6: all didn't go to me.
- 10:47Speaker 3: What do you want me to do?
- 10:47Speaker 1: Hold on. My time to talk, not yours. Don't make
- 10:54Speaker 1: me keep that in mind. I don't want to use
- 10:56Speaker 1: that against you.
- 10:57Speaker 3: Now.
- 10:59Speaker 7: Thank you.
- 10:59Speaker 3: Now, all right, you've been forgiven. Thank you for that.
- 11:04Speaker 7: $ 1, 500.
- 11:04Speaker 1: You have to think about laundry detergent.
- 11:08Speaker 3: You have to think about stress. All of that water utilities.
- 11:14Speaker 1: Jeremy, let me ask you a question. Rent or money.
- 11:17Speaker 1: Which one is more important to you?
- 11:23Speaker 3: You know, I mean, like you said, the holidays are
- 11:26Speaker 3: coming up. You know, let's say money. All right. Because
- 11:32Speaker 3: of that.
- 11:35Speaker 1: Mark. You are to come up with $ 1, 750.
- 11:42Speaker 3: Keep us updated. I'm sorry to hear that, Mark.
- 11:45Speaker 1: If not, we're going to get one of our attorneys
- 11:48Speaker 1: involved in this because this is something... I was either
- 11:51Speaker 1: going to say that or I was going to say rent.
- 11:53Speaker 1: Free rent for two months.
- 11:55Speaker 3: Jeremy deserves that. It's so strict over here. What do
- 11:58Speaker 3: you mean?
- 11:58Speaker 1: If you make $ 1, 000... He's got it. He's got it.
- 12:01Speaker 1: He's got it.
- 12:01Speaker 3: Yeah, he needed that to pay his other bills. That
- 12:04Speaker 3: is Judge Joe Show. I want an appeals court for
- 12:08Speaker 3: my neighbor. That's it. How about the math on that, too?
- 12:14Speaker 3: You were accurate. The math was mathing. I am the judge.
- 12:20Speaker 3: Can you spell math? M-A-T-H. M-A-T-H. I love math. I
- 12:29Speaker 3: mean math. Don't say it on the keyboard.
