  Speaker 2: about muslims. Oh no, Mathis is like, how'd this come up?
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: And she says, you know, I don't know. She just

  Speaker 2: randomly said I would never rent to a Muslim because
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I'm afraid they'd kill me because I eat bacon. Matthews
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Matthis says, so she just said this to you randomly
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: out of the blue, and Emily says yes. Matthews says,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I don't believe that. Sounds like Matthews, sounds like the
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: mathis we know and love, So move on. She says, Okay.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: The first night there there is a ten thirty pm
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: quiet time. Can't you can't make noise after ten thirty
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: time of the Lord quiet time, individual quiet time thirty
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: for everybody that's exactly right, go to the Warrior war room,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: and also anytime after your personal quiet time, it also
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: has to remain quiet, So no more, no sound, no party,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: and no a loud music, nothing like that.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: After ten it is two, A m.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Eastern stated, I don't know, and her and her son
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: are awoken by Tracy's barking dog, little shit Sue.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: And Tracy is the one that just has the one room.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Tracy is her this is her place, yes, and this Emily,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: her little ship Sue is causing all the problems. A
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: little shit too is being a real shiit sue, real bitch.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you will, and uh no, I don't know,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know where we're going here, but whatever, it
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: was good.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: And so she goes to like check because it's like
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: going on for a while and remember a quiet time.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: And so she goes opens up that she's like it, Tracy,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: there's no answer, Tracy's no answer.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Tracy, she's not saying.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: So finally she goes over, she opens the door, and
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: she can smell the alcohol. That's as she suspected. Yeah,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: exactly right. So she decides she's gonna let she's gonna
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: let the dog go potty. Yes, no, it's not like that,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: and uh, potty potty, it's tied to potty.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Uh we like the potty, we like we like to patty.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: And so she brings the dog back in and she
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: goes to stay with her dad the rest of the
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: night because she she's just like no.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: So tie.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: So she says, I lived there for four days.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I just couldn't take it anymore. So she ask for
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: a deposit back. Judge asks to see the.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Text that she sent to say to say hey, I'm leaving,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: and we see the text and the text is basically
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: just saying the dog it was too much that one night,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: so I can't stay. So nothing about Muslims, nothing about racism,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: just like nothing about There's also a point in here
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: about Tracy pouring dialysis medicine into her toilets that is
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: supposed to be hers. It's her private bathroom. She claims
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: that Tracy when anytime she had to get rid of
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I don't really know anything about dialysis, but she was
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: emptying a dialysis thing in her private bathroom. Yes, gotcha,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: But nothing about that either in the text.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: It's just so uh.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: He explains that there's nothing she can do about barking dogs.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: First of all, they don't know about quiet time. She
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: does say they, which is pretty funny. She thought that
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: they were getting along nicely, but she just up and
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: left after four days. She explains that she signed a
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: lease for six months, and the lease says that you
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: can't get your deposit back.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: So I don't even know why we're here.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Matthis asks Emily if the dogs barked every night,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: and what do you think?
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: She says, yes, no, what just the one night? What
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: a dufus?
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: You're so not smart, Emily explains, she was really frustrated
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: that first night, and then that that happened after the
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: whole Muslim incident, and so she was like already feeling weird.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: And then the fact that she didn't have a private
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: bathroom as she was told because she keeps emptying out
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: the dialysis tank or whatever. It was just too much.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: And she and he says, well, why didn't she say
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: any of that? Why didn't you bring that to her?
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Why didn't you, Like, you're only there for four days,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: the dog was only barking one night. In this text,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: you don't say anything about the Muslim thing or the
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: dialysis thing. You just say the dog barking thing. Why
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: don't you say anything about that? She's like, well, I
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: felt bad about the diale like her daughter a dialysis.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I felt bad, weird about that. Blah blah blah.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Where are the numbers from? Like the number she's suing
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: for her deposit back? Okay, So the number that Tracy
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: is suing for is for defamation, and that brings us
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: to this defamation case where Tracy shows Judge matthis a
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: post from emily social media page calling her an alcoholic racist.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: We don't get to see that post, but matthis season
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: and goes whoa, whoa, and Emily says, maybe I shouldn't
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: have said that, but you know, I was frustrated at.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: The time, not doing herself any favors.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: In the court, judge Mathis is ready to rule she's
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: not getting a deposit back because she was not smart
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: enough to say the dog was barking every night, and
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: she didn't do anything against the least the private bathroom
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: thing she didn't mentioned as a complaint. I think that's
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: the big problem, definitely is your character. With Matthes's reaction.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Give her the amount of money that the other one
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: was suing for. Give her fourteen hundred dollars close.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Emily's not getting anything. He explains that in order to
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: get your money back with a least like this, you
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: have to prove that the living conditions are unbearable. You
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: did not prove that one night of barking dogs not unbearable.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: It's annoying, but not unbearable.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Tracy gets the full amount that she assumed.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: You can't go on the Facebook and say that somebody
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: is a racist, alcoholic and the.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Least proposed about your brain. I'm really really sorry, No,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: that's true.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: So I think there's enough evidence to go around for that,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: and so that's why I would never.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: See I'd lose that case. You would lose it.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: And so there you go. Tracy gets the full mount.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Honestly didn't see it coming when.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I went put into this. Now here's the thing.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: I honestly think Mathis made up his mind about the
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Muslim thing, and he was like, I'm not even.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Gonna play ball here.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: So he he kind of mentioned like, Hey, you've seen
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: my show before. You know that I'm somebody who isn't
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: going to put up with with racism. I'm gonna I'm
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: gonna be on the side of defending the people that
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: need to be defended. So you came in here, you
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: made up something about this woman decided being a racist,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: and you thought that that would make me be more
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: open to you. Leaving after one night of barking boss
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: did not work. So there you go a lot of
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: assumptions on Mathis's end. I I found the woman to
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: be believable. It's just a weird that's what it was.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: A weird story to make up. She didn't prove that
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: that part of it is weird to make up. But
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: she didn't prove she improved that it. No, I don't
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: disagree with the ruling. Actually, I just I found it
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: very interesting that he he didn't find her believe why
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I found.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Her to be.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: Can I tell you where you can leave your assumptions
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: at the doorstep and get the heck out of here?
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Is Judge Ross's court room. That's true.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: After we take a break, I think we should get
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: to my care. I love that here on yo, gabble, gabble.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Oh boy, back here on yo gabble. Can I tell
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: you what I've heard? What have you heard? So, Judge Ross,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I've heard.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Something about this and you can turn around about Judge
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: can tell me if it's true. But I've heard that
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: in Judge Ross's court you know justice.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I know justice, and I think I know where you're
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: going with this. Everywhere else it seems as if it's
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: a foreign concept. It's really important in Judge Ross's court
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: room that you know that justice is not foreign concept.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: In his court room, it seems like this is the
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: exact opposite of everywhere else.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Justice is not a foreign Ross is fantastic. Would would
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: love uh to to to.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Just be friends with that guy, And like if I
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: was friends with him, and I had ordered wings for lunch.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: I would hope that he wasn't mad he was, and
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: he'd understand that's right, okay.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Uh so, yeah, so let's get this because that's not
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: that's not your problem.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: It'd be like one of the things if I ordered
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: it at like eleven fifteen and I went, well, Ross
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: hasn't been in all morning, it doesn't really matter. It's
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: like it's eleven fifteen.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: It's this point I would know if Ross would have
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: wanted wings.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Go ahead. Aeron Producer Aaron would like to note that
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: she did suggest reaching out to Judge Ross. I have
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: positive that. Producer Aaron said.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: Why would we It's already eleven thirty almost, why would
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: we even ask? Is what producer Aaron said.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: But Producer Aaron did say, should I reach out to
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Judge Ross? Was hypothetical? Wings?
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: In my defense, it was after eleven and this isn't
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: about you. But come on in, come on in here
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: real quick. How do you think that this all all
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: would play out if you again it was assuming court?
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like there's a case. Uh, I mean,
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: you willingly, knowingly, obviously decided against one route. He chose
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: a route, So there's guilt on both sides.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: I would say the I mean, if Brian shut up
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: to work on times.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: It's Wing Wednesday in there.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: But Judge Ross, Ye, Judge Ross.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Last Wednesday we ordered wings and I texted him yeah,
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: and it was a no go.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: And that was like ten thirty in the morning. Judge
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Ross has skipped Wing Wednesday. Has a history, yeah, of
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: not being around for Wing Wednesday. And then it was
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: eleven fifteen. Ross has never been here for Wing Wednesday's
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: are we talking the weeks you're going? Like on the
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: cruise we all ate with Judge Ross. Judge Ross came
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: here for Wing Wednesday.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he did.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I know Brian sometimes joined us. I don't. Maybe I'm
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: a little lost. Let's get back to you. You were on
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: a cruise. Wings were not a foreign concept that week
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: A good time. Let's get back to Elijah Whitlock is
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: suing Elijahngate Luck strawing Aaron Reyes for nine hundred dollars
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Big Ones, nine hundred dollars nine lounge. What he tells
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Ross is is he's a singer.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: He gets hired by Aaron to play guitar and sing
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: at Aaron's bar, and he was supposed to be compensated
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: eighteen hundred bucks for a month's worth of work. They
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: had chosen a few week days every week.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: How long do you know how long each set is? Nope,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I have no idea.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Aaron is like, rosse, what kind of bar is He's like,
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: it's a whiskey and cigar bar and cigar lounge.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Uh and interesting? And he goes, Okay, so you're suing.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Why are you suing you? Had you ever been to
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: a cigar lounge? I have? It's not my deal. I'm
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: not a big cigar guy.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: I tried to be when I was like twenty, and
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: I was like, this is stupid and I don't like it.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: It's not stupid. I'm sure it's wonderful if you love
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: a cigar. It was for me.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: I would wake up the next morning my throat would hurt.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: I just like, yeah, not not down. Oh yeah, you know,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: not for me? Yeah? Yeah, are your cigar guy?
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: I don't frequent them, know, but when they're around, I
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: enjoy it. I enjoy the activity.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, you enjoy that. Yeah, it's about the fellowship. Really,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: it's about the fellowship. That's exactly right.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: When I found out that Christians could smoke, could smoke
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: cigars and drink bourbon moldy. Yeah, there was a there
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: was a time period where that was when God really
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: became real for me. So Ross is very skeptical about this.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: He's like, so you're telling me that you're complaining about
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: the conditions of a cigar lounge and you couldn't perform there.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: And Ali's like, yeah, I am ever been to the bar,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Like how did this? How did this relationship start?
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: He's like, look, there's no problem singing in a smoke
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: filed room.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: As long as there's a singer in a smoking room.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Uh, as long as there's enough room, Like, as long
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: as I have a stage or something, it's fine. And uh,
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: Ross say, you don't have a separate place for the band?
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: Is he just in the crowd? And Aaron's like, we do.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: We have a band that performs year round every weekend
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: and they have a stage in the back and it's
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: all for them, and and Ross is like, so, what's
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: the issue. Elijah's like, well, the band has a big stage.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: It's separate from the tables. Aaron had me on this small,
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: little like platform stage in the middle of all of the.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Tables of people smoking cigars. So it's interesting. When I
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: went to tour the bar, I didn't see that. Stug
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: just saw the big stage, the big stage in the back,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: whereas now I'm in the middle of it. It's interesting.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: And so there's there's a tiny little platform, there's all
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: these tables, all the smoke. If I'd been in the
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: back room, it wouldn't have been an issue.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: And what Ross was like, did you tell him this
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: ahead of time? Aaron was like, well, he came in,
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: toured the bar and agreed. I didn't think I needed
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: to give him any other details. He knew the space,
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: he knew everybody's gonna be smoking cigars. And Elijah's like,
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: I have a blueprint of the bar, so I can
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: hear here. You go like, sure, I brought it up.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: She's like, Ross, this is where that stage is, this
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: is where I was blah blah blah, and Ross is
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: like okay.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Elijah then says, oh no, Elijah needed some evidence he
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: brought up Yeah.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Ross is like, was Elijah the first person to ever
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: perform on the smaller stage?
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Great question by Ross, A great question. Aaron Reyes says, yes.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: First time.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: We're trying it out.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Interesting Weekday performer Elijah said, I even asked Aaron when
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: I saw the setup, is there any.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Way that I can move to the backstage?
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: Aaron said no. I started singing. I then tried to
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: politely ask customers if they could move away from the
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: stage because I was coughing. I couldn't breathe. Ross was like,
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: you asked customers in a cigar bar to stop smoking
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: their cigars?
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Wow?
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: And he's like, your honor, I just needed a bit
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: of room from the smoke. He's like, you want customers
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: that have paid to be in a cigar bar to
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: not smoke. What kind of sense does that make? How
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: long did you perform? He goes, I performed for two weeks.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: I powered through before two weeks, and then he basically
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: he fired me. He paid me nine hundred dollars of
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: the eighteen hundred because I said I need to go
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: to the backstage.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: He said no, he gave me nine hundred. The contract
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: was for a month. I'm suing for the other nine
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars. It's interesting, Aaron, see the contract.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: Your honor.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: We're getting there, your honor.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: I fired him because online people were complaining about him.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: They said the guy.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: That's see asking me to move or to go outside
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: at a cigar bar.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: It was terrible for my business.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: Elijah is like, da absolutely five story if you could
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: five started, and I'm just saying they'd asked me to
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: move away, ask me to move away from I was
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: smoking too close in the stage. And then he said,
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Elijah tells me nine hundred dollars. I have the contract.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: It stated in the contract, and he hands it to you.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: As he says this to Ross, he says, I can
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: go over it with you. Ross is not like that.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Ross says, you don't need to go over it with me.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: I don't how to read a contract. That's one of
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: the first courses that they teach you in law school.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: I can read a contract saying thank you very much.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: So you poked the bear.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah you did, so we read the contract. Is a
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: very basic one page contract. A month of singing eighteen
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: hundred bucks. That is, you get eighteen hundred you sing
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: a month for me, you get eighteen hundred dollars. Doesn't
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: say anything else, doesn't really say anything else at all.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: Ross is ready to rule at this point.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: It's interesting, I do.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: I think that this should have This was a uh.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Kind of like a mutual split.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Right, he the singer, Elijah didn't really want to do
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: it anymore. Right, it was power, he said he powered
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: to for two weeks. Correct, the owner was getting bad reviews.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: I do think that the owner should have tried to
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: keep Elijah to honor the contract. When I leave, I'm
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: gonna go out like Elijah Amen by moving him, like, hey,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: let's move you to the stage. Yeah, clearly this is
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: not working. It doesn't seem like the owner was willing
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: to do that and fired him by and large without cause.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: And I think he's gonna get the money. I do
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: think it's tough. I could see him not getting the
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: money because he was affecting his business reviews or everything.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: But I do think the contract, although it is loose,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: says hey, we're going to do this for a month.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: We're going to do eighteen hundred dollars. And although although
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Elijah was complaining, he was showing up, he was doing
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: his job. And for that reason, I think he's going
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: to get the money.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: He is going to get the money. And the reason
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: he's going to get the money is because in Jude
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: Ross's courtroom, justice is not a foreign about him. Yes,
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: he says, Hey, I get why you fired this guy. However,
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: this is not a well written contract. You did not
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: give yourself an out. It doesn't say anything about performance
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: is substandard. I don't have to pay him.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: If the If he's like, does a contract, A contract
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: can be terminates any time.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: It's yes, not guaranteed.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: It's a teachable moment. Put it in writing. You didn't
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: he gets the nine hundred bucks.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: If you don't want your contract to be guaranteed, you
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: have to say it's not guaranteed. Yeah, this isn't a guaranteed.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: It's a hundred it's each week. Each week is guaranteed,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: but the month is not guaranteed. Class is what you
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: should do.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: We did it. We did do it everybody.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: We're gonna be done and we'll be back next week
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: with another one.
• 20:28
