• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Jerald Jarrold hey, Jarl, Jarl. Jarl owned two pet turtles
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: for six years.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Senior in a boom shock yeah og big range shout out,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: boom shot, shout out. He loved these turtles. They were
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: a part of his life for six years. So his
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: parents decided they're going to move to Florida, and he
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: decides not to go with him.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: He's going to live his own life, kind of do that.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: He's twenty five, so good good on them.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: He does want to go visit them, though, and so
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: one big hurdle, of course is turtle turtles.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, to take care of her, Senior boom shock O
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: big big Graham O g bigram O big. So he
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: uh wants to monster truck rally. Yeh, Senior read a
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: boom shock cage. They get points. How do they do that?
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know how much. I think it's just pure destruction.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I've never been to one, and I've never had any
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: desire to go to one. Almost took my boys to way.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I got free tickets. Yeah. I was about to say,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: you did what? But I have it. I decided not
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: to you. I just don't know what the I mean.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I guess the draw is like seven year old big
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: truck fire. I think that's the But for me, I'm good.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: They might love it. They might think it's too loud.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, you gotta wear them. You gotta
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: wear the things. Oh yeah, noiseles noise cancels.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: So he decides that he's going to go visit his parents,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: and he decides that his cousin and best friend one person,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: same two jobs.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: One person.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Cousin and best friend decide, Uh, you're gonna a turtle
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: set for him?
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: How hard is it to keep a turtle? Question jar
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: for four days? Great question?
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Jerry asks the same question, what goes into sitting for turtle.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Jerald says, basically, you just need to feed them. I
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: feed them fish. That's what I do. And so, uh
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: we see video of the turtles and these turtles are
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: in a big tank all water. So these are like
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: water turtles, swimming around, swimming around.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: They're in water all the time, and they have water.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: They can go take a dip. All water, water all
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the time. So that's a tough spot for a turtle
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: because they have to breathe. They can't, they can't. I
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: don't know what the deal with with these turtles. I mean,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: sea turtles live in the water and they probably don't
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: have to be many of these are sea turtles, sea turtlemous.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: The aquarium tank aquarium in a full aquarium tank, big boy,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: big boy.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: And there's fish flying all around them. I was baffled
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: by Sea turtles can hold their breath for several hours.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: A resting turtle can remain under water for four to
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: seven hours. But still, I would say, harder to keep
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: alive than a land turtle. I would think so, but
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: he would apparently doing pretty good. He's doing pretty O
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: g ramhorn o, big ram, thank you.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Not or how they are you put some respect recipes obviously,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: So basically you just got to feed them and they
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: will be They'll be fine. And so Rikierre says, yeah,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Jerald showed up with the turtles and a bag of
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: fish and didn't give me any instructions.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I was kind of familiar with him, but I didn't know.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: I I assumed it was like a sprinkle, like like
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: fish fish food, but instead of fish food, fish are
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: the food. You know, when you have fish, you just sprinkle.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: He was like, I assumed that that was how what
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: they ate, but they don't. They Apparently these ones eat
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: full full fish, a little goldfish and stuff.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I felt I felt like I didn't like it anyway.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Uh So rakiir Uh is like, all right, I'm gonna
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: do the best that I can and uhudg Jerry is like,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: did you ask what the fish for? Fort and he's like,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, I figured it out. So Jerald gets home
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: and can immediately tell that something is wrong. The vibe
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: is off with your best friend and cousin, same person.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: To go.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: And so he's like trying to distract him and trying.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: To keep from going into his room.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: But when he finally does get to his room, he
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: sees big tank fish, no turtles, and rakire. When he
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: turns around, Rick Here has a shoe box and he
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: hands them the shoe box, and inside the shoe boxes
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: both turtles.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Let's take a moment, Senior read a boom shock. Wasn't
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: a turtle, Big Graham. Senior to boom shock, O g big,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: big Graham. They deserve better. We hardly knew ye. Yeah,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: so uh.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Jerry asked what happened with the turtles, and Rikkeer says
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: it was boring. Uh, I was just watching them. It
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: was I was just watching them and they weren't doing anything.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: So I decided to take them out and race them,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: which is something that he had seen Jerald.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Turtles to Dora.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Jerald has seen jer Jerald's like, yes, a fun It's
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: a fun thing to do with turtles is to race them.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: So Rick Here puts them in the middle of the room. Uh,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: didn't think to put a barricade up or anything. Didn't
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: think that they would run too fast. Jerry's like, how
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: slow are you? They lost them and rick Here says, well,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: here's what happened was I wanted to record the race,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: and I didn't have my phone, so I went to
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: go find my phone, and I was gone three minutes top.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I come back.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: I come back to the room and the turtles are
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: nowhere to be found.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: So I'm looking all over the room.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: I can't find them, And eventually I did find them.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: One was under the bed, one was under the dresser.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: They passed, they passed away.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: And Judge Jerry says, you didn't check under the bed turtles.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Rick here is like I did check onto the bed.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I didn't see him there. I don't think he started there.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I think he ended there.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Jerry then asked Jerrel about the funeral expenses. Jerald says,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I bought flowers, uh, two decorative boxes from Michael's, a
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: little headstone, yeah, a couple of other little things.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Jerry has an idea, let's do a turtle race. Now
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: I thought this is this is uh mean spirited. I
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: thought that this was starting to sound like a case
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: you've like you've done this.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: But I haven't done this before. It sounds like you've
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: done this.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: He decides that he is going to Uh it's very
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: similar to a case that I did with coffee, where
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: he brings in coffee. Yeah, yeah, so I in that
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: same he's gonna do a turtle race with two dead
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: like this is he's not gonna do with the dead.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: But you know, I don't know.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: So I thought that this was gonna be to decide
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: the verdict, but it wasn't. It was just for fun
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: and to put your mind at ease. It was wind
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: up turtles. It wasn't real turtles. They were just little toys.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: They were a little toys. There's little toys. So yeah,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Rakia wins. It's not for the verdicts.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Uh, Rikira has to pay this guy, like you did
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: everything wrong, You got bored, you raised them, you left
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: them alone. Maybe they're under the bet, like give give
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: the man his five hundred dollars, Give Darell his five
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars for the love of everything good and decent.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Uh, Darrell's gonna get four hundred what he Jerry says,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: this was gross and negligence. You gotta pay four hundred
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: dollars for the turtles, nothing for the funeral.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: That was a choice that you made, Darrell.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Okay to buy the decorative boxes and the headstone and.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Uh no, no how you treated those turtles.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Just give him whatever he asked four hundred dollars, four
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: hundred dollars for turtles, nothing for funeral.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Jerry rules seen you read a boomshock deserved better. He's obviously,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Dan take it. Well, this isn't nearly as serious as that.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: But uh, let's go over to the personal injury coord
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Shall he judge Gino into the legal sous the sous sauna?
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Olivia Ryman is suing Veronica Harris ten thousand pass medical okay,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: fifteen thousand future medical, seventy five thousand for the cost
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: of a wedding party, and one hundred and fifty thousand
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: in pain and suffering for two hundred and fifty thousand.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Great job, that's a great job too. Fifty out the door,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: corner mill, tracking quarter mill, that's what we're going for.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: That's a lot. That's a lot of money. Olivia Ryman says,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: twenty years ago, my husband and I got married in
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: a courthouse. We had nothing, no money, We just had
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: each other. We promised ourselves if we ever had the
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: ability and the money and the wherewithal, we would do
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: a proper wedding. And that happened to be close to
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: our twentieth anniversary. So, man, this is interesting. Would you
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: consider that a vow renewal? Yes?
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so you wouldn't go to it.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: In the That's this interesting situation because if they're calling
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: it a wedding, it's the celebration of their wedding. It's
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: not a vower renewal because they never did their vowels
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: in front of people. But they did do their vowels.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: It's a very sticky wicket. But if they never had
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: a wedding to begin with, and I knew them for
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: twenty years, it would be like going to their first
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: wedding in my opinion, So I would make an exception
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: on my vow renewal policy to go, even though it
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: is a stand up. I know I'm doing the best
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: I can. So how about these two for their twentieth
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: anniversary decide to actually have a wedding. And they did
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: it up. I see the pictures. I mean they have
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: a horse and buggy to take them out. It's all wide,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: it's outside massive tent. They really are going above and beyond.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: And this is year twenty, year twenty. So Olivia's friend
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: refer her to Veronica, and it is, but it's the
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: first wedding. It is I'm not saying it's not. Yeah,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: it's just like it is a renewal. But if I've
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: known you for twenty years, so let's did they just
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: suddenly come into money.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know, because if the whole thing is when
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: we finally have some money, we'll do it like it's
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: it's wedding. You know, this wedding is twenty five thousand
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: dollars without blinking and eye. So like to have money
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: to do the wedding of your dreams, you really have
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: to save up. Yeah, so I'm just saying it, yeah, okay.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would make an exception, but I'm not disagreeing
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: with you. It is about now, but I would make
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: an exception. So she said, my friend referred me to
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Veronica and her reviews were amazing. But she was she
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: must have just done trailer park weddings. Oh so we're
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: back in Judge Jerry. This wedding was supposed to feature
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: It did feature two hundred people wedding family friends from
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: all over the world. We don't get any more details,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: but Olivia says it was a disaster. Judge Gino goes
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: to Veronica. Veronica's like, listen, you're on I've been in
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: business over a decade. I have a stellar reputation. This
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: is why people come to me. You have to book
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: me over a year in advance. Olivia is lucky she
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: got on my calendar. Does she do only trailer parks
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: or she doesn't know? She takes very much offense to that,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: and this wedding is definitely not at She's like, I
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: put a lot of time and love and effort into this.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: And have you ever heard of the term bridezilla? Because
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: that over there is a bridezilla. She everything I wanted
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: to bring to the table, every plan I had she rejected.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: And Judge Gina's like, but miss Harris, the customer is
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: always right. And then Veronica goes orange flowers, your honor,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: orange flowers. And then Olivia is like, it went with
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: the color scheme. What's the big deal? And Judge Gina
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: is like, miss Harris, the customer is always right. What's
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: the big deal about doing what the bride asked you
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: to do? And Veronica's like, I was hired to do
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: a job. I was arguing with her NonStop. I know
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: how to plan weddings. This was a whole different level.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Everything was a problem, always, always, and judge. Gin's like,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: this is what you get paid for. That's why you
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: get paid the money to do the job. And she says,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: but her ideas were just tacky and not very plausible
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: or possible, and you hired me. From my professional opinion, Yes,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: the customer is always right, but if if I tell
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: you this is a bad idea, you should listen. Now
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: at this point, you're thinking, I'm not great with that.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: I think it's your job to just do whatever. The
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: bride says. It's about to get sticky. It's about to
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: get sticky, so Olivia says. Gina's like, well, what how'd
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: you get injured? And Olivia says, we're doing the first dance.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: My husband and I are out there. They made it
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: through the wedding. All eyes are on us. It is
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: the most beautiful moment. And all of a sudden sharp
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: pain in my head out of the blue. I'm on
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: the floor, she begins to cry in the courtroom. I'm
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: on the floor. I look down. My head has bloodhole
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: over it. My my dress is bleeding. My dress has
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: blood on it. I don't know where any of this is. Like,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: my head hurts h And Veronica is like you'r honor.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: It was absolutely horrific. I ran to help her immediately.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Olivia's like, everybody saw this. My kids traumatized. You know,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: we're not supposed to laugh. It's not funny. Disco ball.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: There's a disco ball on the floor. I'm thinking I'm
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: going to die there. Somebody called nine one one and
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: they came to save me. Veronica's like, someone called nine
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: one one, shorty fire burning the dance floor. Whoa uh.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Veronica is like, I'm the one that called nine one one,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: and then Olivia goes, yeah, thanks a lot, which is
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: a weird response. I thought at that point she could
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: have at least said thank you. Gino has a disco
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: ball in the courtroom. I don't know why. It's the
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: dumbest thing I've ever like, we know what a disco
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: ball looks like. It's a fifteen pound disco ball. You
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: need to know that for I don't know how other ones,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: but it sounds that's what you say. Veronica's like, you're
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: on her. This whole thing boils down to her not
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: listening the balloons that she put and wanted in the facility,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: or why the disco ball dropped. How so we'll get there, okay.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Olivia is like, why can't I have balloons at my
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: own wedding? I want balloons. I should get balloons. That's
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: a great question. And Verronka's like, it was going to
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: look like a circus. I didn't want it to look tacky,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: but I submitted a design to her, the disco balls
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the floor. No balloons, She said, no,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: I want balloons. Uh, and and and and I think
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: balloons are tacky. But you got to pick your battle.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Can I ask you a quick question? Yeah? So do
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: you get to see the design that she mocked up? Yes?
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, so disco balls hanging I'm assuming yes? And are
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: where are the balloons? The balloons also hanging around? The
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: design she mocked up has no balloons, right, but and
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: so what actually the ballot? It's going to get crazier
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: and I'm so excited for this for you.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Olivia is like, I have a scar that's still on
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: my forehead. I'm gonna have to have get plastic surgery
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: to fix it. I sustained a concussion. I still have
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: migraines and nausea to this day. Gino talks about his
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: football days and how he remembers concussions, sins Gina, and
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: then Olivia says, I can't even be a part of
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: my kids' lives now, which is just fundamentally not true.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: That is a false statement. I just I want to
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: be very clear. I am sorry. If you have migraines
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: and nausea and you had a concussion, you can still
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: be present in the room with your children. I don't.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: And her children are like, I think they're older than young.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, she brings the dress to the courtroom. It
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: looks like Carrie at the prom. There she's crying. Yeah,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: it's her grandma's dress. She wanted to give it to
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: her daughter. So then Gina's like, Vernica, why are you
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: not responsible for this? And she's like, the balloons are
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: what caused the accidents. That is verified. I can't wait
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: to find out how she wanted the balloons to be
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: in the air above the dance area surrounding the disco ball. Okay,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: they have a plasma situation where there's a cartoon that
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: they've done of the disco ball, and the streamers of
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: the balloons get caught in the disco ball and as
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: it winds tighter, it snaps the disco ball's chained and
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: the and it falls right and and and Gina's like,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: so balloons in a disco ball they just don't jive.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: And this is where I'm so happy that you're here
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: and we do this show. She goes, the balloons that
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: I had up would have been fine, but then her
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: mom showed up with even more balloons. So her mom
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: is in the courtroom. Let me introduce you to Irma Patterson.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: I e fing love Irma Patterson. Irma Patterson says, Hi, Nope,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: don't put your phone. Put your phone down. You need
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: to hear this in all of its glory. My name
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: is Irma Patterson. But people call me Mama Balloon. Why
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: do they call you that, Irma? People call me Mama balloon.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: That's what they call me, Mama balloon. It's a family
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: tradition in our family in honor of my late husband.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Every event we have has balloons. Sure, every event my
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: husband laughing, No, they're very serious. Every event my husband
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: brought balloons. He was a balloon guy when we did.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Any event that we did, didn't matter what it was,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: family get together in the park, balloons. So it was
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: his thing. And then we should have passed away. I
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: became Mama Balloon. I don't know. We don't get that information.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: But it's a very big deal to like Papa Balloon.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Now we're doing this live. We don't even that's not
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: even in a second or third take. That's right now.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: So Mama Balloon is trying to explain, like how big
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: a deal balloons are for her family, and Veronica's like, okay,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: so make a balloon arrange, have balloons outside the facility.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Mama Balloon shows up with three hundred more balloons. Did
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: not tell anyone in advance. How many balloons did Veronica.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: We don't get that answer, but it's not many. Three
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: hundred is a lot to add. That's a lot of balloons.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Makes me over the dance.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: It makes me believe that there's a lot of space
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: left to be filled. Gino's like, Mama Balloon, you brought
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: three hundred balloons. Mold he does, and you didn't tell
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: anyone in advance, and Irma Patterson aka i E. Mama
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Balloon says, uh, it was going to be a surprise.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: This is the most magical event of my daughter's life.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna surprise her with balloons. It's very impact. Veronica
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: is like your honor.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: I didn't know about these balloons. You gotta, you've gotta.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: At some point, you got to throw up your hands
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: and go, what am I supposed to do? She brought
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: three hundred balloons and just put them in there, like
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: I can't. There's nothing I can do about that. And
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: then we bring in a physics expert, Katie Lowley. This
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: is classic Gina. I just couldn't believe it, and she
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: explains energy transfer and how when the disco ball fell,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: even though it was fifteen pounds, because it was fifteen
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: feet up in the air from fifteen times fifteen, it's
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: not exactly, but fifteen feet up in the air, there's
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: a mass velocity situation happening, and Katie Olivia's head was
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: fifteen feet from the disco equivalent of hitting her at
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: twenty one miles an hour upon impact, and two hundred
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: and fifteen it's equivalent of throwing two hundred fifteen pounds.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: On top of her head, So it's a lot of pounds.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Is ready to rule, Okay, I feel very strongly about this.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: This is not Veronica's fault. You cannot come in and
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: add three hundred balloons balloon and have the balloons be
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: the reason? Why are they are they disputing? Well, the
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: balloons cost it. They Veronica cannot pay her any money.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: And I've already had it up to here with Gino
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: and his baloney.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: If Judge Gino makes Veronica pay this woman and Mama
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Balloon any money, I will never watch another. Judge Gino,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: it is you cannot. You cannot.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Now if Mama Balloon never brought the three hundred balloons,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: then it would it then be Veronica's fault. Yeah, you
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: cannot possibly make Veronica pay.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: You can't. Judge Gino's gonna make her pay. I'm one
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: hundred percent with you. I'm one hundred percent with you.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Judge Gino says he's smoking crack. I don't know what
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: his problem is. Judge Gino says, you're clearly were harmed
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: and your harm was caused by this disco ball from
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: the balloons. Uh, Miss Harris, you're the professional and they
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: should not have had balloons, but they insisted it's your
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: job to prepare for things like this. The evidence is perplexing.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Mama Balloon, you did admit you tried to surprise her,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: and I find that you're responsible. Or her for her accidents,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: but not the only one responsible for her accident. Miss Harris,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: you're the backstop of safety, and you didn't stop this.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Mama Balloon twenty five percent responsible, Veronica seventy five percent responsible.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: She's giving You're saying, Olivia one hundred and eighty seven
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars five hundred dollars. It's the worst ruling in
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: the history of personal injury court. Gino has lost his
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: would lose his license. It's unbelievable. When I heard it,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. Mama Balloon showed up with three
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: hundred bulls. Veronica supposed if it's a surprise, How is
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Veronica supposed to know? She didn't you? Could you?
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: You?
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: If I was a wedding planer and this happened to me,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I would be like, I guess I can't wedding plane anymore.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: You decorate, right, you decorate, and then you go, you
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: leave to go do the wedding, and in the in
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: the in the time that you live to wedding, Mama.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Balloon came in and put three three hundred balloons around
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: a disco ball. When is Veronica supposed to catch that?
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: How she's supposed to be the backstup of safety. When
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: it's a surprise, it's terrible. I'm so like I want
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: to contact him and be like, bro, you missed this one. Understatement,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: you missed this one.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know how he I don't know how he
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: can possibly and good good faith say that this is Veronica's.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. The only thing I can figure is Veronica
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: putting any balloons.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Up there made Mama balloon and I don't even remember Olivia.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Olivia feel like balloons are okay. Any amount of balloons is.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: I don't care. If the wedding planner decided I can
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: have the balloons and there aren't enough, nor are they
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: close enough to the disco ball to make a difference.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: I put my stamp on this. You throw three hundred
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: more into the mix.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but if she didn't communicate that, if she didn't communicate,
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: hey we have I can do some balloons.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: I'm here. I'm not coming around it, just you know, but.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: I'm saying, if Veronica didn't communicate, I will do the balloons,
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: but I can only do so many because she didn't
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: communicate that that I could see Mama Balloon being showing
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: up and being like this won't do no, this is
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: not balloon.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring three hundred. That'll that'll fill it out.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: That'll fill it out. Right. That's how we gabbled right there.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe seventy seventy is crazy, Yeah, yeah,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: backbone of safety. All right, we did it. We got
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: two more coming next time, so come on back, will you?
