  Speaker 1: of court cases today? Oh?
• 1:08

• 1:10
  Speaker 2: special with this.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I did so. Uh. This is one. It looks like Okay, guys,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I'm wearing shorts under you promise. But when I was
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: going like this, it looked like, so what happened here
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: is we were sent this case, well we were someone
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: posted on Facebook. Facebook, just a clip of it, and
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I said, I got to track this down. I'm gonna
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: do for the gabble. And that's what I'm gonna do today.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: All right, I'm at Judge Jerry's mercy here with James Hicks,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: who is suing Brooklyn Hardwick for eight hundred smackers.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: James, James Hicks, Hicks, Brooklyn Hardwick, Yes, for eight hundred schomackers.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Okay, schmackers. All right, man.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: So James is seventeen. James is seventeen and met Brooklyn
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: on Facebook.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: As you do. Yes, it's a good place to meet people.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: They met up, they started dating. They then got in
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: a moped accidents. Now what happened here is an suv
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: hit them while they were on a moped. Okay, and
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: they survived and they're like, you know, this is like
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: a big deal together blah blah, blast of sign. And
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: so they ended up you know, celebrating by by you know,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: doing doing some stuff together. Some extracurriculars, doing some stuff,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: and she ended up getting pregnant. Brooklyn did at seventeen,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and James says, this is the girl of my dreams, Brooklyn,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: this is it. So Jerry says, well, okay, so you
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: love her, you have a child together, but you are
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: suing her. Why are you suing her eight hundred schmackers
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: that's right, he says, I'm suing her for two months rents.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: When she got pregnant, we moved into an apartment together.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: We just decided to split everything fifty to fifty. There's
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: no paperwork to say this. But Brooklyn does not disagree.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: She says that this is what the plan was. He says,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the reason why she stopped paying rent is because she
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: says that I cheat it. And he says, quote and
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: again this is a quote. And if there's kids in
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the car, you know this is a quote. Yes, I
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: did text a few other girls, but I never screwed them.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: End quotes a quote. But I did cheat on her
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: when she was pregnant, but I said I was sorry.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: So he did screw somebody.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Yes, But before he says, when she said when she
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: says he cheated, yes, he said, I didn't. He said
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I didn't cheat the way that she said I cheated
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: back then when she was She's.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Wrong about saying I cheated then, but not earlier when
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I did cheat.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: That's exactly right. So he at least is honest about this.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: I want to set the record straight on when I cheated.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Is what this guy says.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: He could have said he never cheated. So some point
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, she says, yes, I stopped paying rent
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: because he was cheating. One night, I'm up in the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: middle of the night and I see his phone lighting up.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I answer it and it is a girl from Wark
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: claiming that they hooked up and he got her pregnant
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: and all this stuff. He speaks up and says, that's
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: a lie, and I swear on my son.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Wow, so which one got.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, yeah, he only has one son.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: So the whole thing is that the other girl said
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: that she was I understand, but that that child doesn't exist.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, to be to be fair, okay, it does only
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: have one son. Okay, great, one child. That is so
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: uh again it you know, he seems like if he cheats,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: he will own up to it. So the fact that
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: he is saying that he didn't do it in this
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: case is interesting.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Thee out the oh.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: And so she says that she did pay rent, but
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: it was never fifty to fifty. She says that she
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: would take about one hundred dollars out of her check
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: because that's all that she could afford. Yeah, so if
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: it's two months rent four dollars, she was supposed to
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: be spending four hundred dollars a month if it's fifty
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: to fifty, but she was only paying one hundred whatever, there's.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: No we don't get it really any there's for work
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: on that's right.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: She's apartment is the Leason ummm, we don't know, okay, great, so.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Whose name is the apartment? Lison.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: She thinks that he's putting all the money, the one
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars that she was paying him, towards hooking up
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: with women. And he says, Judge, Jerry, I work seventy
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: five hours a week making twelve bucks an hour. I
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: don't need her hundred dollars a month to cheat on women.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Jerry says, but you did cheat, and he says, yes,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: but I haven't been with anyone else in the final
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: six months of our relationship.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Wow. The final sixth.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Judge, Jerry says, good for you, bangs his gabble and
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: everyone cheers sarcastically, and he's just like super proud of himself.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: It's a great bent. So Jerry asks James why he's
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: trying to take money from Brooklyn while she's trying to
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: raise their kid. It's a fair question.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: That's a fair question.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: And James says, well, if I had the money, we
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be having to stay at her parents' house. We'd
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: have our own space. So he says, I want the
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: money from her so that I can get us a space,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: To get us a space and put that money back
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: into our side.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Guy with his big seventy five hour a week job.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Okay, he's one hundred dollars short, apparently, h he needs
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: eight hundred dollars.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be would be the difference.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Yes, So, but what he's claiming here is that he
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: wants the money to put into the life of the son.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: So it's cyclical. Yes, the money could be going directly
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: to the kid. Still better, he wants the money so
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: that he can then invest that money and put it
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: put it in the life of the kid. He also says,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: and now I'm homeless seventy five hours a week, and
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: he says, and Jerry says, I thought you were living
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: with her parents. She says, well, he recently sent two
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: pictures of a certain type to my friends, and when
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I found out about this, I kicked him out. He says, recently.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: James says, recently doesn't count. We are broken up, and
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Jerry says, well, actually it does count.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: It does count, and I'm ready to rule. Yeah, he's
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: not getting any money, and his proposal better be turned
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: down immediately.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: But I get the feeling judge Jerry's a wacko, so
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: something else might happen, but no money. Knowing the proposal,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Jerry says, James, you totally changed her life by getting
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: her pregnant. I look at the expenses monthly on what
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: is being spent to raise a baby, and the facts
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: that she's now the one spending the money because you're
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: no longer living there to raise this baby, because you
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: sent pictures of a certain type. That money should go
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: directly towards the baby, not towards you then spending money
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: to put towards the baby. We're gonna cut out the
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: middleman here and just put that money towards the baby.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna dismiss this case, great, James En says,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: can I say one more thing? Jerry says sure. James
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: walks over to Brooklyn, gets down on a knee, and says,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: you're the love of my life. I want to be
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: with you forever, pulls out a ring, to which Brooklyn
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: looks at it for about five seconds, and then shuts
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the box. Everyone cheers turn them down. James then walks
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: away and tries to walk to leave by walking towards
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the door that Jerry enters and exits through the bailif
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: haas to get his attention. This isn't the way you.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: So we get the exit interviews, and the exit interviews,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: James says, I think I could have stayed faithful if
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: we got married. And Brooklyn's exit interview was a lot
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: more sad. She's crying a lot, saying he cheated on
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: her the week after she gave birth, Good God, and
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: that she can't keep doing this to herself. She needs
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: to do what's best for her baby. Blah blah blah.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: So good for Brooklyn, James, you know what's not coming
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: across in this story? I think, James isn't a great
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: dude who clearly is cheating a lot, but he also
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know, he's a seventeen year old kid who
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: doesn't come across as like a monster.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: He comes across as someone.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Who actually does he care about it anymore? He's still seventeen.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: She's eighteen now, wow, so when this's probably all happened
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: when he was sixteen. I I think if someone would
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: come along and like mentor this guy, I think he
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: could be he's actually here if you could come on
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: in j Nope, okay, Like he seems like a kid
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: who wants to try, and I hope that everything works
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: out for them. And I hope and mainly the baby,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: because I you know, I never like to do cases
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: that involve a baby, and so I was a little
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: bummed that it did, which is why we don't do
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Unity Court or yeah, either one, because oftentimes it's it's
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: ichy like that. I don't like doing that. It's not fun.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: But he I felt hopeful that that maybe this is
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: the kick in the pants that he needs to tourney
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: and uh, for the for the sake of the kid,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: they can work together on Thish, Dan, where are you going?
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: I'm back in Mathis's chambers, where I feel most comfortable.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: And let me introduce you to Leandra Lowman. Leandra, Leandra Loman, Hey, THEO.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: What do you think? Good?
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Yep, good talk, just sporading through. Leandrel Loman is suing
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: her ex husband for three thousand and fifty six dollars
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: for unpaid power.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know if theo's toys coming through on the mic. Yeah,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: it's great, it's a squeaker.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Her ex husband, Alexis Edwards, is counter suing for fifteen
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: hundred dollars.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: His name's Alexis.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: His name is Alexis. They call him Alex pretty much
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: the whole time. Leandre Loman suing him for three thousand
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: and fifty six dollars.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: To yo, he's looking him big fun, big fun.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Okay, all right, so Leandrew said, listen, when we met,
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: we were young, twenty three and twenty five, but he
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: still acts like he's twenty five.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: We met, we got married in the same month that
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: we met. We had we got we were married for
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: eight full years, have three kids.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: They met, got married the same same month and stayed
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: married for eight years. Okay, and then I just came
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: to have three kids, three kids, Yes, and I need
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: to let you know.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I believe I don't know what her religion is, but
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: her religion is very important to her. She is wearing
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: a full head covering and that will come into play later.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: I'm just letting you.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Know, possibly figure out how well she's going to complain
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: about things he does. And one of them is about
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: the religion.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: So I came to realize how childish, lazy, irresponsible he is.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: And Judge mass is like, well, how, and she says,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I had to find him jobs. I wrote his resume,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: I filled out the application, I enrolled him in college.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: He never went. Toward the end of our marriage, he
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: decided he wanted to be a rap star. The crowd
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: laughs when she says rap star. When we met, he
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: did some shows as a DJ, but after the kids came,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: there wasn't any more of that. But then he picked
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: it back up, and that was kind of the last
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: straw for me. You're not bringing any money and now
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: you're trying to be a rap star. So Matthews says, sir.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Do you get to hear any of the rap? We don't.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Matthis looks at Alex and says, sir, do you want
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: to defend yourself, and Alex says, your honor, I've always
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: been a rap star. All right, My things are going great, great,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I've always been a rap star.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: People laugh. Sir Mathew says, how would you define star?
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: And he says not by anyone else's definition, you know,
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: like jay Z or something.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: And Mathews says, well, how would you define star? And
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: he says people love the music that I do.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: People love it fair enough, and Matthew says, we don't
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: get to hear any rap.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Matthews says, okay, how many give me an essence?
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: How many people of the number of people that love
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: your music that make you a star?
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Are we talking fifty people? Do fifty love your music?
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: And at this point he says, your honor, I'm only
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: using the word star because she used it first, and
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Matthis quickly points out, no, you specifically said I've always
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: been a rap star, to which he says, I'm more
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: of an EMC. So he backs off and says he's
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: an MC and he says, did she really do all
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: that stuff for you? Fill out the applications, make your resume,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: and he says, I don't recall all of that. It's
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: probably forty nine percent true, So Alex has very interesting
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: thing to say, A nine percent true.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Sure. At this point, Leandrew goes, really, and then Alex says,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I don't have a college education, so I'm not exactly sure.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Matthis then takes this point. Instead of using the joke
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: for what it is, he takes this opportunity to rant
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: about getting kids into college and how that would change everything.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, Leandre said. We both went to the
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: same high school. Alex says.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: When we first met, she had a son by somebody else.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: We were introduced by a mutual friends. It was a setup,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: and when I first saw her, I immediately saw that
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: she was a great mom. This makes Leandra actually smile,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: like you can tell they have some legit chemistry and
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: feelings for each other. We were introduced, I felt like
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: we would make a good couple. She would be a
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: great mom. She was wonderful, Leandre said, And so we did.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: We became a couple when we got married twenty four
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: days later, twenty four days after meeting. All right, so Leandra, so,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Matthews says, how things go. Alex says, ask her, she's
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: the one that wanted a divorce, you know.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Leander said, well he was lazy. Matthews says, I got that.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: What else?
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: She said, well, I needed help in the home. I
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: needed help raising the kids. He did get a job,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: but he would go to work and then we would
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: come home and play video games.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: And she said because of our religion, very important part
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: of our religion is attending And she says the name
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: of the service they attend, and I could not understand it.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Upon several rewindings, I don't know what it is. I
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: think it was nas Gyir. I couldn't get jeer, Yeah,
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: that would be my guest.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Did you google it?
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: I tried.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: The best second figure is maybe like the American Nation
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: of Islam, but I'm not positive on it. So he
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: didn't go, and she and Matthis says you didn't attend service.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: Alex said I didn't attend service enough for her. Apparently
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: she wants them there every Sunday. Leander says, we got divorced.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: He moved out. Okay, so here's the problem. You're like,
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: what does this have to do with the power bill?
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: We get divorced, he moves out of their place.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Two years later, she meets a guy in Georgia and
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: is gonna get remarried and move with the kids to Georgia.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: At this point, they are divorced. They're divorced for two years,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: and they're in Philadelphia. At this point, she knows that
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: he's in tough straits, is renting one room in somebody's house,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: and she says, hey, why don't you come back and
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: live in the place we were living. I'm moving to
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Georgia with the kids, and as long as you take
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: up the expenses and the utilities, it's all good, to
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: which he says, okay, great. We had been in that
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: house together for five years. I had been in there
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: with the kids alone for two years.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Now I'm leaving, so.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: This is just a rental, Yes, a rental. So Alex says, okay,
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: we got divorced. I went and lived with a coworker
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: for two years. She met a man in Georgia. All
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: that's accurate. When I got there, the gas got cut off.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: It got caught off when I got in, and he says,
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: apparently the bill wasn't being paid and so the gas
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: was cut off and I had to pay fifteen hundred
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: dollars cash to turn the gas back on, which I
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: paid to turn it back on. How much fifteen hundred?
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: He said, Now, I did fall behind on the electric
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: bills that she's talking about two hundred and fifty six dollars,
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: But I fell behind because I had to pay fifteen
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: hundred dollars to turn the gas back on, and so
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: I tried my best to keep up for the payment.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: She told me she'd reimburse me for the fifteen hundred.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: She never did, so, matt says, is He counter saying yes,
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: for fifteen hundred. Matthew says, you admit you are the
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: thirty two to fifty six and he says, no, I
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: admit that she told me I owe her to thirty
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: two to fifty six. I've not seen any of the bills,
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: that's what she says, so and she said was he?
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Then he says, was that bill accumulated while you were
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: there or before you got there? And he said, I'm
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: not sure it's possible, but I've not seen the bill
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: didn't come to my house and the mail.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: He says, were you paying for anything during that time?
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: He said, when the bills would come, I was paying
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: as much as I could, but they only came to
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: my house every three months, something's not out at up.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Leandrew's like, so you're saying the electric company is just responsible, irresponsible.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: You're getting bills every month and you know it.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: And he says, well, yeah, that's what I'm saying, the
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: electric companies irresponsible.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: So they go back to the gas bill.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: That's the thing about electric companies is they'd like they're
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: just kind of like, you know whatever. So it well
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: send them when we send them. Then Lee Massis is like,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: let me get this gaspell straight. You showed up and
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: the gas was turned off, and he said, yeah, fifteen
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars and she said she'd.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Pay me back. Leander said, I don't know what you're
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: talking about. Here's the thing. We were on budget billing,
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: and apparently in Philadelphia, if you were on it's kind
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: of like rent control. But if you pay a certain
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: amount every month, that's your set amount, no matter how
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: much gas you use.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, I use that. I have that with Piedmont and
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: so if you take that budget billing and you don't
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: pay it, they make you pay the back bill like.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: All of it at once.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Well also so it's it looks at what you did
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: like last year, and says this is what we guesstimate,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a month. So you do that
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: at the end of the year, you have to settle up.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: So I know what that is.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: But I think this is different. Oh okay, because she said,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: if you.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: Don't pay the budget billing, then you owe everything that
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: is due at one time. Sure, So what she is
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: claiming is is that when he took over, he didn't
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: pay the budget billing and that is why the gas
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: got cut off.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: But he's saying, right when he moved in it, that's
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: what he's saying. We don't have any paperwork either way
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: on this thing. Oh boy, it's a mess. So basically
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: she said, he says, can you prove when the gas
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: was turned off?
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: He says, I can't. She says, can you prove? He
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: says to her, can you prove that all of this
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: money from the electrical that he says you owe him,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: can you prove that that money was while you were
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: gone and he was there? And she says, you're on
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: her own any paperwork. But we were up to date
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: when I left. These are bills that kept accruing because
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: he was gone. He's now got Gavin. Gavin's ready to
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: rule Gavin, come on in, Judge Mathis, I think.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: No, Judge Matthis is ready to rule.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately. Again, guys, this is why if anyone ever assues,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: you bring your papering literally anything. That's kind of my
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: my thought process here is even if the paperwork doesn't
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: even really match, like just coming with something helps. Yeah,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: bring something. So both of these cases are going to
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: get thrown out because nobody has anything to prove anything
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: about anybody.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Matthis gives her the money.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: And the reason that Matthis gives her the money, I
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: think is because he just thinks that the dude has
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: not done what he's supposed to do. But his reasoning is, Sir,
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: you can't prove that the gas was cut off because
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: of her. You don't have any paperwork.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: You do admit that these power bills were not paid
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: while you were there, and so I'm going to ruin
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: her favor, that is what So because he has a
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: history of not paying the.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: Basically, but also he admits that he didn't pay the
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: electric bill over and over again, and he said it's
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: because he never got the bills, is what he says.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: And so that's enough for Matthis to give her the money.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, there you had iba because she's taking care of
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: the kids. That would be my guess.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, is he paying any child sport? Yeah? No, I
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: have no idea, no idea, we didn't have make Congratulations.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: We're all caught up. We're gonna be back next time
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: with another one. Until then, all right.
