keep calling the police on your neighbor for parking in front of your house and
0:17
going over your kurk, are you in ton of the money? Or is
0:20
Judge math is going to tell you to get off his lawn? And if
0:23
all you've ever wanted your entire life is a gold chain and you finally get
0:27
one, but then you break up, do you have to give it back?

Thank Justice, this is well. Hello everybody in the chambers. This is

of Bramble Jam plus for a few years now, Yes, and we thought
1:03
twenty twenty four would be a good year to get back open. I think

1:14
That's right and it's time now to bring it back. So today here
1:18

1:26

1:30

1:49
trickling amount that's right to the massive because here's the thing, Justice, It's
1:55
say, it's the it's the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Men,
1:57
it depends on the courtroom. Really. That's so it's ever green, though,
2:01
is what we're saying. These cases are good good, that's exactly right.
2:07
So we are excited h to relaunch this show for the new generation of
2:13
gavel heads sweep in the nation. That's exactly so head over to switch generations.
2:20
Yes, two years and three years ago, I don't think we were
2:22
ready. I don't think generation the old the old guard. Yes, these
2:27
are the new this is the new generation of gabbl heads. Yes, we
2:30
couldn't make that any clear. That's exactly right. We had two cases for
2:34
you. Tell me I've watched one, Dan's watched one, right to explain
2:38
them to each other and try to guess the outcome just by hearing. We're
2:43
gonna put on our our ropes as if you're watching on Filo TV on TV,
2:49
if you're watching today on Filo TV. Yeah, this is in the
2:52
deck to homework feed. I forgot. Of course I have judged Jerry,
2:58
you have, I got judge mathis old stand by. I'll flop. I'll
3:01
flip the coin. That's you. I'm gonna go first. Yeah, yeah,
3:07
it was me the whole way. I called it. Randy Davis,
3:10
Randy Davis, see how I'm not too good for that. I clap along.
3:15
Randy Davis is suing James Weirda. Weird Weirda. Let's go with Weirda.
3:23
He's a very old white gentleman in a suit, and that feels as
3:27
though like he's mad. He has to be there suing him for two thousand
3:30
and thirty two dollars. James Weirda is countersuing for fifteen hundred dollars in emotional
3:36
distress. Now and find out later. James only goes by Jim. So
3:39
if I say Jim later on, that's who James is. H Randy Uh
3:45
is like, Hey, I've lived in this house, UH, basically my
3:49
whole life. And it used to be my dad's house, and then my
3:52
dad got older, and then I got the house in twenty ten, and
3:57
my dad has since actually moved back in with me because he's and he's moved
4:00
back in with me. He moved off for a while and he moved back
4:03
in. Well, we've had the same neighbor, Jim, for as long
4:06
as other gym lived there. In twenty ten, I got a phone call,
4:11
separated by a fence that he gives some us stage advice. Right now,
4:15
I don't know if stage advice is happening. Drunk lawnmowing is probably happening.
4:18
In twenty ten, I get a call saying that Jim had to run
4:21
his lawnmower into my fence while intoxicated. I got that phone call and listen,
4:27
and we have all been there. I came back, I came home,
4:30
the fence was broken. I had to fix the fence. I didn't
4:32
charge Jim for it. Well, for the last ten years he's called the
4:36
police on me for noise complaints and code violations over and over and over again.
4:41
Code violation is like, what kind of what are you talking about?
4:44
What's happening? He's like, well, when I repaired the fence that he
4:47
broke, I didn't get a permit for it, and apparently you're supposed to
4:50
do that. He called the police. Hold on, So Randy fixes the
4:55
fence that Jim broke. That's right. Jim claims he doesn't had any break,
5:00
didn't charge him for it. And then and Jim as the Gulf called
5:03
the assessor to get a he didn't have a permit. Pull yeah, he
5:08
coen. If you're repairing a fence you've already had up. It depends on
5:12
the city in the neighborhood. I don't think that would be the case.
5:15
Oh actually I think it is true in city of Greenville. City of Greenville
5:18
was crazy with their permit, their permit crazy. I don't. I don't.
5:21
I didn't have to get a permanent on my fence. Which fence?
5:25
Oh you didn't that, I know, I mean the company did. They
5:30
called someone to come out and spray then, so maybe it wasn't. I
5:32
don't know. It doesn't matter. Back to it, he said he when
5:34
I had my driveway resealed, I had to park on the street. Well,
5:38
he would call whenever I was parking in front of my Uh I've had
5:43
that neighbor. Yeah, yeah, he always looked at you. Yeah,
5:46
he always calls me junior because my dad calls me junior. My dad is
5:49
Randy Davis Senior and uh and and and he would always tell me my car
5:55
was parked in a place to where if my lawnmower hits it, the damage
5:59
is actually your or fault because your car's parked in front of my house or
6:02
or whatever. To be clear, you can't you can't sue someone for calling
6:06
you junior, right, I can't. But he just was trying to say
6:09
he's being belittled. He and he's just such a terrible driver a Lawnmore so,
6:13
how old is Randy. Randy's like probably in between ie ages. He's
6:16
probably like thirty eight thirty seven, and Jim's probably like double that. Jim
6:20
is definitely in his seventies. Old dude, he's there and he's like,
6:25
well, I moved in over a decade ago, and there's just been little
6:29
disputes. I've never damaged his property at all. That lawnmar accent never happened,
6:34
didn't It just didn't happen. Didn't happen. Math Is like, rainy
6:39
got any proof? And Randy's like, I have a statement from my father
6:41
who says the accident did happen. He in a statement. Jim's like,
6:45
not true, just didn't happen. And Maths is like, so this guy's
6:47
dad just made this up in court. And Jim's like, basically, he's
6:53
mad because he's been driving across my lawn to get to his lawn. That's
6:56
where this all started. And Randy's like, I don't know what this guy's
6:59
talking about. He goes, he claims the front of the property is a
7:02
curb, but it's not. It's my driveway, and he goes over that
7:08
curb to get into his driveway every time that he goes and parks in his
7:13
driveway, and Mathis is like what He's like, Yeah, he says it's
7:16
the curb in between our driveways, but it's my driveway. His dude's very
7:20
old. Sorry, Randy's driving over a curb every time he pulls into his
7:26
drive I think in between the two driveways, you know how my driveway is
7:29
not with you, but the other neighbor. You know, there's that strip
7:30
of like grass. What if that was just a little bit of a woof?
7:33
I see, I think that's what he's talking. He's old. He's
7:38
clearly like upset. He's suit for that. I don't. He's not su
7:43
Remember, he's suing h But Jim doesn't have a counter seit. Jim is
7:46
counter seing for emotional distress fifteen. So he makes him sad. When he
7:50
goes over his curb. Mathis is like, okay, so you've called this.
7:55
He goes on and off. I've called the city. They've given him
7:58
citations. He goes, I have citations for him driving on my lawn.
8:03
He hands in these papers. Mathis reads the papers and he's like, uh,
8:07
cirta, none of these papers have anything about him driving on your lawn.
8:11
I need a citation that shows what are those You're a parking violation for
8:16
parking in front of his house or something. And he's like, let's just
8:20
move on. Let's just go on. Like he's like, did you damage
8:24
his fence? He's like, no, I didn't damage his fence. He's
8:26
like, well, what has he done to you? Like, uh,
8:30
like, did he damage? Did he damage? And he's well, he
8:33
damaged my lawn. Randy damaged my lawn. He's like, let me see
8:35
the pictures. And Matthis is like, well this picture your lawn looks perfect.
8:41
He's like, oh, I gave you the wrong picture. He hands
8:43
them a different picture. He goes, sir, your lawn is immaculate.
8:46
There's nothing, and we see the picture. The lawn is pristine, it's
8:50
perfect. He's like, what are you talking? Like, what are what
8:54
is it you're talking about? And he goes, well, it's really hard
8:56
to see, but if you look closely, you can see tire in my
9:00
grass. And Mathis is like, no, no, can we justus live?
9:03
Can we just live? Jim? What if this this old guy's also
9:07
racist? I'm glad you asked. We go back to Randy and he's like,
9:11
oh, is Randy a person of color? Uh no, they're both
9:13
white. Okay, but just wait for it. Okay. He's like,
9:16
so also not. He goes, so, what are you suing for?
9:20
He goes, you'resuing for two thousand and three thirty two dollars. It seems
9:22
like Jim has the problem with you. He goes, well, Jim has
9:26
his own personal weed killer that he calls Asian Orange instead of Agent Orange.
9:33
He calls it Asian Orange. But why, I don't know why Agent orange
9:39
was used in Vietnam. I don't know if Jim served. I don't know
9:43
what it is. He calls his weed killer Asian Orange, and Randy's like,
9:46
you're on her. I don't know what in is in this, but
9:48
it's definitely not legal. And he sprayed it and it literally killed the grass
9:54
on the other side of my fence. And he brings these pictures and the
9:56
like foot outside of his his fence is just dirt. He's like, it
10:01
killed all of this. Now, Jim says, that's his property. But
10:05
I also went this thirty eight year old goes, I also went to the
10:09
land surveyor in the town to give the property line. And my property the
10:15
line runs off two and a half feet past the fence. That is my
10:18
property. Here's the proof, so mass just like and then on the bottom
10:24
of the fence line, the fence color is different. He goes, he
10:28
sprayed all that stuff. It got all over the fence. The stain won't
10:31
hold. It's retaining water. So now I got a Matt bad fence and
10:35
I got a messed up yard. Mass Is like, Jim, did you
10:39
spray? You spray? He goes, just round up. I only spray
10:43
round up. I don't know what he's talking about. I just spray round
10:46
up. I don't know. That's a lie. I don't know what he's
10:50
talking about. Lawnmower, this Asian orange stuff like, I just spray round
10:54
up. That's it. And his dad used to spray round up, and
10:56
that's normal. That's a normal thing that we do here. The only thing
11:00
what ever, spray was round up. And in the nine years I've lived
11:01
here, his father has routinely been in the backyard spraying round up too.
11:05
That's not me. I didn't do that. Maths Is like, what about
11:09
the damage to the lawn. That's always been there. Jim goes, yeah,
11:11
that's always been there. His loans always looks like dirt around the fence.
11:15
It's always been there. Oh man. And Mathis goes, sir,
11:20
why do you think he's here? Why do you think he's gone through all
11:22
this trouble? And he goes, he's suing me because he's mad that I
11:28
called and got him tickets for parking in front of my house. It's illegal
11:31
to park there. He got a violation. He's mad, and so he's
11:35
made this stuff up to bring me to court to sue me. Pretty good
11:39
defense. He's mad, Pretty good defense. And Maths is like, okay,
11:43
what's your counterclaim. He's like, well, I have fifteen hundred dollars
11:46
emotional distress because he's constantly arguing with me and driving over my lawn and parking
11:50
in front of my curb. Mathis is like, well, I'm throwing that
11:54
out immediately. Let's get back to the twenty thirty two. He's like,
11:58
Raindy, where did you get two reach dollars from? He goes, I
12:01
have an estimate of what the repairs are gonna cost for the fence in the
12:03
lawn, hands him the estimate, and Mathis then turns to Jim and goes,
12:07
I understand you're mad. I understand he You think he's mad, and
12:11
he clearly is about getting tickets and getting called on for noise ordinances and parking
12:16
in front of your house. I understand that, But do you mean to
12:18
tell me this man, because he was mad at you, had estimates written
12:20
up for his yard, went to land surveyors and got property lines took pictures
12:28
just to get back at you for two thousand dollars, and Jim says yes,
12:33
sir, wow, and Mathis is ready to rule. Ah man,
12:37
that's tough. I'm trying. So the the evidence that Randy has brought is
12:46
the pictures of his grass getting messed up by this discoloration. Yard is messed
12:52
up. No grass is growing, and a property a thing that shows that
12:56
that is his property. Yeah, that's tough. That's tough. I mean
13:00
the problem is is there's no actual proof of him spraying the agent orange Asian
13:07
orange as he calls it, on his property. It's part of the court
13:11
case. You can say Asian orange. Okay, I'm not going to.
13:13
I'm gonna choose not to because it feels like a trick. So I think
13:20
it's tough because to make you say asian or yes. I think I don't
13:26
think anybody is gonna get any money. And I think Mathis might just be
13:31
like, hey, Jim, just chill, Like, just chill. It
13:35
does not matter. Doesn't matter if someone parks in front of your house every
13:39
once in a while, Like it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.
13:43
So just like, try to be a good neighbor, Like, let's
13:45
just try to be good neighbors. We can start the thrush right here and
13:48
we can go from there. But I'm gonna say, no one's getting any
13:50
money. You're wrong. I love matthis, He's my favorite for this reason.
13:54
He just doesn't deal any bs. He just looked at Jim and he
13:56
goes, I just don't believe you, sir. I think you're lying,
13:58
and I'm in a judgment. I'm going to judge for in favor of the
14:01
plane. If two thousand and thirty two dollars you need to pay him his
14:03
money? Well there you go. Yeah, I mean can you do that
14:07
though? Can you just think you just think that someone's lying? I mean,
14:13
one dude went to a land surveyor how long would it take you to
14:16
find a land? Get him out to your property? Like you put in
14:20
a lot of legwork to make two thousand dollars. Yeah, I mean,
14:24
if your time is money, you spent more than two thousand on that.
14:26
Should we take a break. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back
14:30
and we'll go to judge Jerry here on Yo, welcome back to a special
14:41
We're back edition. It's right where I order to judge Jerry rest in peace
14:46
obviously obviously almost always forget that he's dead. It's just kind of like I
14:52
forget it and then I remember and I have to warn all over again.
14:54
That's a weird thing. He was kind of the worst Jerry Springer, I
15:00
think. Yeah, everyone's in a while. Every once in a while a
15:05
Jerry Springer show clip shows up on my news feed. It was tough time.
15:09
It was a tough time, tough time where you just you know,
15:11
like fat shame people and like people would cheer for it. They loved it.
15:15
Oh man. Yeah, anyway, he had a court show right here,
15:20
This is exactly right. Luis Surry is suing Frank scar Furry. I'll
15:28
have to take your word for it. Here forty big money for gold chain,
15:39
a lamp, some other random stuff. Gold chain though, yes,
15:43
gold chain, real deal, real deal. Frank is counter suing for twenty
15:48
five seventy for a cushion, a tackle box, a cushion singular. A
15:56
cushion, Okay, I'm Arthur Stewart cushion okay, well yeah, a tackle
16:00
box and engagement ring. Okay, there it is, That's what I was
16:03
looking Forty seven hundred twenty four hundred, twenty five hundred forty seven hundred,
16:07
twenty five seventy twenty five seventy got. Louise swaks in with the Martha Stewart
16:14
cushion and tackle box and she lays it in the middle of the courtroom.
16:18
Louise, Okay, and I guess that's just you know what she's decided to
16:25
do here. Man, How cool would court cases be if the thing you're
16:27
arguing over had to be president? It's pretty good. That's pretty good.
16:30
That's a idea. So Louise explains that Louise and Frank were engaged for seventeen
16:37
years. Wow, they were engaged, Not that is they know each other
16:44
for seventeen years. They have been engaged for seventeen years. And isn't that
16:48
just common uh common law marriage? COmON law marriage. Yes, she explains
16:52
it. Over the past seventeen years, she's done everything for Frank. She
16:57
has spent so much money on Frank over the years, as you do when
17:02
you love somebody, Sometimes you spend money on each other. Sometimes you spend
17:06
money to get your loved one's car out of the impound lot. Sometimes you
17:11
go to the hospital when he's had surgery and you feed them ice chips.
17:15
Sometimes you're there for your loved one after their mom dies. Why did they
17:18
never get married? Do we get to that? We do get to it,
17:22
and she explains that after his mom died a few years ago, he
17:26
became emotionally, financially and physically abusive. And she says, if I have
17:33
to, I'll show the evidence. If you're in a corpse, I know,
17:37
But she doesn't want to embarrass them, is what she said. We're
17:38
going to get to see the evidence. No, not gonna get to see
17:41
that. So she explains that she went on a girl's trip. We love,
17:48
we love that, go on the girls. We love a girl's trip.
17:52
We love a boy's trip, boys trip. When she came back,
17:57
he was very nasty and like mean, like, I mean, I think
18:03
you've take it a shower. I don't know. As far as I know,
18:07
it was just being rude and accuses her of cheating on him on this
18:15
trip with a seventy five year old. She's sixty seven, Frank says,
18:22
Louise, She's like, I would never like a seventy five year old like
18:26
like that. Yeah, so old, And Frank is like, Louise,
18:29
you already have one foot in the grave. Of course you're sleeping with a
18:32
seventy five year old. Wow, God, she is not taking that well.
18:37
One day, Louise gets a text from a friend showing that Frank is
18:45
on Facebook Dating. I didn't know what existed, and that didn't know what
18:49
existed Facebook Dating. She says that she cleanses Facebook Dating does exist, all
18:57
right, not your go to Aaron. It's my least favorite of all the
19:03
dating sites. Yeah, well probably because it's filled with Frank's and Louis's out.
19:07
Yeah, it's people who couldn't find dates on other sites and yeah,
19:11
just there. So we see his dating profile and apparently he claimed to her
19:18
that he was hacks, that it was someone made this profile. It was
19:22
a hit. She then shows a text from a woman that she claims he
19:30
went to go meet up with. She calls this woman, what what was
19:34
it? The media? How do you say it? Aminieville horror, Amiteville
19:40
horror? Ho is what she calls her, Amityville horror. Ho. Yes,
19:45
I think she's located there. I don't know, but she keeps saying
19:49
that over and over again. Then she caught him sleeping with quote unquote a
19:56
bar ho oh yeah, run of the mill. And so Jerry is like,
20:00
Okay, you have told us that he is sometimes rude and that he
20:07
cheats. What are you suing for? Yeah, and she says, I'm
20:11
suing for the stuff that I have given him over the years, including the
20:18
gold chain. Yeah, Frank's turned to talk. Frank says, the first
20:23
time I met her, I knew I wanted to marry her. She claimed
20:26
that she was forty. Turns out she was forty seven. She says,
20:30
I said I was in my forties of course. Of course. He says.
20:36
Every few years they would get close to getting married and she would say,
20:42
I'm not ready yet, and he was, And he says, all
20:47
I wanted was to get married and to have one more kid. She knew
20:52
that, and she kept pushing things back. Yeah, well she's in her
20:56
I mean she's forty seven. She's now in her sixties. Yeah, well
20:59
she has like late late's, early sixties or something, got it. And
21:03
so one night at a club. They go to the club, so you
21:07
can find them in the club. So they're just like different than me,
21:11
Like when I'm in my fifties, sixties, thirties, I'm not going to
21:17
the club, But I just live differently than they do. When I at
21:21
the club, a guy came up and was like hey, like like he
21:26
knew her. And she runs to the bathroom, runs away, and he's
21:30
like, I knew right then and there she's been cheating on me. She's
21:33
embarrassed, she's been cheating on me. She's like, this never happened,
21:36
never happened, very interesting voice, you're doing, thank you? And he
21:41
is like, she is suing me for this gold chain. She got me
21:48
this gold chain for my fiftieth birthday. She knew I always wanted a gold
21:52
chain. She got me the gold chain for my birthday. Wild if you
21:57
think that, you think she just wanted the money instead of the chain.
22:03
Isn't she just suing for the money? The money so he gets to keep
22:07
the gold chain, right in theory, I guess he could give it back,
22:10
but I don't know. She says, yes, I did buy the
22:15
chain for him, but it was a conditional gift. I told him,
22:19
you'll get this gold chain when you stop drinking. Oh he never stopped drinking,
22:26
and he just took the chain. He stole the chain. Take it.
22:30
He's like, that's not true. She gave it to me. On
22:33
my birthday. She knew I always wanted a gold chain. It was a
22:34
great fiftieth birthday gift, which note to self, on your fiftieth, I'm
22:42
going to give you single solitary gold. I'm going to give you a gold
22:45
chain for your birth by Black T Shirt. And you'll look. It's gonna
22:49
pop, You'll look awesome. Frank then goes to the stuff on the floor.
22:55
You remember that, the stuff on the floor Annie, And uh,
22:59
He's like, this is some of the stuff that I'm suing for. If
23:02
you look here, this cushion the top of it's clearly new, and I'll
23:06
explain to you why it's new. She took a knife to my Martha Stewart
23:11
cushions went down, good stuffing everywhere. Boy, if she doesn't still care
23:18
for me, why did she get it reupholstered. So stupid? So in
23:25
short, stupid if you if you don't mind. In short, she is
23:30
suing for the gold chain, a lamp, some other random stuff. Engagement.
23:37
He is suing for an engagement ring that she claims he stole back from
23:44
her when they broke up and ponded it. That's where it is. Because
23:48
she's like, I don't have this ring anymore. He's like, you have
23:51
to have the ring, and she's like, no, you you took it
23:52
any pond it. He's ready to roll. So I don't know. Jerry
23:57
does his own thing. He's not even in a court of law. He's
24:00
just doing Jerry. We know that an engagement ring is the only conditional gift.
24:06
We know that, right, Yeah, Like it's a gift that you
24:10
have to be returned if you don't get married, right, isn't that the
24:14
rule? We we haven't gaveled something like that. Is the reverse of that
24:17
where they get to keep it regardless. I'm pretty sure it's the only conditional
24:19
gift. I think nobody's getting anything. I think everybody's just gonna keep their
24:26
stuff and they need to not talk to each other anymore. That's what I
24:27
think. Ummm, no, not necessarily now, he Jerry explains, there's
24:34
no proof that you said that the chain was conditional, and there's no proof
24:38
that that you have the ring basically, or that you don't or whatever.
24:45
Basically, those two things are gonna cancel each other out, he says,
24:49
As you can see, she gave you back your tackle box, and you're
24:52
Martha Stewart cushion, what more, Yeah, you can't. So you have
24:56
that back. You have to pay for the other stuff, the lamp,
25:03
other thing. It's twelve hundred dollars. Okay, she's gonna get twel hundred
25:04
dollars. So that's now. She says, uh, quit being so despicable
25:14
to Frank. Frank says, quit being such a hoe. They fight,
25:19
They're just like she gets it. She's like no, She's like, what
25:23
you call me with? And he's like, I just want to get out
25:26
of here. How do I get out of here? No one is helping
25:30
him get out of the courtroom, and she's just like, you're just you're
25:33
just you're a disgrace to America. She's at one point America, and he's
25:37
like, can someone help me get out of here? Never do see him
25:41
exit the courtroom? Wow, just this day and that is that's how he
25:45
