3
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 2: and water.

4
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 3: They never mix.

5
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 2: When you have a dispute that needs settling once and

6
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:27,280

Speaker 1: in financial compensation for podcast equipment he believes he should

11
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:44,879

00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 4: my former friends and current co host Mitch Churry had

17
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 4: ripped me off. A near and dear friend, He's ripped

18
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:03,440

25
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 6: and my family's honor. I believe I've been defamed. I've

26
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 6: been dragged here today over what I thought was a

27
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 6: simple transaction with a good friend that has turned very sour.

28
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 4: I've known the other Mitch since twenty seventeen. I met

29
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 4: him when I started working at the same radio station

30
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 4: he was already working at.

31
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,279
Speaker 6: Mitch and I have been friends for goodness me five six,

32
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 6: last seven years now, a long time, and I consider

33
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 6: him one of my best friends. But maybe not for

34
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 6: much longer.

35
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 4: There's been a lot of tension behind the scenes of

36
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 4: our podcast, but we're finally ready to put this to bed.

37
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 2: Okay, So we've got the two Mitches here, Mitch Kumbs

38
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: and Mitch Churi. So I'm going to start with Mitch

39
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: Kombs because it's your application today.

40
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,040

00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 3: No, it is interesting.

45
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 6: You are interesting.

46
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll ignite you to speak. You can stop there,

47
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 3: thank you.

48
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 6: No, sorry, I didn't be you.

49
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: I'm going to refer to you both by your surname.

50
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 2: So I'm going to ask Coombs if you can just

51
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 2: tell me a bit about your relationship. So are you friends?

52
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,399
Speaker 2: Do you work together? How long have you known each other?

53
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 3: Well?

54
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 4: Both, we've known each other for quite a few years now,

55
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 4: I think it was twenty seventeen. We started working together.

56
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 4: We were colleagues and then became very close friends. And then,

57
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 4: like all friends, we thought, God, our conversations deserve to

58
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 4: be recorded and broadcast. So we started the podcast as

59
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 4: a couple of mitches and it's been a good few

60
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 4: years now, running strong and very minimal fights in that time.

61
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 3: So your podcast is about wash.

62
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 5: Well, it's called Is It Just Me? That's the name

63
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 5: of the podcast.

64
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 6: Okay, I wanted the name to be Mitch please, like

65
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 6: bitch please, but Mitch please, but Mitch wanted is It

66
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 6: Just Me?

67
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 4: And so it's every week we get together and debrief

68
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 4: something we've noticed, hate or appreciate.

69
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 5: It's a bit of improv bit of fun.

70
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 3: All right.

71
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 2: So I'm going to come to you, mister Tury fantastic,

72
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: tell me about because I can see the burning desire

73
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 2: to say something.

74
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 6: No, no, I just know it's just because I've seen

75
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 6: the GW.

76
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: Stop mister Cury, okay, so I no stop. I'm just

77
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 2: going to ask you some questions and if you can

78
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: just answer, okay, don't one word, answer, just concisely as

79
00:03:58,720 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: you can, that would be got.

80
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 3: Okay.

81
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: So you've known mister Coombe since about twenty seventeen.

82
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 3: You've heard what he said. Do you agree with all that?

83
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 6: Yes?

84
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 3: Correct.

85
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 6: We met on his birthday actually, and I had already

86
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 6: worked at the radio station since twenty fifteen, so I

87
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 6: extended the olive branch. I think I probably wanted to

88
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 6: maybe get with him at the start, maybe take him

89
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 6: on a dinner or something, but he quite quickly you've

90
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 6: seen his personality. It didn't work. We didn't click in

91
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 6: that respect, so it was strictly platonic straight away. But

92
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,799
Speaker 6: we met on his birthday. Then the podcast was born,

93
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 6: you know, two years later.

94
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 2: Fantastic all right, So you actually there was an attraction there,

95
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 2: but it didn't.

96
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 6: Get Yes, I found Mitchell Kuhmb circa twenty seventeen attractive,

97
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 6: and I'm not afraid to say it.

98
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 2: There you go, there's a compliment for you. So I've

99
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 2: got an application here from mister Coombs he wants an

100
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: amount that he paid you for a road cast paid

101
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 2: back to him. So I'm just going to ask you

102
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 2: some questions about this road cast. So, yes, you were

103
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: given a road caster for free during lockdown?

104
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 3: Is that right?

105
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 6: Yeah? Correct?

106
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 3: So tell me that story. Yeah, yes, So I host.

107
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 6: I still host the same show, the night show, and

108
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 6: that show during COVID had to go from home, so

109
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 6: I had to record the show from my broom. Closs

110
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 6: and the good people at road It's an Australian brand.

111
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 6: They sent me a road caster, which is like a

112
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 6: little mini radio. Yeah, here it is. It's right in

00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 6: in a radio studio you'll know, or a podcast studio.

117
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,279

00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 6: large Domino's pizza just going off, you know what I know.

119
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 6: And you can control the microphone levels, you can put

120
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 6: calls through it, sound effect, you can make wacky sounds.

121
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 6: You have a lot of fun with it. Gena action

Speaker 2: you to return that to them at any stage.

138
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:18,320

139
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: It was gifted, okay, and then you purchased something else

140
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 2: to do.

153
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 2: you said that that mister Combs could buy it for

154
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 2: a cheaper price.

155
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:58,320

00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 6: And then Mitchell goes, oh, you had an old one,

161
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 6: and I said, yeah, I've got an old one. I'm

162
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 6: actually selling it. He and I I'd love to get one.

163
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 6: I'm in the market for a road caster myself. And

164
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 6: then I said, well fantastic. You know, if you want one,

165
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 6: I'm not using it, and he said great, I'll have it.

166
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 6: I went awesome, we'll pack it up and we'll get

167
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 6: it to you, and off he took with his new

168
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 6: road caster, and.

169
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 3: He didn't talk price.

170
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 6: Well, I believe price was mentioned. It's very rude to

171
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 6: sort of throw around price straight away. I think I

172
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 6: said something along the lines of we'll chat details. I'll

173
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 6: text you about detail. We'll talk the road caster detail.

174
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 6: We're very close, you see, so we'll talk cash. I

175
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 6: think I could have said later.

176
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 3: I'm going to go to mister Coombs now, I think,

177
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 3: do you say happened?

178
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 4: I don't even know where to start when it comes

179
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 4: to unpacking the FIBs.

180
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 5: I've been nowhere.

181
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 4: Okay, So firstly, it all came about via a phone call.

182
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 4: We were on the phone for some reason and you

183
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 4: just mentioned, oh my god, I just got sent the

184
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 4: new road cast of the road Caster pro to the upgrade,

185
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 4: and he was gloating about that it was a freebein.

186
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 5: I was like, oh wait, so can I have your

187
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 5: old one? And he's like yeah, yeah.

188
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 3: And did he did you know that it was for saving?

189
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 5: There was no mention of that until after it was

190
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 5: in my possession.

191
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: Did you know that he had it advertised and that

192
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 2: he'd had on the market for a week, and that.

193
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 4: In fact that I would challenge him to present screenshots

194
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 4: of the ad because I'm not sure that they it

195
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 4: ever went on Marketplace or gum Tree, whatever it was.

196
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 2: Did you know that he'd been asking for one thousand dollars?

197
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 5: I had no idea.

198
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 3: No, there was no When did you find that out?

199
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 3: When did you find out.

200
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 5: After the fact after I already had it?

201
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 3: When is how long?

202
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 4: When when he got it to me? That was a

203
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 4: week or so after this phone call? So one week

204
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 4: later he delivered it probably, and it was we were

205
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 4: at my I have for delivery. We were recording an interview.

206
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 2: Did he say anything when he delivered it.

207
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 6: No.

208
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 4: He brought it in a box and said here, because

209
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 4: we're doing a recording.

210
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 2: I want to know the words he used when he

211
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 2: gave you the box.

212
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 5: Well, the words were essentially, here you go.

213
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 4: I'll just leave this at your house when we're done

214
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 4: with it, because I've got one back at home, right.

215
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 3: And did that later conversation happen?

216
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 6: I bump him maybe a week later because I hadn't

217
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 6: received cash, So I just said, you.

218
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 3: Have received cash. You haven't told him what the cash's later? Later?

219
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 3: This is a week later.

220
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 6: Now if more, it was expecting him, as a good

221
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 6: close friend of mine and someone that I could have

222
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 6: potentially once slept with, to have offered out and gone Hi, Mitchell,

223
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 6: thanks for the road caster. What are you for that

224
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 6: old friend? When in fact radio silence. So then I said, look,

225
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 6: I'd like eight hundred dollars for it. I'm selling it

226
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 6: for a thousand. You've got my account details because we've

227
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 6: had dinner together. Just transfer me eight hundred bucks and

228
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 6: I'd prefer cash, is what I said, because I wanted

229
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 6: it to be off the books. Off the books, yeh

230
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 6: l Chapo style.

231
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 2: I'll caution you, as a judge would that anything you

232
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 2: say may be used against you, and so I will

233
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 2: caution you.

234
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 3: That you need to say nothing further.

235
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 2: Thank you terms of that, and I won't be asking

236
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 2: you any and if you are asked any questions, you're

237
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 2: not compelled to answer them.

238
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 6: Oh I would have liked to have known that. Show

239
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 6: you there, Thank you judge.

240
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 2: All right, So you want a d eight hundred dollars

241
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 2: for the for the road casting pastor that's heavily discounted.

242
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 3: Is it two hundred dollars? Okay?

243
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 2: But you didn't ask him for money, so you gave

244
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 2: it to him. He took possession of it and there

245
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 2: was no discussion of money.

246
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 6: Well, how dare he assume that it was a free gift.

247
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't want to get routy here, but

248
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 6: the men he assumed it was free.

249
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 3: Well you didn't tell him otherwise.

250
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 6: I can't recall what the wording was, but I'm a

251
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 6: very it's not your time. I can't was it's not

252
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 6: your time because I said it's for sale. I said, yes,

253
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 6: it's for sale. If you would like to purchase it,

254
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 6: is what I said, Then we can organize a deal.

255
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 6: Judge in it. Can I make one other edition? If

256
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 6: I could, you'd assume, being a good friend, Mitch would

257
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,599
Speaker 6: just transfer me the money. Of course I have for

258
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 6: some quips, you know, with that lizard tongue of his. However,

259
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 6: he asked me to formulate an invoice and then forward

260
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 6: it to him so he could make it a tax

261
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,599
Speaker 6: deductible purchase and or you know what I want. I

262
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 6: wanted to do with the money. I won't repeat that,

263
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 6: but I had to then formulate it.

264
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 2: Not everybody is wanting to evade tax, you see.

265
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 3: That's the issue here, I think.

266
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I would suggest that if mister Coombs is

267
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 2: in the business of podcast and radio, that something is

268
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 2: that he purchases could be a tax deduction. Correct, So

269
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 2: I would suggest that's a very fair and valid request

270
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: to have a tax invoice. But My question is the

271
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 2: tax invoice was for eight hundred dollars and did you

272
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 2: pay it?

273
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 5: And when I did pay.

274
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 4: It, which I was, I did ask him to do

275
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 4: the invoice. I was kind of relying on his lazy

276
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 4: and it's thinking you'd never get around to it.

277
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 3: But much to my suppose buying time, I was, you know, I.

278
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 6: Had to watch a YouTube tutorial and what nobody made

279
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 6: the invoice? Zero zero zero two? Like I just make

280
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 6: it up as I go to be honest.

281
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, well, I'm sure you're not selling many of

282
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 2: these things and they it's probably a one one invoice

283
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 2: in your whole lifetime.

284
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 6: Correct, Yes, yes, you're.

285
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 2: Right right, So you've got your eight hundred dollars you

286
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 2: paid that? When did you pay that, mister Koombs. I

287
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 2: can't remember exactly when that one was later a month later,

288
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 2: two days, it was late. I reckon it would have

289
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 2: been about a month later, because you got me the

290
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 2: invoice eventually, and I.

291
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 6: Remember not putting food on the table for my family

292
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 6: that so it would be late.

293
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you couldn't put food on the table for your family,

294
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 2: so you just you were.

295
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 6: I'm believing, Yeah, I was. I needed that money.

296
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 5: Thant even a due date on the invoice.

297
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 3: Okay?

298
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 2: And then so when was the first mentioned to you

299
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 2: of money that.

300
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,839
Speaker 4: Came after the fact I got a text that said, oh,

301
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 4: can you just.

302
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 3: I want to know when? When? When did you get

303
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 3: a text?

304
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 6: His sweating, judge, sweating on the brow?

305
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 5: I really sweating, judge, he's lying as usual.

306
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 6: Now that's an aspersion.

307
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 5: Why are you allowed to speak when I'm talking? I

308
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 5: had to shut my mouth.

309
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going to stop you both there, So go on.

310
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 2: I want to know about when you first got the

311
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 2: mention of a text and money.

312
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 4: It was very soon after he left. It might have

313
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 4: been that afternoon or the next day. I hadn't even

314
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 4: unpacked the thing. I left it in the box out

315
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 4: of spy, so that day possibly, okay?

316
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 3: And how much was he? What does the message say?

317
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 6: He usually could get that message up if you just search,

318
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 6: If you just searched road Caster in your phone, it

319
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 6: did quite simply appear.

320
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 4: I'd have to scroll back the while, but yeah, I'd

321
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 4: be prepared to do that if we had all day.

322
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 2: I don't believe we do, but we'll come back to it,

323
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, you knew you were here. Running

324
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 2: a case, so you have to be prepared, so Jina, Judge,

325
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 2: I agree, Jo's I'm not asking for your feedback, of course,

326
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 2: thank you. So text that day and do you recall

327
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 2: before you refer to your notes? Can you exhaust your

328
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 2: memory please and tell me what you think that message says?

329
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 5: It was very casual.

330
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 3: No, no, I want to know what it says. Yeah,

331
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 3: me too, say it was very casual.

332
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 2: No, no, no, He said, do you want to just transfer

333
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 2: me eight hundred? Do you want to just transfer me

334
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 2: eight hundred? Yeah, it was a question, and did you

335
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 2: say no?

336
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 5: I probably barked back with are you right? What do

337
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 5: you mean to know?

338
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 3: Probably? What do you think you said?

339
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 4: I would have said something Judge to the effect of,

340
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 4: you didn't pay for it, so why are you pocketing

341
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 4: from this?

342
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 3: Because it's his possession?

343
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 6: Thank you?

344
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 3: This is true. You're right.

345
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 2: So if you inherit a house from a deceased grandparent,

346
00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 2: does that mean you give it away for free?

347
00:14:59,800 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 6: No?

348
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 3: Of course not so. Once you've got physical possession of something,

349
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 3: it's your will do whatever.

350
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 5: You donate it to a charity or something. If I

351
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 5: didn't need the helld.

352
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 6: You can't even spell charity?

353
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 2: I would suggest that if you own something, it's your

354
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 2: possession and you can do whatever you like with it.

355
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 2: Gift it, sell it, use it, keep it, put it away,

356
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 2: throw it out, whatever you like to do. It doesn't matter.

357
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 2: So I think the confusion here more so is the

358
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: fact that you weren't to where it was for sale.

359
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 2: You've accepted and received these goods on the premise that

360
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 2: they were given to your friend as a gift, and

361
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 2: as a result of that, you've assumed that you would

362
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 2: also have the benefit of someone's generosity.

363
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 5: Yes, I'll quote The Castle a court based movie.

364
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 4: It's just the vibe, you know, just the vibe the

365
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 4: law of bloody common sense.

366
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 6: Right right, Well, that doesn't hold up in a court

367
00:15:54,480 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 6: of war, you know. I just I just killed people

368
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 6: because it was the vibe.

369
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 5: He's speaking over dutchdowns speaking over.

370
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 6: Yet the mars.

371
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 2: Getting very messy here, So I'm going to pull you

372
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 2: both back. So I just want to know what do

373
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 2: you want me to do today? I'll start with mister Coombs,

374
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 2: what do you want me to do today? Why have

375
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 2: you brought this to me today?

376
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 5: Well, the emotional just.

377
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 4: Stress that I've endured as a result of this and also,

378
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 4: I am a freelancer. I don't have a steady wage

379
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 4: like you, so I'm very out of pocket.

380
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 5: I'd like it to be reimbursed.

381
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 4: Because it's not lost to be reimbursed the eight hundred dollars.

382
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 4: It's the eight hundred because he's not actually out of

383
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 4: pocket by then, because he didn't pay for the equipment

384
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 4: in the first place.

385
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 6: I've just gone back because there's quite a few sales,

386
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 6: all very well priced, and I'm going through my five

387
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,520

Speaker 4: I've just laid eyes on it for the first time,

409
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 4: and none of that is written in it.

410
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 2: Did you know you were getting a discount? Did you

411
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 2: know that the eight hundred dollars was less than the

412
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 2: asking price?

413
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 3: Had that?

414
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 5: Well, that was one thing that he did point out

00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:57,200

00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,439

Speaker 3: Okay, I've heard enough. I'm going to deliberate.

420
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 1: Judge Gina is deliberating and will soon hand down her verdict.

421
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: Please do not leave the courtroom.

422
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 2: Mitch Coombs, you are seeking eight hundred dollars from Mitch Jury.

423
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 2: You do not believe you should have to pay for

424
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 2: the road procaster too, as it was gifted to Mitchjury

425
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 2: and there was no discussion of payment when he gave

426
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 2: it to you. I'm going to make an order in

427
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 2: favor of mister Koomb's for eight hundred dollars nothing further.

428
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 3: Thank you.

429
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 4: I'm absolutely stoked with today's outcome. There was a while

430
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 4: there where I really didn't think it was going to

431
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 4: go my way. I didn't think I had any legs

432
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 4: to stand on. I thought that in the eyes of

433
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 4: the law, I was screwed.

434
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 5: But here we are.

435
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 4: Common sense prevailed and I knew I could rely on

436
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 4: Judge Gina for common sense.

437
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 6: I feel devastated and completely gutted.

438
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 4: I think this trial will affect my relationship with Mitch

439
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 4: going forward in a good way, because after this, he

440
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 4: will know that I can't BETWI.

441
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 6: Look, I don't really feel this will effect my relationship

442
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 6: with Mitchell Coombs. Believe it or not, we have had

443
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 6: blow ups bigger than this. I feel the disagreement has

444
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 6: been buried once and for all, like I wanted. That

445
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 6: is the one outcome of this situation that I am

446
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 6: happy with.

447
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: Yes, this has been an iHeart production.
