WEBVTT - Mates, money, and mistrust: Mitchell Coombs vs Mitch Churi

0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:11.639
<v Speaker 1>You are now entering the court of Judge Gina Leano.

0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:18.360
<v Speaker 2>It's been said that friendship and money are like oil

0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:18.960
<v Speaker 2>and water.

0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:20.160
<v Speaker 3>They never mix.

0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:23.360
<v Speaker 2>When you have a dispute that needs settling once and

0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:27.280
<v Speaker 2>for all, you come to my courtroom. I am Judge Gina,

0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:29.160
<v Speaker 2>and my decision is final.

0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Today Mitch Combs has brought Mitch Chury to Judge Gina

0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:39.400
<v Speaker 1>over a money misunderstanding. He is seeking eight hundred dollars

0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:43.840
<v Speaker 1>in financial compensation for podcast equipment he believes he should

0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:44.879
<v Speaker 1>not have had to pay for.

0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:49.000
<v Speaker 4>My name's Mitchell Coombs. I'm a stand up comedian, a

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:51.440
<v Speaker 4>social media creator and I co host.

0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:52.600
<v Speaker 5>The podcast Is It Just Me.

0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:55.640
<v Speaker 4>I've come on Judge Gina today because I feel that

0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:59.279
<v Speaker 4>my former friends and current co host Mitch Churry had

0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:03.080
<v Speaker 4>ripped me off. A near and dear friend, He's ripped

0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:03.440
<v Speaker 4>me off.

0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:06.640
<v Speaker 6>My name is Mitch Churi. I'm the host of the

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 6>Night Show on Kiss FM, the national evening show on Kiss.

0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:12.720
<v Speaker 6>I also host the three pm pick Up Around Australia

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:15.720
<v Speaker 6>on the Kiss network. Oh Shit. I'm also the host

0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 6>of the iHeartRadio exclusive podcast Is It Just Me? With

0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:22.679
<v Speaker 6>Mitchell Kerbs, my co host. I've come to defend myself

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:26.240
<v Speaker 6>and my family's honor. I believe I've been defamed. I've

0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:29.000
<v Speaker 6>been dragged here today over what I thought was a

0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:32.880
<v Speaker 6>simple transaction with a good friend that has turned very sour.

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:36.720
<v Speaker 4>I've known the other Mitch since twenty seventeen. I met

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.440
<v Speaker 4>him when I started working at the same radio station

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:40.560
<v Speaker 4>he was already working at.

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:45.279
<v Speaker 6>Mitch and I have been friends for goodness me five six,

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 6>last seven years now, a long time, and I consider

0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:52.360
<v Speaker 6>him one of my best friends. But maybe not for

0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 6>much longer.

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:55.640
<v Speaker 4>There's been a lot of tension behind the scenes of

0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:58.960
<v Speaker 4>our podcast, but we're finally ready to put this to bed.

0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:14.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So we've got the two Mitches here, Mitch Kumbs

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.440
<v Speaker 2>and Mitch Churi. So I'm going to start with Mitch

0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Kombs because it's your application today.

0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 3>You want interesting, you want an amount? Excuse me?

0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:26.520
<v Speaker 6>No, no, I'm apologies. No, I just more meant that

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 6>it was it's interesting that you apologies, Janet, No, I'm sorry. Okay,

0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:30.120
<v Speaker 6>what's not interesting?

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:31.079
<v Speaker 3>No, it is interesting.

0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:31.880
<v Speaker 6>You are interesting.

0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I'll ignite you to speak. You can stop there,

0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:34.600
<v Speaker 3>thank you.

0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:35.640
<v Speaker 6>No, sorry, I didn't be you.

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to refer to you both by your surname.

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:42.800
<v Speaker 2>So I'm going to ask Coombs if you can just

0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:46.239
<v Speaker 2>tell me a bit about your relationship. So are you friends?

0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:49.399
<v Speaker 2>Do you work together? How long have you known each other?

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 3>Well?

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 4>Both, we've known each other for quite a few years now,

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.880
<v Speaker 4>I think it was twenty seventeen. We started working together.

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:58.079
<v Speaker 4>We were colleagues and then became very close friends. And then,

0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:02.320
<v Speaker 4>like all friends, we thought, God, our conversations deserve to

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:04.880
<v Speaker 4>be recorded and broadcast. So we started the podcast as

0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:07.519
<v Speaker 4>a couple of mitches and it's been a good few

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:11.600
<v Speaker 4>years now, running strong and very minimal fights in that time.

0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:14.079
<v Speaker 3>So your podcast is about wash.

0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 5>Well, it's called Is It Just Me? That's the name

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 5>of the podcast.

0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:20.040
<v Speaker 6>Okay, I wanted the name to be Mitch please, like

0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:23.040
<v Speaker 6>bitch please, but Mitch please, but Mitch wanted is It

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:23.400
<v Speaker 6>Just Me?

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:26.680
<v Speaker 4>And so it's every week we get together and debrief

0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:28.799
<v Speaker 4>something we've noticed, hate or appreciate.

0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:30.560
<v Speaker 5>It's a bit of improv bit of fun.

0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:31.480
<v Speaker 3>All right.

0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.680
<v Speaker 2>So I'm going to come to you, mister Tury fantastic,

0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:37.640
<v Speaker 2>tell me about because I can see the burning desire

0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:38.720
<v Speaker 2>to say something.

0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.240
<v Speaker 6>No, no, I just know it's just because I've seen

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:41.400
<v Speaker 6>the GW.

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Stop mister Cury, okay, so I no stop. I'm just

0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.440
<v Speaker 2>going to ask you some questions and if you can

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 2>just answer, okay, don't one word, answer, just concisely as

0:03:58.720 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 2>you can, that would be got.

0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:00.680
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 2>So you've known mister Coombe since about twenty seventeen.

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:06.200
<v Speaker 3>You've heard what he said. Do you agree with all that?

0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:06.960
<v Speaker 6>Yes?

0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 3>Correct.

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:09.840
<v Speaker 6>We met on his birthday actually, and I had already

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.400
<v Speaker 6>worked at the radio station since twenty fifteen, so I

0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 6>extended the olive branch. I think I probably wanted to

0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:16.920
<v Speaker 6>maybe get with him at the start, maybe take him

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.000
<v Speaker 6>on a dinner or something, but he quite quickly you've

0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.840
<v Speaker 6>seen his personality. It didn't work. We didn't click in

0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:25.599
<v Speaker 6>that respect, so it was strictly platonic straight away. But

0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:27.799
<v Speaker 6>we met on his birthday. Then the podcast was born,

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:29.560
<v Speaker 6>you know, two years later.

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:33.520
<v Speaker 2>Fantastic all right, So you actually there was an attraction there,

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:34.680
<v Speaker 2>but it didn't.

0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 6>Get Yes, I found Mitchell Kuhmb circa twenty seventeen attractive,

0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:38.719
<v Speaker 6>and I'm not afraid to say it.

0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.719
<v Speaker 2>There you go, there's a compliment for you. So I've

0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:45.120
<v Speaker 2>got an application here from mister Coombs he wants an

0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 2>amount that he paid you for a road cast paid

0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.599
<v Speaker 2>back to him. So I'm just going to ask you

0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:53.839
<v Speaker 2>some questions about this road cast. So, yes, you were

0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:56.640
<v Speaker 2>given a road caster for free during lockdown?

0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:57.159
<v Speaker 3>Is that right?

0:04:57.800 --> 0:04:58.359
<v Speaker 6>Yeah? Correct?

0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:00.880
<v Speaker 3>So tell me that story. Yeah, yes, So I host.

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.480
<v Speaker 6>I still host the same show, the night show, and

0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.279
<v Speaker 6>that show during COVID had to go from home, so

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 6>I had to record the show from my broom. Closs

0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:11.159
<v Speaker 6>and the good people at road It's an Australian brand.

0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:13.359
<v Speaker 6>They sent me a road caster, which is like a

0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:15.919
<v Speaker 6>little mini radio. Yeah, here it is. It's right in

0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:16.080
<v Speaker 6>with this.

0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:17.560
<v Speaker 3>What is it? What is it an?

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.440
<v Speaker 6>It's a mini broadcast console, Gina. So if you've been

0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:22.839
<v Speaker 6>in a radio studio you'll know, or a podcast studio.

0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:26.279
<v Speaker 6>There's a desk. It's probably the size of like a

0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 6>large Domino's pizza just going off, you know what I know.

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.840
<v Speaker 6>And you can control the microphone levels, you can put

0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 6>calls through it, sound effect, you can make wacky sounds.

0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:38.320
<v Speaker 6>You have a lot of fun with it. Gena action

0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:40.159
<v Speaker 6>now that I'm thinking of you playing with it, but

0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.920
<v Speaker 6>I enjoyed it. So I play with this roadcast. I

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:47.400
<v Speaker 6>do my successful radio show and then covid ends. So

0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 6>I put it on gum Tree and I had bids, Gina,

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:50.800
<v Speaker 6>I had bids.

0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 2>No, No, I'm going to stop you because I'm going

0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:54.560
<v Speaker 2>to ask you some questions.

0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:56.120
<v Speaker 6>Oh you did say that?

0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:57.719
<v Speaker 3>Sorry, say that, okay.

0:05:57.839 --> 0:05:59.920
<v Speaker 2>So in early twenty twenty two, you put it on

0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:02.440
<v Speaker 2>gum tree for sale? How much was it for sale?

0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:05.080
<v Speaker 2>How much we're selling it for one thousand dollars and

0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:07.680
<v Speaker 2>you got it for free, but that's you. It was

0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:10.960
<v Speaker 2>yours to keep it. It was given to me, yes,

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:14.799
<v Speaker 2>givens okay, and they didn't expect that. Rhades didn't expect

0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:16.920
<v Speaker 2>you to return that to them at any stage.

0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 6>No, it was not on loan.

0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:22.400
<v Speaker 2>It was gifted, okay, and then you purchased something else

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:22.760
<v Speaker 2>to do.

0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:26.320
<v Speaker 6>I was gifted the new model by road they're good friends,

0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:28.520
<v Speaker 6>and they sent me the road Caster too. It had

0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:31.280
<v Speaker 6>been obviously two years. They had new technology, and they.

0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 5>Read cast Pro doesn't even know what it's called road.

0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:37.040
<v Speaker 6>Caster Pro too, and they said, you love the first one.

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.040
<v Speaker 6>Your show has been so successful. We've seen the press,

0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:41.680
<v Speaker 6>the billboards. We will give you the new model. And

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 6>I said fantastic. So that's why I put it up.

0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:47.240
<v Speaker 6>I didn't need it's been two years. And it had

0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:48.840
<v Speaker 6>been two years and I thought, let's let's just get

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:50.120
<v Speaker 6>some some pocket money for it.

0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so you'd already put it up for sale, but

0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.440
<v Speaker 2>you said that that mister Combs could buy it for

0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:57.560
<v Speaker 2>a cheaper price.

0:06:57.720 --> 0:06:58.320
<v Speaker 3>Is that right?

0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:01.520
<v Speaker 6>Well, what happened was we were my home studio which

0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.080
<v Speaker 6>had the new road caster, and I was showing it off.

0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.040
<v Speaker 6>I was saying, look at this beautiful new item of

0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:09.600
<v Speaker 6>kit that I've been gifted graciously by road in Australian business.

0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:13.200
<v Speaker 6>And then Mitchell goes, oh, you had an old one,

0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:14.720
<v Speaker 6>and I said, yeah, I've got an old one. I'm

0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:16.680
<v Speaker 6>actually selling it. He and I I'd love to get one.

0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:20.320
<v Speaker 6>I'm in the market for a road caster myself. And

0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:23.120
<v Speaker 6>then I said, well fantastic. You know, if you want one,

0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 6>I'm not using it, and he said great, I'll have it.

0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:28.080
<v Speaker 6>I went awesome, we'll pack it up and we'll get

0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:29.880
<v Speaker 6>it to you, and off he took with his new

0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:31.800
<v Speaker 6>road caster, and.

0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:33.120
<v Speaker 3>He didn't talk price.

0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:37.800
<v Speaker 6>Well, I believe price was mentioned. It's very rude to

0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:40.360
<v Speaker 6>sort of throw around price straight away. I think I

0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:43.520
<v Speaker 6>said something along the lines of we'll chat details. I'll

0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:46.240
<v Speaker 6>text you about detail. We'll talk the road caster detail.

0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:48.520
<v Speaker 6>We're very close, you see, so we'll talk cash. I

0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:50.160
<v Speaker 6>think I could have said later.

0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:52.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to go to mister Coombs now, I think,

0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 3>do you say happened?

0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:57.800
<v Speaker 4>I don't even know where to start when it comes

0:07:57.840 --> 0:07:59.040
<v Speaker 4>to unpacking the FIBs.

0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:00.800
<v Speaker 5>I've been nowhere.

0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:06.840
<v Speaker 4>Okay, So firstly, it all came about via a phone call.

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.720
<v Speaker 4>We were on the phone for some reason and you

0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:12.240
<v Speaker 4>just mentioned, oh my god, I just got sent the

0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:15.400
<v Speaker 4>new road cast of the road Caster pro to the upgrade,

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.440
<v Speaker 4>and he was gloating about that it was a freebein.

0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:19.120
<v Speaker 5>I was like, oh wait, so can I have your

0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.120
<v Speaker 5>old one? And he's like yeah, yeah.

0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:23.720
<v Speaker 3>And did he did you know that it was for saving?

0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:25.840
<v Speaker 5>There was no mention of that until after it was

0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:26.520
<v Speaker 5>in my possession.

0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Did you know that he had it advertised and that

0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:31.400
<v Speaker 2>he'd had on the market for a week, and that.

0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:35.200
<v Speaker 4>In fact that I would challenge him to present screenshots

0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:37.520
<v Speaker 4>of the ad because I'm not sure that they it

0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:40.679
<v Speaker 4>ever went on Marketplace or gum Tree, whatever it was.

0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:43.640
<v Speaker 2>Did you know that he'd been asking for one thousand dollars?

0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:44.880
<v Speaker 5>I had no idea.

0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:46.640
<v Speaker 3>No, there was no When did you find that out?

0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:47.920
<v Speaker 3>When did you find out.

0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:49.880
<v Speaker 5>After the fact after I already had it?

0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:50.960
<v Speaker 3>When is how long?

0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 4>When when he got it to me? That was a

0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:55.959
<v Speaker 4>week or so after this phone call? So one week

0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:59.640
<v Speaker 4>later he delivered it probably, and it was we were

0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.800
<v Speaker 4>at my I have for delivery. We were recording an interview.

0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Did he say anything when he delivered it.

0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:05.360
<v Speaker 6>No.

0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:08.400
<v Speaker 4>He brought it in a box and said here, because

0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:09.559
<v Speaker 4>we're doing a recording.

0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:11.880
<v Speaker 2>I want to know the words he used when he

0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:12.960
<v Speaker 2>gave you the box.

0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.120
<v Speaker 5>Well, the words were essentially, here you go.

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.160
<v Speaker 4>I'll just leave this at your house when we're done

0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:21.000
<v Speaker 4>with it, because I've got one back at home, right.

0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:22.720
<v Speaker 3>And did that later conversation happen?

0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 6>I bump him maybe a week later because I hadn't

0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:27.600
<v Speaker 6>received cash, So I just said, you.

0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.960
<v Speaker 3>Have received cash. You haven't told him what the cash's later? Later?

0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:32.280
<v Speaker 3>This is a week later.

0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:34.760
<v Speaker 6>Now if more, it was expecting him, as a good

0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:36.520
<v Speaker 6>close friend of mine and someone that I could have

0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:39.680
<v Speaker 6>potentially once slept with, to have offered out and gone Hi, Mitchell,

0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:42.320
<v Speaker 6>thanks for the road caster. What are you for that

0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:47.760
<v Speaker 6>old friend? When in fact radio silence. So then I said, look,

0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:50.160
<v Speaker 6>I'd like eight hundred dollars for it. I'm selling it

0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:52.679
<v Speaker 6>for a thousand. You've got my account details because we've

0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:55.840
<v Speaker 6>had dinner together. Just transfer me eight hundred bucks and

0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:58.920
<v Speaker 6>I'd prefer cash, is what I said, because I wanted

0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.240
<v Speaker 6>it to be off the books. Off the books, yeh

0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:02.200
<v Speaker 6>l Chapo style.

0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:06.560
<v Speaker 2>I'll caution you, as a judge would that anything you

0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.920
<v Speaker 2>say may be used against you, and so I will

0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:10.480
<v Speaker 2>caution you.

0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.240
<v Speaker 3>That you need to say nothing further.

0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:15.800
<v Speaker 2>Thank you terms of that, and I won't be asking

0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.079
<v Speaker 2>you any and if you are asked any questions, you're

0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:19.480
<v Speaker 2>not compelled to answer them.

0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 6>Oh I would have liked to have known that. Show

0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:25.240
<v Speaker 6>you there, Thank you judge.

0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:27.559
<v Speaker 2>All right, So you want a d eight hundred dollars

0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:34.959
<v Speaker 2>for the for the road casting pastor that's heavily discounted.

0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:36.720
<v Speaker 3>Is it two hundred dollars? Okay?

0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.680
<v Speaker 2>But you didn't ask him for money, so you gave

0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.360
<v Speaker 2>it to him. He took possession of it and there

0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:43.679
<v Speaker 2>was no discussion of money.

0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:45.800
<v Speaker 6>Well, how dare he assume that it was a free gift.

0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:47.600
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I don't want to get routy here, but

0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:49.360
<v Speaker 6>the men he assumed it was free.

0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:51.280
<v Speaker 3>Well you didn't tell him otherwise.

0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:54.120
<v Speaker 6>I can't recall what the wording was, but I'm a

0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:57.200
<v Speaker 6>very it's not your time. I can't was it's not

0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:00.120
<v Speaker 6>your time because I said it's for sale. I said, yes,

0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:02.960
<v Speaker 6>it's for sale. If you would like to purchase it,

0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:05.800
<v Speaker 6>is what I said, Then we can organize a deal.

0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:08.880
<v Speaker 6>Judge in it. Can I make one other edition? If

0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.720
<v Speaker 6>I could, you'd assume, being a good friend, Mitch would

0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:13.599
<v Speaker 6>just transfer me the money. Of course I have for

0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.560
<v Speaker 6>some quips, you know, with that lizard tongue of his. However,

0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:22.240
<v Speaker 6>he asked me to formulate an invoice and then forward

0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:25.080
<v Speaker 6>it to him so he could make it a tax

0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.599
<v Speaker 6>deductible purchase and or you know what I want. I

0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:30.120
<v Speaker 6>wanted to do with the money. I won't repeat that,

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:32.240
<v Speaker 6>but I had to then formulate it.

0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:35.520
<v Speaker 2>Not everybody is wanting to evade tax, you see.

0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:38.400
<v Speaker 3>That's the issue here, I think.

0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:42.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I would suggest that if mister Coombs is

0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:46.360
<v Speaker 2>in the business of podcast and radio, that something is

0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:49.800
<v Speaker 2>that he purchases could be a tax deduction. Correct, So

0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:53.920
<v Speaker 2>I would suggest that's a very fair and valid request

0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:57.800
<v Speaker 2>to have a tax invoice. But My question is the

0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.719
<v Speaker 2>tax invoice was for eight hundred dollars and did you

0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:01.200
<v Speaker 2>pay it?

0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:03.680
<v Speaker 5>And when I did pay.

0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:07.679
<v Speaker 4>It, which I was, I did ask him to do

0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:09.800
<v Speaker 4>the invoice. I was kind of relying on his lazy

0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:11.160
<v Speaker 4>and it's thinking you'd never get around to it.

0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:14.360
<v Speaker 3>But much to my suppose buying time, I was, you know, I.

0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:16.679
<v Speaker 6>Had to watch a YouTube tutorial and what nobody made

0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:18.839
<v Speaker 6>the invoice? Zero zero zero two? Like I just make

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:20.079
<v Speaker 6>it up as I go to be honest.

0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.640
<v Speaker 2>Right, Okay, well, I'm sure you're not selling many of

0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:26.200
<v Speaker 2>these things and they it's probably a one one invoice

0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:27.280
<v Speaker 2>in your whole lifetime.

0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:29.720
<v Speaker 6>Correct, Yes, yes, you're.

0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:33.080
<v Speaker 2>Right right, So you've got your eight hundred dollars you

0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:36.959
<v Speaker 2>paid that? When did you pay that, mister Koombs. I

0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:40.000
<v Speaker 2>can't remember exactly when that one was later a month later,

0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:42.520
<v Speaker 2>two days, it was late. I reckon it would have

0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:44.360
<v Speaker 2>been about a month later, because you got me the

0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:47.040
<v Speaker 2>invoice eventually, and I.

0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:48.959
<v Speaker 6>Remember not putting food on the table for my family

0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:51.240
<v Speaker 6>that so it would be late.

0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:54.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you couldn't put food on the table for your family,

0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:56.840
<v Speaker 2>so you just you were.

0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:59.680
<v Speaker 6>I'm believing, Yeah, I was. I needed that money.

0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.040
<v Speaker 5>Thant even a due date on the invoice.

0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:02.640
<v Speaker 3>Okay?

0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:05.200
<v Speaker 2>And then so when was the first mentioned to you

0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:06.760
<v Speaker 2>of money that.

0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:09.839
<v Speaker 4>Came after the fact I got a text that said, oh,

0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:10.439
<v Speaker 4>can you just.

0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:13.600
<v Speaker 3>I want to know when? When? When did you get

0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:14.080
<v Speaker 3>a text?

0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:16.280
<v Speaker 6>His sweating, judge, sweating on the brow?

0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:19.199
<v Speaker 5>I really sweating, judge, he's lying as usual.

0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:21.360
<v Speaker 6>Now that's an aspersion.

0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:23.240
<v Speaker 5>Why are you allowed to speak when I'm talking? I

0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:24.160
<v Speaker 5>had to shut my mouth.

0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:26.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'm going to stop you both there, So go on.

0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:28.199
<v Speaker 2>I want to know about when you first got the

0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:29.680
<v Speaker 2>mention of a text and money.

0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.160
<v Speaker 4>It was very soon after he left. It might have

0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:35.800
<v Speaker 4>been that afternoon or the next day. I hadn't even

0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:37.679
<v Speaker 4>unpacked the thing. I left it in the box out

0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:40.120
<v Speaker 4>of spy, so that day possibly, okay?

0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:42.480
<v Speaker 3>And how much was he? What does the message say?

0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:45.040
<v Speaker 6>He usually could get that message up if you just search,

0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:47.280
<v Speaker 6>If you just searched road Caster in your phone, it

0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:48.360
<v Speaker 6>did quite simply appear.

0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:50.440
<v Speaker 4>I'd have to scroll back the while, but yeah, I'd

0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:52.040
<v Speaker 4>be prepared to do that if we had all day.

0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe we do, but we'll come back to it,

0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:57.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, I mean, you knew you were here. Running

0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:02.920
<v Speaker 2>a case, so you have to be prepared, so Jina, Judge,

0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:07.760
<v Speaker 2>I agree, Jo's I'm not asking for your feedback, of course,

0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:12.120
<v Speaker 2>thank you. So text that day and do you recall

0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:14.920
<v Speaker 2>before you refer to your notes? Can you exhaust your

0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:19.960
<v Speaker 2>memory please and tell me what you think that message says?

0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:22.720
<v Speaker 5>It was very casual.

0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:25.040
<v Speaker 3>No, no, I want to know what it says. Yeah,

0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:28.400
<v Speaker 3>me too, say it was very casual.

0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:30.400
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, He said, do you want to just transfer

0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:33.680
<v Speaker 2>me eight hundred? Do you want to just transfer me

0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:36.840
<v Speaker 2>eight hundred? Yeah, it was a question, and did you

0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:37.320
<v Speaker 2>say no?

0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:39.920
<v Speaker 5>I probably barked back with are you right? What do

0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:41.880
<v Speaker 5>you mean to know?

0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:43.600
<v Speaker 3>Probably? What do you think you said?

0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.520
<v Speaker 4>I would have said something Judge to the effect of,

0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:50.360
<v Speaker 4>you didn't pay for it, so why are you pocketing

0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:50.880
<v Speaker 4>from this?

0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:52.600
<v Speaker 3>Because it's his possession?

0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:53.400
<v Speaker 6>Thank you?

0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:54.880
<v Speaker 3>This is true. You're right.

0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:58.160
<v Speaker 2>So if you inherit a house from a deceased grandparent,

0:14:58.200 --> 0:14:59.680
<v Speaker 2>does that mean you give it away for free?

0:14:59.800 --> 0:14:59.960
<v Speaker 6>No?

0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:03.320
<v Speaker 3>Of course not so. Once you've got physical possession of something,

0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:04.480
<v Speaker 3>it's your will do whatever.

0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:08.160
<v Speaker 5>You donate it to a charity or something. If I

0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:09.360
<v Speaker 5>didn't need the helld.

0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:10.480
<v Speaker 6>You can't even spell charity?

0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:13.840
<v Speaker 2>I would suggest that if you own something, it's your

0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:16.360
<v Speaker 2>possession and you can do whatever you like with it.

0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Gift it, sell it, use it, keep it, put it away,

0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:23.040
<v Speaker 2>throw it out, whatever you like to do. It doesn't matter.

0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:27.360
<v Speaker 2>So I think the confusion here more so is the

0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:29.400
<v Speaker 2>fact that you weren't to where it was for sale.

0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:34.040
<v Speaker 2>You've accepted and received these goods on the premise that

0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:37.200
<v Speaker 2>they were given to your friend as a gift, and

0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:40.480
<v Speaker 2>as a result of that, you've assumed that you would

0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:44.280
<v Speaker 2>also have the benefit of someone's generosity.

0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:47.600
<v Speaker 5>Yes, I'll quote The Castle a court based movie.

0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:50.640
<v Speaker 4>It's just the vibe, you know, just the vibe the

0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:52.480
<v Speaker 4>law of bloody common sense.

0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:54.480
<v Speaker 6>Right right, Well, that doesn't hold up in a court

0:15:54.480 --> 0:16:00.000
<v Speaker 6>of war, you know. I just I just killed people

0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:00.720
<v Speaker 6>because it was the vibe.

0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:03.200
<v Speaker 5>He's speaking over dutchdowns speaking over.

0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:03.920
<v Speaker 6>Yet the mars.

0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:05.800
<v Speaker 2>Getting very messy here, So I'm going to pull you

0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:09.080
<v Speaker 2>both back. So I just want to know what do

0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:12.640
<v Speaker 2>you want me to do today? I'll start with mister Coombs,

0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:15.320
<v Speaker 2>what do you want me to do today? Why have

0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:16.840
<v Speaker 2>you brought this to me today?

0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:19.600
<v Speaker 5>Well, the emotional just.

0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:24.080
<v Speaker 4>Stress that I've endured as a result of this and also,

0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:26.680
<v Speaker 4>I am a freelancer. I don't have a steady wage

0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:28.480
<v Speaker 4>like you, so I'm very out of pocket.

0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:30.720
<v Speaker 5>I'd like it to be reimbursed.

0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:33.880
<v Speaker 4>Because it's not lost to be reimbursed the eight hundred dollars.

0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:35.840
<v Speaker 4>It's the eight hundred because he's not actually out of

0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:38.760
<v Speaker 4>pocket by then, because he didn't pay for the equipment

0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:39.600
<v Speaker 4>in the first place.

0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:42.160
<v Speaker 6>I've just gone back because there's quite a few sales,

0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:44.400
<v Speaker 6>all very well priced, and I'm going through my five

0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:47.520
<v Speaker 6>star reviews. Nice man love his radio show. I think

0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:49.920
<v Speaker 6>it's one awards. That's just the feedback on my profile.

0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:54.360

<v Speaker 3>road cast.

0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:28.000
<v Speaker 6>To pro description. Hi there, I'm selling my barely used

0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:34.880
<v Speaker 6>road cast pro used for radio productions based in Sydney,

0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:39.640
<v Speaker 6>looking for a new home. Need money for ice cream,

0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:40.240

0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:43.439

0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:44.840
<v Speaker 2>you seen that ad before today?

0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:46.760
<v Speaker 4>I've just laid eyes on it for the first time,

0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:48.359
<v Speaker 4>and none of that is written in it.

0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:51.159
<v Speaker 2>Did you know you were getting a discount? Did you

0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:53.280
<v Speaker 2>know that the eight hundred dollars was less than the

0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:54.080
<v Speaker 2>asking price?

0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:54.320
<v Speaker 3>Had that?

0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:56.200
<v Speaker 5>Well, that was one thing that he did point out

0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:57.200
<v Speaker 5>to me when I said.

0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:58.439
<v Speaker 4>You're going to charge me, and he goes, yeah, i'll

0:17:58.480 --> 0:17:59.919
<v Speaker 4>charge you. Lets you know how much I could be

0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:01.200
<v Speaker 4>for this on gum trick.

0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:04.920
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I've heard enough. I'm going to deliberate.

0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:11.199
<v Speaker 1>Judge Gina is deliberating and will soon hand down her verdict.

0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Please do not leave the courtroom.

0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:22.960
<v Speaker 2>Mitch Coombs, you are seeking eight hundred dollars from Mitch Jury.

0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:25.520
<v Speaker 2>You do not believe you should have to pay for

0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:28.840
<v Speaker 2>the road procaster too, as it was gifted to Mitchjury

0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:31.440
<v Speaker 2>and there was no discussion of payment when he gave

0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:34.359
<v Speaker 2>it to you. I'm going to make an order in

0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:39.159
<v Speaker 2>favor of mister Koomb's for eight hundred dollars nothing further.

0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:39.679
<v Speaker 3>Thank you.

0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:48.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm absolutely stoked with today's outcome. There was a while

0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:49.560
<v Speaker 4>there where I really didn't think it was going to

0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:51.720
<v Speaker 4>go my way. I didn't think I had any legs

0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:54.240
<v Speaker 4>to stand on. I thought that in the eyes of

0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:55.720
<v Speaker 4>the law, I was screwed.

0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:56.520
<v Speaker 5>But here we are.

0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:59.199
<v Speaker 4>Common sense prevailed and I knew I could rely on

0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:01.240
<v Speaker 4>Judge Gina for common sense.

0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:04.439
<v Speaker 6>I feel devastated and completely gutted.

0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:08.160
<v Speaker 4>I think this trial will affect my relationship with Mitch

0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:12.399
<v Speaker 4>going forward in a good way, because after this, he

0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:14.800
<v Speaker 4>will know that I can't BETWI.

0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:17.840
<v Speaker 6>Look, I don't really feel this will effect my relationship

0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:19.800
<v Speaker 6>with Mitchell Coombs. Believe it or not, we have had

0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:22.760
<v Speaker 6>blow ups bigger than this. I feel the disagreement has

0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:25.840
<v Speaker 6>been buried once and for all, like I wanted. That

0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:28.600
<v Speaker 6>is the one outcome of this situation that I am

0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:29.000
<v Speaker 6>happy with.

0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Yes, this has been an iHeart production.
