1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: You are now entering the court of Judge Gina Leano.

2
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 2: Friends are our chosen family, but that doesn't mean it's

3
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 2: always smooth sailing between two pals. When you need a

4
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 2: friendship fight resolved once and for all, you come to

5
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: my courtroom. I am Judge Gina, and my decision is final.

6
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 2: You better be ready to hear my ruling.

7
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: Sometimes working with a mate can be the death of

8
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: a relationship. Louis has brought rooms to Judge Gina seeking

9
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: recompense for a mis rehearsal of their critically acclaimed comedy

10
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: show Besties. Louis is seeking one thousand dollars due to

11
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: waste time. Can their friendship survive the business we call show.

12
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 3: My full name is Lewis Oscarhansen. You might know me

13
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 3: by Louis, and you know me potentially from the Internet

14
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 3: or from some articles that I've written online, or from

15
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 3: just being an icon in general. I have come to

16
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 3: Judge Gina because I'm feeling really betrayed by a best friend.

17
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 4: My name is Licinda Price aka Froomes. You would know

18
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 4: me from the Flex and Froom show on Kata or

19
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 4: on Instagram. So Louis is one of my best friends.

20
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 4: We've known each other for about four or five years.

21
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 3: We had one final in person rehearsal the week before

22
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 3: our in Hindsight critically acclaimed Melbourne Comedy Festival shows, and

23
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 3: I received a text from Miss Lisinda Frum's Price informing

24
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 3: me that she had been on a bender the night

25
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 3: before and hadn't slept, so we didn't end up having

26
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 3: the rehearsal, and I was really upset by that.

27
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 4: Today I am counteres seing Louis for sixty nine sixty

28
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 4: nine do without what you will, just for having my

29
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 4: reputation dragged through the mud.

30
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 3: Really so, I have come here today for no other

31
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 3: reason than to get one thousand dollar. Cost of living

32
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 3: is high, and I went through some distress when Lucinda

33
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 3: ditched that Rehanaisal.

34
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: Court is now in session. Please rise the judge. Gina.

35
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: Okay, Louis and Lucinda, Yes, okay. You to your friends,

36
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: I understand bestie's bestie's besties. How do you know each other?

37
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 3: We met when we worked at the same media publication,

38
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 3: probably about four years ago. Now instantly there was a connection.

39
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 3: We were like kindred spirits and we've been so close

40
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 3: ever since.

41
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 4: Yes, we were both writers and presenters, and so we

42
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 4: bonded over the trauma.

43
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: Of writing and presenting. You've bonded over the trauma of

44
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 2: writing and presenting. Yes, okay, you're currently working together.

45
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 3: We did some recently for Melbourne Comedy Festival and Sydney

46
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 3: Comedy Festival, and I would say this is the first

47
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 3: project in quite a few years that we've done together.

48
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 2: So you're both comedians. Tell me a joke, make me laugh.

49
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 4: What's green and has wheels? I don't know, grass I

50
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 4: lied about the wheels.

51
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, Well, if you lie in this court, you're

52
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: not going to get very far right. Tell me a

53
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 2: proper joke my dating life. Oh that's the joke, you're

54
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 2: dating life. Okay, you've summed it up.

55
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 5: There, you go, thank you?

56
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 2: All right. Okay, So Louie's actually asking for one thousand

57
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: dollars as a victim of being dogged by his best

58
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: de resulting in emotional turmoil and subsequent distraction from what

59
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: should have been your focus on being an icon is

60
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: your description? Okay, you have to focus on that. Okay, Well,

61
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,119
Speaker 2: we hope it just comes naturally, but in any event.

62
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 3: It was there a sentence after that said judge Jenny

63
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 3: would understand, as she herself is an icon.

64
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 2: No, that doesn't say that included. No, I think that was.

65
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: It was deliberately omitted, actually, because I don't need your flattery.

66
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 2: So how did you quantify one thousand dollars?

67
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 5: Just like a really impressive clean number?

68
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 4: Oh?

69
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: Okay, well can you tell me why I would be

70
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: compelled to agree to that?

71
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 3: Because I just felt like I experienced so much distress

72
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 3: following the incident, distress that I didn't need in the

73
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 3: lead up.

74
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 2: No, but explain what that looks like. What do you

75
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 2: mean by distress? Okay, you say that you were upset

76
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 2: and on the day and that you felt like you

77
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: were dogged by your friend, but the show went ahead

78
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 2: and you didn't suffer any difficulties. Ultimately with the show,

79
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 2: you've got stellar reviews from the Age.

80
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 5: It was critically acclaimed.

81
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 2: I have had a look over your application, Louis, and

82
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 2: it says he that you were meant to have a

83
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 2: final rehearsal on the Sunday prior to the commencement of

84
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: your Melbourne Comedy Festival shows, and Lucinda texted you at

85
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: seven am saying that she hadn't slept all night and

86
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 2: that she wouldn't be making it to the rehearsal. I

87
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: wouldn't be laughing. Does that sound right? Louis at your

88
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 2: side of the story, correct, Judge Jenna, How did that

89
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: make you feel? And what was the issue there? Why

90
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: couldn't you rehearse another time? Why was it only Sunday

91
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 2: morning or Sunday?

92
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,119
Speaker 3: So Lucinda was going to fly back to Sydney later

93
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 3: that day. So I'm Melbourne based, Lucinda Sydney based, and

94
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 3: this was the final in person rehearsal before Lucinda then

95
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 3: flew back to Sydney and then she would come down

96
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 3: again and we would do the shows. So I considered

97
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 3: this our last in person rehearsal right before the shows.

98
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 3: So it was an important one to me.

99
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 2: Okay, And you are you employed by anyone or this

100
00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: is just something you do independently? Are you paid for Yeah?

101
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 3: I would just say we're kind of like full time icons,

102
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 3: so no, this is literally just us doing things.

103
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 2: Okay, but you got paid for the show?

104
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 5: Correct?

105
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 2: Did you suffer any loss as a result of not

106
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 2: having that rehearsal?

107
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 5: Yes?

108
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:16,119
Speaker 2: What was it?

109
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 5: Emotionally?

110
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 3: I went through some emotional turmoil I felt as though

111
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 3: Lucinda had prioritized potential suitor over the Besties performances at

112
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 3: Melbourne Comedy Festival. That made me feel upset, and it

113
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 3: also meant that I was distructed from putting in the

114
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 3: hours to rehearse for the show, you know, in those

115
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 3: last final hours of rehearsal.

116
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 2: So you can't rehearse on your own.

117
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 3: Obviously, we rely on each other. We bounce off each other.

118
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 3: It's essentially one hour sleepover where we walk onto stage

119
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 3: and it just this back and forth ensues. It's very conversational.

120
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 2: And is it scripted or is it something that you

121
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: add lib At the time.

122
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 3: I would say, we have an idea of the general

123
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 3: stories that we want to towel, but the majority of

124
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 3: the hour is ad lib.

125
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 2: Okay. So when you had done the two rehearsals, they

126
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 2: were both in Melbourne, and Lucinda had flown down to

127
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 2: Melbourne for those correct and she'd flown down to Melbourne

128
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: on this occasion for the third rehearsal and hadn't turned.

129
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 4: Up on my own dime, miss judged Gina.

130
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 2: So it's cost you money to fly down here. But

131
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 2: clearly you recognized that there was a necessity for a rehearsal.

132
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: You've even put your hand in your pocket and paid

133
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: for it. Is that right? You recognized that you would

134
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 2: benefit from a third rehearsal. Some would say, would you say,

135
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: do you agree with that?

136
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 4: Next? No comment?

137
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 2: No, no, you'll need to answer that question. You're not

138
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 2: at the police station being interrogated. You're in a court,

139
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 2: so you need to tell me did you do you

140
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: agree that you were flying down to Melbourne for the

141
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 2: purpose of a rehearsal.

142
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 4: I was flying down to Melbourne for the purpose of

143
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 4: two rehearsals, not three.

144
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 2: Oh, so what you're saying is Louis got it wrong.

145
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 2: You were in Melbourne, but you weren't there for a rehearsal.

146
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 4: Correct.

147
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 5: That is scandalous.

148
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 2: I don't believe you. Why did you text him at

149
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 2: seven o'clock in the morning to say that you couldn't

150
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 2: make it to the rehearsal. Why would you text someone

151
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: at seven o'clock in the morning and say I'm not

152
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: going to make it to something that If you tell

153
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: me you weren't here for that purpose, well, Gina, I.

154
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 4: Think we need to look the receipts because I didn't

155
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 4: say that. I couldn't make it. Actually, there's some evidence

156
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 4: here that needs to be witnessed by you.

157
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 2: Well, no, I want you to tell me first.

158
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 4: So I went out on the Saturday night. I'd met

159
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 4: a man on the Friday night, and I thought, I'm

160
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 4: only in Melbourne for a few nights. Need to take

161
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 4: opportunities as they come. As a girl boss.

162
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 5: You never know when they're going to not be there.

163
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 4: That feels like a dig. So yes, I decided I

164
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 4: will go out and have a drink with this gentleman,

165
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 4: which I did as I want to do as a

166
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 4: young red blooded female, warm blooded female, and it turned

167
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 4: into quite a large night. As I said, I didn't sleep.

168
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 4: I sent Louis a message and it is time stamped

169
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 4: at seven or six am to be precise, Sunday.

170
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 2: What do you say happened?

171
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 4: I say that I informed Louis that I had not slept.

172
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 4: When Sunday, the morning of morning of the rehearsal. What

173
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 4: time was the rehearsal scheduled for? It was not scheduled, Louis.

174
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 2: What time was the rehearsal scheduled for?

175
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 3: We had this general consensus that it would be late afternoon.

176
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,719
Speaker 5: At some point I object.

177
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 2: What time was you flight out back to Sydney.

178
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 4: My flight out to Sydney was one pm.

179
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 2: Okay, Gina.

180
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 4: The rehearsal had not been scheduled. It was a loose plan.

181
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 2: Okay, what was the loose plan?

182
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 4: In my mind? The plan was for us to meet

183
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 4: at ten apam ten am and rehearsal one hour before

184
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 4: I jetted off from Saint Kilda to the airport. Takes

185
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 4: roughly one hour on a good day. We were going

186
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 4: to meet at my house. I didn't say that we

187
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 4: couldn't meet. I said, however, that I had not slept.

188
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 2: Were you just bragging about the night before? What was

189
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 2: the purpose of letting him know that.

190
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 4: A bit of both, your honor, I was bragging, if

191
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 4: I'm being real honest, all right.

192
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 3: So Louis, what did you say immediately? It put me

193
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 3: in the foulest mood of all time?

194
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 2: Well, I couldn't understand you were left in the lurch

195
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 2: and that you had a really significant performance. Three of

196
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: them actually, and they do say failing to prepare is

197
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: preparing to fail, exactly.

198
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 5: Right, your honor.

199
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 3: I'm like, not even an lie. I'm gonna put my

200
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 3: hands up. I was a bit sassy, a bit juty

201
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 3: over the text, kind of just like shutting it down,

202
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 3: like it's fine, it's fine, because usually I'm quite an

203
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 3: expressive texter. Straight away, Luciner was like, okay, something was up.

204
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 3: So Lucinda then calls me and he's like, girl, like

205
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 3: what's going on? And I was just like, listener, I'm

206
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 3: gonna be honest with you. I'm just I'm a bit

207
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 3: disappointed in your behavior, okay.

208
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 2: And then well.

209
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 3: Then I feel like Lucinda was kind of like, oh,

210
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 3: but you can still come over, and I was like, girl,

211
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 3: you literally haven't slept, and like, what are we going

212
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 3: to do?

213
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just felt that it would be a waste

214
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 2: of your time to go there. I mean, I don't

215
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 2: know what she's been up to, but I'm guessing all

216
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 2: night something kept her awake all night and on that basis, so,

217
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 2: I mean, at some point she's going to want to sleep.

218
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 2: What's the point of you taking the effort to go

219
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 2: all the way there.

220
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 3: Usually I'm a bit of a party gal, but I

221
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 3: had stayed inside all weekend, prioritized the show over my

222
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 3: social life, even though I was craving a night out

223
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 3: on the town.

224
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: So in anticipation of the rehearsal. You were a good

225
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 2: girl and you stayed.

226
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 5: Home completely judged Gina.

227
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 2: Right, So you didn't quite have the same opportunities coming

228
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 2: your ways as Lucinda may have had.

229
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 3: Is that well, you could say I had sparser opportunities

230
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 3: than Lucinda. Yes, of that weekend.

231
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 2: So basically what you're telling me is, for the sake

232
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 2: of a bit of romance, you'll ditch your friend. So

233
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 2: that'd be right. I need all audio because we have

234
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 2: an audience who can't see Louis what that expression means.

235
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,599
Speaker 2: So if you can verbalize it so for the transcript,

236
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 2: we can record it.

237
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 3: I just gestured in a very exasperated manner in agreement

238
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 3: with you.

239
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 2: Okay, Lucinda, what do you say about that?

240
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 4: Well, Louis was supposed to come to my house and

241
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 4: I sent him this photo. Gina, Well, I don't know

242
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 4: what that is.

243
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 2: Can you describe it? What's that you sleeping? I don't

244
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 2: want to see that?

245
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 3: What is that?

246
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 2: What is that you showing me how tired you are?

247
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 2: What is that at seven oh six am? Or is

248
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 2: that just so the easy?

249
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 3: That's Lucinda stumbling away from her potential suitors as the

250
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 3: sun is rising.

251
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 4: I was simply putting a face to a name and

252
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 4: letting Louis know that I was awake and that I

253
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 4: was on foot, and I said, it's giving. I haven't slept. Call.

254
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 4: Do you want to come over at like twelve for

255
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 4: a good solid hour? I really cooked it last night,

256
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 4: but it was for a good cause.

257
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 2: Well that doesn't sound right because your flight was at one,

258
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 2: and as far as I'm aware, you need to beat

259
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 2: the airport forty five minutes before that. So I don't

260
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 2: think twelve o'clock's going to be an invitation for anybody

261
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 2: other than to help you to the car with your luggage.

262
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 5: Your mind is that powerful year on Earth.

263
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 4: Kissarsing doesn't give you points, Lui, okay, so that's not

264
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 4: a plan.

265
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 2: This was the Sunday before the first show on the

266
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 2: twenty eighth of April.

267
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 5: Is that right correct?

268
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 2: And what day is the twenty eighth of April. I'm

269
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: just checking. It was a Friday, Friday, so you didn't

270
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: have time between then and Friday to have another rehearsal.

271
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 4: We did. We had it over Zoom.

272
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 2: Well, that was my next question. So you did have

273
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 2: a rehearsal over Zoom. Many actually yes, okay, when was that?

274
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 4: I would say that was on Tuesday night, and then

275
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 4: I returned to Melbourne on the Thursday. We had a

276
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 4: rehearsal all day Thursday. We then had a rehearsal morning

277
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 4: off the show on Friday, and then again Friday afternoon,

278
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,479
Speaker 4: and so multiple rehearsals.

279
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 2: Sounds to me like you would have had those multiple

280
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 2: rehearsals in any event, and that, in actual fact, Sunday

281
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 2: wasn't your final opportunity, like you've said, that's what you've

282
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 2: said to me, Louis, that that was your last chance, okay,

283
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 2: face to face. But I mean, come on, we've all

284
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 2: come out of lockdown and everybody's done everything remotely for

285
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: a long time. I think we've sort of got our

286
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 2: head around doing things.

287
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 3: Reminds I'm just something about the vibe of being in person.

288
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 2: I agree.

289
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 3: I did feel like it was our final chance, because

290
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 3: let's be honest, the next time we're going to see

291
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 3: each other was like the day before the show, and

292
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 3: by then, like you know.

293
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 2: I get it, I'll get to frames. You're candasuing Louis

294
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 2: for six hundred and ninety six dollars and ninety cents

295
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 2: for the Sunday. Is it scaries, Yes, induced by feeling

296
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 2: like a flaky friend when in actual fact you were

297
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 2: getting does it say near it getting near it your

298
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 2: honor as research for the show?

299
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 3: Yes?

300
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 2: Right? So did you did that rendezvous that encounter form

301
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 2: part of your your repertoire at the.

302
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 4: Show, both directly and indirectly. Definitely? It gave me a

303
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 4: lust for life that really came across on stage and

304
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 4: also provides me.

305
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 2: Seven a week later, a week later, you were still.

306
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 4: Yes, Gina, I go for long, long stretches.

307
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 2: Okay, So you say that you want to count Sue

308
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 2: Louis for six How did you quantify six hundred ninety

309
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 2: six dollars and ninety cents with I just want to

310
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 2: know about how you even got to ninety cents?

311
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 3: What is that?

312
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 2: So go and tell me what's the sixth.

Speaker 2: Ik? There you go. That's what you're asking.

315
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 4: Are you familiar, Gina?

316
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 2: Well no, not formiliar, but I know what you're talking about.

317
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 2: So that's just you being a little bit crass. Okay,

318
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 2: I don't think that just throwing a sixty nine and

319
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 2: sixty nine is going to cut it in my court.

320
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 2: I don't think that that's actually a quantification for anything

321
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 2: other than just another opportunity for you to be a

322
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 2: little bit and crass. So has anything like this happened

323
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: before where either of you have let each other down

324
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 2: or you know you've been distracted in any way?

325
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 4: Well, Gina, I would say, I've been single for quite

326
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 4: a long time now, and I believe that in the

327
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 4: Maslow hierarchy of needs the shelter, air, water, and also

328
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 4: physical touch, and so when opportunities are presented for me,

329
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 4: I need to take those opportunities. And at times I

330
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 4: have felt like Louis has dare I say in court,

331
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 4: cock blocks me?

332
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, well we won't use that terminologies me. We're

333
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 2: not going to use that language. I think you just

334
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 2: preoccupied with something and you have to clear your mind

335
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 2: and get focused.

336
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 3: We are both single and ravenous and ravenue.

337
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 4: At the moment, ravenous, your honor. The table in the

338
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 4: studio looks like a penis and bulls, and so it's.

339
00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 3: Actually I will agree with plaintive frames that we are

340
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 3: currently sitting on quite a phallicked table.

341
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, this is very much a distraction from the

342
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 2: question that I asked, which is, has this ever happened

343
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 2: before where either of you have let each other down?

344
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 2: And somehow you've snuck in a cock block and a

345
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 2: table that looks like a penis intestical. So I'm actually

346
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 2: not sure who I'm talking to going on. Pull this

347
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 2: right back. I mean, I don't know what Jenitale you've

348
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 2: seen in your life, but I've got three dogs, two sons,

349
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 2: and I've been married twice, so I think I've had

350
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 2: a pretty good run of different genitalia and that does

351
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 2: not look anything like what you're talking about. Okay, I've

352
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 2: heard enough. I'm going to deliberate.

353
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: Judge Gina is deliberating and will soon hand down her verdict.

354
00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: Please do not leave the courtroom.

355
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 2: All right. So, to sum it up, Louis is suing

356
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 2: Lacinda for negligence after she ditched a rehearsal for a

357
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 2: love interest. Then we've got rooms. She would like to

358
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 2: counterclaim six hundred and ninety six dollars and ninety cents.

359
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 2: I'm going to reject the counterclaim of six hundred and

360
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 2: ninety six dollars the claim of one thousand dollars. I'm

361
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 2: going to deny on the basis that the performance went ahead,

362
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 2: there were multiple rehearsals, and that at the end of

363
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 2: the day, you should understand that your friends do what

364
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 2: they do, and really you just have to accept that

365
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 2: if you have a single girl who's dedicated to her

366
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 2: career but likes to be a girl boss and go

367
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 2: out that unfortunately, that's what she might be doing. So

368
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 2: that's my decision and its final.

369
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 3: I feel horrific about today's outcome. I really came in

370
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 3: to this court case with my eyes on the prize

371
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 3: and that was a cute, clean, sexy number. One thousand dollars.

372
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 3: I feel like one thousand dollars is really the apt

373
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 3: figure to counteract for the fact that I went through

374
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 3: emotional turmoil.

375
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 4: I believe that our disagreement has been settled for once

376
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 4: and for all.

377
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 3: I thought that Judge Gina was quite fair, albeit intimidating

378
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 3: at times, but I.

379
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 5: Truly love that for her. She is an icon. She

380
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 5: is amazing.

381
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 4: I think it's good for Louis to have somewhere to

382
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 4: air his feelings and having someone like Judge Gina as

383
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 4: a mediator is a blessing. So I think we should

384
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 4: be very, very thankful for today's experience and what has

385
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 4: transpired here.

386
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 3: I think we're going to be fine. I think our

387
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 3: relationship is going to be fine from here. She is

388
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 3: a real one through and through and I love that girl.

389
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 3: I just wanted money. I'm going to be honest.

390
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: This has been an iHeart production.
