0:00 >> Judge Judy: Miss Irish, this
0:01 is your son.
0:02 He's a minor.
0:03 The car that was damaged is
0:05 probably in your name, so it
0:07 belongs to you.
0:08 And it is your claim that
0:10 Mr. Garland's son hit that car
0:12 with a baseball bat.
0:13 You weren't there.
0:14 You don't know what happened.
0:15 And, Mr. Garland, you weren't
0:16 there, and you don't know what
0:17 happened either.
0:18 >> That's correct, Your Honor.
0:19 >> Judge Judy: Why don't you
0:20 both sit down.
0:21 So now I have my prey.
0:22 [ Laughter ]
0:24 Mr. Hoberg, what's your first
0:25 name?
0:25 >> Nick.
0:26 >> Judge Judy: What is this
0:27 young man's name?
0:28 >> Matthew Magruder.
0:28 >> Judge Judy: And your first
0:30 name?
0:30 >> Max.
0:30 >> Judge Judy: You can stand up.
0:31 >> Yes, Your Honor.
0:33 >> Judge Judy: You're Matthew?
0:35 >> Yes.
0:35 >> Judge Judy: Who first had the
0:36 girlfriend?
0:37 >> Me.
0:38 [ Laughter ]
0:40 >> Judge Judy: And what's the
0:41 girlfriend's name, Nick?
0:43 >> Natalie [Bleep].
0:44 >> Judge Judy: And who had
0:45 Natalie as a girlfriend second?
0:47 That would be Matt.
0:48 Did you ever date Natalie?
0:49 >> I am currently dating
0:51 Natalie.
0:51 >> Judge Judy: You are
0:53 currently dating.
0:54 And you're Max?
0:54 >> Yes.
0:55 >> Judge Judy: From when to when
0:57 did you date Natalie?
0:58 >> Probably it was freshman year
0:59 of high school.
1:00 I don't really know the dates
1:02 exactly.
1:02 >> Judge Judy: What year are you
1:03 in now?
1:04 >> I'm a senior now.
1:05 >> Judge Judy: So it would have
1:06 been three years ago.
1:07 >> Yes.
1:07 >> Judge Judy: And when did you
1:08 date Natalie?
1:09 >> It was October 2015 through
1:11 February 2017.
1:13 >> Judge Judy: And you are
1:14 au courant.
1:15 >> Correct.
1:16 >> Judge Judy: Starting when?
1:17 >> May of 2016.
1:18 >> Judge Judy: 2016 or '17?
1:19 >> 2017. I'm sorry, Your Honor.
1:21 [ Laughter ]
1:26 >> Judge Judy: On what date did
1:28 this incident happen
1:29 with the car?
1:30 >> Happened on November 3rd.
1:31 >> Judge Judy: Who is going to
1:33 tell me a story that I'm
1:34 going to believe?
1:35 >> He will.
1:36 >> Judge Judy: You want him to
1:37 tell the story?
1:38 >> Mm-hmm.
1:39 >> Judge Judy: Forget it.
1:41 >> Hmm.
1:42 >> Judge Judy: It's your case.
1:43 >> Mm-hmm.
1:44 >> Judge Judy: You tell me the
1:45 story from the beginning of the
1:46 evening.
1:47 >> Okay, so, Matthew Magruder
1:48 texted me and asked me if I
1:49 wanted to hang out with him that
1:51 night.
1:52 >> Judge Judy: Do you have those
1:53 texts?
1:53 >> I do not, I don't think.
1:54 >> Judge Judy: Do you have the
1:55 texts?
1:55 >> Your Honor, I --
1:56 >> Judge Judy: Bup-bup.
1:57 [ Raps desk ]
1:58 >> No.
1:59 >> Judge Judy: So, we don't have
2:00 the text messages.
2:01 >> Right.
2:02 >> Judge Judy: Let us assume
2:03 that that's what happened --
2:04 that Matthew texted you and
2:06 said, "You want to hang out."
2:07 Were you friends even though you
2:09 dated Natalie first...
2:11 >> Yes, ma'am.
2:11 >> Judge Judy: ...and he dated
2:12 Natalie second?
2:13 >> Yes, ma'am.
2:13 >> Judge Judy: And so what did
2:14 you do?
2:15 >> So, we met up at
2:16 Qdoba Mexican Grill.
2:17 >> Judge Judy: What time?
2:18 >> Probably 9:00.
2:19 >> Judge Judy: Don't look
2:21 at him!
2:22 >> Sorry.
2:22 >> Judge Judy: Over here.
2:24 You met up at a Mexican grill
2:26 at about 9:00?
2:27 >> Mm-hmm.
2:28 >> Judge Judy: What happened
2:29 next?
2:29 >> Matthew had called Max to ask
2:31 him if he wanted to talk about
2:33 the situation that they had
2:34 going on.
2:35 >> Judge Judy: Just a sec.
2:36 Matthew wanted to speak to Max?
2:37 >> Right.
2:38 >> Judge Judy: When did he tell
2:39 you that?
2:40 >> I was in the car with him
2:41 when he called him.
2:42 >> Judge Judy: So, now you're
2:43 not in the Mexican grill.
2:45 You're sitting outside in whose
2:46 car?
2:46 >> In Matthew's car.
2:47 >> Judge Judy: How did you get
2:48 to Matthew's car?
2:49 >> In my car.
2:50 We met up at Qdoba, and we were
2:51 just -- we were hanging out
2:52 at Qdoba.
2:53 >> Judge Judy: So, you left your
2:54 car, you got into Matthew's car.
2:55 >> Yeah.
2:56 >> Judge Judy: And when you got
2:57 into Matthew's car, Matthew
2:58 said, "I'm gonna call Max"?
3:00 >> Yes.
3:00 >> Judge Judy: And the
3:02 conversation with Max had to do
3:03 with Natalie?
3:04 >> Um, no, not necessarily.
3:06 >> Judge Judy: Well, what do you
3:07 think that he wanted to talk to
3:08 him about?
3:09 What do you<i> think?</i>
3:10 >> It was probably Natalie.
3:11 [ Chuckles ]
3:11 >> Judge Judy: [ Imitates
3:12 chuckle ]
3:13 >> Yes.
3:13 [ Laughter ]
3:14 >> Judge Judy: I've had five
3:16 I have 13 grandchildren.
3:17 Two of whom are small.
3:18 They're not there yet.
3:19 I want to tell you what I know
3:20 about teenagers.
3:21 Most of the time, when their
3:22 mouths are moving, they're
3:24 lying.
3:24 [ Laughter ]
3:25 >> [ Chuckling ] Right.
3:26 >> Judge Judy: I picked on you
3:28 because I'm hoping that you
3:29 won't be foolish enough to lie
3:30 to me.
3:31 Do you understand?
3:32 >> Yes, ma'am.
3:32 >> Judge Judy: Him, I'm not sure
3:34 about.
3:34 [ Laughter ]
3:36 Do you understand?
3:37 >> Right, yes.
3:38 >> Judge Judy: So, now you meet
3:39 up at the Mexican grill just to
3:41 hang out.
3:41 But if you're hanging out, what
3:43 are you hanging out in the car
3:44 for?
3:44 If you want to go to the Mexican
3:46 grill, you go in, you have a
3:48 taco, you have some guacamole,
3:49 and you have dip.
3:50 But you met him, parked your car
3:52 in the lot of the Mexican grill,
3:54 got into his car, and he didn't
3:55 say to you, "Gee, what should
3:57 we do?
3:57 Should we go to the park, maybe
3:59 go to somebody's house?"
4:01 He said to you, "I want to call
4:03 <i>Max</i> and clear the air," right?
4:05 >> Right.
4:05 >> Judge Judy: Keep going.
4:07 It's getting better.
4:08 >> Okay, so, he called Max and
4:10 talked to him.
4:11 >> Judge Judy: You were in
4:12 the car?
4:12 >> Yeah, and I was in the car at
4:13 the time.
4:13 >> Judge Judy: I want you to
4:15 tell me -- listen to me really
4:17 carefully -- I want you to tell
4:19 me what Matthew said when he got
4:20 Max on the phone.
4:21 >> So, he was talking to Max.
4:23 >> Judge Judy: What did he say
4:24 when he -- as soon as he got him
4:26 on the phone?
4:27 >> He asked if he wanted to
4:28 talk.
4:29 >> Judge Judy: And you couldn't
4:30 hear the answer, I assume.
4:31 >> Right.
4:31 >> Judge Judy: And then what did
4:32 he say?
4:33 >> And then he was given an
4:34 address, I believe, and
4:35 Matthew --
4:36 >> Judge Judy: You mean, Matthew
4:37 was given an address?
4:38 >> Yeah. So, Matthew can --
4:39 I-I-I believe that Matthew
4:41 couldn't talk to him over the
4:42 phone.
4:42 >> Judge Judy: I don't care what
4:44 you believe.
4:45 I want to hear what you heard in
4:47 the car.
4:47 >> Right. So, he -- Then, he got
4:48 an address from Max and said
4:49 that he would -- that he would
4:51 come there.
4:51 >> Judge Judy: Now what you're
4:53 doing is you're with Matthew,
4:54 because, you know, Matthew was
4:56 annoyed with Max.
4:57 >> Mm-hmm.
