00:13:24,170 --> 00:13:25,772
Yeah.
Because of the past.

338
00:13:25,772 --> 00:13:28,341
I mean, I know that.
The one you want her to forget

339
00:13:28,341 --> 00:13:29,542
that she won't forget

340
00:13:29,542 --> 00:13:32,512
because there's been
no new evidence

341
00:13:32,512 --> 00:13:34,514
of a new and different My'Ron.

342
00:13:34,514 --> 00:13:36,382
She can't look online

343
00:13:36,382 --> 00:13:38,451
and see you having sushi,
doing shots

344
00:13:38,451 --> 00:13:41,587
with a chick that's a model
that you say is a client.

345
00:13:41,587 --> 00:13:43,623
You don't do shots with clients.

346
00:13:43,623 --> 00:13:47,327

350
00:13:58,671 --> 00:14:01,708
I am dismissing the countersuit
for $900

351
00:14:01,708 --> 00:14:03,676
because I think
you've gotten enough.

352
00:14:03,676 --> 00:14:05,545
But I do want to commend you,
young lady,

353
00:14:05,545 --> 00:14:08,815
because you put your foot down
and you held your ground.

354
00:14:08,815 --> 00:14:11,517
I don't totally agree
with the way you did it...

355
00:14:11,517 --> 00:14:13,519
Right.
...but I do understand

356
00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:14,654
why you did it.

357
00:14:14,654 --> 00:14:17,623
And I wish more women
would take that stance,

358
00:14:17,623 --> 00:14:20,360
because what you have is value.

359
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,328
And if you treat it
like a gold mine,

360
00:14:22,328 --> 00:14:24,497
everybody else will.
Right.

361
00:14:24,497 --> 00:14:26,566
But if you pass it out
like potato chips,

362
00:14:26,566 --> 00:14:28,334
then we gon' treat it
like Lay's,

363
00:14:28,334 --> 00:14:31,237
and you can't just eat one.

You can't pay
for a woman's affection.

You can't buy it. If you try
to hold onto it with money,

it's gonna cost you every nickel
and every dime you got.

371
00:14:51,224 --> 00:14:54,627
Now, your suit for $2,600,

372
00:14:54,627 --> 00:14:56,496
I'm going to dismiss,

with two women.

and you in love with her,

I don't like it when the
plaintiff is funnier than me.

for conning him into
purchasing action figures

that weren't worth anything.

and doesn't owe him squat.

with you, Craig.

and he tricked me.

because you're suing
for $3,000. Why?

454
00:18:52,865 --> 00:18:56,836
Last year, Jay and myself met
in person for the first time.

455
00:18:56,836 --> 00:18:58,671
And in passing,
I had mentioned

456
00:18:58,671 --> 00:19:02,041
that I was in the market
for the original four

457
00:19:02,041 --> 00:19:05,945
Ghostbusters action figures
from the mid-1980s.

458
00:19:05,945 --> 00:19:08,848
I wanted them in package
and sealed,

459
00:19:08,848 --> 00:19:10,650
otherwise known
in the collecting community

460
00:19:10,650 --> 00:19:12,818
as "mint on card," meaning

461
00:19:12,818 --> 00:19:16,055
that is a mint action figure
in its original packaging.

00:19:16,055 --> 00:19:17,923
How much is something
like that worth?

A set of four recently sold
upward of $3,000.

464

And when we originally made
the deal and Jay told me

465
00:19:25,698 --> 00:19:28,634
that he had the original
four figures mint on card,

466
00:19:28,634 --> 00:19:31,937
he was willing to part with them
for $400.

467
00:19:31,937 --> 00:19:34,540
And I thought that was
a really great deal.

468
00:19:34,540 --> 00:19:35,775

are y'all?

that I would sell $3,000 worth
of figures for $400 --

472
00:19:43,516 --> 00:19:44,083
Doesn't make any sense.

No reasonable person
would sell them for that.

What did you tell him?

00:19:49,855 --> 00:19:51,824
So, this is where
I have a problem,

477
00:19:51,824 --> 00:19:53,859
because I didn't say
mint on card,

478
00:19:53,859 --> 00:19:55,895
I said mint with card.

479
00:19:55,895 --> 00:19:57,963
The card backs were there.
But in the world --

of evidence?

photographic evidence.

So, you can see the cards
kind of in the picture.

00:20:07,006 --> 00:20:09,008
That is what I received
in the mail.

485
00:20:09,008 --> 00:20:12,078
And with vintage toys, when you
remove them from the package,

486
00:20:12,078 --> 00:20:14,080
it's like driving
a car off the lot.

out of the box.

you get, actually get?

I received the package.

00:20:28,928 --> 00:20:33,199
And to my surprise,
I got this,

this bag of four original
Ghostbusters action figures,

but I already have these.

a new "Ghostbusters" movie.

animals are ruining her yard.

Rich says his animals
aren't to blame,

683

684

Alright. Let's start
with you, Rayslyn.

You have 30 seconds
to state your case.

687

Judge Steve Harvey, I'm here
to sue my dad for $10,000

688
00:29:56,561 --> 00:30:00,232
to get his crazy animals
out of my yard.

689
00:30:00,232 --> 00:30:01,600
They are destroying my lot.

690
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,302
Me and my husband
spent all this money

691
00:30:03,302 --> 00:30:05,404
and built this big, beautiful
house out in the country.

692
00:30:05,404 --> 00:30:08,440
This is our dream home. We plan
on raising our children there.

693
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,575
We want to live out there
the rest of our lives.

694
00:30:10,575 --> 00:30:13,445
And because of
his oversized goats,

695
00:30:13,445 --> 00:30:16,581
chickens, horses, and dogs,

696
00:30:16,581 --> 00:30:19,551
it's putting a tamper
on my party.

697
00:30:19,551 --> 00:30:21,453
Okay, well, Rich,
it's your turn.

698
00:30:21,453 --> 00:30:23,655
You got 30 seconds to respond.

699
00:30:23,655 --> 00:30:25,691
Judge Harvey, I'm here
to defend myself

700
00:30:25,691 --> 00:30:28,260
and prove
to my spoiled daughter

701
00:30:28,260 --> 00:30:30,729
that I don't owe her $10,000
for a fence.

702

I'm also here to countersue her
for $5,000

703
00:30:33,465 --> 00:30:35,701
for talking to family
and friends

704
00:30:35,701 --> 00:30:39,338
and portraying me
as an unfair dad

705
00:30:39,338 --> 00:30:40,472
and a bad person.

706
00:30:40,472 --> 00:30:43,442
Well, let's talk about
this dream home.

707
00:30:43,442 --> 00:30:45,410
So, Mr. Harvey,

708
00:30:45,410 --> 00:30:47,713
my husband and I
were looking for a home,

709
00:30:47,713 --> 00:30:51,450
and my dad said, "I've got some
acreage out at our family farm.

710
00:30:51,450 --> 00:30:52,484
I'll give you guys an acre,"

711
00:30:52,484 --> 00:30:54,753
as he offered
the rest of our siblings.

712
00:30:54,753 --> 00:30:57,356
And so, me and my husband,
it was hard to pass up.

713
00:30:57,356 --> 00:30:58,457
We took him up on it.

714
00:30:58,457 --> 00:31:00,392
So I thought
it'd be a great idea

715
00:31:00,392 --> 00:31:01,660
for her to come out
to the farm.

716
00:31:01,660 --> 00:31:04,429
The main farm
is 1,200 acres,

717
00:31:04,429 --> 00:31:06,431
so it's
a mile and a half square.

718
00:31:06,431 --> 00:31:10,335
So she built just on
the entrance of the ranch.

719
00:31:10,335 --> 00:31:12,404
Okay, we have photos
of this house being built?

720
00:31:12,404 --> 00:31:14,239
Yeah. It's my dream home.

721
00:31:14,239 --> 00:31:15,507
It's everything
I've ever wanted.

722
00:31:15,507 --> 00:31:18,343
Yeah. How big is this house?
It's 4,200 square feet.

723
00:31:18,343 --> 00:31:20,412
And my house cost $435,000.

724
00:31:20,412 --> 00:31:22,581
We could only get approved
for $400,000.

725
00:31:22,581 --> 00:31:26,318
And we made a side deal
with my dad to pay him monthly

726
00:31:26,318 --> 00:31:28,487
what we owed
for the rest of the house.

727
00:31:28,487 --> 00:31:30,389
And he came to me one day

728
00:31:30,389 --> 00:31:31,556
and said we didn't need
to pay that,

729
00:31:31,556 --> 00:31:34,626
and he wanted us to use
that money for other things.

730
00:31:34,626 --> 00:31:37,462
[ Sighing ] Okay.
Judge Harvey,
my dad's amazing.

731
00:31:37,462 --> 00:31:38,830
He's so giving.
He's so caring.

732
00:31:38,830 --> 00:31:41,466
I thought it'd just be a great
idea for her to come out

733
00:31:41,466 --> 00:31:44,536
and -- and join in
and -- and enjoy the animals

734
00:31:44,536 --> 00:31:47,639
and be a part of the farm,
and now she's concerned

735
00:31:47,639 --> 00:31:50,542
about animals
coming over by her house.

736
00:31:50,542 --> 00:31:53,612
Did -- Did you know
this was a farm?

737
00:31:53,612 --> 00:31:56,581
Your Honor, I love animals.
I love being in the farm.

738
00:31:56,581 --> 00:31:59,651
I just don't want them pooping
on my lawn and my property

739
00:31:59,651 --> 00:32:01,586
and scaring my chickens

740
00:32:01,586 --> 00:32:04,623
and tearing up my brand-new
trees I just bought.

741
00:32:04,623 --> 00:32:07,225
Okay, we got a layout
of the property.

Did you buy it all at once,

755
00:32:33,552 --> 00:32:35,687
or you parceled it,
put it together?

756
00:32:35,687 --> 00:32:37,756
Five different farms
come together.

757
00:32:37,756 --> 00:32:41,526
Wow. Did you watch your dad
purchase this over the years?

758
00:32:41,526 --> 00:32:42,794
Yes.
Pretty proud of it?

he's built to where he is today.

So, problem with some
of the animals are,

761
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:49,501
when she lived in town,

762
00:32:49,501 --> 00:32:52,437
she went and got
a bunch of little chickens.

she's complaining about,

There is more
to that story.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.
There is more to that story.

770
00:33:06,651 --> 00:33:08,687
When she first got out there,
she was living in the barn,

771

building her house.

772
00:33:09,955 --> 00:33:12,757
Them chickens were just outside
of that barn she was living in.

Well, she got all excited,
'cause she talks to everyone,

00:33:15,527 --> 00:33:17,896
and she's into social media
and all this business.

775
00:33:17,896 --> 00:33:21,900
And so finally, her chickens
laid the first egg.

776
00:33:21,900 --> 00:33:24,436
And so she holds the egg up,
and she films it,

and she puts it
all over social media.

she starts filming that.

Well, I don't have any of that
social media business

and what have you,
and so my friends

784
00:33:37,716 --> 00:33:40,585
started telling me about it.
And I said, "No kidding.

So I got a little bored
one day,

and I stopped by
the grocery store

789
00:33:47,626 --> 00:33:49,594
and grabbed a dozen eggs.

790
00:33:49,594 --> 00:33:51,363
And then I went
early in the morning,

791
00:33:51,363 --> 00:33:53,732

here comes her post.

Each chicken had two eggs."

then they --

four eggs per chicken.

eggs does a chicken have?"

and it just shows one."
