| But this was all after the relationship was over? | |
| Mm-hmm. | |
| And then you decided because of that, you're not paying for anything. | |
| I do have to say, just from a technique standpoint, Matt's use of judge hands is excellent. | |
| Five stars on the judge hands for sure. | |
| I'm James Sexton. | |
| I'm a divorce lawyer based out of New York State. | |
| I've been practicing divorce law for 25 years. | |
| I've spent a lot of time in courtrooms getting yelled at by judges, making objections, having them sustained, overruled, and I've appeared in front of probably every kind of judge that you could imagine. | |
| So I am very excited to be judging, judged by Matt Walsh. | |
| That feels good to me. | |
| I hold your fate and perhaps even the fate of the world in my hands. | |
| It's lofty. | |
| Now tell me why you are here. | |
| Alright, we're here today because my ex-girlfriend is very crazy and just pure psychotic. | |
| That feels very subjective. | |
| Is this your ex-girlfriend? | |
| Unfortunately, yes. | |
| I met her And on a New Year's Eve party back in 2022, when I met her, she was very free-spirited, loud, you know what I mean? | |
| The good kind of crazy, you know, at the party. | |
| The good kind of crazy. | |
| It's always the good kind of crazy till it becomes the bad kind of crazy. | |
| It's a different crazy. | |
| I've never met a good one. | |
| Uh, well, this one, well, she was good crazy. | |
| You know, she was drinking, having a good time. | |
| A loud, crazy drunk is the good kind? | |
| Matt has really mastered the furrowed brow of a sitting judge. | |
| He's really got that down. | |
| And I think that's a huge piece of the judging thing, is the ability to sort of give that look that says, like, what you're saying right now is insane and you know it. | |
| And I've had that look given to me many, many times, so. | |
| So he said, please don't drive my car. | |
| I don't have insurance. | |
| And you thought that was what? | |
| Just flirtatious? | |
| What did you think? | |
| He was joking? | |
| If he didn't want me to drive the car, he would have took the key and had it with him. | |
| Can't argue with that logic. | |
| So your logic is that if something is left within eyesight of you, that it's consent automatically for you to take it? | |
| I mean, not everything. | |
| But, like, he knows I needed to use it. | |
| Where's my wallet? | |
| All right. | |
| Hide it. | |
| Hide it, Your Honor. | |
| Well, I feel like if we're together, whatever is his is mine, too. | |
| And whatever mine is his. | |
| Right? | |
| Boy, I think I've met this woman a few hundred times in courtrooms. | |
| Why does a certain man want a woman to cook, want a woman to clean, do married woman stuff? | |
| Matt loves the gavel, I have to say. | |
| There's not a lot that you could say about Matt Walsh's liberal, but his use of the gavel is very liberal. | |
| It is, one might argue, he is overly using the gavel. | |
| It's really, they're decorative. | |
| Like, I think in a 25-year career, I've seen a judge, like, use the gavel twice, and it was always, like, in kind of a mocking way. | |
| I mean, it could be his thing. | |
| This could be, like, his judicial demeanor is defined by liberal use of the gavel. | |
| Do we have evidence of this? | |
| Yes, sir. | |
| I have pictures. | |
| I have photos. | |
| When I went to the Bahamian hospital, they had to kind of just... I'm gonna have nightmares about this woman. | |
| ...throw a mask on me. | |
| I had to come right back to the United States to go to the emergency room. | |
| Matt's look says it all right there. | |
| Looks like he just ate a bad clam. | |
| This disturbs me. | |
| I don't... Why are you showing me this? | |
| I don't want to see it. | |
| Because you asked for it, Judge. | |
| Are you victim-blaming now? | |
| I'm the victim. | |
| No, I'm the victim. | |
| I had to look at that. | |
| You can't argue with that. | |
| Look. | |
| That's fair. | |
| Judge. | |
| What look would you say you're going for? | |
| I felt the fact that Matt was able to maintain composure throughout this particular case was actually a real sign of his professionalism as a judge because I don't know how he managed to keep a straight face between the two plastic surgery disasters that were in front of him there. | |
| Because as someone who makes preposterous arguments to judges sometimes, the ability to keep a straight face when we're saying something absolutely insane to you is really something that it must take some time to master. | |
| But Matt got all over it right away, early in his judicial career. | |
| So that's impressive. | |

| Aaliyah, my cousin, she came over to my house or whatever, and she's explaining to me that one day when she was over, her phone was supposedly in the couch, and... Supposedly. | |
| She asked somebody to call her phone, and he called it for her, and she's saying that that's how he got her number, that he was texting her that way. | |
| The story already hurts. | |
| But this was all after the relationship was over? | |
| Mm-hmm. | |
| And then you decided because of that, you're not paying for anything? | |
| Yeah, I'm not doing it. | |
| I feel like he still owes me. | |
| What does he owe you? | |
| Emotional distress that he's caused me. | |
| Emotional distress, okay. | |
| The emotional distress he's caused you, would you put that price at $500 and that's what makes it even? | |
| No. | |
| How do you quantify the emotional distress? | |
| I put the emotional distress at $1,000. | |
| $1,000 of emotional distress. | |
| That's a good amount of emotional distress, I guess. | |
| I do have to say, just from a technique standpoint, Matt's use of judge hands is excellent. | |
| It really is like it's an art form, judge hands. | |
| He does this one sometimes. | |
| He does this one. | |
| In this clip, he does this one. | |
| It's kind of the pensive one. | |
| But just overall, judge hands, five stars on the judge hands for sure. | |
| Well, let me ask you this, Mr. Albridge. | |
| Would you say that it's made your life better on the whole to chase hoes? | |
| Has it made you a happier, more successful person? | |
| Something about hearing Matt say the word hoes seriously is amazing. | |
| I mean, in the moment, yeah. | |
| In the moment? | |
| Yeah, in the moment. | |
| Then you got all those moments after you gotta live with. | |
| I mean, yeah. | |
| Yeah, when I think back on my life, yeah, definitely. | |
| This is fairly emblematic of what is kind of wrong with the family law system, is you're trying to quantify financially certain things, like how much is your emotional distress worth? $1,000. | |
| It's a very, like, what does $1,000 worth of emotional distress look like? | |
| So the fact that, you know, Matt kind of turns it back into a, you know, a life lesson, like a Charlie Brown life lesson for this guy about, you know, hey, what is the path that you've followed really led you to, you know, these hoes ain't loyal sort of an approach. | |
| I think that that was benevolent of him. | |
| License to strip. | |
| Do you go to the DMV for that? | |
| Actually, yeah. | |
| Or the police station. | |
| It's like an entertainment license. | |
| You learn something new every day. | |
| Actually, you do go to the DMV to get a license to strip? | |
| Or maybe not the DMV. | |
| Is that the tax collector's office? | |
| I don't know. | |
| Is that the what? | |
| Wow. | |
| The tax collector's office. | |
| The problem with democracy is that her vote equals mine. | |
| I just want to say that right now. | |
| No, that's not the tax collector's office. | |
| That's the IRS. | |
| You don't go to the IRS to become a stripper, do you? | |
| I already hated the IRS and now I hate them more. | |
| She couldn't get a license, I couldn't get a license, and so the next plan was, okay, well this is a Jacksonville law, why don't we go to the next... If you can't get a stripping license, what's next? | |
| Like an hour and a half or two hours, and that's Daytona. | |
| So Daytona doesn't have this standard where at least you have to be 21? | |
| I think Daytona is like a drive-thru stripper license, it's easy. | |
| How about Daytona is trashier than Jacksonville? | |
| That's honestly, no, you know what's really trashy? | |
| That is an amazing achievement. | |
| Jacksonville, you have to be 21 to strip, but you have to be 18 for nudity. | |
| So you know those like nude, I mean maybe you don't know, but those nude strip clubs that are fully nude, you only have to be 18. | |
| Those nude strip clubs? | |
| Right. | |
| As opposed to the not nude ones? | |
| I mean, there are, like, different ones. | |
| I think it's sort of adorable that Matt actually doesn't know the distinction between an all-nude strip club and, you know, which is... Most jurisdictions have an all-nude strip club, also known as a juice bar, where you're not allowed to serve alcohol, but women are allowed to be completely naked. | |
| And then there are strip clubs where they can only be semi-nude. | |
| Normally, they have to have their private areas covered. | |
| Again, this case was a challenging one. | |
| Challenging in so far as it was hard to imagine that either of these young women were actually sufficiently intelligent to have found their way into the courtroom. | |
| And he somehow again managed to not hold them both in contempt and throw them out. | |
| I think the fact that Matt was not given the power to jail people or to assign people towards execution was probably a smart move on someone's part and I applaud that. | |
| But I do think this is the kind of case where if he could have had them both held in contempt He definitely would have done so. | |
| Have you sworn off the strip club scene? | |
| Are you done? | |
| Um... Nope, that's a long pause. | |
| I don't wanna, I don't wanna like... You've answered the question. | |
| I don't wanna say, like... You've answered it. | |
| I mean, yeah, yeah. | |
| You haven't, no. | |
| No, you haven't. | |
| The answer's no. | |
| I think I'm done. | |
| I don't know. | |
| I don't know. | |
| Like, I don't live life like that. | |
| I don't feel very confident in that answer. | |
| I don't like to live life with, like, periods at the end of them. | |
| Like, I want to keep everything open. | |
| Well, why not? | |
| I mean, when you have a sentence and it's over, especially if it's a really terrible sentence, a lot of times you want to put a period on it. | |
| So this is something that you've testified that you feel God is calling you not to do. | |
| You don't feel comfortable doing it. | |
| You don't feel good about it. | |
| And yet, you're not willing to say that you won't do it again. | |
| Well, God was calling, but she was like, let's send it to voicemail. | |
| It's not... | |
| Like, let's say, let's say, like, I'm down bad and I want, like, a new car. | |
| Like, let me just work— You know, you could say a lot of things about Matt Walsh, but you couldn't possibly say that he's a guy that you'd use a phrase like down bad with. | |
| There's just no courtroom in the world where using a phrase like down bad is gonna work to your advantage. | |
| It's just not. | |
| Even in, like, Bronx County, that's not gonna work. | |
| You know, I've been practicing law for 25 years, and I've watched a lot of judges, their careers begin, and watched their rise, and some of them I've watched their downfall. | |
| I have to say, Judge Walsh is off to an amazing start. | |
| As a practicing attorney for, you know, a couple of decades, I would like my cases judged by Matt Walsh much more than the elected judiciary that they're currently in front of. |
