1
Never let anybody see you sweat.
2
So I was born in New York City,
3
and I lived there until I was eight years old.
4
I realized that I was a much better talker than I was a listener.
5
I don't know what to say,
6
I just don't like what you're saying.
7
Sorry, Your Honor.
8
I ended up going to law school at Georgetown,
9
and then I was a prosecutor for Janet Reno.
10
I loved it, because it was so raw.
11
Were you cheating on her?
12
Yeah, sure.
13
Okay.
14
All rise.
15
Our show will be a mixture of education,
16
I think you're misreading the law a little bit, and entertainment.
17
My main goal is justice and the law.
18
That's been my legacy, and the legacy I hope to continue into the future with the show.
19
Brad Williams claims his shoulder was injured
20
because his coworker drank before coming to the gym and didn't spot him properly during a lift.
21
Terry Remy says he told the plaintiff the weight was too much,
22
but his warning was ignored.
23
All right.
24
Mr. Williams, you're suing Mr. Remy for $3,500 that you say he owes you
25
because of an injury that you sustained that you say was his fault.
26
Yes, Your Honor.
27
How long have you two known each other?
28
We've known each other for about five years now.
29
He's a regular workout partner.
30
We've been going about twice a week.
31
This was the first time that,
32
you know, due to his drunken negligence,
33
I sustained a serious injury.
34
All right.
35
So what happened?
36
So I was at the gym,
37
texted him to meet up while I was at work.
38
let's hit the spot right after about 5 o'clock.
39
And he said that he was still at the office and that he would meet me afterwards.
40
So no problem.
41
I went to the gym by myself,
42
did some cardio, some free weights,
43
and waited for him to show up.
44
All right.
45
What time did he show up?
46
So I was at the gym at about 7.
47
Okay.
48
How many hours do you guys work out when you work out?
49
It's usually a couple hours.
50
Just depends on what we're going for.
51
Wow.
52
All right.
53
So go ahead.
54
So he finally does show up to the gym.
55
I see him from across the gym.
56
He's working on a different machine.
57
Wave him over, ask him to help me with the spot.
58
Okay, now what's a spot?
59
So a spot is when somebody assists you in lifting a weight that you might otherwise struggle with.
60
So you're lying down and you're gonna do this,
61
and he is standing behind you just in case something goes wrong.
62
That's the idea behind spotting.
63
And what happened?
64
I went for a few reps,
65
went for three, one, two, three, no problem.
66
I was struggling on the fourth rep,
67
so at that point I asked him to help me re-rack it,
68
which he did, no problem.
69
I felt like I had one more in me,
70
so I went for it and I was struggling,
71
but I couldn't quite get it back up,
72
So I'm looking for his help.
73
I'm shouting, hey, man, help me.
74
I need some help getting this back up.
75
He was looking around, not paying attention.
76
But you're screaming right in front of him.
77
Your screaming didn't cause him to engage?
78
Apparently not until I screamed his name and he finally realized the bar was about to crush me,
79
at which point it was too late.
80
So he tried to lift it back up,
81
overcompensated with his right arm,
82
tilted the weight off to the left.
83
Everything fell.
84
It crashed.
85
I completely, like, I just felt this raving pain in my shoulder.
86
From the weight itself pressing against you or from whatever motion you were doing to get it off you?
87
It was from the weight itself.
88
So trying to push it up,
89
normally you want to get it straight.
90
He overcompensated in trying to help me and it tilted all the way to the left side.
91
So at that point I felt an immediate like tear,
92
just this immense pain in my shoulder and I started,
93
you know, screaming because it hurt.
94
After that I yelled at him because I was like,
95
hey man, this, you know,
96
you're not supposed to help me out.
97
Like you weren't paying attention.
98
We got into his face.
99
He was more interested in re-racking the weights than caring about my injury.
100
So what did he say to you?
101
You know, he said, you shouldn't have gone for that much weight.
102
I said, you should have had my spot.
103
We're going at it.
104
And then at that point,
105
I smell he's been drinking.
106
He's got some alcohol in his breath.
107
And you didn't smell that before?
108
No, he was across the gym.
109
I didn't see him until he was right next to me.
110
Well, he's standing right over your head.
111
Yeah.
112
So if he talked at all,
113
you would know if he smelled like alcohol, right?
114
Because he's literally, your face is here and his face is here, right?
115
Yeah.
116
Thanks.
117
Were you drinking before the gym?
118
Your Honor, I was.
119
As one does, right?
120
Right?
121
Before...
122
Two to four drinks max.
123
Who drinks two to four drinks and then goes to the gym?
124
Well, everyone has their own kind of pre-workout.
125
That's your pre-workout?
126
On occasion.
127
What were you drinking?
128
Two, maybe four gin and tonics.
129
Oh, that's pretty strong.
130
Is that common that you would have four...
131
I know you must be joking with me because you can't possibly demand to have four drinks before every workout.
132
Not every workout, but there is sort of a running joke that when I say I'm staying late at the office,
133
which is the place where I work,
134
we have a bar on the first floor.
135
That means I'm grabbing a few drinks.
136
And we have two mutual friends who are drinking buddies of
137
ours who I met up with right as I finished with work.
138
And I told him over text that I'd be there at 7,
139
and I extended an invitation to him.
140
To come and drink with you.
141
Yeah.
142
Okay, let me see the text.
143
Hey, it's the baby.
144
No, oh, you're good, honey.
145
No, no, don't you be stepping towards the judge.
146
Kidding me?
147
You know what my bailiff is going to do to you?
148
All six foot five of you, too.
149
Thinking of hitting the gym tonight, you up for it?
150
Yeah, I need to get some free weights in.
151
Cool, I'll be over at seven from work.
152
Meet you there.
153
Going to spend some time at the office with Jake and Sam want to meet up with us.
154
So is he supposed to know what at the office means?
155
Yes, it's a common running joke, inside joke of ours.
156
Is that accurate?
157
I might have heard it once with him and his girlfriend.
158
Okay, so when he says,
159
do you meet, gonna spend some time at the office with Jake and Sam,
160
do you want to meet with us?
161
You knew that meant that he was having drinks with Jake and Sam and did you want to join him, right?
162
Yes.
163
Do Jake and Sam work with him?
164
No, those are mutual friends.
165
Okay, so you know then that staying late at the office didn't mean working this time.
166
You You knew it meant the bar.
167
Yeah, usually, yeah.
168
Because he doesn't work with Jake and Sam.
169
No, no, I'm not.
170
Right, and he invited you.
171
So he's not inviting you to go over a project at work, right?
172
He's inviting you for drinks.
173
Correct, yeah.
174
I thought so.
175
You tell me what happened where the weights ended up dropping.
176
I get to the gym and I start my cardio.
177
And he weighs me down,
178
so I come over, and he's got two plates on the bench press.
179
I warned him, hey, a 25-pound jump is drastic, and this is dangerous.
180
Wait, you warned him of all this with four drinks in you?
181
Coming up on Justice for the People.
182
Do you know that he's doing that?
183
I mean, it was pretty noisy in the gym.
184
I was a little bit distracted.
185
Why were you distracted?
186
There was a lot going on.
187
OK, but don't you have,
188
like, one job, which is to spot him right now?
189
And later.
190
This is a joke more for adults and to not repeat it.
191
So I try to set that boundary.
192
OK, you try to set that boundary?
193
That's like a thousand times worse.
194
It's our little secret.
195
If you'll be in the Los Angeles area and want to bring your case to court, call 1-888-552-6878.
196
You're watching Emmy nominated Justice for the People with Judge Millian.
197
We're back with the case of Brad Williams,
198
who blames Terry Remy for a torn rotator cuff.
199
So that was this night that you said that to him.
200
It's not like on some prior day.
201
It's this day that you say that to him.
202
Yeah, I have receipts to show that it was only two to four drinks at the bar.
203
What's your receipt show?
204
Two or four?
205
Two or twice as much?
206
I'd like to know.
207
So two.
208
Where'd you get the two to four?
209
Because it was happy hour.
210
So not so it is four.
211
Okay, so you tell him that's a big jump,
212
25 pounds, I mean, you know,
213
compared to what you're used to doing.
214
And what does he say?
215
I've got this.
216
Don't worry, bro.
217
I stepped back and let him do his thing.
218
Wait, are you spotting him or aren't you?
219
I don't get it.
220
But yeah, I was standing over him and I asked him,
221
hey, do you need help?
222
Okay, so when you said you stepped back, what do you mean?
223
He asked for space.
224
He said, no, bro, I've got this.
225
So I stepped back and let him do his thing.
226
Wait, wait.
227
He said to you, I need space.
228
Step back.
229
I don't understand what's going on between you two.
230
Did you ask him to step back?
231
No, I said I got the fourth rep.
232
I was struggling.
233
And at that point, he did help me.
234
Okay, so go on.
235
And are you paying attention to what he's doing?
236
Well, I noticed he struggled,
237
but I didn't think he would continue.
238
So I helped him get the bar back up,
239
and I assumed it was going to be fine.
240
And he went for a fifth, and...
241
Wait, how does he go for a fifth?
242
Pushes it up.
243
He just takes it up again, lifts it up again.
244
Okay, so do you know that he's doing that?
245
I mean, it was pretty noisy in the gym.
246
I was a little bit distracted.
247
Why were you distracted?
248
There was a lot going on.
249
Yeah, but not while you're spotting him.
250
Your mind should be on spotting him, right?
251
Yes, Your Honor.
252
Okay, so go on.
253
What happens?
254
Before I knew it, he was struggling to pull it up,
255
and it was already too low,
256
and he hurt himself by pushing his limits further than he should have.
257
Tell me what you did.
258
You're trying to pick it up.
259
Yeah, I tried to diffuse the situation and gather the weights,
260
put everything back, and keep him from humiliating himself in front of other gym-goers.
261
That was your concern?
262
Yes, Your Honor.
263
Was he angry at you?
264
I mean, he was in a lot of pain.
265
He said some not nice things.
266
Did you have to go to the hospital?
267
I was pissed, yeah.
268
I had to leave immediately.
269
I couldn't drive, so I had to take an Uber to urgent care.
270
And what happened?
271
So the doctor informed me that I completely tore my rotator cuff.
272
Did you have to have surgery?
273
I did have to have surgery.
274
They had to replace it and,
275
you know, fix the tear as best as they could.
276
It ended up costing $3,500 out-of-pocket.
277
So that's your out-of-pocket is $3,500?
278
Yeah.
279
Luckily, I had insurance to help with that.
280
Okay.
281
So let me ask you a question.
282
Do you feel like you're responsible?
283
No, I feel like his,
284
his negligence to his own limits is what's at fault here.
285
You imply that he wasn't at the top of his spotting game because he had been drinking.
286
But you knew he had been drinking,
287
and you asked him to spot you.
288
Yes, Your Honor.
289
So, some would say that you have assumed the risk of having a guy who has four gin and tonics spot you.
290
Yes, Your Honor.
291
Yeah.
292
It's like, apparently, it wasn't a problem for you,
293
but you want it to be a problem for me.
294
No, Your Honor, I'm not here to waste your time.
295
Do you feel like the alcohol played a role, or don't you?
296
I do, I do.
297
All right, but it was okay by you that he was spotting you,
298
even though he had four gin and tonics in him.
299
So I feel like you assumed the risk of him having been drinking.
300
I don't know where to draw the line if that's who you pick to spot you.
301
So how much of this is your fault, do you think?
302
I still think it's...
303
Inviting a drunk guy...
304
Well, I don't know if he was drunk or not.
305
You didn't think he was drunk,
306
or you wouldn't have had him spot you.
307
Inviting a guy who's had four gin and tonics to spot you,
308
and then also combining it with adding 25 pounds to your workout.
309
These don't seem like really smart decisions.
310
Had you been drinking before you were working out?
311
No, I hadn't.
312
Oh, so this is on a completely sober.
313
But we have been drinking to the gym before together.
314
Usually we'll hit, you know,
315
the free weights or the machines.
316
And so this is not a big deal to you?
317
No, so this is a normal thing,
318
but we'll normally hit the machines that don't require,
319
you know, spotting over a bar.
320
I was feeling good that day.
321
So why did you do it this day?
322
Why would, of all days,
323
would you pick this day when you know he's been drinking for two hours
324
and it's two for one happy hour and that you decide to pick that day to increase the pounds by 25 pounds.
325
I did see him stumbling but I didn't think he had that much to drink.
326
You saw him stumbling before you asked him to spot you?
327
No, this was after he tried to help me.
328
I saw him stumble when he tried to correct the weight up which inevitably tore the rotator cuff but yeah,
329
I didn't realize he was super drunk.
330
We usually hold our liquor and if anything, I think you know.
331
You're not my first spotting case, believe it or not.
332
I have had many cases where someone wants to blame their injury on the spotter
333
because the spotter didn't do the spotting job to the,
334
as though you're paying the spotter or something and they're,
335
you know, they're negligently performing their duty.
336
They're a spotter.
337
They're doing you a favor.
338
But in your case,
339
the guy who you picked to do your spotting is a
340
guy who you know has been drinking for two hours and it didn't bother you in the slightest.
341
And now you're asking me to have it bother me.
342
But you didn't have a problem with that that day.
343
And that's the day you choose to do this enormous jump.
344
Maybe your injuries resulted from that behavior.
345
I'm sorry that this happened to you,
346
but frankly, I find in favor of the defendant in this case.
347
All rise.
348
Judge Millian has ruled in favor of the defendant.
349
The plaintiff's claim is denied.
350
Shouldn't skip legs, bro.
351
I understand the ruling.
352
I disagree with it, but maybe you got a point.
353
Exit this way, please.
354
Make sure you grab all of your belongings.
355
Coming up...
356
I had to step out for an IT error.
357
He accepted responsibility to watch my son.
358
He made a sexual joke directly to my son,
359
and my son repeated this joke.
360
You're watching him be nominated Justice for the People with Judge Millian.
361
Don Granderson claims his eight-year-old son was expelled from an after-school program
362
because he repeated a dirty joke that the defendant told him.
363
Nate Joseph says he warned the plaintiff's son not to tell the joke to anyone.
364
Okay.
365
Mr. Granderson, you're suing your,
366
well, I guess former friend,
367
Mr. Joseph, for $800 for negligent behavior that caused you to lose that amount in an aftercare program.
368
Tell me what happened.
369
So, what happened was, I left my son with him for about 15 and 20 minutes at work while I had to...
370
Why was your son with you at work?
371
It was a clerical day,
372
half day, and the at-school program was not set up to take students in three hours early.
373
Okay, but were you allowed to bring your child to work?
374
I had permission from my boss, yes.
375
Okay, how old's your child?
376
My son is eight years old, ma'am.
377
Okay, go on.
378
I had to step out for an IT error.
379
He accepted responsibility to watch my son,
380
and he made a sexual joke directly to my son.
381
It wasn't even overheard, it was directly to my son.
382
And my son repeated this joke at work to several students.
383
Okay, what was the joke?
384
Well, Your Honor, school is like a bad hookup.
385
Sometimes you don't like it,
386
you don't enjoy it, but you still get screwed every day.
387
Do you tell that to an eight-year-old?
388
Yes, Your Honor.
389
Do you have children?
390
No, Your Honor, I'm a single man.
391
What were you thinking of saying a joke like that to a kid?
392
Well, Your Honor, I'm a fun uncle type.
393
I don't have any children,
394
and the fact that he brought his child into the workplace,
395
I thought was a little inappropriate in the first.
396
According to him, he had permission from the boss, so it's not your...
397
That's true, Your Honor.
398
That's true.
399
Coming up...
400
So, when I was working,
401
I just was kind of asking him about school and how things were going,
402
and I just kind of seemed that he was a little down,
403
so as I was going,
404
I had heard a joke the other day.
405
for the people of Judge Millian.
406
We're back with the case of Don Granderson,
407
who brought Nate Joseph to court for negligent behavior.
408
Tell me the circumstances surrounding the telling of this joke to an eight-year-old child.
409
Yes, of course, Your Honor.
410
So Don left it and he went to go do his job.
411
And I was sitting at my desk with Stephen,
412
and Stephen was working on some homework and I was working on a few reports.
413
So when I was working,
414
I just was kind of asking him about school
415
and how things were going and I just kind of seemed that he was a little down,
416
so as I was going,
417
I had heard a joke the other day.
418
But as soon as I said the joke,
419
I told him that, you know,
420
this is a joke more for adults and to not repeat it,
421
so I tried to set that boundary.
422
Okay, you tried to set that boundary?
423
I got an idea.
424
How about the boundary that you don't cross when you tell a kid about a hookup who's eight years old?
425
How about that?
426
That's like a thousand times worse.
427
It's our little secret.
428
That's true, Your Honor.
429
All right, tell me about the issues he's had at aftercare before this.
430
They were for disrupting during group activities,
431
and they were for being disrupted during homework time.
432
Okay.
433
So disruptions, talking out of line,
434
those were his main infractions.
435
They throw him out of the afterschool program because he told the joke?
436
They threw him out because it was a zero tolerance policy against sexual jokes.
437
Because that was the second strike.
438
What are you saying?
439
Like, it's all fine and it's all well and good,
440
and if it's not the third strike,
441
if it was a second strike,
442
everything on your part would be okay?
443
No, but, Your Honor, I mean,
444
the joke in nature was not of that...
445
I didn't think it was that severe.
446
I mean, I used the word hookup.
447
I'm not sure it's hookup that was the problem.
448
Understood.
449
Understood, Your Honor.
450
I just wanted to bring to your attention that,
451
you know, this is not the first time that his child is causing issues.
452
Yeah, I know, they're kids, all right?
453
So they're eight years old,
454
but the problem was that what you did is what caused him getting,
455
you know, out of the program.

Judge Milyon's verdict, when Justice for the People returns.
457
You're watching Emmy-nominated Justice for the People with Judge Milyon.
458
When you talked to your son,
459
did your son tell you that he had told him,
460
don't repeat this joke, it's for adults?
461
He did inform me that he was told that, Your Honor.
462
So did you ask your son,
463
so why did you say it?
464
I did not.
465
Look, as offended as I am that he is a moron who would actually tell an eight-year-old child a sexual joke,
466
the question becomes, is your son at fault for repeating it?
467
Did he know what he was saying and did he know he shouldn't say it?
468
And then he said it anyway.
469
And
470
that was really what caused him to be thrown out as
471
opposed to you leaving him in the care of someone at work.
472
I understand that.
473
As annoyed as I am at his behavior,
474
does he have to pay?
475
What are you doing while I'm talking?
476
Are you actually chicken necking and agreeing with me?
477
I was.
478
Yes, Your Honor.
479
Because honestly, I've been doing this alone my whole life and I do not need your participation.
480
Okay, so I would appreciate it if you did not like whoop-de-doo in here because what you did was completely idiotic.
481
But I am not going to hold him legally responsible because there's a difference between being an idiot and being legally responsible.
482
I understand.
483
I'm not, you know, like, I get it.
484
This is an emergency, a child care issue, and sometimes it happens.
485
It's not that you're in any way at fault.
486
The only person who's at fault is him,
487
but he's not legally at fault.
488
Verdict for the defendant.
489
All rise.
490
Judge Melian has ruled in favor of the defendant.
491
The plaintiff's claim is denied.
492
Any last remarks for each other?
493
I think I need to work on my jokes.
494
I think you just need to work around your jokes in the workplace.
495
Exit this way please, make sure you grab all of your belongings.

Warum dieses Video für das Sprechen üben?
Das Video „Gym And Tonic & Hear, Say“ mit Richterin Milian ist eine großartige Gelegenheit, um Englisch sprechen zu üben. Es bietet wertvolle Einblicke in die Kombination von Recht und Unterhaltung, die den Zuschauern nicht nur rechtliche Grundsätze näherbringt, sondern auch die Kunst des Sprechens fördert. Durch die Mischung aus Bildung und Unterhaltung wird eine entspannte Atmosphäre geschaffen, die das Lernen erleichtert. Es ermutigt die Zuschauer, aktiv zuzuhören und gleichzeitig ihre eigene Sprachbeherrschung zu verbessern, indem sie den Dialog nachsprechen und den Kontext nachvollziehen.
Grammatik und Ausdrücke im Kontext
- „I was born in New York City“ – Diese Struktur verwendet das Passiv, um Herkunft anzugeben. Dies ist wichtig für die Beschreibung von Lebensereignissen und kann beim Erzählen von persönlichen Geschichten nützlich sein.
- „I realized that I was a much better talker than I was a listener“ – Hier wird ein Vergleich zwischen zwei Aspekten des Sprechens und Zuhörens angeführt. Solche Vergleiche sind hilfreich, um Gefühle und Erfahrungen auszudrücken.
- „I ended up going to law school“ – Diese informelle Struktur zeigt eine Entwicklung oder einen Schlussfolgerungsprozess. Sie ist nützlich, um zu beschreiben, wie man zu bestimmten Lebensentscheidungen kommt.
- „He said that he would meet me afterwards“ – Indirekte Rede ist in der englischen Sprache weit verbreitet. Der Gebrauch von „would“ ist entscheidend für das Verständnis von Konditionalität und zukünftigen Aussagen.
Häufige Aussprachefallen
In diesem Video gibt es mehrere Wörter und Phrasen, die für Lernende eine Herausforderung darstellen können, insbesondere wenn es darum geht, die Englische Aussprache zu verbessern. Ein Beispiel ist das Wort „gym“, das oft falsch ausgesprochen wird. Achten Sie darauf, den kurzen „i“-Laut klar auszusprechen.
Ein weiteres Beispiel ist „regular“, wo das „r“ und der Vokal unterschiedlich betont werden, was den Klang beeinflusst. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit sollten Sie auch auf Fremdwörter legen, die im Kontext verwendet werden, wie „serious injury“, da die Intonation hier erheblich ist.
Durch Englisch Shadowing dieser Sprechweisen – das bewusste Nachsprechen der Dialoge – können Sie Ihre Aussprache und Ihr Hörverständnis erheblich verbessern. Dieses Format bietet eine hervorragende Möglichkeit, Englisch zu lernen mit YouTube und gleichzeitig den Wortschatz und die Satzstrukturen in realistischen Gesprächssituationen zu festigen.
Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
