Transcripts
Hello and welcome back
to Jarvis Johnson! GOLD,
- [disembodied voice] Gooooooold! - The premium channel that is free.
Um. It is. It is free.
But, if you're watching this, you're premium.
And today court is in session.
We're joined by two very special guests,
Lolo and Olay,
the stars of their own podcast together
and also YouTube stage and screen.
Now Alex, you have been a...
been a part of the
"I forced a lawyer to watch Steve Harvey" series before,
- Very famously, very
- [Jarvis] Very famously you are the only part of it.
- [Alex] Yes. [laughter]
- [Jarvis] But Olay, you are now joining us,
do you know anything about Judge Steve Harvey?
- No, I don't know about him as a judge,
I know about Steve Harvey as Steve Harvey,
so I'm expecting him not to mess around.
[laughter] - [Jarvis] Okay, okay.
There is a video on their YouTube channel,
that I think will be a great primer
for those who are brand new to this series,
where Steve Harvey talks about being a judge.
[Music] - It's really cool to be a judge
in my position because
I really don't have to pay attention to the law.
- [Alex] (scoffs) That's the first thing he says.
- [Jarvis] That he doesn't have to pay attention to the law.
Isn't that the only thing he has to pay attention to?
- [Alex] Actually- Yeah. - Judges don't know the law.
- [Jarvis] Ohhhh. - [Olay] Real life judges do not know the law.
- This is actually maybe the most accurate
thing he's ever said. - [Olay] As in they don't know the law.
- Their clerks do all the work.
Shoutout clerks.
- [Jarvis] I forgot to mention, uh,
you were both lawyers.
- [Olay] Oh yes. - [Alex] Oh yeah.
[laughter] - [Jarvis] Which is kind of the whole
premise of this video.
- [Alex] I forgot. - [Jarvis] So you saw it in the title.
Okay, let's continue.
- I've been in enough legal trouble. (laughs)
[laughter]
Now listening to the story is more important than anything,
it's not the case, it's the story.
- [Jarvis] Alright, lawyer check.
Is it more about the story than the case?
- [Olay] Mhm. - The story is the case.
- Yeah, the story is the case, but how you-
think about if you were gonna go to trial on something,
it's the same case, technically, the same facts,
but it depends on what story, what narrative you're telling,
- [Jarvis] Right. - [Olay] like how have you-
- [Jarvis] Cause you've got two sides trying to tell a story,
and then the jury is- - [Olay] And the story teller,
they, yeah, the best storyteller wins.
- But sometimes, you're-
you don't have good facts for your story.
- I'm- I'm a great storyteller.
- [Alex] Yeah, I believe that.
- [Olay] I be getting some shit off,
like, I have definitely had like arraignments where,
like, on the facts, you just know your client is going in,
like, you've already prepared them,
like, you know, just so you know,
you're going in. [laughter]
And then you get up there, and you're like-
and it works, I'm like,
Oh shit, there's been a bunch of times
I've been like this to my client,
(whispering) Let's fucking go.
- [Jarvis] You're like dapping up. - [Olay] 100%.
Like I have actually done that.
- [Harvey] It's a big world out there,
and it's filled with people that just don't see eye to eye.
See that's where I come in.
- Not him walking around like he's Dark Wing Duck.
[laughter]
- [Jarvis] Oh, I love this so much.
- [Olay] The drip is immaculate.
- [Jarvis] It is incredible.
He looks amazing.
- I am the person they were thinking of when they think
that you can like, dress your way out of a bad situation, like,
it don't matter what they tell me about Steve Harvey present day,
he be dressing down, okay! [laughter]
- [Jarvis] I can't aspire to any aspect of Steve Harvey's life,
maybe except for the wealth and fashion.
- And the mustache is perfectly, - And his wife is a baddie.
- perfectly managed.
- [Jarvis] Yeah, I don't think I'll ever get there, but,
I think you can- you can maybe
- [Alex] You could do it, you need product, - [Jarvis] I'm trying.
- [Alex] you need product. - Okay, I'm gonna work on it.
- [Harvey] See I ain't got a law degree,
and I'm way too fly to wear a robe,
but this is where common sense presides.
In my house.
Court is now in session.
- If Olay had her own court show,
it would be the exact same intro.
- [Olay] I'm not gonna hold you,
I've got a black court fit
that I can find a picture of it later to show you,
that's like, the poor man's version of this exact outfit he has on.
- [Jarvis] I just love when he says:
"I ain't got a law degree, and I'm way too fly to wear a robe."
- And I felt him.
- You don't need a law degree, king.
So let's jump into our case for today.
- [Narrator] Erron is suing his ex-fiancee Ilene
for $3,400, the cost of multiple engagement rings.
- $3,400 for three different engagement rings?
That means divide that.
How much he spent on each ring.
And then you have the nerve to come back here like a pauper
and ask her for the money?
For the peasant's rings you bought her?
[laughter]
- Straight classist. - Eugh.
- He was just doing his best. - No.
- [Jarvis] He was doing his best with each ring.
Each successive ring, he was like-
he started with a $400 ring,
and she was like, "no, more!"
and then he had a $1000 ring, - [Olay] I, I feel the emotion,
like I can feel we about to hear a story about a man
who was doing mess in between each of them engagements.
[laughter] [Olay] She's ready for- look at her!
- [Jarvis] She knows she's- - [Olay] Like I know he fucking lying,
Like, oh, this about to be a nice day,
I got receipts.
- Judge Harvey, I'm here to sue my ex-fiance for $3400
for three engagement rings that I purchased for her.
[Crowd gasps]
[laughter]
- Thank you, same energy!
That's a man, the man- - [Alex] He's like, three???
- [Olay] black man, the black man was like,
come on, bro.
- [Jarvis] The people are-
they- they have to have been told to over emote,
because if you look in the background, everybody's like,
[Jarvis silently imitating shock]
- I have nothing really to show for the relationship
but my children, and uh,
- [Olay] But my children?! - [Jarvis] (laughing) what???
- [Olay] Pause, pause, I know you fucking-
imagine you try to sue a woman who has children for you
for the $3400.
- [Jarvis] That's crazy.
- Multiple children! - [Alex] Litigious-
litigious king.
Am I gonna have to take his side in this?
- [Jarvis] I mean maybe. - [Olay] Clearly, you want to do that.
- [Alex] Why am I slipping into a Trump voice?
- [Jarvis] Am I- [laughter]
- Wanna do it? Yes.
Be his- be his- be his attorney.
- (imitating Trump) $3400-
[Jarvis laughing] a very nice price for a ring.
- Um, I have nothing really to show for the relationship
but my children, and uh, I feel like I deserve that money back.
- Literally no one in the, like, crowd,
is on his side at all.
(laughs) He's lost, dude.
- [Olay] This is absurd. - [Alex] Instantly.
- He did give me three engagement rings,
but he proposed, and once you give me an engagement ring,
it's now my property, and it is a gift.
We did not get married, so I don't believe I owe him anything.
- I mean, she is right, no, I mean legally it is a gift.
- [Jarvis] Yeah. - [Olay] That is like a whole like,
law of engagement rings.
I want you to know,
losers have done this before.
In real life, have gone to court, - [Jarvis] Mmm, that's crazy.
- [Olay] and the court has actually had to like,
decide on this. It's a gift.
- [Erron] We spent a lot of time together at work,
I saw her coming and going,
smelling, good, looking good.
- [Jarvis] Alright. - Oh he's still pressed.
- [Jarvis] Yeah, alright buddy. - [Olay] Sad. Embarrassing.
- [Jarvis] What's his name?
- [Alex] Erron? - [Jarvis] Erron.
- (snickering) - Erron.
- [Harvey] So how is this relationship in the beginning.
- It was really good.
Erron was older, he was funny, he was handsome,
he is handsome. [crowd laughs]
Um, I'm a bigger girl,
so I've been like, a little shy, and Erron came to me.
I thought it was God-sent.
- [Jarvis] We have to talk about the three engagements.
I'm just- - [Olay] I was like,
no one gonna talk about the price of these rings?
- (laughs) - [Olay] Cause like, first and foremost,
there's no way that I'm letting no man that
I already have a child for—
think about how much it costs to- to birth some children.
Think about the bill. - [Jarvis] A lot.
- The bill, is like ten- it's like debt-level money
to have a child. - [Alex] Yeah.
- [Olay] And he said children. - Go America!
- [Olay] Plural! - [Jarvis] I know.
- [Olay] Imagine that man coming to you like,
I'm gonna need them-
them rings that cost me like $1000 a piece.
- [Jarvis] Yeah, that's crazy.
- Yeah, don't make me beat yo ass,
- (laughs) - [Olay] Like I ain't even-
she should have- she should have tossed them rings at his head.
- [Erron] We decided that we wanted to
take it to the next level,
you know, because, uh, Ilene got pregnant,
and we wanted to do it the right way.
- [Jarvis] Why did he say it like it was her fault?
(laughs) - [Olay] Right, right.
- Ilene got pregnant, you know how Ilene is.
[laughter]
- Maybe he just doesn't know how that works.
That's my defense.
He doesn't know how pregnancy works.
- Alex, excuse me judge,
but have you considered
that my client doesn't know what you know.
- So I went out and bought the first ring.
- [Harvey] Uh-huh. - [Erron] Um.
- [Harvey] We got a picture of this ring?
- [Erron] Uh, it was le-
- [Olay] What- his motherfucking ring don't even fit,
don't piss me off, I'm sorry.
Don't make me mad.
She should beat his fucking ass.
[laughter]
He didn't even fucking check
the measurement. - The measurement!
- He didn't even buy this.
He took this from his sister.
- [Jarvis] Is it three because he-
that's how long it took him to get one that fit?
- I think so, Jarvis. - [Jarvis] Oh, no. Oh Erron.
- [Alex] That's like- it looks like it could fit on her pinky.
- This your client?
(laughs) ahhh.
- [Jarvis] you gotta find out the ring size.
- A little.. lotion on there.
and it will slide right on. - Why would I lotion my hand
for this ring that don't fit.
- [Jarvis] Lotion, and then she cuts off the circulation to her finger,
and then goodbye ring finger.
- [Harvey] You didn't get the right size?
- [Ilene] No- (laughs) [crowd laughing]
- Did you have to wear it like that the whole time?
- Not the whole time.
- What happened to that first ring?
- I simply lost the first ring.
I think I dropped it in a drain.
- [Olay] of course it dropped!
He have some nerve to look at her like that,
the ring don't fit! - [Jarvis] it doesn't fit.
- [Olay] Of course it slipped o-
look at how he looking at her!
Like he wanted her to cherish this bullshit ring.
- I'd like to hear more about what Erron has to say.
- So the second ring, we were at dinner,
and he just got down on one knee and proposed.
It was a surprise.
He was doing really good, I had- I had no idea.
- [Harvey] Now, you have one child right now.
- No, we have our second child for the second ring.
- That- okay hold on.
[laughter]
Did he know what marriage is?
Does he think it's for children?
- [Olay] He thi- (giggles) yes.
- [Jarvis] Every child you get a ring? - Every time you get a child,
you get a new ring.
- [Jarvis] It's like Thanos or whatever.
- Yeah, after the stork brings the child,
- [Jarvis] Right, you get a ring. - You get a ring.
- [Ilene] Then, his behavior changed.
He started coming home at different hours,
it would get later and later,
and then eventually he stopped coming home.
- [Jarvis] Woah. - [Alex] Hmmmm.
Audience reaction. - [Olay] Look at-
[Audience oooh-ing] - [Ilene] Um.
- [Erron] Well that is not 100% accurate.
- [Jarvis] It sounds like it's 90%,
at least accurate 95% accurate.
- Which is not 100%. - [Jarvis] Right.
- And again, he's alive and with us. - [Jarvis] Mhm.
So she's done him a service already.
- Let's go to you, Ilene.
- [Ilene] Okay, alright.

- [Ilene] Obviously, he was talking to somebody.
- [Jarvis] And he's suing her??
- (whispers) The audacity.
- [Jarvis] That's crazy.
- If men don't have nothing else, they have some nerve.
[Jarvis and Alex laugh]
- [Harvey] And it ain't going good for you.
- [Erron] Had dinner been cooked at home,
during those moments, when I-
- [Jarvis] Oh. Alright. You've lost me, man.
- This is getting so bad.
- This your mans?
- Okay, he's not my mans!
[Jarvis and Olay laughing]
- This is your friend.
- Excuse me!
- You know what- you know it's bad when the lawyer
wants to create distance, like,
oh my god, I don't like my client as well. - Hey hey hey, I don't like this guy!
[laughter] - I don't even know his name!
- There's been a breakdown of communications with my client.
[laughter]
Irreconcilable differences.
- [Jarvis] It's wild cause uh,
his argument is, "well, if she cooked dinner,
I wouldn't have spent the nigh somewhere else with someone-"
oh, so he's trying to say that like,
well, someone else was taking care of me cause she wouldn't.
She was too busy taking care
of the child. - My children!
- [Jarvis] yeah. (laughs) Like what? - [Alex] Oh my god.
- [Erron] I gotta eat! - Okay.
- This is- this is the thing.
- And- ho ho hold- let me say this.
You ain't got no friends back there. [crowd laughing]
- [Jarvis] (laughing) This is a kangaroo court.
- [Alex] Woo! We hate this guy! [Olay laughing]
- [Jarvis] He sucks!
- That is- there's some men, a couple of men in here,
the young ones, that don't really no nothing,
you know, he was hungry.
- [Jarvis] 'Okay!" somebody in the background.
- [crown member] Okay!

but everybody else in here knows you ain't shit, so.
- [Harvey] We have the second ring.
Oh that's- woo. How much was this ring?
- [Erron] $800.
- [Jarvis] Eight hundred?
- I don't care how big his- I'd beat this man ass, like.
- [Jarvis] I'm concerned that they took the picture
in the box and not on the finger,
so I'm like, did he make
the mistake again. - Another one.
- It looks like the same ugly-ass ring from before.
- [Jarvis] What do you think Alex?
I don't know this man.
[laughter]
- It's a beautiful thing to surprise the ones you love
with a gift of a diamond.
- You believe it's a diamond?

- [Jarvis] They were just discussing their stock portfolios.
- [Ilene] She had pictures of- of them being out on the city.
- [Jarvis] Oh wow. [crowd laughing]
- Steve is leaving.
- [Ilene] (laughs) [crowd laughing[
- He came off the bench to comfort him?
- [Ilene] Out of anger, I took it off my finger,
and I let the window down, and I threw it out the window.
- So she did throw it out the window.
- [Jarvis] Yeah, I do think though that-
- As she should. - [Jarvis] There's a certain price
or ring where you even
in anger wouldn't throw it out the window?
And so it's kind of on him.

throw this ring out the window.
