The judge was trying to block them from revealing that HE broke the law. That judge wants to punish the person who told on him. That’s all he cared about-who told! A complete SHAME.

[@aboachie1]

To hell with Netflix, Mel needs to go to law school.

[@user-kz1gr9fi5i]

Right! I feel like we need to start a Go Fund Me to send her.

2:30 My father is first gen Puerto Rican-American. My grandparents came to America prior to PR being a US territory. They spoke Spanish but they wanted their kids to speak English so their kids could assimilate into America -that was a means to the road to success for my grandparents. They picked up a few phrases, words but my dad and his siblings do not speak Spanish fluently and they all married Black Americans (non-Hispanics). Thus they didnt have the capacity to teach their kids (my generation) Spanish. It’s a VERY sensitive topic among my Puerto Rican relatives that parts of the family claim Puerto Rico but can’t speak the native language fluently. I rarely talk about my PR heritage to anyone who is native Puerto Rican because people will automatically start speaking Spanish to low key want you to prove yourself.

Ok, errrbody else been on tour!! I say its time for a GIN AND JUICE tour!!!!! Sign me up…yall hilarious…bring all the sisters..it would be a great time!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@justsassyenough2515]

Melissa is SO me when she was walking out of the post office! 😂 Wish her the day she deserves is great! I'm using that! Thanks Mel!😂

[@SayBeau]

Melissa’s hilarious 😂😂😂😂 I fake call my husband too and I be loud as hell so that person can hear me 😂

[@ramonawilliams9599]

Ya'll are a good time! Melissa: I don't have to be nice. Me: Shoul don't!

[@chelseabrown9716]

Trial and court in general is open to the public even if it is not high profile. The public needs to start attending and holding their public officials to a higher standard.

[@daniellemoxey9940]

This‼️‼️‼️

[@lynnayesmith-winters7922]

Depending on the state the judge is elected and if he was elected he can be recalled! If appointed then it’s harder to get rid of them! There has to be an investigation which takes years.

[@dia6913]

MELISSA 🗣️ Bring yo tiny tail back to our city once a quarter until you realize it is THE BEST CITY! 😂 I think we need an in person book club meeting in Chicago to make up for your transgressions 🙌🏾

[@rikitawimberly775]

That story that Melissa told at the end sounds like an episode of Black Mirror 🫤

[@123Tashira]

Y’all were in my city 🤎🤎🤎 downtown is a fun time. Navy Pier lol

[@kaiyah73]

Melissa, I have worked in retail and food service from corporate to store level for almost 30 years. In the last 15 years, I have developed the understanding that we are all humans and there should be humanity expressed between the customer and employee. If you have an attitude, I have the right to mirror that energy if being calm trying to diffuse your energy does not work. I currently work in a museum. There are members that NEVER greet us. They just start barking what they need with no acknowledgement of us. After I realize that is your motis operendi I will either say hello forcefully to force you to respond with a greeting or I will do nothing because you did not recognize my humanity with a greeting. I have been talked to about it, but it is almost always a white person that does this. I do not agree with people treating me any old way. You teach people how you want to be treated by the way you all them to treat you. Some of these folks have learned and make it a point to greet now.

[@Jays81305girl]

Mel tell a good azz story!

[@lynettareese9885]

I agree!! Great story teller. Law school ready!!!

[@CassidyGrace410]

Mel, after working in an attorney's office, I've seen that sometimes attorneys who have been retained will seemingly pause representation due to a lack of payments. So, I wonder if this is how why Woody was talking to the DA without his attorney or was representing himself? Which to me would be why there was a gap in representation.

[@nikkiwilliams5973]

Melissa fake call Kev is my type of messy. I would do same thing at work but sometimes i would actually be talking to people😂😂😂😂

[@mamamoses314]

I am someone who recognizes polyamory. The conversations around jealously are definitely had and expected when practicing ethically. I agree that jealously isn't always bad, it's actually a great opportunity to explore why the jealously is coming up in the first place. Most of the time the jealously is displaced without understanding, which is common; but conversations must occur to manage those feelings.

[@m.joiw7]

Wait how yall just gone start talking about a show yall didn't even tell us to watch yet. Now I gotta stop the podcast and watch the entire season before I can come back. I wanna POP THE TRUNK on yall!

[@thechoosychosen]

The breakdown of Couples Therapy was chef's kiss. Reupping my ShowTime subscription so I can binge watch the business of these good people.😊

[@ctee4627]

You gotta go to Chicago in July -late Sept if you want warm weather lol

[@celinamartinez247]

🇫🇷 Hi from Paris y'all. Mel is 100% correct, def sensitivities & shame around 2nd, 3rd generation LatinX not speaking Spanish, from personal experience

[@KriticalThinker137]

Yes, Cheech Marin learned to speak Spanish after age 40 in part because of challenges to his latinidad. George Lopez has several sketches on the subject.

[@SheaButtah629]

LOVE The Thompson in Chicago ❤

[@EbuniMisses]

HEY MEL! Could you add a picture of yourself (or watermark of some sort) to your videos on your 'I'm not a lawyer, but' page? For the longest your page would come up and I would ignore it thinking it was one of the news channels. The only reason I clicked here lately is because I barely remember you mentioning the title a while back and you and your husband were in the thumbnail. I realized that I had possibly clicked 'not interested' a time or two prior as well.

[@KeilaniFilms]

Ok don't make that face about Michigan feeling like Midwest Liss 😂.

[@KriticalThinker137]

If it's west of the Bronx and east of California, it's the Midwest 😘😘😘

[@waverlynicolew]

Episode 4 of Couples Therapy I had to pause the tv because for that black man to have the audacity to to tell that woman she was not putting in effort pissed me ALL THE WAY OFF‼️

[@deidreej]

MELISSA 😂😂😂😂 I usually just talk loud, like, did you see how rude that was. My mother, girl, stop 😂😂😂😂

[@AshleyCheeks]

IDK if its revealed further down the line (I finished Couples therapy) but he is no longer atheist, thats why they got as far as they did.

[@iAMtheYELLOWrose]

I gotta watch this couples therapy!!!!😊

[@kelleebrown6355]

I just went to watch Couples Therapy. All of those couples need to break up & go to intense individual therapy🥳

[@dreamAngelXO]

37:02 forreal lol people act crazy at the Post Office.

[@avaholloway32]

#YT trippin...They have a commercial with a lady doing braids before this show starts and another one that's 53min long‼Those ppl need their own channel not taking over #GJPodcast with long ads‼🤬#Liss act-outs be hilarious 😂

[@babeegurl2k7]

I watch too many court shows but what if the meeting was to discuss that the witness’s life was in danger or is being threatened by the defendant? Would that not be something to withhold from Thug’s attorney for fear it would get back to Thug and end up with Woody getting hurt for being a “snitch”? Again I’ve seen tv shows where sensitive information has to make it to the judge by any means necessary, and laws are bent when needed. And if Thugs attorney found out about this meeting via illegal means, he should go to jail.

[@daniellemoxey9940]

One of the highlights of week...the post office story had me so weak...I too would have fake-called my husband..mind you I ain't married but that's beside the pt lol😂

[@yvettegmf1638]

This case is happening in Florida, ?

[@carlasmall5215]

Melissa!!!! You betta fake call Kev so Karen can hear bout herself 😂😂😂😂

[@lynnayesmith-winters7922]

A girl I worked with did not teach her daughter to speak Spanish, yet her brother’s kids are bilingual!

[@Alishaspieces]

Not sure did! Sure did!!! lol

[@candancephillips]

The fake call 😩😩😩😩

[@elainablunt613]

So glad y'all enjoyed My home town! Chicago is beautiful in the summer time.❤ Just stay out the hood😂

[@morganj8978]

wait but what was brian steele arrested for? like what is he being charged with?

[@freedomtempleamez7695]

Criminal contempt because he wouldn’t say who his source was that told him about the ex parte meeting.

[@blueyellowblackNblue]

Liss is me, cuz don't let me see you being rude...

[@katherinesmith9683]

Why does that case sound rean Pelican Briefish ?😐

[@TamarahBrown1986]

35:14- The audacity of her. 😡😡😡Just rude for a no reason. Can't stand people like this especially when it is directed at service workers or older people.

[@liteeyes1882]

I hope all the defendants' lawyers file for a mistrial bcuz that judge was out of order for that!!!! Mel, you handled that store situation perfectly!!! Now if she got smart with you, I know you wouldn't lit her up!!!

[@LifeOnCoach]

✌🏾

[@Cutejazz1]

Ya’ll literally have the same face lol
