This past Tuesday I had an interesting day. I was known as "Defendant No. 8." This is how one is referred to when appearing on the Judge Joe Brown show. Plaintiff No. 1, Defendant No. 5, etc. My case was the 8th of the day . . . hence, Defendant No. 8.
Not sure if "fun" is the way to put it, but when Todd (associate producer) called to ask if I would appear, I immediately said . . . NO!!
Then, after several days of mulling it over, I relented. I knew my case was strong, even though a named defendant. I was in the right, but would Judge Joe Brown rule in my favor?
The fact that Defendant No. 8 prevailed is beside the point. What was fascinating was how Judge Joe Brown works his show. Standing before him he talked for 40 minutes . . . and yet, to me, the time flew by. And I mean that. I was standing before a great Orator . . . the epitome of that word. I felt I was listening to a Greek philosopher of ancient times. I can only imagine, back in the day, when technology hadn't been invented, the spoken word which was so celebrated and used as a form of teaching, influence and entertainment . . . was an art form. And Judge Joe Brown has this art form -- public speaking / oration -- down pat. It was amazing for me to listen to him.
I imagine that there has to be edits made to make for good TV. Hmmm . . . What makes for good TV in an unscripted format?? Well, for one thing, having wonderful dialouge to go through. And that's when you get a great orator.
It was an honor for me to listen to Judge Joe Brown give his orations. His ability to discourse in public speaking is bar none. Yes, he focused on the case, but went into so much rich information, expounding on "common law," the obligations of a landlord, which he then gave me quite a compliment and stated, "Landlady."
He acknowledged me as a Realtor® and commented about the nature of the current market, the hardships of many. If only you could have been there with me. You would have felt the same admiration I have for this man. He truly is a genuine individual who understands the depths of issues that afflict and affect people. He understands, with his heart, and his spirit -- and then -- his Orations. OMIGOSH!! From his deep understandings he voices his concerns, positions, and beliefs with such convictions and resolute knowledge.
It was a real honor for me. Again -- not because Defendant No. 8 prevailed. I could have stayed here, gone to small claims court and got the same results (I had a strong hand, wink). But to listen to Judge Joe Brown orate . . . truly beautiful to listen to.
Most people have a hard time understanding Shakespeare's plays. I akin Judge Joe Brown's discourse, his orations to be on that grand scale . . . combined with the Greek philosophers' of ancient past. Like a play written by Shakespeare, and the speeches made by Socrates, the art of the spoken word flowed so effortlessly from Judge Joe Brown.
The people in audience are paid to be there. I hope they can appreciate the level of intellect they are getting paid to hear. I felt the audience should be law students. They would certainly gain some very good legal perceptions, and similar to the time of ancient Greek philosopher's, the would be seated at the foot of a great Orator!!
I'm serious, I don't even want to paraphrase what I heard. I'd botch it up.
It was truly an honor for me.
