| 0:00.0 | Okay, I got a story for you. This was national news because this is a judge out of Detroit. |
| 0:07.5 | And this is a judge that loves having students come into his courthouse, and it would be a field trip. |
| 0:14.3 | So he had a bunch of students come in, and he's talking, and then there's one of the young ladies falls asleep just right there falls |
| 0:24.9 | asleep and he is not a happy camper at all and he lays into her you fell asleep you fell asleep |
| 0:32.5 | you fell asleep in my courtroom and just wasn't a pleasant conversation. |
| 0:38.3 | She claimed she was so dead tired that she fell asleep, |
