You live in a minute. >> Can you just charge mail 105? >> Come on, man. >> Don't bring the money to if you you can do that still tomorrow. Let us turn you know that you paid the money, you know, get this out. But as of right now, you came down here, you have, in my opinion, you have no attention to pain.

You live like >> 30 40 minutes away from here." >> All right. You want to do the right thing? >> I'm doing the right thing. You I'm not driving you to >> I know you don't want I know you don't want to do that. >> Why would I drive you to Clear Water? >> Why would Why wouldn't you trust me, dude? I'm the nicest person. >> I'm asking you to show me that you have this money. You can't. You say, "Oh, it's not in my account. It's in my mom's account." You send me this.

Like, >> no, I do use the stuff on my phone cuz if your phone is more encrypted than your debit card, >> okay? >> You don't even know that. And >> I'm trying to tell you, you have no way to for me to verify that you have that money in your account. >> Correct. >> So, I'm going off hoping that you're telling me the truth. I don't know if I take you to Clear Water or you run the house and never come back out. >> I can't risk that. >> How can we make that promise? How come >> Let me tell you what's going to happen. If you do have the money, when you go to court, >> No. No, dude. I'm not going to court, dude. >> Come on, dude. You got to hook me up, dude. >> I'm not hooking you up. You should have been more prepared. You only have one debit card. You say you lost. You got everything else but your debit card. You have no way to verify how much money you have in your bank account. You're not willing to have someone come bring you the money. If you had a friend say, "Hey, I got the money. Can you just loan it to me? I'll bring it to you." >> Friends, >> car. Where's your mom? >> Holiday. Yeah. No. >> Okay. Well, this is ain't going to happen. >> Dude, come on, bro. >> [ __ ] >> Um, I think he's full of [ __ ] I think he never had the money from the get-go. He just came and just tried to grab a free tattoo. He lives in I he came down here one time before which is okay. >> Yeah. >> He lives in Clear Water. I said get a friend to come bring him. I can't. Can you show me that you have that amount of money in your bank account? I'll feel more comfortable if you can show it. Can't do that. >> Yeah. He can't do nothing. He can't do none of that. >> Well, if you live in St. Pete, I'll run you to your house. Grab it. I live in Clear Water. I'm not driving you 40 minutes. You'll get money for you to go in the house and then not come back out. >> Yeah. >> You live with no options. I mean, I give you like six options. None of them work. >> None. None of them. [clears throat] Like usually somebody can do one of those options, bro. I'm not like even even if I'm like if you got your bank account in your bank account that bank accounts can pull away bank account. So if you Apple Pay you do Apple Pay I asked him if he Apple Pay no he ain't got nothing. Okay. Well you're going to go to jail and if you have the money if he does have the money he'll pay it to restitution then they'll get the money on the back end. >> Let me grab you some paperwork. >> Hello Oh, okay. >> What time did he come in? >> 4:30. >> Wait, [laughter] wait. >> Yeah. >> And he asked for that Waffle House tattoo, too. >> Yeah. >> So, you got Can you um You got a picture of it? >> Wait.
