A Plaintiff On ‘Judge Judy’ Worked At A Rave. Judge Judy Has No Idea What A Rave Is. Away We Go.

Because the world is wonderful and daytime television never ceases to amaze, yesterday’s episode of Judge Judy featured a neon-haired plaintiff named Talina Apodoca introducing the cantankerous jurist to the concept of “a rave.” Specifically, Ms. Apodoca dropped a very casual reference to “EDC” — the Electric Daisy Carnival, “North America’s largest dance music festival,” which was held at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway this June, according to Wikipedia — as though 72-year-old Judith Scheindlin would have any idea what that was. What followed was 60 seconds of borderline Vaudevillian confusion, with Judy shouting “WHAT?!,” and referring to it as “a wave” at one point, and finally demanding to know what exactly a rave is.

This last part was tremendous, by the way, because you can see everyone in the room nervously start thinking “Oh, crap. How do I explain a rave to Judge Judy?” before stammering out suggestions all at once. The plaintiff went with “a concert,” Judy’s bailiff settled on “a party,” and the defendant — chiming in to be helpful, one would assume — blurted out “a music festival.” It brings up an important point: Would you watch a show that was just 30 minutes a day of young people trying to explain things to Judge Judy? I think I would. No, I’m sure I would. The episode about Burning Man would be intense.
