Speaker 1 (00:44):
Thank you, Katie, welcome units.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Thank you, yes, sure, sorry your honors.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Hi Abby, Hello.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Abby, welcome to the show. We're gonna bring on Lisa
right now as well. Abby, we can we can start
with you. Why are we here?
Speaker 4 (01:12):
We are here because I was betrayed. I gave a
I gave my recipe to what I thought was a
good friend of mine, who then turned around and used
it for profit.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
So but not a family recipe, right, No, this.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Is my recipe like I went to I went to
culinary school. I had a specialty and was developing dessert
recipes and this carrot cake is uh specifically my recipe,
Like this is what I developed in school.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Now, Lisa, Lisa your friend, and I hope that when
you know, when we finished this, obviously, listen, this is
a serious situation, but we're having fun. I hope that
we can laugh at this, you know, and maybe like
a couple of days or something. But Lisa, your friend's
(02:14):
accusing you of stealing. But it's not really stealing if
she gave it to you, right. The problem is, though,
is that you took this and ended up making money
off it. You want a cooking competition or a bake off.
Why is that not kind of you know, wrong? Why
(02:40):
why do you believe that you should keep the prize money?
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Well, I feel like she gave it to me two
years ago, and if she didn't want anyone to have
this recipe, she shouldn't just give it away.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
You know what.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
If she wanted to enter the contest or do something
with it, that's on her. But I made the cake,
I won the prize, so I don't really see why
I have to give her any money. And I don't
really see why I can't use the recipe however I
want to.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Isn't I told you when I gave it to you
that I didn't put it did you what I told
you when I gave it to you that I developed
the recipe? Obviously it was not meant for you to
go and start entering contests about this. I didn't even
know you didn't even tell me about it. I had
to see it on Instagram. But he won this contest.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
It's not a big deal. Like, I don't even know
why you're wanty dollars.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
That's my intellectual property. I did not leadies.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Lady, Okay, what you're talking hello?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Eight hundred four O nine ninety three ninety three. That
is eight hundred four own nine ninety three ninety three.
Let's help out, Abby. Let's help Lisa. If you just
turning on your radio, it's Judge Joe showtime, and we
need to come to a decision. Abby is not too
happy with her friend Lisa. Abby had given her carrot
(04:12):
cake recipe to Lisa a couple of years ago. Fast
forward to now, Lisa had entered that carrot cake into
a bakeoff and won. She won two hundred and fifty bucks.
Abby wants that cash. She says, listen, that's my cash.
Eight hundred four oh nine ninety three ninety three. Contexts
in at ninety seven seven to two. Oh, we'll start
(04:33):
with Katie on this one. I gotta take Abby's side.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Before you even said intellectual property, I had that going
around in my head. And the fact that that is
something that Abby curated and Lisa used it without her
saying okay, and for financial gain.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I don't know, Abby, was it financial gain if she
got it two years ago before the cookoff?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I mean eventually, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I'm on Lisa's side, Like you gave me this cool recipe.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
I'm sorry that I loved.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
It so much I wanted to put it in a
contest and win.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Yeah, Ao my man. And I'm not saying yeah, like
I agree with you. I'm just I am asking questions.
And Ao, my man, my question for you is whose
side are you?
Speaker 6 (05:17):
I'm just saying, she ain't that in the recipes? You
shouldn't get no money. Like if it's that good, then
it's that good. You should be happy to see one
of the concept with it, you know, like it's a
good recipe anyway, what is it tocause I'm kind of ugly?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Maybe Abby, but you know, with you, with you having
this happen to you, and you know, Jules is he's
being funny and he's asking for the recipe and everything.
Do you feel like now this is gonna give you
like trust issues with giving out your recipes?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Absolutely, Like I thought that it was understood that this
was for personal use only, and I didn't even get
like nobody even asked me if it was okay to you?
Is this recipe for this contest? Like maybe if I
had been approached beforehand, I would feel more generous or
at least included, or maybe.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
You wanted to answer it in the contest as.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
A member, as a member of the Durer, As a
member of the Dury. I just need to know that
you patent it before I.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Make my decision.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Is it patented?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I did not.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
I did not patent. I did not patent.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
Don't know at that made my decision. I'll give my
decision the joke. But why is it anyway? I'm home,
I want what is this?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I'll see if I can get it, and I'll text
you love you, Jules, Eric, Eric, what do you think
Abby wants the prize money because it's her recipe of
a delicious carrot cake, which, by the way, Abby, I
might be calling you after this for my wedding because
we're we're looking at cakes right now. But then again,
maybe I call Lisa. I don't know, maybe we do
a bidding more. But Eric, I'll joke aside, who side
(06:51):
are you on?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Who's Who's Who's the one who's mad about their cake
recipe getting stolen? Abby? I am not on her side.
This is a cake recipe. This is a cake recipe.
This is not a cure for cancer. This is a
cake recipe that won two hundred and fifty bucks. She
didn't go win Cake Boss with this recipe. You know,
(07:17):
I used to be a cook. I would be happy
when people liked my food so much they want to
emulate it, they want to copy it. It's delicious. The
feelings that the food brought to those people, the happy,
the smile, the laughter. That's what you cook for. That's
what you beg for for credit.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Hold on, let me reflect on this personally, because I'm
looking for a therapist. Still haven't found when I need one,
because I got a lot of demons. I got to
work out, and one thing that's been bothering me. I
don't like seeing other people do our stuff. I gotta
be like Eric, where I gotta get excited when I
see that, because it's making people happy.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Eric, they're paid you hockey in greatness.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
But what are making money off of it?
Speaker 3 (08:01):
That's the thing. Well, then that's great them everybody eats,
You're still making money off it if you want.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
All right, Eric, thank you, Thank you so much. Laura,
who's saying, Hi, good morning? Who side are you on?
Speaker 5 (08:18):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (08:19):
I don't agree with the gal, but own the recipe.
If she didn't want somebody to have it, to do
anything they wanted with it, she shouldn't have given it out.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Period.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
I had an hand that data had a great bound cake,
and she wouldn't give it out because people wouldn't come
over and have coffee with her. So it's their own
fault for giving it away.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Don't feel sorry for her, all right, thank you, Laura.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Well, listen, I have come to my decision. Got a
lot of people, a lot of people saying that this
is Abby's fault. Abby shouldn't have given away that recipe.
But the thing is, and as I say that, hey,
(09:05):
I gotta be happier. If people do something that we did,
I gotta go. You know what, they're doing it because
it was good, right, That's that's the mind frame I
need to have, and I think that this is important,
like in a moment for us all to hear that
and go, you know what, Hey, if you're a little
bit frustrated with things, it's okay. Like I'm telling you,
(09:26):
I spent a lot on my weekend just trying to
be like, listen, it's fine, why it was, stop it.
It's good. But you're spending that whole weekend doing it.
I'm still not there. Therefore, Judge Show is still toxic.
(09:46):
There you go, keep it, keep it. Sorry, give it.
