(jazz music) Mary Gibson. Good morning, Mary. Good morning. Mary, you have three different registrations. You have three school zone violations and seven parking tickets. Yes, I'm on the radio, on Benevolence Street. There's three parking passes that they give us. They are like bright yellow papers and there's five us on the show. So, by the time I get there, the parking passes are gone. Sometimes they're good about it. It's every Monday and Tuesday. It's been going on since last summer. So, sometimes they ticket me, sometimes they don't. For a while, I guess she might have knew my Jeep, 'cause she wasn't ticketing me, but it might be someone new. Maybe the parking enforcement officer sometimes wants to give you the benefit of the doubt, but that's not legal with the City of Providence parking streets. Okay.
The only parking passes that are legal, your honor, are the ones issued from the Province. The city has an agreement with Brown on a couple of streets up there. They sell Brown passes for those that you hang in the window. They're like $500 to buy the pass. A placard that she's saying that they just write out from the radio station, is not that. It's laminated, I dunno. It's just laminated. When I put it on, they don't give me one. I'm just trying to get to the bottom of this. Yeah. What's the radio show about? It's WBRU, 101.1. It's a Brown radio station? Yeah. How many hours a day are you on the air? It's from 7:00-11:00. I get there around 8:00. What do you talk about? Just a little bit of everything. I have a segment, it's like true life situations. I ask questions on relationships or just, you know, certain things that happen in the media and all that. But for the most part, it's just them crackin' on me and so I go in and get tortured in the morning, come out with a parking ticket. Well, then you're used to being tortured, so whatever I do to you, you don't... Yeah, you know.
You're conditioned. Yeah, I'm used to it. She's conditioned to torture. It's normal. Everyone thinks everyone else's job is easy, right? So you think my job is easy, right? Well, you make it look easy. Oh, but it looks easy. They say that's easy, it's a snap, right? I don't know about that, not being a judge. People may think your job is easy because you're on the air, right? So, all you have to do is talk. That's only one little portion of what I do. I do a lot more than that. What do you do? I'm a musician, and then I also am a cosmetologist. What do you do, do you sing? Yeah, I'm a singer. I have a band. Do you have anything original, you have an original? Yes, I do. Original? Yep, it's called Therapy. It's all streaming platforms. Let's hear it. I have it on my phone. Well, you gotta sing it. Oh, you want me to sing?
Yeah. You want me to sing right now? The original song. You want me to sing right? It has to be original, however. It's original. Let's hear it. Really? Take a deep breath, get ready-- I'm not facing my audience. Yeah you are, the judge. Just the judge, all right. Just forget about them. Trust me, trust me. You're facing an audience.

So, it's gonna cost you a total $210, but before we do that, I'm gonna have you come up here and help me on one case and see how you handle it, okay? Okay. 'Cause it's so easy, come on up. Wow. Mary's pretty darn good, isn't she? Hey, can I share a secret with you guys? I love to sing. But Judge Caprio has never asked me to, not once.

Obviously. I'm John. Good morning. Good morning, sir. Who was driving the car? My husband, John. Oh. But I left the post office and I had an appointment at the VA. And, I dunno, I... He's not used to driving, your honor. Usually I do the driving. And he didn't see the light and he did go through the red light. He did go through it? Yes, he did, your honor. You're confessing on his behalf? Well... Yeah, I did. It's what happened. I don't want you getting in an argument now over... We've been married for 40 years. This is an argument over who's gonna confess first. He's trying to confess and she's trying to confess for him. Trying to convict him. I'm sure everyone else here will do the same thing. They're all gonna confess. Come up and convict themselves, yes. All right I want to take a look at it. I want to see how bad it was, okay? Let's take a look at it. All right, the light had just turned red. Did you see that? It's on the screen. I didn't see it. I left the post office and I was on my way to the VA. That's all that was on his mind, that he had a VA appointment that morning. And usually I take him, but he had to get there early and he went through it. Where did you serve? Speak into the mic. I served from 1965 to 67 in Europe. I got orders for Vietnam, but they didn't declare a war, so I went home. Yeah. You did four years? I did two years. Two years, yeah? My brother did a couple. He's not here no more, that war took him. Well, you have a great family history in the military. All right, let me tell ya what I'm gonna do. You were 1/10th of a second over cases that we're dismissing, right? 1/10th of a second more. So, I'm gonna give you a break, all right? Thank you. I'm gonna honor your war service for you. Thank you.
Thank you, your honor. Even though your wife is throwing you under the bus. First thing she said was, "He went through the light." She's a good woman. She's a good woman? 40 years. Oh yeah, well, God love ya. And a wonderful 40, married for 40 years. Honest woman. An honest woman? Thank you, your honor. She a good cook? Ay...
The best. You should taste my pasta fagioli. (speaking foreign language) If you-- Wait, she's talking. Ate her food, you wouldn't want to go to the old cantina or anywhere else. My wife's the best cook you ever met. What's your best dish? Name it. You just said something. I should taste your what?
I said pasta fagioli. Pasta fagioli? Yeah, my specialty is pesce, fish. His mouth is watering already. You can tell. Oh yeah. Any kind of seafood, whatever way you want. How do you make your gravy? I make my gravy from scratch, and it's gravy, it's not sauce. It's not poor-- No, I start with a little bit of garlic in the alioli and of course you got to put the pepperoncini in there and let it get a little spicy. But, I don't do meats, so I do just a regular marinara sauce with the tomatoes, the plum tomatoes and of course, you know, oregano and salt and pepper in my pasta. I see a few people out there taking notes. Sure. I could cook a class. All right, we're gonna give you a break on 1/10th of a second. Thank you. I enjoy watching you on television. Thank you very much, we enjoy you. Good luck.
Thank you. You make Rhode Island look good. Yes, you do. First of all, I would like to thank John for his kind words. I would also like to return the compliment. I believe it's people like John and Joyce Cerrito who make Rhode Island look good. Married for 40 years, they're still standing side by side, supporting each other in good times and bad, in sickness and in health. Those are the qualities that make our state or any state look good. Best of luck, you two. And Joyce, I hope that some day I hope I get a chance to try your pasta fagioli. I'm sure it's outstanding. My wife's name is Joyce and she makes a pretty good pasta fagioli too. Come on, how cool was that? If you'd like to see more cases like this one, tune into Caught In Providence every weekday.
