  This is a Bramble Jam podcast. This week on your Gabble Gabble. If
• 0:15
  sue your friend for harassment, if she counter suits for defamation, are you
• 0:18
  still friends? Judge Mathis has bits and if you assue a comedian named Michael
• 0:23
  Blaxton and he doesn't show up, do you get your money back? Or
• 0:26
  will it be a thriller? Real people, you'll go, Man, you
• 0:34
  did it there, Judge Joe Brown forgot to say. Judge Joe Brown was
• 0:38
  about to say, you just left it with a Michael Jackson joke. I
• 0:42
  did Michael Blacks and man, that is something. You're a divan. The
• 0:46
  gabble Baby, the Gabble's back. People said, people said, I think
• 0:50
  they might quit. That's what they said, said that I think they might.
• 0:54
  I heard the rumors after Bramblefest. We just said it was so good.
• 1:00
  It's like hard to go back without the audience. I thought it was
• 1:03
  gonna be. It was. It was a lot of fun. It was
• 1:06
  a lot of fun. But we can just imagine. We can't only imagine
• 1:11
  what a crowd will say if we had Gabble Love today. Yeah. No,
• 1:18
  I'm surrounded by the people listening to our things. Well, they say
• 1:26
  he is guilty. Well, they say he's innocent. You've confused this show
• 1:32
  with the show where Judge says guilty and innocent. Yeah, this was just
• 1:36
  about months, just not money. You understand what I'm getting at though.
• 1:40
  The guy from Mercy Me wrote that forest too. This is wild. You
• 1:42
  didn't understand that was? Do you want to start first? You want me
• 1:47
  to? Okay? You go ahead? You know how I always get the
• 1:51
  stories in and say does that mean you're supposed to go first? And then
• 1:53
  you get mad at me because I don't know like what you're what you mean
• 1:56
  when you say things. I typically think the better story should go last.
• 2:00
  So you think my story is better. Michael Blackson is better than mine.
• 2:05
  That name alone, a comedian named Michael Blackson Blaxton Blaxton. Is he white?
• 2:10
  He's black? Thank goodness? Yep, all right, I'll go first.
• 2:15
  Let me introduce you to Jareka Webb. Jaika Webb is suing her former
• 2:21
  friend for five thousand dollars wow, for defamation of character, Pretty Penny.
• 2:25
  Her friend Alueitoyan a keen fum wah Yes, a Lueitoyan a keen fama Let
• 2:36
  needs you to say that full name every time A lueitoyan a kei me one.
• 2:39
  Now Jureka calls her Lua the whole time. That's nice. Lua's a
• 2:44
  nice one nickname instead of Aluatoyan. She says Lua. She Alua is Uhlus
• 2:53
  is counter suing Jareka for harassment for five K both the max defamation harassment.
• 3:00
  I love it. I love it, we both because listen, when you
• 3:04
  get defamed, that's right. If you defame back, can you both?
• 3:09
  I saw them live, Uh, you can harass back. I think that's
• 3:14
  what Matthews is going to find out here. If you've been defamed. I'm
• 3:19
  not sure I know the difference still, but whatever. So Jureka starts off
• 3:23
  and she the first thing out of her mouth is just so you know your
• 3:27
  honor. I'm completely aware of how childish this story is, right, but
• 3:30
  this is who we're dealing with, So it's happening. It's on. I
• 3:35
  met Leua because we worked together at the same bar, and we both got
• 3:38
  fired from the same bar for the same reason. That reason is we were
• 3:42
  late for work. Oh no, is it a one strike your all type
• 3:46
  of thing? Mathis is like, why can't you make it work on tom
• 3:49
  where you fought were and she looks. He looks at Leu wongos were you
• 3:53
  also fired for being late? Lewis says, yeah, I was fired for
• 3:54
  being late. She was fired for being late and having a huge attitude problem.
• 3:59
  Well, and that's fair. Yeah, matthis doesn't care. He wants
• 4:02
  to know why these people can't show up for work on time, because back
• 4:05
  in his day, you get the bit what do you do? And it
• 4:09
  makes you show up for work? Like Loua was like, uh, I'm
• 4:13
  trying to work on it. It's a chronic problem. And he's like,
• 4:15
  how is that a chronic problem? She goes, I just won't wake up.
• 4:18
  I hit the snooze too many times. But I've been better lately.
• 4:21
  I've been better. And he's like, I don't understand. Are y' all
• 4:24
  drunk every night? That's what he says. So Jarek's back to it.
• 4:28
  Dareka says, why we were in the process of getting fired in the middle
• 4:33
  of them firing us, so in the process. Yes. The law goes
• 4:36
  off and tells the owner that two of the managers are drugging people at the
• 4:43
  bar. Were they? And Jareka says, and that's coming straight from them.
• 4:48
  I'd have no reason to make that up. They're not in the courtroom,
• 4:53
  but she seems to think that that gives her some credibility. Were they
• 4:59
  No, Okay, Lou I will say that she never said that there is
• 5:02
  some cocaine. We'll get to that momentarily, Daka says. So we're hanging
• 5:06
  out after we get fired, and we're in the club and a girl's name
• 5:12
  came up that we both know, and we were talking about her, and
• 5:15
  I said, this girl makes you think that you're best friends, but you're
• 5:18
  really not. And this makes her start crying in the club, like making
• 5:23
  a scene. I don't know why this has to do with anything. I
• 5:25
  don't, by the way, making a scene crying, And so I put
• 5:29
  her in a cab. She was drunk. I sent her home. So
• 5:32
  we both got jobs at a different bar together. Yeah, because they're friends,
• 5:38
  that's right, and that's right. And so we walked across the street
• 5:42
  to a bar and one of the managers that we used to work for that
• 5:45
  she'd accused of drugging people was there and he was bartending and he saw us
• 5:51
  walk in and looked at Lou Wai and said I will not serve you.
• 5:55
  You cost me my job. This isn't okay, that's not good. But
• 5:59
  he made me a drink, and I, out of loyalty to my friend,
• 6:02
  declined the drink and I left the bar. Of course, well,
• 6:04
  she stayed in the in the bar, we only had an hour break.
• 6:10
  No, no, I'm sorry, I only I declined the drink, but
• 6:12
  we only had an hour break, so I stayed there to eat something,
• 6:14
  right, So I went back to work. LOUI had left. Lua comes
• 6:18
  over to me and starts yelling that I'd abandoned her in the bar, just
• 6:23
  ignored her, blah blah blah. And then she starts texting this other girl
• 6:29
  that I had talked about in the bar and starts harassing her the same way
• 6:31
  she was harassing me, to the point where this girl has the block her
• 6:34
  to get her to stop. I don't know how any of that is harassment,
• 6:38
  but that's where we leave her. Dareka from Loua says, first of
• 6:41
  all, there's so many lies in that story right there that she just told.
• 6:44
  I didn't lie about any of my managers. None of them were drugging
• 6:46
  people. They were doing cocaine every night, though and she was doing it
• 6:53
  with him, and that's why she's upset. That's why Jareka's upset is she
• 6:56
  was doing cocaine with him. And then Jareka steps in and lies, that's
• 7:00
  defamation right there. Okay, just so you know, uh, and lou
• 7:05
  I goes, no, I've seen it. I was there. I told
• 7:08
  her not to do any drugs, and I don't do any drugs. Jerika
• 7:12
  goes, that's a lie. You carry weed on you all the time,
• 7:15
  and and uh, Massis's late letter finished and lou was like, no,
• 7:18
  I don't, that's not true. I got fire because the manager claimed I
• 7:23
  was later than I was. So she's claiming she was late, not as
• 7:27
  late as the manager says she was. Not got fired, not a fireable,
• 7:30
  not a fireable amount of plate. And she said, I told the
• 7:32
  owner to check the tapes because the management take it. Take a lie,
• 7:38
  lie the management. You would see the management's doing drugs, and they had
• 7:43
  all these drug problems and they were they were doing cocaine with all the workers
• 7:46
  there. The owner of this of this place is of firing people. Yes,
• 7:51
  interesting, it's wild the managers that that's fascinating. So the manager,
• 7:58
  we used to work for is at this new bar. He starts screaming at
• 8:01
  me because I, you know, got him fired. But he said I
• 8:05
  told them that he was drugging, so that owner did fire the cocaine using
• 8:09
  managers. Right, okay, But she wants to be very clear. I
• 8:13
  never said they were drugging servers or people at the bar. She said,
• 8:18
  that's not what I said. He would buy adderall from the servers and he
• 8:22
  would do cocaine with them, That's what she said. So the whole time
• 8:28
  Jareka is laughing and smirking at me, and then when I turned around,
• 8:31
  you know, she's not with me, and she stayed there, and so
• 8:35
  I got upset. Matthis does a bit at this point about you know,
• 8:37
  would you want to be in this club either if you thought she was drugging?
• 8:41
  Blah blah blah, Like I can't believe it's been too long, Yeah,
• 8:43
  Matthews. So I lost my place. Oh we're doing he got a
• 8:50
  place, Lassole, So matth Matthew's like, so help me out here.
• 8:54
  Where's the defamation of character? Right? Where is it? Jareka says,
• 8:58
  I have text messages where she calls me a prostitute. Wow, And messag
• 9:05
  Is like okay, and she says, I also, she filed a false
• 9:07
  police report claiming assault. And he's like, a police report, not a
• 9:11
  like you file, a real one. Yes, but it wasn't true what
• 9:16
  happened because that police report, she said, the police didn't do anything because
• 9:18
  they found no merit in it. She told people at her former job that
• 9:22
  I was a prostitute as well. I don't know what all to do anything.
• 9:26
  And he said, do you have any evidence that she told anyone aside
• 9:30
  from you that you were a prostitute? And she says, yes, I
• 9:33
  have evidence based upon this police report that she lied to them, And he
• 9:39
  looks at Lewis, did you lie to the police? Lewis says no,
• 9:43
  I didn't. Does she have the police report? Do we have the police
• 9:45
  report? We do the bail off hands of the police report of Mathis.
• 9:48
  He looks at it. Eighty percent of the police report has been blacked out
• 9:52
  with markar eight. He's maybe ninety percent. I think by Jeri. I
• 10:00
  didn't want the other stuff in there. And he's like, I can't do
• 10:03
  anything with this, and she's like, look it says it. He's like,
• 10:07
  all that's left is your names like, that's all that's left. I
• 10:09
  don't have any other information here, like why don't I have anything else?
• 10:15
  So then they start fighting between each other and matthis is ready to rule.
• 10:20
  So who So the defamation from lou Lua is that her name Loui? Yes?
• 10:30
  Is that? Is that Lua was telling people that Jureka is suing Louah
• 10:37
  for defamation. Right, and then there's a countersuit also for defamation for harassment
• 10:41
  for her allies saying that she harassed her. So after, because of the
• 10:46
  whole defamation, do we have any proof of harassment? No? Great,
• 10:50
  No one gets money. He does a full bit. We're both contentious.
• 10:52
  You both get nothing. That's it. Great? It was something. Yeah,
• 10:56
  they sound like character. There was a lot of accusations flying around,
• 10:58
  but not a whole lot of actual details. Yeah. Well that's what happens
• 11:01
  when you don't have actual evidence. That's exactly right. I'm gonna judge Joe
• 11:07
  Brown and uh he uh he does some all of your he does some so
• 11:18
  real life. He does some real Joe Brown stuff. Yea, are you
• 11:22
  right for this? I want to introduce you to the plaintiff. His name
• 11:26
  is Sean Shivers. No, Sean Shivers. He is suing for five thousand,
• 11:33
  sixty two dollars and ten cents for a deposit, venue rental, and
• 11:41
  advertising. He's suing Michael Blaxton. As we've previously discussed, so Shivers,
• 11:46
  Blaxton had the head Sean Shivers is planning a comedy event close to the University
• 11:54
  of Indiana co Hoosiers, and Sean hired a comedian named Michael Black. Now,
• 12:01
  apparently Michael is a name that people know. He's a comedian. People
• 12:05
  were very excited to see Michael Blaxton. Apparently he was in a movie.
• 12:09
  That's what I've heard. Now, Michael Blaxton, he's wearing like a Red
• 12:13
  Thriller jacket. I don't know what he's going for here, but it's what
• 12:16
  he did. And he says, Michael agreed to do the show and essentially,
• 12:24
  you know, he'd be the headliner and it would be this whole thing.
• 12:28
  Well, the day before the show, they get a call from Michael
• 12:31
  Blaxton and he's like, I'm not coming, not coming to the show,
• 12:37
  and they were like, you got to come to the show. Yeah,
• 12:39
  we booked you, and he's like, I'll see what I can do.
• 12:41
  Basically, so it's the day of the show. They can't find Michael anywhere.
• 12:45
  They go to find Michael, they get a couple of these other two
• 12:48
  people that Michael says, these two other people show up as replacements for Michael
• 12:52
  Blaxton. He's like, I got you two replacements. They're going to do
• 12:54
  great. Well. The problem is everybody was there to see Michael Blaxton,
• 13:00
  and so when people were showing up finding out that Michael Blackson's out there is
• 13:03
  gonna be too Joe Schmoe's nobody wants no exact exactly right. So they start
• 13:09
  to leave. They start to leave. Now there you know, it was
• 13:13
  just a failed failed comedy event because Michael Blackston was supposedly exactly right. And
• 13:18
  so Michael Blaxton says, here's his story. First of all, I know
• 13:26
  now that I shouldn't have done business with these people. Uh. He's wearing
• 13:30
  a suit that he got from Walmart. Looks like it's from three easters ago.
• 13:33
  Michael coming things and Judge Joe is like, I didn't ask you to
• 13:41
  comment on the fashion, and Michael says, Joe, Joe, listen,
• 13:46
  and Judge Joe says, don't call me Joe. I don't know who you
• 13:50
  think you are. I'm not Joe, I'm uh. And the crowd is
• 13:54
  like like who. And Michael turns into the crowd and he's like, who
• 13:58
  are these people? Like the jury or something? Man, he's got material
• 14:03
  and judges like, they're a crowd, they're laughing. You should enjoy that
• 14:09
  as a community. You should enjoy that. That's exactly right, Judge.
• 14:13
  Joe then asks, is there a contract that we can see? There is
• 14:18
  a contract we can see and he says, Michael Blaxton, what does section
• 14:24
  eight Provision eight in the contract state? And Michael Blackson's like, why should
• 14:31
  I know that? And Judge's like, it's a contract you signed, you
• 14:35
  should know what it says, class and luckily we have it puts it on
• 14:41
  the TV. Provision eight states that you have the right to cancel fifteen days
• 14:50
  before the event. If you cancel within that window after fifteen days, within
• 14:56
  fifteen days of the event, then you are responsible for any min that was
• 15:00
  lost. Michael Blaxton says, I don't know. I don't know. I
• 15:03
  tell you I shouldn't have done it. You know, I got them two.
• 15:07
  I got them two replacements, two for the price of one better than
• 15:11
  me. If they would have asked, I would have called up. I
• 15:13
  would have done a bit online, I mean a bit over the phone.
• 15:16
  But I had a TV appearance that was more important to me, and so
• 15:20
  I found two people that could fill in. And the people and the guys
• 15:22
  are like, listen to two people. They know they didn't want the two
• 15:26
  people they wanted. Michael Blaxton judge job Brown's right to rule. I mean,
• 15:28
  clearly he owes the five thousand and sixty two dollars and fifteen cents or
• 15:33
  whatever like he owes it. He didn't follow the rules of the contract.
• 15:35
  He's out the money. Think something. I will say this if this is
• 15:39
  who this is Michael Blaxton, Michael Blaxon with no t okay, Michael,
• 15:45
  I thought it, says Stune on the on the on the screen American.
• 15:48
  Is he a comedian? Yes? Do you have an IMDb? He does.
• 15:50
  He was in the Coming to America sequel. He's in Next Friday.
• 15:54
  Michael Blaxon, that's him, all right, Michael Blaxon. Michael Blaxon is
• 15:58
  gonna owe some the full amount, boy, And he says, I'm fine
• 16:03
  with that because now he can use that money to buy a new suit.
• 16:06
  Gotam crowd last week and Michael Blackson goes on and that was it. Pretty
• 16:11
  simple justice. Yeah, but you know what with these two cases, I
• 16:15
  don't know, you don't know, I don't know. Let's try again tomorrow,
• 16:19
  another week, another week. But baside next week, another gavel until
• 16:23
