Speaker 1The Rick and Bran Show.
Speaker 2Showbiz News brought to you by Michener Fair and Jewelers.
Speaker 3Mark, have you seen our reviews? Doing business with Michener has been the most pleasant experience with a jeweler I've ever had.
Speaker 2That is a good one. Michener Fair and Jewelers, Oklahoma's greatest diamond store.
Speaker 4Halle Berry's oldest child, Nala, is responding to child abuse allegations against Halle. Back on October 1st, Halle Berry was accused by her ex-husband, Olivier Martinez, of being violent towards their 13-year-old son, Maceo. Martinez filed for sole custody of Maceo, claiming that Halle physically abused him in a September 26th incident and alleged other instances of abuse in recent years. Berry has vehemently denied the accusation, saying that she is a victim of domestic violence herself. And in response to Martinez's accusations, Nala, the 18-year-old, daughter of Halle Berry, denied those claims. She said, I never observed anything abusive about her parenting. She described her mom as a loving and devoted parent who is warm, supportive, and deeply involved. She said, I have never seen my mom hit, slap, choke, grab, or physically abuse Maceo in any way. She said she's never seen her mom place her hands around Maceo's neck, put him in a chokehold, or restrict his breathing. Those were some of the allegations against her mom. In that filing from Olivier Martinez, Nala says that she split her time with Halle and her father, Gabriel Aubrey, and she says that she has lived with Maceo for most of his life. She says that her mom has always made time for her children and prioritized what was important to them. She said that her mother has never spoken negatively about her father or Maceo's father. She said, My mom has always encouraged us to maintain, maintain loving relationships with our fathers. And then she alleged that Olivier Martinez beat up her father when she was a child. She said, In all my years of living with my mom, I have never witnessed her act violently toward anyone. However, I do remember Olivier beating up my father in our driveway when I was little. So a lot of sides of this story here. Do you think it means anything that the 18-year-old is speaking out in support of Halle Berry?
Speaker 2I mean, I don't know. It's you would think if somebody has a an interest in trying to protect their their mom, they would speak out for them. So it's hard to say. I don't know. We don't know what anybody's like behind closed doors.
Speaker 4Kind of a sad story all the way around. I guess we'll see what happens next. I know she has visitation with Maceo right now, but I don't think anything permanent has been decided about custody. Rick, I saw where you're going to be in April of next year, and that is at the Sphere in Las Vegas. John Mayer is the latest artist to perform at the Sphere. April 8th, 10th, 11th, 15th, 17th, and 18th. He will perform three distinct sets during the residency, a solo set, a full band set, and a set with the John Mayer trio. Which one do you think you and Halle, you would go to?
Speaker 3Well, they do them all in the same concert. So he does solo, and he has the full band, and then he just has the trio. Yeah. So he used to do like, those were three separate tours. Now he's combining them all. And then yesterday, he added dates in May as well, by the way, in case. Oh, wow. I did not see that update. Yeah. Well, you're not on the John Mayer. I'm not on the John Mayer newsletter.
Speaker 4This is called the meet me where the light is residency. And I'm sure you can just, Google John Mayer sphere. If you're interested in getting tickets, I would think that that'd be a pretty popular show.
Speaker 3Yeah. That one sold out and they added more dates in May already. Those dates already sold.
Speaker 4That's crazy. Sydney Sweeney is distantly related to another celebrity. Any guesses on who it is?
Speaker 3Yeah. I have no idea.
Speaker 4Old time celebrity. Marilyn Monroe. Norma Jean,
Speaker 3Brad. Her real name was Norma Jean.
Speaker 4The genealogy website, myheritage.com determined that they are ninth cousins once removed. Aren't we ninth cousins once removed with everybody. They shared an ancestor named Ezra Perry who lived in sandwich, Massachusetts in the 1600s. The website says uncovering their shared branch was incredible. It's a powerful reminder that humanity is one vast family tree. And when we dig deep, we uncover how remarkably interconnected we are. We are. We all are.
Speaker 3Incredible reminder about how they're mingled.
Speaker 4I guess those are genetic. I don't know. Yeah. Do you remember who Joe Manganiello is? Is that how you say it?
Speaker 2Manganiello? I think it's Manganiello. Yeah. He was on, was he on true blood? He was on one of those HBO shows. And I think he was married to Sophia Vergara.
Speaker 4He was. He came out of several months ago. I think we talked about it on here where he said he had been suffering from an autoimmune disorder. For years that had been really sick. And now he says that he had an organ amputated member. Like he said, the organ amputation thing. And we couldn't figure out what he was talking about because he wasn't more specific about it. Yeah. Now he's saying that that organ was his intestines because he had to have a length of it removed due to this autoimmune disease that absolutely wrecked his health for seven years. The surgery happened in 2016. And as a result, he had to use an ostomy bag to go to the bathroom for a while. All of this was happening while Joe was married to Sophia Vergara. And in his upcoming book, Bloodlines, he says that she was not supportive. He writes that the marriage became, quote, devoid of any emotionality whatsoever, and that she refused to hug him even when he begged, begging for hugs. She also, this is just according to him, mocked him for adopting a five-pound chihuahua named Bubbles in 2019, even though that dog saved his life. Joe said that he was feeling so suicidal before Bubbles came along that he had to give his gun away. As for his autoimmune disease, he sought alternative treatments, including, you know, licking the pituitary gland in a goat's skull. Oh, yeah. Have you ever done that? Anything, man. He ultimately, he ultimately found, a shaman who helped him unburden himself from generational family trauma that was supposedly responsible. He says he is now off all meds and symptom-free. He divorced Sophia in 2023, and now he's engaged again. And he says, quote, for seven years, I thought I was going to be dead the next week, and the world has opened back up to me. Wow. So, I wouldn't know where the pituitary gland in the goat's skull was. Well, you need a shaman. The shaman would have to show me, for sure. What a crazy story. Would you be interested in reading that book? I don't know. A little, a little bit. Let's skim it. Yeah. I definitely want to read some excerpts, for sure. Yeah. Okay, let's take a break. We'll come back with part two of Show Business. You know, we've had several stories about Michael Douglas, because he has his new memoir coming out. One of the stories that I saw yesterday was that he was competing against Kobe Bryant, for Catherine Zeta-Jones. So, we'll get more details on that. Also, Shia LaBeouf is getting ready to go through a divorce. The Rick and Brad Show, on the cat. Actress Mia Goth has filed for divorce from Shia LaBeouf after 10 years of marriage. She filed the documents Tuesday night, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.
Speaker 2I saw the story this week that that FKA Twigs won, or didn't necessarily win, the suit. Shia withdrew the lawsuit that he had filed against her. What did the court say? That it was inappropriate use of a nondisclosure. And under those California lawsuits, where you can't sue somebody just to be spiteful, he was going to lose the suit, so he withdrew it. So, I guess now she can come forward with whatever happened during their relationship. So, I wonder if that is just coincidence that these two things happened, within days of each other.
Speaker 4Yeah, honestly, I thought that they were already divorced. I know that they had been separated for a while, Mia Goth and Shia LaBeouf, but it sounds like she hadn't pulled the trigger on filing for divorce. She is asking for primary legal and physical custody of their four-year-old daughter, Isabel. She also asked that neither she nor Shia received spousal support. So, if you've seen Shia over the past year, and some of his behavior, probably for the best that she's filed, she's filing for primary custody. Just as an, I mean, you know, I'm an outsider looking in, but, I mean, we all saw him drunk in New Orleans, getting into fights outside bars. I can see, I can kind of see the irreconcilable differences. Yeah. When you see his behavior. Michael Douglas has, we talked about this yesterday, he has been all over the headlines with his new memoir, and some of the confessions that he's made in his new memoir. One of my favorites, was that when he started dating Catherine Zeta-Jones, he had to break up. up with five other women the same day on a phone call. He had to call five different women to break up with them. Now he's saying that he had some competition closer to home when he started dating Catherine Zeta-Jones, too. And that was her neighbor, Kobe Bryant. Douglas was based in New York and Catherine Zeta-Jones was living in Los Angeles. And she had a house in the Palisades right below Kobe Bryant's. And Michael said, apparently, Kobe kept finding excuses to stop by Catherine's house. He said, I'm not sure how many times he, quote unquote, lost his dog, but it was a lot.
Speaker 2When you tease that going into the break, I thought you said Conan O'Brien. I didn't realize you said Kobe Bryant.
Speaker 4No, I said Kobe Bryant. I think unless I called him Conan O'Brien. I don't think that you did. But yeah, I don't think I did. So Kobe would have been 20 years old. At that time. Hey, listen, trying to hook up with 29-year-old Catherine Zeta-Jones and then competing against what, 60 years old at the time, Michael Douglas, late 50s, maybe. So anyway, he met Vanessa a couple of years later. So it all worked out for Kobe. Glenn Powell is the latest Hollywood star to express a disinterest in talking about politics and press interviews. He said that over time. He realized that politics divides people. Yeah, took him some time to realize that. He says that politics interests him even less now. He said people trying to prove their point for me. It's like the worst version of a conversation. I genuinely do not like the discourse. It's not as healthy as it once was. He said engaging in politics is not presently possible. I applaud people for jumping into those things and fighting for what they believe in. If I were a political person, I would be talking about it. But for me, my calling is elsewhere. I saw this story in Variety magazine, and they note that his comments are similar to that of Dwayne the Rock Johnson, who said that he will no longer speak publicly about politics. The Rock said politics is omnipresent and it's forever. I don't like it. I hate it at times. I hate all the BS that comes with it. Well, it's good that we're all looking to Glenn Powell this week. I think it's a good time to speak out about politics, and he's not going to do it. It sucks. Okay, guys, that is it for Showbiz News today.
Speaker 1Rick and Brad on Rock 100.5, The Cat.
Speaker 2Rick, I already know what your Christmas gift is going to be. Okay. It is not Tickle Me Elmo, but they say the hottest toy of the year, or what they anticipate to be one of the hottest toys of the year. Well, I'll just play you this little commercial for it.
Speaker 1The ultimate butt-face prankster. Squeeze, and he lets it rip. He's dropping beats, jiggling cheeks. He's full of gas-powered pranks up his sleeve. That little fart. Chester. Always up to cheeky tricks. Warning, may cause explosive laughter and uncontrollable wiggle dancing. Chester Cheeks, from Butt-Face, by Goliath.
Speaker 2It's, yeah. It's a little, it's kind of like a Funko Pop, kind of like a Bubblehead, but it is a set of butt cheeks, and he has a ponytail, which I'm not sure what that's about. You know how, like, troll hair, but it's in a ponytail, and he's wearing headphones. I have no idea. The headphones have no purpose in Chester Cheeks, by Butt-Face. Wow. Oh, that is. He bounces around and farts and jumps if you squeeze him, if you squeeze his cheeks. Not only does he make an assortment of farting noises when you squeeze or spread his cheeks, he also dances when you press his head. Honestly, let's see. No, wait a minute. Here's the worst of the line that I was looking for. He's been quite controversial. This is from a toy reviewer who wrote this review of it. He's been quite controversial among the grown-ups I've shown him to. They either find him horrifying, which I get. Or can't stop laughing, which I also get. Either way, he's going to get a reaction. The obvious market for this is the tween kid who laughs every time someone passes gas, but we also think it might be a hilarious white elephant
Speaker 3gift. Yeah, they're missing out on my demographic.
Speaker 2Apparently, it's ages four and up, by the way, so I think that probably tracks.
Speaker 3I'm in there.
Speaker 2Yeah. And apparently it was quite the hit at the toy fair this year, so be looking for Chester Cheeks by Butt-Face.
Speaker 3It goes, it should be on my, you know, my other favorite site, the Explosive Diarrhea Report website that I play. We are a long way from,
Speaker 2hey, good looking, I'll be back to pick you up later to where we are, Chester Cheeks by Butt-Face. But hey, you can never start Christmas shopping too early. And if you're going to want to get one of the hot toys before it's sold out, you might want to grab yours if you see it on the shelf. So what I'm saying, Anthony, is grab your cheeks. Uh-huh. Hey now. Hey now. Hey now.
Speaker 1Good morning. The Rick and Brad Show on the cat.
Speaker 3Well, what do you think about this dating app? There's a thing, it's kind of like the show Love Connection, only so you swipe right or left, you pick someone, and then the people in the app vote on the potential matches. And the daters see which option gets the highest percentage of votes. That's kind of interesting, huh?
Speaker 2Yeah, I like that. Yeah. I mean, I don't like it that I would want to be a part of it, but I like it. I like the idea that I could tell you who you have to date or not date.
Speaker 3And then the person can say yes, can go, yeah, or me, yeah, or me. But they get some good outside influence, I guess. I guess also the dude or the girl could go, hey, call and really push it so that you vote for, you know what I mean? Get a lot of their friends voting and stuff. You mean like stuff the box? Yeah. You know, good for the app. Pad the vote. Good for all the downloads and traffic stuff. Like that. It's like, what's his name from Dancing with the Stars still winning? Guillermo. Oh, Guillermo.
Speaker 2Yeah. I got to tell you, man, I flipped by there the other night and I stopped because I was like, maybe Guillermo's dancing and I'll see. Man, those, I do get why some people watch that show because they are quite scantily clad on there, Anthony. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 3Yep. Yeah. Yeah. Those dancers are something else. And Guillermo's is pregnant. I think she. Yeah. Thought that she was going to get kicked off pretty soon. I think that's why they put her with him is because they thought, oh, he'll make it a week, maybe two, and then she can go have her baby and everything's good. Right. And they compared bellies the other night and his is still a little bit bigger, but. That's funny. If he catch up, if he hangs in there a few more weeks, it might be tied, might be even. Anyway, yeah, this Love Connection app, if you want to go get people to vote on your potential. What's it called? Yeah, it's in the same. It's Love Connection. Is that right? No, Love Connection was the TV show. It was the TV show, but it says Love Connection. Well, maybe it is called Love Connection. I think so, but. Rivet. Just looking. R-I-V-E-T. Oh, there it is. Rivet. Yeah. Okay. So that's, I like Love Connection better. Yeah, but that's probably, probably going to get into some legal issues there. The people who did Tinder and Match and stuff like that are the ones who are like kind of behind this. Okay. Rivet. The dating network. Built on social matching. Rivet dating. The Rick and Brad Show.
Speaker 1Rick and Brad Radio. On the cat.
Speaker 2It is Thursday morning. Noble McIntyre from the McIntyre Law Firm is with us. Who needs Noble McIntyre? It could be you. If you're anywhere in the state of Oklahoma, use that area code and 777-7000 and you'll get in touch with Noble and his team and they can go to work for you. How are you? I'm doing well this morning. How are you? I'm great. I'm great. I wanted to, I'm going to play you this tape. Okay. Well, here, I'll just play this first. This is a woman was walking her dog in a park and she saw a mariachi band performing and she freaked out and started yelling at them to go back to Mexico. And what she was interrupting was a proposal. Like some guy was proposing to his fiance. They had a mariachi band there. This woman goes crazy on them. And this is, I don't know if we're going to hear some of the. Her yelling at them, but this is the couple talking about what happened.
Speaker 4The park is for people that live here to enjoy the park and have picnics. And they don't allow events on the grass here for that reason.
Speaker 1Yeah, I understand them. They come here and enjoy it. So I just called the police. They're coming out here. They're going to make you tear it down. No, I understand them. We'll be out. I promise. It's every single weekend and I'm sick and tired of it. We weren't here last weekend. Just tell them to tear it down. You're going to have to anyway. No, don't tell me to. Shh. You shh. You shh. This is the next leader. They have to talk.
Speaker 2Okay. Wow. So, first off, beautiful use of the mariachi right on cue. Where does, where do our rights overlap in a public space like that? Like, it's a public park. It belongs to everybody. It belongs to the community. Now, there might be rules on the park, but it's during the daytime. It's not during quiet hours, whatever. So, where does. It's my right to be able to propose in a public space overlap with your right to walk your dog in that space and not be bothered. by me. Like, it seems like we have a really difficult time understanding this in this day
Speaker 5and age. Well, you can't. I wish you could fix stupid. You just can't. Right. And, you know, the thought that people have a right. That woman was clearly out of line. You have a young couple wanting to get engaged. They're not doing anything wrong. There's nothing that they're doing is illegal. So your question of take your question back a minute. But where is the right that one person may do something that may bother somebody else? Nobody out there has a right to never be bothered by somebody else. I think we think we do. You think you do, but you don't. The question is, were the people that they are with a couple that were there getting engaged? Were they doing anything illegal? No, they weren't. Is it legal to have a mariachi band? Yes, it is. Is it legal to propose to somebody? Yes, it is. Is it legal to propose in public? Yes, it is. Is a public park public where they can do that? Of course, they weren't doing anything wrong. And so that when the when the woman came along with clearly a bad attitude that doesn't like people and I'm sure her dog doesn't even like her when somebody like her comes along and interjects herself, injects herself into that proceeding and going on. It's just because she's a miserable, unhappy person. Right. And she's wanting to bring people down to her miserable, unhappy status because that's where she lives her life. So she had no right to do what she did. Now, if the question were, can this couple who had that moment interrupted sue her because they paid for the mariachi band? They only had it for so long. They weren't able to do the proposal they like. One hundred seventy nine dollars can sue anybody. You can the filing fee is there. You can sue. The question is, will that lawsuit survive summary judgment? Can you get a verdict against that person? That's a harder thing. Now, a position like me, somebody like me, where, you know, sometimes you just want to get your pound of flesh. You can sue somebody even if you don't win. You're going to force them to hire an attorney and incur legal costs. That's a win for somebody like me, for somebody else. It's a young couple just getting started. That may not be something they want to do. But to your question, where's our right overlap? Here's those here. It goes. If you're not doing anything wrong or anything illegal, the person who's interjecting themselves into your situation and interrupting you is the person that's wrong.
Speaker 2So but here's what happens a lot of times. And I'm not justifying this. I'm just saying this is what happens is people respond. Sometimes it gets violent. We see that road rage incidents and stuff like that. You never know what somebody is going to do. Right. She didn't know what those people were going to do when she approached them and they didn't know what she was going to do when they responded to her. OK, a couple of things. One, she said, I called the police. What are the police going to do when they show up? And what's her attitude going to be about that when they say, ma'am, they're not doing anything wrong.
Speaker 5We can't do anything. Well, the police won't like being called to something like that because it's just stupid. I mean, can you imagine your job out there is to defend the public, to go to important things, not have to rush to the park because some unhappy, miserable cretin doesn't doesn't like that. No, she doesn't like somebody's getting proposed to because nobody would ever marry that woman. And so that's the true problem. She's unhappy that somebody's getting proposed to because in her life, nobody's done that to her. But no, the police are going to get there and tell her she's out of line. And to leave them alone, it's not going to correct that unhappy woman's attitude. But at least you'll have to go away. Unfortunately, it will have ruined the moment for that young couple. If I was that guy that was proposing to somebody that I wanted to be wife for the rest of my life, I'd be extremely unhappy. I certainly would not have been the woman. The young woman handled it well. She was polite. She was polite. A lot of people would not be polite. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You never know on either side. Yeah, because people are crazy and people carry guns and firearms. And, you know, you do have to de-escalate for safety. But it's an unfortunate situation. I don't like it. It's, you know, people want to get involved in somebody else's happiness just so that they can revel in their own misery.
Speaker 2Yeah, I think you're right about that. So you mentioned getting your pound of flesh. So that's what they call a slap lawsuit, right? You realize you got no you're not going to win the lawsuits, probably not even going to stand up to get heard. Right. But you do it just
Speaker 5irritation. There are people that courts obviously don't like that. The courts, there are some states
Speaker 2that have laws against it, right? They've they've they've they've gone out of their way in California to try and stop people from being able to weaponize the judicial system.
Speaker 5This case wouldn't have been that way because these this young couple does have some actual potential damages in that that moment, that emotional aspect of it. The money you're paying for the mariage, but you may have only had it for a little while. They potentially could have some damages so that that would survive summary judgment. Now, whether a jury would award a verdict or not, you get the right jury on there that says, come on, lady, you interrupted this young couple. You could get some damages.
Speaker 2What about this? Have you ever heard of it? So like the state of California has has passed this legislation that stops people from weaponizing the judicial system. Have you ever heard of a place where like if you call in, if you call the police out to that park and it's like absurd circumstances like that, is there any community where you could get a ticket for that for like some sort of misuse
Speaker 5of? Yeah, different communities have different rules and standards. You know that you can get in trouble if you call 911 for something to be called the ambulance out to come pick you up to go to the doctor because your car is broken down, right? That that's you. You do that very often. You're going to get in trouble. So certainly there will be some communities that have probably policed that differently than others. But as a general rule, you want people to be able to call the police and let the police do the investigation. The police are the ones that show up and will handle that on the scene. And in the moment, the police get called out to all kinds of stupid stuff, but they also get called. Legitimate stuff. They don't like being bothered with that, but occasionally being called to something like that is valuable because that deescalates what might have become a serious situation. In Georgia, just this week, you had that shooting. I mean, somebody showed up at a block party and shot, what, 30, 40 people. It all started with a with a dispute. And some people always does. It's usually something very stupid and very minor. But somebody gets angry and they decide they're going to handle it by shooting somebody and killing somebody. It's extreme. It's crazy. It's a very crazy world.
Speaker 2I just can't imagine wanting to interject myself into something that has nothing to do with me. I think you're right about like, you know, it's a judgment call on her state of misery in her life. But she's certainly the type of person that doesn't want something to happen that does not have her approval.
Speaker 5Yeah. And well, like I said, you don't do that because you're normal and you're a kind individual. This woman is not. She intentionally went out of her way to interrupt something that had nothing to do with her because that's the way she is. I don't want to hang out with them very often.
Speaker 2She's good for you, though, because she probably needs representation pretty often.
Speaker 5Yeah, well, I have a personal injury trial lawyer. I don't I don't I don't as a practical matter represent the stupid. But, you know, I should use that in your commercial. I'll put that in my next commercial. I'll represent you unless you do stupid things.
Speaker 2Noble McIntyre and his law firm are there for you. Anytime you need them, you can go to McIntyre law dot com and anywhere in the state of Oklahoma. Use the area code that is local. Or if you live in four or five, you could always just use four or five seven seven seven seven thousand and get noble in his team. Yep. Good to see you, man. Good to see you next week. You bet. Thanks, Noble.
Speaker 3Brad show on the cat. OK, got this story. Just a follow up. Now, a couple of weeks ago, we talked about this girl on tick tock with the zit, maybe the big pimple on her lip. And she went for the interview. Oh, right. Yeah. Yeah. And so she's had twenty million views since then on her video. So does that
Speaker 2mean she's making money off of her zit?
Speaker 3Yeah. And look at that. The thing is, the zit is gone and the views are going down. And so there's a dilemma of everybody now trying to I mean, a dilemma, a trend where everybody now is like trying to do zits and then they've got get zits on their face. And then they're adding those little pimple stickers that they put on, you know, that are colorful and have artwork on them. Designs on them and wearing those and going into interviews kind of just to prove the point. But it started this whole trend after she got the twenty million. But it has now that the zit is gone or whatever, her tick tock has died down. But others are kind of festering, if you will. So if you want to go get a job, get a zit, just just get you a big. That was the grossest thing.
Speaker 2Yeah. But that is one of those things. That's the that's the most profitable thing that's happened to her in forever.
Speaker 3Yeah. Yeah. The zit cost her her job, but she's just like on zip talk or whatever it's called. But yeah, how about that? And she was mad. Remember, she was a little like, oh, well, yeah, she
Speaker 2was perturbed because she knew that the company didn't hire her and didn't even really consider
Speaker 3her because of the zit. All they were doing is looking at the zit the whole time. That's like walking in topless and go, my eyes are up here. It was this giant white. Well, I don't remember how old she
Speaker 2was, but I bet if she waits a week or two, she'll get another one. And so she could go right back to being viral.
Speaker 3She's in that viral. Yeah. Durr. There you go. If you want to go get a job, get a zit. Rick and Brad on Rock 100.5 the cat.
