This is Be Real from Cypress Hill.
Where are you from, Esse?
Don't you know I'm local?
The audacity of what happened at Venice Beach, the mural that disrespected the Black Mamba.
Okay, so we know that recently, that one full BAM.
BAM at a bio.
Bamb etabio.
recently beat Kobe's 83 point record.
81 point.
He got 83 points.
Beating Kobe Bryant as the most points scored in a game, right?
For the modern generation,
because the last time Will did it was like 63 years.
Will Chamberlain?
Yeah.
Well, I know that guy.
I see.
It's smart.
All right.
But everybody has differing opinions.
However, it seems like one betting company,
underdog, hired a mural list to go in Venice,
beach and
In Venice Beach
there's like this small
it's a wall
but it's a small wall
I don't even know what it like
A slab
Yeah
slab of concrete
Yeah
What?
A slab of our homemade concrete
But
they put a mural up
That shows Kobe
Passing the Torch
to Bam
Right
And everybody's like
What the hell is it
You could see it
Brownback Mornings 106
on Instagram
The disrespect
And then later
This turned into a betting
company beef
Because prize picks
Shout out to prize picks
They cover
over this mural and had Kobe passing the torch to Kobe.
Good.
You just put Kobe on Kobe.
He's like, bro, how you do that, Venice Beach, me, friend?
Gustavo would not approve of this.
I hope me that's just murals over there.
No, and no shade to the mural list, but they're not the best murals I've ever seen.
It looked really bad.
It didn't look as bad as the Kobe that's on sunset or is it that Kobe?
That's a pretty bad.
You got to pay for that.
That's pretty crazy.
Whoever did that, you will pay for your sins.
Hey, and that liquor store keeps it up.
I know.
We'll just have to at this point.
That's like bulky buy-in turn.
I don't know.
Yeah, he looks like a little bit like Chris Bosch celebrating the Miami.
I remember that's you.
I'm smart.
Okay, but yes, yes, yes.
Prize Pigs did over it.
Now I feel like other people are going to one up it.
And it's Kobe passing the torch two and it's going to be different ones.
To be a meme.
Stay out of it.
Oh, yeah.
It's going to for sure be a meme.
And you can check it out right now, Brown Bag Mornings 1.
6 on Instagram.
Not gonna lie
underdog.
I have no affiliation
to any betting company
but you're looking really
suspicious right now.
Why would you do that
not have to troll?
But I guess the underdog
it would be bad.
Oh.
Still is it makes sense.
No!
No.
All right.
I think that was
though you know I'm not glad
I'm saying to some shismishishet.
Zoola, come here?
Now what's going on?
Damn!
Cheezmation with Angie.
Okay, you guys.
So we have new creepy
details about the woman that shot up
Rihanna's house. So if you guys remember
last week Rie W's house actually
got shot up while she was
actually in sight. Unfortunately,
happily or whatever, nothing
happened to Rihanna. She's safe and all that stuff.
But apparently, like, this story
gets creepier and creepy because
this lady, Ivana Ortiz, the one that shot up
the house. Apparently, she
actually sent an email to
her ex-stranged husband
talking about Rihanna weeks
before the shooting. So it'll be
So besides her getting charged for like shooting,
now her extrant husband is actually pressing charges
and provided this creepy email that she actually sent to him
on January 26 saying,
I need you to renounce Rihanna and confess that I'm better than her.
Let it be done.
You got to let me know so that door can be closed.
What?
That lets you know the extent of her delusion.
She probably thought that Rihanna had something to do with him
or maybe he appreciated Rihanna or liked her music
or thought she was hot.
Yeah.
And then this girl kind of took it way too far.
Too far.
Yes, because if you guys remember, this girl is from Florida.
So she made her way out here all the way from Florida to here to do this stuff.
And they have a kid together.
Yes, so now her estranged husband says that he didn't hear anything about the shooting whatsoever.
And now he's asking, he's going to court and he's asking for the full custody of their 10-year-old.
He didn't hear about the shooting.
Yeah, he heard about it the next day.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He heard about it and he tried to keep it from their daughter.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But he was saying, like, I didn't hear about it until, like,
Monday because of like phone calls, messages from like outlets, things like that.
She didn't know it was going to happen.
Yeah.
So that's what he was saying.
But right now he is in court and he's trying to get the full custody of their 10-year-old.
And he's kind of like riding her out.
Like, I mean, not in a bad way, but like saying, like bringing that email forward, like, look, I got this too.
Like she's, it was premeditated essentially.
Yeah, pretty much.
It's going to bury her a little further because it's not like a-vigues already didn't.
There's a lot of videos of this girl just calling out Rihanna saying if Rihanna's no longer in this world,
things will be better for her
that workout lady
you know so crazy
it is so hopefully he does get full custody
but like I told you guys
he is pressing charges towards Ivana
the shooter and trying to get full custody
you don't press charge he's not pressing charges
against her what charges
yeah yeah you can't
custody court yeah
okay he's seeking full custody
yeah yeah yeah sorry oh my god
I was like charges over
all right thank you Angie
all right
if it's hip pop
you know let these on there I go
Rap sheet
Let these set go
I know the Oscars went down yesterday
and shout out Michael B. Jordan, right?
Woo!
Best Actor Award.
Well, someone also won a worst actor award.
At the Golden Raspberry Awards,
the Razdies, this celebrates the worst
performances in movies every year.
You know, this is the one that we're really locking on.
And none other than Ice Cube
won for worst actor for his
His role in the sci-fi remake of War of the World.
It's kind of sounded like this.
Dang, listen to me.
Get out of there.
Now.
This is his son passing away, by the way, from aliens.
That's aliens.
All right.
The thing about this movie is that Ice Cube is behind a computer screen the whole time.
He's like an analyst for the government.
And that's why you hear all the cliques going away in the audio.
And his son is out in the world.
A lot of it has to.
do with that like he's behind the screen there's like zoom calls there's face time video
yeah yeah the whole time uh and he won for a worse actor because a lot of the scenes were him doing
his ice cube face you already know it it's ingrained in your face the mad one yeah his son
got taken by aliens and his face was the just at the at the screen so i hope they paid
up a lot of money because there was no way he could have got like given a great performance in this
like you're just behind a computer screen like what the whole time you're being judged on like
the way you push control delete or what you know what I'm saying?
Well there are movies and that's a new type of film I think they call it screen life now
where it's just you see the desktop I've seen a couple ones that like a daughter being kidnapped
that which was really really good.
The Zoom call one with all the friends?
Yeah, I think they're on Skype.
Yeah.
And then the Skype even noise kind of gets you all.
That one's a scary movie.
So there's different ways to go about it and people just were not feeling this alien invasion
with no action and just computer screens
and him kind of just unlocking codes
and things of that nature.
So he got the worst actor award.
Poor Ice Cube.
He's a good actor too.
Like 22 Jump Street and 21 Jump Street?
Yeah.
Korean Jesus is mad at you.
Yeah, that stuff.
Like that's incredible.
Even like all like he, are we there yet?
Come on, man.
Playing stepdaddy?
Incredible.
He just is really good at playing angry roles.
Yeah.
Like he was angry in all of those movies.
He can't get angry at a computer screening.
He can't call it a dumb ass.
He tried his best.
He tried his best.
And they did say that they filmed this movie during COVID.
So they were dealing with a lot of restrictions.
And it dropped five years later.
And I guess that just lets us know, like, we're not, we don't like this stuff that was made from that.
Also, maybe he wasn't sure about the future of Earth.
He's like, this probably never come out.
Who's going to see this anyway?
It's so bad.
It's even getting translated to other parts of the world.
Here is that same scene in Francois, in French.
Is what you know what I what I'm what I'm
Dave,
listen me
here.
Degas de galle
Deguio.
Dave, Dave!
That's Ice Cube in Franco.
Might sound better in French.
It's just like Shark Nato.
Like it's so bad.
We want to see it in all the languages.
Oh yeah, we all want to laugh along.
I'm sorry, Ice Cube.
Really love you, bro.
I do.
And I know not to say anything bad
because you're still Ice Cube,
right.
You are.
You need to get that right.
All right.
That was a wrap sheet.
And we got more Brownback warnings
on the way today.
Don't go anywhere.
What's going down,
up front over there.
Yes, we got Monday mashup coming up.
Hey, yo.
Yes, so bring out your oversized jerseys because this Monday mashup is going to take you back to 2005.
Okay, we also got Knott's Berry Farm tickets, a family four pack to Nott's Berry Farm to enjoy the Notsonbury Festival.
I say we go for the Bois and Berry Festival.
Let's just go get jam.
I have some pie.
Sure.
I'm down.
I love Knots.
You what?
I love Knots.
Let's do it.
I'm down.
Okay, you guys have not been excited for something like this in a long time.
Oh, I'm down.
Concrete's not here, so all four of us.
Let's go.
I'm going to have FOMO for going to Greenland for sure.
Yeah.
Oh, like, don't get me excited.
I bet they don't even have pie in Greenland.
I don't know.
They probably do.
Yeah.
I think they have babies.
Oh.
And it's time for Monday Moshop.
Yes.
We're taking it back with this one.
And this might be at the next unction.
Unction?
Yep.
So T.
T.I.
Has that new song called Let Emuio.
T.I.
Has that new song called Let Him Know.
And if you haven't heard it, it sounds like this.
Rent into the check of flare.
I know whose side you're on.
T.I. Vers. 50.
Well, I decided. I was like, you know what?
T.I. sounds like a good little throwback to mix this up with.
So I put it with that.
Now walk it out. Now walk it out. Now walk it out. Now walk it out.
I want you to listen to it.
DJ Greg.
Love it already.
Brown back.
I like your voice.
Rented to the chethe's over
Rew the red light twill ya
Get me gun and won't pull over till I'm
Crin'Shall.
T.I. Let him know over, walk it out.
For the record, I think you could put the ABCs over, walk it out
And it would be fire.
Incredible.
Yeah, I'm still going to be banging.
Yeah, unless I walk it out.
Yeah, we like it.
Fiddy hates it, but we like it.
Fiddy says you got to stop putting TIE on your matchups
because you did it twice in a row already.
You did.
Yeah, last week.
Oh, I did TI.
I did TI.
50 last week.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Propaganda here?
Yeah.
You know.
Who's cider you want?
Who's the sound of the police.
The petty police.
You're petty.
You're just petty.
I'm being petty.
Petty, petty girl.
Pretty and pettiest.
Pretty pettiest.
All right.
Oscars went down yesterday and there was definitely some pettiness.
It was mostly directed and I'm wondering if this is directed at him because of his own doing or just because he's Kylie's man.
I'm talking about Timothy Shammala.
I'm all like him.
Timothy Shemalak.
He was on an interview with Matthew McConaughey previously, and you've heard these quotes that he's done about opera and ballet.
He said this.
And I don't want to be working in ballet or opera or, you know, things where it's like, hey, keep this thing alive, even though like no one cares about this anymore.
Matthew McConnor was agreeing.
Not no backlash to the guy, but he's got a lot of backlash.
Oh, yeah.
Famously, Doja Cat went out and said something.
And, you know, it's like, oh, you could be discredited because you're Doja Cat and you also don't talk to your fans.
I hate them.
She even said, you know, I was like low-key for Black and Better Term, I was cloud chasing.
I just wanted to be in the moment.
All of that.
No, she said that.
She said that.
Yes.
But last night was the Oscar.
So this is like the art form, the guys and girls that are like about that life.
And somebody that really spoke out against this was Steven Spielberg.
We all know the name.
We love the movies.
And he recently said, like, look, in regards to that comment, it's just like cinema.
We wanted to go forever.
Like, so just leave that alone, quote, unquote.
And so now, yes.
Yesterday was a time where all of the stars that fell to away got to see Timothy live in person.
And yes, they cloned him during the show.
Here's Conan O'Brien.
Security is extremely tight tonight.
I'm told there's concerns about attacks from both the opera and ballet communities.
They're just mad you left out jazz.
Hilarious.
Ha!
Like, why us?
Not jazz.
He got the shots during the show.
But I want to tell you about the pettiness.
That's not even from the actors and the actresses, but also from the media people.
and I feel like we would be just like this page.
It's called E-Talk CTV, very different from the E-network,
but I will be following them after this because they knew,
they saw both Steven Spielberg and Timothy Shemela on the carpet,
and they're like, hey, we're not going to get the interview, but stay on them.
We are going to do a play-by-play on what happens.
Do they see each other?
Do they interact?
Spielberg has been outspoken about what Timothy said,
and here's the play-by-play from these girls.
Can we stay here, please, for the gossips?
Timothy Shami is walking past.
Steven Spielberg is right there.
He just kind of made some comments about the ballet and opera.
They are just one person apart.
Oh, his publicist's right at him the other way.
Oh, oh.
Oh.
His publicist physically turned him the other way and they're sneaking off to the side.
That is T.
They were going, Angie.
This sounds like some TV and you.
Like, oh my God, watch.
Zoom in, zoom in.
They can see each other.
Yes, they were avoiding eye contact on the carpet.
They had publicity.
You know, you see who's there.
Yeah.
Oh, for sure.
They saw that each other was.
there and they pretended like they didn't even exist.
I love the petty news.
Just like us for real.
I love the play-by-play though.
They were doing a great job at that.
Oh, no.
There's, oh, they're turning to publicists.
Oh, with the screen.
It sounded like a sports game.
Yes.
Publissus is with the screen. Oh, Timothy for three.
It was an ocean between them.
They're great commentators.
They are.
Appreciate them.
And we're going to follow that Petty page.
It's E-Talk C-TV on Instagram.
I appreciate them.
All right, that was Petty Police.
I'm Letty and let's get into some.
Rollie and oh.
Yes, everyone you know, and even people in this room were lying all weekend because of this new trend.
Wait, what?
They're calling it the 90s challenge trend, all right?
Oh, yeah.
All over everybody's social media, they're even using this song as the background.
Give up forever to you.
Keep it going, brother.
It's such a...
But closest to heaven that I'll ever be and I don't want to go home right now.
Wow.
Wow.
Right, you don't know this song, Google Dolls, Iris.
Yeah, it's good.
Never heard of it.
I just learned this weekend.
You never heard of it.
It was an Armageddon.
It was an Armageddon, bro.
It was when he was doing the little giraffe on the girl's stomach.
I know.
What was like two hours in?
Four hours in?
No, I'm trying like when.
Why are you hating, bro?
This is an incredible song.
It's a real bad.
50's favorite songs.
And your Sentimientos.
I didn't even know that one.
Yeah.
He said an interview one time.
I was like, we're at this song.
Okay, nerd.
I'm kidding.
That's a really cool, my dad.
It's an incredible song.
I've never heard of it till this trend.
A liar.
You're the alt-head, bro.
I've never heard of this song until the trend.
Yeah, so anyways, the trend is a lot of people that are over the age of 35 are posting
this trend, by the way.
Hey, chill out.
I don't know what it is.
33.
You did the trend stupid.
Yeah, but I did it with my generation.
music, all right?
Because tonight will be the night.
I just switch it up to this.
I don't know what this is.
How the evolution of music has changed.
Oh my gosh.
So much better.
But there's also people captioning it on the video that are saying,
hey mom, hey dad, what were you like in the 90s?
And they're posting pictures of themselves when they were younger.
In the 90s.
It's such a cool little throwback trend.
Try it if you haven't.
You do like a video of yourself now and then you throw it back to the 90s.
you were a baby or a teen or it wasn't even you.
But people like Vic are taking this trend and lying about it the whole time.
Oh, what you're like about?
He posted the video of himself with pictures.
Okay.
But one of the pictures, he put who?
Aquid.
Oh, my God.
So it was me as like a baby, like actually me, you know what I'm saying?
And the last photo is.
Which brother are you?
I'm, whichever one.
One of them.
Agwood is a low-key, deep cut.
Yeah, if you know, you know.
Yeah, it's like Mexican-American rappers.
Yeah, like, banda kind of sometimes with, you know, rap.
Oh, you don't have a night quit song.
Oh, man, tragic.
But, but.
Yeah, it was fun.
It's just like fun because I'm seeing other people lie about themselves.
And I'm like, I want to join in on the lying.
It's hard not to fall for it.
Okay.
Because random ones will show up.
I saw one that the throwback to the 90s was the Pink Ranger.
And I was like she did not fall off this hard
Because they show the rigid like what they look like now
Yeah
And it was this woman that doesn't look like
She has similar face structure
Yeah
And then it's like back in the day I was the Pink Ranger
And I was looking through her comments
And it's like, ha ha I fell for it or whatever
I told her talking to her homegirls
And I was like I felt for I thought you were
Oh
It was a white lady?
Yeah, it was a white lady
But it definitely did not look like the Pink Ranger now
Yeah
Who did you guys fall for?
Oh my God I fell for
the meme, the girl that like, did you guys hear that?
And she farted?
In the closet? Was she sitting in the closet?
Yes.
And then like nowadays, it's like a girl that's super skinny and she's from San Diego, I believe.
But everybody was like sending it to me and then I looked into it.
I'm like, I think they're trolling.
Yeah, I think they're trolling.
Because she looks nothing like her.
I think the guy who won was Ryan Garcia.
Yeah.
Because he said he was Oscar de la Oia in the 90s.
It was really good.
That was a good one.
That was a good one.
That was a good one.
What about you guys?
Everybody kept sending me the Mario Lopez one.
Because he just looks like the same.
That's not even fair.
That's not even a fake one.
No, yeah.
And it's just like, bro.
You look exactly the same.
The first one I saw, and if you're as old as me and this was your crush, you will want to see it too.
Jonathan Taylor Thomas, JT, T, Simba.
I guess.
Home improvement.
All of that.
Cute little guy, bro.
Don't even give me that face.
Greg is giving me a weird face.
Who is that?
That was like the man.
Top tier in the 90s.
Bieber could never.
John and Taylor Thomas.
You don't know what?
Jonathan Taylor Thomas.
Oh my gosh, the way this kid stopped hard, you could never, right?
But I don't know if it's really him now because it was an older person that did it.
Yeah.
And now with all the fake ones, I'm like, is this really him or not?
Or some old fool that kind of resembles a little.
You can never know.
Another one I saw that was hilarious was the big guy in the sandlot, the fat kid.
And he said that him in the 90s was Benny, the Jet.
Oh, he was his co-star.
No, it was his co-star.
But he was like, again, I was like, damn, you fell off this hard?
And he was like, wait, no, you're not Benny, bro.
You're the other one, bro.
You're not Benny Rodriguez.
You're the great Bambino.
Yes, that guy.
You never heard of JTC.
You're missing out.
Home improvement, brother.
Ask your mom.
Okay.
Thank you for that, Greg.
Much as graces for that.
Let's get into the weather with Concretto.

Yes.
Hey, that's your weather.
It's your boy concrete from bad back mornings are pound 106.
Let's go.
All right, check this out, homie.
You need a homeie or need some help.
We need your help.
We need a line.
I mean phone line.
We've got you for.
The homie help line.
Gracie needs our help.
Gracie.
Gracie hit us up and said, hi, Brown Bag.
I'm Gracie, and I have a real-life dilemma I'm hoping you can all help me with.
She said, I'm 40 and want a major career change after I dedicated my entire life to my husband and kids.
She said, so here's my story.
I had just graduated college when I decided to get married and soon after got pregnant and had twins.
I had to stay home since my husband was always gone in the Marine Corps.
And child care was so expensive for two babies.
She said, I was a first time mom with twins and raised them practically by myself for the first six years.
I dedicated my life to them.
He retired from the Marines and went back to school and is now an RN.
He's done well for himself and I have the opportunity to use his benefits to go to school,
but I'm lost in what to do and feel stuck because I've been the one supporting my husband and kids in their dreams,
and I forgot about mine.
She said, my kids are off to college soon, so now I want to begin my actual career.
I have a bachelor's degree in communications and have not been able to use it.
I have worked with my local school district for eight years now as a lunch lady,
and I have had a perfect schedule for raising a family, but now I want to pursue a new career.
She said I feel stuck in my current job because that's where all my experiences, and I also don't
know what to do still.
At first, I wanted to stay within the school district, and I've been thinking about being a
nutritionist, but I'm feeling very indecisive.
Most of all, though, I feel terrified to start over from square one at this age.
I don't have it hard.
My job is stable.
We don't need extra money.
It's quitting my job and starting a new career at 40 worth the risk of losing the stability I have at home.
I would love to hear from people who've gone through major career changes at an older age.
Concrete.
I thought that too.
The cast member that you like to reach is not available at the moment.
Nope.
Hungry's chasing a new career path right now.
He's probably going to join the military.
He's getting on his way to Greenland.
He is.
He is.
Yeah.
You're stuck with us.
Anyone in what?
Help?
I think it's just the career path that she's trying to choose is the, like, since she's
older already and you're trying to go into communications.
So that's more of like social media and stuff.
Okay.
Yeah, I was going to ask exactly what can you do with a communications major.
It's what you're doing right now.
What the hell can you do with that?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I was thinking like it.
I did communications to be here.
Same.
Oh, okay, no, my.
Clearly, I got an open.
Sorry, it's not graphic design.
Damn,
the shade.
No, I was honestly,
I'm just like,
what the hell kind of degree is that?
I was thinking, like, public speaking.
Journalist.
What is this?
I know.
Oh, that was weird.
I'm getting, I love it.
She still has problems with her man,
even though she took a communications,
uh,
yeah.
Yeah, she's got the bachelor's point.
That just shows you.
It happens to all of us.
I don't know what we do.
Can't get through to that fool.
Okay, so she wants to know she's 40.
There's a major career change that she wants to do.
She's bad as a good life, good husband, good kids, good money, doesn't need it extra.
But there's just something inside her that's pushing her towards changing her career.
Yeah.
All right.
Could it be a midlife crisis?
Could it be the, isn't this way you're supposed to get?
Like, oh, everything's fine.
I should get a race car.
Yeah.
Everything is amazing.
If I just had a corvette, all my problems would be solved.
Go away.
Is this that change?
Is it something that she should check herself on?
You know, because it's like, oh, maybe mine might wander,
but if you have it good, you have it good.
I think she just needs to dye her hair.
Nah.
You're so dumb.
Kind of right, though.
Every time I'm going through it, I'm like, I'm just going to dye her hair.
Did you just dye your hair last week?
Yeah.
A couple of weeks ago.
Did I not say?
Every time I'm going through it.
it. Dying your hair is incredible.
Yeah. I need to try it.
It's like you with tattoos.
That is true.
Did you just get a tattoo?
Hey!
And I'm going through it. Yeah.
Exactly. Exactly.
All right. Let's talk to Gracie.
Grace is online. What's that, Gracie?
Gracie.
Hi, good morning.
Good morning. Good morning. Good morning.
I listen to you guys every day. You guys make me crack up every day.
Oh, thank you, Gracie.
Is it something you're thinking of getting into?
I know, right? It's funny.
I work by myself, so people walk by and listen to me cracking it up in the background,
and they're like, what are you laughing at?
Who passes by?
Who passes by?
They're hilarious.
She's lunch lady.
Oh, oh.
He passes by if you work by yourself.
Oh.
Preparing.
Yeah, my situation is a little different because I work at a continuation school.
Okay.
So I'm only one I were here in this.
And they're clouding you.
Oh, with all the tolls.
Hey, can I get an extra scoop?
Yeah, they're funny because it reminds me in my.
I'm in a when I was at age.
That part.
I know with all the homies and all the home girls and stuff.
So it's pretty cool.
Okay, so talk to me about your thoughts of a career change at 40.
Talk to me about how you're feeling.
Nervous because I know I would be competing with people half my age.
It's just starting over.
It's scary.
What do you want to do?
Like what exactly do you want to do in communications?
Like you guys were talking about maybe something that has to do with social media, PR.
You know, marketing, advertising, something like.
Because you also said, I don't know what I want, but I know that I want to do something different.
Because life is feeling probably redundant to you.
Life is just feeling like, okay, I wake up, I go feed these kids, I go home, I feed these
kids, I go repetitive.
Yeah, definitely.
I can do this job with my eyes clothes.
So, yeah, it's just, I need challenge.
So I feel like being challenged at the moment, so I need something else.
And I feel like I want to be successful at a career, you know?
Like, it's kind of embarrassing when people ask me, like, what do you do for a living?
And, you know, I try not to be embarrassed to say that I'm a lunch lady, but that's not really where I wanted to be at the stage, you know?
Yeah, you want prestige in what you do, which I love lunch ladies, by the way.
And I want you to know that your work is very valued.
True.
We talked about this a couple months back.
My Luisito, he was choking and the lunch lady saved him.
So I owe everything to a lunch lady.
because you guys take care of our kids,
even when we didn't know they needed that, you know,
like that watch over, you know?
True.
Lunch ladies, you know,
looked out when you have,
like, money on your account.
Sometimes I would run out of money,
and I'll put in my number,
and then they would be like,
oh, you know what,
it's just fine, it's fine, it's fine.
Angie, someone was how to put money in accounts too.
Yeah, I do that sometimes.
Oh, you're the best.
You're the best.
You're the best.
Come on.
See you.
We love lunch ladies.
Come on.
Give me extra cookie.
Yeah.
They would give the,
They try to bribe me sometimes.
You know, these kids are, they know how to hustle, you know?
Oh, for sure.
I'm sure.
They try to play me.
I'm like, I wasn't born yesterday, you guys.
He has no idea.
I have a question.
How's your family, like, and have you talked to them about this?
Is your husband supportive?
Are your kids, like, encouraging you or what do they say?
Are they just like, Mom, we like how you are, everything, how it is now?
You know, what do they say?
No, they definitely back me up.
They really want me to be happy, you know?
Like, they know, whatever I choose, they're supportive.
They're like, oh, mom's making another Get Ready with me video right now.
Oh, no.
I know, right.
So I'm wondering if it's social media, like, is there a category?
Like, is there something that you're really, really, like, an expert on or you really want to talk about?
You didn't have to be an expert, but, like, that's really your interest.
Because that's what it would have to be, I'm assuming, right?
Focus on one thing.
Yeah, I know.
that I don't know, I definitely thought because I do work with kids and I do, you know,
see the Latino community, the kids that struggle.
And the reason a lot of them are here is because, you know, Spanish is their first language,
English is their second language.
So it's that they struggle at school and not necessarily at a community, you know, what's the
call an alternative education because they're bad, you know?
Right.
Yeah.
They're here because they need a little bit of more help.
So I've thought about, you know, try to help out people who were like me.
you know
but how
how?
I would have to go back
and get the teaching
credential
probably like a
person
hold on
that's very different
than the social
I know
I think
counseling
I don't know
what to do
that's a struggle
do you see people
being influencers
and you're like
I feel like I could do that
no
because I don't like to be
the center of attention
honestly
why do you want to do social media
you did say social media
you said PR
She said PR.
That's behind the scenes.
Yeah, you could be the person in the background.
Yeah, like I think it would be fun.
You know, doing all that stuff, going to events and promoting and.
So you want to do like marketing?
Yes, marketing, advertising would be fun.
That's a whole different.
She wants to be a teacher, influencer, market, or PR advertiser.
It's so simple, y'all.
But her major is communications.
I don't know what to do.
But she wants to help kids at the same time.
Yeah.
Hey, hold on.
So all my 16 and 17.
year old like your parents like hey hurry up and tell me what you want to be baby girls 40
still figuring it out okay so let up be a lesson to you it's okay to be like chill and and have
different answers for the same question literally the same question crazy if you get on 40 doesn't
mean I have it oh figure it out no no no no no you're right mamacita none of us do that's the beauty
of life all of us are trying to figure it out the same time first step have you tried to dye your
hair yet and then see how yeah did you hear about that's super important no
I was thinking of getting some breast implants.
Maybe that would be good.
What?
No, I'm just messed with you.
I wouldn't do that.
No, you know.
I don't know.
What just happened?
There's a whole other website for that one.
Yeah.
Okay.
That will have been on to something with the midlife crisis.
That's, yeah.
I mean, you should, but, you know.
Gracie, we totally support you in whatever your decisions are.
The lunch lady with the, with the.
Yeah, that's a good influence.
Double cheeked up.
No, no, no, no.
Not in a continuation.
That's too much.
There's too much.
Put those things away.
No, no, not at a C2T, girl.
Put the yams away, lunch lady.
You know, I just want to really help kids.
Oh, you'll help them, all right.
Those visual learners over there.
Crazy, you crazy.
What does your man say?
Does your man say, well, I'm sure he's as confused as we are.
Which one did you want to go for?
Well, like I said, he's supportive.
He's just trying to get me to figure it out as well.
Oh, okay, we're here.
Let's do an aptitude test on her.
Yeah, that's what she needs.
Hey, Gracie's like, so I want a new job or breastesses.
I can't decide.
Which won't change my life.
They probably both will.
They both will.
They both will.
We are trying to help Gracie inside this homey help line.
Let's go to Sarah and Reseda.
What's up, Sarah?
Sarita.
Hi, good morning.
What's up Sarah?
What's up Sarah?
Vic wants to know how old you are.
Victor.
How I am?
How old?
Your age.
Oh, you're young, you're young.
That's very young.
Vick says you're not qualified to give advice.
Oh, that's not true.
I'm 33.
Don't listen to me.
Why do you say that?
She wants advice from 40 and older.
Who, who, listen, Vic.
Through people that change careers at older age.
Here's the thing.
Like, I think.
it's a myth that you have to, like, it's such an old school mindset to be like, I have
committed to one career my entire life and that's it. Like, more of what's in the, um,
is like to change careers and do what you love and do what interests you. Yeah. And my mom,
is in her 60, had worked in sales for most of her life. And then when I went off to college,
then she had to make an adjustment and like she had to explore and so I know she's been through this and I know it's joking put my mom on blast but look what's she do now
she is an age like kids in high school okay okay okay um took the time to explore her options figure out what she wants to do
figure out like what interests her and what the options are yeah but the thing is like while she was working
she was also looking at other positions that interests her um
But the best time to look is when you already have a job.
So you're not completely compromising your stability, but you still explore.
Okay.
Explore your other options while you're still in the same thing.
Just don't do it in marriage, okay?
Oh, no.
Oh, wow.
That's horrible.
Yeah, that's when it's frowned upon.
Yeah.
That's what you're supposed to be doing.
Oh, yeah, like there's a plan be right there.
They always say you don't go shopping with shoe shopping with no shoes on.
It was like an expression.
I've never heard that expression.
I've never heard that.
I like.
You never heard that?
Remember what I told you about giving advice?
Yeah.
I'm just saying it's out there.
Gracie is 40 and wants a career change and wants to hear from other people that career changed in their older age and how that worked out for them.
Truth be told, she don't really know where she wants to do anything.
She doesn't know.
She does have a communications degree and is willing to just kind of see, feel it out, feel it out.
Mia Belle.
Oh, Mia and Belle.
What's up, Mia?
Hi.
I'm Mia from Balfour.
How old are you?
I was, I'm 45.
All right.
Damn.
So I was calling him.
Oh, my girl.
Greg, bro.
Let me kick.
Big out.
That was not me.
That was for sure, Vic.
Get out of you.
Sorry, Mama,
it's not you.
It's not you.
It's not.
Called the other girl too young.
Called this one too old.
Who are you?
Goldilocks?
Yeah.
All right.
No, Mia, it's not your bad.
You're 45 a baddie and you called to because you heard another baddie in distress.
Talk to us.
Yes. So I started going back to school at 40. I changed from accounting and I wanted to get like into hospital. So I went for sterile processing.
Wow. And then being in the hospital, I love surgery. So it made me want to go back to school again.
You love surgery. I feel like it's never, it's never too late if there's a way that could make career advances and,
make yourself happy and feel accomplished, then I say do it. Do it 100%. Because you're going to look
back and be like, oh, I could have done this or I could have done that. Like it's never too late.
And not only that, like my kids, I have older kids and they're just, it encouraged my daughter to go
to school. Like she went back to school. And I just, you know, my kids see me and what I'm doing and
just being committed.
It's hard.
My teacher always says if it was easy everybody would do it.
That part.
Yeah.
That's true.
Question for you.
Question for you because an accountant job makes pretty good money.
Did it change for you?
Did that part change?
Okay, so I had to change fields because I was getting a divorce.
So my money was enough to be able to support me and my kids at that time.
Okay.
So, well, changing the career to a hospital, I got paid more money.
Oh, wow.
Wow.
And if you are thinking about switching your careers but never finish that degree or you just graduated and you're like,
oh, now what?
Western Governors University gets you, all right?
They know if you've got the drive, that should be the only thing you need to level up.
Okay?
At WGU, you can get an online degree in the field you actually want.
Tuition's low, it's flat rate, and you move through class fast.
No waste of time.
Wow.

We got you over there.
Tell them.
Tell them let these at you.
Yes.
They'll give you a high five.
Good job.
Get a lot.
No, no who that lady is.
All right.
We are helping our girl Gracie.
She's 40 years old and she's thinking about a career change.
She doesn't know really what to do.
She just knows that she wants to be something besides the lunch lady.
She feels like it's not something that she, quote, unquote, can be proud of.
She's talked about when other people talk about the careers, she doesn't feel like she can.
Be so proud of that.
Although we do appreciate and value the lunch, the lunch ladies, the lunch workers, everybody.
Let's go.
to Eddie, Eddie, Eddie and Baldwin Park.
Eddie, Buenos Diaz, Eddie.
Buenos Diaz, brown bag.
Eddie, talk to us, brother.
What would you tell, Gracie?
Good morning.
So first, I do want to say that I think she's making a big difference,
a bigger difference that she actually thinks.
You know, seeing Latinos being in that, you know, in the cafeteria,
you know, it reminds me of, you know, family, your mom, grandma, sister, you know,
all that, you know, family right there.
and so, you know, shout out to her.
And I do have a background in, you know, marketing.
I did do, you know, I did a little bit of everything in marketing from, you know,
publicity, red carpets, and everything.
Okay.
And I'm actually, yeah, I actually do also have a experience in, and, like, tutoring, working with kids,
you know, helping them with, like, film stuff, too, and Pomona.
And so I have a experience.
You have the life she wants.
You're doing everything.
That's what I called up because I think it's important to share, you know, the experience, you know, as another Latino, too.
You know, what I found it to be, like my life went, you know, all around and I did, you know, switch around.
And actually, you know, when I said it, when I said I had like marketing background and also too, Lettie, I got to meet you at a red carpet.
I think it was like an MTV movie award or something like that, a red carpet like that.
And you were really cool.
You know, you were a vibe and super awesome.
She's married, huh.
Wait, don't tell them.
Don't tell them.
They think I'm a monster here.
Don't tell them I'm nice.
She's a vibe.
She's a little.
I was all shot.
I was like,
can I have a picture?
You know,
like,
because I, you know,
I recognize you your voice and everything.
Like, you know,
yeah,
you're doing awesome.
But yeah,
to her,
I would say, like,
you know,
make sure that the reason why you're doing it
is like,
you know,
bigger than the leap
that you're going to take right now,
you know,
like,
you know,
I was doing marketing.
I knew I wanted to do,
a little bit more for like what got to me why reason I called because she said
that you know she wanted to do more for the for the students like sometimes
it's just like a language barrier right and what got me you know to leave kind of
like my marketing job and go back to school I want to do more for my Rasa and
and you know I went to I went to USC I got my master's in screenwriting and you
know I'm on pursuit of that right now I'm writing you know stories to
highlight you know you know the
that only we get to see, you know, that we get to feel as Latinos.
And if she wants to get into marketing, go for it.
It's going to be a lot of fun.
But do know that right now, times are tough in terms of, like, finding jobs in, like, TV and film.
Because, you know, the industry is hurting because of AI and all of them.
All right.
Hey, how old are you, Doug?
I'm in my 30s.
There you go.
Yeah.
He said, what, what do you want?
What do you want?
What do you want to fight about it?
You want to fight about his age?
She's over here kissing your butt, too, and he's going to be.
everything. Why are you jealous? Let him
let him. I don't get invited to red carpets like he does.
Bro. Can I just have a moment of nostalgia
back when I would do red carpet? That was for show Ricky, by the way.
That was for show back in the day. He has
pretty good point about like there's not going to be no AI lunch ladies.
You know what I'm saying? Getting into this. Oh, that was his point?
Kind of. He said like there's, it's hard to get a job. It's hard to get a job in like the
entertainment kind of field and stuff like that. And she has a secure job now.
and there's not going to be AI lunch lady you know what the thing is because I was going to tell her like go ahead because she mentioned stuff about social media or PR whatever go try that now like start making your social video
or start doing that stuff while you're a lunch lady but then I see too often that people get fired from their
those jobs for being too popular yeah like baby girl don't be showing off your new breast implants on social media
because that will get you fired from the lunch lady job that'll go up though
POV being double-cheeked up at lunch.
Yeah.
All the angles are just that.
No, no, no, no.
That's, ew.
But you have plenty of support.
I'm sure you have your family support and you have our support too.
Yeah.
If you get the breast implants, you have my support.
No, no, no, no, no.
Yeah, no, no.
Yeah.
She's married, though.
She's married.
And whatever you decide, we got your bag.
That's not cool.
Crazy boy.
Don't listen to Greg.
And you know what?
Try it.
If you want to try the, like, if you have so many different things you want to try,
try them all, baby,
It's a buffet.
Like career options or a buffet right now that you have your set in stone.
Yeah.
Although I hope the continuation school is not listening because I don't know if you'll have that job still.
Oh.
Sorry, Gracie.
I don't know if there's people lining up to work at the continuation.
At CTEA.
It's a kind of a tough gig.
You got to be built different for that one.
Yeah, who else going to do this?
Yeah, come on.

And it actually won for short film at the Oscars.
What's cool about it?
it is that it also includes a family of yanteros, tire shop pulls, because they got viral
on social media.
They would post videos of themselves dancing.
I think one of the sons would record his dad and uncle dancing.
It got viral and this movie ended up reaching out and saying, hey, can your dad come and
dance for the film?
Oh, that's tight.
Yeah, it was so cool.
That movie itself went an Oscar.
I'm not sure how that gets like spread out.
But these guys are having their moment and as they should.
This is how they explained to the news stations, how they got part of the movie, and how it felt to be a part of the movie.
They never thought about it. They were going to be one day in a movie, man.
And I told him, you know, it's going to happen.
And it's happening already.
Okay?
Thanks God.
I did it one time.
He's a cut.
He's perfect.
It's one time.
I didn't repeat the sin.
The scene.
My God.
Yeah.
Just hearing them talk.
I'm like, yeah, man, I love that for you.
You can hear the joy in their voices.
I know.
in this scene and you should watch the short film.
They're at a bar someplace and some guys
I could sing better than anybody.
It turned into like a sing-along type of thing
and he comes out to dance the yanteros themselves.
On Instagram, they're yanteros 503
and again, it's a family-owned tire shop
that does dancing viral videos on social media
and now they land in themselves Oscar contenders
and actually winners.
Yeah.
That's a great story.
Like a feel good.
It is.
People doing their job but they're just having fun while at
work because what you're supposed to do, you know, if you can.
And now they got an award for it.
Imagine that story.
Hey, my Theo has an Oscar.
Bro.
That's a big play.
Usually you're just telling a story about your Theo Oscar.
That's right.
Or that time your Theo ran into Oscar.
Yeah.
Stop.
We stopped there.
We stopped.
We were there.
We were there.
We got to stop.
All right.
That was so, you know, I'm local.
Let's get into some.
She's amazing.
Zoola, come here?
Now what's going on?
Damn!
She's Mason with Angie.
All right.
Speaking of the Oscars, we got us started off with
congratulating Santa Ana's own
Michael B. Jordan.
Okay, you're from San Diego.
You're from Sanana.
Do you know where this one went to school or do you know?
Okay, well, no, because he moved like when he was two,
but we still claim him.
Hey, he was born where he was born.
He was born.
Frances.
Yes, he didn't go to a singer's
He did not go to Stakers from, though.
He did not.
But he was born.
And his little birth certificate says Sananaana.
So we will play man.
Wow.
Let's go.
That's crazy.
Yeah, but what's really cool is the way he celebrated it because, like, you see videos.
His win.
Yeah, his win.
You see videos of him actually going to an in and out.
And Homeboy is like with his Oscar trophy, just eating.
I know.
The whole crowd is just watching him.
Oh my God.
Look, he took another bite.
Like, everybody is so excited.
Yeah, they are turned up the same way they were turned up when they used to say 6-7.
and everybody's screaming.
Yes.
Oh, yes.
We're screaming for Michael B. Jordan
and be at In and Out.
It's the one that's close by to...
Yeah.
You can walk there from the Dolby Theater.
That's where the Oscars took place.
Amazing.
You can literally just walk down that street and be there.
And it's a lot faster than being in the car because that's a...
True.
And then I saw what he was eating.
He ate like a three by three.
Oh, gosh.
He was hungry.
What?
A three by three?
That's three patties?
Yeah.
I'd be getting that sometimes.
Honestly, yeah.
You get that?
I actually got that last week.
But I was hungry.
Protein style.
They're packed.
Patti is really thin.
Hold up.
I have never seen.
Gaines.
And yet, wait, wait.
Okay, so it's protein style three by three?
That's what y'all get?
No, I get the bread.
I get the bread.
Put the carb on it.
Come on.
I'll do something to bring this off.
The months I've had is six.
And they can't sell you, they can't sell you more patties after that.
So they'll sell it to you separately.
Yeah, so it's six is a limit.
I'm learning so much today.
After that, you have to buy them by single patties.
I get a regular little cheeseburger with, I thought I was doing something,
asking for girl onions.
instead of the regular.
So he got a three by three.
Yeah, he did.
And everybody was just watching him, like Vic was saying.
But he was really cool because he was honestly just chilling
and he was actually taking pictures signing autographs, things like that.
So big props to you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We went to Michael Be George.
And that win is incredible.
Sinners is a great film.
And everybody's just really happy.
You beat Timothy Shammala.
I'm like him.
Yes.
He did it for ballet and for opera.
So the biggest loser of the next.
night I do have to say it was actually like you said that the Timothy Shalamee because this
full was getting dragged the whole night and it started off when Conan actually started taking
shots at him and it's because of his recent comments that he would say like nobody cares about
ballet or opera so yeah the the show started out with Conan roasting him security is extremely
tight tonight I'm told there's concerns about attacks from both the opera and ballet communities
they're just mad you left out jazz
that was the first shot
because then a director actually won an award
and he went up there and he took his time
to throw shots again to Timothy
we believe that art can change people's souls
maybe it takes 10 years time
but we can change society through art
through creativity through theater and ballet
so the crowd was actually booing when he said like
through theater and ballet
yeah we got this all night
yeah what else Angie
Dude, so then the thing that everybody kept talking about was the tie that happened on stage
because that hasn't happened in like over a decade.
A tie?
Yeah, nobody even knew that was actually a thing.
So there was an actual tie for Best Life Action short film.
And this was the one I was talking about.
Yeah.
And everybody, yeah, yeah, everybody was shocked because even like the presenter was saying like,
wait, I'm not joking, guys.
And the Oscar goes to, it's a tie.
I'm not joking.
It's actually a tie.
So everyone, calm down.
We're going to get through this.
Focus up.
I'm calm down to remain calm.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That happened.
The last time that happened was 2013.
I never heard that even in 2018.
I never heard that.
A tie?
What the hell is the point of the award show then?
That's what I was saying.
What were you guys doing in 2013?
You weren't paying attention to who won the Oscars.
No.
You're very right.
You're very right.
Not at all.
But I'm saying like what's the whole point?
There's supposed to be a winner and a loser.
That's like the Super Bowl being like, you know what?
There's a tie.
You know, these are two really good teams.
Draws happen.
But not during like a winner take all.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, that's a thing, yeah, draws can happen, but not for something like this.
I know.
There's a winner.
There's a loser.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, but it happened.
Both of them went up there, got their award, did their whole speech and things like that.
Oh, crazy.
But, okay, so you guys remember a couple of weeks ago how La Roche Zendaya's bestie and
Stylia's, was out here saying like, oh, my God, yes.
He told on her, Zendaya's homie told on her.
Yeah, saying that she got me.
You got it.
Dude.
They were supposed to, no one knew they were married.
No one knew they were married.
But then last night, La Roe.
actually was on the red carpet and everyone kept asking him like fool is that this really happened
and he kept just dodging the question did the way it happened or it didn't happen
know what i really wanted those chanelle shoes that just dropped the other day but i didn't
make it to the story time so hopefully i can still get him thank you oh wow he just kept
deflecting yeah yeah the whole thing that that would blow up the way that it did i think the weather is
really amazing today it's so sunny it's a little warm but it's beautiful
The whole time he was just avoiding it.
What a jerk.
I'm thinking he's very smart.
He probably got in trouble with Zendaya.
No, it's just the way everyone twisted it.
You think so?
Yeah, people twisted too much.
You get tired of people twisting your words.
So he's like, yeah, I'm not going to give you content.
Damn, because he did go out and he tweeted, say, what was said?
Zendaya's his homie still.
Yeah, he did style her, but I was thinking, I'm like,
Angie, she's not going to be mad if she let him style him.
I don't know.
I was just thinking, like, maybe that's why he keeps avoiding everything
because there was, like, a big rumor on the red carpet that,
that La Roche was actually seen texting somebody in the middle of the show
and people are thinking like he's probably texting Sondaya
because they were not in life
It was just his mom she needed like groceries or something like
Setting his alarm bro
I know
Leave alone
Thank you guys
If it's hip pop
You know let these on
Yeah go
Rep sheet
Let these set go
All right Drake Kive
I'm talking to you over there
Y'all are either like super genius or super idiots
We'll find out.
All right.
Okay, so Ice Man.
Everybody wants to see Ice Man out, right?
Yes.
So they have came up with the conspiracy theory about when this album is going to come out.
Oh.
This is your people.
These are my people.
They're supposed to come out in October and then December and then nobody really knows.
Okay.
Yeah.
So you haven't gotten a release date.
No.
But he did post.
Drake did post like a photo to his Instagram story.
It featured an old Bell Canada ad and the 416.
area code, okay?
So because of that,
Drake fans are like,
oh my gosh, if you add a one to
that because you have to dial out
like to the U.S., like plus one
or whatever, that's one plus
four, one six.
Therefore,
April 17 is
for April 16 plus one
417, that's on the album
is going to come out. I believe it. That's so dumb.
No, I believe it.
Yes. They did their
little, what is it?
Numerology.
Yeah, numerology.
So it's 4161 because they added the one because that's the country code.
But that's our country code, isn't it?
It's not Canada's.
I don't know about Canada.
The one is the USA country code.
Okay, so definitely the USA Drake Hyde that did this.
So they did the 4 is April and then the 1-6 plus the one country code is 17.
So 4-17-17s on Friday.
So they're four.
They're just trying to make sense.
Therefore, Drake is dropping Iceman.
417, according to Drake High.
416 is the aerial code of Toronto.
I know, plus one.
The country code of the USA to call here.
I think, I mean, it would make more sense if it was just 416.
Yeah, no, no, no.
They're putting the extra on it just because it's a Friday.
They wanted it to be Friday, yeah.
Who cares if it drops on Thursday or Friday?
It'll be Thursday here, technically, when it drops anyway, 9 p.m.
Oh, you're right.
So it's like, bro, just 416.
Why do you got to make it more complicated?
Just drop it now, Drake.
But even then.
They're going crazy, Jake.
They're that one meme that's putting all the numbers together.
Yeah, putting the red strings on the board.
All that.
Help them out.
Your little baby.
No.
I don't know if it's ever going to drop, to be honest.
Facts.
At this point, it's starting to look like he got cold feet, Iceman.
Everybody's posting like GTA 6 or Iceman.
What's coming out first?
Detox.
Yeah.
Now you know what we went through, brother.
Everything was detox is dropping.
Hey, you guys want to see.
at L-AFC game?
We did.
Talk about it.
Had the best time ever.
I love going to L-A-C games.
It's always a vibe.
But it's always better
when there's giveaways.
Okay.
Yeah, when you get free stuff.
When you get free stuff?
What's your game?
A bandana.
Oh, that was him in his own.
Oh, my God, letty.
Tell me why the whole time
we were at the game,
this foot was just fidgeting with a bandana.
And I was like, what the hell is Vick doing?
Come to find that on social media
that he was making a video.
He was trying to reenact Ray J in a famous interview.
He was like,
his, what is it, his beanie?
It was his beanie.
His beanie.
Oh, the beanie.
Every time the camera angle pan to him and Vic wanted to do the same.
Why did one of you, but like, like, he looked cool.
Yeah, you look like, there was one when you look like Little Red Riding Hood.
You're like a batty on her running journey.
Oh, when I had my baboosh gone?
Is that what it is?
Yeah.
I don't know that.
But the whole time I was like, what the hell is he doing?
And I was trying to be nosy, like, asking what he was doing.
He was like, don't worry.
Don't worry about it.
I was having a great time.
It was fashion.
And people also thought I looked upset and not happy to be there.
False.
Okay.
I just try to put a fashion face off.
No, no, no, no.
That's just his face, you guys.
All the time.
You know how you can never tell if a bulldog is upset or not?
That's Vic.
You can never tell what the emotions are.
I had a great time.
I was getting mad.
Like, what?
Do you guys know how much I love L.A.F.C. games?
Yeah.
My dad sent it to me.
He's like, is it Vick okay?
Yeah.
Is it going through it?
And they're like, why aren't you wearing a hat?
There's so many questions.
I'm like, bro, I'm just having a good time.
I just got a haircut.
I didn't want to wear it.
And it was bandana day, so I knew I was going to do my thing.
Okay, you didn't even know it was bandana day, fool.
Okay, I didn't, but I didn't want to wear a hat.
Okay.
Shout out of Toyota, right?
Yeah, shout out of Toyota.
Honestly, the seats were incredible.
We got free food too.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, they hooked us up.
Did you guys go to that section?
What is it?
The five, uh, no, that's like a cross.
You can't sit if you're over there.
You just got to like hit the drums, too.
It's like, you're like working.
Yeah, you're in a rock band.
Yeah, you're not going to lie.
I was a little bit mad.
I was like, oh, what is?
Do we want my bestie?
It was so gross.
He was not having fun.
Yeah.
And you guys were sitting next to each other.
I was, having fun.
You guys were taking pictures together.
We were.
Yeah, we were.
Yeah, we even coordinated the polls.
All right, you go this way?
I go this one.
Wow.
What's happening?
Real bestie activities.
No, you weren't.
Stop lying.
Why are you denying me now?
I think they want to go eat after.
You better.
You better.
You better.
We all left separately.
Yes, we did.
Why do you say that?
Now it's weird.
That's weird.
I was talking about besties.
Not boyfriend, girlfriend.
I didn't say Jordan and Marcus need to watch out.
Okay, good, good, good.
But now, Jordan and Marcus, watch out.
We all left separately.
We went to our own house.
Yes.
And we didn't text after.
No, and make sure, ask you.
All right.
Shout out LAMC.
Shout at Toyota.
Some make money move.
All right, my friends.
If you're ever in the, what is it,
Sanamonic area type of deal.
when you're driving down that PCH and all of that.
And you see two very recognizable houses.
They're beach houses.
One's all black.
And then one is like Barbie pink and purple.
Oh, that's cool.
So everyone's like my two moods.
Yeah.
Right.
My emo mood and my glitter mood.
Well, this Barbie house is now available for rentation.
Oh, that's tight.
You can rent it for the low price of $38,000, $500, $500 per month.
$38,500.
dollars per month.
Oh.
Pocket change.
Three bedroom.
2,822 square foot house.
Wow, that's a lot of square footage.
Three bedrooms?
Yes, three bedrooms.
It's probably like one on each floor.
I don't know.
This thing looks huge, by the way.
I don't know if it's just three bedrooms.
It's a tall house.
Yeah.
Stunning Ocean Views, unique location next to a black house is what they're saying.
Hey, but this would be tight to kind of go by and be like, 38,000 a month?
Yes.
It's a lot.
What famous house would you rent if it's not the Barbie house?
It would be the,
The Iron Man House.
The Iron Man House?
Yeah, the one that's over the cliff.
Oh, that's crazy.
Oh, I wonder if it's for real.
It's a real house, isn't it?
I'm not too sure.
I don't think so.
I feel like that one of the CGI a little bit, a little bit.
Don't break my heart like that.
Google if the Iron Man House is real.
I thought you made his suit because he lives in the suit, but anybody else, a famous house you would want.
Oh, yes.
I was thinking like the Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
Oh, my God.
Oh, yeah.
Just to be like, yeah, just to be like, ha-ha, they were here.
This is where Will was crying because nobody wanted.
Run around the sala?
It's not real, right?
I don't let me, man.
Hold on, Greg, just found out.
It is CGI.
Yeah, bro.
I thought you wouldn't know that.
I thought it was kind of obvious.
Like Malibu.
No.
There's houses that are crazy like that.
Back cave's not real either, just so you know.
Yeah.
Okay.
What?
Well, there's that.
The Barbie house over there and PCH is available for rent for one of our rich homies.
All right.
Let's get into some studious foo.
Where's our guy concrete?
Hey, Scott.
Hell of studious.
Nine plus ten.
Turn your line?
Look at this studious food.
All right, but if those studios food from Monday, Monday, Monday, March 16th.
Ever wonder?
Yes, I wonder all the time, con.
It's so crazy.
Have you ever had the thought of being in a monogamous relationship?
Yeah, you should be a monogamous.
You know what?
Non-monogamous.
Oh, non-monogamous.
You're not alone.
That means two people, right?
No, that means you don't.
You and more.
You and, you and.
So why don't you just say polyamorous?
Wait, what's that?
Oh, that sounds better, polyamorous.
Yeah, that's one you have multiple partners.
Well, let me tell you, you're not alone, Greg.
Yeah, I know.
Because 32% of U.S. adults say that their ideal relationship is non-monogamous, polyamorous.
Polyamorous.
What?
I wish.
Like, there's multiple girls that I like, and I wish I could have them all be nice to each other and meet each other and we all be one happy family.
Okay, Neil.
What?
I swear.
I like a personality from this girl.
I like a personality.
You think you can handle all those girls, bro?
The way he talks back about the time girls.
want the things girls want.
And that's the thing.
And imagine table for five at Nobu?
No, not at once.
Fool, that's going to run you at least a couple grand.
Hell yeah.
But we don't have to have to hang out at one time.
Just me taking my girl off.
Who runs me about a couple grand?
Baby after babysitting and everything, though?
Yeah.
I want to hang out with one girl this week.
I want to hang out with another girl this week.
I want to like, I want to switch it up.
Yeah.
So you're part of 32% that wants to be in a non-monogamous relationship?
Yeah.
I wish.
And it'd be cool with you if they also had another guy they saw the next day.
and then another guy they saw the next day?
No.
No.
Why?
Because you wouldn't be cool with herpes.
Yeah.
He's going to give it to them.
Yeah.
He's the one's running.
Craig's going to give it to you.
Shut up, Craig.
Yeah.
Stay smart, Perritos.
Let's go.
Hello, Studius.
Look at this, Sturias house food.
Leave me alone, Craig.
Shoot the J.
Shoot it.
Playball.
All right.
Look, as you guys know,
I'm a big.
big wrestling fan and AEW Revolution went down yesterday at Crypto.com Arena. AEW is like known as
like an alternative to WWE. WWE is like the biggest, you know, kind of brand. But yeah,
AEW is making its way and I'm a big fan of it. Great wrestling. Yesterday it was completely sold out,
you guys. The crypto.com arena is completely sold out to watch men in tights. All right, it was amazing.
But they were all there to see MJF, aka Maxwell Jacob Friedman. He's like, I guess you
say Lita, like they're John Sina.
Like he's that guy.
Yeah, he's that guy.
It was actually his 30th birthday yesterday.
So he's a world champion, AEW world champion.
But before all that happened.
And he's John Sina?
Like he's their John Sina?
He's that level.
Yeah, he's their guy.
He's the number one guy in the company.
Wow.
But before all that happened, he came to the station to have a talk with me, but he ended up
cooking me.
All right?
So he cut a promo on me.
And if you guys don't know what to...
What is cut a promo?
I'm not explained.
I'm explaining.
I'm explained.
Did you like it?
No.
So if you don't know what a promo is, it's like a monologue where you kind of like.
Did you even separate cars after?
We did.
You promote yourself.
You'll be like talking like, I'm the best because I'm this, I'm that.
But you can also cut a promo on someone else.
And it's kind of like a disc track.
Oh.
Yeah, it's like a disc track.
Like, oh, I cut a promo on him.
Like you're like you, that means you dissed them.
Yeah.
I never heard that.
So I asked him.
I said, could you cut a promo on me?
And this is what he said.
You say that you have a promo for pretty much anybody.
in the business at any given time.
Can you cut a promo on me?
I feel like God already did, man.
How's that for a promo on you?
You look rough.
He cooked me.
That was really easy, too.
He cooked me.
He had that in his mind the whole time.
He didn't even let me finish.
I was like, no holds bar.
He's like, God Dardy did.
And I'm like, all right.
That's a good one.
You know the thing about Vick?
We've actually talked about this, Vic.
What?
We've actually talked about this like Jose Smiley

Oh, let's go.
Come on Greg.
Cut a promo on me, bro.
This guy with a beard?
Yeah.
Even beard right now?
Oh, your beard is uneven.

Yeah, I see it.
He's still smiling about it.
That's the best you got.
Is that the best you got?
Oh, that's the best I got?
Oh, he's trying to make a comeback now.
Uh-huh.
No, you can't do that.
He's not me.
Oh.
Yeah.
Oh.
Get it back in my phone.
Cut a problem on Greg.
Oh, cut a problem on Greg.
At least he has a beard.
You have a, what do you got?
A patch.
A patch.
It's called a cold tea.
No, you got a sheep tea because I didn't know goatee.
It's what a grown man has these days.
Oh, you know, a grown man.
Oh, boy, boy.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my goodness.
Yeah, let that.
Strangley, y'all, never been in the AEDW.
Amazing.
Thank you so much, Victor.
And we have a special.
guest today. We do. Charmelle Lee who's a special education assistant who has worked for
LA Unified for more than 20 years. Wow that's freaking awesome you do the best of our
work out here working with kids in special education so thank you so much for joining us.
No problem good morning everybody now Charmel you work at LAUSD and right now the workers
are negotiating a contract with the district let me start there how are negotiations
going. The negotiations are very difficult right now. Like many of your listeners, working people
are struggling with the cost of living. Our members are no different. And in many cases, they're
facing very serious hardship. Oh, yeah. These are the workers who feed the students, clean
schools, assist children with disabilities and drive buses. Yet many of them are struggling
afford rent, groceries, basic necessities. Yeah, Sharmelle, you've worked in the district a long time.
That's 22 years.
What does that struggle look like from your perspective, everything that's going on?
After working in this district for that long, at one point I was actually living on Skid Row with my children while working for the district.
Oh, my gosh.
Yes.
I didn't miss a day of work.
Still how to go at it.
Showed up with a smile every day because my students deserved an assistant that was there for them.
Was there present?
Yes.
What got you into this, Sharma?
Well, I've been with special ed, my mom, my family.
We've been three, four generations now.
Oh, my goodness.
And what is, like, with this negotiation stuff that's going on, Charmel, what is the district offering you?
Not enough.
Nothing, nothing that positively affects us.
In fact, our members voted 97% to authorize a strike vote.
They're retaliating against us at every point.
65% of us struggle to afford groceries.
10 have experienced homelessness like myself.
99% can't even afford a one bedroom in Los Angeles.
So that's where we are with L.A. Unified.
And what exactly are workers asking for?
The workers are asking for like basic necessities, affordable housing, groceries,
health care just to be able to take care of their families.
They're asking for no layoffs.
They're asking for more hours.
They're asking for clean, safe, supportive schools for our students.
We're asking for just dignity and respect at this point.
At this point, we're not even asking.
We're demanding it.
Because you should have had it already.
What do you think is the hold of?
The district keeps saying that they're broke.
In fact, they're bragging to Wall Street about having $5 billion in reserves.
So it doesn't sound like
Which one is it?
Is it Uchewa or is it one mic district?
That's right.
You either have it or you don't.
Charmel, there's a rally this week?
Yes.
We are having a rally on Wednesday, March 18th.
At 4 o'clock, please show up.
If you're a family member, a student, a parent,
a community member, please show up to our rally.
We really need all the support from everyone at this point.
Please show up.
It's at Grand Park on Wednesday, March 18th.
In downtown LA, is that going to be during school hours?
No, that would be after school.
So you guys even know throughout all of this, you're not going to leave your children behind.
You're going to go do the work at school, and then you're going to go to the rally at that park.
Yes, we're going to rally.
Charmel, thank you so much for stopping by.
We wish you the best.
What you've done is an incredible, incredible service to our communities, to our children.
And that legacy goes on beyond what anybody else can say, downplay or any of that.
Thank you for having me here.
Thank you.
I really appreciate it.
SEIU Local 99.
Stay strong.
Come on.
Light it out.
Keep it here.
It's Power 106.
At least number one for hip-hop.
