What's up? This is Be Real from Cyprus Hill.
Where are you from, Esse?
Don't you know I'm local?
Okay, shout out to our guy, LeBron James, who just can't get enough.
LeBron James.
LeBron cannot get enough of beating score records.
He has some three-point records in the cut now, beat Karim Abdul-Jabbar most points in the NBA.
And he said, I can't, I need more.
He's never too much.
Never too much, never too much.
He's a record breaker.
He's about to go to your local record store and just stomp on all the records.
Break them all.
I love it.
I love it.
Like he's protesting something.
Yes.
All right.
During warmups, and this is like where this wasn't even a press conference.
This wasn't like contrived or like he made it a point to say.
It's not a press release.
He's just talking in the warm up.
And like that's what's the true because you know these are his plans.
In between shots.
He says these are his plans for LeBron.
I'm going to play until I'm 40.
Then after 40, I'm going to go all left hand until I'm 40.
until I'm 45.
He's going to play five years in the NBA, just left-handed.
I'm going to score 5,000 points with my left.
Then I'll be done.
What?
Then I'll be done.
And then he started shooting left.
Yes.
He's like like this.
No, I feel like he could do it.
He could do it, man.
No way.
It's like he's trolling us.
No, he could do it.
He could do it.
Because he was just talking to his homies.
That's like if we're out here and I'm just like, yeah, you know, I'm going to write a book
and then I'm going to do this.
I'm a bestseller and all that stuff.
But it's just regular talk.
I like that he's like, he didn't say I want to.
He didn't say, like he's very affirmative.
I'm gonna, then after, I'm gonna, and then I'm gonna and then boom.
And then I'll retire.
Because then also isn't he going to play with, he's not just Bronny, but Bryce?
Yeah.
The son after that.
Yes.
And Bryce has been looking good this season so far.
And they're all going to be annoyed.
That's the son?
Yeah.
He's going to be that old head in the league.
Like, I still got it.
You see, I still got this.
Oh, my bag.
Yeah.
And he's going to pass up open shots to the shoe with his left.
So right now he's 38 years old.
Yep.
So in two years, getting ready for the switch up.
I think he turns 39 on the 30th or the 30th.
Oh, really?
Yeah, at the end of this month.
He's like Capricorn?
Yeah, December 30th.
Why do you know LeBron James birthday, Victor?
That's my dog, man.
Okay.
He's going to be like mid shot.
Like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, I had to switch my hand.
Exactly.
It wouldn't be something like that.
That would be tight.
So he turns 39 this.
On the 30th.
On the 30th.
So we have one more year
of right-handed LeBron.
Yes.
Left-hand LeBron's going to be crazy.
He's going to be that switch up.
Yeah.
That's wild.
He's probably going to wear like different swag,
like a different head brand and he's going to head that back.
He's going to give us a new alias.
Yes.
Because you know how like Black Wamba came in later in Kobe's career.
Yeah.
What is the LeBron James?
Le-Left James?
Left James.
The left.
I like that.
And then at what point do you stop breaking records in NBA?
I'm sure there's a lot of records to break.
Yeah.
But already I see a new one that they may be coming up with the first, like, family in the NBA.
Like, how many James can you get on the court?
Yes.
Wow.
Like, beat that.
Any, beat that curry.
Yeah, actually, I don't think anybody has.
I think it's been, yeah, like a lot of twins.
Father's sons.
A lot of brothers in the NBA, never a father's son.
Father son.
Father two sons.
Yes, father two sons.
Wow.
That's crazy.
That's not the name.
He's going to go straight to the dad hall of the NBA.
Fame too.
LeBron, we're here for it.
And I don't know, I'm sure that he's been practicing on his left hand, too, to make sure.
I'm sure, for sure.
It's crazy to be, like, how the sports create the randomest stats.
Yeah.
Like, off two feet, off one foot, of pinky toe.
It's like so weird.
It's like so weird.
It feels like a lot of points.
That's warm-ups for me.
Uh-oh.
Greg, shut up.
You can't even do a burpee right.
And?
Sim.
Or Pimp.
I'm okay
Are you ready
I was like what is that
For your $500
Tinder plan
$500 all for like the whole year
Or lifetime
So Tinder
Tinder is creating
Tinder Select
Which will be charging
$499
$499 a month
A month
A month
Yeah
The only 1% of Tinder
That's a car
Users are going to be able to
Access
This Tinder Select program
Oh, it's like that one Raya or something.
Oh, like Raya.
Yeah, so it's like a, it's supposed to be a high-end plan.
But you can buy yourself into it.
Yes.
You can buy love?
Pretty much.
Wow.
And it allows you to do it.
It allows you to message users that don't follow you or they don't even have to like swipe for you.
So you could directly message anybody you want.
Force yourself on the people.
Have access to anyone you want.
I'm about saying it sounds very entitled.
You can force yourself into somebody's life.
The algorithm.
pushes you to like a specific
based on like what you like you
put that you were looking for like
you shoot your like profile to those people
and also to other people who are in this
1% of 10% of 10%
and you get a limited swipe so I'm assuming
you don't even have to swipe you can just DM
how many strokes you get
the weirdest thing
I don't know I think that's what matters
the weirdest part is that you could do this
on any other social media for free
yeah that's what I was thinking
I always think of, like, dating apps and I'm like, I feel like Instagram and Twitter are the better dating apps.
I always see people say, I met someone on Instagram, I met someone on Twitter, I would on social.
Yeah.
I mean, I rarely.
I know one couple that meant on Tinder.
But if you're going on Tinder, you're going on Tinder for something else.
Yeah.
You're not going to date.
Yeah.
No, I met someone.
That's Grindrful.
No.
All of them.
It's all of them.
I met someone.
I know a couple that is married now.
From Tinder?
Yeah.
Wow.
Good for them.
And they were each other's.
like, oh, this is the last one I'm going to go on.
Oh, wow.
It's like a movie.
It's like a movie.
I'm surprised Tinder hasn't came out of a movie.
In case you got pregnant.
But, I mean, I think, like, with that, it's...
I didn't mean, quote it on Tinder for I met him at Par 106.
The thing is with that, it's like, yeah, again, Instagram, free.
You shoot your shot for free all day.
You know what I'm saying?
See, but on this, 499, the message will go through.
And it finds your type.
And it finds your type.
That means like you.
Okay.
See, this is generation of men.
Doesn't even want to pay $500 for a date.
You think they're going to pay $500 for a date?
$500 for a date?
That's my type.
Yes, I'll do it.
No, you will.
It's probably going to end up being more 500 because that's like assuming you get the girl in the first month.
You're not.
You don't think they have a game like that?
No, no, no.
I don't think it's set up like that.
It's not set up for you to get.
get it's set up for to take your money right yeah yeah so if i want to take your money i'm gonna say
yeah just use for 500 you'll get like but i want you there for as long as possible yeah so there'll be
coming back there'll be misconnections oh you'll find love with a bot they'll put something in your
algorithm so like to distract you and make sure that you break up with the girl and then you have two
at a time yeah they don't lose a subscription yeah but also that's why they're targeting the 1%
it's like that is very low sense i'm very low
No, that's a lot.
I'm not the 1% of that's for show.
You're on Tinder?
No, I've never been to me.
I want to say I'm the 1% of Tinder.
You're on Tinder.
Walk into the club like, yeah, I'm on 1%.
Okay, you think that 1%.
No, your phone's on 1%, bro.
No, you think that 1% means like the most, like the most eligible bachelor, like the most high value man.
And Tinder, the 1% means the fools that are willing to be simple enough that they can't get a girl any other way that they have to pay this extra cash in order to get a date.
Or someone who is literally.
swiping left and right all day just get carpal tunnel from swiping someone yeah
they're just like and sometimes they don't even look anymore they're just like let me just
shoot my shot everywhere the fact that a girl doesn't even need to like you and because the whole
gist of tinder is that you swipe and she swipes and if you guys both like each other that boom that's a
match but it's like the fact that even if she don't swipe for you oh that's actually you can get into
the messages that's actually very creepy it's very creepy yeah i don't want no no girl
to slide in my DMs like that on Tinder.
Yeah, but if they paid $499, they can.
What are they can do it for free on Instagram?
Yeah, they do it for free on Instagram.
He's already happening.
He's welcoming them.
Do you guys have any dating apps, Vic?
No, they scare me.
Yeah, no, I just.
Never? Don't mind.
You look like you've tried it.
You look like you've tried it.
I've tried it when I've traveled.
When I've traveled.
So you haven't downloaded on your phone?
No.
So what do you mean when you travel?
When you travel, you download Tinder?
I tried it once in it.
like, no, I'm afraid I'm going to get robbed.
Like, I just, I have too much paranoia to actually go through with it.
I saw this tweet that's like, guys, I think every meetup is a setup.
Yes.
Yes.
A smart man, for sure.
Nobody likes me.
What the hell?
I don't get robbed.
There was this one girl that sent me her apartments, but she just sent just the name.
And she's like, yeah, look it up.
Like, it'll pop up.
I'm like, I don't know.
That means she has a nice apartment.
And then, yeah, it was a really nice apartment, actually, like, super nice.
Did you pull up?
Yeah, I did.
Of course.
Of course.
you know, Tinder.
Wow.
That's the trap.
Oh, no, man.
You guys are lying.
You guys for sure had some type of dating app, even back in the day.
My dating app is going to a bar and meeting a girl.
That's my dating app.
I tried a dating app once.
I was like, I told you guys coffee and bagel.
Or one of those.
Coffee and bagel?
Yeah.
I thought like I'm going to try like a super discreet one because I feel like Tinder is just,
there's a lot that goes to Tinder.
I'm not trying to like.
Yeah.
Pop out?
Yeah.
I literally wanted to find a minute.
but people would hit me up on Instagram
asking if the person on
coffee meets bagel was me
and then I'm like oh like this is too weird
yeah I was trying to be low
yeah yeah try to go on like farmers only
that's funny yeah I've been waiting
I've been waiting for cheese spot to offer me like a deal or something
so I'm just gonna hold off until then
could be the face of cheese spot
yeah but this Tinder thing is crazy
yeah
That 1% of simps are crazy.
$499.
And that's not $4.99.
No, that's $4.99.
Are you sure they didn't just miss a decimal point?
No.
Oh, my God.
What happened to mutual friends?
What happened to like, hey, right?
My friend thinks of you.
Exactly.
That was free back in the day.
Now it's $500.
Now it's $500.
Without a date.
This isn't even a day yet.
I know.
That's super simple.
That's Sam.
Sim for the people that get the subscription.
Pimp of Tender.
Timper select.
Tinder is definitely pimping their customers at this point.
For sure.
So we got to send them out because, yeah.
Anybody that has this subscription and if I see you?
I'm sorry.
Yeah, I'm just swiping.
I'm going to look in your guys' phones right now to see if you guys have dating apps.
The only notifications I get are from Postmates and food apps.
Aw.
Yeah.
So cute.
And Bible verses.
Yeah, exactly.

L.A's number one for hip hip hip.
Scrolling with the homies
Homie Greg.
Hey, Letty.
Hey, Gregory.
There's this new TikTok trend out there
that is exposing everybody.
It's basically everybody telling themselves
of how they feel about themselves.
It's kind of weird.
They say, what?
How do you feel about yourself?
Is that a trend?
That's what they're basically
feel about themselves.
Yeah.
So therapy.
Kind of.
So therapy.
I'm trying to go in a way.
Self-reflection.
I was in a place of funny ones,
but I came across one
that this dude
No I don't want to be sad
It's not sad like already
I feel sad for the guy
Because he puts himself in the friend zone
And he sounds so hurt about it with this trend
So is this the same trend that we were talking about
So this is the same trend
Okay so it's kind of like a trend of like
The one that I saw is like I'm a mom
Of course I'm gonna ask for help
And they get mad when you don't do it right
So it's like we're moms
Like of course we're gonna
Oh like
There was one's like
We're moms of course we're gonna buy melatonin gummies
Oh wow wow
Hey, that's what they did on TikTok, okay?
That's what Cheryl and Karen Day.
That was NyQuil.
Nike was great.
Back in my day.
Bro, I had a Tia, real quick, real quick, Greg.
I had a Tia one time at a party.
And luckily, she's my Tia, but she had a baby at the same time I had a baby.
You know, like, it's all weird.
Yeah.
And then both of our babies were like playing, but they were kind of acting up,
but you can tell they were a little bit fussy.
They were probably like one.
And she's like, Mija, Kierrez, but do you want?
put him in his sleep
and it was like
Thailand
and all like
the little syringe
like I'm like
Tia no he's not sick
you just give him this every day
yeah
Mimi's time
yeah
all right
shout of you Tia
don't know where she's at anymore
so if you're coming
I'm not gonna answer
okay Greg
but there's a
so the trend is it says
we are
and then it'll tell everybody right
this guy and this girl
says we are friends
and he sounds so heard
about everything that they say
Oh my god.
Have you played?
We're just friends.
We're just friends, but we're both tall so everyone thinks we're dating.
We're just friends.
Of course I'm gonna make her homemade soup when she's sick.
We're just friends.
When I stayed the night, I stay in his bed, but nothing ever happened.
We're just friends.
Of course I'm gonna give her my Amex when she needs to get her nails done.
We're just friends. Of course I'm gonna tell them about my date last night.
We're just friends.
Of course I find her extremely attractive and she makes me feel happier than I've ever felt in my entire life, but I'll never act on it.
They're just friends.
Oh.
Sad.
Everybody in the comments section was going crazy.
Like, my man is going through it.
Oh, my God.
He gives you the card?
Yeah, that's definitely, and let's add that to a Sim nominee.
Yo, that is a Simp if I ever.
See, I don't trust TikTok anymore.
I know.
That did sound a little like manufacturing.
That's why I found some more for you guys.
I have another example.
This one is when we're just guy homies, like us friends, you know?
We're guy friends.
You don't got to pay me back.
Just get me.
next time. We're guy friends. Of course I'm gonna tell you
I'm five minutes away even though I'm 20.
We're guy friends. Of course I'm gonna hype you up to go
talk to that girl that you have no shot with.
Of course I'm gonna try to convince you to take a shot even though I know you got
to do tomorrow.
So guys are like girls. Yeah, that sounds
exactly like girls. That's like girls. I don't know
because you guys do you shoot shot at a guy?
No, I help you if even if I know you can't like you
to you. Yeah. Even if I know you can't
like get like what's her name? What's the last one you wanted?
Tinache?
I'm still, let's go hype you up.
You're like, ooh, new couple.
Remember I did that?
Yeah, you actually did, yeah.
When I buy breakfast, you guys don't have to pay me back.
Please give me next time.
Yeah, and I buy a more expensive item.
I feel like we should do one of our own.
That's tight.
Okay.
What should we do it?
Are we really bringing something on air right now?
We're at brown bag?
Yeah.
We're a brown bag.
Of course Vic's going to DM girls on our Instagram page.
Wow.
He had this set up.
He had to set up.
That was one time on accident.
I thought I was on my Instagram.
my own page.
Yeah.
We're brownback.
Of course,
Vic's going to
have a new girl
every two months.
Wow.
What?
Is this just a tactic?
We're brownback.
Of course Vic's going to say
that wasn't really my cousin.
Oh, anybody else?
We're brownback.
Of course I feel attacked.
We're brownback.
Of course, Vic is going to choose
the one restaurant
no one else buys things from
to shop for in the morning.
He straight goes to the restaurant
that none of us
will want.
He'll be like,
Hey, anyone,
on me,
anybody,
that's Vig's
frugal play.
I just,
all y'all like this?
Yeah,
I don't like that.
I'm going to go
the other way.
Hey,
I'm going to shop
at this only
onion store.
Does anyone
do you know?
something this morning.
No, dude.
Right.
Look, I'm on you.
Yeah.
He got a little better because, remember,
he used to just get food for himself and just eat in front of us?
Yeah, we all grow.
You know, we all get better with time.
We're brown bag.
Of course, I'm going to say, I got it,
and then the next day come in, and then I don't got it,
and then I'm not prepped, and then I don't have my audio,
and then I have to tell Daniels, please load this in two seconds.
We're brown bag.
I'm going to say, I have a condition.
We're brown bag.
Of course, Maximo didn't reply to the email.
Wow.
Not purred.
I did it on purpose.
I'm good.
We're a brown bag.
Maximu wants to be fired so bad.
Because he's not a quitter.
This is not funny.
I am mad.
That's awesome.
We're brown bag.
Of course, we go there with our jokes.
We're like that crew that's like you can't play.
We're that friend that you can't play with too crazy because we get mad.
And then now we're mad and then it's like, what we're going to do?
We're Brownback.
Of course anything I'd say off air is going to go on there.
Oh, yeah.
Absolutely.
All right.
Well, any else?
Angie, you're good?
Yeah.
Word on Rosecrans.
What's the word?
All right, chal.
J.
ID is replacing Mariah Carey.
He's basically the new Mariah Carey.
Wait.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Yeah.
Dreamville rapper, J.I.D is basically a new Mariah Carey.
He replaced her.
All right?
So he replaced her.
I didn't that be crazy.
He has a viral single out right now called Surround Sound, right?
And that song has surpassed Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas is You on the TikTok
Billboard Top 50 list.
That's wild.
Insane.
Okay, so look, the song was released in 2022, but it's been huge recently on TikTok because of the
dance challenge that had people mount or tape their phone to the ceiling and shake it, shake it, shake it, shake, shake.
But some people also just do like a funny dance or whatever
Yeah that's where I saw it come in like the ceiling challenge
So you take your phone
And then you do like funny things with your friends
Like you walk around in a line
You do like a sole train line dance or whatever
But of course like it got to that side of tic-tog
And people turn it up
If you haven't seen it
This is a little refresh your memory
Hey push the fuck off of the porch or break up
Down get this if it happened to blow
It makes around sounds
Cat on my lap
Push it back and go to town down putting rap on my back and I'm black and snatching crowns
And then at that point you're just like on loop rewatching with that girl date under her fan
Wow, look at it move.
It's like the ocean.
I love this song so much.
This is my favorite song in the world.
But anytime you dethrone this song, you've done something.
That part.
For sure, big.
Because you got to think with Mike, it doesn't.
matter how ever long that how old that song is and that song is old yes uh when it's christmas
time that's the son that's going to be played over and over people are going to put on their tictox
their christmas outfits their christmas ornaments their tree their boo all of that their their christmas
caroling or their parties at work all of that is going to have that song in the background
literally so for j id to have beat it yes is amazing like that's an incredible feat
absolutely i got j i call j id but jd is like yeah he said it
Either way you can say it, right?
Yeah, so now he did something.
When they say you did something with that, he did something with that.
And if this puts more people onto him, I'm happy about that.
Because he's a really, really, really good rapper.
He's animated.
His voice clearly is like, it's a vibe.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And that whole song is worth listening to.
I know a lot of times it's like the clip.
Just a little clip.
That whole song surround sound is worth listening to.
It's more so the timing to me of like, you beat it.
Okay, if you beat that song or if you beat him or Ikehari's song in January.
In January.
In January.
You worry.
Doesn't matter.
This is like beating LeBron in the finals.
This is prime time.
Yes.
But only on TikTok.
Yes, on the TikTok.
Yes.
But still,
I feel like people just play that song
so much during this season.
So shout out to J.D.
But look.
All right.
Kendrick Lamar gives back to Compton.
Okay.
So this past weekend,
Kendrick had a toy drive
in the city of Compton
at Enterprise Park.
And this particular toy drive
has been going on for a couple of years.
Thanks to the guys of PG-Lang.
And before that,
I know Key Riches was doing something.
a rapper from the local area who's passed on.
But this year, it's bigger than ever.
They had huge activities for kids, the jumpers,
photo ops with Kendrick,
and even music executive Jimmy Iveen came out.
Yeah, that was big.
That's a big invite.
That's a big VIP right there.
Absolutely.
To bring him to the hood.
I like photo ops with Kendrick,
do they see Kendrick like Santa or what?
No, I mean, I would.
Tell Kendrick which one for Christmas.
I would.
And he could get it for you too.
Yeah, so it was big.
It was a good event for the kids.
everybody in the community and specific to like his community you know like the west side of
compton it's like you can always do stuff for los angeles and you know a lot of people from different
neighborhoods are going out oh i want to see kendrick and stuff but this is literally like at a park he grew
up going to you know what i'm saying so like i love when it's like directly his community yeah now
kendrick has like his own little burner instagram account yes yeah but i like how he's not posting it on
his like his name instagram and you know he has a line where he says
I don't do it for the gram.
I do it for Campton.
And it's like, this is prime example.
Like, I'm going back and I'm doing this.
And I'm going to be low-key about it.
You see it because other people post it.
Right.
He's not promoting it.
No.
Absolutely.
And he was actually quoted.
This is quote.
He said, I was just fortunate enough to have a group of guys around me that gave me the
courage to feed myself with the arts.
Whether it was a streetcats in my neighborhood, whether it was Dave Free, who pushed me to
be an artist, whether it was taught from the projects, the Nickerson Gardens, I was
always allowed to be myself.
Oh, that's beautiful. Yeah, that's dope. Just giving back and inspired by his OGs.
Yeah. And doing is essentially what they did because today is obviously the TDE toy drive as well.
Yes. Concert and giveaway. Yes. And so it's like, no, he already did his own thing. And, you know,
that's what it should be, a spinoff and feature community because essentially the Nickerson Gardens is,
Top's community. Like director. J. Rock. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. No, that's going to be awesome.
And I think it's beautiful that they're all doing that.
He has another line.
I keep thinking about his lines.
The song, Bless, one of my favorites, him in School Boy Q.
And he says, like, come back and give back to the city you built.
Him understanding, like, I know that I did so much for Compton,
but it doesn't mean anything if I don't come back and do something there.
And do something with it.
And they must have council members that permit them, huh?
Because I know Maximo you try to do it.
Oh.
But I don't want to let this get to, like, literally Maximo tried his best
to do a toy event in the valley.
In my park,
we got black by somebody.
Maybe you got to start a rap career.
There you go.
Is that what it is?
Someone denied his permit to do it.
So just know all our kids in the valley,
we're trying to do something for you.
Yes.
Next year.
They like me like, yeah, it's so nice at Kendrick and like we could do it too.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, what they got against us?
Not Kendrick, but.
The council members.
The council members out there.
Is it because we said that one thing?
I'm kidding.
Is it because of the big sweater
Every time the council members come in?
Yeah, you need to chill out, bro.
Yeah, I stopped wearing it.
Last time I wore a very nice Christmas sweater.
Big wears very vulgar content on his sweaters.
Every time like an assembly member or a council member comes to.
Or the mayor.
That was an accident and a coincidence.
Every time.
But use my code.
Use my code.
That's a awful lot of codes.
All right.
So look, shout out to Kendrick.
Shout out to All the PG-Lang.
I know Lil Elle was a part of this.
Jay Worthy, Wally the Sense, all the guys out there in Compton.
Shout out to them.
And that was your word on Rosecrans.
Brought to you by local Southern California Toyota dealers.
I'm Rose Kranzivik for Brown Bag Mornings on Power 106.
What's up?
This is Be Real from Cypress Hill.
Where are you from, Mese?
Don't you know I'm local?
Told you guys.
It's going to be rainy outside this whole week.
Can't even see outside or no.
It's rainy, it's sad and gloomy, like Greg's heart.
It is sox city outside.
Okay, but because of that, we do have some winter driving tips if you're in Los Angeles.
And you know, Caltrans put this out.
And some are clearly like the obvious, like check your wiper blades, which I hope that you have.
And your tire pressure, because somehow in the cold, like the tires get all crazy.
Yeah.
Like, I'll get alerts from the thing, like on the, on the steering.
You get alerts?
Wow.
You guys.
No.
No, I don't.
Okay.
All right, well, and then also, of course, make sure this is one is like you slow down.
But this one's pretty cool.
Keep a blanket, snacks, and water in the car.
Why?
I've never heard of that, like, has a tip for winter driving tips.
No.
No.
I was going to say, I used to carry all that stuff around back then when I didn't live on my own.
This is winter driving tips, you guys.
Oh.
Not need a, not link up tips.
What are these...
Tender tips?
Taltrans sent it out.
What are these people driving to that they need blankets and water?
What I'm assuming...
What I am assuming is to be like precautionous, like in case there's an accident, there's a pile of because it's raining and there's like now a lot of traffic.
You need snacks, maybe it's for a long time.
You might get cold because it's really cold outside.
I don't know if your heater works.
A lot of cars heaters work.
Honestly, yeah.
I don't know.
Throw the defroster on, put that baby in park.
Put the emergency break on.
Call it a day.
Yeah, just in case, you know what I'm saying?
You don't want to roll down the hill.
You guys have never been in chat back.
You're like, dude, I have nothing to eat.
I have nothing to drink.
You guys are not moms.
When I saw this, I was like, hey, this is really smart.
I mean, I usually take like a water bottle before I leave the house
just in case I get parched.
So that's what they're saying.
Water in the car, snacks and a blanket.
I'm thinking about the boys.
Like, they'll get cold.
They might get restless.
Yes.
Because out of nowhere, like Little Vic will be in the back seat,
Dad, I'm thirsty.
Stop now.
I'm sitting in an hour traffic.
Yeah.
And I'm just like, dude, I've already brought to your water.
I already thought ahead.
Here you go, son.
Drink all my water.
My water.
Drink it.
So then you can double as well.
You need to use a restroom if we're in traffic.
That's definitely happened before.
They sell these bottles on Amazon.
And it looks like low-key, a little elephant to help if that happens.
Because the last thing you want, and it happens a lot with me because we have two toddlers.
They're both potty trained.
but one will want to stop right now
and then in five minutes
the other one will want to stop
and we're on the freeway
so we'd have to exit
I know
I'm always like finish that water bottle
of you and drink you
that's the restroom
that's the restroom
oh man I like
I get on Vic so much
I'm like if you get any of that
on my carpet
I want that
the pressure
I know
my little baby
all right well those are your
Winter driving tips from Caltrends, all right?
Just be safe out there on these roads.
The tires one is pretty accurate.
Yeah.
I've spun out before because of the rain.
Oh, hydroplaining.
You got to be careful.
Yeah.
It was like 360s.
It was crazy.
I feel like like because of the rain also a lot of like debris and like things are on the ground start popping up.
True.
You see a lot more nails and things and going in your tires.
And I don't know if the local tire shop is dropping down around the corner.
That's my theory.
I've always thought about that.
That always happens.
I'm like, how when it's raining, does my tire get alternative?
Yeah.
Okay, I get you.
Also, have your phone charger with you.
Because the last thing again, you don't want to get caught up in traffic because there's a pile up or something and then your phone is dying.
That's the worst.
Because your phone is low-key or GPS sometimes.
All the time.
All the time.
I don't think we know how to function without it.
No, I can't.
Because Loki, our Toyotas come equipped with maps.
Yeah.
That you can use, like, from the car.
You're right, you're right.
That's so helpful.
Yeah.
Always got your back.
All right, the wiper blades to me is important, too.
Yes.
Because you don't know they don't work until you need them.
Until it's raining.
Until someone else tells you, hey, you need new wiper blades.
I do.
Like, what?
That's what that was.
Yeah.
The good thing about the Toyota ones, though, they last forever.
They do.
Look at us.
Look at us.
9-106, LA's number one for hip-hop, and it finally feels like wintertime.
Yeah.
Feels good.
I like it.
Yeah, me too.
Like you said, it's like my heart.
I said that?
Yeah, you did.
Oh, I thought I just thought that.
What's wrong with your heart?
It's very gloomy.
It's cold and cold.
Yeah, it's cold.
But it also has some jolly in it.
Coming up at 8.30.
Because we just gave away some tickets to Oscar Munoz from Boyle.
Why are talking to him on the phone like you were talking to him?
That's a big customer service.
I'm doing a nice.
It sounded like you were flirting with him.
No, it sounded like you were trying to like dangle the tickets in front of him.
Like, oh, I don't know if I should give you a ticket.
If they're calling him, 10, you get them the tickets.
I was giving him the tickets.
I was making sure he was like.
He was having good day, you know, we're all having good days.
Talk to the guy.
Have some fun.
Shout out to you, Oscar Murillo.
Thank you for calling in your caller tent.
And coming up in the 8 o'clock hour, we have more Nott's Mary farm tickets.
Yeah.
And we are doing something for you to win them, okay?
So we have a bunch of gingerbread houses.
Yes.
And in California, there's like, it's cool to build a house, but can your house withstand an earthquake?
You know, we had earthquake Hillary?
Earthquake, yeah.
No, no, Hurricane.
Her earthquake.
Her earthquake.
Yes.
So what we're going to do is we're going to build gingerbread houses, right?
We're going to do them.
Let's do it during this commercial break.
Coming up at 8.30, we're going to shake those gingerbread houses.
And then we're going to throw water on them.
Oh, sure.
We're going to have a double it up.
Hurricanes now?
No, it's a hurricane.
No, it's a hurricane.
Oh, hurricane.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You can spin the bottle too, like, while you're, like.
Return of the hurricane.
Yeah.
Not place to spin the bottle.
Just spin the bottle while you're on.
You get to tell us which one of us you think is going to build a gingerbread house
that can withstand.
The hurricane.
If you guess correctly which one of our gingerbread houses does that, then you win the tickets.
And just so everybody knows my grandpa builds real houses with his bare hands.
So I hope they passed down a meat.
My ancestors built the pyramids in Mexico.
Just so everybody knows.
And El Salvador.
I look the closest to a construction worker.
Wow.
Just so you know, my dad's a tree trimmer.
I don't know how this is going to.
Greg?
I dated a white girl that he's a build these a lot.
I don't know.
Bill, didn't she do red houses?
Hey, that's fair, that's fair.
That's a lot of experience and knowledge.
Tough right there.
That's a tough one.
All right, so that's coming up at 830.
But coming up next, we have the homey helpline.
Who are we helping this morning, Victor?
We're helping the home girl Lily Beth because she's hating on her rich sister and her perfect Christmas gifts.
Oh, my God.
Lily Beth is it?
It needs our help.
Wow.
Okay.
Let's help Lily Beth and eggs.
I don't know they still made people with those names.
Keep it here.
All right, check this out, homie.
You need a homie 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.
Lily Beth needs our help.
She said, Merry Christmas, Brownback.
I have a little problem, and I don't know how to bring it up to my sister.
I have two kids, Luis, who's nine, and Lisa, who's 12.
and we have a tight-knit family.
So my sister Elena is amazing and gives great gifts, sometimes too great.
Unfortunately, I can't afford the type of gifts she gives,
and every Christmas she goes all out.
I mean, all out.
She said, I mean, no, she said, I know I should be happy and thankful,
but I feel it started to make my kids feel like they deserve expensive gifts,
and I can't always afford them.
I also feel she unintentionally makes the rest of the family feel bad,
because they can't give iPhones, iPads, or any of that for Christmas.
Wow.
So this year, I saved up to get my daughter Lisa an iPhone, and it took me months.
Now my sister wants to get her a MacBook, and I feel she's going to outgift me and outshine my gift.
Am I wrong if I want to tell her to tone it down on the gifts?
What should I do, brown bag?
Dang.
Lily sister is rich.
Yes.
She's a rich.
Yeah, she's a rich.
Yeah.
Yeah, the rich, yeah.
And Lily don't like this.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I think with having kids sometimes, too, it's like, you're not really competing,
but you also, like, you know, there's reactions to when kids open gifts.
Yeah.
And, like, I know for sure sometimes, even, like, when my mom buys gifts,
I know my mom can't afford, like, super expensive gifts.
Like, just those reactions can affect somebody, you know?
Yeah.
You know, especially if, you know, a lot of people give clothes.
You get clothes, you get clothes, it's just like, eh.
And the next gift is like, oh, I got so, you know, I got whatever, a phone, or whatever.
It's like, damn.
She should tell her kid to purposely tell her Thia that she wants this.
So she doesn't have to buy it.
She just saved herself 150 bucks.
No, but she's, the Thia's going to get her a Mac.
Yeah.
Yeah, MacBook.
Yeah.
So.
That's top, that tops the iPhone by far.
Yeah.
She's just more like, I don't want to be beaten by this present.
Like, well, I'm going to tell you right now.
Like, low key, I'm the favorite Tia of my nieces.
Shout out.
Shout out.
I'm my baby girl Olivia.
Literally, my sister sent me a photo of Olivia in her classroom.
She made leaves, right?
Olivia's in TK.
She made leaves.
And she had to name each leaf.
And I'm a leaf.
You're a leaf.
Aet.
There's the Eletti right there.
Wow.
And then my sister and my, like, Olivia's older sister are both one leaf.
Like, she's like,
I figured she forgot.
Like, oh, I have to add in my sister and my mom.
So she made them one leaf and their leaf loki looks like a little.
But I get my own leaf.
Yeah.
That's how much they love me.
That's awesome.
But like they're never not going to love that Tia or Tio because legit with us, they have no rules.
Right.
It's always going to be that extra stuff.
So even if it's not like the extra crazy presents, you're going to, they, the Tias win, Loki.
Yeah, because they don't have to do any of the disciplining.
or anything like that.
It's just like all gifts, all fun.
All fun.
Exactly.
But she just,
Lily Wet just feels like maybe it's more of a personal thing.
Maybe it's less about the kid.
It sounds like a sibling rivalry.
It sounds like a sibling rivalry type of thing.
And also I think maybe a little bit of frustration because she maybe, you know,
like she said,
she can't afford like too much,
but she did her best to save up for this iPhone.
Yes.
She doesn't want her a kid to think the MacBook outweighs the iPhone because look at how much work
it took to get this iPhone.
Right.
It's a lucky kid.
I know.
Yeah.
Sounds like my niece.
Can I be in that, actually?
It sounds like a nieces.
How would you help Lily Beth?
Okay.
Lily Beth is a mom.
She has her kid.
She's getting her kid an iPhone.
And it took her a really long time to get her that iPhone.
But she's finding out that her sister is going to get that kid a MacBook.
And she feels like she wants to tell her, hey, can you tone it down?
Can you maybe not give this gift?
Can you probably just give her an outfit?
Right.
Can you just not.
Can you not go so hard?
Hard in the pain, please.
You're making it.
You're putting too much pressure.
All right.
Let us know what you would tell baby girl Lily Beck.
All right, check this out, homie.
You need a homie 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.
Lily Beth needs our help.
Her rich sister Elena is ruining her Christmas.
Oh, why?
A little bit.
No, no.
She basically, so Elena, sorry, Lisa has, Lily
Beth has two kids. One is Lisa. She saved up all year to give her an iPhone and her sister Elena,
who's rich, who always gets the best gifts for her kids, is getting her a MacBook. And now she's
like, oh, she's going to outshine my gift that I've been saving up all year for working so
hard for and she doesn't know what to do. She's saying, should I ask her to tone it down with the
gifts or should I just let it be? Damn. Yeah. Because I've been getting to her for a while. Yeah.
She does see like the good, like in the gifts, but it's also like, man, I just want to be, I want to be the one that gives the best gift this year.
Yeah.
So how should she tell her sister to tone it down, all right?
Who are we going to, Gregory?
We got Celeste from Downey on line six.
All right, Celeste.
Good morning, Celeste.
Hi, good morning.
Celeste, my name, baby girl, what would you tell Lily Beth?
I would not even tell my sister anything.
I would talk to my kids.
If they're nine and 12, they should be old enough.
I mean, if the 12-year-old's going to rock a MacBook and her iPhone, she should be old enough to understand.
Like, hey, I don't have it like that.
I will get you what I can provide for you.
And, you know, let the rich aunty do her thing.
Kind of, you know, what the kids need to understand.
They need to be appreciative.
Like, you can get it from that person, but don't expect it all the time.
If they are, if they can give it to you out of love, cool.
But for real, be a person.
appreciative, but if you get a piece of coal from me, don't be mad.
No.
And the night that I'm your mom.
Because she was also not there raising you every day, you know, reprimanding you.
So, I mean, I understand as a struggling mom, like, man, I wish I could give them more.
But you're also giving them everything you can give them on the daily.
Right.
Right.
And Christmas is not about what the kid wants it is when they're little.
But Homegirls 12 asking for an iPhone and a MacBooks.
it's about what you
appreciate what people
want to give you
and it's about what you deserve
you know
and if you were not a good kid all year
I'm sorry home girl but
you don't deserve
you might still get the MacBook from the Tia
but you're not going to get your phone from me
You know it's crazy as the kids probably like
hey what I'm like this is y'all sibling rivalry
why am I getting a lecture
Why am I getting a lecture about what you do for me every day
because legit it's the sisters
the Tia that's like already the one like
you know what I'm
get her a Macbook.
Right.
I'm going to spoil my niece or nephew.
It's less about the actual child asking for it.
Yeah.
Right.
But if they're also asking for it, I'm going to be like, hey, I'm going to need you
to tone down your gift, you know, your gift list.
Because it's also a wish list.
It's not a list of demand.
Yeah.
And that's what my husband and I say, too.
It's a wish list.
And you're not going to get everything on it.
And I'm going to tell you, my 12-year-old or my 13-year-old, he gets everything on his
list.
So for me and dad, he gets.
what we want to give him
from grandma,
Tia,
Tio he gets what he demands from them.
Right.
Yeah.
I get you.
I get you.
If she were to ask for it...
She just needs to tell her sister.
Yeah,
that's the thing.
If she were to ask for it,
the little girl was to ask for her,
the 12-year-old was asked for it.
But it seems like
she's not asking for it.
Right.
It's just the Tia.
Yeah.
All right, baby boy.
What's bigger than an iPhone?
Yeah.
Macbook.
Me as a parent, I'd be like,
that's our MacBook.
I need editing.
Move over.
I need a profile on here.
Everybody's girl.
All right.
Great.
Who else is online?
We got Mirna from Huntington Park line four.
Mirna.
Mirna.
Hello.
How are you?
I'm great.
How are you guys?
Good.
Talk to us, Mirna.
What would you tell Lily Be?
She wants to tell her sister to tone down the MacBook Pro gift that she wants to give
Lily Bet's daughter because Lily Beth wants to give her daughter an iPhone.
I think
Les Leibeth should just stay quiet
And I know her feelings
Might be hurt a little bit
But as the mother
Why wouldn't you want your kids
To have both
Why wouldn't you
You know as a mother
You want your kids to have everything
And I think that
She should be grateful
Her sisters
Even gifting her kids
Because some of us don't even have that
Don't have you know
siblings that are even involved
For Christmas
True
Yeah
There's siblings that are like
Give the kid
Anything besides a pajama
Yeah
Yeah.
Or some siblings don't even show up to the Christmas party.
Oh.
That's a backup system and a support system that's going to be there for her kids and
want to give them, you know, something expansive.
That's a blessing.
She should be grateful.
That's facts, Marina.
I have to bribe my sister to come to Christmas.
I'm like, you know, I have some games and there's cash prizes and there's like just being kids.
Cash prices.
I mean, I'm not getting on them at all like that.
TikTok party games that they do for Christmas.
Monica, this is going to be so fun.
I promise you.
You'll be so many room for activities.
Just come over my house and spend Christmas.
Yeah.
But there is an appreciation of having your sister even be in the kid's life,
even have that relationship with them that, like, you know what?
I want to spoil this kid, but is it too much, I'm assuming, is what?
Yeah, because Merna said, like, oh, don't you want your kids to have everything?
And it's like, no, I want them to have almost everything.
Almost everything.
Because then what are they going to work for to have everything?
Exactly.
Bar.
I can tell your dad's told you that.
One or a hundred times.
I've been conditioned.
If I give you all you want, then you won't be working.
You got to work hard for it.
Get back to sweeping.
Go watch your dish, man.
All right.
All right, we are helping Lily Beth.
Lily Beth is inside the homie help line,
and we are helping her tell her sister to back off.
Back off.
Okay.
Her sister seems to be doing very well for herself and always gives Lily Beth's kids
like the most top tier gifts.
Lily Beth this year has saved up so much to get her daughter who's 12 years old iPhone.
Yep.
Finds out her sister is about to get her daughter a MacBook.
Sheesh.
And she wants to tell her sister to tone it down because, look, I saved up so much.
It's harder for me to get my kid these gifts.
And I just don't want to be outshy.
Like I really put in for this.
What should she tell her sister?
Should she tell her sister at all?
Or should she just let it happen?
Because it's like, hey, oh, when is it a win?
A gift is a gift.
Right, exactly.
You know?
Greg, who's on the line?
We got Jonathan from Carson on line five.
All right.
Jonathan.
Johnny.
Jonathan.
What's up, man?
How are you?
What are you?
What are you?
What are you?
Hey, so two things.
First, I would say it was that big a deal.
She felt like she'd been outshine.
And ask her sister to switch gifts with it.
You know what I'm saying?
Let me give her the iPad.
I mean, the iPad, the computer.
The computer.
The computer.
Oh.
Hey.
I like that.
I like that.
That's how they do it.
Yeah.
Like, come on, sis, if you're really not trying to just make it seem like you're richer than me and better than me and all of that, switch gives with me.
You give my daughter the iPhone and let me give her the MacBook.
I like that idea a lot, actually.
That is a good idea.
Yeah.
How do you approach your sister about that?
Like, hey, I noticed you're going to get her MacBook.
I think you have to be very forceful.
Forceful.
I'm giving her the MacBook.
You're giving her the iPhone.
That the is going to be like, oh, and it has all this specs on it.
I was like, how do you know so much about this MacBook?
You get me?
That is a good idea.
It's a good idea.
As long as they get along well enough where they'll understand and be like, all right, cool, like, let's do that.
But it's more like, nah.
Like she wants the bragging rights for it?
Ooh.
Or if she goes and tells the girl Lisa, she goes and tells her, you know what your mom made me?
What do you do?
She wanted us to switch.
Not if, she will.
She will definitely do that.
She will definitely do.
Where are the Tias at that give kids?
Like, where are the favorite Tias at?
I want to talk to you because definitely this is a, like, how do you feel about this?
I'm coming from a Mons perspective, so I definitely get Lily Beth where it's like, man, I don't want to be outshine.
Even with Loki with Jorge and the boys, like, oh, Loki in the same house.
Like, hey, what are you getting the boys?
Because, like, Loki, I don't want to get them something.
And then they pull up outside and there's like little Mercedes for them to be driving around.
Yeah.
Like, I don't want to do that.
Like, we've got to come together on this.
Maybe they could come together on a gift.
Maybe it's a gift from mom and Tia.
You know what I'm saying?
That's what me and my sister are doing this year.
We're splitting our gifts.
So I was going to say from Greg and Jackie to our nieces.
To your niece.
How do you decide if it's Jackie and Greg or Greg and Jackie?
No, it's even.
But you just said Greg and Jackie.
Yeah.
Yeah, why do you go first?
You paid more?
It doesn't matter.
I'm at a corner.
You're checking and Greg then.
It could be Jackie.
Yeah, it could be Jackie.
What are you giving it?
I can't see.
They're listening.
Oh, that's good.
From Jackie.
Oh, and Greg.
Oh, and Greg.
Oh, and Greg. Yeah.
No, it's going to be from Greg and then Jackie and Little Print.
Little the fine print at the bottom.
I love it.
All right.
Depends who writes it.
Look, Lily Beth, you got to figure this out because your daughter, I'm assuming,
deserves both things because you say, like, you saved up.
You're not going to save up for a bad kid.
No.
Facts.
Heck, no.
No, it happens.
We're enables.
We're enables here.
You know what?
We're not judging, though.
We're not judging.
Figure out a way to make it so that it's probably like a bundled gift.
Yeah.
Make it a secret sign.
I don't know.
Figure that out.
The gift is a genius idea.
Yeah.
That's what I think of the move.
All right.
Hey, Air.
Sambra Sala with Angie.
All right, listen, if you're in a relationship and you guys make it out during the, out of the holidays, props to you.
Yeah.
Congratulations to you.
Yeah.
Because I don't know what's going on right now, you guys, that it seems like everyone's breaking up.
I told you Cardi B and offset.
They were going at it on.
line. Then yesterday I told you
Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny broke
up. And now
there's rumors that
Mariah Carey and her long time boo
of seven years,
Brian and Tanaka have called it quit.
What?
The last time they were seen together
was actually back in March
during her birthday.
And then
she's right now, she's going on a tour. She's on her Christmas
tour and he hasn't been seen with her
at all, which is very, very odd because
he's always there and he's actually one of her backup dancers.
What?
I know.
They haven't been seen together.
Another thing is that normally Mariah and him, like their tradition to do is like during the holidays, it's go to Aspen and spend the holidays together.
But now sources, yeah, sources are saying that Brian is not going to be there and it's just Mariah with the kids alone.
Oh, by herself.
Also wants for Christmas is you to get out of my house.
Just to be alone.
Damn.
They're over.
Yeah.
That sucks.
I know.
Seven years together.
Not a lot, I didn't even know she was or somebody.
Yeah, I didn't know.
Same here.
Even, like, just the thing, like, being in the same workplace, I think is different.
Because you see them every day.
You probably carpool every day.
Yeah.
You know, like, so much of your lifestyle is.
He packs his lunch with the kids lunches.
Right.
He was a backup dancer.
Yeah.
What is it with backup dancers?
Didn't J-Lo did a backup dancer?
With Casper.
That's the way to a girl's heart, apparently.
Be a dancer?
Yeah, shakey, shakey, shakey.
I can get myself a J-Lo if I'm a dancer.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Try.
Try, Greg.
Start pumping.
Not going to work.
For Tanashi.
Yeah.
Oh.
But I, Pima.
I wonder if the holidays for her are better or worse when she's broken up with someone, because
she's the queen of Christmas.
Right.
And she's on tour right now, so she's really even busy to be thinking of, like, being heartbroken.
There's other bag of dancers.
Wait, are you saying this?
Oh, wow.
You're not wrong.
Yeah, you're not wrong.
It's right.
It's right.
Gary.
She can get anyone.
Wow.
And actually.
So she got replaced on the charts and.
Oh, don't say that.
She got replaced?
She's not like with the TikTok charts.
You think, yeah.
She left him.
She left him.
Yeah, for sure.
Roll.
Give him the boot.
He's the backup.
Is that even a question?
No, no, really.
Yeah.
So you're saying a backup dancer can't decide to leave a superstar?
No.
No.
That's like a downgrade.
Why would you do that?
Yeah.
Where are you going to go from there?
Uh, maybe you're not happy.
Impossible.
After seven years.
Hey, taking trust to Aspen, you won't be happy?
Come on.
Actually, Mariah, you know what I'm saying?
No, you're with someone already.
Yeah.
Does he even need to be dancing?
We can hire my girl.
All right.
Thank you, Angie.
All right.
Thank you for Somers Salabrasia by a local Southern California Toyota dealers.

Okay, no, no, no.
Just don't say anything.
Just stop working.
Let me talk real quick.
You're going to call in, caller 10.
And you're going to guess who made it the furthest
in even making a gingerbread house?
I'm going to tell you right now,
we were planning on doing something like,
hey, we're going to build gingerbread houses
and whichever one can withstand an earthquake
and like we're going to shake it.
We're going to pour water on it like a hurricane.
Then if you call it,
in and you choose one,
Maximo, Angie, Vic, or me,
whose house can withstand that?
I'm going to tell you right now,
none of these houses are earthquake,
earthquake, withstandable.
I don't even think they're houses at this point.
But one of us got the least furthest than the others, okay?
So you're going to call in and you're going to choose.
Who do you think between myself, Maximo?
Say, Maxi, say, yeah.
Hey, like.
Hey, guys.
Vic?
Hi.

Hey.
Okay, which one of us got the,
least furthest in creating our gingerbread houses.
It looks sad.
It does.
It's so sad.
This is the first time.
It looks really, really sad out here.
But we're not saying who looks bad or whatever.
I'm going to leave that for you to decide caller 10.
818, 52059.
I think we're going to do a new topic.
Okay.
We're going to topic like things I hate about Christmas time.
Yeah.

Okay?
So I'm going to let you decide who do you think out of all of us got the least furthest and also cheated during the break and try to look, make it seem like they went further than they did.

You could pick the top Los Angeles news story
of 2023 on KTLA 5
and their website KTLA.
Okay, which ones do you guess are on this little ballot?
Oh, I was like, I was like, can I guess?
Yeah.
The 10 freeway.
The 10 freeway is, yes, massive fire damages, 10 freeway forcing closure.
That is one of them, Angie.
That's what I was going to say.
Liar.
Okay, LeBron James surpassing Kriam of Diljabar as NBA's all-time leading score is on there as well.
I know, that's big, that's big.
I'm trying to read the ones that are not, like, massive loss of life.
Shohei Otani

setting 700 million contract
with the Dodgers is up there
The second billion dollar
Powerball jackpot
Tickets sold in the LA area
Remember that happened in the
Like in the

Yep
Remember that?
There ain't a lot happened this year.
Yeah, LeBron's son, Bonnie James, collapsing.
I was going to, U.S.
I was thinking that was a big story.
That wasn't a really big story because we're all like, what's going to happen.
Exactly.
I'm trying to go through like the nicest of these, but it's the news, so.
Yeah.
Tragic.
Texas is sending at least 20 buses of migrants to Los Angeles.
What happened to that, in that garbage truck, or the garbage, you guys know, the dad that, not the dad, the guy that chopped up his.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
See, I don't want to do that one.
I know.
In and out, going to another location.
Yeah, Idaho.

But being in there, too.
Okay, oh, the Hollywood shutdown.
Oh.
Oh, yeah.
That was cute.
The actors.
That was for months.
The writers.
L-A-USD, school shutting down over worker strikes.
Oh, yeah.
Damn, all that happened this year.
That happened this year.
It was an eventful year.
Like Matthew Perry passing away is in this.
Okay, so which one are we kind of, which one are we feeling from the nicest that we can vote on as a family?
I think the writers strike because it lasts so long, writers and then the actors joined and then like Hollywood is such a big part of L.A., you know, the culture, so it's like.
And we saw it like right here, right across the street.
Yeah, I saw it every day.
I think that was like, because it got so much coverage.
True.
I think that was it.
Or James Hardin going to the Clippers.
Is it in there?
Yeah.
No.
No.
That's not even in the back.
There is like a other where you could type in stuff.
So you can show them love.
You can show them love.
The hurricane.
The hurricane.
Yeah, Tropical Storm Hillary.
That was on my birthday.
Huge deal.
Remember they like?
They were like super fearmongering and scary.
They were promoting it.
Like it was like a concert or something.
I would go between Otani and the hurricane.
Really?
Otani?
That month?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's still circulating.
Over the 10.
freeway.
Oh, the 10 freeway.
The 10 freeway.
Yeah.
That's a good one.
That's a good one.
The 10 freeway.
Because everybody was freaking out and now they're still to be closed.
I'm going to go with the earthquake and the 10th freeway.
The earthquake?
Yes.
The hurricane.
Okay, well you can vote yourself at KTLA.com.
This is really cool.
I want to see which one wins.
I'm going to go other.
And what are you going to write in?
Brown bag on power.
What else is?
Imagine we all like type that into the other and KTRA is like this isn't even a story.
Didn't even make it to the news?
Actually, we did.
Actually we did.
I'm KTLA.
That's where Hispanic characters were.
Oh, yeah.
But you did the weather.
Oh, the weather.
Yeah, you did.
All right.
I'm telling you.
It wasn't.
And it wasn't the Hispanic weather.
It was a regular weather.
Oh, no.
I was dressed like it was a Hispanic weather if you asked me.
All right.
All right.
You guys, I really thought Christmas.
When you're in that sad of a mood,
that even Christmas songs aren't lifting you up right now.
It's the weather.
We decided to do a little challenge and do a gingerbread homes.
and it's just not working.
You got to know when to call it quits.
You just got to know.
We tried our best.
I do play Maximo.
What?
Yeah, me too.
Yeah.
Because the gingerbread homes that he does, like you literally,
the instruction on the box says pre-heat oven to 350 Fahrenheit.
That's step one.
We needed to, like, and usually I've done gingerbread houses all the time.
I don't get the ones that you have to pre-heat oven.
heat an oven.
And they have like two windows or entrance.
And two walls.
A bad door.
Drop down all of the halls.
My bad.
I got you a luxurious gingerbread house.
Yeah, this is like the level four, level five.
Yeah.
You needed the boom.
Four walls, the little door, the roof.
I saw the Christmas trees and I was like, this is time.
It has a fence.
A front yard fence.
This is not standard issue.
Definitely not.
He definitely went full on.
We're going to do the hardest gingerbread house ever.
This is like when you get the little Legos and you're like,
okay build this castle.
I'm like, well, I'm going to do this.
Yeah, it really crushed my spirit.
Yeah, it definitely did it.
Definitely did.
Like, I didn't know doing something for Christmas would make me feel less Christmassy.
I didn't know that I would just feel like a complete failure at 8 in the morning.
Oh, loser.
Usually happens earlier?
No, usually happens a little later in the day.
Okay, okay, okay.
Come noon time?
Come lunch?
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Okay, but we're asking you to call in and choose which one of us did the worst, okay?
We're going to post these gingerbread homes up on Brownback Mornings 106.
I will tell you, the person that did the worst also tried to cover it up and cheat during the break and, like, keep working when I said, hey, pencils down.
Yeah.
Right.
Yes.
Yes.
So we're going to see who did not do it right.
We have another Brenda on the line.
Brenda, good morning.
Brenda.
Hi, Momazita.
Brenda, what are you from?
I'm from Long Beach.
Let's go.
LB.
What's up?
Okay, Brenda, which one of us between myself?
Maximo and Vic did the worst at gingerbread housing.
Okay, so I say Maximal, but my children say Vic because he's always cheating.
Oh, even the kids don't feel him.
Well, first of all, let's just tell you, you're right.
Shout to the kids.
Different type of cheating, okay?
Completely different.
He does both of them because literally Vic was just staring, Brenda.
Vic was staring at his pieces and I'm like, Vic, you have to, like, not doing it is not an option, Vic.
Remember I told you that?
I was doing it, though.
And he was just staring at them.
Slower than everybody else.
And so that when I said pencils down and we're going to stop doing them, like at least,
A, Maximo got the furthest.
He did.
Yeah.
It looks like a little adobe house.
He's a construction worker.
He's a desperado or something.
Yeah.
It's abandoned.
It's an abandoned mission.
Mine went through an earthquake, but some of it's standing.
You got there.
And I still got further than Victor.
who tried to cheat by putting icing everywhere
so that it looks like he did something.
Yeah.
He's a blob of icing.
He loves putting icing everywhere is what I hear.
But what are your kids names, Brenda?
Alina and what?
Jason.
Alina and Jason.
You guys are great judges who are character.
Elena and Jason,
and you got hooked up when Nats Mary farm tickets.
Congratulations, Brenda.
They're in the car?
Thank you.
So do they hear all the cheese
all the time about Vig? Are you guys in the car and you guys hear Vick stories?
Yes, because they don't go into school till 9, so we're just like everything.
My daughter watches a podcast.
Oh, Vig, see what you're doing like?
Wait, how old is his daughter of yours?
Yeah. She's 11.
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah, see what you're teaching the kids?
Then, she knows all the cheesement.
All right.
No, congratulations, man.
She knows what not to look for in men.
There you go.
Either way they learn.
I'm glad.
I could be a assistant.
Yeah.
We love you guys and we hope you guys have a Merry Christmas and we hope we made it that much
merrier with these knots.
Mary Farm Tickets, Mamasita.
Congratulations.
Yes, thank you.
Brown guys.
Come on.
Yeah.
That's so tight.
She was going to go for you, Maximo.
And her kid said, no, no.
Vic.
I said, I know what a cheater when I see her.
When I hear one.
Your ginger red house.
Yeah.
At least there's a real house.
Which one was?
Which one is traveling?
This one you live alone.
Either one reminds me of failure.
Broken home.
Either one is broken.
Okay.
What's a Christmas activity you hate, you don't like?
Is it visiting Santa?
Is it seeing Christmas lights?
Is it all the Christmas?
Seeing your family?
Is it making gingerbread houses?
Let us know because this really put our spirits down.
What puts your spirits down during Christmas time?
We want to know 818.
520-1059.
I think for Angie,
Angie likes watching Christmas,
like looking at Christmas lights.
I do.
But the drive there can get you car sick.
Yeah,
I can't even be on my phone because then I'd be like,
pooh.
Oh, wow.
And it's like, it's worth it, Angie.
I swear, there's Christmas lights at the end of this.
Like, no, please.
It's just a hassle to do.
I'll tell you for me,
going to see Santa has been tough
because I was trying to work it out,
like where we're going to,
see them, I want to take them to Americana.
It's really nice.
It's the outside.
They have like a whole little cottage.
Like that looks like a gingerbread house.
Outside outside of the Americana.
Wow.
But the slots are all booked.
You get the reserve a slot?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's fancy.
That's fancy.
That is fancy.
But like now I was just trying to figure out where to get them.
Once we're there, there's a line.
Yeah.
And then I hope they don't cry seeing Santa or try to punch Santa or try to like pour Santa.
Yeah.
All right.
But we want to know what really grinds your gears during Christmas time.
Greg, you got to call in for this.
I got one.
All right.
We're talking about it.
It's Christmas time, you guys.
Yeah.
And the Christmas spirit.
Woo!
What was that big?
I don't know.
It was a Halloween.
We try his best.
All right.
He's acting like his house.
The holidays can take a toll on you.
What's the one thing that if you're like Christmas is here, yay?
Oh, but that means, boom.
For us, it's the gingerbread house making.
Making it is.
Looking at them are so beautiful.
The box is incredible.
Yeah, they're perfect.
But making them, you know what gets me with the gingerbread making is the frosting that you have to need, K-N-E-E-D to make warm?
Yeah.
Like that part takes like a minute.
It takes a few minutes that you have to just like.
Yeah, because if not, it's like it clumps up.
Yeah.
I'm just looking at this picture in the box and I'm like, who can do that?
The girls that know how to bake.
And you're the one that bought them.
Yeah.
Everyone that can bake, I get you.
You guys have parchment paper, cookie sheets.
If you have that, I know, you have a mixing bowl.
Yeah.
You, like, just, this is stuff in your kitchen.
You can make a good gingerbread house.
Yeah.
You just have flour.
You have flour.
Yeah.
Yes, F-L-O-U-R-U-R- in your house.
You make their own bread.
B-R-E-A-D.
You keep spelling everything else.
Well, because flower could be spelled different and eating could be spelled different.
Yeah.
If I say, like, oh, the stuff you need and it's like which stuff that I need.
If I add the K, it's like, oh, the stuff that I'm actually doing.
I need bread.
I need bread.
I was just funny to me.
I don't know why.
I don't know what I was doing people during the holidays to remind me of like, ugh.
I have to get you a present.
All right.
Okay.
We're taking it to the phone lines.
Who do we have Gregory?
You got Ashley from Huntington Beach on line one.
Huntington Beach.
That sounds like a great time during the holidays.
Ashley.
Ashley.
Ashley.
Ashley.
Ashley.
Hi.
What's up, baby girl?
Hi, this is Ashley, I think he got me confused.
This is Jasmine.
Oh, Jasmine.
Jasmine.
Okay, sorry, Jasmine.
Do you need her to spell her name?
Yeah, I know.
Speaking of.
Hey, Jasmine, what's something that you hate during the holidays?
It's just like, ugh, I hate that I have to do this.
So one thing that it really irks me about the holidays when, you know, Christmas is coming up, it's my sister and her husband.
Oh, hold on.
Hold on that.
Maybe you want to be named Ashley right now.
We don't put you on blast.
You know what my name is Ashley?
You're right?
All right.
Your sister and her husband, why?
Every single time the holidays come up,
and this has happened for the past like 10 years.
You know, when they got together,
they didn't have any money, nothing, nothing.
Now he's like, he went to school, he studied.
Now he's like a good job.
He makes bank.
He makes like 20 K a month.
Oh, wow.
Does he have a sister?
Yeah, me?
I got confused.
Anyway, so every single time the holidays come up, they always, like, if the Christmas topic comes up, a present topic come up, they're always like, oh, they're not going to give any gifts because we're struggling with money.
And it's like, you have the family.
So they're all of a sudden.
Yeah.
All of a sudden.
Yeah.
Like I said, me and my other sister and my mom, we're like, we're not expecting gifts.
We don't want gifts.
It's giving and receiving.
But it's like the fact that you guys feel that you have to say that every single year.
It makes you feel like they think they have to tell you so that like makes you feel like what?
I'm not like I'm not trying to get a gift from you.
Even though I know you make 20K a month.
How do I know that?
I don't know maybe I'm talking watching or something.
No, I know because he brags about it.
He brags about a $50,000 truck and he paid it off in less than a year.
Oh, but they don't want to do Christmas presents this year.
You know what?
He blast about it.
You know what you should do?
You need to hit them.
Like, hey, let's not do Christmas parties.
Let's not do Christmas presents this year.
You know, we're struggling right now.
I know you'll really mean it, but like, get a back.
No, honestly, I really am struggling.
I live, you know, like, unfortunately, I go check by check with, you know, me and my partner.
But I'm still able to make it happen.
Come on, baby, girl.
I went to sell out with, you know.
And I bought, like, night.
I put a limit of like no more than like $20, $30 gifts for people, you know?
Like, you can still make it happen.
You don't have, even though if I'm struggling, I'm still making it happen.
So the fact that you're like technically someone with money and for you to like be that way.
Be that fruitful with it.
Oh, you know?
I don't know.
No, I feel you.
Hey, this is your venting session.
Go ahead.
Yeah, go ahead.
I look, I can get presents for you like for $5.
It's more like the like understanding like who you're giving it to like I know to give a
a certain like like like what fits a personality or a friendship with the person that doesn't
have a price on it you know i get something funny at the dollar tree or i could get something
cute at like at tj max or something like that and it will still work if i were to like buy
everybody iPads yeah exactly exactly like i said like i'm sure you and i'm still making it happen
my son's asking for something that i'm like oh my god i'm not going to get them that but you know
what i'm still going to try and make it happen you know what i need to if you're someone with money
don't be that way yeah don't fucking be that way yeah
But like my mom says, for so, I'm sorry, I think it's Chris, but that's what my mom's like,
my mom's like, for this, for this, they're in money, like, yeah, yeah, exactly.
That's what you're keeping them rich, not giving you any presents.
Their elbows.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Their elbows, people?
I love it.
All right.
What do you hate about the holidays?
Like, you love the holidays, but it's just this one thing, Greg, you were, you were telling
me, like, you have something.
Yeah.
What is it?
Matching pajamas.
I hate it.
Dude, weren't you just in them last year?
Yes, he was.
He was and he was making TikTok.
Did I want to do them?
I did not want to do them.
Yes, you did.
No, I did it.
No, I hated it.
You loved the.
There was a whole argument right before those pictures were taking.
You love the mushy stuff.
No, I don't.
I hate that stuff.
You were so happy we were doing gingerbread houses.
Yeah, that's not mushy.
Because you haven't done gingerbread house.
Look at my gingerbread house.
It's so mushy.
No, I hate seeing couples do it.
Nope, I don't like it.
So do you hate it now or because you didn't hate it last year?
No, I hated it last year too.
I've always hated that.
Yeah, did you hate it while you were the couple doing it?
Yes, I did.
I'm not even kidding.
There was a whole argument.
What was the argument?
I was like, I don't want to do this.
Like, this is corny, cheesy.
Like, I don't want to do this.
And what did she say?
She cried and got her way anyway.
Do you miss that?
No, I don't.
That's why I'm not in relationship.
No, I don't miss it.
No.
You don't miss making gingerbread house?
You don't miss someone wanting to do stuff with you?
Someone wanting to match with you?
There's people out there that will want to do stuff on here.
Oh.
Right.
Oh, great.
Oh, please.
That's Vicks Lane.
Don't be that guy.
Yeah, you forgot to do the...
Oh, yeah, that's...
Uh-huh, ha, ha.
No, hit us up.
What is that one thing that you're like,
oh, it's the holidays?
I like them, but I don't like this part of it, okay?
Getting to the Christmas spirit, you guys.
It's Paro-Wan-O-6,
brown back mornings, good morning, yes.
We're in our little sad little vibe.
Yes.
Because we've made gingerbread houses
and, like, we didn't make them.
We're literally just,
looking at a pile of broken gingerbread pieces, weird clumpy frosting, Vig's little sad face.
They're so complicated.
Well, Vig's been eating his gingerbread.
Yeah.
And how's that making you feel big?
Is it helping a little bit?
I'm sad when I eat.
I eat when I'm sad.
And now you're sad.
So we're asking, what's that thing about Christmas time or the holidays that just makes you like,
like that?
Like that's how you feel right now.
That's how I feel.
So that's how I feel.
Jasmine or Ashley, whatever she chose for her name to be.
I was like, you know what makes me like that?
My sister and her man.
Because they got a lot of money, but they always tell us like, hey, no Christmas gifts this year.
And it's like, all right.
And then she's like, then they got a truck.
Yeah, they do.
And we know he makes $20,000 a month.
And I'm like, damn.
And then they didn't buy me this?
I wonder why they tell me that every year.
All right.
Who else we got on the line?
Gregory.
We got Margarita from Lakewood on line four.
Margarita.
Margarita.
Morning.
Morning.
Morning.
We're just delusioned right now.
Margarita, what's the one thing that you hate about the holidays?
Don't say the drinks because your name's Margarita.
No.
So it's like two-part thing.
I love, you know, the holidays, but since I'm the only girl, my mom's a little older now, so I had to, you know, she retired on cooking now, so I'm cooking.
Oh, no way, Margarita.
It just got passed down to you.
Yes, it was passed down
So I'm the only girl
So I had to, you know, take over
Which I don't mind
Why men don't cook or what?
My mom. Oh, okay
I'm sorry?
Men don't cook?
That's crazy
No, not in, you know, not in Marvel.
Yeah.
But the thing is, mom still wants the host
So my mom wants everyone
You know, we come to, they come to
Our home
Now the thing is the boys don't clean
Like we host, we cook
We take care of
like all the fun, but then when it's time to leave, you know, I'm the one here taking care of, like,
cleaning the dishes, taking care of the house, throwing all the house.
Oh, Margarita, that doesn't sound fun at all.
Dang.
So it's fun, but it's not.
The next day.
Yeah.
Well, it sounds fun if you're a guy, so.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sounds really good for like your yes must have the best time.
Yeah, sounds amazing.
They do.
Brothers and nephews and kids.
The guys have a fun time.
Not me.
So for you, the thing that makes you like just about the holidays is the fact that now you have to cook and then you have to clean up.
That's the two parts.
She's working.
Yeah, you have to work.
Yeah, you have to work.
Yeah, and I work.
So the next day is like cleaning, but then, you know, we got to get back into that working cleaning mode.
Don't tell me you to serve them too.
Yeah.
Oh.
Time and where?
Yeah, I'm there.
I want to go.
What did you say?
Lakewood or where?
Me and you IG can go because we're going to end up helping.
Oh, yeah.
No, thank you.
A, Ciglera, like, A, serve, Maximo.
Oh, no.
She has a sister, but she has a brother, sorry, Vic.
Oh, no, no, yeah.
Damn.
