What's up? This is Be Real from Cypress Hill. Where are you from, Esse? Don't you know I'm local? I got something free for you this Friday. Shout out to all the national parks out here. National Park Services are offering free entrances today at their 400 plus national parks, all in honor of the third anniversary of the Great American Outdoors Act.

What is that even? I don't know. I thought all the parks are free. Yes. National parks aren't, though. Some parks are better than other parks is what I heard. I see. Like the flower parks, or the flower park is my park in Glendale.

But the parks out here that you could just go to for free, maybe he's the restroom. There's other parks that you can't. You have to pay. Yeah, the national one. Like Angie's favorite, Yosemite. Yeah. The ones in Cali are the Channel Islands, Death Valley is a national park. I didn't know that.

Joshua Tree, the Santa Monica Mountains and Yosemite. So those you would naturally or regularly have to pay a fee for it, but you don't have to anymore. every Friday. Yeah, I've never been to these national parks. Oh, I have. None of them. Out of all the ones I listed, you've been to how many? One.

You've been to Yosemite. I didn't know Joshua Tree, you had to pay for it. I thought Joshua Tree was like a spiritual thing. It can be. But I had to pay for spiritual. I thought you don't pay for church. You know what the funny is like, it's free, but it isn't like the most crazy expensive. It's always doable.

But it's still cool like because you could take like more people, more family, make it a big thing. And this act that was passed in 2020 is. is to say like, you know what, we're going to put more funding into the national parks. We're going to make it so people come through, they come out. And I think these free days are so you could see all the stuff that you can do at Yosemite, like not take their trees. No one takes trees from Yosemite. Nobody does.

No one. That's a crime. How do you even fit that in your car? That is a crime, Angie. That means you purposely took a truck. Yeah. Yeah, we don't take trucks. This was premeditated. Theoretically.

Yeah. Theoretically. If anybody were to. Angie, what? activities do you do like a lot. They have so many hiking trails. I love the hiking and really really pretty views and waterfalls huge waterfalls like it's obviously just sightseeing if even if you don't like hiking there's a lot of sight scenes seeing the animals like it's weird watching yeah it's really exciting when you see bears and the thing is a lot of people complain about like camping but there's like

glamping now yeah they're making it look fly yes like luxury camping and then also you can get a hotel which are not too far away from the park. True. Okay, are you a camper or a glamper? I would like to be more of a glamper, but my girl likes camping. Yeah. Okay, because me too.

I know you might think girls want to glamp, which is like the Luke's camping, but I feel like rough and tough it out. We're out in the open for a reason. Facts. So why be, I don't know, I just don't understand it. Camping is fun. Build that tent, you know?

Yeah, the tents, like, they don't have to be like that elaborate. You know, it's just the feel. The feel outside, the fire. You know, roasting marshmallows, all that stuff, like, trying to, like, not get eaten by bears. It's fun. You know what I'm saying? I don't know how you made camping sounds so not fun right now.

It's so fun. You know what sounds boring? All those free national parks. I don't like it. I don't know. I've never been, and I feel like I'm not missing out. You are missing out. I'm not.

Thompson Park, Jim Thorpe Park. They're just fine. They're free every day. How are you? You could find Jesus Christ. Okay. Dead Valley, you could die. And Yosemite is like

Look at the most beautiful trees in the world I feel like they should do some type of zip lining Like if y'all are trying to get activities out there And make it fun Like do like they do like in the jungles You know what you could do at Jim Thor Park You could dodge bullet holes That's fun

Dodge bullets, dodge bullets, yeah Try not to become bullet holes All right well sorry for that story For going on your day Vic If you're trying to check out what parks are free You go to MPS.gov Thank you, bro.

And that was our service to the community. Thank you much. Hey, Sambra Sala with Angie. All right, you guys, we got to talk about our Rihanna Grande and her home wrecking history. She has four exes that were all in stable relationships when they got together. Oh, and then she came and messed up. She came and messed it up. And I'm talking about, like, the ones that we really know, like, the famous relationship.

We don't know of, like, the common person that she wrote up and stuff like that. Like Big Sean, Pete Davidson, Delton Gomez. and now her new boyfriend, Ethan, later. What? Oh, five? You want to be added in that list? Is it like the more stable your relationship, the more she wants you? I think so.

Because my relationship is so stable. Oh, my. You would leave it. Yeah, you would, yeah. That's pretty much what attracts her, like, stable relationships, you guys. Because she's right now with her new boyfriend, Ethan, right? And Ethan was married, and he was together with his high school sweetheart for 10 years. And then Ariana K.

came in between said, hey, this looks like a nice little relationship. Let me ruin it. How does that song go? She said, break up with your girlfriend. Wow. Hey, Ariana, Ariana, look, I'm stable as a table, baby. No, but that's what she likes. Because I'm telling you, she did that with Big Sean.

Big Sean was engaged with Maya Rivera. Naya Rivera. RIP. And she, Naya didn't say exactly that they cheated, but she did say, like, hey, like, I came. I was calling Big Sean. He never answered the first. phone and then I had a key to this house so I walked in and guess who I saw Ariana.

Wow, an international pop star. Damn. She was just a step to where he is now. Yes. Yeah. So we can't blame her. Happy life. Okay.

He was a step. Is this what it takes? I don't know. What do you mean? You know, Vick said something very eye-opening for me. What is it? When we talked about this earlier and he said, like, for the guy, and you look at the guys, they look dwee like the little nerds like yeah like oh yeah played sponge bob this name he looks like

sponge bob and then he looks like her brother so i don't know yeah and then to him like the like oh my god ariana wants me i will drop everything i will and so i'm like dude vick guys will really leave their whole relationships if a hotter girl wants them that's so sad though not any hot girl but the right hot girl i don't know i don't know like it's any hot girl it's not any it's arreana this is an international no pop star we're talking about but to them he's kind of in his own little realm too like he's an actor he does stuff like that yeah they're working together on wicker right so what did because before you said yes if the hot if the girl's hotter then yes i will leave it so now is it different it just depends how it feel but now oh my gosh i know because legit when you said it

i'm like dang that's very insightful yeah it happens though it happens you've done it before where you leave your girl you're in a stable relationship and then you This hot girl comes in. Because isn't it also a thing that the girl you cheat with is always uglier? That's a thing. Yeah, but the girl you leave for is always pretty. It has to be. Pemdas.

Pemdash. Pemdash. That's math. That's math. Please excuse my dear Aunt Sally. Please excuse my. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Exactly. Oh, my God. Yeah. You know what was tripping me out, Angie? I was watching like how social media was talking about it, and then they were like, it's Ariana Grande. She has daddy issues. That's how she's doing this.

Yeah, that's what they're playing in. I wonder if people without daddy issues home wreck. Because it feels like maybe that's just who she is. Maybe that's just how she is. I know a lot of stuff gets taken back to your family and how you're raised. But I'm like, damn, does the dad deserve it? Yeah, like, well, he caught a stray. Yeah, he's like, I was there the whole time.

Yeah. What? What? What do you mean? I do it's a little in your life. I think she's. these other couples and sees happiness and then like to read that. And I'm saying like, can that just come from her or all homewriters have daddy issues?

Or is there a homewrecker that has no daddy issues? I don't want to blame her dad. I don't want to blame her dad. That's what a lot of the fans are saying. Yeah. She has daddy issues because her parents divorced when she was aid. Yeah. And she's always, she's never single.

She's always like hopping relationships to relationship. Serial monogamous. She just likes relationships. There's a lot of people like that. I know of you. I get that. But it's like you don't have to be intervening. relationships like that,

homewrecking. It's not the best thing to have a pattern after because people are patterns. Definitely a pattern that she has. She may be looking for a guy that's like a good, like, you know,

because it's so hard to find good men. Yeah. True. So, but she's like, ooh, you just found him for me. Thank you.

Thank you. Let me. Thanks for proving that he can be good. But like the other person found him and they were for 10 years so that's proven. Yeah. But this looks at stages.

Yeah. She skips the stages. Yes. You do the work. She takes credit. Like, ooh, a great husband. Let me get him.

By now With your wifey It's not good It's not good What's that song she has to The I want it Next

You know what's crazy The one I knew when she She got married With that one fool That it was like Yeah I'm like

He just seems like I don't know They were just in the honeymoon stage. He seemed like a placeholder, huh? Yeah. Yeah. He was a placeholder, yeah. Yeah, because it was.

Because people don't really get what forever means. No. Like, oh, let's get married. I want a wedding. Did she want to get married or did she want a wedding? It's a difference. I don't know. She had a little tiny wedding with him.

Because she was engaged in B. Davidson, too, right? Yeah. Yeah. So she went through it all. She's like desensitized to marriage and stuff like that. She's trying to get as many rings as J-Lo. She's like stuff around.

Is that daddy issues? Well, thank you. Yeah, you guys are well. Yeah, You guys are welcome. That's it for Somrasala. Brought to you by your local Southern California, Toyota dealers. I'm Angie from Brownback Morning.

I'm Power 106. But we also got a shout out everybody that we've been seen in these streets. I'm here. Irene, Irene, you were at the Dodger game yesterday. Yes, I was. It was a special day. Yes, it was because it was Helicitty Night. So anything Helicitty, I'm there, obviously, except Japan.

One day, one day, one day, go get there. Okay, you brought this Hello Kitty in. Yes, I did. It's a Hello Kitty Bobble. It's so cool. So cool. I wish I had one. It's like half the size of my arm.

Okay. And I thought it was a bubble head, but it's a bobble because only her hand waves. Oh. So she waves like a little princess that she is, you know. And it can't be a bubble head because her head don't bubble. Yeah, because her head don't bubble. So it's just a bobble. And she's in a Dodger uniform, of course, you know, the best team ever.

And her little bow is blue and it lights up. That's so cool. I'm jealous. These are getting advanced. You guys are just going to have to imagine it because I'm not going to turn her up. You're not going to open. So how hard was it? How tough was it to get this bubblehead?

Okay. What time did you have to go? Man, I was there at 2. Like 2.30. What time does the game start? The game started at 7. Oh my God. But listen, listen, listen, listen.

Okay. So usually when they do Helicrina, you just buy a special ticket and you don't have the trip because if you have the ticket. You show your ticket. You get it. Yeah. But this time, it was first come first. So it was a free-for-all. And I was like, oh, I'm going to have to throw it down for this.

You were ready to get it. I had on my biker shirts. I had a hair tight kiss. I had a, yeah. Oh, pretty good. And, um. You'll square for a bubble. Yeah, I will.

It's not just any bubblehead. It's a hello kitty bubble. Do not downplay my love for this. And, yeah, so you have to get there early because the parking lot opens two and a half hours before the park, before the game starts. And then there's already cars. lining up. So we were in line to get in line like for the bobblehead. So as soon as the gates opened like my aunt was driving, she got me so mad because she drives like slow. And I was like, oh, I was like, let me drive. Like I was like, we're in the lake. You can't let people cut in front

you. And anyway, so she's going up the parking lot. And I'm like, stop right here. Stop right here. And I get off the car. And I'm like, you guys put me me right here. And then I just, I had anxiety the whole day. And then once I had this in my hand, I was like, you're fine. Okay, I don't care what we do now. You got it. No, I'm not going to open it. Are you one of those people that like never opens your, your toys? So it just depends.

If I get another one, then I'll open it because I don't have one. What's crazy is one of your favorite things of why you liked it and I've heard you talk about it is that it lights up. Yeah, it lights up. But you can't light it up from outside the box. Well, I mean, you can't even get in. Like, I'm pretty sure I could Google it. Yeah.

You know, if you guys want to spend. I'm sure the Dodgers have posted a video of how it lights up. Wow. What if yours has a malfunction? Yeah, what if it doesn't light up? You ever think about that? We're not going to think about that. We're not going to think about that.

You got your little bubble. You did it. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. Thank you. I don't know what's wrong with the dudes, idiot. They're on one. Another period.

Jeez. But shout out to you. That's a town red. That was so annoying. Maxibles just mad. because he likes the clippers and they never win. I can't be mad. All right, anybody shoutouts.

Shoutouts to the ones you love. Yesterday they didn't get the shout out of my guy from the Alicia Key Show. So I just want to shout him out. I don't remember his name. Oh, we're so awesome. I got recognized by my voice at the Alicia Keys show. No way. Yeah, and that's what ever happened to me.

Were you seeing Alicia Keys? No, thank God. I was like, well, I felt like Maximo. I go. What they say? Because, okay, somebody, I went with my homegirl, Erica, and somebody that she knew went by themselves. So, like, Erica was like, oh, you could come sit with us or whatever.

And then she was like, oh, this is my home girl, Irene. And I was like, hi, nice to meet you. And she's like, Irene from Paro Wino-Sit. She's like, I recognize your voice. That's so awesome. She's like, I've talked to you on the phone. And I was like, oh, my God, this has never happened to me before. So I was all smiley and stuff.

But, yeah. Shout out to you. You don't know, ma. So shout out, Christina. Big up, Christina, thank you for recognizing that giggle. I recognize that giggle anywhere, too. Word on Rosecrans. Word on Rosecrans.

Fans of Lil Wayne will be able to watch him talk sports every Friday on FS1 on FS1 from now on. Fire. All right. So Skip Bayliss of FS1 and formerly of ESPN's first take announced Thursday that Lil Wayne will appear on FS1's undisputed every single Friday. Do you think they're trying to see if he's going to replace Shannon Sharms? In a way, I think they found out that they probably can't straight up replace Shannon Sharp,

so they're going to have like a rotating cast. And Friday is Little Wayne's day. And Little Wayne has actually been appearing a lot on the same show. He comes out. They talk to him about like basketball, football. And he always seems to have like good responses. It's also Little Wayne. So it gives it a little like.

You always want to hear what he has to say. Really? Yeah. No, I'm asking. Yeah, no. Because he's like a fan of every single team. Yeah. So I love it.

Because I just remember this week you played a clip of Little Wayne talking. Yeah. And it was like, yeah, it's me. I think. But when he talks sports is different, right? Yes. He's very animated. Okay, okay.

He's very animated. And he has a personal story about every team, why he's a fan, why he's not a fan, right? So I compiled a list of the teams he's a fan of. Yay. All right, look. Let's do it. So he's rooted, he's once rooted for the Hornets, Pelicans, Spurs, Lakers, Saints, Packers, LSU Tigers, and he was a Miami Heat fan until D-Waid and LeBron didn't

dapp him up one time when he was courtside. And he took that very personal. What did Michael Jordan say? And I took that personally. All right. And then he became a thunder fan because they faced the heat in the 2012 finals. And he's like, I want the thunder to win to show the Miami Heat that they suck and they should have dat me up.

Yeah. And then he was a huge Mavericks fan in 2011 when they faced the heat. So he just like, he likes everything. personal, very biased opinions, and I can't wait because that's perfect for sports talk. That's all you need. Yes. You know it's crazy? I feel like him because I remember the Cowboys were winning a bunch of Super Bowls when I was young.

Yeah. And then the Packers beat them a Super Bowl. Get me if my history is wrong. The Packers ever beat the... I think they beat the Falcons. Yeah, it was around that time, though. Something happened. I just remember it always being the Cowboys, and then one year it was the Packers.

And then the next year, the Broncos played the Packers. Is that possible in football? Yes. And the NFC, yeah. Yeah, and then the Broncos won. So then I'm like, I like the Broncos. I like the Broncos because they beat the Packers. And I only didn't like the Packers because they weren't the Cowboys.

Right. But I know, like I get it. Like, I understand the logic. It's like the team that beats the team that beat me? Yes. I'm their fan. Yes. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Exactly. And I mean, once your team gets eliminated, and if you love, sports, you watch it and you pick aside. It's not like you don't pick a side. But low angle's like full-fledged. Yeah. Like he'll be like waving the flag like Woo, let's go, let's go. He gets a pass like Snoop. Yeah. Not like you, Vic.

I'm pretty close to getting a pass, all right? You're supposed to be Raider. I think once a Raider always a Raider fan. I am. But then you were wearing Rams one time. At the Super Bowl. And I felt guilty about it. Did you? You posted that picture. No, you posted a photo. After that. You felt guilty once you got backlash. Which is always how it works.

No, no, no, I told you. You're never sorry, but you're sorry you got cut. No, no, no. I'll tell you the exact moment when I felt guilty is when I was walking out of the suite and I seen some guy wearing a Raider jersey and the Raiders weren't playing. Yeah. And he wore full Raider gear to the Rams and Niner game. And I was like, wow, that guy is a real fan.

And I feel ashamed of myself. And I wanted to take off my sweater, but it was really cold. So that's the only reason I didn't. But I never wore it again. I never wore it again. But you still have it. Not even if there's a freeze storm. Do you have it?

Yes. I'm going to pass it down to my dog. You won't wear it again because you haven't gone to a game again. True. Yeah. Okay, how about this? I'm going to a Raiders Rams game and guess what I'm going to wear? What?

I'll decide that day. Oh. You got Raiders fans. Two men. All right. So look, Shady is back. Slim Shady is back with an all new verse on his new artist, Easy Mills, new single, realist.

All right, a couple weeks ago, M and Dr. Dre posed for a picture with the new talented artist named Easy Mill, and they said that this is the latest artist assigned to both Shady and Aftermath being only the third to do that after 50 cent, Stack Quote was the second and this is now the third. And we have a little snippet of Easy Mills part and then we'll get into Eminem's part. I'm in the mold to get to killing again with the best sticking you know never get in a penny or that still in the flows and I'm a spread it. You never the less I'm getting it in a way that you can never better instead of Sounds really distorted.

Yes. Can't hear it. He sounds like a machine gun when he wraps. Yeah, I could see why Eminem sign him. So he's from the Philippines and he relocated to Vegas and he's very talented. He has a large fan base already. He was out here at the Filipino Heritage Night. He threw the first pitch at Dodgers and it was freaking cool.

Yeah, that's amazing. So yeah, obviously he has a fan in Eminem and Dre and they really believe in him. And Eminem, a good. He had to address some things on this on his verse listen to this I guess I've really no right to complain much Hip hop has been good to me huh But when they say that I'm only top five because I'm white Why would I be stunned?

My skin color still working against me Because second I should be the nun Being white ain't why they put me at five Nope it's why I can't put me at one Only reason they still play shit in the clubs Is because you still performing them I am a guest in this house But I turn this to a mansion

Yeah Not I'm getting White racial profiled Okay, Jack card though. He said reverse race. Right. He pulled the reverse Uno card? Like you're Eminem. You've made a whole career not needing to do that. Right.

Why now, but he's getting a lot of like backlash online saying that like people think that he's not top five and he just had to address all that. I legit don't know anyone that doesn't think he's top five. And the only reason why they would think that is probably because there's been new rappers. But like when you think of the grades, like you still understand like this was one of the grades. Yeah. I mean there's there's certain like people that said like, oh, you know, if he was. not white he would be just as big as Royce the 5-9 you know who's pretty big himself but it's like there's like that comparison so he had to just address those people and then the club line we're saying like they don't play me in the club but you

only play you get played in the club because you're still doing the club you're still doing club appearances and I do stadiums I don't say you're broke yeah he's played in the club yeah Drake is not broke true no he was talking about the game and then everybody that everybody took on like the games like yeah you're right but bro, he doesn't get played in the club. Yeah. Well. All right.

Well, that was your word on Rosecrans. Brought to you by local Southern California Toyota dealers. I'm Rose Kranzvik for Brown Bag mornings. I'm part of 106. What's up? This is Be Real from Cypress Hill. Where are you from, S?S. Don't you know I'm local?

All right. Did y'all know that there is a music festival that's going to be happening this weekend? Where? On the 6th Street Bridge? What? No. I didn't know that. On the 6th Street Bridge.

I thought we can't do anything there. Hold on. Did they check in with sci-fi? I don't, well, he said, yes. Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Okay, so I'm upset at you for not mentioning it. Yeah, why didn't you tell us? Yeah, sci-fi.

You know we like the bridge. You know who's going to be there? Who? Mirz. Oh, really? Yeah. And I was like, wait. No way.

There is a 6th Street Bridge, a festival. It's called Bridge Fest, LA, 2023. Oh, how clever. And look, I don't have tickets for you because I just felt not about him because sci-fi didn't tell us about it. That's crazy. That's really cool. It's a free no-huh.

Probably not free. But then I was like, okay, so this might be one of the many new things that's going to happen to the 6th Street Bridge is like going to start doing music festivals. You definitely can't be driving around there. So if that's your go-to or your plans this weekend, even starting today. Take 4th Street. Try to figure it out, bro. Whatever you did while that bridge was closed, that's going to be your new route. Wow.

That's crazy. That's dope. Hey, that wing stop is going to be popping. Oh, yeah. The one in Boyle Heights, they're right over the road. Oh no, you guys, it is a free event. No way. No.

For a free event. That's fine. It's from 1 to 6 p.m. Yeah. The headliner August 5th, that's tomorrow, is Oso Matri. Ozo Matli? Yeah. Oh, okay, they're dope.

They're dope. Yeah. That's super cool. Ozo Matly, MERS. I'm just excited about it. Okay. I kind of get a sense of like what it's like, like the vibe. Okay.

Yeah. Yeah, this is awesome. It's like that one time when your homie has something cool but you don't tell you? That's so crazy. Has that ever happened to you? My. My friends tell me that all the time. That you're the homie?

Yes. That does cool stuff and doesn't tell them? It's because I tell them sometimes and they don't come. When she don't come once, you ain't getting invited. That's me all day. Hey, but when I do it, Leti, why you like that? It's cool when they do it. It's a problem when I do it.

Dang, that's crazy. So shout out to Bridge Fest. Wow. That sounds pretty fun. Yeah. Being on the bridge, the view must be like amazing. Yeah. Just vibing with everybody.

And I'm going to just tell you right now, don't take your trucks because they It might get robbed. LA did a new study on what cars get the most. Excuse me, what cars get robbed the most? Yeah. And Ford trucks and Dodge trucks are the ones in Los Angeles that get robbed the most. I'm like, dang, I would feel like trucks are harder to rob than a regular car.

Yeah, I would think so too, because they're loud. It's certain times where, like, people find little, like, things that are, I guess, vulnerable with certain trucks. And then they kind of go, like, viral in that, like, community. Because there was a period in time where. Like certain makes of certain trucks. There was a period in time where, I mean, that's probably still happening, but like Chevy Suburban's, like 2002s and Tahos, they found some like thing that they can like easily open.

And then so all those, all those trucks were getting robbed. Ew. Remember when I told you guys my stepdad got got us robbed in Vegas? He had a Tahoe. See? Yeah. You see? It's certain things.

So they must have figured out like some sort of like manufacturing error or something that makes those cars vulnerable and makes it easier. Wow. Now it's even more his fault for having a car that's robbable. Yeah. Now I hate him. He should have known. I like how I'm like when he got us robbed. It's like he just parked.

My step's that just parked. But it was him. So was his fault. He should have known. Yeah. Man, that must be scary though. Like if you have cars, what do you do to protect them when you know? Wow, this one's a risk factor.

Like this one. Yeah, the whole Kia challenge of getting. That happened to my mom. No way. Yeah. What? What? With the Kia.

When the Kia, when the Kia situation was happening. What happened? My mom parked in the front. Yeah. And then she. She said she went outside at six in the morning to go to work and she was like, at first she was confused. Like, did I not park here? Was that that tired?

And then she went, like, walked around the block and it was like, my car is gone. Wow. And then we found out it was stolen. Damn. Oh, I'm so sorry. Yeah, it was bad. I'll tell my pretty much stay away. Okay.

But either here nor there, notice how none of those were Toyota trucks, just saying. I was about to say that. A Toyota. I hear local, like, Southern California dealer. Power 106, Brownback mornings, Buenos Aires. It's Friday. Sun's coming now. It's going to be a hot weekend again.

Wear your deodorant, please. Yeah, please. Unless you don't believe in it. And it's fine. And wear your lemon. It's fine. But tell the room that you're going into that you don't believe in it. Please.

Come on, they need to know. Hey, I'm a deodorant free, everybody. Yeah. Just so you know I'm all natural. Yeah. So they know whether they stay in the room or not. I mean, I'm pretty sure they're going to smell you like when you're coming. No.

Yeah. I don't think so. Some girls don't smell. Really? No. It's usually not the girls. I like it, she said, we don't wear the order hand. I don't, but it's like, is that what that smell was?

Shut up, but it's not like I smell like, guys, if you guys smell like B-O, you guys start sweating, it's all B-L everywhere, so you guys have to. Because we're men, okay? Men smell like in and out sometimes, and that's just what it is. It's so nasty. Don't compare. What, are you saying B-L smells like in and out? Oh, like, wow.

No, it's crazy because I want to be mad, but I understand. I understand. I understand. I understand. Smell like raw onion sometimes, you know? Maybe that's what I love in and out. I like Geismel. I'm not mad at Geisemel.

And I don't think anybody should be mad at Geisemel. B.O? Well, there's like a, like historically, I'm going to get into my national geographic mode. Yeah, I know. It all starts with when we were cavemen, when we were cavemen. You know how like birds and all that have like their, like the bright feathers or to attract a mate? A guy's older would either attract or repel a woman. And before back then.

We didn't know who was related to us. Yeah. But naturally, girls are repelled by the odor of anybody that's related to them. They've even done studies where they have girls smell different white shirts that are like, got a little bit stench on them. And the most disgusted they get are that the shirts that end up also being from their, from their dads, from their brothers, from their cousins. It's crazy.

And they like other smells that are from somebody else that they would also find attractive. So I say all of that to say, sometimes we mask our odor with cologne or something. or perfume that we get with someone and we live with them, then we find out, ugh, I don't even like this smell. But if we had smelled them in the first place,

we would have saved ourselves so much time. Yeah. And that was your TED Talk slash National Geographic. Thank you, Leppie. From Kmen Leppi. Smelt talk. You're welcome, see? Smelt talk.

So you know what? Just say, A, smile me, baby girl. That's right. Put it under your shoulder. You never got, have you ever had a girl where you like her smell? Yeah. See?

All the time. But not perfume, not perfume. Like her smell. Exactly. Yeah. Her natural scent. That's bomb. And she still didn't stay.

That's crazy. So, never made. We don't do that. All right, look, check this out. I can still smell her now. So much chin. What is it? What is this?

On my upper lip? All right. It's Friday and we're feeling good and we have a homie that needs our help. All right? This homie, his name is Julio, and he's in between what he should do for a living based on his partner. He knows that if he choose. is a certain career, it's going to hurt her. Find out what that

career is and let's see if we can help him next, all right? 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 got your fault. The homie help line. The homie Julio needs help, all right?

So a listener named Julio DMed us and said, hey, Brownback, I need your guys help. I currently work for a guard armor truck company. And my girl is always nagging at me to get a new job. She feels like my job is dangerous, and she's seen all the robberies that have happened

since people are desperate for money post-COVID. I'm working at my job for experience because I want to join the Santa Ana Police Department or OC sheriffs in a few months. I like him already. He sounds strong. But I dislike the fact that my girlfriend has to worry about me every day.

We also had a baby five months ago, and she uses it as ammunition, I like the wordplay there, to complain and for me to leave my job job, but I love my job. Should I listen to her and quit or stay for the experience that'll help me down the line to be a police officer? Zane. That's tough. That is a little tough. What would you guys tell your homie if your homie came up with you and said? First, don't try me a police okay. Yeah. No. Hey, if we don't like the system, we got to get in the system to change. You're right.

You're right. You're right. My bad. No, I would have told him like, bro, like, he knows what he's doing. He has a plan a man with the plan yeah yeah and she's trying to like say oh just get this type of job it's like no like he's passionate about this he's good yeah he's providing like what's the problem it's like because you worry every day yeah but we all can go at any time but that's her that's your problem yeah i mean i i i understand the fact that he's in the field that can be dangerous yeah and at a certain point like i just imagine if he leaves his job what else does he have Yeah. So I would say keep the job.

I would say stay, get the experience, and aim for that dream that you have because what's going to happen is if you leave that job and you go somewhere you don't like, then you're going to end up eventually blaming your girl because you're going to feel that she forced you to leave what you love. Exactly. And it'll eventually lead to other relationship problems. Yeah. Everything's going to be a fight after that.

And to be fair, her fear is not invalid. You know, this isn't, it doesn't seem like, oh, it's because I'm jealous, oh, it's because she's this or she's insecure. It seems like a genuine fear. Like, I'm afraid of what might happen to you. And I'm sure, like, as go out and get your money boo, as I am with this fool, it's also like, dang, I can also see myself feel very afraid of what might happen. I've seen those videos. Like, the armored trucks getting robbed? They look crazy.

Crazy. I've seen, like, legit, look how we just slightly talked about how we feel about the the police. Like that's something that you're going to have to constantly battle and be up against, right? So I understand her fear. It doesn't mean that her fear is not valid. It doesn't mean kind of like F her and especially with the kids that she has. But it also is if you're very right on it, Maximo, that if he doesn't do it, still continue to do it. He's going to be thinking, man, I left this because he's going to start blaming her. But it's a decision he made that for them, right? And it's going to turn into I'm resentful to her because of that. But, but

But there's so many people that go through it. That's half of a scary occupation. And if she's already fearing him just working on that armored truck, I can't imagine when he is a police officer where you're out there on the field every day, depending where they put you. Like you go towards the crime. You go towards the danger. You're the first line.

So that's just going to cause more fear. I know sheriffs is a little different as in like the positions you could get put. You can put in like prisons. You could do it. like office work office work so I mean maybe there's a spot that can be like to meet in the middle yes yeah security guard top light top light here to the world I already feel like it's like maybe his girl just watched dead presidents one too many times don't watch the news yeah don't watch the news you remember dead president they flipped armored trucks and all that stuff it's like it's it's it's a lot

of like I'm sure a lot of it is her having this anxiety and she doesn't want to continue to feel that Yeah. You know, and it's like all these movies and then you still watch the news, like you said, Maximo. And yeah, it is, it is tricky. But yeah, I think there could be a place where they can meet in the middle for something. Like, there is sheriffs that work in the office. And there's other, like, detective work that you're like not as active. It seems though that he wants to be that guy.

Yeah. Yeah. And he's probably always been that guy. Yeah. He's probably always been either protector or some type of like, I'm kind of like, I don't mind that risk, right? 100%. So it's the type of person you are too. I don't see nerds and like squares and people that don't want to fight or the people that don't have like that in them going towards these type of jobs too.

And I'm sure he's also aware of like the benefits of being eventually becoming a police officer or sheriff will like go to his kid and his wife. The city, you know, it covers everything from health to in case there is an emergency if it were to ever happen. Yeah. Julio, we see where you're at. We see where your girl's at. I don't know if we can give you straight up advice right away, but that's why we need people to call in. And you know what?

If you've ever dated somebody that's in some type of authority, or you've been in the armored truck service, or you wanted to be a police officer, and you didn't or you did, like, we want to know what your deciding factor was because we got to help out the homie, Julio, okay? 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 got your fault. The homie. Plice. Julio needs help. Julio!

All right, he's trying to get that money. His girl can get in the way because she's scared. Hey, tell her, scared money don't make no money. Exactly. You scared to go to church, girl. Yeah, so Julio, he is working at a armored guard truck company, and he's actually doing that to get experience to join the San Antonio Police Department or OC sheriffs in a few months, but his girlfriend is already not liking his current job.

thinking is too dangerous and the next one is going to be way more dangerous. I laugh in the face of danger. Exactly. I wonder what the experience is of the armor truck to the cops. I don't know. Like I wonder what that experience is like transporting money or what's it? Because that's the armor truck, right? Yes.

But also, okay, so like cash handling, like when I was in working at Taco Bell, I went to work at Taco Bell specifically for cash handling experience. For the bank. So I could work at the bank later. So then you can be a cop. Yeah. So like. But it's like, you know what I'm, yeah. So I'm like maybe he has gun handling experience.

Maybe. Oh, they can get guns. Oh, yeah, yeah. So that he can carry. And then so now he can go to the sheriff's department with some experience. Like I know how to hold the gun. Yeah. So it's like kind of like a stepping stone in a way.

Stepping stone. Got it. Yeah. Well. So that I'm thinking that's probably it. And maybe just getting comfortable in those type of high leverage moments. Yeah. Right?

Because it's like, Like, Okay, we have 30, you know, seconds to be in and out of this place or whatever cases, you know, and that's, that's useful for when he does, you know, certain things. Cop stuff. Cops. Yeah.

Cops. When he plays cops and robbers. Yeah. Okay. So his girl that just had their baby, they're like about five months? Yeah. Five-month-old baby says this is very, this is very concerning for me. I want you to get a new job, which I get it.

Like her concern. Yeah. She's going to have, you should love that your girl. cares? Yes. But also, this is crazy. Love that she cares, but don't care about what she cares about. Love that she cares, it's still what you understand.

You got to show her like you understand. But I'm going to do what I want to do. Yeah, you got to show her you understand. So what can help, if you're going to stay in this gig, what can help, like, I guess, soothe over things for her? I got an idea. What? Carrying a ring camera on your body.

You should get a job as a security outside of a strip club. And then that way she has something else to complain about. And you go back to the other job, you know? I like that. I like that. that. I like that. Go back to your old work environment. I don't like this one.

This one gives me anxiety. I don't like diamond over there. That's advice. That's advice. We got more people that have advice, right, Irene? Yeah, we have Mona from Monabello on line 6. Hello, Mona. Hi, Mona.

Mona. Hello? So she's on an airplane. Mona. Mona. Mona, Mona, bono. One. Take yourself up mute.

Twice. Me my momona. Mona. All right, Mona. She's gone. Oh, Mona. Dang. That's it?

No, I have more colors. We'll go to Angel from Orange County. I'd like to. Angel from the OC. Angel. Hey, what's going on? All right, talk to us, Angel. What would you say to this, dude, Julio?

I actually lived that, so I can definitely attest to what he's saying. My ex-wife didn't want me to join the military. So I went ahead and applied and went for police. I got to the academy. She was saying the same thing, her anxiety and all that stuff. So I didn't end up going to police or military. I actually worked for a school district, which I love now. But I do regret it.

I think that you should always follow your passion. We only have one life to live. And if he gets hired and he decides that it is too dangerous or things are happening that, you know, could take more to his family. He doesn't want to do that. You can always quit. Yeah. Okay.

Talk to me, Angel, because you made these decisions. You know if your ex-wife didn't tell you, don't do it, you would have been either in the military or in law enforcement, correct? Yeah, absolutely. It was because you took her opinion into account that you were like, you know what, I'm not going to do it. But then you and her didn't work out because that's your ex-wife. Yeah.

Exactly. But you think even if you did work out, it would be worth it? Like if you and her still had a great marriage, it would have been worth it. to leave those passions behind, or would you still feel like I regret this decision? Oh, I regret it the whole time. Oh, I just do what I thought was right for my family. Yeah.

But at the same time, you know, doing what was right for me in family is great. Right. The thing I do is right for you at the same time. Right. And what was it that made you want to go into the military and made you want to then be a police officer? Because it seems like you're playing in the same type of field. Like you're like, ah, if I can't do one, I'm going to do the other one.

And it seems like he's that same way. Like there's something that about, that that's pushing you towards that type of the field? I have always naturally gone towards the danger. I'm on towards helping people and doing emergencies and stuff like that. I've never ran away. Yeah. Far.

It was just it was natural for me. Dang. And now you work in the school district. You're like, come over here, a little punk's trying to jump a little kid. I got you. Like, dude. You know, actually, what I actually do is I go to the danger. I go to all the at-risk kids. Wow.

That's awesome. What they're doing. I'm into them. I'm a coach So instead of Being the one that they have to talk to later on I try to prevent them having to talk to a police officer later Wow I love that

That's great I like Hey somewhere your ex-wife is like I did that for you Yeah And you where you at because of me Don't worry much Wow

Shout to Angel Sounds like a great human being Because she went And I think sometimes people are like Misconstrued what it means Like you think you might be violent because you want this type of jobs and you think you might be a certain way

or aggressive. But it's like, no, I want to help in these types of situations, right? They're going in with the right mindset. Yeah. Dang, it's crazy. She can love her job but still regret the decision

to not be in the other. Because you're always going to have that like, dang, like, what if my life would have been so different. I would have been making a lot more money. All right, Irene, who else is on the line? We have Ramito from San Fernando online one. What's up, Ramido? How's going, brown bag?

How are you? Good, good, thank you. Ramino, do you know that you have one of my favorite names? Yeah, I like the name. You can say it back. I have one of your favorite names. I never liked it too much, but... I love the name.

Yeah. Well, anyways, that's neither here or another. It's hard to pronounce. Yeah. Okay, well, cool. All right, talk to us about what you would tell, Julio. Yeah. All right, so me, kind of a little similar to the last caller,

but different. I'm actually a current law enforcement officer and I have actually been doing it for 12 years now. I was actually in the military as well. I kind of used that because I actually grew up here in San Fernando. Come on. Come on. You know, I wanted to join the military

because I was actually, you know, born in Mexico, came over here, went to the military with my green card, became a citizen, and then I've always wanted become a law enforcement officer and that never stopped me. What's it called? You've got to follow your dream. Now that I'm in it, looking back, I have two kids, you know, my wife at the time, you know, she went through major surgery, whatever.

And if it wasn't for this job with the benefits that it provides, you never know going into what's going to happen along the way. But, man, you know, I'm thankful for this career, you know, has good benefits. when I retire has good benefits. I think you just got to stick to it. Like I understand the whole situation when it comes to, you know, that guy's girl, you know, being scared. My wife was the same way at the time.

She was, you know, every day, you know, take care, you know, because you never know what you're going to face and when you go out every day. But, you know, you just got to rely on your training. And like he's doing, he's doing that armor thing. Yeah, it's a big benefit because you're dealing with risk every day. Um, when you, um, I'm assuming he carries a gun. Right.

You always got to be aware of your surroundings. You never know what's going to happen. And that kind of goes into law enforcement. When, when you wear that uniform, you, you're prepared to, you know, take on what the day has to offer, whatever that may be. Right. And then you just got to, you know, like for me, it's always been like that. It's just, I've always, you know, wanted to give back to the community as well.

That's why, you know, I came back and I'm here in San Fernando and I currently work as a law corpse in an officer and it's just you know um he just got to follow his dream because you don't want to be like the last caller and kind of regret it because you know you know you know it you'll you'll regret it for the rest of your life and at this point i don't you know i i enjoy it and you know it's yeah it's a risk you got to take when you put on the uniform but in the long run it's all worth high risk high reward yep yeah yes yeah damn that does make sense yeah but you also not with your girl anymore either like what i'm finding is that you guys you're choosing you're doing. Don't even end up with the girl.

Wow. But you got up with the job that you want it. 50% divorce rate no matter what. A lot of that, you know, I ain't going to lie. I was with my girl or my wife at the time for 20 years. And it had nothing to do with the job. It's just we we both, you know, kind of just separated. Grew apart. And, you know, we just, we grew apart. And, you know, like I said, you know, even she recently just had surgery actually now that we're separated like a few weeks ago and that would have costed thousands out of pocket

but thank God that you know this job and you know covered that for her because if not I would be in debt you know we would be in debt together still you know well shout out to you man hey how do you feel about like cop jokes like do they get on your nerves you know what no

they don't because growing up as a kid here and like said went to San Fernando High yeah Went up in middle school, we clown our cops, you know. Yeah. Growing up, it was just a thing. Smells like bacon. Yeah.

Yeah. It doesn't bother me because, you know, I clown and, you know, whatever, I do the same thing. Right. As a law enforcement officer, we're all human beings. We got to live the life like anyone else, you know. Fortunately, you know, some people don't see that, but I have a family. I have friends and stuff like that. And I just live my life and have fun.

When I'm not wearing that uniform, I'm having fun and enjoying the time. Yeah. And you got the one with the guns. Yeah, but don't play too much because he got it on them. Got it on me. It smells like baking. Watch your mouth. Hey, I'm not going to clown you because you are a cop,

but I am going to climb you because you went to San Fernando High and I went to Samar High Fool. So what's up with it? My little pussycat over there. Slimar. My little, oh my God, we are fighting. I'm hanging up on you right now. Your ex-wife was right.

Whatever you guys broke up about, it was right. Let these views do not reflect the brown back. I don't want to. tickets when I'm in time for Nana. Yeah, true. Okay, we'll find. Still, Mark got you, though. All right, what's up?

We have Charles on line, too, from Orange County. Charles. What's going on? What's up, I want to say? What's up, Charles? Hey, what would you tell this dude, Julio? So he works at an armored truck thing right now, and his girl thinks, you know what, this is too dangerous.

He likes it because he wants to be a cop later for Santa Ana, so around your area. And she's like, no, this is too dangerous. We just had a five-month-old. I feel really scared. And so he's wondering, should I pick another occupation to help out with my little family situation? Or should I pursue this type of industry that I want to be in? Right. Yeah.

So here's the thing that I'm going to speak on that. I mean, so without saying too much, I guess you could say I'm a man of many masks. And the mask that I'm focusing on right now is I'm in the gold and jewelry business. Oh, okay. Because I was going to say you're from the OC. They didn't believe in the masks. Yeah. So just throwing it out there.

You're men of many trades. All that being said, though, you know, I've done personal training. I've done, I was in the healthcare, healthcare industry, and I even did some, like, professional fighting back in the day. Wow. Now, I say all this, and I was with a girl back in the day who, I guess you could say, I chose love or I chased that before putting my career first or my career in general. And long story short, we didn't end up together and I missed out on that opportunity.

And I guess I'm saying all of this just basically to say, if Homeboy got a dream or something that, you know, I understand that he got a kid and everything and like, you know, that plays a role too for sure. But if he got a dream that he's going after is something that he's passionate about, definitely I say for sure like go for that you know well thank you so much my man of many trades many masks

I have questions of why you can't keep a job because your jobs are everywhere but we'll talk about that later I saw jewelry right now before I used to fight before I used to be a laundry sounds a little swindly sounds of not swindly

I wonder what city he stayed at he only said OC huh yeah he's a man of many masks he cannot explain of Nanyu Mas is crazy. I was like, are you a spy? Yeah. I was about to say like, are we talking to a like a secret service?

Yeah. You have to look at this guy. Yo, we talked to. What's that one fool that has so many trades, but he's a scammer? Leonardo DeCaptio played him in that one movie. How does he say, Maximo? Someone is yelling at it. Oh, it's, um, catch me if you can.

Catch me if you. He's that fool. Yeah. We see you. We're on you, bud. We're on you, bud. Light Jet. All right.

I think we help. He's going to do it. Yeah, I think so. Hey, you're going to do it. You guys are going to break up. But hey. What? You're going to who said 57% rape, whatever, divorce.

You're right. 50% divorce rate. What I'm learning from all the colors is that, hey, go for it. Either way, you're going to end up. Yeah. Yeah. No matter what. Love coming up.

But at least you have a job. We have the one that didn't pursue it and then ended up breaking up. And the one that did pursue it and they ended up breaking it. Yeah. So, bro. There you go. There's more than one way. Find a new, yeah.

More than one way to skin a cat. All right. You guys are going to break up no matter what. And the homie has been helped. That's right. You're welcome. So yesterday, why did we even bring this up yesterday? I forgot.

You just wanted to say Mamones on air. I did not, but. There's a fruit in El Salvador. Yes. Camamones. I have them. And Maximo brought him up. And I'm like, oh my gosh, I love that fruit.

My dad would always get it, so I called my dad. And I said, hey, dad, can you bring him? And we were explaining to the crew, it's just a trip. The fruit that you've ate is probably 1% of the fruit that's around the world. I know, right? Like, there's so much fruit you don't know about. You just know, like, we think of bananas and apples and peaches and even like oranges. And maybe, oh, Starbitts has dragon fruit and stuff like that.

There's a lot of underrated fruit. Everything LASD gives us is all we think about. Right. I know. No one taught us how much fruit there was out there in the world. And so this fruit, oh my God, there's an emergency in the background. Just don't mind it. It's us, not you guys.

So there is a fruit called Mamones, and it comes from El Salvador. And I've ate it my whole life. It looks like a little lime, but also a grape. Because it looks like on a, you weren't supposed to eat it yet, Irene. I haven't ate. Irene's face. So it looks like, okay, well, go ahead, finish what you started. No, I'm looking at it on.

It's like, it's in a vine, low-key like the way that you see. Like a whole little, yeah, a little braids come. Yeah. But they look like little limes, right? But the hard shell, like. It's a hard shell line. It's like the, yeah, you like, you can't eat it. The point is to crack it open and then inside it kind of looks very jelly filled, but there's a seed.

So you can't really eat it too crazy. Yeah. Go ahead and try it. Mexicans. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's it.

Yeah. You buy it. It's a fruit. I'm still not going to say it. It's a fruit for you guys. It's really gooey. It's really gooey. So you just like.

Suck on it, pause? Yeah. Yeah. And the texture, it's like soft and jelly. It's good. It's like very enjoyable texture. It is. If you haven't tried one, you should definitely.

Suck on the mom on this. It's crazy because I am sucking on one way now. Feel the seed too. Yeah. Hey, yo. Yeah, but this is fine. I definitely recommend it. Yeah, definitely, I don't know where my dad got it,

and I'm not going to tell you because I'm not going to burn the spot because. And I love your dad for. For you, you calling him? And then at night when you arrived, they're already there. He's like, hey, miha, I got the fruit. And he also got me jokotes. I thought you thought I was going to say another word. Hokotes are the best.

Sorry, guys, we're trying this, and you just need to try too. Now look at these jokotes there that says productos Maya. You guys are Mayan. A. B. Shabel means, hi, how are you? How are you? How do you know. Because I learned a little Mayan over there when I was in Chulam. It means, hi.

How are you? Yeah. All right. Well, look, keep it here. because after this song, we have your tickets to see Playboy Party. We're going to eat some Hokotes and some Ammonis. Be right back to R106 round like mornings. What's up?

This is Be Real from Cyprus Hill. Where are you from, Esse? Don't you know I'm local? All right? So there's fires going around everywhere, right, you guys? Yes. Yeah. There was actually a fire at a Cyprus home in Orange County,

and they rescued a turtle, a dog, and a rat. in the fires. Ew, why would these things and G. Angie, because it was a pet. It was a pet. Pet rat? Let the rat die.

Is that a lot? Fire crews responding to a Cyprus home helped rescue two people and several pets Thursday morning and I just want to give up because we were talking about turtles the other day. Turtles and rats.

No, turtles and the snake you said, right? No. Turtle, rat. Oh, dog, sorry. I don't know why that. It sounds like a beginning of a joke. I was about to say, yeah. Turtle dog, Ragged on Bar.

Yeah. Shout out to the turtle and the dogs. Viva. A turtle. It's all yeah. Yeah. But I just want to big up to our turtle friends that came through and we had so many calls and so many comments about people that had turtles and the names of their turtles. It was crazy.

I like turtles. Did you see that they found that kid? Like that I like turtles kid? Like they used them as promo for Teenage Meant Ninja Turtles. Oh, that's awesome. Like as a grown up now. But with the same face paint. It's a weird face paint kid.

Yeah. I like turtles. I like turtles. And they found them and like, yeah, that's pretty cool. Enough about turtles. So the boys were listening while we were having that conversation. And I was like, hey, Luciito, Horito, you're going to get a new pet. And they come.

And after school, when I saw him, oh, wait, we're about to have, like, a councilman come in. Sorry. Sorry. Well, let's just forget what everybody was just said. Hi, Otto. Wow. Good morning. Good morning.

We are live on air on Power 106, Brownback Mornings, and we have a visitor. Otto, who's visiting with you? Oh, it's assembly member Chris Holden. I don't do a good job introducing him because he just blew our minds because he took over a Cali, 939, and started speaking in Spanish. Wow. The takeover has begun. Hello, how are you? Hello.

Assembly member Holden, how are you? I'm great. It's a pleasure to be here today. I think it's amazing that Power 106 is such a vital voice in the community. And so I'm happy to be here to be a part of seeing the way. work that you do, entertaining, but also educating and informing. Incredible. Appreciate that. And what was

it that you were like, you know what? I have to go over there and bless him with my tall presence because we are very short. I am 4.11 and a half. You sitting down are taller than me already. Oh, for real. Well, you know, there was a time when the height really came in to play. I played basketball at San Diego State. No way. Amazing.

Now I play politics in Sacramento. Let's go. Okay, okay. Power forward center. Are you more of an offensive player or a defensive player in politics? Well, it depends. Nowadays, I'm playing a little bit more defense than I would prefer. No, I'm enjoying it.

It gives us an opportunity to hear the voices of the people and be able to represent them in Sacramento and policy. And so it's an exciting place to be. Incredible. Where does one make the shift of like, you know what? I'm balling in the court and now I want to do and do my work and help people out and make changes that people see every day? Well, I can tell you, I got an early start in politics.

My dad was a former L.A. City Councilman Nate Holden. Amazing. And, you know, so it's been around me. But it really connected when I finished school, and it gave me an opportunity to get my first job working at East Los Angeles Detention Center, juvenile hall. Wow. And from there, I'm in the place where I'm seeing young people that were not that much younger than me.

And I thought, you know what, there's something I can do, giving back. And so I started to get involved in public service, and here I am in the legislature. Were there any particular stories or instances that you came across somebody or a certain group of people and you were like, man, I want to really make a change. I want to like get involved, like really hands on. Well, I would say early on, because my dad was sort of the role model for me, I could see his dedication that, you know, fighting for the underdog, I think was really the play. I mean, a lot of people get involved for a lot of different reasons. But when you come from a community where people are really needing the services to happen and it takes a lot of work because there are sometimes forces that would like to see resources that spend some people. place else and I think that in the underserved communities we have to fight harder and to be in a position where you can help make change happen that's what caused it to happen for me so I call it a family business and here I am what a

family business my dad's a locksmith wow that's cool did you grow up here in Ellie or where did you grow up I grew up in Pasadena okay okay I want to talk to you about this because we just had someone last hour we do this thing called the Homi Helpline and we want to to help like our homies out right so we had Julio who DMed us and said you know I currently work in I'm a guard in armored trucks I want to become a police officer I want to help people but my girlfriend who just had my baby five month old is saying I'm too afraid for you you know similar like your line of work you're dealing with a lot you're dealing with people on the ground but you're also dealing

with politics and the ramifications of that of what that may be good or bad if you could give this guy advice because we're trying I think we told him to leave his girlfriend but We say you're going to get divorced anyway. Yeah. And the divorce is crazy. But you see someone that generally wants to help somebody then kind of being told by their family. And granted, you had a supportive family

because your father was in it as well. But try to be like, no, I'm afraid for you. Yeah. Well, I think in life you have to follow your passion. And, you know, sometimes you can't predict what all the challenges will be along the way. But if you have your passion that's driving you and you understand how you can connect that

and be a positive force, I would say follow the passion. And so I think the family will start to come along and be supportive. I think that, sure, there's risk in some professions, but we need good people and to be public servants and law enforcement. And so if he's got that medal, I'd say follow it. Be the cop, leave your girl. Yeah.

We're kidding, we're kidding. It's been a pleasure to have you here. I'm sure you know that when you come and you're, talk on power, you are talking to the people that you are affecting the most with the work that you do. So on behalf of all of us, thank you for the way. Thank you. Thank you. God bless you. Thank you. Yeah, and you're very tall. I wish people could lend inches. I really, how tall are you? I'm 6'8. Wow. I did play basketball at San Diego State, so I'm very proud of my alma mater. Come on.

That's sick, right? Yeah, that's sick. Wait, did you play against any future NBA players when you were playing? Danny Aange. Oh, wow. Trader Danny Aange. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Trader? Why traitors? No, like, that's like his nickname because he trades all his players. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's a Celtic. He's a Celtic. He's a Celtic. Yeah. That could have been you.

That could have been you. Are you a Laker fan? Oh, yeah, big time. Oh, yes. All right. You hear that, Maximo? He's a clipper fan over there. Yeah, I used to listen to Chick-Hern and Laker games where I didn't have to have a TV because, you know, he made it real. Yes, you could visualize it. Connected to the players and the unit. That's awesome. What are the Lakers doing this year? Are we going to take the chip? I think so.

I think they got chemistry happening this year. Yeah. I think that's going to go a long way. I like to hear that. He has my vote. I don't know if I could vote for him, but he has my vote. They got some kind of science. I don't know if it's chemistry.

It kind of feels like biology or I don't know one of those, but they got it going. And we're going to root for them regardless. There you go. Oh, I see a lot of Lake Dodgers. Are you going to say anything Padre because you went to San Diego State? Okay, no. All right. He knows.

It's all Dodgers. That's all, baby. Yes, our favorite council member. That's right. Thank you so much for coming through. Of course. Thank you so much. The Tia is the villain.

The Tia? All right, I don't know if you've been catching Brownback Power 106, L.A's number one for hip-hop. A, that tall-last council member came through and he was really tall. Super tall. And Lokee, our guy, Otto, he's the president of the company. He just said, you know what, I don't care what you're doing. I'm going to open the door and you're going to talk to the video. No prep, nothing.

But you know what? We did it. And that guy was pretty cool, actually. That guy was really cool. Yeah, wasn't he? The council assembly member. man. Hey,

anybody know his name? Nate. No, that was his dad. Council member Holden. Holden, yeah. And he went to San Diego. He went to San Diego State. Not Hulk Hogan.

Holden. He almost went pro. He was really tall, you guys. We took a photo and he sat down and we stood up and he was still tall in the nice. That was really cool, though. That was amazing. Yeah, it makes me proud that we could talk to political people. Oh, yeah.

I'm like, hey. And just, you know, throw some jokes. Vote for me. And then... I just didn't like he wasn't a clipper fan. You know, San Diego, Kauai went there. Like, come on, bro. Support both of us.

Both of us? Both of us. No, he has my votes. Assembly member Chris Holden. Chris Holden. Dude, we called him council member. Fueros. Fuhros now.

Fuer all of us. Fuer us now. He was so nice. I need like a diagram that shows me like the level. What's an assembly member? What's the councilman? I don't know either. One goes to assemblies.

The other one goes to the house. And I also need like a lower third for people like in real life. You know how on TV? We can't do that. We got to know who people are. A lower third? When they walk in? You're like the fool that has met people over and over again and still doesn't know who they are.

I know. I'm so bad at that. It's okay. I'm so bad at that. All right. Well, that was great. Well, that was great. And shout out to everybody.

Thank you for bearing with this. through it all. We've been trying to convince Angie that her Tia hates her. She doesn't hate me. Yes, she hates you. She hates kids. She hates you and she hates kids so we're gonna just talk about our villain aunts so she can get the picture next. Okay, keep it here at 5106 LA's number one for hip-hop. That's right. You yelled at me, Stephen. What happened? Let's go. Sorry guys.

Steven yelled at me. We're having a discussion about you. Si-Fi, Stephen yelled at me. What is that? Are you making errors? What's going on? The error was him yelling at her. Oh, it was a verbal error today. I like how you actually addressed it this time, Seifai.

Thank you, Saifai. Okay, well, what were we doing here? I just found out that all my tias love me a lot. No, you found out that the evil Tia is only for girls. Yes, that's what you just found out. Yeah, because my tias love me. Yeah. I'm my favorite.

We literally asked a room. Hey, does anyone have an evil Tia? All the girls said yes and all the boys don't think I have it. But Angie's in denial. You have one. You have one. You always talks about a particular Tia. Let me just give you a little rundown of this particular Tia.

Let's name her stats. This was her babysitter, right? Number one, that would send out Angie and her, was it when your sister was four? I was four and she was three at the two. To take out the trash in the outside. And the alley. Sent a four and a five-year-old out to do that. Four and three?

Three and a four? Yeah, three and a four. Shut up. Yeah. She was three. I was four. Think of Luisito. You would send him.

No. And someone smaller? She doesn't love you, Angie. She doesn't love you. It was different times. Okay. One time while she was throwing out the trash with her three-year-old little sister and Angie was four, they got robbed. They got their little gold chain snatched.

Yeah. My sister's baptism. And what happened when you told your Tia? That same Tia? She just told us to go back inside. Yeah. Did she still make you guys go outside after that? to take out the trash?

Or did it stop her for a little bit? She stopped it for a little bit, and then we would still play outside. Okay. What outside she did? Because she's done other things besides that. I've gotten lost to swap me, but it was my fault because I stated.

No, it wasn't your fault. That's victim mentality on her. She was shopping at the swap meet, and so she was shopping for like a dress, and so I went into the little changing rooms where it's just curtains, right? And I was just looking at myself in the mirror, and then I come outside and she wasn't there.

She was gone. She tried to leave you. And I just went to. to the security guard but she wasn't looking for me she wasn't looking for you I had to find her still shopping that's crazy not the kid gets lost and the kid find the adult and then the other time was that um we were walking I forgot where but I was super tired we were walking for like an hour and I remember and I told her I'm like I'm so tired and she was like in the she was pushing the stroller for my sister and I told him like I'm so tired she's like well if you want

you can just go back and go back to the house oh yeah and I took that literally And so I left. You walk back to the house by yourself. Yeah, it's in the hood. Yeah. But to me, she told my mom that story. And she was telling my mom. She was just laughing.

Like, yeah, you just see like a little person just walking. And then it disappears. Like, I guess she went back home. Those are three instances. Three instances. She's tried to have you kidnapped. Three. One with the alley and the chola.

One at the shopping. And one, just walked back home by yourself. How old are you? I was probably like four. Wow And then I told my mom I didn't want her to babysit me anymore Because I would get hungry

And she wouldn't feed me And you really think Get te quii Like you think she likes you And then when I was like I was learning how to crawl That she had like a roommate That she was doing her

She had a curling iron And she left it on the floor And I crawl And that's why I have like an iron Blanche up burn Yeah same And then Yeah

There's a lot of it You guys It's okay You should have told your mom That she trapped you in a dryer That wasn't her No that was No, that was, that's how I get rid of somebody.

You were the one that did that and the babysitter didn't deserve it. Yes. So, but that's not the. Yeah, it was something else. But that's my Tia. And she's, till this day, I still, you know, she talks to me. She calls me. She told me happy birthday.

She told you happy birthday. Yeah. She left me a message. She's just surprised that you've stayed around this long. I was going to tell you that she's proud of you surviving all of her attempts or what? Like she has some respect for you now? Yeah. She needs an alias.

When it does happen, you know, it couldn't be me. I wish her happy birthday. I love her. I love my needs. I don't think so. I don't think she hates me. I do not see it. I don't see it.

She's just done a lot of things that someone that hate you would have done. She's just trying to get rid of you a couple times. She just forgets things. That's it. Which comes to the fact that it's a girl thing, right? Okay, because yeah, you asked that. And I was like, yep, I have the Tia in my head of that is evil that would feed me rotten, Wayabas, but she would feed the other kids like the good fruit.

And I just remember, like, telling my dad. I don't want to go to her house anymore. And then my dad, what they do, and I don't know why they do this, they confront the Tia with you there. And so it's my dad's sister. And he's like, hey, why are you training Latte like this? And then she's like, Mika, no, not me. I would never letty.

Like, and then. So then I'm like, okay, I guess she didn't do that. Because you feel. Yeah. I just picture a little letti. Yeah, like, what? And so, but that was it. Are the theas the first gaslighters?

Yes. Yeah, definitely. For the girls for sure. For the guys, we had, I'm telling you, my guy cousins in that little group that she would watch live in life. Oh, yeah. There's a guy who has beef with his theias. Who is it? Jose?

Yeah. Okay, what happened? You beef with your Tia. I beef with all of them. Okay. Every single last one of them. These stories better be good. Because maybe you're the problem.

Maybe I am. Okay. But they just feel like I'm not like the model older cousin. What if that means? I'm like the oldest cousin. Okay. So they would all kind of look up to me. Yeah.

But they're like, oh, no, Jose. Like, I've always been like the black sheep in the family. Oh. So they're like, no, I don't want them to be like him. Or they start buying certain things that I like. That's not you, though, because sheep are small. What? Aw.

It's okay, you guys. He likes this. Let's use my, Tia. He likes this. Now we care about feelings. Right. Now we care about feelings. Okay, what is this, Tia?

Like, which one in particular is like the head, min Tia? Oh. Just tell me about her. You don't have to say her name. Okay. But just tell me about her. This one time.

was giving my cousin a ride to school and we're parked in the parking lot for a bit because you don't want to go into school like right away yeah you want to chill because I took him early and then we were he was like in a elementary and so we were just showing a parking lot and he wanted to take pictures I was like okay let's let's make funny pictures so I put a bag over my head and I was like making faces Wait, how are you making faces if there's a bag over your head, Jose? Well, like, just like, I'll bring anime. Yeah, with your hand, with your hand, got you.

And then, me, Tia saw all the pictures because we sent it to her. Yeah. And then she sent it in like a family group chat. Look at your son. This is an example. Oh, my God. Like, they always go to my mom. Oh, they probably have beep with your mom and then they use you to, like, say things to your mom.

It took it down. Maybe the beef, the real beef is. Yeah. They're probably haters to your mom. See, this kid, whoa. Why are you laughing? You would clown the picture too, Angie? Yeah.

Like, what? We already know Angie's the mean. How old are you? Yeah. How old was her? Yeah. At that type. I was probably like 19.

Yeah, I don't blame you. Look, I know Angie. I know Angie. But I don't blame you because, legit, you're taking their kid to school. So how bad of a parent are you that I'm taking your kid to school? No, and I'm always the one they ask for like. Yeah.

You're probably the favorite cousin to when like your cousins love you? Oh, yeah. No, they don't. My cousins love me. My Tias hate me. Wow. Angie, stop laughing at him. Your Tia hates you and your Tia.

You're not hate me. Your Tia tries to get ridden for many times. She does not hate me. We want to hear about your evil Tias, your evil aunts, what they did to you. Just so, like, as Angie's hearing your story, she can come to the realization that, hey, it's happening to her. My Tia loves me. I don't know about that one. She didn't even know your name.

So when I was. What? She makes what? Mole? That's it? Yeah, it has poison in it. Yeah. Makes her pete da'olita for me?

No, she does, and Angie, you're lying. Now she does. now but like because she respects your gangster because you survived all this she doesn't want you to tell on her what you are doing all right big how do they treat you okay so i kind of grew up with like a lot of my tias because i was um like they're like only like six seven years older than me right your generation's like yeah um my dad had had had me young so um so my they like they always took care of me since i was a baby like i literally was like their baby they would babysit me

No float is, no nothing. She used to throw money into the pool and just throw us all in there, the whole family. What kind of money though? Was it like dollar bills or like quarters and dimes?

No, it was like quarters. Yeah, it couldn't be dollars. So rude. Dollars float. Yeah. And the coins just flow. Wow. Okay.

Do you have an evil Tia, an evil aunt? So I do. I do. My Tia, actually, a couple years ago, I got engaged. And I told my family, and I was very excited. And then my Tia invites me over to her house. And I find out when I get there, oh, my mom's there. My sisters are there.

My rest of my family's there. she threw an engagement party and invited all of her family, all of her friends. My fiance's side was not there. What? And didn't tell anybody. So we had an engagement party that she wanted to just like throw for me. What? I don't know.

It was her invite. No, it's not. It's weird. See, this is the thing about Diaz. Dias are good at this. I am one. If you do something that seems nice, but it's not nice. It's like complicit.

It's like backhanded. So yes, it's nice that I made you. a party so you better be thankful but on purpose I didn't invite your man I didn't invite your man's family like I wanted control of something that's your life which is crazy I was just thinking because she didn't have their number their phone their she didn't want to make that effort she didn't want to kick it with him yeah how'd you feel about that my mom my mom was so sad I was like the first one to get engaged and she was like so excited we were already talking about it and my aunt my tea knew that we were talking about it already.

And then she just went off and like, oh, well, I already threw it for you. And, like, exactly what you said. She likes to be nice, but she was not nice. Wow. And see, just even how Angie's reacting to your story, she's never going to understand that her Tia hates her because you could, it's clear as day about your Tia. Yeah, your Tia hates her. I mean, everyone's capable of change, Angie.

I believe in you. Yeah. And we believe in you, Angie. You'll get there. You'll get there. You'll get there. Erica, your Tia hates it, but not mine. Oh, my gosh.
