What's up? This is Be Real from Cyprus Hill. Where are you from, Es? Don't you know I'm local? Oh, L.A. Hotels, you've got some splady to do. Meet me at the hotel room. That's what they've been telling people on Skit Row. It's crazy. Okay, according to the union, that has been representing workers in the largest hotel strike in the U.S., which is now. Right now, they're striking in Santa Monica.

in Los Angeles for fair wages for good time off and all that good stuff which they deserve because no one really takes care of us like people from hotels. And people leave a mess. I've seen some rooms. Right? And in all other things. A lot of other things, right? They definitely

deserve it but apparently according to union representatives these hotels have been hiring like have been hitting up hiring agencies and the agencies have been going to places like Skid Row shelters even getting migrants to have came in from I've been busting through Texas

to have them work in the place of the workers that are on strike and get this, this is where it kind gets a little bit or a lot of bit criminal and the DA is investigating them because they've been hiring underage people allegedly underage kids, not giving

people that they have hired breaks and paying them reportedly people have come forward saying, hey, they're paying me in Zell. When they're corporations like this they got to pay you through W-2s, 99s. It goes through its own process, okay?

But that's crazy. That is wild. So they're making them cross the picket lines without them really even knowing. Because they're just like, okay, we got a job. Cool, I got a job. It's self. For them, there's all upside. They're like, they don't even take out my taxes. Some of them just got here, especially

if it's like, okay, these are the ones that are getting busted through Texas. So they think like, okay, I'm getting hired. Like straight off this bus? Wow, Vib. They don't know that there's a strike going on. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? A recruit? And they're walking out of the bus

Hey, you, you, you, you, you're getting at the hotel room. They said 15. That's fine, just come over here. Yeah, it doesn't matter. That's crazy. That's really messed up. Super messed up. And the thing is too is like, dang, you're going to have these work because you're giving them unfair, unfair working conditions too.

They're going to be striking alongside the fools that are already striking. Wait till they find out about breaks and lunches. Yeah. Wait, wait, wait, wait, we get a 30-minute lunch, come on. And PTO. Yeah. Yeah. There, what is it?

What's that request for me you have to do? The lunch, the one that you guys have to do here? Oh, the meal penalty. All the forms. They got to hit up HR, all of that. Wait until they find there's an HR. I know. Look, it says some said they were given no prior information on how much they would be paid hourly.

All the others said they were told them the first day that they'd be getting paid $19 an hour. A 17-year-old migrant who spoke out said, look, I missed two days of school to clean rooms at the holiday in LA eggs. And that his mother, who also works as a house keeper, was paid through Zell. And that's not okay. No. Like, everything has this process. I could pay through Zell for, like, me and you just, like, having, like, an interaction and exchange.

Not freaking my job paying through Zell. And that thing also sucks that a lot of these people don't know any better. Yeah. So they're going and they're crossing these picket lines without even realizing it. And they're probably being mistreated by not only the people striking. Yeah. Because I've been, like, not walked through a strike. And they're mad at you for like going to work for the man.

It's like, bro, we're out here. I'm just trying to get some money. Yeah. You know? That's exactly what the DA, uh, Gascon said. He said, the misdrement of vulnerable workers and their exploitation will, exploitation will not be tolerated. All right.

So they're going to do a full on investigation on this. Yeah. But I'm hoping it does better than that investigation that they had for the, the, the movie lots that started cutting the trees to give no shape. Oh, yeah. They only find those fools. Like literally nothing. It was like, yeah, we found out that we need to get 300 bucks from them.

Yes, that's malicious. Like what they did with the studio lots did with the trees, making it so the people picketing have no shade, that's malicious, dog. That is wild. We're in these weird strike wars and it's crazy. I know this is happening. His whole year has been strike after strike. And then you know all the people at the top are connected. So it's like SpongeBob looking for the SpongeBob wanted sign.

Yeah. Hmm, who did that? Who did it? And it's you. Yes, exactly. But also shout out to everyone that's striking right now. But is it pro-no, it's not Providence. St. John.

Kaiser? No, the one that's right here. St. Joseph. St. Joseph. Oh, I'm like St. John's, Provinence. Same is in Mal? Yeah, it's right here in Burbank. They're, the hospital workers, they're striking for five days.

You know who everyone needs to pay attention to? Who? They need to hit up the UPS holes. Because the UPS? Oh, yeah. They got there. They got their strike. They got what they wanted.

They got air conditioning in their cars. Like, come on, bros. You know who else's the truck drivers? Remember? Oh, the truck drivers. They just, like, parked on the freeway for one day. Yeah, we're not doing it. Who else going to move your stuff?

There's a parking lot now. You thought it was a freeway? Right. Shout out of the truck drivers for that. Bigree. Yeah, that was. All right. All right.

We hope the best for all those striking. And yeah, come on. Hotels get it together, bro. Come on. Okay, I will say one thing. At least you're paying them more than the minimum. wage. Yeah.

Or that's what they were told. Yeah. Let's just think that. The rally's getting paid good. And you stopped me. Who signed are you on? Who sent you? I had to check the minimum wage and I'm like, oh, 17.

That's pretty good. You know? No. And it's all sale. They're not getting any taxes. Oh, CNG. No, but look, this is the hospitality industry. Oh, she released.

And that's why they do it. And that's what they do. And then you show up and someone has thrown up all over their room. You have to clean all the toilets, Angelica. And you get no breaks. No breaks. No breaks. Don't take a black light in there.

True, true. But again, don't do that. It's still more than minimum weight. Oh, my gosh. No. It's not about that. It's about the hospitality. We're going to call you Madelica.

Simp or Pimp. Sip. Sip Sip Sip Sip Sip Sip Sip Sip Sip Sip Sip Sip. Good morning, Sims. Good morning, Sips. What's up, Maxim. So a reporter asked Travis Kelsey. Oh, man.

Tideon of the Kansas City Chiefs. Travis Kelsey, that's Taylor's boyfriend, right? Taylor's his boyfriend? Taylor's his boyfriend. Am I right? That's Mr. Swift. He's a great, great tight end, okay? Has been.

He's been for eight years. Super Bowl. Rings. Come on. She has a tight end. So, oh. Whoa. She has a tight end.

She has a tight end. Well, but she knows. Well, they asked Travis Kelsey. about how they can dress like him to complete the ultimate couple's Tavis costume. Tavis? Tavis. Oh, that's her couple's name. That's a bad name.

That's a really bad name. Taylor, this for Travis. It should be just Travis. Nothing will ever be Benefer. That's such a good name. That is a good name. Well, they asked them, how can they dress like him? And this is what he said.

The mustache is slowly starting to disappear, but I'll tell you what, man, that stash in the 87 jersey was pretty iconic there for a little bit. And I had it when I met Taylor for the first time. So I guess just my stash. And then who knows, man? What else? What else? Maybe a bracelet or something, I don't know.

Oh, gosh. They were asking him how to be him for Halloween and he just added a, just make me the couple one. Like, if you want to be me, be the me that met Taylor. And adding a bracelet because that's how I trapped there. It was a stash. That's so gross. He should have added a couple Super Bowl rings. Already we have to deal with the Barbies and Ken's that we're going to see.

Yeah. Yes. Now we're going to see the, what is it? Travi. Tavis. The thing is, he could have said, get some Super Bowl rings. He could have made it by himself. Yeah.

And then he's like, hey, let me just be like the NFL and make this about us. He has accepted his identity as Taylor's men. No. That's how we all know him as. Stop. You guys can't get mad at us for identifying him like that. He said, it's his fault. It's his stressful.

It's not. I think he's just leaning into. He's like, whatever. The whole world just wants me to be this. Stop leaning into it. He's leaning into it. Lean out of it. He knows that.

Lean back. Stand up. He knows that it's going to work in his benefit. How long have they been together? Two weeks. I'm so sick. Literally. What week of the NFL is this?

They started like, they started like week two or three. You think when they break up the NFL is going to do like a whole? whole break down. Press release? Yes. Oh my God. I'm so sorry that they're going to attend their games anymore. Don't let him suck after they break up.

Don't let him suck after they break up because it's going to be all about her. You guys are already mad that we say that he's winning because of her. Okay. That narrative needs to stop. No, it's not true. He's not winning because of her. Yeah, that's his little little charm. No, he's winning because years of hard work, dedication, preparation, and when preparation

meets planning or whatever they say, I don't know. Well, according to CBS sports, they say Travis Kelsey plays better when Taylor Swift is in attendance at his games. Kelsey's average yards per game increases from 46.5 to 99 when Swift is present. See? He'll be showing up for his little. No, that just means that every year he's gotten better. No. And this person happens to be the year.

He's been at his best and she just happens to be there. Why can you accept that a girl makes a man better? It's not. It's because. Didn't you hear what Neil said? I'm a movement by myself, but I'm a force when we're together. She's not even on the field.

It's because the linebackers can't guard them. They're in a nickel package. Oh, you guys are so jelly. They can't stop him in his routes. Yes, come on. Look at his right. Get it right. It's roots, not rounds.

It's crazy. It's rounds. They got hands. I don't know, but it's crazy how you guys are coming in at Taylor and you guys never spoke about this football. before. And now all of a sudden, he's a celebrity and he's in everyone else. Now all of a sudden, let us keep him. But you guys never talked about him before. Thank you, Taylor. Because he was just doing his job on the field. Yeah. And nobody talks about him. Yeah. You know, they're not the

only haters. Because I know this is Cimperpimp, but let's just talk about the haters of this relationship. Because allegedly, Aaron Rogers is jealous of the attention that Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift are receiving. He's not jealous. He's annoyed. He's who's in. He's interested. He's in. He's in. He's, he's in. He's, he's allegedly believes Kelsey's dating Swift for publicity and he has even started a betting pool to predict when they'll break up Hater! That's a... That's hilarious! That's hilarious! That's pretty dope.

That's pretty dope. There's some reiteration in his death rate for sure. Dang, his fantasy team is different. That's wild. That's why. That's not a hater, he just knows. He knows what's going on here. If Aaron Rogers is hating, imagine all the other football players that are hating

that are like, hey, why can't my girl be a pop star? No, they're not hating about her being a pop star. Yeah, they are. They're hating because their girl isn't making them win games. The NFL is putting the cameras on. Their girl doesn't have a cool little handshake, a little white girl handshake, a patty cake, handshake with the other girl. Can we talk about the worst handshake of all time? Did you see that?

You could see her mind going through it was not fluid at all. It was like, okay, one, two, three, four, yeah. Like, that makes me so mad. And they did it very happy. And the worst thing is the NFL decides to. put the camera on her like no leave the cameras on the field yeah well maybe ratings have improved too

yeah they have oh my gosh well back to this Halloween costume there's sim because as much as like this is it this is sin we're all sleeping

and I can't wait till we get free from this situation yes yeah I got money on it too Aaron yeah Aaron yeah what's the over under do you think they make it to the Super Bowl uh isn't she performing the chiefs

you mean the chiefs you mean the chief don't say that for me. Yeah. No, like Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift. Do you think Taylor Swift gets him to the Super Bowl?

Oh, no, no. He's making it to a Super Bowl. I don't think she's going to. Because she's not a player. He's making him better when she's there. Her presence would allow him to even make weight to the Super Bowl. Oh, God. Oh, she's not going to the Super Bowl.

Now she buys a ticket. Honestly, I would rather him not make it. Yeah. You guys. No, let's say the Chiefs do make it to the Super Bowl. Even though they've made it before, didn't they just win? Yes. We're going to say it's because of Taylor.

It's because of Taylor. It's an extra special one because of Taylor. It's a little sprinkle. Oh, my gosh. Sprinkle of luck. Honestly, like, this whole situation is giving me bad blood. Isn't she? Who's performing at the Super Bowl?

Usher. Oh, sure. Yeah. Is she replaced the Usher? Oh, I'm going to. No. It's going to be the worse. It's going to be even worse.

She's going to be dancing. To be performing. No. Yeah, get ready for that. Sim! Sim! Sim! Sim! Sim!

And we're all sad about it. Keep in here. More crying on the way. I need to shake it off. Hey, who's the weirdest girl you've ever dated? We're going to talk about her next. Scrolling with the homies. Just when you thought the world couldn't get weirder.

Just when you thought the world couldn't get weirder. What, Maximo? It is. Whoa, thank you. It's you. Well, there's a girl who is going viral because. she was saying that she has a coffin in her room. A coffin in her room?

A coffin in her room? Like in my girl? Have you seen my girl the movie? Yes. She lived in like a little where they would have the wakes? Mortuary? Yeah. Remember?

Her dad would work in that and she had in her house or something? Damn, I only remember the sad part. RIP to that fool. Yeah, so I remember. But not like that. Not like that. But this girl was talking about having a coffin in her room to stay away from bad dates.

What? What do you mean? Listen. Yes, I keep a full, real coffin in my bedroom. I got it from a place called Casket Builder Supply. And it just is like

unpainted pine. The total size is 6 foot 8 and you for sure need help when you're putting it together. Ever since I was 14, I always wanted a coffin on my own so I can hide away from my problems. The first time I asked my parents

if I could build a coffin bed, they said, no, that would be weird. Well, jokes on them. I have one now. There is four inches of memory foam in here so I can sleep. No, I don't close the lid. However, it is not airtight. It is safe. It's a great way of weeding out

potentially bad dates because ain't no one want to hang out with someone who has a coffin in the room. Anyway, it's a great way to hide away from all my problems. Oh my God. That's wild. Irene, what? This is what you sound like sometimes. I know. Irene nodded yes. By the way, everybody listening.

Irene was nodding yes. It's like, oh, hi from your problems. Get a coffin. Wow. Makes sense. Don't tell me you've slept like this. like with your hands crossed in front of you but if you know what's funny is that my sister if she's laid in the coffin and she has like a bad dream and she like you know when you have a bad dream

and you kind of like wake yourself up what if she like hits the lid and like it closes on her and she rests in peace you know yeah her problems are gone I just wonder if she wakes up like the Undertaker

I know like you have to She sits up I'm thinking the same thing like if you're gonna do it just own the whole thing Like commit to the character? Yes.

And the reason is, like, if you see her and we'll post her Brownback Warnings Windows 6, she's cute. Granted, she has little Dracula teeth on her. She has, like, I know you people, like Hot Topic people, definitely her type. Oh, definitely her type. Like, you would hit on her if you went into Hot Topic. Not you, man. But she's kind of goth. She's like, this would be his gothic girl.

This would be like, that would be her nickname. A vampita, where she at. Vampira. Stay away from goth girls. Oh, my God. Have you ever dated a weird person? Like, you found out they were weird afterwards. Like, they're like, well, or maybe you liked that they were weird.

There's this goth girl. Oh, my God. Of course, it's a goth girl. She was kind of gothic. She wasn't super, like, gothy, but, like, you can tell. What was gauthie about her, Maximo? Like, is this where you got black lipstick from? No.

Did she get you into Chicano Batman? That is a great song. Yeah. That is a great song called Black Lipstick. Okay. But they have a song called Black Lipsick. Sounds goth. Sounds got,

Smire. As long as it's not that pink lipstick from the puppies. No, but she one time said, my smile was like devilish and that's what she liked. And then that scared me. Whoa. Oh my God.

Abort. Abort. Abort. How was it? Were you like, you guys were being goth together? What were you doing? I was not goth at all.

Okay. Yeah. How did you even get in her little black panties? Like, what's that? What happened? We were just chilling. We were like cool. Like, you know,

friends and uh who it was one time she said that what was it you were listening to know the system of down together what's the talk about it it didn't just like kick it it was like in my like graffiti era of time the little tiger and the god's girl so you guys were ditching and you found yourselves in a hopeless place together

yeah yes pretty much something like that and then uh when she said that honestly was like you know I grew up in like a Christian church but how did she say it maximo because I was smiling and then she like just told me like wow like that's something that I like because it's like a devilish smile. And then in the back of my mind, I was like,

Mama told me about you. Yeah. I was just like, Satanas. And then I was like, oh, right. Yeah, thank you. Oh, my God.

I wasn't sure like, do I even say thank you? Right. No, don't take it. Like, what? Don't say thank you. She's going to take you home and she don't have a coffin in your house. That's crazy.

I met her off. Good. Instantly. Did you? I swear. I was like, that was weird. I don't believe you. I think you went back one more time.

Yeah. Possibly. What do you mean devilish? What do you mean? Hussein? All right? No, don't let your mom find out. I know.

I told you these women are the devil. You know what it is? Okay, I just looked at the Diablito from Loteria. Oh, the goat tea. It's a goat tea. The squirrel. Why do you look like the devil from Loteria? He walks among us.

Yeah, so how does she have her fun time in the coffin with some of her. Oh, where her parents are. She doesn't at. We're her parents at. I'm not rocking with it. It's going viral. Check it out. Check out vampira over there.

Yeah Yeah And then Drake also had a birthday party last night. Oh, he did? Yeah, and he had Brian Cranston and Aaron Paul of Breaking Bad, the two main characters. Oh, super tight. He had them serving drinks. He had them as bartenders.

How much do they cost? They're like world-renowned actors, and he had them serving drinks. And he probably had to be, like, up more because, like, I want you guys being the bartender. Yeah, and then they were just, like, being bartender. Like, they're playing the role of bartenders. Like, how rich are you, Drake? Real rich. Was it theme Breaking Bad?

I don't think so. They were, I don't know, like, Brian Cranston's wearing, like, a Hawaiian shirt, and then, like, the other dudes. I'm telling you, they were dressed like regular L.A. bartenders. Was it last year that he did, like, the cowboy theme? Oh, yeah. It was like Nanko team. Yeah. Drake, you keep playing with it.

Yeah. Keep playing with it. So I was bound to happen. Yeah. All right, look, Lil Wayne and the Rock were made into wax figures. Oh, my God. But they were both not feeling them. For real.

I've seen that. So the Greveen's. The Ivan Museum in Paris, France, made a few new wax figures of popular American celebrities, but one of them was Dwayne the Rock Johnson. Oh, my God. But it looks more like Vin the Rock Diesel. Yeah. And I know that made him so mad.

They have a rivalry already. It's like, yeah, listen, which one is it? I don't know. I don't know. It's like if they had a baby, that's it. Literally a huge, huge buff baby. It would look just like that. When you put like a turkey into the oven and then you take it right out and, like,

Like, you don't let it cook at all. Yes, literally. Why did his skin color look like that, dog? No, yeah. Crazy. He commented on that, and he was like, he's going to have his team reach out to them to talk about updating his wax figure. But in particular, that's what he was most tripping about, his skin color. The skin tone is crazy.

He's like, come on, y'all. Y'all, y'all try to make me white. Yeah. What's up with that? Porcelain. That's crazy. Literally. And here in L.A., the Hollywood Wax Museum made an attempt at making a little Wayne Wax figure.

Oh, my gosh. I didn't know they were a different museum. Yeah, I thought it was the same one. Oh my God. So they're both just, maybe it's the same wax person. Maybe it's the wax. It's better to wax. Little Wayne looked like an island boy.

Yeah. Yes, he looked weird. He looked bad. He looked bad. He looked bad. He's distorted or something. And honestly, what I know of the L.A., the Madame Tussauds and all of that, they get it down. Yeah.

A lot of celebrities, they do. A lot of celebrities think like a Rihanna looks like like Rihanna. Like they look like the actual celebrities. Little Wayne? They must have got a new guy and he's horrible. He was going to lean. He's like, it's my third day here, y'all. Yeah, he actually responded to it and said,

sorry Wax Museum, but that ish ain't me. Oh, Lil Wain said that. Yeah, Lil Wai said that. He had to comment in like. That was nice of him. He didn't see anything mean. I mean, he said it in all caps. He said it in all caps.

There'll be a rap line about it soon. He was pretty good. He's going to put it on wax. Oh, that's a truth, though. Looking at that wax figure, I'm like, man. Man, because you, they already tell you before, like, you're about to get a wax video. It's going to be cool. There's an unveiling.

They probably invite you to it, all of that. Like, it seems like a really cool thing. Imagine they're going to make a wax figure on me. And then you see them. And you're like, you look at me like that. That's how you think I look. Yeah. That's the thing.

There's like no approval stage of this? No. I felt like there needs to be like a person that's like, all right, cool. That looks like Wayne. I think that that would cause too many problems because that would let the camp have too much say. Yeah. That then it's like they're not going to end. And it might sometimes like you've dealt with clients and people can be difficult.

If you give them like, hey, what do you think of this? Oh, well, I think this should be swirly. And I think this should have more detail. And I think this should. And it's like, lady, you don't look at that. You don't have a big butt. Why would I put a big butt? Like it's like once you give it options to people, they're going to make it crazy.

True. You'll like randomly call me, yo, change my shirt today. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? But then here's the other side of it. You have no input, no say. And then that happens. Yeah.

Yeah. It looks crazy. you got to go peep it. Brownback Morning's 101 6. If you could, which one would you rather be the, the, bin the Rock Diesel?

Or, I don't know. I don't know. We're just going to call that one Weezy. Yeah. I made me feel it. I mean, it felt very Weezy. Which one would you rather be?

Yeah. I would choose the rock. Yeah. Yeah. Because Weezy was just, I'm telling you, distorted. I did,

I thought it was honestly a joke. When I saw it, I'm like, no way, this has to be fake. Yeah. Absolutely. And at least the rock, they,

They tried a little. They had the frame down. Exactly. I don't know if they have tan wax in Paris, apparently. Maybe that's what it was. And then they need to make him a little less Vendizelie. Yeah. Because he does look like Vendizel a little bit too.

I know someone's getting fired. They both work out. They look alike. They both work out and they're both bald. Oh, that's what it is. Yeah. I was looking at it. I'm like, what part do they need to change?

Hold on. You guys are talking at the same time. I was just saying like I was looking at it and I was thinking I'm like, what part do they need to change? Because then I was looking at both of them. No. besides that part. But their features, they're very alike, like you said.

What if they didn't know who the rock was? And they're like, oh, look, he's on Fast and the Furious. And then the person went. He's like, the buff guy, the bald guy. Yeah, the bald buff guy. And they went and are like, okay, cool. And they're like, no, not that one. They're like, too late.

I'm already halfway. They're like trying to fix it up there. They're like, put the right tattoos and we're good. Yeah. It looks great then. And don't forget the shape. I like it. All right, guys.

That was your word on Rose Prans, brought to by your local Southern California Toyota dealers. I'm Rose Pransvik for Brown Bag Mornings. I'm Power 106. And keep it here. We have your tickets to go see Travis Scott at his sold-out show. Plus, don't you know I'm local? After this right here, it's Power 106. LA's number one for hip-hop.

What's up? This is Be Real from Cypress Hill. Where are you from, Esse? Don't you know I'm local? All right. Before we start, we got a shout out our homie, the graphic designer. Maximil, what just happened? Shout out, Joe, man.

He sent me a Photoshop. off of my face on the Ljavlito card. And do you see how you can barely tell a difference? Wait, wait, I look at all, guys. Your face is just not red. And that's, you know, it is. In the summertime it is. Yeah.

Yeah. We were talking earlier about this girl that has a coffin in her bedroom. She has a coffin in her bedroom on purpose. Yeah. She bought it. To escape her problem, she said. She built it like IKEA. Imagine you're just building one by one.

That's crazy. That's crazy. She built his coffin. Yes. Because you know no man's going to help her with that. Of course not. To murder that. Unless the Undertaker.

So she goes in there to hide her from her problems and also like to deter bad dates. Yeah. Crazy. So we're asking like, hey, what's the craziest or weirdest person you date? And then MySmel talked about how this girl told him that he has a devilish laugh or smile. Smile. And then Angie said that, you know what? You do look like the lotteria, Satan.

And we've all agreed. Are we in consensus? Yeah. If anyone, if you're ever like, because there's a lot of us full, if you ever see Brown Bag out, like if you're there this Thursday when we go to Six Flags. And you're wondering which one is Maximo. Just think of the Loteria card of the devil. And boom, that one's Maximo, okay?

This is wild. We're putting this picture up. I'm the son of God. Brown Bag Morning's 106. Hey, so was Lucifer. So was Lucifer. So let's be. Let's get into Don't you know I'm local, shall we?

Let's get into Don't you know I'm local. This is Be Real from Cypress Hill. Where are you from, Esse? Don't you know I'm local? Are kids even going to school anymore for school purposes? I know we weren't. We were going to place in the bottle. I was going to show off my clothes.

Really? Yeah. All right. Well, if you're going to school to show up your clothes on Instagram, let me tell you which college is, because there's three out here in California that have ranked as the most Instagramable universities in America. What?

Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you guys want to go ahead and try and maybe guess? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, Angie, it's not going to be the Fullerton one. No, no, I think UCLA. Why do you think UCLA? Because didn't they film the miss, the pink one? Oh, yeah, yeah, the lawyer one.

Yeah, what's the name? Legally blood. Yeah, that's right here. Thank you, Letty. The pink one. The pink one. The pink one. You didn't get it from that.

That's the movie. That's the movie. You see Santa Barbara? but well let me go ahead and tell Angie real quick that she's a right. Thank you. Thank you. It's actually UCLA is the top Instagramable college slash university in America. Oh, I thought it just in California.

In America. No, three California schools made it. But UCLA is top one. Yeah. USC didn't make it. I was about, no, it's not. It's ugly. It's not even all the way put together.

Like it's spread out across different. I feel like USC games and like tailgates, that's super cool vibes. Doesn't Dr. Dre have like an area in that school? I would Instagram there. Yeah, but it's in South Central. Like, at the end of the day, it's on Fing. I know, but it's about the photo of. You know what they need at USC?

They need wings. They need a walk where you can get a stand in front of it and take pictures for the wings. No, they need a dome to protect it from the outside. Bro, it's not that bad. It's a beautiful university and it's like a great university As far as you know The instructors and everything Agademic

All that but like it's it's come on it's it's in the hood And you want to shoot a movie from the 60s Yes Wait and UCLA's is it's in Westwood It's in Westwood yeah It's really nice Shout out UCLA shout the ruins over there Yeah the campus all together too

Harvard is number two And Yale is number three Yeah, we took all the three spots California did. I will never make it into any of these colleges or universities, but I do like the ownership of like, hey, we up here. I got into UCLA. Really?

Yeah. One time it was like 15 bucks for parking one time. I had to go to a game. You're so stupid. Oh, my gosh. And you totally took the photo up. Hey, girl, what's up? Just here at UCLA.

Hang me out. My head. My college. That I go to? And you know, the doctor's quarters I don't know why I imagine Harvard and Yale to be like the when they had like the blazers

and all that. Blazers? Like you're thinking of freshmen's belly. Yeah. So I'm thinking like, is it just like they got flight kicks? Cardigans everywhere. Okay, no, no, no.

There's actually more California ones. Wow. We take out the top five of these top Instagramable universities. Again, we'll probably never get there unless, I don't know, we're like helping parking enforcement or something. UC Berkeley is number five

UC Davis is number four Yale number three Harvard number two UCLA number one and then it goes to Michigan Washington, Florida like Georgia Tech

You're hungry? Come on. I can't wait. Do you guys get a pet or you're like a little bit? I can't wait until you love something and you lose it. Yes. I love pets. I already lost it.

I was 10 years old. R. R. IP tequila. . My dad said ran away. but it didn't. So what if someone came up to me, like, ate tequila,

just wanted you to know, like, he's, oh, I'd be so happy. You know what? You know what? Now it's different. But that's different

because that's tequila, that's my dog. Yay! Oh, my God. Like, when you pass, they say that, like,

your pets are waiting for you. Shut up. For real? Yeah. And tequila's going to remember all the stuff you just say, what is the lessee? Yeah, right.

It'll be peed on your leg in heaven. She would understand. She would understand. 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 you for the homie help line. Marvin needs some new dogs. He sent us a DM. He said, Sup, Brown bag, I'm Marvin, and homie needs a helpline. Just to fill you in, me and my best homie Chris have been friends for years.

We go way back and we were some wild teenagers, but we're both 27 now. I had a kid and got married last year, so I've been laying low. We haven't really kicked it, and I know he's gotten tight with his coworkers. They always invite me to go out, but the dad life doesn't let me. Yesterday, I invited my best friend over to watch football, and he brought his new friends. And let me tell you, those fools are whack, all right? Sounds like jealousy. Those fools didn't want to drink a beer with us, didn't get our joke references, and they were treating Chris like the little homie.

I didn't say anything, but I feel bad because I haven't been there for the homie. I need help figuring out how to get rid of these whack fools And find time for my homie Does he want to do this legally or? He can't whack the whack fools, okay? All right, it's not the soprano. He sounds so aggressive. Can your homie get homies without you?

No. I thought it was like, no new friends. Exactly. Stay down on my day one day. I'm going to club screaming no new friends. No new friends No new friends No no friends

No no Because of the Fos That I'm at At the Home Depot When I went to pick up The Pellets Your friends can't be homies With other fools

They can't be whacked though They gotta like Bring cool They gotta like But you're checked out Because like For whatever reason For this fool's reason

It's because he has a family Right Yeah But it could be work It could be another girl That you check out You're out You're out of the game

With your friend Yeah They can't get homies? No not really Oh my My gosh. This is part of guy code I didn't know. No, you can't just get a whole new squad.

It's too deep in the game. Like, come on. You're 27 years old. You're going to stop with new friends? It's hard to have like actual real friends after a certain age, right? Right. And even when you get new friends and people come in, you see like they come in, they fade out, they come in, they fade out. Because it never has like that bond.

That you guys have. Yeah. And even trying to bring them into like your day one circle is really difficult because it's like you guys have. This is a lot, huh. Yeah, I'm listening. You just have, like, memories, and you bond over time. So, like, it's hard for someone to just come in and be like, yeah, we're cool like that. Like, no, bro, we ain't.

Yeah. But isn't it your fault that I had to go get new friends because you left me because you had a no family? No. Like, did you ask me before you made the baby? No, but the little junior came in this world? No, like, as homies, you just got to hold it down. Angie, not a poco. As homies, like, your dog is like on the sidelines or.

whatever like that's it you're just you're just a lonely guy now it's it no new friends like you just get a girl you can get a girl that's an option for sure but you can't just have a whole new squad like what kind of man are you like it's 27 you're let's say you're this guy what's his name Marvin Marvin oh I forgot Marvin's room yeah so you're trying to get back cool with your friend he brings his new friends it's probably like three of these guys yeah and they're just like the three stooges they don't drink maybe they're leveling him up maybe like April, that's not for you.

Like, it's going to take away from your mind. Oh, they're trying to sell them like some herbal life or something. We're focused on energy clothes. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, no, but like, just how he said they're whack and then, no. But the key thing here, they're treating his homie, Chris, like the little homie. Maybe they're trying to put him up on game that you didn't give him because all you guys

did was messing around, running around. I think now this kid is just dumb out here in these streets and I'm trying to help him out. But that's okay. That was them growing of age together. happens, you know. Seeing your homie be little homieed? Yeah. Sucks.

I say it all the time. Yeah. It sucks. You're just like, damn. No, yeah. Exactly. That's the part where it's like, don't treat my homie like the little homie.

Like, you fools are whack, homie? Like, where are you guys even from? Don't treat my homie that I ghosted. Yeah. But at least he didn't treat him like the little homie. He didn't disrespect him. You treat him like a girl. It's because he had a family.

He had to do the dad thing. Oh, now it matters. Also, when it comes to, like, having kids, like, you'll see friends phase out. Because I've had, like, my day ones, like, it was a bigger group. And once I had kids, you would see who were the ones that'd be like, yo, I'll pull up and kick it at your house.

I'll pull up, we'll play, like, PS5. And there's ones that were just like. I'll pull up and slapbacks with your kid. Yeah. There's someone who's like, no, let's just hang out. Let's turn up. And it's like, bro, I don't got time for that. Okay, it looks like that guy was that full.

and then he got new friends and now you don't want him to have those new friends Yeah he got to pull up to the crib and be an uncle Yeah it's time to be an uncle Yeah it's time to be an uncle bro Chris

Chris Chris Let's help Marvin and Chris Marvin and Chris grew up together They're day ones Yeah They're both 27 Marvin ends up getting

like a girl pregnant And he's like with her All of that married good stuff So he kind of goes to his homie Chris That he's trying to get back in Chris's life And lo and behold, Chris got new friends. Yeah, but they're whack.

But they're whack, according to Marvin. Yeah. Because, you know, leaving me when you got a girl is not whack. Right? No, but they don't even get the joke references. I get it. That's crazy. They don't understand the references.

Yeah. They don't even remember that time in sixth grade where Mr. M did that thing, like, you know? Or like, if you say, like, don't look at me little puppet and they don't get it. It's like, oh, no, bro. That's disrespectful. But they're friends for a reason because they have some similarities. Yeah. So he probably just got the reference.

He's probably upset that they have their own inside jokes. Yeah. That they're like, that's what she said. And then he's like, oh, ha. And then he's like, wait, what? I never seen that. Where's that from? Oh, and they're like, remember at work?

Yes. He's getting left out of those inside jokes. Yeah, that's why he's really mad. I just like that guys go through this too. Let's help about Marvin, all right? I'm old, but there's a song by Ghost Town DJs. There's also a debate. of whether it's Ghost Town DJs

or I Nage. Shout out to KD-A-Y. I'm totally K-Dying it up right now. And it kind of sounds like the song. Yes. The beat. I think of you. It's not a sample.

What were you singing? I was singing the other part. Go. Now I lost my favorite. I can't think. I feel like you were not singing the other part. I was like. You should know that.

Yeah, that's the one I was singing. I got you on. Hey. Yeah. It doesn't it kind of sound. Similar vibes? Yeah. That's what I thought.

It's not a sample. Back in my day. I don't know. I don't know if it's a sample. I'm going to giggle it. Oh, I thought so. Okay. That's what I thought it would be.

Wow. Kids, you don't know about that kids? Yeah. We got here with your sexy red. We had ghost town DJs. Okay. My boo! All right.

Anyways. 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. Helpline The homie Marvin needs our help His homie's Stop being a little A little boy He's being such a girl

Yeah What? Yes You guys would clown us If we were talking about this If I said Hey I had a kid I just started making friends

With somebody else And I think they're stupid He'd be like Hey letty stop You said it all the time Yeah Hold on look Duff

This how I know What you would say Look He would be acting like a girl Yeah Yeah Jenny I'm talking to you Whoa. Shots fired.

No, look, if he was acting like a girl, he would have been cut Chris off. Yeah. You got some wife friends. He wouldn't invite him over. Exactly. No, we'd just be talking ish about her like we are right now on the radio. No, but he's looking for a solution. You got just cut your friends off.

His homies been little homie. You don't allow that. Okay, all right. Well, anyway, we have somebody on the one? What's going on? Well, Marvin, he has a friend named Chris. They go way back. They go way back.

They go way back like backpacks and munch packs. Exactly. And they're both 27 now. And Marvin has, you know, he has a family. He has, you know, he's married. He's moved on. Chris is not. He didn't move on.

Chris got left on the sidelines. Yes. And so. And he made some homies. He made some homies, but he didn't make the right ones. According to Marvin. They're not adding to the circle. Wow.

Fake homies. Yeah. Not adding to the circle. According to the fool that left him. They don't even get the joke reference. He's subjected himself. But he was doing, he couldn't do the damn thing no more. He had to do the dad thing.

You know what I'm saying? Come on. So then leave him be. Leave him with the new life he chose. He's not telling you how like your girl made you all fat now and like you gained weight. He's not telling you how your kid, his teeth are all messed up because you keep giving him Coca-Cola. Is that how you feel Chris?

Is that how you feel about Marvin Chris? Damn. You ain't about your life. Yeah. You down grades from the girl in high school. Oh. Oh. Yeah.

What? That's crazy. It's true. Let's make it a real novella, why don't we? Damn, I want to hear Chris's point of you now. Yeah, me too. He's like, yeah. But we got helpers on the line.

Let me see who we're going to. We have Fernando from Boyle Heights online. You got Fernando from Boyle Heights. Fernando from Boyle Heights. Yo, good morning, Brownbegg. What's up, Ferry? How are you, puppy? Is your boyfriend from Boyle Heights.

Come on. And then a couple of times already. Let's go. Let's go. You kind of sound a little rob. I'm not going to lie. All right, talk to us. What would you tell?

Check it out. This is what I would tell, Homeboy. Honestly, you can change the past. The past is the past. You know, turns out that, you know what? Now he's got a job. Now he's making his money. You know what I mean?

So you got to be kind of, I mean, you go to work. You got to kind of be a little fake at sometimes. You know what I mean? You got to fake it until you make a kind of deal. But then you turn out that these friends that you actually made that work are actually pretty cool. doesn't necessarily mean that you got to mix them both in. You know what I mean? You got to keep one in one side and the other and the other.

If it makes any sense. Yeah. So you would tell Marvin that or you'd tell Chris that. Which homie are you telling you? I think it would be towards Chris. Towards Chris. He's the one that got ghosted, right? Yeah, he's the one that got ghosted.

And I think that's what he's doing. Yeah, if we were Chris's always be like, hey, the new fools that like took you in when you were out on the streets and all sad and like your homie left you and all that, keep them away from the fool that left you because to, like, it's too separate now yeah this group actually cares about you

you can make your work life with maniac life you know you true true that's true but what would you tell Marvin because Marvin's the one that doesn't want him

to be friends with these fools you know what Marvin at the end of the day you have to find some new friends yeah yeah go find dad some dad friends

I like that friend yeah that makes sense yeah all right so Marvin got to tell Chris hey homie Furn was on line one don't bring those fools around again

A Fern by the way Wait, you're in Boy Heights? Yes. Do you know Stephen? Sci-Fi? Yes, I did. Oh! Where are you?

Stay at? I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Oh. That's famous. That's famous. What, like, stay around. What bridge you around?

All right. Now, okay, who else we got, A.C.? We have Ricardo from Long Beach on line two. All right. Ricardo, good morning. Good morning, guys. How y'all doing? Good. How are you? Doing pretty good. I'm a way to work.

And you had to call in, Ricardo. Talk to us. Tell us what you think about Marvin. Oh, man. See, the thing is, like, as you get older, you grow some maturity. And for me personally, you know, I'm a strong believer of day one and day two. Day ones are like the friends that are products of your environment. You know, friends you grow up with the struggle with, you know, people that relate to you. You feel me? And unfortunately,

a lot of them, you know, we grow up, we mature, we make moves in our lives that separated. Some of us stay. Now,

for day twos are the people that, in a sense, you make, you know, choices on your own, such as when you go to work, when you're going out

and on events and you meet people, those are your day two. A lot of the reasons why those become really good friends, too, is because you guys

can relate on what's going on based off, you know, what I mean? You're dropping bars right now, just so you know,

those are You're a fun friends. Yeah, you know, just to end it all up. Marvin, don't trip, bro. Like, understand that, you know, what's the other guy's name? Chris? Yeah. Yeah, you know, everybody's going to make new friends, man.

Not all of them can collide. Just know that. Make some time for your day once. That's it. Wow. You know, it is what it is. Gems, gems. He's so, bro.

But you know what? I get it. See, y'all only talk about your day ones. There's big two's out here. Yeah. Day ones is like product of your environment. They grew up on the same block, went through the same thing as you. Day twos, though, they're kind of like the friends you choose.

Like, I didn't choose to be your friend. You just grew up in the same. I didn't choose to be so-and-so's neighbor. Yeah. But these other ones, these day-toes, some would say, like, this is the one that I chose to be in my life. Purposely chose them and picked them. Angie. Am I one or two or two?

You're one and two and three and everything. That's not real. That's not real. She's a lot. No, why can't you just say that she's day two? She's day two. I chose to be her friend, yes. It's nothing wrong being good.

But I'm also day one because she's not, she's not her without me. And I'm not me without her. Because let the can be number two. Yeah. She's like, can we change it? Can we change the name? Yeah, yeah. This is not my homey.

Okay. We're helping Marvin. We're helping Marvin. I think that was great advice. That was, he cracked the code on that one. And I guess the goal is to keep him separate. Yes. Yeah.

Because a lot of your friends, yeah, you really think about it. Like, they totally always can't mix. I don't think, though, because since it's not Chris hitting us up, it's Marvin hitting us up. Right. Like, hey, Marvin, keep yourself separate. Like, he's not going to like that. Right.

Hey, Marvin, you're wrong. Move on. AC, who else we got on the line? We have Sal from Long Beach on line three. Long Beach in the house. Good morning, Sal. Good morning, Nancy. Sal's the homie.

Sal, good morning. Talk to us. What do you got to say to Marvin? If I was Marvin, I talk to my girl, ask if it's cool. I have kids come over more often, share more time with him. She's good with Kendall that bar that we had to

grown up. And he can't bring his friends. It's one no plus is, that's it. No plus is allowed. Yeah, that's true right there. He got to blame his girl. My girl only let me have one friend. That's crazy.

She said I could only have one friend. But it's her bad. Yeah, the girl probably doesn't even know this is going on. I know. He's all dealing with this by himself. Like a true man? What's she going to do? Hey, you can't let your feelings out.

Shut up. Hey, what are you doing over there? Sambra Salah with Angie. All right, guys. Question for the guys here. Maximo. When you guys take a girl on a date, you know, you take around a nice dinner.

Are you guys concerned on, like, how much you spent on her? That is a great question. And when I was dating, I for sure was concerned. You do on the first day you are. Not concerned. Like, that's on your head. I was worried about it, but I'd be like, oh, she went out of this. What about wifey? Are you concerned about with she orders?

No, not, no, no. No, no. It's just like first time, first day, first time you meet a girl, you are concerned on the price on how much you're spending. Especially dinner. At the time, it was single, yes. Okay. For sure. All right, because Shannon Sharp, same.

Apparently, that's a guy thing, and I do not know that, you guys. What's up? So apparently when he was dating, he met this girl. And at that time, it was like, he was still coming up. He was like a little broke you, right? He didn't have it like that. And so he was like, okay, you know what? I really want to take her out.

So what I'm going to do, I'm going to order my food, but I'm not going to order what I normally do, you know, because just in case she orders something more expensive. Sounds nice, right? Yeah. It sounds nice. He's being thoughtful. He's been a gentleman and all that stuff. So you know what? They go to the restaurant.

He orders his stuff. He orders his Caesar salad. They share the Caesar salad, all that stuff. Then the time comes for him to order. He gets his stuff. And then when she starts ordering, he starts sweating, you guys. He starts sweating and his mentality changes. Okay?

Right, listen. And so, Ocho, she got the menu and she's just looking. I'm like, what's she going to order? I say, I say, you're going to go ahead. You're going to order something? She's say, I'm trying to figure out what go with lobster. I say, come. I said, if you order that, we're going to have something tonight.

You guys. As soon as he said lobster, oh, no. I even know not to order that. He was expecting a happy ending because she's ordering lobster. That's a thing. No, IG. Not Angie, Tampocco.

What do you mean? Like, she was out ready to scam him for his whole dinner. Lobster. If he wants to dine her, but you say he was broke. He was broke, but she doesn't know that. I don't know. Maybe you shouldn't play the part and maybe take her to the park.

Because it seems like first date you also got to know. Like, don't think you're going to take her to a nice restaurant and then she's not going to order nice things. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, it was his decision to take her to an expensive restaurant, diner and all that stuff. stuff. He, yeah, he definitely needed to be a little bit smarter and know what restaurants to take her, especially, like, he also has to know what kind of grocery is. Because if he's obviously dating, like, an upscale girl who comes from that lifestyle,

he needs to know that that's what he's going to have to deal with. Right. Yeah. And deliver, right? But that's where you're going to go with the, you know, humble. Humble girls. The humble girls. Oh, my gosh.

And I honestly think there's some people that are foodies. There's some people that love to spend on food. Like everyone has their poison of like what they splurge on. Right. For some people, they could be booge in another sense. True. Like everyone's bougie somewhere. Like even if you're humble with food, you might be boogey in another area, right?

You might really like, like makeup products. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, for real. And then there's someone that like, okay, I really, really, really just have to eat good all the time. And then that's kind of how you have to pick it. Yeah. But you're not going to not take a grow out or single maximals, not going to not going to take a girl out. Back in the day.

Back in my heyday. Because she liked to eat good. Yeah. I don't know. You just got to say what. Oh, before you take out of a girl. The trick is this. You take them to like really good mom and pop restaurants because the food is still going to be good.

Yeah. But it's not going to be like crazy expensive. Like there ain't no lobster there. Bro. Lobster. San Pedro Fish Market dog. Yeah. Take her like Baja California and you're going to get something for super cheap.

Take like 10. And lobsters. All right, but what do you guys think happened? Do you think she ordered the lobster? Yeah. And she had to. Okay, listen. Needless to say, she didn't order that, and I never saw her again.

That's it. She tried to figure out what go with lobster. She was trying to figure out what goes with lobster. He never saw her again. Dang. What goes to lobster? Another man. Another guy goes with lobster.

For real. There's a lot of girls who go on days just to eat. I've seen that. But there's a lot of guys that take girls out just for. for company. True. That's so bad. This is a fair trade, I know.

No, come on. But you know what? That is the thing, you guys. All right, that's it. For Somrasala brought to you by a local Southern California Toyota dealers. I'm Angie from Brownback Mornings. I'm part of 106. What's up?

This is Be Real from Cypress Hill. Where are you from, Esa? Don't you know I'm local? All right. Talk quiz, everybody. Oh, okay. How many volcanoes does California have? None.

Volcanoes in California? Volcanoes in California? No. Angie says zero. Isn't there one? Is Chano Islands? Chano Islands? Channel Islands.

I don't know. What? What is Chano Islands? It's in Channel Islands. Yeah, definitely not California. Yes, oh gosh. It's not really what's an island, right? Channel Islands is like going towards Santa Barbara.

There's actually an island there that you could go and camp at. Isn't Catalina? Is it a kayak? Okay, that's what you know. I'm not asking about. You're right. No, he's right about China Islands. He's not right that that's a volcano.

Oh, okay. There are three volcanoes in California. Isn't that a trip? What? I know. Where? Okay, one of them, you remember the other day we're talking about the people that got, like how we all got extended for the tax deadline?

Because like we were a part of all these counties and only three counties didn't get the disaster relief because of the storms and all of that. And those three counties were like Lassen County, Shasta County. Right? We're like, where are they? Well, the volcanoes are there! Yeah, there's volcanoes in Shasta County where the shout-outs to Shasta. I hear they have no Pepsi over there. Shasta County in Lassen County. That was really cool.

I'm so hilarious. And by the Mammoth Lakes in Mono County. Really? Yeah. Long Valley Caldera, okay, was classified in 2018 as one of three volcanoes in the state. And according to now, it's considered a very high threat to be erupted. What? Okay? Apparently there's a lot of seismic activity.

It's bubbling a little bit and it's also been the site of earthquakes that are like 6.0 in recent time, which is scary. Okay? So not only are we thinking we might have the big one in California. The floor might be lava too. That's crazy. Damn, the floor is lava? Stupid question. Is the mammoth area by us?

Yes. Right? It's the closest to us than like Lassen and Shasta, right? Yeah. I'm like a five, six hour drive. I really can't something. Is this where Shasta came from? Shasta soda.

We got to go to get a trip down there. This is the Shasta factory. Okay, that chipped me out. I didn't know we had that many volcanoes, dogs. I knew we had fault lines and we had like the earthquakes. But now we're low-key El Salvador with volcanoes in our emblem. Yo, it ain't a lie when we say that California has everything. We have everything.

Including volcanoes? Yeah, we got hurricanes. Hurricanes. Hurricanes. Hurricanes this year. Earthquakes, volcanoes, just get ready. Just get ready. Something's going to happen this year.

Oh my God, there's like three months left. No, don't say that. No, no, no, nothing is going to happen. No, no pass to nothing. This is the thing about volcanoes. They're just always just chilling like, hey, I could go. I could stay. I could go.

I could stay. I know. It's like the little wind-up thing. Oh, Jack in a Bug. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're kidding. All right, look, that was so you know I'm local. Keep it here.

It's Power 106. L.A's number one for hip-hip. Buenos deez. Yes, good morning. And a special happy birthday to Aubrey Drake Grand. Happy birthday, Drake. Yes, that's right. Come on, celebrate your man.

It's Drake's birthday, right? And he's giving away hot chicken for his birthday. Nice, yummy. So, Drizzie's giving Chizzy away today, all right? He turns 37, and to celebrate, he's having Dave's hot chicken locations across the world, hand out free crispy chicken sliders or tenders. Free? Yes, to those who download the app on their phones.

Oh, I'm going to do that right now. I may be his friend for his birthday for some free chicken. Anything? Yeah. I never seen him talk really about Dave's Hot Chicken, though. Apparently, he has a large stake of ownership. Wow. He does?

In Dave's Hot Chickens. Okay. Yeah. If you're celebrating Drake today, what are you eating? Like, what would be like the Drake food? And why is it graham crackers? Is Aubrey Drake Graham? What do you guys think of?

If Drake had a meal, you know how like Sweetie has a meal? Or like if Drake had a, like, you're going to have this to celebrate his birthday. Why are they popping up in my brain? I don't know. Champagne, he's champagne poppy. Oh, champagne. Come on. I don't know why I keep thinking.

Champagne dying. I honestly think of Dave's hot chicken and I don't know. You think of Dave's hot chicken. No, but not because of this story, but because I, um, I don't know. worked on a show and that's when they first were talking about drank buying steaks into Dave's Hot Chicken. So I kind of knew in the back of my mind. That he had a little bit of dinner.

Yes. And then they have a lot of ads. He never promotes it, but Dave's Hot Chicken promotes him. Really? No. What about you, Vic? Yes. I mean, definitely like wine by the glass.

In certain songs, he's talked about like spaghetti bowlinise at the polo lounge. Oh, yeah, yeah. So it's like one time I went to the polo lounge and I ordered Spaghetti Bowling. The polo lounge? It's at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Oh, nice. Yeah.

Too rich for my blith. I don't know. Spaghetti and bologna. He seems like he drinks wine. Yes. For sure. And then he swigs it. Oh, yeah.

For sure. Happy birthday, Drake, for that. Clearly you could tell him a Drake hater. A little bit reformed, though. A little bit reformed. Because there are times where I'm like, Drake, I appreciate you doing that. Like, there was this one time where I couldn't hate on Drake for this. There was, he was having a performance at a club.

And there was someone kind of groping a girl. And he stopped and he's like, hey, you better leave her alone. Like, he's like, we don't run that. We don't play that here. Like, kick this hole out. And I was like, hey, if you can stop your show after seeing a girl kind of go through that, which we all, girls, you already know the times. You probably count them or lose count.

Yeah. Of the times you put in a club, someone touch you inappropriately or try to grab you, try to make you go dance with them, all of that. And you weren't feeling it. Imagine if out of the freaking rafters, Freaking Drake is like, hey, don't touch her. That's tight. That made me appreciate him.

That was also in the era where he was doing like God's plan and then the song that he remixed the Lauren Hill song. Yes. Drafted. No. Weirdos. What? No.

Nice for what. Yeah, nice for what. Irene, Jesus Christ. I thought they're the fans. That's a Lauren Hill sample. Yeah, but nice for what is the Lauren Hill sample. Yeah. So when he was being very pro-woman.

is when I was like, all right, I like this. You like them. Yeah. Any other Drake haters in here? Is that we reformed? I used to be a super duper Drake hater. Talk to me, Maximo. My ex-girl used to love Drake and I was like a super-

Don't tell me you didn't like him because your ex-girl liked him. So I was like a super hardcore like boom-bap, like hip-hop, like that type of dude, right? What year was this? I'm trying to think what Drake eros. It was probably like 0-6-ish. Yeah. Okay, okay. And so I used to-oh-6, Drake was definitely not around.

No, 2007, definitely not around. It came through like probably 2009, 10. So it was probably 09. It was the beginning. It was probably 06 when he was in the wheelchair. It was all nine, yes. And that was a super duper hater. Rock the bell's vibes.

Yeah. Exactly. And then one day, I don't remember exactly what the song was, but I was like, Best Everhead, probably. No, no, it was the one with the, he sampled, I believe, Pimsy. Oh, no, November 18th. Yeah, November 18th. Wow.

So I really listened to it and I was paying attention. I was like, all right, this is kind of hard. Like, and then I gave in. So when he got into his little bag of like raps. Then I gave in and I started like watching like his videos and I started appreciating like the production side, the marketing side and boom. Wow. I'm laughing because I could just picture Maximo pausing his Madlib beat tape. Right.

Stop clowning us. Backpack. Yeah. Real heads. Please. I love it. Put the respect on Mad Lib. I love Mad Lib.

Look at them over there. Talking about the four limits of hip hop. Maximo pos is Immortal Technique mixtape. And then he's just like, man, Drake ain't so bad after all. No. No. Drake's beats. Yeah.

Right? Because it's not even the bars. It was like, yeah, little by little, it just built up. And I was like, yo, it's kind of hard. And now, like, I love Drake. And then he heard him say something like, shout out to Jake Dilla one time. And he's like, oh, okay, okay. He knows.

He knows hip, he. Yeah. Do you make it fun of them? No. That song? Do you know what project or November 18th? That's on So Far Gone. Oh, so then you went early.

No, but I was, it was. Yeah, that was like, it was first. Yeah. No, but I, I, I didn't happen until, like, what is it? Scorpion Alpha. I was like two, three years late to that. I was hating in the beginning. Oh, okay, okay.

I'm going to be honest. I was sold right away. Yeah. You, hey, I'm going to be honest. I could believe it. So literally, I'll never forget this because it was so random. I was watching, uh, um, B. B.T. 106 and Park.

And then they're like, we got this new artist. he has a song with Tray songs. It was replacement girl. And it was like the world premiere of it. And I was like, what is this? Who is this dude? And I was like, damn, this song's dope. And I was sold.

And then I didn't hear about him for maybe like a year or two. And then I heard him on like this super mixed tape cut with Lil Wayne stunt hard. And then all these like random cuts. And I was like, oh, this is fire. And then I heard ransom. And I was like, oh, he's the one. Yeah. He's the one.

He's the one. Yeah, there are. Well, it's a poco. Bro. I'm with you until you say certain things. What? There can be more. more than number one.

No, there can't be only the one one one. And we're not going to be in the one house. No, Kendrick's number one. Thank you. Oh, my goodness. Kendrick's number one. Top was already on the phone. All right.

There have been a few times where I've been very pleasantly surprised by drink. Because I'm going to tell you right now, I'm very, I don't know, just critical of the man. And I just, this is how I always kind of put it. Like, let's say we go into Baskin Robbins, right? And I like butter pecan, right? And then everybody else is like, how come you don't like chocolate chip? You don't like chocolate chip? It's like, no, I just like butter pecan.

Yeah. It doesn't mean I don't like chocolate chip. Yeah. It means that I would prefer butter becon. That's how always felt with Drake hive that I'm just like, dude, I love Kendrick. How do you don't like Drake? You're such a Drake cater. And it's like, no, I just like butterprechaun, okay?

That's how I feel like. Let me like what I like. You like what you like? I'm not over here. Like, ooh, well, around you. Yeah. Yeah, that's how I felt. But I appreciated back to back a lot.

I felt like the way that he came at me. I was like, wow, I wasn't expecting this. I expected more from meek at the time, not going to lie. Yeah. That surprised me a lot. I really appreciated when he did that, when he did the nice for what stuff. That's two things that are said nice. Wow.

Yeah. I mean, love you. There you. You know what it was that made me hate him? What? When he said, no offense, but I didn't cry when Tupac died, but I'll probably cry when Jay Z. died. And everybody knows when someone says, no offense, they mean offense.

Yeah. That was super early on too. Because you could have said, yeah, because you could have, also said, I'm very aware of, like, being intentional with your raps, too. There's a reason why you said Pock and why you didn't say Biggie, because you probably also didn't cry with Biggie died. But you knew the Pock and JZ thing and all of that. So it's like, it's very intentional why you said a certain person's name,

but then you're out here playing Pock. Doesn't he have Pock's ring and all of that? Like, now you're lucky to Puck, apparently you ought to play him in the next biopic. Like, and I was just like, no, I can't, I can't rock with this fool. But there have been things that throughout his career had mainly appreciate him. Like him being an actor, incredible. Yeah. Yeah.

He's hilarious. He's good at those spots. And he's actually really good at like the S&L stuff and like the skits he does. He is funny. He can make fun of himself too, which I appreciate. The Jake from State Farm stuff. The SP thing when he had, he was going to get surgery and then Chris Brown was going to be the one to go. That's when they like really first like patched up therapy.

Yes. Crazy. All right. Look, that took a lot out of me. So, Drake Cators, I'm talking to you. What made you switch from not liking Drake to liking him? All right? We've all had those moments. He was public enemy number one at a point in time.

For some people like Vic, he's always been number one for fun, right? Yeah, in Canada, though. Number one in Canada. Yes. But you love him. Yeah. He's great. Yeah.

You can go all back in time, right? I mean, it's just like recently. All classic albums. Yes, I can. But like I said, recently. This is my least favorite Drake, to be honest. Well, it's crazy. Yeah.

This new version. Angie, did you always like Drake? I did. Actually, I did. I started getting into Drake with the one that, the best I ever had. The one that everyone started, but I never liked his album artwork ever since. Oh, yeah. That's my beef with him.

That's your graphic designer. It's his birthday, Angie. We have to say nice stuff. Nice stuff. I always liked him. Yeah. I actually went to his first concert he ever did. It was out here in L.A.

And it was when Lil Wain was still locked up And that was a great concert Because he brought out Tiger He brought out Nicky Manash And I loved it because he He shouted out J-Cole And at that time J-Col wasn't really known Like he was underground

Yeah he's like you know We got some upcoming artists like J-Coh And I'm like Because I was listening I was on Jay Cole But that's why I always remember So you always like Drake Except his artwork

He used to work But that's for tomorrow Because today we're just kissing his butt Okay Let me know Let us know the moment that made you a Drake fan, the moment that you switched

from being a Drake hater to being a Drake okayer. It doesn't mean you like him. It doesn't mean you're all full Drake hike with it. It has to be this for me. Let's play it out. Happy birthday, Drake. Spirewood O six.

And it's just funny because if you look at the video, they pant to his feet and he's wearing like slacks and sandals and he's trying to dance all dumb. It's funny. He makes fun of himself. Yeah, I like that for him too.

I like that he does that. Shout out to Drake. It's his birthday. He's turning 37 years old. Big up to Drake. 37. 37. Can I see that, but?

Oh, I'm sorry. I know. It's okay. See, trying to get a, this grown group of kindergartners to work in iPad. Because Mikeson wants to play his favorite thing. This moment was hilarious. And it was for the NBA.

And he was with Will Farrell. Listen. Great practice so far. We brought in a few experts to work on your handshakes. Hey, shake. This is Coach Murphy and Coach Palmer. Coaches. All right.

Listen out. Guys, we've seen a lot of great plays from you today. But your handshakes. Your handshakes aren't worth dog crap. No, I love them. Coach Murph is right, obviously. Listen, after a clutch shot, okay, the crowd wants to see you shaking hands, right?

Yeah. Yeah. They want to know you're really friends, best friends. That's right. That's friends from the same neighborhood, okay? Starting today, if you score but your handshake sucks, we will trade you. Absolutely.

That's ridiculous. Excuse me? What? This guy. Who's talking? Smartmouth over here. Smartmouth. What's your name?

D'amore. Damar. Demar. Okay. Demar, I say it, de less I like it. He made fun of Damar de Rosa. Yeah, he just made me hate Drake again. That just made me like, oh, what a loser.

Oh, man. You needed Will Ferrell. But I have to be nice. It's his birthday. It has to be nice. And he made this song. Happy birthday, Drake. Sparrow 106.

L.A.1 free and pop. Happy 37th birthday. Drizzy Drake Pran 106 Brownback Mornings I'm Lettie and yes I know We have to

If we play Drake we gotta play Oh my gosh Turn up Drake high Happy birthday It's Power 106 It's 5106 LA's number one for hip hop Celebrating our guy

Drizzy Drake Turn 37 years old today And he blesses with that one That was like the start That was his first song Yeah that was how many songs is then A lot What is he tied up to Michael Jackson

Or he's about to be tied up to Michael Jackson with? For hits. Oh my gosh. Yeah, no. And I think the thing about Drake is like while we're living it, we made downplay and like, oh, he's just Drake. But later on, like history will tell like, dude, this fool had hits after hits after every year he had it.

Like he made music. He dropped music. He was there. He was present. That's how when he says supposedly he's going to take a actual retirement type of vibe, like actually take a break. It's crazy to believe because he's been here every year. year.

Literally. Other artists take a break. Other artists take five years. I know I'm a Kendry fan. I know. Yeah. But for Drake to like, hit,

hit, hit, hit. Yeah. That's special. Yeah. We'll see how long it lasts though, because I mean, when Jay Z retired, it was like, what,

like a year and a half years. Well, it's not retirement, so I don't want to say retirement. He knew he was like, I'm just going to take a little break because I haven't taken a break. Yeah. Shout to that guy right there.

Happy birthday, Drake. Happy birthday, Drake. Happy birthday, Drake. Happy 106, Browneck Mornings. Good morning. Mad of Mayor Carrey Matt McAvoy.

I got it down. I love saying Madam Mayor. I'm sure you love hearing it too. I feel like that's such a great title. I appreciate that. I can't believe it's almost a year. Wow. It's been a year.

In this year, Madam Mayor, what have you seen as like, you know what? This is the highlight of this year. Like, this has been such a special moment. I knew I was getting into this position, but something that surprised you and just how well it turned out. Well, you know what? The love and support I've received very, from Angelinos everywhere has just been amazing.

But to me, the most fulfilling thing is watching people leave tents and clearing up encampments and getting people house. Getting people house. That's where I'm going to go from here, is to some more tents under a freeway where people have been living for years. And you know what? When the bus pulls up to take people and put them in a motel,

folks are crying because they don't want to live like that. That's the most rewarding. that and the love and going around to the communities and talking to everybody. It's just been wonderful. Madam Mayor, what put that in your heart? Because even with your career, having been a nurse in the past and like a physician's assistant, talk to me about like, what was that inside you that you're like, I have to change the way people are treated. I have to really make some change and get into this political space. Well, you know what? That started when I was a kid. That started when I was a kid when I was growing up. That's all I wanted to do when I grew up. But nobody told me that

was a job. I was like, oh, okay, you want to help people? You want to be involved in politics? How are you going to get paid? So I worked in the medical field, and I loved medicine because it was an opportunity to help people directly. But when I worked at county emergency room many, many years ago, a lot of my patients were homeless. You know, they would come in and I would have to take care of them. But I was always interested in why people got there to begin with. What's the root? Right. So that's why I left medicine and started Community Coalition in 1990 because we were trying to do it. We were trying to get homeless people in motels in 1993.

Wow. Wow. Look at us. That's right. Hold on, let me do the math. Before you were born. Like 30, that's crazy. Now, Madam Mayor, I didn't want to talk to you about voting and just how important it is. I look around in the faces in the room, we're black and brown. That's right.

You know, we make up Los Angeles. That's right. more often than not, we don't show up to make those changes in Los Angeles. We have power and we don't use it, which is why we have to go out and vote. And so it should be a tradition. I know I took my kids to the voting booth with me. Right. You know, it was a tradition in my family.

It's important to instill that obligation, responsibility, and participation for everyone. Do you remember the first time you voted? Because what trips me out is people turn 18 and then boom, you can vote. And then you don't. And I'm like, kids, please. It is something cool to do, I swear. Do you remember that first time that you went to the polls? I do.

I do remember. But, you know, also having grown up as a kid watching the civil rights movement, the idea that you wouldn't vote when people died to vote is just was unthinkable. And I would hear it from my family if I didn't go vote. They would call me up. You haven't voted yet. We fought for this. We fought for you to go and be able to have this ability.

That's right. I'm curious to know, like, from your point of view, like you said, in 1993, you guys have been trying to, you know, get people from being unhoused to put them in motels and stuff like that. How have you seen the changes from like 93 till now? Oh, my God, huge changes. It's become massive. I mean, it was just a few thousand people. Now it's 46,000 just in Los Angeles. There's more people unhoused in L.A. than anywhere in the United States. And we're such a wealthy city. How do you have so many extremely wealthy people and so many extremely poor people living within just a couple of miles of each other? So that's what drives me is how do I close that gap? How do I make sure that everybody makes enough money so that they can afford to live in this city? Because even if you have a good job, that doesn't mean you can afford to pay rent here. That far. Talk about it, Madam Bay.

Talk about it. I've just seen a story. I don't think it was here in L.A. I think it was up north where. like people that are making like $70,000 were living in their cars. Right. I'm not sure if you've seen that story as well. And it was like, they're like, yeah, we're just renting out cars for people to sleep in.

And I was like, that's insane. Well, and you know, that's for a few reasons aside from the fact that the rent's too high. Yeah. It's also because if you've ever been evicted before or if you don't have good credit, or if you were incarcerated, or if you're on public, you know, public benefits, those are reasons why you can be denied. Yeah. And we have encountered.

many people there was a woman that was near Century Boulevard near the airport. She had two teenagers and a elementary age child. She worked every day. She was living outside. She called us up and said, listen, I don't need any help like, you know, health care or anything like that. I just need a place to live. First and last month's rent. If you don't have first and last month's rent, you can't, you know, you can't afford to be in some place.

And then you see people in recreational vehicles. Yeah. And, you know, a lot of those vehicles are rented out by, in my opinion, predators. And so they're unsafe. But the good news is that there was a myth in the city that people that lived outside because they wanted to, they wouldn't go inside. And everybody always asked me, well, what are you going to do to the person that doesn't want to leave the tent? We're still looking for that person.

Exactly. Still looking for them. I was like, no, keep me here. I want to stay. Right. Every now and then we've encountered somebody, but for the most part, it's extremely rare. Usually that person is so profoundly ill that they might not even realize they're living outside. So my grandparents came to this country in the 70s, and whenever I talked to them about how things used to be,

they said they used to like go into a house and rent it on a handshake. Well, exactly. And I'm like, are you serious? They're like, yeah, we just, you know, they would look at us and talk, have a little conversation, handshake, okay, here's the first month's rent, and that was it. And like, is there anything that you guys have been trying to do as far as, like, rent and as far as like first, last month's security deposit? This, like, making so many barriers for so many people to just live in an apartment and just,

that's it. That's right. I mean, you didn't have credit checks. You didn't have, you know, I mean, that kind of stuff didn't exist. But you also didn't have unhouse people either. So even that word is a new word in our vocabulary. It didn't always exist like this. So what we're doing right now is we're focusing on preventing people from becoming homeless in the first place.

So that's one of the components of the work. So I inherited this nonprofit organization as mayor. Mayor Garcetti used the same organization to help people during COVID, which was great. So we've repurposed it. And now what we're doing is when we find somebody that's on the verge of being evicted, we help get them legal representation. Oh, my. are too, we also give them information on how they can protect themselves.

And we have money for landlords, because it's an issue for landlords, too. I mean, most of the landlords we're talking about are members of the community. They might just have, you know, a duplex, a triplex. But we have to make sure that they don't default on their mortgage as well. So we provide rent subsidies, but the rent subsidies go to the landlord. So we're doing all of that, but you can imagine that takes millions of money. millions of dollars. You know what I always think of too, Madam Mayor, you have such a, with the heavy

responsibility that you hold in your office, a lot of that also comes with such a great reward, but it also needs support from us to voters. When I think about the resources that you're talking about, the charities, the funds, that comes from what we say yes and no to on that ballot. So that's where we can't just rely on you, Madam Mayor, to make the changes. Because you can only do so much if we're not going out and voting. Hey, Mayor, I'm behind on my wrist. All right.

So that's what I'm talking about. Tu boss, your life, and especially your relationship with the Latino community, because it's big out here. We love you like, on your mind, little, I can't wait to go take my kiss

to your house for trick or cheer cheer. Yeah, Karen. I hear you got the big candy. Yeah. But talk to me about just the importance of that because you can't move unless we allow you to. Absolutely. Thank you so much for saying that

because that is the one thing that worries me is that people have the expectation. that I can do magic. Right. I mean, people call me up to do things. It's like, I don't have any control over that. Right. That's another city.

Right. Hey, I got a parking ticket. Can you do anything about this? I'm sure you get those requests. But you know what? You are so right. I mean, to deal with these issues, everybody in L.A. needs to have skin in the game

because we have to build housing and people have to be okay with that. It's like either people are going to be outside or you're going to build something so that they can be inside. But we do have an election coming up and there are going to be some very specific things on that ballot for people to vote for. For example, we know one of the big issues is mental health. People don't have mental health care.

So there's going to be a thing on the ballot for people, a proposition for people to vote for so that we can build housing specifically to address people who are mentally ill. Incredible. And that's in our hands, L.A. That's in our votes. That's in where we give that voice. We have the power, but you have to use it. So I would love to come back when it gets closer to talk about all of this because we've got to continue to have the money and the resources in order to get out of this crisis. Absolutely.

So it seems like L.A. is like one of the most progressive cities, right? And it's like usually we do something and then the rest of the country tends to follow. What other instances have you seen where it's like, wow, like I've influenced with my. my policies and stuff like that, it's grown to have you seen any other specific cities, maybe like adopt some of your policies? Yes, that's interesting. You say that when I came in on my first day, instead of going to City Hall, I went to our emergency operations department and put the city in a state of emergency. And right after I did that, the county did that.

Several other cities did that. Cities around the country are looking at that. And I did that to give myself power to address the issue. Because how could you not look at 46,000 people on the street as other than an emergency? And every day, four or five of them don't wake up. How could you not see that as an emergency? But, you know, after a while, people kind of, they get mad at tents, but they kind of forget them and don't see them anymore.

But 9,000 people in those tents are children, they're babies, they're L-A-U-S-D students. You know, so you have to never lose your humanity. but to me part of declaring it to an emergency was to raise awareness, but it was also to give me additional power so that I could fast-track building because putting people in a motel is not going to last forever. That's temporary. And we have to get them into actual housing. And then we have to address why you wound up on the street to begin with.

Is it because you have some convictions and you need to get, you know, some relief there? Is it because you've been evicted before? Is it mental health? Were you a former foster youth? I mean, there's a lot of, where are you a veteran? A lot of reasons why people wind up on the street. Man, Madam Mayor, thank you so much for coming by. I appreciate any time you grace this.

I love to come. Thank you. And like our Mayor just said, elections are coming up. That means your call to action is right there. Hit the polls. Make sure that your voice is heard because someone will go vote. And you're going to leave that up to your life, how you live, all the things in your environment, up to someone else's hands if you don't show up and vote yourself, okay?

Thank you so much, Madam Mayor, for coming through. You're welcome anytime. I appreciate it. I appreciate it. Well, now I'm going to go under that freeway and get 40 people housed today. That part. Let's go. WozvotoVida.com for more information.
