For our lucky, it feels like I want to turn the TV off a lot now.
Turn social media, turn the TV off, everything that's on.
Dole de corazon, man.
But you know what?
We're getting through it.
Welcome to Wednesday.
It's June 11.
Why are we laughing already, brother?
Because I was about to say, because everything's crazy, scary.
Spooky hilarious.
Turn the TV off and chill.
Well, we're trying to add the hilarious part to all the crazy scary.
Trying to sprinkle that in, all right?
we're going to keep it going
We're all here together
I do feel
I feel a lot of pride
and unity and everybody
kind of sticking together
and going at Concrete for reading
I'm kidding
I'm kidding
If there's anything
Latinos are united on
It's the backlash
At Concrete's page
Rosting concrete
1700 comments
That's pretty viral
You're a viral comedian right
No no you're a viral comedian right dog
There you are
Weekly.
Are you at a million yet?
Are you at a million yet?
I'm not at a million yet.
Almost, almost broke.
A cumulatively, I'm at 1.5 million.
Let's get it, brother.
With like face most.
Oh, all the followers every year.
Oh, got it.
No, but he's really close on Instagram alone to be at a million.
I'm really close.
I'm really close.
However, is this as much comments as you're used to seeing?
No, I've, no.
Like, it's pretty unusual even for over a thousand comments.
No, I get that on average.
Wow.
Chill.
No.
I'm just.
I'm just.
Check.
I'm going to check.
I'm going to check.
I'm going to do.
No.
Okay.
Last week I had three videos that went over a thousand comments with.
One did like 5,000 comments.
Oh, amazing.
Okay, so we got a ways to go.
We got a ways to go.
Yes, please keep hating it up.
Please keep hating on my chat.
You know, no, but that's what pisses me off.
We're really guiding you.
It's not the fact that whatever people think or whatever this way or that way.
The video in question, by the way, is the video from Monday where Concrete had a speech.
prepared to talk about what's going on.
Very heartfelt.
I appreciated it.
That's nice.
The speed is at 5X fast.
But you were reading off of your laptop.
Because that's where I wrote it.
Yes.
And totally understandable.
A lot of the pros do that.
To me, there's nothing wrong with that.
I feel like Loki Jose was after you, though.
Because there's ways where he would have put it so it doesn't look like you're reading.
We're going to talk later.
Yeah.
He could have panted to us.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
A little B-roll here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
A little beer, you know.
But he was like, hey, watch what this guy's doing.
And so people are saying you're reading, AI did it, chat GPT.
That's what upsets me is that they're like, well, at first I was like,
it's really upsetting that people think that I did it on chat GPT.
First of all, I don't even know how to get to that website.
There's an app now there's idea.
Second of all, chat GPT doesn't make grammatical errors.
Right.
Right.
That's a jab right there.
Vic wasn't here yesterday to clown.
First of all, I'm jumping both of you from later.
If you guys ever been jumped by one fool, you're going to feel it.
Line up.
But I'm just, you know, and then I was like, you know what, that's kind of a compliment.
Yeah.
For them to say that, hey, I wrote that.
Imagine, dog.
I didn't even graduate high school, dog.
On time.
I did it, but on time.
I didn't walk, you know.
I think because in your speech you put in conclusion and you said therefore.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Big words.
Yeah.
On behalf, though.
Yeah.
On behalf.
To whom this may concern.
And in this.
Oh.
All right.
But we're getting there.
Shout out to you.
We're getting that.
We're at 1700 comments, please keep hating.
I wake up every day.
And it was tough, man.
It was tough.
It was.
Because you were coming out of the goodness of your heart.
I think you may be used to getting hated for your work.
Like if people were hating on your comedic style or maybe skids or whatever.
But this was very heartfelt.
So it almost was outside of.
that it's like,
people were like,
oh,
that's not him.
Yeah.
That's not him.
And I was like,
no,
this time it's me,
dog.
This time it is me,
dog.
What do you mean?
I can write.
There are even like pages
that were like,
Mexican comedian
gets backlash.
Yeah.
That gets backlash for,
imagine the headline
Mexican comedian
gets backlash
for defending
Mexican immigrants.
Bro, come on.
While using chat GPT.
While using chat GPT,
something that he didn't write.
All you're making me credit.
Prumps.
Promps.
My son was like, dad, you don't even know how to use chat GPT.
I was like, hey, dog, don't say that out loud.
But you're also like, that's my point.
Yeah, that's my point.
But, you know, I feel good about it.
We give you credit, bro. We give you credit.
Thank you.
I just hope chat GPT doesn't do your weather reports.
Let's get into concrete
concrete storms.
Come on, bro.
And now, the weather.
Hell my dog.

But this one protester
decided he's gonna make his own version of it
And sing it right now at the protest
Listen, everybody's going crazy.
Listen to this.
Everybody is in love with it.
Everybody's dancing to it in the videos.
As they should.
Yeah, it's amazing.
Seeing our people dancing and having fun in the light of this situation again,
doesn't that feel like you can't take us?
Like, you can't take our spirit.
That's not.
They're taking us, but you can't take our spirit.
You know?
And that happened actually in Pasadena, which is really cool.
We talked about it yesterday.
They actually ran ice out of Pasadena with.
the protest.
They had to get pushed back
to I believe Monrovia
and then they protested there as well.
But seeing these types of peaceful protesting
and then also the expression of pride
in our community by playing this type of music
and then how creative it got.
Bravo, man, that's amazing.
Everybody's dancing along.
Nobody's like in a bad mood.
Everybody's just like, yeah, let's go.
Yeah, it's a party.
Yeah, it's a party there.
Remember that?
Vic, could the song use some work?
I know you were judging the chance at the other protests.
No, that one was fine.
That was good.
Oh, that was good.
Oh, wow.
Big is like giving Mitchell and Stars out
Depending on like the gym
Greg, where'd you get fat banger?
Play it again, brother?
The pia right there.
La Pia letty
That's awesome
I just want to stand there with that
I love it.
I don't want to do the cumbia fingers.
Brett, bag.
What is the?
I've never heard of the McLend.
Yeah, the nuke's type of, slow it down, like chop and screw that.
That's Pulga music right there.
Did you see the video of the lady dancing pretty crazy?
It was a...
Oh, yeah.
Oh, no, she was great.
Oh, man.
They dubbed it with other music?
Yeah.
But I'm like, I want to know what she was dancing like that too.
I don't know.
She got low on the flow.
She got low.
She was like...
Yeah, she was shaking.
It was insane.
Yeah.
She went a record or something.
That's a...
Yeah.
The comment is like, or the title where it is like,
uh, rioters at the protest.
And then it's like her just turning up.
It's like, actually, this is what they're doing, you know?
She is not a writer.
Okay.
She is a retired carinoosa.
Hey.
Bro.
That's not respect.
Why?
She had what that meant.
Hey, no, 10 out of 10 moves.
She learned it somewhere.
How would you know?
She learned it somewhere.
So you have your cariosa, shimmy like that?
It's pretty crazy.
No.
No. That's cool.
But I want them to be able to.
able to know how.
It's so dumb.
Not asking them to do it, but they should have it in the bank.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Having your bag.
Never know.
Never know.
For that Tia.
We're going to post it on Brownham.
Yeah.
I can see it.
Like the shimmy was insane.
All right.
Let's get into shoutouts.
Yes.
Evelyn wants to shout out her sister for getting a residency.
She just says residency.
It doesn't say what residency, but just a residency.
Okay.
At the county jail.
This is very important.
Because it could be residency to the United States or it could be like,
a nurse residency?
A house.
That's what I was thinking.
No, that's a residence, bro.
Residence.
No one says,
I just got a residency.
I got a tree.
Maybe she's a DJ
starts residency at 12.
Well, can you ask?
Can you clarify?
I could ask her.
Either way.
The golden nugget.
Performing.
Spinning every Thursday for steak and lobster.
That's a deal?
I have sinning.
And I was like,
oh.
Okay.
Who are you?
Jessica wants to shout out Brownback for shining light into the darkness.
You guys help our spirits every single day.
Oh, I appreciate that so much.
That means a lot to us because we're definitely like out here after every show.
Like, we suck.
Fedio.
Or it's just me.
No.
Why didn't we get this right?
Sorry.
And then we got a birthday shout out.
David wants to shout to his nephew, Baby Dee for turning five.
Oh, my baby Dee.
Baby D.
Happy birthday.
Did a shout of it?
Yeah.
Shout out to Jordan.
It's our one year.
anniversary.
Wow.
Yeah, today's day, 611.
Did you guys have plans?
Just a little dinner.
Remember he said he'll do to take her to the Astros?
No, I already took her to a fancy restaurant on the weekend.
What?
Catch?
It doesn't count.
Oh.
He said no, but.
It's expensive.
Adrian, stop giving Vic passes.
Stop it, Adrian.
No, I get no passes.
It's expensive.
That's young love right there, man.
No, but it's anniversary.
It has to, like, hurt you a little.
It has to, like, be.
It is.
It does.
No, it doesn't.
It's free.
It's not free.
You get it free.
I pay.
I pay.
No, no, Adrian.
You're doing a great job, Adrienne.
He charges you double for what?
Probably, yeah.
To make up for that's not cheap to go there.
Aw, cute.
All right.
This is really important.
I'm going to, I had some stuff to share with you, but this is really important because
this is like really, really serious for Vic.
A year.
A year is a lot.
None of us would have believed a year is in his.
his career of dating because
Vic, please say it or I'm going to sound like a hater.
What was your previous?
Yeah, so I would operate on like a 60 day, you know, kind of basis.
Yeah, trial period.
90 day, yeah, 90 day was like pushing it.
Yeah.
Yeah, for sure.
For sure.
Pretty much every two months I would get into like a new fake relationship.
You know, but I stopped that cycle and now I've been with the same woman.
That's beautiful.
And you know what?
That's beautiful.
It's because it's different.
And like she's the one.
Yeah.
She's the one.
Dude, she's really nice, man.
She's really nice.
She's awesome, dude.
She's the one tatted on your whole arm.
That's right.
Yeah.
That was his anniversary gift to.
To himself.
Look what I got for you, for me.
All right, because I have to say something on behalf of the Brown Magnation that watches our reels and that pays attention to the show and all of that.
We had a very serious, like, ice protest reel.
All anyone was talking about was your tat and how you should be simple of the week.
And Maximil's been out sick.
I know. Oh, no.
They think it's rigged because they didn't make it to the...
We didn't do nothing about it.
It's rigged.
I think he's because it just broke like the sip meter.
Yeah.
We haven't done it since.
Overload.
Yeah. Like, it's just kind of...
Maximo's been sick to his stomach.
I have one shout out.
Can I wait?
Yeah.
Vick's doing here.
We're talking about...
No, I guess you're afraid.
I'm done.
I guess you can.
I know this is not previously scheduled, but...
Sim.
Or P.
B.
Z.
Slip, Slip, Slip!
Yonle Letticia!
Lettie!
There's a man in this room that would always say,
do not get a tap of somebody's name,
because it is the biggest curse.
Well, you have a too.
Especially if you're not married.
Yep, I remember that.
The man in this room is Rose Kranzvic.
What?
Who then got a tattoo on his own accord.
Full, what is this?
Forearm?
Yeah, forearm tat.
Shaved his arm for it too.
Shaved the other arm too just in case.
That was random.
What?
What?
Just so I could be symmetrical.
I don't know.
Wait, where do you even know where to end?
Like, you're very hairy.
It's funny.
You shaved your whole arm?
Yeah, for the most part.
All right.
Let's go back to the story.
Okay.
So it's a guy that has always said it's a curse to get a name tat.
Don't do it.
All of that, right?
Yeah.
but got his girl's name blasted.
Like it's a full-blown.
It's a mural.
He has a mural.
I thought Slow did this because of how big it is on his arm.
And it says Jordan.
And it has a sacred heart on it.
And it has a rosary on it.
And the date of your anniversary.
But just today?
Yeah.
6-11.
So tell us about like I guess the story of how this came to be.
I just, I wanted to do it.
I always wanted to tap.
And then I was like, watch.
I'm going to get your name.
named tatted and she's like no you're not oh yeah let me add that he's never gone a tap before this is his first
tattoo yeah and then so i told her uh i was gonna get it and she didn't believe me and then i was like
i'm serious i have an appointment she's like yeah right and then i was like i'm going with cartoon
yeah and uh shout out the homie rock roll g um and so yeah and so yeah i went and i went and i got it and
to the moment that i came out the homie rock and roll g because they're you should you should do the
thing the conversation like are you sure you want to do this yeah maybe a little bit smaller
rock world you'd be like hey do you want to wait a day tattoo
artists usually do that too.
They're like, hey, like, do you really want this right here?
Oh, for real?
Yeah.
Yeah.
He was like, how big do you want?
I was like, the whole thing.
The whole arm.
It's like when the girl got Drake on her forehead.
Yeah.
Okay, so you get it.
And what's your girl's reaction?
She, like, didn't know what to say at first because she was like, oh my God,
I can't believe you got to tap.
She was like, yes.
I can't break up with him no more.
She was like, that's so big.
Yeah, she was like, what?
What is going on?
This is the equivalent when a girl gets pregnant?
Oh, I can't leave her.
Yeah.
She was like, oh, my God.
No, you did it.
Oh, my God.
Why would you do such things?
What is your family?
My family?
Yeah.
My family actually hasn't said anything besides, like, my sister.
What did she say?
She's like, you're a sick ass fool.
Like, she's like, it wasn't much.
She doesn't even use those words.
She's my younger sister, so she can't say none.
But, um, but, um, but, you're a sick assessful.
Yeah, and then my girl was like, oh my God, I think I have a crush on you.
And I was like, I would hope.
I would hope so.
When you showed it to her, were you like, happy anniversary?
No, I was in a terrible mood because it hurt so much.
Of course.
So I was cranky.
I was like, look, I got it.
I told you.
And then she was like, why are you mad?
I was like, I'm not mad.
I'm just in a lot of pain right now.
How long did it take?
Like four or five hours.
Oh, damn.
Where is Vic on her?
In her heart.
inner sacred heart
Oh my God
Is that way you got the sacred heart
Yeah
She hasn't got you tat it
No I don't want her to
What?
Her body's a temple
Does she have any touch
Yeah does she have
Tets?
Love her daughter
So she can get a TET if she wanted to
Dehalo
Deh
He's the same
If she wanted to
Nah
Hey let's all put chain
Let's get it right there
Victor
I know
If she were to get a Tetted
Do you want her to Tett
Like Rosecrans Vick
Vick or Victor

That's a good one
Word on rose crab
I just want my logo stamped

That'd be dope
Yeah I want my logo stamped
What do you think now about the
Supposed Urban Legend curse
That if you get your name
I know what for you
What do I think about the curse?
Yeah
And you would probably have to change right
I'm here to break
generational curses you guys
Conquery has his girl
Let's all type it up for me
Yes, yes.
I got my wife tatted.
There's a big difference.
Totally.
Totally.
Totally.
It's the wife.
Not my one-year girlfriend.
That's crazy, dog.
That's crazy.
Thank you.
Who does that?
Rosecrans Vick.
No, he said,
people like are, like,
tiptoeing around it.
Oh, they have it really.
I agree.
Because, okay, because if you're full,
there's no way.
You can cover that.
Because what about if like in three weeks
she's like, never mind?
Then that's the risk I took.
What are you going to do with that?
He puts Michael on the other side.
But it's Jordan.
It's going to be Michael Jordan.
Jordan with the Y.
It's okay.
They misspelled Michael Jordan.
I could see Torrance there somewhere.
Like if he wants to change it to Torrance.
She's a really nice girl though.
I think you did.
I mean I fully support that.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
I was freaking cropped me
Obeek
Say the thing that
What you thought it would help you get out of
Oh so apparently
This is a new knowledge
I want to share with the world
Because if you don't have this
You wouldn't know
But when you get a tat
Of your partner's name
You don't automatically win
Every single argument after that
What do you mean?
So he did this for a couple of reasons
You would think right
You're just like oh like
Oh like you don't even care about me
I'm like
What are you talking about?
Look at my forearm. It's huge
And then she's like, I'm not talking about that right now.
I'm talking about.
No, this is all there is to talk about.
I mean, this just don't happen.
It's like, look it.
It doesn't go away.
It doesn't rub off.
Yeah.
I get it.
I would be like, I didn't say you to do that.
Yeah.
You thought that was your like, get out of junk?
Yes.
Yeah.
That's not why I did it, but I thought it would, you know.
That definitely didn't help.
Yeah.
It would be like, yeah, like a little bonus.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Nope.
I know we get you out of an argument.
Hey, do it.
Hey, do it's somebody?
Are you hungry?
baby yeah do you want coffee yeah i got a huge portrait of my mom and she still smack me for
getting that because it's tattoo she hates tattoos you would think right you would think that's like
you know when people testify it helps out when people testify to get immunity you think this would give
you immunity none no no no no at all but you don't know until you get it i think we're yeah you're
right you're right i would hope that best case scenario you're walking down the oh no she's walking down
the aisle and then you have that
tat and we're all like, bro.
You proved this wrong.
You shut us up.
I told you.
I hope so, Vic.
Yeah.
Thank you.
But I don't want her to be like,
when'd you do that?
What has her family said?
They're like, God damn, what's so big?
Hey, yo.
And they're like, really, Vic?
Her dad was like, you went and did that?
Because they know, because they know.
They know.
She just hasn't told you.
Does her dad...
Because they know.
Not great.
Eish.
Does her dad have her dad have her dad?
All right.
Let's just keep it real.
Jordan, please come in.
Jordan's on line number three right now.
All right.
Is it Simper pimp?
Why is that question?
Because it might be piff that it's like love and he's so...
What I do like is he's confident about it.
And you know, in speaking to Vick, because I was genuinely like, Vic, I just want to have
this conversation with you.
He was like, you know what?
I know that I did it with the best intentions.
Yeah.
And my full heart is in it.
And I think, yeah.
There's always a dudes that, like, say they're never going to get married.
They do the most.
Yeah.
I did it.
Dude, before I got my girl, like, married and engaged, I was like, I'm never going to get married.
Nothing.
I got engaged in seven months.
Oh, you know what it was.
You're really, like, hard one way.

You're hard one way?
When you know, you know.
Both sips right here.

Yeah.
And only I can see it.
I'll be listening to now, baby girl.
Does it say concrete?
I'm just thinking about you.
Thank you for waking me up this morning.
Did this say Christian?
Huh?
Did it say Christian?
Yeah.
Are you reminded of your religion every time?
Why would you say that?
Why would you say that?
She's looking back at it?
says, oh God.
You feel me?
Okay, instead of him
that Vic got the tattoo after saying,
don't get the tattoo because it's a curse.
It's Pimp.
I agree with you, dog.
It's Pym.
On his one-year anniversary.
Wait, does Jorge have lettice?
I told him, maybe it's me being subconsciously envious.
Do you have Horski?
No.
Let's get it.
No.
I'll pay for it.
I'll pay for it.
He can get it first.
And I wanted an old English.
I'm like Jordan.
He's.
I want a chess plate.
You do it first and then I'll go next.
And then in the back.
Do you love my man?
I think so.
Do you love the way you bring Jorge?
He is the man.
Behind every successful woman, there's a king.
Okay.
Keep going.
Jorge, I love you, but he.
Is it Sip and Pimp that they got a tat?
Pimp.
Simp of the century.
Pimp.
Simp.
It's, I think it's his first tattoo and it's his girlfriend's name.
It's simple.
It's one year's barely today.
The what?
He got this like a month ago.
I think it's sim because she-
It's sim if he doesn't propose.
He reminds me of the 90-day fiancee when the girl's like, oh, I like this view.
And he's like, you're my favorite view.
And then she's like, ugh.
That's who I think.
I don't like him.
Oh, the homie no neck?
Don't compare me that.
No, no, you're there.
You're right there.
I'm so handsome.
Remember he was walking through the middle of Asia, like hot?
Sweaty.
All right.
Rolls, crans, synth, sin, sit, sit,
All right, check this out, homie.
You need a homie or need some help.
We need your head.
We need a line.
I mean, phone line.
We got you for the homie help line.
Perritos that is going down.
Your boy, concrete, homie help line.
Oh, my God.
Who needs a help line?
This one's juicy, the home girl Rosie.
Rosie.
You better turn your butt to the wall.
Am I mistake you for Rosie?
Where's that from, guys?
I don't know.
Blood it, blood out?
La Bamba.
Oh, that's just not the part I remember in La Bamba.
That's the part I remember.
What?
Sorry.
Which part?
Please see.
It's when Bob's going to sleep with Richie and he's drunk.
And Bob said that to Richie.
And Bob's like, hey, you better turn your butt to the wall.
I might mistake you for Rosie.
Hey, yo.
What?
Why would you remember that part?
Because that's the crazy Theo right there, dog.
But that's his brother.
Yeah.
The crazy thing like Rosie and the originals.
The band?
Yeah.
Like the oldies band?
Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
Angel baby.
Yeah, Angel Baby.
That's what I was thinking, Rosie.
Oh, okay.
Well, not this Rosie.
That's a different.
Totally different Rosie.
This Rosie is not from Pequemma and who knows.
Maybe she is, but she says, hey, Brown Bag, I know what's a lot going on right now.
And on top of all this, my personal life is really going through it.
Same girl.
Same girl.
Coming to y'all.
I'm coming to y'all because I really don't know where else to go for advice.
That's crazy.
We are a trusted source, bro.
All right.
We're a shoulder that people can cry on, okay?
Safe space.
Not Vic, no more.
He has a tattoo now.
Oh, yeah.
Don't cry on Vic shoulder.
No, no, no.
All right.
So on Friday, me and my best friend, Gia, were out.
and her man was going to meet us up and take her home.
We were already done with dinner and he said he was on his way so he figured we would just wait for him in our car.
He gets into the parking lot and calls and says, I don't see you guys.
I don't know where you guys are at.
Where you guys park?
We will meet him in the front of the restaurant in my car.
I start to pull out of my...
Slow down. I start to pull out.
Slow down because I didn't remember.
I didn't catch what you said before that.
What do you mean?
He can't find them.
Yes, he couldn't find them.
them and the girls were waiting in the car.
Okay.
She says, I start to pull out of my parking space.
So they said, let's meet in front of the restaurant.
Yeah. And then I, and then she says, I got hit.
We look and it's my friend's man.
Blank bastard.
It was scary, but what kind of, but it was scary, but kind of a relief because now we're
knowing that we're not dealing with no stranger.
He was like, my bad, my bad.
I was checking my phone and I didn't see you pull out.
I was like, it's fine.
Let's just figure this out.
He hit the back of my passenger side of the car pretty good.
And he was like inspecting and he says,
I know someone that can fix it all.
Oh my God, I've heard that one before.
And that we should probably just go that route.
He said he can't find his insurance.
He left it at home.
What happened?
That's illegal.
That is illegal.
You're supposed to have it with you, right?
It's a California law.
There's apps and all of that.
That's a California law.
I read that.
If you have insurance, if not,
it.
That's illegal too.
That's illegal too.
We leave and they say, hey, we will send you the info and everything when we get back home tonight.
Well, once I got back home, my friend is calling me and to say to not go through with the insurance.
Yeah, right.
And that it may be both of our faults.
Tolla.
Tolla.
She says, let's try to work this out because now she's in a tough spot.
Me, her boyfriend.
It's just, I mean, me.
It's a lot, yeah.
Yeah.
It's just a lot going.
on and he's blaming her now because he said I hit her car because I was trying to pick you up I know
let me tell you let me tell you Rosie that's toxic relationship dog now I feel like if I go the
right way it may cause problems between me and her and she doesn't want these problems not she doesn't
say that how do I handle this brown bag I feel horrible please can what I said
baby girl I'm Rosie and that's the thing you know with everything that's going to
on.
We still got to deal with the personal stuff and, you know, like, it works stuff and things like, things of that nature.
It doesn't go away.
So Rosie's like, bruh, what do I do?
It's a hassle to deal with car accidents too like that.
And like, especially if it's your friend, because I've been in a situation where my friend ran into me.
Oh, really?
And yeah, I ran into the person in front of me.
But all it was, wait.
Oh, it was like a chain reaction?
Yeah, so your friend re-rended you?
Yes, my friend rerended me in my car.
Which one?
You don't know, my friend.
But yeah, so we were driving.
It's a secret.
It's my secret friend, ram me.
Rearended me in my car.
Serious situation.
Randed you in your car or your car.
Yeah.
All right, please keep going.
I don't know this person.
You need more protection.
Definitely.
So we were driving.
And then the light was green, but somebody had stopped.
I didn't see it.
So I slammed on my brakes.
And he also didn't see that I.
Slamming on my brakes.
Oh, he was following you.
So he was following me.
And boom, went straight into the back of my car, which pushed me up a little bit.
And I tapped the car in front.
What did you say?
What did you say?
Slamming, pushing.
Oh, my God.
It's the way you're describing your respect to the car.
I'm just like, do better.
I tapped the car in front of me with my license plate.
Like, my, all that hit the car was my license plate, right?
Oh, okay.
You tap the car in front of you with your license plate.
Yes, because when I got rear-ended, my car moved up.
Yes.
But the car on the front barely moved because it just hit my...
A little bit.
Yeah.
So the girl pulls over.
I pull over.
And then I was like, you can get information, swap information, right?
Boom, boom.
A week later, get a call from the insurance that she's tried to report that there's more than like $1,000 worth of damage.
Oh, damn.
Did you take photos, bro?
I had photos.
I even had like witnesses and stuff like that.
And then my insurance jumped up from like $300 to $1,200.
Oh, because they...
What?
Because of her reporting it.
No.
No, they found you.
They find, got you liable.
They tried to say, yeah.
Like, they were like, oh, yeah, there was all this damage.
That's when you should have called Sweet James, brother.
Now you know better.
That's when you should have started riding dirty.
Who is that right there?
But yeah, like, I had all the pictures of all the evidence, so the insurance went down, but not that much.
Got it.
Because it was still an accident that was reported.
Right.
And I was 18.
That was my first day I got my license.
Bro, in all my years.
That was the first day?
That's crazy.
That's so sad.
Is anyone else looking at him?
a little bit weird.
Yeah, a little bit.
Because your first day of having your license.
Yeah, I had my permit before that.
I had my permit before that.
You're rapping and writing, bumping and grinding.
I was...
I could see this not.
I was reportedly allegedly doing...
No, no, no, no, no.
This is definitely a case for sweet James.
And stuff like that.
Everyone's talking.
What did you say?
This is definitely a case for sweet change.
It is.
It is. It would have been back in the day.
It would have helped you.
Back in the day, it was a lot of time ago.
But in all my years, I have...
I've never heard someone say, yeah, I just hit them with my license plate.
Yeah, because there was a distance between us, but my car moved up.
And that was your first car accident.
First ever car accident ever.
My first car said, I didn't even hit a car.
I hit a house, dog.
Who put the house there?
Who just put the house right there?
Where'd the house come from?
It was San Fernando.
It was raining.
We're busting donuts.
I was ditching.
Reportially allegedly.
The block was hot.
And I literally, and I literally hit the, I, do I hit the house dead on?
And my boy, and we all get off the car, like, oh my God, it's my sister's 94 Honda Accord.
And we all get off the car.
My boy's like, don't even trip, dog.
I'll give you $20 for the bumper.
I was like, what do you mean, dog?
What about the car?
What about my life?
And then we hear the cops coming, woo, woo, and then we leave the car.
Wow.
And it was a brand new car, right, 94?
90. Wow.
Wow.
Big.
You were getting jumped after this.
He's going to hit you with a Jordan arm.
And so we hear the lights, you know, the cops are coming.
Yeah, the sirens.
And then I'm like, let's leave the car.
Let's jet.
So we leave.
And I run to my, I run to my cousin Vannis house, me and my cousin Pebs and my homeboy Hasi.
We're right there, dog.
We hear the cops.
And, dude, I felt like we were like in a, like, some kind of like bank chase robbery.
Oh, I felt sick.
The car accident.
And then so we leave the car, right?
And I was like, oh, man, you know what?
Don't even trip.
It was stolen.
Oh, like, that's what we're going to say.
Oh, yeah.
First shots.
We're going to say.
I'm going to say it's stolen.
So that was a Friday.
Saturday, Sunday.
Saturday, Sunday.
And then Monday comes around.
I'm in home room.
Mine in my own business.
Oh, you were still in high school.
They arrested you.
And I see the cops come in and they were like, Christian Gutierrez.
And I was like, me right here.
You're like, is this your backpack?
I was like, yeah.
I was like, where did you guys find that?
But like in the car, I was like, oh, the car that was stolen.
They were like, nah, that was you right there, dog.
And I got arrested, but it was a perfect thing.
because I walked out and I was like, I'll be back, homie.
And I came back the next day and it was like, everybody was like moving.
I was walking through.
You're the man?
The bad boy.
I was like, hey, give me your chalupa dog.
For a old.
El meromero.
It was the perfect thing that could have happened.
Hey, some things are going to change around here.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, so how is this going to help?
We don't know yet.
We don't know.
You know.
Y'all just wanted to ride on yourselves.
Yeah.
All right.
Rosie's home girls man here, her car and says,
Let's not go through insurance and she's tripping about it.
Let's help her.
Yeah.
And there's one time.
No, I'm kidding.
The homie, Rosie, has trouble.
She was with her home girl having dinner last Friday.
And she got hit by none other than her friend's boyfriend.
Yep.
In the car.
In the car.
He pulled up.
He didn't hear her.
Yeah, yeah.
He hit her in the car.
Not like physically.
No.
His car hit her car.
Yes.
Bumper cars.
Let's make sure that we all get that.
Make sure that you all get that right.
No, I want to see if you have to pay attention.
I got it.
I got it.
I got it.
I got it.
So on the scene, he was kind of like, oh, my bad.
He doesn't have insurance.
Yeah, but also like my bad.
My bad.
I wasn't looking.
He said he said he was paying attention on his phone.
Stay off your phones, people.
Yeah.
Yep.
Stay off your phones, por favor.
Yes.
Especially when you're driving.
Okay.
And then, so anyway, so he doesn't, he didn't, he doesn't carry his insurance at that home.
That is illegal.
That's what he said.
Very legal.
I feel like you know that's illegal.
because you probably did it and then they told you that's illegal.
No, it's a new driver's test.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I didn't get that question.
Me either.
It's on your driver's test.
Well, some of them are.
The driver's test is randomized.
Oh, okay.
That was on my driver's test.
Yeah, I remember that.
How long did it?
How long did it?
How long did it?
Oh, is this a new?
Driver's test?
All right, so he was telling her, you know, I have my insurance at the crib.
By the way, I know a guy that could fix this.
We could just go that route.
Kind of like trying to persuade her.
It seems like she, low-key was like, no, let's figure it out.
send me when you get home when she gets home she gets the call from her home girl that's like
hey you know it could have been your fault too the way you backed up or whatever like trying to maybe
guilt her yeah we should probably not going through insurance and then she's like oh cool i still want the
info and the home girl was like look he's blaming me for this damn he says that i i'm the reason
he got in a car accident because he can't pick me up and then boom he's like i don't want him
problems. It's my fault. And then it seemed like it's on the girlfriend to make, make this go away.
Yeah. And so now she's hitting up, Rosie. Can we just go through without insurance?
Yeah. That's expensive. But maybe, is there a moment where that's a better option? You're looking out for someone.
You don't want points on the insurance to go out. Yeah. It can be, but I hate when the person that hits you is like, all right, this is what we're going to do. It's like, no, bro. Like, it's on my terms.
You know what I'm saying? True.
Let me say that.
Yeah, like if I want to go through insurance, okay, then that's what we're going to do.
But it's like, bro, you hit me.
I was minding my business and you hit me.
And now you want to dictate how this is going to go.
No.
Yeah.
And for somebody that's gone through that, like, I've done, that's what I did in my situation.
I didn't go through insurance with my homie because my car was pretty, like, bad.
But he's like, don't trust me, I got it.
Like, I'll cover everything.
You don't have to pay a dime.
Oh, okay.
Always make sure, like, where you're taking your car to because it's usually a friend that they have
or something like that.
Because when I got my car back, it was perfectly fine in the back,
but they covered up, like, on the front where they dropped something on it or, like,
they scratched up the...
Crazy.
You always be careful.
Just be careful of, like, where you're taking it.
Because it's under the table, technically.
Yeah.
You're not going through insurance.
Yeah.
So you guys prefer to not go through insurance?
I don't know.
What would you do?
Marcus hits your car.
Oh, I'm running it up.
I'm running it up.
Hey, my neck.
My neck hurt.
Sweet James, please do it.
For favor.
My spinal cord is dislocated.
While we're at it, do a background check on him, please.
Figure out what else we can get them on.
Jesus.
You take my best friend away.
I'm still here.
All right, what?
I just don't really trust people nowadays.
You know what I'm saying?
I just, I'm like, you know what?
I just want to go through the proper channels because what ends up happening is it goes
and becomes a bigger headache than it was supposed to.
And it's like, this is why I pay insurance every month or these scenarios.
If not, then what's the whole point?
But are you really going to take your car for a little, like if it's a little scratch or a little, like...
Vink is.
He needs to pay off this cat.
Yeah.
For sure.
Yeah.
It's a full sleeve.
No.
Yeah.
No, I have.
I mean, like, there's been times where it's like, yeah, the car got scratched and stuff like that.
And I'm just like, all right, well, here, I got to pay the deductible, but then it's
going to be like new again.
You know what I'm saying?
Deductible for a scratch?
For like a lot of...
Well, it depends on your deductible.
It was like 500.
No, it was like bad scratch.
and then like my car got broken into.
Man, if that's the case,
I'm just gonna, hey, homie, put your car,
let me tee bonnet, but that's,
let's get you a brand new,
a brand new car.
You know my dad,
like, let's say something were to happen
and my client did tire,
like my dad is like, hey,
I know someone can get you tired
and I'm like, okay, like I trust it.
But it's often like when we're in a car accident,
we don't trust it.
Like if I had a way,
Got a car accident.
My tire blew out.
Oh, well, I know someone that could fix it.
Well, because that's a stranger, too.
But what if they really do know people that can fix it?
Nah.
No, thank you.
Yes.
Do they really?
Yes.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, I would go through.
Driving around in a salvage title.
You're going straight about the back of your cars, like, twisted to the other side.
It builds character.
It happens.
It humbles you.
All right.
Let's go to Jorge and Pekueh.
What's up, Jorge?
Good morning.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Hey guys, Ben.
Ki over there.
Just trying to get through it, bro.
Trying to get through it.
I know.
It's been a rough week.
It's been a rough couple weeks.
Yeah, but over here, they're both screwed.
They usually, there's no way on this one.
Usually when it's like part of property or parking lot, if they report it, they're both, their insurance is going to go 50-50.
So they're both going to get screwed.
They're both going to have an accident record and they both can have to pay back to us.
Okay, I was going to say that because even if it's not your fault,
your insurance still goes up, right?
Yep, it can.
Really?
No, if it's not your fault, 100%, you're not.
But more than insurance, the insurance is the only one that's going to win.
If the insurance says, hey, you know what, we can't determine who's that fault.
They're going to go 50-50, which they've been doing a lot lately.
They've been doing it.
And both insurance are going to go up.
Both of the deductible.
And if your house, your car insurance is attached to your home insurance, your home insurance,
oh, man, they're just looking for an out.
So they can, they can get out of the insurance.
So you're saying go without insurance.
Go not through insurance.
Figure it out.
Go to a auto body shop
with there on the road or something and just figure it out.
Very specific instructions.
He's like, my dad owns it.
Concrete has a bunch of connections in the valley right there,
man.
They're right there on the road.
They'll give you a brand-new bumper
from another car that got Jackson.
Okay, that's not giving it.
No, no.
It's pout, pout, pout.
A brand-new bumper.
You get a lot of things
on time front of the road
Let me tell you
Like what
Stop it
Because my dad's in that area
And he's a lot of biting citizen
That makes keys
Yes my dad
I'm telling you
My dad didn't
Yeah
If I were to get
Something happened to me
Yeah
Even my dad himself
Low key
An accident happened to him
His light went out
Boom
Go to El Pulpo
The pick your parts
You got it out of the car
That's the best place
Yeah
What do those people
Use those keys for
Huh?
Those people
No bro
Don't do that
Now my dad
You never know
Not my dad, bro.
Do not insert him.
That's his front.
That's his front.
Let his dad's a keen pin.
Who are you guys?
Trump?
He's a law-biting citizen.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, sure.
Don't do that.
Do not do that to my dad, please.
He's a good man.
He's a great man.
He's a great man.
He's a job.
No, no, not you'll do you know, not to let's not.
3.5 kilos of javis,
for you.
What?
I got the keys, keys, keys, keys.
my dad gets targeted it's because of you fools
hussein in anahim huan
good morning juan ana kron
thanks
hey good morning brown bag how you guys doing
amazing look juan uh this this girl rosy
she hit us up because her and her homegirl were out eating
the homegirl's man went to pick her up
but when she was pulling out of her parking space
he was looking at his phone and he hit her
and so he was like dang my bad i was looking at my phone but you know what
I got someone like it can fix this, let's just do it that way.
She kept kind of insisting for insurance info.
When she got home or home girls, like, let's not go through insurance.
Low-key, it might be your fault anyway, your fault as well.
And my man's pretty mad at me.
Can we make it happen without insurance?
What would you say, Juan?
I would go through the insurance.
If you don't want smoke with your friend and boyfriend,
then you can just claim a hit and run.
You can have them pay you for deductible, get your car fixed,
and then they can worry about their car later.
Wow.
That is also illegal as well.
Yeah.
Everything people are saying is illegal.
Jorge is saying to go to the auto body shop that chops up parts,
which, by the way, now, Wadha Auto Body,
he just snitched on you that you guys are doing something crazy.
Then, that's what he said.
My law body citizen legal resident dad is doing something crazy in this climate.
No, the crazy part is that Greg all of a sudden works for Sweet James Turner.
No, Greg is a cat.
He's a cat. He's a fan.
Who are you?
That's illegal.
Been part of all of that.
Who are you?
Who are you?
I get you Juan.
That seems like I guess if she's not trying to get her home girl caught up and stuff,
but also wants to go the right way and not maybe risky with insurance or with auto body shops or whatever,
say, hey, someone hit me.
That's my type of fraud.
That's smart actually.
That's my type of fraud is crazy.
Yeah.
That is what is considered fraud.
For sure.
No one needs to know.
No one gets hurt.
And no one needs to know.
Maybe we shouldn't be encouraging that.
I get where you're coming.
I get where you're going.
I guess we're going, it makes sense.
Jill, Jill, Jill and Fullerton.
What's up, Jill?
Hi, hello.
Hi, Jill.
Good morning.
What illegal thing do you have for us?
I just want to say, I love you guys.
Like, you guys get me through my mornings every time I drive to work.
I appreciate that, Jill.
Thank you for everything you guys do.
Thank you, you, Mama, Sita.
It's been a tough couple days, but I'm glad that we can put smiles on everybody's faces.
Yeah, it has to.
All right, hold on one second.
KPWR, HD1, Los Angeles, Power 106, L, L.A's number one.
for hip-hop line.
Jill from Fullerton was just complimenting us.
Jill, keep going.
Go ahead.
Yes, I'm right here.
Okay.
Okay, so first of all, I feel like, I mean,
I kind of feel like he's kind of gaslighting the situation
because, first of all, he doesn't have, he doesn't have, like, his insurance,
he doesn't have it with him, you know, and it's his fault.
Yeah, exactly.
A man gaslighting?
What?
No.
I know, right?
Crazy.
But, I mean, I feel like it is his fault.
But, you know, if she wants, like, the girlfriend, like, why don't they just split it?
You know, just split it, you know?
Like, sweet talk her man, do what she can.
And just split it because, I mean, yeah, okay, he was picking her up.
But at the same time, he was driving so goddamn close.
If he wasn't driving that close, that wouldn't have happened, right?
Oh.
Well, if she was backing up that far, that wouldn't have not happened either.
Huh?
If I didn't have to pick her up, that would not happen either.
That's crazy.
That's so toxic.
I get it, though.
Split it.
No, Rosie needs to drop that zero.
He's a scammer.
The boyfriend.
The boyfriend.
Rosie's homegirls man.
She's not going to.
She probably likes the fake Rolex.
He got her for their anniversary.
He probably likes that.
Well, first of all, what's wrong with fake Rolexes?
No, because you're calling him a scammer.
He probably likes that.
life.
Oh, okay.
Get what I'm saying?
But there's something wrong with fake roses.
No.
Do you have one?
I don't look at me.
Nobody knows.
I don't know.
No, I'm thinking it.
Don't look at the bezel.
Okay.
He's trying to gas lighter basically.
Yeah, for sure he is.
Maybe he doesn't even have insurance.
That's probably what I think.
I don't think so.
That's for sure it.
That's for sure it.
What's happening right now.
I have plenty of insurance.
It's just a got to go.
That's exactly what happened.
Oh, wait.
If you don't have insurance, then how can your insurance go up?
Boom.
Now you're thinking like a scammer baby girl.
There you go.
I knew you had it in you.
Welcome.
I knew you had it.
You little scammer.
You look at you.
We are too much right now.
We are.
Look.
Scam.
Scam.
Scam or jam?
Scam.
Scam or jam?
Scam.
What type of scam?
I know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
You want to do a pyramid scheme?
What?
Oh, okay. Because when you say scam, I'm way old school.
I think making out.
Make it out.
Oh, no, like I want to do fraud or something.
Oh.
Don't fall for it.
The cop is trying to get us.
It works through the way scam and jam.
You can be a scammer and then jam after the scam or you can scam and then.
Thank you for tuning in and rocking with us.
You know, I know a lot's going on.
And you guys are constantly telling us, we listen to you.
You brighten up our mood.
You make sure that you're speaking about the things, but you're also giving us that escape
at the same time.
And, you know, often it's easier said than done to give that escape, but there's some things
that we can escape.
And it's what's coming to Los Angeles and what's been happening since last Friday.
And even since before then, you know, it's been happening, I guess, in individual spurts
for months on end.
But now it's kind of like a full ice raid.
The National Guard is here.
The Marines are here.
And it seems like we've been an all-out tension.
And so we're discussing, like, you know, what?
could we do on Brown Bag? How can we best identify with with the situation but still provide something
of a comfort? It's hard to find comfort right now. Oh, definitely. And I think as it's true for anything,
when you're seeking comfort, you go to music. Yes. So it's my pleasure and thank you concrete for
making the call to our guy Julian Torres. Julian Torres, Mariachi Extraordinaire, signed to death row
records.
Wow.
Yeah.
Like already putting you down.
I remember I saw you for the photo shoot.
Shout out Born and Ray's.
They were commemorating Juan Gabriel and you were there, decked out on your
mariachi outfit and just singing a Juan Gabriel song.
You truly touched me with that.
Oh no.
Juan Gabriel, I think Juan Gabriel is a world icon.
Yeah.
And Born and Ray shout out to them.
And our family.
Thank you for making it happen.
Where are you from, Julian?
Born in Hawthorne, California.
Wow.
Okay.
...ofsacacacacques and Calisco.
A South Bay Kid.
Oh, no.
That's awesome.
So as you're seeing all of this stuff, you know, we're talking about, like, I wonder
what we could play or how we could best feel the moment.
I guess what's your take on everything that's going on, Julian?
Seeing it from one, clearly a son of immigrant perspective, a proud Mexican perspective,
and here understanding what's going on, how are you taking it all?
Well, of course, yes,
affortunado of
his son of Mexican,
I am so proud to be
a Mexican descent,
but also proud to be an American.
So,
everything that America has
offered to us,
then we are in the moment
where we are giving respect
to our roots, our ancestors,
and we see the, not only
immigrant injustice but the human injustice that's happening right now so I think that's where
everyone's like wait wait wait what's going on here and we're trying to help the best way the
peaceful way to show that we are here we're presentes yeah you know we spoke earlier in the
week about this time is really scary we're seeing like people the freeways are a little bit more
clear because people may not be going out but they also is a way that the oppressor wins when
locked up in hiding and you're scared you know and I think something again we spoke about our
community and our people that we choose joy even in times of being afraid even in times that people
are attacking us we choose to smile and you know there's a reason why salia cruz did uh carnival like
you know la viroo san carnaval you have to you have to be able to to find that joy and I think
a lot of us seek that joy and comfort in music and when you're Mexican-American and Mexican
there's no better way to feel the love or vibe or just the moment than mariachi music.
Sure, that's free. Mariani is patrimonial of the humanity.
It's protected everywhere.
You see a traje de charro and you immediately, you see people just lighten up.
So it's protected.
And I'm so fortunate to have this blessing.
I know you can sing so good.
Everyone can sing.
No, no.
No, no.
Not fiends.
It's not good.
Not good.
Somebody that can sing great is like everybody can do this.
After three chilladas, I feel like I'm you, but I'm not, okay?
Well, all we can't sing.
All right, all we'd say.
A lot to sing a song that all of the cellito-lindo.

Thanks to all

showing some love
let's stick together
we're presentes
the people
unido
never seravent
yes
this is be real
from Cyprus Hill
where are you from
Ese?
Don't you know I'm local
All right there's really
nothing more
newsworthy than what's been
going on here in Los Angeles
and worth talking to you about
you know we try to take our
time out of the show to make sure that we
give it space
again the energy the fear the anxiety
the unrest all of that
but amongst all of this that's going down
with the ice raids that are happening
that are just popping up everywhere
according to reports we should
prepare for 30 days of this type of stuff
so in that
there's questions that we have and
thankfully there's people
that can have answers to certain questions
on the line we have our friend
Irving Blanco. Erving, good morning.
Good morning, Ledy. How are you?
Good, Bob. So Irving, specifically, you're in finance, but you do like banking and stuff,
no? Or how can I best title you, brother?
Yeah, so I focus on the commercial real estate portion of things. So not really an agent,
more of the financing portion of it.
And Irving, it's important that we speak to because not just our immigrant families out here
and making a life for themselves.
They're also starting businesses.
And one question that I guess we had amongst us is,
what happens to the things that you own,
the stuff that you have if your life gets uprooted and taken away?
And that's where you come in and you've had more insight on this, right?
Correct.
You know, one of the things to start out with is I've been where they're at.
You know, I was born in Mexico, and I came here when I was seven,
you know, the very same way a lot of people did.
and I was actually taken to Mexico for a year in order for me to get my residency.
So it's a, I know how it feels to get like uprooted and go to a country that you kind of don't know anything about, but you were born there.
Right.
So, you know, right now with a lot of these individuals, I want them to know that there's ways of them protecting themselves, especially with businesses.
You know, one of the things I'm seeing a lot of is these business owners that are so.
afraid and they're selling their businesses for pennies and the dollar because they'd rather
have the money in their pocket than run the risk of just getting, you know, uprooted and not
having anything to show for it.
Wow.
So, you know, with that being said, there's different strategies that people could come up with,
such as like creating corporations, creating LLCs, creating family trust.
A lot of those ways allow you to protect yourself and designate somebody that could
handle those financial affairs for you.
in the event that something was to happen to them.
Are you, I guess, like, for example, like, let's say I'm Jose Luis, that's my dad's name,
and I started a business, a landscaping business, right?
And then you're seeing people, I guess, give up the naming or give up,
what are they selling off to people because of this whole situation?
So what they end up selling, say your dad has the,
the route, you know, a lot of this landscaping businesses have the routes and they have,
they've built up this client base of, you know, 100, 200 houses generating them, you know,
10,000, 20,000 a month and something happened. So somebody still has a service that. So they
give up that portion of it. You know, also you have mechanics. One of the biggest things that
we're seeing a lot of right now is a lot of these mechanics that had came, you know,
they know mechanics, they ran their business, they were able to buy a commercial building.
And now if something was to happen to them where they get uprooted, not only are they going to lose
the business, but also a building that they bought for, you know, if you're in LA, you know,
you can't buy anything for less than a million.
So now they're losing that building that they've bought for a million.
So one of the things that we're focusing on at our company is making sure that we educate
the individuals and create the proper structure.
through the LLCs and the corporations, even with family assets, such as a home.
A lot of these individuals have bought a home.
And they don't have a proper plan in place, such as their family trust or even appointing
somebody like a power of attorney.
And one of the things I want to tell you on that portion is that there has to be a specific
designation on that appointment of a power of attorney that defines being deported.
because a durable power of attorney
be this to exist
if you get uprooted from a country
unless there's a specific designation in there.
Got it.
I do have a question.
What would an LLC do for me
that how does it protect my business
that if I didn't do it?
If I would just open the shop
and then no business name nothing,
having an LLC helps me how?
It helps in a sense of
having officers listed on there.
So like say for instance,
you're still going to take ownership on there.
This person takes over should something.
Okay.
And then to get an LLC, like,
it doesn't matter if you're a citizen or not.
Like that's just a business thing, right?
Like there's no background checks or anything like that.
Correct.
One of the things that the U.S.
looks at with corporations and LLCs,
they look at them.
It's called an unnatural living person.
So pretty much an LLC
has his own EIN number, its own identity.
So it's correct.
They look at it as a, they look at it as an own person.
So in the event that you're not there,
somebody else can step in and manage a company.
That's something they can structure right off the bat.
You know, in the event of something that happens to me,
this individual's next in line to make sure that they manage the LLC and the business.
And it allows you to have peace of mind if you were uprooted.
You know that somebody selling your assets.
They can sell them.
them off the proper way at the proper value and you not run the risk of not having anything
to show for it i get it i see too like there's people that are not in this country and they could be in
china or they could be in england or whatever and they own property here or they own have businesses
here like i think one thing that's popping up to my my my head is the graffiti tower in downtown
l.a it's owned by a chinese company but they're not here you know what i'm saying so that's and also
like trump saying i think he and he said you can get a gold visa if you pay
If you're outside of the country, but you bring in business here or it's a thing.
I don't want it to be specific to, I guess, the Latino community or that this is happening to it.
It's immigrants as a whole.
And then people outside of the country as a whole can low-key have things here that operate.
And so you're saying take part in that, get that LLC so you can be outside of the country and still have these things that you have ownership with.
I do want to mention Irving.
when we're talking about immigrants that may be undocumented,
that own houses, that have businesses,
they also pay taxes.
They also are, I don't want it to be like,
they're in here and they're taking our homes and they're owning businesses,
but there is a sacrifice that has to be made as well to have these things.
Correct, 1,000%.
And, you know, one of the things that happens a lot in the Hispanic community
is that, you know, we're so cash driven and we like to do it.
We don't like to have debt and things like that.
Where there's a lot of resources available, you know, proper structuring of your,
your companies, the businesses, the family.
Even regular Americans need that, Loki.
Yeah.
Yeah, you know, and the thing of it is that, well, paying all these taxes, you know,
they lose benefits in creating the structure with the LLCs and corporations as well
because there's benefits that they could receive through those structures such as write-off
things that there might not be able to write off at the moment.
So there's still a lot of benefits.
If you're paying the taxes, why not structure it the right way and pay less in taxes
and keep more under pocket?
Yeah, true.
Irving, I had a question.
So are you saying that if you get deported, you forfeit like your property and your
businesses?
Is that how it works?
It's not that you forfeit it.
If you don't have the proper structure, you don't have nobody to run the business.
How is that going to continue to run?
And then in a property, say for instance, something that's super common, you have a mom, for instance, a single mom, Hispanic, running the business.
Let's just say they have a salon.
You know, they've been able to buy the salon.
They've been able to run to practice.
They get uprooted and left.
Now the salon is going to close because nobody's going to run the business.
who's going to pay the bills you lose your client base and now you know because there's no client base
we're going to make that mortgage payment on that building so the bank is going to come in
take position in the building sell it and you know they pretty much lost that on an other asset at that
point yeah you lose it because like you have literally nothing no structure set should you be gone
so initially like it's the preparednessness the preparedness plan of if if I'm gone
this is who takes over, but when it happens with businesses, there's actual ways to go about it,
get it in writing, again, that power of attorney, the operating agreements and all of that
type of stuff that can speak for that. Otherwise, you don't even know who's left up in the air
to do it, you know what I'm saying? And this could be something similar that they're saying,
like, even low-key with your children, we're talking about being prepared. Yeah.
Who in your family are you going to say, hey, this is, I'm leaving it.
I want you to be their guardian and you might try to get that in writing as well and all of
that should something happen to me. It's that preparedness that you're saying, but also on a
business and on an asset part. Correct. And let's just be honest. You know, a lot of times
we don't know who we could trust, especially when we're talking with hundreds of thousands of
dollars because I know our community is very successful and they have the ability to make that
type of money. When it comes to that kind of money, you're like, okay, who do I trust? Do I really
trust this person or do I not? Just know that if you seek legal advice,
There is such thing as some guests called a fiduciary appointment,
meaning that you appoint an attorney or a law office to manage these affairs on your behalf.
Oh, wow.
And they have a fiduciary responsibility to do as you say, as it's written on the contract.
So there is such a thing if they cannot find somebody that they can genuinely trust.
Thank you so much, Irving.
Thank you for answering our questions.
I guess did we miss something?
Is there something that you would like to make sure people know
if they're running businesses or if they have things like a home and the worst case scenario
should happen in their life?
The one thing I would want them to know is that preparation is key for absolutely everything.
You know, I don't say that lightly.
My mom, same thing.
She's ran her business and went on.
One of the biggest things we focused on is creating a family trust because that will
allow for her to have peace of mind in the event that something was to happen.
So at the end of the day, I think he's just looking for the resources, asking the questions,
and not being afraid of trying something different to make sure that to protect themselves
and the family.
Thank you so much, Irving.
Thank you for calling.
And I appreciate you, bro.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Yes, have a good one.
You too.
You too.
Yeah, that information needs to be out there.
You know, a lot of times where, again, I say this to our immigrant community.
but also like I don't know as regulars are like and not to say we're not regular but like I guess even us with status.
Yes.
Here like we're our business is still.
That lawyer one like really.
I was like, wow, I didn't know that.
Being able to have that financial advice and this is this time where you have a lot of angst from somebody that kind of has been through it as well.
That's really important because there's those fears too.
What's going to happen to my stuff?
What's going to happen to the stuff that I work so hard for?
Am I going to lose it?
To have here, you know?
Yeah.
Thank you so much, Irving.
I appreciate that.
Connected like I'm Rosecrans.
Rooscrans.
The word is, day 20 of Diddy's sex trafficking and racketeering trial took place yesterday, and it was a wild one.
All right.
So it was another day of testimony from an ex-girlfriend of Ditties named Jane Doe.
She's supposed to be anonymous.
That's why they use the name Jane Doe.
But the king of Petty, 50 Cent, has hinted that it could be his baby mama, Daphne.
joy allegedly.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
And in her testimony, he's like, he's clowning on Instagram and, you know, posting photos
and stuff like that.
There's a reason, though, they put them as Jane Doe.
Exactly.
So, you know, the identity wouldn't get out.
So in her testimony, she stated some things that were very similar, if not identical,
identical to Cassie's statements.
And she said that she even feigned while reading Cassie's allegations towards Diddy back
in 2023.
So just like Cassie, Jane.
Jane Doe would hire male escorts to join them in sexual experiences at Diddy's request.
And it was the same thing except Diddy called these hotel nights as opposed to freakoffs like he did with Cassie.
So he changed the name on it.
Hotel nights.
Let's have some more hotel nights.
And I don't know why he changed the name on it with her.
But so many things were alleged in the testimony.
But none more shocking than when Jane Doe said Diddy called a particular three-way they had with the male escort the trifecta.
What?
Yeah, Diddy said he is MJ, Michael Jordan, jing do is Kobe Bryant, and the male escort is Shaquille O'Neal.
No.
That's what did he said.
Role-playing?
They were the perfect, the trifecta.
And when did this happen?
We need to be too.
This was happening recently.
This was happening back in 2023, 2024.
So this wasn't a role play.
Like, he was just thinking.
No, that's just like weird.
He was wearing Kobe's jersey.
That's great.
No, he was, no.
I hope not.
Diddy Michael Jordan.
It's that they were, you know, having this.
And that was the, because they've tried other male escorts.
And they said, you know what?
We found the perfect one with this combination, right?
And so that's what Jane Doe was saying about Diddy.
And her and Diddy was like, I love this.
This is the trifecta right here.
I'm MJ.
You're Kobe and he's Shaquille O'Neal.
And I'm just so confused because they, first of all, they never played on the same team.
Yeah.
They never played on the Lakers together or anything like that.
and why do you have to use Kobe?
Yeah.
You know, it's like, can you just leave him out of your freaky things?
All right, P.
It's like his big three, basically.
Pretty much, yeah.
But it's like, bro, just leave him.
At least naming a girl, like Cheryl swoops or something.
I don't know.
Yeah, leave Kobe out of this.
None of them.
First of all.
He's a Leslie or something.
It's like, I guess he's trying to think of like the triangle offense, but it's like,
all right, just Derek Fisher.
How come Derek Fisher isn't in that?
Because he was originally in the triangle offense.
Yeah, so you're thinking about like people that
played together.
No, I don't know.
It's just like, why would even compare it to basketball players?
Yeah, exactly that part.
I have so many questions.
Jordan and Shabby did play once.
But I guess.
Yeah, and Jordan and Kobe did play.
I don't want to have that.
They were on the opposite team.
No.
I don't know.
This is so wrong.
It's, and it was shocking, you know, to everyone, obviously, because it's like the
disrespect to like, you know, even involve Kobe.
Obviously, because he's passed away, but any of them.
It just feels so uncomfortable for him to say that.
Yeah, we're like Kobe, M.
Jay and Shaq like what?
Who says that?
Diddy?
Who?
Diddy?
Yeah.
That is weird.
Yeah.
Like it's just because you're, it's,
you're trying to compliment but not in a good way.
It's just like, just leave.
Yeah.
Leave them out of this completely.
Nobody needs to be involved in your like, you had a gatorade stand and towels and all that
right there.
I don't know.
The game.
The game.
No.
It was really shocking.
You guys do anything on the Jordan of this?
this, I'm the Jordan of that.
And so he just was saying he's the Jordan of the hotel nights.
It's a guy thing.
I don't think, I don't, it's gross.
It means you're the goat.
Yeah, I can say like when you're the Michael Jordan of this or I'm the LeBron of this.
Yeah.
I get that.
I'll compare myself to like Paul Pierce.
You know, the Paul Pierce of what?
Yeah, when I just flop, I flop, and that's it.
Anyway, let's move on.
Yeah.
It's just, it was uncomfortable.
Everybody, that was like one of the most shocking.
And it was a lot of things, you know, that she had mentioned.
But that was one thing that stuck out and made like plenty of headlines.
It was like, bro, what are you naming, you know, Kobe in here for?
What are you naming Michael Jordan in here for?
And Shaq's probably somewhere like, what?
Yeah, I was going to ask.
Has Shaq?
He hasn't responded yet.
But I can imagine, you know, he probably will.
I'm sure he knows Diddy personally, too.
So it's like, bro, what?
Leave me out of your stuff.
Yeah, don't be role playing with my name or something.
Role Plays.
To me, that's what it sounds like, but I know it's not.
But thanks for grossing us out.
Yeah.
No, it's Diddy.
It's not me.
Yeah, but now I know about it because of you, fool.
That was your word on Rosecrans.
Brought you by a local Southern California, Toyota dealers.
I'm Rose Crens, Victor Bound back mornings.
I'm Power 1st.
Hey, Brasala with Angie.
All right, Cardi B has actually spoken up about the ice rates that are currently going on.
Like, if you guys know, she's always been very, very vocal about when it comes to anything like politics, things like that.
A couple of months ago, she actually was on, like, a live, and she was talking about how.
how her Theo, her uncle, one of her uncles got deported, right?
Oh, man.
And so people were saying, like, where's Cardi B.
Y, since she's saying anything, she's very vocal.
During this time.
During this time.
And she actually did speak out on about it on Twitter spaces.
She went on.
And she was telling us, like, you know what, you guys?
I actually warned you about all this.
Listen.
The reason why I haven't really said anything is because I could say something every single
day about it.
And guess what?
Nothing is going to happen because Trump do not.
give one
about me
or what I gotta say.
I personally believe
that he doesn't like me.
I feel like if I talk
about it, he'll be like I
since you want to talk shit
I'm gonna deport 500 people today
on purpose just to piss you off.
Now I'm gonna be bad for real.
So she's saying
it could work against the situation
because of spite
especially with how outspoken
she's been.
And I gotta give Cardi B credit.
She's very well versed
when it comes to
history.
I think that was her favorite
subject. Yeah. I think she can name all the presidents and not that that's like, oh wow,
big, can you name all the presidents?
No, not me. Right? So she's been very invested in the political game to Ann used her voice at different
moments. I have seen that happen, you know? I believe she endorsed Bernie Sanders. She definitely
she did last year. She did. Not last year. But last year, yeah, yeah, yeah. But last year, yeah,
she was very vocal. She was actually one of the speakers for Kamala Harris, like in one of the
assemblies that she had, right? And that's why she's saying, like, since Trump films,
I'm very Democrat.
This is going to work against me.
She thinks her commentary might fan the flames.
Yeah, and make the others for the cost.
Yeah, but she did continue and she was saying like, you know what?
Trump actually gives me dictatorship vibes.
Listen.
I tried to warn people last year.
This is the type of shit that it was going to happen.
He always gives dictatorship vibe.
If I talk about it every single day, he's not going to care.
I feel like if I talk about it every single day, he's going to deport more people on purpose.
So he could show I run this country, not you.
That's why we feel sometimes that is at no point or purpose of me even speaking about it.
So that made me think like, okay, maybe she has a point.
Maybe like celebrity shouldn't really be speaking out about it,
especially if like Trump or everyone knows that like you were on the other side.
Maybe it's her in particular because she knows like she does have a big voice.
And, you know, they're both New Yorkers.
So I'm sure he's very aware of who she is.
Yeah.
And so maybe she just feels like.
you know what I don't want to make it worse she doesn't want to like put more fuel in the fire
basically because there's like like it's already a big thing and she feels like because trump is that
type of president to go on to betty yeah he'll say something like that but you know what just because
this i'm gonna do this just because this i'm gonna do that it's a catch 22 i guess because he lives in he's
from that space these not for nothing and not to call her or him each other's peers but they
have that same space where everybody knows each other yeah less like clearly we know them too but
not the way that they may, like,
they may have friends in common or they may have,
it's just that in that, yeah,
but like in that Hollywood space,
which he previously was a part of,
and then, you know, a lot of times when he did
the celebrity apprentice, like, he had people,
and should that have happened right now,
party cardi would probably be a contestant
on that type of a show, but, like, all of that
is understandable.
I do think that there's a, that's a different
question about celebs chiming
in on things, and that's more
of like a people thing, more, that's more
of the audience or the people are the ones demanding that, you know? Yeah, yeah. And so it's kind of
the catch-22. You're danged if you do, danged if you don't. Yeah, it is. If she doesn't say something,
why aren't you say anything? If she does say something, shut up, Cardi, no one wants to hear from you.
True. And that's all the way around. I think just, even Longoria just spoke out. Yeah, I was going to
actually bring that up. So Eva Langoria, she actually did come out and she made a whole like three, four-minute
video talking about it. The comments and people's reactions to it is really so surprising to me.
because it is un-American.
We all can agree.
Nobody wants criminals in our country.
Nobody wants rapists.
Nobody wants drug dealers.
Nobody wants bad actors in our country.
That's not what's happening.
Those are not criminals.
I just hope that everybody has more compassion to this issue.
So she did make that statement.
But even that, it's like, okay, you guys, like the public was asking about it.
And now that she actually talked about it, now she's getting backlash because she saw people are saying like, well, look,
you're associating yourself with.
Well, you should be talking about, you should tell that to Lauren Sanchez, to Jeff Bezos,
things like that.
Oh.
To Eva.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So they're calling out her because her friends.
Who she's associated with pretty much.
Yeah.
Well, you are who your friends are sometimes.
I get it.
Yeah.
I get it.
And then we just had the homie help land where the step that is that way.
And sometimes you may have those debates.
You may all of that within friends.
Some of us have homies that are mixed political view.
all of that.
It's very hard.
It's tough.
Yeah.
I'm sure they go through those debates too,
but I won't identify, like, my homies that are doing or thinking a different way than me.
Yeah, that's their way of thinking.
That's why.
It's not like, you could change that more stop.
And there are times where it's like, it's lying in the sound.
And this time is that for everybody.
Like, hey, if you are okay with this or if you are with that rhetoric of like, this is
what I, this is why I'm voting for this guy or this is my guy.
Like, I cannot be your friend.
There are people that are driving.
Yeah, understandable, I guess, but to each their own on that tip.
Yeah, and I think what's like occurring a lot today is that like people don't change their mind enough.
It's like people are just like, nope, I'm rolling with this and that's what's going on.
You know what I'm saying?
I get you.
People are not objective.
I'll give you an example.
Like, I'm definitely still very tried my, and hope for the best when it comes to our mayor and our governor and try to see kind of where they're coming from when the fires and the
mayor wasn't here and then the stuff that are like our governor was doing and I think understanding that
I'm not blindly following yeah because it's like yeah I do I do appreciate them for their for
them being in office however during this time I've been the most vocal in here like where the hell
are they yeah what is he saying why is Gavin going on Twitter rants but it's almost like on on the other end
is what I've been seeing it's just a blind following it's just like even when they're wrong they're
right and it's like you should be able to like you should be able to call it out and I think that's the
that's something that I appreciate when we're in a democracy that you can yeah you should be able to
you should be able to say loki like yes I voted for you but this is not okay sometimes it feels
like because I voted for you I'm going to be okay with everything that you did and that's not the
way either that that is America having these leaders and then be a being able to call that out and
say we the people still believe this and this is why I'm protesting
It doesn't make you for it against.
That makes you more objective.
No, absolutely.
But then, you know, I'll kind of like, I'll even kind of call myself out.
I was at a, at the protest.
And I seen this guy who had like a big sign.
He's like, I voted for Trump, but I didn't vote for this.
And I looked at him.
I was like, nah.
I'm like, yeah.
I'm like, we shouldn't have voted for him.
But it's like, I guess we also have to welcome them back to like, okay, well,
you messed up.
So let's, you know, like, accept you.
Because it's like, all right, now, just stay over there.
You're a Trumper, so I'm not going to ever speak to you again.
You know what I'm saying?
if allow people the space to change their mind
because if they come over to our side
and they're like, oh yeah, like, you know,
I was so wrong about that.
And then we shun them, they're like, all right, forget it.
I don't know what, I don't know.
They go guys anyway.
You know what, you're right, Vick, because I didn't think of it that way.
I do see the people, like, for example,
I believe she's the organizer of Latinas for Trump over in Florida
and her being like, this is not okay.
I guess on our end, it's like, we called it even before.
Like, we could see it.
But it's that like anytime you can be like,
bro, this is where I got my moment.
clarity, it should be like, okay, now, like, okay, I forgive you.
Not necessarily forgive you, but I do like that they're publicly saying it.
So it's like, don't, don't privately be like, I shouldn't have done that or I'm sorry.
Be vocal about it.
As vocal as you were of, this guy is it, right?
And not any way she performed.
Again, whether it be, I promise you, before this, I think we were talking about Newsom and that
I understood, I guess I tried to understand where he was coming from before this specific
moment. But now I'm like, bro, what are you doing
tweeting this guy? I know.
You know? Why are you not
talking to us? Even
the thing he did last night, I still
did not feel talking to. Like,
I didn't feel spoken to. It felt personal
to Trump. Yeah, it was just like, let me get on my podium
and speak and just talk smack about. I get it. You don't like Trump.
What are we going to do here, bro? Yeah. How are we
preparing here? What do you have to say on that end? But I
guess there there's this weirdness.
where you have to be loyal, right or die no matter what, even if it's wrong.
And it's like you don't have to do that because at the same time,
standing for something like this without, it's just, it's less of a political thing
and debate thing, and it's a human thing, empathy, feelings, humans, like passion.
And facts.
It's like, remember facts?
Remember those?
I do think we should rely less on celebrities.
Understand why they have big platforms and all of that.
But also, hey, guess what?
America was made for you, this one individual with your five followers that are probably
your family, you could do something too.
Yep, that's true.
Like the time, the effort that you're making to go to different celebrities, right?
And then say, why are you saying this or you're doing this?
You literally could give that effort to doing something as well.
It's a weird way all around.
It is.
And I also don't want to hear stuff that's forced.
I don't want to hear people speak out just because they felt forced to because people were coming at them.
It feels fake. Yeah.
No.
If it's really in your heart, say something and know that you have the space to.
And you know what I was thinking?
I'm like, okay, well, Selena Gomez actually did like talk about it like earlier this.
year and she was like crying.
She's like people,
kids are getting like separated
of their families and people, even when she spoke
about that and she's like crying, they called her out on
it, calling her fake, things like that
and so that just reminded me it's like, damn if you do.
Damn if you don't.
And that's what people stay quiet.
It's internet talk too.
Yeah.
I really, really think that the internet's turned
very sour and gotten.
It's probably always been this way.
But I don't know the way the algorithm
set up, it's meant to give you
things you're against.
Like it's meant
to trigger you.
Yeah.
you log in on X, you're not going to see things that align with your opinions.
Things that don't align with what you believe in, so then you're triggered to engage.
Yeah.
And also, I guess I feel like negative comments are giving a boost in the algorithm.
Yeah.
A hundred percent, let the, I posted some content that I was at the protest, and I'm seeing all these people that don't follow me, never interact with me, ever in my life.
I have no idea where they know me from.
Like, I have a hip-hop newspaper.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And they're like, they're in the comments more than the regular.
followers of names that I recognize. It doesn't feel real. I'm like, where are these people coming from?
I literally have no idea. Yeah. I had to make my page private for that exact reason, bro, because
at some point you have to guard yourself, guard your space, guard your family. And that does mean
on social media, just like we lock our doors, we need to look at our pages like that. You're
letting them into your whole life by having a public page. And I think even with us, we're on the radio.
Yes. I understand my job is one that I'm on a public radio station. However, my life is mine too.
You should have that ownership for yourself.
So I think all of that is really important to take into account.
These are new times, like the what's social and all of that.
And I would never go against somebody that chooses their peace in this part because you are definitely needing it.
There's still life that's going on.
There's still children or family to look after you and you to look after.
There's still jobs on the line, education.
All of that needs to be protected.
Yeah.
And also don't go against the people that choose to have their own peace like that.
Yeah.
Yeah. It's weird. Like, understand why people are the way.
Oh, like, not people are talking themselves.
Totally understand.
That's weird if they actually do.
But I know they didn't to do that too.
Yeah.
Thank you, Angie.
All right, that's it for Somrasala brought to you by a local Southern California to go to dealers.
I'm Angie from Brownback Mornings on Power 106.
And you know, there's this clip I saw, speaking of social media, there's this clip that I saw that I think it is important to bring to the table when it comes to the show.
We're going to play, I guess, an interaction between farm workers and immigrants.
immigration ice agents because you know often we see ice agents and we're like them but it low-key gave me more
insight on what maybe the thought processes are of these agents that are sent out and chose the job
to enforce these types of deportations but it just felt like I don't think he wants to be there like
I wanted to share a piece of a video that I saw yesterday I want to big up at flowers in Spanish
does a lot of activism work on Instagram and has been very vocal and showing, I guess, the different
things people are going through, specifically people that have been targeted throughout these ice
rates, you know? So yesterday in Oxnard, there was a rate at a field, yeah, yeah, yeah, where
farm workers were working, and I do want to say that California is the largest agricultural producer
in the country, and a lot of this is off the backs of indigenous farm workers, you know, immigrants
that are here trying to make a living low wages.
You know, we see the videos of they're out there when it's the biggest heat waves.
Yeah.
When there's storms.
Yeah.
When there's fires.
They don't stop.
No days off.
All for us to be able to go to the grocery store and have food on our table like that.
You know, we're not out there doing any of the picking because they're definitely
out there doing it.
So my appreciation to them, not just on Thanksgiving when the memes go around, but every
day, you know what I'm saying?
Yep.
So she shared a video about an ice raid that happened yesterday in Oxnard and to paint the picture for you, which you could also log on a Brownback Mornings 106 on Instagram to check it out.
But there's an ice agent that has detained some farm workers.
The farm workers are detained.
The ice agent is around the truck talking to them.
And there's somebody else that's an ally that is their recording.
And it's trying to, I'm assuming before this video started, is telling them, hey, you have rights.
You don't have to say anything.
things of that nature.
So then the ICE agent starts to go back and forth with the ally.
Okay.
And this is what it sounded like.
Yeah, I'm watching the video.
Yeah, they know they're right.
They've been here for 30 years.
I get it.
We're doing our job.
You can do whatever you like, but please stand back.
Okay?
It's fine.
I get it.
Separated from their families.
I don't think you get it, actually.
It's my job.
I'm an immigration officer.
Are you all you a citizen?
Do you have
copies to be here?
I don't have to answer that question.
Fine.
And go leave.
You're right.
He then turns around and starts
still communicating with the people he has detained.
A couple of things when I'm watching this, right?
Is them doing their duty
but also understanding like, I don't know,
is it just me?
No.
There was some type of.
of, not debate, but some type of, like, an issue happening.
Yeah. And also being like, I'm just trying to do my job type of thing. You did choose that
specific job. I don't feel sympathy for them at all. Because that's like feeling bad that a trainer
has to lift weights. Like, you know what your job is. Yeah. Not really. You know, immigration.
You're going to have to attain people that are migrants and immigrants. That look like you, perhaps.
Yeah. If you're Latino, they're probably going to look like you. And you're going to have to take them.
and that's your job description.
It's right there.
So it's like, I don't feel bad for them now that they're getting backlash
and people are being like, I'm just doing my job.
No, you knew what your job was.
And you knew if it came to that, that's what you're going to do.
I guess less backlash, bro, because I understand like why the backlash part.
But I guess more of trying to, because we always talk at them again.
We're talking at them.
We know that they're the op.
But it's being able to see inside even their, I guess, what they're battling with.
It seems to me.
And this is just me maybe just being too emotional about it.
I mean, it's like, you know, plenty of people, you know, sign up to go to war.
Like, you know, sign up for the military.
And it's like, they know that like right now we're not in like a conflict.
So it's like, okay, hopefully escape by the four years and I don't have to go to war if that's not what you want to do.
But you also know more than likely if something happens tomorrow, boom, I'm gone.
I'm going to war.
Yeah.
So it's like I'm not going to not have sympathy for them.
but it's like you knew what it was when you signed up.
But that's what happens in the military sometimes.
You look for jobs in the military.
It's not like just one thing in the military.
There's multiple jobs.
Yeah, you can be a mechanic.
And if that has to be your job in the military,
you have that thought of like, man, like one day I'm going to have to do this.
But I hope I'm not.
I hope that I don't.
But that's my job.
And it's like I didn't come into the military for this.
But they still do it.
I get both of your points.
And I understand.
But I will be honest when I'm seeing the National Guard and I'm seeing
like what it is it the Marines now even the police officers that again have our last names on their
helmets and on yeah and understanding i'm like i'm sure they have to even battle what something
within inside yeah and i guess this to me was an insight on him going back and forth with the ally and
understand and even i guess even the uh we always get told you have rights use this card and all of that
seeing it in motion yeah and seeing that they're like well you're right like you know seeing it
actually being expressed hey i'm asking you as an ice agent no i'm not going to
I'm not going to answer.
You're right.
Okay, then we'll carry on.
I feel like that's the first time.
But it's like even seeing that in play was very new for me.
Me too.
And I did appreciate, I guess the inside and all.
I get exactly where you're coming from, bro.
And maybe again, I'm like, oh, man.
No, don't feel bad for them.
I understand the police officers more.
I do too.
I've seen that video too.
The girl, like, she's having to like push people back, but she's like,
you can see that she has like stuff.
It's hurting her.
It's hurting her.
Well, she's doing that because it's like, that's the people.
same situation.
That's, she's doing something that she knew that one day she could happen.
Yeah.
Not with like immigrants necessarily or like your own people.
It's just like you're just, in general, you're just a cop.
You know what I'm saying?
It's like you didn't sign up for a specific sector of people.
Yeah.
And this, you know what I'm saying?
Now, after seeing this, you might be like, oh, I might have to do that one day.
But, you know, prior to this, there hasn't been too many things like this.
Yeah.
All right.
Thank you guys.
Thank you for that combo.
Keep it here.
