We got concrete's weather.

What is up, Perritos?
There's a lot of traffic out there.
And it's tough right now.
It's a tough morning.
Yes, it is.
Traffic and weather together with concrete storms.
Just stay calm, everybody.
Stay calm.
First, we're out to the city of Compton.
Why, I know a Tia, that looks like El Sharpton.
Your high today will be 89 degrees.
Next, we slack to the city of Diamond Bar, where today I highly recommend you have AC in your car.
Your high will be 94 degrees.
Off we go to the city of Sherman Oaks, where if you're a thousander, you're technically broke.
Your high will be 92 degrees.
And lastly, we hit the city of Weho, where girls like girls and guys like Pino Grigio.
Pino Grisio.
Yeah.
That's a good drink.
That's a good drink.
Checking about West Hollywood.
The Chateau Marmont,
famous hotel,
lots of legends.
John Belushi died in bungal number three in 1982,
which is said to be haunted
and guests and staff report voices,
strange noises,
feeling watched in strange behavior in certain rooms.
I don't mind being watched.
Yo, taking it back.
City of Compton, City of Compton,
89, Diamond Bar 94, Sherman Oaks.
She'll be 92.
And Weehoe.
You'll be 93.
Let's go.
Shathele my mom, stay out of there.
Your boy, concrete.
Brown back mornings.
Power 106.
Let's go.
And so he'll be back tomorrow, too, with the weather.
Every morning at 640.
That's 640.
Okay, let's get into money moves.
I make money moves.
All right.
Yeah, I told you.
It's going to be either beef or rent soon.
When it comes to the rising cost of groceries,
a few items have increased more over the past year.
one of them being beef.
It's now more expensive than ever in the U.S.
than ever in the history.
Granted, things used to cost like a penny.
Yeah, inflation.
Anyone ever see a little house on the prairie?
No.
Nobody?
It was like daytime.
It was on TPS.
Yeah, all of that.
Yeah.
Two little girls, cool little dresses, but they would go to the store.
And for like two pennies, they could stock up on candy.
And I used to be like, why didn't that?
Why can I have that?
And that was in the 90s.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
They weren't in the 90s.
90s when I watched it.
Yeah.
Anyway, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the price of stakes is up 16.6 compared to last year alone.
What?
How much to say?
16.6%?
Yeah.
So like 1.5th?
Yeah.
So like whatever, if it cost $15 last year a pound, it'll probably cost, I don't know.
150 times 6.
Oh, my.
Oh, yeah.
1.50.
Sorry.
8 to $30.
Yeah.
So think twice when you go take those girls to mass girls, bro, because I know you'd be like,
like.
going to do that. I just want a fogo to chow for the time. Oh, that's meat on meat. That's what I'm saying.
Meat on a stick. Don't wonder why it was like a hundred and something dollars just for one blade.
Oh, bro. You need to go during lunchtime. And if you take a kid, they eat free. So you're technically just eating for like two or three people.
Oh, because you take the kids. Yeah. At fogo? Huh? A fogo. Yeah. See, a little little right here.
40 bucks. 40 bucks be three people.
Hey, I'm, but they have to be five and under or something. Okay. This is a big five-year-old.
I don't know why the cost of meat is rising is like, are there less cows?
I don't think so.
You know what I'm saying?
No, it's all farming.
No, it's all the transportation and all that.
So they come from Canada.
A lot of our meat and stuff like that, it comes from Canada and tariffs and all of that.
I thought it was USDA.
We had the, we're eating Canadian cows?
No, we might.
A lot of, like, poultry and beef and all of that, it's imported.
We would love for AIDS to be more American.
farmers. Hence probably why it's like, hey,
use American stuff and stuff like that. But rather if it's not.
You're right. We do beef with Canadians. Our cows are saying,
Crotie. Crody. Don't eat me, fam.
And then we eat them.
Don't get those. Don't call me on that. But I saw like a graphic that said like when the
tariffs were happening. Yeah. What the, what that means for us and a lot of like the
herds and stuff? I don't know. Farming animals.
Oh yeah. From Canada.
I can't believe we eat Canadian cows.
Me too.
I thought it was like happy cows.
Charging more because of transportation
because it costs more to transport things.
That's what Marty said because he's in the trucking business.
Oh, thanks Marty.
I don't know when you said that.
Hey, what are they called Canadian bacon?
Canadian is ham.
We should all stop eating so much Canadian stuff.
Why?
Because it's making us soft.
Well, turns it's beef.
That's exactly what Trump said before he did the tariffs.
Don't milk me fom.
What are you doing, Fama?
All right, let's keep it going. Let's keep it going.
Shout out to our iPad Bunny.
You know his residency over there in Puerto Rico is killing it.
So much so.
Like, this guy is making bank.
He's made $713 million for Puerto Rico.
That's the economic impact on Puerto Rico, his residency.
And that's, I guess, his main point.
This is why I wanted to do it.
Yeah.
I wanted to make sure that the economy here grew.
You guys came to see.
see me and all of that good stuff.
But speaking of going to see him, even if
you didn't travel to go see Bad Bunny,
you can see him.
How?
Because in Amazon Prime.
Amazon Prime.
Yeah, they're going to live stream
his last concert.
That's tight.
That's cool.
Watch party, watch party.
Yeah, he added a show, and then
that show is going to be live streamed.
I believe also on Twitch.
There's three platforms he's
putting the show on. Oh, he's partnering with?
Yeah.
Oh, man.
So that, I felt so much
FOMO watching everybody travel and like that
You guys can take days off like that? It's crazy.
It's not too late.
It's not too late.
To take those trips?
To go to Puerto Rico.
No, it's too deep, really.
I got a job.
I'm not vague.
No, it's not too late.
I believe in you.
I have a job too.
Yeah, you just like taking vacations.
I thought it was Labor Day.
Well, if both of you are going to be here, then I'll go.
I will go on behalf of the team to Puerto Rico.
No, I'll catch it on the stream.
I'll catch it on the stream.
I'll catch it on the stream because they had to pay hell of hell of money for the
for the meat now.
All right.
So we up,
we up.
That was money moves.
It's Hispanic Heritage Month,
the second day of it.
And we're giving a full,
their flowers.
Who are giving a full flowers to today?
Vic.
We are giving flowers to Jose Antonio Dominguez Bandera,
a.k.a.
Antonio Banderas.
Hey.
Okay, look, he is actually not Mexican.
Something I discovered very recently.
He's from Spain, but he still qualifies for being a Hispanic.
He's done more than 10 movies with Salma Hayek, but they've never dated.
He starred in Spy Kids, Shrek, Zoro, Desperato, once upon a time in Mexico.
He's also played Pancho Villa in a movie, and he is also the iconic Puss in Boots.
Now ye auger, pray for mercy from him.
Puzz
A bullet
Oh, I'll kill that cat
Ha ha!
Yeah, he's been nominated
for 120 acting awards
Including an Oscar
He's won 32 awards
And he was a soccer player
Till his dreams were shattered
When he broke his foot at 14
Dang
He didn't recover?
He did not recover
He recovered as an actor
Horrible
Yeah, he's been in a relationship
With German model
Nicole Kimple since 2015
And his former stepdaughter
is Dakota Johnson who starred in 50 Shades of Gray.
Wow.
That's tight.
Wow.
He's amazing.
Yeah.
Shout out,
shout out Antonio Banderas.
Yes.
Yeah, for being all the Tias, like Man Crush Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
Yeah.
All throughout the 90s.
And he did that many movies with Salma.
I could have swore they should have been a couple.
Like in my brain, they were a thing.
I was thinking that's his biggest accomplishment.
What?
And maybe not accomplishment.
What?
That being able to control himself around that many movies or on some.
Salma?
Yeah.
Yeah, they've done over 10, like 12, 13.
Wow.
And they have like a long lasting friendship.
I Googled it like 15 times in different ways.
Have they ever dated?
Rumors.
Were they ever together?
Have they ever slept together?
Everything just says no.
They've just always been good friends.
Wow.
That's good for him.
My dad's like obsessed with him for some reason.
Look at him.
Well, he like, he's like, he's one of the greatest actors of all time.
He's great.
He is.
And I'm like, oh, all right.
He's great.
He deserves to be honored.
And I know that you said like he's one of us.
He's Hispanic.
Yes.
I just thought he was Mexican.
Oh, I get you,
this whole time I thought he was Mexican brother.
Yes, the mask of Zoro was eight.
Wait, really?
He's not based in Mexico?
No, it's in Spain.
Zoro?
With Catherine Seta Jones.
The Zee?
Yeah, I don't know how he was,
he was doing the thing with the little,
the little pointy thing.
What are they called?
Angarde.
Yeah.
I think they do, engaard in Mexico.
The rich people do.
Puss and boots isn't Mexican?
No.
Just the same thing.
Puss and boots.
He's a Spaniard too.
Yeah, because it's based off of Zoro.
Yeah, and it's not based in Mexico.
No.
No.
No.
Okay.
I think that's a us problem versus a him problem.
It's not like he was appropriating.
He was playing Spanish people.
Well, Mariachi, he was.
I mean, he's playing Mexican.
But he does such a great job.
He was convinced.
Oh, really good.
Of course.
And he had a great ponytail.
He did.
You did his ponytail concrete?
It's great.
Yeah, right.
You were convinced.
Where are you at?
I'm convinced.
Convinced for what?
He's Mexican.
He's an honorary fool
100%.
Big up tall guy, Antonio Vanderas, man.
You deserve your flowers on Hispanic
Charitish month.
Get all the love, bro.
Get all the love to Antonio Banderas.
Go watch at Antonio Banderas film today, okay?
All right, let's get into
Simp or Pimp or Pimp.
Sip, Sip, Sip, Sip, Sip, Sip.
Oh, today's nominee
is Taylor Swim.
Yeah.
Yes.
After taking over the media and a recent beautiful proposal to Taylor Swift,
Travis Kels was asked about the proposal and how he felt.
The palms were definitely sweating.
Really?
I was definitely, I'm an emotional guys.
Are you? M&M?
Not palmer sweaty.
Mal spaghetti before I proposed to Taylor.
The palms were definitely sweating.
Really?
I was definitely, I'm an emotional guy, so there were a few tears here and there.
but it's been an exciting ride up to this day
and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him.
He's in love.
He cried when he proposed.
Yeah, so beautiful.
Until recently, I think life has taken a turn.
What do you mean?
So the Kansas City Chiefs are 0 and 2.
They've been struggling on the field.
Load up.
But also, his ex, Kayla Nicole, was recently caught on stage
with the legend.
Chris Brown.
She went on,
she went to a Chris Brown concert.
So this is the fans going crazy,
seeing her come out.
Oh, okay.
She walks.
It's like her homegirl or something.
Yeah.
Or is it one fan went crazy.
So Chris Brown has a little
moment on stage where he has this couch
and he has a people,
girls lay on it.
And Kayla Nicole came out on stage,
laid on the couch,
and her and Chris Brown got freaky to this song.
Freaky.
Oh.
Oh, she did great.
They both did great.
Yeah, it was a performance.
Yeah.
I was there.
And she went up there with confidence, walking around the couch.
Like, she's ready.
I was like, Dale.
I thought she was a dancer.
I thought she was, like, one of the stage dancers.
That's how confident she was.
I was like, geez.
Okay, so what does this have to do with Travis Gales?
I know it hurt.
I know he was crying.
No.
We can't do that.
He has Taylor Swift.
She can't do those moves.
Yeah, I was about to say she can't do those moves.
Respectfully.
What moves is what she doing?
I've seen her dance on stage.
She had her ankles by her ears.
That was crazy.
I'm sure Charles Calais already did that to her.
Exactly.
But now Chris Breezy is doing that, which is crazy.
Yes.
Oh, okay.
It's going to bring them, you know, memories or, you know, little flashbacks.
Little flashbacks.
He's going to just start like, ah.
Let him try to ruin a happy home.
Let that fool get married to Taylor Sond.
He is.
He doesn't have a choice now.
No, what he should do is catch a ball.
How about that?
He hasn't done that.
I guess.
Chiefs fans, how are you guys feeling?
Well, he was also with her and they won a Super Bowl, no?
With her?
Taylor.
Yeah.
They wanted two more.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, she could.
We can't put it off.
I mean, yeah, he is struggling a little bit this season.
But yeah, he could definitely take some points from his ex in catching these balls.
She seems a little better at it than he does now.
Yikes.
Wow.
Oh.
Yes.
But Travis can.
else.
El's all around dropping balls on the field.
This is bad.
Okay.
This is bad.
It's Sim, that he cried.
It's Simp.
Yeah, it's Simper him.
Simper him.
He's probably crying.
Okay, hold on.
He didn't cry because this happened on Kayla.
He cried at the proposal.
Yeah, with Taylor.
Just so we're clear.
Yeah, but we think he cried.
Okay.
It's Simp that he is engaged and he's not doing great on the team.
Meanwhile, his ex is on stage with Chris.
Living like that.
Yes.
Living it up.
I don't know.
I don't agree with that.
I don't agree with that.
What?
What?
That he's simping just because his ex is like, you know, outside like that?
Yeah, he doesn't control that.
He let her go.
I'm not saying that.
You're not saying that.
No, I'm not saying you are.
You don't think he's looking at his phone and seeing this?
I mean, he sees it, yeah.
And you think he's just like, oh, that's cool.
He's going to be a billionaire.
He doesn't care.
If I saw my ex on stage at the Chris Brown concert, I'm crashing out.
Okay.
But if you were, but if you were.
But if you were a pending billionaire.
Yeah, if you already leveled up.
I'm still crashing out.
Really?
No, you're not.
She never did that with me.
That's literally going to say that.
You get with, you get with Paloma Mommy.
Right?
Hey.
You're literally married.
All right.
You get a Paloma Mommy, your ex Cafacito girl is on stage with Chris Brown.
You're going to trip out?
No, I'm actually that.
You're not.
That's exactly it.
Hold on, hold on.
You're comparing.
I'm comparing a level of mom.
Let's be realistic
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's what I don't know.
I don't know what they mean.
The comparison.
Yeah, the comparison.
I'm just trying to make it relatable to great.
Yeah, we're comparing Greg C to Travis Kells.
It's okay to compare my Loma Mami to freaking Tandy Smith.
It's a great hypothetical.
100%.
Yeah, I'm like that's what I'm saying.
That's my point.
That's my point.
I get it now.
I get it now.
And plus, so yeah, let's say in that equation,
Palo Mami, plus you're about to be a billionaire.
You don't care what anybody's doing.
DJing, but you just
You keep sucking, though
All your mashups
Are your matchups blow
Boom
At that point
Nothing matters
You're already won
Matchups are falling apart
Oh
But I have Paloma Mommy
Right

You're in love
You're gonna be a millionaire
You're still caring
About whatever the hell
Your ex does not
You shouldn't
Yeah you should
She could head off
To the moon
For all I care
I love you though
And then it's like
It's like one night on stage with Chris Brown
That was in another city
Doing another girl on stage
It's a full night
I swear I think it was like a 24 hour
Because then he can't do the $1,000 meeting
greets if he has the full night
With Caleb
He has like 30 minutes somewhere
Yeah
All right
Tim Pim
Well who's the Sim
Cill?
Cill Kevin
He's a super
He's just he's just sucking on the field
I don't yeah
It's because this full sucks
He was crying like a baby
At his proposal
So he's sucking on the field.
And his ex-is-o-do-win.
You guys, what is the side?
What do you think?

I say sim.
It's not pimped at all.
That's sim.

I'm a little wittier and Gerhardt.
You don't want to hear that.

Yes.
It's going to sound like a car's about a crash.
16 packs of cigarettes.
Happened on the five.
Sounds like my brakes right now.
It's okay.
You just need to.
Some water.
You need WD 40, homie.
Okay.
So.
Yeah, I do a little son.
Very proud.
Khan.
Khan.
Is everything okay?
Sad clown?
Sad clown.
He's all right.
You remember the sadness in his heart.
It's really early.
He's really early.
All right.
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've got.
Got you forward.
The homie help line.
Adrana needs our help.
Adrana sent us a DM and said,
Brownbag,
Ayudan me, por favor.
I'm literally falling apart right now
after what I heard my Tia say.
All right.
Backstory.
We're a super close family.
My Tia and my mom
have always done everything together.
They came here together
from El Salvador after the Civil War
and only had each other.
I don't know life without my Tia
and my prima,
who's more like my sister,
to be honest. Well, what I overheard this weekend could change all that forever. I was at my
Tia's house after work. She had the door unlocked, so I went in. She was in the room. I called for her,
but she was yelling on the phone. She was fighting with someone back in El Salvador.
Anyways, she starts going in on the phone, that she's tired of it, she's tired of keeping this all in,
and is not going to keep my mom's secret anymore. She's tired of being the good sister, and I'm
my 21st birthday, which is in two weeks, she's going to tell me that I'm not my mom's, that I'm hers.
What?
Brown bag.
My world shattered.
I don't know who or what is happening.
I don't know the details.
I'm just confused.
I'm crying as I'm writing this.
What should I do?
So she's finding out she's adopted.
No.
Not adopted.
Well, kind of like black market adopted.
Sorry, I don't mean to make funny.
this because someone else has gotten black market adopted on this.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Oh yeah, I remember that.
Yes.
So maybe.
The responsibility at the time?
Yeah.
Like, it's too much.
Maybe the mom can't have kids.
She's too nervous to call.
Which I get.
We have to ask your questions about this.
I mean, to me it's, I mean, my best guess would be like, the mom couldn't have kids,
but the Tia could.
You know what I'm saying?
My best guess, I don't know.
I don't know.
We're all specular market child.
My best guess is like maybe this one.
Mm-hmm.
Like the Tia, the Tia mom.
Yeah.
Oh my gosh.
The Tia mom had her maybe was going through something.
So the mom Tia took over.
Maybe.
And then the mom Tia was like, I'm just going to keep her.
Or I don't know.
Kids are expensive.
You take one.
I take one.
You know what?
You can't do that with kids.
But they're siblings.
I used to have a neighbor who she thought that her.
her grandma was her mom.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
And then her mom came.
And then like, they didn't, I don't know if they ever told her,
but when she was little, she legit thought grandma was mom.
And like she just, but my mom used to, I used to hear over here,
my mom talking to people like, oh, that's not the actual mom.
That's her grandma.
Telling everybody in the room, hey, no, it's not her mom.
Oh, gosh.
Gossiping.
Yeah.
No, that's crazy.
That's crazy.
And I guess you would have to talk.
to mom, no?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Which?
Mom Tia, Tia, Mom?
Oh, man.
It's tough because it's like just like knowing your Tia and then just be like, oh, my Tia, she's so crazy.
Like, you know, but my mom, this and my mom that.
And then it's just like, wait, it's flipped.
Right.
My Tia's my mom and my mom is my Tia.
Why would she call it her Tia secret or her mom's secret and not her Tia's secret of the Tia's a mom?
Is this where the term Mama Mia came from?
Mamma Mia.
What I do know, especially with.
like the civil war.
Like, for example,
and not to make it about me,
but my mom is Salvadorian,
and my Aweilita came first.
My Aolita came first with my Tia,
and then my mom came later,
and I'm not too sure why,
but it all gets jumbled like that.
And I hear a lot of stories,
like my homie Jonathan was telling me
about a story of like,
I don't know, like the families kind of come in pieces.
I don't know if that is part of this.
For sure.
But it's just a very,
weird dynamic of coming from
El Salvador first specifically
over the Civil War that happened
and it was really bloody over there
and it was them seeking asylum
here in the States and so I know
that it could get tricky there
Yeah and sometimes people send off their kids
with other relatives
in hopes for them to have a better life
and not have to live that in like
also for example a civil war
Yeah she needs to find she needs to find out what the
story is how they got here
Yeah because it could be that she sent you
over and then you just she just kept you yeah raised me oh the crazy part is though like
getting half the story and then having a wonder about the rest like yeah come into us trying to figure
it out i don't know what to do the part that she's in right now is like the purgatory because it's
like okay if you get the full story okay now you can start to make sense of it it's just like oh yeah
by the way your tia's not your mom what else what else like and then they just change the subject
whatever she's overhearing right like she she couldn't hear the context or whatever else
Hold on, hold on, I'm doing some math.
Because the Civil War didn't happen
21 years ago, it was like more than that.
Yeah.
So they were already here.
Yeah, I think that was just like, they happened here.
Yeah, they're just like back in the, you know, we've been to civil war together.
There's a lot of things going on.
Like, that's what they're going to raise my baby?
No, but I'm saying like that's giving context to like how much they've been through together.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Okay.
So like the original mom's probably like talking smack then.
The original mom.
And maybe she wanted her to, because they said they made the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
effort to keep them close.
She says her prima's like her sister.
That means her Tio's her dad.
That means her cousin is her sister.
Her cousin is her sister.
And also...
She's more like my sister.
Well...
What was for you?
She actually is.
And I wonder what is causing the Tia
or A.k.a. mom to
finally want that information out.
She's probably been wanting, you know?
Is she seeing like the
sister not dealing with her
daughter like a certain way that she wants
to deal with it?
We have to ask you like what the dynamic.
are. I need to know what the dynamics are with your
Tia mom's mom's sister and mom-thia.
The mom-tia must be like
Pissing off Tia mom.
Mamma-mia. She's like, honestly, one more thing,
and I'm telling her all her secrets. I'm telling daughter
niece that she's
I'm sorry, Jenna. I don't mean to laugh at you.
I'm with you. It's just a lot. It's a lot. We all go through it.
And I'm telling you right now, I guess the thing I would want to tell you is you're not
alone. All of us have these family secrets that we hear and we're like,
what?
Yeah.
It's like the sky all of a sudden isn't the same color you thought it was.
Yeah.
You know, up is down and down is up.
And those moments happen.
You being about to be 21 year old, 21 years old, that's super.
I know it's affecting it.
Yeah, I know we've all like gone through it where we found out our cousin's not actually a cousin.
It's just like our family friend that we've known forever.
Wait, I'm not related to you.
It's like, no, not at all.
Like this weekend when I found out Canello's not my cousin.
That's my grandma straight up.
I'm like, is he our cousin?
No.
Heart shatter.
Are you?
Heart shattered.
Okay.
You know?
All of Canelo's brothers and family members look exactly like.
I know.
And I thought maybe we could be like seven cousins or something, but my grandma shut that down.
The good news for Adriana is she has a sister.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And two moms.
Hey, Jenna, I'm not laughing at you.
We need to help you.
We need to help you, Adriana.
All right.
She overheard and found out that her Tia is her mom and her mom is her Tia.
And now her world is shattered.
and she doesn't know what the hell to do.
Yeah, and the story seems like we're catching it right,
right when the earthquake hit.
She's spiraling.
She's shook right now.
She said that she walked into her Tia's place after,
and she heard her Tia kind of yelling.
She's like, hey, Tia, I'm here.
Heard her Tia yelling on the phone.
And when she kind of went in to listen,
her Tia was saying something about like she's tired of it.
She's tired of holding this secret.
Like when Adriana turns 21, which is in a couple weeks, she's going to tell her.
I'm like, your mom's not your mom.
I'm your mom.
She says that.
And then like, her, everything is just going crazy for her right now.
She stepped out of there and she does not know what to do.
We've been asking her questions because you're trying to figure out what this all means for her.
Like with the details, it's vague because it's vague for her.
And she responded to us too.
Yeah.
So she said, I feel really scared answering questions.
But yes, my Tia is more the stay at home for us.
since my Tia works, both me and my Prima are in college, but still go over my Tias for lunch
and anything we need to in classes.
She said, I don't want to downplay my mom, though.
She is a single mom and is always working a lot.
And the only thing I can think of that was weird growing up is I used to be called by a name
that isn't my name when I was little.
What?
And when I started school, it switched again.
Also, my Tia gets mad a lot, so hearing her yell isn't new.
I thought when I walked in and heard her talking about my birthday.
it's that she's frustrated to be helping to organize everything and my mom being gone for work.
But then she dropped that she's my actual mom.
I don't know what's happening.
I don't think I want to know.
So, Salvi's just talk loud in general.
True.
You know.
You know that.
I don't want to give into the stereotype, but like it's too conformational in my life to be true.
Like, I don't want to be like, hey, you're enforcing a stereotype.
type of man, we're loud and we get angry.
Yeah.
But I feel like everyone gets loud and angry.
I feel like I don't know what makes sense this part.
Yeah, no, I think it's like a Hispanic thing.
Special kind of cursive.
Y'all yell and speak incursive.
Really loud.
There's also a little more fear.
All caps.
All caps and cursive.
Yeah. A little more fear with our anger.
Yeah.
Scary.
I'm half of both.
And when I turn up, what is like, that's yourself.
I'm like, what do you mean?
Why can it be my,
Pueblo no, Juano Juano Hato side too?
Like, why can it be?
That's more personal.
Like she would never do this to us.
In my, that side of me?
Oh, gosh.
Oh, gosh.
All right.
Let's go to the phone lines, though, to try to figure all of this out.
We did put feelers out there and say, you know what?
She really needs to help right now.
If you've gone through it too, I know it's a lot to speak on, but I think that's who can give her the best advice.
True.
We got Freddie on the line.
Freddie from East L.A.
What's up, Freddie?
Freddie.
Freddie.
Hello.
What's up, Fred?
Hey, how's the guy?
How's the going, brown bag?
It's going.
What up, Freddie?
Freddie, our guy, our girl, Adriana, hit us up, and she's tripping out, having maybe found out a family secret and involves her that her mom's not really her mom.
Her Tia's her mom.
Her mom's her Tia.
And she's just tripping out.
She's 20 years old.
She doesn't know how to handle this.
Freddie, what would you tell her?
I mean, I really experienced it.
I went through the same situation.
What?
Yeah.
It's a total different.
So mine was, I found out when I was 18, I was moving out of my house and I had my mom,
hey, I need to talk to you.
We need to talk to you.
So that's when they told me, hey, I'm letting you know that I'm not your mom.
What?
Your mom, yeah.
So I was like, wait, what?
She's like, no, I'm not your real mom.
I'm your grandma.
Who's your real mom is my sister, who I thought, who was my oldest sister.
Please my house.
Oh my God.
Why do people...
Why would they say that way?
Why do they wait?
How did that make you feel?
How were you in that moment?
I was upset because they waited until I moved out of the house.
That's what I'm saying.
Take this with you as you go.
Well, I guess you know what?
Maybe they're thinking about it this whole time.
They're thinking about it all your life.
But maybe they're like, oh, they're too young to find out.
It is.
This might mess you up if I told you when you were eight or ten.
Let me wait until you're an adult.
Let me mess you up as an adult.
Yeah.
You're going to understand it more.
But then you just think I had my old childhood thinking I was somebody else's.
Yeah.
Do you remember?
In those moments, are you thinking about like, dang, I used to fight with my sister.
I was really fighting with my mom.
Like, how was.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yeah, because as a younger brother with your sister, you have this relationship
when you eventually, you curse each other and you got each other names and you fight.
So then I'm like, oh, my gosh, it was my mom the whole time.
And I was feeling the bad.
You were treating her back?
Wow, buddy.
I wonder how she kept up with it.
Like, she probably like flicked you too on your ear,
like treated you like a little brother too.
Like, he's your kid.
You're my kid.
Yeah, yeah.
And then later on, I mean, the best advice I could give her is for her to ask questions
because I asked later on, you know, with my real mom,
I got a relationship with them.
I asked her, what happened?
What happened with this?
Yeah.
She was like, I was 16.
I was 16 when I had you, I couldn't do it.
So I gave it to my mom.
So, you know, she's my grandma.
And that's how basically everything went.
I was like, wow.
So now do you call her mom or do you still call your grandma mom?
That's funny because I still can't call it like mom.
I still call it by her name.
Oh, my God.
No, I get it.
Because it's a weird thing.
Yeah, that's your sister.
In your mind, mom, you say the word mom and then your mom pops up.
Yeah.
That's 18 years of.
Yeah, it's programmed.
And I even want to.
And even when I talk to her, I call my grandma mom.
I go, oh, hey, I was at my mom's house.
And I'm basically talking about my grandma.
Yeah.
Oh, my gosh, Freddie.
So for like Mother's Day, do you get your mom flowers or just your grandma, mom?
I mean, now I get my mom, you know, flowers.
My grandma, she passed away.
She passed away on 2020.
So I have my mom now, you know.
Yeah.
I get her flowers.
Oh, great.
My heart.
Has your mom, has she had other kids?
Like, do you have siblings?
Yes.
That maybe you thought you were your cousins?
It's funny because I thought I was the smallest one and my, you know, other family that was my family.
It was, I have four brothers, no, three brothers and two sisters.
So then I was the smallest one.
But then later on when I found out about the situation, I'm the oldest one.
and I have three younger, two sisters and two brothers.
I get it.
No, I get it.
Because if his grandma was his mom, he's looking at his, like, so in that, those siblings.
He's meaning his aunts and his uncles.
He thought I'm just the youngest one, but then come to find out I'm actually the oldest one.
And you have three others?
Yeah, I have two sisters and two brothers.
That you thought were your cousins?
Yes, they thought they were my cousins or nephews.
And there you're
Oh yeah
Because that's a sister
Yeah
Oh
Oh my God
Freddy
I never had
Secrets like this
I never had
I never had cousins
And I would always
Like man
I wonder
You know
When would I be able
To have cousins
And
turned out later on
All my nephews
Are my cousins
What?
No
You're yet
Oh my god
My head hurts
Hold on
She's living like
Two lives
Shut out you
Thank you for
Chinese
And thank you for
helping her like ask the questions you for sure got to ask the question uh let's go to saraii and hotthorn what's
so saraii sarai our girl adriana needs our help she recently overheard her tia kind of like just being
loud on the phone and she goes over to check and she kind of is like figure like what is she saying
over there uh and her tia was telling someone back in el salvador that she's ready to tell the truth that
she, that Adriana, the one that's eavesdropping is actually her kid.
And now Adriana's like, what's going on?
Because this is my Tia.
This is not my mom.
And my mom's working right now.
And I don't know what or who or how.
And she's kind of lost in this moment of what should I do.
What would you tell her, Saraii?
To be honest, I'm going to be, it happened to me as well.
I was, I found out a week before I turned 15.
you know, they asked me who are your parents, and I'm sitting in front of my parents like,
they're my parents, you know, well, no, we have something to tell you.
You're adopted.
So on my, I guess my advice would be get the, thankfully she's within family.
That's one.
That's already a plus.
She's within family.
She's not with outsiders.
my advice would be get both sides of the story because and at the same time because one you're going to hear one story then another story it's going to
yeah the person telling it yeah to this day like i still haven't been able to i don't have the courage to ask questions
i ask here and there yeah but i still don't have the courage to ask and to be honest parent is the one that
raises you that's your parent that's it
And, you know, yeah, now you know, and it's going to be so hard for her, but that would be my advice.
Sit with both of them and get both of the same story.
You know, one is going to say whatever benefits the other.
So, yeah, that's my only advice.
I'm really nervous.
It's okay.
Don't worry.
Don't worry, it's a lot.
It's really hard, yeah.
Especially finding out at 15, I'm wondering, like, I have a couple questions to ask you.
Number one, it's crazy that they pop quized you before they told you the truth.
Like, y'all know you're not my parents.
Why are you asking me who's my parents are?
Yep, yep.
They pop quiz.
And they were my pastor, too.
Yeah, it was my pastor.
Oh, they confessed in front of the pastor?
Oh, my God.
Oh, they got that phone ball too.
Yeah, because for your Gita, you have to go to the church.
Oh, yeah.
That's a novel.
And then to make him worse, he announced it on the day of my 15.
Oh, my God.
On the day.
Like, oh, she just went through something.
it was the worst thing ever
because then everybody's just so bad
why are we like that
as people
trauma
so you have that like recorded in video
because like they record
your kinsueena
yeah I'm pretty sure
wow
that's about a ball
of surprise
that's awesome
oh okay
you heard it
you know I've passed that
you know I learned to
forgive because obviously I like I said I don't know who the person is I don't know who my real
mom is I don't know who my real dad is but you know it's like just knowing that they're there
they're somewhere in Mexico I know for sure but I never have the curse to actually ask you know
Sarai you learned at 15 that your parents weren't your parents right now we have
Adriana learning about to be 21 that her mom may not be her mom and might actually be her
Do you think they should have waited to tell you till later on?
I probably wish I would have never found out.
It would have been better.
I was going to say that sometimes it's better not to even know.
Yeah.
But once you would have been better, I feel like it would have been better.
No, but the problem is with that is like if you ever, if you ever do like one of those tests, like a 23 and me or like your ancestry.
Finding out that way can also be a difficult thing.
Salih, have you thought about doing that?
I have and you know what's funny I currently I'm currently going through like a treatment for my kidneys because I have a kid condition and that's the only sexy part about it because now I know it's the genetic disease and now it's like I have kids so now I have to like I literally as soon as I found that I went to go test them because that means I can just pass it down to them so I sat about it but I don't think I don't think nothing will come up oh you want to find out of medical I don't want to take it I don't want to take it I don't want to take it I don't want to
want to think. Well, just know that it does happen.
Like, people, there's stories of people doing the ancestry and maybe they find a sibling
or a cousin that's related, you know, not necessarily finding, like, the parents, right?
But you can find, like, uh, like family.
But yeah, that's up to you. That's for sure up to you.
Thank you so much for calling inside.
Thank you.
My love to you. I know that you were nervous and that's a, that's a big, uh, big insight into
your family to tell us. I appreciate it.
Yeah. I just tell her, you know, she has to learn to forget to it because she's going to be so
angry.
Yeah.
He's going to be really angry.
Finding out whatever the story is, you know.
Whatever the story is.
I, uh, no, it's, it's real life.
That past year, too.
That was the past.
But why surprise?
Herb?
Who we thought were herb?
That's crazy.
The real parents were, our, our little homegrown adriana,
turned 21 years old in a couple weeks,
recently walked in on her Tia or who she thought was her Tia,
kind of yelling on the phone,
uh, and explaining to somebody back in El Salvador.
that she's just sick of it.
She's tired of it.
She's ready to tell, Adriana,
that her mom, who's the, like,
the sister of the Tia that was in the room,
her mom is not really her mom.
The Tia is her mom.
And then she just kind of backed away slowly,
like Homer Simpson in the bush.
And has been spiraling ever since,
and she needs our help figuring it out.
She did mention that when she was little,
used to call her another name.
That's not her name until she went to school.
That happens a lot.
Your name changes a lot.
Yeah.
Not the middle name.
Just another name.
Okay, so I'll tell you,
like, with my cousin.
He just had a baby, right?
Wait.
No, listen.
No.
He just had a boy, right?
For the longest time, we called him Bruno.
I thought his name was Bruno.
Come to find out the little boy's name is Dominic.
The little boy's boy?
How do you know his name?
And now that I know, I still call him Little Bruno and like, Brito.
Why is that his name?
It's weird.
It's weird.
So it happens.
It's just like maybe they just overheard things.
It's like, oh, that's what his name is.
no one really asked and then that was the name.
Yeah, no, when her mom, when his mom was telling him like, oh, yeah, Bruno, I'm like, who's Bruno?
And she's like, oh, no, she's like, who's Dominic?
I'm like, who's Dominic?
And she's like, that's his real name.
Well, why did they call him Bruno?
Oh, because this big sister wanted to name him Bruno.
And it just stuck.
So it just was like his nickname.
I don't know.
So we think.
Or maybe that's not really.
We're not even supposed to talk about Bruno.
That's crazy.
That part.
It is.
All right, let's go to Cassandra in Anaheim.
Cassandra, we are trying to help out our baby girl, Adriana,
who just got, like, the reveal of a lifetime in her own family,
finding out that her Tia may be her mom,
and her mom may actually be her Tia.
Doesn't know the details just overheard her Tia kind of saying,
and her 21st birthday, I'm going to just tell her, like,
I'm sick of this, I'm sick of holding this secret.
She's got to know.
And we're trying to help her figure out how to maneuver that,
because that's a shock, you know?
Let's go to Cassandra.
Cassandra in Anaheim. What's up Cassandra?
Cassandra.
Good morning, Brownback. How are you guys? Good. How are you?
Good, good. So first, like, initially, I just had some time to think over this.
Like, her aunt knew she was in the house and she was talking that loud. That's kind of like
you're talking that loud about something that you don't want to take accountability for
and kind of push it off for her to overhear you. Something like that, I feel like her talking
that loud with her in the house
that was like a way
for her to kind of let her find out
she's just selfie that's it that's how love they taught
no that's how they talk
uncontrollable
when everybody's like why is letty so loud
this is my selfie side
is he yeah yeah it
I just want to be clearer
no I think that's every mom
they talk loud on the phone
and they talk like if they have to yell
because they're talking to someone in El Salvador
like if it's if I scream louder
The Humee better over there.
I'm sure they have great service and reception over there.
They do.
So it's not needed.
And also, who yells secrets?
Why is she yelling secrets?
Like, it's like, well, have you ever, like, set a secret?
And then be like, you look around and be like,
no.
I thought she was in her own home.
I don't think she knew the kid was there.
Yeah.
Because she said that she came and she was already yelling and probably her saying,
like, hi, Tia, was, didn't go over the yell.
The grampuche, cabo.
Yeah, what they're on those phone calls, they're completely check.
They're just locked down.
You'll tell a mama secret and they'll tell the whole Tia crew.
I'm like, what the up?
I told that to you, not everybody else.
She's on the phone on speaker.
So everybody in the house can hear it as well.
Okay, okay.
But that is the Cassandra does make a great point.
Cassandra does make a great point.
Adriana, Adjana East L.A.
What's up, Adriana?
Wait, Adriana?
Not, not the...
Adriana.
I'm here.
Hi.
Adriana, we're trying to help another Adriana.
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
Adriana?
Yes.
Yes.
You are Adrianna?
We're trying to help out the other Adrianna who's finding out that maybe her Tia is actually her mom and her mom's actually her Tia and she does not know what to do.
What would you tell her?
I would tell her that just deal with the punches.
She's at least she's with her family still and not like realizing that she's adopted and with like a bunch of strangers.
which wouldn't be ideal.
In 2018, I was, had to move out of, at the point I was living with my mom and her husband.
Yeah.
And my little brothers.
And my mom apparently had a change of heart, and she, like, didn't show up one night.
And it turns out she was, she had a best friend from kindergarten.
And she was hanging out with her.
her best friend from kindergarten and her best friend had a brother that they were messing around
with when they were teenagers.
So in 2018, when my mom stopped showing, she decided to tell me that my dad wasn't my dad
and that this guy that I remember him at when I was growing up as a kid because there was
one point when we were living with my mom's best friend and their family.
And I remember this guy as a kid and she's telling me as I'm 33 years old like, oh, by the way, Miha, your dad is not your dad.
And this guy that I decided to leave my whole family for is actually your dad.
And I'm like, three, why are you telling me that my dad?
Oh, my God.
Hold on.
So what you're saying is she rekindled.
So your stepdad is your real dad?
No.
The friend's dad.
The friend's brother.
Her homegirls brother.
My mom's home girl's brother is my dad.
But it's crazy because my mom's best friend,
the brother is actually related to her husband, their cousin.
What?
Sweet home Alabama?
No, they all do each other.
They just all do each other.
Yeah.
I get it now.
So your dad, the person you think is your dad is like your Thiel.
No, the person that is my dad
No, I think he's my dad
Because first of all, this guy that she's with
I'm taller than him
So how are you gonna tell me
You're my dad
So you're, hold on, hold on y'all
Let's try to piece this together
Adriana and Islai
Your mom is with someone right now
She's together with that
And that person
And technically she's still married to the guy
She's definitely still married
I don't care about the other stuff
Right now your mom is
is with someone and that's who she's saying
is your actual dad.
That's who she's saying is my dad.
So the new boyfriend or the stepdad and the guy,
maybe you didn't really like him so much because you knew
of life with before him, right?
Yes.
But she's saying like, hey, guess what?
I'm with your dad now and you're like, what?
I thought this was my dad.
No, she just, I don't know.
I was just like, how are you going to tell me
like you helped all this whole
time and you thought this person was my dad
or like now because you guys
are together and you guys are happy?
Like you want to make like this picture perfect.
Right.
And now, like, oh, Ejan is your daughter.
I'm like, what?
Do you guys look alike a little bit?
I know you said you're taller than him,
but do you have a little carita, little nose here?
No, like I have little like chinita almond eyes.
Like he has big old bug eyes.
Like I look like you.
I'm really different.
I love you.
I love you.
All right.
So how are you feeling?
You're feeling upset about it, huh?
Oh.
Yeah, at first I was upset because I was like, what do you mean?
How do you mean?
And like even me and my nana, we have the same mole on the back of our neck.
Is your nana your sister or something?
The new nana from him?
My nana from my dad.
Oh, the one you think is your dad.
My real dad.
Okay.
Which is a sister.
The one you think is your real dad.
There is no way that that's a coincidence.
Yeah.
The birth mark is they don't lie.
It's in the same place.
It's in the same place as my nana.
And, like, let me tell you something.
Let me tell you something.
I'll just in New York.
Not we're talking about it.
Are we helping Adriana?
And I was like, how we have the same name too.
But she's simply with mama issues.
I'm getting with daddy.
Okay.
All right.
It's going to be all good because you're you no matter what.
And like anybody, everybody else mentioned, the person that raised you is your father.
knowing your nana.
And I told my dad, I told my dad when this happened.
And my dad was like, you know what, Miha?
It doesn't matter.
I'm still your dad.
And I was like, you know what?
That's all I needed to hear.
That's right.
I love to you, A. Janet.
Thank you for calling in.
Her name.
She's going through a lot right now.
She's going to stay.
Oh, I almost had to change the heart right now, too.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
That's people's real lives.
On this, I'm coming mom after this.
Why?
Just ask her.
Any questions?
Yeah.
If anything.
We all got to ask.
We all got to ask.
I'm going to investigate.
Yeah, and then it's like, dang, I recently found out at 35.
I wish it by now.
Oh, okay, look, let's go.
You know what?
We got a couple of people that are down to tell us, like, the parents' perspective.
Oh, which I think is really important.
It is.
Right now we have our home grow agenda that had hit us up and told us, you know what?
I'm about to turn 20.
I walked into my Tia's house.
And you know, we're saying like your mom is the one that raised you,
but it does seem like her Tia was really involved in the raising of her.
She's like she's the one that would cook and clean
She's the housewife you know my Tio works
My mom has always been a single mom so she had to really work hard
So I like that's who like it's kind of like she did raise her
Yeah she was the one that was there in present you know what I'm saying
So she walks in and she hears her Tia yelling at some in the phone
Someone back in El Salvador and is saying like yeah I'm gonna tell her that
My sister's not really her mom I'm her mom yeah
And her world is crumbling down
We do have
someone that can give us the parents perspective this is sara in anaheim sarah good morning sarah
sarah good morning hi sarah sarah sarah hi sarah sarah talk to us what's going down okay so my story
is kind of similar to what's going on but i mean i'm the parent i'm the mom okay and i got to say
about how it went with my daughter okay so when i met my husband i met him when my daughter was
She was about a turn one years old.
So her dad was never in the, her original dad was never in the picture.
And I met my husband.
We married and everything.
My daughter grew up thinking that my husband was her dad.
And she was daddy's girl forever.
And then we had another baby.
And then, you know, our family was growing and it was hard.
Like me and my husband were always, when is the right time to tell her?
Right.
When are we going to tell her?
her. It was so hard for us and we always wanted to tell her the truth, but it was something that we were like, how do we break it down to her? A lot of people would tell me, you know what, tell her now. And it's like, how am I going to break her heart? You know, she's so little. She won't understand. Like, it is just very hard as a, as a parent. You don't have, there's no right time to tell them, like, or how to even tell them. It's not only going to affect her, but it's also going to affect her things like they're going to start asking questions like, mom, like,
What do you mean that's not my dad?
So there was no right time until my daughter started asking questions now that she's older.
She did have a change of last name when she was a baby and everything.
My husband, you know, gave her last name and everything.
In her eyes, it's everything.
That's dad.
So from the start, your husband was fine with her being like, oh, this is my dad, this is my dad, this is my dad.
Like just from.
She was little.
She was a special mind taking on kids.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So she, my husband is all she knows.
Wow.
He thought that was her dad.
So like I said, there's no right time or not even a way of how to tell them.
Like, it's just something so hard.
So have you not told her?
But she just found out.
And the reason why, because in her school, they have Chromebooks.
And when she was little, she was still partly in kindergarten, she still had her last name, the first last name.
Not her, not my husband.
Oh, wow.
And her Chromebook kept popping up.
And I had already told school, hey, you guys need to change this because she had a change of last name.
So even now up to high school, that last name kept popping up.
So she told me, Mom, why does that last name, you know, and I can't, and not what I always tell her, you know what, the school probably made a mistake.
You know what?
They're probably confusing you.
You know how to tell her?
Yeah, Greg.
Yeah.
So then I told her, you know what?
I told my husband, you know what?
I think she's old enough.
It's coming soon.
I feel it that we're going to have to talk to her soon.
So my husband was at work.
My daughter, we were at the table.
We were eating.
And I was going through some emotional stuff.
And she was like, Mom, why does that name keep popping up?
And I told her, do you really want to know the truth?
Do you think you're ready?
Oh, I know.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
And I told that, you know what?
Uh-huh.
Through her whole time.
growing up, I kind of made up a story like telling her explaining about a girl that had a baby
and that she had to work hard, you know, to be able to provide for her because she wasn't a single
mom, but she met a guy and he was a good guy and took over the baby like his very own.
And then I would always tell her, how would you feel if you would have been that baby or she would
always tell me, mom, you know, I would be grateful because he took me in and he took care of me
like his very own. So no matter what that would be my dad. So me, when I told him,
do you remember the story I would always tell you?
She was like, yeah, well, that baby was you.
And she was like, what?
And I'm like, yes, you know, the whole time I was trying to prepare you for me to tell you something.
But I just didn't know how there was never the right time.
Yeah.
And then she was like, she just looked at me.
She's like, mom, I understand.
She was like, no matter what, that's going to be my dad.
And that's all I know.
And he's always been there for me.
So she took it like a big girl.
And I was, I was, it felt such a release to me to, you know, to let her know
the truth, but she took it like a big girl, and you know, I'm so proud of her, you know,
and I told her, I'm sorry if I ever had to keep this from you, but I had to, like,
there was no way for me to tell you, like, or when the, it's the right time to tell you this.
Right.
You had years.
Oh, no, she was a kid.
No, like when they started to, she started to see the last name.
So I feel like that would have been an opportunity to be, like, depending on the age.
The age.
She started to see the last name in kindergarten.
No, she was like, she was in kindergarten.
End up to high school.
How did she know?
How old was she when she found out?
She was about a turn 15.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Her last name changed.
Everything was when she was like about in kindergarten.
So she was about four years old when we did the change, the last thing changed and everything.
But she took it like a big girl.
And I did tell her, do you, is this something that you want to tell like your sister or anything?
Or this is something that you want to keep between us?
You know, she said, no, mom, you know, nobody has to know, nothing has to change.
I said, exactly.
Everything remains the same, you know, like, nothing's going to change.
And she's like, I know, mom, I, you know, I feel it.
Nothing's going to change.
And I've asked her previously, you know, is there something, any questions that you have for me,
anything you could always ask me?
And she said, no, I don't even want to talk about it.
She's like, I don't even think about it.
I'm like, okay.
That's good.
That's good.
She would ultimately have to start at, thank you so much, Sarah.
She would ultimately have to start asking questions.
her father, the one that left, you know?
But yeah, it's, it's tough story to tell.
Thank you so much for calling in, especially, like, I guess as the parent,
trying to figure out when's the right time.
When's the right time to tell the kid about the situation.
Do you think the sooner the better then?
She was at 15.
No, no.
It seemed like it worked out.
I don't know.
It's a tough.
It's a tough call.
Asking questions is when you should say it.
When you should say it?
Yeah, because if you prolong it, they'd be like, why'd you prolong it so long?
Like, I feel like you're being just lied to at that one.
Yeah, the moment they ask questions.
You answer it.
Yeah, but this is like a big.
No, the perfect time is always a milestone.
All right, a quinceaniera, 18th birthday.
That's always the perfect time.
Make it memorable, right?
Right?
Yeah, never forget this birthday.
We got a couple other parents that want to chime in, I guess, on their side of things.
We have, his name is West West, West, in Mission Viejo, West.
We're talking about our friend Adriana that hit us up.
She's about to turn 21 years old, went over her Tia.
house, heard her Tia yelling kind of over the phone.
Like her Tia didn't know she was there.
She walked up, her Tia yelling, and her Tia was like, I just, I'm tired of it.
I'm sick.
I'm frustrated.
And I'm just going to tell her when she turns 21.
Her mom's not her mom.
I'm her mom.
And so she's kind of dealing with this little nugget of chisement that has to do with her.
And she's like, I don't know what to do, how to even think about it.
Should I ask questions?
Will I want to know them once they, once I ask?
So, West, what would you tell her?
Good morning.
Good morning.
Good morning. Hi, Wes. Hey, so from a parent's perspective, right, so we're kind of going through that right now.
Me and my wife, we have two beautiful kids, but unfortunately, her sister can't have any kids.
It's just something in the genetics. And so she was actually thinking about doing surrogacy.
But why is she going to go do surrogacy with someone who's a stranger where, you know, you can keep it in the family,
And it's a lot safer.
We know, you know, we know each other.
Obviously, we're all family.
So our thing is, like, she can't have a kid, so we want to be able to help her and bless her to be a mom.
You know, she is very involved with our two kids.
She takes care of them.
And, you know, we catch her crying sometimes.
It's like being super sad that she can't be a mom.
She can't fulfill that, you know.
It might be selfish, you know, if you really think about it, where we're having a kid,
just to give it, you know, to her.
But at the same time, it's like the kid's going to be loved from both sides, right?
From her.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Chill out.
Chill out.
Let me say it.
Let me say it.
Wes and his girl are going to have a baby for the girl's sister.
It's their baby.
And they went the full nine yards and everything too.
No.
Him and his wife.
The sister can have kids.
So him and his wife are going to have their kid and give it to the sister.
Right?
Not your fantasy, Greg.
This is a got crazy brain.
Wes, did we get it right?
Yes.
Okay.
You're lucky.
Greg that you were going to go.
He's a Pee-Hoo in the sister.
She can't have kids, so that wouldn't have even worked.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Do you think that maybe that'll be tough on you guys?
Because that's going to essentially be your child.
I don't really think it will.
Just because, like, we're all very involved in each other's lives, right?
we already have two kids
and I feel like her being over all the time
like her just having that extra
I don't think so
obviously you know you can't really predict the future
so there might be some emotional
and mental strain. What did you trade the kid for?
Like hot chitos or something?
Did you get the $100K? It's a blessing.
Well, is she paying for you to give her the kid?
Go for about $100K.
No, no.
No.
It's out of love.
For the free skisks?
Honestly, honestly, it's out of love
And like I said, like sometimes we catch her crying, you know, and it's, it's very hard to see her because she can't fulfill that, you know, in her.
She can never be a mom, you know, and she really wants to.
And it really sucks when, like, you know, people give away kids or, you know, and it might be for different reasons, right?
Like physical or financial or whatever it is, right?
But when someone really wants to be a parent and they can, you know, that really sucks.
because no matter what they do, they might not ever be able to fulfill that, right?
So we can help her fulfill that for her.
I feel like that's good, you know.
And it's not like it's going to a stranger or anything.
Yeah, yeah.
I got a question for you really quick.
What's your ethnicity?
You're Hispanic, you Mexican, where are you?
Puerto Rican, Colombian.
Yeah, Mexican.
Are you Mexican?
Mexican West?
Your name is West?
Yep.
That's cool.
I ain't got to lie.
West.
West, Oeste.
West, Europe.
Sister-in-law never thought about just adopting?
She was thinking about surrogacy.
Like I said, she was thinking about that.
And then we were like, why are you going to have someone else have your kid when we can have your kid for you?
West, how old are your current kids?
My oldest is eight and my youngest is six.
Just like a, I mean, I'm not judging you.
You're doing an amazing deed.
Yeah, very incredible story.
you ever like imagine you know uh seeing your baby when it was first born and handing it over to
somebody else knowing that like you're not going to be able to be i guess you're going to be present
but you're not going to be that certain like like when you're doing it for that certain reason i think
you already in your mind you're prepping yourself for nine months for that you know what do you think
with yeah yeah no that's that's exactly right like you're kind of prepping yourself already for that
you know it's not like yeah you know this whole time you know nine months
we're excited about having a kid and then, you know, kids born and then now you just give them up,
you know, that's not the case.
It's like we're kind of prepping for it.
All the ultrasounds, all the appointments, like, you know, she's going with us.
Like she's there, you know, she's very involved, like I said.
So she's there every step of the way.
You know, so like I said, we're kind of, we're already going.
We went into this already, you know, kind of prepared.
West.
And then, you know, obviously, like, if anything, like, we could always reach out for mental health and counseling and stuff like that, right?
You're painting, like, a beautiful picture, but, like, what have you thought about, like, when the kid gets older?
Like, where's that kid's a damn brat?
And then, like, you want to discipline them so bad?
And they're like, you're not my dad?
That's not what I'm thinking at all.
And then it's like, yes, I am.
I'm thinking, Wes, I'm thinking, like, what if you see your sister-in-law, like, I don't know, give the kid a pow-pow and you're like, wait,
that's my kid, like don't hit my kid.
Like for discipline.
Like I'm thinking that.
What if the kid becomes a millionaire?
What if that kid becomes LeBron James?
Because the difference between like surrogacy or adoption is low-key.
They give the kid away and they kind of can take a step back.
Your sister, I mean your sister-in-law and your girl seem to be close.
So you're going to be in really close proximity to this kid.
That is your child like by nature because you gave you and your wife.
gave birth to it, but it also now belongs to the sister-in-law.
And it's illegal.
Yeah.
Is there a-
We're not trying to kill you in by any jrish.
We're just super curious.
I honestly think that you're doing an amazing deed, and it takes a lot of courage to do this.
I do have a question like, do you guys have a plan down the line where you're like,
are we going to ever give this information and let that kid know?
Or is this something that you guys plan to just keep it hush forever?
Uh, it, it, it, we're all going to obviously play it by ear. My, my thing, when we were kind of sitting down and talking about this, um, we were, we were thinking like once, you know, they turn 18 or once they turn, you know, 20, 21 or whatever, right? Once they're an adult because even now, right, my eight year old, my six year old, like, sometimes when you give them information, like people dying or, or something happens in the family, right? It's like very hard for them to understand that. And it really affects them, like, at school, um, with their friends, like, just at home, you know, like, really.
affects them. So, um, I think they're not like mentally ready and prepared for that kind of
information. So I do apologize for Adriano, you know, finding out, right. Just, you know,
just me, I'm like, you know, just hearing it, you know, across the room or whatever that she,
that she might not, you know, her parents aren't her parents, um, you know, and I, I, I really feel
for her for that reason, right? Yeah. But at the same time, maybe she wasn't just mentally ready for
that. And it all comes down to maturity, right? Like the previous caller where her daughter found out
at 15. She took it like a chimp, right? She took it like a big girl. And it's like, it's all
about maturity and how they grow up and how they're raised, right? Yeah. So I think it's just
maturity level, not necessarily age. But if it comes down to it, yeah, definitely, you know,
by 18. And like I said, it's not going to be where they're going to grow up, not being loved,
not being taken care of, right? They're going to be in the family.
Hey, West, I got a question for you. Hold on, no, right. West, West is somebody.
that is calling us up after we asked for help Adriano who hit us up on the homie
helpline she is finding out through kind of just like overhearing her aunt talk smack on the
phone that her aunt is her actual mom and her mom is a tia not really her mom and so she's
trying to deal with that west is somebody that's calling us up right now because him and his wife
are going to do something similar from the parents perspective they see that his sister-in-law
his wife's sister can't have kids, she cries.
It's really something that she feels is her purpose, but she can't do it.
So they've decided they're going to have a child, him and his wife,
and they're going to give the child to the sister.
Yeah.
Whose idea was that was?
That was my wife's idea, actually.
Okay.
And you were okay with this?
She's giving up a...
And he's...
He loves her.
Yeah, I mean, I kind of was.
I was kind of thinking about that.
For me, I'm very, like, financial, right?
Like, we struggled growing up.
Like, we didn't really have a lot, just like a lot of Latinos, right?
But, like, why are you going to spend $50,000, $70,000 to pay for a surrogacy when we can do it for free?
Wow.
Obviously, there's paperwork involved, right?
We're getting lawyers and stuff like that.
Or for legal reasons, as far as, like, once baby is born, you know, he or should,
right? We don't know that gender is going to be a surprise gender when a baby's born.
Surprise gender?
What?
Yeah.
But you do you, you already have a boy and a girl?
I'm telling you.
Yes, yes, we have a boy and a girl right now.
You might be giving up a lot of time.
Hey, Wes, and since you already have kids, right?
How old are they again?
Six and eight.
Six and eight.
Are they asking questions like, wow, mommy's having a new baby?
Are we having a brother or sister?
My wife doesn't really show.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
It's barely.
But she's going to show eventually, M-I-G.
I mean.
But they're not asking questions right now.
For both our kids, she didn't really show.
She had like a little like loading.
It happens.
Mom's just getting a little weight, you know.
Yeah, you know.
Mom just hasn't to me.
Wes, do your kids look like you, bro?
Yeah, they do.
Okay, what if this little kid just pops out like it's just another cookie cutter version of you?
I mean, they're not like spitting image of me.
Yeah, but what if this one does?
Yeah.
And becomes a millionaire, Brazilian.
And they name him East.
Jeff Bezos.
What are you going to do about that?
What are these Jeff Bezos, too?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And he's like, I don't really like my uncle, no inheritance for him.
I don't know.
It's kind of weird.
Honestly, I mean, the only thing we can say is like, hey, we're all family.
We all have to look alike.
You guys are going to warp this.
I like Wes.
Wes, we appreciate you.
Wes, we appreciate you.
Wes, keep us updated, okay, bro?
We appreciate you.
Yeah, definitely.
Yeah, appreciate you guys.
Where was he from?
Mission VA.
We can afford it.
So, but that's not illegal at all.
No.
No, they're getting lawyers.
They're going to do like a legal adoption.
Yeah.
No black market babies.
Yeah, sometimes that happens not for nothing.
Like if one sibling can take care of their kids, they can give custody to another sibling.
That's essentially.
what they're doing. They're going to give up their parental rights
and custody. You just have to do paperwork. It's not
it going to cost you like the $50,000 that it's going to
Yeah, maybe he has. Yeah. So
Adriana that initially hit us up.
You could have
you could be part of us in situation.
They may have saw your mom,
maybe not being able to have kids and then
they gave her one. Yeah.
You know, and they just kept close. It's
crazy stories to tell but clearly what
we're finding is it happens in different forms.
I'm just laughing again at the
milestone. Every time
a milestone.
Like, even Wes is like, maybe 18 birthday, 21st.
I don't know.
We'll play it by year.
He went by maturity and I guess could, I looked it up like what time, like usually
around the 25 year age is when our brains are supposed to mature.
And I guess maybe it's going to affect you anyway.
Baby girl, Adrianna from East L.A.
found out at 33, you know.
And she's tripping.
Yeah.
She doesn't accepted it.
No, because she has the same birth mark as who she thought was her dad.
He's not.
Looks nothing like the real dad that she said is her dad.
Yeah.
I'm care of my mom says.
So meaning if they never mature, you never tell them.
Yeah, I guess they go off with their little brain can have.
It's just like being light to your whole life.
That's the thing.
It is.
That's what's the biggest part of it.
I'm telling them as soon as they start showing some promise.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, that's mine.
If you were wise.
Yeah.
Okay, okay.
I know you got scared of Hodge.
Yes.
Farah 106, L.A.'s number one for hip-hipa.
Whenos Diaz, good morning to you.
We have four tickets for you to enjoy the terror at Universal Studios.
Halloween horror nights, okay?
And I didn't say the other word.
I said horror.
Horror nights.
His head snapped right up.
Like, what?
What?
What?
What we're going?
Horror nights, all right?
But you have to give us, like, your best scream.
Like, I always envied the girls that can scream like in the scary movies.
Because I could never.
Like, if I was getting killed, it'd be like, ah!
That's still a scream?
No, not.
I don't have the.
No, it's different.
I think you have that scream?
I don't think so.
Let me try.
Like if I'm screams.
That was good
I do I do it do
I've always
I've always envied
I've always envied
You guys better relax
Because Greg loves a screamer he said
Why?
Why?
It's great
Right
To go to Christina
Christina
And West Covino
What's out Christina?
Let me hear you scream girl
Christina
Yes
How old are you
Christina?
I'm 34
Okay
Jesus, we all got scared.
Free Greg.
We almost had to make some free Greg t-shirts.
Free Greg anyway.
That's why you should shut up from now on.
Yeah, you should wait.
I love me.
All right.
Christina.
Christina, are you ready to scream?
Yeah.
Okay, I'm going to count you down three to one it.
And then you give me your best scream like if you were at Halloween Horror Nights, okay?
Okay.
Three, two, one, go.
That's not a street.
Wow.
Gun shy.
What happened?
Okay.
She got nervous.

Thank you, Tanya.
Where are you?
I'm in Glendale right now, but I'm originally from the Valley.
No, by the, like, you're at work?
Are you screaming at work?
That'd be crazy.
Guys, I'm literally late to school for you.
I have to run into my school right now.
Let's go.
GCC, what's up?
All right.
Have a good one, baby girl.
Yes.
Thank you.
Wow, that was good.
She was good.
I heard the terror in her voice.
I loved it.
What is that?
Did you guys drop your water?
What are those screens?
I'll show you some trucks.
Scrolling with the movies.
And every day it's getting harder and harder as parents to be letting your kids be on social media, especially TikTok.
They're finding out some really stupid things to do that I don't even think we would be down to do.
And we've done some stupid things.
What's going on, Greg?
All the parents better double check when their kids say they're,
want to kick it with their friends?
Oh, no.
Because these kids are kicking doors.
Yep, check this out.
This is video sent to us from a viewer in Aliso Viejo, who said over the weekend,
she and her neighbors were the victims of a door kicking prank that has become popular
on TikTok.
Across the country over the last year, police departments have put out warnings about the
trend, which is a more violent version of the old ding-dong ditch.
Man.
Yep.
So kids in the middle of the night are kicking on people's dole.
Yes, so they'll put like, kind of like
low-key, a donkey kick or a horse kick.
They'll put their back to the door and just kick back.
Oh my God.
Some of these doors on these videos can you open wide, right?
It's an unsuspecting house.
If someone to kick that door open, you think Loki probably like SWAT?
Yeah.
Some type of an agency, a home invasion, something like that.
That is such a dangerous prank.
No, like these kids must have never heard any hip-hop at all.
kicking the door waving the 4-4 like that's what i would think if somebody's trying to kick in my
door they're trying to harm me you know what i'm saying it's not a meaningless
well didn't that kid just recently get killed for do for ding don't ditching yeah he passed away yeah
for doing dindong ditch which is different than the kick one but still super tough it was a kid in
i believe texas a young kid that went and did the ding dong ditch rat as he was running away
the homeowner shot him yeah as like when when you start like really having your own crib you
You start to realize, like, bro, this is nothing to play about.
Don't come to my door with anything.
And the one that you heard in the video in Orange County, the kid's wearing like a shi-sty mask.
Like, he's covering his whole face.
Yeah, this is wild.
So the kids are also a different complexion than us.
They're a lighter complexion.
Yeah, it's a little vio.
Yeah.
So to them is like, he-hah-ha-ha-ha-ha.
But if I saw a kid kicking in my door with a mask, hang on a lot-good.
You're going to think it's a robbery.
Yeah.
And it's more than a couple of videos.
It's a whole trip.
It's a whole trend.
It's a whole trend.
This is terrible.
Horrible.
So be careful, parents.
Go watch your.
And I got to think, you know, like when we were young, we did the ding-don ditching too.
All the time.
That was the thing.
I just wonder when it got so dangerous.
Yeah.
Or maybe we were just not thinking or they're not thinking.
But also we were.
They're not thinking of the dangers of it.
No, but we would like hear from our friends like, you guys want a ding-dong ditch.
Okay.
All right.
Well, try it once.
Not, not for me.
But these people are like seeing it online and seeing like, oh, I'm missing out on fun.
And they're, I feel like, I feel like they're just.
mimicking it because, oh, that one was so funny.
Let's do it too.
Let's go viral.
Yeah, just for me also, it was apartment.
So, like, you all kind of knew each other and you knew who to kind of mess with it.
That the kids were messing around with you.
Yeah.
It's not a stranger.
Like, I'm pulling up to this house and knocking.
No, you go like, okay, let's go mess with, like, that lady over there.
We know that she's a little grumpy.
See?
So me?
So, imagine you kicked in her door?
No, that's different.
That's insane.
And that's the thing.
Back then there was only doorbells.
Now there's cameras on the doorbells.
Ring cameras.
So it's all ring cameras.
So it's like, I feel like the game's changed.
You're going to get caught no matter what.
That's what we're going to shyness.
Yeah.
Oh, gosh.
No.
I did it at an apartment that had like the buzzers for every year and I would ding
dong just all of them.
Oh my gosh.
And I just buzzed them and then one would pop in and talk to the other one.
Because they're all like answering.
I'm like, no, leave.
That's funny.
That's funny.
That was the lightheartedness.
But I guess they don't see the perils of it.
Us as a dozen, I guess I have lived longer, we sound so old right now.
Like we've seen some things kids.
Well, yeah, I mean, it's, that's what people do, especially in LA.
Like, that's first sign of a home invasion.
There's a whole song about it and everything.
Yeah, it's just not like a simple doorbell.
This is like, boom, boom, like kicking in a door.
That's scary.
Watch for that, parents, if you're listening.
Check in on that with your kids.
You just don't know sometimes what to say.
I didn't ever think I needed to tell my six and seven-year-old, six-seven.
I didn't think I needed to tell my, hey, don't be kicking indoors.
Yeah.
But you need to now.
Like, just add that to the.
brush your teeth, make sure you change underwear and don't kick in the...
Yeah, don't do no B&E.
What is that?
Breaking and entering.
Oh.
Yeah.
Or breaking and running, because they break in ending.
Oh, yeah, true, true.
We're time to get a celebrity because we're getting into straight into some cheese men with Angie.
You guys ready?
Yes.
All right.
Guess who this celebrity is.
Hi, my name's Mary.
Hi, my name is Mary.
My name's very made to me.
I already know who that is.
Hold on there's more.
I love this.
I love this.
I love this.
Camphelis here in Santorini with Miss Amigini
I know what it is
I know exactly that is
I don't know so can I guess
Yeah
Rosalia no no no no no
Carol G
Yes
Hi my mate's many
Hi my name is Mary
My maids me
I love her so much
I'm so bad at this.
I'm like 0 for 6.
Coachella headliner.
Yes.
We're proud of her.
We're proud of her.
That's awesome.
By the way, if you end up going to Coachella next year, Carol G's the last, on Sunday.
You're going to see a bunch of orange, especially with Carol G's fans.
They dress up.
If her wig is red, they are wearing red wigs, right?
Right now, her color for this new album is orange, so just a bunch of orange.
Oh, okay, it makes sense.
Do you think they're going to come in, like, show girls?
Oh, yeah, that's part of it.
Tropicanas.
Safari invite us.
Cardi B
Her, she's dropping an album
She's doing
It's like the interview
I never thought I needed
Is seeing her with Kelly Rowland
From Destiny's Child
Like they had a low-key
This makes me feel like Kelly Rowland
Can have her own show
Like a talk show
Yes
The way she's able to talk to artists
Yeah to make Cardi B
feel so comfortable
That she was actually talking to her
And telling her you know what
Like I've been trying to be
A girl's girls in the past
Right
But it's actually like
Backfire
Yeah they backstabbed me before
And so she was just telling Katie, like how she understands how, like, online the internet can be really mean.
So she slid into girls' DMs, but it hasn't worked out for her.
Sometimes when I see, like, a new little thing coming up, and I feel like they're kind of cool.
And I feel like people be dragging them.
I'd be sliding in their DMs like, it's like, hey, you know this temporary.
This is a good and bad thing.
Good and bad thing.
But sometimes you got to know who to do it with because I have done that two things that done when and fuck my men and all that.
Oh.
Yes.
Wow.
That's what everybody's thinking.
Who done it?
I'll be in the DM being like, girl, don't even listen to online, don't even listen to Twitter.
And then come to find out, they say thank you.
But then they're also trying to get or have gotten hooked up with, I'm assuming, I'll say.
Oh my God.
Yeah, at the time.
Damn.
Guess that celebrity.
There are guests, boy.
Yeah, there are guesses.
Like, people are thinking it's either Christian Rock or sweetie.
Chrison Rock, Blue Faces, Baby Mama.
Yeah.
Also has some music.
Just be realistic here.
No, for like, was she on bad girls club or some?
Yeah, bad girls club.
And then blue face had.
Yeah, yeah, something like that.
That whole thing.
Zeus, Zeus network.
Okay.
And then the second one was Sweetie.
No, no, no, no.
Dude, when I heard Sweetie, I'm like, don't be pinning them.
I don't, you think it's Christian?
I don't think it's Sweetie.
Sweetie did tweet something like, hey, okay, baby or something.
Okay, honey, she tweeted that yesterday.
I didn't see that one.
Check the tweet real quick?
I don't think it's sweetie I will not put them against each other yeah I don't want to do that
I don't think sweetie's gone backlash for like Cardi to be like yeah when I see the internet turning on someone
then I get her DMs she said hey hey hey baby's yeah oh what does that mean okay okay and then also
the reason I'm like ah did that actually happen is because obviously sweetie dated quavo yeah which is offsets
group member of the bigos which would lead to
say that she messed with two out of the three Migos, which would be like an outrageous claim.
But I think if it was specifically sweetie, then that would have been the Cardi story.
True.
You know, like someone that dated my man's homie got with him versus someone that hit in the DMs got.
Like it would have been maybe a little bit closer.
I get you.
Like, don't keep girls around you because they'll date your man's friend just to get with your man.
She would be more specific to that story.
It would be that type of a feeling.
She would never do that.
Sliding into a DM.
She would never do that.
No.
No.
But Cardi did say, you know what?
You just got to be careful who you're DMing.
Be careful with me.
She went on.
Speaking of Offset, she went on to talk about Offset, right?
Yeah, so then she got into like Offset and how like their breakup was really hard.
And it was so hard that she actually had to go to someone for advice.
Who do you think Cardi B went to for advice on relationship with Offset?
Which celebrity?
Oh, a celebrity.
I was going to say a password.
Oh, that's actually good.
Father Greg Boyle.
She's been to Father Greg Boyle.
So like an older celebrity?
Maybe, no, just a celebrity.
Who would Cardi B go to for advice about offset in her, their relationship, their divorce, the cheat?
Kelly.
Kelly Rowling?
Yeah.
No.
Oh, Dilemma?
Yeah.
Nikki Manach.
Definitely.
What?
It was a trip to find out.
It was a trip to find out.
It was this one.
I even talk to Shakira and I was like, how do you get over this funk?
She was like, Shakira!
Shakira!
Yes!
Le-lo-la-l-l-l-Lel-Let!
Shakira, my hip's lying right now, girl.
What do I do?
Listen.
I even talked to Shakira and I was like, how do you get over this funk?
She was like, it takes time, but it's like, it almost felt like, I felt like I felt like I was
withdrawing love.
And I'm not even trying to sound exaggerated.
Like, because I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't think, I can't work.
I can't even look at my.
kid's face because it's like I just want to cry just look at him like yeah
so she kicked she found out by her soccer player yeah yeah yeah the jar of peanut
butter story right yeah yeah yeah yeah she found out reportedly allegedly
because she was on tour she comes home it's it's either a jelly or a peanut butter
that he doesn't eat yeah but when she went to go grab it it was eaten in like
So she's like, no one eats this but me and whoever cheated on.
Oh, that's a report.
Yeah.
That's the story that we know.
It was in the maid, right?
No, no.
No, because the maid in her are really close.
Oh, yeah, yeah, the maid in her.
The maid kind of helped.
It's almost, yeah.
It's the whole thing.
But it's so sad, you guys.
But she was honestly, like, Cardi was really going through it.
Like she was saying, like, she can't go out anymore.
She can't see Dela.
She just wants to be inside.
And she just said, like, you know what?
Like, when I knew, like, me and officer were done,
Like I just knew it was like it's over.
Yeah.
And when you know you're done, I don't know what it is.
You just know that it's done in you.
It just dies in you.
But when it dies, it's very painful.
Yeah.
So that's why she had to reach out to Shakira because she's like, you know what?
Like you went through it.
Maybe you can help me.
Yo, my stomach hurts.
Shakira, I need you.
No, but you know what?
Who needs Peptobismo and Shakira exists?
I can't eat.
But it might not work out for her because.
Because after that, like, they have a song together now.
That's awesome.
Hold on. What did she say?
What did she say?
Punteria.
Punteria.
Yeah, okay, okay.
What does that mean?
Like aim.
Oh, yeah.
She's so good.
You got good aim, yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right.
So her whole thing.
Her new album drops, is it this Friday?
Yes, this Friday.
Yes, her new album drops this Friday.
I'm excited.
Cardi B. she just announced her tour too.
Yes, she kicks off in Palm Springs area.
I hear we're going to have tickets for it.
that I also for the LA show.
So make sure you keep it locked on Power 106 for all of that.
Let's talk about someone coming out of retirement, Victor.
Yeah, speaking a good aim, Tom Brady is coming out of retirement for a third time to play football, you guys.
This guy.
Yes, he'll be playing football, but not in the NFL this time.
He's going to be playing in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic inaugural tournament.

So he's not going to do it alone.
He's going to join former NFL legends,
Rob Grancowski, also Odell Beckham Jr.
Wow.
And current football players as well, Tyree Kill,
Sequin Barclay, Christian McCaffrey, C.D. Lamb and some Raiders, all right, Brock Bowers and Max Crosby.
I have a couple questions. Okay. I was going to ask, okay, so is Taylor Swift's man going?
No. No, he didn't want to buy it. I do not want to buy Taylor Swift.
For flag football, rules the same as just like in P.E. Like, yeah, pull the flag.
Yeah, like you just. All right, would you want to see that?
Of course. And Kevin Hart is going to be hosting it. Wow. It's going to be funny.
Yeah, they got everybody.
And then they're going to have legit coaches too.
Pete Carroll, who coaches the Raiders used to coach USC.
Sean Payton, legendary NFL coach.
When is this going to happen?
Don't throw Raiders need him right now?
Didn't they just lose?
Yeah, but this is going to happen in March, so spring.
So it's going to be, yeah, March 2026.
Offseason.
Offseason for everybody.
After the Raiders won the Super Bowl.
It's going to be right after.
Yeah, with Gino Smith.
They're going to do so much.
Yes.
Geno Smith, our savior as a quarterback.
Yes, but, yeah.
So a lot of people were like, dude, is Tom going to come out of retirement?
because the Raiders are, you know, the quarterback isn't so great right now.
But he won't be, he'll be playing flag football.
I would want to see that.
You guys want to see that as football fans?
Yeah, I want to go broadcast lives.
Flag football is like getting hot right now.
There's whole leagues and everything that are happening.
For just for flag football.
I think he might be a part of the Olympics.
I'm going to lie.
It is.
Oh, yeah.
What?
Mm-hmm.
It's a big thing.
We learned in P.E.?
Yeah.
Yeah.
We had no idea.
Yeah.
I was a generational talent.
I had nowhere to go after high school, you know?
What does that mean?
Like, I was so good at flag football.
You are?
Yeah.
But y'all say you're good at baseball, right?
I was.
I was.
What happened?
Injuries.
Injury.
Injuries.
I saw a big run in Vegas.
Yeah, we've seen you run.
Brain injuries.
I was born with injuries.
Yeah.
I was born with it.
Yeah.
Let's do it.
We should play.
No, I can't.
I'm terrible at football.
Yeah.
I played like one season.
I was like never get in my life.
What you got to do is throw the ball and catch it and run.
Put me on the bench.
I'm all right.
Okay.
Well, I'm sure it's cool for Tom Brady fanatics.
that you get to see him once again.
Yeah, you get to see them in football.
And what I do did learn about, like, the Saudis, especially.
The money they're putting up is to, I guess, create, like,
outerworldly things you never would have seen coming.
And I guess the flag football with all these grades would be that, right?
And bringing Tom back.
Yeah.
And, like, former NFL grades with, like, current NFL players, like, that's so cool.
We'd never see that anywhere else.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Well, thank you for that.
Thank you for everybody.
Thank you.
I am so excited that we did this right now.
We are so happy.
Hi.
Tom Brady here.
I'm very excited to unretire and come back and play in another.
He was reading the part.
I'm not going to lie.
Okay, we're in Vegas.
Shout on Netflix.
Like, Riyadh season.

Dana White has a super announcement.
He's going to go right now.
And then Dana's like,
