17. 17. Yes. 917. 917. Is there any area code 917? I feel like this is that New York? It is New York.

Wow. I wonder if they're doing like New York things over there. Wow. I know, right? New York Day? I don't know. Because how we do. Great on 8-0-09.

Brooklyn! You'd be Italian over there? Oh, man. Go back to being Puerto Rican. A couple people I put in the trunk. Whoa. Chill out. Chill out.

And he has a Tesla too. Oh. Oh. They both do. No, but he just said he wanted to put someone in the trunk. There's a one. Yeah. One in the trunk.

Then go on tour. They're still looking for suspects. Go on tour. All right. Greg's here. Angie's here. Maximo's here. Big is here.

Concrete is here. I'm letty. In the flesh. Fresh. In the car name. Wow. I'm Latie. I'm here too.

Hey, I wanted to bring up here on the show. how I've been watching on the news and stuff that they've canceled a lot of Hispanic Heritage Month events. Yep. What? Yeah, because people are afraid or the fear that it could be targeted.

Like, it could be a reason people go to for the ice. Yeah. Like type of raids and things like that, right? So I'm like, dang, like, we should really figure out something we could do. That's sad. Like, people are scared.

Yeah, people are scared. You know, they just had the East L.A. Parade and incredible parade, amazing, to everybody that came out, but that it was not as big attendance as previous years and totally understandable with everything that's going on. Because imagine it's like if you're looking for us,

you know where to find us. Then I'm like, how should we help in that? Because you can't really be like, hey, let's throw another party. If we throw another party or throw something, like now that's going to be. It's kind of like a setup like in the way. Yeah, yeah.

It's like a little, like now I get why like the underground type of deals were granted for other reasons, like Al Capone for alcohol. You know, but like speakeasy event. Yeah, like maybe, I don't know. In the parking out of you? I'm working it. In our parking structure, we do a little like parade.

You have to do a Mexican, Mexican knock to get in. Yes. You know? That's a Mexican knock. I don't know. I don't know. It's a bad word, yeah.

Sounds like a fed knock. Yeah. I can't say it. What's the bad word? You whispering it. I didn't say it. Inca, your mother. Inca, your mother.

Yeah, that's what it means. Wait, what's the whistle? Isn't the, yeah. Oh, okay. It's completely legal. That whistle is. That's he don't know about the whistle. Good one, good one.

See, we're getting to it. We're like a secret society. Just throwing it out there. Just get creative with it, I feel, like, because you shouldn't not be proud in an honor and Hispanic character it up, you know? Vic was actually telling me the reason for Hispanic Heritage Month, why it started on the 15. You know how it was all weird?

Yeah. Yeah. What happened? Yeah. Okay. So it just started as a week, Hispanic Heritage Week back in the 60s. And then Ronald Reagan made it a whole month. So he just extended what already was a week into another 30 days.

So that's why it's in between two months. I wish he just added the weeks before and then the, yeah. Yeah. Not after. Weird. Yeah. What's a month from now? Boom.

That's when we end. Reagan's like, you got three more weeks. Yeah. It's like a random Tuesday. He's like, you know what? Think the whole month,

you know. He deserved it. Exactly. Yeah, that's confusing. It didn't make sense with the start of all the, the independence days for different countries in Latin America. That made sense. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. Where are we at? We're in between. Yeah. All right. Well, that's a good thing, little things you learn.

Yeah. I'm sure you're going to learn more inside concrete's weather because it's so smart. The more you know. Yeah, right? We're an educational show. We are. We are. But we're also an educational.

Whoa. So early. All right. There's like one of our childhood stores too that is not going to be bye-bye. And the more and more I see this stuff is like, dang, the world we knew, it doesn't exist anymore. Like there's going to be stores that have closed down that you used to go to every day or like you know from like Circuit City Radio Shack. I'm that old. I know how I'm going to say it's going to be blue.

I got to tell my son's stories about Anchor Blue. There's going to be another one we add to the list, and it's just going to hurt you. Forever 21. It's going to hurt you. That one's gone. What action? Yeah!

There's another one. Don Roberto. We're going to talk about that. We're going to talk about that inside money moves. Don't put that on Don't Roberto's name. It's still exists. Yeah, they got me for 40 grand. What?

These fools do the way. weather and then they feel like they're meteorologists. And that's it, I thought off. No, yeah, they feel like you're not doing your gig right. That's how they feel because they each did your game. Well, you guys have two more days. I felt like Jeremy Lynn. And by the way, there was one of those days.

You have to, you have to explain that. I'm not too sure. Oh, Jeremy Lynn? Yeah. So Jeremy Lynn, players got injured on the team and he came off the bench and he became like the biggest thing. Wow. Maximal sanity.

Oh. Speaking of Monobello, Whittier Narrow Park Spanish Conquistador ghosts Near the intersection of San Gabriel Boulevard in Lincoln Avenue in Monobello, people have reported seeing the ghost of a Spanish conquistador on a horseback.

The legend says he drowned while trying to retrieve gold from a buried in the river. Folks also say strange fog rose through around that spot. One question I have, who the hell is he? The river bed? And you know. who is a Spanish conquistador Victor

Hernan Cortez Nah Nah they don't know We were strutting to figure out right now We don't know I'm gonna go to my Rolodex of all my ancestors Of all your ancestors

One of the days, I think the first day, Vic filled in for you. And it was, like, a hot day. He's like, you were going to be chill in whatever. And then that's how it started. That's why I didn't say. anything when he said it was hot because I get stuff wrong too. It wasn't wrong. Hot is hot. 80 is not chill. 80 is kind of chill.

No, it's not hot. It's warm. It's not warm at all. It's just like a flat. Yeah, it's like perfect. It's chill. It's not cold. It's not hot. You guys are so spoiled with the weather here. We are. Don't add me as you guys because do you see how they are. They're like judging every little thing you do now. In other states, 80 degrees, people will be like butt naked. Yeah. They will. They will. They will. They will. Too hot?

It would be hot for the. No, like, my family in Chicago is, like, in shorts and 60 degrees. Yeah. It's a nice day out. It's 60, and they're in shorts. But that's in Chicago. You're doing the weather out here, full. Full.

But there's people, like, they're probably, like, visiting, dog. Oh, God. You don't want them wearing sweats. All right. Thank you. You will be here again tomorrow if one of these fools doesn't, like, lock them out so they can do the weather. Come on, please. Maxisian.

Maxisian sanity. What's your new mother? Oh, my monsoon Mac. Monson. Monsoon. I love that one. Greg. Greg Cloudy, Greg?

Cloudy, Greg. Cloudy, Greggie. Greg. Greg. Greg. Greg. Great. All right.

All right. All I make mony moves. I mentioned it before. One of our absolute favorite stores when we're younger for different reasons, apparently, finding out from the crew, is about to say bye-bye. Talking about Clares, Clares. Clare. Oh, I got my nipples pierced there.

I was broke They would not do that They would not do that Clare's is Don't say that Don't say that They're closing anyways What does it matter?

Wait, you were 12? Yeah Oh my gosh And my belly button They left it all messed up That didn't happen Yes it did That didn't

You weren't there You had your belly pierced And my nipples Okay, let's see All right At 12 is crazy I know 20 for Nikki y'all

It's only for Nikki to see You take your shirt off during the shows all the time. Yeah, I take my nipple clamps off whenever I do that. All right. Going back to the story. Claire is famously known for like cute little accessories for girls and for everybody go get their ears, pierced legally. Nipples.

At them all. Ears. Yes. Maybe nose with a parent. With the parent. At the mall, right? Yeah. I was talking to Maximo and Vic about it because I know how they have little ones in their

life. I know Emmy. Remy Winters. Emmy would love going there. I live taking my niece Brooklyn, who's 10. And you're Brooklyn, who's 8, she, of course, I'm sure the accessories and all that stuff. No. Okay, so when I brought it up, I'm like, you know, we can talk about it because, you know, you have daughters in your lives.

And then Vic is like, oh, no, I could talk about it firsthand experience for me. Me and Claire's got an experience. What? Yeah. No, I just. Would you go there for the accessories? No, I wouldn't. But I just knew, like, all the girls that I would, like, talk to when I was in middle school and high school, that's for the first.

place they would shoplift. That was their first shoplift experience. It's not making sense. I dated them rough. You know what I'm saying? Las travisasas. But what I will say is for the new generation, I don't think they go there that much. Well, yeah, I take my niece there.

There's cool stuff to get. But now, especially like the tweens, they're going to Sephora. That's what I was going to say. To buy skincare that is not created for them. Like it's created for older skin. They have the perfect skin, but they love going. They're doing too much. They are.

They're doing their makeup like they're 25. Let your skin breathe me high. Let your scream breathe me. They do get readies with me and all of that. Yeah. And even like accessories, they're on like TikTok shop and like Timo and finding like things for really, really cheap. So it's hard for Claire's to stay in business. It's not going to stay in business.

They're setting up shop and they're breaking down shop and it's going to be bye-bye to Claire's. Now where will you get your ears pierced besides the indoors want me? Those went away too. San Fernando and Thor Swampi, for sure. The Imperial Swapme went away, so I don't know. Yeah, no, no, for a lot. Panorama Swami is still there. Yeah, it is.

Live and Kiki. Oh, yeah. Like three stores? I miss the Cabraladita Sundays, you know. Aw. You go upstairs for the piercings. Oh, gosh. Wait, I was confusing it for the Panorama City Mall.

No, no, no. Yeah, who goes there. We go to the Swampi. No, I like the Swampi. No, I like the Swampi, too. But, yes, Clars is. closing down, just get ready. But you'll always have Don Roberto's, right?

Yeah, Don Roberto's for sure, for sure. Nah, just go to the Swamp. You can get your ears pears and you could also buy a monkey if you want. Anything. Perky and a shark. That's recession-proof. Just be multifacity. Because if you just focus on one thing, a niche thing, you're got.

Get us out of here. You get some solo jeans. Oh, my God. A hoard. All right. And that was money moves. Let's give a fool their flowers for Hispanic Heritage Month. I know they want us to be down and out and not celebrate and not be proud.

Yes. But we are, right, Max? Yes. And today we're giving our flowers to the one and only. I do you feel crazy. And Susan. Hold on. That was amazing.

That was good. He took you back in times when Selena Gomez was on Barney and Friends. She wanted little kids running around with Barney. Lucky. Like different vibes of her? Yeah. Her acting, her singing. Taki Taki.

Yeah, and you didn't do the pop songs, which she also. I mean, I feel like Taki Taki Taki was probably the biggest record that she's been on. Like, as a collaboration. He's thinking worldwide. Worldwide. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I could be wrong. Yeah.

She does have great solo records. And that's where I added the end with the Marias. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Which is a beautiful record. That's a great one off her new album. For sure. But yes, since the child, Selina Gomez has shown her hardworking Mexican blood through child labor.

I mean, child acting, child acting. She started her career in Barney and Friends with Demi Lovato. She's a generational talent, Vic. She's an actress, a singer, a philanthropist, and an entrepreneur, a rare human owner of rare beauty, which made her a billionaire, a lover, a crier, a nacho lover. And also, she's all about her cheese, whether in a tub for nachos or in her bank account. She really loves nacho cheese. And that man gave her like a full tub of nacho cheese.

And I guess it's a specific one. Yeah, it's kind of weird. That it got to get flown out. Spicy nacho cheese? Yeah. Some type of nacho cheese. And Selena does not only deserve an apology from Vic, but flowers for all her accomplishments. I agree.

Yes. So, Vic, it's your time. Show her some love for Hispanic characters. She's killing it. Heritage Month, I will give her credit. Maximo did a great job with putting together that compilation. That was amazing. Made me realize, oh, she's done a lot of things.

Compilation of accomplishments. You know what I'm saying? And she has two good songs. So, you know, I apologize. He has no good songs. No, she has many. She is, Selena, Selena, Ners, all you, I apologize. There we go, man.

She was crossing his fingers. No, no, I wasn't. I wasn't, I swear. He has a 10. The comment. The two-song comment was enough for me. But yeah, she's a billionaire. She's won many awards, Billboard Awards, MTV Awards, American Music Awards.

So shout out to her and everything she's done. And she represents, you know, our culture, Mexican-American. She did great. She's from Grand Perry, Texas. Yes. And I remember reading a write-up on her. And this was years ago. This was probably if I had to error it up when she was with Justin.

Okay. She was doing an interview. It was a written one. And she was talking about growing up and them not having so much, literally having to go in the backseat of the car to look for change to help get gas in her mom's car. And when I read that, it's like, yeah, same. You know? Right.

And ever since then, I'm like, clearly, like, to see the billionaire status. And not many years previously having to, like, pinch for pennies in the back of your, one of your parents' cars to help them. Like it's like sending the kids in the back to like see what you find. Yeah. I'm like, oh, same. I've seen it. I've been through that.

So that really brought her, like it humanized her for me, you know? For sure. No man. Yeah. Shout out her. She, I feel like she deserves it. Yeah. She's also named after Selena.

Yeah. I was researching Antonio Banderas yesterday and I realized that she was in Spy Kids. She was like a very brief cameo. She was in Spike Kids. And I was like, oh, that's cool. You know what it is? I feel like. I grew up with Selena Gomez without growing up with her.

And you hate her for some right. With the exact same age and I'm just like, I've seen her my entire life like Barney till now. And you're, and you're bored of it. I'm just can't stand a little page. I'm taking her for granted. And I apologize for that. Whoa. More of this on Hispanic Heritage Month.

The next month I'm on yes, the 16th. Just kidding. 16th of October. Yeah, 16th of October. It's scary out here. She's also on Cardi B's in a while. I saw the track. Yes.

And they're saying that song is out of here. Yeah. That's going. Yeah. I mean, the last project she dropped with Benny Blanco was actually really good. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Don't watch that. Shout us Selena Gomez. Shout out Selena Gomez. And speaking of giving Fuz flowers. If you want to give somebody flowers, log on a brownback mornings 106 on Instagram because you could tag like concrete put in the video. Tag your favorite if it's pelotero.

Palatero. If it's your favorite homie, if it's a teacher you had, someone you want to recognize. we're going to start doing those readups too where we go on air just like we read up we talk about like someone like selina i want to talk about the the people that are listening and people that have inspired you you know give them love too you know now let's get into simp or pimps sim or pimps b i ams sip sip sip sip sip sip sip sip sip sip sip sip sip sip sip sip sip sip sip sim sim sims is somebody

that likes faking relationships oh yes and her name is sexy reds To be fair, it's not her fault. No. It's a trend. It's a trend. So, sexy red joined the fun of a new AI trend on Gemini, which is Google's AI, where you get to Photoshop yourself with anybody you want to be with. However, this is scary.

And it looks real. However, sexy red chose to Photoshop herself with MBA young boy. But the image she chose of herself was when she was pregnant. So it looks. Like a pregnancy announcement. Yes. And for those who aren't up on the trend yet, like if you're just randomly popping on Instagram or people's feeds and you're seeing them like taking a photo with like a

curtain in the background and it looks like a Polaroid almost, it's not a meet greet. They didn't really meet this person. It's AI. I didn't know what was happening on Google. Right. So what can you do? It's Google Gemini.

You type in a prompt that everybody's using and then you add whatever details you want. So it's like, all right, this is a make a polarite. picture. Hey, yeah, I'm charging $10. Do the prompt. No, I'm charging $10. Oh, God. Okay, go ahead. All right. You want to read? Do you have the problem in front of me? Yes, so the prompt is take a picture with a Polaroid camera. The photo should look like a normal picture without any clear subject or props. It should have a consistent lighting source like a flash. Replace the background behind the two people with a white curtain. They're smiling. Keep both of their faces original. Do not change their faces. And then you add the photos. Yeah. This is a lot of work.

Add two pictures of them close up, like a close up of you. Not of them, of close up of you. You have a person. Yeah. And it combines it. And then the prompt. And then you get out whatever you want after that prompt. Where do you find Google Gemini?

It's the Google's AI. Yeah, because right now I'm like on Google.com, if I'm on a computer, it doesn't exist there. There does. It should be Google's version of AI. Yeah. It would be on your right top side where like you pick the different. I think it's like AI mode. Yeah.

You're driving right now. Go ahead and search it. Yeah. But yes. So she posted this and then she reposted on her story a meme where someone posted a picture of NBA young boy and it said he's ready for his 22nd child. And then she captioned, I'm ready. Who the F said that? So she is applying pressure.

She is hilarious. Am ready. Do you think now this puts pressure on like NBA young boy to like, I don't know if to holler? No. Is it super pimps? So like I guess it's one thing for Greg to. be posting hooda from love island but it's another thing for like a peer

to be doing it to another peer like it would be so weird if someone from the flavor unit was like put their arm around Angie you know it's like saying we're peers we work in the same business wouldn't that be weird

it'd be weird if then Greg puts himself hugging like one of the digital girls it'd be so weird that's random that's random choice but it would be crazy that's why I did hoodo because I'm never gonna meet hooda

like I'm not yeah I was like what are I think So you think, brother. I believe you. I don't know. It would just be different if Jose put himself next to Tommy Arbos. Like, you know what I'm saying? Yeah.

I would do that. Because we're all seeing each other to stay guilty. I feel like sexy red doing that with NBA young boy. Like, this is a real thing. Yeah. Sexy usually gets her man. She usually gets who she wants. She had a big crush on Chief Keefe.

And I'm not saying I know any inside information, but they were like seeing together like here and there. You know? So it's like if she has a crush An NBA young boy, she's going to achieve her dreams and that's just her like kind of shooting her shot. And also she's going to have beef with a lot of baby mummless. Oh yeah, but she's ready for all the smoke. She's ready for it.

She's ready for it. Is it simple? Can you say she? All right. Is it simple pimped to be A-Iing yourself next to somebody that you know, like you're faking a whole relationship with that person? Yes. Yes. That's pretty

sick. It's different. It's different. Like you're doing it with. From my shame. Yes, I don't know her. Yeah, I don't know her. Yeah. And you're not her type. I can't be her type one day.

No, you're not. Yeah, one day. You're going to grow feet? I'll change her life. She's only like five feet. No, her type is tall. I'm tall considered technically to her. No.

I mean, phone line. We've got you for the homie help line. Melissa, Melissa, needs our help, you guys. Melissa. All right. So Melissa sent us a DM and said, a brown bag. I really need advice. So my little sister is 10 years old. There's a 22 year age gap between us so that she's more than just my sister. She's like my baby. And now I'm carrying a

secret that's crushing me. Oh. Her dad has cancer. He's in the fifth round of chemo and he hasn't been able to be around and see her. He hasn't been able to visit, hasn't been able to laugh with her, hold her, or even just sit next to her. They only talk on the phone and she knows he's sick, but not how serious it really is. My mom and I decided to shield her from the full truth, at least for now. We thought we were protecting her, sparing her, letting her hold on to a little more of her innocence. But the other night, she slept over my house. She looked at me and asked, do you know what's wrong with him? And I lied to her brown bag. I said no. And it's been eating me alive ever since.

She wants to know. She deserves the truth. She's my everything and I don't want to lie to her. But I also want to protect her. Should my mom and I tell her the truth? And if so, how do you tell a 10-year-old something that could change her world forever? It's heavy. Yeah, it is.

It's real heavy. That's such a young age, too. Yeah. Finding that out. That's sad. Yeah, it's like how do you approach it? then you have to kind of explain, like, because you could tell the little girl, hey, your dad has cancer. She's not going to understand what that is.

Okay, what's cancer? Yeah. You know, and like the gravity of that, you know, some kids may know, some kids may not. So then that's even explaining. And then it's like, okay, well, it's really serious because a lot of people pass away from it. And then it's just like, oh, okay, now you got to go that. Yeah. And then it's like, what does pass away mean?

And, you know, it could just go down a whole rabbit hole of, you know, a lot of curiosity. And you have to kind of like, like, like she said, like almost like get rid of the innocence. you know, that they have if they still have some, you know, left in that aspect of, like, they don't know certain things. So it's tough. You know, life doesn't have any type of boundary on when it gives you a hardship, you know, and that's what the real telling part of the story is that she does happen to be 10 years old, and this does happen to be a real thing and things, unfortunately,

not because we would wish this on anyone happen when you're young, when you're old, when you're a teen and you are never ready. Never. No one is ever ready for news like this. But now it's up to the task for Melissa to figure out how to tell her 10 year old sister who I'm sure is incredibly smart and has peeped game and is watching the things and is really need somebody to be like, hey, guide her through. Because what essentially we could be doing by not telling her anything is leaving her alone.

Yeah. You're leaving her alone in this process, in this moment, in this hardship by a way to protect her, right? But also, we had this homing up on yesterday of people not knowing that their mother is really their mother and things like this. And it's like understanding like there's never a right time. Yeah. But you're for sure leaving me alone if there's nothing said, you know? Right. We have Melissa on the line.

So we want to get her story about it. Melissa, good morning, Melissa. Hi, good morning, Brownback. Melissa, I first and foremost want to thank you, baby girl, for trusting us with this story. I'm sure that doesn't have come easily. This is a very, very personal story, and I just appreciate you for hitting us up about it, for DMing your homies over here at Brownback. Yeah, thank you for taking me time to this thing.

So I guess take me to you and your sister. a 22 year old age gap she's 10 you're 32 23 you just turned 33 she's about to be 11 okay yeah and I bet you even at 32 this is hard yes it's very hard so I know you're like I'm seeing her what do you what do you see in her what are the things that I guess how these last few months have been with your with your sister

maybe asking questions with your it's your your stepdad, correct? Yes. With your stepdad and kind of going through these things. Just tell me where you guys are as like as a family. Well, it's kind of a difficult situation because she has a family prior. So it's pretty hard as it is. Yeah.

Trying to thank my sister. Do you feel, there's not something anybody wants to do either. Of course. Yeah. Are you the oldest? because I'm wondering, too, the pressure feels like it's on you? No, I'm not the oldest. I'm the middle child.

And it kind of does feel, I mean, I have two other brothers. So I'm like the only girl in the middle. So in the fact that I'm a girl, I feel like I care more. Yeah. And she's my little sister. Like I always wanted a middle sister. and when I finally got a little sister, I was so thankful. And, you know, because it's happening, like, I try to protect her.

And I try to give it to see that I didn't have. Hold on, baby, I don't want to, I don't want to interrupt you, but someone's in, it's really loud. It's really loud. It got really really loud. Yeah, sorry. No, no, you're good. I know you're trying to get space. I know you're trying to have, have a little, have a moment.

So don't worry about it. you talk about how you and your mom agreed you know what we're not going to say anything right now it's not the time i've had that same thing when one of my tias passed away my family got together and they're not going to tell our mom my abuelita because she's older and age they don't want to they don't want to freak her out they don't want something to happen with her heart finding out her daughter passed away right yeah so they didn't tell her and they came to agreement with with it personally i didn't feel like that was a thing that should have been a thing my sister didn't either um but it's kind of like a decision beyond you to make and maybe that feels similar with

you and your mom like this is what the plan is right yeah um it's difficult because um at first i thought she was going to tell her when i um pulled her aside when she told me about it um i told her are you going to tell her? And she was like, no, I don't think it's the right time. And I said, okay, I agree because she's too young. And what do you tell a 10-year-old, you know? And so we decided just to wait and see how things go. And I didn't expect for her to ask me if I knew.

So that's why I reached out to me. I see some of the guys. She's catching on. She's noticing. I guess how do you go about it with her with Pops? What does she think? What is the story told to her? Just that he's sick and he's in the hospital.

Oh, okay. So when was the last time that she actually saw him? Because I know right now you said that their communications only through phone. Maybe like she saw him a month ago. Previous to that, like how was the relationship between him? Like was it something where like she saw him often where this is like a good thing? where this is like a complete change to their usual like hanging out?

Yeah, she saw him as much as he could come by. Like I said, it's a different situation because he has a family prior but he would come visit more often than now. Okay, I have a little question and this might get very chismosa.

So he has another family. You guys are probably like... The second family? The second family? Yes. Yes. But he's still with the other family. Yes. So it's not even the second family.

It's the family on the side. Yeah. Right? Yeah. So you already don't really see him too much. I don't, but like I said... Yeah, your little sister does. Yeah. She's my little sister.

And it's probably more tough because the other family probably doesn't know about y'all. Yeah, probably not. Oh, that took a... Turn. Yeah. So that's where it's tough. Like, you guys are genuinely hurting and that's your, that's his little, that's his daughter. Yeah.

But it's probably withheld from his family. So let's say something were to happen. Let's say something were to happen. He wouldn't. They wouldn't communicate. Be involved. Yeah, they wouldn't be able to go. That's what I'm thinking.

Like, is she able to even go visit him at the hospital? What do you, what do you think, Melissa? I did talk to my mom about that I said like I know you don't want to hear this but like

it's something which will happen like what are the plans because it's not fair yeah that's not fair it's not fair to you your mom is especially not fair

to his daughter it's my sister has nothing to do with whatever happened you know yeah and she she wants to

you know, my little sister is very smart and she's knowledgeable. She does everything. So I think she is already catching on. Yeah, I will say. She's mature enough to be like, yes, I do want to go or I want to be there, you know. So I think if she decides, then I would be there to support her. But the thing is that that's what I talk to my mom about, like, do the, because his wife, no, like, like, you need to make plans just in case something does happen because she's going to be affected at the end.

Yeah. We're going to take cause, Melissa. I know it's a very heavy situation and you're kind of seeing it for the best interest of your sister as you should because that's the little one. And like sometimes other people do other things that we have no responsibility over, like, but we take on as kids. Parents do things and we kind of take off. on the stuff and the situations and we shouldn't because it's heavy on our back but your sister should be

a part of your father's life and hit her father's life before we go to college and we definitely I would love to hear from what L.A. and our listeners have to say, does that family know about your little sister?

Like I said, I'm not sure but I mean I would assume that if this is not true his best that he would chase a thing, you know? But, I mean, with men, you never know. Yeah, no, no, that's real. Melissa has a 10-year-old sister.

There's a 22-year age gap, so she's 30, just turned 33. And her sister's father has cancer. And she's wondering whether to tell her sister about it, ruin, you know, kind of her innocence, and is worried about what it's going to do to her. She, the baby, or the 10-year-old, I'm sorry, hasn't seen her dad in about a month. And they're, you know, she started to ask questions.

Hey, is, is dad okay? What's going on with him? Do you know? And the sister, Melissa, said, no, I don't know what's going on with him. And it's been eating her alive ever since. Now she wants to know, should she tell her or not. And there's an added little nugget that we have to explain to you. She, it's also really tough because it seems to be a hidden family.

what I mean by that is that it seems like this man stepped out of his marriage and got with Melissa's mother, had this little girl that's this 10-year-old, and already sees her not so often. It's not a daily father-in-the-home type of situation, okay? And Melissa told us, yeah, like, naturally they probably wouldn't see each other so much, but now she's catching on that they don't see each other at all. and it's only phone calls. What we told her is that she, what we say to her is that he's sick and in the hospital we don't tell her the full truth.

And it's tough on her, all things considered how layered it is. It's layered because not only is your father passing, or not passing, has cancer, fifth round of chemo, but it also seems like maybe if something should happen, they won't be involved

because they are not the family that he would see every day. Primary family. I hate to even say that. It's the truth, though. It's the truth, though. Yes, I hate to even say that. Melissa, is that correct? Is that kind of get it?

I know it's jumbled and everywhere, but is that kind of the gist of everything? Yeah, that's correct. Yeah. And... Hey, Melissa, just out of curiosity, and, man, you know, forgive me for my ignorance, but I'm asking this. Earlier you said that man could be liars and the females here agree as well. And most of us do agree.

How did you find out he was sick? And is he really sick? Or is he maybe just trying to hide the family even more? Or is he, I don't know, I'm just being curious. Like, how do you know he's sick? No, he's sick because he, not FaceTime, but like Samson has kind of like FaceTime. so he video chats with my mom in the hospital and she showed me pictures of him

because he has like face cancer and his eye was very swollen so she showed me pictures so it's real so so your mom still keeps in communication with him yes and he's like balding and you know like with the chemo losing his hair and stuff like that yes

and he's like gaining weight which is like the process or not gaining but like you know how they get bloated? Yeah yeah yeah inflammation inflammation yeah okay okay so it's a real thing and I guess just have to question it

because there is another family involved and I'm sure you guys have had those like is this for real well when my mom told me that's my first like is this real or what's going on but honestly, like, thinking about it, she has to know her, his wife, because there was a time where she found out where we lived, and she came and she tried to question my mom,

but we just didn't want to, we didn't want to get involved, because my mom's a hothead, so she would have. So you guys are hiding yourselves, basically? Not hiding ourselves, but it's just a tough situation. Like my mom was lied to. And this is not the first time, you know. My mom's older. She's been through a lot.

And I'm sure she just doesn't want to deal with the wife, you know? Yeah. And the fact that the wife, I mean, like, there's certain ways to deal with it. You know, when you're mature, you're going to come to the woman and just talk to her. But the wife came unexpectedly to our house, was banging on the door, was yelling on the door, was yelling so you know like who wants to do with somebody like that so i kind of feel like maybe she has a clue but i just don't know 100% sure if he told her everything it's a tough place to be for all of you i would just like to to tell you it's so tough for you because your mom is everything

you love your mom you and your brothers that's your that's your star that's the person that raised you and everything. This by no means puts her in a good or bad issue, but also that lady, the wife, is also the star to her kids and in her family. And she, I would be very careful about how she reacted because you can't tell how you're going to react when you have an inkling that maybe your partner is doing something that they shouldn't be or somewhere that he shouldn't. And I'm assuming even having a whole other family that would drive anybody berserk. and understandably so. So I guess on both ends,

both your mom and her, it's just, I can see where your side is very protective of mom. There shouldn't be you having to defend your mom because that's not on you. That's on her and on him and not you. So you're taking up a lot.

And I thank you because this is like a conversation that I know you probably didn't expect because it's supposed to be about your sister. So I don't want to lose you in that. I will say there's a lot, there's a lot of stuff you're doing. for other people, girl. Like Melissa, you are doing so much

for your whole family, Melissa. And you want to make it right. You don't want problems with this other family, even though it is wrong. You want to protect your mom because you don't want people to look at her bad because she is a good mom to you. You don't want, like, you want to defend it all,

Melissa, give yourself grace, baby girl. You were crying when you first talked to us. I know that this is shaking you. You have your own life too. Baby girl, you're 33. I'm sure you have your own wants, needs, aspirations, dreams. This is a lot to go through for you for something that you didn't do yourself. You know?

Yeah, it's a lot. So the whole situation is there. It's not the wife is bad. It's not your mom. It's just a messed up situation right now. And all we can think about is Melissa's little sister that's 10 years old. And her father is on his fifth round. of chemo.

It's tough for Melissa to keep it from her because she's asking questions. And not only is she asking questions, there's these thoughts of, dang, are we going to be involved? They got to know about us. Like with the family, when stuff goes down and if he were to end up passing away, that he didn't make it out on the other side of this. So we're taking calls. Hopefully we can help her more than anything.

I just want to give her my love. That's a crazy situation. It is for sure. It's tough. It's tough. And really, you know, not to call him out in a time like this, but it's the Pops fault. You know, it's all that. Like, all these people are, you know, suffering, you know, essentially from his decisions and stuff like that.

And, you know, like you said, let the God forbid something happens. That's a time when a death happens like that. That's when everybody starts to feel extra ownership of somebody and likes to shun people out. It's like, you've seen it, you know, time and time again, you weren't even that close to him. Why are you posting him? Or why do you this and that? And like he wasn't even your dad. Like it can get very ugly.

And an already traumatic experience too. You're already going through something like a life trauma with a parent passing. I've had a homie that unfortunately passed away. And then we found out there was different kids that he had. Yes. Like we found out at the funeral. So it's like that happens. It's real.

There's these different lives that happen. And ultimately it's just stuff you kind of know. There's no guidebook on. how to handle it. You can only seek advice from people that have been through it. Yeah, and even understanding how sick he is, I'm sure the mom and his current family want to tread lightly on finding out this information or blowing this thing up because stress makes you worse in this situation when having cancer.

So it's tricky. All right. Let's go to Angel in Southgate. Angel, thank you so much for calling in. we're talking to Melissa who kind of needs help maneuvering whether she should tell her 10-year-old sister or not that her 10-year-old sister's father has cancer. You know, he he may or may not be too present in their life, but it's something that his sister, her sister, excuse me, is asking questions about her mom has told her, no, we're sticking to, we're just saying he's sick and nothing else. So she's kind of in a moral, in a moral dilemma of like, should I do this or should I do that? She feels extreme guilt over lying to her little sister.

What would you tell her, Angel? Hi, good morning, Brownback. Well, I had a similar experience like this. My son, I have a son, and he grew up with my brother. He helped me take care of him because I was at work, school. And when my brother was taking care of him, he was going through leukemia cancer. So he was going through chemotherapy. He was going through a lot of hospital appointments.

And when my son turned six, he started to see changes. Like he lost his hair. He got really skinny. He just got really weak. And instead of us telling him like, oh, it's because he doesn't eat his vegetables. Or oh, it's because he, this and that, we just kind of told him what it was and explained to him that he got a disease. and we told him what it was cancer. And he didn't understand what cancer is.

So you just have to tell him that it's a disease that we, you know, we are all going through and it's hard. And we don't like seeing him like that. But it's something that we, instead of keeping from him and something happens to my brother and he doesn't see him again, he knows instead what happened and what he had. Was it difficult to come to that or you knew already you were going to? to say something? It was difficult because when he was first taking care of him from one years old to four

and five, he was fine. But then when my son turned six, he kind of got really weak. And it was really noticeable that something was wrong with my brother. So we told him how it was. And now, like, my brother luckily got better. They did a transplant on him. And he got way better. But my son knew that he had cancer.

Wow. And allow them to ask those questions, you know. And I'm sure you're even learning, too, because it's something for you, too, like to try to figure out what's the best, I don't know, the info on all of it. Yeah, yeah. So just informing him.

And he still asked, like, oh, like randomly, oh, if I don't do this, will I get cancer? And I don't think he understands that it's not something that, oh, you don't do this, you're going to get it. No, it's just. something that comes and I don't think he understands that because he still asked me until this day. Thank you so much for your call.

Thank you. Just to know that it's like, hey, they're going to ask questions. They're going to see a difference in the person they love. For sure. It's going to, it's going to be, something needs to be set. And that is possible to like for a six-year-old. So someone that's younger than Mrs. Sister to grasp it.

Let's talk to Liliana and Westminster. Liliana, we're talking to Melissa. who hit us up about her 10-year-old sister whose father has cancer and she doesn't know how to break it to her. She's seeing her father less, only talking to him on the phone. Her father's in the fifth round of chemo

and she feels so guilty that this 10-year-old doesn't know anything and is asking questions, but her pact with her mom was that, you know, we're just going to keep quiet about it. The side note of this is that they also seem to be a family that this man who has cancer had on the side of his primary family.

So they don't even know if something were to happen. They could be as involved because the last they know, the wife had come to the house looking for the mom, asking questions, trying to figure it out, right? So it has an inkling that something's going on. It doesn't seem like it's welcoming there, essentially, right? So how would we handle this? How could she relay this to her 10-year-old, that sister that has a lot to learn, you know, a lot to go through, lots of process?

Liliana, what would you tell her? I think that she should tell her. I lost my boyfriend exactly two weeks ago. Oh, I'm sorry. Sorry for your loss. And I would do anything to know that he could have been taken away from me at any point. I would have, I mean, I would still mourn him the same. Grief is still going to be the same if anything happens to him.

Right. I mean, you know, I hope that it does get better, but you just never know with cancer. Mourning him will be the same, and I feel like if she knew with health, if that time does come. And as far as being a hidden family, I... I just think when it comes to life or death, that shouldn't matter at all. Yeah. Yeah. And if something happens to him, it would help a lot if they can grieve in the open.

Not by themselves. Yes. Who knows, maybe this will bring them together the two families. Maybe not, like, you know, best friends, but they can. can lean on each other. It's a shared grief. When they need to. Yeah.

Great. Thank you so much for calling. And our condolence is Lidiana. We appreciate you listening and calling in. This is a tough call. It is. For sure. Thank you so much.

Thank you. Two weeks. But she's so right. It's so right. Like the side stuff doesn't matter. Yeah. If he's passing away, it doesn't, and whatever type of person he was, it's what he was that little girl, you know?

Yeah. And to make her grief in, private, because of the situation, that's very, very unfair. For sure. Put, like,

all the drama to the side and come together. And I would hope the other side would feel similar because there's also that part of it. Yeah. Yeah. You can think that I don't think that.

And what I like, you can't call it for everybody. We can't say, hey, let's think about this child, you know? Yeah. And it happens every day. We put our drama to the side,

you know, in much lighter situations. It's like you could be arguing with your significant other, but one of you starts throwing up and feeling sick. It's like, all right, dude, we'll deal with that later. Like, you know, and this is like a much more serious situation, you know, a bigger situation. So it's like people can put that stuff to the side. It's possible. Let's go to Shannon in North Hollywood.

Shannon, good morning. We're talking to our friend Melissa who's seeking advice on if she should tell her 10-year-old sister or not about the 10-year-old sister's father. The 10-year-old sister's father is not Melissa's dad. It's a stepdad. And he has cancer. He is in his fifth round of chemo. And the mom has told Melissa, we're keeping quiet. Mom is the word.

We're saying nothing. That just that he's sick. She's seeing how sick her stepdad's getting and also how many questions the 10-year-old sister is having. And she feels so guilty because this is like her little baby. She said, I have older brothers and I've always wanted a sister. and then I got this sister. They have a big age gap, but to her, this is her world.

She says, and she does not like the feeling of lying to her. But at the same time, she promised her mom that she would. Shannon in North Hollywood, good morning. Good morning, Brownback. Good morning, baby girl. Shannon, we're all a little bit depri right now, but we got each other's back. So what would you tell Melissa? out? Honestly, I

like I've had this similar experience when I was eight years old when I found out my little sister had cancer. Oh, this whole show has been like choking me up. I'm sorry, Shannon. No, no, you guys are good. But I would, I would tell her. But if you were to bring it up,

I would definitely have just a very gentle conversation and if Melissa wants to be the one to break the news and only her, like that's good too because how my mom broke the news to me and my younger siblings was that she was very sick and was in the hospital and I was very sheltered as a child. So I didn't understand how sick my sister was until we went to visit her and I noticed that they were female process. So I saw her I saw everything change with her, like, throughout the whole chemotherapy process. And I just think it's only fair for her little sister to know, no matter what happens with the father.

And regarding, like, him and his other family, I was looking to Lillian to talk about it. I feel like it shouldn't matter if he did have, like, a side. family I feel like everyone should be able to breathe in their own way and no one should be sheltered out because he did have his primary family and then he did have a little girl. Yeah. When your, when your mom told you, was it a certain, like a certain verbiage or was it a certain, I guess, I think that's what she may need help with too. Like, what was the gentle way of saying it?

She kind of just sat us down and just basically told us that we have something we really need to talk about regarding her sister. She got very sick and she just literally just broke the news and told us that they found that she had a tumor in her brain. And she has to go through a lot of medication and process so it doesn't grow. So she was just very slow and she used very, like, small words to help us understand. Because, like I said, I was eight years old. I never dealt with, like, family members being that sick in the hospital. Right. So that was, like, her gentle way of telling me, but she was still very straightforward about it.

Yeah, not keep you there. She didn't want us to be left in the start. And I'm the oldest. So she felt that. I would be able to kind of handle it because my siblings, I think, what they were like, maybe three and five. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. Yeah, thank you. Did I just say hug to Melissa? This is really hard. This is really hard. Yes, a big hug to her. Yes. Because this is really hard.

Yeah. All right. Let's go to the phone lines. We have some advice from somebody that works at a hospital, which is always welcome. Susie and Azusa. We were talking to Melissa, and Melissa hit us up because she has a 10-year-old sister

that she's keeping the secret from that her father, her stepdad and the sister's father, has cancer, fifth round of chemo. And she doesn't know how to break it to her. There's other side stuff, but the main point is that her father has cancer, and she's asking questions. The only thing that she has is a conversation with this.

The only thing she has is questions. Like, hey, do you know what's going on? Hey, where's dad? All of that. And she doesn't know. And nor does she want to keep lying to her. She wants to be able to tell her. Her mom said, we're not doing that.

So that's the tough part on her. She seems to be somebody that wants to just make everybody happy with peace and everything and be that person. And there's a lot of stress on people like that. with the stress to keep others happy and and deal with their feelings and not your own. Let's go to Susie and Azusa. What's up, Susie? Hi, good morning, Brownback.

Hi, Susie. Hey, Susie. Susie, you work at a hospital? Yes, I work at City of Hope Cancer Comprehensive Center here in Duarte. I'm a medical assistant, so I just instantly touched my heart when I heard this story. And I just want to say thank you guys for everything that you guys do. Thank you. You welcome, Susie from Zuzza.

And I just wanted to say, I mean, I'm so sorry, Melissa, that she is in the middle of everything. You know, honestly, I'm the same age of you, and I feel like I've gone through a lot of having to hide secrets and the family and, you know, just things like that. And I just feel like, just like the other caller said, I mean, especially when it comes to life and death, there's no secrets. You know, I think there comes a point where the truth comes out, the time has come. know, and unfortunately it's under these circumstances, but it's not fair for your little sister, you know, to just be hidden, you know, and I think she is, she's allowed to feel, heal, and know what's going on and be there, be involved in her dad's journey of where he's going through the chemos and everything. I will say, I think it's appropriate to tell her.

There's ways to tell her, and I think that she should really, reach out to the hospital. I'm not sure which hospital you are going to, yeah, which one he's at, but each hospital has like psychology services. We have, we have, we, I've experienced this with a patient before where a patient, they didn't know how to tell their children and they were in the age of three and five. And, and obviously it's hard, you know, because the mom was a patient. And I think, luckily, thank God, you know, she had a really good outcome. She's here today, years later. And it's just, um, they know they specialize in how to talk to the children. So this is not the first time that you will hear this type of story where the child doesn't know, the family doesn't know.

And usually secrets like this are kept, so where they don't want to tell the children, the family that they're going through cancer. So I definitely think that first they have to talk to the patient, you know, which is her dad, let them know that they want to get the child involved. They want to let her know and then they can reach out to social work and psychology services where they can talk. There's also groups also for her mom, for the family, their support groups for the for the patient. as well. So people where you can communicate with other families experiencing the same thing. That is smart. That's a really like go

to the hospital about it. I'm sure they have that type of that unfortunate section of the hospital because things do happen. I was going to ask because that's technically the second family would they be able to release records like that? Not release records. Or like release

the information. I know. I was kind of thinking that I hope they don't have like a one family policy. Because like yeah. Why? No, I'm serious. It's a valid question. No, that's true. I don't know if they can seek those benefits according to, if they're not the primary family.

Family, yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's the second family. So it's like, will they be able to tell the daughter? Like, you're not, I mean, it's his daughter at the end of the day. Yeah. But if he's already hiding her. Yeah, because it's like, oh, that's my husband or whatever. The other lady just says that just to like get past up.

Well, let's ask Susie. Susie working at the hospital. Susie, is this stuff only allowed for the original primary family? Or can they come in and be like, hey, this is her dad. Can you help her? Well, it would start off with the patient. So the mom would have to talk to the patient. They would have to let them know that they want their services.

And then once the patient, you know, request the service and the doctor put the referral. Okay. Yeah. What if the patient... And then it goes like that. Worst case scenario, what if the dad says no? Not chill. They have to respect it.

Wow. Let me ask you this. Are the services free? Yes, they are free. Because what I'm wondering is even if the mom is not telling them, like the mom is already against it. Yeah. And so for the mom to ask the dad, we don't know if he'd be for it or against it. Right.

Oh, that's so tough. That's a lot. You're going to blow up my spot. Exactly. Yeah, they're going to cross each other in the hallway. Yeah. Susie, Susie, excuse me. Wow.

It's tough. That's a crazy thing. Because the one way, like Melissa was saying, it's like you want to protect her, but then it's like you don't want to lie to her because what if something happens and then she like resents you? Not even that. It's going to keep going to. It's not like the cancer's going to go away.

Not like the Kimmel's going to stop. Yeah. Doesn't be more chemo a lot more. There's so many stories and I appreciate everybody for calling in and they're the, I don't want to leave your story untold. Let's go to Janet in Canoga Park. Janet. We're talking to Melissa.

Melissa has a 10-year-old sister that she's having trouble deciding whether she should be the one to tell her 10-year-old sister that her dad, the little sister's dad, has cancer. He's in his fifth round of cancer.

He's only doing calls with the sister and she's asking questions. Mom told her it's code of silence. We're not going to say anything. We don't need to. She has such a love

for this little sister. It's like her world. She always wished for a little sister and she has her And she clearly wants to protect her from the world But also does not like that she's lying to her What was what it feels like If she were to tell her do you have advice on how Jeanette in Canoga Park?

Yeah, so I actually had cancer I was my son I had a son I have a son he was three at that time Oh my gosh We wanted to just kind of block him out of you know telling him So it's like, how do you tell a three-year-old? So when I went in for surgery, my sister was watching him. My family were taking turns watching him.

And I ended up, you know, being there for like a week or so. So he was kind of like, where's mom, where's mom, where's mom? And I had told everybody like, look, I don't want you guys telling him. Like, I want to be the one to tell him. So when he finally showed up because it was just too much, a week was too long for three-year-old to see mom. Yeah. Sorry, I'm going to see.

No, go. And once he was able to see me at the hospital, it was like both of us and like the whole family were like in tears just because when we hadn't seen each other and he comes in, he sees me with like a big like blood on my neck, can't open my mouth, I can't talk. so it was hard for him to see that but I think he needed to see that we avoid using the the cancer word to him

you know he is a curious little boy so he was asking all these questions so we did sit down with him and we did let him know like hey you know this is you know type of virus mom you know sick and we had to take it out and this is why you know I can't do this and I can't do that so he's like

oh a virus he knows virus is obviously to a extent. So I think we were telling him in a friendly way and he understands it. Even now, he is five, turning six. He's still asking me like, hey, mom, why do you have the scar? How come he doesn't have going to wait? How come you can't open him out?

Why does you cheat her? So it's a lot of questions that he still is wondering why if the virus was kind of gone and why is it still there. So it's just, I tell him like, it's like a scar. You know, when you scratch yourself, you leave with the scar, it's okay. So he understands and he kind of goes by his day,

but then there's days where he is curious, and as he gets older, he's just going to wonder and wonder and wonder. And I think being honest with him or with the, you know, the 10-year-old is going to be probably the key because I think someone said it with life and death things. You just kind of have to be honest regarding the situation because we're thinking about the little girl, not anybody else.

I think she should be thought about from the very beginning because regardless of, how anybody thinks. That's her dad. And I would, I would hate it. That was my little sister and I never got to tell her. If something were to happen later on and it's like, what? Like, I knew something was like you guys didn't tell me and just kind of question, like, what else are you guys lying to me about?

You know? The grudge. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And, and I, I'm with you. But you guys didn't tell him until after. Yeah, a week after.

A week after. So, yeah. So the thing is that my cancer was... Yours was a tumor, I'm assuming, in surgery to remove it, right? Yes. It wasn't like chemo. So it was from the hospital. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, no, of course. Bad all around. Bad all around. But I guess you made the decision as the parent, don't say anything. I will say something after. And that's gauging the situation because you knew the type maybe what was, what was the process was. Whereas this person's like a fifth round of chemo.

So it's a long prospect. I'm assuming. Yeah, yeah. Or long, like, hospital. hospital visits and I'm wondering if he were if the dad says don't tell him and the mom says don't tell him I guess you having been a parent that said don't tell him yeah you would still say they should let her know that's kind of tricky because it's a little yeah but at the same time I think I don't know I guess it's hard I mean it was me and I'm the parent and I obviously I wouldn't

want to tell my son he's a three year old yeah maybe a 10 year old it'll be a little different because they grab the concept a little different. And it's a little bit easy to explain than it is to a little one where their head is like, I know what that is. Yeah. And the attachment to moms is everything. I know even a week gone from a three-year-old, that's a lifetime, you know? Yeah. Exactly.

Even in my family, like at our all big age, you know, like my dad had a heart attack about 10 years ago. And he didn't, he handed his phone to his girlfriend. at the time and was like don't call anybody until I'm out of surgery so none of us had any idea what was going on until the morning time and then it was like hey your dad had a heart attack last night and he's okay but we didn't have that worry of all night you know what I'm saying but it also could have got another way and woke up and they'd be like what you couldn't have told me I wouldn't I went to the hospital I could have those last moments yeah it's a toss up but thank you for telling us your story and I'm so glad that it's that the cancer was removed and here you have this five year old

that is asking you every question in the book. Like, Mom, why is your teeth do that? Mom, and why does your eye look like that? And mom, like, and you're just like, babe. They already asked a lot of questions. Yeah, I know. Like, Dad, Mom, where's the scar come from? Like, all of that.

I'm sick, right? Yeah. Thank you so much for calling in. I appreciate you. Oh, my gosh, Melissa. Man. Melissa. It's tough.

All right. We're going to go to one more call. We got Julian in Ontario. Julian. Melissa hit us up. She has a 10-year-old sister. her father has cancer and she's trying to figure out should she tell her she hates lying to her she's told her mom okay i won't say anything i won't say so much but she's seeing this little girl

ask questions what's going on my dad do you know what's what's happening and her heart is breaking she wants to make everybody happy but she also doesn't know if it's the right thing thing to do to keep her sister from this. Julian, what would you tell Melissa? Hi, Julian. Oh, what are you doing? Hi. Good.

Like you guys said, it's a tough situation. And depending on health and various cancer, she's not going to even have to tell her because she's going to notice. I lost my parents in 2012 and 2014 of cancer. And they didn't have to tell us anything. thing you could see it. Yeah. You lost them both, pro?

You lost them both? Yeah, one in 2012 and then one in 2014. Both to cancer? Both to cancer, yeah. Two different type of cancer. And my mom thought it, was able to fight it

for two years with chemo, but it makes them so weak that you can't, you could tell, you know, like that there's something's wrong with them. Yeah. And so like, Even if they're just letting him talk to her, you know, like that chemo starts wearing the body down. Like you said, the double-edged sword, you don't tell her and try to keep her from being hurt.

But if something, God forbid, he passes away, then she's going to be really hurt. That nobody told her anything that she wasn't able to see him like one last time, you know? Yeah, true. So, I mean, I personally think that they should let her know break it for easy. but let her know, you know, like that he's fighting, and hopefully he makes it, you know. How many of their siblings were there? Because you said that they didn't tell you.

There's six of us, siblings, brothers and sisters, but we have all of us had kids at the time. At the time. So you're older, but you kind of saw it. I'm the youngest out of my siblings, and then they all have like kids. they're younger also like my niece and nephews. But how old were you in like in 2012 and 2014?

I was 22, I believe. 20 and my oldest ones were my oldest brothers. So did they tell you? No? No, they didn't really have to tell us. My dad went to the hospital saying he was sick. But when we went to go visit him, when we finally found out he was sick, he had stage four, I think you could tell already that at peace,

doing all the chemo like he's struggling and you know like what about she wants to see him you know like from hearing his voice one last time then to see him one last time you know opinion obviously yeah and your opinion this speaks volumes thank you so much for calling him bro i appreciate you no i agree i i agree with with um having to tell her my brother when i was a 17 years old he had cancer and my mom also didn't tell me like the seriousness of it of how like serious it was. It kind of kept it like vague. And then me being 17 and, you know, like at that age,

you're just kind of worried about friends and going out. I didn't realize until later that I watched this movie, it was like Seth Rogen and his friend and they were going through it. When I watched that movie, I really like, I don't know, something hit me. And then I had this guilt of like, man, I can't believe. Like, you know, thank God my brother's still alive and still here. But I had this guilt. And I called them after the movie and I'm like, dude, I'm sorry.

like I wasn't present I was selfish and you know in this moment I feel like Melissa is going to carry this guilt down the line and if God forbid he does pass she's going to feel it and if the sister ends up holding a grudge

or resentment over it it's going to be on her because of their connection and right now Melissa is dealing with it because if she does tell her little sister her mom may be as angry at her for doing that Right. You know, and so she's got to deal. Right now, who do I deal with that's going to hate me?

Yeah. My mom for going against her word, which again, it seems like she's just so much of other people, which is beautiful. Right. Beautiful thing to be, but it's such an unfortunate time to be this way. Yeah, for sure. We all wish you support, and we give you our support, Melissa. And I know this may not even answer your questions, but I do think at least you got to hear from other people that went through it, that learned later, learned when they were. We're kids, how they learned.

You got a hospital resource and someone who lost both their parents. All stories valuable because they give you some insight into what you're currently dealing with right now. Yeah. So I appreciate you so much. Thank you for sticking around with us. I know that was very, very, very much a real life situation. And it's happening. It's happening with her and everywhere looking at the phone calls that are still blowing up.

Yeah. We can only, we can't, we got to give away some tickets. I need a shot. Let's get into some bow jangles by Pitbull, perhaps. That's a good one. Biving up the mood a little bit. We got Universal Studios, Hollywood, Halloween Horror Nights tickets. Do you want to perform that?

If you guys still need scares Hit our guy up Scrolling with all me Oh my gosh This goes to all our Facebook Diestos Just anyone that we love That happens to be

Swade by videos they see online Is it convincing? You can consider convincing Sometimes convincing Sometimes not But also it's like If you just believe it to be true or if someone tells you about the video.

Golable. Yeah. Gollable. Yeah. Gollable. It can spread fast like telephone. Like, yeah, I've seen this video the day.

Yes. And then it's true. It's all of a sudden, the vaccine makes magnet stick to your arm. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's like, oh yeah, of course.

Does it happen? No, it doesn't happen. No, it doesn't happen. I feel like you told me that. I didn't tell you that. She did. Shut up. You told me that you bought something to shower

that pulled out the magnets. What? That's a lie. You need to go to the doctor for that. lie that's like. I was talking about that. No, we're talking about the COVID vaccine. Now you're bringing that up. Yeah. COVID vaccine is the whole thing that magnets literally stick to your skin or a quarter. Yeah, that something actually sticks to your skin. I was telling you that yes, there are sometimes metals in vaccines, period, right? Yeah. That are in there for some reason. I don't know if it's to keep whatever the...

Mercury. No, what is it called the... Because of a vaccine is a kind of a virus already. It's just like a weakened form, but maybe to keep it encapsulated or to keep it, whatever, right? So one thing that I do after the boys get vaccines is that I do a special bath that can help remove toxins and any type of metal from the body. I don't know if it's true or not. I saw it on someone's blog and I did it. It's dichotomous earth. It's the Aztec clay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And it's Epsom salt. You mix it, you put a bath, you sit them in there, which is also similar. If you work out too hard, you should take an Epsom bath because it helps relieve injuries and pain and all of that. So this bath is also for you. sometimes their arms hurt and feel a little bit sore after vaccines or whatever. Yeah. That it helps to remove all of that. Got it. Do not fake news me, Mr. Sir.

Yeah. Do not fake news me. Thank you for the information again. It wasn't me that believes that me don't stick to you like manis. It was my sister-in-law. She got it from church. Oh, my God. Pray Facebook church.

One of those groups. I want to take a bubble bath. You should. Yeah. Girl. Your sister isn't the only one. falling for stuff on online. More fake news!

That's not my best friend. All right, more fake news. People are following for videos of the Pope online that is getting over 9 million views and there's so many videos of them. The Pope Pope? Yes, the Pope, the Pope were up right now. Pope Leo. Okay.

There's videos of him talking about different stuff and there's a whole actually YouTube channel that they had to take down and there's over 16 videos on there. You can't find them right now because they're trying to They took him now, as they should. After one after another, after another. Just say at least 26 channels are posting AI-generated videos of him right now.

Wow. Yeah, and he's one of the most important figures in the world. Mm-hmm. The world, Craig. I'm seeing that Lulac on Instagram, which is a site that puts out great news content, said a fake video recently went viral in Spanish showing Pope Leo. Is it the 10th for 14? 14th? 14th.

saying supportive women are rare. It was a deep fake and the real clip is from his first mass. But before it was taken down, the fake racked up 9.6 million views. So then you hear the Pope saying, Supportive women are so rare. And then it's like it wasn't true. And it got to the point where the- He didn't say that?

No, he didn't do it. What's wrong with that? Yeah. What's wrong with him saying that? Because they're not rare. We're everywhere. Everywhere. We're supportive.

You're a girl supportive, right, Vick? Yeah. You're a girl supportive. Very supportive. That's not rare. Yeah, no, it's not rare. All right, there you go. So what you tried to say?

Then, yeah. It even got to the point where the Pope came out and started talking about AI and how we should be using it as a tool instead. Which one? There's two things up in here. There's two things that say scrolling up in here. The one that doesn't say speaking Spanish. Okay, perfect.

It must not be forgotten that artificial intelligence functions as a tool for the good of human beings, not to diminish them, not to replace them. What is emerging is, in fact, a significant challenge, one that calls for great attention and foresight in order to project also in the context of new scenarios, healthy, fair, and sound lifestyles, especially for the good of younger generations. Okay, Pope. Yeah.

That's always talks so. That's Shytown's finest right there. Yes, he is. So that was real. That's real. That's real. See, this is why? How do we know this is real?

They came out talking down on a, I'm not down, but like, hey, use it for this purpose. Okay. After they saw how AI was being used to deep fake the Pope. It's actually there is a percentage that on this, excuse me, on this profile that I saw, Lulak, like I'm telling you on Instagram, saying the intersection of Latino Catholics makes them especially vulnerable targets to deep fake footage. Okay? Only 30% of misleading Spanish posts get flagged.

They said the AI video of the Pope was in Spanish, saying that the supportive women rare to see only 30% that means that that there's 70% of Spanish content that's not real that it doesn't get flagged so you got to think that self circulates because maybe like the rules are set up for like English speaking videos or it's easier to catch on these platforms that were made here in America like Facebook and such right I believe it my girl's mom always has fake she's like loaded on fake news so this is part of it this means false messages in Spanish often spread unchecked, as would it be what the Pope said in this video that had 9.6 million views before it was taken down on YouTube. Some of the pieces are that like, yeah, I guess we only got like a blurb of what he said because it's taken down, but it can get really scary.

Yeah. Especially like it's a Pope. It's a Pope. You're not going to think it's fake. Wait, they're all El Papa? The ones that were fake for this specific. Not all of the fake content. They're saying there's fake. content in Spanish?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. More than likely 70% of it is going to slide through without getting flag or someone reporting it. So you may learn things or your mom or your sister or your Tia that no one never really checks. Yeah. Real or fake. At this point, we need like people that make videos, especially somebody important as a Pope, hold up a newspaper and a photo of your ID. Just like, all right, this is today, this is me. This is actually me.

Yeah, you can fake that. Yeah, you can fake that too. Nothing is safe. It's not. Nothing is. You know it's wild. Even when AI first came a thing, like last year maybe? Yeah, something like that.

When the photo AI became a thing, it was the Pope that they a-Ied. The Pope is like, with the chain, huh? Yes. Oh, yeah. With the bubble jacket? Yes. He's like the first person that AI gets a hold of is let's go after the Pope. Which is wild.

Yeah. Oh, but he did have a long chain that was real. But it wasn't a bling, bling down. Yeah, no. And he didn't have the all-white puffer. We're giving him a lot of credit, though. He's, like, dripped out. And he'll be having seven fingers on one hand either.

I'm not going to lie. I thought the pictures of him and the Chicago's white talk set was AI. I didn't think that was actually him. Oh, no, this new pope. Yeah, this new pope. All right. Oh, okay. More misinformation.

The Pope I'm talking about another Pope. The last Pope. Too bad Pope. Then Shite Town, Shite Town Pope. Yes. That was definitely him. He's new. He's a new Pope.

That's the new guy. Yeah. I thought it was AI. I was like, why would the Pope be wearing a white socks? He's in Chicago. He's in Chicago. Isn't he supposed to support all teams? No?

I don't know. No? I don't know. Especially not the Padres. See, that's all I'm saying. I was being a haters. I was like, why can't you wear a Padres? Okay.

Well, that's what's going down. If you see your mom coming to you with the video of the Pope, with something in Spanish, just be very careful. Especially, and just with Spanish content in general, unfortunately, you got to be the fact checker. Yeah. There's no little notes section that it's AI altered or any of that. To know that 70% of our posts and stuff like that in Spanish. Don't if it's fake that doesn't get checked it's pretty well pretty pretty well There's chis me though and there's a congratulations we have to do and this is not AI this is not fake no it's real you guys the rumors were true about Cardi B la Cardi being pregnant

Congrats you her she is she confirmed it that she's actually expecting her fourth baby with her boyfriend's the fun Another bag all right what do you mean another bag God dog she's you know another bag She's probably richer than Stefan Diggs You think so? Yeah Yeah, okay Yeah

Another bag I think she's like You know, I've said Is my close personal friend Oh my God I think she's rich I'm certain that she's richer Than him

Yeah so it's like No not in that scenario But In all respect to us All the stereotype was true About her always being in court I'm pregnant though Yeah

What do you mean stereotype I never heard that thing Yeah they said online Like they're like Dude Cardi B is either Always pregnant Or yeah Orrin in court, and she was.

She also had a lot of babies. Yeah. Shout to her, though. And they'll even dating for about a year? Well, I think they went public, like maybe four months ago. Yeah, they said reportedly. Yeah, I can't judge. I was pregnant after.

Yeah. I was pregnant after three months, bro. So I can't judge. Yeah. Yeah, it happens. We move quickly when they're fertile grounds. Okay. It was meant to be.

Get married. Yeah, I'm sure. She has to get divorced first. I think they're not divorced. Oh, you're finally. Yeah. That also happens. That also happens.

Just a formality. What an example is being set. What? What? What a great. Yeah, you should have got married. Get married and do the right way. I don't know.

I was a teen mom. All the little girls out there. Say it. Say it. Say it. I don't know. I was a teen mom, so I'm not the best example either. Oh, yeah.

It's okay. It's okay. We're not. Get married and then have a baby. Go to college. Is that how you do? Concrete, you got married and then had the babies? That's exactly how I did it, Angie.

So everybody be like concrete. Yes. An honest man, real man. I love it. Pure thoughts. Pure thoughts. Yeah, it's the Dios of Khan. Purest.

Follow him. For favor. Okay. But congratulations to work. And you have working her up because when it comes to rap and like even recent times, before she got pregnant with her first child culture, you wouldn't see really like, the pregnancy wouldn't really be. out there, maybe the announcement.

You know, the closest we got was like maybe Beyonce, and it was kind of quiet as kept. She was very out there, like, when she first got pregnant with culture, and I hadn't seen that previously. There's a conversation of if you're a rapper, you can't. You got to pick one. Or, like, if you're a career person, you got to pick one. And she was just like, yeah, I'm going to do this music while I had this kid in me,

all right? So you're going to deal with it. Second album's dropping, got another kid. Screw it. Yeah. No, all jokes aside, though, it seems like she's really happy, so I'm happy for one. Oh, no, she really is. they even asked her, I'm like, are you thinking of marriage already?

And she's like, well, yeah, I'm like a hopeless romantic. So maybe it'll happen. But I'm also thinking I'm like, she just announced her tour and she just announced the pregnancy. Like, how is that going to? She can still do it. No, I'm just wondering. It's a lot. Yeah.

It's a lot of pressure. And I think she has the challenge ahead of her. Yeah. And it's probably going to be wild. Have the baby on stage. When does it start? It starts next year. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, the tour starts this year. She has time. I don't know, Cardinal's wife gave birth to their baby, and like two weeks later, it was at the fight looking, boom!

Yeah. It's pretty crazy. I'm not too worried about that. You know, she performed with a baby in front of her or something, like she could figure it out. The tour starts in February.

Yeah. So, yeah. Okay, so there's time. I'm sure she mapped it out correctly. Yeah. True, you're right. More girl stuff? Ice spice.

Ice spice was going down with her. Yes, you guys, remember how like Ice Spice and Nick and Mnash, they were like really good friends, right? They were besties. Yes. Seems like it. Princess Dana.

Yes. They did. And then all of a sudden, like, they had a fallout and we really didn't know exactly what happened. Like, I know there was, like, rumors about one thing or another. But actually, I Spice just confirmed that it had to do because Nikki wanted to sign her. And just like I Spice wanted the lawyers to handle it. Like handle the business. Like, the business people handle the business.

Well, I really let, like, our lawyers. Well, I tried to, like, really let our lawyers, like, handle everything and, like, our managers. but I was already signed when she was trying to sign me. So I think that's where like the hiccups were. So it looks like, or what she's confirming is that it was because of a record deal that their friendship just like fell out. Yeah, and that's not her fault. It's like you might have just, Nikki, might have just discovered her late, you know? Perhaps.

And as far as I know, Ice Spice is like signed to like three different entities. So it's like one more. Like enough, enough. Sorry, you can't split this pie anymore. Yeah, so she went on to explain that part. Because it was like really no room anymore at that point to make like a new deal. I'm signed to two labels. So that was already like a thing.

But she understood y'all. It's all love and it's just like, it's the industry. Well, yeah, it's all of like always. I still look up to her that's she's mother. I don't know you can sign to two labels like that. Different things. Yeah. Okay.

There's distribution. There's, I don't know. Publishing. Mm-hmm. Make a little piece. Yeah, I'm not going to pretend like that. I don't know. I don't know all that's like.

And what else? Okay, but either way, like, Nikki doesn't follow her anymore. And I know, like, Ice Spice is over here saying, like, it's all love. But I don't think Nikki's going to like the way that Ice Spice is praising Cardi B. I feel like Cardi B definitely, like, brought back that hope of, like, girls could rap. You know what I mean? Because for a long time, like, Nikki seemed so, like, unattainable. And, like, you know, that's part of the lore, too.

Yes. Of why I was so obsessed. Because I'm, like, only she could do it. it. Dude, and then add to that, like, Ice Spice doesn't even follow Nicky and Minaj, but she follows Cardi B. Yeah. It's a little little thing on.

Cardi B seems like a people's champ, you know what I'm saying? She is a people person. Yeah. And Cardi and Ice Spice already had their little Twitter spat, too. They did. It's like the picture. Yeah. And they went back and forth, and this is just, it's a never-ending cycle.

It is. Yeah. Hopefully they all team up together and do like a posse cut, like Ladies' Night or something. That would be cool. They're like, Mulan Rouge, the Mulan Rouge record. Goochie, guichy, young, dun, dun, da. Gr. One of my favorite artists is coming out on new music,

and I had to bring this up because he's one of our very own from San Pedro. Our guy, Miguel, he has not dropped an album in eight years. Ocho Año's, like, and I love his angelic voice. I love what he's done in his own, his collo's with Jake Cole, too. He's just one of our, one of my favorite singers. You know, and he chose this time to come out with a new song, and I really appreciated, especially him being half black and half Mexican and understanding, like, the state that we're in right now.

Check this up. Oh, yeah. Cluesa on the frontier, the frontier, no, close. Oh, yeah. The mizma song of corona that my life. I'm a lot of feet. It's a son. Very light

Out of the video That goes along with it Brownback Mornings 106 I just love hearing Miguel's voice And you know he's taking the time I think there's like video footage of him Going back to Mexico With his pops is really really tight

To kind of see him embrace that And I'm sure living out here you got to In his first album he also has song to where he's like, you know what, I'm not this enough for the Mexicans. I'm not this enough for the black homies. And he always felt like that duality of like, what do I do? And I know like him just being like, I'm going to just come out and do a song. Yeah, I appreciate that.

All his music makes me want to go like, ah, ha, ha, ha. This is about. Not even. Yeah. He's about immigration. Literally. The frontier. He's saying, I didn't cross the border.

The border crossed me. And then even. Ah, ha. And I was going to say, even with this song, like, he collabed with, like, actual Mexico. So I don't know if, like, it's, like, a new song. With actual Mexico? Like, Mexico's, like, yeah, the country, like. He collab with the country?

Well, you have to see it. No, you explain it. Okay, so on the post, he collab with, like, like, like, like, the Instagram. Mexico Instagram. Oh, I thought Mexico was a primary artist. With Mexico's official Instagram account. Got that Mexico feature. Yeah.

I just collared with a whole country, bro. He did. You're right. You're right. My English no good sometimes. I love it. I love it. I love it.

Let's go to you over there. What's your name? Vic. Victor. Vic. Yes. Look, the clippers are cooked, you guys. So they're currently under investigation for defrauded NBA by paying Kauai Leonard, their star player,

more than the salary cap allows. So it's like a maximum salary cap every year that they could earn. He got paid around $45 million in 2022. but he supposedly wanted more, right? So now they paid him more supposedly, and now potential penalties are coming down and they're saying that Kauai Leonard's contract might be void, which would make him a free agent.

That's crazy. And I think that's extreme because when this story first came out, essentially they got a budget, how much they could spend on their team. They know Kauai wanted more, so they started adding a little extra stuff. They said they faked an endorsement from a tree company and said, hey, this fool's going to be like on the board or something. He got paid without ever doing lifting one finger picking up one leaf Cutting down one tree

You go to the tree company that's supposed to sponsor him They didn't even do a commercial None of that, none of that, right? He did all of that and so they're like, oh yeah, this is like a shell company It's not real you guys are circumventing the actual rules and bylaws or whatever But it said that there was just a fee for that Like they're just supposed to pay a fee for from not doing the contract right There's a fine of up to $350,000 potentially

But also they could record. Require him to return $28 million that he received from that other company that he wasn't. From the shell company. Yeah, from the shell company. You want to really hurt him? Make him play a whole season. Why he don't play? No, he don't play.

Really? Guy. No, he skips every other game. What? Well, that's the ultimate, hold on, that's the ultimate slacker then. I make you pay so much money to have me and then I just chill. He was a weird. He's a weird.

He's a weird. He's a web one. He was a web one. What happened? So look, this is what happened. I'm going to tell Los Angeles right away. He pulled up the first time to Aspiration when I was running the company. And then I saw him tweak his leg, so I sent him home.

I was like, you never have to show up again. I'll cut all these trees. Oh, gosh. So you're trying to take the flame. So you are aspiration. I am aspiration. Los Angeles, LA County Police, Adam Silver. I am lost.

I am aspiration. No, no. Take me. Not at all. Take me. I did it. Why? It's because he wants to take the rap so Co-White can stay on his team and not play.

You're gonna second. Why doesn't you just want a hard reset maybe? No, I did it. You don't even know you, dog. No. That's fine. You just shoot me, you know, a couple of mail on the side. Oh, here we go.

Here we go. He's actually better off leaving the team. Yeah. You don't talk about my friend like that. The team is probably better off with him leaving. But they're also, the Clippers also my face penalties of up to $7.5 million in fines. It's nothing. They might forfeit, make them forfeit draft picks.

Oh. And they could suspend the owner Steve Ballmer. for up to a year and find them $1 million each person Oh God for him. Okay, that is here. And actually Steve Balmer, when he heard the news,

he had a comment on it. Listen to this. Yeah, he's in terror. What is that? He's screaming. Oh, that was it real? You know what, Steve needs a vacation. He works too hard.

It's okay, Steve. Take the vacation. One year is fine. One year. What it do, baby? That's what he did. That's what he did? What he's a free agent?

Who wants to pay me extra, extra? He pulled it to the tree company. What it do, baby? Shut of Hawaii. It might be really bad for them. You're going to be a Laker soon. Shut up. Possibly.

So we'll see this is an official. Yeah. He could be. We're trying to get rid of one guy right now. LeBron. What? We don't want LeBron? LeBron plays.

Get him out of here. Get him out of here. No, no, no, no. He hasn't even gone deep into the playoffs. But he plays. He gives his heart out. LeBron. Concrete wants you to go deep.

You're not going deep enough, LeBron. Tell him to go deeper. Go knee deep, my boy. So if we get rid of LeBron, what's happening? You guys have to feed me my opinion. Nothing. I will, I'll, you know, well, they can. No, like, what's the move?

You want to get rid of LeBron and then get who or what? What's the answer? I don't know the answer. Oh. I don't work there. But right now you're like, we're trying to give her the other guy. Yeah, give her to everybody. And then what?

Is it the answer, Brani? What about Luca? I don't know. We need to bring back Kobe somehow, man. Ronnie. There we go. You know what, man. Get in Coyone out of the Kobe?

I get emotional. When it comes to Kobe, dog, like, he's my brother or something, dog. I really do.
