Brown Bag Mornings - Ep. 649 (Full Episode) Solidarity with the Community | Brown Bag Mornings (01/30/26)

Episode Date: January 30, 2026

The crew navigates a hilarious Homie Helpline for a stay-at-home dad whose "me time" involves wiggling his toes under a blanket while his kid is at daycare, leading the squad to suggest he just tell his family he’s out "fighting dragons". The "studious fools" also provide a space for solidarity during the nationwide protest, discussing the "wild and wrong" arrest of journalist Don Lemon and the importance of media acting as a megaphone for the truth.

Yo, before the episode starts, leave a like, drop a comment, leave a review, and yes, subscribe so you don't miss any brownback mornings. 9-106, LA's number one for hip-hop. Buenos Aires. Good morning to you. Like, I'm Leti right here with my brownback crew. We got Greg. We have concrete. We have Angelica.

And we have Victorino. But most importantly, we have you listening. Whether you are at home right now, whether you're in the car right now, you're at the hymn right now. You're leaving her house and his house undetected right now. Whatever you're doing this morning, I want you to know that we're with you. Also very aware of the nationwide protest that's going on. And I would like to take it upon myself to tell you that we are here for you as well. We've contemplated our own position in this.

I know I have personally. And I think seeing, if you haven't seen the reports already, news anchor Don Lemon, he got arrested this morning in Los Angeles for covering a protest and was arrested by federal agents. I'm going to read a statement from his attorney who said Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy Awards. Don has been a journalist for 30 years and his constitutionally protected work in Minneapolis was no different than what he has always done. The First Amendment exists to protect journalists whose role it is to shine light on the truth and hold those in power. accountable. There's no more important time for people like Don to be doing his work.

Now when I read that a couple of things strung my mind because of course we're here to make things light for you but to do something like that to a journalist like that's wild and wrong. That's us. Oh yeah. Media is probably the first form of journalism. Yeah. Yeah. Before excuse me radio. Before there was TV, before there was internet, before the social media, it was radio. And so I just thought it be important today. to be here with you all and to allow space. For you to call in and tell us how you feel. For you to call in and tell us a song you want to hear.

For you to call in and just connect to who we are as Brown Bag. And for us to be allowed to give you the resources that you need. We know a lot of people are protesting. We know a lot of people can't. And honestly, if you woke up uneasy or have been waking up uneasy, I know I wake up uneasy every day. My dad steps out that door over his well-being, over my well-being. over my well-being and for over our children and my husband's well-being.

I'm sure you guys feel the same. Oh, yeah. That, I guess, it's just moving my spirit to leave today for you. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Like you said, let me think the Don Lemon stuff is insane to me. Apparently, it was over him covering the stuff in Minneapolis days earlier. Also, I start to think about how he had a back and forth with Nikki Minaj not too many days ago, right?

And then Nikki is with Trump. you know yesterday the day before yeah I'm trying to like is this how things are going now like people get pointed out and singled out like hey I don't like him mr. Trump can you take him into federal custody like is it really that easy to you know get people behind bars these days just for doing their job that's insane that's scary that's threatening to the freedom quote unquote of media and this country and that's what scary Vic is that you know granted we've had hell of presidents before Trump, all presidents get criticized. And most often it's by the other side.

Like Obama was in office, bro, he could have wore a tan suit and then other reporters were on his head. Imagine if those reporters got arrested for that. Yeah. That doesn't happen and it shouldn't happen. You got reporters that go to war and they have certain rights so that they do not get hurt or prosecuted because they are covering what's happening in the world when you wear that press badge.

at different areas. And they might be showing some crazy things, but that's the only way the world gets to see those things. And again, they have these protections to them in order to be the ones that show things. So for Don Lemon to go through that, for this to be the moment that it is, if you do not see it as a sign,

then I believe you are choosing blindness. I believe you are choosing it. 100%. I've read books that's like, oh, you can't speak out about the government and they take people and they disappear and all this stuff. And it's like, that was a fantasy book I was reading. I never thought that would be nonfiction.

Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's insane to me. So keep it here because we are going to be here. We are going to be with you all morning long. We do have tickets to give away. We don't want it to be as heavy as it is. It is very heavy.

But we want to give you these. What's up, bro? You're pointing. Yes, just to light in the mood a little bit. Angie, she read it. And she's like, oh, my God. What do they do to Don Limon? Hi, Angelique.

Ha ha ha, Victor I didn't say that Lemon is limon in Spanish I read it in Spanish I read it in Spanish Because I read it Spanish When it's broadcasted on Univision and I'll probably say don't limon

It probably Look we know it's a heavy day We know it's a heavy year Shoot we know it's a heavy life man Yes But we're here for you And we're trying to make the best of it And in light of this day

I do want to make mention And still show love and support Because here I will just speak for myself personally and you guys are feel free to chime like interrupt me when you need to or want to. I don't want to judge people but I just want to love on people. Pause. There's a lot of people that are afraid right now. There's a lot of people

that are panicked right now. Anxiety. You wake up. It's weird. You're worried about your family members. Those are the people I specifically would like to wrap my arms around today and just show you at least in solidarity how I feel about you. there is a general strike going down across the nation where people were asked to participate but we know that's not possible. Not for everyone.

People want to work. It's like, hey, I see the comment. Are you going to pay for my day off at work? Totally understandable. I do see that there are other ways that if you'd like to participate in the general strike that's happening, that you can. You know, one thing that's going down out here in Los Angeles is there are a lot of vendor buyouts. We see it all the time.

because contrary to popular belief, it's still happening out here in Los Angeles very much. So I believe a couple days ago was probably, and I got to big up to L.A. Taco, their social media account has been very on top of the daily happenings of these raids. And they've counted, I believe, the past couple of days have been really, really harsh on us, but it's just been silent and under the radar,

which they've probably figured out the strategy. Probably. Hit multiple places often versus one place heavy so that it doesn't make as big quote unquote a scene. Yeah. But these things are very much still happening out here. And there's a lot of vendor buyouts because clearly the venue, you pass by sometimes. There's a vendor cart that's empty. Yeah.

Yeah. I've seen that. So there's different ones. There's one in Echo Park and we're going to put it on our on our Instagram page. There's an Echo Park vendor support fund. There is, excuse me, a West Side vendor buyout. Because according to this post a couple days ago, I launched nine raids in the span of two hours. So a lot of the West Side Street vendors were a primary target for kidnapping, which left families without their loved ones.

If you feel so inclined to give five bucks, to give ten bucks, we're going to post it on our Instagram account so that you can do that. There's also like you're not supposed to be like shopping to show like how strong our dollars. Yeah. I'm eating, I'm drinking this. What is this, Jose? Unsweet, black, cold brew coffee. Stock coffee. One of the best ones ever made.

God, I don't even know where the date is. But I'm like, dang, I can't buy you a coffee. It's cracked. It's cracked. Just drinking straight out of the bottle. She has been drinking straight out the bottle. It's one of those days, huh? Yeah, that's actually poured into small cups.

Yeah. Oh, no. I mean, you're rich. There you go. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I don't know how that's drank. Let's see,

you were already taking swigs. Just keep it going. Just not a feel. Don't move lots of shots now. Just like my deal for real. Have you ever had that day in your house where like you go to the fridge, you open it, you see there's nothing there? And then you go back 10 minutes and you're looking again. Yeah.

Like if something will show up, all of it is just weenies. Yeah. Sometimes it does show up. Sometimes you miss it the first time. That's what happens. That's why we go back. Oh, there goes. To me, it's like how many times you have to open it to like finally give into the whini?

Yeah. Oh, okay. I know. Eat the raw hot dog. That's perfect, though. A little lime and some tapatillo. Let's go. Hey, Uberto, our phone to do you don't go anywhere.

Because while I was digging through our fridge here to see what coffee I could drink, because I couldn't buy today, I see someone has food prepped. What? And I was like, oh, damn, who bought food prep? And then what was your answer? Umberto? Oh, me did a lunche this ma'ana.

Who? What? Me did a lunche. Oh. Oh, he spent the night somewhere. Oh, yeah. Who made you lunch?

Who made you lunch? Is the girl that's your friend? Yeah. My home girl. That's not your friend, buddy. Bro. That's your wife. Hey, can my home girl come?

That's wife. It was full lunch too. It was like, Bojo, potatoes, asparagus. Yeah. Fruits on the side. So he don't have to pay for anything today.

I know. He doesn't. His friend girl got him. When does she? Take it last night or today? Yesterday. Okay. For him for today.

She food prep friends. A friend giving you wife treatment is crazy. You put it down last night, Perl. I went hard. It wasn't even last night because she cooked it last night. So it must have been during the day, you cochine. Wait, hold on. I didn't have questions.

Do you sleep over her creed or was she like in Watts or just walking around? I was like, hey, I got you this. I sleep over her place. I sleep over her place. Oh, my. His friend. Cool, that's your girl. No, they're not.

They're friends. She has kids? I mean, they're a thing. You're walking around, huh? Melvin. You're a little fort, a little homie. Go to sleep. He'll be in the day.

It's the one bedroom. Go to the couch. Me and mommy got to talk. I got to talk to your mom. Yeah? Say so, man. Oh, my God. She's an amazing person.

I want to say thank you, though. Thank you for making that. It meant a lot. She's an amazing person. Valentine's Day is coming up, FYI. Oh, I can't wait for that. That's what he says. Thank you.

What you said? Humby! Say Humby runs L.A. You're crazy. All right. Only all our friends could be like her. You're still putting them work. That's nice.

That's right. That's right. Stay tuned. We got more stuff on the way we got. Angie, please. That's right. Thank you. Come on, Angie.

I know. Concrete just looked at her like, it's your cue. Do you want some of my swig? You got to find those pockets, but, all right. Let's get into the weather, Power 106. And now, the weather. With concrete storm.

Peritos then is going down for the weather, Friday, January, 30th. First, we're off to the city of Santa Ana. If you hurt, baby girl, say Santa Ana, Cola, Carolina. You're 80 and 52 at night. Next, we G-walk to the city of Long Beach, where we grew up smoking that bomb weed. That bomb weed? Long-ee. No. I'm missing a word here.

At missing the words, we'll say Snoop, where Snoop grew up smoking that bomb weed. Oh. And it's, you know. Can we try it? It's Mona's fault. One more time. No, it's not. Our producer is.

She's the one that prints this. You'll write it. Change the print, uh, change the cartridge in the printer. Carthridge. The what? Cartridge. Cartridge. Hey, Pua.

Lastly, we smashed to the far, far city of Eastville. I used to know a perrito named Big Loco. Too bad she was a female. What? That's her prerogative. Oh, my God. You know, it's 80 degrees of 40. You know that people rely on your weather?

Yeah. Yes, I'm telling you right now, Isbel. Hey, shout out to big loco. What's all? Perra. A perro. You're going to be 80 and 48 degrees at night. Trust me, the weather is as confusing as you.

Don't even worry about it. Santa Ana, you're 80 and 52 at night. Long Beach, 77, 52 at night. Arcadia. Macadamia, 78 and 53. Isvale, 80 and 48 at night. So, So,

Homegirl, tuck your nits in. Let's go. Your boy, Congrove Brownback mornings are probably no six. All right, check this out, homie. You need a homie or need some help. We need your help. We need a line.

I mean, phone line. We got you for the homie help line. Ulysses needs our help. Ulysses. Ulysses hit us up and said, okay, Brownbag, I've seen posts about money and relationships, so I wanted help with my situation.

I'm 38. married to a 32-year-old female. Let's call her Sandra. That's right. I've worked since I was 16. I was a foreman in construction for 10 years and other trades. I made some okay money. My wife went to college.

She got her degree while we were dating. And we've been married for three years now and have lived together for six. We have a two-year-old baby girl together. About a year ago, though, she asked me to be a stay-at-home dad. It was a hard change for me for many reasons, but my wife makes a lot of money. My wife makes a lot of money.

So financially, we are great. We're actually set to buy a house in a few months. Wow. Wow. But here's my problem. What's her at? I've got a lot of haters. From family to friends, my boys clown me all the time.

When we hang out on Sundays and they're leaving, they say, I got to go. Some of us got to get up for work in the morning. They all talk their ish and say, I don't know. do anything even though I'm fully capable of working, which is true, I can work, but this works for us as a family. I'm able to watch my daughter and give my wife all the time to work. My mom has even said mean comments to me. She told me, I never imagined the man that I raised would ever stop working. I'm getting guilted by my family and friends, and even my mom for staying home and not working. Am I doing something wrong being a stay-at-home dad, brown bag?

Help me out. I'm jealous. Brother, you're living the dream. He is. He's a trophy husband. He's living the dream, but he's getting judged for it. We talked to him yesterday, and Ulysses did tell us that with his homies, it's playful. It's like, yeah, I thought, oh, yeah, go cook dinner, they'll make fun of him.

But it hurts him when it's from his parents because he feels it's mean-spirited. Like, dang, they really hurt. Yeah. The other one's jokey and then it's the, then there's the mean one. Floho. Mm-hmm. I'm here to defend him as a brother of somebody that is of stay-at-home dad. Okay.

My brother stays at home all the time, takes care of the kids. So I'm here to defend anything that's said against them. Okay. A defender. Yeah. Because your brother goes through it. I get jealous. I'm like, wow, he gets to stay at home and just chill and, you know, watch the kids.

It must be nice. So no one's judging him. I am. You are? Absolutely. I've said this before. Like I grew up with like my neighbor was a stay-at-home dad. His wife went to work.

And I never really respected that guy. Oh, you have said that. Yeah. I would, you know, walk on his lawn. What are you going to do about it? I'm on the fence. You know, like it's just like I never like my dad told me like, lazy guy over there.

Never be him. I'm like, got it. You know? Never be that guy. Literally. And he's like, Never be lazy Dave. He would always tell me.

And I'm just like, yeah. You know, to me, it's just, it's giving up like your power just as a person. You know what I'm saying? You lose, you could lose identity. You could lose purpose unless you find it somewhere. And, you know, we did ask him, how does your girl feel about this? And he's like, she tells me to just kick back. Oh.

I mean, he has to do what she says. I'm on the fence about it. Because I feel like I work a lot. Yeah. But at the same time, I'm like, I'm tired. I get tired too, you know? Yeah. So I'm on the fence about it.

But could you stay home? No. Right? What if you're... Well, not because like... If your wife... No, what I'm saying, like, just in general, like, me personally, like, just me being at home. Like, even if I'm at home, I'm doing something at home.

Yeah. So I'm always working. Yeah. Like I'm cleaning or I'm fixing this or I'm doing that. Like there's really no chilling, you know? Like I feel like I don't find purpose in life just sitting down. Mm-hmm. But if your wife is like, hey, babe, you know, you don't have to work anymore.

I got it, you know. I would still work. Yeah. For you. Yeah. For my little thing. You know what I'm saying. You have a little shop for something.

For my little Botox. Take my nails done. A little home good trip. Yeah. Yeah, my little thing. Yeah. Nice coffee So I grew up with my mom being the breadwinner

And I always thought Like maybe the way that I am Was because of the example I saw Yeah Like I never was like quote unquote Like the gender role stuff Because I saw my mom go out and get it But my dad

Like I loved how he was with myself And my sister granted he worked for himself He's a locksmith And we were stuck with him a lot in the car Like we'd be in the car While he's making keys Or he's at junkyards Or like repossession lots

And stuff like that And like fighting with my sister but it did feel very much like he had us. He took care of us. He made sure we ate. He made sure we were good. Every morning dropping us off, every afternoon picking us up. And you guys know my relationship with my dad is so strong.

Yeah. You know, so I guess like seeing that when there's a kid involved, that kid is going to be so appreciative of you. Hopefully. Hopefully that kid's not just like, screw you, dad. And when how we treats you. But I do see that there's sometimes people like shame that. There's people like look at that. and be like, well, is that even a man?

You know? I just think because of the beginning of the time, it's been like either you're a hunter food or you're a gatherer. Man provide. But even like when my dad being a stay-at home, quote-unquote, or not being the breadwinner, he worked. Like he would take us to his locksmith jobs.

He would figure it out, you know? So I'm wondering for that, is there anything he's doing? And to him is like not like a take care of the kids. He's too busy to call us today, by the way. Yeah, he has like a full schedule. Which is not, look. He's clear his schedule. It's not easy.

It's not. easy being a stay-at-home dad mom like that's that's hard bro like I've tried to need oh oh you have what you've tried to be a stay-at-home dad no like just watch the kids at home for a day or something like the kid by the way is in daycare wait a minute yeah yeah yeah scratch everything I've said he lazy bastard so that he could have his me time you son of a he's he what does he do what's his he has his time I don't know he's busy guy He's a busy guy. Let me find out

who's wiggling his toes under the blanket right now, Don't? He's all like, far too busy. Far too busy. To call. Oh, he, ulyces.

Now I'm judging. So his mom is coming at him like, hey, this isn't the son I raised. Yeah. This isn't the son I raised. He feels like, hey, my girl's cool with it. Am I wrong?

Mom, let me tell you, that's exactly the son you raised. Un floco. Okay? Unue bon. Floco. He said he worked in construction before. This hasn't always been his life.

He worked in construction. Yeah. Probably got hit with a nail or something. Yeah, he said he didn't make a lot of money. Construction? He said that. He was probably on Firewatch. Yeah, he found a way to not make a lot of money because I...

You make a lot of money in construction. No, but he told us how much and it's not too much. It wasn't? No. I thought so, too. Like, that's what I assume when you used to construction. He wasn't constructing. He was doing something else.

No, he was building a fort. What is his... Attorney. Oh, he was. She's an attorney? What? No, that's fine. That's nice.

Which way is it, you guys? Is this something where if you were a stay-at-home dad, you would kind of feel pressure to go back to work because of the way that your family is looking at it? Or are you good? If you and your girl is good, you're good. Angel. Yes. What would you tell him?

I would tell him he needs to stop being on the lawn. Get to work so you can show those kids where the real father needs. to be like in the future because not everybody's going to be lucky like him and have a wife that gets to provide for everybody. What? Wow. No, no, no. Say it again for the real men can hear it.

Angie, go home. Ladies, everybody, girls, go home. Not everybody. They're going to work. Some people, like, I had an injury in 2021. I can't work. I wish I could work and provide for my kids like that. My wife has to pick up the slack.

Right. You should be able to do it. Do you think that if you had that position where you could stay home with your kids, you wouldn't take that opportunity or you would still try to find a way to work? There's still time because the kids are still going to go to school. The kids are school eight hours a day, the same amount of time that we're at work. So it's time to read them out if you really do it, right? And you still see your kids.

You see your kids before you drop them off. You see them before they go to bed. You feed them at home. You give them dinner. You still have time on the weekends. He needs to know those kids in the future to be parents. Not everybody's going to get lucky to have money like that. They're going to get used to just being staying at home kids.

Like, it's not going to be cool. Wow. Because I'm thinking. Stay at home kids. I'm thinking if should the money is good right now. Yeah. But should the money not be so good, then it's kind of, but maybe you're, again, you're comfortable in your position.

Yeah. Of like, would you then or would you step up to like, A, we got to handle it? You have to. I don't. But I feel like if you were that way, you would even. Even though she's got it, you'd still be like, hey, I want to handle it. Like, I want to put it. I want to do contribute somehow.

You know, yesterday we're talking to the old girl, like, let me pay a bill. Let me pay utilities or something. Absolutely. If I was in that position, I would find a way to do something. Yeah. Like, I don't, I mean, like, the guy gets an allowance. Like, that's crazy. I don't know.

I couldn't do that. Maybe my ego's too big, but I feel like I need to contribute something. You know, if my girl makes more money than me, that's fine. I'm going to still be contributing. Right. Taking care of the kids is something It is That's a lot of work, bro

He's just Taking the kids Taking care of the house I agree That's a lot of work That's a lot of work I know I'm safe But I mean

He is not They have daycare Yes but he's not Daycare all day Every day But this is what this guy's That you can take care of the kids

Outside of that moment But in that moment You can work Work on the house Yeah Yeah But he's dude saying Working like a regular job

Maybe we He can also just lie to them Yeah drop them off at school. I'm going to work, guys. And it goes home. You know what I'm saying?

It's volunteer work. I don't get paid. Daddy, what do you do? I fight dragons. I save the city every single day. Just start lying to them. I can't tell you. It's the secret.

The secret. Okay. Okay, let's go to Lorenzo and Downey. Lorenzo. Lorenzo. Lorenzo. We got our stay-at-home dad that hit us up. He's getting guilty.

by his family for doing so and he's feeling a little bit, he's feeling bad about it. His girl makes more money than him and they've decided it'd be better if he just, or not it'd be better. They decided to be cool that he stays home. She decided. She did. Sit down, boy. How should he handle this?

People hating on him. Hating because they ain't him. Hey, guys. No, I get it. I have a two-year-old myself. We're not financially set up. my wife and I, you know, to be able to, you know, one of us stay home. I would love, I would love for my wife to stay home and, you know, raise our kids.

You know, some people are fortunate to get that. You know, if I was in the position where my wife made, like, way more than me, I would for sure stay home. No trip. I would stay home in a heartbeat, why? Because I would love, I want somebody to raise my daughter, whether it be me or my wife, not some stranger in a daycare. Oh. And, you know, I was on this guy's side up until. You know, he, you know, I'd sell bad for him.

You know, I'd rather, like, I'd rather stay with his kid and raise his kid. And then you guys said he takes his kid to daycare because he needs me time. That's what I said. Your kid needs your me time, man. You're tripping. You're going to have safe. You know what I mean? Like, you can't have somebody raised your kid and be like, I'm going to go home and do nothing.

I'm going home to fight dragons, like concrete. They're like, tripping. Yeah. So what should he do in the trouble? I got to do. Tell you what If I was a homie Ulysses And then my wife's like

He wants his mom, STFU, mom, respectfully. Who, a, uh, mom ain't gonna do that, and mom has all the right to go out and clown her boy, because he is not a man. Like, I got no respect to this, but I'm in traffic right now, driving to work, mad, and I was like, I got a call in the brown bag and let him know. That's right. What's he doing right? He's probably laying in bed, drinking coffee, scrolling on his phone. Sounds nice. While the rest of us, men are out here, grinding, driving to work.

Hey, get up, go to work, Doc, because, uh, I'm sorry, man. I'm, I'm sure I'm not the only one out there. I'm sure there's a lot of men out there who just can't respect somebody who is able, body, and willing. I don't even willing. You should be willing if you're an able-bodied man.

You should be working, dog. Yeah, I, that feeling is, do you think that that feeling is really how? you feel or maybe that's just too much pressure on you guys to be that way. No, I mean, you know what? Hey, whatever, man. I'm 40 years old. I was raised by a single mother. I saw what she did and what she had to go through.

And when I was young, hey, my pop passed away when I was seven. When at the funeral, they told me as a young kid, and you're the man of the house now. Yeah. That affected me hard. And I carried that with me to this day. Hey, I haven't been great. You know, I've struggled. but I have built myself up to the man I am today

and it's because of hard work. Wow. There we go. Thank you so much, Tim, for calling you. I think I have to do a lot with... We appreciate you for calling them, bro. Your brethren, DJ Eman's coming up at 840. Yes.

Filipino. Shout to Filipino. Okay. You think what, bro? I think it has to do a lot with, like, just encoded DNA. Like, women tend to be motherly when it comes to children. Nurturing, you know, when it comes to the household, taking care of the kids, the whole deal.

and I think DNA encode has just been man and go out there and get it and get it, you know? So I don't think it has nothing to do with personality or nothing like that. I just think, and then some dudes just don't have it. Just like there's mothers that just are not motherly, you know? Completely well said. I guess the thing too, like these quote unquote roles,

they're not one size fits all, bro. And even like the encoder that you meant, like we've modernized so much that kind of like we're being shaped into, like we're evolving. Yeah. Women are evolving in how much bread they make and what they do in their position. So are men. Yeah. And I guess for men who go out and get it, seeing a man stay home when, like you said, it's embedded in you and you feel like, no, we got to go out and it just, it's hitting a wall.

It's like this isn't even registering to us. Yeah. I did say though, like growing up, not for nothing con. My dad was the one that stayed at home, but he also worked. Hustled. Like to me, I never saw both of those things be one or the other. Yeah. My mom was the one that was having like the 9 to 5, the like the office job.

My dad was the locksmith self-employed, but the one that was picking us up, making dinner, taking us to school. That's his lifestyle. Other people would say those things are like the girls role, you know? So that's kind of always saw it different. And it seems like he, he, me even seeing that, it's like, okay, you could do that. You could still find a way to do something. Yeah.

And I bet you respect to your dad so much because he did it all. Yeah. Yeah. He hustled and was doing the stuff. home. So it's like, it's not a either or it's like, no, this dude. You got to, like, even if you stay, even if you're there, you still got to do something about it. Yeah. I do want to talk to stay at home dads. I know they're, they're home. They're really busier. So I would love to. Okay. Let's see. Let's see. Okay. So let's go to

Pedro and Linwood. What's up, Pedro? Good morning, brown bag. Pedro. I've talked to us. You're a stay at home dad, bro? I'm a stay at home dad. I've been a stay-at-home dad since my child was two, two and a half, he is now five. Awesome. I'm currently outside of Mass where my son is at because it goes to private school. Oh, okay. I'm a, two of you in the studio right now know who my son is. Whoa.

And you guys will find out who he is. Oh, okay. I'm scared. I'm scared. I'm stay-at-home dad. Not by choice because I got sick. I got sick just at the right time because there was nobody to raise my child.

And you don't become a man by waking up at 5 in the morning and commuting to work because women do the same thing. Women can be strong. So a man, you can show your child what to be a man at home. I show my son finance. I show my son independence, how to be strong, how to be structured. Whenever I have to build something at home, whether it's pouring concrete, framing something up, my son is there with the power so he knows the safety.

of power tools. And I'm going to, I'm going to name drop right now, but my son, he makes cakes on the side. So his name is Celazia. Yeah. By Victor saying, oh, he knows. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So my son knows finance.

He knows independence. He knows structure because he sees it from me and he sees it from his mom. His mom goes to work, and she also works after work. She sees people on the side. Oh, damn. I go home after we drop my son off from school, I go home, and it's hard because it's one child. Yeah, that's tough. I do the laundry.

I cook, I clean. I scrubbed that restroom. Like if I'm a Marine, I got to leave it clean because it's two boys and one woman in the house. I got to have that house ready because of my wife comes home and is not ready. She's overwhelmed. And it's the same thing with men. When you come home and your wife's just sitting there, not doing anything, you get overwhelmed. Yeah.

But my son sees everything. And it's great because I'm growing up with him, and most of us didn't have fathers growing up that were in the picture. Who was taking you to little? Your grandma, your mom, your cousin was walking me to the park. But no, I go with my son to all his sports, all his sports events, and now to all of his events on the weekends when we're pop-ups, we do things together at home.

I'm there for him. So the day he grows up, he can play to say, hey, my dad was always there. I remember that my dad with me in pre-k. So it's the struggle. Your son gets to see it, and he's real structure. And when he grows up, he's going to take that into his home with his children. I want to be there for my kids.

But again, it wasn't his choice. Yeah, he got sick, right? And he hustles. He does. He has a business. You got sick? Like, at work or something or what? We were already talking about that.

Oh, even before you got sick, you were already talking about that. We were already in those discussions who's going to take care of? And honestly, like, understanding that child care is expensive, I could see a couple saying, hey, let's stay home, like you stay home so that that is a cost that we kind of don't have. But at the same time, and then I guess understanding that Ulysses has that child care also taken care of by a wifie that can get in the way. I do like the point that he makes it doesn't take going to work. to prove you're a man. You can also do it in other ways.

Yeah. You know? Yeah. But I do say like understanding he has taken on the whole homemaker role. Yeah. Oh yeah. You know? I'm going to cook.

I'm going to clean. I'm going to rub. He also works around the house too. Yeah. That's going to be something that you have to deal with inside yourself too. And he does pop-ups on the weekend. They make really good cakes. You know, they're cool.

Like I, but that kind of like, you know, proves the theory of like you got to do something. still too. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So he does it all. Yeah. The dad is dedicating his whole life to that son though. Exactly. Let's go to Mike in East Vale. Mike, good morning, Mike. Eastvale. How are you doing? Mike, you were a stay-at-home dad as well. We're talking about our homie Ulysses. He's getting judged a lot by his family. They're saying mean-spirited things to him because he's the stay-at-home dad. His wife and him, they figured out she's an attorney. He's taking care of the kid. The kid does have child care so he can have some me time. That's his words. But he wants to know like how does he deal with the judge?

he's getting from his family? To me, I think that's going to get worse. And the reason I say that is in my experience, when I was taking care of my daughter, excuse me, it's kind of hard to kind of talk about it because it brings up a lot of bad feelings. I'm sorry. They're my extra good now.

We're cool. But at that time, I was working. I was the one going to work. My job at that time was I was a software trainer in the car business. So I would travel every week. I'd be gone, but I'd be home on the weekends. Made good money.

So everything was good. She just paid the bills. I did the job. She'd stay home. The original plan when she got pregnant was her sister was going to take care of our daughter because she didn't want any strangers taking care of her. So that was the plan. We both were going to work.

Okay. And family was going to take care of our daughter. her. Well, that plan fell through. And so she ended up staying home. That's fine. Okay, I paid the bills. And as things went on, she got, she felt like she didn't have any grown up time. So she was like, I want to go back to work. Okay. She wanted me to stay home. Okay, because she didn't want her sister because she failed on the plan. So she wanted me to stay home because she didn't want anybody else to take care of her daughter. Fine. I did that. Left my job. Stayed. home. During that time, it was about three years into it. She started getting, I guess,

push back from her family, from her friends at work. And it was a big deal about you're taking care of your husband. He stays home. You know, they made it a big, there was a big stigma about it. And Grant, now looking at it from that stuff, her family had money. So it was easier for her to make this decision than it was from me to stay home. So as things progressed, she started to lose respect for the fact that I was staying home. She would come home, she would get upset in her argument. She started getting resentful. I feel you.

Exactly. Exactly. So for him, I would strongly suggest doing something. I understand staying home. Everybody wants to take care of their own kids. Yeah. I didn't. I love staying home with my daughter.

She's in college now. She's just about to graduate in May. Hey, congratulations. Yeah. So she's, you know, my daughter is grateful. she's happy, you know what I mean she wished things didn't go the way they did but you know

it happened because of the resentment that went on within the relationship so I would strongly say not I mean if you're going to stay home have a plan have something that you can do you can always create your own business at home

if you got that kind of time to sit back create your own business do something that you can you know if things fell through I know she's a lawyer but if things felt if she got injured or whatever she wasn't able to work, you have a backup plan. But staying home and just being a stay-in-home dad, for me, my experience was not,

that's not the way to go. Yeah. Dang. So you were stay-at-home dad, the stuff got worse and you don't have your girl. And you can't get a job, I see, in the notes? No, no, no. I have a job now, but it took that build-up to get from being out of work for the years that I was out of work.

Yeah. It was hard, you know, because you, I can't, I couldn't go back into the job that I had. Right. Because it was very hard to get it in the first place. Mm-hmm. So, you can't just be like, hey, I'm back. What's up? Exactly.

Exactly. It was a very well-paying job. And, uh, like her mother would ask, you know, when's Mike going to go back to work? When's he going back to work? He's looking. It's not like he can just, the job is waiting. It's not easy. There were people waiting for that job because it was, you know, I mean, it was making great

money. So, uh, when it didn't go the way her mother thought it should and you know she started getting to the point of well are you finding anything people were not hiring at that this was back in 2008 oh yeah oh you know what I mean it was it was pretty crazy but uh like I said people the crash yeah they have these whims oh this great yeah money is great at the moment but it's not always gonna be just like it fluctuates oh sorry thank you bro if And you've got to be ready for that. Yeah. That's the thing. The key thing that he said was like, she can lose respect for you over time. Even though you're doing what you're supposed to be doing at home, it's just like that.

Resentful. I mean, just like anything, just like, you know, stay at home. I mean, working dads, you know, they go and, you know, sometimes they go home and like, man, I'm tired. Tamiano. Same thing with women. She could be like, I'm tired and you're here. She walks in. And it happens to be the moment that you just take a seat and now you're watching the game.

It could be the first five minutes. But she don't know that. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So then I can see why it could be, you know, some resentment. Some resentment there. Oh, my guy. Well, our guy, Olysses.

He's going to, there are those great examples. It seems like the calls were leaning more. Towards good a job, buddy. Yeah, but the stay-at-home dads did put things in perspective and at least you have that to look into, bro. And we do not want to ignore the fact that there are people protesting today that there is a nationwide. stay at home like a general strike where people are not shopping, not going to school, and not going to work. And we want to send you our love to those who can't that have to go to work, have to be at a place, or really can't afford to not go. We also know there are other options for you to help or to spread love or to shed light in the way that you do.

One of them I read is to just kind of wear something that is very, like, supportive. It might feel little to you. But look, he walking in today, Angie, and seeing your shirt. I was like, wow, that's a really nice shirt. So, I'm so down us of her shirt. Right? Yeah. And can you tell us?

It says, they try to bury us. And it's in the Mexican colors, green, white, and red. And it's like bedazzled. Bedazzled. And it's actually for sure, La. So, like, this, it goes back to the charities that help out our immigrant community. So that's really, really awesome. And I was like, whoa, Angie, did you make that?

Because Annie makes clothes. And she's like, no, my friend did. And so today I found it. out and she has friends that are not from high school. Angie makes after Sanillas. Yeah. She has friends that are not me.

Oh, wow. It's an acquaintance. God forbid. Oh, yeah. I don't know. You don't know what it's like to be besties. How dare you? Yeah, you guys are two homegirls right now.

We are. What's up? Oh, good at every creditor later. Look at her all peanut butter and jealous over there. Anyway. But yes, I wore the shirt that says, and support. of what's going on today. Yeah, Vic, you have a beautiful hat that says brown for

always. You know, Khan, you're wearing the Mexico... Yeah, for sure. The... Mexican national. No, I don't have to wear nothing. I'm gonna... I'm like...

You know? Hey, thank you. I don't have to wear much, you know, my mom. I'm sporting. She's like... What tribe is this, ma'am? Thank you for...

Thank you for being indigenous today. Boy, hair down food. Good luck. Hey, bro, man. You should have breaded your hair. I do radio.

I'm seriously. I'm serious. No, you don't. Get the hell out of here. No, I'm serious, dude. I'm on Brownbeck mornings, dude. Oh, gosh. Hey, but I did want to spend

this time to send love. And we're going to get to all the fun stuff. We got the tickets on the way. We want you to call us up to win them. 818-5-2059. But I also want to send love to our homegirl the prima that loki is doing the fight, even when it feels hard and exhausting and you get hate for it.

We all know that person around this. We know that account that can feel exhausted for doing it, but it won't stop their heart from going for this cause. And I'm talking about Snow the Product. She has an incredible project out right now called Before I Crash Out. And there's funny, amazing songs on there like Sabado, but there's also this one song that it's all in Spanish, so please bear with me as we play it. I will tell you a little bit more about it.

She's talking about the struggle that she sees her mom and saw her mom go through coming to this country and just almost even feeling like I have nothing left, but I'm still going to keep going. When I heard this song, I got really emotional and I wanted to share it and at least give her the spotlight because she worked so hard. And I know that you're working so hard. Whatever you're doing this morning, you listening. So I just want to make sure that you know that you have our love. Okay. So here is, and the song is called again, No Trago Nada. Shout out to Snow the product

and this is off of before I crashed out. KBiD here, it's Power 106 when it's the S. We have people with little John tickets. Oh, and you, It'sa Tama Man. Concrete does this thing, and you need to know that he does this thing, where he cues us to himself.

Yes. He knows how we talk, and he's, like, waiting for it. So usually, like, good point to you, and you, Ittisamien. And he's doing, like, the little fingers, but I didn't do it. And then whenever Angie should say, that's right, Concrete looks at her like. Like, that's right. Or when he does the homie help line and you say the name and then I look at you and I'm like, I do the name.

And you do the name. Because I started learning everybody's cues. Yeah. I started learning the stuff. It's like, you're like a director. At first, yes. At first I was like, what's going on? What are you guys doing?

What are you guys doing? And then here. And then I'm like, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Yeah, that's so cool. So what's your cue? Just vibes. Don't do that. That gets me so mad.

I'm just fine. I'm just here for the vibes. No, you know what's crazy. And then as far as today, just kind of going back to what you were saying about people, people are like, are you guys not going to be on the radio? Are you guys not going to do this? Or are you guys going to pay for it? I think one thing that needs to be understood is that this is media.

And when there was big disasters or something's happening in the world, the first ones there are the media, or the first responders, are the ones shedding light on certain things. So that's why we come to work so we can shed light on things and things need to be said. We got to be your megaphone. And at the same time, it's a responsibility for us to, like, If we're going to be the microphone, let's say the info, you know. And so that's why we've been making a point this morning to play the music that I know it at least feels some way for me.

Like it's feeling. I feel like there's emotions in the things that we're doing, you know, still give you that entertaining, but still be here understanding what it is. And it was really hard for me to come this morning. I know, bro. Yeah. I couldn't get up. Because you were tired. Do you get them out?

I literally had to pray. I know. I had to pray. I sat in my car crying. Like, what do I do? I don't want people to, like, think that we're doing the wrong thing by being here. But I really want to, like, share my heart because there's so many people that I care about. I see it every day.

Again, I'm panicked every time my dad comes outside. Yeah. And here's a head of cramp. And why you're going to cry? No, yore. I would tell you buy me breakfast, but we can't spend today. No. Let's go buy some chorizo.

We can buy. Then let's go steal it. No. F the system. From a non-Latino-owned business. Chorizo. Yeah, from Trader Joe's. Let's get some soy-rizo, y'all.

Let's get some soy-rizo, y'all. We are not condoning. No, don't steal. Borrow it. Bring it back. Bring it back. It's a five-finger discount. There you go.

Either way, we've been going through them all morning long. And I wanted to tell you about another one that I saw, especially when it happens with the immigration rates that are happening everywhere all over America. is this might be a little bit weird but it's a question like I feel like

maybe we can ask each other do you know your neighbors do you know your neighbors like literally do you know your neighbors on your block no yes the ones to the right of me the ones to the left of me and kind of the ones in front of me

but the ones on the side of us yeah we're really cool because what I'm seeing especially from what the folks over in Minneapolis are doing is they have they kind of created a system And we're hoping that it can kind of like, at least to bring awareness, should these raids kind of be happening, not just the whistles. Yeah.

But they have a text group for their block. And then every other block also does. And then there's a text group for the whole like surrounding little city area. So as soon as it hits one block, the other one, like it's kind of like a network of telling everybody kind of like what they see going on. And it's a little bit more credible because often social media can, it can, we don't know. what you're seeing, how credible it is, or you know, where it's coming from. Exactly. But it can give you just that, like that anxiety just the same or that panic.

So this is a good way. Think of like, you know, like there's like Citizen app and stuff like that. But even that, okay, I'm like seeing some stuff that happens on Citizen. And I was like, wow. They report everything on that. And that's the thing about social media is like, oh, I just is over here. And then I'm like, I was about to be posted like eight days ago. And I was like, oh, okay, never mind.

So it's tough, but they say one thing. If you're not doing anything, if you can't not go to work or, can't not shop and all of that. Maybe it is get to know your neighbor. Yeah. It might be tough because there might be different ideals, but especially in neighborhoods that are getting targeted and these ice raids are happening, which is many neighborhoods.

I live close to Ahambra. It's been happening every other day over there. It's really scary. But if you do that, maybe just having that communication that we don't have. You know, sometimes you're just to yourself. Yeah. I have a homie neighbor and he knows everybody. And he moved in there after we did.

And I was like, what the hell? Really? What usually happens is when there's chisement, all the neighbors come together. So there needs to be more chisement. More chisement to create the group chat to then be aware of everything going down. It's just a good idea. That's a good idea. And you know the chisement.

You know your neighbors. Yeah, but some of them are on the other side of the political views. So I'm like, I wouldn't trust them. And they're very hardcore about it too. So I'm like, yeah. But almost it is tough. Like very flags out and everything too. Yeah, so it's like, we don't really trust them, but most of the other neighbors, we've known for a while.

Okay, good. So, like, we all kind of report to each other, but then we're just like, you guys. Yeah, we had one day around our block, too. Yeah. He bailed. Oh, yeah? Oh, really? Yeah, he was out of there. Yeah. Did you get along with him? Never spoke to him. Wow. Yeah. That's how it is with us. We were just like, y'all. I had a neighbor like, he was like, they're moving in. Yeah. I've told you guys about Ms. Jackie. Oh, yeah. My next to neighbor, she was that same one. As soon as we moved in, she was just reporting and reporting.

And, like, I hope you're not bringing that energy until the neighborhood. Jesus. Yeah, she said that to my husband. Because we had a baby shower and our black homies were there and our brown homies were there. And our homie name Wero that's bald was there with tattoos and all of that. You met him. He's a tattoo artist.

Yeah. Oh, yes. Yeah. But, like, she's just like, yeah, I hope that's not what you're free. This is not what we paid for. Yeah. Oh, my God. The tax bracket for you.

She's still there. No, she moved out too. She moved out. She moved out to. Yeah. And then the new homie that lives there, he's the one that knows everyone. I was like, how did we move in before you and you know literally everyone? Oh, that's a little.

You know what it is? They take a walk. Yeah. It's the neighbors that take the walks. Because the neighbors, I'm meeting, know my dad. Because my dad goes and takes walks and you just say hi and then you get to know them and all of that. So maybe take this moment that if you're, if you feel comfortable and get to know your neighbors, we're seeing this kind of work, these types of systems of fast communication, of

rapid response, be getting to know your neighbors, getting on that text thread, and being just looking out for each other, being aware. Yes. And it could be for the Cheesme too. You could, you could learn the T. Okay? All right. Let's get into Studio's fool.

You want to talk about some studies that you got? All right. Let's get into some studios full. Great Scott. Hell of Studious. What's 9 plus 10? Turn your line? Look at this studious fool.

Perritos, men are the best at hide and seek. I'll tell you the best hiding spot for dads and hubbies. Do you ladies know where? Yes. Oh, yes. Where? Can I guess? The toilet.

Exactly. Yeah. You guys are always how much you suck at hiding. We know where you're hiding spots at. Yeah. Then, like, why do you guys come over there? To check what you're doing. That's our privacy time.

It's privacy, dog. It's a toilet to go poop and do your thing. Yeah, it's away from all you guys. That's the time to make my picks. Yeah. Oh, that's perfect. My eyes picks. That's perfect.

So how many hemorrhoids do each of you have? I have one. Mm-hmm. Yeah, it's lethal. You can get hemorrhoids from that. But you're not actually like pooping or pushing. You're just sitting there. Exactly.

That's gravity. Gravity to where your little hole is exposed. Oh, your balloon nut. Yes. And that's how you get hemorrhoids. As there's a number of surveys have found that many men intentionally spend time in the bathroom, not just for hygiene, but to also find a moment of quiet and tranquility away from their crazy spouse. It doesn't say that. I made the last part of that.

But it's true. We just, we need our time, dog. Go ahead. That's great. But you know who can't do that? Your girl. Because you know what happens when we're in the restroom? The kids are coming.

They're calling. You're banging on the door. You can't even know where the remote's at. The kids are fighting with each other. The study does not say that. Yeah. But girls don't have the same hiding spot. You know where our hiding spot is?

Where? Target. The mall. If you want your time alone in the toilet, give us credit card. So we can go. She does. She has her own. Yeah?

Yeah. Oh, that's nice. Yeah. Minimum limit. Minimum limit. Minimum limit. I have to accept every charge. All right.

Last thing you were looking up on your phone while you were in the toilet. Price picks. Making my selections. I was on the brownback, 106 page, looking at all our reels. Oh, so we're liking. Shut up, dude. Be honest. Last time you were in the toilet, what were you looking at?

Mine is, what does platonic mean? Plutonic. Platonic Flotonic. Somebody told them I love you blotonically. Is that your learning time?

I don't know like I just came to my head What is it actually in? Somebody said I love you in a platonic way. I was like What does that even mean? So what does it mean?

Wait, what? It means a close affectionate relationship Like deep friendship This is purely spiritual and free From romantic or sexual desire. Yeah.

She don't want you. Basically friend zoning. Yeah, he got curved in friends of all. Yeah, I love you plutonically and he's like, what?

Do you guys have another spot besides the toilet? Yeah. The car? Work. I come here to get away. Don't be saying that. Every single day. Nikki's going to listen.

Yeah, sorry. Yeah. Yeah. And this is a time where the fighters, you know, usually talk their ish. There's usually a scuffle during like the face off or something. But this one went in a way different direction. Theo Fimo started going old fashioned back to middle school with his jokes. Listen to this.

I'll bet you something. Oh, I want to bet whatever. Yeah. Whatever you want to put up. I bet that you can't. No, say it. Say it. Say it.

This is good. Very creative. Very good. And Shakur was so mad. Like, he was like not. He just kept getting him? Yes. He was not going for it at all.

I believe his dad or his trainer was also super upset. I was just like, oh, man, he wouldn't stop. Dio Fima was really getting under his skin. And Stevenson, he's not, like, he's a, great fighter. He's very technical. But I just don't know that he has that gift of gab yet. Like Tio Fimo is like, it's just, he's a hot spitter. He went in there with the strategy of like, oh, I'm going to just say the most immature

stuff. And like, he wouldn't stop. He wouldn't stop. And during the face off, even he had like just like a, he's just staring not at him, but like towards them. Like, it was a whole thing. Yeah, that's an homage to Usek who's done similar thing. It's just the troll of a boxer.

Yeah. I'm scared to ask, but do y'all have? any? Oh, like comebacks like that? Balls? I'm getting... What?
