Woke up. Wake you up. Wake that ass up. Program your alarm to Power 105.1 on IHeartRadio. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Sholomaine the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lawn LaRose is here as well. We got some special guests in the building. Yes, indeed. We have a Leslie Gordon and Zach Hall. Welcome. Thank you. How you're feeling this morning?

What's up? How we doing? From the Food Bank of New York City? Yes. Yes. Nobody does better work, you know, in regards to helping people that are food and secured in the Food Bank of New York City, man. Amen. And, you know, y'all have your 50 million meals campaign.

Tell us what that is. Yeah, so look, here in New York City, about 20% of our neighbors, almost every street, every borough, struggle with knowing when their next meal is coming from, what it's going to be. You know, if you don't have enough food, it becomes like your every minute, every moment, where's it going to come from, what's it going to be, how am I going to feed my family? And so we're on a role. We're on a mission. We're on a campaign. We want to make sure we raise 50 million meals by the end of this calendar year.

Wow. And you've been great, right? Thank you for being in it to win it with us. Thank you for helping people to understand and appreciate the nature of not having enough looks like in New York City. What is the biggest misconception? I want both of you all to answer this. What's the biggest misconception people have about who is food and secure and why? Well, I always want to tell people that it's not the homeless man on the street, right? These are folks that are you see every day, these folks that are in your building, working on jobs all across the city that are just trying to make ends meet.

The cost of living in New York City is so high that, like Leslie said, it's 20% in New York City. That's a million and 300,000 people, which is a good city. American city, right? So these are folks that, you know, are trying to get their kids to school, trying to make sure mom and dad in retirement aren't struggling to afford the medications that they need. And we just need, you know, a kind of citywide effort to make sure we can feed our neighbors. One thing I saw, especially during the government shutdown, you know, actual federal workers coming to the food bank. These aren't people on SNAP benefits. These aren't people on any type of welfare. They just, you know, couldn't make ends meet because they weren't

getting any paychecks. But they had to go to the food bank. Yeah, you know, here in America, say most people are about, you know, one paycheck away from finding themselves on standing on a pantry line, going to a community kitchen to get a hot meal. We had this incredible couple, you know, come visit us in Queens. They said, you know, we haven't been on a pantry line since the last government shut down 2018, 2019. Our daughter has a scholarship at Cornell. She's coming at home. We need to be able to gather around the table for Thanksgiving just like any other family. And so we need the food. The amazing thing about it is, is that there's such an incredible spirit of gratitude,

right? We're in that season of gratitude. And so the same couple who stood on the line, they took their groceries home. The guy comes back about half an hour later, our team's out on the ground like they normally are, and thought, he forgot something. Maybe he needs something else. And he said, no, I'm going to roll up my sleeves. I'm here to help. Put me to work. What can I do? Yeah. It's incredible. How did the government shut down impact your operations, like to provide the food? Yeah, I mean, we're made for moments like this at Food Bank for New York City. We've got such an incredible team and we've got, you know, great ambassadors like all of you and Charlemagne here. And so that when the demand rises,

we rise right along with it to make sure New Yorkers have what they need. But if I'm being really honest, that's where we need people to stand shoulder to shoulder with us, right? We need them to be in it with us 365 days a year. That's the thing. Hunger doesn't take a holiday, right? We tend to have these conversations around the holidays, Christmas, Thanksgiving. You know, people are hungry all year long. And everybody can find themselves on our journey, right?

That's what's really special, speaking as objectively as I can, about what we do at Food Bank for New York City, right? And, you know, the shutdown you mentioned that, you know, SNAP benefits were halted for the first time. history, right? So we had two weeks of folks just not getting the food they need to get to get by. And that saw a surge in demand at our pantries across the city. And that's something that we don't want to repeat. You know, folks shouldn't be punished for politics. And this is about people, not about partisanship, but we'll make sure that folks in America are being fed. And having

most SNAP recipients are taxpaying, working families, but they're just, they weren't getting their benefits, so we want to make sure that that doesn't happen again. Fortunately, you know, the government was being funded through September 30th the next year, thank God. But, you know, shutdowns really, really impact people, way more than just work is not showing up to work. It's about lots of systems being impacted. It's about affordability.

I mean, let's just be really honest, right? I was going to ask, how frustrating is it for you guys because you're really on the ground, seeing these people and these families when you see headlines and politicians making it about Republican, Democrat, like, it's a different experience for you as you're meeting these families, right? So like, what's that experience and talking to those people

as they're watching that happen? Yeah, go ahead. I think it's just basic needs, right? Like, everybody eats. So we're gonna make sure that that's a fundamental, you know, kind of a condition of survival in this country and in the city. This isn't about an urban or a suburban or a rural issue.

The hunger affects everybody across the country in the shutdown, threw that into, a stark relief, right? So all of a sudden, 42 million people in the country didn't have SNAP benefits. And the politics of it is not apparent for us. We're serving households that have come to us no matter any type of political persuasion.

And we're here to serve everybody. And, you know, it is frustrating that our elected leaders can't get along and figure this out. And that's something that we always push for. Like, you know, policy means that people are impacted. And how can we come together, you know, already set aside and just moved the country forward. What policy of systemic change would make the single biggest impact right now in regards to

keeping hunger from rising? Yeah, I mean, wages, that's always a big thing, right? The cost of living all across the country, and especially right here in New York City, is far outpaced wage increases. You know what we know, here's, check this out for a minute. So if you live in New York City, what we know, is that you need to make a minimum of $100,000 just to make ends meet, right?

Rent eats first, I constantly say. So after you've paid the light bill, after you've paid for rent, right, transportation, gas in the car, shoes for your kids, all of that, there isn't a whole lot left, right? And so we need to work on wages, housing, right? We all talk about housing a lot.

That's a very serious issue. It's really hard to live your best life when you don't really know where you're going to live. Or it's taking up a big chunk of your salary. We've got to come together and fix it. I was going to ask, when it comes to everything that's going on in the world, are donations and contributions down or is it up? How is that looking?

Yeah, I mean, that's what's so special about New Yorkers, right? Is that we've got such a spirit of coming together in the best of times and in the worst of times. including all of you. And so folks have continued to be generous in some of the most impressive ways. It's quite frankly humbling. It's one of the best parts of my job

is when people step forward and raise their hand and say, how can I help? What can I do? But it's not enough, right? We're on pace to maybe distribute about 100 million pounds of good nutritious food this year. Wow.

which is crazy here in New York City. And that doesn't even begin to fill the bucket. So we need to people to be at it with us long term. When we talk about the government shutdown, for example, so people say, oh, the government's back in business again. Well, here's what happened. When the shutdown occurred, people started putting groceries and other bills on credit cards.

They started borrowing from friends, IOUs. And what we know is that when that happens, it can take years to get yourself back into a stable place again. Yeah. And you can't pay your credit card bills with SNAP benefits. You're hustling to try and cover the costs that you incurred. They're trying to feed yourself. Can't buy diapers, right?

Yeah. None of that. I know a lot of people may feel that donating is, like, it has to be expensive. Like the donation has to be expensive. Is it true that $1, $1 can feed five, well, five meals, can get you $5 mil? Look, we try and be as efficient as possible. Food's gotten increasingly expensive. We're really good at what we do.

You know, we work with cheers for the New York State farmers, right? We try and support our own New Jersey farmers, Connecticut farmers. So, yeah, it does go a long way. I would say between three and five meals for sure. Nice. No donation is too big and no donation is too small. Yeah. Yeah.

We see different ways to invest in our work. You can certainly the monetary pieces. is really critical right now, as Lizzie's describing, getting us to the point of where we can get 50 million meals. Yeah. But it's also volunteering and advocating. It's another critical piece for us of making sure community voices are heard, elected officials, policy gets improved,

and that we can get, you know, those components that help folks live better lives, you know, in place. Now, if somebody's out there and they're listening, explain how it works. Like, you know, you're from Queens or you're in the city. what's the process I can just go up to any food bank and wait online and get food am I outside waiting in line like what is the process for people that don't know yeah so no barriers to service right we want to make accessing food as a fundamental

right is the way that we see it easy for individuals for older adults for families and so you we've got this cool food finder that we've spent a lot of time developing so you can visit us at food bank nyc.combeck org, click on, you know, find food. And it'll bring up a map. You just put in your zip code and it'll give you a sense of either where you, someplace close to where you work, someplace close to where you live, where you can find a pantry. And, you know, we wanted to be a dignified experience. So years ago, if people who are listening have sort of an older reflection on going to a food pantry or a community kitchen, it used to be, hello, and you get a bag. Now, things are

shifted pretty dramatically. We want it to be like a mock grocery store experience as much as we possibly can within our network. And so you go and we welcome you warmly, right? We want it to be, we want you to be seen. We want you to be heard when you come. We want to talk about what else is going on for you, right? Because food insecurity is a continuum of things. And so, you know, if you're a family of four, let's say, you come in and instead of money, we give you a set of points. It's called client choice. You get a set of points and you shop around in a mock supermarket style experience. And you can pick what makes sense for your families and what you want for yourselves.

Because I tell people, food isn't nutritious if you won't eat it. Right. Right. Think about that. It's really, you're not seen if somebody hands you a ham or a chicken, but you're vegetarian or you're vegan. Right? Like, what are you going to do then?

And so we want to make, we want to make the healthy choice, the easy choice, but we also want you to feel like home. And we're, you know, New York City is such a diverse place. You know, communities and cultures from all over. And we want to make sure that that food is, you know, in front of folks that it's familiar and means that they can feed their family in the way that makes sense. I'm Kristen Davis, host of the podcast. Are You a Charlotte? The most anticipated guest from season three is here. the tray to my Charlotte. Kyle McLaughlin joins me to relive all of the magical

Trey and Charlotte moments. He reveals what he thinks of Trey giving Charlotte a cardboard baby. Why would I bring her a cardboard baby? I was literally, I was like, this doesn't track for me at all. When he found out Trey's shortcomings. I'm kind of excited at talking about, you know, I think he's a guy spends time in Central Park. You know, he's probably, you know, he'll be some surgery stuff, you know. And I was like all this kind of stuff going on.

And they were like, yeah, yeah, yeah, fine. And they said, but he's impotent. And I was like, he's impotent. And why he chose not to return to it just like that. They came and presented an idea. And I was like, I get, I see it. It's so kind of a one joke idea. Right.

You don't want to miss this. Listen to Are You a Charlotte on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey there, Dr. Jesse Mills here. I'm the director of the men's clinic at UCLA Health. And I want to tell you about my new podcast called The MailRour. And I'm Jordan, the show's producer. And like a lot of guys, I haven't been to the doctor in many years. I'll be asking the questions we probably should be asking, but aren't.

Because guys usually don't go to the doctor unless a piece of their face is hanging off or they've broken a bone. Depends which bone. Well, that's true. Every week, we're breaking down the unique world of men's health, from testosterone and fitness to diets and fertility and things that happen in the bedroom. You mean sleep? Yeah, something like that, Jordan. We'll talk science without the jargon and get you real answers to the stuff you actually wonder about. It's going to be fun, whether you're 27, 97, or somewhere in between.

Men's Health is about more than six packs and supplements. It's about energy, confidence, and connection. We don't just want you to live longer. We want you to live better.

where I talk to artists, athletes, entertainers, creators, friends, people I admire who had massive success about their massive failures. What did they mess up on? What is their heartbreak? And what did they learn from it? I got judged horribly. The judges were like, you're trash. I don't know how you got on the show.

Boo, somebody had tomatoes. I'm kidding. But if they had tomatoes, they would have thrown the tomatoes. let's be honest we've all had those moments we'd rather forget we bumped our head we made a mistake the deal fell through we're embarrassed we failed but this podcast is about that and how we made it through so when they sat me down they were kind of like we got into the small talk and they were just like so what do you got what what ideas and i was like oh no what check out not my best moment with me kevin on stage on the iHeart radio app apple podcast YouTube or wherever you get your podcast

This is your chance. Let's celebrate the power of podcasting and your place in it. Enter now at iHeartpodcastawards.com. And I don't need a license. I don't have to prove that I'm this. I can just go down there and say, hey, this is what I need and I'll be taking it.

You can, like Leslie said, go to go to our website, find a pantry in your area. I would call them to make sure that the hours are, you know, what they're stating because those things can change,

especially around the holidays and so forth. But yeah, we want to make it as minimally invasive as possible folks to show up and get the nutritious food that they need. Now, what about for immigrants?

Are immigrants allowed this? Absolutely. 100%. No barriers to service, right? We're not here to judge you. We're here to help you live your best life. No matter where you come from, no matter when you reach out for support, we're going to be here for you.

Just don't cut in line in front of the locals. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It gets a little rough. It gets a little hectic, seen it. But I know y'all partner with a lot of, you know, pantries and community organizations. What are you hearing from them on the ground that isn't making headlines? You know, there was an article, I think it was in New York Times over the weekend. And in an accompanying video where you see a woman taking a carton of 12 eggs and cutting it in half,

just so that you can still spread around the resources. And so the demand is super high. You know, what's interesting is I've been in this work nearly 20 years, and we've never seen the amount of people standing online as high as it is today. And so we're having to do more with less. And so that's just another reason why we need everybody who's listening. to be in it with us not only now but for the long term. But can you imagine that taking a cart and eggs

and you've got to cut it in a half so that this family can have sex and that family can have sick? That's not what we want to be doing. It's also really time intensive, right? Like thinking about, you know, folks are often telling us at the pantries that folks are lining up, you know, five, six in the morning for a nine o'clock, 10 o'clock opening. So, like that's a job, right?

Like, you're an early riser if you're getting to a pantry, line that early. And I think folks don't recognize that it's really exhausting and time intensive to navigate poverty and being in a situation where your food is secure and you've got to, you know, kind of expend so much energy in time to try and make, you know, basic ends meet. When we hear is that people are super stressed, right? Super stressed. It feels demoralizing. You know, people are quick to flare. They're angry. They're frustrated. You know, they care about policy, but at the end of the day, it's about feeding themselves and their families. I also think that, you know, folks don't realize that how big of a network that we have is 800-plus food pantries and soup kitchens, but also schools, colleges, health care partners.

And they really stepped up, like Leslie Stein. During the shutdown, folks were, you know, seeing a lot of above-normal demand, but, you know, folks were just there. I'm going to, we're going to be here for my communities. They're community folks helping each other and being that repository of dignified service where you can get, you know, trusted, nutritious food in your community is really critical. And that's the thing that goes unsung oftentimes in our pantry network. These folks have been doing this for as long as we have. They're like 40 plus years, you know.

Yeah, I mean, you see everybody on the line. The other day I was out in the deep part of the South Bronx, which happens to be one of the needy communities in all of New York City, right, underserved for years. You know, Morrisenia, Mott Haven, Fordham, Hunts Point, all those communities have been deeply underserved for years. And I love to talk to people on the line. One guy comes up and he said, oh, I'm so excited. Now I'm going to cook this or that.

He's imagining what he's going to make with everything that we're giving out. And I said, oh, you like to cook? Tell me about that. He said, yeah, I'm a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America. I've cooked for some of the best chefs in America, you know, shall remain nameless on your show this morning, but he's out there on the line. Yeah. He said, you know, between jobs, I don't always have enough to be able to feed myself. So I do it.

You know, it's everybody you see. It's postal workers. It's, you know, truck drivers. It's teachers. We see a lot of teachers. It's kind of incredible about who's actually hungry. You guys are providing on a large... There's a lot of people that y'all are getting food to.

How do you ensure that the families are being fed quality meals? Well, this is one of my favorite parts because we have dietitians on staff. So they work with our procurement team to make sure we're bringing in balanced meals that are culturally relevant, but also, you know, whole and mentally processed foods. And I've heard you talk before about nutrition is such an important component of, you know, overall health. And we're going to make sure that, you know, we're not. reinforcing some of the, you know, chronic health conditions that are plagued by so many communities who are also food insecure. It's like the double-edged coin where you're food

insecure and you have a diabetes or hypertension or cancer or heart disease. You're sick. Yeah. Then you got to take off work to go to the doctor. Then you lose your job because you can't get to work because you're sick and you're out at the doctor too much. It ends up being a vicious cycle and a loop that people find themselves in. It's pretty crazy. Nutricious food is really important to us, in addition to getting food that helps you feel seen and that feels like home. You know, what's interesting is, I think about kids in the Bronx, we saw you out over the summer in the Bronx. Do you know that there are kids in our own city who have never had a blueberry?

So, you know, what's interesting is, is that as a parent, when you have limited resources, you can't afford to make a mistake. Yeah, that's right. right? And so you've got to choose stuff that you know that your kids are going to eat. What if they've never had a blueberry before and you don't know if they're going to eat it. They're not cheap. It's not cheap. And so that's also part of what we do is help introduce everyone in New York City, especially kids to new and different foods that, you know, mom and dad can't afford to make a mistake on, but we're going to make sure that they know what a blueberry is all about. And we've been making really amazing strides towards that end. About 40% of our food that goes out the door is produce or lean protein, really making sure that that's a well-rounded, balanced plate of food for our families.

Everything that's, and you've got to come see, right? Here's my personal invitation this morning because it's, I think it's quite fascinating. The magical dance that happens behind the scenes in our incredible facility in the Hunts Point section in the South Bronx every day to make sure that there's food. on the plate tonight for a New Yorker. It's just hats off to our team that picks it up, puts it down, moves it around with such an incredible heartfelt spirit every single day. Yes, produce. I would say anything you find in a grocery store is what you're going to find in our inventory. And we're serious. So no cakes, pies, cookies, sugary drinks, that's not what's in our facility.

Now, I've had some good cookies at the food bank, the one in Harlem. Oh, so listen. Listen, listen, listen. So she's no joke, right? It's the ginger peach tea. It's those, I call them her slamming chocolate chip cookies, right? Everybody deserves a treat. We are definitely not the food police.

I feel you on that. So, yes, we've got this amazing Harlem kitchen right off of Frederick Douglass Boulevard. We've been there for a lot of years. Chef Sherry and her team spins out nearly 500 hot meals a day. with love. And, yeah, those cookies, they're no joke. I feel like that, you know, the food bank for NYC, that's what I love about y'all

the most, the passion that y'all actually have. It doesn't feel like, you know, y'all are just doing something for the sake of doing it. It's like everybody there is intentional about the mission. I feel that way. Yeah, I mean, I have people on my team have been doing this for 20, 25 years. And so it's, you know, folks that come into the line of business,

stay at the organization because we love our people. stick around and grow and develop. I've been at food bank for 17 years myself. Wow. Started as a temp and, you know, kind of came into this and, you know, unless he's been doing this for decades as well. So we have, it is passion. I mean, feeding people, it's basic needs, man.

You give somebody a bag, looking in their eye and understand that they're going to be better off because of that. That's not enough, right? That's not enough to get people whole. But, you know, it's something that is a tribute to the staff that we have at food bank and take a very, very, very, seriously.

What's one story that reminds you why this mission still matters and keeps you motivated? It's an interesting story because it's not always about food, right? So we have about 60 or so hit at 12 pantries, so pantries at schools, elementary middle and high schools. And, you know, with generous funding from city council and other funders, we've been able to do this for, you know, going on 15 years. and part of the distribution that some of our pantries includes

all the food we've been talking about but also like some basic needs like hygiene supplies, laundry detergents, soap shampoo, those types of things, deodorant. I was visiting one of these schools, PS30 in the Bronx, and just asking the parent coordinator, how's it going? She says, oh, you know, like I didn't realize this, but this pantry has had like these other amazing effects.

there's one kid in our class, David, he was shy, never really participating, middle schooler. And after his family started going to the pantry, he started being more and more involved in class, participating, raising his hand, was because he got deodor. And he was concerned that raising his hand in class, you know, we have all been in middle school, man, that's a tough time. You don't be called out as a kid who could be a little funky. So by going to the class, he, he, He's getting, you know, not only meals, been basic needs,

but stuff that prepares him to be a better learner. Essentials. Right? And, like, that's, like, an incredible story of just, like, how that whole household view can get kids in a better place to be them better self. And she, you know, she was almost in tears telling me how impactful this was for them in their school. You know, so remember the deal, remember, raise your hands if you're sure.

Yeah. He was unsure. No, real. Right. That was a very, that was a very effective commercial back today. Now, today is giving Tuesday. How would you want people to go about giving? Is it money?

Is it financial? Is it work? Is it all of the above? It's all the above. Money is, the benefit for us is the most powerful way that we can put investments back into our work in our community. So go to Food Bank, NYC.org, click on donate and learn how you can give. No gift is too big. No gift is too small.

but really that keeps the engines purring across the street delivering all the food that we do. It's, you know, it's each one reach on, right? Everybody can find themselves on our journey to empower all New Yorkers for good. And so, yeah, visit us at foodbank, nyc.org.
