thank you right now for those who are going to
work and listening to this are literally sitting in their

Morning, Good morning Ricky.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
It's Friday, October tenth and Mental Health Awareness Day.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Here's what's going on in the news.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
President Trump is probably waking up on the wrong side
of the bed this morning. The twenty twenty five Nobel
Peace Prize was just announced. The honor goes to Venezuela
and physician leader Maria Corina Muchado. She beat out more
than three hundred and thirty nominees, including Trump, who had
been openly campaigning for the honor. Both Israeli Prime Minister
(03:11):
Benjamin and Yahoo and Argentina's President Javier Malia, one of
Trump's closest allies, said he deserved it. That twenty billion
dollar bill I'll deal with Argentina probably didn't hurt either. Ironically,
Machado takes the honor for her efforts to promote democracy
and fight back against dictatorship in her home country. It's
(03:33):
a ten of the government's shut down, and the impact
is now being felt from tax season to take off.
The IRS has furloughed nearly half of its workforce, more
than thirty four thousand employees, meaning taxpayers are going to
face slower refunds, delayed phone support, and longer waits for
in person help. The agency says essential operations will continue,
(03:54):
but most call centers are now closed, and across the country,
air travel is taking a major hit of stay apping
shortages grow among TSA workers and air traffic controllers. Airports
like Chicago, Ohear, Dallas, love Field, Boston, Logan, Nashville, and
Newark are reporting heavy delays.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Nationwide.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
There have been over twenty thousand delays since Monday and
over one thousand cancellations in the last seventy two hours. Yeah,
and a federal judge is hitting the brakes, at least
partly on President Trump's move to send National Guard troops
into Chicago. The judge granted part of a temporary training
order requested by Illinois Governor JB.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Pritzker's legal team and.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Out west the Trump administration is asking another court to
hold off on a ruling that blocked the guard from
operating in Portland. Both of these cases are moving through
federal courts and could set the tone for how much
power the White House really has to use troops in
domestic situations for Infloming. These stories and more go to
Makesmiley Morning Show dot com. Now here's a look at
(04:55):

forty year old body don't do what he used.

Speaker 8 (06:49):
Happy Friday, Ricky, good morning, everybody. I'm your girl, Brad
Tat Tat And this is the hotspot. We bring you music,
movies and more. So let's get off into it, well, y'all.
Zelda Williams, the dull of the legendary late comedian slash
actor Robin Williams is asking people to stop sending her
AI generated videos of her father, who passed away in
(07:10):
twenty fourteen. Zelda says the trend is gross and it's
disrespectful to his memory, and now Bernice King, the daughter
of doctor Martin Luther King Junior, has entered the chat.
She is also speaking out in support of Zelda, calling
for people to please stop using artificial intelligence to recreate
the likeness of deceased public figures. Doctor Bernise King has
(07:31):
long advocated for the ethical use of her father's image
and words. She wrote a message on Twitter well X
formerly Twitter, saying I concur concerning my father.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Please stop.
Speaker 8 (07:44):
What do y'all think about the AI generated A.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Lot of disrespectful I can't disrespect.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I can't, especially the King. I can't. I mean, imagine
if that was your parent.
Speaker 8 (07:58):
Somebody sent me one of those with like my grandmother's
and I was not happy with it. And I know
they was trying to do something sweet, but it messed
me up for real, is what it did. So I
can't imagine how they feel.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
It's creepy. It is creepy, and it's Yeah.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
Did you see the one that was floating around a
tupac of what he would look like if he was
alive right now. Yeah, man, they saw him had one
with him shopping and Target. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (08:23):
It's like, yeah, I'm not cool with it. It is
too much. It is too much, and it's hard on
the loved ones of the you know, it's really rough anyway. Yeah,
it kind of made me marry, but I tried to
not get mad. I'll be trying to be better, all right,
y'all moving on. Yesterday, federal judge tossed out a defamation
lawsuit that Drake brought against his own record label, Universal
(08:46):
Music Group.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Now.
Speaker 8 (08:47):
The judge ruled that the allegedly defamatory statements and not
Like Us are non actionable opinion. In other words, Drake
cannot suit for defamation over the song's lyrics. The lawsuit
the legens that UMG published and promoted not Like Us,
even though it included false pedophilia allegations against Drake or
the lawsuit. It's so crazy that this is even happening,
(09:09):
because people can say anything in raps. It really is
just words, I mean anyway. The lawsuit also alleged that
the track harnished his reputation and decreased the value of
his brand. Universal Music Group is the parent label for
both artists, and they denied the allegations in a statement,
they said, we're pleased with the course dismissal and look
forward to continuing our work successfully promoting Drake's music and
(09:33):
investing in his career. So any comments about that, y'all,
how y'all feel about that?
Speaker 1 (09:39):
That's good, That's good they did it.
Speaker 7 (09:42):
That's a itch move on Drake, Honey, how you want
to suit because somebody said something like that, I mean
when you.
Speaker 8 (09:47):
Kind of lost the battle, like he had a battle
with Meek Meal and what happened there, Like nobody.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Sued like and I mean he was going in on
me like he was on top of the world.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Like, yes, that's part of hip hop.
Speaker 8 (10:01):
It is what it is. And you ain't got mad
and sued like this. Yeah, that just shows a whole
nother side of the person.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
That's the white side of him making.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
You know, wrap up the hot spot on that note.
For more information on these stories and more, you go

catch me on all my social media. So so Brad, no.

Classic in Miami. And here's what she had to say

about being the first being the.
Speaker 9 (11:36):
Headgrom major this year. The beautiful burden of it is
the integrity of the game that in order for people
to do what I need them to do.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I have to do it.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
First.
Speaker 9 (11:45):
I have to explain things so that people can understand them,
because communication is possibly the biggest part of my job
other than the physical parts of it, as well as
the standard of excellence to be upheld. What we would
say in thee hundred is there's no women.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
On the field.
Speaker 9 (11:58):
They didn't want to see a mean changes in the
concept or what we perceived at that time to be.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Weakness in the concept.
Speaker 9 (12:05):
Now that I'm a dream major, my goal is to

Speaker 4 (12:31):
Know Ricky, listen to this.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
So did your parents ever have a bizarre house rule
growing up? Because a lot of people did you know?
Some of these rules we still think about, like you
can't go outside barefoot until Easter. People online are sharing
the ones from their family and listen to the top one.
Some of them I never heard of. So let's start
at number one. No turning on the lights during thunderstorms.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Number two wearing clothes with faces on them. So that
means no Mickey Mouse shirts, no Kitty Cat shirts, nothing, either,
playing shirts with no graphics on them, or it had
to be of something not alive, like a soccer ball
or a pumpkin or something.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
I never heard that one either me. I never heard that.
Here's another one.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
Somebody said, this is number three on this list. We
had one drink cup by the kitchen sink. Listen, y'all,
if you were thirsty, you use that cup and put
it back for other family members.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
And this is the gross part.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
We'd wash it in the dishwasher every two days or so. Yeah,
so if one person sticking at your bicy Okay, number
four on the list. I had to bring home the
plastic sandwich bags from my school lunch to be used
again the next day. They were washed and dried overnight.
I get that, you know, saving the money. I never
(13:49):
did either, But we used foil when I was little
rabies absolutely yeah, right, Okay, So here's another one. I
wasn't allowed to invite a friend over for a second
time until they invited me over to their house and
my mom kept track of how many times I invited
friends over and demanded they reciprocated before I could.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Invite them again.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
I don't know about these rufe Yeah, I never, but
I think we all.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
I don't know if this is just in our homes.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
You couldn't do anything when it was raining or if
there was a thunderstorm, no lights, no telephone.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah, my grandma made us get in the closet and
sometimes we had to get onto the bed.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
You couldn't take a shower.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
My grandma was stead of lightning. Nothing.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
We couldn't spend the night over at our friend's house.
Speaker 8 (14:32):
I couldn't.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I'm serious about not picking up their phone during the rain.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Oh yeah, heet struck by light up?
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Yeah all that, But didyall, what about the water?
Speaker 4 (14:46):
I never did y'all have someone that were bizarre?
Speaker 6 (14:50):
Not drinking out of one cup for everybody?
Speaker 4 (14:51):
That's gross?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
No, okay, is it weird? Now, everybody, I need you
to sneak and drink out the picture? Go ahead now.
Speaker 6 (14:59):
My wife wouldn't let our kids wear nothing with like
skeletons or or any of them like any kind of
skeletons or dead anything on their clothes, like she don't
like skull and crossbones and all that. She don't like
all that she says. Just down now, I tell you what.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I make sure everybody have on socks, and I don't
do uh, you can't walk around with white beaters on
or no shirt on the house and do that. And
I make sure girls wear sleeves and they don't have
nothing above the thighs.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
For years and years.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Make sure everybody is covered up and respectful, because teens
are teens and kids gonna be kids. And make sure
that everybody's covered up and respectful. And and I just
said a lot of the stuff.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
When it came to that, you couldn't wear wife beats
on muscle shirts as we called them when I was
growing up. But now what we did do not We
had to save the water for each other. I mean
with the bath water, bathot water. I took a bath,
we had to take about one hundred hour producers shaking
our head.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
We had to save the water.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Honey, who went first? Who went first?
Speaker 1 (15:55):
I don't know who went first? But water when I
took the bathroom, I.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Don't have to do that before you had to use
use the same same bath water or whatever. Yeah, that

long advocated for the ethical use of her father's image
and words. She wrote a message on Twitter well X
formerly Twitter, saying I concur concerning my father.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Please stop.
Speaker 8 (07:44):
What do y'all think about the AI generated A.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Lot of disrespectful I can't disrespect.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I can't, especially the King. I can't. I mean, imagine
if that was your parent.
Speaker 8 (07:58):
Somebody sent me one of those with like my grandmother's
and I was not happy with it. And I know
they was trying to do something sweet, but it messed
me up for real, is what it did. So I
can't imagine how they feel.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
It's creepy. It is creepy, and it's Yeah.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
Did you see the one that was floating around a
tupac of what he would look like if he was

too much. It is too much, and it's hard on
the loved ones of the you know, it's really rough anyway. Yeah,
it kind of made me marry, but I tried to
not get mad. I'll be trying to be better, all right,
y'all moving on. Yesterday, federal judge tossed out a defamation
lawsuit that Drake brought against his own record label, Universal
(08:46):
Music Group.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Now.
Speaker 8 (08:47):
The judge ruled that the allegedly defamatory statements and not
Like Us are non actionable opinion. In other words, Drake
cannot suit for defamation over the song's lyrics. The lawsuit
the legens that UMG published and promoted not Like Us,
even though it included false pedophilia allegations against Drake or
the lawsuit. It's so crazy that this is even happening,
(09:09):
because people can say anything in raps. It really is
just words, I mean anyway. The lawsuit also alleged that
the track harnished his reputation and decreased the value of
his brand. Universal Music Group is the parent label for
both artists, and they denied the allegations in a statement,
they said, we're pleased with the course dismissal and look
forward to continuing our work successfully promoting Drake's music and
(09:33):
investing in his career. So any comments about that, y'all,
how y'all feel about that?
Speaker 1 (09:39):
That's good, That's good they did it.
Speaker 7 (09:42):
That's a itch move on Drake, Honey, how you want
to suit because somebody said something like that, I mean
when you.
Speaker 8 (09:47):
Kind of lost the battle, like he had a battle
with Meek Meal and what happened there, Like nobody.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Sued like and I mean he was going in on
me like he was on top of the world.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Like, yes, that's part of hip hop.
Speaker 8 (10:01):
It is what it is. And you ain't got mad
and sued like this. Yeah, that just shows a whole
nother side of the person.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
That's the white side of him making.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
You know, wrap up the hot spot on that note.

So did your parents ever have a bizarre house rule
growing up? Because a lot of people did you know?
Some of these rules we still think about, like you
can't go outside barefoot until Easter. People online are sharing
the ones from their family and listen to the top one.
Some of them I never heard of. So let's start
at number one. No turning on the lights during thunderstorms.
Speaker 4 (12:54):

Speaker 5 (12:55):
Number two wearing clothes with faces on them. So that
means no Mickey Mouse shirts, no Kitty Cat shirts, nothing, either,
playing shirts with no graphics on them, or it had
to be of something not alive, like a soccer ball
or a pumpkin or something.

Somebody said, this is number three on this list. We
had one drink cup by the kitchen sink. Listen, y'all,
if you were thirsty, you use that cup and put
it back for other family members.

Speaker 5 (13:29):
We'd wash it in the dishwasher every two days or so. Yeah,
so if one person sticking at your bicy Okay, number
four on the list. I had to bring home the
plastic sandwich bags from my school lunch to be used
again the next day. They were washed and dried overnight.
I get that, you know, saving the money. I never

did either, But we used foil when I was little
rabies absolutely yeah, right, Okay, So here's another one. I
wasn't allowed to invite a friend over for a second
time until they invited me over to their house and

friends over and demanded they reciprocated before I could.
