that we don't even understand.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Father. There's chaos going on all over the world.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
There's stuff going on in our families, there's stuff going
on in our own hearts, minds, and souls. But today
we remind you of your word that you say you
give peace that passes all understanding. So, Father God, we
are the ones who are gonna stand and not be
wavered by the things that come or go. We are
(01:20):
going to be steadfast, We are gonna have joy. We
are gonna actually be love in the midst of a
world that's so divided. And I thank you, Father God.
The only way we're gonna be able to do that
is because not that we just have peace. You are
the Prince of peace. So today, help us be able
to walk in peace when somebody triggers us that work.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Thank you so much. Paths for Todd Entertainment on the
Ricky Smileing Morning.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Show, TI jon Us about that time front page right here, Afrita.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
This good morning, Good morning Ricky. It's Wednesday, October eighth.
Here's what's coming on in the news. President Trump now
says some furlough to federal workers might not get back
paid once the government reopens.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Really depends on who you're talking about.
Speaker 6 (02:57):
But for the most part, we're going to take care
of our people, the people that really don't deserve to
be taken care of, and will take care of them
in a different way.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Critics want to know which federal workers who are paying,
who are working without pay, don't deserve to get paid
for reference. Trump signed that law back in twenty nineteen,
guaranteeing back pay for every federal worker to protect them
from losing income during shutdowns, but a new memo from
the Office of Management and Budget says back pay is
not automatic and would still need Congress to approve it.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
House Speaker Mike Johnson says he.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
Is open to a separate bill to keep paychecks going
for the military end KEYFA air traffic controllers, but airports
are already feeling the strain. Nashville's air traffic controlled tower
went dark last night due to staffing shortages tied to
the shutdown. That's the second tower this week. After burbanks
went down on Monday, pilots had to call the regional
(03:51):
control center in Memphis for clearance. Now let's switch from
turbulence in Washington to turbulence at.
Speaker 7 (03:57):
The gate, or maybe a little less of it.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
American Airlines has ditched its metal bagsizers from the gate
to speed up boarding. Carry On rules do still apply,
but gate agents are told to air on the side
of the customer if a bag is only slightly over
The sizers have just been moved to check in for
travelers who want a double check beforehand. Americans also giving
families more preboarding time and adding new gate tech to
(04:20):
smooth the process.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
So ricky, Some people.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Need to recover after dealing with the airport and a
long flight. So you've probably seen those ivy hydration bars
popping up everywhere, especially in places like party spots in Vegas.
But a new study says those so called detox trips
might not be doing what you'd think.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
New research found.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
No evidence that ivy hydration actually helps the body detox.
The study says the industry is barely regulated, with many
providers lacking proper training. Researchers say it's risky business with
little to no oversight.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
For info on these stories.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
And more, gotta Kismiley Morning Show dot com. Now here's
a look at sports.
Speaker 8 (05:00):
He the sports genius is in the building. Yeah, let's
get it. Pipper Man w NBA Finals Game three tonight.
Las Vegas Aces and the Phoenix Mercury Aces are up
to Old Tip Office eight pm Eastern, seven pm Central.
The world was watching and listening to Lebron James big
(05:21):
decision yesterday.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Everybody was like, what is he gonna talk about. Here's
what he had to say. Fans want to know where
you're taking your talents this year. What's your decision?
Speaker 9 (05:30):
And it's fall I'm gonna be taking my talents to Hennessyvsop.
He said, Wait, I feel like it's gonna give me
the best opportunity to win more at hosting. Not only
that win that signature cocktails when having a good time.
We had a pressing guest. I like my decision.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
It was a Hennessy promotion. He's doing a partnership with
Hennessy vs. Yes, brilliant.
Speaker 7 (05:57):
All right, man?
Speaker 10 (05:58):
Uh. The Cincinnati Bengals they traded for Cleveland Brown's quarterback
Joe Flacco to try and help Cincinnati stay relevant while
Joe Burrow is out with injury. So that means Cleveland
brown depth chart at quarterback is now Dylan Gabriel at one,
Shadeorge Sanders at two, and of course Deshaun watching three.
But de Shaun ain't gonna play. So Deon Sanders was
(06:19):
asked his thoughts about this trade.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Yeah, I got it practice, I'm just wondering. I don't
give it Darren the Browns at all.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I care about the Colorado Buffalo's your door sating just
don't believe that.
Speaker 10 (06:34):
Come on, man, it is what it is. That is
it's just a matter of time for Shador to be
in there. But Brown's are one and four right now.
No disrespect to Dylan Gabriel, but she Door's gonna get
in there and you're gonna shake things up a little bit.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
That's just my opinion. Good morning, Brad. How you doing.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
I'm doing pretty good. How about yourself, sir?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Everything's amazing. There, Brikdy Tech. Drop it like it's hard,
Drop it like it's hard, all of eighteen Brett, what up?
Speaker 7 (07:04):
Ricky? Good morning everybody.
Speaker 11 (07:05):
I'm your girl, Brat Tat Tat and this is the
hot spotfere we bring you music, movies and more. So
let's get off into it. Well, y'all, it's official. Versus
is making a comeback. The No Limit Record versus against
Cash Money Records is going down. Oh lord, It's gonna
be live from Las Vegas on October twenty.
Speaker 7 (07:25):
Fourth, and yes, in ded it will be stream live.
Speaker 11 (07:29):
Now, let's look at how these two labels kind of
stack up against each other. Master pce No Limit Records
has sold over one hundred million albums worldwide, while Cash
Money has sold about one billion, along with Drake you know,
Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne and Young Money being a part
of that tally.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
The legendary career is of true big.
Speaker 11 (07:47):
Timers, Mere Ex Juvenile Silk, The Shaka BG and c
Murder will also impact the battle for No Limit Records.
Now this is crazy because they both heild from New Orleans.
Speaker 7 (07:57):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 11 (07:58):
Master p held it down before No Limit came and
then No Limit came and then held it down for
just everybody because they had so many people come out
under their umbrella.
Speaker 7 (08:07):
Who do y'all think will win this versus battle?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Let me tell you something.
Speaker 10 (08:10):
You gotta take cash Money before the Drake and Nicki
Minaj and all that. You gotta go back to the
heyday when it was just you know, come on man
and Lil Wayne when he was young, Little Wayne and
all them.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
So, come on, man, that's gonna be great.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
Yeah, it's gonna be who y'all think gonna win?
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Master P, master P his group cash Money?
Speaker 7 (08:30):
Okay, so you already.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Messed it up.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
It's gonna be tough to knock off No Limit.
Speaker 7 (08:38):
Yeah, it's oh man, it's it's they're gonna be. They
gonna be going crazy.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Thing.
Speaker 11 (08:45):
It's gonna be a real hype battle. What's some of
the battles that y'all really like the most? The versus
battles when you think of all the verses, Yeah, I
think Patty and Gladys was dope. Yeah, it was Snoopy
Dmax Ooh and the one with j Z and uh
Gucci got real crazy, like some of them got real crazy,
(09:09):
but they they have been some great entertainment. Especially when
it was COVID time. People was glued because there wasn't
nothing else to do. So, yeah, I can't wait to
see this. It's gonna be good. It's gonna be great entertainment.
So I'm glad it's finally back. I wonder who else
they gonna have next after that, because that's gonna be
a hard thing to follow.
Speaker 7 (09:27):
All right, y'all moving on.
Speaker 11 (09:29):
We all know that Bad Bunny will be the next
super Bowl halftime show headliner, But the rumor is that
Taylor Swip was asked by Rock.
Speaker 7 (09:36):
Nation to perform.
Speaker 12 (09:37):
Now.
Speaker 11 (09:37):
She recently appeared on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon
to address these rumors. She also clarified that the rumors
misrepresent the conversations between her team and jay Z's Rock Nation.
She also did not confirm that she was asked to perform,
but she was asked how she felt about it, and
here's what she said, Like.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Jay Z has always been very good to me.
Speaker 12 (09:57):
Our teams are really close, like it's They sometimes will
call and say, how does she feel about close? How
does she feel about it? We're always able to tell
him the truth, which is I am in love with
a guy who does that sport the whole season.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I am locked in on what that man is doing
on the field.
Speaker 12 (10:16):
Can you imagine if like he's out there every single week,
like putting his life on the line doing this very dangerous,
very high pressure, high intensity sport, And I'm like, I
wonder what my choreo should be.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
Yeah, but I was.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
He's putting his life on the line. He had a
damn up fire, dangerous.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
Chance.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
It don't matter.
Speaker 11 (10:46):
Your life is still on the line. People almost that
sometimes when they get tackled and hit. You see people
fall out and they helps them and all kinds of stuff.
You get concussions and the big big dudes be hitting
each other hard man westering football.

Let's talk about one of y'all's former students, mister Tremail Tillman.
He initially attended Xavier University to pursue a pre mad
degree before Hurricane Katrina. Tremail graduated from Jackson State in
two thousand and eight with a Bachelor of Science in
Mass Communications, graduating super cum Laudie. He became the first
(12:26):
African American man to obtain a Master of Fine Arts
in Acting from the University of Tennessee. Made television history
at the twenty twenty five Emmy Awards by becoming the
first black man to win Best Supporting Actor in a
Drama Series. He's a member of Alpha Pi Alpha Fraternity Incorporated.
He said Xavier University inspired him to follow his passion.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
You know, unfortunately I was told that I would never
make it as an actor, that it's a career that
leads to a dead end. But I was actually inspired
at Xavier University by so many of my classmates who
are now doctors and dentists. How they were pursuing the
thing that they were passionate about. And I said, well,
if they can do that thing, why can't I do
what I'm passionate about.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
So I just took a chance.
Speaker 6 (13:09):
And I've learned that there are no guarantees in life,
but you continue to take a chance and continue to
take a chance on yourself.
Speaker 10 (13:16):
For mail, tell me it all started at Jackson State University.

Timers, Mere Ex Juvenile Silk, The Shaka BG and c
Murder will also impact the battle for No Limit Records.
Now this is crazy because they both heild from New Orleans.
Speaker 7 (07:57):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 11 (07:58):
Master p held it down before No Limit came and
then No Limit came and then held it down for
just everybody because they had so many people come out
under their umbrella.
Speaker 7 (08:07):
Who do y'all think will win this versus battle?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Let me tell you something.
Speaker 10 (08:10):
You gotta take cash Money before the Drake and Nicki
Minaj and all that. You gotta go back to the
heyday when it was just you know, come on man
and Lil Wayne when he was young, Little Wayne and
all them.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
So, come on, man, that's gonna be great.
Speaker 7 (08:24):

Gucci got real crazy, like some of them got real crazy,

it was COVID time. People was glued because there wasn't
nothing else to do. So, yeah, I can't wait to
see this. It's gonna be good. It's gonna be great entertainment.

He initially attended Xavier University to pursue a pre mad
degree before Hurricane Katrina. Tremail graduated from Jackson State in
two thousand and eight with a Bachelor of Science in
Mass Communications, graduating super cum Laudie. He became the first

African American man to obtain a Master of Fine Arts
in Acting from the University of Tennessee. Made television history
at the twenty twenty five Emmy Awards by becoming the
first black man to win Best Supporting Actor in a
Drama Series. He's a member of Alpha Pi Alpha Fraternity Incorporated.
He said Xavier University inspired him to follow his passion.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
You know, unfortunately I was told that I would never
make it as an actor, that it's a career that
leads to a dead end. But I was actually inspired
at Xavier University by so many of my classmates who
are now doctors and dentists. How they were pursuing the
thing that they were passionate about. And I said, well,
if they can do that thing, why can't I do
what I'm passionate about.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
So I just took a chance.
Speaker 6 (13:09):
And I've learned that there are no guarantees in life,
but you continue to take a chance and continue to
take a chance on yourself.
