Speaker 5 (02:06):
Morning, Ricky. It's Wednesday, augut six. Here's what's going on
in the news. Texas Dems are still on the run
and now Republicans want the Feds involved. About fifty Democratic
lawmakers have fled the state in order to block a
Republican redistricting push that could hand the GOP five more
seats in Congress. Now, Texas Senator john Corn wants the

(02:27):
FBI to track them down. Meanwhile, Governor Abbott is asking
the State Supreme Court to oust Republican are actually Representative
Gene Wu, calling him the ring leader behind the walkout.
The Dems say they're standing on business for fair representation.
The GOP calls it obstruction. Either way, the standoff just
got Federal school is back in session for some men,

(02:48):
just days away for others across the country. But one
thing hitting classrooms early controversy. A new law requiring public
schools to post the Ten Commandments is already stirring up
legal drama. A federal judge just blocked enforcement in for
northwest Arkansas districts, but in Pine Bluff, where the ruling
doesn't apply, a group called Pastors on Patrol say they've

(03:11):
got the green light to start handing out framed posters.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
This is just common sense, common sense to help students
learn how to respect their parents, learn how to respect
their peers.

Speaker 5 (03:25):
Families in the blocked districts are suing, claiming the law
violates the First Amendment. Ricky and Ice Cream Shop is
turning heads and maybe stomachs with a new flavor inspired
by breast milk no it's not made with the real thing.
It's not made with a real thing. It's a collab
between baby care brand, Freeda and Off Limits ice cream

for Breastfeeding Awareness Month.

So let's get off into it, well, y'all. Jesze's recent
concert in Baltimore almost didn't happen until an unexpected hero
came to the rescue his uber driver. Jeszi shared on
Instagram that severe weather canceled all flights to DC and
Baltimore the morning of one of his Team one oh
one Live tour stops. Well, his backup plan a road

(07:26):
trip from Atlanta, but just after two hours in the
car hit something on the highway, puncturing the gas tank.
He and his team in her being stuck at a
tiny gas station in South Carolina with no rental car
or jet options, so Jez's team called an uber just
to get to the nearest rental place. That's when Tanner

(07:46):
and Uber driver showed up, and eight minutes into the ride,
Jezi asked how much to take us all the way
to Baltimore. Tanner thought about it and then agreed to
drive them all the way. Ten hours later, and just
ten minutes before showtime, they made it. Jeszu brought Tanner backstage,
gave him a Snowman tea, and shouted him out as
the real MVP.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Man square Man telling you, Jesus.

Speaker 7 (08:10):
Said, shout out to the real MVP, my Uber driver, Tanner.
Not all heroes wear cakes and a nice cash cash price.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yeah, ain't I know you got other stories, but let
let me just tell the story, y'all. One morning we
was in Florida, the whole morning show. So it was
a particular driver I can't remember his name, that the
one that bought you all over we was getting ready
to go on the boat. The man that was driving,
he was really really nice. Yes, he was listening to

(08:42):
the ricks by the morning show on hot Water Pie
had no idea that everybody that was in the car
on the morning show, and everybody was in there laughing and.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Gingling, nobody saying anything.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
And then by the time he got to the hotel,
when everybody saw talking, he started wrecking eyes of the voice.
Then that man got so excited and jumped out of
the truck. He was really really nice, took with everybody
and just he was warm and love it. I can't
think of his name, mister Bobby. Yes, yeah, mister Bobby.
Shut out to you, mister Bobby. That's what that story

(09:18):
with young Young Jesus remind me of. But he had
the whole morning show that he listened to every morning
in his uh in his car. And then he was
so excited that man jumped out of He was swimming,
breathing hard, trying to pull out that little flip. Oh,
she too got a flip falls taking them down, them
them pitches, them pitches blurry, but he got them.

Speaker 7 (09:38):
He was so excited, sor so excited. I think when
he saw you come out out of the hotel or
come around the corner to help us with our bags.
He then realized, oh my god, and he lost it.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
He so nice, Oh lord, having like a fresh Stamport moment. Yeah,
shut out to you, mus the Bobby. We appreciate you

Speaker 7 (10:11):
And before he even knew who he was, he was
still very nice, very and that's what's important, like before
you know anything about anybody, that you are nice before
you know all that, because then of course you're gonna
be nice then, you know what I'm saying. But it
was really he was really really nice. Shout out to
him and his wife because we let him call his
wife and she was excited too. So that was a
