All right, y'all, get ready for another edition of News and Trends with your host, Dave and Len.
Welcome.
Welcome, welcome to News and Trends with Dave and Len. This is one of your hosts, Mr.
(00:35):
David Coker, proprietor of Dave Mark, Inc., promoter, event planner,
and all-around good guy. And I'm hanging out with Mr. Leonard Young What's going on, sir?
Hey Dave, everything is good This is Leonard Young CEO of National Black Guide
DelawareBlack.com Black media specialist And all-around good guy How goes it, Dave?
(00:59):
Man, I can't call it It's another Tuesday And I ain't got no money Lies, lies.
So, but Just hanging out You know, it looks like we are counting the last few
days of summer down, right?
The weather looks like it changed a little bit.
(01:20):
And kids will be going back to school in the next week or so.
And, you know, it's crazy.
What happened, man? What happened to the summer? I don't know.
I don't know. You know, I guess, I guess, you know, next weekend is what is
Labor Day. So we got two, we got two weeks before Labor Day.
No, I thought it was next week. Is it not next weekend? Let me see.
(01:41):
The second is Labor Day, right?
Yeah. So next weekend, not this weekend. The following weekend is Labor Day.
Is Labor Day that weekend?
Yeah. Dave, sorry. Sorry. Sorry to be the one to break it to you. Oh my God. Okay. Oh man.
Woo. Yep. So if you think summer is going by quick, I think I just cut seven days off. Yeah.
(02:02):
In the summer. In the summer. Enjoy me.
Yeah. There you go. There you go. Well, we hope you guys had a good summer because
in the next next moment, you know, because you can see.
Excuse me. You can see that it's getting dark earlier now already.
And, you know, that's always strange when that happens.
(02:26):
And I guess that, you know, they've been toying with making the decision to
do away with Daylight Savings Time. But I guess they haven't done that yet.
I'm not sure what they're waiting for because it's like now it's just confused.
Yeah, it is. It is. It is. But hopefully everybody has, you know,
got a chance to do something exciting this summer.
(02:47):
You know, say like, well, there was a lot to do.
And of course, you know, we just had the Olympics that we just got through with.
And so for a couple of weeks, they kept things entertaining.
And, you know, so let's see what the rest of the year has.
Well, I guess right now the big thing is that we're looking towards the election.
So that's the next thing.
(03:07):
Yep. So we'll see what happens. So but I guess we got a few things that we want
to talk to you guys about today.
So I guess we should go ahead and go ahead and get into it.
And well, speaking of the election, Let's talk about the DNC convention,
Democratic National Convention.
(03:28):
I can't even talk right now. Yesterday, we got the start of the convention and
got a chance to see some of our favorite people speak.
Jasmine Crockett, Hillary Clinton.
Of course, Joe Biden got a chance to speak yesterday.
(03:49):
Yeah. What did you say? What was your take on stuff that you saw at the convention?
Well, Dave, kind of like I said earlier, I don't know, maybe I'm a hater,
but, you know, I felt like there was there was too much Joe Biden praise.
You know, I kind of feel like this is Kamala's time to shine.
(04:11):
And, I mean, you know, Joe Biden did what he did. And, you know, I'm not mad at him.
But, you know, I just all throughout yesterday, it seemed like the whole tone
of everything I was hearing or majority of what I was hearing was,
you know, thank you, Joe Biden, you did.
And I mean, not to say he did a bad job, but, you know, I just didn't think
(04:34):
to me that felt like the overall tone rather than people thinking Kamala, you know, she's up next.
Oh, that's interesting. That's an interesting way of looking at things.
I can see why you probably felt that way and got that impression because,
yes, they did give a lot of love to Joe Biden.
(04:56):
I mean, they had signs all over the stadium and, I mean, all over the auditorium there, I should say.
And, of course, you know, when he was finally introduced, man,
that ovation must have lasted about five or six minutes.
And we love you, Joe. And, you know, it was a lot going on as far as that's concerned.
(05:17):
But then I'm going to kind of play a little bit of devil's advocate with you
in reference to what you just said in saying that maybe a lot of it was because
this decision not to run wasn't because he just chose not to run.
He was put in position to not run, you know, due to a number of things,
(05:42):
including his health and a couple of other things that were going on.
You know, and the party supposedly not thinking that he was going to be able to win.
You know, he was kind of led. He was kind of led to making the decision to resign
and, you know, have Kamala step up to get the nomination.
(06:07):
So, you know, he still probably has feelings like I could have done this.
I still feel I could have done this, you know, in him, you know.
And when he got up there to speak yesterday, and a lot of people made this comment,
and I kind of got the impression, too, it didn't sound like it was passing of the torch.
It sounded like he was, I'm trying to think of another way of putting it.
(06:37):
It sounds like he was endorsing her because he had to.
Which is probably true. Yeah.
I'm sure those two have a great relationship.
And, you know, she definitely was the next person.
But, you know, his whole speech, you know, and he spoke for a long time because
(06:59):
normally they don't speak that long. He spoke for almost an hour.
And, you know, of course, he
chronicled his whole everything that they did while they were in office.
But he was also careful to make sure that he gave her credit for a lot of stuff, too.
But it didn't sound like it was the passing of the torch speech.
It did not. I will say that.
(07:19):
It just sounded like, okay, all right, this is what I did.
And just in case y'all forget. Right. Yeah. You know, so.
But, of course, the heavy hitters are coming through tonight.
I actually like Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders, I like. Like his speeches are
(07:42):
very good, too. Yeah, he is.
And Bernie, Bernie just kind of keeps everything raw, too.
You know, he, you know, he don't he don't pull no punches.
And he, you know, he's the he's definitely the political version of our boy,
our Curb Your Enthusiasm.
He's definitely Larry David. Larry David.
(08:05):
He is definitely, definitely Larry David in politics. You know,
he that is definitely, you know, and then we got Michelle and Barack,
former president Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama.
And of course, we already know they're going to turn it out. We already know. So.
(08:27):
So. And we got the second gentleman, Mr. M. M.
Speaking, which is Kamala's husband. So it should be an interesting night.
Set your VCRs. Set your DVDs. Set your DVRs.
Set your Pivos.
(08:48):
For those who still have those.
Because I'm sure you don't want to miss tonight.
Right now, based on some of the numbers that have come out, they're saying that
it's going to still be a close race.
I still find I find it hard to believe it's going to be a close race.
I really find it hard to believe. Dave, you know them Trump supporters,
(09:08):
they are a diehard. I know they are.
But did you see, you know, at the convention, there's a bunch of Republicans
for Kamala at the convention. Are there? No, I didn't see that.
And, like, I just got finished watching the interview with the governor from
Arizona, and he's a Republican, but he's a Republican for Kamala.
(09:31):
And he, And those guys just refuse to deal with Donald Trump.
And his people know it, and they won't deal with them either.
So, so they basically have been ostracized from the Republican Party based on
the fact that they will not support him.
(09:54):
You know, so and a bunch of them, a bunch of them are there at the convention
and they've been well received.
And, you know, that's interesting.
That is really interesting that that they, you know, I don't remember ever hearing
something like that before. Right.
So so this year, folks, it's the you can see there's a lot at stake.
(10:18):
You know, me and Leonard don't have to be the ones to tell you to get out there and vote.
But if you you know, we talked about the last election when Biden got elected,
how important it was to make that happen.
It's even more important this time around because it's it's somehow Trump gets in office.
He's already said he's going to turn everything upside down. Oh, yeah, I know.
(10:41):
You know, so, you know, it's not it's not going to be good if he gets in office, folks.
So don't sleep and do what you have to do.
You know, it is your right to vote for whoever you or whomever you feel like voting for.
But get out there and vote, period.
OK, we can't tell you to vote for. But we do know, be aware of what the possible
(11:09):
consequences can be for either candidate that you vote for.
OK, and what I mean by consequences, I don't necessarily mean bad on both parts.
But what I'm saying is just be smart about it and understand that you have done
your research and that you know what you're doing when you get out there to vote.
(11:29):
And it's not just for the presidency, because there's a lot of really important
elections going on right now.
Especially statewide, we have to look at our own state and putting in the next
governor, the new governor here in the state.
(11:51):
And that's even an interesting race right now. So we need to look at a lot of
the races that are going on, and it's not just here, but all across the country.
And just be smart about what you do. OK.
You got anything else to add there? No, I mean, you know, I think the same thing.
(12:13):
I think I feel like slowly but surely Trump will start pissing everybody off.
One thing I heard about real quick this week was that he was at an event and
he confused the Medal of Freedom with a civilian medal.
Well, he mixed up a civilian medal and a medal that goes to for a military honor.
(12:42):
And when it was brought up to him that he made the switch, he's like,
oh, well, you know, they're the same thing.
So there's some veterans that are a little upset that, you know,
he's mixing those up because, you know, one, they were injured in war and the
other people are, you know, you know, something different.
But I just say to say, I feel like slowly, but surely he's just going to start turning everybody off.
(13:05):
And, you know, I think that's why that Republican governor was at the convention,
because it's just, you know, you can only take so much.
I feel like once you recognize Trump for what he is, you can never go back.
So that's my final thought.
Yeah. Well, yeah. Once you recognize what he is. Well, first of all,
(13:26):
if it's taking you longer than five minutes to figure out who he is,
then you are a Trump supporter.
I can tell you that now. Yeah.
But I guess we'll see what happens as the rest of this week goes along with
the convention going on.
Finally getting a chance to hear Vice President Kamala Harris speak and accept the nomination.
(13:52):
And then let's see what kind of work gets done to make sure that it happens.
There's a lot of interesting history going on, too, by the way,
because, you know, they have Obama, President Obama speaking tonight.
Well, you know, it was 20 years ago that he launched his campaign there in Chicago.
(14:15):
And then there was also another significant because they said lightning can strike twice.
He, of course, eventually became president of the United States,
the first black president of the United States, but also first black first person
of mixed origin race, mixed race or origin, as you want to say.
(14:36):
Here we go again this could be the first black woman and also the first black
woman mixed origin herself so you know maybe this is the time you know Shazam.
You know so there we go we'll
(15:00):
see what happens alright moving on you
know there's been a lot of talk about this next story i've debated on whether
i want to even talk about it or not but you got you got young kids and that's
another reason that made me bring this up and they're teenagers right,
(15:21):
and this particular person that we're about to talk about next has really taking
the young people by storm.
Everybody knows her music and they, you know,
when you hear about music almost having cult-like capabilities and,
(15:42):
you know, putting you in that trance from the beats and so forth,
it's really true when you listen to music, especially music like this person's
music, because it has the same kind of mesmerizing beats to it.
You know what I mean? even though the lyrics crazy but this person and who am
(16:03):
i talking about ladies and gentlemen miss sexy red for those of you that don't
know who she is look her up.
But if you do know who she is she is one of the hottest female rappers or hip-hop artists out
there and she is also known to be one of the most ratchet people out there. Okay. Okay.
(16:29):
I was listening to on radio this morning. They were talking about this story
and I decided to bring it to our attention.
It's a little bit different than what we normally do. But this is what I felt
it was something we needed to talk about, because this is where is,
you know, a lot of our young people.
This is the type of people that they are following these days.
(16:52):
OK, so I'm going to read a little bit of the story.
They give you a little backdrop of what I'm talking about. So,
Sexy Red new lip gloss line uses shocking and gross name to sell product.
Okay. Sexy Red uses NSFW names for lip gloss line.
(17:16):
Sexy Red announced on Instagram that her lip gloss line, Northside Princess,
is dropping soon. In the IG post, which can be seen, there was a link below, the St.
Louis Rhymer showcased the new box the lip gloss will come in,
along with the wrist gain names for each.
(17:41):
Give me one moment here. Lost my place there. Okay. Dave E. discusses. Oh, I'm sorry.
Went into another story. It says the new improved at Sexy Red products is back
better than ever. Sexy Red wrote in the caption.
Introducing Northside Princess, the brand. Get Northside. My first product will be my lip gloss.
(18:07):
Now should i go through the names of the list or not i feel like you have to
because people are not familiar they won't know how gross and disgusting these names are okay all right,
i'm so glad you're the one who found the article and i'll let you read them all.
(18:27):
Yeah well he set me up by the way because you know normally i wouldn't i wouldn't
do this but But it struck me so crazily when I heard this.
I had to say, this is really what the world has come to.
So this is the name of her lip gloss. Go through the names.
(18:50):
Don't judge me here. I'm just letting you all know. It's not me.
Okay. The lip gloss are called Hootie Youth Bootyhole Brown.
Nut pussy hole pink okay yellow
discharge there you go is your
(19:13):
church congregation are they listening to this episode because
you're a heathen anyway i was over look just let me get through this okay all
right gonorrhea blue balls sex on my period which is a fruit sanded lip gloss She also posted on X,
(19:34):
formerly known as Twitter, introducing Northside Princess, the brand,
and my first product will be my lip gloss, and I'm so excited.
As for the pink lip gloss box, it contains the words sexy gloss and cute red
font and seems to carry a Y2K anesthetic.
(19:59):
The rapper has yet to reveal where to purchase her lip hair brand or how much it is.
Sexy red shocks fans with wild lip gloss names.
Names it's a last september the 26
year old rapper revealed that she was getting ready to drop the new line of
lip gloss with several sexually explicted name explicit names that mirror her
(20:22):
brazen personality now there's more to the story but i'm gonna stop there now with all that's,
being said about the lip gloss and it's,
packaged very nicely and whatever they have already sold out of pre-orders already
(20:42):
and it hasn't even hit the market yet but the pre-orders that he had put out
there on her site are sold out,
I know Leonard's shaking his head folks he didn't say anything he's just shaking
his head this is the world that we live in,
now And I'm sure the lip gloss might be good lip gloss.
(21:05):
You know, it may be just regular lip gloss. But just the fact that she chose
to name them what she named them.
And to go along with her personality and everything, which made her famous.
And she has already sold out of the pre-orders.
(21:25):
It's amazing to me. like okay you have you have well let's talk about your daughter
your daughter no I'm just saying let's talk about your daughter your daughter
knows who sexy red is right yes,
does she like sexy red,
not specifically no,
(21:47):
okay and I just say you know the music it's hard not to hear on the radio it's
hard probably you know not to hear you know her friends listen to them but she's not,
A sexy red fan, but she may like one or two of the songs, if that makes sense.
OK, that makes sense. That makes sense.
And it's hard not to like one or two of the songs because it's on the radio, like you said.
(22:12):
Right now, at one time.
None of her songs would have been on the radio. I mean, one time.
I'll never forget when Lil' Kim came out, who pretty much was the prototype
for a lot of the female rappers that are out right now.
A lot of her stuff, you know, you couldn't play all of her stuff on the radio when she came out.
(22:38):
And a lot of stuff they did play was mostly collaborations she did with other people.
But her hardcore stuff, You didn't hear that on the radio.
Right. You had to buy the albums to hear that stuff.
But nowadays, you can hear anything you want to hear on the radio now. Darn it.
(22:59):
It sells and so forth. Your daughter, who's her favorite hip hop artist? Female. So female.
Female. I'm not sure. I know she liked Bryson Tiller. Okay.
Female rapper. I'm not sure.
Sure. And I mean, I can say I do not hear her listening to a lot of rap,
(23:20):
but I would guess if she had one, it would probably be something similar to
like an ice spice or a lot of.
OK. All right. Yeah, that makes sense. And especially those two.
Or they I'm sorry. Or Glorilla, something like that.
And what do all three of those have in common, by the way?
(23:44):
Yeah there you go there you go and that's what makes them you know that also
that's a whole another story in the colorism part of everything because those
artists usually sell because of the way they look.
(24:04):
Right now, rap is basically being ran by females right now. And you agree?
I don't know about being ran by females, but I think they just like we learn
the females, they have a lot of influence.
They have the buying power that they're shoppers.
So I feel like they definitely play a large role in pushing a lot of these female
(24:26):
rappers to the forefront.
Well, I don't mean just that. I don't mean that type of way,
but I'm saying as far as the charts and everything.
They are basically the people, when you look at the top 10 hip hop songs out
there, I guarantee you probably five or six of them are probably females. Right. Right.
(24:46):
I mean, you know, so, and then they're smart enough to do a lot of labos together
to increase their hold on the game right now.
But when you have, when you have somebody like a sexy red, who.
I mean she, I mean I don't know if it was her ideal to push herself this way
(25:13):
I'm sure it wasn't because there's always somebody that's behind the scenes
that's creating these people but she basically,
flaunts who she is and does not hold anything back as far as who she presents
herself to be which is ratchet which is you know when you i mean when you look at her you know.
(25:40):
There's really nothing all that spectacular about her, but you know,
but she has all these fans because she's that, she presents herself as that
person from the hood that you can relate to.
Yeah. And I, you know, I think that's a point too.
She's speaking to a demographic who probably lives or live or wants to live
(26:05):
a lifestyle just like she has.
Yeah. And it's probably a demographic where, you know, they'll listen to other
music, but they listen to her music and, you know, they can relate to it.
That's true. That's true. I saw a reel on Instagram one day and they were showing
her performing on stage.
(26:25):
Stage and then it was a
guy who was in the audience and
he said i can't believe how many women over
40 are here dancing and rapping to her music and so that state what you just
said just then made a lot of sense because i saw it in that reel and i'm like
(26:49):
why are they there you know amongst all these younger girls or whatever.
And mouthing every word to her songs. Oh, I'm sure.
Dave, some of your co-workers and some people I know over 40,
they might have been some of the ones helping this lip gloss spread out.
(27:09):
I know. It's scary. It is scary.
Dave, what would you do if you walk into work tomorrow.
And you compliment one of your you
know your co-workers and she's like
dave this is it that new sexy red booty
hole brown you like it what are you gonna say and what are you gonna think let
(27:32):
it i'll probably just look at her just walk away i said i ain't got no comment
i said this i'll probably just say you need to listen to my last show that's
probably what i was saying you know so.
I say, you know, and I'm sure I'm going to come across somebody at some point
(27:52):
that has one of her lip gloss on once it hits the market.
Yeah, I'm sure. And, you know, at the same point, I can't be mad at her.
You know, I think these rappers, a lot of times they're they're a moment of
fame is short and they just try to get on everything they can.
And to me, be honest, anybody of influence should have a product.
(28:15):
So you know i mean they they should because it's like i mean think about it she sold out pre-sale.
They she might not even been real with this
lip gloss but she sold out pre-sale you know this thing going to production
tonight yeah yeah that's right that's right i mean think about that folks he
(28:37):
sold out pre-sale and the product hadn't even been put out yet you know and
you know when When you sell out pre-sale,
that means you got something legit on your hands, you know.
So, you know, and a lot of it is based on who you are.
I mean, when you look at some of the top commercials on TV right now,
a lot of them have rappers in it or using rap songs from those rappers that we're talking about.
(29:02):
Lotto and Meg. Meg's in about three or four commercials right now, you know.
So, you know, so and rapping at conventions at, you know, was he at the Republican
Convention rapper? Wasn't that?
Yes, he was there. Right. Yeah. Yeah.
(29:24):
So so this is this is the type of stuff that we're talking about.
I just I thought I heard the story. What do you call them? They were talking about it on them.
Oh, on Power 99 this morning. And so I went and looked the story up,
and I was just like flabbergasted.
I was just like, wow, this is crazy.
You know, so I said, this is something we got to talk about.
(29:47):
So, folks, if you got young people, or if you know people, or even yourself,
are you getting some of these flavors?
Some of this lip gloss to put on your lips? I hope not. you know so I'm just
saying you know because you go to church oh that lip gloss looks good on you
(30:09):
what's it called you know.
The only thing they can say is brown that's all they can say,
it's a lip gloss from sexy red because everybody going
to look at you as soon as you say it so you know but you
guys give us your thoughts it's on it check the story
(30:30):
out you'll see what i'm talking about and you'll see what happened
well you can tell us what happens when you buy
some for yourself okay so all right
moving on to our next story yep so
they are next story and this is less of a booty hole brown story but more of
a what can brown do for you okay so there was a ups driver is that brown or
(30:57):
fedex which one When do they talk about what can Brown do for you? That's Brown. Huh?
UPS is Brown. Okay, good. All right. So I was correct. So this is a story more
of what can Brown do for you.
So there was a UPS driver in Georgia and he's riding down the street,
you know, on his route and he sees a woman who is laying down on her driveway.
(31:24):
What would you do, Dade? If you're riding down the street, let's say going home
in your neighborhood because you live about five miles off the road and you
pass somebody's house and you see someone laying down the driveway,
an older lady, what would you do?
Well, I would probably stop and go over to her and see if she's OK.
OK, well, you are definitely a good Samaritan. him.
(31:45):
So that was the same thing that this guy had done. He stopped his car,
went over to her and realized that she had some type of medical emergency.
Of course, that was, you know, one of the days during the heat wave was 102 degrees.
When he got out, he saw that she had groceries that looked like they were kind
(32:05):
of spilled, you know, around.
So he helped her up and he helped her groceries, called the medical personnel.
And he basically said he's proud of what he did. He gives all the glory to God
because without God, he wouldn't have been there.
But it just kind of makes me think, baby, how often we have opportunities to
(32:31):
help people or people look like they need help and we're busy with our lives.
And I just think about And I felt kind of guilty. I was right.
I felt guilty, but I know how relationships were.
We were riding down the street and there looked like a lady and she was on the
(32:53):
side of the road and it looked like her car had broken down.
You already know where I'm going. I know where you go. And I commented and I
said something about it. And if my wife had given the go ahead,
I probably would have pulled over and, you know, made sure everything was OK.
But I did not get the go ahead. I know how relationships go.
(33:18):
And I just kept on going, you know. And, you know, Dave, this lady was not any,
you know, not like a pretty lady or, you know, anything like that.
I was just a regular, degular lady.
But I know how relationships go. And I just minded my business and kept on driving.
But long story short, you know, there are a lot of times, you know,
we do have opportunities to help people.
(33:39):
And the question is, do we do it or do we not?
So I just thought this was interesting because this was one person who went
out of his way to check on somebody who looked like they were distressed.
Yeah, these days, you know, we don't have discernment when it comes to being
(34:01):
helpers and doing Samaritan-type work,
as we call it, because there's just too many things that can go wrong.
And a lot of people feel that way about it.
See somebody laying on the ground, you go to help them up.
(34:23):
Say you pull too hard or something like that and something, you know, you damage,
you know, some reason they get some type of pain or tweak or something next
thing, you know, you'd be a suit or, you know, it's just so many things that can happen.
It's a good thing that he did do what he did because, you know,
(34:43):
especially us older people, notice I said us older people,
yeah nowadays when it comes
to when you said
i know what you meant you meant your your group of
people anyway anyway
when when people when people especially
(35:04):
in you know we had a real hot summer this summer and
so we had a lot of people that probably did not
need to be out in the heat but so long you know
you have to be real careful about looking
out for people yeah that
thing even with you in that situation we're riding past the lady with the car
(35:24):
i you know how many times i see people on the side of the road and i just kind
of pay attention to see if people will even slow up and people don't keep going
you know and you know i remember about two years ago,
right at the it was right after the pandemic had started to you know.
(35:47):
Subside and everything I remember somebody was stopped on the side of the road
and they looked like they were trying to put gas in their car they had apparently had a gas can,
and they were trying to figure out how to put the gas in because I don't know
you know some of those gas cans had that yeah yeah Yeah.
(36:09):
So and they couldn't get the gas to come out, go out. You know,
I'm sitting at a light. I could see them what they were doing.
So I'm sitting there having a debate with myself. Dave, should you stop and
go over there and show them how to do what they're trying to do?
Or should you keep going?
There was two cars ahead of me and I know they saw the person. They just kept going.
(36:33):
And I said, OK, I'm a pullover. so I pulled over and they had two kids with
them too that was another thing and so I said to her what's the problem and she said.
The gas won't come out of this can so I can get it into the car.
And I said, yes, some of these things are tricky because they have like one
(36:53):
of those stop things in there.
And it's like you have to hold it a certain way or you got to push it in.
Some of them you have to push it, push it all the way in to get it to open.
You know, so I said, maybe you wasn't putting it in correctly.
Directly so i picked the can up and i looked at it and i said let me um let
(37:15):
me try it and i remember i put it in like part of the way and nothing was coming
out so i remember pushing it all the way in,
then all of a sudden the gas started flowing i said
okay so it was one of those release type things that you
had to push it all the way in like you will put the nozzle of a gas pump in
you know and she said oh my god she said i was having a fit because she said
(37:38):
i didn't know what i was going to do because i had to walk to get the gas and
so this was on kirkwood highway,
and she had to walk like a couple miles up the road to a gas station to get
the gas and and then walk back to her car with her kids so she was going through
something that day so i I was glad that I stopped.
(38:01):
Then she tried to, he tried to give me some money. She said,
I don't have any cash on me.
I just started laughing because I'm thinking to myself, it was a white lady.
So, you know, well, of course you're going to tell me you ain't got no cash
on you. Right. Of course.
She said, but I can cash tap you.
I said, no, no, no, no, I'm good. Don't worry about it.
(38:25):
Long as you're able to get to where you, do you want me to follow you to the gas station?
Because she said, I got to go to a gas station. And I said, well,
you want me to follow you to make sure?
And she said, well, no, I don't want to take you out of here.
I said, I'm going this way anyway, so I'll just follow you up the road.
So I made sure she got to the gas station, and she was fine. So.
(38:45):
This is the type of stuff that, you know, but when I was coming up,
that kind of stuff happened all the time.
But today is a whole different day and time. No, it is. I know the people that you're dealing with.
These people are crazy out here in these streets now, you know. So, yeah.
So, but anyway, but that's a good story. I'm glad that Brown did do something for them.
(39:08):
And sure that she was very appreciative of everything and so forth.
That could have been somebody's mom. He probably was saying,
hey, that could have been my mom, you know? So, you know, so.
All right. Okay.
Going from a good story to a not so good story.
Have you, did you hear about this, by the way, what I'm getting ready to talk
(39:31):
about? Yep. I saw the video and all.
Okay. Yeah. Okay. All right. This is caught on camera.
New Jersey bus driver brutally beats my passenger. who spat on him allegedly.
Now, a lot of people said no way it was allegedly that he definitely did do
(39:52):
that. Yeah, I'm sure. Yeah.
It says, I'm going to read this. It says, a typically mundane commute on a New
Jersey transit bus took a wild and shocking turn last Friday when the driver, Teron Walker,
was arrested following a violent altercation with a passenger your.
(40:16):
The incident, which has since gone viral through multiple video clips and circulations online,
left dozens of commuters horrified
and sparked widespread discussion about passenger safety and conduct.
The chaos unfolded on August 16 when Walker, who was reportedly first assaulted
(40:40):
by the passenger, retaliated with a violent beatdown.
Videos from the scene show the driver putting the male passenger in a chokehold,
threatening his life, and loudly recommending him for allegedly spitting on
him earlier during the ride.
Overall, the videos captured the tension and fear amongst bystanders,
(41:02):
with frantic calls for Walker to cease his assault.
In another clip, Walker is seen commanding other commuters to back away before
continuing his aggressive attacks.
The passenger appears defenseless, covering his head with his hand in a desperate
attempt to shield himself from the barrage of punches.
(41:22):
Authorities were called to the scene at the broadened Lafayette streets,
responding promptly to the reports of physical altercation.
Newark Police Safety Director Fritz Fajay confirmed that both Walker and the
passenger were arrested and now face charges of aggravated assault.
Despite the severity of the incidents, there was no immediate reports of life threatening injuries.
(41:49):
Now, that I saw the video and my mouth just dropped open. I was like, wow. Wow.
Now, of course, no one, no one, especially these days and time,
wants to be spit on. Right. It's nasty.
Full of germs. I mean, all kinds of things could come from someone getting spit on.
(42:15):
I mean, especially with all the diseases and stuff out there now.
But the beat down that that dude took.
Because that bus driver was wailing on him. No, he was.
In fact, the first time I saw the video, I saw it with no sound on.
Yeah. And it's funny, even with no sound on, you still knew exactly what happened.
(42:39):
You could feel the punch, even with no sound on. You could feel the punch.
Now, I did not know that he spit on him.
But my thought was he said something like, you know, like B-I-T-C-H,
you know, something to kind of. But I knew there was something that sparked in that bus driver.
And I knew it would get serious when the bus driver signaled for everybody to
go to the back of the bus to move out the way. Yeah.
(43:03):
But, you know, did you hear did you hear him chastising the guy saying,
you spit on me? No, nobody spits on me. Yeah.
No, I didn't. And but, you know, I think it just goes to show that,
you know, a lot of these young people have grown up with no discipline,
nobody to show them discipline.
So, you know, when they get to some of these OGs like that bus driver probably
(43:27):
had a long day or probably one hundred and two degrees, you know, tired, hungry.
And, you know, dude just snapped on. Yeah. He had enough.
Yeah, it was intense.
It was one of those videos. Matter of fact, when you go to the link,
it tells you, well, it was too intensified of a video to show it there that
(43:51):
you had to go to YouTube to look at it.
You know, because they said that it was, I mean, the beatdown was crazy, man.
I'm surprised that guy was not bleeding all over the place the way he was hitting them.
You know and you know you can hear the people in the background stop stop you
know but you know what nobody did you know there's nobody grabbed him no,
(44:13):
Nobody wanted no parts of that beating that he was giving that other guy, man.
I've broken up many fights in my day. So you wouldn't have been a good Samaritan?
I wouldn't have touched that dude. Would you have been a good Samaritan and broken it up?
I would have tried to talk to him, but I wouldn't have touched him because he
(44:33):
was too far in. He was too far in. He was gone.
That dude was gone when he was gone. He looked like George Foreman,
beating up a little kid man that's what he looked
like i mean and that guy and the
guy he was beating up on was a lot smaller than him and
you know the guy's trying to cover his head
(44:53):
i mean and he was look he was coming from the floor with punches i mean i didn't
hit that dude man you know he was i mean you know uh i mean that guy probably
would never get on that bus get on the bus he probably He probably has PTSD now from that on.
I'm sure he does. Plus, his own video is spread all over the internet.
(45:19):
For people in his hometown, they probably know exactly what his name is. Yeah.
Pookie then got beat up again, y'all. But this time, he got beat up real good.
So I was looking at the news. On the news tonight, they said that both of them
were charged with aggravated assault.
So they both did get charged for aggravated. The guy, of course,
(45:40):
is on leave from his job, the bus driver.
And there was a lot of mixing because they talked to a couple of people about
what happened that were on the bus.
And, you know, all of them said nobody is spit on another person.
They all said that. But they also said.
And he shouldn't have beat him down like that either. You know,
(46:05):
a matter of fact, one woman said that she feared for the guy's life because
at one point when he was choking him, she thought he was going to kill him at that point. Oh, wow.
Yeah. Yeah. So, so folks don't get on any buses and spit on any bus drivers
these days. Cause it won't be good.
(46:25):
No, not, not at all. I think we did a story a couple of years ago where we talked
about a bus driver had the gun.
You remember that? There was a guy in the bus driver who had a gun on a passenger.
Yeah. Yeah. Because the passenger was giving them a hard time.
These bus drivers, they are protecting themselves because they know how crazy it is out here now.
(46:47):
You don't want to try these bus drivers out here these days.
Now, some of them may not fight you back. I will. You know.
So, I just thought that was an interesting story.
Folks, I don't know how you would have handled it, you know,
but just make sure if you're in Newark, New Jersey, ask the bus driver that
(47:09):
beat up the guy who's driving your bus today.
And be nice to him that day. Please be nice to him. And Dave,
I can say, those people in Newark, New Jersey don't play.
They are serious about standing on their business. That's right.
Yeah, that's right. Okay.
Alright. Well, it looks like we made it to...
(47:36):
Leonard's favorite part of the show, which is Dave's Corner.
And so here is today's Dave's Corner question.
It says, give me a TV show and a movie that you feel closely resembles your life as a child.
(47:57):
And for that, I want a TV show.
Okay. And a movie that resembles your life now.
So think about your childhood. Think about, you know, a movie,
I mean, a TV show that you kind of can kind of relate it to as a child growing up.
(48:18):
And then take a moment to think about your life now.
What movie you think you would be able to relate to?
Now, this is very hard because I don't know. I wanted it to be hard.
I wanted to be a hard question.
All right. Well, it's so hard. I don't got to answer. Good. You got to answer.
You happy now? You happy now with your hard questions?
(48:42):
Let me. Why you think it? I'll tell you. I'll go first. I'll let you off the
hook while you think it. Okay.
Why? Because I know you got it takes you a moment to think of these things.
So I'll do my TV show. Then you do your TV show. Then I'll do my movie and you do your movie. Okay.
He's on the computer looking up shows right now. I am. I am.
(49:04):
And I'm listening to my wife yell upstairs, so yelling at the TV.
Well, my TV show would be, and it's quite easy for me because I basically was
right there when it was happening. It was good times.
I was living in the projects at the time.
(49:26):
Could relate to the family that Florida and James Evans had.
And project life was different.
Now it wasn't as intense living where I lived at as it was for the,
for the Evans family on good times, but we had a lot of fun.
It was interesting living in the projects and definitely I can relate to what
(49:51):
that family went through.
So that's my TV show.
Okay. That's interesting.
Okay. All right, your turn. It's for a TV show. Let's see.
I'm still thinking.
Hey, this is hard. No, I know. See, I got to keep you on your toes, man.
(50:16):
I got one for you, Silver Spoons. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha.
I'm going to say what's happening.
Oh, okay. Now that's interesting that you would say that.
And I'm going to say that. Which character could you relate to on what's happening?
(50:41):
D. D.
That figures yeah but but
the reason why i say it is because my brother
was a lot older than me so you know
like that age gap between b and what's his
name roger roger roger um yep so the age gap and i was probably the annoying
(51:06):
little brother who got on his nerves and i'll instead of mama It'll be my father
because I majority lived with him growing up,
but he was always at work and he'd come home late at night and I'd be lined
up ready to tell on my brother.
Daddy, guess what? David did my brother, David. That is. Yeah. Yeah.
(51:31):
So I can kind of compare it to that. Okay. All right.
My movie would be I mean, yeah, my movie would be Life. The movie Life with
Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence.
(51:53):
I knew you were a jailbird.
No, not so much because of the jail part, but because of the relationship,
you know, having that type of relationship with, you know, somebody that you
And then building relationships that you've done with all the people that you
come across in your life.
(52:14):
One of my favorite scenes that I can truly relate to is there's a scene in there
where the years had gone by because they had been there for a long time.
And you start seeing all the people that they had come in contact with fade
from their life because they all passed away and they were no longer there.
(52:37):
And that scene always stayed in my head because I think about all the people
that I've come across over my life that are no longer here.
And you just kind of one day they're there and one day they're not.
And as you get older, because that's what they were doing is getting older,
less and less of their friends were still around. Right.
(53:00):
So that's why I can relate to
it. But, you know, not so much the jailbird thing, but to the other part.
All right. So the movie that I think resembles my life now is Limitless.
Have you seen that movie? No, never. Never saw it. Who's in it?
Dave, I'm going to let you do your research. It was Bradley Cooper.
(53:26):
Long story short, Bradley Cooper, it was a movie where he found this drug.
I guess he was a drug addict.
And the drug addict made him be able to... So, let's say they say humans were
only able to use 13% of our brain.
This pill that he would take allowed him to use It was like 50 percent of his brain.
(53:51):
So he was able to do so much more with, you know.
So anyway. So the reason why I think about it, because I feel like so in the
movie, they always had they almost had him going in fast motion,
which, you know, regular motion.
But he was doing so much more in that same span of time.
So I say for myself, because I feel like I'm always moving where it's like,
(54:16):
man, I know, of course, I don't have no blue pill, but I just feel like,
you know, you talk about it.
Yeah, you know, up and down state kids, no kids, you know, married,
you know, trying to do these businesses.
I got Dave calling me asking why we're not doing a podcast.
(54:38):
I mean, it's just so many variables crammed into this 24 hour day.
So that's why I said, but if you get a chance, check it out.
It's actually a good movie.
And it's one of my favorite movies. So is it with Bradley Cooper? OK, all right.
All right. All right.
Let me make sure I'm saying his name right.
(55:01):
Bradley Cooper. Yeah. Bradley Cooper. Yeah. No, I just want to make sure I was
speaking to the right actor.
Okay. All right. Okay. All right. I've never heard of it, so I will look for it. So, okay.
All right. Well, that's what Leonard said, so that's what we're going to go with, folks.
So, you guys, when you get a chance, see if you can answer that question and
(55:23):
see what TV show and movie would best describe your life as a child growing
up and your life now. Okay?
All right. Oh, and before we sign off, I want to say Leonard and I were blessed
to find out that we got some good news that we were,
(55:44):
I guess, I don't want to say honored, but I guess we found out that we were ranked.
We were. OK, we found out that we were ranked on a website called SpeedSpot.
As one of the best 60 best entertainment podcasts out there on the airwaves there.
(56:11):
And when we checked our rank out, we were ranked number four on their list.
So we want to take the time to thank everybody who's been listening to us over
the last three years, three plus years, actually get ready going to year number
four in a couple of months.
And thank you for taking the time to listen to us.
And liking what we do and, you know,
(56:36):
I actually get tired of having to carry Leonard all this time,
but I'm glad that he allowed me to do that and we're able to put on the show that we do.
It's really a... So, everybody, I just put Dave's microphone on mute. He doesn't...
So, clearly, Dave, this is the first time I put your microphone on mute.
(56:58):
You have to unmute it yourself. It won't let me unmute it.
There we go. This is the kind, like I said, carrying Leonard all this time.
Hold up, hold up, hold up. Don't mute me again, don't mute me again.
I feel another mute coming.
But we just want to say thank you to everybody who's ever listened to the show,
(57:18):
whether you listen once or you listen all the time.
We want to thank you guys who have ever listened to the show and given us an
opportunity to fill your airways with information and the things that we like
to talk about each and every week.
So thank you. We appreciate you. Leonard, you got anything you want to say? No, Dave, it's all you.
(57:41):
Okay. And we appreciate you and keep listening. We got more coming to you. Okay.
And we'll talk to you next week with more information. All right.

Welcome.
Welcome, welcome to News and Trends with Dave and Len. This is one of your hosts, Mr.

David Coker, proprietor of Dave Mark, Inc., promoter, event planner,
and all-around good guy. And I'm hanging out with Mr. Leonard Young What's going on, sir?
Hey Dave, everything is good This is Leonard Young CEO of National Black Guide
DelawareBlack.com Black media specialist And all-around good guy How goes it, Dave?
(00:59):
Man, I can't call it It's another Tuesday And I ain't got no money Lies, lies.
So, but Just hanging out You know, it looks like we are counting the last few
days of summer down, right?
The weather looks like it changed a little bit.
(01:20):
And kids will be going back to school in the next week or so.
And, you know, it's crazy.
What happened, man? What happened to the summer? I don't know.
I don't know. You know, I guess, I guess, you know, next weekend is what is
Labor Day. So we got two, we got two weeks before Labor Day.
No, I thought it was next week. Is it not next weekend? Let me see.
(01:41):
The second is Labor Day, right?
Yeah. So next weekend, not this weekend. The following weekend is Labor Day.
Is Labor Day that weekend?
Yeah. Dave, sorry. Sorry. Sorry to be the one to break it to you. Oh my God. Okay. Oh man.
Woo. Yep. So if you think summer is going by quick, I think I just cut seven days off. Yeah.
(02:02):
In the summer. In the summer. Enjoy me.
Yeah. There you go. There you go. Well, we hope you guys had a good summer because
in the next next moment, you know, because you can see.
Excuse me. You can see that it's getting dark earlier now already.
And, you know, that's always strange when that happens.
(02:26):
And I guess that, you know, they've been toying with making the decision to
do away with Daylight Savings Time. But I guess they haven't done that yet.
I'm not sure what they're waiting for because it's like now it's just confused.
Yeah, it is. It is. It is. But hopefully everybody has, you know,
got a chance to do something exciting this summer.
(02:47):
You know, say like, well, there was a lot to do.
And of course, you know, we just had the Olympics that we just got through with.
And so for a couple of weeks, they kept things entertaining.
And, you know, so let's see what the rest of the year has.
Well, I guess right now the big thing is that we're looking towards the election.
So that's the next thing.
(03:07):
Yep. So we'll see what happens. So but I guess we got a few things that we want
to talk to you guys about today.
So I guess we should go ahead and go ahead and get into it.
And well, speaking of the election, Let's talk about the DNC convention,
Democratic National Convention.
(03:28):
I can't even talk right now. Yesterday, we got the start of the convention and
got a chance to see some of our favorite people speak.
Jasmine Crockett, Hillary Clinton.
Of course, Joe Biden got a chance to speak yesterday.
(03:49):
Yeah. What did you say? What was your take on stuff that you saw at the convention?
Well, Dave, kind of like I said earlier, I don't know, maybe I'm a hater,
but, you know, I felt like there was there was too much Joe Biden praise.
You know, I kind of feel like this is Kamala's time to shine.
(04:11):
And, I mean, you know, Joe Biden did what he did. And, you know, I'm not mad at him.
But, you know, I just all throughout yesterday, it seemed like the whole tone
of everything I was hearing or majority of what I was hearing was,
you know, thank you, Joe Biden, you did.
And I mean, not to say he did a bad job, but, you know, I just didn't think
(04:34):
to me that felt like the overall tone rather than people thinking Kamala, you know, she's up next.
Oh, that's interesting. That's an interesting way of looking at things.
I can see why you probably felt that way and got that impression because,
yes, they did give a lot of love to Joe Biden.
(04:56):
I mean, they had signs all over the stadium and, I mean, all over the auditorium there, I should say.
And, of course, you know, when he was finally introduced, man,
that ovation must have lasted about five or six minutes.
And we love you, Joe. And, you know, it was a lot going on as far as that's concerned.
(05:17):
But then I'm going to kind of play a little bit of devil's advocate with you
in reference to what you just said in saying that maybe a lot of it was because
this decision not to run wasn't because he just chose not to run.
He was put in position to not run, you know, due to a number of things,
(05:42):
including his health and a couple of other things that were going on.
You know, and the party supposedly not thinking that he was going to be able to win.
You know, he was kind of led. He was kind of led to making the decision to resign
and, you know, have Kamala step up to get the nomination.
(06:07):
So, you know, he still probably has feelings like I could have done this.
I still feel I could have done this, you know, in him, you know.
And when he got up there to speak yesterday, and a lot of people made this comment,
and I kind of got the impression, too, it didn't sound like it was passing of the torch.
It sounded like he was, I'm trying to think of another way of putting it.
(06:37):
It sounds like he was endorsing her because he had to.
Which is probably true. Yeah.
I'm sure those two have a great relationship.
And, you know, she definitely was the next person.
But, you know, his whole speech, you know, and he spoke for a long time because
(06:59):
normally they don't speak that long. He spoke for almost an hour.
And, you know, of course, he
chronicled his whole everything that they did while they were in office.
But he was also careful to make sure that he gave her credit for a lot of stuff, too.
But it didn't sound like it was the passing of the torch speech.
It did not. I will say that.
(07:19):
It just sounded like, okay, all right, this is what I did.
And just in case y'all forget. Right. Yeah. You know, so.
But, of course, the heavy hitters are coming through tonight.
I actually like Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders, I like. Like his speeches are
(07:42):
very good, too. Yeah, he is.
And Bernie, Bernie just kind of keeps everything raw, too.
You know, he, you know, he don't he don't pull no punches.
And he, you know, he's the he's definitely the political version of our boy,
our Curb Your Enthusiasm.
He's definitely Larry David. Larry David.
(08:05):
He is definitely, definitely Larry David in politics. You know,
he that is definitely, you know, and then we got Michelle and Barack,
former president Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama.
And of course, we already know they're going to turn it out. We already know. So.
(08:27):
So. And we got the second gentleman, Mr. M. M.
Speaking, which is Kamala's husband. So it should be an interesting night.
Set your VCRs. Set your DVDs. Set your DVRs.
Set your Pivos.
(08:48):
For those who still have those.
Because I'm sure you don't want to miss tonight.
Right now, based on some of the numbers that have come out, they're saying that
it's going to still be a close race.
I still find I find it hard to believe it's going to be a close race.
I really find it hard to believe. Dave, you know them Trump supporters,
(09:08):
they are a diehard. I know they are.
But did you see, you know, at the convention, there's a bunch of Republicans
for Kamala at the convention. Are there? No, I didn't see that.
And, like, I just got finished watching the interview with the governor from
Arizona, and he's a Republican, but he's a Republican for Kamala.
(09:31):
And he, And those guys just refuse to deal with Donald Trump.
And his people know it, and they won't deal with them either.
So, so they basically have been ostracized from the Republican Party based on
the fact that they will not support him.
(09:54):
You know, so and a bunch of them, a bunch of them are there at the convention
and they've been well received.
And, you know, that's interesting.
That is really interesting that that they, you know, I don't remember ever hearing
something like that before. Right.
So so this year, folks, it's the you can see there's a lot at stake.
(10:18):
You know, me and Leonard don't have to be the ones to tell you to get out there and vote.
But if you you know, we talked about the last election when Biden got elected,
how important it was to make that happen.
It's even more important this time around because it's it's somehow Trump gets in office.
He's already said he's going to turn everything upside down. Oh, yeah, I know.
(10:41):
You know, so, you know, it's not it's not going to be good if he gets in office, folks.
So don't sleep and do what you have to do.
You know, it is your right to vote for whoever you or whomever you feel like voting for.
But get out there and vote, period.
OK, we can't tell you to vote for. But we do know, be aware of what the possible
(11:09):
consequences can be for either candidate that you vote for.
OK, and what I mean by consequences, I don't necessarily mean bad on both parts.
But what I'm saying is just be smart about it and understand that you have done
your research and that you know what you're doing when you get out there to vote.
(11:29):
And it's not just for the presidency, because there's a lot of really important
elections going on right now.
Especially statewide, we have to look at our own state and putting in the next
governor, the new governor here in the state.
(11:51):
And that's even an interesting race right now. So we need to look at a lot of
the races that are going on, and it's not just here, but all across the country.
And just be smart about what you do. OK.
You got anything else to add there? No, I mean, you know, I think the same thing.
(12:13):
I think I feel like slowly but surely Trump will start pissing everybody off.
One thing I heard about real quick this week was that he was at an event and
he confused the Medal of Freedom with a civilian medal.
Well, he mixed up a civilian medal and a medal that goes to for a military honor.
(12:42):
And when it was brought up to him that he made the switch, he's like,
oh, well, you know, they're the same thing.
So there's some veterans that are a little upset that, you know,
he's mixing those up because, you know, one, they were injured in war and the
other people are, you know, you know, something different.
But I just say to say, I feel like slowly, but surely he's just going to start turning everybody off.
(13:05):
And, you know, I think that's why that Republican governor was at the convention,
because it's just, you know, you can only take so much.
I feel like once you recognize Trump for what he is, you can never go back.
So that's my final thought.
Yeah. Well, yeah. Once you recognize what he is. Well, first of all,
(13:26):
if it's taking you longer than five minutes to figure out who he is,
then you are a Trump supporter.
I can tell you that now. Yeah.
But I guess we'll see what happens as the rest of this week goes along with
the convention going on.
Finally getting a chance to hear Vice President Kamala Harris speak and accept the nomination.
(13:52):
And then let's see what kind of work gets done to make sure that it happens.
There's a lot of interesting history going on, too, by the way,
because, you know, they have Obama, President Obama speaking tonight.
Well, you know, it was 20 years ago that he launched his campaign there in Chicago.
(14:15):
And then there was also another significant because they said lightning can strike twice.
He, of course, eventually became president of the United States,
the first black president of the United States, but also first black first person
of mixed origin race, mixed race or origin, as you want to say.
(14:36):
Here we go again this could be the first black woman and also the first black
woman mixed origin herself so you know maybe this is the time you know Shazam.
You know so there we go we'll
(15:00):
see what happens alright moving on you
know there's been a lot of talk about this next story i've debated on whether
i want to even talk about it or not but you got you got young kids and that's
another reason that made me bring this up and they're teenagers right,
(15:21):
and this particular person that we're about to talk about next has really taking
the young people by storm.
Everybody knows her music and they, you know,
when you hear about music almost having cult-like capabilities and,
(15:42):
you know, putting you in that trance from the beats and so forth,
it's really true when you listen to music, especially music like this person's
music, because it has the same kind of mesmerizing beats to it.
You know what I mean? even though the lyrics crazy but this person and who am
(16:03):
i talking about ladies and gentlemen miss sexy red for those of you that don't
know who she is look her up.
But if you do know who she is she is one of the hottest female rappers or hip-hop artists out
there and she is also known to be one of the most ratchet people out there. Okay. Okay.
(16:29):
I was listening to on radio this morning. They were talking about this story
and I decided to bring it to our attention.
It's a little bit different than what we normally do. But this is what I felt
it was something we needed to talk about, because this is where is,
you know, a lot of our young people.
This is the type of people that they are following these days.
(16:52):
OK, so I'm going to read a little bit of the story.
They give you a little backdrop of what I'm talking about. So,
Sexy Red new lip gloss line uses shocking and gross name to sell product.
Okay. Sexy Red uses NSFW names for lip gloss line.
(17:16):
Sexy Red announced on Instagram that her lip gloss line, Northside Princess,
is dropping soon. In the IG post, which can be seen, there was a link below, the St.
Louis Rhymer showcased the new box the lip gloss will come in,
along with the wrist gain names for each.
(17:41):
Give me one moment here. Lost my place there. Okay. Dave E. discusses. Oh, I'm sorry.
Went into another story. It says the new improved at Sexy Red products is back
better than ever. Sexy Red wrote in the caption.
Introducing Northside Princess, the brand. Get Northside. My first product will be my lip gloss.
(18:07):
Now should i go through the names of the list or not i feel like you have to
because people are not familiar they won't know how gross and disgusting these names are okay all right,
i'm so glad you're the one who found the article and i'll let you read them all.
(18:27):
Yeah well he set me up by the way because you know normally i wouldn't i wouldn't
do this but But it struck me so crazily when I heard this.
I had to say, this is really what the world has come to.
So this is the name of her lip gloss. Go through the names.
(18:50):
Don't judge me here. I'm just letting you all know. It's not me.
Okay. The lip gloss are called Hootie Youth Bootyhole Brown.
Nut pussy hole pink okay yellow
discharge there you go is your
(19:13):
church congregation are they listening to this episode because
you're a heathen anyway i was over look just let me get through this okay all
right gonorrhea blue balls sex on my period which is a fruit sanded lip gloss She also posted on X,
(19:34):
formerly known as Twitter, introducing Northside Princess, the brand,
and my first product will be my lip gloss, and I'm so excited.
As for the pink lip gloss box, it contains the words sexy gloss and cute red
font and seems to carry a Y2K anesthetic.
(19:59):
The rapper has yet to reveal where to purchase her lip hair brand or how much it is.
Sexy red shocks fans with wild lip gloss names.
Names it's a last september the 26
year old rapper revealed that she was getting ready to drop the new line of
lip gloss with several sexually explicted name explicit names that mirror her
(20:22):
brazen personality now there's more to the story but i'm gonna stop there now with all that's,
being said about the lip gloss and it's,
packaged very nicely and whatever they have already sold out of pre-orders already
(20:42):
and it hasn't even hit the market yet but the pre-orders that he had put out
there on her site are sold out,
I know Leonard's shaking his head folks he didn't say anything he's just shaking
his head this is the world that we live in,
now And I'm sure the lip gloss might be good lip gloss.
(21:05):
You know, it may be just regular lip gloss. But just the fact that she chose
to name them what she named them.
And to go along with her personality and everything, which made her famous.
And she has already sold out of the pre-orders.
(21:25):
It's amazing to me. like okay you have you have well let's talk about your daughter
your daughter no I'm just saying let's talk about your daughter your daughter
knows who sexy red is right yes,
does she like sexy red,
not specifically no,
(21:47):
okay and I just say you know the music it's hard not to hear on the radio it's
hard probably you know not to hear you know her friends listen to them but she's not,
A sexy red fan, but she may like one or two of the songs, if that makes sense.
OK, that makes sense. That makes sense.
And it's hard not to like one or two of the songs because it's on the radio, like you said.
(22:12):
Right now, at one time.
None of her songs would have been on the radio. I mean, one time.
I'll never forget when Lil' Kim came out, who pretty much was the prototype
for a lot of the female rappers that are out right now.
A lot of her stuff, you know, you couldn't play all of her stuff on the radio when she came out.
(22:38):
And a lot of stuff they did play was mostly collaborations she did with other people.
But her hardcore stuff, You didn't hear that on the radio.
Right. You had to buy the albums to hear that stuff.
But nowadays, you can hear anything you want to hear on the radio now. Darn it.
(22:59):
It sells and so forth. Your daughter, who's her favorite hip hop artist? Female. So female.
Female. I'm not sure. I know she liked Bryson Tiller. Okay.
Female rapper. I'm not sure.
Sure. And I mean, I can say I do not hear her listening to a lot of rap,
(23:20):
but I would guess if she had one, it would probably be something similar to
like an ice spice or a lot of.
OK. All right. Yeah, that makes sense. And especially those two.
Or they I'm sorry. Or Glorilla, something like that.
And what do all three of those have in common, by the way?
(23:44):
Yeah there you go there you go and that's what makes them you know that also
that's a whole another story in the colorism part of everything because those
artists usually sell because of the way they look.
(24:04):
Right now, rap is basically being ran by females right now. And you agree?
I don't know about being ran by females, but I think they just like we learn
the females, they have a lot of influence.
They have the buying power that they're shoppers.
So I feel like they definitely play a large role in pushing a lot of these female
(24:26):
rappers to the forefront.
Well, I don't mean just that. I don't mean that type of way,
but I'm saying as far as the charts and everything.
They are basically the people, when you look at the top 10 hip hop songs out
there, I guarantee you probably five or six of them are probably females. Right. Right.
(24:46):
I mean, you know, so, and then they're smart enough to do a lot of labos together
to increase their hold on the game right now.
But when you have, when you have somebody like a sexy red, who.
I mean she, I mean I don't know if it was her ideal to push herself this way
(25:13):
I'm sure it wasn't because there's always somebody that's behind the scenes
that's creating these people but she basically,
flaunts who she is and does not hold anything back as far as who she presents
herself to be which is ratchet which is you know when you i mean when you look at her you know.
(25:40):
There's really nothing all that spectacular about her, but you know,
but she has all these fans because she's that, she presents herself as that
person from the hood that you can relate to.
Yeah. And I, you know, I think that's a point too.
She's speaking to a demographic who probably lives or live or wants to live
(26:05):
a lifestyle just like she has.
Yeah. And it's probably a demographic where, you know, they'll listen to other
music, but they listen to her music and, you know, they can relate to it.
That's true. That's true. I saw a reel on Instagram one day and they were showing
her performing on stage.
(26:25):
Stage and then it was a
guy who was in the audience and
he said i can't believe how many women over
40 are here dancing and rapping to her music and so that state what you just
said just then made a lot of sense because i saw it in that reel and i'm like
(26:49):
why are they there you know amongst all these younger girls or whatever.
And mouthing every word to her songs. Oh, I'm sure.
Dave, some of your co-workers and some people I know over 40,
they might have been some of the ones helping this lip gloss spread out.
(27:09):
I know. It's scary. It is scary.
Dave, what would you do if you walk into work tomorrow.
And you compliment one of your you
know your co-workers and she's like
dave this is it that new sexy red booty
hole brown you like it what are you gonna say and what are you gonna think let
(27:32):
it i'll probably just look at her just walk away i said i ain't got no comment
i said this i'll probably just say you need to listen to my last show that's
probably what i was saying you know so.
I say, you know, and I'm sure I'm going to come across somebody at some point
(27:52):
that has one of her lip gloss on once it hits the market.
Yeah, I'm sure. And, you know, at the same point, I can't be mad at her.
You know, I think these rappers, a lot of times they're they're a moment of
fame is short and they just try to get on everything they can.
And to me, be honest, anybody of influence should have a product.
(28:15):
So you know i mean they they should because it's like i mean think about it she sold out pre-sale.
They she might not even been real with this
lip gloss but she sold out pre-sale you know this thing going to production
tonight yeah yeah that's right that's right i mean think about that folks he
(28:37):
sold out pre-sale and the product hadn't even been put out yet you know and
you know when When you sell out pre-sale,
that means you got something legit on your hands, you know.
So, you know, and a lot of it is based on who you are.
I mean, when you look at some of the top commercials on TV right now,
a lot of them have rappers in it or using rap songs from those rappers that we're talking about.
(29:02):
Lotto and Meg. Meg's in about three or four commercials right now, you know.
So, you know, so and rapping at conventions at, you know, was he at the Republican
Convention rapper? Wasn't that?
Yes, he was there. Right. Yeah. Yeah.
(29:24):
So so this is this is the type of stuff that we're talking about.
I just I thought I heard the story. What do you call them? They were talking about it on them.
Oh, on Power 99 this morning. And so I went and looked the story up,
and I was just like flabbergasted.
I was just like, wow, this is crazy.
You know, so I said, this is something we got to talk about.
(29:47):
So, folks, if you got young people, or if you know people, or even yourself,
are you getting some of these flavors?
Some of this lip gloss to put on your lips? I hope not. you know so I'm just
saying you know because you go to church oh that lip gloss looks good on you
(30:09):
what's it called you know.
The only thing they can say is brown that's all they can say,
it's a lip gloss from sexy red because everybody going
to look at you as soon as you say it so you know but you
guys give us your thoughts it's on it check the story
(30:30):
out you'll see what i'm talking about and you'll see what happened
well you can tell us what happens when you buy
some for yourself okay so all right
moving on to our next story yep so
they are next story and this is less of a booty hole brown story but more of
a what can brown do for you okay so there was a ups driver is that brown or
(30:57):
fedex which one When do they talk about what can Brown do for you? That's Brown. Huh?
UPS is Brown. Okay, good. All right. So I was correct. So this is a story more
of what can Brown do for you.
So there was a UPS driver in Georgia and he's riding down the street,
you know, on his route and he sees a woman who is laying down on her driveway.
(31:24):
What would you do, Dade? If you're riding down the street, let's say going home
in your neighborhood because you live about five miles off the road and you
pass somebody's house and you see someone laying down the driveway,
an older lady, what would you do?
Well, I would probably stop and go over to her and see if she's OK.
OK, well, you are definitely a good Samaritan. him.
(31:45):
So that was the same thing that this guy had done. He stopped his car,
went over to her and realized that she had some type of medical emergency.
Of course, that was, you know, one of the days during the heat wave was 102 degrees.
When he got out, he saw that she had groceries that looked like they were kind
(32:05):
of spilled, you know, around.
So he helped her up and he helped her groceries, called the medical personnel.
And he basically said he's proud of what he did. He gives all the glory to God
because without God, he wouldn't have been there.
But it just kind of makes me think, baby, how often we have opportunities to
(32:31):
help people or people look like they need help and we're busy with our lives.
And I just think about And I felt kind of guilty. I was right.
I felt guilty, but I know how relationships were.
We were riding down the street and there looked like a lady and she was on the
(32:53):
side of the road and it looked like her car had broken down.
You already know where I'm going. I know where you go. And I commented and I
said something about it. And if my wife had given the go ahead,
I probably would have pulled over and, you know, made sure everything was OK.
But I did not get the go ahead. I know how relationships go.
(33:18):
And I just kept on going, you know. And, you know, Dave, this lady was not any,
you know, not like a pretty lady or, you know, anything like that.
I was just a regular, degular lady.
But I know how relationships go. And I just minded my business and kept on driving.
But long story short, you know, there are a lot of times, you know,
we do have opportunities to help people.
(33:39):
And the question is, do we do it or do we not?
So I just thought this was interesting because this was one person who went
out of his way to check on somebody who looked like they were distressed.
Yeah, these days, you know, we don't have discernment when it comes to being
(34:01):
helpers and doing Samaritan-type work,
as we call it, because there's just too many things that can go wrong.
And a lot of people feel that way about it.
See somebody laying on the ground, you go to help them up.
(34:23):
Say you pull too hard or something like that and something, you know, you damage,
you know, some reason they get some type of pain or tweak or something next
thing, you know, you'd be a suit or, you know, it's just so many things that can happen.
It's a good thing that he did do what he did because, you know,
(34:43):
especially us older people, notice I said us older people,
yeah nowadays when it comes
to when you said
i know what you meant you meant your your group of
people anyway anyway
when when people when people especially
(35:04):
in you know we had a real hot summer this summer and
so we had a lot of people that probably did not
need to be out in the heat but so long you know
you have to be real careful about looking
out for people yeah that
thing even with you in that situation we're riding past the lady with the car
(35:24):
i you know how many times i see people on the side of the road and i just kind
of pay attention to see if people will even slow up and people don't keep going
you know and you know i remember about two years ago,
right at the it was right after the pandemic had started to you know.
(35:47):
Subside and everything I remember somebody was stopped on the side of the road
and they looked like they were trying to put gas in their car they had apparently had a gas can,
and they were trying to figure out how to put the gas in because I don't know
you know some of those gas cans had that yeah yeah Yeah.
(36:09):
So and they couldn't get the gas to come out, go out. You know,
I'm sitting at a light. I could see them what they were doing.
So I'm sitting there having a debate with myself. Dave, should you stop and
go over there and show them how to do what they're trying to do?
Or should you keep going?
There was two cars ahead of me and I know they saw the person. They just kept going.
(36:33):
And I said, OK, I'm a pullover. so I pulled over and they had two kids with
them too that was another thing and so I said to her what's the problem and she said.
The gas won't come out of this can so I can get it into the car.
And I said, yes, some of these things are tricky because they have like one
(36:53):
of those stop things in there.
And it's like you have to hold it a certain way or you got to push it in.
Some of them you have to push it, push it all the way in to get it to open.
You know, so I said, maybe you wasn't putting it in correctly.
Directly so i picked the can up and i looked at it and i said let me um let
(37:15):
me try it and i remember i put it in like part of the way and nothing was coming
out so i remember pushing it all the way in,
then all of a sudden the gas started flowing i said
okay so it was one of those release type things that you
had to push it all the way in like you will put the nozzle of a gas pump in
you know and she said oh my god she said i was having a fit because she said
(37:38):
i didn't know what i was going to do because i had to walk to get the gas and
so this was on kirkwood highway,
and she had to walk like a couple miles up the road to a gas station to get
the gas and and then walk back to her car with her kids so she was going through
something that day so i I was glad that I stopped.
(38:01):
Then she tried to, he tried to give me some money. She said,
I don't have any cash on me.
I just started laughing because I'm thinking to myself, it was a white lady.
So, you know, well, of course you're going to tell me you ain't got no cash
on you. Right. Of course.
She said, but I can cash tap you.
I said, no, no, no, no, I'm good. Don't worry about it.
(38:25):
Long as you're able to get to where you, do you want me to follow you to the gas station?
Because she said, I got to go to a gas station. And I said, well,
you want me to follow you to make sure?
And she said, well, no, I don't want to take you out of here.
I said, I'm going this way anyway, so I'll just follow you up the road.
So I made sure she got to the gas station, and she was fine. So.
(38:45):
This is the type of stuff that, you know, but when I was coming up,
that kind of stuff happened all the time.
But today is a whole different day and time. No, it is. I know the people that you're dealing with.
These people are crazy out here in these streets now, you know. So, yeah.
So, but anyway, but that's a good story. I'm glad that Brown did do something for them.
(39:08):
And sure that she was very appreciative of everything and so forth.
That could have been somebody's mom. He probably was saying,
hey, that could have been my mom, you know? So, you know, so.
All right. Okay.
Going from a good story to a not so good story.
Have you, did you hear about this, by the way, what I'm getting ready to talk
(39:31):
about? Yep. I saw the video and all.
Okay. Yeah. Okay. All right. This is caught on camera.
New Jersey bus driver brutally beats my passenger. who spat on him allegedly.
Now, a lot of people said no way it was allegedly that he definitely did do
(39:52):
that. Yeah, I'm sure. Yeah.
It says, I'm going to read this. It says, a typically mundane commute on a New
Jersey transit bus took a wild and shocking turn last Friday when the driver, Teron Walker,
was arrested following a violent altercation with a passenger your.
(40:16):
The incident, which has since gone viral through multiple video clips and circulations online,
left dozens of commuters horrified
and sparked widespread discussion about passenger safety and conduct.
The chaos unfolded on August 16 when Walker, who was reportedly first assaulted
(40:40):
by the passenger, retaliated with a violent beatdown.
Videos from the scene show the driver putting the male passenger in a chokehold,
threatening his life, and loudly recommending him for allegedly spitting on
him earlier during the ride.
Overall, the videos captured the tension and fear amongst bystanders,
(41:02):
with frantic calls for Walker to cease his assault.
In another clip, Walker is seen commanding other commuters to back away before
continuing his aggressive attacks.
The passenger appears defenseless, covering his head with his hand in a desperate
attempt to shield himself from the barrage of punches.
(41:22):
Authorities were called to the scene at the broadened Lafayette streets,
responding promptly to the reports of physical altercation.
Newark Police Safety Director Fritz Fajay confirmed that both Walker and the
passenger were arrested and now face charges of aggravated assault.
Despite the severity of the incidents, there was no immediate reports of life threatening injuries.
(41:49):
Now, that I saw the video and my mouth just dropped open. I was like, wow. Wow.
Now, of course, no one, no one, especially these days and time,
wants to be spit on. Right. It's nasty.
Full of germs. I mean, all kinds of things could come from someone getting spit on.
(42:15):
I mean, especially with all the diseases and stuff out there now.
But the beat down that that dude took.
Because that bus driver was wailing on him. No, he was.
In fact, the first time I saw the video, I saw it with no sound on.
Yeah. And it's funny, even with no sound on, you still knew exactly what happened.
(42:39):
You could feel the punch, even with no sound on. You could feel the punch.
Now, I did not know that he spit on him.
But my thought was he said something like, you know, like B-I-T-C-H,
you know, something to kind of. But I knew there was something that sparked in that bus driver.
And I knew it would get serious when the bus driver signaled for everybody to
go to the back of the bus to move out the way. Yeah.
(43:03):
But, you know, did you hear did you hear him chastising the guy saying,
you spit on me? No, nobody spits on me. Yeah.
No, I didn't. And but, you know, I think it just goes to show that,
you know, a lot of these young people have grown up with no discipline,
nobody to show them discipline.
So, you know, when they get to some of these OGs like that bus driver probably
(43:27):
had a long day or probably one hundred and two degrees, you know, tired, hungry.
And, you know, dude just snapped on. Yeah. He had enough.
Yeah, it was intense.
It was one of those videos. Matter of fact, when you go to the link,
it tells you, well, it was too intensified of a video to show it there that
(43:51):
you had to go to YouTube to look at it.
You know, because they said that it was, I mean, the beatdown was crazy, man.
I'm surprised that guy was not bleeding all over the place the way he was hitting them.
You know and you know you can hear the people in the background stop stop you
know but you know what nobody did you know there's nobody grabbed him no,
(44:13):
Nobody wanted no parts of that beating that he was giving that other guy, man.
I've broken up many fights in my day. So you wouldn't have been a good Samaritan?
I wouldn't have touched that dude. Would you have been a good Samaritan and broken it up?
I would have tried to talk to him, but I wouldn't have touched him because he
(44:33):
was too far in. He was too far in. He was gone.
That dude was gone when he was gone. He looked like George Foreman,
beating up a little kid man that's what he looked
like i mean and that guy and the
guy he was beating up on was a lot smaller than him and
you know the guy's trying to cover his head
(44:53):
i mean and he was look he was coming from the floor with punches i mean i didn't
hit that dude man you know he was i mean you know uh i mean that guy probably
would never get on that bus get on the bus he probably He probably has PTSD now from that on.
I'm sure he does. Plus, his own video is spread all over the internet.
(45:19):
For people in his hometown, they probably know exactly what his name is. Yeah.
Pookie then got beat up again, y'all. But this time, he got beat up real good.
So I was looking at the news. On the news tonight, they said that both of them
were charged with aggravated assault.
So they both did get charged for aggravated. The guy, of course,
(45:40):
is on leave from his job, the bus driver.
And there was a lot of mixing because they talked to a couple of people about
what happened that were on the bus.
And, you know, all of them said nobody is spit on another person.
They all said that. But they also said.
And he shouldn't have beat him down like that either. You know,
(46:05):
a matter of fact, one woman said that she feared for the guy's life because
at one point when he was choking him, she thought he was going to kill him at that point. Oh, wow.
Yeah. Yeah. So, so folks don't get on any buses and spit on any bus drivers
these days. Cause it won't be good.
(46:25):
No, not, not at all. I think we did a story a couple of years ago where we talked
about a bus driver had the gun.
You remember that? There was a guy in the bus driver who had a gun on a passenger.
Yeah. Yeah. Because the passenger was giving them a hard time.
These bus drivers, they are protecting themselves because they know how crazy it is out here now.
(46:47):
You don't want to try these bus drivers out here these days.
Now, some of them may not fight you back. I will. You know.
So, I just thought that was an interesting story.
Folks, I don't know how you would have handled it, you know,
but just make sure if you're in Newark, New Jersey, ask the bus driver that
(47:09):
beat up the guy who's driving your bus today.
And be nice to him that day. Please be nice to him. And Dave,
I can say, those people in Newark, New Jersey don't play.
They are serious about standing on their business. That's right.
Yeah, that's right. Okay.
Alright. Well, it looks like we made it to...
(47:36):
Leonard's favorite part of the show, which is Dave's Corner.
And so here is today's Dave's Corner question.
It says, give me a TV show and a movie that you feel closely resembles your life as a child.
(47:57):
And for that, I want a TV show.
Okay. And a movie that resembles your life now.
So think about your childhood. Think about, you know, a movie,
I mean, a TV show that you kind of can kind of relate it to as a child growing up.
(48:18):
And then take a moment to think about your life now.
What movie you think you would be able to relate to?
Now, this is very hard because I don't know. I wanted it to be hard.
I wanted to be a hard question.
All right. Well, it's so hard. I don't got to answer. Good. You got to answer.
You happy now? You happy now with your hard questions?
(48:42):
Let me. Why you think it? I'll tell you. I'll go first. I'll let you off the
hook while you think it. Okay.
Why? Because I know you got it takes you a moment to think of these things.
So I'll do my TV show. Then you do your TV show. Then I'll do my movie and you do your movie. Okay.
He's on the computer looking up shows right now. I am. I am.
(49:04):
And I'm listening to my wife yell upstairs, so yelling at the TV.
Well, my TV show would be, and it's quite easy for me because I basically was
right there when it was happening. It was good times.
I was living in the projects at the time.
(49:26):
Could relate to the family that Florida and James Evans had.
And project life was different.
Now it wasn't as intense living where I lived at as it was for the,
for the Evans family on good times, but we had a lot of fun.
It was interesting living in the projects and definitely I can relate to what
(49:51):
that family went through.
So that's my TV show.
Okay. That's interesting.
Okay. All right, your turn. It's for a TV show. Let's see.
I'm still thinking.
Hey, this is hard. No, I know. See, I got to keep you on your toes, man.
(50:16):
I got one for you, Silver Spoons. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha.
I'm going to say what's happening.
Oh, okay. Now that's interesting that you would say that.
And I'm going to say that. Which character could you relate to on what's happening?
(50:41):
D. D.
That figures yeah but but
the reason why i say it is because my brother
was a lot older than me so you know
like that age gap between b and what's his
name roger roger roger um yep so the age gap and i was probably the annoying
(51:06):
little brother who got on his nerves and i'll instead of mama It'll be my father
because I majority lived with him growing up,
but he was always at work and he'd come home late at night and I'd be lined
up ready to tell on my brother.
Daddy, guess what? David did my brother, David. That is. Yeah. Yeah.
(51:31):
So I can kind of compare it to that. Okay. All right.
My movie would be I mean, yeah, my movie would be Life. The movie Life with
Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence.
(51:53):
I knew you were a jailbird.
No, not so much because of the jail part, but because of the relationship,
you know, having that type of relationship with, you know, somebody that you
And then building relationships that you've done with all the people that you
come across in your life.
(52:14):
One of my favorite scenes that I can truly relate to is there's a scene in there
where the years had gone by because they had been there for a long time.
And you start seeing all the people that they had come in contact with fade
from their life because they all passed away and they were no longer there.
(52:37):
And that scene always stayed in my head because I think about all the people
that I've come across over my life that are no longer here.
And you just kind of one day they're there and one day they're not.
And as you get older, because that's what they were doing is getting older,
less and less of their friends were still around. Right.
(53:00):
So that's why I can relate to
it. But, you know, not so much the jailbird thing, but to the other part.
All right. So the movie that I think resembles my life now is Limitless.
Have you seen that movie? No, never. Never saw it. Who's in it?
Dave, I'm going to let you do your research. It was Bradley Cooper.
(53:26):
Long story short, Bradley Cooper, it was a movie where he found this drug.
I guess he was a drug addict.
And the drug addict made him be able to... So, let's say they say humans were
only able to use 13% of our brain.
This pill that he would take allowed him to use It was like 50 percent of his brain.
(53:51):
So he was able to do so much more with, you know.
So anyway. So the reason why I think about it, because I feel like so in the
movie, they always had they almost had him going in fast motion,
which, you know, regular motion.
But he was doing so much more in that same span of time.
So I say for myself, because I feel like I'm always moving where it's like,
(54:16):
man, I know, of course, I don't have no blue pill, but I just feel like,
you know, you talk about it.
Yeah, you know, up and down state kids, no kids, you know, married,
you know, trying to do these businesses.
I got Dave calling me asking why we're not doing a podcast.
(54:38):
I mean, it's just so many variables crammed into this 24 hour day.
So that's why I said, but if you get a chance, check it out.
It's actually a good movie.
And it's one of my favorite movies. So is it with Bradley Cooper? OK, all right.
All right. All right.
Let me make sure I'm saying his name right.
(55:01):
Bradley Cooper. Yeah. Bradley Cooper. Yeah. No, I just want to make sure I was
speaking to the right actor.
Okay. All right. Okay. All right. I've never heard of it, so I will look for it. So, okay.
All right. Well, that's what Leonard said, so that's what we're going to go with, folks.
So, you guys, when you get a chance, see if you can answer that question and
(55:23):
see what TV show and movie would best describe your life as a child growing
up and your life now. Okay?
All right. Oh, and before we sign off, I want to say Leonard and I were blessed
to find out that we got some good news that we were,
(55:44):
I guess, I don't want to say honored, but I guess we found out that we were ranked.
We were. OK, we found out that we were ranked on a website called SpeedSpot.

(56:36):
I actually get tired of having to carry Leonard all this time,
but I'm glad that he allowed me to do that and we're able to put on the show that we do.
It's really a... So, everybody, I just put Dave's microphone on mute. He doesn't...
So, clearly, Dave, this is the first time I put your microphone on mute.
(56:58):
You have to unmute it yourself. It won't let me unmute it.
There we go. This is the kind, like I said, carrying Leonard all this time.
Hold up, hold up, hold up. Don't mute me again, don't mute me again.
I feel another mute coming.
But we just want to say thank you to everybody who's ever listened to the show,
