be a video, but you are being heard in fifty
three countries and we have over sixteen thousand listeners, not
all listening in the one time. I'm sure that they

It's called Beneath the Willow Tree. Beneath the Willow Tree,

(05:24):
and it's an excellent play directed by a friend of mine,
Aaron Reese Bosman. Beneath the Willow Tree is making this
world premiere at the Post Theater Chicago, which is at
the Dent Theater thirty one thirty three, Milwaukee, and it's

(05:47):
a wonderful play. I had to leave early so I
could be with you guys on the podcast, but it
was really really good. These are some of the stars
in it, and then you can see them then think
it's backwards there. Yeah, yeah, but I urged people to

(06:07):

the twenty ninth. And also my better half is doing
a play at the same theater, but in another it's
called Within the Shadow, Within the Shadow, and it's running

and chat box chat box. And the name of the
show was made about town anyway, it's me Bostoll show.

(07:46):
We opened up the show. Uh, a lot of things
going on. I heard about this. There was a school
shooting the other day in Georgia and a little disturb
another crazy white boy or young white boy fourteen years old.

(08:11):
Did y'all see that? Fourteen years old? And you know
he killed four people, and not only that, you know,
everybody assumed there was kind of like in a white
neighborhood and he killed them. And but he didn't kill

(08:37):
all white people. You know. I don't know why people
thought it was all going to be white. But out
of the four people that got killed, I understand it
was a little black kid.

Speaker 6 (08:49):
You know.

Speaker 5 (08:50):
Always unfortunate. Gun violence is ridiculous. And it's just getting
out of hands. I was with the mayor today. Yeah,
there's a there's a garden on seventy first and Maryll

(09:14):
seventy versus maryl here in Chicago, there's a garden and
it's a community garden and they've been you know, doing
gardening and planning stuff and it's really like a safe place,
you know, where they don't want any violence. And so
when they've done that for the last years, they turned

(09:36):
it into a a an arts corner. So they have
a lot of conscious there. They have all kinds of
music crafts. They have karaoke night.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
They have.

Speaker 5 (10:00):
Poetry night, they have a of things going. They have
a comedy night. And it's the seventy's seventy one thirty
Uh uh seventy first Street and uh anyway, uh hey
hey hey no no no back up stout, Yeah anyway,

(10:28):
no bad anyway. Uh anyway, So at the garden there
and they've been winning, you know, it's like a concert
all summer along that they have beautiful things there and
everything and it's a beautiful little space. But it's right
on seventy first. So most recently they had a few murders.

Speaker 7 (10:53):
Yeah, they had a few.

Speaker 5 (10:54):
Murders on the same block that they're trying to do
this piece thing right, and so today was called take
back your Block. So they put out tables of block parties.
They invited the mayor, Mayor Brandon Johnson online and Brandon

(11:18):
was down there doing his thing be a politician. I
got to meet him. I got to shake his hand,
and I saw the security staff man. They was tight.
It was tight. It looked like a Muslim movement because
he had these black men security and dude, they was

(11:40):
in suits, haircut. I mean, they looked like straight up
like secret servicemen or whatever. But they allowed him to
go into the community. So Kansi took pictures. He talked
about his records and stuff like that, and he gave

(12:02):
us crack out on the South side about uh, the
south side because I guess he's from the West side.
So it was funny. But six or six two zero
zero zero from the four eight, I think we got
a call on the line, and.

Speaker 7 (12:21):
I think this is one of my my co host. Uh,
let's see, hey, hey, you got it.

Speaker 5 (12:35):
Yeah, I was, Uh, I was down in the South
Shore today.

Speaker 6 (12:39):
They had a Yeah, they called me.

Speaker 8 (12:41):
I got to write my Nebuloo.

Speaker 5 (12:43):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was Uh, I kind of stumbled
on it. My cousin, Vita is one of the Vita
Children's is one of the sponsors of.

Speaker 8 (12:55):
Yeah, I know he worked there. I've been to the
mind of the conference there. I saw my even going there.

Speaker 5 (13:01):
I saw.

Speaker 8 (13:04):
Who else, Uh, Chickens. She curated one of the shows
I saw there.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Right.

Speaker 8 (13:16):
We also do a bike giveaway for kids a while
from that park. I just did within a couple of
plumbers ago couldn't know my mif m against mm hmmm,
and they needed somebody to put all the bikes together
for the kids.

Speaker 9 (13:32):
Oh wow.

Speaker 5 (13:34):
Yeah, they've been doing real good. They've been doing great
with the program. Unfortunately, within the last three weeks. Uh,
a couple of people got shot.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Man.

Speaker 5 (13:48):
And yeah, yeah, I believe. I believe they got shot
right within the perimeter of the garden and oh really yeah, man,
so bad news for people that are trying to establish
peace on the south side of it. And not only that.

(14:13):
Uh So anyway, today it was impromptu.

Speaker 4 (14:17):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (14:19):
They had the mayor coming down there and they said
that they were going to take take back the block
and uh and you know, it was a like a
you know, a little ceremony or whatever. But Mayor Brandon
Johnson came out and I got a chance to see

(14:40):
him up close, and I was just I was I
was a little impressed. I was impressed by his stature
and the fact that he had some positive black men
around him and his security details. So I thought that
was booth, you know. I found his speech to be

(15:02):
a little oh political, you know, like our politicians are.
He was like, well, how many jobs that he's gotten,
you know, in the city, and so forth like that.
But that was the first time I actually met him
and shook his hand, got close with him. I didn't know.

(15:25):
I didn't really, I couldn't. I was so close to
him that it actually felt uncomfortable because I was like, wow,
so they had nothing, no weapons, I mean nothing that
they had no way of checking weapons. Anybody could have

(15:48):
walked up to him and done anything. And I thought
that was good of him to make himself accessible. But
at the same time, it was you know, a little risk, yeah,
you know, on the South side of Chicago. But then
I remember I thought back that that's one of the
things I liked some spunky mayors, because do you remember

(16:11):
when when Jane Burne moved into Cabrini Green.

Speaker 8 (16:17):
I thought that was I mean then I remember I
was a kid, right, but I remember it. Yes, But
she all commented the police day while she was there.
She moved to police in and she moved into ben
She didn't move in back and right, they didn't.

Speaker 5 (16:40):
But it was a political move that, yes, and it
for at least the week that she was there, it
slowed down the violence. And that's one of the things
that I also wanted Obama to do. You know, Obama

(17:04):
being from Chicago. You know, every political person doesn't do
everything wonderful. But I thought that crime was so bad
here in Chicago a while back that I thought that
Obama would at least you know, I thought he could

(17:26):
do something drastic like that, like moving into Englewood. You know,
because when I'd say this when Obama got elected, it
was something in the movement that encourage everybody to do
good or to do better. And I think Obama kind.

Speaker 8 (17:46):
Of line everybody who was you know, black and right
or different not, you know, I mean there are people
who were I've never seen so many people that he's
a president. I mean, you had politicians, you know, you know,

(18:06):
putting great effort into blocking whatever he did, right, you know.
Unfortunately Obama was not allowed to government because he was
a black guy, and they didn't want to actually that
for it, you.

Speaker 5 (18:22):
Know, And I thought that was that's really sad, because
in my opinion, Obama was the best president that I've
seen thus far, and uther than all. Yeah, and he
had class, and he had style, and he was smart

(18:44):
and he was a brother. Okay. And then I remember
when somebody asking me when Obama got elected, oh, you're
just voting for him because he's black, And.

Speaker 7 (18:54):
I said, yeah, that's right.

Speaker 5 (18:58):
I didn't care. I said, yeah, that's right. Not just goods,
but he's smart, he's you know, Harvard graduated.

Speaker 8 (19:08):
That's but one of the things he.

Speaker 5 (19:11):
Was right, you know. And like like Michelle Obama said, uh,
Trump better be thinking about this black job that he's
trying to get, you know, he said, this should about
black drops. Black job. Yeah, but he's a black job.

(19:31):
You knows me. I'm assuming he met janitors and and
and shit like that, and which was pridiculous, you know. Uh,
and that's a black job. And then everybody start posting
said I am a neuro diagnosis technician and somebody said,

(19:53):
I am this and uh.

Speaker 8 (19:57):
Oh, I called great TikTok with the whole subgegualtry you know,
from the surgeon to the nurse who blood in the blood,
everybody's blood equation.

Speaker 5 (20:16):
And for those of you out there listening, look, a
black job is every job, you know, and because black
people better believe it as a race.

Speaker 6 (20:25):
Whatever we do, we do it well.

Speaker 5 (20:29):
And you know, and like they say, they try to
imitate us, to kind of copy us. But black people
have a zest for life. How we laugh, how we
talk with each other, how we dance, you know, how
we play sports is all great. And uh, these guys, uh,

(20:54):
they just don't know. You know, white people want to
be like us.

Speaker 6 (20:58):
You know, why the hell they.

Speaker 5 (21:00):
Sun tanning all the time and ship like that. I
noticed today this chick said, uh, she uses the bronze
finished white girl. You know. And I don't know if
you ever seen any well, I know, you see white people,
but I saw this uh white girl once and she

(21:23):
was white you know, usually with tal as yes, you know,
oh my god, wow, she needs some son bad. Okay,
I mean, why does this see your paper?

Speaker 6 (21:37):
You know?

Speaker 5 (21:37):
And you know, and that's unfortunately the they are who
they are. And uh but uh, how are you my man?

Speaker 8 (21:49):
Some fantastic brother. I am starting another girl finished my
left harvest.

Speaker 5 (22:00):
Ah, okay, okay, so.

Speaker 8 (22:05):
You'll have to come and get a little pace for that.

Speaker 5 (22:09):
Yeah. Yeah, I'll be a sampler. I'll be a guinea pig.

Speaker 8 (22:17):
You're happy that, you know, I'm happy that the football
season started. Yeah, I could admit I am. I'm happy
about that.

Speaker 5 (22:29):
Yeah. The the Bears played home opening Sunday, right, and
I think I'm off. I think I'm off that day,
which is great. Uh. Yeah, I'm gonna put it to
this because for some reason, I think the Bears are
gonna go all the way this year. I think they're
gonna get right up in there, baby. And uh and

(22:50):
it's also it's a long time you know.

Speaker 6 (22:55):
Yeah, well I think we.

Speaker 5 (22:58):
Got a quarterback. Uh uh. That is Williams, the phenomenal
one draft pick for the Bears. But he also, you know,
he's been doing good in the preseason. And they said,
rather than one team captain, they had the Bears had

(23:19):
ten team captains, so they got ten captains. And they're
trying a new philosophy, you know, and I printed it works. Uh,
six four six two zero zero zero nine. Boy, we
got a caller all the way from Oh, this is

(23:41):
my guy from Singapore calling all the way from Singapore,
and let's bring him in. Is it is this Michael?

Speaker 1 (23:55):
Yes, this is brother Michael and my friends. Yes, thank you.
And if that's your brother, I believe it's as right.

Speaker 5 (24:06):
That's my brother.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah brother, yeah, dear brother as well too.
And so I want to know that what happened where
you invited also where I'm sure because you're a very
tough actors in US as well as too, where you

(24:33):
airports to give us this?

Speaker 6 (24:36):
Yeah, I did not go to the d n C.

Speaker 5 (24:40):
The security was really really tight, and I it is
and most people that live in Chicago when it's like
that to kind of stay back. I watched it on TV,
which was great. The best seat in the house was TV.

Speaker 6 (25:00):
Then I find even.

Speaker 5 (25:03):
Even football games, you know, the experience to go there.
That's did you catch Leslie broadcasts of the d n C. No,
Leslie Harriston, Yeah, she was on CBS.

Speaker 6 (25:21):
Yeah, well we have.

Speaker 5 (25:24):
Oh wow, I did not see her? And uh, this
is a young lady that we went to high school with.
That she became an alderman in the city. And uh yeah,
and uh, I guess he was broadcast in the DNC. No,
I didn't see it. No, Mike Michael, we had to.

(25:45):
Uh we watched it on TV, which was fine. And
I said, the Chicago is kind of known for this crime.
And there was some protested backlash. But on the left
last night of the d n C, UH some some

(26:05):
of the UH delegates were eating at a restaurant and
some guy came in there and shot up the place.
So yeah, that had at the White Palace right down
there on Roosevelt, And you.

Know, I was down there.

Speaker 10 (26:27):
Closing my car and I and I saw the had
it all taped off, right, But I didn't know what
happened who got shot that.

Speaker 5 (26:40):
Yeah, the last night at the convention. Up until the
n they had no major problems and uh they but
that's that's what happened. So I always said, uh, welcome
to Chicago.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
Yeah, you know, but the.

Speaker 5 (27:02):
DNC was great, I understand. Uh, Camelot Kamala, I don't
know if you say Camela Kamala, I don't know, but Kamala.

Speaker 6 (27:16):
Come on.

Speaker 5 (27:18):
And she's uh, she's she's slowly gaining ground. I noticed that,
uh tramp speeches are rambling. Now, Oh my god, it's
so bad.

Speaker 8 (27:33):
I can't I can't believe that people are allowed him
to debate. People can be disast the king.

Speaker 5 (27:41):
Oh I can. You know, I got a rehearsal that night,
so I'm not to see it. I'm gonna miss a
lot of it, but uh that I gotta see it.

basically we see everything to URUCU. We have and and
we put it on the USA.

Speaker 6 (28:27):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
You know, we have a VPM, of course, and the
VPM will catch everything in the USA pretty much. We
really we missed, of course our homeland, the USA, but
you know we always watch everything is showing in the USA.
So but you know, yeah, we see everything you seek.

Speaker 5 (28:51):
Yeah, I mean, I forget it's got to be international,
but you know, I just want to make sure because
you know, this is this is it, you know, I
don't think uh, Kamala will do bad at all.

Speaker 6 (29:08):
We know that.

Speaker 5 (29:10):
Donald Tramp will will talk his way in a circle.
You know, but maybe then the voters will get it.

micro chip and because they say it's old dated thirty
years in Kenya, so you know the IVY and et cetera.
It's old and they want but they were pissed on

(30:15):
Bill Gate. Bill Gates went and came back to see
the President and House of Court on the Supreme Court
of the Kennya, et cetera. I guess A bought them
with the money. And guess what they're going to the
new babies in Kenya will be micro shift.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
It's crazy. And yeah, and I will use the name.

What they're doing. Go ahead, listen.

Speaker 5 (32:54):
Okay, So I just looked it up. I just looked
it up, and uh, this is from the Catholic Information
Service for Africa.

Speaker 8 (33:09):
She says, we are not in.

Speaker 5 (33:11):
Thirteen ships into babies. He tells cat that's what he says,
and uh, yeah, they said they had a metion about it,
but they do.

Speaker 7 (33:28):
Yeah, that's the thing.

Speaker 6 (33:30):
Crazy crazy, that's crazy.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
And also twenty thirty, nobody owns anything. I mean, so
we have to rent everything. I mean, rent the place
to live, rent. If you want to make your food,
you have to rent the dishes rent. I guess you
cannot buy what would happen buy the food. Nobody else
is going to buy the food in twenty thirty. You

(33:55):
have to rent the food. Then I don't know what's
going on with the food.

Speaker 5 (33:59):
But but everything else you have to rent.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
I mean, it's crazy. And this is exactly.

Speaker 6 (34:08):
Yes, that's around the corner exactly.

Speaker 5 (34:12):
This is two twenty four. So you're talking about that
they can can they legally do that? I mean, I
guess third world countries can do that, but they said
that they were going to start doing it here in
the United States. People said they would be insulting the

(34:33):
CHIP or now everything all the wades are on digital
cards now right everybody even like like food stamps used
to be like paper, but everything is digital.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
Exactly exactly. You're right, You're right.

Speaker 5 (34:56):
So they might be chip not just like the like
they would do dogs.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
Yeah, exactly, dog.

Speaker 8 (35:05):
That want dogs.

Speaker 5 (35:09):
Yeah, and.

Speaker 8 (35:12):
You know that for decades, are right?

Speaker 1 (35:15):
Yeah? Yeah, So so they make you can put all
the vaccines and E said, so that they push and
if you don't vaccine it, then then what they do
from your account? You know, because everything digital, then they
say you have no accent. It means your money is

(35:36):
not your money anymore. It on the vote. So I mean,
if you want your money, it is better you take
all the vaccines. They say, whatever it is. COVID ten,
COVID twenty thirty, COVID two, money nine. What the way
is you have to take it? If you refuse it,

(35:57):
you will have your money. Is not your money. You
couldn't live in the city. Maybe jungle.

Speaker 5 (36:06):
At yah, back to the jungle on hey, as Kamala
Harris said, we're not going back. Okay, we're not going back.

Speaker 8 (36:20):
Going back about that, We're not.

Speaker 7 (36:22):
Going back, you know.

Speaker 5 (36:23):
And and and Donald Trump says make America great again,
like back in the when was America great like that
in the fifties. Him, Yeah, you know, I mean no
and uh. And he's telling these people, I don't care

(36:43):
what you have to do. Vote for me, you know, Uh,
take people to the you know, he's basically telling people
to cheat any way they can for him because he
knows he's going down. But what what I was recently
and everybody should watch even if you don't want to,

(37:05):
but watch Trump's speeches. Watch him, watch him speak. Now,
his his he's starting to slur his words. He can't
keep on a thought. They asked him about the budget,
and he went in and talked about how it was

(37:27):
so bad, it's so bad, and under his administration it's
going to be better. But then he went and said
he quoted some numbers and the numbers were way out,
and they said, well, after you get in, because he's
got this thing called no tax on tips. Okay, I understand.

(37:51):
I r s was because I've been a street performer
and the server before and he danced that.

Speaker 9 (37:58):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (38:00):
Now, at one point Diares was taxing on tips. But
I don't know if you've been to a restaurant lately,
but now you don't have a choice. When you're on
a resue, they no, they add a service.

Speaker 8 (38:20):
Slee doesn't have a zero on it. Usually sometimes they do.

Speaker 5 (38:27):
But now what they do is they add a service
charge under your bill automatics or yeah sure no, well
even in certain restaurants, if it's two of you, they
could still add a service charge. It's just like uh

(38:49):
uh you know, a friend of mine went on a
cruise shift and she took a cruise all over the
world and she came back and then they wanted to
charge her three thousand dollars more for the care on
the ship. So everything it's just gotten our hands, you know,

(39:13):
like even if you win a free trip, now they
include a service charge on that, you know. So and
then some restaurants include the gratuity. They automatically put it
on there. You know, you don't have the choice of
where we thought the service was good or not, they
automatically put it on. That's that's America for you. They

(39:36):
are really uh squeezing us, you know, and uh, I'm tired,
I'm mad.

Speaker 8 (39:43):
And they're forcing you know, employers, employees to share tips
because the people who have to run contacts with the customers,
the only ones getting tips and the ones who.

Speaker 11 (39:56):
Were in the back, you know, the dishes or whatever.
H kind of got to sharing that that part of
it is there. But yeah, yeah, I just I hate
to see.

Speaker 5 (40:10):
I hate to be forced two be tipping someone if
they if I have been the service. You know.

Speaker 8 (40:18):
I think this is because I know my grandfather was
a was a pueman porter and he made his living
on tips because of course they weren't paying. You know,
black people anything go days and you know, so he

(40:41):
you know, he you know in skills in US that
you tip well and a tip according to the service
you give exactly. And that's the way I do it,
and you don't if you don't. If you don't, certainly won't.
I won't hold the great lines to make sure that

(41:01):
you don't get it tap. You know, I'm not trying to,
you know, help you out with eat.

Speaker 5 (41:11):
Had a bad day, right, that's not Now what about
in Singapore, Michael, is it it's chipping mandatory or what
do they do?

Speaker 1 (41:28):
You know, it's not like the United States. If you
don't give tip, the waiter or waitress is going to
put extra salt in your food. I want, but but
but the question, yeah, there is is yeah, it's tip
is kind of voluntary basis, yes, and but you know

(41:56):
it's up to the person, really is. It's because they
get paid well, really good anyway. And the thing that
tip is just it's just too a individuals and up
to the tourist people come here a lot, and I'm
sure they do according to their country. French people they

(42:16):
don't give tips more than five percent or something like that,
because that's how they it is in their country like that.
But some other people India, they don't even take because.

Speaker 8 (42:34):
I almost got my you know, handsacks real, yeah, and
she gave me. Do you look at.

Speaker 12 (42:48):
Yeah, you do bad as opposed to when I was
I've been to Brazil twice, Oh my god, and I
like I was in Jampa and I was.

Speaker 5 (43:01):
In real and real the out outdoor restaurants. The children
come to your table and beg yeah. I meant little
children six and seventy years old.

Speaker 8 (43:22):
You know who they are, You know who they are,
you know those who's kind of adding me to your story.
Those kids are the results of a part of me
back because I was I was there maybe twenty years ago.

(43:43):
But there was a pattern that they have in Top
America where if you are if you have a child
who is disfigured that they need child out one You
not know this is because I read about it a
little bit, and when I was down there, of course,
you know me and my social work stuff, I wound

(44:04):
up getting hooked up with the police kids. There were
some who were sleeping near my hotel, so on my
way home from dinner one night, I gave them the
leftovers from my meal, and of course that made me
their friend. So that next morning they told me to
put my camera up and they took me with them

(44:27):
and I walked around with them all day. I watched
how they make their money. I watched whatever go to eat.
You know, I met some of the people who some
of the Brazilians who actually helped them out. It was,
it was amazing, it was, it was amazing. One thing
I was and not and the oldest one was fourteen.

Speaker 5 (44:47):
Wow. And Brazil. I saw this, Yes, this in Brazil.

Speaker 8 (44:54):
I the Catholic in South Polo. That was a sou polo.

Speaker 1 (44:57):
Yeah, especially in Brazil, I mean not the biggest game
going on around the globe. American tourists, French tourists or
from not to other countries when they go, say, for example,
in San Paulo or Rio Deioniro by taxi, or India

(45:19):
or many other countries.

Speaker 9 (45:20):
So what happens you you give your card is okay,
how much it is.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
Two hundred taka attaka or two hundred rupees in India
for example, okay, But they actually charge you four thousand
dollars on your task and they have no resits. And
then they say, okay, think, okay, baba, let's go, thank
you very much, and they bring everything for you, and

(45:49):
you think that you have done a great job they think,
but then you don't check until later on at the
SMS you're maybe you check it, thet say four thousand
dollars on your credited card. Oh my gosh, what happened?
And then you have to come fight it. But they said, well, yes,

(46:10):
you told them the four thousand dollars, we are not
going to give you back. So you will be stuck
with four thousand God knows how many times during your
journey you make a business experience this guy. So by
the time you'll come home, you'll be ending up twenty
thirty thousand dollars you owe to your great card and
after a lawyer lawyers in order to kill it that well.

Speaker 5 (46:37):
They started to do that in the United States where
you go to a gas station or service station to
fill up your car, now they want to put one
hundred or one hundred and fifty dollars hold on your
car for three days.

Speaker 6 (46:57):
You know.

Speaker 5 (46:58):
I experienced that, I mean went to the gas. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (47:02):
No, that's where some stations are doing that.

Speaker 1 (47:07):
And.

Speaker 5 (47:09):
That they will charge. Let's say you get a tank
of gas, they will put an extra hundred dollars on
your bill and my whole And they did it to
me in Vegas and.

Speaker 6 (47:22):
I said, what is this you know I mean and
they said, well.

Speaker 5 (47:27):
They hold it for like uh sure uh. And they
could do this legally, you know. So you just can't
get gas anywhere, you know, and they don't even tell you,
you know, they just stick it on your car but
real quick. Yeah, oh yeah, and it's ed bruh. It's

(47:51):
in Chicago. There's some stations that will do that, you know,
and uh, and they won't tell you and you get
home when you find out, you said, why, let's say
that's great.

Speaker 8 (48:07):
Yeah, another reason I'm glad.

Speaker 6 (48:09):
That I have got your car.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
Yeah, it's kind of a scam going on all over
in the United States. I mean recently the Chase Bank.
Somebody events in the tick that door and said, hey,
there's a glitch atm with the Chase. So people went
and wrote the chicks to themselves or to somebody else
and deposited and guess what, seventy thousand, eighty thousand dollars.

(48:36):
The gleach is supposed to say, Okay, we will hold
after your eighty thousand for two days and you can
have maybe two hundred dollars a bit, but the glease says,
you have eighty thousand dollars balance right now. And then
they got a lot of money and everywhere, and so
I know some people they all even one hundred thousand

(49:02):
or ten thousand, five thousand, but a lot of people
got the cash, so freak cash. So Chase said, you're
coming after you guys, and you guys have to pay
all this back. But really technically they cannot do that,
so Chase has to write off that a month. That's
why on Tuesday there was a three percent a stuck

(49:27):
went down as a result of the Chase glitch.

Speaker 5 (49:31):
I think I heard something about that, you know, yeah,
and that's that's absolutely ridiculous.

Speaker 6 (49:40):
I mean, you know, we've.

Speaker 5 (49:42):
Lots of them. We don't have the money as it is,
and now they want to they want to take it.
But so we are in September, actually on September twelve.
Next next week on the twelve no is it. September

(50:04):
nineteenth will be our twelve twelve year anniversary on the radio. Okay,
So we've been doing for twelve years every Friday night
and we've only missed like maybe two weeks because of
storms or outages or something like that. But we've run

(50:28):
on the air, and my gasboy says, we have fifty
four thousand listeners right now admitted to this regularly show.

Speaker 1 (50:40):
Because you're diverse. That's why people like diversity, diversity, and
that's why are you to congratulate you ahead of time
just in case I'm not yet because I have some
medical issue I'm doing to solve it. So I cannot
promise you I will be, but I try my best.

Speaker 9 (51:01):
To be with you, with your I Newark City, for sure,
I do my best right right right, you know, in
honor of my.

Speaker 5 (51:13):
My former partner who on the radio, he passed away
in January. And yeah, Tip and yeah, he's going on,
but I think he's with He's with us in spirit
every Friday night. As a matter of fact, on our
Facebook page, we have a Facebook page coming in about town,

(51:36):
and he would put up questions every week, and he
put up questions for twelve years. So we just rerun
the same questions over and over. But please check out
our page. And uh, but we're getting closer to the election.
You know, I was nervous. I'm not nervous now. I

(52:00):
kind of wish that it will definitely get over and
then there the first debate debate is uh is Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (52:11):
Few days I think, right, yeah.

Speaker 5 (52:19):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so uh looking forward to it.

Speaker 6 (52:25):
I just.

Speaker 5 (52:27):
You know, like I said in Donald Tramp, he has
to be he can't be critical of her. He cannot be.

Speaker 8 (52:36):
Nasty, can That's what That's what we know he can,
but it's it's to.

Speaker 5 (52:43):
His best knowledge. Is if he you know, ties to
be humble. But if he gets in there and starts
talking about this woman, you know, it's not.

Speaker 7 (52:54):
Going to make him look good, you know.

Speaker 5 (52:57):
And you know how he mutilates homeits, you know, and
get them to drop out, I mean ted cruise and
it's a Ted Crews. He talked about his his wife.
He said, because his wife had had some I got
some mental problems. And he talked about his wife. And

(53:18):
I'm like, yeah, you talk about my wife. I might
have to whoop your ass.

Speaker 6 (53:23):
You know, Hey, I gotta do a week I said,
your dog, Yeah yeah.

Speaker 5 (53:34):
I might have to do it. Will Smith, you know,
keep my wife?

Speaker 2 (53:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (53:43):
Good? So uh, but we're getting close, y'all. This is
the the sixth, right tomorrow's seventh. So I talked to something.
We're about two months away, sixty days right off to
the fifth and this taking guard.

Speaker 8 (54:06):
He registered the vote.

Speaker 5 (54:08):
But I know, I know this.

Speaker 8 (54:11):
If you're to now, you need.

Speaker 5 (54:13):
To vote, and they're gonna try to stop the vote.

Speaker 6 (54:17):
They're going to try to.

Speaker 5 (54:18):
Stop you, you know. And then even when she wins,
we had to deal with this lunatic talk about this
rig you know. So uh, it's very important that you
get out and vote. And also if you can to
take some elderly people who can't get to the polls,

(54:43):
take him to the polls. You know, like I said,
we have to, we have to win this election. Like
the spirit of Harold Washington, you know, Harold Washington was
the mayor here. He was the first black man in
the city of Chicago. But and elected Harold. They elected him.

(55:03):
He got ninety of the black vote and fifty percent
of the white vote.

Speaker 8 (55:09):
And to say, he won, and he.

Speaker 5 (55:13):
Lasted a few years. But then he died mysteriously in office.
So I've heard rumors that, you know, people tried to
kill him or whatever. I don't know what happened. But
neither here nor dash Kamala Harris and uh and uh
Tim Walls.

Speaker 9 (55:32):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (55:33):
We got to win, man, we got to win. Yet
I can't even talk to no Trump supporters. They don't
even call in no more. You know they know better? Yeah,
see it.

Speaker 6 (55:46):
But I got friend guy, the guy like.

Speaker 8 (55:49):
Week who couldn't answer the simple question of how are
you going to fire a president who can't back more?

Speaker 5 (56:01):
Right? If you have a mary corrupt.

Speaker 8 (56:03):
Subject, what does that make you? You know that he said,
I don't care about it. Mom, Oh gee, well I do,
because you know everybody on the plane.

Speaker 5 (56:17):
If he wants to there's a There's a comedian named
George Carlin who passed away, but one of one of
his sayings was never to underestimate the stupidity in a
group of mass people. You know, how you can have

(56:37):
this great amount of people and they could be totally stupid,
you know, I think, and I think anybody that votes
for Tramp is really stupid. I look at it. I
think they're really stupid.

Speaker 6 (56:52):
You know.

Speaker 5 (56:53):
I kind of gave them a little bit more credit,
you know, but they're standing up their proud holding it,
I mean, the advanta and stuff like that. And if
you listen to this man, he's talking total nonsense, you know.
And that's what I mean.

Speaker 8 (57:12):
He told he told people on National TV to shoot
bleach into their veins. He said that there's there's.

Speaker 5 (57:20):
Videotape of insanement to the American public.

Speaker 8 (57:24):
And because he said that, several people, several idiots people
went out and shot bleach.

Speaker 5 (57:32):
Into their veins.

Speaker 8 (57:33):
Some of them died. And you haven't heard of people
about him.

Speaker 5 (57:40):
But that's how man, that.

Speaker 8 (57:41):
Some of these people want to elect their president.

Speaker 5 (57:44):
And I thought he's saying. I thought he said, shoot
bleach into your ass.

Speaker 6 (57:53):
That's what he's basically saying.

Speaker 5 (57:58):
You can stick something up there, and wouldn't that be
not you know?

But and then this motherfucker talks.

Speaker 5 (58:05):
