The Mornin’ Experience
🔥 Trump vs. Late Night… Again
Donald Trump has added another celebrity feud to the books — this time reigniting his long-running beef with Seth Meyers. On Truth Social, Trump called the NBC host talentless, claimed he has “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” and demanded NBC fire him “IMMEDIATELY.”
Same script, new Saturday.
💔 Arkansas Mental Health Counselor Charged in Deadly Confrontation
New details resurface about Latoshia Daniels, a mental health and anger-management counselor accused of fatally shooting former Memphis pastor Brodes Perry. Prosecutors say she drove hours to confront him over their alleged affair after he refused to tell his wife. A tragic, layered, and unsettling case all around.
🏙 Teenagers Fix What New York Couldn't
New York City has needed an affordable-housing portal for years… so two teenagers built one. A pair of “children of the pandemic” designed the tool adults in government have failed to deliver — giving renters a centralized resource for finding rent-stabilized housing. Innovation, Gen Z style. 🗣
Tuesday Topic: Revisiting BuzzFeed’s “27 Questions Black People Have for Black People” — 10 Years Later Ten years ago, BuzzFeed dropped a video asking Black folks “questions for Black folks.”
Some were funny…
Some were messy…
Some had us squinting like: “Who approved this?” Today, we’re revisiting the list — what holds up, what aged like milk, and what still sparks real conversations in our community. Grab your coffee and your group-chat energy — this one’s gonna get spicy.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Good morning. You're listening to the morning experience. I am
Markue's Lopton and that is shitzy. Get busy. Shit is
what's going on with? Brother? How you feeling? Hey?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Happy Tuesday? We almost to the middle of the week.
Came kind of fast. I'm all for it. Tuesday, Tuesday
is always a good day. So let's see what we
got in store for everybody today.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Yes, sir, yes, sir, and folks, we're gonna let you
know what we have in store for you with these
microwave news headlines, giving you these headlines hot and ready.
Our first story comes from yahoo dot com.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
And during the weekend in which he.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Has raised against his critics, President Donald Trump lashed out
at Seth Meyers, as he has done before, while calling
on the NBC late night hosts to be fired and
get this is the The chairman of the FCC shared
shared the post.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
So, so I guess he's in agreeance.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
And then it's going to be a whole Jimmy Kimmel
thing all over again. Did they not learn their lesson
ships well?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
The President was also saying that his ratings are horrible.
I think he has the highest ratings in that time slot.
So maybe I'm just looking at it wrong, but yeah,
it appears that way, or it appears as though the
president of the FCC is trying to secure a position
in Trump's cabinet somewhere, so whenever this regime goes on
(01:32):
after the next election, that's not going to happen.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
He wants to make sure he has a spot guarantee.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Ah, that is a great point there, brother.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Our next story comes from Atlanta Black Star, and an
Arkansas woman says she snapped.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
After the man she was having an a bearwith refused
to come clean to his wife.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Natashia Daniels, a mental health and anger management counselor, was
indicted in twenty nineteen after fatally shooting thirty six year
old Brodes Perry, the former head pastor of Mississippi Boulevard
Christian Church in Memphis, Tennessee, and according to the Commercial
Appeal Authority say, Daniels drove hours from Little Rock, Arkansas
(02:13):
to the couple's apartment in Memphis to confront Perry about
ending the relationship with his wife and then shot him dead.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
She's so, can someone please explain what her success rate
was as an anger management counselor, that she the said,
you know what, let me, let me, let me put actions,
let me put actions to words, and go ahead and
find this out. Lady, you gotta know your play. Sometime
it wasn't going to happen. You clearly see you had
(02:40):
to drive from Little Rock to Memphis, so you already
had to drive in front of you. You were not
supposed to be seen. And you you overplayed your part.
You really overplayed your part.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
And the crazy thing is, you really have to watch
who you're cheating with these days. Because he probably didn't
think that she would roll up and shoot them in
the head, especially her being a anger management counselor, like
she knows how to anger management.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
He probably thought he had it good. He was like,
I could do this. She ain't gonna do.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Nothing right, she got the skills to de escalate herself.
Boom not anymore, oh man.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Our last story comes from the New York Times, and
New York lacked an affordable housing portal. So these teenagers
made one two children of the pandemic did something that
the grown ups who run this city have never managed
to do. Sh is And this story is just so dope.
But it's just crazy to me that, like teenagers thought
(03:41):
of this and not the adults.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
The teenagers are always out thinking the adults because the
adults are more worried about just trying to line their
pockets up as opposed to make things actually happen. So
I can see it. I can definitely see it. I
can see why this is happening. And I don't think
this is the last stuff it. We need people that
are going to think outside the box and people that
are going to think and trying to help and not
(04:05):
just trying to make money off of every single thing,
especially human suffering.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Yeah, that's what I was thinking about.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Like, Yo, they can just waltz and repeat this and
then you know, start in New York, go to Los
Angeles and then go to Philly, then go to I'm
a Dallas. But it can keep on going and going
and going. This thing has legs. We're going to have
some fun here on this topic Tuesday, and you know
that top of Tuesdays. They can either be you know,
(04:31):
super serious or they can be funny.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
So we decided to lean into the funny. And about ten.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Years ago, bud feed has BuzzFeed excuse me, I had
this ask black people questions and it was a series
with white people would ask black people questions, and then
black people would ask black people questions, and we wanted
to revisit that because that whole situation was just sloppy,
so shitz some of the questions here. Wanted to get
(05:05):
your your real time response here. So mind you, these
are black people asking black people these questions. So one
of these questions that BuzzFeed proposed was why do we
call each other the ED word but then get vehemently
upset when a white person uses that.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
Any word.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Because it's not your place to use it.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
It's just like.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
That's played and simple.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
That that comes from somebody who's like, man, I want
to I use it all the time, but I want
to use it out in public and I can't use it,
and you guys use it all the time, like nah nah, bro,
that that's our word. It's it's a lot of words
in different in different cultures. You can you can use
amongst them, but you can't you can't use as an outsider.
The B word definitely flies amongst women. It's like, now
(05:51):
let a man call a woman the B word, and
then then we're we're we're having a whole civil war.
So look, that it is what it is. That's that's
our word. We we took that word that was that
was meant to demean us and turning into something else.
I won't say we made it powerful, because uh what up.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
N word ain't really.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Powerful, but I mean we took we took the derogatory
out of it.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
I guess she'd said, right right, I'm I mean my
thing is is that you know.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
We we do.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
We do.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
We did to a word what we did to food.
They gave us scraps, We made soul food. You know,
they only would give us watermelon seeds, and we make
you know, this watermelon market. So with the N word,
like we we completely completely turn this word around and
(06:43):
it's just like this is just us being us doing
what we have to do.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Now, that question was a little harmless.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
These these questions get into the weeds here, Shitz, So
why is being educated considered a white thing?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Who the hell said that? See, that's one of them
stereotypes that they try to That's that's one of those
things where it's like, oh, you're educated, so people are
going to look down on you.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Who the Who the hell said that? Who the.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
As someone from the herd of Southwest Philly and who's
college educated with a degree. It's like, no, nobody came
back and said, man, look at this sucker for going
to get it.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
This is not good times.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Man, Like, I don't understand why that that's an issue.
We we we want to be educated, even even the
uneducated want to be educated because that's how they get
their upper hands. So I'm not sure who came up
with that, But that's that bs, that's what I'm talking about.
That's that's the that's the racism shining through the question.
That's like why you guys don't want to be educated?
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Like like and then if you think about it, like
why don't we want to be educated? But when you
think about the most educated group of people in this
country black women, So so that whole thing about you know, well,
being educated is considered a white thing, like no, like
being educated might be considered a black woman thing.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Just just to the racism oozing through these questions, jeez, right.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Oh yeah, that's why they they were a real issue here.
So before we go to our break, just one more,
one more and one more. So do you really believe
that black is beautiful? Or is it that just something
you say? Because it sounds good.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Do you see some of our black stars from a
long time ago who.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Are still here looking amazing? Black?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Black, Black, don't crack. Black is beautiful. Black is amazing.
It's the resiliency of being black, the humor that you
could find in bad situations of being black is beautiful.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Man.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Black people are some beautiful people, and we come in
all different colors, all different sizes, all different hair colors,
eye colors and everything like that. Man, it's being black
is beautiful, and it's an exclusive club, which is why
so many people hate on.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Us because they ain't allowed in it.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
Right right, I.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Will, I will forever, forever, forever, love me some Felicia
Rashad Man and if I could do anything, just touch.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
The hem of Felicia Rashad And.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
That is it.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
BuzzFeed questions Black people have for other black people.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
We are visiting this a.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Decade after after it was brought up because it was
just a problem and it was just a hated video
that went viral because people first hate watching it. So
here's another question, shiz that it asked, why are we
(09:54):
more likely to get involved in a new dance trend
than we are to get involved in pol open a.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
New business because the dance trends actually allow us to
perform those dance trends and see, you gotta you could
be a doctor, you could be in the military, you
could be have a position, and people will still deny you.
You the dance won't deny us. I don't think nobody
would rather learn a new dance trend than to be
involved in those. But that's the only place where we
(10:22):
seem to be accepted. And you have a lot of
people who, especially a lot of women who are in politics,
and you know, take a Jazzmi Crockett for example, and
they just look at her. She's just loud and belligerent.
But now she's she's given you some real stuff. You
just you just can't take it. Yeah, you can't take
it because it's a black woman giving it to you.
But now we we rather be involved in all that.
But we know that we don't have a place in there,
(10:43):
and we know that y'all ain't seeing us in them
dance moves. We already know that ain't happening, right.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
And and also the viewership as well, there are there
are a lot more black people and even a lot
more white people that would Roger that that would rather
why us do the latest TikTok trend then watch us
in some kind of protest. You know, it got to
a point, even even with the George Floyd protest. It
(11:12):
even got to a point where there were people talking about, oh,
you have to protest the right way, you have to
protest the right way, as if there's some kind of
handbook on how do you protest? And all those people
talking about protesting the right way, they ended up not
getting what they wanted because of that protest.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
So it's like you played yourself anyway here, you know that.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Now this is where my mind, this is where my
wine mind wanders off. Brother, I know, we gotta go now.
I thought you were about to talk. I thought you
were about to talk about when the people were crumping
in front of the officers for the George Did you
see when they were they were doing a funeral crump
(11:55):
or whatever the hell that was.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
Yeah, yeah, and then now and then now they're dressing
up like frogs and doing nijitsu and everything like like.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yo yo, folks, man, we creative, but we creative in
the wrong way sometime.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Yoh, straight up, straight up.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
So getting getting more into these questions before we move along.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
So why do you.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Protest black lives matter and then tear each other down
in the next breath.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
That's another one of those questions where it's just kind
of you're you're you're showing, you're showing your you're showing
your racism through the question. Black on black crime is
a is a thing that was made up because crime
is localized, So there's white on white crime.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
We never hear about that. We don't hear about Latin
on Latin crime or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
The whole purpose, as I used to say this all
the time, because you know, you want during that time,
we had a lot of our of our of our
white friends or non black friends who were kind of
questioning what's going on, and it's like, this is this
is what we need the recognition, Yes, everybody's lives do matter,
but in this particular moment, we're talking about the lives
(13:17):
that don't seem to matter to anyone else, which is
why we're telling you that these lives matter. We we
we love each other and and and we have problems
with each other, just like everybody else has problems with
each other, but they seem to get highlighted because nobody
else has to remind the world that our lives actually matter.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
They don't have to do that anywhere else. We seem
to have to do that.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
So when when there's an issue between us, you know,
we get all localized and all jumbled up together.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
I'm just I'm just really surprised that that bussfeed even
did this. I feel like they they played themselves. And
if this happened during the pandemic, that's one thing. But
this happened four years before the pandemic. And and this
(14:06):
is just a wild list, folks. We we we employ
you to go check this list out to yourself.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
It is.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
It is just comedy. This is the morning experience, folks.
And something that really came came across our wires as
we were running through the show. Here Wendy's plans to
close hundreds of US restaurants in the coming months as
revenue and profits declined, with the company citing cutbacks by
(14:35):
lower income consumers that it expects will persist through the
end of the year. So it is expected to close
roughly three hundred stores, and that's about five percent of
its existing restaurants.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
When he said that the closers will.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Start in the fourth quarter this year, and closing underperforming
locations will im traffic and profitability at its remaining U
ass restaurants.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
So shiz.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Fast food is getting more expensive here, which is why
I see something like this happening.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
No, Hey, Wendy's, you out kicked your coverage.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
You out kicked your coverage.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
You had those those that those ninety nine cent menus
that used to get everybody through. We was we was,
we was all for the ninety nine cent menu. That's
what That's what Wendy's was famous for. Even when going
there and and you switch out your I don't even
know they still can you still switch out your fries
for baked potato or something like that?
Speaker 6 (15:36):
Now?
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Can you still do that? Have a damn baked potato
at Wendy's anymore?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
When these Whendys used to have a hit, but you know,
corporate got in and they changed up the style, and
now we're in the situation that we're in. It it's
it's it's sad, but it's they They tried to capitalize
when they were hot, and they were for a while.
But the way everything is, it's catching up with them
now and now they're starting to feel the effects of it,
(16:04):
and a lot of people are going to start losing
jobs and losing livelihoods because of decisions that were made
to try to be greedy at one point in time
instead of keeping everything going.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Yeah, congratulations, they played themselves. Also from the article. This
comes from CBS News. Fast food chains have been struggling
to list sales as lower income consumers fill increasingly.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Squeezed by rising food costs.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Both Wendy's and McDonald's have introduced value mails to entice diners,
but some experts expect the financial strain on these households
won't ease anytime soon. And I'm like, well, yeah, I
never I never expected to spend thirty anything at McDonald's.
And here I am not even including you know, other
(16:53):
family members. It's just me and my girls, and it's
thirty dollars off the rip every single.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Time, you know.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
And as the girls get bigger, it's just like, hey,
y'all want you short? You sure you want a full meal?
You don't want like, you don't want like just a
burger and some fries, got we got soda at the house.
You sure you don't want you gotta you gotta start
breaking it down because it's real out here. And on
top of that, good brother, it's not fast food anymore.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
What have you been too? Fast food restaurants?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
And you go and you get in the drive through,
and and you're in the drive through for about at
least twenty minutes. Dog, I could have went somewhere else,
and you know, shout out to Chick fil A, because
Chick fil A had a line. But it's it's a
constant line. It's just running through Chick Filay. How to
handle things like handle that situation. Other companies not so much.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
This is the morning experience. Thank you for joining us.
So we are talking food now and outbacks parent company
abruptly closed twenty one restaurants and outback stakes. Parent company
abruptly closed twenty one restaurants and last month and is
beginning and comprehensive turnaround strategy to keep up their trendier competitors.
(18:02):
And this also includes twenty two locations as well with
their other brands, which includes Caraba's Italian Grill and Bonefish
Grill as well. They will not have their leases renewed
and they're looking at shrinking about ten percent of their
story ship. So we are not only seeing it on
the McDonald's side, we're seeing it on the Outback Steakhouse
(18:24):
side as well.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Well, that's that's the problem, like you said, is that
these these major companies are well, these companies are buying
up all these different food places and you know, they're
kind of just running off the same menu. You said, Outback,
Carabas and Bonefish, these are all the same place, just
just with a little different abbions and all of them.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
So you know, you you you.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Get these corporate these corporations that are just kind of
like running these places into the ground and after a while,
nobody wants to to go out to eat anymore.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
And without back.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Outback used to have the state game one lot, but
move over, big Dog Texas La Texas Roadhouse and Longhorn
definitely came in and.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Said we got this big dog, go ahead and take
a seat.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
And to that point, Longhorn Steakhouse posted a five point
five percent rise and Texas Roadhouse generated a five point
eight jump in sales in their most recent earnings reports.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
So people they're going to these places.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
I mean, I know why, I'm a Longhorn fan myself,
but people, they are going to these places and they're
choosing not to go to places like an Outback And
you know what, I don't blame them, Shitz. I mean,
you know Texas Roadhouse, Yes, Longhorn, Yes.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I mean if if you're outback steakhouse and your most
famous thing is the blooming onion, you're going to kind
of reach a downfall at some point. The onion was
everything for Outback and you know, I think they get
a blooming onion called the same amount as a steak now.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
So we got to revisit some of our decisions.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
And it says that diners are becoming choosier with their
dollars when going out and they're not spending money at
change now they do not perceive as good value and
that's helped out backed rivals which serve heaping portions and
other chains like Chili's and Applebee's that are focused on
value and deals. I will tell you this, over the years,
I have seen myself go too like an Applebee's more
(20:27):
just based off of the deals.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Man hey, and shout out to Chili's. This isn't an ad,
but shout out to that three for me that will
get you through. I'll get me through. A lot of
lunches to that three for me. But yeah, it's it's.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
It's it's it's it's the.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Quality of the food, it's it's the price of the food.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Of all these factors that kind of just kind of
roll into one and it kind of puts these these
major companies that that brought these these places up, and
it's like, hey, what are you going to do different?
You have all these different food chains under you, but
what are you going to do different from anybody else?
Because clearly the quality isn't the same and the price
isn't worth it at this point, and people were still
(21:05):
going out to eat, so it's not like it's a
it's a crazy recession that stopping people from eating. They're
not eating with you. So you got some you got
some plans to work out.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Yeah, and then we're not even thinking about like places
like a hibachi or a Korean barbecue place or a
Japanese barbecue place.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
You know. So there's there.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
There's definitely definitely more competition that that. I feel as
though that outback may have taken for granted and maybe
thought that they were always going to be around, always
going to be dominant. I stopped going to outback probably
during the pandemic time. I felt like they just dropped off.
When did you stop going.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Probably a little bit before the pandemic, And you know,
we went back maybe about a year or two ago
and just tried it out, and it was just like,
oh yeah, I see we haven't been coming here. It
just made perfect sense. It was like oh okay, like
even even a steak. It was just like the steak.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
It's it's not it's not the size or the quality
of where you.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Would get at these at these new chains and out
back then and do a good job catching up and
look at you.
Speaker 8 (22:21):
Now this is the morning experience, folks.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Thank you for joining us, and thank you for making
us a part of your morning.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Now.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
You know, not to say that I have like any
kind of drinking problem or anything like that. This isn't that,
This isn't an advertisement for morning drinking. But you know,
from time to time I will indulge in in the
morning beer and you know, this apple butter blonde beer
has has just been like like that that that cider
(22:51):
in the morning time.
Speaker 6 (22:52):
You know.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
And and as I you know, get older, as as
as there are more gray streaks in my beer, I've
been really, really really learning that, Like I am leaning
more towards fruit and beer and beer favored fruit and
fruit favorite beer.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
How about you, good brother, have you been seeing that change?
You sound like a baddie.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
It's like, please add add some apple butter to my beer.
I just you know, I just want I want to
cherry break a cherry up and crush it into my beer.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Like, brother, brother, what do you drink Zema's too?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Are you?
Speaker 4 (23:35):
And then and then you try to justify you like you.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Know, it's like it's like cider in the morning. To
drink some damn cider in the morning. Then and know,
you don't have to drink apple butter beer, apple butter
blonde brew, nette beer, whatever the hell you You might.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Have a problem, brother, I think you might yo yo
yo it is.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
But here's the thing. Here's the thing.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
It's good.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
It's good, and and like I don't know, I don't know,
like like I don't I don't drink for drunk, like
I drink for taste and and I just got to
get drunk.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
I don't drink. I drink for taste.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
But you know I always wind up drunk at seven
thirty in the morning with a bunch of beer cans
around my cheer.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Well, y'all know how we get down on the on
the morning experience. That's why I have so much energy
in the morning because it is powered by this apple
butter blonde beer.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Just just just having some fun, folks.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
But in actually know, as we were talking about, you know,
the closures of like Outback and the closures of like
Wendy Is Wendy's and everything. This beer that I'm drinking
actually came from a brewery. And like these breweries they're
lean need more into like these these cuisines and everything
(25:03):
like that, and like one of my favorite breweries back
home that even that took me away from how back
like that was one of the main reasons why that
I stopped going to Outback.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
And I'm hoping that like more of.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
These situations, you know, become situations more, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Yeah, it's people that are capitalizing on this right now.
You know, you can you can go to an outback
and you can get your steak there and you can
get a beer and the beer will cost you thirteen
dollars for a regular for a.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Cup of beer.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
And you can go to the you can go to
the to the breweries and they have everything going on
there and it's drink as much as you want to
for ten bucks.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Like let's just go ahead and have at it.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
And it's just like people are taking advantage where the
outbacks and everybody else.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Like that kind of kind of fumbled the ball. So
I'm all for it.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Let's let's let's let's get to the money, get these
big companies out of here, and and and let's get
it some more independent stuff going on.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Right and and and then then these groups freeze, like
they'll have the live music, they'll have like I'm an
open mic or something like that, Like they'll have something
to accompany your food. So it's it's it's to bring
you back. And it's not just oh well, we got
a great blooming onion, you know. It's it's feel vibe
(26:23):
and ambiance and welcome back to the morning experience. Folks
playing playing playing our most favorite game here, and I
would like to play things that make you say hmmm.
Where we bring up these hypotheticals and we bring them
into real life. So to kick these things that make
you saying hm hm off shiz. On this Tuesday gonta
(26:46):
ask you, uh something here, see if you agree, or
see if you disagree with it. So, which food do
you ask a certain family member to make because nobody
else can make it?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Right?
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Is it a mac and cheese? Be potato salad? See
devilled eggs?
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Or d corn bread?
Speaker 4 (27:08):
All of them except corn bread?
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Listen, popped popp the jiffy up and throw it in
the oven real quick, and everything like that. But yeah,
those other things. It's it's it's levels to mac and cheese,
it's levels to potato solace, levels to all this stuff.
And you have to make sure that you're getting the
right person to make it, because that that somebody making
that stuff wrong will ruin not not just ruin not
(27:33):
just ruin the food that you're eating, it'll ruin the
function you're at or the time that you're having, because
it's like, who the hell put you in charge of
something major like mac and cheese?
Speaker 6 (27:44):
Who the hell?
Speaker 4 (27:45):
But just you can just put anybody in charge of that.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
I look at it as it's either a, A or B.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
For me, it's either mac and cheese or is either
potato salad.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
And like I've been at you know, parties where where
the potatato salad was bad.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
I've been at parties where the mac and cheese is bad.
Now I've gotten over.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
I've gotten over bad potato salad at parties, especially when
everything else is good. I don't get over bad mac
and cheese because if everything else is good, it's just
like so, then why couldn't you make the mac and
cheese good? Like this meal is a seven, it would
be a ten if the mac and cheese would be good,
I wouldn't have that same energy.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
For potato salad.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Yeah, because i mean, look at this point, potato salad
you can go grab it at the store.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
You can grab mac and cheese at the store.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
But I'm not sure if you've been in Chick fil
a line recently, But when you go up there and
they get their advertising, they're little cream colored mac and cheese.
You know who do a number on some mac and cheese? Though, Popeyees,
Popeye's got some pretty decent mac and cheese.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
They that's straight from mama's house.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
I got a I gotta try that out. You know
who surprisingly doesn't make good mac and cheese.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Jamaicans That dry hell dry as hell.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
Yo.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
I am so surprised that that I'm like that that
that must not be amongst, you know, all of the diaspora.
I even have to think that, Like, I think that
mac and cheese is more of a African American diaspora thing,
because I've had.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Mac and cheese from an African before, and it was
It was.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Because because all it looks like is you're just throwing
some noodles and cheese together.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
It's not. It's it's levels to it.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
And when you go in there and you fall flag
and you try to make it seem like you know
what you're doing, you will be humbled very quick once
that thing comes out the oven and you try to
put the spoon in there and it just goes right
to the bottom. It's just like, what the hell did
you put in here? This is the driest mac and
cheese ever.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
So here's some stereotypical stuff here. Why shouldn't a woman
buy a man a.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Pair of shoes?
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Is it A he'll leave you, B he'll start cheating, see,
he'll two step out your life.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Or D he'll start drinking, start drinking.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
What the hell? Where did where did it start drinking?
Come from?
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Me?
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Neither neither?
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Yeah, I don't know where that one came from.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
This is more like an e answer where it's like
your lady's gonna buy you some shoes that she likes,
not that everybody else likes or that you like. This
this will deter other females from talking to you because
you have on them air wax and she's the only
one that likes you in them because she knows who
you are on the inside. And everybody else just see
what you're.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Wearing or those air uncles you know, Oh, I like
when you have your like when you have your ankle exposed,
you should show you your ankles just like, oh no, no, no.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
No support going up the steps or nothing.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Nothing, nothing, nothing.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
So we're gonna get to one more before we break
out of here. And and if mama sent you to
the store with five dollars, what were you supposed to
bring back?
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Change or change?
Speaker 4 (31:22):
You already know her bring and all of it too.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Don't buy a damn thing with my change, boy, bring
all my change back here.
Speaker 8 (31:29):
Yo, America. I just want to say that change is
letter d uh.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
So uh chiz chiz is spot on.
Speaker 8 (31:42):
Uh bring bring back, bring back her her change.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Yeah, have you ever had the change when you weren't
supposed to spend it. Oh that is you rather just
committed like a robbery or something like that, because you
were about to catch it for spending Mom's change.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
No, I wasn't that bold. I wasn't bored enough that
you had you was shook from jump?
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely, definitely definitely, Folks, we are
having some fun here, uh talking about things that make
you say hmm. So here's some more hypotheticals that we
are bringing into real life. When are black folks most
likely to change their voice when a bill collector.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Calls at work in front of white folks or at church?
Mmm mmmm, that's gonna have to be.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
That's gonna be to have to be at work bill
collectors call you, don't We ain't answering. We got a
whole bunch of We got a whole bunch of voicemails
from from Discover sitting there in our in our voicemails
right now. You're definitely at work. Listen, you got the
work voice, but we will it will definitely come out
(32:53):
when somebody when when another in word come in there
acting real in word and I'm gonnaing, I'm gonna bring
my in word out.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Yeah, I would.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
I would say I'm at at work for myself because
you know, working media, so like have to put on
that that reporter voice and everything, have to put on
that anchor voice. But all these other places when a
bill collector calls, like nah, Sam, you are calling, you
(33:24):
are bothering me like you are You are not getting
no polite voice or anything in front of white folks,
like I will be.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Very honest with you, shiitz.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
I used to do that, but as I got older,
it was just like why like still still still N word, like,
regardless of like all the accolades and education and you know,
suits and everything like that, like still N words. You know,
there's still that social equitable on ladder that that you
(33:57):
have to climb, and you know, I'm I'm done climbing.
So if you can't take me as is, then.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Okay, that's on you.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
And then and then we do that. You don't do
that for just random white folks. You don't change your
voice up like that, because what the hell are you
interviewing for? What do you change your voice up for?
What are you about to give.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
You a job?
Speaker 4 (34:17):
Right there on the damn spotlight? He's a regular white person,
just let me, let.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Me change my voice up.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
Like what what are they gonna give you off of that? Right? Right?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
A bunch of nothing? So uh.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
Some some other questions here, Which R and B songstress
would you want to have your back in a fight?
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Say that again?
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Which R and B songstress would you want to have
your back in the fight? K Michelle, Rihanna, Keisha Cole
or Solange?
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Oh, Solange on to come up, but you know what
I'm going Keisha Cole, Keisha Cole.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
I just know.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
I just know she got some fans. And if she don't,
she seemed like it. So somebody's gonna be scared heard
from Jumps. Somebody's just gonna feel that she from that,
she from La so she got some hands yo.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
I would choose Rihanna, Like Rihanna, I'm not mad at
yo yo yo, like like like I feel as though
that that she survived Chris Brown's best, Like I feel
as though that Chris Brown gave gave me everything and
she ate.
Speaker 6 (35:27):
It and and and.
Speaker 8 (35:30):
You know, I partly feel like after it, she was like,
is that all you got?
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Because she just seems like the type that I have
that energy. So I would definitely want her to have
my back. I'm not mad at that answer.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
But let's let's maybe Chris Brown didn't have a lot
to give Maybe maybe he didn't have a lot to
give out.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
Maybe maybe his best wasn't enough.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Maybe maybe uh So, just to wrap things up here
for things that make you say, hmmm, this was this
was a question that has split Black America in half. Man,
So what do you eat on your grits? Cheese, salt
and pepper, sugar or butter.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Now, we did ask this question before, We did ask
this question before, and I'm telling you again, yes, yes, yes,
very as a very very very proud black African American male.
Speaker 4 (36:32):
From the United States, put some sugar on them, damn grits.
Put the sugar on the grits. They belong on there.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
And before before you try to change it up because
I see your face, She's like, you can't tell me
I mean cream of wheat because there's no milk in there. Now,
we ain't dressing it all up like that. We ain't
doing all that. We are putting some sugar.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
And you know what, throw some cheese on it too,
those cheese and sugar.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
I'm all for it, folks, I will tell you this
man your your most favorite media personalities, they will disappoint you.
Heroes is what you said, Shane and Sharp, stephen A
and now Sheitzy get busy.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
I will, I will tell you this.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
This is so disappointing and and and I hate that
I have to wrap this up now because this, this
is a travesty to the grit.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
We had some more stuff to talk about, but.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
But like life just has to stop when when you
start talking about putting putting sugar on on a grit, like,
I don't mean God a grit was made to have
sugar on it. I don't think that God put a
grit on this earth. I don't think that the slaves
(37:48):
created grits to have sugar put on it. It's just
one of those things that salt, pepper and cheese like
it is. It is not a sweet deal. It is
a savory meal.
Speaker 4 (38:03):
So I feel like you're thinking like out back and
you're not trying.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
To expand your mind.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
It's just it's just salt and pepper goes on it. No, sir,
you said, you said, yeah, you're not supposed to salt.
It's not supposed to go on there. I don't think
pig feet are supposed to be pickled, but we damn
sure do that too. We do a lot of pigs
that ain't supposed to happen, and you know what, it
actually turns out better than the originals sometimes.
Speaker 4 (38:26):
So I'm gonna just go ahead and say.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
I'm not gonna.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
I'm not you know, no, you we We're gonna put
some pig feet out of all out of all the
N word foods, out of all the N word food,
I took it in word. I took it.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
That is that is.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
The loves like like like yo yo, if somebody told
me that they eat pickled pig feed, I'm like, your
name is noticed you.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Got you got one of them? And it's not even
it's not even a decent name to it.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
Just pig feet, like even even Chitling's they sound it
don't sound like what it is is like damn what
is that?
Speaker 4 (39:14):
And then like it's pig feet and they picked what
you think it is?
Speaker 3 (39:22):
No, I don't like like like I understand the concept
and everything like that. You know, we were giving the
scraps and whatnot, but that is that that is a wild,
wild thing like pig feet.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
How and why?
Speaker 3 (39:41):
But when I think about, you know, sugar and grits,
like that's just one of those things that don't go together,
like pig feet being pickled.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
I guess that is.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Just tell me, tell me why, tell me why the
sugar can't go on the grit Tell me explain to
me why, and don't tell me.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
Don't hit me with the with the parent and be
like it's just the way it is. No, I want
to know why. I want to know what.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Okay, I will, I will get into the culinary details.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
The sugar cube is not belong on just.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
The whole we horses out here putting whole sugar cube
on the top of the thing.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
Yeah, yeah, because like that, that's what I think about
when I think about sugar, Like, like sugar, it's it's
a treat, like would you put sugar on steaks?
Speaker 1 (40:30):
Would you put sugar on eggs? Would you put sugar
on bacon? Would you would.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
You even put sugar on waffles? Like probably probably.
Speaker 4 (40:39):
Not, I actually do when you put all that syrup
and stuff.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's just what I'm saying. You got
you gotta outdated thought, brother, because I can tell you this.
It was somebody before that said, hey, man, why the
hell would you put sugar on spaghetti? And that is
a Black family staple, like to put some sugar inside
the spaghetti. The Italian people probably look at us like,
(41:03):
what the hell are you doing putting sugar in there?
But we will put some sugar on there. It's not
just for the sweetness. It is because it makes it
that much redd that.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
That that missed my black family. We do not put
sugar in in spaghetti. That that that that missed us.
But you know what else?
Speaker 2 (41:23):
You know, you think some people went through the struggle
and then you realize that and they have to go
through the struggle.
Speaker 6 (41:30):
No I was.
Speaker 3 (41:32):
I was not privileged. We came We came from a house.
We came from a house where spaghetti was the whole meal.
I met people in college where spaghetti was a side dish.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
And I'm like, oh no, no, see those those was
the white folk you were hanging out with when you
were in college. Because spaghetti was not only a mill tonight,
it's the stretch mill. So it'll be the mill tomorrow
as well. And you better take it something for lunch
because we ain't just going through this big pot of spaghetti.
Speaker 1 (41:59):
And it red yo with my dad. We'll bring out
that pot and start cooking spaghetti.
Speaker 5 (42:07):
I'm like, man, we're gonna be eating spaghetti for like
the next five days, and.
Speaker 1 (42:11):
Like you gotta spice it up.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
You got with some cheese slices in it after the
third day, so it's a little different.
Speaker 2 (42:18):
Somebody got a fresh can of sauce, so you just
added to the old spaghetti.
Speaker 4 (42:22):
Like it's done, Mom, it's done. We don't need more
of this.
Speaker 8 (42:26):
Or or they got all this extra sauce, so they
just make new noodles.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
And that's.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
With no burger, no sausage or nothing. And then you
just got some You got noodles and sauce.
Speaker 1 (42:37):
Yeah, that's it. That's it.
Speaker 3 (42:39):
Going ahead, go ahead and finish the sauce. Going ahead,
I'll make some different tomorrow. I bet you well. So folks,
Oh man, I'll tell you. She In and sharp, stephen A. Smith,
Marcellus Wiley, you know she's he get busy. Some of

A great thinking joining us doing it this Tuesday. This
but it's a good one.
Speaker 6 (47:00):
Ship it was, it was.
Speaker 2 (47:01):
It was a great one. You learned some stuff about
your about your people that you work with. All in
all is a great Tuesday, and may stick around for tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (47:11):
We got an all new top ten. Yes, oh, cannot
wait for that.
Speaker 9 (47:15):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (47:15):
And we got the Morning Experience Sports Scores with Scotti.
Speaker 1 (47:21):
So and we have our top ten as well. It's
gonna be a great one. This is the Morning Experience.
Good morning. You're listening to the morning experience. I am
Markue's Lopton and that is shitzy. Get busy. Shit is
what's going on with? Brother? How you feeling? Hey?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Happy Tuesday? We almost to the middle of the week.
Came kind of fast. I'm all for it. Tuesday, Tuesday
is always a good day. So let's see what we
got in store for everybody today.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Yes, sir, yes, sir, and folks, we're gonna let you
know what we have in store for you with these
microwave news headlines, giving you these headlines hot and ready.
Our first story comes from yahoo dot com.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
And during the weekend in which he.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Has raised against his critics, President Donald Trump lashed out
at Seth Meyers, as he has done before, while calling
on the NBC late night hosts to be fired and
get this is the The chairman of the FCC shared
shared the post.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
So, so I guess he's in agreeance.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
And then it's going to be a whole Jimmy Kimmel
thing all over again. Did they not learn their lesson
ships well?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
The President was also saying that his ratings are horrible.
I think he has the highest ratings in that time slot.
So maybe I'm just looking at it wrong, but yeah,
it appears that way, or it appears as though the
president of the FCC is trying to secure a position
in Trump's cabinet somewhere, so whenever this regime goes on
(01:32):
after the next election, that's not going to happen.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
He wants to make sure he has a spot guarantee.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Ah, that is a great point there, brother.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Our next story comes from Atlanta Black Star, and an
Arkansas woman says she snapped.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
After the man she was having an a bearwith refused
to come clean to his wife.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Natashia Daniels, a mental health and anger management counselor, was
indicted in twenty nineteen after fatally shooting thirty six year
old Brodes Perry, the former head pastor of Mississippi Boulevard
Christian Church in Memphis, Tennessee, and according to the Commercial
Appeal Authority say, Daniels drove hours from Little Rock, Arkansas
(02:13):
to the couple's apartment in Memphis to confront Perry about
ending the relationship with his wife and then shot him dead.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
She's so, can someone please explain what her success rate
was as an anger management counselor, that she the said,
you know what, let me, let me, let me put actions,
let me put actions to words, and go ahead and
find this out. Lady, you gotta know your play. Sometime
it wasn't going to happen. You clearly see you had
(02:40):
to drive from Little Rock to Memphis, so you already
had to drive in front of you. You were not
supposed to be seen. And you you overplayed your part.
You really overplayed your part.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
And the crazy thing is, you really have to watch
who you're cheating with these days. Because he probably didn't
think that she would roll up and shoot them in
the head, especially her being a anger management counselor, like
she knows how to anger management.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
He probably thought he had it good. He was like,
I could do this. She ain't gonna do.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Nothing right, she got the skills to de escalate herself.
Boom not anymore, oh man.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Our last story comes from the New York Times, and
New York lacked an affordable housing portal. So these teenagers
made one two children of the pandemic did something that
the grown ups who run this city have never managed
to do. Sh is And this story is just so dope.
But it's just crazy to me that, like teenagers thought
(03:41):
of this and not the adults.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
The teenagers are always out thinking the adults because the
adults are more worried about just trying to line their
pockets up as opposed to make things actually happen. So
I can see it. I can definitely see it. I
can see why this is happening. And I don't think
this is the last stuff it. We need people that
are going to think outside the box and people that
are going to think and trying to help and not
(04:05):
just trying to make money off of every single thing,
especially human suffering.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Yeah, that's what I was thinking about.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Like, Yo, they can just waltz and repeat this and
then you know, start in New York, go to Los
Angeles and then go to Philly, then go to I'm
a Dallas. But it can keep on going and going
and going. This thing has legs. We're going to have
some fun here on this topic Tuesday, and you know
that top of Tuesdays. They can either be you know,
(04:31):
super serious or they can be funny.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
So we decided to lean into the funny. And about ten.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Years ago, bud feed has BuzzFeed excuse me, I had
this ask black people questions and it was a series
with white people would ask black people questions, and then
black people would ask black people questions, and we wanted
to revisit that because that whole situation was just sloppy,
so shitz some of the questions here. Wanted to get
(05:05):
your your real time response here. So mind you, these
are black people asking black people these questions. So one
of these questions that BuzzFeed proposed was why do we
call each other the ED word but then get vehemently
upset when a white person uses that.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
Any word.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Because it's not your place to use it.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
It's just like.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
That's played and simple.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
That that comes from somebody who's like, man, I want
to I use it all the time, but I want
to use it out in public and I can't use it,
and you guys use it all the time, like nah nah, bro,
that that's our word. It's it's a lot of words
in different in different cultures. You can you can use
amongst them, but you can't you can't use as an outsider.
The B word definitely flies amongst women. It's like, now
(05:51):
let a man call a woman the B word, and
then then we're we're we're having a whole civil war.
So look, that it is what it is. That's that's
our word. We we took that word that was that
was meant to demean us and turning into something else.
I won't say we made it powerful, because uh what up.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
N word ain't really.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Powerful, but I mean we took we took the derogatory
out of it.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
I guess she'd said, right right, I'm I mean my
thing is is that you know.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
We we do.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
We do.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
We did to a word what we did to food.
They gave us scraps, We made soul food. You know,
they only would give us watermelon seeds, and we make
you know, this watermelon market. So with the N word,
like we we completely completely turn this word around and
(06:43):
it's just like this is just us being us doing
what we have to do.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Now, that question was a little harmless.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
These these questions get into the weeds here, Shitz, So
why is being educated considered a white thing?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Who the hell said that? See, that's one of them
stereotypes that they try to That's that's one of those
things where it's like, oh, you're educated, so people are
going to look down on you.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Who the Who the hell said that? Who the.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
As someone from the herd of Southwest Philly and who's
college educated with a degree. It's like, no, nobody came
back and said, man, look at this sucker for going
to get it.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
This is not good times.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Man, Like, I don't understand why that that's an issue.
We we we want to be educated, even even the
uneducated want to be educated because that's how they get
their upper hands. So I'm not sure who came up
with that, But that's that bs, that's what I'm talking about.
That's that's the that's the racism shining through the question.
That's like why you guys don't want to be educated?
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Like like and then if you think about it, like
why don't we want to be educated? But when you
think about the most educated group of people in this
country black women, So so that whole thing about you know, well,
being educated is considered a white thing, like no, like
being educated might be considered a black woman thing.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Just just to the racism oozing through these questions, jeez, right.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Oh yeah, that's why they they were a real issue here.
So before we go to our break, just one more,
one more and one more. So do you really believe
that black is beautiful? Or is it that just something
you say? Because it sounds good.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Do you see some of our black stars from a
long time ago who.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Are still here looking amazing? Black?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Black, Black, don't crack. Black is beautiful. Black is amazing.
It's the resiliency of being black, the humor that you
could find in bad situations of being black is beautiful.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Man.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Black people are some beautiful people, and we come in
all different colors, all different sizes, all different hair colors,
eye colors and everything like that. Man, it's being black
is beautiful, and it's an exclusive club, which is why
so many people hate on.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Us because they ain't allowed in it.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
Right right, I.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Will, I will forever, forever, forever, love me some Felicia
Rashad Man and if I could do anything, just touch.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
The hem of Felicia Rashad And.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
That is it.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
BuzzFeed questions Black people have for other black people.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
We are visiting this a.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Decade after after it was brought up because it was
just a problem and it was just a hated video
that went viral because people first hate watching it. So
here's another question, shiz that it asked, why are we
(09:54):
more likely to get involved in a new dance trend
than we are to get involved in pol open a.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
New business because the dance trends actually allow us to
perform those dance trends and see, you gotta you could
be a doctor, you could be in the military, you
could be have a position, and people will still deny you.
You the dance won't deny us. I don't think nobody
would rather learn a new dance trend than to be
involved in those. But that's the only place where we
(10:22):
seem to be accepted. And you have a lot of
people who, especially a lot of women who are in politics,
and you know, take a Jazzmi Crockett for example, and
they just look at her. She's just loud and belligerent.
But now she's she's given you some real stuff. You
just you just can't take it. Yeah, you can't take
it because it's a black woman giving it to you.
But now we we rather be involved in all that.
But we know that we don't have a place in there,
(10:43):
and we know that y'all ain't seeing us in them
dance moves. We already know that ain't happening, right.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
And and also the viewership as well, there are there
are a lot more black people and even a lot
more white people that would Roger that that would rather
why us do the latest TikTok trend then watch us
in some kind of protest. You know, it got to
a point, even even with the George Floyd protest. It
(11:12):
even got to a point where there were people talking about, oh,
you have to protest the right way, you have to
protest the right way, as if there's some kind of
handbook on how do you protest? And all those people
talking about protesting the right way, they ended up not
getting what they wanted because of that protest.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
So it's like you played yourself anyway here, you know that.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Now this is where my mind, this is where my
wine mind wanders off. Brother, I know, we gotta go now.
I thought you were about to talk. I thought you
were about to talk about when the people were crumping
in front of the officers for the George Did you
see when they were they were doing a funeral crump
(11:55):
or whatever the hell that was.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
Yeah, yeah, and then now and then now they're dressing
up like frogs and doing nijitsu and everything like like.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yo yo, folks, man, we creative, but we creative in
the wrong way sometime.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Yoh, straight up, straight up.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
So getting getting more into these questions before we move along.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
So why do you.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Protest black lives matter and then tear each other down
in the next breath.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
That's another one of those questions where it's just kind
of you're you're you're showing, you're showing your you're showing
your racism through the question. Black on black crime is
a is a thing that was made up because crime
is localized, So there's white on white crime.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
We never hear about that. We don't hear about Latin
on Latin crime or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
The whole purpose, as I used to say this all
the time, because you know, you want during that time,
we had a lot of our of our of our
white friends or non black friends who were kind of
questioning what's going on, and it's like, this is this
is what we need the recognition, Yes, everybody's lives do matter,
but in this particular moment, we're talking about the lives
(13:17):
that don't seem to matter to anyone else, which is
why we're telling you that these lives matter. We we
we love each other and and and we have problems
with each other, just like everybody else has problems with
each other, but they seem to get highlighted because nobody
else has to remind the world that our lives actually matter.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
They don't have to do that anywhere else. We seem
to have to do that.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
So when when there's an issue between us, you know,
we get all localized and all jumbled up together.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
I'm just I'm just really surprised that that bussfeed even
did this. I feel like they they played themselves. And
if this happened during the pandemic, that's one thing. But
this happened four years before the pandemic. And and this
(14:06):
is just a wild list, folks. We we we employ
you to go check this list out to yourself.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
It is.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
It is just comedy. This is the morning experience, folks.
And something that really came came across our wires as
we were running through the show. Here Wendy's plans to
close hundreds of US restaurants in the coming months as
revenue and profits declined, with the company citing cutbacks by
(14:35):
lower income consumers that it expects will persist through the
end of the year. So it is expected to close
roughly three hundred stores, and that's about five percent of
its existing restaurants.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
When he said that the closers will.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Start in the fourth quarter this year, and closing underperforming
locations will im traffic and profitability at its remaining U
ass restaurants.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
So shiz.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Fast food is getting more expensive here, which is why
I see something like this happening.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
No, Hey, Wendy's, you out kicked your coverage.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
You out kicked your coverage.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
You had those those that those ninety nine cent menus
that used to get everybody through. We was we was,
we was all for the ninety nine cent menu. That's
what That's what Wendy's was famous for. Even when going
there and and you switch out your I don't even
know they still can you still switch out your fries
for baked potato or something like that?
Speaker 6 (15:36):
Now?
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Can you still do that? Have a damn baked potato
at Wendy's anymore?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
When these Whendys used to have a hit, but you know,
corporate got in and they changed up the style, and
now we're in the situation that we're in. It it's
it's it's sad, but it's they They tried to capitalize
when they were hot, and they were for a while.
But the way everything is, it's catching up with them
now and now they're starting to feel the effects of it,
(16:04):
and a lot of people are going to start losing
jobs and losing livelihoods because of decisions that were made
to try to be greedy at one point in time
instead of keeping everything going.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Yeah, congratulations, they played themselves. Also from the article. This
comes from CBS News. Fast food chains have been struggling
to list sales as lower income consumers fill increasingly.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Squeezed by rising food costs.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Both Wendy's and McDonald's have introduced value mails to entice diners,
but some experts expect the financial strain on these households
won't ease anytime soon. And I'm like, well, yeah, I
never I never expected to spend thirty anything at McDonald's.
And here I am not even including you know, other
(16:53):
family members. It's just me and my girls, and it's
thirty dollars off the rip every single.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Time, you know.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
And as the girls get bigger, it's just like, hey,
y'all want you short? You sure you want a full meal?
You don't want like, you don't want like just a
burger and some fries, got we got soda at the house.
You sure you don't want you gotta you gotta start
breaking it down because it's real out here. And on
top of that, good brother, it's not fast food anymore.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
What have you been too? Fast food restaurants?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
And you go and you get in the drive through,
and and you're in the drive through for about at
least twenty minutes. Dog, I could have went somewhere else,
and you know, shout out to Chick fil A, because
Chick fil A had a line. But it's it's a
constant line. It's just running through Chick Filay. How to
handle things like handle that situation. Other companies not so much.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
This is the morning experience. Thank you for joining us.
So we are talking food now and outbacks parent company
abruptly closed twenty one restaurants and outback stakes. Parent company
abruptly closed twenty one restaurants and last month and is
beginning and comprehensive turnaround strategy to keep up their trendier competitors.
(18:02):
And this also includes twenty two locations as well with
their other brands, which includes Caraba's Italian Grill and Bonefish
Grill as well. They will not have their leases renewed
and they're looking at shrinking about ten percent of their
story ship. So we are not only seeing it on
the McDonald's side, we're seeing it on the Outback Steakhouse
(18:24):
side as well.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Well, that's that's the problem, like you said, is that
these these major companies are well, these companies are buying
up all these different food places and you know, they're
kind of just running off the same menu. You said, Outback,
Carabas and Bonefish, these are all the same place, just
just with a little different abbions and all of them.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
So you know, you you you.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Get these corporate these corporations that are just kind of
like running these places into the ground and after a while,
nobody wants to to go out to eat anymore.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
And without back.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Outback used to have the state game one lot, but
move over, big Dog Texas La Texas Roadhouse and Longhorn
definitely came in and.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Said we got this big dog, go ahead and take
a seat.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
And to that point, Longhorn Steakhouse posted a five point
five percent rise and Texas Roadhouse generated a five point
eight jump in sales in their most recent earnings reports.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
So people they're going to these places.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
I mean, I know why, I'm a Longhorn fan myself,
but people, they are going to these places and they're
choosing not to go to places like an Outback And
you know what, I don't blame them, Shitz. I mean,
you know Texas Roadhouse, Yes, Longhorn, Yes.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I mean if if you're outback steakhouse and your most
famous thing is the blooming onion, you're going to kind
of reach a downfall at some point. The onion was
everything for Outback and you know, I think they get
a blooming onion called the same amount as a steak now.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
So we got to revisit some of our decisions.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
And it says that diners are becoming choosier with their
dollars when going out and they're not spending money at
change now they do not perceive as good value and
that's helped out backed rivals which serve heaping portions and
other chains like Chili's and Applebee's that are focused on
value and deals. I will tell you this, over the years,
I have seen myself go too like an Applebee's more
(20:27):
just based off of the deals.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Man hey, and shout out to Chili's. This isn't an ad,
but shout out to that three for me that will
get you through. I'll get me through. A lot of
lunches to that three for me. But yeah, it's it's.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
It's it's it's it's the.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Quality of the food, it's it's the price of the food.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Of all these factors that kind of just kind of
roll into one and it kind of puts these these
major companies that that brought these these places up, and
it's like, hey, what are you going to do different?
You have all these different food chains under you, but
what are you going to do different from anybody else?
Because clearly the quality isn't the same and the price
isn't worth it at this point, and people were still
(21:05):
going out to eat, so it's not like it's a
it's a crazy recession that stopping people from eating. They're
not eating with you. So you got some you got
some plans to work out.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Yeah, and then we're not even thinking about like places
like a hibachi or a Korean barbecue place or a
Japanese barbecue place.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
You know. So there's there.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
There's definitely definitely more competition that that. I feel as
though that outback may have taken for granted and maybe
thought that they were always going to be around, always
going to be dominant. I stopped going to outback probably
during the pandemic time. I felt like they just dropped off.
When did you stop going.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Probably a little bit before the pandemic, And you know,
we went back maybe about a year or two ago
and just tried it out, and it was just like,
oh yeah, I see we haven't been coming here. It
just made perfect sense. It was like oh okay, like
even even a steak. It was just like the steak.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
It's it's not it's not the size or the quality
of where you.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Would get at these at these new chains and out
back then and do a good job catching up and
look at you.
Speaker 8 (22:21):
Now this is the morning experience, folks.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Thank you for joining us, and thank you for making
us a part of your morning.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Now.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
You know, not to say that I have like any
kind of drinking problem or anything like that. This isn't that,
This isn't an advertisement for morning drinking. But you know,
from time to time I will indulge in in the
morning beer and you know, this apple butter blonde beer
has has just been like like that that that cider
(22:51):
in the morning time.
Speaker 6 (22:52):
You know.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
And and as I you know, get older, as as
as there are more gray streaks in my beer, I've
been really, really really learning that, Like I am leaning
more towards fruit and beer and beer favored fruit and
fruit favorite beer.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
How about you, good brother, have you been seeing that change?
You sound like a baddie.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
It's like, please add add some apple butter to my beer.
I just you know, I just want I want to
cherry break a cherry up and crush it into my beer.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Like, brother, brother, what do you drink Zema's too?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Are you?
Speaker 4 (23:35):
And then and then you try to justify you like you.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Know, it's like it's like cider in the morning. To
drink some damn cider in the morning. Then and know,
you don't have to drink apple butter beer, apple butter
blonde brew, nette beer, whatever the hell you You might.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Have a problem, brother, I think you might yo yo
yo it is.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
But here's the thing. Here's the thing.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
It's good.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
It's good, and and like I don't know, I don't know,
like like I don't I don't drink for drunk, like
I drink for taste and and I just got to
get drunk.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
I don't drink. I drink for taste.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
But you know I always wind up drunk at seven
thirty in the morning with a bunch of beer cans
around my cheer.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Well, y'all know how we get down on the on
the morning experience. That's why I have so much energy
in the morning because it is powered by this apple
butter blonde beer.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Just just just having some fun, folks.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
But in actually know, as we were talking about, you know,
the closures of like Outback and the closures of like
Wendy Is Wendy's and everything. This beer that I'm drinking
actually came from a brewery. And like these breweries they're
lean need more into like these these cuisines and everything
(25:03):
like that, and like one of my favorite breweries back
home that even that took me away from how back
like that was one of the main reasons why that
I stopped going to Outback.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
And I'm hoping that like more of.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
These situations, you know, become situations more, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Yeah, it's people that are capitalizing on this right now.
You know, you can you can go to an outback
and you can get your steak there and you can
get a beer and the beer will cost you thirteen
dollars for a regular for a.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Cup of beer.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
And you can go to the you can go to
the to the breweries and they have everything going on
there and it's drink as much as you want to
for ten bucks.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Like let's just go ahead and have at it.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
And it's just like people are taking advantage where the
outbacks and everybody else.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Like that kind of kind of fumbled the ball. So
I'm all for it.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Let's let's let's let's get to the money, get these
big companies out of here, and and and let's get
it some more independent stuff going on.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Right and and and then then these groups freeze, like
they'll have the live music, they'll have like I'm an
open mic or something like that, Like they'll have something
to accompany your food. So it's it's it's to bring
you back. And it's not just oh well, we got
a great blooming onion, you know. It's it's feel vibe
(26:23):
and ambiance and welcome back to the morning experience. Folks
playing playing playing our most favorite game here, and I
would like to play things that make you say hmmm.
Where we bring up these hypotheticals and we bring them
into real life. So to kick these things that make
you saying hm hm off shiz. On this Tuesday gonta
(26:46):
ask you, uh something here, see if you agree, or
see if you disagree with it. So, which food do
you ask a certain family member to make because nobody
else can make it?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Right?
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Is it a mac and cheese? Be potato salad? See
devilled eggs?
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Or d corn bread?
Speaker 4 (27:08):
All of them except corn bread?
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Listen, popped popp the jiffy up and throw it in
the oven real quick, and everything like that. But yeah,
those other things. It's it's it's levels to mac and cheese,
it's levels to potato solace, levels to all this stuff.
And you have to make sure that you're getting the
right person to make it, because that that somebody making
that stuff wrong will ruin not not just ruin not
(27:33):
just ruin the food that you're eating, it'll ruin the
function you're at or the time that you're having, because
it's like, who the hell put you in charge of
something major like mac and cheese?
Speaker 6 (27:44):
Who the hell?
Speaker 4 (27:45):
But just you can just put anybody in charge of that.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
I look at it as it's either a, A or B.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
For me, it's either mac and cheese or is either
potato salad.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
And like I've been at you know, parties where where
the potatato salad was bad.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
I've been at parties where the mac and cheese is bad.
Now I've gotten over.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
I've gotten over bad potato salad at parties, especially when
everything else is good. I don't get over bad mac
and cheese because if everything else is good, it's just
like so, then why couldn't you make the mac and
cheese good? Like this meal is a seven, it would
be a ten if the mac and cheese would be good,
I wouldn't have that same energy.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
For potato salad.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Yeah, because i mean, look at this point, potato salad
you can go grab it at the store.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
You can grab mac and cheese at the store.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
But I'm not sure if you've been in Chick fil
a line recently, But when you go up there and
they get their advertising, they're little cream colored mac and cheese.
You know who do a number on some mac and cheese? Though, Popeyees,
Popeye's got some pretty decent mac and cheese.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
They that's straight from mama's house.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
I got a I gotta try that out. You know
who surprisingly doesn't make good mac and cheese.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Jamaicans That dry hell dry as hell.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
Yo.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
I am so surprised that that I'm like that that
that must not be amongst, you know, all of the diaspora.
I even have to think that, Like, I think that
mac and cheese is more of a African American diaspora thing,
because I've had.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Mac and cheese from an African before, and it was
It was.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Because because all it looks like is you're just throwing
some noodles and cheese together.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
It's not. It's it's levels to it.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
And when you go in there and you fall flag
and you try to make it seem like you know
what you're doing, you will be humbled very quick once
that thing comes out the oven and you try to
put the spoon in there and it just goes right
to the bottom. It's just like, what the hell did
you put in here? This is the driest mac and
cheese ever.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
So here's some stereotypical stuff here. Why shouldn't a woman
buy a man a.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Pair of shoes?
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Is it A he'll leave you, B he'll start cheating, see,
he'll two step out your life.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Or D he'll start drinking, start drinking.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
What the hell? Where did where did it start drinking?
Come from?
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Me?
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Neither neither?
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Yeah, I don't know where that one came from.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
This is more like an e answer where it's like
your lady's gonna buy you some shoes that she likes,
not that everybody else likes or that you like. This
this will deter other females from talking to you because
you have on them air wax and she's the only
one that likes you in them because she knows who
you are on the inside. And everybody else just see
what you're.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Wearing or those air uncles you know, Oh, I like
when you have your like when you have your ankle exposed,
you should show you your ankles just like, oh no, no, no.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
No support going up the steps or nothing.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Nothing, nothing, nothing.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
So we're gonna get to one more before we break
out of here. And and if mama sent you to
the store with five dollars, what were you supposed to
bring back?
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Change or change?
Speaker 4 (31:22):
You already know her bring and all of it too.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Don't buy a damn thing with my change, boy, bring
all my change back here.
Speaker 8 (31:29):
Yo, America. I just want to say that change is
letter d uh.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
So uh chiz chiz is spot on.
Speaker 8 (31:42):
Uh bring bring back, bring back her her change.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Yeah, have you ever had the change when you weren't
supposed to spend it. Oh that is you rather just
committed like a robbery or something like that, because you
were about to catch it for spending Mom's change.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
No, I wasn't that bold. I wasn't bored enough that
you had you was shook from jump?
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely, definitely definitely, Folks, we are
having some fun here, uh talking about things that make
you say hmm. So here's some more hypotheticals that we
are bringing into real life. When are black folks most
likely to change their voice when a bill collector.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Calls at work in front of white folks or at church?
Mmm mmmm, that's gonna have to be.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
That's gonna be to have to be at work bill
collectors call you, don't We ain't answering. We got a
whole bunch of We got a whole bunch of voicemails
from from Discover sitting there in our in our voicemails
right now. You're definitely at work. Listen, you got the
work voice, but we will it will definitely come out
(32:53):
when somebody when when another in word come in there
acting real in word and I'm gonnaing, I'm gonna bring
my in word out.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Yeah, I would.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
I would say I'm at at work for myself because
you know, working media, so like have to put on
that that reporter voice and everything, have to put on
that anchor voice. But all these other places when a
bill collector calls, like nah, Sam, you are calling, you
(33:24):
are bothering me like you are You are not getting
no polite voice or anything in front of white folks,
like I will be.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Very honest with you, shiitz.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
I used to do that, but as I got older,
it was just like why like still still still N word, like,
regardless of like all the accolades and education and you know,
suits and everything like that, like still N words. You know,
there's still that social equitable on ladder that that you
(33:57):
have to climb, and you know, I'm I'm done climbing.
So if you can't take me as is, then.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Okay, that's on you.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
And then and then we do that. You don't do
that for just random white folks. You don't change your
voice up like that, because what the hell are you
interviewing for? What do you change your voice up for?
What are you about to give.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
You a job?
Speaker 4 (34:17):
Right there on the damn spotlight? He's a regular white person,
just let me, let.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Me change my voice up.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
Like what what are they gonna give you off of that? Right? Right?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
A bunch of nothing? So uh.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
Some some other questions here, Which R and B songstress
would you want to have your back in a fight?
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Say that again?
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Which R and B songstress would you want to have
your back in the fight? K Michelle, Rihanna, Keisha Cole
or Solange?
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Oh, Solange on to come up, but you know what
I'm going Keisha Cole, Keisha Cole.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
I just know.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
I just know she got some fans. And if she don't,
she seemed like it. So somebody's gonna be scared heard
from Jumps. Somebody's just gonna feel that she from that,
she from La so she got some hands yo.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
I would choose Rihanna, Like Rihanna, I'm not mad at
yo yo yo, like like like I feel as though
that that she survived Chris Brown's best, Like I feel
as though that Chris Brown gave gave me everything and
she ate.
Speaker 6 (35:27):
It and and and.
Speaker 8 (35:30):
You know, I partly feel like after it, she was like,
is that all you got?
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Because she just seems like the type that I have
that energy. So I would definitely want her to have
my back. I'm not mad at that answer.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
But let's let's maybe Chris Brown didn't have a lot
to give Maybe maybe he didn't have a lot to
give out.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
Maybe maybe his best wasn't enough.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Maybe maybe uh So, just to wrap things up here
for things that make you say, hmmm, this was this
was a question that has split Black America in half. Man,
So what do you eat on your grits? Cheese, salt
and pepper, sugar or butter.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Now, we did ask this question before, We did ask
this question before, and I'm telling you again, yes, yes, yes,
very as a very very very proud black African American male.
Speaker 4 (36:32):
From the United States, put some sugar on them, damn grits.
Put the sugar on the grits. They belong on there.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
And before before you try to change it up because
I see your face, She's like, you can't tell me
I mean cream of wheat because there's no milk in there. Now,
we ain't dressing it all up like that. We ain't
doing all that. We are putting some sugar.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
And you know what, throw some cheese on it too,
those cheese and sugar.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
I'm all for it, folks, I will tell you this
man your your most favorite media personalities, they will disappoint you.
Heroes is what you said, Shane and Sharp, stephen A
and now Sheitzy get busy.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
I will, I will tell you this.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
This is so disappointing and and and I hate that
I have to wrap this up now because this, this
is a travesty to the grit.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
We had some more stuff to talk about, but.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
But like life just has to stop when when you
start talking about putting putting sugar on on a grit, like,
I don't mean God a grit was made to have
sugar on it. I don't think that God put a
grit on this earth. I don't think that the slaves
(37:48):
created grits to have sugar put on it. It's just
one of those things that salt, pepper and cheese like
it is. It is not a sweet deal. It is
a savory meal.
Speaker 4 (38:03):
So I feel like you're thinking like out back and
you're not trying.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
To expand your mind.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
It's just it's just salt and pepper goes on it. No, sir,
you said, you said, yeah, you're not supposed to salt.
It's not supposed to go on there. I don't think
pig feet are supposed to be pickled, but we damn
sure do that too. We do a lot of pigs
that ain't supposed to happen, and you know what, it
actually turns out better than the originals sometimes.
Speaker 4 (38:26):
So I'm gonna just go ahead and say.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
I'm not gonna.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
I'm not you know, no, you we We're gonna put
some pig feet out of all out of all the
N word foods, out of all the N word food,
I took it in word. I took it.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
That is that is.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
The loves like like like yo yo, if somebody told
me that they eat pickled pig feed, I'm like, your
name is noticed you.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Got you got one of them? And it's not even
it's not even a decent name to it.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
Just pig feet, like even even Chitling's they sound it
don't sound like what it is is like damn what
is that?
Speaker 4 (39:14):
And then like it's pig feet and they picked what
you think it is?
Speaker 3 (39:22):
No, I don't like like like I understand the concept
and everything like that. You know, we were giving the
scraps and whatnot, but that is that that is a wild,
wild thing like pig feet.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
How and why?
Speaker 3 (39:41):
But when I think about, you know, sugar and grits,
like that's just one of those things that don't go together,
like pig feet being pickled.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
I guess that is.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Just tell me, tell me why, tell me why the
sugar can't go on the grit Tell me explain to
me why, and don't tell me.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
Don't hit me with the with the parent and be
like it's just the way it is. No, I want
to know why. I want to know what.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Okay, I will, I will get into the culinary details.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
The sugar cube is not belong on just.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
The whole we horses out here putting whole sugar cube
on the top of the thing.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
Yeah, yeah, because like that, that's what I think about
when I think about sugar, Like, like sugar, it's it's
a treat, like would you put sugar on steaks?
Speaker 1 (40:30):
Would you put sugar on eggs? Would you put sugar
on bacon? Would you would.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
You even put sugar on waffles? Like probably probably.
Speaker 4 (40:39):
Not, I actually do when you put all that syrup
and stuff.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's just what I'm saying. You got
you gotta outdated thought, brother, because I can tell you this.
It was somebody before that said, hey, man, why the
hell would you put sugar on spaghetti? And that is
a Black family staple, like to put some sugar inside
the spaghetti. The Italian people probably look at us like,
(41:03):
what the hell are you doing putting sugar in there?
But we will put some sugar on there. It's not
just for the sweetness. It is because it makes it
that much redd that.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
That that missed my black family. We do not put
sugar in in spaghetti. That that that that missed us.
But you know what else?
Speaker 2 (41:23):
You know, you think some people went through the struggle
and then you realize that and they have to go
through the struggle.
Speaker 6 (41:30):
No I was.
Speaker 3 (41:32):
I was not privileged. We came We came from a house.
We came from a house where spaghetti was the whole meal.
I met people in college where spaghetti was a side dish.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
And I'm like, oh no, no, see those those was
the white folk you were hanging out with when you
were in college. Because spaghetti was not only a mill tonight,
it's the stretch mill. So it'll be the mill tomorrow
as well. And you better take it something for lunch
because we ain't just going through this big pot of spaghetti.
Speaker 1 (41:59):
And it red yo with my dad. We'll bring out
that pot and start cooking spaghetti.
Speaker 5 (42:07):
I'm like, man, we're gonna be eating spaghetti for like
the next five days, and.
Speaker 1 (42:11):
Like you gotta spice it up.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
You got with some cheese slices in it after the
third day, so it's a little different.
Speaker 2 (42:18):
Somebody got a fresh can of sauce, so you just
added to the old spaghetti.
Speaker 4 (42:22):
Like it's done, Mom, it's done. We don't need more
of this.
Speaker 8 (42:26):
Or or they got all this extra sauce, so they
just make new noodles.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
And that's.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
With no burger, no sausage or nothing. And then you
just got some You got noodles and sauce.
Speaker 1 (42:37):
Yeah, that's it. That's it.
Speaker 3 (42:39):
Going ahead, go ahead and finish the sauce. Going ahead,
I'll make some different tomorrow. I bet you well. So folks,
Oh man, I'll tell you. She In and sharp, stephen A. Smith,
