It is going to be a great Wednesday.
Speaker 7 (03:30):
I don't know. I don't know because I'm a Ravens fan.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
All the hills that he's running, folks. This is the
Morning Experience.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
And we beginning the show with the Microwave News giving
you these headline Hot and Ready. And our first story
comes from ABC seven and the Pentagon is stepping up
media restrictions and they are now requiring approval before reporting
on military business shiz.
Speaker 8 (04:18):
And this is for classified and unclassified information coming out,
So it's just a censer. You have to write and
get permission to put any stories, any type of thing.
If that's not directing the narrative, I don't know what is.
Speaker 7 (04:34):
Absolutely and if the Pentagon can restrict unclassified information, like, really,
what is free press? And at the end of the day,
this is not about national security. This is about changing
the narrative about what's happening.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Right right Indeed, indeed, our second story comes from the
Grioh and Mackenzie Scott gives seventy million to the United
Negro College Fund to financially strengthen HBCUs. Uh lease, this
is some good stuff.
Speaker 7 (05:02):
You're right, Mackenzie the only only bezos I like because
she stayed giving money away to HBCUs and other black initiatives.
So shout out to McKenzie.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Yeah, and this is what's needed. This is this.
Speaker 8 (05:16):
I hope this helps, not even just helps, I hope this.
This puts these these HBCUs on another level and puts
them in the conversations that they weren't in before.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
This is absolutely needed. So shout out to McKenzie.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And I'm looking to see what Morgan
State does with this.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Where the money reside, Where the money reside? Uh uh.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
And our final story also comes from the Grill dot
Com and the former The Bear writer allegedly removed from
a train after a complaint from a white passenger, and
according to Alex O'Keefe, he says he was targeted and
handcuffed after an elderly woman complained about how he was
sitting on the train.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
Shins, you are a target no matter what you do.
Speaker 8 (06:03):
You can just be sitting on a train when the
video with the video I saw when he when it
came on, he was, he was there and the cops
were already over top of him. So you know they'll say, well,
we don't know what happened before then. But no matter
what you do, you're always gonna be a target.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
Being in America while black, you were perceived as guilty
even when you are not. But I don't mean on haller,
me and that old lady would have to square up
like we. I'm like, no, no, when you get off
this train, you're gonna have to call him back. You're
gonna have to call him back.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
She She channeled her inner Samuel L.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Jackson and was like, I'm tired of all these n
words on the mother fing train.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Folks.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
We have a great Wednesday, Happy hump Day two. You
have a Wednesday, great Wednesday show for you. Today we
will be discussing Wells Fargo and how they were doing
fake interviews. What do we mean by that? We mean
just that fake interviews. So stay tuned with us. It
(07:05):
is the Morning Experience on Wednesday. And don't forget this
is a cheesy, get busy Wednesday as well. He'll let
us know what is in the top ten coming up
in the next hour.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
So stay tuned.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
This is the Morning Experience on let one. Oh sis,
this is the Morning Experience, folks. Thank you for joining
us on this Wednesday. And our main story for today
also comes from the Brio and Wells Fargo. They are
to settle a lawsuit alleging they held fake interviews as
(07:39):
part of DEI hiring initiatives, and the bank has denied
all planes but has to settle in principle over the
accusations of sham hiring practices. Now, I felt as though
that like this was a thing because there were a
couple of times immediately after the pandemic, it just felt
(07:59):
like this isn't a real position, and I felt like
that time and time for a short amount of time,
but still felt like that least.
Speaker 7 (08:09):
And I think now we're seeing a lot more of that,
where there's a lot of fake roles out there that
they're never gonna hire for and they're just kind of
saving face. The issue with like with Wells Fargo, is
that they have a history of doing some really bad stuff.
So remember when they were opening up those fake bank accounts,
(08:31):
they also were charging people with these sham fees. Like
Wells Fargo is always in the mix of something illegal
and something bad. When it goes back to employment and jobs,
when all the people are saying that the Civil Rights
Act was bad, this is what we mean when black
people cannot get the same type of deal that white
(08:53):
people get, no matter the credentials. We could be more credentialed,
and now you're hiring or you're interviewing for a job
that doesn't exist just because So how can you be
against the I when clearly it doesn't work, especially not
for black people.
Speaker 8 (09:10):
I feel like it's it's this is something that's been
going on for a long time and it's just starting
to get a lot more exposed. And one thing that
comes to the top of my head with this is
the Rooney rule in the NFL, where all teams are
required to interview a person of color for a head
coaching position. You have to and nine times out of
(09:33):
ten that'll be the first person they interview, and that
interview will go buy real fast.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
So it's like.
Speaker 8 (09:39):
People have been trying to beat the system for a
long time. But we're qualified and we're out there, but
we just need we just need the shot, We need
the opportunity. And if you're just setting us up for
a position that's not going to exist, I mean, what else,
what else are we going to do?
Speaker 5 (09:55):
What else are we going to do?
Speaker 8 (09:56):
Because you have to go, you have to take it.
You want to get in that position, and then you
go when you do that interview, and it's it's a
waste of your time. You're just there as a as
a prop and as a statistic.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
And I'm glad you brought up that route, that Rooney rule,
because that is that that is a perfect example here
because we saw the owners, uh they they circumvented that
Rooney rule by having these sham interviews, like they already
had their person intel, they already knew who they were hiring,
and and they were having these sham interviews. And and
(10:29):
it was pointed out when when Brian Flores was going
for the head coaching job for the New York Giants
and then and and then it was Bill Belichick that
told him that, oh you got the job, You got
the job. And then he texted them back and was like,
oh man, they're going with the other Brian, not you.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
And this was even before Brian Flores even interviewed for
the job.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
So it was like, how how so yeah, yeah, I
feel as though that Wells Fargo did a rendition of
this least.
Speaker 7 (11:01):
For sure. And like I said, Wells Fargo is a
terrible come Like when you look at the history of
Wells Fargo and where the money came from, where the
money reside, you will find out that Wells Fargo is
a terrible institution. However, we will continue to see this,
We will continue to see black people being exploited, and
we will continue to see how black people are pushed
(11:22):
out because especially under this regime, that is the goal.
It is to push black people out to a point
where they are in a situation of extreme need so
that they can give us whatever they want to give us.
And that is where we are headed, and that is
where we are going if we allow it. If the
Jimmy Kimmel thing should have shown you anything, it's that
white people can hold their money and white people can
(11:44):
stand behind things that they want to. So if they're
telling you that I can't stand behind your practice and
I can't withhold my money, they are lying to you.
Wells Fargo is a bank. You can move your money.
Speaker 8 (11:56):
Yeah, Yeah, that's good, and that's what you have we
have to start doing. We have to start knowing the
history of these banks. We have to start knowing the
history of where we're putting our money into and what
they believe in. We have to just start paying attention because,
like you said, the power is out there. And we
(12:16):
saw how Jimmy kimmeill was getting back on the air,
so the power is definitely out there.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
So where's that when we need it?
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Yeah, folks, stay with us. There is much more to discuss.
This is the Morning Experience, and let want to say
this is the Morning Experience and thank you for joining
us on this Wednesday. We are talking about this lawsuit
and Wells Fargo, and according to the lawsuit filed in
(12:43):
September of twenty twenty two, the plaintiffs alleged that between
February twenty twenty one and June twenty twenty two, Wells
Fargo effectively held big diversity higher interviews for jobs that
were already taken. Wells Fargo previously set a mandate that
half of all jobs in the United States paying one
hundred thousand dollars or more, we'll go to people from
(13:04):
diverse and or underrepresented groups, racial or ethnic groups, women,
veterans groups, and people with disabilities on the planes exclaimed
that while job interviews were held, they were all shams
as well as Fargo had no intention of filling those
jobs with diverse candidate shits.
Speaker 8 (13:24):
And again, you're you're you're in a damned if you do,
damned if you don't type of situation, because when you go,
you know you're wasting your time if you don't go.
And I'll be like, well, we have these opportunities out
there and they're not applying for them, and then then
we're looked at us.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
We just want to be lazy and we don't want it.
So it's like, what do you do?
Speaker 2 (13:44):
What do you?
Speaker 5 (13:44):
What do you does?
Speaker 8 (13:46):
And we have to have some some type of way
where where we fight back somehow because this has been
going on forever and again with this social media, with
the internet just out there, it's just like it's just
a light shine on it.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
But this has been going on for.
Speaker 7 (14:01):
You're absolutely right because when we look at like resumes
and black names, there have been countless studies that have
been done when people will change their name and then
they would get a call back because they thought that
the person was white. We have seen this happen repeatedly
and it doesn't appear that there's anything that's changing it.
With AI, we thought that that would give us a
(14:22):
leg up and to change things a bit, and then
we saw that with Amazon when they first had this
new shift in the appin tracking systems, it kicked out
all the women. It's like, we cannot get a system
in hiring and that works. And the reason why is
because you know, if you've access to money, if you
have access to opportunities, if you can grow well, you
(14:43):
can get a better house, you can change where your
kids go to school, you can actually change things. And
Lord Let's not look at the numbers with not just
getting in the door but moving up. Look at the
amount of black people they get stuck and lower to
mid management and never move. Look at all the fortune
five hundred CEOs. You need to tell me there are
no black people that can sit in those seats. You
(15:06):
cannot tell me that all of this stuff is by design.
And if we don't figure out a system that actually
works for hiring, because the hiring system been broke. I
don't know if you know it, but the resume was
like popularized in the nineteen thirties or something like that.
We need to find a system that works. And also
we need to give rid of all the races to
swipe people.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
I don't know how, but we need to do that.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
Let's start there.
Speaker 8 (15:28):
Start there first, exactly, yeah, yeah, and then shiz on
the plaintiffs.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
They claimed that the job interviews that were held again
were shams. And then in September twenty twenty two, the
SEC also raised concerns about the bank's hiring practices. But
you know, when this new regime came in, those are
investigations somehow just signed.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
And would you expect anything else different now? Uh?
Speaker 8 (16:02):
And and and again these these positions are already filled.
These positions are fake positions. These positions are positions that
are just in the end, it's a it's a business,
and it's a game. You'll get Well, we had this
many black applicants, supply we had this many black applicants interview,
and it is you are statistic at that point, and
it's like, where do you how do you decipher what's
(16:24):
real and what's what's a good opportunity for you or
what's just Hey, I'm I'm I'm the fifth black guy
on the list. So let me get in there and
just go ahead and I can. I can give them
my best biel, come in with my best outfit on
and everything, and no matter what I say, it's it's
not going to do anything.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
And that's discouraging.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
And then least, even with this initiative in place, Wells
Fargo only filled about forty six percent of those positions
that they planned on fulfilling with with those DEI higher
So it doesn't even seem like they were even.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Trying that.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
They were never going to hire those people. They were
never going to fill those jobs or those roles. That
was never the point. And I want people to know that.
And also when all of those black people out there
that said Biden don't do nothing for black people who
stopped the what? Who stopped the investigations? So Biden wasn't
doing what. And one day we'll have the conversation abou
Kamla Hair's strategy about these interviews. But I want you
(17:23):
all to go out and read her book because it
will make a lot of sense.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Uh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah that that will get a
glowing endorsement from me as well.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
I want to read that book as well. I went
to tea. I went the tea. Folks, stay with us.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
We got some more music and then some more information
after this. This is The Morning Experience on one six.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
This is the Morning Experience. Thank you for joining us
on this Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
If you happen to miss this show or any other show,
or if you want to dig into archives, because we've
been doing this thing since before Juneteenth, David, if you
want to hear some of.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
The older shows, shiz, why can the good folks do?
Speaker 8 (18:10):
Please check us out Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and iHeartRadio.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
The Morning Experience. We are there and we got everything
that you're looking for.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
And if you want to join us on the Gram, Lisa,
tell the folks what to do.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
Make sure you follow ed Doug because were black da
Morning Experience on Instagram and you can see all the
lovely posts and upcoming events that we may have.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Yes, yes, indeed, and the upcoming announcements. We got some announcements, man,
we got some announcements coming up. The Morning Team, the
Morning Crew, the Morning Experience is coming to an area
near you.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
So yeah, stay tuned for that. So I'm talking more.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
About Wells Fargo and them not fulfilling these positions, shitz,
look like you said, you know, are are we surprised?
Speaker 3 (19:10):
But the thing is here like it's a bank. We
should be surprised.
Speaker 8 (19:13):
Right again, as Least pointed out, there's a history with
Wells Fargo and the banks. The banks in the end,
they have your money there. You have the power of
those banks. And when we the sooner we realize that
the better off will be the sooner we just stopped
(19:34):
complaining about everything. Oh man, I got this bank and
they charged me three dollars here, and then if I
do an outside take your money out of there. Let
them know that you don't like that these banks are
powered by you. So the least you can do. We
have to speak up and actually say something.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
We absolutely need to say something. And like going back
to something that I said before the break about people
saying that Joe Biden didn't do anything for black people,
this shows that his administration did. When people say that,
it's just that you don't know what's happening, and you
don't know that it's happening until it's gone, and that
is how we got here. I need people to check
(20:11):
in to really look at what's happening and what's going
on in the world so that you know about stuff
like this, because there's a lot of people that interview
with Wells Fargo and may have no clue that this
actually happened to them, so they wouldn't be able to
come in and say, hey, I had a sham interview,
because I don't know how many times have you two
sat down at an interview and felt like it was
a sham interview but didn't have the experience or the
(20:34):
information to back it up.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Yeah, and to that point, like there's been times in
sham interviews that I'm like, this interview feels like a sham,
But like I would think to myself, like there's no
such thing as no sham interview. Nobody's want to waste
their time on a sham interview. We'll talk about that
on the other side of the break, because apparently they do. Folks,
this is the Morning Experience on one six. Thank you
(21:01):
for joining us on the Morning Experience on this home day.
So we're now talking about fake interviews and and shiz
you said that you you have had fake interviews before.
Speaker 8 (21:15):
I feel like I've had the fagus before where you
go and and you put your best foot forward and
you never get that call back, and it always feels
like it because you don't just not get a call back.
You don't get here any emails, you don't when you
call up there, you don't. You don't get any responses
from anybody. It's just like, like, what did I do wrong?
(21:36):
At least give me some some some feedback as to
what I said wrong or you know what I mean,
or why you didn't go this way? And it's like
you know that you were just there because again, like
I said, this, this is a game.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
This is a big game, and this is all about money.
Speaker 8 (21:51):
And when they show that they brought your your black
ass in there for an interview that saw all they
need the show is that, yeah, we're bringing them out.
They're just not qualified enough. Is no, you just you
didn't have a position for me.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
That's what it is.
Speaker 7 (22:05):
And the performativeness of it all is it's so insulting.
Like I've gone on an interview. I was in there
because on paper lethal look white. It's like okay, and
then in comments like oh she's a negroid, Like it
just changes the whole conversation. You're in there for like
five minutes and it's like thank you, Like how do
(22:27):
you learn anything in five minutes?
Speaker 5 (22:30):
Right?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
There was there was this issue back home with our
local newspaper and the diversity and no reporters were reporters
of color.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
So like, uh, they contacted me. I was living in Philly.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Some community members contacted me and was like, Hey, you
should go to the newspaper and apply for this job.
We're going to advocate for you. Did that, had a
six hour interview with them, and they ended up not
hiring me because they said, we don't know where to
place you. You're so skillful, we don't know where to
place you. And and now that I'm seeing this, I'm
(23:07):
like that was a six hour sham interview.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
Yep.
Speaker 7 (23:13):
Absolutely, And that's crazy that they they think so low
of black people that they don't even realize that they're
wasting your time. The most valuable thing you have is
your time. Don't waste my time, right, I can't get
that back. I can make more money. I can't get
my time back, right, And they.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
Figure you're so desperate for it, like you you they
would jump at the opportunity to work for our organization,
So just give them the opportunity. And it's just like
you're you're putting You're putting your all out there. Like
some of these positions that they that they're fake offering
are are are our generation changing positions where you think,
like nobody in my family's made this kind of money before,
(23:52):
and you go out there and you do everything, and
it's like from jump, they have no interest in you.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
At the end of it, you're like, you need with
another copy of my resume. Nah, we're good, We'll get
in contact with you and go ahead and get up
out of there.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Right, And just imagine for that time period what it
did for my mental health. Like I went through the
six hour interview and they're like, you know, there's nowhere
that that we could place you. I took that personal
for a couple of years until I was like, you
know what, that doesn't make any sense. That doesn't make
any sense at all. So, folks, we got our Microwave
(24:26):
News Part two coming up at the beginning of our
next hour, So stay with us as we bring you
this information.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
This is LIT one o six. This is LIT one
oh six.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Thank you for joining us on the Morning Experience. So racism, bias, segregation,
and fake jobs. This is all stuff that we have
to deal with as as Black Americans least. I mean
this this list is kind of getting exhaustive or it's
exhausting even reading.
Speaker 7 (24:58):
The list, it keeps getting longer, and I'm like, come
on now, they just it keeps stacking against us. Mind you,
I've had some really bad interviews and I was like, whoa,
I don't know how I did that. But so all
of them not racism.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Sometimes you just really do suck.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
Sometimes you just suck, like oh, striking out at an interview.
Speaker 8 (25:24):
Have you like, how many times have you gave yourself
like up for an interview and you feel like you
went in there and you prepared and then when when
you're in the middle of interview, You're like, I am
not going to get this job.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
I don't even want to continue this stuff.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Yo.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
That's that's that's funny because that's one of the reasons
why I stopped applying for like communication manager, communication director
jobs and everything, because like I'm in there and the
questions that they're asking me, I'm just like I don't
I don't know this. I'm about to be as my
way through this and like I'm I'm never going to
(26:00):
want to be a communication manager. Hang my head on that,
because like no, no, no, you know. But but we're
also this this this isn't that though, like like we're
not talking about you know, bon bonding interviews, which that
should be a topic for Tuesday. But this is one
of those things least where like we're going in we
(26:22):
got the credentials, we got the background, we got the knowledge.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
We may even know some people in there and still
don't get it.
Speaker 7 (26:30):
Oh for sure. And not only do we have great
interviews and we have all the experience and we do
really well in the interview, it's like they know that
we're more qualified than the person that they picked. Yeah,
it is a deliberate slap in our faces without us knowing,
and I think should said something. I think feedback. I
(26:50):
think we as the people applying. I think it should
be mandatory that if you don't get a job, they
bring you in, they interview you, they should offer you
you feedback and tell you why they did not select you.
I've had companies who have called me back because I
built a rapport with the recruiter and she was like,
you know, they really respected me, and they told me why.
(27:10):
But most of the time that's not what happens. And
I think that's part of the problem or the solution.
We they owe us the feedback.
Speaker 8 (27:20):
Yeah, they figured they put on the charade long enough
to get you in there for their interview. They're like,
we're not gonna keep playing this now we got we
got you in here for the interview. You're already a statistic.
We're not going to give you a call back at all.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
YO. Just fake fake interviews. It's just mind boggling to
me because.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
It just feels like doesn't it take more time to
do a fake interview versus doing an actual interview and
field that position Like a fake interview just seems like
it's just the waste of like people's time.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
In the organization, Like you're not working towards anything. But folks,
we got our top ten with hitsy get busy coming
up next, Shiz what you got for us?
Speaker 5 (28:04):
Listen?
Speaker 8 (28:04):
I wanna I want to I want to play a
little game with our audience and with uh, with y'all,
and I just want to see. I know, it's levels,
it's levels the blackness. I want to see how black
black our audience and y'all are. We got we got
this Top ten is going to be about levels of
blackness and do you fit the criteria?
Speaker 5 (28:24):
WHOA?
Speaker 3 (28:26):
All right? All right, so folks stay tuned. Will your
black card be revoked?
Speaker 8 (28:32):
This is lit, Welcome back to the Morning Experience. It
is Wednesday, and it is time for an all new
Top ten. I feel as as black folks, we all,
we all live the same lives. When you talk to people,
you're like, man.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
I did that too.
Speaker 8 (28:50):
I thought that was exclusive to me, and it just
gets exposed that you're living the same life as every
other black person. But we all know that there are
levels to being black. Uh you know that if you
if you laugh someone tells the jokes, you see something funny.
If you assault the person or you run away and laughter,
that is a level of blackness. And this week we
(29:10):
are going I want to keep score, keep keep get
your scorecards out. I want to see exactly what level
of black are you right now?
Speaker 5 (29:18):
A number ten? Number ten.
Speaker 8 (29:21):
If you couldn't just pour a bowl of sugar smacks
or raisin brand because you had to do the inspection.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
First, whatever, please give yourself a point.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Oh man, Ollie had to do it once though.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
It's like I got the one black friend, like a
shout out.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Shot, shout out to my uncle, like he he lived
in the trenches of North Philly, I mean the trenches.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
And like that was the first time that I saw
roaches in refrigerator.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
Oh that was it. That trenches, trenches.
Speaker 7 (30:03):
He got the radioactive roaches. That's a whole other type
of black roaches.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
Fancy roaches.
Speaker 7 (30:14):
The roaches got a condition.
Speaker 8 (30:18):
This way, and look and look if if that applies,
give yourself another point. If you currently still take bowls
out of the bowls or silverware out of the cabinets,
or George, and you give them a little rints even
if just because you don't know if anything might have
crawled on them.
Speaker 5 (30:32):
That is something black, and you should add another point to.
Speaker 7 (30:35):
Your score, or you're dirty, like I mean, you know,
we gotta go.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
It's just habit. It's just habit. We grew up rough.
We grew up rough.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
But sometimes sometimes them bulls dutiesmell like cabinets.
Speaker 8 (30:53):
And and hot order after that, because you just ran
some hot order and switched it around and then dumped.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
It out.
Speaker 7 (31:00):
Cabinet. Wait a minute, we're gonna have to have a
whole conversation on what does cabinet smell like?
Speaker 5 (31:06):
What that perfect, perfect description for it? Number nine. We
all have drunk drawers.
Speaker 8 (31:17):
But if you have old Soy sauce packets and Popeye's
honey packets all that are still stuck together and you
refuse to throw them out, add another point to your score.
Speaker 7 (31:28):
I think I'm too black because they don't last in
my house. I mean, I be using.
Speaker 5 (31:35):
Would you be making what you using them? Packets? And
there I would. I was like, we wear out of honey.
Speaker 8 (31:41):
One day I said, go grab we got a bunch
of packets, and they went in there and grabbed and
it was thirteen of them stuck together.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Yeah, same same.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Listen. Number eight, This gold black people.
Speaker 8 (31:58):
If if you got a drawer cabinet dedicated to plastic
bags that you get from the store.
Speaker 5 (32:03):
Add another point to your black card.
Speaker 8 (32:07):
And if you use these saved plastic bags for anything
from shaking up the flour and the chicken or rain bonnet,
or even if you just go ghetto enough and get
on the airplane with your clothes inside of a plastic bag,
give yourself two points.
Speaker 7 (32:21):
Yeah. And if you still got because I live in
Maryland and certain places in a Maryland you can't have
plastic bags. So if you still have that, you a G.
Like you a G. If you were poring that commitment
and they don't even give you bags, shout out to you.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
I feel attacked America.
Speaker 5 (32:38):
Just black. You don't have to use everybody else is
attacking you. Brother. You just realizing that you're black, and
you just got to realize that you're super black. You
super black. You're blacker than you thought you were.
Speaker 8 (32:48):
Right at number seven, if you ever got beat or
on punishment for not thawing out the chicken, you are
extremely black and you need to double your points. This
is if you thought that you were getting over by
trying to run some hot water or over top of
it when you heard your mom pulling up and you
(33:08):
tried to run the hot water over it.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
It didn't work, But double your points if you ever
did that before.
Speaker 7 (33:13):
It didn't but I put it in the microwaves.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
Sometimes don't tell nobody not ibolical.
Speaker 8 (33:19):
That's nominella all over the microwave, Ladies and gentlemen. That
was the beginning of our top ten. We will be
right back after these messages. In these songs, you were
listening to The Morning Experience on Lit one O six.
(33:46):
Welcome back. It is the Morning Experience. It is Lit
one O six and it is Wednesday. So you know
we are in the middle of our top ten. We
are keeping score to see exactly what level of black
you are. We are at number six and number six
if you relate to the to the memes and the
(34:08):
posts about black people with the little battery on the
smoke detector, but you never actually go and change yours
when you hear it beeping. Add a point to your
sports card. Because I hear a lot of people joke
about it and then you go to their house. It's
just it's always going off. You got to actually change
that battery. It does come out.
Speaker 5 (34:26):
It does change.
Speaker 7 (34:28):
And see this is where my disability saves me, because
I can't. I cannot sit there and listen to that
beeB I would start taking other people houses. I beat
the one I beat no, no, no, no, not today,
and and and I.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Went to white school, so like we were, we were
beat in the head with with replacing U those those
batteries like they showed us, you know, kid plays and everything,
people getting burned up in houses, sleep and everything. They
even had like a little fake house they would bring
to our school that would catch on fire and everything.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
We had to crawl out like like.
Speaker 7 (35:06):
They bear school yees.
Speaker 5 (35:11):
That is that is torture. You shouldn't.
Speaker 8 (35:13):
This could be you if you don't change that beeping
battery and just your kids on fire like terminator to judgment.
Speaker 5 (35:20):
You just see people burning up.
Speaker 9 (35:22):
Yeaham, but look at them now, yeah yeah you we
we've been doing this. We've been doing this since before Juneteenth.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
And you never heard of be.
Speaker 7 (35:36):
Silence. It worked.
Speaker 5 (35:39):
Let me make sure. I don't know.
Speaker 8 (35:40):
I might have heard one of my background I think
I know it's one in the basement for sure, but
it's it's too far back.
Speaker 5 (35:45):
I ain't. I just know when they don't beat them
where I know it's dead. Number five.
Speaker 8 (35:55):
If you give a disclaimer to people before you watch
a movie because you know you're gonna say every single word,
especially if you're watching The Temptations five heart Beats or
anything like that, give yourself another point because we are
good for saying word for word of the whole entire movie.
Speaker 7 (36:13):
People be doing it.
Speaker 5 (36:15):
I do that. Don't don't let five Heartbeats come on,
word for every I mean everything.
Speaker 7 (36:24):
She is we about to fight because it ain't no.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Way, no.
Speaker 8 (36:30):
You gotta you gotta see a movie that I ain't
never saw before and then we could.
Speaker 5 (36:33):
I ain't gotta talk through you know what it is.
Speaker 7 (36:36):
It is because we grew up with the Boulegs and
we are so used to people talking in the film.
It's like it's like black noise, you know what.
Speaker 8 (36:44):
You think that's how you're supposed to watch a movie.
You just be like, oh, well they were talking in
the movie that I had, So.
Speaker 7 (36:50):
That's how it's supposed to be.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
At number four, this this, this is black People.
Speaker 8 (36:59):
And if you listen to songs and you like the
ad libs or the songs more than the actual song,
this is this. This is Drew Hill one hundred percent,
especially when Beauty comes on, and Beauty is an amazing song.
Speaker 5 (37:11):
I love Beauty. I played that for my wife.
Speaker 8 (37:13):
But listen at the end of the song, when Cisco
is going on for about seventeen minutes of just ad libs.
Speaker 5 (37:19):
He is the best part of the song.
Speaker 7 (37:21):
For real facts, all Drew Hill songs are You're right
all in all this because even the thong song, the
best part of that song where the ad lives.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
Cisco. Cisco sangs Cisco. I mean the rent is due
every time Cisco sangs.
Speaker 7 (37:40):
Out out the battlemore again.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's my favorite group.
Speaker 5 (37:47):
Listen Cisco.
Speaker 8 (37:49):
I will sit there and you know exactly where they
drop at and the song. You can pick up the
song in the middle and just come on and.
Speaker 5 (37:55):
Bet he is her day. You gotta go and start singing.
You feel like you're there with them. I steal it.
Speaker 8 (38:03):
Number three, Black Church folks, this is this is if
if you didn't, if you didn't take a mark before,
go ahead and finish the sentence.
Speaker 5 (38:11):
God is good.
Speaker 9 (38:12):
Oh no, no, you didn't all the time and all
the time, God, give yourself a point because.
Speaker 8 (38:24):
That was beat into your head, like don't do drugs
that into your head, and you got to finish it
when somebody say you can't just be quiet.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
Right right right, because that's disrespectful. If you don't finish it,
you know you might miss.
Speaker 7 (38:43):
Oh the rapture came. I guess we didn't make it.
Speaker 5 (38:48):
That's because you didn't say how good God was.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
Mark safe? Mark safe from the rapture?
Speaker 5 (38:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (38:57):
Right, you the last, the last meme maker number two,
Black folks, we do this all the time. I am
guilty of this. If you make sure that you start
that song over once you get to the top of
the block or your destination. If you got to start
the song over so everybody can hear it from the beginning,
you need to add a.
Speaker 5 (39:16):
Point to your scorecard. I was good for doing this.
I wanted to make sure that you heard all of
Jadakiss's verse and not just some of it.
Speaker 7 (39:24):
Come on, sit over here with us. You you on
the autism bus with us? Come on, that's autism.
Speaker 5 (39:36):
I prefer to look at it as a special needs.
Speaker 7 (39:42):
It's okay, I'm on the bus. We can be on
the bus to Gove like.
Speaker 5 (39:46):
Come on, like, y'all ain't hear what he just said, y'ah,
ain't just hear what he just said about fifty. I'm
gonna run that back.
Speaker 8 (39:56):
Well, ladies, gentlemen, that was all. That was most of
our top ten. We will have number one after this break.
Please come back, after this music and after these messages.
It is the morning experience. It is lit one oh six.
Speaker 5 (40:13):
What's good.
Speaker 8 (40:13):
It is the morning Experience. It is our top ten.
It's Wednesday. So we have gone through our top ten
of trying to figure out our level of blackness. I
am scoring off the charts right now. No scantron sheet needed,
but we are at number one and number one. Holidays
are coming up. You got turkey for Thanksgiving and holiday
(40:37):
hams and all the.
Speaker 5 (40:37):
Other good stuff. But give yourself two points right here.
Speaker 8 (40:41):
If the mac and cheese will make or break the
whole entire dinner, everything could be good. But if somebody
messes up that mac and cheese and you have an
attitude about it, give yourself two points.
Speaker 7 (40:55):
Free. That's ale.
Speaker 5 (40:57):
Mac and cheese is the start of the show.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
Least lease.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
I went to two AM project, went the two AM Project,
and I did not know that they are not created equal.
The one on Charles Street is so much better than
the one in thousand and talking about the mac and
cheese so different, and I was so I.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
Almost flipped the table because I was so upset at
that mac and cheese.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
I was like, how are y'all so different? And y'all
are like within twenty miles of each other? I almost
flipped the table.
Speaker 3 (41:35):
Yes, is yes, I believe.
Speaker 5 (41:37):
I believe you.
Speaker 7 (41:38):
Yeah, you don't seed it different than the areas, though,
like you, come on.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
Markie, I would have thought that the cook would have
been the same.
Speaker 5 (41:50):
They got some white guy named rona mac and cheese.
It's like, what the hell is this mac and cheese
started in Italy?
Speaker 7 (42:02):
Yeah, the noodle part geeze, not right. It's just it
ain't yo yo.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
Even even the shrimp was prepared different. I was so upset,
and y'all know I love shrimp, so I was so.
Speaker 5 (42:18):
He's like, well, at least y'all got some shrimp on
a stick.
Speaker 7 (42:23):
And I want y'all to know he's so much for
this man. It's pink okay, so.
Speaker 5 (42:30):
Much iodine, so much.
Speaker 8 (42:35):
But please hit us up on on Instagram at the
morning experience. Hit me up on all platforms at Chizzy,
get busy and let me know what your score was.
If you scored eight or higher, you are in high
Negro levels. If you scored about US five to a seven,
you're still black. But you you ain't you You wasn't
(42:57):
you wasn't in the trenches. And if you score below that,
get your black card.
Speaker 5 (43:03):
Look.
Speaker 8 (43:03):
But this has been the top ten on The Morning Experience, y'all.
Make sure you check us out again on all platforms Spotify, iHeartRadio,
and Apple Podcasts.
Speaker 5 (43:17):
We are on there the Morning Experience. It is LIT
one six.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
This is The Morning Experience, and thank you for joining us, folks,
and thank you for staying with us.
Speaker 3 (43:28):
Man that top ten.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
If you want to hear just just the top ten,
we have those available as well, where it's just the
top ten anywhere you listen to your podcast. So for today,
for what you're watching Wednesday, we are talking about Alien
Earth Season one, which is currently airing on Fax. And
(43:54):
when a mysterious space vessel crash lands on Earth, Wendy
and a ragtag group of tech the soldiers make a
faithful discovery that puts them face to face with the
planet's greatest threat. Now this is just an extension of
those old school alien films at lease, and like, I
(44:14):
really like how they capture those old school films but
bring it in, you know, the new age in twenty
twenty five.
Speaker 7 (44:25):
I'm glad that they're like, I hate remakes. I'm not
even gonna hold you. I'm not a big remake girl.
I don't know how they replace Sigurney Weaver, Like, I
don't know why you replace. But I might have to
check it out, though, because I really liked the Alien
the movie, and if you're saying that this is good,
I might have to check it out. But I think
if they are going to make a nineteen eighties film,
(44:46):
I would like to see a Wall Street right, Like,
especially with today's time, let's turn that into a series.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (44:54):
That's a good idea. Shit.
Speaker 8 (44:57):
I think the issue is is that they're like, we
already have people who aren't as creative, so they're like,
let me just double back on something. But now they're like, cool,
we got all this technology is where we can make
those scenes look a lot different than what they look like.
And it's like, you watch the show and I'm hoping,
I'm hoping. I watched this show and the acting is
on point and everything like that. But we get a Sharknado,
(45:23):
It'll just be some cool effects with some horrible actings.
So I'm hoping that they do this justice because Aliens.
Aliens was a good series and I hope they don't
mess that one up.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
Yeah, yeah, this is this is one of those things
where where it's like the first the first five, five
or six episodes were spot on. But you know, TV
can disappoint you sometimes. Our series can uh bate and
switch you at times, be so good at the beginning
(45:58):
and then just fall off.
Speaker 3 (46:00):
I'm looking at you, Ozarks.
Speaker 2 (46:02):
But but but yeah, folks, again, folks, thank you for
joining us for the morning experience on this home day.

How you feeling?
Speaker 5 (03:19):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (03:20):
Happy Wednesday. We made it to the middle of the week.
It is hump day. Please please please enjoy this day.
It is going to be a great Wednesday.
Speaker 7 (03:30):
I don't know. I don't know because I'm a Ravens fan.
I'm recovering. I might be looking for a new team,
putting in applications because I'm like Derek, really, really, Derek,
I'm dropping balls now.
Speaker 8 (03:42):
If you don't want your running back fumbling all on
the game line, come on over to the commanders.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
All the hills that he's running, folks. This is the
Morning Experience.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
And we beginning the show with the Microwave News giving
you these headline Hot and Ready. And our first story
comes from ABC seven and the Pentagon is stepping up
media restrictions and they are now requiring approval before reporting
on military business shiz.
Speaker 8 (04:18):
And this is for classified and unclassified information coming out,
So it's just a censer. You have to write and
get permission to put any stories, any type of thing.
If that's not directing the narrative, I don't know what is.
Speaker 7 (04:34):
Absolutely and if the Pentagon can restrict unclassified information, like, really,
what is free press? And at the end of the day,
this is not about national security. This is about changing
the narrative about what's happening.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Right right Indeed, indeed, our second story comes from the
Grioh and Mackenzie Scott gives seventy million to the United
Negro College Fund to financially strengthen HBCUs. Uh lease, this
is some good stuff.
Speaker 7 (05:02):
You're right, Mackenzie the only only bezos I like because
she stayed giving money away to HBCUs and other black initiatives.
So shout out to McKenzie.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Yeah, and this is what's needed. This is this.
Speaker 8 (05:16):
I hope this helps, not even just helps, I hope this.
This puts these these HBCUs on another level and puts
them in the conversations that they weren't in before.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
This is absolutely needed. So shout out to McKenzie.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And I'm looking to see what Morgan
State does with this.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Where the money reside, Where the money reside? Uh uh.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
And our final story also comes from the Grill dot
Com and the former The Bear writer allegedly removed from
a train after a complaint from a white passenger, and
according to Alex O'Keefe, he says he was targeted and
handcuffed after an elderly woman complained about how he was
sitting on the train.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
Shins, you are a target no matter what you do.
Speaker 8 (06:03):
You can just be sitting on a train when the
video with the video I saw when he when it
came on, he was, he was there and the cops
were already over top of him. So you know they'll say, well,
we don't know what happened before then. But no matter
what you do, you're always gonna be a target.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
Being in America while black, you were perceived as guilty
even when you are not. But I don't mean on haller,
me and that old lady would have to square up
like we. I'm like, no, no, when you get off
this train, you're gonna have to call him back. You're
gonna have to call him back.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
She She channeled her inner Samuel L.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Jackson and was like, I'm tired of all these n
words on the mother fing train.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Folks.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
We have a great Wednesday, Happy hump Day two. You
have a Wednesday, great Wednesday show for you. Today we
will be discussing Wells Fargo and how they were doing
fake interviews. What do we mean by that? We mean
just that fake interviews. So stay tuned with us. It
(07:05):
is the Morning Experience on Wednesday. And don't forget this
is a cheesy, get busy Wednesday as well. He'll let
us know what is in the top ten coming up
in the next hour.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
So stay tuned.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
This is the Morning Experience on let one. Oh sis,
this is the Morning Experience, folks. Thank you for joining
us on this Wednesday. And our main story for today
also comes from the Brio and Wells Fargo. They are
to settle a lawsuit alleging they held fake interviews as
(07:39):
part of DEI hiring initiatives, and the bank has denied
all planes but has to settle in principle over the
accusations of sham hiring practices. Now, I felt as though
that like this was a thing because there were a
couple of times immediately after the pandemic, it just felt
(07:59):
like this isn't a real position, and I felt like
that time and time for a short amount of time,
but still felt like that least.
Speaker 7 (08:09):
And I think now we're seeing a lot more of that,
where there's a lot of fake roles out there that
they're never gonna hire for and they're just kind of
saving face. The issue with like with Wells Fargo, is
that they have a history of doing some really bad stuff.
So remember when they were opening up those fake bank accounts,
(08:31):
they also were charging people with these sham fees. Like
Wells Fargo is always in the mix of something illegal
and something bad. When it goes back to employment and jobs,
when all the people are saying that the Civil Rights
Act was bad, this is what we mean when black
people cannot get the same type of deal that white
(08:53):
people get, no matter the credentials. We could be more credentialed,
and now you're hiring or you're interviewing for a job
that doesn't exist just because So how can you be
against the I when clearly it doesn't work, especially not
for black people.
Speaker 8 (09:10):
I feel like it's it's this is something that's been
going on for a long time and it's just starting
to get a lot more exposed. And one thing that
comes to the top of my head with this is
the Rooney rule in the NFL, where all teams are
required to interview a person of color for a head
coaching position. You have to and nine times out of
(09:33):
ten that'll be the first person they interview, and that
interview will go buy real fast.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
So it's like.
Speaker 8 (09:39):
People have been trying to beat the system for a
long time. But we're qualified and we're out there, but
we just need we just need the shot, We need
the opportunity. And if you're just setting us up for
a position that's not going to exist, I mean, what else,
what else are we going to do?
Speaker 5 (09:55):
What else are we going to do?
Speaker 8 (09:56):
Because you have to go, you have to take it.
You want to get in that position, and then you
go when you do that interview, and it's it's a
waste of your time. You're just there as a as
a prop and as a statistic.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
And I'm glad you brought up that route, that Rooney rule,
because that is that that is a perfect example here
because we saw the owners, uh they they circumvented that
Rooney rule by having these sham interviews, like they already
had their person intel, they already knew who they were hiring,
and and they were having these sham interviews. And and
(10:29):
it was pointed out when when Brian Flores was going
for the head coaching job for the New York Giants
and then and and then it was Bill Belichick that
told him that, oh you got the job, You got
the job. And then he texted them back and was like,
oh man, they're going with the other Brian, not you.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
And this was even before Brian Flores even interviewed for
the job.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
So it was like, how how so yeah, yeah, I
feel as though that Wells Fargo did a rendition of
this least.
Speaker 7 (11:01):
For sure. And like I said, Wells Fargo is a
terrible come Like when you look at the history of
Wells Fargo and where the money came from, where the
money reside, you will find out that Wells Fargo is
a terrible institution. However, we will continue to see this,
We will continue to see black people being exploited, and
we will continue to see how black people are pushed
(11:22):
out because especially under this regime, that is the goal.
It is to push black people out to a point
where they are in a situation of extreme need so
that they can give us whatever they want to give us.
And that is where we are headed, and that is
where we are going if we allow it. If the
Jimmy Kimmel thing should have shown you anything, it's that
white people can hold their money and white people can
(11:44):
stand behind things that they want to. So if they're
telling you that I can't stand behind your practice and
I can't withhold my money, they are lying to you.
Wells Fargo is a bank. You can move your money.
Speaker 8 (11:56):
Yeah, Yeah, that's good, and that's what you have we
have to start doing. We have to start knowing the
history of these banks. We have to start knowing the
history of where we're putting our money into and what
they believe in. We have to just start paying attention because,
like you said, the power is out there. And we
(12:16):
saw how Jimmy kimmeill was getting back on the air,
so the power is definitely out there.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
So where's that when we need it?
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Yeah, folks, stay with us. There is much more to discuss.
This is the Morning Experience, and let want to say
this is the Morning Experience and thank you for joining
us on this Wednesday. We are talking about this lawsuit
and Wells Fargo, and according to the lawsuit filed in
(12:43):
September of twenty twenty two, the plaintiffs alleged that between
February twenty twenty one and June twenty twenty two, Wells
Fargo effectively held big diversity higher interviews for jobs that
were already taken. Wells Fargo previously set a mandate that
half of all jobs in the United States paying one
hundred thousand dollars or more, we'll go to people from
(13:04):
diverse and or underrepresented groups, racial or ethnic groups, women,
veterans groups, and people with disabilities on the planes exclaimed
that while job interviews were held, they were all shams
as well as Fargo had no intention of filling those
jobs with diverse candidate shits.
Speaker 8 (13:24):
And again, you're you're you're in a damned if you do,
damned if you don't type of situation, because when you go,
you know you're wasting your time if you don't go.
And I'll be like, well, we have these opportunities out
there and they're not applying for them, and then then
we're looked at us.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
We just want to be lazy and we don't want it.
So it's like, what do you do?
Speaker 2 (13:44):
What do you?
Speaker 5 (13:44):
What do you does?
Speaker 8 (13:46):
And we have to have some some type of way
where where we fight back somehow because this has been
going on forever and again with this social media, with
the internet just out there, it's just like it's just
a light shine on it.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
But this has been going on for.
Speaker 7 (14:01):
You're absolutely right because when we look at like resumes
and black names, there have been countless studies that have
been done when people will change their name and then
they would get a call back because they thought that
the person was white. We have seen this happen repeatedly
and it doesn't appear that there's anything that's changing it.
With AI, we thought that that would give us a
(14:22):
leg up and to change things a bit, and then
we saw that with Amazon when they first had this
new shift in the appin tracking systems, it kicked out
all the women. It's like, we cannot get a system
in hiring and that works. And the reason why is
because you know, if you've access to money, if you
have access to opportunities, if you can grow well, you
(14:43):
can get a better house, you can change where your
kids go to school, you can actually change things. And
Lord Let's not look at the numbers with not just
getting in the door but moving up. Look at the
amount of black people they get stuck and lower to
mid management and never move. Look at all the fortune
five hundred CEOs. You need to tell me there are
no black people that can sit in those seats. You
(15:06):
cannot tell me that all of this stuff is by design.
And if we don't figure out a system that actually
works for hiring, because the hiring system been broke. I
don't know if you know it, but the resume was
like popularized in the nineteen thirties or something like that.
We need to find a system that works. And also
we need to give rid of all the races to
swipe people.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
I don't know how, but we need to do that.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
Let's start there.
Speaker 8 (15:28):
Start there first, exactly, yeah, yeah, and then shiz on
the plaintiffs.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
They claimed that the job interviews that were held again
were shams. And then in September twenty twenty two, the
SEC also raised concerns about the bank's hiring practices. But
you know, when this new regime came in, those are
investigations somehow just signed.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
And would you expect anything else different now? Uh?
Speaker 8 (16:02):
And and and again these these positions are already filled.
These positions are fake positions. These positions are positions that
are just in the end, it's a it's a business,
and it's a game. You'll get Well, we had this
many black applicants, supply we had this many black applicants interview,
and it is you are statistic at that point, and
it's like, where do you how do you decipher what's
(16:24):
real and what's what's a good opportunity for you or
what's just Hey, I'm I'm I'm the fifth black guy
on the list. So let me get in there and
just go ahead and I can. I can give them
my best biel, come in with my best outfit on
and everything, and no matter what I say, it's it's
not going to do anything.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
And that's discouraging.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
And then least, even with this initiative in place, Wells
Fargo only filled about forty six percent of those positions
that they planned on fulfilling with with those DEI higher
So it doesn't even seem like they were even.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Trying that.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
They were never going to hire those people. They were
never going to fill those jobs or those roles. That
was never the point. And I want people to know that.
And also when all of those black people out there
that said Biden don't do nothing for black people who
stopped the what? Who stopped the investigations? So Biden wasn't
doing what. And one day we'll have the conversation abou
Kamla Hair's strategy about these interviews. But I want you
(17:23):
all to go out and read her book because it
will make a lot of sense.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Uh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah that that will get a
glowing endorsement from me as well.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
I want to read that book as well. I went
to tea. I went the tea. Folks, stay with us.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
We got some more music and then some more information
after this. This is The Morning Experience on one six.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
This is the Morning Experience. Thank you for joining us
on this Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
If you happen to miss this show or any other show,
or if you want to dig into archives, because we've
been doing this thing since before Juneteenth, David, if you
want to hear some of.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
The older shows, shiz, why can the good folks do?
Speaker 8 (18:10):
Please check us out Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and iHeartRadio.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
The Morning Experience. We are there and we got everything
that you're looking for.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
And if you want to join us on the Gram, Lisa,
tell the folks what to do.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
Make sure you follow ed Doug because were black da
Morning Experience on Instagram and you can see all the
lovely posts and upcoming events that we may have.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Yes, yes, indeed, and the upcoming announcements. We got some announcements, man,
we got some announcements coming up. The Morning Team, the
Morning Crew, the Morning Experience is coming to an area
near you.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
So yeah, stay tuned for that. So I'm talking more.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
About Wells Fargo and them not fulfilling these positions, shitz,
look like you said, you know, are are we surprised?
Speaker 3 (19:10):
But the thing is here like it's a bank. We
should be surprised.
Speaker 8 (19:13):
Right again, as Least pointed out, there's a history with
Wells Fargo and the banks. The banks in the end,
they have your money there. You have the power of
those banks. And when we the sooner we realize that
the better off will be the sooner we just stopped
(19:34):
complaining about everything. Oh man, I got this bank and
they charged me three dollars here, and then if I
do an outside take your money out of there. Let
them know that you don't like that these banks are
powered by you. So the least you can do. We
have to speak up and actually say something.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
We absolutely need to say something. And like going back
to something that I said before the break about people
saying that Joe Biden didn't do anything for black people,
this shows that his administration did. When people say that,
it's just that you don't know what's happening, and you
don't know that it's happening until it's gone, and that
is how we got here. I need people to check
(20:11):
in to really look at what's happening and what's going
on in the world so that you know about stuff
like this, because there's a lot of people that interview
with Wells Fargo and may have no clue that this
actually happened to them, so they wouldn't be able to
come in and say, hey, I had a sham interview,
because I don't know how many times have you two
sat down at an interview and felt like it was
a sham interview but didn't have the experience or the
(20:34):
information to back it up.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Yeah, and to that point, like there's been times in
sham interviews that I'm like, this interview feels like a sham,
But like I would think to myself, like there's no
such thing as no sham interview. Nobody's want to waste
their time on a sham interview. We'll talk about that
on the other side of the break, because apparently they do. Folks,
this is the Morning Experience on one six. Thank you
(21:01):
for joining us on the Morning Experience on this home day.
So we're now talking about fake interviews and and shiz
you said that you you have had fake interviews before.
Speaker 8 (21:15):
I feel like I've had the fagus before where you
go and and you put your best foot forward and
you never get that call back, and it always feels
like it because you don't just not get a call back.
You don't get here any emails, you don't when you
call up there, you don't. You don't get any responses
from anybody. It's just like, like, what did I do wrong?
(21:36):
At least give me some some some feedback as to
what I said wrong or you know what I mean,
or why you didn't go this way? And it's like
you know that you were just there because again, like
I said, this, this is a game.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
This is a big game, and this is all about money.
Speaker 8 (21:51):
And when they show that they brought your your black
ass in there for an interview that saw all they
need the show is that, yeah, we're bringing them out.
They're just not qualified enough. Is no, you just you
didn't have a position for me.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
That's what it is.
Speaker 7 (22:05):
And the performativeness of it all is it's so insulting.
Like I've gone on an interview. I was in there
because on paper lethal look white. It's like okay, and
then in comments like oh she's a negroid, Like it
just changes the whole conversation. You're in there for like
five minutes and it's like thank you, Like how do
(22:27):
you learn anything in five minutes?
Speaker 5 (22:30):
Right?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
There was there was this issue back home with our
local newspaper and the diversity and no reporters were reporters
of color.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
So like, uh, they contacted me. I was living in Philly.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Some community members contacted me and was like, Hey, you
should go to the newspaper and apply for this job.
We're going to advocate for you. Did that, had a
six hour interview with them, and they ended up not
hiring me because they said, we don't know where to
place you. You're so skillful, we don't know where to
place you. And and now that I'm seeing this, I'm
(23:07):
like that was a six hour sham interview.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
Yep.
Speaker 7 (23:13):
Absolutely, And that's crazy that they they think so low
of black people that they don't even realize that they're
wasting your time. The most valuable thing you have is
your time. Don't waste my time, right, I can't get
that back. I can make more money. I can't get
my time back, right, And they.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
Figure you're so desperate for it, like you you they
would jump at the opportunity to work for our organization,
So just give them the opportunity. And it's just like
you're you're putting You're putting your all out there. Like
some of these positions that they that they're fake offering
are are are our generation changing positions where you think,
like nobody in my family's made this kind of money before,
(23:52):
and you go out there and you do everything, and
it's like from jump, they have no interest in you.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
At the end of it, you're like, you need with
another copy of my resume. Nah, we're good, We'll get
in contact with you and go ahead and get up
out of there.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Right, And just imagine for that time period what it
did for my mental health. Like I went through the
six hour interview and they're like, you know, there's nowhere
that that we could place you. I took that personal
for a couple of years until I was like, you
know what, that doesn't make any sense. That doesn't make
any sense at all. So, folks, we got our Microwave
(24:26):
News Part two coming up at the beginning of our
next hour, So stay with us as we bring you
this information.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
This is LIT one o six. This is LIT one
oh six.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Thank you for joining us on the Morning Experience. So racism, bias, segregation,
and fake jobs. This is all stuff that we have
to deal with as as Black Americans least. I mean
this this list is kind of getting exhaustive or it's
exhausting even reading.
Speaker 7 (24:58):
The list, it keeps getting longer, and I'm like, come
on now, they just it keeps stacking against us. Mind you,
I've had some really bad interviews and I was like, whoa,
I don't know how I did that. But so all
of them not racism.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Sometimes you just really do suck.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
Sometimes you just suck, like oh, striking out at an interview.
Speaker 8 (25:24):
Have you like, how many times have you gave yourself
like up for an interview and you feel like you
went in there and you prepared and then when when
you're in the middle of interview, You're like, I am
not going to get this job.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
I don't even want to continue this stuff.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Yo.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
That's that's that's funny because that's one of the reasons
why I stopped applying for like communication manager, communication director
jobs and everything, because like I'm in there and the
questions that they're asking me, I'm just like I don't
I don't know this. I'm about to be as my
way through this and like I'm I'm never going to
(26:00):
want to be a communication manager. Hang my head on that,
because like no, no, no, you know. But but we're
also this this this isn't that though, like like we're
not talking about you know, bon bonding interviews, which that
should be a topic for Tuesday. But this is one
of those things least where like we're going in we
(26:22):
got the credentials, we got the background, we got the knowledge.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
We may even know some people in there and still
don't get it.
Speaker 7 (26:30):
Oh for sure. And not only do we have great
interviews and we have all the experience and we do
really well in the interview, it's like they know that
we're more qualified than the person that they picked. Yeah,
it is a deliberate slap in our faces without us knowing,
and I think should said something. I think feedback. I
(26:50):
think we as the people applying. I think it should
be mandatory that if you don't get a job, they
bring you in, they interview you, they should offer you
you feedback and tell you why they did not select you.
I've had companies who have called me back because I
built a rapport with the recruiter and she was like,
you know, they really respected me, and they told me why.
(27:10):
But most of the time that's not what happens. And
I think that's part of the problem or the solution.
We they owe us the feedback.
Speaker 8 (27:20):
Yeah, they figured they put on the charade long enough
to get you in there for their interview. They're like,
we're not gonna keep playing this now we got we
got you in here for the interview. You're already a statistic.
We're not going to give you a call back at all.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
YO. Just fake fake interviews. It's just mind boggling to
me because.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
It just feels like doesn't it take more time to
do a fake interview versus doing an actual interview and
field that position Like a fake interview just seems like
it's just the waste of like people's time.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
In the organization, Like you're not working towards anything. But folks,
we got our top ten with hitsy get busy coming
up next, Shiz what you got for us?
Speaker 5 (28:04):
Listen?
Speaker 8 (28:04):
I wanna I want to I want to play a
little game with our audience and with uh, with y'all,
and I just want to see. I know, it's levels,
it's levels the blackness. I want to see how black
black our audience and y'all are. We got we got
this Top ten is going to be about levels of
blackness and do you fit the criteria?
Speaker 5 (28:24):
WHOA?
Speaker 3 (28:26):
All right? All right, so folks stay tuned. Will your
black card be revoked?
Speaker 8 (28:32):
This is lit, Welcome back to the Morning Experience. It
is Wednesday, and it is time for an all new
Top ten. I feel as as black folks, we all,
we all live the same lives. When you talk to people,
you're like, man.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
I did that too.
Speaker 8 (28:50):
I thought that was exclusive to me, and it just
gets exposed that you're living the same life as every
other black person. But we all know that there are
levels to being black. Uh you know that if you
if you laugh someone tells the jokes, you see something funny.
If you assault the person or you run away and laughter,
that is a level of blackness. And this week we
(29:10):
are going I want to keep score, keep keep get
your scorecards out. I want to see exactly what level
of black are you right now?
Speaker 5 (29:18):
A number ten? Number ten.
Speaker 8 (29:21):
If you couldn't just pour a bowl of sugar smacks
or raisin brand because you had to do the inspection.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
First, whatever, please give yourself a point.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Oh man, Ollie had to do it once though.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
It's like I got the one black friend, like a
shout out.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Shot, shout out to my uncle, like he he lived
in the trenches of North Philly, I mean the trenches.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
And like that was the first time that I saw
roaches in refrigerator.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
Oh that was it. That trenches, trenches.
Speaker 7 (30:03):
He got the radioactive roaches. That's a whole other type
of black roaches.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
Fancy roaches.
Speaker 7 (30:14):
The roaches got a condition.
Speaker 8 (30:18):
This way, and look and look if if that applies,
give yourself another point. If you currently still take bowls
out of the bowls or silverware out of the cabinets,
or George, and you give them a little rints even
if just because you don't know if anything might have
crawled on them.
Speaker 5 (30:32):
That is something black, and you should add another point to.
Speaker 7 (30:35):
Your score, or you're dirty, like I mean, you know,
we gotta go.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
It's just habit. It's just habit. We grew up rough.
We grew up rough.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
But sometimes sometimes them bulls dutiesmell like cabinets.
Speaker 8 (30:53):
And and hot order after that, because you just ran
some hot order and switched it around and then dumped.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
It out.
Speaker 7 (31:00):
Cabinet. Wait a minute, we're gonna have to have a
whole conversation on what does cabinet smell like?
Speaker 5 (31:06):
What that perfect, perfect description for it? Number nine. We
all have drunk drawers.
Speaker 8 (31:17):
But if you have old Soy sauce packets and Popeye's
honey packets all that are still stuck together and you
refuse to throw them out, add another point to your score.
Speaker 7 (31:28):
I think I'm too black because they don't last in
my house. I mean, I be using.
Speaker 5 (31:35):
Would you be making what you using them? Packets? And
there I would. I was like, we wear out of honey.
Speaker 8 (31:41):
One day I said, go grab we got a bunch
of packets, and they went in there and grabbed and
it was thirteen of them stuck together.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Yeah, same same.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Listen. Number eight, This gold black people.
Speaker 8 (31:58):
If if you got a drawer cabinet dedicated to plastic
bags that you get from the store.
Speaker 5 (32:03):
Add another point to your black card.
Speaker 8 (32:07):
And if you use these saved plastic bags for anything
from shaking up the flour and the chicken or rain bonnet,
or even if you just go ghetto enough and get
on the airplane with your clothes inside of a plastic bag,
give yourself two points.
Speaker 7 (32:21):
Yeah. And if you still got because I live in
Maryland and certain places in a Maryland you can't have
plastic bags. So if you still have that, you a G.
Like you a G. If you were poring that commitment
and they don't even give you bags, shout out to you.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
I feel attacked America.
Speaker 5 (32:38):
Just black. You don't have to use everybody else is
attacking you. Brother. You just realizing that you're black, and
you just got to realize that you're super black. You
super black. You're blacker than you thought you were.
Speaker 8 (32:48):
Right at number seven, if you ever got beat or
on punishment for not thawing out the chicken, you are
extremely black and you need to double your points. This
is if you thought that you were getting over by
trying to run some hot water or over top of
it when you heard your mom pulling up and you
(33:08):
tried to run the hot water over it.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
It didn't work, But double your points if you ever
did that before.
Speaker 7 (33:13):
It didn't but I put it in the microwaves.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
Sometimes don't tell nobody not ibolical.
Speaker 8 (33:19):
That's nominella all over the microwave, Ladies and gentlemen. That
was the beginning of our top ten. We will be
right back after these messages. In these songs, you were
listening to The Morning Experience on Lit one O six.
(33:46):
Welcome back. It is the Morning Experience. It is Lit
one O six and it is Wednesday. So you know
we are in the middle of our top ten. We
are keeping score to see exactly what level of black
you are. We are at number six and number six
if you relate to the to the memes and the
(34:08):
posts about black people with the little battery on the
smoke detector, but you never actually go and change yours
when you hear it beeping. Add a point to your
sports card. Because I hear a lot of people joke
about it and then you go to their house. It's
just it's always going off. You got to actually change
that battery. It does come out.
Speaker 5 (34:26):
It does change.
Speaker 7 (34:28):
And see this is where my disability saves me, because
I can't. I cannot sit there and listen to that
beeB I would start taking other people houses. I beat
the one I beat no, no, no, no, not today,
and and and I.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Went to white school, so like we were, we were
beat in the head with with replacing U those those
batteries like they showed us, you know, kid plays and everything,
people getting burned up in houses, sleep and everything. They
even had like a little fake house they would bring
to our school that would catch on fire and everything.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
We had to crawl out like like.
Speaker 7 (35:06):
They bear school yees.
Speaker 5 (35:11):
That is that is torture. You shouldn't.
Speaker 8 (35:13):
This could be you if you don't change that beeping
battery and just your kids on fire like terminator to judgment.
Speaker 5 (35:20):
You just see people burning up.
Speaker 9 (35:22):
Yeaham, but look at them now, yeah yeah you we
we've been doing this. We've been doing this since before Juneteenth.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
And you never heard of be.
Speaker 7 (35:36):
Silence. It worked.
Speaker 5 (35:39):
Let me make sure. I don't know.
Speaker 8 (35:40):
I might have heard one of my background I think
I know it's one in the basement for sure, but
it's it's too far back.
Speaker 5 (35:45):
I ain't. I just know when they don't beat them
where I know it's dead. Number five.
Speaker 8 (35:55):
If you give a disclaimer to people before you watch
a movie because you know you're gonna say every single word,
especially if you're watching The Temptations five heart Beats or
anything like that, give yourself another point because we are
good for saying word for word of the whole entire movie.
Speaker 7 (36:13):
People be doing it.
Speaker 5 (36:15):
I do that. Don't don't let five Heartbeats come on,
word for every I mean everything.
Speaker 7 (36:24):
She is we about to fight because it ain't no.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Way, no.
Speaker 8 (36:30):
You gotta you gotta see a movie that I ain't
never saw before and then we could.
Speaker 5 (36:33):
I ain't gotta talk through you know what it is.
Speaker 7 (36:36):
It is because we grew up with the Boulegs and
we are so used to people talking in the film.
It's like it's like black noise, you know what.
Speaker 8 (36:44):
You think that's how you're supposed to watch a movie.
You just be like, oh, well they were talking in
the movie that I had, So.
Speaker 7 (36:50):
That's how it's supposed to be.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
At number four, this this, this is black People.
Speaker 8 (36:59):
And if you listen to songs and you like the
ad libs or the songs more than the actual song,
this is this. This is Drew Hill one hundred percent,
especially when Beauty comes on, and Beauty is an amazing song.
Speaker 5 (37:11):
I love Beauty. I played that for my wife.
Speaker 8 (37:13):
But listen at the end of the song, when Cisco
is going on for about seventeen minutes of just ad libs.
Speaker 5 (37:19):
He is the best part of the song.
Speaker 7 (37:21):
For real facts, all Drew Hill songs are You're right
all in all this because even the thong song, the
best part of that song where the ad lives.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
Cisco. Cisco sangs Cisco. I mean the rent is due
every time Cisco sangs.
Speaker 7 (37:40):
Out out the battlemore again.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's my favorite group.
Speaker 5 (37:47):
Listen Cisco.
Speaker 8 (37:49):
I will sit there and you know exactly where they
drop at and the song. You can pick up the
song in the middle and just come on and.
Speaker 5 (37:55):
Bet he is her day. You gotta go and start singing.
You feel like you're there with them. I steal it.
Speaker 8 (38:03):
Number three, Black Church folks, this is this is if
if you didn't, if you didn't take a mark before,
go ahead and finish the sentence.
Speaker 5 (38:11):
God is good.
Speaker 9 (38:12):
Oh no, no, you didn't all the time and all
the time, God, give yourself a point because.
Speaker 8 (38:24):
That was beat into your head, like don't do drugs
that into your head, and you got to finish it
when somebody say you can't just be quiet.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
Right right right, because that's disrespectful. If you don't finish it,
you know you might miss.
Speaker 7 (38:43):
Oh the rapture came. I guess we didn't make it.
Speaker 5 (38:48):
That's because you didn't say how good God was.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
Mark safe? Mark safe from the rapture?
Speaker 5 (38:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (38:57):
Right, you the last, the last meme maker number two,
Black folks, we do this all the time. I am
guilty of this. If you make sure that you start
that song over once you get to the top of
the block or your destination. If you got to start
the song over so everybody can hear it from the beginning,
you need to add a.
Speaker 5 (39:16):
Point to your scorecard. I was good for doing this.
I wanted to make sure that you heard all of
Jadakiss's verse and not just some of it.
Speaker 7 (39:24):
Come on, sit over here with us. You you on
the autism bus with us? Come on, that's autism.
Speaker 5 (39:36):
I prefer to look at it as a special needs.
Speaker 7 (39:42):
It's okay, I'm on the bus. We can be on
the bus to Gove like.
Speaker 5 (39:46):
Come on, like, y'all ain't hear what he just said, y'ah,
ain't just hear what he just said about fifty. I'm
gonna run that back.
Speaker 8 (39:56):
Well, ladies, gentlemen, that was all. That was most of
our top ten. We will have number one after this break.
Please come back, after this music and after these messages.
It is the morning experience. It is lit one oh six.
Speaker 5 (40:13):
What's good.
Speaker 8 (40:13):
It is the morning Experience. It is our top ten.
It's Wednesday. So we have gone through our top ten
of trying to figure out our level of blackness. I
am scoring off the charts right now. No scantron sheet needed,
but we are at number one and number one. Holidays
are coming up. You got turkey for Thanksgiving and holiday
(40:37):
hams and all the.
Speaker 5 (40:37):
Other good stuff. But give yourself two points right here.
Speaker 8 (40:41):
If the mac and cheese will make or break the
whole entire dinner, everything could be good. But if somebody
messes up that mac and cheese and you have an
attitude about it, give yourself two points.
Speaker 7 (40:55):
Free. That's ale.
Speaker 5 (40:57):
Mac and cheese is the start of the show.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
Least lease.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
I went to two AM project, went the two AM Project,
and I did not know that they are not created equal.
The one on Charles Street is so much better than
the one in thousand and talking about the mac and
cheese so different, and I was so I.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
Almost flipped the table because I was so upset at
that mac and cheese.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
I was like, how are y'all so different? And y'all
are like within twenty miles of each other? I almost
flipped the table.
Speaker 3 (41:35):
Yes, is yes, I believe.
Speaker 5 (41:37):
I believe you.
Speaker 7 (41:38):
Yeah, you don't seed it different than the areas, though,
like you, come on.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
Markie, I would have thought that the cook would have
been the same.
Speaker 5 (41:50):
They got some white guy named rona mac and cheese.
It's like, what the hell is this mac and cheese
started in Italy?
Speaker 7 (42:02):
Yeah, the noodle part geeze, not right. It's just it
ain't yo yo.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
Even even the shrimp was prepared different. I was so upset,
and y'all know I love shrimp, so I was so.
Speaker 5 (42:18):
He's like, well, at least y'all got some shrimp on
a stick.
Speaker 7 (42:23):
And I want y'all to know he's so much for
this man. It's pink okay, so.
Speaker 5 (42:30):
Much iodine, so much.
Speaker 8 (42:35):
But please hit us up on on Instagram at the
morning experience. Hit me up on all platforms at Chizzy,
get busy and let me know what your score was.
If you scored eight or higher, you are in high
Negro levels. If you scored about US five to a seven,
you're still black. But you you ain't you You wasn't
(42:57):
you wasn't in the trenches. And if you score below that,
get your black card.
Speaker 5 (43:03):
Look.
Speaker 8 (43:03):
But this has been the top ten on The Morning Experience, y'all.
Make sure you check us out again on all platforms Spotify, iHeartRadio,
and Apple Podcasts.
Speaker 5 (43:17):
We are on there the Morning Experience. It is LIT
one six.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
This is The Morning Experience, and thank you for joining us, folks,
and thank you for staying with us.
Speaker 3 (43:28):
Man that top ten.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
If you want to hear just just the top ten,
we have those available as well, where it's just the
top ten anywhere you listen to your podcast. So for today,
for what you're watching Wednesday, we are talking about Alien
Earth Season one, which is currently airing on Fax. And
(43:54):
when a mysterious space vessel crash lands on Earth, Wendy
and a ragtag group of tech the soldiers make a
faithful discovery that puts them face to face with the
planet's greatest threat. Now this is just an extension of
those old school alien films at lease, and like, I
(44:14):
really like how they capture those old school films but
bring it in, you know, the new age in twenty
twenty five.
Speaker 7 (44:25):
I'm glad that they're like, I hate remakes. I'm not
even gonna hold you. I'm not a big remake girl.
I don't know how they replace Sigurney Weaver, Like, I
don't know why you replace. But I might have to
check it out, though, because I really liked the Alien
the movie, and if you're saying that this is good,
I might have to check it out. But I think
if they are going to make a nineteen eighties film,
(44:46):
I would like to see a Wall Street right, Like,
especially with today's time, let's turn that into a series.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (44:54):
That's a good idea. Shit.
Speaker 8 (44:57):
I think the issue is is that they're like, we
already have people who aren't as creative, so they're like,
let me just double back on something. But now they're like, cool,
we got all this technology is where we can make
those scenes look a lot different than what they look like.
And it's like, you watch the show and I'm hoping,
I'm hoping. I watched this show and the acting is
on point and everything like that. But we get a Sharknado,
(45:23):
It'll just be some cool effects with some horrible actings.
So I'm hoping that they do this justice because Aliens.
Aliens was a good series and I hope they don't
mess that one up.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
Yeah, yeah, this is this is one of those things
where where it's like the first the first five, five
or six episodes were spot on. But you know, TV
can disappoint you sometimes. Our series can uh bate and
switch you at times, be so good at the beginning
(45:58):
and then just fall off.
Speaker 3 (46:00):
I'm looking at you, Ozarks.
Speaker 2 (46:02):
But but but yeah, folks, again, folks, thank you for
joining us for the morning experience on this home day.
Speaker 8 (46:11):
Absolutely was. It was a good Wednesday and and and
we never say it, shout out to shout out to
our girl list. Make sure that at the end of
the week you catch the mash up of the show
on that make sure you check it out. It's a
mash up. It puts everything all in perspective for you.
Speaker 7 (46:27):
Oh see, I'm so happy now.
Speaker 5 (46:31):
They love me.
