Speaker 1 (00:01):
I don't know what people were expecting, but Americans rate
their financial happiness four point nine out of ten. Really, yeah,
I knew five basically, yes, five out of ten. And
you knew we were in trouble when we open our
wallets and air hissed out like a mummy's tomb. That
ain't no good. Actually, all jokes aside. The economy is
doing pretty good right now. Nobody wants to say that
out loud. But have you looked at the market? Have
(00:23):
you looked at your portfolio? In? I know, and I
have a thing. Be all right, mister. I'm glad you
look at it, because I don't think other people do.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
No, they probably don't. They just hear the news and
they say, well, that's the news. It must be bad
out too. A little bit of real estate news here
today from the world of home buying. I don't know
if this is buyer's remorse. Remember when Ellen Degenerous moved.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Yeah, the two most famous lesbians in America both moved
at the same time. Rosie O'Donnell, Ellen Degenerous and whatever
her girlfriend's name is, Porsche Porsche. You don't even spell
it right. It's okay, it's not how you spell that. Anyway,
they are now taking their thirty million dollars LA home
off the market. Do you think they want to? You know,
do they regret moving to Europe? They realize it kind
(01:05):
of sucks over there.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Oh maybe it's not like nobody was offering them near
thirty million dollars for it. They say, well, I guess
we had to pull it because it's embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Yeah. Anyway, that's the latest on this holding on to
one piece of her life in Los Angeles. Ellen DeGeneres,
after relocating to the UK, has chosen to take the
last remaining US property off the market, months after she
and wife Portia de Rossi moved to a British countryside.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
And that's wife not girlfriend to mean to their relationship,
I think.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Well, I mean, you know, according to the Bible, they're
not really much. Oh okay, I can't. I have no
issue with the women.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
It does sound like that she's leaving that house. There
is like a safety net in case Rosie. While she
got over there and told you how great everything was,
people have said, you know, goes Praline keeps over this
kind of staff. No, she's probably gonna move back here
any minute now, because it's just hard over there. It
ain't as soft and cushy, and they don't go crazy
(02:03):
for celebrities like America does.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Apparently Rosie O'Donnell is cheering on the Menanda's hearing. Rosie
o'donnald's social media post about the resentencing of the Menendez
brothers has sparked controversy. She remarked, I love these guys.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yeah, she's apparently, you know, familiarize themselves with them.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
She said, I'm thrilled the Menendez brothers have been re sentenced.
I'm praying the parole board will grant them parole so
this horrible chapter of their lives can end. Why is
Rosy o'donald in an intimate friendship with the Menendez brothers.
It's very strange, isn't it. She should go hang with them. Yeah,
we can make room for you there. Where would you
rather go? Ireland or prison? Well? I know, yeah, either way. Okay,
(02:50):
So the latest down this here. Taking a look at
the New York Times today, here's an interesting headline, why
do more police officers die by suicide than in the
line of duty? I don't know why. Well, they don't
really explain it, but I think because a lot of
them are ex military, and they have PTSD, and they
live in a society where the liberal media is constantly
vilifying them and making them look like even though they're
(03:12):
risking life and limb for very little money, they're actually
bad guys that are hurting us. Uh oh, I don't
think that. I don't have an issue with them. But
at least one hundred and eighty four public safety officers
die by suicide each year, and how many of them
do you think are military? That's probably all of them.
It's a pretty good number. Yeah, high percentage. Okay. So
part of the reason why there's so many people in
(03:33):
law enforcement committing suicide is simply because what is it,
twenty two vets commit suicide every day, and most people
in law enforcement are ex military. But it probably doesn't
help that you turn on MSNBC in any news story
involving cops is constantly polarized to help spread the message
that police are the enemy.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
You imagine a young man who steps up to serve
and join the police academy and go through all that
and gets out there and then well, he did it
for all these great reasons, whether it's you know, his
family serves. You know, he just took it upon himself
to start that tradition.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
And then day after day all he hears about is
just how awful he is and all the people he
works with, to the point where it's his dreams have
been crushed, his spirit is crushed. Everything about all the
good things he planned on doing for the community, it's
all out the window now, and he's like, some of
(04:30):
them just can't handle it.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Right, it's beautiful. What's your favorite ice cream? Billy ed?
And why is it Bluebell? Well?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah, Bluebell specifically. I'm a cookies and cream guy. I
you know, I have been ever sincely invented cookies and cream.
But I do addle a few oreos to it, you know.
I Mean it's nice that they got oreos in there,
but I always think it needs a couple more, just
crushed up into bowl.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Why do you think it is that Ben and Jerry's
gets treated like it's the best brand, when in fact
he just marks his propaganda on the side of a pint.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Liberals stick together, and Ben and Jerry the ice cream guys,
are extreme lunatic liberals, and so is the media, so
they give them a little help every chance they get.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Okay, So Ben Cohen is Ben and Jerry. He's Ben
from Ben and Jerry looks exactly like Bernie Sanders and
rants like him too. Yeah. Yesterday apparently he had a
hissy fit during a congressional hearing with RFK Junior, the
guy that made America fat is pissed off at r R. Yeah,
because it's all about health. Right. Yesterday, Ben from Ben
(05:38):
and Jerry shut up at Secretary Kennedy's hearing, and this happened.
The audience disruptions will not be permitted. Well, the Committy
conducts his business. Capitol police are asked to remove the
individuals from the Hairy Root. They drugged it a little
bot out of there. Something about medicaid. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
It was during that whole RFK thing that you played earlier,
and he went there specifically to interrupt it.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Do you guys know anyone that's lost their medicaid in
this latest I mean, do you know anyone that medicare
Medicaid that is complaining now that they can't get their
medicine because RFK Junior.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
No, No, But they just make up stories, you know,
just scare people and get them to.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Do what they want. We've taken people off Medicare who
probably weren't supposed to be on it, like illegal immigrants.
But you know, Gavin Newsom just did that. If the
California governor does it, why isn't Ben from Ben and
Jerry complaining about that?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
No, and Gavin Newsom, as you guys pointed out early
this morning, he is now and this is what the
Democrats call it. He is walking back some of his
own policies like free health care for illegal aliens, homeless camps.
These are all things that were great while he was
just being governor of California. But now I think everybody
(06:54):
admits that he is being considered the front runner for
the Democrat presidential campaign. Well, it'll probably start real soon,
even though it's not until twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
And let's not forget last year, California also passed that
massive criminal justice reform bell. They said, you remember when
we legalized shoplifting, Maybe maybe we shouldn't have done that,
And so now apparently you can't in California. You can't
shoplift and get a ticket anymore. You'll actually get arrested
for you. And that's cold blooded, man.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
They get people used to that walk off into the
Walgreens or whatever, snatch yourself up some stuff and just
move the on out the dope.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Nobody say nothing. Well, you know, I could see why
it would be upsetting to people that they can no
longer shoplift. But similarly to those of us who haven't
been shoplifting this whole time, Yeah, how about us, We've
been paying more for less And you know when you
steal something from the target or the CVS that you
know that's got to get subsidized from somewhere more or later.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
We're all paying for their free stuff. Yeah, like we
always open.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Stock up on your beef tallow it's the Walton and Johnson.
So is that how you do it?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
That's really good, Billy. That's what a real guitar sounds exactly. Yeah,
we couldn't tell the difference. A little while back.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Here in the Houston area. For those that don't know where,
our flagship stations in Southeast Texas were heard all over
the country. But we're specifically in a very very specific place,
and that place is Houston, Texas. And Houston, Texas is
home to a very affluent suburb sometimes referred to as
Fort Ben county. A little while back, the county judge,
(08:31):
the executive of the county, a guy named k P. George,
who I think ethnic origin is South Asia, decided to
create a little controversy for himself. I guess he was
trying to create sympathy for himself when he went on
the Internet and he basically made fun of himself for
being an Indian. Okay, He used fake accounts to make
(08:52):
it look like people were bullying him because of his race,
and he got caught for it. It was a huge
it was a national news story. KPg George wanted people
to think that he was being picked on by racists
on the internet, and it turned out the racists on
the internet weren't real people.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
They just wouldn't pick out him in real life. So
he just had to make it up.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Not to be outdone by his scandal. He now has
a worst scandal. He has been indicted on what is
it financial crimes? We'll just leave it at that. Really,
and so now there is going to be an upcoming
race to replace him. And what's tricky about this is
kind of like the mayor of Houston. We have to
pick the best Democrat. Yeah, yeah, it's going to be
a Democrat. That's just all you go have. And when
(09:34):
I look at the group of people that are trying
to replace him right now, the moderate Democrat appears to
be the four hundred thirty fourth District Court Judge Jay
Christian Bachera seems like the reasonable guy in the group
as far as Democrats go. Yeah, and that's always with
a little astrokup there, kind of like John Whitmyer, the
moderate Houston Democrat. John Whitmyer's the best mayor we've had
(09:55):
in Houston in years. Why because he's a Democrat and
he's just not batsuit crazy. Yeah, that's all it takes.
So if you are somebody that lives in the sugar
Land area and you can actually vote in this, just
for the record, if you're voting in the Democrat primary,
because you know, voting in the Republican primary won't do anything.
Four hundred and thirty fourth District Court Judge Jay Christian Bachera,
from what I can tell, seems like the more reasonable choice.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
And on a ringing endorsement, Yeah, okay, that's all I got.
And you don't know that much about him or the
other people, but it looks like he might be reasonable.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I have been told by people in the Fort ben
County judicial system not crazy, but at least not that crazy. Apparently,
here's what's radical about this judge. This is this is
pretty pretty insane. When a criminal comes into his court
and it looks like the criminal is actually guilty of
a crime, this crazy guy send him to jail.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
What Yeah, no way, you're supposed to let him go,
it's not out the front door. Then escort him out
the back door while nobody's looking. Yeah, that's how you
do it.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
To these days. Sure, right, exactly.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I just saw something on TV that was, well, it
was good, but it was upsetting. Today is the fifteenth
of May, and they just, for the first time. I
haven't seen this for two weeks, Box News finally admitted
that it is Military Appreciation Month month. Have you heard
anything about military appreciation on Fox News or anywhere else?
(11:21):
Really on TV for two weeks, But now it's the
middle of the month and they had somebody on doing
an interview about military appreciation. The only way a lot
of people found out about is if you go to
the baseball game. The Astros honor veterans and active duty
military members. Operation Military appreciation at every home game, and
(11:41):
the honorees receive tickets behind home plate and they get
food and drank and everything.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Now, just so we're clear, it's supposed to be the
whole month of May supposed to be. This isn't one
of those things where they start halfway through the month
and then it ends. It's just May. From what we hear,
what is that Women's Health Month or something starts halfway
through April? Mexico Appreciation Month? Oh? Yeah, national what they
call it exactly? It is National Military Appreciation Month. And
(12:07):
how cool? This morning the Trump was hanging out and
cutter with people at the biggest air base for the
US military in the mid East. And you know who
was there, THEO Vaughn, just hanging out, shaking hands, high
fiving people, the comedian from Covington, Louisiana.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
We were assuming they were putting on some sort of
a USO style show. So it wasn't just the President
of talking. They had some some other entertainment as well.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yeah, speaking of entertainment, mister, oh you're from the community.
Do y'all still have love for Tony Braxton? Is that? Ah?
I don't know about the rest of them, but I do.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I've always had a little special song for Tony b.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Tony Braxton was a popular R and B singer in
the nineties. I think so she looked good. She was
a beautiful woman. I mean, she's still it. She's not
bad like she still Okay, I have a photo of
her at her son's graduation.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
No, no, that's not a graduation. That looks she's dressed
rather seductively to be it a graduation.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Tony Braxton went to her son's college graduation, Lord, and
she made the cognitive decision to dress like a whore.
What she's seeming like? Horror? Yeah, she turned her son's
college graduation into a runway moment, showing up in what
The Atlanta Black Star describes as a sizzling outfit.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Oh sizzling, but is that? Are you supposed to sizzle
at the graduation?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Howard University is a HBCU if I'm not mistake. Oh boy.
It was the one hundred and fifty seventh commencement, and
so she showed up to watch her twenty two year
old son walk across the stage.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Her blouse is she First of all, she's wearing black,
which doesn't seem like a part her blouse is shear,
her skirt is lace, so you can see right through that.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Obviously.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
One of the comments says, looks like she was going
to a pimp's funeral.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yeah you could see it, man, I could see her
panty line. Tony Braxton, that's gotta be a little weird
for her sons.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Maybe appropriate one of the red carpet events at a
con film festival or the met but.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Graduating college no all black outfit included a blazer, a
body suit, no pants underneath, a black lace skirt, a
black wide brim hat with a veil. Yeah, it looks
like a pimp's funeral. What was the point of this?
Is she trying to make her ex husband jealous or
just begging for attention because.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
As a celebrity, I guess once you get that attention
for a while, you always wanted back.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Maybe the point was to just get in the news.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I guess.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I guess it's working. We're talking about her right now.
I don't know if I was talking you are. Yeah,
what are you gonna wear? That's seductive and shocking? When
you do your stand up comedy?
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Shouldn't you wear something controversial?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Oh? Thank you for reminding me. We have a comedy
show coming up for those that do not know Me
and Jesse Hay and a bunch of other people are
gonna be in Jackson, Mississippi, May twenty second.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
You should say special guest appearances the secret you know.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Oh yeah, be surprised. Guest appearances. We're all gonna wear
lace and no pants. We're all gonna wear We're gonna
dress up like it's a pimp's funeral. Join us May
twenty second, Jackson, Mississippi. May twenty third is a Friday
in Mandeville and May twenty fourth in Metai for a
couple's therapy. It is a relationship themed comedy show. Get
get marriage and dating advice from two divorced middle aged
(15:30):
men who act like they're still in their early twenties.
How sad? Yeah, yeah, it's not an act. No, it's not. Yeah, anyway,
it'll be fun. It's a fun night. It's a fun
nay to comedy. We always have a good time doing this.
Back to the military for just a minute.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I notice you got an email here from Robert, and
I don't think you said this, but Robert just says
you don't have to be in the military to get PTS.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Kinney.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Nate took the d out a while back. By the way,
I don't know if you notice, it's just PTS.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Now post traumatic stress. It's not a disorder. It's just
that's the way things all. Is that what he said
in the email?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Well, no, this, but I'm just telling you he just
wrote PTS because he knows I served in law enforcement
only without military back, and they killed myself due to PTS,
drinking and pills. Now I'm disable to retired, but at
work at a place that I started my Healing Warriors
Heart has a bunch of cops there.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
So that's over Central Louisiana. Okay, let's see what percentage
of cops are vets. It looks like it's about a
third of them. Okay, So to his point, it's not all.
At any time I meet a cop and I ask
them if they're ex military, this is anecdotal. I feel
like they always tell me they are. And now that's
not the case necessarily because apparently this guy's not one.
But anyway, we're grateful for your service. So hell yeah, cops, firefighters, military,
(16:49):
not the ambulance though. I'm they never give me any
drugs when they come. Yeah, I'm always asking for something.
Shame you know, give me the laughing gas or something.
They never share it with me. Anyway, if you serve
the country in any capacity, we're grateful for you. You know.
It's a good reminder kids. If you want to help
out our military veterans for Military Appreciation Month, go to
Wheelchairs for Warriors dot org. Make a donation. Doesn't cost
(17:10):
a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Good group folks are doing fine work for people, and
believe me, it is needed and much appreciated when you give.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Yeah, it's sad to think that we don't actually give
good wheelchairs to our military veterans in this country. We
just don't. We simply don't. And more often than not,
they need something better than what they've got so they
can rejoin life, come back home and go fishing and
use the bathroom without assistance? And is that so much
to ask for a little bit of dignity shouldn't be?
(17:39):

this latest I mean, do you know anyone that medicare
Medicaid that is complaining now that they can't get their
medicine because RFK Junior.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
No, No, But they just make up stories, you know,
just scare people and get them to.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Do what they want. We've taken people off Medicare who
probably weren't supposed to be on it, like illegal immigrants.
But you know, Gavin Newsom just did that. If the
California governor does it, why isn't Ben from Ben and
Jerry complaining about that?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
No, and Gavin Newsom, as you guys pointed out early
this morning, he is now and this is what the
Democrats call it. He is walking back some of his
own policies like free health care for illegal aliens, homeless camps.
These are all things that were great while he was
just being governor of California. But now I think everybody
(06:54):
admits that he is being considered the front runner for
the Democrat presidential campaign. Well, it'll probably start real soon,
even though it's not until twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
And let's not forget last year, California also passed that
massive criminal justice reform bell. They said, you remember when
we legalized shoplifting, Maybe maybe we shouldn't have done that,
And so now apparently you can't in California. You can't
shoplift and get a ticket anymore. You'll actually get arrested
for you. And that's cold blooded, man.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
They get people used to that walk off into the
Walgreens or whatever, snatch yourself up some stuff and just
move the on out the dope.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Nobody say nothing. Well, you know, I could see why
it would be upsetting to people that they can no
longer shoplift. But similarly to those of us who haven't
been shoplifting this whole time, Yeah, how about us, We've
been paying more for less And you know when you
steal something from the target or the CVS that you
know that's got to get subsidized from somewhere more or later.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
We're all paying for their free stuff. Yeah, like we
always open.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Stock up on your beef tallow it's the Walton and Johnson.
So is that how you do it?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
That's really good, Billy. That's what a real guitar sounds exactly. Yeah,
we couldn't tell the difference. A little while back.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Here in the Houston area. For those that don't know where,
our flagship stations in Southeast Texas were heard all over
the country. But we're specifically in a very very specific place,
and that place is Houston, Texas. And Houston, Texas is
home to a very affluent suburb sometimes referred to as
Fort Ben county. A little while back, the county judge,
(08:31):
the executive of the county, a guy named k P. George,
who I think ethnic origin is South Asia, decided to
create a little controversy for himself. I guess he was
trying to create sympathy for himself when he went on
the Internet and he basically made fun of himself for
being an Indian. Okay, He used fake accounts to make
(08:52):
it look like people were bullying him because of his race,
and he got caught for it. It was a huge
it was a national news story. KPg George wanted people
to think that he was being picked on by racists
on the internet, and it turned out the racists on
the internet weren't real people.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
They just wouldn't pick out him in real life. So
he just had to make it up.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Not to be outdone by his scandal. He now has
a worst scandal. He has been indicted on what is
it financial crimes? We'll just leave it at that. Really,
and so now there is going to be an upcoming
race to replace him. And what's tricky about this is
kind of like the mayor of Houston. We have to
pick the best Democrat. Yeah, yeah, it's going to be
a Democrat. That's just all you go have. And when
(09:34):
I look at the group of people that are trying
to replace him right now, the moderate Democrat appears to
be the four hundred thirty fourth District Court Judge Jay
Christian Bachera seems like the reasonable guy in the group
as far as Democrats go. Yeah, and that's always with
a little astrokup there, kind of like John Whitmyer, the
moderate Houston Democrat. John Whitmyer's the best mayor we've had
(09:55):
in Houston in years. Why because he's a Democrat and
he's just not batsuit crazy. Yeah, that's all it takes.
So if you are somebody that lives in the sugar
Land area and you can actually vote in this, just
for the record, if you're voting in the Democrat primary,
because you know, voting in the Republican primary won't do anything.
Four hundred and thirty fourth District Court Judge Jay Christian Bachera,
from what I can tell, seems like the more reasonable choice.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
And on a ringing endorsement, Yeah, okay, that's all I got.
And you don't know that much about him or the
other people, but it looks like he might be reasonable.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I have been told by people in the Fort ben
County judicial system not crazy, but at least not that crazy. Apparently,
here's what's radical about this judge. This is this is
pretty pretty insane. When a criminal comes into his court
and it looks like the criminal is actually guilty of
a crime, this crazy guy send him to jail.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
What Yeah, no way, you're supposed to let him go,
it's not out the front door. Then escort him out
the back door while nobody's looking. Yeah, that's how you
do it.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
To these days. Sure, right, exactly.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I just saw something on TV that was, well, it
was good, but it was upsetting. Today is the fifteenth
of May, and they just, for the first time. I
haven't seen this for two weeks, Box News finally admitted
that it is Military Appreciation Month month. Have you heard
anything about military appreciation on Fox News or anywhere else?
(11:21):
Really on TV for two weeks, But now it's the
middle of the month and they had somebody on doing
an interview about military appreciation. The only way a lot
of people found out about is if you go to
the baseball game. The Astros honor veterans and active duty
military members. Operation Military appreciation at every home game, and
(11:41):
the honorees receive tickets behind home plate and they get
food and drank and everything.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Now, just so we're clear, it's supposed to be the
whole month of May supposed to be. This isn't one
of those things where they start halfway through the month
and then it ends. It's just May. From what we hear,
what is that Women's Health Month or something starts halfway
through April? Mexico Appreciation Month? Oh? Yeah, national what they
call it exactly? It is National Military Appreciation Month. And
(12:07):
how cool? This morning the Trump was hanging out and
cutter with people at the biggest air base for the
US military in the mid East. And you know who
was there, THEO Vaughn, just hanging out, shaking hands, high
fiving people, the comedian from Covington, Louisiana.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
We were assuming they were putting on some sort of
a USO style show. So it wasn't just the President
of talking. They had some some other entertainment as well.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yeah, speaking of entertainment, mister, oh you're from the community.
Do y'all still have love for Tony Braxton? Is that? Ah?
I don't know about the rest of them, but I do.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I've always had a little special song for Tony b.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Tony Braxton was a popular R and B singer in
the nineties. I think so she looked good. She was
a beautiful woman. I mean, she's still it. She's not
bad like she still Okay, I have a photo of
her at her son's graduation.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
No, no, that's not a graduation. That looks she's dressed
rather seductively to be it a graduation.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Tony Braxton went to her son's college graduation, Lord, and
she made the cognitive decision to dress like a whore.
What she's seeming like? Horror? Yeah, she turned her son's
college graduation into a runway moment, showing up in what
The Atlanta Black Star describes as a sizzling outfit.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Oh sizzling, but is that? Are you supposed to sizzle
at the graduation?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Howard University is a HBCU if I'm not mistake. Oh boy.
It was the one hundred and fifty seventh commencement, and
so she showed up to watch her twenty two year
old son walk across the stage.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Her blouse is she First of all, she's wearing black,
which doesn't seem like a part her blouse is shear,
her skirt is lace, so you can see right through that.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Obviously.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
One of the comments says, looks like she was going
to a pimp's funeral.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yeah you could see it, man, I could see her
panty line. Tony Braxton, that's gotta be a little weird
for her sons.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Maybe appropriate one of the red carpet events at a
con film festival or the met but.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Graduating college no all black outfit included a blazer, a
body suit, no pants underneath, a black lace skirt, a
black wide brim hat with a veil. Yeah, it looks
like a pimp's funeral. What was the point of this?
Is she trying to make her ex husband jealous or
just begging for attention because.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
As a celebrity, I guess once you get that attention
for a while, you always wanted back.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Maybe the point was to just get in the news.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I guess.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I guess it's working. We're talking about her right now.
I don't know if I was talking you are. Yeah,
what are you gonna wear? That's seductive and shocking? When
you do your stand up comedy?
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Shouldn't you wear something controversial?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Oh? Thank you for reminding me. We have a comedy
show coming up for those that do not know Me
and Jesse Hay and a bunch of other people are
gonna be in Jackson, Mississippi, May twenty second.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
You should say special guest appearances the secret you know.

lace and no pants. We're all gonna wear We're gonna
dress up like it's a pimp's funeral. Join us May

get marriage and dating advice from two divorced middle aged
(15:30):

How sad? Yeah, yeah, it's not an act. No, it's not. Yeah, anyway,
it'll be fun. It's a fun night. It's a fun
nay to comedy. We always have a good time doing this.
Back to the military for just a minute.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I notice you got an email here from Robert, and
I don't think you said this, but Robert just says
you don't have to be in the military to get PTS.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Kinney.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Nate took the d out a while back. By the way,
I don't know if you notice, it's just PTS.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Now post traumatic stress. It's not a disorder. It's just
that's the way things all. Is that what he said
in the email?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Well, no, this, but I'm just telling you he just
wrote PTS because he knows I served in law enforcement
only without military back, and they killed myself due to PTS,
drinking and pills. Now I'm disable to retired, but at
work at a place that I started my Healing Warriors
Heart has a bunch of cops there.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
So that's over Central Louisiana. Okay, let's see what percentage
of cops are vets. It looks like it's about a
third of them. Okay, So to his point, it's not all.
At any time I meet a cop and I ask
them if they're ex military, this is anecdotal. I feel
like they always tell me they are. And now that's
not the case necessarily because apparently this guy's not one.
But anyway, we're grateful for your service. So hell yeah, cops, firefighters, military,
(16:49):
not the ambulance though. I'm they never give me any
drugs when they come. Yeah, I'm always asking for something.
Shame you know, give me the laughing gas or something.
They never share it with me. Anyway, if you serve
the country in any capacity, we're grateful for you. You know.
It's a good reminder kids. If you want to help
out our military veterans for Military Appreciation Month, go to
Wheelchairs for Warriors dot org. Make a donation. Doesn't cost
(17:10):
a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Good group folks are doing fine work for people, and
believe me, it is needed and much appreciated when you give.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Yeah, it's sad to think that we don't actually give
good wheelchairs to our military veterans in this country. We
just don't. We simply don't. And more often than not,
they need something better than what they've got so they
can rejoin life, come back home and go fishing and
use the bathroom without assistance? And is that so much
to ask for a little bit of dignity shouldn't be?
(17:39):
Go to Wheelchairs for Warriors dot org. Make a donation today.
