00:01:52 --> 00:01:56 Everything's good, Dave. No complaints. Well, I'm sorry. Of course,
00:01:56 --> 00:01:59 there's always complaints, but no complaints to state.
00:02:00 --> 00:02:04 We definitely can't complain, can't we? Right. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah.
00:02:05 --> 00:02:10 But, you know, we're in a place in a different world,
00:02:10 --> 00:02:15 you know, every time you turn on the news, we're sitting there,
00:02:15 --> 00:02:18 we listen to stuff that's being said, everything that's being done out there,
00:02:19 --> 00:02:24 and you say to yourself, you say to yourself that you've been in a,
00:02:24 --> 00:02:31 You say to yourself that you can't be surprised by anything more,
00:02:32 --> 00:02:35 but then something new comes up and it surprises you.
00:02:36 --> 00:02:41 See, like every day we hear something, you know, you figure we're in the point
00:02:41 --> 00:02:47 in our lives now that nothing can surprise us, nothing can shake us anymore,
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48 and then something does,
00:02:48 --> 00:02:52 you know, and things just keep surprising us, you know.
00:02:53 --> 00:02:58 I agree. Yeah, yeah. It's just never a dull moment. Never, ever.
00:02:58 --> 00:03:02 But here we are. That's the world we live in.
00:03:03 --> 00:03:09 We're definitely in a really, really strange universe.
00:03:09 --> 00:03:15 You know, I almost feel that the parallel universe that they talk about on these
00:03:15 --> 00:03:21 comic books and the movies and all that stuff, I'm really starting to believe
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22 there might be a parallel universe.
00:03:23 --> 00:03:26 Because some of the weird stuff that's going on there, you'd be like,
00:03:27 --> 00:03:31 okay, is this really happening?
00:03:31 --> 00:03:34 You know, but hey, what can you say? What can you say?
00:03:36 --> 00:03:43 But you know did you anything exciting this weekend or yeah i i did exciting
00:03:43 --> 00:03:47 and time consuming so this was actually one of my stories so i just want to
00:03:47 --> 00:03:53 kind of talk about it real quick but this weekend my son had a swim meet in philadelphia,
00:03:54 --> 00:03:58 And it was hosted by the Philadelphia Department of Recreation.
00:03:59 --> 00:04:04 And, you know, I like their team because they have a lot of black swimmers on
00:04:04 --> 00:04:07 there and a lot of good black swimmers.
00:04:07 --> 00:04:12 So, you know, like I think it's good for my son to see and, you know, he's good, too.
00:04:12 --> 00:04:17 But it's good to kind of see that representation in swimming.
00:04:19 --> 00:04:27 Now, one of the banners that they had hanging in the, in the pool was for Jim Ellis, right?
00:04:27 --> 00:04:35 And Jim Ellis was the founder of PDR Swim Team. And he was the one that the movie Pride was about.
00:04:36 --> 00:04:39 Yep. And Dave, I know you saw it because you saw every single movie that ever
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41 came out. Yeah, that was a decent movie. Yeah.
00:04:42 --> 00:04:47 Yep. So, so while there was a swim meet sitting in the stands on Saturday,
00:04:47 --> 00:04:57 there was a guy sitting poolside and he had like a chair almost pulled up poolside
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59 and I could see was an older black guy.
00:04:59 --> 00:05:04 So on Sunday, I was like, Quincy, okay, I was like, you see the banner right there.
00:05:05 --> 00:05:09 You know, like you can see what he looks like. I want you to go to,
00:05:09 --> 00:05:14 you know, I want you to go up to him and see if that's Jim Ellis.
00:05:14 --> 00:05:18 And you already know kids these days, like, oh, do I have to? Why?
00:05:19 --> 00:05:24 You know, so the whole meet, I'm waiting for him to walk over there because
00:05:24 --> 00:05:27 that area was like for swimmers only or, you know, swimmers officials.
00:05:28 --> 00:05:34 So he does walk over. So afterwards, you know, when he's done and I'm like,
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36 Quincy, I need you go there and see.
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38 And he was still scared. He had to take a friend to go over with him.
00:05:39 --> 00:05:42 So he walks over and I could see him talking to the guy.
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46 And he was talking there for like five minutes.
00:05:46 --> 00:05:50 And, you know, I'm trying to wait for the signal so I can go over and get a
00:05:50 --> 00:05:53 picture with him or something. And he don't give me no signal.
00:05:54 --> 00:05:58 And then he starts walking back over. And I look at him and he said, yeah, he said, it's OK.
00:05:59 --> 00:06:03 And I'm like, God, darn it. Well, you know, come on now. So we go over.
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05 So why do we walk? It was. So it was him?
00:06:05 --> 00:06:10 Yep. It was him. Oh, yep. So we, yep, we go over.
00:06:11 --> 00:06:15 And as I'm walking over with Quincy, I'm like, okay, you know,
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17 what did he say to you? Like, what are you talking about?
00:06:17 --> 00:06:22 And he said, well, he was asking me my times and asked me how old I was.
00:06:22 --> 00:06:28 And then he said, when I told him I was only 15, he looked me up and down because,
00:06:28 --> 00:06:32 you know, Quincy's six, three, almost six, four at 15.
00:06:32 --> 00:06:37 So anyway, long story short. So I get over there, I introduced myself,
00:06:38 --> 00:06:41 you know, of course I got to give my shameless Al Bundy plug,
00:06:41 --> 00:06:45 like, Hey, back in the day, I scored four touchdowns and, you know,
00:06:45 --> 00:06:50 so, you know, I'm telling him that because Dave, I actually met him when I was in high school.
00:06:51 --> 00:06:55 He had come to the university of Delaware. There was a swim meet there and PDR,
00:06:55 --> 00:06:59 his team had come and I talked to him at that event.
00:06:59 --> 00:07:02 You know, of course, before the movie, I didn't know all about him like that,
00:07:02 --> 00:07:05 but you know, we knew PDR was a good team that had a lot of black people.
00:07:06 --> 00:07:10 So, and he had asked me to come up there and swim with PDR.
00:07:10 --> 00:07:14 But of course, you know, Delaware to Philly for practice, you know,
00:07:14 --> 00:07:14 that's not going to work.
00:07:15 --> 00:07:20 So anyway, so then he's like, yeah, he's like, I was talking to your son and
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22 you know, he says he does this and this. I was like, yeah.
00:07:22 --> 00:07:25 And he was like, how many times does he work out?
00:07:25 --> 00:07:28 And Quincy was like, how many times do you work out per week?
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29 And Quincy was like, two.
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32 And I was like, no, he works out five to six days a week. He thought he was
00:07:32 --> 00:07:35 talking about like lifting weights and stuff like that.
00:07:35 --> 00:07:39 But anyway, long story short, very nice, very knowledgeable,
00:07:39 --> 00:07:42 you know, on the sidelines, still very active.
00:07:42 --> 00:07:45 You know, his mobility may not be there all the way.
00:07:45 --> 00:07:48 But and, you know, we took a picture of him and I can't lie.
00:07:48 --> 00:07:51 That like I was geeking on the way back to Delaware.
00:07:52 --> 00:07:55 Like I was excited. it. You know, I looked at that picture.
00:07:55 --> 00:07:58 In fact, if you get a chance, I posted on my Instagram, my Facebook today.
00:07:59 --> 00:08:00 Yeah. So just impressive.
00:08:00 --> 00:08:07 But anyway, I say that to say for anyone who does not know, Jim Ellis in Philadelphia,
00:08:08 --> 00:08:15 founder of PDR, is credited with founding the first black swim team in the nation.
00:08:16 --> 00:08:22 And he did it in 1971. I'm sorry, first predominantly black swim team in the nation.
00:08:23 --> 00:08:28 It was founded in 1971 and he's still active in coaching today.
00:08:28 --> 00:08:33 Dave, that is 45, 44 years. How old is he?
00:08:34 --> 00:08:39 Um, so I think he's 78 years old. Okay. All right. Yep.
00:08:39 --> 00:08:49 And yep. So PDR, they have their, some of their swimmers have broken national age group records.
00:08:49 --> 00:08:55 They have made U.S. national teams. They have qualified for the Olympics.
00:08:55 --> 00:09:02 Jim Ellis has been honored time and time and again with awards and achievements and stuff like that.
00:09:03 --> 00:09:08 And, of course, he was the focus of the movie Pride, which starred Terrence
00:09:08 --> 00:09:15 Howard, Bernie Mac, rest in peace, and I think Elyse Neal, right?
00:09:15 --> 00:09:19 But for anyone who's not familiar with the story, great story.
00:09:19 --> 00:09:23 Check out the movie. The movie is based on his real life events.
00:09:24 --> 00:09:28 But I can't lie. That was like the highlight of my day.
00:09:30 --> 00:09:33 And you geeking. You know, your son probably.
00:09:34 --> 00:09:39 Did your son get excited after you realized it was him? Not really.
00:09:40 --> 00:09:44 Yeah, they take everything. Dave, you know, these kids don't really get excited.
00:09:44 --> 00:09:49 And it's funny because when we were going to the meet, oh, no,
00:09:49 --> 00:09:51 well, this was after when we were on the way home. He was like,
00:09:51 --> 00:09:58 yeah, my mom had told me to watch Pride, the movie Pride, before the swammy, but he didn't.
00:09:59 --> 00:10:04 And in fact, I'm glad you reminded me because I found Pride on HBO Max.
00:10:04 --> 00:10:07 So I'm going to have him watch it. You're going to have him watch it, okay.
00:10:08 --> 00:10:11 You're going to sit him down. You're going to make sure y'all watch it together.
00:10:12 --> 00:10:16 Well, I'll try, but I want to make sure he watch it. Maybe I'll quiz him. Okay.
00:10:18 --> 00:10:23 Okay. All right. Well, that sounds like a great look. So you had an official
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25 sighting. There you go. Yeah.
00:10:26 --> 00:10:29 Okay. All right. All right. History at its best.
00:10:30 --> 00:10:33 Yeah. Yeah. Black excellence. There you go. Black excellence.
00:10:34 --> 00:10:40 You know, and especially when it comes to sports and something other than football or basketball.
00:10:40 --> 00:10:42 Right. That's a great thing. You know what I mean? You know,
00:10:43 --> 00:10:47 because most of us are, that's for, you know, most of the notoriety is football.
00:10:48 --> 00:10:54 Basketball, and then baseball, you know, but, you know, when you hear these,
00:10:55 --> 00:10:58 you know other sports swimming and
00:10:58 --> 00:11:01 soccer those kind of sports you know that's and someone
00:11:01 --> 00:11:04 is doing what they're doing and then we have pioneers as

00:13:32 --> 00:13:35 So, you know, blame my memory. Blame it on that? Okay.
00:13:36 --> 00:13:40 But just by the final correction, just in case we edit everything else,

00:14:23 --> 00:14:28 Oh, and just a reminder, you know, got a lot of feedback about last week's show
00:14:28 --> 00:14:31 and our guest, Mr. Larry Borenhill.
00:14:31 --> 00:14:36 Just keep in mind, they're doing their book signing tomorrow over at Eastside
00:14:36 --> 00:14:38 Charter in Wilmington, Delaware.
00:14:39 --> 00:14:43 Starting at, I think it's, what time did you say? Six?
00:14:44 --> 00:14:48 Yeah, I think it was roughly. Yeah, I think it's six o'clock. Yeah. And until 7.30.
00:14:48 --> 00:14:54 So if you get a chance to stop over, support the brother, buy a book,
00:14:55 --> 00:14:59 you know, and get a sign when you go. So, all right.
00:15:00 --> 00:15:03 All right. Let's see. Got, you know,
00:15:04 --> 00:15:11 remember back in the day, there was a very popular commercial where it involved
00:15:11 --> 00:15:15 the selling of a cassette tape.
00:15:15 --> 00:15:20 For those of you that know what cassette tapes are or remember what they are.
00:15:20 --> 00:15:25 You know, we used to use cassette tapes for everything at one time.
00:15:25 --> 00:15:26 Of course, that was so long ago.
00:15:27 --> 00:15:34 And the commercial, it would say, is it live or is it Memorex?
00:15:34 --> 00:15:39 Okay. Yeah, remember the Memorex commercials? Yeah. I do. Yeah, so.
00:15:39 --> 00:15:44 Well, this story sort of reminds you of that commercial.
00:15:46 --> 00:15:51 And what we're dealing with now, and whether it's live or whether it's Memorex.
00:15:52 --> 00:16:00 And that is AI-generated personalities, singers, and music.
00:16:01 --> 00:16:08 So, you know, just like we can't stop talking about our federal government and
00:16:08 --> 00:16:15 our leader, the free world, right now, AI is just the big of the subject right now.
00:16:16 --> 00:16:24 And so I didn't know much about this particular person until this weekend when
00:16:24 --> 00:16:27 I kind of stumbled across the interview that she did.
00:16:27 --> 00:16:32 And I must admit, the story just kind of fascinated me.
00:16:33 --> 00:16:38 And so I want to see, I want to share with you guys about this story.
00:16:39 --> 00:16:42 So let's see here.
00:16:42 --> 00:16:46 I'm going to read this story to you And so
00:16:46 --> 00:16:49 you can see how fascinating this is There's a

00:17:37 --> 00:17:40 accumulating millions of streams across platforms. Thank you.
00:17:41 --> 00:17:46 You can watch this video to learn more about the creator on Zanay Monet,
00:17:46 --> 00:17:48 and there's a link to the video.
00:17:49 --> 00:17:52 Now, just a little bit about it.
00:17:52 --> 00:17:59 It says the record deal, which was signed in September 2025,
00:18:00 --> 00:18:07 it was announced that Jones signed the multimillion-dollar deal for Zanay Monet
00:18:07 --> 00:18:09 with the independent label.
00:18:10 --> 00:18:16 Popularity in the charting. Monet's songs have become popular quickly with millions
00:18:16 --> 00:18:19 of streams and appearances on the Billboard charts,
00:18:20 --> 00:18:26 including the adult R&B airplay charts and hot gospel song charts.
00:18:27 --> 00:18:30 And she's getting radio play as well.
00:18:31 --> 00:18:35 Now, of course, there's always a controversy when it comes to this type of stuff.
00:18:35 --> 00:18:40 It says the rise of Zania Monet, they, along with other AI-generated artists,
00:18:40 --> 00:18:42 has sparked debates in the music
00:18:42 --> 00:18:47 industry about the role of artificial intelligence versus human artists.
00:18:49 --> 00:18:52 So that's just a little bit about that.
00:18:52 --> 00:19:00 Now, also, there's another part of the controversy, whereas people kept saying,
00:19:00 --> 00:19:06 when you hear her songs and listen to her words,
00:19:06 --> 00:19:09 that her voice sounds very familiar.
00:19:10 --> 00:19:15 And they're saying that she sounds a lot like K.
00:19:15 --> 00:19:18 Michelle, the singer K. Michelle.
00:19:19 --> 00:19:24 But Kay Michelle has had a lot of people reach out to her and say,
00:19:24 --> 00:19:26 hey, I'm really feeling you're a new song.
00:19:27 --> 00:19:31 You know, that's really a great song that she did.
00:19:31 --> 00:19:34 And she's like, what are you talking about? And then, you know,
00:19:34 --> 00:19:39 of course, she was told about this and she went and listened and she agrees
00:19:39 --> 00:19:41 herself that it sounds like her.
00:19:41 --> 00:19:50 And so Kate Michelle is luring up Because she's planning to sue About them using
00:19:50 --> 00:19:54 her voice And this is not the first time that Kate Michelle said That her voice
00:19:54 --> 00:19:57 has been used in AI-generated songs.
00:19:58 --> 00:20:06 There's also a video They have created a video artist That has her singing on
00:20:06 --> 00:20:12 a couple different videos Of a couple of her songs Have you seen any of this yet? Yes, I have.
00:20:13 --> 00:20:23 What do you think of the presentation of who and what they have put together
00:20:23 --> 00:20:27 as far as her look and everything? So...
00:20:29 --> 00:20:36 First of all, I think it's wild because now anybody can create a character that
00:20:36 --> 00:20:38 can create music and sing it and all that.
00:20:39 --> 00:20:43 So I think that it's really going to mess up the industry.
00:20:43 --> 00:20:47 And, you know, kind of like, you know, even when we talked before about AI putting
00:20:47 --> 00:20:53 people out of jobs, this is going to go for entertainers, producers, directors.
00:20:54 --> 00:21:01 You know, songwriters, you know all that so i agree i mean i i do agree i think it's wild and,
00:21:02 --> 00:21:05 dave to be honest i don't know if it's like i don't know if it's
00:21:05 --> 00:21:08 anything we can stop because people are like keep on
00:21:08 --> 00:21:11 making songs and whether they're associated with
00:21:11 --> 00:21:14 an artist or not because you remember i told you that that
00:21:14 --> 00:21:17 sono sunu that was the same program i
00:21:17 --> 00:21:20 used to make a song about the campground so that
00:21:20 --> 00:21:23 was the same program yeah yeah for the campground yeah
00:21:23 --> 00:21:27 i remember you playing that yeah yeah so you
00:21:27 --> 00:21:30 know it's kind of like now is that a free is that
00:21:30 --> 00:21:33 a free program yes but
00:21:33 --> 00:21:36 i think with the free version you can only do so much like you
00:21:36 --> 00:21:41 may only be able to like make four or five songs and but the the song that they
00:21:41 --> 00:21:45 made for the campground was kind of catchy you know like a country mute and
00:21:45 --> 00:21:49 you know like you can specify so much so i just put in some basic words about
00:21:49 --> 00:21:54 the campground and i said make it sound like a country song you know And, um,
00:21:54 --> 00:21:59 it was good now on the flip side, the part about K Michelle,
00:21:59 --> 00:22:03 I feel that, well, let me ask a question.
00:22:04 --> 00:22:10 Well, it's a question, but not a question. If this, and what's the lady's name?
00:22:11 --> 00:22:14 Xanthia? Xania. Xania. Okay.
00:22:14 --> 00:22:19 Let's say Xania was a real person and she sounded like K. Michelle.
00:22:20 --> 00:22:25 You know what? Would anybody be tripping? No, because right now in real life,
00:22:25 --> 00:22:27 we have a lot of these female artists that sounded like.
00:22:28 --> 00:22:31 Yeah. So, I mean, that's kind of my thing. Like, okay, she sounds like K.
00:22:31 --> 00:22:39 If they they think she sounds like k michelle but i mean like one how do you prove it,
00:22:39 --> 00:22:42 and then two is kind of like there are a lot
00:22:42 --> 00:22:45 of people who sound like other people you know yeah
00:22:45 --> 00:22:51 so so my thing about that is just i don't think she can come after her for that
00:22:51 --> 00:22:59 unless they know for a fact that they you know try to i don't know i don't know
00:22:59 --> 00:23:03 i mean in my mind it's like a lot of people sound alike like if she was a real
00:23:03 --> 00:23:04 person nobody would be tripping,
00:23:05 --> 00:23:08 well i'm sorry they would be tripping they would be tripping they would still
00:23:08 --> 00:23:12 be tripping yeah you know that's uh yeah somebody's gonna find some hate somewhere
00:23:12 --> 00:23:19 you know but i know i was listening i was looking at one of her videos now in
00:23:19 --> 00:23:21 this particular song and video.
00:23:23 --> 00:23:28 She sounds like, to me, you can hear Beyonce and you can hear,
00:23:28 --> 00:23:31 okay, Michelle in her voice.
00:23:31 --> 00:23:33 Definitely. You can definitely hear Beyonce.
00:23:33 --> 00:23:35 I'm telling you, you definitely hear Beyonce.
00:23:36 --> 00:23:43 And I'm like, wow. You know, I'm saying, God, she sounds like Beyonce here to me, you know?
00:23:44 --> 00:23:49 But then you're looking at her and you say, okay, well, definitely she don't look like Beyonce.
00:23:49 --> 00:23:52 Say and the way that the way they chose to present
00:23:52 --> 00:23:59 her in the video form of her singing and everything you know of course you know
00:23:59 --> 00:24:03 she's very appealing you know she you know they're making sure that she's easy
00:24:03 --> 00:24:09 on the eyes and you know and she you know and definitely she looks like she's
00:24:09 --> 00:24:11 singing because she's you know,
00:24:12 --> 00:24:16 It's, you know, it's not, it doesn't look fake. It doesn't look fake.
00:24:17 --> 00:24:20 They've done a very good job of what they've done with it.
00:24:20 --> 00:24:26 It just looks, but you can tell there's some kind of futuristic kind of style
00:24:26 --> 00:24:27 to it. You know what I mean?
00:24:28 --> 00:24:31 Yeah, so, but this is where we are, folks.
00:24:31 --> 00:24:40 I was listening to the interview with the young lady, Nikki Jones, who created her.
00:24:42 --> 00:24:45 And even in talking about her because she was
00:24:45 --> 00:24:48 on tamarin hall show and she was talking about
00:24:48 --> 00:24:52 this multi-million dollar deal and she
00:24:52 --> 00:24:54 was like you know kind of you could tell she was kind of
00:24:54 --> 00:24:57 hesitant to really say too much about it you know
00:24:57 --> 00:25:00 because she's got she was
00:25:00 --> 00:25:07 able to get a deal for this imaginary person and you got real life artists that
00:25:07 --> 00:25:14 can't walk into the same place and get a deal and have just as much talent or
00:25:14 --> 00:25:18 better than this person does. Well, this made-up person does.
00:25:19 --> 00:25:26 And this is what's scary is because, you know, he is right now,
00:25:26 --> 00:25:33 Zania Monet is being credited with being the first AI-generated artist to get radio play.
00:25:35 --> 00:25:38 This is where we are. Yeah. and
00:25:38 --> 00:25:44 she's got like five or six uh four i've seen at least four or five of her singles
00:25:44 --> 00:25:51 on spotify right now unbelievable you know so i just wanted to talk about that
00:25:51 --> 00:25:56 i just said you know especially me being a music kind of guy i was like.
00:25:57 --> 00:26:02 These people that have been singing for years and out here, you know,
00:26:03 --> 00:26:06 trying to get every dime, every nickel they can.
00:26:06 --> 00:26:14 And here comes this person, not even real, getting a multi-million dollar contract.
00:26:14 --> 00:26:19 And get this, she owns all the masters, too. I'm sure.
00:26:21 --> 00:26:24 You know because he got this multi-million dollar
00:26:24 --> 00:26:27 deal and was able to own the masters to
00:26:27 --> 00:26:35 this person i think it's i think it's you know i think it's a i think it's a
00:26:35 --> 00:26:40 little on the weird side but the fact that it's a black woman that came up with
00:26:40 --> 00:26:45 this and it's not like a you know in real Like we always have the white,
00:26:45 --> 00:26:50 the white managers and, and all the, you know,
00:26:50 --> 00:26:53 the backing is always somebody like a Clyde Davis or somebody like that,
00:26:54 --> 00:26:56 that's making all the money off of us.
00:26:56 --> 00:27:02 I, I, I just feel, I'm kind of glad that it's not a white person and I hate
00:27:02 --> 00:27:06 to put it this way so bluntly that created this, this character. Yeah.
00:27:08 --> 00:27:12 And was making money off of it. That it is at least one of us.
00:27:12 --> 00:27:17 You know? I agree. But, you know, I feel like this puts the word out. Not the word out.
00:27:18 --> 00:27:21 The lookout for more people doing this. Because it's like.
00:27:22 --> 00:27:25 I'm sure there's already a lot of people doing it. We do. Because they think
00:27:25 --> 00:27:26 about it. I mean, if she's R&B.
00:27:27 --> 00:27:30 Okay. Well, somebody got to be the first AI rapper to get a record deal.
00:27:30 --> 00:27:31 Somebody got to be the first AI. Well, we did.
00:27:32 --> 00:27:35 Remember, we talked about that AI rapper a couple years ago.
00:27:35 --> 00:27:37 Yeah. I remember that. Remember that?
00:27:37 --> 00:27:42 But, you know, I think they discontinued him. Right, they did. They did.
00:27:43 --> 00:27:46 Yeah. And I think, was he saying the N-word or something? Yeah.
00:27:47 --> 00:27:50 He said something by white people. Yeah, yeah, no business. Yeah.
00:27:50 --> 00:27:55 But, you know, and Dave, not just music. Like, I'm thinking about, like, art.
00:27:55 --> 00:28:01 Like, okay, like, what's going to be the first AI-created artwork to sell for so much money?
00:28:01 --> 00:28:04 And let's not even talk about movies and TV. I know.
00:28:04 --> 00:28:08 I know. We're not even getting into it. Yeah, we hadn't even talked about that yet.
00:28:08 --> 00:28:12 Because, I mean, we already know they can create a, I mean, if AI can create
00:28:12 --> 00:28:16 a book in less than an hour, you know it's going to have a full-fledged movie.
00:28:17 --> 00:28:21 Yeah, that's true. That is true. TV shows, all that.
00:28:22 --> 00:28:28 Well, you know, just saying to you guys, you know, go out there and take a listen
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30 to her. See what you think.
00:28:30 --> 00:28:34 And I'm going to say, the songs are nice. I mean, and, you know,
00:28:34 --> 00:28:40 this person who created her wrote all the, wrote all the words and, you know,
00:28:40 --> 00:28:45 and she's been credited with being a great poet, you know, so,
00:28:45 --> 00:28:49 so, and these, these, these.
00:28:50 --> 00:28:54 These words and these songs that, I mean, she's written for this artist,
00:28:54 --> 00:28:57 for this AI-generated artist, are all coming from personal, you know,
00:28:58 --> 00:29:00 her personal story, you know, so.

00:31:33 --> 00:31:33 I'm dying,
00:31:36 --> 00:31:38 sir. Sir, it's fine.
00:31:40 --> 00:31:45 Move to the back. Move to the back. I'm going to do my math.
00:31:45 --> 00:31:51 It has no form of knowledge and it's a big bang. A big bang.
00:32:16 --> 00:32:23 Yeah okay so i don't know folks i don't know if you guys have been able to check this out.
00:32:23 --> 00:32:29 I know I came across my feed over the weekend, and I was like,
00:32:29 --> 00:32:34 you know, when you first look at this, you see there's this guy.
00:32:35 --> 00:32:41 He's a large, it looks like he might be about 6'4", 6'5", or something,
00:32:42 --> 00:32:47 black man who is standing there, and he has a bag in his hand,
00:32:47 --> 00:32:53 But there is a white woman who also has a hold of the same bag.
00:32:54 --> 00:32:58 And she's grabbing at it and he's grabbing at it.
00:32:58 --> 00:33:07 Then you see this other white guy who is arguing with the black man who is saying,
00:33:07 --> 00:33:10 stop trying to steal her bag.
00:33:10 --> 00:33:14 Because it looks like he's trying to take the bag away from the woman. Right.
00:33:15 --> 00:33:21 And so forth and so forth. Now, what happens next is that this white guy who's
00:33:21 --> 00:33:28 talking to the guy, now, the black man seemed like he was, I don't know.
00:33:29 --> 00:33:33 When you first see him, I don't know if you think he's kind of slow or maybe
00:33:33 --> 00:33:37 alleviated or something because of the way he's talking,
00:33:38 --> 00:33:43 but he's trying to tell, the white guy is telling him to let the bag go and
00:33:43 --> 00:33:45 stop trying to steal the woman's bag.
00:33:46 --> 00:33:54 The guy, the black man, is trying to tell him it's not her bag, it's his bag.
00:33:55 --> 00:34:01 Well, the white guy had once said nothing, to hear nothing of what he's saying.
00:34:02 --> 00:34:07 And he punches the guy right in the face, almost knocks him out.
00:34:07 --> 00:34:12 You saw that punch, right? Mm-hmm, yeah. He got him really good, you know.
00:34:12 --> 00:34:17 And he's arguing with the guy and you know meanwhile the woman is screaming
00:34:17 --> 00:34:22 this is my bag let it go let it go now one thing I had to give this dude credit
00:34:22 --> 00:34:25 he was not letting that bag go did you notice that?
00:34:26 --> 00:34:31 He had a grip on that bag he was not gonna let that bag go but the woman wasn't
00:34:31 --> 00:34:36 letting go of the bag either and she's up there saying it's her bag it's her bag.
00:34:37 --> 00:34:42 And he's you know so the white guy of course believes her And,
00:34:42 --> 00:34:45 you know, it's trying to get him to let go of the bag.
00:34:46 --> 00:34:49 You see a couple, you hear a couple other voices in the background,
00:34:49 --> 00:34:53 you know, and they're trying to tell the white guy, you know,
00:34:53 --> 00:34:57 that he's the one that's stealing the bag.
00:34:58 --> 00:35:02 They said, you know, when the police get there, the police said,
00:35:03 --> 00:35:06 that the woman was confused. Well.
00:35:08 --> 00:35:11 And apparently there's other people that said that's not the first time this
00:35:11 --> 00:35:14 woman has done something like that, you know?
00:35:14 --> 00:35:18 So, but maybe she's the real thief.
00:35:19 --> 00:35:22 Well, that's, and that's what they're saying that she is.
00:35:23 --> 00:35:27 And apparently, you know, the guy's trying to talk to the people and trying
00:35:27 --> 00:35:31 to tell, cause a cop shows up and he's trying to, the cop is trying to talk
00:35:31 --> 00:35:36 to him and say, let the bag go. and he's trying to say, it's my bag, it's my bag.
00:35:36 --> 00:35:39 He said, all you got to do is just look in the bag.
00:35:39 --> 00:35:44 Okay? And when they looked in the, you know, finally, they looked in the bag
00:35:44 --> 00:35:49 and they found, you know, his ID, his wallet, his keys, his personal items.
00:35:49 --> 00:35:56 So he wasn't lying. Everything, the bag belonged to him. But they never took the time to look in it.
00:35:57 --> 00:36:02 They just assumed because he was a large black man, he was white.
00:36:03 --> 00:36:10 That it was her bad. Okay? So, and it was really frustrating because when I
00:36:10 --> 00:36:14 first saw it come up on my newsfeed, on my feed, and I kept saying,
00:36:15 --> 00:36:20 well, why would this guy try to take this bag? But then when I heard him saying,
00:36:20 --> 00:36:24 it's my bag, look in the bag, and he's trying to get them to look in the bag,
00:36:25 --> 00:36:28 and they didn't want to hear anything he had to say.
00:36:30 --> 00:36:34 What was your thoughts when you saw this? I mean, the same thing was interesting
00:36:34 --> 00:36:38 because first, just knowing that it's online and we're watching it,
00:36:38 --> 00:36:40 I was like, okay, there's got to be a twist.
00:36:41 --> 00:36:45 And I was just kind of waiting for that moment where it, you know,
00:36:45 --> 00:36:47 switched up and we saw what it really was.
00:36:48 --> 00:36:51 But as it kept going on, you started thinking to yourself, well,
00:36:51 --> 00:36:55 it must be this guy's bag because the way he was holding on to the bag,
00:36:55 --> 00:37:00 he was not, he knew if he let that bag go, he probably wasn't going to say it again.
00:37:00 --> 00:37:04 And, you know, I think this is one of the things too where, and I mean,
00:37:05 --> 00:37:10 Dave, I'm sure black people do it too, but, you know, we make assumptions on
00:37:10 --> 00:37:12 situations based on what people look like.
00:37:12 --> 00:37:17 Have you ever seen the other social experiment where there's
00:37:17 --> 00:37:20 a okay so there's a little
00:37:20 --> 00:37:24 black boy walking down the street and in
00:37:24 --> 00:37:28 like new york something like that and when he gets in front of an alleyway somebody
00:37:28 --> 00:37:34 like grabs him and pulls him in the alleyway and he like yells everyone kept
00:37:34 --> 00:37:40 on walking but then they had a little a little white girl of course yep and
00:37:40 --> 00:37:43 i mean it There's a difference between boys and girls, too.
00:37:43 --> 00:37:48 But, I mean, just how many people ran up and tried to save this white girl was,
00:37:48 --> 00:37:50 you know, something else.
00:37:50 --> 00:37:55 Yeah, but, you know, there's been experiments like this over the years.
00:37:56 --> 00:38:03 You know, and, you know, the people, the psychiatrists and psychologists,
00:38:03 --> 00:38:11 all of them are social, you know, doing these social experiments as far as racism and everything goes.
00:38:11 --> 00:38:17 And they still can't seem to get the results and opinions together to make a lot of sense.
00:38:17 --> 00:38:24 I know I was reading in this, during the story, it said, listen to this.
00:38:24 --> 00:38:28 This is that experts warn about legal fallout and lasting trauma.
00:38:28 --> 00:38:33 They said though the woman walked away with a brief apology,
00:38:33 --> 00:38:36 she may not legally be off the hook.
00:38:37 --> 00:38:43 Civil rights lawyers say false accusations like this can lead to lawsuits or
00:38:43 --> 00:38:48 criminal charges if file reports are proven baseless.
00:38:48 --> 00:38:54 The attacker may also face battery charges, especially since the video clearly
00:38:54 --> 00:38:56 shows an unprovoked assault.
00:38:57 --> 00:39:09 The situation raises broader concerns about how quickly public has bias and can lead to harm.
00:39:09 --> 00:39:21 We know that this was a reverse situation. you know and you know this was a black person.
00:39:22 --> 00:39:28 And there was a white man holding on to the bag, or a white woman.
00:39:29 --> 00:39:32 And that the situation would have went a little bit differently.
00:39:32 --> 00:39:37 Do you think that they would have swung on a white, that same guy would have
00:39:37 --> 00:39:40 swung on a white person like he swung on a black person?
00:39:41 --> 00:39:42 Probably not. No, definitely.
00:39:43 --> 00:39:48 No, I'm almost positive that wouldn't happen. So, you know, when you look at
00:39:48 --> 00:39:53 this, it just says a lot about, you know, the situation at hand and all the
00:39:53 --> 00:39:58 problems that we still have in life as far as all the racial tensions.
00:39:58 --> 00:40:02 You know, we're still climbing walls, man. We're still climbing walls,
00:40:02 --> 00:40:05 man, you know, to get to the other side, if you feel me.
00:40:06 --> 00:40:12 So, but I just thought this was a very, very interesting situation and a very,
00:40:13 --> 00:40:16 you know, also says a lot about the world that we live in,
00:40:17 --> 00:40:22 and the way things are still perpetuating as far as that is concerned.
00:40:22 --> 00:40:28 Anything else you wanted to add about that? No. I mean, the guy who was trying
00:40:28 --> 00:40:29 to punch him was just crazy.
00:40:31 --> 00:40:36 Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I mean, he hit that dude hard too, man.
00:40:36 --> 00:40:40 Yeah, he did. And the guy was like, man, why'd you hit me? Right.
00:40:40 --> 00:40:46 You know, so. So, but hopefully, hopefully the people, well,
00:40:46 --> 00:40:51 that guy that did, I know he tried to be a good Samaritan, but he took it a
00:40:51 --> 00:40:53 little too far. He really did.
00:40:53 --> 00:40:57 And especially since the guy is saying the whole time, hey, just look in the bag.
00:40:58 --> 00:41:04 You'll see it's my bag, you know. So, man, we got to do better,
00:41:04 --> 00:41:05 man. That's all I can say.
00:41:05 --> 00:41:12 We got to do better. So, all right, we're going to move on to our next story, which is...
00:41:13 --> 00:41:18 Now, LeBron always seems to get his name somehow and everything.
00:41:18 --> 00:41:22 You ever notice that? He tweets on everything. Yeah, he likes to comment.
00:41:22 --> 00:41:30 He got a comment, you know. So this is LeBron had a comment about this,
00:41:31 --> 00:41:36 what happened over the weekend in college football in a football game.
00:41:36 --> 00:41:38 Hold on for one moment.
00:41:39 --> 00:41:41 Okay. Okay, so LeBron James calls
00:41:41 --> 00:41:47 out Texas A&M cop after a shoulder bump incident with football players.
00:41:47 --> 00:41:49 So this is the backdrop.
00:41:50 --> 00:41:56 It says, after footage of an incident involving a cop in Texas and college football
00:41:56 --> 00:42:00 players went viral, LeBron James is calling for the cop's suspension.
00:42:01 --> 00:42:06 On Saturday, November 15th, during the Texas A&M and South Carolina game,
00:42:06 --> 00:42:11 a white Texas State trooper appeared to shoulder check at least one black player
00:42:11 --> 00:42:14 as they walked through a stadium tunnel.
00:42:15 --> 00:42:22 In a clip circulating online, South Carolina player Nick Havert and Oscar Attaway
00:42:22 --> 00:42:26 III were making their way through the tunnel fresh off of Harvard's stunning
00:42:26 --> 00:42:28 80-yard touchdown catch.
00:42:29 --> 00:42:35 No less when the trooper can be seen stepping into Attaway's path and bumping him.
00:42:35 --> 00:42:39 The trooper then turns back towards the players, pointing and appearing to scold
00:42:39 --> 00:42:45 them, even as both athletes visibly tried to de-escalate. raising their hands
00:42:45 --> 00:42:46 and keeping their distance.
00:42:47 --> 00:42:52 The moment quickly went viral across social media, drawing outrage from fans
00:42:52 --> 00:42:53 and the professional athletes alike.
00:42:54 --> 00:42:57 That A&M cop needs to be suspended.
00:42:57 --> 00:43:05 That was premeditated and corny AF as he went out of his way to start some,
00:43:05 --> 00:43:08 you know what, but do better, man.
00:43:09 --> 00:43:13 The NBA star wrote on X.
00:43:13 --> 00:43:16 Former NFL tight end Benjamin Watson
00:43:16 --> 00:43:19 also denounced the encounter law enforcement at
00:43:19 --> 00:43:23 the Aggie football game mad because South
00:43:23 --> 00:43:26 Carolina Gamecock scored a TD he
00:43:26 --> 00:43:35 began in a post on X this trash by this clown showing players seriously what
00:43:35 --> 00:43:41 are you doing the Texas Department of Public Safety said in a statement on X
00:43:41 --> 00:43:43 that it is aware of the incident.
00:43:43 --> 00:43:47 The DPS trooper involved was sent home from the game.
00:43:47 --> 00:43:54 Our Office of Inspector General is also aware the incident will be further looking
00:43:54 --> 00:43:58 into the matter, the department said, adding that no additional information
00:43:58 --> 00:44:00 will be released at this time.
00:44:00 --> 00:44:06 The game ultimately ended with Texas A&M narrowly beating South Carolina, 31-30.
00:44:07 --> 00:44:14 Now, I was actually watching this game at the time, I was over a friend of mine's house and,
00:44:16 --> 00:44:20 It was me and three other people, three other guys. We were sitting there watching
00:44:20 --> 00:44:23 the game. And we all saw when it happened.
00:44:24 --> 00:44:30 And the context of what happened was the guy just scored this ADR touchdown.
00:44:32 --> 00:44:38 And he's running. He kind of ran to the back of the end zone.
00:44:38 --> 00:44:43 And you see him kind of going down the tunnel, which is right there at the end
00:44:43 --> 00:44:48 zone. But as he's walking through the tunnel, he's grabbing the back of his
00:44:48 --> 00:44:52 leg because apparently he pulled a hamstring, okay?
00:44:53 --> 00:44:56 And it was clearly that, you know, that's the reason he kept,
00:44:56 --> 00:44:59 he was trying to walk it off. That's what he was doing.
00:45:00 --> 00:45:05 Meanwhile, one of his teammates had ran up alongside him to congratulate him,
00:45:06 --> 00:45:10 you know, not saying that he was having problems with his hamstring at first,
00:45:10 --> 00:45:12 but he ran up just to congratulate him.
00:45:12 --> 00:45:15 And they're walking through the tunnel.
00:45:15 --> 00:45:24 All of a sudden, the cop starts walking towards them and in between them and
00:45:24 --> 00:45:28 the cop bumps them and then turns around.
00:45:29 --> 00:45:35 As they turn around, they're trying to... They didn't take anything up because
00:45:35 --> 00:45:40 they thought it wasn't that big of a deal, but the cop made a big deal out the whole situation.
00:45:40 --> 00:45:44 And he's up there pointing at them and trying to big-time them.
00:45:45 --> 00:45:48 You see them put their hands up like, hey, we didn't mean anything.
00:45:51 --> 00:45:54 That was an accident, you know, and the cops, like, giving them the business,
00:45:54 --> 00:45:57 man. And they turned around, walked back towards the field.
00:45:58 --> 00:46:02 As soon as it happened, we all looked at each other in the room and said, did you see that?
00:46:02 --> 00:46:07 You know, because we knew, we already knew that wasn't going to go away quietly.
00:46:08 --> 00:46:15 And the announcers, you can tell when the announcers know something is good.
00:46:15 --> 00:46:17 They act like it never happened.
00:46:18 --> 00:46:21 You know, they didn't want to talk about it. and
00:46:21 --> 00:46:25 they just said oh it looked like he pulled his hamstring that's all they said
00:46:25 --> 00:46:30 they didn't talk about the what the cop did or anything so it was later on that
00:46:30 --> 00:46:36 you hear you hear one of the commentators say well you know i guess that cop
00:46:36 --> 00:46:39 that bumped the the players earlier i guess,
00:46:39 --> 00:46:42 he must have been he must have been relieved of
00:46:42 --> 00:46:45 his duty i haven't seen him back in the tunnel so somebody must have
00:46:45 --> 00:46:48 said something to them to say hey you gotta at least talk about
00:46:48 --> 00:46:51 it you know so but they didn't
00:46:51 --> 00:46:54 talk about it when it happened they you know so
00:46:54 --> 00:46:59 and they didn't you know but you can see clearly and they didn't do they didn't
00:46:59 --> 00:47:04 do a bunch of replays about it either so but you know but you can see clearly
00:47:04 --> 00:47:08 that that cop was not having none of that they you know and even though the
00:47:08 --> 00:47:12 guys wasn't they didn't do anything malicious at all they didn't have to bump the cop.
00:47:13 --> 00:47:19 You know, I know you didn't see this doing what happened, but did you see it afterwards?
00:47:19 --> 00:47:22 Yeah. I mean, I can't lie. Saturday, it was all over the internet.
00:47:23 --> 00:47:27 Yeah, it was, right? Yeah. I've probably seen it maybe a hundred times.
00:47:28 --> 00:47:33 And you, those football players didn't mean anything purposely, right?
00:47:33 --> 00:47:36 No. And for the most part, it looked like when they were walking back,
00:47:36 --> 00:47:40 they were kind of talking to each other. They weren't even like paying attention
00:47:40 --> 00:47:44 to the cop and he, you know, just kind of walked in between them on purpose
00:47:44 --> 00:47:47 and putting out his elbows.
00:47:47 --> 00:47:52 So, yeah. And he really, the cop was one who really was the aggressor of the
00:47:52 --> 00:47:53 whole thing because he's the one.
00:47:53 --> 00:48:00 He moved his arm in the way of the one guy and he bumped the one guy really good, you know. Yeah.
00:48:01 --> 00:48:05 But you know what? I want to give it to the maturity of the football players,
00:48:05 --> 00:48:08 too, because, you know, the one player looked like he wanted to turn around.
00:48:08 --> 00:48:12 And the other one, you know, kind of ushered, you know, like,
00:48:12 --> 00:48:14 come on, come on, like, we ain't got work, you know what I mean?
00:48:14 --> 00:48:19 So I'm glad that they were, even though the cop was not mature enough,
00:48:19 --> 00:48:24 they were mature enough that, you know, they could kind of dissipate that situation.
00:48:25 --> 00:48:30 Yeah, yeah. Yeah, they definitely were the more mature in the situation.
00:48:30 --> 00:48:33 And that was no young. That guy didn't look like a young cop.
00:48:33 --> 00:48:35 He looked like he was an older cop. You know what I mean?
00:48:36 --> 00:48:39 What I mean by older, he probably. A good old boy. but he was a good old boy.
00:48:39 --> 00:48:42 Yeah, that's what he looked like. He looked like he was between 40 and 50 years
00:48:42 --> 00:48:44 old, right? You know, somewhere around there.
00:48:44 --> 00:48:47 And he was, you know, he wasn't no young guy, you know, so.
00:48:48 --> 00:48:56 But, hey, I just felt, you know, would that have happened if those were two
00:48:56 --> 00:48:57 white players walking up that.
00:48:58 --> 00:49:03 Walking up that tunnel? Of course not. Yeah, yeah. You kind of got that impression.
00:49:03 --> 00:49:05 You know, you kind of got that impression.
00:49:05 --> 00:49:11 You know, we got to look at things for what they are.
00:49:11 --> 00:49:15 And, you know, like these last two stories we talked about, perception is always
00:49:15 --> 00:49:19 a very big thing when it comes to racial situations.
00:49:19 --> 00:49:22 You know, we're finding out that a lot of these celebrities,
00:49:23 --> 00:49:26 you know, they're going back in the archives and finding all this stuff that
00:49:26 --> 00:49:30 people that said back in the day talking about the opposite colors or other
00:49:30 --> 00:49:33 races or whatever, and they're pulling them up.
00:49:33 --> 00:49:36 And of course, you know, people are getting canceled over that whole thing.
00:49:36 --> 00:49:39 You know, it's easy to make a bad decision,
00:49:40 --> 00:49:45 And then say to yourself later on, in hindsight, maybe I should have handled
00:49:45 --> 00:49:46 that a little differently.
00:49:46 --> 00:49:49 You know, especially when the whole world is looking at you.
00:49:50 --> 00:49:55 You know, and in that case, that was a very big game. And there were a lot of
00:49:55 --> 00:49:57 people watching that game.
00:49:57 --> 00:50:01 And you're going to do something like that when you got the whole world looking at you.
00:50:02 --> 00:50:05 You know, so I don't know. I don't know.
00:50:05 --> 00:50:10 We got to figure this out, man. We got to figure out how to be friendlier,
00:50:10 --> 00:50:14 you know, look, AI wouldn't have acted that way.
00:50:15 --> 00:50:21 You know what I mean? Maybe. Maybe. You never know. You never know. You never know.
00:50:21 --> 00:50:27 You never know. So, but, you know, hopefully, you know, I mean,
00:50:27 --> 00:50:31 I hate to see the cop lose his job, but if that's the way that this guy has
00:50:31 --> 00:50:34 been acting all along, because, you know, when you see something like that,
00:50:34 --> 00:50:36 as small as that situation was,
00:50:37 --> 00:50:40 Lord forbid what happens in bigger situations.
00:50:43 --> 00:50:46 But this is where we are. So I just thought it was interesting.
00:50:47 --> 00:50:50 Like I said, I actually was watching the game when it happened,
00:50:50 --> 00:50:54 and I knew it wasn't going to go away as soon as it happened.
00:50:54 --> 00:50:55 I knew that wasn't going away.
00:50:55 --> 00:51:00 And especially, you know, because, you know, we don't play about our kids, man.
00:51:00 --> 00:51:03 You know, and those are young men. those are somebody's kids
00:51:03 --> 00:51:09 you know what i mean so so i know
00:51:09 --> 00:51:12 you guys have your opinion about that moment i'm sure i'm
00:51:12 --> 00:51:17 sure you you will let it be known so definitely make sure to give us an idea
00:51:17 --> 00:51:24 what you guys think about that all right well i guess that was uh the last story
00:51:24 --> 00:51:29 so we're gonna go to dave's corner and learn his favorite part of the show and
00:51:29 --> 00:51:32 this is my thought on Dave's Corner.
00:51:33 --> 00:51:38 Did you watch any football game last night, Leonard? No. No, okay.
00:51:38 --> 00:51:42 You can tell Leonard's a football game.
00:51:42 --> 00:51:46 I mean, I said last night. I meant Sunday night.
00:51:47 --> 00:51:51 Days are getting away from us. The Eagles game on Sunday night.
00:51:51 --> 00:51:54 You know, Leonard's supposed to be a big Eagles fan, but, you know, no comment.
00:51:55 --> 00:52:02 So, anyway, the Eagles pull out a 16-9 victory over Detroit Lions.
00:52:02 --> 00:52:10 Now, this was supposed to be a big game for both teams because they have aspirations
00:52:10 --> 00:52:19 of being two of the last men standing when it comes to the playoffs in the next couple of months.
00:52:19 --> 00:52:25 Of course, we'd like to see our Eagles get back to the Super Bowl and defend their title.
00:52:25 --> 00:52:29 This is one of the teams they're probably going to end up seeing again when
00:52:29 --> 00:52:30 the playoffs come around.
00:52:30 --> 00:52:35 Eagles win the game. but we're not happy about the way the Eagles have been playing.
00:52:36 --> 00:52:41 So I got a very simple question. I mean, I know you've watched some of the games
00:52:41 --> 00:52:44 over the season so far, right? Right.
00:52:44 --> 00:52:53 Do you think this Eagles team is good enough to go back to the Super Bowl and win it again? Yes.
00:52:54 --> 00:52:58 Okay, what makes you think that way? So, I mean, the games I've seen,
00:52:59 --> 00:53:01 of course, the games I've seen, they all won. But, you know,
00:53:01 --> 00:53:08 I think one, they have the momentum, you know, of course, coming off last year, that's number one.
00:53:09 --> 00:53:16 And then two, you know, I just feel like Jalen Hurts is a, you know, a great quarterback.
00:53:17 --> 00:53:18 And other than that, you know.
00:53:19 --> 00:53:23 Even though I may not watch the Eagles, I'm definitely an Eagles fan,
00:53:23 --> 00:53:26 and I'm going to root for them, and I'm going to speak positive words.
00:53:29 --> 00:53:34 Speak positive words, okay. Mr. Positive over here, okay. All right.
00:53:35 --> 00:53:37 Well, and my thinking is this, okay.
00:53:38 --> 00:53:42 All right, break it down, Stephen A. Oh, no, no, no. I'm sorry,
00:53:42 --> 00:53:44 David A. No, no, don't call me Stephen A.
00:53:45 --> 00:53:48 Stephen A is kind of in hot water these days all the time. Yeah.
00:53:49 --> 00:53:54 David A. I'm inside David P I think the Eagles can definitely get back to the
00:53:54 --> 00:54:00 Super Bowl and they probably will win it if they get there, they probably will win I mean,
00:54:00 --> 00:54:09 one thing we've learned about the Eagles if you put them in a situation to get into a big game,
00:54:10 --> 00:54:16 they'll probably go ahead and get to that game and probably win it's been an
00:54:16 --> 00:54:21 interesting year so far and because the offense is not playing like they did last year,
00:54:22 --> 00:54:26 but their defense is starting to play very, very well.
00:54:26 --> 00:54:31 And these guys have beaten a lot of teams that everybody thought that they would lose to.
00:54:31 --> 00:54:35 They're 8-2 right now with seven games still left to play.
00:54:37 --> 00:54:40 You know, I think that they're probably going to finish one of the top three
00:54:40 --> 00:54:43 teams in the league going into the playoffs.
00:54:43 --> 00:54:50 So we'll see. We'll see what happens. I think they will do enough to be able to win.
00:54:51 --> 00:54:54 Like you said, Jalen Hurts is a great quarterback.
00:54:55 --> 00:55:01 He may not be the best quarterback in the league, but he's the best quarterback for this team.
00:55:02 --> 00:55:07 You know, because all he does is win, man. All he does is win.
00:55:07 --> 00:55:09 So it's going to be interesting.
00:55:09 --> 00:55:13 You know, that is a question as
00:55:13 --> 00:55:16 far as what we think about what's going to happen the rest of the season.
00:55:16 --> 00:55:19 After all, we've already crossed the halfway point.
00:55:20 --> 00:55:24 This is definitely where we start looking at the long-range plan,
00:55:25 --> 00:55:29 which is the Super Bowl, getting to the playoffs and the Super Bowl.
00:55:29 --> 00:55:33 So as long as everybody stays healthy, let's go birds.
00:55:33 --> 00:55:36 That's the way I feel about it. It is.
00:55:37 --> 00:55:41 Yeah, there you go. There you go. I know we got a lot of Eagle fans to listen
00:55:41 --> 00:55:46 to the show, so definitely let's root our team, you know, to victory.
00:55:46 --> 00:55:52 You know, let's spell it like the mayor, mayor, Philadelphia.
00:55:52 --> 00:55:58 What did she say? E-G-L-E-G. Yeah, that was all mixed up.
00:55:59 --> 00:56:04 I know. And she was so proud. And she's a former English teacher,
00:56:04 --> 00:56:07 too. She spelled Eagles wrong.
00:56:08 --> 00:56:11 But anyway, well, there you have it, folks.
00:56:11 --> 00:56:16 That's our show for tonight and this week.
00:56:16 --> 00:56:20 And, you know, definitely if you have any comments, definitely...
00:56:21 --> 00:56:25 Definitely make sure you reach out to us and let us know. And I want to make a correction.
00:56:27 --> 00:56:35 I said the book signing is tomorrow. It's actually tonight.
00:56:36 --> 00:56:41 So November 18th, 6 to 730.
00:56:41 --> 00:56:46 So you can always go to the book signing and then listen to us afterwards.
00:56:46 --> 00:56:50 There you go. How about that? Always do this. There you go. But I want to make
