Hosts Dave and Len discuss community and culture in this episode, starting with the Black Superhero Bootcamp for Brooklyn middle-school boys that teaches leadership, emotional regulation, and life skills.
They react to the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting, former President Obama’s response, and the conspiracy theories and security questions that followed.
The show also covers celebrity headlines including Megan Thee Stallion’s accusations against Klay Thompson, a surprising report on the most dangerous states for children, and a light closing with math-themed pickup lines.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:14 I tried to get them to try to see if y'all can win some money,

00:03:09 --> 00:03:13 Yeah, we'll do a challenge. We'll do a one-on-one. Okay. All right.
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16 All right, 10 questions. All right. All right.
00:03:18 --> 00:03:23 You know, we'll see how well this goes. Okay. All right. Yeah.
00:03:23 --> 00:03:27 All right. Everything else, okay? Yeah, everything else is, I'm trying to think
00:03:27 --> 00:03:32 what I did this weekend, and nothing is really... No, that's not good.
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33 You don't remember anything.
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36 Well, you know, it's funny. I feel like I did something...
00:03:38 --> 00:03:42 I know you said you didn't go see Michael Jackson like half the other world did.
00:03:43 --> 00:03:47 No, no. No, I haven't seen it yet either. But I don't usually go to the movies
00:03:47 --> 00:03:50 when opening weekends and so forth because it does meet too many people.
00:03:51 --> 00:03:54 Right. And they'd be in there running their mouths and stuff like that.
00:03:54 --> 00:03:57 So I'd rather go see it when it's quiet.
00:03:58 --> 00:04:02 Now, Dave, the one thing I will say, I wouldn't mind going to see it.
00:04:02 --> 00:04:09 But I wouldn't mind going to see opening night or opening weekend to see how many people dressed up.
00:04:09 --> 00:04:13 Because, like, you know, when I've seen the recaps, a lot of people dressing,
00:04:13 --> 00:04:17 you know, they're dancing in the, you know, before they get in.
00:04:17 --> 00:04:21 Yeah, a lot of people at the premiere, I know I saw a lot of people dressed
00:04:21 --> 00:04:24 up. And that's men and women dressed up like him.
00:04:25 --> 00:04:30 And, you know, the critics, it's funny how tricky the critics are.
00:04:31 --> 00:04:34 The critics tried to pan the movie.
00:04:35 --> 00:04:39 But, you know, everybody said, don't pay attention to the reviews.
00:04:39 --> 00:04:43 And they made over $314 million over the weekend.
00:04:43 --> 00:04:49 So, you know, they did very well. They tried to make it, you know,
00:04:49 --> 00:04:53 they always try to pan on movies all the time, every time we have a movie.
00:04:54 --> 00:04:58 And, you know, it didn't make me think. So today when I was talking to DJ Tim
00:04:58 --> 00:05:03 Dog, shout out to DJ Tim doll but he was saying and and he made a good point
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04 that I thought about later,
00:05:05 --> 00:05:15 he he said a lot of the critics were basing the movie off of Michael Jackson's life.
00:05:16 --> 00:05:21 No no so he said they were kind of basing off his life you know almost like
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23 oh well they left this out they left this out,
00:05:23 --> 00:05:28 And my whole thing is, OK, take the documentary as it is.
00:05:28 --> 00:05:32 You know, like, I mean, they're not going to put all the bad stuff about Michael in there.
00:05:32 --> 00:05:36 But, you know, it's kind of like some critics were basing it almost like,
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39 OK, this is not the complete story.
00:05:40 --> 00:05:45 When, you know, in my mind, it's like, OK, what they produced is what they wanted you to see.
00:05:46 --> 00:05:49 So, you know, base your base, your reviews on what you're actually watching.
00:05:50 --> 00:05:56 Well, supposedly, it's rumored that there's going to be another movie, a second movie.
00:05:57 --> 00:06:00 Like a part two or something all over it?
00:06:00 --> 00:06:03 Because keep in mind, it's a part two.
00:06:03 --> 00:06:12 Keep in mind, because this particular period of time that they're covering is from 1958 to 1988.
00:06:13 --> 00:06:17 Oh, okay. Gotcha. So there's still a lot, you know, that happened after 88,
00:06:17 --> 00:06:20 you know, as far as the music and everything goes.
00:06:22 --> 00:06:28 And so they're already saying that there's probably going to be a part two just
00:06:28 --> 00:06:31 by the way they left the movie at the how they ended the movie.
00:06:32 --> 00:06:39 So and then like I was listening to a couple radio. I know what you call. Yeah.
00:06:42 --> 00:06:48 Talking about these and they handed it around.
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50 How do you want to cover for a little over two hours?
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53 No way. You can do that.
00:06:54 --> 00:07:00 You know, even that movie they did, the Jackson's, the American story,
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02 whatever it was called, remember the documentary, I mean, the movie they did
00:07:02 --> 00:07:05 about him and his brothers? That was four and a half hours.
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08 Jesus. I ain't watching all that.
00:07:10 --> 00:07:16 I'm not. I forgot what I'm talking to. And he's true.
00:07:18 --> 00:07:25 Yeah. He, um, he ain't gonna listen to, but he ain't gonna watch with so much of these things. Nah.
00:07:25 --> 00:07:29 Um, but that's, you know, I'm used to hearing him say that.
00:07:30 --> 00:07:33 So, but. No, no surprise. Dave, no surprises about me.
00:07:34 --> 00:07:39 Yeah, that's true. That's true. You're consistent. You are definitely consistent.
00:07:40 --> 00:07:46 But hopefully the music you know well I mean like I said everybody sees it I haven't heard,
00:07:47 --> 00:07:52 anybody say anything bad about it other than the fact they wish it was more
00:07:52 --> 00:07:58 you know so but I guess we'll see what happens when that comes out,
00:07:59 --> 00:08:03 you know you were talking about the start of the weekend man let me see any
00:08:03 --> 00:08:07 other things might have happened this weekend that you can think about huh,
00:08:08 --> 00:08:11 you know we had a correspondence dinner that didn't go so well.
00:08:13 --> 00:08:17 And there's so many theories coming out now we'll talk about something we'll
00:08:17 --> 00:08:22 talk about one person's comments as we continue with tonight's show so,
00:08:23 --> 00:08:28 You know, I heard a very interesting theory about what happened about,
00:08:29 --> 00:08:32 you know, because there's all this fuss, you know, they held up the,
00:08:32 --> 00:08:38 the building of the ballroom, you know, and, you know,
00:08:39 --> 00:08:42 they're trying to, you know, they said the judges are trying to rule,
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45 you know, whether they're going to let it continue or not.
00:08:46 --> 00:08:52 It was an interesting theory I heard it was last night saying that the reason
00:08:52 --> 00:08:56 that that happened was to prove that they need the ballroom because the ballroom
00:08:56 --> 00:09:00 would have gave them all the security and all that stuff that they didn't have that,
00:09:01 --> 00:09:08 well I mean that's one thing about Trump Trump is just thinking two steps ahead,
00:09:08 --> 00:09:11 you know you know what it might be.
00:09:13 --> 00:09:17 It's almost like a criminal who's about to rob the bank and they go through
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19 all the scenarios. You know what I mean?
00:09:19 --> 00:09:22 It's like they got to have everything lined up.
00:09:23 --> 00:09:29 And it's not a coincidence that after all of that happened, did you see how much gas jumped up?
00:09:29 --> 00:09:38 Did you notice the gas prices today? No. I got gas Saturday for like $3.75 where I stopped.
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41 Okay. It was $4.04 today.
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44 Oh, wow. $4.04.
00:09:45 --> 00:09:51 Okay so gas ever since he got on TV on the State of Union the union address
00:09:51 --> 00:09:56 a few weeks ago and he said gas prices is the lowest they ever been,
00:09:57 --> 00:10:02 gas has gone up over a dollar since then that's crazy so.
00:10:04 --> 00:10:11 But what can you say so that happened we'll talk about something else that happened
00:10:11 --> 00:10:17 too and that'll be one of our stories tonight So we got some things to talk about Okay,
00:10:18 --> 00:10:22 Alright let's get started with Let's get started with our first story,
00:10:23 --> 00:10:28 I found this story, and I thought this was pretty cool. Black Superhero Boot
00:10:28 --> 00:10:31 Camp gives Brooklyn boys a blueprint for success.
00:10:32 --> 00:10:37 It says about three dozen middle school students gathered earlier this month
00:10:37 --> 00:10:41 at the Brownsville Community Middle School in Brooklyn, New York,
00:10:41 --> 00:10:46 learning to lead and regulate their emotions, explore careers,
00:10:46 --> 00:10:50 and build the kind of confidence that doesn't show up in the report card.
00:10:50 --> 00:10:56 Black Superhero Boot Camp, it's called, was founded by civil rights attorney
00:10:56 --> 00:11:04 Charles Coleman Jr., brought together students from Brooklyn's District 23 for a day of workshops.
00:11:06 --> 00:11:13 Fitness training, and life skills programming. Sponsored by the nonprofit CFC40
00:11:13 --> 00:11:17 and supported by the New York City Department of Education,
00:11:17 --> 00:11:24 the April 11th event was designed to provide Black middle school boys with a
00:11:24 --> 00:11:32 space built for them as they approach the end of their academic year to a news release.
00:11:33 --> 00:11:38 Black Superhero Bootcamp is about showing our young people that leadership,
00:11:38 --> 00:11:44 resilience, and self-care are skills they can practice every day.
00:11:45 --> 00:11:50 We created a space where students could build confidence, learn tools to manage
00:11:50 --> 00:11:56 their emotions, and see themselves as problem solvers and leaders in the communities.
00:11:57 --> 00:12:03 Coleman has extensive history in youth mentorship. He previously founded and
00:12:03 --> 00:12:10 led Edge Movement New York City, a mentoring program for young Black and Latino boys.
00:12:10 --> 00:12:18 And in 2019, the Black Superhero Project coordinating 10 service projects across the country.
00:12:19 --> 00:12:23 The Black Superhero Bootcamp expands on years of community service,
00:12:23 --> 00:12:30 transforming membership into actionable programs for youth, the news release states.
00:12:31 --> 00:12:37 The day begins with breakfast and continued with a series of workshops and sessions,
00:12:37 --> 00:12:43 including leadership and voice-building exercises that help students identify
00:12:43 --> 00:12:44 the strengths of practice,
00:12:45 --> 00:12:47 public speaking, life skills.
00:12:47 --> 00:12:52 Sessions focused on decision-making, goal-setting, and conflict resolution.
00:12:52 --> 00:12:59 A session on turning passion into a profession where students learn about filmmaking
00:12:59 --> 00:13:02 and what it takes to become a professional DJ,
00:13:02 --> 00:13:10 and physical fitness training and yoga sessions emphasizing emotional regulation and mindfulness.
00:13:11 --> 00:13:15 So this program sounds like a pretty cool program.
00:13:15 --> 00:13:26 And, you know, it sounds like a way to give young men a chance to realize a
00:13:26 --> 00:13:31 lot of the things that they probably could later on have issues with, you know,
00:13:31 --> 00:13:38 as far as leadership and, you know, how to handle their emotions,
00:13:38 --> 00:13:43 life skills, also being able to, you know,
00:13:43 --> 00:13:45 pick a profession and work it well.
00:13:45 --> 00:13:53 I think this is a great program. And I like the fact that they're using superheroes as a positive program.
00:13:54 --> 00:13:58 Male building type role model, you know what I mean?
00:13:59 --> 00:14:03 What's your thoughts on hearing about a program like this?
00:14:03 --> 00:14:08 Is this a program that we feel that should be available everywhere?
00:14:08 --> 00:14:13 Yeah, I mean, I definitely agree. I think, you know, superheroes are always
00:14:13 --> 00:14:16 cool to boys at any age. So, you know what I mean?
00:14:16 --> 00:14:22 Like, you know, there's never an age where, you know, liking superheroes is
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24 corny, you know, so to speak.
00:14:25 --> 00:14:29 Cause Dave, you already know the Marvel movies, you know, all the adults be up in there.
00:14:31 --> 00:14:34 I mean, I, I, I definitely think it's a good thing.
00:14:34 --> 00:14:37 Um, I was just talking to somebody yesterday and they were just talking about
00:14:37 --> 00:14:44 all the alternative activities for black youth that, you know,
00:14:44 --> 00:14:48 we don't get to, I won't say that aren't is popular.
00:14:48 --> 00:14:50 So of course, you know, when we think about activities for black youth,
00:14:51 --> 00:14:52 the number one thing everyone thinks is sports.
00:14:53 --> 00:14:55 But, you know, there's so much more.
00:14:56 --> 00:15:00 And, you know, and I think some of these life skills, decision making,
00:15:00 --> 00:15:05 goal setting, conflict resolution, you know, those are all important skills
00:15:05 --> 00:15:06 that a lot of adults haven't mastered.
00:15:07 --> 00:15:11 So, you know, I think for them just to get the opportunity to shoot,
00:15:12 --> 00:15:14 maybe express themselves, be creative.
00:15:15 --> 00:15:19 You know, show their leaderships, you know, be able to show different skills
00:15:19 --> 00:15:25 than maybe only being proud of that they can, you know, just dribble a basketball
00:15:25 --> 00:15:28 and, you know, catch a touchdown or something.
00:15:29 --> 00:15:32 Yeah. And that's important because we, you know,
00:15:32 --> 00:15:37 of course, everybody, when we look at TV and we look at today's culture,
00:15:37 --> 00:15:43 everybody wants to be in, you know, a rapper or athlete or whatever,
00:15:43 --> 00:15:46 because they look at the money aspect and they say, okay.
00:15:47 --> 00:15:51 I can get that money and do all kinds of things.
00:15:51 --> 00:15:55 But then you got to think outside the box at times too. And...
00:15:56 --> 00:16:01 You know, this guy was saying, the Coleman guy who started this program,
00:16:02 --> 00:16:06 he says, I think my black superhero power is just simply being black.
00:16:07 --> 00:16:15 I think when you're black, you experience the world and different things in it in different ways.
00:16:15 --> 00:16:20 And that's what you got to work with. You got to be able to see because they
00:16:20 --> 00:16:22 don't think, and, you know,
00:16:23 --> 00:16:29 using our famous friends, they, they don't think we're capable of being able
00:16:29 --> 00:16:32 to do a lot of things that they can do. You know what I mean?
00:16:32 --> 00:16:38 Or do them better. Now, of course, you know, I always tell young guys or whatever,
00:16:39 --> 00:16:45 you know, when I was coming up, there was only certain sports that you can go
00:16:45 --> 00:16:50 into that you were going to have a chance of being successful in. Football, basketball.
00:16:50 --> 00:16:56 Basically, that was it. And baseball. But we were the minority in baseball.
00:16:56 --> 00:17:02 You know, nowadays, we have infiltrated just about every sport.
00:17:03 --> 00:17:08 I mean, if you think about it, hockey, that wasn't a sport that we were really big in.
00:17:09 --> 00:17:14 We have hockey. We got soccer. We got, what, tennis.
00:17:14 --> 00:17:20 You know, so all the sports that, golf, you know, so all the sports that we
00:17:20 --> 00:17:25 wasn't playing when I was coming up, you know, except for a few of them.
00:17:25 --> 00:17:30 Now we have become some of the top money earners in those sports.
00:17:30 --> 00:17:36 You know. So the potential to be great at any of these things is always there,
00:17:36 --> 00:17:41 and you just have to make sure that you apply yourself, and I think this program helps you do that.
00:17:42 --> 00:17:48 So my hat's off to Mr. Coleman and the things that he was able to accomplish
00:17:48 --> 00:17:52 with this program and may other programs like this pop up,
00:17:52 --> 00:17:59 or maybe he's able to get them into other states other than the ones that he's
00:17:59 --> 00:18:02 already done programs in. Right. Okay.
00:18:03 --> 00:18:06 All right. Let's see. Moving on to our next program.
00:18:08 --> 00:18:12 I mean, our next story. That's a program. Our former president,
00:18:13 --> 00:18:19 Barack Obama, reacted to the shooting that took place over the weekend.
00:18:19 --> 00:18:25 And I'm sure by now, everybody who's probably listening has heard about the
00:18:25 --> 00:18:31 White House correspondence dinner shooting that happened over the weekend on Saturday.
00:18:32 --> 00:18:37 That people are still having a hard time believing was real.
00:18:38 --> 00:18:41 You know, every day I keep seeing stories about.
00:18:42 --> 00:18:47 I don't know. That's what everybody keeps saying. I don't know. You know, so, you know.
00:18:48 --> 00:18:52 Jimmy Kimmel went off in his monologue last night. It was crazy.
00:18:52 --> 00:18:57 If you get a chance later, check his monologue out. Okay, I wasn't there. Yeah, yeah, so.
00:18:58 --> 00:19:01 But let's see what the president had, the former president had to say.
00:19:02 --> 00:19:06 He said, former President Barack Obama condemned violence and praised the bravery
00:19:06 --> 00:19:11 of the United States Secret Service after this past weekend's shooting scare
00:19:11 --> 00:19:14 at the White House. correspondence today.
00:19:14 --> 00:19:18 However, America's first
00:19:18 --> 00:19:27 black president also ignited fury from the political right for suggesting that
00:19:27 --> 00:19:33 the motive of the suspected shooter charged on Monday for the attempted assassination
00:19:33 --> 00:19:36 of President Donald Trump was unknown.
00:19:37 --> 00:19:43 Although we don't yet have the details about the motives behind last night's
00:19:43 --> 00:19:46 shooting at the White House at the Correspondents' Dinner,
00:19:47 --> 00:19:55 it's incumbent upon all of us to reject the idea that violence has a place in our democracy,
00:19:55 --> 00:20:01 said Obama, who, like all modern presidents, served in the White House during
00:20:01 --> 00:20:05 dozens of mass shootings from 2009 to 2017.
00:20:06 --> 00:20:11 Former President Barack Obama condemned violence and praised the bravery of
00:20:11 --> 00:20:13 the United States Secret Service.
00:20:13 --> 00:20:20 However, America, it says that, you know, he definitely really feels that there
00:20:20 --> 00:20:27 is more to the story than to meet the eye without really going that deep into it, as he puts it.
00:20:27 --> 00:20:35 He said Donald Trump was unknown, although we don't yet have the details about
00:20:35 --> 00:20:37 the murders behind last night's shooting at the White House.
00:20:38 --> 00:20:46 They said that the 64-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner is also a sober reminder
00:20:46 --> 00:20:50 of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service agents showed every day.
00:20:50 --> 00:20:56 I'm grateful to them and thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay.
00:20:57 --> 00:21:01 Obama's reaction to the April 25th incident in D.C.
00:21:01 --> 00:21:06 Was not uncommon, as he often speaks out against national issues since leaving office.
00:21:07 --> 00:21:14 However, Republican leaders and conservatives online, they railed against Obama
00:21:14 --> 00:21:18 for saying federal investigators don't yet have the details about motives.
00:21:18 --> 00:21:23 Let's not pretend to be this clueless about motives.
00:21:23 --> 00:21:31 So they're getting on Obama because he's trying to say something without saying
00:21:31 --> 00:21:33 something, if you feel me.
00:21:33 --> 00:21:42 You know, he said the attempted assassin put out an anti-Trump manifesto about
00:21:42 --> 00:21:47 wanting to kill Trump administrative officers,
00:21:47 --> 00:21:50 officials, I should say,
00:21:51 --> 00:21:56 minutes before trying to storm a ballroom filled with the president,
00:21:56 --> 00:21:58 VP, cabinet, and many others.
00:21:58 --> 00:22:03 This is another example showing how Barack Obama is one of the most divisive
00:22:03 --> 00:22:10 figures in America politics today so many of our divisions were caused by the smug,
00:22:10 --> 00:22:15 demeaning and narrow-minded way he treats his opponents now this was said by
00:22:15 --> 00:22:23 Ari Fleischer Fox News contributor the former White House press secretary for
00:22:23 --> 00:22:25 President George Bush so,
00:22:26 --> 00:22:27 you know.
00:22:29 --> 00:22:32 I read the story, and I'm going to stop there. There's more to it.
00:22:32 --> 00:22:39 But because he said that the motive hadn't come out yet, all of a sudden he's
00:22:39 --> 00:22:45 being slammed because he's trying not to say something that he thinks,
00:22:45 --> 00:22:47 and everybody else is thinking already.
00:22:48 --> 00:22:51 Because let's go with the conspiracy theory, Leonard.
00:22:52 --> 00:22:56 We know this shooter was what color? Mixed.
00:22:58 --> 00:22:59 Like black. I.
00:23:02 --> 00:23:08 And when he was apprehended, did it look like there was any nicks or straight scrapes on him?
00:23:08 --> 00:23:13 I was wondering why his shirt was off. I still haven't heard that part.
00:23:13 --> 00:23:17 I know. And that was another thing because everybody said, where's the shirt?
00:23:17 --> 00:23:20 Okay. Because when he ran through, he had a shirt on.
00:23:21 --> 00:23:25 You can see it like when he kind of ran through the lobby, he wasn't shirtless.
00:23:26 --> 00:23:29 Okay. So maybe they ripped it off. I don't know.
00:23:29 --> 00:23:36 Who knows? But notice one glaring thing about this man.
00:23:37 --> 00:23:39 He wasn't dead.
00:23:40 --> 00:23:48 Right. Now, we know in most cases that man would not be alive.
00:23:49 --> 00:23:53 Come on. You agree or you disagree? Yeah, no, no. I mean, I definitely agree.
00:23:54 --> 00:24:00 Okay. We know in today's climate, there's no way he would have been alive, okay?
00:24:03 --> 00:24:07 So there's a bunch of conspiracy theories out there.
00:24:08 --> 00:24:12 And, of course, with everything that's going on with this ballroom and,
00:24:12 --> 00:24:17 you know, a lot of people are saying this was just all staged.
00:24:17 --> 00:24:22 It looked staged to me from the very beginning when the guy comes out and he shows him the note.
00:24:24 --> 00:24:27 That was weird well was that was
00:24:27 --> 00:24:30 supposed to be a magician he was showing him a magic trick that was the mental
00:24:30 --> 00:24:34 that was the mentalist right because that's who was that's who they had that
00:24:34 --> 00:24:38 yeah the mentalist was supposed to be the person and that's that famous guy
00:24:38 --> 00:24:44 that goes and talks to all the football players and all that stuff but he wasn't
00:24:44 --> 00:24:46 doing a joke he wasn't doing this act at that time.
00:24:48 --> 00:24:54 Right. So and then you see him kind of say we have to evacuate.
00:24:54 --> 00:24:58 That's what they said that people was reading his lips saying that we have to evacuate.
00:24:58 --> 00:25:02 The fact that they got up, they got they got Vance out first.
00:25:02 --> 00:25:04 Did you notice that? No, I didn't.
00:25:05 --> 00:25:10 They got Vance out first because the day there was a thing online that said
00:25:10 --> 00:25:14 that Trump was explaining why Vance was taken out so quickly before him.
00:25:14 --> 00:25:17 What was that answer? he said
00:25:17 --> 00:25:20 because it was he said something
00:25:20 --> 00:25:23 about it was easier to get him
00:25:23 --> 00:25:26 out from where he was than where they
00:25:26 --> 00:25:31 were because there was more people on his side gotcha and and i mean i i was
00:25:31 --> 00:25:35 thinking that too in my mind i was thinking trump is old so he probably he probably
00:25:35 --> 00:25:40 can't get up quick he you know i mean like he probably gotta have someone help
00:25:40 --> 00:25:44 him get up yeah but what was so funnier to be was how they left all the women behind.
00:25:45 --> 00:25:49 Yeah, like RFK, how they had his woman behind.
00:25:50 --> 00:25:55 Security didn't even care about his woman. No, Melania, they left Melania.
00:25:55 --> 00:25:58 Melania was crawling on the ground behind them. Oh, wow.
00:25:59 --> 00:26:01 So was Patel's wife.
00:26:02 --> 00:26:07 I think they did get Vance's wife. I saw the pregnant.
00:26:07 --> 00:26:13 Yeah, they did help her out, but they kind of Yeah, she didn't get down.
00:26:14 --> 00:26:15 They just kind of took her out. Yeah.
00:26:16 --> 00:26:19 But the other women, they left. Yeah.
00:26:20 --> 00:26:27 Yeah. It was just a weird thing. The gentlemen of the Republican Party putting themselves first.
00:26:27 --> 00:26:31 Yeah, putting themselves first. I mean, did you think it was staged like that?
00:26:32 --> 00:26:40 Overall, yes. I mean, it was just very weird. So, Dave, let me just run through my little statistics.
00:26:40 --> 00:26:46 Okay, the guy had no—to be honest, Dave, when someone told me about it and sent
00:26:46 --> 00:26:49 me the picture, I said, why don't he have no clothes on?
00:26:49 --> 00:26:54 Because, you know, I just—he was butt naked down there. Like, I know he had pants.
00:26:54 --> 00:26:59 And then I saw he was mixed and almost mixed looking more white than,
00:26:59 --> 00:27:02 you know, it looked like he was raised by a white mama.
00:27:02 --> 00:27:06 Nothing against white mamas of course but you
00:27:06 --> 00:27:09 know that and they what black
00:27:09 --> 00:27:12 man leaves a manifesto like like
00:27:12 --> 00:27:16 i'm like i'm just trying to think of like what black person leaves a manifesto
00:27:16 --> 00:27:22 yeah who does that right right then of course you know just how weird trump
00:27:22 --> 00:27:27 looked at the whole thing like for me when that mentalist or magician or whatever
00:27:27 --> 00:27:31 he was trump looked like like okay like
00:27:31 --> 00:27:34 almost like looking at his watch like okay like hurry up like something about
00:27:34 --> 00:27:40 to happen you know then of course how they they ran all the men out women following behind them.
00:27:41 --> 00:27:46 Then that one guy who stayed eating his food almost like he was the casting
00:27:46 --> 00:27:52 director you know who they said that guy was he's wolf blitzer blitzer's agent
00:27:52 --> 00:27:57 okay so that that was the coolest This guy,
00:27:57 --> 00:28:00 so I posted it to my story. He was not moving.
00:28:00 --> 00:28:04 Yep. I posted it to my story. Did you hear what he said afterwards? What did he say?
00:28:05 --> 00:28:09 Basically, he said, hey, you know, I've seen all I need to see in this life.
00:28:10 --> 00:28:16 He's like, I have something bad with my back, so I cannot get down on the floor.
00:28:17 --> 00:28:22 And he said, I'm a germ freak. So he's like, the last thing I'd be doing is
00:28:22 --> 00:28:24 getting on everybody's floor. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:28:25 --> 00:28:28 So, so he, he just said, but I mean, it was just one, he just kept on eating.
00:28:29 --> 00:28:33 And then, so the other things, oh, what was the other thing?
00:28:33 --> 00:28:36 I can't think, but I mean, those are the main things. It was just weird.
00:28:37 --> 00:28:42 And it's like. Did you hear how many lobsters they had to get rid of?
00:28:42 --> 00:28:48 No. One more thing before I forget. The last thing is I always feel like when
00:28:48 --> 00:28:52 Trump gets in deep in something he can't get out of,
00:28:52 --> 00:28:57 So there's always another controversy that pops up to take everybody's attention off.
00:28:58 --> 00:29:02 So it's so funny because right after that happened, I saw that they were not
00:29:02 --> 00:29:08 going to be sending the American representatives to go negotiate in Palestine
00:29:08 --> 00:29:11 or Pakistan to negotiate.
00:29:11 --> 00:29:13 And I'm like, oh, man, like, OK, look at that.
00:29:14 --> 00:29:22 So now what? So the lobsters. Yeah, they said they had over 2 lobsters that they had prepared.
00:29:23 --> 00:29:28 How many people were there? The place was packed. There was a lot of people there.
00:29:29 --> 00:29:34 Were there 2 people, though? No, but, you know, hey, they got to prepare
00:29:34 --> 00:29:36 in case people want to eat more than one.
00:29:37 --> 00:29:44 But they said it was a lot of lobster. So what did they throw it out? Really?
00:29:45 --> 00:29:49 Come on now. We know they ain't throw them out. Well, that's what they said.
00:29:50 --> 00:29:53 Somebody feasting on lobster. They threw them out into somebody's car.
00:29:54 --> 00:29:57 Right. And then somebody's refrigerator probably. Yeah.
00:29:57 --> 00:30:05 But yeah, they said that was a very expensive dinner not to have.
00:30:06 --> 00:30:14 That's crazy. Yeah, but you're right Every time Trump, something is not going
00:30:14 --> 00:30:18 his way There's always something that comes up that, you know, says,
00:30:19 --> 00:30:25 Let's look the other way, you know So he got away with it And then,
00:30:25 --> 00:30:33 like I said, gas prices jumped 30 cents over the last couple days Yeah, sure You know,
00:30:34 --> 00:30:37 well, it's been over four years since we've been at $4 dollars,
00:30:38 --> 00:30:42 Something like that. Yeah, it's only been a minute. Yeah, it's been a minute.
00:30:43 --> 00:30:47 But I'm sure we're going to find out more and more about what happened.
00:30:49 --> 00:30:53 But you guys who are fans of late night TV, please do me a favor.
00:30:54 --> 00:31:00 Go ahead and check Jimmy Kimmel's monologue last night.
00:31:00 --> 00:31:07 Because Jimmy Kimmel made a joke about Melania a couple days before that event happened.
00:31:07 --> 00:31:10 Talking about that she was sitting
00:31:10 --> 00:31:14 there like she was about to be a future widower or something like that.
00:31:14 --> 00:31:19 A widow, a future widow looking at it. And then all of a sudden this happens.
00:31:19 --> 00:31:24 And of course, you know, she banded Kimmel saying he should be fired and all of this stuff.
00:31:25 --> 00:31:33 But he was going crazy because, you know, Trump has been trying to get rid of him for a while.
00:31:33 --> 00:31:37 I like Kimmel because Kimmel ain't scared. He won't back down from him.
00:31:38 --> 00:31:42 You know, so if y'all get a chance, check that out, that monologue.
00:31:42 --> 00:31:43 I thought he was right on point.
00:31:44 --> 00:31:50 So, but I'm sure there's going to be more to come out. And I bet you will never
00:31:50 --> 00:31:51 hear that guy's name again.
00:31:52 --> 00:31:56 How much you want to have heard about that? Yeah, I mean, as soon as this died
00:31:56 --> 00:31:58 down the next week, we probably won't hear much about him.
00:31:59 --> 00:32:02 Have we heard anything else about the guy that shot?
00:32:04 --> 00:32:08 The first person to try to take Trump out? Have we heard any more about him?
00:32:08 --> 00:32:11 I mean, they said they, fingers crossed, killed him.
00:32:12 --> 00:32:16 Yeah, well. Or he killed himself, one of them. Yeah, well, I still believe the
00:32:16 --> 00:32:18 guy is still living. Yeah.
00:32:18 --> 00:32:22 Yeah, and they don't talk about him at all.
00:32:22 --> 00:32:27 Like, he never existed. I'm telling you, I think the guy is still living.
00:32:27 --> 00:32:33 And I heard something, too, where it's like, okay. They said Trump has had the
00:32:33 --> 00:32:36 most assassination attempts of any president.
00:32:38 --> 00:32:41 Yeah, yeah, yeah, well, I mean. That's interesting, too.
00:32:41 --> 00:32:46 That's interesting, too. So that should tell the world a lot.
00:32:46 --> 00:32:49 But then, you know, whatever.
00:32:50 --> 00:32:56 I can't. I can't with him. Yeah. But anyway, we'll move on to our next story. Go ahead, Ben.
00:32:57 --> 00:33:01 Well, Dave, I'm going to steal some of your words.
00:33:01 --> 00:33:06 Unless you've been sleeping under a rock, you have probably been.
00:33:06 --> 00:33:12 And if you are on social media, you have been inundated with Megan Thee Stallion
00:33:12 --> 00:33:20 memes, comment, reaction videos, maybe even hate at Klay Thompson.
00:33:20 --> 00:33:24 So over the weekend, I don't know which day it was, maybe Saturday or Sunday,
00:33:24 --> 00:33:32 apparently Megan Thee Stallion posted something on her IG story saying that Clay Thompson,
00:33:32 --> 00:33:37 her boyfriend of, I guess, just a little over a year basketball player for the
00:33:37 --> 00:33:40 Dallas Mavericks, was a cheater.
00:33:40 --> 00:33:44 And she kind of left it vague, but it definitely talked about cheating.
00:33:46 --> 00:33:51 And, Dave, the internet has gone in. Dave, I didn't know there were this many
00:33:51 --> 00:33:55 people who ride or died so hard for Megan Thee Stallion.
00:33:56 --> 00:34:00 You know, she has her own legion, the hotties. So, you know,
00:34:00 --> 00:34:03 she's like Nikki and Beyonce.
00:34:03 --> 00:34:06 They got their own, you know, their whole troops, you know.
00:34:07 --> 00:34:14 But Dave, I'll say women all over the United States have been uniting in the,
00:34:15 --> 00:34:18 the, uh, disgracing of Klay Thompson.
00:34:18 --> 00:34:20 Dave, I heard he's been getting death threats.
00:34:21 --> 00:34:25 People are threatening to, I guess, take back his ACL.
00:34:26 --> 00:34:30 You know, they're threatening not to go to the games. I mean, like,
00:34:31 --> 00:34:35 Dave, I don't know if I've seen this much uproar.
00:34:36 --> 00:34:43 Over a man doing something terrible, you know, to a woman since, I mean,
00:34:44 --> 00:34:49 David, can you think of a situation where it's just been like a personal dating
00:34:49 --> 00:34:52 relationship where one man has, I guess,
00:34:52 --> 00:34:59 cheated or, you know, done something this devastating that women have united
00:34:59 --> 00:35:04 of all colors, all nationalities, all across the United States?
00:35:04 --> 00:35:15 Well it's funny because I don't even think got this much and he shot her you
00:35:15 --> 00:35:19 know what I mean I think what it was.
00:35:22 --> 00:35:26 The way that Meg came out and put it, and see, you know, because,
00:35:26 --> 00:35:31 you know, it made it look like they were about to get married because he bought
00:35:31 --> 00:35:33 a boat. He named the boat after her.
00:35:34 --> 00:35:39 They just recently bought some kind of crib together.
00:35:40 --> 00:35:45 And then they also, it was something else they got together.
00:35:45 --> 00:35:50 So, I mean, they've been doing things as a couple all this time.
00:35:50 --> 00:35:54 And they had been very visible and so forth and so forth.
00:35:54 --> 00:36:00 For her to come out and say that and saying that he had been messing around
00:36:00 --> 00:36:04 and then all of a sudden they throw the WNBA player in there,
00:36:04 --> 00:36:09 Lexi Brown, whose father used to play for the Celtics, Dee Brown.
00:36:10 --> 00:36:14 Oh, is that her? Remember the guy who used to pump up his sneakers back in the day?
00:36:15 --> 00:36:18 Yeah, that's her father. I didn't know that. Yeah.
00:36:19 --> 00:36:22 You know, And, you know, she's already come out and made a statement.
00:36:22 --> 00:36:25 She said, I don't know why they put me in this, but she said,
00:36:25 --> 00:36:26 I ain't got nothing to do with this.
00:36:27 --> 00:36:31 She said, I, she said, it's not true. So don't, so far, the only person that
00:36:31 --> 00:36:35 hasn't said anything is Clay. You know, Clay hasn't said anything yet.
00:36:36 --> 00:36:40 But, you know, but she was up there saying that, you know, the main thing that
00:36:40 --> 00:36:44 got her upset was the fact that after all they've been doing over the last year,
00:36:45 --> 00:36:52 this dude comes out and says he wants to have he don't think he can be in a
00:36:52 --> 00:36:58 monogamous relationship well now when did this come out is this after yeah this
00:36:58 --> 00:37:01 was part of the reason this is part of what.
00:37:02 --> 00:37:08 Sent her off because he said that he didn't think he could be in a monogamous
00:37:08 --> 00:37:13 relationship meaning you know so as far as getting married or anything like
00:37:13 --> 00:37:17 that if he got married she was not to accept the fact that he might see other people.
00:37:19 --> 00:37:24 And that's what he was saying, that he's not ready to commit to just seeing her.
00:37:24 --> 00:37:29 And that's why she went off, supposedly. But during the season,
00:37:30 --> 00:37:32 you know, his team didn't make the playoffs.
00:37:33 --> 00:37:38 So he was very moody. He wasn't playing well, you know.
00:37:39 --> 00:37:46 And he was upset that he was so mad with himself for taking that,
00:37:46 --> 00:37:48 you know, going there to that particular team.
00:37:49 --> 00:37:55 Because he wished that he stayed in Golden State with the rest of the guys and so forth.
00:37:55 --> 00:38:01 So she said that she had to deal with his mood swings, and then apparently they
00:38:01 --> 00:38:07 said that she's saying that he was seeing at least one other woman.
00:38:09 --> 00:38:15 So, you know, and you hate to see when, you know, a high-profile couple go through this.
00:38:15 --> 00:38:23 Like you know you imagine if Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey break up oh man
00:38:23 --> 00:38:25 you know what's gonna happen there,
00:38:26 --> 00:38:31 and you know she'll write a whole album about it I'm gonna say a fire Taylor
00:38:31 --> 00:38:36 Swift album for all her yeah,
00:38:37 --> 00:38:44 that's right all the Swifties waiting for that music waiting for that music
00:38:44 --> 00:38:49 and she'll make a ton of money off of it. So I don't know.
00:38:50 --> 00:38:53 I think more is going to come. I'm sure more is going to come out.
00:38:54 --> 00:38:58 And even if this was one of those things, like, okay, baby, I made a mistake.
00:38:58 --> 00:39:03 I don't want to break up. Can we make this work? You can't do that now.
00:39:04 --> 00:39:08 Too much has happened. Yeah. Now every woman, you know what?
00:39:08 --> 00:39:13 Women who didn't even know who you were. And it's so funny when I hear her say,
00:39:13 --> 00:39:18 Have you seen people say, I didn't even know who Klay Thompson was before Megan Thee Stallion?
00:39:19 --> 00:39:24 I love what other people say. I love the people say, if mama called him Clay,
00:39:24 --> 00:39:25 I'm going to call him Clay.
00:39:25 --> 00:39:28 You know, from coming to America, you know.
00:39:30 --> 00:39:33 It's, but you know, there's a lot of men dragging him too, Leonard.
00:39:34 --> 00:39:37 Yeah, no. Like, a lot of men are dragging, but like, you had Megan,
00:39:37 --> 00:39:41 the stallion. How, how are you going to drop the bag?
00:39:41 --> 00:39:45 But you know, the other half of the men are dragging him for another reason.
00:39:45 --> 00:39:49 Because the other half of the men are like, man, I can't even go home now.
00:39:49 --> 00:39:53 Because now my wife is, you know, she's trying to lock me out the house.
00:39:54 --> 00:39:57 She, you know, she asking me questions, you know.
00:39:58 --> 00:40:02 Look, the internet has been undefeated the last couple days because the comments
00:40:02 --> 00:40:06 and the memes are out of pocket, man. They really are.
00:40:07 --> 00:40:13 You know, I mean, you know, people, people, you know, that wasn't me.
00:40:13 --> 00:40:14 That was him. I didn't do that.
00:40:14 --> 00:40:20 But, yeah, but you like him. You watch his teams. You rooted for him, so you just like him.
00:40:22 --> 00:40:24 So all men are like Klay Thompson now.
00:40:26 --> 00:40:30 I don't know. We don't know how this is going to turn out, but it doesn't look
00:40:30 --> 00:40:33 like it's going to get any better for Klay Thompson.
00:40:33 --> 00:40:37 And he might well just move to China.
00:40:38 --> 00:40:43 That's probably where he should move to. Well, Dave, I'm wondering because the
00:40:43 --> 00:40:45 internet is pretty powerful.
00:40:46 --> 00:40:50 Could this ruin his career, his basketball career?
00:40:51 --> 00:40:56 He might be done in Dallas because keep in mind, she's from Houston. Yeah.
00:40:57 --> 00:41:02 And, you know, them people say, oh, he might as well not even come back to Texas.
00:41:02 --> 00:41:07 Yeah. But, you know, also it's kind of like as a team owner.
00:41:07 --> 00:41:10 So, I mean, and correct me if I'm wrong, you know more than I do.
00:41:11 --> 00:41:16 Is he still a star in Dallas, or is he kind of like a falling star?
00:41:16 --> 00:41:20 He's a falling star. He didn't shoot well this year.
00:41:21 --> 00:41:28 When they picked him up, he has not performed the way they thought he was going
00:41:28 --> 00:41:30 to perform. He's underperformed.
00:41:31 --> 00:41:34 He's had good gains. He just hasn't been consistently good.
00:41:35 --> 00:41:38 Yeah. So the reason I say that is kind of like, as an owner,
00:41:38 --> 00:41:42 as a manager, do you want all this hate? You know what I mean?
00:41:43 --> 00:41:47 It's kind of like, you know, I mean, I could see if he was starring,
00:41:47 --> 00:41:50 performing, then you're like, okay, like the good with the bad.
00:41:50 --> 00:41:56 But if it's bad with the bad, and it's so public, you know, I don't know.
00:41:57 --> 00:41:59 Yeah. And he's...
00:42:01 --> 00:42:08 I was going to say on top of it, too, if he's having all this anxiety and depression,
00:42:08 --> 00:42:14 oh, man, he's probably home now drinking and smoking and gambling.
00:42:16 --> 00:42:20 Well, if you're a person who ever paid attention to Clay Thompson,
00:42:20 --> 00:42:23 he always looked like he's brooding all the time.
00:42:23 --> 00:42:29 He never looked happy or whatever. Now, with Meg, he did look like he was loosening
00:42:29 --> 00:42:30 up a little bit and whatever.
00:42:31 --> 00:42:36 But he just, like, keep in mind, he played with Steph Curry. Yeah.
00:42:37 --> 00:42:40 And, of course, everybody loves Steph Curry, you know, because he seemed like
00:42:40 --> 00:42:44 a big kid, you know what I mean? You know, and he's everywhere.
00:42:44 --> 00:42:51 And people can relate to him. Well, I'm sure Clay probably had a hard time playing,
00:42:51 --> 00:42:56 you know, being around him because, you know, he was Mr. Personality, you know.
00:42:57 --> 00:43:02 Clay's definitely not that. And Clay was like light skin number two.
00:43:02 --> 00:43:04 Yeah, that's right. Yeah.
00:43:05 --> 00:43:13 You know, so it's, you know, like Jay-Z once said, it's a hard knock to like, you know? Yeah.
00:43:14 --> 00:43:17 Yeah. So I guess we'll find out what's going to happen between them two,
00:43:18 --> 00:43:24 if anything, or how bad, how worse things may get, because they could get even
00:43:24 --> 00:43:25 worse than what they are now.
00:43:26 --> 00:43:31 Right. And it's bad enough that Megan announced today that she's going to step
00:43:31 --> 00:43:36 away from the Broadway show, the Moulin Rouge that she was doing,
00:43:36 --> 00:43:39 which he had been getting great reviews for.
00:43:39 --> 00:43:45 And because he needed to, you know, deal with her grief and,
00:43:45 --> 00:43:50 you know, everything else she's going through. So, you know, so.
00:43:50 --> 00:43:57 So, well, we hope and wish both of these people the best. and play.
00:43:58 --> 00:44:02 Damn, man. That's all I got to say.
00:44:03 --> 00:44:11 Yeah, okay. I will be working on my game a lot this summer. You know, so. All right.
00:44:12 --> 00:44:17 Moving on to our next story. I came across this. I thought it was interesting.
00:44:17 --> 00:44:21 I'm so glad that I see one particular place on here.
00:44:22 --> 00:44:29 So I'm glad for that, you know. But this is a story about the most dangerous
00:44:29 --> 00:44:34 state for kids in the year 2026.
00:44:35 --> 00:44:39 So this is probably, this is what they're saying, the worst dangerous states
00:44:39 --> 00:44:45 for your kids as far as safety risks and stuff like that.
00:44:45 --> 00:44:51 And these are the top 10 states that they're saying would be dangerous for the kids.
00:44:51 --> 00:44:56 It says a new study has identified the states where children face the greatest
00:44:56 --> 00:45:02 safety risks, and findings may surprise parents in some unexpected corners of the country.
00:45:02 --> 00:45:09 The April 26th, a 2026 report conducted by iSharing,
00:45:10 --> 00:45:17 a family location tracking app with over 60 million downloads examined data across all 50 states.
00:45:18 --> 00:45:23 Research has pulled figures from six categories, missing children,
00:45:23 --> 00:45:31 aggravated assault, rape, kidnapping, school bus fatal crashes, and school shootings.
00:45:32 --> 00:45:41 And they calculated each state's numbers as incidents per 100 residents for a fair comparison.
00:45:42 --> 00:45:43 Okay.
00:45:45 --> 00:45:51 Do you think you can guess what the number one spot was? Florida. Nope. California.
00:45:52 --> 00:45:54 Nope. Texas.
00:45:55 --> 00:45:59 Nope. And you want to, oh, hey, hold on. Before you say anything else,
00:46:00 --> 00:46:05 none of those are on the list. None of those are on the list. Georgia.
00:46:06 --> 00:46:11 Nope. Oh, wow. So, and those are the states that you were, like,
00:46:11 --> 00:46:13 they came to your head first.
00:46:13 --> 00:46:16 Would probably come to most people's head, but none of them are on the list.
00:46:18 --> 00:46:24 Arizona. Nope. Oh, okay. Well, I mean, other than that, they'd all be crapshoots.
00:46:24 --> 00:46:28 Okay. Well, here you go. The number one state.
00:46:29 --> 00:46:32 Hold on. I'm going to start with number 10. Let's work our way down.
00:46:33 --> 00:46:35 Okay. Do you want to go? Okay. Yeah, that's right. I normally do that anyway.
00:46:36 --> 00:46:40 So let me go to the back here. Okay. Hold on.
00:46:41 --> 00:46:53 Okay, so, well, before I say this, believe it or not, Maine was the safest state for kids.
00:46:55 --> 00:46:59 Well, and I'm sorry, when we say safe, what are we talking about safe?
00:46:59 --> 00:47:06 Maine stood as the opposite end of the spectrum recording just 235 yearly incidents
00:47:06 --> 00:47:09 to earn the safest state for children.
00:47:09 --> 00:47:14 Okay, that makes sense? Everybody else has way more.
00:47:15 --> 00:47:21 Okay, here we go. Number 10, South Carolina.
00:47:21 --> 00:47:24 Number 9, Colorado.
00:47:25 --> 00:47:28 Number 8, Oklahoma.
00:47:29 --> 00:47:35 Number 7, Michigan. I'm a little surprised about Michigan with,
00:47:35 --> 00:47:41 you know, like Flint, all the issues they had in Flint and Detroit.
00:47:41 --> 00:47:46 But they said Michigan. Number six, Missouri. Let me see.
00:47:47 --> 00:47:49 New Mexico was number five.
00:47:50 --> 00:47:56 Kansas was number four. And they said Kansas ranked fourth, distinguished by
00:47:56 --> 00:48:03 nearly 30 school shootings and more than 300 reported child abductions.
00:48:03 --> 00:48:05 Wow. Whew.
00:48:07 --> 00:48:12 Number three was Arkansas. Arkansas
00:48:12 --> 00:48:20 documented over 3 cases despite a population of roughly 3 million with close
00:48:20 --> 00:48:28 to 1 rape reports involving children compounding an already troubling profile.
00:48:28 --> 00:48:36 They said it was 500 kidnappings, 6 aggravated assaults. Wow.
00:48:38 --> 00:48:46 Okay so that was number three i said yeah okay number two oh it was a tie it
00:48:46 --> 00:48:53 was a tie for number two tennessee and arkansas oh wow yeah tennessee and arkansas.
00:48:58 --> 00:49:06 It said Tennessee law the highest raw total among the top five with over 8,
00:49:07 --> 00:49:13 cases affecting minors including more than 6 okay they're the ones that
00:49:13 --> 00:49:15 had 6 aggravating assaults okay.
00:49:18 --> 00:49:27 Here's the surprise the number one state I'm gonna read what makes them number
00:49:27 --> 00:49:28 one and then I'll tell you the name,
00:49:30 --> 00:49:35 the top spot as the most dangerous state for children, posting an incident rate
00:49:35 --> 00:49:42 of 116, more than seven times higher than the safest regions.
00:49:42 --> 00:49:45 Despite a population of just over 1 million,
00:49:46 --> 00:49:53 the state recorded more than 1 cases involving minors in a single year with
00:49:53 --> 00:49:57 aggravated assaults accounting for the bulk,
00:49:57 --> 00:50:02 including nearly 600 attacks on teenagers between the ages of 10 and 19.
00:50:04 --> 00:50:11 That state is Montana. Damn. Never would have guessed. Never would have guessed that, right?
00:50:13 --> 00:50:18 Nope. Never would have guessed that. It doesn't seem like anybody lives in Montana. You know?
00:50:20 --> 00:50:22 What's the capital of Montana?
00:50:23 --> 00:50:27 What the hell if I know? Wait, hold on. What's that? Of course,
00:50:27 --> 00:50:29 we used to know all of it. Huh?
00:50:30 --> 00:50:33 No, I was going to say something, but I think that's Wisconsin.
00:50:33 --> 00:50:39 I know. I'm thinking about Idaho. I'm thinking about Des Moines, Iowa.
00:50:39 --> 00:50:42 Wait, Montana. Is it the Duke?
00:50:43 --> 00:50:46 The what? The Duke? That don't even sound right.
00:50:47 --> 00:50:51 All right, look it up. Let's see. Let's see. Helena.
00:50:52 --> 00:50:55 Helena. Okay. Helena. Elena. Okay.
00:50:57 --> 00:51:01 I've never even heard that recently. Dubuque? No, no. Helena.
00:51:02 --> 00:51:06 Helena? Oh. Like, you know, sometimes someone tell you the Capitol,
00:51:06 --> 00:51:08 you'd be like, oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
00:51:09 --> 00:51:11 I read Helena. I was like, really? Okay.
00:51:12 --> 00:51:15 Helena. Good Lord. I haven't heard that since high school, I don't think.
00:51:15 --> 00:51:17 Who talks about Montana?
00:51:17 --> 00:51:21 Yeah. No, I don't. Maybe Kanye. You know, your mom Kanye moved out there and
00:51:21 --> 00:51:25 bought all that land. Oh, yeah. You know who else had a bunch of land in Montana?
00:51:26 --> 00:51:33 Bill Jackson, the former Bulls. Yeah, that's where he lived there during the offseason.
00:51:33 --> 00:51:35 Yeah. Yeah, because...
00:51:37 --> 00:51:43 He talked about how when he took over as the coach of the Lakers,
00:51:43 --> 00:51:47 one of the reasons that he went to the Lakers is because he brought Shaq out to his lake.
00:51:48 --> 00:51:52 He had a whole lake at this property that belonged to him.
00:51:53 --> 00:51:57 And Shaq came out and talked to him.
00:51:57 --> 00:52:07 And Shaq, it's a famous story where Phil was upset with Shaq because Shaq wasn't
00:52:07 --> 00:52:09 playing as well as he should have been playing.
00:52:10 --> 00:52:13 And he was thinking about leaving. That's what it was. He was already coaching
00:52:13 --> 00:52:15 the Lakers. He was thinking about leaving.
00:52:16 --> 00:52:19 And Shaq came out there and said, I'll do anything that you ask me to do.
00:52:19 --> 00:52:22 Just don't leave and make me better.
00:52:22 --> 00:52:26 Because he was telling Shaq, he always felt Shaq could be the best player in the NBA.
00:52:27 --> 00:52:31 And so Phil said, you're going to do everything I tell you to do. And Shaq said, yes.
00:52:31 --> 00:52:36 And it started right there at that late because Phil had him doing stuff and
00:52:36 --> 00:52:37 made him get in the water.
00:52:38 --> 00:52:40 I remember he told him to be out there like 6-8.
00:52:40 --> 00:52:44 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that was a true story. It happened.
00:52:44 --> 00:52:50 And that year, Shaq was the best player in the league. He won the MVP in the
00:52:50 --> 00:52:51 championship that year. Right.
00:52:52 --> 00:52:56 Yeah, so, yeah. So, but that was in Montana.
00:52:57 --> 00:53:00 So, all right. Well, that's interesting.
00:53:00 --> 00:53:05 I mean, and notice, like I said, Probably the most popular state in that list
00:53:05 --> 00:53:11 probably would be, what, Tennessee, maybe? Yeah.
00:53:12 --> 00:53:16 South Carolina is pretty popular, I guess, right? I say Tennessee,
00:53:16 --> 00:53:18 think about Memphis, Nashville.
00:53:18 --> 00:53:22 Yeah, yeah, there's a lot of great—oh, Michigan. We can't forget about Michigan.
00:53:23 --> 00:53:28 Okay, right. Yeah, but there's no New York. There's no California. There's no Texas.
00:53:29 --> 00:53:30 There's no Florida.
00:53:31 --> 00:53:32 What other states?
00:53:34 --> 00:53:38 So Louisiana, you know, those types of states that we would expect to see on
00:53:38 --> 00:53:40 a list like this, we don't.
00:53:42 --> 00:53:45 So I just thought that was interesting. But this also says a lot,
00:53:45 --> 00:53:51 parents especially, you got to know what your children are doing or at least try to.
00:53:52 --> 00:53:54 They're not going to tell you everything. They're not going to tell you what's
00:53:54 --> 00:53:56 going on, especially if you have school-aged kids.
00:53:56 --> 00:54:03 But you gotta have, you know, now with all the tracking devices that we have
00:54:03 --> 00:54:09 now and location and everybody's doing each other's location,
00:54:09 --> 00:54:11 you gotta know where your children are.
00:54:11 --> 00:54:16 You gotta know what they're doing because this kind of stuff is real.
00:54:16 --> 00:54:21 It's real. And it's so easy for one of these children to get manipulated in
00:54:21 --> 00:54:23 some kind of way, you know?
00:54:24 --> 00:54:28 So I thought that was a good story, kind of letting people know,
00:54:29 --> 00:54:33 hey, it is dangerous out here in these streets, especially we hear so much about
00:54:33 --> 00:54:39 sex trafficking and child molestation and all of that stuff. So, yeah.
00:54:39 --> 00:54:44 Yeah. So. All right. That brings us to Leonard's favorite part of the show.
00:54:45 --> 00:54:49 Oh, it's over. OK. All right. Let me play this theme.
00:54:50 --> 00:54:55 No, no, no. Hold on. Hold on. I got it. We got to get DJ Tim Dobbs on here today.
00:54:56 --> 00:55:01 No, no, no. Hold on. We got to do your favorite part of the show first. And that's not it.
00:55:02 --> 00:55:04 It's Dave's Corner, which is your favorite part of the show.
00:55:04 --> 00:55:06 Don't try to act like it's not.
00:55:06 --> 00:55:13 But, you know, since we were talking about Clay and Megan, I thought this was...
00:55:14 --> 00:55:18 Kind of apropos to bring up. So I came across this thing.
00:55:18 --> 00:55:26 It says math, M-A-T-H, best pickup lines.
00:55:27 --> 00:55:32 So using math as a backdrop, here are some of the best pickup lines.
00:55:32 --> 00:55:34 Hold on, are you saying math, M-A-T-H?
00:55:34 --> 00:55:36 M-A-T-H, yep.
00:55:37 --> 00:55:44 Okay. Okay, so using math as part of the pickup line. Here you go.
00:55:47 --> 00:55:51 Kind of highlighted a few. Okay, here you go.
00:55:51 --> 00:55:57 Are you good at math? Can you help me solve for X?
00:55:59 --> 00:56:01 X equals your number.
00:56:02 --> 00:56:06 So they got the letter X out there and they said, okay, you need to help me
00:56:06 --> 00:56:09 solve what X is. And then, of course, X is your phone number.
00:56:09 --> 00:56:12 Okay. Do I need to throw some tomatoes or some eggs?
00:56:13 --> 00:56:18 That was the first one, man. Just count it. Okay. That was the first one. Okay.
00:56:19 --> 00:56:22 All right. Another one. I heard you like math.
00:56:23 --> 00:56:29 So what is the S-U-M of U, the letter U, in me?
00:56:30 --> 00:56:34 Okay. I like that one. Okay. There you go. All right.
00:56:35 --> 00:56:45 Why don't you be the numerator and I be the denominator and both of us reduce to the simplest forms?
00:56:48 --> 00:56:51 They, you know, unfortunately, nowadays, we got to get some,
00:56:51 --> 00:56:55 you got to say that to a girl. She's not going to know what numerator or denominator mean.
00:56:56 --> 00:57:01 I thought that was cute, though. I like that, though. Okay. Okay, here's another one.
00:57:02 --> 00:57:10 Hi, I hear you're pretty good at algebra. Will you replace my ex without asking why?
00:57:11 --> 00:57:12 The letter Y.
00:57:13 --> 00:57:17 I feel like you got to ask some nerdy, well, not nerdy, but you.
00:57:19 --> 00:57:22 It's a shame now because so many people are bad with math. They ain't going
00:57:22 --> 00:57:26 to get it. They don't, they don't get the joke and they probably won't get that, you know?
00:57:26 --> 00:57:29 So, all right, here you go.
00:57:30 --> 00:57:36 I like fractions. Do you want, do you want to do something with me?
00:57:37 --> 00:57:42 I am like a numerator because I like to be on top.
00:57:47 --> 00:57:50 You better choose wisely Who you say that to,
00:57:53 --> 00:57:59 Yeah I know these days I guess so Here's another one I was supposed to solve
00:57:59 --> 00:58:05 For the letter X I am so glad that I found The letter U instead,
00:58:06 --> 00:58:14 Okay That one's a go Okay alright I got two more for you Well, actually, three more.
00:58:15 --> 00:58:18 I'd like to be your math tutor for tonight.
00:58:18 --> 00:58:21 So this is what we're going to do. We're going to add a bed,
00:58:22 --> 00:58:26 subtract your clothes, divide your legs, and multiply.
00:58:30 --> 00:58:33 Again, you got to choose the right one to say that, too. Yeah,
00:58:33 --> 00:58:35 I know, because otherwise you're going to end up getting smacked.
00:58:37 --> 00:58:39 Okay. Do you like math?
00:58:40 --> 00:58:46 No. Me neither. In fact, the only numbers I care about is yours.
00:58:47 --> 00:58:51 I didn't like that. I mean, that was okay. That is pretty cool.
00:58:51 --> 00:58:59 You know, Dave, I feel like this so-called woman has to be a little bit,
00:58:59 --> 00:59:03 you know, it's like, you know, women will laugh at your corny jokes if they like you.
00:59:04 --> 00:59:07 But if they don't, they may roast you, you know what I mean?
00:59:08 --> 00:59:13 Yeah, well, that's true. Well, you know, nowadays, it seems like women do like corny jokes.
00:59:14 --> 00:59:19 Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Here's the last one. Are you the square root of 100?
00:59:20 --> 00:59:24 Because you are a solid 10, but too good to be real.
00:59:26 --> 00:59:27 A corny.
00:59:31 --> 00:59:37 Okay, all right, well. But this is a good way to get your kids to be interested
00:59:37 --> 00:59:43 in math, by throwing these lines at the person that they want to call them at, you know.
00:59:43 --> 00:59:46 Here you go. You know, so...
00:59:47 --> 00:59:52 Those are my math pickup lines there. You know, don't use them all.
00:59:52 --> 00:59:55 I mean, you know, well, I guess you can't use them. I guess you can't use them.
00:59:55 --> 00:59:59 You can give them to you. Look, you give them to you some young kid and go out
00:59:59 --> 01:00:04 there and tell them, you know, they'll probably mess up the joke and say, I need your wine.
01:00:05 --> 01:00:13 So, yeah, it'll be like, I need your wine so I can get on top of something crazy. Oh, man.
01:00:14 --> 01:00:19 And anyway, folks, well, there you have it. But that's our show for tonight.
01:00:20 --> 01:00:25 We really appreciate you guys coming out and hanging out with us and listening.
01:00:25 --> 01:00:30 Anything you want to add? Yeah. To all the ladies out there,
01:00:30 --> 01:00:34 I just want to say, don't be making your man sleep in the doghouse this week.
01:00:35 --> 01:00:41 You know, don't be burning his ear about how bad men are and she was a good woman.
01:00:41 --> 01:00:45 You know, just let, you know, sometimes you got to let the celebrities do what
01:00:45 --> 01:00:49 the celebrities do. Yeah. And, you know, you do what you do.
01:00:50 --> 01:00:56 Yeah. I mean, you know, after all, we can only look at their lives. We got to live ours.
01:00:56 --> 01:01:01 You know what I mean? Yeah. So, but I'm with you on that, man.
01:01:01 --> 01:01:04 I get it. I get it. So, all right.

01:01:08 --> 01:01:10 Tuesday. Have a good evening.
01:01:25 --> 01:01:28 With your host, Dave and Lynn.
