On this episode of Newz and Trendz, hosts Dave and Len welcome community leader and candidate Shay Frisby to discuss her background, her narrow 2024 nomination loss, and her campaign priorities—living wages, affordable housing, justice reform, environmental justice and universal child care.
The conversation also covers current headlines and community concerns: Cracker Barrel’s logo change and public reaction, a wrongful arrest tied to NYPD facial-recognition technology, online bullying after viral selfies, and local solutions for Claymont and Brandywine Hundred. Listeners are encouraged to get involved and follow Shea’s campaign.

00:02:24 --> 00:02:30 whatever chemicals need to go in and throw that cover over it. Okay.

00:03:32 --> 00:03:37 No, I did. I didn't count September in mine. Okay. I mean, today is the second,
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38 but yeah, don't count it though.
00:03:42 --> 00:03:45 Well, I'm glad to see that you made it through the weekend, okay,
00:03:45 --> 00:03:48 because you're coming in hot, I see, already.
00:03:51 --> 00:03:55 So, did you do anything special? Well, you know, remember I was telling you,
00:03:55 --> 00:04:02 I went to Virginia, Virginia Beach area, and we were working on a house all weekend long.
00:04:02 --> 00:04:07 So trying to do some renovations, a house my brother-in-law has.
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09 So that was pretty much my weekend.
00:04:10 --> 00:04:16 No barbecuing down there while you were down there? No, no, no barbecuing, no hanging.
00:04:16 --> 00:04:20 Well, I mean, we did go for dinner one night on the Virginia Beach Boardwalk,
00:04:21 --> 00:04:24 this Indian restaurant. Very good. I can't think of the name, but it was good.
00:04:25 --> 00:04:31 And really, that was about it. You know, we didn't get any invites to any Labor
00:04:31 --> 00:04:36 Day barbecue or cookouts, like, you know, like something you might have gone to.
00:04:36 --> 00:04:42 But I didn't really get any invites to anything like that.
00:04:42 --> 00:04:48 But I did go to the union function given by the AFL-CIO, you know,
00:04:48 --> 00:04:54 being a proud union president. and seconded board member, you know, I have to definitely.
00:04:55 --> 00:04:58 Be part of solidarity when it
00:04:58 --> 00:05:03 comes to the union thing and got a chance to hang out yesterday over at banning
00:05:03 --> 00:05:10 park with all the public officials elected officials like well i ain't gonna
00:05:10 --> 00:05:15 name drop anybody but you know but you name them all the top ones were there

00:05:17 --> 00:05:24 you know, so, and they actually served, served our food for us, matter of fact. Okay.
00:05:25 --> 00:05:28 So, you know, so that was pretty cool, you know, and they hung around and they
00:05:28 --> 00:05:31 talked to people. So that was good. So, but it was a good day.
00:05:32 --> 00:05:32 It was a good day yesterday.
00:05:33 --> 00:05:39 You know, the perfect way to hang out on a Labor Day. So, so that's what I did.
00:05:40 --> 00:05:43 I didn't get any invites today. I thought you were going to do something today,
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46 but I guess you did. You talking about today, Tuesday?
00:05:49 --> 00:05:57 I mean, Dave, someone's got to work. Someone's got jobs. Look, you ain't got no job.
00:06:00 --> 00:06:05 You got no job. You work, but you ain't got no job. Just put it that way. Very good.
00:06:06 --> 00:06:09 I was off today, so I was hoping you would say, oh, you off today?
00:06:10 --> 00:06:13 Let's go ahead. Let's throw a couple things on the grill, and I'll come over to your house and eat it.
00:06:13 --> 00:06:17 All right. Well, Dave, after this, why don't you throw a couple of things on
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19 the grill and I'll come over to your house and eat it, man.
00:06:19 --> 00:06:22 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, we ain't doing that. It's too late now.
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24 You messed up on it already, so.
00:06:24 --> 00:06:33 But anyway, well, folks, we are blessed enough to have a guest on with us again today, and,
00:06:34 --> 00:06:38 I'm going to have Leonard kind of tell you about who this person is,
00:06:38 --> 00:06:42 and then let's have a conversation with her.
00:06:42 --> 00:06:47 Yep. So Dave and guest or Dave and audience.
00:06:47 --> 00:06:51 Today, we have a guest. We have Shea Frisbee. She is a community leader,
00:06:51 --> 00:06:57 activist, minister, wife, mother, grandmother, and entrepreneur dedicated to
00:06:57 --> 00:07:00 service, justice, and positive change.
00:07:00 --> 00:07:07 She holds a degree in law and policy and a master's in administration of justice and leadership.
00:07:08 --> 00:07:13 Born in North Philadelphia, her early life was shaped by both struggle and strength.
00:07:13 --> 00:07:19 Growing up in a community where resilience was essential, she learned to persevere
00:07:19 --> 00:07:24 through challenges, find hope despite limited resources, and support others
00:07:24 --> 00:07:27 by leaning on the power of unity.
00:07:27 --> 00:07:33 In November 2024, Shea sought the Democratic nomination for the special election
00:07:33 --> 00:07:39 in Delaware Senate District number five, where she fell short by just three
00:07:39 --> 00:07:42 votes out of only 43 cast.
00:07:42 --> 00:07:50 She is now campaigning to be back on the ballot for the primary election on September 15, 2026.
00:07:50 --> 00:07:56 Her work reflects a deep commitment to community, leadership, and justice.
00:07:56 --> 00:08:02 She currently serves as supervisor in Delaware's Division of Social Services
00:08:02 --> 00:08:08 and owns 4113, an events platform that uplifts community voices.
00:08:09 --> 00:08:15 She previously managed the Stand By Me financial empowerment program and organized
00:08:15 --> 00:08:22 over 500 child care workers through her work with the international and local
00:08:22 --> 00:08:28 AFSCME Council 81 to secure collective bargaining rights.
00:08:28 --> 00:08:33 Her journey reflects a lifelong mission to champion fairness,
00:08:33 --> 00:08:38 extend opportunity, and deliver real solution for Delaware families.
00:08:39 --> 00:08:43 So without further ado, we'd like to welcome Shea to the show. How are you, Shea?
00:08:44 --> 00:08:49 Well, thank you. Thank you for having me. Good, good. Thank you for joining us, of course.
00:08:49 --> 00:08:54 So I guess to start out, and I'm just going to start kind of early.
00:08:54 --> 00:08:59 So it looks like you have a degree in law and policy with the Masters in Administration
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01 of Justice and Leadership.
00:09:01 --> 00:09:07 So I guess when you are pursuing those degrees, did you already have in mind
00:09:07 --> 00:09:11 kind of like what you were looking to do or what career field or,
00:09:11 --> 00:09:14 you know, what your passions would be? I did.
00:09:14 --> 00:09:18 I think earlier on, I wanted to be an attorney.
00:09:19 --> 00:09:27 And so what my goal was, was to pursue law so that I could be a family law attorney.
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30 That's actually, I wanted to go into family law. Okay.
00:09:30 --> 00:09:35 And I kind of got diverted by entering into the child care field,
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37 but that was mainly because I was a mom.
00:09:38 --> 00:09:44 And, you know, at that time, having six children. Oh, wow.
00:09:44 --> 00:09:49 Yes. I decided that I was going to stay at home and raise my family.
00:09:49 --> 00:09:55 So. Okay. And then, so can you speak about, for people who may not be familiar
00:09:55 --> 00:10:03 with you, can you speak about some of your, I guess, community involvement and activism? zone?
00:10:04 --> 00:10:09 Yes. So as far as my community, I live in Claymont, Delaware.
00:10:10 --> 00:10:17 So I'm in a Brandy 100 area. And I have been in, I've been a resident,
00:10:17 --> 00:10:20 a longtime resident for over 31, for about 31 years now.
00:10:20 --> 00:10:27 So I raised my children here with church here and have been a civic association
00:10:27 --> 00:10:29 member. I have been a block captain.
00:10:29 --> 00:10:37 I currently sit on my representative district as a member on the RD.
00:10:38 --> 00:10:46 Which is RD7. And for the most part, I have been in the community in various
00:10:46 --> 00:10:52 spaces, just always being engaging with leaders in the community.
00:10:52 --> 00:10:58 I have done some fundraising for leaders in the community, and I'm actually
00:10:58 --> 00:11:02 getting ready to do a community day and health fair, which I helped to organize.
00:11:02 --> 00:11:07 And I've been helping to organize that the last four times that it was introduced
00:11:07 --> 00:11:11 to the community. So I'm very active in my community at the moment.
00:11:12 --> 00:11:17 Okay. That's awesome to hear. And I guess, so when we're reading about the special
00:11:17 --> 00:11:25 election in 2024, can you kind of explain, I guess, what was the purpose of the special election?
00:11:26 --> 00:11:34 How did, and I won't say how did you get involved, but how did you kind of throw your hat in that ring.
00:11:35 --> 00:11:40 And then, you know, and of course, unfortunately, it looks like you fell short by three votes.
00:11:40 --> 00:11:43 What made you kind of come back around and kind of do it? Because,
00:11:43 --> 00:11:46 you know, I think a lot of people get discouraged.
00:11:47 --> 00:11:51 And, you know, Dave and I had this conversation before. I think,
00:11:51 --> 00:11:56 you know, I think being a politician or someone kind of in that limelight is
00:11:56 --> 00:12:01 probably one of the hardest things to do because you have about, this is my opinion,
00:12:01 --> 00:12:07 you have about less than half of the people supporting you and the rest of the
00:12:07 --> 00:12:11 people just waiting for something to happen to give them almost something to
00:12:11 --> 00:12:12 talk about or gossip about.
00:12:13 --> 00:12:16 So I guess with that said, can you kind of explain that 2024,
00:12:16 --> 00:12:23 I guess, special election journey and what made you come back again and say,
00:12:23 --> 00:12:26 okay, it may not have happened this time, but I'm going to go do it again.
00:12:27 --> 00:12:33 So this is where I have to give credit where credit's due, and I have to give God more glory for that.
00:12:33 --> 00:12:39 Because I've been through a lot as far as within my career.
00:12:39 --> 00:12:44 I have, you know, the background in law, the background in education.
00:12:44 --> 00:12:48 I've done financial coaching. So in a lot of different ways,
00:12:48 --> 00:12:52 I've touched a lot of people and a lot of people have touched me.
00:12:53 --> 00:12:59 So last year, I can tell you that it was my community that came to me and asked
00:12:59 --> 00:13:04 me to run for the nomination for the special election.
00:13:06 --> 00:13:12 Kyle Evans Gay at the time, Senator Kyle Evans Gay, it was projected that she
00:13:12 --> 00:13:15 was more than likely going to win for lieutenant governor.
00:13:16 --> 00:13:21 And then her seat would go vacant and that would trigger a special election.
00:13:22 --> 00:13:25 So, when that happened, I can tell you I was sitting on my couch,
00:13:25 --> 00:13:30 I was watching TV, was not thinking about politics.
00:13:30 --> 00:13:36 I think I joined a lot of people at that time where I was like over politics
00:13:36 --> 00:13:40 and just really watching something on Netflix, I think, at the time.
00:13:40 --> 00:13:46 And I got a phone call and it was actually my RD chair, Asia Smith.
00:13:47 --> 00:13:53 And she, you know, just had a heart to heart conversation with me along with
00:13:53 --> 00:13:54 some others that were with her.
00:13:54 --> 00:14:02 And they asked me to run, asked me if I would consider running on that special election campaign.
00:14:02 --> 00:14:04 And I did not answer right away.
00:14:04 --> 00:14:09 I actually told them I had to pray about it. I had to think about it.
00:14:10 --> 00:14:16 And, you know, there was a whole lot of things that just rushed to mind, right?
00:14:17 --> 00:14:22 One, am I going to be able to do this? Two, do I have the capacity?
00:14:23 --> 00:14:26 And three, why am I doing it? Why would I even do this, right?
00:14:27 --> 00:14:31 So when I thought about it some more and I prayed about it, I decided,
00:14:31 --> 00:14:33 yes, I'm going to step into this role.
00:14:34 --> 00:14:39 And one, just to get to understand, for people to get to understand me,
00:14:39 --> 00:14:44 who I am as a person and how I really care and would advocate for my community.
00:14:45 --> 00:14:48 I have values that I believe in and was believing in at that time.
00:14:48 --> 00:14:54 And it didn't take much for me to realize that God had put me on the path.
00:14:54 --> 00:15:01 With everything that I have been doing all of my life, I just feel like my steps have been in order.
00:15:01 --> 00:15:06 And they all pretty much led me to that day, that night.
00:15:07 --> 00:15:10 So I decided, okay, yes, I would go ahead and I would run.
00:15:11 --> 00:15:14 There was a team that came together and they helped support the effort.
00:15:14 --> 00:15:17 They pretty much worked with me day and night.
00:15:17 --> 00:15:22 And when I say day and night, it was a literal, I believe three,
00:15:23 --> 00:15:30 two, three weeks or four weeks maybe of pressure, Just understanding how to have the conversation,
00:15:30 --> 00:15:35 knowing who I would need to talk to, speaking to other RDs,
00:15:35 --> 00:15:38 learning about what some of the issues were that people were facing,
00:15:38 --> 00:15:44 what was keeping people up at night, and just being tuned into that and then
00:15:44 --> 00:15:47 putting myself out there to be, you know, drilled.
00:15:48 --> 00:15:55 You know, so it was a lot. But I had people who not only came to me and asked
00:15:55 --> 00:16:02 me to run along with Asia, but they actually took position as a core team committee for me.
00:16:02 --> 00:16:06 And they actually helped me to strengthen myself in the in the run.
00:16:07 --> 00:16:12 So, yeah, that's pretty much how that all happened. And I would say that from
00:16:12 --> 00:16:20 that journey, why I decided to run again is because I learned a lot about myself.
00:16:21 --> 00:16:27 What I learned about myself was that like so many people that I live that live
00:16:27 --> 00:16:32 around me and that I that I interact with and engage with daily,
00:16:32 --> 00:16:37 whether they live in my area or not, we share a lot of the same concerns.
00:16:38 --> 00:16:42 And we've been sharing a lot of the same concerns. It's not really new.
00:16:42 --> 00:16:48 We just haven't, you know, now and I think the pressure is on and people are
00:16:48 --> 00:16:53 starting to become more vocal because there's so many things hitting people
00:16:53 --> 00:16:56 from the left and from the right, whether it's taxes,
00:16:56 --> 00:17:00 whether it's, you know, financial, you know, barriers.
00:17:01 --> 00:17:04 Educational barriers, you know, racial barriers.
00:17:04 --> 00:17:08 There's a lot of things, you know, environmental barriers.
00:17:09 --> 00:17:14 Those things are all issues that people are facing every day.
00:17:14 --> 00:17:20 I am facing them, too. And I realized that, yeah, this is why I need to be here.
00:17:20 --> 00:17:24 This is why I believe that I'm in the right place at the right time.
00:17:25 --> 00:17:31 And I have a purpose for this mission. So I decided I was going to run again.
00:17:32 --> 00:17:35 Okay. And then I guess for, you know, people who may not be familiar as well,
00:17:36 --> 00:17:42 what are, I guess, your campaign platforms or, you know, initiatives that you
00:17:42 --> 00:17:45 would like to put in place should you be elected?
00:17:45 --> 00:17:50 Living wage. I do believe that people deserve a living wage.
00:17:50 --> 00:17:56 You know, affordable housing. You know, we hear a lot about rent stabilization.
00:17:57 --> 00:18:01 We hear a lot about homelessness, things like that.
00:18:01 --> 00:18:07 I do believe that we need to have some policies around affordable housing for people.
00:18:08 --> 00:18:12 Justice reform and universal child care.
00:18:12 --> 00:18:18 You know, I got to go back to some of my roots in where I've with the journey
00:18:18 --> 00:18:21 I've been on, what I've done in the past,
00:18:22 --> 00:18:26 working as an organizer with you mentioned the international and the and the
00:18:26 --> 00:18:28 local AFSCME Council 81.
00:18:29 --> 00:18:35 I was I was blessed to be able to sit down with, learn from,
00:18:35 --> 00:18:39 teach. I was also a child care provider at that time.
00:18:39 --> 00:18:43 And I helped to organize child care providers for collective bargaining rights.
00:18:43 --> 00:18:47 And the reason for that was because these are folks that are taking care of
00:18:47 --> 00:18:50 our smallest, you know, gym, right?
00:18:50 --> 00:18:55 They're taking care of our children. And if they are not healthy,
00:18:55 --> 00:18:58 if they are not economically well.
00:18:59 --> 00:19:04 You know, if their wages are low, if they can't make a living as a business,
00:19:04 --> 00:19:08 they're going to push that price off on our working families.
00:19:08 --> 00:19:12 And then if our working families are already strapped, you know,
00:19:12 --> 00:19:16 they are having a difficult time because, of course, living wages are not where
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18 they could be or should be, I think.
00:19:19 --> 00:19:22 It's just a vicious cycle, you know.
00:19:22 --> 00:19:31 But you kind of have to think in terms of these are areas where protecting our
00:19:31 --> 00:19:37 most, I think, our assets, our children, our businesses,
00:19:37 --> 00:19:43 our air quality, green spaces, all of those things, I think is necessary.
00:19:43 --> 00:19:48 So when you ask me, what are we going to, what am I going to do when I get into office?
00:19:48 --> 00:19:53 I think it's really looking at those areas. is this is my platform.
00:19:53 --> 00:19:54 These are the things that I want to see.
00:19:54 --> 00:19:59 I want to see people have good living wages that's going to help them pay for
00:19:59 --> 00:20:06 the services they need, purchase the food, the clothing, or whatever they need to survive.
00:20:06 --> 00:20:09 Basic needs are taken care of.
00:20:09 --> 00:20:11 They have living quarters.
00:20:12 --> 00:20:21 I'm so heart sick with watching and observing people who are living on the street because they don't have,
00:20:22 --> 00:20:30 anywhere to go or in their cars. I do believe that we can come together and we can do better.
00:20:30 --> 00:20:33 I think elected officials can do better.
00:20:34 --> 00:20:39 And I want to represent that as an example, what that would look like,
00:20:39 --> 00:20:40 because I think we've gotten away from it.
00:20:41 --> 00:20:44 You know, sometimes when people are doing things for a long time,
00:20:44 --> 00:20:49 whether you're a career, you know, politician or whatever, sometimes you can
00:20:49 --> 00:20:51 become apathetic. Right.
00:20:51 --> 00:20:55 You can become, you know, you can, you know, lose, you know, empathy.
00:20:56 --> 00:20:59 Yeah, they kind of forget where they came from. You can get past empathy, right?
00:20:59 --> 00:21:05 So, you know, those are things that happen when you're in something too long.
00:21:05 --> 00:21:12 And I just think that I want to represent the example of what an elected official
00:21:12 --> 00:21:19 who cares and is approachable and listens and is responsive and can, you know,
00:21:19 --> 00:21:24 be a good voice for people and advocate for them because they're taking their
00:21:24 --> 00:21:27 voices and that is what they're speaking on,
00:21:27 --> 00:21:29 not making it up as they go along. You know what I mean?
00:21:30 --> 00:21:34 But I think that's kind of the the representation that I want to bring to the
00:21:34 --> 00:21:36 table. And I have great role models out there, too.
00:21:36 --> 00:21:41 I mean, we've had we have some great role models in the legislature right now.
00:21:41 --> 00:21:45 And and I think that but there's still so many more seats that really could
00:21:45 --> 00:21:53 use some great role models for what an example of an elected official that is
00:21:53 --> 00:21:56 elected for the people and not the politics look like.
00:21:57 --> 00:22:02 Gosh, I definitely understand that. So I know we talked about some of the more serious stuff.
00:22:02 --> 00:22:08 On a lighter note, what are some fun things about Shea Frisbee,
00:22:08 --> 00:22:12 hobbies, quirks that people may not know?
00:22:12 --> 00:22:16 Like, for instance, you may not know that Dave loves to sing.
00:22:17 --> 00:22:22 Oh, nice. Yep. He just be singing all the time. He loves to cut grass.
00:22:22 --> 00:22:24 Like that's just one of his hobbies. He just likes to cut grass.
00:22:25 --> 00:22:32 And he has a mission to watch every movie and every TV show known to man and then quiz you on.
00:22:33 --> 00:22:37 So, yep. So, I mean, those are all, you know, some of Dave's works.
00:22:37 --> 00:22:44 What are some things about Shea Frisbee that people may be surprised to know in a fun way?
00:22:44 --> 00:22:50 Oh, my gosh. I am a big fan of Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman is my favorite.
00:22:51 --> 00:22:55 Oh, really? Hold on. The new Wonder Woman or the old Wonder Woman?
00:22:56 --> 00:23:00 It's really for me. I mean, I'm not going to put my age out there,
00:23:00 --> 00:23:04 but for me, it is the old Wonder Woman. The Linda Carter.
00:23:04 --> 00:23:07 Yes. And, you know, I just, you know, that was where, you know,
00:23:08 --> 00:23:11 I just, I can't, it takes me back to my childhood.
00:23:11 --> 00:23:15 And I think that's the main reason why, not that the new Wonder Woman isn't
00:23:15 --> 00:23:21 great, but it's just the ability to kind of go back, what I call home,
00:23:21 --> 00:23:27 right, to your childhood and just reflect on things that made you smile or made
00:23:27 --> 00:23:32 you feel like you were powerful or, you know, you could take on the world or things like that.
00:23:32 --> 00:23:36 And Wonder Woman is my superhero, so I love her.
00:23:37 --> 00:23:41 I think the other thing is that I don't double that. I don't know if Dave knows
00:23:41 --> 00:23:43 this, which he probably would.
00:23:45 --> 00:23:45 Yeah.
00:23:47 --> 00:23:53 But I do jump Double Dutch. Now, I must admit, this year has been challenging
00:23:53 --> 00:23:55 for me to get back to my team.
00:23:55 --> 00:23:58 Double Dutch therapy, if you all are out there, I know that if they're out there
00:23:58 --> 00:24:00 and they hear them, they're going to get out of my mouth.
00:24:02 --> 00:24:06 The Double Dutch therapy has been there. We have been jumping.
00:24:06 --> 00:24:11 I've been jumping Double Dutch with the ladies, 40 and over,
00:24:11 --> 00:24:17 most of them, for probably about four years now. Oh, wow. Okay, so y'all are serious.
00:24:17 --> 00:24:24 Like this. We're serious. We are serious. And I mean, they have been at any time there's an event.
00:24:24 --> 00:24:30 I know that I've I've had even the state they've come out and they have represented
00:24:30 --> 00:24:32 in numbers and they are just amazing.
00:24:32 --> 00:24:36 So I love double Dutch. So anybody wants to jump double Dutch,
00:24:36 --> 00:24:40 play jacks, things like that. So I guess that's that's it for me. Right. That's the fun.
00:24:40 --> 00:24:45 I need to go back to my childhood funny things.
00:24:45 --> 00:24:51 And that's really what gets me laughing and joking and coming out of my shell
00:24:51 --> 00:24:55 is that ability to be able to travel back and do those things.
00:24:56 --> 00:25:00 Sure. And then my last question, then I'll let Dave proceed.
00:25:00 --> 00:25:05 So I know you talked about us having some good politicians here in Delaware.
00:25:05 --> 00:25:12 I won't make you call anybody out, but are there any maybe national politicians who,
00:25:12 --> 00:25:16 and I won't say you kind of would like to role model yourself after,
00:25:16 --> 00:25:20 but you kind of see them as maybe just a positive influence.
00:25:21 --> 00:25:28 Well, yes. I mean, if you say a national, I would say Lisa Blunt Rochester. No, absolutely.
00:25:28 --> 00:25:38 And not just because she is a national leader, but she leads in two different ways.
00:25:38 --> 00:25:47 She leads from the, you know, obviously the political side and representing her state.
00:25:48 --> 00:25:53 She represents the people and she comes back. She engages us with what's going
00:25:53 --> 00:25:56 on at the federal level and things like that.
00:25:56 --> 00:26:00 She keeps us informed, but also on the spiritual level, because I think,
00:26:00 --> 00:26:03 you know, when you have the grounding and in my case, you know,
00:26:03 --> 00:26:11 the grounding of faith that governs you. It helps to keep you focused on what's important.
00:26:12 --> 00:26:18 So I would say, Lisa, I will also account, you know, I would say Representative
00:26:18 --> 00:26:21 Larry Lambert in my own district.
00:26:21 --> 00:26:25 He is the example.
00:26:25 --> 00:26:31 I've often said to him he has set a bar, whereas he keeps people engaged.
00:26:31 --> 00:26:37 He always not just communicates to the community, but takes community concerns
00:26:37 --> 00:26:44 back to the General Assembly and advocates for what people want to see happening
00:26:44 --> 00:26:45 within their community.
00:26:45 --> 00:26:51 Representative Medina, another person that I think I would, you know,
00:26:51 --> 00:26:57 I look at these these people and I think, wow, they really get it. Right.
00:26:58 --> 00:27:04 So they really get listening to their to the community, reflecting what the people want.
00:27:04 --> 00:27:11 And because I am a servant leader, that's that's what I qualify myself as a servant leader.
00:27:12 --> 00:27:21 I think that that is important when you're a person like that and you're out to serve people. Right.
00:27:21 --> 00:27:26 It's really, it gets a little technical, I think, within politics.
00:27:26 --> 00:27:36 If you get too heavy on the serving corporations or big businesses because they
00:27:36 --> 00:27:38 have money that fund you or,
00:27:38 --> 00:27:42 you know, someone once told me, whoever funds you runs you.
00:27:44 --> 00:27:49 You know, and it stuck with me, you know, and it's absolutely true.
00:27:49 --> 00:27:54 If you want to be able to authentically and genuinely represent people,
00:27:54 --> 00:27:56 I do think that you need to,
00:27:56 --> 00:28:03 you have to decide where are your values and what is it going to be,
00:28:03 --> 00:28:06 you know, who are you going to really serve?
00:28:06 --> 00:28:08 And for me, it's the people.
00:28:08 --> 00:28:13 And they serve people. So that's why I chose those three people. Yeah.
00:28:14 --> 00:28:16 And, you know, I definitely agree with that because, you know,
00:28:17 --> 00:28:20 I think generally and maybe the way we should think about when we think about
00:28:20 --> 00:28:26 politicians, politicians, you know, we think about them serving the people.
00:28:26 --> 00:28:30 So it's kind of like you can't serve the people.
00:28:30 --> 00:28:34 What kind of like, you know, what's the saying? Like you can't serve two masters
00:28:34 --> 00:28:41 where, you know, since the people elected you, the people can elect somebody
00:28:41 --> 00:28:43 else. So I definitely agree with that.
00:28:43 --> 00:28:48 And I think community is what most people want to see.
00:28:48 --> 00:28:54 Like they may not agree on everything, but I feel like a surefire way to get
00:28:54 --> 00:28:58 ousted in the next cycle is not to listen to the people.
00:28:59 --> 00:29:03 So I definitely agree with that. And I also want to let me travel back a little
00:29:03 --> 00:29:06 bit because I said I like to give credit where credit is due.
00:29:06 --> 00:29:09 And I know that I didn't say Congresswoman, Lisa Blunt Rochester.
00:29:10 --> 00:29:12 I want to put it out there because she, you know, well, you know,
00:29:13 --> 00:29:16 because even though I know, you know, I know that it does titles for everybody
00:29:16 --> 00:29:19 isn't doesn't really matter. I know it doesn't really matter for me.
00:29:19 --> 00:29:22 But, you know, that respect is what it is.
00:29:22 --> 00:29:26 You give respect where respect is due. And, you know, that's the other thing
00:29:26 --> 00:29:31 is that, you know, like you mentioned, when you're not listening to people,
00:29:31 --> 00:29:33 the people that elected you,
00:29:33 --> 00:29:39 then my my my position is that you're not there for the right reason.
00:29:40 --> 00:29:42 Yeah. You didn't.
00:29:43 --> 00:29:49 People elect because they believe in something that you stand for.
00:29:49 --> 00:29:53 They believe in something you can do that, you know,
00:29:54 --> 00:30:00 10, 50 people, you know, they are not able to do from their homes or
00:30:00 --> 00:30:05 their kitchens, but they elect somebody to go and represent them.
00:30:06 --> 00:30:10 And that is what, you know, I believe, you know, like you're right.
00:30:11 --> 00:30:16 If you fail to do that, then you fail the people that elected you for that position.
00:30:16 --> 00:30:21 It's like a job, right? If you don't do that, I mean, think about it.
00:30:21 --> 00:30:24 What is the performance plan here? Yeah.
00:30:25 --> 00:30:31 Yeah, I agree. Dave, I think your microphone's on mute. I hear you trying to say something.
00:30:32 --> 00:30:35 Okay. Hold on. You're back on? Okay, there you go.
00:30:36 --> 00:30:42 I know she didn't say performance plan. But anyway, that's an inside joke.
00:30:42 --> 00:30:47 That's an inside joke there. But no, Dave, I get it because it's probably some
00:30:47 --> 00:30:49 terminology y'all use at stake.
00:30:49 --> 00:30:51 It is. It is. It is.
00:30:55 --> 00:30:58 Okay. Are you done, Mr. Young?
00:30:59 --> 00:31:02 Yes, I am, Mr. Coulter. Okay. Okay. All right.
00:31:02 --> 00:31:08 As you can see, my partner likes to, you know, throw things out there just in
00:31:08 --> 00:31:10 the wind. But anyway. Do you not sing?
00:31:11 --> 00:31:13 Do you not sing? I sing.
00:31:14 --> 00:31:19 Do you not cut grass? When I have to. Okay. And do you not watch every single
00:31:19 --> 00:31:21 movie and TV show you can?
00:31:21 --> 00:31:26 See? I watch movies and TV shows, not every single one.
00:31:26 --> 00:31:29 But anyway, because you don't watch them, that's a whole other story.
00:31:29 --> 00:31:31 But anyway, it's not about us right now.
00:31:31 --> 00:31:34 I'll get back to you later. Anyway.
00:31:36 --> 00:31:40 Well, Ms. Frisbee, I got a simple, simple question to ask you here.
00:31:42 --> 00:31:48 Why you? Why should they elect you? Well, that's a good question.
00:31:50 --> 00:32:01 Well, I think they should elect me because I believe that I can bring the different
00:32:01 --> 00:32:05 perspective that people are looking for.
00:32:05 --> 00:32:07 People are tired. I'm tired, too.
00:32:08 --> 00:32:13 And I think people should elect me because I'm not afraid.
00:32:14 --> 00:32:23 I am serious. I have been really doing a lot of this work for a long time, just not in the office.
00:32:24 --> 00:32:29 I've been advocating for people. I've been, you know, speaking up for people.
00:32:29 --> 00:32:35 I have been, you know, sitting down and talking to people and listening to them.
00:32:35 --> 00:32:43 And in every walk of life that I have entered into on my journey,
00:32:43 --> 00:32:48 I've taken the voices of people, whether it's through my coaching,
00:32:48 --> 00:32:50 through, you know, financial literacy,
00:32:51 --> 00:32:53 through child care, within the state.
00:32:53 --> 00:32:58 I work, you know, in customer relations unit, you know, when people call in
00:32:58 --> 00:33:03 and they have issues with their benefits and things like that. They call into our unit.
00:33:04 --> 00:33:08 They can be, you know, governor constituents calls and, you know,
00:33:09 --> 00:33:10 different types of things.
00:33:10 --> 00:33:13 I can see that I have touched all of those areas.
00:33:13 --> 00:33:19 So I think people should elect me because I believe I'm like them.
00:33:19 --> 00:33:32 I am very ready for change and I am relatable, I'm genuine, and I'm ready.
00:33:33 --> 00:33:37 All right, folks, you heard her. She says she's ready. Okay,
00:33:37 --> 00:33:40 she ready? Like, she had it said.
00:33:43 --> 00:33:46 So, your platform. Mm-hmm.
00:33:47 --> 00:33:53 What is your platform? My platform is on living wage.
00:33:53 --> 00:33:56 As far as, like, what I believe in.
00:33:57 --> 00:34:03 All right, what? Go ahead. Yeah, every household deserves respect and financial stability.
00:34:04 --> 00:34:11 So, you know, tax fairness, you know, building affordable and sustainable communities.
00:34:12 --> 00:34:17 You know, when I think about our communities and I think about the green spaces
00:34:17 --> 00:34:24 and again, infrastructure, things that had happened around the building up all around us.
00:34:24 --> 00:34:29 But thank goodness, you know, that Representative Lambert just passed the Pollution
00:34:29 --> 00:34:31 Accountability Act because before that,
00:34:32 --> 00:34:36 there wasn't even a checkpoint for checking, you know, companies that were just
00:34:36 --> 00:34:39 emulating pollution in the air.
00:34:40 --> 00:34:43 And so they weren't really paying high fees for that.
00:34:43 --> 00:34:50 But those were things that were, has been a problem in my community and other communities around me.
00:34:51 --> 00:34:56 But these are areas that I think This is a part of my platform and it's why
00:34:56 --> 00:35:02 environmental justice, climate initiatives, those things are all part of my platform.
00:35:03 --> 00:35:06 And I go back to child care because I can't get away from it.
00:35:06 --> 00:35:09 You know, again, universal child care.
00:35:09 --> 00:35:16 I want to see that child care providers have a living wage as well.
00:35:16 --> 00:35:23 You know, that families have a living wage. So this is all my platform areas that I want to focus on.
00:35:24 --> 00:35:26 All right. Great. Great.
00:35:27 --> 00:35:32 Claymine, it's right now going through a lot of major changes.
00:35:33 --> 00:35:39 You know, I see they're doing a lot of building up of the communities around Claymine.
00:35:39 --> 00:35:49 And, you know, after years of having some of the local businesses go away and, you know, cease,
00:35:50 --> 00:35:55 I mean, you know, when you look at the Tri-State Mall and what's happened with
00:35:55 --> 00:35:57 the Tri-State Mall and watching it,
00:35:58 --> 00:36:04 you know, the stores leave and then eventually the mall itself and then some
00:36:04 --> 00:36:06 of the other businesses in that area.
00:36:06 --> 00:36:12 You know, I know that's a very important thing is to build that area back up
00:36:12 --> 00:36:16 again and make it as strong as it used to be at one point.
00:36:17 --> 00:36:21 What do you see as solutions for being able to help with that?
00:36:22 --> 00:36:27 Wow. Well, I see that has to be.
00:36:28 --> 00:36:32 I'm trying to I'm trying to think of how to frame this.
00:36:32 --> 00:36:40 So we have a community renaissance development corporation that is pretty much
00:36:40 --> 00:36:43 the voice for the Claymont community.
00:36:43 --> 00:36:50 But I do want to be clear, the Senate District 5 is not just Claymont. It's all of Brandy 100.
00:36:51 --> 00:36:58 But specifically for Claymont, that particular CRDC does position itself as
00:36:58 --> 00:37:00 the voice. So here's what I'm going to say with that.
00:37:01 --> 00:37:09 People have to be, in my opinion, made aware that they have a strong voice collectively
00:37:09 --> 00:37:13 to be able to determine what they want to see happen in their community.
00:37:13 --> 00:37:16 Not just claymont but also the other
00:37:16 --> 00:37:20 areas art and you know you know again
00:37:20 --> 00:37:23 all of brandy 100 because when when
00:37:23 --> 00:37:30 people realize that when they are more aware of what's happening the decisions
00:37:30 --> 00:37:36 that are being made like the one map code decisions on our there were like roundabouts
00:37:36 --> 00:37:41 They were trying to do some some changes to how our road patterns were here.
00:37:42 --> 00:37:47 And in that case, some people came out and they spoke and they were able to
00:37:47 --> 00:37:51 determine that, no, they don't want a roundabout.
00:37:51 --> 00:37:55 They didn't want roundabouts in the area. Well, that happened because people
00:37:55 --> 00:37:57 became aware of what was going on.
00:37:57 --> 00:38:01 They became aware of meetings that was happening in the community and they got
00:38:01 --> 00:38:04 engaged and they got involved and they came out and spoke up.
00:38:04 --> 00:38:10 They have to continue to do that When people come out They listen They hear
00:38:10 --> 00:38:15 about what's happening They're made aware of the decisions That are being made for them,
00:38:16 --> 00:38:21 And I'm careful to say for them Because that's where the problem is.
00:38:22 --> 00:38:30 You know, when decisions are being made, people should be a part of the decision-making process.
00:38:30 --> 00:38:34 They should have a voice. They should be aware of, you know,
00:38:34 --> 00:38:41 the meetings and the decision processes so that they can lend to it what they are getting out of it.
00:38:41 --> 00:38:45 Because if they don't, if they're not a part of that process,
00:38:45 --> 00:38:49 what happens is something's done, somebody's made a decision,
00:38:49 --> 00:38:51 and they just, people are impacted by it.
00:38:51 --> 00:38:57 And that's kind of like where we are today in a lot of ways.
00:38:57 --> 00:39:02 And Claymont's really part of that, too, you know, is that a lot of decisions
00:39:02 --> 00:39:09 in the past have been made and the people are the beneficiaries of decisions
00:39:09 --> 00:39:12 that they weren't even involved in. They weren't a part of it.
00:39:13 --> 00:39:16 So we have to change that. And I want to be a part of that change.
00:39:16 --> 00:39:22 And my organizing background allows me to be able to engage people in such a
00:39:22 --> 00:39:26 way that helps empower them so they feel like they can speak.
00:39:26 --> 00:39:28 They can have a conversation.
00:39:28 --> 00:39:34 They're, you know, involved and in tuned enough to understand how to have the conversation.
00:39:34 --> 00:39:37 And then they can then And make the decision themselves.
00:39:37 --> 00:39:43 Because if that doesn't happen, then companies, you know, corporations,
00:39:44 --> 00:39:49 you know, the other businesses and whoever out there is making the decision.
00:39:50 --> 00:39:56 I got one last question. Your challenger, is it more than one or is it a couple
00:39:56 --> 00:40:00 challenging for the seat as well? Is there anything you can tell us about that?
00:40:00 --> 00:40:06 Right now, my challenger is currently holding the Senate District 5 seat.
00:40:07 --> 00:40:11 So when that special election happened earlier in this year,
00:40:12 --> 00:40:13 OK, let me back up a little bit.
00:40:13 --> 00:40:18 After the nomination that I fell short of that three votes, the person that
00:40:18 --> 00:40:22 won was Ray Sigfried. He went on to run in the special election,
00:40:22 --> 00:40:24 which happened at the beginning of this year.
00:40:24 --> 00:40:30 He ran against the Republican and he won. So he is the one that is actually in.
00:40:30 --> 00:40:32 He's the incumbent and he would
00:40:32 --> 00:40:36 be the person that I would be running against in the primary in 2026.
00:40:37 --> 00:40:43 So but the primary is in 2026. And that's the important part is that that is
00:40:43 --> 00:40:51 an election where if I win the primary, I then move on. to run in the general.
00:40:51 --> 00:40:56 So that's where we want people to come out and vote. We want them to come out and vote in the primary.
00:40:57 --> 00:41:04 And Shay, I do have a quick question. How many projected votes are there for your district?
00:41:06 --> 00:41:16 If you know. Are you asking like how many people are there in I believe it's about 50.
00:41:16 --> 00:41:21 I could be wrong, but I believe it's about 50 people in a district. Okay.
00:41:22 --> 00:41:25 And about how many of them do you think are Democrats?
00:41:27 --> 00:41:32 Maybe like the boss? I bet I don't know. Oh, okay. All right. I have it.
00:41:32 --> 00:41:36 That's you just listening to Ms.
00:41:36 --> 00:41:39 Shea Frisbee, who is running for that seat.
00:41:39 --> 00:41:45 And for you people that live in her district, you need to go ahead and do what
00:41:45 --> 00:41:49 you need to do because it's not like she has her head on straight.
00:41:49 --> 00:41:51 She knows what's needed in that area.
00:41:53 --> 00:41:58 And you guys probably know that if there is a time for change,
00:41:58 --> 00:42:00 then there's a time for change, you know?
00:42:01 --> 00:42:05 So, Shay, do me a favor. Let people know how they can contact you,
00:42:05 --> 00:42:10 your social media pages, you know how if they needed to find out more about
00:42:10 --> 00:42:19 you how they can reach out and touch right so my social media page is togetherwithshea.com.
00:42:20 --> 00:42:25 And you can go on to that website. You can learn about myself,
00:42:26 --> 00:42:31 meet me, my platform, events that I will be having.
00:42:31 --> 00:42:36 So those include, we have pop-up canvassing events if you are interested in.
00:42:36 --> 00:42:39 We always need volunteers. So people coming out to Doranock with me,
00:42:39 --> 00:42:41 I can tell you we do have fun.
00:42:41 --> 00:42:48 I try to have fun. So we have pop up canvassing because at any time we are out
00:42:48 --> 00:42:54 in the community and we're canvassing and there's information about that on the website as well.
00:42:54 --> 00:42:59 I have some service and shine opportunities as well.
00:42:59 --> 00:43:05 So that's when I'm out doing some sort of service and people who have my T-shirts,
00:43:05 --> 00:43:08 they come out and they just they wear them, they show up, they're supportive
00:43:08 --> 00:43:12 and they also participate a lot of times in the service, too.
00:43:12 --> 00:43:18 So I'm going to website. There's lots of information about how you can volunteer, how you can donate.
00:43:18 --> 00:43:25 Donation is a big thing. And I'm going to say it because I'm running against a millionaire.
00:43:26 --> 00:43:34 So, you know, I come from humble beginnings and I am fundraising to get this
00:43:34 --> 00:43:40 campaign to the place where it's going to need to be to be able to run a good race.
00:43:40 --> 00:43:43 So donations, always grateful for them.
00:43:44 --> 00:43:49 And, you know, otherwise, follow me on social media. I'm on Facebook, Instagram.

00:44:04 --> 00:44:09 And I also try to keep information relevant to what's happening in the communities around me.
00:44:10 --> 00:44:14 So it could be like events that are coming up, you know, food drives,
00:44:14 --> 00:44:17 anything like that. I just want to make sure that people know what's happening
00:44:17 --> 00:44:20 and they are tuned in. So...

00:44:33 --> 00:44:36 campaign page as far as the ways, the different ways it's on it?

00:45:24 --> 00:45:29 Go to her social media pages, read more about her, and follow her campaign because
00:45:29 --> 00:45:33 it sounds like she has big plans ahead. Okay?
00:45:34 --> 00:45:39 But we're going to keep Shay on with us and like we like to do and go into a
00:45:39 --> 00:45:44 few topics and kind of get Shay's opinion along with Leonard's opinion and myself
00:45:44 --> 00:45:48 and some of a few of these topics that we wanted to talk about today.
00:45:49 --> 00:45:56 So our first topic is, and I'm sure people have heard about this or at least
00:45:56 --> 00:45:57 seen something about this.
00:45:58 --> 00:46:04 It's about the Cracker Barrel changes to the logo and the removing of the man
00:46:04 --> 00:46:06 and the barrel from its sign.
00:46:06 --> 00:46:12 Now, it's so funny. Let me ask this before I go on a little bit about this story.
00:46:12 --> 00:46:16 Have you guys really paid attention
00:46:16 --> 00:46:20 to the sign that much to know there was a man with a barrel on it?
00:46:21 --> 00:46:26 But before all this, no. I mean, I looked at the logo, but I did not pay any
00:46:26 --> 00:46:27 attention to it like that.
00:46:28 --> 00:46:32 And apparently someone says there's a whip on there, too.
00:46:32 --> 00:46:38 Or the C in... One of the letters in the word resembles a whip.
00:46:39 --> 00:46:44 They were talking about the R as a long tail to it. Yeah, yeah.
00:46:45 --> 00:46:47 But you know how people are all about that.
00:46:48 --> 00:46:51 The R connects to the K. that's what it is
00:46:51 --> 00:46:54 it looks like a whip yeah so but anyway let's
00:46:54 --> 00:46:58 i just wanted to kind of give you a little backdrop to
00:46:58 --> 00:47:04 this big they're making it into a big thing but you know cracker barrel well
00:47:04 --> 00:47:07 i'm gonna let me read a little bit about it and then i'm gonna make the i'll
00:47:07 --> 00:47:12 make my comment about it okay it says whether you grace the doorway of cracker
00:47:12 --> 00:47:16 barrel or not you know about Cracker Barrel, the comfort food restaurant,
00:47:17 --> 00:47:25 where you can also buy any number of items that you not buy unless you were waiting for a seat.
00:47:25 --> 00:47:32 Cracker Barrel is a part of the American culture, especially if you're from the South.
00:47:32 --> 00:47:38 Though surprisingly, and I didn't know this, The only states that don't have
00:47:38 --> 00:47:44 a Cracker Barrel are Washington State, Vermont, Alaska,
00:47:44 --> 00:47:48 Hawaii, Oregon, and Wyoming.
00:47:49 --> 00:47:54 Now, that's a strange group of states there, but it's interesting that they
00:47:54 --> 00:47:58 are the only states that do not have Cracker Barrel in their state.
00:47:59 --> 00:48:04 Well, hold on. That's not true. Do we have one in Delaware? No.
00:48:05 --> 00:48:12 Is it one in Dover? I know there's one across the bridge in Jersey,
00:48:12 --> 00:48:14 one in like the Elkton area.
00:48:14 --> 00:48:16 There's one in Elkton. Is there one in Dover?
00:48:17 --> 00:48:19 I'm not sure. You know what? I'm not sure.
00:48:21 --> 00:48:24 I've never been to one in Dover. I don't remember seeing one down there,
00:48:24 --> 00:48:29 but I guess it must be one somewhere here because those are the only states.
00:48:29 --> 00:48:31 Maybe it's further south.
00:48:31 --> 00:48:35 Yeah. Let me try to Google it right now. Yeah. Yeah, it must be further south.
00:48:36 --> 00:48:41 Because, you know, I usually go to the one, I would go to the one in Jersey
00:48:41 --> 00:48:44 most of the time. So while you're looking that up, it says.
00:48:44 --> 00:48:47 Oh, I'm sorry. Rehoboth.
00:48:47 --> 00:48:50 Rehoboth. Yeah, it must be further south. Okay.
00:48:51 --> 00:48:54 Yeah, I figured it had to be down that way. Okay. Because I know it's not up this way.
00:48:55 --> 00:48:59 All right. It says, well, it seems like we might talk about Cracker Barrel more
00:48:59 --> 00:49:02 than actually pulling up to one.
00:49:02 --> 00:49:07 The restaurant, amid a downturn in visitors and revenue,
00:49:08 --> 00:49:15 is undergoing a $700 million transformation in hopes of bringing new and different
00:49:15 --> 00:49:20 types of consumers to its 660 locations,
00:49:20 --> 00:49:23 according to the restaurant outlet.
00:49:24 --> 00:49:30 Those changes include the iconic barrel logo,
00:49:30 --> 00:49:39 which has since 1977 included colors that indicated a down-home feel, plus an older white man.
00:49:41 --> 00:49:46 I don't know why that part had to be put in there. Sitting on a wicker chair,
00:49:46 --> 00:49:49 leaning on a barrel, onto a barrel.
00:49:50 --> 00:49:57 Do with that imagery what you may. That's what it says.
00:49:57 --> 00:50:02 Well, now, the man is gone. The new logo includes simply the Cracker Barrel
00:50:02 --> 00:50:08 wording overlaid onto that iconic mustard yellow background.
00:50:08 --> 00:50:13 The way we communicate the things on the menu, the way the stores look and feel,
00:50:14 --> 00:50:19 all of these things came up time and time again in our research as an opportunity
00:50:19 --> 00:50:22 for us to really repair relevancy.
00:50:22 --> 00:50:26 Some people are not happy despite the constant jokes about the restaurant being
00:50:26 --> 00:50:29 catered towards a certain demographic.
00:50:30 --> 00:50:35 A stop at a Cracker Barrel shows a cross-section of people eating the comfort
00:50:35 --> 00:50:40 food and hoping not to land in the hospital because of it.
00:50:41 --> 00:50:47 And that logo signifies something to all of us. I'm going to stop reading there.
00:50:48 --> 00:50:55 It's always been one of those restaurants that kind of sports conversation mainly
00:50:55 --> 00:51:00 because of the name of the restaurant you know i remember when they first came
00:51:00 --> 00:51:02 you know started popping up,
00:51:03 --> 00:51:07 a lot of the place a lot of the time people felt.
00:51:08 --> 00:51:15 That's not a place i want to eat if you're a person of color why because of the name okay
00:51:15 --> 00:51:18 that's what is the low it's funny with
00:51:18 --> 00:51:21 the logo now i remember you know i i noticed
00:51:21 --> 00:51:24 the man sitting there or whatever and that was another reason
00:51:24 --> 00:51:27 that it made the name even more pronounced because you got a
00:51:27 --> 00:51:30 white man sitting there with a barrel you know the
00:51:30 --> 00:51:33 only thing was missing was a gun a shotgun so uh
00:51:33 --> 00:51:36 you know so when you think about it you know
00:51:36 --> 00:51:39 it just made it hard for us to go into those
00:51:39 --> 00:51:42 places for a long time but then we started migrating into
00:51:42 --> 00:51:47 them and you know and people really like the food and whatever and it's always
00:51:47 --> 00:51:56 been a popular place but why change the logo all the sudden is it because of
00:51:56 --> 00:51:59 the racial overtones of the world we're living in today,
00:52:00 --> 00:52:04 what do you guys think about that we'll go with our guests first,
00:52:06 --> 00:52:12 well i mean i is it because of the overtones i mean,
00:52:13 --> 00:52:18 It could be. I mean, I guess I would want to, I would be interested in knowing,
00:52:18 --> 00:52:23 like, what was the conversation right in the back room? How did it come up?
00:52:25 --> 00:52:32 You know, like, what prompted the change here? You know, Cracker Barrel's been around for a while.
00:52:33 --> 00:52:35 Yeah, it has. 1977.
00:52:36 --> 00:52:41 So it's not new. I mean, it's been there for a long time. So why all of a sudden
00:52:41 --> 00:52:43 has this become an issue?
00:52:43 --> 00:52:47 Exactly yeah exactly.
00:52:51 --> 00:52:59 I get that out of me go ahead Leonard I mean I agree you know it's funny because
00:52:59 --> 00:53:03 companies change their logos well not all the time but you know it's not new
00:53:03 --> 00:53:05 for companies to change their logo,
00:53:06 --> 00:53:10 and I think I understand what the lady was trying to do she was just trying
00:53:10 --> 00:53:17 to modernize the logo take some of the racialness off of the cracker who was
00:53:17 --> 00:53:18 sitting next to the barrel with the wit.
00:53:19 --> 00:53:24 But I can't lie, I'm surprised that there was so much of an uproar about it.
00:53:24 --> 00:53:30 It's really surprising to me because I'm just trying to think if,
00:53:30 --> 00:53:38 let's say, Black people had a logo and it was something that could be...
00:53:40 --> 00:53:43 Dave, I'm trying not to get us kicked off the show. But, you know,
00:53:43 --> 00:53:50 if black people had a logo and it was something and we decided to update it,
00:53:50 --> 00:53:54 I don't think there'd be an uproar like, nah, you know, keep that in the name.
00:53:54 --> 00:53:58 I mean, or keep that imagery in the logo.
00:53:58 --> 00:54:04 So, I mean, really, I'm surprised that they were at an uproar when it changed.
00:54:04 --> 00:54:07 And I'm surprised that the company changed it back.
00:54:08 --> 00:54:12 Uh-huh. Exactly. I'm double surprised.
00:54:13 --> 00:54:16 Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. It's interesting.
00:54:17 --> 00:54:24 And, you know, in today's climate with, you know, people, familiarity is everything.
00:54:24 --> 00:54:31 You know, like take you for instance, you know, people know you in that district
00:54:31 --> 00:54:33 that you live in and represent.
00:54:33 --> 00:54:37 You hope to represent. that so that whole
00:54:37 --> 00:54:40 that whole thing people know your face they they're
00:54:40 --> 00:54:43 familiar with you and so forth and then one
00:54:43 --> 00:54:46 day and they know pretty much you know
00:54:46 --> 00:54:49 how you do things or whatever and then one day all of a sudden you change up
00:54:49 --> 00:54:53 everything and you switch up everything and you
00:54:53 --> 00:54:55 come walking through and everybody don't know who you are don't
00:54:55 --> 00:54:59 feel that same you know same feeling
00:54:59 --> 00:55:03 from you then you know everybody's going like what's going on here you know
00:55:03 --> 00:55:09 you know and that's basically the same thing here you know now you bring it
00:55:09 --> 00:55:15 now of course this could be a genius move by on cracker barrels yeah because
00:55:15 --> 00:55:18 both leonard and myself were marketing guys.
00:55:19 --> 00:55:26 And how you get somebody to to pay attention and and and to start listening
00:55:26 --> 00:55:33 and and and see you is to talk about things and to give them something to talk about.
00:55:33 --> 00:55:36 That's a good point. Yeah. That's a good point.
00:55:36 --> 00:55:40 And this is definitely clickbait. You know, we know about clickbait.
00:55:41 --> 00:55:44 This is definitely clickbait because people want to know as soon as you say
00:55:44 --> 00:55:48 change the sign and, you know, you talk about the Cracker Barrel,
00:55:48 --> 00:55:50 of course, everybody's going to click on it.
00:55:50 --> 00:55:52 Everybody wants to know what they're talking about. Then there you go.
00:55:53 --> 00:55:55 So that's a great marketing tool as well.
00:55:56 --> 00:56:01 So, but it's going to be interesting. We're going to see what happens with this,
00:56:01 --> 00:56:06 you know, because, you know, you figure we, I know Len and I talked about this
00:56:06 --> 00:56:08 not too long ago, what is it?
00:56:09 --> 00:56:12 Real Opsid just went through a big change, you know, and, you know,
00:56:12 --> 00:56:16 because they were losing customers and business and so forth.
00:56:16 --> 00:56:22 They brought in a black CEO who, you know, I don't know if you've seen the marketing
00:56:22 --> 00:56:26 campaign and the commercials or whatever. He's in the commercials and everything
00:56:26 --> 00:56:31 and talking about what they're doing new and bringing back some old favorites and so forth.
00:56:31 --> 00:56:35 And, you know, so this guy, you know, they, they, you know, they want,
00:56:35 --> 00:56:41 they have this guy marketing everything for them now, but they also know,
00:56:41 --> 00:56:45 hey, who eats a red lobster a lot?
00:56:46 --> 00:56:51 You know what I'm saying? So let's get this guy in the commercials.
00:56:51 --> 00:56:55 Let's let him know, you know, and he's a young guy.
00:56:55 --> 00:56:59 So, you know, he's a young, you know, successful black man, you know,
00:57:00 --> 00:57:03 and let's put him out front and let's get these people to come back and their
00:57:03 --> 00:57:05 business is on the way back.
00:57:06 --> 00:57:09 So, you know, so marketing is everything.
00:57:09 --> 00:57:14 So this is a marketing ploy. They might be on to something here.
00:57:14 --> 00:57:18 You know dave i just want to say one thing and
00:57:18 --> 00:57:20 this is you know something your parents probably used
00:57:20 --> 00:57:23 to say you know
00:57:23 --> 00:57:26 i'm now i'm trying to think of the the right wording to make the
00:57:26 --> 00:57:29 impact long story short if it's working don't
00:57:29 --> 00:57:34 change it you know i you know i think that's important too so it's kind of like
00:57:34 --> 00:57:38 what prompted the change because i'm sure no customer was like oh you need to
00:57:38 --> 00:57:41 change that logo you know they just kind of did on their own and i think in
00:57:41 --> 00:57:47 businesses when you make small changes or changes that you feel that may be small,
00:57:47 --> 00:57:51 to certain customers, they may be big changes.
00:57:51 --> 00:57:55 So I think this was awesome. To be honest, I think this was a lesson for a lot
00:57:55 --> 00:57:59 of businesses because I'm sure there were a couple of businesses watching this
00:57:59 --> 00:58:02 and they were probably considering changing their logo.
00:58:02 --> 00:58:05 And when they saw this, they're probably going
00:58:05 --> 00:58:08 to want to do a case study and maybe have some people put some
00:58:08 --> 00:58:12 input on to make sure that they don't make the same mistake almost
00:58:12 --> 00:58:15 like you know even with target you know
00:58:15 --> 00:58:18 how they kind of thought they were going to fight dei and everything
00:58:18 --> 00:58:21 was like died down and black people were going to go back up
00:58:21 --> 00:58:26 you know i bet after that there were some companies cautious about canceling
00:58:26 --> 00:58:30 that dei program because they didn't want to you know they didn't want to have
00:58:30 --> 00:58:36 to switch ceos and you know the backlash as well that's that step down right
00:58:36 --> 00:58:40 yeah well well he actually he actually step to the side.
00:58:41 --> 00:58:46 Yeah, well, I mean, it was definitely expected,
00:58:46 --> 00:58:52 you know, so I guess we'll see how this goes and see what happens,
00:58:52 --> 00:58:57 you know, and see if this is going to be because, I mean, you look at the,
00:58:58 --> 00:59:04 you look at the Cracker Barrel sign and the ones that they proposed and, you know, and I was like,
00:59:05 --> 00:59:07 it ain't about the sign.
00:59:08 --> 00:59:14 You know there's some other things going on yeah yeah well what it's almost
00:59:14 --> 00:59:18 like when we talk about getting rid of the confederate flag and there's a a
00:59:18 --> 00:59:23 big stink about it yeah yeah that's true but we know what that's all but anyway
00:59:23 --> 00:59:26 moving on to our next story.
00:59:27 --> 00:59:30 I wanted to make sure we kind of talked about this.
00:59:31 --> 00:59:39 Black man wrongfully jailed after NYPD facial recognition error.
00:59:39 --> 00:59:43 Now, you and I, Leonard, have talked about this facial recognition in the past before.
00:59:44 --> 00:59:48 And, you know, how it's becoming a really big thing.
00:59:48 --> 00:59:51 But is it doing more harm than good?
00:59:51 --> 00:59:57 And that's the key. It says, a black man was wrongfully arrested in jail for
00:59:57 --> 01:00:02 two days after he was mistakenly identified as a suspect through NYPD facial
01:00:02 --> 01:00:04 recognition technology.
01:00:05 --> 01:00:11 Travis Williams was arrested in April, two months after a 911 call reported
01:00:11 --> 01:00:16 that a delivery driver had exposed himself in a Manhattan building.
01:00:17 --> 01:00:22 The victim described the suspect as roughly 5'6 and 160 pounds.
01:00:23 --> 01:00:31 Facial recognition technology flagged Williams, who was 6'2 and weighs 230 pounds as a match.
01:00:32 --> 01:00:35 I was so angry. I was so stressed out, Williams recalled.
01:00:35 --> 01:00:41 The man they were looking for, he was eight inches shorter than me and 70 pounds lighter.
01:00:42 --> 01:00:49 The victim identified Williams in the photo lineup, despite location data showing
01:00:49 --> 01:00:52 he was 12 miles away in Connecticut at the time.
01:00:52 --> 01:00:58 That's not me, Mack Williams told the police during interrogation.
01:00:59 --> 01:01:01 I swear to God that's not me.
01:01:01 --> 01:01:06 Of course, you're going to say that wasn't you, a detective replied.
01:01:07 --> 01:01:11 Police charged Williams the next day without verifying his alibi with his employer.
01:01:11 --> 01:01:20 NYPD spokesman, Brad Weeks, said the arrest was based on the victim's positive ID, WIMS,
01:01:22 --> 01:01:28 Amazon employment and questioning, and not solely using facial technology.
01:01:29 --> 01:01:35 However, Weeks confirmed that police never contacted Amazon to verify the identity
01:01:35 --> 01:01:37 of the real delivery driver.
01:01:38 --> 01:01:43 Charges against Williams was dismissed in July. I was in the process of becoming
01:01:43 --> 01:01:46 a correctional officer at Rikers Island, Williams said.
01:01:47 --> 01:01:50 They kind of froze the hiring process.
01:01:51 --> 01:01:56 Diane Ackerman of the Legal Aid Society issued a warning about police relying
01:01:56 --> 01:01:58 on facial recognition technology.
01:01:59 --> 01:02:03 And this is what they said. Everyone, including the NYPD, knows that facial
01:02:03 --> 01:02:13 recognition technology is unreliable. Yet the NYPD disregarded this even in its own protocols.
01:02:14 --> 01:02:21 It's clear they cannot be trusted with this technology, and elected officials
01:02:21 --> 01:02:24 must act now to ban this use by law enforcement.
01:02:25 --> 01:02:30 Okay. In the blink of an eye, your whole life could change, Williams added.
01:02:30 --> 01:02:36 I hope people don't have to sit in jail or prison for things they didn't do
01:02:36 --> 01:02:40 just because technology said so.
01:02:41 --> 01:02:45 So here we have it. Technology going bad.
01:02:46 --> 01:02:51 Leonard and I always talk about technology just about on every show.
01:02:51 --> 01:02:54 AI or some type of technology.
01:02:55 --> 01:02:58 ChatGPT, those type of things. but
01:02:58 --> 01:03:02 here we have what is supposed to be something that's
01:03:02 --> 01:03:04 supposed to be pretty reliable facial recognition we see it
01:03:04 --> 01:03:07 in every movie just about well i do because leonard doesn't
01:03:07 --> 01:03:10 watch tv or movies you know
01:03:10 --> 01:03:14 so but you
01:03:14 --> 01:03:17 know we see it a lot so and here
01:03:17 --> 01:03:19 it is you know we have police we have
01:03:19 --> 01:03:23 the police department depending on
01:03:23 --> 01:03:29 it and you know how this wasn't even close to being right in identifying this
01:03:29 --> 01:03:34 person okay not even close i could see if it came within a couple of inches
01:03:34 --> 01:03:39 and you know weight size or whatever but this wasn't even close they could really
01:03:39 --> 01:03:41 mess up this guy's whole life.
01:03:43 --> 01:03:43 Okay.
01:03:45 --> 01:03:48 And you see, they talked about the elected officials have to get this,
01:03:48 --> 01:03:53 you know, have to step in and get this right. OK, what's your thoughts on this show?
01:03:53 --> 01:03:58 The first thing I was thinking about is my belief in community policing.
01:03:58 --> 01:04:04 And it's why I strongly believe in community policing when it's implemented
01:04:04 --> 01:04:09 properly, because with community policing, you have that trust and accountability.
01:04:09 --> 01:04:12 You have the collaboration with the community. Do you have, you know,
01:04:13 --> 01:04:15 the preventing of harm before it happens?
01:04:15 --> 01:04:22 I think you mentioned something about, you know, the technology not being,
01:04:22 --> 01:04:25 you know, completely reliable.
01:04:26 --> 01:04:30 And where there is, you know, a, you know,
01:04:30 --> 01:04:37 where there is a place where technology may possibly fail, I do think there
01:04:37 --> 01:04:41 needs to be other things in place to help support the information.
01:04:42 --> 01:04:47 So like you mentioned, going to his employer to verify his identity, things like that.
01:04:47 --> 01:04:50 There are other ways that his identity could have been verified.
01:04:50 --> 01:04:57 But I do think that sometimes where the way that, you know, policing happens
01:04:57 --> 01:05:04 in different places, that's not a method that's in place.
01:05:04 --> 01:05:08 So it's missed. It's not utilized.
01:05:08 --> 01:05:14 But, you know, it could be, you know, just to prevent harm.
01:05:15 --> 01:05:19 You know, you know, that's that's just it, you know, training and awareness,
01:05:19 --> 01:05:23 you know. So, yeah, that's that's what came to mind.
01:05:24 --> 01:05:28 OK, Leonard, what's your thoughts? So so a couple of things,
01:05:28 --> 01:05:34 because I had also read this article and, you know, one, I thought it was weird because.
01:05:35 --> 01:05:38 And I can't remember if it was in an article or if it was in like a video,
01:05:38 --> 01:05:41 but they were talking about the police department.
01:05:41 --> 01:05:45 And I don't know if it was the same one or there was it was a sample one.
01:05:45 --> 01:05:51 But they were saying that they they use, you know, facial technology to help,
01:05:52 --> 01:05:59 but they don't use it as the, you know, the end all source for identifying somebody.
01:05:59 --> 01:06:03 But it seems like in his case, that thing was the end all, you know.
01:06:04 --> 01:06:09 And so, I mean, it just kind of makes me think about and there was another article
01:06:09 --> 01:06:15 I saw that said facial technology isn't as accurate for African-American people.
01:06:15 --> 01:06:19 Which I mean, which is weird, but that's what the article said in that article
01:06:19 --> 01:06:21 from like two or three years ago.
01:06:21 --> 01:06:26 So it's funny that, you know, this one kind of, you know, misidentified him.
01:06:26 --> 01:06:31 But I definitely think we're going to see a lot of this in the future where.
01:06:32 --> 01:06:35 Well, first of all, we've already seen a lot of stuff in the past anyway,
01:06:35 --> 01:06:40 when people are like, oh, you know, well, what did the suspect look like? He was black.
01:06:40 --> 01:06:44 And then like the first black person, the first black person they see,
01:06:44 --> 01:06:46 you know, they're pulling over. and saying, we know you did it.
01:06:47 --> 01:06:52 So, I mean, long story short, I think this won't be the first and this won't be the last.
01:06:53 --> 01:06:58 And, you know, Dave, think about all the time somebody could have said you did
01:06:58 --> 01:07:00 something and you didn't have no alibi.
01:07:00 --> 01:07:06 Nobody saw you. You know, you couldn't have anybody to prove where you were.
01:07:06 --> 01:07:08 And I feel like this may happen to a lot of people.
01:07:09 --> 01:07:11 Dave, somebody came to me and said, where were you last week,
01:07:12 --> 01:07:14 last week, Wednesday at eight o'clock?
01:07:14 --> 01:07:18 I'm not sure I could accurately answer that question. I don't know.
01:07:20 --> 01:07:23 I mean, you know, let's take,
01:07:23 --> 01:07:27 for instance, if you're a loner and you're not around people on a regular basis
01:07:27 --> 01:07:32 and you don't have a lot of friends and you work from home and you go out one
01:07:32 --> 01:07:37 particular moment and something happens around that time when you're out and you don't, you know,
01:07:38 --> 01:07:41 you don't have anybody who can verify where you are, you know,
01:07:42 --> 01:07:44 or where you were, wherever the case may be.
01:07:44 --> 01:07:48 At this particular time or that particular time. And that's important.
01:07:49 --> 01:07:54 You know, that's why, you know, this technology has to be used the right way
01:07:54 --> 01:07:59 and has to be perfected in a way that, you know,
01:07:59 --> 01:08:04 it only, not only does it help the police, and that's a great tool to have,
01:08:04 --> 01:08:11 because when it works, it's a great tool to have, but also that it doesn't.
01:08:12 --> 01:08:16 That it's working in a way that it's not it's able
01:08:16 --> 01:08:19 to recognize everyone and not just certain
01:08:19 --> 01:08:23 you know skin tones and their patterns
01:08:23 --> 01:08:26 and you know you know that type of thing you know because if
01:08:26 --> 01:08:30 you're a darker skinned person you know and you
01:08:30 --> 01:08:33 you know you use facial recognition
01:08:33 --> 01:08:36 to to scan a bunch of people that
01:08:36 --> 01:08:39 may be of darker skin you know it may not be
01:08:39 --> 01:08:43 able to differentiate the differences between the people you
01:08:43 --> 01:08:46 know unless they have certain features that
01:08:46 --> 01:08:50 are extremely different you know so but you
01:08:50 --> 01:08:55 know go ahead but I was going to say you know we all have a twin right yeah
01:08:55 --> 01:09:00 uh supposedly and I'm thinking like I was watching I was looking at something
01:09:00 --> 01:09:06 not too long ago and I'm it might have been Rihanna I believe who has a really good look-alike.
01:09:07 --> 01:09:10 I'm not sure if I'm right with it. I think it is Rihanna.
01:09:10 --> 01:09:16 And I believe that her look-alike is, man, maybe in Europe somewhere or I don't
01:09:16 --> 01:09:21 know where, but when I looked at the photos of the two of them side-by-side,
01:09:21 --> 01:09:23 I remember thinking, wow, wow,
01:09:24 --> 01:09:28 They look alike. Yeah, well, you ever see those two guys that were,
01:09:29 --> 01:09:31 that look like Martin and Will Smith?
01:09:32 --> 01:09:35 You ever see those two guys there from, I think they're Africa? Oh, yes.
01:09:35 --> 01:09:42 Yeah. They call them the Timu Will Smith, the Timu Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.
01:09:43 --> 01:09:48 And they were popping up everywhere when the last Bad Boy movie came out.
01:09:48 --> 01:09:52 And, you know, and I was like, because of course I thought they were AI,
01:09:52 --> 01:09:53 but they said, no, they're real people.
01:09:54 --> 01:10:00 And they were embracing their celebrity because they look like these two guys, you know, so.
01:10:01 --> 01:10:06 But I mean, yeah, we all have this doppelgangers out there for all of us, you know.
01:10:08 --> 01:10:14 It's real funny because everywhere I go, I always get, oh, you look familiar.
01:10:15 --> 01:10:18 You know, you look, you know, and I like even when I was in Virginia this weekend,
01:10:18 --> 01:10:21 this guy was like, oh, you know, you look familiar how we met.
01:10:21 --> 01:10:24 And I was like, no, I'm not even from here. but you know
01:10:24 --> 01:10:27 i think in my mind i always think okay these are people but lord
01:10:27 --> 01:10:30 i would hate to run into the wrong person who thinks i
01:10:30 --> 01:10:36 look familiar in these places too so i know with nobody none of us want to run
01:10:36 --> 01:10:43 into that person right right all right i think uh you got a story for us yeah
01:10:43 --> 01:10:49 so you know i i thought this next story was interesting and i'll say this lady stood on business.
01:10:49 --> 01:10:53 But there was a lady from Africa, Zambia, Africa.
01:10:54 --> 01:10:58 And so the title of the story is Black Woman Gets Bullied for Posting Selfies,
01:10:59 --> 01:11:01 But She Refuses to Delete Them.
01:11:01 --> 01:11:08 So there's a lady in Zambia, her name is Naomi, and she went viral in the month
01:11:08 --> 01:11:11 of June after posting a selfie.
01:11:11 --> 01:11:16 Now, she posts selfies all the time, but this particular one went viral.
01:11:16 --> 01:11:23 And on Instagram, it had more than 530 comments.
01:11:23 --> 01:11:29 Most of them mocked her look. So Shay, I think you said you saw the picture
01:11:29 --> 01:11:31 of her or you just heard the story.
01:11:32 --> 01:11:35 Both. Okay. Have you seen the picture? Yeah.
01:11:37 --> 01:11:44 Okay. So, I mean, she's definitely African. And the feature they're probably mocking is her nose.
01:11:45 --> 01:11:55 And so via these 530 comments, a lot of them were talking about she should get facial surgery.
01:11:56 --> 01:11:59 She's ugly. She didn't deserve to be on the Internet.
01:12:00 --> 01:12:05 You know, all these type of things. And so she said at first she was frustrated
01:12:05 --> 01:12:08 and she deleted the picture.
01:12:08 --> 01:12:11 She turned to her sister to kind of, you know, girl talk.
01:12:12 --> 01:12:14 And then she kind of moved on.
01:12:15 --> 01:12:21 And she is a very religious person, you know, reads the Bible and she was reading the Bible.
01:12:23 --> 01:12:30 And one of the, I think she said she found strength in the story of Joseph and Genesis.
01:12:31 --> 01:12:34 Dave's probably very familiar with that because of course he's a deacon and he sings at church.
01:12:34 --> 01:12:40 But but anyway
01:12:40 --> 01:12:45 long story short she found resilience and she decided that she was going to
01:12:45 --> 01:12:51 keep on posting you know regardless of what they said and what her quote was
01:12:51 --> 01:12:57 i love myself and i can be myself like it or not this is what i'm going to do
01:12:57 --> 01:12:59 so you know long story short i
01:12:59 --> 01:13:03 It was just a great story because, you know, I think the Internet has,
01:13:04 --> 01:13:08 you know, there's a lot of people on the Internet who will bully people that
01:13:08 --> 01:13:11 they wouldn't bully, you know, face to face.
01:13:11 --> 01:13:17 And her not letting this break her, you know, I think it's truly just a testament
01:13:17 --> 01:13:22 to her resilience and her self-awareness and her confidence.
01:13:22 --> 01:13:29 But it's unfortunate that it garnered five hundred and thirty thousand comments
01:13:29 --> 01:13:33 where a majority of them were mean, hateful and ignorant.
01:13:34 --> 01:13:38 So and I guess so, Shay, when you read this story or you saw this story,
01:13:38 --> 01:13:39 like what were your thoughts?
01:13:40 --> 01:13:44 You know, my heart went out to her, but I have to give her kudos because,
01:13:45 --> 01:13:51 you know, I just think that, you know, people is we're all in this earth. Right.
01:13:51 --> 01:13:55 But you're never going to believe people, whether it's your looks,
01:13:55 --> 01:13:57 it's your choices, whatever.
01:13:58 --> 01:14:00 And you just have to, you know, you mentioned stand on business.
01:14:01 --> 01:14:03 You have to just decide to love yourself.
01:14:03 --> 01:14:06 And I believe that's something she said was loving herself.
01:14:07 --> 01:14:12 And, you know, that's really what matters. Because if you don't love you,
01:14:13 --> 01:14:21 then you open yourself up to the opinions of others. And that's damaging in so many ways.
01:14:21 --> 01:14:27 So no I have to give her credit you know kudos to her she stood on it and I
01:14:27 --> 01:14:33 think she's beautiful and you know that's all that matters she thinks that she's beautiful,
01:14:34 --> 01:14:37 and I mean to be honest I can't lie I have.
01:14:39 --> 01:14:43 Seen people of other ethnicities.
01:14:43 --> 01:14:47 And it was just the other day, and I'm not talking about any Black people here.
01:14:47 --> 01:14:52 I've seen some other ethnicities where I saw someone with some very large ears.
01:14:53 --> 01:14:56 And I mean, I think it's just one of the things where everybody's different.
01:14:56 --> 01:15:01 There's people with small noses who hate it, and there'd be people with big noses and hate it.
01:15:02 --> 01:15:08 But one of my philosophies, especially on the internet and online,
01:15:08 --> 01:15:11 if you don't have something nice to say, don't say nothing.
01:15:12 --> 01:15:17 For me, it's just kind of like, okay, why are you pressed to put a negative comment out there?
01:15:18 --> 01:15:25 And Dave and I talked about it before, is social media helping society or is it destroying society?
01:15:26 --> 01:15:29 And depending on who you ask and what day it could be either or.
01:15:29 --> 01:15:35 But Dave, I know you may not have seen the image of Naomi yet,
01:15:35 --> 01:15:41 but what are your thoughts in general about 530 comments? It's crazy.
01:15:42 --> 01:15:49 That is crazy. And actually, I did look her up while we were sitting here.
01:15:49 --> 01:15:53 And that is kind of crazy that that happened.
01:15:53 --> 01:15:57 But I'm also noticing, while you guys were talking, I was noticing,
01:15:57 --> 01:15:59 I read some of the comments,
01:15:59 --> 01:16:04 and there were negative comments, but I also noticed that there were a lot of
01:16:04 --> 01:16:11 people defending her as well, and defending how they think she's beautiful and unique.
01:16:11 --> 01:16:15 And, you know, she is a very talented woman, apparently.
01:16:16 --> 01:16:22 And so, you know, thank God that people, we have real people,
01:16:22 --> 01:16:24 like we have some people that just let the comments.
01:16:24 --> 01:16:32 I mean, you know, when I go online, I'll read something and I go to the comments, I ain't gonna lie.
01:16:32 --> 01:16:37 And I tell it all the time. Have you seen the comments? That type of thing. But then,
01:16:38 --> 01:16:42 As many negative comments that I see, I'm always looking for the positive comments as well.
01:16:43 --> 01:16:47 And I want to see positive comments, you know, because some people are just
01:16:47 --> 01:16:50 out there just to be me, you know, on a regular basis.
01:16:51 --> 01:16:57 And so, but there, I just, you know, I look and I see there are positive comments about it.
01:16:57 --> 01:17:05 And now people were saying, you know, don't pay any attention to these knuckleheads
01:17:05 --> 01:17:07 out here and all that kind of stuff.
01:17:07 --> 01:17:11 You know people are going to be mean regardless their internet is a place for
01:17:11 --> 01:17:16 people to hide say what they have to say and if you ever notice people are being
01:17:16 --> 01:17:20 the meanest if you look at their tags or their their screen names or whatever
01:17:20 --> 01:17:23 it's always something that doesn't show their real name.
01:17:25 --> 01:17:29 And they're the meanest people you know because they realize they can say stuff
01:17:29 --> 01:17:35 yeah they can say stuff and be able to say it, and nobody knows who they are,
01:17:35 --> 01:17:38 and they don't have a picture on,
01:17:38 --> 01:17:41 or they'll have somebody else's picture, or they'll put something else up there.
01:17:42 --> 01:17:46 We're really in a very,
01:17:46 --> 01:17:54 very strange place and time right now where to be mean, to be ugly,
01:17:54 --> 01:17:57 to be insensitive is a big thing.
01:17:57 --> 01:18:00 And you know no matter
01:18:00 --> 01:18:06 how many how good people tried to be and the things that they tried to do you
01:18:06 --> 01:18:10 know it's always somebody's going to find something negative in it and you know
01:18:10 --> 01:18:14 football season is a great start the eagles the world champion eagles are you
01:18:14 --> 01:18:18 eagle fan shay i am I'm Philly.
01:18:19 --> 01:18:23 Okay. Hey, look. North Philly. North Philly in that day. Look,
01:18:23 --> 01:18:25 I know there's Philly people. I get it.
01:18:25 --> 01:18:28 Yeah, I'm definitely Philly. Yeah, no. I'm definitely Philly.
01:18:29 --> 01:18:34 Okay. All right. All right. So we're Eagle fans here.
01:18:35 --> 01:18:38 But, you know, Eagles win the Super Bowl last year.
01:18:39 --> 01:18:40 Jalen Hurts wins the MVP.
01:18:41 --> 01:18:46 And already this season, most of the talk has been about all the negatives.
01:18:46 --> 01:18:50 You know, well, Jalen has to do better. Jalen has to do this and whatever.
01:18:50 --> 01:18:52 They just won the Super Bowl, what, six months ago.
01:18:54 --> 01:18:57 And, you know, well, we need Jalen to do this. We need Jalen to do that.
01:18:57 --> 01:18:58 Jalen has proven he's a winner.
01:18:59 --> 01:19:02 The Eagles have been winning for a long time now.
01:19:03 --> 01:19:06 I came up during the time they wasn't winning no games, hardly,
01:19:07 --> 01:19:09 you know, and then they started winning some games.
01:19:11 --> 01:19:16 We've experienced three Super Bowls in three years. I mean, in the last seven years, I'm sorry.
01:19:16 --> 01:19:19 Three Super Bowls, two Super Bowls in the last three years.
01:19:20 --> 01:19:23 After not going for a long time. but yet
01:19:23 --> 01:19:27 the chatter is not about what
01:19:27 --> 01:19:30 we've done to be special it's what
01:19:30 --> 01:19:33 we haven't done and who hasn't done it so
01:19:33 --> 01:19:39 it's always going to be negativity all around us regardless of who we are you
01:19:39 --> 01:19:44 could be the most beautiful person on earth and i guarantee you within the first
01:19:44 --> 01:19:48 10 to 20 comments somebody's going to say something negative about that person
01:19:48 --> 01:19:52 i guarantee you okay Okay, so,
01:19:52 --> 01:19:57 you know, it's a shame that that happened, but it's also brought awareness to her.
01:19:57 --> 01:20:00 And I've seen, you know, like I said, with the comments that I saw,
01:20:01 --> 01:20:02 people were drawn to her.
01:20:02 --> 01:20:07 And I'm sure she got a lot more followers now, you know, because of it,
01:20:08 --> 01:20:13 you know, so that, you know, and and that's what that's what matters.
01:20:13 --> 01:20:16 So she was brave enough to put herself out there like that.
01:20:18 --> 01:20:22 And, you know, because there is something called natural beauty.
01:20:23 --> 01:20:27 And natural beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
01:20:28 --> 01:20:32 It's not, you know, Leonard and I talked about this not too long ago.
01:20:32 --> 01:20:39 I was talking about, I'll never forget when Lupita Luongo first came out.
01:20:39 --> 01:20:40 Remember we talked about this, Leonard?
01:20:41 --> 01:20:46 And they were talking about she was the most beautiful model in the world at the time.
01:20:47 --> 01:20:52 And i remember looking at her and i was like huh that's what i said to myself
01:20:52 --> 01:20:59 you know i ain't gonna lie i did i said huh man really you know poor lapita
01:20:59 --> 01:21:02 no it was i wasn't i wasn't being negative,
01:21:02 --> 01:21:07 but i was just saying you know you know when you make a statement like that
01:21:07 --> 01:21:12 you know you're looking to see why they said the statement so i'm looking and
01:21:12 --> 01:21:16 you know and they talked about her high cheek cheekbones and her eyes and so forth.
01:21:16 --> 01:21:21 And remember, I told you, it wasn't until later on that I saw her in a movie
01:21:21 --> 01:21:25 and I said, oh, I see it. I get it.
01:21:25 --> 01:21:32 You know, because she is a very striking looking person and she definitely has beauty.
01:21:32 --> 01:21:37 And I understand why they said that because her cheekbones are exquisite to her.
01:21:37 --> 01:21:43 You know, her eyes are and she just has that, you know, she has that complete.
01:21:43 --> 01:21:48 Natural beauty you know but i didn't see it when i first saw it because that's
01:21:48 --> 01:21:54 not what we were used to seeing as what they call the most beautiful model in
01:21:54 --> 01:21:56 the world you know what i'm saying.
01:21:57 --> 01:22:02 Okay did i explain that correctly yeah you you uh you probably over explained
01:22:02 --> 01:22:08 it yeah okay all right okay shay you with me on that i'm with you on that i
01:22:08 --> 01:22:13 am with you on it yeah okay i just wonder i'm I was thinking about a quote and
01:22:13 --> 01:22:16 I was trying to find it. It's a quote from Lucille Ball.
01:22:16 --> 01:22:21 It says, love yourself first and everything else will fall into line. Something like that.
01:22:21 --> 01:22:25 You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.
01:22:25 --> 01:22:32 And I think that in itself is where, you know, people have to realize that,
01:22:32 --> 01:22:36 you know, because we do have social media and social media is full of negative
01:22:36 --> 01:22:37 things and positive things.
01:22:37 --> 01:22:42 But a lot of negative things, like Lynn mentioned, is you just got to love yourself.
01:22:42 --> 01:22:45 If you love yourself, you've already you've already won.
01:22:47 --> 01:22:51 They didn't hit this with the Linda Carter Wonder Woman. Yeah.
01:22:52 --> 01:22:55 The Lucille Ball. The Double Dad.
01:22:57 --> 01:23:03 I know I'm older than her and I didn't bring those references up. Well, hold on, Dave.
01:23:04 --> 01:23:05 But you have.
01:23:07 --> 01:23:12 But you have. Okay. Anyway. Every time we talk about a movie,
01:23:12 --> 01:23:15 Dave talks about this one movie, a black and white movie.
01:23:17 --> 01:23:20 And he's like you've never seen this he's like you've never seen this I'm like
01:23:20 --> 01:23:25 no I've never even heard of it you've seen Imitation of Life right I've heard
01:23:25 --> 01:23:28 of it I don't remember that movie see see,
01:23:30 --> 01:23:33 nobody knows that movie Imitation of Life,
01:23:35 --> 01:23:43 what year did that come out what year did it come out what year see they don't
01:23:43 --> 01:23:46 want to talk about when Sheer came out.
01:23:47 --> 01:23:53 You're wrong for that. It came out... I'm not even going to tell you when it came out.
01:23:53 --> 01:24:01 Oh, I'm going to do it. Everybody knows this movie. You said you heard it. 1959.
01:24:02 --> 01:24:04 Sheer came out in 1959.
01:24:04 --> 01:24:09 And Dave is here grilling me about whether I've seen it or not.
01:24:11 --> 01:24:17 1959. I can't believe you've never seen this movie I can't believe that you
01:24:17 --> 01:24:19 just made a Lucille Ball reference,
01:24:20 --> 01:24:26 oh my god I have never seen that movie oh my god your black heart needs to be
01:24:26 --> 01:24:29 taken away from you I'm telling you 1959.
01:24:34 --> 01:24:39 It doesn't matter everybody that knows about Invitational Life they know about
01:24:39 --> 01:24:44 Invitational Life Shay you need to watch that movie look it up Imitation of Life,
01:24:46 --> 01:24:50 okay I've been trying to get Leonard to watch it for years he won't do it but
01:24:50 --> 01:24:56 anyway oh my god I'm not going to read subtitles through the whole thing it
01:24:56 --> 01:24:59 doesn't even have sound you don't have to read subtitles,
01:24:59 --> 01:25:01 it doesn't have sound what I got to do,
01:25:02 --> 01:25:04 are you sure it has sound anyway,
01:25:06 --> 01:25:08 I'm not even so done with this Well,
01:25:09 --> 01:25:12 hold on, Dave, Dave, this is a better question. Where do we see it at?
01:25:15 --> 01:25:20 Just pull it up. Wait, on what? On H-Roy? I'm sure you can...
01:25:22 --> 01:25:26 What are you doing on microfiche? Yeah.

01:25:49 --> 01:25:52 they're going to talk about y'all. I'm going to tell you all that now.
01:25:52 --> 01:25:55 I'm telling you. Okay? Hold on. Is this a white movie?
01:25:56 --> 01:26:01 It's got white people in it but it's the movie is basically about a black mother
01:26:01 --> 01:26:08 and her daughter hold on is it a romance melodrama a romance melodrama no,
01:26:09 --> 01:26:13 alright so okay Dave I may give you a little bit of credit this may be the wrong
01:26:13 --> 01:26:20 imitation there's an imitation of life that came out in 1959 some white people who's the stars.
01:26:23 --> 01:26:26 Lana Turner that's it
01:26:26 --> 01:26:29 that's it okay dude never mind we we're
01:26:29 --> 01:26:32 removing your black card but no the story
01:26:32 --> 01:26:35 is mainly about the the maid who's
01:26:35 --> 01:26:41 a black woman who works for lana turner and her daughter who's passing for white
01:26:41 --> 01:26:46 because of the biracial relationship gotcha okay yeah i see it's all about a
01:26:46 --> 01:26:52 black widow all right so for anyone anyone listening in our wide world of audience
01:26:52 --> 01:26:55 It's on Amazon Prime, YouTube,
01:26:55 --> 01:26:58 Google Play, Apple TV, and Paytango.
01:26:59 --> 01:27:06 It's everywhere. But you got to pay for it. It's $3.99. Oh, my God. It's $3.99. It's $3.99.

01:27:22 --> 01:27:25 Okay. All right. It's worth it. I'm telling you. It's a tearjerker.
01:27:25 --> 01:27:28 So if you want to watch it, Shay, I have some pitching near you.
01:27:28 --> 01:27:33 I got you. I got you. The furthest I go back is probably in the 1960s,
01:27:33 --> 01:27:35 To Kill a Mockingbird. What? I remember.
01:27:36 --> 01:27:39 It was a killer my convert was a good movie yeah but you
01:27:39 --> 01:27:42 just made a reference to lucille paul come on now you know
01:27:42 --> 01:27:45 how far she goes back i'm trying to help all right anyway anyway
01:27:45 --> 01:27:52 all right i'm done with that uh you always try to start anyway time for the
01:27:52 --> 01:27:56 fifth favorite of the show dave's corner okay i don't know why he loves the
01:27:56 --> 01:28:03 second session so so much but he does anyway But I got a question for you guys,
01:28:03 --> 01:28:04 and this is the question.
01:28:04 --> 01:28:10 You received a grant of a million dollars from the federal government.
01:28:10 --> 01:28:15 That's funny. To use to upgrade three things in your community.
01:28:16 --> 01:28:20 What three things would you spend the money on? Let's go with our guests first.
01:28:20 --> 01:28:24 Oh clean the
01:28:24 --> 01:28:28 contaminated soil and the toxic areas i definitely would want to do that to
01:28:28 --> 01:28:34 make the neighborhood safer and healthier for our resident oh goodness upgrading
01:28:34 --> 01:28:41 and expanding i think our local parks and recreation areas so that we have more green spaces and.
01:28:42 --> 01:28:47 I i think i would i would actually like to see some of that money go to the
01:28:47 --> 01:28:49 homeowners you know So just to, you know, like, you know,
01:28:50 --> 01:28:53 we talk about reassessments and things like that, taxes and things.
01:28:53 --> 01:28:56 I would like to see, I would like to see that money.
01:28:56 --> 01:29:02 I don't know how it would happen, but go actually to homeowners to improve their
01:29:02 --> 01:29:09 homes in some capacity and, you know, upgrades or whatever and safety enhancements. So, yeah.
01:29:10 --> 01:29:14 That's what I would do. Okay. All right. That's good. All right. Leonard?
01:29:15 --> 01:29:21 So I would probably do something for hungry children, you know,
01:29:21 --> 01:29:23 children who are going hungry on a daily basis.
01:29:24 --> 01:29:30 I would probably also do stuff for people who are looking for jobs and cannot
01:29:30 --> 01:29:35 find jobs because I think that's probably one of the most frustrating things,
01:29:35 --> 01:29:42 wanting to work, needing a job and like, you know, either skills or, you know, resources.
01:29:42 --> 01:29:50 And then I would probably do something to spur youth entrepreneurship,
01:29:50 --> 01:29:55 like some programs where people maybe can start owning a business,
01:29:55 --> 01:29:57 developing a business at a young age.
01:29:58 --> 01:30:02 What about you, David? If you received a grant of a million dollars from the
01:30:02 --> 01:30:06 federal government to use to upgrade three things in your community,
01:30:06 --> 01:30:08 what would you spend that money on?
01:30:09 --> 01:30:16 Well, one thing I would spend money on is getting a building that would be a
01:30:16 --> 01:30:23 resource center for those parents who want to homeschool their children or are
01:30:23 --> 01:30:27 homeschooling their children for whatever reasons that they may be doing it.
01:30:27 --> 01:30:33 That center would be available for those who don't always have the money,
01:30:33 --> 01:30:38 you know, They have all of the equipment in their homes that they need to have,
01:30:38 --> 01:30:41 such as computers and printers and everything.
01:30:41 --> 01:30:45 But they can go to this resource center, and the children can go there and use
01:30:45 --> 01:30:47 the resource center to get their work done.
01:30:47 --> 01:30:51 So that would be one thing.
01:30:51 --> 01:30:55 Another thing would be I would.
01:30:56 --> 01:31:06 Buy a large piece of land at a discounted rate in my area that would be able to house,
01:31:07 --> 01:31:16 you know, I would go out and buy some mobile homes or modular homes to put on this land.
01:31:16 --> 01:31:24 And maybe, you know, maybe anywhere from five to 10 of them for people who are
01:31:24 --> 01:31:30 low income to come and live and have their own little community, you know,
01:31:30 --> 01:31:35 and be able to have somewhere to stay within their means.
01:31:36 --> 01:31:38 So that would be number two.
01:31:39 --> 01:31:43 And then to piggyback on something Shea said, because I was thinking the same
01:31:43 --> 01:31:48 thing, I would give some money to the community to help pay their taxes,
01:31:48 --> 01:31:50 their property taxes and so forth.
01:31:50 --> 01:31:54 You know, property taxes are going up in almost every community right now.
01:31:54 --> 01:32:00 So you can, I would give money to the homeowner that would say,
01:32:00 --> 01:32:02 here's something towards your property taxes.
01:32:03 --> 01:32:08 So if you're a person that pays $1, I would give 50% of that to them.
01:32:08 --> 01:32:15 To help them out with paying the taxes in order to make things a little easier
01:32:15 --> 01:32:18 on them. So those would be the three things I would do.
01:32:19 --> 01:32:23 Okay. All right. Sounds good, David. Thank you for that. You're welcome.
01:32:26 --> 01:32:34 But anyway, well, folks, that's our show for the day. I want to give our guest, Ms.
01:32:34 --> 01:32:42 Shea Frisbee, another chance to give her social media pages and contact information
01:32:42 --> 01:32:47 in case people want to reach out to her and, of course, help her with her campaign,
01:32:47 --> 01:32:51 know what events she has going on and those type of things.
01:32:51 --> 01:32:53 So, Shea, why don't you give that information once again?
01:32:54 --> 01:33:01 All right. I can be found on Facebook or Instagram, Shea Frisbee for Delaware
01:33:01 --> 01:33:04 on Facebook or Friends of Shea Frisbee.
01:33:04 --> 01:33:09 Again, there's a journey page and I have a campaign page or you can find me
01:33:09 --> 01:33:17 on the online and my website is togetherwithshea.com and you will find my platform
01:33:17 --> 01:33:20 information about what I'm doing in the community,
01:33:20 --> 01:33:24 events, things like that and donation as well.
01:33:24 --> 01:33:27 And you can reach out to me that way.
01:33:27 --> 01:33:32 There's also an email, you can send an email to me, shayfrisbee at gmail.com.
01:33:32 --> 01:33:37 And, you know, we can talk and we can, you know, communicate. I am very responsive.
01:33:37 --> 01:33:41 So you reach out to me, I will definitely be available to speak.
01:33:43 --> 01:33:47 All right. Have it, folks. Jerry Frisbee, we want to thank you for taking the
01:33:47 --> 01:33:49 time to stop this. Thank you. Thank you.
01:33:50 --> 01:33:54 Thank you. Thank you for coming on and hanging with us. I know this has been
01:33:54 --> 01:33:57 in the making for a long time, and I'm glad we finally got it done.
01:33:58 --> 01:34:03 Get out and vote, people. Do what you need to do. This young lady has some plans
01:34:03 --> 01:34:06 that she wants to put in place and get cracking on.
01:34:06 --> 01:34:10 She's already done a lot in the community already. Let's see if we can get her
01:34:10 --> 01:34:12 where she needs to be. All right.
01:34:13 --> 01:34:15 Lynn, anything you want to add before we sign off?
01:34:16 --> 01:34:19 No. Shay, I just want to thank you for coming on. It was a pleasure meeting
01:34:19 --> 01:34:24 you. I did follow you on Instagram, so I look forward to being updated.
01:34:25 --> 01:34:28 Thank you, Lynn. Thank you, Dave. I appreciate you both. Okay.
01:34:28 --> 01:34:29 Well, thank you. Thank you for having me.
