And today we're gonna have a dynamic show. We have a few interviews people with whom I have a tremendous amount of respect for. We're gonna have a dynamic conversation as it relates to what's going on in them greets. You know, I love the interviews because we get the opportunity to talk to the I'm super excited today. The ladies are here, They're ready to get those stories. Of course, we got the Sizzle. We got some tea with tea. You know what I mean. I started counseling the building. This is legal tea right there. And then we have of course the Sizzle with Laurence Sizzle. And you know, we got some good interviews. So we had the jam packed show for you today. Ladies and gentlemen. So before you know, we getting into anything like the ex how would your day, how would you say? Was all right? Guess what? She was late today? He couldn't wait, he couldn't wait. He was I had a good reason to be in leated. Where was I doing? I had I got a new vacuum, so I was late. I was like trying to connect so that I can tell it's no yeah, and it's the you know, the robotic one, so I have to tell a lesa to tell it, you know. And then it had the map the entire house, so that took an hour, and then it tells me what corners not to go in. I had the room, but but it ain't do all of this. So I was really impressed. I was really impressed. So I'm trying to, you know, get like. If only it could rub your feet when it's done, then it's like. I got another, uh apparatus for that. I got something else for that one, but I can't hook that up to the Alexa. That's the problem with that. Well, other than that, today today was all right. I had a big. Yeah, no doubt, no doubt. Why I let you done? Yes, I had a really good day. I was doing my running around and I thought I wasn't gonna have time to pop up at a New King's protest. But I popped up. And tell you, these folks were they They were showing up and showing out. So this is the This is actually the third series of New King's protests. And this was my second one because I did go to the one in September and I ended up at the same location because I happened to be going there to go. To the Macy's. But it was, it was it was interesting, it was nice. You know, a lot of a lot of people, A lot of them were out and they were all excited, all fired up and their fight for democracy and they just you know, we're twelve. Yeah. Yeah. But apparently this one that I go to, they they're there every Saturday from ten to twelve. So this is not just like we're. Joining in with the No Kings, the major No Kings, which I believe it's like three thousand across the country this time around, but they do this every Saturday, every Saturday at the Spring Football in Springfield, PA from ten am, you know, from twelve to two. And tell us again, why are they protesting so they're protesting, you know, for you know, various reasons, you know, one for against no Kings. They want to sing a send a direct message that you know, the current city president is not a king here in this country. So that's the main idea of it. But the fight is against you know, immigration rights and just you know, the suppression of the American people, voices, dictatorship, dictatorship and all that, and they're like standing up and fighting against it. This time around, there were not as many because I did talk to a lot of the people that were there that are helping to organize this one, but there were not as many counter protesters as there were the first time around. So of course, I guess we were standing there and there were people that were riding past. Everybody's honking their horns and all that. Then occasionally you get somebody arise past, want to throw out their finger and you know, jeil something, you know, some expletive. But it was pretty cool. It was peaceful, it was calm, and you know, I'm you know, curious to see what happened at all the other ones. But yeah, shout out the no King, Shout out the no Kings. I appreciate you being down there. You know, I'm told you to be in the streets sets. Yeah, all right, what's up, legal tea? How? Let me how was that. Interesting? I went to go mix and mingle with a religious organization, and then in this particular sector, everyone is. High in academia. I'm highly educated. Everybody's got a title inside the in the world and inside the religion, and so you know, I understand that, and I respect that people work hard for what they got and things like that. But you know, when I come in the room, and I've been around for about two years, I just hot. I played the background. I observed before I speak to. Everybody looking like who the girl? Who the new girl? First of all, I knew you, so I'm like, mmm, And I don't like having a boast about yourself. For say, I got this, I got that. Most of my friends don't even know what I do for a living, like you would never know. I just gonna I don't brag and boost about myself. But they wanted us to go around the world and give introductions. So I was having right, I was having an internal conflict, like but they all hear dropping twenty years of history, sixty five years of this and I'm like, what do I say, Like, just up here Mountcy and keep observing and you know, hit him on the parks from the other time. But nope, thirty seconds or less then my little spill. He was asking for my number after that because I was like, I got taken that before workednight. No, right, but that event was nice and everybody was nice. I did feel welcomed and accommodated and I can't wait to interact with the ladies once more. It was really, how come I. Gotta get my game up? Sizzle's going to protest, You're going to you know, academia tape of and no, and he. Put me in jail. Y'all got plumbing. I went to jail. I just seen. I was like, well, sorry, next Saturday, I'm going to be publicly speaking at some type of. I don't know. I'm make sure I got me a story out. Yeah yeah, all right, yeah yeah, I'm not just gonna be playing with back here this next week. So well I want to get one yeah, well. Which it means that you were cleaning with something I need to do because my room is a mess because all week long I've been running. I got to do it. I think It's great though that you guys, you know, when you leave your time are doing things that are you know, impacting the community, and I think it's beautiful. I have those moments. I just didn't have that moment for the past couple of weeks. But yeah, all right, see you, you know we need to know what you did today. Nothing really. I mean I have to stop at a couple of headache crazy off day. But before I got here, I had to stop at an event. Show my face what event? On one of those vents. I had to pop up, show on my face? You know. It was all good and yeah, that was about all I had shout out to. I got a shout out this boutique too, because you know, while I was at the event, everybody was shot on out my card again. Nice, that is a nice one. A lot of people was asking about this, So shout out to what is it? Lizzie and Ricky shot right on. She got compliments to her, so I gotta give her a shout out. She got Yeah, sister, got a dynamic store sold. I'll give you a shout out yet. Okay, that's my phone's rightly. I love her. So Philly in the Buildings got shout out Philly. Philly is definitely in the building, and so I want to jump right into it because we have a jam packed show. I got a little story right here. I skipped over something your born days. Man, I totally forgot above that. Yeah, I'm. Got Can I get into my story then? So just tell me what you're feeling right now? All right? So, Philly bars to stay open late World Cup America's two fifty if under new bill, So I'm gonna talk a little bit about it, and your guys can tell me how y'all feel. So as America two fifty and World Cup events begin, Philadelphia will be able to extend the festivities into the night thanks to a new bill, Senate Bill twelve eighteen, sponsored by Senator Joe Pacozzi and Vincent Hughes, past the Pennsylvania State Senate and House of Representative and moved to Governor Josh Shapiro's that's for approval. Shapiro then signed the bill into law on Friday, March twenty seventh. I'm gona tell you a little bit of something. This was one of the quotes the bill supports are local businesses while helping ensure a safe and welcoming experience for visitors and residents are, Like Senator Barcosei said in a news release, it's a chance to drive up economic growth and showcase Philadelphia on a world stage. We're seeing a strong inter governmental approach under to make the most of the occasion. Now this is from the Visitor Bureau, It said the Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau as to make that from events alone, Philadelphia will welcome over one point five million visitors in twenty twenty six. Those visitors are expected to spend more than nine hundred and fifty million, generating an economic impact of one billion on the city. In the city, So let's talk a little bit about the time limit. I don't know that they have a time that they they're planned to stay open, and I want to say two more hours than they would normally close. But a lot of people are up in the air about this, and so I'd just like to know what you guys think about that. What you got to say. It's at four am, right, they say for us? Is that only Center City? Well, it didn't specifically start. Yeah, so I saw this happening. I say, I had stopped reading it before I got signed as a law, but I was like, my first reaction was, do does everybody know what city this is? I mean, yes, their crime rates are down, but four am that's a lot where And I feel like we're setting ourselves up to ask for trouble because how much more drunk do you need to get past the two am hour? When you're in celebratory mode, when there are visitors in town, people are going to naturally be or one. Y'all seen us in the Phillies games, in the Eagles parades, and we climb with light poles and we mess with hotel on ins and all kinds of stuff. People end up fighting and car accidents with pedestrians. That's our culture when we're excited. And now we're adding one point five million people to the loop and were going to extend the drinking time. Do we have enough law enforcement? And speaking of law enforcement, and you know, being in law enforcement for so many different years, I have seen the different people when they come into this, our beautiful city, our city of brotherly love. They think that they're going to leave without a new case, a new charge, but commit crimes and like you said, they're doing that at you know, Citizens Park and all this other stuff and. We don't need that here. So it's an open invitation. For something to happen, and our crime has gone down and we want to keep it that way. I think my outlook is that I get it with the whole small business at the hotels. But like you said, two. Am, I feel like cities that know your crime rate, like you said, crime rate went down. When your crime rate goes down, your grant school dawn. So a lot of times if you're if you're not getting the money for a crime, you know what I'm saying. So it's almost like they know that this is going to make more crime come even if it's during that time frame, they're able to get more grants, you know, national grants because of the crime, because there's no other reason on why you would allow something to go further. Knowing that people, unless you got more law enforcement that's going to be there, it's not going to stop the money from small businesses, the T shirts, the hotels. They're still going to be making money. So if there is crime, they probably. Got to meet a quota and then you know they're probably gonna get more money for it. And let me just add this one little, one little piece because we asked about the time. It says the legislation established a temporary Philadelphia two hundred and fifty permit that allows bars, restaurants, and night life things used to stay open an extra two hours during the World Cup and the two fiftieth celebration, extending closing time from two am to four am between June eleventh and July twentieth, twenty six. So way too long. That's over a month eleventh to July eleventh. It would have been a month. Yeah, that's that's a minute. We we don't need that. And I know that there's going to be some some bars and some restaurants that are not going to accommodate that they're going to close that regular time. And I heard that from the you know, from the merchants themselves. What I wonder what projection would be the financial upgrade, Like the financial upgrade that they would get from a two hour span, like how many people are really on the streets during that time that will allow them from that two to five or four to five whatever, that. They would get more money for people being out there. And then the other thing too, is there is a huge concern because a lot of I think what they started seeing. Is that there. I don't know if there's The registration is going down for stuff, and a lot of people are canceling registration for hotels and flights because of what's going on in the economy with the war and. All that stuff. And it's just because other cities have stuff going on. And I think that it rhythm is down there as well, so the world. And it's gonna be big. Shout out to Philly. Philly's gonna be huge this summer. I mean, look, you'd even talking about the Roots Roots picnic coming. Jehov Is gonna be in the building. Shout up to Jay. You know it's so fit, yo, this summer. Philly's gonna be hot. We need to write a right kind of energy for sure. For sure, all right, So shout out on the shout off a couple of people. So one of our favorite people that watch our show consistently is our Queen Monica, who's been on here giving us the good. You're talking about somebody who's truly been in the streets. I mean, she always keep us, you know, in the building, letting us know what's actually going on. And Vernick, she looks, she said, Okay, Lizzie and Ricky, so shout out to you know, she's in the building. She said. Hope hopefully, uh, Monica said, hopefully the TSA will get paid and lines will shorten at the air. When I hear about the those lines, yo, the lines that I've been hearing about, I mean literally I heard lines going out of the door, which is crazy, yeah, you know, and. So arriving at midnight and still missing their flight. That's insane. All right, So here we go, ladies and gentlemen, y'all already, let me get you around of the falls because we about to get into some tea. You're ready for me? Ready for me? Ready? Oh? Are you ready? Why don't you give it to this early? All right? As you all know, we talk weekly has been doing a lot of talking and debating and educating on the use of AI. That's right. But did y'all know that our local transportation systems and agencies have been using AI in Philly since twenty twenty three? That's right. And then, just to give you a little. Bit of a background, back in twenty twenty three, city Council passing wordiness that allows stuff to use AI cameras to target illegally parked vehicles blocking transit stops, US lanes, zones, and rams. The aim was to decrease traffic, conjunction, congestion and improved safety. And back then they only started on seven buses. It was a route twenty one, Route forty two shout out the West Philly Center City and Upper Derby. And then during that timeframe, in just seventy days, the AI cams found thirty six thousand instances. Wow, that's insane, exactly because y'all in Philly, y'all know we do what we want a school. Yes, So fast forward. By fall of twenty twenty four, the AI cameras have been installed one hundred and fifty two buses across the city. Now, I'm from West Philly, born and raised in those bus routes, the twenty one and forty two. Those is my stopping grounds. But I ain't have a clue to any of this was going on and thinkingness, I didn't. Find out by getting like a citation or something. Y'all let us go in the comments if y'all have had any experiences with this, good or bad, with the scept of cameras. Now fast forward to present day. Now, this year, Accepted and PPA have partnered. They made Philly the first city in the nation to implement AI cameras on trolleys. Right now. On March second this year, the partnership rolled out AI cams on just thirty trolleys. Its the lines T one through T five and the G one. I have no idea where those are, but if y'all know in the comments, please let us know. And their citations are going into ticket drivers who double park or black lanes and stopping zones. Each violation comes with a fine of fifty one dollars now right now, right the AI cameras have already been installed, but Philly is in like what I'm gonna call like a grace period right now, and what they're calling stept in PPA, they're calling it a warning period where if you're cited, you'll receive a warning until guess when from all April Fool's Day exactly. So for all y'all in considerate drivers that been blocking my more than trade into trolley on my way to work, I hope y'all get every single citation y'all deserve. I can't tell y'all how many times I had to text my supervisor. Sometimes I would do photos. Videos, Instagram lives about Yo, I'm gonna be laid again. And here's why, because people literally be parked on the trolley tracks. I've seen people park their cars on the tracks that go in they get their breakfast platter from the store, deliver a door dash where they waiting for somebody to come down from the top floor of a tall building, and then seen ubers that lift park on the tracks just so they can wait for somebody who did not appear within a five minute grace period, or even people dropping off their dogs and their cares, the kids at daycare. And they're doing this while it's infu parking spaces sometimes right where they parked at and they just won't park, but they'll instead block the troney like it ain't want a rush hour, so exactly so, some of the representatives that are in on this are saying that Tarley's and West Philly are constantly being thrown all schedule by folks who double park or parking properly. So y'all th I was tripping. They know, they know. So They've also said that a single illegally parked vehicle can disrupt service for thousands of writers and create unsafe board and conditions that force people pedestrians into moving traffic. And then we have some members of the community weighing in, and their responses were that, look, we're used to the delays, and honestly, the delays have become just as natural as breathing. I'm trying to tell y'all not making this up. This happens every day. Yes, one guy said, if a trolley has hunk this horn five times and you ain't came outside. Yet, then you need to get that fine. Yeah. Another one said that the finest of a fifty one dollars is kind of steep, but then he believes it'll actually act as a detriment. Another one said, look, I ain't paying fifty dollars for no good reason, so I ain't doing that no more. Now, to answer some questions that you may have flirting around your head, maybe you're concerned about accuracy, especially when their funds are involved. Maybe you have concerns about privacy, like being recorded passing by or just being in a nearby vicinity. Eventually, there will be two cameras to support this enforcement. The first camera is a AI camera that does the initial detecting first it's going to identify any illegal parked vehicles, and then it's going to record the license plate, the date, the. Time, and location of the incident. And then the second camera, which is not an AI camera but a standard camera, that's when it gets triggered to record the entire infraction. So that's when we go live. It's not always one. It only turns on when a violation is detected by the AI camera. People's facial features are automatically gonna be blurred out. They're also going to blur out any license places of any surrounding vehicles that it's picking up. So then these two combined camera footages get sent to a human PPA enforcement officer to verify. If the violation is confirmed by human, then the driver gets a ticket. PPA is using trained humans to manually re you all violations before issuing either violation during this little grace period or a citation as of able first. Now here's what we don't know. Officials have not said how long this program is gonna last or if it's gonna be permanent. But honestly, I don't. See this AI technology going anywhere, especially when it comes to traffic enforcement efforts. Why spark more money. That's crazy. So honestly, I thought about this, and I thought about traffic cor and getting citations and finds in I was kind of wondering, like, how do you get out of this? If you're in one of these situations and. It's gonna be exceptionally hard to see your car register at your home and dress with a couple with a second camera that's gonna pick you up walking to the car wearing your blue nikes and your black more face and argue y'all year it. I wouldn't mean and there looking right at you. So let me tell you a little story about with landed me in Core as a defendant when I was trying to defend myself when I actually did block the ten trolley. This was way before there were AI cameras, but it was still those basic standard cameras. I defended myself in a little what is it like an administrative hearing, and I won, but not in the traditional sense. I had valid justification for why I was dropped blocking the trolley. I did actually drop blocking the trolley. I did not that not I'm blocking the trolley. In fact, I invited them to call the police because I had already called him twice myself, and. While they was three blocks away, they ain't show up. So I was coming home from work. It was nice outside, sonny. I had nobody waiting on me, you know, where to go, nothing to do. I went in a rush. But also I ain't a particularly slow driver. But I'm literally at my block park at a red light, just waiting. Got my turning signal on so I can turn onto my blocking park. Somebody texting and driving besides the boom, we're in me right at a high speed, like he ain't ever know. The light was red behind the slightly or in front of us, so he were ended me. The car didn't move, thank god, but in shock, I got off the car like he man ran over to his car, yanked open his door and start screaming like why would you. Do something like that? And you still got your phoney here, you still text it. I was hot, adrenaline was popping. Yes, Then here we go a few minutes later, he's trying to get out of it, like, hey, let me pay you dah da da da da, And I'm like, and he's telling me he ain't got no insurance. This his girlfriend car. He was about to go to our house. I don't care about nod. And lo and behold the. Trolley come and I'm like, no, I'm calling the police. But guess what happened. This was right after the police decided they was never showing up for a car accidents unless there was an injury. So up we literally three blocks from the police station. I could have walked over there. I called him. They didn't come. He's still trying to escape. The train pull up behind us, and he trying to back up and pull out so he can get unstuck from us so. He can stirt. No, bro, you paying for this car. They ain't come, And he come to the traffic cop like, oh, you gotta move because now it's three and four or five trolley's that's how long we was out there. They're all backed up. It is rush hour. I admit that, I, you know, messed up a whole lot of people's afternoons. But there was one stop from the depost station. Y'all could have got them buses to come get them walk. We was right at the end of the line and they issued me a ticket for not moving. I'm like, you not observe this is an excellent scene. Yes, I've called the police twice. In fact, I'm gonna call him again while you're here. And since y'all worked together, why don't you tell your boys and boot coming around. I was going off. I wasn't trying to hear it, and so the police didn't come. And eventually that adrenaline, you know, it went away, and I literally started declining. People had to come over and help me get in a car and sit down. I was kind of in the daze. I didn't know what was going on. People was getting me water, like he actually injured me. So now they gotta call somebody or inbulance to take me to the hospital. I'm like, even though I'm in a haze, I'm like, I'm not paying three hundred dollars for the ambulance. Like call a friend, Call friend. So we get out of there. And I called him when I get to the hospital, and I said, listen, I'm gonna have to sue you, not because I'm looking for a payout or whatever. You don't have insurance and you may never pay me whatever. I'm not even vengeful like that, but now I'm about to have medical bills and I shouldn't be stuck with these on my own. So the girl for grabbed the phone. She laying me out on speakerphone out in the hospital. But I still got that ticket. Yes, I did what I did. I go, I take off of work. I go down near to the administrative hearing. I tell the lady my side of the story, and she looking at me the whole time. Like mm hmmm, mm hmmm, mm hmmm. And when I finished talking and she asked me no question, she said, case dismiss I said, let me tell you why the case got dismissed. The officer never put the ticket in the system. You ain't gonna put the ticket in the system. I would have been so mad. That's because you knew who he was from. You can't give me a ticket for this, right, it's an accident, word of the story. You never pay up. If you think you gotta justifiable reason, go down there and fight fight it out. You get out with the administration and see what happens. Because somebody just might make a mistake intentionally. You don't always low. Some people just paid the ticket because they're like, I'm gonna lose anyway, exactly. They can't take time off of work, which they'll be forced to pay, right exactly good thing. I had a good supervisor that the same supervisor that always let me be late for the train. Shout out to you, right, but my work was going to get done. So I'll get when I get yourself exactly all right. Next time I got an imagery, got. No I couldn't. Okay, no worries. This so also about Scepta. Right now they're handing out more helpful ways to get around town. So they're they're rolling out. In addition to this AI thing, a new pilot program, Receptor is erecting digital solar powered screens and busts and Charlie stops to display real time arrivals for passengers right on. The screens will be small and mountain to bus stop pulls all across the city, and for blind and low vision writers, each device is going to be equipped with texta speech buttons so they can also access the information. Stepha said they listen to writers and now they have delivered this. The first ten will be erected later this spring, but Septa hasn't said which areas they'll begin in. In fact, SEPTA has a link on their website where you can give suggestions over where you would like to see these devices. So not everybody run at once, y'all get them at your bus stops and Charlie stops. That's a good thing, thank you. Cepta. Now, in other travel related news, this is an alert citywide alert to Honda owners. The police Major Crimes Unit is investigating a car theft ring that is targeting Hondas throughout Philly. Last year, more than twenty six hundred cars were stolen. Yeah, that's crazy, and thirty percent of them were Honda's specifically of course in CRBS, but civics also made the list of the top ten most targeted vehicles. They are the Hondas in general are the number one target because their parts are universal. So in Roxboro, one couple had their twenties twenty Hondo courts stolen this February from Minny Young Avenue. But this couple had an air tag in their car. So let me tell you what happened. This story is interesting to me because these two clearly morphed into Batman and Robin and they avenged themselves right. The story had no mention of police, no mention of flyers being posted, no rewards being offered. These two they go find their car in West Philly on the eight hundred block of North forty fifth Street. But when they got there, their key five was not responsive. So basically, whoever stole their car had the car reprogrammed to master the thieve's new key, which removed the couple's key from the programming. So let me tell you what Batman or Robin did. Next. They decided they still didn't call the police, right, they caught a tow truck and got their car told and had there you go exactly the exactly. That's what's Philly any day. So they got their keys reprogram and then they added some insime stuff senses to their Honda, including a cup a club. They went to publicly share their story because they wanted to help other Honda owners because there's an awareness that this is happening repeatedly in neighborhoods. So if you're. Listening to tell a friend or somebody, you know what a Honda. I am definitely glad that nothing happened to Batman and Robin while they pursued their quest to tank back was rightfully belonged to them. I don't suggest this. Though, because you never know what you're going to find. So if you're air tag your car. Please always involve the police in your requests now. In addition to this, residents in South Philly are also importing in theories a series of cars tests and multiple neighborhoods, but these people involved the police, okay. One resident said his car has been stolen three times twice. The car was stolen from a parking lot at Front and Christian and the gate was locked gated, it had video surveillance and he says, I'm driving a ninety seven with three hundred eighty miles on it. That just goes to show you that they're targeting both old and new cars. Since then, the police have increased their visibility in the neighborhood because they've seen evidence of many cars being stolen. Some are being stolen from a free parking line beneath I ninety five and Penn's Port and you can see glass constantly shattered on the ground and cars were stolen, tires all four of them be gone. Other vehicles are using relay technology to which give the thieves access to your car without actually having your key, so they actually can get unlock your car from a distance and you never know and they can just peel off in it. On a personal note, my colleague. My colleague had her car stolen twice, once near her home, and as soon as she got it back and drove it to work, she got it stolen again Center City. What kind of cars you have? She got a super room. And it was we were in a privately owned high rise park instructure in Center City where we're working with police assistance. She did get her car back. Then my neighbor the car stolen while they were in a secured, gated apartment complex in South Philly where the car is park overnight, but with police assistants. That car was located at a chop shop in North Philly. And get this, this thief left his wallet in the front seat. They definitely booked him exactly. And now for this last segment, also transportation related, we're talking about futuristic transport of food. So if you live, work, shop, playing downtown Philly, you may have encountered robots traveling alongside of you. Uber Eats has launched robots in Center City only for now, as it's just a pilot program catering to a small number of restaurants to pick up your food and navigate through pedestrians and road traffic to deliver your food to you. They only deliver from ten am to ten pm as they operate on a lithium battery that only has twelve hours per charge. They navigate kind of similar to the GPS system in your car. You can track them just like you can track the drivers, and you'll be notified when it reaches your door, just like you're notified when there's an actual driver. The food travels in an insulating compartment that can only be opened by meeting your robot and then using your phone to scan it for it to open. And you don't have to tip the robots, so any tips that you add, they're not going to actually charge you if you haven't seen them. They're pretty compact, really low to the ground, so you kind of need to bend over or niel to open the box to get your food. I did get to see a friend who captured a video downtown outside of one of the courthouses, and it was sitting at a light trying across the street for a very long time, and it seemed like it did not know what it was going to do with that intersection. But I do hope it all goes well. And then y'all are not getting cold food. Also, I think it's pretty cool, but especially if you're navigating traffic, not being able to park downtown things like that. I get why they're doing it. But again, like we talked about earlier in the show, we have a very interesting culture in Philly, So I'm just hoping that people would just let things be and not see with them. And that's sh rat ladies and gentlemen, dynamic stories. But I do want to bring up this one comment because I thought it was in film Monica.

So without further ado, CLESSI lee you ready for me? I'm ready? All right? Why don't you give it to me early? All right? Well, some parents may want to hear this. I just spoke to the doctor about this, and I'll just go over it again. It's basically, a federal judge just blocked Philadelphia changes to the childhood vaccine. So again, instead of the seventeen required shots. It's now eleven. So the court rule that the federal health officials did not follow the proper process. This allsomes from leadership changes under the Health and Human Service. There were some recommendations like delayd the Hepatitis B shop for newborns and scaling back the COVID vaccines. This is what sparked a lot of backlash. So one chop vaccinating expert said the science is and has been stable, that vaccines have been protecting children for decades, but another leading physician didn't hold back, calling the changes a war on vaccines. Governor Jos Shapiro stepped in and. He said, we trust doctors to help us make healthcare decisions, not conspiracy theorists. So if you need guidance or low cost vaccines, you can always contact the CDC Vaccine for Children's Program at one one hundred CDC info. That's one one hundred two three two four six three six. All right, this might this next story might save you some money, or it's going to cost you if you're not paying attention. So right now, if you miss a toll, which you know of the walk, the Betsy, the Ben, the Toconi. So if you miss the toll, it can turn a small fee of whatever it is. I think it's like six dollars can turn into fifty dollars real fast. Yes, So basically all I can say after reading the story is get an easy pass. So some lawmakers are saying that getting a fifty dollars cost for the ticket it might be a bit too much. So here's what they're gonna do the new bill in New Jersey and New York. They're gonna let. You slide, but only if you have one or two violations from going through the toll booths. So there's not gonna be extra penalties, but only if you have one or two. But this is the other side, on the PA side, they're basically saying, like the new Jersey Turnpike that if you have two hundred and fifty dollars are more New Jersey Turnpike and Pennsylvania Turnpike state troopers are going to be running your license plate and if it's over two hundred and fifty, they're going to suspend your registration and get your car towed and then pounded on the spot. Spot. They are basically saying that people who are getting these invoices in the mail, you know, they're doing now like a cash list type of system. People aren't paying their their invoices. And it's so many reasons why. I think, like you can say that you didn't get it. It could have blew away, you know, not a good mail slot. Whatever. You could just. Didn't look at it. You know how you say the dog Gate my homework, something happened to it. But this is basically saying if you don't pay, you gonna pay in another way. So they skipping them process and everything. Or what boots are still happening. But that's not that's not operated by the toll. Yeah, that's that's the PPA with the ticketing. So now they're gonna hit you in both spots. So if you are Philadelphia and you are coming over to New Jersey or you're taking a PA turnpike, I'm telling you just basically look out for the mail or get an easy pass. The easy pass I think would. Be the best, and you pay less with an easy pass. And what they're trying to do is they're trying to make sure. I think it's just a digital footprint that they can follow people. That's it, because if they if you don't have it, you're gonna pay. I think it's like double the amount to go over the bridges versus you know what you would do if you had an easy pass. And some of them are different prices. So that's why I didn't mention that. All right, this. Next story, some Philadelphians might be excited about this. The Philadelphia Eagles just made a power move by signing light receiver Marquis Brown aka Hollywood. They signed a one year deal worth up to six point five million dollars. So. Brown comes off of two seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs. He's a He put up nearly seven hundred yards and five touchdowns and even making a Super Bowl run. So I actually watched the Eagle Super Bowl and some people are saying, is this because of the frustration we saw with AJ Brown and the coach? Do y'all think so with Nick Sarnie at Super Bowl fifty nine? Do you think that's why. They just signed Marquis Well? The Eagles leadership is signaling something, especially with questions going around AJ Brown. Well, going back to Marquis basically, he's a twenty eight. Year old and he said I am blessed and happy to be here, So he's happy to be there. I don't know AJ. Btter get it right, because that was a he when I saw them. On the sidelines at the Super Bowl. Yeah, I think that people were thinking that Aja was gone, especially after his performance at They're Fine at the Eagles final game, yeah, which it was disappointing. So I don't know, we'll say yeah, And I don't know what to say about that because I saw that and I was just like, this should be interesting because. As far as his stats, what like, uh, which one the new guy? He did seven hundred yards? I think yeah, he was near seven hundred yards and five touchdowns. When he was with the Kansas City Chiefs. So, I mean he's twenty eight, he's in his prime. I mean mean, we'll see, we'll see, you know, Philly hard on you. I mean if you mean, yeah, if you underperform and they're gonna let you know. So welcome, but just no, don't get too comfortable. Yeah yeah, all right, Well this next story people watch. Will you hire to care for your loved ones? A nurse in Bucks County is now facing child abuse charges after police say she was caught on video abusing a medically fragile child that she was supposed to be caring for. So Investigators say surveillance showed her smacking the child, slamming her and pulling. On the girl's tracheoto me, and even aggressively throwing. The child around inside the crib. The child's mother noticed bruising, and then she checked the cameras. According to the affidata, the nurse was working as a night nurse providing in home care for a disabled child. The abuse was discovered because the child's bedroom had constant to veillance cameras, which the mother reviewed after noticing bruising. The nurse is now being held in Bucks County correctional facility after failing to postpond. It's a high bail around two million, uh. And the officials are continuing the investigation. UH. If you suspect abuse, especially with vulnerable children disabled children, reported immediately to the Pennsylvania Child On at one hundred nine three to two zero three one three again one one hundred nine three two zero three one three, or you could go online at www. Dot Compass, dot state, dot PA, dot us backslash cwis all right. And this last story, now many people, especially Philadelphians, have heard of this story. It's this guy who was a coward who lives in Darby and he got into a crossing guard's face. I know y'all heard of this, right, Yeah. So a Darby crossing guard named Tamika Dixon was outside Walnut Street Elementary helping kids cross the street when police say twenty nine year old driver Edward Williams from West Philly got impatient. Witness says that he was honking his car, rubbing up his engine. Then he got out, chased the crossing guard, start yelling in her face, and then he punched her unconscious. So report State said she suffered a concussion and she has since quit. Williams fled the scene. And there was a five thousand dollars reward put up for him, and he was caught by US marshals and arrested in North Carolina at a family's home. He's now rested and facing multiple serious charges tied to the attack. And they didn't know each other, Nope, he was just I don't know if that was a bad day. I don't know if y'all ever seen having a bad day, But if he was having a bad day, then. All that and that woman was doing her job. He chased. The video shows him chasing her like she was like scurrying away from him. So it was like, I don't know that she was doing her job protecting children. Yeah, and that's crazy, that's wold.

In every contribution, no matter how small, makes an impact. All right, So I feel kind of feel like we talked about this before, but this. Is always like an ongoing conversation, this rocky statue. So they moved it this uh to. The top of the steps of the Art Museum. So that just made me think. You know, I posted something on my Facebook page a couple of weeks ago. Who is on your mount rushmore of Philly athlete goats and don't say Rocky Balboa. Joe Fraser from the door Joe Fraser. Uh, I guess you're talking about boxes. Athlete on stalely. Dot is definitely on my. Doctor j Yeah. Yeah, they don't have to have lived here. In athletes you said, yeah, like Alan Iverson. Yeah, that's all that's all of them, because. You it's five, it's four. Much more is four, right, I believe, so I can't remember. Remember I think it's four. There's so many greats. It's a lot of good ones. Yeah, it's kind of hard because I think, yeah, it really is a top ten because you can't limit it to this. Yeah, A definitely a doing steal because it's a couple more. You got to say. You gotta say Wilt Chamberlain definitely got to say that. That's gee. It's just so many, so many and then you're talking about errors, you know what I mean, like you got some honorable mentions, like you know, I know they kind of say, like Kobe Bryant, Yeah, I mean he he not necessarily right, and that's inside of Philly. We wouldn't really give it to him. By outside of Philly. They always doing somebody else. They do that with two is he lived outside of Philly? He was like in. He was either in Sheltenham Township or something like that. Who was it might be a baseball player, Hm. Sure, damn, that's crazy. After Reggie White. Reggie White. Okay, I don't think he'll be on my Mount Rushmore though, but top ten, top ten, Yeah, definitely definitely. Mike Schmid ye yes, dang, that's crazy. Moses Malone was he Philly? Was he Philly? Whats Moses Philly? I can't remember, No, most Malone. He just played in Philly. Barkley, Yeah, they said, yeah, Barkley, Yeah, Barkley. About I think honorable mention. So now now you got me thinking that wasn't it wasn't Reggie Jackson. Definitely Freezer, Definitely Freezer, Hopkins, it was. It was Reggie Jackson. Gotta put Reggie Jackson, Hopkins the executioner. Jackson was there trying to think who it was that they lived. They lived. Yeah, Reggie Jackson, because he's Reggie Jackson. But given they give him Philly. Yeah, that's kind yeah, uh yeah, shut up to Hopkins too, sure. Randall Cunning Yeah that when he played for. The Eagles, Willace, Yeah in my top ten. Exact shout out. She shout in front of the show too. He'll definitely be in my top ten. If you wouldn't, Philly, you are already in my top ten. I mean, I'm gonna let y all finish, but Philadelphia is the greatest of all time. I'm gonna let y'all finish. Man. Uh, I'm trying to think of if y'all watching, make sure y'all list y'all who will be on y'all Mount rush More in Philadelphia, y'all Mount rush More. Uh, and if it's people that you that we because it's somebody on. The Yeah, I feel like being left out. Yeah, yeah, definitely, you know. All right? Well, uh, the Los Angeles and all. And I been like that. Sorry, Los Angeles Counties Superior Superior Court, Jewelry. I haven't written side they feel anyway. They feil Meta in YouTube negligent and how they operate their social media platforms which has been causing substantial harm to a lot of people. But in this case, particularly the plaintiff who was identified in the court by initials KGM, And they're saying that Meta and YouTube fail to add adequately warn users of the dangers of the platforms such as Instagram and Google and YouTube. And Google is the owner of YouTube. So now plaintiff KGM, who is now twenty years old, she was awarded three million in compensatory damages. But when she was a minor, and she described how when all this happened, and she talked about her addiction to social media at I believe the age six and how she spent hours upon hours on the platform and how this caused significant emotional and physical abuse to herself and a new New Mexico Jewelry also found that Meta and YouTube violated the state's consumer protection laws and they were ordered to pay three hundred and seventy five million and civil penalties. So Mark Zuckerberg, he was among a lot of the tech executives who testified. Multiple cases were brought against Meta, YouTube and other companies, which I believe Snapchat was also in this. This included over. Sixteen hundred plaintiffs, three hundred and fifty families, and over two hundred fifty school districts. So the Council for the plaintiff KGM said the the Council and the co Council and the statement they said that this is a historic moment for thousands of children and their families. But the verdict itself is bigger than just this one case, and they're saying for years, social media companies have profited from targeting children who while concealing their addictive and dangerous design features. Today's verdict is a referendum from a jewelry to an entire industry that accountability has arrived and you know Meta in Google they disagree with the verdict, of course, and they plan to appeal. But you know, this made me think about the guidelines that they set for us creators. You know, we had to disclose when we're going to post something, and you think about all the prompts that it's given you. Is this going to be harmful to children? Is this going to do this? Does it depict this, does it have AI in it? Does it? Is it showing fake things? And meanwhile they. Are they don't have to do. You created the whole platform to deceive and you know, harm children, and that was your that was your initial agenda was to get these scenes addicted to the platform, and which is causing detrimental, long term and even permanent damage. And some some I saw a video of some like families that were not even able to make it inside the courtroom, but they were outside and they were holding up pictures and this was so like devastating, and it really just showed you the magnitude of the damage. They were holding up pictures of children that were not there because they committed suicide, and that was from the damage of these platforms. So it's just it just has me thinking like what. Is I mean, what was this going to houses going to change social media going forward? Like what does social media look like when you know people are getting on there? Like right? Yeah, So, counselor, I would love to hear your feedback on you or your thoughts on the legal perspective of like this case from what you heard. I know you didn't do too much research, but just based off of what you heard, what's your thoughts. My first thing I was, I was like I got to read into this. First of all, didn't know this was happening, and I thought this story was gonna be more about the on the lines of those shows that they have on there on YouTube where there were coaching kids to have like for suicidal practices and things like that. And so it's a concept of this case that I went back. You mean, like the what was presented at all that? Yeah? Okay, all right, okay, okay, So I wonder what kind of parameters after a case like this and the company's got to go back and do clean up, right, So do they now put parameters where you have to putting into your perfect and give your age? Well, they retimed like you can only do this for six hours a day. And then you know, once they do that blanket thing, obviously it affects all of us. But what else can they do. To rectify because I know they don't want to make these kind of payouts ever again, but they need to be strategizing about what they do from here and now and what's gonna work for the greater good. But then they also got a balance how they're going to generate their funds. But their creators, they will figure it out. Blubbile be will. Yeah, yes, yeah, because because I think what we're talking about now is trillion dollar companies. So for them to hey, take this three seventy five and get out of here, it's not really. Much happen to hurt, Yeah, exactly. And then it's just kind of like we got to figure out how do we make our money back and then do where do we go from here? But then at the same time is it's like it. Just has me thinking because before it was just like pretty much like, okay, the burden is on the parent to monitor the child, and like you, like you said, like put you you only be on here for two hours, you be on there for three hours or whatever. But then no, it really should be. The burden is on the companies to not make it addictive to you know, it's just crazy. And I think even even like I saw somebody else, you know, kind of like talking about their experience in life, and this is what I didn't think of. It's like, as a Gen Z person who grew. Up their whole life with social media and Facebook being around for how long and that is their life and that how that is how you know they grew up in the the self I guess their perspective or you know, of themselves and what they feel like reality should be versus us, Like. You know, we didn't have that much social media. I was just looking at a track yesterday about from the boomers all the way down to the gen Z's, and what stood out for gen Z was, this is the first generation to ever have been taught and have their lives led by a screen. And so I'm thinking the companies, like the companies who were sued, they recognize that this is their audience. And you know, they're building things now for who is going to be the future, you know, the children and people in the future, and so they I believe they purposely geared this to this these are going to be our new twenty year olds, our new thirty year olds. So just like they had to get us hoocked on niggatine for the two generations before us, now they got to get them hooked on this so that this is their money, make us from here on out, and it'll keep with generations and generations. I believe it was tactful. I will always say that education starts at home. I'm always going to put some emphasis on the home structure. I forget about what the laws is because you're you're. Supposed to be their first teacher. You're you're the one who has gives them access to the TV or to the device, and you don't even have to take that step unnecessarily. Yeah, because of things like that, this generation being brought up by a screen. You now have first ladies walking out of the White House with a robot in here. This is this should be given to you know, kids, to teach them to become teachers and instead of and replace like regular class education in a in a physical human teacher who can spot like, oh, this child has experienced abuse, and this child is now nourished, this child has not this child is sick like much in the world is going on, like this is crazy. I do want to I do want to push back just a little bit because I do well not necessarily push back, but I do want to add another perspective because I am kind of like a Niche was saying, like the idea of the parents, like some of the parents got to take weeks, got to take responsibility, be like, man, if you don't get your behind off that uh that phone and go to bed and and monitor that, I'm big with. I mean, I get all this soft parenting, but I'm I'm big with Oh okay, now you gotta turn in your phone. You can't use your phone. Oh okay. The door now, I'm taking the doors off the hinges. Oh okay, Like I believe like and maybe that's our generation that came from that, but I'm really big on you know what, what accountability do we have as parents? That's the first thing. And two to to to place all the emphasis on I guess the creator of the social media stuff. I mean, I get it though, I get it. I get it, I get it. I hear what you're saying, and I agree with that too, because I thought about that too, and I'm like dag it should be the parent. But I think what messed them up in this case is that they found a lot of the studies that they did because initially they they they Mark Zuckerberg testified to Congress is that no, our platforms are not for teenagers. But then they were able to pull up some receipts. That said, you specifically had people had scientists studying preteen behaviors and their their prefrontal cortex and how they could get addicted to platforms. Why would you be doing those studies if you're not yours on teens exactly. So it's just kind of. Like, see I didn't hold on. I see I didn't. I wouldn't take back what I just said. I mean, I do feel like we need to police so to speak. And you can say that's heavy or whatever language you I do feel like we need to be police and our children because you know, we again we are first children. We are our first children heroes, right, And to just throw them into I seen like little kids like throw tantrums when a phone is taken away from them, and it just blows my mind, like are you serious? And we're letting phones raise the kids like to keep them quiet? Here take the phone a young man. I covered the story. He killed his mom, she took his. I guess something, you know what the story is blowing you people must be idiots. What are you doing? Are you people out of your mind? Are you? I love? He deserves all of that, Martin Zuckerberg deserves all of that. All of that. He can get it. He can get it, he can get it. Go ahead. But yeah, and you know, we can kind of continue that conversation. And at the time, it's so many different layers about that, and it's it's just a shame because you know, I mean, I think if parents did know that all of that was involved, and they, like many of them, wouldn't even why do you think it's banned in other countries? But that's the thing too, right, I know you want to but places like I believe in I want to say China, Yeah, they don't. Even they don't even. First of all, I think they shut down at a certain time where they can't even access it. But they don't let certain material on a certain content. They don't even allow kids to view it. But we let them do everything that even the food. I don't want to get into the food, but it's certain places where you can't even get coolly. That's what we do, right, so we can monitor certain things, and so we got to start to think of. Is it yes government? All right? So final story, allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. So jay Z he sat down with GQ for a full interview, and what I loved initially about this is that he gave this young reporter a chance to interview him. Shout out to our young reporters from you Civic News that we took the time fifteen weeks to train them in literacy, youth. Fifteen media and independent media and you know all that good stuff. But jay Z started off. He talks about his year in twenty twenty five, including being accused of assaulting a thirteen year old girl. That lawsuit was dismissed, but jay Z was talking about how extremely angry he was and how could you just bring those type of types of allegations against somebody, And he also describes He talks about his amusement, amazement, amazement with Blue Ivy's performance on her on on their tour, and her growth and her talent. He also was asked about his thoughts on the Kendrick Lamar versus Drake Rap Battle, and his response was pretty surprising. Basically, he was comparing the Battle rap years ago to today's type of battle raps, and he said, we love the excitement and I love the sparring, but in this day and age, there's so much negative stuff that comes with it with it and you almost wish it didn't happen. It's too far. It's bringing people's kids in it. I don't like that. I could stand. It could stand before because there was no social media. You had the battle and it was fun and then you moved on. Right now, I don't know if it could stand. It's like trying to tear people's people's lives, people trying to tear down people's lives. I don't know if it's worth it at this point. I love the idea that we got so much music. And he's talking about Kendrick Lamar's album and how so much music came out of it and you know, Drake and all that. But he's like, I like the idea that we got so much music in such a short period of time. Just everything was like, man, this is this has. Taking us a couple of steps back, you know, the all of the stuff that came from it. But He's just like, we've just grown so much that I don't know if battling needs to be a part of the culture anymore. And I think people are shocked to hear that coming from I'm. A little shocked to hear I didn't. I didn't. I think I heard some whispering of him taking a position like that, especially when Jay had a background in battling. You know, it wasn't like I get the whole kids thing because we came up right our generation was like, you know, no women, no kids. They was off the I mean, we can go at it all day long. It was no women, no kids is and that was like kind of our generation thing. I feel, right, uh, I feel if we are talking bad work. So I'm just trying to I want. I'm wondering if he's considering just the battle rap culture as Drake and Kendrick Lamar versus like Smack and that type of battle situation, because they get personal, but it's an understanding of witty wordplay, schemes and all of that. That's a different kind of battle culture versus Kendrick Lamar and and they're pocking Biggie you know, uh, you know jay Z and and and nas and you know, yeah, so I mean it, So I would I probably as a reporter, if I was interviewing, probably would have went there. Like when you're talking about culture specifically, what because there is a battle rap culture that spurns spell that kind of spurns from hip hop and and if you listen to what they're saying, they know that it's. When you got cannon and like that show the show. Yeah, but I would just think that that deserves that just that deserves some amplification in the amount of work that it takes to prepare for a three round three four five six minute rap battle when you talk about each round like six minutes, because it takes a lot. Battle rap when we were. Growing up, because we are the generation of having it, that's what it was. Just like when we would cheer, you would go against somebody and cheering. It was the same way when we were raped were you had to have somebody in front of you and then you busting on them in your rap when you freestyling. So it was it was a part of the culture. So I see what you're saying about what level is he? Yeah, not exactly what level what when you talk about culture. So I would have wanted the report of to dig a little bit like you know when we talk about culture specifically what you know, because he that's what he got his Pretty much why we supported Jake because it was like he came from the gutter. He was willing to battle whatever. He was great at what he does. In fact, you know, he gets a lot of credit for, you know, the way that he puts together his rhyms by not even writing right. And so when you talk about somebody that that's as talented as that, who got their start literally battling, how can you how can you say, I don't know, I'm a I'm a j fan. I just need to see the interview. I didn't see the enemy. Right, and I can understand like a lot of what he's saying, like you know, you didn't have social media then to where like if you were saying to somebody to their face. Like yeah, your. Baby mind is Like if you the stuff that Kendrick Lamar said to Drake, they said to one another and they said that to their faces. You know what I mean, Like if there was no social media, it wouldn't have gone viral. You wouldn't have people that are just like I hate Drake now and and you know, because. I don't know, I don't know. Yeah, because we didn't have social I'm gonna let you finish. But it wouldn't. But when we think of that NAS and J beef, we ain't have social media back then, but everyone was did you hear that? I was like, God, is stand up? I mean it was that was kind of like a viral moment. But at the same time, you have stands who go on social media and they start doing stuff and then like when it comes to that, I think he's talking about on that level, well even isn't or fifty and t I going through a beef right now, but now I would have been able to do that though, right And then like you have I know when they said bringing people's kids and stuff and all that. Like and a lot of the yeah, a lot of a lot. Of the like when you do the battle rapping like versus then like you said what you said in person and all that, and you might have heard some rumors after it. They start then take their beef to social media, so it goes to another level afterwards. It doesn't just in there. It's like you know, it starts like a back and forth and then sometimes depending on who the beef is, it turned, it can turn deadly. It can That's real. That's real. I mean, but you know, I get you. I think that's I guess I was separated by way of like commercial stuff versus true battle rap culture, right, because you have people that's still in kind of like the battle rap culture. Like when I think of like that, when you had the like that your Buttons and all of those that had the leagues, the battle rap leagues, and then you have people like again like Smack and you have you know, Cassidy and and Red Dollars and all these people Like that's literally like when you talk about battle rap culture, you have to think of Philly when we talk about this stuff, right, and the Bone Collector all the people from Philly that really represent in terms of battle rap. And then because that's that's the era that I came out, and you know, you had you know, uh, from state property to you know, like the yeah it asked us with you know, I mean you had so many different people, especially in Philadelphia that was it was about battle battle in Philly is it's it's different. I mean, it's I mean. Where wasn't rock sand Shante with the other Shante saying who the real Shante? Hold on, I'm gonna let you finished real quick. Hey, this is if we cannot be complete unless you listen to. Or watch we talk with. And do that you brought for sure. So yeah, yeah, but but jay Z, you know, definitely check out the full interview. He defended his selections of super Bowl headliners, saying that for a lot of years, it was only one side of music being represented and you. Got whatever you got. But he's saying now that it's pretty much more balanced. And then you know, he's just saying, like, basically, on his pick of Kendrick Lamar, he said, I chose this guy who was having a monster year. You know, I think it was the right choice. What do I care about these two guys? And this is this little part is kind of like. A lot of people, I'm not gonna say a lot, but some people didn't really care for this part. But he just was like, basically like I chose him, and like, you know, what do I care about these two guys? Battling talking about Drake and Kendrick, And then he's and then he's just like, like, what what's that got to do with me? Y'all basically saying like have added, they dripped, they drag everybody into it, like everybody's part of this conspiracy to undermine Drake. I guess. But it's like, I'm f and jay Z. So then he's laughing like, all due respect to him, but I'm F and whole respectfully, it doesn't make any sense. I get what he's saying. I guess. I'm to his voice, how does he. I'm sure they taking it out of context? You should you should imitate this voice when he just said that because he talks slowly like oh shod it wasn't because then he got that New York accent right right right, Yeah, I can hear him. Say that, like why I got you? I got you. They probably hating on what he said. I'm sure Kendrick get it, but yeah, yeah, I get it. He's probably he's trying to say, like all this drama that's out there that's coming from him and you bringing everybody else? Why do you bring? Like I don't have nothing to do with it. I'm jay that's there being not man like you trying to bring which one you like better, you know that type of thing. I get it. So he basically was saying that. But then you had some people who are just like why is he saying and like that, like he's cocky. That's why I said, if you can imitate his voice, because if you knowing his personality, it don't it don't come acros. I haven't seen an interview. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's talent. Yeah. But he talked about Beyonce and and his children. He talked about you know, the albums and all that, and you know Reasonable Doubt and four for four and you know his relationship with j Cole, billionaire status, inclusion of black people and more so, just you know, go ahead and check that out. And jay Z's He's going to be headlining the Roots pic Nick Here and Philly the City Brotherly Love on May thirtieth at the Belmont Plateau in Fairmount Park. And this is going to be a two day festival on May thirtieth and the thirty first. This is the first time is being held at the Belmont Plateau. And the Roots manager and president of Live Nation Urban, Sean g He said after meeting with Mayor Charrelle Parker and hearing her vision for Philadelphia to fifty. She truly inspired us to dream even bigger and we're grateful to her and everyone who helped make it happen. So he's going to be Erka Baidus co headlining with him with jay Z. As a while. So that's a major shout out. No, no, no, no, we're not doing no, you were not doing that. We're not doing that, especially when it comes to the roots. So let me call out the roots real quick, because we talk weekly has reached out three years now for press and you didn't hit his back. So if the care less about if to y'all get back towards not like real talking shout out, shout out the shout out the jay like this and jay Z. He also is doing concerts in New York, which it sold out like they. Had right like two minutes. Yeah, because they had like they were doing like a whole because you know, they're trying to keep like scalpers from like stealing all the tickets. So once the tickets went live, I think it was like either six. Hundred thousand people on hold to try to get tickets, but then it went to one point five or six million or whatever. So good luck I've seen hop. I went to a concert by myself here in Philly and it was phenomenal. I mean he literally had on the T shirt, jeans, I forget what kind of sneaks he had on, no background, people and nothing, and it was amazing. All I gotta say is one word, powerhouse. If you know, you know it was good. You got A and Jay for selling out the garden in the day. He's gonna do it again. He did it again, like more, there was more. And that's the crazy part. He's not even this generation, you know, not even the last year. It don't matter. All us going. Most of us is going us and our children with us. Do you see what I'm saying? Like for real, like they really, you know, they do give him as flowers. Yeah, because if you think about like rappers that have left you profound, like you know, their lyrics are just profound and you have to literally sit there and think about what they said because it's just like on it's just multi dimensional mentally, it's just like he's one of them. One of my favorite got to be like he just said. One of my favorite lines from him was I'm so far ahead of my that I started enough life. Look behind me to pass you twice back to the future. Got a slow for the president fast. Just can't get past my past. So how you propose to deal with my perfect present? When I unwrapped the gift in the curse in one session, he said, ain't no other, he said, ain't no good testing only two wrestildents heaven could be mentioned in the same breakfast on seventh straight. Summer's critics might not admit it, but nobody right. Did it quite like I did it? If you did it, I've done it before you bid it. I had it, got mad at it and don't want it no more. And it goes from everything from flipping that row, flip the horse for the vocal course, don't get it twisted? Get it right, did it different, did it better? Did it nice? Did then possible? And then I did it twice? Get it right? Like that's one of my favorite Like when you talk about whole we grew up with that, you know I'm saying, I'm just trying to say, like you know, and so that's why you would have that was you know, Hoole was the how can I put it? He was the hustler. He had the hustler anthems. And during that time, that's all we was doing in the hood. We hustling, like I'm a hustle homie. Shout out to Cassidy. But you're talking about that's why. And he put on. People from Philly speaking of Cassidy. You got it. You gotta see his story when he went to that I'm gonna be quiet alone. Well he he freestyle.
