you
you
Yep, we're doing the intro.
Alright, good morning. Welcome to Community Voice. I'm your host Keith Parasota. Thank you everybody for joining us this morning. Good morning, Clark Kent. Who you with? Hey man, I'm with the people. Apostle, what's happening? Bishop, Chairman of the Board. Today, I wear this hat to celebrate 250 years of being an American. I'm going to give me a green beret.
That's a green beret, baby. We black beret, though. So you've been here 250 years? Yeah. So, you know, every now and again, I reincarnate myself. OK, that pushes up against your religious tradition.
You know that that's that's kind of eastern religion that you come back as something else Have you heard people like like I've been here before no, yeah No, you see some kids man, and you swear these kids been here before cuz for you to act like that is Well, I don't know why we'd be trippin on old babies acting old right Like how yeah, there's a old baby. You know the baby come out
Yeah. Call her. Welcome to the program. Well, they actually just left the building. They just left. Yeah. They left. OK. Well, let me do this. And we do have some guests at 9.30. Let me do my little. I need to do a cleanup. I received an email this morning from a sister that listens to the program. And she was talking about.
Yesterday, I had, we were talking about someone had put it in the chat. I think it was happening, it's going to put in the chat how Republicans will do anything to gain and maintain power. And I used a quote that was attributed to the Oakland Raiders that said, if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying. But what I was using that in context of,
is that people are in it to win it. And all is fair, love and war. So when people are looking at the rules, the rules really don't matter when you're on a mission. And so no, I do not endorse cheating. And I hope I didn't give that impression. I was trying to give it in context to the conversation we were having about what people are willing to do, and specifically the Republican Party.
to go after power and maintain power. And if they're cheating, so what? That's just how the game is played. And I know that in any competition, you want to get an edge on your opponent. I mean, that's just real talk in terms of wanting to be able to do that. But yeah, it was just this whole idea that
what people are doing, you're seeing that. I mean, Trump wanting to do the so-called save act, where you're trying to change the rules to give yourself an advantage, the racial gerrymandering that's being done. So there are evidence out there of people who are willing to violate, well, and people willing to cheat, to do whatever you can in order to win.
Yeah, so well, well, you know Sometimes you got a mood of gold post, you know. Yeah. Oh, yeah people do it all the time. I do you know what you thought and I wish you know, it was just a Republican Party, but I've seen people or I just tell you man people are They're I don't even know the word for it when it comes to wanting to have our way
But we take that. People do anything, man. And then it's amazing how situation of your ethics or your morality comes, right? Or becomes. Reverend Wazel used to always preach about situation of ethics and how we will, depending on the situation, we might give up something that we ethically believe.
Four one four four four four five two five zero four one four four four five two five zero Hey, man, how the Padres? I mean, I know this is kind of out of nowhere. They gave up 23 runs to the Cubs 23 runs it was 23 to one. Yeah Now now well one of the guys a three home runs man. Yeah, I mean who was picked well now look
Everybody's talked about how depleted the Cubs bullpen is, but San Diego's bullpen must really be. I mean, that's like a softball score. Man, listen, man, I think they had a center-fielder pitching, because I know, wait a minute, your regular rotation pitches, even your bullpen pitches, man, would actually give up that many runs like that, man.
That was like that's crazy man. I get mad when the brewers give up one run but imagine that you give it up 23 But do you have to man? Do you know how long that game had to have been? Well, yeah talking about people. What is it like bad around? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, like four times. That's like nine people in the any That's crazy That's nuts man. Yeah. Hey Jalen Brown to get traded to Philly, baby
For Paulie. Stinking George. Wow. They traded Paul George to Boston. And Mitchell Robinson just signed an agent. No, not with Lakers. With Boston. Yeah. Yeah. Did we talk about LeBron leaving yesterday? No, but. OK, we'll do that a little bit later on. Yeah. But you know what, though? And I know we're going to talk about it later. But he was really smart.
He waited until... He waited until the Lakers guaranteed Brownie's contract. After they guaranteed his contract, then the news broke he was leaving. That boy's a genius. Hey, man, if you got the leverage... He's a genius. You know, people been doing it for years, man. They talk about in the NBA and in the NFL how...
the so-called coaching trees would be like families, you know, and Howard Dad will make sure that his son gets the job. I don't know if you remember, what is Dick Bennett, when he left, he was coaching out of Washington and made sure his son got the job. Bruce Pearl down in Auburn, you know, made sure his son got the job. Yeah, they all do it, man.
Yeah, they do it in the corporate world. They do it in the world of sports. I mean, it's everywhere. Guy Stations, man, they set it up and pass it along today. Well, I mean, wouldn't you do it for your child? Of course. You know, when people look at that, you know, they talk about like, succession plans in churches. Yeah. And, you know, the pastor's son will be the next pastor. I mean,
people look out, you know, we always talk about generational wealth, but you know, generational opportunities. I don't know about that, man, because my brother never messed a lot of things up for us. We would have been like Linus had a black grocery store. Our store was Tyler Food was on Houghton in Locust. And my uncle, my brothers and them two were fighting.
That part wouldn't tell you right there. You know, and you know, he wouldn't listen to him and he would still, he would have been like, you know, he's had a nice supermarket right now, man. I can see it right now. Hey, but Clark, I'm not arguing that they are prepared for it. But it's, it's, you got to, you know what? I think you just got to train, train your kids to be prepared. They got to, they got to want it.
They have to want it. You know what I'm saying? They might not want it, but they have to want it. And I think that sometimes it's the educational piece where, you know, you're going out and you want to do things differently. If you look at Lena's, the one thing about Benzley Martin was that he was a brilliant businessman. And here's a guy who never went to business school. I mean, you know, there are people out there, well, you know, when you go to business school and you learn a little something, something.
that you coming back and he's kind of going like, and I think that there has to be this mix between, you know, new technology, new approaches, but then your foundational principles don't change, right? Those things that you're able to do and you're able to maintain. So, yeah, I mean, there's a story in the Bible, you know, when Samuel retired as a prophet and put his sons in charge and he had to come out of retirement because these near do well, Negro, you know, I mean, so.
Now, other instances, the sun comes in. I'll give you a great example. Joel Osteen. Joel Osteen has done far more than his dad ever did. But his dad positioned him to be in that position. As a matter of fact, Joel Osteen wasn't even a minister. Joel Osteen was over there marketing. That's what he did. And I think after his mom died or anything.
that when he was elevated, but he already understood, because he had learned the business. Whether I like him or not, Donnie Swagger is another one who learned the business. He would be out with his dad. He set up the crusades. They started purchasing the radio stations. He was involved with that. So the mechanics of how the organization should run was in good hands. But you're right, Clark. It don't mean that just because
They give it to you that you should be the person that should be in charge right cuz you reason why I found out he was giving it to my brother because they was my brother was the first oldest right So and then my other brother was the second so it was like but they were just like man Man I can just I can tell y'all so the story man. I can tell you and families do and that's the other thing like family
You got all kind of stuff. You got the sibling rivalries. You got you know, I don't know why he's doing it. I don't know why she's doing it. So sometimes the The biggest barrier to your success is your your fellow family members. Yeah. Yeah, so All right four one four four four four five two five zero four one four a Clark and I don't know He said it over to you. Did you get the can we talk about Mount Olive pickles?
Yeah. I put it up there. It's an olive. Pickles. Pickles. Pickle Pickles. Pickle Pickles. Pickle Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle. Pickle.
Michelle was talking about the, if you ever had some people, man, I can't cuss, but you have somebody to just eff up everything. Oh yeah, oh yeah. And that's how I feel about Donald Trump right now and this whole 250th celebration of the country. It just seems like it's about him, his glory, his carnival.
It's not inclusive. Yeah, you know, I mean, it's just how can anybody? Well, I guess anybody can. Well, you just so narcissistic that it's always about you. So what I don't understand is how the people that is actually I don't want to say celebrating him, but like worshiping, you know, this cat man that, you know, they see all of the stuff that he's doing.
And yet they still can't find any fault in this guy, man. It's just amazing, man. Well, they have not showed up for this America State Fair. Oh, it was funny. I mean, it's like empty. It's predicting that unless he did what he's done in some rallies in the past where he actually pays people to come in, that it's going to be pretty sparse. They're on the mall on Saturday. But let's talk about Mount Olive Pickles.
And you know, I know people I will now I will I will be using if I buy pickles relish. It will be my not okay And I'll just read this real short article says Magworld has sharpened his knives for my not of pickles The president supporters have declared a boycott of the 100 year old North Carolina pickle company after withdrew from the great America State Fair over confederate Confederate flag display in the state's booth
MAGA's devotees descended upon the X-page of Mount Isles Pickles after the company pulled out of the sparsely attended fair in Washington, D.C. The saga unfolded last week after the company accepted an invitation to participate in North Carolina Pavilion, then got blindsided with a video displaying the Confederate flag. We're proud of our North Carolina roots and we agree to be part of an exhibit as presented to us that would represent the best of our great state.
My name is Pickle said in a statement on X. We are unaware. We were unaware that the image of the Confederate flag was included and the video is part of this exhibit and we were drawn our participation. Our country stands on values of human dignity, opportunity and freedom. And then you know you had people going and I'll never buy your pickles again. My Confederate ancestors wouldn't want me to y'all are traders, the self anointed.
MAGA account said, just through my Mount Olive Coastal Pickle Spears and the trash and other accounts said no more Yankee Pickles, FVU Mount Olive and the mule you rode in on. If I had purchased Mount Olives for the last time instead of third user whose bio red Democrats goal is to destroy the United States. Shout out to Mount Olive Pickles. We don't have enough of people publicly standing and doing the right thing.
Manolo pickles and when I use do my sloppy joe sliders I will be using Manolo sweet pickle relish. So quick question so the people that chimed in are upset because
The pickle people pulled out of the Right the pickle people pull so many peas man, but uh, so wait so people are upset because they Right didn't participate right and I don't know what what it is with these folks You do know the Confederacy first of all committed
treason and success and they lost the war. Well, you know, there was so funny that you brought this up. I was just watching a young Gen Z guy talking on social media and he brought up a point. He said, you do know that the South really won the war. It appears that way.
It appears that way because he was like well you know all of the Jim Crow laws and how long it took and all of that other stuff he was like so in reality and some of this stuff is still in place so it's like you look at it and he was like well in reality the South really won and it's like when you kind of look at it it's like wait a minute it is because some of the stuff that we was fighting against is still in place.
Yeah, I think the other thing about the status quo and I talk about it a lot is it's hard to move the status quo You know, it really is I mean once people get used to things being a certain way It is hard for people to change when we talked about it yesterday how Slave owners were compensated for loss of property, you know by the US government. So, you know
And I think that when we kind of look at this 250-year celebration, I appreciate what Michelle said, you know, celebrated, but also in the back of your mind, understand the fraught history of this country. And don't forget our contributions to the country. But yeah. And yeah, she was talking about, I think, is La Fatale.
who was the guy who was the architect for DC. It was Benjamin Banneker then who was able to come in and then really do it from his head where he laid out Washington DC and what Washington DC looks like now. So don't they got a Benjamin Banneker clock? A what? A clock. Yes. I think he had an Almanac. He was he was he was quite a he was quite a
Quite a genius. Yeah, you can be quite a genius. But yeah, he and it said a whole lot about when you would hear about the so-called inferior the inferiority of dark people and begin to realize that That wasn't the case that there was this whole intellectual Acumen that we brought look man. We came from the descendants of the Mali dynasty
and Mansamosa and I think the first cataract surgery was done at the University of Tenbuktu in the 1500s. So, you know, when you're looking at us as descendants of African enslaved African people and African people, we should take great pride in that and almost things that when they tried to do collectively. And at the same time, we're all individuals too, we're all human.
All right let's do this we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
and 106.5 FM with your host, Keith Parris. All right, welcome back. And we have on the line, Ms. Michelle Pitts-Luckett and Ms. Farina Brooks. They're here to talk about an event that's going to be happening on Saturday, July 11th. Good morning, ladies. Good morning. How are you? I'm great. I'm well. Good. Good. Good. So tell us.
And Clark, can you put it back up with this very special event you're having on July 11th? Your range in United WI, we came to get like 2019, but we were all working together before then. And so Mr. Chef Lucky Fifth is actually one of the people that's on our team. And so it was just put in my spirit to
We've never been able to do one with her, where the goal of this, and I did tell her this, which we all know that Michelle loves to give. But our goal for this was for us and the community to come together to try to do this together, where we take donations and everything so that we know she's going to, because that's her. But our goal is really to bring the community together to show how much we really do love her.
and how much we do appreciate her because she does so much for all of us in the community. And so we felt like this was a way for a dream team and the community to be able to show her how much we really do. She know we love, but it's always good to show. So we talked with her and I said, well, Mr. Sheo, also, you know, we need to bring some life, right, to Jerusalem Missionary Baptist Church. So this is a way to do all of that in one event.
So, tell us about the event. So, the event is Saturday, July 11th. We'll have free horse rides where everything is free. We'll have horse rides. We have the video game bus. We have pretty girls educated coming with their bus. Gideon, Verdeen, Williams will be a DJ. Jerusalem, Mr. Baptist Church Band will be playing. We'll have free air berating, free air cuts.
for each painting. And of course, everybody know what Dream Team do. We will be there giving out groceries. Also, we will have hot dogs and burgers, things like that. So if people would like to donate, just know this is a donation not for Dream Team. This donation is to show our love and support to our own. This is Michelle Luckett, who gives so much to everybody else. Michelle? Yes.
So when you give, it'll be given back to the community. And when I say that, you can give what you are a healthcare worker with healthcare information. I know we do have a healthcare facility here as well as they have different for pregnant women, information for pregnant women. They also will be given away Pampers.
as she said, shoes. I mean, it's so much information. There is daycare information. Also, with the health care information that will be given, they will help with insurance, as well as letting you know you don't have, if you don't have insurance, you will not be denied health care. So we have so many vendors coming and it is so much, it's very, it will be very informative, very informative and very community.
um mind it and so uh when you come there we'll feel it you will see it and you will know this is really nothing but love and that's what we want to do we just want to show love and show that whenever community comes together we can't do anything but for i mean we have so much information in our community but
If we just get it out, let people know what we have. Even with education, a lot of people don't even know the next step of getting in a school. If you don't have the money, you'll be able to speak with someone there, just kind of giving you some direction on what you need to do in getting in school, whether it's regarding Fran or whatever the case may be. But it's going to be so much information and so many vendors out there.
When I say giving, I mean, given materialistically as well as giving out information, mindful information that will be educated information, health information, I mean, name it. And I was talking to someone the other day regarding the lunch program that they have out since the students are out of school. I was always, you know, I would always hear where as some of those students
the best meal that meal that they would get in a day's time is the meal at school. The school is out now. And there are several facilities that fill the lunch and breakfast, dinner, even dinner. I know the Salvation Army as well as there is several Milwaukee public schools that have full programs. So that information will be given out even where activities
take place in some areas or some schools or churches. Information will be given out. So people need to know it. They don't know what can they do. But here, come, be there, bring family, bring your family. We are going to have a great time, a great time. And we're so excited to be on your radio show. He's so excited. And we thank you so much for allowing us this time.
Because when I tell you I'm excited, I know she says, for Michelle, we just want to show her, you know, it's so hard for me to tell you, it's so hard. And, you know, I believe I just got, I got the, I can't help it, give back. And I just, that is just me. And that's what I do when I, I love people. All right. So again, the event, give us the name.
I see JK4K, the Dream Team United, WI, and New Pits Mortuary at the historic Jerusalem Missionary Baptist Church. Jerusalem is located at 2025 West Cornell. No, I'm sorry. That was the era. That was the era. The address is 2505 West Cornell Street. That is on the corner of Titonia and Cornell.
You can't miss this big beautiful brick church that was founded by none other than the late Dr. Donnie Sims and my mother, Mother Neely Sims, my mom and my dad. Over 50 years they founded that church. And so if I don't do anything else, I will continue to let their legacy live on. Okay. So it's 2005.
with Cornel right there in the corner, Cornel and Titonia. Am I right? Yeah. Right. There you go. No, no, no, it's 25. Oh, 25. Right. 25, 25. Get the address out of their head and just think about the corner of Titonia and Cornel. There you go. 2505 West on Cornel Street, right on the corner there. Y'all gonna get that address together in a minute.
Yeah, if that's the address, I forgot we're gonna have bouncy houses and for some people that don't know, Miss Michelle has an actual black museum inside the church. And so people are going to be able to go in, especially our youth. We really want them to know, I mean, it's a lot of, you know, adults probably don't know a lot about the black history right here in Milwaukee. So Miss Michelle has that in a church. So people will be able to go in and look at the pictures and
find out about some of the history, you know, back then and now, some of the politicians, I think there'll be a couple of them there, so that if people have questions, they'll be there and they can answer some questions for them if they can. So it's really going to be nice, real nice. It's very informative, very family-friendly, very community, because that's who we are. We are love, we are community, and we believe in supporting our community and supporting each other.
All right, that would be July 11th, right there on the corner of Titonia Cornell. It starts at one and goes to five. People don't need to register. They just need to show up, correct? Yes, correct. Show up. All right. We appreciate anything else, ladies. Yes, I would like the city of Milwaukee to stay tuned because we have none other than listen, Reverend Keith. He will be bringing word real soon. So stay tuned. Listen, Keith.

Keep, add me on to be your assistant doc. Well, you know what, Michelle, I saw this at your dad's funeral when your brother
the late Bishop Daniels and Bishop Hines passed that mic.
Let's pass the mic. Jack, I'm ready. I got a better brother than my soul. Well, if if you're going to pass it to the man, you may well let me get a little taste. Hey, you got you got to come in here, Deebo, priest. When I tell you, priest, in his singing, he's preaching. That man, he's song. He's song. He led a song in solo. When I tell you, he's song.

We're just excited for the Lord's lessons, just everything that God has for us on that corner. And so I'm excited to, I'm very excited to have you and that'll be real soon. So I'll be talking to you real soon. All right. Well, I'm honored. I'm honored. No prayer.
Well, Keith, when you come, just know I'll be there to raise the offering when you're done. And I'm going to have that dollar. Sound like Sister Piss raised the offering at that church. I appreciate you all.
No, no, I was I was just gonna say yeah Deebo did good job. He even had me crying. Oh, that ain't hard. Yeah. Give me that ain't hard. It's okay. Listen to this. Clark came back to the station that Monday and told everybody well, it's official.
Tell him what you did yesterday. I said, you tell him what I did. He said, he's a deacon now. Everybody got to call it in. He's still going to do the blue show. Oh, he had me all messed up around here. Oh my goodness. All right. Thank you. Thank you, Miss Michelle. Thanks a lot. Thank you, Miss Farina Brooks. And again, that event is like July 11.
the day before my birthday, from one to five, right there on the corner, Tatalia and Cornel at Jerusalem Baptist Church. Thank you, ladies. You're welcome, and thank you for having us. No problem. You're welcome. Thank you for having us. Yep. Yes, hey doc, I am ready.
No pressure. Hey man, I'm gonna close the doors. I ain't gonna let nobody leave out. She locked the door. She locked the door and ain't nobody gonna leave out and we gonna get every day. That sound like mother at water. Oh, yeah. Well, the clear at water. Yeah, she locked the door. She closed those doors for the third offering. Yeah, Jack.
They pastor me the haircut offering pastor me do door knobs Cut that out cut that I mean, but I mean, but you've seen it. It's like 90 offers. That's that's that's Pastorial Sunday. That's when he's supposed to get is. Oh, well, yeah Well, I mean pastorial Sundays is it's totally different But I've seen churches like have like building funds and then like to win the building from money didn't come back
when it didn't come back right. They didn't have another offering. What do you expect happened to when you said it didn't come back right? I don't know what happened to it. I'm telling you, man, a whole lot of money fall off the table in that counter room. That's real talk, guys. Yeah, I'm just real talk, man. That's why, you know, one of the things that one of the benefits, when we saw this trend before COVID,
was that you can do an electronic giving now that goes right into bank account, you know, so that really makes a difference. I know that people had issues with ATMs in the church, you know, I don't, well, no, that shouldn't be, that shouldn't be an issue because that's just another.
way of you, you know, you know, compared to you going around to the corner store, to the corner gas. The ushers used to break your 20. You know, back in the day, you know, you come in and you can change from the ushers. So actually, not every hobos. They would stand there. There'd be a lady sitting there. She got the little book out and she write down your name and what you gave.
because people did, you know, it's you certainly can file it on your taxes. You know, back in the day, they would actually put in what you gave on a Sunday. That'd be public. I'm glad we got away from that. Yeah, but I think, you know, the convenience of it, because, you know, people people are always
They get mad at the church for the church trying to finance itself, right? And and so then they you know, like they got ATMs and Yeah, ATM is a convenience for me if I want to put cash in the church I would put cash in the offer it so that's the convenience is like You know, right? I was saying so I don't have to run up here to the store to try to break the 20 but man I think we have to just step into the 21st century Exactly, I'm trying to give it
When I was working for an Elliott management group, we sold credit card machines. And a lot of the watering holes is what I'll call them, bars, whatever you want to call them.
was able to sell those machines too. They were very leery of it. And I just said, you know, you'd be surprised how much more people spend. Right. Right. And they're not conscious of constantly going in their pocket. It's just leaving that card and they're not really paying no attention. So I know a guy now, he told me he, since the day he put that machine in there, he has not touched the money that goes there. He just uses the cash. Right. Right. And the other piece of it is, because you know this, you know, people in the bar and restaurant business knows that.
Oh, you have cash? Cash is easier to steal than if you put it in as electronically done. And so I know that there are people out there who may or may not like the idea of using your debit card, using your credit card, but the convenience of it and then the security of it for those owners. Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. We went to, what did we go out for? I don't know if it was our anniversary. Wow. It could have been our anniversary. We went to this new restaurant that opened.
downtown right there on Van Buren and Mason I think and so we got our bill and they put on there that there was a 5% 2% surcharge if you use a credit card. Well I paid in cash so she charged me the amount had I used the credit card and you know because she's so used to people
paying with credit cards and not paying with cash. So she was able to go in and adjust the bill. But yeah, I mean, it's a brave new world. Like I said, COVID, that's why giving didn't really go down in doing COVID when we're doing the lockdown because people still couldn't electronically give. A lot of churches got on the bandwagon then when they found out that, hey, you can go in and use support even now because I go to churches
and they might be taking up an offering and I don't have any cash. Well, they have those QR codes that you can go in and you can go in and give, so. Yeah, we start using a give a five, of course, and there's cash up, so there's so many ways that you can participate in the ministry of giving. Yeah, yeah.
You try. Can I have the outside rose please stand. That is that is one of our oratory songs. Man, you gotta hear y'all gotta hear Deacon Michael Jones. Oh my god. He turned to that thing. Man, he he just he got it man. He got it. He got it.
He got it. Did anybody see the two folks that were on the top of the Empire State Building? Yeah, I did see that this morning. I watched it. And they're in jail right now, but yeah. I watched it live and I was going like, whoa. Now you don't have to get up there to propose. Now you know the vote. Yeah. Now you know what we should have did that we should have played. Guess what color they are? Because you already know. We know. Ain't no black folks climbing the past.
We ain't doing it. And they said they didn't have no kind of nothing to them, man. No tell them nothing. They just climbed up and I guess they're their performance artists. So they knew what they were doing. Obviously they knew what they were doing. But man, when they got up and I'm talking about he proposed to her on the platform, but when they unfurled the Jimmy Hendrix quote,
They were actually on the top there. They were at the pinnacle. That was at the top top. I don't know, have you ever gone to a like, look down from a height and you can feel it in your groin? Yes, Doc. Oh, man. I was at the, in Texas, I was at the Radio Shack building, man. That was one of the tallest in Texas at one time, man. And man, I just, I got woozy. Come away from that. I come away from that window. Listen, man, I stopped riding rides because
The last ride I rode was the Eagle. That was, you know, because it's made out of wood. And boy, when I tell you, we got up there and that thing stopped. We at the top dangling because they had to fix it and I'm looking down. Man, my stomach was in my toes. I'm like, yeah, I ain't doing this no more.
Lord, if you get down from here, I promise you, we just talked about this yesterday. Man, no, man, you just feel it. You know, and that's the other thing. Like right now, people are at the lake. I think the lake is only like 57 degrees. The temperature is probably warmed up a little bit. But man, you feel that when you go into that cold water, come up to that heat. Yeah. Dude, your body be going, whoa.
Revisit something you brought up on yesterday and you're closing and I know you haven't been here, you know Working physically out of the building, but on last Wednesday quite cool along with Dr. Alicia
uh walked away they kind of just stepped away taking a hiatus if you will he's taking on a new job so they're doing some other things but I know you probably wondered once you said no no we're not going going to them next you know that you didn't have to wrap up so quickly so I wanted to publicly say that for other listeners as well they may not have known that as well as yourself just wanted to kind of bring revisit that if you didn't mind oh no problem no problem at all okay all right
You're listening to Community Voice. Have they got a call? No, but we do have a break. You're listening to Community Voice. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
all right good morning good morning good morning again and welcome back to community voice okay there you go welcome back to community voice um you know today is uh let me do a couple things here let me do you know i'm a cancer so i need to do my birthday shoutouts uh so for my nephew brandon saffold his birthday is tomorrow uh on monday
Listen, Sunday, it will be my niece, Amaris, her birthday. And of course, my goddaughter, Caitlin, her birthday is on, her birthday is on. So I have a third and a fifth. My birthday is on the 12th. So shout out to all the folks, all my fellow cancers out there in terms of birthday shout outs. And I'll be doing more as we move.
through the month. Okay, let's see what I got here in the chat. I got one more thing. Where was I? I'm trying to think. Oh, okay.
Let's do a United States men's national team. I don't know if anybody watched the match last night. They beat Bosnia, Herzegovina, and they beat Bosnia last night. Fascinating match. It was a fascinating match because one of the American players who has an interest in back story received a red card.
And the red card means that you've been ejected from the game. That means that you're down a player It's not like another sports where you eject a player and then you can replace them You can't so man for more than a half The Americans play 10 down they were able to score two goals Now the issue going forward though. I think guys bundle in is
That red card means he can't play in the next match. We think they have Switzerland in the next match so And you know the men's team has always sucked and So this squad has been They've probably gone further or will go further then at least the team for almost 20 years from now
But they have, they've done real well. And I think it helps to be played here, you know? So every game is a home game for them. And someone said, don't forget Keon, we did. I think we acknowledged him. I know Michelle did it on the Thursday. I thought I did. His birthday was last Sunday, and I thought I mentioned him on Monday. But again, Keon Jackson Malone, he is mixed.
They mixed. He has missed. Caller, welcome to the program. Good morning. Good morning. Hello? Yes. Fine. This is Reverend Parris. This is brother Prince Roddy. How are you? Hey, Prince, how are you, bro? I'm good. Great. I just wanted to say good morning to everybody there, because you and Debo know me and my wife. And hopefully I'll get a chance
to meet the other people in the studio one day. But you were just giving out birthday shout outs. Zola's birthday is Monday. That's your new wife? Yes, you met my wife before. Oh yeah, of course, yes. Right, that's all I wanted. You know me, whenever I go on the radio, I keep it short, brief to the point. But I thank you for allowing me to say good morning and
mentioning my beautiful wife, Zola, that her birthday is coming up. I appreciate it. I've known Prince Riley all my life, so. That's correct. And I'm very proud and happy to know you and your family. Thank you and same here. Have a blessed day, all of you. All right, you too. Bye. Yeah, so again, if you watched it, I watched it.
I'm gonna be honest with you, man. I've been chairing for the African countries. Yeah, I've been, you know, I'm chairing for some how the Democratic Republic of Congo lost that match. Oh my God. Oh my God. Time had almost run out and they scored two goals. And then I think they catch them and and and and and what extra time and it was so close. So I was chairing for them. Senegal.
I think now, I think Kate Birdie is still headed. But yeah, I'm naturally rooting for the African countries right now. I think anybody who has to draw within the same draw as the US or Mexico, you know, Mexico.
playing in that stadium, I guess, in Mexico City is they've only lost two matches in that stadium. So talk about a home field advantage that they have in terms of their next match in America. So, you know, Americans got through the knockout round. They haven't been this far quite a while, but losing. Let me give you his name. That's going to be a big loss. I don't know if they're going to appeal that red card. You know, he got the red card because.
It looked like he stepped on the guy's ankle, but the replay shows that he barely grazed it. But that's that's a tough loss, you know, because it was going to be difficult them going forward. Just because now you're getting getting with the criminal to crime, you know, this next level. So let me give you this guy's name.
And here we go. His name is Balagun. And his backstory is that his mother was here on a visa. She was traveling back to Africa. And because she was pregnant, she couldn't make the flight. And so he was born here. And he ends up getting taught about birthright citizenship. He gets US citizenship.
So his name is floor la red Bella gun he gets red card will miss the Belgian game But there's another kid out here and and I don't know how much you all know about soccer if you follow it, but Malik Tillman Had a had a penalty kick that was almost perfect and that put America up to zero so America's next match will be against the Belgians
And I think that's up in Seattle. So is that Monday? Yep. Yep. Wow. Yeah, man. It was a good game yesterday, man. I watched it. Man, and the US actually looks good, man. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Good. And the number of black players on that team that's prominent. So like I said, obviously, you know, you've got a roof of the home team.
But like for those African teams that are still there Yeah, I'm definitely see what we got here Make sure I want to see who's still left But man the Democratic Republic and they got enough problems already the Democratic Republic So let's see who's still left Wow America is like
Okay, that was their group Okay, I'm pulling up the matches for more talk much four one four four four four five two five zero four one four four four four five two five zero Okay You guys building it's not showing who's still left though Here boy, so I'll pull it up
So, LeBron's leaving LA. Yeah, he's leaving LA. He, you know, told Rich Paul to talk to every team, but every team know he's available, but we know he's not coming to Milwaukee. We know he's not, you know, going to Sacramento. We know he's not going to Washington.
Utah, any of those teams, so those teams are out. He's not going back to LA because they just went and got three white guys that are supposed to be their future with Kessler and Austin Reeves and Luca. So I guess that's the face of the team. I saw Stephen A. Smith going off about that. And so my guess is either go to the state.
or they trying to build a super team in Miami. Because they actually going after Dame Lillard too in Miami. Don't know how that's going to happen. But yeah, they trying to build a super team. OK, and the African teams that are still playing is Algeria, Egypt, Cape Verde, Ghana.
And Morocco, so there's still African teams playing. Ghana has a pretty good chance at playing Columbia. I don't know how good Columbia is this year. Yeah, so, all right. David Brown going to Philly. He was going somewhere sound like because when they were talking about the...
the trade talks with Giannis his name came up as a as possible, you know trade so whatever he's done in in Boston, I don't know if he wore out his welcome in Boston or What it is and I mean, you know Paul George in this be like his 13th 14th year Yeah, Paul George is on a decline which
Makes no sense of why they would even trade for him But I think Boston was just tired of JP and they just wanted to get rid of him for whatever He was outspoken And and I think they just wanted him to shut up dribble and shoot and run Well, I do know when they did that I don't know if it's a 30 for 30 and they talked about Boston and the Celtics
And he was like Bill Russell. He was pretty honest about how racist a city Boston can be. So I don't know if that had anything to do with it. I don't know if it had anything to do with it. He just couldn't figure out that here situation. He was leaving marks. Well, I think it was because after this season and they lost and he said that this was his best season, they felt some kind of way.
But how can you tell this man how to feel and what he thinks is best for him? I mean, if he thinks he individually had a great season, let him live with that. How can you take that from him? And it played well with him when Tatum went down. Yeah. So like, I mean, Boston to do what Boston did speaks volume of who they are. And if I was
JT, I'll be trying to find my way up out of there, too. Well, let me do this because they said I have not responded to their post. So let me respond to George's post. He said that Brown didn't request a trade. If it wasn't for him, the Celtics would not have made it to the playoffs. True. He was talking about the climbers as publicity stuff, a very good publicity stuff because they had every
Major cable news network focusing in on him. So yeah And then And then he said I was surprised I don't watch soccer But I was surprised that there were so many brothers. I you know, I think I know I Have a nephew in Miami who's a real good soccer player his dad was a football player, but he's really picked up soccer. He's he's gotten
He's getting good at it. Hey, man, look, and the money that you can make playing soccer without the impact that would have on your body playing football. Right. And why not? But you know, we were talking a little while ago about floppy. Right. If you don't know how to flop in soccer, you will not play. Man, because I tell you, them guys, I mean, how they just throw their hands on them and they
I mean, they fled like fish out of water, man. Like they just go nuts. And then they get right back up and act like nothing happened. It's like, dude. Oh, man, because, you know, it's rare that when you see the replay, it was like, dude, that wasn't as bad as you made it. I mean, you know, I mean, they, they, they, and I think a lot of European basketball players also play soccer. So flopping was just part of that's how you get the call.
You know like like just go down and stay down. They'll let the play and then see if it's coming back But man that that flopping that's out there is is just crazy man. It's it's Okay, so we got today. We've got Spain and Austria Creation Portugal and Switzerland and Algeria 414 445 250 414 444
five two five zero call and welcome to the program. Are you gonna be a little patient call back four one four four four four five two five zero four one four. Got a call? Yep. Good morning. Good morning. Am I riding in danger?
brought me danger field. Yeah, that that went over it with anyway. I was trying to I do not and unless they know that we don't because if I had between, you know, I skinned with them on balls. What's the life on ball? You got some speaker. Could you break it up? You got a speaker? Could you break it up? Sorry, yeah.
What's it like to do it on Boston? Tatum. Tatum. If I had to choose between Tatum and Brown, I don't know about y'all, but I would keep Brown versus Tatum. Oh, I keep Tatum. Yes, I'm serious. Probably. But let me ask you a question. Before they won the championship, who was turning the ball over, throwing the ball away, making all the booby mistakes before they won that championship? It wasn't Brown. It was Tatum.
He had his moments. He had his moments. And if it wasn't for Brown last year, I'm not saying that the other guys didn't contribute. But if it wasn't for Brown, hold them together till Tatum got back where that little sonny did come back in. They wouldn't have made the playoff. Yeah, but now I'm thinking about that. There's a different team when it's just Jaylen Brown and then it's Jaylen Brown and Tatum. I mean, I think it's just a different team.
So you think they gonna go further unless they trade George Paul? You think they gonna go further this year than they did last year without brown versus brown George Paul in there? I don't know. It seems like they're putting a lot of their money on the white kid. It's a Derek White. Who is the ball kid? His last name is White, right?
Are you talking about Derrick White or did you say Derrick White? Yeah, Derrick White. So when I said the white kid, I wasn't talking about Pritzker. Oh, you were talking about his last name. Yeah, Derrick White. Yeah, yeah. They look and look, dude, he made the Olympics. Wow. Derrick White versus Brown? Yeah, I think that they see the ball player. They see the upside on him more than they see the upside on Jalen Brown.
I don't see it. So, unless there was something going inside that we don't know about, I don't get it why they would trade him. It could also be a chemistry piece too. So, you don't think they play good together? Yeah, but I'm saying how they get along in the locker room, it could have been a whole lot that went into that. It seems that the fact that he was even mentioning it. You don't think we've heard about that case?
If you don't think it was some problems going in within that locker room, you don't think we would hurt that, especially, especially from Steven A. No, no. We would hurt about that. You know, we didn't know much about what was going on in the bus locker room until dude requested a trade. I don't I don't whether he requested a trade or not. They were talking about trading them. They've been talking about moving him for the last year.
I don't get it, Keith. I do not get it. So, but that's sports, right? Yep. And the other thing too, which I have put in some polls, I'm like, okay, I got a call. I guess I got a call in to get my questions answered. I don't watch soccer. You know, it's not one of those sports I really get into. So I did watch the beginning yesterday of the game and I was totally, and I don't know about any of you guys.
Again, I don't watch soccer. I was totally surprised to see as many brothers on the American team as it was. And so I guess my question to you, because I guess they got all these different teams. Are they foreign Americans, the black guys on there? Yeah, most of them are. So all of them are, or can you say I want to play for this team?
No, I think all of them you you would have to in order you'd have to have some type of American status to play for the American team Okay, yeah, they all Americans again the the Baladon He's interesting because this his mom was here and she was pregnant and she couldn't go home and so Until she had delivered him and when she delivered him he got us citizenship
Well, he's an American. You're born on America, so all of you are American. There you go. And then Antonio Freeman's son is on the team. Thank you, Curly. I forgot about that. His son is playing. So, Antonio Freeman. Oh, yeah, I knew that much. Yeah, I knew that much. Yeah, but they're a pretty good team. Now, again,
They have not, they don't have like the World Cup experience. Some of the other teams like Portugal, Argentina, I mean, these, these teams, England, even though England has not won a World Cup in more than 50 years. You know, so they, they, they, it's, it's going to be, I think the experience speech is going to be how good they are going for it. But I think they do have a distinct advantage because they play at home.
So we've never talked about the bucks trade and unless maybe I didn't hear you got to radio one because I'm here. Yeah, let me I'm by my phone. I'm over by my phone. Let me turn it down. Okay. Is that better? Yeah. Okay. So what do you guys think about the trade the bucks made? Winner winner chicken dinner. I think that way too.
Not the only thing we got to get that I've been asking for for years If we could get a decent big man, I think we'll be all right because that dude from Indiana We got Tony. I don't know what kind of year you'll have this year if we don't get rid of but he disappointed me so bad and it was just like, okay, all of us included myself Was talking about getting rid of low pairs, right? Yeah, be careful what you wish for and that what they say
Well, well, well, well, George, you got to be careful too, because it's the system that they play in because the system he played in in Indiana was totally different than the system he played in under Doc. Yeah. And I think it takes time for teams to you got to have chemistry. This idea.
We got him. And we got him. You can be great individual talents. And then you have somebody out there. And then I wonder who is the glue guy for the Bucks. You know, that one player, that Josh Hart, that Draymond Green, you know, that player out there that can really, that was Drew Holiday. He was like the glue guy, you know. So I think they have to develop that level of chemistry.
So quick question to you guys, since we're talking trades and things. Now, there's a rumor floating around now, man, that the Bucs, and I wouldn't do it, but they're talking about Tyler Hero and Miles Turner for Zion. Check, dawg. No, Zion Williams, he's too injured, bro. He's been almost like the honest to me. And really, you'd be trading him to be like Tyler Hero. He's not on the floor.
If I had to take them, I'd rather keep Tyler Hero, at least because shoot. Well, they were talking about. What can he really do? Well, they were talking about as far as putting butts in the seats, and it could be a new start for him. But I don't think Zion is the answer to putting butts in the seats, though. I think you put butts in the seat with Tyler Hero because he's local.
You know and so you know you have that initially, but at some point the bucks have to start winning I don't care Who you put up there trying to put you know wins put put meat in the seats. Yes You don't stay here anyway, I would think they probably gonna use it for a trade piece anyway, Tyler Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah because they are actually overcrowded at the car spot because they got your boy in there that you pray so much
Listen, well, actually, actually, George, the one I'm hearing, and I don't know if there's any truth to this, but, you know, because they was waiting on Gary Trent to pick up his option or to sign because he had declined, but they said that he, that this spot is open, that he could go to Gary Trent because Burris, our draft pick from high school to college, war number five.
And his number now is zero. And so they was asking, is it because GT is coming back? But if he do come back, I'm sure that there's trades, because they got like 18 players if he come back. Because the Usman Deng just signed for three years. Right. I'm glad they kept him. Yeah, yeah. So there's some trades coming. And I like those two young boys that they drafted.
Yeah, plus the one that got I don't really know much about the one they drafted 10 on a when they drafted 13. They were the 13. Yeah. Yeah. But they kept it. But they kept it. They drafted 10th from Arizona. He's a bona fide shooter. He's a shot. Can he come in and play right away? Yeah, they saw him play in Arizona. You know, again, that that's that's college. I don't know if these guys can come in and they're going to have an instant impact on the team.
Well, he said, well, from what the NBA scouts are saying, they said he is NBA ready. He has an NBA body. I got all of that. That's the potential. But I'm saying, will he come in and really have, well, either one of these players have any real impact in terms of significant minutes being played and then productive minutes being played? Well, yeah. Well, let me know unless I'm going to get off and let other people call. But do you think that doc, because I'm kind of here to register
I don't know if they would with GT going to do this year if they keep them. But do you think that's a way to coach them up in this game this year? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Gary. Yeah. Gary. And how Gary. What is what what and you know, what is what does y'all with these undersized guards? Are you thinking but you only got one game. The NBA is about shooting. It's about shooting. It's also about guarding.
You are right about that. You know, we do have some guards on our team that couldn't even like always saying y'all laugh with guard Brenda. He's one of yeah, AJ Green is another one. Yeah, but don't nobody play defense, George. Nobody. Damian Lillard.
I don't pay Damian Lillard to play defense. Yeah, but I pay Damian Lillard to get 28 points a game. But he's not giving you 28 points a game. But what I'm saying is this. We keep saying defense, defense, defense. Nobody plays defense. That's not true. Nobody, except for Yanis. That's not true. Or I play defense. Man, bro. Who's gonna play defense? They play defense. And who? Who, Keith, who?
Kuzma plays defense. Carter plays defense. Kuzma. That's the dumbest thing. Let me do this because we're going to get hot up in here.
You're listening to Community Voice. The phone line's open. 414-444-525-0. 414-444-525-0. It will be right back.
All right, welcome back. Caller. You pointed at me, man. Caller, welcome. Welcome to the program. You know, Rick, Rick from Germany called in on the big dog show yesterday and talked to Al Sofflin and reported y'all.
I heard about that, man. That's what I was about to add. You know what? I'm glad you said that. I was going to execute. I heard about that. Somebody said that that Rick called it to the Al Sharpton show and said that your show was going off the air because of alcohol or something like that, man. I don't know what. No, that's not what he said. That's not what he said. He said you guys were sport. He said you were talking about alcohol and you were talking about sports and you ended yourself that he thought wasn't.
You know, he just, that's what he said. And then he said, he was talking about alcohol and alcohol is killing him because he used alcohol to kill the parasites, his body. Rick from Germany ain't no way we're gonna be on 39th and 7th or somewhere, man. But he's from Germany, he's got the old Germany area. They go over there around 28th and Berlach. You know what I'm saying? He called the hell a sharpie show man and made it. Hey man, he made it.
He made his sense. He went on syndicated radio. Yeah, I heard about that. And said, the cute Paris show in Milwaukee is trash. He did say that because somebody mentioned it to me. Amen, I got to go, man. That is true. That is true. Somebody mentioned that to me that he called into Al Sharpton's show and said something about going off the air and alcohol.
Keith Perry's show is all, yeah, I don't know where he got it from. I don't think we was talking about alcohol. Yeah, we did. Well, I mean, not using it like that.
No, we were talking about our experiences. We were talking about what happens to you when you're under the influence and why I don't drink anymore and why we don't drink anymore and what happens about, you know, when you find yourself in that situation and you send God, if you take me up out of this, I'd never do it again. So we'd won glorified alcohol. So I don't know where. What was going to happen? Reverend Sharpton is going to put me on time out. I mean, what?
While he was going, while he was going to call you and say, keep it real, keep it real. Yeah, but that's crazy for him to call it a national syndicated show and say Keith Parrish show from Milwaukee is trash. Yeah, doc, you, you. Yeah, you. And I'm sure a whole lot of people out there.
Who the hell is Keith Parris? Right. Well, I mean, you famous now. You famous now because Al Sharpton repeated your name. Just like they said in 11, you ain't famous unless you hate it, though. I mean, but for him to even call and say that. Now, some of the stuff he has called in and said, you know, I have actually got off the air and scratched my head numerous times.
But when I heard about that, I actually heard about that last night. So it's funny that the caller even called in and said that, because I was going to say something to you and it slipped my mind. And then it seemed like the caller really relished. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Do you see that there was a certain level of joy? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He was rolling in mustard on him. Yeah, like he was. It sounded like he was calling in to defend me. It sounded like he was almost endorsing the.
endorsing the sentiments. All right, Carl, welcome to the program. You know. Hello? All publicity is not bad. Can you take us off a speakerphone? Take us off speaker. Yeah. All publicity is not bad, you know. And, uh, but do you have to think about the source sometime that, that, that unleash things? And if you listen to the caller as he called China time you.
You know, it ain't all wrapped up tight. The bow was real loose. The paper's falling off the side of it. So just, you know, you'd like to sit at the source of where it came from. Well, someone put in the chat that the man said you guys were celebrating the use of alcohol when you guys were going off the air. He did not say you guys were trash. Well, who was celebrating then, though?
I mean, nobody wants to celebrate. You weren't celebrating. You was talking about the fact is when you used to keep playing something about when he had went back on it before, I listened to the program pretty much. But the thing was, it wasn't a glorified situation. But again, consider the source. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And, and, and, and, you know, like you said, now you're famous. Yeah.
Anyway, I won't get into something as it relates to Reverend Sharpton and myself. When we had these conversations, first of all, we were adults, right? And there's a sign that at this Methodist Church on Center Street, it says that every saint has a past.
Every center has a future, right? Oh, yeah And and so when you you think about those things that you did that you experienced in your life You know you talk about now. Hopefully you you learn You learn from those experiences. It took a couple times to learn that you know if you do excessive drinking you're gonna get real sick but I'm just saying it's a part of it and
and we should be able to have adult conversations is not glorifying but at the same time is not putting it down I mean people so my thing is Keith we had the conversation yesterday on the air if he felt some kind of way why he didn't call in and share his feelings because that like you you are that kind of host that you give
people the opportunity to share how they feel. So if you really felt some kind of way, you could have caught into the show and shared your feelings instead of calling a show that had no clue about what we was talking about. Yeah, because I'm sure he was going like, who is, who is Keith Parris? Well, okay. Well, but people listening. But no, I just think when we had these conversations, because we, it can be, of course, we have very serious conversations.
I know certainly when we have conversations around sexuality, we have conversations around religion. You know, I mean, it is, and I just believe that everybody has a seat at the community table. No opinion is no more important than another opinion, but at the same time, you know, and then it also celebrates the diversity of how we view the world. I got to call it. No, sir. No, sir. Okay.
I'll tell you what I said, I had to call it. You were a little slow on the uptick, though, when Michelle was telling me to cut me off. I was kind of going like, you might have to tell him two, three times, Michelle, before he could get to the button. Hello? OK, yeah. Sorry about that, Minda. We was doing live production live on air. All right. Somebody put yesterday they thought it was funny. We had production meetings. They thought that was funny.
Wait, wait, somebody say don't believe that right out. Oh, well, yeah, yeah Well, you know sometimes you're gonna have production meetings live and in person, you know, you know, we're doing it live. Yeah I'm just so glad that you're here to begin a program right out because I know sometimes you could
you can step out so yeah you know sometimes you know like right when you get ready to go on the air i have to step away and handle some business like i didn't have 30 minutes before anyway all right so you said that uh and let me i was gonna go on a rant
No disrespect, you know, I admire people that are just ballers, but I'm telling you man in the NBA is hard to win with undersized guards. I'm just that is true. You know, I mean, I'm gonna say obviously New York proved that you could win with with an undersized guard, you know, and Jalen Brunson, but he becomes the outlier. Yeah, he's not the rule.
And so those guys become contributors. Gary Trent has a great game, but he's a contributor. Gary Trent is not going to be averaging 25 points a game. I mean, it's just not in what he does. Unless, with this new system, that they increase his volume of shots. Yeah, but if they increase the volume of shots, it's probably going to be the volume of misses that's going to go up too.
Yeah, I believe that too. You know, so I'm just, I think, you know, sometimes, and again, people define the numbers now. I was just kind of processing this Jalen Brown going to fill it. It gives them another score. I mean, somebody who can create a shot. Yeah, but how are you going to run that lineup with Maxi, VJ? Because when they said everybody, but the team manager all in me.
He passes the ball out and you get guys who can create. So you saying that you will play JB at the two or at the three? Because his position is basketball, all I'm saying is you have another player who can break down a defense. And I think that's something Paul George could not do. He's old, man. No disrespect to old people. I'm old. He's old.
Jalen Brown still has a lot of physical potential anyway. Yeah, but that's a better deal. Yeah, but Keith, to be honest, Jalen Brown is considered old in NBA years because he's 30 with that knowledge on his mind. Yeah, but he's 30, but we peak our athletic peak is between 28 and 30, which is true.
But you also got those miles on your body from NBA. I got that, but so does everybody else. Yeah, but not the young cats. Yeah, but the young cats don't know how to play yet. Well, when you look at young cats like VJ Edgecomb that plays for Philly, now he was the shooting guy. So when you bring in Jalen Brown, Jalen Brown is like, what, 6'5"? Yeah, and he's about 20 to 22 points a game.
I get it, but where you gonna play them at? Are you gonna play them at the two or at the three? Yeah, but but I get it, but if you run all of those guards like that you too small on your back court Not really if he's six five maxi's about what six three Yeah, but but again though you looking at small four is being six seven six eight six nine sixteen
I think you can, he can defend the three, Jaylen Brown, he can defend the three, he can defend the two. So I think you figure it out, you put it out there because again, we're getting away from this one, two, three, four, you know, I mean, it's position is basketballs, your ability to keep moving, keep the ball moving, right, being operated space, you know, and then they have a very strong post presence in Joel and B.
I think Philly benefits from the trade. Well, I mean, one thing about MB, man, I hate to say it, but I think he's on the downturn from the injuries and his knees, man. And as a big man trying to move and post up down low, and yeah, man, I think it's pretty much. If you have trouble scoring threats, that takes the pressure. It takes some pressure off of him. Of course, of course, yeah.
So let me let me do this real quick to speaking of age. I did get a chance to watch Serena Williams third set. Oh, yeah. And yeah, man, she's 44. And you can tell. Oh, yeah, it was I mean, she looks like she's in phenomenal shape. I mean, it was like, but she's 44. There were shots that this young woman hit that normally she would run down. She didn't try to. Yeah, because yeah, because when you're
When your body tells you that you can't move like that anymore You know that you got to listen to your body man. Yeah, I think now give her credit I mean that the fact that she would even want to give it a try at 44 There is a woman her name is Diana Nia Diana Nia just started off. She was an Olympic swimmer and she had been trying to swim from
Cuba, the Key West. And every time she did it, something came up. I mean, she did it. Oh, I remember that. All right. I remember that. But she finally crossed it when she was like 60 something. Yeah, I remember that. Yeah. So, you know, but that again, that's an exception. That's not the rule. You know, like I heard, I don't know who said it the other day. They said Father Time has never lost. Undefeated. Undefeated.
And you might be able to be LeBron where you defy it, but obviously there are things that LeBron could do when he was 22, when he was 23 that his body won't let him do now. Yeah, I bet you he can't play back-to-back games like he used to. Oh man, I mean people like Yampus is hard for them to do back-to-back. I mean it's, you know, the physical toll.
that the sport takes on you, it takes on your body, and then you factor in things like travel, all these other things. I don't know, I think probably, it sounds like Boston wanted to move Jalen Brown. Anyway, I think Philly can benefit from it. And then, how about, what do you even say, a quiet letter going back to Toronto? I ain't gonna make too much a note.
you know, of that because Kawhi is pretty old too. So, um, yeah, they got a superstar name, but my question is, are you going to get the superstar play? Yeah. So that, that, you know, when you get in your thirties and, you know, you play for so long and running up and down, the pain hits you differently. Um, you know, compared to when you were in your twenties, man, and you, and you don't bounce back.
Yeah, it's quickly man your body heals so quickly when you're in your 20s 30s, but man after a while I'm a little witness to that Yeah, it takes time to to build to build that strength back Because you are older Yeah, yeah, that is true man Hey man
I I still want to play your protease man I still want to put hands on you and I'm putting out there that a DJ if you listening the offer still stands man I got my ball in the court in the car so whenever you ready I'm ready for you Keith are you there? Oh Keith go
He didn't sign off but we could sign off. It's about that time Well, we don't know what happened to Keith. So this is live. So we go He didn't pay his bill. Keith we go ask you to pay your bill so they don't turn off your spider fall He went over his minutes. He's peak minutes, you know I received the phone call and when I received a phone call it
Goes through the tablet. Oh, I thought you didn't pay your bill. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we you know I'm gonna say boy spiders don't play Yeah, man He's still got the pager He said the pager. Yeah, I got a beeper The two isn't a beeper the same as a pager the same difference. Yeah, but you know, that's what we call it like you got a beeper You got a beeper. No, why was it that any and everybody that had
a beeper, especially if you was in church for them preachers. You're a drug dealer. No, I'm not a drug dealer. Yeah. Well, most, most, most people with beepers are either an on-call physician or drug dealer or your mom, which is another name for a drug dealer, on-call physician. On-call physician. You know, like you don't call for your job, but.
Yeah, primarily the technology was used by drug dealers. Yeah, but I think that that was judgment, man, because a lot of preachers used to judge a lot of young people like that. Like, you'll see them with the beeper on the hip. You got some people on your hip. But you guys got to remember, other than the brick phone, when beepers were prominent, you didn't have cell phones. Right. You'd go to the payphone. Yeah. Well, I had a cell phone. In your car.
Well, I am in your fiat. No, no, no. So I remember the great. I had the fiat. You had to pull up the antenna. Yeah. But that's what I'm talking about. They weren't prominent. Well, no, no, it wasn't like it was now. You see seven year olds with phones in the back. Some room. See that the gang's the lead. I remember the bag phone. Yeah. Listen, I remember my daddy came out the house one time because he, you know, he's always will ride Cadillacs and staying in Lankans and.
They had a briefcase. It was a briefcase with a phone in it and I'm like Why you got a briefcase with a phone in it? But it was a man. I mean it was radio. It was and it was expensive to use Yeah, it was radio. I think that that was the beginning of technology. Yeah, technology and then they went to this kind of point-to-point and and not even now we call
We call it like our phones are cell phones, but technically they're not their mobile phones, right? You know, so we made that transition from, you know, the flip phone, the big phones, everybody remember Miami Vice? Yeah. And who had the phones, the drug dealers? Yeah, but when you think now, man, I look at technology and how it, you know, everything pretty much that you can.
do on a computer you can do right on your phone and on this little bitty device yeah that's the that's the scary part about it because back in the day then when we was younger like we used to try to scramble the tv so we could see uh stuff we weren't supposed to see on the uh on the cable tv is it hey is the statute of limitations up on that man i ain't talking about it i might still get a whooping from that but uh
But now it's right there in your hands and you can just put certain words in and it's popping up. So fifth, all type of stuff is available to anybody. Man, when I worked at this particular phone company, man, and yeah, I've had a lot of jobs for those that listen. I always talk about different industries because you try different things until you find something that sticks that you really like.
But you'd be surprised how many people would come in with that FBI screen where they'd unlocked it. Yeah, exactly. They watching forbidden stuff. Yeah. Yeah. It'd be amazing. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. They would lock your phone up, man. I know. All that stuff they was watching. Yeah. Remember when they were talking about R. Kelly and that p-tape? Yeah.
And they were saying, if you had it on your phone, you were in possession of child pornography. Yeah, I had it on DVD though. You were in possession of child pornography. And I think I still got it too. You know, it's funny how necessity drives technology, right? And when you think about, you know, who do you think made VHS tapes popular? Oh.
What made VHS popular? Yeah. Who were the first people to actually use VHS tapes? What, girls going wild? Those people? I don't know. It was porn. It's the porn industry. Yeah. And they were able to, because there were issues around HIV and AIDS. And so people would stop going to the bookstores, stop going to the theaters, but then you could just, they could send you a tape.
And then Hollywood figured out, like, let's put it on tape. I don't know if y'all remember, I had the conversation with Michael Schultz, and he was talking about Cooley High, and how he had gotten all that music for $3,000, right? He said, but then when they put it on VHS, a lot of that music didn't go on there. He was saying, because VHS now kind of changed the game, but it was really the porn folks who started using VHS before the studios did. Yeah. You're right. You're right.
All right, y'all. Well, man, we got a long weekend coming up. It's going to be so weird, man. Yeah. Because I have a medical. I got going for an MRI tomorrow, which is crazy because tomorrow is actually the holiday. So let me thank Sister Michelle Pitzluckett. Let me thank Ms. Farina Brooks. Clark Kent, thank you.
