Terrible guy.
I don't
Even Kiki Palmer came out and said he was weird.
I'm not messing with that man.
No,
no bueno.
Like I'm good.
He's crazy.
Then there was like a, like a, you know, when they clip up stuff of people, what people were saying, like he was, he was singing something and it was almost, it was almost like when R. Kelly was singing to them.
Do you want to come to America?
Do you have your passport?
Do
you have your shots?
Do you have your shots?
Do you want to come to America?
It reminded
me of that.
He's given some scary vibes and I want to find out if my feelings are correct.
I got a bad feeling about somebody
do you have
a passport?
Yeah, he be a show spending them girls miles man, and y'all be just standing there like like baby
Like they Like dang at least I should like just give us cherries, you know, I mean that's different Robert said y'all couldn't you write cousin Rob.
Let's focus cousin Rob said y'all cutting up today.
You're right
was Lock in your Shadows.
Jasmine Jazz West.
So she said she met, she went to an Anita Baker concert in 2018 and she gave her a high five at the end of the show.
She wasn't expecting it.
And Jennifer Hudson and Faith Evans sat two rows behind
them.
Now that's
crazy.
Strawberry passion back
in
high school.
Darvin Ham was behind me in a checkout line at Pick and Save.
real...
He was dunking on
everybody.
Huh?
Oh, is it?
Yeah, I think doesn't
That might make sense.
I didn't even know.
I know he's like still a coach on the team as well.
Ain't he like an assistant?
I mean, because he has a son, right?
I think so, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, man.
9-11.
9-11, Shannon.
Today makes exactly 25 years.
Since four hijacked commercial planes were used as weapons
Allegedly
On the morning of September 11 2001 two struck the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center In New York a third hit the Pentagon just outside Washington DC in a fourth crashed in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania after passengers fought back against the hijackers
The attacks killed 2,977 people that day, not counting the 19 hijackers, including victims from 77 countries and 4441 New York City first responders.
The 9-11 Memorial's official name reading also includes victims of the early February 26.
1993 World Trade Center bombing bringing the total names read today to two thousand nine hundred and eighty three eighty three.
You see how almost a tree.
Uh-huh.
This is just a
A tree.
The human toll.
Excuse me.
The human toll didn't stop in 2001.
Roughly nine thousand people have since died from nine eleven related to illnesses.
over the past 25 years, toxic dust exposure, cancers, and respiratory diseases tied to the wreckage.
For the first time this year, organizers added a seventh moment of silence specifically to honor those lost to 9-11's health effects on top of the six marking when each plane struck and each tower fell.
Yeah, let's pause Let's pause right there for a second y'all.
Can we do like a 15 second moment of silence?
Is that okay, brother Z?
Sure, let's do it
All right.
Once again, prayers out to all the families, everybody impacted.
They showing on the TV right
now.
The thing that like stands out to me the most, like above all things, like it's being on that flight.
took charge of that plan.
Do you know how like scary that has to be to be like we already know like what they did with these other plans
and
we have to do something to like save a bunch more lives like they literally sacrificed themselves like to know that was like the decision and like even when you like hear the phone calls of the people like explaining like yo this is going on we know this is it's over like sadly the people that went into the first tower probably didn't get that like time
you know what I mean to Paul and explain what's going on but like it just makes me think I guess having like being like surprised with something like that or having like I don't know what's more torture like being like I know we about to die and we need to like do something come up with a plan and crash into the ground and like sacrifice ourselves or just like being like
Dang we going into this plane.
This is happening and not being able to do nothing like it's just like such a messed up situation even the people that made it out the towers like the lady that got covered with The dust like known as the dust lady.
Have y'all seen that viral picture?
She made it out of the north tower.
Her name was Marcie Borders She was 28 and she made it out but she ended up dying of cancer because of the debris she was covering a lot of people around like ended up suffering like
Crazy like they suffered because like what you've been through what you've seen and then a lot of them ended up with cancer and things like that because of the dust that was around so It's just so many layers
Well, yeah, you know, our heart definitely go out.
Can you imagine being on a airplane?
You got people in control towers who are not even educated.
And the only thing they know how to do is play a video game and airplane and tell where the airplane try to go.
It's like a person who committed suicide telling you how to live your life.
Okay.
What I wanted to say to you and Shannon.
you know I know a lot of y'all be meeting celebrities but the thing is some of y'all gotta learn how to shut the hell up some
of
y'all run your mouth
too
much and that's why y'all messing up your bag now I don't have a problem with nobody spitting in my mouth you gotta brush your teeth first but you're not gonna spit in my mouth like I'm a peasant it's gonna come with some money first and see the problem
is with a lot of
these people that you're
A lot of these people get upset because they run their mouth too much, and then they say it's supposed to be greater later, but you'd be sitting there helping hand it, like the P. D. D. situation.
All y'all running your mouth with y'all using all the baby oil.
But you should have kept quieting.
You would have been laughing all the way to the bank.
So now you're walking around here oil-y and opening up like a rosebud.
So the more the story is, if you see a person who got money or a celebrity, you might get more of your shit the hell out.
Cause when you talk too much, there is no, there is no financial benefits coming, except empty hands.
It ain't good.
Ain't nothing good coming from an empty hand, except sour crowding.
You don't want to be smelling sour.
Have a great
day, everybody.
buzzbomb.
Today.
And a buzzbomb.
And it's Friday.
you saw it.
You saw the call come in and you
to go that way.
Shannon?
Don't
Huh what?
What up y'all welcome back welcome back sour to with the lunch break crew Ray nitty Maybe Shannon DJ brother Z holding us down with the production and sound On the award-winning one-on-one seven the truth live from the American family and sure studios How y'all feeling man?
How y'all feeling we talking 9-11?
We talking 9-11 today man.
It's a lot going on today in memory of So many above
Shana, you sent a picture to the chat.
This lady, y'all was called, they called Dust Lady.
Yeah.
I'm so surprised you hadn't seen that.
Like, it's such a, like, it's a historic picture.
And you probably had seen it and just thought it was, like, you know,
look so...
Yeah,
833-212-1017 is the number to dial.
833-212-1017 is the number to dial.
Do you remember where you were on 9-11?
Remember how old you were, where you were, what you were doing?
I remember vividly.
I remember vividly I was in class at Riverside.
And I didn't realize that this was a real thing.
I thought it was old footage from like the World Trade Center bombing.
That's what I thought it was.
And you know, teachers was like, no, this is something real and we need to take it serious.
So you had teachers crying, students crying, parents coming to pick up their kids.
Like you said, Shannon, people were worried that, you know, schools were going to be hit.
And if you were watching on YouTube, the picture that Zach just showed, DJ Brother Z just showed was of Marcy.
What's her last name, Shannon?
Marcy borders
28
She was 28 at the time of the attack and she was only 42 when she passed away Covered in toxic dust while surviving the trade center Collapse after 9-11 she ended up having stomach cancer from the toxic dust and I think it's
It's crazy because, you know, Mamdani is I think the first Muslim president, mayor of New York and Rudy Giuliani made some disparage and comments basically saying like, he doesn't think that he should go down there basically because he Muslim like, oh, you shouldn't be down there.
You shouldn't go down there and Rudy was the president or Jesus, the mayor.
the time of the attack and a lot of people that I saw was bringing up the toxic dust that was going on and um obviously Mamdani is very like he's a class actor like he's genuinely like he seems like he plays the good guy role very well and he didn't um attack back but he was just like no I plan on going out there and paying my respect like
They shouldn't be a time for you to be attacking like maybe a Muslim This should be a time of you know coming together and things of that nature But I did see a lot of people bring up the fact that Rudy was mayor at that time and told so many people that the dust is fine and safe to breathe and so many people in fact that even that weren't in the Twin Towers people that just were around at that time because their mayor Rudy told them that it was safe.
So
just thought that was interesting bring up as well
You probably wouldn't know we're around here breathing all that toxin.
So the 9 11 air quality scandal refers to a massive coverup where federal and New York City officials repeatedly told the public the air around ground zero was safe to breathe.
Despite knowing it was highly toxic.
Despite knowing it was highly toxic.
Similar to some things we talked about here on this show, maybe.
Yeah.
Just days after September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks the United States Environmental Protection Agency, EPA declared the air in lower Manhattan was safe.
However, the collapse of Twin Towers have pulverized thousands of tons of hazardous materials, including asbestos, lead, glass.
and concrete into a choking caustic dust cloud.
All right, the coverup led to tens of thousands of first responders, construction workers and local residents to work and live around ground zero without proper protective gear.
Decades later, more people have died from 9 11 related to illnesses like rare cancers and severe lung diseases than the number.
of people killed on the day of the attacks themselves.
Insane.
that.
And it's so unfortunate.
Like I said, you got the mayor that was the mayor at the time saying it offends him that Mamdani was going down there.
It offends me that you let these people go like the numbers of people dying of rare cancers are higher than the people actually killed in the attack.
That's insane You were willing to put they said that officials came for it was fine even though they knew it was not fine He
The Environmental Protection Agency to White House edited the EPA press releases a 2003 investigation by the EPA's Office of the Inspector General revealed that the George W. Bush administration actively pressured the EPA to lie about the air quality.
Deleting warnings.
The White House Council on Environmental Quality forced the EPA to delete cautionary statements from its draft press releases, for example, original warning about high asbestos levels were completely erased.
And that was fact-checked by the Los Angeles Times.
All right.
Adding fake reassurances, White House officials added confronting language
prompting EPA Chief Christine Todd Whitman to announce on September 18th, 2001 that the air was safe to breathe.
That was fact checked by The Guardian adding fake reassurance.
The motive, the Inspector General's report noted that the government wanted to prioritize national security and reopen in Wall Street as quickly as possible to show the world that New York was back in business.
They need to get stock market back up.
Yeah.
Plan with these people lives because they want to get the stock market back up and running.
And then, like I said, the mayor at the time of the attack has some nerve to be targeting the present mayor because he's Muslim.
You have so much to talk about.
Why don't you talk about this?
to... It's the same to me.
New York City records, secret records, right?
While the federal EPA failure has been known for years, a massive new wave of scandal erupted when New York City officials released a trove of 170,000 pages of previously hidden documents.
The newly unleashed frauds, unsealed files,
Forced out by a lawsuit from the advocacy group 9 11 health watch show that local city leaders under mayor Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg Were fully aware of the lethal dangers, but actively chose to hide them fact-checked by the New York Times We have over and over again seeing government mislead community
Mislead residents, mislead folks on the health hazards.
The environmental risk that people are living in.
Just to continue business as usual.
We talked about it here.
We talked about our own local examples.
MasterLot, Briggs and Stratton, Bostic.
I can name them every day if we want to.
But I'm only one person I can't do anything about it by myself And Like I said, that's what prompted me to run for office.
I see a lot of people I Don't even want to say complaining right but I'm gonna say voicing their opinions about elected officials On the computer loud as hell, but I don't see nobody getting active
I don't be seeing nobody saying, you know what, I'm a run.
I'm gonna organize my community.
There's some people, let me not say anything, I'm talking about the one specifically doing the complaining online.
I don't see them getting
that.
But those people, they'll always find something to complain about.
They'll always be able to pick, they'll cherry pick things that like.
I feel like they just pick at things that they know they could never even try to come up with it.
Like you ask them, okay, what's the solution?
They don't have one.
They just want to complain.
Some complainers just want to complain.
They will pick at any and everything or any and everybody that is trying to make a way.
That's just how some people are.
You can't do anything with the negative mindset like that.
Like you can't make some people happy, but those that are genuinely trying like salute to them because it takes a whole lot to really
really try and go up against some of these powers that be, you know?
But we don't want to go to break.
We'll be right back after these messages.
If you have questions, comics, and science, 833-212-1017 is the number to dial.
833-212-1017, we'll be right back.
up y'all welcome back to the award-winning 101 7 the truth live from the American family and sharing studios This is the lunch break.
Yes.
It's lunch time with the lunch break crew Ray nitty Maybe Shannon DJ brother Z holding us down with the production and sound.
I know that song Shannon.
What song is that?
It's a different beat on it, but it's um
Is it called Texas?
I think it's called Texas.
It's called Choosing Texas.
Choosing Texas.
It's a country song and it's like, it's top 100 right now, I would say.
It's super popular right now.
It's one week away from beating Mariah Carey for like number one or whatever or being on the chart.
It's a good song.
It's
I think it's making, I feel like right now country music is really making a strong comeback because of Black culture, I will say.
I think they're, seriously, like it's like a, no, it's a sub genre though called like...
trap country, that's what they call it because it has like more of those trap beats and it's more like, if you even see the country stars now, now they starting to wear their little chains and they hat to the back and you know, that's where the country started, you know, that's where it started, you know, that's where it started, you know, that's where it started, you know, that's where it started, you know,
where it
know, that
They toured with me a lot when we was hitting like Mississippi, Virginia and a lot of those places.
So C&M grow into their own individual artists.
He been doing a lot of dope country slaps, too, on the low.
Maybe we get this.
We're going to get this music stuff popping here.
Stay tuned.
Stay tuned, y'all.
Stay in focus, right?
Stay in focus.
We just talked about.
The health neglect, because of 9-11, right?
The widespread contamination, discouraging, respirators, hidden legal liability, all of these things, the fresh controversy that was going on surrounding it, right?
Internal city files revealed that inspectors found asbestos nearly everywhere.
They tested.
around, hold on, all stuff just moved, what is it?
They tested around a site along where severe lead contamination inside government headquarters.
The discouraging respirators was city leaders deliberately downplayed the risk and discouraged first responders from wearing heavy respirators because they wanted to maintain a public appearance of normalcy.
That's crazy.
That's
crazy.
Cause they
One crashed outside the Pentagon, right?
Yup.
Hidden legal liability, an infamous internal document known as
The Harding Memo shows that city lawyers were privately scheming about how to avoid massive health related lawsuits from citizens, even while publicly telling people it was safe to return to their to their Ashefield homes.
All right.
So the toxics fall out.
Because officials lulled New Yorkers into a false sense of security, thousands of people.
cleaned up toxic dust with standard kitchen mops and rags instead of hiring license has math teams.
Today, the World Trade Center Health Program monitors more than 140,000 responders and survivors.
Over 49,000 of them have been diagnosed with physical cancers, chronic respiratory illness and permanent lung damage directly linked to the toxic air they were told was safe.
So if we take a look deeper into this ongoing scandal,
You can read the comprehensive breakdown on BBC News or check out the historical reporting from the Center for Public Integrity for those asking more information about it.
A lot changed after 9-11, Shannon.
A lot did change.
You do know, like they said, like honestly, like I hadn't traveled on an airplane pre-9-11.
So I didn't know how different.
it was.
Like you didn't, it wasn't even TSA, I heard.
would just be like, I love this little catch of flight today, like a train station or something.
this flight.
Yup, airport security was handled by private companies with minimal screening.
And intelligence agencies rarely shared information.
This was all before 9 11.
All right, no TSA, no Department of Homeland Security.
So to prevent another attack, the US government underwent its largest reorganization since World War Two, passes sweeping laws that permanently change how Americans travel, how law enforcement tracks data and how to count how the country defends its borders.
All right No TSA no security none of that I remember you used to be able to walk your folks all the way up to the gate you could even sit on the The the terminal waiting for the plane for them They did bring that back though.
Yeah, you gotta sign up for Precheck though, you could go if you're signed up for precheck
But that's even a little money.
So I Just feel like I don't feel like as long as these lines are right We already know these lines are super hectic and super long and now we don't have a bunch of people that just want to sit at the terminal man
Make me so mad seeing a bunch of people that don't even have bags.
They just stand in there because they
unless it's like when you have an unaccompeting minor, that makes
fine.
Walk straight to the plane.
Cool.
Other stuff.
No.
elderly.
Right.
Where it makes sense.
But like you said, now people want so much money.
That's what is boiling down.
So I think like, oh, how else can we make money?
Don't inconvenience me because I'm trying to make a little check.
So the creation of the TSA and airport security changes before 2001 airport security.
was notoriously relaxed.
Private security guards walk passengers through basic metal detectors and family members could walk all the way up to the gate to wave goodbye.
The Aviation and Transportation Security Act changed everything.
The TSA was born.
The Transportation Security Administration took over all airport screening, turned the security workers into federal law enforcement officers.
Rigid new rules.
Cockpit doors were reinforced with bulletproof steel to prevent hijacking.
Regular citizens were banned from walking past security gates without a ticket.
Physical screening exploits.
Over the years, new threats led to new rules.
The shoe bomber attempt led to passengers removing their shoes.
Liquid explosive plots led to the strict 3.4 ounce liquid limit.
Later advanced full body scanner replaced basic metal detectors The Department of Homeland Security Shannon before 9-11 dozen the government agencies operated independently often failing to share crucial information in 2002 Congress Congress passed the Homeland Security Act merging 22 separate federal agencies into one massive cabinet Department the Department of Homeland Security the
Organization pulled together several major agencies you see today.
Customs and borders protection, formed tightly secure, formed to tightly secure the nation's borders and official ports of entry and migrations and customs enforcement.
That is ICE, created to enforce immigration and federal customs laws inside the country.
The Secret Service and Coast Guard.
Moved under the DHS umbrella to coordinate domestic protection and maritime safety FEMA the federal Emergency Management Agency was integrated to handle national disaster and crisis response Man a lot changed Shannon.
It's a lot more to change to The Patriot Act and mass surveillance where a lot of this stuff is happening right now
the mass data collection.
Like it's a lot, man.
It's a lot, Shannon.
And I wasn't even I didn't even think.
To like really sit back and realize how much changed after 9 11.
Oh, yeah.
I didn't even
hear like certain things about what it was before.
It just blows my mind.
Like this is.
Interesting.
just because I don't know a life before, like a life of travel before 9-11, you know what I mean?
So it's just like, interesting to hear how lax the rules were.
gate, snacks.
You
through.
Peanut butter cookies
You are funny, dude.
But a lot has changed.
A lot has changed, man.
A lot has changed.
This is a sad day of remembrance for our country.
So we will always keep those folks in our prayers.
Like we said, the first responders.
Everybody who lost a life sacrificed a life.
From the actual plane crash and those who were misled to believe that the air was safe for them to go in and breathe.
All those folks impacted by that and it's probably still suffering from some form of sickness or cancer.
or it's like, did the government pay like their bills or anything like that?
Like, well, that's
crazy question.
You know how our government get down?
I'm not 100% sure.
If they did, it was probably some small long class action lawsuit, probably, probably nowhere near significant enough.
I also saw that there was some legislation really recently passed
that was stating that the government is not liable to tell you if they're doing something to endanger you or something like that.
If I'm not mistaken.
When we come back, we're going to look into that, Shannon.
833-212-1017 is the number to dial.
Where were you on 9-11?
Don't go anywhere, y'all.
When we come back, we'll get back into the conversation.
We had a sense back then that we were at a transformative moment.
And we were.
Immediately, your next breath was like sucking in a cup full of sand and you just say to yourself, this is how it ends.
Like the skies had rained fire and who
knows what could come next.
25 years later, the current generation lives in a world that was created by 9-11.
My father was working at the Pentagon on September 11th.
I just turned four.
My dad was the co-pilot on Flight 93.
I was ten months old.
I was five years old when 9-11 happened.
I wanted to serve my country.
I was three years old.
We got attacked and they killed a bunch of our people.
Obviously we should bring some justice to those that
did it.
If you start to scratch at almost any aspect of our daily lives in the United States today, I can show you how 9-11 changed that part of our
We went to Afghanistan because of a horrific attack that happened 20 years ago.
It's time for American troops to come home.
Abigail was a microcosm of the 20-plus year war in the Middle East.
We underestimated how quickly that the Taliban would regain control, and we thought that we would have time to get everybody out.
That was obviously not the case.
We got hit.
I've kind of come to the realization this is where I die.
My thoughts were, what the hell have we been doing for 20 years?
Terrorism is a word that you will never understand in any visceral way until you experience it.
The irony is the existential threat to American freedom came not from these terrorists in Afghanistan, but from our nation's response to terrorism.
The generation that is just coming of age now just know a different America.
Welcome back.
Welcome back.
Welcome back to the award winning one on one, seven of truth.
Man.
Live from the American Family and Sheriff's Studios.
It's 9-11 day, y'all.
We remember in the folks.
We remember in the folks, man.
Yeah, so I had made a statement about all that thing about the government not being.
able.
So what that was about is after I looked into it, it is on folks misinterpreting on the surveillance extension of FISA section 720.
So what it was is the law allows US intelligence agencies to collect digital communications, emails, texts, phone records.
and more of foreigners overseas with a warrant.
The controversy was the law contains loopholes that allow agencies like the FBI to sweep up and look through the private data of regular American citizens without a warrant.
if they are communicating with someone overseas.
Civil liability groups and ACLU strongly fought against this expansion because it increases government secrecy regarding digital spying.
Critics argue this harms the community's right to privacy, which online rumors may have wrapped into harming the community physically.
So just so folks, you know.
are updated on what we was talking about.
It's
just so many layers to 9-11 and I know we did bring up the compensation.
I guess there were kind of funds relating to 9-11 and things like that.
That didn't even happen until 2011.
What, nine years after 9-11?
Like, those people were sick and dying and pied into the nail to be compensated after.
Insane.
Like, yeah.
It's just, it's super disheartening.
I know one of the comments somebody asked if we think it was... What did they say?
Do we think it was orchestrated or something like that?
Which.
Hear
out.
a
just say,
What they, what people are saying is it was for the Poppy Fields.
If our folks are not familiar with what Poppy Fields are, it is essentially what makes
opioids and heroin and stuff like that, right?
Big opioid crisis, poppy flowers and stuff like that.
And they said America needed that.
So we had to go get that.
All right.
So we went and got it because of big pharma.
The pharmaceuticals needed the.
feels and the means to produce opioids.
Hence, years later down the line, we have an opioid crisis.
I don't know.
I'm just saying, do the dots connect?
I don't know.
I'm just putting them on the paper.
And if they make a picture, so be it.
But I am just laying the dots on the paper.
It is up to us to connect them if they don't connect.
OK, they don't connect.
But I just had to mention this, Shannon.
I mean, like you said, our government does have a history of setting the stage for things to kind of, what do they say, dominoes to fall as they may, like they definitely have a background of doing so.
And then like, I think it was last night I ran into a story about a man named John O'Neill.
If you don't know who he was, he was a top counter-terrorism expert and a special agent in charge for the FBI.
He spent the,
from the 90s to the early 2000s, obsessed with Olyden and Al-Qaeda.
And he kept raising the alarm and saying, hey, this is going to happen.
We need to do something about it.
And he was basically ignored.
He ended up quitting in 2001.
He had only worked at the World Trade Center for weeks before the attack happened, and he died in an attack.
He would he quit because he was frustrated with being ignored about these the terroristic things that he thought was gonna happen It ended up dying in the attack just after a few weeks of being on the job So it's just scary to think like how many rail flags were ignored and that does make me think like
don't know
but Either way
Yep.
It has forever changed because of it
And you better believe a lot of people profited from it.
Our cousins in the chat when they kicking it out.
La Ron Taylor said, La Ron Tay.
La Ron Taylor said the thing about conspiracy theory people is they never answer your questions.
They answer a question with a question.
They have no factual data or evidence.
That's why it's a conspiracy theory.
But isn't it odd how most conspiracy theories that we know of from like the early 2000s have
confirmed to not be very like most of the conspiracy theories
true.
It turned out to be true.
Even with the Epstein files, people like there's no way this is happening.
There's no way people are doing this.
We're gonna get a whole aisle.
You can't do that.
And it was true even when it relates to like
things that happen to black Americans throughout history.
They not kidnap y'all and doing tests on y'all.
government went, oopsie, they
vote.
They do y'all free crack.
Nobody's putting crack in y'all communities.
What do you know?
Right.
So it's like a lot of things that relate to conspiracy theories end up being true.
And like some things are so outlandish that we would, the regular human mind would hope nobody's doing this.
you would hope, but we've been proven time and time again that people do strange things when it comes to power and money.
Yep, somebody said, what about the businessman that bought the towers unexpectedly for a loss that made billions on the insurance claim after the attacks?
I'm not even familiar with that part of the story.
Oh yeah, you gotta tap in.
Oh, so maybe we look into that.
I'm on the extended version of the lunch break, man.
Don't go anywhere, y'all.
When we come back, we will be talking about some things we didn't get to talk about, right?
We're going to talk about, damn it.
We're going to talk about AI, Anthropic.
Anthropic says AI could kill all humans in 10 years.
Exactly.
We're going to talk about that and then we're going to re
Visit the WeEnergies rate case, y'all.
Don't go anywhere.
Shannon, take us home.
Man, thank you for rocking with us on the lunch break.
Make sure you guys head over to Facebook and follow us, Cousins.
That's where we hang out after the chat.
Don't go anywhere.
We have the great lineup next with Ray Nitty at Ray Nitty R-A-Y-N-I-T-T-I.
Follow him there across all platforms, and myself, maybe Shannon, M-A-Y-B-E-S-H-A, in and on.
Bye.
We out.
of the hosts and guests of this program are of their own and not a reflection of Milwaukee Black Media or 1017 the truth.
Good afternoon Milwaukee you're tuned in to the lunch break on 101 7 the truth where everything is an option on the menu
and one thing about me I'm a tough cookie, but I know what I can't do and I'm not I'm not
I wasn't doing it.
So I was like, I'm not paying $1,000 to sleep on somebody couch.
Grab your lunch, hit send on that email, and get ready for the best hour of your day.
My way of
thinking
is that the parents do all they can.
But once the kids leave off that door, whatever have you, they make their own decisions.
I don't care if you 9 or 99.
It's still your decision about the situations that you didn't bother yourself in.
Look into their taxes.
Look into this.
We talking about elected officials doing backdoor deals and somehow she still wanna blame immigrants.
That's what we talking about right now.
We following the money and you still wanna blame black people and immigrants and welfare and all of these things for policies and backdoor deals that put poor people in worse position.
Live from the American Family Insurance Studio at the Third Street Market Hall.
Like you said, they want to pat their pockets, but they need a reason to push things through.
And I guess the low-hanging fruit is, OK, well, this is a problem, right?
Y'all want to fix the problem, and they just hope nobody looks into it like, wait, when did food trucks
become an issue?
Here are your hosts, Ray Nitty and maybe
What up?

That's where they hang out at, you know what I'm saying?
That's what we do all
around here.
And make sure you guys give us a call.
We want to hear from you this Friday.
Let's hear from our cousins this Friday, man.
up.
out.
So today on the menu, Shannon, obviously we said we're gonna talk about
September 11th, where were we?
How old we were when that actually took place.
But before that, in the next segment, we will have Josh Glessing.
I hope I ain't messing his name up.
Josh Glessing, president.
of the Milwaukee Bucks and Pfizer Forum joining us live, man, new president of the Milwaukee Bucks and Pfizer Forum.
So, you know, we're super excited about that conversation, Shannon.
We got a ton of questions straight as the Bucks enter a new era.
Man, how do you think we're going to do this year, Shannon?
I think we're going to do great that you know.
Yeah.
Sports.
Oh, sport.
I think we're going to do all right.
I got to see it.
I got to see it.
We're going to talk to Josh and see what he got for us today.
Also on the menu, Shannon, today, we want to, you know, just highlight, not even highlight, right?
But talk about this gun violence in the city as yet again, another 12 year old was shot, right?
Last night.
on 92nd Street and Custer Avenue.
Sounds like the kid is going to be okay, right?
But it's too many times now we keep hearing the same story.
We keep having hearing the same story, so we have to not just have conversation, not just have conversation about it, but what are we actually going to do about it, right?
Because it can't be the same conversation over and over and over again.
Now, Shannon, did you hear about the anthropic researcher who quit?
Anthropic.
What'd I say?
Anthropic.
I'm from the islands.
That's how we say it.
Tropic, untropic.
We say tree.
Hey, I'm just saying, that's how we the talk is at Thomas.
So I told y'all, sometimes the Caribbean, there you go.
You feel me?
That's sometimes they come out.
Anthropic for my American folks.
Researchers say AI could kill all humans within a decade.
So I'm like, what the hell does that mean?
And I definitely would like to get into what they're talking about with that.
And then yesterday, Shannon, man, he extended lunch.
You didn't stick around.
You was pretty full.
So, you know, you had to go work out that meal that we had.
You know, she had to go, you know, digest.
But
oh, is it never my house?
Is it in the bathroom?
So
You feel what I'm saying?
She has to go do some heavy work.
So we talked about something that was interesting, right?
Yesterday, we had an interview with some folks and they were talking about the We Energy's rate case and what was, you know, unethical about it and what can be kept.
They even talked about some examples.
that folks are that is happening right now in Illinois, ironically, and the company in Illinois is owned by none other than we yet.
So it's interesting that they have practices for our neighbors and, you know, just continuously raising it on us over here.
So I wanted to, you know, just bring that back to the conversation here.
with our lunch break listeners that probably didn't get to stick around for the extended lunch.
And then, you know, we got to end with... You feel me?
It was interesting.
It was interesting.
I'm trying to find the paper that we had in here, but I know I'll be cleaning up.
But, yeah, man.
So that's the menu today, Shannon.
Do you remember where you were for 9-11?
Dude, I do I was literally in third grade.
Um, but it was obviously a memorable um day for everybody Yeah, I think what what stands out to me as an adult though like now like they straight up like just turn the TV on and like we all like Really young watching that and like I know most people will remember like the like graphic
scene of like the Twin Towers burning down and people were like jumping out the windows like it was horrific like my substitute teacher was crying it was super like you know as a third grader you're not processing things correctly and like the teacher obviously wasn't very good at explaining something traumatic happening in real time yeah it was it was a
Unfortunate day, and I think like everybody was just like
I
want to go home to my mom like people we were like They don't come and they don't get Congress elementary next like
I was at Riverside University.
It was like my junior year senior year if I'm not mistaken
And, you know, I was, I was always, it was the first class of the day.
So, and, you know, I'm like, they have the, you know, they used to roll the TV out back then when I was in high school and used to come out on the cart.
So, you know, I assumed like it was a free day.
I was always goofing around in class.
So I came in like thinking it was like the.
something from the past.
Remember when they had like the, cause if I'm not mistaken, this wasn't the first, that wasn't the first time they tried to do something to the towers, if I'm not mistaken, or something else had happened.
And I was assuming that it was some old stuff that was happening.
So I'm coming in class making jokes.
And I remember Mr. Kuzma vividly saying like, everything is in a joke, Mr. Boynes.
And I was like, what's wrong with folks?
Oh, true.
And then he was like, this is currently happening.
And I was like, oh, dang.
And I didn't understand that this was currently happening at the time.
So I remember vividly, man, where I was.
And, you know, it was just like a somber day in school for that whole day.
But one thing my mama was not doing was coming to pick me up from school.
She was like, I'm at work.
You are staying at school.
But.
I was like, man, they ain't coming to get us.
I'm like, man, listen, I was, I was scared, but you know, these days built a little different because we knew we wasn't coming.
We wouldn't get picked up.
They moms definitely was not coming to pick me up, but condolences and our memories goes out to all of the victims and the first responders.
that lost their life, sacrificed, or helped out trying to save folks that day on this tragic day in our country's history.
When we come back, when we come back, we will have an interview with the new president of the Milwaukee Bucks at Pfizer Forum, Josh.
Glessing, I hope I'm saying his name, right?
And we gonna get into this new Bucks era, y'all.
Don't go anywhere.
You are listening to the Lunch Break on the award-winning 1017, The Truth.
Ray Needy,
DJ Brother Z. DJ Brother Z.
to the
Man, I'm feeling great.
I'm super excited about this conversation, for sure.
Listeners, if you are just joining us, 833-212-1017 is the number to dial and join the conversation.
We have welcoming, welcoming Josh Glesing, president of the Milwaukee Bucks and Pfizer Forum as he enters his first season lead in the organization.
Welcome, man.
How are you feeling?
How are you feeling today?
Good to be here.
Thanks for having me.
Excited for the season.
Optional training camp started this week.
Got the guys back, getting excited.
Okay.
When I was two, I moved to Racine, grew up in Racine.
For the Racine listeners, I
to, to Knapp McKinley in Park High School.
I'm actually going to bring my eight year old daughter.
We're going to go tonight to Park is playing Horlick.
Barcy football.
So we're going to go down to Racine tonight.
My mom is still in Racine.
My brother's here in Milwaukee.
My sister's in Kenosha.
My in-laws are in La Crosse, Wisconsin's home.
Super excited for you.
Ben Jammin is from Racine as well.
So I know he's super excited about this interview, man.
Me and Shannon got a few questions for you.
I know you got a busy day trying to get us back to that championship DNA.
So I'll start off with this question.
As you enter your first season as president, what does this new era of Bucks basketball look like?
And what is your biggest goals?
Listen, I'll start with the end.
The goal is the same as the goal has always been to put the product together that competes on the court for championships.
Period.
That hasn't changed.
The path to
doing
it maybe looks a little bit different than it's looked over the last decade plus.
But I'd say the first big piece is Taylor Jenkins, new head coach.
We went out and got the best guy available.
We were really aggressive in getting him.
He was excited about what we've done here, excited about what we want to do.
And then we build from there.
Obviously everyone knows that the Yanis trade was transformational for the organization.
We're so grateful for everything that Yanis did, for the box did in the community.
But we were able to get some really good pieces back.
We
got a draft pick that's going to be on court this year.
Two great draft picks.
They look good.
We got some great
young ball players.
And then we got some real assets back in the form of young blue chip ball players.
Tyler Hero,
obviously another Wisconsin kid.
Klell Ware, Jaime Haca, real ball players with a lot of upside.
And then we hope that some of the other guys can take that next step.
Miles Turner can coach on Lockham to make.
to make him into what we know he has been in the past and he can be.
So it
looks a little bit different.
It's going to be a different style of basketball.
But we're excited about the pieces coming together.
For sure.
So you've expressed the goal of making the Bugs the most accessible team in sports.
So what does that mean for the fans?
Yeah, it means I would say this year it means a couple of things.
One, for the first time in 30 years, every single Milwaukee Bucks game is going to be free at every house in the state of Wisconsin.
On my 24, we did a great partnership with RINCon.
And I think there's been a lot out there as to what happened with FanDuel and what happened with the RSN model.
And this was an opportunity and may not be forever, but for us to do something really cool, us to bring the Bucks into every home in the state of Wisconsin.
So that's one.
The broadcast
of
Milwaukee Bucks games is more accessible than it's ever been before.
And then two, we put a lot of thought behind putting together tickets and packages that are accessible.
And I would say that means two things.
One, make it family friendly.
So we've got 16 games this season that are on the weekends.
One of the most fun things that we did in the off season, a lot of people don't know how the sausage is made, but we get a draft version of the schedule a few days before it gets out.
comment.
And a lot of the comments
gonna be like, this is a brutal road trip.
You can't make us play back to backs in these cities.
But one of the most fun things is, you know, Taylor Jenkins, John Horst and myself, you know, as we looked at it, we all have young kids.
Yeah.
We're all thinking about it from the same lens.
It's hard to get my kids to a Bucks game on a Tuesday night at 830.
Yeah.
On a
Sunday at four.
Saturday on
a Friday.
Yeah.
That's a lot different.
So for us, as we think about our families, you know, game
sense.
And then, you know, we've got, we've got season ticket packages, 10, 10 Bucks games.
$150 a ticket that's $15 a ticket.
So we're trying to put things together that allows people to get into the building to get access on TV We've said it before I've said it before you know, we think we're the most successful team in the NBA this season Got
it So the books is returning to TV on my 24 like you mentioned the first time in 31 years How important is that expanded access for the fans?
I think it means two things.
One, it makes our existing fans put some of the position to access the bucks maybe easier than ever before.
But more importantly, it allows us to continue to
grow
the fan base, not just in southeastern Wisconsin, but around the state.
So
making it
easier for people to find the Milwaukee Bucks to access the Milwaukee Bucks for us to grow that fandom.
And that's exciting for us.
Long term is obviously we're in the business of developing fans, but you think about those people in northern Wisconsin, in western Wisconsin growing their fan affinity.
Those people are going to come to Milwaukee and they're going to spend the night and they're going to spend dollars at hotels and they're going to spend dollars at local restaurants and local businesses.
So it could also be an economic engine, maybe
not
in the very, very near term.
But as we grow the fan base long term, it's incredibly important for Milwaukee to have an economic impact on the city, on the region.
For sure.
So how will the bugs continue to prioritize and invest in Milwaukee and the communities throughout Wisconsin?
Yeah, it's important.
You know, the good thing for me is I'm like I said, I'm from here.
My family's here.
Showing up, not just in Racine where I grew up, but showing up in southeastern Wisconsin is important to me personally.
It's important to John.
Horseperson is important to Taylor Jenkins.
Personally, it's important to our young players.
We'd know how important it is to show up and be present in the community and I think the organization long before me was Had gotten really good at that and we're gonna continue to be hyper hyper focused on on showing up on being present and being accessible
But we know that the platform that we have and the impact that we can make with young kids and the community, with others in the community, is important.
So we're going to continue to show up.
We're going to show up through the foundation.
We're going to show
up
through the Deer Accelerator, through our community engagement initiatives,
through
player initiatives.
But we know it's important.
The city and the region has given so much to the Milwaukee Bucks.
And it's incumbent on us to give back.
And like I said, this region has given so much to me personally that I feel an obligation to leverage the platform to give back.
Can you play Power Forward for the Milwaukee Bucks this season?
The
good.
The pay
I'll take it, but I don't know if you all let me on that court.
They wouldn't even let me in the practice facility.
We was talking baseball a little different, but.
The city of Milwaukee, right?
And the previous ownership invested so much in the downtown, the Pfizer form area, that economical boost that you talk about, right?
And we talk about it on this program a lot.
And yes, we are extremely thankful for what Giannis brought to the city, right?
He was our hugest draw for ticket sales.
How do you...
Go about saying hey, this is how we're gonna make sure we keep in our ticket sales up or knowing that they may be a decrease But how do we say we're working our way back to making sure we're still generating?
Revenue for the city of Milwaukee,
so I'll answer that question.
I'll answer somewhat different question admittedly I thought you were going we think about the Milwaukee bucks so easy to call the Milwaukee bucks a basketball story a story think about the land that
that the trade sits on, that the new multi-family project sits on, that FISER sits on.
That land was available for purchase for decades for $1.
Someone could bring a plan on how to develop it, and no one could figure it out.
And then we put FISER form there.
The trade hotel opens up.
The first phase of multi-family opens up.
We just break ground last month on another hotel.
The Live Nation music venue opens up.
270 affordable housing units broke ground on a few months ago a new gym all of the commercial development and all of the the bars and restaurants that are there in the due district that doesn't happen but for the walking box and
five serves so for
us it's so much bigger the concerts that come here that we're never going to Bradley Center and the people that come with those concerts and they spend their money locally and the taxes that that generates that go back in the community so we think about the bucks is so much more than a basketball team on the court
think about it as an economic engine.
Absolutely.
To development and to make an impact.
You know, talking about the multi-family affordable housing units.
Multi-family is a problem everywhere in the country.
Absolutely.
Everywhere in the country there's a shortage in housing.
So we'll be able to leverage our platform to deliver additional units.
It's something that we're incredibly proud of.
So that's the, and then taking it back from there, the NBA is the most global sport.
in the world.
The Packers are a behemoth.
I don't want to take anything away from them.
The Brewers, what they do in the community is fantastic.
They're playing great baseball right now.
Outside of America, most people are pretty indifferent to Major League Baseball.
If we're going to shine a light on Milwaukee globally, it's going to be through the Milwaukee Box.
In 2021,
when everyone was
tuned into the NBA Finals, a lot of those people have never heard of Milwaukee before.
Just be really honest.
not.
But
they
tuned in
and
they saw the Deer District and
they saw the
you know, everything that the Milwaukee Bucks were.
So for us to be able to leverage that to shine a light on Milwaukee is so incredibly important to us.
As it relates to in bowl, as it relates to selling tickets, you know, we're gonna, Jimmy Haslam, one of our two controlling owners has said this publicly recently.
If we go back towards the end of last year, it wasn't the most entertaining brand of basketball.
If we know that, we're not particularly proud of that,
but what we're going to do this year is I guarantee you.
We're going to entertain.
Yeah.
Taylor Jenkins is going to entertain.
What Taylor likes to do with guards is entertaining.
We're rethinking what the overall fan journey and experience looks like because the basketball and the new building by itself was
so
compelling for such a long time.
We're saying, OK, what
if
we revisit
this?
How are we
entertaining people?
We want to give them great basketball.
We're building back to great, great basketball.
But we also want to be in the business of entertaining.
So we're rethinking that, too.
There's a lot of people who just want to be entertained.
There's some people who want to watch really compelling technical basketball and some people who want to be entertained.
We've got to take care of both of
Well, Josh, I know you have a busy day, man.
We thank you.
Thank you for your time, man.
We wish you much success.
We are truly excited for this new buck season.
I'm ready to see what Tyler Hero does.
I know he's a walking bucky, so we're going to get a lot of Milwaukee fans in the seats, man.
Anything you want to share with the fans before we go to break?
Now, the only thing I'll say, you know, for me and my family, you know, we've been welcomed back so well.
And one of the fun things about this job is everyone's cheering for me.
Everyone is cheering for me and for the team to be successful.
And that's
really, really fun.
And when we do things that the fans don't like, you're more than welcome to tell me, but don't worry.
My brother, my mother, my sister, they
make it very clear what they do and don't like the decisions that the game play.
My mom's pretty smart on the game of basketball, she's got
lots of questions about
it.
anywhere.
What up y'all what up what up what up welcome back welcome back To your favorite two hours of the day it is lunchtime on the award winning one on one seven the truth This is the lunch break crew Ray nitty maybe Shannon DJ brother Z holding us down on the production that sound official bucks DJ DJ brother Z
Well, I mean, I ain't the official one, Sean is.
I mean, I'd be on the concourse.
You are an official Bucks DJ, my boy.
You get a check from him.
Now, that is facts.
All right.
I ain't say the team DJ.
I ain't say I said official.
I'm on the team.
All right.
You feel me?
I'm on the team.
Come on now.
We got to bring the
energy back
Let's
take a look at my boss you got it
Oh man
We are definitely looking forward to this season, Tyler, hero, all the new talent that's coming in there.
So I'm excited to see what we do, man.
I'm excited to see what we do.
He said we're going to have a new style of basketball.
I'm excited to see what that style looked like.
I'm excited to see it, Shannon.
Also, it was interesting to hear his hear him talk about the importance of the economical impact.
of the bucks and not just looking at it as essentially a basketball team, right?
But it is definitely something that drives economy.
Downtown Milwaukee, but expanding beyond downtown because of all of the taxes generated and so forth.
So.
I'm interested, man.
I'm very interested.
I am very, very interested.
I'd love to know the numbers.
what it looks like this year.
What's the revenue coming in versus when we had Yanis?
Obviously, we're probably anticipating somewhat of a downward tick, but that's to be expected, right?
But hopefully, we could grow this up as a community.
And I would like to see them build more community partnerships.
as it comes to the safety efforts as well.
I think that would be super, super dope because as people keep talking about all the violence downtown and this and that, we have to take it serious, right?
And we have to understand that this could be a driving factor on why people may not want to come downtown.
So forming these great partnerships right now and being able to proactively.
Get ahead of it.
I think it would do great for the city for the dear district all the businesses in the area.
I don't think nobody else fails when we do violence interruption when we invest in violence interruption, so Yeah, man, Shannon, how you feeling?
How you
feeling?
Like I said, I think that was a great interview.
And it was, it was good to hear like the plans that they have for the Bucs.
I'm super excited for this season, even though I'm not like, you know, sporty, I love a good event.
Don't get me wrong.
I love it.
I love it.
People
reside now.
Oh,
should
be, it should be.
section.
Notice what
it a box or a court
room If I was like I like die hard sports fan, I'd be like give me whatever you got but
Listen, I'm there for the experience.
You know what I mean?
out.
out.
Like the floor.
You all know what I'm talking about.
Yeah,
relax.
Everything else.
Thank you.
you say?
long
need to
I'm excited for the buck season
Because we never know, right?
This is new.
This is new.
We got to see how this team plays together.
We did get a lot of dope young pieces.
And these young boys been entering the league, really getting to it.
So it's going to be interesting to see what this new generation of bucks look like.
And who's really committed to the city and the team?
And that's the other thing, too, because.
My main concern is and this isn't a Milwaukee Bucks problem.
OK, I don't know if the Bucks is responsible for this, but I don't know if we do enough as a city to attract or retain star power.
You know, a lot of times you hear athletes, it's a couple athletes that say, man, I love Milwaukee.
You know what I'm saying?
Carmelo Anthony.
You know, you even hear Mace talking real highly about Milwaukee Juvenile.
You know, people, they say Milwaukee's a gem, a place they love to be.
But, you know, you still have
your.
short.
You told me he was like, I love him.
You know where we was that low key and how do you know?
this night sounds like a fever dream, but we were at like it so
There's a club on the strip where like very rich people can rent out a separate area to party J Cole was there to shirt was there a basketball player was there But what
basketball
player
What
team He's very well, I think he just retired actually but a lot of people were there and to sure was there and they were going to another spot He was like
We gonna have to pull it up But yeah, man, we need uh You know, it's it's always good when you get players that genuinely love the city and want to be in the city and play for the city and I think that was one of the biggest things we lost with Yanis was his genuine love for the city and I think it was smart getting somebody like Tyler hero who's from Wisconsin
But he has strong Milwaukee roots in the basketball community will will say it like that.
And Milwaukee community and the basketball community got a lot of love for Tyler hero.
So I think that is a smart move for ticket sales and so forth.
But yeah, man, it doesn't help when you got folks like a LeBron James talking about who wants to get who wants to play in Milwaukee on the weekend or something like that in the cold.
I'm like, fool, you from Cleveland.
Calm down.
Chill
out.
together.
walk, walk, walk, half bad.
All right.
Milwaukee is a gem in this country.
I'm telling you, Milwaukee is a gem in this country and we take it for granted.
We take it for granted what we have here in the city our proximity to fresh water that alone I Don't think people realize how much that alone Sets us apart from the rest of the country Being able to be close to fresh water Shannon That's huge.
I don't think people understand how important that is but Anyway, that alone sets
Milwaukee up like when you think of the country, if everything goes to crap right now.
We already talked about them privatizing water and all of these other things.
What would.
Lake Michigan is only a few of us around the Lake Michigan.
And it ain't too many other fresh bodies of water in this country.
I'm just saying, Shannon, and we experience all the seasons.
As much as I dislike winter
And it's actually beautiful to like experience that I do miss seeing all the seasons like like you said I don't I don't miss shoveling and all the things But it's actually to experience every single season and we do have a lot going on people just when you when you I Guess when you're in it, you don't appreciate
till it's
on.

I think it's just like when the what is it called the Republicans took woke and turn it into something that like, oh, you're so woke.
Everybody's woke now.

It all relates to being like a Karen.
I think that's, you know, what people are trying to do with feminism.
And it's like

You don't have to be,

just look, the same thing that happened with the N word.
We had that conversation.
It felt like it felt like it was just random and not real because it was so random.
But I do feel like you've been to Vegas.
Like crazy stuff happens all the time.
like working on the strip, being in

My wife did all

It's not me.
It's my wife.
My wife is who loves this.
She like I would so my wife is who upgraded us for the on flight to Poland.
But thank God she did because she was doing them people dirty back there.
But that's that's how I would have been living if it was just up to me.

of the hosts and guests of this program are of their own and not a reflection of Milwaukee Black Media or 1017 the truth.
Good afternoon Milwaukee you're tuned in to the lunch break on 101 7 the truth where everything is an option on the menu
and one thing about me I'm a tough cookie, but I know what I can't do and I'm not I'm not
I wasn't doing it.
So I was like, I'm not paying $1,000 to sleep on somebody couch.
Grab your lunch, hit send on that email, and get ready for the best hour of your day.
My way of
thinking
is that the parents do all they can.
But once the kids leave off that door, whatever have you, they make their own decisions.
I don't care if you 9 or 99.
It's still your decision about the situations that you didn't bother yourself in.
Look into their taxes.
Look into this.
We talking about elected officials doing backdoor deals and somehow she still wanna blame immigrants.
That's what we talking about right now.
We following the money and you still wanna blame black people and immigrants and welfare and all of these things for policies and backdoor deals that put poor people in worse position.
Live from the American Family Insurance Studio at the Third Street Market Hall.
Like you said, they want to pat their pockets, but they need a reason to push things through.
And I guess the low-hanging fruit is, OK, well, this is a problem, right?
Y'all want to fix the problem, and they just hope nobody looks into it like, wait, when did food trucks
become an issue?
Here are your hosts, Ray Nitty and maybe
What up?
What up?

Rest in peace to everybody who lost their lives on this day.
We going to talk about that today, Shannon.
We going to talk about that today.
833-212-1017 is the number to dial.
833-212-1017 is the number to dial.
Shannon, how you feeling?
Shannon, how you feeling?
Man, I'm feeling all right.
It's Friday, I mean, September 11th, but it's still, you know what I mean?
It's a day of remembrance and, you know.
And it's a couple of people I care about birthday today as well.
Shout out to my sister.
Geet there, happy birthday, and then shout out to homie Jared as well.
Happy birthday to him as well, man.
Man, shout out to other people on where they could find us, man.
Shout out to them where they could find us today.
Yeah, so you can always go over to Facebook and follow the lunch break on Facebook.
Make sure you like, subscribe, interact with the cousins on Facebook.
You can also follow your host at Ray Nitty, R-A-Y-N-I-T-T-I.
across all platforms, and then you can also follow myself.
I'm Mavie Shannon across all platforms.
I'm A-Y-B-E-S-H-A-N-N-O-N.
You can also go over to YouTube, watch us live, and in the studio, hang out with our cousins in the chat.
That's where they hang out at, you know what I'm saying?
That's what we do all
around here.
And make sure you guys give us a call.
We want to hear from you this Friday.
Let's hear from our cousins this Friday, man.
up.
out.
So today on the menu, Shannon, obviously we said we're gonna talk about
September 11th, where were we?
How old we were when that actually took place.
But before that, in the next segment, we will have Josh Glessing.
I hope I ain't messing his name up.
Josh Glessing, president.
of the Milwaukee Bucks and Pfizer Forum joining us live, man, new president of the Milwaukee Bucks and Pfizer Forum.
So, you know, we're super excited about that conversation, Shannon.
We got a ton of questions straight as the Bucks enter a new era.
Man, how do you think we're going to do this year, Shannon?
I think we're going to do great that you know.
Yeah.
Sports.
Oh, sport.
I think we're going to do all right.
I got to see it.
I got to see it.
We're going to talk to Josh and see what he got for us today.
Also on the menu, Shannon, today, we want to, you know, just highlight, not even highlight, right?
But talk about this gun violence in the city as yet again, another 12 year old was shot, right?
Last night.
on 92nd Street and Custer Avenue.
Sounds like the kid is going to be okay, right?
But it's too many times now we keep hearing the same story.
We keep having hearing the same story, so we have to not just have conversation, not just have conversation about it, but what are we actually going to do about it, right?
Because it can't be the same conversation over and over and over again.
Now, Shannon, did you hear about the anthropic researcher who quit?
Anthropic.
What'd I say?
Anthropic.
I'm from the islands.
That's how we say it.
Tropic, untropic.
We say tree.
Hey, I'm just saying, that's how we the talk is at Thomas.
So I told y'all, sometimes the Caribbean, there you go.
You feel me?
That's sometimes they come out.
Anthropic for my American folks.
Researchers say AI could kill all humans within a decade.
So I'm like, what the hell does that mean?
And I definitely would like to get into what they're talking about with that.
And then yesterday, Shannon, man, he extended lunch.
You didn't stick around.
You was pretty full.
So, you know, you had to go work out that meal that we had.
You know, she had to go, you know, digest.
But
oh, is it never my house?
Is it in the bathroom?
So
You feel what I'm saying?
She has to go do some heavy work.
So we talked about something that was interesting, right?
Yesterday, we had an interview with some folks and they were talking about the We Energy's rate case and what was, you know, unethical about it and what can be kept.
They even talked about some examples.
that folks are that is happening right now in Illinois, ironically, and the company in Illinois is owned by none other than we yet.
So it's interesting that they have practices for our neighbors and, you know, just continuously raising it on us over here.
So I wanted to, you know, just bring that back to the conversation here.
with our lunch break listeners that probably didn't get to stick around for the extended lunch.
And then, you know, we got to end with... You feel me?
It was interesting.
It was interesting.
I'm trying to find the paper that we had in here, but I know I'll be cleaning up.
But, yeah, man.
So that's the menu today, Shannon.
Do you remember where you were for 9-11?
Dude, I do I was literally in third grade.
Um, but it was obviously a memorable um day for everybody Yeah, I think what what stands out to me as an adult though like now like they straight up like just turn the TV on and like we all like Really young watching that and like I know most people will remember like the like graphic
scene of like the Twin Towers burning down and people were like jumping out the windows like it was horrific like my substitute teacher was crying it was super like you know as a third grader you're not processing things correctly and like the teacher obviously wasn't very good at explaining something traumatic happening in real time yeah it was it was a
Unfortunate day, and I think like everybody was just like
I
want to go home to my mom like people we were like They don't come and they don't get Congress elementary next like
I was at Riverside University.
It was like my junior year senior year if I'm not mistaken
And, you know, I was, I was always, it was the first class of the day.
So, and, you know, I'm like, they have the, you know, they used to roll the TV out back then when I was in high school and used to come out on the cart.
So, you know, I assumed like it was a free day.
I was always goofing around in class.
So I came in like thinking it was like the.
something from the past.
Remember when they had like the, cause if I'm not mistaken, this wasn't the first, that wasn't the first time they tried to do something to the towers, if I'm not mistaken, or something else had happened.
And I was assuming that it was some old stuff that was happening.
So I'm coming in class making jokes.
And I remember Mr. Kuzma vividly saying like, everything is in a joke, Mr. Boynes.
And I was like, what's wrong with folks?
Oh, true.
And then he was like, this is currently happening.
And I was like, oh, dang.
And I didn't understand that this was currently happening at the time.
So I remember vividly, man, where I was.
And, you know, it was just like a somber day in school for that whole day.
But one thing my mama was not doing was coming to pick me up from school.
She was like, I'm at work.
You are staying at school.
But.
I was like, man, they ain't coming to get us.
I'm like, man, listen, I was, I was scared, but you know, these days built a little different because we knew we wasn't coming.
We wouldn't get picked up.
They moms definitely was not coming to pick me up, but condolences and our memories goes out to all of the victims and the first responders.
that lost their life, sacrificed, or helped out trying to save folks that day on this tragic day in our country's history.
When we come back, when we come back, we will have an interview with the new president of the Milwaukee Bucks at Pfizer Forum, Josh.
Glessing, I hope I'm saying his name, right?
And we gonna get into this new Bucks era, y'all.
Don't go anywhere.
You are listening to the Lunch Break on the award-winning 1017, The Truth.
Ray Needy,
DJ Brother Z. DJ Brother Z.
to the
Man, I'm feeling great.
I'm super excited about this conversation, for sure.
Listeners, if you are just joining us, 833-212-1017 is the number to dial and join the conversation.
We have welcoming, welcoming Josh Glesing, president of the Milwaukee Bucks and Pfizer Forum as he enters his first season lead in the organization.
Welcome, man.
How are you feeling?
How are you feeling today?
Good to be here.
Thanks for having me.
Excited for the season.
Optional training camp started this week.
Got the guys back, getting excited.
Okay.
When I was two, I moved to Racine, grew up in Racine.
For the Racine listeners, I
to, to Knapp McKinley in Park High School.
I'm actually going to bring my eight year old daughter.
We're going to go tonight to Park is playing Horlick.
Barcy football.
So we're going to go down to Racine tonight.
My mom is still in Racine.
My brother's here in Milwaukee.
My sister's in Kenosha.
My in-laws are in La Crosse, Wisconsin's home.
Super excited for you.
Ben Jammin is from Racine as well.
So I know he's super excited about this interview, man.
Me and Shannon got a few questions for you.
I know you got a busy day trying to get us back to that championship DNA.
So I'll start off with this question.
As you enter your first season as president, what does this new era of Bucks basketball look like?
And what is your biggest goals?
Listen, I'll start with the end.
The goal is the same as the goal has always been to put the product together that competes on the court for championships.
Period.
That hasn't changed.
The path to
doing
it maybe looks a little bit different than it's looked over the last decade plus.
But I'd say the first big piece is Taylor Jenkins, new head coach.
We went out and got the best guy available.
We were really aggressive in getting him.
He was excited about what we've done here, excited about what we want to do.
And then we build from there.
Obviously everyone knows that the Yanis trade was transformational for the organization.
We're so grateful for everything that Yanis did, for the box did in the community.
But we were able to get some really good pieces back.
We
got a draft pick that's going to be on court this year.
Two great draft picks.
They look good.
We got some great
young ball players.
And then we got some real assets back in the form of young blue chip ball players.
Tyler Hero,
obviously another Wisconsin kid.
Klell Ware, Jaime Haca, real ball players with a lot of upside.
And then we hope that some of the other guys can take that next step.
Miles Turner can coach on Lockham to make.
to make him into what we know he has been in the past and he can be.
So it
looks a little bit different.
It's going to be a different style of basketball.
But we're excited about the pieces coming together.
For sure.
So you've expressed the goal of making the Bugs the most accessible team in sports.
So what does that mean for the fans?
Yeah, it means I would say this year it means a couple of things.
One, for the first time in 30 years, every single Milwaukee Bucks game is going to be free at every house in the state of Wisconsin.
On my 24, we did a great partnership with RINCon.
And I think there's been a lot out there as to what happened with FanDuel and what happened with the RSN model.
And this was an opportunity and may not be forever, but for us to do something really cool, us to bring the Bucks into every home in the state of Wisconsin.
So that's one.
The broadcast
of
Milwaukee Bucks games is more accessible than it's ever been before.
And then two, we put a lot of thought behind putting together tickets and packages that are accessible.
And I would say that means two things.
One, make it family friendly.
So we've got 16 games this season that are on the weekends.
One of the most fun things that we did in the off season, a lot of people don't know how the sausage is made, but we get a draft version of the schedule a few days before it gets out.
comment.
And a lot of the comments
gonna be like, this is a brutal road trip.
You can't make us play back to backs in these cities.
But one of the most fun things is, you know, Taylor Jenkins, John Horst and myself, you know, as we looked at it, we all have young kids.
Yeah.
We're all thinking about it from the same lens.
It's hard to get my kids to a Bucks game on a Tuesday night at 830.
Yeah.
On a
Sunday at four.
Saturday on
a Friday.
Yeah.
That's a lot different.
So for us, as we think about our families, you know, game
sense.
And then, you know, we've got, we've got season ticket packages, 10, 10 Bucks games.
$150 a ticket that's $15 a ticket.
So we're trying to put things together that allows people to get into the building to get access on TV We've said it before I've said it before you know, we think we're the most successful team in the NBA this season Got
it So the books is returning to TV on my 24 like you mentioned the first time in 31 years How important is that expanded access for the fans?
I think it means two things.
One, it makes our existing fans put some of the position to access the bucks maybe easier than ever before.
But more importantly, it allows us to continue to
grow
the fan base, not just in southeastern Wisconsin, but around the state.
So
making it
easier for people to find the Milwaukee Bucks to access the Milwaukee Bucks for us to grow that fandom.
And that's exciting for us.
Long term is obviously we're in the business of developing fans, but you think about those people in northern Wisconsin, in western Wisconsin growing their fan affinity.
Those people are going to come to Milwaukee and they're going to spend the night and they're going to spend dollars at hotels and they're going to spend dollars at local restaurants and local businesses.
So it could also be an economic engine, maybe
not
in the very, very near term.
But as we grow the fan base long term, it's incredibly important for Milwaukee to have an economic impact on the city, on the region.
For sure.
So how will the bugs continue to prioritize and invest in Milwaukee and the communities throughout Wisconsin?
Yeah, it's important.
You know, the good thing for me is I'm like I said, I'm from here.
My family's here.
Showing up, not just in Racine where I grew up, but showing up in southeastern Wisconsin is important to me personally.
It's important to John.
Horseperson is important to Taylor Jenkins.
Personally, it's important to our young players.
We'd know how important it is to show up and be present in the community and I think the organization long before me was Had gotten really good at that and we're gonna continue to be hyper hyper focused on on showing up on being present and being accessible
But we know that the platform that we have and the impact that we can make with young kids and the community, with others in the community, is important.
So we're going to continue to show up.
We're going to show up through the foundation.
We're going to show
up
through the Deer Accelerator, through our community engagement initiatives,
through
player initiatives.
But we know it's important.
The city and the region has given so much to the Milwaukee Bucks.
And it's incumbent on us to give back.
And like I said, this region has given so much to me personally that I feel an obligation to leverage the platform to give back.
Can you play Power Forward for the Milwaukee Bucks this season?
The
good.
The pay
I'll take it, but I don't know if you all let me on that court.
They wouldn't even let me in the practice facility.
We was talking baseball a little different, but.
The city of Milwaukee, right?
And the previous ownership invested so much in the downtown, the Pfizer form area, that economical boost that you talk about, right?
And we talk about it on this program a lot.
And yes, we are extremely thankful for what Giannis brought to the city, right?
He was our hugest draw for ticket sales.
How do you...
Go about saying hey, this is how we're gonna make sure we keep in our ticket sales up or knowing that they may be a decrease But how do we say we're working our way back to making sure we're still generating?
Revenue for the city of Milwaukee,
so I'll answer that question.
I'll answer somewhat different question admittedly I thought you were going we think about the Milwaukee bucks so easy to call the Milwaukee bucks a basketball story a story think about the land that
that the trade sits on, that the new multi-family project sits on, that FISER sits on.
That land was available for purchase for decades for $1.
Someone could bring a plan on how to develop it, and no one could figure it out.
And then we put FISER form there.
The trade hotel opens up.
The first phase of multi-family opens up.
We just break ground last month on another hotel.
The Live Nation music venue opens up.
270 affordable housing units broke ground on a few months ago a new gym all of the commercial development and all of the the bars and restaurants that are there in the due district that doesn't happen but for the walking box and
five serves so for
us it's so much bigger the concerts that come here that we're never going to Bradley Center and the people that come with those concerts and they spend their money locally and the taxes that that generates that go back in the community so we think about the bucks is so much more than a basketball team on the court
think about it as an economic engine.
Absolutely.
To development and to make an impact.
You know, talking about the multi-family affordable housing units.
Multi-family is a problem everywhere in the country.
Absolutely.
Everywhere in the country there's a shortage in housing.
So we'll be able to leverage our platform to deliver additional units.
It's something that we're incredibly proud of.
So that's the, and then taking it back from there, the NBA is the most global sport.
in the world.
The Packers are a behemoth.
I don't want to take anything away from them.
The Brewers, what they do in the community is fantastic.
They're playing great baseball right now.
Outside of America, most people are pretty indifferent to Major League Baseball.
If we're going to shine a light on Milwaukee globally, it's going to be through the Milwaukee Box.
In 2021,
when everyone was
tuned into the NBA Finals, a lot of those people have never heard of Milwaukee before.
Just be really honest.
not.
But
they
tuned in
and
they saw the Deer District and
they saw the
you know, everything that the Milwaukee Bucks were.
So for us to be able to leverage that to shine a light on Milwaukee is so incredibly important to us.
As it relates to in bowl, as it relates to selling tickets, you know, we're gonna, Jimmy Haslam, one of our two controlling owners has said this publicly recently.
If we go back towards the end of last year, it wasn't the most entertaining brand of basketball.
If we know that, we're not particularly proud of that,
but what we're going to do this year is I guarantee you.
We're going to entertain.
Yeah.
Taylor Jenkins is going to entertain.
What Taylor likes to do with guards is entertaining.
We're rethinking what the overall fan journey and experience looks like because the basketball and the new building by itself was
so
compelling for such a long time.
We're saying, OK, what
if
we revisit
this?
How are we
entertaining people?
We want to give them great basketball.
We're building back to great, great basketball.
But we also want to be in the business of entertaining.
So we're rethinking that, too.
There's a lot of people who just want to be entertained.
There's some people who want to watch really compelling technical basketball and some people who want to be entertained.
We've got to take care of both of
Well, Josh, I know you have a busy day, man.
We thank you.
Thank you for your time, man.
We wish you much success.
We are truly excited for this new buck season.
I'm ready to see what Tyler Hero does.
I know he's a walking bucky, so we're going to get a lot of Milwaukee fans in the seats, man.
Anything you want to share with the fans before we go to break?
Now, the only thing I'll say, you know, for me and my family, you know, we've been welcomed back so well.
And one of the fun things about this job is everyone's cheering for me.
Everyone is cheering for me and for the team to be successful.
And that's
really, really fun.
And when we do things that the fans don't like, you're more than welcome to tell me, but don't worry.
My brother, my mother, my sister, they
make it very clear what they do and don't like the decisions that the game play.
My mom's pretty smart on the game of basketball, she's got
lots of questions about
it.

I'm excited to see it, Shannon.
Also, it was interesting to hear his hear him talk about the importance of the economical impact.
of the bucks and not just looking at it as essentially a basketball team, right?
But it is definitely something that drives economy.
Downtown Milwaukee, but expanding beyond downtown because of all of the taxes generated and so forth.
So.
I'm interested, man.
I'm very interested.
I am very, very interested.
I'd love to know the numbers.
what it looks like this year.
What's the revenue coming in versus when we had Yanis?
Obviously, we're probably anticipating somewhat of a downward tick, but that's to be expected, right?
But hopefully, we could grow this up as a community.
And I would like to see them build more community partnerships.
as it comes to the safety efforts as well.
I think that would be super, super dope because as people keep talking about all the violence downtown and this and that, we have to take it serious, right?
And we have to understand that this could be a driving factor on why people may not want to come downtown.
So forming these great partnerships right now and being able to proactively.
Get ahead of it.
I think it would do great for the city for the dear district all the businesses in the area.
I don't think nobody else fails when we do violence interruption when we invest in violence interruption, so Yeah, man, Shannon, how you feeling?
How you
feeling?
Like I said, I think that was a great interview.
And it was, it was good to hear like the plans that they have for the Bucs.
I'm super excited for this season, even though I'm not like, you know, sporty, I love a good event.
Don't get me wrong.
I love it.
I love it.
People

Oh,

You all know what I'm talking about.
Yeah,

Everything else.
Thank you.
you say?
long
need to
I'm excited for the buck season
Because we never know, right?
This is new.
This is new.
We got to see how this team plays together.
We did get a lot of dope young pieces.
And these young boys been entering the league, really getting to it.
So it's going to be interesting to see what this new generation of bucks look like.
And who's really committed to the city and the team?
And that's the other thing, too, because.
My main concern is and this isn't a Milwaukee Bucks problem.
OK, I don't know if the Bucks is responsible for this, but I don't know if we do enough as a city to attract or retain star power.
You know, a lot of times you hear athletes, it's a couple athletes that say, man, I love Milwaukee.
You know what I'm saying?
Carmelo Anthony.
You know, you even hear Mace talking real highly about Milwaukee Juvenile.
You know, people, they say Milwaukee's a gem, a place they love to be.
But, you know, you still have
your.
short.
You told me he was like, I love him.
You know where we was that low key and how do you know?
this night sounds like a fever dream, but we were at like it so
There's a club on the strip where like very rich people can rent out a separate area to party J Cole was there to shirt was there a basketball player was there But what
basketball
player
What
team He's very well, I think he just retired actually but a lot of people were there and to sure was there and they were going to another spot He was like
We gonna have to pull it up But yeah, man, we need uh You know, it's it's always good when you get players that genuinely love the city and want to be in the city and play for the city and I think that was one of the biggest things we lost with Yanis was his genuine love for the city and I think it was smart getting somebody like Tyler hero who's from Wisconsin
But he has strong Milwaukee roots in the basketball community will will say it like that.
And Milwaukee community and the basketball community got a lot of love for Tyler hero.
So I think that is a smart move for ticket sales and so forth.
But yeah, man, it doesn't help when you got folks like a LeBron James talking about who wants to get who wants to play in Milwaukee on the weekend or something like that in the cold.
I'm like, fool, you from Cleveland.
Calm down.
Chill
out.
together.
walk, walk, walk, half bad.
All right.
Milwaukee is a gem in this country.
I'm telling you, Milwaukee is a gem in this country and we take it for granted.
We take it for granted what we have here in the city our proximity to fresh water that alone I Don't think people realize how much that alone Sets us apart from the rest of the country Being able to be close to fresh water Shannon That's huge.
I don't think people understand how important that is but Anyway, that alone sets
Milwaukee up like when you think of the country, if everything goes to crap right now.
We already talked about them privatizing water and all of these other things.
What would.
Lake Michigan is only a few of us around the Lake Michigan.
And it ain't too many other fresh bodies of water in this country.
I'm just saying, Shannon, and we experience all the seasons.
As much as I dislike winter
And it's actually beautiful to like experience that I do miss seeing all the seasons like like you said I don't I don't miss shoveling and all the things But it's actually to experience every single season and we do have a lot going on people just when you when you I Guess when you're in it, you don't appreciate
till it's
on.
