Again, shout out to my students at Howard Fuller Collegiate Academy.

Kalea Lovett, Edwin Lawrence, and Darius Ashford.

They all won first, second, and third place during Bronzeville Festival on this past Sunday performing.

They're rappers and and they make beats and they begin it in and they want some money too.

Let me hold something y'all.

Let me hold something.

Um, we also have a, uh, when I say we, I mean the community, uh, Alderman Chambers has a back to school festival taking place Sunday, August 30th from 12 to four at the indigenous park, People's Park, um, 7301 West Cortland Avenue.

They will have free book bag supplies, kids' fun zone, free hygiene products, free burgers and hot dogs, free haircuts, a bike raffle, health screenings, a DJ and so much more.

These are the type of events that I like to plug because for some families it's a little difficult around this time, especially with bills and the children going back to school.

So while there is, you know,

Supplies left and while there is people who are doing events inside of the community.

I want to make sure that we are Being that we are aware and that we're spreading this information so that you guys can make sure your students are Headed into school the proper way Next week August 11th next Tuesday will be the primary election.

So if you have not

Gotten a chance to get out and vote Make sure you go cash your ballot, right?

This election is extremely important We want to make sure that we put the right person in office We want to make sure that we are doing our due diligence It's been very interesting, right?

We know that Mandela has dropped out a couple of weeks ago

There's a lot of rhetoric online about Hong and some previous tweets.

The biggest concern I have, well, one of the biggest concerns I have with her specifically is her attempting to get rid of the school choice voucher, which would eliminate parents like myself who utilize this system primarily because the educational resources

that are provided at these schools are beneficial for my children as well as other people's children, right?

Not everyone, you know, wants to go to a public school.

Some people want to go to private schools.

Some people want to go to charter schools.

But at the end of the day, the choice should be ultimately up to the parent, you know?

The choice should be up to the parent.

We should have a choice on

where we want our children to attend, what schools we want our children to attend based off of how they learn, based off of their capacity to learn.

And removing that would be a hinder, you know?

In my personal opinion, removing that voucher would hinder us.

I don't believe that it would help us.

Also,

I've seen in the news that Evers, Governor Evers stated that he do not believe Hong can beat Tom Tiffany.

He does not have faith and after he has endorsed Crowley, I would imagine he wouldn't believe that she could beat Tom Tiffany.

They've also been talking about the fact that Bernie Sanders stated he do not plan on endorsing Hong.

This is, again, becoming very interesting.

So far, I've seen Crowley receive endorsements from the mayor of Waukesha.

He's also received an endorsement from Wynne Moore.

He's received an endorsement from Governor Tony Evers, as well as some union reps.

So he's getting the endorsements left and right.

Again, not quite sure how this is going to play out, but

I do hope that if you are able to, that you do go down and cash your ballot, again, this is probably one of the most important elections that we've had, especially when it comes to the governor's race.

One of the things that I also want to highlight that I've seen Crowley talk about was the mass incarceration piece.

And that's something that's extremely important, especially because he is the county executive.

He is primarily over those facilities here in the city of Milwaukee.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the only county that has.

Milwaukee County is the only county I think he said has not a prison or something to that effect, but it was something that separated us from other counties.

And he's been doing the work when it comes to that.

That is something that I have not heard the other candidates speak about I have not heard them speak about Mass incarceration.

I have not heard them speak about finding ways to Make sure that returning citizens are being taken care of as they re enter society so that they can become successful These are things that I have been paying attention to and again shout out to

They would cry for even acknowledging that and being willing to continue to support that.

No matter how much we feel have ill feelings about it or how we feel about it at all, it is something that we cannot overlook.

It is a reality, especially if you are the parent of a young black man in the state of Wisconsin.

This is a harsh reality.

So again, make sure you cast your vote next week, August 11.

for the primary election.

We gotta go to break when we come back.

Listen, I told y'all, it's Friday, Friday kickback.

We've been talking heavy all week.

It's time to have a little fun.

We're gonna tap into the bucks.

Let's see what's happening with the bucks.

Don't touch that dial, it should grow a jazz title of 101.7 of

Truth.

One on one

point seven is true that you girl jazz Tyler.

We are live in Zarek.

Hey, check this out.

This week has been very, very, very impactful.

Every single day has been impactful.

We've had some amazing conversations.

But today, like I said, we not solving nothing today.

Jazz is tired.

I want to kick back.

I am preparing for the sport season for those who are not familiar.

Um, I play basketball.

I play basketball fifth grade through, um, high school and I am a huge sports fanatic.

Um, I don't want to get shoot out for saying this, but my favorite football team is the Cowboys.

I like the Packers.

Default Packer fan, but I grew up in an era where Prime, when he was playing for... Show's over.

Look at Z. Z said it's a wrap.

You gotta pick up and go home, man.

Listen.

Listen.

I have a valid reason, though.

I grew up when Prime time was playing for the Cowboys.

And if you grew up during that time, he was undeniable.

There is no way that you could not be

Dallas Cowboy fans again.

I'm by default.

I am a Packers fan But above all I am a Milwaukee Bucks fan.

You understand And before we get into the fun today, we have to talk about our teams because the Bucks is looking a little different, right?

Taylor Jenkins is now leading as the Bucks head coach TJ Ford TJ Ford is back in Milwaukee.

Yes

Terrence Ford the former Bucks a point guard drafted eighth overall Pick in 2003 is now returning as one of the assistant coaches And I love that because it's a full circle, you know He once came here to help lead the franchise on the floor and now he gets to pour into the next Generation from the sideline that is truly legacy.

We also have a new group of players to learn

Braden Burry's Nate Amint Tyler hero just a couple of people who May or may not you may or may not be familiar with but all in all again This is a completely new chapter for the Milwaukee Bucks.

We know how important Yanis was to the city We know how important the Bucks is when it comes to not just you know the excitement, but also

The economic growth in the city of Milwaukee is very important.

So I'm eager to see again I'm eager to see how this is going to play out with the books I don't have any bias opinions at the moment I do feel away because I'm not sure if I Don't want I don't want to sound like a hater

I'm not sure if we have a roster that can carry us to another championship.

And I could be wrong because I am one of those people who do not like when people underestimate me.

And I'm pretty sure that the new team that is coming probably feels the same way.

What I will say is they're going to have to work their butts off.

They're going to have to work their butts off to prove to the fans.

I'm also eager to see how.

Full or empty these arenas are going to be if I'm curious enough the sales Has been impacted the season tickets because Janice is no longer with us So again the bucks man is is looking we in a new wave.

We're transitioning into something completely different Speaking of sports.

I don't know if you guys viral clip that's been going around social media

With Pat Murphy, but it was hilarious Unfortunately, I can't play it for you guys because there's a lot of swearing in it, but when I seen it it just it tickled me apparently The picture got hit the picture hit person who was swinging a bat in the butt He did it like twice.

He kept saying that he did it on purpose so much to the point where Pat ended up

getting into it with the other guy, saying some words.

It's always funny to see white people arguing.

I'm just being honest.

Yeah, you're a real tough guy, aren't you?

Yeah, you're a real tough guy.

It was going back and forth.

Oh, my gosh, I've never seen anything like it.

It was hilarious.

Shout out to the brewer.

Shout out to the Bucks looking forward to and shout out to the Packers who looking forward to this the sport season.

So.

As we head into the five o'clock hour, again, this is Friday kickback, man.

We're going to kick back, have some fun.

We're going to talk about the black household hall of fame.

And y'all know what I mean from the ghetto Olympics to do your mama or your grandmother use your grocery store bags as garbage bags, all of the things, right?

I just want to circle back on this week and recap some of the things that we talked about.

Primarily because we had some amazing interviews, but also there were some gyms that were dropped that I don't want to You know, I don't want to go.

I don't want them to be overlooked So the first is the let them theory

If you guys have not had a chance to check out any of the interviews or any of the shows this week, you can do so by going to youtube.com and typing in 101.7 the truth.

Tap in.

You'll be able to pull up every single show I've ever done.

If you've ever missed any interview, you can go back and watch it.

My favorite interview one of my favorite interviews thus far most definitely was interview that I had with legendary home were blow There were a lot of gems dropped in that interview There was a lot of information that he had given about himself But the biggest takeaway for me, and I hope it's the same with you all is You know at the end of the day The more you understand the more you learn someone the more you understand why they are the way that they are

And even though it sounds very simple and cliche, it's the truth.

Because a lot of times miscommunication and misjudgment forces us to behave or act a certain way towards certain people because we don't understand them.

It is very imperative that you take the time and opportunity to learn people, right?

I'm a person who loves to analyze I love analyzing people I'm just humans in general because it helps me communicate better and Sitting down with Homer It made so much sense as to why he has these huge birthday bashes for the kids Why he's a prominent figure in our community there were so many things that

Forced me to open my eyes to see why he is the way that he is and I also took that and then implemented it, you know on the outside meaning I started to make make sure that Took a step back and started to view people, you know a little bit differently so that I can Learn them and learn why they are the way that they are

Um, another thing that I took away from that interview was, uh, the full circle moments, right?

It's not often that you get the opportunity to sit across from someone who has impacted your life in a major way.

Um, and what I mean by that is the information that was provided to me from Homer, the advice that he had given me, um, I actually implemented it and it worked, right?

So it was a full circle moment where I asked him for advice 16 years later today.

And now I am implementing that advice so that I can go on to be successful.

So my call to action for that specifically is take the time to learn someone without judgment, without prejudging, without any expectations or conditions.

Just learn people, right?

And obviously I'm not saying you have to go around learning everybody.

If you don't apply, let it fly.

But evidently, I'm speaking to.

and those who have certain individuals in their lives.

You want to figure out who they are so that you can learn how to best support them in whatever way that they need.

Don't support them in the way that you want to support them in the way that they need to be supported.

We also had a conversation with entrepreneur Kenneth Mays, and his story is amazing.

He moved up here from Mississippi at the age of 14, which is...

You know, that's a little bit different when you when you take a child who's going to high school and move them to a different state, make a little bit the transition can be a little bit difficult.

So he transitioned up here, ended up, you know, selling dinners and things of that nature, working his way up to the point where he purchased his business, the fifth, fifth street corner market, fish market on 60th.

The Lisbon is the old red snapper.

Now he is about to.

Open up 80 proof, which is a bar on Jefferson Street.

His story was amazing, but we also had some fun.

We had some interesting conversations.

One of the questions that was asked based off of something I've seen was if someone over the age of 35, if they've never been married in a serious relationship or doesn't have any children, if that's a red flag, right?

For me, it is.

For some, it isn't, but.

Again, I just be feeling like what what have you been doing this entire time?

Right?

So shout out to Kenneth May shout out to a fifth Street corner market the fish market if y'all get a chance man Go ahead and check out some of that seafood.

It's fire over there I know a lot of people that grew up on red snappers You know if you haven't me, you may be a little skeptical.

Don't be telling you firsthand I am a customer and the food is fire

We also had a conversation with Philly Flyboy legendary Philly Flyboy So I met Philly Philly actually reached out to me.

He's seen my music video Back in 2011 was like yo, this is one of my favorite favorite Milwaukee videos, right?

And this is during the time where we wasn't a lot of people wasn't you know doing videos or shooting videos and we did a song together and then from there Just been plugging me.

Hey

TI want to do some work with Crystal Kaiser.

Let me call Jazzy.

T-Pain want to bring with Cancel Festival there.

Let me call Jazzy.

Trader Truth want to do Trade Aid.

Let me call Jazzy.

Every time somebody wants to do something, Philly calls me.

I make it happen.

We build the relationships.

We build the city up and we bring the resources here.

And the reason why I'm bringing that up is because a lot of people like to gatekeep.

You know, a lot of people don't like to give the information or put you in a position to win.

And I've only seen him put the people around him in a position to win without bragging.

And that's extremely important to me.

So big shout out to Philly Flyboy.

We also talked to Shadee Robinson's mother yesterday.

When we come back, we'll tap into that end as we head into the five o'clock hour.

It's Friday kickback.

Talking about the Black House whole hall of fame, baby.

Gotta go to break.

Do not touch that dial.

Should grow a Jazz Tyler.

One on one point seven and truth is your girl Jazz Tyler.

We are live in direct.

Do not forget to like and subscribe to our YouTube channel.

One on one point seven and truth.

Shout out to the check everyone in their vehicles who are currently listening and tapping in.

We gotta call it on the line.

Al, are you there?

Yes, I'm here and please correct me if I'm wrong.

Did your guest say yesterday if you ain't been married and you're over 35 that's a red flag.

So it wasn't the guest yesterday.

This was, I guess, a couple of days ago, we were talking about it.

The question came up, is it a red flag?

If you haven't been married, been in a serious relationship or had children over the age of 35, I said it was a red flag.

Personally, for me, dating a man who hasn't been, because what have you been doing this entire time?

Oh, okay,

because I was

just trying to figure out because I'm over 35.

And I ain't never been married, and I'm like, you know, if I do get married, I'm gonna, you know, marry because they're gonna fit all my needs and desires.

Prime example, if I marry somebody and they already been married, whatever you gave your first wife or your first husband, I'm gonna have to get that double because I'm getting second.

But have you ever been in a serious relationship, Al?

Yes, I guess I have, but I didn't really get what I want.

So I had to let it go.

So I'm going to hold out for the big fish, which means I want a certain style of living.

I want a certain size of a house.

I don't want to hear about all the great experience that you created with somebody else.

I want

to create those 10 times more.

I'm not settling for potential.

I don't

care

what you've been through.

I want the best so that, you know, because in some relationships, the people who did marry for love, they're jaded and they're bitter.

Absolutely.

They didn't

get what they, you know, they didn't get what they want.

But for me, you know, I'm like, if I do get married, they're going to have a portfolio.

They're going to have money.

If you got saved by God, I will not marry you because that means just choose to settle because you'll be down by the devil and you're outdated and you are out of touch and to me that is baggage.

So I want somebody with a big portfolio, big finances, you know, a person who wants to give me the best.

I don't want to marry somebody and they just say, well, you went through this with your last relationship or now you decide you want to settle down.

That's not going to help me.

Absolutely.

So you don't qualify.

And what I mean by that is you had a serious relationship.

So when I said, you know, it's a red flag, I know men who has not, who are over 40, that has never been in a serious relationship, never been married, doesn't have any children.

That is a red flag to me, at least being a serious relationship or something like that.

To me, that shows that you don't know how to commit.

OK, but is committing even good now today?

It is it

is and I'm only I'm only I'm only asking I'm not trying to like start I'm just it if committing eating even good today Considering some people got to get high on dope.

They got to get drunk to be sexually active, but they can go right around the corner and do it with somebody who Who who fit they needs and desire?

Yeah, I think commitment is the safest thing today because it's a lot going on out here It's a lot.

I know

they got soup

Right, because you know we didn't have like four cases of Super Gandaria.

You know they got the Ringworm FTD that came out in Minnesota.

and being a lot of people will be laying in bed with you talking about they you know they have a nice sweat when they really got that buzz and then some of them be having syphilis and ain't waiting got these shots and then some of them got dingleberries downstairs and they're not going to get their cold treatment and some of them is not even you know doing what they supposed to do and then other thing I want to tell you too is for DNAs our DNAs does not mix so if your body is itching you do not

have Chlamydia, you don't have Gundaria, it's just your blood type doesn't match with their blood type.

So if you got an itchy feeling or you burning, your blood is telling you this is not the blood type for you.

Ladies,

don't let that man throw your pH balance off.

Fellas too.

And if he doesn't, and if he does not urinate after he ejaculate, that should be the biggest red flag.

Y'all have yourself a great weekend.

Bye bye.

Thank you so much, Al.

Thank you.

Oh, that was different.

So today, um, listen, all week, I spent doing interviews again yesterday.

We had, we spoke to a Shade Robinson's mother, my good sister, Sheena, and she was able to give us information surrounding the case that the world doesn't know.

Um, we interviewed Philly Flyboy and Kenneth Mays and Homer Blown.

We had some amazing conversation and we healed.

We let people go.

We talked about grief, legacy.

Businesses all of the above but listen Also last week.

I was super sick.

I was extremely sick those who know me No, I have and those who don't I have lupus.

So whenever There's a virus or something going around it affects me a little bit differently and y'all it was a wrap.

Oh my gosh last week was so rough

Um, and I still, you know, was showing up, pushing through it.

Then I come this week and we had some amazing conversations.

So the past couple of weeks has been a lot.

Today we want to lighten it up a little bit.

Um, I want to do a Friday kickback.

Now we're going to do the black household hall of fame.

This came up because I realized in my parenting that my children.

Do not qualify to be a part of the Black Household Hall of Fame.

They have no idea about anything.

The only time they get a chance to understand what is what is when they head to their grandmother's house, to my mother's house.

So what does this mean?

What is the Black Household Hall of Fame?

All right, let's talk about it.

The nominees are the Butter Cookie 10 filled with sewing supplies.

If you have an elder in your family, your grandmama, your mama, somebody, y'all know what I'm talking about, those cookies that they gift on Christmas in the blue tin can, they are so good.

They have different flavors and stuff like that.

But we recycle those and we use it to fill it up with sewing supplies.

Grocery store bags as garbage bags.

I don't care how much money I have in this world.

I don't care how wealthy, how good I'm living.

I'm going to always use grocery store bag as a garbage bag.

I mean, I have garbage bags, obviously, right?

But they come in handy.

They come in handy.

They come in handy when it's time to pack that plate up.

If you're cooking on a Sunday and you got to take your people some food, go ahead, throw that.

aluminum foil over the plate, put it in a grocery store bag, and send it on his way.

So is you a drawer plastic bag holder, or is it like a whole big old

cabinet?

No, so I used to be a drawer plastic bag holder until, but I'm not OCD, but I'm kind of OCD, so it started bothering me.

So what I did was I just created a bin in my pantry, right?

Not where the food is, but where the cleaning supply is.

and then I tie them up little and then I just stick them inside of here.

I got bags inside of bags.

Me?

Whole cabinet full of them.

Listen, not just grocery store bags, I keep some store-bought bags too.

You know, like if I'm going shopping and it's a nice, durable bag, oh baby, that's gonna get repackaged.

Gift bags, I say.

That's gonna get repackaged.

But them grocery store bags, I don't know man, they might win this one.

Um, the living room that can't nobody sit in.

Yeah, I'm not from Milwaukee, but I know it's so country.

They be having dishes on the dining table.

And spoons and knives.

It's like, we're coming over.

Where you from, Tony?

I'm from the East Coast.

I'm from Philly.

Okay.

Yes.

So to that point, you know what?

I'm glad I got to put this on my list because that is hilarious.

I have no idea what that is about.

I have no idea.

Is it just Milwaukee?

I just want to know.

Is it just

Milwaukee?

No.

Not at all.

Not at all.

I've been in houses like that.

I grew up in a house like that.

It's similar to the living room that you can't sit in.

It's just there.

in the dining room with the China and the two sets of China.

It's a bowl, it's a dinner plate, it's a fork, it's all of that.

Like somebody coming over.

Just collecting dust.

Can't even use it on holidays, can't use it for celebrations, it's just there.

It's just there because the mail, everything that you bring in the house is sitting there too, but the dining plates and forks are still there.

Ain't nobody use we got to do something about that that most definitely qualifies as the black household of fame that might actually win Thank you so much Tony for tapping in with us Make sure you continue to tap in with us Monday through Friday 4 p.m To 7 p.m.

A shout out to Philly too man.

Shout out to everybody in Philly Listen Before we went to break we were talking about the black household Hall of Fame um I Want to get into something else

Right, I want y'all to call in and tell me what y'all think what else should be a part of it while you're calling in Let's talk about one of my favorite topics TV sitcom 70s 80s 90s 2000 who had the best era this is Extremely difficult.

This is difficult for me because I am a person who likes to watch all of the old shows, right?

I'm only 38 But my parents are old my parents my father's in his 70s.

My mother is

in her late 60s.

So I grew up watching Cheers and, you know, Madlock and Mash and In the Heat of the Night.

It's like, what are you watching?

Right?

Let's talk about it.

We got a caller on the line.

Jerome, are you there?

I'm here.

Thank you so much for tapping in with us.

How are you?

I'm doing great.

How about yourself today?

I'm doing good.

Well, I wanted to add to the hall of saying the most important piece that's always in everybody's house And that's that big family Bible that nobody can carry.

Yes Absolutely, absolutely.

Where where is the Bible sitting after you Jerome?

It's usually sitting in the cocktail table in the front.

Yeah, I mean in the living room

that

you can't go in.

Yes, nobody can touch it Nobody can touch it.

He's got it's got some genealogy in it.

It's far back as they can remember

And then we never continued it.

So it just stopped at a certain point.

Yes.

Yes.

You know what?

I'm adding that to the list, Jerome.

Thank you for that.

That is a prominent black household hall of fame.

I don't even think you can have a household hall of fame list without the huge family Bible.

Another one, the beads.

The beads hanging in the doorway.

Listen, I can see you.

I wonder whoever created this.

I wonder if they knew what is the purpose of the beads hanging in the doorway like I mean it

sounded nice when you walk through them.

Yeah, but I can see you man.

It's not covering up nothing.

I don't understand.

You forgot about the

plastic on the floor.

The little plastic liners.

Oh my gosh.

Do you know how many times I didn't tow my foot up?

Because they got the rigid things at the bottom.

Oh my gosh that hurts so bad.

Oh, that hurts so bad.

And you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Oh, you walk, especially in the wintertime.

Take your shoes off at the door because you don't want to get the salt on the floor.

And you walk on that plastic.

Man, listen.

So we are talking about the Black Household Hall of Fame.

We want to hear from you.

833-212-1017.

What items deserve to go inside of the Black Household Hall of Fame?

Now, I want to get in.

This is going to be funny.

This is going to be funny because every generation thinks that their generation has the best of whatever it is.

However, sitcoms, I think we've had some amazing black sitcoms across the board.

So what is your favorite sitcom from the 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s?

Which era had the best?

We're going to kick it off with the 70s.

This is difficult, y'all.

This is difficult.

Good times.

The Jeffersons, Sanford and Son, what's happening?

227 obviously Sanford and Sun is one of the top of the top, right?

I am a huge Sanford and Sun like I literally watch binge watch Sanford and Sun on the weekends.

I'm a huge red Fox fan.

I enjoy the comedy.

It is hilarious that I don't I can't say necessarily what era or what generation has the best TV shows, but what I will say out of the 70s

For me, it's going to be Sanford and Son.

Now we get into the 80s.

You got a different world.

I'm sorry, 227 was not in the 70s.

It was in the 80s.

You got a different world.

You got 227.

You got Amen.

Remember, Amen with what's his name from the Jeffersons?

You got Golden Girls, right?

I'm I'm choosing Golden Girls.

I am choosing Golden Girls.

I am.

And a huge Golden Girls fan is nothing you can tell me about those ladies.

I adore every last one of them.

Oh my gosh.

I also enjoy a different world, not because they say I look like Jasmine Guy, because I, you know, I'm not going to lie.

I used to run from that, but the older I get, the more I see it.

I most definitely favor her and we so happen to have the same exact name.

But a different world was very prominent for young black people.

And fun fact, a lot of people don't know it was a spinoff of the Cosby show.

It was about Vanessa going to college.

So that was something that was major.

It was a black HBCU.

Um, there were a lot of rising stars in that show and show what black culture looked like.

Um, so as much as I love golden girls, I'm going to have to go with a different world.

Now this is where it gets a little bit difficult.

If you're watching, if you can't, if you're not watching, you can't see.

I rub on my hand like bourbon.

It is getting real.

The nineties.

Oh my gosh.

Martin.

Come on, y'all.

Martin.

Fresh Prince.

Yeah!

Y'all know that feeling?

Every time y'all hear that Come On Y'all TV show, it's going down.

Yes.

Brumman from the fifth floor.

Right?

You got Roscoe.

You have so many different characters every time I think about Martin.

I think about the episode when he had the Rottweiler and the fake Rottweiler.

He was running it around like it was real.

He was actually supposed to have a real Rottweiler and they didn't bring one on set.

But the entire cast broke.

They could not keep a straight face because it was hilarious.

I had a chance to watch the reunion, I think a couple of years ago, and they were saying, I never realized how much Martin used to improvise.

Like, he improvised so much on that show.

They would have a script, and then they would take bits and pieces from it, but they allowed, the producers allowed them to improvise, and that was one of those moments where he had to improvise.

What

about them going on vacation when they said that ain't no dog, that ain't no

dog?

Listen, oh my god, and that thing was running around everywhere.

This is gonna be tough.

Fresh Prince.

So Fresh Prince was a very, very great show.

I loved Uncle Phil, but I'm gonna have to go with Martin over Fresh Prince.

I'm gonna have to go with Martin over Fresh Prince.

Living single.

Now...

Living single Martin They kind of like neck and neck um I love Maxine Maxine was probably the most hilarious on that TV show, but I gotta choose Martin over living single Family matters family matters was cool.

I think as a child child, you know When you were young young that was cool.

The more the more I became older

It was like, uh, it's cool.

It's all right.

I just know for me as a kid, seeing Stephon, seeing an Urkel turn to Stephon was like everything.

I think we, we all were sitting around the TV on a Tuesday evening, just waiting to see that.

Um, Jamie Foxx.

Now, Jamie Foxx TV show most definitely is neck and neck with Martin.

When you look at the punch lines, when you look at the script, that TV show was hilarious.

Jamie Foxx is hilarious.

Um,

Moisha, most definitely loved Moisha.

I think it resonated a little bit more with the young ladies.

But my favorite thing about that TV show was the fact that they allowed them to go to the den and showcase their talents.

And it was real life scenarios.

So shout out to Brandy, man.

I'm a huge Brandy fan.

Moisha was dope.

Sister, sister and the Wayne brothers.

Wayne's brothers TV show most definitely was it.

But again, for me, Martin is taking the cake for the best.

TV show in the 90s.

When we come back, let's tap into the favorite TV shows of the 2000s.

Which one is yours?

A332121017.

If you are just now tuning in and we are talking about the black household Hall of Fame Listen, let me just put something on my mind y'all.

It's a couple things How many of y'all used to take the chip bags and put them in an oven to make key chains?

The stuff how unsafe is that the stuff we used to do as kids we used to take the chip bags

Put them in the oven oven and make key chains.

Then you had the plastic weave.

You know how you take the plastic and weave it and make the key chains as well.

We used to take up the popcorn cooked on the stove, not microwaves.

We didn't even have a microwave.

We didn't.

We had to cook the popcorn on the stove.

Absolutely.

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

That's right, Marty.

I still eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to this day.

Babar says he had a newbie.

Oh, listen, let me tell y'all story time.

My very first crush ever, Kenneth Williams.

Kenneth and I both went to Hartford Elementary, but Kenneth was older than me.

When I was in fifth grade, he was like in eighth grade.

He had a gold herringbone.

So he used to wear, y'all remember the old school guest fits?

And the Nautica reversible jackets that had the plaid on the inside and the blue on the outside.

Oh, the Havana Joes.

He had a newbie with the gold hair and bone.

It was something about the guys with the newbies.

They was just so fly with the Koji, the Koji sweaters, the starter jackets, the Charles Barclays.

Oh my gosh, something about them newbies.

But.

I wanna be paying attention to you, but Barson, you tried to throw shade at me, right?

Talking about some.

I see you, but I wanna pay attention to you.

Yeah, all right.

All right, how many of y'all ladies used to match everything?

You got on red pants, red shirt with a white belt, white shoes, your hair bow, red with the white socks that rolled down.

The chip back chains, yes.

Absolutely the chopsticks in your french roll or uh or your absolutely Having to use map quest Having to actually print out your directions, right?

We're not talking GPS.

We're not talking about Connecting your phone to your car.

We're talking about you have to go to map quest put in the address find a printer

and print the instructions out.

And in order to get around the city, you had to remember.

My mama taught me this at a young age.

A lot of these kids, they have no idea about how a sense of direction because they depend on GPS.

If you are, I only remember because of where I grew up.

So when you're going north, the numbers go up.

When you're going south, the numbers go down.

That's the easiest way to remember.

Berlai is always the 3100 block.

Capital is always the 40 block.

I be trying to tell my students and tell these kids, but they don't have a sense of direction.

We had a rough.

We had to do a map quest.

We had dial up internet.

We only had one family computer.

And we only had one family TV.

Wasn't on TVs in the bedrooms.

There was no TVs in the bedrooms when I was growing up.

The TV was in the living room.

Because when it was time to go to bed, it was time to go to bed.

Now, there was nothing like being able to spend the night.

Shout out to my childhood friend, Trinette Harbin, and her mom, man, listen.

Oh, I used to love spending the night by their house.

We spend the night and we take a trip to Blockbuster.

Go to Blockbuster, pick out your favorite movie.

Shout out to the chat.

I see Jazz.

Said Whitney Houston and Brandy and Cinderella sister act one and two Yes, you go to a blockbuster pick out a movie go home and pop some popcorn over the stove, right?

Memories um passing folded notes.

How many of y'all was in class passing folded notes?

I Like you will you be my girlfriend?

Yes or no Getting caught in a teacher reading your notes out in front of the entire

classroom.

Oh my gosh.

How embarrassing.

How embarrassing was that?

Abstract said, I'm so glad I didn't get a wave, Nuvo.

Would have been looking like one of the five heartbeats.

And my hair probably would have fell out sooner than it already did.

My hair probably would have fell out sooner than it already did.

Listen, you can say what you want about the newbies.

I'll tell you.

Or if you was

One of the young ladies back then, we all loved the guys that had the Wave Nouveau.

The Wave Nouveau in a koogee fit, Havana Joes, the Pelly Pills in A-Brex jackets, the Nautica jackets that was reversible.

It was nothing like a guy with a fly car in that newbie, in that gold hearing bone.

I'm telling you, homemade burgers and crinkle fries, you know what Jazz, I still do that to this day.

But I toast my bread and I put that butter on it.

For real.

My mom, my mom used to, uh, that's how I learned it from her, but she used to wake up frying chicken, right?

And I could never understand why it's because she used to have a hangover.

She used to have a hangover.

Why am I always eating chicken at nine o'clock in the morning?

Cause she's dry with them banana peppers.

All right.

Um, just as the test, when you filled it out in a circle with the pencil,

the teacher grade book.

Y'all remember the teacher's grade book?

Y'all remember sneaking up to the teacher desk?

Y'all remember them pulling out the TV on a TV stand and wheeling it out in a classroom?

That's how you knew it was movie time?

You knew it was movie time when they roll that big old TV out?

It was going down.

Listen, it was going down.

Again, we've had such a long week, man.

It's been...

a lot going on, a long work week, a lot of things happening, and in the midst of the chaos and confusion, sometimes we just have to take it back to the basics.

Sometimes you need reminders of why life is good and why life could be worse no matter what you're going through.

Sometimes you need to remember how it started, even if you don't know how it's going to end.

Sometimes you just need to feel like a kid again, right?

You just need to feel like a kid again.

That feeling of your crush or somebody you like and when you finally get that phone call and they on the phone.

Or you sneaking.

You sneaking out the house to go and see them.

Hey, meet me.

Ladies, y'all remember we used to go walking for no reason.

Like, we're about to go walking.

Walking where?

I don't know.

We just walking.

Being fast.

Trying to get cute.

Meet some boys.

How many of y'all was around for the chat line?

Before Facebook, before Instagram, before MySpace and Black Planet, we had the chat line.

The chat line was just a party line.

You call in, you can be whoever you want it to be, but you call in, you know, the guys that get on there and they'll be like, yeah, what's up, baby?

Just, I'm off 24th Capitol, you know what I'm saying?

I'm looking for a lady that looked like...

five, five light skin with brown eyes.

You know what I mean?

Be out there.

Be out there and his little boy, little deep voice trying to catch on the chat line.

Um, Kool-Aid, the Kool-Aid in the Ziploc back with the sugar on the back of the school bus.

The Kool-Aid with the sugar in a Ziploc back on the back of the school bus.

And you ain't sharing.

And you going to school, you gonna get in trouble when you get home because now you got all this red residue on your hand and mouth by the time you pulling up to school, when you ain't possibly going to school looking no other way than how your mama sent you, looking.

Going to school, looking a mess.

Listen, don't back to the bus stories.

Oh, how many of y'all got beat up on the back of the bus or was beating people up?

Something it was going down on the back of the bus.

That's all I know It was going down on the back of the bus the back of the bus was only for the cool kids If you was not a cool kid you could not sit in the back three to four rows Marty said I still drink Kool-Aid.

I just I Haven't had Kool-Aid in so many years GB says the church bus that picked up all the neighborhood kids in the summertime man, um

When I used to spend midnight by my friends or in that house, I know for a fact that church was going to be a part of the whole summer vacation every day.

If I'm over there for a week, we're going to church every single day.

I love you Anita.

I promise I do.

But man, we said, listen, we're going to church on Monday.

We're going to Bible study on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, we might get a break, but it's still going to be somewhat church.

Thursday is choir rehearsal.

Friday is when all the church people come over.

Saturday is when you get a chance to kick it a little bit, but not too much because you got to prepare to go to church on Sunday.

You pick your dress out, you got your white stockings on, your slip, your little white socks with the ruffles, your heels.

You know, back then we had the fancy hairstyles as a kid.

You just had the ponytail.

That's it.

Put your, put your hair in the ponytail with the, uh, sponge roller for the bane.

Ain't got nothing in, silk press.

Hair ain't been pressed out of nothing.

Listen, we all talking about the black hall of fame.

I want to hear from you.

A-3-3-2-1-2-1-0-1-7.

We are taking it back.

It's Friday kickback, man.

It's been a long week.

Time to lighten up a little bit.

Have a little bit of fun.

We are talking about the black household Hollywood fame.

We have an amazing list here.

If you are just joining us, listen.

What is one thing that's going on your list that's a part of the black household Hall of Fame?

Is it the butter cookie tin full of sewing supplies, the grocery bag stores that you use as garbage bags, that good living room that you can't sit in that got that plastic on that furniture, or that crown royal bag, the purple velvet one?

Because I know some of y'all mamas use that for something.

Mine use it as my hairball bag.

We are going back down memory lane man.

Sometimes you just got to take a step back away from the reality and just go to your happy place man, you know Go to your happy place for me.

My happy place was youth when I was growing up You know the culture the the state of Milwaukee the environment walking outside knowing every last one of your neighbors by their first and last name

When everybody on the block was growing up together generation after generation your parents grew up with their parents now their kids is growing up the ice cream trucks I talked about the new police ice cream truck ain't nobody buying on ice cream off the police truck That defeats the purpose.

They scared.

Y'all scared the kids.

We need the regular ice cream trucks back Y'all remember when the ice cream truck used to pull up and what about the cotton candy truck?

Now when that big dog pull up, oh my gosh, talk about exciting.

They got the popcorn, they got the freezer with all of the ice cream bars, they got the cotton candy.

Man, listen, what a time, what a time.

Mahdi says church.

was nine days a week.

When we go as teenagers, my mom didn't make us go to church a lot.

My mom didn't make us either, but every time I spent the night by my friend Trinidad House, most definitely we was going to church.

I promise.

Uh, jazz said, don't mess with the good China wear.

Not at all.

I don't touch nothing in that curio cabinet.

Don't touch nothing in that China cabinet.

Um, my grandmother used to have her punch bowl set and she would only bring that out.

When it's, when it was time for Thanksgiving of Christmas, you better not go in there touching nothing.

Um, GB said, uh, the stove pressing comb.

Um, listen, that in the ultra sheen grease, a disaster.

Talk about, I got, I'm traumatized.

I am traumatized from getting my hair pressed by my auntie, Myrtle Victoria Dugar.

That lady.

Oh my gosh.

I never ever want my hair ever pressed again because of that.

I don't use a hot comb on my children hair either.

Um, GB says your shoes ain't nothing without the BK button.

That's a bar.

I might have to use that.

That's a bar.

Books full of photos.

Yes.

My family is a very traditional family.

Um, we have photo albums dating all the way back to the 1950s, right?

They all the way back.

I remember going inside the East Bay Magazine's ordering the Ken Griffey Junior Shoes, the starter jackets, all of that stuff.

It's like they have all of the exclusive material.

Pencil boxes.

Marty says we could not walk in the front room, period.

The plastic carpet runners.

That's what we was talking about earlier.

I know y'all didn't mess y'all foot up on them plastic runners.

Listen, I don't know why.

First of all, I don't know why they was created.

I don't know why our parents chose to purchase them.

But I am seeking compensation.

If you've ever been injured by the plastic carpet runner, please call 831-210-17 because you are entitled to compensation.

I have so many wounds behind that bag on plastic carpet runner and that black Jaguar table.

This is when this is 92.

Jodicy.

My mom bought me some Jodicy boots.

I had my hair done.

I had the glasses.

I had my Jodicy cassette tape.

And my cousin went and recorded over my tape.

And she was older than me.

She was a teenager.

And nothing I could do about it.

But I wanted to fight her so bad.

Why would you do that to me?

What about your CDs?

Don't let your CD get scratched.

See, that's a different kind of pain.

That's like the pain of when your record gets scratched.

When that CD, when your favorite CD got scratched, you can't play it and it's just skipping, skipping, skipping, skipping.

Heartbroken.

Heartbroken.
