S6 Ep21: News With My Fiancé - Thursday, March 26th 2026

Listen up, you are now listening to news with my fiancee.

But these are your flush and mortgage novels.

Great morning. It's a very, very great morning to be here with you guys on X-ray FM.

At what time is it now?

7.33. You know?

It's fine Portland Morning with my fine Portland partner.

Oh.

Yeah?

That's me.

Well, let me be clear, you're my partner everywhere, not just in Portland.

I was stuck at the fine park.

Okay. All right.

We should just kept it there.

What up, y'all?

Good morning.

Good morning. Good morning. Good morning.

It's cold outside.

It's supposed to be warming up this week.

This is the news you can use.

Okay.

Warmning up means this week will be 52 degrees.

Yeah, I know that it's Thursday.

Okay.

I'm excited.

Well, don't be too excited.

Because I know that you don't love the rain the way that, you know, many others do.

It's true.

And it's coming back next week.

Yeah, that's awesome.

I haven't seen any atmospheric river talk, but, you know.

You know, I don't dislike the rain.

Enough to leave.

Enough to be like, oh, I'm raining.

It's just like, hmm.

You guys get a whole lot here.

It's a grab out there.

Yeah.

And you get more than your, your share.

No, we don't.

Oh.

This is all the rain we deserve here in the old pd.

How do you expect to be lush?

Huh?

Now, okay.

Good point.

You want to live dehydrated?

You got to go somewhere.

You're right.

We were super luck.

This greenery.

This spring time is unmatched.

I just said that there's someone a couple of weeks ago.

And I was like, let me take something right now.

No one is messing with us in the spring, bruh.

Nobody can see us.

Can't see us, bruh.

I don't know what's happening with slack, but this is not what's up.

Hmm.

So yeah, I don't mind the rain.

But so you're saying it's warming up and they're going to drop back down?

Yeah, it's going to drop back down next week.

And it is going to rain.

Michelle says that we have dead air at 735.

How is this happening?

Oh, I think I see it.

I think I see it.

Now, no one can hear us, but maybe on this playback, you know,

ambush is going to fix it because he's he's a fix it guy.

You know, he's a I don't know what just happened.

Let me go take a peek at it.

And right now he's in another studio doing another thing.

You guys let us know if you can hear us now.

And I don't know what's happening with slack, but the it's completely different

and not opening the text messages correctly.

I'm going to go ahead and restart.

How'd you get Michelle's join that?

How'd you get it?

Well, I can you you can open the text, but it doesn't it's not just open.

Okay.

It's an attachment now.

Right.

Oh, right, right, right, right, right.

And I don't have enough windows for that.

I set this up.

You know, I got my I got my ways that I do this over here.

And it wasn't cooperating.

And that's yeah, I don't know what that is.

Well, we're back.

We're up.

Thank you, Michelle.

Thank you, Dibs.

Y'all is the best.

Dibs had said like we had dead air.

And we didn't come in to an absence of audio.

And okay.

Wow.

Well, that's the technical term.

It's radio speak.

That's radio absence of audio is radio speak.

I don't know.

I think I just I'm making a radio speak now.

I like it.

It's advanced radio speak.

So when I put some music on a couple minutes later, Dibs was like dead air.

And I'm like, one, there must be a delay in the text because I'm playing stuff here.

Oh, that's so interesting.

Yeah.

But what had happened was something we haven't dealt with in quite some time.

Studio designation.

Where is it?

Oh, man.

Yeah.

We didn't have to check it in so long because everything was just, you know,

we kind of got into the routine of just, yeah, everything was a studio bit.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So situations like that for anyone that may be listening to our production meeting.

What that means is anyone listening online nine times out of 10.

I think that that signal is still going out.

But the broadcast of terrestrial radio is nothing going there.

Or am I having a reverse?

But in any event, we are back.

Good morning, Billy Joe.

Billy Joe said, well, you're on the radio here.

Thank you, Billy Joe.

You made it.

And Michelle said, you did it.

You guys.

There's nothing like an incredible gold star.

Yeah.

You know, first they get a morning to man.

You give me them gold stars.

I'm dealing with the interesting situation that is, you know, being with my parents.

Their personalities are so interesting.

Yeah.

That's a way to play.

Yeah.

Challenging.

Well.

And they were before the dementia.

You know, they were challenging before.

But my mom wants, like neither one of them have ever like tried to figure out what's my

love language or how do I like to communicate?

Yeah.

I'd be too much.

Like right.

But my mom needs the gold stars.

She needs the words of affirmation.

She needs to know that you recognize you've asked her to do something.

She did do something and you recognize it.

Where exactly is my trophy?

I did participate.

I participated.

Handed it over.

The way you asked me to.

And it belongs to me.

I won.

And my dad wants you to never acknowledge.

Don't even acknowledge it.

I'm just living over here.

I don't know.

What do you want me to tell me good job eating?

Get out of my face.

That is dick right now.

And I don't know how to deal with it because it's you.

I mean, I do.

But you don't.

He doesn't want any of that.

But also I need you to know that I noticed.

Yeah.

So then there's my need.

Ah.

Like I need.

I need you to know that I see you.

I think that was great.

Yeah.

Hey.

I need that.

I need that for my own self.

Yeah.

And real clash of the Titans here.

Hello.

So I'm doing a lot of biting my lip.

Uh.

I'm.

Looks like you're reading the paper.

See you later.

Bye.

But I'm, you know, then.

Then I get to go tell Lily dad ate his whole plate.

Or whatever the thing is that I'm excited about.

But I better not tell him or he's going to go on a hunger strike.

You know, like.

Well, he told me last night.

They really got you trained.

Yeah.

I was like, well, they run a tight ship.

I got some instructions here.

I'm going to follow these to the letter.

Oh, my word.

They.

Can I take a second and just uh.

Sure.

Give one DJ ambush some flowers.

Lily and I are, you know,

or toilet away yesterday.

And.

She walks up to me and said, I rarely have my phone on me.

Like it's sitting usually in the.

Uh.

Linden closet.

And that, uh, the signal in there,

the cellular signal in that in that condo is.

Questionable.

Very questionable.

Yeah.

You might get some last week and that thing.

No literally.

All right.

All right.

What's going on?

Also, many of my texts to a group say they didn't send,

but then people start responding to it.

Right.

And it still says it didn't say.

Right.

It's like, don't need to resend it.

Yeah, but I don't want to like flood it with this gift.

Flood the zone.

Yeah.

Anyway, uh.

Oh, man.

Oh, flowers for you.

So Lily comes up to me and says, do you want to cry?

And I said, no.

Says that.

No, I don't.

There's too much time spent that way.

And she was like, but what if it's a good cry?

And I was like, I don't know what?

What, you know, and she was like, well,

we just received a text message from one DJ ambush.

That says, hey guys,

I've got an event over by you later today.

I can do dinner and night meds.

If that would be helpful to you guys.

Mm hmm.

And but I don't even know what time this was.

Well, maybe twoish.

Just something like that.

Something like that.

Yeah, it was around two.

We didn't breathe.

Just got back from the gym getting gains.

Oh, you want to get gains.

Yeah.

A mom and dad watch painting game the other day.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Maybe we can get a game and game the other day.

You remember that movie?

Mark Wahlberg in there.

Yes, it was a rock.

Yeah.

It's a Michael Bay film.

Fabulous film.

Not like.

I'm not going to call it Fabulous.

Fabulous in the way of.

Oh, those are the times I remember Michael Bay doing his thing.

Yeah.

Not like actual cinema, but I mean, I think I'd love that.

It's a cinematic moment.

Oh, yeah.

You know, my dad.

Baby Gave.

Chose the movie.

My God.

was so pumped watch the entire thing and I cannot tell you how many times my mom I heard

her say, are you watching this?

You can turn it.

They were ruining it up, right?

Yeah, that's so good.

And Tony Shaloub is in it and they kidnapped him and Tony Shaloub is monk to my mom, right?

That's doing here.

Can't kidnap monk?

Monk can't be kidnapped.

Can't kidnap a snack guy?

He's all the kids.

He's got things for that.

Yeah.

Anyway, we both started tearing up because one, every single day with that lady is hard

right now.

Yeah.

Yeah.

She is pushing it to the limit.

Yeah.

Yeah.

She's a F-15 fighter lying around.

I'm telling you.

I've never met a defiance like this.

I just can't crack her.

I just can't crack this code.

I can't break her.

And there's so much of me that's like, I should know how to do this.

Like I of all people should be able to manipulate you to do what I'm not doing.

Oh wow.

And I would not normally be thinking, how can I manipulate this person?

But she's my mom and she's manipulating me.

I need to move you into positions so you can get things done like my day.

Right.

Anyway, my after our tearing up and I was like, that's so amazing.

I was like, is this and Lily goes support?

Yeah.

Anyway, that really put us in a, I was like, I'm ready to go now, then let's go.

Let's go.

Let's crack out, guys.

Can we be done?

I'm in the middle of 18 project.

I'll leave it all.

I'm going to finish wiping this table down and we can get out of here.

We didn't do that.

Yeah, we didn't do that.

But we were both very ready to, there's just, you know, so much work to be done.

Yeah.

I wanted it to feel not that this was the intent.

But I was hoping that it felt like the teacher announcing and tomorrow we got a half day.

What?

No, it really, it really was that, but it was more like, you could have a half day today

if you want.

Right.

That's what it felt like.

It was all closing at one o'clock.

I made a point to be like, if that's helpful because I don't know what the routine is.

You know what I'm saying?

I don't know what order you guys are doing things in and I didn't want to assume that just

because I was available, not that it would be helpful.

Yeah.

It doesn't.

Bro, you don't know what the program is.

You don't know what the Wednesday night program is.

They may already be leaving at six because they've set certain things up from the day before.

You know, I just, you know, so I'm glad that was able to happen.

They would swap out for you guys.

Absolutely incredible.

And, you know, again, I thank you so kindly.

And also, sorry, you know, you're welcome.

You're all welcome.

My burns.

Morning, Phil.

Phil said, good morning, loud and clear over here.

And I am.

Good morning, Phil.

Good morning, Pete.

town.

Good morning, Pete.

Town.

Oh, man.

I am.

Give it to me.

I'm supposed to let you all know what we're talking about today.

Yeah.

Let me do that because some of the, okay, these stories are wild.

Yeah.

It's gonna be a fun show.

We are going to talk about some of the war time that we're in, you know, are we going

to, are we going to dodge the draft together or we know we're going to talk about some

of the, well, you know, most reason as of the midnight last night, who knows today is

a whole new day.

Yeah.

Um, we're also going to talk about a decades of misdeeds from Dr. DuBad as you don't

like my play on do little.

I just didn't know who we're talking about.

There's a former pediatrician in St. Louis, who was the trading scripts.

Oh, that guy for, uh, SEX and sexy picks, I'll take a couple of bits for this script

or you to just pay me, you know, three ways to get your script over here, a couple of

other ways you can pay me, um, and then did a Hawaii doctor take his wife for a death

hike?

Incredible.

I'm not sure what I should say about this, ambush is the one who brought me this story.

So I don't know if he's trying to tell me something, but, uh, absolutely not.

I did.

Why, uh, any go to break, um, there's a trial happening right now, a, uh, anesthesiologist

man, that heart, that word is so hard and both it, um, allegedly tried to push his wife

off a cliff in Hawaii on a hike, cheese.

And I was listening to the trial yesterday last night, listening to her testimony and there's

just really no, no, that's not what I meant to say, sorry, let me rewind that.

You defense attorneys forget who they're talking to sometimes, like I was going to say

it's got to be hard for, you know, to question someone that you are disagreeing with, right?

Or that you want to impeach their, uh, testimony, right?

But my word, this is a person who has, there's photos of her face bashed in the, and he's

like, you didn't have any fractures, right?

Oh my God.

So what, how I was about to start was there's no good way to question, you know, a victim

of physical or sexual assault or, you know, and no, that's not true.

There are good ways to question people.

There are, uh, also adversarial ways to question people and it definitely was that energy.

That's what it sounds like, but did he kill you?

Literally, I mean, you're still like, you're still alive.

So like, should we even be here like, yes, so you went to the hospital, you didn't have

any fractures, right?

It's like men aren't lying.

At all.

Wow.

So those are the things we'll talk about later, but ambush, you gave the perfect segue

there.

All right.

Did you not mean to?

Because you don't have to.

I did.

I didn't mean to.

But I think I know where you're going.

Did you happen to see?

And this is going to be a much longer conversation.

So I, I don't know when we'll do it, but we got to do a views.

Yeah.

One, we got some of you.

We're backed up on views.

One Sean Carter, otherwise known as Jay Z, otherwise known as Hove, otherwise known

as Beyonce's husband, yep, and Blue Ivy's dad, yep.

He did an interview with GQ.

I don't know exactly what the rollout is for.

I'm assuming an album is coming.

He has not made that statement, but what he said in the GQ interview was 2025 was the year

of defense.

In 2026 is the year of offense for one young Hove, old Hove billionaire, old Hove, the

billionaire.

He's updated his, uh, went back to his original spelling for the night.

Yeah.

Bought everything.

Yeah, with the little johns above it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

There's a name for that.

I think it starts with the G.

Yep.

And it's not grommet.

John.

John does not start with the G.

It doesn't.

Why would you say that?

Why would you confuse people?

Yesterday.

Give me.

I'm in Washington.

Okay.

Driving to, I see a man with a wawa sweatshirt.

Why was I going to guess a wawa thing?

I was like, really?

I saw a wawa.

Really?

Yes.

Fabulous.

It was fabulous.

I want the sweatshirt also.

I was like, man.

It was just the, the, the bird, wawa, wawa.

Yeah.

It was just the logo.

Like it.

Wow.

That's fire.

But I was just like in Washington.

I mean, in Vancouver, I don't mean in Washington.

The state's big.

There's not.

All right.

In the cool.

But specifically where, where my parents live, it feels very much like a small town.

Not because it's like, not busy or populated.

It's just I see everybody from their condo everywhere else everywhere else.

If I'm a Walgreens, so is that guy that lives at the condo.

If I, you know what I mean?

Yeah.

Like I see everybody everywhere.

Yeah.

That's funny.

Anyway.

Um, yeah.

So Jay-Z comes out.

He's got a thing.

Jay Cole comes out.

He's got stuff to talk about.

It's theories of interviews.

It's almost like he dropped an album.

Mm-hmm.

Two months ago and did zero press for that.

And then was like, oh crap, you had to press.

Mm-hmm.

Sit down with some people.

Sit down with some folks.

I should probably go have some conversations.

I don't want to talk about drink.

No.

And then all he's talking about is Drake and Kendrick and, you know, um, I don't know.

His brother's something.

I'm going to the camera, um, I'm not watching that.

Mm-hmm.

Nothing to watch.

Nothing to watch.

Don't worry about it.

And then Usher.

One Usher Raymond.

Now y'all might be like Morgan, you just said that these people came out and had interviews.

And you're right.

So far, that's all I've said.

Usher is in an interview for Forbes or something.

Yeah.

I think so.

In which it did, for whatever reason, I'm not sure what he's got coming up and needs

to be interviewed about outside of a Las Vegas, you know, residency, like you, you work

in.

Is there a new album?

What is this press run for nothing?

Anyway, they gave him the opportunity to explain why he loves Sean Diddy-Kohm's do-mitch.

And I'm just going to say, like I said, this is a much longer conversation to have.

But the men are not lonely enough.

The men are doing nothing but complaining out here.

And then also siding with every loser, dude, and abuser, dude.

Epstein, too.

No, the Russell.

Yeah, it's really disappointing.

Eight-off, too.

It's really disappointing.

In the camera on interview, he asked Jay Cole about the fight with Diddy to happen in

the club, you know, speak on that.

And is this the one that Drake was involved with, or is this the one Jay Cole was?

Jay Cole.

I'm not sure.

But Cole was like, you know, I was, I was ready to talk about that, you know, not just

here, but I was ready to talk about it, but I didn't want to, you know, kick him when

he was down.

I was kicking him out, I was done.

You know, it happened in 2013.

What are you talking about?

Take him all, he's down.

Here's the thing for me.

Did anybody care that he was kicking Cassie while she was down?

That's where I was going.

I'm sorry.

No, no, no, no, no, not that specific, not that specific instance, but this is the point,

right?

Kicking a person while they're down is an understandable statement.

I get it.

You don't want to kick a person when they're down.

Why are we applying rules for people for monsters?

When a monster is down, I think everyone has seen in movies, you don't take the break.

You continue to kick them because you don't want that monster to get back up.

Um, that don't care about Diddy's feelings, spare nothing, spare nothing for this man.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm going to kick him when he's

down.

What do you think that sends?

What message does that send to your fans?

Hmm.

What message does that send to someone like me who's on the fence of, I've never even listened

to you again.

I don't want to kick this monster of a person, this monster while they're down.

This person who fought to proclaim their innocence until the video dropped.

We got to say this reviews, but just like, come on, man, so the usher thing and for usher,

it brought up the whole usher saying what he said about Diddy, it brought back the fact

that he went to go see Russell Simmons and do yoga with him.

Exactly.

And it's like, I never forgot.

Where he is running to a place he won't be extradited.

I'm talking Russell Simmons, not usher.

Where he won't be extradited for the sex crimes that he is alleged to have committed.

Shout out to Dibbs, he said, even you somehow I knew that was you, Dibbs, and that, like

I had to literally, I read it and had to put my hand, both hand over my mouth while

ambush was talking, because I didn't want to interact, even you, damn, I'm so mad at

the Russell, this is just so, this is silly, mad's the wrong way, I'm so disappointed.

Anyway, thank you for getting that off, ambush, I do just want to give a little more context

to the usher thing, usher says, you know, I'm not saying that every man is perfect, guys,

I'm not saying that all of us don't have flaws, but I can't, with any sense of humanity,

not recognize the valuable contributions this man made for us as black entrepreneurs, for

us as businessmen, for us as people who transition culture and ideas into something that's

tangible and becomes business.

So many people benefited from what he created, and I acknowledge that.

What I hear is he is so amazing, he is so good at business at capitalism, he's such a

good business guy, he's so good at business.

I don't really, I can't look into those misrepresentations of him and his character.

Have you seen his businessery?

Her top notch.

Erscher, please, please.

What are you doing?

The men who continue to find inspiration in harmful men are consistently self-reporting.

That's a way to put it.

You're finding inspiration in harmful men.

Because what do you mean I can't in all humanity recognize that I can't not recognize that he's

really good at business.

Be for real for once, please.

For once, you are talking about your humanity and how it would literally rip you to shreds.

If you were not able to say this man is great at business, all while not at all acknowledging

the fact that this person is on camera, you could not believe any of the rest of it.

But this man is on camera beating a woman.

He's great at assault.

He's really great at assault.

Could you recognize that?

Can you identify that?

Like, I cannot believe that the scales of legacy for this man is like, oh, big boy boss energy or beat him up in hallways.

And I don't even have to look at that.

I don't even have to think about it.

I got to make sure this man gets credit for doing business.

Are you going to even recognize all of the people that he stole from?

Are you going to recognize the business man that he is where he just robbed every artist he possibly could?

Right.

What about the...

That's the legacy.

That's the...

That is the real legacy.

The real legacy is this man wasn't a producer.

This man was a...

Hey, you should put...

What...

I like this sample.

What...

What could we do with that?

TVJ.

There's something...

You listen to the X-ray FM at KXRI Portland at 91.1.

And 107.1 FM.

And then the HALM Wheeler, Maznita, Rockaway Beach at 91.7 FM.

She went online everywhere at xray.fm.

There's something...

There's something very sinister in using the phrase kick a male while he's down for someone like Diddy.

Yes.

Someone like Arkelli or someone like Bill Cosby or Epstein.

Yes.

Why is he down?

Why is he downstairs about that?

Right.

But also like framing it as someone who something has happened to.

Life has dealt this person an unfair hand.

Yep.

He's just down.

So you mean to tell me that accountability is the equivalent of someone being down?

Yes.

Accountability...

Any form of justice.

Any form of responsibility.

Any form of responsibility.

Taking responsibility for your actions in any way.

Down.

Man, he's...

Hell.

He's at a low point.

Right.

Yeah.

Diddy's at a low point.

Consequences?

Wow.

Wow.

This is a person who...

These things...

They could be delegations to some.

I watch too much of that trial.

He kidnaps people.

He breaks in houses.

He blows up cars.

Right.

He holds people at gunpoint.

He robbed again.

Robbed every artist that he signed.

For anyone that like might not understand the scope of that.

For the amount of hits and the type of success that bad boy records had.

Boy.

To rob their artists.

For him to rob the artists for their publishing.

He handicapped so many families.

Chances at generational wealth.

Period.

Take the general...

Period.

Like he handicapped.

So like upward mobility.

He took...

He clipped people's knees out from under them.

I...

You are not wrong, but it is...

Don't go past the fact that they never had a shot.

So that he could have generational wealth.

Right.

They didn't have a shot.

They died broke.

Yeah.

So many of them.

Craig Mack died broke.

Black rob died broke.

These...

With nothing.

These are hit makers.

These are...

They're the reason he had an entire...

Reputation for being able to do what he did.

Yeah.

They died completely destitute.

This is a person's legacy that must be protected.

And for me, this is where I'm at.

Usher cares more for puffs legacy than puff ever did.

Right.

Anybody out here saying,

Don't kick a man when he said,

Oh, don't do this.

You care more for his legacy than he does.

Right.

Same thing for Jay-Z and Jay Cole out here.

Like, it's just...

Don't want there what happened to Drake.

As if Drake has no idea that he was a part of it.

That he doesn't know that he started it.

That he doesn't know that he's been pushing and prodding and egging that on.

So to see the people who are actually talented,

who are actually good at...

You know what I'm saying?

Like, champion the loser of a rep battle so much so that Jay-Z is like,

Should we even battle?

I don't know, guys.

It's getting pretty personal.

I don't know, guys.

Getting pretty like a...

Not you, sir.

I can't wait to cover this one of you because I have a...

I need to be able to cast.

Yeah.

And I have a...

Certainly.

And I have a...

I have a theory that what we're seeing here,

the Drake campaigning...

Yeah.

It's based in colorism.

And I'm going to expand, expand, expand upon that.

Nothing needs to be said to be.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I believe it, baby.

Baby goes out.

Right.

The dibs that businessry is now in my lexicon.

Yeah.

Billy, just...

I saw the clip of the beating with that woman.

That woman took.

And it was shocking.

And thank you both for enlightening me more with your discussion.

Yeah.

Shocking for sure.

A supremely unsettling.

And the immediate reaction for, I think,

for a lot of us, was like something has to be done now.

Especially, again, after the way he played in our face

and said that no sort of thing never, never happened.

Absolutely unequivocally didn't happen.

Phil said, I think this is Phil.

Yeah, it's Phil.

I think Usher might be speaking to an audience of one

to say something so dumb.

It's a direct message to Puff in my opinion.

Good point.

I fully agree.

Good point.

I mostly agree.

Because things like this are campaigns.

Yeah.

This is propaganda.

Yeah.

This is just...

Puff could have said the interview up.

Exactly.

This is just trying to whitewash, you know,

what has happened with him and what he's done.

And I always, you know, that conversation of an audience of one,

I think is such an interesting thing to do

when you can talk to that person.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, you can talk to Puff.

Yeah.

You don't need to have this conversation out loud with us.

You can say it directly to him.

You can say it directly to him.

And what you're saying is that you love respect

and cherish this man.

Yeah.

Why wouldn't you say that?

Yeah.

You know what I'm saying?

Say that to your bud.

He's down bad, right?

He's in prison, right?

A letter.

It's a stroke of bad luck.

You know?

It's a stroke of bad luck for this guy.

Yeah.

It's just nothing but, you know,

hit after hit with this one.

Down and out.

Oh.

The card he's been dealt.

You're showing up.

I just don't understand that outside of

you're trying to get us to also feel that way.

You want other people to go,

yeah, really great.

Right.

He did so many entrepreneurs.

Yeah.

Look how successful Lusher is.

That's got to count for something.

And it can count for something.

It cannot count more than beat women in hotel hallways.

It can't.

It can't.

And it can't count.

What does it say about the businessman

who shelves the woman artists for 10 years?

Right.

What does it say about that?

Like, he was, he was shelving artists.

He was taking.

That's right.

Left and right.

But he was women very specifically

that he didn't want anyone else in the industry

to get to touch or something.

I'm going to take her under my wing.

Parker right here.

I'm a Parker right here.

Parker.

I'm going to pull career right here.

Right here on this shelf.

Sit here, baby.

You're on a pedestal.

You're on bad boy.

You're on bad boy now.

No album.

No feature.

All you do is freak offs now.

It's a whole different.

Yeah.

Like the entire business model has changed.

We no longer really make it.

We do other things.

Right.

It just seems so ridiculous.

Like, who are the people?

And what is Usher's wife saying?

Like, what do you mean?

You needed to jump out the window and say that today?

I am in arguments with other men in the community,

men in my circle.

I've made it clear like we cannot erase the contributions

that Bill Cosby made to our community,

to the community at large.

But that is a separate conversation.

No one, as a matter of fact,

no one is trying to erase what he's meant to accomplish.

You guys are having a conversation that no one else is having.

No one else is having.

So if you can put that down long enough for us to be having

the same conversation, that would be awesome.

That would be great.

But they don't want to have the conversation.

It is the same exact thing that LaRussell is doing right now.

Yeah.

You're having a conversation and you're going on interviews

and telling everybody answering questions like

who that man is.

You are not having the conversation that your community is having with you

and you are refusing to do it.

It's the same thing.

Yeah.

Yeah.

The topics are different.

The topics are different.

I don't know how Jay-Z doesn't get asked the question of

who was better in that battle.

Right.

What are the memorable songs for you?

Do you remember Drake saying that the control verse was cool

but no one knows anything that it says?

You don't wrap it.

No one's going to really remember it.

This is something that has been the hitch in his crawl

for his whole career.

And he is able to say that kind of thing

and have a conversation that nobody else is having

be upset about things that didn't happen

or that you shouldn't be upset about.

And somehow he is a victim in a game he started.

And this happens because people don't challenge.

They don't push back.

They don't push back on these ridiculous false realities

that not just these artists are creating

but the same thing with our politicians.

We watch the exact same thing.

It was things like this, especially around the Trump's first term

that really like catapulted me away from mainstream media

because all of the mainstream media outlets

that we just depended on for our news for decades

presented with an opportunity to ask very simple questions.

Presented with an opportunity to draw very simple conclusions.

Someone who lies this much is a liar by definition.

It's not hard.

But they would not call him a liar until it was like

I keep used every word for lie.

Every other word they could possibly find.

And then finally, who is it?

Kellyanne, alternative facts?

No.

I don't know why Tucker is popping in my head.

It's not Tucker.

I don't know.

I'll come back to you later.

But definitely do from CNN.

Oh, CNN.

Yeah.

You said Tucker.

I know.

But I'm saying Tucker's name popped in my head.

And it's not that I think the syllables

were what made Tucker pop in my head.

Wolf Blitzer.

I love Wolf Blitzer.

Okay.

I don't know what part of the story you're going to.

I don't know what's going on.

But finally, I heard him say it.

Blonde, dude.

He's in the movies a lot whenever they cut the CNN.

And he's usually the correspondent they have coming in.

Chetan.

Oh, wow.

You're bringing up some names.

I forgot.

But anyways.

And none of them are right.

No.

Okay.

But he finally said he called him a liar.

And then the fact that he called him a liar was like,

oh, Rick goes across the media.

And it was like, what are we doing?

What are we doing?

What are we doing?

I don't have time for this.

This non-belief in science has now went on to English.

I don't, I can't stand this.

I'm not here for this foolishness.

Oh, man.

Like, come on.

Get out of here, man.

Real quick.

Good morning, AJ.

Good morning, AJ.

I don't know who this one is.

Yeah.

I don't know either.

Came in mid-convo.

Did LaRussell blow it?

Boy did LaRussell blow it.

What is he trying to?

Yeah.

Like with all his might.

Definitely.

This Monday was the last Monday we covered it.

I think it was this Monday.

This Monday.

Definitely check out this Monday show on the podcast.

That is up.

The video version is not up yet, but the audio version is definitely up.

Yeah.

LaRussell, he, the move he made, I wouldn't have initially said he blew it.

Yeah.

It's all the responses and the way he's carried the conversation since.

He's blowing it big, big bad.

He's responding as a, you know, the arrogance is wild.

Yeah.

He missed a call in for a call out.

Yeah.

And he is read.

He is misdirecting his angst and frustrations that he's had with people who have always doubted

him and been his haters.

He's misdirecting that to his fans.

Actual core audience.

And the thing about LaRussell fans are because of the type of content LaRussell's been

putting out in the music and just the collaborations, he has built a very supportive fan base that

likes to be happy and enjoy life.

Like it's, it's one thing like I really like this person usually pick really good beats.

No, no, no, you go to LaRussell when you're having a bad day and you want to smile about

something.

You want to detach from whatever is going on and you hear his laugh and you see a video

with him and some kids and all of a sudden it's like, man, sunshine on the atmosphere

of River Day.

Right.

It really, so that's the type of connection he's created and type of community he's developed

around his, his, his music and his, his artistry.

He's talking to those people like they've always had it out for him.

Yeah.

And I don't know like, and that they're stupid, and that we're stupid, that we're, y'all

don't get it.

You're stupid.

Yeah.

If only you were as smart as me, thank you Phil Anderson Cooper, that's thank you so much

Phil.

That's exactly what I'm talking about.

Oh my God.

Wow.

God.

Sorry.

Phil, you're right, but he's been a silver fox since he was born.

It's true.

Oh yeah.

Oh yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, this says black Harlow is so happy.

Larussel came out.

Haha.

I feel again.

That's feel again.

Yep.

Is that even happening at the same time?

Happy at the same time.

Happy at the same time.

Larussel just hadn't responded so badly yet.

He had just dropped the, oh my God.

My engineer told me not to put this out, but I'm going to do it even.

I'm going to do it anyway, because you know, everybody's having sent.

The funniest thing to me is that he has this posture of, I'm the smart one, y'all are

so stupid, but he cannot understand what even you're trying to say.

This fake deep like everybody was created by God is what he's going for, but not everybody

is sent from heaven, right?

No.

Like, that's not how that works.

No.

Sorry.

I don't think they tell you that.

Yeah.

They don't.

You deciding that that's what it means does not make everybody else stupid.

No.

You're saying it wrong.

And his entire point for the folks that missed it was God created everybody, even the bad

ones.

You know, the great people, the greats at everything, and then the awful people and the monsters.

And isn't that while God created all of us, I mean, that didn't have something to think

about.

You guys thought experiment.

You want to travel down right now, because I just thought of it.

And so obviously no one's ever done that before.

No one's ever thought it.

God, I feel so full.

It feels ludicrous to say it.

It really does.

But the way that he was going about it is that like literally my man had a high thought.

You know what I'm saying?

Like you just, you smoked the entire one.

And then you were like, bro, so Epstein's from heaven too, fam.

Right.

Like, what?

Eight off and Donald too.

And then, but yeah, I should probably make a song about it because that's what LaRustle

does.

He's making an album a day basically.

Yeah.

He's pumping out music.

So like, not shocking that you're going to have misses, but this kind of, you know, position

in stance when you are literally, that was a call in.

People were like, come over here, not right now.

Not right now.

Don't say things like that right now.

This is not the point that you think you're making.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

Many weeks that was, but like just weeks ago, though, that there were victims of Epstein at

that hearing.

Yeah.

And old girl wouldn't even turn around and look, no, not even now.

So here you go like Epstein too, eight off to a homie, everybody having a homie of

life.

We were going back and forth under a post that showed one of the videos.

And let's take, let's take the actual thing he said out of it, right?

You have an audience, your point as an artist is to cultivate, you know, love and adoration

and maintain a wonderful relationship with your audience.

If, if three out of the five people, you're going to do a representation of the audience

here.

If three out of five, which is the majority, the majority, not great in math, but I do

know that is saying, hmm, I understand what you're saying, but my feelings got hurt.

Let's, let's, let's, let's skew it in a little Russell's favor.

If just two out of five said that, right?

Shouldn't that be enough for you to say, you know what, let me take a, let me take a

beat.

Let's take a beat.

Let's pause because it's not like, you know, your president Trump and your only president

for MAGA, you're the president for everybody.

This is your entire fan base.

This is your, that, much of your fan base has the issue with what you're saying.

You won't pause for a second.

And I'd venture to say that the rest of the fan base are children, so right.

You won't pause for a second to be like, maybe I got it wrong, maybe, you know, instead

it's when he was asked very clearly, do you think you handled any of that incorrectly?

Would you do it all the exact same way?

And said, yeah, I would, I would change nothing I did.

I gotta say shout out to DJ head, shout out to Gina views.

They try.

Effective immediately is their show.

I love their, their chemistry, their chemistry is fantastic.

Gina views is a fantastic voice.

Like she, I love her.

Yeah.

And she asked like, you don't think you, do you think you handled this the right,

or did you, did you handle this wrong?

He says no.

She says, at all, he's like, no, she's like, maybe in the response.

He's like, no, he's, like, she just tried, she's not going, okay, well, how about this

part?

He's like, no, DJ head says, do you have somebody who can talk to you and tell you you

tripping when, in moments where you could be driven, in moments where you could be tripping?

And he was like, well, first of all, Gina, hella funny, he was like, yeah, his engineer,

I want to tell him how to do it, yeah.

But he's like, yeah, and he goes, all right, so what did that person say?

And his response was, these people are stupid.

And this is, this is the thing that is going to get me every time.

You telling your version of the story to your person who tells you what happened, or

you know, like, to give you the moment to do some self reflection.

Your version of the story ain't going to be the story.

Your version of the story is already biased, LaRussell, you're already saying these people

don't get it.

They're, I'm an artist.

You can't mess with my art.

You can't, I can't change my art to make you comfortable, right?

And nobody's asking you to, that's the wild part.

You are having a conversation, no one else is having.

You are answering questions, no one is asking.

No one is asking you to, can even constrain yourself.

No, not at all.

We're asking you to have some consideration for your audience.

But also, if this is the way, this is your move, this was, you were so moved, you had

to say this, this is my art, there's a different way you respond to your audience when it doesn't

hit.

Right.

Your art didn't land.

And isn't everybody else not, all of a sudden, all these people who have always understood,

all these people who have had no problem understanding what you were saying or what you were

getting at are now all simultaneously stupid.

You're just stupid.

Oh, y'all just don't get it.

Okay.

Okay.

Impossible for you to be wrong.

That is the biggest red flag in the world to me.

And someone says, I refuse to look at myself and my actions right now.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, big huge hard pass.

I want no parts.

That's enough for me.

Yeah.

That's a huge red flag.

That tells me, that tells me what the future can hold.

That tells me what the future holds, it also gives me a glimpse into your past.

Yeah.

Because how do people who believe that don't treat other people well on average, you know

what I'm saying?

In general.

So you may have some great interactions with this person.

You may be usher, who the only reason he apparently is an entrepreneur is because Diddy helped

him do that.

Right.

Right.

That means absolutely nothing to the grand scheme.

Mornin C's, C said Mornin fam, there are too many, there are too busy drinking the

Kool-Aid to speak out.

And yeah, like you just said about usher, that's pretty much it.

Just, you know, extreme businessery is, it's going to surpass everything.

Bill said, I saw someone in the culture United last night, say that Russell apologized

for the Wayne thing when he had that right and doubled down on the Epstein thing when

he is misunderstanding heaven sent.

But I'm happy with it all because it's all a city.

You know what?

I didn't get to see culture United in its entirety yet, but I did get to catch some of

it.

And that, that idea that he apologized for saying that little Wayne didn't have substance

during a time, like it wasn't even like his whole career, he never read about nothing.

Right.

He was right about that.

Yeah.

During the time when Wayne was ears deep and substance abuse, when my man is nothing but

coding, your body makeup was just activist, like, yeah, you weren't saying anything.

You weren't, you weren't sober, you weren't saying you weren't here with us.

So, Russell was right about that.

Absolutely apologizes because he offended a man.

I mean, that's my own take there.

And this, where it's like, but I'm right about Epstein.

But I'm right about this.

This is my art.

You can't take it from me.

I am an artist.

This is my job.

This is what I'm supposed to do.

Do you reflect the times?

Do you think you're doing that?

Do you think right now is the time that we need to ask, should, you know, aren't all monsters

born from the same guy and monsters all coming from the same place as the human angels?

Grow up.

You want Epstein survivors.

You want to remind them in a moment while they're seeking justice.

While they're watching their government hide, actively hide and, and, and make escape routes

for people who participated.

You want them to come to the realization and understanding that the same God that created

them, created their abuser.

Russell, explain like, and for what?

Because that is the point you want to make.

Yes.

That you think we're all missing, all of us are missing, it's huge, great reality

breaking idea.

It's no one's heard of this before.

And now that you've made that point, what's the rest of the syllabus looking like?

What are we talking about here?

What's the use?

What's the point and then what now that you've said it now that you landed, you got your

art off.

Now what?

What was the point?

You know, it also sounds like, it sounds like a conversation he, one thing, definitely

a high thought.

The other thing it sounds like is this is a conversation he's had with someone he respects

and doesn't want to back down on that point.

Like it sounds like, it sounds like someone he respects, I'm not putting any fingers,

someone he may have had lunch or dinner with, expressed a point similar to this, well

you know, at the end of the day, and he was like, hmm, I mean, you right, I, hmm.

So this is what taken the meeting with Jay-Z instead of the $100,000 looks like?

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I do conspire about theories.

And when you say something, that's the business read that I'm in.

And when you say something like this and you refuse to back down, I'm thinking about

what you and dibs were talking about earlier, was that Phil talking about audience of one.

You're choosing not to back down despite what all your fans and followers are saying,

a great majority of them anyway.

Yeah.

For who?

Who was, who was that statement for?

Who was the initial statement for?

Who was the audience for that?

Like, I, I mean, legitimately would love to know.

Guys, you're going to catch a much media version of this conversation on views of my fiance.

I think we got to find some time this weekend because we are backed up on subjects.

We are.

We are very excited to get this stuff off and get it to our audience.

Music break?

Oh, before music break, you got some, some upcoming events.

Oh, that, yeah, so a couple of things.

Healthcare for all organ is spending April doing town halls all over the state.

If you are struggling at all of it, how would that work?

How would we transition into something like that?

These town hall events are how you get information immediately and you get to ask questions, find

some, if they don't have the information, you know, you get, you can walk away with more

than just here and us tell you about it later.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So, I don't have every date, but the first one is in Portland, April 8th at PCC Cascade

at the Moriarty Auditorium PCC is on strike right now, so, you know, I don't know if that

changes or not, but this is the kind of thing that a lot of folks just miss.

And then when it's time to vote on it, they're like, what do you mean healthcare is

wrong?

That's my first time here.

You do that.

We need this.

We need universal healthcare universally, but we understand that the current administration

federally is looking to destroy every safety net that any person that is not, you know,

a 50 to 100 millionaire up and up, they're looking to destroy and they're, the rebuilding

that they want to do does not include us.

And it doesn't include us being having any sort of healthcare, having any sort of safety

net.

No.

No.

Doesn't.

So, shout out to those in the state that are trying to make this happen.

And I definitely want to make sure that we are tuned in to at least the dates that are

happening.

You've been at date one more time.

April 8th from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Moriarty Morgan Auditorium PCC Cascade.

And that is the very first town hall for healthcare for all Oregon.

And this is just, you know, healthcare reform town halls that are trying to inform us and

get us to know what's going on.

Come on, man.

And I have one more before we go to the thing this Sunday.

Sunday.

Sunday.

Sunday.

Sunday.

Sunday Sunday.

It's going down, you guys.

I don't know if y'all have ever heard of this little event that happens.

One Sunday a month by one DJ ambush and DJ Cliff, the no request DJs.

The gentle fellows are going to, and shout out to y'all because sometimes, you know, there's

a thing that people do and they're like, I love doing this party.

And then that's just that.

And you guys continue to evolve and continue to add and continue to put stuff that's more

meaningful into a place.

Appreciate that.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Um, it's been, you know, March has been the lady's addition because March is women's

history.

And that's the only time that we listen to women rappers just get egg and anyway, uh,

ladies first.

It's happening.

Yeah.

The rapping rappers at white eagle, yeah, six to nine, yeah, this Sunday, yeah, white

eagle is on Russell, North Russell, Russell, not to be confused with low Russell.

It's North Russell, um, yeah, that's it for now.

We're playing all the women MCs all night long from six to nine p.m.

Bahamadia from six to nine.

I saw someone the other day say, how come nobody really mentions Bahamadia when it comes

to women rappers?

And I was like, who doesn't mention Bahamadia?

Everyone mentioned.

No, I understand.

No, I'm, we're, we're reaching into our, yeah, our age card, bad, uh, but that voice

is to move the flows or the ridiculous, like, I don't even know what should be talking

about.

Right.

That's not, that's not a name that you say.

How come Eternia?

How come no one mentions Eternia when they talk about women rappers?

Listen, you're not going to talk about anybody from Philly and be like, you're just not

putting them in the conversation.

Yeah.

I feel like Philly's most of the conversation.

How are they doing that?

They're not doing that.

They're not doing that.

All right, we're going to hop into a music break.

This was a very, uh, exciting first half.

We've done, we've done no news.

And you know what?

Hope you don't get fired.

If you're welcome.

Welcome back, welcome back to do some of the y'all say with Morgan Jones and DJ Ambers

right here on X-ray FM.

We're in the conversation.

She was the text at 971-220-597-9.

Again, that is 971-220-597-9.

Shout out to everyone that has been texting with us this morning.

AJ, Phil, C's, Billy Joe, Dibs, Michelle, shout, shout, shout outs to y'all.

The person who asked, I came in mid-convo did the Russell Blowett shout out to you as well.

Yeah.

Shout out to Pete Town.

One of my, one of my girlfriends, shout out to Alyssa.

List was like, is this going to ruin his career when the Russell said whatever he's beginning?

And I was like, I mean, it's, I don't, I don't know, but the way he's responding is not,

not looking great.

No, it's not career positive.

It's not career positive and it's just continued.

I just don't understand, I, I am here for the, I'm independent.

I don't have a boss.

The audience is your boss, do keep that on the old brainel unit.

I don't have a boss.

I get to do what I want.

Maybe he doesn't have a PR person, although signing a distribution deal with rock nation.

I think maybe you just get someone to tell you to shut up sometime.

Yeah.

Someone that said you hop off your social media.

Right.

It's not a good example of business business to read for sure.

No, not at all.

Now, we've got three different stories and it looks like you have potentially queued one

up.

I did.

And I don't know.

I look mischievous.

Right.

I'm sorry.

There is a story that I really, really want you to cover with the time that we have left.

Okay.

And it's definitely take a hike.

It's definitely take a hike.

Now you may have something else queued up that you prefer to cover.

That's literally the one.

That's what you got on your screen.

Yeah.

Wow.

Use guys.

Symbiotic.

Yes.

You know, boom.

Oh.

Oh.

Guys, if this is your first time hearing about this story, it's a big one.

All right.

If you want to say this next story starts like a birthday trip.

And then it turns into something straight out of horror organ.

Shout out to Rudo.

Shout out to Rudo.

It's a nightmare.

This kind of follows the theme of the show, though.

It's almost like Morgan does some men on some other issue, a producer of a fantastic

show.

Well, go ahead.

The heck on.

You know, give me that flower.

Oh, my God.

I'm going.

Women's history, math.

Come on.

Let's go.

I love the gold star.

Liberated.

Okay.

Less than a half.

So right now there's an attempted murder trial happening involving a Maui doctor, an

anesthesiologist named Gerhard Konig and his wife, Ariel Konig, who just took the stand

and walked the jury through what she says happened to her on her birthday.

On her birthday, fam.

Last year.

On her birthday.

So picture this, Sicily, 19, 22, but last year, March 24th, 2025, I don't know if you

all know this.

Today's the 26, 20, 26, right.

So literally a year ago, they're in Hawaii on Oahu, doing a scenic hike along this cliffside

trail.

And please every Pacific Islander, please do not hate me for mispronouncing.

I think it's Pali Puka trail.

It's supposed to be a birthday trip.

But Ariel says from the jump, she was uneasy.

At one point, the trail gets steep, like cliff edge, one wrong move, and it's over type

steep.

And she tells him she doesn't feel safe going any higher.

Eventually, they take a photo together near the edge anyway, a little couple selfie moment.

And that's when everything shifts.

She says she asked him to step aside so she could move away from the edge safely.

And instead, he grabbed her, not playfully, not joking.

She said he grabs her arms, starts cursing, and tells her to get back over here.

And at first, she thinks he might be giving.

Very quickly, it becomes clear he is not.

She says he starts pushing her towards the cliff.

So what does she do?

She drops to the ground.

Good job, Ariel.

Grabbing on to trees and trebs, literally anchoring herself so she doesn't go over.

And now we're in a full struggle.

He climbs on top of her.

And this is where it gets more disturbing.

So if it already thought that I said some weird stuff, you know, ear muffed the babies.

She says that he pulled out a syringe.

After that, he's an anesthesiologist with a syringe on a remote hiking trail at the

cliff's edge.

And he tells her to hold still.

Bruh.

I'm sorry.

Hold still.

So you can put me under so you can push me over.

Fam.

Hold still?

No.

So now she's fighting for her life in every way possible.

She's screaming, biting, grabbing, doing whatever she can to stop him.

And he's telling her, shut that up.

Nobody's going to hear you.

No one's coming to save you.

That's nasty.

That's that intention.

That's real nasty.

Yeah.

That's not confusion.

That's not panic.

That is full blown.

That is a person thinking that they are in control of the entire situation.

So she tries something else and she starts talking about their kids.

She tells them if you do this, our kids will be orphans.

And for a moment, she says that he pauses like it might have meant something.

But then he picked up a rock and starts beating her in the head with the rock repeatedly.

So we had to do that because she wouldn't hold still.

And in her not holding still, the syringe broke.

Yeah.

So now he's like, crap.

Whatever I'm going to do.

That was my weaponry.

She ends up with severe scalp lacerations.

There's a significant scar.

And the only reason this story doesn't end differently is because somebody did hear her.

Two hikers nearby heard the screaming, one of them called 911.

And the moment he realizes they're not alone, she said that he froze.

And that was her opening.

She crawls away bleeding slowly finds those hikers and they help her down the trail.

Did you see the footage of that?

Her getting help down the trail, getting gauze that like they immediately, I think the

hikers end up being nurses, they weren't hiked together.

Yes, they were nurses.

And a lot of hikers, especially on more dangerous trails, have, you know, a solid first-aid

kit with them because, you know, you're a roll and ankle or, you know what I'm saying?

Yeah.

They were on it immediately.

I'm happy to see that.

And the 911 call those hikers are saying they see a man trying to kill a woman whose face

is covered in blood.

Now, I know right now, fiancee, you're like, well, what was he saying?

He's pleaded not guilty, his defense is claiming self-defense, saying he thought she was trying

to push him off the cliff first.

And that's why he struck her with the rock.

And now that's what the jury is going to be asked to sort out, I suppose, but, uh, back

to the context because this didn't come out of nowhere.

Ariel testified that about three months before this happened, he found out she had been

having what she called an emotional affair with a coworker.

They had begun going to counseling, trying to repair things.

And from the outside, she says it looked like they were making progress.

But clearly something was still brewing under the surface.

There are reports tied to this case suggesting extreme jealousy and even allegations of ongoing

abuse leading up to this moment, though those details are still being examined in court

and they're still, you know, uh, that other layer, though, the morning of the attack,

he gave her a birthday card.

And in court, when his attorneys showed her that card, that's when she broke down.

And honestly, like, please imagine that you start your birthday with a card from your

husband and end it fighting for your life on the side of a cliff with the same person.

So she's alive because she fought back, that getting low to the ground is how she's

alive.

Heck yeah.

I'm going to, you know, uh, and she was, she bit his general.

Amazing.

So by one state.

Yeah.

Just getting that low to the ground so you can't be moved.

That's the.

Yeah.

And then bite whatever you can get your teeth on.

Seriously.

Doesn't matter what it is.

Yeah.

This isn't bad.

You know, you know, nobody's on baddies.

Yeah.

Definitely bite.

If somebody is trying to go off the cliff, that's harrowing.

Um, yes, she's alive because she fought back and because someone heard her and helped

her.

Yeah.

Um, they, there were two women that heard her screaming and didn't decide that wasn't

their business.

Right.

Right.

Right.

Right.

Um, he's on trial for attempted murder and the jury has to decide was this self defense

like he claims or was this a calculated attempt to make sure she never made it off

that trail?

The amount of fear that women, um, live with as like a base level, just, you know, normal

see in the society, I can't even begin to fathom.

And I want to say a follow up to that statement, men.

That's not where it's supposed to stop saying, I can't imagine how hard it is.

While that's true, the next thing for you to do is to inquire, okay?

It's not enough to say, oh, you guys have it so horrible.

I can't imagine what it feels like to be a woman.

Stop trying to imagine and have more conversation with women about abuse.

But then also believe them when they tell you the story, because don't go, man, y'all,

y'all call anything abuse.

Right.

And then turn around and have that conversation with other men because this man attempted

to remove his wife from this plane of existence.

And if he was successful in doing so, he was just going to hike back down that trail,

go back home, there was kids and pretend to be heartbroken, a widower.

There was literally nothing I could do in that moment.

She just slipped and I'm just so, you know, we got to, we got to, we got to be strong.

That's what she would want right now.

Gave her a birthday card.

The fact that you did this on her birthday.

Yeah.

Yeah, man, this, yeah, this is, oh boy, I have so many issues because on Monday, we were

talking about, I told this story of Chris Rock, giving Nealong a fake number.

Nealong, y'all, he, Chris Rock gave Nealong, they went on a date.

He gave her a fake number because she said something on the date that he, that gave him

the dick.

And he was like, absolutely not this lady is further streets.

I want no parts.

And instead of him being able to say, it's been wonderful.

I, you know, great night, great dinner, don't think we could, don't think that we connected

would love to be friends, don't want to be friends.

You know, I mean, whatever the thing, right?

But he didn't have, he couldn't do that.

So he just gave her a fake number and then goes, you know, to ghost her.

As if you're not going to see her again in the tiniest, tiniest little industry that

is black Hollywood, but that was a later for another day.

It's Nealong, you guys.

Yeah.

This none of this makes sense.

I'm giving her my number and I'm giving your, your number as my emergency contact.

Please.

Yes.

I'm your reference.

I'm your contact.

Like what?

In case of an emergency.

Me, as you can't get me hit Morgan.

Yeah.

Make sure he hits you right back.

You're Nealong any who, uh, oh, man, what was my point that he couldn't just, you couldn't

just communicate, right?

You couldn't just say this didn't work.

Yeah.

Here's this, uh, husband who feels, you have lots of feelings about this woman having, uh,

but she calls in an emotional fear.

When ambush brought me the headline of this, it was like, um, I guess she, he saw some

flirty messages between her and a coworker.

That's her work husband or work husband, yeah.

And I guess that's immediately how I thought of it and it wasn't like a, this, that's an

actual, like, um, emotional attachment to that person.

Although I do understand that that happens and people do sure that nothing that doesn't

happen without crossing the line too.

That said, yeah, absolutely.

That said, this is, it sounds like the kind of man who you can't have an emotional connection

with.

So you're going to find it was, you know what I mean?

Like not even looking at just the, the nice person who talks to me and treats me like

a person at work, all of a sudden, you know, like you're not a person who's taking care

of her emotionally.

I can tell you that.

Yeah.

What at any point is I should kill her.

Yeah.

You are not taking care of her emotionally.

You're not taking care of you emotionally.

She's in the deficit for sure.

But so you can't communicate, sir.

You guys are in counseling.

You're, you know, like you, there are tools at your fingertips to say this didn't work.

There are tools at your fingertips to say, I want the kids.

You know what I'm saying?

Right.

Of course.

You ruined our family.

I got it.

I got to get away from you.

You got to get away from you.

You have the ability to do that instead, you're, you're like, let's go on a hike.

I'm going to push her off the cliff.

Right.

I'm also going to bring some anesthesia just in case she gets wily.

What question, sir, was your thought that because people fall off cliffs every day, that

they wouldn't do any type of investigating, to see what was in her system.

Maybe she was intoxicated.

Maybe what caused her to be unsure for it, theologist knows how much she's disappears

or something.

Well, that doesn't show up in a toxicology report.

Interesting.

Yeah.

Put him away.

Yeah.

Put him away under, under, I'm, listen, guys, you guys, you heard me say this over and

over again.

You know, one of my baby steps in the abolitionist journey, it's getting hard for me.

It's getting hard.

The more and more monsters are being revealed and just, it's getting hard for me to figure

out a humane place to put people who do not participate in humanity.

I mean, I hear it's getting tough, it's getting tough, you know, it's getting

active.

It's getting, it's getting, it's getting to get active.

Sorry.

That was so good.

That was so good.

Oh, I'm all in the song now.

That was so great.

That's just so good.

What I just want to say before we move on from that one is just how violent that is and

how, like I said, the way that his attorney is questioning her and that idea that like,

well, you didn't have any fractures, right?

So I guess because my cheekbones are still intact, even though I've been hitting the face

with the rock, but I have, you know, nothing but black eyes, lacerations all over my scalp.

You're hitting her on the top of her head with a rock, like, what, what?

And they're just, you know, her, or his attorney is just sort of like, I mean, did you even

get hit?

I mean, you look, you look good.

You look pretty good.

You look pretty good.

You know, it doesn't look like you had to have any, you know, reconstructive surgery or

anything.

So was it actually that bad or like, did you, did you fall and scrape your face?

The emotional trauma of being up that high, being that scared and the one person that you're

with that you would think would take care of you, the person you've married, the person

that you are supposed to be able to trust the most attempting to take advantage of that

particular situation to kill you.

And now you have to sit on a stand across from this person.

Like, it doesn't matter what happens to him, what the ruling is.

What she has been through, asking someone's mind or someone's like, spirit to just walk

that off, having that expectation is ridiculous.

That's a type of trauma that should understandably affect this person for the rest of their

lives.

And everyone should be able to be like, well, her husband did try to kill her in a birthday.

So on a birthday vacation.

So maybe we cut her some slack, you know, it's just a little birthday hike.

You're listening to X-ray FM and KX ROI Portland at 91.1 and 107.1 FM and then the Hale and

Wheeler Man's Need and Rockaway Beach at 91.7 FM streaming online everywhere at xray.fm.

Phil said, dudes be cowards and thank goodness she was a fighter.

Yes.

Very true.

Phil also said that his rap name is Phil in the blank.

Yes.

I again, second time had to cover my mouth when I read it because ambush was talking and

about something serious.

So I couldn't.

I got to stop reading these texts when you start talking.

Phil in the blank is hilarious.

Phil also said, I'm giving Nea my social security number.

And this is what I'm saying.

I'm giving you all my everybody social that I've ever even, mom, what's yours?

She needs it.

Yeah.

Nea, listen.

You can have anything you want.

Here's my hot mail.

Like yes.

Are we friends on my space, which I believe is no outlook.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But what are we doing?

What?

And I literally cannot use that Chris Brown.

It was.

I thought Chris Rock.

Oh, okay.

I thought Chris Rock and say Chris Brown.

Chris Rock.

The different abuser.

Yeah.

You know.

Oh.

And when will we just step off of that?

You know, when are you going to give that young man a chance to show you he's the best entertainer

since Michael Jackson?

You know something.

There's a lot of talk about men being abusers, you know, and maybe, you know, don't

now back a little Morgan, you know, they could dial back the abuse.

That'd be cool.

Yeah.

Well, I would be happy to stop talking about it.

If we stopped needing protection from the men who are saying, you're not protecting

that.

Right.

You know.

Oh, patriarchy.

Oh, so fun.

Hmm.

Guys.

So cool.

We covered one new story today.

We did it.

But this is an amazing show.

I feel really good about it.

I had a ton of fun.

Yeah.

I don't know that I do want to, you know, we set it in earlier in the show, but there are

a couple of dates that matter.

Yeah.

Oh, I meant to ask AJ, food pantry, still up and going on spring break.

Oh, it's a good point.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hopefully she responds.

This is an answer I should already have the answer to, and I'd like to apologize.

Sorry.

But I do, I'm trying to get a, you know, throw dates and reminders in here so that we are

just a little, you know, you get some, a little more than our opinion, again, this coming

Sunday.

Boo, yeah.

You know what it means?

I'm going to request, baby, DJ ambush, DJ Cliff, the no request DJs, spin in all of the

rapping ladies.

Yeah.

Um, I was going to say all night, but really it's from six to nine, which is the best

amount of time on a Sunday night.

I'm telling you, get home and a respectable time.

Go back to your family.

And then you decide, you know, do I even have a Monday now?

Or am I about to do the turn at, you know, and for anyone that hasn't been, it is not

a party.

I want to be clear.

This is a listening experience.

We are, it's a, it's a social, it's a social event gathering.

It's a gathering.

You know, so don't, don't worry about, ah, don't you people bump up against me.

You don't need your heels unless you want them.

Yeah.

You know, it's a dance.

There is dancing.

Traditional party.

Yeah.

Shout out to Brooke.

Some joints come on.

Haha.

I miss you, Brooke.

Yeah.

I haven't been to a nervous question a while and I blame, ah, those folks at Jones Town.

Yeah.

And I am hopeful.

My fingers are crossed.

Fingers crossed Sunday.

Yeah.

Um, but as you are my relief at night for my parents, I don't know that I get to do that.

But we will see.

True.

Fingers crossed.

Yeah.

Um, I did do a cool thing.

Yeah, you did.

And I don't get to do those very often right now.

Shout out to benchmark PDX.

Um, they are awesome.

They are awesome.

Rob wanted some devotional candles from infamous items.

That's me.

And I was able to eat out some new beauties for women's history, man.

Yeah, yeah.

Um, specifically he wanted black women in music.

And he wanted certain folks, right.

So we have a cowboy Carter, a new dochi, sister Nancy, bam, bam, S W V and Sissa.

And they're more coming soon.

And I'll be getting new stuff to 503 records and be vertons soon.

Yeah.

So, you know, if you like devotional candles and stuff, actual religious entities, those

are there.

They're out and about AJ said there is no pantry this week spring break back next week.

I'm so happy.

I didn't say everybody go.

Right.

Thank you, AJ.

Yeah, yeah.

And thank y'all again for every single thing that you do because we can't make it without.

We can't make it without and EGC has been continuously a part of this community and
