Trevor Talks French And French Fries With A Couple In The Audience (Video)
October 4, 2018
I’ve known, but never really thought through, how ‘borrowed’ American English is as a language. Trevor broke down a few French phrases we’ve co-opted as part of everyday speech in the states.
Trevor muses on French words, fries and rap with a French couple in the audience.

Drink Champs: Akon (Video)
October 4, 2018
Akon. Been getting some buzz about the man… that he’s got his own island, that he’s partnering with China to bing up a billion-dollar power grid in Africa… It’s all out there. But in here, there is DRINKING (and sh!t talk). Pretty much in that order. Haha!
Akon discusses how he went from being locked up to signing Lady Gaga. He talks growing up and being more financially responsible, he shares some advice on investing, and also the economic influence of Africa.

Ohhh, and Akon is into cryptocurrency. We’re on that wave (you’ve seen the posts on here).

Environment/Activism: How Much Do ‘Black Lives Matter’ To This Louisiana Plant? Not Much… (Video)
October 3, 2018
Just off G.P. this should get a thorough looking into. Just think: It there is a chance that a deadly chemical, given off in the process to make recreational stuff, is killing off this predominantly Black Louisiana town, isn’t it worth study (and a fight, if true)? This 77-year old ‘fighter’ thinks so. So he’s taking on a giant chemical plant to save his community.

Food: You ‘Win Son,’ You Lose None… Of The Taiwanese Culture & Flavor (Video)
October 2, 2018
Careful about throwing around the word ‘authentic’ or being so quick to judge what is not authentic. I came across this Eat Seeker video and played (and decided to share) it because the food looked delicious. But this (and like their other episodes) go deeper than ‘staying true’ to where the cuisine is ‘from’… Get into the meaning behind the dishes, the motives and motivations of the chefs. This clip [and series] is cool (AND delicious)!
Over the last few years, Taiwanese food has slowly been getting a little more recognition across the city of New York. At the beloved Taiwanese spot, Win Son, co-owners Trigg Brown and Josh Ku have worked incredibly hard to build an association with the language they use on their menu. Together they have crafted a menu that highlights Taiwanese mainstays like the o-a jian (oyster omelette), fly’s head, and danzi noodles at their Brooklyn restaurant. Their hope is that small changes like using the Taiwanese dish names on the menu can help promote Taiwanese cultural and culinary identity in the city.

Elon Musk Speaks On His Concerns About Artificial Intelligence (Video)
September 28, 2018
I’m an alien… It’s true.
– Elon Musk
Got the full (very full) show with Elon chatted up for over 2 and 1/2 hours of tech talk (for those who want it) after the jump. But the clip above though: We’re focused on convo about artificial intelligence. Probably goes without saying that a Mars expedition (like the Space X venture being planned) has gotta be able to use some of that sweet A.I. Especially if the crew runs into some ‘other’ aliens (ha)!
Thoughtful (and kinda scary) insights from the guy we call ‘Real Life Tony Stark’ around here.

Comedy: Isaiah Thomas And Kevin Hart Show They Have The ‘Balls’ To Get In The Ice Tub And Talk About The Big Men’s Game (Video)
September 28, 2018
Bwaaahahaaa! Kev started off with the ’94 Pistons Captain Isaiah, friend to Magic Johnson… This is young I.T. not that ‘Bad Boy’ (plus he was only 5 years old back in 1994). Silly. And it only gets sillier from there.
Kevin Hart and Isaiah Thomas bond on being the short guys. Isaiah Thomas talks about his longest day ever- being the last pick in the NBA draft, losing his tooth and his top 5 Point Guards in the NBA.

David Frost (yep, that dude they’re talking about in that ‘Frost Nixon’ movie) interviews boxing legend, Muhammad Ali. Frost could give it to U.S. President Nixon, but Ali is the Champion Of The World… and of classic jibber-jabber! Gotta love hearing the Champ talk. You definitely will after watching this.
Lots of funny, but Ali drops some jewels in here, too.

Meet The New Principal Of Newark’s Westside High School, Akbar Cook (Video)
September 25, 2018
Ellen always comes through with the great ‘feel good’ stories. This one on the brother Akbar Cook certainly ranks near the top of that stack. Watch.
Ellen sat down with Akbar Cook, Principal of a Newark, New Jersey high school, who after noticing at-risk students being bullied for dirty clothes, worked hard to install washing machines and dryers so the kids could do laundry. After hearing his story, Ellen teamed up with her friends at Cheerios to help Principal Cook continue to do good and support his “babies” at school.
Take care of the babies, Akbar. Our babies! And bless you, Ellen, for shining the light on this.

Robert Irwin & Jimmy Fallon Have Fun With Exotic Animals. Not Kevin Hart’s Idea Of Fun (Video)
September 24, 2018
Couple of takeaways: Robert Irwin calling something little, cute, and fluffy means RUN AWAY! For me, and Kevin Hart, at least.
Kevin Hart struggles to keep his fear in check as Robert Irwin, 14-year-old son of Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, brings out some interesting animals to show him and Jimmy, including some kingsnakes, a tarantula and a falcon.

September 20, 2018
Man. This is an awesome share (and kind of a tearjerker). Statik Selektah knew Mac Miller… pretty much from jump. Check out what he just put out in Miller’s honor and memory. Reflect and remember; maybe learn something new about dude. Celebrate Mac Miller’s life #RIPMacMiller

Comedian Katt Williams Speaks On Undeserved Fame Of Some Comedians And Roasts Co-Host Wanda Smith (Video)
September 18, 2018
On V-103’s Frank and Wanda In The Morning, Emmy-winning actor/comedian Katt Williams lit up the airwaves, sharing nuclear-hot takes on some of today’s top comedians, including Tiffany Haddish, Kevin Hart, Jerrod Carmichael, and Hannibal Buress. Watch as Williams calls some ugly, questions others’ talents, and suggests that race and colorism play roles in who Hollywood hires and why.
Yeah yeah. All that… but that’s not what made this thing go viral. When co-host Wanda Smith jumped over the fence and got in the middle of the melee. That’s when Katt’s scattered shots found focus. He got off all the other comedians and fanned all flame on Wanda. Too-hot-for-radio flames. So hot that [reportedly] the Smith men (her husband and sons) found Katt at a comedy club later and pulled a GUN on dude.
Wow. File this under ‘sticks and stones may break bones BUT HOW ABOUT WORDS ALMOST GETTING A COMIC SHOT OVER DISSING A MAN’S WIFE ON AIR!?‘
Watch. But only if you can stand the HEAT! Katt goes IN… smooth & vicious like. That said, he does make some good points…
(Hit the jump to see what Tiffany Haddish had to say via Twitter.)

Food: Sean Evans Tastes Beer Spiked With Mace! (Video)
September 12, 2018
Okay, the category is ‘food’ but the focus is more on ‘drink’ (sorry not sorry). Just seems right that somebody take the guy torturing celebs with The World’s Hottest Wings on a tour-de-beer that includes some KILLER spices.
Sean Evans is the perfect guinea pig for one of Dogfish Head brewmaster Sam Calagione’s craziest recipes to date: In Your Mace, a pepper spray-infused stout custom-made for someone who has eaten the spiciest wings on the planet. Before unleashing this diabolical creation on Sean, Sam warms him up with a crash course in how to pair spicy foods with beer. Then, the duo decides to kick things up even further by running the Mace-spiked beer through a special contraption stuff with Carolina Reapers, Chocolate Bhutlahs, and a boatload of other peppers from chile guru Smokin’ Ed Currie.
