BAM: Bill, Alex & Mike Ft. Dee Lee

Bill, Alex, and Mike on the airwaves giving what you like. Topics on fleek, 11 o'clock every day of the week. On Fox Local Conversations. Right. That's Bill. Right. What up, y'all? Welcome to another episode of BAM, man. He's like, my presence is exploding in the room. Always in the, like, that B stands for Bill. Don't get it messed up. Right, right. I'm still part of this system. Don't think this is, you know what I'm saying? Mike, don't get comfortable in that ----. All right, Bill. I got you, brother. Noted. You know what I'm saying? Hey, listen, y'all, welcome to another episode of BAM, man. We appreciate y'all coming through, hanging out with us. Beautiful Alex Holly always in the building with me, man, hanging out. Bling. D. Lee just popped in, came through, Help us out for these next day and a half. It's always dangerous when he's here. You know what I'm saying? Day and a half, not two days. Well, we might not let him stay for the whole show. Oh, we're going to kick him out? What did you do? They won't let you stay up there. We need to talk. We need to talk about it. See, we just negotiate what happened with my salary, and then I found out he was making more than me. And I said, we got issues now. And I told him, well, I only do half-day there. Right. What a way to settle it. I'm starting to speak now. Clear this right up, man. It's only coming for half-day. Okay. That is something, waking up, and you guys were talking about it this morning, you know, the whole salary thing of, you know, the My Daddy podcast. I'm like, dude, I really don't, I never got in today. Was that what the controversy was? Well, there's a number of things, but for Call Her Daddy, you know, it's one of the biggest podcasts out there, hosted now by Alex Cooper, but back in the day when it first started, it was also with Sophia Franklin, and they were best friends, roommates, and obviously they worked on the podcast together, and then, you know, there was the disruption, and then Alex went off and took it and made it this big, huge thing, where now she's interviewing presidential candidates and things like that. It blew up. Yeah, it blew up. And so now, the other girl, who we haven't really heard from, she's now releasing a book talking about what all that went on and giving behind the scenes. And one of the things, one of the little things that was dropped, the bombs that were dropped, was that... She had no idea, even though they were best friends and roommates, that she was making more than her. And Alex never told her and never thought to share, which you don't think that's a big deal. You know what? Let me tell you this. I wouldn't tell you. Even as my best friend, I'm not telling you. Like, you're going to ruin the show if I tell you that. How would that ruin the show? Egos. Right. Like, yo, all of a sudden, I know, like, we built this thing together. Now I'm making more money than you. And I'm going to be like, yo, Lex, you know what I mean? They're taking better care of me on the show than they're taking care of you. That automatically conflict's going to pop up. Well, why wouldn't you make sure that your best friend's taken care of? It was also the way she found out. It was like after the podcast ended, the lawyer called her and was like, hey, so, you know, were you aware that you guys have two different salaries? I'm trying to figure out what. How to move forward with this. She was like, what? I thought y'all talked about this. Maybe they had a conversation thinking they both went in equal. And they agreed to be equal. Now, that happens. That's one thing. But I wouldn't come to the table. I find out, you know, Alex is making more. Micah's making more. Now I got a big problem with, wait a minute, I contribute. Dude, I'm negotiating what I'm negotiating for. Even if y'all both are doing the same job that y'all started together. Yeah, because I'm going to be more popular than you, Alex, if we do that. No, no, no. You know, I just wouldn't focus on what you're making and what you're making. I'm going in with my team and saying, hey, this is what I feel I deserve because you may have a better negotiator than me. You know what I mean? Who goes in there and boom. But I'm not going to be nosy enough to try to find out what you're doing and then to mess up our friendship or everything else. You know what I mean? But I get what you're saying. We built it together. We created it together. Built it together. Now, that's what I'm saying. If we came in as a partnership. 50-50 the whole time. Because they started it together. And then all of a sudden, yeah, I get what you're saying. I get that. I probably would have said something to you then. I'd have been like, look. Look, they're trying to offer me more. I mean, should we work together? Right. You know what I'm saying? Or I would have been like, yo. Well, that's conqueror. It was a divide and conquer. Right. Yeah, I would say that. I wouldn't let that happen. You know what I'm saying? We sit down and negotiate. We sit down and negotiate as a group. Or a better player would be like, yo, take a little bit off mine, put it on hers. Let's split the difference. Let's keep us even because I want to keep this thing solid amongst us. Right. You know what I mean? But if it was only $10 and I had to give you another $2.50 and now we both have $7.50, I'm like, Alex, we both still hungry. I'm hungry. That's one way to look at it. That is one way to look at it. That's one way to look at it. I'm saying, like, it depends on what the number was. It may not be worth the split. Speaking of hungry, did you bring my coffee in? I forgot your coffee. Yeah, leave it. He's been on me since yesterday. He was like, yo, like, I'm going to be staying at the Four Seasons. Y'all got me? I said, yo, who are you thinking you are? Mike, you ain't supposed to put that up. I was like, what are you talking about? You ain't supposed to say it in front of me. I don't see what I'm talking about. I said, look here, man. It don't matter if you're at the Four Seasons or Motel 6. They're kicking back that door one way or the other. So, you stay wherever you want to stay. What the heck? You're going to get paid one way or the other. So, it don't matter. Well, aren't you living good? I walked in and I didn't have enough. I said, wait a minute. I only got three towels. What happened? That's not what you had for. You live on the budget. As we stay down south, you're living high on the hog over there. Hey, man. Times are hard out here. What's happening with you, man? You got your cheesesteak spot opened up now. Congratulations. Thank God, man. We finally opened up Lee's Famous Cheesesteaks and Wings, the takeout location. We opened it up September 10th of this year, and it is doing phenomenal. I appreciate everyone that has come through the door. Everyone. Even if you came through the door just to be a bot. And just to throw some negativity in there, I take that, too. You know what I mean? Shouts out a friend of mine earlier, sir, actually, was saying, how do you keep it running when you're not there? Because you're running over here, running over here. I got a strong team. I got my cousin Deion, my daughter Ciata, my man Al, you know what I mean? Felix, you know. I got Snorja. I have such a strong team. We have a very strong team. And I was telling him that what my dad said to me years ago, he said, a king is not a great king unless he teaches someone else to rule. You know what I'm saying? And that's what it is, man. And I feel comfortable being away knowing my team is going to do what they have to do. And if it's hiccups, we address it. You know what I mean? We just address it. But I just stay busy. I told Sarah, yesterday, woke up at the house, had dinner, had lunch, breakfast in Ocala, had lunch in Orlando, had dinner in Miami, and then, boom, had a nightcap here in Philly. Oh, my gosh. This has got to be balling, right? Hold on. We've got to get our 15-second pause. Yeah, we've got to pay for all this. We eat, sleep, and breathe personal injury. Our clients are our family, and we protect our family. People can rely on us as if they could rely on a family member. We know exactly what to do. That's why people call us. Come on, you got five seconds. Move, sir. What are you doing? You ain't supposed to be in the production. You remember last time somebody walked in on this set? I'm kicking him out! You remember last time? Oh, my God. I don't care what you look like. I wish there was a camera on his face. He was like, oh, oh, oh, poor guy. What we got going on in the world? We got a bunch of things going on, man. You been following the Jensen Huang situation with NVIDIA? I have, but I haven't. You know what I mean? It's kind of like. It's weird, though. Like, dude, you at the top of the world, man. Come on now. Can we not let a woman take us down every single time? It happens every time. Every single time. Every time, bruh. Like, dude, you got the largest, one of the largest companies on the planet. Right. It takes a nice little skirt to walk through the door. We can throw that right out the window. And he had been with his wife since, like, college. Yeah. So a long time. Isn't that crazy how it just opened up? That can opened up big time. Yo, it's bugged out, but we're going to do, man. We see it happen. Like, rich dudes, poor dudes. You're right. Dudes. Dudes. And I say all the time, man, like, yo, man, like, you can't give anybody that kind of power over you. And that has always been my biggest fear, right? Like, why are you giving this woman this kind of power over you, dude? Like, she can ruin your house, she can ruin your career, she can do all of it, and it's happening. But didn't we have that conversation not too long ago where we said the side chick has nothing to lose. Nothing to lose. You do. Or the side person. Because women, married women, CEOs cheat also. Yeah. You know what I mean? But they have nothing to lose. But then all of a sudden, here comes the side person. And either they're going to blackmail you or they're going to destroy you. Maybe she did, though, lose in this case because she was like a spy. Right, that was a double whammy. Yeah, she got stuff going on. She got people to answer to, you know what I'm saying? Dig it, like dig it. She came in with a purpose. Oh, for sure. Yeah, I got it. What skirt was she wearing that day? Oh, my gosh. She came in with a purpose. They walked right in there. Yep, right to him. He probably had nothing from the culture to admit it. You know what I'm saying? Oh, my gosh. Sit home, girl, over here, man. We got this. We got this. Dude! Sleep in here. We got, this is going to be an easy one. Ha! Yeah! She wants to meet me? Whee! Yeah, she's been waiting outside for you the whole time. Hold on, hold on! She wouldn't meet Ralph, she wanted to meet you. That's my man. Look, I hope it all works out. Ain't no working out. It's a paycheck behind that, bro. Well, I mean, maybe it will, though. I mean, this would be one of the largest divorces we've seen. So maybe it's cheaper to keep her. Like, I wonder if they are going to be like, you know, because I think of Bezos and Gates and all that. It's so funny because one person was like, well, the HBCUs are ready. Because, you know, Melinda Gates, she started giving money to people. And she was like, I'm going to give my portion away. Looking out for herself. So a lot of people were like, we over here. And you're ready to give that money away. All right, so look, we're going to take a quick commercial break, man. We're going to knock this two minutes out. We're going to come back and talk about the littering ticket this woman got out here in the city, man. Uh-oh. On the other side. Did you see the clip? Uh-oh. No, I didn't. You got to do your job, man. Bruh. I'm trying. Hey, what happened to y'all? We back, we back, Mike. I'm like, sweet. I can't never tell. We back. We back. Mike said we back. Welcome back, y'all. Mike said we back. You know what I mean? We back, Lex. You ready? Yeah, I'm ready. Are you ready is the question. Always. Holidays, I'm wondering if mom and dad are coming in. They're coming. Yep, thank you. Mom's packing right now. Two weeks away. We were already on the phone. She had me trying to look for Thanksgiving plates. What? But all the places. What do you mean? Plates like food plates or just like plates to serve? Decorative. Well, plates to put the food on, but they have Thanksgiving themes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, turkey or something. But all the stores have put away their Thanksgiving. They're all in full Christmas mode. She was like, ask again. And I'm like, Mama, I'm telling you it's not here. She's like, I know it's there. It's a table in the back. Just ask. Why don't she just pack them? She packing everything up. I'm about to say. I'm sure they got them in Texas. You know it. So that's what happened. I had to go up and ask two different people because she did not believe me while I was on the video call. And sure enough, they were like, no, we're done with that. She's like, fine, I guess I'll have to get it here. Sure enough, in Texas, they still showing the Thanksgiving stuff. I'm sure my man Glenn is like, do we really got to? I've got to take this many bags. Yes. Let me put it to you like this, and I'm talking directly to you, your honor and mommy. Me? Pack that extra Tupperware, mom, because I know you bringing it. I know you bringing it. I'm going to be in town this holiday. Lord, bring it, your honor. Respect. But, mom, bring all that. Bring all that. So, listen. So, let's go. Texas direct. There you go. Text is direct. Yeah. Listen, because she can't get it here. There are certain beans, like ranch-style beans, certain things that we cannot find in the stores here, the grocery stores that are like normal in Texas. Have you ever seen her come from the airport? I got to show you that video. You said what? Ain't nothing normal in Texas. Ain't nothing normal. Everything is. Listen, we need like the already fresh cut pico de gallo. There they have it. Like, you know when you get the chopped onions and stuff? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. In Texas, you can get fresh cut pico de gallo, all that already put together. You ain't going to the right neighborhood. Now, that might be fair. There you go. You ain't getting out of here. Y'all tell me where to go. Take it down Fifth Street. Right. I got to say, you got to go Feltonville. Puerto Rico. Yeah, you got to go home. You got to go down Fifth Street. I need to hook her up with my mother-in-law. Yeah, the whole city ain't got that. You got to go to the hood a little bit. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. You got to be a couple miles up the road. Yeah. But listen, man, so this sister got this ticket. So, hey, y'all, run the ticket clip, and then we're going to talk about it. So, y'all, why did I just get a violation in the mail, a ticket in the mail for $150 for littering on a block that I don't be on? And I don't litter, number one. And I never got stopped by no cop. I don't know what this is about. So I called a number. This lady going to tell me it was a package on the street with my name on it. I said my trash day was the day before this. It could have fell off a trash truck. Somebody could have stole my package and threw that on the ground and kept it moving. That falls on me. And when did y'all start giving... So from now, make sure y'all taking your labels off your packages or scribbling your name off the package. So, y'all, why did I? Speaking of labels, could they remove the BAM word? And I didn't know what that said. You don't need to know. OK, OK. That means they were covering something. I'm sorry about that. You don't need to know what it said right there. Unless you plan to pick up the fine and we already told you we ain't paying for your work. Yeah, you're right about that. Now you want us to go hang it. That's going to be an argument management. Right. So we, you know what I mean, we try to protect the process. But you know what she said, which is I think everybody should do anyway, before you throw your package in the trash, especially what we do for a living, you got to take your label off. You know what I mean? You got to take your label off. But the idea that they found a box in the street. Now, we're all a litter we're dealing with in this city. And listen, I appreciate what the mayor's trying to do and the cleaning up and so on and so forth. But I come down 2nd Street every day and I see the same spot full of trash all the time, right? And I mean, and they've got out there and cleaned it up. And they come right back and dump some more, right? We didn't see anything where they do dump all the tires. They talk about $500 a tire. How many of those tires did y'all get $500 for? Right. Right? This woman package, y'all find a box in the middle of the street that got a name on it. Like, oh, we sending this ticket to Alabama. Yeah, I don't think that's right. You know what I'm saying? Like, two blocks from your crib. This is easily fightable. Yeah. How? I think all she got to do, she said, I don't even live on that block. You show your license. It was just stuff. It had your name on it. It was in the street. That's your litter. You better show me a picture of this. You know what I mean? I said, what do they do? Like, if I see a bag of Herb's potato chips, an empty Herb's potato chips bag, do we send them a $150 fine? Or a Newport box? To Herb. Do we send them? You know what I'm saying? We know who manufactured it. Right. So, you know what I'm saying? So, I'm like, this is crazy. They got me one time. I got a property. I had a property up in North Philly. It was empty. Somebody put the trash out and it was in front of my building and they sent me a ticket. I'm like, yo, how y'all sending me a ticket? Oh, you put the trash out on the wrong day. Right. Nobody lives there. That's not my trash. Right. No matter what's in front of your place. Did you win? You ain't fight it? Nah, it was 50 bucks. I just paid it. But that's the system. Man, see, if they think you ain't going to fight it, they're going to keep hammering. You've got to fight it. Don't nobody. Man, you ever been to a traffic ticket here? Phil, you walk in. They gather them all together. Hey, y'all, how many of y'all just want to get out of here? Oh, what? They're doing via Zoom now. Oh, wow. Yeah, I had one not too long ago. They hit me for one in the bike lane. Hit you on Broad Street? Did they go with you on Broad Street? No, no. They said I was parked in a bike lane, which I was, but it wasn't marked. It wasn't marked. And, like, the car in front of me was up against the curb, so I parked up against the curb. Right. And the block before me, everybody's up against the curb, so it made sense. And, dude, I come out, and there's a tow truck behind my car. Is this story more personal to you, Mike? I'm recognizing all these tickets coming your way. So you're a fighter right now. Listen, I'm just saying. I'm just saying. You know, but I hear where homegirl is coming from. I agree with her. I agree. You can't just tag me and hit me with a fine and... This box is like seven blocks away from my house. Like, come on now. I also think we need more than one day a week for trash collection. I know they're trying to do that. And I feel like maybe we need an update. Because it was like, we're trying, we're starting in a certain neighborhood. And then eventually we're like, okay, well, how long is it going to be? Because it's wild to me that we only have one day. And then people are expected to just sit with their trash. They're not doing that. So we need to make more collection, if possible. And we don't have cans in the city. And I get it. It may be difficult to manage cans. But you see what... What's Old City look like on a Friday on Trash Day? It's like every little shopping bag. It's 100 shopping bags in front of people's buildings. I'm like, of course you're going to get litter and trash all over the street. So now then you're going to turn around because you don't have a system in place to maintain, to keep the trash confined. You're going to turn around and hit me with a $150 fine. It might have, like she said, it might have fell off the trash truck. I've seen them throw trash at the truck and miss. We've seen that. And just leave it. I've seen them do it. So, you know, so look, man, listen, mayor, you know, because she went after the mayor at the end, I clipped that part off. I don't want the mayor's got enough to deal with. Right. We don't see. Now, let me. How do y'all feel about you? Still, you govern your own neighborhood. You govern your own block. Right. You know what I mean? I think if we can get more people involved. But she said this wasn't on her block. No, no, I understand that. But you mentioned earlier about the trash cans and things like that. Like, if we govern our own block, because you got to remember, all in all, in the very end, the value of homes and everything is up to the individual themselves. So if you got a block that has 50 houses on it, you know what I mean? And everybody gets together as the 52nd street. But maybe everybody on the block don't own their house. Now, that's true, too. It's hard to get somebody who don't own it, who don't care. And then if you collect the trash, where are you going to put it? Because the trash day is like four days away. That's the other part. That don't mean so much collect the trash. I mean, put all the trash in front of, like, they just gather it in one, in front of one property from the whole block. But then I'm like. That's like you inviting every rat in North Philly to come hang out here now. You know what I'm saying? That's the spot. That's the club. So it's like, where's the balance? How do you find the balance? I get it. You don't want it in front of your house. But, you know, and the city ain't picking it up often enough. Right. But we need a better system, man. That costs money, I guess. But it starts with the people. I think it starts with the people. $150 a head. You're right. That's how they're getting that money. We got to take a two-minute break, man. We'll be back on the other side. Come on, Mike. You wasn't ready for that one, was you? Caught him off guard. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Hey, y'all, welcome back, man. As always, man, appreciate y'all hanging out with us for this half hour. D. Lee in the building came through to kick it with us, man. Alex is always here with me, you know what I mean? Like, even when Bill ain't here, Alex is here. There you go. You know what I mean? When I'm not here, Alex is here. Grace in the room. You know what I'm saying? Alex always in the room, man. You know what I mean? You need somebody attractive to show up every night again. Wow. Oh, you just gave me a compliment. Wow. Catch that. You know what I mean? Wow. I'm saying, like, you know what I mean? I'm hearing me and Bill, but it's like, eh. That's when I get called in. Hey, I got it. That's when I get called in. I know what's going on here. That's exactly what they call you. Give them the color spectrum. I knew it. I was waiting for it. I was waiting for it. I knew it was going to come. I said, how am I going to position myself? Because he's going to do it. He's going to do it. Why you got a T? This is him. He's going to do it. I think I watched a clip of us like a couple weeks ago, and somebody said, wow. It was like Alex said, less than two minutes, you did it. You win on me and Alex. Awesome. I said, thank you. No, that's you always bringing it up, man. That was you on that one. I was beating you to the punch all the time. You all the time. So look, we've seen these public proposals, right? Yeah. And usually they go fine. But run this one real quick, man. This was at a Kemp concert. Did she say no, absolutely yes, or? Right, she said, no, I can't, no, like, so then the crowd checked. She was like, did she say no? Like, I sound like she said no, and everybody was like, she said no. Then she said absolutely. But then she said absolutely, so I don't know which one it was. But I looked at it like, well. I thought that was her grandfather. That part. That's what got me, D. So I'm looking at the video, and I'm like, he out here with this little young chick, showing her the world. And grandfathers usually wear red jackets to the concert. And now he thinks she's going to marry him. She's not going to marry you, homeboy. She's just along for the ride. And why isn't she going to marry him? Because they were hugging at the end. And he's 80. But then she said, absolutely. But then she said, absolutely. And they're hugging. Right, right. That's why the crowd says he's a bitch. Well, she still needed to get a ride home. No! That's a good one. See, you know what I mean? Like, I did say no, but he didn't bring me here. Like, so I better hug this dude and be like, maybe I want to roll that note back. Think about it. Man. Wow. It's a long ride home from this show. Shoot, I've seen some embarrassing. I saw a proposal the other day. The guy was in Puerto Rico, and he went to propose to her on the, you ever see the Slippery Rock? That's the nickname of it, Slippery Rock? He goes and proposed to her, and a wave came in, and he was like, well, you, right off, right off the rock, right off the rock. He fell off the rock, or the ring. The ring. Oh, he fell off. He's the ring. So the ring is still in hand. As long as the ring's still in hand, we good. Went off the rock. You know, I've seen it where they drop the ring. Yeah. But I'm like, don't do these proposals in a stadium in front of a bunch of people. Oh, no. Don't do that. Don't do that to yourself. Don't do that. Not at all. Because aren't y'all, were y'all really nervous? I can't picture you ever, both of y'all, I can't picture either of you ever being nervous about anything. I wasn't. I wasn't nervous. But I did my, it's funny, is I proposed to my wife in the car after leaving the laugh house. Get out. You're welcome. Oh, so. What did he say? You're welcome, sir. No, what did he say? No, he didn't know. No, I didn't know. I know, but we didn't even know each other. Yes, but you must have been inspired because I'm sure he was on stage or something. No, I think it was like my wife's birthday or something, man. That was the inspiration. Let me take her out. You know what I'm saying? We was like, yo, we hanging out together. Ask him what he said to her on the car. I was like, yo, you want to get married? That's how you said it? Yeah. Did you get down on one knee? No, I was sitting in the driver's seat. Oh, my God. I just turned around like this. Not to the side. Oh, my God. I pulled up in front of the crib. I was like, oh. Isn't he? Hold on, did you get down on one knee since you laughing so hard? We living together, you know what I mean? We in this anyway, like, why don't we just make it official? Oh my gosh. And that's no rig, she's like, yeah, I'm like, bet, that's what's up, man. Oh my gosh. It was probably a little cleaner than that. Did you say we ain't getting no younger, we might as well do it? If you said that, then I just... I should take this last minute and a half, because I might be on a head job, and I don't need no problems. It's still a commercial, man. We'll Bill, Alex, and Mike, on the airwaves, giving what you like. be We making fun of Mike, but you also didn't get down on one knee. right I didn't get down on one knee. Well, wait a minute. Forget about us. What about your friend? What's going on with you? Look, you wait for me. Nobody's gotten down on a knee for me. If he get down on one knee, he probably fake it. back. I'm about to blow up every proposal. Yeah, you're about to kill every proposal. I'm saying, look, I've got 26 years in, Lex. And I'm proposing the side of a used Cadillac. You know what I'm saying? That's a good one. That's a good one right there, brother. I think you chopped me on that one, the used Cadillac part. You had to sprinkle that in there. Were you in the car, too? No, I wasn't in the car. Okay. So that's what I'm saying. I kept it simple, stupid. What you doing? Want to get married? Look, we got to wrap it up, man. Look, man, we appreciate y'all hanging out with us. You know how much this cost me? Be with us again tomorrow. We'll finish up how we got married stories on the other side, man.
