Like It Or Not: November 13, 2026

Welcome on into the show on this Friday evening. We have a great panel of folks here. Media personality Al Reynolds, Sonny from WHUR, midday's 10 to 3, and actor and host of the show, The Mentality, Anthony Virgil. Let's fire it up. All right, so nothing is going to stop a frustrated Philly sports fan from complaining about a loss. We know that. After the Sixers fell to the Celtics on Tuesday night, one man called into a local radio show at maybe the worst possible time ever. What's up, uh, how you doing? I'm at the hospital with my, me and my wife having our baby, having our daughter. Wait, literally right now? Yeah, she's actually... Corey, Corey, Corey, Corey, Corey, Corey, Corey, Corey, is that your newborn, like crying in the background? Yes, that's my baby daughter, Caroline. Corey, congratulations. A, like you just had a baby that was born during the course of this show and you're calling me. Yes. Yes. And I want to, and I want to commend you because I like your show and I want to tell you about Paul George. I don't like Paul George. I like, and I hate Pritchard. Goodness, the screaming in the background. What on earth? That's pretty crazy. I mean, I'm a huge basketball fan for sure. I actually do like Paul George. So, I mean, if he's watching, then, you know, hey. But, yeah, my wife is definitely not going for any of this. No, and would you be afraid to do that? I think a husband should be afraid. I think I would be a little frightened. I'm not going to lie. I mean, if not her, then my mother-in-law. Somebody's throwing something. I think kind of as they should, no, Sonny? Yeah, yeah. You know, I usually always talk about I can't really decide who has the crazier fans. Like music or... Or sports because they're so passionate about these people that make money and they don't really care about you that there's so like they're so into this. I just can't believe this happened. Like if my husband were to do this, I will never let this go. Like there's no reason like it wasn't even a championship game. It wasn't the finals game seven. Something happened like he's just like trying to probably get away from. Would you be OK if it was game seven? I don't know. OK. It's like game seven of the finals and something happened in the last second. Maybe I'm in the back cheering as I'm trying to cry and like push the baby. I don't know how that works yet. But you know, like, yeah. I really don't understand what you guys are complaining about. These are Philadelphia fans. You know anything about their sports fans? They beat up Santa Claus. Right. They beat up Santa Claus. They beat up Santa Claus. They catch cars on fire. They pull down light posts when they are involved in their games. But I have to say, this was a good one. And that lady just pushed a whole a whole little human out of herself, and he's calling up a radio station trying to figure out, like, what Paul, what you're calling him to do. Now, that would, that would to me. He might be a little distraught, too. I mean, you know, he's got a lot going on. The baby just was born. Maybe you need a breather. This is the way I can, you know, just. Exhale for a little bit. You all are way too generous. That's a video girl. That would be a no-go for me, and I'm going to guess a lot of ladies at home. And there are a lot of things, okay, that husbands do that women don't love. So we're going to go to another one right now. A woman says an earthquake at a restaurant made her question her marriage and eventually actually helped lead to her divorce. In a viral TikTok, she says when the ground started shaking, her husband ran to a doorway on the other side of the restaurant, and he did not check on her. Or try to get her to safety. She says even the server noticed and asked if she was okay, pointing out her husband had just abandoned her there. No one was hurt, thankfully, but she says the moment really made her realize how little her husband cared for her. Sunny, was she right? Yeah. Yeah, she did the right thing. I don't know. I feel like this just shows maybe, like, a different thing. Because I think once you start looking at someone in a different way, like, you maybe see your husband as this, like, protector and someone's supposed to take care of you. And then all of a sudden he runs like a little. You know, when something goes down and you'll never look like he's never going to be that man's man, like you're going to look at him differently. So I get it. It's an ick, I think. It's an ick. Once she gets the ick, you can't come back from the ick. I think, right, like if it's a traumatic event, I don't know if it's a one time thing I would think to give someone a pass. But I don't think if your husband's a protector, if he's got your back one time. It would surprise me that would lead to a divorce. I think that's like a visual representation of this man does not count. You know what, let me tell you something. You working with these two ladies, it's tough being in between. 20 years from now, it's not... Let me tell you something. It wasn't the earthquake that shattered your marriage or ended your marriage. All it did was loosen the truth. The truth was the man ain't feeling you. And the earthquake just proved to you that he doesn't hold you in the highest esteem as it relates to his life over yours. Yeah, it was definitely the straw that broke the camel's back Right, because no way the earthquake was Right, that wasn't like a wake-up moment. The husband used to always, like, replace her favorite, like, chips or nuts or something, and he just one day didn't after 15 years. Obviously, you're not breaking up over that, but that was, like, the visual representation that you needed. James Sexton is his name, I think. But you know what I mean? But there are things that led up to this. There are definitely things that happened over time, and at the end, she was like, you know what, he couldn't even save me. Like, I got to go. And abandon you. And the server knows. That's embarrassing. That's the part where, with this story, I watched the whole thing. That's when I felt like she made it up. Because, first of all, I lived in Los Angeles. When you're involved in an earthquake that's that significant where you're running for cover, everybody's not looking around looking at each other's husband and wife and seeing who's doing what. That's what I was like, okay, she might be doing this. For a little bit of attention. Maybe she was fed up and it was just time. I think that would be. She was fed up and it was just time to go. You know how like when you were at that point where you were like, mm-hmm, I knew it. You were not worth it. Well, she knows it. She knows it. We're going to move on now. What if your next get-together with friends did not involve dinner or drinks, but finally getting those household projects done? It is called a chore club. A small group of friends takes turns gathering at each other's homes to help tackle tasks, painting, decluttering, Deep cleaning or building furniture. The idea is to help the group stay small, about three to five people, and set aside three to four hours per home. Al, like it or not? I knew you were going to throw this to me. Baby, anybody that can help me declutter my home, come on over. I'll provide the wine. I'll provide the hard liquor. Whatever you need, I'll do the food. But I kind of almost like it. Now, don't call me to clean yours. Well, I was going to say, I think you're supposed to do it as well for your friends. I got to go back to theirs? Yeah. I don't know if that's going to work. I don't know if that's going to work too good, but I do like this idea of community coming together and socializing and helping each other because I don't know about you, but things have gotten very complicated as of late. And to have somebody kind of get me back on track, I could probably get with this one. You know what I like about this, too, is that you don't. Always have to go spend money to hang out with your friends, you know Oh, I mean, I would be having wine at the decluttering event as well, but you don't always have to eat You don't always have to drink other things you can do I think Deja's at the producer camp too with a thought on this what you got so it's so funny I saw my friend was I didn't tell them the friends I was gonna invite to this I was like, I want to do like a paint and sip and invite my friends over But what we're really gonna do is paint my house Oh, my God. I feel like that is the only way that I could get my friends to do something like that if I trap them in there and they have no other choice. But I feel like you give them alcohol, then they're like, OK, food and alcohol. I feel like most times people will be OK with it. I mean, I would enjoy painting a house a little tipsy. What do you think? Yeah. Yeah, I know we're all like it or not, but I actually hate it. Really? Really? I'm not for the cleaning and doing the brooming and all that. I don't want to go to your house. I definitely don't want you to come to my house and see my dirt all over the place. Yeah. You know, I'm just not for it. And plus, I'm very meticulous. I like my things to be in a certain way, certain things. You know, if the candle's not in the right spot, I'm a little annoyed. Yeah, I'm annoyed. I'm annoyed. So I'm putting me down for no. This one is not it. Sunny, I want to know what you think. You know, my house is so organized. You know, no kids, no pets, no plants. You know, like, only thing I have to keep alive is myself. And everything stays in place. So I love helping out my friends. Like, one of my friends just moved, and we all went over there. We helped her pack. See, I like that stuff. But I do not like... I don't really like people coming over to my house at all. Seeing your mess. Yeah, no, there is no mess. I just don't like, I don't need help because I'd like to do it myself because I know it's going to get done right. And I just, I'm not, I don't really entertain. I just like my space. You look like an entertainer, though. I like to go and entertain, but my space... She doesn't want to do it at her home. I don't really do a lot of entertaining. She'll entertain. And I'm always doing things to my home. Like, I'm remodeling my bathroom right now, and I'm doing it myself. I'm YouTubing it. Look at you! But don't touch anything. All right, well... Like, don't come over and touch anything. Don't touch anything in her home. That brings us to our Fox 5 Live line. Inseparable question. Joining a chore club with friends. All right. 90% do not like it. Wow, that's actually, like, a really shocking number. We'd like to hear from you throughout the evening. Go to fox5dc.com slash lion, or you can scan the QR code on your screen right now to go ahead and cast your vote. We will check the results coming up later in the shows. We want to hear from you. Stay with us. We'll be right back. 90%. I told you. Welcome back in. Frontier Airlines is adding a little more luxury to its low-cost flights. The airline has opened bookings now for... Why are you laughing? The airline is running Frontier first class. It is trying, okay? So it's open bookings for its new first-class seats. With the first flights taking off this upcoming March, the premium selection will take up the first two rows with just two on each side of the aisle, up to 37 inches of legroom and Italian leather upholstery. But the catch is, you can laugh Don't laugh again. Food and drinks are not included. You did. Sutton, does that negate the point of the first class? What's the point? Okay, listen. If you're on... I hate to say it. Go ahead. No, because you made me laugh, Ellen. Now, you know, I flew Frontier one time. I had to bring my own chair. You know, it was like a living room. You know, it was a fold-out chair. I had to bring my own seatbelt. Oh, my goodness. That's hilarious. So, like, there is no first class on there. I just feel like Frontier got it wrong. I just feel like they got it wrong. Like, give free drinks if you want people to pay more. Everybody deserves free drinks on that flight. Everybody, all the way to the back. I mean, maybe I'm wrong, but I always thought that was sort of the point of first class. Like, I don't fly first class often, but if it's not too much of an expense, I will only pay for first class. To have free drinks and snacks. Poor baby. Like, why else would you go to first class for, like, two extra inches of leg room? That's such a waste. What's the point? Yeah, at this point, Frontier is going to hate me because the last time I was on Like It or Not, they were talking about the bags, and I don't like this either. So I'm just not a fan of Frontier. They charge you for the bags. They charge you for everything else, and now you want me to pay more for no drinks? I'm just not, yeah. I mean, at this point, I think just fly a non-budget airline in coach. Yeah. Right? Pretty much. Versus paying for, and I'd like to know, I don't know if they've released, how much more money are you paying for first class on Frontier? I don't drink so like this wouldn't matter to me because I'm like I'm not no because like and like I make up my stuff in food trust me I eat enough to make up for the drinks but you know they're not even giving me food that's no food yeah yeah I think the only I mean I'm a nervous flyer so I I'm a drinker on a plane and that's the fun of first class. And it comes in a little, like, this nice little champagne flute sometimes, a nice little glassware as opposed to a plastic cup. I think we all do not like it. Okay. We are now going to move on. It's actually a very interesting story. Across college towns, there's a new trend called Rent-A-Moms, and that is popping up. It is billed as a way to help students living far away from home. So lots of these services say they offer support. Not surveillance of students as they adjust to their life on their own. And these rent-a-moms, they are not cheap. One woman offers a multi-tiered package ranging from $1,300 to $2,500 per semester. The first package comes with a laundry service, a monthly check-in, and a finals week survival kit, which is packed with treats. The highest adds monthly dorm cleaning for up to three rooms. And a comforter wash? Okay, sometimes you do need a comforter wash. That's true. And there may be a real need for this. UnitedHealthcare reports that 69% of college students experienced a mental or behavioral health concern in the past year. Al, is this supportive or coddling? This is something I know where I'm from. Ain't no black mother doing this. Thank you. This is a part of you have to grow the you-know-what up. I mean, I just don't understand how kids can take organic chemistry but don't know how to work a washing machine. This is confusing to me. I... I don't get it. And I'm a professor. I see these students, and it's quite true. They do need coddling, and this is helping them. So I see the business purpose of this. But I know from my household, my mother's not paying $2,500 for somebody to do my laundry. You better go to that laundry room with your laundry bag and wash your clothes. Well, you know, Sonny, the thing I was thinking is that I love the idea of, like, moms. Coming to help these college students. Because sometimes you'll see moms doing free hugs and free advice. I feel like the charm of a mom stepping in to do these things goes away when they're like, give me $4,000. Who has the money? If you want a cleaning service for your kid, just pay a cleaning service. But rent a mom to support your kid and hand over a chunk of change. Would you pay a woman to hug on your child? Yeah, but I'm hugging on my child. That's a lot of money. That's a good point. Like, are they weird? That's weird. You're hugging on my child? I'm paying you to go hug my child because he's in his feelings? Get him a weighted blanket and a popsicle. I like this one for the aspect of the cleaning, though. Like, I do enjoy that because, you know, as we know now, I don't really want to go clean anybody else's stuff. Yes, you do not. So, yeah, so I like it for the cleaning aspect. You know, there's a lot of really... You know, just benefits from just having somebody that's going to come around and, you know, help you do things, especially when you're in college for the first year. Just a big adjustment. Would your mother pay for this? No, she's definitely not paying for this. She's watching right now. I know she's looking at me like, you know, you're tripping. But there are cleaning services that are cheaper. You're like paying this woman $4,000 to go like do. It's a little weird. Well, also, I would think if the concept is it's sad because your kid is far from home, it wouldn't cost $4,000 to fly to see your kid. That's true. That's true. Right? I think the pricing is odd. Yeah. Okay, we're gonna move on. But I think we're all suspicious. All right, a Reddit thread asked users which unwritten rules of etiquette they refuse to follow. I know you all are gonna have some good ones. These were the responses. I often don't respond immediately to missed calls or text messages. I don't say you're doing anything when someone sneezes. Greeting cards, they're way overpriced, and people look at them for like five seconds. Someone else wrote, they can't bring themselves to join in on congratulatory email chains. And another said, if you offer to pay for something, I'll politely decline exactly one time. If you insist on paying again, then I'm going to let you. I don't have the energy to go back and forth, and I love not spending money. I totally understand that. I like that. Anthony, do you agree with any of these? Do you have your own? No, I mean, I'm not really agreeing with them, you know, too many, but I mean, we do have, of course, we all have like social rules that we got to follow, but none of these are really sticking out to me to this, like, you know. You're an etiquette man. Yeah, I'm just, I like things to be the way that they are, you know, we'll follow, you know. There's certain things that you just need to do amongst life. Be respectful, be nice to each other, you know, be a safe, prudent person in life and just do that, you know, and we'll be good. That's great, that's great, but when you're on this chain with like 50 people and everyone's replying to like I'm not hopping on and then like people are like reply to all and I just need everyone to understand like you can just send reply and you don't have to reply all because now we're all on this chain and it's bothering me, you know, like on my email chain. So I'm like, I'm not replying to this chain to congratulate someone like it's weird. Well, and then also how awkward when like 55 people respond to one person's goodbye, they're leaving the company chain and then no one responds to the next person who's leaving in two weeks like that. That feels awkward. It's just, that's weird. I think also, I like the one where... We do this sometimes, like, me and my friends, like, someone will be like, no, I'm going to pay. Right. And they're like, we're not about to argue. Go ahead. Yeah, go ahead. That one, for sure. Right? Like, I'll go ahead. Like, I'll get the next one, but, like, we're not going to argue about that. Yeah, we're not. Go ahead, pay. Well, I'm going to tell you this. I'm a big etiquette guy. I have an Emily Post in every room in my home. However, I'm at the tender age now where if I don't like it, I ain't doing it. I don't care. If I don't want to say bless you after you sneeze in the same car that I'm in in the car, I ain't going to say it. You're not a bless you person? I mean. I mean, it may be if it comes to Thursday, maybe I'm in the mood, maybe not. I mean, I just sometimes it lands like that. OK, bless you. I feel like it's like it's like it's like an immediate response. Yeah, I don't think I could give up the bless you. But the rest, I understand. And the paying. If you offer to pay, you're not hearing from me. I do tell people, don't get me cards for my birthday. I read it and I throw it away. Really? We have to go to break, but I think a card is nice. I'm just like, it's clutter. It's clutter in my house. After the break, we're talking about string cheese. String cheese. And we'll show you why. It's clutter in my house. Thank All right, welcome back in. We want to know, what do you think? What is the right way to eat string cheese? you The Dallas Cowboys posted online their different ways. Take a look at this. How do you eat your Here's string cheese. Open it. You grab it. watching. Then you crack it open like this. You take your time. I ain't going to eat it. I touched all on it. You're not supposed to bite it like that. And then I do that, and I do 80. If I'm hungry at night, if I'm not hungry, I want to look at the castle, I want to look at the park. If I'm hungry, yeah. You know what I mean? Okay, I just want to let everyone know, I went upstairs to the Little Cafeteria to buy us string cheeses today. We're out. We usually have string cheese. We're out. Which means everyone loves string cheese. Anthony, Deja ate the last string cheese. Thank you so much, Deja. How do you eat string cheese? Yeah, I mean, like you said, it's the only way. You got to take your time with it, and you really need like a cracker. I mean, by itself, it's just kind of crazy to me. Really? Yeah, I feel like just eating straight cheese by itself. That's kind of wild. Don't you think? I mean, I don't know. You need a cracker or something. No, peel it by itself. And it has to be very cold. And you peel it. And then when it gets to be thin, then you bite it. I like it. When it gets to be thin, oh. Then you just chop it. Oh, interesting. So you do both. You peel it and then you just. No, I'm not playing with my cheese. I'm not. This is not a love affair with my cheese. I'm not stroking it. I'm not peeling it. I am eating the cheese. You just bite it. I am eating the cheese. You do not peel it once. No, I haven't matured. To stroking and stringing the cheese. I got to eat the cheese. Yeah. I feel like it's okay. That's fine. That's fine. I thought the weird one was how did he fray it? Like he only, did you see that? He only pulled the top few, but didn't pull it all the way down. It is a little weird when you like pull it all apart and then it's just like a bunch of like thread in your mouth or something. I don't know. It's just like weird. Well, he makes so much money, he can do whatever he wants to do with his cheese. Cheers. Cheers. Yeah, that's a good point. I've never seen anyone eat anything with pulled cheese, though. Perhaps we will do this in the Fox 5 News. Like, you don't pull it, then you put it on something else. I'm a charcuterie fan, so, you know, I like, I'm almost like... You're killing me with stringing this cheese in the cracker at the same time, sir. Yeah, I mean, let's get a pepperoni, man. The amazing part is that you won't eat the string cheese without a cracker. The whole point of string cheese is to eat it alone. You do regular cheese. Cheese is not a protein. What is it? Okay. I'm eating. That's enough of the string cheese. Coming up, we've got poll results. I'm hungry. Joining a chore club with friends. All right. We're moving along. We'll be right back. Okay. Oh, I love you. You should be the first one. Stop, stop, stop. Back in here, we've got one last check on that poll. Joining a chore club with friends, 71% of you do not like it, 29% do like it. I wonder why. I guess it's because you don't like people in your homes or you don't want to return the favor. I don't mind helping people. I just don't want you to come help me. I don't need help. Okay, I think most people... Yeah, I know, you're... Okay, that's fine. All right, take a look at this. After the show, you can head over to Fox Local for Do You Like It or Not with producer Chris. Go ahead and scan that code to join the Zoom room, and you can give your opinion on these topics and so much more. And before we wrap up, Anthony, tell us what you got going on. Well, we got a lot of things going on, but you can definitely check out the season two of Welcome to Chocolate City that's going to be premiering. Yes, it's coming soon. So definitely want to check it out. It's a great show ran by the amazing Kayla Orlando. So it's a good series. Season one's out on YouTube now.
