Alex, good morning. Good morning. Hello. It's always great to see you. Alex, by now, it's been like fifth hour, sixth hour of being on the air. So good morning. Thanks again, as we extend. Tell us about it, because we were chatting. I obviously follow you, and I was just asking before we got started, What is the Varnell Hill Show? The Varnell Hill Show is a spinoff of Martin. Martin, he had an episode called Varnell Hill, and he, like, went to L.A., and Varnell didn't want him on the show or whatever, so, like, he, like, came on the set, and it was, like, Jodeci and all that, and, like, interrupted the whole thing. So, basically, they made, like, a spinoff of that show, And now Tommy Davidson has his own show But it's not, it doesn't have like the same Storyline, if that makes any sense Like they kind of flipped it and Martin is playing His, I think he's playing like A gangster cousin or something like that So yeah, so like It's a show that Basically I got I was like started off as background And then maybe Like I would say a month Of me doing background They came to me and said that they wanted to write me in and it was amazing like i couldn't even believe it when the writers came to me stacy shout out to stacy she came to me in the lunchroom was like we're writing you in i'm like what and i got to also write a part of the script like my lines oh wow so it's authentic to like what you feel like should be done yeah character yeah they was like can you write a joke i was like i sure can it's like you have it for another hour five minutes an hour wow five minutes i was yeah i'm ready let's go and tell us about your character on the show then um i was playing his uh PA i was playing like an assistant um to Varnell Hill yeah and you but it was a background position and they just liked you and your social media yeah and just out of nowhere so you didn't even really audition for the part they just created it for you yeah yeah they just created for me i didn't audition at all um Robbie Reed is also the casting director she started following me on social media um now i met now Evans he's also one of the writers on the project he is the executive producer of Wild and out with Nick Cannon so yeah like they really just was pushing for me because he was already um now was already following me prior to me even coming down there because when i went down there he was like oh you the word i can't say he's like from philly i'm like yeah so yeah like it just all just came out of nowhere and it was amazing but not really out of nowhere because you've been building yeah definitely for sure i have been definitely grinding and you know putting in the work and yeah definitely going at it for quite some time for a little bit because they say what you have to be like be ready for when that moment strikes right absolutely absolutely right stay ready y'all gotta be you gotta get ready all right and then we're getting to the topics at hand but there's also something you can you can tease a little bit but you can't give us all the details Let's go on social Your girls get her own show Yes, I am I'm getting my own TV series All I can say is that It will be developed around me It's not much I can say And you're starring in it Yes, it's going to be my series Wow My series Have you already started on it? Yes And you can't say where it's going to be, right? No, I can't. Don't get yourself in trouble. We don't want to block no person. I can't say, but yes, it will be coming. So make sure y'all keep your eyes open in the next, I would say, year or two. Because it still has, you know, got to go through the whole production process and all of that. But, yeah, I'm really excited about it and just how everything is just like, it feels like everything is just coming. And then, like, I also do music. They done picked up my music and put it in a movie for a movie scene. It's just amazing, you know. What movie? It's actually some, it's called Bullet. it's actually a project that um i think like the mayor's office was involved with or something like that it was something that they said it was like a it's like a teens speaking on like the youth in philadelphia and the violence and stuff like that so they use my um my uh track for the party scene okay yeah so they're having like a little you know teen party and then that's when they play the song so blessings aplenty are continuing people should give a follow on social give us all follow on social media all right so i want to get you guys opinion on something you know we've talked about before Sarah Fontana influencer she's got a i think it's called it's giving is her podcast she's a relationship person a dating coach and she was talking about who dating is for so for men for women what's the point of dating let's hear what she had to say and then i'll find out what you guys think about all this who do you think dating is for wait what who do you think dating getting to know someone going out having the dates dating getting to know someone you're not in a relationship the talking phase the show calls it who do you think that's for is how who is supposed to be or who is for who is it for the both of them definitely not no it's for women wait why do you say that dating is for women and we know it's for women because if it was just for a man you know what a man would do bring her over to the house and watch netflix he wouldn't spend no money on an actual date dating industry the dating dating is for women it is to make women happy it is to create experiences for women even date night have we ever noticed how women will say well he never plans dates for me it's not in his nature it's not in his nature but he's doing it to try to make you happy trying to make you happy dating is for women so i want to find out what you guys think we're gonna break real quick um like 15 seconds so is dating for women that is our social media question of the day and we will get to it in 15 seconds at Wortler Madness 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 all right our question of the day we got 15 seconds to think about it thank you Wortler Madness all right is it for women when you hear that what's your immediate response to it if i had to answer i think so really i do you agree a little bit because i feel like a guy's not going to be like oh i wonder if she's going to take me on a date like i feel like that's more so like something that women think about but i do feel like uh guys also enjoy it i feel like some guys like splurging when they really like a woman like i feel like the more a guy likes a woman the more he actually wants to do things for her even without her asking that's just my opinion you know okay i think that's probably true i think that the whole dating thing yes like if you like to do it men with money they like going on well i don't know how to answer that going on the yachts and you know having a woman and stuff like that but the dating scene before you're in a relationship is about keeping the woman happy doing things for the women you agree with this uh i i do think like traditionally that is how it is but i feel like nowadays you're seeing more men also being like well what what about me what's in it for me or what how am i how am i also going to feel good in this okay i have seen more men say things like that you know it's not just about you we also want to feel like we have a reason to be in this thing what are you going to do to make me feel special or whatever i feel like her point and i i agree with her point like that men would be fine just going somewhere and doing nothing like the whole concept of spending money the whole concept of we've got all these things that go viral like don't take me here don't take me here this is not enough money to spend I think that dating has become about what do you do just to make the woman feel good but honestly I feel like today dating is just like voided like I don't even feel like people date anymore I don't see the younger generation like how they did back in the day I feel like that was more so back in the day when guys actually showed up, met your father hello, sir, and all that stuff I haven't seen that in years. So the dating industry, the dating as a rule has kind of gone away. I feel like it's gone away. But I definitely feel like it's catered more to women All right. Is dating still happening? I'm looking to you because you're single Yeah, it still happens I mean, you have boys You don't have friends. They don't date. I mean, I'm old. So most of my people are either in a relationship There's older people or single people They're settled in. But I guess, I mean, I think the date night thing, like she said date night is to keep your significant other happy. Now, there are things, I guess to Alex's point, we got Sixers tickets And that was largely because my girlfriend was like, you really like going to Sixers game. I enjoy the Sixers. let's plan date night around that but we're also in a relationship see i agree on something like that though because i feel like that's catering to both of you it's giving a woman what she wants her time and y'all getting to know each other but it's also you know with it's with it being sports it's catering to you know keep the guy's attention and something that he's actually interested in so y'all meet in halfway you know and when i hear date night i think people in relationships anyway i don't think single people well i think that she was talking about before so it was the whole like the dating industry yeah they're getting to know each other phase of it i think once you're in a relationship hopefully yeah yeah that hopefully that changes when i was speaking about the not dating i meant like you know getting to know someone right i feel like the younger generation really does that today all right social media question of the day you can give us a follow on social media you can chime in we posted it some of the feedback oh natural beauty says I think it's for the benefit of both. But I can see how guys are exhausted from dating because they're being used just to get free meals and go different places. Yeah. But see, that's the thing. There are a lot of girls. That's why I said the younger generation will literally go on a date just to eat somewhere. Like, I'm getting a meal. I'm getting some crab legs. And they make sure they order something expensive like a lobster or something. I've seen it. But it's the younger generation. All right. Dr. Timothy says dating is cool It's an opportunity for us to be different It just has to be something that we're willing To continue to do so don't Start off dating on a level that You're not going to maintain If things continue And then James Sanders says Wine and dine is just what some Women want it was not about Going out there and That's true There are some women that just want to be Wine and dine and have Really no interest in you just want to see what they can get out of you all right we're gonna take a quick break we'll be right back give us a follow on social media these two i'm learning from the influencers in the room so you can find out how to get those numbers up um ai continues to expand into your industry find out what you think about that quick break and we'll be right back Alex and Mike Alex and Mike it's on fleek 11 o'clock every day alex and lauren because i wasn't sure about putting LSD up on the screen Bill Alex and LSD people up in the office like wait wait what what is going on with the show down there today guys uh lauren LSD Daniels comedian on different shows got our own thing coming out soon got a hit song we we can't say or play it's a little even the title it's not safe for TV it's not safe but you go check it out yes um we were talking during the break and i and we've spoken on social media and and interacted here and didn't talk too much about your personal life because i felt like that's your thing to bring up but we were talking during the break you were pretty forthcoming with the fact that you were dealing with medical challenges serious medical challenges not too long ago yes um i was supposed be probably about close to like a year ago i was getting ready to go on a comedy tour and it was gonna be like a 30 city like i was gonna hit up all the east coast and you know midwest down south and just do it like that um but then i found a lump i found a lump in my breast and um yeah i had to undergo surgery i had to get a lumpectomy in march and they removed it so i am fine now thank god but it was literally one of the most scariest and terrifying moments of my life it was just like it was like one of them things where like i couldn't believe it it was happening to me yeah if that makes any sense like you know like you you know about it you hear about it you know breast cancer and you you know you see so many women battle this but like it's like when something you know it exists you know but it's like when it happens to you it's like what yeah like i couldn't even believe it like even when i got like a emails when it was like a um like a celebration you know right you beat it yeah like a celebration to come down to the hospital and i'm just like it didn't i was just reading it like what like this is me this is really happening to me this is really my life and then it was just a crazy process and then with the doctors at first they were saying that it was my ribs that i was feeling and i'm like no and that's the important thing make sure you advocate for yourself because no one i don't care doctor including no one knows your body more than you when you feel like something is wrong like i know my body i know what's been there and what just appeared you know what i'm saying and then it was growing kind of like rapidly the uh the lump so and it wasn't a traditional place i know they always tell us in the shower lift up your arm and go right but it wasn't in the place it was in the front and it was in my connective tissues and that's why i was also hurting too because it was in my connective tissues which was like as it was growing leaning on my nerves and all of that stuff so it was it was like a lot of discomfort that's how i even discovered it because it was causing me pain so yeah i just had my um um lumpectomy in march they removed it and that was just a crazy process as well but they said it's going to be like two years for my body to kind of be fully restored i mean it'll never be restored restored but you know for them they just said it would be two years for everything like my uh nerves because like where they went in it like stretched your nerves so i had a lot of nerve damage scar tissue and stuff like that and i do sporadically like where the tumor was i still do get like a pain like where it was pretty new i mean this is not yeah march it you know when you think about it but it's like i'll just be sitting there and then it's just like where that spot was it just like it's like a shooting throbbing pain well and they said that's normal at least for the next two years yeah they said yeah they said it could be you know just my body trying to restore itself and the tissue growing back and just everything just i mean because it's like you just intruded and bust through something i mean that's a lot of damage i think it is and we appreciate you being willing to share because i think it was we were talking during the break i think it's it's important when people find out that other people have similar situations had to fight for themselves had to advocate for themselves how important it is to do that absolutely but also you can beat it you know and you can beat it and you can continue on this upward journey of success that you were on pre this uh you are on post that and that's the amazing thing about this bill is like i just think about where i was a couple months ago and then it's just like I was just so mentally gone like just mentally numb you know what I mean and then not knowing in a few months like God had so much joy coming you know so yeah it's amazing I bet it's even sweeter now it's even sweeter now like wow you showing out there we're gonna take a quick break but all of that kind of stuff stories like yours and we could we could tell them all day when you hear it's always darkest before the dawn you know and god gives his biggest struggles to his strongest warriors when you feel like you're at your lowest point is when you are about to turn things over absolutely and i think that remembering that is encouraging to all of us if you're going through something right now um you can come out the other side and get a hit tv show and right into the thing i'm excited i'm sitting there like wait when we're gonna do it all right quick break we'll be right back on bam or bow or whatever just happy that you're watching alex and mike You like the picture that's a good one what like celebrity magazine or something like that yeah yeah i was on it was the cover of august okay that's good stuff all right so you do comedy you do skits you do all of the things dibble and dabble All the things. And there are a bunch of comedians who are starting to speak out on AI just flat out stealing your jokes. There's a woman named Julia Jasunis, who is the latest to go viral. Here's what she had to say. Another AI bot just stole my joke. I bought a two-bedroom so I could rent out the other bedroom. I bought a two-bedroom so I could rent out the other bedroom. And I got this really cute roommate. And I got this really cute roommate. But we made out, so I had to make a move. but we made outside to make him move i know it pulled from that exact video because i said i know to a guy reacting in the audience i know i know from his bedroom into mine and um from his bedroom into mine and and at the end i say and um and that's where she ends the video these ai bots are going viral and people think that they're real people and if you're watching these videos and you're not realizing that these are computers regurgitating our jokes that we've crafted over time on stage and honed and whittled down into a punchy bit then you need to get out and take a walk and go see a live show so another ai bot so for clarity and i cut that one that's for another clip um so i did have to cut some of her stuff so she was because it was a long she was upset about what was going on and the you need to get out was largely speaking to the people who were following these bots you know now julia has about 105 000 followers that's the original, that's the human yes, the bot who is stealing her and other people's jokes currently has 250 000 followers and them telling her joke has 10 times more views likes comments than the person who actually created the joke as a comedian, i know right oh man that's just flat out stealing like you saw it word for word but who do you go after, who do you go after like me and AI we're gonna have a problem like i can see me now talking to my computer going crazy like really like how do you fight ai they know every move is calculated you know what i mean um i don't like as a comedian you work so hard on your craft and to see someone, not even someone, like a computer ai stealing it then you have more followers than me you have you you got millions of views on my stuff you're making money on your stuff on my content it's just it says i don't even know like what to say because like we we know we had talked about earlier you can't you can't contact them you can't you know reach out the ai and say hey you're stealing my stuff but i mean i'm sure there's a person running the actual site i just don't know how you hold them accountable it's like because who who are you suing i guess the person who created the ai yeah i guess there's always a human behind it yeah now a couple people online have said that they tried to get their jokes taken down and the the the ai who does who follows the the appeal was like this is just you know the ai is just telling a joke and comedians take additional jokes and liberties with jokes all the time why is it different with ai so so wait so basically this is the ai person saw that girl's content took her content just converted it yes i mean that's what it looks like that's what she's claiming is word for word i mean i don't care computer human i'm mad across the board i don't care who it is because this happens to me plenty of times really yeah people just take your stuff yeah so reenacting my uh you know content because you do actual skits and things yeah you know i mean that's what made me create miss molly because i got so tired of people stealing my content and it's just like people you people don't understand until you actually are a creator like when you take your time to create and you're not one of them people that steal and you're trying to be original and give people something different you know because everyone's copying everything and you pride yourself in that and you work hard I mean it's not easy just thinking of jokes and content and creating and all of that stuff and then to have someone just come along and take it and then they're more successful than you and you are the one that made it i mean that's messed up and you understand her feelings we need to take one more break you understand her feelings that she's almost upset with the people who are liking and following the ai as well well it is i feel like on us to check and see because if you support it then they get money and then they get to do more things but if you don't support it then maybe they won't keep doing what they're doing you know yeah yeah but why do we think that she got less views than the AI did you see the AI we were talking about this in the hall you see the AI because people are superficial they created a little Barbie looking short shorts not even looking at the crowd you know they're sitting there looking at the camera telling the joke with an AI crowd in the background quick break we'll be back some of that's on us too y'all we need to do the right thing i look some money out of here i'm sitting here reading how they're making money so we might have to do another show right in this chair welcome to fam all right we gotta go how do people follow you um you can follow me at lauren on instagram at lauren lsd
