BAM: Bill, Alex & Mike: Junk Removal, Hard Economy & Jason Kelce

Bam, Bill, Alex, and Mike, on the airwaves, giving what you like. Topics on fleek, 11 o'clock. BRM. What's up, guys? It's Bam. The team is here, jumping into it. All good? Everybody's good? Good, man. Yeah? You don't sound good, man. It's a little laughing in my G energy. Yeah, you know what I mean? I wasn't here yesterday, so I'm warming up. You know what I'm saying? It's like getting back in the groove. It's like my Monday on Bam. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, you didn't do your lotion. I said, you didn't do your usual process. I did it upstairs, though. He's changing up on us. He's hosting shows himself. LeBron has the powder. I know. You got the lotion. I got the lotion before the show. People expect it. And I thought about it. Even when I was doing it, I was like, I should just carry this downstairs with me. I was like, nah, I'll just do it right here. Yeah, people expect it. Like Alex said. LeBron was like, oh, no, no, I did the powder back in the locker room. Right, right, right. You ain't LeBron. Like, what is going on here? All right. good to see everybody always great to have the team intact uh so another one of those who's wrong scenarios i feel like we actually have a couple of those today might be some argument going on today so there was a company apparently according to the post remember when we did the story about the guys who came back and got their fence yeah they posted the fence they didn't get paid for it they came back to get it apparently there was a junk removal company who did their part and then the person didn't want to pay allegedly and this is what happened out in the clip what the trash it was i don't know if we can go back to that section of the video it looked like it was construction debris it looked like to see like the results like i wanted him to go back over there Like, show me the mess that he left behind. So a whole dumpster full of stuff there. Alex, they don't follow the action. Look at that. It was not a professional photographer. That's the problem when they gave everybody cameras. Y'all don't really know what y'all doing out there, man. So obviously it has sparked the debate that we will have. That is our question of the day. We will get to the social media question of the day, find out what we think, find out what you think, in 15 seconds. At Quarter 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, we might actually need them. This might be a legal situation to break this down. All right, when you see all of that, who's wrong in this scenario? I mean, you should have paid them. Like, it's not a matter of who's right or wrong You should have paid him Like, there's consequences, man And obviously the owner of this business was like Look, you ain't paying me I'm going to dump this stuff right back on your porch We good Leave it back in the yard We good, we even now Alright, are you on the side of the construction Or the dumpster company? I don't know That's how I felt about the other one It's like, I get it, you need to be paid But then do you have to double pay? Because you're still going to have to get that picked back up So let's say you did that because you didn't get paid. So then they pay for that. But then it's still got to be picked back up. Or will you come back once I pay you and pick it back up again, which means you did twice the work. You understand what I'm saying? I understand. It's strategic. Follow the ball. It's on principle. Yeah, sometimes. And odds are you're not calling me back anyway. Well, that's true. Right? So then you have to pay twice. You got to pay another company. No, you're going to have to pay somebody else. That's what I'm saying. You pay twice. That means you pay twice. But you didn't pay twice because you didn't pay the first time. Well, I'm assuming you'll pay. Let's hope that they'll pick it back up once you pay them. Nah. All right. I mean, they don't know. They might. If I don't pay you and then you come back, you dump everything back in my yard, I'm not calling you back. I'm already mad at you. You're mad at me for not paying you, and I'm mad at you for dumping it back in my yard. Our relationship is over. We can't fix this relationship. There's no sense in me calling you back. I'm calling another. Now, the downside is he's probably going to pay more because he's going to have to call another business, Who he probably was like You know what I'm saying This dude wanted more Than this other cat But you should have Paid him And if it went viral The other business is like I know what happened Last time So I'm going to need A little extra fee On top of it When we go through it I don't know I wish I had Like that principle stance I wish I could take That principle stance That Mike has taken When like Pico cut off my electric You know Or when the cable bill Well Bill Like what are you going to do Go down and fight Pico No Like you can't Be that principle or not So I am acknowledging that I've been the person in the past, hopefully I'm more responsible now as I got my credit score up, I have been the person in the past who didn't necessarily pay the bill on time. Right. Like, I was going to get to it. Like, I was coming to you. Sometimes I still don't pay them on time. Right. But once they get to threatening me, I'm like, all right, all right, all right. Because you don't want the Shut off notice? Yeah, right, right. When I get the little red line across the Pico joint. Stop doing that. No, I still get them. You just come. You just pay your bill. Does that hit your credit? No. It's only once they shut it off, but if they give you the notice, like, oh, this is the last, it doesn't. No, it only hits your credit if, I can't believe I'm acknowledging that notice. It only hits your credit if they shut it off and it goes to collections. It doesn't even hit your credit if they shut it off. Really? As long as you turn it back on. It's just inconvenient for you to go back down there and they make you pay all the fees to get it turned back on. Oh, so you still got to pay money to get it back on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Your credit's just okay. Yeah, yeah. And you got to pay more money to have it back on. Then you got to pay the shut off fees. The shut off fees and all that. All that. It's the inconvenience of it, but nah, I'll wait for the... I've probably got a red line letter coming soon. Yeah, you may or may not have to pay for them to dig up your front yard if they shut certain utility bills off. I may or may not have had to pay for that in my younger years when I was trying to balance bills. When you're in a relationship with someone, as long as I've been in a relationship with Pico, we're going to have ups and downs. And there's going to be times I'm going to be mad at them, they're going to be mad at me, but it's like a marriage. You're like, we'll figure this out. Is Pico understanding or is this more, is the burden more on you? Are you working harder in the relationship or is Pico? Well, I mean, we both have to work. Pico's much more consistent. Pico's way more consistent, right? Because I'll be like, whatever. And then they be like, yo, here's the yellow letter. Here's the red letter. They try to work it out. They go to counseling. They're sitting down, go through therapy. What's the yellow? That means you're just late. The yellow is the warning. That's like the yellow light. You're late. You're really, really late. Like, you're late. You're really, really, really late. You're shut off late. Then you get the shut off letter. You know what I'm saying? And then they're like, if you're having problems, you can give us a call. I'm like, the problem is I just don't want to pay y'all, man. They're very committed in the relationship. And we start off with them just as an example. Not water company, all of them. Yeah, all of them. They will sit there and work with you. But I don't really have the solution if I ain't got it. So all of your nice talk and the multiple colored letters, they don't necessarily fix the relationship if I don't have what you need from me. They do talk to you like they don't want to turn it off. Like, I don't want to leave this relationship. Oh, that's sweet I'm paying you, why would you want to leave this relationship But you're not That's how we got to this point But we'll catch up So going back to the story of the day We both, and I think she's way too Responsible for this conversation Lynn did a way better job Raising up That's not true You know he's watching, I heard you mention him earlier today Yeah, he did weigh in But now he's probably going to be jealous Because we've replaced him with some other attorneys we can still get a judge we got a half hour we get the second half so what do people think about this i would think that people with our experience would would expect a little bit more patience from the company dumping it in your yard i was gonna pay you i just needed you to give me a minute but just saying if it's you i'm dumping it you should came back and dumped it that means they've already asked him for their money they've been very nice right they've been patient or he was supposed to pay them in the moment because i got i find it hard to believe they would have taken all that stuff and left and not get paid before they left you know what i'm saying so he was supposed to pay them in the moment once everything was removed he didn't pay him so it's okay man, we're just gonna leave it here, there you go all right, no more Mr. Nice Guy, that is our question of the day, hit us up on social media and let us know what you think, Renee says pay your bills this is the only way that um they can get their property and leave yours, like they've got to take their thing back, Dr. Timothy, I get it, it could have been handled a little bit differently but I get it, like what's differently, doc I don't know, Dr. Timothy's patient, he sends the different letters, he hadn't gotten to it yet, I gotta get to another job man, leaving this right here, Enzo says you should have paid your bills, it's like a car if you don't pay for it, it'll get repossessed, this is a simple scenario, uh Kobe, ouch, I get the scenario and people choose to handle situations differently, I'm shaking my head and Ladybug says that both are wrong, she falls right there in the middle, now they're talking about me being adult pay for services, Bill a Fox let's go, that you bill, wait maybe they were just asking me to talk about something else, I don't No, they do come to me a lot, though Being a dope, he'll pay your bills on time Right, right. That's probably from Pico If the lights start flickering in here, that'll be something Listen, this bill's not in my name This ain't the one. When I get the notification that my alarm is not currently online, that's how I know it got shut off. Right. Quick break, and we will be right back. That's our first Who's Wrong in this scenario. We've got another one coming up after the break. How would you handle this? Stay tuned. And, bam, we'll break it down. Alex and Mike on the airwaves giving what you like. Topics on fleek, 11 o'clock every day. Yeah, good relationship with the utilities now, more or less. We worked through some things. It took a minute for us to get to that point. But now it's a loving, balanced relationship. So who's wrong? We had the first one. Don't they have a no shut-off rule in the winter or something? In the winter, yeah. Well, it depends. Don't go say that Oh my god Oh they can't get me Till April I'm good Oh my god A lot of people say that Don't be working the system You're ruining it For everybody else Why They get their money Eventually Cause if you're You know abusing it Then they might take it away That's not abuse Nah so they won't Shut it off And then you work out A payment plan Right See I know How to do all this From back in the day Now I try to pay the bill They're like yo You gotta pay this I'm like man I got till April Last week at March right start calling so what do i need to give you to keep this thing going we're professionals like this is late i don't know anyway all right so all of this ties into a challenging economy that we are all living in right now midterm elections are coming up people are saying affordability economy it's the number one thing that people are focused on right now so a person has gone viral for their interaction with a unhoused individual who asked them for course of money. Here's how it went. Hi, how are you doing? Can I get a dollar? I wish I had a dollar, man. I work every day. I work over 40 hours a week. Uncle Sam still takes all my money and gives it to people that don't want to work. What the **** is that all about? Where am I supposed to get a dollar? Huh? I'm asking you where? Where am I supposed to get a dollar? I work all week. I don't have a dollar. I got to buy bread that's on sale because it's day old. See that day old bread because i don't have a dollar waiting all right so the person who asked for the dollar was the one recording that's what i was trying to figure out like you had a cell phone and you ain't got a dollar and they had to post it i guess all right they got internet posted it it's not it's a working phone right like i mean maybe you just have wi-fi it might be at this point or it's ai but right yeah everything or it's a skit people right or it's a skit but i've seen people like you know, unhoused with cell phones. Like, it's, you know, they can find a wall with an outlet, plug it in, charge it up. You know what I'm saying? That's more common than you would think. There's a lot of unhoused individuals. Who fell off the things that he was charging his phone a few years, a few months back. They fell off the bridge or fell in the river. I mean, he died, but he was up there charging his phone. You know what I'm saying? They found an outlet. So, but yeah, my question was more about, like, yo, you recording this? Like, you asking me for a dollar and you recording it it's valid right now does that lead to you being more on the side of the person who's not coming up with the money who that somebody is sitting there with a cell phone right asking you for money look man it's tough out here bill you know what i'm saying and look a lot of people are scraping this ground to get by every day man and you know and it's a lot of people asking for money in the street if you stop and give a dollar to everybody who asks you for money you won't eat you know what i'm saying like between here and my crib if i stop and give a dollar to everybody who's saying who's standing in the middle of the street with a sign you know what i'm saying like so i get where homeboy is coming from it's like yo i go to work i'm working 40 hours a week man no i don't have a dollar to give you man because i'm struggling to get by too man but at least i'm still getting up and getting out in this world and going and trying to make an effort it's such a challenging discussion like they posting it in social media and the validity of the video aside for a second the the topic i agree with you it's it's so challenging because my gut is generally to just to try if i have it to give it to somebody or in certain circumstances i won't give people cash but i'll buy food or or buy whatever but times are tough right now and so I agree with you like there is there are several situations where people have had the discussion like like I'm going out there working all of these extra hours to give you money couldn't you be doing it as well now that removes the which is always challenging these types of topics that mental health challenges disability correct yeah right so not everybody who is out there or even most people who are out there are out there by choice some people are out there by circumstance But how do you determine who's who? And that's the problem, right? And listen, I give every now and again, too, man. But you don't know who's who. You don't know who's struggling. You don't know who just decided this is what I'm going to do. You know what I'm saying? And so what do you do? You know, you got to use discretion. You give when you can or when you feel it. But other times, like he caught my man at a bad time. Wrong day. You know what I mean? Wrong day. He just went in there and bought day-old bread because he broke. And he come walking out the store and you hit me. As soon as I come out the door, can I get a dollar? I'm like, yo, I get it. I hate when they're standing outside the convenience store. And I walk out the door, and they're like, yo, man, you got any spare change? I'm like, yo, man, why don't you go in there and put in an application? Well, and I don't think in today's society, I don't think any change is spare. Right. People are like, do you have any extra money? No, I don't have any extra money. I might try to help with the money that I have. None of this is extra. I might be able. None of this is spare. You might need a sandwich. I might be able to provide a sandwich or help out because I know what it's like when they shut off your utilities but with that being said like no I don't have any extra money it was a challenging one I think dude probably went a little too far in his expression but you get it you know when people are coming out having a tough day, message is received right he was like he probably just had the conversation himself at home like yo dad I gotta pay this I gotta take care of this I gotta do this and I gotta go get some food like let me go on down here and get myself a little can of tuna fish and some bread so I can get through my week. K.O. bread. Right. And then he walk out of the door and he's like, he gets hit with this. So I get where he's coming from, man. It's tough, man. Like a lot of cats are struggling, man. The struggle is real. Somebody just hit us up on social media. I'm a social worker. Cell phones and service are offered for free if you qualify. And they actually posted the link onto social media for people who need them. The Medicaid SNAP SSI situation that they posted So thank you For the information Because then maybe you can pay Pico I'm paying for these joints Daughter's wife I got a lot of cell phones on my phone What's the cut off Right We're about to cut this off But which number Are you getting ready to cut off I'm going to need this one to stay on. That's all I got to keep on. The other is I got an extra week before I can figure it out. Quick break and we'll be right back on BAM. She's putting all her business out in the street. We'll be back. Alex and Mike on the airwaves giving what you like. Topics on fleek. 11 o'clock every day. All right, BAM, jumping back into the discussion at hand. We've had some challenging topics today as we try to figure it out. And it's got people all over online jumping into the topics, letting us know their feelings and their feedback. So keep commenting. Hit us up on social media. Mike needs 62 people. Yo, come on, man. Let's get to this 8,000, yo. 62 people. We've been in this game for a lot of years. At Mike Greenidge. Green, I-D-G-E. Yo, man, just hop on, man. What do I need? I need a lot to get to the next one. Take your boyfriend's phone. Take your husband's phone. And just follow. Cousin's phone. Just hit follow on that. At Mike Greenidge. just get everybody all up on it all right so i feel like there's all kinds of stuff going on we've got another viral tip culture video but i actually have a pause on that for just a second because i'm looking at another one on the notes and i know that we are all uh jason kelsey what fans appreciate the kelseys and what have you did you see that he's getting criticism now because jason kelsey now works for network he does football games and and he did the eagles game this past weekend apparently there was criticism from both fans and management and a talking to him because he refers to the eagles as we and they said that he is it is bias presentation and bias announcer and so they're like we're working really hard to try to stop him from saying we and the other fans have taken issue with it. Valid criticism? It's valid, but, you know. He does say we a lot, and Philly fans, I think, love it. Right. It's so interesting that they set him up this way, though, because it's like if he's – because, of course, he's been a part of the network, but he was at the desk. And so if he's doing color commentary and calling the games, you'd think you'd start him off with another team. But they clearly wanted Jason Kelsey to do it because it's the Eagles. But then you get mad at him for using we, even though you were the one who placed him on the game with the Eagles, knowing that this is his first time doing the call. So it's like, if you wanted to set him up to succeed, why not have him do Pittsburgh Steelers versus somebody else or something and then eventually get to Eagles? But I have to feel like it's a little intentional that they wanted him to call the Eagles game. I think they wanted the we. You have to. If you want somebody who has inside perspective on that game and that's what you bring to the table, plus it's Jason Kelsey. What did you think he was going to do? I guess you think of Tony Romo and stuff. His first game that he called, was it a Cowboys game? I don't know. No, and he also was out for a while before he started calling games, right? And I think he's just learned, though. You know what I'm saying? He was a member of that team until he retired. You know what I'm saying? He wasn't a journalist. You know what I'm saying? So this whole idea of no cheering from the press box, like, that's his team. You know what I'm saying? So it's learned culture. Like, he'll get there. But you would think they would teach, because I know that there are some former players. The NFL does have a broadcast boot camp that they put former players in to get them ready and do that. So you'd think they'd cover that. But, I mean, you can hear something. And still, if it's so ingrained in you for years, it can be hard to, like, switch it off like that. But I know they definitely put them through some sort of boot camp because I know some people have gone through it. And I think it's fun to see. Look at them sitting there learning how to do things. He'll get there. I am now a broadcaster. I'm a journalist now. And they get jobs. Listen, I feel like most of the announcers now are – well, not most. Athletes are dominating. It's almost 50-50. Athletes, yeah. And it is interesting to hear because they've been on, you know, the sidelines, they've been on the field. They can give you more insight. I just don't – and I guess, again, because it was so close to his retirement that he now has gone – he's still actively involved with the Eagles. He's still coming in, going to practices. He still lives here. I guess – and I'm an Eagles fan. So I guess the whole we doesn't bother me as much. But it doesn't really bother me. like I think Troy Aikman was was great at his announcing and it was years from him being Cowboy but but it doesn't bother me when he tells the stories about you know in the huddle with the Cowboys and here's what we would do and here's how we would handle it he's he's always a Cowboy but that's different that's telling in the past and that applies because it's saying when he was a Cowboy this I think it was like Jason was like oh we lost the ball on that one we need to get in and do this. That's different than like, oh, when I was there, we did this. I don't care. I think there was a fumble and he was like, ooh, we shouldn't have done that or something. Because I'm an Eagles fan. If it was somebody else, it might be. Like Mike Tomlin, everyone's loving his, and he's doing this for the first season, I think. If he were to be like, if it were a Steelers game against the Eagles, how would we feel? We'd be like, we need to do better. We really could have done that. I don't know. I don't know if people would. Yeah, you'd have had it as part of a, you'd have had it as a bit of bam time. It would have been a moment, a question of the day. We in the Pet Party game? No, it would have been a question of the day. It would have been on the other side of every freaking thing. I don't know. I'm thinking about it. We know you're not petty, Bill. I am absolutely petty. I'm asking if the Eagles would have lost. And I don't dispute that. I think that my expectation for commentators, like I watch the Manning cast. Now, the difference is they have made the Manning cast, Peyton and Eli, into it is commentary. you know so they're not technically calling the game but they're absolutely homers you know who sit there on a national level and talk about their teams and Eli says we all the time when he's talking about the Giants it doesn't bother me I just don't have I don't expect him to be an unbiased journalist right you just gotta accept it it doesn't I don't care and yes I'm bothered me enough I think the fact that they are formerly you know played for these teams and they're discussing them they are we got a break before we get out of here yeah I got fired up And we're out. It's just that simple. Thank you so much for watching. But keep watching because Good Day Uncut starts right now. And then we're gone. Great stuff.
