If this were to officially happen that would allow each individual state to decide whether they want to ban it completely or not...based off of hearing they were barricading the court house, things may not go the way the majority wants it to.
Mel is on assignment and DZ is joined by Sorina B and Steph aka STeph StePHHHTh. Last weekend was the Tory Lowe clean up and the weather wasn't the best but Milwaukee's group chat was! Shout out to those that came out and helped or donated supplies!

This has got to be one of the wildest things we have all heard about in a while... Have any of you ever heard of this???
Happy Friday everyone! Today's show focuses on more mental health aspects all around, there's been a lot of suicides lately and Mel & DZ just want Milwaukee to know that the sad moment their feeling, won't last forever.

If someone came up to you as you were getting to the grocery store and they asked you to buy them food, but wanted to you to take them to a store almost two miles away, are you going???
Is DZ in the wrong for thinking this way or was he right to have his wife go home after this encounter?
Celtics are next on the list... Bucks can and WILL do what they need to do to keep their season going!
Why do all women do this and why do all men do this? Or most for that nature, very few have said otherwise but there's got to be some type of science to as why we do it this way...Which way do you shower?
Ja Morant gave his MIP trophy to one of his teammates but posted a whole video/picture about it on social media so is he being genuine or just doing it for the clout?
It's our last day of financial literacy month on MKE in the Morning and today we are with Brett Neilsen again who is the Business Relationship Director at Educators Credit Union & the squad talks a breakdown of loans and credit card debt

Weekend recap and weekend roundup! What makes a durag so "bad" and how did it get that reputation?

ASAP Rocky was arrested then released on bond, but why did they arrest him all of a sudden if this incident happened so long ago?
What. A. Situation. What would you do if you found yourself in this situation whether you knew about what was going on or actually saw them partake in it?
So people on planes don't need to wear masks anymore, and neither do students at MPS well...not anymore, now they do again...or do they not?!? This is so confusing!
Victor Frasher from Educators Credit Union is back to save the day! Well, for now, as we put a pause in this girl talk and talk some financial literacy!
Mel ain't waste no time to choose violence... Do you know a plant mom like Gabs or does your mom do something else that's just as bizarre as naming and talking to plants.
What's the difference between collecting and hoarding? Well if you can't throw out broken items that have no use, that's one sign of hoarding... and collecting useless items like toe nails is another... and also very gross...
Bucks got their first playoff dub last night and they're back at it Wednesday. Mel & DZ start something new called the "Weekend Round Up"
These things are clearly cultural but what is a good age for kids to start doing chores and making short trips to the store on their own? If they can have a phone at 10, why can't they walk to the corner store?
What if you matched with someone on a dating app and they just wanted to holler at your friend? Would you put them on or block them?
How would you feel if your significant other had a friend of the opposite sex that they didn't tell you about and kept them a secret?
It's kind of disrespectful if you have to hide it. What's so secret about it? Why can't we all just be friends then?!
TGIF! y'all should know the drill by now! It's Black Friday and we getting ready for these Bucks playoff games to start this weekend. Have a safe and fun Easter Milwaukee!
It's 414 day and y'all better make it a good one! There's plenty of deals going on in the city and plenty of things to do. Let's make this Milwaukee day a day to remember!
Ohhhh T-Bone... My guyyyyy. SPOON IN THE FREEZER AND CARMEX! Live ya life, just do it safety! Should T-Bone be in trouble for "getting marked as someone's territory"
Are some parents still forcing their kids out when they turn 18? Or are they welcome to stay as long as they want, do they have to pay rent or help with anything else?
Cam Newton is the latest celebrity/athlete to be in the hot seat... the bigger problem is, how many men still agree wit this logic?
This week we are talking to Director of Business Relationships, Brett Nielson from Educators Credit Union to talk to us about how we can save money easier!
After a brief pause in our convo we are back at it to share some of our final thoughts regarding Cam Netwon.
What is the age you got your first phone? What age do you think kids should get their first one? Are some of these responses too young??
Why don't kids just get the specialty phones made for them that let's them only call like three people? Why do they need a phone with data to download other apps?
We've come to our conclusions as far as to what age a child should get a phone. Do you think ours is reasonable after hearing some of Milwaukee's Group Chats' thoughts?
It's almost that time to hit Deer District again! Who would you guys like the Bucks play in the playoffs?!
10 years for the slap heard around the world... A 10 year ban is what Will Smith is receiving for his actions this year at the Oscars. Is it enough? Is it too much?
Could what happened with Will and Jada be the start of their end? Or did they end decades ago when they started allowing other people into their relationship?
DZ had an encounter yesterday that lead us to a wonderful conversation with Elise about what her and her son has had to endure while having a son with Tourette's Syndrome. If you encounter someone with TS, just be patient with them because if you are annoyed by their ticks, they are "annoyed even more".
What would you do if your kid came home and said they walked out of class because of the schools new cell phone policy?
Is it appropriate for men to have their headlights showing through shirts while at work? What about a woman? What's the difference?
Do you think age minimums are needed to keep everyone safe in the city? Some say we have more than enough reasons to have one, and Brownstone is the perfect example of why they should be enforced. Although a terrible tragedy came from the results of having a restriction, this is why!
The Ye and Kim saga continues as Ye posted numerous videos over the last couple of days to articulate once again how he is feeling about not being able to see his kids.
So is it a matter of girl dads vs boy dads and the way they raise them differently? Maybe we need to raise our men better from the jump.
Things are slowly going down, and places are slowly starting to ease up on mandates, is this palpebration really over?
How far will people go for clout? YouTube couple tries to spend the night in a local Target but it backfired badly.
Mel gives a special shoutout to her Dog for his birthday. This leads DZ to ask is it normal for humans really celebrate pets birthday even though they have NO IDEA whats happening.
Yes, you read it right, Mel and DZ want a room for 50 Shades of Play and get your mind out of the gutter they are not talking that kind of play.
Nick Cannons talk show is being cancelled after being on air for less than a year...Do you agree? Have you watched it? What if his show is just on at the wrong time?
Well we now know that the NFL cares more about their players betting than they care about their players beating their partners... but should they be able to make bets?!?
Aaron Rodgers is.......STAYING! AWE, I thought a hatin' DZ said something...Or is it Kyle who is hatin' this morning?!
Ukraine and Russia are the talk of the world the last two weeks or so and we've been seeing the consequences of it here but is it just the start?
Y'all are probably going to see each other after work anyways so to save money on gas and all that, wouldn't you just want to move in?
What was the pettiest reason you ended a relationship? Or what was the pettiest reason one was ended with you for?
Brittney Griner is in some trouble...and of all places to get in trouble she got in trouble in Russia... Now granted she was there to make money, she messed up big time...
Does this make you want to stop drinking completely or maybe not as much? Or are you still going to grab that bottle later?
We all know someone or know someone that knows someone who has been affected by alcoholism... And us Wisconsonites have probably normalized drinking a little more than the next state, but with serious health problems that can occur, we need to take a closer look at the new studies being done.
They found a mummified W H A T?! So you're saying 300 years ago someone was fishing and caught, THIS? There's no way this is real right...? Or is it...?
This is CRAZY! So are these just myths or things people have actually experienced and saw?
T.G.I.F. We were blessed to make it to another Friday and we've got some awesome Black businesses lined up today as we get ready for the weekend.
DZ was already not having it....and now he's being PUNKED??? Was he in the wrong for reacting the way he reacted? Why is he still bothered by it? Help him out Milwaukee, 833-212-1017.
It's Black Friday, trade deadline was yesterday, Super Bowl is this Sunday, it's been a lit week MKE, lets have a lit but safe weekend!
Who puts pressure on you and how do you handle it? What're some pressures we should eliminate?
Marlon said it best... He realized the pressure from one job actually lead him to another, so shout out to Marlon for going back on your grind.
Being under pressure could make you do crazy things or even not make you do something at all. But, we got a new texter that summed it up PERFECTLY for us and it's the perfect period to a great conversation. See y'all tomorrow!
Is Awkwafina just playing roles to a tee?? She doesn't use this voice in interviews. What about rappers like Jack Harlow?
You could talk to 10 different Black people and hear 10 different "black-cents" so what even is a Black-cent and why is it just the one when not every Black person talks like that?
What would you do if you were in this situation? What if the roles were reversed because you can't ask a women their age without being judged so the second you say something about x, y, z all hell breaks loose.
If someone is content with what others may be insecure about, why not let the person live especially if they are CHOOSING to live that way?
Carrie Noni Juice WRLD in the building! Mel is on assignment and DZ and Juice WRLD are trying to figure out, what to do so someone doesn't have to push you to your limit.
So if someone tries to test you not once...but TWICE! and makes a slick comment about it?! WYD!?!?
When someone gets into it with your s.o they may be trying to bait you...so if anything, get ya verbal assaulting in and just walk away...
Bow Wow has never had W H A T?! How do you guys eat your greens? Do you put the ham/turkey in it or do you just salt bae some salt on to it and call it a day?
When a place has a lower grade posted in the window does that mean they have fire food?!
Sometimes ghosting is just absolutely necessary in order to move on with your life is it not?
If your significant other were to drop a bomb like that on you are you staying or are you turning into Danny Phantom and "GOING GHOST!"
Turn up Tony Atkins hops in the studio and let's Mel & DZ know, has he ghosted anyone and would he do it again?!
If you loan something to a friend and they return it broken or in bad shape would you lend them something again?
If it was to the point where you needed to get a new version of said item would you let the person know about what you had to do because of their neglect?
When it comes to judging your friends and peers, do you judge them based off of their worst moments or their best?
Milwaukee! We thank you again for carrying this convo most of the show but it's time for FINISH THE BARRRRRR! If you want a chance to play and win finish the bar, make sure you tune in every Tuesday and wait for that cue to call!
Why are some old heads afraid of change? The root word is progress. Make it make sense.
We found out who is going to the Bowl! Who do you want to win and who do you think is going to win?
