Alright, Charlie Rick Smiley morning.
So Gary is out today.
But Brent and our feeders are going to hold it down for the tea party.
We're going to start our shoot this morning.
What is Regina Hall talking about?
Okay Ricky.
Regina Hall is asking the question.
If you had to give up one of these,
which would it be sex, love, or money?
Which would it be?
Here's how it went down on the Jimmy Fallon show.
If you had to give up one, one thing.
Sex, love, or money, which one would it be?
All the men say money.
All the women say sex.
Because we want to have sex with us.
But we need the money for the upkeep.
And then the love for just love.
Love.
Yeah, yeah, you don't give up love.
You can't give up love.
You can't live without love.
Love helps you live.
Come on.
That's why we go through grief because the love
has nowhere to go.
That's, uh, Regina Hall said that herself.
So love, let's start there.
You love your kids.
So, you know, who you interrelationship with.
Who you married to.
And then the other, the other one is. Sex and money.
Sex and money.
You wanted a good lifestyle for your family.
Right, right. You want to be able to pay the bills.
Right. Right.
I mean, you got to give up the same thing.
You got to give up the same thing.
No, that's hard.
You're straight, but you don't care about their roasts.
On their wall, why you smashed them.
Oh, you know what I mean?
Because your ass broke and you got no money.
But you didn't smash them.
And you, and, and, ooh.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, I don't know.
We don't know what it is.
You stop, go over there and kill it.
You stand on the other wall of, yeah.
But then you got, then you got money.
But you can't, you can't do nothing.
You got all of my, you know, you're in a mansion.
you can't do nothing. Damn, damn, damn, damn, she got a mailbox on the way on with a lot. She got a, uh, uh, uh, underwear look like a safe.
Red flag on the mail box. You can't, you can't close burn because you got one on two. You got something that you can use the bathroom, but you can't touch her.
She can't touch you. Y'all just in the holding hands. Riches hell in love or whatever. And both, both of y'all got on a, uh, a small brings truck on the wall.
You can't, you can't close burn or nothing. She's another damn man. Breast talking about some pow pow.
It ain't a damn thing. All right. We can talk about that more Alfred is what is the latest, uh, with Saraya and Joey bad ass. Well, Ricky, you probably already know Saraya did hop on Instagram last week. We talked about it to expose her ex Beyonce.
Joey bad ass for what she called repeated in fidelity. But now TMZ just caught up with her and had some questions, you know, about the relationship. Saraya was leaving crags in West Hollywood, and they asked her how things were going between she and Joey.
And here's what she had to say. I know you opened up about what happened between you and Joey. I mean how are you?
How do you do that? Go back. We're doing great. Okay. I mean any update. I mean after you accused him of cheating. I mean did he ever cop to it?
We're good. Just helping for the rest and grace and love. That's all. Have you given him? Have you given the ring back? I mean, are you guys all speaking terms?
Yes, we're just speaking.
Okay. So Saraya's rap is like, hold up. When we say good, we owe me good like that. She says the only communication between the two is about co-parenting their son. Now as for the engagement ring, Saraya was not wearing it. She has already returned it.
Oh, okay. Yeah. Keep it moving. Keep it co-parenting. That's it. I mean it's sometimes it just don't work out, but it's good if you can communicate and co-parent. You know what I'm saying without it being without drama and mess or whatever.
Co-parenting, I am honest. I talked to my daughter's mom on yesterday for about an hour on face now with my daughter, my oldest daughter mom that lives in Houston. And we're best friends to this day.
Best friend. And I mean, co-parenting has been great to do some difficult time. But in order to have a friend, you have to be one. And they nothing like like a good co-parent.
And I like hanging out with my ex and her husband. Spending time with them and we co-parenting and co-grandparenting at the same time. And just one big happy family or whatever, because it ain't no drama. It ain't no issue.
So that's what it's all about. It's all about the kids when you get older or whatever. You know, you don't have to stay in that space.
I, Brett, Chris Brown, is he not going to court? What's going on? Well, Ricky, Chris Brown is basically telling the judge. I got places to be. He's asking the court to work around his very busy to a schedule with us.
Sure. And here's what's going on. Brown is dealing with the $12.9 million judgment involving his former housekeeper, Maria Avila, who sued after being attacked by his dog.
Now, there's a corporate seating where Brown is supposed to answer questions about his finances and how the judgment could be paid. But Chris says he just can't stop everything and show up.
Well, his attorneys filed the motion saying his tour schedule makes it extremely difficult for him to appear in court. And he's got another argument too. Brown says he lives in Nevada and his lawyers are questioning whether California can force him to appear in the Los Angeles courtroom under these circumstances.
Meanwhile, the other side ones answers about his assets and income as they try to collect the judgment.
So the judge has to decide. Just Chris Brown really have a sorry I'm on tour excuse or is it going to have to put down the microphone and show up in court?
No, you just have to do what you have to do sometimes. I recently, I had to go to court and I knew that I was not going to make any flight that was going to get me to Virginia.
And I just had to spend the money that I was making on the show to get to my show that night when I was in normal Virginia at the casino two weeks ago.
It's sometimes just got to do it. I spent all day in court and changed clothes on the plane. The money that I was going to make spent an on the plane man that they don't be playing about those court dates.
Well, what happens to virtual? Can they do virtual? No, they won't know. And then you know judges in court. They already don't like celebrity. They hate public figures. They think that you entitled. They think that you think that you're bigger than the system. They, that is true.
You walk in that courtroom. Everybody looking at you. But who do you think you are just for being there? That is true. And you're the plaintiff. That is true.
There is a nerve of you come in here asking for rights to your children. I already discussed you. Oh, absolutely. I'm talking about walking in there. But if from the bail of the share of looking at you, like what you doing it,
like man, I'm talking about this bad. It's embarrassing to go to court. Even if you write, even if you deploy it, it's embarrassing to walk in a damn courtroom because all the attention is focused on you.
And why are you here and you get treated like the defendant every time you go out and I hate it. And I just hate it. And I can say that for most celebrities, we hate to go to court because everybody's out for something and nothing but a shake down what you can get.
And what you got. And what you got. And what you got. And what you got. So yeah, that's that's that's crazy. So I don't know. I just got to get lifted in prayer like every day. Yeah. Yeah. But he probably can get those court days. They move, but you know, the judge in defense of the court, the judge is dockets be so heavy. It's hard to get a court date.
That's something that people don't understand. You just can't go to court. And then it is a difference between a hearing and a trial, hearing they could get you in and out of there to set you up for the trial. But you're going to trial, you're going to be there all day.
And judge them judge be having all those cases in here. And they try to get people to serve and them judge be want to go home because that's a lot on the courts. But thank you all for holding down the tea party.

Did you see that post? People are talking. Here's what's raining on the Mickey Smiley
morning. Shout out to the morning show grandparents are other family members are
often the first parents, you know, first people that parents call when they
need somebody to watch the kids and for a lot of families that's just what
family do, but should they be expected to babysit for free? Yeah, Ricky, because
child care is expensive and depending on where you live, parents can spend hundreds
of dollars just a week just to keep their kids in child care. So if grandma or auntie
or uncle's bring them on over, that could be a huge financial relief. Now,
according to stats, the average cost of child care in the US ranges from about 13,000 to
15,000 per year and that's about 250 to 340 per week for a single child,
depending on the child's age and type of care you need. So this morning we want to
know is free babysitting just a part of being a family or should family members
get paid when watching the kids? Brad, you know, you got a baby. What are your
thoughts on that? I think God, I have a beautiful mother and a great
gam-gam to my baby, but I just try to take care of my mother as much as I can
and give her any and everything she needs because it is a huge blessing to have
her. So I feel like whoever does help you, if you're not paying them something,
you should definitely take good care of them as well as their needs because it's
a blessing and people don't have that. So if you have that chair, I shouldn't
appreciate it. Yeah, Alfred, what are your thoughts? I feel the same way as Brad,
when my mom comes over, we're getting our nails done, we're getting, you know,
we're doing the things, but my son, he's 12, he thinks my mom is his. So it's
she doesn't even know. I love that. He adores her. Yeah. Yeah, man, when they,
oh my God, I definitely understand that. Brad, you know how we are, we're about
our grandparents. Oh, whatever. And today is not like you don't love your mom,
but there's just something about that grown mama man. Oh, Jesus. Go straight to
your soul. Like she, like she from heaven. Like you love your mother, but your
grandmother, man, it's like an angel. Oh, yeah. The way her skin feels, the way she's
smelled, the way she just is, you know, that, that, that damn, um, with that damn song,
uh, that lady made about her grandmother made it wipes me out every time I, that,
but I had a praying grandmother. Not that one, okay. Ziver and gold. Oh, yeah.
Be combed in place. Oh, there were four generations of love on her
basement. I can't think of that jazz since she's a jazz artist. I know. Y'all are
so blessed because I never met her. I never met her. You never met your grandma.
They're all past. Yeah. Yeah. When you grow mama, put your late, late, late, uh,
your head on her chest and walk you. Yeah. It's a special relationship. She laid her head
on you. Oh, my God. And then, uh, I had great grandmother's. My great grandmother's
was my grandmother's. And then my mom, my, my, you know what I'm saying? So that,
that my grandparents were like my mother and father. My mom and dad was like my brother.
And so for me, my mom and my dad, we all got a weapon to go. Oh, okay.
That's what you all say, man. Special care, what are your thoughts on that? You got kids?
Oh, yeah. Grandkids too. Um, so yeah, um, with my wife kept, um, my, my granddaughter
before she started school, you know, and my daughter and her, and her father, they paid
her. And because she had to keep, keep her all day long. But now if it's like a drop-off
situation, the egg, you keep her as long as you give us some notice. So hey, can you
keep her? I didn't know. I ain't no charge. I wouldn't charge for that. Right. No charge.
No charge. No charge. No charge. Cause you love having them around. Now, one, now,
one thing you get about 10 and 11, that's going to be a different story. I want to get
that annoying age. Right, right. Man, that, um, uh, this, I, I need to see what you're
off with your thoughts. So I get out as a six, six, nine, Rick, eight, six, six, nine,
all I see get you. Well, let's go to the phones. Good morning. Uh, good morning. This
is Teresa in Nashville. I don't think so. Uh, I think you do. Do you still, if you want
to do as a grandparent, you're not required to do anything. Um, but I absolutely love
spending time with my grandkids. I think that's valuable to spend time with a precious
life like that, you know. Hey, listen, my name is Glenn. I'm from Dallas. I have 11 grandkids.
And there's no way that I would tell my sons and my daughters to say, Hey, you want me
to babysit? Uh, uh, no, you got to pay me. No, I love spending time. Love spending time
with my grandkids. And you don't get to spend that much time with them as you want. So
you've got to get them when you can and they don't have to, you know, if I have time to
do it, absolutely. They can come hang out with Paul Paul in the chair. My name is Jamie
and I'm from Akron, Ohio. And I feel like it depends. If you have a parent who is going
above and beyond to accommodate the grandparent and not put them out, I don't think that that's
necessary. But if you have a grandparent who may be struggling financially or you just
know is doing more than what maybe they're even capable of, like physically even financially,
what does it hurt to help them out? It's in a way it's free childcare and, you know, it
would be nice to reciprocate all those years that your parents put into you. No, it's
not high to financial, but what does it hurt to maybe buy them dinner every so often
if they won't accept money or in your case, send them a check. Yeah, I'm almost started
charging off at Denver, asking so many damn questions. I got three. And I'd be like, Hey,
yeah, they're fine. I'm not going to ask, answer all them questions because all the answers
got more questions. Like she's like, like, I feel like I'm on the stand when she comes.
So as we're going up to a Y, Y, you're going to get an understanding though. She want
to understand it on the, on the understanding. Right. She needs to understand it on the
understanding. Maybe too much. I'm trying to cook even to make me burn up some spaghetti
meat. Don't do that. I appreciate your phone call. Hey, listen, if y'all miss any part
