Morning Coffee With Mario (Full Episode): Happy Mother’s Day & The Team Takes A Moment To Smile! (5-13-19)

We hope you had a happy Mother’s Day, and we send our belated well wishes to all the Mothers out there. Smooches! We also say goodbye to icon Doris Day, and marvel over the documentary “Knock Down The House” which features the story of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Come on down!

In the Newz, even as opioid death rise among blacks, one of the latest treatments is mostly prescribed to whites, a british radio host is fired after comparing royal baby Archie to a chimpanzee, Rudy Giuliani cancels a trip to Ukraine to get foreign intelligence dirt on Joe Biden, and the state of New York moves to release Trump’s tax returns and reduce his pardon powers.

Maybe the best weekend of the NBA Playoffs featured a number of game sevens showcasing money time players Steph Curry, Damien Lillard, and Kawhi Leonard. Which player is the best money time shot maker? What will be the Houston Rockets next move after they disappoint fans and followers in a game seven loss to the Golden States Warriors minus Kevin Durant? Kawhi Leonard sends teary-eyed Joel Embid and the 76ers home on his last second shot.

In HOtt PiXX,  Black Action heroes had limited crossover success dating back to the late 1960’s. Over the years specific Blaxploitation and mainstream films produced characters we’ve come to appreciate and remember, including some impressive current film releases.

The film character actors include Cress Williams (Black Lightning), Danny Glover (Lethal Weapon-Predator II), Michael Jai White (Spawn & Black Dynamite), Halle Berry (Catwoman), Richard Roundtree (Shaft), John Boyega (Star Wars & Pacific Rim), Woody Strode (Spartacus), Jim Kelly (Enter The Dragon), and Vin Diesel (Riddick).
