Hey, what's up? This is Ramses Job. And I go by the name, Q Ward. And we'd like you to join us each week for our show Civic Cipher. That's right. We discuss social issues, especially those that affect black and brown people, but in a way that informs and empowers all people. We discuss everything from prejudice to politics to police violence, and we try to give you the tools to create positive change in your home, workplace, and social circle.

We're going to learn how to become better allies to each other.

So join us each Saturday for Civic Cypher on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever

you get your podcast.

It's time to go around the room with Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.

Let's go around the room.

What's on the minds of people in the room?

We're missing, too, mind you.

Gandhi and Scary are out today.

God, I wonder who's next.

Don't say that.

They will be back, so we think.

Let's start with producer Sam.

What's on your mind today?

All right.

As the holiday season approaches,

I want to remind everyone that this is an advanced action to protect your peace.

If there's a family, and we all have them, a family member you love so much, but they drive you a little nuts or a topic that's just super touchy.

Just be ready, whether it be having an ally in the family that you give the eyes to or something you're ready to say in

retort. Just pre-plan because every year something happens and a family member of mine is shocked.

I'm like, really? You're surprised uncle so-and-so said what? Every year. So, you know, protect your

peace. Be a little offensive this year. Not Not, you know what I mean, play offense.
