David Talbert gets last laugh on First Sunday…or does he?
Every Friday I’m blessed to be on the Larry Young Morning Show (WOLB Baltimore 1010AM) for the last hour of the program with my good brother, Farajii Muhammad.
Larry (or “LY”) decided late last year to invite two “Under 30” community servants to be on the air and give commentary from a youthful perspective regarding the issues that he and Coach Butch McAdams’ raise. I think it was also enticing to them that Bro. Farajii is a Muslim minister and I am a Christian minister.
Well we had quite an interesting show on Friday, January 4th - the first show of the year. As always Farajii and I got to the studio without knowledge of what we would be discussing for the day. We were informed upon arrival that that day we would be having an in-studio interview with David Talbert to discuss his latest movie - First Sunday starring Ice Cube, Katt Williams, and Tracy Morgan. The film is about two friends who come up with the plan to rob a Black Church for its building fund money. 
When I heard this, my stomach immediately began to turn. I had seen the previews to this film and honestly did not like what I saw and did not plan on wasting my money to see the full picture. How was I going to conduct this interview in a way that wouldn’t offend Talbert or Larry Young - the man who opened the door for me to get on the show?
I wrestled with this question up until 9:30AM when during a commercial break, Talbert walked in and greeted everyone in the room.
The brother seemed cool enough, but I’m sure he had no idea that this wouldn’t be the easy-going promotional interview that he had planned.
