Fairweather is going to be joining us today. She's the
chief economist for Redfin. Redfinn is a great resource when
you're looking to check home prices, see what's going on
in the market, and talk about home values. There's so
much going on in the real estate market, so many
different conflicting things that people tell you you should buy,

(00:46):
you shouldn't buy.

Here, yes, ma'am, Yes, Jasmine Brand.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
And I just want to shine a light on some
book clubs and book bookstores because I feel like it's
kind of We were at this place called the lip Bar,
love the name yesterday, and it's like a lounge where
they have books, they have drinks and things like that,
and I just love spaces where you can actually go

(02:37):
to read. When I was growing up, the reason why
I work with the New York Public Library is because
I spend so much time in the library and I
always felt like going to the bookstore was like a
great date to have.

Speaker 6 (02:48):
It is, yeah, especially that kind of bookstore. It's in
the Bronx, right, Yeah, that one was in the Bronx.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
So I just want to shout out to all of
the bookstore owners out there that are still understanding the
importance of First of all, I love Audible. I love
being able to be in the car and listen to
a book. But I also think that actual books in
your hand is like artwork.

Speaker 6 (03:07):
Yeah it is. And we need to support our local bookstores. Yes,
I know that we like to go to a certain
site nine too at the bookstore.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yeah, you definitely got me some as well. There's one
that I had went to in Chicago. It's called Semi Colin,
Okay bookstore. And so that was another amazing space. And
they have a little you know, lounge in there and
a bar area and all.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
Of that too.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
And they also have a kid's part of the bookstore,
so that, yes, and I think that's really nice, like
a great experience to bring your kids to the bookstore
where they have times where people can like sit there and.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
They have somebody read to the kids.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
They have that at the New York Public Library also,
and I know a lot of libraries have that, but
let's make sure we start taking advantage of those things,
and like you said, supporting local bookstores and supporting authors
black and brown authors too.

Speaker 5 (03:53):
Mark Lamont Hill has a bookstore as well.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Oh yeah he does.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
And you know who used to have a bookstore too,
to live quality.

Speaker 5 (03:58):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
I wonder if he still has his, So we got
to ask him about that anyway, shout out to that.
That's something that I feel like a lot of times
may not be as lucrative, yep as people might think,
but it is out of the love of storytelling yep.

but still want to shine a light. And when we
come back, let's talk Battle of the Memoirs. Britney Spears
comes out next week. Jada Pickett Smith is out today.
We'll tell you what's going on with both of the books.
It's way up at Angela Yee. She's like the Talt

(06:03):
like they Angela Jean like they Angela jee.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
Man, she's spilling it all. This is yee te way.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
All right.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
It is way up with Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee.
Jasmine brand is here.

Speaker 5 (06:16):
Not just any brand on my own brand.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
And we want to thank Jada Pikett Smith for giving
us topics and content for every single day.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
It's just not stopping.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
That's how you should have shined a light on dozens
of means have been happening now. One thing that's being
talked about in her book is how she wrote about
getting a beautiful sex room for herself and Will Smith.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
She said, to give us our own space.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
I even built a separate, beautiful love nest for us
two grown ups in our bedroom, complete with a dome
ceiling full of twinkling stars. But over time the kids
hijacked that room as well. And she talks about a
lot of different things in this book, including, of course,
you know, her close friendship with Tupac Shakur.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
We're hearing all different types of stories about him.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
Y'all.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Don't be believing nothing that she says either. I don't
know why, Like people had a problem with her revealing
that he had alopecia, but I feel like he's That
story's been told before.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
But yeah, when it comes to her, you guys just
don't believe her.

Speaker 6 (07:10):
And it's weird because she's getting a lot of backlash.
But we were talking the other day, people used to
really love not that they don't love Jada anymore, but
people used to be like.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
And Will Smith has written his own book and told
his own stories as well. I forget now Will Smith,
in the meantime, has trolled people with his official statement.
There were reports that his kids feel bad for him,
and all kinds of different stories coming out after these
revelations about their marriage. So he put up a video
and he captioned it official statement. And here's how it sounds.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
I got something for you. Here's the thing. So my
opinion of the world.

Speaker 5 (07:49):
Goofy.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yes, I guess he's just making a joke about the
whole thing. And you know from other reports, hees encouraged
her to write this. Now another book that's coming out,
and this is going to be out on Tuesday. Jada's
book is already out Worthy is The Woman in Me.
That's Britney Spears's book. And in this book, there's an
excerpt now that's available. She shared that exclusively with people.

(08:11):
She talks about her and her mom, who would drink
dakeries together as early as eighth grade.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
Wow, she said, for fun.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
And starting when I was in eighth grade, my mom
and I would make the two hour drive from kent
Wood to Biloxi, Mississippi, and while we were there, we
would drink dakeries. We called our cocktails totties, And she said,
I love that I was able to drink my mom
every now and then. The way we drank was nothing
like how my father did it. When he drank it
grew more depressed and shut down. We became happier, more alive,
and adventurous.

Speaker 5 (08:39):
Okay, little daker a little something something, I mean eighth grade.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
I feel like my mom and I had some Margarita's
at a young age for myself.

Speaker 6 (08:47):
Okay, not me and my mom, but teach's own. Maybe
me and my daughter will have dakeries all right.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Brittany also talked about getting an abortion during her relationship
with Justin Timberlake.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
She said he said we weren't ready.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
She got pregnant, and she said it was a surprise,
but for me, it wasn't a tragedy. I loved Justin
so much. I always expected us to have a family
together one day. This would just be much earlier than
I'd anticipated. But Justin definitely wasn't happy about the pregnancy.
He said we weren't ready to have a baby in
our lives, that we were way too young, and then

(09:20):
she said ultimately they had an abortion. She said, if
it had been left up to me alone, I would
have never done it, and yet Justin was so sure
that he didn't want to be a father.

Speaker 5 (09:28):
I wonder what he thinks of this whole book.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
I'm sure right now he's like, don't.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
And Christina Aguilera in the meantime, was on Jimmy Kim
Alive and here's what she had to say about this memoir.

Speaker 4 (09:41):
You know, Britney spears as a memoir coming out? Do
you think you will be in it? As she called
you and said, hey, heads.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
Up, dude, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
There's a chatter about you. Are you hoping that you're
in it? I don't know.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
Am I hoping?

Speaker 6 (09:56):
I mean I'm hoping that you know, everything is all
good with her and beautiful.

Speaker 5 (10:00):
Also, you know, I think the future should be celebrated.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
And sure, yes, that's a great pr answer.

Speaker 5 (10:06):
It is. Angela.

Speaker 6 (10:06):
Remind me, did they have beef back in the day
or is it that I don't remember at all? They
had some issues over Justin or just over just being
the competitive.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yeah, I think it was more of a competitor. I
don't think I had anything to do with Justin. Okay,
all right, Well, when we come back, we have about
last night, and speaking of books, we were at the
lit bar and the wrongs. Like I said, for our girl,
Ida Rodriguez, we'll talk about her book, and I also
want to discuss another book that is available to that
Questlove actually published It's Way Up with Angela.

Speaker 4 (10:33):
Ye Yeah last night. So about last night last night, last.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Night as I went down, it's way up at Angela Ye,
Angela yee. And Jasmine brand is here, yes, yes, indeed,
and about last night.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
So last night was a great night. A very good
friend of mine.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Ida Rodriguez has her book that's out right now, Legitimate Kid,
a memoir.

Speaker 6 (10:56):
And she's a comedian and a producer and actress.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yeah, she's been in some programs, all right, but she's
an amazing comedian.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
She has fighting words. It's out right now.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
But people know her from they ready Tiffany Hattish's produced
special where she highlighted different women comedians and she also
also has produced special stand Up Specialist for some LATINX comedians. Okay, cool,
But she has her memoir out Legitimate Kid. Now, why
is it called that? Well, it starts off telling you
about the title legitimate Kid. And that's because when she

(11:33):
was young, bully at her school was making fun of her.
Her name was Beth and basically was making fun of
her for not having her father there. She was raised
by a single mom and her father never signed her
birth certificate, so her whole time growing up, she felt
like something was missing. Yeah, you know, and being a
quote bastard child, a legitimate kid. And this is a

(11:57):
story about her, you know, just coming up and realizing
her own power and strength.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
And she actually did eventually meet her dad.

Speaker 5 (12:04):
Yeah you were you there.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
No, her dad is from the Dominican Republic. Her mom
is from Puerto Rico.

Speaker 5 (12:10):
Okay, well you went on a trip with her, right.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
Yeah, Okay, yes we did.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
We actually, Oh no, maybe it's the other way, it's
the other way around.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
Maybe.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
But I went to Puerto Rico to see her do
stand up and it was really funny about it was
all the comedians before her were speaking Spanish. I didn't
know what was going on until she got on the stage.

Speaker 5 (12:28):
That's so funny.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
No, but shout out to my girl Ida.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
She actually did her book launch at a bookstore in
the Bronx called the lip Bar, which was really amazing.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
Estelle was there. Yeah, she was there, and my girl
to Shana. A lot of people were there.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
It was definitely a packed audience, people coming out to
see her. And it's hard because her book is coming
out the same day as Jada Pinkett Smith's book, which
was yesterday. So she has a joke right now if
you look at her live Funny Ida, She's like, look
by my book. I don't want to have to go
around telling people I have a baby with Biggie. She's
to try to sell this book, but yeah, so I

(12:59):
know it's just now easy for people in that space to,
you know, make sure that people know about your book,
to have a place to be able to promote it.
But it's very well written. Obviously I read the book,
Yes you did very fast, and her daughter was there
and Ida normally does not put her personal life on blast.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
That's something that she doesn't do.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
But now her kids are grown up, so she even
in this book discusses her relationship with her child's father
and all the relationships that she's had. And I think
a lot of the way we relate to men as
women sometimes comes from our childhood and our own fathers.
Like if you think about your relationship with your dad,
a lot of times that can dictate a lot of
what goes on in your relationships with men.

Speaker 5 (13:43):
Sometimes I say you pick your dad and your men.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
Yeah, and listen.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
Depending on who you are, you might do the opposite.
You might think, are you like I don't want nobody
like that guy? And so just shout out to Ida
for having a book out. And I also want to
talk about somebody else who's book is out. And that
is a sly Stone from Slying the Family Stone. And
so you, Jasmine, were looking at the title of the book. Yes,

(14:09):
thank you for letting me be myself again.

Speaker 5 (14:11):
Yeap, I bought I bought us two copies.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
So if you don't know who sly Stone is, this
song right here everyday people, I think they use it
in a billion commercials. Here's what that sounds like. You've
all heard that song in a commercial. But definitely a
lot of other musicians have studied Sliding the Family Stone.
Tony Tony, Tony talked about it here. When I used

(14:34):
to work for DiAngelo, they he would talk all the
time about how he would just watch videos of Slying
the Family Stone to figure out how to perform himself.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
So just letting you guys know about that.

Speaker 6 (14:45):
And it's a connection request love right. He actually produced
it and he did the forward nice. All right, Well,
when we come back, we have tell us a Secret.
Eight hundred two nine two fifty one fifty is a number. Now,
this is the part of the show where y'all get
to rule the airwaves and probably go oh viral with
your secrets.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
Eight hundred two nine two fifty one fifty.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
There's definitely no judgment today, but we want to hear
some good secrets.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
Okay. Eight hundred two ninety two fifty one fifty.

Speaker 4 (15:10):

All right, it's way up with Angela ye I'm Angela yee,
and Jasmine Brand is here with me. I'm here Angela,
and listen, I just went live so you guys can
understand behind the scenes how tell Us a Secret works.
I see people in the comments like this is stage.
This can't be real. And you guys, we cannot script this.
I promise you one thousand percent. When people call here
for tell us a Secret, we do not plant at all.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
All right.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
Eight hundred two nine two fifty one fifty is a number.
It's a no judgment zone, and you are anonymous. Hello,
anonymous Cala, how are you hello?

Speaker 7 (15:48):
Good morning, Good morning.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Up Money, It's me and Jasmine. You want to tell
us a secret and you will be anonymous?

Speaker 7 (15:54):
Yes, I do have a secret.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (15:56):
So I got this d I a couple months ago
and I was admitted sober living and the whole last
week I was there, I was just getting all my
roommates trunk.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Wait, so you go to duy, so you got to
admit it to sober what's sober living?

Speaker 7 (16:09):
It's a yeah, it's like a rehab okay.

Speaker 5 (16:11):
Alread for trapping.

Speaker 3 (16:12):
And so you got liquor in there and got everybody drunk.

Speaker 7 (16:15):
Yeah, on my last week, and it's so bad until
I left.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
Oh my gosh. So it's no judgment though, Yeah, it's
no judgment. When do you get your license back? Are
you really thinking that maybe you might have had an
issue with drinking?

Speaker 3 (16:27):
Are you gonna do anything differently? Or are we just
back at it?

Speaker 7 (16:30):
I got my license back. They put a breathalyzer in
my truck.

Speaker 5 (16:33):
Oh, I see those.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
That's what you gotta go in and then it beats
and you gotta blow into it like every few minutes.

Speaker 7 (16:39):
Yeah, it's so embarrassing. Every time you drive. While you're driving,
you're looking at people stare at you.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
You know what's so funny is that people who have that,
when you're on the phone with them, you can hear
the beeping in the background. And if you have to
park at Valet, they gotta blow in it to the
cargo right the cargo stop.

Speaker 3 (16:56):
So you can't even really park at Ballet.

Speaker 7 (16:58):
You can't do anything. You don't want to do any
you don't want to drug.

Speaker 6 (17:01):
But we're missing the point. He actually was in there
and got and got drunk. But now not only got drunk,
everybody else drunk too. You're a bad influence.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
No judgment? Oh sorry, all right, well, thank you for
calling and sharing with us.

burn the bridges.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
Yes, so his last album was Felaren Too that was
released in twenty twenty one in the fall.

Speaker 5 (23:05):
Hmm, okay, so it's been a minute.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
It has been a minute. So he didn't give us
too much information. Wilet is a great artist, though, he is,
and he will tell you himself. I know that's right
that people do not give him the credit that he
deserves for the music that he makes and his creativity.
I remember him even discussing going on tour, going on
the road and spending all his own money that he
would have made from the tour on making sure that

(23:27):
the show was amazing. Yeah, and not even making money
from the tour.

Speaker 5 (23:31):
And you know he's from DC. He's a deast from
DC area, so he surely is.

Speaker 7 (23:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (23:35):
He reps that hard too, all right.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
And welcome back. Also to Lloyd Banks.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
He is going to be returning to his fan favorite
Halloween Havoc series. On Monday, he posted a trailer to
announce that that series has been revived and a fourth
installment is on the way. So he didn't give an
exact release date, but it would have to be sometime
soon because Halloween is coming out. Yep, all right, So

(24:01):
a lot of things happening in the realm of music.
I'm Yogotti, Glorilla money Bag Yo and CMG family have
also unveiled the Gangster Art Arena tour dates and so
November twenty second, fort Worth, Texas, NOVEMA twenty six in Atlanta,
December one and DC and December third and Charlotte, North Carolina,
so you can get ready for all of that and

(24:23):
twenty one. Savage has added further international tour dates. He
did resolveice immigration issue, so now he'll be in Paris, Zurich, Berlin, Amsterdam,
and Manchester, Birmingham, a whole bunch of different places.

Speaker 5 (24:35):
And of course London has sold out. Yeah, it's over
for you.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
If you can get your tickets, you're gonna have to
go on the secondary market to get those, all right.
And Showtime Sports is shutting down at the end of
the year.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
I like you mentioned that a lot of the.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
Boxing matches and MMA fights were on there too, so
they're going to continue with events already on the schedule,
but they're no longer going to produce sports, which means
the end of those things. They did produce seven hundred
and fifty live boxing events and two thousand bouts, and so,
I mean.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
I can't believe it's over.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
I feel like Showtime has developed into a network that
a lot of people went to to watch boxing matches.

Speaker 3 (25:15):
Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
Yeah, remember it competed with HBO. I feel like it
kind of you know, yeah.

Speaker 5 (25:20):
I'm sure they guystook them something else in the works.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
I'm sure right, Well, they did have a partnership with
the Premiere Boxing Champions and so not sure what they're
going to do now, but yeah, no more Showtime Boxing
after the end of the year. All right, Well that
is your yet, And when we come back, we have
under the Radar. These are the stories that are not
necessarily in the headlines. They are flying under the radar,

(25:45):
and we have a lot of those. This is actually
Truth be Told one of my favorite segments because we
get to introduce you to different stories that could be
helpful that you may not know about. You know, it
is a wealth Wednesday and Freddie Mack is rolling out
a down payment assistance tool for anybody who's looking to
buy a house. So we'll tell you all about that.
It's way up at Angela yee. Under the radars.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
Next news news this in the news that relates to you.

Speaker 4 (26:10):
These stories are flying under the radar, all.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
Right, it's way up at Angela Yee, I'm Angela Ye.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Jasmine brand is here, Yes, and Urban Outfitters in an
under the Radar story has teamed up with five HBCU
students on a capsule collection. The students are from Hampton Moorhouse,
Tennessee State University, North Carolina, Central University, North Carolina, A
and T nice all right. But Cher Burns, Faith Rees,
Mike Tambashi, Maya Harris, and Charde Hohol are the students

(26:38):
and they were able to showcase their creative skills and
their eye for designer was an internship and as part
of that internship, they worked very closely with Urban Outfitters
buying and design teams, blending their creativity with industry expertise
to create a collection that captures the essence of each
participating institution.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
So that is available online. Actually right now, I love that.
That's so dope.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Yes, So that is a really nice All proceeds from
the collection will support a donation of fifty five thousand
dollars to participating.

Speaker 6 (27:10):
Schools okay, shout out to my Morgan State University, all right.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
And thousands of casino workers have gone on strike in Detroit.
They are seeking higher wages and better working conditions. The
cost of living has surged since their last labor contract
that was back in twenty twenty and so now these
casino workers are also on strike.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
They are at the.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
MGM, Grand at Motor City, at Hollywood Casino, at Greek Town.
So those are the casinos that are involved. We always
say at the MGM, we do, yeah, we do.

Speaker 6 (27:41):
Shout out to our girl Gosh I forget her name, yes,
you know, listen, I just want to say I love
you guys, y'all take such great care of me Church.
Yeah right, that's her name, right, yeah, I think so, okay,
just messed us all the way up.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
Sorry, all right.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
And Freddie Mac has rolled out a down payment assistance
tool and that is going to match borrowers with down
payment assistance programs across the country.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
It's called DPA one.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
It streamlines the available state programs into a single source
lenders can use to find and compare programs for their borrowers. Now,
Freddie Max said, time and time again, research reveals that
the down payment is the single largest hurdle first time
home buyers need to overcome to attain home ownership. But
finding and comparing the many programs and their guidelines is challenging.

(28:31):
So now that down payment assistance is offered through state
finance agencies as well as local and municipal sources, and
that's going to help you a one stop shop now
at no cost. So that will bring lenders and their
borrowers greater detail and visibility into these programs.

Speaker 3 (28:46):
That is so true. It's hardly that down payment together.

Speaker 6 (28:48):
Yeah, and then and then there's other things you have
to do to the house when you get it.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Sometimes, and not only do you need a down payment
by the time you close, you have to have a
certain amount of money in the bank.

Speaker 5 (28:57):
Yes, they want to be they want to see aertain
number in net count.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
And that was the hardest part for me in buying houses,
coming up with the down payment and.

Speaker 5 (29:03):
Then having something to show on my account after I
have to give you all.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
And some people would like to put down a larger
down payment so you don't have to pay mortgage insurance.
So there's a lot of different reasons and we'll talk
about a lot more of that too, because it is
a wealth Wednesday. Also, the FDA is proposing a ban
on hair relaxes with formaldehyde.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
I can't believe this hasn't happened already.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
So that's an ingredient in hair relaxers, and that's gonna
raise awareness about the potential harms these products create for
many black women who typically use them.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
That would ban the.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
Chemical and hair smoothing or hair straightening products also called relaxers.
They currently discourage consumers from using these products that contain
formaldehyde and similar ingredients, but they need to ban that.

Speaker 5 (29:46):
Okay, have you ever had a relaxer?

Speaker 2 (29:49):
I think when I was way, way, way younger child.
I had it as a child, and since then my
hair has never been I feel like it does definitely.

Speaker 3 (29:58):
I had to actually grow my out.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
I did another process that was called thermal reconditioning, and
it straight in my hair.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
It looked great.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
My hair was shiny, straight all the time, but it
would not curl. And then by the time the roots
started growing back in, it was a mess because it
was like curly in the roots and thick at the roots,
but then it was straight on the rest of it,
and I looked a mess for years, so it wasn't
easy to do. All right, Well, that is you're under
the raidar and we got the way up mixed at
the top of the hour. Plus chief economists at redfin

(30:28):
redfind is a great resource for anybody looking to buy
a home. Also compare prices, also see what's going on
in the environment and how that does affect payments for
your house, and just a wealth of information when it
comes to real estate. And she is the chief economist
there a black woman. We love to see it. Darryl Fairweather.
We'll be joining us on a wealth Wednesday. But again,
the way up mixed at the top of the hour,
So a party with us. It's way up with Angela yee.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
Hey, yeah, she back at it.

Speaker 4 (30:56):
The Way Up with Angela is on what's up?

Speaker 5 (31:03):
Yes, I'm here Angela.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
And listen, we are getting ready for yeet Okay, I'm
going to talk about Cardi b.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
I feel bad.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
It feels like she's under a lot of pressure right now,
and I don't take it lightly when people go on
social media and say things like I just want to
put a bullet in my head and we'll talk about
it more. But it's not being lazy. Sometimes the pressure
of being creative right and putting out music that people love,
but also knowing you're going to get a ton of criticism,
of people hating on it, of knowing that the more

(31:31):
successful you are, the more people want to see you fail,
of knowing just so many different things that can go on.
It can be just really depressing and it can make
you feel like I don't even want to do this anymore.

Speaker 5 (31:44):
When you think about it. I'm a regular person.

Speaker 6 (31:45):
I get stressed in the press, so I can't imagine
having all that attention on you and that pressure form
and deliver.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
That's why even listen, trust me, I know I get
a lot of criticism and it's not easy, and sometimes
social media is the worst place to go expecting any
type of sympathy. But we're going to talk about all
of that when we come back with Yeat Cardi b
her social media, the trial that she has, the assault
trial that's being postponed, and also we'll talk about roy
Wood Junior. I really want to see him as a

(32:14):
new host of The Jaily Show. But will tell you
what he said. It's way yep. But Angela yee yea
t is next.

Speaker 4 (32:18):
From industry shade.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
To all of gossip out, Angela's speeling that EyeT?

Speaker 2 (32:24):
What's up this way yep with Angela yee. I'm Angela
yee and Jasmine Brand is here.

Speaker 5 (32:28):
Happy Wednesday, Angela and.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
Let's get into some of this yeat. Now, Cardi b
her assault trial has been postponed. This has been going
on since twenty twenty over an alleged attack that happened
in twenty eighteen, but it looks like they may be
pushing the trial until next year. They're hoping that issues
can be worked out in mediation. Okay, all right, this
is all this a security guard who filed a suit

(32:52):
against her for assault, battery, and infliction of emotional distress.
She says she was attacked in February of twenty eighteen
while she was leaving her Octatricians office for a scheduled appointment. Allegedly,
she says that Carti scratched her with her fingernail, yelled
racial slurs, and spit on her after the security guard
started recording her. So oh she was pregnant at the

(33:14):
time too, Yeah, she was pregnant at the time, Okay, gotcha,
all right, So maybe they're going to work that out.
But in the meantime, Carti also was on social media
and she was responding to a critic who called her lazy.
You know, people are anxious for this music to come out.
And somebody said, Carti the only Mexican I know that
don't work hard. Oh now, Cardi responded, hope you and

(33:37):
your mom die.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
Oh okay, and.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
Then another person to keep wishing death on people and
watch how would come back on you, And she said,
I don't give a ff y'all. Y'all can call me Mexican,
bring me down her my feelings, talk ish about everything.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
This is why I don't release music. I just want
to put a bullet in my head.

Speaker 5 (33:52):
That's a little extreme, Carti.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
Yeah, and listen, she has a beautiful children, a beautiful family.

Speaker 3 (33:58):
She has people that love.

Speaker 2 (33:59):
Her and sometimes letting people who are just trying to
get you to react and say negative things to you
online because they love that.

Speaker 3 (34:07):
They love to see you reacting. They want that.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
Yeah, you know, so Cartie, you know, take a moment,
hug your kids, your man. I don't like that all
right now, Easter Ray, congratulations to her, She's launched her
own prosecco v Ray.

Speaker 3 (34:21):
What's called v Ray b I a r ae kind
of like Ray.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
It's a bright, crisp and lively Italian sparkling wine is
going to release this month and select markets. Her statement says,
I am thrilled to share my love of prosecco with
everyone through Va Ray. It's carefully crafted, deliciously crisp, and
the perfect beverage to celebrate La duce vita nice.

Speaker 6 (34:42):
I love when black and brown people get in this
wine and spirits game.

Speaker 2 (34:46):
Yeah, shout out to my girl ingrid Ives Wines, which
is now finally shipping out.

Speaker 3 (34:50):
I'm excited.

Speaker 5 (34:51):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
All right.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
At Brooklyn Federal Court, judge has ruled that Dave Bryant,
who was one of the three men charged with the
murder of Jmaster Jay, will stand trial separately from the
other who were accused, Ronald Tynard Washington and Carl Jordan Jr.
That decision was issued on Friday, and that is because
of the likelihood of conflicting accounts among the accused.

Speaker 3 (35:11):
All Right, So, according to.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
Reports, one of them, Jay Bryant, had requested the trial Severn,
stating that each suspect intends to deflect guilt onto the others,
thereby complicating jerry deliberations.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
This is still going on.

Speaker 5 (35:24):
I was just looking this.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
This murder was two thousand, over twenty years ago. Okay,
we're still talking about that. Yeah, absolutely all right, and
Rywood Jr.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
I definitely thought he was going to replace Trevoroah on
the Daily Show as the host. I think he would
be the best choice and the best decision, and I
know he wants to do it.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
Well.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
He was on Sherry Shepherd and you know before he
had said that he's not going to be doing the
Daily Show anymore more. He talked about his departure. He
chose to leave during the strike. Here's what he had
to say to Sherry Shepherd.

Speaker 3 (35:56):
We wanted you to have this job.

Speaker 14 (35:58):
It is still good happened. Shocked at the decision myself,
because number one, we was in the strike for farmer
who you know, come off strike then quit the job.
That wasn't the plan. But you know, as you start
looking at the lay of the land of late night
and television as a whole, that's gonna be a long
process figuring out who's gonna be in that chair and
I respect that process. But while you've got your process,
I need to have my process. So I'm gonna be

(36:20):
over here making sure that I'm all my ducks are
in a row as well, in case that doesn't end
up the way that I hope.

Speaker 3 (36:26):
All right, Well, I feel him.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
Yeah, he's not gonna sit back and wait for them
to decide what they want to do, and he should
not do. He's got to get on with his life
and more options, more options, and who knows, maybe it'll happen,
maybe they'll do the right thing.

Speaker 3 (36:37):
But in the meantime, we're in your corner. Roy Woo Junior.
It's so smart and funny, all right now.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
Sukihana broke down in tears on love and hip hop
and this went viral. She hates that people keep on
bringing up her past life and says we all did
some ish.

Speaker 3 (36:50):
Here's what she said.

Speaker 4 (36:52):
I don't want to be a victim to the world
a person.

Speaker 3 (37:00):
Where you are.

Speaker 4 (37:03):
It just hurts me so much. I'm not just a celebrity.

Speaker 5 (37:07):
I have a girl life and I make mistakes like everybody.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
I feel her, but I mean it's kind of hard
because then she does things and the music too.

Speaker 5 (37:17):
Yeah, it's just I get it.

Speaker 2 (37:18):
I think kind of just own it, like this is
the space, and you can own your growth too, and
you can also talk about the difficulties, and you can
also talk about growing out of a certain space that
you were in in the past. And you know, so
she'll say things like this, and then we'll see you
on a carpet like on all fours or something, you
know what I mean. So it's kind of like okay, right,
which I'm.

Speaker 3 (37:38):
Cool with both, yes, and you know what it is.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
Part of life is the conflicting ways. Yeah, a lot
of times we are our own walking contradiction.

Speaker 5 (37:49):
I know I am for sure, for sure.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
Like I don't want to be out all right, Well
that is your utm. When we come back, it is
a wealth Wednesday, and chief economist for redfin dar Al
Fairweather is joining us. I'm so excited for us to
discuss things with her because she is an expert in
all things real estate and the economy and whether or
not we are going through a recession and whether or
not it's a good time to buy.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
It's way up with Angela.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
Ye, kind a dream of wealthy and I don't mind
sharing my wealth.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
Dogs getting you straight financially, mentally, and physically. This is
Wealth Wednesday on Way Up with Angela.

Speaker 3 (38:21):
Ye, what's up?

Speaker 2 (38:22):
It's way up with Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee. And
Jasmine brand is here with me. Yes, And honestly, one
of my favorite people to talk to, Daryl Fairweather is here.
Chief economists at Redfinn Thank you for joining us again.

Speaker 15 (38:34):
I'm so happy to be here.

Speaker 3 (38:36):
Yes, what I love. Whenever you come.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
You defy what people would think any economists, a chief
economist would look like.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
I want to start up with just this question.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
Is this a good time for our first time homeowner
to buy?

Speaker 3 (38:50):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (38:50):
Or no?

Speaker 3 (38:51):
And we want to hear why.

Speaker 15 (38:52):
I'm going to be honest, there are many things that
are challenging about the housing market right now. The first
thing is how high mortgage rates are. Mortgage rates are
basically how much it costs to borrow money to buy
a home. And for a thirty year fixed rate, it's
at seven and a half percent right now. During the
pandemic it was it around three percent, so more than doubled. Yes,
So how much.

Speaker 3 (39:12):
Does that add?

Speaker 2 (39:13):
Like, say your mortgage is one hundred thousand dollars, how
much is the difference, Like say, if it was a
three percent rate as opposed to a seven point five percent, it's.

Speaker 15 (39:23):
Going to be more than double the amount of money
that you're going to have to pay over the life
of the mortgage.

Speaker 5 (39:28):
To pay that off.

Speaker 15 (39:29):
It's a huge deal and it's made housing really expensive,
especially for people who borrow to buy a home.

Speaker 3 (39:35):
What most people do, Yes.

Speaker 15 (39:36):
Most people do, I mean not many people have the
cast to buy a home, especially with how high home
prices are, and home press has got quite high during
the pandemic and have not come down. They're actually higher
than they were last year, so that makes it extremely challenging.
I will say that the good news is that because
there isn't much buyer competition in the market right now,
it's easier for people who are putting lower down payments.

(40:00):
So okay, if you're only putting five percent down, if
you have an FHA loan, which is the kind of
loan you get if you have a lower credit score,
your first time home buyer, you can get those kinds
of offers accepted, So it's a bit easier to break
into the housing market. The hard part is having the
money and finding a home that you actually want.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
To buy right now. It's a Wealth Wednesday. Dazman Brand
is here. We're talking to Daryl Fairweather from Redfin. Is
it harder to get a mortgage now?

Speaker 15 (40:24):
It's more expensive to get a mortgage? But I don't
think it's harder to get a mortgage. Actually, the kinds
of people who are getting mortgages right now tend to
have lower credit scores, and they did during the pandemic.

Speaker 6 (40:33):
Okay, so the answer to the question is yes and no.
Is now for the first time home buyer? Is now time?

Speaker 2 (40:39):
And I want to take that to an article that
you wrote for Forbes. Yes, okay, four ways to buy
your first home even as affordability worsens because we like solutions.

Speaker 15 (40:47):
Yes, So to answer your question, I think for most
people it's going to be more affordable for them to
rent than it is to buy a home. So in
that sense, it is hard to be a first time
home buyer. I think a lot of people are going
to postpone it this year and decide to instead. But
the downside of that is that if you delay buying
a home when morgage rates drop, the competition is going
to come back. It's going to be really fierce so

(41:08):
delaying the decision it might be even harder down the road.
So if you do want to buy now, there are
things that you can do. You could team up with somebody.
It doesn't have to be your married partner. Could be
a friend and buy a home together. Make sure that
you like figure out how to pay for work, and.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
Make sure you legally get that done. It can't just
be a that's my friend, that person would never do
this to me.

Speaker 15 (41:29):
Have a contract, Like if you're going to live in
the home and your co investor is not, then treat
it like there your landlord and you're a tenant. Have
it all written out, decide what you're going to do
if you're going to sell. But that is a way
to afford home ownership a little bit early. Another thing
is that if you live in a really expensive area
and you can't afford to buy there, you may be
able to buy somewhere more affordable, And even if you're

(41:49):
not ready to move to that more affordable place, you
could use it as an investment property or a rental
property and be able to build equity and so you
can upgrade to the home that you do want later on.

Speaker 2 (41:59):
Sometimes people todys shame renting. And for people who are
out there renting, that is not a bad thing if
you're not in a position to buy, because you can
actually put yourself in a terrible position if you're putting
your all on the line to buy a property because
everyone's telling you you have to buy?

Speaker 3 (42:13):
Why rent? Why don't you own something?

Speaker 2 (42:15):
And some of us just are not right now, And
being a homeowner is a lot of responsibility.

Speaker 15 (42:20):
Yeah, and it ties you down. If you think you
might get a new job opportunity in New city in
a couple of years, you probably shouldn't buy. It's only
if you feel like you're going to stay in the
property for five years or more that it becomes more
financially savvy to own than to rent. But if you
want to be flexible, if you don't have the down payment,
there's no shame in renting. But I would say have
a savings plan, make sure you're still putting aside money

(42:42):
for your financial goals. It's not going to be automatic
like it is with home ownership, so just be really
deliberate about it.

Speaker 2 (42:48):
And so since we were just talking about selling and
we've talked about buying, is this a good time to sell?

Speaker 15 (42:53):
Well, you know, prices are still quite high, so it's
actually a great time to cash out your equity. We're
seeing a lot of people who live and really areas
like New York or California, who are cashing out and
then buying another home and all cash in a much
more affordable place. Like say you have a million dollar home,
most of your market is paid off. You can go
buy a home all cash and you don't have to
deal with those seven percent interest rates. Now, obviously not

(43:16):
everybody is so lucky to own a home with all
that equity, but there are people who really made out
well with how high home prices have gotten, who can
cash out and use that money for whatever they want.

Speaker 2 (43:26):
Now, I want to also discuss with you a housing bubble,
because I keep saying, are we having experiencing a housing bubble?

Speaker 3 (43:34):
And what is going to happen?

Speaker 2 (43:35):
Will these interest rates come down at any time or
even like you said, the prices of these homes even
though they shot up during COVID and then maybe there
it's slowing down, they still haven't come back down and stabilized. Right,
So do you think that we're in a housing bubble?

Speaker 15 (43:49):
You know, I think that there were bubbles across the
country that have already popped. Austin, for example, prices shot
up and now they've come back down. Boise is another example.
Prices are down or the pandemic and the Bay Area
and in Los Angeles. So I think that there has
been this correction in the market in certain parts. Overall,
I don't think we're gonna see a huge correction if

(44:11):
industry sales.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
Chief economists for red Fandara Fairweather is here with us
and we have more when we come back on the
housing market, is it a good time to buy or not?

Speaker 3 (44:18):
It's way up at Angela ye.

Speaker 1 (44:20):
I had a dream of wealthy and I don't mind
sharing my wealth dogs getting you straight financially, mentally and physically.
This is wealth Wednesday on way up with Angela Yee.

Speaker 3 (44:30):
What's up? Its way up with Angela Yee, Angela Yee.

Speaker 2 (44:32):
Jasmine brand is here and Darryl Fairweather, chief economists and
Redfin is here with us. Let's talk about what's happening
with these crackdowns on airbnbs. And I know it's an
issue in New York City a lot. I think now
you have to like register, there's all these new laws
in New York City about being able to have an
Airbnb property. So can we talk about that for a second.

Speaker 15 (44:54):
Yeah, So what happened is they basically outright band short
term rentals airbnbs. And this is a win for the
hotel industry, at least existing hotels, because it's going to
happen is that without airbnbs, it's going to be more
expensive to get a short term rental or hotel stay
in New York. But the good news is that the
housing units that aren't being used for airbnbs, they could

(45:14):
potentially be used for long term rentals for long term residents.
And I think that's the idea behind it. But in general,
I think they went too far. I would have preferred
to see them tax those airbnbs, bring in the revenue
and make the tax system such that, you know, if
you are trying to rent a spare room, you can
still do that and make some money, but if you're
a corporate Airbnb landlord, tax them a lot and discut

(45:37):
that revenue.

Speaker 3 (45:38):
Because it's tough.

Speaker 2 (45:38):
I see now there's a lot of people renting their
homes on like Craigslist or on the black market because
they can't use Airbnb.

Speaker 15 (45:45):
Now, Yes, and when it goes underground, it doesn't get
tax that mondy doesn't come back to the people of
New York. So I'm more in favor of having a
lot of taxes as opposed to outright vans.

Speaker 3 (45:54):
Right.

Speaker 2 (45:55):
I was also talking about airbnb squatters. Now, this story
was in the news. I think this was in like Brentwood, California,
and there was somebody who was staying there basically not
paying for the airbnb for over like a year and
a half, and the person can't get them out. Yeah,
can you break down? How can something like that happen?
They're not even paying and they're not being told they

(46:18):
have to leave.

Speaker 15 (46:19):
Right. So, there are many laws and places where tenants
have rights. If your landlord is not keeping the building
up to code, or if they're doing something else kind
of shady, the tenant can in some places choose not
to pay rent because their landlord is not providing a service. Now,
what happened in that situation was this person rented it
for six months, so they turned into a long term tenant,
not just an Airbnb person. So they were able to

(46:41):
take advantage of all those tenant protections that are not
really intended for this circumstance, and that's why it's this
whole big legal battle. But I think the lesson is
is that if you're going to rent out your home,
whether it's on Airbnb or to a long term renter,
do your research, learn the law. There are risks involved.
It's not just easy money. You have to know that
you're taking on our risk if you're going to become

(47:01):
a landlord.

Speaker 2 (47:02):
Right now, Jasmine brand is here, said Wealth Wednesday, we're
talking to chief economists at Redpin Daryl Fairweather. Now, Daryl,
I want to talk about this migrant housing situation in
New York. I mean, we see all the time we're
walking past hotels that have been converted into housing. What
do you think of some long term solutions that can
happen because out here, on the one hand, we have

(47:23):
a lot of housing issues with people who are residents
already who live here.

Speaker 3 (47:27):
We have a lot of gentrification happening. But then we're also.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
Looking at the humanity of making sure that people who
are coming here looking for our better life, maybe fleeing
whatever situation they're coming from, they also need a place
to stay. And so what can happen Because it's really
difficult in a crowded city like this too, to make
sure that everybody is accommodated.

Speaker 15 (47:45):
You know, I think there's a lot that can be done.
It used to be in New York that you would
have a lot of these single residency occupancy buildings. The
derogatory term was flop houses. We're basically just renter room
and you have a shared bathroom, shared kitchen. But those
buildings went away because they were associated with like low
class people. But bringing those back would be a very much,
much more affordable option for people who are coming, who
want to work, who just need a place to lay

(48:06):
their head at night. I think we need to be
more creative about creating housing options that work for people
who don't have much means. Unfortunately, the airbnb thing kind
of works against it because there are people who might have,
you know, rented out a room to one of these refugees,
and it might not be an option for them anymore.
So yeah, again back to perspectives. You got to look
at it from the perspective of these people. What's best
for them? Is it better for them to live in

(48:28):
just one room? I mean, maybe you wouldn't want to
live there, but they would probably be grateful just to
have a roof over their house.

Speaker 2 (48:34):
I was just saying that the other day I was
walking in. You know, there's one place that we walk
past every day and you can it's migrant housing right now.
And you know, some people might look at it like
this is terrible these but they might also be like,
I'm just happy to.

Speaker 3 (48:49):
Be here much better.

Speaker 2 (48:50):
Situation's a very community. Like the kids are outside playing, the.

Speaker 3 (48:54):
Kids having a ball.

Speaker 2 (48:55):
I don't know what's going on. Yeah, you don't know
when I was a kid. You don't know what type
of conditions you're in.

Speaker 5 (49:00):
I don't know how far was when I was living.
I have no idea.

Speaker 3 (49:04):
Well, you guys, Darrel Fairweather, make sure you check her out.

Speaker 15 (49:07):
Yeah, look me up on social media. I write for subsuck,
I write for Forbes. I'm always out there.

Speaker 3 (49:12):
That girl subscribe subscribe. That girl's that girl?

Speaker 4 (49:15):
All right?

Speaker 3 (49:15):
Thank you, Daryl Fairweather, Thank you.

Speaker 2 (49:17):
And when we come back, we have asked yee eight
hundred two nine two fifty one fifty is a number
call us with any question you have.

Speaker 3 (49:23):
We are here to help. It's way up, okay, everybody.

Speaker 1 (49:26):
Since whether it's relationship for career advice, Angela's dropping facts.

Speaker 4 (49:31):
You should know. This is ask.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
Gee, what's up? His way up with Angela?

Speaker 10 (49:34):
Yee?

Speaker 2 (49:34):
I'm Angela Ye, Dasmine brand is here, yes, and it's
time for ask ye. Now you know, you guys get
to leave a message to at eight hundred two ninety
two fifty one fifty and sometimes we take ask ye
from the messages that you leave. So we have a
message today which I feel pretty qualified to answer here.

Speaker 4 (49:50):
It is, Hey, Angela, how you doing.

Speaker 8 (49:52):
I'm just calling because I'm interested in getting me to
in broadcasting industry. I would like to be a radio personality,
and I was wondering what is the best way to
do that. I don't want to go to the traditional route.
I don't know if you need to agree to do
it or what. So I just wonder can you give
me a little bit bit of an insight on how
can break into the industry as being, you know, a

(50:13):
radio personality.

Speaker 7 (50:14):
Thank you.

Speaker 8 (50:14):
I'm coming from the West side of Chicago. Love to
hear from me, and I hope you're listening, and I
hope you put this on the air.

Speaker 4 (50:20):
By bye.

Speaker 2 (50:21):
All right, So the question is really about getting on
the air. He wants to be a radio personality. He's
from Chicago. Shout out to Chicago.

Speaker 5 (50:27):
I love Chicago.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
So here's a couple of things I will say. Number one,
just start doing But don't you feel like now that
you've been like sitting here and doing it, you've gotten
a lot better.

Speaker 5 (50:37):
Yeah, you gotta do it.

Speaker 3 (50:39):
To do it to get better.

Speaker 2 (50:40):
And while you may not be able to be on
the air right now and be in that position, you
can easily start your own podcast and get that together.
The second thing that I would say is on the
technical side of things, make sure you know how to
run a board because there's always a need for that.

Speaker 3 (50:54):
People who can.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
You know, a lot of times people who work the
boards in the beginning they go on to produce DJs,
they do other things, so those openings.

Speaker 3 (51:03):
Always come up.

Speaker 5 (51:04):
It makes you more marketable too.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
It definitely makes you more marketable when you have those
skills where you're able to handle all of those different things.
But also imagine there's an opportunity in another market where
you have to run your own board because a lot
of people when they first get started, depending on what
shift you have, you have to run your own board.
You're not going to have a board app yep, Like
we're a nastally syndicated show, so we're able to have that.
I never really had to learn how to run my

(51:25):
own board, but I lightweight, no how, but I've never
had to do it.

Speaker 3 (51:29):
It's way different doing it.

Speaker 5 (51:30):
I'm sure you could figure. I mean, I'm sure if
you worst case scenario, you.

Speaker 2 (51:33):
Would and it's gonna but it also will take some
time to get used to. So if you can do
that seamlessly and then get yourself in a position where
you can get in to working at a radio station
no matter what the format is, you can run the board.

Speaker 3 (51:45):
You're in the door. And I guess the main thing
is to get in a door.

Speaker 6 (51:48):
And you said you can start your own podcasts to
start practicing being.

Speaker 2 (51:51):
On air on a radio show, and then anytime there's
an opportunity where you can step in. As you know,
once you get your foot in the door, anytime you
have a chance to be on the air, taket. A
lot of people started off in different positions who are
on air personalities now and the people that are huge,
and you know, they all started somewhere. How long you
been doing radio, It has been like fourteen years, thirteen years,

(52:14):
thirteen years now, so yeah, it's been No, it's longer.

Speaker 5 (52:18):
Yeah, now you reaps publish thirteen years right?

Speaker 3 (52:20):
That serious?

Speaker 2 (52:21):
Yeah, nineteen years I've been doing it'll be almost twenty years.

Speaker 10 (52:24):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (52:24):
And so yeah, it's a journey. And so get ready
to at first not get paid a lot and work
a lot of hours. Maybe you'll end up in a
market that you, you know, wouldn't necessarily want to live in.

Speaker 3 (52:35):
But everybody's journey is different.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
And so while I'll say you don't want to take
the quote unquote traditional route, certain things that you can do,
which is, you know, learning how to run the board,
getting certified and other things.

Speaker 3 (52:46):
Making sure you know how to edit.

Speaker 2 (52:48):
That's important to any of those skills that you might
end up having to do for yourself or for someone
else just to get in the door, you should know
how to do so that you can be ready when
an opportunity comes. All right, and that is our ask, ye.
And when we come back, we had the last word.
Eight hundred nine fifty fifty is a number. Call us
up and let us know what your last word is.
It's way up with Angela Yee.

Speaker 1 (53:07):
