Speaker 5 (00:56):
I was trying to get some dry cleaning sent out,
so I had I told you all about this new
service I started using where they come and pick it
up and then they drop it off. Because I never
go to the dry cleaners. I'll have like dozens and
dozens of things and I just changed my mind. They
came yesterday. I'm not going to name the service right now. Now,
previously they had given me something that wasn't mine, so

(01:18):
I called them like, this is not mine. Also it
was an item included. I'm like, what is this now?
This time they came to pick up my stuff? But
the guy was dropping off stuff. Okay, but it wasn't
my stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
I was.

Speaker 5 (01:30):
I called for a pickup and he thought he was
dropping clothes off. So he was trying to give me
somebody else's clothes.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
You should have checked and seen if it was some
nice stuff. I was like, I guess he would have
came back.

Speaker 7 (01:38):
I don't want to do that, all right.

Speaker 5 (01:40):
Well anyway, so yeah, I'm gonna have to go the
old fashion way and go to the dry cleaners.

Time to shine a light. And I saw the story
that I thought was amazing. This story is actually not
a guy in the United States. He's in Canada. But
he sold his company for eight figures and now he's
using that money to build a community of tiny homes
for people who needed the most.

Speaker 7 (02:37):
Okay, so yes, Marcel Lebron is his name.

Speaker 5 (02:40):
He had a successful social media monitoring company he sold
that made all this money. And after that he said,
I see myself as a community builder. And really what
we're doing here is not just building a little community.
We're building a community in a city. So he took
four million dollars of his own money to build the
homes and now he's about three quarters of the way
they and in addition to that, he's gonna have like

(03:03):
places for them to work there too, inside of this
small community, so people can make money and have homes.
People who are in house right now that is amazing.

Speaker 7 (03:13):
So that's really dope.

his company and using the money for something positive. Okay, okay,

Here, yes, any brand. I'm my own brand.

Speaker 7 (05:19):
I don't know where Mano is.

Speaker 4 (05:21):
Where's Meno?

Speaker 5 (05:22):
I don't know, But this would have been a good
day for our board up Nick to come dressed as
Mano because Maina's not here. All right, Northwest. She is
in a new interview with ID magazine. She's on the cover.
By the way.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
That's a big deal.

Speaker 7 (05:35):
It is a huge deal.

Speaker 5 (05:36):
And amongst the things that she talked about is what
she wants to do later in life. She's only ten
years old. She said she one day I want to
own Yeezy and skims and I want to be a
business owner. All right. Elsewhere in the interview, she talked
about her most prized fashion possession, which is a vintage
velvet jacket previously owned by Michael Jackson. Wow, now that's

(05:56):
a gift. Her mom gave it back, gave her that
in twenty nineteen, and when she asked when she was
asked the name her favorite style icon, she said.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Me, this is Kanye's child.

Speaker 5 (06:08):
Absolutely love it.

Speaker 7 (06:10):
So yeah. Shout out to her a lot of confidence
so already.

Speaker 5 (06:13):
But it does show you had when your kid is
raised in a way to be like an entrepreneur when
you ask them what do you want to do? And
she's like, I'm gona run this business, this business and
have my own business.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
I love that. They asked her who, like what artist
she wanted to meet, and she said Tupac.

Speaker 7 (06:25):
Yeah, it's like okay, all right.

Speaker 5 (06:28):
Now, speaking of celebrity kids, Blue Ivy, Tina Knowles has
done an interview and she was on Sherry Shepherd and
she was talking about Blue Ivy on tour on the
Renaissance tour. People were loving how she was killing it
doing the choreography with her mom, but did you know
it was not supposed to be a full tour. Here's
what Tina Knowles had to say.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Did Blue understand like the magnitude of what she was doing.

Speaker 13 (06:53):
I don't think so. I think she just loves to dance.
And she was watching the girl's rehearse and she asked,
she said, I think I'm ready to go on stage
and her mom said, no, no, I don't think so, Blue,
And then she thought about it. She said, you know,
if you work hard and you really come with it,
then we'll let you go one time. So it was
supposed to be a one time.

Speaker 4 (07:13):
Thing, and it turned out to be the whole tour.

Speaker 7 (07:16):
It was magical, beautiful, amazing.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
It was also cool seeing how she started and then
how she finished. She got better each and every time.

Speaker 5 (07:24):
Yeah, I mean that's amazing. I mean that's a big
stage to be learning on. Tina Knows also talked about
Beyonce backstage, and you can imagine the prep work that
goes into everything getting into the right frame of mind.
But she would be I guess really mean. Here's what
she told Sherry.

Speaker 13 (07:43):
We laughed about this recently because I was saying, girl,
you get really mean back there. I am really happy
that I don't have to be back there anymore because
I used to do the quick change. We laughed because
she used to do flaws and all, and she would say,
I'm on in the morning. I'll be like in the
evening to concert, and then after we get off, she'll say, Mom,

(08:05):
I'm so sorry, and I'm like, I know, and sometimes
she'd be crying. I was like, she crying because she knows.
She just says some crazy stuff to us, but that's
the heat of the moment, so I understand it.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Funny. I love how her mommy spilling it.

Speaker 7 (08:17):
Yes, but not too much.

Speaker 5 (08:19):
Did you give you a little something just enough right
so you can be like, let's make some headlines, just
say let's not say nothing crazy?

Speaker 4 (08:25):
All right?

Speaker 5 (08:25):
Well, that is your yet and when we come back,
we have about last night. That's where we discussed what
we did last night. I told you guys, I've been
working on I'm getting my businesses together because I don't
want to neglect anything.

Speaker 7 (08:37):
So that's why every.

Speaker 5 (08:38):
Morning, all day, you know, after work, that's what I'm
working on. And I'll talk about its way up at Angela.
Ye about last night is next night?

Speaker 3 (08:46):
So about last night?

Speaker 15 (08:48):
Last night? Last night?

Speaker 3 (08:50):
Yes, I went down.

Speaker 5 (08:51):
All right, it is way up with Angela Yee. I'm
Angela Yee. Jasmine brand is here.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
I'm not just any brand. I'm my own brand.

Speaker 7 (08:58):
You've been am I a girl. Let's do about last night?
What were you up to?

Speaker 2 (09:02):
I was up to being a mom for Halloween for Halloween. Yeah,
I was, uh, well.

Speaker 7 (09:08):
Not for Halloween, but it was Halloween and you are
a mom.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
I was playing a mom for Halloween.

Speaker 7 (09:12):
You know what we meant?

Speaker 2 (09:13):
So my daughter's too, so I bought her a little
Spider Man Spider Girl outfit. Okay, so she's only two,
so she didn't really care. What made you decide Spider
person Spider person because I went on Amazon and I
thought it would be easy and nothing I had to
put on her head really and it had had a
cute little too too, okay, And so she went to
school and then they had like a little parade. So

(09:34):
me and her dad went up to the school and
they go across the street to the Old Folks Home,
the Senior Senior Living home, and then they trick or
treat there, and then they just go right back across
the street. And that's it.

Speaker 7 (09:44):
That was it.

Speaker 5 (09:44):
I was looking around to see if people were trick
or treating yesterday too, because I was in the city,
but I had to work all day yesterday, and I
did see some kids going into certain stores, like oh yeah,
but that was it. I think that's the And then.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Do they they do? Do they do trick or treating
in your building?

Speaker 5 (10:00):
They let you opt in, so if you decide you
want to, there's a list of my people who are participating.
So that's what they do. Okay, Yeah, all right, and
I was. I was noticing too because I was in
this city. I didn't see a lot of people dressed
up yesterday. Didn't feel the same for some reason.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
But you worked, you were working mostly through holiday.

Speaker 5 (10:18):
I was also seeing how bad Halloween is for the environment.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Oh, how bad is it?

Speaker 5 (10:23):
Because Halloween has a lot of like plastic decorations and
the Jack o' lanners.

Speaker 7 (10:28):
And things like that.

Speaker 5 (10:29):
Yeah, and so they were saying that Halloween is like
terrible for the environment because of all of the you know,
all of.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
That, and that's the candy is really good for you know,
I don't let I don't know what age you start
in candy, but I don't let my two year old
be candy. So I don't know what she did with
what she got from.

Speaker 5 (10:42):
The So she got the candy. But then you take it.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
Yeah, they send it home to they send home, send
it home to the parents, all right, and then they
let you do whatever you do with it.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
So well, I was at this Inclusive Capital summit yesterday
for JP Morgan.

Speaker 7 (10:54):
Does that sound exciting?

Speaker 5 (10:56):
But I will say, sometimes it's important to get out
of your comfort zone and do things like that. And
so the way that they do it is there's founders
and funders. So founders are people who are business founders,
people who are entrepreneurs, and then yes like myself, and
then there's funders, people who raise funds and have funds
so that they can invest into some of these companies.

(11:18):
It was a lot of a lot of tech companies good,
and a lot of health companies that people were looking
to invest in.

Speaker 7 (11:26):
But I also look at other opportunities.

Speaker 5 (11:28):
You know, I have coffee uplifts people, So even if
it's an enterprise opportunity where we can provide coffee for
your place of business and things like that, to me,
that's also like an investment. I would love to be
a client for any of these corporations. But I'm always
trying to think of creative ways to help elevate my
business because it's not an easy one.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
No, were you comfortable in that space or you know how.

Speaker 7 (11:47):
It depends some things.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
I'm okay, we're talking about yesterday's Yeah.

Speaker 5 (11:51):
In certain situations, in certain conversations, I do sometimes I
feel like I have to learn more.

Speaker 7 (11:56):
This is over my head.

Speaker 5 (11:57):
But I've been more comfortable with pitching and it is
easy for me to talk about my business because I know.

Speaker 7 (12:03):
A lot about it.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and so that's.

Speaker 7 (12:05):
Helpful for me.

Speaker 5 (12:06):
But even you know, working with nonprofits, I've met a
lot of people that do things that I felt like
we could really align on. So part of the mission
is at some point I want to be an investor.
Yeah right now I'm trying to get investments, but at
some point I want to be able to help other
people and be an investor into their companies. But in
the meantime, I'm investing everything in my own.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
Same, same here, same here. It sounds like a productive event.

Speaker 7 (12:30):
Yeah, we met some great people.

Speaker 5 (12:32):
Thank you to my girl Nicole Harmon from JP Morgan
from Advancing Black Pathways, because she's the person that was like, Angela,

judgment segment. So as mad as you want to get
when people will tell me wild things.

Speaker 7 (13:01):
Right if it's a woman.

Speaker 5 (13:02):
And I say no judgment, because the whole point of
the segment is no judgment. It's not because I'm agreeing
and co signing. It's because it's a place for people
to feel safe.

Speaker 10 (14:40):
An eight hour shift?

You are funny.

Speaker 7 (14:45):
Thank you for sharing.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
Thanks for staying out of jail.

Speaker 10 (14:48):
Listen, don't listen. Don't kill nobody, because if I go
to jail because I'm not medicating, I'm gonna catch you
too much charges.

Speaker 7 (14:55):
But at least you know yourself.

Speaker 10 (14:57):
Yes, you look, don't tell nobody I'm still smoking.

Speaker 5 (15:00):
Okay, we won't. We won't tell nobody. Hey, what's eponymous color?

Speaker 15 (15:05):
How are you doing good.

Speaker 7 (15:06):
Thank you. You want to tell us a secret?

Speaker 9 (15:08):
Well, you know, I've been with my girl for about
four years now, and you know I love her to death,
but she's not as sexually active as that life.

Speaker 7 (15:18):
Okay, so what's the secret?

Speaker 9 (15:20):
Thinking about going I'm thinking about going elsewhere?

Speaker 7 (15:24):
What do you mean by not as sexually active?

Speaker 9 (15:26):
Like?

Speaker 7 (15:26):
How often do you guys have sex?

Speaker 9 (15:29):
Maybe once a month?

Speaker 5 (15:30):
Wow, that is not a lot.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
How often did it used to be?

Speaker 9 (15:34):
Well, like when we first got together, almost every day?

Speaker 2 (15:37):
I mean that's normal.

Speaker 7 (15:39):
Do you guys have any kids or anything like? What changed?

Speaker 9 (15:42):
I don't know. We don't have kids together, but we
do have kids.

Speaker 7 (15:46):
What happens when you tell her?

Speaker 9 (15:48):
I mean I've told her and she's like, I know,
I'm trying, and she's always says her warmones are off
or you know, it's just always something.

Speaker 5 (15:56):
Well, I do want to say, Man, if you're gonna cheat,
you might as well break up.

Speaker 9 (16:00):
I guess what, just leave right?

Speaker 5 (16:03):
I can't say that. I mean it might be things
you need to work out. I don't know what she's
going through in her life personally. I don't know if
she's seen a doctor to see what the issue is.
You know, so it's hard to say. But if you
love her and you want to stay with.

Speaker 9 (16:14):
Her, she's got into a holistic doctor. I do love her,
I want to be with her.

Speaker 7 (16:19):
But like, okay, well yeah that's a fact.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
But you I feel like this is a complaint for guys.
Guys always say that their sex drive is more higher
than whoever they're with.

Speaker 7 (16:29):
Do you masturbate a lot?

Speaker 6 (16:30):
No?

Speaker 9 (16:31):
I shouldn't have to, though, right I got a woman.

Speaker 5 (16:34):
Right now, ideally know you should not. All right, well, listen,
it's a no judgment zone, so we are hoping that
y'all work it through and see what the issues are.
But in the meantime, good luck, good luck. Yeah, that's
all I can say, no judgment.

Speaker 7 (16:49):
Thank you. All right, Well that was tell us a secret.

Speaker 5 (16:51):

Yes, and let's get into some yet right away. Let's
talk about funny Marco open thoughts. He had Kevin Hart
on the show Okay and it is definitely a big deal.

Speaker 7 (17:31):
They had a pretty funny interview. Now. One of the
things that he asked him for was some advice.

Speaker 6 (17:36):
Listen to this, What do you feel like advice for
me and other people?

Speaker 13 (17:41):
Advice?

Speaker 6 (17:42):

Want to give somebody?

Speaker 5 (17:54):

What are you saying? What are the devices you got
for the people?

Speaker 17 (18:00):
Everybody is famili your life to the foot?

Speaker 6 (18:02):
Can you add a little bit more onto it?

Speaker 7 (18:06):
And the editing is funny because the way they have
the music.

Speaker 5 (18:09):
There was one part where Kevin Hart is talking about
how many fights he's ever had and he said he's
four and out. He's never lost a fight and then
he described all four fights.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
Are you serious?

Speaker 7 (18:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (18:18):
Funny, Of course it was funny.

Speaker 5 (18:20):
It was pretty funny. Another thing that Kevin Hart did.
And look, people and listen. I know Kevin Hart knew
what this interview was going to be before he went
into it. Absolutely And so here's what he had to
say about being a big deal and funny mark on
not being prepared.

Speaker 6 (18:33):
When's a good time to give a motivation speech? A
when someone's hitting you, b when somebody got you in
the hairlock? Or see, just answer the question.

Speaker 17 (18:42):
Michael, what is happening? I'm saying this humbly. I'm a
big guest. I thought that you would like have like
some question that's not a question worth my You get
what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
That's so funny.

Speaker 5 (18:56):
Yeah, you gotta watch the full thing. It is a
pretty funny interview. So shout out to the two of
them for doing that. And seemingly it looks like they
had a good time.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
They tell him, I'm a big guest.

Speaker 5 (19:05):
Let me see how many numbers this open thoughts of
funny Marco's podcast and if you got so far, because
it really I think it just came out yesterday. You
know me, I see something trending, I'm on it all right.
So far it's got over a million views.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
Oh wow, and it just came out yesterday. Yeah, that's huge.

Speaker 5 (19:19):
All right, Amy Rowback and TJ Holmes. I was just
asking you this morning what happened. Well, it turns out
they have a new podcast deal right here at iHeartMedia.
If you guys recall, both of them got let go
from ABC News. They co anchored Good Morning America GMA three,
and people felt like their relationship became an internal and

(19:40):
external disruption. So now they have a podcast called Amy
and TJ, and that'll be premiering on December fifth. They'll
quote get behind the microphone to explore meaningful conversations about
current events, pop culture, and everything in between.

Speaker 7 (19:54):
Nothing is off limits.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
Can I just say something? Two things? Number one, this
premiere is on my birthday, December Fifthoo. Number two, they
bet the first episode they better be talking about the drama, okay,
all right.

Speaker 5 (20:04):
Yeah, and I can't imagine that they would want to
avoid that. Yeah all right, okay, so yeah, so it's
just funny that I was just asking about it.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
You literally just said this morning this morning, and I'm sure.

Speaker 7 (20:17):
All right and shout out to Common.

Speaker 5 (20:19):
He actually just got honored with the Newcomer Award at
Black Theater United Inaugural United Gala. He definitely loves doing
his acting, probably made his Broadway debut in Between Riverside
and Crazy just last year, and so he's not yet
an Egot winner, but I think he'll end up at
some point, maybe if he keeps on this path getting
a Tony. So he went on Instagram reflecting on that.

(20:40):
He said, last night, I was really happy and grateful
to have been honored with the Newcomer Award. Receiving this
award is a great privilege to me, as from a
young age, I've always aspired to do theater. This year,
those dreams came true when I was given the opportunity
to start alongside Stephen McKinley Henderson in between Riverside and
Crazy on Broadway, being honored alongside amazing individuals to Samuel L.

(21:00):
Jackson and Latanya Richardson Jackson, Candy Burris, he said, it's
so inspiring and it's a huge privilege to be witnessed
to all the creativity and love that all the honorees
and everyone at BTU inspires.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
Let's dope for him off sidebar. You think he's still
Dayton Jahud.

Speaker 7 (21:17):
I think so.

Speaker 5 (21:18):
They were a picture together not that long ago.

Speaker 7 (21:20):
They both from Chicago.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
A cute couple.

Speaker 7 (21:22):
It's a cute couple.

Speaker 5 (21:23):
Yeah, all right, Well, when we come back, that's your Yet,
when we come back, we have under the radar. These
are the stories that are not necessarily in the headlines.
They're flying under the radar. And one of them is
about a couple who the woman just found out that
her husband married her because he lost a bet. Oh
my god, all right, eight hundred. Well you don't got
a call for that.

Speaker 7 (21:41):
It's under the radar. When we come back, it's way up.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
This in the news that relates to you. These stories
are flying under the radar.

Speaker 5 (21:48):
What's up his way up? But Angela Yee, I'm Angela
Yee and Jasmine Brand is here. I'm my own brand,
and we are going under the radar. These are stories
that are not necessarily in the headlines.

Speaker 7 (21:59):
All right.

Speaker 5 (22:00):
So this story I saw on I think it was
the is it called the Atlanta Blackstar. But one woman
is talking about how her husband married her because of
a bet and she didn't find out until later. She
said in her early twenties, she worked in a call center.
It was loud and rowdy. All of the employees were
young and rambunctious. She ended up marrying this one guy,

(22:21):
and she said, a lot of the guys on the
floor showed her a great deal of attention, but she
was a pastor's kid and a virgin. Oh oh right,
And so she thought that would mean people would stay
away from her, but actually people were more drawn to
her because of that. So she went on to date
one guy in particular who stood out to her, and
she said, I would go on to marry this gentleman.
We started a family together as a very young couple.

(22:42):
And one day she was at a party with mutual
friends who worked in the call center, and he let
it slip out that there had been a bet when
they all worked there about who could take her virginity.
Oh no, And her husband was indeed part of that bet.

Speaker 4 (22:56):
Oh no.

Speaker 5 (22:57):
And he said, even though he was motivated by the bet,
when he did get to know where he fell in
love and doesn't regret tying.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
The knots okay, that's still especially she was a virgin,
so this is a really big deal for her and
to find out.

Speaker 5 (23:10):
That is a bad gone too far, like if he
got married for that. But he said he did grow
to love her they started a family.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
Well, he did grow to love her, oh my god.

Speaker 5 (23:18):
I mean maybe once they started dating, because she said
they would talk on the phone for hours and hours
and hours.

Speaker 7 (23:22):
Yeah, he liked her and they went on. But that's
still out.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
He should have told her to at some point.

Speaker 7 (23:27):
I don't know. He probably thought she had never know.

Speaker 5 (23:30):
But the fact that everybody else knew that doesn't feel
good all right. Now, people who use Facebook and Instagram
in about thirty European countries will soon have a choice
to pay seventeen dollars a month for Facebook and Instagram,
and that would be so they can stop seeing ads,
all right, So that's not Facebook and Instagram without ads
isn't available in the United States. Now. You may be

(23:50):
asking who would be wanting to pay for something that
is free right now, But they did say that people
do pay for YouTube to watch videos without ads. Yeah,
and so under that model subscription, maybe people would pay
for Facebook and Instagram without ads. I actually kind of
like the ads because they target the stuff that you
look at already, and I'm like, oh, this is a seal.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
And I'll always get shoes and stuff like that and
shopping and stuff like that. So I like the ads too.

Speaker 7 (24:17):
Yeah, so I think I'd rather keep my ads, thank
you very much.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
Yep.

Speaker 7 (24:21):
All right.

Speaker 5 (24:21):
And door dash and this is something that we suspected,
but door dash is now warning you that your food
might get cold if you don't tip. Orders without tips
included ahead of time are less lucrative to drivers, which
means you might be waiting longer.

Speaker 7 (24:35):
All right.

Speaker 5 (24:36):
So in other words, if you've noticed that you're not
a good tipper m hm, and your food takes a
long time to get there, it might be because get
in tip and they're like, we're gonna do this order first, disorder, disorder, disorder,
and then we'll get to you when we get to
you now DoorDash pokesperson Jen Rosenberg said, every day dashes
go the extra amount to help connect consumers with the
best of their local communities. That's why we encourage customers

(24:57):
to show their appreciation by tipping in the and in contractors.
Dashes have full freedom to accept or reject offers based
on what they view as valuable and rewarding.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Interesting. I wonder if their base pay is though.

Speaker 5 (25:09):
And the other thing is sometimes you tip in cash
and so that wouldn't be on there. So now your
food might get there late, and then you might be like.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
I wonder if you can tell them, like we'll tip
when you you know.

Speaker 7 (25:18):
You can send a message.

Speaker 5 (25:19):
Yeah, all right, Well that is you're under the radar,
and you know we've got the way up.

Speaker 7 (25:23):
Makes it at the top of the hour.

Speaker 5 (25:24):
Plus it's a Wealth Wednesday and Damon John will be
joining us, and you know, Black Entrepreneur's Day is going
to be streaming on Black entrepreneurs Day dot com, so
you can watch that tonight. But make sure y'all check
in for our interview for Wealth Wednesday. It's way up
at Angela Yee just like the like they Angela like
they Angelajee.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
Man, she's spilling it all. This is yet way off.

Speaker 5 (25:49):
All right, it's way up at the Angela Yee. I'm
Angela Yee. Jasmine brand is here.

Speaker 4 (25:53):
I'm not just any brand, I'm my own brand.

Speaker 5 (25:55):
Make sure you check out the Jasmin brand dot com
too for a lot of these stories. Yes, all right,
ex NBA started Joe Smith. He found out that his
girlfriend has an only fans page.

Speaker 7 (26:05):
Now.

Speaker 5 (26:05):
I'm gonna be honest, I thought this whole thing was
a skit originally when this happened. Listen to this.

Speaker 14 (26:11):
Here, just finding out she's got her own fans all
these years.

Speaker 5 (26:21):
All right, So he was upset and she felt like
she shouldn't have to tell him my body, my choice. Well,
she also revealed that he left home due to her
starting that only fan. She was on TMZ Live. Here's
what she said.

Speaker 7 (26:36):
He's pretty pissed off with me. You think he's at
his sister's house. He's not talking to me right now.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
I've had the page.

Speaker 8 (26:42):
For at least over a year. But that's what happens
when you don't pay attention to your wife. It's no
secret shows financial issues And I'm sorry.

Speaker 7 (26:51):
You knew I was an adult video star when you
met me.

Speaker 8 (26:54):
If I would do anything for my own survival, then
what makes you think that would change now she did
it for them.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
It really does sound staged the way she I mean,
let's just recording him his reaction and then going on
TMZ to talk about his reaction again. It just it
sounds like she's trying to get us to go to
her only fans or also maybe to get on a
reality show or something.

Speaker 5 (27:15):
And I did not know his financial problem.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
I didn't even because she said, we all know, well,
I didn't even know him, and this is no shade
to him. I just I was not familiar with him.

Speaker 5 (27:24):
So he made over sixty one million dollars, but taxes
and agent fees reduce his earnings, leaving him with approximately
eighteen million dollars. So that doesn't sound like to struggle
at all. But anyway, you have an update. Oh yeah,
I do have an update. I thought, Okay, I'm sorry,
let me scroll up really quick. And the update is
he's not going to leave her over this. He'll probably
come around, so we won't. They won't be getting a

(27:46):
divorce over this. But obviously this is a big issue. Okay,
that's it, all right, only fans. Look, I'm trying to
help the whole family out.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
I want to see some of her work. I'm not
gonna lie, but I guess that's the whole point of it.

Speaker 5 (27:56):
Well, go signing, because now they just made a whole
lot more money with this whole story, all right now.
Marcus Jordan said that he wants his dad to be
his best man when he gets married to Larsa Pippen.
He's definitely getting ready for this whole wedding, and he
was on Pablo Torre finds out the two of them
were actually on there together, Marcus and Laursa, and here's
what he had to say.

Speaker 15 (28:15):
It's in the works. I don't think we have like
a date.

Speaker 14 (28:18):
We're still talking about locations and party size and all
that stuff, so it's not really concrete yet, but it's
it happened.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
Do you want your dad to give a toast at
your wedding? How does this work?

Speaker 9 (28:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (28:29):
You know, look, I was the best man at his
wedding and the best man at my brother's wedding, and
so obviously we'll keep that tradition going.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
You think they're all wet Jordan's of course they will. Okay,
you're friendly with him. Do you see them too walking
down the aisle?

Speaker 5 (28:41):
Like listen, I don't know. I never know what could happen, Okay,
all right, because you could know somebody really really well
and in and have no idea. Okay, I didn't think
they were really dating at first.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
I've never seen him so public, so this is really different.

Speaker 7 (28:54):
It's different for him.

Speaker 5 (28:55):
Yeah, all right, now, Lauren London is going to get
paid five point six million dollars and that's going to
be for Nipsey Hustle's son, and they'll split fifty percent
of the Marathon Clothing Company. According to court documents obtained
by Radar Online, Black Sam submitted his final accounting report
that revealed the estate's assets. He was appointed to take
control of Nipsey's finances after his death, and the only

(29:18):
two beneficiaries are Nipsey sun Cross, who we have with
Lauren London, and his daughter Imani, who he had with
his ex Tanisha Foster. Okay, all right, so the estate
had a round eleven million dollars on hand, and so
there you go, family, and I'm sure that's the way
he would have wanted his kids absolutely. All right, Well
that is your yet and when we come back, I
want to talk about boundaries at work, all right. Robert

(29:39):
de Niro was testifying in court. Apparently his assistant has
a civil trial, has a civil suit against him, and
that is for work behavior and issues that they've had together.

Speaker 7 (29:50):
He's also counter suing her.

Speaker 5 (29:52):
And I want to talk about some of the things
that we found out from these documents and what was
happening during the testimony in this trial. At one point
he made her go to Nobu at eleven pm a
night to bring him a drink.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Oh, that drink was probably televery to him.

Speaker 7 (30:05):
Yeah, it's probably a LEECHI Martini.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
Oh, I talk about it.

Speaker 5 (30:08):
When we come back. I want to know about boundaries
at work, all right. It's way up with the angel.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
Volume up, y'allll be way up with Angela brea, break
them down more now down.

Speaker 5 (30:21):
All right, it is way up at the antelayee. I'm
Angela yee. Jasmine brand is here.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Yes. Happy in November?

Speaker 7 (30:27):
Yeah, happy November.

Speaker 11 (30:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (30:28):
And we're talking about boundaries at work all right.

Speaker 14 (30:31):
Now.

Speaker 5 (30:32):
I know a lot of times people will be like,
when I'm outside of work, do not call me, do
not ask me to do anything. But then I know
there's some people the way that they work is I'm
on call twenty four hours if you wake me up
out my sleep. And I feel like most of my
jobs have been like that.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
Yeah, and depends on the industry. Obviously, certain jobs to understand,
but their jobs where it kind of doesn't stop all
the time.

Speaker 5 (30:53):
My first job out of college was working for WOU
tang and I remember I used to have to book
the car services for everybody because people were using the
car service, and so people would call me at like
two am in the morning, like I need a ride
from the studio, and I would have to get up
and like literally call just to do car service.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
Those kind of jobs you don't really have a life.
I feel like, yeah, you're limited, like you know, in
terms of having your own life.

Speaker 5 (31:15):
Because imagine I don't answer the phone and now they're like, yo,
we're trying to reach you. And so you have to
know that ahead of time. Some people, especially as an
executive assistant. Well, Robert de Niro was having problems with
his assistant, Chase Robinson, and she actually first sued him.
This is a civil suit for gender that she said
that he oversaw a workplace with gender discrimination through his

(31:37):
company CANW Productions. She was an executive assistant for over
a decade and subjected her to gratuitous, unwanted physical contact.
Well he denied it and filed a countersuit and said
that she improperly charged hundreds of thousands of dollars worth
of personal expenses like meals, uber rides to the company
credit card and also stole five million Delta sky miles
for personal vacations, and then during working hours he was

(32:00):
binge watching Netflix shows.

Speaker 7 (32:02):
According to his countess suits.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
Now everything you just said, my Delta, skuy, that's where
you've gone too.

Speaker 5 (32:08):
Far, right, And you know, in one instance, they asked
him about a delivery from Nobu and by the way,
he does co own Nobu.

Speaker 7 (32:18):
Oh, that's different, Robert de Naro.

Speaker 5 (32:20):
And so the lawyer asked him, one time you really
wanted a particular martini at Noble and you asked her
to deliver it for you. Yes, And they said it
was at eleven PM, and he said that would have
been one time.

Speaker 7 (32:30):
That's different.

Speaker 5 (32:32):
And now they also said that he called his assistant
at her grandmother's funeral. That's a bit much. She had
an issue with that. And you know what he said,
I don't know if they were putting the body.

Speaker 7 (32:42):
In the ground.

Speaker 5 (32:43):
Now, that's funny, right, So he said he made two
phone calls while she was at her grandmother's funeral, and
he explained why he thought it was okay.

Speaker 7 (32:51):
While he was on the stand, he didn't know that.

Speaker 5 (32:55):
And I guess she had told him at a certain
point that it would be fine for him to call her,
but like that, maybe just take a break, Yeah, and
let her do her morning and.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
Grief, give her some time.

Speaker 5 (33:05):
But yeah, So for everybody out there, if you have
an assistant, or if you're in a place of work,
just make sure you set those boundaries sure on both ends.

Speaker 2 (33:11):
Yeah, yeah, it seems kind of like they both might
have been blurred.

Speaker 5 (33:14):
Yeah, all right, Well, when we come back, we have
asked Yee. Eight hundred two ninety two fifty one fifty
is a number any question you have. I'm here and
Jasmine Brand is here and we want to help you out.
Is way up with Angela Yee?

Speaker 3 (33:24):
Relationship for career advice? Angela's dropping facts? You should know
this is ask ye what's up?

Speaker 5 (33:30):
As Way up with Angela? Ye, I'm Angela Yee and
Jasmine Brand is here. Yeah, Jasmine, and it's time to
ask ye where we give advice to our listeners. Eight
hundred two niney two fifty one fifty. We have Marco
on the line.

Speaker 7 (33:41):
What's that Marco?

Speaker 15 (33:42):
What's up? Ye?

Speaker 6 (33:43):
What up? Man?

Speaker 7 (33:44):
What's good? What's your question?

Speaker 6 (33:46):
So?

Speaker 12 (33:46):
I just took my girl out. She just turned forty,
and you know I've been looking it up on Google
because she got a nine year old. So for the future,
I'm looking to have more children, and I feel like
it's going to be difficult with her. She's she said,
she's had complications, and.

Speaker 6 (34:01):
You know, she's kind of an older woman now.

Speaker 12 (34:03):
So I don't know if I should continue to short
myself in a relationship by not being able to have
a family in the future or just keep trying for
that in the future.

Speaker 7 (34:11):
And Jasmine could chime in here too, because Jasmine has
a two.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
Year old and I'm older.

Speaker 5 (34:15):
Yeah, yeah, and so she had her child above forty also.
But I do want to say, when it comes to
women and fertility and children and complications that can happen
in your twenties thirties, it's never a given. Yeah, So
it's hard to say what people are going through. But
what she can do when you guys are serious about it,
there's a lot of different options, whether it's IVF IUI,

(34:38):
whether it's her you know, because she still will have
eggs to freeze if she chooses to do that. Also,
and I think if she wants to have kids and
you want to also, there's a lot of ways that
you can make that happen, but it's never a guarantee.

Speaker 7 (34:51):
It could not be a guarantee with somebody younger.

Speaker 5 (34:53):
And I do know that as women get older it
is more difficult, but that doesn't.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
Mean it's impossible.

Speaker 5 (34:58):
It's impossible, and that could happen to someone at any age.
But it really is just a matter of, you know,
making sure that you explore whatever is available to you.

Speaker 2 (35:07):
How old are you? Yeah, thirty one, he's.

Speaker 15 (35:09):
Thirty one, Just thirty one?

Speaker 6 (35:10):
Yeah, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
I think if you guys are serious, or when you
are serious, maybe she goes to the doctor and you
all have a conversation with her obgyn.

Speaker 12 (35:17):
Yeah, maybe I should try that factor because we haven't
talked about having another child and stuff like that, but
I just I know that the age gap and stuff
like that. It's like, you know, if I say, with
another two years, should be forty two, and there'd be
much more complications than me being.

Speaker 6 (35:31):
Thirty three at a time.

Speaker 12 (35:33):
And now I want to have a family, you know, right.

Speaker 5 (35:35):
And listen, we've talked to doula's you know, and you
should lay them time. And she was up here and
she was saying that they always call it a geriatric
pregnancy over like thirty five. Yeah, but you know back
in the day, yes, people used to have kids a
lot younger. They also used to die a lot younger,
and modern technology and things have changed a lot. So
I would be always it's a concern because you know

(35:58):

you also could start trying and then if there's issues
in a couple of years or whatever. At least she
has frozen her eggs and she could do that now,
but it's a lot of different options nowadays too, yep.

on what what the options are.

Speaker 7 (37:21):
What's up? Its way up with Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee.

Speaker 5 (37:23):
And of course my Wealth Wednesday partner, Stacy Tisdale is
here with me.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
Happy Wealth Wednesday because I am so excited about our
guest today.

Speaker 5 (37:31):
Yeah, me too, Damon John, what's just done?

Speaker 15 (37:35):
Oh man?

Speaker 11 (37:36):
Thanks so much for having me. Yeah, it's all good here.
I'm excited it's happened.

Speaker 14 (37:40):
Well.

Speaker 5 (37:41):
Listen, Black Entrepreneur's Day is streaming today, so everybody can
have a chance to get that knowledge that. By the way,
I just want to put it out there, thank you, Damon.
Since you've been doing this right in twenty twenty, I've
been helping and supporting as a co host every single year,
so I definitely appreciate you for always making up call
for me to come in and participate.

Speaker 11 (38:01):
Well, it is an honor, and I appreciate you giving
us and blessing us with your your presence, your insight,
your following, your professionalism, and it is just always it's
always a blessing.

Speaker 15 (38:12):
So thank you.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
Also, congratulations. You have given out seven hundred and fifty
thousand dollars in grants through this.

Speaker 11 (38:19):
And I yeah, seven fifty and we will almost hit
the million dollar mark tonight and it is amazing. So yeah,
I think the beautiful thing about it is, first of all,
a lot of people don't understand we've been giving away
chrunks of twenty five thousand dollars with the NAACP grants, right.
I've also collected these sponsors for a very specific reason.
If you didn't win the money, that's fine, But if

(38:40):
you tune in tonight, and if you want to know
where should I get the best business insurance? And they
all these companies have had resources at the time prior
to when.

Speaker 15 (38:51):
I started out of the frustration of George Floyd.

Speaker 11 (38:53):
So when you go in and you go, man, I
need telecommunication information on how to set up on wait
Minute team mobill have all this. I need insurance for
my business. Okay, the general I need to know. I
don't want to deal with retail.

Speaker 15 (39:04):
How do I open this up? Oh my god, shopping flop?

Speaker 11 (39:07):
And how do I get some funding with some you know,
with other grants and other loads?

Speaker 15 (39:11):
Oh chase?

Speaker 8 (39:12):
Right?

Speaker 15 (39:13):
Where do I get materials? Loads?

Speaker 11 (39:15):
And the reason why we bring these people into they
don't just give money. They go here's resources that we.

Speaker 15 (39:19):
Have for free.

Speaker 11 (39:20):
And I'm just trying to fit this universe because us,
as African American and anybody, it's too confusing, you know,
the good people like us who are trying to just
really give and get stuff out there. We're not scamming you.
We don't have anything else, but what we're trying to
do this is the people that I know, that I trust,
that have been doing the right thing by us, and
here's a database for them to use.

Speaker 5 (39:40):
Right now, I'm here with Stacy Tisdale for Wealth Wednesday,
we're talking to Damon John and I think that's important too,
just the mentorship that's available, the free courses, the information.
Another thing I will say about actually physically being there,
and now when you join the stream you can do
this too is being in a room with other entrepreneurs.
And that's important too, because I feel like that network

(40:00):
of people who support each other. I've met so many
people personally, and so I just think being around like
minded people. A lot of times we get into this
of our circle of people who were around, and we
can be really reluctant to expand that. And being an
entrepreneur can be really lonely too at times where you
feel like nobody understands your plight. But when you can
talk to other people and feel like, okay, you understand

(40:21):
what I'm going through, Well I went through this, but
how did you handle that? That's a great support system too,
just to be able to see that and be in
the room and be on watching the stream live and
talking to people because you can also have conversations there.

Speaker 7 (40:33):
Right, hundred percent right, you're going to.

Speaker 15 (40:35):
Be in there with entrepreneurs. And then let's think about
it like this.

Speaker 11 (40:38):
You know, it's no secret there's a lot of systemic
issues that have happened, and it even happen till today when
COVID money is handed down and we get little to
none of them. Well, you don't have an excuse, now
why because you're going up against other African American business
is pitching. So now it's all about come with your
a game.

Speaker 15 (40:54):
Then when you are.

Speaker 11 (40:54):
In those rooms and you're talking to other people, you
may be like, well, how did you get your you know,
can you give me a million dollars?

Speaker 15 (41:00):
No, you can't put hire you get your first million dollars.

Speaker 11 (41:03):
As you come up, you move into different rooms with
different people, but you only do that by getting outside
of your box.

Speaker 1 (41:09):
What would your tips be an entrepreneur who are there, like, well,
my head's to the grindstone twenty four to seven.

Speaker 7 (41:16):
I barely have time for this.

Speaker 1 (41:18):
Sometimes, things like mentoring and finding those support groups, we
just don't feel like we have the time or the
bandwidth to do it, and we can't get out of
our own way.

Speaker 11 (41:27):
Well, first of all, to know that you need to
get out of your own way, because that's exactly what
we try to do. We try to learn everything and
because when we come up, we haven't had many people
that can help us, and nobody can from legacy. Well,
but the more importantly, first of all, I think you're right,
you got to educate yourself on stuff and whether that's
a book or YouTube or whatever the case is. But secondary,
when you want help from other people, you have to

(41:47):
see how can you be a service to them more
importantly than they can be a service to you, Because
it's bartering right opm. And not other people's money, it's
other people's mind power, manpower, manufacturing, marketing.

Speaker 15 (41:58):
So if I want to really help when.

Speaker 11 (42:00):
I was starting, Nicole, well, I'm going to go over
to both of you and say, well, how do I
communicate this effectively on my social media? And you'll tell me,
and I'll say, but what can I make for you
that you can have that you sell for yourself? And
now we have a symbiotic trade. So I'm borrowing your
knowledge and your customers, and you're borrowing my fabric and

(42:21):
my skill set as you know the kids called Collabo.

Speaker 5 (42:28):
All right, it is a Wealth Wednesday and Damon John
from Shark Tank, founder of Fu Boo, and founder of
Black entrepreneurs Day is here with us. We'll be back
with more when we come back. It's way up with
Angela Yee.

Speaker 3 (42:38):
I don't mind sharing my wealth dog getting you straight financially,
mentally and physically. This is Wealth Wednesday on Way Up
with Angelaee.

Speaker 7 (42:46):
What's up as way up with Angela Yee.

Speaker 5 (42:47):
I'm Angela Yee and Stacy Tisday, my partner for Wealth Wednesday,
is here. We are talking to Damon John about Black
entrepreneurs Day. Now, Damon, I noticed also as I was
a guest hosting behind the scenes, you had a lot
of young people there. We had a girl Jazzy from
Jazzy's World, also the McLaury twins. We're asking questions and
you even had your daughter backstage. Why is that important

(43:08):
to you to have the younger generation involved in seeing
things like this?

Speaker 11 (43:12):
So it's funny, right, my daughter was making the little bracelest.
I hope she didn't hustle you for one because I
told her, I said, you know, daddy is the one there,
and I don't want people feeling bad, so you should
sit aside and you should say hi uh and make
them braceist with Chanel with with cocoa and I see daughter, right,
So she was realizing, you know how to sell now,
but then she got out of hand. But when she

(43:33):
gets on stage and she gives us to one of
our surprise guests, a huge legendary rapper, she said, I
want to give him bracelest. She gave him one, and
then she said, Daddy, he on me five dollars.

Speaker 15 (43:42):
I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, he on
me five hollars.

Speaker 11 (43:46):
So now my next one is going to be little
Nika learns to pause.

Speaker 15 (43:53):
So yeah, like she's like, am she either this way
or that way? They in over the middle this while
so you like it?

Speaker 14 (44:00):
You do?

Speaker 7 (44:00):
Oh fight outans? I mean she does.

Speaker 11 (44:02):
And then Chanelle, you know coobo, I see's daughter, you know,
then make it an excuse that like you don't need
to buy out.

Speaker 15 (44:07):
I know, but how I'm gonna pay her?

Speaker 3 (44:08):
That's my podact, right.

Speaker 11 (44:10):
So you know, if you start thinking like that at a
young age, like where our habits have made at six, seven, eight,
nine years old, you know they're not made at fourteen
and eighteen, we start thinking about who we want to be,
you know, four five sixty seven.

Speaker 5 (44:22):
Right now, I'm here with Stacy Tisdale for Wealth Wednesday.
We're talking to Damon John when.

Speaker 1 (44:27):
Our viewers are in our audience tunes and tonight at
seven pm at Black Entrepreneurs Day dot Com. Tell us
about some of your favorite moments from the conversation.

Speaker 15 (44:37):
Well, my favorite moment.

Speaker 11 (44:37):
I'm gonna tell I'm gonna give you this surprise, and
really a surprise.

Speaker 6 (44:40):
You know.

Speaker 11 (44:41):
The mayor in New York City showed up and he
gave me two proclamations one from the state and one
from the city for Black entpreneurs the week. So it's
officially networking. Four years we have become now the largest
streamed entrepreneur program, you know, on the internet, and I've
gotten a proclamation. But then I was I was fortu
I brought out of my man ice team flavor Play.

(45:03):
Then when I got to see the old and the young,
I got to see.

Speaker 15 (45:06):
Rick Roy said, Rick what's up? You want flavor Play?

Speaker 11 (45:08):
He was like, that would be historical me on the stage,
Ricky Rose, flavor Play really is the ultimate name. When
it comes to hip hop and Heypman on the Apollo
State Let's go. So you know, we had we just
had a really good time. We'll be Goldwork talked about
American woman, think about how hard it was for her
coming up in the industry and dominating all four areas

(45:30):
of the arts. So you're gonna learn a lot of stuff.
But more importantly, these people in Shaquille and know, these
people are talking about the lowest point of their life
when they had nothing and what did they.

Speaker 15 (45:39):
Do to get out of it. Not about the gloss.
They're talking about the lowest part of their life, so
more of us can relate to it.

Speaker 7 (45:45):
And said it the entertainer was there, Anthony Andison. Yeah, yeah,
I mean it was honestly, such an amazing vibe.

Speaker 5 (45:51):
It was a great time, but so much information being
learned at the same time that it was entertaining. And
when the mayor came out to give you October twenty first,
I believe it is Black Entrepreneur's Day.

Speaker 7 (46:02):
You had no idea what was happening.

Speaker 3 (46:04):
We were like, I almost.
