thousand dollars in restitution.
Speaker 2 (04:31):

Speaker 4 (04:33):
Absolutely, way better than jail.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yeah, they said he they thought he was going to
get a two to three year sentence based on federal guidelines.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
He did go ahead and take that plea deal. So
there it is.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
I mean, yeah, man free all of guys.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Well, good for him, all right. Dwayne Wade is launching
his own podcast with iHeartMedia. It's called The Why, and
that actually starts on January seventeenth. It'll be interviews between
him and athletes, musicians, entrepreneurs and more So. He's going
to have a two part episode which has a roundtable
with fellow Basketball Hall of famers and he'll talk about
(05:10):
also the experience of being a rookie and things like that.
Upcoming guests include Carmelo, Anthony, Rick Ross, pat Riley, and
Lindsay Vaughn and Moore.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
There you go excited for that? Yes? No, all right.
Keith Lee, celebrity food critic. He went to the Bay Area.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
He made that step in the Bay Area, but then
he ended up cutting that visit short. He departed suddenly,
and he posted a video explaining why. Here's what he
had to say.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
I truly don't believe the Bay is a place of
tourist right now, and that's what I was, a tourist.
The people in the Bay are just focused on surviving.
And this is the first city where I have over
six videos that I don't feel comfortable with posting because
nothing about my experience was constructive. Number three and probably
the most important, I had to go to the hospital
because I had an allergic reaction to one of the
meals I had. This restaurant in particular, cooked the plethora
of meats, including shell fish. My family specifically asked if
(05:59):
they could on the same grill. They say yes, but
they would clean it. This second I ate it, I
blew up black a balloon all right.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
In the full video, he also talks about how he's
not comfortable because people there are just trying to survive.
They're focused on surviving, people living in tents, burned cars.
He said it was shocking and he does wish the
city would step in, right.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
You know.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
I remember going there and doing my show when I
was on the Breakfast Club there, and it'd be like
the middle of the night, you got to go to
the studio because at the time, differends and just seeing
what it was like at night with the tents up
in the city and going into like expensive restaurants and
stepping over people who are unhoused and feeling like, man,
why how could they not do something? Because it's also
such an expensive city to live in.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Absolute is I think it's more expensive than there.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Yeah, it is, and so imagine all this money that's there,
but such a disparity.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
All right.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Kevin Hart said he wouldn't host the Oscars again, and
he says that award shows are not comedy friendly environments anymore.
He was talking to Sky News and here's what he
had to say.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I'm still ready for you to host the Oscars.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
It's not gonna you say, it's not gonna kill the
idea of it.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
It's not right to kill the idea.
Speaker 11 (07:09):
Only reason why, like in this case, like even with Joe,
there's just no there is no return of good Listen.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
He does that because you know how hard it is
to host one of these award shows, Like Joe Cooy
just hosted, right, and he got the gig like a
couple of weeks beforehand.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
But they are He's a really funny comedian.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Stiff audience, right, it's.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
A very stiff audience, and then you kind of got
a jab at people that's there who may not have
the best sense of humor. Here's what he said about
Joe Coy actually hosting when he was on Watch What
Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
I have no reaction to it. Joe Coy is a
phenomenal comedian. He sells out everywhere.
Speaker 11 (07:44):
That's a tough room to industry room where the expectation
is one of like consequence. So everybody's on edge about
what are you going to say about me? So it's
not one that uh, that's attached to immediate laughter. So
I think the comments that have partaken and have had success,
it's because they have a nice understanding of the industry
and the personnel.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Yeah, so it's tough. It's tough, all right, Well, that
is your ut. And when we come back, we have
about last night. That's where we discussed what we did
last night. I know you were exhausted, but I want
to talk about the whole process of what goes into
filming your own show. So we'll discuss that when we
come back. It's way up.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
So about last night. Last night, last night, I went down.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
It's way up at Angela ye Angela yee, and my
guy Mana was here with me, a new one, not
the old one, not the old one, and definitely not
the old one. So now, Mano, a lot of people
out here are like trying to figure out you know,
maybe they have an idea, maybe they would like to
produce their own show, but there's a lot that goes
into it. And you've been working on yours. Yeah, for
you know, you just filmed the pilot. So I want
(08:49):
you to talk about you wrapped last night. What the
whole process was like.
Speaker 8 (08:54):
An idea, that's the first thing, having an idea, putting
it on paper, and then building a team that can.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Help you get that idea out.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
How do you find the right team?
Speaker 8 (09:05):
Man, You gotta you gotta look, you gotta network, you know,
you gotta you gotta be a people person. You gotta
get out there, you gotta you know, you gotta do.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
What you do?
Speaker 12 (09:14):
Now?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Is this something that you wrote a script for? How
does this work?
Speaker 8 (09:17):
So this is something I had an idea of doing,
like a an urban in Curby Curby Enthusiasm If anybody's
familiar with.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
That, that's one of my favorite show it's so funny.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Like something urban.
Speaker 8 (09:28):
And the closest thing that I thought was was that
was Kenyam Barras when he did black af Okay, all right,
I thought that that was kind of similar. But you know,
I felt like nobody's doing it from like a a
hip hop perspective, So I felt like it would be
it would be dope to kind of capture that me
playing myself in these in these situations that are humorous.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Though, because you have a lot of humorists, real life
situations that happened if people could just hear.
Speaker 8 (09:54):
Right, So we taking the situations that might be real,
and then we kind of like putting some humor to it, right,
real life situations in my day to day me really
being who I am every single day. So it really
came together really dopem.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Okay, well, when can we expect to see this or
see something from it or at least a sizzle?
Speaker 2 (10:13):
When when do we get that?
Speaker 4 (10:14):
So give me about two weeks? Okay, all right, two weeks.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
We are definitely looking forward to that because, let me
tell you something, I always say this real life is
so much more entertaining than anything that's fictional. And when
we see what's been happening last year or already this year.
I mean, it's been incredible. So I would love to
see things like that play out on television or on
the big screen, just reflective of what's going on in
our real lives here today, because sometimes it.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Feels like a movie.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
It is a movie. My life is a movie.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
All right, Well that was about last night.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
But in his Rico trial, Lebron was mentioned, Serena Williams

Speaker 2 (15:04):
It's way up with Angela yee. I'm Angela yee.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
And manos here no mana and for some yet all right,
first and foremost, according to reports, Peter Thomas was arrested.
That's Cynthia Bailly's ex husband from Real Housewives of Atlanta
for DUI. According to page six, he was booked on
Tuesday at two pm, and so he does have a
(15:27):
mugchat that's out. He was released the same day on
a nearly three thousand dollar bill. He was cited for
driving without a license, not having proof of insurance, failure
to maintain elaine expired no tag, and a violation of
traffic control device.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
So now he cannot drink and he also cannot in
just marijuana.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
He has to also do random drug and alcohol testing
at his own cost, and he cannot possess any firearms.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
He can drop neither.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
No, he cannot right now.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
All right, So now let's get into this Young Thug
trial that's going on. By the way, according to Meghan
Kune if it says here that they're not going to
be back in court until January twenty second, and the
judge told everybody that they should get their flu shots.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
So this is the jerors.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
They don't hiatus because of the flu.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Yeah, I guess somebody's sick. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
And everybody has to go get their flu shots right now.
But some things that did happen yesterday Lebron's name. Oh no, First,
let's start with you before we get into that, because
you do have a song. But young Thug, you've had
this song for quite some time.
Speaker 8 (16:25):
You've been sitting on it for some reason, for a
little bit right before the right before the pandemic.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
All right, so we do have a snippet of that.
Speaker 11 (16:33):
I with a dope.
Speaker 14 (16:34):
Batifo, I'm gonna go get these money. I got no
clothes in the storm hunted. I went in quieting in
the morning. Then I got in and went to storming,
funny quiet.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
The something put.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
The rest well bring yeah, all right, So when is
this going out real soon, real soon.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Okay, maybe like next month?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
All right?
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Really a tree shouts at the freaked up fret Thug.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Now Lebron was mentioned in Young Thug's Rico trial now
has a defense attorney. Brian Still was saying that all
of the motions and the alleged gang activity, all of
that is all part of hip hop culture. It doesn't
necessarily mean that you're in a gang. So here's how
Lebron was mentioned.
Speaker 15 (17:18):
Have you seen Lebron James but out of video wiping nose,
saying slime to his teams.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I'm seen Lebron jaying I think got a different hand
straight for each clue.
Speaker 15 (17:28):
Did one of them include wiping nose thing slime if
you remember, if you don't remember it, so came to
sustained and Lebron mayor did it?
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Now that's him questioning y ISL co founder Tick. Who's
understand right now?
Speaker 8 (17:41):
I just feel like I wish he would have answered
that better, more clearer, because that actually helps well.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Another thing that was asked was about Serena Williams krip walking.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
You know what Serena Williams is.
Speaker 15 (17:54):
Have you seen her at Wimbledon doing what's called akp walk.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Do you know what krip walk is? First off, I
don't want.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
To see come on, you're not too cool to watch tennis.
But yeah, I don't know if he didn't know those
answers ahead of time. But he's also understand maybe he's
being honest, he doesn't watch tennis, he's never seen it.
Speaker 8 (18:13):
Like him saying that helps him because that creates this
this this thing. Way he's saying, it's tennis, right do things,
But that doesn't mean it the game.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Members, right, Serena's not a gang member. Neither is Lebron.
All right, well that is your yut And 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. One of them is an exclusive from Fortune.
I want you all to know about this. Goldman Sachs
has very quietly shut down their diversity investment program, you know,
(18:42):
and we'll tell you why, because you see a lot
of people who are moving away from DEI and making
it seem like it's the worst thing. So we got
to discuss that. But in the meantime, let's hear Lloyd
and Lil Wayne. We love this song you. It's way up.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
It's just in the news that relates to you. These
stories are flying under the radar.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Yeah, put angela ye angela, yee.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Meinos in the ability, Okay, and let's get into these
under the radar stories. By the way, a lot of
people have been getting the flu lately. I'm not sure
if you've noticed.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
I've been saying it, but according to.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
According to reports, low vaccination rates against the latest versiones
of COVID and influenza are putting pressure on healthcare systems
this winter, according to rapports Era, too many people in
need of serious medical care for the flu, according to
the World Health Organization, and they said we can't prevent it.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I've never gotten a flu vaccination shot, have you?
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Neither know?
Speaker 3 (19:35):
They always offer them like for free in different places,
but definitely don't want to end up in the hospital.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
And I see a lot of people have been getting like.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
You know, I'm cool on that vaccination though, mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
And I feel like no one's getting the COVID vaccination
shot either. Okay, people still getting covid though, yes they are.
Goldman Sachs has quietly shut down their diversity investment program
is called Launch with GS Goldman Sachs. They claimed that
they met their one billion dollar pledge that was to
fund companies led by women and by people of color.
(20:08):
They started back in twenty eighteen. You know, it's interesting
they made this pledge and they said that they wouldn't
help companies go public without at least one diverse director
on their boards. And they also cited a financial case
for these decisions. They said companies with at least one
diverse board member performed better after listing, and so the
goal was to generate strong investment returns. And they said
(20:31):
they crossed a big milestone in June of twenty twenty
three and that they met their commitment to invest one
billion dollars in diverse led companies. But there was no
announcement at that time that they actually achieved that. And
I'm not quite sure of all the companies that they
invested in to get this, but they said recipients of
(20:52):
that launch with GS supported investments include Bento, Box, Billy Burse,
Oral Care, and Least, as well as the funds Construct Capital,
Defined Ventors, and mac Ventor Capital. I just feel like
a lot of companies are stepping back from making sure
that they are investing in diversity.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yeah, because I feel like it was really popular.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
During a period of time and then now that they've
made these huge press releases and announcements and put in
a little money, now people are like, Okay, I'm not
doing it anymore.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Yeah, they fell back from the.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Yeah, so that was it was.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
It was called launch with GS launch right, but when
it was hiring DEI diversity equity inclusion.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
But in the nineties, what was the word for it though?
What was the phrase? What I forgot?
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Like affirmative action they still call it, and they're getting
rid of affirmative action too, and colleges. You know, there's
a lot and I just think that, like they said,
it proves that when you have a diverse staff and
when you have diverse leadership, companies do perform better.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
So all right, well that is you're under the radar.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
And you know, we got the Way coming at the
top of the hour, plus ask Yee is on the

He could have came a little a little better than that, right,

It was like a little shot subliminal. Maybe he would
do that on his own music, and maybe he had,
maybe maybe he got something or maybe Kay Cuddy was like,
I don't really want to put that up because sometimes
you know, if you're on somebody else's song, right.

My secret is that I've been dating for over three years,
but lately I've been feeling like I want to break
up with her. It's really because she won't get her together.
She's in her fifth year of college. Because she failed
several classes and now she's talking about it. She can't
find a job after she graduates. So that's my secret
(32:17):
is I've been thinking about any things and I really
don't know how to tell her.
