Selling no E I wonder what actually happened, but I
guess we'll find out as something.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
If she was selling something else, then maybe okay. You know.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Now another thing that she talked about, because she was
in the midst of dealing with that. When JT put
out her single Okay, a lot of people were saying
that she was talking about taking shots at Cardi B
on the song, but some people were also saying, Suki Hannah,
and that's because Suki Hannah at one point had actually
cracked her tooth on what.

Speaker 4 (05:40):
Is it on crablegs? You know I don't need.

Speaker 2 (05:42):

Speaker 2 (06:02):
We Suki Hina does not think that JT is referencing her.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
Here's what she said. I was locked up when the
song came out.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
I'll come home. I look at my foot.

Speaker 11 (06:09):
Everybody keep tagging me, They keep tagging. They said JT
was trying to diss me. Now we all know I

But I don't talk about I was at j t
burket party, was the hugs and Google, So I don't
feel like you're talking about me. And I don't take
her as the girl that just start trouble with random people.
When she dropping the song. JT just cleared up, clear,
clear it up.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
I want to ask, is that a really common thing
that people eat crab blaz and crack their teeth?

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Now, I mean you can crack your cheap venias or
anything on gum.

Speaker 4 (06:37):
Oh, that's true. You could be no.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
Matter what it is on some rice.

Speaker 2 (06:42):

I'm always nervous that i'd be like, I'm so.

Speaker 9 (06:48):
Scared cheap stink venaias the ones that's big and stink.

Speaker 2 (06:53):

developing film and TV sound stages in Houston. He's converting
a vacant warehouse into two film and TV sound stages
and he also has the second largest black owned film
studio in Shreveport, Louisiana at the same time.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
So that's dope.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
That's really dope.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
Yeah, to be moving things.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
What it does is it makes it so that people
don't got to go to Hollywood to get things done.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
And it brings a lot of jobs. Yeah, same thing.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
All right, we'd love to see it. And that is
your yut. And when we come back, we have about
last night. That's where we discussed what we did last night.
You're finally back.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
You were flight last night.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
I definitely want to hear about your trip to La
seeing family. You show me some really nice pictures. We'll
discuss it. It's so nice to actually see people that
in your family that maybe you haven't seen in a while,
and to see pictures you may have never seen before.
You got some good throwback thursdays this week. All right,
it's way up. About last night? Is next all the

in La. I just want you to talk about your Yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
Was in La.

Speaker 9 (08:16):
I went to La to go to a formal for
my daughter's school. All right, So you know she helped
in schools in Calabasas. And yeah, she didn't want to
dance with me, but uh, you know, you know how
it is. She gets all crazy with me.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
No, I don't want to dance.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
This is social suicide, you know.

Speaker 9 (08:34):
But then I went to see some family that I
haven't seen in years, like my aunt, my cousins, I
haven't seen them in years, and you know, they live
in LA. I'm in and out of LA all the time,
but I never take time to go see them. So
I say, you know what, I'm gonna do something different.
I'm gonna take my daughter to meet them. And I
went over there, and yeah, it was. It was really good.
My uncle was there and I seen some pictures that

(08:56):
I haven't never seen pictures of my my my parents.

Speaker 4 (09:01):
That's so nice.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
Like they was dancing and he was hanging out like
it was like.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
Wow, it's like they was in love for real.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Absolutely absolutely Dad definitely looking like you're at your mom,
like I love.

Speaker 5 (09:14):
This one right.

Speaker 9 (09:15):
But then it was bugged out because in one picture
he got his clothes on and another picture got a
shirt off.

Speaker 4 (09:20):
Like he was just like you just like.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
Oh wow. Yeah, So it was. It was really good though.

Speaker 9 (09:31):
It was good to see my family because I haven't
I haven't really been taking time out.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
We all got to take time to do that.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
It made me think because I've been like doing so
much right now, I haven't even had time, right you know,
and I've been doing my real estate thing, and one
thing I'm doing is working on listing the family of
family house, a property that they have between my dad
and all his brothers and sisters. So that is a
good way for me to always be on the email chain,

(09:56):
but to see people.

Speaker 9 (09:58):
Different different though you can and you know, speak to
them on text or even social media, but to actually
see them as a whole, whole.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
Nother ball game.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Well, I've been looking at some old pictures too, and
this is all because I'm in the process of like
trying to move, trying to throw things away, and Dan,
my producer here, has accused me of being a hoarder.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
You don't throw nothing away.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
I do, so like what I feel like, I'm constantly
throwing things away, but I have so much stuff that accumulates.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
That's what the problem is.

Speaker 9 (10:23):
Said, you still got your second grade third grade trophies?

Speaker 4 (10:27):
Well, why would I throw that out?

Speaker 3 (10:29):
Put that somewhere?

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Why would I throw that away? Like you got to
put you throw trophies away.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
I don't have any trophies.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Oh I'll give you one, but yeah, anyway, I want
to know what you guys think about this.

Speaker 4 (10:42):
You know, Hoarders is back for season fifteen.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
They said that you're going to be on one of
those episodes.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
But I would tell you, just like you get certain
things from your parents, My parents are definitely hordes. And
we'll talk about it. But I want to know from
you guys. Do you think that you're a hoarder? And
what is a definition? I need some help when it
comes to organizing and figuring out what I can and
can't throw out. So are there things that you feel
like you have to keep no matter what? All right,
we're talking about hoarding eight hundred two nine two fifty

(11:10):
one fifty. Don't forget the d when we say hoarding
eight hundred two nine two fifty one fifty, its way up.

Speaker 7 (11:16):
Cool. You are a media maven, right.

Speaker 4 (11:19):
You never know what and is gonna say say ooh,
that's a fact.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
It's a way, that's a fact.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
I'm Herematos here and we're talking about hoarding. I'm getting
so many people texting me about their hoarding issues right now.
And I was told I was a hoarder because I
keep a lot of things and sometimes it is hard
for me to throw stuff out. I'm trying to get
better at it, but I will say this, I do
keep everything really clean.

Speaker 4 (11:47):
But I have so much stuff. That's the problem.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
You got paperwork and all that, right, you a paperwork.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
I shredded a lot of stuff and so I have
like four huge bags of shredded papers. You want to
keep the shreds well, no, I have to wait for
recycling it outside and so that's all so it will
be outside.

Speaker 4 (12:05):
Should redd it up. But I know you're a hoarder
because you never wear the same thing twice.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
I'm a money hoarder. I like the I like the
hord debt.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Well you should invest, I think, yes. Anyway, we want
to know your stories. Eight hundred two nine fifty one
fifty rows.

Speaker 4 (12:19):
Are you a hoarder?

Speaker 10 (12:21):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (12:22):

until it's like non usable and then.

Speaker 13 (12:34):
Just be like wow, oh I'll just.

Speaker 12 (12:36):
Bleach it and save it for later. And then my clothes,
I'll uh say, I'm gonna go get rid of them
and go put them in my storage unit.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
So is your is your house able to walk through?

Speaker 12 (12:46):
It is now that my husband made me get rid
of stuff, but not my storage unit. We have now
two storage units.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
Full of clothes, like you do you right?

Speaker 13 (12:57):
Do you wear them?

Speaker 14 (12:58):
Probably like two bads, So I keep all of them
if you're not wearing them, she's a horder.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
No, but we're gonna get down to the bottom of it.

Speaker 12 (13:06):
You know, one day Mike child might be able to wear.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Right, nobody want those old clothes.

Speaker 10 (13:15):
Come on, some of them still have tax on them.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
Oh god, but you know other people can use those
clothes right now.

Speaker 4 (13:22):
Yeah, you could donate them to.

Speaker 14 (13:24):
Because that's what my sister told me, was to donate them.
Are you going to No, I was planning on it,
but you know, I get there and then that's why
they're toash bags.

Speaker 12 (13:37):
They're folded, they're clean.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
I wonder what needs to happen to we We might
need to do an intervention, right right.

Speaker 9 (13:45):
Get rid of those clothes though you don't need them.
Somebody less fortunate can use those clothes right now.

Speaker 4 (13:50):
Well, good luck, ros I hope you get to the
bottom of it.

Speaker 10 (13:53):
Thank you.

Speaker 4 (13:55):
She's gonna go right back and buy some more stuff.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
And not get rid of the stuff that she got.

Speaker 4 (13:59):
Hey, Terrence, what's good?

Speaker 3 (14:01):
Hey?

Speaker 13 (14:01):
Yes, I want to respond to the hoarding question. I'm
a order, I'm in my late fifties, and I just
don't see the need to throw anything the way that
you might be able to use.

Speaker 5 (14:12):
Again, what do you can't discussed?

Speaker 13 (14:16):
We remodeled the house, and I kept the lights that
I took off the off of the house, and I
kept a whole lot of panel and the stuff from
the inside.

Speaker 4 (14:26):
What are you going to do with it?

Speaker 13 (14:28):
I don't know yet.

Speaker 4 (14:30):
You're gonna build another house?

Speaker 3 (14:34):
You kept the lights still good?

Speaker 13 (14:37):
I can get us.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Do you feel like you have like a ridiculous amount
of things that you should get rid of.

Speaker 13 (14:43):
I have some stuff that I know need to go.
I've got some old CDs. I've got some plywood from
when I did the whole wood. Yeah, I've got the
old stereo equipment.

Speaker 7 (14:56):
I give up, you know, money on stuff, so I never.

Speaker 13 (15:00):
Get rid of it yet. I sometimes they do that,
but right now I just think resourcefulness.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
Okay, well, thank you for calling.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
I do want to say, even if you spend money
on something, if it has no value, now, there's no point.

Speaker 9 (15:12):
In case what I'm saying. But he still feels like
it could be used for something that's you.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
Know, it's more valuable space. All right, well listen, at
least I'm not alone. I don't feel so bad after
hearing this.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
The fact that you're going to be on that new
season is crazy.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
Oh I'm not all right? Well that is are you
a hoarder?

Speaker 2 (15:28):
And you can always call us up eight hundred and
two ninety two fifty one fifty or you can go
on the app and click that microphone and leave a
message that way so we could play it during the
last word and when we come back, we have your
ye eat and let's talk about Chris Brown. He was
on the R and B Money podcast and he talked
about somebody can I say fingering.

Speaker 4 (15:48):
The Well, we'll tell you about this story. Its way up.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
They play in the rooms.

Speaker 6 (15:54):
From industry shade to all of gossip out Angelus feeling
that yet.

Speaker 4 (16:00):
It's way up. I'm in the building, Mayo's in the building.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Let's get into some uti and we really talk about
these stories like this one right here.

Speaker 4 (16:08):
I love now.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
Ethan Hawk was on Who's Talking to Chris Wallace on
Max and he was asked about a story he heard
about Denzel Washington when it came to the movie Training
Day and Ethan Hawk lost the Oscar for that movie.

Speaker 4 (16:20):
Here's what he said.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
And I heard a story that at the ceremony, just
after your category is announced and you haven't won, that
he whispers. He's singing next to you, and he whispers
into your ear. It's better that you didn't win.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
Losing was better.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
You don't want an award to improve your status. You
want to improve the awards status.

Speaker 7 (16:43):
That's the way he thinks.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
But I still want it.

Speaker 4 (16:48):
They would have liked to win.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
But that's dope because sometimes when people get award, you
be feeling like, man, the wards won't mean nothing. But
then when somebody has elevated the status of that, you're like,
they deserve that. I understand, you know, so I get it.
And that's a great thing to say to somebody, you know.
We were just talking about, Yeah, some of our favorite
Denzel movies, I mean classic movies that he had said.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
Your favorite one is he got Gang just said.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
That, let's tell you the one that I like. You
probably won't like. This one was so sad though. Of Fences,
oh my god, that was a territoryker for real. Antoine
Fisher we talked about that was a great movie. Also,
I mean, he's had so many amazing roles in movies,
Malcolm X, but Training Day was phenomenal and dance at

(17:37):
American gangs like yeah, you like John Q.

Speaker 4 (17:40):
All right, well, let's get into Chris Brown.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
He was on the R and B Money podcast and
he was telling a story about without naming names. Right,
they tell a story without revealing who the story is about.
And he was talking about somebody and I'll tell you
who you think it is afterward. Right, Okay, here's what
he had to say.

Speaker 15 (18:03):
I look up that it's on the DJ booth right
next to the artist that's doing the song.

Speaker 3 (18:09):
When the song goes.

Speaker 15 (18:10):
Off, it takes the mic, it goes on a forty
five minute Rent, I'm talking about saying all of everything
that about nothing.

Speaker 7 (18:17):
The last thing I hear such and such ain't stick.

Speaker 4 (18:19):
They finging my up.

Speaker 7 (18:21):
I don't even play that way.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
Now.

Speaker 4 (18:24):
I was trying to figure out, Wow, you know immediately
who I thought it was.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
I think you felt like it was Kanye.

Speaker 4 (18:30):
Yeah, And a lot of people think it was Kanye
because remember Amber Rose said that about you.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
You said that, yeah, you know really.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
Yeah, So that's what a lot of people also believe
that it's about.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
It's probably, it's probably it probably will all right.

Speaker 8 (18:43):
Now.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
In addition that, he also talked about his best decision,
well not best decision, but one decision that he made
financially when he was only seventeen years old.

Speaker 4 (18:53):
Here's what he did.

Speaker 15 (18:54):
I was seventeen when I started trying to invest in
certain things, just because I knew, like, you don't know
how how long you're gonna be. And I would have, like,
you know, the business people around me at the time.
You know, my investments were like into Burger Kings and
stuff like that, just so I could have a portfolio
and constant income.

Speaker 4 (19:09):
All right.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
So he did end up having a conscious tum for
income because of Burger King, and he negotiated a fifty
to fifty profits split deal with Jive before it got
absorbed into RCA Records, And so by twenty eight years old,
he got all his ownership over his master recordings from
his album Fame and Onward. And so he had told
us Weekly back in twenty fifteen that he owned fourteen

(19:30):
Burger King restaurants.

Speaker 4 (19:32):
So that's a big deal.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
He was trying to buy those Popeyes too, Remember he
was doing Popeyes. You want you know what we should
get some popeyes right now.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
No, let me do that.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Listen, everybody in the room perked up. I'm gonna order
some popeyes all right 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.
You were just in LA, so was I. I'm gonna
tell you why LA isn't under the radar.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
It's way up.

Speaker 6 (19:57):
I got news this in the news that relates to you.
These stories are flying under the radar.

Speaker 4 (20:02):
All right.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
It's way up on Angela yee and Mayno's and ability ye.

Speaker 4 (20:07):
Let's get into these under the radar stories.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
This one is very important, okay, because today is the
deadline for student loan cancelation. So some student loan borrowers
have another opportunity to have all or some of their
students debt canceled by consolidating their federal loans. This has
to be done by today, So if you need more
information about that, you can go to studentaid dot gov.

(20:30):
But I just want to give you all that information
because today is a deadline to consolidate and possibly get
a one time adjustment. Borrowers with federal loans automatically qualify
for the adjustment. If you want to have a chance
at this cancelation, you have to consolidate them if you
have commercially held federal Family Education loans, Parent plus loans,
Perkins loans, Health Education Assistance Loan Program loans.

Speaker 4 (20:52):
So there you go.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
All right, Los Angeles is number one in bad air quality.
You just got back from there. Bet I just got
back from there as well. A new report shows that
residents that live in LA and Long Beach are breathing
the unhealthiest air in the country, according to the American
Lung Association. Yes, that is the State of the Air report.
The top five US cities polluted by ground level ozone

(21:14):
air pollution. Four of those are located in southern and
central California, and LA is leading the pack. The fifth
one is the Phoenix Messa metro area in Arizona bought
New York. LA's always had issues with their air quality.
And then the five cities with the cleanest air Honolulu,

(21:35):
Johnson City, Tennessee, Lincoln, Nebraska, Bangor, Maine, and Wilmington, North Carolina.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
North Carolina.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
All right, that is you're under the radar, now, you know,
we got the way it mix at the top of
the hour. Hopefully some new manos in there because you
have a new project that came out.

Speaker 4 (21:52):
I know that's right from Tona.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
We have the trainer akeem Emmon's joining us with an
amazing story about how he got fit. All right, it's
way up from the volume up, y'all be way up

about little ended up make gonna wanna look like a saint.

Speaker 8 (25:33):
This Saint's been about critics, not about gimmicks, not about
who the greatest says.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
So it's been about loving hate.

Speaker 8 (25:38):
Now let me say I'm the biggest hater. I hate
the way that you walk, the way that you talk,
I hate the way that you dress. I hate the
way that you sneak this.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
If I test flight, it's gonna beat direct. We hate them.

Speaker 8 (25:48):
You up because they confused themselves with real women. And
then notice how saying we it's not just me, I'm
what the cult you're feeling? How many more fairy tale
stories about your life till we had enough? How many
more black features to your funny feel that you're black enough?
I like Drake with the melody. Don't like Drake when

Surprise you wanted defeature request. You know that we guess
the issue to address. I even hate when you say

Speaker 1 (26:44):
But that's just me. I guess some issue just cringe worthy.
He ain't even gotta be deep. I guess you still
love when you see success. Everything when me is best,
keep making me dance, wave on my hand.

Speaker 8 (26:54):
And there won't be no thread. I'm knowing they call
you the boy, But where is a man? Because I
ain't seen him yet. Matter of fact, I ain't even
bleed them yet. Can I bleed them?

Speaker 1 (27:02):

That said Shure, I got a sung on the raise,
but I could see you don't know nothing about that, waking.

Speaker 1 (27:30):

Know nothing about dies and kill them them tools to
walk through life like ten by ten.

Speaker 8 (27:35):

Pick it out in off one net of time with it.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
All right? It the way yo?

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Mane may no, yeah, mandelay maos Hey, we're talking about
Kendrick Lamar versus Drake Kenjick just put out his euphoria check.
We know it's him because he put it out from
his Twitter page. He tweeted it out and so with
the link. So it's on YouTube right now and it
is going crazy right now. Kendrick is trending. So we
just played the full six and a half minute song

(29:21):
for you guys. He clearly don't like the way that
Drake uses the N word. It starts off with.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
One slower, jazzy type of beat.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
All right, calls Drake not a rap artist, but a
scam artist, and he says, don't tell no lie about me,
and I won't tell no truth about you, and then
we get into it. Apparently Kendrick hates everything about Drake
and he's a real hater.

Speaker 4 (29:43):
Here's what he had to say.

Speaker 8 (29:44):
This thing's been a boat critics, not a folk gimmicks,
not a boat who's the greatest And so it's been
a boat loving hate. Now, let me say I'm the
biggest hater. I hate the way that you walk, the
way that you talk, I hate the way that you dress.
I hate the way that you sneak.

Speaker 13 (29:56):
This.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
If I chest flight, it's gonna beat the rick.

Speaker 8 (29:58):
We hate these. State confused himself with real women. And
then notice I said we.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
It's not just me.

Speaker 8 (30:03):
I'm with the culture feeling. How many more fairy tale
stories bout of life to me?

Speaker 1 (30:07):
Had enough?

Speaker 8 (30:08):
How many more black features to your funny field? That
you're black enough? I like Drake with the melody. Don't
like Drake when he acts.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
Up all right?

Speaker 1 (30:17):
Now?

Speaker 2 (30:17):
In addition to that, you know, of course, Jake put
out the push up songs, and he referenced top Dog
all throughout that song. Well, Ken, Jake is like, come on,
top Dog, now, let's talk about what happens when people
hop off that plane in LA and get extorted.

Speaker 8 (30:31):
Here's what he said, remember a top dog? Else what
they think they playing with? Extortional my middle name? As
soon as you jump off for that plane, I'm allergic
to the langua issue.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
Only you like being famous, y'all. He can't g you
no swag neither. I don't give a who.

Speaker 4 (30:45):
You're hanging with all right now.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
In addition to that, he also discusses Drake hanging out
with Sexy Red all the time because you know they
super cool.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
When I see you stand by Sexy Red, I believe
you see two bad fish. I believe you don't like women.
It's real competition. Pop pass with him. Let's speak on
percentage Fix. I'll make sure how to double back with you.
You assigned Twitter? Isn't that signed Twitter? And that said
he was signed to a VET though they try to
see sent assists on I like that record? What you
ain't like that record? Back to back? I like that record?

Speaker 4 (31:14):
All right?

Speaker 2 (31:14):
So apparently Drake tried to do a cease and desist
when the song like that came out, according to to
this song Euphoria, And in addition to that, he don't
have time to get dirt on Drake because guess what,
he got a son to raise.

Speaker 4 (31:26):
Here's what he had to say.

Speaker 8 (31:28):
Why would I call around trying to get tirt on Jakes?
Trying to think of my life as rap? So she
wants I got a song on the Raise, But I
could see you don't know nothing about did waking them up,
no nothing about die and tell them to pray. You
know nothing about di and give him them tools to
walk through life like day by day. Know nothing about that,
teaching no morals and take a d disciplined Listen, man,
you don't know nothing about that speaking the truth and
consider what God's considering.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
You don't know nothing about that. Ain't twenty V one?
This one v twenty if I got a smack into that,
right with you?

Speaker 4 (31:52):
All right?

Speaker 2 (31:53):
So, in other words, he's saying, this is me versus
twenty people because Drake has that many writers, and so
call it.

Speaker 4 (32:00):
Yeah, that's for everybody listening. You know, that's what he said. Now,
may know what's your thoughts.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
I don't love it.

Speaker 4 (32:07):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
The more I listen to it, the more more you
hear it.

Speaker 13 (32:10):
I hear it.

Speaker 3 (32:11):
I hear the lines he's talking. He talking.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
But because the first time you heard it, you were
like eh, But then we played it back three times
and you were like, Okay, I heard that.

Speaker 3 (32:19):
Okay, Yeah, I'm starting to hear lines. But I still
don't think it was better than than Drake. But I
know a lot of people better than push Ups.

Speaker 4 (32:27):
Not the tailor maitries.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
Okay, right, pushups. I like push ups a lot more, all.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
Right, and we waited for this and we are going
to play push ups for you guys. So y'all can listen.
You just heard Euphoria. You're gonna hear push ups right now,
and then we want you to call in. We're doing
a poll right now. Who do you think is winning
this rap beef?

Speaker 4 (32:43):
All right?

Speaker 2 (32:43):
Is it Kendrick or is it Drake? Eight hundred two
nine fifty one fifty Right now, let's hear push ups.
This is the first disc that Drake did about Kendrick
Lamars way up.

Speaker 6 (32:54):
It's not just right or wrong. It's about what you believe.
It's time to pick.

Speaker 4 (32:58):
Aside there, all right, it's way up on Angela.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
Yee.

Speaker 4 (33:03):
It's trying to pick a side. Who do you think
is winning this rap battle?

Speaker 10 (33:06):
Maino?

Speaker 2 (33:06):
Is it Kendrick or is it Drake? We know Kenjrick
just put out Euphoria. Yeah yeah, okay.

Speaker 9 (33:12):
I'm feeling like Drake is still up because from one
I feel like he didn't even deliver a whole dish
track towards Kendrick yet. The first push ups was to
like twenty different about the tailor may free style May
was just trolling like that wasn't I don't think that
that was an offish you dis record, And like I said,
I knew that the Tupaca State wasn't gonna be happy

(33:33):
with that either. With Tupac, he had to take it down, right, Yes,
he did take it down.

Speaker 4 (33:38):
All right.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
Well, I'm gonna say I think that the more you
listen to Kenchrick, because it is over six minutes he was,
the more things that you're gonna hear.

Speaker 3 (33:45):
When he's talking.

Speaker 4 (33:46):
Yeah, he talks about you know, Drake's ebbs.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
He talks about the season desist but like that, he
talks about you know, he does a Canadian accent.

Speaker 3 (33:55):
He has a lot of different things in that It's fair.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
He talks about sexy Red. He said, as they're both bad,
but that's the best line to me. Okay, you like
that one.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (34:04):
He also references YNW Melly in it.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
Oh, and I want to say I saw that j

golden brown wing loll dropped that nword in that grease

easier to consume. But prunch is hit a little bit harder,
and he felt a lot inter that.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
I put up a poll, and right now Kendrick is
beating Drake sixty eight point one to thirty one point nine.

Speaker 4 (36:29):
According to this poll, right now.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
Okay, all right, yeah, we know you do. All right,
thank you for calling. I'm gonna say this, you know, man,
and we just did and this is people just calling in. Yeah, listen, man,
but you know what I will say, It did take
Kenjack a while to respond. And sometimes what you hear
right now overpowers push ups that came.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
That's what it is hearing it now.

Speaker 4 (36:52):
But I you know, I got to get Kenjack Lamari's
props with that one.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
I do.

Speaker 9 (36:56):
I like it from nobody. I just think it's cool.
I don't think it's crazy. I don't think it's the
greatest this song ever. I thought he was going to
be harder than that.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
I feel like you said a lot, but I also
feel like there's more to come, you know, I hope.
So let me show you what I'm about to do
and then let me do the real do all right, Well,
listen you guys, thank you for calling.

Speaker 4 (37:17):
I know there's going to be a lot more happening.

Speaker 2 (37:18):
And since we're talking about dropping and giving fifty push ups,
let's talk to akem Emmons. He is a Tonal coach,
but he also went through a lot to get to
where he is. Right now, we'll discuss it. We're getting
our summer bodies ready. It's way up.

Speaker 7 (37:31):
This is way up with Angela, let's go.

Speaker 8 (37:34):
You are a media maven, right, you never know what
AND's gonna say.

Speaker 4 (37:39):
What's up? It's way up with Angela. Yee, I'm Angela yee.
Oh my gush.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
And I feel like there's some accountability coming today. Aqim
Emmons is here having me. Thank you for coming here.
And the other day I was in an event for
Tonal and you'll explain all of that. But you're a
strength coach for Tonal. By the way, strength training is
like my weakness when it comes to I do cardio
all day, but strength corp all of that is really

(38:04):
tough for me. But I'm glad you're here because everybody
right now is trying to get their summer body ready
just the season. And you have such an interesting story
about how you even got into this space. Yes, but
you went through a lot, right, So I would love
for you to just give our audience your backstory on
what made you get into this space of fitness.

Speaker 16 (38:21):
So the origin of the story was actually getting hit
by a car crossing the street. This woman was speeding
down the block and it kind of obstructed both of
our visions because a column was blocking and so I
stepped into the street and by the time we made
eye contact before it even happened and she hit me
flepp in the air now just landed on the floor.
I was in a state of shock, passed out onto
the floor. The ambulance came. But that leads to me

(38:44):
being unable to walk for three months.

Speaker 5 (38:47):
Wow, and I lost everything at that time. You know,
you're young. I had a car, I had an apartment.

Speaker 16 (38:51):
I'm an adult at this time, and everything just flipped
through my fingers because I couldn't go to work, so
I had to move in with my mom, had to
go to pt and the little things that I would
take for granted, like these banded exercises, you know, this
electro therapy work. You know, like the little things that
exercise you'll see people do and just kind of undermine
them with the things that got me back on my

(39:11):
feet literally and figuratively. I mean, we talked about the
origin story. My first race was against my dad. So
I'm running with something I love to do my entire
life and not being able to do so.

Speaker 4 (39:20):
And you're from Trinidad, by the way, come on. Now
we got to make sure you know SOCA music level, yes, and.

Speaker 5 (39:27):
Come on, just passed and uh yeah.

Speaker 16 (39:30):
So just having a gift of walking and running taking
away from you just really shifted my perspective. So my
face was messed up, my body didn't. I didn't feel
confident in the skin I was in, and it definitely
took a toll on my self esteem. So after time
had gone by and I had healed up, I just
fell in love with movement again.

Speaker 2 (39:48):
Right now, we have Tonal coach Keim Emmon's here. At
that time you had to go in and literally like
learn how to walk again. All right, So now let's
talk about the positive side.

Speaker 5 (39:58):
Talk about some good stuff. Come on, let's like to move.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
Because you're alive, So that is I think really the
main thing is that, yes, it was a lot of
I'm sure our struggles mentally, financially, physically, but thank god
you were alive at the end of all. I know,
every day you had to be like thanking God because
it could have went a whole other way, you know.
All right, So then you started deciding that you were

(40:24):
going to take after doing PT five days a week,
take this seriously, when did that come into your head,
like when did that click?

Speaker 16 (40:31):
So after I was back on my feet, went back
to work, I'm in the restaurant and I just didn't
feel happy there anymore. It just no longer was fulfilling,
and I literally switched my schedule to start to train.
And that was again another chapter of the journey.

Speaker 4 (40:47):
Right now, we're talking to akem Emmons.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
He's a Tonal coach and you know, previously he was
a track and field athlete, but before that he was
hit by a speeding driver and couldn't walk for months. Okay,
so this is an amazing story. After physical therapy, he
is now a coach for TONO. We have more with
him when we come back.

Speaker 7 (41:04):
It's way up is way up with Angela Ye, let's go.

Speaker 15 (41:07):
You are a media maven, right, you never know what
Angel's gonna say.

Speaker 4 (41:12):
What's up?

Speaker 2 (41:12):
Is way up with Angela Yee? I'm Angela Yee. And
Aquem Emmons is here. He's a Tonal coach. He's a
certified personal trainer. Talk to us about what Tonal is
and how you got involved.

Speaker 16 (41:21):
Oh good, So, Phinnis has been a part of my
life for over a decade now, and digital fitness is
I say it's still relatively new for those who are unfamiliar.
Just imagine a tablet on your wall which has two
arms on the sides, with over two hundred and seventy
five exercises plus with the bench, and the possibilities are endless.

Speaker 5 (41:40):
So it's a small tablet.

Speaker 16 (41:41):
All you need is about six feet by six feet
of space to complete all of the exercises comfortably, and
you have a library of on demand classes.

Speaker 4 (41:50):
We've seen Lebron doing this right now.

Speaker 5 (41:53):
Lebron's on point. Here's what time it is.

Speaker 2 (41:54):
And the good thing about it too is that timing wise,
you know how sometimes you might be like I only
got fifteen minutes to work out today. You can choose
whatever time, whatever you want to focus on. It will
all customize to whatever it is that you feel like
you want to focus on within yourself with.

Speaker 16 (42:08):
Fitness, convenience breeds consistency. This thing lives in your apartment,
so there's no commute, and again you could just type
in or filter through the classes. We have classes that
range from fifteen minutes all the way to an hour plus.

Speaker 4 (42:20):
It's also great you really can't hang your laundry on
it like you can on a trip mill, so it
won't end up dry your clothes.

Speaker 5 (42:26):
It won't become a hanger.

Speaker 16 (42:27):
No, this will This is very sexy, it's very aesthetic,
it's very beautiful, and you're going to be attracted to
use it on a consistent basis.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
Right now, we have Tonal coach a Keem Emmons here.
Clearly you love strength training.

Speaker 5 (42:40):
What do you not like to do?

Speaker 4 (42:42):
If you got to say your least favorite thing to
do when you work out is.

Speaker 5 (42:45):
I'm being honest, yes, and I hate doing core. Yeah,
anything with core that burn and the belly that I
just I can never get used to it.

Speaker 8 (42:55):
That I know.

Speaker 16 (42:55):
I know, right because it comes with a six pack.
But the thing with core is that you can train
your core without having.

Speaker 5 (43:01):
To isolate it.

Speaker 2 (43:02):
For some reason, I thought you were going to say cardio,
because I feel like people who love strength training don't
like cardio and vice versa. Like I love cardio, but
I know a lot of people who love cardio also
are like, oh, I.

Speaker 4 (43:11):
Don't want to have to do strength training.

Speaker 16 (43:12):
Yeah, well that's personally when I feel like the anomaly
I started off as a runner and then turned into it.

Speaker 7 (43:16):
I know, if it was the inverse now do you
still run?

Speaker 2 (43:19):
You know a lot of people talk about how running
is really tough on your knees, on your bones, on
your ankles.

Speaker 4 (43:25):
What about you?

Speaker 16 (43:26):
I think anything in excess and you definitely have to
listen to your body. I personally am a sprinter, so
I'm doing really short bursts.

Speaker 4 (43:33):
Of intervals now isn't worthwhile.

Speaker 2 (43:35):
Let's just say you don't have a lot of time
to work out, but to do like a ten minute
workout or is it like, let me just wait until
I have at least forty minutes.

Speaker 16 (43:45):
Listen, if you only have ten minutes, do do the
ten minutes? A little bit of something, It's better than
a lot of nothing. It's real, easer.

Speaker 5 (43:55):
I don't got this and you better stop it.

Speaker 16 (43:56):
Even with mobility, because as we age, our body changes,
and I think mobility is one of the first things
to go. A ten minute stretch routine or yoga routine
found on tonal, it's gonna be a world of bit difference.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
All right, Well, Aqim, how can people find you? And
if they want to also get tonal or go on
there and find you on there? Let us know how
we can find you both on social media and on tonal.

Speaker 5 (44:17):
Well like coming to America. My name is Akim.

Speaker 16 (44:19):
You spell it with a c aka oct on stop
and that is my tagline, dnt STP. Once you start,
don't stop, and that's where you can find me.

Speaker 2 (44:27):
All right, Well, thank you so much for joining us.
I appreciate you so much. All Right, I'm gonna check
back in. I feel like i have some accountability.

Speaker 5 (44:34):
Yeah, someone, let's go for a run and then do
some strength training right after. Sounds good.

Speaker 4 (44:39):
I don't have on the right sneakers, but next time.

Speaker 2 (44:41):
All right, if you want to watch that food interview,
you can go to my YouTube channel Way Up with Ye,
And when we come back, you guys have the last word.

Speaker 8 (44:51):
Pack up the phone, tap you in to get your
voice heard with the word bitch.

Speaker 7 (44:57):
Here is the last word on Way Up with Angela.

Speaker 1 (44:59):
Ye.

Speaker 4 (45:00):
What's up his way up at Angela? Yeah, I'm Angela.

Speaker 1 (45:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (45:02):
Mano is here, Yeah is very active.

Speaker 3 (45:05):
Yeah, man, I can't wait for your disrecord to come out.

Speaker 4 (45:07):
I already got the name of the song I'm gonna
do against.

Speaker 3 (45:09):
You, social suicide.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
It's called social suicide, all right, and then the subtitle
is gonna be Brooklyn, New Jersey because that's where you're from.
You're not from Brooklyn, New York. But anyway, you know,
shout out to Kendrick Lamar, shout out to Drake. The
two of them have been going back and forth, and
this feels like something that is really gonna be just.

Speaker 3 (45:29):
A rap battle.

Speaker 1 (45:30):
No it is.

Speaker 3 (45:30):
It's just it's all in the sport. It's all in
the game.

Speaker 7 (45:33):
I like it.

Speaker 9 (45:33):
Competition, I love it. So let's keep it going. I
think Drake is gonna drop soon, and then Kendrick gonna
come back and then till it's over.

Speaker 3 (45:40):
So let's let's get it.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
Yeah, maybe Ja Cole would jump back in. No, okay,
he already jumped out. It's like double Dutch in and out.

Speaker 4 (45:51):
All right.

Speaker 2 (45:51):
Well again, Also, thank you to akem Emma's for joining us.
He's a tonal coach. He's got an amazing story and
I love that. You know, we're getting ready for the
sum I know you have your fit lit going on.

Speaker 1 (46:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (46:02):
Also, Mano had to project out a seven.

Speaker 3 (46:05):
Pack seven pack ep this life forever.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
Even though you're trying to change. So people have been
hitting me up too. They're like, yo, Mano, is that
easy to get a date with mano. All I gotta
do is call up there. So a lot of women
have been hitting out.

Speaker 3 (46:17):
Know what's going on. What we're doing is we're gonna
find love for me or what.

Speaker 2 (46:20):
All right, we're gonna figure this out. We're gonna figure
this out, and then I'm gonna do another dis song.
All right, But anyway, I'm going the same time as
for Carnival. I'm just gonna let y'all know. If some
dis records come out, I'll talk about it on Monday.
But anyway, Yeah, I have a great rest of your day,
and I know a lot of this last word is
gonna be about this battle.

Speaker 13 (46:39):
Kendrick is like home called filmignon versus a fish sandwich
from Burger King. And so my point is he's a
higher order rapper, meaning he's gonna appeal to your inteller person.

Speaker 10 (46:50):
So you're gonna have to dissect and break down everything
that he does.

Speaker 13 (46:53):
Listen to the beat, a little bit of humor and
so forth. Where are the other one? It's more sing song?

Speaker 10 (46:59):
Is ab he is?

Speaker 8 (47:00):
One?

Speaker 1 (47:00):
Or three?

Speaker 10 (47:01):
Is time?

Speaker 13 (47:01):
Vis going with Drake all day? Nana must be on
Drake's payroll because if he felt like Kendrick didn't come
hard enough. He must have wanted Kendrick to literally go murder.

Speaker 11 (47:14):
Hello, Angela Yee.

Speaker 8 (47:15):
I just want to tell you congratulations and thank you
for doing what you're doing.

Speaker 10 (47:19):
Keep doing what you do, and God bless you.

Speaker 6 (47:21):
I just love it going way out with Angela Yee
