got on your mob deep hoodie today.

Speaker 6 (00:24):
Absolutely represented for the killers. One hundred dollars billis okay?

Speaker 3 (00:27):

Speaker 5 (00:31):
I was about to receive cite some mob deep lyrics
and I was like, we can't say that, can say that?

Speaker 3 (00:36):
My favorite my deep song was I for an Eye Classic, Man,
that's a classic.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
He's still shining anything also from the Infamous.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
So what about the album before that hit it from?
I can't say that. I know, I forget it all right.

Speaker 5 (00:49):
Well, anyway, you guys are gonna love the show today
because last week we had a caller for ask Yee
and he was so emotional he only could leave a message.
He couldn't get on the phone. But his question was
about seeing his kids. He hasn't been able to see
his kids, the mothers withholding the children, and it opened
the floodgates for people to call in who are going

(01:10):
through similar issues now one man is in the middle
of taking care of his issues, and he referenced the
lawyer who was really helpful to him because he was saying,
the lawyer really matters. And somehow we all got connected.
And so Kathy Middleton Esquire is going to be joining
us today. And when I tell you any question that
you might have about how can you see your kids

(01:30):
for women, questions about child support and custody arrangements and visitation,
any question that you might have, she can answer that
for you. And so she's going to be joining us
today because of the demand that we saw from last
week's ask Ee. So I'm excited to bring you this information.
But let's start to show up with some love and positivity.
Let's shine a light eight hundred two nine to fifty

Speaker 5 (02:10):
It's way up at Angela Yee beat out today. I
want to shine a light. This kind of has to
do with what I did last night. I hosted the
book launch for Earn your Leisure at the Brooklyn Bank,
where as you can guess, is in Brooklyn.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
I deserve to be rich. I deserve to be rich.

Speaker 5 (02:29):
But anyway, I want to shout out to the owner
of the Brooklyn Bank.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
That's mister Jude Bernard.

Speaker 5 (02:35):
Now he has an amazing story, but I met him
even I met him before he opened a Brooklyn Bank.
Just from him doing real estate and learning how to
do things like clip Holmes, become a landlord, all of
the things that he's been doing.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
But it's been a long road for him.

Speaker 5 (02:49):
But on his page, he details every single step that
he does. He even shows like email correspondence, he shows
the landlord tenant relationship, he shows the difficulty that he
has with certain homes. He gives you different options, He'll
show you the checks, the money that like all of
the things.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
He's very transparent in what he does.

Speaker 5 (03:07):
And when he opened this place called the Brooklyn Bank,
it's like a venue. It's really something that I've watched
a lot of people use. I've been to events there
and that's where erniea Lisia chose to launch their books.
I thought it was just amazing seeing all these entrepreneurs
in one room coming together.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
So shut up. It's not an actual bank.

Speaker 5 (03:23):
No it's not. It's called the Brooklyn Bank. Gotch I
like it. I think it maybe it used to be
a bank. All right, Well, who do you guys want
to spread some love to Malik? Who do you want
to shine a light on shore?

Speaker 7 (03:31):
She's about to blow the lead about this, but let's
get it. Angelus vieling that yee te Come and get
the tea.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
It's way up. I'm here with my guy.

Speaker 5 (03:40):
Beat at you ready for some yet, let's do it.
I want to say I see beat out in the
comments on this yet. But we'll started off with Jim
Jones responding to fifty cent and Cameron. Now, this all
started when Jim Jones sat down with Justin le Boy
and he said they need to get off his right
right stop. See I can't even say nothing but anyway,

(04:03):
And then Cameron and Mace responded on there it is
what it is.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
And here's what Cameron had to say, you talk about Ran.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
I would have left. I would have left loan.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
But listen, do you remember how you got cool with us?

Speaker 4 (04:16):
One day?

Speaker 1 (04:16):
I'm leaving Mace's house on the West side, going back
to the east Side. I stopped at Jemorrow since grandmother
died got blessed day and he had a free he
had a free crap, So yeah, I would bring some
over there sometimes. I never needed nowhere to stay. Do
you act like keuch you begged us?

Speaker 4 (04:32):
You are a fan?

Speaker 3 (04:35):
Okay fan? Right?

Speaker 5 (04:37):
Well after that, and I want to say, Mace was
eating popcorn.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yeah, that was hilarious during this.

Speaker 5 (04:43):
Now I saw too cool to blog, said Jim Jones
response to fifty cent and Cameron in a song, Please
be honest, how is it sounding?

Speaker 3 (04:48):
First comment? Beatot sounding very good.

Speaker 5 (04:51):
Jim is at his best over dusty soul samples with
producers like Harry Freud. I've been begging years for him
and Pete Rock to do a project together.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Jim Jones' been on the road for the last couple
of years. If you listen to songs like.

Speaker 6 (05:02):
El Coppo, Harry Fraud Department, The Fraud Department, those are
really good albums.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
So I think that's Jim Jones and his best.

Speaker 5 (05:08):
All right, Well, here is a snippet of that song.
Please be honest.

Speaker 7 (05:13):
They can't talking about what we had to spears ago.

Speaker 6 (05:18):
I was just slammed with talking about the els you
didn't want to post.

Speaker 7 (05:22):
No, no, we're not checking that the past that we
know that, we're not packing that.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah, man, listen, I like Jim. That's the kind of
Jim Jones.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
I like, let's take it to the booth, all right,
dip set.

Speaker 5 (05:34):
I talked to Mano after all of this too, because
he was mentioned Yes as well, and he basically was like, man,
I hate to see them arguing because they have so
much history together. You know, some of the stuff is
too some isn't whatever. But he was like, I hate
to see them arguing. They you know, they got too much.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
I like Mana with a diplomatic approach.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
Yeah, look a man, he's so grown now.

Speaker 5 (05:55):
All right, now you want to hear something nice, something good,
says I was on Juba and Jrew Barrymore talked about
the song on Control that was named after her, right,
and here's what Sissy had to say about why she
did it.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
I thought this was beautiful.

Speaker 8 (06:10):
It was inspired by you. It wasn't just title after you.
The energy that you carry. Even my outfit is inspired
by the way you've made me feel my entire life
because you were so yourself. You were quirky. Your smile
wasn't perfect. I have like a slight speech impediment and
people laugh all the time.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
You're like, what is this it saying? And it's like
a running joke.

Speaker 8 (06:29):
It just reminds me of all the things about myself
that make me nervous. But on you, it shine so brightly.
You gave me permission to like be myself and feel
like this is so cool.

Speaker 5 (06:41):
I think that was so cute. Drew Barrymore was definitely
touched by that. You could see she was emotional. Yep,
all right, well that is your Yet when we come
back about last night, we'll discuss what we did last night.
I can't wait to hear what you were up to.
But I was actually at the book launch for Earn
Your Leisure. The book is out today and we'll talk
about it.

Speaker 7 (06:58):
It's way up up with Angelae. It's not just right
or wrong. It's about what you believe. It's time to
pick a side and stay there.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
Pick a side. It's way up. I'm here with Beata.

Speaker 4 (07:12):
Well there's beat out.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
I'm on the right side.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
Okay, let's see about that. Today.

Speaker 5 (07:16):
We're talking about if you leave the bottle or take
it home? When you attend a function, especially if it's
at somebody's home. Now here is what they said on
the Shade Room Live.

Speaker 9 (07:25):
If you bring a bottle and they don't drink it
at the function, is it okay to take your bottle home?

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Hell no, I have.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
People to do that to me.

Speaker 9 (07:33):
I was.

Speaker 6 (07:33):
I used to host a lot of parties in my
house and I stopped it.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Y'all just ate and drank and free. I made all
of this and.

Speaker 5 (07:41):
Then what all right, so let's talk about it now?
Beat that you're taking your bottle?

Speaker 2 (07:45):
You said, yeah.

Speaker 6 (07:46):
I also think it depends on who I'm going to visit,
because if it's someone I don't know like that, I'm
taking that home with me.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
But why would you be there?

Speaker 2 (07:55):
You know, my presence is a present.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
That's even worse if you don't know them like that.

Speaker 5 (07:59):
I think if you know the person better, then you
can be like sis, I'm taking this bottle home.

Speaker 6 (08:03):
Yeah, I feel like if I'm going with you somewhere,
I'm a plus one. You know, you don't want to
come in empty handed. You know, you bring something in.

Speaker 5 (08:09):
And then you'll take it back. I mean if not,
then now I gotta apologize for my plus one, no
bottle left behind, and they'd be like, you saw Angela's
plus one. He came in here with a dou rag
on and he took his bottle back.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
Well for me, I would say, it depends.

Speaker 5 (08:21):
Normally I'll leave my bottle, but I will say in
a special situation, I went to go see my family
over the holidays, and I bought a huge bottle.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
With me of tequila. And I know they're not going
to drink that, and I.

Speaker 5 (08:33):
Really bought it because I was like, I like this,
I'll buy this big bottle if we drink some here
and then I could take the rest.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
And I took it home. But it's my family.

Speaker 5 (08:40):
But if it was and they came from dinner, so
nobody cooked, so it's not like it was food that
they provided.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
So I took the bottle with me, but they knew.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
It, you know why, because lock is expensive.

Speaker 5 (08:50):
It is exactly and so yes, and so I think
in that situation, but if it was somebody's home, it's
a gift, they have a dinner, I'm leaving it all right. Now,
let's talk to you guys, Cicily. Are you leaving the
bottle or taking it home?

Speaker 10 (09:02):
You leave the bottle. You're taking the bottle as a
currency to the host. You leave the bottle.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (09:08):
Is there any condition where you could take it home
if they offer it to you?

Speaker 3 (09:11):
Okay, take this bottle with you?

Speaker 10 (09:13):
You should say no.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
So that's where you regift the gifts.

Speaker 10 (09:18):
No, you say no, it's a gift to the host.
The host went through a lot of troubles to have
DV and it's actually ruling you to take your bottle back.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (09:26):
So what if it was an expensive bottle of crystal
and nobody drunk it?

Speaker 11 (09:30):
You it?

Speaker 10 (09:31):
You made a decision about it, extensive bottle of crystal
to take to this event for the host. Why are
you watching to see if your bottle got journey anyway?

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Yeah, bring it down there right back if you have
a problem, all right, thank you.

Speaker 10 (09:48):
Thank you?

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (09:50):
Who's this?

Speaker 10 (09:51):
This is honor?

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (09:52):
Annah? How are you? I'm doing good?

Speaker 5 (09:55):
Me and be that are good? What do you think
about bringing the bottle home or leaving it?

Speaker 10 (10:00):
So for me, I will personally bring the bottle home,
depending on how much it's in the bottle.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
Okay, so you've done this?

Speaker 10 (10:08):
Yes, absolutely. Sometimes I come to function and I have
half a bottle left. I'm bringing that half a bottle.

Speaker 6 (10:14):
It's almost like, remember we go to the club, right,
you buy a bottle, it's half joint.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Do you take it home with you?

Speaker 9 (10:19):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (10:20):
You know what? And you do own that bottle?

Speaker 9 (10:21):
Do?

Speaker 5 (10:22):
They sometimes have an issue if you take it from
But it's not a club.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
If somebody's home, it's.

Speaker 10 (10:26):
A bottle home.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Nowadays, I'm sneak.

Speaker 5 (10:29):
We definitely sneaked the bottle out of the club. If
I pay for a bottle the club, I'm taking it
with me. I'm telling you that right now.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Save concept.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
But it's not a club if someone's.

Speaker 10 (10:36):
Homeme, by all means, I try to bring that bottle back.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
I gotta ask you, what bottle would you bring to
a function?

Speaker 10 (10:45):
I'll bring don Julio obviously.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
I think it depends on the price point. Angela. Now,
if you bring a bottle of something from the gas station,
you can keep that.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
You shouldn't even bring.

Speaker 10 (10:52):
That, Oh yeah, keep that?

Speaker 3 (10:54):
Yeah, enjoy all right?

Speaker 5 (10:58):
Thank you for everybody pylos there. What do you do?
Do you bring the bottle home or leave it there?
At an event that someone's home, you leave it there.

Speaker 11 (11:08):
They provided the food the wolves that you're sitting under
and you know the entertainment.

Speaker 10 (11:15):
So yeah, you leave the bottle there for to show
your appreciation.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Okay, damn, I guess I'm the tech.

Speaker 12 (11:21):
Don't nobody wants to ride home drunk anyway?

Speaker 3 (11:25):
All right, thank you, all right, bye.

Speaker 6 (11:27):
I can't lie, Angela. I did bring a bottle home once.
I'm thinking of a scenario when it happened.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
Was it at my house?

Speaker 1 (11:33):
No?

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Was it? It was fourth of July and had a
bottle hypnotic.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
And you took a bottle hypnotic home. You deserved everything
you got.

Speaker 5 (11:43):
If you couldn't get through to leave a message eight
hundred and two ninety two fifty one fifty, you could
leave a message for last word. And when we come back,
we have your yet, and let's talk boxing. When we
come back, we'll tell you about some new things that
are about to happen.

Speaker 3 (11:55):
It's way up.

Speaker 7 (11:58):
In the rooms, from industry shade to all the gossip out.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
Angela's spiling that et.

Speaker 5 (12:05):
It's the way I put the Angela yee and beat
out his hair be where else. Let's get into some
boxing news. Ryan Garcia versus Devin Haney. That rematch is official, okay.
And you know Devin Haney was suing Ryan Garcia, so
that lawsuit has now been dropped because of this fight
that's going to be happening now. If you guys recalled

(12:26):
last Saturday, Bill and Devin Haney ran into Ryan Garcia
at the Ring Awards in London and as he was leaving,
here's Bill Haney.

Speaker 6 (12:36):
Talk well, man came all out here for nothing.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
Huh, you're ducking it all.

Speaker 5 (12:41):
Stay quiet, okay, And then Ryan Garcia went on social
media and said, you can smell the desperation that sounds like.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
But it is gonna happen. Are you gonna watch this
fight this year?

Speaker 4 (12:51):
Of course?

Speaker 3 (12:52):
Rematch?

Speaker 5 (12:53):
What do you think is going to happen? Because there
was an investigation. Ryan Garcia's decision victory was overturned to
a no contest. He was also suspended a year from
professional boxing, and they want to make sure these drug
tests get done. Devin Haney went on social media and said,
I guess he's not a duck, he's a goose.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
See you soon, bucco.

Speaker 5 (13:11):
And Ryan Garcia said crazy things on his page right
and he said he is being drug tested, just not
by Vedas. So everything they said is lies, lies and
more lies. I came here for business. Bill, You're going
to get that call. Just shut up, take the deal,
drop the lawsuit, and do what you're told.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Bum.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
That lawsuit was real crazy.

Speaker 5 (13:28):
Though, I think that they also were trying to get
the money that they were supposed to get, you know,
from that fight in you know, truthfully, there was a
lot of red flags, like with the drug testing, the weight,
all of that, you know. So this I think, well,
if everything can be above table and then the way
they're supposed to, this will really determine because I don't
know what type of effect that would have had on

(13:51):
the fight with Ryan Garcia.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Right, everyone's going to get paid at the end of
the day.

Speaker 5 (13:54):
All right, Now, Terrence Crawford is going to be fighting
Canelo Alvarez.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
That's been agreed upon.

Speaker 5 (14:00):
Terrence Crawfords that I'm a shock the world watch the
best is yet to come. I had it in my
back pocket this whole time. So this was first to discuss.
Last year, talks died down. Canelo did not want to
negotiate prior to his September fight, But now they're supposedly
well rested, recharged following their latest fights.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
Who you got in that one?

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Now, that's a fight I want to see.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
That's gonna be a good one.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
I'm going with the Mexican. Oh Canelo.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Man.

Speaker 5 (14:24):
Listen, y'all didn't y'all counted out Terrence Crawford before.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
So I feel good.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
That's gonna be a good one. We have to go
to that one in all right?

Speaker 3 (14:31):
Where is it?

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Where is it at?

Speaker 11 (14:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (14:32):
Do we know where it's at? I would definitely, I
would definitely want to go to that one. Let's see
if we can make it happen. That should be fun.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Put my mink on, all right.

Speaker 5 (14:39):
And Tyson Fury had an announcement. Here's what he had
to say.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
I'd like to announce my retirement from boxing. It's been
a blust. I've loved every single minute of it. Go
bless everybody. See you on the other side. This is
like his eighth retiring.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
Yeah, he's thirty six years old, y'all don't believe it.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
He always makes these announcements.

Speaker 5 (14:56):
You know, he retired before in twenty twenty two, but
then Foggy two months later.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
Then he kept saying he was going to retire.

Speaker 5 (15:03):
It is a really tough sport though, so I can
see why if there's you know, we don't know what's
going on in people's personalized but maybe there was a reason.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
All right, well that is your Yet when we come back,
we have.

Speaker 5 (15:13):
Under the radar the stories that are not necessarily in
the headlines. They are flying under the radar, but you
definitely need to know about it, all of you TikTok users.
What is about to happen in the near future. We'll
discuss that. And under the radar, it's way up.

Speaker 4 (15:26):
It's the news news.

Speaker 7 (15:28):
This in the news that relates to you. These stories
are flying under the radar.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
All right, it's way up.

Speaker 5 (15:34):
I'm here with my guy beat at and people are
trying to figure out other alternatives.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
For TikTok Ah.

Speaker 5 (15:42):
Yes, So right now, this law that could shut down
TikTok Nation, why, it may take effect as early as Sunday,
if the parent company Bite Dance does not sell off
the app, and if the Supreme Court does not block
the law. There's one hundred and seventy million monthly users
just in the United States. So right now this is
there's the time that other competitors are really trying to
step up to the plate. I see people looking for

(16:04):
other options. People have signed up for a Neptune. They said,
if we want another TikTok, it is going to have
to happen naturally. There's all these other ones. It was
another app that I saw went to like number one,
you know, on the in the app store. So I
don't know what's going to end up happening, but there's
people who also are trying to buy it. TikTok says
the report of a possible sale to Elon Musk is

(16:25):
pure fiction that I think should not be allowed to happen.
But they did say that that was a possibility, but
they're letting you know that it's definitely not going to happen.
I saw Meek Mill said, sell TikTok to me, so
he stepped.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
Up to the pulate.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Maybe you can buy it.

Speaker 5 (16:39):
Angela mster b said, okay, fine, I'll buy TikTok so
it doesn't get banned. Red note is at the top
of the app charts. That's the app I was talking
about ahead of this potential TikTok band. But it's also
another Shanghai based Chinese language social media app, so wouldn't
that face the same problems At some point?

Speaker 2 (16:57):
Maybe you and I should go half then, how about that?

Speaker 5 (17:00):
Or how about I just become an ambassador. You pay
for it and I'll do some of the legwork.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
We're going to learn the new dances.

Speaker 5 (17:07):
Yeah, but listen, I'm sure it's going to be quite
profitable for whoever decides that they want to do it.
Look at listen. People thought Elon Musk was crazy. Yeah
when he bought Twitter.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
Yeah, I still think he overpaid.

Speaker 5 (17:19):
But listen, he had other he had other goals. Right,
The goal wasn't just about money. It was about power,
and it was about the upcoming election and all of
those things.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
Right, And it's power and freedom of speech all right.

Speaker 13 (17:31):
Now.

Speaker 5 (17:32):
President Joe Biden announced yesterday that his administration had approved
federal student lonely for more than one hundred and fifty
thousand borrowers, so that total number of people whose student
debt has been canceled is over five million. I saw
our I saw a navy over here looking at me.
He runs the boards here and he's still waiting. Is
yours canceled yet?

Speaker 3 (17:52):
Not yet? Okay, Well, there's still some time.

Speaker 5 (17:55):
There's still a couple of days, maybe after the show,
but yeah, maybe later today it should happen.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
All right, Well that is you're under the radar.

Speaker 14 (18:02):
Now.

Speaker 5 (18:02):
I'm excited about this guest who's going to be joining
us today. Kathy Middleton Esquire. She is an attorney, but
she deals a lot with family law. And we had
a guest last week. Well, we had a caller calling
for Assie. He was a guest and he was having
issues being able to see his kids. He was paying
child support, but the mother was not allowing him to
see his kids. That opened the floodgates for so many
people dealing with issues similar to that to call in.

(18:24):
So she's going to give you legal advice for people
who are like I don't want to take this the court.
I can't win. The woman always wins. She's going to
tell you what you can and cannot do, what the
courts will say, and what you should do if you
want to be able to see your kids, or set
a visitation or alternate holidays, anything that has to do
with your family. She's going to be able to help you,
help you guys out. We also have the way it

(18:46):
mixed at the top of the hour.

Speaker 3 (18:47):
It's all good.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
It's what was the call of don Trip?

Speaker 3 (18:51):
No, it was not don Trip got it all right.
It's way up.

Speaker 4 (18:53):
It's like the child like they and Jeli Jean like
they and Julie Jean Man, she's spilling it all. This
is ye way up.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
It's way up. At Angela, yee hate beat that. Ready
for this was way for my job? Ready for your drop?

Speaker 2 (19:09):
Why you ever got to just say hi, Hi Angela?

Speaker 5 (19:11):
All right, well let's get into this yet. So this woman,
I feel so bad for her. She's a middle aged
French woman. She got scammed out of eight hundred and
fifty thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
She thought she was dating Brad Pitt.

Speaker 5 (19:22):
And they have the pictures that he sent or whoever
it was sent, of Brad Pitt in the hospital holding
up a sign that says, and I love you.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
I guess the word.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
We see these pictures.

Speaker 5 (19:34):
She was fifty three years old, married to a millionaire
at the time, and in twenty twenty three she fell
for this.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
She sent him all this money.

Speaker 5 (19:42):
He had these fake hospital bed pictures, and she got
the money from her divorce settlement because she broke up
with her husband because she thought she was getting with
Brad Pitt. He said he couldn't use his own cash
because he was tied up in a divorce with Angelina
Jolie and she was helping him out.

Speaker 6 (19:57):
I guess that wasn't Brad Pitt, that was Joe Black.
She could have gotten me for way less.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
You know how she caught on and this is heartbreaking.
She caught him.

Speaker 5 (20:06):
She spotted a picture of Brad Pitt, the real one,
out with his current girlfriend.

Speaker 6 (20:11):
What was Brad? What would Why would Brad Pitt ask
her for money?

Speaker 5 (20:15):
And you know she only texted with him because he
was too busy for calls even while he was in
the hospital.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
How busy are you in hospital?

Speaker 6 (20:21):
And the pictures that they posted looked like they were
made on Microsoft paint.

Speaker 5 (20:25):
I felt so bad that this one, But it's also
kind of like did you not tell your friends? Nobody
was like, Sis, that's not Brad Pitt. I had to
tell an Uber driver once that he was getting scammed.
He was telling me about his girlfriend. He was sending
her money and they were supposed to meet up in Mexico.
She didn't end up showing up. He bought her a
new phone, He did all these things for her. I
was like, have you ever met her in person? Have
you FaceTime with her? And he hadn't, and I was like, sir,

(20:49):
stop sending this woman money. Whoever, this is all right, Eminem.
This disc track that he had smack you has leaked.
Now this sounds like it's from like the early two thousands.
Apparently there's been a lot of tracks that have gotten
leaked in recent days. Fred Reck is like the producer,
Fred Wreck is warning the criminal who's leaking the Eminem music,
we will find.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
You and street law will be applied.

Speaker 5 (21:11):
So this doesn't feel like something They went out and
when I listened to it, I clutched my pearls and
you said, this is the Eminem we love.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
Yes, all right, well here is a little piece of
that leak.

Speaker 4 (21:21):
Dose one a question. Now we bring our daughter rough.
You don't even.

Speaker 9 (21:24):
Raise the kids. You're waddling toddle uf, fat ass, tafetable
white who lives in McDonald's taus You stay in La
it's Runna Polly with all the plugs making soon to

Speaker 6 (21:49):
That's my favorite version of eminem that three album run
from Slim Shady, Olp Marshall, Mothers and eminem show.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
Love it all right.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
Well, this was aimed at Shuge Knight and John Rule Smack.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
You Poles, Donna smack them oh listen.

Speaker 5 (22:03):
Point all right, and the Grammys. We talked about this yesterday.
They were talking about whether were they going to delay
the Grammys, are they going to make it a fundraiser.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
Well, it's still going to happen.

Speaker 5 (22:13):
They shared a statement yesterday acknowledging the natural disasters that
were tragic. They also detailed various charitable efforts to help.
But it's going to happen Sunday for February second, still
at the Crypto dot Com Arena in LA and they
are also launching this fire relief effort with an initial
one million dollar donation to support music creators and professionals.
And so they are still going to have this, but

(22:35):
also make sure that this is something that is going
to amplify the spirit of resilience that defines this great
city of Los Angeles. There's going to be a renewed
sense of purpose raising additional funds to support wildfire relief efforts.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
Sounds like a telethon, Yeah, I.

Speaker 5 (22:50):
Mean, I think it's a great opportunity to raise money,
you know. And Beyonce's delayed her announcement that was supposed
to happen today because of these LA fires. It'll be
a later date now. In recognition of people who've been
going through it. The Weekend canceled his Rose Bowl concert
and postpone this album amid these fires as well. The
album is now postponed to January thirty first, out of

(23:14):
respect and concern.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
So I love the fact that the Grammys are like
putting the artists on Front Street a little bit, you
know what I mean, like this, put your money where
your plaquesaw?

Speaker 5 (23:24):

Speaker 1 (23:54):

Speaker 3 (23:54):
Course I am all right.

Speaker 5 (23:55):
Well, we have somebody who has asked to remain anonymous
on the line with subsis.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
You doing gay? How are you feeling? I'm okay.

Speaker 13 (24:03):
I went through my sponsors phone and it was a
bunch of provocative steps between him and this guy who
you can kind of see like he dresses like a
woman in a way, but he still like doesn't wear wigs.

Speaker 5 (24:15):
Or okay, so he's gay. You could see that he's dated.
He's talking to somebody who's gay. Yes, exact what kind
of conversations were they having?

Speaker 13 (24:25):
Like very provgative like And it was my kid's father
who was like really like, I can't wait to do this,
and god, this is so big and extreme stuff.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
So I was like, homework. You must have been devastated.

Speaker 5 (24:41):
I mean not just the cheating, but then finding out that,
I mean, he could be bisexual or he could you know,
maybe he's bisexual and he likes men and women. But
the cheating part is the part that's intolerable too, Yeah,
because I.

Speaker 13 (24:55):
Kind of suspected to cheating, but I didn't expect that.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
How long have you got been together?

Speaker 4 (25:01):
Ten years?

Speaker 3 (25:02):
Okay, Well, here's the thing.

Speaker 5 (25:04):
You guys have kids together, no matter what right you
got to is he a good father?

Speaker 3 (25:09):
That's questionable.

Speaker 5 (25:10):
You know, you have to let him know that you're aware.
I think that you just have to confront him.

Speaker 3 (25:15):
But also I did.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
Oh he went crazy.

Speaker 13 (25:19):
He's like, no, no, no, why would you touch my phone?
Is not what it looks like and all this craziness,
And I'm like, I'm good.

Speaker 3 (25:26):
So now you ask me, what do you want to
do now?

Speaker 13 (25:29):
I don't want to be with him, and I think that,
like you said, he might be in a place where
he likes both.

Speaker 12 (25:35):
And I mean, to each his own.

Speaker 4 (25:37):
I'm not mad at that.

Speaker 13 (25:38):
But it's just like I've questioned this before, but I
never could like say that was the case.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (25:45):
I mean, though, now you got the evidence that you
need to know that he's clearly at the lowest end
of things. He's a cheater and not honest, and you
know you don't want to be with him anymore. But
you guys do still have to deal with each other.
Because of the kids. So you need to figure that out.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
You know, it's a hard part.

Speaker 13 (26:03):
We live together, we kind of build our lives around
each other and taking care of our kids.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
So it's just hard. I don't have family here he does.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
It's just are.

Speaker 4 (26:15):
No.

Speaker 13 (26:15):
I love him, but I love him like family.

Speaker 5 (26:18):
But I also want you to go out and find
your person at some point for sure. And the only
way you can do that is to separate. And while
it might be hard, it's going to be just a
new normal for you of getting used to something else.
And you guys got to have a cordial relationship. And
I think you can because you said you love him
and whatever he's doing, it's not about you.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
It's about whatever issues. Like you said, he has.

Speaker 5 (26:38):
His own things going on with him and so he
wasn't honest with you. But maybe he's not even honest
with himself.

Speaker 13 (26:45):
Yeah, but we haven't talked about it at all. He
tried to act like it didn't happen, like.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
It's like, yeah, he's avoiding it. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (26:56):
Ago, you know, for the sake of being how old
are your kids or how many kids do you have?

Speaker 3 (27:01):
We have four?

Speaker 5 (27:02):
Okay, I think you guys, what you all might need
to do is he needs to talk to somebody on
his own to be able to come to terms with
what's going on with his life, express himself, and then
you know, I wouldn't be mad at y'all going together
to try to figure out how do you guys move
forward as people who are going to be I learned
this phrase parallel parenting, but parenting together to be able

(27:24):
to respect each other, for you to understand where he's come,
for him to understand, because I feel like he don't
even understand what he's dealing with and he's embarrassed and
he's not coming to terms with it, and he needs
to talk to somebody.

Speaker 13 (27:36):
So what are you doing in a situation when like
he's the person who won't talk to anybody, he's one
hundred percent against counseling.

Speaker 5 (27:43):
I would tell him that, look, I know that it's
hard for you to talk to me about this now.
The only way that I feel like we can even
like be cordial and figure out what's going to happen
to still be able to function is do this for
the kids and for yourself.

Speaker 11 (27:57):
Well, thank you.

Speaker 13 (27:58):
I'm definitely going to try to put this in place.

Speaker 5 (28:01):
All right, Good luck. All right, we want to give
you a big virtual hug over the phone.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
I appreciate it. Thank you for calling us.

Speaker 5 (28:10):
And you know what, out of that, we're going to
be talking to Kathy Middleton Esquire when we come back.
She's a family planning lawyer and so she deals a
lot when it comes to rights and visitation and child
supporting all of that. So many people have questions she's
going to be here to help you out. It's way up, yee,
but you all been waiting for.

Speaker 4 (28:33):
You're tapped in the way up with Angela Yee.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
What's up?

Speaker 5 (28:35):
It's way up with Angela Yee. And today we're doing
something really special. I've always said that I always like
to defer to experts when something is outside of my
room of expertise.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
And we have Kathy Middleton Esquire with us. Thank you
for joining us.

Speaker 14 (28:48):
Thank you for having me on the show.

Speaker 5 (28:49):
So the other day we did have an ask EEE caller.
He left a voicemail and he was discussing issues that
he was having with seeing his kids.

Speaker 3 (28:57):
Let's play that call for her right now.

Speaker 12 (29:00):
Do I get my kids bag? I ain't screamed my
kids for three years. I paid child before he smelt
with my best man own the wednight, So that's why
the voice happened. He's been because I found out that
she slept with the best man and the jode. Better
do tell me how can I give my kids back?

Speaker 13 (29:22):
Please?

Speaker 3 (29:23):
Okay? So you hear his question now. I tried to
help him as best as I could.

Speaker 5 (29:26):
I told him the earlier that he gets a lawyer
and establishes some type of visitation, the better it is
for him. But I want you to answer as somebody
who you deal with family planning, family law, you deal
with child support, you deal with visitation, custody, all of
those things. So what would you tell somebody he hasn't
seen his children. He pays child support, But what can

(29:47):
he do?

Speaker 3 (29:47):
Angela?

Speaker 2 (29:48):
You gave him good advice.

Speaker 14 (29:49):
The first thing that he needed to do was to
reach out to contact legal counsel so that he could
get a petition started for child custody slash visitation. By
doing that, what he will do is he'll start the process,
the ball rolling towards getting access back to his children.
Because what happened to him is he's become a victim

(30:09):
of parental alienation. He's not seeing the children he's not
speaking with the children. There's no communication whatsoever. The longer
the time lapses between the last time he saw the
children and the next time he sees them, the likelihood
shrinks by the year as to whether or not he
will be able to come back into those children's lives.
It will probably be supervised visits because he has been

(30:31):
away from the children's lives for a while. But they
will put a regular schedule in place with the goal
of having it moved from supervised to unsupervised bi weekly
visitation with him. But if the children start reaching the
age of preteenhood twelve, thirteen, fourteen, and they're saying, I
don't know this man, I don't want to be around him,
then the court is going to have a difficult time

(30:54):
forcing children to have visitation with somebody that they really
don't know, who's actually a stranger. So his job is
to really do as much as he can now to
get the ball rolling in court.

Speaker 5 (31:05):
Right now, I'm talking to lawyer Cathy Middleton, who actually
specializes in family planning. Let's say the kid is seven
years old and they're like, I don't want to see
my dad, I don't know him, I'm scared of him.
My mom has told me awful things about him. Then
what does the court do.

Speaker 14 (31:21):
Well, I have a case like that right now. And
so what the court has done is they established a
supervised visitation schedule which was being supervised by a social
worker who was attempting to reconnect or reunite the child
with the father. The problem with these visits is that
they were virtual visits, so there was a lot of
room for mismanagement in terms of the mother poisoning the

(31:44):
child against the father, saying that the child was not
interested in the visits and that sort of thing. And
when the court realized that that was not a suitable
way of trying to reunite these parties, they then moved
to a therapeutic supervised visitation schedule, where we now have
an actual psychiatrist who is overseeing the visitation, counseling the parties,
dealing with the issues that the child has as a

(32:06):
result of having been away from the father, as well
as the issues that the father's having as a result
of being disconnected with the child. And so we're seeing
a lot more progress take place. It may be within
the confines of a doctor's office, but at least the
process is beginning to take place for reunification.

Speaker 5 (32:22):
Kathy Middleton esquire is here. We have more with her
when we come back. She'll be answering a lot of
questions that you guys have. Personally, it's way up.

Speaker 4 (32:32):
You want to know my name? Way up with Angela ye?
Turn me on?

Speaker 3 (32:36):
What's up?

Speaker 5 (32:37):
Is way up with Angela yee? And we are here
with family planning lawyers. She also helps people when it
comes to child support, when it comes to custody visitation.
Kathy Middleton esquire, So, how does a domestic violence situation
affect a father's visitation or custody.

Speaker 14 (32:52):
We often at my office as well, have domestic violence cases,
and we have to navigate the murky warders of being
able to maintain the integrity of the child's relationship with
the father and the father's relationship with the child even
in the midst of a domestic violence order protection situation.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
In New York State, what we tend.

Speaker 14 (33:11):
To do is the court will usually issue an order
of protection that has a carve out. It allows a
father to be able to continue to have consistent visits
with their child even while they're abiding by the terms
and conditions of an order of protection. So if an
order protection requires a father to stay away from the mother,
he still can be able to have access to the child.

(33:33):
Visitation will take place drop off and pick up, and
say a police precincta or maybe another relative will facilitate
the drop off and pick up of the child, and
the father will be able to then take the child
to their home and return the child at the end
of the visit.

Speaker 3 (33:48):
Now, that could be a real issue.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
Though.

Speaker 5 (33:49):
Let's say a woman is frightened because she's like, he
beat me up, he put his hands on me. I'm
not comfortable with my child being around somebody that has
these anger issues.

Speaker 14 (33:58):
Then what happens, we're generally speaking, will look at where
the violence was directed towards. So if it was directed
towards the woman and only the woman, the view of
the court is that it should not be the case
that we now cut off all relationships that the father
would have had with any of his children. If, however,
the domestic violence involves the children as well, then what

(34:20):
may happen is the visitation with the parent and child
may be a supervised visitation schedule.

Speaker 5 (34:26):
Right now, I'm talking to lawyer Kathy Middleton, who actually
specializes in family planning. All right, now we have another
call it because, like I said, this day, when we
had this ask e, the phone lines blew up. There
were so many people leaving messages. All right, here's another question.

Speaker 6 (34:40):
I get to see my.

Speaker 10 (34:41):
Daughter only Thursday to Saturdays. I drop her all Sundays,
but the other days Monday, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, I cannot call her.

Speaker 14 (34:47):
I cannot speak to her.

Speaker 13 (34:48):
Not because I have anything with the law or anything,
but my ex.

Speaker 11 (34:51):
Wife won't allow me to. I'm afraid to go to.

Speaker 10 (34:53):
The court because everybody I speak to says that I'm
gonna lose the case because it's a mother The mother
always wins.

Speaker 5 (34:58):
People do say that the mother always wins when it
comes to course. So what do you say to that? Okay,
I would say that he's getting some bad advice. He
needs to contact the lawyer right away.

Speaker 14 (35:06):
As a father, he's got a right to have consistent
visits with his child. On those days when the child
is not in his home or visiting with him, he's
supposed to be able to have either telephonic or FaceTime
visits with the child. There should be like an hour
set aside. And most of my cases will have like
seven o'clock every evening. The father's allowed to either have
a FaceTime call or telephone call with the child.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
That's good. Yes, okay.

Speaker 5 (35:29):
You also, though, work with women, so I don't want
people to think this is just about men. You do
also work with women, yes, and helping that because you
has to have a bug helping women.

Speaker 3 (35:36):
Yes, here a girl get that child?

Speaker 2 (35:38):
Sup work?

Speaker 3 (35:39):
Yes?

Speaker 14 (35:39):
And so we Half of my clients are women, and
I help women with child support, paternity, custody issues, domestic violence, divorce.
You know, we're equal opportunity office. We discriminated against no one.

Speaker 5 (35:51):
And I do feel like men it's harder for them
to get help, and people don't take into consideration people
who want to be in their kids' lives. True, and
there's some type of hinderance there. So I don't want
guys to feel like I just give up. This is
too difficult. It's not gonna happen. I can't deal with
this woman and I'd rather just let it go. You know,
you gotta make it happen. All right, Well, I appreciate
you so much for coming. I know there's going to
