It's the way you put it into la. Yee, my girl,
tell us here, you ready to shine a light? Yes,
this one's for you today. We are going to shine
a light on. Harold Washington. He was Chicago's first black mayor.
He was first elected to his role in nineteen eighty three,
and that was partly because of one hundred thousand new
voters registered. There was a coalition of black and Latino
voters who became key to his success. So when people
(00:35):
try to say voting doesn't matter, blah blah blah, that
is absolutely not true.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
He was in the military.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
He was honorably discharged in nineteen forty six, and things
were pretty difficult in his first term in office.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
There were a lot of challenges.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
A majority of aldermen refused many of his proposals.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
He had to use his veto power early on.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
But one of the first things he did as mayor
was promote women to his cabinet.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
Yes, I mean, if you don't know, if you ain't
up on here, Washington, then you ain't no true. Chicago
in Harold Washington was like everybody grand deity. I remember
when he first dad, like I was in school and
everybody got early dismissed.

Oh wow. Yes.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
And Hair Washington Cultural Sena is on the lower end
where I'm from, right on forty seven, so like we

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Well, he was re elected in nineteen eighty seven, but
like you said, he passed away just seven months into
his second term. He died of a heart attack and
people were shocked. He was only sixty five years old.
But people believe he paved the way for other history
making black leaders like former President Barack Obama. LORI lightfootage
Chicago mayor as well and forever changed Chicago politics.

Second, my birthday, and he had gotten his life completely
turned around together.

was really doing a bit right before they take him, premise,
But I still want to shine a light on him.

If you couldn't get through, leave a message in Shina
light that way, and when we come back, let's talk
about fifty cents.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
It's the ending BMF.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
You know, we had Da Vinci up here the other
day and there were hints of that happening even then.
But we'll tell you what's going on behind the scenes

Speaker 4 (02:59):
It's way I put into ye. I'm here with my girllla.
Speaker 9 (03:01):
H R.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
And let's get into this yet. So fifty Cent is.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Hinting at ending BMF and it looks like he has
some issues with Big Meach. Now I'm wondering if this
has to do with Rick Ross doing the concert. Yes,
I don't know, but the Welcome Home concert with Big Meach,
but fifty Cent posted a rat and he put under it.
I think on Big Meach, the biggest mistake he ever
made was not sustaining his relationship with Tammy Cowen. Her
tell All documentary reveals the Truth.
Speaker 9 (03:31):
When I saw that picture, I knew it was gonna be.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Something oh with Big Meach and Rick Ross.
Speaker 9 (03:35):
Yeah, I was like, yeah, it's gonna be.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Up well two bad because I really enjoyed that show.
But BMF does eventually have to come to an end
because they did end up going to jail, so at
some point, right, okay, the series was going to end, all.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Right, asp Rocky.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
According to prosecutors, they're saying that, contrary to previous reports,
he is not facing a potential twenty four year sentence
if convicted, there's seeking a prison term of eight years.
He's accused of shooting his former friend acep Relly, and
that case has gotten a lot of people talking. Acep
Relly was actually frustrated with the prosecutions. Well, acep Relly
(04:14):
was first, was frustrated while he was in court. He
doesn't like the questions that he's being asked, and he
feels that acep Rocky's legal team is trying to trip
him up. He also called out acep Rocky's attorney and
during this outburst that he had yesterday, he wanted them
to know that he's not the one on trial. And
he actually threw a water bottle during this listen, trying
(04:37):
to trip you.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Up shooting start stop.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Filay, he's not doing well on the stand. You can't
lose your coup like that. You can't throw a water bottle.
And of course he's trying to trip you up exactly.
Isn't that like what they're supposed to do, Just like
the prosecutors are going to try to trip up acep Rocky.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
That's what happen, all right.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Well, fifty cent believes the ACEP Rocky's child should be
thrown out after seeing all of acet Rally's outstanding warrants,
because he does have two outstanding New Jersey warrants. Fifty
Cent posted, now, what's the chances of that on the
stand on the run yet, throw this whole case away.
This guy is trying to get some money, that's all.
Speaker 9 (05:17):
Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
And these warrants just came up as he's been testifying
right now. It's from an incident in the city of Weehawken,
New Jersey, from August two thousand and ten. All right,
well that is your yet, and when we come back,
we have about last night.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Yeah, last night was a crazy night.
Speaker 9 (05:35):
Yeah, it was crazy.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
We'll talk about it. We were in Brooklyn. I'm a
little frustrated. I'm trying to deal with some issues that
I had last night right now, but we'll talk about
it as.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Way up night.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
So about last night, Yes, I went down, All right,
it's way up at Angela Yee and I am here
with my girl, Tella h right from Chicago.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
You got him yesterday.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
So let's talk about our last night because we were
here at work, I had like twenty five thousand meetings.
Shout out to the NBA Foundation, by the way, because
I'll be going to San Francisco for All Star weekend
and I'm actually going to be a judge in their
pitch competition, and so they're giving away grants to people
they don't take no percentage of your company. They don't
tell you what to do with the money. But there's
(06:21):
going to be a pitch competition. There's seven different companies
and I'm one of the judges. I'm excited for that.
And then I went home and I was very excited
to start juicing. You know, I bought this juicer, a
Coving's juicer. But there's a piece missing, and so I'm
over here putting it together and I'm like, where is
the screw that has to go here?
Speaker 4 (06:39):
And I couldn't find it.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
So now I have to fill out all this stuff
just to try to get this little screw. Yeah, now
what about you, teller, You had a crazy day yesterday.
Speaker 9 (06:46):
Yeah, I got some tragic news.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
So I want to say a prayer for the family,
my low End family, Trail and dog. Their daughter Jala
was tragically killed in the car accident yesterday and another
guy named Tony. So I just want to pray for them.
You know, car accidents, It's been so many, especially in
Chicago lately, So I just want to pray for their family.
Speaker 9 (07:08):
I couldn't imagine.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
You know, Jada was a sweetheart, photographer and a mother too,
so you know, it's just rough for them, So I
just pray for their family.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yes, prayers up. Please everybody keep them in your thoughts
and prayers.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
So they kind of took my energy away last night
before I was beating you and packed me in like that.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
You know you said you coldn't even really sleep last night. Yeah,
I couldn't, couldn't.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
My phone was off the chain and I'm here too,
so it's like, man, do I want to But you know,
it was just like just say a prayer. You know,
in times like this, people don't want to keep hearing
phone talking on the phone anyway, So you know, I
just sent them some messages and said a prayer because
that's all I can do. So again, I'm praying for
boats trail Land dog from the new Town all right.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
And you know another thing we were talking about this too,
Gurus of the Graham. You know, there's a lot of
people on social media that are giving you gems and
sometimes they're not gems. Sometimes it's just people talking, but
gurus of the Graham. So this is from Fankshway culture
and when somebody asks you how you're doing, you know
they've always done these skits where you like how you're doing,
(08:20):
and then somebody really tells you how you're doing or
should you just say I'm doing great?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
All right? Listen to what Fank's Way culture has to say.
Speaker 10 (08:27):
If you're feeling unwell or facing career struggles and someone
asks you how things are going, just say I'm doing great.
Never talk about your illnesses or misfortunes, and avoid complaining
about your situation. When you complain, your inner energy field
starts to believe that you need sympathy and care, which
weakens your immune system. Tell everyone that you're doing great.
Your career is thriving, your family is wonderful, and your
(08:50):
relationship is strong. Everything will get better and better.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Oooh, what do you think about that?
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Because I saw a lot of people arguing in the
comments over what they had to say about whether or
not you should be honest when people ask how you're doing.
Should you say I'm doing great even though I'm not
doing great? Because I've also heard people say if you
don't voice it, then how will anybody know that you
need help or that you're not doing well or even
understand that? What do you guys think? Eight hundred two
(09:17):
nine two fifty one fifty We're talking about if somebody says,
how are things going? Should you be honest if they're
not going well? Or should you be like things are
going great because you don't want to speak that negativity?
Speaker 9 (09:27):
Yea, it depends, all right, what's all?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
We'll talk about it. Eight hundred two ninety two fifty
one fifty call us.
Speaker 9 (09:33):
Up flexing on the gram.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
They talked that talk, but is it cap Ornah? They
are gurus of a gram.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
All right, as way up fort Angela, Ye, my girl,
tell us here, that's right, and gurus of the Gram.
Today we're talking about this clip from feng Shui culture.
Speaker 10 (09:50):
If you're feeling unwell or facing career struggles and someone
asks you how things are going, just say I'm doing great.
Never talk about your illnesses or misfortunes, and avoid complaining
about your situation. When you complain, your inner energy field
starts to believe that you need sympathy and care, which
weakens your immune system. Tell everyone that you're doing great.
Your career is thriving, your family is wonderful, and your
(10:13):
relationship is strong. Everything will get better and better.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
All right, now, what do you think about that?
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Tell if somebody asks you how you're doing do you
if you're not doing good, do you tell the truth
or do you just say I'm doing great?
Speaker 5 (10:24):
It depends on who asks, hmm. So to my close friends,
I might keep it a hunted. But then sometimes when
I just got too much going on, I don't want
to just keep being.
Speaker 9 (10:34):
Like the person with all the bad news.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
You know, right, But you.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Know, it depends I think about how I feel because
I used to. There was a couple of people in
my life that used to complain about everything right, and
it used to get so draining where every time I knew,
they never asked me how I was doing. All they
did was da da da dad, this is wrong. I
hate this person. I hate that in my life. And
you'd be like, okay, yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
I'm good for saying I don't want to complain this.
I ain't complaing, That's what I'll say.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
But yeah, because I also feel like sometimes you complain
and that energy does transfer over to other people. It
makes people kind of like avoid you. So I understand
it to a certain degree. I don't think you have
to say everything's great. If it's not, you could say
something like it could be better.
Speaker 9 (11:15):
But yeah, you know.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
I'm blessed all right, well I find so is on
the line. Hey, I'll find so how are you not bad?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
How are you doing? How are you doing?
Speaker 4 (11:24):
You want to know for real?
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Me and Chelse, But I know you're a licensed therapist, right, yes, like.
Speaker 8 (11:31):
Licensed blackmail therapists. I go by fonds a therapists.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Okay, so what are your thoughts about when somebody says
how are you doing?
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Should you answer that? For real?
Speaker 8 (11:39):
I am a big believer. It all depends on who
you talk with. Because there's this thing called the law
conservation of energy, and the states that energy cannot be
created or destroyed.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
It can only transfer.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
So if you're holding it in, if you're not telling
anybody what's going on, it's going to transfer to something else,
like put a holes on walls and puting holes in people.
So it's important to just not tell everybody things are fine.
That's also called tapes of positivity. So it's about just
you know, if somebody's asking you say, you know, I
always tell people I woke up this morning, because that's
the minimum of bling.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Right, I'm existed, I can't, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 8 (12:12):
Just and to talk talk with your therapist, to talk
with a trusted individual. I'm I'm out a believer or
trauma dumping on everybody. But you can't. You can't just
keep everything in because that's it's gonna come out somewhere else.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
All right, So to the right person, you can be honest.
Speaker 8 (12:26):
Yeah, fact, because if we're pushing that narrative, it's going
to take away from from people actually wanting to go
seek out, you know, help for for any mental health
issues in our community where we're already uh, you know,
behind the eight ball on just mental health. And I'm
not a believer of keeping everything in and just making
everything just positive.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Well, thank you, we appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 8 (12:47):
I love your show. Yeah, I love your show. Love
everything that you're doing, and continue to push forward and everybody,
continue to invest in your mental wealth.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
All right, all right, thank you so much. See I'm
feeling better. Hey, Lathoya, how are you?
Speaker 11 (13:00):
Good morning?
Speaker 4 (13:01):
I'm doing okay, Yayatoya.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
So what do you think if somebody asks you how
you're doing, should you say I'm doing great or should
you be honest if you're not doing great?
Speaker 12 (13:10):
I know the hour of life and death is an
our time. So if we're still doing great, we're going
to be doing we say everything is going to be okay,
then everything is going to be okay. Any negative wish
great to our lives is what's going to happen other
than not just always be positive and the electic it happens.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Okay, So you agree with the Guru of the grand
Thanks y colchure, just say great, and that's going to
make you do great even if you're not.
Speaker 12 (13:33):
Absolutely yes, all right, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Hey, Carmita, what do you think about telling people I'm
not doing so good if they ask you?
Speaker 6 (13:45):
So?
Speaker 13 (13:46):
I think it's okay.
Speaker 11 (13:47):
I think you have to find an even balance when
I'm not in a good place. What I would say
is that I'm trying my best. I think you have
to be kind of transparent to health advocates, and it's
important that you let people know how you feel so
that they know how to treat you in any given moment.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
I lost my mom.
Speaker 11 (14:10):
And my sister in twenty twenty four, So I tell
people I'm just trying my best.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
It's not really pouring everything out to them, but it's
also letting them know it's a work in progress.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Right now.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Yeah, all right, listen, My condolence is to you I
know that's not easy. So definitely glad that you called

Marcus Jordan was arrested for DUI Come on, Marcus. He,
according to Copps, got his Lamborghini SUV stuck on the
train tracks, and officers said that the scene all played
out around one fourteen am. They saw his headlights on
the railroad. They approached him. There was bumper damage, kicked
up rocks. They said he was trying to get away
(15:25):
from the area but couldn't. During questioning, they said that
they smelled the strong odor of alcohol from him, and
he told the police. He took a wrong turn. He
need help getting his car off the tracks. They said
he was having a slurred speech and red bloodshot, glassy eyes,
and then initially he was non cooperative, but they got
him out of the car. He admitted to being at
(15:46):
a gentleman's club earlier in the evening.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
And they did these filled sobriety tests.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
He did not do well, and so he did refuse
to provide bread samples once under custody, and so he
was booked on three separate charges DUI crashed with property damage,
possession of cocaine, and resisting an officer without violence.
Speaker 9 (16:06):
Wow, he was sacking up fully off the Julio. I'm glad.
I want nobody hurt.

Real Housewives a Potomac. They have that footage and they
can all wait to put that out receipts.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
All right.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Nick Cannon, according to All hip Hop dot Com, is
being accused of helping Zeus still the wildin' out kind
of type of show that they had that Bad Versus Wild,
and so Viacom is suing Zeus and Nick Cannon. They
said it's a full scale reproduction of Bad of wild'n Out.
It has the same set design format, even having Nick
(16:50):
Cannon as the host himself of the show, and they
said that Zeus has blatantly swiped their intellectual property. I
was just looking at the trailer for Bad Versus Wild?
What did you think when.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
You saw it?
Speaker 9 (17:02):
It definitely gives off similar.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
And especially when Nick Cannon as a host, right, because
if he wasn't the host, you would still be like,
this looks like wilding out.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Right, Because I'm like, didn't he think that it was
some similarities or did he just not care?
Speaker 6 (17:15):
All?
Speaker 11 (17:15):
Right?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Now? The lawsuit says that Nick Cannon's role directly violates
his contract with Viacom. He's not allowed to engage in
projects that compete with or imitate wild'n Out.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
So it's a written agreement.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
We shall see how this goes, but they want Zeus
to hand over profits that were made from Bad versus
Wild and reimburse all legal fees.
Speaker 9 (17:33):
Maybe he ain't look at it like that.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Okay, well they are so it don't matter and Diddy.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
There is a new accuser that says that he was
robbed of his career, of his singing career after a
horrific night where he was drugged and sexually assaulted by Diddy.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
That is the allegation. He says.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
He was an up and coming rapper singer in twenty fifteen.
He landed a nightclub gig in La Did. He showed
up with his entourage and some rock and he says
one of Diddy's associates told him if he did well
did he would talk to him about possibly signing with
bad Boy. He was invited to the VIP section with
Diddy and other well known artists that he said, many
of them were taking drugs. That's what he alleges. Somebody
(18:14):
handed him a drink. He felt lightheaded, blacked out, he said.
Then he saw Diddy and company having group sex around him.
He was in and out of consciousness, and then he
said at some point he woke up to Diddy grabbing
his genitals and he believes that Diddy was performing oral
sex on him. He said he tried to fight back,
but did he threaten to ruin his career, and finally
he made his escape. He said, did he demanded he
(18:36):
have sex with the woman in the room, but instead
he said he need to go to bathroom, and that's
when he ran out.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
And that's that lawsuit.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Wow, all right, Well Diddy has responded, his team has said,
this is a publicity stunt.
Speaker 9 (18:48):
That's crazy.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
That is your Yet when.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
We come back, we have under the radar stories that
are not necessarily in the headlines. They're flying under the radar.
Make sure you wash your pillowcase. That's one of the stories.
So if your pillowcase is nasty, yeah, ill, it could
be absolutely disgusting.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
We'll give it a lowdown on that. It's way up.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Newssition, the news that relates to you. These stories are
flying under the radar.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
It's way up at Angela.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Yee, I'm here with my girl, Cella. We're over here
trying these post Malone Oreo cookies.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
That's not bad. What's in here.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
It's posty swirled salted caramel and short bread flavored cream. Yes, caramel,
let's see one hundred and forty calories.
Speaker 9 (19:34):
It was good.
Speaker 10 (19:35):
All right.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Now let's get into some under the radar stories. So
if you don't wash your pillowcase. They say you have
to wash your bedding every two weeks, at least at
least every two weeks. But are you actually doing that?
And do you include your pillowcases. I do wash my
pillowcases more than my sheets because it's a lot easier.
So I might wash my pillowcases just like randomly, like
(19:59):
at least once a week.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Yeah, ain't nothing like going over a guy house and
his pillows are like tea bags.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Well, if your pillows are stained yellow. They're saying that
after one week of sleeping on the same pillow, your
pillowcase can collect between three and five million colony forming
units of bacteria per square inch. That's seventeen thousand times
the amount of bacteria found on the average toilet seat. Discussing,
(20:26):
how so you said you went to a guy's house
and yeah, his pillowcases were yellow.
Speaker 9 (20:31):
His pillows was like ta bags, meaning old and flat.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
So what do you do?
Speaker 9 (20:36):
You let them know or you leave?
Speaker 3 (20:40):
He say, excuse me, sir, your pillowcase, your pillows look
like tea bags. So and imagine you're putting your face
on that. So and also it's a type of bacteria
that they found so keep in mind every pillowcase is
not the same. It all depends on your health, your hygiene.
I take a shower before I go to bed every night, yes,
and then you know a lot of us wear bonnets
(21:01):
to bed, so it's not like your actual head is
touching the pillow. Yeah, and all of those things randomly.
It's hard for me to sleep with the pillow. I'll
kind of like to sleep flat.
Speaker 9 (21:11):
I like to sleep under the pillow with the pillow.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Over your face.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Right, all right, Now, there is a movement that originated
in Denmark that people are doing.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
It's called the human library.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Instead of borrowing a book, you actually borrow a person.
This idea was established in two thousand. It's to quote
publish people as open books, so a person can ask
questions about someone's life and experience and understand issues better. Now,
these human library projects exist in over seventy countries, even
though it started in Denmark. So imagine you can just
(21:41):
go to the library, a human library and be like,
let's just sit down and talk. And the idea of
it is really to just have people be more open
minded and to kind of get rid of prejudice.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
Right, But I wonder is that a free service. Like
the person who's they following?
Speaker 9 (21:59):
Do they get paid for that?
Speaker 3 (22:01):
I would think if you're there, they can also ask
you questions. Since I go into the library, it's probably free.
Maybe you need a library card.
Speaker 9 (22:07):
Wow, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
You like, if I'm not getting paid, I'm not doing it.
Speaker 9 (22:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
It's all right, Like I said, now in over seventy countries.
That is, you're under the radar. We have the way
Up mix at the top of the hour. Plus I'm excited.
We got James Monroe, Igeheart and Tanya Lewis Lee joining us.
And this is all for the play What a Wonderful World.
It's the Louis Armstrong story, the Lewis Armstrong story, and
that's on Broadway.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
You're gonna love this. Amazing. It's way up.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Plus we have a major announcement next hour. We do, Yes, yes,
we do.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
It's way up.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
She's like the like they Angela Jean, like they Angela Jean.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
And she's spilling it all this is yet.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Well, it's way up at Angela. Yee, my girl, Tella
h is Here's why all right, now let's get into
this yet. So Dj Mustard he is doing his collaboration
with Heinz Mustard.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Finally, you know, I love a business move like that.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
We were actually coming up with ideas here our producer
Dan loves Don Julio.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
We were calling him Dan Julio. That could be a
good collab.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
But he's joining forces, and especially I think after Kendrick
did the Mustard Wow, that's something that is going to
be a big deal. So this collab is actually coming
to life. It's something that has been DJ Mustard said
decades in the.
Speaker 9 (23:31):
Making for him.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
All right, now, Killer Mike issuing the Grammys over his arrest.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Remember when this happened last year.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
He's laying the blame on the private security services that
were hired to work the event. How disrespectful he would
stopped by security on his way to the red carpet
for photos and media interviews, even though, excuse me, he
had won a bunch of awards and had all the
necessary credentials.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
You know how disrespectful that is.
Speaker 9 (23:56):
Yeah, that's cuzy.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
You know won some Grammys, you have all the credentials.
What reason do you have to stop me?
Speaker 4 (24:03):
He said.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Security physically assaulted and battered him by putting their hands
on him and restraining him in full view of onlookers.
He said they caused him emotional distress and public humiliation. Yes,
has that ever happened to you? Been going somewhere security
gets a little buck with you.
Speaker 9 (24:19):
Like, Yeah, that happened to me one time, a long
time ago. Was crazy. That's a whole nother story, but they.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
All right, And comedian Corey Hocum is filing for a
restraining order against another comedian, a woman named Christina Payne.
He claims that she put her hands on him as
his back was turned to her, and in the documents
that were filed yesterday, he also says that she insulted him,
yelled obscenities at him that were worthy of a celebrity roast.
(24:48):
She said, your mother is a b and your d
ain't ish and that's why your risk got broke.
Speaker 9 (24:53):
M That sounded like some little history they got going on.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
He said that risk injury was from skateboarding and not
from masturbating. To clear that up, I don't believe it,
all right, and Cia and Tiny we'll get fifty three
million dollars in punitive damages from the OMD Girls lawsuit
against the Toymaker's MGA if you remember, they actually had
lowered their damages, but now they're saying, after consideration of
(25:17):
the evidence, they are awarding them that fifty three million
impunitive damages. So yes, how long does it take to
get your money from this? Because I feel like this
has been going on for a while.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
All right?
Speaker 3 (25:29):
And Don Lemon is clapping back after Kanye West called
him out on social media. He called him the goofball
that started the rumor that me and my wife got
kicked out of the Grammys. He also called them accoon. Well,
here's what Don Lemon had to say back.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
I did not start a rumor about you being kicked
out of the Grammys.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
I actually corrected it case right.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
And you, of all people calling me a kuon negro
that make America great again, had must be too tight
on your head.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
That is ironic.
Speaker 9 (26:01):
That's a good comeback though.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
All right, Well that is your yet And when we
come back, I have a big announcement to make. My

Cella h shuttle up and it's time for ask you.
We have Esha on the line, what's up, Issha Nothing.
Speaker 14 (29:18):
I had talked to you like sometime last year, and
basically I was talking about how I got the sleeve
and a lot of people just didn't agree with to
give me a hard time, and I.
Speaker 13 (29:29):
Can up getting it anyway. And you told me to
let you know.
Speaker 14 (29:32):
An update, So I'll just letting you know. When I've
talked to you, I was four hundred and fifteen pounds.
That's the biggest I ever been. Yaw, I weighed two
hundred and sixty pounds.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
Oh that's a nice, big difference.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
And I remember when when we spoke right because you
were uncertain and this is your body and other people
weighing in, they have nothing to do whatever decision you make.
Like I said, just make sure you do whatever is safe.
Make sure you go to a licensed professional to get
that work done. So to me about halliween give me
like for anybody else who might be listening and kind
of considering.
Speaker 13 (30:04):
That, you really truly got to do your research. And
it really takes a lot of discipline. With me, I
tried to lose weight on my own. I really just
feel like it's a genetics. All my aunties is big.
Speaker 14 (30:16):
My Mom's big, so I just felt like if I
was born to be big, but I just went through
out that work for me.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
Right, what do you have to do after that?
Speaker 13 (30:25):
In order to prefer for the surgery? You do have
to do a liquid die It's perfectly fourteen days leading
up to your surgery. Day afterwards, you're still on a
liquid diet and basically it's baby stuffs. Like each week
you graduate, you go from liquid.
Speaker 14 (30:39):
To salt foods, to salt foods to like soft vegetables,
and you just work your way up.
Speaker 13 (30:44):
Because your stomach is healing. But other than that, I
just stick to a high protein diet.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
And I do want to ask you, how has this
changed your life other than physically you losing losing the weight, the.
Speaker 13 (30:55):
Clothes that I was wearing at four hundred and fifteen.
Speaker 14 (30:57):
It just surprises me. And I feel like I've always
been a big, confident woman, but it just really made
me put it on more, like you know, I.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Know, that's right, Okay, That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
But I'm happy for you, and I'm so glad you
called to give us this update, and for anybody else
who's thinking about getting the sleeve for them to have
heard you talk about it and talk about what your
experience was like.
Speaker 9 (31:21):
Right, cause four hundred and fifteen pounds, that's a lot.
Speaker 13 (31:24):
It's crazy, it is, it was, And I knew it
was a lot because I started feeling my weight.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
I heard that when you get the sleeve you have
a lot of like droopy skin. How do you feel
about that or did that happen for you or what's
some of your suggestions for people that's going through that.
Speaker 13 (31:40):
I feel like you can't just get the surgery and
just bake the weight lock on that first. You have
to be active, so you have to move. You still
got to work out like it ain't no just I
got the surgeon, I'm gonna just lose the weight. No,
you still have to help the weight go. And I
just feel like if you do like muscle building training
and all of that type, because I don't have that problem.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
All right, six, Well, thank you so much for Colin.
I'm so happy to hear this.
Speaker 13 (32:06):

Speaker 3 (32:09):
Are side, all right, Well, thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
I appreciate it. See that was really dope.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
I was asked yee eight hundred two ninety two fifty
one fifty if we couldn't get through. And when we
come back, we have James Monroe Iglehart. He is the
star of the Lewis Armstrong musical What a Wonderful World,
that's on Broadway now until February twenty third, alongside Tanya
Lewis Lee, who is a producer on this Broadway play.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
It's phenomenal. It's way up.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Yeah, it's gonna turn me up.
Speaker 9 (32:37):
Here we go up again.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
This is way up with Angela ye.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
What's up? It's way up with Angela yee. And I
have two people here that have three names, all right,
Tanya Lewis Lee and James Monroe Iglehart.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
Thank you guys both for joining me today.
Speaker 15 (32:50):
Thank you for having pleasure.
Speaker 6 (32:51):
Thank you so glad to be here.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
I am just blown away.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
I went to go see the play that You're in
a Wonderful World, the story about Lewis Armstrong.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
I was calling Louis Armstrong.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Absolutely incredible. Just seeing you sitting here, James Monroe Igelhart,
you killed that role, that voice you have to do,
because that couldn't be easy, no, but.
Speaker 7 (33:10):
It's a lot of fun to be able to step
into that man's shoes and his life.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
And Tanya Lewis Lee, you are a co producer exactly
of this play.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
So tell me how you ended up getting involved.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
And you know, I admire your work so much from
Aftershock and just the meaning that goes behind everything that
it is that you decide to be involved with.
Speaker 15 (33:29):
I already know is going to be quality work. I
really appreciate that, Angela. It's a story about a black
man in our world and his journey, and I think
it has real impact and its history and it's entertaining.
But I came on to it because I got to
see James and the four amazing women who.
Speaker 9 (33:45):
Were in the show.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Everybody in that show, but yes, all your wives were amazing.
I was like, I don't know who because they all
had a different sound to them, but they all like
blew me away.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
Right now, I'm talking to the.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Star of the Lewis Armstrong musical What a Wonderful World,
James Moreau, I Gohart, and the producer Tanya Lewis Lee
on Broadway. I saw in an interview you said that
Lewis Armstrong would be a rapper today because he was
pretty hood.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Oh he was pretty hood, he was madhood.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
I didn't know anything about his story.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Like I know obviously like the huge songs, but again,
like this was the history of Lewis Armstrong of jazz. Also,
he was from New Orleans and that's where jazz originated.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
And he was madhood.
Speaker 7 (34:29):
I mean, people don't know that Lewis was a battler
and these boys would go had to add horn for horn,
and Lewis rarely lost.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Lewis would flow folks out.
Speaker 7 (34:37):
And he even said, there's this wonderful interview he did
with Dick Cavit years ago where he said, you know,
my kicks was just blowing that cat out the wagon.
You know that he loved that, going head for head,
going after people, battling dudes like rappers do. He was
very very hood and in the best way possible. You know,
he knew how black he was and he was very
appreciative of that and he owned it. He never tried
(35:00):
to be anything else. I think what happened was once
you get to Hollywood, there's a way they want to
present to you, and Lewis never changed himself, but how
they presented him, and that's something he couldn't control. That
was the machine can control how he's presented and they
tried to get water him down. But now when they
said cut, he was still the brother that he was.
And that's what makes him so much fun to me.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
You know, I think some of the things and speeches
and what we saw in this play also is so
representative even today of what's going on.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
I was like, they couldn't have time this bedy.
Speaker 7 (35:31):
He says, I love my country. He goes, but it's
not wrong for black people to be upset at America.
That's not an American. It actually means you're more American
because you care about what happens in your country. There's
a fun moment that we couldn't put in the show
just because it actually named people. But when Lewis spoke out,
You guys, remember when Laura Ingram told Lebron Jameson shut
(35:54):
up and dribble. Okay, Well, when he spoke out about
the Little Rock nine, there was a press release and
could find it where just he says, Louis Armstrong, just
shut up and play. Now, that was during the Eisenhower era,
and it's almost the exact same thing said about Louis
for speaking out that they said about Lebron only a
couple of years ago.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
This happened to Lewis.
Speaker 7 (36:16):
He was blacklisted because he spoke out and said, we
need to be upset. And I know I'm not going
to go to Russia and represent our country unless they
do something about this, you know, going down going on
down there on Little Rock. And once that happened, it
was it.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
What a wonderful world the Lewis Armstrong Story. We have
James Moro Igohard who plays Lewis Armstrong, and we have
Tanya Lewis Lee, who produced this phenomenal Broadway play.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
We have more with them when we come back. It's
way up about to do this.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Yeah, yeah, more way up with Angela on them?
Speaker 2 (36:49):
What it is?
Speaker 4 (36:51):
What's up? His way up with Angela yee.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
And over the weekend I had a chance to go
see What a wonderful world the Lewis Armstrong Story on Broadway.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
Right now, we have the star who did a phenomenal job.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
He's a Tony Award winner, James Monroe, I Gohart alongside
Tanya Lewis Lee, who produced this Broadway musical. So, James Monroe,
you did such an amazing job as Louis Armstrong and
the ladies loved him.
Speaker 4 (37:15):
What's your experience been like, I'm not.
Speaker 7 (37:17):
Louis Armstrong, Okay, I've asked some ladies of a certain
age walk up to me and say some questionable things.
Speaker 4 (37:26):
The show, and I was like that, but you did
a great job.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
I'm like, one, I'm married. In two you could beat
my grandma.
Speaker 4 (37:32):
What happened?
Speaker 2 (37:35):
I listened to Louis and I was.
Speaker 9 (37:38):
Like, ma'am, ma'am, mayam.
Speaker 7 (37:39):
Hold on, I don't want to know.
Speaker 4 (37:40):
I don't want to know what lit it.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
Tanya, you're married to Spike Lee. Do you deal with
the groupie situation when it comes to him?
Speaker 15 (37:46):
You know, Spike and I have been married thirty one
years at this point.
Speaker 9 (37:50):
I don't think so, but you know.
Speaker 15 (37:53):
You done with it in the past, you know, you know,
it's always something, you know, people knocking you over to
get to people.
Speaker 4 (37:58):
But oh, that's so annoying, it is. Yeah, but I'm
all right, and people don't get him over to get
to you.
Speaker 15 (38:03):
Yeah, well.
Speaker 4 (38:05):
You know how it happens exactly.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
James Monroe, I go heart, Yes, that iconic voice.
Speaker 4 (38:10):
How were you able to master that?
Speaker 2 (38:14):
A lot of work?
Speaker 7 (38:15):
It's like going to the gym. The vocal cords is
a muscle and so I have a wonderful vocal coach
named Derrick Rosenblad who helps me out. And I also
see my E and T twice a month to make
sure my chords are okay. But also thanks. My wife
is the most understanding woman in the world. I'm a hermit.
When I go home, I don't talk.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
I'm chilling. If I'm either ready.
Speaker 4 (38:32):
To show the same thing. Yeah, she knows.
Speaker 7 (38:37):
She's like, you know, I walk in and she's like,
should you be talking? I'm like, I have something to say?
Speaker 13 (38:41):
What should you?
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Can you write it down?
Speaker 9 (38:43):
Text me?
Speaker 13 (38:46):
Are so excited?
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Right?
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Can we get my man to play? To train or
not speak?
Speaker 7 (38:53):
Not talk? Because well, so she wed, I made the
joke before, but she'll look at me sometimes you'ld go
listen money. I mean, honey, you be quiet because you
have a job to do, because if I talk too much,
you know, to mess me up. But when I said
I was going to do the role, we had a
deep conversation about how my life and how our life
was going to be. So even the kids are like, pop,
should you be talking? I'm like, you're right right quiet.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
It was such a fascinating story, and you guys. The
whole cast. I was when I'm watching it and I'm
watching just even the choreography of it singing it was,
I was like, how are they not falling off this thing?
Like it was when I tell you, incredible. There's not
a moment that I felt like, even the parts that
were very interactive with the audience, I love that, you
know that we had the opportunity to get involved and
(39:37):
sing along. Although the crowd sounded you know yeah again
everybody came.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Everybody, everybody can be a quiet.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
To be involved, but no, it was amazing. So I
just want to say congratulations. I feel like, and this
is coming to a close on Broadway February twenty third.
Speaker 4 (39:55):
Yebrary catch up button.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
They'll see to come back, you know, because this one
is really special.
Speaker 15 (40:02):
It's a fun show, and I have heard people say, oh,
it's different from what I expected.
Speaker 7 (40:07):
For those of you who love jazz, this is a
show for you. For those of you who just really
love the real Housewives of whatever city, this is the
show for you. For those of you who want to

twenty third to see it. We talked about a lot
of things today. We talked about whether or not if

I'm doing great.

Laugh, just lion saying I'm doing great even if you're not.
But the power of the tongue is something. And for
everybody out there, we can't be complaining all the time
about everything. First of all, other people don't want to
hear that. And you know what I learned, people just
don't care. Like everybody got their own problems. You want
to go and complain all the time, people will start
to avoid you.
