Speaker 6 (06:13):
And when we come back, we have yet.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
And let's talk about flow Rider and his child support payments.
He's going to be having to do a payment package
and it's pretty pricey. It's way up at Angela.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Ye, she's about to blow the lid ab off this bot.
Let's get it.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Oh yeah, angelus feeling that yee te come.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
And get the tea.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
Yes, what's up? It's way up at Angela.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Yee.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
I'm here. I'm Angela yee.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
And John Laster, Yes, i am here, Comedian Filter.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
And Black Founder is here with me.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
And let's talk about flow Rider and his child support judgment. Okay,
now he has an agreement and in that agreement because
he's been in this battle with his exo with child
support payments for quite some time now and so now
he has to pay monthly and annual payments that total
five hundred thousand dollars to Alexis Adams, who is the
mother of his son, Zohard Dillard. He's been diagnosed with
(07:02):
autism and a brain condition that's very rare also, so
it's been I'm sure very rough for the mom having
to deal with this on her own. So neither flow
Writer nor Alexis have issued a statement after the judge's ruling.
They said she's grateful to the court and that it's over.
He agreed to that package again and it's been a
really long and contentious battle back in twenty eighteen, she
(07:23):
claims that he called his child an evil, effing child,
and she made that claim to The Daily Mail when
she gave an exclusive interview about it. They met in
about twenty fifteen, and the details of their meeting and
their relationship are not clear. She didn't get into it
in her interview, but she did say that during her
pregnancy she did lose contact with flow Writer. So now
there's a one time payment of one hundred and eighty
(07:44):
eight thousand dollars for outstanding expenses. He's going to pay
fourteen thousand a month in child support, twenty two hundred
a month in health insurance, and set up a three
hundred thousand dollar escrow account.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
That's a big discount from from fifty thousand dollars a month.
You said, a big discount, Yeah, because he's down in
what fourteen?
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Yeah, he got a fourteen thousand dollars a month in support.
That's the agreement. It's better than fifty, Okay, it is,
but I mean he does have to set up that
ESCO account, and he does have to pay outstanding balances
for expenses, and it's a lot. It's a nine thousand
dollars a month plus medical and school cost that she
has to pay for him. So yes, and floor Rider
(08:25):
also did win an eighty two million dollar lawsuit against
energy drink company Celsius.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Yeah, and he should have got that money. I mean,
I know that you were saying that they too. I
don't know, fifty thousand dollars a month for a child
on never mind, because I know there's gonna be some
women that are like, he should pay that money, but
fifty grand. What are kids gonna do with fifty grand?
But the money that he got from the energy drink
them saying that we made our money after our deal
(08:51):
is nonsensical because once you have equity in something, even
if they sell it, your equity should transfer over.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
To that nowe Yeah, he had one percent right and
he and they made a ton of money, so he
should get paid to he should get Speaking of money,
Kanye's fifty seven million dollar Malibu Manson, remember when he
bought that. According to reports that Manton is rotting away
after the construction company has shut down, and so it
was reportedly designed by his favorite architect. It was supposed
(09:16):
to be a part house, part sculpture. You know, Kanye's
always doing something artsy, but he has and stripped the
entire home down. It's now a concrete space with rusting balconies.
There's also utility pipes under the property that had been
left alongside the beach. According to reports, he bought this,
I guess thinking that he was going to do that,
but he's had some financial things going on. Yeah, as
we know, so maybe he can't do it right now. Yeah,
(09:39):
there's nothing like getting into working on a home. And
I think right now because I'm dealing with that myself. Yes,
you are this house that I bought. You see that
you are they actually started working back on it again,
by the grace of God. But yes, all right, and
now past the Sarah Jakes Roberts. She snatched her wig
off mid sermon. I guess it started slipping out of place.
(10:00):
She was on the stage, and I mean this was,
you know, heartfelt sermon. Listen, do you think the woman
would as you are blind?
Speaker 7 (10:08):
She look like the woman.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
All right, I'm not to take it out.
Speaker 12 (10:14):
Sometimes you need to see it from the platform, so
you could do it with your platform.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Other women that had taken off their own wigs. People
enjoyed this man. And we all know that feeling when
our wigs start slipping. You try to fix it, it
might be crooked, it don't look right. You gotta just
pull your wig off. So imagine being there and you're like,
I know how it feels. And she posted, I've always
enjoyed getting dressed up and looking my best. I also
(10:42):
have worked really hard to separate my worth and identity
from my appearance. I can be ful glam one day
in fresh, hyper pigmented face the next. Today I was preaching,
I could film my wig slipping. My message was more
important to me than maintaining my appearance. So I took
it off, locked in and kept preaching. All right, and
that is your When we come back, we have about
last night. That's where we talked about, well we did
(11:04):
last night or over the weekend, and it was a
holiday weekend and I did some.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Think it was my birthday weekend.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
It was your birthday weekend. We're gonna talk about that.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
John Laster is here way up at Angela Yee last night.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
So about last.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Night, last night, last nights.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
I went down.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Yes, it's way up at Angela.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
Ye, I'm Angela Yee and my funny comedian friend and
founder of Blap. Yes, he's into tech ladies and gentlemen.
John Laster is here. Yes, this is about last night. Now,
it was your birthday over the weekend.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
It was my birthday over the weekend.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
How does John Laster celebrate his birthday?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
John Laster keeps it real low key. Now did I
say my name like third party?
Speaker 6 (11:44):
That's my I said, you.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Set me up for that. Yeah, it's real locate now.
So yeah, I didn't do much actually, to be honest
with you, on my birthday, I hosted four shows.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
That's a lot.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Yeah, So I hosted the Brunch show and then I
hope three shows that night at the cellar. So I
was working like literally from two to two in the morning.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
And for everybody, the seller in New York is a
big deal for comedian's greatest comedy.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Yeah, yeah, on earth by no.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
One never knows who is going to show up.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Chappelle was there the last few days for sure.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
So while I was in Yellow Springs, where Dave Chappelle
is from.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
He was in New York and he was here.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Yeah, So for me over the weekend, for about last night,
I was actually in Yellow Springs. Dannell Rawlings does this
Donell Land Love Experience.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
Now, Donnell Rowlings is also a.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Comedian, hilarious, and so he actually started this kind of
as a family thing. He sets it up as a
carnival and all these activities. There was a huge kickball game,
the Streets versus the Creeks. Now, in full disclosure, I
am the captain of the Streets team. Last year we won.
This year, I didn't make it on time. He told
(12:55):
me the game started at nine. Now you know, if
you tell me it starts, ane am, I'm thinking no
one's going to get there till ten, right right?
Speaker 6 (13:04):
You would think that too right, no.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
One's gonna I'm like, we were out last night at
the comedy club with him, with Donelle. He had Flame
Monroe actually hosting his comedy show that was sold out.
He also had don Be there, He had Adrian, there
were some hilarious comedians, Marshall Brandon, all of them were there.
And then I'm like, okay, we were up late, so
I don't know if he's going to really be at
(13:27):
this kickball game at nine am. So he tells me nine.
So I'm thinking, okay, I'm gonna get up around nine
and then get there nine thirty. Donell calls me, oh,
so will you what? I was still in the bed,
so I'm the captain. So my team did lose, but
I think part of it was because I wasn't there,
you know, and they cheated. I heard cheated, and I
(13:48):
got that ballball from what I heard, the creeks were cheating.
But that's what happened. And it's really nice though, as
a getaway, just to go to Yellow Springs. There's cornfields everywhere,
there's cows, there's horses, all these things that I'm not
used to seeing in my everyday life out in New
York City. Right, and everybody's very pleasant and nice. We
(14:10):
had a great time. So shout out to everybody that
was with Dina and Donell does this like for the community,
for the kids.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
And what I like about it is a lot of
people from Yellow.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Springs come out, and so you never want to live
in a community because he actually lives in Yellow Springs.
And another thing that brought a tear to my eye
is done now owns a house and so he bought
a house out there. It's a beautiful house that he's
been customizing just the way that he likes it. And
so it's nice to see your friends who you've known
for a really long time.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
We've come a long way, baby.
Speaker 6 (14:41):
Come a long way.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
He has a pool.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
We've come a long way.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
He has a hammock that if you sit on it,
you flip right off.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
I don't know if that's by design, but yees. So
that was my Memorial Day weekend. I really enjoyed just
spending some times just being chilled. I did a little karaoke.
I feel like in karaoke of all, I was gonna
do Poundtown, but then I checked the temperature of the
room and I didn't think people would know that song,
and then it felt little inappropriate because there were some
older people there and there's some very racy lyrics in
(15:10):
that song. So instead I did a very slow song.
And then my friend Dahlia came. She did Tina Turner
that was like, you know the cheat code. Yeah, she
did Proud Mary, and then people got up and started dancing.
So shout out to just Pam and Don Bee and everybody.
We had a good time just being around friends. But
when we come back, we have gurus up the gram.
(15:32):
Now you know, everybody on social media is now a
guru about somebody. Some people are legitimate, though some people
are legitimate. All right, now, let's talk about this one.
This is Ian Dunlap. He's an investor and he talks
about how men get thrown off from their purpose. He
was on The Roommate's podcast and he was discussing what happens.
(15:55):
Listen to this.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
The number one thing that throws off most men from
their purpose is woman hard balance because we all want
that attention, admiration, affection. Most men when they tell me,
yo'all don't have time to invest, I'm like, I'm seeing
you chasing ninety women around who don't want you. I
think men chase a lot of women or play too
much because they're not clear on what that path or
purpose is. And then also when you lose your focus,
they stop focusing on you. O.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Brother Ian is definitely a guru. I like to nominate
brother to talk about it.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
Eight hundred nine fifty one fifty is a number called
this Epic's Gurus of the Gram. Do you agree with this?
Is Brother Ian a guru? Or are you like, nah,
he don't know what he's talking about his way up
at Angela.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Ye, they caught that talk.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
But is he kamp Nah?
Speaker 1 (16:40):
They are Gurus of the Gram?
Speaker 5 (16:42):
Yes, it is way up at Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee.
And my boy John Laster is here with me today.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Yes, comedian and founder of Black he's in the tech world.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
I am now.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
I didn't know you were such a genius. And we're
doing Gurus of the Gram. We're talking about Ian Dunlap.
He was on The Roommate's podcast and here's what he
had to say about you guys getting distracted.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
The number one thing that throws off most men from
their purpose is women. And it's a hard balance because
we all want that attention admiration affection. Most men when
they tell me, yo, I don't have time to invest,
I'm like, I'm seeing you chasing ninety women around who
don't want you. I think men chase a lot of
women or play too much because they're not clear on
what that path or purpose is. And then also when
you lose your focus, they stop focusing on YouTube and
(17:28):
you know what.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Okay, So I was going to give my perspective before
you give yours, John, I want to say, it sounds
like the right women would help you be more focused.
Maybe these are just not the right women. So what
are your thoughts?
Speaker 4 (17:40):
I totally agree that the right women, But I also
think that sometimes women don't even know, Like sometimes you
could be in love with somebody and want them to
be around a lot more, you know what I'm saying,
not knowing that you're squeezing the life out of their career.
I don't know what It's always intentional, but I will
say this. I told a bunch of young comedians one time,
if I had to mentor someone will who was an
addict or someone who is just completely addicted to women,
(18:04):
I would rather take the addict, because women you cannot
cure that problem.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
You can't.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
No, you cannot. Guys who get distracted by women. I
can't tell you how many comedians I know that have
gone by the wayside because some women was like, Oh,
why are you doing this? Or why you gotta go
you gotta go out this. This is what they start
hitting me at first, you gotta go out every night.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
And then you do because even on your birthday you
said you did four shows.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
My birthday, I did. I did four shows and I
would say it's almost five shows because we had a
special guest down there that did an extra hour. That's
almost another show.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
Well is that so does that mean in a relationship
you would have still did five shows inship day?
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Absolutely, I would be with someone who understood what it
takes for me to get where I'm.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
Trying to go to five shows.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
No, I didn't. I wouldn't drag my significant other with
me birthday.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Do something after these jokes?
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Yo, you know what, that is very true. You know what,
there's nothing more beautiful though. This is a convenient with
his girl there and she's still laughing.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Yeah, she's like he's so funny.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Yeah, guys were.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
About that, But jess, what are your thoughts about gurus
of the gram.
Speaker 11 (19:20):
Honey, how are you again?
Speaker 6 (19:23):

Speaker 5 (19:29):

being distracted?
Speaker 11 (19:32):
Okay, let me tell you some angela I had to
pull I was driving, I had to pull over to
call a fat because I a thousand Christian like agree
because for one, I say that, you know, just don't
know themselves like that, and when just don't know themselves,
they're gonna look for a validation and having femos to
(19:54):
try to feed their either you feel me, and I
always say this, right, the who don't know himself is
the who's going to search for validations amongst women. And
then if you don't understand yourself, you want to bring
all types of issues when the women did not even
act for that.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
Okay, So look, he is a guru.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
Have you have you down somebody off their pad?
Speaker 7 (20:21):
Well?
Speaker 11 (20:21):
Okay, so yes, because I'm a type of female I know,
like really, I'm the type of female where at the
end of the day, I've been in so many issues
with dudes, So I'm like, okay, dudes are going to
be dus So now I got to switch up.
Speaker 9 (20:34):
How I do it.
Speaker 11 (20:35):
So what I do is I start asking dudes about themselves.
What do you like, what makes you happy? Where do
you see yourself in the future. Do you live on
your own or do you have you know, like a roommate.
And when you ask dudes about themselves, if they think
hard about it, then that's a big red site for me. Okay,
like you don't really know yourself like that, and all
(20:56):
you just focus on is for females.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
Okay, all right, well thank you. She sounds like a Hey, Keith,
what's up?
Speaker 9 (21:05):
Angela? What's going on?
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Are you doing good?
Speaker 8 (21:07):
How are you?
Speaker 6 (21:08):
John Last is here too.
Speaker 7 (21:09):
I'm doing pretty good. What's happy?
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Man? How you doing?
Speaker 9 (21:12):
My brother?
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Really good? Brother?
Speaker 5 (21:14):
What are your thoughts about Dunlap Gurus up the gram man?
Speaker 7 (21:18):
I've been following in for for years, man. And what
he's saying is fact he's kind of one of the
guys that helped me grow financially. And I'm having that
problem right now. You know what I'm saying. Once I
kind of deal with a runner, I kind of lose
focus of my financial goals or business because you're trying to,
(21:39):
you know, juggle what's going.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
On and the moment, the moment.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
We kind of like split up, break up, or whatever
the case may be. It's a running joke with my homeboys.
We always boss up one of one of them truck man.
So it does have it does have some type of
truth to it.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
But how how she how is but how is she
taking you off course?
Speaker 7 (22:02):
Bro? Like?
Speaker 4 (22:02):
What does she do? Is it vacations? Is it? I
want some jewelry? Yet? Like what path is is? Would
you go?
Speaker 7 (22:08):
So? When I'm yeah, I feel you. So when I'm
locked in on my business, I'm always we kind of
not argue, but I find a hard time balancing my
relationship side of things. And I focus solely on my
business when hitting numbers. And then when I say, all right,
I'm gonna take a break and kind of laying there
(22:28):
and on my lady, that's when my baby, my company
starts to kind of you know, have a few hiccups
here there. When she all know, that's my oversight or
you know what I'm saying, that's that's her.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
She's encouraging you to stay home more often, or or
not keeping home.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
More, you know, spend time Whenever I said I gotta
go run and do something and it's going for like
she don't say nothing, but you can tell the whole mood.
Speaker 6 (22:58):
Yes, yes, go do what you gotta do.
Speaker 7 (23:02):
You know.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
You know how I've described it in the past is
women are like are like bowl constrictors. They wrap around
you and just squeeze you a tiny bit of the
time before you just and then you lay in there dead. Yeah, yeah, absolutely,
absolutely sounds like yeah you still got that.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
Yeah, you still have that balance though, you know, you
gotta keep them happen, so you gotta sacrifice some stuff
at the business too, you know what I'm saying. Uh,
And I guess that comes with the financial part of it.
That's one thing I want to ask in like, okay,
so but what if you had an assistant to handle this,
that and the other while you out you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
So, I guess there's a level which is time.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
But thank you for calling in.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
Absolutely have a good.
Speaker 6 (23:48):
One you too, all right?
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Well that was Guru of the Graham Dunlap on The
Roommate's podcast. In it sounds like people agree with you.
He is indeed a guru. Guru and for all you
guys out there, y'all better fit you're out of way
to not get distracted. If you're in a relationship, how
do you get your work done?
Speaker 4 (24:04):
Good luck?
Speaker 5 (24:05):
All right, Well, when we come back, we have yet
we'll be talking about The Little Mermaid.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
Memorial Day box office numbers.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
It's way up at Angela Yee, they says in the rooms.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
From industry shade to all the gossip out, Angela's spiling
that EyeT.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
Yes, it is way up at Angela Yee. I'm Angela
Yee and comedian and tech investor and app creator, creator
of Black John Laster is here with me, and it's
time for that Yet. Now let's talk about The Little Mermaid,
which you love. John, I know you were so excited
about this. The Little Mermaid has crushed Memorial Day box
(24:42):
office with one hundred and eighteen million dollars in their
opening over the four day holiday weekend. It's the fifth
highest Memorial Day opening of all time. In the international market,
it grows sixty eight point three million, and the film
had a budget of two hundred and fifty million, so
it's definitely going to break even even more than even
(25:03):
more than.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
Even even more than even now.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
I saw I'm looking at Forbes and they said, it
looks like something fishy is going on with The Little Mermaids.
Rotten Tomato user reviews, They said, I fully expected this
movie to fare better with critics than with audiences, given
how the culture wars normally work. The critics score is
just sixty seven percent, while audiences are giving it a
whopping ninety five percent. So what is going on with that?
(25:27):
There's been so much drama surrounding this movie. But that's
why I'm I'm really happy that it did really well.
People had issues with Halle being a Little Mermaid because
she's black, Like mermaids exist in real life and should
be white.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
It's unbelievable. You know what else is a bit annoying
about that. You don't hear that outrage when they take
all the times that they've taken people that were of
color and use a white person.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Right, Yeah, Well we're starting to No, we're starting we're
starting to now because we're like, uh, but I'm.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Saying they don't have the same outrage. I mean, it's
not like, oh, no, that should be a black person.
It would be nice if they did that, if the
Egyptians and all the Africans in Tarzan, and you know,
what I mean all the times that they put white
people in places that you know they shouldn't be like Jesus.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
But yes, and I saw some people but whatever. Congratulations.
That's a lot more period. Okay, all right, now let's
talk about Megan the Stallion.
Speaker 10 (26:23):
So she was.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
Spotted out with Belgian soakker star Roma Lukaku, Lukaku? Yes,
am I saying it right? Lukaku?
Speaker 4 (26:33):
That's it?
Speaker 5 (26:34):
Yes, And she was at the wedding of one of
his teammates and she was spotted with him. So there's
a viral video that's been circulating on social media where
the two of them are sitting next to each other
as they are celebrating. And they said, it's unclear if
she actually attended as his date, but they're both repped
by rock Nation.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
What does that have to do with who you go
to a wedding with. Yes, that's his date. Come on, stop,
that represents you, They represent people should go to the
wedding to get known.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
And people noted that she did go to a game
earlier on her Instagram. There's a picture you know, she
posted from the game, so it'd be something.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
He's not giving away tickets to Brando's.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
The question is this. I guess that would mean that
her and partisan Fontaine broke up, So we don't know,
but I guess that's her business when she gets it together.
I'm sure at some point.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Well maybe they were in an open relationship.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
Okay, that's true. I doubt it, but okay, I doubt
it too. All right Now, in other news, Quentin Tarantino,
they are saying allegedly paid ten thousand dollars to lick
a woman's feet until they looked like prunes.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
Have you ever done that?
Speaker 4 (27:42):
No? And that's going to be an all right.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
So this all was described by a man who is
known as Paige rad He's a senior staffer at a
Hollywood strip club called Crazy Girls, and he was on
a podcast called Get in a Car where he alleged
that he saw this happen.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
I think we've all licked feet before.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
Not all of us. I have never done that, but
not till they look like prunes. Have you done that?
Speaker 4 (28:10):
You need to grow up?
Speaker 6 (28:12):
But you're not doing it like Quen Tarantino's doing it.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
You need to grow up.
Speaker 6 (28:16):
I hate to do this. By the way, have you
ever paid to lick feet?
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (28:19):
No?
Speaker 4 (28:20):
First of all, I don't have any money.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
To lick feet ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
I'd have to bar some money to lick someone's feet.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
That maybe some feet that's not that nice.
Speaker 6 (28:28):
And then you can maybe get a discount.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Get a discount from two thousand.
Speaker 6 (28:32):
So you are you, You're a regular.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
Absolutely Nazi. You just took it too far. Nobody said that.
I said, everybody's done it one time.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
At one time.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
You turned me into a foot liquor. Yeah, everybody's tried it.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
Once, Okay, And how was it horrible?
Speaker 4 (28:45):
That's why I didn't go back.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Why was it horrible? We got to talk about this,
so we don't I cannot wait it all right, I'll
fill y'all in in a minute. But when we come back,
we have under the radar, and y'all got to avoid
these scammers. I just got a scam text mess. This
is right now from quote the irs. All right, it's
way up at Angela Yee under the radars, next.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
News edition in the news that relates to you. These
stories are flying under the radar.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
All right, it's way up at Angela Yee. I'm Angela
Yee and John last is here with me. Was u
John is so funny. John is a comedian also the
founder of black Make sure y'all download that app. Download that.
Now it's time for under the Radar. These are stories
that we definitely feel like you should know about. This
one's important. I just got a text message about a scam. Right,
and by the way, I was watching Good Morning America today.
(29:34):
Eight point eight billion dollars have been lost to scams
in twenty twenty two, and one point two billion of
those were via social media. Now, I just got a
text messages from the quote IRS. I already knew immediately
this was a scam just by the email address. It says,
IRS dash govd CKFBI three nine six at doctor chloeextremadora
(29:56):
dot com.
Speaker 6 (29:57):
Do you think I believe this is the sending me
an email?
Speaker 5 (30:02):
Then there's a PDF saying that I am about to
get a third round of economic impact payment status that's available.
All I had to do is click this link to
claim my payment and they sign it your faithfully internal
revenue service.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
And don't worry about your empty bank account. Right.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
And then it says that if I put in any
wrong information, I will be criminally pursued and indicated. All
these things. Let me know this was a scam, but
you know, some people don't know. And one woman in particular,
Deborah Moss, she's the owner of a small catering business.
She found herself in a very sophisticated bank scam. It
started with a harmless text message, so she thought she
(30:41):
ended up losing one hundred and sixty thousand dollars that
she cannot get back out right because they're saying that
it's not the bank's fault, it was her fault. She
received a call from someone claiming to be a rep
from Chase Bank. The caller ID displayed the bank's name.
On the other end of the line was an individual
identifying herself as Miss Barbara. Miss Barbara Yes, she requested
(31:02):
permission from her to issue a new debit card to
resolve some alleged fraudulent charges. Now MOS says Miss Barbara
told that she needed to verify her identity, and she
told her to read the numbers from a text message
that was sent to her. You know how you get
a text message to verify and she did really get
that text message. That text message really was from the bank,
and so she said she repeated the numbers to her
(31:23):
and then this happened several times.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
They said there was a problem with the delivery of
the card.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
These times she had to verify her identity by reading
back the numbers. By the time this is all said
and done, she lost her entire life savings of nearly
one hundred and sixty thousand dollars. She said it took
her twelve years to get that money and that was
everything that she had. So, like we said, there's been
a surge thirty percent service from the previous year with
all this scamming that's been going on.
Speaker 6 (31:48):
Now, Good Morning America.
Speaker 5 (31:49):
They had Robert Herjevik from Shark Tank actually giving advice
for people, and I want everybody to listen to this, okay,
and be careful. But here's what he had to say
about spotting these online scams.
Speaker 14 (32:00):
It used to be older people are really young people.
But with everybody working from home, we've all let our
guard down. And what we always tell people is if
it's too good to be true, it is look.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
At the email address.
Speaker 14 (32:14):
If it doesn't have the actual address of the bank
in there, it's not real. And the other thing is,
no bank or financial institution will ever ask for your
pin number or personal data.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
Yeah, and unfortunately for this woman, Deborahma, she was not
able to get her money back.
Speaker 6 (32:32):
They said it was kind of her fault.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
They said, during our review, we found you did not
take the appropriate steps to protect your account from theft
or unauthorized youth. So now she has devastated. She said,
her world has fallen apart.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
You know what's scary to me though, is that the
Chase bank is showing up on her phone. Yeah, that's
the scary part because most of the time when these
things call, it some weird number, right, it's from some
odd country code or something. That's scary though.
Speaker 5 (32:57):
That it's right. Yes, So I just want to say
for myself because I get a lot of these calls
and with AI too, that's not helping either, where it's
like some recorded and you believe it's really something. So
just never give out your personal information over the phone.
And if something goes on, call the bank. Call the
number that is for your bank. Don't let somebody call you.
Call the bank to be like I'll call you back.
(33:19):
Call the bank and be like someone called me for this,
and I'll verify it because there's a deal that I'm
doing and they sent me an email and we're like
they were, like, Angela, you know, there's been so much
for all going on just before you send out any money.
Speaker 6 (33:31):
This is the wire information.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
But I've called to verify you called my contact there,
just to make sure at the bank that it was
them and not somebody trying to scam, because that's definitely happening.
So I just want to make sure that we are
super aware of those things, all right, and that is
you're under the radar.
Speaker 6 (33:47):
We do have the Way Up mix at the top
of the hour.
Speaker 5 (33:49):
Plus we have tomorrow's leaders coming through today and these
are some I have three teenagers who just graduated from
high school, but it did take them some extra time,
and they're going to Blaine what was going on in
their lives and how they were able to get through her.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
Right, it's way up at Angela Yee.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
She's like a talk like they Angela Jean, like they
Angela jee.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Man, She's spilling it all. This is yet way up.
Speaker 5 (34:15):
Yes, it is way up at Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee,
and John Laster is here with me. I'm up in here,
up in here, comedian and founder of BLAP. Yes, all right,
congratulations to Chanel Emon and a divine god child. They
are now engaged. He proposed with a huge diamond ring
New England Patriots defensive tackle. They were having a vacation
(34:38):
in Italy and it was all captured on camera, and
so she posted on Instagram today. First of all, I
can't even lie. I was nervous as hell. Oh no,
he said, He said, I never thought I would be
getting down on one knee. But love will make you
do some amazing things in life, Chanelle, I love you
so much and I wouldn't have rather s been this
moment with no one else by my side. So congratulations.
(35:00):
Love is a beautiful thing.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
It's on my bucket list.
Speaker 6 (35:03):
Love is on your bucket list getting it?
Speaker 4 (35:05):
Have you ever proposed No, I'm like, I'm do.
Speaker 6 (35:09):
You think it would be a traditional get down on
one knee?
Speaker 4 (35:11):
Oh? Absolutely, I'm gonna. I'm probably gonna dialoge now No,
I'm serious. Why, Yeah, I don't know. It's so sad.
You know. One of my friends the other day, he
came into the club right we was at work, and
he was like, I just met this girl. She's so beautiful.
It's a true story. And he said, and I don't know, man,
I just got all these butterflies, and without even thinking,
I swear to God, I looked at him. I said,
(35:32):
I think all my butterflies are dead.
Speaker 5 (35:35):
Somebody, what is Somebody? Hit up John if you're available.
He's looking for love. There's a lot of women out
there that would appreciate a man with a sense of humor,
with the entrepreneurial spirits. Okay, he's tall, Ladies, I am okay,
that's it.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (35:53):
Any other qualities.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
I don't think I have any other qualities.
Speaker 5 (35:58):
I'm about to be well, say no more. Let's see fluid. Now,
let's get into Kendrick Lamar and Baby Keem. They have
just released a new song and a video to go
along with it. It's called The Hillbillies. Here's a little
snippet for y'all.
Speaker 15 (36:14):
Man, she get them girls off the stage because somebody's
gonna get take and somebody's gonna invade on on one
on one conversation. I'm ducked off from the world. I'm
immersed in the playstage girl.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
Ooh, it's a great song for you as you look
for the right one. Tyler the Creator makes a quick
appearance in the video as well. By the way, if
you get a chance to watch that, this sounds like
it's gonna be really big in the club, on TikTok everywhere,
So should be a fun one. I feel like it's
gonna be in heavy rotation up here too. You think
the Hillbillies, the Hillbillies, all right? Shannon Sharps his house
(36:47):
was burglarized and one million dollars worth of belongings were stolen.
Speaker 6 (36:51):
According to TMZ.
Speaker 5 (36:52):
They said his house was broken into when he wasn't
home on May nineteenth, between seven and nine thirty pm.
Speaker 6 (36:57):
He got home after having.
Speaker 5 (36:58):
Some dinner with some friends and noticed that some of
his belongings were missing, and so that is the value
of those belongings, jewelry, watches, designer bags. There was no
signs of forced entry, and an investigation is ongoing now.
Speaker 4 (37:13):
I always wonder when you hear about people who have
these expensive houses, what type of security.
Speaker 5 (37:19):
System do you have a lot of times it's an
inside job, though it's gotta be. Yeah, it has to
be family and.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
Friends, right, giving off the code or something, because I don't.
Speaker 5 (37:27):
Know how house keepers that come. There's people that have
to come and take care of your house. You never
know and so hopefully the cameras were working and you
get to see who it was. But that still feels
like a violation to be able to have to go
and deal with that. All right. Now, let's get into
some beef that I did not anticipate happening on social media,
and this was between DJ Drama and Meek Mill. Now,
(37:49):
Meek Mil posted DJ Drama a goofy over these holes.
He won't speak good on me. I tore him up
in the A I think he means in Atlanta, right, yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:57):
I hope so.
Speaker 5 (38:00):
Now Meek Mile said, I asked Drama why he's always
sneaking down on me with a few other words too,
told him he's a goofy. I also hit him when
he tried to compare dreams and nightmares to I want
to rock and downplay me. Don't let these industry lanes
use you. They don't really even like you smh lol.
And then he also posted an alleged text message with
him and Drama where Drama said, ISH ain't got nothing
(38:20):
to do with no bees. To be honest, I don't
even speak on all the real sucker iss you'd be doing.
Speaker 6 (38:25):
That's the crazy part. You just did it to me
again for the Tiny.
Speaker 5 (38:27):
Dest podcast if my whole rollout up and wasn't even
man enough to just tell me no.
Speaker 6 (38:32):
So not sure.
Speaker 5 (38:33):
Behind the scenes, it feels like they have a lot
of issues with each other. Meek Mile said, if they
asked me about DJ Drama and Kalid, I wouldn't speak.
And I made millions on paper with Kalid, I'll stay silent.
I'm from Philly and we don't wear our fitted hats
like that Drama shop at mitchellin Ness. Then he Elsa
says that Drama never did real charity and Philly in
his life, and he said the biggest mistakes you can
make in this game is having sex with the wrong females.
(38:55):
Jealous men will try to destroy you quietly or find
out a way to dislike you. Y'all can keep them girals,
my family and friends more. It's sad lol. So I
don't know what's really going on. But DJ Drama posted
on his Instagram stories and uh he shared a text
from Meek where he criticized him over the interview, and
(39:15):
you know, it's just a lot going on between these
two yo.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
I kind of like the disc though about no charity.
Speaker 6 (39:22):
Well, you not know Phil, because if.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
They started going back and forth about that, a lot
more charity to be getting done out of here.
Speaker 5 (39:30):
Let's put up. Listen, all right, well that is your
yee tea. And speaking of putting up, when we come back,
let's talk to John Laster about his at BLAP. I've
been telling you guys about this all morning. He's a
founder of BLAP. We're gonna learn more about that when
we come back. It's way up at Angela yee.
Speaker 1 (39:47):

Speaker 6 (39:59):
So it's a good friend of mine.

But other than that, he's an amazingly funny comedian and
you're also an entrepreneur. So let's discuss this app well.
First of all, let's discuss your birthday weekend. You worked
all weekend I did. Now, who are some of the
people that you saw on things that you did?
Speaker 4 (40:15):
You know what? I was down at the world famous
best comedy club in the world, the Comedy Seller. That's
where I worked. It was four.
Speaker 5 (40:21):
Shows and that's where a lot of comedians come to
New York and they're like, I got to get some
time at the Comedy Seller.
Speaker 6 (40:26):
That's kind of when you know you made it.
Speaker 4 (40:28):
Yes, yes, so we have some drop in. Chappelle came
through this weekend, killing it hilarious. Ray Romano, the usual suspect.
I mean, the shows are start studded and the comedians
that worked there, some that you don't know, are hilarious.
Speaker 5 (40:42):
Because to even get in, you have to be hilarious.
Speaker 4 (40:44):
Oh it's yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it's very difficult.
Speaker 5 (40:47):
For some people. You saw a break there that are
like newer in their careers.
Speaker 4 (40:51):
What do you mean break though?
Speaker 5 (40:52):
Like where they you know, when they finally were like
you know, you saw them finally come through there and
be able to Because you're a veteran right in this,
you mean, who are like some of the newer ones
that are you like, Yo, they're next?
Speaker 4 (41:03):
Oh man, there's a bunch of them. Man. There's uh
Daniel Simonson from Norway. There's uh my buddy Ethan Simmons.
Patterson is really really funny. Eagle Wits really really funny.
Speaker 5 (41:16):
Caitlin Paloufo, I always talk about the amazing night that
you had that was all went viral, insane, insane. Tell
everybody that was there at the Comedy Seller so they
understand the power of this room that you host. That's
your job.
Speaker 4 (41:29):
That's probably like the best organic comedy show to ever
come together ever. But that was my buddy Ryan Hamilton.
Jerry Seinfeld then went up after Ryan Hamilton. Uh no,
David Tail did David Tail, then Jerry Seinfeld, then Amy Schumer,
then A Z's I'm sorry, and then Chris Rock and
(41:52):
then Dave Chappelle.
Speaker 5 (41:53):
Good, can you like, has it ever happened anywhere?
Speaker 7 (41:56):
No?
Speaker 5 (41:56):
So that's an amazing and that spontaneously happened at the.
Speaker 4 (42:00):
So funny because Chappelle went on stage. People are going
ballistic right at the end of the show. Of course,
Dave Chappelle's all stage and Dave said, calm down, Kat
Williams is next. Calm down, Kat Williams is coming up next.
But it was it was, Yeah, that was insane.
Speaker 8 (42:18):
All right.
Speaker 5 (42:19):
Now, let's talk about Blap because I had you up
here previously to talk about your app Blap, so let
people know what that is.
Speaker 4 (42:25):
Blap is my my app that is killing it to
geolocated app. Let you know where all the black owned
businesses are around you. We're also building an e commerce
platform though as we speak, So if you know any
black female computer science you know, developers, please let me know. Yes,
you can never find these people. It's really sad. But
(42:46):
the app's going well. We I think we're around seven
eight hundred downloads away from sixty thousand. So if you guys,
if you guys downloaded, we'll hit sixty thousand download today.
So please download Black the App today.
Speaker 5 (42:58):
And I remember when you started this app, and so
I know right now you're in the process of getting investors, right, Yes,
it's always a process, Yes it is. What are some
tips you would give to other entrepreneurs out there as
far as when you give up equity equity in order
to get some cash in Flux?
Speaker 4 (43:16):
Yeah, yeah, equity is like permanent ownership you know of
the app, And I mean it's the best time to
get in these things is the beginning. So yeah, I'm
always looking for investors because this round is probably going
to close in like the next week or two. To
be honest with you.
Speaker 5 (43:31):
Yeah, we were talking earlier about flow Rider and how
he had one percent of Celsius and that ended up
being worth eighty two million dollars when you sue them
to get his money that they didn't pay him when
they sold.
Speaker 4 (43:41):
Yeah, I mean. And the other thing too, is like
a lot of times oftentimes like because we're unfamiliar with
the terms, it seems intimidating to us as black folks,
you know what I mean. And it's really not all
that complicated once you get in, especially if you get
in early. People wonder like, how do these people make
millions and millions of dollars?
Speaker 5 (43:57):
They all got in early or a lower price. It's
also hard for us, I feel like, to ask for
money sometimes. It's really difficult to go to people and
be like, hey, can you invest them?
Speaker 4 (44:07):
And it was really difficult for me. It was, yeah,
you know what I mean, because first of all, you know,
you have to keep in mind that the average net
worth of black households is one tenth of white households.
Speaker 6 (44:19):
And they're able to get that money.
Speaker 5 (44:20):
Well, look, we're going to talk more about this, but
when we come back, we are going to be talking
to tomorrow's leaders and YC.
Speaker 6 (44:26):
Now, these are students, and.
Speaker 5 (44:27):
I know we all care a lot, or we should
care about what teenagers have to say. About what's going
on in the world. But tomorrow's leaders. They're over age students,
but they're they're graduating, so that's an amazing accomplishment for them.
And we're going to talk about some of the obstacles
that they face, but also what's going on in the
world when it comes to bullying, when it comes to
social media, when it comes to music, all of those things.
Speaker 6 (44:48):
It's way up at Angela ye.
Speaker 1 (44:49):
I'm back. You've been way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 5 (44:56):
Yes, it's way up at Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee
and I'm here with John.
Speaker 4 (45:00):
What's happening.
Speaker 5 (45:01):
We were just talking to you about your app lap
and John is a comedian. I'm looking at Roywood Jr.
Speaker 4 (45:07):
Hilarious.
Speaker 5 (45:08):
He put, if you bring a bottle to the barbecue function,
and I know there were a lot of barbecues over
the weekend Memorial Weekend, but nobody cracks it open. Does
possession revert back to the attendee or does the homeowner
retain possession for use at a future function per barbecue
Statute Cove fifty four four nine. Now you think that,
(45:30):
do you get to take the bottle with you? If
you brought it and no one drank it, or do
you have to leave it?
Speaker 4 (45:35):
I think you should get to take it with you,
you know what I mean. First of all, it's disrespect
for your gift that no one cracked it. You don't
have to drink the whole bottle if somebody had to
crack it.
Speaker 5 (45:47):
I think that if you bring a bottle, you should
crack it too, right, Like if you bring a bottle
to a function, you should bring a bottle to something
that you like or everyone, or that the homeowner likes.
Speaker 4 (45:56):
Everyone brings something that they like. But I mean not
just saying that everybody don't like what you brought, you know.
Speaker 5 (46:02):
What I mean, Or maybe there's a lot of liquor
sometimes everybody done, but stuff very true, very you kind
of worry there's not gonna be enough stuff, and so
you're like, you'll bring something, bring something, and then everybody
brings stuff.
Speaker 4 (46:12):
But don't you feel some kind of way when some
when no one opens what.
Speaker 5 (46:15):
You brought, or if you cook something and nobody, Yeah,
that's sad and I ain't gonna lie. That's happened to
my dad all the time. My dad would make this
terrible looking carrot cake and he would be walking around
with it and try to force people to take a piece. Yeah,
and he would look, but it didn't taste that bad.
It looked worse way, but they're not gonna eat it,
(46:37):
you know.
Speaker 4 (46:38):
If he leaves it there, it's going to the trash, right,
so he might as well take it.
Speaker 5 (46:41):
But I also feel bad when people bring something to
eat and knowing especially if you cooked it and you
spend all this time like y'all have made it? Did
you all try to and knowing your food, don't try
my mac and cheese?
Speaker 4 (46:54):
You know, we didn't try your mac and cheese.
Speaker 5 (46:56):
That's awful. Yeah, Or people be like who made this?
Or there's a little bit gone, so you know, the
word spread that it was bad. Well, but my thoughts
as far as what Worrioo Junior was asking if you
bring a bottle to the function but nobody opens it,
that it does not revert back to the attendee you
brought it as a gift. You cannot take the gift back.
So even if no one opened it, you just got
(47:18):
to look at it. And if it was something really
good though, people would have opened it.
Speaker 4 (47:22):
You're right if it was, or you know what, no,
that's not true because let me tell you. Let me
tell you, sometimes you go to a function where people's
too ghetto to see the good things sitting there.
Speaker 5 (47:35):
But anyway, when we come back, we have Tomorrow's Leaders NYC. Now, uh,
these students there, they were over age students. They're generally
classified as someone who's been held back to or more times.
But we're going to talk to them about what happened,
some of the obstacles and then what's going on in
the world today.
Speaker 6 (47:51):
From a teenager's point of view. It's way up with Angela.
Speaker 2 (47:54):
Yee you all right, it is.
Speaker 5 (47:59):
Way up with angel And I'm really excited about this
segment that we're doing. And this is with the future,
because you guys are the future. But we have three
students here with us. We have Ojessa Forbes Hi. We
also have a Shanty Butler Hi and Kwaidair Jordan. How
are you guys doing? Okay? And this is all part
of a program Tomorrow's Leaders NYC Inc. And the program
(48:22):
director is here with us, toy In. How you doing, Toyen,
say your whole name.
Speaker 16 (48:26):
So we My full name is Ola Wa Toyan.
Speaker 5 (48:29):
All right, so can you tell us about Tomorrow's Leaders
before we get into these questions that we're going to
do today.
Speaker 16 (48:34):
So Tomorrow's Leaders is an organization that I found in
twenty eleven. I'm after working at different nonpropagations and having
a background education, I said I wanted to start my
own program. So I thought about my experiences working with youth,
and I always kind of came up with a connection
with kids that have been left back in school. But
then when I decided to go back to school to
study nonprofit management and I came up with a business plan,
(48:56):
I said that, you know what, I'm gonna start my
orgitation focusing on this population of kids.
Speaker 5 (48:59):
You know what's interesting is when I was in college,
I wanted to be a teacher, and so I actually
did in Washington Heights this program called Urban Education, and
there were students there that were kept back for a year.
Speaker 6 (49:13):
But it was different reasons why.
Speaker 5 (49:15):
And I'll tell you what my experience was like, because
I feel like some of them were the most gifted
but were not interested in school, and so I know
sometimes there's a lot of challenges that could be going
on at home or an environment. So I just wanted
to start with you, Odessa, what was your experience because
you're a senior now about to graduate.
Speaker 17 (49:32):
Okay, my experience is a bit different from everyone else.
I was never left back because of academic hardships. It
was mainly because since a young age, I was traveling
all over the world, and so when I finally settled
back in America, they left me back because their teaching
style was way different than where I was before, and
(49:55):
there was also a language barrier. So they were just like,
what is the class that we can put you back
in that would not be too bad?
Speaker 5 (50:04):
And that's why I.
Speaker 6 (50:04):
Get left back.
Speaker 5 (50:05):
Okay, how did that affect you? Did you feel like
that was something that was a reasonable thing to do?
You know reasonable?
Speaker 17 (50:13):
Yes, As as I said, traveled a lot, so it
became normal. But it did affect me in the way
that I was more complacent. I was more reserved, and
I was very much more shy, and so I would
not be as outspoken as I was, and even if
I knew something, I would hold myself back intentionally as
a way not to draw attention to myself, as I
(50:34):
was older than my peers and I was coming in
like fresh meat kind of.
Speaker 5 (50:38):
We are talking to Odessa, Ashanti and Corder they are
students from Tomorrow's leaders. They're over age students, but they
are graduating all right. And Ashanti, you're also a senior
about to graduate.
Speaker 6 (50:50):
Congratulations, So tell me your story.
Speaker 12 (50:54):
When I was two, I was diagnosed with hearing problem,
so I was going back and forth to the hospital.
Speaker 18 (51:00):
So that affected me with school.
Speaker 12 (51:02):
So in the first grade, I got left back once
because I was keep on going back and forth to
the hospital getting surgeries. My mom tried to fight for
a community so I could try to be on my
right grade and try to do what I have to
do for myself and my health, but it wasn't working.
They was keep on denying me and everything. So I
just got left back twice because of my hearing. And
(51:24):
I can think in my sight like I just now
got glasses to this like last year.
Speaker 5 (51:29):
But the glasses are cute, thank you. Now, I did
that affect you?
Speaker 12 (51:34):
Though it affected me because I was the only older
kid in the class, and that I see my other
associates slash friends as moving up to the next grade
and I'm like, dang, I could have been dumb, but
it's not even my fault. It's like it's my health, right,
and that just made me depressed and everything. But I
(51:56):
just kept fighting me and my mother did. I finally
got hearing needs and everything. So I've been working doing
what I have to do, being on honor roll.
Speaker 5 (52:06):
That's right, everything that's great, and quit darn what about you.
Speaker 18 (52:11):
My trouble like with like school and stuff, has started
from grades three to six. In class, I will often
find myself falling behind because we started to learn in
like third grade pendas, parentheses, exponents, multiplication, and et cetera.
Speaker 13 (52:26):
I doesn't forgot, so we started to learn that, and
basically it's like I wouldn't understand it because I would
just do it like you know, how it's put in
front of me, instead of actually doing checking to see
if it's parentheses first exponents.
Speaker 4 (52:42):
Because when they.
Speaker 18 (52:42):
Give you the work and the teachers that I had,
it really wasn't explainable and I had to kind of
figure things out on my own. So by the time
I would be able to figure things out, the class
has already three lessons ahead of me. And like you know,
I passed third grade, but I passed by the skin
of my teeth. But it really didn't cat to me
to a fourth grade okay, where I got left back
(53:03):
and then I had to do the grade again. And
it's not discouraging, but seeing like as Ashanti touched up,
like seeing your friends go on, it really makes you think,
like that could have been me.
Speaker 5 (53:16):
We are talking to Odessa, Ashanta and Corder. They are
students from Tomorrow's Leaders. They're over age students, but they
are graduating. And how did the other students treat you,
like knowing that you were older than them? Was it
a big deal or was it not a big deal.
Speaker 18 (53:32):
I wouldn't call it bullying. I would just call it
like you know, I was just talked about. They'll used
to be like, oh yeah, look at the big dummy
who's still in like fourth grade, when.
Speaker 5 (53:41):
Yeah, that's really fifth.
Speaker 18 (53:42):
So definitely it wasn't bullying to me, only because when
it came to like calling names and stuff, I used
to throw it right back. But it was just a
way for me for like, you know, protecting myself. Yeah,
because I felt like, you know, nobody else is like
the same age as me, and I can't relate to
nobody else. So that was my way of like protecting myself.
Speaker 5 (54:01):
Now, can you talk about this program that you have
Toyan and how this is actually help what the program
does for these students.
Speaker 16 (54:08):
So the program provides social, emotional and academic support to
the kids. We partner with New York City public schools
and charter schools that have a high amount of the population,
and we provide social emotional and academic support during the
school day to those students twice a week with it
for the entire day. The students have messals that are
assigned to them, and then those same students have the
(54:29):
opportunity to get support outside of school. We work with
their families, help the families and out whatever way we can.
Speaker 5 (54:34):
That's great.
Speaker 16 (54:34):
We do. We do a lot of community service. They
do a lot of given These kids are amazing. They
do a lot of giving back to different communities. We
exposed them to different career fields and colleges. We just
came back from Clock Atlanta.
Speaker 6 (54:45):
Actually, I see you got the Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (54:48):
Still put a lot of exposure.
Speaker 16 (54:50):
Because we can educate and empower ourselves, we don't have
to wait on other people to do that for us.
Speaker 5 (54:56):
All right, way up, Addy, Angela Yee and we are
talking to three students from Tomorrow's leaders m YC. That's
Odessa Ashanta and Quadare. They are teenagers, they're over age students,
but they're graduating. And when we come back, we'll talk
about social media and the effects. We always hear about it,
but let's hear about it from the kids themselves. It's
way up at Angela Yee is on What's Up. Its
(55:16):
way up at Angela Yee and we are talking to
students from Tomorrow's Leaders NYC. That's Odessa Ashanti and Quadair
and we are discussing social media. So what do you
think about TikTok? Do you think that it is more
good or more harm for people your age? Teenagers?
Speaker 17 (55:34):
Well, I'm kind of biased because I don't necessarily use TikTok,
but I feel like it's a good outlet for expression
and to have some kind of like agency and freedom
over your life. But with that being said, it is
very much detrimental with the content that is on TikTok
as of now, because I feel like there's just a
(55:54):
wide array of things that's not really educational or very
much motivational on the way that should be. It's more
and more detrimental to the mental health to a lot
of kids. So I feel like it should be kind
of like rained in a little bit more. But I
do think the idea of it and the reason behind
it is good.
Speaker 5 (56:14):
How do you think they should regulate TikTok though, Like
it should be a certain age limit to TikTok, and
like people who post harmful things like it shouldn't be
up there anyway, Like it should be more socially to
people who like enjoy it, like people who like to dance,
people who like to see stuff good stuff happen.
Speaker 12 (56:34):
It should have that type of impact in TikTok.
Speaker 4 (56:37):
Right.
Speaker 12 (56:38):
I don't want to see no self harm. I don't
want to see no somebody getting hit by a car,
none of that. I just want to see good energy,
good vibe.
Speaker 5 (56:46):
Okay. I agree with you all on my page and TikTok.
Speaker 13 (56:50):
Now.
Speaker 5 (56:50):
You guys also talked about having a mentor, right, so
can you talk to me about the value of having
a mentor and what that's done for you?
Speaker 18 (56:58):
Having a mentor is like having a bigger brother or sister.
I feel like having a mentor is like someone that
you can go to with like homework, then like some
things that you can go to like you know, personal
and et cetera. And I also feel like like they're
also there to guide you in life too. Like so far,
I believe I had mentors like through Tomorrow's Leader, also
(57:21):
outside of Tomorrow's Leader, And to this day, I still
contact them and you know, we still keep in touch
with each other because they helped me along the way.
That it is just like it's some things that you
know you just can't forget.
Speaker 5 (57:32):
So right, that's great, go ahead, I can see you
want to jump in.
Speaker 12 (57:38):
Having a mentor is like the best thing that happened
to me, only because I can't really speak to my
mom about half of the things because she got three kids.
I'm a middle child. Nobody really pay attention to the
middle child. Like, so I feel like having a mentor.
They helped me with my homework, They helped me with
my golden life, Like they helped me with a lot
(57:58):
of things. And I could talk old expression our feelings
to them and it's confidential and I liked having that,
like it's like another therapist, but like it's also to
guide me to the future.
Speaker 5 (58:10):
Yeah, and then one day you guys will be mentors.
We are talking to Odessa, Ashante and Corder. They are
students from Tomorrow's Leaders. They're over age students, but they
are graduating. How do you guys vet out mentors in
the program? So I end.
Speaker 16 (58:25):
So I think one of the things that makes this
organation unique is our mentors. Most of them are current
college students or recent college graduates, and we were students
who are looking to get into basically human services way
it feels, but the education, social work, psychology, or just
you know, students who just want to give back to
their community. They want to be mentors.
Speaker 4 (58:45):
So that's how we able to do it.
Speaker 16 (58:46):
And you know, been blessed for the past say nine years,
we've been able to pay the mentors. Oh so they
actually paid it the internship for them. So this is
like for their first foot into the door of working
in human services. And we've have been blessed to have
mentors who's going on to be local loctive officials, principals
who have been teachers, everything in between.
Speaker 5 (59:08):
All right, well, listen you guys. I appreciate y'all for
coming through and chopping it up, because not only did
I want to get into your personal lives and this program,
Tomorrow's leaders, right and Tomorrow's leaders NYC t L NYC.
Speaker 6 (59:20):

Speaker 16 (59:21):
That's TLNYC dot org.
Speaker 5 (59:23):
And then I love the fact that y'all came up
here and we're I'm afraid to talk about your own
personal lives and experiences, and the fact that you guys
are all seniors now about to Is.

feeling about them, and I don't really want.
Speaker 1 (01:02:05):
Them in there.
Speaker 6 (01:02:06):
We are they under lease.
Speaker 1 (01:02:08):
They are under a lease.
Speaker 8 (01:02:10):
It's a six month least with them. But I don't
know is that like is that a bad thing? As
an owner, Like you just have a bad feeling about
somebody and you want them.
Speaker 5 (01:02:19):
I believe interest in your instincts. I also believe in
communicating though, Like have you had a discussion about the
trash and the smell?
Speaker 8 (01:02:28):
They're not really not really, I just yeah, well you
need to.
Speaker 4 (01:02:31):
Have Yeah, you gotta sit down and tell them to
stop cooking that curry.
Speaker 6 (01:02:35):
Or even you know what.
Speaker 5 (01:02:36):
You don't even have to say. You can send them
an email. I love the way curry see, but send
an email, and I think that's the proper way to
go about it, because you always want documentation of things too,
and so I would send an email like, hey, there's
been you know, and you can this is what they do. Also,
you can send it to everyone so that no one
feels single down too, And you can just send an
(01:02:57):
email like, hey, just letting all the tennis know to
be respectful of other tenants. There has been some strange
smells wafting about the hall race wafting all.
Speaker 8 (01:03:10):
But I'm gonna use that word.
Speaker 5 (01:03:13):
And it's also good to set that standard for everyone,
right because that might be something that is an issue
with them, but you don't ever want it to be
an issue with anybody else.
Speaker 6 (01:03:21):
So send it to the whole building and then they
should know.
Speaker 5 (01:03:24):
Oh I think they talk about our.
Speaker 4 (01:03:26):
I disagree with you, and let me tell you to
could come out. No I wouldn't, but you know what,
I think I'm gonna go talk to them one on
one because because when you send an email like that,
whoever it is, it doesn't speak to them. They don't
think that's who's who They're gonna be like, oh, I
know who's saying that this is our next door neighbor. Well,
why don't you just go tell them yourself instead of
(01:03:46):
starting as.
Speaker 5 (01:03:48):
I think that it is important though, that's to set
that standard for everyone.
Speaker 6 (01:03:51):
It's not just singling out.
Speaker 5 (01:03:53):
And then look, it is okay for you to have
that conversation with them as well, but send out an
email to everybody. And I also agree with the sixth
month at least that you have them on. If you
do have a bad feeling, then at least they're under
a six month contract at least agreement, and then you
can ask that you can let them know that they
at least will not be renewed.
Speaker 4 (01:04:10):
Yeah, in my business they say we're going in another direction.
Speaker 8 (01:04:15):
Definitely with them, I love the wording.
Speaker 9 (01:04:17):
I love the words.
Speaker 8 (01:04:18):
So I'm going to send the email. First, I'm gonna
use wasting, and then if anything worth comes to worse,
I'm gonna just have to deal with the smell for
like six months and then I can find someone that
smells better.
Speaker 6 (01:04:28):
Yeah, yeah, what does the smell exactly?
Speaker 8 (01:04:32):
It's it's it is now that you say curry, like
I kind of smell that, but it's a mix of
that and like and like straight up trash. So it's
like the screeps up in Unit be.
Speaker 5 (01:04:41):
Yeah yeah, no, definitely send it out, but you also
should talk to them directly and just be like, Okay,
did you see the email that was directed at you?
Speaker 4 (01:04:49):
And it's unacceptable, you know what, because it's one thing,
like if you don't like somebody, but once, once, whatever
you're doing, you're doing affects me outside of bounds. So
if you can smell what they're doing, that's too much.
You don't have to feel bad about that. Like what
you're doing is now affecting other people in the building.
That's out. Yeah, you gotta you gotta go in another direction.
Speaker 8 (01:05:08):
I okay, So I feel like I'm doing the right Okay,
that's the right thing that I'm not like it's.
Speaker 6 (01:05:14):
For you, it's for everyone in the building.
Speaker 8 (01:05:16):
Yeah, so true, So for the better good of of
ma right, okay, okay, thanks Alex.

social media come in and how the men feel as

a six year relationship that totally drew me off my rocker.
I had three jobs at the time. Then I was
(01:08:38):
going to school when that message guy. However, he felt
like I was just too busy for him, but he
asked me to quit one of my jobs, and then
I end up getting far from my second job. So
now I'm down to one job. But the whole point
of you asking me the week that first job was
so that we could spend time together. But he's also

Speaker 6 (06:13):
And when we come back, we have yet.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
And let's talk about flow Rider and his child support payments.
He's going to be having to do a payment package
and it's pretty pricey. It's way up at Angela.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Ye, she's about to blow the lid ab off this bot.
Let's get it.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Oh yeah, angelus feeling that yee te come.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
And get the tea.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
Yes, what's up? It's way up at Angela.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Yee.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
I'm here. I'm Angela yee.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
And John Laster, Yes, i am here, Comedian Filter.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
And Black Founder is here with me.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
And let's talk about flow Rider and his child support judgment. Okay,
now he has an agreement and in that agreement because
he's been in this battle with his exo with child
support payments for quite some time now and so now
he has to pay monthly and annual payments that total
five hundred thousand dollars to Alexis Adams, who is the
mother of his son, Zohard Dillard. He's been diagnosed with
(07:02):
autism and a brain condition that's very rare also, so
it's been I'm sure very rough for the mom having
to deal with this on her own. So neither flow
Writer nor Alexis have issued a statement after the judge's ruling.
They said she's grateful to the court and that it's over.
He agreed to that package again and it's been a
really long and contentious battle back in twenty eighteen, she
(07:23):
claims that he called his child an evil, effing child,
and she made that claim to The Daily Mail when
she gave an exclusive interview about it. They met in
about twenty fifteen, and the details of their meeting and
their relationship are not clear. She didn't get into it
in her interview, but she did say that during her
pregnancy she did lose contact with flow Writer. So now
there's a one time payment of one hundred and eighty
(07:44):
eight thousand dollars for outstanding expenses. He's going to pay
fourteen thousand a month in child support, twenty two hundred
a month in health insurance, and set up a three
hundred thousand dollar escrow account.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
That's a big discount from from fifty thousand dollars a month.
You said, a big discount, Yeah, because he's down in
what fourteen?
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Yeah, he got a fourteen thousand dollars a month in support.
That's the agreement. It's better than fifty, Okay, it is,
but I mean he does have to set up that
ESCO account, and he does have to pay outstanding balances
for expenses, and it's a lot. It's a nine thousand
dollars a month plus medical and school cost that she
has to pay for him. So yes, and floor Rider
(08:25):
also did win an eighty two million dollar lawsuit against
energy drink company Celsius.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Yeah, and he should have got that money. I mean,
I know that you were saying that they too. I
don't know, fifty thousand dollars a month for a child
on never mind, because I know there's gonna be some
women that are like, he should pay that money, but
fifty grand. What are kids gonna do with fifty grand?
But the money that he got from the energy drink
them saying that we made our money after our deal
(08:51):
is nonsensical because once you have equity in something, even
if they sell it, your equity should transfer over.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
To that nowe Yeah, he had one percent right and
he and they made a ton of money, so he
should get paid to he should get Speaking of money,
Kanye's fifty seven million dollar Malibu Manson, remember when he
bought that. According to reports that Manton is rotting away
after the construction company has shut down, and so it
was reportedly designed by his favorite architect. It was supposed
(09:16):
to be a part house, part sculpture. You know, Kanye's
always doing something artsy, but he has and stripped the
entire home down. It's now a concrete space with rusting balconies.
There's also utility pipes under the property that had been
left alongside the beach. According to reports, he bought this,
I guess thinking that he was going to do that,
but he's had some financial things going on. Yeah, as
we know, so maybe he can't do it right now. Yeah,
(09:39):
there's nothing like getting into working on a home. And
I think right now because I'm dealing with that myself. Yes,
you are this house that I bought. You see that
you are they actually started working back on it again,
by the grace of God. But yes, all right, and
now past the Sarah Jakes Roberts. She snatched her wig
off mid sermon. I guess it started slipping out of place.
(10:00):
She was on the stage, and I mean this was,
you know, heartfelt sermon. Listen, do you think the woman
would as you are blind?
Speaker 7 (10:08):
She look like the woman.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
All right, I'm not to take it out.
Speaker 12 (10:14):
Sometimes you need to see it from the platform, so
you could do it with your platform.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Other women that had taken off their own wigs. People
enjoyed this man. And we all know that feeling when
our wigs start slipping. You try to fix it, it
might be crooked, it don't look right. You gotta just
pull your wig off. So imagine being there and you're like,
I know how it feels. And she posted, I've always
enjoyed getting dressed up and looking my best. I also
(10:42):
have worked really hard to separate my worth and identity
from my appearance. I can be ful glam one day
in fresh, hyper pigmented face the next. Today I was preaching,
I could film my wig slipping. My message was more
important to me than maintaining my appearance. So I took
it off, locked in and kept preaching. All right, and
that is your When we come back, we have about
last night. That's where we talked about, well we did
(11:04):
last night or over the weekend, and it was a
holiday weekend and I did some.

Yeah, So for me over the weekend, for about last night,
I was actually in Yellow Springs. Dannell Rawlings does this
Donell Land Love Experience.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
Now, Donnell Rowlings is also a.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Comedian, hilarious, and so he actually started this kind of
as a family thing. He sets it up as a
carnival and all these activities. There was a huge kickball game,
the Streets versus the Creeks. Now, in full disclosure, I
am the captain of the Streets team. Last year we won.
This year, I didn't make it on time. He told
(12:55):
me the game started at nine. Now you know, if
you tell me it starts, ane am, I'm thinking no
one's going to get there till ten, right right?
Speaker 6 (13:04):
You would think that too right, no.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
One's gonna I'm like, we were out last night at
the comedy club with him, with Donelle. He had Flame
Monroe actually hosting his comedy show that was sold out.
He also had don Be there, He had Adrian, there
were some hilarious comedians, Marshall Brandon, all of them were there.
And then I'm like, okay, we were up late, so
I don't know if he's going to really be at
(13:27):
this kickball game at nine am. So he tells me nine.
So I'm thinking, okay, I'm gonna get up around nine
and then get there nine thirty. Donell calls me, oh,
so will you what? I was still in the bed,
so I'm the captain. So my team did lose, but
I think part of it was because I wasn't there,
you know, and they cheated. I heard cheated, and I
(13:48):
got that ballball from what I heard, the creeks were cheating.
But that's what happened. And it's really nice though, as
a getaway, just to go to Yellow Springs. There's cornfields everywhere,
there's cows, there's horses, all these things that I'm not
used to seeing in my everyday life out in New
York City. Right, and everybody's very pleasant and nice. We
(14:10):
had a great time. So shout out to everybody that
was with Dina and Donell does this like for the community,
for the kids.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
And what I like about it is a lot of
people from Yellow.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Springs come out, and so you never want to live
in a community because he actually lives in Yellow Springs.
And another thing that brought a tear to my eye
is done now owns a house and so he bought
a house out there. It's a beautiful house that he's
been customizing just the way that he likes it. And
so it's nice to see your friends who you've known
for a really long time.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
We've come a long way, baby.
Speaker 6 (14:41):
Come a long way.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
He has a pool.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
We've come a long way.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
He has a hammock that if you sit on it,
you flip right off.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
I don't know if that's by design, but yees. So
that was my Memorial Day weekend. I really enjoyed just
spending some times just being chilled. I did a little karaoke.
I feel like in karaoke of all, I was gonna
do Poundtown, but then I checked the temperature of the
room and I didn't think people would know that song,
and then it felt little inappropriate because there were some
older people there and there's some very racy lyrics in
(15:10):
that song. So instead I did a very slow song.
And then my friend Dahlia came. She did Tina Turner
that was like, you know the cheat code. Yeah, she
did Proud Mary, and then people got up and started dancing.
So shout out to just Pam and Don Bee and everybody.
We had a good time just being around friends. But
when we come back, we have gurus up the gram.
(15:32):
Now you know, everybody on social media is now a
guru about somebody. Some people are legitimate, though some people
are legitimate. All right, now, let's talk about this one.
This is Ian Dunlap. He's an investor and he talks
about how men get thrown off from their purpose. He
was on The Roommate's podcast and he was discussing what happens.
(15:55):
Listen to this.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
The number one thing that throws off most men from
their purpose is woman hard balance because we all want
that attention, admiration, affection. Most men when they tell me,
yo'all don't have time to invest, I'm like, I'm seeing
you chasing ninety women around who don't want you. I
think men chase a lot of women or play too
much because they're not clear on what that path or
purpose is. And then also when you lose your focus,
they stop focusing on you. O.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Brother Ian is definitely a guru. I like to nominate
brother to talk about it.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
Eight hundred nine fifty one fifty is a number called
this Epic's Gurus of the Gram. Do you agree with this?
Is Brother Ian a guru? Or are you like, nah,
he don't know what he's talking about his way up
at Angela.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Ye, they caught that talk.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
But is he kamp Nah?
Speaker 1 (16:40):
They are Gurus of the Gram?
Speaker 5 (16:42):
Yes, it is way up at Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee.
And my boy John Laster is here with me today.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Yes, comedian and founder of Black he's in the tech world.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
I am now.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
I didn't know you were such a genius. And we're
doing Gurus of the Gram. We're talking about Ian Dunlap.
He was on The Roommate's podcast and here's what he
had to say about you guys getting distracted.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
The number one thing that throws off most men from
their purpose is women. And it's a hard balance because
we all want that attention admiration affection. Most men when
they tell me, yo, I don't have time to invest,
I'm like, I'm seeing you chasing ninety women around who
don't want you. I think men chase a lot of
women or play too much because they're not clear on
what that path or purpose is. And then also when
you lose your focus, they stop focusing on YouTube and
(17:28):
you know what.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Okay, So I was going to give my perspective before
you give yours, John, I want to say, it sounds
like the right women would help you be more focused.
Maybe these are just not the right women. So what
are your thoughts?
Speaker 4 (17:40):
I totally agree that the right women, But I also
think that sometimes women don't even know, Like sometimes you
could be in love with somebody and want them to
be around a lot more, you know what I'm saying,
not knowing that you're squeezing the life out of their career.
I don't know what It's always intentional, but I will
say this. I told a bunch of young comedians one time,
if I had to mentor someone will who was an
addict or someone who is just completely addicted to women,
(18:04):
I would rather take the addict, because women you cannot
cure that problem.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
You can't.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
No, you cannot. Guys who get distracted by women. I
can't tell you how many comedians I know that have
gone by the wayside because some women was like, Oh,
why are you doing this? Or why you gotta go
you gotta go out this. This is what they start
hitting me at first, you gotta go out every night.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
And then you do because even on your birthday you
said you did four shows.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
My birthday, I did. I did four shows and I
would say it's almost five shows because we had a
special guest down there that did an extra hour. That's
almost another show.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
Well is that so does that mean in a relationship
you would have still did five shows inship day?
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Absolutely, I would be with someone who understood what it
takes for me to get where I'm.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
Trying to go to five shows.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
No, I didn't. I wouldn't drag my significant other with
me birthday.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Do something after these jokes?
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Yo, you know what, that is very true. You know what,
there's nothing more beautiful though. This is a convenient with
his girl there and she's still laughing.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Yeah, she's like he's so funny.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Yeah, guys were.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
About that, But jess, what are your thoughts about gurus
of the gram.
Speaker 11 (19:20):
Honey, how are you again?
Speaker 6 (19:23):
How are you? And John? Last year is here today?
Speaker 13 (19:26):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (19:27):
John?
Speaker 10 (19:27):
How are you?
Speaker 4 (19:28):
I'm doing great?
Speaker 5 (19:29):
What are your thoughts about gurus of the gram and
being distracted?
Speaker 11 (19:32):
Okay, let me tell you some angela I had to
pull I was driving, I had to pull over to
call a fat because I a thousand Christian like agree
because for one, I say that, you know, just don't
know themselves like that, and when just don't know themselves,
they're gonna look for a validation and having femos to
(19:54):
try to feed their either you feel me, and I
always say this, right, the who don't know himself is
the who's going to search for validations amongst women. And
then if you don't understand yourself, you want to bring
all types of issues when the women did not even
act for that.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
Okay, So look, he is a guru.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
Have you have you down somebody off their pad?
Speaker 7 (20:21):
Well?
Speaker 11 (20:21):
Okay, so yes, because I'm a type of female I know,
like really, I'm the type of female where at the
end of the day, I've been in so many issues
with dudes, So I'm like, okay, dudes are going to
be dus So now I got to switch up.
Speaker 9 (20:34):
How I do it.
Speaker 11 (20:35):
So what I do is I start asking dudes about themselves.
What do you like, what makes you happy? Where do
you see yourself in the future. Do you live on
your own or do you have you know, like a roommate.
And when you ask dudes about themselves, if they think
hard about it, then that's a big red site for me. Okay,
like you don't really know yourself like that, and all
(20:56):
you just focus on is for females.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
Okay, all right, well thank you. She sounds like a Hey, Keith,
what's up?
Speaker 9 (21:05):
Angela? What's going on?
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Are you doing good?
Speaker 8 (21:07):
How are you?
Speaker 6 (21:08):
John Last is here too.
Speaker 7 (21:09):
I'm doing pretty good. What's happy?
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Man? How you doing?
Speaker 9 (21:12):
My brother?
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Really good? Brother?
Speaker 5 (21:14):
What are your thoughts about Dunlap Gurus up the gram man?
Speaker 7 (21:18):
I've been following in for for years, man. And what
he's saying is fact he's kind of one of the
guys that helped me grow financially. And I'm having that
problem right now. You know what I'm saying. Once I
kind of deal with a runner, I kind of lose
focus of my financial goals or business because you're trying to,
(21:39):
you know, juggle what's going.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
On and the moment, the moment.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
We kind of like split up, break up, or whatever
the case may be. It's a running joke with my homeboys.
We always boss up one of one of them truck man.
So it does have it does have some type of
truth to it.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
But how how she how is but how is she
taking you off course?
Speaker 7 (22:02):
Bro? Like?
Speaker 4 (22:02):
What does she do? Is it vacations? Is it? I
want some jewelry? Yet? Like what path is is? Would
you go?
Speaker 7 (22:08):
So? When I'm yeah, I feel you. So when I'm
locked in on my business, I'm always we kind of
not argue, but I find a hard time balancing my
relationship side of things. And I focus solely on my
business when hitting numbers. And then when I say, all right,
I'm gonna take a break and kind of laying there
(22:28):
and on my lady, that's when my baby, my company
starts to kind of you know, have a few hiccups
here there. When she all know, that's my oversight or
you know what I'm saying, that's that's her.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
She's encouraging you to stay home more often, or or
not keeping home.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
More, you know, spend time Whenever I said I gotta
go run and do something and it's going for like
she don't say nothing, but you can tell the whole mood.
Speaker 6 (22:58):
Yes, yes, go do what you gotta do.
Speaker 7 (23:02):
You know.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
You know how I've described it in the past is
women are like are like bowl constrictors. They wrap around
you and just squeeze you a tiny bit of the
time before you just and then you lay in there dead. Yeah, yeah, absolutely,
absolutely sounds like yeah you still got that.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
Yeah, you still have that balance though, you know, you
gotta keep them happen, so you gotta sacrifice some stuff
at the business too, you know what I'm saying. Uh,
And I guess that comes with the financial part of it.
That's one thing I want to ask in like, okay,
so but what if you had an assistant to handle this,
that and the other while you out you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
So, I guess there's a level which is time.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
But thank you for calling in.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
Absolutely have a good.
Speaker 6 (23:48):
One you too, all right?
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Well that was Guru of the Graham Dunlap on The
Roommate's podcast. In it sounds like people agree with you.
He is indeed a guru. Guru and for all you
guys out there, y'all better fit you're out of way
to not get distracted. If you're in a relationship, how
do you get your work done?
Speaker 4 (24:04):
Good luck?
Speaker 5 (24:05):
All right, Well, when we come back, we have yet
we'll be talking about The Little Mermaid.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
Memorial Day box office numbers.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
It's way up at Angela Yee, they says in the rooms.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
From industry shade to all the gossip out, Angela's spiling
that EyeT.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
Yes, it is way up at Angela Yee. I'm Angela
Yee and comedian and tech investor and app creator, creator
of Black John Laster is here with me, and it's
time for that Yet. Now let's talk about The Little Mermaid,
which you love. John, I know you were so excited
about this. The Little Mermaid has crushed Memorial Day box
(24:42):
office with one hundred and eighteen million dollars in their
opening over the four day holiday weekend. It's the fifth
highest Memorial Day opening of all time. In the international market,
it grows sixty eight point three million, and the film
had a budget of two hundred and fifty million, so
it's definitely going to break even even more than even
(25:03):
more than.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
Even even more than even now.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
I saw I'm looking at Forbes and they said, it
looks like something fishy is going on with The Little Mermaids.
Rotten Tomato user reviews, They said, I fully expected this
movie to fare better with critics than with audiences, given
how the culture wars normally work. The critics score is
just sixty seven percent, while audiences are giving it a
whopping ninety five percent. So what is going on with that?
(25:27):
There's been so much drama surrounding this movie. But that's
why I'm I'm really happy that it did really well.
People had issues with Halle being a Little Mermaid because
she's black, Like mermaids exist in real life and should
be white.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
It's unbelievable. You know what else is a bit annoying
about that. You don't hear that outrage when they take
all the times that they've taken people that were of
color and use a white person.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Right, Yeah, Well we're starting to No, we're starting we're
starting to now because we're like, uh, but I'm.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Saying they don't have the same outrage. I mean, it's
not like, oh, no, that should be a black person.
It would be nice if they did that, if the
Egyptians and all the Africans in Tarzan, and you know,
what I mean all the times that they put white
people in places that you know they shouldn't be like Jesus.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
But yes, and I saw some people but whatever. Congratulations.
That's a lot more period. Okay, all right, now let's
talk about Megan the Stallion.
Speaker 10 (26:23):
So she was.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
Spotted out with Belgian soakker star Roma Lukaku, Lukaku? Yes,
am I saying it right? Lukaku?
Speaker 4 (26:33):
That's it?
Speaker 5 (26:34):
Yes, And she was at the wedding of one of
his teammates and she was spotted with him. So there's
a viral video that's been circulating on social media where
the two of them are sitting next to each other
as they are celebrating. And they said, it's unclear if
she actually attended as his date, but they're both repped
by rock Nation.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
What does that have to do with who you go
to a wedding with. Yes, that's his date. Come on, stop,
that represents you, They represent people should go to the
wedding to get known.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
And people noted that she did go to a game
earlier on her Instagram. There's a picture you know, she
posted from the game, so it'd be something.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
He's not giving away tickets to Brando's.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
The question is this. I guess that would mean that
her and partisan Fontaine broke up, So we don't know,
but I guess that's her business when she gets it together.
I'm sure at some point.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Well maybe they were in an open relationship.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
Okay, that's true. I doubt it, but okay, I doubt
it too. All right Now, in other news, Quentin Tarantino,
they are saying allegedly paid ten thousand dollars to lick
a woman's feet until they looked like prunes.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
Have you ever done that?
Speaker 4 (27:42):
No? And that's going to be an all right.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
So this all was described by a man who is
known as Paige rad He's a senior staffer at a
Hollywood strip club called Crazy Girls, and he was on
a podcast called Get in a Car where he alleged
that he saw this happen.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
I think we've all licked feet before.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
Not all of us. I have never done that, but
not till they look like prunes. Have you done that?
Speaker 4 (28:10):
You need to grow up?
Speaker 6 (28:12):
But you're not doing it like Quen Tarantino's doing it.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
You need to grow up.
Speaker 6 (28:16):
I hate to do this. By the way, have you
ever paid to lick feet?
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (28:19):
No?
Speaker 4 (28:20):
First of all, I don't have any money.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
To lick feet ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
I'd have to bar some money to lick someone's feet.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
That maybe some feet that's not that nice.
Speaker 6 (28:28):
And then you can maybe get a discount.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Get a discount from two thousand.
Speaker 6 (28:32):
So you are you, You're a regular.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
Absolutely Nazi. You just took it too far. Nobody said that.
I said, everybody's done it one time.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
At one time.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
You turned me into a foot liquor. Yeah, everybody's tried it.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
Once, Okay, And how was it horrible?
Speaker 4 (28:45):
That's why I didn't go back.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Why was it horrible? We got to talk about this,
so we don't I cannot wait it all right, I'll
fill y'all in in a minute. But when we come back,
we have under the radar, and y'all got to avoid
these scammers. I just got a scam text mess. This
is right now from quote the irs. All right, it's
way up at Angela Yee under the radars, next.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
News edition in the news that relates to you. These
stories are flying under the radar.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
All right, it's way up at Angela Yee. I'm Angela
Yee and John last is here with me. Was u
John is so funny. John is a comedian also the
founder of black Make sure y'all download that app. Download that.
Now it's time for under the Radar. These are stories
that we definitely feel like you should know about. This
one's important. I just got a text message about a scam. Right,
and by the way, I was watching Good Morning America today.
(29:34):
Eight point eight billion dollars have been lost to scams
in twenty twenty two, and one point two billion of
those were via social media. Now, I just got a
text messages from the quote IRS. I already knew immediately
this was a scam just by the email address. It says,
IRS dash govd CKFBI three nine six at doctor chloeextremadora
(29:56):
dot com.
Speaker 6 (29:57):
Do you think I believe this is the sending me
an email?
Speaker 5 (30:02):
Then there's a PDF saying that I am about to
get a third round of economic impact payment status that's available.
All I had to do is click this link to
claim my payment and they sign it your faithfully internal
revenue service.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
And don't worry about your empty bank account. Right.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
And then it says that if I put in any
wrong information, I will be criminally pursued and indicated. All
these things. Let me know this was a scam, but
you know, some people don't know. And one woman in particular,
Deborah Moss, she's the owner of a small catering business.
She found herself in a very sophisticated bank scam. It
started with a harmless text message, so she thought she
(30:41):
ended up losing one hundred and sixty thousand dollars that
she cannot get back out right because they're saying that
it's not the bank's fault, it was her fault. She
received a call from someone claiming to be a rep
from Chase Bank. The caller ID displayed the bank's name.
On the other end of the line was an individual
identifying herself as Miss Barbara. Miss Barbara Yes, she requested
(31:02):
permission from her to issue a new debit card to
resolve some alleged fraudulent charges. Now MOS says Miss Barbara
told that she needed to verify her identity, and she
told her to read the numbers from a text message
that was sent to her. You know how you get
a text message to verify and she did really get
that text message. That text message really was from the bank,
and so she said she repeated the numbers to her
(31:23):
and then this happened several times.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
They said there was a problem with the delivery of
the card.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
These times she had to verify her identity by reading
back the numbers. By the time this is all said
and done, she lost her entire life savings of nearly
one hundred and sixty thousand dollars. She said it took
her twelve years to get that money and that was
everything that she had. So, like we said, there's been
a surge thirty percent service from the previous year with
all this scamming that's been going on.
Speaker 6 (31:48):
Now, Good Morning America.
Speaker 5 (31:49):
They had Robert Herjevik from Shark Tank actually giving advice
for people, and I want everybody to listen to this, okay,
and be careful. But here's what he had to say
about spotting these online scams.
Speaker 14 (32:00):
It used to be older people are really young people.
But with everybody working from home, we've all let our
guard down. And what we always tell people is if
it's too good to be true, it is look.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
At the email address.
Speaker 14 (32:14):
If it doesn't have the actual address of the bank
in there, it's not real. And the other thing is,
no bank or financial institution will ever ask for your
pin number or personal data.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
Yeah, and unfortunately for this woman, Deborahma, she was not
able to get her money back.
Speaker 6 (32:32):
They said it was kind of her fault.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
They said, during our review, we found you did not
take the appropriate steps to protect your account from theft
or unauthorized youth. So now she has devastated. She said,
her world has fallen apart.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
You know what's scary to me though, is that the
Chase bank is showing up on her phone. Yeah, that's
the scary part because most of the time when these
things call, it some weird number, right, it's from some
odd country code or something. That's scary though.
Speaker 5 (32:57):
That it's right. Yes, So I just want to say
for myself because I get a lot of these calls
and with AI too, that's not helping either, where it's
like some recorded and you believe it's really something. So
just never give out your personal information over the phone.
And if something goes on, call the bank. Call the
number that is for your bank. Don't let somebody call you.
Call the bank to be like I'll call you back.
(33:19):
Call the bank and be like someone called me for this,
and I'll verify it because there's a deal that I'm
doing and they sent me an email and we're like
they were, like, Angela, you know, there's been so much
for all going on just before you send out any money.
Speaker 6 (33:31):
This is the wire information.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
But I've called to verify you called my contact there,
just to make sure at the bank that it was
them and not somebody trying to scam, because that's definitely happening.
So I just want to make sure that we are
super aware of those things, all right, and that is
you're under the radar.
Speaker 6 (33:47):
We do have the Way Up mix at the top
of the hour.
Speaker 5 (33:49):
Plus we have tomorrow's leaders coming through today and these
are some I have three teenagers who just graduated from
high school, but it did take them some extra time,
and they're going to Blaine what was going on in
their lives and how they were able to get through her.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
Right, it's way up at Angela Yee.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
She's like a talk like they Angela Jean, like they
Angela jee.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Man, She's spilling it all. This is yet way up.
Speaker 5 (34:15):
Yes, it is way up at Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee,
and John Laster is here with me. I'm up in here,
up in here, comedian and founder of BLAP. Yes, all right,
congratulations to Chanel Emon and a divine god child. They
are now engaged. He proposed with a huge diamond ring
New England Patriots defensive tackle. They were having a vacation
(34:38):
in Italy and it was all captured on camera, and
so she posted on Instagram today. First of all, I
can't even lie. I was nervous as hell. Oh no,
he said, He said, I never thought I would be
getting down on one knee. But love will make you
do some amazing things in life, Chanelle, I love you
so much and I wouldn't have rather s been this
moment with no one else by my side. So congratulations.
(35:00):
Love is a beautiful thing.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
It's on my bucket list.
Speaker 6 (35:03):
Love is on your bucket list getting it?
Speaker 4 (35:05):
Have you ever proposed No, I'm like, I'm do.
Speaker 6 (35:09):
You think it would be a traditional get down on
one knee?
Speaker 4 (35:11):
Oh? Absolutely, I'm gonna. I'm probably gonna dialoge now No,
I'm serious. Why, Yeah, I don't know. It's so sad.
You know. One of my friends the other day, he
came into the club right we was at work, and
he was like, I just met this girl. She's so beautiful.
It's a true story. And he said, and I don't know, man,
I just got all these butterflies, and without even thinking,
I swear to God, I looked at him. I said,
(35:32):
I think all my butterflies are dead.
Speaker 5 (35:35):
Somebody, what is Somebody? Hit up John if you're available.
He's looking for love. There's a lot of women out
there that would appreciate a man with a sense of humor,
with the entrepreneurial spirits. Okay, he's tall, Ladies, I am okay,
that's it.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (35:53):
Any other qualities.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
I don't think I have any other qualities.
Speaker 5 (35:58):
I'm about to be well, say no more. Let's see fluid. Now,
let's get into Kendrick Lamar and Baby Keem. They have
just released a new song and a video to go
along with it. It's called The Hillbillies. Here's a little
snippet for y'all.
Speaker 15 (36:14):
Man, she get them girls off the stage because somebody's
gonna get take and somebody's gonna invade on on one
on one conversation. I'm ducked off from the world. I'm
immersed in the playstage girl.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
Ooh, it's a great song for you as you look
for the right one. Tyler the Creator makes a quick
appearance in the video as well. By the way, if
you get a chance to watch that, this sounds like
it's gonna be really big in the club, on TikTok everywhere,
So should be a fun one. I feel like it's
gonna be in heavy rotation up here too. You think
the Hillbillies, the Hillbillies, all right? Shannon Sharps his house
(36:47):
was burglarized and one million dollars worth of belongings were stolen.
Speaker 6 (36:51):
According to TMZ.
Speaker 5 (36:52):
They said his house was broken into when he wasn't
home on May nineteenth, between seven and nine thirty pm.
Speaker 6 (36:57):
He got home after having.
Speaker 5 (36:58):
Some dinner with some friends and noticed that some of
his belongings were missing, and so that is the value
of those belongings, jewelry, watches, designer bags. There was no
signs of forced entry, and an investigation is ongoing now.
Speaker 4 (37:13):
I always wonder when you hear about people who have
these expensive houses, what type of security.
Speaker 5 (37:19):
System do you have a lot of times it's an
inside job, though it's gotta be. Yeah, it has to
be family and.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
Friends, right, giving off the code or something, because I don't.
Speaker 5 (37:27):
Know how house keepers that come. There's people that have
to come and take care of your house. You never
know and so hopefully the cameras were working and you
get to see who it was. But that still feels
like a violation to be able to have to go
and deal with that. All right. Now, let's get into
some beef that I did not anticipate happening on social media,
and this was between DJ Drama and Meek Mill. Now,
(37:49):
Meek Mil posted DJ Drama a goofy over these holes.
He won't speak good on me. I tore him up
in the A I think he means in Atlanta, right, yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:57):
I hope so.
Speaker 5 (38:00):
Now Meek Mile said, I asked Drama why he's always
sneaking down on me with a few other words too,
told him he's a goofy. I also hit him when
he tried to compare dreams and nightmares to I want
to rock and downplay me. Don't let these industry lanes
use you. They don't really even like you smh lol.
And then he also posted an alleged text message with
him and Drama where Drama said, ISH ain't got nothing
(38:20):
to do with no bees. To be honest, I don't
even speak on all the real sucker iss you'd be doing.
Speaker 6 (38:25):
That's the crazy part. You just did it to me
again for the Tiny.
Speaker 5 (38:27):
Dest podcast if my whole rollout up and wasn't even
man enough to just tell me no.
Speaker 6 (38:32):
So not sure.
Speaker 5 (38:33):
Behind the scenes, it feels like they have a lot
of issues with each other. Meek Mile said, if they
asked me about DJ Drama and Kalid, I wouldn't speak.
And I made millions on paper with Kalid, I'll stay silent.
I'm from Philly and we don't wear our fitted hats
like that Drama shop at mitchellin Ness. Then he Elsa
says that Drama never did real charity and Philly in
his life, and he said the biggest mistakes you can
make in this game is having sex with the wrong females.
(38:55):
Jealous men will try to destroy you quietly or find
out a way to dislike you. Y'all can keep them girals,
my family and friends more. It's sad lol. So I
don't know what's really going on. But DJ Drama posted
on his Instagram stories and uh he shared a text
from Meek where he criticized him over the interview, and
(39:15):
you know, it's just a lot going on between these
two yo.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
I kind of like the disc though about no charity.
Speaker 6 (39:22):
Well, you not know Phil, because if.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
They started going back and forth about that, a lot
more charity to be getting done out of here.
Speaker 5 (39:30):
Let's put up. Listen, all right, well that is your
yee tea. And speaking of putting up, when we come back,
let's talk to John Laster about his at BLAP. I've
been telling you guys about this all morning. He's a
founder of BLAP. We're gonna learn more about that when
we come back. It's way up at Angela yee.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
Yeah, she's back at it. Angela is on.
Speaker 6 (39:53):
Yes, it's way up with Angela.
Speaker 7 (39:54):
Yee.
Speaker 5 (39:54):
I'm Angela and I'm here with John Lastair.
Speaker 6 (39:56):
What's up, John?
Speaker 4 (39:57):
What's happening? Angely?
Speaker 6 (39:59):
So it's a good friend of mine.
Speaker 5 (40:00):
But other than that, he's an amazingly funny comedian and
you're also an entrepreneur. So let's discuss this app well.
First of all, let's discuss your birthday weekend. You worked
all weekend I did. Now, who are some of the
people that you saw on things that you did?
Speaker 4 (40:15):
You know what? I was down at the world famous
best comedy club in the world, the Comedy Seller. That's
where I worked. It was four.
Speaker 5 (40:21):
Shows and that's where a lot of comedians come to
New York and they're like, I got to get some
time at the Comedy Seller.
Speaker 6 (40:26):
That's kind of when you know you made it.
Speaker 4 (40:28):
Yes, yes, so we have some drop in. Chappelle came
through this weekend, killing it hilarious. Ray Romano, the usual suspect.
I mean, the shows are start studded and the comedians
that worked there, some that you don't know, are hilarious.
Speaker 5 (40:42):
Because to even get in, you have to be hilarious.
Speaker 4 (40:44):
Oh it's yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it's very difficult.
Speaker 5 (40:47):
For some people. You saw a break there that are
like newer in their careers.
Speaker 4 (40:51):
What do you mean break though?
Speaker 5 (40:52):
Like where they you know, when they finally were like
you know, you saw them finally come through there and
be able to Because you're a veteran right in this,
you mean, who are like some of the newer ones
that are you like, Yo, they're next?
Speaker 4 (41:03):
Oh man, there's a bunch of them. Man. There's uh
Daniel Simonson from Norway. There's uh my buddy Ethan Simmons.
Patterson is really really funny. Eagle Wits really really funny.
Speaker 5 (41:16):
Caitlin Paloufo, I always talk about the amazing night that
you had that was all went viral, insane, insane. Tell
everybody that was there at the Comedy Seller so they
understand the power of this room that you host. That's
your job.
Speaker 4 (41:29):
That's probably like the best organic comedy show to ever
come together ever. But that was my buddy Ryan Hamilton.
Jerry Seinfeld then went up after Ryan Hamilton. Uh no,
David Tail did David Tail, then Jerry Seinfeld, then Amy Schumer,
then A Z's I'm sorry, and then Chris Rock and
(41:52):
then Dave Chappelle.
Speaker 5 (41:53):
Good, can you like, has it ever happened anywhere?
Speaker 7 (41:56):
No?
Speaker 5 (41:56):
So that's an amazing and that spontaneously happened at the.
Speaker 4 (42:00):
So funny because Chappelle went on stage. People are going
ballistic right at the end of the show. Of course,
Dave Chappelle's all stage and Dave said, calm down, Kat
Williams is next. Calm down, Kat Williams is coming up next.
But it was it was, Yeah, that was insane.
Speaker 8 (42:18):
All right.
Speaker 5 (42:19):
Now, let's talk about Blap because I had you up
here previously to talk about your app Blap, so let
people know what that is.
Speaker 4 (42:25):
Blap is my my app that is killing it to
geolocated app. Let you know where all the black owned
businesses are around you. We're also building an e commerce
platform though as we speak, So if you know any
black female computer science you know, developers, please let me know. Yes,
you can never find these people. It's really sad. But
(42:46):
the app's going well. We I think we're around seven
eight hundred downloads away from sixty thousand. So if you guys,
if you guys downloaded, we'll hit sixty thousand download today.
So please download Black the App today.
Speaker 5 (42:58):
And I remember when you started this app, and so
I know right now you're in the process of getting investors, right, Yes,
it's always a process, Yes it is. What are some
tips you would give to other entrepreneurs out there as
far as when you give up equity equity in order
to get some cash in Flux?
Speaker 4 (43:16):
Yeah, yeah, equity is like permanent ownership you know of
the app, And I mean it's the best time to
get in these things is the beginning. So yeah, I'm
always looking for investors because this round is probably going
to close in like the next week or two. To
be honest with you.
Speaker 5 (43:31):
Yeah, we were talking earlier about flow Rider and how
he had one percent of Celsius and that ended up
being worth eighty two million dollars when you sue them
to get his money that they didn't pay him when
they sold.
Speaker 4 (43:41):
Yeah, I mean. And the other thing too, is like
a lot of times oftentimes like because we're unfamiliar with
the terms, it seems intimidating to us as black folks,
you know what I mean. And it's really not all
that complicated once you get in, especially if you get
in early. People wonder like, how do these people make
millions and millions of dollars?
Speaker 5 (43:57):
They all got in early or a lower price. It's
also hard for us, I feel like, to ask for
money sometimes. It's really difficult to go to people and
be like, hey, can you invest them?
Speaker 4 (44:07):
And it was really difficult for me. It was, yeah,
you know what I mean, because first of all, you know,
you have to keep in mind that the average net
worth of black households is one tenth of white households.
Speaker 6 (44:19):
And they're able to get that money.
Speaker 5 (44:20):
Well, look, we're going to talk more about this, but
when we come back, we are going to be talking
to tomorrow's leaders and YC.
Speaker 6 (44:26):
Now, these are students, and.
Speaker 5 (44:27):
I know we all care a lot, or we should
care about what teenagers have to say. About what's going
on in the world. But tomorrow's leaders. They're over age students,
but they're they're graduating, so that's an amazing accomplishment for them.
And we're going to talk about some of the obstacles
that they face, but also what's going on in the
world when it comes to bullying, when it comes to
social media, when it comes to music, all of those things.
Speaker 6 (44:48):
It's way up at Angela ye.
Speaker 1 (44:49):
I'm back. You've been way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 5 (44:56):
Yes, it's way up at Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee
and I'm here with John.
Speaker 4 (45:00):
What's happening.
Speaker 5 (45:01):
We were just talking to you about your app lap
and John is a comedian. I'm looking at Roywood Jr.
Speaker 4 (45:07):
Hilarious.
Speaker 5 (45:08):
He put, if you bring a bottle to the barbecue function,
and I know there were a lot of barbecues over
the weekend Memorial Weekend, but nobody cracks it open. Does
possession revert back to the attendee or does the homeowner
retain possession for use at a future function per barbecue
Statute Cove fifty four four nine. Now you think that,
(45:30):
do you get to take the bottle with you? If
you brought it and no one drank it, or do
you have to leave it?
Speaker 4 (45:35):
I think you should get to take it with you,
you know what I mean. First of all, it's disrespect
for your gift that no one cracked it. You don't
have to drink the whole bottle if somebody had to
crack it.
Speaker 5 (45:47):
I think that if you bring a bottle, you should
crack it too, right, Like if you bring a bottle
to a function, you should bring a bottle to something
that you like or everyone, or that the homeowner likes.
Speaker 4 (45:56):
Everyone brings something that they like. But I mean not
just saying that everybody don't like what you brought, you know.
Speaker 5 (46:02):
What I mean, Or maybe there's a lot of liquor
sometimes everybody done, but stuff very true, very you kind
of worry there's not gonna be enough stuff, and so
you're like, you'll bring something, bring something, and then everybody
brings stuff.
Speaker 4 (46:12):
But don't you feel some kind of way when some
when no one opens what.
Speaker 5 (46:15):
You brought, or if you cook something and nobody, Yeah,
that's sad and I ain't gonna lie. That's happened to
my dad all the time. My dad would make this
terrible looking carrot cake and he would be walking around
with it and try to force people to take a piece. Yeah,
and he would look, but it didn't taste that bad.
It looked worse way, but they're not gonna eat it,
(46:37):
you know.
Speaker 4 (46:38):
If he leaves it there, it's going to the trash, right,
so he might as well take it.
Speaker 5 (46:41):
But I also feel bad when people bring something to
eat and knowing especially if you cooked it and you
spend all this time like y'all have made it? Did
you all try to and knowing your food, don't try
my mac and cheese?
Speaker 4 (46:54):
You know, we didn't try your mac and cheese.
Speaker 5 (46:56):
That's awful. Yeah, Or people be like who made this?
Or there's a little bit gone, so you know, the
word spread that it was bad. Well, but my thoughts
as far as what Worrioo Junior was asking if you
bring a bottle to the function but nobody opens it,
that it does not revert back to the attendee you
brought it as a gift. You cannot take the gift back.
So even if no one opened it, you just got
(47:18):
to look at it. And if it was something really
good though, people would have opened it.
Speaker 4 (47:22):
You're right if it was, or you know what, no,
that's not true because let me tell you. Let me
tell you, sometimes you go to a function where people's
too ghetto to see the good things sitting there.
Speaker 5 (47:35):
But anyway, when we come back, we have Tomorrow's Leaders NYC. Now, uh,
these students there, they were over age students. They're generally
classified as someone who's been held back to or more times.
But we're going to talk to them about what happened,
some of the obstacles and then what's going on in
the world today.
Speaker 6 (47:51):
From a teenager's point of view. It's way up with Angela.
Speaker 2 (47:54):
Yee you all right, it is.
Speaker 5 (47:59):
Way up with angel And I'm really excited about this
segment that we're doing. And this is with the future,
because you guys are the future. But we have three
students here with us. We have Ojessa Forbes Hi. We
also have a Shanty Butler Hi and Kwaidair Jordan. How
are you guys doing? Okay? And this is all part
of a program Tomorrow's Leaders NYC Inc. And the program
(48:22):
director is here with us, toy In. How you doing, Toyen,
say your whole name.
Speaker 16 (48:26):
So we My full name is Ola Wa Toyan.
Speaker 5 (48:29):
All right, so can you tell us about Tomorrow's Leaders
before we get into these questions that we're going to
do today.
Speaker 16 (48:34):
So Tomorrow's Leaders is an organization that I found in
twenty eleven. I'm after working at different nonpropagations and having
a background education, I said I wanted to start my
own program. So I thought about my experiences working with youth,
and I always kind of came up with a connection
with kids that have been left back in school. But
then when I decided to go back to school to
study nonprofit management and I came up with a business plan,
(48:56):
I said that, you know what, I'm gonna start my
orgitation focusing on this population of kids.
Speaker 5 (48:59):
You know what's interesting is when I was in college,
I wanted to be a teacher, and so I actually
did in Washington Heights this program called Urban Education, and
there were students there that were kept back for a year.
Speaker 6 (49:13):
But it was different reasons why.
Speaker 5 (49:15):
And I'll tell you what my experience was like, because
I feel like some of them were the most gifted
but were not interested in school, and so I know
sometimes there's a lot of challenges that could be going
on at home or an environment. So I just wanted
to start with you, Odessa, what was your experience because
you're a senior now about to graduate.
Speaker 17 (49:32):
Okay, my experience is a bit different from everyone else.
I was never left back because of academic hardships. It
was mainly because since a young age, I was traveling
all over the world, and so when I finally settled
back in America, they left me back because their teaching
style was way different than where I was before, and
(49:55):
there was also a language barrier. So they were just like,
what is the class that we can put you back
in that would not be too bad?
Speaker 5 (50:04):
And that's why I.
Speaker 6 (50:04):
Get left back.
Speaker 5 (50:05):
Okay, how did that affect you? Did you feel like
that was something that was a reasonable thing to do?
You know reasonable?
Speaker 17 (50:13):
Yes, As as I said, traveled a lot, so it
became normal. But it did affect me in the way
that I was more complacent. I was more reserved, and
I was very much more shy, and so I would
not be as outspoken as I was, and even if
I knew something, I would hold myself back intentionally as
a way not to draw attention to myself, as I
(50:34):
was older than my peers and I was coming in
like fresh meat kind of.
Speaker 5 (50:38):
We are talking to Odessa, Ashanti and Corder they are
students from Tomorrow's leaders. They're over age students, but they
are graduating all right. And Ashanti, you're also a senior
about to graduate.
Speaker 6 (50:50):
Congratulations, So tell me your story.
Speaker 12 (50:54):
When I was two, I was diagnosed with hearing problem,
so I was going back and forth to the hospital.
Speaker 18 (51:00):
So that affected me with school.
Speaker 12 (51:02):
So in the first grade, I got left back once
because I was keep on going back and forth to
the hospital getting surgeries. My mom tried to fight for
a community so I could try to be on my
right grade and try to do what I have to
do for myself and my health, but it wasn't working.
They was keep on denying me and everything. So I
just got left back twice because of my hearing. And
(51:24):
I can think in my sight like I just now
got glasses to this like last year.
Speaker 5 (51:29):
But the glasses are cute, thank you. Now, I did
that affect you?
Speaker 12 (51:34):
Though it affected me because I was the only older
kid in the class, and that I see my other
associates slash friends as moving up to the next grade
and I'm like, dang, I could have been dumb, but
it's not even my fault. It's like it's my health, right,
and that just made me depressed and everything. But I
(51:56):
just kept fighting me and my mother did. I finally
got hearing needs and everything. So I've been working doing
what I have to do, being on honor roll.
Speaker 5 (52:06):
That's right, everything that's great, and quit darn what about you.
Speaker 18 (52:11):
My trouble like with like school and stuff, has started
from grades three to six. In class, I will often
find myself falling behind because we started to learn in
like third grade pendas, parentheses, exponents, multiplication, and et cetera.
Speaker 13 (52:26):
I doesn't forgot, so we started to learn that, and
basically it's like I wouldn't understand it because I would
just do it like you know, how it's put in
front of me, instead of actually doing checking to see
if it's parentheses first exponents.
Speaker 4 (52:42):
Because when they.
Speaker 18 (52:42):
Give you the work and the teachers that I had,
it really wasn't explainable and I had to kind of
figure things out on my own. So by the time
I would be able to figure things out, the class
has already three lessons ahead of me. And like you know,
I passed third grade, but I passed by the skin
of my teeth. But it really didn't cat to me
to a fourth grade okay, where I got left back
(53:03):
and then I had to do the grade again. And
it's not discouraging, but seeing like as Ashanti touched up,
like seeing your friends go on, it really makes you think,
like that could have been me.
Speaker 5 (53:16):
We are talking to Odessa, Ashanta and Corder. They are
students from Tomorrow's Leaders. They're over age students, but they
are graduating. And how did the other students treat you,
like knowing that you were older than them? Was it
a big deal or was it not a big deal.
Speaker 18 (53:32):
I wouldn't call it bullying. I would just call it
like you know, I was just talked about. They'll used
to be like, oh yeah, look at the big dummy
who's still in like fourth grade, when.
Speaker 5 (53:41):
Yeah, that's really fifth.
Speaker 18 (53:42):
So definitely it wasn't bullying to me, only because when
it came to like calling names and stuff, I used
to throw it right back. But it was just a
way for me for like, you know, protecting myself. Yeah,
because I felt like, you know, nobody else is like
the same age as me, and I can't relate to
nobody else. So that was my way of like protecting myself.
Speaker 5 (54:01):
Now, can you talk about this program that you have
Toyan and how this is actually help what the program
does for these students.
Speaker 16 (54:08):
So the program provides social, emotional and academic support to
the kids. We partner with New York City public schools
and charter schools that have a high amount of the population,
and we provide social emotional and academic support during the
school day to those students twice a week with it
for the entire day. The students have messals that are
assigned to them, and then those same students have the
(54:29):
opportunity to get support outside of school. We work with
their families, help the families and out whatever way we can.
Speaker 5 (54:34):
That's great.
Speaker 16 (54:34):
We do. We do a lot of community service. They
do a lot of given These kids are amazing. They
do a lot of giving back to different communities. We
exposed them to different career fields and colleges. We just
came back from Clock Atlanta.
Speaker 6 (54:45):
Actually, I see you got the Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (54:48):
Still put a lot of exposure.
Speaker 16 (54:50):
Because we can educate and empower ourselves, we don't have
to wait on other people to do that for us.
Speaker 5 (54:56):
All right, way up, Addy, Angela Yee and we are
talking to three students from Tomorrow's leaders m YC. That's
Odessa Ashanta and Quadare. They are teenagers, they're over age students,
but they're graduating. And when we come back, we'll talk
about social media and the effects. We always hear about it,
but let's hear about it from the kids themselves. It's
way up at Angela Yee is on What's Up. Its
(55:16):
way up at Angela Yee and we are talking to
students from Tomorrow's Leaders NYC. That's Odessa Ashanti and Quadair
and we are discussing social media. So what do you
think about TikTok? Do you think that it is more
good or more harm for people your age? Teenagers?
Speaker 17 (55:34):
Well, I'm kind of biased because I don't necessarily use TikTok,
but I feel like it's a good outlet for expression
and to have some kind of like agency and freedom
over your life. But with that being said, it is
very much detrimental with the content that is on TikTok
as of now, because I feel like there's just a
(55:54):
wide array of things that's not really educational or very
much motivational on the way that should be. It's more
and more detrimental to the mental health to a lot
of kids. So I feel like it should be kind
of like rained in a little bit more. But I
do think the idea of it and the reason behind
it is good.
Speaker 5 (56:14):
How do you think they should regulate TikTok though, Like
it should be a certain age limit to TikTok, and
like people who post harmful things like it shouldn't be
up there anyway, Like it should be more socially to
people who like enjoy it, like people who like to dance,
people who like to see stuff good stuff happen.
Speaker 12 (56:34):
It should have that type of impact in TikTok.
Speaker 4 (56:37):
Right.
Speaker 12 (56:38):
I don't want to see no self harm. I don't
want to see no somebody getting hit by a car,
none of that. I just want to see good energy,
good vibe.
Speaker 5 (56:46):
Okay. I agree with you all on my page and TikTok.
Speaker 13 (56:50):
Now.
Speaker 5 (56:50):
You guys also talked about having a mentor, right, so
can you talk to me about the value of having
a mentor and what that's done for you?
Speaker 18 (56:58):
Having a mentor is like having a bigger brother or sister.
I feel like having a mentor is like someone that
you can go to with like homework, then like some
things that you can go to like you know, personal
and et cetera. And I also feel like like they're
also there to guide you in life too. Like so far,
I believe I had mentors like through Tomorrow's Leader, also
(57:21):
outside of Tomorrow's Leader, And to this day, I still
contact them and you know, we still keep in touch
with each other because they helped me along the way.
That it is just like it's some things that you
know you just can't forget.
Speaker 5 (57:32):
So right, that's great, go ahead, I can see you
want to jump in.
Speaker 12 (57:38):
Having a mentor is like the best thing that happened
to me, only because I can't really speak to my
mom about half of the things because she got three kids.
I'm a middle child. Nobody really pay attention to the
middle child. Like, so I feel like having a mentor.
They helped me with my homework, They helped me with
my golden life, Like they helped me with a lot
(57:58):
of things. And I could talk old expression our feelings
to them and it's confidential and I liked having that,
like it's like another therapist, but like it's also to
guide me to the future.
Speaker 5 (58:10):
Yeah, and then one day you guys will be mentors.
We are talking to Odessa, Ashante and Corder. They are
students from Tomorrow's Leaders. They're over age students, but they
are graduating. How do you guys vet out mentors in
the program? So I end.
Speaker 16 (58:25):
So I think one of the things that makes this
organation unique is our mentors. Most of them are current
college students or recent college graduates, and we were students
who are looking to get into basically human services way
it feels, but the education, social work, psychology, or just
you know, students who just want to give back to
their community. They want to be mentors.
Speaker 4 (58:45):
So that's how we able to do it.
Speaker 16 (58:46):
And you know, been blessed for the past say nine years,
we've been able to pay the mentors. Oh so they
actually paid it the internship for them. So this is
like for their first foot into the door of working
in human services. And we've have been blessed to have
mentors who's going on to be local loctive officials, principals
who have been teachers, everything in between.
Speaker 5 (59:08):
All right, well, listen you guys. I appreciate y'all for
coming through and chopping it up, because not only did
I want to get into your personal lives and this program,
Tomorrow's leaders, right and Tomorrow's leaders NYC t L NYC.
Speaker 6 (59:20):
What's the website for people.
Speaker 16 (59:21):
That's TLNYC dot org.
Speaker 5 (59:23):
And then I love the fact that y'all came up
here and we're I'm afraid to talk about your own
personal lives and experiences, and the fact that you guys
are all seniors now about to Is.
Speaker 6 (59:34):

Speaker 12 (01:00:22):
I knew I was going to go to college because
I wanted to be the first generation in my family.

little guys, Let's try to work hard, try to break
up to it. Be what you could be, what you want,

With it's relationship with career advice, Angela's dropping facts.
Speaker 5 (01:01:06):
This is what's up its way, but Angela, I'm Angela ye,
and I'm here with my guy John Laster was U
was John Laster, comedian, founder of LAP And we have
Alex on the line for ask ye what's up? Alex?
Speaker 4 (01:01:19):
What up?
Speaker 17 (01:01:20):
Ye?
Speaker 5 (01:01:20):
How are you good?
Speaker 6 (01:01:21):
How are you?
Speaker 8 (01:01:23):
I'm good? I'm good. I had a question about real
estate because you're someone that I look up to in
that and I do we do a lot with it.
So I have my first apartment building with four doors
on it, and thank god it's like fully occupied.
Speaker 6 (01:01:37):
But goodness, my door.
Speaker 4 (01:01:39):
Congratulations, brother, thank you, thank you so much.
Speaker 8 (01:01:43):
The funny thing is that I don't want it to
be fully occupied because I don't like my door to
people and I want to get them out. Their apartment
is the one that kind of smells when.
Speaker 9 (01:01:53):
I walk by.
Speaker 8 (01:01:54):
They do the bad thing with trash and all that
kind of stuff.
Speaker 9 (01:01:57):
They haven't really crossed the.
Speaker 8 (01:01:58):
Line yet with the contract thing like they're having like violated.
They actually pay on time, but I have a bad
feeling about them, and I don't really want.
Speaker 1 (01:02:05):
Them in there.
Speaker 6 (01:02:06):
We are they under lease.
Speaker 1 (01:02:08):
They are under a lease.
Speaker 8 (01:02:10):
It's a six month least with them. But I don't
know is that like is that a bad thing? As
an owner, Like you just have a bad feeling about
somebody and you want them.
Speaker 5 (01:02:19):
I believe interest in your instincts. I also believe in
communicating though, Like have you had a discussion about the
trash and the smell?
Speaker 8 (01:02:28):
They're not really not really, I just yeah, well you
need to.
Speaker 4 (01:02:31):
Have Yeah, you gotta sit down and tell them to
stop cooking that curry.
Speaker 6 (01:02:35):
Or even you know what.
Speaker 5 (01:02:36):
You don't even have to say. You can send them
an email. I love the way curry see, but send
an email, and I think that's the proper way to
go about it, because you always want documentation of things too,
and so I would send an email like, hey, there's
been you know, and you can this is what they do. Also,
you can send it to everyone so that no one
feels single down too, And you can just send an
(01:02:57):
email like, hey, just letting all the tennis know to
be respectful of other tenants. There has been some strange
smells wafting about the hall race wafting all.
Speaker 8 (01:03:10):
But I'm gonna use that word.
Speaker 5 (01:03:13):
And it's also good to set that standard for everyone,
right because that might be something that is an issue
with them, but you don't ever want it to be
an issue with anybody else.
Speaker 6 (01:03:21):
So send it to the whole building and then they
should know.
Speaker 5 (01:03:24):
Oh I think they talk about our.
Speaker 4 (01:03:26):
I disagree with you, and let me tell you to
could come out. No I wouldn't, but you know what,
I think I'm gonna go talk to them one on
one because because when you send an email like that,
whoever it is, it doesn't speak to them. They don't
think that's who's who They're gonna be like, oh, I
know who's saying that this is our next door neighbor. Well,
why don't you just go tell them yourself instead of
(01:03:46):
starting as.
Speaker 5 (01:03:48):
I think that it is important though, that's to set
that standard for everyone.
Speaker 6 (01:03:51):
It's not just singling out.
Speaker 5 (01:03:53):
And then look, it is okay for you to have
that conversation with them as well, but send out an
email to everybody. And I also agree with the sixth
month at least that you have them on. If you
do have a bad feeling, then at least they're under
a six month contract at least agreement, and then you
can ask that you can let them know that they
at least will not be renewed.
Speaker 4 (01:04:10):
Yeah, in my business they say we're going in another direction.
Speaker 8 (01:04:15):
Definitely with them, I love the wording.
Speaker 9 (01:04:17):
I love the words.
Speaker 8 (01:04:18):
So I'm going to send the email. First, I'm gonna
use wasting, and then if anything worth comes to worse,
I'm gonna just have to deal with the smell for
like six months and then I can find someone that
smells better.
Speaker 6 (01:04:28):
Yeah, yeah, what does the smell exactly?
Speaker 8 (01:04:32):
It's it's it is now that you say curry, like
I kind of smell that, but it's a mix of
that and like and like straight up trash. So it's
like the screeps up in Unit be.
Speaker 5 (01:04:41):
Yeah yeah, no, definitely send it out, but you also
should talk to them directly and just be like, Okay,
did you see the email that was directed at you?
Speaker 4 (01:04:49):
And it's unacceptable, you know what, because it's one thing,
like if you don't like somebody, but once, once, whatever
you're doing, you're doing affects me outside of bounds. So
if you can smell what they're doing, that's too much.
You don't have to feel bad about that. Like what
you're doing is now affecting other people in the building.
That's out. Yeah, you gotta you gotta go in another direction.
Speaker 8 (01:05:08):
I okay, So I feel like I'm doing the right Okay,
that's the right thing that I'm not like it's.
Speaker 6 (01:05:14):
For you, it's for everyone in the building.
Speaker 8 (01:05:16):
Yeah, so true, So for the better good of of
ma right, okay, okay, thanks Alex.
Speaker 5 (01:05:27):

single day, you guys have the final say on the

high rate of speed and swerving in and out of lanes. Fortunately,

partper her mugshot is out there now.
Speaker 6 (01:06:49):
They did a filled to bridy test.
Speaker 5 (01:06:51):
They said she failed that and later on took a

the officer, she was handcuffed and taking to jail. She
was booked on three felony charges DUI leaving the scene
of a crash with serious bodily injury and do UI
damage to property. They said the man that was hit

leaders NYC for coming by today and joining us. I
thought it was a great conversation with these students. They're
overage students having gotten left back and are now graduating,

social media, were bullying, etc. And their plans for the future,

Thank you.
Speaker 10 (01:08:17):
Hey, Angela, my name is Cornen. I'm calling from Memphis.
I was wanting to time in on the gurus of
social media come in and how the men feel as
if women are throwing them off. Well, I was in
a six year relationship that totally drew me off my rocker.
I had three jobs at the time. Then I was
(01:08:38):
going to school when that message guy. However, he felt
like I was just too busy for him, but he
asked me to quit one of my jobs, and then
I end up getting far from my second job. So
now I'm down to one job. But the whole point
of you asking me the week that first job was
so that we could spend time together. But he's also
(01:08:58):
made the comment that he would fill in on the
finances on that job as well. Will that never happen?
