I was in Houston over the weekend and I was
there for the Honeyland Festival and at a lot of
that is about food. And he had his Chiro Burger's
out there at the festival and when I tell you,
that line never stopped and not only.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
That bumby was there.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
I love when somebody is the face of a business
and it's their business, but they also are very present
in promoting that business.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Right Dan, you're shaking your head.

Speaker 5 (02:14):
Yeah, I agree, yes.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
And I actually got to try the veggie Trio Burger.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
It was amazing.

Speaker 5 (02:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
I was like, yeah, show, this isn't me, but shout
out to you, bumby for doing doing a thing. Okay,
And now who do you want to shine a light on?
Eight hundred two nine fifty Liomi, how are you hi?

Speaker 6 (02:33):
Everily? How are you the one good?

Speaker 2 (02:35):
I love your energy already? You just made me perk up?
Put do you want to shine a light on?

Speaker 7 (02:39):
I want to try the light out to my man.
That's not my man, but that's my man, Okay. I
want to try a lot on him because he's always
helping everybody out around him, me included. I just shot
my car, my own car, but he's been lending me
his car for like almost a whole year while I
saved up my money to get my own. So I

(03:00):
just want to make a shout out to him, thank
you so much for helping me and all that you do.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
I like that, and I like that you can acknowledge
like sometimes we take people for granted, but that is
a big deal.

Speaker 8 (03:11):
Exactly, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 9 (03:12):
I mean he's not a perfect.

Speaker 7 (03:14):
At all, a mess, but she's so good, so exactly.
I gotta be honest. I gotta be honest.

Speaker 9 (03:23):
I gotta be honest.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Here, mess girl, but that's my mess.

Speaker 7 (03:27):
Yeah, that's my mess by. I appreciate every little bit
of it. All right, thank you, thank you so much.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
All right, Well that was shine a light.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Eight hundred ninety fifty is a number in case you
couldn't get through. And when we come back, we have
a yea tea and let's talk about Drake and j Cole,
what they got going on?

Speaker 3 (03:45):
This way up with Angela, yee yea t is next.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
They say in the rooms from industry shade to all
of gossip out Angela's feeling that ye, all right, it's.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Way up with Angela, yea, I'm Angela. Ye's time for
some yet and shout out to Tim. She performed at
Honeyland Festival over the weekend too, the first ever Honeyland
Festival in Houston. All right, And speaking of performing, Drake
has announced some dates for twenty twenty four. He is
getting to the money, by the way, and it's all
a blur tour, big as the What and Jay Cole

(04:16):
is going to be on a lot of these dates.
It kicks off January eighteenth and Denver, Colorado. Now feel
bad for the people who are gonna miss Jay Cole
on the dates, like my producer Dan. Yeah, I'm you're sad,
but I'm sure J Cole probably has his other responsibilities
of things that he's doing.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
So some of those.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Dates, if you're in Belmont Park, New York, if you're
in State College, Pennsylvania, Sunrise, Florida, Birmingham, Alabama, unfortunately for you,
J Cole will not be on those dates.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
But I'm sure everybody's gonna be.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Lined up to go see Drake, and I'm sure he'll
fill it in with somebody else. Right, All right, Now,
let's get into a Little Scrappy and Erica Dixon. The
two of them have been hanging out a lot to
together now. At first, it seemed like Little Scrappy was
getting back together with Diamond. Remember we saw Diamond at
the BT Hip Hop Awards, and it seemed like the

(05:09):
two of them were, you know, back to being a thing. Well,
it looks like now Little Scrappy and Erica Dixon may
potentially be rekindling their flames. If you watch Love and
Hip Hop, you know how we did not anticipate this happening,
this spinning of the black. But here's what the two
of them had to say on Live Together.

Speaker 10 (05:28):
I'll be mad because me and my baby daddy, can
call parent and get to the money. I'm sorry you
can't get to the money with your baby daddy.

Speaker 5 (05:34):
You know what I'm saying. He's not around.

Speaker 10 (05:36):
I mean, step out, game up, say your frame up, sir.
Don't be mad at me.

Speaker 5 (05:42):
I want my baby Mamado be mad at you. I
want my baby mama.

Speaker 9 (05:45):
Though.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
All right, now, this is also different because Bambi broke up.
Bamby and Scrappy broke up, and I'm sure she feels
a way about Scrappy getting back together with Erica because
the two of them did not really get along at all.
And here's what Bamby had to say to Leah Henry
when asked how she feels about the two of them reuniting.

Speaker 11 (06:04):
Did he give you any indication when y'all were in
this relationship that they were that was a.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
Thing, because it's looking very comfortable to me.

Speaker 12 (06:11):
No, No, he never did. And then the thing about
it is, honestly, I have completely moved on. But it's
like now looking back, when you've heard someone say the
types of things that he said about both of these
women and then see where he is today. It just
lets me know that I made the right decision.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
All right, In addition to that, Chaotic has weight and
it feels like he's making a joke. But he posted
Scrappy and Erica eloped, y'all, that's why they ain't take
me to Vegas with them because Scrappy got a new
best man.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
So don't know what's really.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Going on with the two of them, but apparently they've
spinning the block all right. Meek Mill has reacted to
first week sales projections for his joint project with Rick
Ross Too Good to be True. It looks like it's
estimated to do between thirty and thirty five thousand units
first seven days. People thought it was gonna do better
than that because they've been promoting this album heavily. But

(07:04):
meck Miil went on social media and said, it says
me and Rick rorels on Pace to sell thirty five
k first week. I would post if it said three
hundred and fifty k. I'm too nice and rich to
be rapping in a controlled music environment. That's why we
drop in music on Fridays. It doesn't make sense. Now
we all own our music. We get in the tech
buil to put people on our own musical subscriptions, and
we're gonna let direct to consumers see if rap is

(07:25):
doing well, and he said the streets loved this album too.
I'm gonna use every drop of my talent now. I
own one hundred percent of my music now. So yeah,
that's what Meek Miil had to say about those numbers.
He also said that he never wanted to be on billboards.
A lot of them guys they marketed and in front
of us can't make one hundred K today and people
believe that though I want that market too, I'm hungry lol.

(07:46):
And he also talked about the dangers of staring at
social media, fantasizing about other people's lives and getting mentally sick.
All right, well that is your e T. And when
we come back, we have about last night. Now let's
get into some classic hip hop. Is Biggie from Brooklyn
where I'm from. Big Papa is way up last night?

Speaker 5 (08:04):
So about last night?

Speaker 11 (08:06):
Last night?

Speaker 5 (08:08):
Last night I went down.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
It's way up with Adela Yee. I'm Angela Yee. Happy Monday,
and it's time for about last night.

Speaker 10 (08:15):
Now.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
Dan is here, yes, ma'am. We had some headphones sitting
here for Mayno. I don't know what happened to him.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Today because he's usually very excited for tell us a secret,
as you guys should be too. But for about last night. First,
I want to talk about my guy, Donelle Rawlings. Right
on Friday, he filmed his Netflix special. Of course Dave
Chappelle is producing it, so Dave was there also.

Speaker 5 (08:37):
I was it.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
It was really really good.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
He did two shows at the hard Rock in New
York City and very funny I went to so previously
he taped one and this was in Charlotte. This was
during COVID, so people had on masks and it just
was not the vibe that this was. And I think
it's good that he redid it, he said. Dave told him, Eh,
when they were looking at the editing, I think we

(09:01):
need to do it again. So he scrapped that last
So he scrapped the last one and redid it. And
I think it's important to be able to take that
type of critique from somebody who wants what's best for you,
because it's also Dave's name on it too, so he's
not just saying that. And Donnelle said, at first he
was like uh, but then he got the check and
he was like, all right, we'll do it. Again and
so this one was amazing, So shout out to him.
I invited. I told Donelle I'm bringing I brought like

(09:23):
fifteen people with me because that's my guy.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
I love Donnelle.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Y'all don't understand like I've known Donell since before the
Chappelle Show.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
He used to live in Brooklyn.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
I used to go to all his stand up and
so he talked about that too, you know, being at
Polk Knockers and all of that back in the day
and has come up in the business. So great, great,
great time, my friend. There was an after party too.
By the way, my friends were very very lit at
the after party, and they do take your phones, all right.
And then the next morning I headed out on a
seven thirty am flight to Houston, did not sleep, and

(09:54):
went to Honeyland Festival. This is the first time they've
done that at my job. At this festival was I
had to sit down with Tabitha Brown. Now Tabitha Brown,
when I tell you, people go so crazy for her.
This was my first time having a conversation with her
and it was amazing. And what I love about her
story is she actually used to want to do stand

(10:15):
up comedy and she is an actor, but she had
a tough time in the beginning booking work. And so
what really popped he off was about six years ago
she did a review of a Whole Foods plant based
sandwich and it went viral, and then Whole Foods contacted
her and then she ended up being an influencer for
Whole Foods. And so just hearing her journey and she's

(10:36):
truly like a great, nice, sweet person. They call her
America's Mom. She just got nominated for two Emmys. She
has a best selling a New York Times best selling book.
She's an author, but she also has a vegan based
show on the Food Network, the first time they've ever
done that.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
A competition show. It's complicated.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
So it was just an honor for me to be
able to sit down and have a conversation with her
about manifestation and and you know, pivoting in her career
and being able to do all the things that she
wants to do and having to say no to people.
Sometimes she says she has no problem saying no. She
could say it in every language. Sometimes it's really hard
when you're trying to make it and you want to
do everything you can, so out of active weekend.

Speaker 13 (11:15):
Sounds like it. How are you feeling now?

Speaker 3 (11:17):
A little stuffy?

Speaker 4 (11:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (11:18):
Need some rest?

Speaker 3 (11:19):
I need some rest, But we keep it moving guys.
And you know why.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
It's on Monday, and so why don't you entertain me
with tell us a secret. Some people be thinking it's
not real. I should go live and show people behind
the scenes how real. Tell us a secret is when

Speaker 9 (12:24):
Months, uh huh, and I have been denying him.

Speaker 6 (12:26):
So I basically told him that if he paid me
seven hundred dollars, I would do it. And he was like,
all right, I'll get you the money, dalla, So I
get your talents, we're about to do it. He could
not get it up. But what I did do is
make sure I got my money first. And I'm this
there for over an hour trying to like work with him.

(12:48):
He's like, move in this position, do this, do that,
but nothing works.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
But I got some und Now why seven hundred dollars?
What made you pick that number?

Speaker 11 (12:57):
You know?

Speaker 6 (12:58):
I tried to like arguing with him first. I wanted
a thousand, but he told me you didn't have it.

Speaker 14 (13:03):
That was kind of the.

Speaker 6 (13:04):
Most that I could get him to like break his bank,
and he literally like went into his faith and gave
me like six hundred and cash and and jail the rest.
So it was kind of like all I could get
from him, basically have.

He said, no, Realiz, baby, it didn't work.

Speaker 6 (13:29):
I'm like, read, no, I don't think I will do
it again. But I definitely feel like the money that
I got in the situation. It was like, Okay, it
wasn't as bad as I thought it was.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
You didn't have to do anything. I could have been
way worse.

Speaker 6 (13:48):
Yeah, I wish Mayna was there so I could tell him.

All right, it is way up with Angela yee. I'm
Angela yee and it's time for some yet so Finess
two times has decided after being in a polygamous relationship
to just have one woman. And when he was on
lip service, he first announced this.

Speaker 15 (15:48):
You know, I'm gonna put nagaminent like I like, I
gotta have more than one woman.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
But they know about each other.

Speaker 5 (15:53):
Guy know we stay together.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
Oh how many women?

Speaker 5 (15:57):
Three?

Speaker 3 (15:58):
All right? So he did it on point have three women.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
But now he posted on social media, I'm focusing on
FNG sugar only. I don't need two to three women
no more. I got kids. That is ain't what up?
And now this ain't about no baby mama. Ish on
my baby mama's now I take care of mine here
or not. And that's his long time girlfriend too. She
actually had gotten a pretty big tattoo of his face

(16:23):
and said that she'd been thinking about getting it for
quite some time and finally did it. And she had
posted that tattoo on social media and he actually hooked
her up at the tattoo artists and everything. Okay, so
now he's decided that's the one.

Speaker 3 (16:38):
Give him some applause for that again.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
I mean, good for you, all right now, money bag
Yo and Ari Fletcher are they married or is she
just being sarcastic? Somebody posted I love Ari, but a
man not going to marry a woman who posts her
body all over the internet. And she said, I've been
married for two years, so maybe they really are married,
or maybe she's like, shut out, mind your business. What Dan,

(17:03):
I'm just listening. Oh okay, I'm not waiting in on
these women's business all right now, This was an interesting
story to me. This happened on Delta Now shout out
to Bobby's Storm. She's a Grammy nominated singer. Really excited
for her. She's up for two Grammys and found out
while she was getting on this flight, and she decided

(17:24):
that she wanted to bless everybody that was there on
the flight with a little performance similar to how Beanie
Man was on the flight performing and everybody was excited
and that would viral. Everybody's like, that's dope. Well, here's
what happened when she tried to perform on the plane.

Speaker 5 (17:37):
Can you please answer my question? Are you willing and
able to be quiet?

Speaker 11 (17:40):
Right now?

Speaker 5 (17:40):
I'm doing what the Lord is sound. I'm asking me
a question, yes or no. I'm your flight leader.

Speaker 13 (17:44):
I need you to follow my instruction, my instruction tree
to answer my question, are you.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
Able to be quiet?

Speaker 5 (17:49):
What do you if you're not able to be to
follow my instruction.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
You will not be.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
Taking this flight all right now.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
Since then, she posted on social media, at the end
of the day, God is glorified, Temmy, how are you
choosing love on purpose? Blessings to you are from your
fearless flight singer, we can't forget him The Maverick Way.
She's a featured vocalist on Maverick City Music's latest Grammy
nominated album Also and here is what she had to say,
because Delta did reach out after this.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
My thoughts are you know?

Speaker 2 (18:18):
I fly a lot, and Dan and I had a
little back and forth about this behind the scenes, and
that's when I brought up the whole Beanie Man situation,
and that wouldn't have bothered me personally. I saw a
lot of people in a commenting what if you're not
a Christian? What if you don't feel like hearing this?
What if you're a different religion and it's being forced
upon you. I just kind of feel like she got

(18:39):
nominated for two Grammys. That's really exciting. If I could sing,
I would have sang too. For a hot second, what
do you think Dan?

Speaker 5 (18:46):
I get it?

Speaker 13 (18:47):
And I also feel like it's not what you say,
it's how you say it. But on the flip side,
like I don't know, I write public transportation all the time.
When people start singing, I can't stand it, just like,
let me alone. It's nothing personal. It's no I have
no issue with you, like congratulations, y'ah, bless you, but le.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
And maybe for me, I'm a New Yorker and I
am used to people doing whatever all the time, so
it doesn't really bother me because I'm used to it.
You're going to you could ignore it, you know, or
you could not, or you could just be like, congratulations
and you know, let's celebrate with you.

Speaker 3 (19:15):
Here's what you had to say about Delta reaching out
After Delta, they did reach out to me.

Speaker 16 (19:19):
I don't want this man to be reprimanded where he
loses his job. I simply want us to keep in
mind how to treat each other. There was no rules
being broken, and it was just me spreading my joy
with people after they gave me the go to do so.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Yeah, so she was just spending some joy. And I
do feel like the way he talked to her was
a lot. You know, she's singing. She got nominated like
I would have been like, congratulations.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
That is so dope.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
Listen, you know, just out of respect for the other
people on the flight, if you could not sing on
the you know, you did your thing. Girl, congrats, but
let's keep it moving.

Speaker 13 (19:57):
It's not what you say, it's how you say it.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yeah so, but congratulations to you. Bobby's storm. That's a
huge deal. All right, Well that is your yet. And
when we come back, we have under the radar, and
these are stories that are not necessarily in the headlines.
They are flying under the radar. You know what, Let's
talk about somebody else. A Starbucks worker. He actually gave
up all these different recipes. He's not working there anymore,

(20:20):
and he wants people to boycott. We'll give you a
full story. But when we come back again and under
the radar, right now, let's do some hate it or
love it.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
It's a game feature in fifty cent. It's way up
that relates to you.

Speaker 4 (20:32):
These stories are flying under the radar.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
All right.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
It's way up with Angela ye. I'm Angela Yee, and
it's time for under the radar. We got to start
with this because we always want to make sure we
are doing our service to everybody. Krispy Kreme is giving
away free boxes of donuts.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
It's World Kindness Day. So today that's the promotion.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
Now, only the first five hundred guests that visit each
Krispy Kreme store that's participating, we'll get a free box
of donuts.

Speaker 3 (20:57):
And it's taking place only in the United States. That's dope.
I'm here for it, all right.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
So make sure you guys go get your krispy Kreme donut.
Krispy Kreme, you do, all right. Now, I want to
see what you guys think about this. The We Work founder,
we all know We Work as filed for bankruptcy.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
Adam Newman.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
He has a new house in Miami as the company
that he started that he's the founder of is going bankrupt.
A lot of people out of jobs, out of work.
They said, morale is horrific at we Work. But in
the meantime, Adam Newman is doing just fine. He's actually
worth about one point seven billion dollars and he's living
right by Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump with their kids.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
It's you know, that's a hard.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
One because people hate to see you flaunch your wealth
while the people who worked at your company got burned
the way that they have.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
But what can you do? That's his personal.

Speaker 5 (21:48):
That's tough.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
Why you say it's tough.

Speaker 13 (21:50):
Because all those people just lost everything. Let's say, you know,
all those people that were at high in ranking positions
in that job, they just lost it, and here he
is living.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
But you know, so that's why people start companies, and
it doesn't a lot of times it doesn't affect your
personal wealth.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
Your company can go bankrupt.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
And they did oust him from the company, so he
hasn't been there for a while. But he's also launching
something new, right So right now he has a company
called Flow.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
It's his latest startup.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
He got a three hundred and fifty million dollar investment
already for that company, and there are mega investors. It
has a one billion dollar valuation as of August of
twenty twenty two, and it hasn't even launched yet. They're
going to build rental communities that will farster a feeling
of ownership and community. Another another project, all right, could

(22:40):
be interesting, I don't know, But that's just a tough
one to see somebody just thriving in that way and
you're like, eh, all right, and now let's talk about Starbucks.
Starbucks worker has encouraged people to boycott, and in the
midst of doing all that, he went on TikTok to
expose some drink recipes before he quit.

Speaker 3 (22:58):
And this's got a whole lot of views.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
Wants you to boycott, but he wants you to be
able to make these drinks you love at home.

Speaker 3 (23:03):
Here's what he said, welcome back.

Speaker 12 (23:05):
To my series where I show you how to make
all the different Starbucks drinks as somebody who's about to
leave the company, So you can participate in your boycott and.

Speaker 5 (23:11):
Still be able to drink all of the drinks in.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
The world too, all right, And the context of all
of this is he is upset about the ongoing conflict
between Starbucks corporate and their union and their stance on
the Israel Palestine conflict in the Middle East, and so
he wants people to boycott, but make these.

Speaker 3 (23:28):
Drinks at home.

Speaker 5 (23:28):
Sounds like a lawsuits.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
Oh that he gave out that information. Yeah, there's an
NDIA and you're not allowed to do that. It does
sound like what Yeah, but if he doesn't have anything,
then it wouldn't matter if he's not. You know, when
you get sued if you don't have the money, then what.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
All right?

Speaker 2 (23:43):
Well that is your under the radar, and you know
we got that way up mixed at the top of
the hour on a Monday. Plus, we have special guests
Courtney B. Vance and doctor Robin L. Smith joining us
about their book The Invisible Eche black Men, Identifying their
Pain and Reclaiming their Power.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
It's way up with Angela Yee, just.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
Like the tut like they Angela Jean like they Angela
Jean Man.

Speaker 4 (24:04):
She's spilling it all.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
This is yet way all right. It's the way you
put the Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee. Happy Monday. Let's
get into some ye t all right.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
Dave East was on the My Expert Opinion podcast and
one of the things that he talked about was not
drinking Lean anymore. And I love when people give up
Lean because honestly, I haven't seen her do anything positive
and we've seen so many different people really struggle with
that and even die from it. So here's what Davi's
had to say, Draja and.

Speaker 5 (24:35):
Test us up. Dehydrate shit body. That used to scare
me because I could be chilling sipping and go to
sleep and wake up with the putting me on the floor,
real pain.

Speaker 17 (24:46):
And I went through that getting off this in my
mind while I was having some m if this is
the pain I'm gonna feel every time I don't got this.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
I can't do this, all right?

Speaker 2 (24:56):
And then he also shared that when he asked uh
most of his friends and loved ones, they hated it,
and they revealed that he actually lost one of his
close friends who also abused the substance, and so he
said his death scared him while reflecting on what would
have become of himself if he continued to keep on
drinking that lean. So you got to make sure, Yeah, Dan,

(25:17):
you were going to say something.

Speaker 13 (25:18):
No, I mean, it's it's great to hear when people
open up about why they left, why they stopped doing that, and.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Hopefully that will discourage people from even starting. And also
for people who are listening and maybe already indulging, that
might encourage you to be like, I do need to
stop doing this too. I remember Paul Wall talking about
it before and the weight that he had gained from it,
and how it slows down your metabolism, so much of it,
when I said, and having to really kick that habit,

(25:44):
all right, Keiki Palmer oh Man, her ex Darius Jackson.
Jackson is denying these abuse allegations against him, and TMZ
has some new information. Now I guess he's attempting to
put out messages between himself and a phone call that happened,
and we're going to explain this all. So here's the

(26:05):
phone call. So this is Keiki Palmer's mother who is
talking to.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
Him, watch out with a bullet in your.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
All right, So he's saying that Kiki's Pama's mother threatened
to put a bullet in his head. And then there
were some messages between Kiki's mom and Darius's mother.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
It says, hello, Sharon, how are you.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
I've tried not to get involved in my son's personal business,
but I heard that you were going to put a
bullet in my son's head. Well, then now we have
to involve the authorities because you don't respect or value
yourself and I can see not my son's life. You
might have to kill all of us. I will follow
a police report on you now, all right. Now, There
is also an update to that on TMZ. It says
a source close to Keiki Palmer says Darius Jackson made

(26:49):
his way into her home that Sunday, began to cuss
Keky out as.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
She was on the phone with Sharon, her mom, and.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
We're told that she made the third about the bullet
because she fared for her daughter's safety and couldn't be
there in person to protect Kiki. So the messages that
he put out was really just that's what happened behind
the scenes. He went into the house, was threatening her
at Kiki's mom couldn't do it. I think any mom
would say that about their child, I'll put a bullet
in your head.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
Not that you you know, would do.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
That, but in defense of your child, and knowing that
there's a baby in the house, that's the type of
conversations that could take place. It's just sad to see
all of this playing out while they have an infant
son and that they have to go through this. And
I'm sure for Kiki having given birth to a baby,
this is not easy to have All of this public.

Speaker 13 (27:34):
Happened so quickly too.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
When day you're in love and you know, people talk
about the warning signs. They hated what he had to
say when she was at the Usher concert and he
told her, you know you're a mom, you shouldn't be
that was for people a red flag, and then all
of this is happening, and so I feel like she's
constantly try to keep things private when it comes to
her relationship, but unfortunately this is spilling over, and you know,

(28:00):
we'll see as everything plays out.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
We just want to show our supports, all right, nas.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
His audition tape for Paid and Full has appeared online.
I love watching these audition tapes. Somebody just recently had
one that was that was pretty good, awesome. I'm trying
to remember who it was, but anyway, here's his audition tape.

Speaker 5 (28:18):
Yo. Ways right, shure yo.

Speaker 14 (28:21):
This new ful fitty got the dual gold rims with
the golden sitting off front. He's got the tour on
the hood right living.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
You know, I feel like they should they be allowed
to put these things out because sometimes it's a little embarrassing,
Like you're doing an audition tape. You don't think the
world is going to see it. It's supposed to be
just for somebody to see.

Speaker 13 (28:44):
But you know, have you ever done an audition tape.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
I've auditioned for things, so I'm sure there's tapes that exist. Yeah,
I didn't make it myself, but yeah, I'm sure I
don't even remember it was probably so, you know, I
don't know if I really have. I'm trying to think
if I've ever liked audition. People have asked me to
do things and they've been like, come in and read
for this, so yeah, so yeah, definitely.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
And I also want to talk about this movie, the Marvels.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
It debuted with forty seven million dollars and they're saying
that's like a low yeah for Marvel Marvels. But I
do want to note that it was a strike going on,
so normally people were and you know, I hate this
because a woman, a black woman, actually directed this, Yeah,
Nia DaCosta. So I just hate that for her because

(29:29):
it's not that it was a difficult time to put
out a movie when people could not promote.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
And it was also led by women too.

Speaker 13 (29:39):
So yeah, Marvel always puts so much into their.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
Yes, marketing, yeah, and promotions, so it just kind of
was like a bad timing for something like that to happen.

Speaker 3 (29:48):
So go and support.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
All right, Well that is your yee tee and when
we come back, we have asked yee eight hundred two
nine two fifty one fifty any question.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
You have when you are here to help. Its way
up with Angela.

Speaker 4 (29:58):
Girl, whether it's relationship or career advice, Angela's dropping.

Speaker 11 (30:03):
Facts, you should ask what's up?

Speaker 3 (30:07):
Its way up at Angela Ye.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
I'm Angela yee, and it's time for ask ye eight
hundred and two ninety two fifty one fifty anything you
have going on, I'm here to help.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
What's up? Candice? How are you?

Speaker 11 (30:17):
I'm blessed?

Speaker 16 (30:18):
How are you?

Speaker 3 (30:19):
Oh? I'm blessed too. In that case, what's your question today?

Speaker 11 (30:23):
I was in an abusive relationship for over eight years
and I've been out of it for years now, and
what I'm asking is how do I get back out
there in the dating world because I ugly myself up
so I can't attract guys or women, and now I
want to get back out there.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
All right, Well, first of all, I think before you
even date, you got to learn to love yourself again.

Speaker 3 (30:49):
And trust me, I know that's not easy.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
After coming out of an unhealthy relationship where this person
was abusive towards you. First of all, you got out
and some people don't even do that. So, like you
said that, you are blessed and you deserve happiness. You
deserve love. But now the important part is building yourself
back up again. Have you ever gotten help from anybody?

Speaker 11 (31:11):
So I'm getting my mind back, Okay, my body, but
now it's like I want my heart.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
Yes, and be patient with yourself because it does take
time to heal from your past. Now, one thing I
always say about relationships that's a positive thing is that
when you go through something like that, you know what
to look for in the future and what those signs
are and what you don't want.

Speaker 11 (31:33):
Being in an abusive relationship. Sometimes you don't see the
red signs until it's too.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
Late, right, But I think now moving forward, like trust
yourself and your instincts and it's okay for you discuss
your past relationship. I think going to therapy that's going
to be an ongoing thing. You definitely have PTSD from
your past traumatic situations, and.

Speaker 3 (31:54):
So you know with that that's going to be a constant.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
You making sure that you're speaking to someone being open
and honest, being able to communicate and anybody you do
decide to give a chance to and talk to, just
make sure that somebody that you can communicate with and
be open with about things that you've gone through. So
that if something triggers you or reminds you of any
type of behavior that you've experienced in the past, you

(32:19):
can let them know right away. I think it's important
to know what you're looking for, too, like what is
it that you want in a person, and that might
mean that you decide those things and then perhaps a
matchmaker might be something good if you're serious about that.
Even online dating, so you can talk to somebody before
you even take those steps to meet in person.

Speaker 11 (32:38):
That's something to think about.

Speaker 5 (32:39):
I didn't even think about.

Speaker 8 (32:40):
It like that.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Thank you, Yeah, like just getting Yeah, no, listen, it's
scary no matter what, because you know, dating today.

Speaker 8 (32:49):
Is really beautiful.

Speaker 11 (32:50):
For so many years, I've ugly myself up and it's like,
oh my god, I'm beautiful, but I don't know how
to do that now.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
Can this date yourself first?

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Like, do some things really positive for yourself, you know,
go and do what you need to do, get that
make over, get that new haircut, whatever it is that
you need to do to feel better about yourself, because,
like you said, you are beautiful and you can't let
somebody else's pass what they've done dictate you moving forward
in the future because you don't want that to continue
to have a hold on you. What you can say

(33:22):
is I learned from that situation. I survived it, and
now I'm ready to learn.

Speaker 3 (33:28):
I've learned.

Speaker 11 (33:29):
I've survived, And I talked to other women that I
see is going through things, and that was the biggest
thing for me. I didn't think about, Okay, why is
this happening to me? I thought about, okay, now, what
can I do to help someone else?

Speaker 14 (33:43):
Right?

Speaker 11 (33:43):
See the signs and not have to go through this.

Speaker 3 (33:45):
So I talk to women and I tell women and men.

Speaker 11 (33:48):
Yeah, I was an abusive relationship.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
And this is what it does.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
And talk to yourself too, you know, and prioritizing yourself
and your self care and making sure that you are
at your back, you know, whether that's thinking about like
what you're eating, because sometimes even just changing our diet.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
I was talking about this over the weekend.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
Just sometimes certain things make us feel more energetic, better
about ourselves, making sure we're getting the proper nutrients. But
then also, like you said, physically putting yourself together the
way that you know, you know, you fly all right,
so get back.

Speaker 11 (34:20):
To try to But you know what though, what keeps
me knowing on fly is listening to you every day,
and that's what made me get the seriously, that's what
made me get the courage to actually call in and
tell you.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
You know, and for your advice, well, thank you, Kennie.
And listen.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
Group settings, I think that's always a great thing. Do
you have friends and family, like a support system of
people around you.

Speaker 11 (34:43):
I have a small support system because it's again hard
for me to trust. So some friends that I had
that were really, really truly good friends with what I
was going through, I kind of pushed them away and
alienated them because I was afraid of them and made
it really right. So now now that I'm starting to
get out there more, I started to reach out and

(35:06):
I started to be honest with how my friends what
I was going through.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
That's right, this is not going to have a control
over you anymore. So I just want to say, like, even,
don't put that pressure on yourself, right, just get back
to you. But group settings, going out with your friends,
just even being outside again, just having conversations with people,
all of that so that you could feel a little
bit more comfortable and pay attention to your instincts still,

(35:29):
you know, And so now you know and and just
go outside like it's there's people out there, there's I
believe there's more good people than bad people in this world. Okay,
and that's a fact. And everybody don't got to be
a potential mate. It could be just you know, a
potential friend.

Speaker 6 (35:46):
Want right now?

Speaker 11 (35:48):
Yeah, I just want friends and just let whatever happened
is supposed to happen.

Speaker 5 (35:52):
But now I'm more aware.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
Okay, well, ken this, I look forward to you being
back outside. Thank you so much. What should have been
in here Detroit?

Speaker 2 (36:02):
Okay, Oh okay, you know I love the d I'm
gonna be out there December second and December seventeen, so
I'm gonna look for you.

Speaker 3 (36:08):
Hit me up, dm me you know what.

Speaker 11 (36:10):
I thank you and I appreciate you.

Speaker 3 (36:13):
Maybe we'll go do some hot yoga anything.

Speaker 5 (36:16):
I would greatly appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
LCD Studios, all right, hold on the line, okay, yes, ma'am. Okay,
all right, Well that was ask ye. And when we
come back, we have very special guests joining us, Courtney B.
Vance and doctor Robin L. Smith with their book The
Invisible Ache, Black Men Identifying their Pain and Reclaiming their Power.

Speaker 3 (36:35):
It's way up at Angela. Ye doan you said, let's
kidd let's go.

Speaker 5 (36:40):
Way up with Angela. He is back to set off
your workday.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
What's up? It's way up with Angela.

Speaker 5 (36:46):
Yee.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
I'm Angela yee. My guy Mano is all right.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
And we have Courtney B. Vance and doctor Robin el
Smith here talking about this book, The Invisible Ache. The
lot of this book is about black men identifying their
pain and may know, I feel like it's somebody that
hasn't tapped into.

Speaker 15 (37:02):
That I tapped in understandable that as a black man
that there's a lot of issues that we haven't addressed.
I spent a lot of years in prison, you know,
you couple that with just being in the type environment
that I grew up in. Did is a lot of
things that we haven't dealt with and you don't know
until later on. I went through a period of time
while I was getting a lot of therapy because I

(37:23):
had needed it at that time. But I think therapy
is you can continue to get it. I don't think
you can get it for a time a certain time
and then stopped.

Speaker 3 (37:31):
Oh no, that's why we're here, That's what the Invisible
Way is about. And let me just say something.

Speaker 18 (37:35):
I love what you just said about being in prison,
not that you were there, but everybody's in prison, whether
they know it or not. Some people are locked up,
which is different than the prison we have in our minds,
and is that prison that many black men, black boys,
and black people do not realize that just because we

(37:58):
are no longer enslaved does not mean there are not
shackles on our thoughts, on our minds, that we are
not living into lies instead of the truth about who
we were destined and born to be.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
The way you guys put this book together is very unique.
We have doctor Rabin, who we've all seen and very
acclaimed therapists psychiatrists from OPRAH, and then of course Courtney
b Vance, who, by the way, besides being just an
extraordinary actor, but you guys came together to do this book,
and Courtney you shared a lot of things about yourself

(38:32):
that also led to you seeking out therapy. And then
doctor Rabin you also explained in these chapter as he
was talking about things from his childhood and his adulthood
that led to you guys kind of coming to get
her to do this.

Speaker 3 (38:43):
What made you decide this was necessary?

Speaker 17 (38:46):
Well, it's necessary for me because I was in I
was shackled and didn't realize it until my mother asked
my sister and I after we spend a month getting
my mother's affairs together. After my thought that passed away,
she challenged us as we were about to leave. She said,
I want you to get some therapy, find a therapist, and.

Speaker 18 (39:09):
Courtney because Doty Vance died by suicide, so you didn't
just pass away by suicide.

Speaker 3 (39:15):
So that's what mommy said.

Speaker 11 (39:16):
We're going do.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
We got to do this right now, Mano and I
are talking to actor Courtney B. Vance and doctor Robin L.

Speaker 3 (39:24):
Smith. I have like twenty questions from what you just said.

Speaker 2 (39:27):
Number one from the book, you talked about even getting
a therapist the right person. That's important to discuss, right
because sometimes you can be turned off if you haven't experience.
You're going to talk to somebody you had that experience
where it just wasn't the right fit. Sometimes we feel
like our therapist has to look like us, right, and
you know, do I need to have a black person?

(39:48):
So I want you to discuss the process of finding
the right therapist for you and if you don't have
the right person, to make sure that it's like dating
kind of you have to find somebody that you're compatible with,
So can you talk about that?

Speaker 17 (40:01):
Which is why you've got to be ready for the journey.
You've got to say I'm doing this for me and
I'm in it for the long haul. There's so many obstacles.
Even when you find a therapist, it's like, oh, it's
my therapy night.

Speaker 4 (40:12):
Uh.

Speaker 17 (40:13):
You know, there's so many reasons to say I'm not
going to do it. But I had gotten to the
place where I was at the end of my rope,
but not the end of my hope.

Speaker 18 (40:21):
You know, when we talk about how to find the
right therapists, people will say maybe the person needs to
be black because I'm Black, they need to be Christian
because I'm Christian. And so I will ask people when
you go for if you have to have heart surgery
or eye surgery, do you ask for a black surgeon?
Do you know what you want to know is can
you get me off the table alive a little bit right?

Speaker 3 (40:43):
And so many of us miss out.

Speaker 18 (40:46):
And I understand why Courtney and I talk about this
because we as black people have.

Speaker 3 (40:51):
Been experimented on.

Speaker 18 (40:52):
There's no question that our suspicion makes sense, and it's
our responsibility to understand that that's just another way to
keep us out of the game of our own lives,
meaning to make us afraid, so afraid that we don't
go to doctors. And black men you know, who are

(41:13):
dying and get this dying more of prostate cancer but
diagnosed because they're not diagnosed because they don't go. So
we get it less, but we die more. We get
breast cancer less, Black women, but we die more. What
we see now with suicides is Black children are dying

(41:34):
at a higher rate of suicide than any other population
in this country.

Speaker 3 (41:39):
All right, we have Courtney B.

Speaker 2 (41:41):
Vance and doctor rabin El Smith here with us discussing
their book The Invisible Ache, black Men identifying their pain
and reclaiming their power.

Speaker 3 (41:49):
Really powerful conversation for anybody listening.

Speaker 2 (41:52):
May show you tune in eight hundred two nineteen fifty
one fifty if you want to leave a message there.

Speaker 3 (41:56):
Here we have more when we come back. It's way up.

Speaker 16 (41:58):
It's good.

Speaker 5 (42:01):
With Angela. Heu is back to set off your work.

Speaker 12 (42:03):
Dad.

Speaker 3 (42:05):
What's up?

Speaker 2 (42:05):
Its way up with Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee, and
Mana was here with me and we are talking to
Courtney B. Vans and doctor Robin L. Smith about their
book The Invisible Ache, black Men, identifying their pain and
Reclaiming their Power. I definitely wanted made her to be
here for this interview. So, mano, you have a question
in the world that.

Speaker 15 (42:22):
We live in having responsibilities, you know, being a black
man and having so many responsibilities, it's almost I felt
like I don't even have the luxury to be able.

Speaker 3 (42:31):
To not be okay, not be okay.

Speaker 15 (42:33):
I've dealt with so much and I deal with so
much that it's like a numb I don't ignore things,
I deal with them. But I feel like I don't
have the luxury of not being okay. I don't have
the luxury of being able to just, you know, say
all right, I just want to take this time off
to deal with with me or self care, like I

(42:54):
don't think and that's.

Speaker 17 (42:55):
Fine, but I think we're talking about little bitty starting small.
Last night, I was just in my in the hotel room.
I need to go get some there just for me.
When I come back, I know I feel better because
I just I know what it does for me. You
need what you know, what you need to do for yourself,
and sometimes after everybody else is taken care of, I'm

(43:17):
gonna go for a black ride and they know that
about me. Daddy's gonna get on the bike and he's
gonna and I'll be back. And if you need me,
you know how to get me. M M, text me,
call me whatever. But I need to go do for me,
just something for you, something.

Speaker 18 (43:31):
And so this is this is what when you said,
you don't, you know, have the luxury, and I said
to you, you don't have the luxury, not to do
it small things because the issue of worthiness, I mean
really of black boys and black men feeling that they
are worthy of being cared for and that they are
worthy of caring for themselves in even if the people

(43:55):
around them mothers, fathers, women, whoever, even if someone in
a society that sees you as a threatened danger. There
is something about rewiring your own brain.

Speaker 15 (44:07):
Right, That's the that's the thing. We don't grow up
feeling that we can show true, honest emotion. Yes, we
shy away from them.

Speaker 3 (44:15):
It could be dangerous. Literally, people lose their lives.

Speaker 15 (44:18):
Yeah, right, So it's it's it's so many different elements
you know, in this world that helps to prevent us
from being able to be as vulnerable.

Speaker 18 (44:29):
You know, but if that's my superpower, right, but we
have to learn that, right, right, we do that. But
wouldn't that be just like the system to want me
to not claim what will make me even more?

Speaker 12 (44:42):
Right?

Speaker 5 (44:43):
Right?

Speaker 11 (44:43):
Right?

Speaker 18 (44:45):
I feel we're saying to say, so that's part of
the thing. It's it's to keep us thinking I can't afford, right,
it's to keep me fan right that that I better.
I better show nothing.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
You know.

Speaker 18 (45:00):
I always say where it says never let them see
you sweat, and I'm like, that's good for a commercial,
but it's not good for a soul.

Speaker 3 (45:07):
Well there, you guys so much for coming through the
invisible ache. Courtney B.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
Vans and doctor Robin L. Smith just amazing to have
been able to read this. I highly recommend black men
identifying their pain and reclaiming their power. In particular Mana,
who is a very close their friend of mine. I
wanted to make sure, thank you so much he was
here for this. I could already tell it.

Speaker 3 (45:27):
Men a lot to you. Yeah, now, I appreciate you.

Speaker 15 (45:30):
I really believe in this, you know, with my background
and not having outlets or not feeling vulnerable enough to
even look for outlets to deal with some of the
things that's going on.

Speaker 17 (45:44):
But see when you come through this and look, I'm
gonna speak pathetically, it's already done.

Speaker 5 (45:50):
What a ministry. You have to be able to talk
to people that know you and be able to say
this is what I was, is what I came through.
Come on, you can come with can you do it?
You know?

Speaker 17 (46:01):
I mean, it's that's that's why I said, for me
thirty years ago, I was in prep for today.

Speaker 8 (46:07):
You know.

Speaker 17 (46:08):
So our children are eighteen and if I hadn't done
the work, I wouldn't have met Angela.

Speaker 5 (46:13):
But you know, so I'm I'm you in prep work
for what's about that age?

Speaker 9 (46:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 17 (46:18):
You know so that's that's why I said, it's life work.
You have to do it, you know, because you know
you don't know what he's got planned for you. You
got some you got to get ready.

Speaker 3 (46:28):

Speaker 9 (47:36):
My secret is when I was sixteen seventeen inch years old,
ye're living with my mother. I did not want to
get in trouble staying out too late with the boy,
and I faked a whole like being abducted and kidnapping.
I know it's so horrible, but I did that. I

(47:56):
drove some miles from home as if I was taken
and left there writch my clothes and everything.

Speaker 8 (48:05):
Hi, Angela Yee, this is a call from book friends.
I am calling because when I am on the train
in the morning, I do not want anyone yelling, especially
in the morning on my way to work. I just
want to read my book quietly. When I get on
the train in the afternoon, I don't want to hear
anyone banging on drunks because again, I want to read
my book quietly.

Speaker 5 (48:25):
I'm going way out with Angela Yee.
