How long has it been now?
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Four years ago? But back then it was just a map,
so it was it was more of a directory. You know,
it would pick up wherever you're standing in the world
and put the black owned businesses on a Google map
around you. But we've since expanded, like I said, to
more of a black Amazon, where you can now start
the shop.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Online, so you can actually go on Black find something
you like, order it online and it's still a map too,

the first people to embrace this. You saw the app
before it was an app.

Yeah, when it was in this testing basis.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
Yeah, when it was a prototype.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I mean really, John had us on there, so how
could I not.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Have a business.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Yeah, But anyway, let's get it started.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
When we come back, we're going to start naming some
of these businesses. Every single break is dedicated to one
of the businesses that's on black where you can go
and get on the app. Make sure you download it blap,

you have your show that's going to be sold out, Yes.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Hopefully keim w dot com to get tickets.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
Funny as hell.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
If you want to go see John Lester at the
Comedy Seller, forget it because it's impossible to get in.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
No kidding, It is kind of you know what, and
you know what, you do have to book tickets like
three weeks out a month out for the for the
room that I host.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Yeah, it is a little difficult.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
That room should be black.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
Yeah, yeah, once's once black.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
H I would love my tickets.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Still got sales.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
About black. It's an app to help you find some
black owned businesses. You can now order. It's like an
Amazon Amazon and so can you tell us what business
you want to highlight this break?
Speaker 5 (04:29):
One of my goals is for people to start switching
out their daily activities. So something that people use every
day is toilet paper. So let's start with toilet paper,
royal flush toilet paper right now.
Speaker 7 (04:43):
Black people always name things the best, always have the best.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
We do royal royal toilet paper. Yo, you kicked up
that name.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
How many plies is it?
Speaker 6 (04:54):
How many? How many flies?
Speaker 5 (04:55):
Here's the thing, yo, let me tell you something. I
believe it's three it's three fly.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah you know how we do.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Yes, we're not going to do it.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
We're gonna step it up.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
So it's three ply toilet paper. Here's the other thing.
It's also bamboo.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Oh yeah, only bamboo on this booty.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
Yeah only yeah, back yo, So you can have a
bam boom booty, not free.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
A boot toilet paper at least three ply.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Get your bam boom booty. So it's eco primley. Okay, yeah,
so so is the packaging as well.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
And so is your poop.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
So yeah, so it's your friend.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
So it's called Royal Flesh Flush toilet paper. And here's
the thing. Like I said, my goal is for folks
to be able to switch out things that they use
on a daily basis. There's no reason people don't care
where they get their toilet paper from or your you know,
bottle water or something. If we start to switch to
things out that we use on a daily basis, like
toilet paper, sheet dish washing, the church all that, then
(05:50):
then then we'll be in a much better place.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Oh okay, Royal Flesh.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Make sure y'all go on black and check them out
and shout out to the three ply because I want
to tell you my dad, so g P be buying
one ply toilet paper.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Oh yeah, get on your hand.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Yeah that's some real That's that's some animals. Ca man
got better than that.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
That's some real McDonald's bathroom breakage.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
All right, Happy dune tee th Royal Flush on Black.
Now when we come back, we'll have more for you.
Ye yeez, what you all been waiting for?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
You're tapped in the way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
What's up his way up with Angela Yee. I'm here
with a Keen Woods and John Lasson. Both of them
are comedians, but John is also a tech entrepreneur. He
has an app called Black and Today for Juneteenth, we
are highlighting these black owned businesses.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
What we got now, y'all?
Speaker 5 (06:39):
I would like to, like, I said, I want to
stay on the stuff that we use on a daily basis.
On my way today here, I jumped in the shower
and used a Rococo Design shower jail, which smells amazing.
Coco Design, Yes, co Co Design, So make sure y'all
checked that out in the app. Rocco Design also has
some wildly dope candles. Also, it's a gift shop with
(07:02):
the wildest names of these joints. One of them is
called Iconic. Make s Happen is the name of another one.
I don't want to curse. Yeah, yes, but there's dope.
So there's she's got dope ass stuff that she use
on a daily basis, as well as candles. You know,
we love some candles, you.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Know we do. We like our house to smell good
walk in, So what is that?
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Make sure y'all check out Rococo design. It's it's really dope.
And again, like I said, the shower gel and the
soap and stuff that she says like that daily basis,
there's no reason for us to be spending that money
with a two point one trillion dollars spending power, and
you know, and folks probably can't even name three black
on shower gels.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
That's a tragedy.
Speaker 7 (07:40):
Do you want to briefly explain to people, because I
didn't know, Do you want to briefly explain to people
how on the app they would they would find these products?
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (07:46):
So you know, obviously the explores the mapping section, but
hit the hit products and then you know, like the
Rococo design as well as the toilet paper is going
to be in the home products.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
All right, make it happen and then wipe your butt
with royal flats and then.
Speaker 6 (07:59):

June Team, and we got John Last to hear the
founder of Blap. John, you have another business that you
want to let us know about and highlight.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
Absolutely, I believe that the final frontier for us as
a people is is financial literacy. Because it doesn't matter
how much money we make, if you don't know what
to do with it, you're gonna end up back at
square one. So I like to shout out to financial
literacy card games that you can find in the education
section on Black The Rap Cards game.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
I've actually played that game. Yes, it's really at the
coffee shop we all come together, Yes we do.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
I was terrible at it at my Homegirls of COREA
has got a game called Network Up, which is financial
literacy and.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
The education section. Yes, and it's actually really fun card games.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
They're super fun. You can play them with drinks, you
can play them without drinks.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
That would be for you.
Speaker 6 (20:36):
Without drinking.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I can't a job. Both don't drink, I.
Speaker 6 (20:39):
Drink, drink.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
You didn't have to say that there was there was
no need to take that extra shot.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
I never started, there was never stopped, never stop.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
Yeah, my drinking had one year. Yeah, the year I
used to drink in is no tech startup.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
So this is amazing. Find anti literacy, like you said,
the rap car is networth up. You can go on
that black app and find those on there and purchase
them and support and has some fun. Okay, we got

Speaker 5 (01:54):
Four years ago? But back then it was just a map,
so it was it was more of a directory. You know,
it would pick up wherever you're standing in the world
and put the black owned businesses on a Google map
around you. But we've since expanded, like I said, to
more of a black Amazon, where you can now start
the shop.

could I not.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Have a business.
Speaker 1 (03:16):

of these businesses. Every single break is dedicated to one
of the businesses that's on black where you can go

If you want to go see John Lester at the

Speaker 5 (03:59):
No kidding, It is kind of you know what, and
you know what, you do have to book tickets like
three weeks out a month out for the for the
room that I host.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Yeah, it is a little difficult.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
That room should be black.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
Yeah, yeah, once's once black.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
H I would love my tickets.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Still got sales.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
About black. It's an app to help you find some
black owned businesses. You can now order. It's like an
Amazon Amazon and so can you tell us what business
you want to highlight this break?
Speaker 5 (04:29):
One of my goals is for people to start switching
out their daily activities. So something that people use every
day is toilet paper. So let's start with toilet paper,
royal flush toilet paper right now.
Speaker 7 (04:43):
Black people always name things the best, always have the best.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
We do royal royal toilet paper. Yo, you kicked up
that name.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
How many plies is it?
Speaker 6 (04:54):
How many? How many flies?
Speaker 5 (04:55):
Here's the thing, yo, let me tell you something. I
believe it's three it's three fly.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah you know how we do.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Yes, we're not going to do it.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
We're gonna step it up.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
So it's three ply toilet paper. Here's the other thing.
It's also bamboo.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Oh yeah, only bamboo on this booty.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
Yeah only yeah, back yo, So you can have a
bam boom booty, not free.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
A boot toilet paper at least three ply.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Get your bam boom booty. So it's eco primley. Okay, yeah,
so so is the packaging as well.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
And so is your poop.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
So yeah, so it's your friend.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
So it's called Royal Flesh Flush toilet paper. And here's
the thing. Like I said, my goal is for folks
to be able to switch out things that they use
on a daily basis. There's no reason people don't care
where they get their toilet paper from or your you know,
bottle water or something. If we start to switch to
things out that we use on a daily basis, like
toilet paper, sheet dish washing, the church all that, then
(05:50):
then then we'll be in a much better place.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Oh okay, Royal Flesh.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Make sure y'all go on black and check them out
and shout out to the three ply because I want
to tell you my dad, so g P be buying
one ply toilet paper.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Oh yeah, get on your hand.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Yeah that's some real That's that's some animals. Ca man
got better than that.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
That's some real McDonald's bathroom breakage.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
All right, Happy dune tee th Royal Flush on Black.
Now when we come back, we'll have more for you.
Ye yeez, what you all been waiting for?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
You're tapped in the way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
What's up his way up with Angela Yee. I'm here
with a Keen Woods and John Lasson. Both of them
are comedians, but John is also a tech entrepreneur. He
has an app called Black and Today for Juneteenth, we
are highlighting these black owned businesses.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
What we got now, y'all?
Speaker 5 (06:39):
I would like to, like, I said, I want to
stay on the stuff that we use on a daily basis.
On my way today here, I jumped in the shower
and used a Rococo Design shower jail, which smells amazing.
Coco Design, Yes, co Co Design, So make sure y'all
checked that out in the app. Rocco Design also has
some wildly dope candles. Also, it's a gift shop with
(07:02):
the wildest names of these joints. One of them is
called Iconic. Make s Happen is the name of another one.
I don't want to curse. Yeah, yes, but there's dope.
So there's she's got dope ass stuff that she use
on a daily basis, as well as candles. You know,
we love some candles, you.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Know we do. We like our house to smell good
walk in, So what is that?
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Make sure y'all check out Rococo design. It's it's really dope.
And again, like I said, the shower gel and the
soap and stuff that she says like that daily basis,
there's no reason for us to be spending that money
with a two point one trillion dollars spending power, and
you know, and folks probably can't even name three black
on shower gels.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
That's a tragedy.
Speaker 7 (07:40):
Do you want to briefly explain to people, because I
didn't know, Do you want to briefly explain to people
how on the app they would they would find these products?
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (07:46):
So you know, obviously the explores the mapping section, but
hit the hit products and then you know, like the
Rococo design as well as the toilet paper is going
to be in the home products.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
All right, make it happen and then wipe your butt
with royal flats and then.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
Wipe your white your butt with flesh.

Shout out to doctor Bob.
Speaker 2 (09:02):

And then I have the electric one for at home.
And that's why my teeth are amazing.

founder of Blap. John, you have another business that you
want to let us know about and highlight.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
Absolutely, I believe that the final frontier for us as
a people is is financial literacy. Because it doesn't matter
how much money we make, if you don't know what
to do with it, you're gonna end up back at
square one. So I like to shout out to financial
literacy card games that you can find in the education
section on Black The Rap Cards game.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
I've actually played that game. Yes, it's really at the
coffee shop we all come together, Yes we do.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
I was terrible at it at my Homegirls of COREA
has got a game called Network Up, which is financial
literacy and.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
The education section. Yes, and it's actually really fun card games.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
They're super fun. You can play them with drinks, you
can play them without drinks.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
That would be for you.
Speaker 6 (20:36):
Without drinking.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I can't a job. Both don't drink, I.
Speaker 6 (20:39):
Drink, drink.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
You didn't have to say that there was there was
no need to take that extra shot.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
I never started, there was never stopped, never stop.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
Yeah, my drinking had one year. Yeah, the year I
used to drink in is no tech startup.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
So this is amazing. Find anti literacy, like you said,
the rap car is networth up. You can go on
that black app and find those on there and purchase
them and support and has some fun. Okay, we got
