Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yes, Me and Rakim Woods here to shina lights. Yes, sir,
I want to shine a light today on. Just sell
her Nandez now. She grew up in the Dominican Republic.
Her mom was an orphan and she was also an entrepreneur.
She ran a farm and a daycare center. They made
enough money to invest in real estate. When she was
a toddler, they moved to the United States. They were undocumented,
(01:57):
so as you can imagine, life was very hard for
her at that time. She said, my family never taught
me to dream big. They just told me to get
a job that paid enough to cover rent and food
while she dropped out of school in the ninth grade
and started working as a freelance graphic designer.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Got her ged enrolled in a community college.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
To become a nurse, and one of her classes she
had to write an essay about the concept of the
glass ceiling. That's when she realized she was doing what
felt safe rather than what she really wanted. So she
switched her major to business and she started doing glam Lights.
Now those are those selfie lights, and she was actually
selling them before they got super popular, so she sold
(02:35):
them to make up Influencer. She spent nineteen hundred dollars
on a credit card, bought those selfie lights and did
that and she made eighty thousand in the first year.
And that's when she launched her beauty brand. In June
of twenty twenty one, glam Light made more than two
million dollars in sales in one day.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Yes, and now, she.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Says her daughter her decisions are whether she wants to
write to school in her pink Mercedes Ga Wagon, her
blue Corvette I wanted for other cars. She's living a
life I couldn't imagine at her age, even if the
cars are mostly a business tool, but when we do
influencer marketings chiefs. So shout out to just Al Hernandez
and glam Lights.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
That's amazing. Good for her.

Well that was Shining Light eight hundred and two ninety
two fifty one fifty just in case you couldn't get through.
And when we come back, we got your y E T.
And let's talk about Vince Staples. He was on with
ze Way. He actually killed it. I'm gonna tell I'm
gonna play some of the clips that have been circulating
its way.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Up Angela's feeling that yez all.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Right his way up at Angela yee. I'm here with

Speaker 4 (04:21):

Speaker 3 (04:22):

Speaker 2 (04:23):
And first in this yet, let's talk about Vince Staples
on with ze Way.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
That was a masterclass. Came can you eat that later? Now?
One thing that Vince.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Staples sorry, I was opening a star. Okay, guys.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
They talked about a lot of things about autism. They
talked about doctor Umar. You gotta watch this full interview.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Now.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
One thing, uh that she asked him was what was
he doing January sixth, twenty twenty one. Listen to this
What were you doing?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
January sixth, twenty twenty one, we were. We were watching
on the bus.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
It was amazing.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
I want us to do it and we would do
better because they were just ugly. Like the problem with
revolution is that it will be photographed so sloppy, loose
t shirts, Oh my god, nobody got a pump, nobody
drunk their cayenne and their limbit. It's though, it's just
not beautiful.
Speaker 8 (05:14):
And our January sixth would differ because we'd be looking
huh meg gala. You know.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
That was the one time I saw ze Way actually
like stop like laughing at a lot of things that
he was saying because of his type of sense of humor,
which if you watch the Vince staplesche I don't know
if you've.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Ever seen it.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
I've seen a few episodes.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Yeah you'll kind of get it. But yeah, great job. Now,
Love and hip hop atlantist and also hip hop artist
Erica Banks has been arrested. Also make sure you check
out her lipservice episode. It was amazing. But anyway, she
was in a vehicle that was pulled over in Brookhaven, Georgia,
after police notice a tinted tag covering the vehicle's license plate.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
You can't have that.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Then they noticed the vehicle had dealer plates, and then
at that point she and the driver were removed from
the vehicle and searched, and that's when they found several
pills of md m A aka ecstasy in her purse
and several packets of marijuana.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
So they were arrested and booked. I think in Georgia
it might be right.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Yeah, I'm not sure, but you know, it's a state
by state things, So there you have it.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
We don't look at it as a big deal. Obviously.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
She was charged with possession of a schedule to control
substance with intent to distribute. Also charged with theft by
receiving stolen property, possession of marijuana, and improper displayed license plate.
I do want to say, though several pills, I don't
know if that's intent to distribute Georgia. Yeah, yeah, I
(06:47):
think I kind of figured that so it felt like
more personal, just use. It doesn't feel like they're you know,
they tried to out if you've.
Speaker 9 (06:54):
Got seven pills, you're not making a what are you doing?
Like if she had fiftybe that's done? Could be could
be a prescription.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, I didn't say prescription all right anyway, Mike Tyson versus.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Floyd Mayweather Junior.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I don't know about this, but they're going to be
meeting in an exhibition boxing match. Feels like they are
completely different way classes. I don't know, but they don't
know what old dude just fighting money. But this is
happening in March twenty twenty six in Africa. There's going
to be modified rules, so neither of their records will
be affected. And I don't think that either one of
(07:28):
them are still like professionally fighting anyway. But Netflix is
the one who wants to actually broadcast this event. Now
Here is what Mike Tyson has to say to.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Be incredibly.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (07:49):
I don't know, guys, I don't know why to have
geriatric people fighting.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I wouldn't necessarily say geriatric.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
I would because it's funny.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Yeah, because blay Floyd Mayweather's like in his forties, isn't
he He's not? Yeah, but you know we're boxing, like
you know, you age matters a lot when it comes
to boxing, but anyway, and size, and it just feels
like not evenly matched. But when we come back, we
have about last night, and that's when we'll talk about
what we did last night.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
I was with you, Yeah, and I went to a
little party.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Oh, we'll talk about it. His way up.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
So about last night, Yes, I went down.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Yeah, it's way yep.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
But Angela, ye, I don't know why I keep on joking.
I'm with my guy at Keeenwinz. We did lif service
last night.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
We did.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
It was so much and we actually have an episode
coming out today.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Too with us as well.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yes, indeed, we're doing a lot of comedians lately. I
feel like that's halfway because of you.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
It is because of me. Jay Jurgen is this week,
and then Ian Laura b.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
And Jay Jurgen has a comedy special on Hulu.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Called Yes ma'am. It's very very funny.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
And Ian Lara has a comedy special out right now
on YouTube called material Board. Here you boy.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
He's got some great stories about Madonna and getting the
song clear story actually, but anyway, Yeah, so after that
lip service is always a good time. I left and
went to go eat at this place in Brooklyn called
Mango Bay. So shout out to everybody at Mango, But
I had never been there before. You know, it's a
newer restaurant Caribbean.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I know, I know it's always had joke chicken but anyway, Yes,
so I learned a lot about you guys last night,
though I do want to point that out.
Speaker 9 (09:29):
I went to a Christmas of Christmas extravaganda with the Dominika.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yeah, Amnica is another comedian and it was wild before.
So you guys are doing stand up.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
We was supposed to tell Christmas related jokes and stories
and then she did the singing. It was a lot.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
You have good Christmas jokes in Yo? Okay? Are you
doing anything for the holidays?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
I don't think. I don't know. I might post something
on threads and go have dinner with another ran.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Yeah, because just for perspective for Thanksgiving, he posted that
he didn't have anywhere to go because you have no
family here, and you ended up going to two random
people's houses for Thanksgiving to eat dinner.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Correct, because they went five They got like two million views.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah, so people did invite you overt. I am of
the belief that there are more good people in this world.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
I like to think so than bad. The bad ones
are more of the exception.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Yeah, the battle is just louder all right.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Well, yesterday, also during during tell Us, a secret one
person called in. He was anonymous and he talked about
him and his girlfriend breaking up.
Speaker 3 (10:34):

Speaker 10 (10:36):
Broke up my ex actually if he was like real
nasty to my mom, So we talked her crazy just
just be saying anything to us, but like.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
I had to let her go, Mama to honesty. Was
your mom rude to her first?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Because I agree with not being rude to somebody's mom,
but sometimes moms be overprotected the bibi.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Though, you got to respect your elder.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I agree, But I'm just saying how bad was it?

Speaker 6 (10:58):
Of yeah, like my mom want to let it hit
in the front seat?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Oh I do.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Anyway, I'm just thinking about it because I was reminiscing.
I feel like there was in my lifetime maybe like too.
Usually parents like me very much, but there was a
couple of situations where it was awkward. One of them
was because she was really attached to his ex girlfriend.
Speaker 9 (11:23):
Oh so she wanted him to be Yeah, sometimes moms
can be like overbearing in that sense. But also it's
like if the mom was wasn't out of pocket and
the girl was just wild, then that's different.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
But if the mom is out of pocket, sometimes your
man got to have your back and be like, you
got to chill out. But I want to hear your

to her, so like I.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Had to let her go, Mama to honesty. Was your
mom rude to her first?

like went to school with.

They broke up, and then he was dating me after and.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Yeah, I think they were really close, like their families
were close, and his mom was a little boogie and
snobby and I was still, you know, I was younger,
and I want to say part of the problem was
that he didn't set it up properly.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
He maybe come over his house.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
For Thanksgiving and I met his mom at the same
time I met the rest of his family, and that
bothered her. So it was like a lot of different
things that she She wasn't rude to me, but she
was like, you know, all right, well, Shelly, let's talk
to you. Why did your mother in law cause your
marriage to end?
Speaker 6 (13:44):
So my husband's mother is the devil. He put the
house in her name. No, yes, yes, and so now
we're going to a horrible divorce.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
That is disgusting.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
All right, Yeah, that's fold.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Well, good luck. I hope it works out the way

Speaker 6 (14:30):
Not the one for me.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
No, no, yes.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
The moment I found that out, I had a golden
this day, He's like, who are you do nothing to me?

Speaker 4 (14:40):
No, she was. She was way out of part order.
That's that is not a step mom duty.
Speaker 14 (14:46):
And then I go and talk to my father and
his wife at the time, and he was telling me, yeah,
I just thought that that was the right decision and
I'm not wrong.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I'm like, okay, you gormad, did you end up with
the girl or were they right?
Speaker 13 (14:58):

Speaker 9 (15:01):
Envy before mind okay, before one hundred because also take

Speaker 15 (15:16):

Speaker 2 (16:06):
Okay, all right, well I'm glad you're at peace. Yeah,
thank you for calling. I can't imagine having to cut
my mom off. Well, you know, relationships, things happen. When
we come back. We got your ut and let's talk
about Gez. He was on with Bishop td Jake's on
his Next Chapter podcast, and we'll.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Tell you what he had to say about what he
learned from marriage and divorce. It's way up.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
How she came with receipts.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
It's time to spill that.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Yet, all right? His way up with angela Ye, Me
and a Keen Winds are here today.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
What did it do?
Speaker 3 (16:41):
What did you do? Man?
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Genny My and Jez, both of them have recently been
speaking out about their divorce and how things went now.
Gez was recently on with td Jake's on his Next
Chapter with Tdjke's podcast, and here is what he had
to say about what he learned.
Speaker 16 (16:58):
But I learned a lot about myself. I learned I
was a great husband. I learned about the type of
space that I need. I was selfish in my prior life.
Just going forward in life, it just taught me how
to like give someone else grace and actually listen to
understand rather than just to listen to reply. Because when
(17:19):
you're sharing a life with somebody, this is a partnership.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Okay, So if yeah, I feel like I learned something
because sometimes when you're in a midble argument, you're just
thinking about what you're.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
About to say next.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Instead of listening now, Jenny my Head went on her
YouTube and posted a video about how she's been doing
with the whole divorce.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Here's what she said. As a divorcing you're always seeing
people say, what are the things that they warn you
about before divorce happens?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
You know, the one thing I can tell you is
that nobody tells.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
You that divorce is both earth shattering and a wake
up call.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
It's because the life that you picture disappears and the
future you actually we need, starts talking to you.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
All right.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Well, it feels like they're in a way better space
for a period of time. When they first were breaking up,
it felt really ugly and then it got much better.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Well, good for them.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Yeah, I am glad to hear that everything's been working
out all right now. Jamaine dupri recently posted, So I'm
reading the comments on TikTok under my last division post,
and I see a lot of people still saying I
thought they were on ovo, And I started getting all
frustrated because I'm like, I know they see me posting,
and I know they've seen it on the blocks. But
this is the thing about you and social media. You
(18:36):
can assume that the people have seen what you're posting.
So here you go. After working with Division on their
last album, go into their shows seeing how much their
fans love them. And then when I heard they had
become free agents, I had to sign Division and make
them my first signing. At so So def Hide they
had over ten thousand South African singing word for word
at They're sold out show, So oh wow, that's the
(18:57):
situation with that. So for everybody that you know wasn't
quite one hundred percent sure, Yes, they are now signed to.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
So So Deaf shout out to the Division.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Do you know Division? I know you don't.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Pretending, Let me pretend.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
The funniest thing about Akim is that he literally does
not know.
Speaker 9 (19:17):
I don't know pop culture like that. I know I'm
in it because I'm a comedian. I know comedian pop culture,
but anything outside of that girl I don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
All right.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
And Rashida Nicole, I know you don't know who that is,
but she has a baby with Leangelo Ball and she
posted poor baby been on this earth for six days
and still ain't seen or heard from her dad.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Wow. So she also said that.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
She spent the final five months of her pregnancy alone

but a cute baby, right, just because y'all don't get along,
don't neglect that responsibility. Well that is your Yet, when
we come back under the radar, the stories that are
not necessarily in the headlines, they're flying under the radar,
(20:16):
but you definitely need to know about them. Jasmine Crockett
has launched her Texas Senate Bitch.
Speaker 11 (20:22):
Yes, good, we're going to talk about it. It's way
up news in the news that relates to you. These
stories are flying under the radar, all right.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
His way up at Angela. Ye, I'm here, Our Keen
Wodds is here. What do you do?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
By the way, the NFL and Fear of God have
launched a multi year licensing collaboration. The gear looks amazing.
I like Fear of God because of how oversized it is.
I think you would like some of these clothes too.
But they have put out the debut collection with these
signature relaxed proportions and oversized nineties silhouettes with varsity jackets.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Have you caught in Jerseys?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
So that is the multi year license in collab between
the NFL and.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Fear of God.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Yeah, and you know it's the team Colors, Yesports, So
what's your team?
Speaker 3 (21:08):
I just kidding all right. Now.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Jasmine Crockett has filed to run for US Senate from
Texas in twenty twenty six. Now, Donald Trump has always
been extremely critical of her, so she's leaning into that
as she's running for that teach He is a member
of the Democratic Party. She represented the House of Representatives
in Texas from twenty twenty one to twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Here's what she said.
Speaker 17 (21:33):
Voting rights are under attack, reproductive freedom is on the line,
and economic justice is still a dream for far too many.
So I fight to make sure our communities are protected,
not just in.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Spirit, but in policy.
Speaker 17 (21:48):
My job is to call out in justice in the
rooms where decisions are made and to ensure that progress
is not a privilege but a guarantee.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
And Texas is the nation largest conservative state, but she
feels that shield turn out voters who were otherwise staying home.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
And a lot of people have done that.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Barack Obama, I mean getting people who normally don't care
and don't pay attention to doesn't have.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
That ability because I see the videos all the time.
If I was in Texas, out.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Vote all right now.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
A passenger who died on a cruise ship was served
thirty three drinks. According to a lawsuit, a thirty five
year old man. This was a Border Royal Caribbean cruise
ship last year. Michael Virgil of Moreno Valley, he was
on this vote. He boarded December thirteenth, twenty twenty four,
with his fiance and their son, and they served him
(22:38):
thirty three drinks in a matter of hours, even though
he was obviously intoxicated. According to the lawsuit, he attempted
to find his room, got lost, got agitated, and he
was then confronted by security members who tackled him to
the ground and subdued him with their full body weight.
According to this lawsuit, they also allegedly injected a prescription
medication that's used to psychotic disorders into him, and then
(23:02):
also multiple cans of pepper spray were used on him
and ultimately he died in the care of the staff
and crew members.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Can you imagine one.
Speaker 9 (23:10):
Thirty three drinks is crazy? But also you see this
guy's intoxicated. You know that he's been served all these drinks,
and you're like, hey, let's mix some chemical with them.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Yeah, let's spray him, let's inject him. Like that makes
no sense. So we'll see what happens with this lawsuit.
But I could see them winning that.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
I can definitely, because.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
If somebody is clearly intoxicated, you're liable if you keep
on serving.
Speaker 9 (23:29):
Us as a bartender on any in any space, whether
it's a cruse ship or event or anything. As a bartender,
you should know when to stop serving someone.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
That's your job, all right, Well, that is you're under
the radar. When we come back, we have the Way
Up Mix at the top of the hour, plus Simone I.
Smith is going to be joining us talking about Sismus,
which is coming up this Saturday. If you don't know
what it is, she would tell you all about it.
It's way up way.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
She's like the like they Angela Jean, like they angel Jean.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
She's spilling it all. This is yeaty way up.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Yeah, it's what Yeah, but Angela yee. It's me and
my guy a Keen Woods here with y'all today. What
So let's get into some of this yeat. First of
Kamora Lee Simmons was recently on the Not Skinny but
Not Fat podcast and as she's getting ready for you know,
her new series that she's doing, she had some things
(24:21):
to say about her daughter Aoki basically dating somebody who
was forty four years older than her.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Here's what she said.
Speaker 18 (24:30):
I know this guy. I think his reputation probably precedes him. Yeah,
I didn't even know this was a thing. I found
out when the world found out. And you can't say,
as a mom, I told you so right now.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
You can't give up.
Speaker 18 (24:40):
What the hell are you doing right now? You can't
give all those things right now that's going on through
it and having gone through not exactly the same, but similar,
that big age gap relationship.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
I do think it's predatorial.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Forty four years is quite how old was she? She
was twenty one and he was sixty five ooh, yeah,
so she was of age, you know, and I think
a lot of people will flash back to Kamora when
she first met Russell Simmons. They got married after this,
but they met when she was seventeen and he was
thirty five.
Speaker 9 (25:13):
As a thirty five year old, there's no instance where
you should meet a seventeen year old.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Like for what.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Yeah, so I don't know if they were dating when
she was seventeen, but that's when they even crossed paths.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
She was a motto.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Oh even then.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
That's still yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
I mean, I don't know anyone's seventeen.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
It's not illegal, though twenty one and sixty five is
not illegal.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
It's just weird. It's weird, you know, That's all all right.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Michelle Williams recently made some confessions on social media, and
she got in and out when she made this confession.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Listen to this.
Speaker 15 (25:45):
I have a confession, and this is a risky confession, y'all.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
I saw Life in Their President for the first time
two weeks ago.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Okay, am, I'm embarrassing. You have to admit certain movies
you haven't.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
I haven't seen I remember.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
People get me hell because I haven't seen a Lion King.
Speaker 9 (26:05):
I told, which they should because that's wild. But I've
never seen the color purple. And I remember when I
told people that at the Comedy Zella. I got roasted
for a while.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
I don't think I've seen like most of the Fast
and Furious. I've seen zero and a lot of Marvel movies.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Marvel Marvel.
Speaker 9 (26:22):
I mean, if you're not a comic book person, I
get it Fast and Furious. I've never seen one, and
I refuse to watch it at this point. Out a
spie got a spike. Yeah, spiteful to the whole industry.
All right, Well, Drake.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
By the way, Obo has announced an upcoming Marvel collaboration
that's going to be dropping this Friday, and it's heavily
linked to the X Men hero Iceman. Fans believe that
it's going to be the final thematic component of his
Iceman album Rollout. I know Obo Eli is over there, ecstatic.
He works up here and he is Iceman is gay,
(26:55):
go ahead, he is.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
I don't know that.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Yeah, yeah, it's certain.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Yeah, oh did yon kind of yeah, yeah, listen, I
haven't seen it, so I can't say I feel kind
of yeah, all right, And speaking of Drake, method Man
was recently on seven PM in Brooklyn shout out to
our guy Kazem and he had some things to say
about Drake because Drake actually had the Wu Tang Forever
song on his nothing was the same.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
And here is what he had to say about why
they're not on it.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
I like Drake, but when he sent the record we
were overseas. He did send the record, and you.
Speaker 16 (27:30):
Know, some brothers was trying to write to it, and
I'm sitting there and I'm like, I don't like it.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
What does this have to do with Wu Tang Forever?
And I'm not questioning his autistic ability or anything. I'm
just saying for my paste, I was more or less like,
I'm not getting on that.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
And it's samples, it's yours. So that's why it would
be called Wu Tang Forever.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
It's yours. But yeah, so hey, if you don't like it,
yeah it anyway.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
Yeah, it was his record. If you don't think it
flows with what he who, he is an artist, that's.
Speaker 2 (27:58):

Essence has a question about wanting to promote her business.
She doesn't feel like she's getting the traction that she wants.
Speaker 12 (28:43):
The name of the website is Laurel and Jones cole
ceo dot com. Okay, I just launched and I'm trying
to bring traction to the website.
Speaker 13 (28:52):
I started this thirty day line, but I feel like
I'm more of an introvert and I don't have that
energetic thing.
Speaker 12 (28:58):
So I'm trying to figure out, like what's the ideals
and things I can do to bring more traction.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Where are you going live at?
Speaker 13 (29:05):
I'm going live on pickcock in on Facebook.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
What's the product? Like, what what's the business?
Speaker 13 (29:11):
I have the patent, and the patent is for a
machine that would clean your toilet. And so what I
decided to do is I decided to sell much to
raise the money that I need for a working prototype.
Speaker 12 (29:24):
Okay, some people want me to sell, but I don't
want to sell it, and I don't. I'm trying to
do it on my own, and it's like, I don't
really know what I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Are there perhaps people that you could team up with
when you go live so you're not getting just your
audience but their audience as well.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
Yeah, like a collab.
Speaker 6 (29:43):
Okay, I didn't think of that. That's a good idea.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Yeah, there's a lot of group especially on Facebook.
Speaker 9 (29:48):
I don't know particularly, but on Facebook, people do take
advantage of using the group function. So you can type
in like whatever if you're looking for maybe black entrepreneurs
or people in whatever city, you're in this group for
those type of people, and you can.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Post with patents.
Speaker 9 (30:00):
Yeah, you can post in those groups and be like, hey,
I have a patent on this, that's the third anyone
interested in collaborating and those and that'll build conversation and
maybe you'll find someone with like a little bit of
a bigger following. You guys can go live together and
you guys can both gain followings.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Yeah, and even playing in somebody's ego too, where it's like, hey,
I want to go live with you so I can
ask you questions about your business and then people can
you know that way you're helping each other, right, and
then you get a chance to talk about yours is
to have a conversation about both of us doing things
in this space and let's go live together.
Speaker 6 (30:32):
Man, that's a good idea.
Speaker 13 (30:34):
Nag.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
I should have called you last week.
Speaker 18 (30:37):
You know.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
It is a grind, right, So I don't want you
to get to sell and it's hard, and you've got
to stay consistent because at any moment, on any day,
that could be a breakthrough. Okay, And maybe there's like
little fun facts you could be you could be posting
so that you're bringing more attention to it, like hey,
do you know how many germs are on a toilet seat?
Or the toilet seed is cleaner than your toothbrush. You know,
I don't know that that's true. Yeah, but you're not
(30:59):
just put no fun facts like that could be interesting,
even some funny videos of like people's toilets being disgusting,
you know stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Okay, yeah, like reaction type videos are all the rage.
Speaker 9 (31:14):
So those type of videos get traction and go viral
and bring and bring attention to your page.
Speaker 13 (31:19):
Oh no, excite it.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Okay, make sure you hit us up. I want to
see what you got going on.

you for turning that into such like an amazing entrepreneurial adventure,
something that meant something to you.
Speaker 15 (32:28):
Yes, I needed to bless women with good hoops. I
created the bridge hook and it's like a signature, the
sturdiness of it. So you know, like most hoops, like
when you put them on, they can move back and forth.
So I created the bridge hook for the sturdiness and
the security of it, but also put.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
My name on it, my branding on it, and Mary
done the system.
Speaker 14 (32:53):
Yes.
Speaker 15 (32:54):
So you know Mary my girls, one of my best friends,
and Mary just always supported me. And because I made
good hoops in like twenty eighteen, Mary was like, because
we call each other shorty, so she was like, Shorty,
we need to do something together, period. And so we
created Sister Love and it's a partnership and it's just
showing women that women can work together because you know,
(33:15):
women can be caddy, you know, can to but women
can be caddy and and a lot of times when
they say you don't mix business with personal, But Mary
and I was able to actually have a partnership and
just show women you know how important it is to
support each other because she supported me from the beginning

and then we became partners.

each other. And I started it because when my husband
started working on NCIS Los Angeles in two thousand and nine,
I'm such a girl's girl, Like I'm the nucleus of
my group. I was the one I have to fight
parties at my house. I have everybody, all the gatherings
(36:22):
at my house. You know, we played spades. So when
I moved to LA I was like, Dad, I missed
my girls. So I would come home for the Christmas holidays.
I would cook, make drinks, have my girls over, and
then I would do that every Christmas during the Christmas holidays.
And then I think it was the third year, we
decided to come up with a theme, and so we
(36:43):
did onesies and then my daughters contribute to the tradition
because they were like, why don't y'all do a talent show?
So it's no talent required. Tell us when I tell
you my girls go in, it is hilarious.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
That's so funny.

something like that. And for everybody when she says her

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yes, Me and Rakim Woods here to shina lights. Yes, sir,
I want to shine a light today on. Just sell
her Nandez now. She grew up in the Dominican Republic.
Her mom was an orphan and she was also an entrepreneur.
She ran a farm and a daycare center. They made
enough money to invest in real estate. When she was
a toddler, they moved to the United States. They were undocumented,
(01:57):
so as you can imagine, life was very hard for
her at that time. She said, my family never taught
me to dream big. They just told me to get
a job that paid enough to cover rent and food
while she dropped out of school in the ninth grade
and started working as a freelance graphic designer.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Got her ged enrolled in a community college.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
To become a nurse, and one of her classes she
had to write an essay about the concept of the
glass ceiling. That's when she realized she was doing what
felt safe rather than what she really wanted. So she
switched her major to business and she started doing glam Lights.
Now those are those selfie lights, and she was actually
selling them before they got super popular, so she sold
(02:35):
them to make up Influencer. She spent nineteen hundred dollars
on a credit card, bought those selfie lights and did
that and she made eighty thousand in the first year.
And that's when she launched her beauty brand. In June
of twenty twenty one, glam Light made more than two
million dollars in sales in one day.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Yes, and now, she.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Says her daughter her decisions are whether she wants to
write to school in her pink Mercedes Ga Wagon, her
blue Corvette I wanted for other cars. She's living a
life I couldn't imagine at her age, even if the
cars are mostly a business tool, but when we do
influencer marketings chiefs. So shout out to just Al Hernandez
and glam Lights.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
That's amazing. Good for her.

And when we come back, we got your y E T.
And let's talk about Vince Staples. He was on with
ze Way. He actually killed it. I'm gonna tell I'm
gonna play some of the clips that have been circulating
its way.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Up Angela's feeling that yez all.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Right his way up at Angela yee. I'm here with
akem wooz.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
What did do?
Speaker 3 (04:22):
What did do?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
And first in this yet, let's talk about Vince Staples
on with ze Way.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
That was a masterclass. Came can you eat that later? Now?
One thing that Vince.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Staples sorry, I was opening a star. Okay, guys.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
They talked about a lot of things about autism. They
talked about doctor Umar. You gotta watch this full interview.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Now.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
One thing, uh that she asked him was what was
he doing January sixth, twenty twenty one. Listen to this
What were you doing?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
January sixth, twenty twenty one, we were. We were watching
on the bus.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
It was amazing.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
I want us to do it and we would do
better because they were just ugly. Like the problem with
revolution is that it will be photographed so sloppy, loose
t shirts, Oh my god, nobody got a pump, nobody
drunk their cayenne and their limbit. It's though, it's just
not beautiful.
Speaker 8 (05:14):
And our January sixth would differ because we'd be looking
huh meg gala. You know.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
That was the one time I saw ze Way actually
like stop like laughing at a lot of things that
he was saying because of his type of sense of humor,
which if you watch the Vince staplesche I don't know
if you've.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Ever seen it.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
I've seen a few episodes.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Yeah you'll kind of get it. But yeah, great job. Now,
Love and hip hop atlantist and also hip hop artist
Erica Banks has been arrested. Also make sure you check
out her lipservice episode. It was amazing. But anyway, she
was in a vehicle that was pulled over in Brookhaven, Georgia,
after police notice a tinted tag covering the vehicle's license plate.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
You can't have that.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Then they noticed the vehicle had dealer plates, and then
at that point she and the driver were removed from
the vehicle and searched, and that's when they found several
pills of md m A aka ecstasy in her purse
and several packets of marijuana.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
So they were arrested and booked. I think in Georgia
it might be right.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Yeah, I'm not sure, but you know, it's a state
by state things, So there you have it.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
We don't look at it as a big deal. Obviously.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
She was charged with possession of a schedule to control
substance with intent to distribute. Also charged with theft by
receiving stolen property, possession of marijuana, and improper displayed license plate.
I do want to say, though several pills, I don't
know if that's intent to distribute Georgia. Yeah, yeah, I
(06:47):
think I kind of figured that so it felt like
more personal, just use. It doesn't feel like they're you know,
they tried to out if you've.
Speaker 9 (06:54):
Got seven pills, you're not making a what are you doing?
Like if she had fiftybe that's done? Could be could
be a prescription.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, I didn't say prescription all right anyway, Mike Tyson versus.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Floyd Mayweather Junior.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I don't know about this, but they're going to be
meeting in an exhibition boxing match. Feels like they are
completely different way classes. I don't know, but they don't
know what old dude just fighting money. But this is
happening in March twenty twenty six in Africa. There's going
to be modified rules, so neither of their records will
be affected. And I don't think that either one of
(07:28):
them are still like professionally fighting anyway. But Netflix is
the one who wants to actually broadcast this event. Now
Here is what Mike Tyson has to say to.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Be incredibly.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (07:49):
I don't know, guys, I don't know why to have
geriatric people fighting.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I wouldn't necessarily say geriatric.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
I would because it's funny.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Yeah, because blay Floyd Mayweather's like in his forties, isn't
he He's not? Yeah, but you know we're boxing, like
you know, you age matters a lot when it comes
to boxing, but anyway, and size, and it just feels
like not evenly matched. But when we come back, we
have about last night, and that's when we'll talk about
what we did last night.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
I was with you, Yeah, and I went to a
little party.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Oh, we'll talk about it. His way up.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
So about last night, Yes, I went down.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Yeah, it's way yep.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
But Angela, ye, I don't know why I keep on joking.
I'm with my guy at Keeenwinz. We did lif service
last night.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
We did.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
It was so much and we actually have an episode
coming out today.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Too with us as well.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yes, indeed, we're doing a lot of comedians lately. I
feel like that's halfway because of you.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
It is because of me. Jay Jurgen is this week,
and then Ian Laura b.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
And Jay Jurgen has a comedy special on Hulu.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Called Yes ma'am. It's very very funny.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
And Ian Lara has a comedy special out right now
on YouTube called material Board. Here you boy.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
He's got some great stories about Madonna and getting the
song clear story actually, but anyway, Yeah, so after that
lip service is always a good time. I left and
went to go eat at this place in Brooklyn called
Mango Bay. So shout out to everybody at Mango, But
I had never been there before. You know, it's a
newer restaurant Caribbean.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I know, I know it's always had joke chicken but anyway, Yes,
so I learned a lot about you guys last night,
though I do want to point that out.
Speaker 9 (09:29):
I went to a Christmas of Christmas extravaganda with the Dominika.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yeah, Amnica is another comedian and it was wild before.
So you guys are doing stand up.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
We was supposed to tell Christmas related jokes and stories
and then she did the singing. It was a lot.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
You have good Christmas jokes in Yo? Okay? Are you
doing anything for the holidays?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
I don't think. I don't know. I might post something
on threads and go have dinner with another ran.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Yeah, because just for perspective for Thanksgiving, he posted that
he didn't have anywhere to go because you have no
family here, and you ended up going to two random
people's houses for Thanksgiving to eat dinner.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Correct, because they went five They got like two million views.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah, so people did invite you overt. I am of
the belief that there are more good people in this world.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
I like to think so than bad. The bad ones
are more of the exception.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Yeah, the battle is just louder all right.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Well, yesterday, also during during tell Us, a secret one
person called in. He was anonymous and he talked about
him and his girlfriend breaking up.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Here's what he said, I.
Speaker 10 (10:36):
Broke up my ex actually if he was like real
nasty to my mom, So we talked her crazy just
just be saying anything to us, but like.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
I had to let her go, Mama to honesty. Was
your mom rude to her first?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Because I agree with not being rude to somebody's mom,
but sometimes moms be overprotected the bibi.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Though, you got to respect your elder.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I agree, But I'm just saying how bad was it?
Speaker 11 (10:57):
Like?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Was your mom the one that was kind.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
Of yeah, like my mom want to let it hit
in the front seat?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Oh I do.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Anyway, I'm just thinking about it because I was reminiscing.
I feel like there was in my lifetime maybe like too.
Usually parents like me very much, but there was a
couple of situations where it was awkward. One of them
was because she was really attached to his ex girlfriend.
Speaker 9 (11:23):
Oh so she wanted him to be Yeah, sometimes moms
can be like overbearing in that sense. But also it's
like if the mom was wasn't out of pocket and
the girl was just wild, then that's different.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
But if the mom is out of pocket, sometimes your
man got to have your back and be like, you
got to chill out. But I want to hear your
experiences eight hundred two ninety two fifty one fifty.

to her, so like I.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Had to let her go, Mama to honesty. Was your
mom rude to her first?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Because I agree with not being rude to somebody's mom,
but sometimes moms be overprotected the daba sometimes.
Speaker 6 (12:44):
Mom though, you gotta respect your elders.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
I agree, but I'm just saying, how bad was it? Like,

he had an ex girlfriend that he grew up with,
like went to school with.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
They broke up, and then he was dating me after and.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Yeah, I think they were really close, like their families
were close, and his mom was a little boogie and
snobby and I was still, you know, I was younger,
and I want to say part of the problem was
that he didn't set it up properly.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
He maybe come over his house.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
For Thanksgiving and I met his mom at the same
time I met the rest of his family, and that
bothered her. So it was like a lot of different
things that she She wasn't rude to me, but she
was like, you know, all right, well, Shelly, let's talk
to you. Why did your mother in law cause your
marriage to end?
Speaker 6 (13:44):
So my husband's mother is the devil. He put the
house in her name. No, yes, yes, and so now
we're going to a horrible divorce.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
That is disgusting.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
All right, Yeah, that's fold.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Well, good luck. I hope it works out the way
it's supposed to in a fair manner.

long girl. But my father and her decided to take
it upon them to tell my stepmom to step to
my woman at the time and tell her that she is.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Not the one for me.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
No, no, yes.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
The moment I found that out, I had a golden
this day, He's like, who are you do nothing to me?
Speaker 6 (14:39):
I don't think I was wrong.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
No, she was. She was way out of part order.
That's that is not a step mom duty.
Speaker 14 (14:46):
And then I go and talk to my father and
his wife at the time, and he was telling me, yeah,
I just thought that that was the right decision and
I'm not wrong.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I'm like, okay, you gormad, did you end up with
the girl or were they right?
Speaker 13 (14:58):
Well?
Speaker 6 (14:59):
We I don't even know their relationship.
Speaker 9 (15:01):
Envy before mind okay, before one hundred because also take

That's crazy, big thank you.
Speaker 15 (15:16):
Hey, Maddie, what's good man?
Speaker 2 (15:21):

Speaker 2 (16:06):
Okay, all right, well I'm glad you're at peace. Yeah,
thank you for calling. I can't imagine having to cut
my mom off. Well, you know, relationships, things happen. When
we come back. We got your ut and let's talk
about Gez. He was on with Bishop td Jake's on
his Next Chapter podcast, and we'll.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Tell you what he had to say about what he
learned from marriage and divorce. It's way up.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
How she came with receipts.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
It's time to spill that.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Yet, all right? His way up with angela Ye, Me
and a Keen Winds are here today.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
What did it do?
Speaker 3 (16:41):
What did you do? Man?
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Genny My and Jez, both of them have recently been
speaking out about their divorce and how things went now.
Gez was recently on with td Jake's on his Next
Chapter with Tdjke's podcast, and here is what he had
to say about what he learned.
Speaker 16 (16:58):
But I learned a lot about myself. I learned I
was a great husband. I learned about the type of
space that I need. I was selfish in my prior life.
Just going forward in life, it just taught me how
to like give someone else grace and actually listen to
understand rather than just to listen to reply. Because when
(17:19):
you're sharing a life with somebody, this is a partnership.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Okay, So if yeah, I feel like I learned something
because sometimes when you're in a midble argument, you're just
thinking about what you're.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
About to say next.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Instead of listening now, Jenny my Head went on her
YouTube and posted a video about how she's been doing
with the whole divorce.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Here's what she said. As a divorcing you're always seeing
people say, what are the things that they warn you
about before divorce happens?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
You know, the one thing I can tell you is
that nobody tells.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
You that divorce is both earth shattering and a wake
up call.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
It's because the life that you picture disappears and the
future you actually we need, starts talking to you.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
All right.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Well, it feels like they're in a way better space
for a period of time. When they first were breaking up,
it felt really ugly and then it got much better.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Well, good for them.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Yeah, I am glad to hear that everything's been working
out all right now. Jamaine dupri recently posted, So I'm
reading the comments on TikTok under my last division post,
and I see a lot of people still saying I
thought they were on ovo, And I started getting all
frustrated because I'm like, I know they see me posting,
and I know they've seen it on the blocks. But
this is the thing about you and social media. You
(18:36):
can assume that the people have seen what you're posting.
So here you go. After working with Division on their
last album, go into their shows seeing how much their
fans love them. And then when I heard they had
become free agents, I had to sign Division and make
them my first signing. At so So def Hide they
had over ten thousand South African singing word for word
at They're sold out show, So oh wow, that's the
(18:57):
situation with that. So for everybody that you know wasn't
quite one hundred percent sure, Yes, they are now signed to.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
So So Deaf shout out to the Division.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Do you know Division? I know you don't.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Pretending, Let me pretend.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
The funniest thing about Akim is that he literally does
not know.
Speaker 9 (19:17):
I don't know pop culture like that. I know I'm
in it because I'm a comedian. I know comedian pop culture,
but anything outside of that girl I don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
All right.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
And Rashida Nicole, I know you don't know who that is,
but she has a baby with Leangelo Ball and she

Wow. So she also said that.
Speaker 2 (19:38):

while preparing to welcome her daughter.
Speaker 4 (19:43):

Speaker 2 (19:44):

Six days long. I mean, I'm over thirty five years.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
And she also made a public apology to Nikki murderers,
which we talked about before, were because that's who he
was with when she got with him. And then yes,
but a cute baby, right, just because y'all don't get along,
don't neglect that responsibility. Well that is your Yet, when
we come back under the radar, the stories that are
not necessarily in the headlines, they're flying under the radar,
(20:16):
but you definitely need to know about them. Jasmine Crockett
has launched her Texas Senate Bitch.
Speaker 11 (20:22):
Yes, good, we're going to talk about it. It's way
up news in the news that relates to you. These
stories are flying under the radar, all right.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
His way up at Angela. Ye, I'm here, Our Keen
Wodds is here. What do you do?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
By the way, the NFL and Fear of God have
launched a multi year licensing collaboration. The gear looks amazing.
I like Fear of God because of how oversized it is.
I think you would like some of these clothes too.
But they have put out the debut collection with these
signature relaxed proportions and oversized nineties silhouettes with varsity jackets.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Have you caught in Jerseys?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
So that is the multi year license in collab between
the NFL and.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Fear of God.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Yeah, and you know it's the team Colors, Yesports, So
what's your team?
Speaker 3 (21:08):
I just kidding all right. Now.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Jasmine Crockett has filed to run for US Senate from
Texas in twenty twenty six. Now, Donald Trump has always
been extremely critical of her, so she's leaning into that
as she's running for that teach He is a member
of the Democratic Party. She represented the House of Representatives
in Texas from twenty twenty one to twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Here's what she said.
Speaker 17 (21:33):
Voting rights are under attack, reproductive freedom is on the line,
and economic justice is still a dream for far too many.
So I fight to make sure our communities are protected,
not just in.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Spirit, but in policy.
Speaker 17 (21:48):
My job is to call out in justice in the
rooms where decisions are made and to ensure that progress
is not a privilege but a guarantee.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
And Texas is the nation largest conservative state, but she
feels that shield turn out voters who were otherwise staying home.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
And a lot of people have done that.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Barack Obama, I mean getting people who normally don't care
and don't pay attention to doesn't have.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
That ability because I see the videos all the time.
If I was in Texas, out.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Vote all right now.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
A passenger who died on a cruise ship was served
thirty three drinks. According to a lawsuit, a thirty five
year old man. This was a Border Royal Caribbean cruise
ship last year. Michael Virgil of Moreno Valley, he was
on this vote. He boarded December thirteenth, twenty twenty four,
with his fiance and their son, and they served him
(22:38):
thirty three drinks in a matter of hours, even though
he was obviously intoxicated. According to the lawsuit, he attempted
to find his room, got lost, got agitated, and he
was then confronted by security members who tackled him to
the ground and subdued him with their full body weight.
According to this lawsuit, they also allegedly injected a prescription
medication that's used to psychotic disorders into him, and then
(23:02):
also multiple cans of pepper spray were used on him
and ultimately he died in the care of the staff
and crew members.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Can you imagine one.
Speaker 9 (23:10):
Thirty three drinks is crazy? But also you see this
guy's intoxicated. You know that he's been served all these drinks,
and you're like, hey, let's mix some chemical with them.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Yeah, let's spray him, let's inject him. Like that makes
no sense. So we'll see what happens with this lawsuit.
But I could see them winning that.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
I can definitely, because.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
If somebody is clearly intoxicated, you're liable if you keep
on serving.
Speaker 9 (23:29):
Us as a bartender on any in any space, whether
it's a cruse ship or event or anything. As a bartender,
you should know when to stop serving someone.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
That's your job, all right, Well, that is you're under
the radar. When we come back, we have the Way
Up Mix at the top of the hour, plus Simone I.
Smith is going to be joining us talking about Sismus,
which is coming up this Saturday. If you don't know
what it is, she would tell you all about it.
It's way up way.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
She's like the like they Angela Jean, like they angel Jean.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
She's spilling it all. This is yeaty way up.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Yeah, it's what Yeah, but Angela yee. It's me and
my guy a Keen Woods here with y'all today. What
So let's get into some of this yeat. First of
Kamora Lee Simmons was recently on the Not Skinny but
Not Fat podcast and as she's getting ready for you know,
her new series that she's doing, she had some things
(24:21):
to say about her daughter Aoki basically dating somebody who
was forty four years older than her.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Here's what she said.
Speaker 18 (24:30):
I know this guy. I think his reputation probably precedes him. Yeah,
I didn't even know this was a thing. I found
out when the world found out. And you can't say,
as a mom, I told you so right now.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
You can't give up.
Speaker 18 (24:40):
What the hell are you doing right now? You can't
give all those things right now that's going on through
it and having gone through not exactly the same, but similar,
that big age gap relationship.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
I do think it's predatorial.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Forty four years is quite how old was she? She
was twenty one and he was sixty five ooh, yeah,
so she was of age, you know, and I think
a lot of people will flash back to Kamora when
she first met Russell Simmons. They got married after this,
but they met when she was seventeen and he was
thirty five.
Speaker 9 (25:13):
As a thirty five year old, there's no instance where
you should meet a seventeen year old.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Like for what.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Yeah, so I don't know if they were dating when
she was seventeen, but that's when they even crossed paths.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
She was a motto.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Oh even then.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
That's still yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
I mean, I don't know anyone's seventeen.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
It's not illegal, though twenty one and sixty five is
not illegal.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
It's just weird. It's weird, you know, That's all all right.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Michelle Williams recently made some confessions on social media, and
she got in and out when she made this confession.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Listen to this.
Speaker 15 (25:45):
I have a confession, and this is a risky confession, y'all.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
I saw Life in Their President for the first time
two weeks ago.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Okay, am, I'm embarrassing. You have to admit certain movies
you haven't.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
I haven't seen I remember.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
People get me hell because I haven't seen a Lion King.
Speaker 9 (26:05):
I told, which they should because that's wild. But I've
never seen the color purple. And I remember when I
told people that at the Comedy Zella. I got roasted
for a while.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
I don't think I've seen like most of the Fast
and Furious. I've seen zero and a lot of Marvel movies.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Marvel Marvel.
Speaker 9 (26:22):
I mean, if you're not a comic book person, I
get it Fast and Furious. I've never seen one, and
I refuse to watch it at this point. Out a
spie got a spike. Yeah, spiteful to the whole industry.
All right, Well, Drake.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
By the way, Obo has announced an upcoming Marvel collaboration
that's going to be dropping this Friday, and it's heavily
linked to the X Men hero Iceman. Fans believe that
it's going to be the final thematic component of his
Iceman album Rollout. I know Obo Eli is over there, ecstatic.
He works up here and he is Iceman is gay,
(26:55):
go ahead, he is.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
I don't know that.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Yeah, yeah, it's certain.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Yeah, oh did yon kind of yeah, yeah, listen, I
haven't seen it, so I can't say I feel kind
of yeah, all right, And speaking of Drake, method Man
was recently on seven PM in Brooklyn shout out to
our guy Kazem and he had some things to say
about Drake because Drake actually had the Wu Tang Forever
song on his nothing was the same.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
And here is what he had to say about why
they're not on it.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
I like Drake, but when he sent the record we
were overseas. He did send the record, and you.
Speaker 16 (27:30):
Know, some brothers was trying to write to it, and
I'm sitting there and I'm like, I don't like it.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
What does this have to do with Wu Tang Forever?
And I'm not questioning his autistic ability or anything. I'm
just saying for my paste, I was more or less like,
I'm not getting on that.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
And it's samples, it's yours. So that's why it would
be called Wu Tang Forever.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
It's yours. But yeah, so hey, if you don't like it,
yeah it anyway.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
Yeah, it was his record. If you don't think it
flows with what he who, he is an artist, that's.
Speaker 2 (27:58):

Essence has a question about wanting to promote her business.
She doesn't feel like she's getting the traction that she wants.
Speaker 12 (28:43):
The name of the website is Laurel and Jones cole
ceo dot com. Okay, I just launched and I'm trying
to bring traction to the website.
Speaker 13 (28:52):
I started this thirty day line, but I feel like
I'm more of an introvert and I don't have that
energetic thing.
Speaker 12 (28:58):
So I'm trying to figure out, like what's the ideals
and things I can do to bring more traction.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Where are you going live at?
Speaker 13 (29:05):
I'm going live on pickcock in on Facebook.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
What's the product? Like, what what's the business?
Speaker 13 (29:11):
I have the patent, and the patent is for a
machine that would clean your toilet. And so what I
decided to do is I decided to sell much to
raise the money that I need for a working prototype.
Speaker 12 (29:24):
Okay, some people want me to sell, but I don't
want to sell it, and I don't. I'm trying to
do it on my own, and it's like, I don't
really know what I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Are there perhaps people that you could team up with
when you go live so you're not getting just your
audience but their audience as well.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
Yeah, like a collab.
Speaker 6 (29:43):
Okay, I didn't think of that. That's a good idea.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Yeah, there's a lot of group especially on Facebook.
Speaker 9 (29:48):
I don't know particularly, but on Facebook, people do take
advantage of using the group function. So you can type
in like whatever if you're looking for maybe black entrepreneurs
or people in whatever city, you're in this group for
those type of people, and you can.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Post with patents.
Speaker 9 (30:00):
Yeah, you can post in those groups and be like, hey,
I have a patent on this, that's the third anyone
interested in collaborating and those and that'll build conversation and
maybe you'll find someone with like a little bit of
a bigger following. You guys can go live together and
you guys can both gain followings.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Yeah, and even playing in somebody's ego too, where it's like, hey,
I want to go live with you so I can
ask you questions about your business and then people can
you know that way you're helping each other, right, and
then you get a chance to talk about yours is
to have a conversation about both of us doing things
in this space and let's go live together.
Speaker 6 (30:32):
Man, that's a good idea.
Speaker 13 (30:34):
Nag.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
I should have called you last week.
Speaker 18 (30:37):
You know.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
It is a grind, right, So I don't want you
to get to sell and it's hard, and you've got
to stay consistent because at any moment, on any day,
that could be a breakthrough. Okay, And maybe there's like
little fun facts you could be you could be posting
so that you're bringing more attention to it, like hey,
do you know how many germs are on a toilet seat?
Or the toilet seed is cleaner than your toothbrush. You know,
I don't know that that's true. Yeah, but you're not
(30:59):
just put no fun facts like that could be interesting,
even some funny videos of like people's toilets being disgusting,
you know stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Okay, yeah, like reaction type videos are all the rage.
Speaker 9 (31:14):
So those type of videos get traction and go viral
and bring and bring attention to your page.
Speaker 13 (31:19):
Oh no, excite it.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Okay, make sure you hit us up. I want to
see what you got going on.

you for turning that into such like an amazing entrepreneurial adventure,
something that meant something to you.
Speaker 15 (32:28):
Yes, I needed to bless women with good hoops. I
created the bridge hook and it's like a signature, the
sturdiness of it. So you know, like most hoops, like
when you put them on, they can move back and forth.
So I created the bridge hook for the sturdiness and
the security of it, but also put.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
My name on it, my branding on it, and Mary
done the system.
Speaker 14 (32:53):
Yes.
Speaker 15 (32:54):
So you know Mary my girls, one of my best friends,
and Mary just always supported me. And because I made
good hoops in like twenty eighteen, Mary was like, because
we call each other shorty, so she was like, Shorty,
we need to do something together, period. And so we
created Sister Love and it's a partnership and it's just
showing women that women can work together because you know,
(33:15):
women can be caddy, you know, can to but women
can be caddy and and a lot of times when
they say you don't mix business with personal, But Mary
and I was able to actually have a partnership and
just show women you know how important it is to
support each other because she supported me from the beginning

each other. And I started it because when my husband
started working on NCIS Los Angeles in two thousand and nine,
I'm such a girl's girl, Like I'm the nucleus of
my group. I was the one I have to fight
parties at my house. I have everybody, all the gatherings
(36:22):
at my house. You know, we played spades. So when
I moved to LA I was like, Dad, I missed
my girls. So I would come home for the Christmas holidays.
I would cook, make drinks, have my girls over, and
then I would do that every Christmas during the Christmas holidays.
And then I think it was the third year, we
decided to come up with a theme, and so we
(36:43):
did onesies and then my daughters contribute to the tradition
because they were like, why don't y'all do a talent show?
So it's no talent required. Tell us when I tell
you my girls go in, it is hilarious.
Speaker 3 (36:58):

something like that. And for everybody when she says her
