But I'm here.
Speaker 4 (00:16):
Today with you guys, and we have Vanessa Bell Callaway

coming to America. Iconic, but she started off on Broadway
with Dreamgirls and she's in Vince Staples Show, The Vince
Staples Show, that's going to be season two out right now.
So she'll be joining us today and I'm excited about that.
(00:37):
I think people like that always be like a little nervous.
Speaker 5 (00:39):
What do you think, Dan, I'm surprised you'd be a
nervous interviewing someone.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
There are certain people that I'm like, oh, they've done
and accomplished so much like you know, I just be like,
it means you care, and especially people that you grew
up like watching on TV.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I get it, it's a big deal.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
But eye else come to mind that made you nervous?
Speaker 6 (00:57):
A lot of.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
People I mean, of course, like a lynwitz Field, you know,
a Tisha Campbell.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
It's always like dang, I just you know.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
And Linn loves you, which is really cool.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
I love Lyn.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
But anyway, let's get this show started with some more
love and some positivity. Let's shine a light eight hundred
and two nine two fifty one fifty Call us up.
Let us know who you want to shine a light on.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
It's way up.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Turn your lights on, y'all, lights on it, spreading love
to those who are doing greatness.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Shine a light on, Shine a light on. It's time
to shine a light on.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
What's up his way up at Angela yee and it's
time to shine a light. And today I want to
shine a light on this young lady, Rashida la Lande.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
She came on board an Esday Lauder about a year ago.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
She is their new general counsel and previously she worked
at Craft Hinds. She was given a two point eight
million dollars signing bonus to leave that job to get
over to Esday Laughterer. She got over six million dollars
in equity grants that will best over time, and she
got around one point five million in cash. She brought
in near ten point nine million dollars in total compensation,
(02:03):
and that's amazing to see how she's been able to
get everything that she deserves. What I love to see
about that is that they knew her value and they
went through a lot of hoops to make sure that
she came over. It's a reminder of how top companies
will use these massive pay packages to attract top talent.
So shout out again to Rashisha Lalande who left craft
(02:24):
Tigns to go over to Esday laughter. That's a nice
amount of money and you deserve it'sis all right, Lisa,
who do you want to shine a light on?
Speaker 7 (02:31):
Oh my gosh, I've got to give a shout out
to Joy's Angels in East Orange, New Jerseys. Shout out
the park and Joy. They are feeding the people. They
have lines around the corner in the morning for their
food pantry. So please tell them for love if you can.
They really are a small staff doing amazing work and
they're angels.
Speaker 8 (02:50):
In the community.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
I'm looking at Joy's Angels online right now and how
you can donate household items, you can volunteer.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
You can also donate money for a scholarship.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
They have custom amounts so things like this are really important,
especially during this time too.
Speaker 7 (03:07):
They also house people who are on the streets, so
if somebody needs a place to stay in an emergency,
if there's a fire, they will give people a place
to sleep and lay their head at night. So it's
a blessing. We appreciate you so much, Angela. You're doing
the work. Thank you for helping us hin a light
on people who really deserve it.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Well that was Hina Light eight hundred and two ninety
two fifty one fifty. If you couldn't get through, you
could leave a message and shine a light that way.
And when we come back, let's talk about AI. Now
there is an artist and I am one who is
the first ever AI artist to break into Billboard charts.
And we'll tell you what the creator has to say
about it. She sat down with our girl Gil King
(03:47):
on CBS Mornings. It's way up to says in the rooms.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
From Industry Shade to all of gosp out sending Angela's feeling.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
That eet.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
What's up?
Speaker 4 (03:58):
His way up with Angela yee, and it's I'm for
your yet. And let's talk about zaniamone. Now, if you
don't know who zaniamon a is. It's because it's not
a real person. It's an AI artist and zaniamone is
the first AI artist to actually break into the Billboard charts.
Now Here is a little snippet of that song, the
biggest song that zaniamon A has. How was I supposed
(04:19):
to know? This was inspired by the death of Talisia
Nikki Jones's father when she was just eight years old,
and Talisa is actually the person behind Zanaiamonet.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Now was I.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Supposed to know?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Well?
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Recently, Talisha was on with Gil King on CBS Morning.
She's a poet from Mississippi, and here's what she had
to say about Zanaya being kind of an extension of
her being a real person.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
There's real emotion and soul put into those lyrics. I
lost my dad when I was eight years old.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
It's not anything extension of me, So I look at
her as a real person. But you can't sing.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
I still put in the work and anytime something new
comes about in it challenges the norm.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
You're gonna get strong reactions behind it. Oh Dan, what
do you think about this?
Speaker 5 (05:04):
I'm gonna be honest, I don't love it. That's what
writers are for.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Talia's gotten a multimillion dollar recording contract now.
Speaker 9 (05:11):
And you know, see, I'm not mad at Talisha for
doing this, but it's just like this is the start
of something that we've never seen before. And if this
is now just going to replace a whole other world.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
She said, she writes all of the lyrics and songs
to the songs.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
Right, and I agree with you being the writer.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Okay, but why not have a real person.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Exactly my point?
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Yeah, because the problem is where it is event Yeah, you.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Know, Kilani is a person who actually posted about this
whole movement and actually reference to Naam one. She said,
nothing and no one on earth will ever be able
to justify AI to me, especially not fing Ai and
the creative arts in which people have worked hard for
a train, for lept on the floor for efing, got
injuries for work for their entire lives.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
I'm sorry, I don't respect it.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Yeah, I'm for it, I mean.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
And she said, don't she just write a poetry book there.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
You go, or write songs in animal someone else?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
I listen, I see it, but I also have to
realize that it's happening, you know what I mean? Like
whether or not you want it to happen. How are
you going to make it not happen?
Speaker 5 (06:11):
But are you for it being regulated?
Speaker 3 (06:12):
It has to be regulated, Okay, So then where does
that end?
Speaker 5 (06:15):
That's what That's what I mean by this is where
is that regulation end? Because right now there is no regulation.
It's all brand you know.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
We talked to Eric Bellinger, he signed to AI.
Speaker 9 (06:23):
Yes, yeah, I am all for like keep up or
get left behind?
Speaker 3 (06:27):
I mean, look at what we do. Pretty soon it
could be a AI.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
AI could replace me.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
I use AI in my job every single day.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
They tell us to that's all right, Well, you guys
could weigh into a way up with ye. And when
we come back, since we're having this AI conversation, I
am going to play a couple of different songs for
you guys and see what you think about some of
these AI songs that are currently out that people have
been you know, tinkering with. I want to see what
you think, does it hit the same and do you
have a problem with it?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
It's way up here we go up the.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
This is way up with angela ye.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
What's up his way?
Speaker 4 (07:00):
But Angela Ye and my producer Dan is here with
me today. Today we've been talking about AI, and you
know it's interesting. Gil King sat down with Talisia Niki Jones.
She's a poet from Mississippi and she has an AI
artist who actually made it onto the Billboard charts, actually
had several songs like charting. One of those songs is
called how was I Supposed to Know?
Speaker 7 (07:21):
Here?
Speaker 3 (07:21):
It is?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
How was that?
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Talisia has signed a multi million dollar recording deal. There
was a whole bidding war for this AI singer Zaniamne.
Now she's saying that these come from deeply personal poems,
these songs, and she said AI is a creative tool,
not a shortcut.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Some people would disagree.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Kailani was definitely one of those people who feels like, look,
people put their blood, sweat and tears into this work.
And she said, nothing and no one on earth will
ever be able to justify AI to me, especially not
acting AI in the creative arts. Now, Jones is saying
technology is evolving and everybody has different ways of putting
in the work. It's a song that you were just
(08:01):
playing for me, right, that's AI.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Yeah, Pulse x Glitch, that's actually Timberlin's new AI song.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
People gave Timbland health Yeah too.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
The artist's name is Tata Tak.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
All right, so let's hear it.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
It sounds good. Two things can be true here. You
can hate the concept of it, but you can deny what.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
You know what's interesting because this is all just so
new for people. Right now, there's actually a lawsuit for
this company called Suno where people can actually make their
music using AI, and they're saying that Suno used its
members repertoire to train these AI models because somehow these
AI models have to be trained, and you can hear
(08:38):
the similarities with some of their people that are on
that platform with this AI platform, So how does this
AI model learn? They have to learn from real humans. Right,
this is going to be so complicated.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
What are your thoughts on this?
Speaker 4 (08:52):
I think AI can be helpful with fine tuning what
we have, but it can't take the place of humans,
right because is an AI artists going to perform and
go on tour? But this and I am Onnette got
a multimillion dollar deal and I'm sure that labels are
looking at it like we don't have to pay a human.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
But I want to say this, what's really.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Important is that we're paying attention to what's going on
and that we also know how to use certain platforms
because if not, we see companies and everybody replacing it.
But what they do need to do is hire people
who are versed in AI. And so it's just important
to make sure you can figure out how to use it.
You use it for work, it's.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Just what is the limit?
Speaker 5 (09:29):
I use it for everyday life.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
But anyway, just something to think about, and we would
love to hear your thoughts. And it hit us up
at way up with ye. So we can go over
that and when we come back, we got some yet
for you. And since we're talking about technology, let's talk
about Tom Brady. He recently just made a clone, not
of himself, but will tell you about it.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
It's way up.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Don't about the lid above this pot. Let's get it. Oh,
Angelus is feeling that yet, come and get the tea.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
What's up his way up at angela yee and it's
time for your ye t. So Tom Brady has said
that he actually cloned his dog.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
This feels like the movie Pet Cemetery to me now.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
He shared the details of the cloning and a news
release from Colossal Biosciences, and it was just a simple
blood draw from the pit bull mix that the family had.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Why are you shaking your head?
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Dan?
Speaker 5 (10:21):
I hate this concept so much. You cannot recreate life?
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Well, it costs sixteen hundred dollars to preserve it pet's genetics,
and the cloning of a dog or a cat can
cost fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
What do you think about that?
Speaker 5 (10:32):
What are you getting in return? That's my first thought.
It's like, yeahemetery.
Speaker 9 (10:36):
Okay, it might look like the dog, but what what
is this? Is this a real dog that has full
dog capabilities?
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Well, it doesn't resurrect a personality. It does create a
genetic twin. So even if the clone dog resembles that predecessor,
it might not bond with him the same way, and
it won't know any of the old routines or anything
like that.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
So it just looks the same.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
But like, what kind of chemical imbalance is going on
in that creature? That creature?
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Did you see, pet Semetary?
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Yes, those animals came back evil, Yes, exactly my point,
and they stunk. Okay, all right, well I don't know,
Tom Brady. Now, something else that I'm excited about is
Purple Rain, the play. So Purple Rain is now testing
to go on Broadway. It's actually going to be in Minneapolis.
It just premiered before this Broadway hopeful run. I would
(11:29):
be so excited to see Purple Rain on Broadway, so
hopefully in Minneapolis.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Like the run is going well.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
They just premiered it yesterday actually, and I want to
see how that does.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
You know what I'm saying, And it's going to mean
a lot.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Who is going to play Prince because I can't even
imagine who would want to take on that responsibility. Prince
was definitely a musical genius. So I'm excited to see that.
Will keep you updated on what's going on. I might
fly out to Minneapolis.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Just to see it. The same person that played MJ.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
I don't think they would even do that, just because
it wouldn't logistically he's most qualified.
Speaker 8 (12:02):
Nah.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
I think they'll have to find somebody else because that
person would be too like tied in to Michael Jackson.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Plus Prince was just so different.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Prince was very like sexual at first until he's embraced
to Hobah witness. All right, well that is your EET.
When we come back, we have under the radar. These
are the stories that may not be in the headlines.
They're flying under the radar, but you for sure need
to know about them.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
It's way up this in the news that relates to you.
These stories are flying under the radar.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
What's up?
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Its way up with angela yea, and it's time to
go under the radar. And now you know, we just
had daylight savings and we have some tips for you
on how you can reset your body clock and finally
sleep again. Have you been having problems sleeping at night, Dan.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Nope, I'll pass out in two seconds.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
All right, Well, good to know.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
It has been like a little weird for me, Like, yeah,
I haven't been able to sleep like that. And they
always say that daylight saving time does disrupt your sleep
and your rhythm.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
So does jet lags.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
So do a lot of things, and sometimes on the weekend,
I'm up so late, you know, doing things. So anyway,
this is called your circadian rhythm, that your body's internal
twenty four hour clock that helps your entire system understand
when you're supposed to wake up, when you fall asleep,
when do you eat, when do you do those things.
But you can actually reset it and as you age,
your circadian rhythm timing may shift, and that's when we.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Go to bed a little earlier.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
So the best way you can get into a more natural,
comfortable sleep and wake up groove is gradually shift.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Your sleep times earlier or later.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
If you need to do that each day until you
reach the schedule that you want. They said to adjust
that fifteen to thirty minute increments. Also, getting natural light
exposure during the day and doing so soon after waking
up is best. And also timing your meals correctly so
nothing's super heavy before you go to sleep. That can
also help your body relearn when you're supposed to go
to sleep. Also, avoid caffeine after lunch. Keep your bedroom
(13:50):
dark and cool, they always say colder than you think. Also,
keep it quiet, don't leave that TV on, And if
somebody's like snoring next to you, you might need to
get some air plugs. And it says use your bed
for sleep, sex, and when you're sick only, so they
said not to use it to watch TV.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
I do agree with that.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
I like to watch TV in bedroom.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Yeah, all right, So those are just some ways that
you can reset if you're having some problems sleeping, that
is you're under the radar. And now don't forget. We
got the Way Up mixed for you at the top
of the hour. Plus the legend that read Vanessa Bell
Calloway is going to be joining us. She had such
an iconic moment in coming to America, but she has
continued on and now she is starring in season two
(14:30):
the Vince Staples Show. You saw her in season one.
She's playing his mom, Anita. Well, it's going to be
pretty iconic and season two is out right now.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
We'll talk about it. It's way up, Yeah, she.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Back at it up with Angela is on.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Well, it is officially that time what I've been waiting for.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yes, today is National Jamie's Day. And you know what
we're doing.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
We are selling by wearing jingle jammys that my friends
are friends from Old Navy cents over and when I
tell you I absolutely love them, I'm wearing them in
the house. Outside of the house. Nobody does cozy like
old Navy. There's jingle jammies for the whole family.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
So you know me and my man that are matching
jingle jammis on.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
They have twenty two prints available and my favorite color
lavender purple. It's their biggest selection ever. They have the
traditional types. You know, you got to have the classic
plat for that family shoot. But also they have a
lot of fun unique prints. They have Disney characters, so
they have the Prince with Stitch and Angel, Mickey and Friends,
Star Wars, and they have coordinating graphic teas, sweatshirts, posey socks,
(15:39):
pet sweaters, and police blankets. I travel a lot, so
when I tell you those sweatshirts come in handy because
they're cute but comfortable for the airports. You can find
jingle jammys and other holiday goodies at Old Navy dot com.
And by the way, happy National Jammy's Day.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Angelie, jeez, she's spilling it all.
Speaker 10 (15:57):
This is yeaky, well, what's up his way?
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Up at angela ya and it's time for your yet.
I was telling Dan about this dry yesterday. But according
to reports, UFC fighters have come forward and said that
they were given offers to take dives. Now there's a
whole investigation going on all after the main cart of
the UFC Vegas fight over the weekend, and apparently there
was a bad performance, right, that's what people thought at
(16:25):
first glance, But according to reports, there was a regular
line movement and some massive bets on the side of
del Valier and an unusually bad.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Showing from del Guarian.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
They said the whole thing was so sketchy that sports
bookies actually issued refunds to betters who bet on Dalgarian.
So the UFC has promised to thoroughly investigate the matter.
But in the wake of all this, other fighters have
come forward and said that they were offered to throw fights. Now,
bantamweight veteran Vince Morale said, all this throwing the fight
stuff is crazy. I've been approached about doing it and
(16:57):
it's not something I could live with, and he said
he was offered seventy.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Thousand dollars to take a dive.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Also, strawweight telling Vanessa Demopoulous said that my integrity could
never She said people have approach her to throw fights.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Also, well, here's.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
What Dana White had to say on TMZ Sports, and
he is, you know, shocked at all of this, but
he does feel like it's something that needs to be investigated.
Speaker 11 (17:19):
He called the fighter and his lawyer and said, what's
going on. There's some weird betting action going on in
your fight? Are you are you injured? Do you owe
anybody money? Has anybody approached you to you know, and
the kid said, no, I'm going to kill this guy.
And Luis said, okay, the fight plays out and first
round finish. Literally, the first thing we did was called
(17:39):
the FBI.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Now, Dana White said he met with the FBA twice
and also spoke with Director Cash Patel about this. And
you know, he's the one that's been investigating all of
this NBA betting. So it'll be interesting to see how
all of this turns out. And Sauce Waka has launched
a lean flavored soda. He said that's going to help
fans quit the real thing. Here's what he had to
say say.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
If you love Trish, drink this and you don't gotta
get high instead of handing your business.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
That's what we did for you.
Speaker 12 (18:06):
Man.
Speaker 10 (18:06):
You can drink this on the way to the gym,
on the way to the job, on the way to
the church.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
You can share with your family and if are you.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
So, it's called Ski Taste Beverages.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
It feels like, you know how people try to like
get off a cigarettes and you know, or get off
like other Just hopefully this isn't bad for you too.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
But it's lean flavor soda. All right, well, that is
your yet and.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
When we come back, we have asked yee eight hundred
two ninety two fifty one fifty call us up any
question you have.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
We got your back. It's way up her.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Everybody six with its relationship or career advice.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Angela's dropping facts, so you should you should know.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
This is as gee, what's up his way up with Angela? Ye,
and it's time to ask. You're gonna give you some advice.
We have a voice message today and this guy is
actually a side piece. He really cares for this woman,
but she's in an abusive relationship.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Listen to this.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
I've been stating a married woman in an exfusive relationship physically, mentally,
all of.
Speaker 8 (19:02):
That, and I'm like, I don't know what to do
and I want to protect her, but she's not reading.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
So I need some advice.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
I mean, until a woman is ready to leave an
abusive relationship, she's not going to I also don't want
her to get caught and then her husband is abusive
or ready, So I would also tread lightly when it
comes to that and not push her because sometimes when
you push somebody that's in that situation and not ready
to leave, they can sometimes shut down and cut you off.
(19:32):
What I would do is let her know that I care,
that I'm concerned, and let her know about resources that
are available if she is ready to get to the
point where she's planning her exit strategy. You know, just
be as practical as you can when it comes to
helping her. But I am concerned about you being a
side piece in this situation.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
If he ever goes through her.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Phone, follows her, you know, people like that, you never
know what that can escalate to. But if I were you,
I would also talk to an expert about this, because
there are people who are really trained to know how
to deal with every scenario. And find a person that
she can talk to so that when she's ready, she
has someone that she can call up.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Because you and.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
I are not the people that know how to give
people the resources that they need. But what we can
do is direct them to the right people and let
them know I'm in your corner and I'm here.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
To support you however you need to.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
It feels like you want to be with her, so
good to know that if she has to leave him,
she has an emergency place that she can come to
and feel safe. But just remember that is also potentially
dangerous if he ever finds out, So just tread lightly
and definitely I would defer to the experts in this
type of situation.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
All right, Well that was ask ye eight.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Hundred and two ninety two fifty one fifty call us up,
any question you have.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
You know, I got you back.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
And when we come back, Vanessa Bell Calloway is going
to be joining us. She is, of course, Anita, that
is Vince Staple's mother on The Vince Staples Show. Season
two is out right now we'll have a chance to
talk to her about her story career.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I'm excited. It's way up to turn.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Up you way up with angela ye?
Speaker 4 (21:06):
More now what's up his way up with angela ye?
And definitely a legend. Legends only are here today, and
that's about calloway. Thank you for joining me today, Thank
you for having me. You know, how is it to
know that like having been had such legendary moments and
I don't know too many people that we could look
at a body of work that they've done like decades
ago and be like that's still so important to us today.
Speaker 10 (21:29):
Well, you know, you never know what the job is
going to be when you get it when you're getting something.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
You just want a job most of the time.
Speaker 10 (21:36):
But the bonus is when you do something and then
years later it still stands, It still holds up.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
It's like Halloween costumes for me, like come to America.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Every year.
Speaker 10 (21:44):
I get pictures of girls in their prom dresses. I
get bridal look alikes. Of course, Halloween is huge, and
who knew that. I didn't know that that was going
to be one of the most iconic growths in the movie.
So you do something, and when you do it with
the right heart and the spirit because you like it,
and then you want to bring injustice, then the rest
of it takes care of itself.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
You know.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
The Vince Staple Show, season two is out and season
one you have a really funny episode with macaroni and
cheese right right as Vince's mother on the show.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
I'll make a mean mac and cheese too. Oh yeah,
you cook. Don't be bringing your stuff to my house.
I got it. Just some mac and cheese questions for you, now, okay.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
But on that particular episode, there was like a little
beef because somebody else bought the mac and teese, even
though they knew that was your thing right, and it was.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Kinda outshine, you know, outshine Anita Honey. No, all right?
So mac and cheese rad crimes are no no bread crumbs.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
And now I remember we had Corey Hardtack up here,
and I feel like you said, he put cream a mushroom.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
No creama mushroom. So what is your macaroni and cheese?
Speaker 10 (22:42):
I make a good root with good butter, lots of cheese,
heavy cream, and then you mix it in and then
you lay your cheese on top of it, and you
use about five six different cheeses.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Right now, I'm talking to Vanessa about Callaway. She is
playing Anita on the Vince Staple Show. Now, you've worked
with a lot of veterans, being a veteran your South,
but with Vince Staples him getting his own show, it's
very I would say, dry humor dead pin.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
It's rand arcasm, yes, sarcasm. What drew you to that
script and that show? I want to know how that
even happens.
Speaker 10 (23:13):
Well, you know, they approached me, and I like the script,
and my daughters, I'm be honest, I didn't know Vince
was and my daughters, oh mom.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Vince Staples? And they went on and all, and they said,
you know his music.
Speaker 10 (23:23):
I said I do. I'm I said, oh, I do
know his music. I have been hearing his music. I
just didn't know that was him. But when I met him,
I was so it was so endearing and he's so serious.
But that's what I like about him because of his
young age. He's so focused. He's so serious and he
understands the importance of having his name on this show.
And just to work with him, to watch him navigate everything.
(23:44):
He's very hands on. He writes a lot of the episodes.
He's a producer on well, and he's very generous and
wants to make sure you're good and everybody's okay. So
watching him work was very inspirational to see that, and
I'm very very proud of him.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
So all that drew me to him.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
I remember when the first season ended and he was
really petitioning, like to get a second season, and he
was like calling for people to be like, come.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
On, I gotta work for that. And it worked.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
I was thinking because at the time, I was like,
do we already know there's a second season and he's
doing this? Actually the I think there wasn't, but I've
never seen that really happen.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
No, it was it was bleak work.
Speaker 10 (24:19):
Came down to me that it wouldn't happen, and I
was disappointed. The months later they called my manager and
said that we were doing the season two and I
was like, halle Lou.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
You're praise geez. That is good all right.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Vanessa Bell Calloway is here. We are talking about the
Vince Staples Show season two. We have more when we
come back. It's way up about to.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Doos to tame this women in radio video.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
We're talking about Angela Ye. You're way up with Angela Yee.
Please believe that what's up?
Speaker 4 (24:46):
His way up at Angela Yee. And we have Vanessa
Bell Calloway here with us today. We're talking about the
Vince Staples Show season two and your character is so
funny on there is there any way that you could
see yourself relating to Anita as a mother his mind?
Speaker 10 (25:00):
Well, some ways, of course, because I am a mother too,
but I don't speak to my.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
Children that way.
Speaker 10 (25:05):
I mean a baby Nita has a peppery mouth. As
I saying, now, have I thought some of those things, absolutely,
I just haven't set them. There was no plan B
for you when it comes to acting, dancing.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
And all of that.
Speaker 10 (25:20):
Yeah, you gotta first all believe in yourself. And I
really believed in myself. I mean I actually have dreams
about me and stuff. I never forget. One time when
I was doing the original company of dream Girls. This
is in the eighties, and I had this vivid dream
of me with Darnee Williams and all my children. Because
I wanted to be on that show so bad. I
used to send the casting director and producer notes and
cards and postcards all the time, and I had a
(25:41):
vivid dream of me and him together during the scene.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
I saw it and it happened.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
It came to fruition.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (25:49):
So a lot of things in my careft scene or
I've just I just knew what's gonna happen, so I
just keep going. I danced, I was a concert dancer
here in New York for a while, and I did
Broadway off Broadway, did lots of commercials, a lot of that,
and then when I left to go out to California,
you know, my crew just continue to grow.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
But it was just never plan B.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
Right now, I'm talking to Vanessa about Callaway. She is
playing Anita on The Vince Staples Show, but you also
know her from Saints and Sinners Coming to America, the Blackhamptons.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
One of them days. I mean, she is phenomenal. All right, Well,
I appreciate.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
You for coming up here and just sharing all this
with me, because I know you got a busy pack schedule.
Speaker 10 (26:24):
Don't tell everybody watch Vince Stables. I'm gonna say this
season two. But this is what you gotta do. People,
you gotta binge it. If you haven't seen season two,
please watch season one, turn it on and let it go.
I don't care if you fall asleep and you get
to go to the bathroom, go to the grocery store.
Just let it run the way.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
You know.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
I have to go back and watch season one because
I feel like it's been a long time. Yeah, we'll
go back and watch season and then double thumbs it
at the end. Okay, you gotta double thumbs it and
then watch season two after you watch season one, and
the same thing.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Do not turn it off.
Speaker 10 (26:54):
That helps Netflix decide if they want to give us
a season three, which I think we deserve because this
season it's funny. I think people are gonna love it.
Vince is brilliant. He really, he's very brilliant. The humor
is there, but the seriousness is there, the sarcasm, the
satire is all there and together it just makes for
a great style.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
It's a different style.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
Well, thank you so much to Vanessa Bell Callaway for
joining us. Truly, truly a pleasure. And again this is
your show. When we come back, you'll have the last word.

with Dreamgirls and she's in Vince Staples Show, The Vince
Staples Show, that's going to be season two out right now.
So she'll be joining us today and I'm excited about that.
(00:37):
I think people like that always be like a little nervous.
Speaker 5 (00:39):
What do you think, Dan, I'm surprised you'd be a
nervous interviewing someone.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
There are certain people that I'm like, oh, they've done
and accomplished so much like you know, I just be like,
it means you care, and especially people that you grew
up like watching on TV.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I get it, it's a big deal.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
But eye else come to mind that made you nervous?
Speaker 6 (00:57):
A lot of.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
People I mean, of course, like a lynwitz Field, you know,
a Tisha Campbell.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
It's always like dang, I just you know.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
And Linn loves you, which is really cool.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
I love Lyn.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
But anyway, let's get this show started with some more
love and some positivity. Let's shine a light eight hundred
and two nine two fifty one fifty Call us up.
Let us know who you want to shine a light on.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
It's way up.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Turn your lights on, y'all, lights on it, spreading love
to those who are doing greatness.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Shine a light on, Shine a light on. It's time
to shine a light on.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
What's up his way up at Angela yee and it's
time to shine a light. And today I want to
shine a light on this young lady, Rashida la Lande.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
She came on board an Esday Lauder about a year ago.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
She is their new general counsel and previously she worked
at Craft Hinds. She was given a two point eight
million dollars signing bonus to leave that job to get
over to Esday Laughterer. She got over six million dollars
in equity grants that will best over time, and she
got around one point five million in cash. She brought
in near ten point nine million dollars in total compensation,
(02:03):
and that's amazing to see how she's been able to
get everything that she deserves. What I love to see
about that is that they knew her value and they
went through a lot of hoops to make sure that
she came over. It's a reminder of how top companies
will use these massive pay packages to attract top talent.
So shout out again to Rashisha Lalande who left craft
(02:24):
Tigns to go over to Esday laughter. That's a nice
amount of money and you deserve it'sis all right, Lisa,
who do you want to shine a light on?
Speaker 7 (02:31):
Oh my gosh, I've got to give a shout out
to Joy's Angels in East Orange, New Jerseys. Shout out
the park and Joy. They are feeding the people. They
have lines around the corner in the morning for their
food pantry. So please tell them for love if you can.
They really are a small staff doing amazing work and
they're angels.
Speaker 8 (02:50):
In the community.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
I'm looking at Joy's Angels online right now and how
you can donate household items, you can volunteer.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
You can also donate money for a scholarship.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
They have custom amounts so things like this are really important,
especially during this time too.
Speaker 7 (03:07):
They also house people who are on the streets, so
if somebody needs a place to stay in an emergency,
if there's a fire, they will give people a place
to sleep and lay their head at night. So it's
a blessing. We appreciate you so much, Angela. You're doing
the work. Thank you for helping us hin a light
on people who really deserve it.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Well that was Hina Light eight hundred and two ninety
two fifty one fifty. If you couldn't get through, you
could leave a message and shine a light that way.
And when we come back, let's talk about AI. Now
there is an artist and I am one who is
the first ever AI artist to break into Billboard charts.
And we'll tell you what the creator has to say
about it. She sat down with our girl Gil King
(03:47):
on CBS Mornings. It's way up to says in the rooms.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
From Industry Shade to all of gosp out sending Angela's feeling.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
That eet.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
What's up?
Speaker 4 (03:58):
His way up with Angela yee, and it's I'm for
your yet. And let's talk about zaniamone. Now, if you
don't know who zaniamon a is. It's because it's not
a real person. It's an AI artist and zaniamone is
the first AI artist to actually break into the Billboard charts.
Now Here is a little snippet of that song, the
biggest song that zaniamon A has. How was I supposed
(04:19):
to know? This was inspired by the death of Talisia
Nikki Jones's father when she was just eight years old,
and Talisa is actually the person behind Zanaiamonet.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Now was I.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Supposed to know?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Well?
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Recently, Talisha was on with Gil King on CBS Morning.
She's a poet from Mississippi, and here's what she had
to say about Zanaya being kind of an extension of
her being a real person.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
There's real emotion and soul put into those lyrics. I
lost my dad when I was eight years old.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
It's not anything extension of me, So I look at
her as a real person. But you can't sing.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
I still put in the work and anytime something new
comes about in it challenges the norm.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
You're gonna get strong reactions behind it. Oh Dan, what
do you think about this?
Speaker 5 (05:04):
I'm gonna be honest, I don't love it. That's what
writers are for.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Talia's gotten a multimillion dollar recording contract now.
Speaker 9 (05:11):
And you know, see, I'm not mad at Talisha for
doing this, but it's just like this is the start
of something that we've never seen before. And if this
is now just going to replace a whole other world.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
She said, she writes all of the lyrics and songs
to the songs.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
Right, and I agree with you being the writer.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Okay, but why not have a real person.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Exactly my point?
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Yeah, because the problem is where it is event Yeah, you.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Know, Kilani is a person who actually posted about this
whole movement and actually reference to Naam one. She said,
nothing and no one on earth will ever be able
to justify AI to me, especially not fing Ai and
the creative arts in which people have worked hard for
a train, for lept on the floor for efing, got
injuries for work for their entire lives.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
I'm sorry, I don't respect it.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Yeah, I'm for it, I mean.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
And she said, don't she just write a poetry book there.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
You go, or write songs in animal someone else?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
I listen, I see it, but I also have to
realize that it's happening, you know what I mean? Like
whether or not you want it to happen. How are
you going to make it not happen?
Speaker 5 (06:11):
But are you for it being regulated?
Speaker 3 (06:12):
It has to be regulated, Okay, So then where does
that end?
Speaker 5 (06:15):
That's what That's what I mean by this is where
is that regulation end? Because right now there is no regulation.
It's all brand you know.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
We talked to Eric Bellinger, he signed to AI.
Speaker 9 (06:23):
Yes, yeah, I am all for like keep up or
get left behind?
Speaker 3 (06:27):
I mean, look at what we do. Pretty soon it
could be a AI.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
AI could replace me.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
I use AI in my job every single day.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
They tell us to that's all right, Well, you guys
could weigh into a way up with ye. And when
we come back, since we're having this AI conversation, I
am going to play a couple of different songs for
you guys and see what you think about some of
these AI songs that are currently out that people have
been you know, tinkering with. I want to see what
you think, does it hit the same and do you
have a problem with it?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
It's way up here we go up the.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
This is way up with angela ye.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
What's up his way?
Speaker 4 (07:00):
But Angela Ye and my producer Dan is here with
me today. Today we've been talking about AI, and you
know it's interesting. Gil King sat down with Talisia Niki Jones.
She's a poet from Mississippi and she has an AI
artist who actually made it onto the Billboard charts, actually
had several songs like charting. One of those songs is
called how was I Supposed to Know?
Speaker 7 (07:21):
Here?
Speaker 3 (07:21):
It is?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
How was that?
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Talisia has signed a multi million dollar recording deal. There
was a whole bidding war for this AI singer Zaniamne.
Now she's saying that these come from deeply personal poems,
these songs, and she said AI is a creative tool,
not a shortcut.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Some people would disagree.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Kailani was definitely one of those people who feels like, look,
people put their blood, sweat and tears into this work.
And she said, nothing and no one on earth will
ever be able to justify AI to me, especially not
acting AI in the creative arts. Now, Jones is saying
technology is evolving and everybody has different ways of putting
in the work. It's a song that you were just
(08:01):
playing for me, right, that's AI.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Yeah, Pulse x Glitch, that's actually Timberlin's new AI song.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
People gave Timbland health Yeah too.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
The artist's name is Tata Tak.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
All right, so let's hear it.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
It sounds good. Two things can be true here. You
can hate the concept of it, but you can deny what.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
You know what's interesting because this is all just so
new for people. Right now, there's actually a lawsuit for
this company called Suno where people can actually make their
music using AI, and they're saying that Suno used its
members repertoire to train these AI models because somehow these
AI models have to be trained, and you can hear
(08:38):
the similarities with some of their people that are on
that platform with this AI platform, So how does this
AI model learn? They have to learn from real humans. Right,
this is going to be so complicated.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
What are your thoughts on this?
Speaker 4 (08:52):
I think AI can be helpful with fine tuning what
we have, but it can't take the place of humans,
right because is an AI artists going to perform and
go on tour? But this and I am Onnette got
a multimillion dollar deal and I'm sure that labels are
looking at it like we don't have to pay a human.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
But I want to say this, what's really.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Important is that we're paying attention to what's going on
and that we also know how to use certain platforms
because if not, we see companies and everybody replacing it.
But what they do need to do is hire people
who are versed in AI. And so it's just important
to make sure you can figure out how to use it.
You use it for work, it's.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Just what is the limit?
Speaker 5 (09:29):
I use it for everyday life.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
But anyway, just something to think about, and we would
love to hear your thoughts. And it hit us up
at way up with ye. So we can go over
that and when we come back, we got some yet
for you. And since we're talking about technology, let's talk
about Tom Brady. He recently just made a clone, not
of himself, but will tell you about it.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
It's way up.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Don't about the lid above this pot. Let's get it. Oh,
Angelus is feeling that yet, come and get the tea.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
What's up his way up at angela yee and it's
time for your ye t. So Tom Brady has said
that he actually cloned his dog.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
This feels like the movie Pet Cemetery to me now.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
He shared the details of the cloning and a news
release from Colossal Biosciences, and it was just a simple
blood draw from the pit bull mix that the family had.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Why are you shaking your head?
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Dan?
Speaker 5 (10:21):
I hate this concept so much. You cannot recreate life?
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Well, it costs sixteen hundred dollars to preserve it pet's genetics,
and the cloning of a dog or a cat can
cost fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
What do you think about that?
Speaker 5 (10:32):
What are you getting in return? That's my first thought.
It's like, yeahemetery.
Speaker 9 (10:36):
Okay, it might look like the dog, but what what
is this? Is this a real dog that has full
dog capabilities?
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Well, it doesn't resurrect a personality. It does create a
genetic twin. So even if the clone dog resembles that predecessor,
it might not bond with him the same way, and
it won't know any of the old routines or anything
like that.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
So it just looks the same.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
But like, what kind of chemical imbalance is going on
in that creature? That creature?
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Did you see, pet Semetary?
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Yes, those animals came back evil, Yes, exactly my point,
and they stunk. Okay, all right, well I don't know,
Tom Brady. Now, something else that I'm excited about is
Purple Rain, the play. So Purple Rain is now testing
to go on Broadway. It's actually going to be in Minneapolis.
It just premiered before this Broadway hopeful run. I would
(11:29):
be so excited to see Purple Rain on Broadway, so
hopefully in Minneapolis.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Like the run is going well.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
They just premiered it yesterday actually, and I want to
see how that does.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
You know what I'm saying, And it's going to mean
a lot.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Who is going to play Prince because I can't even
imagine who would want to take on that responsibility. Prince
was definitely a musical genius. So I'm excited to see that.
Will keep you updated on what's going on. I might
fly out to Minneapolis.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Just to see it. The same person that played MJ.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
I don't think they would even do that, just because
it wouldn't logistically he's most qualified.
Speaker 8 (12:02):
Nah.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
I think they'll have to find somebody else because that
person would be too like tied in to Michael Jackson.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Plus Prince was just so different.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Prince was very like sexual at first until he's embraced
to Hobah witness. All right, well that is your EET.
When we come back, we have under the radar. These
are the stories that may not be in the headlines.
They're flying under the radar, but you for sure need
to know about them.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
It's way up this in the news that relates to you.
These stories are flying under the radar.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
What's up?
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Its way up with angela yea, and it's time to
go under the radar. And now you know, we just
had daylight savings and we have some tips for you
on how you can reset your body clock and finally
sleep again. Have you been having problems sleeping at night, Dan.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Nope, I'll pass out in two seconds.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
All right, Well, good to know.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
It has been like a little weird for me, Like, yeah,
I haven't been able to sleep like that. And they
always say that daylight saving time does disrupt your sleep
and your rhythm.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
So does jet lags.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
So do a lot of things, and sometimes on the weekend,
I'm up so late, you know, doing things. So anyway,
this is called your circadian rhythm, that your body's internal
twenty four hour clock that helps your entire system understand
when you're supposed to wake up, when you fall asleep,
when do you eat, when do you do those things.
But you can actually reset it and as you age,
your circadian rhythm timing may shift, and that's when we.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Go to bed a little earlier.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
So the best way you can get into a more natural,
comfortable sleep and wake up groove is gradually shift.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Your sleep times earlier or later.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
If you need to do that each day until you
reach the schedule that you want. They said to adjust
that fifteen to thirty minute increments. Also, getting natural light
exposure during the day and doing so soon after waking
up is best. And also timing your meals correctly so
nothing's super heavy before you go to sleep. That can
also help your body relearn when you're supposed to go
to sleep. Also, avoid caffeine after lunch. Keep your bedroom
(13:50):
dark and cool, they always say colder than you think. Also,
keep it quiet, don't leave that TV on, And if
somebody's like snoring next to you, you might need to
get some air plugs. And it says use your bed
for sleep, sex, and when you're sick only, so they
said not to use it to watch TV.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
I do agree with that.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
I like to watch TV in bedroom.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Yeah, all right, So those are just some ways that
you can reset if you're having some problems sleeping, that
is you're under the radar. And now don't forget. We
got the Way Up mixed for you at the top
of the hour. Plus the legend that read Vanessa Bell
Calloway is going to be joining us. She had such
an iconic moment in coming to America, but she has
continued on and now she is starring in season two
(14:30):
the Vince Staples Show. You saw her in season one.
She's playing his mom, Anita. Well, it's going to be
pretty iconic and season two is out right now.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
We'll talk about it. It's way up, Yeah, she.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Back at it up with Angela is on.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Well, it is officially that time what I've been waiting for.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yes, today is National Jamie's Day. And you know what
we're doing.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
We are selling by wearing jingle jammys that my friends
are friends from Old Navy cents over and when I
tell you I absolutely love them, I'm wearing them in
the house. Outside of the house. Nobody does cozy like
old Navy. There's jingle jammies for the whole family.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
So you know me and my man that are matching
jingle jammis on.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
They have twenty two prints available and my favorite color
lavender purple. It's their biggest selection ever. They have the
traditional types. You know, you got to have the classic
plat for that family shoot. But also they have a
lot of fun unique prints. They have Disney characters, so
they have the Prince with Stitch and Angel, Mickey and Friends,
Star Wars, and they have coordinating graphic teas, sweatshirts, posey socks,
(15:39):
pet sweaters, and police blankets. I travel a lot, so
when I tell you those sweatshirts come in handy because
they're cute but comfortable for the airports. You can find
jingle jammys and other holiday goodies at Old Navy dot com.
And by the way, happy National Jammy's Day.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Angelie, jeez, she's spilling it all.
Speaker 10 (15:57):
This is yeaky, well, what's up his way?
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Up at angela ya and it's time for your yet.
I was telling Dan about this dry yesterday. But according
to reports, UFC fighters have come forward and said that
they were given offers to take dives. Now there's a
whole investigation going on all after the main cart of
the UFC Vegas fight over the weekend, and apparently there
was a bad performance, right, that's what people thought at
(16:25):
first glance, But according to reports, there was a regular
line movement and some massive bets on the side of
del Valier and an unusually bad.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Showing from del Guarian.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
They said the whole thing was so sketchy that sports
bookies actually issued refunds to betters who bet on Dalgarian.
So the UFC has promised to thoroughly investigate the matter.
But in the wake of all this, other fighters have
come forward and said that they were offered to throw fights. Now,
bantamweight veteran Vince Morale said, all this throwing the fight
stuff is crazy. I've been approached about doing it and
(16:57):
it's not something I could live with, and he said
he was offered seventy.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Thousand dollars to take a dive.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Also, strawweight telling Vanessa Demopoulous said that my integrity could
never She said people have approach her to throw fights.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Also, well, here's.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
What Dana White had to say on TMZ Sports, and
he is, you know, shocked at all of this, but
he does feel like it's something that needs to be investigated.
Speaker 11 (17:19):
He called the fighter and his lawyer and said, what's
going on. There's some weird betting action going on in
your fight? Are you are you injured? Do you owe
anybody money? Has anybody approached you to you know, and
the kid said, no, I'm going to kill this guy.
And Luis said, okay, the fight plays out and first
round finish. Literally, the first thing we did was called
(17:39):
the FBI.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Now, Dana White said he met with the FBA twice
and also spoke with Director Cash Patel about this. And
you know, he's the one that's been investigating all of
this NBA betting. So it'll be interesting to see how
all of this turns out. And Sauce Waka has launched
a lean flavored soda. He said that's going to help
fans quit the real thing. Here's what he had to
say say.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
If you love Trish, drink this and you don't gotta
get high instead of handing your business.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
That's what we did for you.
Speaker 12 (18:06):
Man.
Speaker 10 (18:06):
You can drink this on the way to the gym,
on the way to the job, on the way to
the church.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
You can share with your family and if are you.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
So, it's called Ski Taste Beverages.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
It feels like, you know how people try to like
get off a cigarettes and you know, or get off
like other Just hopefully this isn't bad for you too.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
But it's lean flavor soda. All right, well, that is
your yet and.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
When we come back, we have asked yee eight hundred
two ninety two fifty one fifty call us up any
question you have.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
We got your back. It's way up her.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Everybody six with its relationship or career advice.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Angela's dropping facts, so you should you should know.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
This is as gee, what's up his way up with Angela? Ye,
and it's time to ask. You're gonna give you some advice.
We have a voice message today and this guy is
actually a side piece. He really cares for this woman,
but she's in an abusive relationship.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Listen to this.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
I've been stating a married woman in an exfusive relationship physically, mentally,
all of.
Speaker 8 (19:02):
That, and I'm like, I don't know what to do
and I want to protect her, but she's not reading.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
So I need some advice.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
I mean, until a woman is ready to leave an
abusive relationship, she's not going to I also don't want
her to get caught and then her husband is abusive
or ready, So I would also tread lightly when it
comes to that and not push her because sometimes when
you push somebody that's in that situation and not ready
to leave, they can sometimes shut down and cut you off.
(19:32):
What I would do is let her know that I care,
that I'm concerned, and let her know about resources that
are available if she is ready to get to the
point where she's planning her exit strategy. You know, just
be as practical as you can when it comes to
helping her. But I am concerned about you being a
side piece in this situation.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
If he ever goes through her.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Phone, follows her, you know, people like that, you never
know what that can escalate to. But if I were you,
I would also talk to an expert about this, because
there are people who are really trained to know how
to deal with every scenario. And find a person that
she can talk to so that when she's ready, she
has someone that she can call up.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Because you and.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
I are not the people that know how to give
people the resources that they need. But what we can
do is direct them to the right people and let
them know I'm in your corner and I'm here.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
To support you however you need to.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
It feels like you want to be with her, so
good to know that if she has to leave him,
she has an emergency place that she can come to
and feel safe. But just remember that is also potentially
dangerous if he ever finds out, So just tread lightly
and definitely I would defer to the experts in this
type of situation.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
All right, Well that was ask ye eight.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Hundred and two ninety two fifty one fifty call us up,
any question you have.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
You know, I got you back.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
And when we come back, Vanessa Bell Calloway is going
to be joining us. She is, of course, Anita, that
is Vince Staple's mother on The Vince Staples Show. Season
two is out right now we'll have a chance to
talk to her about her story career.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I'm excited. It's way up to turn.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Up you way up with angela ye?
Speaker 4 (21:06):
More now what's up his way up with angela ye?
And definitely a legend. Legends only are here today, and
that's about calloway. Thank you for joining me today, Thank
you for having me. You know, how is it to
know that like having been had such legendary moments and
I don't know too many people that we could look
at a body of work that they've done like decades
ago and be like that's still so important to us today.
Speaker 10 (21:29):
Well, you know, you never know what the job is
going to be when you get it when you're getting something.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
You just want a job most of the time.
Speaker 10 (21:36):
But the bonus is when you do something and then
years later it still stands, It still holds up.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
It's like Halloween costumes for me, like come to America.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Every year.
Speaker 10 (21:44):
I get pictures of girls in their prom dresses. I
get bridal look alikes. Of course, Halloween is huge, and
who knew that. I didn't know that that was going
to be one of the most iconic growths in the movie.
So you do something, and when you do it with
the right heart and the spirit because you like it,
and then you want to bring injustice, then the rest
of it takes care of itself.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
You know.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
The Vince Staple Show, season two is out and season
one you have a really funny episode with macaroni and
cheese right right as Vince's mother on the show.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
I'll make a mean mac and cheese too. Oh yeah,
you cook. Don't be bringing your stuff to my house.
I got it. Just some mac and cheese questions for you, now, okay.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
But on that particular episode, there was like a little
beef because somebody else bought the mac and teese, even
though they knew that was your thing right, and it was.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Kinda outshine, you know, outshine Anita Honey. No, all right?
So mac and cheese rad crimes are no no bread crumbs.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
And now I remember we had Corey Hardtack up here,
and I feel like you said, he put cream a mushroom.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
No creama mushroom. So what is your macaroni and cheese?
Speaker 10 (22:42):
I make a good root with good butter, lots of cheese,
heavy cream, and then you mix it in and then
you lay your cheese on top of it, and you
use about five six different cheeses.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Right now, I'm talking to Vanessa about Callaway. She is
playing Anita on the Vince Staple Show. Now, you've worked
with a lot of veterans, being a veteran your South,
but with Vince Staples him getting his own show, it's
very I would say, dry humor dead pin.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
It's rand arcasm, yes, sarcasm. What drew you to that
script and that show? I want to know how that
even happens.
Speaker 10 (23:13):
Well, you know, they approached me, and I like the script,
and my daughters, I'm be honest, I didn't know Vince
was and my daughters, oh mom.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Vince Staples? And they went on and all, and they said,
you know his music.
Speaker 10 (23:23):
I said I do. I'm I said, oh, I do
know his music. I have been hearing his music. I
just didn't know that was him. But when I met him,
I was so it was so endearing and he's so serious.
But that's what I like about him because of his
young age. He's so focused. He's so serious and he
understands the importance of having his name on this show.
And just to work with him, to watch him navigate everything.
(23:44):
He's very hands on. He writes a lot of the episodes.
He's a producer on well, and he's very generous and
wants to make sure you're good and everybody's okay. So
watching him work was very inspirational to see that, and
I'm very very proud of him.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
So all that drew me to him.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
I remember when the first season ended and he was
really petitioning, like to get a second season, and he
was like calling for people to be like, come.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
On, I gotta work for that. And it worked.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
I was thinking because at the time, I was like,
do we already know there's a second season and he's
doing this? Actually the I think there wasn't, but I've
never seen that really happen.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
No, it was it was bleak work.
Speaker 10 (24:19):
Came down to me that it wouldn't happen, and I
was disappointed. The months later they called my manager and
said that we were doing the season two and I
was like, halle Lou.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
You're praise geez. That is good all right.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Vanessa Bell Calloway is here. We are talking about the
Vince Staples Show season two. We have more when we
come back. It's way up about to.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Doos to tame this women in radio video.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
We're talking about Angela Ye. You're way up with Angela Yee.
Please believe that what's up?
Speaker 4 (24:46):
His way up at Angela Yee. And we have Vanessa
Bell Calloway here with us today. We're talking about the
Vince Staples Show season two and your character is so
funny on there is there any way that you could
see yourself relating to Anita as a mother his mind?
Speaker 10 (25:00):
Well, some ways, of course, because I am a mother too,
but I don't speak to my.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
Children that way.
Speaker 10 (25:05):
I mean a baby Nita has a peppery mouth. As
I saying, now, have I thought some of those things, absolutely,
I just haven't set them. There was no plan B
for you when it comes to acting, dancing.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
And all of that.
Speaker 10 (25:20):
Yeah, you gotta first all believe in yourself. And I
really believed in myself. I mean I actually have dreams
about me and stuff. I never forget. One time when
I was doing the original company of dream Girls. This
is in the eighties, and I had this vivid dream
of me with Darnee Williams and all my children. Because
I wanted to be on that show so bad. I
used to send the casting director and producer notes and
cards and postcards all the time, and I had a
(25:41):
vivid dream of me and him together during the scene.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
I saw it and it happened.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
It came to fruition.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (25:49):
So a lot of things in my careft scene or
I've just I just knew what's gonna happen, so I
just keep going. I danced, I was a concert dancer
here in New York for a while, and I did
Broadway off Broadway, did lots of commercials, a lot of that,
and then when I left to go out to California,
you know, my crew just continue to grow.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
But it was just never plan B.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
Right now, I'm talking to Vanessa about Callaway. She is
playing Anita on The Vince Staples Show, but you also
know her from Saints and Sinners Coming to America, the Blackhamptons.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
One of them days. I mean, she is phenomenal. All right, Well,
I appreciate.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
You for coming up here and just sharing all this
with me, because I know you got a busy pack schedule.
Speaker 10 (26:24):
Don't tell everybody watch Vince Stables. I'm gonna say this
season two. But this is what you gotta do. People,
you gotta binge it. If you haven't seen season two,
please watch season one, turn it on and let it go.
I don't care if you fall asleep and you get
to go to the bathroom, go to the grocery store.
Just let it run the way.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
You know.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
I have to go back and watch season one because
I feel like it's been a long time. Yeah, we'll
go back and watch season and then double thumbs it
at the end. Okay, you gotta double thumbs it and
then watch season two after you watch season one, and
the same thing.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Do not turn it off.
Speaker 10 (26:54):
That helps Netflix decide if they want to give us
a season three, which I think we deserve because this
season it's funny. I think people are gonna love it.
Vince is brilliant. He really, he's very brilliant. The humor
is there, but the seriousness is there, the sarcasm, the
satire is all there and together it just makes for
a great style.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
It's a different style.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
Well, thank you so much to Vanessa Bell Callaway for
joining us. Truly, truly a pleasure. And again this is
your show. When we come back, you'll have the last word.
