anniversary for the one in New York and Westchester. And
what they do is they make sure that people have
(01:54):
affordable housing or homes to live in period to help
close the racial home ownership app It was founded in
nineteen eighty four and so far they have served more
than twenty six hundred families.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
So there's proof in the concept.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
You can see the work that they do and people
can help not just by donating money, but also by volunteering,
so you can volunteer doing construction, working in the office.
They even have things for young people to do Habitat
young professionals with social networking, education advocacy events. They have
a retail store all of the things. So there's ways

Speaker 2 (04:04):
All right, let's get into this yet the Jasmine brand
broke this first and Big Meach has been released from
prison now. Initially he was scheduled to come home in
twenty twenty six, but he made it out after spending
almost twenty years behind bars for being convicted of running
a criminal enterprise. He's out now. His schedule date was
(04:24):
January twenty seven, twenty twenty six. I saw Sexy Red

Speaker 11 (04:32):
Yes, that's what's up. Welcome home, meech Man.
Speaker 9 (04:34):
Let's go round the plows. Welcome now, all right, all right,
welcome home.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
So let's see what's gonna happen. He is in a
halfway house now, though, is what they're saying.
Speaker 11 (04:44):
So, gaz, that's one step closer. It's all glod.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
According to Listen, I'm sure he'd much rather be there.
According to a report from TMZ, they confirmed that he
was transferred on Tuesday from FCI Coleman Low, Coleman Low
and WILDWIOD to community confinement overseen by the Miyami Residential
re Entry Management Office.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
All right, that's what's up.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
All right. Now, let's talk about the Menendez brothers.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
We told you guys there was going to be a
press conference that took place yesterday, and it did.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
The family of Lal and.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Eric Menendez held this press conference to urge the DA
to help free them. They've served thirty four years in
prison from murdering their parents. And here is what one
of the cousins had to say.
Speaker 13 (05:25):
My sister Diane had evidence of their abuse that was
not even allowed.
Speaker 11 (05:31):
To be presented at the trial.
Speaker 13 (05:33):
I cannot help but think of how things would be
different if the world had known the truth back then,
or if they had been the Menendez sisters. What happened
is tragic.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
But I forgive my cousins.
Speaker 13 (05:48):
I have forgiven them forever because I know they were
acting out of fear and desperation.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
These were children, right, that's Anna Maria Burratt, who's a
cousin of the Menanda's brothers.
Speaker 11 (06:03):
Yeah, you got to watch the documentary.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah, we only been watching the series.
Speaker 8 (06:07):
Right.
Speaker 9 (06:07):
The series is one thing, but the documentary kind of
goals in the detail. So they had a mistry the
first time. The second time they couldn't use that evidence.
The judge said, we're not going to use the evidence
of you of y'all guys are being molested or whatever.
Speaker 11 (06:20):
And it was just a whole.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Different trust and even the letter that was sent to
the cousin everything. And you know, the other thing that
happened was Rory Russella who was a member of the
boy band Menudo, also came forward and accused Hoostse the
fathers Menendas, of sexually assaulting him when he was thirteen
or fourteen.
Speaker 13 (06:37):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
So the defense saying that new evidence might have changed
the outcome of the trial and led to a manslaughter
conviction rather than a conviction for a first degree murder.
So they're not saying there shouldn't have been any repercussions,
but it shouldn't have been first degree murder.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Right, Yeah, yeah, you know, I'm saying at the time time.
Speaker 9 (06:57):
See, they used the information in the first trial, and
that's how they got a mistrial.
Speaker 11 (07:02):
Okay, so the same evidence they didn't allow them to use.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
All right, Well, and the and the show mind says
that we're watching on Netflix, right, the family has denounced
that show. They said it's phobic, gross, it's a nightmare
that's riddled with mistruths and outright falsehoods.
Speaker 11 (07:18):
Yeah. The movies is always a little more.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Yeah, it's a movie.
Speaker 11 (07:21):
Yeah you know.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
All right, well that is your Yet when we come back,
we have about last night. We'll find out why Mano
didn't make it in yesterday and tell you what we
did last night. Sheella was in heaven yesterday and she'll
tell you why.

She kept feeding me shots. You took me to the movies.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
First of all, I gave you one shot to celebrate.
Speaker 11 (08:07):
Going eating a lot of popcorn. And then that was
one thing.
Speaker 9 (08:10):
And then we went to Chelsea House to watch the
new Mayno Show, right, and then that was that was that.

I didn't recover.
Speaker 4 (08:25):

Speaker 2 (08:28):
They said, I'm gonna tell you except when you go
hang out at Chelsea House, you learn a lot about Mano.
They were like, he just drinks Frozen's normally when he
comes in, he doesn't even drink. And they were like,
he pretends to drink. I gave him, by the way crazy.
(08:49):
First of all, Mano act like he's so about that
light and he is out here drinking froze.
Speaker 11 (09:00):

Speaker 2 (09:07):
But I'm gonna tell you yesterday, so my lease is
up in my car, so I went to go pick
up a new car.
Speaker 11 (09:12):
Okay, okay, what did you do?
Speaker 2 (09:16):

Speaker 11 (09:35):
It was upgrade, so upgrade. But I told you, whether
I tell you get the car that you love.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah, I like that, but it's like a little boxy.
It wasn't my thing, but it's very nice on the inside.
It has like a party roof in there with the
lights on the roof and everything.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
But the other thing that we Didella was like, oh

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Chicken Rolls, so you know they in Long Island. Yeah,
so they moved our so we ain't got no more grand.

You don't understand you.
Speaker 11 (10:08):
I'm like, so we want to like chicken cheesecake factory.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
It's a little more.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yeah, we still got our cheesecake factory.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Everybody was like, why y'all ain't just take them? But
the chicken rolls, oh my god. They were so fie
ahead of time.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
And at first she said, we want to go there,
and I was like, I don't really feel like it.
She was souaking like we had an attitude, and then
she's like, it's fine. If you tied, we ain't got
to go. But you know, we don't have it in
Chicago no more. I was like, all right, fine, we went.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
She got chicken roll. She was so happy.
Speaker 7 (10:38):
She was.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Just we were already in Long Island. Shout out to
my girl Nike at the MW in Freeport. That hooked
me up. But yes, and then she also kept talking
about the slippery floors and Grand Luck.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
She was like, they got the most slippery floors.
Speaker 11 (10:54):
It's like a ride, right, I can't wait to go there.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
And shout out to Freddy at Grand Lux that helped
us at the bar. All right, right, Well, the other
thing I did last night was I was watching this
video of Safari basically getting into it with his ex,
and man, I felt like, this is just something that
people go through. He's been kind of quiet about the issues.
She's always talking about him being a deadbeat, him not
(11:18):
doing this, him not getting the kids.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
But then he put out some video and.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
He did a YouTube about why and I want to
talk to people. I want you guys to call up,
because I know there are a lot of guys out
there who may be going through it, and maybe you
want to see your kids, but it's hard because you
and the mom don't get along, and then it gets
more difficult and he is going to court. He details
all of that. He talks about, you know, the different
things that he's been trying to do to see his kids.
But we want to hear from you. Eight hundred nine
(11:44):
two fifty one fifty and we'll play the audio when
we come back. What was your experience like in trying
to see your kids? Did you go through a tough time?
If you did, tell us how you made it happen
eight hundred two nine two fifty one fifty.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Yeah, what's happy?
Speaker 7 (11:57):
You want to know?
Speaker 5 (11:57):
My name way up with Angela.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Ye, that's the way you put Angela.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Yee, I'm here, my Girlchella's here, Mayo's in the building.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Yes, sir, I know that's right. And we are talking
about the situation.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
We were watching Safari's YouTube and you know, yeah, he
has two kids and unfortunately he does not get along
with his ex at all anymore. But she does constantly
say that he's a dead beat so on is so far. Well,
he has finally responded yeah, and had video footage of
her using a ladder to climb into his house and
(12:31):
then going up to the front door and then you
see her inside and she's attacking him while the kids
are there. And so he basically was saying that he's
been doing what he could. He got that house because
he wanted to have his kids. He loves when his
kids are over there, because she's been saying these are
the days I have my kids, and these are the
days he has them.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
So it makes him look like he's a dead beat.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Christy, did you see the part where the kids was like,
I don't want to go back with.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Mommy and he was like, no, mommy loves you. The
daughter was like no please. I'm like, man, what's going.
Speaker 11 (12:58):
On over Yeah?
Speaker 4 (13:00):
I saw it.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
I didn't even see that.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
I saw that.
Speaker 11 (13:02):
I'm like a lot of them.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
No, You're like, where did the letter come from?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Well, heids saying that herself, Wow, that's not a good thing.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Well, here's what Safari had to say.
Speaker 14 (13:14):
Yeah, I don't wanted the whole family dynamic and it's
not there anymore. But I love my kids and it's
gotten to the point that I have to put myself
first because I'm either going to end up in jail
or worse, because I'm dealing with someone who is just
(13:36):
who's anger management is just non existent.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
All right, and that's a difficult situation. You want to
see your kids. But then you also know if I
don't go through this the right way, I could end
up getting into an altercation.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
You put your hands on me.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
But if I end up trying to defend myself now
you're saying I hit you, who knows what could happen?
Speaker 8 (13:57):
Now?
Speaker 2 (13:57):
We want to know because I know this is a
common thing, and I know a lot of times it
gets overlooked when dads want to be fathers, but they're
being prevented and they could do whatever they can. He said,
he has a court order, but they moved from Georgia
to Florida and he's got to go through some hall
of thing get a court date.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
It's a long process. So we want to hear your stories.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Eight hundred and two, nine fifty Halamar, how are you.
Speaker 10 (14:18):
It was going on? Angie?
Speaker 3 (14:20):
I'm good as me, Mateo and Tella.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
We want to know what has your experience been like
as far as wanting to see your kids and you
don't get along with the mom.
Speaker 10 (14:29):
It's been really rough. Like every other father out there,
I've been going through it like for nine years, wow.
And I've been through three lawyers. The last lawyers actually
helped me the most because she was actually a father advocate,
you know, so she went hard for me. And even
though I went to court to fight for joint custody
(14:51):
just to be able to be in my daughter's life,
I also had to go to separate court just to
take my daughter to Disney World.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Wow, to take care that anem I'm not want your
daughter to go to Disney World.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
That's crazy because.
Speaker 10 (15:04):
She just didn't because I was able to do everything
for my daughter that my father didn't do for me.
As you know, I'm an eighties baby, so us kids
at our ages now we just want to do what
our fathers never did for us, right, And she she
just didn't want me to make my daughter happy. And
you know, I went to therapy just to see if
find my bug in and I'm realizing it wasn't my issues, right,
(15:27):
it was the other person's issues. But at the end,
I'm confused because I wouldn't understand who would allow their
daughter to go through this. Cannot have a father when
I'm trying my best. I fought all these years. I
paid so much.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Money, and that money I went to your daughter.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
So what's he complaint? What's the problem with you?
Speaker 10 (15:48):
To be honest with you? And this is me being
honest on her radio. I knew this was going to
happen since since before my daughter was born, when she
was pregnant, because she told me, if I don't be
with her, she's going to make my life a living hell.
When she told me that, I started documenting all my
times with my daughter since the beginning, so I have
footage and pictures of me my daughter since she was born,
(16:10):
all the way until she was five. The hardest part
is that when my daughter, when I asked my daughter,
like what am I supposed to do? She he looks
at me like I don't know. She tells me, I
just want you and mond me to be best friends.
And I tell my daughter, I wish I can make.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
That happen for you.
Speaker 10 (16:28):
I wouldn't move on yet to make bro I don't.
I don't want to say she has I don't. I
just want to be with my daughter, and I don't
even moving moving on or not moving on. That should
not prevent me from being.
Speaker 11 (16:39):
A father, right, but she's probably miserable. That should help up,
you know.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
That's yeah, that's what I am so Sorah you went
through that because I could hear the emotion in your voice.
Speaker 10 (16:49):
I just want to be with my daughter. And now
I haven't seen my daughter in three months. She hasn't
caught me for Father's Day. She didn't call me for my.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Birthday because he could get a rid because.
Speaker 10 (17:00):
The court's exactly exactly that's why. Because gets an order
of protection on me and I didn't even do anything right.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
He could get arrested, and she would want that. Like
I think, sometimes people want you to come and do
something crazy, so it could be like see, I told
y'all he's crazy and then next thing, you know, and
make it worse.
Speaker 10 (17:17):
In my daughter's life. And this is what's going on.
She told me. The judge told me, if you go
to trial, you will lose, right. This is what she
told me, And I'm like, okay, so then I'm not
gonna go.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
I am so sorry, and thank you so much for
sharing with us. I wish there was anything we could
do to help, and you're right. The system is messed
up and there's nothing you could really do but wait
it out and keep paying and keep getting lawyers and
keep going to court.
Speaker 10 (17:41):
Well, I appreciate you allowing me to tell my story,
and I hope my advice to other fathers. It sucks,
but you got to do it a sap when the
baby is born, because if you do it, if you
wait too long, the system, the system won't recognize it.
You got to do it a sap.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
All right, Well, thank you for Colin. We appreciate you
so much. Tanya, how are you doing good? How are you?
Speaker 1 (18:03):
I'm good?
Speaker 3 (18:04):

Speaker 10 (18:14):
Not just black female, that's just.
Speaker 15 (18:16):
Kids on my hard time.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
She is started fighting.
Speaker 15 (18:18):
They have a time that he's supposed to get the kids.
Say he's supposed to be at five o'clock. If he's
not there at five o'clock and he comes at five o' five,
she will not let him get the kids. It's just
been horrible. Me and Hunt don't get along. He worked
a time to where he can't pick up the kids
when he's supposed to, so I'll go. You know, she
won't give me the kids?
Speaker 8 (18:37):
What?
Speaker 3 (18:39):
All right, that's wild, that's right. Well I am so sorry.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Well, and thank you for supporting your brother though I
know he needs it, man, you know. Sofari also said
that she sent naked pictures of him to his his family.

That's right.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
All right, let's get into this et. Floyd Mayweather is
purchasing an affordable housing portfolio four hundred and two million
dollars of acquirements in New York City. It's more than
sixty buildings, according to reports, most of the buildings are
in Upper Manhattan and according to a person familiar with
the matter. They didn't want to be identified because it's
(19:49):
private information.
Speaker 8 (19:50):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
They said that it's a major transaction for New York's
real estate market and because of rising interest rates, transactions
have slowed down, but this definitely does help. And Floyd
Mayweather on his behalf, did not immediately respond to a
request for comment, but he did acknowledge the deal on Twitter.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
So there you have it. That's big.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Over four hundred million dollars. Okay, man, I'm gonna get
to that point one day when it comes to real estate.
And it's an affordable housing portfolio, so I love that too. Yeah,
all right, Now let's talk about Fat Joe. He was
on Shannon Sharp and he was talking about his son
who has Down syndrome and what his initial thoughts were
when he found out. And by the way, he didn't
(20:34):
even want to throw the woman under the bus. But
this is a son that he has with his ex.
And here's what he had to say.
Speaker 10 (20:39):
He's born.
Speaker 16 (20:40):
The doctor tells us, hey, I got bad news to
tell you. Show us his hands and sweet he say
he got down syndrome. He's gonna be a big challenge.
I'm there with my mother, my father, and his mother,
and his mother was like, yo, I can't do this.
I'm gonna have to give him up for adoption. And
my mother was like you crazy, Like you ain't give
(21:01):
and so we raised him. I've never seen his mother again,
is what I'm trying to tell you. Is that so
she got Yeah, she never visited him again.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
That is wild.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
And I know he was trying not to because I
haven't heard him talk about this really, so I know
he probably was trying not to throw her under the
bus too much.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
But crazy, Yeah, isn't that crazy?
Speaker 2 (21:22):
And I know it's not easy, but look, he said,
the happiest kid, always smiling, So I know that's a
blessing for him to do what he needed to do.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
I wonder how does she feel now?
Speaker 11 (21:35):
Don't feel that's how she loves.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
He also previously talked about playing uncle for Nelly and
Ashanti's baby. He's like, Uncle Joe, that's so cute. Have
we seen pictures of that baby yet?
Speaker 17 (21:46):
No?
Speaker 11 (21:46):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Okay, all right, well, congratulations to them again and that
is your YE team. Now when we come back, we
have under the radar. These are the stories that are
not necessarily in the headlines. They're flying under the raidar,
but you need to know about it. Listen, next week
you'll be able to make reservations at a brand new
theme park that's going to be opening in May, and
I'll give you those details.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
It's way up the news.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
This in the news that relates to you. These stories
are flying under the radar.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
It's way up at Angela. Yee, I'm here, Mano's here here, hey,
and let's get into under the radar stories that are
flying under the radar. Student loan cancelation program for public
workers has now hit a milestone. They have granted belief
to more than one million Americans. So that number was
(22:36):
seven thousand when it was approved, and it was updated
by the Biden administration two years ago, so this milestone
was reached to day. He said that the administration restored
promised to Americans teachers, firefighters, nurses, and other public servants.
And then he also celebrated even as his border student
loan plan has been halted by legal challenges by Republican
(22:57):
led states.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
But they're still making en road to wherever they can.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Okay, okay, can't wait till they do that. With the
credit card loans.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
No, that's not gonna I don't think that's gonna happen.
You gotta pay them all right. Now, let's talk about
a new theme park. Universe or Orlando has announced the
opening date for their highly anticipated Epic Universe theme park
that's going to be opening Dana May twenty second, right
before Memorial Day weekend. It's going to be the largest
of three theme parks at the resort. And so the
(23:29):
new park, Epic Universe, will have five worlds, the Wizarding
World of Harry Potter, Ministry of Magic, Super Nintendo World,
How to Train Your Dragon, Isle of Burk, Dark Universe,
and Celestial Park. So you can actually start making reservations
in October this month. I think next week is the
date that you can start making those reservations if you
(23:50):
want to go October twenty second. So you can also
stay at the new hotel that's there is a five
hundred room Low's hotel called Universal Helios Grand Hotel.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
As a matter of fact, we should go. I don't
know if I want to go Memorial weekend. It's probably
gonna be crazy. But maybe there's like some type of preview,
no notorial one thing Mano is saying we need to
do because Halloween is coming out.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
We haven't even talked about Halloween.
Speaker 11 (24:37):
Yeah, well we should go to Six Flights.

All right, I'm gonna come back and go with y'all.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
All right, that's the plan.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Well that is you're under the radar, and now you know,
we still have a lot going on today. I'm excited
for this since we talked about Halloween is smile too.
The star Naomi Scott is going to be joining us,
and you know what I need to learn how to
do makeup better, like Halloween makeup, because I want to
do the smile with the lipstick, and I was thinking
(25:17):
I could use my Valentinos. No, they do that with
smile too. The posters is like the makeup, Yeah, all
on it. But the Spike Valentino buttery Matt lip color,
I could probably use that. It's a non drying Matt
finish and ten hours of comfortable wear and it's a
beautiful packaging. But it also really doesn't come off. So
for Halloween, I could use this lipstick and it could
(25:39):
stay on and.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
It's really pretty and it don't get clumpy.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Y'all noticed that, yes it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
It actually smells a little good too, So shout out
to everybody, and again smile to star.

And I'm linking with doctor Dorfmann to give away to
bb That's right.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
So before we get into it, I know bbl's is
a big commitment, so I want you to explain to him,
like exactly what we're doing.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Yeah, so this is one of our most popular procedures.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
It's our non surgical BBL, so no incisions, no major surgeon.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
We do this all with filler.
Speaker 17 (27:27):
This is one of the most popular treatments in Beverly Hills.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
We can really create and sculpt the booty of your dreams.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
See the booty of your dream He's just standing.
Speaker 11 (27:39):
If you're not taking the siller.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Yeah, it just feels like you know what's tough about
that too?
Speaker 2 (27:45):
I know, like sitting on something, there's a lot of
pressure that goes in that.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
You know. I don't know if you could, like how
do you sit on feelings like that?
Speaker 9 (27:55):
These pillows because after they get the subgery, you have
the fi have these pillows.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
But you can't use the pillows forever.
Speaker 9 (28:03):
No, it's maybe a couple of months, yes, and then
it's a painful process with the people.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Because I can't imagine sitting on your fillers.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Yes, I feel like he should do both. You know,
you get both of them, both of them.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Pay off tuition and due the video you're doing.
Speaker 11 (28:22):
And I was gonna sign somebody up like into the contest.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Well, he was doing this to promote his latest single.
Speaker 11 (28:30):
But yes, I never knew he was a rapper. Everything
I love, I never knew he was a rapper.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
You are crazy, disrespect.
Speaker 9 (28:38):
I don't know nothing. I know that he was with
the lady. I know nothing about him being a rapper.
Speaker 11 (28:43):
I swear it.
Speaker 8 (28:43):
Well.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Anyway, he got a lot of backlash when he offered
to do that. A lot of people were on social
media for promoting unhealthy body expectations. Other people were like, well,
why not partner with the cause for children or even education?
And so that's why he decided to pay off somebody's
student loans instead.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
You can't let people tell you what to do with
the money, but you.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Can also accept people's feedback and have a change of
heart and say, you know what, maybe this is better for.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
What it is that I want to represent.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
What about the people he disappointed?
Speaker 3 (29:14):
They might not have won anyway, It was only going
to be one person.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
Hope he should do both.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
At any rate. Let's talk about Lizzo now.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
She was at an event for Fortune It's called Most
Powerful Women, and while she was sitting up there, she
was asked a question about these sexual well recent allegations
about sexual harassments and other things from people that were
working with her, and here's how that went down.
Speaker 12 (29:43):
Had a difficult year last year, you had some allegations
against you of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment,
all of what you have denied. And I want to
be completely clear about that. How did you feel when
that news came to light?
Speaker 18 (29:57):
You know, I don't want to talk about things like that.
This isn't the space for We're celebrating female CEOs and
powerful women.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
This isn't really the space to talk about.
Speaker 18 (30:08):
The negative things that happen to us, because so much
negative stuff happens to powerful women.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
All right, Yeah, and I get it. It's the most
powerful women event. And I will say when we do
certain interviews, like it's red carpet or it's at an
award show, they don't want you to ask people controversial
things at that because it's like a celebration. So in
certain spaces, they're not trying to have conversations. I saw
people in the comments kind of torn over whether or
(30:35):
not that is a space because some people felt like, well,
that is a great space for you to be able
to address something like that, and some people felt like
what Lizo said, you know, this is a supposed to be. Yeah,
a celebration, an empowering situation. Why would we talk about
that right here? Have you ever made not done a
red carpet? Are you telling?
Speaker 3 (30:55):
And somebody asked you something that just threw you off?
Speaker 11 (30:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (30:57):
No, I'm always prepared for whatever.
Speaker 11 (31:00):
I've walked off questions like certain.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Questions, Oh really, like what?
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Like what?
Speaker 11 (31:08):
I can't remember?
Speaker 2 (31:08):

Speaker 8 (34:03):
It is I'm currently dating someone in another country, like
they're in India and we're discussed getting married, and I'm
trying to figure out as a man, do I continue
to be fatheful and just wait on this person to
come to my city to get married. And what's a
good enough of time to basically allow this person to
(34:24):
come to my country, flash city in US to start
a new life.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
All Right, I already know we're not going to agree.
Speaker 7 (34:30):
Why would he?
Speaker 11 (34:31):
Why would he?
Speaker 5 (34:32):
Even?
Speaker 9 (34:32):
He's like, why would he even think about, you know,
being faithful to somebody?
Speaker 11 (34:36):
First of all, he don't even.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
Know, right, and he doesn't know her.
Speaker 11 (34:40):
You don't know that well to be faithful.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
We don't know how. But maybe they've seen each other
and they and he just wants her to move. Maybe
they I don't know, they see each.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
Other in prul I don't think she should.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Well, I'm gonna say I disagree, okay, because that is
somebody who he said I continue to be faithful. So
he's been faithful until now, but she is.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
No, I'm not I'm not a cheating I'm not a
cheater and I'm.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
Not a cheater. No, No, you would in peace?
Speaker 3 (35:17):
So why would you tell someone else to cheat?
Speaker 4 (35:19):
I mean, I will only cheat if I had a
reason to cheat. I don't.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
I'm saying, I don't cheat until they show me that
I need to.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
Here's my thing.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
If you are planning to marry this woman, right, and
you've been faithful up until new so you're asking should
you continue to be faithful?
Speaker 3 (35:36):
I think I don't know what the.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Timeline is for when she's supposed to move to the
US to be with him. I don't know if they've
met in person, because he didn't say that. But if
this is somebody that you've been dealing with, somebody that
you've met, you trusted, you want to get married. If
you feel like cheating, then you're not in a position
to want to get married. That's how If you're not
even married yet and you're already like, should I cheat?
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Then that means don't get married.
Speaker 11 (36:00):
That's a whole other country. Like I mean, we don't know.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
What she should because what if she moves now and
then she finds out.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
He was cheating.
Speaker 11 (36:08):
What if she got a whole man over there?
Speaker 3 (36:10):
What if?
Speaker 2 (36:11):
I mean, listen, he's asking what he should do. He
can't control what she does.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
But if you're asking me what you should do, you
should you want her to do?
Speaker 4 (36:18):
He won't if he feel like he should cheat, or
she questioned it.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Cheat and then if you're gonna cheat, don't get married.
That's how I feel.
Speaker 11 (36:25):
Chat and then do what you feel. Married People cheat
all the time.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
Yeah, but when you marry that's.
Speaker 9 (36:32):
I come.
Speaker 11 (36:32):
Marry women and marry men cheat all the time.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Man, they shouldn't. That's not right cheating.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
I don't think they all do, but I think a
lot of and a lot of marriages do and or
suffer from people cheating.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
So why would you want to do that?
Speaker 4 (36:45):
Sheating is traumatized and.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
Why cheat before?
Speaker 11 (36:47):
You like that?
Speaker 4 (36:50):
He don't?
Speaker 2 (36:50):
All right, well, listen, advice, you can take whichever advice
you went. But my thing is if you love her,
you want to marry her, and you've been faithful up
until now, he has. It depends on when she's moving here.
What's the plan from India in?
Speaker 5 (37:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (37:07):
Okay, she definitely indeed, you've been to India now, but
you can just tell them Indian glass over there.
Speaker 10 (37:13):
Man?
Speaker 3 (37:16):
All right, well that was s ye.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
I don't know what I'm gonna do eight hundred and
two nine two fifty one fifty if you couldn't get
through and when we come back, we have Naomi Scott

It really was.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
It was just the filmmaker.
Speaker 17 (38:40):
So I am to Parker who's I'd watched them the
short film that he did in twenty twenty called Laura
Hasn't Slept. I watched that. I remember I got a
link for it during COVID and I just thought, this
is such a dope concept, Like how has no one
thought of like the smile because it's so creepy. I
was like, this is you know when it feels like
so when you listen to a song and you think,
(39:02):
how is this does this not already exist?
Speaker 8 (39:04):
Type thing?
Speaker 4 (39:06):
So I loved it.
Speaker 17 (39:07):
From that then I went to watch the movie in
the cinema and I was, I what really stuck out
to me? I was like, this is he really prioritizes
character and this is a real character piece. It's not
just like, you know, the character is used as to
move the plot along. It felt like that is a
(39:28):
priority for him as a filmmaker. So then when we met,
we were supposed to meet for like thirty minutes. Yeah,
and we were there for two and a half hours.
Like literally my husband had to come in and be like,
so we have to go, Like twice he came literally ok, nok,
but no, he literally is like, we have a life
to lead, we need to we need to leave.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
We actually do.
Speaker 17 (39:51):
And it was because he was talking about this character.
I hadn't read a script and I was like, wait,
so she's a pop star. I just that day I
was going to the studio to work on my project,
and so I think all of the things. It was
just like, wait, what so she's a musician And we
just went to and it was kind of like I
read the script and.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
I thought, Wow, he's right, this is a character piece.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Yeah, and there's a lot of settle things too, like
she has this big scar.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
Yeah you know that she does.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
When I had and I was thinking about how you've
talked about like dealing in the past with exzema and
being really self conscious about that and when somebody's in
the public eye like that, any little thing that other
people are like, no, it looks great, it looks fine.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
Yes, you really beat yourself up about it.
Speaker 17 (40:35):
I actually went through topical steroid withdrawal, which is like TSW,
which is basically a withdrawal from the seros. They give
you four exema, right, So I didn't it wasn't even
exma that I had. I didn't realize it at the time.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
It was a withdrawal from the tap.
Speaker 17 (40:52):
I mean, I looked like I was a Burns victim.
It was really rough, like really really rough. And then
of course my job is having my face on screen.
It was a great combination, Thank you Lord. And so
you're right, it really and even listen even now, like
I'll go on a red carpet and I'm like, you know,
worrying about the angle because I'm quite sure, and I'm
(41:13):
worried that the picture is going to be you know
what I mean, just all these things, and it's like
being perceived is can be a bit, can be a lot,
I mean regardless, Like so I think.
Speaker 4 (41:23):
We're all we're all the same in that sense.
Speaker 17 (41:25):
So I guess there was paraly I'm of course, nowhere
near as much as my character is being you know,
dissected and perceived in her fame, but I can guess
I can can relate.
Speaker 11 (41:37):
All right.
Speaker 3 (41:37):
Naomi Scott is here.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
She's a Starismith too, and I have to say she
did an amazing dab. The movie isn't theaters tomorrow, but
of course we have more with her when we come back,
because you know, I love a Girhira movie.
Speaker 3 (41:48):
Is way up, which being waiting for.
Speaker 5 (41:54):
You're in the way up with Angela yee.
Speaker 3 (41:57):
What's up this way? Your buddy, Angela yee.
Speaker 2 (41:58):
I'm here, my girl, tell it is here and we
are talking to the star of Smile to Naomi Scott. Now,
I want to talk about the character a Sky, who
is the main character.
Speaker 3 (42:08):
That's your character in this movie.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
You're a pop star, but you're going through a lot,
and it's time for you to get back on the
road and have this big first show in New York
by the way, because you're living in New York by
the way, in an amazing apartment. And when you see this,
when you see this movie and you see the apartment
this guy is living in, it's gonna make you want
to be a pop star. But you know, but even
like us feeling so sympathetic to that character because it's
(42:32):
like it felt like you were so alone and in
some ways isolating yourself. And then I'm thinking about because
of course I've seen the first smile when that came out,
but also thinking about because the whole point of the
movie is just like a supernatural entity that latches onto you. Yes, yes,
And so I'm trying to figure out what makes that
(42:53):
figure out who it's going to latch onto when it
feels like you had some baggage and things that you
had never told anybody, some secrets.
Speaker 3 (43:00):
Yes, so maybe it's kind of like the paybag. I
don't know, do you know what?
Speaker 17 (43:04):
I don't know either.
Speaker 4 (43:07):
That direction. No, But I think you're right the.
Speaker 17 (43:10):
First of all. Yes, you're completely right. Like the movie,
he's Parker's so specific. He wants to shoot it in
a way that Sky is always isolated. She's a feeling,
and I think there's something to be said for, you know,
the idea of the things that she has to deal with.
Fame is not necessarily a conducive environment to deal with
your issue, right, Sometimes if you don't have obviously the
(43:31):
right people around you. It's like it can cause you
to be less vulnerable with the people around you and
then be less hold you less accountable. So I think
it kind of goes both ways, and it can kind
of go down that path, and then of course there's
money involved and there's like people laying on hay r
roll all that, and it's like, you know, we've got
to keep the train on the track type of issue.
Speaker 4 (43:53):
So yeah, it was.
Speaker 17 (43:55):
I think it's a really the most important thing I
think for Parker and I was that it felt believable
that she you know, that was his thing is like
we believe that she's a pop star and like and
he just stays with his characters.
Speaker 11 (44:09):
That's what I love.
Speaker 17 (44:10):
So you really do feel like you're beginning to peel
back the layers. And I think the idea of this
entity feeding off of like your trauma or your you know,
whatever you're going through, I think there's there's some of
that in there too.
Speaker 4 (44:23):
But yeah, no, that's I think that's so it was
very believable.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
And you are really a singer songwriter. It's kind of
a perfect role for you.
Speaker 3 (44:30):
Thank you, I really.
Speaker 8 (44:33):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (44:33):
If it's sitting there watching you played the piano and
make songs.
Speaker 2 (44:36):
Were those songs that you really because that is your
forte anyway where they like, Okay, you can have a
little freedom with this poet.
Speaker 17 (44:43):
That song I wrote, I co wrote with. Her name
is alexis Ida Rose. She's a writer producer. She wrote
and produced four of the five songs in the movie.
So there was three songs and two of which she
wrote and produced. And it was her vocal and the
demo and I use that as a bit of a
blue and so I really wanted to lean into that,
and I wanted to create Sky sound. And you know,
(45:05):
we kind of in terms of how we vocal produced
and oh how she how she vocal produced me, and like,
I didn't want to sound like me. I want to
sound like Sky.
Speaker 2 (45:13):
Okay, okay, let's talk about Jack Nicholsons and Ray Nicholson.
He is in this movie looks just like him when
he was young in the Shining, isn't he That is
so clever?
Speaker 4 (45:24):
He bodied that like scene like he just killed it.
Speaker 17 (45:27):
And you know, of course, yes, he is who he is,
and you know, of course some of that you can
see those resemblance, but you have to he has the
chops he has, and that is why Parker cast him,
not because you know, this is not that is not
a role that you cast for a look or a
you know, it's it's really like can they do the
(45:48):
thing and just came in with the best energy, just
really injected that just knew, you know, someone just understands
the assignment. Couldn't can't speak highly enough about him.
Speaker 2 (45:57):
Well, listen, I just want to tell everybody and make
sure you go out in west this. You did a
phenomenal job. I also quote in an article where it
said this is definitely the scariest movie of the year
so far. Wow, could you see yourself doing more horror
after this?
Speaker 4 (46:12):
Yeah, you know, I just want.
Speaker 17 (46:13):
To work with great people first. I actually don't care
the genre. I'm like, I just want to work with
people that I think could. I didn't grow up on horror,
maybe because I'm a Pastes door so like scared p
I was like, listen, my mom was funny about Sabrina
rich Let alone.
Speaker 2 (46:25):
And you saying gospel right, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 7 (48:04):
Back when I was about twenty years old and I
had my daughter, my daughter, her mom kept her for
me for six months, just out of spite. There's no
real reason behind it. I ended up having to go
to court and then her I forget who it was,
but her attorney was like messing up a lot in court,
and so I ended up getting like immediate rights to
(48:26):
my daughter. I forget, like, but man, she had a
restraining order against me. I wasn't allowed to go to
babysitters like I would drive by the babysitter's house just
to see my kid playing outside. And just to drive
by and see your kid knowing you can't slop and
do nothing was like, man, that that messed me up
for a while
Speaker 6 (48:43):

Speaker 2 (01:31):
All right, It's way up with Angela yee, I'm here.
My girl Tellah is here right, oh man. And today
I want to shine a light on an organization here
in It's actually an international organization, but they have their
own independent affiliates, Habitat for Humanity, and it's their fortieth
anniversary for the one in New York and Westchester. And
what they do is they make sure that people have
(01:54):
affordable housing or homes to live in period to help
close the racial home ownership app It was founded in
nineteen eighty four and so far they have served more
than twenty six hundred families.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
So there's proof in the concept.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
You can see the work that they do and people
can help not just by donating money, but also by volunteering,
so you can volunteer doing construction, working in the office.
They even have things for young people to do Habitat
young professionals with social networking, education advocacy events. They have
a retail store all of the things. So there's ways
(02:28):
that everybody can participate and help with housing. All right, Well,

All right, let's get into this yet the Jasmine brand
broke this first and Big Meach has been released from
prison now. Initially he was scheduled to come home in
twenty twenty six, but he made it out after spending
almost twenty years behind bars for being convicted of running
a criminal enterprise. He's out now. His schedule date was
(04:24):
January twenty seven, twenty twenty six. I saw Sexy Red
say where to welcome home party at I'm trying to

Speaker 11 (04:32):
Yes, that's what's up. Welcome home, meech Man.
Speaker 9 (04:34):
Let's go round the plows. Welcome now, all right, all right,
welcome home.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
So let's see what's gonna happen. He is in a
halfway house now, though, is what they're saying.
Speaker 11 (04:44):
So, gaz, that's one step closer. It's all glod.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
According to Listen, I'm sure he'd much rather be there.
According to a report from TMZ, they confirmed that he
was transferred on Tuesday from FCI Coleman Low, Coleman Low
and WILDWIOD to community confinement overseen by the Miyami Residential
re Entry Management Office.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
All right, that's what's up.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
All right. Now, let's talk about the Menendez brothers.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
We told you guys there was going to be a
press conference that took place yesterday, and it did.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
The family of Lal and.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Eric Menendez held this press conference to urge the DA
to help free them. They've served thirty four years in
prison from murdering their parents. And here is what one
of the cousins had to say.
Speaker 13 (05:25):
My sister Diane had evidence of their abuse that was
not even allowed.
Speaker 11 (05:31):
To be presented at the trial.
Speaker 13 (05:33):
I cannot help but think of how things would be
different if the world had known the truth back then,
or if they had been the Menendez sisters. What happened
is tragic.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
But I forgive my cousins.
Speaker 13 (05:48):
I have forgiven them forever because I know they were
acting out of fear and desperation.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
These were children, right, that's Anna Maria Burratt, who's a
cousin of the Menanda's brothers.
Speaker 11 (06:03):
Yeah, you got to watch the documentary.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah, we only been watching the series.
Speaker 8 (06:07):
Right.
Speaker 9 (06:07):
The series is one thing, but the documentary kind of
goals in the detail. So they had a mistry the
first time. The second time they couldn't use that evidence.
The judge said, we're not going to use the evidence
of you of y'all guys are being molested or whatever.
Speaker 11 (06:20):
And it was just a whole.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Different trust and even the letter that was sent to
the cousin everything. And you know, the other thing that
happened was Rory Russella who was a member of the
boy band Menudo, also came forward and accused Hoostse the
fathers Menendas, of sexually assaulting him when he was thirteen
or fourteen.
Speaker 13 (06:37):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
So the defense saying that new evidence might have changed
the outcome of the trial and led to a manslaughter
conviction rather than a conviction for a first degree murder.
So they're not saying there shouldn't have been any repercussions,
but it shouldn't have been first degree murder.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Right, Yeah, yeah, you know, I'm saying at the time time.
Speaker 9 (06:57):
See, they used the information in the first trial, and
that's how they got a mistrial.
Speaker 11 (07:02):
Okay, so the same evidence they didn't allow them to use.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
All right, Well, and the and the show mind says
that we're watching on Netflix, right, the family has denounced
that show. They said it's phobic, gross, it's a nightmare
that's riddled with mistruths and outright falsehoods.
Speaker 11 (07:18):
Yeah. The movies is always a little more.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Yeah, it's a movie.
Speaker 11 (07:21):

Everybody was like, why y'all ain't just take them? But
the chicken rolls, oh my god. They were so fie
ahead of time.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
And at first she said, we want to go there,
and I was like, I don't really feel like it.
She was souaking like we had an attitude, and then
she's like, it's fine. If you tied, we ain't got
to go. But you know, we don't have it in
Chicago no more. I was like, all right, fine, we went.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
She got chicken roll. She was so happy.
Speaker 7 (10:38):
She was.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Just we were already in Long Island. Shout out to
my girl Nike at the MW in Freeport. That hooked
me up. But yes, and then she also kept talking
about the slippery floors and Grand Luck.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
She was like, they got the most slippery floors.
Speaker 11 (10:54):
It's like a ride, right, I can't wait to go there.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
And shout out to Freddy at Grand Lux that helped
us at the bar. All right, right, Well, the other
thing I did last night was I was watching this
video of Safari basically getting into it with his ex,
and man, I felt like, this is just something that
people go through. He's been kind of quiet about the issues.
She's always talking about him being a deadbeat, him not
(11:18):
doing this, him not getting the kids.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
But then he put out some video and.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
He did a YouTube about why and I want to
talk to people. I want you guys to call up,
because I know there are a lot of guys out
there who may be going through it, and maybe you
want to see your kids, but it's hard because you
and the mom don't get along, and then it gets
more difficult and he is going to court. He details
all of that. He talks about, you know, the different
things that he's been trying to do to see his kids.
But we want to hear from you. Eight hundred nine
(11:44):
two fifty one fifty and we'll play the audio when
we come back. What was your experience like in trying
to see your kids? Did you go through a tough time?
If you did, tell us how you made it happen
eight hundred two nine two fifty one fifty.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Yeah, what's happy?
Speaker 7 (11:57):
You want to know?
Speaker 5 (11:57):
My name way up with Angela.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Ye, that's the way you put Angela.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Yee, I'm here, my Girlchella's here, Mayo's in the building.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Yes, sir, I know that's right. And we are talking
about the situation.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
We were watching Safari's YouTube and you know, yeah, he
has two kids and unfortunately he does not get along
with his ex at all anymore. But she does constantly
say that he's a dead beat so on is so far. Well,
he has finally responded yeah, and had video footage of
her using a ladder to climb into his house and
(12:31):
then going up to the front door and then you
see her inside and she's attacking him while the kids
are there. And so he basically was saying that he's
been doing what he could. He got that house because
he wanted to have his kids. He loves when his
kids are over there, because she's been saying these are
the days I have my kids, and these are the
days he has them.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
So it makes him look like he's a dead beat.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Christy, did you see the part where the kids was like,
I don't want to go back with.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Mommy and he was like, no, mommy loves you. The
daughter was like no please. I'm like, man, what's going.
Speaker 11 (12:58):
On over Yeah?
Speaker 4 (13:00):
I saw it.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
I didn't even see that.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
I saw that.
Speaker 11 (13:02):
I'm like a lot of them.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
No, You're like, where did the letter come from?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Well, heids saying that herself, Wow, that's not a good thing.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Well, here's what Safari had to say.
Speaker 14 (13:14):
Yeah, I don't wanted the whole family dynamic and it's
not there anymore. But I love my kids and it's
gotten to the point that I have to put myself
first because I'm either going to end up in jail
or worse, because I'm dealing with someone who is just
(13:36):
who's anger management is just non existent.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
All right, and that's a difficult situation. You want to
see your kids. But then you also know if I
don't go through this the right way, I could end
up getting into an altercation.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
You put your hands on me.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
But if I end up trying to defend myself now
you're saying I hit you, who knows what could happen?
Speaker 8 (13:57):
Now?
Speaker 2 (13:57):
We want to know because I know this is a
common thing, and I know a lot of times it
gets overlooked when dads want to be fathers, but they're
being prevented and they could do whatever they can. He said,
he has a court order, but they moved from Georgia
to Florida and he's got to go through some hall
of thing get a court date.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
It's a long process. So we want to hear your stories.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Eight hundred and two, nine fifty Halamar, how are you.
Speaker 10 (14:18):
It was going on? Angie?
Speaker 3 (14:20):
I'm good as me, Mateo and Tella.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
We want to know what has your experience been like
as far as wanting to see your kids and you
don't get along with the mom.
Speaker 10 (14:29):
It's been really rough. Like every other father out there,
I've been going through it like for nine years, wow.
And I've been through three lawyers. The last lawyers actually
helped me the most because she was actually a father advocate,
you know, so she went hard for me. And even
though I went to court to fight for joint custody
(14:51):
just to be able to be in my daughter's life,
I also had to go to separate court just to
take my daughter to Disney World.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Wow, to take care that anem I'm not want your
daughter to go to Disney World.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
That's crazy because.
Speaker 10 (15:04):
She just didn't because I was able to do everything
for my daughter that my father didn't do for me.
As you know, I'm an eighties baby, so us kids
at our ages now we just want to do what
our fathers never did for us, right, And she she
just didn't want me to make my daughter happy. And
you know, I went to therapy just to see if
find my bug in and I'm realizing it wasn't my issues, right,
(15:27):
it was the other person's issues. But at the end,
I'm confused because I wouldn't understand who would allow their
daughter to go through this. Cannot have a father when
I'm trying my best. I fought all these years. I
paid so much.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Money, and that money I went to your daughter.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
So what's he complaint? What's the problem with you?
Speaker 10 (15:48):
To be honest with you? And this is me being
honest on her radio. I knew this was going to
happen since since before my daughter was born, when she
was pregnant, because she told me, if I don't be
with her, she's going to make my life a living hell.
When she told me that, I started documenting all my
times with my daughter since the beginning, so I have
footage and pictures of me my daughter since she was born,
(16:10):
all the way until she was five. The hardest part
is that when my daughter, when I asked my daughter,
like what am I supposed to do? She he looks
at me like I don't know. She tells me, I
just want you and mond me to be best friends.
And I tell my daughter, I wish I can make.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
That happen for you.
Speaker 10 (16:28):
I wouldn't move on yet to make bro I don't.
I don't want to say she has I don't. I
just want to be with my daughter, and I don't
even moving moving on or not moving on. That should
not prevent me from being.
Speaker 11 (16:39):
A father, right, but she's probably miserable. That should help up,
you know.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
That's yeah, that's what I am so Sorah you went
through that because I could hear the emotion in your voice.
Speaker 10 (16:49):
I just want to be with my daughter. And now
I haven't seen my daughter in three months. She hasn't
caught me for Father's Day. She didn't call me for my.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Birthday because he could get a rid because.
Speaker 10 (17:00):
The court's exactly exactly that's why. Because gets an order
of protection on me and I didn't even do anything right.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
He could get arrested, and she would want that. Like
I think, sometimes people want you to come and do
something crazy, so it could be like see, I told
y'all he's crazy and then next thing, you know, and
make it worse.
Speaker 10 (17:17):
In my daughter's life. And this is what's going on.
She told me. The judge told me, if you go
to trial, you will lose, right. This is what she
told me, And I'm like, okay, so then I'm not
gonna go.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
I am so sorry, and thank you so much for
sharing with us. I wish there was anything we could
do to help, and you're right. The system is messed
up and there's nothing you could really do but wait
it out and keep paying and keep getting lawyers and
keep going to court.
Speaker 10 (17:41):
Well, I appreciate you allowing me to tell my story,
and I hope my advice to other fathers. It sucks,
but you got to do it a sap when the
baby is born, because if you do it, if you
wait too long, the system, the system won't recognize it.
You got to do it a sap.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
All right, Well, thank you for Colin. We appreciate you
so much. Tanya, how are you doing good? How are you?
Speaker 1 (18:03):
I'm good?
Speaker 3 (18:04):
So you want to share with us.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
I know you've you've witnessed father're trying to see his kids.
Speaker 15 (18:10):
My brother is in a situation where he has two kids.
Speaker 10 (18:14):
Not just black female, that's just.
Speaker 15 (18:16):
Kids on my hard time.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
She is started fighting.
Speaker 15 (18:18):
They have a time that he's supposed to get the kids.
Say he's supposed to be at five o'clock. If he's
not there at five o'clock and he comes at five o' five,
she will not let him get the kids. It's just
been horrible. Me and Hunt don't get along. He worked
a time to where he can't pick up the kids
when he's supposed to, so I'll go. You know, she
won't give me the kids?
Speaker 8 (18:37):
What?
Speaker 3 (18:39):
All right, that's wild, that's right. Well I am so sorry.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Well, and thank you for supporting your brother though I
know he needs it, man, you know. Sofari also said
that she sent naked pictures of him to his his family.
Speaker 11 (18:55):
Crazy.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Yeah, I mean that's next level. All right.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Well, when we come back, we have your yet and
we'll talk about a four hundred and twenty million on
a four hundred and two million dollar purchase that's made
by a celebrity here in New York City.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Will tell you what he bought.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Its way up, they say in the rooms, from industry
shade to all of gossip out.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
Angela's spilling that EyeT.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
It's way up at Angela.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Yee, I'm here, mano is yeah, is in the building.
Speaker 12 (19:27):
I know.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
All right, let's get into this et. Floyd Mayweather is
purchasing an affordable housing portfolio four hundred and two million
dollars of acquirements in New York City. It's more than
sixty buildings, according to reports, most of the buildings are
in Upper Manhattan and according to a person familiar with
the matter. They didn't want to be identified because it's
(19:49):
private information.
Speaker 8 (19:50):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
They said that it's a major transaction for New York's
real estate market and because of rising interest rates, transactions
have slowed down, but this definitely does help. And Floyd
Mayweather on his behalf, did not immediately respond to a
request for comment, but he did acknowledge the deal on Twitter.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
So there you have it. That's big.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Over four hundred million dollars. Okay, man, I'm gonna get
to that point one day when it comes to real estate.
And it's an affordable housing portfolio, so I love that too. Yeah,
all right, Now let's talk about Fat Joe. He was
on Shannon Sharp and he was talking about his son
who has Down syndrome and what his initial thoughts were
when he found out. And by the way, he didn't
(20:34):
even want to throw the woman under the bus. But
this is a son that he has with his ex.
And here's what he had to say.
Speaker 10 (20:39):
He's born.
Speaker 16 (20:40):
The doctor tells us, hey, I got bad news to
tell you. Show us his hands and sweet he say
he got down syndrome. He's gonna be a big challenge.
I'm there with my mother, my father, and his mother,
and his mother was like, yo, I can't do this.
I'm gonna have to give him up for adoption. And
my mother was like you crazy, Like you ain't give
(21:01):
and so we raised him. I've never seen his mother again,
is what I'm trying to tell you. Is that so
she got Yeah, she never visited him again.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
That is wild.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
And I know he was trying not to because I
haven't heard him talk about this really, so I know
he probably was trying not to throw her under the
bus too much.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
But crazy, Yeah, isn't that crazy?
Speaker 2 (21:22):
And I know it's not easy, but look, he said,
the happiest kid, always smiling, So I know that's a
blessing for him to do what he needed to do.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
I wonder how does she feel now?
Speaker 11 (21:35):
Don't feel that's how she loves.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
He also previously talked about playing uncle for Nelly and
Ashanti's baby. He's like, Uncle Joe, that's so cute. Have
we seen pictures of that baby yet?
Speaker 17 (21:46):
No?
Speaker 11 (21:46):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Okay, all right, well, congratulations to them again and that
is your YE team. Now when we come back, we
have under the radar. These are the stories that are
not necessarily in the headlines. They're flying under the raidar,
but you need to know about it. Listen, next week
you'll be able to make reservations at a brand new
theme park that's going to be opening in May, and
I'll give you those details.
Speaker 3 (22:07):

are flying under the radar.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
It's way up at Angela. Yee, I'm here, Mano's here here, hey,
and let's get into under the radar stories that are
flying under the radar. Student loan cancelation program for public
workers has now hit a milestone. They have granted belief
to more than one million Americans. So that number was
(22:36):
seven thousand when it was approved, and it was updated
by the Biden administration two years ago, so this milestone
was reached to day. He said that the administration restored
promised to Americans teachers, firefighters, nurses, and other public servants.
And then he also celebrated even as his border student
loan plan has been halted by legal challenges by Republican
(22:57):
led states.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
But they're still making en road to wherever they can.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Okay, okay, can't wait till they do that. With the
credit card loans.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
No, that's not gonna I don't think that's gonna happen.
You gotta pay them all right. Now, let's talk about
a new theme park. Universe or Orlando has announced the
opening date for their highly anticipated Epic Universe theme park
that's going to be opening Dana May twenty second, right
before Memorial Day weekend. It's going to be the largest
of three theme parks at the resort. And so the
(23:29):
new park, Epic Universe, will have five worlds, the Wizarding
World of Harry Potter, Ministry of Magic, Super Nintendo World,
How to Train Your Dragon, Isle of Burk, Dark Universe,
and Celestial Park. So you can actually start making reservations
in October this month. I think next week is the
date that you can start making those reservations if you
(23:50):
want to go October twenty second. So you can also
stay at the new hotel that's there is a five
hundred room Low's hotel called Universal Helios Grand Hotel.

As a matter of fact, we should go. I don't
know if I want to go Memorial weekend. It's probably
gonna be crazy. But maybe there's like some type of preview,
no notorial one thing Mano is saying we need to
do because Halloween is coming out.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
Well that is you're under the radar, and now you know,
we still have a lot going on today. I'm excited
for this since we talked about Halloween is smile too.
The star Naomi Scott is going to be joining us,
and you know what I need to learn how to
do makeup better, like Halloween makeup, because I want to
do the smile with the lipstick, and I was thinking
(25:17):
I could use my Valentinos. No, they do that with
smile too. The posters is like the makeup, Yeah, all
on it. But the Spike Valentino buttery Matt lip color,
I could probably use that. It's a non drying Matt
finish and ten hours of comfortable wear and it's a
beautiful packaging. But it also really doesn't come off. So
for Halloween, I could use this lipstick and it could
(25:39):
stay on and.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
It's really pretty and it don't get clumpy.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Y'all noticed that, yes it doesn't.

So before we get into it, I know bbl's is
a big commitment, so I want you to explain to him,

Yeah, so this is one of our most popular procedures.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
It's our non surgical BBL, so no incisions, no major surgeon.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
We do this all with filler.
Speaker 17 (27:27):
This is one of the most popular treatments in Beverly Hills.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
We can really create and sculpt the booty of your dreams.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
See the booty of your dream He's just standing.
Speaker 11 (27:39):
If you're not taking the siller.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Yeah, it just feels like you know what's tough about
that too?
Speaker 2 (27:45):
I know, like sitting on something, there's a lot of
pressure that goes in that.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
You know. I don't know if you could, like how
do you sit on feelings like that?
Speaker 9 (27:55):
These pillows because after they get the subgery, you have
the fi have these pillows.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
But you can't use the pillows forever.
Speaker 9 (28:03):
No, it's maybe a couple of months, yes, and then
it's a painful process with the people.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Because I can't imagine sitting on your fillers.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Yes, I feel like he should do both. You know,
you get both of them, both of them.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Pay off tuition and due the video you're doing.
Speaker 11 (28:22):
And I was gonna sign somebody up like into the contest.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Well, he was doing this to promote his latest single.
Speaker 11 (28:30):
But yes, I never knew he was a rapper. Everything
I love, I never knew he was a rapper.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
You are crazy, disrespect.
Speaker 9 (28:38):
I don't know nothing. I know that he was with
the lady. I know nothing about him being a rapper.
Speaker 11 (28:43):
I swear it.
Speaker 8 (28:43):
Well.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Anyway, he got a lot of backlash when he offered
to do that. A lot of people were on social
media for promoting unhealthy body expectations. Other people were like, well,
why not partner with the cause for children or even education?
And so that's why he decided to pay off somebody's
student loans instead.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
You can't let people tell you what to do with
the money, but you.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Can also accept people's feedback and have a change of
heart and say, you know what, maybe this is better for.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
What it is that I want to represent.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
What about the people he disappointed?
Speaker 3 (29:14):
They might not have won anyway, It was only going
to be one person.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
Hope he should do both.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
At any rate. Let's talk about Lizzo now.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
She was at an event for Fortune It's called Most
Powerful Women, and while she was sitting up there, she
was asked a question about these sexual well recent allegations
about sexual harassments and other things from people that were
working with her, and here's how that went down.
Speaker 12 (29:43):
Had a difficult year last year, you had some allegations
against you of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment,
all of what you have denied. And I want to
be completely clear about that. How did you feel when
that news came to light?
Speaker 18 (29:57):
You know, I don't want to talk about things like that.
This isn't the space for We're celebrating female CEOs and
powerful women.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
This isn't really the space to talk about.
Speaker 18 (30:08):
The negative things that happen to us, because so much
negative stuff happens to powerful women.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
All right, Yeah, and I get it. It's the most
powerful women event. And I will say when we do
certain interviews, like it's red carpet or it's at an
award show, they don't want you to ask people controversial
things at that because it's like a celebration. So in
certain spaces, they're not trying to have conversations. I saw
people in the comments kind of torn over whether or
(30:35):
not that is a space because some people felt like, well,
that is a great space for you to be able
to address something like that, and some people felt like
what Lizo said, you know, this is a supposed to be. Yeah,
a celebration, an empowering situation. Why would we talk about
that right here? Have you ever made not done a
red carpet? Are you telling?
Speaker 3 (30:55):
And somebody asked you something that just threw you off?
Speaker 11 (30:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (30:57):
No, I'm always prepared for whatever.
Speaker 11 (31:00):
I've walked off questions like certain.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Questions, Oh really, like what?
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Like what?
Speaker 11 (31:08):
I can't remember?
Speaker 2 (31:08):

on the question, I'd be ready, you'd.

Speaker 8 (34:03):
It is I'm currently dating someone in another country, like
they're in India and we're discussed getting married, and I'm
trying to figure out as a man, do I continue
to be fatheful and just wait on this person to
come to my city to get married. And what's a
good enough of time to basically allow this person to
(34:24):
come to my country, flash city in US to start
a new life.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
All Right, I already know we're not going to agree.
Speaker 7 (34:30):
Why would he?
Speaker 11 (34:31):
Why would he?
Speaker 5 (34:32):
Even?
Speaker 9 (34:32):
He's like, why would he even think about, you know,
being faithful to somebody?
Speaker 11 (34:36):
First of all, he don't even.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
Know, right, and he doesn't know her.
Speaker 11 (34:40):
You don't know that well to be faithful.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
We don't know how. But maybe they've seen each other
and they and he just wants her to move. Maybe
they I don't know, they see each.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
Other in prul I don't think she should.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Well, I'm gonna say I disagree, okay, because that is
somebody who he said I continue to be faithful. So
he's been faithful until now, but she is.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
No, I'm not I'm not a cheating I'm not a
cheater and I'm.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
Not a cheater. No, No, you would in peace?
Speaker 3 (35:17):
So why would you tell someone else to cheat?
Speaker 4 (35:19):
I mean, I will only cheat if I had a
reason to cheat. I don't.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
I'm saying, I don't cheat until they show me that
I need to.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
Here's my thing.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
If you are planning to marry this woman, right, and
you've been faithful up until new so you're asking should
you continue to be faithful?
Speaker 3 (35:36):
I think I don't know what the.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Timeline is for when she's supposed to move to the
US to be with him. I don't know if they've
met in person, because he didn't say that. But if
this is somebody that you've been dealing with, somebody that
you've met, you trusted, you want to get married. If
you feel like cheating, then you're not in a position
to want to get married. That's how If you're not
even married yet and you're already like, should I cheat?
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Then that means don't get married.
Speaker 11 (36:00):
That's a whole other country. Like I mean, we don't know.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
What she should because what if she moves now and
then she finds out.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
He was cheating.
Speaker 11 (36:08):
What if she got a whole man over there?
Speaker 3 (36:10):
What if?
Speaker 2 (36:11):
I mean, listen, he's asking what he should do. He
can't control what she does.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
But if you're asking me what you should do, you
should you want her to do?
Speaker 4 (36:18):
He won't if he feel like he should cheat, or
she questioned it.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Cheat and then if you're gonna cheat, don't get married.
That's how I feel.
Speaker 11 (36:25):
Chat and then do what you feel. Married People cheat
all the time.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
Yeah, but when you marry that's.
Speaker 9 (36:32):
I come.
Speaker 11 (36:32):
Marry women and marry men cheat all the time.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Man, they shouldn't. That's not right cheating.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
I don't think they all do, but I think a
lot of and a lot of marriages do and or
suffer from people cheating.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
So why would you want to do that?
Speaker 4 (36:45):
Sheating is traumatized and.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
Why cheat before?
Speaker 11 (36:47):
You like that?
Speaker 4 (36:50):
He don't?
Speaker 2 (36:50):
All right, well, listen, advice, you can take whichever advice
you went. But my thing is if you love her,
you want to marry her, and you've been faithful up
until now, he has. It depends on when she's moving here.
What's the plan from India in?
Speaker 5 (37:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (37:07):
Okay, she definitely indeed, you've been to India now, but
you can just tell them Indian glass over there.
Speaker 10 (37:13):
Man?
Speaker 3 (37:16):
All right, well that was s ye.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
I don't know what I'm gonna do eight hundred and
two nine two fifty one fifty if you couldn't get
through and when we come back, we have Naomi Scott
joining us, the star of Smile Too.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
That movie is in theaters tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
And just so you know, we are doing a special
at my coffee shop, Coffee uplifts people on behalf of
Smile Too, and that's going to be happening tomorrow. I'll
give you those details on my Instagram page. It's way up.
Speaker 5 (37:40):
Yeah, what's you want to know? My name way up
with Ala.
Speaker 3 (37:46):

My girl Tell's here from Chicago.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
And we have a super special guest in the building.
Naomi Scott is here with us. Thank you for joining
us today.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
We actually went to go see the movie.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
I hosted a screening and the screening were so massive
but it had to take up too theaters. Oh wow,
So that's how many people wanted to come out and
see this movie early. So, you know, shout out to
you know, one thirty five agency and paramount from making
that happen.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
Free popcorn and drinks.
Speaker 4 (38:12):
But I told the popcorn was good. It wasn't stale?
Speaker 3 (38:14):
Was it no much better?
Speaker 17 (38:16):
I've literally even at these premieres. Yeah, we're gonna give
no stale popcorn, And I'm like, what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (38:21):
Because they got to get rid of the old popcorn.
They're not going to give that away stay anyway.
Speaker 17 (38:25):
Sorry, that's actually Chicago popcorn.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Oh, Chicago has famous popcorns.
Speaker 4 (38:30):
We got the best.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Okay, And I want to talk to you about what
made you decide you wanted to even take on this
world because it's majorly different for you.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
It really was.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
It was just the filmmaker.
Speaker 17 (38:40):
So I am to Parker who's I'd watched them the
short film that he did in twenty twenty called Laura
Hasn't Slept. I watched that. I remember I got a
link for it during COVID and I just thought, this
is such a dope concept, Like how has no one
thought of like the smile because it's so creepy. I
was like, this is you know when it feels like
so when you listen to a song and you think,
(39:02):
how is this does this not already exist?
Speaker 8 (39:04):
Type thing?
Speaker 4 (39:06):
So I loved it.
Speaker 17 (39:07):
From that then I went to watch the movie in
the cinema and I was, I what really stuck out
to me? I was like, this is he really prioritizes
character and this is a real character piece. It's not
just like, you know, the character is used as to
move the plot along. It felt like that is a
(39:28):
priority for him as a filmmaker. So then when we met,
we were supposed to meet for like thirty minutes. Yeah,
and we were there for two and a half hours.
Like literally my husband had to come in and be like,
so we have to go, Like twice he came literally ok, nok,
but no, he literally is like, we have a life
to lead, we need to we need to leave.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
We actually do.
Speaker 17 (39:51):
And it was because he was talking about this character.
I hadn't read a script and I was like, wait,
so she's a pop star. I just that day I
was going to the studio to work on my project,
and so I think all of the things. It was
just like, wait, what so she's a musician And we
just went to and it was kind of like I
read the script and.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
I thought, Wow, he's right, this is a character piece.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Yeah, and there's a lot of settle things too, like
she has this big scar.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
Yeah you know that she does.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
When I had and I was thinking about how you've
talked about like dealing in the past with exzema and
being really self conscious about that and when somebody's in
the public eye like that, any little thing that other
people are like, no, it looks great, it looks fine.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
Yes, you really beat yourself up about it.
Speaker 17 (40:35):
I actually went through topical steroid withdrawal, which is like TSW,
which is basically a withdrawal from the seros. They give
you four exema, right, So I didn't it wasn't even
exma that I had. I didn't realize it at the time.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
It was a withdrawal from the tap.
Speaker 17 (40:52):
I mean, I looked like I was a Burns victim.
It was really rough, like really really rough. And then
of course my job is having my face on screen.
It was a great combination, Thank you Lord. And so
you're right, it really and even listen even now, like
I'll go on a red carpet and I'm like, you know,
worrying about the angle because I'm quite sure, and I'm
(41:13):
worried that the picture is going to be you know
what I mean, just all these things, and it's like
being perceived is can be a bit, can be a lot,
I mean regardless, Like so I think.
Speaker 4 (41:23):
We're all we're all the same in that sense.
Speaker 17 (41:25):
So I guess there was paraly I'm of course, nowhere
near as much as my character is being you know,
dissected and perceived in her fame, but I can guess
I can can relate.
Speaker 11 (41:37):
All right.
Speaker 3 (41:37):
Naomi Scott is here.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
She's a Starismith too, and I have to say she
did an amazing dab. The movie isn't theaters tomorrow, but
of course we have more with her when we come back,
because you know, I love a Girhira movie.
Speaker 3 (41:48):
Is way up, which being waiting for.
Speaker 5 (41:54):
You're in the way up with Angela yee.
Speaker 3 (41:57):
What's up this way? Your buddy, Angela yee.
Speaker 2 (41:58):
I'm here, my girl, tell it is here and we
are talking to the star of Smile to Naomi Scott. Now,
I want to talk about the character a Sky, who
is the main character.
Speaker 3 (42:08):
That's your character in this movie.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
You're a pop star, but you're going through a lot,
and it's time for you to get back on the
road and have this big first show in New York
by the way, because you're living in New York by
the way, in an amazing apartment. And when you see this,
when you see this movie and you see the apartment
this guy is living in, it's gonna make you want
to be a pop star. But you know, but even
like us feeling so sympathetic to that character because it's
(42:32):
like it felt like you were so alone and in
some ways isolating yourself. And then I'm thinking about because
of course I've seen the first smile when that came out,
but also thinking about because the whole point of the
movie is just like a supernatural entity that latches onto you. Yes, yes,
And so I'm trying to figure out what makes that
(42:53):
figure out who it's going to latch onto when it
feels like you had some baggage and things that you
had never told anybody, some secrets.
Speaker 3 (43:00):
Yes, so maybe it's kind of like the paybag. I
don't know, do you know what?
Speaker 17 (43:04):
I don't know either.
Speaker 4 (43:07):
That direction. No, But I think you're right the.
Speaker 17 (43:10):
First of all. Yes, you're completely right. Like the movie,
he's Parker's so specific. He wants to shoot it in
a way that Sky is always isolated. She's a feeling,
and I think there's something to be said for, you know,
the idea of the things that she has to deal with.
Fame is not necessarily a conducive environment to deal with
your issue, right, Sometimes if you don't have obviously the
(43:31):
right people around you. It's like it can cause you
to be less vulnerable with the people around you and
then be less hold you less accountable. So I think
it kind of goes both ways, and it can kind
of go down that path, and then of course there's
money involved and there's like people laying on hay r
roll all that, and it's like, you know, we've got
to keep the train on the track type of issue.
Speaker 4 (43:53):
So yeah, it was.
Speaker 17 (43:55):
I think it's a really the most important thing I
think for Parker and I was that it felt believable
that she you know, that was his thing is like
we believe that she's a pop star and like and
he just stays with his characters.
Speaker 11 (44:09):
That's what I love.
Speaker 17 (44:10):
So you really do feel like you're beginning to peel
back the layers. And I think the idea of this
entity feeding off of like your trauma or your you know,
whatever you're going through, I think there's there's some of
that in there too.
Speaker 4 (44:23):
But yeah, no, that's I think that's so it was
very believable.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
And you are really a singer songwriter. It's kind of
a perfect role for you.
Speaker 3 (44:30):
Thank you, I really.
Speaker 8 (44:33):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (44:33):
If it's sitting there watching you played the piano and
make songs.
Speaker 2 (44:36):
Were those songs that you really because that is your
forte anyway where they like, Okay, you can have a
little freedom with this poet.
Speaker 17 (44:43):
That song I wrote, I co wrote with. Her name
is alexis Ida Rose. She's a writer producer. She wrote
and produced four of the five songs in the movie.
So there was three songs and two of which she
wrote and produced. And it was her vocal and the
demo and I use that as a bit of a
blue and so I really wanted to lean into that,
and I wanted to create Sky sound. And you know,
(45:05):
we kind of in terms of how we vocal produced
and oh how she how she vocal produced me, and like,
I didn't want to sound like me. I want to
sound like Sky.
Speaker 2 (45:13):
Okay, okay, let's talk about Jack Nicholsons and Ray Nicholson.
He is in this movie looks just like him when
he was young in the Shining, isn't he That is
so clever?
Speaker 4 (45:24):
He bodied that like scene like he just killed it.
Speaker 17 (45:27):
And you know, of course, yes, he is who he is,
and you know, of course some of that you can
see those resemblance, but you have to he has the
chops he has, and that is why Parker cast him,
not because you know, this is not that is not
a role that you cast for a look or a
you know, it's it's really like can they do the
(45:48):
thing and just came in with the best energy, just
really injected that just knew, you know, someone just understands
the assignment. Couldn't can't speak highly enough about him.
Speaker 2 (45:57):
Well, listen, I just want to tell everybody and make
sure you go out in west this. You did a
phenomenal job. I also quote in an article where it
said this is definitely the scariest movie of the year
so far. Wow, could you see yourself doing more horror
after this?
Speaker 4 (46:12):
Yeah, you know, I just want.
Speaker 17 (46:13):
To work with great people first. I actually don't care
the genre. I'm like, I just want to work with
people that I think could. I didn't grow up on horror,
maybe because I'm a Pastes door so like scared p
I was like, listen, my mom was funny about Sabrina
rich Let alone.
Speaker 2 (46:25):
And you saying gospel right, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 7 (48:04):
Back when I was about twenty years old and I
had my daughter, my daughter, her mom kept her for
me for six months, just out of spite. There's no
real reason behind it. I ended up having to go
to court and then her I forget who it was,
but her attorney was like messing up a lot in court,
and so I ended up getting like immediate rights to
(48:26):
my daughter. I forget, like, but man, she had a
restraining order against me. I wasn't allowed to go to
babysitters like I would drive by the babysitter's house just
to see my kid playing outside. And just to drive
by and see your kid knowing you can't slop and
do nothing was like, man, that that messed me up
for a while

I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
