All right, well let's get the show started. Man, you're

(01:34):

Speaker 5 (01:39):
Turn your lights on, y'all, spreading love to those who
are doing greatness.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Shine. It's time to shine a light on them.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
It's way up at Angela.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Yee.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I'm here with Jasmine Brains on my own brand, about
to shine a light.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
You sent us this story, Jasmine, I did, And this
is a Henry Darby. He was the principal of North
Charleston High School in South Carolina. This story broke in
early twenty twenty one. He actually took on overnight shifts
at Walmart.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
He was stuck in the shells several nights a week.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
He wanted to help students who are facing homelessness, hunger,
and other crises. He did not ask people for donations.
He donated every paycheck directly to families in need, paying
for rent, utilities, food, and even college tuition.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
I love that. That's amazing.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
That's wild. Yeah, you know, I just feel like, imagine
having to have a full day job and also doing
things like this overnight. That's how much he cared. Yeah,
that's the type of principles we need. But I also
feel like you should never have had to do that.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Never.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
But when the story did break, it did spread rapidly online.
Walmart surprised him live on the Today Show. They gave
him a fifty thousand dollars check for school, and then
there was a gofunme that launched right after. There was
a twenty thousand dollars goal on that. It ended up
raising over two hundred and forty five thousand dollars, and
people also stepped up with scholarships and recurring supports. Amazing.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
I love these stories.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
I love a good story. Somebody with a good heart
that wasn't even trying to go viral. Shout out to you,
Henry Darby. All right, now to you, who do you
want to shine a light on?
Speaker 6 (03:14):
I just want to shine a light on my ex.
We recently splito usually, but I just wanted to know
that she's doing a great job. She's been chasing her
careers and really going to school, started doing the school things,
started to get a real estate license. Yeah, really proud
of her for that.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
So wait, this is your ex? Why did you guys
break up?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Then it's a lot, but you still love her.
Speaker 6 (03:39):
I love her very much and I know she loves me.
But just life happens.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
All right, Well, best of luck too. Do you want
to get back together with her?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (03:47):
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Okay, Well I love that you're proud of her, and
I hope it does work out for the best.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
All right, take care.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
That was shine a light eight hundred and two ninety
fifty one fifty. If you couldn't get through, you could
leave a message in China. Light that way and when
we come back, we have your Yet, and it's looking
like Diddy may have to spend more time behind bars.
His release date has gotten pushed back. We'll give you
some details.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
It's way up the rooms from industry shade to.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
All the gossips out sending Angelus is feeling.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
That yet baby's way up at Angela yee. And who
better to be here today than Jasmine Brand.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Yeah, it's not just brand on my own brand.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Does y'all know we look to the Jasmine brand all
the time for all of the updates on everything. All right, Well,
the word on the street is now that Diddy is
going to spend some more time behind bars. His release
date has now been pushed back, so they've updated his
release date to June fourth, twenty twenty eight. It was
originally May eighth, twenty twenty eighth. And that's after reports
(04:48):
that he violated prison rules. You know, he was convicted
of to counter transportation to engage in prostitution. And it's
not clear so we can't say that it's because of
these by but we do know that it has been
pushed back. They said he was allegedly caught drinking homemade alcohol,
a mix of Fanta soda, sugar and apples that were
(05:09):
left to ferment for two weeks.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
I definitely would be drinking in jail. If I could,
I would sneaking if.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
He was like, I don't know, you couldn't do that.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I could have fermented apples and sirakis grapes, right, fermented grapes. Sure,
grape based vodka.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
Sure.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
All right, Well, they considered moving him to a new unit,
but ultimately they let him stay put. Now, his spokesperson
said that it's not true and that he was not
drinking alcohol, but other people are saying it is. And
then most recently, allegedly he violated another rule.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
He made a three way call from prison.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
And they don't allow inmates to add multiple people on
a call, so he was at risk of losing phone privileges.
But they said he did not break any prison policies.
He's in the drug treatment program. He's working in the
Chapel library. They said that, by the way, that's a
very coveted job, working in the Chapel library. Yeah, this
Taple Library. Okay, so we shall see. I know he's
still working on getting that presidential partner.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Oh yeah, cause he might not even be there then.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
So all right, Tracy Ellis Ross is talking about how
she was not able to self fund her beauty brand pattern.
So she ended up on boarding business partners in order
to get that capital. She was on an episode of
Aspire and here's what she said. I found business partners,
and may oh.
Speaker 8 (06:23):
I thought that you went out and you rice that
you used your own money.
Speaker 9 (06:27):
No, and I purposely did not. I will also tell
you I'm a black actress in Hollywood. I did not
have that money to use that decision, not at all.
I am majority owner of the company Differences. I brought
this fully fledged idea to my business partners, and when
I brought it to them, I already had retail partners.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
I would love not to have use my own money
for for my businesses or.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Business I mean, you know, I would say this after
talking to a lot of founders. There's a lot of
pros and cons either way, okay, And one thing I
will say, I know people that.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Work on her brand.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Everybody says she's very hands on, great and everything and
like all of the products, she is super involved, which
I think is important because your name is on it
and she's a majority owner.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
But one thing I will.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Say about, you know, raising your own money and you
versus raising money versus using your own money, And this
is something that we've seen happen with other people's businesses
where they end up raising money like Pinky will tell
you about it with Slutty Vegan, how you end up
potentially losing your company because of that.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Right, So, I'm sure she's worked out.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Her deal a different way, but it is something that
people have to keep in consideration, like the slow growth
of owning it using your own funds and then eventually
when you want to sell, like my Yeo Organics did,
she had full ownership.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
To be able to do that.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
So a lot of times when you have people invested,
you have to go to them to make decisions and
it's not easy. All right, when we come back about
last night, we'll discuss what we did last night.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
What was I doing last night? Because it was so
long ago.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
I'm just living day to day, y'all.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
It's way up night, So about last night, Yes, I
went down.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Yeah, it's way up at Angela yee, And it is
time for about last night. Jasmine, you hit me up
last night and you actually got a massage.
Speaker 10 (08:11):
Has an amazing massages, So thank you so much for
the recommendation.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Yeah, so shout out to my guy Shalik. Okay, and
he's amazing. He comes to your house, he brings the table.
All of that is a heated table.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Oh that is that heaated table is amazing.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
And I do want to say I feel like massages
is definitely something like when I tell you my back
you tore up. It is something and Dan, you've had
to get all kinds of like physical therapy. Yeah, physical therapy.
You don't want to say massages, but yeah, but I
do want to say, because it's.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Not like it is a luxury.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
It is, but it is also sometimes like a necessity.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
My shoulders were killing me, Like there.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Are certain times and I'm like I can't even be
comfortably go to sleep because my back hurts. I'm like
uncomfortable moving around because I sit up all there. So
it does help me a lot, and I wish I
could do it more. But anyway, I thought about this
conversation because then you also asked me, does he also
do massages for men?
Speaker 10 (09:05):
Right?
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:06):
And I said, yes he does because he does a
lot of athletes. Right, he can do physical therapy, like
he's licensed and all of that. But it is a
thing where guys a lot of times don't want to
let another man give them a massage, which is interesting
to me, and.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Like when we go do couples massages, they're always like,
do you want a man or a woman? And usually
I'm like either one for me, but he's gonna he
needs a woman. Like you have to request what it
is because they know that Sometimes you get in that
room and I don't know what it is. That makes
it such a big deal because to me, amazing massage
is an amazing massage.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Because I don't I don't care for some man or woman.
Speaker 10 (09:42):
And also, like you said before, like if it's sports related,
like athletes get massages or physical therapy from men all
the time.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Now, Dan, you've had some back issues, right, but yours
you call it physical therapy.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
It was physical.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Yes, yeah okay, and you had a man, yes, okay?
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Did it like did you.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Think the very first time?
Speaker 11 (10:04):
Like I was on my head about it and I
was like I couldn't get comfortable. I couldn't.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
But then eventually I was like, this is like amazing,
the greatest.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Yeah you got past it.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Well, it's interesting because I was in Atlanta doing the
Ball of Alert podcast. Shout out to it. Ferrari Simmons
okay for this conversation and BT, but he was had
got a foot massage from a man, okay now his
woman He said that he normally used it wasn't there
so a man did it, and they were they were
kind of like making fun of him over that.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I'm gonna have him call in.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
But I want to know from everybody listening, what are
your thoughts You know a man on man massage.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
That I shouldn't say it like that, man on man massages?
What are your thoughts about it?
Speaker 8 (10:43):
Right?
Speaker 10 (10:43):
Is?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Have you ever gotten a massage to a man or
would you not do that? I just want to hear
your opinion. I'm trying to understand why it's such a
big deal. Eight hundred two nine to two fifty one fifty.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Call us up.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
That's eight hundred two nine to two fifty one fifty.
We're talking about for men? What is the problem with
getting a massage? I'm another man? Or is there an issue?
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Call us up?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Eight hundred two nine fifty one fifty. Its way up
and no, beg we about to do this.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
One of the most to train this women at radio audio.
We're talking about Angela here. You're way up with Angela.
Ye please believe that.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
His way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
I'm here with Jasmine Brandy and we're talking about men
on men massages.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Why you said it?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
I can't say like this. If you're a man getting
a massage, Dan's done it. My guy Ferrari in Atlanta,
He's done it. What's up for Errari?
Speaker 7 (11:29):
What up?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
It's me and Jasmine brand We were talking about.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
You because when I was with you in BT doing
the Baller Alert podcast, we had a discussion about you
getting a foot massage from a man.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
So cool.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
It was fine, right, And that's what we're trying to
promote here because for some reason people think that it
should only be if you're a guy that a woman
is the person that's supposed to give you a massage.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
But you didn't feel weird about it.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I didn't feel weird about it.
Speaker 12 (11:55):
I grew up running track, so I had male trainers
of female trainer.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
So you know we would have to get stretched and
stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
A right problem.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Now if it was a full body massage, I'm a
need a woman.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
What's the difference, I said.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Because of full body massage, you know they gonna touch
your chest and.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Be rubbing all on you.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
I would rather that to be some softer hands, not
a strong hand.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Okay, so you want a soft massage.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Yes, that's what he's saying. I got it.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
That doesn't sound very I need a massage an injury.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I'm cool. It could be a man or.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
A girl, but I'm a body.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
All right.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Well, Ferrari, thank you for calling. And they asked you,
did you close your eyes?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
No?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
I did not.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Thank you for ride.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
I would get you.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I wa get you.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Bye bye.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
All right, Well, we're asking you how do you feel
about men giving massages to other men? For some reason,
there's this whole stigma around it. We want to know
what you think. Eight hundred two nine two fifty one
fifty what's your experience?
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Call us up, He'll be up again.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
This is way up with Angelae.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Yeah, it's way I put angela. Ye, I'm here with
Jazmine brands.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
I'm not just a brand. I'm my own brand.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
And you look so refreshed after your massage last night.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Yes, it was an amazing massage.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Shout out to my guy shlik Aka Guest of Honor
on social media. It's O week guest of Honor. He
does amazing massages. But you were asking does he do men?
And I was saying yes. But there's times that people
have been like, no, I don't want a man to
give me a massage, interesting, which I find to be
very strange. And I had a conversation with my guy
(13:34):
for RARI in Atlanta and he had gotten a foot
massage from a man once because his lady wasn't available.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Yes, the woman he usually, but.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
He said he wouldn't do a full body.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
I mean, it's just so many different people weighing in
on this, Brian, what are your thoughts and experiences on
getting massages from men.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
I went to the massage place once with my wife.
Speaker 12 (13:53):
It was in the mall in Columble with South Carolina,
and whenever I.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Started the massage, all requested the woman do it.
Speaker 12 (13:59):
And she started and I'm the fall asleep or actually
and when if I woke up, the man.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Was massage in my back.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Did he do good?
Speaker 3 (14:10):
I mean, yeah, it was a good massage still, but
I got miss some motions.
Speaker 12 (14:13):
About it whenever I was gone to cut you off guard, definitely, definitely.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I do think that's a little weird, though. Why did
you swap out?
Speaker 11 (14:23):
All?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Right?
Speaker 12 (14:23):
Thank you all right, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
It was nice talking to you, you.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Too, JJ.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Hey, was going wrong?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Okay? How you doing?
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Me?
Speaker 2 (14:32):
And Jasmine? One of the massages? Is it okay for it?
Would you be okay with the man giving you a massage?
Speaker 12 (14:38):
And I don't think it's a problem because I just
got from a bad call wreck last year and actually
one of the people who was making sure my back
and everything was good was one of the people was
a male.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Okay, cool.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
See.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
I like that we're getting rid of this stigma that
people have man to wait.
Speaker 12 (14:54):
Pause and no Diddy, and you know, I miss way
too much and it's like, why we got to say
that for and do all.
Speaker 6 (14:59):
Of extra if we already know what's up with us.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
You know, I appreciate that. Thank you for calling.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I'll be listening.
Speaker 12 (15:07):
I'll say I've been falling you.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
Like then when you're going to breakfast club.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
We used to always have y'all own the radio and everything.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I'm alway in Kentucky. It's both that you win and did.
Speaker 12 (15:18):
Your own thing, like I will see you every day.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I thank you. I love that. Thank you so much. Yeah, yep, yeah, yep,
I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Hey, Chris, Hello, how are you So you're a massage therapist?
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Right?
Speaker 3 (15:31):
What have you experienced when it comes to like men
not wanting to get a massage or like, what has
your experience been Like?
Speaker 7 (15:38):
I work in both like a physical therapy setting like
the doctor setting, an orthopedic setting, and I also working
I've worked in a spa setting. But what I've experienced was, Yes,
I've experienced men doing that, but it's mostly lack men.
Where have I experienced that from? They have some type
of phobia with that. I think it's a lot from
(15:58):
not being exposed to this healthy healing, you know, when
it comes to taking care of our bodies and things
like that. Some of them maybe have to check themselves
in that manhood, I think, But a lot of it's
from mis education and not being exposed to it. Do
you understand what I'm saying? Okay, we kind of sexualize
that that thing that.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I think it is.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
You'll be seeing the videos of the massage therapist like
rubbing you up and doing all like they be putting
out these videos on social media. So what we havn't
especially if you're not used to getting massages, people think
that it's like some sensual.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
It's not it's not a sexual thing at all.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
All right, Well, thank you for Colin. We appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (16:38):
All right, thank you. Have a great day.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
All right, when we come back, we got your yet,
Let's talk about Matt Barnes and this whole extortion thing.
It's a very long winded story, but we'll tell you
about it.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
It's way up.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Oh, she's about to blow the lid of off this,
but let's get it. Oh yeah, angels feeling that.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Yeeze, Come and get the tea.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
It's way up at Angela. Yee I'm here with Jazz,
me and Brian.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Yeah, it's not just I'm my own brand.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Oh man, this Matt Barnes story is crazy. He recently
went live to reveal that he was being extorted for
over sixty thousand dollars by a woman who has been
giving fake stories to the blogs. He said the woman
identified only as Zany and used AI to create fake audio,
videos and text messages that would show him being unfaithful.
(17:21):
He's saying that he did not know her personally. He
also says things spiraled when Tasha kay amplified the story,
spreading the false claims. He is suing her for defamation.
He wants to clear his name. He says that she
caused even more public damage. Now Here is what Matt
Barnes had to say about the situation.
Speaker 11 (17:39):
And while we are on this reality show, we find
out we're pregnant. My ex was a little older, which
was a high risk pregnancy, and I didn't want to
know bos This chick said pay me or I'm going
to release and I'm like, you really don't have but
I started paying this chicks of bread for about a year.
So I just confessed. I told my ex look showed
(18:01):
her that DMS. The conversations proved that I had never
kicked it with the chick. The one thing I will
say is this chick is good AI in.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
My voice, And so I show you the picture of
the woman that he says he's never met but is
doing all this and now he's suing and he's saying
he was being extorted. Tasha k did respond though, okay,
and I mean she basically is still sticking to her
guns about her story and saying, basically she was given
this information. How are you now trying to sue me
(18:30):
for information that you paid to try to keep up
out of the news.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
I believe he was paying for her for a year.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
I can't believe he paid that much money.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Why'd he pay it all? He could have just he
knew it was gonna come out anyway.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Maybe he just well he said, I guess the reason
was that there was this high risk pregnancy. Yeah, he
didn't want to upset her. But I also feel like,
once you start paying people money, who are it never stopped? Yeah,
No one's like, Okay, thank you very much for the money.
I'm going to go away, like yeah, and so it
didn't stop. So he's, I guess, publicly telling this story
just in case.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
She's still she's trying to get more money.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
All right.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Now, Antonio Brown has been released from jail. He posted bond.
He was released and he's in Miami. You can see
when he leaves. He is with his attorney. He had
been in this correctional center in Miami Daye County since
Tuesday evening. He was escorted by planing from another jail
in New Jersey. He went before a judge yesterday. Bomb
was twenty five thousand dollars. He agreed to be placed
(19:28):
on a minimally restrictive house arrest. He also will be
wearing an ankle monitor and staring clear of this alleged victim.
So he still is going through it though. I just
want to say, Okay, he's always in some stuff and
some stuff. He's accused of trying to shoot and kill
a former friend turned arrival at an event. He's denied
being the aggressor. Instead, he said he was simply trying
(19:50):
to protect himself.
Speaker 10 (19:52):
My goodness, some people mess follows them.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
I'll be like, I'm just going to stay home. It's
safer that I'm not going out anymore. All right, Well,
that is your ut 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
we always want to make sure that we keep you informed.
Yesterday was a monumental day. The government shut down is over.
(20:16):
It's a record, yeah, amount of days for this government
shut down and another thing has come to an end
after two centuries. Will tell you what that is. It's
way up the news.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
This in the news that relates to you. These stories
are flying under the radar.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
It's way up with Angela Yee brand, Penny for your thoughts.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
I'm my own brand.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Yes, no more pennies are being made. The last penny
was produced yesterday. Is that crazy?
Speaker 4 (20:44):
We have to save we have to save our pennies.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
The first of all, I feel like they should have
been guy rid of pennies. I'm just saying two hundred
and thirty two years of the penny being in circulation.
That's nearly as long as the US of A has
been a country.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
But yesterday in Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
They minted the final so they actually held the ceremonial
strike to commemorate the end of that. But there's an
estimated three hundred billion pennies in circulation, okay, and those
can still be used. I don't know if they're gonna
be worth more, but they said the cost of producing
the penny is actually three dollars and sixty nine cents
(21:19):
per penny.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
It makes no sense.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Where do you keep your change, like your spare change.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
I have a piggy bank. Okay, I have a huge
piggy bank.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
You do, I do?
Speaker 3 (21:29):
And I have like other little piggybanks, like I have
one in my bedroom. I just think I don't like
change being scattered around, so I have like and I
like decorative piggy banks.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
I'm gonna give me a piggy bank.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Okay, that's a good idea, and give one for your
daughter rating. So that's cute, all right.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Trump has signed that funding bill into law, ending.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
A record long government shut down forty three days. So
things are still backed up though of course, people are
still waiting for their back pay.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Flights are still getting canceled.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
As a matter of fact, today one thousand flights have
been canceled. Workers who haven't received a paycheck in weeks
are still going to wait for back pay. People who
are dealing with getting snap benefits, they're still waiting for
the government to get those funds out the door. Also,
the issue, though, is still going to be with these extensions.
(22:18):
Is there going to be another government shut down in January?
Because they January thirtieth, that's how long the next deadline
is to fund the government.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, So.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
This could be just a band aid.
Speaker 10 (22:33):
That's exactly what I was thinking. This is a band
aid on a bigger problem. At least people are going
to start getting their checks again for temporarily, probably until
this next you know.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
And here's what Trump has to say, because you know,
he wants to take credit.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
I just want to tell you the country has never
been in better shape.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
We went through this short term disaster with the Democrats
because they thought it would be good.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Politically, and it's an honor now to.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
Sign this incredible bill and get our country working again.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Incredible no accountability. All right, Well, that is your under
the radar. We do have Willie and I Kisha Cologne
joining us today. Faith and Fertility is their book. She
went through eight miscarriages and she's gonna talk about how
she was able to get the family she's always always
dreamed of having.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
We got the way it mixed for you at the
top of the hour as well.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
Whether it's relationship for career advice, Angela's dropping facts, so
you should you should know.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
This is as gee, what's up?
Speaker 12 (23:28):
Is me?
Speaker 3 (23:28):
And Jasmine Branford ask ye and Denise is on the
line and she really wants to pursue her dreams, her passions.
She has a two year plan to leave her job,
but how should she go about this?
Speaker 7 (23:40):
Hi, Angela, I love the career that I'm here right now.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
But I've written two books, but I.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Put it on a back burner for my career. But
I want to still be able.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
To get back on track in because every time I hear.
Speaker 6 (23:51):
You you're doing things, I'm like, man, I got to
git it together.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
So you want to really be an author and have
a podcast? Yeah, uh huh, And you've written to books already.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
What did you do with those books.
Speaker 6 (24:02):
There actually being published? Speak?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Oh, that's amazing. First step. Now, what are the books about.
Speaker 12 (24:08):
Getting out of our own way? Living your life?
Speaker 8 (24:10):
Because that's the only way you're really gonna be happy,
living your gifts.
Speaker 11 (24:14):
And your dreams.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
And it's so will the podcast kind of fall in
line with the topics for the book.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
That's the way I'm sitting it up where I'm going
to use the podcast.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
To speak on a chapter each week or each month.
Speaker 10 (24:25):
You can pre record, get a bunch of episodes of
your podcast, and que come up with the plan. Maybe
first quarter of next year you can start releasing those
episodes if.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
You have it ready.
Speaker 10 (24:36):
Now cool, But I feel like you can do some
planning and you can execute everything you want to do
next year.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
You can do a little bit each quarter or just
depend on what your schedule is.
Speaker 11 (24:44):
Like.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
You don't have to feel pressureself because.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
You have planning or not planning is important, right, You
don't want to just throw it out without a plan.
You have to figure out, like, Okay, what are some
ways that I can cross promote with other people, other brands,
appearances that I can make, book clubs, if you got
to carrate your own events, or.
Speaker 10 (25:01):
Like a mental health month like that we have different
months throughout the year, if that could correlate with some
of those topics.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
Yeah, with that being said, I'm wondering should I get
a business coach because trying to maneuver my job and
doing that which.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Is very important to me.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
But yeah, instead, I know.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
That in my heart at hearts, I only.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
Have like a two year plan to be at my job.
To be honest, you.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Know what, I was talking to somebody the other day
and she was telling me how much a business coach
actually helped her. The thing is, you need the right one,
right and so I just want to encourage you because
there's a lot of people out there that brand themselves
in that way. So make sure you get referrals, make
sure you do your due diligence when you're looking up
online to see what other people have to say about them.
(25:41):
Reach out to somebody who was a client of theirs
to get their opinion, Like, Hey, I just wanted to
ask you what it was like when you had Jasmine
as your business coach. I just want to see what
your opinion is because I'm thinking about hiring her.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
You know, we have so many resources online. There's chat,
there's AI help.
Speaker 10 (25:57):
I mean, they really can help you execute a lot
of stuff too.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
In addition use all your resources. But I want to
say one more thing, just make sure you do it
because sometimes we wait so long, we talk ourselves out
of things. We try to make it, like make a
plan and stick to it and prioritize it. It's important
to you. You have this two year plan at your job.
Go hard and make sure that you understand. Also a
(26:21):
lot of times things don't happen overnight, and it may
not even happen as fast as you need it to.
But as long as you're in action and doing it,
I think there's so much value in that.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
And you're going to learn so much along the.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Way because there are going to be things that didn't
work how you thought they would, things that have worked
way better than you would have anticipated. Ways that you're
going to kind of structure your plan. It's going to change.
You're going to adapt to different changing times. So just
be flexible when it comes to what your plan is.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
This is amazing.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
This is the most amazing I advice that I have got.
Speaker 10 (26:53):
Well, last say, you don't have to tell anybody. You
don't have to tell everybody your plans. You can just
quietly work and you can just execute time.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
This was amazing.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
All right, thank you for calling. Good luck by Well

of the story, talking about wanting to have a family,
wanting to have children.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Faith and fertility is the name of the book.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
And you had eight miscarriages and went through so much
with your body to even get pregnant each time. And
I'm gonna tell you, when I was reading this book,
every time, I was like, Okay, this is it, you know,
and then you like had the lower back pain. And
then that's when you knew, and even right before you
were getting married you was going to be my guy.
A lot of women might have given up early on
(28:32):
because at first, you guys didn't have a defined relationship. No,
we were not married, even boyfriend and girlfriend. Early on,
it wasn't even that.
Speaker 8 (28:39):
Yeah, because I met Willie fresh off a Super Bowl
child and he was out of there.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
He was in that listen, honey, he was in those streets.
Speaker 8 (28:47):
And you know, I was living in Atlanta at the time,
and he was in Pittsburgh and we met twenty eleven
in the club Child. We read Compound for y'all familiar
with Atlanta out there.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I've been to Compound. Yeah, and it's a good time.
White parties, you know, yeah parties and Pound.

We met, we you know, started dating for a little bit.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Right now, we have Willie cologne and Akesha cologne here
with us. Their buck faith and fertility is out right now.
And that like you initiated it too.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Not intentionally. Let me tell you initiated it.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
That's a intentionally unintentionally, God's clear late.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Right, holds up.
Speaker 8 (29:24):
Look, I saw him.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
I'm sitting here.
Speaker 8 (29:26):
I turned around. I see this guy with locks from
when I stick my hand out, he pulls it back
in and starts flirting, girl, all up in my face,
talking about your pretty eyes and all this. And he
and I, like I said, we met in Atlanta. We
dated a little while, and then we stopped talking because
Willy was Willy was for the Street.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Child, and I was just saying.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
He had, you know, and I was ready.
Speaker 8 (29:49):
So I was ready to you know, be married because
I realized that things that I had was going in
my twenties and thirties. I was changing the trajectory of
what I always wanted, which was ultimately a family, a husband,
wife and chill. So when I got to that point
and I met him, it was crazy because I had
been praying, like God, the next man I meet, I
wanted to be my husband. And so I ended up
meeting Willie.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
What are you trying to say here?
Speaker 1 (30:11):
What say?
Speaker 6 (30:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Because you like, well, my wife tries to say it
like I.
Speaker 10 (30:16):
Was just.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
That her mother come on read and I.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Thought it was so.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
I thought it was so interesting that you even wrote
honestly about this part.
Speaker 8 (30:29):
Can I tell you this?
Speaker 2 (30:30):
I found that.
Speaker 8 (30:32):
Out when you read the book when we got our manuscript,
and I in his defense, when we were getting ready
to write this book, he said, so we're doing this
because at first I was hesitanting about doing it because yeah,
I was ring, I'm like, am are we ready to share.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
This that we do?
Speaker 8 (30:47):
And he was the one who said to me, he said, listen,
this is your testimony. This is our testimony, and it's
going to help so many people. So when he got
ready to do that chapter, he said, you want everything?
Speaker 2 (30:56):
I said, I want it all?
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Okay, Willie, all right, Willie Colonne and i he Shoa
Cologne are here today talking about their book Faith and Fertility,
the things that they went through to get the family
that they've always dreamed of. Imagine going through multiple miscarriages
but finally having your miracle babies.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
It's way up.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
I've been way up with Angela ye more. Now what's up?
Speaker 3 (31:18):
His way up with Angela Yee. And we have Willie
Colonne and a Keisha Cologonne here with us. They are
the Coloons and their book Faith and Fertility is out
right now. They went through so much as a couple
to finally have a baby, And thank you for sharing
this because this had not been an easy journey for you.
You talk about all the different things that you tried
because you really wanted to have a baby, both of you.
(31:40):
I mean you literally were doing acupuncture everything.
Speaker 8 (31:44):
We spent so much money, he spent I had already
gone through because we weren't married at the time we started.
I dealt with all these insecurities of I'm older than
he is. He could have had a baby with anybody,
all these you know, young tendos out here, and now
you're having to pay for me to have a baby.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
For you and my old ass can't get it done.
Speaker 8 (32:04):
And then I started going like, well, maybe I'm not
getting pregnant because we're not married, and you said.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
You had gone through and she's with other women being
pregnant and abortions.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
And I felt like this is to get back.
Speaker 12 (32:14):
I think, listen, you've been around us athletes for a
long time. We can be extremely reckless. When I said, okay,
I'm having a baby with this woman, she will be
the lead in my home.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
We did everything to try to have this.
Speaker 12 (32:26):
We set her from the multiple doctors and they were like, no,
this ain't happening for y'all. So everything she was going through,
I felt like God was punishing me for my lack
of responsibility, the decisions I made, some of the abortions
I had. I felt like God was like, this is
your punishment. And I had to tell her that, like ibe,
I think this is cousin me.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Wow.
Speaker 12 (32:44):
And we had to bring that to the altar and
I was like, man, I'm you know, I'm sorry for
the young wild really that I was so proud of.
And it came to the point because we were trying
so hard to have a child, I was ashamed of him. Right,
and so I had to kind of fight through all that.
It was like all those skeletons that I had packed away.
We're now sitting around in my living room, like, no,
we ain't going nowhere, Jack.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Right now, we have Willie Colonne and Akeisha Cologne here
with us. Their book Faith and Fertility is out right now, Willie,
can you tell me this story when you were at
training camp for the New York Jets and at Kesha
was ovulating and drove three and a half hours just
so that you guys could try to have a baby.
Speaker 12 (33:19):
We were trying so hard. Like I was in training
camp right and my wife drove up to Courtland. This
is when my time with to Ja got.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
The smiley face yea, and she's like.
Speaker 12 (33:28):
I'm coming up there and I got a hotel. I
got a hotel room and we need to do this
right now. And I'm like, I got an ice pack here,
ice pack here. My back's hurt.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
And had to sneak out because they cannot leave.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (33:41):
I couldn't leave the training camp, so I had to
go to one of my security I was like, listen,
my wife is a loveyding and.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
So I gotta go.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Even married crazy.
Speaker 11 (33:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
So I was like, I gotta go.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
I gotta go do what I gotta do and be
right back. And he was just like, well, you know, Willie.
You know if I was like, listen, you just get
out the way.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
And so don't want to deal with her and Angela.
Speaker 12 (33:59):
So I pulled up. I pull up to the hotel.
The room opens up, She's laying there. I don't know,
one dude, that's morning after practice. I I was just
wanting a cold tub and a drink and I'm on
wrapping myself, trying to get myself together and she's like.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Come on on the clock and.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
I had to drive back.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Yeah, so a lot of pressure to perform.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
It was listen, we went through something.
Speaker 12 (34:22):
We went through it, man, but we did it together,
and we did it with our faith, and we did
it with one gold of mind. We going to have
this child.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
What I love is that there is a happy ending.
So I knew that was coming, thank goodness. And while
I'm reading it every single time, I'm like, this is
when it worked.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
And I conceived naturally two times.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
Two times.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
But I do want to say such a powerful book,
Thank you so much, Faith Infertility.
Speaker 2 (34:45):

Speaker 6 (35:06):
Yee?
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Yeah, it's Way Up with Angela.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Yee.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
What a good time, Jasmine. It's a nice throw back
to have you here.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
Back to day and not calling me a throwback.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Well, I'm saying you haven't been here.
Speaker 4 (35:17):
I'll start coming back.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Okay, you didn't even know I had plants in my house.
You know how long I do I.
Speaker 7 (35:21):
Have it in my house.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
It's been a month. Relaxed, all right?
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Well, anyway, I want to also think everybody who called
in today. We were talking about massages. For some reason,
certain men have an issue getting a massage by another man.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
Oh Man, oh man is so converse.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
So I know a lot of people called in.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Also, I want to thank Willie Colonne and a Keisha
Cologne for joining us. Faith and Fertility is their book
that's out now and what a transparent conversation. When you
read their book, there's one part where he talks about
before they were officially boyfriend and girlfriend, and this is
in the beginning of the book. Her mother passed away
and his mother called to let him know he had
(35:59):
a another woman that was in the shower at his place,
and he was like, I had to wait.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
For her to get out. Oh, I didn't even know
about it until.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
This book, but that was before they were official. Oh gosh,
how honest. I've also shout out to my guy, Derek B. Johnson,
the owner of Home of Chicken and Waffles in Oakland.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
Not bad for a dozen.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Yeah, we got a dozen patties for you guys. But

Yep.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
All right, well let's get the show started. Man, you're

for him as well. So they'll talk about their journey
to becoming parents and even getting married, all of that.
All right, Well, let's start the show with some love
and positivity. Let's shine a light eight hundred two ninety
two fifty one to fifty. Call us up, let us
(01:34):
know who you want to shine a light on its
way up.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Turn your lights on, y'all, spreading love to those who
are doing greatness.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Shine. It's time to shine a light on them.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
It's way up at Angela.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Yee.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I'm here with Jasmine Brains on my own brand, about
to shine a light.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
You sent us this story, Jasmine, I did, And this
is a Henry Darby. He was the principal of North
Charleston High School in South Carolina. This story broke in
early twenty twenty one. He actually took on overnight shifts
at Walmart.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
He was stuck in the shells several nights a week.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
He wanted to help students who are facing homelessness, hunger,
and other crises. He did not ask people for donations.
He donated every paycheck directly to families in need, paying
for rent, utilities, food, and even college tuition.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
I love that. That's amazing.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
That's wild. Yeah, you know, I just feel like, imagine
having to have a full day job and also doing
things like this overnight. That's how much he cared. Yeah,
that's the type of principles we need. But I also
feel like you should never have had to do that.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Never.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
But when the story did break, it did spread rapidly online.
Walmart surprised him live on the Today Show. They gave
him a fifty thousand dollars check for school, and then
there was a gofunme that launched right after. There was
a twenty thousand dollars goal on that. It ended up
raising over two hundred and forty five thousand dollars, and
people also stepped up with scholarships and recurring supports. Amazing.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
I love these stories.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
I love a good story. Somebody with a good heart
that wasn't even trying to go viral. Shout out to you,
Henry Darby. All right, now to you, who do you
want to shine a light on?
Speaker 6 (03:14):
I just want to shine a light on my ex.
We recently splito usually, but I just wanted to know
that she's doing a great job. She's been chasing her
careers and really going to school, started doing the school things,
started to get a real estate license. Yeah, really proud
of her for that.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
So wait, this is your ex? Why did you guys
break up?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Then it's a lot, but you still love her.
Speaker 6 (03:39):
I love her very much and I know she loves me.
But just life happens.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
All right, Well, best of luck too. Do you want
to get back together with her?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (03:47):
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Okay, Well I love that you're proud of her, and
I hope it does work out for the best.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
All right, take care.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
That was shine a light eight hundred and two ninety
fifty one fifty. If you couldn't get through, you could
leave a message in China. Light that way and when
we come back, we have your Yet, and it's looking
like Diddy may have to spend more time behind bars.
His release date has gotten pushed back. We'll give you
some details.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
It's way up the rooms from industry shade to.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
All the gossips out sending Angelus is feeling.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
That yet baby's way up at Angela yee. And who
better to be here today than Jasmine Brand.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Yeah, it's not just brand on my own brand.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Does y'all know we look to the Jasmine brand all
the time for all of the updates on everything. All right, Well,
the word on the street is now that Diddy is
going to spend some more time behind bars. His release
date has now been pushed back, so they've updated his
release date to June fourth, twenty twenty eight. It was
originally May eighth, twenty twenty eighth. And that's after reports
(04:48):
that he violated prison rules. You know, he was convicted
of to counter transportation to engage in prostitution. And it's
not clear so we can't say that it's because of
these by but we do know that it has been
pushed back. They said he was allegedly caught drinking homemade alcohol,
a mix of Fanta soda, sugar and apples that were
(05:09):
left to ferment for two weeks.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
I definitely would be drinking in jail. If I could,
I would sneaking if.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
He was like, I don't know, you couldn't do that.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I could have fermented apples and sirakis grapes, right, fermented grapes. Sure,
grape based vodka.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
Sure.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
All right, Well, they considered moving him to a new unit,
but ultimately they let him stay put. Now, his spokesperson
said that it's not true and that he was not
drinking alcohol, but other people are saying it is. And
then most recently, allegedly he violated another rule.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
He made a three way call from prison.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
And they don't allow inmates to add multiple people on
a call, so he was at risk of losing phone privileges.
But they said he did not break any prison policies.
He's in the drug treatment program. He's working in the
Chapel library. They said that, by the way, that's a
very coveted job, working in the Chapel library. Yeah, this
Taple Library. Okay, so we shall see. I know he's
still working on getting that presidential partner.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Oh yeah, cause he might not even be there then.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
So all right, Tracy Ellis Ross is talking about how
she was not able to self fund her beauty brand pattern.
So she ended up on boarding business partners in order
to get that capital. She was on an episode of
Aspire and here's what she said. I found business partners,
and may oh.
Speaker 8 (06:23):
I thought that you went out and you rice that
you used your own money.
Speaker 9 (06:27):
No, and I purposely did not. I will also tell
you I'm a black actress in Hollywood. I did not
have that money to use that decision, not at all.
I am majority owner of the company Differences. I brought
this fully fledged idea to my business partners, and when
I brought it to them, I already had retail partners.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
I would love not to have use my own money
for for my businesses or.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Business I mean, you know, I would say this after
talking to a lot of founders. There's a lot of
pros and cons either way, okay, And one thing I
will say, I know people that.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Work on her brand.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Everybody says she's very hands on, great and everything and
like all of the products, she is super involved, which
I think is important because your name is on it
and she's a majority owner.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
But one thing I will.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Say about, you know, raising your own money and you
versus raising money versus using your own money, And this
is something that we've seen happen with other people's businesses
where they end up raising money like Pinky will tell
you about it with Slutty Vegan, how you end up
potentially losing your company because of that.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Right, So, I'm sure she's worked out.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Her deal a different way, but it is something that
people have to keep in consideration, like the slow growth
of owning it using your own funds and then eventually
when you want to sell, like my Yeo Organics did,
she had full ownership.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
To be able to do that.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
So a lot of times when you have people invested,
you have to go to them to make decisions and
it's not easy. All right, when we come back about
last night, we'll discuss what we did last night.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
What was I doing last night? Because it was so
long ago.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
I'm just living day to day, y'all.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
It's way up night, So about last night, Yes, I
went down.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Yeah, it's way up at Angela yee, And it is
time for about last night. Jasmine, you hit me up
last night and you actually got a massage.
Speaker 10 (08:11):
Has an amazing massages, So thank you so much for
the recommendation.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Yeah, so shout out to my guy Shalik. Okay, and
he's amazing. He comes to your house, he brings the table.
All of that is a heated table.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Oh that is that heaated table is amazing.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
And I do want to say I feel like massages
is definitely something like when I tell you my back
you tore up. It is something and Dan, you've had
to get all kinds of like physical therapy. Yeah, physical therapy.
You don't want to say massages, but yeah, but I
do want to say, because it's.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Not like it is a luxury.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
It is, but it is also sometimes like a necessity.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
My shoulders were killing me, Like there.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Are certain times and I'm like I can't even be
comfortably go to sleep because my back hurts. I'm like
uncomfortable moving around because I sit up all there. So
it does help me a lot, and I wish I
could do it more. But anyway, I thought about this
conversation because then you also asked me, does he also
do massages for men?
Speaker 10 (09:05):
Right?
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:06):
And I said, yes he does because he does a
lot of athletes. Right, he can do physical therapy, like
he's licensed and all of that. But it is a
thing where guys a lot of times don't want to
let another man give them a massage, which is interesting
to me, and.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Like when we go do couples massages, they're always like,
do you want a man or a woman? And usually
I'm like either one for me, but he's gonna he
needs a woman. Like you have to request what it
is because they know that Sometimes you get in that
room and I don't know what it is. That makes
it such a big deal because to me, amazing massage
is an amazing massage.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Because I don't I don't care for some man or woman.
Speaker 10 (09:42):
And also, like you said before, like if it's sports related,
like athletes get massages or physical therapy from men all
the time.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Now, Dan, you've had some back issues, right, but yours
you call it physical therapy.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
It was physical.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Yes, yeah okay, and you had a man, yes, okay?
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Did it like did you.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Think the very first time?
Speaker 11 (10:04):
Like I was on my head about it and I
was like I couldn't get comfortable. I couldn't.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
But then eventually I was like, this is like amazing,
the greatest.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Yeah you got past it.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Well, it's interesting because I was in Atlanta doing the
Ball of Alert podcast. Shout out to it. Ferrari Simmons
okay for this conversation and BT, but he was had
got a foot massage from a man, okay now his
woman He said that he normally used it wasn't there
so a man did it, and they were they were
kind of like making fun of him over that.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I'm gonna have him call in.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
But I want to know from everybody listening, what are
your thoughts You know a man on man massage.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
That I shouldn't say it like that, man on man massages?
What are your thoughts about it?
Speaker 8 (10:43):
Right?
Speaker 10 (10:43):
Is?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Have you ever gotten a massage to a man or
would you not do that? I just want to hear
your opinion. I'm trying to understand why it's such a
big deal. Eight hundred two nine to two fifty one fifty.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Call us up.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
That's eight hundred two nine to two fifty one fifty.
We're talking about for men? What is the problem with
getting a massage? I'm another man? Or is there an issue?
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Call us up?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Eight hundred two nine fifty one fifty. Its way up
and no, beg we about to do this.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
One of the most to train this women at radio audio.
We're talking about Angela here. You're way up with Angela.
Ye please believe that.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
His way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
I'm here with Jasmine Brandy and we're talking about men
on men massages.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Why you said it?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
I can't say like this. If you're a man getting
a massage, Dan's done it. My guy Ferrari in Atlanta,
He's done it. What's up for Errari?
Speaker 7 (11:29):
What up?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
It's me and Jasmine brand We were talking about.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
You because when I was with you in BT doing
the Baller Alert podcast, we had a discussion about you
getting a foot massage from a man.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
So cool.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
It was fine, right, And that's what we're trying to
promote here because for some reason people think that it
should only be if you're a guy that a woman
is the person that's supposed to give you a massage.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
But you didn't feel weird about it.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I didn't feel weird about it.
Speaker 12 (11:55):
I grew up running track, so I had male trainers
of female trainer.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
So you know we would have to get stretched and
stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
A right problem.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Now if it was a full body massage, I'm a
need a woman.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
What's the difference, I said.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Because of full body massage, you know they gonna touch
your chest and.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Be rubbing all on you.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
I would rather that to be some softer hands, not
a strong hand.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Okay, so you want a soft massage.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Yes, that's what he's saying. I got it.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
That doesn't sound very I need a massage an injury.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I'm cool. It could be a man or.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
A girl, but I'm a body.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
All right.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Well, Ferrari, thank you for calling. And they asked you,
did you close your eyes?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
No?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
I did not.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Thank you for ride.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
I would get you.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I wa get you.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Bye bye.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
All right, Well, we're asking you how do you feel
about men giving massages to other men? For some reason,
there's this whole stigma around it. We want to know
what you think. Eight hundred two nine two fifty one
fifty what's your experience?
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Call us up, He'll be up again.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
This is way up with Angelae.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Yeah, it's way I put angela. Ye, I'm here with
Jazmine brands.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
I'm not just a brand. I'm my own brand.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
And you look so refreshed after your massage last night.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Yes, it was an amazing massage.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Shout out to my guy shlik Aka Guest of Honor
on social media. It's O week guest of Honor. He
does amazing massages. But you were asking does he do men?
And I was saying yes. But there's times that people
have been like, no, I don't want a man to
give me a massage, interesting, which I find to be
very strange. And I had a conversation with my guy
(13:34):
for RARI in Atlanta and he had gotten a foot
massage from a man once because his lady wasn't available.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Yes, the woman he usually, but.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
He said he wouldn't do a full body.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
I mean, it's just so many different people weighing in
on this, Brian, what are your thoughts and experiences on
getting massages from men.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
I went to the massage place once with my wife.
Speaker 12 (13:53):
It was in the mall in Columble with South Carolina,
and whenever I.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Started the massage, all requested the woman do it.
Speaker 12 (13:59):
And she started and I'm the fall asleep or actually
and when if I woke up, the man.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Was massage in my back.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Did he do good?
Speaker 3 (14:10):
I mean, yeah, it was a good massage still, but
I got miss some motions.
Speaker 12 (14:13):
About it whenever I was gone to cut you off guard, definitely, definitely.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I do think that's a little weird, though. Why did
you swap out?
Speaker 11 (14:23):
All?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Right?
Speaker 12 (14:23):
Thank you all right, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
It was nice talking to you, you.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Too, JJ.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Hey, was going wrong?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Okay? How you doing?
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Me?
Speaker 2 (14:32):
And Jasmine? One of the massages? Is it okay for it?
Would you be okay with the man giving you a massage?
Speaker 12 (14:38):
And I don't think it's a problem because I just
got from a bad call wreck last year and actually
one of the people who was making sure my back
and everything was good was one of the people was
a male.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Okay, cool.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
See.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
I like that we're getting rid of this stigma that
people have man to wait.
Speaker 12 (14:54):
Pause and no Diddy, and you know, I miss way
too much and it's like, why we got to say
that for and do all.
Speaker 6 (14:59):
Of extra if we already know what's up with us.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
You know, I appreciate that. Thank you for calling.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I'll be listening.
Speaker 12 (15:07):
I'll say I've been falling you.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
Like then when you're going to breakfast club.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
We used to always have y'all own the radio and everything.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I'm alway in Kentucky. It's both that you win and did.
Speaker 12 (15:18):
Your own thing, like I will see you every day.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I thank you. I love that. Thank you so much. Yeah, yep, yeah, yep,
I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Hey, Chris, Hello, how are you So you're a massage therapist?
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Right?
Speaker 3 (15:31):
What have you experienced when it comes to like men
not wanting to get a massage or like, what has
your experience been Like?
Speaker 7 (15:38):
I work in both like a physical therapy setting like
the doctor setting, an orthopedic setting, and I also working
I've worked in a spa setting. But what I've experienced was, Yes,
I've experienced men doing that, but it's mostly lack men.
Where have I experienced that from? They have some type
of phobia with that. I think it's a lot from
(15:58):
not being exposed to this healthy healing, you know, when
it comes to taking care of our bodies and things
like that. Some of them maybe have to check themselves
in that manhood, I think, But a lot of it's
from mis education and not being exposed to it. Do
you understand what I'm saying? Okay, we kind of sexualize
that that thing that.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I think it is.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
You'll be seeing the videos of the massage therapist like
rubbing you up and doing all like they be putting
out these videos on social media. So what we havn't
especially if you're not used to getting massages, people think
that it's like some sensual.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
It's not it's not a sexual thing at all.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
All right, Well, thank you for Colin. We appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (16:38):
All right, thank you. Have a great day.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
All right, when we come back, we got your yet,
Let's talk about Matt Barnes and this whole extortion thing.
It's a very long winded story, but we'll tell you
about it.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
It's way up.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Oh, she's about to blow the lid of off this,
but let's get it. Oh yeah, angels feeling that.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Yeeze, Come and get the tea.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
It's way up at Angela. Yee I'm here with Jazz,
me and Brian.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Yeah, it's not just I'm my own brand.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Oh man, this Matt Barnes story is crazy. He recently
went live to reveal that he was being extorted for
over sixty thousand dollars by a woman who has been
giving fake stories to the blogs. He said the woman
identified only as Zany and used AI to create fake audio,
videos and text messages that would show him being unfaithful.
(17:21):
He's saying that he did not know her personally. He
also says things spiraled when Tasha kay amplified the story,
spreading the false claims. He is suing her for defamation.
He wants to clear his name. He says that she
caused even more public damage. Now Here is what Matt
Barnes had to say about the situation.
Speaker 11 (17:39):
And while we are on this reality show, we find
out we're pregnant. My ex was a little older, which
was a high risk pregnancy, and I didn't want to
know bos This chick said pay me or I'm going
to release and I'm like, you really don't have but
I started paying this chicks of bread for about a year.
So I just confessed. I told my ex look showed
(18:01):
her that DMS. The conversations proved that I had never
kicked it with the chick. The one thing I will
say is this chick is good AI in.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
My voice, And so I show you the picture of
the woman that he says he's never met but is
doing all this and now he's suing and he's saying
he was being extorted. Tasha k did respond though, okay,
and I mean she basically is still sticking to her
guns about her story and saying, basically she was given
this information. How are you now trying to sue me
(18:30):
for information that you paid to try to keep up
out of the news.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
I believe he was paying for her for a year.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
I can't believe he paid that much money.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Why'd he pay it all? He could have just he
knew it was gonna come out anyway.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Maybe he just well he said, I guess the reason
was that there was this high risk pregnancy. Yeah, he
didn't want to upset her. But I also feel like,
once you start paying people money, who are it never stopped? Yeah,
No one's like, Okay, thank you very much for the money.
I'm going to go away, like yeah, and so it
didn't stop. So he's, I guess, publicly telling this story
just in case.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
She's still she's trying to get more money.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
All right.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Now, Antonio Brown has been released from jail. He posted bond.
He was released and he's in Miami. You can see
when he leaves. He is with his attorney. He had
been in this correctional center in Miami Daye County since
Tuesday evening. He was escorted by planing from another jail
in New Jersey. He went before a judge yesterday. Bomb
was twenty five thousand dollars. He agreed to be placed
(19:28):
on a minimally restrictive house arrest. He also will be
wearing an ankle monitor and staring clear of this alleged victim.
So he still is going through it though. I just
want to say, Okay, he's always in some stuff and
some stuff. He's accused of trying to shoot and kill
a former friend turned arrival at an event. He's denied
being the aggressor. Instead, he said he was simply trying
(19:50):
to protect himself.
Speaker 10 (19:52):
My goodness, some people mess follows them.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
I'll be like, I'm just going to stay home. It's
safer that I'm not going out anymore. All right, Well,
that is your ut 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
we always want to make sure that we keep you informed.
Yesterday was a monumental day. The government shut down is over.
(20:16):
It's a record, yeah, amount of days for this government
shut down and another thing has come to an end
after two centuries. Will tell you what that is. It's
way up the news.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
This in the news that relates to you. These stories
are flying under the radar.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
It's way up with Angela Yee brand, Penny for your thoughts.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
I'm my own brand.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Yes, no more pennies are being made. The last penny
was produced yesterday. Is that crazy?
Speaker 4 (20:44):
We have to save we have to save our pennies.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
The first of all, I feel like they should have
been guy rid of pennies. I'm just saying two hundred
and thirty two years of the penny being in circulation.
That's nearly as long as the US of A has
been a country.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
But yesterday in Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
They minted the final so they actually held the ceremonial
strike to commemorate the end of that. But there's an
estimated three hundred billion pennies in circulation, okay, and those
can still be used. I don't know if they're gonna
be worth more, but they said the cost of producing
the penny is actually three dollars and sixty nine cents
(21:19):
per penny.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
It makes no sense.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Where do you keep your change, like your spare change.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
I have a piggy bank. Okay, I have a huge
piggy bank.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
You do, I do?
Speaker 3 (21:29):
And I have like other little piggybanks, like I have
one in my bedroom. I just think I don't like
change being scattered around, so I have like and I
like decorative piggy banks.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
I'm gonna give me a piggy bank.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Okay, that's a good idea, and give one for your
daughter rating. So that's cute, all right.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Trump has signed that funding bill into law, ending.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
A record long government shut down forty three days. So
things are still backed up though of course, people are
still waiting for their back pay.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Flights are still getting canceled.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
As a matter of fact, today one thousand flights have
been canceled. Workers who haven't received a paycheck in weeks
are still going to wait for back pay. People who
are dealing with getting snap benefits, they're still waiting for
the government to get those funds out the door. Also,
the issue, though, is still going to be with these extensions.
(22:18):
Is there going to be another government shut down in January?
Because they January thirtieth, that's how long the next deadline
is to fund the government.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, So.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
This could be just a band aid.
Speaker 10 (22:33):
That's exactly what I was thinking. This is a band
aid on a bigger problem. At least people are going
to start getting their checks again for temporarily, probably until
this next you know.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
And here's what Trump has to say, because you know,
he wants to take credit.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
I just want to tell you the country has never
been in better shape.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
We went through this short term disaster with the Democrats
because they thought it would be good.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Politically, and it's an honor now to.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
Sign this incredible bill and get our country working again.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Incredible no accountability. All right, Well, that is your under
the radar. We do have Willie and I Kisha Cologne
joining us today. Faith and Fertility is their book. She
went through eight miscarriages and she's gonna talk about how
she was able to get the family she's always always
dreamed of having.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
We got the way it mixed for you at the
top of the hour as well.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
Whether it's relationship for career advice, Angela's dropping facts, so
you should you should know.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
This is as gee, what's up?
Speaker 12 (23:28):
Is me?
Speaker 3 (23:28):
And Jasmine Branford ask ye and Denise is on the
line and she really wants to pursue her dreams, her passions.
She has a two year plan to leave her job,
but how should she go about this?
Speaker 7 (23:40):
Hi, Angela, I love the career that I'm here right now.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
But I've written two books, but I.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Put it on a back burner for my career. But
I want to still be able.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
To get back on track in because every time I hear.
Speaker 6 (23:51):
You you're doing things, I'm like, man, I got to
git it together.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
So you want to really be an author and have
a podcast? Yeah, uh huh, And you've written to books already.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
What did you do with those books.
Speaker 6 (24:02):
There actually being published? Speak?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Oh, that's amazing. First step. Now, what are the books about.
Speaker 12 (24:08):
Getting out of our own way? Living your life?
Speaker 8 (24:10):
Because that's the only way you're really gonna be happy,
living your gifts.
Speaker 11 (24:14):
And your dreams.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
And it's so will the podcast kind of fall in
line with the topics for the book.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
That's the way I'm sitting it up where I'm going
to use the podcast.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
To speak on a chapter each week or each month.
Speaker 10 (24:25):
You can pre record, get a bunch of episodes of
your podcast, and que come up with the plan. Maybe
first quarter of next year you can start releasing those
episodes if.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
You have it ready.
Speaker 10 (24:36):
Now cool, But I feel like you can do some
planning and you can execute everything you want to do
next year.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
You can do a little bit each quarter or just
depend on what your schedule is.
Speaker 11 (24:44):
Like.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
You don't have to feel pressureself because.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
You have planning or not planning is important, right, You
don't want to just throw it out without a plan.
You have to figure out, like, Okay, what are some
ways that I can cross promote with other people, other brands,
appearances that I can make, book clubs, if you got
to carrate your own events, or.
Speaker 10 (25:01):
Like a mental health month like that we have different
months throughout the year, if that could correlate with some
of those topics.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
Yeah, with that being said, I'm wondering should I get
a business coach because trying to maneuver my job and
doing that which.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Is very important to me.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
But yeah, instead, I know.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
That in my heart at hearts, I only.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
Have like a two year plan to be at my job.
To be honest, you.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Know what, I was talking to somebody the other day
and she was telling me how much a business coach
actually helped her. The thing is, you need the right one,
right and so I just want to encourage you because
there's a lot of people out there that brand themselves
in that way. So make sure you get referrals, make
sure you do your due diligence when you're looking up
online to see what other people have to say about them.
(25:41):
Reach out to somebody who was a client of theirs
to get their opinion, Like, Hey, I just wanted to
ask you what it was like when you had Jasmine
as your business coach. I just want to see what
your opinion is because I'm thinking about hiring her.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
You know, we have so many resources online. There's chat,
there's AI help.
Speaker 10 (25:57):
I mean, they really can help you execute a lot
of stuff too.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
In addition use all your resources. But I want to
say one more thing, just make sure you do it
because sometimes we wait so long, we talk ourselves out
of things. We try to make it, like make a
plan and stick to it and prioritize it. It's important
to you. You have this two year plan at your job.
Go hard and make sure that you understand. Also a
(26:21):
lot of times things don't happen overnight, and it may
not even happen as fast as you need it to.
But as long as you're in action and doing it,
I think there's so much value in that.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
And you're going to learn so much along the.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Way because there are going to be things that didn't
work how you thought they would, things that have worked
way better than you would have anticipated. Ways that you're
going to kind of structure your plan. It's going to change.
You're going to adapt to different changing times. So just
be flexible when it comes to what your plan is.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
This is amazing.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
This is the most amazing I advice that I have got.
Speaker 10 (26:53):
Well, last say, you don't have to tell anybody. You
don't have to tell everybody your plans. You can just
quietly work and you can just execute time.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
This was amazing.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
All right, thank you for calling. Good luck by Well

of the story, talking about wanting to have a family,
wanting to have children.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Faith and fertility is the name of the book.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
And you had eight miscarriages and went through so much
with your body to even get pregnant each time. And
I'm gonna tell you, when I was reading this book,
every time, I was like, Okay, this is it, you know,
and then you like had the lower back pain. And
then that's when you knew, and even right before you
were getting married you was going to be my guy.
A lot of women might have given up early on
(28:32):
because at first, you guys didn't have a defined relationship. No,
we were not married, even boyfriend and girlfriend. Early on,
it wasn't even that.
Speaker 8 (28:39):
Yeah, because I met Willie fresh off a Super Bowl
child and he was out of there.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
He was in that listen, honey, he was in those streets.
Speaker 8 (28:47):
And you know, I was living in Atlanta at the time,
and he was in Pittsburgh and we met twenty eleven
in the club Child. We read Compound for y'all familiar
with Atlanta out there.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I've been to Compound. Yeah, and it's a good time.
White parties, you know, yeah parties and Pound.

We met, we you know, started dating for a little bit.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Right now, we have Willie cologne and Akesha cologne here
with us. Their buck faith and fertility is out right now.
And that like you initiated it too.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Not intentionally. Let me tell you initiated it.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
That's a intentionally unintentionally, God's clear late.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Right, holds up.
Speaker 8 (29:24):
Look, I saw him.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
I'm sitting here.
Speaker 8 (29:26):
I turned around. I see this guy with locks from
when I stick my hand out, he pulls it back
in and starts flirting, girl, all up in my face,
talking about your pretty eyes and all this. And he
and I, like I said, we met in Atlanta. We
dated a little while, and then we stopped talking because
Willy was Willy was for the Street.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Child, and I was just saying.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
He had, you know, and I was ready.
Speaker 8 (29:49):
So I was ready to you know, be married because
I realized that things that I had was going in
my twenties and thirties. I was changing the trajectory of
what I always wanted, which was ultimately a family, a husband,
wife and chill. So when I got to that point
and I met him, it was crazy because I had
been praying, like God, the next man I meet, I
wanted to be my husband. And so I ended up
meeting Willie.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
What are you trying to say here?
Speaker 1 (30:11):
What say?
Speaker 6 (30:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Because you like, well, my wife tries to say it
like I.
Speaker 10 (30:16):
Was just.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
That her mother come on read and I.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Thought it was so.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
I thought it was so interesting that you even wrote
honestly about this part.
Speaker 8 (30:29):
Can I tell you this?
Speaker 2 (30:30):
I found that.
Speaker 8 (30:32):
Out when you read the book when we got our manuscript,
and I in his defense, when we were getting ready
to write this book, he said, so we're doing this
because at first I was hesitanting about doing it because yeah,
I was ring, I'm like, am are we ready to share.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
This that we do?
Speaker 8 (30:47):
And he was the one who said to me, he said, listen,
this is your testimony. This is our testimony, and it's
going to help so many people. So when he got
ready to do that chapter, he said, you want everything?
Speaker 2 (30:56):
I said, I want it all?
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Okay, Willie, all right, Willie Colonne and i he Shoa
Cologne are here today talking about their book Faith and Fertility,
the things that they went through to get the family
that they've always dreamed of. Imagine going through multiple miscarriages
but finally having your miracle babies.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
It's way up.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
I've been way up with Angela ye more. Now what's up?
Speaker 3 (31:18):
His way up with Angela Yee. And we have Willie
Colonne and a Keisha Cologonne here with us. They are
the Coloons and their book Faith and Fertility is out
right now. They went through so much as a couple
to finally have a baby, And thank you for sharing
this because this had not been an easy journey for you.
You talk about all the different things that you tried
because you really wanted to have a baby, both of you.
(31:40):
I mean you literally were doing acupuncture everything.
Speaker 8 (31:44):
We spent so much money, he spent I had already
gone through because we weren't married at the time we started.
I dealt with all these insecurities of I'm older than
he is. He could have had a baby with anybody,
all these you know, young tendos out here, and now
you're having to pay for me to have a baby.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
For you and my old ass can't get it done.
Speaker 8 (32:04):
And then I started going like, well, maybe I'm not
getting pregnant because we're not married, and you said.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
You had gone through and she's with other women being
pregnant and abortions.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
And I felt like this is to get back.
Speaker 12 (32:14):
I think, listen, you've been around us athletes for a
long time. We can be extremely reckless. When I said, okay,
I'm having a baby with this woman, she will be
the lead in my home.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
We did everything to try to have this.
Speaker 12 (32:26):
We set her from the multiple doctors and they were like, no,
this ain't happening for y'all. So everything she was going through,
I felt like God was punishing me for my lack
of responsibility, the decisions I made, some of the abortions
I had. I felt like God was like, this is
your punishment. And I had to tell her that, like ibe,
I think this is cousin me.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Wow.
Speaker 12 (32:44):
And we had to bring that to the altar and
I was like, man, I'm you know, I'm sorry for
the young wild really that I was so proud of.
And it came to the point because we were trying
so hard to have a child, I was ashamed of him. Right,
and so I had to kind of fight through all that.
It was like all those skeletons that I had packed away.
We're now sitting around in my living room, like, no,
we ain't going nowhere, Jack.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Right now, we have Willie Colonne and Akeisha Cologne here
with us. Their book Faith and Fertility is out right now, Willie,
can you tell me this story when you were at
training camp for the New York Jets and at Kesha
was ovulating and drove three and a half hours just
so that you guys could try to have a baby.
Speaker 12 (33:19):
We were trying so hard. Like I was in training
camp right and my wife drove up to Courtland. This
is when my time with to Ja got.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
The smiley face yea, and she's like.
Speaker 12 (33:28):
I'm coming up there and I got a hotel. I
got a hotel room and we need to do this
right now. And I'm like, I got an ice pack here,
ice pack here. My back's hurt.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
And had to sneak out because they cannot leave.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (33:41):
I couldn't leave the training camp, so I had to
go to one of my security I was like, listen,
my wife is a loveyding and.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
So I gotta go.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Even married crazy.
Speaker 11 (33:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
So I was like, I gotta go.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
I gotta go do what I gotta do and be
right back. And he was just like, well, you know, Willie.
You know if I was like, listen, you just get
out the way.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
And so don't want to deal with her and Angela.
Speaker 12 (33:59):
So I pulled up. I pull up to the hotel.
The room opens up, She's laying there. I don't know,
one dude, that's morning after practice. I I was just
wanting a cold tub and a drink and I'm on
wrapping myself, trying to get myself together and she's like.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Come on on the clock and.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
I had to drive back.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Yeah, so a lot of pressure to perform.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
It was listen, we went through something.
Speaker 12 (34:22):
We went through it, man, but we did it together,
and we did it with our faith, and we did
it with one gold of mind. We going to have
this child.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
What I love is that there is a happy ending.
So I knew that was coming, thank goodness. And while
I'm reading it every single time, I'm like, this is
when it worked.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
And I conceived naturally two times.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
Two times.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
But I do want to say such a powerful book,

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
