Speaker 1: J stays in the Yet, okay, we're going to talk
Speaker 1: about Pastor Jamal Briant what he had to say in
Speaker 1: response to ray J. And ray J has some claims
Speaker 1: about Diddy as well, will tell you what they are.
Speaker 1: It's way up, they says, the rooms.
Speaker 4: From industry shade to all of gos and out. Angela's
Speaker 4: feeling that.
Speaker 1: All right, his way up with Angela yee And as promised,
Speaker 1: my guest co host is here, as Derby is here
Speaker 1: right now. Yes, yes, you ready to.
Speaker 2: Do some yet yes, I am famous?
Speaker 1: Good to it? Are you over here healing, thriving and working?
Speaker 2: According to working? That's gonna be money remix.
Speaker 1: All right, Well let's get into it. So ray J
Speaker 1: versus doctor well, pastor Jamal Bryant. You know Jamal Bryant,
Speaker 1: Yes I do. So he's been on a few episodes
Speaker 1: in Real Housewives of Atomac. Well, apparently ray J did
Speaker 1: not like an interview that he did with Pastor Bryant,
Speaker 1: and here's what RAYJ said.
Speaker 8: Initially, I nothing beloved for Pastor Bryant, but if I
Speaker 8: play that interview, somebody getting smashed off the poor pit.
Speaker 8: Me and Pastor Brian needed to talk because the way
Speaker 8: I was was treating was dirty legal. I'm telling you
Speaker 8: right now, we need to work it out. So if
Speaker 8: we don't, that's gonna be a problem.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Okay, Well, Pastor Bryant responded and he said
Speaker 1: I was so grateful to recently interview one of the
Speaker 1: few maverreaks of this generation, ray J, who has been
Speaker 1: more than impactful and any different fields. And then he
Speaker 1: said they had honest dialogue. They ensured that specific comments
Speaker 1: with potential legal ramifications were edited out to safeguard the
Speaker 1: best interest, but he said his podcast mission is to
Speaker 1: foster authentic and constructive conversations with thought leaders, and this
Speaker 1: episode was no exception. He also said it's a live
Speaker 1: to take production that ordinarily makes no edits, but in
Speaker 1: the spirit of brotherhood, it was mixed with the agreement
Speaker 1: that no other adjustments would be made as the Jamal
Speaker 1: Bryan podcast, So private agreements have now been brought into
Speaker 1: the public eye and he said, he refuses to be
Speaker 1: embroiled in a battle that demeans our community and all
Speaker 1: that I stand for.
Speaker 2: He took the high road with that, he did, he did.
Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting because I've done quite a few
Speaker 2: podcasts and stuff, and usually there is an agreement, right,
Speaker 2: It's like an unspoken agreement that if there's something in
Speaker 2: there you don't like, they'll take it out because I've
Speaker 2: said some things, uh oh, and people have been very
Speaker 2: kind to me. So I imagine that if this had
Speaker 2: been something that I had been talking about offline. I
Speaker 2: know that I know Jamal personally, he would have been
Speaker 2: open to having conversation.
Speaker 1: Right like why have the threats? And then ray J
Speaker 1: went live with it. So let me ask you this,
Speaker 1: what if somebody didn't take it out? Like what if
Speaker 1: you said something and you did say it during an
Speaker 1: interview and they were like, sorry, we're not editing. Has
Speaker 1: that happened.
Speaker 2: No, it hasn't happened to me, you know, but I
Speaker 2: do think that's sort of part for the course, right,
Speaker 2: we know as celebrities. Ray J is not new to
Speaker 2: this game. Yes, it's been here for quite a while, right,
Speaker 2: So you.
Speaker 1: Know, it made me want to hear it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and what happened?
Speaker 1: All right? Can you get the T for us?
Speaker 3: Please?
Speaker 2: I work on it? Can you work on that?
Speaker 1: Thanks you all right now? Ray J in the meantime
Speaker 1: is in TMZ's new tub documentary The Downfall of Ditty
Speaker 1: inside the Freak Offs. That's the part three of this
Speaker 1: Downfall of Ditty that TMZ has been doing. And he
Speaker 1: had some things to say about celebrities going to Diddy
Speaker 1: parties and what they're doing now because I'm.
Speaker 9: Hearing about artists paying victims to keep their name out
Speaker 9: of what people do catch and kills all day. Somebody
Speaker 9: has the truth, somebody pays you to keep it quiet,
Speaker 9: and hopefully that money that you got paid secures your
Speaker 9: happiness while you watched the lie continue to succeed.
Speaker 1: So he said people are getting paid off and giving
Speaker 1: into those money demands.
Speaker 2: So when he says catch and kill, what does that mean?
Speaker 2: I'm not quick clear on that one. I'm not sure
Speaker 2: what does that mean?
Speaker 3: That?
Speaker 2: Like they kill the story? Yeah, kill the stories, know
Speaker 2: what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like, here's some money, let's kill that story. So you know,
Speaker 1: here's some cash, pay you off. But it's interesting because
Speaker 1: you know Rayj's saying all of this. But then now
Speaker 1: you want somebody to like, I don't know ray J
Speaker 1: is ray J? You know?
Speaker 2: But he always has his ear to the pulse like
Speaker 2: he knows what's going on.
Speaker 1: What is his finger on the phone's talking?
Speaker 2: Yeah? He does?
Speaker 1: And did His lawyers have one a third chance to
Speaker 1: request bail for him. So they wanted to be released
Speaker 1: from jail ahead of his sex trafficking child date that's
Speaker 1: supposed to be May fifth. He's been denied built twice
Speaker 1: and so now they're saying he can actually request it again.
Speaker 1: And yes, so we'll see if he ends up being home.
Speaker 1: All right, Well that is your yet. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we have about last night. That's where we discussed what
Speaker 1: we did last night year in New York City. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna find out what you have going on. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what I did. It's way up night night.
Speaker 4: So about last night, Yes, I went down.
Speaker 1: All right, it's way up at Angela Yee, I'm here,
Speaker 1: Ashley Darvey is here with me. Yes, you watched Real
Speaker 1: Housewives at Potomac. Say you know what it is? What
Speaker 1: did you do last night?
Speaker 2: So last night I hung out with my guy Andy Cohen.
Speaker 2: And I was with my girl Teresa Judice or Judici,
Speaker 2: depending on how you like to pronounce it, okay. And
Speaker 2: we went to Medusa.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's a Mediterranean restaurant.
Speaker 2: Okay. Yeah, it was a vibe in there. Yeah, from
Speaker 2: what I could see, you know, it's it's very dimly lit,
Speaker 2: it's very ambient lighting in there, but it was very sexy.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you, you were in the restaurant business.
Speaker 1: Do you miss that?
Speaker 2: Absolutely not, not for one second. One minute. When Milicaca do.
Speaker 1: That so fast?
Speaker 2: You know, seen it? Did it? Got the T shirt?
Speaker 2: And yeah.
Speaker 1: Now they always say that's like the toughest business to
Speaker 1: be in.
Speaker 2: It is because it just changes so much and you
Speaker 2: have to say your breast on all the trends and everything. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and it put a strain on my marriage too.
Speaker 1: So right, Yeah, that's all because you guys were partners
Speaker 1: in that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't recommend that either. You're on ten. Don't recommend you.
Speaker 1: Like I learned a lot moving forward, all right, don't
Speaker 1: really get it all into your business a little later, Okay,
Speaker 1: no worries. So last night, well, first of all, I
Speaker 1: was here at work for quite some time because as
Speaker 1: we are approaching the end of the year. I am
Speaker 1: like the type of person that I can't stand when
Speaker 1: things are very cluttered, and you know, people always talk
Speaker 1: about like mess and how that affects your mental well being.
Speaker 1: So I was in here trying to figure out things
Speaker 1: that I could order the jazz up the studio but
Speaker 1: also get rid of some of this clutter. So fortunately
Speaker 1: I have two guys who work here that can put
Speaker 1: together whatever I ordered, like a nice storage bench for
Speaker 1: the corner so that all of this stuff can be hidden.
Speaker 1: Then I'm also going to get like some artificial play.
Speaker 1: So I was just doing this.
Speaker 2: Oh, you're going to jazz it up in here. It's
Speaker 2: going to be a nice little move.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to jazz it up in here. Before you
Speaker 1: came in here, I liked the lights dim, but because
Speaker 1: we filmed, they always come in here and turn the
Speaker 1: lights up. But I just want to make sure it's
Speaker 1: a vibe, you know, I want to be comfortable. I
Speaker 1: want people to come in here and be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: it smells gay.
Speaker 2: Let's get you know, it's interest boarding here like a mood.
Speaker 1: Board, right, because sometimes at work we can get very
Speaker 1: like complacent in our mess. So I just want to
Speaker 1: make sure that I clear all of that energy out.
Speaker 2: I like that. I think you'll notice a physical change too,
Speaker 2: Like it'll feel different, right, the energy will move differently.
Speaker 1: I was telling I brought up Navy he a lot
Speaker 1: of times will stash food under the desk like a squirrel.
Speaker 1: I'm like, come on, you gotta stop doing that. We

Speaker 1: first baby with her husband, Chris a month ago. According
Speaker 1: to People, she told them that she gave birth to
Speaker 1: their first baby on October third, and they named the
Speaker 1: baby Jeff Awesome. That translates from Hebrew to excellence and abundance.
Speaker 1: So congratulations to Candace. You guys together on real Highsewives.
Speaker 1: People thought y'all were going to be like hanging out
Speaker 1: all the time. There were some bumping heads.
Speaker 2: You know, we're friend of me, okay, I mean, ultimately
Speaker 2: I really care about her. I actually been putting on
Speaker 2: my to do list to buy her a gift because
Speaker 2: I knew she gave birth. So, you know, this is
Speaker 2: one of those things where I think motherhood really unifies you.
Speaker 2: And if there's anything that she and I can find
Speaker 2: really good common ground on, We've done pageantry in the
Speaker 2: past and stuff like that, and working in the restaurant industry,
Speaker 2: but now motherhood, I think we could have a really
Speaker 2: good friendship.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Even when she was up here guests housing, she
Speaker 1: spoke highly of you too during that, so that's.
Speaker 2: Nice to see.
Speaker 1: So you guys, maybe the kids will play together. Although
Speaker 1: her baby is a baby baby, but it's like babies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my kids love babies. My older son he's like,
Speaker 2: do you need anything. I mean, it's a cure thing,
Speaker 2: but is it Jeff j e.
Speaker 1: And oh wait, I'm sorry. It says jet oh jets
Speaker 1: hard in my reading j E t t Oh.
Speaker 2: I like that name.
Speaker 1: I looked at that. I was like, Jeff, and then
Speaker 1: you asked me that it says jet okay, Jet Bassett. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so congratulations today, good day.
Speaker 2: I like that.
Speaker 1: Now you're gonna send the gift and then you guys
Speaker 1: are going to hang out, all right. So next up
Speaker 1: flow Millie. People were thinking that she was pregnant. She
Speaker 1: posted a video and it looked like I guess a
Speaker 1: baby bump and there's a guy who's an amassed over
Speaker 1: his face that's dancing as well, and people were in
Speaker 1: the comments. Even Mega the Stallion was like my girl
Speaker 1: all right, So people thought it was a pregnancy announcement.
Speaker 1: But she went on X and said, damn, I can't
Speaker 1: be bloated.
Speaker 2: May can we talk about the pictures that she posted?
Speaker 2: It's literally a baby announcement. He has the hands on
Speaker 2: the belly.
Speaker 1: You know, she got belly out and yeah.

Speaker 1: Did and did. Yeah all right, And DDG says that
Speaker 1: he has not moved on from Hallie Belly. You know,
Speaker 1: they had the baby and they ended up breaking up.
Speaker 1: People did not anticipate that because they seemed like they
Speaker 1: were so much in love. And he said he does
Speaker 1: want to have more kids with his X.
Speaker 10: Do I want to have another kid? Yes, I do
Speaker 10: want to have another kid, but if I was to
Speaker 10: have another kid, it definitely would be with the same person.
Speaker 10: Like I don't want to have kids with multiple people.
Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough? Interesting, Yeah, I think nobody's intention is
Speaker 1: ever to do that, right life Sometimes, you know, people
Speaker 1: thought he was dating one of the women from Batties
Speaker 1: after they filmed a music video on a Mac, but
Speaker 1: he said he was not, and I still kind of
Speaker 1: want to go back and maybe work things out with
Speaker 1: his ex. Here's what he said, Have you moved on
Speaker 1: are you ready to date again?
Speaker 10: No, I'm not dating. I haven't like moved on whatever
Speaker 10: that means in y'all, since I'm just really focused on work.
Speaker 1: And he also said that he linked with three girls
Speaker 1: for work purposes because he does and has been doing
Speaker 1: TikTok's YouTube's Like that's what he was doing even beforehand,
Speaker 1: and so he said, I go on TikTok and I
Speaker 1: see y'all making edits like I'm dating this girl. Y'all
Speaker 1: don't even know. I'm just working.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I understand him, and you know they're so young.
Speaker 2: I'm holding out hope. I don't know what happened that
Speaker 2: could have caused him to break up. Yep, but the
Speaker 2: baby is so cute. Hello, he's so cute.
Speaker 1: And y'all been giving DDG a hard time, like lead
Speaker 1: this man alone. It feels like he loves he loves

Speaker 1: full now. Some people went to her boyfriend's social media page.
Speaker 1: He goes by yerki Yerki. I don't know if that's
Speaker 1: a bad thing to say. I don't even know if
Speaker 1: that means all right.

Speaker 1: this dumb a Disney channel be pregnant. I hate this
Speaker 1: ooh three or four. Cool to say, but a lot
Speaker 1: of fans were upset. But apparently according to both s
Speaker 1: Guy Jackson and her mother, they said his page was hacked.
Speaker 1: He never said this, end of story. He never said
Speaker 1: this stopped being messy.
Speaker 2: Okay, Whenever I see people's facebooks get hacked, it's like
Speaker 2: click here, win a million dollars. It's never this specific,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Like this, this is real specific.

Speaker 1: see all of that. But that is your yet. When
Speaker 1: we come back, it's time for Under the Radar, and
Speaker 1: today is the day Joe Biden is hosting Donald Trump
Speaker 1: at the White House and they're having their sit down.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna give you those updates in real time.
Speaker 1: It's way up the news news.
Speaker 4: This in the news that relates to you. These stories
Speaker 4: are flying under the radar.
Speaker 1: All right, it's way up with Angela Yee. I'm here
Speaker 1: with my guest co host, Ashley Darby. How you feeling
Speaker 1: so good?
Speaker 2: I think I belong here, Yes, And.
Speaker 1: We are about to do under the radar stories that
Speaker 1: are flying under the radar, not necessarily in the headlines.
Speaker 1: We've been talking a lot behind the scenes about politics
Speaker 1: and right now today in real time, Donald Trump and
Speaker 1: Joe Biden are meeting. It's the first time the President
Speaker 1: elect will be back at the White House since leaving office,
Speaker 1: and Joe Biden wants to make sure that things are
Speaker 1: going to happen and this transition will happen smoothly.
Speaker 11: Congratulations, Thank you.
Speaker 8: Looking forward to having a expoose transition.
Speaker 6: Thank you very much.
Speaker 7: And politics are tough many cases, not a very nice world.
Speaker 7: But it is a nice world today and I appreciate
Speaker 7: very much a transition that's so smooth.
Speaker 8: It'll be as smooth as you can.
Speaker 1: Get, too. Better didn't happen to reverse when you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, when he had to give up the
Speaker 1: White House, So it's interesting because he never did that
Speaker 1: for Joe Biden, but now Joe Biden is still taking
Speaker 1: the high road and doing that for him.
Speaker 2: I do appreciate that about the campaign.
Speaker 1: And Joe Biden also did write a handwritten letter to
Speaker 1: Milania Trump, which is the traditional meeting of incoming and
Speaker 1: outgoing first ladies, and she also extended an invitation for
Speaker 1: Milania Trump to come in, but she declined, oh I.
Speaker 2: Missed that part.
Speaker 1: Oh well, okay, So yes, indeed that says a lot
Speaker 1: that speaks volumes and does all right. Now, another thing
Speaker 1: that happened is Donald Trump is doubling down on his
Speaker 1: getting rid of the Department of Education. And not only
Speaker 1: is he doing that, but he also wants to make
Speaker 1: sure that if there is any type of DEI, any
Speaker 1: type of affirmative action, he wants the Department of Justice
Speaker 1: to go after diversity, equity and inclusion programs and to
Speaker 1: pursue federal civil rights cases against these schools. Here's what
Speaker 1: he had to say in this speech.
Speaker 7: Will direct the Department of Justice to pursue federal civil
Speaker 7: rights cases against schools that continue to engage in racial
Speaker 7: discrimination and schools that persist in explicit and lawful discrimination
Speaker 7: under the guise of equity. Will not only have their
Speaker 7: endowment sax, but through budget reconciliation, I will advance a
Speaker 7: measure to have them find up to the entire amount
Speaker 7: of their endowment. A portion of the ceased funds will
Speaker 7: then be used as restitution for victims of these illegal
Speaker 7: and unjust policies.
Speaker 1: Is this wild? So basically the people who, even though
Speaker 1: he didn't necessarily say white people, the people who he
Speaker 1: considers victims of so called equity discrimination would be white families, right,
Speaker 1: because we all know how important diversity is in and
Speaker 1: the universities to make sure our kids are also exposed
Speaker 1: to all different kinds of people. They've proven in the
Speaker 1: workplace that diverse environments thrive way more than places that
Speaker 1: are not diverse. But I wonder if this is going
Speaker 1: to count towards people who have legacy families who get
Speaker 1: into schools because of that right.
Speaker 2: You know, if you consider how much progress has been
Speaker 2: made in the education system where we came to think
Speaker 2: that so much of that can be unraveled just within
Speaker 2: the next year, it is heartbreaking.
Speaker 1: Anyway, we got to make sure we pay attention, and
Speaker 1: you know, this is going to be affecting things like
Speaker 1: the pel Grant, which helps provide college accessibility for over
Speaker 1: eighty percent of the black population. Many of those students,
Speaker 1: because there's no Department of Education, won't be able to
Speaker 1: get that. So we'll see what happens and if he's
Speaker 1: even able to do this, because we still do have
Speaker 1: a system in place.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, that is you're under the radar. We
Speaker 1: do have the Way Up mixed at the top of
Speaker 1: the hour, and it is a Wealth Wednesday. So we
Speaker 1: have a special guest joining us, Shakima si Aka the
Speaker 1: passport Abuser. She will teach you how to travel for free,
Speaker 1: using your perks, using your rewards, all of those things. Surveys.
Speaker 1: You know, when you take surveys, you get all kinds
Speaker 1: of benefits. We'll talk about it. It's way up.
Speaker 12: She's like the talk like they am Jeal Jean, Like
Speaker 12: they am Jeal Jean.
Speaker 4: And she's spilling it all. This is yeaty way up.
Speaker 1: It's way up at Angela.
Speaker 2: Yee. I'm here.
Speaker 1: Ashley Darby's been guest hosting all day. Appreciate you.
Speaker 2: I'm having a great time. Thank you for having me here.
Speaker 1: All right, well, let's get right into some YEATI who
Speaker 1: is the sexiest man alive. According to People magazine for
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, we went down a whole rabbit hole.
Speaker 1: We do people who've won back in the nineties, like
Speaker 1: a Tom Cruise bread right.
Speaker 2: Some are surprising, some not so.
Speaker 1: Much, Genzel Washington, John Legend, Michael B. Jordan. But anyway,
Speaker 1: this year, for the first time ever, John Krasinski was
Speaker 1: the big winner and he accepted this honor. He love
Speaker 1: that noise on Stephen Kvit's late night show. And he's
Speaker 1: been married to Emily Blunt for fourteen years. They live
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn. They have two daughters, Hazel and Violet. And
Speaker 1: here is what they said on the show.
Speaker 2: Was she surprised?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: There was so much laughter on the other end of
Speaker 2: the phone it was hard to get worse. But for sure,
Speaker 2: they just want to find a guy to make a laugh.
Speaker 2: Isn't that what they say? Exactly?
Speaker 1: Man, listen Jim from the office.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got some swag.
Speaker 1: It's the sexiest man alive.
Speaker 2: I can't quite see the sexiest man alive, but I
Speaker 2: can definitely see that he's got a little JENNISI qua
Speaker 2: about him.
Speaker 1: And he definitely in a quiet place, was very protective.
Speaker 2: He was, you know, we love that that chops into
Speaker 2: our primal side. Maybe that's what the people like, but.
Speaker 1: Anyway, yes, so congratulations to him. According to people, he
Speaker 1: is the sexiest man alive. Okay, all right, and I
Speaker 1: do also want to make sure that we shout out
Speaker 1: to Whoopy Goldberg. You know, we talked about this how
Speaker 1: she's launching her all women's network for sports, and I
Speaker 1: think it's available today starting now. So she has launched AWSN,
Speaker 1: all Women's Sports Network. She's you know, she's said this
Speaker 1: before that basically she doesn't like the way that women's
Speaker 1: sports are sometimes like an afterthought, right, and so despite
Speaker 1: the rapid growth of women's sports, coverage remains disproportionately low
Speaker 1: but less than ten percent of media attention. So this
Speaker 1: global sports network is going to change that. So we
Speaker 1: love it.
Speaker 2: We love that. Yeah, thank you, Woopy, thank you WIP.
Speaker 1: You're seeing a need for something, all right. Quality Control
Speaker 1: Music has expanded into country music. They have a news signing.
Speaker 1: They announced that they have signed The Boykins. It's a
Speaker 1: quartette of singing sisters whose music leans toward countries but
Speaker 1: also incorporates elements of pop, hip hop, rock, and soul.
Speaker 2: I think I follow them on TikTok oh career. I
Speaker 2: think I do. Yeah, there are time.
Speaker 1: Now listen, Shaboozi just broke records with like having the
Speaker 1: longest running number one song with I think it only
Speaker 1: makes sense. Country music, no matter what, has always been
Speaker 1: a money maker.
Speaker 2: That's true it, yes, yeah, and I love to see that.
Speaker 2: Those girls deserve that.
Speaker 1: Have you ever done any country music or played with
Speaker 1: that a little bit?
Speaker 2: No? No, I've tried to do a little two step,
Speaker 2: a little square dancing my days.
Speaker 1: So that's about it, all right, Well, can't wait to
Speaker 1: see what this sounds like. Ice Cube has revealed the
Speaker 1: release date and cover art for his album Man Down.
Speaker 1: So that is gonna be November twenty second. That's soon.
Speaker 1: Is that a Friday because you know people, Yeah, next Friday,
Speaker 1: that's going to be coming out, he said. The album
Speaker 1: my fans have been waiting on Man Down jobs on

Speaker 1: to ice Cube, Truia legend.
Speaker 2: Truly, he's been in the game a minute.
Speaker 1: Yes, he said, he wanted Doctor Jay to produce his
Speaker 1: debut solo album, but easy actually stopped it from happening.
Speaker 1: He was talking to my god Noah an idea generation
Speaker 1: for Complex and he gave some behind the scenes information
Speaker 1: on what happened with that interest. But this is his
Speaker 1: first album since twenty eight so it's been what six
Speaker 1: years since you put anything out.

Speaker 1: So we do have Shakima Keen Smith. She is the
Speaker 1: passport abuser. You've seen her on Forbes, CNN, sn CNBC,
Speaker 1: USA Today, Business Insider, CBS National News. She has a
Speaker 1: free masterclass and she's the founder of travel like a Boss.
Speaker 1: Learn how you can use rewards and surveys to travel.
Speaker 1: That's amazing, it is. I love when I use my
Speaker 1: points and get a free flight. I love when I
Speaker 1: use my points to get free hotel rooms.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's a science to this. So I'm glad
Speaker 2: people are making it more accessible.
Speaker 1: Yes, everyday things that you can purchase that will go
Speaker 1: towards you getting free miles, free hotel rooms, all of that.
Speaker 1: So she's going to help you with that.
Speaker 2: It's a way out.
Speaker 9: I've had a dream of wealthy and I don't mind
Speaker 9: sharing my wealth.
Speaker 4: Dog you straight financially, mentally and physically. This is Wealth
Speaker 4: Wednesday on way Up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 1: It's way up with Angela Yee. I'm here. It's a
Speaker 1: Wealth Wednesday. Stacy tisday and my partner's here.
Speaker 13: Happy Wealth Wednesdays everybody, And I bet a lot of
Speaker 13: y'all are wanting to get away.
Speaker 1: Listen. They're saying prices to go travel right now are
Speaker 1: the highest like that they've ever been.
Speaker 13: Not for us, No, not anymore because we have the
Speaker 13: passport abuser Keem Smith. She has traveled solo to eighty
Speaker 13: one countries without paying cash or going into debt.
Speaker 1: You went to Japan for.
Speaker 13: Six dollars when you've helped over twelve thousand people travel
Speaker 13: the world for free and.
Speaker 1: They are no buddy pass So I want to talk
Speaker 1: about how you managed to travel like a boss. Yes,
Speaker 1: using rewards. That's one of my favorite things to do.
Speaker 12: Yeah, so one of the first things that I do
Speaker 12: to travel around the world for free. Is just change
Speaker 12: my purchase behavior. Most people don't know this, but airlines
Speaker 12: have different shopping portals where you can just shop on
Speaker 12: line for the same things that you would get if
Speaker 12: you went into a store.
Speaker 2: Let's say you need Q Tips.
Speaker 12: Hygiene products, sheets for your bed and you're constantly going
Speaker 12: to Walmart. Instead of going into the store for Walmart,
Speaker 12: you would just simply go onto your airline shopping portal online,
Speaker 12: so the prices are not jacked up. So this was
Speaker 12: a way for me to take my purchase power back
Speaker 12: and instead of just getting a receipt and a thank
Speaker 12: you so much for shopping here, four miles per dollar.
Speaker 1: Well not even one mile, you got four miles per dollar.
Speaker 13: Bigger perks like that because the airlines taken further.
Speaker 1: They want you to pay like you your T mobile,
Speaker 1: bile everything.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it gets really deep.
Speaker 12: Instead of going into home depot or redo your whole bathroom,
Speaker 12: go to your airline shopping portal. It will direct you
Speaker 12: directly to the home depot site. And then if it
Speaker 12: cost me six thousand dollars to redo my bathroom, but
Speaker 12: I got five miles from home depot, so I'm never yeah,
Speaker 12: so I never have to worry about paying for flights
Speaker 12: again because the money that I'm spending on a daily
Speaker 12: basis always converts into a free flight.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I use my Dela. I have a Delta
Speaker 1: MX card, so I use that card to buy things
Speaker 1: so that I can get like a lot of miles.
Speaker 1: When I know this stuff, I need to do what
Speaker 1: you're spending money, Yeah, but you have to spend the money.
Speaker 1: And then it also does link to different like Lyft
Speaker 1: and Uber and all of that.
Speaker 2: Like absolutely, I'll do that all the time.
Speaker 12: When I wake up in the morning, I go directly
Speaker 12: to Starbucks because I know Delta is going to give
Speaker 12: me two miles per dollar every time I had this machiatta,
Speaker 12: you know, every.
Speaker 1: Single Right now, it's a wealth Wednesday. I'm with Stacy
Speaker 1: Tisdale and we are talking to the passport abuser aka
Speaker 1: Sakimas Smith about how you can travel like a boss
Speaker 1: and travel for free. She's gone to eighty seven countries
Speaker 1: without paying cash, and she'll tell you how you can
Speaker 1: do it too.
Speaker 12: And rent, right, they have this program where you can
Speaker 12: actually get a free flight every single time you pay
Speaker 12: your rent. It accumulates into points for you to be
Speaker 12: able to travel with.
Speaker 1: That's why I've definitely never heard of that you.
Speaker 12: Can fill out surveys to get free films and free
Speaker 12: hotels as.
Speaker 13: Well, and you're gonna give them a free master class
Speaker 13: because we're trying to make it it's free. Good November,
Speaker 13: we had to determine it's free. To get your free class, everybody,
Speaker 13: go to the passport abuser dot com Free master class
Speaker 13: for our audience passport abuser dot com. And one just
Speaker 13: one other point I want you to make about people
Speaker 13: are hearing this and they're like, oh, they're talking about
Speaker 13: like using your credit card for rewards. No, but this
Speaker 13: rent thing with this bill, if you pay your rent
Speaker 13: with their card and get the miles, they also report
Speaker 13: that payment to the credit bureau.
Speaker 2: And you'll credit.
Speaker 12: You're building credit by paying your rent and getting miles.
Speaker 12: And thank you so much for pointing that out, Stacey. Yeah,
Speaker 12: so when we shop on airline shopping portals, uh, there
Speaker 12: is no credit card needed. If you want to convert
Speaker 12: some miles from Uber and you've just been taken Uber
Speaker 12: and they convert into a hotel purchase with Marriott, there
Speaker 12: is no credit card needed. So a lot of the
Speaker 12: things that I show are without a credit card.
Speaker 13: And real quick, what are people going to learn in
Speaker 13: your free masterclass?
Speaker 12: So I'm going to show you guys how to get
Speaker 12: a free flight every time you eat out. That's how
Speaker 12: I went to Japan for six dollars. I'm gonna show
Speaker 12: everybody what are the airline shopping portals, what are the sites?
Speaker 12: I'm going to show them how to get a free
Speaker 12: flight every time they fill out a survey, how to
Speaker 12: get free hotel days and so much more.

Speaker 1: mind calling you when she needs something and be like
Speaker 1: and I just want us to be honest because I'm

Speaker 1: right now, you know yeah, all right, Well that was
Speaker 1: asking eight hundred two ninety two fifty one fifty. If
Speaker 1: you couldn't get through, you can still leave a message
Speaker 1: and ask a question that way. And when we come back,
Speaker 1: we're gonna be talking to Ashley Darby all things about
Speaker 1: your life and about Real Housewives epotomac because that's also
Speaker 1: part of your life.
Speaker 2: It is indeed, all right, his way up?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you want to know my name with Angelay, turn
Speaker 1: me on what's up? Its way up at Angela yee.
Speaker 1: And we've been enjoying Ashley Darby's company all morning and
Speaker 1: afternoon that she's been guest hosting. But now we got
Speaker 1: to talk about it because Real Housewives of Potomac the
Speaker 1: season is underway.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 1: I think we're six episodes in season nine. Okay, let's
Speaker 1: talk about this for a second, because this season has
Speaker 1: been a lot going on, especially with Mia. We've been
Speaker 1: watching her like on social media. She's got her new
Speaker 1: man that is a blast in the past. They got
Speaker 1: back together, but she still has her husband living in
Speaker 1: the same building that she lives in, right, yes, okay,
Speaker 1: we sort of were.
Speaker 2: Made aware of the fact that Mia had had this
Speaker 2: baby or got pregnant while she was married to Gordon,
Speaker 2: and apparently it was like a year into their marriage
Speaker 2: or something. And you know, for Gordon to just come
Speaker 2: and stand tin toes in front of Ink and confront
Speaker 2: him was so surprising.
Speaker 1: And then there's some questions about like paternity or is there.
Speaker 2: Some heartbreaking stuff?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, are we going to see all of
Speaker 1: that play out?
Speaker 2: I think you will.
Speaker 1: Now another thing that's been going on with you perhaps dating,
Speaker 1: perhaps that could be happening. And I say, you guys
Speaker 1: have a whole conversation about that, right, like, when do
Speaker 1: you introduce somebody you're dating to your kids? When does
Speaker 1: that happen? So for you, what was your advice when
Speaker 1: it came to introducing your kids to somebody different than
Speaker 1: their father?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely think you should at least introduce your
Speaker 2: new partner to your ex partner, okay, prior to introducing
Speaker 2: your children.
Speaker 1: And you want that too. You added that respect also, Well.
Speaker 2: That's an agreement with that Max husband and I have,
Speaker 2: is that we would introduce each other to the adult
Speaker 2: first before bringing the children into the equation.
Speaker 1: Okay, And so.
Speaker 2: Far, you know, we've been separated two years, we've been
Speaker 2: abiding by that.
Speaker 1: Have you met some women?
Speaker 2: No, Oh, I'm going and you know my kids can
Speaker 2: talk now, so they would tell me. They still they do.
Speaker 1: Right now, I'm talking to one of the ogs from
Speaker 1: Real Housewives Apotomac Ashley Darby. But you are finally getting
Speaker 1: a divorce, right, You're moving ahead with that, so I
Speaker 1: know it would be some of the storyline too.
Speaker 2: It is. It is actually some things that happened this
Speaker 2: week that are very big and I wish I could
Speaker 2: tell you and everybody has had an opinion about when
Speaker 2: I should have gotten a divorce. Are you really getting
Speaker 2: a divorce?
Speaker 1: Living together and everything, I mean before at first, like
Speaker 1: you guys are still we.
Speaker 2: Did mainly just for the children, and I was house
Speaker 2: hunting during the like the housing prime, so it's not
Speaker 2: as I wasn't actively trying to change that situation. I've
Speaker 2: been in my house on two years, so it's been
Speaker 2: an adjustment for me and the kids. Like they still
Speaker 2: wake up and they'll be like, Mom, I would love
Speaker 2: to see dad, you know, or like they still make
Speaker 2: comments about the time that we live together. So I
Speaker 2: just had to do it all in my own time.
Speaker 2: And people also would like is it a security issue?
Speaker 1: Because you know, they were like, is actually like concerned
Speaker 1: about financial security and things like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm never going to shy away from that. You know,
Speaker 2: it's hard out here. You know, we know what the
Speaker 2: economy is doing right now, so of course I wanted
Speaker 2: to be considered of that, and you know, also I
Speaker 2: just want my kids to have the best upbringing that
Speaker 2: they can have, and that includes financial security and stability,
Speaker 2: and we had to work out all those things. We
Speaker 2: did have a prenup, so that helped us a lot.
Speaker 2: But things have changed so much. We've been together since
Speaker 2: I was twenty two years old. I'm now thirty six
Speaker 2: years old, so we were together for twelve years.
Speaker 1: And he's almost thirty years older than you, twenty nine
Speaker 1: years older when you think about dating, because we did
Speaker 1: see like you talked to a couple of guys and
Speaker 1: a guy was like, I won't date over thirty five
Speaker 1: or whatever. Could you see yourself dating somebody that much older?
Speaker 2: Again, Well, you know that guy didn't last very long.
Speaker 2: Clearly like, Maady, I'm not a sugar mamma.
Speaker 11: Okay, but well, interestingly I would say yes you would, Okay,
Speaker 11: all right, Well, Ashley Darby has been guest hosting all
Speaker 11: day and we're still talking to her.
Speaker 1: And when we come back, let's talk about Karen Hugert.
Speaker 1: That's been a big storyline this season, our Real Housewives
Speaker 1: at Potomac, that duy she got and also how did
Speaker 1: Ashley handle that situation? Is it shady? We'll talk about it.
Speaker 1: It's way up up with Angela. Let's go. You are
Speaker 1: a media maven, right, you.
Speaker 2: Never know what Ange's gonna say.
Speaker 1: What's up his way up at Angela? Ye? And Ashley
Speaker 1: Darby is here now listen, let's talk about you and Karen,
Speaker 1: because you guys are OG's on the show. But they've
Speaker 1: been focused a lot on her du Why that she
Speaker 1: got right? And you gave her like some Uber cards,
Speaker 1: some Uber gift cards and she did not appreciate that?
Speaker 1: Was that shady? And could you see why?
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, let me rewind that because in the moment
Speaker 2: she did say thank you. Now our confessional was a
Speaker 2: different story because I also say it if you don't
Speaker 2: need them passing back this way, right? But she took them.
Speaker 1: Okay, But yeah.
Speaker 2: Maybe a little bit. But also, like you know, I did.
Speaker 2: Maybe I tried to bring light to a situation that
Speaker 2: Karen clearly doesn't see any light in, and I didn't
Speaker 2: quite understand the magnitude of what she was going through
Speaker 2: at the time. Obviously I knew the accident was serious,
Speaker 2: but I haven't really had a chance to speak to
Speaker 2: Karen about it. I didn't know what was happening, so
Speaker 2: at that moment, everything was still pretty fresh as far
Speaker 2: as what I knew.
Speaker 1: Do you think she needs to rehab for realigase? As
Speaker 1: that came up to, I think.
Speaker 2: Someone who's had two duys in their lifetime, it probably
Speaker 2: does speak to an addiction issue. Obviously, I don't know
Speaker 2: all of what Karen does, but yeah, you need some help.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's get into some things that you
Speaker 1: have going on, because we know that you've had this
Speaker 1: music career, yes, right, and so now this is something
Speaker 1: that you want to dive into fully.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know. I did my first song rate after
Speaker 2: my anniversary, my second anniversary to my husband, and then
Speaker 2: motherhood came and I was at.
Speaker 1: The coffee and love Yeah, yeah, okay, I wrote.
Speaker 2: It for him and I was really gonna pursue it,
Speaker 2: go after it. And then I just wanted to be
Speaker 2: a mom and I didn't think I could balance to
Speaker 2: two things at the same time. And after I had
Speaker 2: my first son, i'd postpum depression. Just everything felt so
Speaker 2: overwhelming that I didn't know how I could do my
Speaker 2: own projects and be a mom. So now it's a
Speaker 2: new day. The sun is shining a little brighter for
Speaker 2: the girl. I'm healing and I'm Thriving an twer king. Yes,
