Speaker 1: What's up? Family, it's your girl to make a d
Speaker 1: Mallory and it's your boy and my son, and we
Speaker 1: are your host of street politicians, the places in the
Speaker 1: streets and what's up. How you doing? I'm blessing how
Speaker 1: they favorite, you know, doing God's work outside? You live
Speaker 1: in life? Life is living me? Are you living the soft?
Speaker 1: Life's over? Man? No, let me tell you something. I
Speaker 1: have to be really honest about something that you know.
Speaker 1: I need to share this with you. I didn't. We
Speaker 1: really have not talked about this. You know. It's funny
Speaker 1: because some shows, I'm sure they coordinate things offline and
Speaker 1: they get on a thing and they talk about we
Speaker 1: just be talking about stuff and and you know, I'm
Speaker 1: really sad to say this, but I was in Harlem
Speaker 1: the other day and I was I was getting my
Speaker 1: hair of them. So I went to go get some
Speaker 1: food from a seafood spot that we all love. Right
Speaker 1: I When I'm in Harlem, especially, I don't care if
Speaker 1: I'm in If I'm at the tip by where the
Speaker 1: Polar Grounds projects is in Harlem, right there where brad
Speaker 1: Hurst sort of ends. It's it's some wild things that
Speaker 1: go on over there. I used to be over there
Speaker 1: all the time. If there's food in Harlem anywhere, as
Speaker 1: you know, even in the Bronx, I don't given damn
Speaker 1: where it is. I'm going middle of the night for
Speaker 1: cod on, driving my nice car. I don't care. I
Speaker 1: go anywhere I want in New York City, but in Brooklyn,
Speaker 1: I don't really know Brooklyn and queens like that, So
Speaker 1: of course I'm gonna go with somebody that I know
Speaker 1: from those areas. Those are just like you know, that's
Speaker 1: just the code. If you go to somebody else community
Speaker 1: you don't really know where you're at, you need to
Speaker 1: have somebody from that community move you around. But the
Speaker 1: Bronx and Harlem, I can go anywhere I want. I'm loved,
Speaker 1: I meet my I know how to say things to
Speaker 1: my people to make them, to disarm them. When I
Speaker 1: see a bunch of guys standing outside of a store,
Speaker 1: I walk up, I'm like, what's up, brothers, how y'all doing?
Speaker 1: We get the laughing talking most of the time, they
Speaker 1: get the flur in. I love my city, but I
Speaker 1: ain't gonna lie to you. When I was standing outside
Speaker 1: of Harlem, I went to I was getting my hair done.
Speaker 1: I left and I went to walk to go get food.
Speaker 1: The first thing is I walked down the street through
Speaker 1: this particular place and it's not even addicts. I I've
Speaker 1: been around addicts my entire life. I have been around
Speaker 1: people passing out from hounding, you know, doing the dick
Speaker 1: where they go all the way damn, then down to
Speaker 1: the ground and bounce back up. I have seen addicts
Speaker 1: my entire life. But there is a mental health thing
Speaker 1: that's going on that I'm not used to bro and
Speaker 1: I and I'm not gonna lie between walking down this
Speaker 1: one street and it was it was just like a
Speaker 1: lot of people. They was screaming out and doing all
Speaker 1: of these things. And I felt so bad, like my God,
Speaker 1: like what are we doing? Like what is happening for
Speaker 1: these people? They are suffering with all kinds of mental
Speaker 1: health issues? Is it? So? Security? Um office right around
Speaker 1: the corner where you talking about, so a lot of
Speaker 1: them be going over there. Well, and there's a method
Speaker 1: on clinic somewhere around there too, So that's one thing.
Speaker 1: But then when I got on the avenue and I
Speaker 1: was in the restaurant, first of all, in the restaurant,
Speaker 1: at least two incidents popped off between the people behind
Speaker 1: the counter and the black people who was piste off
Speaker 1: and nanny get treated right or you know, you always
Speaker 1: playing with me when I come in here. So that
Speaker 1: was going on, okay, but you know I can deal
Speaker 1: with that. I understand you stay out the way whatever.
Speaker 1: When I went outside, because you know, nobody really stands
Speaker 1: in the restaurant waiting for the fool to be men,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. I was mad, uncomfortable. It was
Speaker 1: a lot of things going on, people yelling, one guy
Speaker 1: in his car and I and I felt nervous, not
Speaker 1: because anybody's gonna do anything to me. Because by the way,
Speaker 1: there was a lady and her son at the bus stop.
Speaker 1: They noticed me and we started talking and the mother
Speaker 1: was taking pictures and so. But while she's taking pictures,
Speaker 1: I'm watching what's going on because it's six or seven
Speaker 1: different things popping off on different corners and people yelling
Speaker 1: and this going on, and I'm like, yo, outside is
Speaker 1: a little touchy. It's not the same environment out here
Speaker 1: right now. Now. It's it's dangerous. You know. I walked through,
Speaker 1: you know, outside a lot, especially in the area you're
Speaker 1: talking on, and it's it's a lot going on. Like
Speaker 1: its drug addicts, but it's definitely mental mental health is
Speaker 1: a real big thing, like really big thing. You know.
Speaker 1: It's some of them that I see normally every day,
Speaker 1: like I go to the gym and this and that,
Speaker 1: and you just see, especially in the Bronx and Harlem,
Speaker 1: it's a real deeply rooted mental health thing. Even the
Speaker 1: people that are like hustling on the corners, like you know,
Speaker 1: the little they they are dealing with mental health, and
Speaker 1: it's just like it's really crazy. It's it's like I
Speaker 1: never I don't think maybe it was always happening, or
Speaker 1: maybe it wasn't or we just didn't pay attention. But
Speaker 1: I just think I'm way more alert. I don't. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying I'm not because I don't want to know.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm right around. I wasn't. No,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I'm telling you I never had a feeling.
Speaker 1: The other thing I felt away about when I saw
Speaker 1: it was a little thing going on this one kid.
Speaker 1: He was going back and forth with the girl and
Speaker 1: then something and I was worried, like, yo, I don't
Speaker 1: know what could happen right here and how other people around?
Speaker 1: Because God forbid, he starts fighting with this girl. Coming
Speaker 1: from what I come from, and they were younger, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna stand here and watch him beat this girl
Speaker 1: up like I can't do it, It's not in me.
Speaker 1: So now that's the whole other element of you preaching
Speaker 1: to people. Why are you standing around filming and doing nothing,
Speaker 1: and then when you're put in a situation, how are
Speaker 1: you gonna respond? Because there was a man on the
Speaker 1: train in our new segment, I was gonna talk about it,
Speaker 1: but I might as well bring it up now. You know,
Speaker 1: there was a man on the train who was trying
Speaker 1: to break up a fight between people, and he got
Speaker 1: stabbed just the other day. I don't know if he
Speaker 1: had if he died, I hope not, but I know
Speaker 1: he got stabbed. I turned from the story because I
Speaker 1: couldn't even take it. And I know that they are
Speaker 1: more less and less people who are willing to help you,
Speaker 1: which is why I can't even take the train, because well,
Speaker 1: by the way, the train is a disaster. Every person
Speaker 1: that I know, all of our good friends that take
Speaker 1: the train to work every day, they're talking about the
Speaker 1: amount of penises they see, the women that have no
Speaker 1: underwear note just a T shirt on walking through the
Speaker 1: through over all the people in mental off is on
Speaker 1: the train, they all living down there in the in
Speaker 1: the subway, um masturbating, all kinds of craziness, people snatching food,
Speaker 1: people you know, making you feel uncomfortable. I can't take
Speaker 1: the train for more reasons than one. Obviously, I can't
Speaker 1: just be moving about the city any kind of way.
Speaker 1: But also I don't believe that anyone is gonna help
Speaker 1: me in the event that something happens. I don't think
Speaker 1: that people are gonna help me because look at look
Speaker 1: at the examples of what we've been seeing in this
Speaker 1: man that got stabbed. But here's the last part of
Speaker 1: my little story. So then then, so this is the
Speaker 1: daytime when I'm going and you know, I don't know,
Speaker 1: you don't know a lot about weaves, but it takes
Speaker 1: hours from when they take it out your head, wash
Speaker 1: your hair, treat your hair, brave your hair, and resew
Speaker 1: it in and then style it hours. You can easily
Speaker 1: do five or six hours. So when I started, it
Speaker 1: was hair removed, washed, ready to be braided. So now
Speaker 1: I'm going to the store to get something to eat
Speaker 1: that's processed or all the girls that do this, we know.
Speaker 1: But by the time I'm finished, it's nighttime and I'm
Speaker 1: leaving the salon walking to my car. First thing I
Speaker 1: gotta deal with is rats running everywhere. And that's not
Speaker 1: a Harlem problem, as it's everywhere problem. Okay, it's all
Speaker 1: over New York. If you don't live nowhere, you can't
Speaker 1: live downtown. You can't be on Fifth Avenue and not
Speaker 1: see a rat. It's not gonna it's nowhere that you
Speaker 1: go that you're not gonnaee rats. So I gotta deal
Speaker 1: with that. It's rat That's so that's my first thing.
Speaker 1: It's dark, right, nobody's really around. The people that are
Speaker 1: out there, they're still the same people that's outside. Then
Speaker 1: as I'm going to my car, now it's young people
Speaker 1: out there looking like they're getting ready to get into
Speaker 1: a fight. And I'm worried about straight But so I
Speaker 1: I all I'm saying. And by the way, just so
Speaker 1: everybody knows, because I know they're gonna say, well, you
Speaker 1: want to defund the police. It was cops everywhere. They're
Speaker 1: not doing nothing nothing. Nobody was doing nothing. The cops
Speaker 1: ain't doing nothing. Nobody's helping the mentally ill people. The
Speaker 1: people is over there, the cop cars sitting down here
Speaker 1: here on the phone, he's texting, he's hanging out, he's chilling.
Speaker 1: And the people, the the person that's on the ground,
Speaker 1: uh having an attack, half dressed, no shoes on their feet.
Speaker 1: They're right there. So the cops ain't doing nothing about that.
Speaker 1: The kids that's fighting the cops was right there. There's
Speaker 1: a precinct nearby. All of this stuff that's happening still
Speaker 1: right there and with the police sitting in the middle
Speaker 1: of it, in the community, So that can't possibly be
Speaker 1: the solution. Yeah, it's it's it's really bad, you know.
Speaker 1: And and I don't know why they think giving more
Speaker 1: police like we have to have none to health facilities.
Speaker 1: There needs to be people that are going into these
Speaker 1: training stations, going into certain areas and and you know,
Speaker 1: really interacting and getting these people through services and bringing
Speaker 1: them to the facilities and like figuring out how to
Speaker 1: help these people. Because locking them up and saying get
Speaker 1: out of here so they can go to down the
Speaker 1: block and you know and do whatever it is, it's
Speaker 1: not helping, you know, It's I see what you're saying.
Speaker 1: Trust me. I've watched a lot of mental health situation.
Speaker 1: Is a guy that that goes to the gym, and
Speaker 1: sometimes when he's not at the gym, I just see
Speaker 1: him walking through the hood and he'd just be talking
Speaker 1: to himself and shaking his head and he'd be doing
Speaker 1: this little dance he does. Like he's stopping the middle
Speaker 1: of street and he going to gym and he's talking
Speaker 1: to himself the whole time. He don't say nothing. He's
Speaker 1: kind of brawlic too, and it's just like he's in
Speaker 1: his own world. He doesn't look like he's harming nobody,
Speaker 1: but you definitely know that he's dealing with issues. And
Speaker 1: it's like, where's his home with his people? And he
Speaker 1: looks like, I don't even know he I don't know
Speaker 1: if he has a membership. They just let him in.
Speaker 1: It's just the weirdest thing, man, just watching how these things,
Speaker 1: how you know how certain people are dealing with things
Speaker 1: and our community aren't doing anything that doesn't have anything
Speaker 1: in place to help them. Listen, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: weird things are head and you're right, we don't have enough.
Speaker 1: It's not enough. And I feel like I'm sitting overre
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a big baby. I just want to
Speaker 1: start crying, like in the midst of this damn interview,
Speaker 1: because that's I grew up born and raised in Harlem.
Speaker 1: It's my place, and when I start feeling uncomfortable in
Speaker 1: my place, there's a problem. There's a problem. And I
Speaker 1: guess a part of it is that we have to
Speaker 1: be uncomfortable so we can start read grounding ourselves and
Speaker 1: going back to these places and these experiences and figuring
Speaker 1: out what's next. So it makes me and I've I've
Speaker 1: already done it. I sent several text messages to different
Speaker 1: people in the city like, bro, like what what what
Speaker 1: is going on here? Like? How are we gonna get
Speaker 1: to a better place? We can't just keep saying we're
Speaker 1: working on it. There has to be some actual, like
Speaker 1: real ship to happen. And these people that are out
Speaker 1: there on the streets, I never forget seeing, you know,
Speaker 1: over the years, how many of the people I've watched
Speaker 1: go from the very projects I grew up in to
Speaker 1: those streets looking the same way going you know, drugs,
Speaker 1: mental health, prostitution, all these things. And I know for
Speaker 1: sure that if there was services at the end the projects, right,
Speaker 1: if there were real services, and I'm not talking about
Speaker 1: miss Mary. Then when you go to talk to miss Mary,
Speaker 1: she like, white what you want? I don't know what's
Speaker 1: your problem? Where where is your husband? When where is
Speaker 1: your baby? Father? Or another one got locked up? Because
Speaker 1: that's how they speak to you. Oftentimes, when you go
Speaker 1: to social services, when you go to UH, when you
Speaker 1: go to to any place, the damn precinct, the wherever
Speaker 1: you're trying to get help, the people there treat you
Speaker 1: like you're the problem and like they work they somehow
Speaker 1: you work for them, or you're doing them a disservice
Speaker 1: by coming to them with the problem that they're supposed
Speaker 1: to be fixing. If we have services at the project's level,
Speaker 1: how many of the friends that I've had, all the
Speaker 1: people that I know, would never have made it to
Speaker 1: those streets. And it's like it's such a simple problem
Speaker 1: to address. I'm not saying it's a simple problem to fix,
Speaker 1: but it's a simple problem to address. We know how
Speaker 1: to do it, and we just choose not to. And
Speaker 1: it's just, you know, I'm just I'm over people and
Speaker 1: they're asked me like, oh, why didn't you weigh in
Speaker 1: more on this last election? You didn't do this, and
Speaker 1: you didn't do that. I just ain't feeling it. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna lie, just I'm not feeling it. And I
Speaker 1: understand Mice, I get it, it's dangerous. I get the
Speaker 1: people that we were up against, I get I get,
Speaker 1: I understand it all. But I'm still I'm struggling with
Speaker 1: looking at these reality of these and trying to go
Speaker 1: vote for people that the same ship continues. So anyway,
Speaker 1: moving along in Texas, speaking of people who are nuts
Speaker 1: in Texas, do you know that they now have a
Speaker 1: DNA test that can be used to test the bodies
Speaker 1: of people in mass shootings? Like yo, bro, Instead of
Speaker 1: getting in since that of figuring out, they gotta a
Speaker 1: DNA test that is, it can be used now to
Speaker 1: find your loved ones in a mass shooting. So instead
Speaker 1: of getting rid of the guns that's too well, not
Speaker 1: getting rid of limiting access to the weapons that are
Speaker 1: used to kill the people, they got a DNA test
Speaker 1: that you can find the people after they die. So
Speaker 1: they figured out a way that they're gonna profit off
Speaker 1: the mass you because the only reason you would need
Speaker 1: that DNA test is if a mass you wouldn't happen.
Speaker 1: So that means that they are actually telling you we're
Speaker 1: gonna make sure that these mass shootings keep going on. No,
Speaker 1: don't say that, that's what What do you mean. They're
Speaker 1: not trying to make sure they keep going on. They
Speaker 1: just ain't trying to do anything about them. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. We well, we even if we're not
Speaker 1: gonna make sure, we're not gonna stop them from going on.
Speaker 1: So we know they're gonna continue to go on. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna know we're gonna need these DNA tests, so
Speaker 1: we're gonna accommodate the mask killing, and we're gonna make
Speaker 1: it easier for you to find your loved one. Make
Speaker 1: sure it's easier for you because mass killer is gonna
Speaker 1: keep happening because we ain't gonna do nothing but this gun.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna make sure that when they happen, we
Speaker 1: got you. We make sure you know who's your loved one.
Speaker 1: Amongst the caucus. It's a shame, and it's it's it's
Speaker 1: like he said, day you always say there's so many
Speaker 1: things going on as crazy. It's like you could be
Speaker 1: just like this all day. It's over simulation. That's why
Speaker 1: you can't be being on internet. But and another thing
Speaker 1: is that, um lord and mercy, the b bls, honey,
Speaker 1: the b b LS, the b BL. BBL is a
Speaker 1: big deal, right. And there was a time when a
Speaker 1: lot of people didn't get them because they were killing people.
Speaker 1: I mean really like a lot of people dying. But
Speaker 1: now it's not as much in terms of casualties. They
Speaker 1: get them done. But good work. It's a new problem.
Speaker 1: And and and there's a woman that they've been pasted
Speaker 1: circulating on. Her story has been circulating on social media
Speaker 1: where it's been several weeks now, where she went to
Speaker 1: go get a b b L and they took her kidneys.
Speaker 1: Like yo, bro, I never even thought about that. I've
Speaker 1: never even all about that. Obviously, I've never had a BBL,
Speaker 1: but I have been under the knife for different reasons.
Speaker 1: And I can tell you that, um I never thought
Speaker 1: that about when I go to sleep, could they take
Speaker 1: my organ? That's crazy? They only took one. They said
Speaker 1: they took one kid. Okay, well they took one of
Speaker 1: her kidney, well ship one? Oh well thanks, you know what.
Speaker 1: That was nice of them. They left her with one kid.
Speaker 1: But Oregon Oregan, what is it like stealing? That's not
Speaker 1: the word, it's an actual term for it. But oregon harvesting,
Speaker 1: oregan harvesting, illegal organ harvesting is it's massive, Like there's
Speaker 1: a whole lot of money in people getting people's organs.
Speaker 1: I watched a movie one time about it with this
Speaker 1: woman like her husband found her heart, but and she
Speaker 1: was all kind of like the whole time, She's like, bro, like,
Speaker 1: I don't know where you got this hard from. I've
Speaker 1: been on the list now for you know, ten years
Speaker 1: or whatever time, and all of a sudden, you pop
Speaker 1: up with this heart. Come to find out, a woman
Speaker 1: in their same community went missing, and when they finally
Speaker 1: found her, her heart had been removed, and the lady
Speaker 1: ended up connecting it and figured out that her husband
Speaker 1: paid these people to go take the lady's heart, to
Speaker 1: kill the lady and steal her heart to save his wife.
Speaker 1: That it's like, it's a real thing. It's a real thing.
Speaker 1: So anyway, people need to be real careful and and
Speaker 1: I'm gladden it this supposedly happened in the Dominican Republic.
Speaker 1: But it's good for those stories to come out because
Speaker 1: it makes you think twice, like are you sure that
Speaker 1: this is something that you have to do for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: because these things can happen to you. It's like I said,
Speaker 1: may not be dying as much, but these bad jobs
Speaker 1: and these oversized asses. Who yo. I was walking and
Speaker 1: the supermarket one day and the lady walked asked me,
Speaker 1: and her ass was so big, her back looked like
Speaker 1: it was falling down on the ground. Her ask was crazy,
Speaker 1: but she had all kinds of shots. Her lips were
Speaker 1: stretched it. I said, this is really it's tough out here. Man.
Speaker 1: They out here that though y'all love them, that's why
Speaker 1: they get done as we don't. That's not that's not
Speaker 1: actual factual. And we're trying to we've been trying to
Speaker 1: tell women. There's a lot of men out here saying
Speaker 1: is you're going too far, you're doing too much. It's
Speaker 1: not working. It doesn't look good. If you've got two
Speaker 1: basketballs as an ass and your your legs look like
Speaker 1: you know, number two pencils is not working. You look
Speaker 1: like a man. You know. If you're out here and
Speaker 1: your eyelashes from here to here is you look like
Speaker 1: you know. But they're doing it because somebody likes doing it.
Speaker 1: Because they're confused. There's a confused like I don't know
Speaker 1: what you like they are. I mean their jobs they
Speaker 1: are bbls that certain women good and they were, oh
Speaker 1: sh this should look good. It's proportionate, you know, it's voluptuous.
Speaker 1: It works. But there's certain ones that you don't even
Speaker 1: know what they think is what's going on in their
Speaker 1: minds and you gotta act you don't even I don't
Speaker 1: even know the dude that is sitting there like yeah
Speaker 1: that should when you show them, like this's what I'm
Speaker 1: getting there, like yeah, that's get that one, like I
Speaker 1: want to know to do that's sitting there that's authorizing
Speaker 1: some of these works. Now, that's like make it big.
Speaker 1: They like big booties. The surgeries I'm saying, some of
Speaker 1: these surgeries don't even look like they paid for. They
Speaker 1: look like somebody volunteered. Like they're going to the volatiers.
Speaker 1: They're going to the volunteer on the job training. They're like,
Speaker 1: you're listening, you know how you can do certain things,
Speaker 1: and they're like, we're gonna have the needs do things,
Speaker 1: so they give it to you for free. It's certain
Speaker 1: things that you know, haircuts and all that you can
Speaker 1: go to certain to get free haircuts because they got
Speaker 1: to do the experiment on you, and you just gotta
Speaker 1: take what he gets, so you can't be mad. So
Speaker 1: I think a lot of these bbls is in those services.
Speaker 1: Like the dude he trying to become a surgeon. He
Speaker 1: never did nothing. He said, Yo, you signed over a
Speaker 1: waiver if you die. You know, just understand, this is
Speaker 1: fresh new people, and they're giving bbls to people something
Speaker 1: in the US. Not in the US when they go
Speaker 1: out of the country, that's true. But in the US
Speaker 1: you gotta kind of have Simpsons. George Simpson, he just
Speaker 1: came up with the streets. He was smoking weed. He's like,
Speaker 1: you know what, I want to be a doctor. And
Speaker 1: he's taking the online course and some of these changes
Speaker 1: in volatiers to let George said Simpson, when they were
Speaker 1: letting those women in their basements give them them shots.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to tell you, bazy though, like wow, Like
Speaker 1: I get it, I get it. We also look good.
Speaker 1: We wanna, you know, look good, but you look So
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. That's why you defeating the purpose,
Speaker 1: because you actually want to look good and that's what
Speaker 1: you want to do. Then this ain't it anyway, we've
Speaker 1: got a guess, A good guess, so guess for the ages.
Speaker 1: I'm so because I've been interviewed by her so many
Speaker 1: times and admire her. She's a good friend of mine.
Speaker 1: Now I get to ask some questions I'm trying to
Speaker 1: give my you know, let's get into it right now.
Speaker 1: That's so, here we go again, Mr Lennon, with our friends. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, this is a special friend though, for for us,
Speaker 1: for me, I remember some time ago, years ago, now,

Speaker 1: me and to Mika our friends, I'm definitely not her into.
Speaker 1: I looked at her like to see what's going on.
Speaker 1: And I appreciate when you guys, both you and my
Speaker 1: son pulled me into things and conversations that are important.
Speaker 1: So I look to y'all for that. Yeah, well listen, man,
Speaker 1: you know, I've known you for years and just admired
Speaker 1: your growth from you know, I remember doing a lip
Speaker 1: service years ago. I'm just watching before Breakfast Club, before
Speaker 1: all these things, and you know, just watching you just
Speaker 1: mature into just badass. You know what I'm saying, Just
Speaker 1: doing all the things that you're doing. So I just
Speaker 1: want to say that I'm proud of you and I
Speaker 1: love what you've evolved into. So I want to say
Speaker 1: that first, well, thank you all you guys. So you
Speaker 1: are definitely badass. And when I say the mentorship thing,
Speaker 1: like you were the first person that started telling me,
Speaker 1: listen to this, like bags and shoes is cool, but
Speaker 1: we need to buy real estate. You've gotta get investments.
Speaker 1: And while I have not necessarily gotten into real estate
Speaker 1: like the way that I want to, I've been investing
Speaker 1: in things like plays um and just other important moves
Speaker 1: that I'm trying to make. But you helped me to see,
Speaker 1: like there is a whole financial literacy side that us
Speaker 1: fool girls have to be focused on. It's not just
Speaker 1: what's on us. It's like, you know what's in our
Speaker 1: bank accounts, what we're putting into our minds, investing in ourselves,
Speaker 1: and you really want the first people to start talking
Speaker 1: to me about it. So that is mentorship. And it's
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with the fact that in life, each one
Speaker 1: of us we take moments when we bring our skill stuff.
Speaker 1: That's what friendships are about. And I always say, we
Speaker 1: have this statement. If you can't be used, you're useless, right, Like,
Speaker 1: you're useless, right, Like everybody needs to be able to
Speaker 1: use their friends, but in a positive way and give back.
Speaker 1: And that's the problem. So many people want. I'm sure
Speaker 1: you have people around you that want, but then they
Speaker 1: don't want to pour back in. Yeah, and at some
Speaker 1: point you gotta take a spectability for who you're around too,
Speaker 1: because you know, as that whole for me one shame
Speaker 1: on you, for me twice shame on me type of situation, right,
Speaker 1: And I do say that too. I feel like when
Speaker 1: it comes to friendships, I need to have people around
Speaker 1: me who are smarter than me at other things. So
Speaker 1: it might be things that I bring to the table,
Speaker 1: but then there's things that somebody else brings to the table.
Speaker 1: Then I'm like, well, I never thought about that. And
Speaker 1: also people who aren't like, oh, you shouldn't do that,
Speaker 1: that's not gonna work, or let's figure out how we
Speaker 1: can make this work, or let me introduce you to
Speaker 1: this person. And I feel like sometimes and I never
Speaker 1: used to think this until recently, but friendships do have
Speaker 1: to be sometimes intentional, right, where you meet somebody or
Speaker 1: you see somebody and You're like, that looks like an
Speaker 1: amazing person that I should know and I would like
Speaker 1: to get to know better because I feel like and
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. Sometimes it's not a friendship
Speaker 1: but more like a relationship that you feel like this
Speaker 1: is something that could mutually benefit both of us. But
Speaker 1: you know that is something that I feel like I've
Speaker 1: learned later in life is important because a lot of
Speaker 1: times we feel really an obligation to stay around the
Speaker 1: same people that we've been around. You don't want to
Speaker 1: feel like you changed up. You want to say, Okay,
Speaker 1: I know this person for X y Z, even if
Speaker 1: they're not growing away that you're growing, or even if
Speaker 1: they're a negative part of your life and every time
Speaker 1: you're talking to them it's like, oh, that's just dragging
Speaker 1: me down. You still feel this obligation where you don't
Speaker 1: want to feel like you're leaving somebody behind. But sometimes
Speaker 1: for your own sanity, if that person is not good
Speaker 1: for you, then you don't need to be around them.
Speaker 1: You can be cool from a distance. Wow. So I mean,
Speaker 1: I know so much about just being around you and
Speaker 1: knowing about your career and just seeing it, but I
Speaker 1: don't I don't think I've ever really heard like the beginning,
Speaker 1: like what was where did you start? Where did you
Speaker 1: come from? Like I want to get a little background.
Speaker 1: I want to interview you because you're used the interviewing
Speaker 1: everybody else asking the good questions and the top one.
Speaker 1: So I want to know that, like where did you
Speaker 1: stomp as a little girl? Like, give me a little background. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm from Brooklyn. I'm from flat Bush, and so my
Speaker 1: parents growing up, they were married from when I you know,
Speaker 1: they got married, they had my brother. Um, my mom
Speaker 1: was actually pregnant when they got married, and then they
Speaker 1: had me right after. So my brothers like a year
Speaker 1: and three months older than me, So they had us
Speaker 1: kind of back to back. And we grew up in
Speaker 1: flat Bush to family house. My grandparents lived downstairs. My
Speaker 1: grandparents are from the island montrat and my mom, my brother,
Speaker 1: and I, UM, and my dad lived upstairs. And so
Speaker 1: I grew up like having to go to church in
Speaker 1: Harlem every single week because my grandfather and my grandmother
Speaker 1: were super religious. Um, they moved back to the West Indies,
Speaker 1: left the house from my mom and my dad and
Speaker 1: me and my brother, so we ended up staying there
Speaker 1: and the reason why we moved out of Brooklyn to
Speaker 1: New Jersey to Southarns when I was fifteen years old
Speaker 1: was because somebody tried to rob my dad at gunpoint
Speaker 1: while he was walking a dog, and so he was like,
Speaker 1: we gotta get out of here, and so we ended
Speaker 1: up moving to New Jersey and I was like so depressed.
Speaker 1: But um, that's you know. I grew up going to
Speaker 1: public school from kindergarten to sixth grade PS. Two thirty
Speaker 1: five in Broklyn, Learning is Alive. And then I ended
Speaker 1: up going to private school. I went to Polly Prep
Speaker 1: because my mom went to Erasmus and she really didn't
Speaker 1: want me going to Erasmus. So they put me in
Speaker 1: this program for underprivileged kids that were really smart and
Speaker 1: we had to take like all these tests to get
Speaker 1: in and then they sent me to private school. M hm,
Speaker 1: to private school. Yeah, so you you I went to
Speaker 1: private school as well. Do you and so you lived
Speaker 1: in the community or do you feel like you lived
Speaker 1: so like on the outskirl or did you live like
Speaker 1: in the urban areas where the ship was going down?
Speaker 1: Oh it was going down. I mean I lived in Flappwershs,
Speaker 1: like two blocks him serious to anybody who knows that
Speaker 1: neighborhood in Brooklyn Um, it was definitely going. It was
Speaker 1: like block parties on the block every year, so much fun.
Speaker 1: But you know, gunshots at night, you to hear them.
Speaker 1: You know, fireworks random times all the time. But I
Speaker 1: grew up there, so you don't think of things as
Speaker 1: like this is not a good neighborhood or a good
Speaker 1: place to be. This is all you know, and so
Speaker 1: when I was growing up, it really was all I knew.
Speaker 1: And then people would be there, you that where you
Speaker 1: grew up, where they couldn't believe it, but it was
Speaker 1: I had the same experience because it was like, you know,
Speaker 1: going to Catholic school and doing all of these things
Speaker 1: outside of the community. When I would come back, do
Speaker 1: you feel like people did you get picked on or
Speaker 1: did you feel awkward because you were getting these to
Speaker 1: this sort of dual experience. I would say that growing up,
Speaker 1: I was perfectly finding my neighbor It wasn't until I
Speaker 1: left to go to private school that I felt awkward.
Speaker 1: When I was in seventh grade and I went from
Speaker 1: an experience of being in a community with all black
Speaker 1: people a lot of Caribbean culture. There you know Haitian
Speaker 1: Guyanese trainage and making all of that around us. And
Speaker 1: then I moved. Well, no, then I would to private school,
Speaker 1: and I had never I really did not. I knew
Speaker 1: two white people before that, besides my teachers. They were
Speaker 1: twins and their mom was a teacher at the school.
Speaker 1: And other than that, I did not know any white
Speaker 1: kids until I went to private school. And these were
Speaker 1: not just like regularly. These were kind of rich and
Speaker 1: they rich and you have to think that neighborhood is like,
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of Italian people. It was
Speaker 1: all like Italian Jewish. There was some Greek students and
Speaker 1: and so it was definitely a culture shock for me.
Speaker 1: And they weren't used to us either. So there's a
Speaker 1: handful of black kids. It's a small school, and it
Speaker 1: was just it was a weird experience for me. I
Speaker 1: actually only went there. I went there from seventh grade
Speaker 1: to ninth grade, and I was like, I can't do
Speaker 1: this anymore. It was really bad. And I as a
Speaker 1: question real quick one you said, if you had a baby,
Speaker 1: would you do the same thing that your parents did
Speaker 1: with you in terms of education. I would want my
Speaker 1: kids to go to a school that's more diverse, you know.
Speaker 1: I feel like it had its benefits as far as
Speaker 1: smaller classes and then sports. Polly Prep had a great
Speaker 1: sports program. I mean we had tennis courts, we had
Speaker 1: you know, squash courts, we had soccer field. I played
Speaker 1: field hockey, I ran track, I played basketball. I did
Speaker 1: the long jump, the triple jump, the high jump, and
Speaker 1: so all of that physical activity was great because I
Speaker 1: don't feel like I was encouraged to do that when
Speaker 1: I was in public school, but I feel like they were.
Speaker 1: So we had to play a sport. It was no choice,
Speaker 1: you had to. And so I got really into sports
Speaker 1: and I enjoyed and I appreciated that. I appreciated the
Speaker 1: smaller classes and the electives and the attention that the
Speaker 1: teachers gave you, because I feel like in public school
Speaker 1: I had most of the teachers that I had were
Speaker 1: not amazing. I had a few that stood out, but
Speaker 1: I had teachers who told me I wasn't gonna be shipped,
Speaker 1: you know, when I was and that didn't really happen
Speaker 1: in private school. I had one teacher that was like,
Speaker 1: you think when I was in the program, she was like,
Speaker 1: you think you're so special because you're in this program,
Speaker 1: You're not gonna be anything. And I really feel like
Speaker 1: it has to be a balance though, because culturally it
Speaker 1: was tough. I think about some of the black kids
Speaker 1: that went to my high school that never went to
Speaker 1: public school or we're not around a lot of kids
Speaker 1: that look like them, and just how sheltered that life
Speaker 1: was and how different it can be. And so I
Speaker 1: do think it's important. I always say, a lot of
Speaker 1: people will be like super pro black, but then they
Speaker 1: send their kids to school where the kids are the
Speaker 1: only black kids in the whole school, And I don't
Speaker 1: know who you think your kids are gonna wind up
Speaker 1: being with later in life if they're never exposed, you know,
Speaker 1: to anything else. So there's just got to be some
Speaker 1: type of balance. I think that you can find schools
Speaker 1: that are more diverse and it doesn't have to be
Speaker 1: like because we were in the middle of Bay Ridge
Speaker 1: and it was a lot of racist things. I mean
Speaker 1: a lot of it came out in the news, but
Speaker 1: a lot of racist things happened, and it was a
Speaker 1: tough environment to be in. I think I was fortunate
Speaker 1: that I had the background that I had, where I
Speaker 1: knew who I was and how I grew up and
Speaker 1: I had my own friends outside of that. But if
Speaker 1: I would have just grew up in that bubble. I
Speaker 1: remember one of the white girls at school telling me,
Speaker 1: you know, she said something racist in the locker room,
Speaker 1: and I was like, well, you know, I'm black, and
Speaker 1: she was like, well, yeah, but you're not like them.
Speaker 1: And I just after that, I was like, I gotta
Speaker 1: get out of here. There must have been an experienced.
Speaker 1: So you went, you left that school, and then you
Speaker 1: went towards school. So then I went to public school.
Speaker 1: I went back to public school in Jersey. I went
Speaker 1: to Columbia High School in Maplewood, and I was Jennifer Williams. Yes,
Speaker 1: you know, so I moved there in tenth grade and
Speaker 1: so yeah, we have a mutual friend Jennifer. You don't
Speaker 1: know her from basketball wives. So when I moved to
Speaker 1: New Jersey, and it was I'm gonna tell you, when
Speaker 1: I moved there, I did not know now one person.
Speaker 1: And so I remember the Davy moved. I walked around
Speaker 1: the neighborhood and I was in the park. I just
Speaker 1: started crying. I was so sad and depressed, like where
Speaker 1: am I didn't have any idea how far it was.
Speaker 1: I really had never other than going to visit my
Speaker 1: grandparents in the West indiast, I had never really left Brooklyn,
Speaker 1: you know, so I didn't know. I don't even think
Speaker 1: I knew anything about New Jersey. I didn't comprehend like
Speaker 1: I could get on the train and go right back
Speaker 1: to Brooklyn. I just thought I was cut off from
Speaker 1: everything and everybody. And so the first day of school,
Speaker 1: I didn't know the teachers were on strike, and so
Speaker 1: I get to the school, all the teachers are outside picketing,
Speaker 1: so I can't even like register for classes. So they
Speaker 1: had us all sitting in the auditorium watching roots all day.
Speaker 1: That was my first day in school. Yeah, nothing got done.
Speaker 1: And then they just put me in a random home
Speaker 1: room and we just sat in home room all day.
Speaker 1: And that was the beginning of my school year. And
Speaker 1: then that's how I met all Like I really kind
Speaker 1: of met all of my friends who I'm still friends
Speaker 1: and to this day kind of been that first week
Speaker 1: of you know, non school. Jennifer was one of them. Wow,
Speaker 1: that's what made you? How did you get to do
Speaker 1: what you do and say I want to be a host,
Speaker 1: I want to do radio, Like, what inspired you to
Speaker 1: do that? Well, I actually never thought I would be
Speaker 1: doing this. I was always more of a background type
Speaker 1: of person. So I wanted to be a writer. I
Speaker 1: wanted to I was doing marketing at the time, so
Speaker 1: I was doing freelance marketing for different companies, and then
Speaker 1: I started working for Eminem's clothing line and I was
Speaker 1: doing marketing for that and then I saw that, Um
Speaker 1: one day, I was just like, let me look at
Speaker 1: this jobs listing because I had to figure out what
Speaker 1: I needed to do. I had to get like a
Speaker 1: stable situation to make money to pay my bills, and
Speaker 1: so I was like, let me figure out what I
Speaker 1: want to do. So I look at all these job
Speaker 1: listings and I see Serious has a job opening in
Speaker 1: the marketing department, and so I called Paul Rosenberg as
Speaker 1: manager and I'm like, hey, I really want to, um,
Speaker 1: you know, try to get an interview. Can you just
Speaker 1: link me up with the interview? And he was like,
Speaker 1: have you ever thought about being a radio personality. They're
Speaker 1: looking for a co host on Cide the Sounds morning show,
Speaker 1: and he was like, you can audition for that if
Speaker 1: you're interested. And that's really how it happened. So you
Speaker 1: were going for a marketing job and then oh, I
Speaker 1: thought you were like very intentional about being a host.
Speaker 1: So that was it just happened. And I, when I
Speaker 1: tell you, I knew not a thing. I walked in
Speaker 1: there first. Cype for Sounds had no idea what was
Speaker 1: going on. He was kind of blindsided to when I
Speaker 1: just showed up, like he was like, who is what?
Speaker 1: He knew me? You know, because I actually had a
Speaker 1: lot of great relationships. I had worked for Woutang, Like
Speaker 1: I said, I had been working for Eminem. I was
Speaker 1: doing marketing for different brands like UM, the marketing company
Speaker 1: I was at. They did marketing for aver Rex, for Sprint,
Speaker 1: UM Wireless, for the New York Liberty, for Heineken. So
Speaker 1: I was familiar with so many people in the industry.
Speaker 1: And I was also like a party kid growing up.
Speaker 1: So I was always at the tunnel. I was always
Speaker 1: at the palladium, I was at grants, tomb, I was
Speaker 1: at all of the events in this so listen, I
Speaker 1: was no Now, I was super outside. I was like
Speaker 1: I had an itinerary, you know what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 1: the night here, Ursday night here, Friday night here, Saturday
Speaker 1: and I was outside and they all knew me in
Speaker 1: the clubs, like I didn't have to wait on any lines,
Speaker 1: and I was young. It wasn't like I had any
Speaker 1: real whatever. But you know, jess A c Rosse and
Speaker 1: Bloom knew me, and so anything she did, she was like, Angela,
Speaker 1: come to this. We're having something for you know, biggie thing.
Speaker 1: His mom is putting together the foundation, like come, and
Speaker 1: so they would just invite me to everything. And already
Speaker 1: you was tapped into the culture. So it's not like
Speaker 1: it was this new phase, but radio was different. Tell
Speaker 1: me something though, when you say you were doing marketing,
Speaker 1: what did marketing look like at that time? And you know,
Speaker 1: you go around, Yeah, you're laughing because you know, like
Speaker 1: what did it look like? What were you doing? Well,
Speaker 1: depending on what the client was. So let's just say
Speaker 1: I did marketing for a couple of clothing rot lines,
Speaker 1: Varsity and Shot Brothers, and then also um Shady Limited.
Speaker 1: Eminem's line was one of my clients, and so basically
Speaker 1: that consisted of a lot of product placement because everybody
Speaker 1: wanted to get their stuff like in magazine shoots and
Speaker 1: videos just to get people wearing it. If you were
Speaker 1: going on tour, I might send you a package, try
Speaker 1: to get you to you know, get photographed in the clothing.
Speaker 1: And so that was a huge part of it, was
Speaker 1: the product placement. But then it would be like ads,
Speaker 1: you know, and how are we gonna get write ups
Speaker 1: about this? So it was it just kind of involved everything.
Speaker 1: And then now Rogers he had a distribution label, so
Speaker 1: I was doing marketing for there. He had this one
Speaker 1: hip hop group that he wanted me to help him with,
Speaker 1: and so that was a matter of getting them, like
Speaker 1: they wanted me to get them into events, get them none,
Speaker 1: get them some link ups with some journalists. So it
Speaker 1: was things like that, and so I think nowadays it's
Speaker 1: completely different. It's very different. It's very that was the
Speaker 1: real mark didn't work you were doing, Yes, you had
Speaker 1: to have relationships, dream just have to be on the
Speaker 1: internet and just send some music that was already gone.
Speaker 1: You had to really create it. So you went from
Speaker 1: you started working with Cyper Sounds and then when did
Speaker 1: you start doing little service? How did that come up?
Speaker 1: So I used to have this segment on on Cypher
Speaker 1: Sounds show. It was every Wednesday. So what I would
Speaker 1: do is I would record it once a month and
Speaker 1: it would be like a group of girls, you know.
Speaker 1: One of them was a receptionist, one of them was
Speaker 1: a lawyer, and I would just get like different girls.
Speaker 1: We had Buffy the Body on there, we had had
Speaker 1: the Hunter, and we would just kind of talk about sex.
Speaker 1: And it was called let It Out. It was a
Speaker 1: segment once a week. But I had a reason, you know,
Speaker 1: for that name, like you know, have some like It
Speaker 1: was kind of like the thought was that a lot
Speaker 1: of times guys think that women are supposed to act
Speaker 1: a certain way and not talk about things, but the
Speaker 1: way we are behind closed doors with each other and
Speaker 1: the conversations that we have are really just open, and
Speaker 1: we're so vocal about things. I think women talk about
Speaker 1: their experiences in a different way than men speak to
Speaker 1: each other. Y'all might not even talk about it like that,
Speaker 1: but I think for women, like when you're with a
Speaker 1: guy and whatever happens, you'll call your friends to be like, girl,
Speaker 1: so let me tell you what he did and I
Speaker 1: don't like that he did this, and then he did that.
Speaker 1: But so it was kind of the goal of the
Speaker 1: show was for us to have these open conversations about
Speaker 1: sex and sexuality no judgment, and I called it let
Speaker 1: it Out because I was like, these guys don't know
Speaker 1: they're getting slut it out. So that was kind of
Speaker 1: the purpose of it. No offense, my son, but you know,
Speaker 1: I'm kidding. But the segment got so popular that um
Speaker 1: you know, Sorious came to me and they were like, listen, Angela,
Speaker 1: we think you should make this like a standalone show.
Speaker 1: We want to give you a weekly show. And that's
Speaker 1: how it had happened, and we named the Lip Service
Speaker 1: and my first co host was um Lea Rose. She
Speaker 1: was the music editor at Double X out and so
Speaker 1: she was great at helping book guests and she was
Speaker 1: really smart and she had great questions and people had
Speaker 1: good relationships with her already. Well, so what year was that.
Speaker 1: What year did the start? I don't even know. Let
Speaker 1: me see, I worked at Serious for six years and
Speaker 1: so uh it was company like around two thousand six
Speaker 1: or seven. That's yeah, I remember, because I think I
Speaker 1: came up there like two thousand and eight, two thousand
Speaker 1: nine were Lad That was like the first song that
Speaker 1: I went there. So I feel like I put I
Speaker 1: did last first interview on the radio ever. Remember where
Speaker 1: Yeah it was you did the first interview. So then
Speaker 1: so now we're going were at the breakfast club? Did
Speaker 1: we get there yet? Okay, so what happened before the
Speaker 1: breakfast club? So I think serious was really good for me,
Speaker 1: just as far as establishing myself. Um, Like my son
Speaker 1: said that I met him, he was you know, he
Speaker 1: was working with Black probably met you before that, but
Speaker 1: I did last first interviewer, and I was the type
Speaker 1: of person like something would happen because that was around
Speaker 1: the time he had the beef with Rick Ross, you know,
Speaker 1: and then he had some issues, and I think I
Speaker 1: was just so like doing whatever at that time. I
Speaker 1: would do stuff like glad here. I'd be like, well,
Speaker 1: we got Joe Button on the phone, and it would
Speaker 1: be and he would be like what totally caught up
Speaker 1: like the time. Yeah. So I was very uncensored back then,
Speaker 1: but it got a lot of attention. And one thing
Speaker 1: I also did do early on, I was really um
Speaker 1: cool with Q from world Star, who owned world Star.
Speaker 1: Rest in peace to Q, and so I had he
Speaker 1: would put a lot of my videos on World Star,
Speaker 1: so I would I had um. One of the guys
Speaker 1: that worked with us, Sean, he would film. I bought
Speaker 1: my own camcorder and so he would film when we
Speaker 1: did interviews. That Serious was so mad about it. They
Speaker 1: send out like a company wide email like knowing us
Speaker 1: to put out any content or whatever. They shut it
Speaker 1: down because they didn't like that I was giving away
Speaker 1: content for free. I looked at it like, these are
Speaker 1: just little parts of the show that will make people
Speaker 1: want to subscribe to me. It was like, in my
Speaker 1: marketing bag, I'm thinking, this is great marketing for the show.
Speaker 1: This is just you know, thirty minutes out of a
Speaker 1: four hour show. You should want this to go out.
Speaker 1: And it was getting picked up everywhere, you know, And
Speaker 1: so that's what really got me a lot of attention.
Speaker 1: So okay, so that doctor known, So how what's the
Speaker 1: what is the process of getting to a big show
Speaker 1: like the Breakfast Club? Like, how does that work when
Speaker 1: you interview? You know, did you know that the show
Speaker 1: was coming or did they build the show around y'all?
Speaker 1: How did they start? So what happened was, um, I
Speaker 1: was getting a lot of other authors like Philly Atlanta.
Speaker 1: People wanted me. And after after everything that was happening
Speaker 1: as Serious, I got a lot of attention from other places,
Speaker 1: and one person who hit me up was Jee Spen
Speaker 1: at the time worked at Power one oh five now
Speaker 1: at the time, he tried to get me to come
Speaker 1: to Power just to do like weekends and to fill
Speaker 1: in for people, like if somebody was out, you know,
Speaker 1: you could fill in, and Serious shut me down. And
Speaker 1: I was so mad. I was like, everyone else is
Speaker 1: working at other stations while you know, they were like,
Speaker 1: oh well they got grandfathered in and you can't do it.
Speaker 1: And I thought it was so unfair. So I told
Speaker 1: g Spin, Look, if there's an opportunity for me to
Speaker 1: get a full time job, don't think that I feel
Speaker 1: like I have to stay as serious, Like I'm willing
Speaker 1: to leave and do something else. And so, you know,
Speaker 1: there was an opportunity, and they didn't tell us what
Speaker 1: it was. At first, they knew they wanted to hire me,
Speaker 1: they just didn't know in what capacity, Like were they
Speaker 1: gonna put me on a day show and give me
Speaker 1: a show then? But then when they realized they were
Speaker 1: going to redo the whole morning show, they called me
Speaker 1: and being Charlotte Magne in together for a meeting. They
Speaker 1: had to talk to each of us individually, and then
Speaker 1: they called us in together to let us know that
Speaker 1: we were going to do the new morning show, and
Speaker 1: I literally had to sign a contract like that same day,
Speaker 1: and that's how it happened. So I had to have
Speaker 1: my lawyer look at it. I didn't sign. I was
Speaker 1: the last one to sign because I was like, I'm
Speaker 1: not just signing this, you know, And I had to
Speaker 1: have my lawyer look at it. And then I didn't
Speaker 1: get everything back until the evening. And so when the
Speaker 1: evening came and I had, you know, some responses, a
Speaker 1: little bit of back and forth, and then I finally
Speaker 1: um ended up signing. So you made sure that business
Speaker 1: was straight I will always do. You're very much business oriented,
Speaker 1: like that's and and and you said that, like you
Speaker 1: don't let these things stop you from moving, but you
Speaker 1: still are very very conscious of doing the business as well.
Speaker 1: Where did you you get that? You think that that
Speaker 1: came from your upbringing in terms of where you know,
Speaker 1: how you've been educated. I think it's me just seeing
Speaker 1: other people signed me step deals and feeling like I
Speaker 1: didn't want to do that, and so you know, it
Speaker 1: was easier for me to learn from the mistakes of others.
Speaker 1: And I've signed deals that I mean, I could think
Speaker 1: of one in particular that I never should have done,
Speaker 1: but sometimes you don't know what you don't know. But
Speaker 1: I'm also the type of person that will honor a
Speaker 1: deal that I signed. So if I did sign this deal,
Speaker 1: I honor it. And I always try to get like
Speaker 1: the shortest deal possible because I think when you have
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence in yourself and you know that okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not wanting to feel tied into something, then you
Speaker 1: know that a shorter deal is better because then it's
Speaker 1: you can renegotiate when it's time. And so I've always
Speaker 1: had a band of doing like a short Some people
Speaker 1: like longer deals for the stability of it, but I've
Speaker 1: always felt like I've laid down the groundwork that I
Speaker 1: could leave and I don't feel like I have to
Speaker 1: rely on any one thing, And I think that's an
Speaker 1: important way to feel. I never want to feel. Even
Speaker 1: if things wouldn't have worked out for me to go
Speaker 1: over to, you know, the breakfast club, I still had
Speaker 1: a job. It wasn't like I was, you know, didn't
Speaker 1: have anything or didn't have other opportunities. I had other
Speaker 1: places that I could have went. That was just the
Speaker 1: best one for me, and so I think it's good
Speaker 1: to feel like you have options and never feel like
Speaker 1: I have to do this or nothing. Ll So my question,
Speaker 1: like Breakfast Club is probably like one of the biggest
Speaker 1: shows in history in the world, Like has it always?
Speaker 1: Has it been fun? Hasn't been ups and downs? Like
Speaker 1: because when people look at it just from the outside looking,
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, well, look think I just think it show.
Speaker 1: They just don't like, what is your perspective? Has it been?
Speaker 1: Because it hasn't always been like the top show that
Speaker 1: was there turn more to relate that this show you
Speaker 1: ain't doing the numbers, like what is the behind the
Speaker 1: scenes kind of Oh it was awful at first. It
Speaker 1: almost didn't last. They didn't think that we were going
Speaker 1: to make it past like the year two, and so
Speaker 1: sometimes you do have to give things a chance and
Speaker 1: let it get over the hump. And we did have
Speaker 1: some people that believed in us. I think our online
Speaker 1: presence is what saved us too. We were really ahead
Speaker 1: of everything when it came to putting content online. We
Speaker 1: would do these little skits and so it really set
Speaker 1: the tone for us to also be syndicated because we
Speaker 1: were doing these It's so even if you weren't in
Speaker 1: New York, you were able to see what was happening.
Speaker 1: And things are different back then. It's not like we
Speaker 1: had streaming services. It's not like we had aps like
Speaker 1: we have them now. So if you weren't here, you
Speaker 1: just weren't gonna hear it. And so early on it
Speaker 1: was just people who did not think it was gonna
Speaker 1: work because it took a little while to find that
Speaker 1: rhythm to get the strike going. And I mean definitely
Speaker 1: being with people every single day. We did that show
Speaker 1: for twelve years, and they definitely were some ups and
Speaker 1: downs on everybody's behalf of people like not getting along
Speaker 1: with each other, and even not just the host, but
Speaker 1: also people behind the scenes. Um, you know, things have
Speaker 1: happened life. It was real life happening work. I mean
Speaker 1: there were times every and even nothing to do with us,
Speaker 1: but personally a lot of people have gone through things,
Speaker 1: you know where I mean at one point and he
Speaker 1: didn't think he was going to come back to the
Speaker 1: show at all while he was trying to deal with things,
Speaker 1: you know, in his home life, and so, um, you know,
Speaker 1: definitely a that we've gone through. But I also feel
Speaker 1: like as we all grow and change and hopefully become
Speaker 1: more mature and spread out into other businesses and things,
Speaker 1: work becomes the place where we see each other, not
Speaker 1: really outside of work. So sometimes that does help. You
Speaker 1: just have to figure out what's best, because I think
Speaker 1: it's an issue when I've had jobs when I was
Speaker 1: as serious where people hung out outside of that all
Speaker 1: the time, and sometimes that's not a good thing because
Speaker 1: then there's not that separation of work and you know,
Speaker 1: outside pleasure like life, and so sometimes you don't want that.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you want to feel like you're the producer. You
Speaker 1: tell us what to do, and I'm doing this, and
Speaker 1: I want to be able to speak up and not
Speaker 1: be in my feelings about the fact that we was
Speaker 1: all just hanging out last night. Now I gotta come
Speaker 1: here and switch up my role. And so I think
Speaker 1: that in certain situations, is it is a better thing
Speaker 1: to not have to be all friendly, chummy chumming with people.
Speaker 1: You have to stop established business boundaries, and it does.
Speaker 1: It makes it uncomfortable, you know, to speak up about
Speaker 1: business when you feel like you have a friendship with someone,
Speaker 1: because you don't want to hurt their feelings. You don't
Speaker 1: want to come home some way, so okay, And sometimes
Speaker 1: people take advantage of you too if they feel like
Speaker 1: we're friends, and so you'd be like, yo, I'm not
Speaker 1: coming covered from me, like just act like this, and
Speaker 1: you're like, damn, this messes everybody else up. And you know,
Speaker 1: so sometimes things just happened like that, because I've seen
Speaker 1: it happen in other jobs, even me being a business
Speaker 1: owner and seeing the issues that I have with some
Speaker 1: employees that get all friendly and hang out outside of work,
Speaker 1: and then how that affects the workplace environment. Sometimes it's
Speaker 1: not a good thing. That's why sometimes they'll tell you also,
Speaker 1: workplace relationships can be prohibited for whatever reason. So I
Speaker 1: have two questions, where did you develop this conflict? Being
Speaker 1: in on the radio requires you to have some confidence,
Speaker 1: you know, and and and even just doing this podcast,
Speaker 1: some days I'm like, Lord, did I say that right?
Speaker 1: You know, you can't go back and change it. It
Speaker 1: just is what it is. You might not know all
Speaker 1: the words you want to say. And and I'm embracing
Speaker 1: we're on this show. Would be like, what's the word?
Speaker 1: Let me figure out, Let me go figure it out.
Speaker 1: I used to think you had to know now I
Speaker 1: know that everything is a journey. We all learning together.
Speaker 1: We mess up, we fix it, we figure it out,
Speaker 1: and that's it. But but I didn't want to do
Speaker 1: street Politicians because I didn't want to put my um
Speaker 1: imperfections on display. Now I don't care, but at the
Speaker 1: time I really didn't want to do that. So that's
Speaker 1: one thing is where did you develop that confidence? And
Speaker 1: you feel like you just you have it now or
Speaker 1: is it still in process? And then the other thing
Speaker 1: is we all know that there's been challenges, challenges between
Speaker 1: you and Lenar. You know, I still quote I call
Speaker 1: him Lenard, but Charlemagne, you know issues on the show.
Speaker 1: How did it feel having to get up and go
Speaker 1: to work every day, especially prior to him apologize and
Speaker 1: to you publicly, and and you having to go there
Speaker 1: and be in the midst of that pain or whatever
Speaker 1: you felt. I don't want to, you know, give you words.
Speaker 1: How did you do that every day? Um So the
Speaker 1: first part of your question, I say that it was
Speaker 1: hard for me at first to do radio and not
Speaker 1: know things because you feel like I'm supposed to know everything,
Speaker 1: and it does take a while to figure out that.
Speaker 1: It makes you know, it's relatable. Everybody doesn't know everything,
Speaker 1: no matter what's your job. There's no person in the
Speaker 1: world that does. And sometimes you mess up. The best
Speaker 1: thing to do is acknowledge that you mess up, or
Speaker 1: even just say I don't know. Sometimes it's hard for
Speaker 1: us to just say I don't know. And I even
Speaker 1: felt like still to this day, people expect me to
Speaker 1: know everything just because I'm the one that's doing the
Speaker 1: news or I'm the one that's doing the rumors. But
Speaker 1: I don't know everything. It's like fifty stories a day
Speaker 1: that I'm reading, so sometimes some of the details I
Speaker 1: don't have. And so even if Charlottegne or Envy asked
Speaker 1: me a question, I'm like, well, y'all can also look
Speaker 1: stuff up too, because we get the same no. So
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have to know everything, like and so, But
Speaker 1: people don't acknowledge that, Like they'll be like, oh, Angela
Speaker 1: didn't know this this morning. I'm like, well, not that
Speaker 1: the other two guys in the room. Why is it
Speaker 1: just me? You know? And so I feel like a
Speaker 1: lot comes on you and that's the responsibility that you
Speaker 1: end up having to take because of the role that
Speaker 1: you have on the show. But I have realized now
Speaker 1: that there's just certain things out of your control and
Speaker 1: you just have to be like, I don't know, you know.
Speaker 1: And then as far as far as the challenges, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was definitely some challenging times for me. I made
Speaker 1: sure that I, you know, vocalized how I felt, and
Speaker 1: then I moved past it because another thing that I
Speaker 1: realized is that people don't really care, right Like, if
Speaker 1: you want to talk about something you say at one
Speaker 1: time and move on. The more you talk about it,
Speaker 1: that people were like, oh, you dragging it. They also
Speaker 1: don't know all the details and ins and out of
Speaker 1: everything that happened. And I feel like sometimes the more
Speaker 1: you say about something, the more it takes on a
Speaker 1: life of its own. So part of me, yeah, us
Speaker 1: waking up in the morning not being sure what I
Speaker 1: wanted to do, it did make me come up with
Speaker 1: the longer term plan of of knowing that I needed
Speaker 1: to do my own thing. And so even me getting
Speaker 1: my own show, We're up with Angela yee. That's something
Speaker 1: that I've been talking about even during those most challenging times.
Speaker 1: I was very vocal at work, you know, with our
Speaker 1: executives about the fact that I want to do my
Speaker 1: own thing, and how can we make this happen? And
Speaker 1: you know, at first it was we're gonna give you
Speaker 1: your own show, but we want you to stay on
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. And in my head the way that
Speaker 1: I think, I was like, I'll write that out for
Speaker 1: a little while, but I'm gonna do so great on
Speaker 1: my own show that they'll want me to focus on that.
Speaker 1: That's what I was thinking. But the unfortunately they came
Speaker 1: at me and said, look, uh, we're just gonna give
Speaker 1: you your whole own show, nationally syndicated. It's a huge,
Speaker 1: huge honor things that we believe you, um, we trust
Speaker 1: in you, We see the work that you put in.
Speaker 1: We know you're gonna do an amazing job and you
Speaker 1: deserve it. And so I was so relieved that I
Speaker 1: would be able to just focus on one thing, because
Speaker 1: I was also like, I'm about to have to bust
Speaker 1: my ass doing two shows and I'm not even gonna
Speaker 1: be able to enjoy my life. And so for me,
Speaker 1: this was just the ultimate best thing that could have happened.
Speaker 1: I'm glad that I was very professional about things and
Speaker 1: that I still was able to go to work, even
Speaker 1: though sometimes it can be challenging, but to still show
Speaker 1: up and do what I have to do. And you know,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people, if you pay attention,
Speaker 1: you'll be like Angel doesn't seem like herself or and
Speaker 1: I was feeling that way. Yeah, yeah, I was definitely
Speaker 1: feeling that way also. But I also never went to
Speaker 1: let anybody feel like, you know, they got me to
Speaker 1: uh be like you know how you don't want to
Speaker 1: feel like somebody won or you got defeated in anything.
Speaker 1: And so for me, I always have to represent myself
Speaker 1: and the best way possible, and that was being a
Speaker 1: professional and knowing what my goals are and knowing that
Speaker 1: I have a longer term goal because I'm not a
Speaker 1: rash decision maker where I'm gonna just be like I'm
Speaker 1: not doing this anymore, I'm out of here. It was
Speaker 1: never gonna be that for me because I've done too
Speaker 1: much and worked too hard to not be able to
Speaker 1: reap the benefits of all the work I put in.
Speaker 1: I just You've just always been a consonant professional, like
Speaker 1: you know, even in those times like you know, I
Speaker 1: know you so and I know all of you guys,
Speaker 1: so I'm able to sense since like, yes, I don't
Speaker 1: really right here, but you always still did your job,
Speaker 1: You came to work, you did things. You know, even
Speaker 1: I and I admitted, like when I understood what she
Speaker 1: was going through because my diftain things, I was like,
Speaker 1: n that ain't okare with me? And I had conversations
Speaker 1: like now you probably shouldn't did that off off, you know,
Speaker 1: off camera and all of that. So I understood what
Speaker 1: you was going through. But watching you just continuously move
Speaker 1: through those things and just grow it just it gave
Speaker 1: me just an understanding, like a deeper understanding what it
Speaker 1: takes to be in this business, you know. And so
Speaker 1: I just wanted once again employed you for being a profess.
Speaker 1: When I know your show is gonna be dope, So
Speaker 1: what is it gonna Is it gonna comprise of like
Speaker 1: kind of what you do at the breakfast club with
Speaker 1: lip service? Like what is the show gonna the format
Speaker 1: gonna be? You know? So I was just coming from
Speaker 1: a meeting yet another one about my show, and I
Speaker 1: have a lot of different segments that are planned out.
Speaker 1: I have so many segments I have to cut some
Speaker 1: of them out because it's like they're like all right, Angela,
Speaker 1: but they're excited because I have so many ideas so um,
Speaker 1: certain things I want to do. I definitely want to
Speaker 1: be more tapped in with the community and the average
Speaker 1: everyday person. So it'll definitely obviously we'll have those interviews,
Speaker 1: um with celebrities and things like that, but I also
Speaker 1: want to make sure that I'm doing things with uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I have a segment that I'm planning with
Speaker 1: high schoolers that I'm gonna be doing so we get
Speaker 1: to hear from them and get their input because we care.
Speaker 1: We need to listen to what the kids are saying
Speaker 1: now too in the next generation. And so there's something
Speaker 1: special I have planned for that. You know, there's a
Speaker 1: round table discussions based on issues that and I know
Speaker 1: both of you all gonna end up being on the
Speaker 1: show a lot, but you know, really important things that
Speaker 1: I want to discuss. Entrepreneurship, financial wellness. Those are really
Speaker 1: important things to me. And so any type of information
Speaker 1: that I can bring to people and that people can
Speaker 1: bring to me that I feel like we need to
Speaker 1: have this on the show. Women's issues. Obviously, I care
Speaker 1: a lot about being a black woman. A lot of
Speaker 1: what we just even talked about is something that's relatable
Speaker 1: to a lot of black women, you know, being in
Speaker 1: the office or being in a workspace and feeling like
Speaker 1: you're not being heard, or feeling like you have to
Speaker 1: go to work and fight every day just to be
Speaker 1: seen and understood and all of those things, and so
Speaker 1: being able to bring light to that in a real way,
Speaker 1: I'm excited for um you know. I know right now
Speaker 1: I do front page news, but on the news show,
Speaker 1: I really want to do more stories that don't have
Speaker 1: to be the headline stories. And so I'm just trying
Speaker 1: to make things a little more um me because right
Speaker 1: now I'm part of a collect if. So everything's not
Speaker 1: what Angela wants to do, but this is gonna be
Speaker 1: more like, Okay, I see that this is something that
Speaker 1: Angela came up with, and it's gonna be fun. You know,
Speaker 1: there'll be a lot of fun happening, and it's and
Speaker 1: it's it's also not just what three individuals want. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on your show because it's so big.
Speaker 1: So once something grows to be so big, there's advertisers,
Speaker 1: their expectations, and I don't think people understand the ins
Speaker 1: and outs and they just want you. Why can't you
Speaker 1: know people call me every other day, get me on
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. It's like, it's not that, it's that.
Speaker 1: It's like, it's it's not like that. You know what
Speaker 1: I mean, It's not that kind of environment. I can't.
Speaker 1: You can't. It's I get your point, but you're talking
Speaker 1: about something that you're doing in a small town in
Speaker 1: you know, Connecticut somewhere and not saying that that's not important.
Speaker 1: I get it. The issue is important. Maybe somebody will
Speaker 1: do alive with you, but to bring you to this
Speaker 1: national platform and have you on the show, it might
Speaker 1: not work out with all the other things they have
Speaker 1: going on, but people do not understand that. So thankfully
Speaker 1: you've got another It's still gonna be national right nationally,
Speaker 1: it's nationally syndicated. I'll be on after the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: So literally they're my opening act. That's good, of course, man,
Speaker 1: that I wanted it just and I know it's time
Speaker 1: for you to go. We can sit here and talk
Speaker 1: for all day, just learning more about your story and
Speaker 1: just how you think. Um, you know you when you
Speaker 1: talked about being a professional and how you said nobody
Speaker 1: really cares. That's such a powerful point point because people
Speaker 1: think going to social media complaining about all their problems
Speaker 1: or doing a million interviews trying to make you know,
Speaker 1: to talk about who did you wrong or whatever that
Speaker 1: that is going to make them feel better, and instead
Speaker 1: the Internet tears back at you. That's just the way
Speaker 1: it works. They take no matter who did what, they
Speaker 1: still will find fault and even the person who's trying
Speaker 1: to express how they got harmed, and it just doesn't work.
Speaker 1: And the professional piece is so important because no matter
Speaker 1: where you go, even if Okay, Tamika did mice aren't wrong,
Speaker 1: or Tamika did Angelie you wrong, they still don't want
Speaker 1: you to be problematic. Nobody wants to work with a
Speaker 1: person that's whining and complain that. They just don't want
Speaker 1: to do it. And it's messed up that the world
Speaker 1: is like that. But I'm sure you learned along the way.
Speaker 1: Nobody cares. Yeah, and you know what the flip side
Speaker 1: of nobody cares. And when I say, like, you can
Speaker 1: go complain and do all this and people are like,
Speaker 1: shut up, who asked you? Nobody cares? I got bigger problems.
Speaker 1: The flip side of nobody cares is nobody cares as
Speaker 1: much as you do. So something might be the worst,
Speaker 1: biggest thing in the world to you, but it's not
Speaker 1: that big a deal, and the grand scheme of things
Speaker 1: on the flip side, you don't realize in two days
Speaker 1: it's all will blow over and no one really will
Speaker 1: care anymore. So just leave it alone because the worst
Speaker 1: thing that you could do is blow something up into
Speaker 1: an even bigger situation than it had to be. And
Speaker 1: so there is two sides to the whole. Nobody cares.
Speaker 1: You know, it sucks because if you're going to social
Speaker 1: media to get some type of sympathy or empathy, it's
Speaker 1: not the right place for that to happen. It never works.
Speaker 1: I've tried it and I'm telling you, and I've watched
Speaker 1: other people do it, and then it ends up being
Speaker 1: you become the problem somehow. It's like it's just it's
Speaker 1: it's a nasty world out here. So that's the last
Speaker 1: thing I want to ask, and I know my probers
Speaker 1: to it, Okay, things, Yeah, I want to ask is
Speaker 1: what is like You've done so many different interviews, like
Speaker 1: so I've seen you know, you've got historical interviews like
Speaker 1: what is your favorite and what was your work? And
Speaker 1: the second question is have you done an interview that
Speaker 1: you regretted. It was like, I probably shouldn't have or
Speaker 1: lost a relationship based on an interview or anything like that,
Speaker 1: things that you might regretted. Um, I'm trying to think.
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever lost a relationship based on
Speaker 1: an interview necessary and not somebody that I cared about
Speaker 1: that I was like, you know, that was my friend
Speaker 1: before this, and now they don't ask me anymore. Because
Speaker 1: I also, i'd never have like a malicious intention when
Speaker 1: I do any interviews, and anybody who really is my
Speaker 1: friend and knows that knows that about me, So I
Speaker 1: wouldn't say I've lost any relationships. And I also, you know,
Speaker 1: it's interesting like I was doing Black Entrepreneurs Day and
Speaker 1: and I See was there. He came up to me
Speaker 1: and he was like, you know, congratulations on your show.
Speaker 1: And I know, I see, but I don't know that well.
Speaker 1: But I've interviewed him a couple of times. He doesn't
Speaker 1: do like a whole lot of interviews now, And he
Speaker 1: was like, you know, I just wanna say that. If
Speaker 1: you need me, let me know. He was like, I
Speaker 1: don't do a lot of stuff now, but I know
Speaker 1: you don't have bad intentions when you do. And it
Speaker 1: meant a lot to me because now that I do
Speaker 1: have my own show, I know some people like to
Speaker 1: be like shocking and quote unquote say whatever's on their mind.
Speaker 1: And I don't always think that that's the best approach
Speaker 1: if you're thinking about longevity, you know, because I've learned
Speaker 1: a long time ago from my own experiences that people
Speaker 1: are human beings and nobody wants to be dragged or
Speaker 1: talked about in a degrading way. And so I've learned
Speaker 1: that a long time ago, and so I'm really conscious
Speaker 1: about how I speak about people and how I speak
Speaker 1: to them as well, especially with artists who are like
Speaker 1: pouring their heart into their work and their business and
Speaker 1: this is what they do for a living. I never
Speaker 1: want to beat up on anybody that is really working
Speaker 1: hard at trying to accomplish something. I applaud you are
Speaker 1: ready for being able to put yourself out there like that. Okay, Now,
Speaker 1: whether or not I like it, it's a whole another story.
Speaker 1: But that's something that a lot of people don't even
Speaker 1: try to do, and so that's the approach. I don't
Speaker 1: even think evil thoughts about people that what I'm saying
Speaker 1: when people will be like, oh, well you, why didn't
Speaker 1: you do this? Or I would have said this, But
Speaker 1: these are real humans, and I think sometimes people don't
Speaker 1: look at other people, like especially celebrities, like they're human
Speaker 1: beings that were feelings, and they could have a terrible
Speaker 1: day after you say something unnecessarily nasty to them for
Speaker 1: no reason other than sometimes to try to be funny
Speaker 1: or make yourself feel better. And so I've always been
Speaker 1: really conscious of that. But as far as favorite interviews,
Speaker 1: um um, I mean, there's been interviews that have really
Speaker 1: been impactful to me. Uh interfew in East Ray. I
Speaker 1: loves Ray and so she's always yeah, one of my favorites. Um. Obviously,
Speaker 1: when I did the August I've seen in an interview
Speaker 1: that was an amazing one because I was in the
Speaker 1: middle of the pandemic, nobody was doing things in person,
Speaker 1: and other than even just what you know, the bomb
Speaker 1: about Jada Pinkett and all of that, he said a
Speaker 1: lot of other great things in that interview and revealed
Speaker 1: a lot about himself that I thought was really um
Speaker 1: that people don't even tell about, you know, because everything
Speaker 1: else was just so uh so got City Newsworthy so
Speaker 1: I just feel like that was one of my favorites
Speaker 1: that I ever did too. M hm. And that's one,
Speaker 1: and it's one of my least favorites that you've done
Speaker 1: because of the fact that I'm so close to the Smiths.
Speaker 1: So it's like, you know, but but that's life. You
Speaker 1: just you know, you you have moments when you can't
Speaker 1: control what's gonna come out. And that's another side of
Speaker 1: being a public figure, is you can't control moments that
Speaker 1: can happen in the second and it just it hits,
Speaker 1: and then you gotta deal with whatever it is that
Speaker 1: you know comes from that. And it's funny because to
Speaker 1: your point about trying not to hurt or harm people,
Speaker 1: you could work so hard on that every single day
Speaker 1: of your life and really be intentional about it, and
Speaker 1: then something will happen and you can't. It's like you
Speaker 1: can't bottle it back up or try to fix it.
Speaker 1: It's like life is just so unpredictable, man. And I
Speaker 1: learned over time that you don't want something happens. It
Speaker 1: just is what it is, right if something is not intentional,
Speaker 1: you know, I think some people intentionally are like I'm
Speaker 1: gonna make this person, Yeah, I don't like this person,
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna put this story out,
Speaker 1: and I don't I'm not into that now. I get that.
Speaker 1: Like and a lot of times, if I report something,
Speaker 1: if everyone else is reporting it, I felt like, that's fine.
Speaker 1: But if I know something that's in confidence that other
Speaker 1: people don't know, then I'm not gonna do that. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And so that's just kind of
Speaker 1: some of the codes that I live by. If you
Speaker 1: do something in front of me and I'm like, damn,
Speaker 1: you know, should I'm not gonna go back right unless
Speaker 1: it's something If it's something positive, yeah, but if if
Speaker 1: something crazy happens, I'm not gonna go on the air
Speaker 1: and be like yo, so guess what I've seen, whatever, whatever.
Speaker 1: And if there is something that is questionable, I'll ask you, like, listen,
Speaker 1: do you mind if I report this or how would
Speaker 1: you like me to you know, do you want to
Speaker 1: give me some more insight because I am going to
Speaker 1: report this story. But if everybody's doing it and it's
Speaker 1: on all the blogs and all of that, then it
Speaker 1: is a rumor reporting. Yeah, it's very gating game. Well,
Speaker 1: listen to it's I mean, it's so much that's wrapped
Speaker 1: up in you and this little bitty package and Angela,
Speaker 1: you know, we're so teeny, our little self. And know
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I know you're not talking about
Speaker 1: a little bit of grandmother now a little ten grandma
Speaker 1: is my name, grandma' t But we are so powerful
Speaker 1: like in our own right these you know, and and
Speaker 1: and we've come from and have had to overcome so
Speaker 1: much to get into the places where we are, which
Speaker 1: is why I don't play. We don't play about us,
Speaker 1: like don't play with me because I know what I've
Speaker 1: had to do. And and that's the thing I wanted
Speaker 1: to say on the you know, as you go back
Speaker 1: to your day, Um, what do you what would you
Speaker 1: say to people who believe that it's the pop up thing,
Speaker 1: Like I'm just gonna become successful overnight because I'm cute.
Speaker 1: I got my good BBL. We're gonna talked about that
Speaker 1: early on the show. Honey. The BBL is wow, Like
Speaker 1: people are really doing the most, like the most on
Speaker 1: the plane with their face on the seat and they
Speaker 1: gotta like be on their knees on the floor and
Speaker 1: the whole flight. I'm like, I can't do it. People
Speaker 1: are risking their life the Halloween concert with a little baby,
Speaker 1: like we were just talking about that earlier in the show.
Speaker 1: Just this whole thing with BBLS, Like, I get it.
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to tell anybody not to get a
Speaker 1: nick in a tuck and do whatever you wanna do,
Speaker 1: take care of yourself, make yourself feel good. But we're
Speaker 1: at the point where social media, the Internet has made
Speaker 1: us believe that we gotta have like all this other
Speaker 1: stuff and body in order to I don't even know
Speaker 1: what we're trying to accomplish, but I do know that
Speaker 1: there are a lot of folks. I have a friend
Speaker 1: who said, oh, I gotta get my b v L
Speaker 1: because it's gonna put me in a good position. It's
Speaker 1: the hard work part, it doesn't It seems like that
Speaker 1: has missed people all these steps, you know, So I
Speaker 1: just want to want you to drop some gems about
Speaker 1: that today, the hard work and the process to get
Speaker 1: towards where you are in this moment, and and the
Speaker 1: fact that not an overnight success. I actually am glad
Speaker 1: that things didn't come from me so quickly and so easily,
Speaker 1: because I feel like I appreciate it so much more
Speaker 1: right now. I feel like I'm so much more responsible
Speaker 1: being that I work so hard to get to where
Speaker 1: I am when it comes to my finances, when it
Speaker 1: comes to how I treat other people, I think sometimes
Speaker 1: people who are getting it too fast are kind of
Speaker 1: throwing things away and and not acting the way that
Speaker 1: I think later on in life they'll be proud of
Speaker 1: or not making decisions now out that they would have
Speaker 1: made if they would have had that slower grind to
Speaker 1: get to where they are. Because when you get that
Speaker 1: fast money, that money goes fast too. You think it's
Speaker 1: always gonna happen, and you don't know what it's like
Speaker 1: when it's not fair. And so I just am appreciative
Speaker 1: of that. And also I feel like, um, all this
Speaker 1: hard work that I put in has laid down a
Speaker 1: great foundation for me. Like I said earlier, I feel
Speaker 1: like I could go anywhere and do anything, and I'm
Speaker 1: still making mistakes and I'm still learning, but I'm open
Speaker 1: to all of those things. Even when it comes to
Speaker 1: opening businesses. There's so many mistakes that I made in
Speaker 1: my first business that I've opened that every single time
Speaker 1: I learned, I learned a whole lot more. And I've also,
Speaker 1: like I said, been going to people now that are
Speaker 1: doing the things that I admire and that I want
Speaker 1: to be able to do and asking for help and
Speaker 1: being able to do that. And then at the same
Speaker 1: time as we're asking for help and helping others that
Speaker 1: are in a position that we were in a few
Speaker 1: years prior. But I just think that, you know, like
Speaker 1: I said before, if you're not putting in that work.
Speaker 1: If you ever read that Buck Mastery by Robert Green,
Speaker 1: he talks about the amount of hours and hours that
Speaker 1: it takes in years and decades to master anything. And
Speaker 1: if you are not trying to be great. It's one
Speaker 1: thing to be an artists put out a song and pops.
Speaker 1: You don't want to be a one hit wonder though, right.
Speaker 1: You want to make sure that you're constantly working, that
Speaker 1: you're always in the studio, that you're connecting with the
Speaker 1: right people, that you're doing those collaborations, that you have
Speaker 1: a great producer, that you're always growing, whether you're going
Speaker 1: to be independent or sign a deal, at least you
Speaker 1: know all of the ins and outs of the business
Speaker 1: so that you can make the right decisions. And I
Speaker 1: think sometimes if we don't have um have that history
Speaker 1: or have those mistakes that we've made and then come
Speaker 1: through on the other side, then it's harder to make
Speaker 1: the better decisions. Sometimes you're just living for the moment,
Speaker 1: and so be a professional professional. This is this is
Speaker 1: an interview that that epitomized as professional listen. You know.
Speaker 1: So we first, well, we want to say thank you
Speaker 1: for spending an hour out your day with us. You know,
Speaker 1: you could have been doing so much other things. You're
Speaker 1: serial entrepreneur and you've got all mutual many businesses, just
Speaker 1: finished doing, you know, interviews with the radio and everything.
Speaker 1: So we want to say thank you for that. I
Speaker 1: want to wish you all the best. I already know
Speaker 1: this show is gonna be amazing, and I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: probably about two or three segments that I gotta listen
Speaker 1: to every day to tune in. You got I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be in. I'm definitely gonna gonna be on the show.
Speaker 1: Let's definitely. But I just want to continue success. Man,
Speaker 1: you one of those people that deserve it. You always
Speaker 1: have a smile, even when you're not happy, you got
Speaker 1: a smile on your face. So you wanted your spirits,
Speaker 1: you know, it's certain people. I was somebody. I just
Speaker 1: seem like a little clip that Kevin Hall put up
Speaker 1: about certain people's spirit just deserve good things, you know.
Speaker 1: And so ever since I met you always had a
Speaker 1: beutiful spirit, you know. So you are definitely one of
Speaker 1: God's people who have been ordained to do this work
Speaker 1: and bring joy into people's lives. So continue to do
Speaker 1: what you're doing. I see you have. Is this a
Speaker 1: sent you hustle? Shoot you good do? Oh yeah, oh wow.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Harry Yoho who still hasn't given me mind,
Speaker 1: you know, but I'm go my child, for instance, well
Speaker 1: ten years old, I still haven't got mine. But you know,
Speaker 1: we're yeah, I would like to have my hope did
Speaker 1: so you know, listen, we gotta give our shameless plugs.
Speaker 1: Well listen, you don't have to get up at We
Speaker 1: didn't get to ask you about that, but now you
Speaker 1: don't have to get up at the crack of dawn
Speaker 1: every day. You can sleep later in the morning. So
Speaker 1: that is listen, that's a good I have to train
Speaker 1: the work though, because that's like rush hour. I don't
Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen straight through. Wait, Angela before you go,
Speaker 1: the rats still outside your building, your house, or are
Speaker 1: we better now? It's not even just that it's walk
Speaker 1: into my car. It's like I have to walk outside
Speaker 1: and just be really loud because I do not want
Speaker 1: them to be scurrying around. There are rats everywhere in Brooklyn. Okay,
Speaker 1: it is not a game. It's the Manhattan. They're everywhere.
Speaker 1: There's nowhere to go. And just for context with people
Speaker 1: probably like, what the hell are you asking about the rats?
Speaker 1: I heard, let's say, on the radio that in the morning,
Speaker 1: she was tracked in her house, scared to go outside
Speaker 1: because when she went to go out there she saw
Speaker 1: in the street they were scarrying, and so she almost
Speaker 1: was late. And I immediately hit up my people that
Speaker 1: work in the mayor's office and was like, yo, y'all
Speaker 1: got Angela. You trapped to her house? Here? Like what
Speaker 1: are we doing to come on them about rats? All
Speaker 1: the time my saw over them. I report the rats
Speaker 1: the street, the corner, the time, I take pictures. I
Speaker 1: am a rat finder in New York. You here, I'm
Speaker 1: like the book. It's me and my neighbor. We were
Speaker 1: just talking about it just yesterday, right, because I have
Speaker 1: a neighbor on the other side, and there's like too
Speaker 1: much going on in that house. It's disgusting, it's dirty.
Speaker 1: And she said the exterminator came in. Was like until
Speaker 1: that house on the corner they do something about that.
Speaker 1: Those rats aren't going anywhere as that house on the corner.
Speaker 1: And I mean, just text me on the low the
Speaker 1: address to the house and come to and go knock
Speaker 1: on the door. Because yo, I can't. I can't. I can't,
Speaker 1: I can't, I can't, I can't not live. I cannot
Speaker 1: let you. I saw the woman king and I walked
Speaker 1: out of there, and I felt like, I can't let
Speaker 1: these rats beat me. I just seen I would you
Speaker 1: know you are crazy? You was like, nah, but I
Speaker 1: bet you. I've bet you one thing. You can talk
Speaker 1: that junk or you want bet You're not going to
Speaker 1: fight the rats outside. I'd rather go to war. Send
Speaker 1: me away. I'm not thank you so much. Looking forward,
Speaker 1: it's a way up with ye ye ye. That was
Speaker 1: friend Angela ye man. You know, I wanted to, always
Speaker 1: wanted to. I'm always used to her interview with me
Speaker 1: asking me questions, so to be able to ask her
Speaker 1: some questions. The icon that she is you know, she's
Speaker 1: our comic, like she worked with Wou Tang, like she was.
Speaker 1: She's worked so many different places, and a lot of
Speaker 1: people never knew that. So that's why I wanted to
Speaker 1: ask a couple of questions about that. But she's a
Speaker 1: secret weapon, oh yeah, but she ain't really that much
Speaker 1: of a secret. She's just a weapon. No. But the
Speaker 1: way in different areas, the way she moves around, she's
Speaker 1: not loud and boisterous, you don't, you know, It's not
Speaker 1: like when she's in the room, everybody's like, oh, here
Speaker 1: comes Angela. She slips in and then her presence is
Speaker 1: just felt and known. And I like that about her.
Speaker 1: I think that's what, you know, even though I know
Speaker 1: I talk a lot and I am loud and all
Speaker 1: of that, but still I try to approach rooms and
Speaker 1: spaces the same. And I can imagine that she and
Speaker 1: I have a similar thing around me, you know, not
Speaker 1: like calling everybody for tickets and you know, trying to
Speaker 1: be the one in the space, even though she gets
Speaker 1: way more invitations. Absolutely, but and she should because she's
Speaker 1: in the culture and really connected like that. But you know,
Speaker 1: I just have never known her to be pretentious and
Speaker 1: I tried to also have that about me, that humbleness
Speaker 1: that we don't have to always show up and and
Speaker 1: and you know and suck all out the room, even
Speaker 1: though we do because we cute. But you know that's
Speaker 1: another thing. Okay, well listen dope interview, you know, and
Speaker 1: that gives me a little because it's not really much
Speaker 1: of a leeway because it's completely different, you know, topics.
Speaker 1: But my um, I don't get it today. So I
Speaker 1: know everybody's been watching this, this something Jeffrey Dahmer thing,
Speaker 1: and you know, there's been a lot of different views.
Speaker 1: I mean, I started watching I haven't finished watching it
Speaker 1: because you know, I don't really have enough time to
Speaker 1: just be sitting around watching doma. So there was this article.
Speaker 1: I can't find it right now, but I will hopefully
Speaker 1: they'll show it. And it was saying how fans of
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Dahmo went to his father's house and they were
Speaker 1: throwing panties at the father's house. But how did you
Speaker 1: become a fan of Jeffrey Dahmer. That's but that was
Speaker 1: the whole thing. That was the whole premise, like the
Speaker 1: whole premise to me, because I'm still looking for because
Speaker 1: I don't want people to just think I'll be just
Speaker 1: making stuff up. But I could not believe. And I said, fans, like,
Speaker 1: what does that look like? No, it said Jeffrey Dahma.
Speaker 1: Fans allegedly showed up at his dad's home and through
Speaker 1: panties onto his driveway. When did we get to the
Speaker 1: point where we are fans of a serial killer who
Speaker 1: cut in eight people? Like we celebrate that this is
Speaker 1: the person that we that we follow, and and it's
Speaker 1: it's very telling about the times that we are, you know,
Speaker 1: Like we were talked about idols, you know, people idol worship,
Speaker 1: you know, and it don't matter what you do, people
Speaker 1: find some level of genius or positivity in the most
Speaker 1: dumbest in negative ship. And I just I I can't
Speaker 1: wrap my mind around it, you know, don't matter how
Speaker 1: hard I tried. You know how people idolize and they
Speaker 1: have respect for people and things that don't even deserve respect.
Speaker 1: And it's it's such a and and it's not and
Speaker 1: you when you say these things, they say you're hating. Oh,
Speaker 1: you're just mad, and it's not it's not really not
Speaker 1: just mad. I'm really confused. You know, I've never been
Speaker 1: one for me, for you, for me to follow you,
Speaker 1: for me to look up to you, for me to
Speaker 1: have respect for you. There are criterias, right, There are
Speaker 1: certain criterias that you have to meet and and and
Speaker 1: and none of them about the money that you have,
Speaker 1: in the fame you have, those are those are not
Speaker 1: criterias that puts you in an elite space in my
Speaker 1: mind and my heart for me to think that you,
Speaker 1: you know, that you deserve some level of you know,
Speaker 1: hierarchy or you know, praise, and and we're in a
Speaker 1: time with those the main things you actually anything. You know,
Speaker 1: people say you're I don't deal with morals. You know
Speaker 1: that's they don't have nothing to do. That's too much,
Speaker 1: you know, well, you can't really judge if you come
Speaker 1: from a moral standpoint. Is everybody is floored, you know what.
Speaker 1: Everybody is floored, but some people are intentional about trying
Speaker 1: not to be floored. Morally. We all make mistakes, we
Speaker 1: all do things, and we all can be judged. But
Speaker 1: when you are intentionally doing things that are morally wrong
Speaker 1: on a consistent basis, when you're intentionally playing on the emotions,
Speaker 1: when you're intentionally doing these things, you know, there should
Speaker 1: be a consequence for that, Like I think, I don't.
Speaker 1: I think the word I said this to you before.
Speaker 1: I think using the word moral is very, very sticky
Speaker 1: because none of us live morally pure. We all fall
Speaker 1: short of the glory of God, every single one of us.
Speaker 1: And I think when you use the word moral, people
Speaker 1: are triggered because they know that that is a two
Speaker 1: that's too high of a standard for man to define
Speaker 1: people's moral standings. That's God's job. I think though, that
Speaker 1: what we can talk about is a level of righteousness
Speaker 1: and also call things that we see happening that's dangerous
Speaker 1: to our people, ourselves, our community, or whatever it is.
Speaker 1: Because righteousness is a moral, it's it's very to me
Speaker 1: when I hear morals, morals it is too. It is
Speaker 1: defining a lot more than just a person doing something
Speaker 1: wrong today or acting out or saying something wrong. It's like,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not gonna say and say that my
Speaker 1: parents they didn't do everything right with me as they
Speaker 1: raised me right. There was things that that didn't go right,
Speaker 1: and there's things that my father didn't do well in
Speaker 1: his marriage to my mother early on. But I don't
Speaker 1: think that takes away from his morals. I think it
Speaker 1: means that he did some wrong ship and I'm we
Speaker 1: need to say mistakes. I would say he did some
Speaker 1: he made some choices that rapport well. I think when
Speaker 1: we start talking about morals, it goes to a place
Speaker 1: that none of us could actually stand up to, none
Speaker 1: of us, because if you peel back the layers and
Speaker 1: the onions of all of our lives, from what we've
Speaker 1: done to what we do to what we will do.
Speaker 1: But then I think that's what it is, right. I
Speaker 1: think it's your own moral compass. Right. So if because
Speaker 1: the thing is this, it's like it's like you saying
Speaker 1: it's like a person saying, yo, we both we both
Speaker 1: had sex with somebody else, but you had sex with
Speaker 1: a fourteen yeod and I had six year old, right,
Speaker 1: And people said, well, it doesn't matter, we both have.
Speaker 1: But that's what I'm trying to explain to you, because
Speaker 1: the reality is in your mind there's no comparison. No, no,
Speaker 1: it's not it's no, no, no. I think that is.
Speaker 1: I think the only way you can make that this
Speaker 1: is my The example that I would have used to
Speaker 1: describe what you're saying is to say that you know
Speaker 1: I cheated once, you cheated five times, and I could
Speaker 1: see him say, well, once is okay, but five times
Speaker 1: was too much. Or I cheated for two years because
Speaker 1: one night you can't help. Let me just finish. But
Speaker 1: sleeping with a child as a grown man, it's a
Speaker 1: whole different thing that is predatory. You're not because olds
Speaker 1: not even the same. But but you're not listening. That's
Speaker 1: what my whole thing is. You're seeing exactly what I'm
Speaker 1: trying to say. Right, I'm saying when I'm talking about
Speaker 1: my moral compass, right, I'm not perfect. Right, And it's
Speaker 1: certain ships that I've done that the average person. I
Speaker 1: think the average person has done the ship that I've
Speaker 1: done right. But there's certain ship that people who are
Speaker 1: innately or intentionally trying to be evil intentionally don't have
Speaker 1: good natures. They do differently. Right. The ship that we do,
Speaker 1: that that most of us make, falls short upon. Everybody's
Speaker 1: not gonna tell the truth for all the time. Some
Speaker 1: people might have infidelity, certain ships like that. These are
Speaker 1: age old things that of the culture has dealt with
Speaker 1: in one way, of the world, not just the coach
Speaker 1: of the world. Of the world has deal with. So
Speaker 1: this is these are relatable things that we can all
Speaker 1: look at a sent But okay, I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: I get your point that a lot of people have
Speaker 1: experienced the same issues and some of the things that
Speaker 1: you're talking about are things that's really detrimental. And that's fine,
Speaker 1: I get it. I'm still saying, huh, and that's exactly
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So the things that I'm trying to understand, yeah,
Speaker 1: I understand what you're saying. I'm just only trying to
Speaker 1: be cautious myself of you know, I just think morality
Speaker 1: is a very high call. It's a very high call.
Speaker 1: So that's all I'm saying. And so therefore, when you
Speaker 1: know the art of communication, and we've learned this, we
Speaker 1: have this same discussion amongst ourselves about our business deals,
Speaker 1: all the things that we do together, where we have
Speaker 1: to sometimes check the level of our communication levels so
Speaker 1: that we understand when you're talking to another person, it's
Speaker 1: not out about you, but it's about what you're trying
Speaker 1: to communicate to them and how they receive information. So
Speaker 1: I already know over time, like I know that when
Speaker 1: I'm talking to Angelo um or you know, when I'm
Speaker 1: when I'm talking to you, especially you. I can't necessary,
Speaker 1: I can't approach the conversation accusatory. I have to approach
Speaker 1: the conversation by being like, hey, I want us to
Speaker 1: examine this situation and figure out what do we do
Speaker 1: to get better. Now. I'm not good at that all
Speaker 1: the time. Sometimes I do come to the conversation like
Speaker 1: you did this, and you did it, and that's and
Speaker 1: that and that automat I can see the wall come up, right.
Speaker 1: So when you're trying to communicate with people as my son,
Speaker 1: and you start talking about morals, it it impacts the
Speaker 1: people you're communicating with a certain way because they That's
Speaker 1: where it seems like you think you're sitting on this
Speaker 1: high hord. No, but it's not even that. Is that
Speaker 1: we all have that our own moral compass and and
Speaker 1: that's each individual should have. That you should have for you.
Speaker 1: What it is, I would say standard, That's what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: is the same thing. It's you you able to to
Speaker 1: weigh and figure out what is for you, like because
Speaker 1: you can't say, yo, yo, you need to hang out
Speaker 1: with me because you went to jail before, and I
Speaker 1: went to jail before. Now we went to jail for
Speaker 1: different things, and the ship that you went to jail for,
Speaker 1: I would never do so. Just because we shared the
Speaker 1: same space both or convicted feelings, doesn't mean that we
Speaker 1: are on the same that we are on the same level.
Speaker 1: I mean to me, you might you might think it's
Speaker 1: okay ship, that you think it's okay. It's not okay
Speaker 1: for me and I have that. I just think words matter,
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. So anyway, it is what it is.
Speaker 1: The point is that Jeffrey Dahm ain't no goddamn person,
Speaker 1: but nobody will be making a fan killing people, praying
Speaker 1: on people, drugging people, raping people, and doing all kinds
Speaker 1: of crazy ship. And if you if that's if you're
Speaker 1: a fan of his, you need some help. You should
Speaker 1: probably talk. It is really crazy for you to follow
Speaker 1: Jeffrey down, like the do Kenny's Like, so what do
Speaker 1: you want him to do? Eat you alive? Like what
Speaker 1: is the goal they might have doing here? Sexy? Let
Speaker 1: me tell you something. You will be surprised about the
Speaker 1: things that turn people on. Because even in porn, like
Speaker 1: in the in the porn world, which we should do
Speaker 1: a show one poorn, but even because you know I
Speaker 1: was gonna know we should because I heard I didn't
Speaker 1: get to ask Angela about a conversation that she was
Speaker 1: having with Spice Girl on lip Service. I think it
Speaker 1: was spice Girl, yeah, where she said that, Um, she
Speaker 1: doesn't she she thinks that if you masturbate right, that
Speaker 1: it would be it's like an evil demon or something
Speaker 1: sexy demon exact actual. But you know, people some people
Speaker 1: that's the same scenario spills over into other areas, like
Speaker 1: you know, watching porn and all of that. So I
Speaker 1: just think that it's a it's a conversation because a
Speaker 1: lot of people are a lot of people seem to
Speaker 1: be interested, and let's just put it that way. But
Speaker 1: the reason why I brought that up is because even
Speaker 1: within the porn industry, not because I know for sure,
Speaker 1: it's just you know, just I read about it, there
Speaker 1: happens to be different types of different um genres in
Speaker 1: the industry exactly. So there's different fetishes. So maybe somebody
Speaker 1: has rolled playing murder, kidnapping, um, all kinds of crazy
Speaker 1: freak ship that people are into, and they might have
Speaker 1: been turned on when they watched Domma eating but ship.
Speaker 1: He was doing it and he was turned on by it,
