Speaker 2: would shine a light eight hundred and two ninety two
Speaker 2: fifty one fifty. Just in case you couldn't get through.
Speaker 2: We are still taking your calls and we can play
Speaker 2: them in last word, and when we come back, we
Speaker 2: have your yea te And let's talk about Kayla Nicole
Speaker 2: and her viral interview with Angel Reese and what she
Speaker 2: has to say in retrospect. It's way up, they.
Speaker 1: Say, is in the rooms.
Speaker 4: From industry shade to all of gossip out send angelas
Speaker 4: feeling that yeat.
Speaker 2: It's way up with Angela. Yeah, I'm here, my girl
Speaker 2: Tella is here, all right, and let's talk about some
Speaker 2: yeat things. Let's talk about Kayla Nicole first. Now, she
Speaker 2: was on Angel Reese's podcast and she had a conversation
Speaker 2: with her about dressing up as her I guess a
Speaker 2: guy she was dating his new girlfriend for Halloween. It
Speaker 2: turns out the person she was talking about was Tiana Taylor. Wow,
Speaker 2: and Tianna Taylor was like, just leave me alone. Basically,
Speaker 2: she's staying at the mix. Why is my name being
Speaker 2: brought up in it? And then she got a lot
Speaker 2: of backlash after those comments. I saw Cameron and Mace
Speaker 2: had some things to say about it. People on social media. Well,
Speaker 2: she said that she got a lot of criticism, but
Speaker 2: she ignored it all. The only thing is that her
Speaker 2: mother was offended by the social media commentary. That's a
Speaker 2: real thing. When things happen online, people attack you. You
Speaker 2: can ignore it, but people who love you really have
Speaker 2: an issue with it. She was on I am athlete
Speaker 2: and here's what else she had to say.
Speaker 9: There is a part of me that cares about harm
Speaker 9: influencing people and what they think of me and what
Speaker 9: they have to say of me. So looking back on
Speaker 9: my decisions, even recently sitting down and doing a podcast,
Speaker 9: I felt like there were moments where I articulated myself
Speaker 9: in a really good way. There were moments where if
Speaker 9: I could go back, I would maybe change the way
Speaker 9: that I said things because it didn't fully embody my
Speaker 9: character or my heart. But that's something that I'm learning
Speaker 9: right as athletes, y'all have mastered that because you've done
Speaker 9: that your whole life.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not an easy thing. And I do want
Speaker 2: to say I said a lot of people acting like
Speaker 2: Kayla Nicole was nobody before she dated Travis Kelce because
Speaker 2: she's Travis Kelsey's ex girlfriend, and then he started dating
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift, right, But she was definitely a broadcaster. She
Speaker 2: has a degree in journalism, she's a model, she has
Speaker 2: her own athletic weear line, so it's not like she
Speaker 2: wasn't doing anything. I don't like when people are like, well,
Speaker 2: she was nobody, she just dated somebody. Even before that,
Speaker 2: she was doing things right.
Speaker 5: But she also probably shouldn't have antagged and asked the
Speaker 5: situation with the costl on either, right.
Speaker 2: I think that she went on there and she wanted
Speaker 2: to tell her truth. It's a funny story. It went viral, right,
Speaker 2: and maybe she didn't anticipate because I don't think it
Speaker 2: was her trying to attack Tiana Taylor necessarily. It was
Speaker 2: just something crazy that she did, Like why did I
Speaker 2: dress up like this for Halloween? You know how we
Speaker 2: all do stuff. Sometimes we don't talk about it, and
Speaker 2: she just did and people had such an issue about it.
Speaker 5: So you know, well, I mean, you know, it's just
Speaker 5: some things you do, you.
Speaker 2: Know, Yeah, I mean we all know how difficult that
Speaker 2: can be. All right, now, let's talk about the Menandaz
Speaker 2: brothers because there is going to be a press conference
Speaker 2: in LA today. They're doing this I think at one pm,
Speaker 2: and there's a hearing set for November twenty ninth because
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles County Jessica Attorney is going to be
Speaker 2: examining some new evidence. So the Menanda's brothers, you know,
Speaker 2: this has been the number one show and documentary that's
Speaker 2: been on Netflix, so.
Speaker 5: We need to finish that.
Speaker 2: We need to finish. And the Menanda's brothers. Previous appeals
Speaker 2: did not work out in their favor, but they are
Speaker 2: holding a resentencing hearing due to new evidence. So according
Speaker 2: to the DA's office, they received a photo copy of
Speaker 2: a letter that was allegedly sent by one of the
Speaker 2: brothers to another family member discussing sexual molestation by their father.
Speaker 2: They also submitted another piece of evidence that may be
Speaker 2: linked to the claim that their father had sexually molested
Speaker 2: them and so this would have changed, they said, the
Speaker 2: outcome of the case. Potentially, that's a crazy situation. Je man, listen.
Speaker 2: So if this resenting sing does happen, they could either
Speaker 2: walk out based on what the court decides. They could
Speaker 2: also be given a shorter sentence because they've been in
Speaker 2: there for over three decades, or they could have a
Speaker 2: new trial, which I'm sure they would rather not do.
Speaker 2: I'm sure they'd rather just be able to walk out
Speaker 2: and say all right, time served because people are saying
Speaker 2: they should get time served for this, but you know,
Speaker 2: they went to jail for murdering their parents. And if
Speaker 2: you haven't watched it, you need to make sure you're
Speaker 2: paying attention to it because it is an amazing series
Speaker 2: and a really crazy story. All right, Well that is
Speaker 2: your yet, and when we come back, we have about
Speaker 2: last night. That's where we discussed what we had going on.
Speaker 2: Last night. We did try to watch this, but we
Speaker 2: had so much fun last night. You know what we
Speaker 2: did because we were outside.
Speaker 5: We was outside.
Speaker 2: Mana was supposed to be here today he is not.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that as well. But we did go
Speaker 2: see amazing movie Smile too, and we'll give you some details,
Speaker 2: but no spoilers. It's way up.
Speaker 4: So about last night, Yes, I went down.
Speaker 2: It's way up at Angela. Ye, I'm here, my girl,
Speaker 2: Chella is here, Hella h hla. And let's talk about
Speaker 2: what we did last night, because we did have a
Speaker 2: good time, Yes we did. So we went to go
Speaker 2: see Smile too. And horror movies. I talk about it
Speaker 2: all the time. I love a good horror movie. Smile.
Speaker 2: The first one was amazing, I want to say. Also,
Speaker 2: the first one costs seventeen million to make and made
Speaker 2: over two hundred million dollars in the box office, so
Speaker 2: it was what they call a surprise hit because people
Speaker 2: didn't realize it was going to do that. Well, so
Speaker 2: now it's going to be a whole franchise. And the
Speaker 2: director was saying, this is not going to be stopping
Speaker 2: at a part too, There'll be more. And by the ending, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you can tell, you can tell it'll be more. That's
Speaker 2: all will say. But you haven't even seen the first one.
Speaker 2: You don't love horror movies. What do you think, Tella?
Speaker 5: It was good, it was interesting, it was scary at first,
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: She was like sitting Yeah, she had her her hand
Speaker 2: covered her face.
Speaker 5: It was scary. It was like you keep you know,
Speaker 5: I ain't used to that. I ain't big on scary movies,
Speaker 5: but it was decent. I had a time, uh you
Speaker 5: know who.
Speaker 2: And I was talking to you while I was watching
Speaker 2: the movie, because you know, before I go and see
Speaker 2: something like this, I want to see everything that's going on.
Speaker 2: And Jack Nicholson's son is in this movie, Ray Nicholson,
Speaker 2: and they also have him on the poster and he
Speaker 2: looks just like Jack Nicholson. So I want to say,
Speaker 2: but it's a nice feel because what I enjoyed about
Speaker 2: it was is also taking place with a pop singer. Yes,
Speaker 2: it was good.
Speaker 7: She was a good actress.
Speaker 2: Yeah she I mean, when I tell you she she
Speaker 2: did it, I want to say she killed it. But
Speaker 2: literally it's a horror movie. But Naomi Scott, she did
Speaker 2: such an amazing job in that. And so yes, I
Speaker 2: just want to encourage everybody. This movie actually comes out
Speaker 2: on Friday and thrilling, and there were some people in
Speaker 2: the theater who hadn't seen the first one. You didn't
Speaker 2: need to see the first one to see this one,
Speaker 2: because it all get to explain to you, So in
Speaker 2: case you're concerned about that, you're like, well, I see
Speaker 2: the first one. You have time to watch it, but
Speaker 2: you also have time to go do that. And then
Speaker 2: we went home and we tried to finish watching Monster
Speaker 2: the Menanda's brother Story and fellas we did well. We
Speaker 2: stopped with Maine on first oh, and we went to
Speaker 2: go see Mano. That's what I was gonna say. Mayno
Speaker 2: is not here today, but he does have a show
Speaker 2: that's out, the first episode on in the Black Network,
Speaker 2: which you can download to watch. Shout out to James Debos.
Speaker 2: That's his network. He used to be a Fox Soul
Speaker 2: and now he started his own network, and so new
Speaker 2: Mana was out. We went to Chelsea House and celebrated
Speaker 2: with Mano, and that's probably why he's not answering the phone,
Speaker 2: because he's probably still asleep. He was celebrating his new show.
Speaker 2: But congratulations to him. It's extremely funny. Way Up with
Speaker 2: Angela Ye is definitely in the first episode, as it
Speaker 2: should be, so make sure you guys download that now

Speaker 2: If you couldn't get through, you can still leave a
Speaker 2: message and tell us a secret for last word, and
Speaker 2: when we come back, we have your yee tea. I
Speaker 2: know y'all are sick and tired of this, but there
Speaker 2: are some more Diddy allegations. Will tell you what they are.
Speaker 2: I know another one, but we got to keep up,
Speaker 2: all right, It's way up. Sure, she's about the.
Speaker 8: Lid off this spot.
Speaker 4: Let's get it, Oh, angelus feeling that yee tea, Come
Speaker 4: and get the tea.
Speaker 2: It's way up at Angela, Yee, I'm here, My girl
Speaker 2: Tella is here right all right, Well, let's get into
Speaker 2: some yee T Diddy. I told you we had to
Speaker 2: do some Diddy news just because there's no way we
Speaker 2: cannot do this. So, his lawyers are demanding that his
Speaker 2: latest sexual assault accuses reveal their identities. Y'all know there's
Speaker 2: already like one hundred and twenty people that are being
Speaker 2: represented by one lawyer out of Houston, Tony Busby. Well,
Speaker 2: according to his lawyers, they want to judge to order
Speaker 2: prosecutors to disclose the names of his alleged victims so
Speaker 2: that he can properly prepare his defense. I know, normally
Speaker 2: when it comes to sexual assault cases, people are able
Speaker 2: to stay Jane Doe and protect their identity, right, So
Speaker 2: I don't know if this is gonna work, but it
Speaker 2: does feel like he's throwing everything to see what sticks. Wow,
Speaker 2: All right, now did he is, as you know, behind
Speaker 2: bars waiting for his trial to start. That's in May
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty five. And there's another woman who's coming
Speaker 2: forward and she's not part of that Tony Busby yes circle.
Speaker 2: So he's been hit with another lawsuit. This woman says
Speaker 2: that he gain raped her as revenge after she insinuated
Speaker 2: he was involved in Tupac's death. This lawsuit was filed
Speaker 2: yesterday in federal court in California and it was seen
Speaker 2: by page six Ashley Parham. She said she was targeted
Speaker 2: after meeting a friend of his at a bar, and
Speaker 2: this was in February of twenty eighteen, and he said
Speaker 2: he knew Diddy and allegedly called him through FaceTime where
Speaker 2: she told him that she believed he had something to
Speaker 2: do with Tupac's death in nineteen ninety six. That's when
Speaker 2: allegedly he threatened her and said that she would pay
Speaker 2: for her comment. And then later on she alleges that
Speaker 2: Ditty's friend allegedly set her up to be the R
Speaker 2: word when he invited her to his house to help
Speaker 2: him administer cancer drugs because he was weak, and that's
Speaker 2: when Diddy showed up, she alleges, and told her she
Speaker 2: thought she would never see him in person. She said
Speaker 2: he then pressed a knife against her face and threatened
Speaker 2: to give her a Glasgow smile. That's where they cut
Speaker 2: the corners of your mouth up to your ears. Wow.
Speaker 2: According to this report, you know that didn't happen. But
Speaker 2: there was another woman, she says, that was present that
Speaker 2: stopped that from happening. But then according to this she
Speaker 2: alleges that he covered her body in a liquid substance
Speaker 2: that he took out of a fanny pack and then
Speaker 2: try to insert an IUD as contraception. And then she
Speaker 2: alleges that he did the R word with a TV
Speaker 2: remote control. And then also this is very explicit, and
Speaker 2: then also instructed two men to do the same before
Speaker 2: a fourth man joined in.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: So this is all in this lawsuit, and you can
Speaker 2: read the whole thing. But you know that's another thing.
Speaker 2: It's a lot, all right. Well, that is your e
Speaker 2: t And when we come back, we have under the radar.
Speaker 2: These are the stories that are not necessarily in the headlines.
Speaker 2: They are flying under the radar. But you definitely need
Speaker 2: to know about them anyway, and we're getting ready for
Speaker 2: elections November fourth, too, so we're always trying to make
Speaker 2: sure you keep updated on that. All right, it's way
Speaker 2: up news.
Speaker 4: This in the news that relates to you. These stories
Speaker 4: are flying under the radar.
Speaker 2: Yes way up at Angela. Ye, I'm here, my girl,
Speaker 2: Cella's here, big h All right, let's get into some
Speaker 2: under the radar stories. Yesterday in Georgia, they smashed their
Speaker 2: record on first day of early voting. You know, everybody
Speaker 2: is saying you should get out and vote early, and
Speaker 2: people were acting like it wasn't going to be a
Speaker 2: big thing. But just judging by what happened in Georgia,
Speaker 2: approximately three hundred and twenty thousand people went to the
Speaker 2: polls to vote early. And just to give y'all some
Speaker 2: perspective before that, the previous early voting first day record
Speaker 2: was in twenty twenty. That's when one hundred and thirty
Speaker 2: six thousand ballots were submitted, and so big difference there. Wow, Yeah,
Speaker 2: more than double the amount of people have gone out
Speaker 2: to vote early. And there's been a lot of controversial
Speaker 2: election law changes, but they want to make sure that
Speaker 2: people are able to get to the polls. They were
Speaker 2: offering people rides, they were making sure that people were registered.
Speaker 2: So anybody who thinks that people are feeling lethargic about this,
Speaker 2: we can tell by Georgia that's not the case. All right,
Speaker 2: All right, now, Kamala Harris in the meantime, has brought
Speaker 2: the view their highest ratings in three years with over
Speaker 2: two two point five million viewers. So congratulations to them
Speaker 2: for that. That was a good one. And you know
Speaker 2: she's also going to be doing Fox News and they're
Speaker 2: saying Joe Rogan at some point, so it'd be interesting
Speaker 2: to see all of that. All right, And lastly, let's
Speaker 2: talk about Disney. They have a new all access skip
Speaker 2: the line plan. But this plan is so expensive it
Speaker 2: can cost more than the actual ticket to get into
Speaker 2: the park coasts. Wow, I've still never been to Disney.
Speaker 2: We gotta go, and if I did go, I would
Speaker 2: want to get this skip the line thing, But do
Speaker 2: you know how much it's going to cost. They're saying
Speaker 2: that that pass will be priced per person per day,
Speaker 2: based on date and demand. It's called the Lightning Lane
Speaker 2: Premiere Pass. It was just formally announced today by Disney.
Speaker 2: It's being offered in extremely limited quantities. You have to
Speaker 2: purchase it, and only a few people can get it.
Speaker 2: They're saying that after taxes, it can range between one
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty seven dollars to four hundred and seventy
Speaker 2: eight dollars. Wow, and this is available starting October thirtieth,
Speaker 2: so it'll be he also priced based on the specific
Speaker 2: park that you're visiting, depending on you know where you're going,
Speaker 2: and so not every attraction though, has a faster line,
Speaker 2: which Disney calls a lightning lane, but they tend to
Speaker 2: be available for many of the more popular attractions, just
Speaker 2: to FYI. So some people are complaining like it's already
Speaker 2: expensive to go to Disney, but clearly this is just
Speaker 2: for like really rich.
Speaker 5: People or people who just don't want to wait and lie, like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you still got to be rich to get
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, imagine paying almost five hundred dollars.
Speaker 2: And it's not just you, it's per person. So if
Speaker 2: you're bringing them kids, okay, all right, well that is
Speaker 2: that is your under the radar. It's for them and

Speaker 2: Tella h is here and let's get it too some yeat.
Speaker 2: The BET Hip Hop Awards were yesterday, Yes it was.
Speaker 2: I didn't even know it was coming on yesterday because
Speaker 2: they always film it ahead of time and then it airs.
Speaker 2: But Kenjack Lamar ended up getting eight of the night's
Speaker 2: top awards, so congratulations to him. It was hosted by
Speaker 2: Fat Joe and it was actually in Vegas this year
Speaker 2: at dres But yet Kenjack was hip Hop Artist of
Speaker 2: the Year, Lyricists of the Year, Video Director of the

Speaker 2: I think we all knew that this was Kendrick's year
Speaker 2: this year. And Nicki Minaj's won hip Hop Album of
Speaker 2: the Year for Friday too, and she has like the
Speaker 2: highest grossing tour for a female rapper ever. Sexy Read
Speaker 2: won the Breakthrough Artist Award, the Alchemist One Producer of
Speaker 2: the Year and all of the things. Okay, now let's
Speaker 2: talk about our guy life, Jennings Life. Jennings. I saw
Speaker 2: recently he went viral for something that he had posted
Speaker 2: on social media. He said, he's basically talking about how
Speaker 2: Tiny Desk did not want to let him perform because
Speaker 2: they didn't think he was a big enough celebrity. And
Speaker 2: he actually posted this like over a week ago, but
Speaker 2: I saw it was picking up some steam. He said
Speaker 2: he wasn't a big enough slipt for their show, And
Speaker 2: when we interviewed him last week on lip Service, he
Speaker 2: talked about that whole Tiny Desk thing, right, But when
Speaker 2: the episode dropped yesterday, I saw that life Jennings had
Speaker 2: posted this on his page.
Speaker 10: I just want to say real quick y'all that I
Speaker 10: did some podcast interviews that just came out today, and
Speaker 10: I just want to in advance that I didn't get
Speaker 10: outside A lot lot of stuff I saynt necessary politically correct,
Speaker 10: but you know it's definitely not my attention to I
Speaker 10: don't play anything or harm anybody by what theys I say.
Speaker 2: I just be running my mouth.
Speaker 6: Plus when some of them, I had a couple of drinks.
Speaker 10: But I just wanted just.
Speaker 7: To let y'all know all throughout that these.
Speaker 10: Podcasts may and may not reflect you know.
Speaker 2: Who I am. He sounded like me out the long night.
Speaker 2: I know he definitely was having some drinks, though, I
Speaker 2: do want to put that disclaimer out there, but I
Speaker 2: will say life Jenny's is like, I stand by it
Speaker 2: all all right now. Another thing that he talked about
Speaker 2: was he had gotten in a really bad car accident.
Speaker 2: This is when he went to jail for the second time.
Speaker 2: And the whole story is crazy and I've never heard
Speaker 2: him really talk about what happened. Yeah, but I guess
Speaker 2: he was going to see his children's mother baby mother,
Speaker 2: and things got a little heated. And he also probably
Speaker 2: had been drinking. Here's what he had to say.
Speaker 6: It was one of those situations that she felt like
Speaker 6: she didn't want to let me see him, and so
Speaker 6: I was happened to be drinking that night. Patron was like, Yo,
Speaker 6: you gotta go to town in the morning, man, go
Speaker 6: over there and get a glimpse of your youngins Man.
Speaker 6: So I knock on the door. Nobody answered the door,
Speaker 6: So then boom, I kicked the door in. I didn't
Speaker 6: even go in or nothing like that, and I just
Speaker 6: went back to the whip, jumping the whip. I leave
Speaker 6: and then next thing I know, the whole police force
Speaker 6: is behind me, and I'm just thinking like I'm not
Speaker 6: stopping for these moments, and then I just I just
Speaker 6: hit the gas. Like what happened is I wound up
Speaker 6: hitting the tree, split my car. Now the police is
Speaker 6: around me, and that's what happened.
Speaker 2: Man, okay, man, listen. I can't even imagine. You got
Speaker 2: to hear him tell the whole story though, of what
Speaker 2: happened during that police chase. But when I tell you life,
Speaker 2: Jennings is well. This whole interview was pretty amazing though,
Speaker 2: because he was for sure very transparent about everything that's
Speaker 2: happened to him. And it's like, as a matter of fact,
Speaker 2: that interview could have went off for way longer than
Speaker 2: it did. So, you know, shout out to Life Jennings
Speaker 2: for that amazing interview.
Speaker 5: And that's good he's survived because they're drinking and driving.
Speaker 2: Ain't no joke, listen, It's good that he didn't kill
Speaker 2: anyone else.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2: At the same time, and in retrospect, I'm sure that
Speaker 2: he had to be like, I can see why she
Speaker 2: didn't want to let me see my kids because he
Speaker 2: said he was really going over there. He was in town.
Speaker 2: He wanted to see his kids, and she wasn't about
Speaker 2: to let him, right, and that's why. Yeah, and it
Speaker 2: definitely was patron all right. Well, shout out to Life
Speaker 2: Jennings again. He also talked about Tiny Desk in this
Speaker 2: interview because we discussed him posting that they told him
Speaker 2: he wasn't a big enough celebrity, and basically he said
Speaker 2: that their pr reached out to him and had a conversation.
Speaker 2: But he still is like, look, y'all said that stand
Speaker 2: on what it is that you said, and he ended
Speaker 2: up doing Unplugged, So you can watch that full lip
Speaker 2: Service interview and you can go and check out his
Speaker 2: unplugged since clearly I don't think tiny desk is going
Speaker 2: to happen for him at this point in time. All right,
Speaker 2: well that is your yet, and when we come back,
Speaker 2: it's time for you guys to ask any questions that
Speaker 2: you need some help with. We're here to give you
Speaker 2: some great advice. Yep, y'all know, Tella is a lot
Speaker 2: more sell the truth. Yeah, truth, tell it the truth.
Speaker 2: I'm a lot I would say nicer, and how I
Speaker 2: approach things, Tella is very blunt, straightforward in your face.
Speaker 2: I'm very like, well, let's think about this. You would
Speaker 2: have probably told life names go over there and get
Speaker 2: your kids. Get the kids, and I would have been like, well, now,

Speaker 7: What's up?

Speaker 8: Hey, Angela, how you going?
Speaker 2: I'm good, MCFLI. It's me and Chella and we're ready
Speaker 2: for your question. Fly, McFly, make fly.
Speaker 8: My woman is like, uh, emotionally attached, like she don't
Speaker 8: know how to love, you know how to Uh, he's
Speaker 8: no words of reformation. So when I first met her,
Speaker 8: I would, you know, when we go out, I will
Speaker 8: buy our clothes. I will buy our flowers every week,
Speaker 8: you know, all the things I think ladies like. And
Speaker 8: she one day we got to do a disagreement. She
Speaker 8: told me, uh, that's not my love language, you know,
Speaker 8: And basically I was doing it for nothing. It's her
Speaker 8: love language with acts of service, basically, you know. So
Speaker 8: when I come over, I would clean up, help her
Speaker 8: with that, whatever the case. So after a while with
Speaker 8: me not getting no love, uh, you know, I'm outside.
Speaker 8: I'm ducking and you know, girls just burn with me
Speaker 8: or whatever the case may be. But I'm I'm dunking on.
Speaker 8: But after a while it's like I saw inner paining them.
Speaker 8: So then I got caught, you know, texting. I'm not
Speaker 8: ever text just texting, and she's tripping on it. But
Speaker 8: I'm trying to explain to her why I did it,
Speaker 8: you know what I mean? Or why I'm do you
Speaker 8: know what I was doing? Now she won't let it go,
Speaker 8: so I don't know if I should just.
Speaker 2: Let it go or how long has it been since
Speaker 2: you got caught texting or sexting? Really?
Speaker 8: About maybe three months? It's been about three months.
Speaker 7: How long y'all been messing around?
Speaker 8: Four years? And we planned a baby and everything. He
Speaker 8: had a baby, you know?
Speaker 2: Oh wow, so y'all got I got a question. If
Speaker 2: she's if she's never been affectionate and you've had these issues,
Speaker 2: what made you say this is the person you wanted
Speaker 2: to be with because I.
Speaker 8: Actually love her and care about it, like I have
Speaker 8: faith in her, you know, because I just feel as
Speaker 8: though she's never been loved or never loved. I'm not
Speaker 8: I can change that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: It's always tough, and we think we can change somebody
Speaker 2: because a lot of times people come us a certain way,
Speaker 2: and we think they're going to adapt to what it
Speaker 2: is that we want them to be, and that's it
Speaker 2: feels like not who she is. And as much as
Speaker 2: you're trying to get her to learn these things, it's
Speaker 2: probably how she was raised, how she grew up. I
Speaker 2: don't know what her past is, but a lot of
Speaker 2: times that comes from your own things, your own issues,
Speaker 2: your own background.
Speaker 5: Right, yeah, I think you should entertain the other girls.
Speaker 5: I mean, you're not Mary, and you should miss out
Speaker 5: on love because she's not giving it.
Speaker 2: Well, he loves her and you think she loves you, right.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I know she loves little stuff, but she don't really,
Speaker 8: you know, And it hurt my feelings when I'm like,
Speaker 8: I'm buying her all these clothes and flowers of Reigon.
Speaker 8: Do you look at me in my face and say
Speaker 8: I'm basically doing it for nothing?
Speaker 2: That was like, yeah, I think you misinterpreted that though
Speaker 2: what she was saying, and she told you that's not
Speaker 2: her love language. It was acts of service, right, So
Speaker 2: she just told you that so you wouldn't have to
Speaker 2: do that. I had to tell somebody that once, like
Speaker 2: stop buying me things because you know it just wasn't
Speaker 2: like it. Some sometimes that is not It is nice,
Speaker 2: and I understand why you're doing it because you're doing
Speaker 2: it out of the generosity and kindness of your heart.
Speaker 2: But that's not what it is that she wants me
Speaker 2: to communicate it that to you, but you interpreted it
Speaker 2: as she doesn't appreciate it. What she's telling you is
Speaker 2: that I need something else from you. Acts of service.
Speaker 2: Now when you did those acts of service, was that helpful?
Speaker 8: Because that's like you only do this, you don't do
Speaker 8: like I'm not doing everything, but I'm only doing something.
Speaker 8: But like if I'm doing something that you're asking me
Speaker 8: to do, my my my love language is basically physical,
Speaker 8: physical test, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: I don't affection and she's not doing that. Yeah, and
Speaker 5: she ain't doing that, So you gotta you gotta put
Speaker 5: yourself first. Put yourself that always, you know, because.
Speaker 2: That's the truth. Like I get what he's saying.
Speaker 5: It's like, yo, I'm trying to grow and you just
Speaker 5: stuck in your way. So what he's supposed to do
Speaker 5: miss out on what he what his love language is.
Speaker 2: But your bess, no, But.
Speaker 8: I posted my son two weeks ago. My story somebody
Speaker 8: comments that, oh, he looks like it's sad. He's so cute,
Speaker 8: and right, I said, thank you, right, and she's right
Speaker 8: next to me, right up, and I said, I wish
Speaker 8: his daddy stopped playing. And let me say right, and
Speaker 8: you see this, and I'm like, see what I gotta
Speaker 8: deal with girls and throwing herself by me, And I
Speaker 8: got to like, I almost beg you to have sex,
Speaker 8: you know what I'm saying or whatever the case, Like.
Speaker 2: She's just I don't know, the thing is that you can't.
Speaker 2: The problem is that you went behind her back and
Speaker 2: do something. And now not only did y'all have issues,
Speaker 2: but she thinks you're cheating, right yep. So I think
Speaker 2: if you do want to entertain other people, you have
Speaker 2: to let her know that you can't just do it
Speaker 2: without having a conversation of this isn't working for me.
Speaker 2: And I've tried and I've done everything that I can.
Speaker 2: I've asked you what I need to do, and that's
Speaker 2: still not working. And so maybe this just isn't the
Speaker 2: right fit. But you got to tell her that before
Speaker 2: you just do things, Cause you guys do still have
Speaker 2: to communicate. You have a kid together.
Speaker 6: Yeah, y'all do.
Speaker 2: But you know, and sometimes and you're not around and things,
Speaker 2: you have to end things in order to come back
Speaker 2: together because maybe if you're not around, it'll help her
Speaker 2: come around to realize what she's missing out on. Because
Speaker 2: if you're there all the time and you're not gonna
Speaker 2: leave regardless, it's not going to change her habits. You know,
Speaker 2: so back right, and and you might not. And that's
Speaker 2: the risk that she'll have to take if you have
Speaker 2: to say, look, let's just separate for now. Maybe you
Speaker 2: need to work on yourself. Maybe things could get better.
Speaker 2: I want to be with you, but it doesn't seem
Speaker 2: but it's not working for me. And maybe you guys
Speaker 2: take a break and you may not come back. And
Speaker 2: that's a risk that she'll have to take if she's
Speaker 2: willing to take that. But it might be the only
Speaker 2: way that she'll change if she loses something. You know,
Speaker 2: they say you don't know what you got till it's gone,
Speaker 2: that's true.
Speaker 5: Or ask how can you get a concubine? Because then
Speaker 5: he being honest because he got to get what he needs.
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, you feel me.
Speaker 2: I don't know if she'll be with that and don't
Speaker 2: feel like it, but with nothing.
Speaker 7: So, hey, you did have.
Speaker 8: A little we did have a little little situation with
Speaker 8: my act, you know. Yeah, Oh and it got weird,
Speaker 8: you know what I mean? They were they were territorial something.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll get her back on the side and have fungie.
Speaker 5: Just delete your messages, make sure you delete them in
Speaker 5: a left to y'all all the way.
Speaker 2: Be responsible, do the right thing. You still got a
Speaker 2: kid watching everything that's happening. You don't want that story
Speaker 2: think about later in life. You don't want her to
Speaker 2: be able to say your dad was cheating on me
Speaker 2: and sneaking around behind my back.
Speaker 5: Well, she shouldn't be telling the baby that know.
Speaker 2: When to get older. You know, you want to know
Speaker 2: what happened with your parents? Why did y'all break up?
Speaker 7: And he needs to tell her, Hey, mama won cracking.
Speaker 8: That's what it is. Mama wasn't cracking out cracking.
Speaker 2: Hey, Well, good luck to you, okay, good luck.
Speaker 8: To y'all, Thank y'all, Thank y'all.
Speaker 2: I'm so confused. All right, Well that was asking y
Speaker 2: eight hundred two ninety fifty one fifty. If you couldn't
Speaker 2: get through, you could leave a message will answer your
Speaker 2: question that way, and and it's also Wealth Wednesday. Coming
Speaker 2: up next, we have the author of the Pursuit a
Speaker 2: manifesto from the American dream Guru tell Gnation, global serial entrepreneur,
Speaker 2: philanthropists and humanitarian is going to be joining us talking
Speaker 2: about how he was able to acquire wealth and he
Speaker 2: really came here with nothing, all right, so we'll talk
Speaker 2: about it. And Jazzmin Brand is here for this one.
Speaker 2: All right. It's way up kind.
Speaker 1: Of dream of wealthy and I don't mind sharing my.
Speaker 4: Wealth dog getting you straight financially, mentally and physically. This
Speaker 4: is Wealth Wednesday on way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 2: What's up? This way up for Angela Yee And it's
Speaker 2: a Wealth Wednesday. I'm here, Jazzmine Brand is here, Yes,
Speaker 2: I'm here. What a pleasure. And we have serial entrepreneur
Speaker 2: also movie producer, also author Gnation here with us.
Speaker 7: Glad to be here, Angela and Jacksman.
Speaker 2: Yes, listen. So much to talk about today because you're
Speaker 2: a serial entrepreneur like myself, but you've made way more
Speaker 2: money than I have. I'm not, but I want to talk
Speaker 2: about your journey because you've been living in the US
Speaker 2: for thirty five years. Yes, okay, So tell us where
Speaker 2: you're from and how you got here.
Speaker 7: Born in India, did my undergraduate over there, and then
Speaker 7: passion for cars brought me to Detroit.
Speaker 2: So what was your first business?
Speaker 7: The first business was an IT company.
Speaker 5: Did you have a significant amount of money, say when
Speaker 5: you started your first business?
Speaker 7: Not a whole lot. I mean, obviously I had four
Speaker 7: own k grown a little bit of cash, but not
Speaker 7: a whole lot. It's like it was not a bond millionaire,
Speaker 7: you know what I mean? So sort of stealing. I
Speaker 7: pulled from everywhere I could.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, So then you started the IT company.
Speaker 2: Chrystler was your first client. And then what happened from there?
Speaker 7: So from there on, you know, it started rolling. So
Speaker 7: from there on, I bought another company, then another company.
Speaker 7: Then I started biting companies that are bigger than me,
Speaker 7: and then I started rolling them up. And then I
Speaker 7: used the economies of scale all on a sudden to
Speaker 7: get to where I am. So that's what I bought
Speaker 7: companies and then I rolled them up.
Speaker 2: Okay, what does roll them up?
Speaker 8: Me?
Speaker 7: It's no different than a real estate. So you go
Speaker 7: and buy companies flip I flip them basically, and how
Speaker 7: you flip them much like you buy rundown buildings, right
Speaker 7: and you throw some rehabit you know, in their mardifa
Speaker 7: here and there. The same thing happens in the business.
Speaker 7: Either the person is getting old, he's tired, losing money,
Speaker 7: doesn't know how to run the business, and the market
Speaker 7: conditions have changed. So you look at them and see
Speaker 7: what the value plays are for me, so I can
Speaker 7: add value. So then I look at them and sometimes
Speaker 7: you know, people have help, problems go through, do all
Speaker 7: kinds of things happen, and then you just wait for
Speaker 7: the right moment. So it's more like a strategic as
Speaker 7: well as an opportunity play.
Speaker 2: Can you give us an example of like how this works?
Speaker 2: But I just give us like a play back play,
Speaker 2: like okay, so but X company right, and so here's
Speaker 2: the structure and here's what I did in order to
Speaker 2: scale that company up to be able to sell it.
Speaker 7: So the way it works is that when you need money,
Speaker 7: the bank will not give you money, okay, And then
Speaker 7: what you try to do is it's almost same like
Speaker 7: real estate analogy. You create a cash flow from business
Speaker 7: number one, use the cash flow and some capital that
Speaker 7: you save and then go to business number two.
Speaker 2: So invest in your own money.
Speaker 7: Invest your own money, and then this show the success
Speaker 7: and the bank is okay. Now I'm ready to come back.
Speaker 7: And then it's almost like a split the risk forty
Speaker 7: fifty percent coming from the bank, thirty person your own money.
Speaker 7: And then you go to the seller once's out, ask
Speaker 7: him to do a seller financing, so you kind of
Speaker 7: split it and then you kind of cobble up. Okay,
Speaker 7: and then once you do one other guys want to sell. Wow,
Speaker 7: this guy bought this company, did well, he paid them
Speaker 7: back good. Then you repeat the same story, find another candidate,
Speaker 7: roll and roll and roll.
Speaker 2: All right. Tago Nation is here. He is an author
Speaker 2: of the Pursuit, a Manifesto from the American Dream Guru.
Speaker 2: He talks about his mission to reunite America and also
Speaker 2: save democracy. But he's also, of course a business person.
Speaker 2: We'll talk more to him when we come back. It's
Speaker 2: way up an answer, Ye, Happy Wealth Wednesday.
Speaker 1: I had a dream of living wealthy, and I don't
Speaker 1: mind sharing my wealth dog.
Speaker 4: Getting you straight financially, mentally and physically. This is wealth
Speaker 4: Wednesday on Way Up with Angela Yee what's up?
Speaker 2: His way up with Angela Yee and right now we
Speaker 2: are talking to a movie producer. Also, he invested in
Speaker 2: the club Preve. It's a nightclub in Detroit, but he
Speaker 2: had so many investments before that. Tell the nation is
Speaker 2: here with us now another business and this is why
Speaker 2: we know you.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 2: So one of the businesses that you have invested in
Speaker 2: is a nightclub. Yes, Prevey nightclub in Detroit. Well it's
Speaker 2: outside of Detroit, but it's Detroit. Yeah, yeah, okay, And
Speaker 2: so talk to us about investing in a nightclub and
Speaker 2: what made you decide that was a good idea?
Speaker 7: Yeah, So I'll be working with my son on the
Speaker 7: music side. So through him I got into the music scene.
Speaker 7: And what's your son's name, Ashmanshin?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 7: And then then I got to know Prevail in the process,
Speaker 7: an amazing guy. And then through these two guys, I said, wow,
Speaker 7: you know my club is a networking place. So now
Speaker 7: I'm trying to cut into the entertainment space. I'm figuring
Speaker 7: out how that works. But now I found out it's
Speaker 7: all the same.
Speaker 2: Tell us about your quote secret formula for success.
Speaker 7: My secret farmila is happiness in my journey. What I
Speaker 7: have found when I'm happier, I'm more likely to be
Speaker 7: successful because as an entrepreneur it's a roller coaster, right.
Speaker 7: And the second thing I follow is curiosity. So everything
Speaker 7: that I see, I'm very curious about my surroundings. Why
Speaker 7: did they do that, how did they do that, what
Speaker 7: did they do? What were going on when they were
Speaker 7: doing this? So I keep on asking those kinds of questions.
Speaker 7: I always go to the first principle. I don't worry
Speaker 7: about what the society is saying what other people. I
Speaker 7: start with what I know.
Speaker 2: What's the first principle is starting what do you know?
Speaker 7: It's starting with everything at the basic level, because I
Speaker 7: don't want to be subject to a societal conditioning, like
Speaker 7: the trap that the society say, hey, you're an Indian guy,
Speaker 7: not do movie. You an Indian guy, you should not
Speaker 7: do music, and you're born middle class, you should not
Speaker 7: do entrepreneurship. So I'm not letting those rules. That is
Speaker 7: why I go back to the fundamentals of not discarding
Speaker 7: all of them and that right and then and then
Speaker 7: the other one is intensity. So I believe that businesses
Speaker 7: need to have the intensity. It's not like one day
Speaker 7: you're going to do it another day, you go to
Speaker 7: some Bahamas and.
Speaker 2: Sleep and come back.
Speaker 7: It ain't happening, right. And the last thing is action.
Speaker 7: That's what I believe. If I were to say one thing, action, action, action,
Speaker 7: it's much like a basketball player, right, you got to
Speaker 7: keep on shooting. Not all gonna land with them in
Speaker 7: the basket, but if you do more over time, it's
Speaker 7: going to do. And that's what I believe. So people
Speaker 7: always say why this guy is taking so much of action,
Speaker 7: because that's what I believe.
Speaker 2: But there's too so many people have ideas and they'll
Speaker 2: never act on those, I'll never execute and that's yeah,
Speaker 2: that's the worst execution is. I think one of the
Speaker 2: hardest things is one thing to come up with an
Speaker 2: idea and say I want to do this. I could
Speaker 2: do that. It's a whole another thing to actually do it,
Speaker 2: and you got to get in the game. How do
Speaker 2: you know when it's time to give up on a business,
Speaker 2: because I think that's hard too. Sometimes you put so
Speaker 2: much into something that you have these really high hopes
Speaker 2: of how it can work and it just doesn't. When
Speaker 2: do you realize it's time to let this go?
Speaker 7: I think what I have learned so far is that
Speaker 7: if it takes so much of energy over and over
Speaker 7: and again, I know that is the time to let
Speaker 7: it go. Because business, when it starts to click, it
Speaker 7: moves very effortlessly. And if you're not able to get
Speaker 7: to that level and you're always struggling, either you have
Speaker 7: people problems or partner problems in the company, or your
Speaker 7: financial problems and the market is not supporting. When you
Speaker 7: have all these forces coming at you, it's time to
Speaker 7: let it go, right, and let the ego go and
Speaker 7: then and then and the business go, and then you
Speaker 7: go onto something else. And if you're an experience I
Speaker 7: experienced entrepreneur, you would do that for your own mental health.
