<v Speaker 1>so stop yelling at me about things. But also I

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 1>will listen. We're here, Angela the Kitchen Listen.

0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 2>Hello, I'm so happy to be here.

0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 1>My icon, Mike Queen. It's okay. This is gonna sound

0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:01.640
<v Speaker 1>so freaky and weird, but like, I've watched so many

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:04.600
<v Speaker 1>videos of you cooking that, like I know what the

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:06.240
<v Speaker 1>tattoos are on your wrists.

0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:08.480
<v Speaker 2>That's so funny. Well, I just got new ones, so

0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:09.760
<v Speaker 2>now you're gonna have to learn the new ones.

0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 1>So this is like a bit of an untraditional episode

0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:20.320
<v Speaker 1>because much like the Shawn King episode which y'all niggas

0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:22.840
<v Speaker 1>got shot, you got me all blocked on all platforms

0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:25.440
<v Speaker 1>for Sean King. I didn't do that. I never tagged him.

0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:27.440
<v Speaker 1>I never wrote his full name in the episode. But

0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:31.440
<v Speaker 1>every time he was doing some function, people would drop

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:33.639
<v Speaker 1>the episode link under his photos. To the point where

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:35.240
<v Speaker 1>he blocked me on every social media.

0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.960
<v Speaker 2>That means you're doing something right. If he blocked you, I.

0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:41.400
<v Speaker 1>Know, I was proud. I was like, good, Yes, he's

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:46.800
<v Speaker 1>a criminal. He's a criminal criminal, like and oh my god,

0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.000
<v Speaker 1>a mess. So we're talking about criminal criminals today. But

0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:51.680
<v Speaker 1>first before we do that, Angela, I have to ask you,

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:54.320
<v Speaker 1>outside of what we know, we're here to talk about,

0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:58.160
<v Speaker 1>what's your relationship with scams. Have you ever been scammed?

0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:01.239
<v Speaker 1>You hate scammers? Do you like that? Like what it

0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 1>could be anything?

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 4>I'm definitely I've been scammed personal life and business. Like

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:10.920
<v Speaker 4>I've been scammed in the sense of dating people or

0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:14.560
<v Speaker 4>involved with people that had like you know, girlfriends or

0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:16.640
<v Speaker 4>wives or children that I didn't know about, like that

0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:22.040
<v Speaker 4>kind of thing. Business, I've been scammed with people that

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:25.680
<v Speaker 4>just couldn't do what they the way that they presented themselves.

0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:28.959
<v Speaker 4>Like my first encounter was was a woman that claimed

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.840
<v Speaker 4>that she could publish, like help me publish.

0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:32.440
<v Speaker 2>My first cookbook.

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.760
<v Speaker 4>This is like when I first hearted, and she turned

0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:37.240
<v Speaker 4>out to be a scammer like that, she had no experience.

0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:38.760
<v Speaker 2>It just kind of fell apart quickly.

0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:40.600
<v Speaker 4>So I've had a few situations like that in my

0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:41.960
<v Speaker 4>in my business life where.

0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:43.720
<v Speaker 1>People she said she could publish a Bookie was like

0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 1>ox KOs, that's my firm, that's my publishing company, FedEx Kikos.

0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:53.800
<v Speaker 4>It's crazy when you go back and read stuff and

0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:55.600
<v Speaker 4>you're like, how did I fall for that? But yeah,

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.560
<v Speaker 4>she I mean she was like a jack of all trade,

0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:00.840
<v Speaker 4>so early in the day she was pretending to be

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 4>a publisher.

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Charisma, that's how you feel for it. Like there's a

0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.280
<v Speaker 1>confidence that a lot of scammers have that is very

0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:11.720
<v Speaker 1>disarming that people fall in love with and then they

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.120
<v Speaker 1>think that you can do things that you can And

0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 1>because a lot of people who are successful in whatever

0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:20.160
<v Speaker 1>they do are pretty confident in it because they've done

0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:21.800
<v Speaker 1>it for a long time and they know it. So

0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:25.240
<v Speaker 1>when you see a scammer adopt that same swag, you're like, oh, yeah,

0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 1>this is what you do. Right.

0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:30.000
<v Speaker 4>Meanwhile, they're just making all I know. I say, like,

0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:31.880
<v Speaker 4>I want to move through life with the confidence of

0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:32.400
<v Speaker 4>a scammer.

0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:35.359
<v Speaker 1>Next time, Yes, I love that for you. Also, like

0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.680
<v Speaker 1>what a word like that's I think that's the word

0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:40.480
<v Speaker 1>of the episode. Move through life with the confidence of

0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 1>a scammer. Yes, wake up every day, look in the

0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:47.279
<v Speaker 1>mirror and say, yes, I could scam, I could do robbery,

0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:48.360
<v Speaker 1>I could do fraud.

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:50.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't even need the experience. I can do it.

0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:57.719
<v Speaker 1>Yes. Okay. So on the show, we do something in

0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:01.279
<v Speaker 1>the beginning that's called what's hot fraud? Well, we're warn

0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 1>our listeners and people about what is popping in the

0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:08.080
<v Speaker 1>streets or more often than not, our listeners will snitch

0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:11.240
<v Speaker 1>on their friends, families, and themselves scam gottispod gmail dot com.

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Just make sure that your scam is retired so that

0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:16.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't want fuck up your bag exactly. Like, make

0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.320
<v Speaker 1>sure you've done before you tell us. Okay, because I

0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:24.239
<v Speaker 1>feel like my FBI agent, uh Stephen, he really be listening.

0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:27.880
<v Speaker 2>Don't explose yourself.

0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I got good FBI agents. Okay. So I this

0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:35.000
<v Speaker 1>is a short one because this is probably gonna be

0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:36.800
<v Speaker 1>a longer episode. So this is a short What's hot

0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 1>in fraud? Give me a fake name, Angela could be anything.

0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:42.960
<v Speaker 1>We don't care about. Gender, Katrina, Katrina I like that, Katrina.

0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:47.560
<v Speaker 1>So Katrina says, Hey, Lacy, I just listened to your

0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh first of all, Katrina, why do you spell my

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:53.720
<v Speaker 1>name la c e y? My name is in everything

0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:58.040
<v Speaker 1>that I do, It's on every handle. It's Laci. Why

<v Speaker 1>y'all be doing that? Y la zol? I just want

0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:03.880
<v Speaker 1>to say that. So also, like, do spell it wrong?

0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Because like I don't need the government on all my stuff,

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:10.400
<v Speaker 1>So let's, you know, keep it diverse. I think I

0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 1>like it. So says I just listened to your podcast

0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:16.320
<v Speaker 1>when you talked about Bacon Bitch. Tracy Hudson basically made

0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:19.880
<v Speaker 1>a bootleg restaurant that was supposed to be like Bacon Bitch,

0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:23.719
<v Speaker 1>no way but yeah, and then turned it into Brunch Bitch.

0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.000
<v Speaker 1>But I thought it was fantastic because it's like very

0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 1>similar logos, very similar menu. Dang, people just have no

0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:35.640
<v Speaker 1>sh mac Arnold's. She did mc arnolds from Coming to America.

0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:37.919
<v Speaker 1>When y'all got McDonald's, we got mac Arnold's.

0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:41.440
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I can't even try.

0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:45.039
<v Speaker 1>I love it. I love the laziness. It's I'm here for.

0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 1>So since I just listened to your podcast when you

<v Speaker 1>this are coming from Forbes article why food blogger Angela

0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:21.280

<v Speaker 1>Darius Cooks Williams Tonight's claims that he is a crook,

0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:36.960
<v Speaker 1>and then the State of Georgia Consumer Protection Division.

0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:40.080
<v Speaker 4>Yes, and that is why we could legally call him

0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.679
<v Speaker 4>a scammer, because Georgia determined that Georgia was.

0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Like, no, but he do crime. No, they said they know.

0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:52.120
<v Speaker 1>So Angela is known as the Kitchenese to an American chef,

0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:55.480
<v Speaker 1>food blogger, recipe developer, cookbook author. She's here, We've talked

0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:57.480
<v Speaker 1>about this. She also created her blog The Kitchenese and

0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:01.079
<v Speaker 1>Diaries in twenty twelve. We also know that right She's

0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:04.800
<v Speaker 1>appeared in news outlets like Huffington, Pose Hour, Detroit Food

0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:08.000
<v Speaker 1>fifty two at the Washington Post. So like, Angela's here

0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.480
<v Speaker 1>and she has the things she's a seasoned professional, and

0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:13.480
<v Speaker 1>the girls know, they know I.

0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Do my job.

0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Yes, some of us actually quick So in twenty fourteen,

0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:21.640
<v Speaker 1>and this is crazy because this is like a very

0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:24.360
<v Speaker 1>interesting episode because I'm talking about you, but you're here,

0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:28.400
<v Speaker 1>and so some of this sounds like it's not like

0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:31.360
<v Speaker 1>you're here, but it says in twenty fourteen, Davis started

0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.920
<v Speaker 1>seeing some of Darius Williams videos like circulating around the internet.

0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:37.520
<v Speaker 1>She had a Twitter conversation with a friend, a pastry streff,

0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:40.079
<v Speaker 1>critiquing some of what she had seen, but never actually

0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:43.600
<v Speaker 1>tagging Williams nor involving him directly. So, do you remember

0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:46.920
<v Speaker 1>what that is? Like what you saw that gave you pause?

0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:50.840
<v Speaker 4>It was, well, we were looking at his blogs. I

0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.480
<v Speaker 4>don't remember what specific, like what video was going around,

0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:56.480
<v Speaker 4>but it prompted us to look at his blog. So

0:10:56.520 --> 0:11:00.320
<v Speaker 4>we were kind of running through the recipes at that time.

0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:02.720
<v Speaker 4>And I think my friend it was the cupcakes that

0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:04.680
<v Speaker 4>caught her eye because she's a pastry chef.

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.680
<v Speaker 2>And it was like a greasy cupcake liner.

0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:10.360
<v Speaker 4>And so at the beginning of the conversation started out

0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:12.240
<v Speaker 4>like she was explaining to me like how he could

0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:14.360
<v Speaker 4>have done it differently, And then we just kind of

0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:17.240
<v Speaker 4>went back and forth in a general sense about how.

0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:20.079
<v Speaker 2>Like sloppy the work was. I remember going to like.

0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:22.560
<v Speaker 4>I just browsed through some of his recipes and the

0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:26.440
<v Speaker 4>instructions were so vague that it came across to me

0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:30.160
<v Speaker 4>as lazy, because I you know, I was like a

0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:31.680
<v Speaker 4>couple of years out at my blog at that point,

0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:33.200
<v Speaker 4>and I know how much work it was just to

0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:36.160
<v Speaker 4>explain a recipe in a way that somebody could really

0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:38.600
<v Speaker 4>learn from it, and everything that he was.

0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Putting out just seemed like the exact opposite of that.

0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:43.280
<v Speaker 1>And I will say that I think he got away

0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:46.040
<v Speaker 1>with that for so long because there was like a

0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:50.720
<v Speaker 1>kitchiness to him. There's like a comedic aspect. So some

0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:53.640
<v Speaker 1>it's almost like those white women who make those videos

0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.840
<v Speaker 1>where they make nachos on their counter and Speakara on

0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.760
<v Speaker 1>their counter. It was like clickbait, and so I think

0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:03.080
<v Speaker 1>that that he used that to his advantage. The issue

0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:05.560
<v Speaker 1>is that he is really also trying to purport himself

0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:08.959
<v Speaker 1>as a real chef and sell recipe books, So it's like,

0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:10.480
<v Speaker 1>since which is right.

0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:13.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that he realized that it was funny.

0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh. I think.

0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:20.160
<v Speaker 4>I think he thought he was really doing the thing,

0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:21.960
<v Speaker 4>you know, like going back because I watched I went

0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:24.079
<v Speaker 4>back to some of his oldest videos when he first

0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:26.320
<v Speaker 4>started cooking. It was like two thousand and eight, and

0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:29.920
<v Speaker 4>I found his Master Chef audition. He was taking himself seriously.

0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:32.440
<v Speaker 4>He really should have just been a comedian from that

0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:32.960
<v Speaker 4>point and it.

0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:33.720
<v Speaker 2>Would have been great.

0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.120
<v Speaker 1>I saw when you tweeted about that, because wasn't he

0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:38.120
<v Speaker 1>talk about some sss all or something.

0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:41.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, I was just falling out of the pantry,

0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:43.040
<v Speaker 4>and like he looked. It was like he was looking

0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:44.840
<v Speaker 4>at sets for the first time as he's doing this

0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:48.640
<v Speaker 4>audition and talking about his secret ingredients. So yeah, he

0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:52.360
<v Speaker 4>wasn't taking himself seriously. But but he It's just weird

0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:55.760
<v Speaker 4>because all this time pretending to be a cook, he

0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:58.480
<v Speaker 4>could have just learned how to cook right like you.

0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:00.520
<v Speaker 1>And that's the thing about scamming is like a lot

0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.679
<v Speaker 1>of times people have skills, but they're just kind of

0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:06.680
<v Speaker 1>lazy and don't want to hone them when they realize

0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:09.240
<v Speaker 1>they don't have to. So that makes sense. And so

0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:11.839
<v Speaker 1>when you had this conversation about the cupcakes, I guess

0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:16.960
<v Speaker 1>he screenshoted it and posted to his Instagram and alluded

0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:19.599
<v Speaker 1>to you not supporting black chefs.

0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:26.680
<v Speaker 4>That's his yeah, that's his recollection, is that he approached me.

0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:28.840
<v Speaker 2>I think. I think in his.

0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:32.000
<v Speaker 4>Interview with Larry Reid, he was he was saying I

0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:34.240
<v Speaker 4>approached her and said, you know, we should work together

0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:36.280
<v Speaker 4>because that's there's not too many black people out there.

0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:38.760
<v Speaker 4>But that's not actually, that's not what he did. Like

0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:42.880
<v Speaker 4>when he screenshot it, he presented it to his audience

0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:44.800
<v Speaker 4>that I was hating on him, and this is why

0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.480
<v Speaker 4>black you know, I don't know why black cooks can't

0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:49.640
<v Speaker 4>get along or black food blog or something like that,

0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:54.080
<v Speaker 4>which is manipulative of course, of course, I mean from

0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.560
<v Speaker 4>the very beginning, this is what he does. Like he

0:13:56.559 --> 0:14:00.520
<v Speaker 4>he you know, he hides his hand and likes to

0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:03.760
<v Speaker 4>come off as if he was the one being nice

0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:06.600
<v Speaker 4>and like, I can't imagine why anybody would would make

0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:09.320
<v Speaker 4>fun of me or hate on me the whole while

0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:10.440
<v Speaker 4>he's like he's harassing me.

0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:12.800
<v Speaker 2>I had a much smaller audience.

0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:15.400
<v Speaker 4>At the time, and my friend had an even smaller audience,

0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:20.560
<v Speaker 4>so she was pretty taken aback by the harassment. It

0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:22.640
<v Speaker 4>wasn't completely new to me at that point. I had

0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:25.479
<v Speaker 4>experienced a little bit of online abuse, but it was unexcusable.

0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:26.600
<v Speaker 2>You know, it was like a whole week.

0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:30.000
<v Speaker 4>Of course, it was the way that he presented it

0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:30.920
<v Speaker 4>instead of just.

0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:35.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I mean, he really he should have

0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:36.440
<v Speaker 2>taken the advice to be honest.

0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:40.240
<v Speaker 1>He went full Karen. He went full Central part Karen.

0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:42.640
<v Speaker 1>He was like, I'm big attacked, I'm big attacked.

0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:45.400
<v Speaker 4>But was like doing the Yeah, it's so for me,

0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:47.440
<v Speaker 4>Like these people are just making fun of me on

0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:47.920
<v Speaker 4>the internet.

0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yes, exactly. So let's get into his scams. We're

0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:57.600
<v Speaker 1>starting with Soul Crab and greens Engraving. So Crab is

0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:00.880
<v Speaker 1>one of several restaurants the Darius owned in Atlanta, Georgia.

0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:03.640
<v Speaker 1>As more information started coming out regarding Darius, a former

0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.320
<v Speaker 1>server from a now shuttered Soul Crap gave her account

0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:09.760
<v Speaker 1>a physical assault by him, and there are tweets that

0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:11.840
<v Speaker 1>will post to the page. In an exclusive interview with

0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:16.080
<v Speaker 1>black Wood Enterprise, william says the reason that Kiara didn't

0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:20.000
<v Speaker 1>receive her money was because she never completed onboarding despite

0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:24.520
<v Speaker 1>being shorted on payroll, and this is an alleged common

0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:28.320
<v Speaker 1>occurrence with a lot of his employees and it's very

0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:32.480
<v Speaker 1>cute to call it shorted on payroll. Nigg you robbing me.

0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:36.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing work and I'm not getting currency for it.

0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:37.160
<v Speaker 1>What's going on?

0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:40.080
<v Speaker 4>Don playing that? And it's been two years since the

0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:44.400
<v Speaker 4>restaurant closed? Like why is a server still looking for money?

0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:50.600
<v Speaker 1>Also? How does someone not complete onboarding paperwork but they

0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:52.280
<v Speaker 1>working right?

0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:58.160
<v Speaker 4>So you didn't do your job right? Blaming the worker.

0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:01.840
<v Speaker 4>That's not that's even true, right.

0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Well, you didn't sign here in initial here, so that's

0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:05.800
<v Speaker 1>why we can't pay you, even though you've been working

0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:07.760
<v Speaker 1>here for two years. Like what what?

0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:09.960
<v Speaker 4>It just it doesn't make any sense for it to

0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:12.400
<v Speaker 4>have gone to that point where she was that upset.

0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:15.640
<v Speaker 4>She never should have been the math thing man for

0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:18.400
<v Speaker 4>her check. Of course she was upset.

0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:20.960
<v Speaker 1>So he also denies the assault, saying that she began

0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:23.720
<v Speaker 1>being irate with him. He says he reviewed the video

0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:26.720
<v Speaker 1>footage with responding officers and admits, so I did put

0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:29.160
<v Speaker 1>my hands on her. This is a quote from Black Enterprise.

0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:31.880
<v Speaker 1>But I put both hands on her shoulders to kind

0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.880
<v Speaker 1>of turn her so we could go discuss this outside.

0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:40.160
<v Speaker 1>So you put your hands on her, right, that's as all? Yeah,

0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:43.520
<v Speaker 1>Like that's I think that's the definition, right, And I would.

0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:44.880
<v Speaker 4>Love to see the tape. I mean, I don't know

0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:49.440
<v Speaker 4>why the tape hasn't surface yet. It was it's completely.

0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Different than his.

0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:51.240
<v Speaker 1>I didn't saw it.

0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:52.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna believe her.

0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:52.840
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Also, that's like me being like I get to a

0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:57.320
<v Speaker 1>fist fight. I didn't have saw her. I just massaged

0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:00.400
<v Speaker 1>her eye, socking with my fists, which walked her out

0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:01.160
<v Speaker 1>outside the door.

0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:03.720
<v Speaker 4>Okay, right, So the two women that had to pry

0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:05.280
<v Speaker 4>his hands off of her.

0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Were just making that up too.

0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I gave her a hug with my hands around a throat.

0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:12.920
<v Speaker 2>What interaction?

0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:15.800
<v Speaker 4>He's yeah, he just he lies, He lies with everything.

0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:18.879
<v Speaker 4>But it was it was just so disturbing that that

0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:21.320
<v Speaker 4>he brushed it off and then in another interview just

0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:24.359
<v Speaker 4>claimed to not even know her name. It's just like,

0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:26.679
<v Speaker 4>that's just so offensive to me that you now you

0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:28.520
<v Speaker 4>have somebody that came out and said you didn't pay me,

0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:30.680
<v Speaker 4>you assaulted me, and you can't even bother to learn

0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:32.760
<v Speaker 4>your employee's name. Right.

0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:36.119
<v Speaker 1>And also in the Black Enterprise article, he brought up

0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:39.520
<v Speaker 1>his queerness, saying, you know, I'm a gay man, like,

0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:42.720
<v Speaker 1>how could I harm women? And I was like, what

0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:43.400
<v Speaker 1>what did that mean?

0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:46.359
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely nothing to do with he's he's been doing that

0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:46.920
<v Speaker 2>a lot lately.

0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:50.240
<v Speaker 4>That's that's that's the new deflection, is that I'm a

0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:50.680
<v Speaker 4>gay man.

0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:53.320
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't possibly be harming woman. It just doesn't make

0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:53.840
<v Speaker 2>any sense.

0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh gay, How could I be a criminal? Like news

0:17:58.359 --> 0:17:58.560
<v Speaker 1>to me?

0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:01.119
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know. That's that's not gonna hold up

0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:01.720
<v Speaker 2>very long court.

0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:03.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm right, I didn't know that. That's I don't think

0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:05.000
<v Speaker 1>you can be like, yeah, you're honored.

0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:10.919
<v Speaker 2>I don't even like women could hurt them.

0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:14.440
<v Speaker 1>You're honored. I engage the same sex dating. Hell, could

0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:20.719
<v Speaker 1>I be a criminal gay to do crimes? What did

0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:21.240
<v Speaker 1>he say in that?

0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:23.119
<v Speaker 4>Because I was just watching it last night and I

0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:25.080
<v Speaker 4>think it was the Larry Read interview and he says

0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:27.600
<v Speaker 4>he said that I must not have known that he's

0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:29.640
<v Speaker 4>a that he's at sissy like he said that word.

0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:32.199
<v Speaker 2>It's just it's just crazy.

0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:38.520
<v Speaker 1>What that mean? Your honor? I couldn't have hurt that woman.

0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:42.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm gay. I like I just the mathe mathod And

0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:44.840
<v Speaker 1>that's that's gonna be the through line for all of this,

0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:48.120
<v Speaker 1>is that the math just will never math so soul

0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:51.920
<v Speaker 1>cry so Darius's other restaurant, Greens and Gravy, shut down

0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:54.560
<v Speaker 1>this past February without notice. He announced in an Instagram

0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:57.600
<v Speaker 1>post that they were shuddering, but did not provide additional details. Later,

0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:00.640
<v Speaker 1>he said it was due to his mental health. And

0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:03.560
<v Speaker 1>I want to bring this up because it seems like

0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:09.760
<v Speaker 1>anything that is a struggle or a situation where you're marginalized,

0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Darius likes to capitalize on that. You know, he did

0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:14.520
<v Speaker 1>it when he posted you on his Instagram and was like,

0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:17.399
<v Speaker 1>black people, why can't we get along? Crab sent a barrel,

0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:20.600
<v Speaker 1>also sold grab my restaurant, And then he did it

0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.640
<v Speaker 1>with being homosexual, like I couldn't hit a woman I'm gay.

0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:29.720
<v Speaker 1>And then he shut down his restaurants and said I

0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:32.479
<v Speaker 1>had closed my businesses because I'm depressed. And it's like

0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:37.600
<v Speaker 1>this brings out the pill bottles, right, And it's like, also,

0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:41.399
<v Speaker 1>I realized on your social media that he sent a

0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:44.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of his fans after you, attacking you for your

0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:46.880
<v Speaker 1>mental health, trying to say that because you were exposing

0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:51.600
<v Speaker 1>a criminal, that you were mentally First of all, those

0:19:51.640 --> 0:19:53.520
<v Speaker 1>two things don't walk hand in hand. I suffer from

0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:56.280
<v Speaker 1>professional anxiety. That doesn't make me a bad person. It

0:19:56.320 --> 0:20:00.000
<v Speaker 1>doesn't make me do bad things to people like they're different.

0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:03.919
<v Speaker 1>But he used an excuse of mental health and then

0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:07.720
<v Speaker 1>tried to have people attack you saying that you were

0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:08.320
<v Speaker 1>mentally ill.

0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:12.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he's, I mean, he's it's more reflection. See, I've

0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:14.080
<v Speaker 4>always been open about my mental health.

0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:16.120
<v Speaker 2>I talk about it all the time.

0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:18.480
<v Speaker 4>I was diagnosed as by polar when I'm twenty five,

0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:20.760
<v Speaker 4>when I was twenty five, and I've always been open

0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:21.159
<v Speaker 4>about it.

0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:22.200
<v Speaker 2>It's just part of my life.

0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:25.840
<v Speaker 4>And so the interesting thing is that he never ever,

0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:29.520
<v Speaker 4>ever talked about mental health until the restaurants I went

0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:32.040
<v Speaker 4>back and let through his feed. It's not even mentioned

0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:34.280
<v Speaker 4>like nothing but the question, nothing about therapy, nothing about

0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:37.239
<v Speaker 4>mental health, right, and now this is the reason. And

0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:40.280
<v Speaker 4>you know, everybody goes through what they go through. I'm

0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:42.720
<v Speaker 4>not discrediting it. I can't prove that he's lying. However,

0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:47.880
<v Speaker 4>I do think it was a convenient time to now

0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:50.040
<v Speaker 4>start talking about your mental health and put out pill

0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:52.119
<v Speaker 4>bottles as crops. I just I think it's disgusting as

0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:55.720
<v Speaker 4>somebody that actually goes through it, because I don't know

0:20:55.720 --> 0:20:58.840
<v Speaker 4>if you saw the latest what I realized after I've

0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:01.080
<v Speaker 4>been tracking this for a month and I started. I

0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:06.560
<v Speaker 4>had never looked through his ebooks. He plagiarized his holiday

0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:09.960
<v Speaker 4>e book based on mine. I put out all, Yeah,

0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:12.359
<v Speaker 4>I put out a holiday My first holiday book was

0:21:12.400 --> 0:21:14.720
<v Speaker 4>in twenty fifteen. It was a Thanksgiving book, and then

0:21:14.840 --> 0:21:18.399
<v Speaker 4>I did I followed up twenty sixteen with a revised version.

0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:20.679
<v Speaker 4>It was a full holiday menu, and the concept was

0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:23.040
<v Speaker 4>a full holiday menu in one book, with grocery lists

0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:27.960
<v Speaker 4>and like tips for holiday prep, all my own photography,

0:21:28.160 --> 0:21:30.879
<v Speaker 4>like original recipes. I think it's about forty recipes. I

0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:35.439
<v Speaker 4>start out with like an intro about family traditions and

0:21:35.440 --> 0:21:38.320
<v Speaker 4>how much that means to me and how I'm trying

0:21:38.359 --> 0:21:42.480
<v Speaker 4>to preserve those traditions and learn how to cook so

0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:44.399
<v Speaker 4>that I can put food on the table for my family.

0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:46.800
<v Speaker 4>And I talked about how important it was, like from

0:21:46.800 --> 0:21:49.159
<v Speaker 4>a very personal place, and it happened to be the

0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:50.880
<v Speaker 4>book that I put out when I quit my job,

0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:53.240
<v Speaker 4>like that allowed me to continue my journey.

0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:56.560
<v Speaker 2>Well. I had never seen his content because I blocked

0:21:56.640 --> 0:21:57.560
<v Speaker 2>him at twenty fourteen.

0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:00.200
<v Speaker 4>He put out a holiday book a year after or

0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:02.439
<v Speaker 4>I did, and I started going through it. I did

0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:06.000
<v Speaker 4>a thread on Twitter, and there's just too many coincidences.

0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:09.360
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna call it like for me to ignore, right,

0:22:09.520 --> 0:22:12.240
<v Speaker 4>Like the whole concept rips off of my book down

0:22:12.320 --> 0:22:15.000
<v Speaker 4>to like like I'll give you an example, like the

0:22:15.040 --> 0:22:17.159
<v Speaker 4>type of recipes I did, the traditional you know, like

0:22:17.200 --> 0:22:19.560
<v Speaker 4>turkey hymn, and then I have alternatives.

0:22:19.600 --> 0:22:22.040
<v Speaker 2>I did a like pistachio crusted.

0:22:21.680 --> 0:22:26.760
<v Speaker 4>Salmon, and there's a coffee rubbed beef roast, and there's

0:22:26.840 --> 0:22:31.399
<v Speaker 4>cornish hens. Well guess what's in his book? Cornish hens,

0:22:31.960 --> 0:22:34.399
<v Speaker 4>a beef roast and cong crusted salmon.

0:22:35.320 --> 0:22:38.760
<v Speaker 1>It a little bit.

0:22:42.520 --> 0:22:44.600
<v Speaker 4>He just switches up like one or two ingredients and

0:22:44.600 --> 0:22:47.000
<v Speaker 4>then cuts out half of my instructions to make it

0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:50.040
<v Speaker 4>like this sloppy, easy version of whatever I did. So

0:22:50.119 --> 0:22:51.520
<v Speaker 4>I went through the whole book and it's just it's

0:22:51.560 --> 0:22:53.240
<v Speaker 4>a lot of it's a lot of shit like that,

0:22:53.480 --> 0:22:56.040
<v Speaker 4>even down to the intro, Like we're questioning if his

0:22:56.119 --> 0:22:58.960
<v Speaker 4>grandmother even existed at this point because a lot of

0:22:59.000 --> 0:23:03.240
<v Speaker 4>the stories are adding. Like every interview he does, he

0:23:03.320 --> 0:23:05.639
<v Speaker 4>switches up the age that he was when he was

0:23:05.640 --> 0:23:08.119
<v Speaker 4>cooking with her. He switches up his grandmother's been everywhere

0:23:08.119 --> 0:23:11.240
<v Speaker 4>from like Chicago to Mississippi to Kentucky.

0:23:11.320 --> 0:23:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Now, so what I realized in college.

0:23:15.760 --> 0:23:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I kept killing my one dad aunt to get out

0:23:19.080 --> 0:23:22.359
<v Speaker 1>of finals, to get out of doing everything. I'd be like,

0:23:22.400 --> 0:23:25.240
<v Speaker 1>oh she doesnet die again, y'all. Here here's those bitua.

0:23:26.200 --> 0:23:29.439
<v Speaker 1>I moved the sunrise to sunset. Oh my dad so

0:23:29.560 --> 0:23:33.439
<v Speaker 1>many times. Her sunset was in twenty twelve. It was

0:23:33.520 --> 0:23:35.560
<v Speaker 1>also in twenty fifteen. It was.

0:23:36.400 --> 0:23:37.080
<v Speaker 2>That's terrible.

0:23:39.160 --> 0:23:41.200
<v Speaker 4>I guess maybe that's what he's doing, is like Pam's

0:23:41.240 --> 0:23:42.720
<v Speaker 4>just been all of it, like the whole book that

0:23:42.800 --> 0:23:45.600
<v Speaker 4>he put out, stories from my grandmother's kitchen, Like all

0:23:45.600 --> 0:23:49.120
<v Speaker 4>those clots are made up about panms, like Pam didn't

0:23:49.119 --> 0:23:53.719
<v Speaker 4>make avocado toast, His grandmother didn't make avocado toast, Like

0:23:53.920 --> 0:23:56.919
<v Speaker 4>she didn't make a Strengthen Chariza Burger like why is

0:23:56.920 --> 0:23:58.000
<v Speaker 4>he lying on his grandmother?

0:23:58.359 --> 0:23:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Why are you lying on his girl? But like that,

0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:01.720
<v Speaker 1>why else to do that?

0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:05.800
<v Speaker 4>He has a great his grandmother pat he pretended to

0:24:05.800 --> 0:24:08.720
<v Speaker 4>be me. So I think that's where like the mental

0:24:08.760 --> 0:24:11.280
<v Speaker 4>health park comes up. I went through his old interviews,

0:24:11.320 --> 0:24:14.080
<v Speaker 4>and he had like different stories about when he went

0:24:14.119 --> 0:24:16.320
<v Speaker 4>to college, Like first he said he had a biblical

0:24:16.400 --> 0:24:18.280
<v Speaker 4>he had a degree in biblical studies.

0:24:18.560 --> 0:24:20.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, somebody went in contact to that college. I never

0:24:20.880 --> 0:24:21.400
<v Speaker 2>heard of him.

0:24:21.720 --> 0:24:24.240
<v Speaker 4>It's like Moody Bible Institute, Like we got a letter

0:24:24.280 --> 0:24:26.320
<v Speaker 4>back and they're saying, Nope, never heard of him.

0:24:26.800 --> 0:24:29.120
<v Speaker 1>And I also want you to know that you might

0:24:29.160 --> 0:24:31.080
<v Speaker 1>be Darius's grandma, like when he.

0:24:31.560 --> 0:24:33.840
<v Speaker 2>Like, that's probably the next iteration of the story.

0:24:35.520 --> 0:24:38.880
<v Speaker 4>So he and then he and then as as it evolved,

0:24:38.880 --> 0:24:40.879
<v Speaker 4>as his journey involved by the time you get to

0:24:40.960 --> 0:24:43.480
<v Speaker 4>like twenty fourteen, which is when I started doing interviews,

0:24:44.000 --> 0:24:47.080
<v Speaker 4>now he's claiming to have a fourteen year HR career

0:24:48.080 --> 0:24:53.080
<v Speaker 4>and he left a commercial real estate company to pursue

0:24:53.920 --> 0:24:55.080
<v Speaker 4>cookbooks and catering.

0:24:55.280 --> 0:24:56.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, guess what I was doing.

0:24:56.320 --> 0:24:59.040
<v Speaker 4>I was working at a commercial construction company and I

0:24:59.040 --> 0:25:01.520
<v Speaker 4>had a ten year account. Like I like, this is

0:25:02.080 --> 0:25:04.760
<v Speaker 4>it's like single white female. Like his whole story shifted

0:25:05.240 --> 0:25:06.320
<v Speaker 4>to look like mine.

0:25:07.040 --> 0:25:08.480
<v Speaker 1>So he did.

0:25:08.560 --> 0:25:11.040
<v Speaker 4>I had him blocked, and I'm not realizing that he's

0:25:11.080 --> 0:25:14.560
<v Speaker 4>copying my books and he's copying my actual story right,

0:25:15.080 --> 0:25:17.840
<v Speaker 4>like my life story. And I think the mental health

0:25:17.960 --> 0:25:20.560
<v Speaker 4>was just like an extension of that because a year

0:25:20.600 --> 0:25:23.000
<v Speaker 4>prior I have talked openly about having like a mental

0:25:23.040 --> 0:25:30.560
<v Speaker 4>health crisis, and now conveniently here's various list with It's like,

0:25:30.600 --> 0:25:32.240
<v Speaker 4>what's next, you know, being.

0:25:32.320 --> 0:25:34.879
<v Speaker 1>Being alive and being yourself as hard. You know, if

0:25:34.920 --> 0:25:37.800
<v Speaker 1>you find somebody who's just got everything you want, maybe

0:25:38.080 --> 0:25:40.440
<v Speaker 1>just be them.

0:25:40.520 --> 0:25:42.880
<v Speaker 4>I was sous, like the only thing he couldn't plagiarize

0:25:42.920 --> 0:25:46.080
<v Speaker 4>was my children. And then I went back in the

0:25:46.119 --> 0:25:49.600
<v Speaker 4>book and the book he put hes he copied tips

0:25:49.600 --> 0:25:51.560
<v Speaker 4>that like don't actually fit in his book. He copied

0:25:51.560 --> 0:25:54.240
<v Speaker 4>tips for recipes he didn't even have, so he so

0:25:54.400 --> 0:25:57.480
<v Speaker 4>he copied a tip about letting your kids set the table,

0:25:57.520 --> 0:25:59.480
<v Speaker 4>like he actually put that in his book. Just find

0:25:59.520 --> 0:26:02.000
<v Speaker 4>a kid at the table, sign a kid.

0:26:02.600 --> 0:26:06.800
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to, you know, Darius is probably sitting there, like, damn, okay,

0:26:06.880 --> 0:26:09.520
<v Speaker 1>this has been working thus far. She's my fake grandma.

0:26:09.560 --> 0:26:12.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm stealing all these quotes. I'm stealing these recipes. Oh damn,

0:26:12.359 --> 0:26:14.639
<v Speaker 1>she got kids. I don't got kids. How can I

0:26:14.640 --> 0:26:22.080
<v Speaker 1>work this out? Find it? Child may here. Find a

0:26:22.200 --> 0:26:25.680
<v Speaker 1>child's cential table, whether you have them or not, Like.

0:26:26.840 --> 0:26:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Just just find a random kids asking us a kid.

0:26:29.400 --> 0:26:33.119
<v Speaker 1>Go outside on the street and find a child to

0:26:33.280 --> 0:26:38.280
<v Speaker 1>sential table. Amen. You know that's hilarious. I'm sorry, Like

0:26:38.760 --> 0:26:41.879
<v Speaker 1>what it's insane? So there are more issues at his

0:26:41.920 --> 0:26:45.119
<v Speaker 1>restaurants than just disgruntled employees, according to a former kitchen

0:26:45.119 --> 0:26:48.000
<v Speaker 1>manager who spoke with Black Enterprise. And so this is

0:26:48.040 --> 0:26:52.159
<v Speaker 1>a quote. And so when the people Health inspectors came in,

0:26:52.359 --> 0:26:55.199
<v Speaker 1>they failed it. His license wasn't up to par. He

0:26:55.200 --> 0:26:58.160
<v Speaker 1>owed almost twenty five thousand dollars to the light department.

0:26:58.280 --> 0:27:00.240
<v Speaker 1>So when they handed me the letter saying that lights

0:27:00.240 --> 0:27:02.359
<v Speaker 1>were getting ready to be cut off, twenty five thousand

0:27:02.400 --> 0:27:05.320
<v Speaker 1>dollars or we're cutting off the light, basically, I told

0:27:05.359 --> 0:27:09.880
<v Speaker 1>my crew go home, cut them off. A whole millionaire

0:27:10.000 --> 0:27:12.720
<v Speaker 1>with his lights getting turned off, right, a whole millionaire.

0:27:12.800 --> 0:27:14.840
<v Speaker 1>But you can't. We can't have a fluorescence.

0:27:15.320 --> 0:27:19.119
<v Speaker 4>We can't have not even a flashlight, not even a candle, right,

0:27:19.359 --> 0:27:20.640
<v Speaker 4>like the lights.

0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:22.640
<v Speaker 1>What's going on? But listen, Darius, just like you don't

0:27:22.640 --> 0:27:26.560
<v Speaker 1>need to see the food, probably for a good reason.

0:27:26.720 --> 0:27:29.160
<v Speaker 1>And so you couldn't see the rats and the roach, right.

0:27:29.240 --> 0:27:31.600
<v Speaker 1>He was like, look, I'm giving vibes. Okay, y'all come

0:27:31.760 --> 0:27:34.000
<v Speaker 1>here and get vibes. Y'all need to see stuff. What

0:27:34.080 --> 0:27:37.320
<v Speaker 1>do you need to see? Set out? You're setting the

0:27:37.320 --> 0:27:40.560
<v Speaker 1>scene right. Additionally, when the restaurants shut down, there were

0:27:40.600 --> 0:27:44.280
<v Speaker 1>problems regarding final checks. This is another quote from Black Enterprise,

0:27:44.920 --> 0:27:47.480
<v Speaker 1>from someone who's employed. You left them people with no

0:27:47.560 --> 0:27:50.119
<v Speaker 1>paychecks for months. It took them threatening to sue you

0:27:50.200 --> 0:27:53.080
<v Speaker 1>before you even gave them an allowance because it wasn't

0:27:53.080 --> 0:27:56.280
<v Speaker 1>their full paycheck. So you just gave them whatever the

0:27:56.320 --> 0:27:58.880
<v Speaker 1>hell you wanted to give them to hell with my payroll,

0:27:59.160 --> 0:28:04.720
<v Speaker 1>hell with everything. Right before Darry's that's shameful. It's shameful.

0:28:04.760 --> 0:28:06.800
<v Speaker 1>You have to pay people what you owe them, like.

0:28:06.840 --> 0:28:09.919
<v Speaker 2>And this is this is into the pandemic. This is

0:28:09.920 --> 0:28:10.560
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty.

0:28:11.720 --> 0:28:15.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Wow, oh then that's even it's way worse. So

0:28:15.480 --> 0:28:18.560
<v Speaker 1>right before Darius shut down Greens and Gravy and Soul Crab,

0:28:18.640 --> 0:28:20.720
<v Speaker 1>he had just settled with the Georgia Department of Law

0:28:20.760 --> 0:28:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Consumer Protection Division as his company Above seven oh one

0:28:25.359 --> 0:28:27.960
<v Speaker 1>allegedly conducted a legal credit repair.

0:28:29.320 --> 0:28:34.359
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean not right there. He started this in

0:28:34.400 --> 0:28:36.720
<v Speaker 4>twenty sixteen. It was a different company name when he

0:28:36.760 --> 0:28:39.640
<v Speaker 4>started it before it switched above someone on one. I

0:28:39.720 --> 0:28:43.560
<v Speaker 4>just want to know why nobody thought that there was

0:28:43.560 --> 0:28:45.720
<v Speaker 4>something wrong with a food blogger just popping up with

0:28:45.720 --> 0:28:47.400
<v Speaker 4>a credit repair business out of nowhere.

0:28:47.920 --> 0:28:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Right, The math ain't math in there. If he was

0:28:51.240 --> 0:28:54.000
<v Speaker 1>like an account in or worked in finance, perhaps that

0:28:54.040 --> 0:28:56.680
<v Speaker 1>could be the next jump. But that's like me going

0:28:56.720 --> 0:28:59.360
<v Speaker 1>from being a comedian to be like, hey, y'all, I'm

0:28:59.360 --> 0:29:02.560
<v Speaker 1>selling door heart monitors. You're trying to get your heart

0:29:02.600 --> 0:29:05.680
<v Speaker 1>monitor all. Like it's like where did that come from?

0:29:06.360 --> 0:29:14.000
<v Speaker 4>Especially considering like his whole past, it's all it's like bankruptcies, evictions, lawsuits,

0:29:14.000 --> 0:29:15.600
<v Speaker 4>Like how do you have all that in your past?

0:29:15.600 --> 0:29:17.440
<v Speaker 2>And then you pop up and decide I'm gonna.

0:29:17.200 --> 0:29:21.080
<v Speaker 4>Fix everybody's credit right, No, no finance background whatsoever.

0:29:21.760 --> 0:29:24.600
<v Speaker 1>So above seven oh one's byline was because you can't

0:29:24.600 --> 0:29:27.200
<v Speaker 1>be flat with bad credit? Okay?

0:29:28.400 --> 0:29:31.920
<v Speaker 2>Wow? So is he praying a black people? Like it's

0:29:31.960 --> 0:29:34.600
<v Speaker 2>just it's funny, Like the ads are funny in the

0:29:34.680 --> 0:29:36.440
<v Speaker 2>sense that it's just they're so terrible.

0:29:37.520 --> 0:29:40.320
<v Speaker 4>But what he's doing is scamming the same people that

0:29:40.360 --> 0:29:43.560
<v Speaker 4>he claims to that support him, you.

0:29:43.520 --> 0:29:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Know, right, Southern black people seem saepy, all black women,

0:29:47.760 --> 0:29:52.400
<v Speaker 1>black women, and people with religious backgrounds. He's like, do

0:29:52.480 --> 0:29:54.040
<v Speaker 1>you want to get your credit face? Do you try

0:29:54.080 --> 0:29:56.760
<v Speaker 1>to get a new credit card? Skirts skirt? Okay? Like

0:29:57.040 --> 0:29:59.840
<v Speaker 1>he's like all those ads that whenever I go to Atlanta.

0:30:00.600 --> 0:30:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Atlanta has the most beautiful black radio ads that are

0:30:04.840 --> 0:30:07.520
<v Speaker 1>so deeply black and hilarious that I know a white

0:30:07.560 --> 0:30:10.560
<v Speaker 1>person wrote them.

0:30:11.240 --> 0:30:13.240
<v Speaker 2>That's how write, you know what, that's how he writes.

0:30:13.280 --> 0:30:17.000
<v Speaker 4>He writes like he's just like playing an African American

0:30:17.040 --> 0:30:17.800
<v Speaker 4>soul food cook.

0:30:18.120 --> 0:30:20.480
<v Speaker 1>Right. One of my favorite commercials when I went to

0:30:20.520 --> 0:30:22.959
<v Speaker 1>Atlanta was one eight hundred injured, and it was like

0:30:24.120 --> 0:30:25.200
<v Speaker 1>one eight hundred injured.

0:30:26.080 --> 0:30:26.360
<v Speaker 2>It was.

0:30:28.280 --> 0:30:31.240
<v Speaker 1>I was just driving my business. It was like I

0:30:31.320 --> 0:30:34.240
<v Speaker 1>was just driving minded my business. Somebody got behind me

0:30:34.480 --> 0:30:36.920
<v Speaker 1>skirt skirt my neck, hurt my back doo, and I

0:30:36.920 --> 0:30:38.880
<v Speaker 1>had to call the throone. I still remember it.

0:30:38.920 --> 0:30:40.040
<v Speaker 2>You got a call the thone.

0:30:40.600 --> 0:30:42.959
<v Speaker 4>That's his credit commercials, and it's all it's just all

0:30:43.000 --> 0:30:46.520
<v Speaker 4>about like fixing your credit so that you can buy something.

0:30:46.640 --> 0:30:49.160
<v Speaker 4>So even the ads are it's just like, you see

0:30:49.200 --> 0:30:51.720
<v Speaker 4>what the motivation is. It's not about getting your life together.

0:30:51.800 --> 0:30:54.840
<v Speaker 4>It's about like, let me like illegally fix your credit

0:30:54.960 --> 0:30:56.560
<v Speaker 4>so that you can get approved of this car or.

0:30:56.520 --> 0:30:59.880
<v Speaker 1>This house so that you can be fly and stunt

0:31:00.240 --> 0:31:03.360
<v Speaker 1>people with the same bad credit. And so he did

0:31:03.400 --> 0:31:06.400
<v Speaker 1>this as long as you paid him a monthly fee.

0:31:06.480 --> 0:31:08.520
<v Speaker 1>He said that he would fix your credit. This is

0:31:08.560 --> 0:31:11.720
<v Speaker 1>an illegal practice in Georgia. In December twenty nineteen, the

0:31:11.720 --> 0:31:14.240
<v Speaker 1>State of Georgia announced that one hundred and forty seven

0:31:14.320 --> 0:31:17.440
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifty dollars settlement with Above seven oh one

0:31:17.520 --> 0:31:20.120
<v Speaker 1>and Williams was happening. So they were like, you're doing

0:31:20.160 --> 0:31:25.160
<v Speaker 1>crime and we see it and you need to pay

0:31:25.240 --> 0:31:27.360
<v Speaker 1>us and then get out the game. So, in addition

0:31:27.400 --> 0:31:30.240
<v Speaker 1>to violating the Georgia Fair Business Practices Acts, the set,

0:31:30.400 --> 0:31:34.480
<v Speaker 1>the state states that the company accepted payment before services

0:31:34.480 --> 0:31:37.360
<v Speaker 1>were provided and were misleading about the services that it

0:31:37.440 --> 0:31:41.840
<v Speaker 1>could provide. There's also numerous unaddressed complaints in the company's

0:31:41.840 --> 0:31:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Better Business Bureau page. Williams says that he refuses to

0:31:45.160 --> 0:31:48.520
<v Speaker 1>address these complaints. He also refuses to provide Better Business

0:31:48.560 --> 0:31:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Bureau with physical addresses for his businesses and set up

0:31:52.360 --> 0:31:54.720
<v Speaker 1>accounts so that the Better Business Bureau is unable to

0:31:54.800 --> 0:31:59.280
<v Speaker 1>address concerns. So not only he say like I'm not

0:31:59.320 --> 0:32:01.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna respond to nothing on the Better Business Bureau, also

0:32:02.080 --> 0:32:05.600
<v Speaker 1>like they were like, Darius, where's your business address? And

0:32:05.640 --> 0:32:07.560
<v Speaker 1>he was like, my address is a vibe, you know,

0:32:07.600 --> 0:32:08.200
<v Speaker 1>it's a feeling.

0:32:10.240 --> 0:32:14.520
<v Speaker 2>So and so are his business licenses. It's just it's

0:32:14.560 --> 0:32:16.240
<v Speaker 2>just vibes and credit card charges.

0:32:16.960 --> 0:32:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Right, Like, we're looking at the Better Business Bureau right now,

0:32:20.040 --> 0:32:23.120
<v Speaker 1>and they've got some complaints up here. So we're gonna

0:32:23.200 --> 0:32:26.000
<v Speaker 1>read one of these complaints here from the Better Business

0:32:26.000 --> 0:32:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Bureau that are on this page currently.

0:32:28.800 --> 0:32:31.200
<v Speaker 2>He also deflects by kind of focusing on Georgia.

0:32:31.320 --> 0:32:35.520
<v Speaker 4>But that law about not accepting payment upfront for credit repair,

0:32:35.640 --> 0:32:36.600
<v Speaker 4>that's a federal law.

0:32:36.680 --> 0:32:38.040
<v Speaker 2>It's actually illegal everywhere.

0:32:39.920 --> 0:32:42.120
<v Speaker 1>He was just trying to act like Georgia was doing

0:32:42.200 --> 0:32:46.120
<v Speaker 1>too much, but it's like this on him too. And

0:32:46.200 --> 0:32:48.760
<v Speaker 1>also that kind of feeds into the sympathy and the

0:32:48.760 --> 0:32:51.080
<v Speaker 1>manipulation too, because there are some laws in Georgia that

0:32:51.120 --> 0:32:53.600
<v Speaker 1>are deeply unfair, especially when it comes to marijuana and

0:32:53.680 --> 0:32:56.080
<v Speaker 1>black folks. So there are some laws in Georgia that

0:32:56.120 --> 0:32:57.000
<v Speaker 1>actually are bad.

0:32:57.320 --> 0:33:01.760
<v Speaker 4>So he's like, by the way, right now, we start

0:33:01.840 --> 0:33:05.840
<v Speaker 4>selling like infused products or something like he doesn't even

0:33:05.880 --> 0:33:07.160
<v Speaker 4>understand what a strain is.

0:33:07.080 --> 0:33:09.720
<v Speaker 1>So, oh, Lord Jesus, this is not what we need.

0:33:10.600 --> 0:33:10.800
<v Speaker 4>This.

0:33:11.080 --> 0:33:12.840
<v Speaker 1>No one needs this, nobody.

0:33:12.480 --> 0:33:14.640
<v Speaker 2>Needs nobody needs those kind of edibles.

0:33:15.440 --> 0:33:19.080
<v Speaker 1>So one of his complaints on the Better Business bureau

0:33:19.160 --> 0:33:21.920
<v Speaker 1>website is I ordered a pound cake in early April

0:33:22.200 --> 0:33:24.680
<v Speaker 1>and I have not received it yet. This complaint comes

0:33:24.720 --> 0:33:28.800
<v Speaker 1>from May twentieth, twenty twenty one. They said they ordered

0:33:28.800 --> 0:33:33.800
<v Speaker 1>the pound cake in early April, weeks they're taking weeks

0:33:33.800 --> 0:33:37.640
<v Speaker 1>in the mail. I've tried contacting Carolina pound Cake twice

0:33:38.000 --> 0:33:40.640
<v Speaker 1>May ninth and May sixteenth by email and they have

0:33:40.720 --> 0:33:43.360
<v Speaker 1>not responded. I would like a full refund of fifty

0:33:43.400 --> 0:33:47.040
<v Speaker 1>dollars the price of the cake, like the next one.

0:33:47.120 --> 0:33:50.320
<v Speaker 1>I placed an ordered to pound Cake Carolina websites April

0:33:50.400 --> 0:33:53.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty fifth, twenty twenty one. The website says that it

0:33:53.200 --> 0:33:55.440
<v Speaker 1>should take five day business days and the cake will

0:33:55.480 --> 0:33:57.520
<v Speaker 1>be baked and shipped, and I haven't gotten it. Like

0:33:57.600 --> 0:33:59.960
<v Speaker 1>the same thing, There's a lot of the same complain

0:34:00.400 --> 0:34:06.120
<v Speaker 1>on there which brings us to Carolina pound Cakes. In

0:34:06.160 --> 0:34:10.880
<v Speaker 1>the comments of a post from You're from You, Angela

0:34:10.960 --> 0:34:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Davis with Kiara's Statement, who was one of the alleged

0:34:13.760 --> 0:34:17.640
<v Speaker 1>former bakers with Carolina pound Cakes, details her experience working

0:34:17.640 --> 0:34:19.640
<v Speaker 1>in poor conditions and being paid pities to bake for

0:34:19.680 --> 0:34:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Carolina pound Cakes. There are also numerous complaints on the

0:34:23.120 --> 0:34:25.640
<v Speaker 1>websites Better Business Places that we just read about not

0:34:25.680 --> 0:34:29.000
<v Speaker 1>getting cakes or refunds. Customers were told they were backed up,

0:34:29.200 --> 0:34:32.680
<v Speaker 1>hence the website being taken down. However, on July nineteenth,

0:34:32.680 --> 0:34:36.640
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty one, the company was dissolved and.

0:34:36.920 --> 0:34:37.919
<v Speaker 2>No business life sense.

0:34:38.480 --> 0:34:41.600
<v Speaker 4>Here's the thing, though, even before it was dissolved, that

0:34:41.840 --> 0:34:44.600
<v Speaker 4>address that was on the website was just a PO box,

0:34:44.680 --> 0:34:47.239
<v Speaker 4>so nobody knew where the actual bakery was, and there

0:34:47.239 --> 0:34:50.440
<v Speaker 4>were no health inspections for wherever this place was that

0:34:50.480 --> 0:34:54.799
<v Speaker 4>he was baking, and so the state caught up with him,

0:34:55.120 --> 0:34:58.399
<v Speaker 4>so they definitely know, you know, they shut it down,

0:34:59.520 --> 0:35:01.919
<v Speaker 4>but he's so claiming to be catching up on orders,

0:35:02.000 --> 0:35:04.359
<v Speaker 4>so who knows where these cakes are actually being made

0:35:04.440 --> 0:35:07.279
<v Speaker 4>and why they're taking two weeks to you know.

0:35:07.560 --> 0:35:11.680
<v Speaker 1>Right, that's an excellent scam tactic. Though I can't lie

0:35:11.840 --> 0:35:16.319
<v Speaker 1>to never have a real physical address. I kind of

0:35:16.400 --> 0:35:18.960
<v Speaker 1>want to do that. It's actually genius.

0:35:19.320 --> 0:35:21.120
<v Speaker 2>It seems to be working for him. It's not the

0:35:21.160 --> 0:35:21.680
<v Speaker 2>first time.

0:35:22.120 --> 0:35:26.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, which because he had no physical address and they

0:35:26.440 --> 0:35:29.880
<v Speaker 1>couldn't do health inspections. Like you said, Angela, it was

0:35:29.920 --> 0:35:32.880
<v Speaker 1>against the law because that's a requirement for shipping food

0:35:32.920 --> 0:35:34.880
<v Speaker 1>across state lines, is that you have to have a

0:35:34.920 --> 0:35:35.919
<v Speaker 1>health inspection.

0:35:36.800 --> 0:35:38.400
<v Speaker 2>Because it's a food safety issue.

0:35:38.400 --> 0:35:41.760
<v Speaker 4>Like, I think that's serious that he's just he's sending

0:35:41.800 --> 0:35:44.959
<v Speaker 4>out cakes that are not being wrapped properly. They're taking

0:35:44.960 --> 0:35:46.960
<v Speaker 4>a couple of weeks in the mail, and apparently his

0:35:47.080 --> 0:35:50.680
<v Speaker 4>followers are still eating them when they get them.

0:35:51.200 --> 0:35:53.719
<v Speaker 1>Yikes. And I saw pictures on Twitter of someone who

0:35:53.800 --> 0:35:56.520
<v Speaker 1>had cakes allegedly that were from his company and they

0:35:56.560 --> 0:35:57.920
<v Speaker 1>were moldy when they got this.

0:36:00.520 --> 0:36:00.799
<v Speaker 2>One off.

0:36:00.840 --> 0:36:04.319
<v Speaker 4>I saw one that had bugs and all because yeah,

0:36:04.480 --> 0:36:06.800
<v Speaker 4>like they look like little black ants or something.

0:36:06.840 --> 0:36:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh and food, you know, I think sometimes we don't

0:36:11.239 --> 0:36:14.120
<v Speaker 1>put enough respect on food and people who make food

0:36:14.239 --> 0:36:16.959
<v Speaker 1>and people who are chefs, because food is one something

0:36:17.040 --> 0:36:18.879
<v Speaker 1>essential that we all need in our lives. But food

0:36:18.920 --> 0:36:22.880
<v Speaker 1>brings people together, It reminds people of things. It nourishes

0:36:22.920 --> 0:36:26.960
<v Speaker 1>their souls, their minds, their bodies. You should be respectful.

0:36:27.000 --> 0:36:29.239
<v Speaker 1>There should be the amount of grace and respect that you

0:36:29.280 --> 0:36:32.279
<v Speaker 1>have when you're making food for people. And absolutely, and

0:36:32.360 --> 0:36:35.279
<v Speaker 1>you should care. You should care if it's safe for

0:36:35.360 --> 0:36:37.400
<v Speaker 1>them to eat, Like that's just fair. Minimum is that

0:36:37.480 --> 0:36:39.640
<v Speaker 1>you know that it's safe. You know that you're not

0:36:39.680 --> 0:36:43.080
<v Speaker 1>going to kill somebody by sending them a cake. The

0:36:43.120 --> 0:36:47.560
<v Speaker 1>bar is on the floor, especially because our food half

0:36:47.640 --> 0:36:49.040
<v Speaker 1>of it ain't food.

0:36:49.280 --> 0:36:51.319
<v Speaker 4>We can we talk about like the fact that it's

0:36:51.320 --> 0:36:52.520
<v Speaker 4>a fifty dollars pound cake.

0:36:52.560 --> 0:36:54.879
<v Speaker 1>First of all, I mean fifty dollars.

0:36:55.840 --> 0:37:00.439
<v Speaker 4>Fifty dollars, Like what kind of poundcake is this?

0:37:00.880 --> 0:37:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Also, when should you take the utmost care shipping a

0:37:03.480 --> 0:37:04.200
<v Speaker 2>fifty dollars time?

0:37:04.400 --> 0:37:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Right? I was about to say, if it's fifty dollars,

0:37:06.280 --> 0:37:09.920
<v Speaker 1>it should be FedEx next day, beautifully decorated, plated, like

0:37:10.080 --> 0:37:12.520
<v Speaker 1>you should have to sign for it, like fifty dollars

0:37:12.520 --> 0:37:15.120
<v Speaker 1>and you're just throwing the shit in a fucking next

0:37:15.200 --> 0:37:16.799
<v Speaker 1>day airbox and.

0:37:17.840 --> 0:37:20.200
<v Speaker 4>Not like he's still like a flat rate shipping box

0:37:20.200 --> 0:37:23.040
<v Speaker 4>and like just like a prayer, and like it'll get.

0:37:22.880 --> 0:37:25.800
<v Speaker 2>There when it gets there five to eight days.

0:37:26.080 --> 0:37:28.759
<v Speaker 1>What did it mean? How long is it traveling during

0:37:28.760 --> 0:37:30.640
<v Speaker 1>the five to eight because I really needed to just

0:37:30.680 --> 0:37:32.879
<v Speaker 1>travel one day.

0:37:33.320 --> 0:37:35.640
<v Speaker 4>That's He's just I don't know, I just I don't

0:37:35.680 --> 0:37:38.560
<v Speaker 4>understand it. I don't understand how this has been going

0:37:38.560 --> 0:37:40.279
<v Speaker 4>on for a year and a half and people are

0:37:40.360 --> 0:37:43.080
<v Speaker 4>just not asking, like that's going over the cakes.

0:37:43.160 --> 0:37:45.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't want o caake that's been percolating for five

0:37:45.120 --> 0:37:48.040
<v Speaker 1>day days. I don't want it marinated. I don't want

0:37:48.040 --> 0:37:51.040
<v Speaker 1>a fermented cake like and that man loves to put

0:37:51.040 --> 0:37:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Hannessy in things, so oh right right.

0:37:54.160 --> 0:37:56.759
<v Speaker 4>Maybe maybe that's the disinffect. Maybe that's what stops the

0:37:56.960 --> 0:38:02.200
<v Speaker 4>h Maybe he soaks him at Hennessy's. They don't grow now.

0:38:02.280 --> 0:38:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Listen, Hennessy is very strong. I've drink during COVID. There

0:38:07.800 --> 0:38:10.880
<v Speaker 1>was some place in some country that was given Hennessy

0:38:10.960 --> 0:38:13.520
<v Speaker 1>and masks to people, and I said, that might be

0:38:13.680 --> 0:38:16.120
<v Speaker 1>the cure, because I ain't never if you want a

0:38:16.160 --> 0:38:18.319
<v Speaker 1>new throat, if you want to just refresh the.

0:38:19.600 --> 0:38:24.359
<v Speaker 4>Drinks in his restaurants. He had issues with food safety too,

0:38:24.560 --> 0:38:26.640
<v Speaker 4>like those health inspections were terrible.

0:38:27.080 --> 0:38:28.000
<v Speaker 2>The one in Chicago.

0:38:28.239 --> 0:38:30.200
<v Speaker 4>It was like the food wasn't even being stored at

0:38:30.200 --> 0:38:32.520
<v Speaker 4>the right temperature. So maybe that's the Maybe that's the plan,

0:38:32.680 --> 0:38:34.680
<v Speaker 4>is like you just have enough alcohol and nobody gets sick.

0:38:35.080 --> 0:38:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Right, He said, Look, we ain't got no lights, we

0:38:38.080 --> 0:38:40.600
<v Speaker 1>ain't got no health inspections, but we do have as

0:38:40.600 --> 0:38:45.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of Hennessy. Y'all gonna be good. Y'alln't need

0:38:45.640 --> 0:38:48.320
<v Speaker 1>to see shit. It's fine if you have to eat bugs.

0:38:48.520 --> 0:38:53.200
<v Speaker 1>We have Hannessy. So Sonny Anderson and Fresh Go, like, guys,

0:38:53.239 --> 0:38:55.680
<v Speaker 1>do you see what's happening? Like are you listening to

0:38:55.800 --> 0:38:59.520
<v Speaker 1>how we are just moving from It's a lot. It's

0:38:59.520 --> 0:39:03.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot, like, so come going back to Chicago. Chicago's

0:39:03.560 --> 0:39:06.320
<v Speaker 1>one of the baby scammer was in Chicago. This is

0:39:06.400 --> 0:39:08.560
<v Speaker 1>these are the baby scams. He had a whole bunch

0:39:08.560 --> 0:39:11.560
<v Speaker 1>of scams in Chicago. That's cute. I literally just flew

0:39:11.600 --> 0:39:13.600
<v Speaker 1>back from Chicago. I think it's a very cute. Skinddy,

0:39:13.680 --> 0:39:15.880
<v Speaker 1>very right, very right for scams. I would love to

0:39:15.960 --> 0:39:17.320
<v Speaker 1>go back and rob people.

0:39:17.360 --> 0:39:18.520
<v Speaker 3>Bob bab.

0:39:20.960 --> 0:39:26.720
<v Speaker 1>And right. So, celebrity chef and Food Network stars Sonny

0:39:26.760 --> 0:39:30.239
<v Speaker 1>Anderson invited Darius onto her show Cooking for Real for

0:39:30.360 --> 0:39:33.759
<v Speaker 1>two episodes. According to Anderson, while working together, Darius asked

0:39:33.800 --> 0:39:36.320
<v Speaker 1>her to invest in his grocery delivery business in Chicago,

0:39:36.719 --> 0:39:40.759
<v Speaker 1>Fresh to Go or Fresh Go. She declined, but after

0:39:40.800 --> 0:39:43.520
<v Speaker 1>the show aired, she started receiving complaints about the business.

0:39:43.640 --> 0:39:45.759
<v Speaker 1>Because of his appearance on the show, people assume they

0:39:45.800 --> 0:39:48.200
<v Speaker 1>work together and that she'd be able to contact Williams.

0:39:48.640 --> 0:39:51.960
<v Speaker 1>That's how you know that she really is some crime.

0:39:52.200 --> 0:39:54.759
<v Speaker 1>When people see you with somebody else and they're like, well,

0:39:54.840 --> 0:39:56.960
<v Speaker 1>maybe this is how I can get my money back.

0:39:57.160 --> 0:40:02.960
<v Speaker 1>I'll never forget rush cards. So Russell Simmons had this

0:40:03.760 --> 0:40:06.520
<v Speaker 1>card number played debit card that you can have your

0:40:06.600 --> 0:40:09.200
<v Speaker 1>checks put on from work called rush cards, and then

0:40:09.719 --> 0:40:12.239
<v Speaker 1>his ex wife also had like the baby fat Rush

0:40:12.320 --> 0:40:14.560
<v Speaker 1>car Like they had these little you know cards for

0:40:14.600 --> 0:40:18.560
<v Speaker 1>people who don't have bank accounts, and one day, I guess,

0:40:18.719 --> 0:40:21.319
<v Speaker 1>all the money got froze and nobody could get their

0:40:21.560 --> 0:40:23.640
<v Speaker 1>checks from work. No one could get their money off

0:40:23.680 --> 0:40:27.840
<v Speaker 1>of the card. And it got so bad that Angela

0:40:27.960 --> 0:40:30.879
<v Speaker 1>Simmons had like angel would post a photo like out

0:40:30.920 --> 0:40:34.239
<v Speaker 1>at the beach, cheeks out, sons out, buns out, and

0:40:34.320 --> 0:40:36.520
<v Speaker 1>people were in the comments like, cis, can you tell

0:40:36.560 --> 0:40:37.959
<v Speaker 1>your dad to run us our money?

0:40:38.320 --> 0:40:41.600
<v Speaker 4>Where is our fucking money? Blame them though, that's crazy.

0:40:41.760 --> 0:40:43.279
<v Speaker 4>My last really bad date.

0:40:44.000 --> 0:40:45.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it tells you how long I know this was.

0:40:45.719 --> 0:40:49.440
<v Speaker 2>It's the guy pulled out a Rush card. He couldn't

0:40:51.080 --> 0:40:52.239
<v Speaker 2>he couldn't pay for the whole.

0:40:53.480 --> 0:40:56.720
<v Speaker 1>My god, now not the rush card on the dead.

0:40:56.719 --> 0:41:00.320
<v Speaker 2>Pay for the whole. Like we sit down and he's starts.

0:41:00.880 --> 0:41:03.279
<v Speaker 4>I could tell from the beginning because he's just ordering water,

0:41:03.640 --> 0:41:05.800
<v Speaker 4>and he's like, I'm not that hungry, He's just picking

0:41:05.840 --> 0:41:08.359
<v Speaker 4>something off an appetizer. And I already keep gaming from

0:41:08.360 --> 0:41:10.320
<v Speaker 4>the beginning, so I'm ordering everything because I knew I

0:41:10.400 --> 0:41:13.200
<v Speaker 4>was gonna end upaying for my shit anyways, so I,

0:41:13.400 --> 0:41:14.680
<v Speaker 4>you know, I ate everything I wanted to.

0:41:15.000 --> 0:41:17.000
<v Speaker 2>This was like it was like a Mediterranean restaurant.

0:41:17.160 --> 0:41:19.160
<v Speaker 1>He was like, they got free bread here, they got

0:41:19.239 --> 0:41:20.359
<v Speaker 1>free bread. That's all we need.

0:41:20.760 --> 0:41:23.120
<v Speaker 4>I think he has some hummus and some water, and

0:41:23.880 --> 0:41:26.080
<v Speaker 4>the check comes and he goes, well, I only got

0:41:26.160 --> 0:41:28.200
<v Speaker 4>thirty dollars left on my card and he puts the

0:41:28.239 --> 0:41:28.560
<v Speaker 4>card down.

0:41:28.560 --> 0:41:30.960
<v Speaker 2>It was a rush card. So that's when I just

0:41:31.080 --> 0:41:33.080
<v Speaker 2>decided that dating might not be for me anywhore.

0:41:33.480 --> 0:41:36.960
<v Speaker 1>No, no, not the fresh card, the rush card.

0:41:37.480 --> 0:41:39.800
<v Speaker 4>So I told the server, I said, put thirty on it,

0:41:39.840 --> 0:41:41.120
<v Speaker 4>and then I paid for the rest of my mony off.

0:41:41.160 --> 0:41:42.399
<v Speaker 4>But I took everything off of that card.

0:41:42.680 --> 0:41:45.160
<v Speaker 1>Angela, you Patty, not put thirty on it. He was like, no,

0:41:45.239 --> 0:41:48.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm taking dolls. Like, I'm gonna take it and then

0:41:48.920 --> 0:41:50.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna pay for the rest and I'm never gonna

0:41:50.520 --> 0:41:53.680
<v Speaker 1>see you again. I love to ask for you Edbar's,

0:41:53.840 --> 0:41:56.480
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, so rush Card wasn't rushing nobody day coins.

0:41:56.560 --> 0:41:59.000
<v Speaker 1>They were very actually slow and not fast and did

0:41:59.080 --> 0:42:01.240
<v Speaker 1>not rush to pay people money. So it's just funny

0:42:01.280 --> 0:42:04.880
<v Speaker 1>to me because like the fact that Angela or Sunny

0:42:04.920 --> 0:42:08.399
<v Speaker 1>Anderson rather, you know, had a mild association with this man,

0:42:08.520 --> 0:42:09.920
<v Speaker 1>and then people were like, this is how we get

0:42:09.960 --> 0:42:11.800
<v Speaker 1>our money back? They were desperate.

0:42:11.880 --> 0:42:13.520
<v Speaker 4>If you go back and look like you can still

0:42:13.560 --> 0:42:17.040
<v Speaker 4>if you search for freshco on Twitter under the old handle,

0:42:17.120 --> 0:42:19.279
<v Speaker 4>you could see some of the people are still like

0:42:19.520 --> 0:42:22.120
<v Speaker 4>back then, this was like twenty twelve. They're just tweeting

0:42:22.200 --> 0:42:25.439
<v Speaker 4>into the void like Farius ran after, you know, left

0:42:25.440 --> 0:42:27.440
<v Speaker 4>with their money and they were trying to figure out

0:42:27.480 --> 0:42:30.279
<v Speaker 4>how to find him, and they were just asking like

0:42:30.360 --> 0:42:32.160
<v Speaker 4>it was the beginnings of so is this guy a

0:42:32.280 --> 0:42:34.719
<v Speaker 4>scammer because he appears to have run off with their money?

0:42:35.320 --> 0:42:38.280
<v Speaker 1>Right and Anderson. Anderson said, I got messages on Twitter

0:42:38.320 --> 0:42:40.839
<v Speaker 1>about fresh Goo or fresh to Go, and there were

0:42:40.880 --> 0:42:43.239
<v Speaker 1>complaints that people had given their credit card information but

0:42:43.360 --> 0:42:45.680
<v Speaker 1>no delivery. They reached out to me because he was

0:42:45.760 --> 0:42:47.520
<v Speaker 1>on my show. I called him to ask what was

0:42:47.560 --> 0:42:50.360
<v Speaker 1>going on and he hung up. I called back and

0:42:50.480 --> 0:42:51.840
<v Speaker 1>he never picked up again.

0:42:53.680 --> 0:42:57.040
<v Speaker 2>That's his ms. That's when everything was in Chicago.

0:42:57.120 --> 0:42:59.840
<v Speaker 4>It was kind of coming ahead, so Freshco was was

0:43:00.800 --> 0:43:03.960
<v Speaker 4>people realized that there was no actual grocery delivery service.

0:43:04.000 --> 0:43:06.640
<v Speaker 4>They were just getting charged for nothing. And then he

0:43:06.800 --> 0:43:13.239
<v Speaker 4>had another scam going. He had started fake es like groceries.

0:43:13.360 --> 0:43:14.280
<v Speaker 2>Right, just vibes.

0:43:15.680 --> 0:43:17.719
<v Speaker 4>He started a cup he was going to make a

0:43:17.760 --> 0:43:20.480
<v Speaker 4>cupcake mix, like he had a bakery, so he had

0:43:20.480 --> 0:43:21.400
<v Speaker 4>a cupcake gallery.

0:43:21.480 --> 0:43:24.480
<v Speaker 2>That was his business, and then he started this company.

0:43:24.560 --> 0:43:27.000
<v Speaker 4>He was going to sell dry cupcake mix, like a

0:43:27.080 --> 0:43:29.040
<v Speaker 4>box mix where you could call this is this is

0:43:29.120 --> 0:43:31.360
<v Speaker 4>his plan, A one eight hundred number to order this

0:43:31.480 --> 0:43:36.040
<v Speaker 4>cupcake mix because that's how we order cupcake mixer. Sure, well,

0:43:36.080 --> 0:43:39.080
<v Speaker 4>it never actually existed, but he had people invest in it.

0:43:39.160 --> 0:43:43.240
<v Speaker 4>He sent out like this whole investment proposal and people invested,

0:43:43.280 --> 0:43:46.760
<v Speaker 4>and then he just left town and like the company

0:43:46.840 --> 0:43:49.719
<v Speaker 4>never actually existed, like they bought shares, like he sold

0:43:49.800 --> 0:43:53.840
<v Speaker 4>one percent shares for two thousand dollars for shares like

0:43:55.120 --> 0:43:58.000
<v Speaker 4>this is like an actual investment, like like he has

0:43:58.080 --> 0:43:59.600
<v Speaker 4>like the numbers laid out, like I'm going to have

0:43:59.640 --> 0:44:01.880
<v Speaker 4>one point two million in revenue, and you're if you

0:44:01.960 --> 0:44:03.880
<v Speaker 4>buy a one percent share for two thousand dollars.

0:44:03.960 --> 0:44:05.640
<v Speaker 2>You'll be set for life. He's telling people they can

0:44:05.719 --> 0:44:06.560
<v Speaker 2>retire off of this.

0:44:08.000 --> 0:44:11.439
<v Speaker 1>It's not it's changed New York and it's Darius ringing

0:44:11.520 --> 0:44:20.279
<v Speaker 1>the bell. Come event. Yeah, And this is like a

0:44:20.480 --> 0:44:25.040
<v Speaker 1>high level scammer. You do something and then you act like, oh,

0:44:25.160 --> 0:44:27.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what went wrong or I'm not really

0:44:27.080 --> 0:44:29.200
<v Speaker 1>like good at that oops, and then you leave town

0:44:29.320 --> 0:44:31.279
<v Speaker 1>or you leave whatever that venture is, and you just

0:44:31.520 --> 0:44:33.000
<v Speaker 1>never That's how you pivot.

0:44:33.320 --> 0:44:36.360
<v Speaker 4>It's just change your number, change your Twitter handle, delete

0:44:36.400 --> 0:44:37.759
<v Speaker 4>your blog, and move on.

0:44:37.840 --> 0:44:39.239
<v Speaker 2>That's what he used to do. But I guess he

0:44:39.400 --> 0:44:41.799
<v Speaker 2>just forgot that people could still pull up the archives. Right.

0:44:41.960 --> 0:44:45.479
<v Speaker 1>The internet is forever. So Darius denies he not only

0:44:45.560 --> 0:44:49.000
<v Speaker 1>ever like so, he denies that he ever owned Fresh

0:44:49.080 --> 0:44:51.640
<v Speaker 1>to Go or fresh Go, and he says he knows

0:44:51.760 --> 0:44:54.960
<v Speaker 1>nothing about it. When Black Enterprise asked directly, do you

0:44:55.160 --> 0:44:59.000
<v Speaker 1>know anything about this fresh Go being associated with you?

0:44:59.280 --> 0:45:03.400
<v Speaker 1>He says nothing, Really, That's what I'm saying. That's why

0:45:03.440 --> 0:45:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I would love to know from Sonny what I ever

0:45:05.800 --> 0:45:08.040
<v Speaker 1>did to her? He said, I ain't never even had

0:45:08.160 --> 0:45:11.160
<v Speaker 1>knew nothing about no fresh Go. I ain't never even

0:45:11.360 --> 0:45:15.759
<v Speaker 1>fresh whatd and look very He don't cook with fresh vegetables,

0:45:15.880 --> 0:45:20.000
<v Speaker 1>so he you know, you know, he loves a powdered.

0:45:19.760 --> 0:45:22.640
<v Speaker 4>Veget lane from the beginning, like he kicked the wrong lane.

0:45:23.000 --> 0:45:26.919
<v Speaker 4>So he tweet had a tweeter a whole mother fate

0:45:27.000 --> 0:45:31.000
<v Speaker 4>company called local Hala. So he has a website, not

0:45:31.120 --> 0:45:33.640
<v Speaker 4>a website, a Twitter page for that. And the only

0:45:33.719 --> 0:45:36.680
<v Speaker 4>company that that page advertised was fresh Go.

0:45:37.440 --> 0:45:40.440
<v Speaker 1>And we have a tweet from January twenty twelve of

0:45:40.600 --> 0:45:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Darius Williams saying it's a in all caps, great day

0:45:45.320 --> 0:45:50.719
<v Speaker 1>to shop fresh Go click today, grocery delivery tomorrow. Then

0:45:50.760 --> 0:45:54.640
<v Speaker 1>he puts the website fresh Go now dot com. Now, look,

0:45:55.520 --> 0:45:58.880
<v Speaker 1>if he had just denied owning fresh Go, maybe this

0:45:59.040 --> 0:46:01.520
<v Speaker 1>tweet is fine and he's just advertising for something. But

0:46:01.640 --> 0:46:07.480
<v Speaker 1>he said fresh Go. Who is that? I don't know her.

0:46:08.320 --> 0:46:11.520
<v Speaker 1>He never heard of a girl. He's he never met her.

0:46:12.280 --> 0:46:15.720
<v Speaker 4>West your tweets like, by now, wouldn't you have deleted

0:46:15.760 --> 0:46:17.360
<v Speaker 4>your tweets because he brown like.

0:46:17.400 --> 0:46:22.160
<v Speaker 1>His tweets are still there. He's trolling us. He's trolling us.

0:46:22.600 --> 0:46:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Gotta be this is so slappy. So you know Darius

0:46:27.840 --> 0:46:30.879
<v Speaker 1>his Twitter, he's promoting fresh Go. There's a one star

0:46:31.040 --> 0:46:34.120
<v Speaker 1>review from Yelp that says do not support This guy

0:46:34.239 --> 0:46:37.000
<v Speaker 1>owns fresh Go and he initiated hundreds of fraudulent charges

0:46:37.040 --> 0:46:39.800
<v Speaker 1>on people's credit cards. He is a thief. He charged

0:46:39.880 --> 0:46:43.080
<v Speaker 1>mine ninety eight dollars and thirty four cents twice. Damn

0:46:43.120 --> 0:46:45.920
<v Speaker 1>they got the real like, not the thirty four cents, Okay,

0:46:47.600 --> 0:46:49.600
<v Speaker 1>I had to get the bank to reverse it twice.

0:46:49.880 --> 0:46:52.280
<v Speaker 1>No one can find him. He doesn't answer his phone

0:46:52.640 --> 0:46:53.560
<v Speaker 1>or emails.

0:46:54.440 --> 0:46:56.399
<v Speaker 4>He even set up a fake group on a deal

0:46:56.520 --> 0:46:59.279
<v Speaker 4>for a fake company. Like that's how far the scan went.

0:47:00.600 --> 0:47:02.600
<v Speaker 4>The whole the website is what kills me though.

0:47:03.400 --> 0:47:05.360
<v Speaker 1>And so we have a screenshot of the Fresh to

0:47:05.400 --> 0:47:08.200
<v Speaker 1>Go website right here, and we'll post all of this Dan.

0:47:08.320 --> 0:47:10.719
<v Speaker 1>This is gonna be a long, swipey post for you

0:47:10.840 --> 0:47:15.640
<v Speaker 1>guys on Instagram. But so the now deleted fresh Go website,

0:47:15.680 --> 0:47:17.319
<v Speaker 1>we're looking at it right now with a single blog

0:47:17.360 --> 0:47:20.320
<v Speaker 1>post a recipe, just one blog post for green beans

0:47:20.400 --> 0:47:23.560
<v Speaker 1>with tomato walnut jam. The image is gone, but a

0:47:23.640 --> 0:47:26.359
<v Speaker 1>link to now deleted posts on Darry's site Everyday Cooking

0:47:26.440 --> 0:47:29.120
<v Speaker 1>dot Com. Around the same time, there's an image of

0:47:29.200 --> 0:47:31.920
<v Speaker 1>green beans with tomato walnut jam that was posted to

0:47:32.040 --> 0:47:34.319
<v Speaker 1>Darius's Facebook, and now we're looking at the green beans

0:47:34.360 --> 0:47:36.960
<v Speaker 1>and the tomato walnut jam. He also knows how to

0:47:37.120 --> 0:47:41.560
<v Speaker 1>like say words that are very titillating for people who

0:47:41.719 --> 0:47:44.200
<v Speaker 1>like to cook or want to cook well, or want

0:47:44.239 --> 0:47:46.640
<v Speaker 1>to learn, like jam, walnut jam.

0:47:47.560 --> 0:47:48.560
<v Speaker 2>Aren't those becaus?

0:47:49.360 --> 0:47:55.839
<v Speaker 1>Yes, they are pecaans, they're not walnuts. Since we'd walnuts,

0:48:00.040 --> 0:48:02.120
<v Speaker 1>don't even lie? Right, how do you go a lot

0:48:02.160 --> 0:48:05.640
<v Speaker 1>of my face like this? I have a Darius, No,

0:48:06.239 --> 0:48:07.560
<v Speaker 1>not a nary a walnut.

0:48:08.360 --> 0:48:09.719
<v Speaker 2>He definitely called the walnuts.

0:48:10.280 --> 0:48:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Wow. Wow, this is and I don't even he never

0:48:14.080 --> 0:48:16.239
<v Speaker 1>even know if it's his photo. This feels like something

0:48:16.320 --> 0:48:18.640
<v Speaker 1>he actually made. I mean, this looks pretty bad. It's

0:48:18.640 --> 0:48:21.040
<v Speaker 1>probably Yeah, there's levels to this though, It's like you

0:48:21.120 --> 0:48:23.520
<v Speaker 1>lie about the food, and the food is also a

0:48:23.640 --> 0:48:27.480
<v Speaker 1>cover for the scam, right. The scam is that he's

0:48:27.520 --> 0:48:29.840
<v Speaker 1>not a chef and never probably wanted to be.

0:48:30.480 --> 0:48:32.279
<v Speaker 4>This is just a scam so you can get scam

0:48:33.000 --> 0:48:35.840
<v Speaker 4>so he can still be running people's credit cards.

0:48:36.440 --> 0:48:38.040
<v Speaker 2>So he was also like he even created like a

0:48:38.080 --> 0:48:39.200
<v Speaker 2>fake payroll company.

0:48:38.920 --> 0:48:42.759
<v Speaker 4>Around this time, child, and then when you open it up,

0:48:42.800 --> 0:48:44.600
<v Speaker 4>it goes to his address, like he like there's a

0:48:44.960 --> 0:48:47.239
<v Speaker 4>YELP page for this fake payroll company that is on

0:48:47.320 --> 0:48:49.520
<v Speaker 4>his resume, and then you go look it up it

0:48:49.880 --> 0:48:52.880
<v Speaker 4>was his apartment brou Darius is the hardest working man

0:48:52.960 --> 0:49:00.680
<v Speaker 4>in crime. Okay, he's doing his two thousand times so

0:49:00.840 --> 0:49:01.840
<v Speaker 4>stolen recipes.

0:49:02.120 --> 0:49:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Because Darius cooks can't actually cook cook. Many of Darius's

0:49:08.080 --> 0:49:10.160
<v Speaker 1>recipes are more of an assembly of pre made, store

0:49:10.200 --> 0:49:13.200
<v Speaker 1>bought ingredients rather than recipes for ingredients from scratch. This

0:49:13.320 --> 0:49:15.839
<v Speaker 1>includes sauces for his jerk chicken and barbecue wings, as

0:49:15.840 --> 0:49:18.680
<v Speaker 1>well as pizza do Most of his recipes just also

0:49:18.800 --> 0:49:23.600
<v Speaker 1>don't work. We linked to one of your threads about

0:49:23.960 --> 0:49:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Darius's keto book, and then there's an Instagram reel of

0:49:30.239 --> 0:49:35.920
<v Speaker 1>endless sodium laden seasonings. Oh yeah, his his catfish seasoning.

0:49:36.200 --> 0:49:40.320
<v Speaker 1>When I saw that, I wanted to pass out. He

0:49:40.719 --> 0:49:44.960
<v Speaker 1>put so much salt. Well, somebody would actually pass out

0:49:45.000 --> 0:49:45.640
<v Speaker 1>if they ate that.

0:49:45.800 --> 0:49:47.320
<v Speaker 4>I said it to my dad. My dad had a

0:49:47.320 --> 0:49:50.600
<v Speaker 4>heart attack a few years ago, and I remember just

0:49:50.680 --> 0:49:52.279
<v Speaker 4>how hard it was the first couple of years to

0:49:52.360 --> 0:49:55.800
<v Speaker 4>get to understand like what he could tolerate with sodium,

0:49:55.960 --> 0:49:58.000
<v Speaker 4>and we had to be super careful about everything, and

0:49:58.800 --> 0:50:01.440
<v Speaker 4>it's it's serious, Like if he would have one day

0:50:01.520 --> 0:50:04.399
<v Speaker 4>where he ate out, you know, like you know, there's

0:50:04.400 --> 0:50:05.600
<v Speaker 4>so much sodium when you eat out.

0:50:05.680 --> 0:50:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Like so if we had a holiday or he was eating.

0:50:07.880 --> 0:50:10.719
<v Speaker 4>Outside of the home and he overdid it, he would

0:50:10.760 --> 0:50:12.480
<v Speaker 4>be in bed for a couple of days, Like it

0:50:12.520 --> 0:50:15.279
<v Speaker 4>would trigger like his he had congestive her failure, and

0:50:15.280 --> 0:50:18.800
<v Speaker 4>he would get fluid. He's dealt with gout, like and

0:50:19.680 --> 0:50:22.719
<v Speaker 4>this is not uncommon in our community, you know, like

0:50:22.800 --> 0:50:24.920
<v Speaker 4>there's so many of our of our families that are

0:50:25.040 --> 0:50:28.000
<v Speaker 4>like have heart issues or high blood pressure. So for

0:50:28.160 --> 0:50:30.560
<v Speaker 4>him to be using more than a week's worth of

0:50:30.680 --> 0:50:34.719
<v Speaker 4>sodium like just so casually and act like it's not

0:50:34.840 --> 0:50:36.080
<v Speaker 4>a big Like this was a big.

0:50:36.000 --> 0:50:39.520
<v Speaker 1>Deal to me, And it's so deeply dangerous. You hit

0:50:39.520 --> 0:50:41.719
<v Speaker 1>the nail on the head. Because his audience is us

0:50:41.960 --> 0:50:45.440
<v Speaker 1>is black folks, We're already predisposed to having high blood pressure,

0:50:45.840 --> 0:50:49.560
<v Speaker 1>most of us do, like you know, we already are

0:50:49.560 --> 0:50:53.279
<v Speaker 1>predisposed to having way more stress just for simply being alive. Like,

0:50:53.520 --> 0:50:56.799
<v Speaker 1>so it's a dangerous combination. And when I saw that video,

0:50:56.920 --> 0:50:58.920
<v Speaker 1>I was like, this made must be joking. There's no

0:50:58.960 --> 0:51:00.239
<v Speaker 1>way he's gonna eat This is.

0:51:02.520 --> 0:51:06.399
<v Speaker 4>What so I and I calculated it, like it had

0:51:06.480 --> 0:51:08.880
<v Speaker 4>to be an over a week's worth of sodium in

0:51:08.960 --> 0:51:12.240
<v Speaker 4>that one bowl, and it was three portions of cathas.

0:51:12.320 --> 0:51:14.840
<v Speaker 2>According to him, it was. It was just it's insane.

0:51:15.880 --> 0:51:19.160
<v Speaker 1>So of what's left, many of his recipes are stolen.

0:51:19.239 --> 0:51:22.160
<v Speaker 1>He copied and pasted Tasty French's omelet recipe. We have

0:51:22.239 --> 0:51:25.440
<v Speaker 1>a picture of that, Mandy Lee Charizo and shrimp burger.

0:51:25.640 --> 0:51:29.960
<v Speaker 1>This one you can google image the chariza and shrimp burger.

0:51:30.120 --> 0:51:32.640
<v Speaker 4>That what bothered me because I'm such I was such

0:51:32.680 --> 0:51:36.319
<v Speaker 4>a fan of that blogger back back in the day,

0:51:36.440 --> 0:51:39.960
<v Speaker 4>Like that was her first recipe that I remember circulating.

0:51:40.080 --> 0:51:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, like it was such a cool photo.

0:51:42.400 --> 0:51:44.759
<v Speaker 4>Like I just left the photo and it always caught

0:51:44.840 --> 0:51:47.000
<v Speaker 4>my eye and people started to copy it, and he

0:51:47.160 --> 0:51:47.640
<v Speaker 4>was one of them.

0:51:47.719 --> 0:51:49.000
<v Speaker 1>So it was one of the first things that stood

0:51:49.000 --> 0:51:50.160
<v Speaker 1>out to me, like you didn't come up with this.

0:51:50.680 --> 0:51:52.560
<v Speaker 4>But what he does is like he'll take something if

0:51:52.560 --> 0:51:55.279
<v Speaker 4>you go to her blog, she her whole process. I mean,

0:51:55.320 --> 0:51:59.600
<v Speaker 4>it's it's like homemade bun, homemade Cherisa Patti. And he

0:51:59.840 --> 0:52:02.239
<v Speaker 4>just does like the easiest thing that he could do

0:52:03.200 --> 0:52:05.040
<v Speaker 4>to put a recipe on the page It's like it's

0:52:05.160 --> 0:52:11.479
<v Speaker 4>like you're erasing and devaluing an actual recipe developers work,

0:52:12.440 --> 0:52:13.960
<v Speaker 4>which is so disrespectful.

0:52:14.400 --> 0:52:18.160
<v Speaker 1>And so we're gonna end Darius. The saga here with

0:52:18.360 --> 0:52:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Darius Williams. Harassment of black women, why we're here. When

0:52:23.480 --> 0:52:27.720
<v Speaker 1>conflict rose online again between Angela, Davis, You, and Williams,

0:52:27.760 --> 0:52:31.520
<v Speaker 1>Williams launched his own campaign of harassment against Angela. He

0:52:31.680 --> 0:52:35.880
<v Speaker 1>is Dave's trademark name Kitchenista as a promo code to

0:52:36.000 --> 0:52:38.440
<v Speaker 1>sell his books, and I saw that tweet use the

0:52:38.520 --> 0:52:41.919
<v Speaker 1>code Kitchenista. He also posted a ten minute long video

0:52:42.000 --> 0:52:45.000
<v Speaker 1>detailing how he was making money with the conflict, from

0:52:45.040 --> 0:52:47.680
<v Speaker 1>which he earned ad and sponsor revenue.

0:52:47.840 --> 0:52:51.680
<v Speaker 4>So he says, so, he says allegedly, which those numbers

0:52:51.680 --> 0:52:52.560
<v Speaker 4>don't line up either.

0:52:53.200 --> 0:52:56.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, has we that's the whole titled episode. Yeah,

0:52:56.239 --> 0:52:58.960
<v Speaker 1>he's never gonna math. He also so. He also on

0:52:59.080 --> 0:53:01.680
<v Speaker 1>his Twitter and Instagra and feeds are there's like aun

0:53:02.040 --> 0:53:04.160
<v Speaker 1>ending snide remarks directed against you.

0:53:04.360 --> 0:53:04.760
<v Speaker 2>Angela.

0:53:05.800 --> 0:53:10.040
<v Speaker 1>This is one quote from you. He went on live

0:53:10.120 --> 0:53:11.759
<v Speaker 1>and made fun of me, saying that I was broke.

0:53:11.840 --> 0:53:13.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a millionaire like him. He said that my

0:53:13.960 --> 0:53:18.320
<v Speaker 1>countertops are formica for Mica. Rather, they're not not that

0:53:18.440 --> 0:53:21.480
<v Speaker 1>it matters. He said something about how the only thing

0:53:21.560 --> 0:53:25.760
<v Speaker 1>I cook with is duck fat. It was just really petty, Darius,

0:53:25.960 --> 0:53:29.640
<v Speaker 1>You ain't ever cooked with a fresh vegetable? Can we

0:53:29.719 --> 0:53:31.239
<v Speaker 1>speak on that, right?

0:53:32.760 --> 0:53:38.120
<v Speaker 4>Like I've never seen actual garlic, only drowns his food

0:53:38.280 --> 0:53:44.040
<v Speaker 4>and like olive oil and soggy bacon, and has the

0:53:44.080 --> 0:53:46.719
<v Speaker 4>nerve to talk about ducks fat, like, try some duck fat,

0:53:46.760 --> 0:53:48.000
<v Speaker 4>maybe it'll be an improvement.

0:53:48.600 --> 0:53:50.160
<v Speaker 1>He probably just mean he don't know where to get it.

0:53:51.200 --> 0:53:52.680
<v Speaker 4>You never trying to get it because he stops my

0:53:52.760 --> 0:53:55.080
<v Speaker 4>face And the funny thing is now like everything in hindsight,

0:53:55.400 --> 0:53:57.279
<v Speaker 4>realizing that he's acting like he doesn't know who I

0:53:57.400 --> 0:53:59.040
<v Speaker 4>am making fun of the way I cook.

0:53:59.120 --> 0:54:02.240
<v Speaker 2>But he's been stuck my fees and copying my recipes

0:54:02.280 --> 0:54:03.279
<v Speaker 2>for seven years.

0:54:03.280 --> 0:54:05.680
<v Speaker 1>Right, he knows, just like he don't know about fresh

0:54:05.719 --> 0:54:07.600
<v Speaker 1>go He said, no, no, you just can't get away

0:54:07.640 --> 0:54:08.160
<v Speaker 1>with using it.

0:54:08.239 --> 0:54:10.360
<v Speaker 4>He can't get away with using that fat because everybody

0:54:10.360 --> 0:54:11.440
<v Speaker 4>would know who he took it from.

0:54:11.840 --> 0:54:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm. And Darius justify as much as his behavior

0:54:14.680 --> 0:54:17.600
<v Speaker 1>and denies that he's a bully because he is gay

0:54:17.880 --> 0:54:21.600
<v Speaker 1>again again in quotes. He says, I think what's happening

0:54:21.800 --> 0:54:24.000
<v Speaker 1>is is that people may not be familiar with my

0:54:24.160 --> 0:54:26.280
<v Speaker 1>brand because of some of the hate mail I'm getting.

0:54:26.320 --> 0:54:28.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, stop up using black women, keep your hands

0:54:28.960 --> 0:54:32.000
<v Speaker 1>off black women. And I'm openly gay, but I don't

0:54:32.040 --> 0:54:37.839
<v Speaker 1>come across as gay. And what a rollercoaster of a sentence, right,

0:54:38.840 --> 0:54:42.520
<v Speaker 1>keep your hands off black women? He's it, But I'm

0:54:42.640 --> 0:54:45.880
<v Speaker 1>gay though, Like, what do you mean how could I

0:54:45.960 --> 0:54:46.680
<v Speaker 1>harm black women?

0:54:46.760 --> 0:54:51.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm gay? Like, as he's actively harassing me and then

0:54:51.560 --> 0:54:53.080
<v Speaker 2>denying that he's a.

0:54:53.200 --> 0:54:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Bully and trigger warning. We're gonna look at some tweets

0:54:56.360 --> 0:54:59.839
<v Speaker 1>that are you know, murder assault, Like if you wanted

0:54:59.840 --> 0:55:01.880
<v Speaker 1>to skip ahead a couple of minutes, I'll put a

0:55:02.239 --> 0:55:04.560
<v Speaker 1>note in the episode here. But so this is a

0:55:04.560 --> 0:55:07.000
<v Speaker 1>tweet from Darius Williams. Just saw a woman jogging at

0:55:07.040 --> 0:55:09.319
<v Speaker 1>this hour alone and they wonder how they come up

0:55:09.400 --> 0:55:13.600
<v Speaker 1>missing and did one thing. The Bible always said you

0:55:13.719 --> 0:55:19.160
<v Speaker 1>can't rape the willing. What he's discussing, that's it. I

0:55:19.280 --> 0:55:22.719
<v Speaker 1>must tell the truth. Bill Cosby raped me too exclamation

0:55:22.920 --> 0:55:28.440
<v Speaker 1>point And he really thinks he's a comedian. Wow, and

0:55:28.560 --> 0:55:30.719
<v Speaker 1>he has no remorse, Like I was just I was

0:55:30.800 --> 0:55:34.120
<v Speaker 1>watching an interview last night, and he's laughing about all

0:55:34.160 --> 0:55:37.880
<v Speaker 1>of this and twisting it into like I can't believe

0:55:38.080 --> 0:55:39.960
<v Speaker 1>that they would accuse me of rape. Well, first of all,

0:55:40.000 --> 0:55:42.400
<v Speaker 1>nobody accused him of rape, but those tweets did come up.

0:55:42.480 --> 0:55:45.000
<v Speaker 1>He was being accused of being a rape apologist. Maybe

0:55:45.040 --> 0:55:49.280
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't know the difference as somebody as a survivor.

0:55:49.400 --> 0:55:51.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't. I don't think this is funny. Like, I

0:55:51.360 --> 0:55:54.319
<v Speaker 2>just I can't believe that one he would leave those

0:55:54.320 --> 0:56:00.000
<v Speaker 2>tweets up his career, and then when they get.

0:56:02.040 --> 0:56:04.600
<v Speaker 4>To not address it and just come out and say

0:56:05.239 --> 0:56:09.160
<v Speaker 4>even if it was ignorant, just to even just to say,

0:56:09.360 --> 0:56:12.680
<v Speaker 4>this is not these this doesn't represent how I really feel,

0:56:13.360 --> 0:56:16.560
<v Speaker 4>you know, apologized, and this is how I'm trying to

0:56:16.640 --> 0:56:20.120
<v Speaker 4>do right going forward. None of that happened, right, He

0:56:20.680 --> 0:56:24.080
<v Speaker 4>just he twisted it into into a story, a sideshow

0:56:24.239 --> 0:56:26.680
<v Speaker 4>about I can't believe they would accuse me of rape,

0:56:26.760 --> 0:56:28.360
<v Speaker 4>like and then laughing about it. But that's not what

0:56:28.520 --> 0:56:31.040
<v Speaker 4>anybody said. So when he does that, then he's not

0:56:31.160 --> 0:56:34.280
<v Speaker 4>actually addressing what we are talking about.

0:56:34.640 --> 0:56:34.800
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:56:34.920 --> 0:56:37.080
<v Speaker 2>It's like Trump, It's like just deflect.

0:56:36.880 --> 0:56:40.879
<v Speaker 4>And deny and fake news and then everybody else will

0:56:40.880 --> 0:56:42.439
<v Speaker 4>forget what we were actually talking about.

0:56:42.440 --> 0:56:45.520
<v Speaker 1>That's literally what I was gonna say, is he's deflecting,

0:56:45.800 --> 0:56:48.279
<v Speaker 1>just like Trump in this way of like, oh that

0:56:48.400 --> 0:56:50.680
<v Speaker 1>was a joke. Oh that's so weird, I'm laughing at it,

0:56:50.760 --> 0:56:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Get over it, move on like And it's actually a

0:56:53.080 --> 0:56:57.399
<v Speaker 1>tactic that works, Like abusers use that tactic all the time,

0:56:57.800 --> 0:57:01.000
<v Speaker 1>like to diminish how you feel about something. The gaslight,

0:57:01.040 --> 0:57:02.560
<v Speaker 1>you make you think that it never happened, or it

0:57:02.640 --> 0:57:05.319
<v Speaker 1>wasn't real, or they were joking, you know. And he's

0:57:05.800 --> 0:57:10.040
<v Speaker 1>very good at that, sadly, and people are believing it.

0:57:10.080 --> 0:57:12.880
<v Speaker 1>When Southern Grit published an article about Darius by journalist

0:57:12.960 --> 0:57:16.480
<v Speaker 1>Deborah Freeman, his fans went after her with aggression. The

0:57:16.600 --> 0:57:19.840
<v Speaker 1>harassment rose to death threads, and Southern Grit's editor in

0:57:19.920 --> 0:57:22.600
<v Speaker 1>chief had to submit a video statement announcing his support

0:57:22.680 --> 0:57:26.800
<v Speaker 1>of her. Darius purposely never denounced the threads, stating that

0:57:26.880 --> 0:57:28.960
<v Speaker 1>he never threatened anyone, so he was just trying to

0:57:29.000 --> 0:57:33.040
<v Speaker 1>act like, Look, it's just like what Trump did with

0:57:33.120 --> 0:57:35.640
<v Speaker 1>all the racist people who voted for him. He was

0:57:35.840 --> 0:57:38.880
<v Speaker 1>like the only thing that ever made Trump met about

0:57:38.920 --> 0:57:41.960
<v Speaker 1>his supporters was is that they were poor. He did

0:57:42.040 --> 0:57:44.000
<v Speaker 1>not like the insurrection.

0:57:44.280 --> 0:57:44.640
<v Speaker 2>He like.

0:57:48.640 --> 0:57:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Y'all couldn't come through the Capitol in suits, bitch, y'all

0:57:51.280 --> 0:57:53.160
<v Speaker 1>couldn't go to men's warehouse, and like the way you look,

0:57:53.240 --> 0:57:55.280
<v Speaker 1>how you're gonna come up here wearing all this crazy

0:57:55.320 --> 0:57:56.880
<v Speaker 1>warpaint of shit you get to get out?

0:57:59.360 --> 0:58:02.440
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, like he's if you could take Trump and

0:58:02.480 --> 0:58:06.000
<v Speaker 4>turn him into a black smooth blogger and Sean King.

0:58:07.560 --> 0:58:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, it's all of those things, because this

0:58:09.800 --> 0:58:11.760
<v Speaker 1>did remind me so much of Seaun King during this

0:58:11.880 --> 0:58:14.080
<v Speaker 1>episode of just going from griff to grift and acting

0:58:14.160 --> 0:58:17.480
<v Speaker 1>like ooops, did not like Sean King.

0:58:18.280 --> 0:58:21.600
<v Speaker 4>Is Seaun King's grifts with like Trump's lies and Tyler

0:58:21.680 --> 0:58:25.800
<v Speaker 4>Perry's you know, all in one house operation. Like it's

0:58:25.840 --> 0:58:27.920
<v Speaker 4>just like it's like the three of those people combined,

0:58:27.960 --> 0:58:31.640
<v Speaker 4>and that's that's Darius Trump, Sean King, and Tyler Perry.

0:58:31.840 --> 0:58:34.800
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty iconic. I think that he hears this, so

0:58:35.040 --> 0:58:37.320
<v Speaker 1>he might be deeply flattered by that. And that's not

0:58:37.480 --> 0:58:38.840
<v Speaker 1>what we mean. It's not a compliment.

0:58:38.880 --> 0:58:40.080
<v Speaker 2>It's not a compliment at all.

0:58:40.280 --> 0:58:42.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's just it's just crazy, like when you're like

0:58:42.880 --> 0:58:45.280
<v Speaker 4>if you're looking at something on paper, and like nobody

0:58:45.360 --> 0:58:46.480
<v Speaker 4>asked him direct questions.

0:58:46.520 --> 0:58:48.240
<v Speaker 1>So he's getting away with this because he's.

0:58:48.160 --> 0:58:51.280
<v Speaker 4>Not he's not really being interviewed by anybody that's gonna

0:58:51.280 --> 0:58:53.640
<v Speaker 4>hold him accountable. Like he can go on live and

0:58:53.800 --> 0:58:58.400
<v Speaker 4>just create his alternative version of reality and his little bubble.

0:58:59.400 --> 0:59:02.120
<v Speaker 2>But everybody else is looking through receipts.

0:59:01.760 --> 0:59:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Like there's just too many of them adding up.

0:59:04.560 --> 0:59:06.960
<v Speaker 2>They're everywhere, and he's everywhere.

0:59:07.120 --> 0:59:11.720
<v Speaker 1>There's care it's unhinged in a way that I look

0:59:11.800 --> 0:59:13.560
<v Speaker 1>and it's like a train It's like a you know,

0:59:13.720 --> 0:59:16.440
<v Speaker 1>like a car crash or a train wreck where I

0:59:16.560 --> 0:59:19.600
<v Speaker 1>just can't look away from this man in his grips

0:59:20.360 --> 0:59:22.600
<v Speaker 1>and he's still going, y'all, he and and nobody's jail

0:59:22.760 --> 0:59:26.919
<v Speaker 1>hand and nobody's custody, and you know, but he's gonna

0:59:27.000 --> 0:59:32.040
<v Speaker 1>keep going, uh forever, hopefully not forever. Hopefully, Angelia, you've

0:59:32.040 --> 0:59:35.040
<v Speaker 1>done some great work really exposing this and stopping the

0:59:35.120 --> 0:59:37.240
<v Speaker 1>heart and hopefully making people aware of something so that

0:59:37.360 --> 0:59:39.880
<v Speaker 1>he can stop harming folks when they're aware that he

0:59:40.040 --> 0:59:42.360
<v Speaker 1>is a criminal. So thank you for your time and

0:59:42.480 --> 0:59:46.200
<v Speaker 1>your energy doing the right thing. And I know that

0:59:46.280 --> 0:59:49.280
<v Speaker 1>that's been hard because people are also retaliating against you,

0:59:49.760 --> 0:59:52.480
<v Speaker 1>and you're dealing with a lot, and you don't deserve that.

0:59:52.520 --> 0:59:54.360
<v Speaker 1>You're a queen, you're an icon. I was so excited

0:59:54.400 --> 0:59:58.680
<v Speaker 1>to talk to you. This has been so fantastic. But

0:59:58.800 --> 1:00:00.360
<v Speaker 1>we're about to get to the status part the show,

1:00:00.360 --> 1:00:03.120
<v Speaker 1>which is where I have to let Angela go and

1:00:03.840 --> 1:00:10.320
<v Speaker 1>we'll be right back. Scam cod and we're back after

1:00:10.400 --> 1:00:12.640
<v Speaker 1>some non scam advertisements, and this is just Scammer of

1:00:12.640 --> 1:00:14.880
<v Speaker 1>the Week where we highlight honorary Charlotton. Or maybe they're

1:00:14.920 --> 1:00:16.440
<v Speaker 1>just like a piece of shirit like Darius. Who knows.

1:00:17.480 --> 1:00:21.000
<v Speaker 1>So today we're talking about Fisher Industries owner Tommy Fisher

1:00:21.160 --> 1:00:23.200
<v Speaker 1>is out of thirty million dollars after building a three

1:00:23.280 --> 1:00:25.760
<v Speaker 1>mile section of a border wall and ending up with

1:00:25.880 --> 1:00:29.600
<v Speaker 1>no buyers. In twenty nineteen, We Build the Wall, a

1:00:29.760 --> 1:00:33.640
<v Speaker 1>nonprofit co founded by Steve Bannon, gave Fisher eight point

1:00:33.680 --> 1:00:35.840
<v Speaker 1>four million dollars to build two sections of a wall

1:00:35.880 --> 1:00:38.720
<v Speaker 1>along the New Mexico and Texas borders, but the cost

1:00:38.880 --> 1:00:41.680
<v Speaker 1>ballooned to thirty million dollars and they only gave him

1:00:41.720 --> 1:00:44.200
<v Speaker 1>eight point four This she said, this would be really fun.

1:00:44.520 --> 1:00:46.520
<v Speaker 1>It would be a project that would be remembered like

1:00:46.600 --> 1:00:48.439
<v Speaker 1>the Hoover Dam. That's what he thought he was getting

1:00:48.440 --> 1:00:51.200
<v Speaker 1>involved in. He was making a racism wall and thought

1:00:51.240 --> 1:00:54.720
<v Speaker 1>it was the Hoover Dam, the Hoover Dam. That same year,

1:00:54.920 --> 1:00:58.040
<v Speaker 1>the founders of this Build the Wall, We Build the

1:00:58.040 --> 1:01:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Wall organization were indicted under suspicion of defrauding donors of

1:01:01.000 --> 1:01:03.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty five million dollars in connection to the organization. So

1:01:03.200 --> 1:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>they were just stealing money based on racism. They were like, hey,

1:01:06.520 --> 1:01:07.600
<v Speaker 1>why you Darius scam?

1:01:07.760 --> 1:01:10.320
