00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: The cemetery where her mom is buried has increased security.

111
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:40,920

112
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:41,440

117
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,239
Speaker 1: kem wit is here with me today.

118
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 7: Hey, hey, and.

119
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: Let's get into some yeat all right. Well, the cemetery

120
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: where Meghan the Stallion's mom is buried reportedly has had

121
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: to increase security because of threats from the Barbs. You

122
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: saw they posted the location of where her mom's grave

123
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: site is.

124
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 4: I think something should be off limits, and that is

125
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 4: one of the things.

126
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: Well, according to reports, they want to make it clear

127
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: nothing has happened to the grave site yet, but they

128
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: are on high alert.

129
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 3: And then Barbs be going a little crazy.

130
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 4: So I can't imagine being that much of a fan

131
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 4: of someone that you've never met, like to the point

132
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 4: that you're willing to commit a felony on their behalf.

133
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 2: That's a cult, right, and.

134
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 3: You know that's it's kind of like.

135
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: Look, these women are going back and forth on vinyl

136
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: on they have their beef with each other. But this

137
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you need to go in and do something

138
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 1: that's going to be illegal and commit a crime to

139
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 1: show that you support somebody's music. Just stream the song

140
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: that you like and purchase it if you can.

141
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 2: Or that's all you got to do something mean.

142
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 4: Y'all are good at doing that. Tweet something mean, but

143
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 4: don't don't commit a felony.

144
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: By the way, did you see this message from Ken Barbie?

145
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: It's kem Barbie because Nicki Minaj mentioned in the song Bigfoot,

146
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: if you don't apologize to your mama in twenty four

147
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: hours is going to get uglier than Kem Barbie.

00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 3: Okay, don't play. You gotta read this whole entire post.

00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: by the way, in the midst of, like you know,

163
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: all of her public drama. She's been having a great

164
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: career time and that's how you really move forward, all right.

165
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: Byron Allen has made a thirty billion dollar bid for

166
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 1: Paramount Global in debt and equity. So they're saying this

167
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: is the best solution for the Paramount Global shareholders and

168
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: the bid should be taken seriously and pursued. So we'll

169
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: see what ends up happening with that, with this thirty

170
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: billion dollar bid, all right. Joe Button has called Drea

171
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: a predator because people are saying that she's pregnant by

172
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: Jayalen Green from the Houston Rockets.

173
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 3: That is her rumored boyfriend. Mind you, none of these

174
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 3: things are confirmed.

175
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: It's not confirmed that she's pregnant, it's not confirmed that

176
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: they're dating. Neither of them have said that. Is this

177
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: all rumors at this time? Jalen Green is twenty one

178
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: years old. Drea has a twenty one year old son

179
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: who is the same age as her boyfriend.

180
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: I alleged boyfriend.

181
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, her alleged boyfriend. Here's what Joe Button had to say,

182
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: and cool.

183
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 10: If you want a twenty one year old Google now

184
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 10: you've got a baby by twenty one year old, you

185
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 10: are a predator. It's too many horror stories of athletes

186
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 10: losing everything that they ever had because they're not insulated.

187
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 2: I don't see.

188
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 3: Here's the thing.

189
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: Is it her age or is it the fact that

190
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: he's a ballplayer that's about to get a huge content?

191
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 4: Well, I think at some point you got to blame

192
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 4: the ball players twenty one. You know how the body works,

193
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 4: and you know, if AA and B equal C.

194
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: Right, and if they're all they're together and they end

195
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: up together. Yeah, you know, so sometimes there's things that

196
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: go into relationships. It's none of our business. I talked

197
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: about Share dating younger, Madonna dating younger, Mariah Carey dating younger.

198
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: You know, it's a lot. So it's kind of like,

199
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: are you a predator? That's a really strong word. All right,

200
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: well that is your yet and when we come back,

Speaker 3: I actually while I was up there.

249
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: And it could be something small like think about something

250
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: new that you could do. It could be something like

251
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: taking a different route on your way home and being

252
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: able to see something new. Or it could be something

253
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: bigger than that avocado Exactly, I don't I've never had

254
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: an avocado. And so I made a commitment to her

00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: because that's her favorite. She was like, who booked you

256

00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 3: nobout no no, no.

319
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 2: I thought he was like we poisoned, Like, oh yeah,

320
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 2: tell me more. Wait out. I wonder how much money

321
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 2: he was though.

322
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: Hey, anonymous color, how are you how you doing? Because

323
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: it's me and Akim and we want to hear your

324
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 1: little secret.

325
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 6: All right.

326
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 11: When I was younger a few years ago, I was

327
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 11: at a house party. It was more like a friend's housewarming,

328
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 11: and then I was a little drunk. So I was

329
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 11: in the bathroom, you know, how to go number two,

330
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 11: But because I was kind of, you know, like tipsy

331
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 11: and just kind of feeling like just I don't know,

332
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 11: maybe let me let me try a prank, so I

333
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 11: ended up kind of going number two in their water

334
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 11: tank of the toilet instead of in the toilet.

335
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 9: I didn't think.

336
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 2: I didn't think anything of it.

337
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 11: But apparently all their plumbings are messed up, all their plumbing.

338
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I must have been a serious number two.

339
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of it.

340
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 4: Don't even have to be that serious because you aren't

341
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 4: supposed to put anything at the top.

342
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 3: But how did you how did you balance above the tank?

343
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 11: I kind of just stood on the toilet with what

344
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 11: it was closed.

345
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 3: Wow, it seems uncomfortable too.

346
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 2: Are you still friends with this person?

347
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 12: Yeah?

348
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 11: And then to this day, I still haven't confessed anything,

349
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 11: so he doesn't know who exactly it was.

350
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 4: But it was pretty but yeah, i'd be very upset.

351
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 11: How did somebody do this. Oh yeah, obviously I regret

352
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 11: it because it costs him a lot of money to repair.

353
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 3: Get that you're a little pro okay, your little ruin

354
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 3: the whole plumbing system.

355
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 4: You need to go ahead and cash app that man,

356
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 4: and you need to change cash app that.

357
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 2: Man, whatever it cause. At least app you need to

358
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 2: take him to.

359
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 3: Dinner and just say I just felt like I needed.

360
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 4: To take him to dinner, buy him a just because

361
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 4: Gift is a good friend.

362
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 2: That is terrible.

363
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: Imagine one day he just confessed to him and they

364
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 3: stopped being friends.

365
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: I stopped being friends. Money.

366
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 3: That's a lot of money with friends like those. But

Speaker 3: no judgment from us. But thank you for calling, Thank

386
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: he was talking about Amanda Sells doing an interview with

387
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: his ex wife Bambie. And here's what he had to

389
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,640

397
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: Amanda Seales responded, oh wow, I'll address this later. But

398
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: sometimes you go to watch a full interviewer in order

399
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: to know and the truth is that yes, she did

400
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: tell her.

401
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 3: Listen to this clip.

402
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 2: Did you know that he subscribed?

403
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 9: No?

404
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 2: I did not. So the tooth is Yes, listen to

405
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 2: the whole interview before he threw out those.

406
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 3: Shots, and I will say this, that laugh made it

407
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 3: seem like nug good.

408
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right.

409
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:28,959
Speaker 3: You never want somebody to say, y'all mess with him

410
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 3: in there start laughing like that, all right?

411
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: And t Paine is saying that he stopped taking credit

412
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: for country songs that he's written because of what happens afterwards.

413
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 3: Listen to this.

414
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 2: Country and gospel music. That's where that's where all my

415
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 2: harmony is gone.

416
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 3: Bro.

417
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 6: I wrote a lot of country songs.

418
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 3: Stop taking credit for it because as cool as it is.

419
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 11: To see your name and those credits like that, the

420
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 11: racism that comes after it is just like I'll just

421
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 11: take the check.

422
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 2: I don't blame them.

423
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that country music.

424
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: First of all, black people originateduntry music, which is really

425
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 1: wild that they act like we're not supposed to be there.

426
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 3: And just remember what Little nas X went through. Yeah,

427
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,360
Speaker 3: you know where Old Town Road.

428
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 4: And then we.

429
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 2: Originated a rock too.

430
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 4: Like you act like all music is black, but they're like, oh,

431
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 4: we're gonna we're putting you in the Hall of Fames.

432
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: It should be all of us and the country music

433
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: Awards like they act like that doesn't qualify for a

434
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: country song because of X, Y and Z. And we

435
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: always celebrate when there's like one black person that's doing

436
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: so well because truthfully, I see a lot more black

437
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: country artists now too, and so that are really doing

438
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 1: their thing. Because it feels like even in sports, as

439
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: soon as black people start coming in and we just

440
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: take over the whole thing.

441
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 3: And so tennis, yeah, golf, yea, everything all right.

442
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: Martin Lawrence and Shannon Sharp have teamed up for an

443
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: Oico Super Bowl commercial and they were talking with Extra's

444
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 1: Melvin Robert on the golf course as they were filming

445
00:18:58,240 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: their spot.

446
00:18:58,800 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 3: For the super Bowl.

447
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 1: By the way, all the super Bowl spots have sold out,

448
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: so just that's a lot of money right there. But

449
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: here is what Martin Lawrence had to say about a

450
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: new bad boy Bad Boys.

451
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:10,959
Speaker 2: For It's Coleman.

452
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 5: I think this as a chance to be the best

453
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 5: one on all dollar and be really surprised.

454
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: Okay, it's going to be the best. Listen, where is

455
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: the super Bowl this year in Vegas? Okay, I'm not

456
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 1: even going to tell y'all. I'll talk about it later.

457
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: But I had a potential booking out there, but it

458
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: was crazy. But Taylor Swift, by the way, they are

459
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how to get her involved with

460
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl halftime show, but she decided no. They

461
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: could forget about any hopes of her performing in that

462
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: halftime show. You know it's in Vegas February eleventh. She

463
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: will be there because her boyfriend Travis Kelsey will be

464
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: playing the Kansas City Chiefs, you know, the forty nine ers.

465
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 9: I know.

466
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: I actually watched the playoffs over the weekend and obviously

467
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 1: we know Usher is going to be performing. Post Malone

468
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: is a ready book to perform. But the US Sun

469
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: has been told Taylor Swift is not interested. She just

470
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 1: wants to watch the game. She just wants to support

471
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: Travis and the Chiefs. She's made a lot of money.

472
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: They talked about the numbers that she's made for the

473
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs just by her being at the games

474
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: and how much they've gotten from that.

475
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 3: So just her presence alone.

476
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,760

00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 2: I would not have guessed Baltimore.

513
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,360

Speaker 1: to go somewhere for Valentine's Day, maybe you try to

519
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: make that trip. All right, now, let's talk about because

520
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 1: it is a wealth Wednesday, I want to discuss loud budgeting.

521
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 3: Have you ever heard of such a thing?

522
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 9: I have not.

523
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: Loud budgeting is basically kind of like the opposite of

524
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: quiet luxury.

525
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 3: The idea is that you're going to be.

526
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: Transparent and explicit with people in your life about what

527
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: you are and aren't willing to spend money on.

528
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 3: All right, do we have an example.

529
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: Here's an example on TikTok from about what is loud

530
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: budgeting out.

531
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 7: Quiet luxury in loud budgeting, Sorry, can't go out to dinner.

532
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 7: I've got seven dollars a day to live on.

533
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 2: Seven dollars a day.

534
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 3: Where you live in Nebraska, I can't said I can't

535
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 3: go out to dinner. I've got seven dollars a day.

536
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 3: You are loud budgeting.

537
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 1: So lets people be financially transparent without feeling embarrassed.

538
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 3: That's basically the idea.

539
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: But according to TikToker, Lucas battle be honest and realistic

540
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: about money, and that is what should be considered stylish

541
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: and cool.

542
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 4: Oh I've been honest. I've been like, oh girl, I'm broke.

543
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:18,159

Speaker 4: Beat up with other gays that like play video games

755
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 4: or whatever hobbies you do. Because like I was having

756
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 4: the same problem. So I started playing tennis with a

757
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 4: bunch of gay people and it's fun because I played

758
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 4: ten Yes, So just like look up gay gamers or something,

759
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 4: those like blogs for all that type of stuff.

760
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 2: Oh hell yeah.

761
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 6: Okay.

762
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: With Tabitha Brown when I was with her yesterday, she

763
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: has this book out. I did a new thing.

764
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 3: And sometimes you have to get out of your comfort zone.

765
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: And it could be small things that you guys decide

766
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: to do, like instead of eating, you know, at home,

767
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: maybe you pick a restaurant and you could set a

768
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: date like once a week, we're gonna go pick a restaurant.

769
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: And then even like the two of you are in

770
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: the house isolated, why not go on group outings like

771
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: I Keema saying, meet up with other people. But even

772
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: if you have friends or whatever, that y'all could be like, hey,

773
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: what y'all doing, Let's go have a drink. Or it

774
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: could be just something really small that doesn't take a

775
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: lot of time commitment.

776
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 3: And comedy clubs.

777
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I came as a comedian, and I'm

778
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: sure there's a comedy club in the area that you

779
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: could go to.

780
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go to a comedy show. That's always fun.

781
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 3: And one more thing I want to say.

782
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: You could make it fun like a game where maybe

783
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: every other week, you know, you guys got to surprise

784
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: each other. So maybe two weeks out the month, you're

785
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: surprising him with something. Two weeks out the month he's

786
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: surprising you. It could be big, it could be small,

787
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: but y'all got to make a plan to do something.

788
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: So once a week you're doing something and the other

789
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: person's in charge.

790
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 2: No, that's a good idea.

Speaker 7: her way into Silicon Valley and is a star in

817
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 7: the technology world, which for a black woman, Let's not

00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 7: even talk about how hard that is. She's the founder

819
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 7: of Backstage Capital. Anne has raised thirty million dollars to

820
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 7: help over two hundred people start businesses. I can't wait

821
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 7: to talk about.

822
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:27,800
Speaker 3: That is an author.

823
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 7: Let's not forget that author. She has a new book out,

824
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 7: Your First million. But folks, this lady sitting right here

825
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 7: next to me was homeless. She was on food stamps

826
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 7: into her thirties, and now she has changed the world.

827
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: Before you tell you, sir, I want to say that

828
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: I had been filing with you for years, so I'm

829
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 1: excited to have you up here as well.

830
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 13: This is a big honor to be here, so I

831
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 13: appreciate it.

832
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 3: How did it happen?

833
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 13: Well, at thirty four, I'm forty three, now thirty four,

834
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 13: I found myself living at the airport in San Francisco,

835
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 13: and I had been working on this fund, this venture

836
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 13: capital fund for three years and just not you know,

837
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 13: knocked on doors, wasn't getting any anywhere. But I was

838
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 13: really keeping up with the founders and their stories and

839
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 13: what they were building. And I think that was a

840
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 13: big key to this, because when opportunity did come, I

841
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 13: was ready. Prior to that, I wanted to start a

842
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 13: company once I understood what startups were, because I've always

843
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 13: been starting companies my whole life, but not knowing enough

844
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 13: about it to make it work. So I always started

845
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 13: and then they would fail. Started it and they would fail,

846
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 13: and then finally I was like, I'm gonna start a

847
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 13: tech company because I kind of understand it. But then

848
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 13: I've read in twenty thirteen or so a statistic that

849
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 13: changed everything for me, which was that less than ten

850
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 13: percent of venture funding goes to anyone who's not a

851
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 13: white man in a US.

852
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 3: And then not just that, but let's talk about black women.

853
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 13: How Yeah, you can't even see us on the blip.

854
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,399
Speaker 13: So I thought, what if instead of trying to raise

855
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 13: for one company, I could raise for several companies a

856
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 13: fund and be a check writer, so that when I

857
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 13: was screaming and yelling about this, it wouldn't just be

858
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 13: some angry black woman that they were going to try

859
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 13: to peg me as I was going to be an

860
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 13: angry black woman who also who could write a check.

861
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: And that's amazing to not just be thinking about yourself, right,

862
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 1: but also as you're trying to raise money for yourself,

863
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 1: how do I raise money to other people as well?

864
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 3: Because you identified something that was a necessity.

865
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: Right now, I'm with Stacy Tisdale from Wealth Wednesdays and

866
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: we're talking to Ireland Hamilton, the founder of the Ventor Fund,

867
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: Backstage Capital and also author of Your First Million, and

868
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: Mark Cuban was somebody who invested with you, So can

869
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,280
Speaker 1: you tell how that even happened?

870
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,479
Speaker 13: Yeah, Mark, You've been invested a total of six million

871
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 13: dollars into my fund and I've raised about thirty So

872
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 13: first of go around it was one million, then five

873
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 13: that's right, twenty nineteen was one million. And what happened

874
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 13: there was we met at south By Southwest in Austin.

875
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 13: We spoke on the same stage and it went really well.

876
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 13: So I use it as, you know, a chance to

877
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 13: just ask him, Hey, do you want to be on

878
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 13: my fund? He said, nah, I don't really like being

879
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 13: in other people's funds. Then a few weeks later, a

880
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 13: few days later, an article came out about me. This

881
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 13: was twenty nineteen. Article came out about me that said

882
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 13: my fund had failed because it hadn't raised it all yet.

883
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 13: You gotta understand, I'm around people raising funds all day long.

884
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:14,720
Speaker 13: I know the process behind the scenes. Most people's funds

885
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 13: take a year, two or three years to raise. So

886
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 13: it was like they were picking on me a little bit.

887
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 13: And that article made some of my investors take their

888
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 13: money out.

889
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,720
Speaker 7: Oh is this when you lost five million?

890
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 13: That was a different time.

891
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 3: I left that moment. There's a crazy.

892
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 13: So he saw that and he reached out to me.

893
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 13: He said, what we need to do is make you

894
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 13: independently wealthy so that you have to deal with this.

895
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 13: And she said, I'm going to give you a million

896
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 13: dollars invested in any way you want to. She just

897
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 13: kind of like pick you up. And then when George

898
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 13: Floyd was murdered and we were going through that reckoning,

899
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 13: out of the blue and I got an email from

900
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 13: him and they just said, I want to do more.

901
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 13: I want to put five million more in.

902
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 7: Let's go.

903
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:55,959
Speaker 13: Wow.

904
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 3: I was like, let's go. I like, let's go.

905
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 13: Because he understood the urgent of the moment. We need

906
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 13: to catalyze the people who are already doing the work.

907
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 13: But it was his idea to give me more of

908
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 13: the upside. He said, I'm gonna give you x amount

909
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 13: of profit share, which is way more than industry standard.

910
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:13,879
Speaker 3: Arlen Hamilton is here.

911
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: Of course, my partner in Wealth Wednesday, Stacy Tisdale is here,

912
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: and we have more when we come back.

913
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 3: It's a Wealth Wednesday.

914
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 14: I've kind of dream of wealthy and I don't mind

915
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 14: sharing my wealth dog.

916

00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: What's up his Way Up with Angela Yee. I'm Angela

919
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 1: Yee and we are talking to Arlen Hamilton. She's the

920
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,720
Speaker 1: author of Your First Million and the founder of Backstag's Capital,

921
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: which is a venture fund, and of course because it's

922
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: a wealth Wednesday, I have my partner Stacy Tisdale here. Now, Stacy,

923
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 1: you have a question.

924
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 7: Let's talk about Backstage for a minute. You've raised over

925
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 7: thirty million dollars. You invest, like all venture capitalists, in

926
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 7: what you consider to be high potential founders. What makes

927
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 7: someone someone you want to invest in?

928
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,439
Speaker 13: If you go to Backstagecapital dot com, you can apply

929
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 13: for investment if you feel like you're like, take a

930
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 13: look at it and say am I ready for this?

931
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 13: Or do I want to wait or whatever. But we

932
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 13: look at every single application. But if we say no

933
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 13: to you, or if we don't get back to you,

934
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,320
Speaker 13: it's nothing to do with your company. But there's also

935
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 13: so much you have control over. Like, for instance, somebody

936
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 13: could come to us or to me and say I

937
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 13: want to raise one hundred thousand dollars because X y Z,

938
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 13: and I'll say, okay, cool, what's your product and then

939
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 13: I'll say, well, I haven't put the product out because

940
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 13: haven't raised. There are so many steps you could take

941
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 13: before you even get to an investor. You can do

942
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 13: things like survey an audience. Do you have an audience?

943
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 13: Have you built some sort of a community, a base.

944
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 13: It's like, what makes you think people like this? And

945
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 13: so I like, I love when people come to me

946
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 13: and say, yeah, I haven't raised anything, or we have it.

947
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 13: We're pre product and pre revenue, but we have surveyed

948
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 13: one thousand people over the past twelve months, and we

949
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 13: have tweaked this and that, so we know how to

950
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 13: spend that money once we get it. Or we've done

951
00:39:58,239 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 13: some paid advertising so we know if you put it,

952
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,320
Speaker 13: we get three out. So all we need to do

953
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 13: is add fuel for the fire. There's a lot of

954
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 13: things you can do before you even come to me

955
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 13: that tell me that you're serious about this. Another thing

956
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 13: to note is I look at what have you done

957
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 13: so far with the resources you have.

958
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 3: It's a wealth Wednesday Ireland Hamilton is here.

959
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 1: She's the founder of Backstage Capital and author of Your

960
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: First Million, and Ireland, I want to ask you for

961
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: our entrepreneurs who are just getting started. What is the

962
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: best piece of advice that you could give them, something

963
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: that you wish you would have known.

964
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,800
Speaker 13: I really believe that the very first thing you should

965
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 13: think about is hiring executive assistant type who can free

966
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 13: up the CEO's time from the menial tasks and the

967
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 13: minutia so that that CEO can do what they do best,

968
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 13: which should be sales, maybe fundraising if you go that route,

969
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 13: and customer service. And I've studied this with a lot

970
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 13: of companies. They'll spend twenty plus hours a week invoicing

971
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 13: or posting or doing things that very important things. And

972
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 13: I said, meno, but I'm probably the wrong phrasing. They're

973
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 13: very important, but they're tediars and they can be done

974
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 13: by someone who loves doing that, so right, But you

975
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 13: can hire them for five hours a week and you

976
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 13: can start taking that off your plate so that you

977
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 13: then can put the same ten five twenty hours. Imagine

978
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 13: if like the thing that brings you the most opportunity,

979
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 13: if you're able to do that twenty times the amount

980
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:25,320
Speaker 13: of times.

981
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 7: You can do it today, and people are going to

982
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 7: actually be able to hear, see and work with you

983
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 7: in person.

984
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:30,759

Speaker 13: I know that when I go to a conference or

1005
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 13: to an event, I don't want to sit there and

1006
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 13: just listen to people. I want to meet the people

1007
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 13: who could be my future partners and want access to

1008
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,280

Speaker 13: You're going to be among many of my investors, like

1010
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,080

1011
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 13: in my life are going to be at the event.

1012
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 13: And I say, if you can meet two or three

1013
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 13: really strong people who you keep a relationship with, it's

1014
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:56,160
