Listen to this want 142 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: you have fun, We want you to feel safe, and 143 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: most importantly, we want me to feel safe. So we 144 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: have strict policies in place. If anyone in this theater 145 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: commits an act of violence at any point during the show, 146 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: you will be awarded the Oscar for Best Actor and 147 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: permitted to give a nineteen minute long speak. No, but seriously, 148 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: the Academy has a crisis team in place. If anything 149 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: unpredictable or violent happens during the ceremony, just do it 150 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: did last year? Nothing all right? Well, Molly McNerney said 151 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: that her husband did not go harder because they didn't 152 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: want to make this year all about last year. She 153 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: told Variety, I cannot tell you how many Will Smith 154 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: jokes we had that we then got rid of. We 155 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: think that only the best for that roommate it. There 156 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: was certainly something that went harder, but we didn't think 157 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: that was our place to do that. That should be 158 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: Chris Rock, not us. But they didn't want to ignore 159 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: it all together. What did you guys think? I think 160 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: that I felt like the jokes were fair. I feel 161 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: like it wasn't too hard Yeah, I feel like they 162 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: went a little light, you know, in comparison to what 163 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: I was expecting Jimmy Kimmel to do throughout the night. 164 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: But I kept thinking to myself that just last week 165 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: we had Chris Rock do an hour special where those 166 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: last five minutes really rocked social media, rock the media world. 167 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: And I think that Molly and Jimmy, as they were 168 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 1: getting ready to prepare Lost week, they probably thought, you know, 169 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: that didn't turn off that well, you know rocky things 170 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: turn on Chris Rock. It really did that. He dropped 171 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: it right before the Oscars. Side. Barty Kimmel's wife is 172 00:08:53,600 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: the EP of the Oscars. Yeah, I's family, hire your husband. Yeah, 173 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: But I think that it was the right move for 174 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,719 Speaker 1: him not to go to because it's also like, let's celebrate, 175 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: We're celebrating. It's supposed to be a celebration, absolutely, and 176 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 1: let's focus on this year and the Academy is really 177 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: trying to kind of you know, revamp and I think 178 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 1: make themselves look good after what went wrong last year 179 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: because it was really you know the tang off the 180 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 1: tracks period. Yeah, period period, and they really didn't do anything. 181 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: That's what he said, That's what he said, and you 182 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: kind of can't do anything. Yeah, yeah, all right. Now 183 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: Diddy is looking to get a majority stake in b 184 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: ET as Paramount is putting that network up for sale. 185 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: There's a lot of people are bidding for this though, 186 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: by the way, Tyler Perry is trying to do it 187 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: Byron Allen and more people are contending for that. So um. 188 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: And then you know he also has Revolt. It would 189 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: be nice if they did it together, right because I 190 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: feel like, then what happens with revolts?

But like they're competing with each other. They 195 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,839 Speaker 1: know it's et making a lot of money right now? 196 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: Or are they somehow endangerous that white folks trying to 197 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: buy them?

And some 235 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: people what pop Viewers is because I think it's an 236 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,199 Speaker 1: amazing concept. Yes, so it's a place for you guys 237 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: can go to discover new shows, new movies, and more importantly, 238 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: react to what you're watching. And our goal right now 239 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: is to kind of really bridge the audience sentiment with 240 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: the studios, so studios understand what people are watching, not 241 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: just how many millions of folks people are watching shows, 242 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: but why people are watching shows in various films, and 243 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: we can kind of incorporate the viewers into the content 244 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: that they see in the future. You know, it's interesting 245 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: because depending on whose Because sometimes you see stuff that 246 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: gets great reviews and you're like, who, I don't. And 247 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: then you see something that is a classic for us yea, 248 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: and it doesn't get good reviews, and you're like, who 249 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: is reviewing these movies? So it kind of gives us 250 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 1: the power to say, I like this. I was watching 251 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: The Best Man final chapters and so remember he put 252 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: they had adapted his um and this is my about 253 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: last night because I watched the whole thing at once, right, 254 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 1: and anyway, you watched the whole series. It was good. 255 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: And remember he had turned the book into a movie 256 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: and his reviews were like terrible, right, yeah, right, But 257 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: she was like, oh, it's amazing. You said what people 258 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: were like when they were in the theater watching it. 259 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: And so many times I feel like it could be 260 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,959 Speaker 1: something that doesn't get great reviews, but it's good. Who 261 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: is reviewing it? Sounds like it sounds like what you have. 262 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: It's kind of helps with the disconnect. Yeah, I feel 263 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: like so many of our content, our shows, in our 264 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: movies for black people, buy Black people, buy Latin um. 265 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: You know, Americans, our content, oftentimes critics don't know how 266 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,319 Speaker 1: to really access so you will see black content. Um, 267 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: they have low scores on Rotten Tomatoes or low score 268 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,079 Speaker 1: from critics aggregates, but at the end of the day, 269 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 1: we are still watching this. This is a class. You know. 270 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,079 Speaker 1: I was watching Lock Up to get ready for today. 271 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: I know y'all watched that so last night after I finished, Yes, yes, yes, 272 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:52,719 Speaker 1: it is so good and major.

As I'm 291 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: talking to the studios, I'm explaining to them like that 292 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: word of mouth co signed from a friend, from something 293 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: that you know and trust, is so much more powerful 294 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: than critics coming together and saying Tar or All's Quiet 295 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: on the Western Front or The Banches of Anah Sharon 296 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: are the top films of the year. It's really about 297 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: what people are watching in meeting folks where they are, 298 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: and that's what we do at pop Viewers, right all right, 299 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: well and shout out to act your age.

It's really funny. Yeah, it's great, but it 303 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: shows the power of the black and brown consumer. We 304 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: are powerful. Now. One thing I wanted to talk about 305 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: because you discussed your son earlier, is Tyler Perry, and 306 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: he was on Michelle Obama's The Light podcast and he 307 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: talked about disciplining his eight year old son. He was 308 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: discussing how the nanny was telling him to brush his teeth. 309 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: He didn't want to brush his teeth, and he kind 310 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: of was going in on the nanny and I got 311 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: down eye to eye and I was talking to him 312 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: and I said, listen to me, you are not going 313 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: to be this way. We love you, we are your parents. 314 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: You will not behave this way. We talked to you 315 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: better than this. And I'm talking to him and I'm 316 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: starting to get emotional, and he said, I'm sorry, Papa, 317 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. He brush his teeth, did all those things. 318 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: But I went out on the balcony. I was in 319 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: tears because I realized that nobody had ever got down 320 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: and talked to me eye to eye. So to have 321 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: a moment that I had a chance to have a 322 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: conversation with a child who is my spitting image. I 323 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: was not only correcting and leading him the right way, 324 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: but helping my own little boy inside of me. Healed yes, 325 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: because he talked about getting beat all the time growing up. 326 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: And I know this was something that struck a chord 327 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: with you, Chris, in particular, you have an eleven year 328 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: old son, and we're going to talk about that. Eight 329 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: hundred two nine two fifty one fifty disciplining your child, 330 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: how you were discipline growing up, and how that affects 331 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: how you parents. I want to see what you guys 332 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: think as well. Call us up eight hundred two nine 333 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: two fifty one fifty going way with Angela Yee. Yes, 334 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: it's way up with Angela Yee. And I'm here with 335 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: my girl Jasmine from the Jasmine Brand, and Chris Witherspoon's 336 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: CEO of pop Viewers, makes sure y'all download that app. 337 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: And we're talking about Tyler Perry and disciplining his eight 338 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: year old son with compassion. Now I know for you, Chris, 339 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: this really struck a chord. You have an eleven year 340 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: old yes, yes, yeah, listening to this story, I thought 341 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: it was so profound that he didn't say that he 342 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: spanked his child. You know, my son is eleven. We 343 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: have not spanked him yet. His mother, who's my good 344 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: best friend, we went half of the baby. We said 345 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: we were not going to spank our son. And now 346 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: I was spanked. I was spanked, like for any old 347 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: reason and like on a regular basis. But I think 348 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: one of the things that I kind of realized is 349 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: like when you spank a child, sometimes you take away 350 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: the abilities to have a conversation around what will he happened? 351 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: I understand what they were feeling. And I think what 352 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: Tyler Perry did as an example of what we see 353 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: so many other parents from the other side of the 354 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 1: tracks due, which is like understand why their child did 355 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: what they did, have a conversation, have a conversation, you know. 356 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: And I feel like I didn't get a chance to 357 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: do that. And in therapy right now, I do a 358 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: lot of therapy. It's not so much me being in 359 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: trauma over the spankings. It's more about like learning how 360 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: to use my voice and express what I'm feeling, and 361 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: how there wasn't always space to do that in my 362 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: home as a child, right, Yeah, because I got spanked 363 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: a lot as a child, and the time, yeah, I'd 364 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 1: be like who left the cap up to toothpaste? And 365 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: it was me and my brother, So yeah, it was 366 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,360 Speaker 1: if he got a spanking, I did, and if I did, 367 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 1: he did, so I already kneed. Yeah, if he got 368 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: in trouble, I was in trouble my dad, because it 369 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 1: used to be like when he was getting spank I 370 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,199 Speaker 1: would laugh behind my dad's back. But then I was like, oh, 371 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: I'm next. My brother spanked all the time, like together 372 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: two years apart. Oh wow, yeah, what about you spanked 373 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: a little bit, not a lot.

But yeah, okay, all right, Well 410 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 1: let's see what you guys have to say about these 411 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: spankings that Tyler Perry was talking about. He's disciplining his 412 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 1: eight year old son. He does not spank his son. 413 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 1: He talks to him and has him explain things with compassion, 414 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: something he wish he would have had the space to 415 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: do when he was growing up and he was getting 416 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: beatings all the time. Let's see who was on the line, Kwane. 417 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: What's your thoughts on disciplining your your kids or being 418 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 1: discipline growing up? Oh my god. So when I was 419 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: growing up, my mom used to whoop me for like everything, 420 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: like if I would fold my dress RN. That is like, 421 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: nobody's gonna teach you common sense. You gotta have it. 422 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: You know, if I said a curse word, I would 423 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: have to write it a hundred times. Knew what it meant, 424 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 1: was the language to dialect it came from. But she 425 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 1: whooped me for like every thing. Now I'm raising my daughter. 426 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 1: I barely spank her, probably once a year. But what 427 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 1: I noticed the difference is I have character, I have strength. 428 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: I had no common sense. My daughter lacked of no 429 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 1: serious maybe because I'm not thinking her, but I do. Also, 430 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 1: I didn't have an opinion. So now I allow my 431 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: daughter to speak. You know how you're feeling. Do you 432 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: agree with why I'm yelling at you? You know things 433 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: of that sport. Back in the day, you didn't have 434 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: a choya. You did what their parents said. And this 435 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 1: is not very long ago. Because I'm funny, san, but 436 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: my daughters twell. So my mom raised me young, but 437 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 1: she had that old fool life sharp and you think 438 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: the beatings helped you, She's saying, yeah, absolutely absolutely, So 439 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 1: why have you decided to not beat your daughter? Beat 440 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,919 Speaker 1: it strong? Because my mom did the mold okay, like 441 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 1: it was like kind of traumatic and waves.

Yes, all right, now flow 500 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: right out. As we all know, won this crazy lawsuit 501 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: after suing energy during company Celsius. He got eighty two 502 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 1: point six million dollars and now he's launching his own 503 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: energy drink is called jet Set one. He said, Celsie 504 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: is great, but at the same time, you want to 505 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: take something and make it even greater. So not only 506 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,679 Speaker 1: did he win this money, but now he's also going 507 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 1: to be coming out and doing a whole brand against Celsius, 508 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: and that is more than enough money that you need 509 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: to get a company off the ground. Like he could 510 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: take eight million with his brand and his notoriety, that 511 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: that eight million and get that that seed funding to 512 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: grow his company. And we see how much money people 513 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: can make off of beverage companies, you know. So he's 514 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: planning to launch this in the first quarter of twenty 515 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 1: twenty four, he said, coming from the success of Celsius 516 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: when they had no name and the marketing was very little, 517 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: I took that product and I took it worldwide. This 518 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 1: is a thing that we want to do with jet 519 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 1: Set one. And he was sucking an insider exclusively. Okay, 520 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 1: I want to see how I tast something. You want 521 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 1: to try it. They're saying it's healthy and it tastes 522 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: better than every energy drink on the market, and so 523 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,439 Speaker 1: on and so full natural ingredients for the gem. Look 524 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: at us already helping at Florida's also, by the way, 525 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: headlining the eighteenth annual AIDS Walk and Music Festival.

You know, he 534 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 1: DJs as Diesel Yes in the club and when I 535 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: tell you, it was Bram packed in that club. I've 536 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 1: actually seen him DJ before. He's good. It was in them. 537 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: He plays a lot of fist pumping music. I guess 538 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,399 Speaker 1: you played for whoever the audience. But I was in 539 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: the Bahamas at the Bahamar, and he happened to be 540 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: djaying there and so yeah, it was cool. So he 541 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: has a new restaurant, Big Chicken, and they had a 542 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: ribbon cutting Saturday afternoon ceremony at the new Kansas City 543 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: International Airport Terminal and Concourse B. So congratulations to him. 544 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 1: He's been doing this restaurant thing for a minute. Remember 545 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: we went to his restaurant in Lave. Yeah, my dad 546 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 1: was in Kansaity, So my dad has to check that 547 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: out right. And at the airport, you say, yeah, that's 548 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: why getting hungry at the airport. And they don't really 549 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 1: have good food there at the airport. They don't have 550 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,360 Speaker 1: good food at Cana Airport either. And in Atlanta, Ludacris 551 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: has his restaurant in the airport Chicken and Beer. Yep, 552 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: okay restaurants, yes, but I think it's kind of because 553 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: you still have to pay a lot to be in 554 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: the airport, so you got to make sure people come. 555 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 1: That's true. But there's always people in the airport. So 556 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: it wouldn't be nice if we you have some of 557 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,159 Speaker 1: that in a Delta sky lounge, like a little a 558 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,360 Speaker 1: little little little crisp chicken of beer pop up there, 559 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 1: a little shack up, you know, Okay, I feel like 560 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: it can happen, right, all right. Shack is also now 561 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 1: that's the good news. On that news, it says that 562 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: he's also been evading getting served papers for an FTX 563 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 1: related lawsuit for four weeks according to attorneys, and having 564 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: a hard time serving him. Well, he's in Kansas City, 565 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: but apparently they said he's been just evading them. There's 566 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: a lot of celebrities that are in this lawsuit, by 567 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: the way, Tom Brady stuff, Cyrie, Larry David, among others. 568 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: And that is all for being exposing people to misrepresentations 569 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 1: and omissions and things like that. So you know, it's 570 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 1: like a cryptocurrency, yeah, platform, okay, yeah, So sometimes you 571 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: agree and get the check and you don't really know 572 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 1: what you're getting into over there ducking him. Yeah, yet 573 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 1: it served all right? And um, little ouzi Vert is 574 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: addressing controversy. Some people are saying he has satanic lyrics 575 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:04,919 Speaker 1: on his new track and so here is that one line, 576 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: I make a City Girl Believe in Satan. And so 577 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: when TMZ caught up with him, here's what he had 578 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: to say, Hey, what do you mean by that lyric? 579 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: Man not actually Satan, but just basically I make a 580 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 1: girl do whatever I say something. What did? She really 581 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 1: didn't think too much of it. She was there when 582 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: she heard me make the song. She know what she knows, 583 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 1: like what I really did. So don't really about sight. No, 584 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: do you believe in stan? Um? No? He said, you 585 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,120 Speaker 1: believe in Satan. It's a crazy thing to yell out 586 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: to somebody. But what he's saying is it's so extreme, right, 587 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: I mean that's how I took it that, Like I 588 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: can make you believe in something. Yeah, so extreme. He 589 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: came from a religious background too, but he said he 590 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: just likes to say whatever he wants to say. He's 591 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: really not trying to offend anyone. So all right, Well 592 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: that you have it and that is your yet And 593 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: when we come back, it's time for under the radar. 594 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: These are stories that are not necessarily headline stories. They're 595 00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: flying under the radar, but we feel like they're important. 596 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: It's way up with Angela Yee. I got news as 597 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 1: the news that relates to you. These stories are flying 598 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 1: under the radar. Yes, it's way up with the Angela Yee. 599 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: Jasmine Brand is here with me, Happy Tuesday. Chris Witherspoon 600 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: is here at me also good afternoon check out pots. 601 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 1: Yes still depending on where you are, Yes, well, I 602 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: guess everywhere still still morning right now, all right now 603 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: under the radar. These are stories that are not necessarily 604 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: the headline stories that we're watching on the news, but 605 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: their stories that we feel like are important. And as 606 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: we're sitting here right now, our producer Dan is drinking 607 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: out of a reusable water bottle, which sounds like a 608 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: great idea, right, It's good for the environment, the ve Yeah. 609 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 1: A new study has delivered a very disturbing finding, though, 610 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: and that is that these water bottles are filthy if 611 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: you don't clean them regularly. All right, So, a new 612 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 1: recent study from US based water filter guru dot com 613 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 1: found that reusable bottles can have forty thousand times more 614 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: bacteria than the average toilet seat. Oh my gosh, it's 615 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: like a portable Petrie dish. So they swab them and 616 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: they found two types of bacteria present, and it can 617 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: cause infections, and these are increasingly resistant to antibiotics. Okay, 618 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 1: So they compare the cleanliness of the bottles to household 619 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: objects and it turns out that this has more bacteria 620 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: fourteen times more than a pet drinking bowl. Oh my goodness, 621 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: that's disgusted. That's awful. Yeah, but I love this news 622 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: because I'm the kind of person that i'm. People always 623 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: go on me for wasting water bottles because I like 624 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: to have the water bottle, open it and like have 625 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: that fresh that fresh water as opposed to the water 626 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: from that little thing. Um, So this actually helps my cause, 627 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: I mean, and the main thing is clean it. Yeah, often, 628 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: but I'm trying to find how clean you gotta get 629 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: washing it at least once a day with hot soapy water, 630 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 1: and sanitizing it at least once a week. This is 631 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: what you're supposed to do. Yeah, that's what you're supposed 632 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 1: to do. Now, they do say squeeze top bottles are 633 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: the cleanest of the three styles tested because a tenth 634 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: has a tenth of the amount of bacteria as the 635 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: ones that screw off or the ones with the straw 636 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 1: fitted lids. I wonder, I wonder how often our ep 637 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 1: dan cleans his I'm looking at him. I'm gonna guess 638 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: not that often. Okay, he mustn't speak so bad, he 639 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: mustn't speak, But we don't want him on our mics 640 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: because there's a lot of back come on what we 641 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: know in his mouth right now? Do you want to 642 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: say something how the it's a screwable one. It's the 643 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: one with the top comes clean the top like inside, 644 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: But the bottle itself, I only put water in it, 645 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: So do you really need to clean the ba But 646 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: the top where I drink from, that's what gets cleaned. 647 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 1: Now you have to clean the whole thing times more 648 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: than a pet's drinking ball, because imagine this, are you 649 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 1: putting your mouth on there. There's a little bit of 650 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: backwash going in there, and that's the same bacteria that 651 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 1: would have been on the top to Now all you're 652 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: doing is I'll replace the water, though you should definitely 653 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 1: repay you also to clean the inside. Dan, It isn't 654 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 1: that hard. If you're going to clean the top, why 655 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 1: not clean because they have those breath they brush it 656 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: just like how you clean up a baby, but save 657 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 1: your life, they have brushes for them. Okay, go ahead, 658 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 1: somebody get a swat. Does anyone drink out of about 659 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 1: water fountain anymore? No? You know, in the gym once 660 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 1: and once in a blue moon, I will take my 661 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 1: bottle and put the bottle in the water. But even 662 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 1: then I'm a little bit nervous about it. I don't 663 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: even like when people do that. Stop it things. I 664 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: don't know why I don't like that, stop it immediately. 665 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: I'm a germaphobe, though I am too. This this study 666 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 1: is changing, Chris. It doesn't sound like your germaho rely 667 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: not enough. I just don't want to black out, you 668 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 1: know what I mean. If I can't get to the 669 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 1: bottle of water fast enough, I gotta get because I 670 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 1: was wondering why do people wash their hands after they 671 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 1: go to the bathroom and not also before? I do 672 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: it both times. Yeah, you gotta do it both times, 673 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: especially at the gym. Well, I only wash mine after. 674 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 1: I don't. I'm gonna be honest. I don't wash my 675 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 1: hands before. Most people don't. Yeah, I do it after, 676 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: but not before, especially guys. You got to touch it right, No, 677 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: you you really want to make sure that you scrub it. 678 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 1: You washed before you got to My grandfather told me 679 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: that when I was a little boy. Yeah, absolutely, last, 680 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: before and after. Okay, well that is your under the radar. 681 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 1: Now when we come back, we do have the Way 682 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: Up mix at the top of the hour, Plus we 683 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: have a special guest joining us.

Good morning, afternoon, Yeah, good afternoon, wherever you are. 695 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: Chris Witherspoon is here, happy Chris say line. All right, 696 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 1: So it's time for your YE team. Now let's discuss 697 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 1: a Diplow. Diplow was recently on a podcast Help Me 698 00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 1: with her Name Emily Vadajikowski Is that's perfect, okay? Emily 699 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: Radzikowski's podcast, and he was talking about a situation he 700 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 1: had where he's gotten oral sex from a man before. 701 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 1: Here's what he had to say, Sure, before you're sure 702 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: that's happened? Yeah, and you just don't remember. I mean, like, 703 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a gay unless you're like 704 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 1: make eye contact while there's a book. That's such a 705 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 1: straight guy thing to say. But I mean, it's not 706 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: like gay. I don't know, it's you tell me all right. 707 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,439 Speaker 1: So so I don't know if it's a gay unless 708 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: if it's if you don't make eye contat unless you 709 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 1: make eye contact. So does that mean it never happened. 710 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 1: I've never heard this before, the whole eye contacting this 711 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 1: is this is this is very new to me in 712 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 1: my community. Um, I don't think it makes him gay. 713 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 1: I think it makes him something like there's all these 714 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 1: new terms now. I think it makes a small on 715 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 1: lines of fluid, made him fluid. There we go. I 716 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 1: think even by maybe, But that's very open minded him 717 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,799 Speaker 1: to come on a podcast and say all that. It's 718 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: hard because like people don't want to label themselves, don't 719 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,920 Speaker 1: They don't anymore. Sometimes you try something and then if 720 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 1: you try it one time, but it sounds like it 721 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 1: probably happened more than one time. And how far did 722 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 1: they go? That's the other part. I'm curious, Well, we 723 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 1: know one thing didn't happen. It was no eye contact, right, 724 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,360 Speaker 1: that's true. Yeah, And so I feel like eye contact 725 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,319 Speaker 1: is a connection, so maybe he say there was no connection. Yeah, 726 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: or also it means he can pretend like it didn't happen, 727 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 1: like he doesn't even really know it was a man 728 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,279 Speaker 1: down there because he wasn't physically seeing the guy. Yeah, 729 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,800 Speaker 1: because he also said that he's sure he has but 730 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 1: he's not, but he doesn't remember much. Yeah, so he's 731 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 1: maybe a little gay or a little by Can you 732 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 1: be a little gay? Yeah? I think so that's a 733 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 1: good question. Actually, I think a little by little you 734 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:45,839 Speaker 1: get you way gay all the way, game the way, game, 735 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 1: all the way up, all the way. But Angela, all right, 736 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 1: but that's fine, So maybe a little bit. So I'm 737 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,759 Speaker 1: probably him for saying that, though I'm really probably saying 738 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,160 Speaker 1: that's a very hard thing to say, you know, with 739 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 1: the policy of a white man. So I feel like 740 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: for a black man it probably even harder to say. 741 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,399 Speaker 1: If you know a black man is he's also very 742 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 1: in this space of like Caribbean, like a lot of 743 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 1: his music Major Laser. Yeah, you know, but I think 744 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 1: you're right. I think that being able to experiment with 745 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 1: your sexuality it is a privilege, and white people are 746 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 1: more privileged to feel that they can kind of color 747 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 1: outside the line sometimes women and man, you see so 748 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 1: many white girls and fraternities like sororities, you know, and 749 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 1: women have their freedom to experiment a lot more than 750 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,239 Speaker 1: men do. We do. That's the point you were making. 751 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,399 Speaker 1: You were saying that when women do it, we don't. 752 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 1: Really it's not so much of a big deal. It's 753 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,440 Speaker 1: kind of like it was college. Yea. All right. Now, 754 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 1: let's talk about the nest. Two times he was on 755 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,400 Speaker 1: Lift Service and that episode is actually out today, and 756 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,919 Speaker 1: one of the things that he discussed is his relationship. 757 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,760 Speaker 1: Now he actually has three girlfriends, maybe two, but three. Okay, 758 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,719 Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna league at me, like I like, 759 00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 1: I gotta have more than one woman. But they know 760 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 1: about each other. Yeah, guy, no stay together? Oh how 761 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:08,360 Speaker 1: many women? Oh so that's three times? Okay, they get along. 762 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 1: They counted their friends, I mean, is count on you 763 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:20,320 Speaker 1: got there? Do you have a favorite? The first wife? 764 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,640 Speaker 1: It was a lot of suying. Yeah he was, but 765 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,839 Speaker 1: he does get very in depth with it. Yeah, from 766 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 1: the women from the why one of them was actually there, 767 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,399 Speaker 1: but she didn't she wasn't in an interview though. Yeah. 768 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 1: She was definitely making sure that he said the right thing. Okay, 769 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,719 Speaker 1: she would stand up. Yeah. And then another thing he 770 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,320 Speaker 1: talked about. So if you guys remember, this went viral 771 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 1: and people were actually going in on him because he 772 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,680 Speaker 1: gifted his friend who they said took his charges. Right, 773 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:51,560 Speaker 1: that was the post. Uh. He gave him five thousand dollars. 774 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 1: And some people were like, yo, this man took charges 775 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 1: for you and did time for you and all you 776 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,520 Speaker 1: did was give him five thousand dollars. Here's what he 777 00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 1: had to say about that. I didn't say that he 778 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 1: took a charge for me. And when d ten eleven 779 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,760 Speaker 1: years from me, I see that he did teen years. 780 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,920 Speaker 1: And while we was inconclrated, I mean him, he were 781 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 1: silly and when they kicked the dough win, I had 782 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 1: some illegal in the sea and he took the charge 783 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 1: from jail. You see what I'm saying. So there was 784 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,279 Speaker 1: a sign lord to for me, all right, So he 785 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 1: got extra sixty days.

That is, she's a trailblazer, 818 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,960 Speaker 1: the first black woman to have her own primetime cable 819 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,759 Speaker 1: news show Number one to read out say that, but 820 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 1: also as a friend and as a former boss of 821 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:12,640 Speaker 1: mine at the Careo where I worked for many years 822 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,000 Speaker 1: entertainment editor over there, she is the person that got 823 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 1: me on camera. No One. Initially, I think will they 824 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,279 Speaker 1: saw me in that light? Until Joy said, Okay, I'm 825 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,000 Speaker 1: your managing editor. I want you to begin doing entertainment 826 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,560 Speaker 1: segments for the Today's Show for MSNBC, and I'm gonna 827 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,960 Speaker 1: fight for you to do so. So She's not just talent, 828 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:29,719 Speaker 1: She's not just a star warsh, She's someone who's a 829 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,239 Speaker 1: star maker and I slew her today for that. She's 830 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 1: also from New York. Yeah, she went to Harvard. Come 831 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:39,200 Speaker 1: on Harvard, and and she is a sad because her 832 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,560 Speaker 1: birthday is December eighth. Okay, yeah. It's also an author 833 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 1: see so many things. Yeah, she had she had a 834 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,160 Speaker 1: career in radio before she came to MSNBC, so she 835 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,239 Speaker 1: knows all of this world too. Yeah. What I love 836 00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,000 Speaker 1: about Joyanne Read is she just keeps it funky all 837 00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 1: the time, says what she thinks. Because I've seen her 838 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:59,280 Speaker 1: getting attacked, yes, you know, for her opinion or saying something, 839 00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,919 Speaker 1: and people get mad, and that's not an easy space 840 00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 1: to be in. Politics is worse than I feel like anything. 841 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 1: They be savage. The things that she gets on Twitter 842 00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,719 Speaker 1: and social media in general from people on the right, 843 00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:14,799 Speaker 1: sometimes I'm like, oh, we're security, Yeah exactly. Not for nothing. 844 00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,200 Speaker 1: She wrote a book in twenty nineteen, The Man Who 845 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,560 Speaker 1: Sold America Trump in The Unraveling American Story, No Wonder, 846 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,239 Speaker 1: No Wonder, she goes back. She's about politics all right, 847 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,680 Speaker 1: and the person that I wanted to celebrate today is 848 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,600 Speaker 1: Phyllis Johnson. Now y'all know, I have a coffee company. 849 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 1: It's called Coffee Uplifts People. And Phillis Johnson has been 850 00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:36,160 Speaker 1: an invaluable asset to US seas an entrepreneur and author 851 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,280 Speaker 1: and activist. But she also has her own importing company 852 00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,520 Speaker 1: called Beat Imports that she founded back in nineteen ninety nine. 853 00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,320 Speaker 1: So she's been working here in this space for a 854 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,080 Speaker 1: long time. And in twenty twenty she founded the Coffee 855 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,440 Speaker 1: Coalition for Racial Equity. And there's a lot of racial 856 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,040 Speaker 1: injustice and unrest going on around us, but in the 857 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,160 Speaker 1: coffee business, it's really tough. If you think about where 858 00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 1: coffee beans come from, it's all black and brown places. 859 00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,120 Speaker 1: It's a large percentage of women men who are farmers. 860 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:06,400 Speaker 1: But we're talking about ownership, we're talking about opportunity finances. 861 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,080 Speaker 1: A lot of times people aren't getting paid properly. That's 862 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,320 Speaker 1: why when you see fair trade on coffee, that's to 863 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,160 Speaker 1: make sure that people aren't getting pennies on the dollar 864 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,080 Speaker 1: who are working in these farms and working behind the scenes. 865 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,480 Speaker 1: And so with her company be the Imports. Again, I 866 00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:21,879 Speaker 1: told you she's had this since nineteen ninety nine. It's 867 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,560 Speaker 1: been a pathway for new discoveries and enlightenment, she says, 868 00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:26,800 Speaker 1: not just for herself and her family, but for others. 869 00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,760 Speaker 1: It's the first company often to engage with women coffee 870 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 1: entrepreneurs and producers in various countries, or to inspire entrepreneurs 871 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,680 Speaker 1: in our own country. So she said, sometimes the best 872 00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,880 Speaker 1: thing that one can be, it's a good representation or 873 00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:41,799 Speaker 1: inspiration for others. As a black woman and the Green 874 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,200 Speaker 1: coffee trade, I stood out and been noticed by others 875 00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,880 Speaker 1: who also stood out in their own way. Come on, 876 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:53,600 Speaker 1: feels I love. It's a rural I can't say rural, rural, 877 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:59,560 Speaker 1: rural Arkansas. Struggling someone and I was going to college. 878 00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,040 Speaker 1: If you don't see the example, be the example exactly 879 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,239 Speaker 1: like that is what Phillis is doing. She is being 880 00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,560 Speaker 1: then example, and she's somebody I actually personally have gone to. 881 00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:11,480 Speaker 1: Oh really yeah, just for that, also for her knowledge. 882 00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,239 Speaker 1: We've been working with her now as an importer. So 883 00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,319 Speaker 1: we've actually wanted to make sure with Coffee uplifts people 884 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,120 Speaker 1: we have a black woman who's a roaster, and then 885 00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,320 Speaker 1: we have Phillis who's our importer. I wouldn't watch a 886 00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,719 Speaker 1: documentary about her, like I feel like watching the life 887 00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,279 Speaker 1: of the beans and like also the women you talked about, 888 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,560 Speaker 1: who are you know oftentimes to pharm owners, would I 889 00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:32,080 Speaker 1: would netflix and chill the coffee out of that the 890 00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,879 Speaker 1: core fee? Yeah, yeah, I'm reading about her now. She's dope. Yeah, 891 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:36,680 Speaker 1: because a lot of times we talk about equity, we 892 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,640 Speaker 1: talk about inclusion, and so she is the example because 893 00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,120 Speaker 1: you know how the coffee industry can be even here. 894 00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,120 Speaker 1: I feel like in the United States they really market 895 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,880 Speaker 1: to middle age white men yep. And so for somebody 896 00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,160 Speaker 1: like Phyllis Johnson to try to level out the playing 897 00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,160 Speaker 1: field and also make sure that things are more equitable 898 00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:55,239 Speaker 1: and have more access, I think that's important. So we're 899 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:58,200 Speaker 1: all trying to take these tangible steps to help improve 900 00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,399 Speaker 1: racial equality. When it comes to coffee, it's a huge 901 00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:03,479 Speaker 1: Where can you find the fair trade thing you mentioned? 902 00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,680 Speaker 1: When you look at coffee, you can see if there's 903 00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:09,360 Speaker 1: a fair trade stamp on there. I learned about that 904 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,080 Speaker 1: with you. All right, Well that is our women's history. Man. 905 00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,800 Speaker 1: Shout out to Phyllis Johnson and be the imports. And 906 00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:18,680 Speaker 1: when we come back, we have another entrepreneur Stratus more Fogan. 907 00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,839 Speaker 1: You guys are gonna love history. He is definitely MOB 908 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,680 Speaker 1: affiliated and he has no problem talking about it. But 909 00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:26,920 Speaker 1: he's also a restaurant or. The restaurant business is a 910 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,440 Speaker 1: tough one, and so he talks about being a disruptor 911 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,640 Speaker 1: in his space.

Okay, she's 936 00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:48,640 Speaker 1: from the DR and I never met anybody from the DR, 937 00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,440 Speaker 1: from a small town in Ohio, and jokingly, within knowing 938 00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,520 Speaker 1: her from one week, she said, you know, um, I 939 00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:56,320 Speaker 1: always thought I thought about having a kid, but I 940 00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,080 Speaker 1: never knew how I was going to do it. And 941 00:45:58,120 --> 00:45:59,839 Speaker 1: I feel like you'd be an amazing father, which could 942 00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:01,839 Speaker 1: be down they have to kill me.

But we all 1007 00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:05,480 Speaker 1: know Stratus, I think in general despot being one of 1008 00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:08,080 Speaker 1: the owners of Brooklyn chop House. But what people may 1009 00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:10,120 Speaker 1: not have known is that he also was one of 1010 00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:14,880 Speaker 1: the owners of Philip's. Okay, so we got to get 1011 00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,319 Speaker 1: into some of these lessons from this book because you've 1012 00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:20,440 Speaker 1: been in the restaurant business since you were sixty years old. Now, 1013 00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:22,319 Speaker 1: one of the things that you learned from an early 1014 00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:26,239 Speaker 1: age is discretion. Discretion is really important when it comes 1015 00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,480 Speaker 1: to owning a restaurant and being in that business. So 1016 00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:30,600 Speaker 1: you learned that in an early age. Explain that because 1017 00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:33,560 Speaker 1: this is actually a mob story that you guys would 1018 00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:35,320 Speaker 1: love to hear. Yeah. So my dad had the Chelsea 1019 00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,440 Speaker 1: Chop House. One of them was in Howard Beach and 1020 00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:39,560 Speaker 1: about six seven years old, I was at Buzzport and 1021 00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:41,640 Speaker 1: the first lesson of discretion I had was what there 1022 00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:44,040 Speaker 1: was a little diminutive guy used to come in with 1023 00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:46,560 Speaker 1: a lot of big guys around him, and they used 1024 00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:49,239 Speaker 1: to go very discreet. My father would like, drop what 1025 00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:51,239 Speaker 1: he was doing, you know. I was like, Wow, who 1026 00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:53,880 Speaker 1: is this guy that my father looks at with such reverence, 1027 00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:55,759 Speaker 1: you know? And then he would go sit him down. 1028 00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:57,279 Speaker 1: Then I hear him tell the manager skid us to 1029 00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:00,360 Speaker 1: Cambi in his true and it was Carlo Gambino, you know, 1030 00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:04,160 Speaker 1: the boss of the Gambino family. And you know, so 1031 00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:06,479 Speaker 1: here's a little short bus boy who's really not shy. 1032 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,960 Speaker 1: You know, I'm walking up to his table, and you know, 1033 00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:12,400 Speaker 1: I start pouring water and I say hi, mister Gambino, 1034 00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:15,480 Speaker 1: and no one says yeah, you could hear a pin drop, 1035 00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,040 Speaker 1: and you know, I felt so weird, like what did 1036 00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:19,560 Speaker 1: I do wrong with just being nice? That's what my 1037 00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:23,399 Speaker 1: because my father actually calls him sir. So after after 1038 00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:25,040 Speaker 1: he puts me down on his knee and he talks 1039 00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,600 Speaker 1: to he goes, hey, how school like like like a grandfather, 1040 00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,080 Speaker 1: and he slips a twenty dollar bill in my in 1041 00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:32,239 Speaker 1: my pocket. He just says, next time high is enough. 1042 00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,800 Speaker 1: And I'm like, all right, all right, I have no 1043 00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:36,760 Speaker 1: idea what I did, but I'll keep taking the twenties 1044 00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,799 Speaker 1: and I'll just say hi and then um. So as 1045 00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:41,960 Speaker 1: I can see my father peeking around the table, going, 1046 00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,640 Speaker 1: oh my god, Stratus is sitting with the gangsters, you know, 1047 00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:48,080 Speaker 1: and I've been there for like ten minutes. And so 1048 00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:50,000 Speaker 1: as I get up, my father goes to come here, 1049 00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:51,960 Speaker 1: what was that about? I said, Dad, I don't know 1050 00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,480 Speaker 1: what I did. I just said hi, mister Gambino. O God, 1051 00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:56,720 Speaker 1: this guy goes so far out of his way it'd 1052 00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,600 Speaker 1: be discreet, and here comes a six year old chubby 1053 00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:03,680 Speaker 1: bus It knows exactly who you are. And I saw 1054 00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:05,800 Speaker 1: when I left the table, they all started laughing like 1055 00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:07,919 Speaker 1: it was so innocently done. But it was very funny. 1056 00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,040 Speaker 1: There's a lot of lessons to learn there, because you know, 1057 00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,600 Speaker 1: like I do say in my book Fast Forward, you know, 1058 00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:15,680 Speaker 1: two thousand and six is two lessons I learned. I 1059 00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:19,440 Speaker 1: just opened Felipe Chao on my honeymoon a mechanos, and 1060 00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,120 Speaker 1: I get a call for I think there was like 1061 00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,520 Speaker 1: the Inquirer or something. They said, we're offering you a 1062 00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:27,880 Speaker 1: million dollars for the tape. And I said, what tape 1063 00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:30,799 Speaker 1: and they're like, there's a tape, you know, and they 1064 00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:32,279 Speaker 1: mentioned their names, so I'm not going to make you. 1065 00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:36,600 Speaker 1: And they were having sex in your restaurant. So so 1066 00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:40,360 Speaker 1: I'm like, so I called my managers right away and 1067 00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:44,320 Speaker 1: I'm like, what happened? So a hip hop mogul and 1068 00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,480 Speaker 1: a Hollywood starlett were having sex in one of the 1069 00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,480 Speaker 1: private rooms, I felieve, and they've noticed that we had 1070 00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,880 Speaker 1: security cameras, and I said to the manager, can on 1071 00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:56,239 Speaker 1: the security cameras and tell me what you see. So, 1072 00:51:56,400 --> 00:52:02,440 Speaker 1: oh fucking I can't love this serious, I can't. Yeah, 1073 00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:05,279 Speaker 1: He's like, yes, so and so reserve the whole room 1074 00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:07,640 Speaker 1: last night to have a private dinner. And I'm like, 1075 00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:10,080 Speaker 1: give me a favor before I even get an inch 1076 00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:13,239 Speaker 1: of temptation deleted off the server, right, get rid of it. 1077 00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:15,560 Speaker 1: That's not how I do business. Yeah, because if you 1078 00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:17,960 Speaker 1: would have leaked that out, that's something that could destroy 1079 00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:21,120 Speaker 1: your business. And that's not the way I've become successful. 1080 00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:23,800 Speaker 1: Right now, we're talking to Stratus more Fogan. He's the 1081 00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:25,960 Speaker 1: author of Being a Disruptor, but also the guy who 1082 00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:29,040 Speaker 1: started Philip's, that amazing restaurant and now has one of 1083 00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:32,160 Speaker 1: my favorites, Brooklyn tap House. Now another thing, because this 1084 00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:35,920 Speaker 1: is streetwise lessons from entrepreneurs from the Mob to the mandates. Right, 1085 00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,880 Speaker 1: this book that you have about being a disruptor, you 1086 00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:42,319 Speaker 1: also talk about your relationship with so many people from 1087 00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:45,040 Speaker 1: the Mob were coming to your restaurants and how some 1088 00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:49,200 Speaker 1: of them actually might be more stand up than people 1089 00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:52,160 Speaker 1: who work day and for the government or in politics. Yeah. 1090 00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:55,360 Speaker 1: So um in nineteen ninety three this right, so now 1091 00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:56,880 Speaker 1: I know most of them Mob because they're run the 1092 00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:00,200 Speaker 1: Faulton Fish Market and they're like extended family to I mean, 1093 00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,200 Speaker 1: I never looked at them as like there were criminals. 1094 00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:04,279 Speaker 1: So here I go. I opened up my restaurant in 1095 00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:08,120 Speaker 1: ninety three called Gotham Diner, and at that time I 1096 00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:10,440 Speaker 1: became very close with like Ralph Coppola, who was the 1097 00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:13,239 Speaker 1: underbass of the Genevc family. And these guys were friends 1098 00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:15,759 Speaker 1: of mine, Bucky Carbone, and they were just customers and 1099 00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:18,480 Speaker 1: they paid their bill. They did ever make you pay them. 1100 00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:20,800 Speaker 1: You said, nothing like that. Like it. They were my 1101 00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:24,360 Speaker 1: friends and there was always like a mutual respect. So 1102 00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:27,560 Speaker 1: in ninety three ninety four it became like the hottest place. 1103 00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:30,360 Speaker 1: And then at the time I opened Rouge Nightclub, So 1104 00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:32,360 Speaker 1: that's what he turned away. By the way, Madonna and 1105 00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:39,600 Speaker 1: two path, we need your death story after Okay, So 1106 00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:43,080 Speaker 1: getting back to my book. My book is a story 1107 00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:46,040 Speaker 1: of inspiration and the journey of an entrepreneur. But it's 1108 00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:48,560 Speaker 1: not the typical book that you would read where it's 1109 00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:52,800 Speaker 1: all based on analytics. It's basically like and this is 1110 00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:55,279 Speaker 1: what I did to fix it, So all my analytics 1111 00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:58,359 Speaker 1: is supported by true life story. Yeah, and that's why 1112 00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,239 Speaker 1: it's hit a nerve with a lot of people because 1113 00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,600 Speaker 1: I actually beat myself up in the book quite a 1114 00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:05,280 Speaker 1: bit because I want people to learn from my mistakes 1115 00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:07,600 Speaker 1: and how I handled it. Well, let me go back 1116 00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:09,800 Speaker 1: a little bit. So when I opened up Gotham Diner 1117 00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,239 Speaker 1: to answer the question regarding how I got involved with 1118 00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:19,680 Speaker 1: over organized caring, like, yeah, so what happened was is 1119 00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:21,840 Speaker 1: so I became friends with the heads of the Genet 1120 00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,480 Speaker 1: DC family and there were my friends, but simultaneous that 1121 00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:28,319 Speaker 1: I had John Gotti Junior beating up my managers, his crew, 1122 00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:30,560 Speaker 1: and then they finally came to see me. They wanted 1123 00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:32,719 Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars a month or they were going to 1124 00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:36,080 Speaker 1: break all my windows. So I told him every night 1125 00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:38,680 Speaker 1: they're throwing black paint all over my windows, and every 1126 00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:40,600 Speaker 1: night I would clean. Every morning I would clean it up. 1127 00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:42,960 Speaker 1: So Ralph Copel and those guys saw me one day 1128 00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:46,160 Speaker 1: clean that what is this?

I 1305 01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:03,800 Speaker 1: hus been talking to someone, taking it very slow. Fernally 1306 01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:07,760 Speaker 1: got physical, but the physical part of it just is 1307 01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:12,440 Speaker 1: breach with our third would total gentleman and everything. He 1308 01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:15,480 Speaker 1: had great states, we have great tim spending together. But 1309 01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:20,040 Speaker 1: I can't feel anything. There's nothing you could really do 1310 01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:23,960 Speaker 1: about the size. Does he do other things that pleasure you? 1311 01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:27,120 Speaker 1: So yes, I was able to say, you know, horrible, yes, 1312 01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:29,720 Speaker 1: But after that, you know, once you excited, you want 1313 01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:32,640 Speaker 1: to go full in. Yeah, girl, we know. So it's 1314 01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:34,960 Speaker 1: like once I get there, I don't know what to do, 1315 01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:38,360 Speaker 1: and I didn't have multiple conversations. But he's so sweet. 1316 01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:40,840 Speaker 1: He's just like, well, let's try something else to work 1317 01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:42,680 Speaker 1: on the Let's try to work on it. At least 1318 01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:46,960 Speaker 1: she talked to him, right, Yea, I love to just 1319 01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:50,320 Speaker 1: communicate with whoever I'm with, but I feel like I'm 1320 01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:53,200 Speaker 1: kind of like messing up his ego a little bit. Yeah, 1321 01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:55,560 Speaker 1: I'm sure because it's something that he can't really help. 1322 01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:58,160 Speaker 1: Everything else that he can do, you know, like you said, 1323 01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:00,840 Speaker 1: he's great at but that's one thing. He was born 1324 01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:06,520 Speaker 1: this particular way and unfortunately, sexually, it's not compatible with you. 1325 01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:10,800 Speaker 1: So do you feel like could you see yourself being 1326 01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:14,640 Speaker 1: with him in a permanent relationship? So in my mind, 1327 01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:17,000 Speaker 1: I don't do date today. I'd let them know before 1328 01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:19,320 Speaker 1: he is. You know, I'm looking for in the future, 1329 01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:22,320 Speaker 1: something serious. I'm not any moon to like play game. 1330 01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:26,200 Speaker 1: So now I think like more so towards the future. So, say, 1331 01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:28,320 Speaker 1: when a couple of years it's trying to have kids, 1332 01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:30,600 Speaker 1: how am I going to be comfortable with having the 1333 01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:33,439 Speaker 1: kids if I can't feel it? And then my therapist said, 1334 01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:36,400 Speaker 1: maybe I'll grow into it. But I never experienced just 1335 01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:39,440 Speaker 1: growing into it. I just feel like you can't force it. 1336 01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:42,440 Speaker 1: And if it's not there and something's missing that's important 1337 01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:44,880 Speaker 1: to you. If it didn't matter to you that much, 1338 01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:47,360 Speaker 1: I would say work with it. If you were like, 1339 01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:49,280 Speaker 1: you know, I can deal with it. It's fine. He 1340 01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:52,920 Speaker 1: still pleases me. But it feels like you're not okay 1341 01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:55,160 Speaker 1: and you don't want to settle for something that you're 1342 01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:57,360 Speaker 1: not okay with, and we're not here to try to 1343 01:04:57,360 --> 01:04:59,520 Speaker 1: convict you. And I get it, like maybe you feel guilty. 1344 01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:02,080 Speaker 1: Maybe you damn everything else is so great. I'm so 1345 01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:04,960 Speaker 1: very guilty because I'm just like you know how us 1346 01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:07,360 Speaker 1: as woman will pray for things in a relationship, and 1347 01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:10,080 Speaker 1: when it comes and it's just one thing that's not missing, 1348 01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:13,040 Speaker 1: is it right to just leave them alone? Or is 1349 01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:15,600 Speaker 1: it okay to worry about your your self happiness and 1350 01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:18,800 Speaker 1: what you want? And your self happiness is number one 1351 01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:21,080 Speaker 1: right now? Let me just say that, And every life, 1352 01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:23,720 Speaker 1: it's not about trying to make the other person happy. 1353 01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:25,480 Speaker 1: If you're not happy, how you're gonna make the other 1354 01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:27,560 Speaker 1: person happy next time in your prayer? You gotta you 1355 01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:33,400 Speaker 1: gotta be more specific too. Yeah, Lord, let him feel me. Yeah, 1356 01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:37,240 Speaker 1: if I if I stop talking to him for this reason, 1357 01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:40,720 Speaker 1: then it's my law. That's what he's saying. I mean, right, 1358 01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:43,960 Speaker 1: you know it is your loss because somebody else will 1359 01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:45,680 Speaker 1: be fine with that and be okay with it, and 1360 01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:48,520 Speaker 1: you're just not. And you can never and I had 1361 01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:50,760 Speaker 1: to learn this myself. You can never force yourself to 1362 01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:53,560 Speaker 1: be okay with something that you're not okay with. Everybody 1363 01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:55,680 Speaker 1: else might be like, girl, are you crazy? Oh, it's not, 1364 01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:58,680 Speaker 1: but you know how you feel, and clearly you feel. 1365 01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:01,560 Speaker 1: You feel this so much that you're like, this ain't 1366 01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:03,560 Speaker 1: gonna work.
