39
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: I have this segment called Mastery of Comedy. And I

40
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: actually did this segment based off of an idea that

41
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: I had in the midst in the height of the pandemic.

42
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: I filmed a Facebook series from Magic Lemonade. It was

43
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: called Mastery of Comedy. I'm a huge fan of comedy,

44
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: and so I paired up some more veteran comics with

45
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: some younger up and coming ones and so we had

46
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: Roywood Jr. Carlos Miller from eight five South Shows down

47
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: Now Rollings, and Ida Rodriguez and so we did that

48
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: on Facebook. But I'm bringing that here where we're actually

49
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: gonna highlight a comedian every week because I love comedy

50
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: so much. Comedy that makes sense, and so Ray de

51
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: Jean actually owns a comedy club in Brooklyn. Now he

52
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: just opened it, but he's very well known for being

53
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: one of the hosts on Video Music Box as well

54
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: as being a stand up comic that travels the world.

55
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: And so he is gonna be joining us today for

56
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: a Mastery of Comedy. But we're gonna shot to show

178
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: let's talk about Kevin Durant. Y'all know I'm a big

179
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets fan. I'm actually an ambassador for the Brooklyn

180
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: Nets full disclosure. And so Kevin Durant is leaving, He's

181
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: going to the Phoenix Suns. He has been traded. And

182
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: here's what Kyrie Irving had to say. Um, you know,

183
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: Kyrie left to go to Dallas, and actually I was

184
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: watching him play last night. But here is what he

185
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: had to say about Kevin Durant getting traded. I'm just

186
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: praying for his happiness. We had a lot of conversations

187
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: throughout the year of you know what our futures were

188
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 1: gonna look like. There was still a lovel on uncertainty,

189
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: but we just cared about seeing each other be places

190
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: at we can thrive. I just I'm glad he got

191
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: out of there. Okay, well, there you have it, and

192
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: Russell Westberg got traded to by the Way to the

193
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 1: Utah Jazz and they acquired D'Angelo Russell and a three team,

194
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: eight player trade. So a lot going on in basketball,

195
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: but the big news was obviously k d. Everybody kept

196
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: saying that he was you know, they were watching to

197
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: see if he was gonna leave, if what was gonna happen,

198
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: because he's been wanting to get traded. So did you

199
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: think he was gonna stay another year? No, okay, if

200
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: you asked me, I did not think so. But you

201
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: never know what could happen, because you know, he was

202
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: trying to get traded before and then he decided to stay.

203
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: And but now that Kyrie left, it looked like that

204
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna happen. All right. Billboard has named Billboard and

205
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: Vibe have named the top ten greatest rappers of all time.

206
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: They've been rolling out their list of the top fifty

207
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: greatest rappers and now they have revealed that list um

208
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: the top ten. So one woman made the list, Nicki

209
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: Minaj at number ten. At number ten, I knew she

210
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: had to be in the top ten to put it higher.

211
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: I would have, yeah, I would have. I would have two.

212
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 1: Number nine was Snoop Dogg. Number eight is Drake. You

213
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 1: know Drake was gonna be on that list too. Number

214
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: seven little Wayne, so they put Wayne above Drake. Okay,

215
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: Number six the notorious b I G. Number five Marshall

216
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: Mathers Slim Shady, Number four Tupacs Corps. Number three is NAS.

217
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: Number two is Kendrick Lamar, and number one was jay Z.

218
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: I have an issue with number two with Ken. Yeah,

219
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: I don't think he should be number two because I

220
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: think he should be a little further down. But why

221
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: tell us why? Well, I'm just I just don't think

222
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: his impact is Look where he looks. He's numbered He's

223
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 1: under jay Z. I don't I think Drake should be

224
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: up there a little further either gets because of the

225
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: amount of content or do you think it's just your

226
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, these are all always opinion

227
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: opinion based, but I also feel like Kendrick puts out

228
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: really great quality content, so it's not like he's he

229
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: drops a lot, but it's very impactful when he does.

230
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: It's not enough to me though, for him to be

231
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: a number two. He's right under jay Z, He's above Na,

232
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: he's above Naz, he's above Biggie, he's above Drake. We're

233
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: talking about content. How do you feel about this list?

234
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: And um, I think that when it comes to Kendrick Lamar,

235
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: I feel like he's a different type of artists. He's

236
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: I think a lot of times people are focused on

237
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: artists dropping content NonStop, but the truth is that if

238
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: you can put out great quality and that's how it

239
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: used to be, I feel like and now it feels

240
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: like people are always like because you can constantly have

241
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: access to put music out, So a lot of artists

242
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 1: do that, but Kendrick doesn't, So I also feel like

243
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: it's unique in that aspect. And then I also feel

244
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: like he's very creative with his concepts and ideas, so

245
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: I can understand why he would be really high. But

246
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: I can also understand your argument of you may feel

247
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: like he doesn't have enough catalog. My question is how

248
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: do you feel about the list? Not Kim, how do

249
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: you feel about this list? I want to put Nicki

250
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: Minaj up higher definitely. I feel like in the conversation

251
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: of top the greatest rappers of all time is always

252
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: jay z is always up there. I feel like everybody

253
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: on here are the are the people that everyone always puts.

254
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: I will say I love Snoop Dogg. I don't feel

255
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: like they always put him in the top ten. Okay, okay,

256
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: you know, so do you think one other woman should

257
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: have been up in here? In this conversation? You think

258
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 1: this is definitely Nicki Manah should have been here. Who

259
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: do you feel like Little Kim? Um? Okay, it's gonna

260
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: put Little Kim in the in the time. I don't know.

261
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: I feel like it's a discussion. Let me see what

262
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: Little Kim is on this list, because she's on here.

263
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: Yeah she's uh. I mean Missy Elliott was number nineteen

264
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: on the list. Little Kim's thirty one. Okay, I mean

265
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: she's definitely in the top fifty. So I will say

266
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: Lauren Hill is number thirty, you know, and then listen

267
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 1: these always yeah, always subjective. Okay, alright, alright, well there

268
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 1: you have it. When we come back, we are gonna

269
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 1: do about last night, and that's the part of the

270
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: show where we talk about things that we did last

271
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: night and we have a conversation about it and you guys,

272
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: uh like, we talked about the Joe Biden and we

273
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 1: talked about his State of the Union address. So about

274
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,599
Speaker 1: last night on Way Up with Angela ge when we

275
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: come back, angel Desinely, I didn't tip you enough. I

276
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: gotta send some more money because here's the other thing, right,

277
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: if you're buying here. So I supplied the hair. Okay,

278
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: so you supply the hair because sometimes when you get

279
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: your hair done, they buy the hair for you and

280
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: then they add that in the price. She but she

281
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: did bring her own stuff. She have, She added some stuff,

282
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: She added some hair, her own hair too. She died

283
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: like she did a whole bunch of stuff. She did.

284
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: She she did there for hours. So Destinely, I'll use

285
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: some money. So okay, so we're saying for hair and nails, Yeah, nails, okay,

286
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: tip for that, Okay, Okay, what about I came in

287
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: from Laguardi yesterday. Uber, what am I supposed to tip?

288
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: My Uber? I do tip on, but I also know

289
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: that they're very dependent on those tips because they don't

290
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: get paid like they should and gas is high, and

291
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: especially if you have a very pleasant experience, you know,

292
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: if they have candies in the car, if they let

293
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: you use the charge you you know, if they have

294
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: a little water, some of them go above and beyond. Yeah,

295
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: and so I do feel like that is a service

296
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: that they don't get paid the way that they should.

297
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: So well, I think that's and I think you could

298
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: do eighteen some people do. And then I'm like, okay,

299
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: what about food? Is there anything that you do not

300
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: tip on? Um? Let me see. It might be something

301
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: that's like a recurring thing, like if you have something

302
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: that you do every single day, maybe every day. You're

303
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: not like, okay, what about food delivery? Food delivery? Now,

304
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: I'm a this is what I told you about food delivery,

305
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: and I disagree. Go ahead, Okay. So the other day

306
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: I ordered from this very expensive restaurant because I felt

307
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: like treating myself. I love that restaurant. Yeah, and so

308
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: it's Mediterranean food and the bill was honestly, like ninety

309
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: dollars now to me, and then the restaurant's only a

310
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: couple of blocks away. So to me, I was like,

311
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm a on this. So I

312
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: just gave ten dollars because it was one one meal.

313
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: But if you tip in twenty on everything else, why

314
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: are they getting the short end of the stick? Well,

315
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: because sometimes I also might order from a Chick fil

316
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: A and the bill might be twenty dollars. I'm not

317
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: gonna only give you four dollars, okay, So for that

318
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: delivery person, they still will get ten dollars. So in general,

319
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: like I think for food delivery, I always give unless

320
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: they're coming from really far away, or it's raining or

321
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: something like that, or I get a whole lot of

322
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: stuff because I'm feeding a bunch of people. Then in

323
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: general I just give ten dollars. And then when you

324
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: are staying at a hotel and the people that clean

325
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: your room, how do you determine what you're going to

326
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: leave them? I think you just um, it depends on

327
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: how many days you say to the problem I have

328
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: with leaving a tip for people who clean your room

329
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: if you're there for more than one day. You don't

330
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: know who's getting it. Do they split it? I don't

331
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: know how that works. So I do every every day.

332
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: I leave a tip every day. I don't wait to know.

333
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: Some people wait till the end, but I do every

334
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: day because I feel like whoever started me on Monday,

335
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: maybe by Thursday they're not here anymore. Okay, it's just tough, man.

336
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: We gotta tip for everything. It's expensive, yeah, especially don't

337
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: go out the country and go stay at a resort.

338
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 1: You gotta tip everybody. You gotta tip the people who

339
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 1: take your bags right now, when you know, when you

340
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: pull up to a hotel and then they come and

341
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: they grab your bags and you're like, man, I guess

342
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 1: I gotta tip them now. I know we're always trying

343
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: to make sure we have enough cash when we travel.

344
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: And then it's like, I don't know. Now you can

345
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: sell people like do you have a zell or a

346
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: cash apt that I can send you a tip? Yeah,

347
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 1: it's it's a whole house is expensive, well, to to

348
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: live is expensive. To leave the house and do anything

349
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: is expensive. But then you feel bad if you don't

350
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:44,719
Speaker 1: have it, Like it's the worst when you don't have

351
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: cash on you and you're like, I wanted to give

352
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: you something, but you know, so, I just want to

353
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: see what you guys think when it comes to tipping.

354
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: We need some of this tipping etiquette because there's some

355
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 1: people don't leave tips at hotels. I don't always leave

356
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: a tip at the hotel. Yeah, I do. So every

357
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: single time you stay at the hotel, you leave it

358
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: for the cleaning, for the cleaning people. Every single time

359
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: I leave something on my bed everything at a minimum,

360
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: I leave like ten dollars every day I leave something

361
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: on that because I feel like that's a lot of work, y'll,

362
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 1: and I feel like people don't leave it, and that's

363
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: that's just back. You know it's crazy too. I clean

364
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: my room all the time at hotel. You clean your

365
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: house before your house. I do, alright, a number. I

366
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: try to make sure they don't have too much work

367
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: to do. Call this up and let us know what

368
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: you think about all of this tipping when it comes

369
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: to where you tip, where you don't tip, and how

370
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: much are you supposed to leave. It's way up with Angela.

371
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: Eat with my guest, Jasmine Brand. Angel is way up, alright,

372
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: It's way up with Angela. Ye, we were doing about

373
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 1: last night, and it turned into a whole thing debate. Yes,

374
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: Jasmine Brand is here with me. She's my friend in

375
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: real life, and um, you know she's a big tipper apparently,

376
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: well except when it comes to the hair. Apparently. Yeah,

377
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: I'm falling short. You're a big tipper, except when it

378
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: comes to food delivery. You need to do better. Well, No,

379
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: I actually overtipped. Sometimes it just depends the more you spend,

380
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: the less you tip. So now I just try to

381
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: tip the same across the board so that you're still

382
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: getting you know, paid, but you should get paid, but

383
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: you're not getting paid what you get paid if you're

384
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: not doing want to build. That's a hundred dollars for

385
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: the food delivery person. But however, if I'm only paying

386
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: twenty dollars for some food, you're actually getting way more.

387
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Let's talk about it, because you're actually

388
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 1: getting about tip in that case. So it really does

389
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: depend because I don't want to give and be cheap

390
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: in some certain instances. But we're gonna see what two

391

Speaker 1: your destination is. They don't get extra money from that,

404
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: Like you know how, it's gonna be a whole lot

405
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: more money, and you're like, dang, they don't get more

406
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: for that. Yeah. A lot of them switch, especially all

412
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: you need to always give at least is the is

413
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: what I'm hearing. Okay, all right, we are talking about tipping.

414
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: Who's this. Hey a, you sound like you'd be bawling. Girl,

415
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: Who are you tipping? I'm not step in the house anymore.

416
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: Why if you notice episodes COVID they might bring your

417
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: cows and yours. That's not their fault. That's the hotel's rules.

418
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: So they should you feel like they shouldn't get anything. Now,

419
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: wait the rulers and not change your sheets. Well they

420
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 1: were doing that. Once you move that tag off that door.

421
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: You have to some hotels you have to request if

422
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: you want every day for them to service your room.

423
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: So she's saying like it used to be where they

424
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: would come in every day and swap you out with

425
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 1: new towels and sheets. Yeah, okay, now they don't. If

426
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: you don't need them to service your room, then you

427
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: shouldn't tip. Yeah, because actually I will, Like I said,

428
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: I clean my room myself all the time. But sometimes

429
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm okay, I don't need it today. But regardless,

430
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: when you leave, they're going to have to clean your room. Okay,

431
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: do you do you okay? He's just like no doing, Okay,

432
00:21:54,960 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: good morning. We're talking about tipping. Who is this done? Done?

433
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: I know now your name is done. You gotta be

434
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: a don about this. Yeah, I usually for everything, for everything.

435
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: I would actually yet in August and actially well loved it.

436
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: What about the barber? You tip? Exactly what I was

437
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: going to ask, even Yeah, I mean depend on the service.

438
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: Oh no, no you have? Do you have said everything? Yeah?

439
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: So if you're getting your beer done or whatever lined

440
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 1: up or something, do you do you tip for that? Oh? Yeah? Yeah?

441
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: I always as well. So when you said it depends

442
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 1: what what? What depends? I mean depends on how the services? Okay,

443
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: so the service isn't good, you know, and that's true.

444
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: If the service is not good, you don't automatically have

445
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,239
Speaker 1: to leave a tip. No, I don't. I don't automatically tip.

446
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: But sometimes sometimes I might feel a little I might

447
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: feel little bad, and I might need like maybe five dollars, right, okay,

448
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: And I agree with that because what if you have

449
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: like a you know, a server that's terrible, I still

450
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: tip anyways, disrespectful, not even when service isn't good. I

451
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,719
Speaker 1: tip anyway because I feel like they've they think that

452
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: black people don't tip, so I'll just go ahead and

453
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: tip anyway. I think you don't think you're black? So wait,

454
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: so you were still tip. First. I've done it multiple times.

455
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: Even if I had issue with somebody, I'll still tip

456
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: because I feel like they think we don't tip. So

457
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: I'm trying to fight the stigma by just taking the

458
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: psychology they did on your works. All right, we're talking

459
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: about tipping. Who is this? Name is Michael? Hi Michael?

460
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 1: How are you, ladies? Good? How are you? What are

461
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: your thoughts on tipping? I was wondering, how do you

462
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,959
Speaker 1: feel about being asked for a tip? Like, give us

463
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: an example? How do you ask? Like? I was just

464
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 1: an Atlantic city and they forgot my bag and the

465
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 1: guy was like, a chip will be appreciated. So I

466
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: took outs where I had luc and I gave it

467
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 1: to him. But I felt a little uncomfortable. Well, okay,

468
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: ship will be appreciated. Did he deserve it? Um? No

469
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: act for a tip? I feel disrespectful. But it worked.

470
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 1: Where you go, you're going to get a tip? Oh okay,

471
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna tip him anyway? You probably wouldn have tipp

472
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: them twenty five though, No, that's it worked. But you

473
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: know what, sometimes it's a little nudge. He said it

474
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: would be appreciated. He didn't say it was you know,

475
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 1: where's my tip? He said, A tip of be appreciate it, right,

476
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: But I feel, you know, in this job, you know

477
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 1: you're you're there and you know what they're going to

478
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: give you a tip. Everyone doesn't tip, though. Yeah, that's

479
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: a fact. You'd be surprised. I mean, so obviously you're

480
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: gonna okay like a true glamp gambler. Alright, Well, there

481
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: you have it. It seems like across the board it

482
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 1: feels like it's tacky to ask for a tip. It

483
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: feels like you need to be tipping more with for

484
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: your food delivery service. Angela, I do. Sometimes I tip

485
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 1: more than twenty percent. Sometimes you don't because I was

486
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: too bad. I don't know if I want to do.

487
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,959
Speaker 1: It's Black History Month. Do better, ma'am. You didn't tip hair,

488
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: We've murdered and now you got to send one. Now

489
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: you do better. I will do, ma'am. All right, when

497
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,800

498
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: here with me. I am here. I love this segment.

499
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: I know you do, because you have an entertainment site.

500
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: Do the Jasmine brand, Jasmine brand. Alright, so let's start

501
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: off with this whole J Prince versus Offset situation. Now,

502
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: we did start off talking about this previously where J

503
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: Prince had some things to say about Offset when he

504
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: was a million dollars worth of game. Here's what he

505
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: said originally, Off said, dude, you know, be throwing rocks

506
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: and high in the right. I don't like them kind

507
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: of individuals, you know. And the truth of the maut

508
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: is you wouldn't really right there with take Off when

509
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 1: he was alive, you know what I mean. So for

510
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: you to be taking these positions that you're taking, you

511
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: know what I mean? And that I got people everywhere

512
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: I saw, I hear all kinds of things. I'm gonna

513
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: just say this to you. Don't never put me in

514
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: no position. Well, you know, I have to defend myself

515
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 1: all right now. After that, Most responded to Jay Prince's

516
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: interview and he posted this, I want y'all speak on

00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: this show fifth interview. You know I'm did by my brother.

519
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: You ain't think about it, Mama. You didn't think about

520
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: the family when you said nothing. I ain't. Nobody said

521
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: nothing but you. And if you heard something from me,

522
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,119

00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: interview about I said, call my phone home now. I

527
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: saw a lot of people on social media taking sides

528
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: in the situation of Offset versus J Prince. Some people

529
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 1: felt like J. Prince was basically picking on him, picking

530
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: on Offset and why didn't you call him? Well? J

531
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: Prince then posted another message there's more and wrote in

532
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: the captain a message to the man that's off. To

533
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: those of you that still live on principles over emotions

534
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: that now and respect me. It's all good. I don't

535
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: care about the media. I don't know if I can

536
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 1: say this word. They eat ish for a living. We

537
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: live on different planets and breathe different air, if you

538
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I only display loyalty and friendship

539
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: to my brothers and sisters until they show me their unworthy.

540
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 1: Never been a bully or lived a life where I

541
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: abused my power on the week and here's what he

542
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: had to say in that post that he captioned this

543
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: clown outset suffering from being a fake mother disease. He

544
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 1: want to play victim now, but he's a volunteer. When

545
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: he spoke pricks about me and my family name and

546
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: the mouth about what he's gonna do. Why you didn't

547
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: call me to talk because the twists you want to

548
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: use Now you want to fake in front of a camera,

549
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: trying to have her takeoff mother when I was showing

550
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 1: nothing but respect for her and family. She boy, are

551
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: you asking like you're part of a family that don't

552
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: really with you because you're a snake now. You don't

553
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: know me from a can of pain. Let me see

554
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 1: if I can refresh your memory. Remember we talked when

555
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 1: you got your ass whoop in Atlanta. You forgot and

556
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: then j Prince went on too details several different situations

557
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: where he says that he got a call from Offset

558
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: needing his assistance. Well, Cardie B went on social media

559
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: and to never tell him the show receipts. Only people

560
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: that was there was whack and big you. Why would

561
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: he call you for anything involved in cripts? Whole bunch

562
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: of fairy tales. And then Offset says Street and we're

563
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: turn cop. Never needed you for no smoke, you the

564
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: police or mouth for no proof, just fairy tales. Let

565
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: this be the last time we speak on this. Wow,

566
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm on the group text and maybe

567
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: I shouldn't be. Yeah, So I know it's a lot

568
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: of negativity around all of this, but this is what's

569
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: going on. And I do really hope though that maybe

570
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: they do need to just get on the phone. Yeah,

571
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: it needs to be some sort of sit down and talk.

572
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: But you know, somebody's life was lost, take off a

573
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: really big deal, and now it's causing all of this

574
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: fallout from it, and I think that's a shame. We'd

575
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: rather see people now at this point in time, say,

576
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: let's not even argue about small things. Is bigger things

577
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: on the line here and quality control. Since we're talking

578
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: about Offset and all of this has been acquired for

579
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: a reported three hundred million dollars. That's a lot of money.

580
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: And that's by Scooter Bronze Company Hive America. So it's

581
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: a division of the South Korean entertainment firm which dominates

582
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: the K pop world. And so that's Coach K and

00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: P from Quality Control that Actually, they're all very enthusiastic

584

589
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: Quality Control, you know me goes little baby, little YACHTI

00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: Up amongst other people. So that is definitely gonna be

592
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: I mean a nice situation, a nice bag. It sounds

593
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: like a lot. Yeah, that's a three million, that's alright.

594
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: And Michael Irving has been pulled from the NFL network

595
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowl coverage and this is following report of misconduct

596
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: toward a woman in the hotel lobby. Now Michael Irvin

597
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: is staying at a hotel in Glendale, Arizona, that's near

598
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: this weekend Super Bowl. He told the Dallas Morning News

599
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: the encounter took place in the hotel lobby he returned

600
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: after a night out on the town. He said his

601
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: interaction with the women lasted only forty five seconds, and

602
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: then they shook hands and went their separate ways. He said, honestly,

603
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: I'm a bit baffled with it all. This all happened

604
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: in a forty five second conversation in the lobby. When

605
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: I got back after going out, I came into the

606
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: lobby and I talked to somebody. I talked to this girl.

607
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: I don't know her, and I talked to her for

608
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: about forty five seconds. We shook hands and I left.

609
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:07,959
Speaker 1: That's all I know. And he did admit that he

610
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: was drinking, so he doesn't recall the conversation, but he

611
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: says he's totally perplexed about what happened and what law

612
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: did he break. He said, it was nothing physical. There

613
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: was definitely nothing physical. What what what did he say

614
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: to this lady? Allegedly? I have no idea, but I'm

615
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: sure at some point we're going to find out, but um,

616
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: now he's been relieved of his duties covering the super

617
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: Bowl NFL. Yeah, so it has to be something significantly Yeah,

618
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,479
Speaker 1: so not sure, but super Bowl is this weekend and

619
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: we'll be following up at this story to see if

620
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: we can figure out what went down. Right, But that

621
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: is your yet. Thank you Jasmine Brand, Thank you Angela. Ye.

622
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: I know that we have to do such negative stories.

623
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: It's it's I mean, but we do positive stories and

624
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: we do some other things we're gonna talk about soon,

625
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: so right and coming up next, Um, I do want

626
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: to talk about out cannabis. Now, there was a company,

627
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: there is a company Medmen that was a huge chain

628
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: of cannabis stores. They were calling this the Apple Store

629
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: of weed, and things have gone terribly left. We're gonna

630
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: tell you all about it on way up with Angela

631
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: when we come back. Thank you Jasmine Brand, Angela. And

632
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: to put a dentt. And also I'm reading that they

633
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: have not paid their rent since why not on their lease?

634
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: I guess it's looking like they have too much debt

635
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: to be able to do that. So that's just one

636
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: of the cannabis companies that is facing a reckoning as

637
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: this industry bubble of marijuana businesses is deflating because of

638
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: excessive debt, falling marijuana prices, competition because there's a lot

639
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: of stores that sell cannabis that might be illegal, that

640
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: people now have these options that they can go to,

641
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: and high taxes. That's another thing. They said that the

642
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: taxes on that business is one of the reasons that

643
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: a lot of these company these are failing in cannabis

644
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: because people are not paying the taxes and the taxes

645
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: are ridiculously high. So I'll stay. Living in l A

646
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: for eight years, there was a marijuana cannabis store on

647
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: every corner, in every corner, and I remember I remember

648
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: hearing about mad Men and when I first moved in,

649
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: I was kind of confused, what what is this, what

650
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: do they do or whatever? And it's a lot of

651
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,239
Speaker 1: competition in l A and play obviously across the country now.

652
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: But I remember thinking like, wow, imagine you're going to

653
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: get audited too, for sure if you have a cannabis business.

654
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: And then the other problem is that it's not regulated

655
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 1: like that, so the rules are always changing. And so

656
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: I know in New York gets pretty strict right now

657
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: as far as what you can do, but everybody was

658
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,479
Speaker 1: trying to get in on it. Everybody people who had

659
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: nothing to do and never don't even smoke. But like,

660
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: you want me get in this business. Remember when everyone

661
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: wanted to be a realtor. Yeah, now everybody wanted to

662
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: be a Yeah. So mad Men is based near l A.

663
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: They operate twenty three stores. And that's another problem too,

664
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: is growing your business too fast. And then a lot

665
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: of times people feel like, oh, I'm going to get

666
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of investors to invest in my company

667
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: and then it's going to be valued at x y

668
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: z because at one point, like I said, they were

669
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: valued at one point seven billion dollars. That's yeah, and

670
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 1: now they have only fifteen points. Listen, their shares rose

671
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: to over eight dollars. But today you know how much

672
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 1: it is? Four cents? Oh no, yeah, I mean think

673
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: about that as a drop as far as the value

674
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 1: of a company. Yeah. So a lot of businesses though

675
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 1: they said that UM and other companies that do cannabis,

676
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: they've suffered Similarly, there's other stocks of different cannabis producers.

677
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: UM till Ray Brands, that's a cannabis producer that's among

678
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: the industry's largest companies is down more than from its

679
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: all time high, and Canopy Growth, another major player, is

680
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: also down a similar amount. Now I remember earlier on

681
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 1: because you know, I have family members who are very yes,

682
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: uh do really well. One thing I will say, if

683
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: you can actually not have the overhead of having a dispensary,

684
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: plus the taxes and the headaches that come with that

685
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 1: and having to deal with security, and if you have

686
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: one of those dispensaries, making sure that you're employees don't steal,

687
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: because that's also something that could happen. Um being somebody

688
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: that can actually help as far as supplying, that's probably

689
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: a better business be a grower. I heard that it

690
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,919
Speaker 1: was really hard for people, for black and brown people

691
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: to break into this industry. It is because it's expensive

692
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: to break into and as you can see, even trying

693
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: to raise money, and it's a little bit of a

694
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: risky business. So you know, that's just one of the

695
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: things that I wanted to talk about because I saw

696
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 1: this story going viral, so we wanted to talk about

697
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 1: kind of break it down because people, like a lot

698
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: of people think that this is a thriving business and

699
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: everyone should get into it, and their stories like this

700
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: that people need to be aware of. You know what

701
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 1: they said, Um, half of all new cannabis businesses won't

702
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: make it to the five year mark and seven out

703
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 1: of ten will fail within ten years. I feel like

704
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 1: that's a typical standard for business. Yeah it is. But

705
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: people think that cannabis was to get rich quick business

706
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: because then you saw some businesses thriving, right because some

707
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 1: people do really well, Like you know, look at Burner,

708
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: he does amazing and cookies and all of that. But

709
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 1: you know, they've been around for quite some time and

710
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: they do a great job marketing and they have their

711
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: products and other places too. So you know, just being

712
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,240
Speaker 1: able to market your business also not grow too quickly,

713
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: also get excellent partnerships. All of those things I feel

714
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: like a really important when it comes to doing that business.

715
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: But with this mad Men's story going viral, I just

716
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: wanted to shed some light on that all right now,

717
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: when we come back, we love to do stories that

718
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: are under the radar, stories that we feel like you

719
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: should know about but maybe necessary aren't necessarily uh, those

720
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: headline news stories. And I want to talk about this

721
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:36,280
Speaker 1: pill that can treat postpartum depression. Now, Jasmine, you recently

722
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: had a little cute baby, and I definitely experienced postpartum.

723
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,399
Speaker 1: And do you feel like now everything is I don't

724
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 1: know if everything is. My daughter is a year and

725
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 1: some change, I don't know if everything is. You know,

726
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm still kind of adjusting. It's not

727
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,280
Speaker 1: as bad as it was, though. Some people have postpartum

728
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,439
Speaker 1: depression is don't even know it, like they just don't

729
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: know what's wrong. When I was talking to you, I

730
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: remember you say, well, maybe it's maybe you're still going

731
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: through post part remember saying that to me. Yeah, yeah,

732
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: So it's just something to think about. But imagine if

733
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: there was a pill that could treat postpartum depression, and

734
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: this could be a game changer for some people. The

735
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: f d A is working to help develop this, and

736
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: we'll give you some more information on that when we

Speaker 1: now He says he was on the CBS Mornings on Wednesday,

743
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,520

Speaker 1: any energy and kind of move move from honest, it

750
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:04,359
Speaker 1: was an experience for me to grow, you know, and learn.

Speaker 1: I'm in my light right now. This is my Jordan year.

Speaker 1: There's so much going on, so many blessing, so many

754
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: great things. This is at a point in my career

755
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: where there's not a lot of people telling me no,

756
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: and everything's wide open and let's not forget. He is

Speaker 1: scrubbed Hally's pictures from off of his social media page,

770
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,040

00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 1: d d G made it too much by tweeting that

779
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: out in Okay, but he also knows what he's doing.

780
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: He knows what he's doing all right now. Britney spears

781
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: she's been having some struggles with her mental health and

782
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:35,320
Speaker 1: substance abuse, and now people close to her have planned

783
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: an intervention. According to TMZ. One source told TMZ, I'm

784
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 1: afraid she's gonna die. My gosh, that's supposedly one of

785
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: her close friends. Where to talk to TMZ and be yeah,

786
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: what is it? But anyway, multiple sources would direct knowledge

787
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: say that people around her have become alarmed by her erratic,

788
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 1: volatile behavior. They said she's taking meds that hype her

789
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: up and has been flying off the handle. One source

790
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: says at her manager rented a house in the l

791
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: A area for several months. The plan was to take

792
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: her there to the house without her knowing, and then

793
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: her husband and interventionists and doctors would be present to

794
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: try to convince her to get the help that she needs. Um.

795
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 1: But the plan was for this to go down on Tuesday,

796
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 1: and somehow she became aware of a plan and it

797
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 1: all changed and the intervention idea got scrapped. Yeah, so

798
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: they said that um, Brittany agreed to meet with the doctor.

799
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: We don't know what type of doctor. And she met

800
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 1: with the doctor yesterday and it went well. Have you oh,

801
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: that's good, that's good news. Have you noticed her social

802
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: media posts are always a little uh, she's been through

803
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah, I know, and you can it's a lot.

804
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,240
Speaker 1: It's there some of some of them are a little alarming.

805
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. And if that was your friend,

806
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: you would want to help. I wouldn't be calling t

807
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: m Z. Is that helpful? All right? All now, floor

808
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: Rider is saying that he plans to pursue philanthropy with

809
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: his settlement that he got from the energy drink Celsius.

810
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: And so, you know, you got an eighty two million

811
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: dollar settlement. I mean that's he got a serious, amazing

812
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: amount of money. And so here's what he had to

813
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 1: say about what his plans are or more happy about

814
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 1: the philanthropic things that I could do, Like you know,

815
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 1: I have my big drinks and kids charity beautiful, I

816
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,479
Speaker 1: have a utball league. I have over ten thousand kids.

817
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: You know, this is this thing where I'm just thinking

818
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 1: about the generational wealth and how I can continue to have,

819
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 1: you know, open doors for other people and just invested

820
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 1: in the kids. I mean, when you invest in the future,

821
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: you can't even imagine what the future would be like

822
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: two million dollars. I feel like he was already well

823
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 1: off financially and then he got this eighty two million dollars.

824
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: What do you think he had to pay taxes on

825
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 1: that half at least, and then you also probably got

826
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 1: to pay a lawyer on top of that. But whatever,

827
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: not a problem, all right, And I do want to

828
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: give a shoutout. I know I did this yesterday at

Speaker 1: being on a high from their wedding in April, and

840
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: everything natural fell into place after their wedding to have

841
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 1: a family. She said it felt like the perfect way

842
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: to start a new chapter with my husby. I wrapped

843

Speaker 1: good friends with somebody, would you want to do that?

850
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 1: But NATORI did say once she announced it in people

851
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 1: that she's gonna come up here. Okay, yeah, we need

852
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,799

855
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: Black History Month and so all months, and I feel

856
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 1: like we should do this, not stuff anyway. We're highlighting

857
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: different amazing people for Black History Months. So when we

858
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: come back, we'll talk about black owned, black owned, black owned,

859
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: because we love that A way up with angela Ye

860
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 1: featuring that Jasmine Brand. Yes, it is way up with

861
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,359
Speaker 1: angela Ye. And it's Black History Months, so we want

862
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 1: to honor some incredible, amazing human beings. Jasmine Brand is

863
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: here with me. Yes, I'm here. So one company that

864
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 1: I want to talk about is book Dog Sports now

865
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 1: a rounded booker and his fourteen year old son, Kendall,

866
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:40,839
Speaker 1: and I love when people do stuff with their kids

867
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: because that really helps kids become entrepreneurs at an early

868
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: age and set that mindset. But they're making history. They're

869
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: the founders of Bookdog Sports. It's the first ever black

870
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:53,800
Speaker 1: owned athletic supply company. Have you ever thought about this,

871
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 1: because you know, he's been supporting his son a team

872
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,800
Speaker 1: practices and games, and he noticed all of the equipment

873
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: was developed by four companies and none of them were

874
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,439
Speaker 1: black owned. Do you play sports, Jasmine, No, not really?

875
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 1: Dar Okay, alright, so he said, Ronde said've been thinking

876
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:16,280
Speaker 1: about sports. It's likely the several black stars across all sports, basketball, football, tennis,

877
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: or soccer come to mind easily. Black people have contributed

878
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:23,359
Speaker 1: much to sports, attracting fans and diverse audiences, redefining the game,

879
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 1: and helping shape its culture, yet so few are found

880
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:32,399
Speaker 1: behind the ball, particularly when looking at industries like sports equipment. Okay, yeah,

881
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 1: So I like that because it's you going somewhere seeing

882
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: something and then one day, I'm sure it's sparked in

883
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,839
Speaker 1: his head, like yeah, and it's really an untapped market

884
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:43,800
Speaker 1: in terms of black and brown people. Well, it was

885
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 1: there the first ones to ever do this, So I

886
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: think that's amazing. So their first product is called the

887
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 1: h W one on one. It's a basketball made with

888
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: premium micro fiber composite leather that offers amazing grip and

889
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,399
Speaker 1: durability to last off season and beyond. Kudos to them

890
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: and his son is fort taking you, ma, and if

891
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:01,800
Speaker 1: you were doing something like this at fourteen, where you

892
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 1: would be in terms of your business? Yeah, I wish. Now.

893
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,399
Speaker 1: The other day when Godfrey was there, we also talked

894
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: about Harvard University having their first ever black women as

895
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: the president, Claudine Gay. That's the first time that's ever happened. Right. Well,

Speaker 1: of your stack of papers. Jasmine brand a black woman

912
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:13,479
Speaker 1: owned tech company called Sparky. Now you know we're sitting

913
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 1: here charging everything as we're sitting here right now, my phone,

914
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: my laptop, uh, sometimes your headphones. So Sparky is a

915
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: black woman owned tech company and they have announced um

916
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: their first two part charging system portable device, so you

917
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,320
Speaker 1: can Sparky up. So we need to we need to

918
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: buy this. Yeah, yeah you do. It's available for pre

919
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: order right now. And so founder and creator Kylo Wilkinson said,

920
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 1: our world is becoming more reliant on our tech devices,

921
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 1: and it's time to start innovating the charging experience. I

922
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: searched unsuccessfully for an aesthetically pleasing product that would charge

923
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 1: my mobile devices without tacking up too much space. So

924
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 1: I decided to create one myself because consumers shouldn't have

925
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:59,439
Speaker 1: to choose between a creative design and better battery life.

926
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:02,840
Speaker 1: So it's a puck and based combo. So now you

927
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 1: can charge these three different devices simultaneously. So when you're

928
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: always asking me or do you have a charger? Do

929
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 1: you have a charger? I can say yeah because we

930
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 1: can charge our devices together, F and Android and early

931
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 1: bird pricing is sixty nine. This isn't my budget, but

932
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 1: the retail price will be ars. Now the question is

933
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 1: will you leave a tip because earlier we were talking

934
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 1: about tipping. We were talking about tipping in I feel

935
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 1: like I'm doing pretty well and I feel like you

936
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 1: need to do better. Well, you only said that now

937
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: because you're actually gonna send it an extra tip, and

938
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: you also owe a tip to people that actually yesterday

939
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 1: you tip. The day before yesterday you didn't tip enough

940
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 1: for the expensive restaurant that you order from. So you

941
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 1: guy looked really happy with his tip. I just want

942
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 1: to say, what's he gonna do? Like a very excited

943
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 1: he didn't know how much my food quest all right? Now.

Speaker 1: dollars into HBC. You founded startups there you go. A

961
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: Black History Month. We're trying to give you some information,

962
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 1: but I like useful information and actionable things. So now

963
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 1: you guys have some actions that you can take. We

964
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 1: tell you about Bookdog Sports, the first ever black own

965
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: athletics supply company that you guys can go ahead and

966
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: purchase a basketball. The h W one on one made

967
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 1: from premium micro fiber, composite leather. And then we told

968
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 1: you about Sparky, a black woman on tech company, so

969
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 1: you can charge three devices at once. It's now available

970
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: for pre order and you can spark e up and

971
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 1: go on Kickstarter and get pay sixty nine dollars for

972
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 1: early bird pricing, and then the retail price will be

973
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 1: ninety nine dollars. It's esthetically pleasing because I know there

974
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 1: are other devices that charge multiple things, but this look good.

975
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 1: I'm getting it for us, okay. And then, um, we

976
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: just told you about a black owned VC firm, Next Cube,

977
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 1: partnering with Costco, and you guys can go on there

978
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:36,800
Speaker 1: and try to get some money if one of the

979
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:39,880
Speaker 1: people in your business went to an h B c U.

980
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 1: March tenth is a deadline, right, yes, March tenth is

981
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: that deadline. There you go all of these things you

982
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 1: can do for Black History Month and beyond. And when

983
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,439
Speaker 1: we come back, speaking of founders and entrepreneurs, we're gonna

984
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,920
Speaker 1: be talking to Ray de Jon. Now you know him

985
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 1: as a comedian, also one of the former hosts video

986
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 1: Music Box. There's a whole documentary about the Music Box

987
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: at Ralph McDaniels started. Buddy also has a comedy club

988
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 1: that he just opened in Brooklyn, and such an interesting

989
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 1: story when we come back ray to John on Way

990
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 1: Up with Angela yea, yes, it is a way Yup

991
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:18,840
Speaker 1: with Angela yee. My girl, Jasmine Brand is here with

992
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: me today. What's up? Thank you Jasmine Brand for being here.

993
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:24,880
Speaker 1: Thank you. And you know, one of the stories I

994
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 1: wanted to touch on that we did earlier during the

995
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 1: yet is and you know, I love talking about business,

996
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:35,880
Speaker 1: but this has to do with UM Quality Control. You

997
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 1: know they sold to Hide for three hundred and twenty

998
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:42,720
Speaker 1: million dollars something like that, and I saw that actually

999
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:47,759
Speaker 1: UM from Quality Control. He went online and posted and

1000
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: he said, I don't usually post long notes, but I

1001
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 1: recorded some thoughts tonight. There's no value in separation. There

1002
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 1: is so much more value when people are working together

1003
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 1: and not hating and taking each other down, especially when

1004
00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:00,440
Speaker 1: you come from nothing. Stop thinking people are selling instead

1005
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 1: of see people are selling in and see that you

1006
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 1: are building something to create more for everybody. Black entrepreneurs

1007
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 1: are not getting these opportunities on a regular basis, and

1008
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 1: they should be. Let's stay inspired and celebrate the blessings

1009
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 1: and leveling up and breaking of barriers. The announcement. The

1010
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 1: announcement did get mixed reactions, so I understand that's why

1011
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,360
Speaker 1: he posted and said that it kind of gave an

1012
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 1: explanation in some context around you know, their decision. Yeah,

1013
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 1: And the only reason I was bringing that up is

1014
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:30,880
Speaker 1: because a lot of people do want to build a

1015
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 1: company to sell it. And there's nothing wrong with that

1016
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 1: because it actually gives you some more capital to be

1017
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 1: other things. I see people selling their publishing and people

1018
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:42,720
Speaker 1: selling their music catalogs and all of that, and it's yours.

1019
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:44,399
Speaker 1: You can do what you want with it, and then

1020
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,439
Speaker 1: you can use that money to go and do something else.

1021
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 1: You know. Three hundred Entertainment they sold to Warner Music

1022
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 1: for four hundred million dollars, and a lot of people

1023
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 1: listening at home like, oh they sold. They listen if

1024
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:56,400
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna give you three hundred and twenty million dollars.

1025
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:58,840
Speaker 1: But you know, I think people, regular people, we just

1026
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 1: don't know. We don't unders in what that means. We

1027
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 1: don't understand why outside of the money. People don't understand

1028
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 1: like why would you want to lose ownership? People need contact,

1029
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 1: So I think it's good to kind of explain that, well,

1030
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 1: now they got ownership of million dollars, but there's a

1031
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:12,720
Speaker 1: lot more you can do when you have the capital

1032
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 1: and also in a partnership, and you talk about global access.

1033
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 1: That is a big deal. And we see this happen

1034
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:20,239
Speaker 1: in the corporate world all the time, but with these

1035
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:23,880
Speaker 1: black owned companies, people get so upset, when very upset,

1036
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 1: you know. And I understand that because we feel like

1037
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 1: this is our thing. But sometimes people build companies, build apps,

1038
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 1: build things to be able to sell it, to get

1039
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:34,279
Speaker 1: access to capital, and then they can help other people

1040
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:37,320
Speaker 1: like Richie Loue Dennis did when he sold Shame Moisture

1041
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 1: and then he has Essence and then he has the

1042
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 1: fund now and he helps fund so many different black

1043
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 1: owned companies. So it is important to understand that. You know,

1044
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 1: that was just on my mind speaking of ownership. Ray

1045
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 1: de Jon is coming up next. He's a comedian. He

1046
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 1: was one of the hosts for Video Music Box and

1047
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: now he owns a comedy club in Brooklyn because he

1048
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 1: was tired of just being a performer at him he

1049
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:01,240
Speaker 1: wanted to own one. On Way Up with Angelie tomorrow,

1050
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: It's Way Up with Anton Lay and this is for

1051
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:09,840
Speaker 1: my mastery of comedy segments, which is something that is

1052
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 1: near and did in my heart because y'all know I

1053
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: love comedy. Jasmine Brand is here joining me hosting, and

1054
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 1: today we have Kuamic Clark and Ray de Jean here.

1055
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:22,360
Speaker 1: Now the reason I have both of you here, we

1056
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,239
Speaker 1: had actually came to the venue that you guys have

1057
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:31,839
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn. Is it called Laughaholics now or to Home?

1058
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 1: Want to lose that part of it. And it's good

1059
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: to have the name of the venue as the address.

1060
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:41,800
Speaker 1: And so Ray de Jean legendary as you see he

1061

00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 1: And so let's start with the venue and then let's

1065
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 1: move backwards. So tell us about opening this new venue,

1066
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 1: because I saw you guys had the soft launch earlier

1067
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 1: in jan Wary, and I just want to go through

1068
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 1: the process of what made you decide to do this? Well,

1069
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,360
Speaker 1: I met Qualm of years ago. He was the director

1070
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:10,239
Speaker 1: of Performing our Center at your college and I would

1071
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 1: produce and promote shows at his venue. I would do

1072
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 1: my laugh for hole tape, for food show and other

1073
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:19,080
Speaker 1: shows involving old school R and B, old school hip

1074
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:22,759
Speaker 1: hop and comedy. And so we developed a working relationship then.

1075
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:26,319
Speaker 1: And you know, a few years into that relationship we said, hey, man,

1076
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 1: you know, maybe one day we could create our own

1077
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 1: venue and have our own venue. Pandemic hit and the

1078
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:35,319
Speaker 1: conversation came up again, and this time we said, we're

1079
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:37,319
Speaker 1: going to go for it. But the way this you're

1080
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:40,759
Speaker 1: setting up to is different. Yes, this is what he

1081
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 1: told me when I came. He said, this is dirty

1082
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 1: five and over. My son asked can he do his

1083
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:50,479
Speaker 1: party that. I was like, hell to them. Know, he's

1084
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:53,839
Speaker 1: we're looking for a cougar for him. Well I am.

1085
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna give out another later for my son.

1086
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 1: By the way, I caught him having sex in my

1087
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:07,480
Speaker 1: bed during the pandemic. You have a mask on, no

1088
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 1: listening to my Marvin g c D. That's right. Did

1089
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:13,759
Speaker 1: it well in the moment? Where did you let him

1090
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:15,920
Speaker 1: finish it? Did you? No? I mean, you know, I'm

1091
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:18,319
Speaker 1: a guy, but I'm I'm a dad, so I had

1092
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:20,800
Speaker 1: to be a dad. I had to discipline them. But

1093
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, Like when I

1094
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:24,440
Speaker 1: told them to go down, says him, and his you

1095
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 1: know yeah whatever. The dad pat me was like, wow,

1096
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:32,800
Speaker 1: my man got something, you know what I mean. And

1097
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:35,320
Speaker 1: then I found a box of Magnum condoms. I'm like, okay,

1098
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 1: you're protecting himself. Yeah, until I thought about it, I'm like,

1099
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:40,840
Speaker 1: I don't even wear Magnum condoms. Now I'm in therapy

1100
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:46,279
Speaker 1: because my son got a bigger shot. Just so you know,

1101
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:49,239
Speaker 1: some guys wear them but don't necessarily need that, right.

1102
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:52,720
Speaker 1: They're just like the packaging exactly looks like a baggy

1103
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 1: and then they got to get a twist to hold

1104
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 1: it up. Those are Sagnums and just a comedian on

1105
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 1: the law. But this is why I'm really excited, because

1106
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 1: for myself as an entrepreneur in Brooklyn and then to

1107
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 1: have you opening this, I was just hype. And we're

1108
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 1: gonna do the coffee uplifts people and then so that's

1109
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 1: another thing. But I do want to dig into the

1110
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:15,839
Speaker 1: history you got on your Video Music Box sweat shirt.

1111
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:19,560
Speaker 1: And you know, originally I really really really knew ray

1112
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:22,359
Speaker 1: to John from Video Music Box. So you and Ralph

1113
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:24,840
Speaker 1: mc daniel still super cool to this day. How did

1114
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 1: all that transpire? So I was working in substance abuse,

1115
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 1: that's my initial career, and I would, you know, host

1116
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 1: and do all of the fundraisers for my jobs. And

1117
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 1: I became this MC doing fashion shows and weddings. I

1118
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 1: worked under Dr Bob Lee and then Ralph. I kept

1119
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 1: going to Ralph McDaniel's for an interview or interview, and

1120
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:47,800
Speaker 1: I got on this other show called Dance Tracks USA

1121
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 1: with this other guy named Tony Toon who mimicked Ralph

1122
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:53,520
Speaker 1: show that was on once a week. I kept going

1123
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:55,319
Speaker 1: a Ralph, kept going Ralph and kept turning me down.

1124
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 1: He's like, I got enough, I got crazy, Sam, I

1125
00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 1: got tough, ee, I got all these people. I'm good.

1126
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:03,799
Speaker 1: So the holidays came and he says, I'm busy. I'm

1127
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 1: gonna give you a shot. And that was thirty years ago. Persistence, Yeah,

1128
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 1: and um he put me out there and then, and

1129
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:14,239
Speaker 1: I've been on his show ever since. Of course I

1130
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 1: don't do it as much anymore, but I've been on

1131
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 1: that show ever since. And everybody always asked me, how

1132
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:24,560
Speaker 1: did you translate from a counselor to a host on TV?

1133
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:28,680
Speaker 1: Because hosting and interviewing whether it's a Biggie small to

1134
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 1: Tupac or anybody. It's the ability to get people to

1135
00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 1: talk in a safe zone. And as a counselor, I

1136
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 1: I developed those skills, so I went into interviewing artists very,

1137
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 1: very easily. From that point, the popularity on Ralph's show

1138
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:46,600
Speaker 1: allowed me to start doing my own thing. But I

1139
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 1: didn't want to do a video show because I didn't

1140
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 1: want to step on the guy's toes who gave me

1141
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:55,959
Speaker 1: an opportunity. And that's when the comedy thing started coming.

1142
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:58,919
Speaker 1: You know this guy one day say hey, why don't

1143
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 1: you help me promote the show to do comedy. I'm like,

1144
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 1: I would love to do comedy. And since I was popular,

1145
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 1: every time I promoted the show, it would sell out

1146
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:09,400
Speaker 1: because I was on video music. But video music I

1147
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 1: used that and then one day talent was my first host.

1148
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 1: He's one of the New York Kings. He didn't show up.

1149
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 1: He's like, where you gotta host? The show was right,

1150
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:21,520
Speaker 1: they had to pick up the pieces. Let me tell

1151
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:23,400
Speaker 1: you what to do. You already got a personality that

1152
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 1: you're already on stages. You already do concerts, you already

1153
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 1: do shows. You could do it and he gave me

1154
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:32,200
Speaker 1: some pointers and I did it, and I developed a

1155
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 1: love for it, and that was it. I know that

1156
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 1: when you get on stage you talk about your own

1157
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 1: personal situations and you being a sceptance abuse counselor, let's

1158
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:43,919
Speaker 1: talk about what led you to going down that path? Well,

1159
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:51,040
Speaker 1: um I had. I had a very very very troubled childhood.

1160
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:53,480
Speaker 1: I have a book that's coming out that's called My

1161
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 1: Sixth Sense is Humor, because humor is the main aspect

1162
00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 1: of my life that has helped me to move through

1163
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 1: different obstacles, whether it was domestic violence, substance abuse and conceerration,

1164
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 1: my career and employment, everything was based on my sense

1165
00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 1: of humor and how that stood out. So in my

1166
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 1: you know, I went down the wrong path. I got

1167
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: influenced by some people while I was in high school.

1168
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 1: I was a hustler. I was a street person. I

1169
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:27,200
Speaker 1: would drab and steal and sell drugs and then start

1170
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:31,080
Speaker 1: using it myself until it became a problem, and um,

1171
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 1: I got arrested several times, winded up, you know, my

1172
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 1: correctional facility. The last bit I did was like two

1173
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:38,960
Speaker 1: and a half years. But while I was there, I

1174
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 1: got my g e D. I started college, I came out,

1175
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 1: I finished, I got my degree in substance abuse. But

1176
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 1: I didn't let go of the fact that I used

1177
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 1: to use. I had a regular job and I was

1178
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 1: working at this New York hospital as a housekeeping person,

1179
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 1: and every time I got my check, I would get high.

1180
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:57,720
Speaker 1: But I didn't realize that I had a problem before

1181
00:59:57,760 --> 01:00:00,080
Speaker 1: I went to jail because I always had money and

1182
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 1: I never had to want a need for it. So

1183
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 1: I was working, and then eventually I started borrowing money,

1184
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:10,200
Speaker 1: and eventually I started stealing from the job. So at

1185
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 1: first you were kind of functioning yes, yes, And initially

1186
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:16,840
Speaker 1: when I came out, because I didn't want to get

1187
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 1: back into the street life. I didn't want to get

1188
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:21,640
Speaker 1: into stealing again until jail, right, and we want to

1189
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 1: go back to jail. Sense of humor help you in jail.

1190
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 1: It did. It got me through jail, got me through

1191
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 1: in conservation because I was one. I was a snapper.

1192
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 1: I would always make fun and then you know guys

1193
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 1: like I want to lock next to Ray because he's funny,

1194
01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:37,720
Speaker 1: because doing time is cool. When you're around funny people,

1195
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 1: it helps you pass the time. And way I do

1196
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:42,960
Speaker 1: a joke on stage, and before they found out I was,

1197
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 1: I was home and some because I had everybody laughing

1198
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 1: the whole time, so they couldn't figure out who Raidings

1199
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 1: are really was. So it was kind of like a

1200
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 1: determined but it got me through. And you know, as

1201
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 1: a child, the domestic abuse on my mom, like my

1202
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:03,240
Speaker 1: biological for and three stepfathers after that all physically abused

1203
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 1: my mom. And I would go in the street and

1204
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 1: I would snap on people. And I figured out later

1205
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 1: that that was a coping mechanism or coping mechanism that

1206
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 1: helped me get by, and then eventually learned about domestic

1207
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:18,920
Speaker 1: violence and all the aspects of it, and learned about

1208
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:21,680
Speaker 1: something such abuse and and here's the here's the here's

1209
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 1: the tipping point. It got so bad that one day

1210
01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 1: I went in the tunnel of a train station to smoke.

1211
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 1: And I went in there and I'm looking at the

1212
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:33,480
Speaker 1: trains go by, and I'm smoking. It's just three people, me,

1213
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:36,000
Speaker 1: myself and I and I'm there and I'm like, I

1214
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 1: can't do this no more. And the following day I

1215
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:41,800
Speaker 1: went to my aunt and my aunt coincidentally knew the

1216
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 1: director of this program in Queen's called elm Core and

1217
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:47,480
Speaker 1: she put me in the following day. So I'm gonna

1218
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:49,360
Speaker 1: give his twenty dollars. I'm coming to get you in

1219
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 1: the morning and I'm gonna put you in the program.

1220
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:53,360
Speaker 1: So I took the twenty dollars and went and got high.

1221
01:01:56,640 --> 01:02:00,320
Speaker 1: That was my last time. That was January four. Wow.

1222
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:04,880
Speaker 1: So the anniversary that just passed in January. You know what,

1223
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 1: That's like God's plan right there too for you to

1224
01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 1: talk to your aunt and she coincidentally knows somebody. You know.

1225
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of times things do happen

1226
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:16,160
Speaker 1: for a reason when you decide to seek help. So

1227
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:18,280
Speaker 1: you went to seek help. And I know for some

1228
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 1: people they relapse, they go back, but for you, that

1229
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:23,360
Speaker 1: was that was it. That was it. That's great. Way

1230
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 1: up with Angela. You know, I love discussing entrepreneurship and comedy,

1231
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:29,600
Speaker 1: mixing two things together with Ray Dejean. We have more

1232
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 1: next we all away up with Angela. Yet it bringing

1233
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 1: bringing the It's way Up with Angela. Ye, and we

1234
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:52,640
Speaker 1: are talking to Ray Dejean, entrepreneur and host and comedian.

1235
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:55,080
Speaker 1: And you know what's interesting Ray being in the club,

1236
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 1: because you were in the club doing interviews. I mean,

1237
01:02:56,840 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 1: and you've interviewed some iconic people, some interviews that like

1238
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 1: top tier artists at that time. Who was the most

1239
01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:07,080
Speaker 1: difficult person for you to actually get on camera? Because

1240
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 1: I know some people like you did Eminem, it's not like, yeah,

1241
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:13,240
Speaker 1: it's not like Eminem does a lot of interviews. You did, Biggie.

1242
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:22,160
Speaker 1: I tell you the most difficult interview Timberland. Timberland, Yeah, yeah, Timberland.

1243
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:24,840
Speaker 1: He was so hard. It was that uncle Ralph's urban

1244
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 1: gear at a store and we had him there and

1245
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 1: he was like so hard and Ralph told him, He's like, yo,

1246
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:32,120
Speaker 1: you gotta really pull teeth with this guy. Back then,

1247
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 1: he was real quiet. He's still a little reserve, so

1248
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:36,960
Speaker 1: I can see that even more was even more fine,

1249
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 1: extremely reserved back then. Who was your favorite person interview?

1250
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:47,520
Speaker 1: Big Yeah? I was nervous interviewing him. Yeah, Tupac was

1251
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 1: a good, good interview. He's not really focused when you

1252
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 1: interview him. He's like all over the place. And sometimes

1253
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 1: those interviews are in places that are distracting too. Yeah,

1254
01:03:56,560 --> 01:03:58,760
Speaker 1: but I also feel like those are fun. Nobody does

1255
01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:01,760
Speaker 1: that anymore, you know. You know. So I was at

1256
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:05,480
Speaker 1: a jay Z album release party, and and Ralph goes, Joe,

1257
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 1: there's a uh producer there named Kanye West. Make sure

1258
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:09,760
Speaker 1: you get there. He's an up and coming he got

1259
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 1: one of the tracks on it. So we go to

1260
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:16,560
Speaker 1: look for him. Right So the camera guy goes up

1261
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:18,480
Speaker 1: to him and says, hey, Kanye, we want to do it.

1262
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 1: He said, Yo, chill, you know, not not right now.

1263
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 1: I'm not ready. I was like, you know, who is

1264
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:27,960
Speaker 1: this dude? Just back then the avrogance, that's that's one time.

1265
01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:30,800
Speaker 1: The second time, my brother was doing these airbrush shirts

1266
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:34,360
Speaker 1: and so we gave Kanye a shirt. So we're like, hey, man,

1267
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 1: you know, could you put this on? We want to

1268
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:38,080
Speaker 1: do an interview with your all video music by So

1269
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 1: he takes off his other shirt. He's putting it on

1270
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 1: and the camera guy pulls the camera and he went crazy, Yo,

1271
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 1: turn that camera off. Yo, I'm not dressed yet, bro,

1272
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:50,360
Speaker 1: you know what are you doing? I'm like, Yo, dude,

1273
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:53,800
Speaker 1: calm down. He's not even recording, na, bro. He went.

1274
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:56,160
Speaker 1: This is when the tights started coming out, So everybody

1275
01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 1: was moving away from Baggy and he was getting into

1276
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:01,400
Speaker 1: the tight stuf. So he had to tuck his shirt

1277
01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:04,800
Speaker 1: and he said, now I'm ready. So he's always been like,

1278
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:08,440
Speaker 1: Now he's always I've always seen that, Kanye. That's not

1279
01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:11,720
Speaker 1: a surprise to me. Now let's talk about that transition though.

1280
01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:13,360
Speaker 1: So you said you were like, Okay, I want to

1281
01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:15,160
Speaker 1: start branching off and doing my own thing. I don't

1282
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 1: want to step on Ralph McDaniel's toes, so let's do this.

1283
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:20,360
Speaker 1: And then he said talent. You ended up stepping in.

1284
01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 1: So then what happened after that? I started promoting and

1285
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 1: producing shows. At first, I had a booking agent that

1286
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:29,600
Speaker 1: would book the comedians for me, until I started developing

1287
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:32,400
Speaker 1: a relationship getting my numbers, the numbers on my own.

1288
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:36,960
Speaker 1: A comedy room is a venue that's not a comedy

1289
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:39,960
Speaker 1: club that somebody takes and they transform it into a

1290
01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:44,000
Speaker 1: comedy space that night. So that's what I was doing

1291
01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:47,360
Speaker 1: for a while. I had different places, restaurants, bars, and

1292
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:50,360
Speaker 1: I would create a comedy night. All of these stars

1293
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:55,200
Speaker 1: came through me, Kevin Hart, Mike Ups, JB. Smooth, Bill Burr,

1294
01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:58,400
Speaker 1: Lisa lamp and Elly, all these comics when they were

1295
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:02,400
Speaker 1: brand new, d Ra David Carlos Miller all came to

1296
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:04,800
Speaker 1: these places in New York. Because New York was the

1297
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:08,520
Speaker 1: comedy mecca. Um I used to pay Kevin hard which,

1298
01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:09,919
Speaker 1: by the way, a lot of communities to get paid

1299
01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:12,400
Speaker 1: it off, right, right, So I did that. That's when

1300
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:15,360
Speaker 1: I started stepping it up. I brought Queen Comedy some more,

1301
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:21,280
Speaker 1: D L. Hughley, Bill Bellamy, Show Underwood, Adele Gibbons, Tracy Morgan,

1302
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 1: all these comedians because I had a bigger venue now

1303
01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:27,320
Speaker 1: I could accommodate them and be able to pay that

1304
01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:30,000
Speaker 1: certain amount of money. All right, so let people have

1305
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:32,600
Speaker 1: all the information right now. You guys are still kind

Speaker 1: trying to get some advice on time day. I'm having

1346
01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:43,000
Speaker 1: a little bit of a lemma. I've been with my

1347
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:47,320
Speaker 1: ladies for like three years, and I am having some

1348
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:51,320
Speaker 1: like financial difficulties right now. Like last couple of months,

1349
01:08:51,360 --> 01:08:53,360
Speaker 1: I lost my job and I've just been trying to

1350
01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:55,320
Speaker 1: like play catch up and all that stuff. But if

1351
01:08:55,360 --> 01:08:57,599
Speaker 1: she know that, and she'd been riding with me through

1352
01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:00,479
Speaker 1: it and all that, but I want to do something

1353
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:03,120
Speaker 1: special for Valentine's Day, even though you know the funds

1354
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:04,880
Speaker 1: they're really looking like that, Like I got like me

1355
01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:07,040
Speaker 1: like like a hundred dollars to my name. I'm dead

1356
01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:10,200
Speaker 1: asked what I can spend on that, you know what

1357
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:13,880
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But I got this little nice card that

1358
01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:16,000
Speaker 1: pops out at you with all the photos and stuff.

1359
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:18,000
Speaker 1: I got that coming. But I just want to, like,

1360
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:20,240

1426
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:14,560
Speaker 1: Earlier I used the term that everyone did not know.

1427
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:20,759
Speaker 1: What term is that? Angela? I said the word kiki. Okay,

1428
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:22,960
Speaker 1: do you all know in this room what kiki means

1429
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:28,160
Speaker 1: shaking the head? Yes? Well apparently I don't want to

1430
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:30,680
Speaker 1: call names, okay, but let's call her name. But her

1431
01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:33,200
Speaker 1: name is Jennifer when she works here with us. In

1432
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:37,200
Speaker 1: my heart, Jennifer, she's white. But she did not know it,

1433
01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:39,799
Speaker 1: and I didn't realize. I thought k was a universal phrase.

1434
01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:43,320
Speaker 1: And so just to be inclusive. Keiki is like a

1435
01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:46,280
Speaker 1: good laugh, Yes, you know, like a good ki. I

1436
01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:50,120
Speaker 1: guess when we laughing? Like is that why? I don't

1437
01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:52,320
Speaker 1: know what argent? Why don't you do a deep die?

1438
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:54,439
Speaker 1: A deep die? I'd like to say that it is

1439
01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:58,400
Speaker 1: Black History months, so it's important that we share our slang.

1440
01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:02,360
Speaker 1: If people were people are not familiar with it. I

1441
01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:05,519
Speaker 1: found the origin that fact explain the deep dive. Oh no,

1442
01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:07,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if I believe because it's in the

1443
01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:10,560
Speaker 1: Urban Dictionary. Oh that's that's fact. So come on, no, no, no, no,

1444
01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:13,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to say this. I'm scared. It says

1445
01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:18,280
Speaker 1: it's Korean for ha ha ha. I don't believe that.

1446
01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:20,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if I believe it. I don't think

1447
01:13:20,160 --> 01:13:21,360
Speaker 1: I believe it. I don't even want to read this

1448
01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:23,519
Speaker 1: because this could be offensive. Let's not a stop, right,

1449
01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:25,880
Speaker 1: you stop where we're ahead. Yeah, I don't want to

1450
01:13:26,040 --> 01:13:29,679
Speaker 1: do that. Yeah, let's let's stop with kiki kei meaning

1451
01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:32,720
Speaker 1: in English. Let me see. Yeah, this is only from

1452
01:13:32,760 --> 01:13:35,040
Speaker 1: the Urban Dictionary. I guess it's our thing. I feel

1453
01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:37,439
Speaker 1: like you're happy. Black History Months is only a few

1454
01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:40,800
Speaker 1: years old, though, is it. Yeah, we haven't been saying

1455
01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:43,080
Speaker 1: it for years. It's not like an old school term. No,

1456
01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:46,519
Speaker 1: it's got in the Urban Dictionary in Yeah, that's I

1457
