Speaker 3 (01:36):
And so today we are going to have an author
who is also a joy strategist. It's something she actually

Q Tip wrote Benita apple Bum about is her wow.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
So that should be interesting for y'all.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
And of course let's shine a light on an eight
hundred ninety two fifty one fifty is a number. That's
eight hundred two ninety two fifty one fifty. Call us
up and let us know who you want to celebrate.
Its way up with Angela Yee.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
Shame.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
I'm gonna shin.

Speaker 6 (02:21):
Turn your lights on, y'all, lights on it, spreading love
to those who are doing greatness.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Shine the light on, shine a light on.

Speaker 6 (02:30):
It's time to shine a light on them.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Yes, it is way up with Angela Yee. I'm Angela
Yee and Jasmine brand is here.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
Yes I am.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Good morning Jazz and very happy Tuesday. Manos on the way.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Traffic is uh crazy, apparently a little crazy, But I
want to shine a light on Damon John. We're getting
ready for a Black Entrepreneur's Day and that's going to
be happening at the Apollo Theater. But what I love
about it is that he actually does give people capital.
He also helps you with pitches, and he's from Shark Tanks,
so he should know about the best pitches. He has
these game changer conversations and all of that is really

(03:04):
important to anybody that is starting a business or has
a business to get to the next level. They have
these grants from the NAACP. So they give over two
hundred thousand dollars in grants. That's a lot of money,
and money is very helpful when you have a business,
because trust me, I've been using my own money to
fund all my businesses and I wish that I had
some grants. But I think things like this are important.

(03:25):
This year, he has Whoopie Goldberg, Yeah, Shaq Sedec, the entertainer,
Anthony Anderson, and Rick Ross coming to do some one
on one discussions, some heavy hitters.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
So Damon John is going to actually moderate these conversations,
and you know, I think that's going to be pretty
exciting for people. This is November first at the Apollo Okay, dope,
all right. They've also partnered with Shopify. There's a Shopify
pitch competition and so there's going to be three new
Shopify merchants that have a chance to win twenty five
thousand dollars and also get mentorship.

Speaker 4 (03:57):
Oh that's important, right, So.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
A lot of times I think people need to do both,
Like for a lot of organizations, give money, but also
mentorship because that's really important too as far as how
to bring your business to the next level, all right,
So shout out to you, Damon John for Black Entrepreneurs
Day putting that together.

Speaker 2 (04:14):

His hat. Yeah, like I was the only one laughing.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
Yeah, yeah, that was me. That was mean.

Speaker 13 (07:41):
Nobody thought that was funny. I think they probably just
I think he probably said looking on me.

Speaker 4 (07:46):
I don't know about that.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
I don't know if he said that.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
I mean funny Marco, you know, like I said, he
said he was uncomfortable and that he respects people on
the show, and he decided not to match their negative
energy on our south Side went on social media because
he got a lot of backlash from it.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Right, And here's what he had to say, like, if you.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Were scared, I can't help how your mama raised you.

Speaker 14 (08:08):
This is why I stay off because no matter what
it is, make me the bad guy on this month,
y'all stop being just stay away from me broke.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
That's it.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
Thanks so far to get on there and say he's scared,
because they say he getting.

Speaker 11 (08:19):
Even all that others it's like you are you ain't
have to put it out not maybe you really want.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
Oh my god, I should like ge Herbal winning a
little harder than south Side, and.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
People were saying south Side was fine, and then Gee
Herbal got there, and I think sometimes you know, the
interviews are funny, yeah, right, you know, in general funny.
Marco's known for doing funny interviews. Yes, and so maybe
it was just to trying to roast him. Yeah, type
of situation.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
You know. So I don't know.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
How would you love handle at Angela if I was,
if I was funny Marco? Yeah, I see, I'm not
that type of interviewer. Yeah, so I don't think that
that would have happened. I've actually interviewed Geehebal and Southside
together on lip service, Yeah, and it was a pretty funny.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
So they ain't playing with you like that? Basically, Well,
I think I like this.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
Style of interview that funny Marco does is it's kind
of a joke, kind of like how Offset went on
with Bobby Altof and kind of jokes on her and
played her. So I think it felt like the same
type of vibe, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
So maybe they were just trying to be funny, and maybe.

Speaker 4 (09:24):
He wasn't in bad He wasn't in on it because.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
It is well he posted, it's nothing but respect to
both of them. We both learn love and move on. Okay, okay, all.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
Right, all right now DC young Flyers mourning the loss
of his sister, He said, in.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
A matter of of a year, I lost three people.
My cousin on last August, my girl and May and
my sister a couple of days ago. You just got
to stick through the mission, knowing that God got you
and he will grant you the strength. Remember he parted
the Red Sea and not make it disappear. The problems
are still there. He just allowed you to get through.
Make sure you stay righteous, don't hold no grudge because
God is love and love will always overcome adversity.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
Stay prayed, man. We are sending so much love to
DC young fly.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
He has really definitely been through a lot and still,
you know what, working through it all.

Speaker 4 (10:09):
Staying positive. I would be in a fetal position somewhere crying.
I can't imagine going through all.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
This, I know, and he's still like just a lot
to do with. Yeah, all right, so much love to you.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
Now.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
Prod from the Fujis is seeking a new trial. He
says the former attorney used AI for the closing arguments. Okay,
all right, so you know he was convicted in April
on charges of conspiring to make straw campaign donations, witness tampering,
and acting as an unregistered foreign agent for China, but
now he wants a new trial. His defense attorneys, he says,

(10:41):
used artificial intelligence to compile their final argument for the jury.
So what he's saying is that they use this program,
this AI program, to draft the closing argument, ignoring the
best arguments and conflating the charge schemes. And he then
publicly boasted that the AI program turned hours or days
of legal work into seconds. That's what he's saying about

(11:01):
his lawyer, David Kenner.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
Okay, so because of this he wants a new trial.

Speaker 13 (11:06):
Yes, did you say that he was a confidential informant?
Didn't he admit to being.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
A I don't know if he is. I don't know.
May no, you would probably know more than that, but yeah,
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
They said, didn't you say that?

Speaker 2 (11:19):
I don't recall that part. I just remember that.

Speaker 4 (11:22):
He maybe doing a break. We'll do a deep diving.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah, we'll do a deep dive.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
All right, Well that is your yet, And when we
come back, we have about last night. That's where we
discussed what we did last night and how that relates today.
It's way up at Angela yee.

Speaker 6 (11:34):
So about last night? Last last night I went down.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
It's way up at Angela yee, Angela yee. Jasmine brand
is here.

Speaker 4 (11:43):
Not any brand. I'm my own brand.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
Mano is here, No man And I hate that. Y'all.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
Do not watch Love is Blind because last it finally
caught up and watch the reunion episode.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
It came out on Sunday, I believe.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
So last night I was watching the reunion to see, like,
you know, that's how you find out who's still together,
who's not. Ucha opted out of going to it, which
is fine.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
I don't really care for him, I think.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
But I was Izzy is on there.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
It's interesting it because I was watching this reunion and
on the stage where Izzy was Stacy the woman that
he was with, but she said no at the altar
and they they still, you know, supposedly loved each other,
but they broke up after that happened. But Lydia was there,
and then the other woman, Johnny was there. Now Lydia
and Johnny both wanted to be with Izzy. He was

(12:33):
in hide. Yeah he's t ha to but remember they
can't see you on Love is Blind personality, so they
liked his personality, you know something about that. But anyway,
I was looking at Lydia and Milton. I think they're
the only couple that is still together. They got they
ended up getting married on the show nice and I

(12:54):
was like, that's interesting because for Milton to see like
Lydia actually did it, it was like all this drama
because she before the show, and he feels like she
found an email seeing that he was going on the
show and went through his followers and saw the producers
for Love is Blind, and that she went on the
show to try to reconnect with him, and then she
also wanted to be with Izzy, but then Milton actually

(13:16):
ended up marrying her.

Speaker 4 (13:19):
Yeah, that's she's different.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
That's dedication.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
Yeah, but she definitely went on there with the intention
of finding somebody and getting married and she made it happen.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
That's right, girl, follow through. She she's dedicated.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
So you know, just putting that out there. If you
guys ever decided you want to watch man, it looks horrified.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
I don't even know what you're talking about.

Speaker 13 (13:40):
Let us blind when you gotta you gotta realize when
you speak about love is blind, like you really get
really watching your eyes light up.

Speaker 4 (13:50):
The only time she comments on the Jazmine brand post
on Instagram is if.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
It's about blind.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
I didn't even comment on the Jazmine brand because there
was a post with uh Ali. She was the one
that hooked up with on the show or you know,
they connected in the pods and he was Remember I.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
Played the video for you guys.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
He was talking about her past and had she ever
cheated and then.

Speaker 4 (14:12):
Didn't like it. I didn't like that, and.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
So I just said she was just too good for
him anyway. But anyway, aside from all of that, I
also made tacos yesterday in advance of Taco Tuesday. And
it brings us to this topic because sometimes you eat
certain things it will make you fart, it will make
you Tacos are one of those things when you're on
a date, right, or you're with somebody and you know

(14:37):
later that night stomach might stuck grumbling.

Speaker 4 (14:40):
Is it the cheese and the tacos or what?

Speaker 2 (14:41):
It could be? Anything? If you have beans.

Speaker 4 (14:43):
Sometimes you know that mad.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
Is are there certain things made her? You know if
you eat it that you're going to be.

Speaker 4 (14:50):
It's pretty much.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
And then you've already went three times today, so.

Speaker 4 (14:53):
That's a lot.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
Pretty much. I'm pretty much.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
Going Sometimes coffee for people, Yeah, coffee. Coffee does it
for me sometimes whatever.

Speaker 5 (15:00):
You know.

Speaker 3 (15:01):

Speaker 3 (15:06):

Speaker 3 (15:42):

Speaker 5 (19:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (19:01):
You take a dump in the bathroom.

Speaker 15 (19:04):
Yeah, that's love.

Speaker 16 (19:07):
All Okay, see y'all later.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
Hell, Diamond, how are you?

Speaker 10 (19:12):
I'm good?

Speaker 3 (19:13):
So we're talking about pooping in farting in front of
your partner. Is this something that brings you closer together
or will it make you break up?

Speaker 2 (19:20):
Pick a side?

Speaker 1 (19:21):
It brings us closer together.

Speaker 5 (19:23):
I gotta tell you a quick story.

Speaker 11 (19:24):
My boyfriend one time put a fart inside of a jar.

Speaker 8 (19:31):
Jar and he said, bab smell it.

Speaker 16 (19:34):
I'm telling you that smell this.

Speaker 7 (19:36):
I opened a jaw and the dogs go thought smell.

Speaker 9 (19:39):
Was in the jar.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
That's disgusting.

Speaker 7 (19:42):
Yes, but it brings you closer together.

Speaker 5 (19:45):
And will you start using the bathroom a round minutes?

Speaker 17 (19:48):
What now?

Speaker 1 (19:49):
Y'all could keep that?

Speaker 9 (19:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (19:50):
I don't know about the fart in the jar thing.
I feel like I could do it out.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
You love that though?

Speaker 2 (19:57):
Would you do that back to him.

Speaker 7 (19:59):
Yes, I'm trying to get him back down.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
I have found.

Speaker 9 (20:04):
That they like that.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
That's their love language. You gotta do the you gotta
put the covers over his head.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
All right, let us know how that y'all a real
funky one. Gross and coffee and tackles and you about
some of that life. No, I wouldn't purposely do that.
But have I fighted in my sleep?

Speaker 11 (20:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 15 (20:30):
I have?

Speaker 2 (20:31):
Hey, Ted, how are you?

Speaker 5 (20:32):
I'm doing great this morning?

Speaker 3 (20:34):
Sounds like you already put it. So what do you
think about fighting or pooping in front of your partner?
Is it being you closer together? Would you mind if
she did it to you farting?

Speaker 5 (20:47):
I don't mind. That's a natural thing. But I've been
married a little over four years and my wife refuses
to close the door when she goes to poop, and
we have a door to the toilet. She still won't
close it, no matter how.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
Many Maybe she's clostophobic.

Speaker 4 (21:02):
Why won't she close it? What does she say when
you ask her to close it?

Speaker 5 (21:05):
Uh? She will say okay, and it just never happened?

Speaker 2 (21:10):
Does it? Does it feel like?

Speaker 5 (21:12):
I just feel like certain things should be private? And
that's one of them.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Do you close the door?

Speaker 16 (21:17):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (21:17):
I do every time, man, I always listen to see.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
All right, all right, well there you go. But you
still love her, so apparently it's okay.

Speaker 4 (21:24):
Oh definitely, Yeah, it's not a deal breaker.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
Just please close that door. You should go in there
and spray her like the poop spray.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
While she's in there.

Speaker 4 (21:32):
Why should he knows he wants her to do it
so bad she don't want to do it.

Speaker 9 (21:35):
I feel like a.

Speaker 5 (21:36):
Payback would be for me to sprinkle the seat a
little bit, and maybe she'll understand where I'm coming from.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
She sprinkled the pee on the seat?

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Y'all do that anyway?

Speaker 7 (21:47):
I never do.

Speaker 5 (21:48):
I've always looked at the seat because if I.

Speaker 4 (21:50):
Don't do that, he gives me he's a very tidy
clean guy.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
By she don't get nothing about it, all right, but
thank you.

Speaker 7 (21:59):
Day?

Speaker 2 (22:00):
All right?

Speaker 3 (22:00):
Well that was pick aside. It seems like it's not
a big deal. Nobody's gonna break up with you, you
know for doing that. You're not gonna break up over it.
Cooping and farting in front of your partner.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
I'm going from day one, okay, man, No shesh and.

makeup that was on first take, and he posted, appreciate
the concern over my makeup this morning on first take.
This was her first time doing my makeup and it
was a little heavy. My appearance is important, not as
important as my takes. Hopefully that takes for great as usual.
It's pretty funny. Yeah, and here is what he had

(23:06):
to say about it today.

Speaker 11 (23:08):
This lady added some makeup that I don't normally wear,
and I'm a dark skinned fella, and so she put
on a little heavy.

Speaker 9 (23:15):
Listen. I saw the jokes about looking like media juwanna man.

Speaker 11 (23:19):
Yeah, they killing me today, Like you took a bod
knife and spread that thing on your board face. I

His lips look uh, it looks like he has like
like a tent, like it's like a burgundy left.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
But he did say she'll get better with my makeup.
Isn't the end of the world.

Speaker 4 (23:41):
I like how he handled it. Yeah, and he didn't
bash her, you know what I mean, and didn't let
anyone else basutu. He said his people wasn't paying attention.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
And sometimes, you know, still.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
Look a little different on camera at times than it does.
Like you might be like, all right, I look amazing,
and then you get on camera and you're like, whoa.

Speaker 4 (23:58):
It's most of the hair too, feeling. It just looks
a little different. It's just I think it's just shine.
It's it's tough. It's tough to be on camera.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
You had to wear makeup on camera, never you would
it not even powder because it's powder, because it's not up.
Though yeah, technically it's still make up, not makeup part
of makeup.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
No no, no makeup, all right.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
Tarah Owens was struck by a car after an argument
during a pickup game.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
This happened last night, according to TMZ Sports.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
Law enforcement says he was balling out Nicola Bassa's area
and he got into an argument with somebody on the
court and the man got into a car and drove
right into him. Fortunately, he did not require medical attention,
and officers did take a report for.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
The assault with the deadly weapon.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
No arrest had been made, but an investigation does remain ongoing.
You're right, Jasmine, just like dying right now, all right,
So that's unfortunate. Imagine you get into argument and somebody
really gets in a car and tries to run you over.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
That could have went really bad. Act too.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
You gotta go somewhere else. So something winning her windpipe?

Speaker 2 (25:08):
Yeah, I don't know what just happened to Jasmin?

Speaker 9 (25:10):

you okay?

Speaker 4 (25:51):
Jason Oh, I don't know what happened that those mints
were strong?

Speaker 1 (25:54):
All right?

Speaker 3 (25:55):
Now, Britney Spears has finally revealed why she cut off
all her hair ahead of her conservatorship. You know, she
has her book coming out on Tuesday. Let's see if
she can roll it out like Jada Pickett Smith as
were now her memoir The Woman and Me. According to
an excerpt in a memoir, she says, I've been eyeballed
so much growing up. I've been looked up and down

(26:16):
and people telling me what they thought of my body
since I was a teenager. Shaving my head and acting
out were my ways of pushing back, she said. Once
her father took control of her personal medical and financial
affairs in two thousand and eight, she no longer had
to say in her day to day life. I was
made to understand that those days were now over. I
had to grow my hair. Out and get back into shape.
I had to go to bed early and take whatever
medication they told me to take, all right. And she

(26:40):
also talks about how the Conservative Ship stripped her of
her womanhood. She said that became more of an entity
than a person on stage. I had always felt music
in my bones and my blood. They stole that from me.
And she also discusses going to the salon and asking
and asking Esther, who owned the hair.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Cutting studio, to shave off here, and she wouldn't do it,
so she grabbed the clippers herself and did this shut yes,
while Papa Razzi was watching and taking pictures.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
All right, well that is your yet, and when we
come back, we have under the radar. I hate the
fact that Jasmine's dying.

Speaker 9 (27:14):
And we're not.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
We got eut to do.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Free Jasmine.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
We have to finish et, all right, all right, when
we come back, we have under the radar. These are
the stories that are not necessarily in the headlines, but
they are just as important. They are flying under the radar.
We want to make sure that you know about them,
and we have some pretty good ones for you guys today.
Imagine getting fired because you tried to expend something that
you're not supposed to expense.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
All right, we'll tell you who this happened to.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
It really wasn't even that much money that he was
trying to expense, but he still got fired. I guess
it's the principle of it. It's way up at Angela Yee.
Under the radar is next.

Speaker 6 (27:50):
News edition in the news that relates to you. These
stories are flying under the radar.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
All right.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
It's way up at the Angela Ye. I'm Angela Yee.
Jasmine brand is here, not just any brand on my
own brands in the building, and it's time for these
under the radar stories.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
All right.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
A teacher in Miami for fourth graders actually made a mistake,
and wow, this is a mistake. But she tried to
play a movie for the kids, a Halloween surprise, and
she played Winnie the Pool Honey and Blood. Oh I
saw that too, right, that is not a sweet kids movie,

(28:27):
horror film.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
That movie was wild, Like why would they even make
that movie?

Speaker 13 (28:30):
Why would they take those cutterly Disney characters and tournament
into like a.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
A lot of these.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
Crazy stories actually are kind of morbid the way that
they were made to begin with.

Speaker 4 (28:43):
Did you guys, see this one this uh wear pants?
He does not, he doesn't have.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
He wears a crop top.

Speaker 4 (28:55):
It's a Madrid for sure. He also doesn't have a
belly button either.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Yeah, so I'm piglet. That's an insult. Lit this just crazy,
all right? Well?

Speaker 3 (29:08):
The ahead of the school sent the following statement to
CBS News. The Academy for Innovative Education has become aware
that a segment of a horror movie was shown the
fourth graders that was not suitable for the age group
of Our administration promptly addressed this issue directly with the
teacher and has taken appropriate action to ensure the safety
and well being of students.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
They actually even have to have a.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
Mental health counselor and meet with students who expressed concern.
I was watching horror movies in fourth grade though, I'm
not gonna lie, but they would have been mad if
a teacher at.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
School would show it was a mistake though, right was it?

Speaker 10 (29:41):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (29:42):
I mean, if you see Winnie the Pool real quick,
just think, you know, honey, it could be blood. It's
the blood part.

Speaker 3 (29:48):
The movie played for twenty to thirty minutes and then
the teacher shut it off and said that the students
were allowed to pick a movie to watch and they
selected Blood and Honey.

Speaker 4 (29:56):
Oh, they probably teach you why he wasn't paying attention.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
I know, like, oh, this is the ex all right now.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
Wellness enhancing offerings in the workplace are not just good
for employees' health, but they can also boost workers motivation
and sustain productivity. According to a recent report, with companies
large and small gradually demanding their employees return to the office,
now is the time for employers to rethink a future
of work that incorporates flexible working options with regard to
work hours and locations, and that places more emphasis on

(30:25):
benefits enhancing employees' well being. So basically, this healthy work
life balance is essential for reducing stress, preventing burnout, and
fostering a fulfilling, enjoyable life.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
Things are so different than they used to be.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
You know what, and being a business owner or just
having my own site and having a staff, one of them.
Always my biggest concern is burnout. I'm always really like,
I don't want them to get burned u especially they're
really good. I'm like, oh my god, I hope she
doesn't get burned out.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
I just remember coming up in this business, it was
like you have to work nons I used to work
seven days a week. Yeah, like first person in the office,
last person to leave, working on the weekend. They did
not care care like somebody else will take your spot
if you don't do it. But it's a different day
and age now where people realizing what easier too. Yeah,

(31:10):
people are definitely like and I think people are now
with the pandemic, used to being able to have a
more flexible like this can still get done and I don't.
I don't have to be there eighteen hours a day
where you see my face and feel like you can
keep tabs on what I'm doing. Right, all right, there's
a new trend. Americans are going out to dinner earlier
than ever before. Love that, yes, time like five o'clock. Yeah,

(31:33):
dinner looks four and five.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
I love it. I don't like dinner that's too early.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
It's actually better for you.

Speaker 4 (31:39):
It must if I eat too late, like eat too late,
like nine o'clock late.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
Yeah, So it's actually a better thing.

Speaker 3 (31:46):
Right because of again the hybrid work situation, So because
thirty four percent of people work from home most of
the time, they can leave the house a lot earlier,
and sometimes if you've been working from home, you want
to get out and so you're like, let's go in
the house all day.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
And even Broadway has adapted to this new trend.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
They actually have scheduled performances earlier in the day, more
early screenings, canceling those that run late at nights. And
this could benefit our collective health because people who eat
all their meals within a ten hour window and finish
dinner earlier in the day are less hungry, burn calories faster,
and have a lower risk for obesity.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
So it's good for a lot of reasons. Yeah, they
would tell you not.

Speaker 3 (32:23):
To eat after a certain time, like seven o'clock at
night if you're trying to lose weight.

Speaker 4 (32:26):
So and man, know you're trying to fight obesity, right,
so you need you need to eat dinner earlier too.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
Mano's lost a lot of weight.

Speaker 4 (32:32):
I got the bottom of cookie yesterday.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
We should order a cake to celebrate, all right, Well,
that is you're under the radar stories now, don't forget.
Grace Harry is going to be joining us today.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
She is the author of The Joy Strategists, and she
is a joy Strategist formerly. A lot of people knew
her from being married to Usher actually, and that was
a yeah. That was definitely her not wanting to be
in the spotlight, but being forced there. And she also
is Benita apple Bum. Tell me the song about Grace Harry.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
But where did he get the name from?

Speaker 2 (33:04):

Speaker 4 (33:05):
You gotta put me on Banita her name?

Speaker 1 (33:10):

Speaker 3 (33:10):
Well, we also have the Way Up mixed at the
top of the hour. It's way up with Angela Yee.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
It's like the talk like the Angela like they Angela gee.

Speaker 5 (33:21):

Speaker 3 (33:25):
Yes, it is way up with Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee.
And Jasmine Brand is here.

Speaker 4 (33:29):
I'm not I'm my own brand.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
Mano's in the building and let's get into some yet Now.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
Geez is on Taman Hall and he's talking about his
memoir and surviving street life but also the trauma and
anxiety that he has faced.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Here's what he had to say.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
I didn't know I was depressed for like eight years
of my life. Straight.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
You know what were you feeling during those eight years?

Speaker 9 (33:52):
Man?

Speaker 14 (33:52):
Like you wake up, you want to go back to
sleep forever? And I was leaning into my vices. And
that's what street life does to you, you know what
I'm saying. And it's like, once you lose two, three,
four hundred people like going forgever you get number right,
And I wasn't able to get in touch with my
emotions and I was wondering why.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
You know, thank God for my kids, but it was
a time where I was just cold.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
I can't even imagine.

Speaker 4 (34:16):
Eight years is a long time. And you know the
number of people that he mentioned.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
That's four hundred people.

Speaker 4 (34:21):
That's a lot.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
It's a lot of people to lose, to have to
go through in life, and to not to be depressed
and not know what it is.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
Yeah, See, depression sneaks up on you. I can understand that, right.

Speaker 13 (34:32):
So it's like you don't even know you depressed because
you don't feel no motivation, You don't you don't find
a solution and things.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
You only see the problem and.

Speaker 4 (34:39):
It becomes normal for you. You feel normally.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
You don't realize that you depressed. I feel like I've
been through that before, all right now.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
Shout out to Michoelin Thomas. She shot the Essence November
December issue and the cover of that issue actually features
Oprah and the cast of the Color Purple Toajji her
Fantasia and Danielle Brooks.

Speaker 3 (34:59):
Wow, it's a beautiful cover. Beautiful cover. Michaeleane Thomas is
an amazing artist. By the way, she has an art
show that I went to the opening here in New York.
But beautiful, beautiful cover. So they definitely picked up that
Essence issue all right. Now, Drake and j Cole first
Person Shooter. That song has hit number one on the
Billboard Hot one hundred. That is his thirteenth number one song.

(35:21):
It ties him with Michael Jackson for the most number
ones by a solo mall artist.

Speaker 4 (35:24):
I like that song too. This picture that he put
up is a little.

Speaker 3 (35:28):
Michael Jackson wearing an obl sweatshirt and wearing a hold
an iPhone.

Speaker 4 (35:32):
Yeah, take yourself a picture in the mirror. Okay, it's funny,
though it is funny.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
Hair is flown, real picture, Mike.

Speaker 4 (35:38):
Yes, it's really wawless all right.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
And Drake, by the way, he has landed every song
from For All the Dogs in the Hot one hundred,
twenty four songs on the Hot one hundred okay, and
the album so more than four hundred thousand copies in
the first week.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
Tyler Perry is.

Speaker 3 (35:52):
Buying a house for the ninety three year old woman
who was pushed out by developers. According to TMZ, Josephine
Wright is her name. It's a bedroom home, and so
he's building her a five bedroom home in South Carolina
to replace the one that she's living in with her grandchildren,
which is all at the center of a land dispute.
So pledge and support. That's my grandmother's name. Yeah, Josephine Baker,

(36:17):
all right, And I Spice is teasing what her debut
album will sound like. She did the cover story for
a complex with Hype Williams by the way doing the photography,
and she said she's going to stay true to her
roots in the droll music scene. She said, New York Drill, vibes,
club music, Jersey Club. I would say, I'm bringing drill
to New Heights, and I feel like it would make
sense to incorporate a lot of that in an album
because of course there's trapping everything else, but so many

(36:39):
people are doing it and it's so saturated right now, Okay,
all right, well that is your yet and when we
come back, I want to talk about Dame Dash and
this interview that he did, he said he is ready
to have a sit down with jay Z and to
discuss their falling out, but he has certain conditions that
have to be met. He sat down with day t

(36:59):
One Thomas from Vibe Ed and She Love Him on
the CEO Show. It's an hour long conversation and he
talks about a lot of different things, but he talks
about wanting to have that reconciliation. We'll discuss that when
we come back, because I'm just wondering for you guys, like,
how are you when it comes to past relationships that
may have gone sour?

Speaker 2 (37:20):
Are you open to perhaps working things out? All right?
It's way up at Angela Yee. We'll discuss when we
come back. You way up with It's way up at Angela.

Speaker 3 (37:32):
Ye, I'm Angela, Ye, Jasmine Brand is here, Yes, Maino's here,
no man, and we're talking about Dame Dash now. Recently,
he sat with Daytwin Thomas on the CEO Show and
he talked about his former partner Jay Z and if
he would talk to him again, and here's what he
had to say.

Speaker 18 (37:52):
So where I'm at now is that if Rockefeller and
the ones that weren't billionaires want to get money on
the right terms.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
I'm down and what meaning?

Speaker 18 (38:00):
What meaning? If Jay wants to have a conversation and
talk about the people that didn't make the money and
trying to help and.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
Do it on the terms, let's just stop in that
conversational phone call.

Speaker 18 (38:10):
I think because I'm doing my own thing and he's
doing his own thing, that we it's just not like
our I don't know, like, I don't know like and
again like there's things and I don't want to get
into it that morally I can't be.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
A part of.

Speaker 3 (38:21):
I don't know what that is, but I will say
in the interview, he did say he saw Jay Z
in person at a concert in la He said his
daughter wanted to go to the concert, so he had
somebody call him got tickets, and he said, he treated
me like a gentleman.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
We talked. He has it on tape.

Speaker 4 (38:35):
He said, fine, Yeah, it was cordial and that's all
we can ask for sometimes.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
But now I want to.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
Ask you guys, when it comes to past business relationships,
is there anybody that you know that you're like, Okay,
I would reconnect with that person and put the past behind.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
Rescue may probably not absolutely.

Speaker 3 (38:59):
Nothing, because I feel like in business you always end
up falling out with people.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
There's no way that you can keep things forever.

Speaker 3 (39:06):
Like the goal is if things don't work out, we
would love to amicably be able to move on and
go our separate ways, but sometimes it just doesn't happen.

Speaker 9 (39:14):
Right.

Speaker 13 (39:14):
But if there's not a personal relationship, then there ain't
really nothing to talk about, Angela, what do you think?

Speaker 3 (39:20):
Well, I would say the way that I am once
i'm over it, I'm over it because it takes a
lot and usually I'm not the person that I'm a
very more than fair person when it comes to business.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
And so if you've done certain things that.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
I've lost the trust, right like talked crazy about me
to people and it got back to me because there's
people that I've like even told them like, look I
heard X, Y and Z. And if there are certain
things you've done business wise that I don't trust you,
if it's something that's not on that level where it's
not a because I find that people who talk about

(39:54):
you because they're you know, don't like the position that
you're in, or you can tell that there's some type
of animosity you can't trust having those people around you
or in your circle. If I can't trust you to
tell you anything or let you in my life and
we're doing business together, then we can't be friends. I
can do business with you if you know certain things,
but I wouldn't want to be partners with you.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
I can do things like you can book me for something.

Speaker 9 (40:18):
I'm okay with that.

Speaker 2 (40:20):
Money.

Speaker 13 (40:20):
Anything that you're doing deliberty to try to cheer me
down or you're doing it purposefully, it's nothing to talk
about and it's no U turns.

Speaker 3 (40:28):
Yeah, if I feel like if there's some type of
disdain for me and you have issues and you don't
want to see me win and any and I know
there any opportunity you get to tear me down, you will.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
And that might have to go somewhere else. Yeah, we
might have to take that someone else.

Speaker 2 (40:42):
My God, where is that?

Speaker 3 (40:43):
People that you know that don't want to see you
succeed and will celebrate when you when they think you
have a loss or they think that something happened, and
they will celebrate that and be like I knew it.
I told you that person. And you're like, I don't
need any that type of energy around me, Yeah, absolutely not.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
What about you men, you have business partners and things
like that, and people that you've had to work with.

Speaker 4 (41:05):
Yeah, I don't know. I feel like I forget, I forgive,
but I just won't. I just know how to deal
with them, like I'll never forget, Like you know, they
move like.

Speaker 3 (41:14):
That, and I feel like sometimes it can never be
the same business with them again, because it's worse if
it's your friend you did business with.

Speaker 4 (41:21):
I've never really been burned like that by a friend,
you know. And also I don't have a ton of
friends either, you know what I'm saying. So like, I've
never really been burned. I mean, I've been burning business
a little bit, but I haven't really been like some
of the things that you've experienced, Angela, I have never
really experienced that, you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (41:36):
Yeah, So sometimes you got to just cut your losses
and move on, and that to me, it always like
fuels me to be more successful. Yeah, it does, because
you're like, Okay, lets and learn and you've got to
learn your lesson. You can't keep doing the same mistakes
over and over again. So for the two of them,
we'll see, because they really did build something huge together Rockefeller. Yeah,
they both are doing their own thing and you know

(41:57):
who knows, and they were a lot younger when this happened.

Speaker 2 (42:01):
All right, well that is just us trying to figure
this out.

Speaker 3 (42:04):
This came out of U t uh dam Dass talking
about wanting to resolve his dispute with jay Z.

Speaker 2 (42:10):
All right, when we come back, we do have a.

Speaker 3 (42:11):
Special guest joining us, Grace Harry, The Joy Strategist. That
is her book, and she is a Joy Strategist, but
she's been in the public eye for her relationships, but
she's also had quite a past as far as being
a celebrity chef. In addition to that, she you know,
was married to Usher and a lot of people have
things to chime in on that. So we're going to

(42:32):
talk to her about a lot of different things. It's
the way you put Angela Ye gave Grace Harry.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
Next, Yeah, she back at it up with Angela Ye
is on What's up is way you put Angela Yee.
I'm Angela Yee.

Speaker 3 (42:47):
Jasmine brand is here and we have a first timer
on way yup at Angela Yee.

Speaker 2 (42:51):
Actually our first interview ever. Grace Harry is here.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
Thank you.

Speaker 15 (42:54):
I'm a virgin here.

Speaker 2 (42:55):
You know what I love about Grace. She's very honest
about a lot of things.

Speaker 3 (42:58):
So I want to have a whole, open, honest conversation
because for people listening, there's a lot of If you
google Grace and this has to be somewhat annoying to see,
like who you've been affiliated with always comes up, like
as one of the first things. It'll be like Usher's
ex wife, because you guys were together, you were married,
you ended up getting divorced.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
But even before that.

Speaker 3 (43:19):
I knew who you were because I knew your first
husband from doing a mix show Power Summit. Yes, Renee
the Best, Yes, Renee McClean, and that's who you have
your two children with, right, yes, correct, Okay, but before that,
you actually wore an executive chef yes for the Cosby Show.

Speaker 2 (43:34):
And you have a book and you are.

Speaker 3 (43:35):
A joy strategist. Yes, And I remember when we had
a conversation about this, I didn't know what it was.
So let's just start off with what a joy strategist does.

Speaker 15 (43:44):
What you do? I made it up, and I made
it up because we just got so specific about how
we're supposed to live our lives. And so there's a
way we're supposed to live life, to be in service
with other people and do the right thing and make
everyone happy, which is really against the strategy of our
own hearts.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
Doing things to please other people. I'm a people pleaser,
but sometimes you do have to say no.

Speaker 1 (44:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (44:06):
Well, I think the issue is that we're all people pleasers,
and for me this has been the worst and the
hardest part because I want everyone to be happy. I
want everyone to be but recently, yeah, I'll make a
plan because I'm like a five year old, I'm like, oh,
that sounds fun. Then the day of I want to
go to my bed.

Speaker 4 (44:19):
If you sound it fun at the time, no way.

Speaker 3 (44:21):
And that's the struggle for me is that there's a
lot of times I'm exhausted and I don't want to
do something, but I also feel like I shouldn't back
out of things because if I give my word, I
want people to feel like I'm still a good friend,
still reliable, because most of the time I don't feel
like doing things, but I know and then when I
get there, I'm okay.

Speaker 15 (44:39):
So I'm the same. I want to say yes to everything,
so now I have twenty four hours. I don't say
yes to anything until I've okay, you know what about
I let you know tomorrow. Can you give me twenty
four hours or up till what time? Can I tell
you so I can really fill into it. Another thing
is to create a negative space calendar. I had to
do this because I wanted to do all these things
for myself, and then all of a sudden, I've you know,

(45:00):
consulted on this and had this talk and saved this
person out, and there was no time for me. So
I created a negative space calendar. It has the time
I'm working, but it has like the dance class I
want to go to, and those are critical because what
would happen is if I didn't see anything in my
schedule and I didn't know how to say right, heah,
then I didn't know how to say no. So now
I look at that true schedule. You know you have

(45:21):
a nap in there, lunch with yourself, you're taking a
morning walk, whatever the hell it is that makes you
feel good. And then you can't say yes to things
until you've checked all the boxes.

Speaker 2 (45:30):
For Angela listen.

Speaker 3 (45:31):
You can find some of these tools and tricks in
the Deui Strategist. I also want to talk about You've
had so many public things happening. Do you pay attention
to what people say about you at all? You know,
I really fell in love with my third husband and
had worked with so many artists and traveled with them
in the world.

Speaker 15 (45:51):
Hushare OK. Yeah, so I just didn't even think that
that would become a thing. But meaning that about this
months weeks before that, I'm with two different an artists
who are big, big, big in the world, at the
same location in Malibu. We've been having our little I
thought secret whatever for like a year now. When those
first pictures came online in Malibu, I freaked out, and

(46:13):
I freaked out more about my own children. So yeah,
that was shocking to me. And what was shocking to
me was the level of hate. But you know what,
that's what made me write the book because I felt
deeply emotionally disturbed that people are so sad in their
own being that they want to strike out of people
they don't even know.

Speaker 4 (46:30):
I mean, you were with Usher, I mean you were
married to Usher, like you had to think that people
were going to be fascinated with you.

Speaker 15 (46:36):
It wasn't a place that was comfortable for me. I
loved him and I loved what we were building, and
I loved all the philanthropic things we were doing, but
that version of a world that's aspirational not knowing me
because of the outside, I didn't want to be a
part of that.

Speaker 3 (46:50):
Jasmine brand is here and we are talking to Grace Harry.
She is the do I strategist. Were you also reluctant
even in the beginning of your relationship to take it
to that level?

Speaker 2 (46:59):
Yes side of work like okay.

Speaker 4 (47:01):
Oh yeah, that that's a big deal work, and then
it crosses over.

Speaker 15 (47:06):
Well, I felt like I'd done it smart because I
worked the label he brought in justin to sign, so
I didn't work with him in that way.

Speaker 4 (47:13):
He was and then I quit.

Speaker 15 (47:15):
I had a friend who had a who killed took
his life, and I did not enjoy the way it
was handled, and I couldn't be in a space anymore
that didn't support human life as the number one thing.
So I didn't feel so much that It was more
that I was worried about my own kids. It was
a thing where all of a sudden, the media was
picking up them and talking about them, and that's when

(47:37):
I was like, this is not and I said, I will.
I don't need to ever see this person again if
this is going to hurt my children. And I remember
calling this Leaf and I said, you know, I'm so
sorry about this. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry about this,
and she said, what I got more followers?

Speaker 12 (47:51):
Like I was I.

Speaker 15 (47:53):
Of parenting, but she was so confident that she was
like it was the best six And then I hit
my son and he said, oh, I didn't even notice.
So you know, it was from that perspective that it
all started. But yeah, that was very difficult for me.

Speaker 4 (48:06):
What's your relationship like now with USh? Are you friends
or oh.

Speaker 15 (48:10):
Yeah, okay, I don't know friends. I don't want to
over romanticize that when you end and everyone's like, it's zy.
You know, it was complicated. I had a lot of
opinions about things posts and you know you do. But
in preparation for all of this, because I've never been
in this role. I've always been the grand supporter and
happy to be there. And if it weren't really about
joy and if I weren't feeling such a joyless world

(48:32):
right now, I wouldn't be doing this. And it's easy
for me to sit here and talk about this because
I understand that I have this platform, but I reached
out to everybody before I came to talk to you
all racially.

Speaker 1 (48:44):
No, we know each other.

Speaker 15 (48:46):
You see me in a weird situation.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
We're about to get into that too.

Speaker 10 (48:49):
Yeah, so.

Speaker 4 (48:52):
Let's go there there.

Speaker 15 (48:53):
So yeah, yeah, No, I mean definitely I wanted I
want him to read the book. Also, to be honest,
I didn't want my book usurped with a bunch of
social media. It's not about the book, right, So I
didn't want it to be the first opportunity. The last
time I've actually spoken was to write the letter about
why we were no longer going to be Yeah.

Speaker 2 (49:09):
So I didn't want the book to turn into a
usher and Grace. Yeah, that's not what this is about,
all right. Grace Harry is in the building.

Speaker 3 (49:16):
We're getting all into her personal life and what has
made her decide that she needs to find her joy
and live for herself more with Grace Harry, the Joys Strategists.

Speaker 2 (49:24):
When we come back, it's way up at Angela Yee.
You ride the way up with Angela Yee. What's Up's
about your brit Angela Yee? I'm here.

Speaker 3 (49:34):
Jason Brand is here and Grace Harry the Joys strategist
is here all right. And then since we do know
some people in common, a mayor aka Questlove right. So
I didn't realize this at first, but you guys eventually
did let people know that you guys were in a relationship.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
And I've never seen him do that before. He is
so like fiercely private.

Speaker 4 (49:53):
It seems very private.

Speaker 15 (49:54):
It's very private, you know, to be honest with you,
We've been friends for thirty something years, and we didn't
do this intentionally, but it felt very much like if
twenty nineteen we're both still hooked up, we'll meet it
earth at seventeenth Street and fourth and we'll get each
other straight because we've just ebbed and flows. It flowed
into each other's lives over and over and so many times,

(50:14):
and in really important times. I never would talk about
Benina Applebaum before because I didn't want to be you know,
in those days, like I didn't want to be a video, right,
you got my house's embarrassed, right.

Speaker 2 (50:23):
You wouldn't be in a video, you said. You were like,
I don't want anybody to know about this.

Speaker 15 (50:28):
I wanted to have a career, and in those days
it was really you had to really decide. So I
remember just moments where it was really time for me
to step up. You know, I've been being backstage at
a concert and the mirror being in there and saying
to someone, you know that she's blah blah blah. So
it really was a mutual time of help. He wanted
to do the movie. He was questioning whether he could
be a director, which is insane if you're a musical
director and a drummer and adj but whatever. And I

(50:50):
wanted to write a book. I wanted to lean into
that part and just didn't have any idea how to
do that. And so I think the reason that he
was so comfortable being so front and center with our
relationship was because it was so aspirational.

Speaker 3 (51:02):
Jasmine brand is here and we are talking to Grace Harry.
She is the do I strategist. Did it it all
occur to you, like, well, what if, you know, we
take this next step and things don't work out and
I lose my friend who I've been friends with for
thirty years.

Speaker 15 (51:14):
Well, because I'm an older lady. We really talked through
everything in the beginning, and most of the stuff he wrote,
the most beautiful I rejected, and Aldre can confirm that
I needed to have any celebrities quoting or saying any
about this book, because.

Speaker 2 (51:27):
We're all creators.

Speaker 4 (51:28):
I've seen what he wrote in here, Yeah, and he
wrote I cried when he wrote that, and so I
was really working on that.

Speaker 15 (51:34):
So one of the things I did right away was say,
this is where I am in truth. This is what
I can offer in truth. You know, it's not you're
not going to get ten percent of all my dazzle
show from the past, but you're gonna get the true me.
And also, I want to just stay upfront. I don't
believe that anything's forever. And so some people take that
as to sound unromantic, but to me, that's the most
romantic because if I can say to you, I can

(51:56):
give you a full grace today versus some thicctimcious, we're
gonna die together.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
You know.

Speaker 15 (52:02):
I was laughing that Disney and Landscape one of me,
because I crapped on Disney so hard in my in
the presentation about how we've all been taught that someone
completes you.

Speaker 2 (52:11):
And now you're whole.

Speaker 15 (52:12):
Yeah, if you really look at the princess stories, these
men had to work a lot. I had to climb
a tower and climb up someone's hair and dwarves and
tall task.

Speaker 4 (52:20):
So yeah, so that's the truth of it.

Speaker 15 (52:22):
And we deserve that, and I feel like the relationship
that we had was amplifying that for each other and
throughout our entire families all. Literally, my nephew had a
birthday two days ago. We have a family chat.

Speaker 1 (52:31):
I forget that.

Speaker 15 (52:32):
He like, he's everyone's congratulations and there's a mirror happy birth.

Speaker 8 (52:36):
Like, just.

Speaker 4 (52:38):
So, are you single now or are you dating? Or
do you have a man?

Speaker 15 (52:41):
I reject having a man. I don't have any any owners.
But I do have a friend.

Speaker 4 (52:45):
You have a friend.

Speaker 15 (52:46):
I'm more than a friend. Actually, he told me the
day I can't call him a friend.

Speaker 1 (52:49):
It's rude.

Speaker 4 (52:50):
So yes, but I am famous.

Speaker 15 (52:52):
No, yeah, I am not looking for anything in life
right now more than just someone who's in support of
the journey I'm on and I'm just learning to fall
in love with myself.

Speaker 2 (53:02):
This is new, okay.

Speaker 15 (53:03):
So that is the most important thing, is how I
treat myself right now, and anything that gets in the
way of that is an enemy to it.

Speaker 3 (53:10):
Well, listen, guys, we could go on and on and on.
Listen to joy Strategist. I'm so happy that we had
a chance to do this because I know we talked
about this like years ago, about you coming up here

I know a lot of people were very passionate today
about whether or not they poop or fart in front
of their significant other.

Speaker 1 (59:18):
You said, you do it all the time.

Speaker 3 (59:20):
But now I close the door when I go to
the bathroom, to be honest, and I would prefer he
does that as a matter of fact. Can tell me,
my man, if he has to just urinate, he'll leave
the door open and he doesn't turn the light on.
But when he has the poop, that's when the bone
goes with him. It's like he's going on a trip.
You guys take longer to get number two. They turn
the light on, close the door, you might see them

(59:42):
if something happens and they can't hear you, open it
and poke their head out a little like what.

Speaker 1 (59:47):
That said.

Speaker 4 (59:50):
Okay, he can shut it in. Most guys don't want
to keep the door open.

Speaker 2 (59:54):
You know I'm gonna leave.

Speaker 1 (59:58):

Speaker 10 (01:00:19):
I would rather not pass dance for anything in kind
of a man again, for some reason, we had just
sign it like it don't even matter to them. That
is the most unattracted thing in the world. No woman
wants to smell it.

Speaker 16 (01:00:32):
