And you know what since Teslin Figuero is guest hosting today,
when we come back with Yet, let's go right in
you ready already, let's talk about Deon Sanders. He says
he's never masturbated in his whole life. Lock it, we'll
talk about it. Yeah, Hey, Dan, knock it off.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
It's way up.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
They said in the rooms from industry, shade to all
of goss ap out send Angela's feeling that.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
It's way up with Angela yee, and I'm here with
my girl Teslin figure out guest hosting today in the
a in the building.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
All right, let's talk about.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Some things, says so Deon Sanders on his We Got
Time Today podcast that he has with Roxy Diaz was
talking to the host of Decisions Decisions, Mandy and Wheezy
and admitted that he has never in his life pleased himself.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Here's what he said.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
I've never in my life pleasure in your life, never
in my life.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
I'm so happy.

Speaker 6 (03:47):
My next statement, don't sign arrogant? What is it I
never had.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
As you are saying, what about the flag on the plate?

Speaker 5 (03:56):
Flag abody believe you? First of all, that includes preteen
Maybe they should have framed it right preteen teenager and
too bad for him. Masturbation is a great thing, great
way to go to sleep, great way to go to
improve So I'm so glad you said that stress relief
prevents prostate cancer, mood improvement, fights depression, have better sex.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
So it's unfortunate. I think masturbation is critically important.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
It's funny that he said he never had to because
most people are like, you don't have to, right, you
just do it because you're there, your hands there.

Speaker 5 (04:26):
Yeah, it's not about accessibility beyond it's about making sure,
especially for women, because we want to make sure you
get it right.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
You know exactly what our spot is. Nobody believes him
be on but whatever, we'll go with it. But knock
it off.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
Maybe he hasn't.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Who knows.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
I don't want to. I don't want to masturbation.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
Even as a kid.

Speaker 5 (04:41):
Maybe we should masturbation on shame him, though you should
absolutely masturbate.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Shame him.

Speaker 5 (04:47):
We have to promote masturbations. But it's critically important.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
Right, you got to throw the past to yourself. That's right,
all right now?

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Tracy Ellis Broth speaking about relationships and self love. She
was on the im O that's Michelle Obama and her
brother Craig Robinson, and she was talking about the fact
that she has no kids.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
And she's not married.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
And I believe when she says, because I agree with this,
you don't want to be with the wrong person, right,
that's an important thing too.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
But here's what she said.

Speaker 10 (05:18):
And you know, as much as grief does surface for
me around not having children and not having a partner,
I still wouldn't want the wrong partner.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
I'm not interested in that. You have to make my
life better.

Speaker 10 (05:31):
It can't just be you know, I'm in a relationship
to be in a relationship. So even though the grief
does emerge and that comes and I hold that, I
don't know. Sometimes I think of all of the things
I've done, the courage that I've had to have, and
what I've had to learn how to navigate as a
single person with no one to hide behind.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
Listen, what are you? Why are you looking like that look?
Also said she doesn't like dating apps.

Speaker 5 (05:57):
Yeah yeah, yeah, Well I think she's being honest around
her grief. What maybe you know sometimes from time to
time I'm saying I wish I would have did that,
But I appreciate her just really just standing in her singleness.
Now a comment is she just made about hiding behind
somebody married. I've never hid behind my husband. But I understand,
you know, what she's saying, but I respect that. I
think is really important that we stop shaming people who

(06:17):
decide they don't want to be married to have kids.

Speaker 4 (06:19):
It's not for everybody. I was married I had a kid,
but I.

Speaker 5 (06:22):
Feel people who say that's not necessarily the route that
I want to take just to say that I'm married, all.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Right, Sometimes people are in relationships just for the sake of.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
Right and invisible marriages, by the way.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
And the other thing she talked about is why she likes.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
Young I know this right.

Speaker 10 (06:36):
A lot of men my age are steeped in a
toxic masculinity and have been raised in a culture where
there is a particular way that a relationship look and
anything that starts to smell of that for me, I am.
I did enough of it where I was controlled and
felt like I was a possession for prize or I

(06:56):
have no interest in it.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
Okay, I'm not mad at that. All the ladies I
felt like I did a younger man.

Speaker 5 (07:02):
Well, she left something off the list, though, what you
didn't talk about how they be putting it down.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
I tried to scroll through.

Speaker 5 (07:08):
And you know, I'm the host of straight Shot, No
Chase of podcasts, so I want to be able to
let's really talk about it. I get the talks to meskline,
but what about the stamma she is she not talking
about that?

Speaker 3 (07:16):
Or she ain't go to or three times?

Speaker 10 (07:18):
Right?

Speaker 6 (07:19):
All right? What that is? Ya?

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yet when we come back about last night, test you've
been traveling, we're gonna talk about it. I'll talk about

I'm good as me and Tesla and we want to
hear your secret.

Speaker 11 (11:33):
So my secret is I have a tattoo of my
extra's name on my forearm, and for as long as
I can remember, every day I write Junior and black
and Junger under it. So my son thinks that the tattoo.

Speaker 10 (11:46):
Is for him.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
Oh my gosh. So you literally write Junior on your
arm every day.

Speaker 11 (11:52):
I'm literally gonna have to go get it patted at
this point because it's getting ridiculous to spend years.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
Why don't you want to do? Tell him?

Speaker 11 (12:01):
I don't know. I just I'm like, you know, I
never wrote a man's name on my body, and we
literally split up a couple months after being together. For
ten years after I've had it his name, so I've
just always told my son it was for him. One
of my daughters, my older daughters, was like, yeah, one
of my older daughters was like, I'm just put Junior

(12:21):
on it, and I'm not stuck doing it. I can't
take it off if I wear long sleeves, obviously, I
don't bother. But if I'm in around the house, I
always have it here.

Speaker 4 (12:30):
Are you going to get it covered up?

Speaker 11 (12:31):
I don't think i'll get it covered because I feel
like he was a big part of my life regardless,
but I think I'm definitely gonna put Junior. We have
four kids together, so I feel like that was a
big part of my life.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
You know, does he have you on him?

Speaker 12 (12:44):
Absolutely not.

Speaker 11 (12:44):
But he cheated on me and got her name on
his body.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Way, you still don't want to cover it? No, No,
she's gonna slap Junior under there? Well, thank goodness. Yes,
I do want to say if I was your other
kids that I'd be like, now, where's my name?

Speaker 5 (12:58):
Right?

Speaker 4 (12:58):
Feeling a way, I have eight.

Speaker 11 (13:02):
And four with him, so that would be a lot
of names. Listen, you guys want to do a family.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
Yeah, put a family. She put everybody's name on the tree.

Speaker 11 (13:12):
I'm gonna have.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
To all right, Well, thank you for calling. All right,
you're gonna take care hanging on him as color? How
are you?

Speaker 6 (13:19):
I'm good about yourself.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
I'm good as me and Testing it's a no judgment zone,
so we want to hear your secret.

Speaker 6 (13:24):
Okay, So I've been with my fiancee for like two
years and I had relations with her boss. I SLEWT
with her boss. But this was not when we were together.
This was several years ago.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
Oh okay, so she doesn't know and.

Speaker 6 (13:37):
Then no, no, no, but and the only reason I
found out is because I had to pick her up
from work and I've seen her, she's seen me, and
I'm hearing all these stories about how she don't like her.
So now it's like, do I say something?

Speaker 10 (13:48):
It was the past?

Speaker 6 (13:50):
Is it gonna bring up, you know, friction between us,
Like I don't know what I'm supposed to do with
that's the potion. So I just kept it to myself.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
That's a good question. Test A kind of feels like
he should have said something right away. It's going to
tell because now you kind of waited, But because what
if the boss tells him one day?

Speaker 4 (14:06):
Exactly?

Speaker 6 (14:07):
I understand that, but it was like I'm hearing all
the friction that she have with her, and it's like, damn,
I singing her. So it's like do I say something?
Do I not?

Speaker 5 (14:16):
You know, I don't want the friction between now, you
don't want the friction of I mean, don't tell her.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
I feel him though, because that might be something that
every time she's look at him, she'd be annoyed.

Speaker 4 (14:26):
And I want to know if I'm ever in the.

Speaker 6 (14:31):
Though it's not like this was something that was that's even.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
More reason why you should tell Yeah, you didn't do
anything wrong.

Speaker 4 (14:39):
I never in my relationships. I never want to be.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yeah, that's tough, but you know you got to figure
it out. We're not here to judge.

Speaker 4 (14:46):
No judging. You want to hit again? Can I ask
you that?

Speaker 6 (14:49):
No? No, no, no, don't play. I love, I love,
I love my future wife. I'm with her, you know
what I'm saying. Do everything that she's supposed to do,
and that's why I want to marry.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
All right, thank you? All right?

Speaker 2 (15:01):
Well that was tell us a secret eight hundred two
ninety two fifty one fifty. If you couldn't get through,
you could leave a message for last word. And when
we come back, me and Teslin are going to be doing. Yet,
we'll be talking about Ditty versus Cassie. We'll tell you
what did he's trying to access, what Cassie doesn't want
him to access, and what did he wants to exclude
from this trial.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
It's a lot going on.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
It's way up, yo, She's about to blow the lid
ab off this.

Speaker 6 (15:24):
But let's get it.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
Oh ye, angelus building at yet, Come and get the tea.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
Let me turn my mic on. What's up this way?

Speaker 2 (15:32):
Y'm with Angela. Ye, I'm here with Teslin. Figure out,
I'm in Atlanta. I gotta turn my own mics on.

Speaker 4 (15:36):
Who's VMan?

Speaker 3 (15:37):
I'm spoiled. I'm not used to doing it. Let's get
into this yet.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
So Cassie is asking the court to block Ditty subpoena.
Did He wants to get a copy of her personal
financial records, but also her memoir drafts that she has.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
Remember she was putting this.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
Book out, diaries, journals, notes, any of those things, any
communications about plans to publish or threatened to publish such
a document.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
They want to get that information too.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
So Cassie does not want that to happen to thinks
the court should dismiss that entirely.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
Why would he need that? I know you're about to
go to law school.

Speaker 5 (16:10):
Yeah, well, shout out to the work that I do
with Attorney Benjamin Crump of Black America's Attorney General. But
of course it's important that both sides get all the evidence.

Speaker 12 (16:18):
You know.

Speaker 5 (16:18):
I know people don't like it, but any attorney worth
of worth anything is going to ask to get everything dismissed,
ask that everything be put on the table. I certainly
want to know, you know, what they're trying to submit,
what evidence, and if it's biased, if it's not, you know,
if it's accurate, if it's not. So that's you know,
your typical, typical thing that any attorney would do.

Speaker 4 (16:36):
That makes any sense.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
I get it, okay, And you know, this is all
after Didy's attorney has alleged that Cassie had offered to
sell their rights to a book she had written about
their relationship for thirty million dollars to prevent its publication.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
That's what the allegation is. We don't know whether or
not that's true.

Speaker 5 (16:53):
Yeah, we don't know a lot of what's true until
we actually see the case. I'm looking forward to the
actual trial. You know, there's been so much information in
the balls. What's the evidence, what's not the evidence? What
are they really charging him with? Is it the physical
altercation that we all saw on the tape or is
it the sex trafficking, the consent, the non consent. So
I think the trial stars in May Angeline, so we'll

(17:14):
be able to kind of it's gonna be interesting. Also,
we get cameras in the courtroom, so I'm just interested
to see how all that plays out.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
You know, it's interesting because he is asking for a
two month delay, so we'll see if they're granted that.
But he's pleading not guilty to five federal accounts that
includes backeteering sex trafficking, So again that is supposed to
start next month. We'll see what happens if this delay
is granted. But Diddy's team is also trying to make
sure that they don't show that video in the hotel

(17:41):
where you can see that he's brutally beating her. He
went to that to be excluded from evidence ahead of
his trial, and that's because he said that was tampered with.
They said it was all to manipulated, sped up, and
edited to be out of sequence.

Speaker 5 (17:54):
Whether it was sped up or slow down like we
saw what we saw. But the question really comes to
is the charge is he on? Are they putting him
charging him with his domestic violence or for the racketeering
and the prostitution and all of that stuff. So what
is the actual charge? And that's still to me what's unclear.

(18:14):
Very similar with the O. J. Simpson case that I
watch religiously. You know, is it about domestic violence? Was
about domestic violence with O. J. Simpson, which could be
a molti to murder? Or is it about the murders?
So anytime you have domestic violence that's put in a mix,
especially with the tape, automatically, people that come sit in
the jury say I've seen it, so they're gonna come
in with the bias. So how do you get that
bias out? How do you actually look at the evidence.

(18:36):
And so that's the stuff that we don't know yet
and from what we hear on the blogs and the
evidence that we've seen, it's really more about his sex chap,
his sex trafficking liners right, which is totally different than
what's going to be right. So all of those things
when they all come together, we have to see how
it plays out.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
Right, and they may be showing these tapes also as
part of that, and Diddy side feels like the tapes
will be helpful, but the prosecutors fail.

Speaker 4 (19:02):
We don't know what's on there. Someone on the tapes,
the sex tapes.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Yeah, because on Diddy's behalf, they feel like, well, this
is gonna show consensual sex between adults and may be
a quote unquote freak off, but everybody was actively okay
with it. But I think the prosecutors are looking at
it as like you'll see that people were not willing participants.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
We don't know until we.

Speaker 5 (19:20):
Don't know, and then somebody can always say, well, I
was on the tape, but I still felt forced to.
I really don't. I didn't have a choice. And that's
where the prove. Yeah, that's where stuff kind of gets
real muddy. So so we'll see. I know they got
a lot of tapes that we know, a lot of tapes,
a lot of babies.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
All right, Well that is your yet and thank you
for that breakdown, Teslaen. That's why we love having you here.
And when we come back, we have we have our under.

Speaker 3 (19:43):
The radar stories.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
These are the stories that are not necessarily in the headlines.
They're flying under the radar, but you need to know
about them. Do you have a burkeing bag?

Speaker 5 (19:52):
I don't have no bags. Okay, dressful list for me,
shut out to row.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
Well we are going to talk about what's happening and
what are I madgic saying they're planning to do because
of these tarr and.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
Get it away.

Speaker 5 (20:05):
Maybe this will be my chance to finally get a bag. Well,
it's not looking that way. We'll talk about it.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
I neither this way up news.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
This in the news that relates to you. These stories
are flying under the radar.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
All right, as way up at Angela.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
Yeah, I'm here, tessling figure, I is here guests hosting
with me in the building and the building, and let's
get to these under the radar stories. Now, I asked
you if you had an ermez bag.

Speaker 3 (20:26):
You don't not that, do I?

Speaker 4 (20:27):
And won't and won't.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Because now with these tariffs they're saying, and I'm and
this is one terriff, I can't be mad at These
tariffs are going to be one hundred percent placed on
us here. So if the tariffs affect them and the
price point and whatever that those costs are getting passed
on to all the buyers of the Ermez bags here.

Speaker 5 (20:47):
Yeah, all of them are. It's really important people understand
how this works. I mean two plus two will always
still equal four. Yeah, so you can pretty much assume
that anything that goes up the costs is going to
be pass to the consumer.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
Yeah, it's hard.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
And you know they're talking about Trump's tariffs. They said,
they're saying this is an expensive, exclusive luxury brand, so
people can't afford it. I guess if you want to
buy an arms bag and it's that important to you,
and the tariffs are I don't even know what the
price point is now, say it's forty five percent, who
knows you are going to have to.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
Pay that if you want to get more.

Speaker 4 (21:20):
Yeah, somebody's talking how much do they cost?

Speaker 5 (21:21):
Because I don't know, because I wish I would, but
it makes that like so yeah, if you're talking about
if you're willing to spin it on a bag, Okay,
no big deal. Those are not the terraffs I'm concerned
about it. I'm concerned about the terriffs that are happening
with food products. With fruit that we're getting Mexico would
steal with aluminum, like all of the things that every
day average people lumber, lumber, all of that stuff. That's

(21:43):
a big deal.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
Angela.

Speaker 5 (21:45):
I have a house that I need to correct the
roof and so now woof and products you know are
fifty percent more. So that's the stuff I'm concerned about.
As far as these bags and the spensive stuff. I mean,
if you got it, you got it, like right, But
more attentions to be focused on what's gonna affect the average.

Speaker 3 (21:57):
So they say that sheen is going up too.

Speaker 4 (22:00):
When a shine go, we're gonna have a problem. I'mna
saying that right now.

Speaker 5 (22:02):
They said that the shipping, they said, that's a real
because they I am a fashion no machine all day
every day, and they say the shipping gonna be slowed down.
They said that the price is gonna go up. And
that's what we really We're gonna start a protest. Let's
talk about this. Why you don't have a bag? I
would have thought you had a bag.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
You gotta like that.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
I don't, you know what, I just never really wanted one.
Dial wise, it's not my thing. Okay, you know, you
do have an expensive bag. I like you know, Okay,
like you know, but I ain't buying nothing right now.
I'm gonna be honest with you, like my money is
going into different things, investments. And lastly, I just want
to talk about Luigi MANGIONI. We all know him, uh
for USA, the healthcare worker that he gunned down the

(22:45):
executive right, and so now they're saying that he is
eligible for the death penalty, and so it looks like
that's what they're pushing for to Yeah.

Speaker 5 (22:54):
I mean, well, he did murder somebody in cold blood,
so you know, it makes sense. Even though this is
one of those situations where people kind of support what
he did. You know, it's unfortunate, but it's just a
real thing. People are really upset about healthcare. So this
is one of those vigilante type you know, people that
support the villain if you will.

Speaker 4 (23:13):
Has a lot of support online, people saying I get it.

Speaker 5 (23:15):
People are tired of protesting, people are tired of begging
for medicare for all, and they saw what he did
is kind of important.

Speaker 6 (23:21):
Not me.

Speaker 5 (23:21):
I don't condone it, you know myself, but this is
gonna be an interesting case to follow us well.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
But certainly, I mean, he's got almost a million dollars
raised in his found but he was Yeah, the United
Healthcare chief Brian Thompson was killed at the Hilton and
Midtime Manhattan, and now Luigi Manzioni is They returned to
four count indictment yesterday against him, charges him with two
counts of stalking, firearms defense and murder through the use
of a firearm, so he is eligible for the death

(23:48):
penalty if convicted. All right, well, that is your under
the radar now, you know, we have the Way up
mixed at the top of the hour, and since Teslant
is here for the first time guests hosting with me,
we are also going to have a great conversation with
you about what's going on. I was having some off
off uh, off the air conversations about the program that
you have and the school that you have that I

(24:09):
am fascinated by, because you know, I was telling you
there's panels that I've done where people have talked about
how to actually be involved in running for office or
being an activist or you know, just supporting someone who's
running for office. So we're going to talk about that
with you, if that's okay when we come back. Absolutely,
it's a Friday. We got the way It mixed at
the top of the hour, just like the talk like

(24:30):
they Angeli Jean, like they Angela Jean Man.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
She's spilling it all. This is yet way.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
It's way up at Angela Yee.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
I'm here with my Friday Friday guess hos Teslin figure out.
Oh let me put our mics on. Okay, there we go.
I told you I'm not used to having to do
this manually myself, this manual labor. And let's get into
this et but also get ready for the next hilarious
PayPal campaign that's happening with Will Ferrell singing his rendition

(25:00):
a Fleetwood Max. You can go your own way. That's
how it is in a bat I sing terribly.

Speaker 3 (25:06):
Let do it.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
But you can take out the teaser tonight and the
commercial during basketball games this weekend. Now, let's talk about
Robert F. Kennedy Junior and his remarks this week. He
talked about how autism destroys children and doesn't allow them
to be able to do a lot of different things
like hold a jot, write a poem, play baseball, go

(25:26):
on a date, all of those things, and Holly Robinson
Pete is chiming in. This is something she's passionate about
because her son was diagnosed with autism at three years
old is now twenty seven years old.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
And here's what that sounded like.

Speaker 7 (25:39):
Autism is not a disease. It is a disorder, and
it is important to get that right if you are
the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
So that off the top really triggered me.

Speaker 7 (25:51):
When our son was diagnosed in two thousand at three
years old, we called it the never day. Why because
this developmental pediatrician rolled out a laundry list of nevers
that RG would never do, never be, never have, never achieved.
She said, you would never have friends, never say I
love you, never play team sports. When the Secretary of

(26:11):
Health and Human Services just ran off another never list,
it triggered me in ways I can't even describe.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
I mean what I said, And that's from somebody who
has to you know, has been dealing with this and
been an advocate for so long.

Speaker 5 (26:26):
The best people that we find in politics Angela's are
those who are triggered by a personal experience. People who
have actually been affected by something are usually your best activists.
One of the training that we'll talk about in a
little bit, the training that I do is how to
be an activist or an organizer. So shout out to
Holly for continuing to push the message about autism, making
sure that people understand it and that personal experience is

(26:48):
going to keep her was motivated. And he misspoke. He
tried to clean it up, you know, and say that
wasn't what he was talking about. But you need to
be clear, you know, when you are jumping out here
on this microphone and saying whatever you want to say,
and you know, basically stigmatizing group who's already stigmatized, you
need to be clear, you know, about that, about that messaging.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
And you know, he also made these remarks at a
news conference on Wednesday. He was talking about new data
from the CDC that showed autism diagnosis among children in
the US have continued to rise. But what people have
said is that is because it's actually brought in criteria,
increased awareness, better screening. So it's not that it's something

(27:25):
that's necessarily rising, it's just being diagnosed more.

Speaker 5 (27:29):
And there's always gonna be some back and forth about that.
We see that as well with ADHD. You know, with
the twenty years ago, people weren't calling it ADHD, just like, oh,
you just got a kid that just can't sit down,
So that that could be argued on both sides of
the argument, on both sides of the issue. Is it
just more diagnosis or is there an uprising in it.
I'm here for the research to find out either or

(27:49):
you know, either or if is getting us to the
solution of the problem and reducing it. I'm here for
the issue is though, we have to be accurate with
our information. We have to make sure that we're not
putting out misinformation restigmatizing and I think that's the overall
issue that Holly has.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
And it's also interesting there's higher rates of autism among black,
Hispanic and Asian American children that among white children.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
Yeah, and I.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
Wonder if that if it really is, or if they're
being diagnosed more and being told that more, or if
it's in the foods that we're eating, because that's also
a conversation.

Speaker 5 (28:18):
Yeah, well, it's called it actually, it's called environmental racism.
I mean, it is a real thing. When we talk
about the Flint water crisis, just to give an example,
you know, on that water and those chemicals and how
does that affect you know, black and brown children. It's
a real thing when we talk about cancer, you knowvibrate
absolutely when we talk about cancer and people who are
exposed to areas that are that have toxic fumes that

(28:39):
you're not going to see in certain communities.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
So it's a real thing.

Speaker 5 (28:42):
It's a real issue for those who are interested in
environmental racism.

Speaker 4 (28:45):
I encourage you to look it up. It's not a
made up ideology. It's a real thing. So I think
he's making a point with that.

Speaker 5 (28:50):
However, what is the issue that we're talking about and
what is the solution? Even we talk about fast food restaurants,
when we have food deserts in communities that are disenfranchised
and they're having to eat more fast food, how was
that being connected to cancer?

Speaker 4 (29:02):
So those are all real things.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
Yeah, that we push for our hair products.

Speaker 4 (29:05):
Relax all of it.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
Okay, And lastly, I just want to give an update
on Diddy. You know he was trying to get his
trial delayed by two months. Well, a federal judge today
deny that request. They were trying to have more time
to prepare their defense. But the jury selection and the
trial will begin on May fifth as scheduled, So that
is still going to continue, all right, and that is
your yee t And when we come back, it is

(29:29):
a Friday, so you know what happens.

Speaker 3 (29:30):
On Fridays, new music comes out, Tess.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
We're gonna find out what you're listening to, but we're
gonna let the people know what should you be listening
to this weekend?

Speaker 3 (29:39):
What should you be listening to? Today? We'll tell you
what's coming out. It's way up Friday.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
Since whether it's relationship with career advice, Angela's dropping facts
you should know.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
Is as gee, what's up? Its way up at Angela yee.
I'm here with my girl Teslin figure out.

Speaker 4 (29:53):
What's up in the building.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
And today on ask Ye, we have a voicemail from
somebody who wanted some advice, So let's play the voicemail.

Speaker 13 (30:01):
Hey, Angela, my name is Danielle. I just bought a
house and I lived with my boyfriend and he's twenty four.
So our house is too level, so keep it cute.
Our house is two levels, and he wants the whole
top levels and I'm like no, because this is the house.
My dad's like, let's meet. So I want at least
a room and a guest room on the top level

(30:22):
and he wants, like, you know, the whole top level.
So anyway, how do I tell him respectfully that like
that's not gonna happen. You're not going to have the
whole top level anyway? Thank you?

Speaker 2 (30:35):
By all right, Well, Teslan got to see what you think.
One thing that was confusing. She said she bought a house,
but then she said her dad left her the house.

Speaker 5 (30:42):
Yeah, and then she also said he was twenty four,
and so that tells me something going on there with
the age.

Speaker 4 (30:48):
But what's your thought? I know, I got my opinion.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
Okay, Well my thought is this, if this is your
home and it's only two levels, I'm not gonna say
the whole top level should go to any one person.
You definitely need a guest room because when people are
coming over, you know that always does happen. You always
need a place to stay. And I have a guest
room that also doubles as a study. So I think
that could be a space where if someone needs to come,

(31:09):
there's a bed in there. But then also you could
have like, you know, your things in there as well.
I say he should have a section.

Speaker 5 (31:16):
Yeah, both should Yeah, well this should have, but I
think it's deeper than that. If he's asking for the
entire top level. I'm wondering if he really want to live,
which you says, I mean, like for real, I mean,
let's just be honest, you.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
Would have his own company.

Speaker 5 (31:30):
Yeah, he really just kind of sound like he just
want to be he wants the separation or if you
are you know, if you believe in non traditional style relationships,
which I do, he may just say, I like my space,
my Space, I'll bet an apartment.

Speaker 12 (31:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (31:42):
Well, but if they.

Speaker 5 (31:43):
Go in and have on the bills, if they're going
to terrorists to coming, y'alllso, if they're going to have
it on the bills and it's cheaper to live with
each other, you know, that might be it. But I
think this is not about do I want a guess
room or not a guest room. This sounds like somebody
that really may not be ready to live with a woman,
which is okay if that works for you.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
Yeah, I think that. Well, first of all, it sounds
like there's no option here. She's telling him no.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
She just wants to know how ill saying no, so
she wants to be like that can't happen. But I
also understand compromise and so maybe there's a way that
he can have a space that's his.

Speaker 5 (32:14):
It's not gonna be a whole floor. Yeah, but I
think she needs to get into why though. You need
to get into the wyche what that says a lot.
The why really matters, Angela. It's not about let's just
compromise and you just get a separate run. We really
need to get into the why are you even ask.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
Why do you need a whole?

Speaker 4 (32:29):
Because the why is not going to go away?

Speaker 5 (32:31):
You can you can compromise, what if the why is
still on the there on? Why do you even want them?
Do you even like being around me? For real? That's
what his needs to kind of focus on first before
you get to the solutions.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
Next thing, he gonna have girls coming up? Do what
I want?

Speaker 8 (32:44):
Right?

Speaker 5 (32:45):
Or maybe I just don't want to live with you?
I mean, respectful. I'm just saying, understand the why. Most
people are not asking to split an entire house with you.

Speaker 4 (32:52):
I think that's what's the most important thing.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
All right, Well regardless it ain't happening, I'm cool.

Speaker 5 (32:58):
With it though, Just so you know, I actually you
were doing here. Take the floor absolutely? Yeah, just goal stare.
We can get you a way that you can go
out on the back end. We don't have to see
each other. We can meet up in the middle of
the week.

Speaker 4 (33:08):
I'm with it. You like Oprah and Stepman, Oprah and
Steppen all the way. I'm with it.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
Word okay, Well, that is your asky.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
She's advocating for him, advocating and that was brought to
you by socony akascany dot com.

Speaker 3 (33:24):
Go online and go make your purchases.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
I always tell you how much I love athlesia, but
I love athletic where that is also things that are
useful like socony and I'm studying my run club again.
So socany dot com. We appreciate you. And it's not secony.
And when we come back Teslant, since you're here, I
do want to talk about everything that you have going on.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
You know.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
I like hearing you in the space of because we
know you from being very active and being able to
break things down that's going on in the news and
politics and all of that. We know you also from
working with the amazing bank Crump. We know that you're
going to law school. But I want to get more
into Teslin and what's going on today with you. So
we'll do that me come back if that's okay. Absolutely,
they told you I was going to get in your business.

Speaker 4 (34:03):
You did get in my business, all right.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
A little bit deeper, way.

Speaker 6 (34:09):
Up with Angela ye.

Speaker 3 (34:12):
What's up?

Speaker 2 (34:12):
His way up with Angela yee, and ask primus. My
guest co host for the day, Teslin figure out is
here in the building, and I want to make sure
that we dig into somewhere. But you have going on
because I'm always so impressed by you. Oh, thank you,
And so I want to talk about this training that
you have, Pushed the Line training, So can you tell
us what that is because we talked about it off air,

(34:33):
but I want to make sure people understand.

Speaker 5 (34:35):
Yeah, thank you so much again for having me Angela.
I'm truly truly appreciative. Push the Line is politics until
something happens. My job is your curator, your founder of
the Push the Line nonpartisan political training program is to
help you find that something. That something may be, something
like we talked about earlier with Holly Robinson Pete, you know,
talking about autism, how she advocates for a son.

Speaker 4 (34:54):
That's called being an activist.

Speaker 5 (34:56):
You may want to be an organizer, which is actually
getting people in the room, like we did a couple
of weeks ago at my brother Killer Mike's restaurant, Bank
at Seafood with getting over well close to two hundred
people in the room to actually organize. Or you may
want to run for office, we call it a candidate
or a campaign worker. You may want to actually work
on a campaign, be a campaign manager, a volunteer coordinator.
All of those different positions have a role to play.

(35:18):
What I have found by all of the experience that
I've had over twenty years experience working local races, being
a candidate, myself, working state, working federal be Bernie Sanders
Racial Justice director. In twenty fifteen, I was the only
black person on the ground that Flip Michigan when he
beat Hillary Clinton in that primary. Ismam so all of
the experience that I've learned from crisis management with Attorney Crump,

(35:39):
from running my own business with three hundred employees in Orlando,
and going to the top training programs in the country
Congressional Black Caucus, Yale School for Women, Yelle Law School,
which is campaign school for women, Go Run, Lead, you
name it. I've been a part of the training, but
I've always found that the training didn't necessarily speak to me.
I always found my self kind of feeling like, are

(36:01):
they is this realistic for me and my community? How
do I really know the real deal on what I
need to do and right now?

Speaker 4 (36:07):
Angela. People just want to know what are the solutions.

Speaker 5 (36:09):
They know what they're upset about, they know what needs
to be fixed, they know they're upset about current administration.

Speaker 4 (36:15):
Whether you rock with it, don't rock with it.

Speaker 5 (36:16):
But what we're finding is a lack of actually knowing
what to do. In twenty twenty two, we have three
hundred people that came from all over the country to
attend this training. From six am to six pm. They
stood in the rain, three hundred people. And so what
I've decided to do is put that training online. It
is curated by me. I wrote the curriculum. I have
a master's an adult education. I say that because I'm
not just talking about curriculum, I've actually wrote it, making

(36:39):
sure that we have objections, making sure that all those
things are met. I'm your trainer, and so we just
want to make sure that people have the tools to
know what to do.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
I think that's important because a lot of people felt
helpless and feel like, well, we have nothing to do
with this if I, you know, not, if I don't
have money, if I don't have this, I don't have X,
Y and Z, then what difference does it make? People
aren't listening to me, Especially right now, people are really
feeling that. And I know you also stress the importance
of local. Absolutely, that's absolutely the most important thing you
can do.

Speaker 5 (37:05):
Local politics, state politics, even congressional you know, congress positions,
they're still local even though they're federal and they're working
on federal issues. You're still only talking about a couple
hundred thousand people at best. But we're so fascinated with
federal you know, I want to be congresswomen such and such.
One of the trainings I'm gonna do is how these
candidates crash out the ten ways to not crash out. Yeah,

(37:26):
my training is different, y'all different. It's real different, like
the just the name of it period.

Speaker 6 (37:32):
You know.

Speaker 5 (37:32):
The first one we are soldiers. The second course is
ambition of a rider. You know, I'm talking about how
to build a community coalition. You're not gonna find it
in any of these other trainings. Thinking of a master plan,
stand on business, you know what it means to really
stand on business and then show me my opponent.

Speaker 3 (37:46):
And I want to say, if you're loving this or.
