Imagine you do something phenomenal and your own friends are
talking crazy about you. If I go to space, Jasmine,
you better be talking about me behind my back. We'll
tell you how Gail King has been reacting to all
of the backlash.

Speaker 5 (04:01):
It's way up, they say in the rooms, from industry
shade to all the gossip out. Angela's feeling that yet.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
It's way up at Angela. Yee, I'm here, Jasmine brand
is here.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
Yeah, I'm not just brand, I'm my own brand.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Let's get into this yete now gil King talk to
Extra and she was discussing that expedition that they took
the Blue Origin launch on April fourteenth.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
There were a lot of people making jokes.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
They also became a meme because people thought she looked
a little frightened.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
She said she wish she would have smiled.

Speaker 4 (04:33):
Yeah, she had a face expression. Doesn't take much to
turn it to me.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Now.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Now here's what she had to say about all the
criticism and backlash that the team, the whole crew got
for going into space.

Speaker 9 (04:45):
Should we consider maybe I could do this too, the
young girls in particular, but it's not just to young girls.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
We're also encouraging.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
I mean the boys look at it and see what
women and young girls can do.

Speaker 5 (04:55):
So, I you know, I know.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
There are cranky Yankees.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
I know there's some haters, but I'm not going to
let people steal my joy.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
And steal the joy of what we did or what
we accomplished that day.

Speaker 5 (05:04):
I'm just not going to let it in.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
I'm not.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
And these are some of my friends that are just
throwing shade.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
I don't like that.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
Well, so she explained it in this interview too.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Is what she's saying is before she did this before
she went on this flight and became educated on space.
She was one of those people like, why are we
spending so much money in space? There's so much to
do here on Earth. People were saying things like eggs
are expensive, and why are we doing this spending all
this money doing that. But she said she learned more
about what Blue Origin does and their intentions are to
figure out a way to harness the waste here and

(05:36):
to put it in space to make the planet Earth
a better place.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
Okay, so we're not educated, we don't know.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
So she said, we use space technology all the time,
GPS satellite. Every time a flight goes up, they get
some type of information. She also didn't like the fact
that people could remember I said, I thought they were
gonna be gone a month.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
You did say that. I was like, what they took off?

Speaker 2 (05:54):
And then the next post I saw they were back.
I was like, wait, you know, but she said, it's
not a ride, it's an expedition, and you don't do that.
When male astronauts go into space, they don't say he
took a ride, and they did duplicate their route that
Alan Shepard did.

Speaker 4 (06:10):
So Okay, I like the term cranky Yankee thought, Yeah,
that was funny.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
It sounds like like a candle flavor.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
All right, now, Amy Lee, would you know her from
White Lotus?

Speaker 3 (06:20):
She plays the character Chelsea.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
A lot of people say that she's the one that
is the most has the most human empathetic. I like
her personality. That was on this season of White Lotus. Well,
there's been a lot going on about this skit that
SNL did. They did the White Potus skit and it's
kind of making fun well very much making fun of
Donald Trump. You know the guy in White Lotus that

(06:43):
was that kind of the family was rich, but he
was about to lose all his money and he has
got embezzlement and all of that and the family didn't know.
So he's Donald Trump? Is that character by the White Potis.
But anyway, here is what that's git sounded like as
far as her part. And she has big teeth and
that's one thing people talk about a lot.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
So here's the skits.

Speaker 5 (07:05):
Insane ideas like what if we took all the floor
ee out of the drinking water?

Speaker 8 (07:09):
But what would that do to people's teeth?

Speaker 7 (07:12):
Right?

Speaker 3 (07:14):
I look okish, kill it and eat it.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
So sorry, they had giant prosthetics like teeth making fun
of her in that, and she had posted on her
Instagram page that she did think it was mean and
unfunny that sketch, and she said, such a shame because
I had a great time watching it a couple of
weeks ago. Yes, she said, that's what the show was about,
but there must be a cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap way.

(07:43):
And then she said that ESNL had apologized to her.
Not only did they apologize, but Sarah Sherman, who's a
comedian that actually mocked her in the sketch, also sent
her flowers and she posted, thank you for the beautiful flowers.

Speaker 6 (07:56):
I thought it was funny. But also people, that's what
SNL does. They picked They make fun of you like
it's just part of the game.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
And you know, there's been a lot of behind the
stories about White Lotus and the cast not.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
Getting along with each other.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
So people were saying that she and her co star
who portrayed her love interest Rick on screen, they were
at odds because they didn't tag each other and their
White Lotus tributes on Instagram.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
And then he went and praised this kid is amazing.

Speaker 4 (08:20):
Of course he did well.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
All right, but well that is your et and that's
sponsored by Soccany. And when we come back, we have
about last night. We had an active day yesterday we
did you actually did a podcast. We'll talk about it.
It's way out.

Speaker 5 (08:35):
So about last night, Yes, I went down.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
It's way up at Angela. Yee, I'm here, Jasmine brand
is here.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yes, I'm my own brand, and it's time for about
last night. I don't even want to tell you what
happened after we took the train home from work yesterday.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
You know, my car is.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
In the shop right right, somebody crashed into five cars
on the block. So I currently I haven't gone to

the train.

Speaker 4 (09:16):
Back, how Angela? How was that? What happened?

Speaker 2 (09:21):
When we took the train, We got up the train,
there were definitely people doing drugs on the stairs and
then broad daylight. It was it was and they were
aggressive drugs yeah, we would excuse me. I was like,
look at this in taj Mahal right here on the
steps of the train. But anyway, you actually had to
go and do a podcast, so talk about that.

Speaker 6 (09:40):
So yeah, I want to catch me on the stoop.
That's the name of the podcast. And actually you do
the interview on the stoop in Brooklyn. It's like three
or four god black guys and the whole crew is
I just love seeing black men doing dope things and
interview all types of people. And they're really down on
earth and we talk about regular stuff and train for
oh we have most importantly we have drinks and we

(10:00):
just talked and it's really fun. So shout out to them.
I had an amazing time. And I've never did an
interview on a stoop before, so it makes sense. Yes,
I can't wait my episode comes out.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
Well, I actually walked you over there, and I didn't
at the time when I came back to get you
because this is right in my neighborhood too, literally around
the corner. So when I came back to get you,
you didn't see this. But there was a little girl,
she's probably about like four years old, sitting in the
window watching you from next door, and I just said

(10:29):
about how much you were cursing on the interview.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
The sport child. I had to hear that.

Speaker 6 (10:34):
Yeah, I did curse a little bit too much on it.
In my defense, I have no defense, but.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
I was like, what's the defense? In my defense?

Speaker 6 (10:42):
I am trying to work on cursing. Maybe next time,
but I'm on a stupid I'm drinking. It just came out,
you know. But okay, So how did anything.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Well, I mean, I was, you know, hanging out with you.
I found I was cleaning some things out of my house.
I'm trying to get rid of things. I found a
bunch of old cameras, so I tried to plug one
in and it's one of those flip cams. But it
doesn't it won'tly. It just keeps saying low battery. I
had it charging for like hours, so I guess it's
never going to work again.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
You might have to take it somewhere.

I love it.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
All right, Well, that is your yet when we come back,
we have under the radar. These are the stories that
are not necessarily in the headlines. They are flying under
the radar, but you need to know about them anyway.
And also a shout out to soakany who was sponsoring that.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
Y T it's way up the news edition, in the
news that relates to you.

Speaker 5 (19:39):
These stories are flying under the radar.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
Yo, it's way up. But Angela, yee, I'm here, Hey, Jasmine.

Speaker 6 (19:44):
Brand, what are you doing trying to get hoodie one?

Speaker 2 (19:50):
All right, well, it is time for your under the
radar now. A federal judge has ordered an intense two
week inquiry into the Trump administration's refusal to seek the
return of Amanda. This guy was wrongly deported from Maryland
to a prison, not just any prison, a prison in
al Salvador.

Speaker 4 (20:07):
That sounds scary.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
It is scary, and you know, they are not trying
to bring him back to the country. This according to
the Attorney General, Pam Bondi. She said, if he wanted
to send him back, we would give him a plane
ride back. And she's referring to the president of l Salvador.
She said there was no situation ever where he was
going to stay in this country. And Donald Trump has
said on Truth Social Today it's his job to remove

(20:30):
killers and thugs from the US, and so he's saying that,
you know this man, but it was a mistaken They've
admitted it's a mistake. Clearly, it's not a mistake. You
wanted to deport him.

Speaker 4 (20:41):
Sounds very intentional. I feel bad for his family.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
Right They said it was an administrative error. They've even
admitted that. And the fact that you're not even working
to bring him back, that's crazy, you know. And US
officials are now alleging he's a member of the MS thirteen.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
Gang, and that's the problem.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
Everybody is screaming for deporting people, deporting people, but they're
gonna make anything up and say this person is a
member of a gang. They're just saying things and you
have no protection and you have no so you know,
it's all fun and games until it affects somebody.

Speaker 4 (21:10):
Who you know, who you care about.

Speaker 3 (21:12):
All right now.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
Another thing that has been trending today Spotify. Apparently Spotify
has been down. There's some outages that are happening. I mean,
and they're saying these are the biggest outages ever on Spotify.
And so here's what we know so far about these outages.
Is started spiking at around eight am, almost fifty thousand

(21:34):
Spotify users said there were some problems in the US
and other people in the UK, showing that it's not
just the US issue, it's a global issue. They're saying
it's related to the smartphone app, but people are also
having problems with the web player, so it's down for
all of that too. So they said they're looking for
a fix for and everything's rolling out. They're working to
resolve the broader outage as soon as possible.

Speaker 3 (21:57):
But not a good thing. It's been trending.

Speaker 6 (22:00):

worth of her stuff is gone. She came home and
her house was smashed up, and she showed that, you
know as well. Well, the woman got into a fight
with Tokyo Tony. She was still in the area, and
it was in the DC area, and they came to
two blows. And here is what that fight sounded like.

Speaker 8 (25:47):
He broke.

Speaker 4 (25:58):
How did the cat get involved?

Speaker 3 (26:00):

Angela's dropping facts you shouldn't. You should know. This is
ask ye.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
What's up?

Speaker 2 (26:30):
Its way up at Angela Ye. I'm Angela Yee and
Jasmine from the Jasmine brand is here. And you know
what time it is. It's time for ask ye. That's
when you get to call and ask for advice. Eight
hundred two nine fifty one fifty is the number.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
Hello, Hey, what out? Jasmin?

Speaker 4 (26:44):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (26:45):
What's up? What's your name?

Speaker 1 (26:47):
My name? See?

Speaker 3 (26:48):
Okay? See what is your question for? Ask ye?

Speaker 1 (26:51):
Yeah? You know, I'm listening to you all for a while,
and I'm really been like for my financial literacy and
I've got a good credit school. But the problem is
my parents know it and they always trying to get
me to buy something on my credit card, Like I
don't know how to no so hard because it's like
you know what in my parents. But I worked hard
to get.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
The credit right and so well, listen, credit doesn't mean
that you have an unlimited amount of money to spend, right,
I think for me, my rule with my credit card
is if I can't afford it, I'm not buying it.
I like to use my credit cards because I like
to get the points and advantages that come with it.
So when I buy things, I pay it off right
away and they don't need to know your financial situation.

(27:31):
So if they're asking you to buy them things, you
can always be like, you know what, it's a tough time.
I really don't have it right now.

Speaker 4 (27:38):
That's fair.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
Yeah, I agree. For Caribbean. You know they don't hear. No,
he's trying to pull a whole bedroom steps and calls
on my credit.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
No way, you can't do that. No, nope, sir, listen.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
I think that you have to set boundaries when it
comes to your finances. One of the first things that
you'll realize is when it comes to my and friends.
If you want to lose some friends, lend them some money, Okay, disappear.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
Are family members.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
But I would say I don't mix my finances with
my family.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
Let them know.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Look if you if there's anything that I can do,
and within reason, I will, But that's just not reasonable.
I worked really hard to get to this point and
I just also don't.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
Have it all right. I guess yeah, good luck.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
Look, no it is and because you know what happens,
the more you say yes and given, the more they're
going to keep on asking for more right, No, that sucks.
You can always get the suggestions and how they can
make more money, like you know they need more drivers
for DoorDash right right, Well, good luck with that though.
Congrats on getting your credit score up, but don't ruin
it all right, thank you all? Well that was ask

Speaker 3 (29:09):
To be joining us. We'll be talking about art as
if it lays to investment. It's way up.

Speaker 13 (29:14):
I had a dream of wealthy and I don't mind
sharing my wealth dog.

Speaker 5 (29:18):
Getting you straight financially, mentally and physically. This is wealth Wednesday.
On Way up with Angela.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Ye, what's up this way up with Angela? Yee and
it's time for our Wealth Wednesday. I'm excited Daicy Tuesday
is here with me. Of course, I'm very excited again.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
Happy Wealth Wednesdays.

Speaker 14 (29:33):
Everybody pulling out all levers and we're going to talk
today about investing in something that you might think is
well beyond your reach. We're going to talk about investing
in art with a legend, Yes, indeed in the black
art space, Richard Beaver's, who is the founder of the
Richard Baver's Art Gallery, which you're gonna tell us all about.

(29:55):
But let's start at the very beginning. Your art journey
started when you were in mis school.

Speaker 15 (30:00):
What happened, Yes, it did, first and foremost, I want
to thank you for having me here today, Angela in Stacey.

Speaker 8 (30:07):
This is amazing.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
It's a blessing.

Speaker 8 (30:08):
I'm really happy forward to this conversation. It started out
for me rather early. I was in my early teens
and I went on a class.

Speaker 15 (30:16):
Trip to the museum. Came home from that trip and
my mother asked me what did I think? And at
the time, I couldn't really articulate it, but I said
to her, you know, I didn't really think too much
of it, and she said, well, you know, did you
see art? And I said, yeah, I did see art.
But what happened is that I didn't see anything that
was reflective of who I was, and it didn't speak

(30:37):
to my personal experiences or anything culturally. So my mother
took me to a gallery that was in the city.
It was on thirteenth Street between Second and Third Avenue,
and it was owned by two black women from the
Caribbean and the name of the gallery was Cybercot Gallery.
And that was the first time I ever walked into
a space and I just saw all black art.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
Now, you also have a gallery in Brooklyn and Bedstye
and I met you on the street over by where
ihart used to be downtown.

Speaker 3 (31:04):
And so he was like, I'm rich to be reus.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
I'm like, wait a minute, I see I walk past
your gallery all the time right near my house, and
it is and you've said this before that it can
be intimidating for people to see that, like in our
neighborhood to want to go in there. You feel like,
am I supposed to?

Speaker 8 (31:19):
You know?

Speaker 3 (31:19):
How do I do this?

Speaker 8 (31:20):
So?

Speaker 2 (31:20):
Can we talk about you opening a gallery in Bedsty
and why that was important to you?

Speaker 15 (31:25):
First and foremost, it was important because that thirteen year
old kid who lives in the Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhood, that's me,
you know, And I know that there were a lot
of young people that came from my community that I
grew up in in, which was East Flatbush, and they
didn't get the access. They didn't be able to go
to galleries the way that I was able to. You know,
I was very fortunate to have had a mother who

(31:45):
had that foresight and she understood the importance of exposing
me to different things just to see what would stick
with me and how valuable that would be to me,
you know, further down the road in my life. But
for the young people who were my peers, they didn't
get opportunities to go to galleries. And I always think
to myself, like, what impact could it have made on them?

Speaker 8 (32:03):
You know.

Speaker 15 (32:04):
I come from a neighborhood where it was just so
much brilliance, as we know, but a lot of times
that brilliance has suppressed and then given access and visibility.

Speaker 8 (32:12):
To certain things.

Speaker 15 (32:13):
So it was really important for me when I made
a decision to open a gallery that I wanted to
bring it to my community, which was an underserved community
where it came to the arts. But most importantly, I
wanted young people to have access and exposure to art,
young people of color.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
Right now, it's a wealth Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
I'm here with Stacy Tisdale and we are talking to
Richard Beaver's from the Richard Beavers Gallery.

Speaker 14 (32:32):
How does somebody with my income, just like a couple
inment five hundred dollars or something, get involved in art?

Speaker 15 (32:39):
So at a five hundred dollars price point is more
so an emerging artist, and an emerging artist who doesn't
have a developed market hasn't really sold a lot of
their work, and that tends to be kind of like
it started off with my sweet spot, where I would
identify artists that I believe had a really you know,
I had a skill set that the work spoke to me.

(32:59):
And I work with those artists and I begin to
build a market out for them. And when I say
build a market out for them, I give them mentorship,
I give them access to be able to display their
work in the gallery.

Speaker 8 (33:12):
But it's also in who the work is placed with.

Speaker 15 (33:15):
You know, I have a really strong collector base, so
I make certain that I sell the work not just
to people that have that are well to do off.
But I look for people in the community that will
become advocates for these artists, because the most important thing
is a lot of times people purchase art, but they
just hang it on their home, on their walls.

Speaker 8 (33:34):
They don't go out, they don't talk to their network.

Speaker 15 (33:36):
They don't bring more visibility to the artists and introduce
them to other collectors. And that is a very important
aspect of it, is to bring as much visibility as
you possibly can.

Speaker 8 (33:47):
To that artist.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
All right, Richard Biever's is here. It is a Wealth Wednesday.
We got more when we come back. We're talking about
art as investment. We're talking about the Richard Bieber's gallery
that he's had since two thousand and seven.

Speaker 3 (33:58):
It's way up.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
I had a.

Speaker 13 (33:59):
Dream of wealthy and I don't mind sharing my wealth
dog getting you straight financially, mentally and physically.

Speaker 5 (34:06):
This is Wealth Wednesday on Way Up with Angela Yee.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
What's up is Way up with Angela ye and Happy
Wealth Wednesday. I'm here with Stacy Tisdale, my partner in
Wealth Wednesday, and we have with Richard Bavers, the owner
of the Richard Bavers Gallery. Here we're talking about art
as investment.

Speaker 3 (34:20):
Stacey, you have a question.

Speaker 14 (34:21):
People can actually leverage their art for loans, Yes and credits.

Speaker 8 (34:25):
Yes, So I'll give you this is a real life story, Okay.

Speaker 15 (34:28):
In twenty eighteen, I was one of Nathaniel Mary Quinn's
first dealers.

Speaker 8 (34:33):
So Nathaniel married.

Speaker 15 (34:34):
Quinn is an artist who's going on to be tremendously successful.
He's represented by the Goozian and Googosian is one of
the top four galleries.

Speaker 8 (34:40):
You have Googosian, you have.

Speaker 15 (34:43):
Housland Worth, you have Pace and is one other but
it's like Tough and David's Warner. There you go, yes,
and David's werner. So Quinn is with Googosian. Now Gaghozians
has a billion dollars worth of art. So in twenty eighteen,
I'm working with Quinn. I'm not representation, but one of
his first art dealers and have been like maybe eight years,

(35:05):
eight to ten years since I left MTV. So I
get a letter in the mail from MTV informing me
that I have a pension that I did not know about.
So in this pension they're saying that I have a
certain amount of money in there, and they're moving providers
of the pension, and I have a one time opportunity
to pull that money out penalty free.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
That's nice.

Speaker 8 (35:26):
Yeah, I want a letter like that.

Speaker 3 (35:28):
I'll never get a letter like that.

Speaker 15 (35:29):
So I say to myself, Okay, I can leave it
in there and I can get what twelve percent interest
in SP five hundred index fund, you know, over the
next ten years, or I can pull that money out
and invest in two Nathaniel Marry Quinn works. So I
made a decision to pull the money out no penalty.
I purchased two works from him twenty five thousand dollars
and that was eight years ago. Those works now are

(35:52):
worth four hundred and fifty thousands.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
What a great purchase and great decision.

Speaker 8 (35:56):
One hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

Speaker 14 (35:58):
Okay, Now tell someone how you can take the money
that's that piece of art and also use it as
an asset for a loan.

Speaker 15 (36:05):
So now that those two works, I can leverage them
and I can use them to get a loan art financing.
So you have souther Be's, you have Christie's, you have
JP Morgan Bank of America.

Speaker 8 (36:17):
He's a private banking and I can leverage that and
use that to secure a loan.

Speaker 3 (36:21):
Just like a mortgage or something just.

Speaker 15 (36:24):
Like a mortgage, and you can get anywhere from forty
to The loan to value rate shows anywhere from forty
to sixty percent.

Speaker 8 (36:30):
It just depends on the artist.

Speaker 15 (36:32):
It depends on how diversial collection is, you know, how
the work is sold in the primary market, secondary market
meaning resale at auction. And Quinn has a very strong
you know, auction history when it comes to reselling and
is an extremely strong demand for his work. So I
can get forty to sixty percent loan to value ratio
on that, and the interest would be depending on your

(36:52):
credit worthiness. And in some instances, depending on the works,
they may not even run a credit check.

Speaker 8 (36:58):
Wow, you know, isn't that thing.

Speaker 15 (37:00):
So I can get a loan and the interest would
be anywhere from say six to fifteen percent. But if
it's a short term loan, you're looking at three to
five percent.

Speaker 3 (37:08):
That's great.

Speaker 15 (37:08):
And this is what I advise, you know, unless you're
a distressed seller, is that you don't sell your assets.

Speaker 8 (37:13):
Yeah, you leverage them, you know, you can.

Speaker 15 (37:15):
You can leverage your stock portfolio, you can refinance on
your home and now you know you can you know
finance your art? It's a forty currently right now in
twenty twenty five, the art financing business is a forty
billion dollar a year industry and it's projected, I believe,
over the next ten years to be a four hundred
billion dollar.

Speaker 8 (37:36):
A year industry.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
People leveraging.

Speaker 8 (37:38):
Yeah, and then numbers of I mean astronomical.

Speaker 15 (37:41):
There's like statistics say there's over two trillion dollars worth
of art and collectibles and private collections.

Speaker 14 (37:47):
All right, so happy Wealth Wednesday's everybody, and your to
do today is to go to Richard Beavers.
