The Wild Wild West.

0:02

Yeah.These are all your crew?

0:03

Yeah.

0:04

See, it's the same way with us.Everybody work with crew.Keep confidence.Don't talk too much.

0:10

Nah, they talk.These three are a problem.They get a couple whiskeys every night at the open mics.Not the open mics, you know what I mean.

0:18

But they tell stuff?

0:19

Oh yeah.

0:20

They fight amongst each other.

0:22

They fight amongst each other immediately.

0:24

Well, now mine started negotiating and gang up on me. I was like, who the fuck?

0:29

I would cut their heads off.The second they unionized, they're dead.

0:35

They're dead.This is no union.We're going to get along great.I'm going to try this with they asses.

0:43

It'd be like Napoleon's cannon right into the French people.Grape shot.

0:47

Right away.Actually, I know Kyle from this is a this is a so you ever hear I talk about the time I was at the laughing skull comedy festival and I was in the green room and it was the men's US soccer team just lost and one of the Lady comics walked in and was like the men's team lost they suck I guess they still get paid more than the women and I was just the one guy who was like Well, it's cause they're, they're not as good.There was one guy in the room with me that was like, don't do it.Why are you doing this?And I was like, hold on a second.Had to be done.

1:34

You were trying to warn him.

1:36

He was like, don't, you don't need to do this.He is, he is, uh, our Jim Kelly.

1:42

We were in the wrong room for it.

1:45

Cause it was just, Was it a bunch of women?Yes.And even the guys were women.The whole group, every single guy in there was like, well, women are just as good at sports.It's just like, you pussy, you never played sports.

2:00

Once you see a bitch get CTE, I have respect.I think they're born with it.But see, to me, here's my feeling.If you want to be equal, you will be treated equal and you don't want equal because equal is the same.And that's what everybody, I want to be equal.No, you don't.

2:23

No, you don't.The time that a motherfucker get off the bus, man, we talking about the Pistons and Lambert and them.If somebody get off the bus and choke you and punch you in the face, but we not even on the court, we just fighting in the parking lot, you can be equal.

2:40

Yeah, I like it.Maybe the WNBA needs it.Actually, they've been fighting a lot.That's what got a lot of, that's actually what picked the league up.

2:48

Do you think that they, but I think that there are certain things, like me being a female comic, women will come to see a man, right, with a guy.It's difficult for a man to come to see a woman, and it's an hour and a half, that's why we end our show the way we end our show, it's an hour and a half of men ain't shit.So what guy is gonna bring a group of his friends to go, let's go see some women, bash us for an hour and a half?and pay for it and get two drinks and some chicken wings.What man wants to do that?

3:19

Gay guys?Yeah, there's some gay guys and sickos.Pretty true, though.Gay guys and sickos.Maybe this guy's into that.

3:26

See, I know gay men that I get along better with a certain type of energy, right?But I know gay men that don't want to be represented the way the stereotype is. I know gay men that fix cars.I know gay men...Are you gay?

3:48

No.Yes.

3:49

I've been saying that, it's so cute.

3:50

He's fighting allegations.Yeah, they just recall.

3:53

He twerks and drinks.I didn't twerk.I forgot he twerked at Drake's.

3:58

I didn't twerk.

3:59

At Drake's party?Yes, he twerked at it.I nodded a little bit.I had to grab him.I go, no, no, no.

4:04

You were twerking at Drake's?

4:07

Hold on a sec.Were you dancing when Sexy Red came on and I had to grab you and go, dude.

4:12

But I wasn't twerking.It was just the vibe.You was doing your version of twerking.

4:17

Yes.

4:19

I do have a little move I bust out but it wasn't.You was doing a Humpty dance.It was before Sexy Red came on.

4:24

It was while Sexy Red was on.Then the DJ pivoted to Sexy Red.Hold on.

4:29

You was doing a Humpty dance.

4:31

You was doing the dog.The key question is how low did you go?

4:35

I didn't go low at all.You drop it one inch.Don't make that face!You thanked me. I love it.I almost danced to Sexy Ray, and I did appreciate that, but it was, it came out of nowhere.

4:47

Almost is crazy.Did you stick your tongue out?Yes.He was looking at me going...

4:52

You love him?Are you in love with him?Am I in love with Shay?

4:58

Yeah.

4:59

Yes.No.Yeah.That's the funniest thing.Not gay, but yes, we all love each other.

5:04

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.My guy.But he did twerk in Tristan.But I didn't twerk.

5:09

So you and Tony Hinchcliffe have sex together?Yes.

5:13

Yes, Cheryl.

5:14

Why are y 'all doing this to me?That's going to be the rumor.I'm about to live in this now.Oh, no.

5:26

But LeMare is the freakiest of the group.True.Yes, Pat.

5:30

Really?

5:30

Yeah.

5:31

No.Tell me.Nothing.

5:39

What's the freakiest thing you do?

5:41

I don't know.

5:43

Are we recording all of this?Yeah.

5:47

What's the freakiest thing?

5:48

I tried to go toan orgy in Milwaukee and it didn't work out.

5:52

That's a good one.

5:53

Yeah.

5:55

I knew you were going to say something crazy.

5:57

A orgy in Milwaukee.

5:59

Yeah, he was with me in Milwaukee and he got on the internet and tried to find an orgy.And then he rode a, I think a, an Uber.

6:06

He took an Uber to a hotel.

6:08

And they said, yo, if you give us 50 bucks, you can come to the orgy.And they just stole 50 bucks from him.

6:15

To me, see, that sounds like a set up.

6:19

Yeah.Yeah, of course.But here's the question, LaMarr, what would you have done had you gone there?I don't know, man.

6:24

He would have fucked everybody.

6:27

Fifty dollars.

6:27

That's a buffet for this fat motherfucker.It's the buffet of sex.He like, oh yeah, fill it up, that's it.The Uber was what, five, $10?The entry fee to the orgy is 50.Are you having a good night?

6:42

There does have to be the Alaskan crab legs of the orgy.Let's save some of that for everybody.

6:50

The funniest part about the people that ripped him off was we got back to New York and he confronted them online and they were like, Actually, where are you right now?He's like, I'm in New York.And they were like, you're not gonna believe it.We're having an orgy tonight.

7:03

50 bucks.So what, did you Venmo on the money or something?What'd you do?

7:09

The first time in Milwaukee.

7:11

You sent them the money online?Yeah.

7:13

Okay, rule number one.Don't pay before you fuck.Well, leave it on the dresser.

7:21

You're supposed to leave it on the dresser.They have deposits nowadays.You gotta do a deposit.Really?Yeah.Is that what we're doing now?

7:28

Not me. I mean, but that's what the business, or was you fucking a man?No.

7:33

Okay.

7:34

No.There was gonna be some fellas in there.I'd say three to one guys.Yeah.

7:39

So then how many people would have been in the orgy?

7:43

You gotta at least 10 or so.

7:45

10 people.That's $50 a pop.That's $50 a pop.That's $500.That's a good night.

7:51

Yeah.

7:52

Who get the money, though?In Milwaukee, that's good.

7:54

I don't know.

7:55

What are we supposed to be talking about?I'm sorry.We're chilling.

7:57

This is exactly what we always talk about.Wouldn't it be nice to host a non -existent orgy, get 500 bucks, and just jerk off by yourself in the hotel room?

8:05

Just be like, I made so much money tonight.

8:08

It's awesome.

8:56

Yeah, now you know the crew.Yeah.

8:57

Yeah.

8:58

That's pretty much.

8:59

Yeah.Your crew is probably similar to my crew.

9:02

Yeah.

9:03

That's why they only smile, and they're like, don't tell our business.

9:07

Why?What are they into?Yeah, what the hell?

9:10

I would say I have the best team in the business because we understand each other, we respect each other, and they keep my secrets.

9:22

My team sucks.

9:23

Really?

9:24

They don't respect me.They tell everybody everything.And then they fight each other.Really?Every night.These guys have three shots of whiskey and go, you motherfucker.

9:34

Really?Yeah.Well, maybe y 'all want to fight each other, Dale and Kyle, now?No?No?Y 'all good?

9:41

So you guys are tight -knit?Very much so.That's nice.

9:45

They're like the big brothers.They nudge me out of my comfort zone, like doing Netflix and even considering a special.I'm very afraid.

9:58

Why?

9:58

I don't know.Putting yourself out there sucks.

10:01

So how many have you done?

10:03

I've only done two.I've only done one Netflix special.OK.

10:05

How do you feel?

10:07

I was nervous.And then once I did it, I was...

10:12

What made you nervous?

10:13

Putting yourself out there.Anytime I make anything and it goes out there, I'm like, why would I ever?

10:18

Because for me, I'm more comfortable in a nightclub.

10:21

For sure.

10:21

Because the language can be relaxed and it's intimate.And if you lose them, you can get them back.

10:27

Yeah.

10:28

In a special, now it's fixed in stone.You know, but but I will say this when Jamie Foxx and Marcus King produced a show, Laughapalooza, and it was filmed in Atlanta.And me and Mike Washington have been going around doing shows right after September 11th.So I was doing some pro -American, pro -President Bush jokes about September 11th in a very hood way.And everybody else in Atlanta was getting up and doing traditional sets, nightclub sets, and I told Jamie, I said, I'm going to bomb.And he was like, why do you think that?

11:08

I said, because I'm about to do some pro -American jokes and pro -president jokes.Because I used to get booed talking about being a Republican and supporting President Bush.But once I did it, and the response, Kyle, you, because you were saying, Kyle's sitting off camera, but it made you respect me more in that humor.

11:40

That's when I realized, oh, you ain't just doing half the titties and suck a dick.Oh, she got a strong mind.I didn't know that.

11:47

But here's the thing.I know that didn't sound right at all.I have a rule.I'm going to take this off -ramp.I have a rule.I don't sleep with, or fuck, or engage sexually anybody I hate.

11:58

Because I'm getting fucked twice.Yeah, you don't fuck who you pay.If you want to be in a relationship with me and you work for me, you must quit.And then we'll see where it goes.But in hearing when we got to know each other and the jokes that he appreciated, I had to take the risk and I needed it to be recorded so it could be timestamped.But when you recorded your special, did you bring back any jokes that had been recorded or done somewhere else to put in the special?

12:39

Really?

12:40

But I don't think there's a problem with that.

12:43

Really?

12:44

Yeah.

12:44

And then you and I were talking and like I talk in my show about being a Republican but being considered a rhino, being considered transphobic, being considered homophobic.

12:58

There's nothing wrong with being considered that.

13:01

Wait, what's a rhino?I get considered everything.A Republican in name only.So in this administration, I've been a registered Republican for decades, right?But in this administration, the Trump administration, I'm considered a rhino, which doesn't bother me. I just feel like one thing I love about the power of comedy is great discussion.You know, you're not going to agree.

13:27

You're not going to like every joke I tell.you know You're not supposed to you supposed to have a certain type of reaction to certain things What I ask the audience to do is sit through the set and figure out what you like and what you don't like But let everybody else around you enjoy it.Yeah, that's fair Yeah, and if you don't like it because I was like really like one of my first jokes was what go good with chili We'll go good with chili Now that you brought up white people, let's talk about they ass.That was one of my first jokes that I was telling.

14:05

Oh, how did the Bush jokes go?

14:07

I bet people were pumped.Well, the way they were told, yes, they were really stoked because they were told in a way that the urban and the black and the street Atlanta audience could understand.It's not for you to agree, but the president is the president.Like if it wasn't Trump, Saying a lot of shit.We'd be like right right crypto, right?Let's get in on this or right, right?

14:36

Let's fuck these motherfuckers up before they get a nuclear weapon, right?It's the it's it's who is coming out of sometimes and the times that we live in but I think That's why I say what I said at the roast.You're not gonna agree.It's a roast and it's a new generation of roast It's no longer rimshot Don Rickles Dean Martin Pearl Bailey, Lucille Ball.

14:59

And it wasn't in a small room where we're all friends.It was in an arena on national television.We never met.That's right.

15:05

And it's international.

15:06

Yeah.

15:06

Right.But what I liked about it was you could see the camaraderie.And I think even talking about the George Floyd joke that Tony told, but I believe on the side of the cookout crew, Pete Davidson represented with the Charlie Kirk joke.

15:23

I agree.You got to be offended by both or neither.That's how I felt about that.

15:28

That's right.But you should be.The reaction should be offense.The Floyd family should be upset.There should be a crew of people that are that are mad because that's the reaction you have.Right?

15:42

Because you're not thinking about freedom of speech, you're thinking about your brother who was murdered by a system.But on the same token, I tell people it's a roast and it's a new generation of roasters.Because everybody's like, sir, how did you feel that they talked about your dead husband committing suicide?Okay, it really truly happened.And it happened over 30 years ago.

For the record.Well, remember, when I did all the interviews.I would never, ever do that without, yeah.

16:13

Yeah, but let me tell you something, Shane.Knowing you, knowing Tony, like I'm sitting next to Tony.This motherfucker is ordering Crown and Coke.And I'm like, so people think you a bigot, but you really a black man.You look like Tony Robbins.

He has like two or three different gold thrones.I never thought about that.I was there two nights ago.

16:45

You lying.

16:46

It's literally the blackest place I've ever seen in my life.

16:50

I'm telling you, that's the feeling I got sitting next to him.I was like, you're black you you either something who beat him up in school i think a lot of people i think he got his ass whooped a lot by the guest he got like it was like a spider man bite and see to me i would love to see tony and kat williams in a buddy cop movie that would be hilarious two little motherfuckers wouldbig attitudes in a movie.Yeah, it'd be great.

17:23

17:24

Remember what I told you.I think you need to remake Smokey and the Bandit.

17:28

I like it.That'd be nice.I'm usually getting John Candy.I get those a lot.Don't hit me with those.

17:34

I don't see.

17:35

Oh, how long have I been on a Saksinda, Wegovia, now I'm on ZepBound, about three years.

18:31

Oh, nice.

18:31

Oh, look at, you can see my weight fluctuate.That's why my book is called I'm Fat Because of You.So I'm writing my life story and it's called I'm Fat Because of You because I wanted to talk about the times that my body was protecting me and then it was attacking me and all the things that I was going through in life.Because I was like, I was a slim goody back when I was in sexual interpretive dance.What?

18:58

You were a slim goody back when you were in sexually interpretive dance.

19:02

That's what we call stripping.

19:04

In academia.Nate did sexual interpretive dance.To sexy red, dude.

19:11

Now that's what they can say you did.Let's get out and do sexual interpretive dance.Yes, when I was much smaller, but then I think stress.

19:21

You were a stripper?

19:22

I attempted to, back then it was called lingerie modeling, and I was in college and I answered an ad.to model, you model the lingerie, and then the guys, it was in a bar, tavern type situation in Chicago.This is a trick.No, it's a true story.

19:41

No, uh -uh, you go in, we put on the lingerie, we model it, and the guy who buys it, you're supposed to strip it off for him.But God lets you know what you can't do, and I wasn't good at it, so I was doing all the Fred Samford.I was making people laugh.You know, Hood do that.You funny.You need to put your clothes on to go home, but you funny.

22:59

They usually are blonde.

23:01

Good.

23:02

Yeah.

23:02

Blonde and smart.

23:05

Not yet.Not yet.

23:07

Not that blonde women are not smart.I'm just saying, do you like a woman who's smart?

23:16

It's tough to find.

23:17

What did Eddie Murphy say in Coming to America?My loins, yeah.Do you want someone that you can engage in conversation?

23:25

Yeah, of course.

23:26

Right, right, right.OK, now see, I don't understand.Like, I've been a widow since my, when my husband died.I have not been in what I consider a long -term relationship because I can be quite reclusive.I like my alone time.

23:44

Yeah, I'm similar with that.

23:46

I don't like to sit up with a man and watch sports with him.Cause I'm not talking to you.

23:53

I'm okay with that.

23:54

Yeah.

23:55

Oh, let me tell you a story.So I had this dude I really, really liked and rarely I let people come around where I live.Right.So he was like, so what you doing tonight?What you want to do tonight?He said, I want to watch the fight.

24:05

I said, why don't you, you know, swing by.So I got the fight ready.Right.I said, what'd you want to eat?And he texts, I said, text me what you want to eat.So I got all the stuff he wanted and everything.

24:15

And then on my side of the bed was a stack of newspapers and magazines.And on his side of the bed was everything he wanted to eat and everything.So he was like, so what you doing?I said, I'm shutting the fuck up so you can watch the fight.And he was like, so you don't want to talk?

24:29

That's wonderful.

24:29

Why the fuck am I talking to you?We going to watch the fight.Fight.

24:32

This is great.Yeah.And he, it didn't work.What's he?No, it didn't.Dumbass.

24:37

He wanted to talk.But that's the, that's odd.I don't know why, like if we're watching, okay, what's your favorite team?I saw all the shirts and what's your favorite team?

24:45

Well, it's Eagles and Notre Dame.Notre Dame football.

24:48

Okay.Now, Kyle, tell them.I watch college sports.

24:52

Yeah.

24:54

When I'm not, when I'm working, I watch enough of it, but when I'm not working, Saturdays.Saturdays for college football.That's right.I don't know what the fuck I'm looking at.I just know I watch college sports.Hold on a second.

25:07

I watch college sports.And when I was drinking, I had my beer and my shit and my snacks.But nobody's there with me.Nobody's there.Nobody's there.Nobody's there with me. I'm just watching sports.

25:19

Now, I will text Jim.Jim Kelly.is my sports guru.Like when I watch Stanley Cup stuff, and I go, Jim, my only question, how do they know where the hockey puck is?I can't see shit.Not the football one.

25:34

If I was that cool, I would've told you that up front.I got a fun story about Jim Kelly.What?So I had to do the Super Bowl like two years ago.This rich guy asked me to go to this dinner, and he wanted me to do stand -up, but I was like, I don't know if I'm doing stand -up.But we just went to this like steak dinner at this, it was like a long table, but it was just NFL Hall of Famers.

25:57

So it was like for real, everybody.I was sitting next to Jerry Rice.It was like Jim Kelly, Shannon Sharp.It was, oh, Nate was there.Nate twerked.

26:09

Who were you twerking for?

26:13

It was a different me thing you did to me there.You called me a pedophile a few years ago.Yeah, that's how I closed.

26:21

Thankfully, Jim Kelly led the table in prayer before, because otherwise I had no material.But it was just Jewish bankers and NFL Hall of Famers.

26:33

But they have senses of humor.Jerry Rice is my fraternity brother.I'm a member of Zeta Phi Beta.He's a member of Phi Beta Sigma.

26:39

The only thing he laughed at was when I called Nate a pedophile.He probably thought that was funny.Then he lifted his head up and laughed.

26:44

And I'm sure you guys saw the Club Shea Shea interview I did with him.

26:50

No, I didn't see that.Oh, yeah.

26:53

Shannon and I sat in a car.for hours when he was playing in Denver.So I was in Denver.I think it was when they first opened the first location of the improv.And what's the other guy?Is it Terrell Davis?

27:07

Yeah.

27:08

So I thought Terrell Davis was Shannon and Shannon was Terrell.So he was like, so what do you want to do after this?I said, I'm gonna sell these CDs.Back then I was selling CDs and cassette tapes and posters.So he was like, what do you want to do?I said, okay, I want to go on a carriage ride, right?

27:24

Cause I saw the horse outside, I want to go on a carriage ride.He said, come on, I'll take you.And this is Shannon talking to me, but I think it's Terrell.And so I go, okay, let me, let me get this money right here.So he starts walking up these stairs of the club and goes, come on, if you coming, I said, who the fuck you talking to?I said, I'm not these bitches in here.

27:43

I don't give a fuck about you, motherfucker.He was like, I said, I was like, and I said, motherfucker, I'm already me.Right?

27:50

So anyway, it was sexy.

27:57

I got off on him when he said, come on, if you coming, I was like, oh, dude, I was like, wait a minute, bitch, stand up for yourself.

28:03

So I pack up my stuff after I sell it, because even the white girls was like, he's telling you to come on.I was like, bitch, get a backbone.What the fuck are you talking about?So we get together, we get in the car.And we can't find the carriage, right?So we sitting in the car for hours talking about what type of relationship we could or could not have.

28:26

And fast forward to Club Shea Shea, where we've ever talked about it side by side.

28:32

That's great.

28:32

I was definitely wanting to be a Mrs. Shad and Sharpe, but it wasn't meant to be.And we all stayed friends, you know?

28:42

That's awesome.

28:43

Yeah, that's what you would hope.I mean, every man I've been with, I'm still friends with.You know, I'm like, cool, if they're alive.but I'm still friends.

28:53

Can I tell you something?Can I tell you honestly, and that's what I've been doing in the interviews is telling people, listen, if they had not come with respect and said, these are the topics, but I didn't know what was going to be said, and I did not know that Tony was gonna do the George Floyd joke.But when he did it, like I was over there like scribbling it on paper and asking God, send me the response.Send me the response like the response to you.Send me the response, but I don't wanna be mean -spirited.But with Tony and the George Floyd joke, my only feeling is if you don't have the right response that blows up the room even further, you've set back the cause.

29:37

So sometimes it's say less.If you ain't got nothing good to cut his throat with, figuratively about comedy, shut the fuck up.Because you're going to make it worse, in my opinion.

29:46

What do you think?I agree.I think that's, I think you nailed it.

29:50

Yeah.

29:50

Yeah.

29:51

I feel like the, so especially with the, like the late husband talk, it was like this deeply personal, like a tragedy.And the thing no one talks about is like, you know, it's, it's like horrific to even think about and to be up there and just like laughing and making a good joke.And to me it's like a triumph where you're like, he rose above it.You made a big joke out of everything.No one ever talks about that.They're like, it's, it's, I thought it was, I watched it.

30:13

I was like, this is beautiful.And then you came up and I think Shane said a lot of your stuff was kind of like off the cuff the last minute, not even on the teleprompter.I was like, that like really blew me away because I was like, how do you do that in that room?I would be glued to the teleprompter, sweating, reading it.And to be like, all right, I have my own notes I just formulated on a stage, on live TV, in front of an arena of people.I really was.

30:34

I was like, this is amazing.

30:35

Faith in God.

30:36

Yeah.

30:37

Ask God, send me the words.Feeling safe.Feeling like I'm not being attacked, so I don't have to be defensive.I don't have to be thin -skinned.And culturally, we cracked jokes when he died.We did.

30:54

We cracked jokes.I had to call my father and go, can you come here and identify the body?My father was like, why?I was like, because you my daddy.Go on in there and look.Go on in there.

31:06

But in stress, sometimes humor, equalizes stress.So for me, when I first got to the talk on CBS, one of the first jokes I told was this joke about my best friend Peaches.Now I'm in Chicago, my husband dies, jumps off a building.My best friend, Peaches, tries to outcry me at my husband's funeral.And we're in a, what is it, funeral home, 71st and Halsted.And I'm sitting up front, and in my family, we don't, because we're from down South, and my father is conservative Southern, but we don't express emotion out in public.

31:47

So I'm sitting up front.and we hear this wailing coming back from the back of the room and it's my best friend Peaches and she's wailing and coming up and she is showing out.Black people know she is showing out at my husband's funeral.Now her husband is sitting About four pews back.

32:06

I'm just thinking about my family at a funeral.If one person showed out, they'd beat their asses.They'd be like, what are you doing?

32:13

No, we all looking around like, who is that?And she's wailing.And so my father is nudging me and I'm nudging him.I'm like, I don't know what to do.She crying.So I walk up to her and I put my arms around her and I go, bitch, fuck are you doing?

32:29

And we laughing, but it looks like we're crying with each other.And I said, I'm gonna let you go.Cause your husband, Ivory Eugene Granberry.is four pews back, watching you cry over my dead husband.I'm gonna let you go.He gonna fuck you up when you get home.

32:51

But I couldn't say those words.And Julie Chen Moonves was the one who said, let's make it TV friendly, but let's put some words in it and give it a little seasoning.

33:02

Very funny.

33:02

But when you say culturally, sometimes humor is the thing.It's the most uncomfortable humor that really kind of, it kind of lessens the tension and the stress.Wouldn't you say?

33:17

Yeah, absolutely.

33:18

Do you feel you've ever gone too far in something?

33:21

Yeah.Yeah, for sure.But then you're like, you know, as soon as you do it in a club, as soon as you're wrong, you go, shit.

33:30

Well, well, but I mean puns are supposed to get groans.A scatological humor, shit jokes, you know, they make you giggle like a kid.You know, the analysis of humor is what I love.But if you dissect the joke so hard, it's like a frog.You got to kill it to dissect it.But to me, for the people who are upset and on social media, I feel like you have a right to be that, because now I get to talk about mental illness in men, and specifically black men, that men feel, I don't need therapy, I don't need this, I don't need that, right, in this society.

34:07

But people say, well, how could you sit there?Oh, it was offensive.Well, don't be offended for me, if I'm not offended, but be offended for your point of view, and you can have your point of view.We're not saying you can't have it.Have it all on social media, because most people trying to attempt to do stand -up, will never understand how it feels.It's like the greatest sex in the world with a bunch of people.

34:34

You not.

34:34

He was just trying to keep the high going.

34:36

Milwaukee, Milwaukee's going wild.Milwaukee, $50.$50.

34:43

Now what did you want to ask me?I'm sure y 'all had some questions.What do you want to ask me?

34:47

Yeah, well really my one question was like, and you kind of answered it, was like how did you kind of put together that ad hoc response to everything that you said?You just kind of channeled God and just chilled out and relaxed.What do you, I guess this is a question I had to when like, as I've always wondered this before, like, you know, you've suffered this personal tragedy.Was there part of you that worried like, I can't be funny again after this?It was like, I always wonder that if I be false and like, or some like horrible tragedy happens to me will just like destroy my sense of humor and I'll become like, serious and sad all the time.

35:20

I felt like I had no choice for me to survive.That's why the book is I'm Fat Because of You, because I had to survive.I had to find a way to pay my bills.I had to find a way to build a career.So I just looked at it as, and my father was like, don't worry me, why not you?Like tragedy can't come to your door like it comes to anybody else's door.

35:40

So the first thing I thought, what is funny about this?What is funny?A lot of people say, well, why would you make a joke about being raped?And after I was raped, I went to the stage with it because that's the place where I'm most comfortable in talking to people about something.

35:58

You feel it?Could've used that one in the roast.

35:59

Yeah, I thought you were.No, no, no, no.They told me that you guys might talk about me being raped.

36:07

I would.First of all, I would definitely not do that.This lady got raped.What a loser.

36:13

That's crazy.

36:15

But would you say that is what roasting is now?It's no longer you a hockey puck.Roasting in y 'all generation in this time span of comedy, you hit really below the belt.And for me, I feel like the only thing you got to deal with, you ain't got to deal with me, because I'm your colleague.You got to deal with the motherfuckers outside on behalf of what they mad about, right?But to me, if you worry about that, you restrict yourself to great comedy, right?

36:46

So for me, Every tragedy in my life, I bring it to the stage so that I can show the audience, you can survive any tragedy.If God lets you open your eyes the next day, okay, survive it.Because we talking shit.If one of your relatives at the hospital that you hate, and we all in the hospital room going, if we could just pull the plug on this.See how we all laugh?That's what humor does.

37:13

Even though we know we not gonna do it, or one of us might, but the rest of us not.That's what humor is for.It's gallo humor.It's Irish wakes.It's black funerals.It's funny, black funeral.

37:25

Hey, dig that motherfucker up and check his pockets.Why?Because he owe you $50.That's humor that gets you over a tragedy.

37:34

I didn't know, I wasn't certain your husband, your late husband was black.Was not.And then when I, the type of, the way he died, I was like, this sounds like a, this is a very white guy thing to do.

37:46

Jump off a building?

37:47

Yeah.

37:48

How so?What do you mean?Because that takes courage?

37:51

No.I mean, it does.No, I'm not disrespecting him.

37:55

People argued me down when I talked about that.In mental illness, I felt it took him great courage to be in such despair that he would do something that there's no way I could have done that.No way.But for that type of despair and that type of stress and people say, well, you know, because I had some therapy and and dealing with some things.But my thing is, I did not.kill my husband, but I may have exacerbated his stress.

38:29

And so now that comes through in my comedy and saying what type of companion I want to be to a man because I've watched the man I love.

38:38

You weren't talking during the game, were you?No, not at all.

38:42

Now, that is one thing.Now, I might ask you a question in a movie theater, but I don't like to talk.

38:50

No, that's great.

38:51

Because I talk for a living.Don't you have moments where you don't want to talk at all?

38:54

Yeah.For the second I get off the road, I sit on that couch and don't talk for three days.

38:59

And women don't understand it, do they?They get mad at you.That's where that joke comes from.You are out doing whatever you're doing.Your man is out doing whatever he's doing.And as soon as you come home, you want to talk to him.

39:13

Give him a minute.Let him shit, shower, and shave.And then let him get situated and give you a signal that conversation should come forth.

39:23

God, that'd be really nice, yeah.

39:25

That'd be so nice.See?That's why I tell that joke.That's why I tell that joke.It's literally just like, you were talking to everybody else all weekend.I watched you.

39:31

Right.It's like, yeah, that's my fucking job.That's right.But I don't want to talk now.They don't hear that.

39:38

But then, is that why you're single?

39:41

Uh, kind of.

39:42

Yeah.

39:43

That's one of the reasons, yeah.

39:44

Do you, when you finish the show, how do you feel about, because, I mean, Stand -up comedy is the most sexually attractive thing to do aligned with singing.You gotta see me do stand -up.No, it's a sexual, to make a woman laugh or to make a man laugh, it's a sexual thing.That's why it's so powerful.I'm making a lot of guys laugh.Making all these guys laugh, fuck.

40:11

Well, not that guy right there, yeah.Get all these guys breakdown.

40:15

That guy, that's why he's happy.That's why he comes to work every day, all right.I like it, I like it.stop thinking about that.Right, but then when you stop doing it, when the show is over, what do you do with all that adrenaline?

40:27

I drink.

40:28

Okay, I used to.It's not like I will never drink again, but I really wanna see how I can reset my body for longevity.But I will tell you this, I drink because I like the taste of alcohol.And it's not that I like what it does to me. I like the taste of good whiskey, or the taste of good gin, or the taste of a great martini.And I used to smoke cigars, but I don't anymore.But I like that sort of thing.

40:59

But are you drinking because your adrenaline is up, and now you need to pump the brakes?Because alcohol is a depressant.Or do you drink because you like the taste of alcohol?

41:09

I like drinking.

41:09

Right.And you drink by yourself?

41:11

No.

41:16

No, it's almost entirely men.You should see my green room.It's literally...

41:23

Why you don't slip to Mickey and then get what you want?Because I see you looking at him.Slip to Mickey to drink and then, you know, you go, finally I got Shane where I want him.Got your hat turned back, got your socks on, giddy.

41:42

Bad boy.

41:42

He's a bad boy for life.Giddy.

41:46

Usually just guys.

41:48

Well, see, but that's the wind down, right?It's the wind down.And remember, we used to have this thing, and everybody goes to it.It's called the company field trip.And the company field trip is where I would take my entire team to the strip club.And I would bring in stacks of money.

42:10

You'd love it.You'd love it.It's a lot of fun.A lot of great food.Where were we?Magic City?

42:16

Magic City in Atlanta.

42:19

The wings are amazing.The wings are good.The broccoli.I fucking grubhubbed them.

42:22

Yeah.I didn't even go to Magic City.I got fucking lemon pepper wings in my mouth.The wings and the broccoli.The wings and the broccoli.

42:29

And the service is amazing.And we would go in there, and people would say, well, Cheryl, why do you go in the strip clubs?One, to talk to the girls about, listen, I came last year.

42:38

I like to talk to them, too.That's right.

42:40

Your ass still here.

42:41

Yeah.

42:41

You said you were doing this for beauty school.Why the fuck you still here?Or college or whatever.But then also, it's the only place where the guys aren't looking at me.They're talking to me about politics and sports and current events or street life.They're not looking at me.

42:59

They're talking to me.They're looking at her.And then she primes them up.And then I just lean over and go, so what you doing after this?

43:07

It's kind of genius, honestly.

43:10

It's funny.It takes like 12 naked tits to just focus on conversation.

43:19

Sitting next to her just like, so how have you been?I never even asked.What's going on with you?

43:24

How's little Tay Tay doing?

43:25

How the kids?What's happening?

43:26

Yes.

43:31

Me?Yeah.Who, me?

43:33

Stinking Lincoln.

43:34

I got, yeah, just the stinking Lincoln.July 17th, please come to Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.It's the most important moment of my life.

43:41

Yeah, that'll be fucking nasty.

43:42

And if it doesn't go well, I'm gonna leave this earth.I'm gonna get pyro underneath the stage, and I'm gonna tell them, go ahead.Yeah, just flame me. I'm out.

43:58

Guys, I picked up some comedy club dates all summer long.We're going to be having fun together.I'll be six five, June 5th and 6th.I'll be at the Summit City Comedy Club, Fort Wayne, Indiana.And that is that's in just a few weeks.

44:09

I ran into a buzzsaw over there.Did you really?Yeah.

44:12

What happened?

44:14

Just an absolute buzzsaw.Negative experience.We were just hammered.It's a fun club.

44:18

Yeah.I'll be there in the dog days of the summer.Levity Live, Huntsville, Alabama.The Stardom Comedy Club, Birmingham.I'm excited for that.And Spokane Comedy Club, Spokane, Washington.

44:28

Also, it's not up yet, but I have a bunch more dates, so check them out on metmccluskey .com.

44:37

Goodbye.

44:38

How do you wind down now after the show that's something I always struggle with how do you like because I'd feel crazy I just yeah, how did you not drink after the roast?

44:45

That was fun.Um, I kept telling myself you don't wanna you I got a goal that I'm trying to get to sure I kept telling stuff stay focused It's like being an athlete.Most people don't look at us as athletes because it's such a sedentary life and you know, it's Excess Right?But being a stand -up comic, you have to be able to remember what you're doing, then remember what joke, when it doesn't work, to replace it with another joke.You have to be ready to, if I've been drinking all night, now I'm puffy on camera, right?So it's a lot of regimental type of training.

45:21

But for me, after the roast, I just felt relieved.That's first thing.I wanted to get out of my shoes.But also, I normally don't go to after parties.I don't hang out.And rarely do I go to what they call Hollywood parties, because I'm kind of reclusive.

45:38

But then I thought, come on, Cheryl, you need to engage people, because you need work.I need work, especially there's no TV shows, no movies being done.I was on daytime TV for 14 years.So for me, I thought, OK, do this.And then I never got representation.And the things that happened so fast after that, but also I wanted to enjoy the high of.

46:04

working with my colleagues.That's what I want to experience it without alcohol in my system so I can remember it.Why you smiling?

46:16

I had a great time.I was fucked up.I love my colleagues.Make me love them even more.

46:24

When you walked up to me with the Bud Light in hand, I said, that's the guy.That's the guy.And I thought that was the coolest thing.But the chance that we talked backstage, but then also to have a 45, 30 minute conversation with The Rock.about life.Okay.

46:42

How'd you feel?

46:43

I've met him before and he's the nicest.

46:45

Yes.

46:46

It's crazy how nice he is.Yes.Yes.When he was making fun of me, he was talking about me and him working out together and then sitting in a sauna.It was true.We really did that.

46:54

And me and him were in a sauna and he was just the coolest.

46:57

Yes.

46:58

Nicest.It was weird.

46:59

Yeah.

46:59

It was, you know, and having our body types sitting across from each other.Okay.

47:04

But would you work out with him and, you know, Would I or did I?Would you?

47:09

On a consistent basis?No, fuck no.

47:16

No.He's up at three in the morning working out.

47:20

But he's a really great person.Very spiritual.There's a photograph, the Pacquiao Mayweather fight.There's a photograph of me and Mark Wahlberg on some kind of landing.And we're just really ragging on Jake Gyllenhaal.while he's being interviewed, and he's a really good dude.

47:43

Spiritually good.Good Catholic.Yeah, but he understands his humanness, you know.That's one good thing about being in the entertainment business.You come across people you see in TV and movies, and you get to talk to them, and you'll find out the good or the bad.and go, you a trip, or I'm glad you are.

48:03

I've met too many bad ones.

48:04

Really?

48:05

Not yet.

48:06

Of those that are not, you don't wanna name them?

48:08

No, I don't think I've really met any.

48:11

Rarely do I get my feelings hurt.People are pretty cool.Same way.But that speaks more to who you guys are than who the person is.You know, because you're not going to track too much bullshit.You got hands, Shane.

48:23

Yes, you do.You got hands.It's been a while.You put your beard down.As soon as you put your beard down.

48:28

Yeah, miss a punch and fall down.

48:31

You're stupid.

48:33

Pants fall down.You're stupid.

48:35

That one I got to step up and throw these little hands.

48:37

You got to throw these little baby hands.No, that's why I keep my...My squad of hitters.You mean Big Baby?That Big Baby over there.Big Baby.

48:47

That's cuddly do -right right there.That's cuddly do -right.

48:50

He'll squeeze somebody.He'll get in there and squeeze them.

48:58

So you're lovers, not fighters.No, we try to fight.We're drinkers.We try to fight.It's a swing and a miss, ladies and gentlemen.

49:08

But I would say I was, I would go around, went to the after party, but I was like, come on, Kyle, let's get in the car.Why?Because it's time to go.

49:18

Yeah.

49:19

Yeah.Even doing Tony's podcast, um, last night and then people go, there's a party after.Oh yeah.Oh yeah.And I was like, Hey, let me, let me do my thank yous and thank you for having me.And, uh, you know, you get to a stage in your career where you're like, this is wonderful.

49:36

You kids have fun.I'm gonna go to bed.Turn the lights out.Make sure you put the humidifier on.

49:42

I did leave that after party.Early.After the roast, I left.Yeah.

49:45

Really?

49:46

Yeah.But then I was walking out and there was TMZ.Yes.They got me.What'd they ask you about?I was trying to find Louis.

49:52

Our one friend was aI don't think he'll mind.He was on Molly, I think.Oh, yeah, he doesn't care.And I walked out and TMZ was out there and they're like, what's up, man?How do you think that went?

50:02

And I was like, I'm trying to find my Mexican friend.He's on drugs.And they followed me around the corner and Lewis was sitting there like.And I was like, this is him.Because right when I walked out, the door guy was like, there's a guy named Lewis who says he's with you and he keeps bothering us.You got to get him the fuck out of here.

50:21

I was like, damn.And then TMZ was like, what's up, dude?

50:24

How do they not air that?That's a great interview.

50:25

I don't know, I hope they have it.That's a great interview.

50:28

How often do you come to LA?

50:30

Never.

50:31

Really?

50:31

Yeah.

50:33

I only really go places for shows, to do shows, so once a year, twice a year.

50:37

Really?Yeah.See, I look at LA as a, it's a small country town with a lot of big, inflated people, you know?It's really, everybody knows everybody.

50:50

That's true.

50:51

It's smaller than people think.It just appears big because it's, you know, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Century City.But if you actually get in it, you're like, oh, it's just like regular people.You just have maybe a lot of money or a lot of power.

51:06

Yeah.I'd never go to LA.Yeah.I like LA started out as a puritanical religious community.Funny enough, the movie industry came in and they were like, eh, maybe not.Yeah.

51:17

Yeah.I like California in general.I just like the It is awesome.

51:21

Yeah, it's nice.You know what you would really love?

51:23

What's that?

51:23

San Joaquin Valley.It feels like the South.It's a lot of farmland.When I went to high school, I went to Atwater High, Castle Air Force Base.We had Aggies, and so the Aggies are kind of like the country and the Cowboys and stuff like that.

51:41

That's nice.

51:42

Yeah, you would really like it.

51:44

I would like it, yeah.

51:44

You would like it a lot.A lot of drinking.

51:47

I like drinking.A lot of shotguns and guns.looking at farms.Yeah, not working.

51:52

Yeah, right.

51:52

And there you go.Yeah, yeah, yeah.Got to go to Napa.

51:54

Napa's nice.I was supposed to go this weekend.You can get hammered on farms.

51:58

Why?What happened?

51:59

I was I'm tired.True.I didn't want to go.It was like a music festival.Yeah.Yeah.

52:04

Yeah.You wouldn't feel good afterwards.No.Yeah.Get hammered.So what's what's the plan then?

52:09

So you said after the roast, it was just things kind of connected and took off.What's what's the plan outside of the special?

52:16

I would say continuing to work on the road, because I love working the road, me and Kyle on I Need a Job Tour.That's why we named it that, because like most Americans, we need work.I want to get deeper into podcasting.

52:31

I was just about to say, do you have like an interview show you do or anything?

52:34

Kyle and I are working on politics and punchlines as the podcast, because I want to be able to talk about the politics of all situations, including politics.And the punchline is the humorous thing that comes out of that discussion and move on to interview people I want to start with just me and Kyle Because you can't depend on the interview because the interview either might not show up or might not be good Yeah, if you guys aren't good together your chemistry, then you don't have a show So I want to get in the podcast.I want to go back to terrestrial radio.I believe in radio Even if I'm just a contributor in all formats.Sherlonda was Great American Talent Search.We're doing the first one in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

53:21

And I believe that - What kind of talent?It's everything.

53:25

Everything?

53:25

Spoons.Someone's going to play the spoons?Spoons, washboard.If you do hair and you can put in a quick weave in 60 seconds, that's your talent.That's great.If your dog jumped through a hoop, or if it bark and sound like it's singing, that's a talent.

53:40

That's good.You can do a monologue.but if you are a singer or a singing group or a band.you must master the past.That's classic rock, classic country, classic R &B, classic soul, classic gospel, classic Latin, whatever you're doing.

53:57

Yes, classic hip hop.One guy's up there like, hey everybody, my name is Jim.

54:02

Yes, yes, yes.Because what it does, it brings in the demographic that remembered all that music, right?If somebody gets up and does Ronnie Milsap, wouldn't it be great if a white dude got up and was singing some type of country song, maybe even a George Jones song, but then said to the audience, let me show you what else I can do, and then start singing Keith Sweat.

54:27

It'd be wonderful.Wouldn't it?And I come out and have my dog jump through a hoop, and I'm like, hey, everyone's saying that.

54:33

Some guy with a fucking pair of spoons is sitting backstage going, oh, fuck, I gotta follow that.That's it.

54:39

Wait a minute.So would you guys help me pull it together?

54:43

Matt would.We'll perform, yeah.I like playing music.

54:47

Yeah, but it's anybody doing anything.He's got a blind dog.There you go.A blind dog playing the spoons.It's hilarious.You can't beat that kind of talent.

Benji.

55:05

That sounds nice, though.I like the multi -genre, like, let's see it all.Let's see what you can do.

55:11

But it crosses, the reason I want to engage radio with it, it crosses all formats.And I want to do the preliminary rounds through comedy clubs.So it's really an elevated version of the open mic hosted by local comedians and local radio jocks.And then when you get to the final round.then that's where you really have, it's a bigger experience for the community.It brings in small businesses, it brings in corporations, but it brings the community together.

55:37

If your fire department got up and did new additions,it would really be a great experience for that.But the one we're doing in Lake Charles is doing Juneteenth, and I asked them while we're tabulating the results, could we do a reenactment of Juneteenth?

55:56

I'll be a part of that.

55:58

Now, what would you be wearing, blue or gray?Blue.

56:02

Come on, you see the house.

56:04

I know.I just want you to say it for the people.But don't you think, to me, that's what brings us together, right?And to do something fun like that after we do the I Need a Job Tour, my next tour will be Sheryl Underwood's Great American Talent Search.

56:20

Oh man, I was going to make a terrible joke.OK, Reggie.You know what the guys did after Juneteenth?What did they do?They went on the I Need a Job Tour.They said, oh shit, I need to go on tour.

56:33

Listen to me, listen to me, listen to me.For the brothers and sisters that's watching, he means the Fisk Jubilee Singers.

56:43

That's what he means.Okay, so we got you on camera.You gonna help me pull this together?Yeah.because I think it'd be great for the country.And you can find talent.

56:56

And if you want to put Afrobeat or EDM underneath some classics, you got to do so.I just think we can find the next Styx or Boston or even Lynyrd Skynyrd.Yeah, I think because all of that, these kids do not understand the fun we had in forming a group or making a band or, you know, trying to make this music or this and coming together, you know, as entertainers.How could Michael Jackson, be vilified, die, and then become the best -selling movie, but all his music is going back up the charts, if there isn't something there.right?Yeah.

57:36

And so for me, I just want to bring the country together and I believe in this as something that would bring us together.and could possibly turn into something really, really great.

57:47

That's awesome.

57:47

That'd be nice.Yep.What else you want to know?Is it time for me to go?Let me look at...Oh, look at the time.

57:52

Oh, okay.Yeah.

57:54

That's another thing, too, that I have a tendency to do.I could be with a man and I feel like I'm getting a little too relaxed, a little too talkative, and I go, you know, I think I need to go to the bathroom, and then I'll just sneak out of the building.

58:12

No, once these phones came out, I would text her from the car and go, hey, call me later, or I'm gonna call you when I get home.That stops the, oh, she left?No, she really likes me, but I snuck out.

58:24

I still would be like, I think I scared her.

58:26

Scared of what?

58:27

If a lady escaped?Yeah.

58:31

Well, if I'm talking, if I'm lingering, my dad had a saying, a saying.

58:36

Oh, that'd be, that's nice.

58:37

Linger long, linger long, but die you must.I don't want to linger.That's how country's held up.We from Arkansas.

58:45

Yeah.

58:45

We from Arkansas.So to me, yeah, he said linger long, but die you must.That's right.At time I make a monkey eat red pepper.You know, he had these great Southern things.Think about that.

58:57

That's nice.

58:57

That's right.It's tough for me to figure out, but I like it.Yeah.Chicken ain't nothing but a bird and bush ain't nothing but chewed up grass.That was my dad, right?So to me, if I'm, if I feel I'm lingering, I will make a getaway, you know?

59:13

Yeah.Lingering after you hook up or, cause that's a great time.If a lady escaped after that, I'd be like, that's wonderful.

59:23

Clinginess is a problem.

59:24

Yeah.

59:24

Yeah.To me, I kinda resist, maybe I'm, you think I'm.a commitment foe, wouldn't you say, fellas on my team, I'm a commitment foe?Possibly.Well, listen, I believe in love, I believe in monogamy, I'd like to get married another time, but I believe marriage is, till death do us part, I talk about it in my show, but I want to go through the courtship, like I believe you should not live with a man in the house, and I could be married to a guy, and not live in a house until we're ready to live together.Because that's what fucks up the relationship, in my opinion, when you rush cohabitation and you're not ready.

1:00:04

So for me, like if I'm back in my one and done days, sleep with a guy, I would like wait for him to go to sleep and I would just borrow my clothes up and sneak out the hotel.

1:00:16

It's wonderful.Nothing better than waking up and be like, oh, nice.

1:00:22

And if I'm at his house, I would sneak out the house and put my car in reverse and let it coast out so the car wouldn't start.

1:00:32

That's another one where I'm starting to get worried.

1:00:35

No, no, because, hey, Kyle, do you remember that time that I pulled the young, handsome man?

1:00:41

Basketball dude.Yep.From the front row.

1:00:44

And what did I do?Didn't I call you and I said - You snuck out.

1:00:46

And I was like, why are you whispering?I said, shh.I was like, oh, oh, oh.

1:00:51

I said, come get the luggage.And you was like, why are you whispering?Shh, come get the luggage.And don't let the elevator ding, because I'm right next to the elevator.Because I didn't want to see that pitiful look in y 'all face when the woman leaves.I was like, shh.

1:01:09

You know that pitiful face is fake, right?You know that's fake.

1:01:14

Now, some of you looking sad.No, don't leave.Some of you look sad.They look, why are you leaving?Where are you going?No, that's fine.

1:01:20

I thought we were going to go get something to eat after this.

1:01:23

No, no, no.I like my alone time.That's fake.

1:01:27

That's good.

1:01:29

Nah.We should do a dating show.

1:01:32

I rarely talk about it, but yeah.

1:01:36

But no, because I think women need to hear what men really feel.

1:01:42

Nothing.

1:01:44

See, I think y 'all do feel something.Y 'all just don't believe that women are going to listen.

1:01:50

It's just stupid.

1:01:56

That's not the right girl for you.

1:01:57

I saw you cry, you bitch.

1:02:00

Okay, okay.What sporting event did you cry at?

1:02:05

So many.

1:02:08

Thank you.That's right.Who gets the scholarship?The walk on.

1:02:17

Oh, that's every time.It's over.Down syndrome guys hitting threes.

1:02:20

Yeah, it makes you cry.It makes you cry.

1:02:22

Putting a guy in, yeah, special needs guy on the bench comes in, hits a couple threes.Fuck, that's beautiful.

1:02:28

Yeah.

1:02:29

Yeah.

1:02:30

So why can't you cry in that?

1:02:32

I could, yeah.Even to one tear.That's nice.Yeah, I'm okay with that.

1:02:37

If she's smart, she won't rag you for it.She'll understand.He does have humanity.

1:02:43

Yeah.

1:02:43

But shut the fuck up.Sometimes, bitches, you ain't gotta say everything to this dude.Just notice everything.

1:02:50

That'd be nice.Yeah.I feel a lot of feedback myself.

1:02:56

Yeah, you get some feedback.

1:03:02

I get a lot of feedback.

1:03:02

See, I just don't think we need to talk about everything.You know, sometimes when a man is ready to talk to you, be ready to listen.And sometimes don't answer back.Just listen to him and nod.Go, mm -hmm, mm -hmm.

1:03:14

Wonderful.

1:03:14

I got it.But sometimes I'll say, are you cool?Are we cool?Are we still together?Are you cool?

1:03:20

I feel like you need some time behind you before you can eat the proverbial pepper of just not bothering a guy.That hard.

1:03:27

Time plus distance equals clarity.I'm going to leave you alone so that I don't shoot you.I'm going to let you have your space because you're talking to me crazy.You're kind of flagrant right now.I know you mad about some bullshit.I didn't know that was your father.

1:03:43

Motherfucker, why is you in my face?It's listening.You listen to a guy.Also figure out what he eats.Figure out what his comfort zone is.Make that great, because then he's going to make everything great for you.

1:04:00

100%.Happy home, peace of mind.Makes a man come back.Is this Lemare?It's true.That's right.

1:04:08

Me and Lemare live together.

1:04:09

So will you find the man of your dreams?

1:04:12

That's me.He doesn't make me anything.Lemare hasn't cooked once.Actually, he made chicken alfredo.That was nice.

1:04:23

There's chicken curry in there from a week ago.

1:04:25

That's in that fucking jug in there?Yeah.Throw that out.That's been fucking disgusting.Come on, he's got a jug of fucking chicken curry in there.That's fucking gross.

1:04:37

I didn't know where to put it.

1:04:39

Throw it out.Throw it out.But how are we doing?That's that's good.Yeah.All right.

1:04:45

Thank you very much.Thank you for having me.Thank you.

1:04:48

I was stoked when I heard you were coming on.This is awesome.
