  Speaker 1: tough it's a tough situation, you know. And and the
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: show's been on forty years and and everybody that gets
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: on the show has a same story. I was talking
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: to Michael Shay, who's a funny comic and he's a
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: writer on the show now. And you know, with the
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: issue of the new sisters coming in, uh the women,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: well they had three three they had they had one
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: as an actress and uh two two as writers. And well, yeah,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: they're like, you know, we're gonna make sure we don't have,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: we got we got, We're gonna make sure, like I
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: think like two of the sisters have very ethnic names
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: like Sahir or Shahir and and uh and one of
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: them got ethnic hair. Yeah, yeah, like they said, you
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: know what, Lauren was like, you know what, We're gonna
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: make sure people knew that we want we want the
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: darkies here, you know. And uh. But it's good for
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: all of them because it sort of uh spreads out
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the attention to all three of them as opposed to
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: just one sister, because the show is hard to begin with.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: If you if you white weather, if you white black, whatever,

  Speaker 1: when I see the women lining up to you know,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: take pictures or just give a hug or whatever, I
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: look past them and if I see that dude, I
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: accept my hand to the dude first, like, hey, my man,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: thanks for coming out. I don't want your lady, you know,

• 7:24
  Speaker 1: hands in the rodging his zones. Anyway. Yeah, I'm a man,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I ain't gonna say stop that. But I look at
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: dude like, hey, man, why don't you get in this picture.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: I do what I can for the next man, because
• 7:34
