  Speaker 1: We do the behind the scenes of the grind check-in,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: which is a real check-in where I ask myself, and
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: you guys can take a moment to ask yourselves, how
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: are you really feeling? When you're on the grind, that
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: is not something you do. And I wanted to do
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: better at taking care of myself. So I built this
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: in as a segment to the show because we here daily.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: So if I'm checking in on myself today, how am
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I really feeling? You know, I've been thinking a lot
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: and having conversations a lot about what this new... rendition
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: or era or just level of the grind looks like.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I want to work smarter and not harder. And I
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: think out of fear that, you know, everything I worked for,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: it was going to come today, be gone tomorrow or whatever.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: one wrong decision was going to, you know, stop everything
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: in its tracks. Like I've just been very, very cautious
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: over these last, like, you know, I would say like
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: decade that I've been building in life, um, because I'm
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: working really hard and there's a lot of people that
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: depend on me. But I think what I've learned is
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: that that anxiety and that fear has placed a permanent,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: like backup I wouldn't even say backup plan because I've
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: never had a backup plan. Like it's always this or
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: nothing for me and everything I'm doing, even if it's
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: not directly related to entertainment, storytelling, media, fashion, that whole thing.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: It's just to support the dream and the vision. Like
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I've always been very focused in that way, but it
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: does put a, it's like you're second guessing yourself. about
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: things and about decisions that you shouldn't be doing that within.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: And that is not healthy too. So I've been thinking
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: a lot about what does the whole brown girl, no
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: grinding look like? Like what is the rendition of that?
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: And what I had to come to a realization of
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: after having a, an amazing conversation with my pastor, shout
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: out to pastor Jerome Lewis that sees the greatness over
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the weekend is that it's not just a physical thing.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Like I can tell myself and I have, yo, you
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: can't be out. four to five days a night, you
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: plan on getting up and being sharp at four or
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: five o'clock in the morning. You also got to go
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: to sleep, Lauren. You got to eat well. You got
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: to make sure you're eating in general and not just going, going, going.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: But my mental has to be cool, too. And, you know, me...
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: And this fear thing, y'all, it's so crazy. I've never
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: been a person that has dealt with fear whatsoever. I've
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: always been like, I'm going to jump out the window
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to find my wings on the way down.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: But at this level in life, there's a lot more
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: at stake. And I feel it sometimes. So I do
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: allow fear to control how I show up a bit.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: And that is such a, I didn't even like saying
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: that out loud until I had the conversation this weekend
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: with my pastor yesterday. And just had to get really
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: real about that. And in facing that, you know, I
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: think if number one is freeing. Number two, I think
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: it's putting me in a position to make better decisions.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: But number three, it's having me really be like, girl,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: you are such a strong believer in your faith journey
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and in God. Two things cannot exist. Fear and God
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: cannot exist. We talk a lot about spirituality on this
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: podcast because it is my bread and butter. We talk
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: a lot about God because everything and everything that you guys,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: everything that I'm doing, everything that you guys are hearing
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: comes from him. And I will scream that to the mountaintops.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: But I had to really ask myself a question as
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I was thinking about, you know, how I've been mentally
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: taking care of myself. and dealing with this fear of,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: like fear of losing, fear of not getting things right,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: fear of, you know, the critique, fear of not being
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: able to fix and own up to the critique, and,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: you know, fear of you're only as good as your
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: last story. And mentally, like, that's just not a good
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: way to live. I always think about this thing that
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I learned about some years ago called the withering of
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: black women. And this conversation, this study, all the information
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: surrounding that, talks about how there are so much societal
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: pressures and, you know, stress points that are put on
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Black women and that we as Black women accept ourselves.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: And I'm only speaking as a Black woman. I'm not
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: saying that like Black men don't experience this either, but
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I'm saying that because I am a Black woman. And
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I look at my mom and I always tell her,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: you know, I can tell physically, I can look at
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: her and tell when she's stressed about something just by
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: how well she's not taking care care of herself and
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: certain things. And I had to stop and tell myself
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: that like, yo, you've been allowing fear to have so
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: much place in your brain. Maybe not showing up everything
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: in every way all the time, but it's been there.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: And the push through beyond that, that's when you're like fully,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: like the wellness comes in. And the wellness leads into
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: you being able to do what you do effortlessly, get
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: on these stages, these platforms, these networks, and do what
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: you do effortlessly. So I've been in that bag, having
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: that conversation with myself. My pastor gave me a book
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: over the weekend that I actually just started. And I
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: say just started, I'm like maybe page like 10 in.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: But I'm excited to read the book. I think it's
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: going to add a lot of clarity around my decision making.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: The book is called Better Decisions, Fewer Regrets by Andy Stanley.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: It's five questions to help you determine your next move. Yeah,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: it's so crazy because when you are the new, it's
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: like I always want to be learned. I always want
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: to learn to be teachable. But when you're the new
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: kid at school, you have to be so accountable for
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the things that like you're not allowing to be taught
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and to happen naturally. Like I, I'm just in a
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: season to let go on that God, but I'm really
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: trying to own that season and let that happen. and
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: not get in the way of it. So behind the
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: scenes of The Grind, I have been having these self-talks.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Whenever I feel myself and my own wants and my
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: own needs taking priority, uh-uh, bring it on back. Bring
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: it on back. I don't know if that helps somebody
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: out there, but I hope it did. But I want
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: to get on into the latest because when we talk
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: about platforms and networks and television, there are two black
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: women that have been a huge part of this conversation
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: within the last. I mean, one of them for over
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: a decade, like literally decades over a decade. Another one
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: of them within the last six years has really taken
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: over this space. I'm talking to Sherri Shepherd. We sit
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: down for a conversation about Wendy Williams and the documentary
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: that is coming on Peacock, Clap If You Care. This
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: documentary is going to be executive produced and brought to
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: us by Wendy's former producer, Suzanne Bass, who was also
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: a former friend. I broke the story here on The
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Latest with Lorna Rose, and I told you guys that
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: a source close to Wendy Williams told me that Wendy
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: was blindsided by Suzanne's involvement in the documentary, which is
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: very alarming because we had saw Suzanne and Wendy... hanging
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: out and you know Wendy can't do much but she's
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: able to go to dinners and certain things and Suzanne
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: was one of the people we saw around her so
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: to know that you know they were reaching out to
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: people about being involved in this documentary as recent as
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: like April and that was after we had seen them
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: out together and I know because of my source close
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: to Wendy that Suzanne and Wendy Williams are no longer
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: friends um yeah suzanne's involved in this doc and and
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: i and i saw a clip uh from norman baker
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: norman was another one of wendy's producers we would see
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: him on the show a lot wendy would banter with
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: him he sat down um with the girl shout out
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: to the girlies over at um off the record podcast
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: and he talked about why he decided to decline to
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: participate in the doc let's take a listen i.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Don't want to be involved in trashing.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Her have you been asked to participate I.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Have been asked to participate, just not really for me.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: I would like to have final say on like what I'm.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Going to say about her.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Suzanne Bass, she's going to be heavily involved.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: What was your reaction when you found out that she
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: was going to be involved in one of the documentaries?
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Suzanne really wants to make like a really, really nice
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: tribute to our show and to Wendy. So I hope
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: that it ends up you know, being that way and
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: being like a nice tribute. But again, I think I
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: just want to have control over my own narrative.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Well, Sherri Shepherd gets into it with me about whether
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: she agreed to participate or not in this doc. Let's
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: get into the exclusive conversation.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I was about to light it up on some people. Yeah,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: but y'all didn't ask me either. So I'm really glad.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I'll listen.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: You done asked her something now. She got that look
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: on her face like, mm-mm, Sherri ain't gonna talk. Because
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: you was talking about the See It Clear people, and
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I was just wondering. I know that the Clear people
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: trying to do this Wendy doc. I was wondering if
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: they done called you about it.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I said no.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Because out of respect for Wendy, we weren't friends. Like,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: I guess... I was a guest on her show a
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: couple times.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: And literally, when you're a guest on somebody's show, you
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: got four minutes on their couch, five minutes. I had
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: only met Wendy. She came on The View a couple times.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I was on her couch for five minutes, and then
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: I left. And so we didn't have any... We didn't
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: have any relationship outside of that kind of thing. I co-hosted,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: but she wasn't there.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: So out of respect, I don't engage in gossip that
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: I've heard. So, you know, I don't have anything to
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: add to a documentary, And no matter how many 1920
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: documentaries I want to do. So I respect her too
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: much to, you know, be saying anything that's negative. Because
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know her like that. I mean, we talked
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: about Charlamagne and they reached out to him. He had
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: said no. We broke a story here on The Latest
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: with Lauren La Rosa. A source close to Wendy said
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: that she was actually like blindsided by the fact that
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Suzanne was even going to be involved. But what I
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: love is, I say all that to say what I
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: love is, no matter how anybody felt about whatever, certain
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: things she talked about, whatever, what you're seeing is so
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: many people, like Bevy Smith, so many people coming out
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and being like, I don't want no part in that. Like,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I am good.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: I would have to say.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: with people who claim that they know her why are
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: you doing it yeah what's what's the motivation behind why
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: you feel like you have to share uh about Wendy
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: and especially if you know the family does not approve
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: then what's the what's ulterior motive behind that yeah that's
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: why you have so many people going out of respect
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to do that I think it's her
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: story to tell when she when she and if she
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: chooses to like if there's gonna be a documentary about
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: the show yeah if she's up to it and able
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: to you I would want her to be involved Yeah, absolutely.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: And I would have been like, it's very telling that
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: the family doesn't approve of it. So, you know, I'm
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: going now everybody's reaching out blind, trying to ask people
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: who have nothing to do with Wendy. So that makes
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: me a little weary. That makes me a little leery
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: and question motivations. Well, I see my publicist looking at me.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: That's the nice thing that Sherry's going to say. We
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: keep it there.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: That's why you need a black woman on your team.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: It's those looks. Y'all hear me, Simone, in the background,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: but she ain't even had to say nothing. I felt
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: the look.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: I looked over my shoulder.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: I think that's how our fists go up, too.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Don't come with me in here. The two front teeth showing.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I wish you would say something.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: You would shut up. I'm going to leave it very nice.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: I question motivations behind wanting to tell a story things
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: have been said what are you gonna say that's so
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: different that the family doesn't even approve of this documentary
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: so leave it right there yeah well thank you let
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: me know whenever my bedroom is ready you know i
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: just said i just opened the door yeah you're coming
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: in with pajamas and i know and i want to

• 12:19
  Speaker 1: gonna be there Thank you. But I don't cook. My
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: guy cooks. Like, he's amazing. You know what he made yesterday?
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: He made salmon. He fried lamb chops. He made ribs.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: And he made ribeye steak. He made greens. He made
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: cauliflower casserole.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, it was Labor Day.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: I'm like, why all this food?
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: But that's just how he likes to cook. Like, he
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: loves to cook.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: I love this for you. Like, he cooks. Because no
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: matter how much you work, having that home feeling.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Because you provide it for your son and for yourself
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: for everybody. Yes, we're doing it together. Having Houstonians, but
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: having it from someone who's providing it for you with
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: everything that you're doing, like it is such a peace
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: of mind and like, absolutely. Like you need, you need
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: peace in the sea of chaotic stuff. And somebody saying,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I want to be that piece. Like I asked him,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I said, why do you think God sent you into
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: my life? He said, because he knew I could handle
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: the challenge. Like my guy is a rock. You could
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: chip away at a rock, but it don't move. And
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: that's what I love. He don't move. And he's like,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: he's a foundation. Even in the Bible say, don't build
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: your house on sand because it just moves. But he's
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: a rock. And so, you know, he does that for
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: me and he makes it so I can go out
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: and fly and be who I am. He just, he goes,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: go out there and be, be that, you know, and
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: I do. I know the feeling. We had cocktails.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: We were cheers. Cause we'll go out.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: I'm right there.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Cause you'll love him.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: He's cool.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: And he ain't from, he ain't from like, he ain't Hollywood.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: None of that.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Not any of that.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Same, same. I'm going to show you my band. I'll
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: show you when we done.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Because that's a man right there.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: That's a man right there. I know what I'm doing.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I'm not navigating. You know what you're doing. Well, somebody
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: need to tell Envy because that little conversation we had.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Because Envy didn't know how to please his wife, Gia,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: for some time, guys.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: But he was 16. At 16, you don't know how
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: to please your wife.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think she got mad in her adult
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: life and said it.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because after 10 years, that's a long time.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know at what point or within what child
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: she was like, you know what, I'm just tired of this.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: And you know what that was with Gia? He did
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: something to make her mad.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: She was pissed. It came out in an argument. It
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: came out in an argument. And that's when she was
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: like that. Cause holding that back for orgasm back for
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: 10 years. And this is, and you know, you might
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: be at the age where it's like, it's slipping away.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Cause orgasms slip away in different phases of being like, no,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: they come back. They do come back.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: But it's like, there's, it's very strong in your thirties,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: in your forties. But sometimes, you know, you go through
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: menopause and it goes away and then it comes back.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: So when it goes away, what do you do? then,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: you know, you just got to figure out other stuff.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: That's when you start liking, that's when you start going,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I love being with my girlfriends. I find things that
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: make me happy. And you like, the orgasms didn't slip away.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: You just got to find them again. You got to
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: calm down. You got to stop stressing.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: And you find them again.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you need accoutrement to help you out.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Accoutrement?
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: See, this is the type of mentorship I'm talking about.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Accoutrement and hot sauce and seasoning.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: A hot sauce you don't need to get your orgasms back.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: No, no, no.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: That's a whole.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: That's a freakier discussion. But sometimes you need a little
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: help to get it back. You might need some patches,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: you know, like estrogen patches to get it back.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Because as we get older.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: We lose it. I thought the minges had to do that.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: No, we have to like we lose our estrogen.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: We lose the testosterone and all of that goes into
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: like sexual desire. So you sometimes you have to, you know,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: get a little help from the doctor. What age does
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: it start for us? Yeah, pregnancy makes you not be
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: able to orgasm?
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Well, not in Ciara's case. Oh, I was about to say.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Not in Ciara's case.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Listen, I want my baby.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: This is her fifth child.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Obviously, dim orgasms and pregnancy is a turn on for Ciara.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: No.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: No, but some people being pregnant, you just got to
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: give your body a chance to heal. That's all. Like,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: you know, men be jumping on you when you had
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: a baby, then you're pregnant again. But sometimes you just,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: sometimes you just have to rest and give your body
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: like a reset. Our bodies are really tender. So, and
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I think sometimes we push them too hard and they
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: always come back. They do. Now, I don't know if
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: they come back when you like 80, cause you don't
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: want to have no heart attack or anything like that.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I'm not there yet, but I'm just saying when you old,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: when you real old, the Morgans has got to be,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: they got to be real tender cause you freaking have
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: a stroke. So. All right.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Didn't want to end on that.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Thank you. This has been the greatest drop I've ever
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: heard and they have ever heard here on the latest.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know if an 80-year-old is listening to the podcast.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: They don't even know what the podcast is. They might.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: We might have three. And they got grandkids.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: And they got grandkids. So if the grandkids or your
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: grandmama is listening, let her know.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Just say, grandmama, the orgasm's going to come back. She's
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: going to go, what, baby? Just say, the orgasm's coming back.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Won't he do it? Won't he do it? All right.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Won't he will? Well, that has been my new roommate, Ms.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Sherri Shepherd on the latest with Lauren LaRosa. But no, honestly, though, like,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: you know, you are one of the people that I
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: look at in this and look at how you're moving
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: and maneuvering. Thank you. And that's it. So happy to
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: see you in a good place.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: And you were amazing on The View.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: You were so great.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I loved it.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: I love, I just smiled the entire time.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Because I was like, why? When he asked, when Sean
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: asked me to go, I was like, for what? What
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: do you mean for what? Because they talk about like
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: politics and stuff and that's not something I like do
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: in this era of my life anymore. But you do
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: your research and you're knowledgeable. which extends to everything. That's
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: who you are. You make sure that people know the beginning,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: the end, and then the middle. That's what you do.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Politics is just another extension. When I got there, though,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is what getting out the
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: trenches feels like. Like, there's, like, this is nice over here.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: There's a whole world.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: They got two bathrooms.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Like, that's where you go to that friend house who
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: got both bathrooms. Yeah, it was nice.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: And see, and that's just a preview.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Their team. Yeah, like, it felt... A.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Preview, a snapshot of.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: of what God is showing you true is your future. Yeah.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: That's what it is.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: So enjoy it. Be present to it. Yes. And he
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: put you in it for a reason. Thank you. Cheers
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: to learn your politics. Now just, you know, I've been
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: knowing them, but I just, I just, it's a, it's
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: a slippery slope to veer into things. I, I'm always
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: saying about platforming. Platforming is so different right now. TMZ
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: was different. Like, we could yell back and forth about
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: so much. And nobody cared about me and what I
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: was yelling about. Now, it's like... Oh, yeah. Everything you say.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: And I'm watching, you know, Whoopi and Sunny, and, like,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: their notes are prepared. And I'm like, I know they
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: went through this with a publicist and a team. And
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: then you see the reaction. After we left the show,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I saw some of the, like, just political reaction. Right.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: I experienced it a bit with Charlamagne when he does
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: his donkey today. But when I saw that, I was like... Oh,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: this is why he be yelling at me about my
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: words mattering. Yes, absolutely. That's all he yells about. And
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: having a thick skin as well.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Because, you know, when you're in that kind of seat,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: you also have to know you can't please everybody. This
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: is what Joy Behar told me. The moment you open
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: your mouth, half the world is going to hate you.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: So, you know, you can't be trying to please everybody.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: You can't take the weight of the world on your shoulders.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: You can't take the weight of black women anymore. On
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: your shoulders. You can't take all of that. You're not
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: designed to do it. As long as you know you're
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: being true to yourself and true to the one who
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: created you and gave you the position.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: You know, then you're all right.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: But you have to also have a thick skin.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Because that's, you know, with more opportunities and more
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: responsibility comes more negativity that will be aimed at you.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: to knock you off your balance. So you can't take
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: all of that in. And be showing up with your
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: wood cricket just confused. I'm telling you. Otherwise you'd be
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: having so many breakdowns and so many like, oh my God,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: don't be reading all that stuff. I try. Yeah.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: And you grown.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: That's all I would say. I'm grown. Can I hug?
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: I want a hug. I just opened up the door.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Come give me a hug.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, y'all. She's giving me a hug. So maybe I
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: won't stay in her house too long.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: I'll just accept the hug.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Oh my God. No, thank you.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: I'm so proud of you.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Thank you. This has been awesome. Keep doing what you're doing.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: You're welcome.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Thank you for answering all my calls always. Oh, you're welcome.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: You're welcome. Shout out to Sherri Shepherd. I mean, okay.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Her show, it's canceled. Some months ago since then, she
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: has been on a sold out comedy tour. She just
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: announced that she is going to be playing the genie
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: in Aladdin on Broadway here in New York City. Make
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: sure you guys come get your tickets, go out and
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: see her there. But then she also has the Angel

  Speaker 1: September 12th. out this Saturday, September 12th, which is a
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: story commemorating the last survivor of 9-11, who is still alive.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: And Sherri tells her story so beautifully in her role
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: on that movie. So there's a lot to talk about
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: with Sherri. There's a lot to support. There is a
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: lot to go and do. Make sure after watching this
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: conversation and hearing, I think this conversation shows you the
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: cloth of Sherri Shepherd. You got to be cut from
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: a certain cloth to not want to participate in in
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: something just because of the headlines and the clicks that
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: it'll get you but because your heart is telling you
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: it don't make no sense to do so like who
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: am I to be an authority on that and I
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: appreciate you know people like Sherri that's why I told
