• 6:40
  Speaker 5: I said, baby, this your last year of high school.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: One thing I'm not going to do is make you
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: act right. I'm 54 years old. I'm going through middle power.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I just found out my lining draw on one side.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: I ain't got time for this shit. Your what now?
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: My vagina draw on one side. Oh, it draw on
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: one side? Yeah, yours going to come there too, girl.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: I didn't know.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: How did you come to that conclusion? How did you
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: figure it out?
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: So what happened is I got up one morning, I
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: got to walking, and just one side was hurting.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, why my vagina just hurting on one side?
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: And you know, I've had gunnery and crabs, and this
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: don't feel like no STD I've ever had in my life.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: So it was crunchy on one side. It was crunchy.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: It was scraping your underwear.
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: No, it was just pain every time. It felt like
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: my leg was pulling my lips.
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: I think that's what Halle Berry was talking about, too.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Remember, Halle Berry actually went on a morning show and
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: said that before. But I ain't know what creeping from
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: one side to the other.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I don't have a vagina. And you got to be
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: careful how you let them dog it out. It's like
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: going to Jiffy Lube and saying, I need a new tie.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: Jeez.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: I went to the.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I went to.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: The gynecologist and she said my lining was dry on
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: one side.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: And so she gave me this pill to pop in there.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: For estrogen?
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: They had something in there to hydrate it, I guess.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Yes, to hydrate it.
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: And let me tell you something, ladies, if you listeners
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: out there, when you going through mental pause and you
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: get that thing, when you start taking that extra, it

• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I had hair all in my chest, on my chin,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: on my areola.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: Don't blame that on the pill now. Huh? What?

• 8:39
  Speaker 1: in your room. And your wife be saying, I'm going
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: to let you be you, Lenard.
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: We're going to keep it in the house.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Because you know Whitney William can't remember none of this shit.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: So menopause, how often does this occur?
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: How often does the drywall occur?
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm not dry anymore. I'm not gay no more.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: You delivered. This thing is wet, Charlamagne. You want to
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: taste it? No.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: No.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: So I take estrogen, and estrogen helped me out a lot.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: So I'm lube again. I can move without making noise.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: So you was making noise? Damn.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I was hollering every time I was walking. I was
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: on my way to Japan at the time. And I
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: told my mom, I ain't going to be able to
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: move my vagina. I got to go get this shit checked.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: And they got me right before I went to Japan. Damn.
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: Now, your book talks about learning the rules of systems, right,
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: that weren't built for you.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: What's something you feel poor people are told about success
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: that you now know is just bullshit?
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Probably finance. You know, they never taught us finance. You know,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: they never taught us interest rates.
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: And I talk about this and how how not to
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: go to the buy here pay here a lot cause
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: they put those things in our community to for an
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: emergency to make it look like we need them and
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: now you know do you know how many black people
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: have said don't go do that shit don't because you
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: ain't gonna never get wafing up under that so i
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: learned a lot about finance and interest rate and buying
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: a house i bought a house um One time and
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: I got two loans on. I still own this house
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: and I almost lost this house because it was doing
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: the boom.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: And my friend was like, go and girl, go and
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: refinance your house.
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: And I got an extra loan on that thing and
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: paid a 225 for 15 years. When that thing came
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: to the end, Bank of America said, give me my 20.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: It was a 20. I think it's 25 or $ 50, 000.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: And I was like, what? We paid you all this money.
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: It was I only pay interest. And they said, we
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: will take this house. And I had just taped the
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: first season of the Miss Pass show.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: And that was the only reason. I had taped a
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: pile of it. And I got that chicken. That's how
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: I saved that damn house. Wow.
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: And you know one of the things, when we want something,
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: we want it. And we just go in there and
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: we don't read the contract. You have to read that stuff.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: And even if you don't want to read it, get
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: somebody to read it and explain it to you.
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: Because that's how I got ripped off so many times.
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: I bought another house that I could not afford. And
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: thank God that they moved my husband's job to General Motors.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: Because that was an interest-only loan.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: And it was for 10 years, and it was like
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: a 7,000-square-foot house, and everybody was getting these houses built
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: from the ground. You know, you want to be like
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: everybody else.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: And I learned a lot about finances. And I don't
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: play that shit no more.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Those interest only loans were big like 2005, 2010.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: A lot of people losing their houses over that.
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: A lot of people was getting things that they could
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: not afford. And then they don't realize when that thing
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: at the end, do you have that money? Because if
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: you don't have that money, they come to get their stuff.
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: And that's how they set you up for it. But
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: they don't tell us that because we just worry about
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: what we look like in everybody else's eyes.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: And I got caught up in that too. So now
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I don't give a damn. I don't do that.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: With the cars too, there's a lot of people that
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: they'll give you a nice car, but the interest rates
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: would be ridiculous, 28%, 29%, and you're paying off a...
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: $ 40, 000 car, 20 years, and you really paid off like $ 180, 000.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: People don't see it. They just want that car.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: And you have to be very... And even to this
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: day with black people with good credit, you can walk
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: in there and they still won't give you the credit
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: rate that they try to give white people. And I
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: do that all the time.
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: And I can say this now because I've not always
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: had a damn near 800 credit score in American Express car.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: When I go in there, I don't play no motherfucking game.
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: No, you're not going to give me that with this
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: and all the money I got in the bank. And you, like,
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: I can get a discount on General Motors shit. And
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: every time I go in there, they don't ever want
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: to give me the docking fee. That's what they paid
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: to bring the car over here, unless I ask for it.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: So you have to go in there when you buy
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: the car. Don't just buy the first thing.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Shop around.
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: Because they're going to pull your credit anyway. And you
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: got to remember, the interest rate they give you, that
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: ain't what came from the bank. They added something to it.
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: So you have to ask them, take your shit off.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: Take yours off. Because you're going to make money anyway.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: You wrote the loan. But we don't know that. Right.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: So the dealership makes money off the loan as well.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: So when the bank gives you the loan, the dealership
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: makes a profit too.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: And they can add a couple extra points. And you
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: can tell them to go down. You can ask them.
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: They say, okay, your interest rate is 6%. Take me
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: down to 5% because you put them other 2%. It
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: probably came back 3%.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: It probably came back through, but they don't tell you that.
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: They act like, no, but they don't want to lose
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: your business. Not in this economy now. They don't want
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: to lose you, but you got to be willing to
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: walk away from anything in this business.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Because if you let this shit control you, I tell
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: my man, I ain't taking that. I ain't taking that.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not getting out of my business. They'll chase you back.
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: You cannot be in life scared to say no. And
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: that's what I learned in this book. You can't miss
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: nothing that you ain't never had.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I tell motherfuckers to this day, if you have me,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I'm going to bring my own hair and makeup. Well,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: they ain't union. I don't give a damn. I know
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: what I look like. I'm fat. I've been abused.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: You're not fat.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm thick now.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I need to bring my own people. I
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: need to do my.
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: You cannot be scared to ask for things in this business,
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: but they have trained black actors and black people.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Don't you be too... Don't you ask for too much.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Don't you do too much because you might not get
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: the job.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: Just be happy to be there.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not happy to be nowhere. I'm a comedian.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: I'm going to forever tell jokes, so you're never going
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: to control me. I've sold a pussy and kept the money.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: God damn! I'm sorry. This is a Christian show. Mine
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: when you couldn't see it. I love it. You see
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: it by the pound? By the pound. By the pound
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: pussy is insane.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: I wish they did.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I wish they did. Every time you lift my thighs.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Was it hard to write this book or easy?
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Because you talk about a lot of the stuff that's
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: in this book.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: We've talked to you a million and one times. So
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: was it difficult reliving some of those moments?
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Yes. And I tell you why, because I'm so busy now.
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: The first book, I ain't have shit going on. But
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: this book, the same lady who wrote it, and I
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: have a ghostwriter, same lady who wrote this book, you know,
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: wrote the last one.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: So it was a lot of getting me to sit
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: down and remember.
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: And get me to sit down and have those conversations
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: and bring out those things.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: And then as I read, I was like, I ain't
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: tell you this shit. It didn't happen like this. It
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: happened like this.
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: So it was a lot of back and forth, you know,
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: because she had a conversation with me for the last
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: 10 years, and she put a lot of that stuff
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: in that I had to go back and say, okay, Janine,
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: I remember this. Let me tell you how it happened.
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: So it was it was it was hard at this time. And,
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: you know, thank you for this book. But I don't
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: have to keep writing books like Sean.
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: Coming from where you come from, Miss Pat, people probably
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: be like, if Miss Pat did it, anybody can do it.
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: And I hear that all the time. And you can
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: do it. And you can do it. It's just a
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: dream that we all sit here to have. You just
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: got to put forth the effort and work for it.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: And you can't tell. Don't ever let nobody tell you
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: what you can and can't do.
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: You know, this is like the drug deal. And I've
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: said this a hundred times. When I go into Hollywood,
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: this is like me selling dope. I got something to sell.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: These people, so let me convince them and let me
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: get them hooked on the cocaine so I can be
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: the supplier. But you got to believe that you can
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: walk into these rooms and that you belong. Or you're
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: going to go in there and get smaller.
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: What do you say to people in the hood who
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: are working their ass off? They're working hard as hell,
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: but they feel like they can never escape poverty.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: Two and three jobs.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Don't call me at me for no money. Because you
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: know what? Since this economy so fucked up, everybody just
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: ask me for money. I say, ain't got no goddamn money.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: I love y'all, but stop asking me to borrow shit.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: This ain't no borrowing economy. You ain't going to be
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: able to get this shit back. We need some COVID checks.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: We need some PPP loans. What I would say is
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: don't call me and just keep praying. Just keep praying.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: I know. Because it is rough. I passed a gas
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: station the other day. I passed a gas station. That phone,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I'm in Atlanta.
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: It's $ 4, 000.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: I'm like, what the hell?
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: I said, I know my people ain't can't get to work.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Everybody on the bus.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: That means you ain't putting super in your car. Because...
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: I am putting super. But that ain't no $ 4.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Super's like $ 5.
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: But I park the car that needs super. And I
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: have a GMC Yukon.
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: That's what a bunch of truck drivers doing. I know
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: so many truck drivers like, man, I can't even afford
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: to drive. I'm just parking the truck for now.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: You're going to.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Have to because, I mean, my main car is a G-Wagon.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not driving that shit and putting that premium in it.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: I ain't got to be saying it. I'm going to
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: look like a soccer mom. I got me a Yukon.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Y'all know what y'all crazy ass are being.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: I think four miles to the gallon, five, something ridiculous.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: That's expensive.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Yes, and then not only that, the ties, the brakes,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: I paid $ 10, 000 one time. One time I paid $ 10, 000
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: for them brakes. And I said, you know what?
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: $ 2, 500 each.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: I said, I ain't got to do this. I went
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: out and bought me a Lexus. I said, this is
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: for rich people. This bitch is an ornament.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: For my driveway.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: It be sitting there, the tie be going low. I said, son,
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: go put some air in that tie and bring that
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: shit right back in the parking lot.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: You talking about the G-Wagon? Yeah, I don't drive that shit.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: And then I'm fat anyway, so I got to pull
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: on the handlebars.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: Stop saying you fat, man.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, you black son of a.
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: You been calling me fat for the last 10 years.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: I ain't never called you fat in my life. All
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: the time you did.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Stop it.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: I've never called Miss Fat Fat.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: What did you call her?
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: Fat until that other lady came in and he gave
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: her that foot stoop and two sofas.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: That's when I became not fat.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: I've never called you fat. I say comedian of size.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: I ain't never said you were fat.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: You were never that professional when you said it.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: You did say some rude and disrespectful shit.
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: I always say rude, but that's fine because this is
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: an ugly nigga calling me fat. This ain't nobody I
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: would ever do that with you. You think I want
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: Wendy Williams left over?
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: I don't want nothing. You never shoot dimension in me.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: You're going to forever be with me where you left
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: off because I know she touch you.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Damn.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: What if I'm a victim?
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: It don't matter. That's why he hired you because you
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: a victim. Damn, man. Somebody got to hear it.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: He ain't going to deny it.
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: He ain't going to deny it. Well, that's how y'all
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: became with this right here.
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: No, I'm just denying that part.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: That's how y'all became the breakfast club.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: Because you was wanting.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Somebody else's breakfast. Come over here and suck a nipple.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: I know that's how she... She look just like you
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: without that wig. Her thighs is dripping.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: That's so crazy.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Look like her thighs is melting in the movie show.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: That is crazy. You miss them thighs, don't you? You
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: miss putting them little bald heads on them tall tits.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: None of this is true.
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: You gotta sleep your way to the top and that's
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: what he did.
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: He slept his way to the top. Don't deny. Don't deny.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: If I'd have slept my way to the top, I
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: would be talking about it too, but I had the
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: work card.
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: Then we baby. Then we had the work card. He
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: did the right thing. That's why she got dementia.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: You wanted to forget?
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. If I slept with you, I wanted to forget too.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: That's why we never seen your wife. She wouldn't let
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: you come in the garage. She wanted to forget.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: That's got to be stuff.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: I do got to give you a shout out because
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I just see you made a lot of money. What
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: you talking about?
• 20:16
  Speaker 8: It was the $ 200 million.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: That's not true.
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: One was $ 20 million. That ain't no propaganda. That man
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: just told me he was your security. Now, what black
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: man can hide some white security? Now, you got some money,
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: and that man ain't even big. I said, well, how
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: the hell you going to protect Charlemagne? You look like him.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: You got a gun?
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, well, you could have hired me. This young kid
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: would have did it for $ 2. 50 a year.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: You don't need no big-ass, ugly security guard.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: No, you ugly. He the security.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: Now, listen, speaking of money. Mm-hmm. You rich now.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not rich. Yes, you are.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: I am not rich. You are rich, Ms. Pat.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Cut it out. What is rich?
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: You're not in the 1%? I mean, you're not in
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: the 1%. You in the 1%.
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, when you file your taxes, but after you do
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: the write-off, you back poor.
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: You ain't nothing poor about you.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: No.
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: You making a healthy seven figures a year easily.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: I'm doing good.
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: Charlemagne, let me say something to you. My family ain't
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: your family, and they listen to The Breakfast Club, so
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: we're going to erase this part.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: We're going to say I'm okay. Okay.
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: Well, you're doing okay.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: I'm okay.
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: What do rich people misunderstand about people who don't have money?
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Um, I think I don't think I don't think.
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: I don't think rich people understand, and especially if they
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: were born rich, the struggle we had to go through
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: or the struggle that regular people had to go through
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: when your light bills are going up.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: My light bill just went up, and I notice everything.
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: When your energy bill going up, when your gas bill
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: going up, and when you thinking about turning off the
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: air and the food is high as hell, all of
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: that affect poor people.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: But if it don't affect you, if it's not at
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: your door, it don't matter. And that's what's wrong with
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: this current administration. That's what's wrong with the world. They
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: only worry about the rich. And what don't affect us,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: it affect my cousins now. They asking for gas money.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Four dollars don't hurt me, but it make me go, damn,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: let me switch cars. Everybody don't have that. So some
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: people are like, I can't get to work today. Or
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I can't eat today. Or they have to choose a
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: thing that they're going to eat because, you know, ground
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: beef is up and all of this shit. So that's
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: what they don't understand. They don't understand about when they
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: don't have it.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: So flip it. What do poor people misunderstand about rich people?
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: I ain't rich.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: All right. That's a good one. You ain't about to
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: get me to answer no rich questions.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. I already knew this shit
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: was coming. So if you look at my garage, I
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: got tissue for six years. I got Kotex, and all
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: I do is shop. I got five deep freezers at
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: my house.
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: I've always, because of where I come from. And then
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: I just stopped going to the grocery store at all.
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: I just go to a butcher. I go to a
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: beef and a pork butcher. So my freezers always, I
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: just plan like that because I'm so damn scared that.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's going to happen. And all this
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: meat recall. So, you know, we good. We going to eat.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: I love that.
• 23:16
  Speaker 8: When did you get to the point where you stopped
• 23:17
  Speaker 8: worrying about what might be taken away from you and
• 23:20
  Speaker 8: got comfortable in the fact that you were doing okay?
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: When I pay off everything. I pay off everything.
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: There's nothing that... I just I pay off everything. I
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: got one other thing to pay. Every car in my
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: driveway is paid off. My rental property is paid off.
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: It's just my current home. I'm working on paying it off.
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: So I do worry because, you know, my husband's retired.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: I'm like the sole person of our home. Yes, I
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: do have money saving all of that stuff. And I
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: just want everything to be paid off. I don't want
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: to lose anything. And I think that's why I go
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: so hard. Because my husband's like, do you have to
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: go out every weekend? I'm like, I know how much
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: money I'm about to make, so I'm going to get it.
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: And so I just, to live the life that I want,
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: I just try to make sure everything is paid off.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: And you got a lot of mouths to feed, too.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: I have a lot. I have seven kids and three grandkids.
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: You know, not that I have to have a mom
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: and daddy, but I have seven kids now. So I
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: don't get nothing from the system. I don't want anything
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: from the system. You know, so I just say I
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: got to do what I got to do.
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: Did becoming successful change the way you look at government
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: assistance in any way?
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: No, no, it doesn't. No, because when I was on it,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: I needed it.
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: So why would I get the money that I have
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: today and then say, well, y'all some lazy ass?
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: No, it's my taxpayer money. So if I can spend
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: taxes to help somebody else. Now, if you got 10
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: people on welfare, it might only going to help really
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: three people to have the mindset to say, I want
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: to move on to bigger and better things. You always
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: going to have people take advantage of the system. But
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: you'll never hear me talk about nobody who get government
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: assistance because.
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: It's my taxpayer money. If I can help you, I
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: want to help you. That's why I vote Democrat. And
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: for whatever, I will forever vote Democrat. Yes, they do
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: get a poll and they all lie.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: All of them lie.
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: But that's just the way I wanted to go. Them
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: people over there, they racist. They only see one thing.
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: They only want to help the rich. I don't want
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: to help the rich. I want to help the people
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: where I come from.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: You know, the economy does better whenever there's a Democrat
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: in the White House.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: You ain't got to tell me.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: This is statistical facts. This ain't a feeling.
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: You can go look it up. I don't know how
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: Republicans have convinced people that they the party of the economy.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're the worst. When Bill Clinton was in office,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: he made me get off my ass.
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: And I got a GED. I became a medical assistant.
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: I started working at General Motors. Because Bill Clinton never said,
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: I'm going to take it from you. This is what
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: I need you to do, become a better person. And
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: by him taking, by me losing my Section 8, it
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: made me a better person.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: At the time, I was pissed off. Because I was
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: up there working that gentleman, making all that money, lying
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: to them. People didn't want to pay that little $ 59 rent.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Just lying to my ass. I got a husband.
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: But that was the best thing that ever happened to me.
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: Bill Clinton made me get a GED.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Bill Clinton made me get off my ass.
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: Bill Clinton made me a better person. And when they
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: took that free rent, oh, baby, that hustle kicked in.
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: Because I had to go from $ 0 to $ 600. That
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: was a lot of money back then.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: I remember growing up in the 90s in the country,
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: most corner of South Carolina, and hearing my daddy and
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: my uncles and all of them talk about how good
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: the economy was going when Clinton was in office.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Clinton, it was a good economy. It was really good.
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: And I'll never forget, he had so many programs. They
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: was paying for us to go to school, to be.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Nurses, whatever you want. They was giving you a four-year
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: degree when Bill Clinton was in office for free if
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: you was on the system, along with free rent and
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: food stamps. And I know a lot of people became
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: registered nurses. I went to school. I became a medical assistant.
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: I wanted to be a nurse, but I realized I
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: couldn't because I was a convicted felon. So somehow I
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: got thrown into comedy from talking to that caseworker.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
• 26:49
  Speaker 8: I can so see you in the medical field and
• 26:51
  Speaker 8: being in the hospital and being like an advocate for
• 26:53
  Speaker 8: people inside of the hospital. You know, you always encounter
• 26:56
  Speaker 8: that one black person on the floor that just like
• 26:58
  Speaker 8: live out.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Because I care about people. I do. And I want
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: to see everybody win. I do. And I think that
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: sometimes that's my biggest problem. If you in my group.
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: And you work for me and I see a struggle,
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: I immediately jump in and try to fucking run your
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: life or try to say, let me talk to you
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: about your finance or try to say, let me show
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: you how to do this.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: But a lot of people don't. A lot of people
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: have people working for them. I don't give a fuck
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: how you struggle. I don't give a damn how you live.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Not me. You not going to be in my group
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: and work for me and you struggling. No.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: No.
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: Because why am I on top and you on bottom?
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: That's why I don't go to church. Because everybody who
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: go to church, ain't nobody on top but the pastor.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Why the pastor drive a Mercedes Benz in my car
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: while I'm cranking the parking lot? Huh?
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: Uh-uh.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Uh-uh.
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: Uh-uh.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Uh-uh.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: You're not talking about that type of bottoms.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Oh. You having flashbacks? Yeah. Lord, this man, I hear
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: him telling me at night, you know these people already
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: think you gay, Charlene. Stop it now.
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: What pastor you don't sleep with? Don't out this pastor.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: This show is too big for you to be outing
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: this white pastor you don't sleep with.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: It wouldn't be no white pastor.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, it would be a white pastor. Yes, it would,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: because you want to reach the top quick.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: What kind of pastor would it be, Charlotte?
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: If it was, it'd be a black one.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: No, it ain't no black pastor going to pay you.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: They're going to want you to be the bottom. That
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: white one going to let you be the top.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Now, I don't know what I'm talking about right now.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: But that little wig right there, you put on. What's
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: your name? What's your girl? Charmaine?
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: Charmaine. Charmaine. Char-Char.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Char-Char. Tell me how you be.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Ooh, then I.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Ooh, let me hear.
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: Ooh, I.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: You be putting the veneers on that thing, don't you?
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: Oh, Jesus Christ.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: I love you, Charlamagne. You're my favorite gay person. I'm sorry,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: you're my favorite closet.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: What is she about to do?
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: Are you going to see if somebody else is the favorite?
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, God.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: I thought it was. I thought it was. I know
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: what you're going to put with it.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: He don't do nothing but read it.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: I know that you know, you really do look out
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: for people like the seven kids. Damn, I forgot my question.
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, speaking of helping people, because yes, I know
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: that you really do look out for people. Like the
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: seven kids that you have, that you just took in more,
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: do you, what is the conversation like?
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Did you explain to them why you took them in?
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: Because the reason why I'm asking this question is because
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: my mother did the same thing to her sister's kids.
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: My mother was, I mean, my aunt was an addict
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: and she had nine kids. And she just kept having
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: them because she knew that the family wouldn't let them
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: go in the system. And so my mom found it
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: very hard to explain to two of the nine that
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: she took why they were there, because they were asking.
• 30:14
  Speaker 7: They got to her around like seven or eight, and
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: they were just like, why can't I go back with
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: my mom? And that was the hardest thing for her
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: to do.
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: Well, with these new kids, these kids didn't know me
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: because their mom is in prison right now. And they
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: had a caregiver, which was a childhood friend who had
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: them ever since they was a baby. And the caregiver
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: passed away, and then the family called me. So these
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: kids only knew me from TV. And they didn't want
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: to go. And I didn't want them either.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: You know, I didn't want another set of kids. I'm
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: 54 years old.
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: But we got together with her family and with me
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: and we explained to the kids, I'm your aunt and,
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: you know, I'm their grandaunt. And this will be the
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: better place for you right now.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Because it was six kids. I only took the three girls.
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: OK.
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: So and then I sit the kids down and I
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: explain to them because they only knew me from TV.
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: You know, they knew that they caregiver, their nanny, the
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: only person they ever taken care of them because I
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: didn't take care of them. You know, they're my lady did.
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: And I just say, you know, she's no longer here.
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: So I'm going to stand in her place for you.
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: And they was a little rebellious at first, but they
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: coming around now.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: They're coming around.
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: It's taking care of everybody for you, Miss Pat, an
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: act of love.
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: Or is it part of your trauma?
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: I think it's part of my trauma.
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: So when I told my daughter, Garyana, I said, I'm
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: going to get these kids. And she just bust out
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: crying because I already she my daughter may have me
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: raise my kids forever. And she was like, Mama, you
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: got to stop trying to say the little girl rabbit
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: in you.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: You have saved her so many times. And I said
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: and I didn't want to go get these kids.
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: And I picked them up one day and I took
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: them shopping. I drop them back off and I talk
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: about it in my set now. But it was God, child.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: I hear, and it's weird.
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: I can feel your spirit. Oh, it's a voice that
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: speak to me. I'm not crazy, but I call it
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: the voice of God. And God just came to me.
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: He said, I need you to go get them kids.
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: And I argue with God for days.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: For a whole weekend, I said, God, you lost your
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: monk ass mind. I'm 54 years old. I'm not going
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: on you. I said, turn them into angels. I said,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: don't you need some more soldiers?
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: Turn them into angels.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, man. That's what I told her. And I
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: argue with God. I said, I'm not going to get
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: them with me. Yes, and I know we talking about kids,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: but I was like, turn them into angels. I'm not
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: going over there. I'm not fucking with them kids. And
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: I went back and forth with God. I went back
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: and forth because I have four that's almost out the door.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: And you give me three more. I have a career.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: I'm busy. I don't have time for no kids. And
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: my husband never said nothing. And I'm waking up in
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: the middle of the night hearing his voice and go
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: get him. And I said, I'm not going to get shit.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: I said, look, God, you bless me. You ain't got
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: to give me nothing. Give it to another bitch. Give
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: them kids or two. And I went back and forth,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: and then that voice got a lot. He said, go
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: get them.
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: And I said, okay, I'm going to go get the
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: girls and keep them from, you know, turning tricks and
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: being hoes. And I'm going to go say to the girls,
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: but I ain't going to get them before they bottom
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: lip hang.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: They might steal. So I went and got the girls.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: So you're not going back to get the boys?
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, so you didn't get the boys? You only got
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: the girls?
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: Who got the boys?
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: They worked it out. We worked it out. They made
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: sure they were straight. They straight. But no, I couldn't.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: I had 12 kids in my house. Now, God damn,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: I got a nice house.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: You should go get the boys, too.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not. You go get the motherfucking boys.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: I see each other.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: I know they'd rather live with you or you or
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: you than me. I see each other's house, and your
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: kids are grown. You stop getting your wife pregnant. Go
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: on and get the boys. Go get the boys. Yeah,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: go get the boys. I don't have no more room.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: I had three extra bedrooms. They filled now.
• 33:42
  Speaker 8: Have you took some time to think about what your
• 33:43
  Speaker 8: daughter said to you?
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Huh?
• 33:45
  Speaker 8: Like, did you take some time to think about what
• 33:46
  Speaker 8: your daughter said to you? Like, when you going to
• 33:47
  Speaker 8: stop trying to save Rabbit?
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: I'm never going to stop trying to save Rabbit because
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: every child in this world should start off on a
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: solid foundation. All of us don't get that chance. And
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: so many times that we can see kids in messed
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: up situations and we look away just because that person
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: might not be some kinder, you know, might not be
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: directly in our family.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: We look away. I mean, there have been times I've
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: seen kids who mouth fucked up and I bought them braces.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: I won't name them. But I said, hey, let me
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: put some braces on your child. Random kids? Random kids.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: They ain't going to make it with their mouth.
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: Damn.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Yo.
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: Damn.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: That is crazy.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: But I do.
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: Stuff like that because nobody did that for me. When
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: my hair was napping, my clothes were dirty, and I
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: had to flip my drawers over because the other side
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: was dirty.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Nobody did that.
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: But that teacher at English Avenue Elementary, Miss Troop, who
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: tucked me in the bathroom and who washed me up
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: and who brushed my teeth, and who combed my hair
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: so I would not be picked on. And I'm 54
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: years old, and this lady is no longer here. And
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: I tell everybody, Ms. Troop taught me, the dumbest question
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: is the question I ask. That is the only lady
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: at the time in my elementary school at English Avenue
• 34:50
