• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Well, thank you for having me. I was excited when
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: I got a call. You're going to do Heather. I
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: was like, Okay, I tried many times to get here.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: No, you haven't. Well, yes, we have.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: My schedule just wouldn't let us. Oh, okay. I was
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: even leaving.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, because I'm saying definitely nobody's been like, would you
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: like her? And I said no. So I'm glad that
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: it worked out because I like to have people in person.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Pam has pitched me many times, but it never lines up.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: But it did this time. Good, good.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: So I want.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: You have a very interesting background of how your life
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: and your kids. So let's just let everyone know how
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: you got to have such a funny point of view
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: on your life. Because I think your point of view
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: is very unique.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Well, if you're not familiar with me, I always like
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: to start from the beginning. I had two kids by
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: my man by the time I was 15.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Wait, you had two kids by the time you were 15?
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, by my married man. I wasn't married.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, how did you meet him?
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: At the skating rink.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Roller skating. God, I loved roller skating. So did he.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: So wait a minute. So you're in high school.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not in high school.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: At that time, yeah, you had to be in high school. No.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I'm 51. So there was no middle school. So you
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: went from elementary straight to high school back in those
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: days in some area. So I was in elementary school.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: You were still like... Up to the eighth grade or whatever,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: ninth grade.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it went to the eighth grade.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, and so you're there roller skating around.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I went to a kid's night, like a little teen night,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: and he was there.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: And how old was he?
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: 22, married with a baby on the way.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: And so he starts flirting with you.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: No, he started coming by the next day, and we
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: kind of got to know each other. And, you know,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: I'm this little girl, oh, boyfriend, which is with somebody's
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: whole husband. And I ended up getting pregnant, and I
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: ended up having two kids. Dropped out of school in
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: the eighth grade.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Did the woman know about you?
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she knocked on my door and told me I
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: was pregnant by her husband.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Now, what city were you growing up in?
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I grew up in Atlanta.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: So what did your mom say?
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Uh, nothing. My mom was an alcoholic. I mean, pretty
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: much I raised myself. So, you know, she... One thing
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I know about life, um.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Curses are passed down. What happened to my mom, she
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: allowed to happen to me. But when it got to me,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I stopped it from happening to my daughter. So generation
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: curses are true. I used to tell this bit, if
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: your mom got welfare, then the child is going to
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: get welfare. The only reason why my daughter don't get
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: welfare is because she's gay and she don't have no kids.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: So the curse was stopped right there when my daughter
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: decided to eat what she was born with. So there
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: was no need for her to go on the system.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: When did she come out?
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: My daughter? Yeah. Oh, child. I knew my daughter was
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: gay from ever from the beginning. You know, you being denial,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: but you know, my daughter been licking plates the wrong
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: way since she was a baby. If your child is gay,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: And you fucking, excuse me, I don't know if I'm cursed,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: but if you look the other way, you are a
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: damn fool. Now, today, kids come out your vagina with
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: a fucking gay flag in their hand. Back then, the
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: flag would fold up nice and neat. My daughter was
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: gay from day one. There was no doubting she was gay.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: You can look the other way, but you know. I mean,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: it's the same when we tell you if your child
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: is sick. Or if your child is not feeling well.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: It's the same thing. So you know your child is
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: not acting a certain way. And as she got older,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: and she was stuck in that closet, you know, she
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: started to get meaner. She didn't like me because I
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: didn't like gay women. So just so many clues there.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: But I'm fine with her now. I mean, she go
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: through women like we go through lipstick.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: She's a player?
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: She's a whore. Oh. She's a hoe. I told her,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you gay, because you probably will have a
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: lot of kids.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh. Okay, so the guy is coming around,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: and you have the one baby with him.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: And then I have another baby. I had a baby
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: at 14, and I had another baby at 15.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Both by him?
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, both by him.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: And was the wife nasty to you? I mean, did
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: she want to, like, hurt you for coming around?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Well, she was mad, but when she showed up and
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: realized I was a damn kid, Because she probably was
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: 19 and I was 14. Wow. So for you to
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: show up and, you know, and you see your husband
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: having an affair with a 14-year-old, what do you do?
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, my whole thing is I thought I was
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: in love and I wasn't going anywhere because I just thought,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: you know, he said the right thing to me, which
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: is I love you. So I wasn't willing to let go.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: So eventually I ran her off and I thought I
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: was going to be number one child. Bitches started falling
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: out the sky like rain.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Well, like, I can't even imagine. So you're this little kid, like,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: having a baby, and then you took care of your
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: baby yourself every day.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: So then you couldn't go to school anymore at that point.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: I could go to school, but, you know, it was
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: more interesting stuff outside of school to do.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Sign up for a week, go to doctor's appointments, you know,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: do motherly shit. So and then, you know, I was
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: we was really we was poor. So I needed to
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: take care of this baby. So I had to go
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: get a job to take care of this baby.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: As a teenager.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: As a kid.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, I just can't even imagine my kids being
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: in that position. They would never know what to do. Well,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: and then and nobody thought. Like, we need to get
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: the authorities involved because this guy is an adult.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Nobody cares when you poor. And see, that's one thing
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: about what society don't realize. They don't care about, it's
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: really not a race thing when you poor. You just
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: fucking poor. This could have happened to a little white girl.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: This could have happened to anybody. But when you don't
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: have the right people around kids or in your life,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: nobody cares. And nobody damn sure don't care about a
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: little black girl getting pregnant in the seventh grade.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Wow. So you manage to have these two kids. When
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: do you stop having contact with this man so you
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: don't have a third with him?
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, years. I was with him for 10 years.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: You were with him for 10 years. Now, how did
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: you make sure you didn't have a third baby by him?
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: I had an abortion. Oh, okay. A few miscarriages. I
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: just knew what it was costing me to take care
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: of these first two kids and how much I was struggling.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I was like, I don't want no more kids. I can't.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: You know, I had an abortion when I was 16
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: right after my son. And I just said... I can't
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: afford it.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: And so I divorced my mom. I became a emancipated minor.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: And I was like, I can't do this. This is
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: just costing me so much. And, you know, when you
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: go out and fill out an application at 16 years
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: old for a full-time job, and people are like, you're
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: supposed to be in fucking school. So I couldn't really
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: get a job without a work permit. So I became
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: a drug dealer. Oh, my God. Nobody wanted a work
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: permit for that. They just wanted good crack. And good
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: crack is what I had.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Now, how did you get involved in that?
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Thank God for Ronald Reagan. He dropped drugs in the
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: black community, as we say. According to society.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: So this was like what year? This 80 what?
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Late 80s.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: The black community about 80. My daughter was born in 86.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: So by 85, 86, by 88, I was selling dope.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: And how would you, like, how does that work? Like,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: so you get it from somebody.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: You buy a little bit. I took my welfare check
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: at the time, which was $ 230. And I bought my,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: I think, I can't even remember. I think it used
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: to be called a quarter. It was called like $ 200
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: back in the day. And you would cut it up
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: and you would get $ 400 worth of crack out of it.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: And you just keep doubling it. And that's what I did.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: And then people just knew or like.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, people just knew who Rabbit was because I had
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: my own little trap.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, your name was Rabbit?
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: That's my childhood name, yeah.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Drug dealers are like rappers. We don't use our government names.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Okay. So then people just knew you'd be at this
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: location at this time?
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all the time. It was like when you set
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: up a trap, it's like you're a storefront. Okay. Back
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: in those days, people sold drugs for respect. You don't
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: come to my trap. This is my area. So I
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: had my own little area, which was my old neighborhood
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: where I grew up at.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: But what about the other drug dealers? Did they respect you,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: or were they mad that you were doing well, or
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: that you were a woman?
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Well, I was the most popular drug dealer in the trap,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: so I didn't have a problem. If you tried to sell,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: it really didn't affect me because everybody came to look
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: for me.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: So is that when you realized that you were the
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: funniest drug dealer in town?
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: No, I wasn't funny then. No, no, no.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: What about just having like a sparkling personality? Like if
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: I'm going to buy, you know, it's just like anything.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: If I'm going to go to a doctor, if I'm
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: going to go, I want to go to the person that,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: you know, I have some good convo with.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Well, you can't really make people laugh when they hide
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: because they don't even see you.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: So I didn't realize I had such a big personality.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: I was just outspoken. I said whatever the hell I
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: wanted to say.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: And if you laugh, you laugh. I wasn't there for entertainment,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: but I mean, to me, I was a pretty, pretty
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: good damn drug dealer. Comedy came along later. Once I, um, once, um,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: I went through the welfare to work program. I met
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: a caseworker. This is the first time I voted for
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Bill Clinton because he was cute. So I went through
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: that program and I met a caseworker, which the caseworker
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: thought that I was a, like, she was like, what
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: do you want to go to school for? Because at
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: the time you had to get your GED or you
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: would lose your benefits or you had to go to work.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: That was, it was welfare to work program. So my
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: caseworker was like, you dropped out in eighth grade. Why
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: don't you get a GED? And I was like, for what?
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: And she said, as I went through the GED program,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: she was like, you're really funny. Why don't you try comedy?
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: I said, what the hell is comedy? And she was like,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: like Richard Pryor. I didn't even know Richard Pryor was
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: a comedian. I thought he was just a funny-ass actor.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: And so I started to do some research at the
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: welfare center. And I was like, this man make this
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: kind of money telling jokes? And I was like, shit.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: I tell shit all the time on the phone talking
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: to my girlfriend. So I went to an open mic.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: In Atlanta.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: In Atlanta. A place called The Pub. And I never stopped.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: So the first time you got up there, did you
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: have even like notes written down or I'm just going
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: to get up and tell a story or what?
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: I had a joke about my brother being a fat
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: cat burglar. And it was this lady in the audience
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: that was drunk, was acting a fool. So I immediately
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: turned my attention to her and just started talking shit
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: to her. And everybody was crying. I was so nervous.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: And I was like, this is it. Oh, I can
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: do this.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: The car is beautiful. Where did you end up going
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: for it? This exclusive place that Donna's connections with. they
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: have more cars for more dealerships than, like, anywhere else.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: You have to put me in touch. What's it called?
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: It's Dunaidial.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Where?
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Dunaidial. There's an accent on the E.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Do you mean.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Yes, I got it on Dundale Cars.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: Lift?
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Please.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Are you going past Kimmage?
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, Kimmage.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: No. Dundale Cars. You couldn't possibly go anywhere else.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: I'm Darman, and this is What Happens Next. Each week
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: on the show, I sit down with extraordinary people who
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: have faced tremendous setbacks and yet somehow have found a
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: way to turn them into their greatest strengths.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: Life is one long lesson of chaos.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I'm heading to the Emmys, and I have police complaints
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: filed against me.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: When your free will was about to be taken from you,
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: what would you do if it was given back?
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: Where did that need come from where you thought that
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: you had to succeed in order to feel loved?
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: He said, I have a work dad.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: I need a home dad.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: What happens next? When I came in, he started crying.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Everybody in life encounters hardships.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: What defines them is not those hard moments that they
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: go through. It's about what happens next.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I decided to risk it all. I realized how valuable
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: every day was. You're worth the work.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Listen, Dara, I'm not going to pull punches. You can
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: use your voice even if it's shaped.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: The stories are different, but the impact is the same.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: Only one question matters. What happens next?
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: So you do a lot of crowd work still?
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: No.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, now you don't.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: I tell a lot of stories. Yeah, me too. I
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: do some crowd work towards the end just to mingle
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: with the audience. But I mostly tell a lot of
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: stories about, you know, how I grew up or being
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: married for 31 years or, you know, having just life.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, so then when did you get married?
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: 1992.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: So had you started comedy yet or no?
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: No.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: And who did you marry?
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: A nice guy named Garrett.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: And how did you meet him?
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Actually, we went to an open mic night and it
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: was Bruce Bruce was the host.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: So you were just watching it?
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: We all went to hang out one night.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, but you weren't performing yet?
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: I wasn't even on my mind. We just went to
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: go and watch Bruce and Bruce. It was lip singing
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: and comedy together. So my friend knew my husband's brother.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: So we said, hey, we just all go down here
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: and have a good time together. And that's what we did.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: And then so you got married.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Yep, got married at a courthouse, and my kids needed
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: a father. And I ended up getting custody of my
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: sister's four kids, raised them for 10 years.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Gave them back. Okay, so let's talk about that, because
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: I remember that being part of some of your sitcoms
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: that you've sold and stuff, was about also taking care
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: of your sister's kids, right? So how did that come about?
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: So my sister was on crack at the time, and
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: then I was coming out of the world of selling
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: crack because my husband was on. A church guy.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: The new Garrett was.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Yes. He just wasn't, he wasn't raised the way I was.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: So he was like, well, you know, just go get
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: a job. And I'm like, get a job? Who get
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: a job? Why don't you get a job with all
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: this money out here? So for love, I traded in
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: the streets. And right after I traded in the streets,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: my sister was losing her kids. And the defect worker said,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: somebody don't come get them today. I have to put
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: them in a home. And so my sister had four girls.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: And I was like, nah. I said, this is family.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: I don't want that to happen. So I went and
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: got them. And for 10 years, I raised them.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: And so when you took the four kids into your house,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: with your kids, what were the ages when all six
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: kids were in your house?
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Well, the two oldest was the same age. I think
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: there was around eight or nine, because that's when I
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: met my husband. Okay. My son was probably seven. My
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: sister had a six-month-old. She had a one-year-old. A six-month-old,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: she had a baby about to turn two. And then
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: she probably had a three-year-old. So we had babies, babies.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: And my husband had no kids at the time.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: And now he has six.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Well, at the time, he had six.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Wow. And you never had any more kids yourself?
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Yes, I had two by my husband.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: So then you had two with Garrett?
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Later on, I had two more.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, so then when you had the four kids and
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: your sister is not getting better?
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: No, she's not getting better.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: And at any point, was she calling you and wanting
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: to see the kids or being resentful? How was your
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: relationship with her being that she was a drug addict
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: and you're raising her kids?
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: I don't have patience with people. You know, it's no
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: problem with me saying fuck off. And for years, she
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: didn't see the kids. But where I went wrong, I
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: only had temporary custody because I always wanted to give
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: my sister her kids back.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: You know, when she was able and ready. And she
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: found out that I had temporary custody. I never turned
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: it over to permanent custody. And she came and got them.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: And they're all on drugs now. So now, fast forward
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: to 2023, I'm raising one of the kids who I raised.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: I'm raising her four kids because she's on drugs. And
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: I've had them now for 10 years. Her baby was, oh,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: I think a month, not even a month old when
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: I got her.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Well, this is exactly what you talked about, the curse.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: So that child. So after the 10 years, then they
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: went back to her.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: My sister's kids.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Your sister's kids went back to her. And at that
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: point they were. Pre-teens, teens?
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: They were pre-teens. They was in high school, get grades
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: and everything. And they all just got on drugs.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: And how did you feel about them going back to her?
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Were you like relieved or were you worried?
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: No, I was very hurt because I knew how my
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: mama raised us. And my sister was a lot like
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: my mother. And at first I started to fight it.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: And then everybody was like, oh, you know, you should
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: give her her kids back. And I was like, y'all
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: know this girl is not capable of taking care of
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: her kids. You know she, and I used to tell
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: my brothers, I said, you know, She's going to do
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: the same thing to those kids all mama did to us.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: And so, you know, I didn't get any support from
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: the family. So I was like, fuck it. I'm going
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: to go live my life. My whole life I've been
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: here trying to save my family.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: So I said, fuck them. And I just walked away
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: and I let her have her kids. So every now
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: and then I would bump into them. My niece, who
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: was a really good track star, ended up immediately getting pregnant.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: Then....
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: The other ones got pregnant.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: And if she was with you, if she would have
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: stayed with you, she probably would have gone on or
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: gone on to play for, you know, college or something.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, whatever on or something.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: We had plans.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: She was a senior. We was filling our college applications
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: when our mama came in.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh. What a heartbreaking.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: So when she left and she got pregnant, you know,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: the struggle was real. I just cut them off because sometimes,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: you know. you have to, sometimes you have to remove
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: toxic situations out of your life. If not, then you
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: become toxic. So I just said that.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: It.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: You know, fuck them. And that was, let's say I
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: know my niece dropped out of school. My niece got
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: pregnant at 11. 11 of 12. And I remember because
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: my sister called me and said, that the school was
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: mad because she's so fucking dumb. The school was mad
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: because she gave the kids in the sixth, because her
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: daughter's birthday was late and she was held back. And
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: I think she was in the sixth or seventh grade pregnant,
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: and she gave our baby shower invitation. And I was like,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: are you fucking stupid? This is not a birthday party.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: So I just continued to remove them out of my life.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: And then I was in Atlanta one day, And because
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: all of them had keys. One of them went to
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: jail for abusing the keys. And it's all kind of
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: crazy shit. Make a long story short.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: So it's like every time. So you're just like doing
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: your own thing. And then your phone rings.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: And you're like and they're like, can we please speak to.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: And you're just like, oh, shit. I know this is
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: this is something.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Well, there was always they would they started to call.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: And I just I just really removed myself from them.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: I didn't want to be bothered with anybody.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Now, at this point, when the sister takes over the kids,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: do you have a career in comedy yet?
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Comedy is just now kicking off. I'm trying to be
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: a comedian.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: And does the sister know that?
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she knows that.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: And is she like, go girl, or is she like, oh,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: you think you're all that?
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: They didn't think it was serious until it got to
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: this stage now. OK.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: You know, so you're not rolling in the money. You're
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: just struggling like everybody else trying to be the good
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: aunt and, you know, mom figure to all these kids.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: No, I didn't.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: When they was with me, I didn't I didn't have nothing.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: OK.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: I'm on welfare. I'm on based on income housing. I'm
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: working and I'm just doing things to get by. And
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: then comedy come along. And I find something, and it
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: comes along right after my sister take her kids. Okay.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you got to be still and let God guide you.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: I was heartbroken. I mean, I don't use the word
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: depression because the word depression is too strong. Because when
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: you use that word, your mind controls the body and
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: how the body feels. So if you speak that, the
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: body will start to feel that. But I was heartbroken
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: because I knew where I was trying to break a
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: generation of Christ, I mean Christ, generation of curse. a
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: high school dropout teenage pregnant molestation. My sister just threw
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: her kids back into that pit. So my daughter and
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: my niece was the first two to graduate in three generations.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: And I just said, I'm going to focus on my
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: own kids. Because for that part of my life, I
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: had focused on saving family members along with my kids.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: And then, you know, I was neglecting my own kids.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: So I went ahead and I raised my kids. And
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: I always had the family that I wanted to have.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: And I just didn't talk to them. And then fast
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: forward 10 years ago, I'm riding in Atlanta, and I
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: get a phone call, and my niece tells me she
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: needs pampers for her baby, and she's pregnant with another baby.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: She had four kids. She had three outside the stomach
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: and one inside. And I don't even think she was 20.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: And my other niece who I raised, she's 22. She
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: got seven kids. And I asked her where she was at,
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: and no lie, I was right at the exit where
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: she was at. So I went to this drug-infected area
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: and dropped out some pampers and milk, And I just said, Lord,
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: you're not about to trick me into this bullshit again.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: And I ended up having Christmas dinner with them. And
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: I brought her home with her four kids back to
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: my house.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: And this is only 10 years ago. So now you
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: are been successful for quite a while.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah. So I get these kids.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: And my career is starting to take off. I go
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: on tour with Cat Williams and stuff and make a
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: long story short. I was going to get these kids.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: She run off and leave me with these four kids.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: So she comes to Christmas. She moves in.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: With me in Indiana.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: I'm helping her get off drugs. I put in a drug.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: This is my niece. A drug rehab. Her baby dad
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: is in jail for armed robbery. I'm like, I teach
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: her how to drive. I buy her a car. I
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: help her get an apartment. I help her get a job.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: She makes supervise. I'm putting in a GED program. Everything
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: to make her life right. And she said, I'm missing something,
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: which is drugs. And she'd get back on drugs.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: What was her drug?
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Everything. You name it, she was doing it. She'd just
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: leave me with these four kids. I'd tell her, come
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: back and give me four cusses. And she said no. Because,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: you know, they're my kids. I don't want to give
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: you four cusses. I said, Lord, I'm putting them in
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: the fucking foster care. And I'd tell this bitch on
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: stage and God whispered in my ear and said, keep
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: them and I got you. My whole career took off.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Within that year.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I have chills right now.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Within that year.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Do you really on stage and you really felt? A voice.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: I felt a voice. It was a warm voice in
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: my right ear. And it said, keep them. Because I said,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: I can't do this. I said, I'm trying to have
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: a career. I'm trying to do something right. And I
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: got four fucking kids. And, you know, my daughter was
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: getting ready to go to college. She wanted to go
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: to HBCU, which is a historic black college. And, you know,
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: we live in Indiana. My daughter don't apply to Howard.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: She don't apply to other majors. And she got accepted.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: And so my career is starting to take off.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: So you feel like everything is just like, finally in place,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: and it's like you're living like a normal person.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Now your daughter is about to go to college, and
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: how old was your other child at that point?
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: My other child was at, she was 17, so he
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: was 16. He probably in the 10th grade.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, so like life is finally getting easier. They're self-sufficient.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: You're not raising any babies.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Well, no, I got my nieces there with the four kids.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: No, no, but I'm saying like, so you're like, okay,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: and then you hear that, no, keep them. So then
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: what happened?
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: And so when I said, well, We can't put them
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: in the foster home. We done had this baby for
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: six months. You love this fucking baby.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Right, of course.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: You know, she didn't actually be here. We saw this
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: baby come off drugs. We saw this baby do, you know.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: How old are the niece's kids that you're, um.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: At the time, it was a six-month-old baby, a two-year-old girl,
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: and a boy and a girl that was six, five
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: or six. So I said, it was a girl five
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: and a boy six. So I said, you know.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: All little, yeah.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: All little. I left them at my house. So I said,
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: you know what? I'm going to keep them, but I
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: don't know how. So since I'm a convicted felon, to
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: make a long story short, the state of Indiana said
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: you don't qualify for anything.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Because you got caught for selling drugs?
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I'm an ex-drug dealer. I'm a convicted felon.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: So they said, well, if you took my niece's kid,
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: they'd have gave you $ 750 or $ 900 per child. Since
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: it was me and I was a family member, they
• 26:18

  Speaker 2: No food stamps. No child care. nothing nothing i couldn't
• 26:32

  Speaker 2: at general motors i wasn't gonna do that i i
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: worked my ass to get out the system i wasn't
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: going back for these kids so i said fuck it
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: so make a long story short.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Um don't make it short this is so interesting well
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: and sad but but inspiring too like i want to
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: know like I appreciate you telling how you would change
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: your mind and know that you're doing the right thing.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: It's going to reward you.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: You have to believe that everything happens for a reason.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Why God took those four kids and placed them in
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: my life, I realize it now. But at the beginning,
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: I was pissed off. So I don't have permanent custody.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Nobody's trying to give me permanent custody. So my mind said, well,
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: go apply for temporary custody, right? Because she didn't leave.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: She just left the kids and they came to the
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: house and said, well, you got food in the refrigerator.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: You can take care of the kids. Well, no, I
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: can't if I don't have no way of talking and
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: speaking for these kids. So I go. I literally, I
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: go to the courthouse and get temporary custody. I go
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: in front of a judge. He hit the mic and said,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: I am a fan. Because I did a popular show,
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Bob and Tom. You know Bob and Tom? Yeah, yeah.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: And he said, well, do you want permanent custody? And
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: I said, yes. And that day I got permanent custody.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: And people was like, how the fuck did you get
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: permanent custody? I said, God placed me in front of
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: the right judge who understood my situation. Totally. And who
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: wanted these kids to have a future. So now the
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: youngest is 10 years old. It won't shut the hell up,
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: but I love her to death. And I have two
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: ninth graders and I have a seventh grader. And they're thriving.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: They're great.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: That is awesome. Now, where is the mother?
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Selling pussy in the West End of Atlanta somewhere. I
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: don't know.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: But she doesn't reach out.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Well, not really.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: What about in the day of social media?
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: I don't put them on social media. They don't have
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: a phone.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: I know, but she doesn't try to DM you or
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: find you.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: She's nowhere, man.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: She's not trying to.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm a no-nonsense person. I don't play no games.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: I'm 51 years old, Heather. I don't have time for
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: this shit. You're not going to come here with your
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: crackhead stories and try to play with my emotions. Leave
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: them alone. Just leave them alone. You saw what happened
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: when your mama stepped back in your life. So let's
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: break this cycle and leave these kids alone. Let them
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: grow up. If they decide to come back and let
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: you be their mama, then you can be their mama.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: They know who their mama is. They call me auntie.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: They only call me mama when they want something. Or
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: they introduce me as their parent. So, you know, nobody
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: got to really know our business. Right. They know I'm
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: their grandaunt or whatever the hell I am. I don't
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: know what I am to them.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess I'd be a grandaunt. Yeah.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: I don't try to— we don't discuss their mother. We don't
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: discuss their father. All I'm here to do is love
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: you and give you the foundation to start off of,
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: a solid foundation to start off of, something that I
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: never had.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Now, what happened with Garrett?
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: I'm still married.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, I thought you said I was married for 31 years.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: No, I'm married 31 years.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're still?
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, good.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: I'm glad. The whole time I was waiting for the
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: sad part of when Garrett, after everything he's done.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: No, I wouldn't trade him in for the world.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, good, good.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: No, I'm still married.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: Great.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, so then you start doing stand-up. And I feel
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: like you've been popping for, like, what, like 15 years?
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: We're like, what was your first series? I remember reading
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: that you had a series. Maybe it was just a pilot.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: But I remember reading, like, what your pilot was about.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: about taking in the four kids and all this stuff.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: And I was like, wow, this is really, I'm excited.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: This is interesting.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So I did, I did Joe Rogan and I
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: did Mark Maron and I'm not lying. When I tell
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: you they released those podcasts within the same week, Hollywood
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: came knocking and they was like, we want, this is
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: a TV show. And I met like six or seven studios.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: And I ended up.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: What year is this now around?
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: I don't remember. Five years ago. Only five? It must
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: have been longer than that.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: No, I think it's more longer than that. Yeah, I
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: think it's more like 10 or something.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like 10 now because it took five years
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: to get on TV and I'm going into the fourth
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: season of it. Oh, okay. So I went through a
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: couple production companies and, you know, my Fox, I landed
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: at Fox. Which was good, everybody thought.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: And then went through two writers, and it was Lee
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Daniel Run Howard Project. And so, you know, Hollywood, you
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: don't get three chances to develop no sitcom. No. They
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: throw your ass out the door. But for some reason,
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: I got three chances. And so it had to be good.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: I said, hold on. I got this person for you,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: but I haven't developed them right. So all while I
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: go through these two writers, it's a young kid named
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Jordan E. Cooper sitting somewhere in his last year of
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: high school getting ready to go to college. And he's
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: going to college for fine art here in New York.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: And he ended up getting on the same agency that
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Lee Daniel was with. And when they threw the show
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: out the second time, Lee asked Fox, give her one
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: more chance. We got something here. Make a long story short,
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: he said, I got this kid. I'm going to go
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: to the street. I found this kid, Jordan E. Cooper.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: And this kid studied me so hard.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: And he's only like a freshman in college?
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: He's only like 21, 22.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: In college or just finished?
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: No, he was in college his last year. Wow. He
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: was getting ready to graduate. And he's a writer. Just
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: drop out. I said, boy, don't drop out. Finish your
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: college degree. You don't wait this many years. So in
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: his last year of college, we were writing. We were
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: trying to develop the show. We take it over to Fox.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: So he studied. He watched all your stand-up specials.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: Everything. But Fox said, this boy ain't never developed nothing.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: How are we going to let him come in and
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: develop a show? This is Fox. He's 21, 22, no.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: So as Ron Howard Company and Fox is looking for
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: our third writer, I tell the kid, I say, look, boy,
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: they're never going to hire you. They're lying to you.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Let's write a pilot. And if it don't work, I
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: just say I wrote the pilot. So we up for
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: a week straight putting this thing together. He kind of
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: had it in his head. And I just gave him,
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: you know, I gave him the vehicle. He already had
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: the drivers. He already had the show cast, to be
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: honest with you. We get it together. We writing this pilot.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: We going back and forth. Eight days in, I said,
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Lee Daniel, I want you to read something. And he's like,
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: what do you want me to read? And he's like,
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: you need to stop trying to write stuff. We already
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: getting you writers. But as I'm talking to these production companies,
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: which is Ron Howard Company, they was like, we got
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: four more writers for you to meet. I'm like, write, motherfucker, write. Write,
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: hurry up and write.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: And he's like in college still like going to classes.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, going to classes. And then writing the sitcom. That's amazing.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Writing the sitcom.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: That's amazing.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: I handed over to Lee Daniel. He read it. He
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: called me back. He said, who the fuck wrote this?
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: And I said, me. And he said, no, you didn't.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Everything is spelled right. And so I tell him the
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: kid that he brought to me wrote this. And he couldn't,
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: Foxham couldn't believe it. They was like, okay, he can
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: write the pilot. So we had pretty much wrote the pilot.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: And not only did we write the pilot, we had
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: the whole first season planned out had they picked it up.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: And so you shot it?
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: No, actually.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: You filmed it or what happened?
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Actually, they switched the character. They allowed me to be
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: me more. Okay. So with that, my sitcom is the
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: first to do that type of like cussing, really pushing
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: the envelope, I believe.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: So they was like, well, we can't show this on network.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: And so- The co-creator's like, well, let's take her to
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: a streaming service. Hulu bought it. And Hulu buys it
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: and say, hell no.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: This is too edgy now.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Well, I just don't think, I think some people at
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Hulu wanted it, but their decision making didn't understand what
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: it was like to be a black mom in America.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: They didn't think people like me existed because they never
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: interact with a Miss Pat before. But it's a whole
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: audience out there for that type of mom. You know, blunt, honest.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Set your black ass down. Don't make me slap your white.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: You know, I said all kinds of shit on my show.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: So I just think that they didn't think it was
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: a market or audience for that. Then they let it loose.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: They dropped it. I'll never forget how I was going
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: on stage, sold out in Raleigh, North Carolina. I get
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: a phone call, Lee Day. You could hear the crackling
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: in his voice. He said, Hulu didn't pick you up.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: And I said, okay, that's fine. I said, but I'm
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: sold on it. I got to go out. He said,
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: are you okay? I said, I'm fine. Now, one time
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: in my heart did I not believe that they would
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: pick up that show. Somebody, two months go by, BET
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Plus would like to do your show. And I said,
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: what the hell is BET Plus? And so my co-creator,
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: he knew everything about TV. You know, if it was
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: a streaming service that was new, he knew about it.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: And he said, oh, my God, it got less than
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: a million followers. We're going to die over there. And
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: I said, one thing I know. About life. From selling
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: crack all the years that I sold it. If your
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: product is good, the people will come. No matter where
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: the fuck you at. Let me tell you something. You
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: got some crackhead that will climb to the moon to
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: get what they want. And I'm just being honest. And
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: so we created this show. Went over to BET. They
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: released it. Bam. It shut the app down.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: Because so many people were subscribing and watching. So many
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: people came over to BET. That is so awesome.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: And so now that show is a sitcom. Based off
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: of my life. And you filmed that in Atlanta?
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: I filmed that in Atlanta.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: Awesome. So that's close. So it's like you could just
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: go out of your door and go to the studio.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Do you do it in front of a live audience
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: or a single camera?
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: We do it in front of a live audience, which
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: a lot of people got away from. But no, baby,
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: we have a party. When I tell you people are
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: lined up to come see Miss Pat's show taped live,
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: and I think we're the only one that's doing it
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: in Atlanta. So we taped a pilot in L.A. And
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: we just took everything that we learned from L.A. over
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: to Atlanta, which was a little hard in the beginning
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: because they don't shoot live shows. And people are not
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: used to coming to see live sitcoms shot like that. Yeah.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: But it worked.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, the third season was popping. We was turning
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: people away.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Amazing. And now you have another show.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, I'm a judge.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: And so tell us about that because I love this.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: So it's called Miss Pat Settles It. Okay. After the
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Miss Pat show was pretty successful, my agents and things,
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: we started to talk with Viacom and BET. And I
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: ended up getting the overall deal over there. Because I
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: like being at Viacom because they understand who I am.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: And they allow me to create in my voice. They
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: don't try to strip me of my voice. So I
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: signed a two-year deal over at Viacom. And my deal
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: was to bring them more shows. So I brought them
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: the court show. And I say, hey, I got an idea,
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: but I think it should be somebody else. And they're like, no,
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: what about you? And I said, what you mean, what
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: about me? I'm a convicted felon. They was like, I said,
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: I can't be a judge. I've been to jail. They said, oh,
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: it's TV. You could be Jesus. So I taped it,
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, I like this.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: So people come in with like a people's court. It's
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: like a people court. Yeah, and then you kind of feel,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: so like what are some of the cases that, Tell
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: me one case that you got to decide who should
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: get what.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: Well, this one black lady went to her friend. She
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: wanted a Farrah Fawcett haircut. Farrah Fawcett, okay. You know,
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: everybody want to look like Farrah Fawcett. And I don't
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: want to know why these plus-size women thought they could
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: look like Farrah Fawcett, but she cut the wig up
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: like Joe Dirt.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, she brought the wig to be styled. To be styled.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: And colored like Farrah Fawcett.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: And when I tell you she chopped that bitch up
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: like he had been through a blender.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: And what was crazy, because I didn't know it was
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: real cases and real people. So when I said, oh,
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: I'm going to give you $ 5, 000, but I'm going to
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: give you an extra $ 2, 000 because you cried. And they
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: was like, you're messing up the budget. I said, what
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: are you talking about? They said, Ms.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Pat, this is real money.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: I said, this shit real?
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: You didn't even know that until you were actually filming?
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: Until I was actually filming, just giving out money.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. That's hilarious. I love that. Yeah. Okay,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: so I want to ask you a little bit. Since
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: you're in Atlanta, I am a big Housewife fan. Have
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: you had any dealings with the real Housewives of Atlanta?
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Do you know any of them? Have you ever, like,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: popped in for a scene or anything?
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: I just did some promo with Nene.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: Love her.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: Yes, I do, too. And Candace, I see Candace all
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: the time.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Candace the best.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, but who is, I don't really, I bump into
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: them at parties and stuff, but I've never really watched
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: the Housewives. Oh, okay. So I'm not a reality type
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: TV person. My background is- Well, I mean, those are the.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: Two, Kani and NeNe, like they are like, well, NeNe,
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: you know, pursued acting and everything before and then since
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: she's acted. So she's in the professional realm. And then,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: of course, Kandi is, too. So, like, the other ladies
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: are just, you know, really housewives, you know, that got
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: on the show.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, so I see everybody, you know, nice or out,
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: you know, whatever. I'm in that little circle now. So
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: if I go to an event, you probably see most
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: of them.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it. And now I want to ask you,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: what do you think? Now, I am going to buy
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: Jada's book today. I'm going to the bookstore because I
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: want to read it myself. And I also want to
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: listen to the audio because I'm hearing all the clips
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: about Jada and Will. And you're probably seeing all the clips, too,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: of the things that she has said. And so I
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: just want to get your opinion of them in general.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: What do you think is going on?
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on. I tell people all
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: the time, mind your damn business. If you mind your
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: damn business, I got other stuff going on. My husband
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: got diabetes. He passed gas that night. He strolled really loud.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: I don't give a damn about no Jada and Will.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: I'm hoping she's doing all of this to make this
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: book a bestseller.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: No, I think she is.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: I'm buying the book, too. Let me tell you something.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: I'm buying the book, and I don't even read no
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: damn book. I'm definitely reading the book.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: No, I mean, it's just, she's dropping, you know, a
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: lot of things that seem a little controversial.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: Nobody cares about. She's up here talking about what you
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: call an alopecia. The man been dead for over 20 years. Tupac.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: She said Tupac had alopecia too.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. He ain't even got a head no more.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: You know what she also said? I forgot to say
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: this because I talked about this on my show. Do
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: you know that Willow, the daughter of she and Will,
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: wrote some letter to Tupac and saying, please come back
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: down from heaven so my mommy can be happy. And
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Will was aware of it.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: That is like, I just feel bad for Will.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: So Heather.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: And then other people say I shouldn't feel bad for Will.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: Well, Heather, it's obvious you never had any good black
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: dick before.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: You are 100% correct.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: When you get good black dick.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: I haven't had any.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: Well, when you get some good black dick, you will
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: be writing Jesus, too, to bring them good black dicks back, okay? Okay.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: So obvious Willow knew what Tupac had put on her
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: mama and she wanted to see her mama grin. And
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: I tell people all the time, there's a difference between
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: thug dick and educated dick. They don't run in the
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: same circle.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: What's the difference of the circles?
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: One arm pound you, one arm hunt you.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Wait, one will what?
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: One pound you.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, one pound.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: Okay. And the other one goes gentle and slow.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: Wait, so which one is which?
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: The ghetto dick.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: The ghetto is the pounder? Yeah, the ghetto is the pounder.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: Oh. That's good sex. When a guy got a tattoo,
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: they can't read, they thugged out, and they can fuck.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: What about women who... fall in love with the guy
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: behind the bars. I'm fascinated by that. They have a whole,
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: that's who they're seeking out. They visit them. They didn't
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: know them even before they got in.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: What?
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: What do you think of women like that? Women that do,
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: they like having a boyfriend who's in prison. They feel
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: they're going to save him. They go visit him.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: I think them bitches are crazy. I mean, but you
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: got to say, hey, they've been, you little thugs done
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: got some good sex, Heather. They do. But I don't know.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: It's according to how long he's been in jail for me. Because,
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: you know, you don't want anybody to come down and
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: just want to switch it back out because they're on
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: the other side. You know, some people like men that
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: go both ways. I like my men that go one way.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, you mean some that are bisexual?
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, bisexual.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: Yes. I always remember that one of my favorite Oprahs
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: was the Down Low episode. Do you remember that one?
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: Do you not remember the episode?
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: I live in Atlanta. This was.
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: Like so eye opening. So Oprah had on all these
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: black guys who then were like, we're on the down low.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: That was the first time I ever heard the down low.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: Heather.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, on Oprah. But this is like 20 years ago.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: This is a long time ago.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: The height of Oprah. And they were like, look, we
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: have wives, girlfriends, but we just like having sex with men,
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: but we don't want to be in a parade. We
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: don't want to live a gay lifestyle. We're just on
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: the down low. And I'm hearing these women's stories about
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: how they never knew and then they came home one
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: day and what they're seeing. And I guess it was
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: because for this age of men, which now these guys
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: would be 50, 60 years old, it was just so
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: unaccepted to be gay.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: To be gay. It was only to be unaccepted to
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: be gay to people who wasn't gay. If people were
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: minding their fucking business, we would have never been unacceptable.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: I never gave a fuck about nobody being gay. I
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: gave a fuck about my own vagina. I can only
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: keep up with my vagina. I can barely keep up
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: with it. When the hell get the groin to look
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: like the Gap Band down there. So I can't be
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: worried about nobody else. That's the problem with society. We
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: too busy worrying about anybody. All you got to do
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: is be happy.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: If you happy, you can't notice what other people is doing.
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: You only noticing shit because you're miserable.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: Yes, exactly.
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: And the stuff that you're noticing is somebody else's happiness.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: That's why you got an opinion. And that's what's wrong
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: with the world. Jada and Will have been switching out
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: each other for years. Why is everybody shocked?
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: Well, she said they're not. She said all those rumors
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: about them being swingers and gay and open marriage, whatever,
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: was not true until seven years ago when they said
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: we're separated. Then she got with her son's friend.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: And then.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: And I can understand why. Did you not see his penis?
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: August?
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: It was huge.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: How did you see August's penis?
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: In some drawers on Instagram, right?
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: Is there a photo of him, like, walking across the
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: street and you see it?
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: No, it ain't that kind of dick, Heather.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: Fuck you think we got black men got cow dicks.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: No white and there's times when you get a guy
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: whether it's john ham who's white or anybody of any
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: ethnicity and they're wearing a certain kind of pant and
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: you can really see it yes through the clothes did
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: you see it naked or through the clothes i think
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: i saw it through the clothes okay and it looked big.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah and it wasn't even hard I mean, but
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: you a middle-aged woman, right? Yeah. Come on, Will Smith
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: is 52, 55 maybe. He ain't doing what Olga Agostina doing,
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: whatever his name. He ain't doing what he doing, okay?
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: So let's just keep it real. I can understand why
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: she jumped on that bike. It had both wheels. A
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: 55-year-old man got a flat somewhere.
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: I love your analogies and expressions. That is really what
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: makes your comedy, I think, so funny and unique.
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're married. Sometimes to keep the spice, you
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: got to reminisce. Ooh, Lord, I remember when 1992. Then
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: you start imagining that person. Yeah. And all of a sudden,
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: you hollering. He's like, why are you hollering? You're like,
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: you're looking like, oh, it's you. That never happened to you?
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: Don't say it.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: I've been married 23 years.
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: Yes. Okay.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been married 23 years. But, you know, listen,
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: I'm watching The Golden Bachelor. I don't want to be
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: on it. So now I'm like, I'm happy that I'm happy,
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: you know, but there's times when your friends are getting
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: divorced and they're getting some. fresh dick, and you're hearing
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: the stories at the dinner, and then you come home
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: to the man in the lazy chair or whatever, and
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: you're like... But in the end, you know, as long
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: as you have a good man, it's so important. But
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: that's just all the truth of it, you know?
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: I truly understand why middle-aged women are outdating older men.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, younger.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: Younger, yeah. I can't do it. because they lazy. I
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: have a 37-year-old son. I could never see me dating
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: a 37-year-old. That's just not my thing. Plus, they got
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: too much energy for me. I just want to lay
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: down and look at TikTok. I don't want you rubbing
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: on me. You got to fix yourself up for them.
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: You got to put on a good bra. It's hard
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: to tell a 37-year-old why your titties are uneven. So
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: I'm going to keep what I got because I don't
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: have to explain stuff. My husband know how to untouch
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: my navel, I mean my nipple from my navel. A
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: 37-year-old wouldn't know. Why is that connected, boy? Pull it apart, okay?
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: So I'm going to keep what I got.
• 48:06
