Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. How you start on your premiere week and get COVID. This is the, yes, I am COVID free. I am fine. I had no symptoms. You know what the worst thing about COVID is? What?

When you got to call people and tell them you got COVID. I had to call all of, I guess, John Batiste. He was headed to France to perform. And he was so amazing because you got to do, hey, girl. Hey, hey, dude. Hey, I got something to tell you. It's like you're about to tell somebody you got STD. Like it's horrible. And he was he was like, Sherry, I didn't love you. We all right. And he just he was great. I called Michelle Boutteau. She was fine. I called Julie Chen. She was good. That damn Leslie Jones.

I called Leslie Jones. I said, hey, girl. Hey, I got something to tell you. She was like, girl, I love our sisterhood. I love you, girl. Thank you for having me on the show. The show about to go to number one. I said, I got COVID.

She went, bitch, you got COVID. I got shows this weekend. When I tell you, Leslie Jones, oh, my God, all that friendship. You lose friendships over COVID. Leslie was like, wait a minute, bitch. Did you hug me? Did you kiss me? What you do when you came in my dressing room? And I was like, calm down, okay?

And she was like, you know what? I don't appreciate the fact that you had COVID. You ain't tell me you had COVID. Like, you didn't have no mask on or nothing when you came at me. And I said, first of all, I didn't know that I had COVID. Now, we screaming at each other. I didn't know that i had covid now we're screaming i didn't know that i had covid leslie i just i didn't have any symptoms i would not have been on the air with you with covid i said i don't play and plus you freaking nine feet and i said if i gave you coke you got it in your titties because first of all you know how tall you are next to me

that's what you got covered in your titties this girl every day she was like yeah i've tested negative bitch i'm negative today and she's like i'm going on tour and i was like i'm glad you negative let me know every day leslie i'm not sure leslie and i said y'all put up a picture of leslie jones at the studio she not allowed in because she want to fight let's go fight me and i'm sick i got covet y'all ain't reconciled that yet? I told Leslie, I said, Leslie, everybody on the show negative. We're good. I think you're good. Nobody got it.

And I left her a note. And I said, just let me know how the book did. Leslie ain't answer me back yet. Now I got to find this girl. And I said to Linnea, I don't know if I should send flowers because then it would look like I'm giving in. Or if I should be like, you know, you know, bitch, that's good. Your show, your book didn't did well. I'm like, I don't know how to because I never had to tell.

This was the week of her book release. This was the week of the book release. Oh, you did that on purpose. No, I didn't. Leslie, I think she did it on purpose. And I'm going to tell people. And that's what I'm going to tell Leslie. If you look back at you, nobody on my set got COVID except me.

There's nobody. And that was great. If you look at the show me and Leslie and Leslie was like girl we is amazing and you weren't and I said Leslie gave me COVID I said she would no she didn't give me COVID

that's when I look I'm gonna send a blinged out COVID test that's when we was looking I said look how tall Leslie is. There is no possible way I could give Leslie COVID because she way tall. My breath is hitting her boobs.

So, either Leslie will sue me in court or we going to be hanging out. Don't say that now. Don't give her no idea. I'm not saying she would, but you never know. At no point in time. Now, how did you know you had COVID? Do you test every day on the show, or was it you got sick or a stomachache? I was just, my voice was real hoarse, and I was tired.

And it was only, like, somebody had visited the set, and they came down with COVID. So, you know, when somebody around you say they got COVID, you start having all the symptoms. You're like, what the? You know, and you feel like you sniffling more. You feel tired. So I was supposed to go to dinner with a bunch of people.

And I said, let me just, because I keep coughing. Let me take this COVID test. And it came back negative. And I said, well, let me take it again. Because you don't believe. And then it came back positive. Then I realized I was using a box from 2021. So I had to send my son to the deli.

I said, get a chopped cheese sandwich for mama and a COVID box. And so I took it again. They both came out positive. And then I said, let me just go. What, the sandwich and the? No. What? Well, I was positive that chopped cheese was good.

Okay. The COVID test came out positive. So I walked to the urgent care and I took it. And then this is how common COVID is the doctor who told me that I was positive he didn't even have a mask on he was like yeah you got it and I go you don't want to put a mask on he was like no because everybody gonna get it it's like the flu then when I started talking to other people celebrities they would say do you know who gave it to me this other celebrity and I'm like okay so these celebrities just passing it around

and so it's it's a pandemic. You gonna get it. It's like the flu. Was it your first time getting COVID? No, the first time I got it was when I filled in for Wendy.

They had a Christmas party. They decided to have a Christmas party. I got that damn COVID. Somebody gave me COVID at the Christmas party. So Wendy gave it to you? No,

because Wendy wasn't there. I was filling in for her. I like that Wendy gave it to you. You don't be starting no rumors. Do not do that to me. You don't be starting no rumors. Do not do that to me. Because then I'm getting in trouble. Wendy, you need to say it. Wendy gave you COVID.

No, she did not. But I said everybody was fine. And then my throat started burning. Damn. Then I had COVID. Then when we officially ended the show, when I knew I was going to have my own show, I got COVID. So both times they had to put me in a hotel. I quarantined here in a hotel.

I quarantined here in New York. And then this is the third time. No symptoms. Like this is a, this is a COVID that you have no symptom, no runny nose, nothing. I coughed maybe twice, but I had to stay.

I didn't want to, you know, Kiki Palmer was coming and I didn't want to take the chance. I didn't want nobody. That's a horrible thing when somebody calls you and goes, you know what? Now I got COVID. And I think't want nobody. That's a horrible thing when somebody calls you and goes, you know what, now I got COVID. And I think it was you. So I said, I don't want anybody to get it.

So I stayed home until it was, I had five tests and they were all negative. Well, congrats on the new season. Yes. Congrats on season two. I had all that to say. Congrats on season two. It's got to be more than season two, right?

No, this is season two. We just started. It is season two. I feel like you've been on for like three, four years now. Oh, my God. It's got to be more than season two, right? No, this is season two. We just started. It is season two. I feel like you've been on for like three, four years now. Oh, that's a good thing. Well, I don't know if this- Because remember, she guest hosted for a while. I guest hosted for a while, yeah.

And every time she came up here, so- And I was always coming up here. That's right. So it is season two, and we back. And I got my breast reduction, and came back and told everybody. And so I'm happier. And it's, yeah, it's good. What led to that decision?

What made you want to get a breast reduction? Your back was hurting? My back was hurting. I was slouching all the time because they were heavy. I started getting the grooves in my shoulders. And I just was like, and then it wasn't like for me,

and I know women probably would get on me. My boobs were like my calling card. When I was coming up in the game, like I had hecklers who would talk about my boobs and I learned to deal with hecklers on stage and it was like when I walked in they was pretty they was like I had porno girl boobs and it was up under my chin so when I walked in the room I didn't have hips usually girls with big boobs are narrow at the bottom we don't have a butt we don't have hips we got these boobs and they were everything then all of a sudden I looked up one

day and I was like I look like my auntie Ernestine who go to church like they came church like there was yeah it was flat full you know and it was like and i was just like i don't like i don't like this they became they became like people wanted to hug me because they just felt good you know they felt comforted people wanted to like put their head on my chest and i said marco wanted to hug me because they just felt good. You know, they felt comforted. People wanted to like put their head on my chest. And I said, Marco wanted to like put his head on my chest and cry. Like I don't like my boobs like that. They became the comforter as opposed to, I used to walk in a room and men would be like, damn. Now they looked at me and they was like, oh, hey, auntie.

And I was like, oh, okay. What changed here? So I just like, they were my best friends. And I went, it's time to let go. Because I don't like the pain. I don't like the grooves in my, I tore muscles in my rotator cuff. Because of my boobs. Because of your boobs?

Because of my boobs. So heavy. And just to let people know, insurance still wouldn't pay for it. They still said it was a vanity thing and cosmetic. So I paid for it. I don't want nobody to think, oh, she getting a discount. I paid for it. And I'm now fighting the insurance company to get reimbursed for at least some of it.

Now, does the doctor measure it to know how much to take out? Like, how does that process work? Oh, my gosh. Is it a size thing? When I tell you, I talk to so many people, they take out a bunch of Crayola markers and they start drawing on your body because at the same time they were like it was just little pockets of fat and the doctor said do you want us to take off us your back fat and I said I don't have any fat on my back you don't realize how much fat on your back you have until they have all the marker drawings on

your back the doctor said you want me to unbig your back that's basically what the doctor said, you want me to unbig your back? That's basically what she said. That's basically what the doctor said. That's basically what she said. But it was like, you know, it's from gaining weight and losing weight and gaining weight. I just had loose skin. And so they draw on you, like literally coloring in within the circles. You have more drawings. And I sent pictures of them to everybody. Garcelle Bouvet was like, you got to let me know before you're going to send me pictures of just your boobs. Niecy Nash was like, this is too much.

I'm tired of this. I'm really tired of you sending me these pictures. But they're so pretty. I was like, oh my gosh, they're beautiful. I need you to see them. And so I just kept sending pictures. And Niecy said, can you at least blur out your face? And I said, no, I need people to know these are mine.

They look so good. So I'm happy because I don't have that heaviness. Oh, you sent them the new pictures. I sent them the old ones. And because I was like, look, damn, you don't really look at your boobs because they're always in a bra. But when they're sitting there and they sitting on your knees, I was like, golly, these suckers is huge.

You know, these people got kids. So their kids could have a phone. They could be playing on their mama phone. And then all of a sudden, bam, Sherry Sheppard naked. It's either traumatize them or they're going to be like, wow, I got a good fetish. I don't know which one it's going to be. I'm tripping off the fact that you said you can look at your boobs. And Envy goes, yeah.

How do you know? No, she's saying you look at. You know what? How do you know? She's telling me her story. I'm agreeing. And I want to ask, how long did you have to sit out for? How long were you down for? Now, here's the thing.

If you get a breast reduction when you're in your 20s, your 30s, two weeks, you back to normal. I was out for 12 weeks. At my age, my body was like, hey, bitch, you did this late in life. This wasn't even supposed to be happening now. So it was 12 weeks. I didn't do anything over. I was supposed to go out of the country I didn't do anything over the summer but sit in and watch Netflix the whole time I did manage to go out and strike but I couldn't when I went on the strike I couldn't

um carry my sign because I was with Viola Davis and uh Niecy and I was like the sign is too heavy I can't and I had all my compression garments on, but I was like, I got a strike because I'm an actor. But Viola was complaining. She was like, how long we got to walk? We walking? Oh my God.

And I said, you was the warrior woman. What in the world? You know what I mean? Because where we were striking was at Disney and to walk around the whole of Disney

is a whole mile. And so we were doing it like three and four times. Viola was like, how many times we gonna walk around this? Because if you go to Netflix, it's just back and forth in front of the parking lot. Back and forth. But Disney, we was at, you know, we had everybody, all of

the black writers and the actors and it was like, we was like, okay, we felt like slaves just going around and around and around. How many times y'all do it? I think we did it like three times. We did like three miles. How long is it? Three miles. Three miles.

I'm saying how long. I'm talking about how long time. How much time? Well, you know, if you're in your 20s, three miles will take you 10 minutes. But when you are aging and you're tired still from the warrior woman, it took us like an hour. And then we talking. Niecy, we talking. Nobody's seen each other in a long time.

Aisha Hines was there. And we just talking and so we was walking to all the white people's like can y'all strike with a purpose come on they going all around us and we're like hey come on we talking we having a good time because when black people you know we see each other we hollering and screaming acting like we ain't got no sense and uh so it took us a while y'all could have just did it once and put it on instagram no but we really but we really were down for the cause. It's just our cause took a long time as we were going around.

Now you got flack at first for bringing the show back right away. People were mad at first. People were upset with me, but nobody picketed my show because I wasn't doing anything wrong. The reason why is because talk shows, reality shows, dance shows, competition shows were all under a different contract. We're not under a SAG-AFTRA contract. And so if you had any WGA writers,

then you were a struck show. You could not go on. I don't have WGA writers. You know, the WGA is in my head. I write all of my own stuff. And then somebody will say, well, that joke is not funny. Or maybe you say something like this.

So I never had any writers on my show. So we were able to keep going. And I sure had a meeting where everybody on my crew and staff and said, we are blessed because we are allowed to keep going. We all have a job. So it's not rocket science. We are here to make people laugh and forget about their problems. So before anybody starts complaining, let's remember, we have a job.

Because there's a lot of people. Otherwise, I'll be on Instagram crying like the other people. Crying and understand why I'm doing this. And no. So we're very blessed. And you're a comedian, so you can go on that road and make money, too. That's what, you know, all my friends who are coming. Let me tell you, Kim Whitley is on the road.

Like, honey, she got Joshua in a suitcase. Her son. She is on the road. She going to Puerto Rico. She going here. And I said, girl, why you keep going on the road? She said, because I'm not working. She's an actress. So what she does is stand-up

comedy. So yes, all my friends who are stand-ups, Chris Spencer, they get back on that road. Do you ever worry about the new generation only knowing you as a daytime host over being a stand-up comedy? The new generation? No, I'm okay. I'm okay because they all now calling me auntie. I think the new generation. Even after the breast reduction?

Even after the breast reduction. I don't mind auntie though. Auntie is, to me, it's a sign of respect because you could be calling me something else. Absolutely. So I feel like the young ones now, when they say, oh my God, you're a legend, you inspire me. Even Jess, I texted her and I said. Jess Hilarious. Jess Hilarious.

I said, you do things at a level. You make it look easy, which means you're working hard. And I appreciate that. And she goes, you know what I mean? So much coming from a legend like you. And I was like, hey, bitch, I ain't dead. I'm not dead. Okay, damn.

You should get your flowers while you're here. But I appreciate what Jess Hilarious said because it's like she said, that means a lot coming from you because you're a legend, which means, yeah, you look up to me. And so this generation, I'm like, I like that. I inspire you. And plus, no matter what, you always will see Beauty Shop is going to come on. My movie Beauty Shop is going to come on somewhere.

Jamie Foxx is playing. The Jamie Foxx show is playing in so many countries. So excuse me, that's going to come up. So people see me in different things. I'm glad you brought up just though because i think about like you as a daytime host or you think of like a dl hugley or steve harvey doing radio every day it's something about having that platform every day that elevates everything right wait say that again like you do daytime tv you did that with the view and you do

it now like with your own show but then dl has his own radio show steve has his own radio show it's something about being on a platform every day that elevates you as a comic too, right? Yes, it does. God damn. COVID is back. I thought y'all told me y'all COVID tested Sherri Shepherd. This is a damn lie. Did y'all check us? What is going on?

What is happening? Get her some water. I know a COVID cough when I hear one. You know a COVID cough? That does sound like a COVID cough. That is not a COVID cough when I hear one. You know a COVID cough? That does sound like a COVID cough. That is not a COVID cough. Sound kind of COVID cough-ish. Oh, my gosh. I'm so sorry.

Okay, I'm good. You sure? No, I'm not sure. But I'm good. Look, Leslie Jones is texting me now. See, bitch? That was not. That really went down the wrong throat.

See, this is the problem when you have had COVID. The wrong throat? How many throats you got? How many throats you got? How many throats you got? I don't know. You got a breast reduction and a throat addition? Oh, my God. This is the problem when you had COVID.

You can't even have a good cough. Nope. You know, it's one of them coughs like you're somewhere where you can't cough, and then your shoulders start moving. And, like, Charlotte, man, I really didn't understand what you were saying. All I saw was your mouth move, because I'm like, I can't cough, because they're going to think it's COVID. But my shoulders is moving,

and I can't hold it. Oh, my God. Jesus, help me. I can't. I got it. And I had to do it. I'm sorry. I was just saying, when you have a daily platform, it elevates you as a comic. You do, because you have a platform to go on every day. That's what I love about having a talk show

because I'm able to bring people on like my laugh lounge. We have. And so I'm able to bring comics on that I know are brilliant that wouldn't be able to go on a talk show. And so, yeah, I got that platform. I got that platform to bring on a chef that maybe needs some shine. I got the platform to bring on artists like New Edition and give them the entire show to show, you know, to show people.

Holding that coffee in your hand. No, it's not my – when y'all see my – My eyes is watering. My eyes is too watering. And normally I got all of the breasts to, like, diffuse it, but I don't have my breasts to like hold it back. I think that's why I miss it. Oh my gosh.

It's going past it. But no, it's so nice to have a show where I do have the platform and I do come into people's homes and I'm able to say Tracy Spencer and Shanice came on the show. And that was one of our highest rated shows. So because people wanted to see them. So yeah, Dio has his platform for politics I have my platform to make people laugh and just feel good and I feel like it gives you more material when you do hit the stage it I have so much material

I wish I could do the behind the scenes that's the material I can't do until I'm like 90 and I write my book but it gives me a lot of material. Absolutely. Feel free to text Jess and tell her that. Feel free to text her and tell her that. Text her and tell her that. The behind the scenes. Yeah, yeah. To hold it till she 90. I love me some Jess.

Just letting her know having a daily platform is a good thing. No, we love Jess. Oh, we trying to get Jess on? I'm just saying. I love Jess. We love Jess. Jess is like Jess with the mess. I love her so much. She checks us. She checked me this morning. She checked us this morning from LA. I'm just saying. I love Jess. We love Jess. Jess is like Jess with the mess.

I love her. She checks us. She checked me this morning. She checked us this morning from LA. That's at Baltimore. That's at Baltimore and Jess. I love Jess. We had Country Wayne on the show.

And I swear to gosh, I wanted to go, so what happened with you and Jess? But I'm the kind of show, we're not going to get no mess. I want you to have a good time. But I really was like, what happened with you and Jess? Country Wayne. Tell me. You still got Country Wayne in trouble. A little bit. Just a in trouble. A little bit.

Just a little bit of backlash on social media. He got all of them. 200,000 a month. 200,000 a month. 10 kids, five baby mamas. I didn't realize because I couldn't believe. I was like, how much you pay? I know how much I got.

How much you pay all these kids? So when he said 200, I was like, oh, my God. I didn't mean to get him in trouble At all That's a lot of kids That's a lot of kids Why y'all like having so many kids? I don't I got four

One woman One beautiful black woman That's amazing But I just go Why? Like Nick Cannon got 92 kids And like Well that's your fault

No that's not my fault Yeah cause you took the spot from him If he'd have had daytime TV He probably would have Oh he wouldn't have had time To make no kids He wouldn't have had time to make no more babies. So you're saying when his show was taken, he was depressed.

Y'all will have sex no matter what. Y'all have sex when you get a great job. You have sex when you're feeling confident. You have sex when you're depressed. You want to have sex when you lost your job. You want to have sex when you... It's just, no matter what, you will always want to have sex when you done lost your job. You want to have sex when you. It's just, it's no matter what, you will always want to have sex. And then you got the woman over here like, damn, I got to take the kids.

They got soccer practice. So one of them sick. They got to go to school. It's a book report. And y'all like, damn all that. Let's have sex. I'll never understand it. That's very important what you're saying.

Like setting and mood matters. It does. Right for women. Yeah, it really does. But saying. Like setting and mood matters. It does. Right? For women. Yeah, it really does. But y'all like to do things like you will, a woman will say, can you just give me a massage? Because her feet really hurt. Y'all start rubbing for three seconds.

And then we go up. And then you go up. It just, and you don't see nothing wrong with it. And then you mad because we mad. Because in our mind, massage means let's get into it. Yeah, let's get into it. And it's like, you know, y'all just, you want to go there. And I realize

men from two marriages, sex is like breathing to y'all. You have to have it. Y'all are pretty simple. Women don't? No, it's just not like breathing to us. When you're in your 20s and your 30s, it is like breathing. People think about sex, girls think about sex all the time. But as you,

we just age different. Other stuff starts coming in into our mind but y'all like y'all the baby could be crying and y'all still will have sex baby is over there could be suffocating and you're like he's gonna be all right this is gonna take but another minute give me 60 more seconds we'll be all right and the mother is like but i gotta get to my child and y'all like uh-uh just hold on you're 45 more seconds and so you very what gives you that feeling now then great conversation if I see things that are sexy to me is when you are like committed when you are like ambitious when you are when you are when I was talking to uh John Batiste talking about creativity, I love a man that's creative. I love a man that loves great conversation.

Because physically, I'm practical, you can't be throwing me up in the air and think my knee going to stay in place. So, like, you got to, like, I'm one of them fragile dolls that have been on the china, the shelf with the fine china. So when you take me down, like, you know, one of them dolls dolls that have been on the china, the shelf with the fine china. So when you take me down, you know when I'm down, it will break. You got to be careful of me. Jess Hilarious, she can put her legs everywhere. And then she still be talking mess. And you can just throw Jess Hilarious every which way, bang her up on the wish. So you don't want pound town?

No. No, no, no. I just heard the lyrics to that. Pussy pink booty hole brand. Oh my God, I was like, what are these girls talking about nowadays? When they're talking about your booty hole, be sexy to people. You got to have her on daytime TV. No, no, no.

Because she's going to be like, this auntie. Okay, gone old lady. When did just getting money and showing your booty hole to dudes become sexy? Me, I come from the school of let them imagine something. Don't just come and show him every day. Don't just, when did your booty become like the emphasis now? That's not fair, though, because our generation was like that. Lil' Kim and Foxy and Trina.

Yes, we had our wild side. It was like that, too. But I just feel like these girls,' Kim and Foxy and Trina. Yes, we had our wild side. It was like that too. But I just feel like these girls, we don't have anything to balance it. Because back then when you had Lil' Kim and everybody, you had Latifah going, you and I, T-Y. That's true.

You had Queen Pen. You had Lauryn Hill. I mean, you have a Rhapsody now, you know. Yeah, but I don't think you have enough. And so that's all you're getting is that, oh, I'm about to cough. Lord have mercy. This is COVID.

It is not COVID. I don't care what you say. I told you to stop riding that train. You still on that train? I'm still on the train. Exactly. I'm still on the train. You still on the train? It's because I'm getting passionate about it.

I'm still on the train. Train germs. Because I have to show, no, you just, everybody on the train, millions of people ride the train all the train. Train germs. Because I have to show, no, you just, everybody on the train, millions of people ride the train all the time. And I'm trying to show my son how to ride the train

except I keep getting lost. So I'm not showing him anything. We get lost everywhere. But he need to learn how to ride a train because he don't have the money to take an Uber. I take an Uber.

You are struggling over there. I am. No, but my shoulders aren't heaving. That's your answer. you Yeah my booty hole But what about your throat Okay Oh my god

And I have nothing Against Against Sexy red Miss red I have nothing Against miss red I just feel like

We are Cough Just cough Just cough Just cough What would you know You was on TV right now? I don't know.

That's all. Oh, my gosh. When I tell you, in my whole 30 years of business, I've never had a coughing fit. Ever, ever, ever. I must be sinning. I must be doing something wrong because Jesus never lets me. I've never had a coughing fit. And I've always prayed, please don't let me have a coughing fit on a live show.

Now we want to see it. No, don't wish that on me. Don't wish that on me. Because then Leslie Jones will not leave me alone. That's all I need is to be coughing on the air. And Leslie's going to be like, this bitch got COVID and she's giving it to everybody. Everybody. I can feel it through the TV.

That's how I feel right now. You don't have COVID. I'm going to tell everybody I got COVID tomorrow. Take a couple days off. And blame it on Sherri. I'm going to on Sherri. I'm just Sherri. Sherri gave me COVID.

I'm going Tamron and say that. Go Tamron and say that. Wow. Oh, my gosh. Don't do that to me. Wow. Oh, my gosh. Don't do.

Why would you do that to me? That's my sis, Tamron. That's Luther Tamron. Oh, my gosh. The queen. But, no, I just feel like women, young women today, they also need the other side. But I think we got too much of this side of everything is about our bodies.

And so where's the, where's the woman is singing about the other stuff, the more positive. So that's all I feel, you know, for me at this age, I'm not, I don't think that's going to work.

Me going to a man, going my booty hole my booty hole thick they're gonna be like okay i don't know what they say i don't see what the difference is between booty hole brown and booty hole thick it's the same it's nasty it's all nasty jesus i don't know how we got the booty holes i don't see what the difference is between booty hole brown and booty hole thick. It's the same. It's nasty. It's all nasty. Jesus, I don't know how we got the booty holes. I don't know how we did either.

But that's not going to work for somebody like me. Somebody like me coming and singing that kind of song, they're going to be like, if you don't go home and turn on Golden Bachelor and leave us alone. What the hell is Golden Bachelor? It's a TV show. It's a TV show. I don't know. I don't know Golden Bachelor? It's the TV show. It's the TV show. I don't know.

I don't know Golden Girls. It got the highest ratings on ABC. They have a gold. They have a bachelor who's 72 years old. No, I did not have a crush on the bachelor. But I did like the bachelor and the bachelorette. I thought it was pretty good. But they have golden.

Yes, he is 72 years old. And it is all women over like 55 vying for his attention. Highest rated show on ABC right now. It's amazing. And there was one woman came and opened up her robe. And I was like, okay, that stuff used to work when you was 20.

You can't go showing a 72 year old man. Cause it's just some stuff that ain't right. That we supposed to hide right now. I got to do the bait and switch like right now, like young, young boys be coming at me. And I'm like'm like I gotta do a little bit of bait and switch what's the bait and switch? the bait and switch is like I don't want you to know I be tweezing my chin

hairs anymore a little young boy walking the room see me tweezing my chin he gonna be traumatized oh that's gonna I don't want him to see me filing you know rubbing my bunions that's gonna that's gonna hurt him you know I don't he don't need to see me lotioning my feet like three or four times and then going to get the oil and put more lotion know he don't need to see me lotioning my feet like three or four times

and then going to get the oil and put more lotion on he don't need to see my feet absorbing all that moisturizer and it still be ashy it's like it's just stuff

that you know he don't need when you get this age you know what your conversation is with your girlfriends the medication that you taking

you ain't lying what I tell you last night I was on the phone with Duval and I'm walking into CVS. You ain't lying. What did I tell you? What did I tell you last night? You're running Charlamagne. I was on the phone with Duval, and I'm walking into CVS, and I ain't even realize it, and I'm talking.

You're like, what you doing? I said, oh, picking up my cholesterol medicine. But pick it up. Here's how you know when you at an age, when you at the doctor's office, and they go, are you on any other medication? You're like, yeah, I'm on Rose of a Satin. I'm on Valsartan.

I'm on, uh, I'm on, and you know the names of your medication you know one is for blood pressure i'm on metformin because of my diabetes you know when you used to walk in my room just want to want to traumatize the young one when they be coming up to hey mama and all you fine and all this when you walk into my bedroom my dresser used to look so pretty it had candles on it it had a kama Sutra book. It was like setting the mood. If you walk in my room now, it look like a pharmaceutical. It

look like a pharmacy sitting there. I got melatonin to help me go to sleep. I got something to help me wake up. I think I may have Pepto-Bismol sitting right there because sometimes I wake up and I'm like, ooh, what did I eat? It's just things going on.

I got hot flash medication. You're trying to make it sound cool. You be like, that statin, I'm on that statin. I'm on that statin. I got strips for this. I got my diabetes monitor I got to put on. My phone be going off because it's like blood sugar too low, blood sugar too

high. It's like, you know, so first of all, if we snuggling, you're going to wake up because this alarm going off because my diabetes is acting up. So I have to do a bait and switch. I got to. I can't let them see because I'll be telling women, stop telling these men everything when you first meet them. Sherry, do you hear yourself? Have you heard yourself the last? They know everything anyway.

Well, they know everything anyway. But here's the thing about being my age now. I don't care. That's right. That's right. Because somebody going to come in there and say, you know what? I can get past that. I can do all that.

Because here's the thing. You can get with a 22-year-old if you want to. And that's good. She brings you a freshness and a vitality. But say Frankie Beverly and Maze and see what you get. See the blank look on her face. She's going to be like, wait a minute. Who?

Frankie, who, and Maze and see what you can see the blank look on her face. She's going to be like, wait a minute. Who? Frankie, who is that? Tell her that somebody did a remix of somebody's song. And she's going to be like, wait a minute. What? That's what I can give you. You can have some good. Tell me when you say your knees hurt. My knees hurt, too.

That's right. So we got. I'll pick up my prescription for me. I can pick up your prescription for you. And I know Charlamagne. OK, you married and I respect that, but let's say you were single. I know if you get that look on your face and your face goes slack, I'm

going to run in there and get that red pill. I know that. And I know I got to give you that red pill within 10 minutes of your face going slack. You know what a 22-year-old going, she's going to be like, oh my God! Does it feel good? Does it feel good? You want me to do it some more? You want me to do it some more? Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God God. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. And you over there frigging in the arm that rolls up. And she's like, oh, my God. Hey, Daddy. Come on, Daddy. My booty hole thick. My booty hole thick. I know the signs of a stroke, Charlemagne.

I know your heart. I know to get that daggone because I know somewhere in there we got a heart monitor and an oxygen thing to put on your finger. Okay? So that's what you're not going to get from the 22-year. But you're going to get it from Sherry. Okay? I know how to call your mom and talk to her.

I know when you're going crazy. And when I say to you, I'm going to call your mama. The way I call your mama, you know to act up. That's right. To act right. That's right. Sherry Shepard, ladies and gentlemen. Season two.
