Are we hitting or do we got to struggle for it now?
Starting point is 00:00:34 Jess, what you thinking? We ain't got to struggle for it. Well then why we ain't got no radio shows that we do ourselves, sitcoms that we do ourselves, podcasts that we do ourselves, and movies that we do ourselves. Back in the old days, you know, Simply Marvelous, everybody was doing, Laurier Hay, everybody. It seemed like now something has taken the place of what we used to get. It used to be, we was the Marla Gay, we walk in, throw that joke up, hit Sherman Hemsley, and walk out. Now we don't even get that, right? I got a reason. I think, because I saw you on Club Cheche
Starting point is 00:01:05 talking about the radio portion. I think for whatever reason, radio didn't look sexy to a generation. So there wasn't a lot of people who went and pursued it. So you know, you got your Dee Dee Maguires. But Dee Dee's been around. Dee Dee's been around since the beginning. But she's a radio person.

Starting point is 00:03:39 all right, just like, all right, I'm gonna talk about what I wanna talk about, but no, a podcast, they don't really see you. We got a lot of people that shoot their podcasts, but I was just doing audio, you know, I'm gonna talk about what I wanna talk about, but no, podcasts, they don't really see you, we got a lot of people that shoot their podcasts, but I was just doing audio, you know what I'm saying, because I'm already video, visually everywhere else. So I'm like, no, I'm gonna just leave this to audio,
Starting point is 00:03:52 but the mistake I made was like, all right, they wanna hear what they hear online. No, we wanna hear something different. We can go online if we wanna hear what you talk about online, so give us advice on stuff. Jess, your storytelling is amazing, all of your experiences, you've always been an open book, Jess.

You can take it, take it. Go to sleep, go to sleep.
Starting point is 00:07:54 Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep. So back when y'all used to talk, okay, so when you saw that live, or whatever, right, that took you down. I was running up in all kind of sports. Baseball, soccer, Olympics, football you down. I was running up in all kind of sports. Baseball, soccer, Olympics, football, hockey. I was running up in all kind of sports because I'm the different girl.

Colombia, Cuba, Mexican, El Salvadorian. You know El Salvadorian is really black. Because they be trying to say who ain't coming.
Starting point is 00:08:36 And now he done picked up everybody. But you voted, you voted, you singing, you voted. But you didn't think he was going to flip the script over you. Anybody hustle hard like Donald Trump were hustling hard and did what he did. But we knew it. We knew it. So I would want to talk about everything. You do talk about everything.
Starting point is 00:08:51 You do talk about everything. That was the podcast, shea shea, justices and relationships, sex. That's right. And I love the Lord. And I think the Lord know my heart. That's right. That's why I'm back on tour, because I gotta make this money, because I wanna finance everything. I wanna finance, and I want somebody to jump in
Starting point is 00:09:09 and help elevate my stuff. Like, I got an animated vehicle, you know, but I want it to be profane. I like profane language. I like profane topics. Like, I saw you on The Daily Show. I thought your commentary was very good. And I think that with all of us working, and all of us making this money,
Starting point is 00:09:26 opening doors for all of us, then we need to get together and start making these movies. We need to start getting together making these series. And then we need to work together. So if you know how to write a book, you do a 20 book deal over at your publishing company, and you find 20 of us that got a story to tell. Because I got a story to tell.
Starting point is 00:09:43 I'm just not gonna tell it until somebody paid me to tell it. Because I got that day that somebody came out of the bag of me when I found out that I thought my friend was my friend, but I found my friend was my coworker. You want the inside of that story, you're going to have to pay me for it. And I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything. You know what I'm saying? Money talk, walk. Hey, you look good too, Sheryl.
Starting point is 00:10:02 You lost what? I'm going to get you. About 110. I was like 250. I was widling baby, Sheryl. You lost what? About 110. I was like 250. I was wilding, baby. I was wilding. You didn't notice when she was 250? But remember, we had a table.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Because we had a table. And you know, I was coming out last. And I was wilding to the table, right? You know what I'm saying? I was crossed between Biggie and Tracy Morgan. Right? So I was like, so I was like, no, for real. real for real wait a minute wait what's I hear what was y'all to show that I said I look like Lil Yachty and everybody
Starting point is 00:10:33 No, I thought about it but I never said it No, I think I said it, I thought I said it, I said it cause I said it cause I saw the pictures and I was like no because remember Lil Yachty did this thing in the video I said it. I thought I said it. I said it because I said it. Because I saw the pictures. Man, I ain't know what she was going to tell you. Because remember Lil Yachty did this thing in the video. Yes. And I said, oh, dang. And then there's a picture and somebody put them side by side. And I took it. I claimed it. If you got a good line on me, I'll take that line. But if it ain't a good line, you might get tapped. You know, you might get tapped. These little sharp knuckles.
Starting point is 00:11:03 And that I lost 110 pounds. I got a good black doctor too, Dr. Zuri Morrell. You got to check him out. He's the brother that, sometimes you need somebody in your own culture that can tell you, understand, because somebody will talk to you, and because they got a white coat on,
Starting point is 00:11:17 you be like, okay, I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, and then you find out, don't do that. So having Dr. Zuri Morrell, no diabetes, no high blood pressure, you know, moving around. But here's what we need. We need to be talking to these pharmaceutical companies. It cannot be so expensive to live healthy. And that's where the problem is. And that's what we need to use the media. And we got to get people ready. You know the other problem? The pharmaceutical companies should be calling out the food
Starting point is 00:11:40 corporations. Absolutely. Because if the food corporations are making all this food that's getting them sick, then we gotta go to the pharmaceutical companies and get health insurance that we can't afford and medicine that we can't afford. And then you put a dude in. It's like they're working hand in hand. Right, but then you put a dude in there, listen, I'm not against RFK Jr. I know the dude, I've met him and everything.
Starting point is 00:11:56 I've met his wife and everything. But when you put a dude in there going, well, vaccines do this and do this, but now that the measles is coming back, you might wanna get it. Okay, who are we listening to? I need a dude that sound like he know what he talking about,
Starting point is 00:12:09 because I can go to a dude on the corner if I wanna get possibilities, because that's how we live. If somebody say, you got fibroids, okay, drink corn water. Okay, we already living that, but you can't be in charge of nothing talking about drinking corn water. But I big ups to him talking about putting,
Starting point is 00:12:24 what's the beef tallow back in the french fries. He did it already, I think it's Shake Shack I wanna recommend. I heard Popeyes too, but listen, I'm not against it. You just can't eat it every day. So you had surgery to lose the weight? No, no. I was going to have it because that is
Starting point is 00:12:39 what was recommended. And then when I went to get the, I did the psychological test, cause you gotta go through a lot of testing before you get to surgery. And then I went to get the, I was getting my colonoscopy. So I said, well, you might as well do the endoscopy because the equipment goes down your throat. Like, okay, nevermind. I'm about to go in a whole another tangent. But when I went to do that, my colorectal doctor, Dr. Zuri Morrell, brother of a C. D. Sinai More house man said, why are you doing this?
Starting point is 00:13:06 And so he started to read my record and he said, try this first. So then he put me on sex sender first. And then I went to we go V and everything changed and we monitor all of my vitals and my blood work and everything. And that's what you got to do. But this can be done. The other thing that can be done. We need to be buying up property that people don't want and changing neighborhoods and putting healthy stuff next to stuff we love. And then we need to put small clinics in every neighborhood. You don't have to go to the hospital far away just to come down and get your blood pressure checked.
Starting point is 00:13:42 You need to be able to walk. In the old days, we used to walk places. We need to bring that back. We who have money, access, and power need to use that money, access, and power because now they'll give us something, somebody else will start using it, and then they'll take it away. You ain't hurting me.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Hustle hard. It's funny that you said that. We were talking earlier that we try that, but all the vegan spots have been closing. People haven't been going to the vegan spots. They haven't been going to the healthy spots no more, so all the vegan spots have been closing. People haven't been going to the vegan spots. They haven't been going to the healthy spots no more, so all the healthy spots have been closing. But I don't know if them healthy spots
Starting point is 00:14:09 is in the hood though. And I would say this, it's not to, everybody don't like to hear I'm gonna be a vegan, because then it sounds like what I don't get to eat. Like I live for a good fried pork chop, but I can't metabolize it every day like I used to right when I was younger So when you say being vegan that's eating an apple that's eating fruit. That's getting your natural fiber, right? But once you hook me on something processed and my body now wants that I think there's it's okay to have
Starting point is 00:14:40 Everything that's out here. That's right. That's right. But if we don't walk around if we ride everywhere I live in California. We ride everywhere. Where do we use this? We don't want to just use this to entertain We want to enlighten empower and elevate and that's what we Need to be doing. So if I was to ever do a podcast or type of show I want to be able to talk to everybody. And I wanna move product. You know why? Integration is the key. You want to stay on the air,
Starting point is 00:15:10 you must be making the corporation money from everybody. And that's what I want us to be about. So we will have the money. I'm working with a team of promoters to make sure my tickets sell. Why? Because the clubs and some places don't promote. Yeah. They think you're supposed to do it on social media. Yep. What do you
Starting point is 00:15:30 think about that? I actually, well, it's an upside and a downside to it. Thank God I am. My platform is big enough and I do have, you know, now, you know, the Breakfast Club where I can push take my tickets, my reaches even further. Yes, and thank God for my platform that I can sell my tickets Right on my own with a couple posts because if not damn like well, how you booking me, but you don't want to promote me That's right. That's right. There you want me to do your job, right? Then are you gonna compensate me for that when Kevin Hart had? His promotion game his social media game before he was that Kevin this Kevin Martin He was that Kevin, this Kevin Hart,
Starting point is 00:16:05 he was that Kevin Hart. And then those emails came out that they wanted to access it but they didn't want to compensate him for what he built. He used to put that newslet out. He used to have his man walk around the comedy club, Wayne, and get everybody's email and he would send a newslet out. That's right, and we gotta go back to that.
Starting point is 00:16:21 But my feeling is everybody's audience is not a social media audience. My audience old school. They don't believe that Jesus is coming back until they hear the Breakfast Club say where Jesus is going to be. They on Facebook though? Facebook sorta. But you know what, they were on Facebook but everything with everything updating it's hard
Starting point is 00:16:38 to keep up with how some of that stuff works now. So no, and that's when I realized when I got this job, I'm like, well, that's a total different, right? I'm starting to see more and more and more older, more established people. That's right. You know, in their careers coming to the show. And when I go in it, when I'm on stage and I'm talking about what's going on on social media, it's funny, but I can tell that they don't they don't they don't make that. So this is a new lab. That's right. But that's the that's the difference. I got the fan base here. That's right. Okay, cool. But that's the difference. I got the fan base here. Yes, right.
Starting point is 00:17:08 With my older folk more established, and then I got the fan base on social media. And when you merge them together, now you have power. Yes. And for me, this is still in my car. This is still in my house. Everybody pronounced the death of Terrestrial Radio, and it's still alive. And it's going to stay alive. Big business.
Starting point is 00:17:23 That's right. So we have to be involved in it. And we need to talk to politicians. Democrats want to take it back in the midterm, then you got to put that money on radio and especially black radio. Why? Because the Republicans did just enough to get our attention.
Starting point is 00:17:36 Now, everybody talking about, oh, the black men that voted Republican. No, that's not true. She still got a large amount of the black male vote. What they did was they got enough for the distraction hustle to work and we have to tell people Advertisers have to advertise on this show. Why if it don't make money, it don't make sense Republicans that Trump advertised on breakfast club. He has eyes on our YouTube shoot He took me an interview and put us in a commercial. Okay, okay now
Starting point is 00:18:02 Let me ask you a question What did you did you get any blowback? Because now people are mad. You got to dance with the dude that's in now. You know what I'm saying? So everybody mad. But the only thing I'm mad about is I've been a black Republican for a long time.
Starting point is 00:18:15 I'm an old school black Republican. But I don't know if I want to. Did you vote for Trump? Man, listen. No, but I know a lot of stuff. I mean, I've been going to conventions for a long time. I've been dealing in the Republican Party. What about 2016?
Starting point is 00:18:27 You voted for 2016? No, I campaigned. I'll walk it back for you. I campaigned for Senator Obama to become President Obama, President Obama to stay President Obama. I campaigned for Hillary Clinton. I was at the DNC. I wanted a common-law campaign for her.
Starting point is 00:18:42 But here's the problem. If these entities don't listen, they think we ain't got to Put no money down here in this community. We got them in the back. You don't have us in the bag You must put the money down here. You must put the boots on the ground So every civil rights organization every Greek letter organization everybody get back into the community If you are not touching the community, we will not win this. And now they gotta decide, is it gonna be Gavin Newsom in the West with Shapiro in the East and come together?
Starting point is 00:19:09 Because I understand why. I like Shapiro, I'm not a Gavin guy. I like Shapiro though. Okay, tell me what, I love Shapiro, because Shapiro to me, I love Shapiro. But I look at people. He's Obama to me. He's Obama.
Starting point is 00:19:20 I call him Baruch Obama. But you know, Baruch. That's what I feel like, if you're gonna make a decision. I think the coach was a good dude, right? I think he was a good dude. Not me. Okay, tell me what you think. I didn't like Coach Walz.
Starting point is 00:19:32 I don't think he added nothing to that ticket in no way, say before. I actually thought she should have went with Shapiro, but I think she was afraid of the blowback from the whole Palestine Israel crowd at the time. Listen, man, would you like the coach? I like the coach, also we got a chance to interview his wife. I think they're good people.
Starting point is 00:19:49 Good people. I think they're good people. But because I don't know why they made that decision. I've heard some things, but also you can't be afraid of, and I'm just speaking generally, it's nothing that I heard, but I'm reading the books that's coming out and the books is juice. Political juice is ignorant, right? But if you're afraid that somebody's gonna
Starting point is 00:20:08 run for president that is why you be the vice president so you can run for president and you got to get it together to run and you need to hit them battleground states but if you notice something strange like a lot of people believe that Elon Musk you know did something you know for dangled I was gonna say a word with rigged on that part of it, but I'm trying to keep it casual with y'all. If we was drinking, I would have said it. But they say he did something, right?
Starting point is 00:20:31 Yes. But you- Rigged the election. That's right. But if you, even if you do that, you still cannot defeat the will of the people. What is it, last weekend, everybody was out marching. Then the dude from, what is it, JP Morgan, say, out marching. Then the dude from, what is it, JPMorgan, say it looked like we're going into a recession.
Starting point is 00:20:48 Now they coming back to where they need to be. What is the point of all of this? If people start speaking up, we can get this right, right? You gotta get yours where you can get yours. Now, if I say, you like my outfit, Jess? You like my outfit? Now I gotta say Amazon before the boycott, right? But a lot of small businesses about to get hit
Starting point is 00:21:07 because you was getting all your stuff from overseas. What is my point to this? We have got to start talking about with racial issues, with financial issues, with character issues. So back to how did we lose? We're in those battleground states. People should have come together and told the truth. We ain't got the boots on the ground for you,
Starting point is 00:21:29 or you don't feel like Obama. It's something, and Obama got a right to say what he wants to say, and you can't get mad that this brother is trying to tell you something, right? You can be against it, but what happened to us sticking together? Let something happen to one of y'all. We riding.
Starting point is 00:21:47 What time are we marching and where are we coming from? But if we are separated and we get a little bit of temporary money, but they got full power, everything, every branch of government, but they played a long game. They put people on the Supreme Court. Now you don't have no place to go. Now they're telling law firms, if you do anything I don't like, we gonna take the money. Now they telling colleges, if you do anything,
Starting point is 00:22:10 we're like, so what we gonna do? Okay, everybody go to HBCUs. Now, you ain't got to do nothing for us. Basically what you saying is we all gotta get back to community, because that's all we really got at this point. Absolutely, we will feed our own children. We will educate our own children. We will talk about our history and make sure that it's out there.
Starting point is 00:22:25 If you got to stand on Times Square on a crate like they used to do, we will educate the people because once you give it, you can take it away. And then when you get your ass in a sling, you want to do a distraction where you taking Harriet Tubman down from somewhere. Then we all run over here mad while they doing what they really wanna do over here. Don't fall for it, right? And then we got to be careful that companies that are making decisions for their financial bottom line,
Starting point is 00:22:55 let's go and talk to these companies, go, for real, that's what you think? Because at 12 midnight, we got a ride on you and give them a shot at going, well, I don't know. Well, we warned you and now we gonna gonna ride and then we really gotta not do it because I miss mcdonnell's I miss him. I miss that fish for life I do I miss the fish for like burger king. I miss you I wouldn't get down with the impossible burger
Starting point is 00:23:18 You making something Why did the talk get cancelled? You want my personal opinion? I don't know cuz you know that's about my pay grade I'm asking you right you want my opinion. Yes. Yes. Well, I I think We had the dream team five the dream team five was Julie Chan Moonves, Aisha Tyler Sharon Osborne and and Sarah Gilbert created the show brought us the CBS and then here I come That's the dream team five Eve came just as good. You know, so to me, once you get away from your dream team combination,
Starting point is 00:23:52 do people really care? And are we really talking about something? You don't have to argue politics. I think the view does an amazing job with what they do, right? But we can't be that some people don don't wanna pick a side, right? Sometimes you don't wanna argue out of time. But also I think we gotta understand it is no longer visionary in entertainment. It is now corporation in entertainment.
Starting point is 00:24:15 If you are not cost efficient, you will not stay on. And if you're not generating revenue, you will not stay on. And I think once we lost the components that made us great, then we had to understand that it ain't your season no more. And beyond the gates, I believe it was something that I was told, from other sources, Christoph St. John, when he was alive, he was trying to put this together years ago. It's been in development for years. It's their time.
Starting point is 00:24:45 It's their opportunity. People should support it. People should watch it and keep it on the air because at the end of the day, we all need the jobs. Now, would I like to do another talk show? Absolutely. Absolutely. I've found that I have the skill and I like doing it, but I'd like to do something a little bit different where I can talk about everything with everybody. You know? And I just got a couple of questions, you know? So, earlier you joked right on by Sharon Osbourne, and I clocked it, but I'm going to bring it on back. Real talk. That's why I told you. When I walked in, what I say?
Starting point is 00:25:16 What's up with you? Did she ask me anything? Didn't I tell you? Because you can ask me anything is how I answer. Okay. Okay, wait a minute. So are y'all good? No. All right.
Starting point is 00:25:25 That's a bitch now. That's right, we are sorry. But really, I'm telling you to hold it up for me. That bitch don't ask that. Hold it up for me, gonna be some ass on shit like, I mean, I'm sorry. Okay. No, you good, you good.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Okay, well, where y'all at now? How is y'all relationship now? How is it? Listen, I wasn't mad. I'll tell y'all, because anybody ask me, I'll tell y'all. And I trust y'all. Remember when they were- You know we're talking to millions of people,
Starting point is 00:25:50 ain't just us. Let's want you to know. This family, there's millions of people. Come get the Mix and Mixer tour tickets. Hit me up on Instagram, y'all know where I'm going. I'm being an actor this week in New Brunswick. That's right, New Brunswick, New Jersey. I need stuff, but I need stuff like everything.
Starting point is 00:26:02 Tacoma, Washington, gotta sell that out. Tacoma Comedy Club, Tommy T's in California, Looney Bend in Arkansas, Baltimore Comedy Factory in Maryland, and Forty-Bone in Connecticut. I've been to Detroit at least three times. I need to sell everything to finance everything. But back to your question. So remember, they was, Pierce and Sherm,
Starting point is 00:26:18 they was talking about Meghan Markle. And I pulled them to the side when he came on the show. I said, you cannot mess with her, why Why her mama and them is Windsor Hills? She fell in love with a dude and now she living in Windsor Palace. You can't talk about her We have to ride on you don't do this, right? You can state your point but you ain't riding on her like that Well, they were he was riding then there was a co-sign. The co-sign caught black Twitter, black social media, undefeated to this day, right? So they was dragging. And
Starting point is 00:26:53 a lot of people don't like that heat, right? When I got in trouble, I had to go to the black community. I'm sorry, I was wrong. But then I found out I got caught up in something that I think God was telling me something bigger is coming You better prepare yourself for what's coming So on that day in that time period being dragged then you want to come back in and say I got something I want to say well There was discussion about we're gonna ask you some questions back when people go right right cool cool Ask me anything and then when they get heated and then you want to
Starting point is 00:27:25 jump funky on somebody. Well, this day, I believe that God said, did I not tell you servant that something is coming? Sit down. Why? Because if I had come out of a bag on her, if I had been the Sheryl Underwood from the past that you know me, who the you talking? My last name is what? I would have been a reflection on you. So just don't get the opportunity because black females don't know how to control themselves. But sometimes you gotta check a motherfucker. But you gotta know how and when to check somebody. And on that day, the blessing from God
Starting point is 00:28:02 was for me to sit there and when somebody say, what are we gonna do Sheryl? Because remember I was moderating, which is the leadership position. I liked being the anchor, right? Julie Chen Moonvest was the moderator. I liked being the anchor, right? She teed up for me.
Starting point is 00:28:16 I take it down and we go to break. I slam dunk it and we go to break. If I ain't got none, I, well, nah. If I give her the signal, I ain't got nothing. That's a relationship Yeah, but if somebody's jumping on you sometime you got to let them flame out. I love her I love every woman and man that I've worked with But when something like that happened, I think the blessing from God was look how Cheryl has matured
Starting point is 00:28:42 Look what Cheryl did not do on CBS when a black man is running it Right. We've got to understand we represent each other Yeah, I could have lit her up and for that moment everybody would have been happy until they're not right So I think I did what I should have done which was sit there and let you keep talking Let you keep talking now was I hurt come on just you know me and let you keep talking let you keep talking now was I hurt come on just you know me who the you talking to i want to go to break i did do you who you talking to but then i was like shut it up shirl shut it up go home make a vodka tonic ask god to take this heat off your back then she apologized but then she went on stage stage steel show and said she regretted apologizing and
Starting point is 00:29:21 actually said fuck you fuck you yeah Absolutely and see to me I would say this everybody wants to know my feeling. I want to know what was your reaction to one minute you apologize and next minute you not. One minute you fuzz and next minute you not. One minute you making little comments about somebody in leadership but you not. Or people are coming out with their information that they've witnessed. So wait a minute, Sheryl might not be the villain. Or when, see what happens is, when you get power, even power on the level that we got it,
Starting point is 00:29:58 now you become a threat, right? But we don't wanna wield our power when you can't work. We need you to survive. So when people look back and go, Sheryl, do you regret it? No, no. Who would have thought Sheryl Underwood from Defcom.net, BET, Comic Review would be on the number one network, the red state, the square business network that do all the police procedurals would be on a talk show.
Starting point is 00:30:22 That's why sometimes you got to know to play your position. Right? And I think what I did that day was to represent black women who are going through this each and every day. So you ain't think about putting on a silk scarf, going on Instagram Live, and just airing everybody out on the talk. Like somebody else up here?
Starting point is 00:30:41 Well, listen. Okay, go. You go. No, I ain't, it ain't even. Well, listen, okay go you go Come on come we here together we here together Talk to me. I think that you did what you felt was right for you and the voice and the platform that you felt was Right for you, right? But if you learn so anything from me, they want you to be heated They want you to get mad. They want you to get mad. They want you to attack your ally. Right? But why can't I pull you to the side and go, can I say this?
Starting point is 00:31:13 Okay, bitch, what the fuck's going on? You in this? Right? What you trying to do? How can we help each other? But for me, I just want to live a better life. I just want the opportunities. I'm already walking in with my fist balled up because I'm a black female comedian and everybody want to say this is not fair. Of course it's not fair. You should be doing theaters alone. You should be doing stadiums alone. You should be doing movies. All of us, Tiffany Haddish, Monique, all of us should be working together and doing movies together. But the industry don't see the black woman as valuable yet. Am I right? Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:31:52 But you shouldn't have to walk into a building with your fist palm, right? We should all be walking with our fist palm to make sure that we protect you. Yeah, but my fist is balled up because of an alleged slight. And that's the same thing in relationships a bra might bring in everything that the last dude did but here come pretty Charlamagne which I was trying to get you back a long time ago when you was a radio sidekick I was gonna get you I was gonna drink that I see you in the bathroom I see you in the bathroom I'm confused with your the bathroom. I'm confused with your title. It was Shade Shade and Charlamagne.
Starting point is 00:32:27 I said everything God has made on the buffet of love. You know guys, listen, come on butterscotch. What you doing? You know all women like butterscotch. Come on baby DeMars. Little Worthers. That's right. Damn. That's right. That's right. Come on.
Starting point is 00:32:43 She said your name as in her phone. Worthers. That's right, that's right, come on. She said your name as in her phone, words. That's right, that's right. But my fist was balled up because there were things like not being able to get on certain TV shows, being blocked by who you think should be your ally, or... So you have other women blocking you? Yeah, and I have a strident personality as well. I walk in a boss. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:05 Because when you're a female comic, you are the boss. You are everything. So I walk in, Cheryl, can you do it? No, I cannot. Read this right here. Just like when I did, what was the movie that Lisa Ray, Jamie Foxx, Players Club? Yeah. OK, so they called me because in my past,
Starting point is 00:33:21 I was doing a little sexual interpretive dance on the side. You want to be the stripper, Cheryl? No, the part that Adele took. You know I'm too short to be diving. That wouldn't have been a good movie at all. Y'all would have walked out on the bootleg. Who was your stripper name? I didn't have no stripper name. This is what it was. You know I'm from Chicago, right? You know Cheryl's scribbling. Right. That is. But you know I grew up in Chicago, so I was going to UIC. They had an ad in the paper where you was going, it was a lot of ad in the paper.
Starting point is 00:33:53 That's right. That's right. Damn. And it was lingerie modeling. It was lingerie modeling and it was where you come out with the lingerie. It was in a tavern, Family Den lingerie was in a tavern family den it was in a tavern on stony island and you come out with the lingerie on. Yeah, nah but I know it's old.
Starting point is 00:34:11 Yeah, for real. It's a tavern in there right and I'm not a great hill walker so I came out and everything I got it on. Damn you had everything against you. Everything, everything was against me. Everything. And God let you know what you, that's right with the the gun smoke, listen, Festus, James Arness, listen to me, you better come out, rifle man,
Starting point is 00:34:31 Chep Connor, be foe roots when we start hating him. Oh, Lord. God. Man, listen. James. So I'm in the thing trying to get the money, right? Because I'm trying to go to college, right? So I come out, but God let you know what you ain't supposed to do, right? So I come out, and I know I'm not the thing trying to get the money, right? Because I'm trying to go to college, right? So I come out, but God let you know
Starting point is 00:34:45 what you ain't supposed to do, right? So I come out and I know I'm not good at this, but them other girls, they doing it. They stripping because they buy the lingerie and then you're supposed to strip it off, right? But I'm not good, I'm garbage at this, right? So I start telling jokes and acting crazy and falling out the shoes.
Starting point is 00:34:59 Oh wow. On stage? No, you have to walk around the tavern and take it with a buyer, the dude a buyer. So them hood dudes, you know hood dudes like, oh, you crazy, you crazy, you need to walk around the tavern and the tavern to buy it. So them hood dudes, you know hood dudes like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, you crazy, you crazy, you need to go home, you need to go home, you not, that's right. So they start paying me for that. And that's how they were like, listen, you funny and you smart.
Starting point is 00:35:18 And then that's when I started having an affinity for the street dude. And I talked for the street dude, I hang out with the street dudes, you know. And street dudes have backed me up in life. So, like you say, I didn't have to fight for myself because the street dude was always willing to step up. What's my point to this? I like doing nightclub comedy because my voice is relaxed, but I like to sprinkle a little politics
Starting point is 00:35:38 and a little spirituality. But it's 95% sexuality. Got Kyle Irby and Mike Washington on the show so we can have some fellas on the show Do I want to grow to doing casinos and theaters? I want to put shows together. It's a house party inside a comedy club I would love for us to work together You know, I'm the host and a headline but we've got to find a way to make our own content With these fellas and and we have the platform to do it
Starting point is 00:36:05 Yeah, and trust me. Yo, it is not dog is we sitting around waiting for nobody. That's right no more That's the best thing about today's times like I've been saying, you know how like back I think you know, you had the Harlem nights, right? Yeah, I feel like it could be something like that now not even what I got The script is it okay? I got the script when I went through what I went through hearing what I heard on the call. Remember I talked about the certain members of the Queens of Comedy dialing in on the call. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:34 And I really wanted to thank them. People criticized me. Why would you say that on CBS? Because you didn't hear the part where I said, thank you. Thank you for letting me see what I needed to work on in me. Right? So I wrote a story I wrote about three to five pages. I had a script commission and I said, I want to do this with all of us. Everything I produce through my company has comics in it because nobody's putting us to
Starting point is 00:36:57 work. We have to hope that somebody fall out of a job to get a job. And I want to be able to make a movie in six weeks. Let's do it like they did in the 70s. Let's make these movies. Let's put them out there. Let's use the platform to promote. And let's pay our mortgages. Let's feed our families.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Let's get our retirement together while we buy property, while we change people's lives and put kids through school. And if you don't want to go to school, let's give you a trade. Let's put you in music. Let's get you in art. Let's do everything that was done for us. But we fund it. If you are wearing $250,000 around your neck but
Starting point is 00:37:32 you have not given any money to an HBCU, don't come to me when you in trouble. Because once they get ready to use what they watched you do, because they'll watch you do something and they'll let you keep doing it where you think you golden until they need you to be dismissed. There you go, there you go. So for me, and I'm gonna get off my soap box because I'm trying to sell these tickets,
Starting point is 00:37:55 I wanna produce content. I'm not an actor. And people say, well you did Beauty Shop, that was a blessing. That was a blessing of something that I could do. And Sherri Shepherd helped me understand Making a movie and Queen Latifah allowed me to add live all of that monkey bread Yeah, she allowed me to add that none of that was in the script. But what do I want to do now?
Starting point is 00:38:14 I want to make content. I want to be the person to go. Okay, Jess. I love your idea But you didn't even read it all I don't have to read it all I know you talented I'm gonna give you a shot your dream does not die for my dream to live. Walk down to Business Affairs. There's a white dude down there, puts paperwork on you, and let's get to work. We get to work Monday. That's what I want.
Starting point is 00:38:31 I'm already selling out casinos and theaters and all that. The only thing left for me is the stadiums. And so let's produce this content so I can get there to do that. Absolutely. So we can do that. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:38:41 We need to be doing reality shows. Why are we not doing reality shows with female comedians in it? And I love the fact that some female comedians, I don't mess with Shreyl Underwood. Well, first of all, I ain't did nothing to you because I'm gonna tell you what your show did. There was about to be some lawsuits flying
Starting point is 00:38:57 and people came on your show on the benefit club and told the truth about it. The truth is the ultimate defense. What happened? Oh, you better go back and look at your footage because I ain't trying to bring nothing back. There's always a breakfast little interview that got some going on.
Starting point is 00:39:09 You better go back and look at your footage when somebody said. Was this when I was here? Was this pre-Jet? No, you wasn't here. This was pre-Jet. This was way back in the day. So now I want to hear it.
Starting point is 00:39:17 What was it you said? Because if I was here, I'd look it up. You don't mess with me. And my thing is, I don't care if you don't mess with me. I'm going to walk up to you in love because one day I got to face the master and I want him to say, serving well done. Why? Because somebody said they didn't mess with you. I'm not going to be no sucker. I'm not going to be no gump. You know what I'm saying? But I will walk up to you. How you doing? You know, why don't we work together? You know, why don't we do something? Or I got an idea. I've been in auditions where I
Starting point is 00:39:41 didn't know you weren't supposed to do this. I've been in auditions where they were like, well sure read these sides. Well, first of all before I read anything, I'm really not good for this part But you know who is good for this part my enemy is perfect for this I would name the person and I would go go get that person or I'll give up a phone number You don't really want me to do this. Y'all here call this person right now. Don't tell them it's me cuz they gonna turn it down Go get this person and get this money not cuz I'm trying to be noble It because I just feel like I'm trying to right every wrong that I've done spiritually and if you don't mess with me Let's sit down and squash it or let's get paid to squash it. Yeah, good reality. Am I right? You saying a lot of good stuff, but I Google Cheryl under with wearing lingerie and ain't nothing come up
Starting point is 00:40:38 Now I got one in a leotard I'm looking at that is it the leopard leotard No, this is you I'll send you I'll send you the leopard leotard? No, this is yours from underwear. I seen you in the leopard leotard. And then I had some, I did some AIDS, anti-AIDS posters. Matter of fact, I took those that did that photo shoot. Oh no, no, no, no, they were sexy, they were sexy. What is that? Cause I was trying to push condoms,
Starting point is 00:40:59 because I was trying to push condoms. I was trying to push condoms in a sexy way, because my act is super sexual, you know me. I got one good move, I got one good move. Now if you trying to make church on time, don't stop me. I don't like the anti-acid, I think you're a beautiful woman, Cheryl. Anti-AIDS, I'm thinking like-
Starting point is 00:41:16 Oh no, it was sexy. You put somebody under that mist, you don't wanna have sex. It was safe sex. I was saying it was safe sex. We were trying to put safe sex, and matter of fact, my father was alive, and my father was like, so this what you trying to do? He called me his son, because I'm his first born. He said, this what you trying to put safe sex and matter of fact my father was alive and my father was like so this what you're trying to do?
Starting point is 00:41:26 He called me his son because I'm his first born. He said this what you're trying to do? And I was, no my father old school like a mug. My father old school like a mug. He's a party outie. And my dad would say you know what, you know what don't let nobody let nobody tell you not pretty why cuz you look just like your dad I was like, I don't know if that's a good thing But really who I'm doing on stage is my father and my oldest brother
Starting point is 00:41:54 My father funny. Oh my father say wow stuff like I don't know. Can I say the word you gonna beep him out? Gail King just said okay Gail turned into a goon. She's 70, she ain't got no care in the world. But listen, we want to be making that Gail King money. I don't know if I want to go in space. No, she boys, she got too much money. But would you do it if they said? No, I want to go in space, you know, I'm cool. No, she boys, she got too much money. Right, that's what I'm doing.
Starting point is 00:42:25 But would you do it if they said? No, I wouldn't go in space. I think space is for space and Earth is for Earth. I'm good. I think I'd be good. Yeah, because I don't do nothing. I'm doing the Tom Jones Fantastic Voyage Cruise. Me and my doctor trying to go on there.
Starting point is 00:42:39 Well, I'm doing that because we're going to talk about relationships and everything. And my doctor's going to come on on and I want people to ask questions. I would love for somebody to do segments where we really talk about healthcare. We really talk about the new things that are out there because everybody eating healthy and walking is not going to do it. If you've been tearing up your body for years, you need medical care and we need to be making these pharmaceutical companies and make it more reasonable for us
Starting point is 00:43:05 But yeah, I'm going on there But I love what the foundation is doing for HBC use because I have my own foundation pack wrap foundation for education And I have a sports initiative for young boys. So I'm going back through my Rolodex of everybody I was kicking it went go well now that you married give me some money for my We just found this. Samoa says Sheryl Underwood has ulterior motives. I don't rock with her like that. I'm not phony.
Starting point is 00:43:31 I saw that. Now, but she did admit that there was a phone call. She admitted that there was a phone call. I remember Adele said she wanted to sue y'all for something. OK, now how much she put two and two together, you ain't gonna get five, you see what I'm saying? And I wasn't mad about that, because you can go viral for a negative thing
Starting point is 00:43:53 or a positive thing, right? And so when it was coming out and everybody, I'ma sue, I'ma sue, I'ma sue, truth is the ultimate defense. And I said based on my recollection, I'm not against you. I would love for me and Samora and Adele and Monique and Jess and all of us and Tiffany, all of us work together and make a movie.
Starting point is 00:44:10 I would love for us to make a slow proper. I would love. You know how bad their stomachs would be hurting if they have a movie with all us in it like that? Yeah, we fighting. We doing everything. The script I got, we fighting. We doing everything, making little everything.
Starting point is 00:44:22 We doing what the dudes doing in their movies. But if we can get the financing, that's the key because people think they're gonna lose money Why a woman will pay to see a male comic with her man? Sometimes men don't want to come because they think it's gonna be an hour and a half of bashing, right? Yeah, we don't tap you a little bit. But my show is created for the male Audience where the females will learn because I'm sitting with your dude I thought we would have saw more that after girls trip girls trip did over 100 million dollars, right? You know, why do you think it didn't happen? I
Starting point is 00:44:55 Really don't know. Well, I don't I really don't know I thought I thought that that would make sense for people to start doing more of that just because they duplicate And I would say as a business person, sometimes, I'm not saying take less money because you think you less than, but I'm saying sometimes your cost, and I look at it like this, so I want people to call in criticize me just like when I was on club straight, saying people criticize me for things. You got a right to say what you feel as long as you stay listening, time spent listening, that's what I need you to do. But here's the
Starting point is 00:45:22 catch, if you're not making any money, so then you get a shot or a job offer, and then you ask for your catch up money, you trying to catch up to all the money you didn't make, then you close the door on them hiring us, because your price is too high. You see what I'm saying? Sometimes you got to be cost effective,
Starting point is 00:45:42 not cost prohibitive. When I go for a job now, people say, well, do you think you're going to make the same money you're making at CBS? Absolutely not. I got blessed. Somebody saw me on CBS, and I think they saw me on The View doing political humor, right? Then I got a call. Nowhere do you hear somebody gets a phone call, avoids the phone call.
Starting point is 00:46:02 Steve Harvey goes, bitch, call him back, because me and Steve would chop it up like that. We've been friends for years, right? So I call back, I go to a meeting and in 72 hours you have a job that you keep from season two to season 15. That's God. And that's also being ready for the opportunity. And then I can show that if I can do it, Jess can do it. If I can do it, Tiffany can do it. If I can do it, Monique should be able to be on the show. Lonnie Love. Where's Lonnie Love with all of that experience, right? Sherri Shepherd, we gotta help Sherri
Starting point is 00:46:31 keep that show on the air. Jennifer Hudson, everybody. Because the industry is not like it used to be. And that's partially the dismantling of urban radio. Why?
