Aw yeah, cats and kittens, welcome back to The Commercial Break. I'm Brian Green, this is my Riz De Man Razz, Kristen Joy Hoadley, best to you, Chrissy. Best to you, Brian. Best to you out there in the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is my Riz de Mon Raz, Kristen Joy Hodley. Best to you, Kristen. Best to you, Brian. Best to you out there in the podcast universe. Thanks for joining us.

We really appreciate it. TCB Infomercial today with Ms. Dulce Sloan. Of course, you would know her from The Daily Show. She was named one of Variety's prestigious Variety top 10 up and coming comics list. She's on the Great North, that Fox animated comedy show of which I've watched a couple episodes and I thought it was very funny.

Yes, she has a book out there. I always get the names of books right, so I'm gonna look at it. Hello Friends with Dulce Sloan. She's got numerous videos and sets out there online. She's really a very funny human being and she's making waves. She's on tour through the rest of the year. DulceSloan.com is where you can get that information, get those tickets, links to those tickets because I understand from her agency

that each show may have different ways of buying the tickets. Like you can't buy them all at Ticket Master or something like that. So go direct to her site. Dulcetsworn.com. She's an Atlanta girl too. She is an Atlanta girl. She's an Atlanta girl and we're so happy to have her. Actually, one of my favorite things that I saw Dolce do was she had this conversation with, I think it was someone here in Atlanta who owned a barbershop or something like that.

And I might be mistaken about this, but they were sitting and they were talking about the culture in Atlanta. Like how the culture in Atlanta is just, it's a different vibe than some other place, some other big cities across the country. And we've talked about this before. Also, we've said that we grew up

in an extraordinarily diverse city. And the city itself is mainly African-American and we have African-American mayors as long as I've been here, and they have shaped our city in so many different ways. And Dulce was sharing with this man about how it was just a different environment growing up. And when she goes to different cities, she can see that,

she can feel it, she can taste it, she can hear it. And I like that. So hopefully we get the chance to talk to her about that. But if we don't, just know that we heard you and we love you. That's right. So I actually don't want to waste a lot of time today because we have a good chunk with Dulce. So let's not delay.

Why don't we do this? Not delay for Dulce? Let's not delay. Let's not delay for Dulce. I wonder when this comes out if we have a new presidential candidate. That's what I'm wondering. We're all sitting here waiting on bated breath to see. So when this airs on Tuesday, I wonder, I wonder.

And that's all that anybody can talk about right now, Chrissy, it seems like. That and I've started to hear about Charles, King Charles and his fingers. What? Is something wrong with his fingers? I don't know. He's got weird fingers, apparently.

He's got weird fingers. Why do people fixate on things people cannot control? Like fingers. You can't control those. Remember when Megan Fox, everyone was saying she had thumbs for fingers? Oh, yeah. It's so fucking weird. Why do you guys care about who,

what someone's fingers look like? I mean, to be fair, there was a time when Trump was, we were talking about Trump's small hands and I found a couple of those memes funny. Sorry, I did. I found a couple of those memes funny. But anyway, let's, why don't we take a break and then as soon as we get back,

we will have Dulce here with us. What do you think about that? I think that sounds good. All right, let's do that. Let's not delay today. Let's get right on Dulce Sloan. We'll be back after these messages, after these messages. We'll be right back.

Thank you very much for joining us this morning. Hello. Hola. How are you doing? Bien, ¿cómo estás? Bien, ¿cómo estás? And Dulce is here now with us. Hi Dulce, thank you very much for joining us this morning. Hola! How you doing? Bienvenido! Bienvenido! Todos los días! Sabado Domingo!

Where did you learn the Spanish? I learned Spanish. I started learning Spanish when my family moved back to Miami. So me and my mom were born in Miami in the same hospital. And I think a room above the other one. And that's a great, my mother says she doesn't remember which who was who was below above or below, but that's the where we were. Um, so basically, we moved back to Miami, I was nine years old. And so I started taking Spanish every day in school from fourth grade to about a fourth half in fourth grade to half a sixth grade and I picked it up super quickly and Then so by the time we moved back to Atlanta For like the second semester of sixth grade

I'd already had like a working understanding of it and then I didn't take another Spanish class until 10th grade, but I'd already had like a working understanding of it, and then I didn't take another Spanish class until 10th grade. But I was already kind of fluent, I guess. And then I took it through high school, and then I took it in college. So by the time I got to college, I tested out of like Spanish 101. And then I think I missed testing out of Spanish 102 by like three questions. And then all our neighbors in North Cross, it was three questions. I was like, you didn't have to tell me that. Because that was annoying too. I was like, wait a minute. But like growing up in Norcross, because we were on like the singles and road side

of Norcross. So I used to help my, and then we lived in a predominantly like first generation Mexican neighborhood, Mexican and Salvadorian. And so I would help my neighbors register their kids for school. One of them, I helped her get her health insurance from her job. Her husband had a DUI, I'd explain that. Yeah. So this was like... And I had my Spanish dictionary and she was like, you don't know these words in Spanish?

I said, girl, this is barely English. No, this is legalese. This is a different monster we're dealing with right here. And so by the time I graduated from college, I would work doing bilingual customer service. So I worked up until I started doing stand-up full-time, doing bilingual, my last day job, I was selling stucco in English and Spanish. You were selling stucco, like the wall, the shit that goes on the wall outside of someone's house?

Wow, in Spanish and in English. Mm-hmm. So, but I had worked at a power company, I'd worked at a trash company, I worked at a payroll deduction company. I worked at a used car lot, I used to manage an auto body shop. Wow.

Jeez. We had a lot of jobs before I started doing stand up full time. And then now as a comic, I have a lot of different jobs because it's like- You have a lot of different things that you do. You're an entrepreneur. So in addition to the lip gloss company, I also do stand up.

I'm also the voice of a cartoon. I'm also on the Daily Show. I also Just shot a movie. Um So let's dig into that a little bit. Tell me about the movie if you can I don't know if you can share yet But tell me about the movie that you got just got done filming because we follow you on Instagram And so I I saw that you you put in a nice little post about wrapping the movie What's the movie all about? It's a group of people who are trying to save the Austin municipal golf course. So we shot,

it was 19 days of shooting. So basically, I just got back to LA on the 21st. So we had like 19 days of shooting. I shot for 14 days. And it's a cute little comedy and it was a lot of fun to shoot. I miss everybody. I was just texting the hairstylist that we're like, oh, we miss everybody. We're so fun. But like, I really needed that time to be there.

I missed acting so much. Is that a passion of yours? I would imagine based on the post that I read, a passion of yours is acting and you were like, felt like you were in your element when you were there doing the movie. Is that true? You really love acting?

Oh, the theater degree. I started acting since I was a kid. Acting was what I always wanted to do. Stand up was a surprise. You just thought out you were funny and said, hey, I could go on the stage. If I tell a few jokes, maybe I'll make some money. No, another comic told me I was a comic

and made me take a stand-up class. Oh. I never had any. Which comic was that? Which comic is responsible for your left turn? His name is Big Kenny Johnson. He's a comic in Atlanta. And I talked about him in the book.

My manager tricked me into writing. My manager tricked me into writing. He truly, truly did. Reg, reg tiger me. Um, but, uh, my little sister, one of my little sisters from college, I was like two years out of college, one of my little sisters from school ran the door at a comedy club in Atlanta. And I'd been in, like, I was acting around the city. I was doing, I was in an improv troupe for two years.

Um, I started doing the improv troupe when I met Big Kenny, but it was around like, it's like the summer of 2007. I would go to the comedy club just to hang out with her cause she let me in for free and I just started, I've met the comics and I'm talking cause like I knew how to tell a comedic story. I've been acting since I was a kid. So like I knew how to tell a story. I knew, you know, about, I have a theater degree. I'm like two years out of college. And so he was talking to me one day, he was like, you should take my standup class.

And I was like, no, thank you. And he was like, why not? I said, because standup scared me because I came up doing theater. So when you're acting, or when you're doing improv, which is still a form of acting, when you're acting or when you're doing improv, which is still a form of acting, you're on stage and you're in an ensemble

and you're performing, especially like in a play, you're not yourself because you're bringing another person to life and there aren't your words because you're following a script. I can see that. And so stand up is you're by yourself it's all you and it's all your words and I was like nah I'm straight and it was very scary to me and for two years he would invite me out he would invite my mom out he was in this improv troupe called the black top circus I think was the only like at the

time the only all black improv troupe I guess that was working on a consistent basis. I don't know. That's what he told us. So Blacktop Circus, he would invite us out. And I was like, I'm not doing this. I'm not doing stand up. I don't know why you keep bringing me out. I don't know what this is for. You're kicking and screaming. No, gracias. And one day I was working a job and and this was around 2008, 2009, when everybody was getting laid off, when the recession hit. And the job I was working at, they had a bunch of downsizing.

And me and one of my best friends at the time, we were the youngest ones, we were the newest hires, and so we were let go first. And so I was on an employment unemployment and he hit me up again, like, hey, come do my standup class. And I just finished a sketch comedy writing class and the class was like 300 bucks. And I was like, that is my whole unemployment check. That is what Georgia is giving you.

Yeah. For the week was 3.30, 3.83. That was the whole check. I remember, I collected unemployment during that time. Right, and it was like, but you could still live a life on that 300 in 2010. That's true. I had a roommate and we managed to,

we just managed to make it work. We figured it out. And so I was like, and they asked me to do the next section of the class. And then I saw Big Kenny randomly, he was like, you need to take the standard class. I was like, uh, that class is $300. That's my whole unemployment check. I do, I can like, you need to take the standard class. I was like, that class is $300. That's my whole unemployment check.

I do. I can't, I can't. Yeah. Yeah. And then he said, you're supposed to be doing this. I'm not going to charge you for the class. Oh, and then I talked to my mom about it and she said she'd had a dream that the whole world was laughing at me, but she didn't know what it meant.

So I was like, all right. He said, I could say the class was being the Lord gave my mama a dream. I got six weeks. I got nothing else better to do. Let me go ahead and take this class. Yeah, jump in. And so May 12, 2009 was the first time I did stand up.

And so this year would be 15 years that I've been doing stand up. So Big Kenny is responsible. And here's a funny connection. Big Kenny was, I think we've interviewed Big Kenny on the online radio station we had back in 2012, 2013. I think it was one of the few comics that came up there. So I think we actually know, we know Big Kenny. Big shout out to Big Kenny. Ed and Dulce in the right direction. So people ask me, I always mentioned Big Kenny. I will never not mention Big Kenny. So when I started going around Atlanta,

it was interesting because it was... Cause like so many, like sometimes female comics will talk about like, you know, men not, you know, male comics being talking to them crazy or kind of being inappropriate. Cause I was doing- Being toxic in general. Just being toxic in general.

You know, it's so funny because I was doing like, you know, the urban rooms and the mainstream rooms at the same time, because Bikini was like, if you're going to work, you're going to have to go do mainstream, you're going to have to do both. And it is very hard as a black woman in black rooms. Um, because... in the way that...

and black rooms, they will tell you, will tell you, we've already got two females on the show, we already got one female on the show, we ain't gonna put on no more. So white female comics speculate when they're in white rooms whether they're not being put up because they're a woman. If you were in a black room, they will tell you explicitly, we're not putting no more females on the show. So I never had to guess. Geez.

Interesting. If that was the reason I wasn't getting up. White women think that's why, no one's telling them. Black women know that's why if you're doing black robes. And so for me, I was so early in. And so, but also because Big Kenny had been towards me, it was, I didn't deal with a lot of stuff I think I could have dealt with because I was like 27, I'm pretty, I'm just there in general. And so I was hanging out with the comics for long enough where

they'd be like, Oh, no, that's Big Kenny's girl as in like, that's her niece, like that's his niece. Like don't. Yeah, she's family. Don't mess with her or whatever. Leave her alone. But that didn't help me get up because there were other black female comics in the urban scene that had been waiting for their opportunity who had been there longer than me. Very interesting. And so, since there were so few chances sometimes to go up, the female comics who had just had seniority in the amount of time, because they're very, not to mention I'm young and no one knows

if I'm funny yet, right? Yeah, you haven't been tested. Right. You haven't been food proven or whatever they call it. Right, you just don't have the reps is all, is what we say. You just don't have the reps yet. I'm still a baby comic, but she's been doing it.

I've been here for three months, she's been here for five years. Of course she's going to get this spot because she's been doing it. I've been here for three months, she's been here for five years. Of course she's gonna get this spot because she's been fighting to get spots the entire time. Yeah. And she's always having to prove herself, prove herself, prove herself, prove herself while I'm seeing these male comics

who are half as funny as she is, not have to do the amount of work that she's doing. Or I can go to these, or I could go to one of these white clubs and go to these white rooms because there were just more white rooms. Yeah. And then because I was new, some of them knew Big Kenny, some of them didn't, but it wasn't the same kind of mindset where it was just like, because there were so many more rooms,

I had more opportunities to go up. You had more, there were more slots available and maybe the, some places the attitude was different. Why do you think that, why do you think that it was so, I mean, I get it. Like this, you know, there's a long- That's just, that's just the, that's just the person. It's a vibe.

I mean, but it's also with white male, with white rooms, it's the same thing. You don't see a lot of women going up either. They just don't say it out loud. They just don't say it out loud. Yeah. Yeah. We're good at that, white male. We keep certain things to ourselves.

We're going to just keep our mouths quiet. Certain things you can keep to yourself, certain things you cannot. It just really depends on the situation. And then again, I'm coming in as a black woman. And so there's that thing of they assume you're funnier because you're black. Because I've seen so many white comics go, oh, black comics are funnier. And then they just throw you up. So if you're dealing with a lot of different things, but you're still dealing with the,

well, but you hear the conversation, well, do we want to put a lot of girls on the show? And it's just like, there's 12 comics, only three of them are women. What are you talking about? So you're still dealing with that ratio, but only 20% of comics are women anyway. Yeah. So I was talking, I was in a car with this comic who's deeply not funny. So of course, he had all the ego in the world. I wish I could say his name, but it would waste more time saying it. And so he was in the car, he was just like, I just don't know that there are many women that are killers.

And I just went, are you a killer? Yeah, right. You're not a killer either. I said, also, why is that something that's necessary? Why are you paying attention to that? I said, for every 10 comics, only one of them is a woman. So the only reason you're paying attention is because there's just so many less women.

Also, why are you concerned about that? There's plenty of dudes that aren't fucking funny, so why are you so pressed about? Yeah, that's what I don't get, they'll say. I don't get this, right? Okay, we all bleed red at the end of the day, right? And if someone is funny, they're funny. If they're not funny, they're not funny.

What in the good fuck does it matter if they are female or male? It doesn't really matter. Because you're dealing- However, I know that narrative, I know that narrative in my mind doesn't exist outside my mind for a lot of places and a lot of people, right?

And I just don't get it. I just don't understand, but that's me. Well, here's the fun little funky loophole in this whole thing. The debate of whether or not women is funny has been started by men who are mediocre, right? But the problem is in this, is that there are, in the same way

that there are a lot of male comics who are not funny, there are female comics who are not funny, right? Sure. Because there are comics who you have seen bomb. We have been standing there and watch them bomb. And then it will get off stage and be like, man, the crowd was rough tonight. I said the crowd was rough. You were rough tonight. And it's just one. And like one of the comics was just like, how is the crowd always rough when you go up? We're on the same. Because there's another comic by the name of Gilbert Lowan who has a joke about like, man, it's like every time

I go up, these crowds are so rough. He's very funny, but he does this joke that's really like an inside baseball kind of joke where he's just like, man, I'll be in the same shows with other comics who are just killing, but the crowd is, I just don't understand. And so it's a very inside baseball kind of a joke, I'll be in the same shows with other comics who are just killing, but the crowd is, I just don't understand. And so it's a very inside baseball kind of a joke, but it's like you'll see them bomb

or bomb, eat a dick, whatever, not do well, crash and burn. And then they'll look you in the face and be like, tough crowd, right? You're like, no, no, crowd was great. You're the common denominator. This is you, ding dong. You suck. This is you, ding dong. You suck. This is you.

And that comic has so much more confidence. By the way, let it fly. You can say any words you want here. You don't have to hold back from cussing on the show. If you're holding back from cussing, like eat a dick, go ahead. Number two, I think it's like that friend that you have that like, and we've all maybe been that friend at times, but it's that friend you have,

they go through bad relationship after bad relationship after bad relationship after bad relationship. And they're like, I just keep meeting crazy chicks. And I'm like, no, maybe you're the crazy one, dude. How is it that every girl that you run into is crazy? I do have an opinion on the crazy chick thing. Here's my thing. Go.

It's, I'm not a crazy chick, but I've become a crazy chick because of how I was treated. And so I was saying to one of my friends, I was like, if a girl or if a girl, if you're speaking specifically about quote unquote crazy chicks, if she's truly crazy, she's crazy date one, she's crazy date two, she's crazy date three. She's not crazy a year in. Yeah, that's so true. So when a guy goes, oh, that's so true. Speak.

So when a guy goes, oh, that girl is crazy, I always go, what did you do? Yeah. What did you do? You did something. Yeah, you flip-switched somewhere in that relationship. Because I remember doing something crazy. I was getting ready and I called my home girl and she was just like, you're about to do crazy chick shit.

I was like, you're right. You're right. This is crazy girl shit because here's the thing, truly crazy people never have successful businesses. Not for very long because you take so much effort to be crazy. But what I was saying is that because of the loophole being that because so many men run around trying to say women aren't funny, women aren't funny. And the comics that I noticed are always the ones talking about, well, you know, well, we really know that women aren't funny or it's the conversation.

Like I was talking to Ali Wong at the Emmys and she was saying that a male comic came up to her, a white male comic came up to her and was like, well, you're not successful right now because Asians are in. Or, you know, you're successful now because you're pregnant. Stuff like that. And so I've had white boy comics in my face being like, what's so hard for white dudes right now? It's never been hard for white men ever. It's hard for you because you're not, because you're mediocre. And what's happening now is that you've worked

twice, you worked half as hard to get everything. The rest of us had to work twice as hard to get half as much. So now, because we have the work ethic to do twice as hard to get half as much. You're asking to work, being asked to work the irregular amount and you feel left out and oppressed. All they're asking you to do is the amount of work that everyone else has had to do and you're going, this isn't fair. It's not that it's not fair. White men will always be okay.

You were mediocre and so because all of these other because people of color and queer people are being allowed into a space that white men were in for so long You can't skate anymore Because that alt bubble that we had back in the day where we got Kyle Canane and Grace Goldville and Jesselneck and Daniel Tosh. Those guys were successful at that. There were all of these guys coming up behind them copying them. So instead of being their own person, they were trying to do Canane, they were trying to do Jesselneck, they were trying to do Jethelnic, they were trying to do Rory. And since they were trying to become other people as opposed to being themselves, none of them have a career.

And so these girls now are going, because we're caught up in this idea that women aren't funny, there are a lot of these girls aren't doing the work because they're going- They feel discouraged. It's not that they feel discouraged, it's that there's no, because they're stuck in this mindset of people saying, well, women aren't funny. These girls are legitimately not funny, but they're not doing the work because they're going, well, you don't like my comedy

because people say women aren't funny. No, I don't like your comedy because you're not funny. But now they're sitting in this space of, well, you know, it's so hard to be a woman in comedy. It's not if you're funny. It's hard for you to be a woman in comedy because you're not funny. But you're blaming the fact that you're not getting what you think you deserve because people think women aren't funny.

No, you're not getting what you think you quote unquote deserve because you're legitimately not funny. Not funny. Yeah. But you're never going to- It's the rough crap. Right. They're using the angle as a crutch.

Right. And they're not putting in the work because they... You could be funny. Maybe if you put in the work and you did the thing that you got to do the reps like you say, but you already have a state of mind that you're checking out. I check out, but the truth was, you weren't funny in the first place. You needed to do the reps.

You needed to get in there and dig in and be yourself and find your voice and all that other stuff that so many comics like, Jezel Nick and Kyle Kanane, who we had on the show and was wonderful. Those, those, they have an original point of view. They have storytellers. Allie Wong is an amazing comic. Maria Bamford is an amazing comic.

Shelly was sharp is an amazing comic. Lace Larabee is an amazing comic. And these comics are still, and we're all in, we're still dealing with men coming up to us being like, oh, it's just so hard for dudes right now, or them coming up to you being like, well, I just thought that you would understand that as a black woman how hard it is. And I'm like, bro, get out of my face. Yeah, get out of my face. Like, what's so hard? I go and I just go good. Good. You have to try now. How does it feel? Well, I'm just you're saying what you are. There's a comic David twine who has this joke about like he him as a white man is doing life at the lowest

difficulty setting and he's still failing is the joke. He's like, I have everything handed to me and I'm still not doing a good job. And so there's that thing, because it's just like, I'm not going to say that there aren't women comics. I have seen very funny female comics not get opportunities because they are a woman. I know that it's true, but the people who are always talking the loudest are the people that shouldn't be talking. Because the people with the most to say are always the ones doing the least. The people that the most opinions about stand up and want to stop you and talk about it aren't the ones that are successful at it. Yeah. I'm still shocked and probably not

shouldn't be shocked about anything at this point in the universe's history, but I'm shocked that they're drawing comparisons to your experience. Like anybody knows. I mean, like anybody knows. Have you met a white before? They love going, oh. I'm right here.

It's just so hard for us. Who's us? Who is we? I've never uttered those words. Oh, you must be. I've never uttered those words. No, you haven't. Yeah, and I won't ever utter those words.

That's a ridiculous statement. It's a ridiculous statement that comes from fairy tale land. And I don't know who, who is under the assumption that in listen, we can't help who we're born to or what we do. But at the end of the day, it doesn't really fucking matter because this is, I landed in the jackpot. And so is it a little bit, like you said, is it a little bit tougher? No, you just, it's just the, it's just the floor is evening a little bit,

but it's still not even. It's still not even. At the end of the day. But equality will always. It's still not even, and to draw comparisons is fucking insane. It's fucking insane, it's insanity. It's the talk of a lunatic, yeah.

Equality will always feel like oppression when you're the one that people are having to level up to. So when you're one that's on top, you're like, who let them in here? Security! Who let these riff raff in here? And at the same time, though, you see it shifting because that's like the improv's, like 60-year anniversary. And they're like, what's, you know, what's,

what's like one of the things that's like, that's really helping a lot of comics nowadays. Some interview and I was just like, you know, the internet, because if you're posting content, people are seeing who you are, because the internet is a infinitely hungry toddler that must be fed at all times. Yes.

God, that's a good way to put it. And then he said, he was like, well, what's one of the hardest parts of being a comic right now? I said, it's the internet, because you have to constantly post content because it is an infinitely hungry toddler that has to be fed at all times.

That's so funny. So it's so true. The thing that is helping is also the thing that's, it's another job. Yeah. You have to keep up with it. And so it's like, at least when you're feeding a toddler, they will grow up, but.

Yeah. This is just. They keep getting younger. Well, this is like, I just think if you you think of like a coal train, which is like, but we're just on one track, it's a track that goes in a circle and you're just feeding and feeding. Because like one of my friends, you know, he's posting clips all the time and you know, I've seen comics grow.

They're following and seeing them get really great opportunities and they're selling out this and selling out that. And then you'll have your reps go, well, can you be doing this and doing that? I said that person's only job is being a comic. That is it. That's all they do all day is stand up. I'm on multiple TV shows. You're an actress. And I'm an actor.

You're an entrepreneur. So it's just like I'm doing, no one asks that person to write a book. This person's not on this TV show. This person doesn't have to record for this. This person's not doing, I'm very blessed to have all the things that I'm doing, but don't add another job to me. When all this other person does is this one thing. I have four other jobs. It's a full time. We just talked about this on the show the other day about how as, you know, the podcast does very

well, but we just don't pay attention to social media because quite frankly, I'd like to talk on the microphone for a living. But the reality is that if you don't focus on social media, then somehow you're not doing what you're supposed to be doing. You're feeding it, but in the clubs, they'll go, well, you know, if I had a club go like, well, you know, well, they, they were asking about you posting on social media. I said, the show is two fucking months from now. So my question is, what are they doing? I don't live in this city. They're like, well, you have a, yes, I have between all my social platforms is 200 something thousand followers, right?

They don't all live in your town. You are in your town. You do that thing. So you do that thing in your town. You live in Loganville, wherever the fuck you are. Yeah. And so where is the press for your town? What are you doing on your social media?

Your comedy club's been open for years. You know how to put people, what are you doing? Don't look at me and act like I post the thing. Come to find out I had a dinner with the people that meta they let us know static posters don't do well people don't give a shit Yeah, so you're asking me to do something that now the algorithm has figured out is antiquated So you're pissed at me because I didn't post a poster Well, did she post a poster?

What I had to do was make a video and then post a poster in the second slide because according to this dinner that I had this very fancy Italian restaurant, fucking Instagram, they told us that people don't give a fuck about posters and I've seen that on my Instagram. So you're literally asking me for something that no longer fucking works. So now I have to find videos. So fine, I have no problem posting videos. It helps kick up the algorithm. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, yeah, I know, it's maddening. But don't sit.

You're asking me to waste my time. You're asking me to waste my time. So then it's like, then you create assets, the assets look like trash, now I have to figure this out. And then it's just like, well, maybe you should make a poster for the thing. I pay this kid to make a poster.

The motherfucker was on Canva. Uh. Uh. So I took one of those posters, made the exact same thing, I paid this kid to make a poster. The motherfucker was on Canva. So I took one of those posters, made the exact same thing, and sent it to my manager. And he was like, oh, this looks nice. Who made it? I said me. All I did was compil this simple ass post. I just paid this boy $250 for it.

Motherfucker, give me my money back. So it's just so you're trying. And then you still have to write more jokes. I'm like, bro Yes, that's true. So now stand up is you still have cuz you still have to be a Comic yeah, but now I'm a comic, I'm a web designer, I'm a DJ, I'm a party planner. I just sound like every Negro in Atlanta with a fucking business card. That should be cute. Okay, let's talk about this.

We, Nina Chrissy and I have said this. Everybody you meet in Atlanta, everybody, white, black, otherwise, they're all like, yeah, I'm a producer. You're a producer of what? I used to have a joke, somebody was like, I do music. I said, yeah, I also have a driver's license. I know, right? I do music.

I was like, what do you do to it? What are we talking about? We've all, listen, we've all worked at a music studio. Everybody, I just wanna explain to somebody, everybody in Atlanta has worked at a music studio. Everybody, I just wanna explain to somebody, everybody in Atlanta has worked at a music studio. Doesn't matter. Everybody in the city has worked in a music studio. True, I know.

Everybody in Atlanta, and they were like, what? I said, everybody, regardless of race, you do not understand. Everybody who's been in Atlanta for most of their life has worked in a music studio or dated a DJ. Or a music producer and you're in the studio and they want, I don't understand why they want you to be in. I don't want to hear the same song six hours in a row. I don't.

I know, right? Over and over. Over and over. You listen to the same song for hours and then they ask you a question about it and you know it doesn't sound good, but they're not asking you. And I realized when I was dating the first music producer I dated, I remember sitting there going, this is a question for information, this is a question for confirmation. For affirmation. Affirmation, that's what it is. You don't want any real input.

You want me to go, yes daddy, it's nice. Sounds great. Congratulations. Another banger in the box, honey. Another banger. And I remember just sitting there, I remember he bought this CD tower where you could burn Ah, sounds great. Congratulations. Another banger in the box, honey. Another banger. And I remember just sitting there, like I remember he bought this CD tower where you

could burn 10 CDs at once. This is how young I was. This is like 2006. Yeah. Where you could burn 10 CDs at once. Yo, I was in Burbank like a month, two months ago with my mom and my brother. You get out the car. This man was trying to sell us a CD.

And I was like, sir. Sir. Because he tried to talk to my mom. He's like, hey, what's up? I said, all right, don't talk to him. You selling CDs. Don't talk to him. My brother's like, he's doing what?

I was like, sell us the, I was like, sir, you need to go back in time to make this viable. Right, exactly. He was like, he's like, you know, you're not trying to support my business? Yours and I are not supporting your business! Who has a CD player? No one!

I said, this is a brand new car. There's no CD player in here. There's not. I said, you need to be selling QR codes. You need to be selling downloads. I said, trying to hand somebody a CD? Well, I'm just trying to make things happen. You can't make anything happen.

You might as well be selling VHS tapes. What are you talking about? I'm just trying to make things happen. You can't make anything happen. You might as well be selling VHS tapes. What are you talking about? I'm just trying to make things happen. Because I said to my mama, I was like, don't talk to him. I said, mama, he's selling CDs. She's like, he's doing what? He's selling CDs. My brother's like, what's he doing selling CDs? I was like, sir, I can't be. I said, what could I hate on? Your horrible business practices? What are you talking about? He's walking around in a kangol hat in a parking lot with a duffle bag. I was like, do you have actual CD? I said, I hope you're out here robbing people. That's going to be a more viable plan. God, I hope you're robbing people out here. Please hit me over my head.

I was in Santa Monica Pier last year, around this time last year. We're walking down the pier. It's the worst. You know, everybody is trying to sell you something, trying to do something, and some guy comes running up and he's like, hey man, check out my new music, it's free. And I go, okay, and then he takes out a pen, he signs it, he hands it to me, and he goes, $5 for the signature.

And I was like, I handed it right back to him. I'm like, I'm not paying $5 for your music, I'm sorry, bro. And he's like, man, it's fly, and it's up and coming, you're gonna hear me on the radio. Was it a CD too. What's that? Was it a CD? It was a CD. It was a CD. And I told the guy, I was like, hey, listen, man, I don't even own a CD player. I don't know what I would do with this. Keep the signature. No, thank you. I appreciate it. Why would I pay, first of all,

why would I pay you for your signature? Yeah. when even people you went to high school with don't know who you are? Yeah. It's true. And it's so funny because people are like, oh, you just hate. And I was like, I wish. I said something like, you just hate nothing, sir. You've given me nothing to hate on.

If I had the opportunity to hate on. If I had the opportunity to hate on you, I might even take it. But there's nothing here to hate upon. What could I possibly be hating on? Your business practices are flawed. I know why I'm not at work in the middle of the day. I know why my mama's not at work and why my brother's not at work. Why are you currently not at a job? What woman is supporting this nonsense? Because I know you've got a girl at home that you convinced to support your dreams. I hope to God you don't have children with this lady because she must really, your dick must be amazing for her to put up with you being in a Target parking lot. Also, he

didn't even tell me what the genre of music was, but I'm looking at his outfit. Either did the guy I talked to. Right. He didn't even tell me. But I'm looking at his outfit, I'm like, I hope it's jazz because there's no way. It's soft jazz, it's the Catalina mixer. Listen, if somebody, I can tell you, that's the thing, I'm gonna be 41 on July 4th, right? I know you've got an upcoming birthday.

Thank you. I turned 41 on July 4th and I, this man that I was talking to a couple of months ago was like, oh, I'm going to go see jazz. I was like, what? And I realized that I am to the age where I would be dating men- In jazz, into jazz. Who want to go see jazz. And I'm just like, oh my God.

Because my homegirl, last summer, we were out at some day party. It was like for Tony Rock's birthday. And I had on my little cute little outfit and she called me a rich auntie. And I'm like, am I a rich auntie? She's like, what did you think you were? And I was like, am I rich auntie? She's like, what did you think you were? And I was like, no. Because I'm currently a well-to-do auntie, and I hope, you know, we're praying to be a well-to-do mother, but I don't want to go, I want to go see Megan Thee Stallion at concert.

I don't want to go see Jed. Exactly. Like I don't- Missy Elliott's coming to Atlanta. I would rather see Megan Thee Stallion and Glorilla and I don't, I'm not trying to, I don't want to go to no grown and sexy nothing. I'm like, oh my God, am I growing and sexy? Should I be at a white party with a bunch of aunties in Atlanta? Am I supposed to be going to a concert at 4 p.m.? Oh.

Chastain. Yes, am I supposed to be in Chastain? That we were just talking about this. Chastain is where the old people go for concerts. Am I supposed to be in Chastain? Because I remember everybody went to the Jazz Festival, right? Yeah, Jazz Festival was everybody's favorite. Everybody went to Jazz Festival and it didn't matter. And I was like, I don't even remember, but we would only go when it was like the Latin Jazz, I feel like. It was like the Sunday afternoon. I've seen Tito Puente so many times.

It was like, it just hit me because then there's another gentleman that I had like a bit of a crush on and he was talking about going to see jazz. I was like, oh no. No, no. What? Oh, God. How did you see the videos of Andre from Outlander doing his flute thing? I, let me say something. The thing that was, when they had their last concert, I was still living in Atlanta, and the number of white people that came up to me

talking about, I wanna see Outkast. I'm like, it looks like y'all are the only ones, because no black person has come up to me talking about they wanna see Outkast. It's just, it's just been y'all. I don't know where to meet men. I'm trying to go outside more. Me and my mom, my brother, Jordan and my John Lee, just to have, just to get out my house. Yeah, it's got to be tough.

Because comedy shows, single men don't go, single straight men don't go to comedy shows. No, and if they do, there's something to be concerned about. Yeah. Yeah, because they're usually by themselves, which is more troublesome. And he's probably in a t-shirt and shorts, regardless of the time of year. Like, I love your Captain America shirt, but... You might get a one-off single dude who's with, like, a group of friends, but for the most part,

single men don't go to comedy shows. So, trying to... Yeah, because the apps, talking about social media, I mean, the app, using all those apps are a job as well. Not only did I take all the apps off my phone, I also remembered that I would take them off my phone, but I'm putting this in God's hands now. I'm not doing no effort.

I'm done. Because from what I have seen, the common denominator is, like that little boy said, I make bad financial decisions. Y'all don't know what I'm talking about. I make bad decisions. My uterus has been in charge for a long time and she likes a very specific type of man. And so I don't disagree with the body type, but we need more assets. And so I, the other day, not only, because you can delete them off the phone, but the profile still exists. Stays. Right. stays right I went through every single dating app that I had ever downloaded

I'm talking about Tinder, Hinge, Plenty of Fizz, Bumble, the BLK app, Raya which was trash from day one till day five upward match.com. Honestly match.com was the worst. Because I found out on there how truly racist people can be. Oh yeah, because you would see guys click on every single racial background except black. And I was like, sir, you live in Snailville. When are you going to meet a Pacific Islander? Stop. Stop it. You are the likelihood of you meeting somebody from Samoa. Sir, you would rather talk to somebody you're never going to meet in the history of your life than talk to a black lady. Let me get the fuck off this website.

So yeah, exactly. Max.com was off. Raya was worse because it was just a history of your life and talk to a black lady? Let me get the fuck off this website. That's crazy. Yeah, exactly. Max.com was off. Raya was worse because it was just a bunch of DJs and models. I went through the other day and I deleted my account on every single dating app I had ever downloaded. You're free. Yeah, we.

I was just like... Because the other hard part of... What happened? Well, it's like I couldn't handle it, but the other hard part about being on dating apps was that you just got to see that a city full of men didn't want to talk to you. That was the worst part. We were just like, millions of men live here. Or when you pay the extra to see who likes you,

and just the trolls, ug mugs, and mud ducks that'd be collected back off in there. You're like, I know I'm a pretty person. I'm a good person. I'm a good Christian lady. Who, who are these Jim Henson labyrinth creatures who are trying to talk to? Labyrinth.

Labyrinth's a good baby. What is this dark crystal situation? Dark crystal! Dude! Feelings hurt. You will never get your feelings hurt, like looking at the Who Likes You part of a dating app. Oh my God.

It's like I've never walked in nature. I'm glad you're all. It's not like these titties are sitting. Like I was hurt by feelings every time. So, I went through, it was probably two days ago, and I was just like, nope, deleted all of the accounts. I can't get into all of them. I'm just like, I'm going to have to let God do this. I'm about to be 41. I don't know what I'm doing. Somebody's going to have to take the wheel and it's going to have to be Jesus because I've been having him as the co-pilot and he needs to drive.

Mm-hmm. Someone in our audience, give Dulce a shout. She is funny as shit, hot, and single, ready to mingle. And have money. Don't be poor trying to talk to me. Don't do it. Yeah, exactly. Do not, I cannot.

That's why I said no more broke dick, my ministry. I'm truly serious about it. Do not come up to me if you cannot pay half my mortgage. Don't waste my time and yours. Don't do it. truly serious about it. Do not come up to me if you cannot pay half my mortgage. Don't waste my time and yours. Don't do it. Don't do it. I have to answer to my mother and I have to pay these bills. If you cannot pay half my mortgage, your draws can't be in my house or on anybody's floor. I'm just being truthful with it because most people get-

Yeah, that's a baseline. Baseline. Because here's the truth of the matter. Most people get divorced because of finances, not because they fell out of love, not because somebody cheated, not because it's the number one reason people get divorced, their irreconcilable differences are financial. Yeah, it's true. It's irreconcilable differences. And when people say they take that down on another level, it's about communication.

And the finances, when psychiatrists or psychologists digged into that, it really has to do with the communication. Can you talk about the problems when they show up, like fucking grown adults, or are you going to be a little child and just stick your head in the hole? I choose to stick my head in the hole, but I got a wife, so what can I do? I mean, listen, as long as, if her head is in that hole with you, then hey. It is, it is. She's Venezuelan. She's checking in on your hole.

Yeah. She keeps me in check, that's for sure. She's spicy, she keeps me in check. Dulce Sloan is on The Daily Show. She has a new, what's the name of the movie coming out? When does it come out? I don't, we literally, we just wrapped on, not even a week ago, so to tell you that, ooh, I would be lying, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

Because you know I don't know. Yeah. Look for her in the movie. She has Giggle Gloss, which is lip gloss. I'm buying it today. You're buying it. I'm gonna get some for my daughter because she's a lip gloss freak.

She's going through that. But most importantly, Dolce is on tour right now and you can get her tickets at dolceslone.com. Hit the tour button and check it out. She'll be in Atlanta. She'll be in Atlanta. And September 13th. September 13th, I'm going to be there.

Lace Larabee is going to be on the show, I hope. I'm looking to get Clayton English, Mr. Sabato Domingo himself. Clayton English, trying to get David Perdue, Baron Von, the big brother. So, Baron Von is a- You're gonna have a good old time. Yeah, Baron Von is another comic

who really took me under him wing and just really, he's the one that told me that I could never name a special or anything, Ash Class and Sass. He retold that, he was like, no, no. I think that's great. I know. But maybe that's his point. That's his, he was like, you're gonna be-

That's his point. Cause I was, cause they were doing like names for the book and I was like Ash Clash is as I just heard it. And like a 90s TV show, a bubble popped up, came up above my head. Yeah. And him just going, no, no, absolutely not. So that's. What do you think, Jeannie?

No. Goodbye. It's, it's a, he was like, you don't want to reproduce down to those things. And so that's why we named the book, Stories of Dating Destiny and Dejahs, because it's really a collection of essays. Because I wanted to call it, don't call it a memoir, I'm only 39. Yeah. Which people always laugh, but the publisher was like, well, let's not tell people what it's not.

And I was like, all right, sure. But yeah, I talk about like growing up in Atlanta and how I got into standup, how I got on the Daily Show, relationship things with different boys in Atlanta, having to Frankenstein men together. Yeah. You get it. You know what I mean. We're just like, this boy takes you out, this boy has the D, you know. This suit you just hang out with to keep your car fixed.

Right. And together, those three dudes make one man. You're like, I got it all. I just need to visit a couple places together. I just got to put some gas in this car and I can go to a Papa Doe's, get some good D, and get my brakes done. Oh, Papa Doe's. Good old Papa Doe's. Do you know there's a nation? I only thought it was Atlanta. I was in Austin, because you know how the Papa Doe's in Norcross is next to the Drury Inn?

Oh, yeah. Yep. I was in Austin and I was like, oh, a Papa Dough. And I was like, a Drury Inn. I was like, wait, are these affiliated? And I didn't. I said, this is a wild coincidence. And I don't know if it is a coincidence,

but that's none of my business. It was wild. It's a real estate thing. They buy the real estate under it and then the same management company. I think you're right because you know, there's one here, so there's the one in Norcross and then there's the one in Roswell, Alpharetta area

They also have a motel. I don't know if it's a Drew in but they also have a Hotel motel that's sitting on their property also What it is what it is It's whoever owns a Papa don't smart because he knows that you don't spend these coins. Yes. Yep. Wow. You know what? That's why I say more hotels because like, you know, some of those hotels that have like the little, what's it called? Like the fancy work, like a livery or something like that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, they have like the little like snack area and they're like, Oh, here's some Tylenol and some Pepto-Bismol. I'm like, y'all ain't got no condoms in here?

I know, right? And they're like, well, we don't want anything. And I was just like, you know we're in a hotel, right? Yeah. You know that a lot of people come here just to fuck, right? You get that, don't you? How are you losing out on this? I would make Hilton brand condoms.

What are you talking about? I know, exactly. I have it in one hotel. it was a high end hotel, and it just had this little black box that was on the mini bar, and it was just like a lover's kit or something. So they went way in the opposite direction. So it was just, they're like,

oh, it's that little blindfold and fuzzy handcuffs. And da da da da. And I was like, see, this is too far. Yeah, that's too far. This too far the other way. I went to Jamaica, I went to Jamaica and they had condoms and lube. And I thought, hey, you know.

Oh, and lube, yeah. When I went to Spain, they had condoms in one of the hotels. Also, like one of the fancier hotels, they had condoms just like you, just like a little black box. It had condoms and a couple of other things. No handcuffs and blindfolds, though. I wish I had handcuffs and blindfolds. Would have made Spain a lot more interesting for someone.

Probably not me, but. That's hilarious. My brother just went to Spain. I really have no desire to go to Europe on vacation. I've been to London. I've been to Scotland. I'm good. Yeah. I'm all right. I've never heard London, I've been to Scotland. I'm good. I'm all right.

I've never heard people talk about Paris. I'm like, ugh, like my mom went to Paris for church and I was like, mama, how was it? She said, I never needed to go back. So I don't know if, like I would love to go to South Korea. I've been to Australia. I truly don't want to go. It's, it was the most underwhelming experience.

The Hemsworth are a lie. They took the most attractive ones they had and showed them to us. Like, they're the most extra regular looking people. I was like, okay, cool. The upside down whites up too. And I gotta say, I was really good I'm really alright. But like I just don't I mean I guess I want to go to Greece. Italy's great I have to say Italy's beautiful.

I really don't have any desire to go to that entire continent. I've seen what their descendants do I'm truly alright. I think I've met. Listen, we see that, obviously we have different perspectives and I would tell you to go to Spain because it's a wonderful, beautiful place, but I speak the language and I look like them. So, you know, it might be different for me, but my wife is also half Spanish. So it's like, you know, for me, it feels like home

because we have people there that we know they can take us around and you know, you kind of feel you're like in the culture already when you get there. Listen, if I go to the Dominican Republic, I know what time it is Spain is definitely my favorite. Listen, if I go to the Dominican Republic, I know what time it is. You know what I mean? Hell no. They're not letting me back off that island.

That's all. Somebody asked me, because someone was like, would you go to the Dominican Republic? I said, I don't know, because if I lose my passport, they're not letting me off that island. Like, that's not happening.

I speak Spanish, my name is Dulce, I'm going to be at the embassy, and I'm like, no, I'm an American. They're like, what's your name? I'm going to go, Dulce, I'm gonna be at the embassy and I'm like, no, I'm an American. They're like, what's your name? I'm gonna go, Dulce, like, bitch, stop playing. Like, and all of a sudden now I live in the Dominican Republic. So like, I'm stuck. But like, I've been to Turks and Caicos, I wanna go back.

I've been to Puerto Rico, that was beautiful. I've been to the Bahamas, gorgeous. Gorgeous. But like, Germany. Jamaica's great. For what, I've never been to Jamaica. But like, Germany, for what? For what? I've never been to Germany. No. But like Germany, for what? For what? For why?

I'm starting to wonder for what either. I went over there to go to a theme park. I was there for like three days. I went over there and yeah, Germany's lovely. I'm sure it's wonderful and great, but it's not some place that I like have to go to again. I think I'm good. I go to Indiana first.
