Speaker 1: Because I got mine, and I'm gonna tell you why.

8
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: It's story time. So, guys, I went on a date

9
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: earlier last week. I'm sitting at the bar with a gentleman. Now,

10
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: I like this guy. He's cool. We order our food.

11
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: While we're waiting for our food to come out, I

12
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: beat him in a couple of hands of uno because

13
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: y'all know me, y'all know how I get down. Now

14
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: he sucks in this, by the way, but it's fine.

15
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: Our food comes out, we say grace. We're eating. I

16
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: can't taste my food, so I tap them, babe, taste this.

17
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: Can you taste it? Because I can't taste it. After

18
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: he tastes it, he's like, well, it's not much flavor

19
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: acts for salt and pepper. So I did. I got

20
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: the salt pepper and I got the hot sauce right now,

21
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: mind you. I had salmon, spinach and mashed potatoes right

22
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: and the salmon came with like a greavy sauce that

23
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: I should have tasted and put the salt and pepper

24
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: on it and the hot sauce. Still couldn't taste it.

25
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: I asked him to taste it. He said, no, I

26
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: do taste it now. The food is not that flavorful

27
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: even still, I said, okay, but I should still be

28
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: able to taste the fact that it's not flavorful. You

29
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: understand what I'm saying. It was like eating air. So

30
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: I tasted his food. He had an apple walnut salad

31
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: with salmon as well, could not taste it. I ordered

32
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: a Coca Cola with extra its. That's my favorite beverage

33
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: other than my Hennessey sidecar with a half sugar room.

34
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: Could not taste that either. Now I look over in him,

35
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: not tell him. I think I'm gonna need a COVID test.

36
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: He was like, calm down, calm down. I was scared.

37
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 1: I'm talking about crying internally, Like I was scared as fun,

38
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So, of course that killed

39
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: my appetite. I wasn't even trying to eat anymore. I

40
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: was very, very scared upset, and I let him finish

41
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: eating his food and we ended the day fine. He

42
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 1: took me back to my car. Now, listen, when he

43
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: took me back to my car, there was food that

44
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: I left in there from us going out two nights

45
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: before that, and it was seafood. I forgot to take

46
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 1: it out my car. Right, so you can imagine the

47
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 1: smell of old oysters and fucking scallops and clams and ship.

48
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,679
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. That's been sitting in a

49
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: hot ass car over the course of forty eight hours. Right.

50
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: I jumped in the car and I didn't smell anything.

51
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: He said, you don't smell as ship. He smelled the

52
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: ship as soon as I opened up the door. I said,

53
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: I don't smell anything. He said, it fucking reeks in

54
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: the car, Jessica, I said, I do not smell it.

55
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: He said, yeah, you might need a COVID test. He

56
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: thought I was joking at first, though, I'm like, Babe, no,

57
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: I don't smell any of this ship. Now. I had

58
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: been feeling nasally for like the past four or five days. Now, listen,

59
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: I'm thinking that this is allergies because I have had

60
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 1: severe allergies this year so far. I've never had allergies

61
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: until this year, my twenty ninth year of living. I'm

62
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: getting a lot of things late. I just got chickenpox

63
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: earlier last year, you know, So I'm like fuck. However,

64
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,679
Speaker 1: like I said, I'm thinking, this is allergies, right. So

65
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: I called my cousin immediately, and I was supposed to

66
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: meet up with her to go to dinner. She has

67
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: home COVID tests, so I beg her to bring one

68
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: for me. Because I'm such a pussy. I cannot do

69
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: my own COVID tests. I cannot stick anything up my nose.

70
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: I just can't. She has no problem whatsoever doing it, though,

71
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: so she drove down from Pennsylvania to give me a

72
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: COVID test. She bought two to be exact. The first

73
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: one came back positive. I asked her to do it again,

74
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: second one positive. I immediately called my friend and I said, listen,

75
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: I have COVID. You have to get tested because I

76
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: am positive that I have COVID. He took his test,

77
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 1: his came back negative. Now he had already had COVID,

78
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: so his chances of getting it again is very low. However,

79
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: you can catch COVID twice. His COVID test was negative,

80
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: so was my son's, and so was anybody else that

81
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: I was around within those last four days prior. So yes,

82
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: it's official. COVID had been trying and trying, and yes,

83
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: that bitch finally got your girl. COVID got me, guys,

84
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: Hence the sound of congestion. Y'all probably can still hear that.

85
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: I'm a little n easily. And I know a lot

86
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: of y'all have been wondering why she haven't been making

87
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: any videos? Why wa wa, why wa wah wah wah,

88
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: and even in my story. Okay, I do a lot

89
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: of commentary on movie I've just been watching movies land

90
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: back during commentary. But y'all have not been saying my

91
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: face h because I have COVID and I look flushed

92
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: in the face. I don't feel like Donna make up.

93
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: I am laying around my house wiggless, walking around my

94
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: house wiggless. I just do not feel like myself. This

95
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: ship has been kicking my ass up and down my house. Sweetheart,

96
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,679
Speaker 1: Where did I get it from? Who the fuck knows?

97
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: I travel? I had just came back from Colleen, Texas.

98
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: I did a meet and Greek. I just started doing

99
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: meet and greets again, you know, ever since they lifted

100
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: the mandate of wearing masks. I said, okay, listen, I'm

101
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: gonna just give the people what they want and I'm

102
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: gonna start doing meet and greets again. So I didn't

103
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: meet and Greek. I could have very well got it

104
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: in Texas. I could have very well gotten it when

105
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: I landed, because when I came back, I had started

106
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: going out, you know, I had started, you know, I've

107
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: I've been in d C and shipped around motherfucker's all

108
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: types of ship. There could be no way of me

109
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: knowing who exactly gave it to me, but I do

110
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: know that everyone needs to protect themselves. And I am

111
00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: certainly sure that I am getting the vaccine. And now, listen,

112
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: I was one of those people who was against it, like,

113
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: you know, oh my god, I don't want it. I

114
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: don't want it. I don't want now. I've never had

115
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: a flu shot, you know what I'm saying. And I've

116
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: had the flu. I've actually went on stage with the flu,

117
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: if I can remember it right. I did Comedy Zone

118
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: and Raleigh, North Carolina. I don't know if that's exactly right,

119
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: but I believe doing the Comedy Zone and Raleigh, North

120
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: Carolina doing my show with the flu just like Jordan,

121
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So I guess you can

122
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: call me Michael Jordan the Comedy. But this is different.

123
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: This is very, very much different. I've never ever been

124
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: unable to taste, not smell anything. You know. I have

125
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: crazy headaches, you know, all day. The ship affects me crazy.

126
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: You know. I got body aches, you know. Um, I

127
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: get cold and then I get hot. I get cold

128
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: and then I get hot. I'm deeply congested. The only

129
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: thing I do not have a is a sore throat.

130
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you guys, this ship hurts and it's

131
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: nothing to play with. I have a child, I have

132
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: fans to go around. I have to be well, so

133
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: I have to get the vaccine. I I am a

134
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: person that travel a lot. And then not only do

135
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: I travel, I have a lot of contact with people,

136
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: you know, physical contact. People see me, run up to me,

137
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: give me a hug. A girl told me in the airport,

138
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: I don't care. I will catch COVID for you, baby.

139
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: I don't want you to catch it. That was before

140
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: I had it. Baby, I'm telling you now, if you

141
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: are listening, if you're the girl who told me that,

142
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: I would never want you to get COVID. Never, because

143
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: it's not as simple as you think. No, I do

144
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: not feel like I'm about to die. But I am

145
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: at the sickest point that I have ever been in

146
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: my life. No, I don't feel good. I'm having stomach pains.

147
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: It's all kinds of fucking symptoms, and everybody's symptoms are different. Yes,

148
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to get the vaccine. No, I am not

149
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: forcing it on anybody. But if you can do your

150
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: part and you want to start living your life the

151
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: way that you used to live your life and not

152
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: have to be scared of catching COVID, the vaccine definitely

153
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: lowers your chances. And I am going to get it

154
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: because I got more shows to do, I got more

155
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: people to come in contact with. You know what I'm saying.

156
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: Protect yourself. Another thing I noticed that people do. People

157
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: will be diagnosed with COVID and they will not tell

158
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: anyone and still go out around people. That is very selfish.

159
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: I could never do that. I know people who have

160
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 1: had COVID and still went out to party around other

161
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: people with no masks or anything. I've been in my

162
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: house for the past seven days. No, it is not fun,

163
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 1: but I'm doing what i have to do so i

164
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: can do my part social distance. Wash your hands, were

165
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: your masks, especially if you're not vaccinated. Sanitize your hands

166
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: if you have no soap and water, sanitized. I'm telling

167
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: you it makes a good difference. Sanitize your door knobs,

168
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 1: your handles, your car, your staring will if you're a

169
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: person who shake hands, try to give more hugs. Hold

170
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: your breath when you go in for the hug. You

171
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. All types of stuff like that.

172
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: That ship matters, okay, and listen. I have a very

173
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: strong immune system. I take vitamins every day, my one

174
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 1: of days, my Elderberry, you know, Vitamin C, vitamin D,

175
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: sea moss. I take a teaspoon of sea moss every day.

176
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: Even with all of that, I still contracted COVID nineteen. Yes,

177
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: it's hard being isolated from the rest of the world. Yes,

178
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: it's hard being away from my son. It really is hard.

179
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: But I'm doing what i have to do, and I'm

180
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 1: also keeping myself busy. I'm writing comedy. I'm trying to

181
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: create content so when I do come up out of

182
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: this thing, I can make nice videos for you guys.

183
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: I can give y'all what y'all been missing. I'm packing

184
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: up my clothes because I'm moving out of my house.

185
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: I'm moving into a new condo. So yes, I'm keeping

186
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: myself busy, trying my very best. Another thing, y'all know,

187
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: I have a little frenchie. He's one and a half.

188
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: For some reason, my dog is experience and seeing the

189
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: same symptoms that I am. He's not eating in three days,

190
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,719
Speaker 1: and I honestly believe in my heart it's because he

191
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: can't smell it. My dog is greedy. Now, as soon

192
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: as you put a bowl of food down this little

193
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: motherfucker's he's gonna go and attack it, demolish the food.

194
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: He hasn't touched his food in three days. I honestly

195
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: believe I gave my dog COVID. Now A long time ago.

196
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: I don't know if y'all remember this, but I was

197
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: on Live with Charlemagne, and Charlemagne told me that dogs

198
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,199
Speaker 1: can catch COVID. A dog can't give you COVID, but

199
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: you can give a dog COVID. They can catch it. Now.

200
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: I do believe that to be true because he hasn't

201
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: drink anything as well. I honestly just believe that he's

202
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: not hungry because he can't smell it. Now. Their immune

203
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: systems are even stronger than ours. However, their symptoms still

204
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: affect them greatly. So I'm taking Bain to the vet

205
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: as soon as I get well. I'm gonna just try

206
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: to keep getting him to eat, keep getting him to

207
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: drink water. I'm saying this to bring awareness to the

208
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: fact that you can give COVID to your pets as well,

209
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: So be very very careful. If you love me, you'll

210
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: listen to this commercial and then we'll be right back. Now.

211
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 1: If you've ever had COVID, then you know it gets lonely,

212
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 1: and so you would love for people to check on you.

213
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: You feel good when people want to know how you're doing.

214
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: Who's checking on me? My mom? The guy who I

215
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: could have given COVID to, he checks on me every day,

216
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 1: all day throughout the day. You know, I have a

217
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: couple of industry friends that check on me. My little

218
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: sister and one of my girlfriends check on me every day.

219
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: I'm talking about calling this bitch was really get on

220
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: the goddamn plane to fly here to fucking check on

221
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: me in person. I'm like, girl, you got two beautiful

222
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: babies that you cannot take COVID back to. I would

223
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: not even let you do that, but it feels good

224
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: to know who's there for you and who aren't. Because

225
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: I have friends who live here in Baltimore, even family members.

226
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: You know who we're really sick who who thought they

227
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: had COVID I'm talking about. I was going around these

228
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: motherfucker's bringing them ship, checking on them, calling them and everything.

229
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: It's hard to get the motherfucking text back from some

230
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: of them motherfucker's. You understand what I'm saying, Like, I

231
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: really got a little attitude about that, And I could

232
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: have went online and and and invented and said, oh

233
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,599
Speaker 1: I got COVID, y'all. I'm not looking for sympathy, No,

234
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: I am not. I am letting y'all know this because

235
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: y'all need to be aware of what y'all need to do.

236
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,599
Speaker 1: Y'all need to be aware that COVID is still the

237
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: funk out here, very much out here. You understand what

238
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Just because we don't have to wear masks

239
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 1: any fucking more does not mean COVID is gone. Just

240
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 1: because we don't have to wear masks everywhere anymore does

241
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: not mean COVID does not exist. Just because the world

242
00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: is opening up does not mean we cannot still catch COVID. Yes,

243
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: COVID is very much still out here and still alive, y'all.

244
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 1: And I need for y'all to understand that what I

245
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: do thank God for is letting me contract COVID at

246
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: the right time, because I have no shows. By the

247
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: time I do my next show, which is in Arlington, Texas,

248
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: July eighth and ninth, I should be free of COVID.

249
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: You know, I will be free of COVID. So I

250
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: do thank God for that. It didn't come in between

251
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: any of my money. I didn't have to fly anywhere

252
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 1: for any TV jobs or anything like that. Nothing. It

253
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: didn't come between anything, and so I do thank God

254
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: for that. This also gives me time to sit down

255
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: and reflect on how I can improve my set, because

256
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 1: I'm telling you I'm gonna talk about this ship on stage.

257
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about how it affected me and and

258
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: some some funny parts and everything I would make me

Speaker 1: see who the funk is there and who ain't because

260
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I really do got to my fucking

261
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: attitude about that ship. I'm talking about what my cousin

277
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: pull none of that because I don't want any of that.

278
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,280

295
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: black women, the power that we have, the power that

00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: final love, acknowledged her sexuality. At the end of her speech,

303

Speaker 1: and she's so classy. She's the epitome of what a

305
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: strong black woman is and what a strong black woman

306
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: supposed to be. And listen, y'all know I wouldn't be

307
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: me if I didn't say this. The only segment I

308
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: did not like about the BET Awards was when they

309
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: had the cast of Tyler Perry's Sisters. Nice show. I

310
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: watched it a lot, and I love all the actresses

311
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: on there. I did not like how they made them girls.

312
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: And I say made because I know these were not

313
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: their words. The writers that bonnets are okay to wear outside. Now. Look,

314
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what the funk everybody's problem is. What

315
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: moniques and she came out and said, sweet babies, don't

316
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: wear your fucking bonnets outside. Now listen, if y'all can

317
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: have strong opinions, about wearing them outside. Why the funk

318
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: can't she have her strong opinion about not wearing them? No, no, no, no,

319
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: real ship, we can do better than that. No, a

320
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: bonnet is not meant for you to wear outside. No,

321
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: it's not. I don't give a funk what you're talking about.

322
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: And I say in a segment that Fox Sold posted

323
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: where Tammy Roman was talking to Monique and m Tammy

324
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: was talking to her, you know, and she was saying,

325
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: you know what a bonnet is, Tammy, like, y'all know what,

326
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: y'all know what it is. Tammy kept on like trying

327
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: to fix the question a certain way, like, well whoa no, no,

328
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 1: now what if? But but but what if? But what if? Tammy?

329
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: No the bonnet? No baby, no, baby no, no. I

330
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: understand that you are the queen of bonnet chronicles. That's great,

331
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: that's that's amazing. That's something that you created. Great, that's fine.

332
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 1: Do that. But Monique is saying something totally different, and

333
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: you know what she's saying. You know exactly what she's saying. Tammy,

334
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: you don't have to ask the question eighty different ways

335
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 1: to get the same man, because she said what she said. No,

336
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: we don't got to wear that ship in the airports. No,

337
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: we don't got to wear that ship outside to the

338
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: store now to reach his own by all means, if

339
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: you want to do that, should do it. But a

340
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: bonnet is not a fucking hat. It's a scarf. It's

341
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: like a scarf, it's it's a nice's a part of

342
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 1: night attire. It's night garment. Like, I don't understand why

343
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: people are so bent out of fucking shape because she

344
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: said we shouldn't wear them outside. I'll talk about my

345
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: your business, which I don't remember the last time we

346
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: have a mind that our fucking business. Not with the

347
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: internet that we got today, nobody minds their business. And

348
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: like she said, us as black women are her business.

349
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: And it really offends me as a black woman who's

350
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: a part of a culture so big that we really

351
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: try to tear down Monique for voicing that. Y'all act

352
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: like she coming at us, y'all, acting like she's saying,

353
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: y'all some ghetto ass bitches, y'all, the the like she's

354
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: downing us or something. She gave her opinion, just like

355
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: we give our opinions every fucking day. It's okay for

356
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: someone to not feel the same way you feel, but

357
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: don't tear them down or degrade them for not feeling

358
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: the same way you feel. A bonnet is a night hat.

359
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: You wear that ship the bid you get up, and

360
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: you take it the funk off before you leave out

361
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: your house. That's how I feel about it. So I

362
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: second everything Monique says about that ship. And again I

363
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: also second getting the vaccine if you want to be

364
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: at your healthiest point and stay away from COVID. Not

365
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: saying you cannot catch COVID with the vaccine, because I

366
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: know people who have, but their symptoms are nothing like

367
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: mine right now. It's just like if you have the

368
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: flu shot, it lowers the risk of you having severe

369
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: symptoms when you catch the flu. You understand what I'm saying,

370
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: and just like that, I'm gonna end it on today.

371
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: Please wear your masks, sanitize, wash your hands. Get antibacterial

372
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: so Every soap is not good to wash your hands

373
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: to prevent bacteria. Anti bacterial soap is. Make sure you

374
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: sanitize your staring wheels, like I said, sanitize your door

375
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: knobs and anywhere you touch. Sanitize. Do not shake people's hands.

376
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: That's normalized hugging each other and holding your breath when

377
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: you do it. Or give a nigga pound, give a

378
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: nigga elbow, get in, get out. You know what I'm saying,

379
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 1: and I shall shake this ship off and be bad.

380
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 1: I love y'all. Make sure y'all tune in next week,

381
