Speaker 7: Bitch?
Speaker 3: She on no twins?
Speaker 6: That body crazy, Jordan.
Speaker 3: How you deal with I don't Okay, No, she's a fool.
Speaker 9: Whatever we all said, she'd just be acting up. We
Speaker 9: were just talking about this. I was like, there's got
Speaker 9: to be at least seventeen hundred thoughts that come to
Speaker 9: your brain that you gotta stop before they come out
Speaker 9: of your mouth because you know it's gonna set a five.
Speaker 3: It was industry.
Speaker 4: I knew I have to watch what I say because
Speaker 4: you know, you walk into these meetings and you'd be like,
Speaker 4: you be wanting to say that, what the fuck you
Speaker 4: wayn white man, damn?
Speaker 8: What did you understand about Miss Pat's voice in her
Speaker 8: story that others might have missed earlier?
Speaker 9: I think just letting her be authentic, you know, I
Speaker 9: always say when we created the Miss Patt Show, I
Speaker 9: wanted to create the first sitcom that I felt like
Speaker 9: would have that deaf jam comedy vibe.
Speaker 7: Where it's like you could be uncensored.
Speaker 9: Because there's so many that came before her, like the
Speaker 9: Red Foxes and the Richard Pryors and who had a
Speaker 9: show for three seconds, you know what I mean, who
Speaker 9: couldn't be themselves. Bernie Mack couldn't really be himself on
Speaker 9: the Bernie Max Show, but when he got on stage,
Speaker 9: he could say, I ain't scared of you, you know
Speaker 9: what I mean. So I wanted to create a sitcom
Speaker 9: that allowed her to just beat but she could say
Speaker 9: whatever she wanted to say, do whatever she wanted to do,
Speaker 9: and we can have a hard conversations and let her
Speaker 9: say her unfiltered up.
Speaker 4: You know, Yeah, how did your kids get on an episode?
Speaker 5: Like did you you wanted?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 4: So my kids on an episode of The Judge Show
Speaker 4: which airs this week, and my somebody dropped out right,
Speaker 4: so they these are people have real cases or whatever
Speaker 4: fuck going on? Friends disput my kids a case dropped
Speaker 4: out and literally I did not know they was gonna
Speaker 4: walk through that door.
Speaker 3: So you didn't. I had no idea.
Speaker 4: But they did go to the strip club and my
Speaker 4: son did spend my gay daughter money, but we never
Speaker 4: would get it back. And they've been arguing over this
Speaker 4: for a whole year. And I was like, well, why
Speaker 4: would you give a broke nigga some money at the gate?
Speaker 4: I mean at the strip club? And so she he
Speaker 4: didn't pay her back and it became a case. And
Speaker 4: when I heard late versus La, I said that might
Speaker 4: be my baby daddy, I said, I'm fitna put it
Speaker 4: to this nigga, and it walked in was my kids, damn.
Speaker 3: So how did you approach the case?
Speaker 5: Did you approach it as miss pat or as dad Mama?
Speaker 4: I approached it both ways because I can't believe I
Speaker 4: couldn't believe they were swing each other. And I had
Speaker 4: just got my daughter teeth fixed and she didn't pay
Speaker 4: me back, but she want her brother.
Speaker 5: To pay her back.
Speaker 4: And I'm like, oh, y'all owe me money, nobody. I
Speaker 4: brought him out. I paid every five hundred dollars to
Speaker 4: get your mouth fixed and flew you to Guanamore Bank.
Speaker 6: What the hell she went to?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, because they were rough but they look good.
Speaker 3: That wasn't it an agreement for in place?
Speaker 6: Like you need to pay me back for that?
Speaker 3: Oh some reason.
Speaker 4: My kids don't think they especially them first two my
Speaker 4: medicaid kids. The don't think they're supposed to pay me back.
Speaker 6: Your Medicaid kids, yeah, those one that gave because Medicaid.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, you're going on Medicaid to Nigga.
Speaker 6: I'm sure.
Speaker 3: You've been killing me in this mother fucker way.
Speaker 1: Jordan, you're thirty years old now, right, Yeah, thirty thirty.
Speaker 8: He's Jordan the genius by the way, just like to
Speaker 8: throw that word around, but I do the genius.
Speaker 3: You know what. It's nothing like this kid.
Speaker 4: It was so and I've we done told this story
Speaker 4: several times how we met, but when I first laid
Speaker 4: eyes on him, I was like, this, Nigga is a
Speaker 4: black woman, a fat black woman trapped in a gay
Speaker 4: man body. That's the first thing I said about him.
Speaker 4: I said, you died as a fat black woman and
Speaker 4: came back as a gay man. Because how he gets me? Like,
Speaker 4: I mean, immediately, we just we just connected. And I
Speaker 4: couldn't do that with no other writer that I had.
Speaker 3: Nobody would listen to me.
Speaker 4: And it's nothing like dealing with a writer and they
Speaker 4: writing a story about you, and that writer think that
Speaker 4: they're funnier than you.
Speaker 3: You came out funding me, motherfucker.
Speaker 4: When I'm talking about me, I'm talking about something that
Speaker 4: coming from my head. And when I met Jordan, I said, hey,
Speaker 4: I got an idea, but nobody would listen to me.
Speaker 4: He said, what was it. I said, I sat on
Speaker 4: an airplane and talked to white people and see why
Speaker 4: they so racist.
Speaker 3: And that's all I had to say. And that was
Speaker 3: the pilot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Southwest, member of Southwest, you said anywhere, so I
Speaker 4: would literally block the seat off, and I wanted to
Speaker 4: talk to white.
Speaker 3: Men's to see why the fuck they think the way
Speaker 3: they do. I would have racist commer safety about race,
Speaker 3: and I told him that, and that's how the airplane.
Speaker 6: Setting.
Speaker 9: So you see that if you see the pilot what
Speaker 9: we do is the very first episode of this past show,
Speaker 9: it's hers. It starts off with her doing stand up
Speaker 9: and as she's oh, thank you, and as she finishes
Speaker 9: the set, like the airplane kind of comes in around her,
Speaker 9: and then before you know what, we're dropped in the
Speaker 9: scene and she's talking to this white woman about black
Speaker 9: kids being shot, being a black man and stuff in
Speaker 9: a really cool way.
Speaker 7: Yeah, she's.
Speaker 8: How do you how do you make a set feel
Speaker 8: safe for actors to laugh about the same things that
Speaker 8: somebody like this past might have cried about in real life?
Speaker 9: That you know, I mean, I feel like that's That's
Speaker 9: one thing that me and Patt have always had in
Speaker 9: common is that we find a way to laugh at
Speaker 9: the pain. Because once you laugh at it, you have
Speaker 9: control over So we try to make sure that in
Speaker 9: every episode that we do, whether we're talking about raid,
Speaker 9: molestation or porn or drugs or whatever it is, we
Speaker 9: find a way to laugh at this thing to give
Speaker 9: us victory over it in a way in a way
Speaker 9: that no other show kind of does. What's crazy is
Speaker 9: that I always tell the story. When I first saw
Speaker 9: Miss Pat my dad had recorded her. She was on
Speaker 9: some daytime talk show. I was in high school of Julie.
Speaker 7: That's what it was.
Speaker 9: And he was like, you gotta watch her. She needs
Speaker 9: a TV show, she needs a book or something. And
Speaker 9: so I watched it. And I'm in high school. I
Speaker 9: ain't got no power, I ain't got it, you know
Speaker 9: what I mean. But I fell in love with her,
Speaker 9: and I was like, yo, she does the same thing
Speaker 9: that I do. She like wild, tell a story about
Speaker 9: being molested and somehow have you fall over laughing, and
Speaker 9: I was like, yo, I want to work with her.
Speaker 7: So fast forward a couple of years. I'm in college.
Speaker 9: She writes a book about her life. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 9: I'm gonna get this book so I can study it.
Speaker 9: I screenshot the book. The book is like thirty five
Speaker 9: dollars hardcover. I'm in college, so I'm trying to save
Speaker 9: money for my four for fours. I got holes in
Speaker 9: my socks, you know, I'm trying to So I screenshot it,
Speaker 9: but I'm gonna come back to it. Then I write,
Speaker 9: Ain't no mo Leasy's Ain't no mo and he already
Speaker 9: had a connection with miss Patt and he was like, Yo,
Speaker 9: there's this comedian I'm met, and I think you guys
Speaker 9: have a similar voice, Like you should connect with her
Speaker 9: and see and see if it'll work. She came out
Speaker 9: to see the show and she said that exact same thing.
Speaker 9: She said, Now you had like a big black woman.
Speaker 9: I was like, I don't know what they mean, but
Speaker 9: thank you. And ever since then we made it work
Speaker 9: and we we built the show, got bt what they
Speaker 9: first first Emmy nominations every three Yeah, we had three nominations.
Speaker 6: Ain't no more?
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, Yeah.
Speaker 6: It was a screening. It was that what you call it?
Speaker 9: That was like a read before we even did anything
Speaker 9: with it. Yeah, that was like that was probably I was.
Speaker 9: I was probably twenty three when I happened.
Speaker 2: I was asking with you, being so young, how did
Speaker 2: you dive into some of those those legend comics you
Speaker 2: mentioned Red Fox mention?
Speaker 1: Probably what got you into those? Being so young?
Speaker 7: I was?
Speaker 9: I was obsessed with old school TV for some reason,
Speaker 9: like and I think because I love theater, so like
Speaker 9: whenever I watched those old sitcoms like Good Times and
Speaker 9: Jefferson's and Martin it felt like just good theater with cameras,
Speaker 9: Like when you have a live audience, it's not like
Speaker 9: that bootleg like live track ship. Which is why with
Speaker 9: the Mispaschal, I wanted to make sure we had a
Speaker 9: live to do an audience, make sure we got real
Speaker 9: people laughing, because if a joke ain't funny, we're gonna
Speaker 9: fix it, you know what I mean. Like, we're not
Speaker 9: just gonna make y'all for the stupid joke, you know
Speaker 9: what I mean. And so I think learning from like
Speaker 9: the Norman Lears and learning from like that era of
Speaker 9: television really taught me how to write it in a
Speaker 9: really interesting way. And then also I'm just a student
Speaker 9: of black comedy, just like old school black comedy, like
Speaker 9: everything for moms mainly on like, and I try to
Speaker 9: make sure that we honor that black comedy even in
Speaker 9: the stuff that we do. Because she's to me, like
Speaker 9: she's carrying that baton of like those who came before.
Speaker 9: Like I wish I could sit in the conversation with
Speaker 9: her and Bernie Mack and just hear what the motherfucking
Speaker 9: kids got.
Speaker 7: I can hear it.
Speaker 6: I was waiting on everybody else.
Speaker 8: When it comes to Like, the thing I love about
Speaker 8: Jordan's storytelling is he always sent us black life with
Speaker 8: like no filter. Right, how do you decide what belongs
Speaker 8: on the Broadway stage versus what belongs on like a
Speaker 8: TV screen.
Speaker 7: That's a great question. I feel like I never decipher.
Speaker 9: Like even with my new play right now called All
Speaker 9: Happy Days at the Public Theater. We close on Sunday.
Speaker 9: So if y'all New York come out to Old Happy Day,
Speaker 9: it's a black ass play.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was in night I.
Speaker 9: And y'all know Donald Lawrence, Right, Donal Lawrence, like encourage yourself.
Speaker 7: The best is you have to come. He wrote the
Speaker 7: music for it.
Speaker 9: But but I always try to like write without whiteness
Speaker 9: at the center of anything, because I feel like a
Speaker 9: lot of times black writers who are writing for Hollywood
Speaker 9: or who are writing for Broadway or theater, a lot
Speaker 9: of times they assume white people are going to be
Speaker 9: in the audience, and they assume to make them comfort exactly,
Speaker 9: they want them to be comfortable and want them to
Speaker 9: understand every joke, want them to understand. And me, I
Speaker 9: write as if there are no white people watching them,
Speaker 9: because I feel like writing with whiteness at the center
Speaker 9: is a form of white supremacy.
Speaker 7: So it's like, I'm not about to put on my
Speaker 7: white hood.
Speaker 9: So I try to like make sure that anytime black
Speaker 9: people are entering a space, whether that's they're entering a
Speaker 9: theater or just turning on the TV and watching something
Speaker 9: that I wrote, making sure that they feel like, oh no,
Speaker 9: this is for me.
Speaker 3: We have to conn out.
Speaker 4: I will say this sometime it be too damn black.
Speaker 4: I'm like, Joe, we gonna do that. Time to look
Speaker 4: at little nigga.
Speaker 7: What was this story about?
Speaker 9: Like the folks, tip, I said her the first drive
Speaker 9: of the first episode of this pastial right sent her
Speaker 9: first drive and she called me back. She said, Jordan,
Speaker 9: we can't we can't send nigga to these white people.
Speaker 7: I said, what you mean.
Speaker 9: She said, you got me saying nigga and motherfucker and ship.
Speaker 9: And I said, well, pat, that's how you talk. She said, Nigga,
Speaker 9: I don't mother talk like that.
Speaker 3: Time literally.
Speaker 6: Had another playout.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just.
Speaker 4: We just invited you to it. You didn't answer back,
Speaker 4: But that's what you did. Pam didn't call you. You didn't
Speaker 4: answer the white woman back. I'm not touching you ever.
Speaker 4: You will come check it out.
Speaker 7: We closed on Sunday to night out good.
Speaker 3: It is so good. It is so good. It is
Speaker 3: about the black family. It is so good.
Speaker 4: I was in that bitch boohoo and like other than
Speaker 4: the Berxel Club. That's why I'm in New York now
Speaker 4: with the rats and his cold and his bitch.
Speaker 3: I hate this shit, Jordan.
Speaker 5: With you being so young, right, did you ever get
Speaker 5: any pushback?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 5: Yeah, literally think you are experienced enough to even.
Speaker 9: Always from the very beginning, you know, like, and that's
Speaker 9: why I'm grateful that I had a champion of her,
Speaker 9: because of course, like in my plays and my writing
Speaker 9: my plays, I've been writing places since I was like
Speaker 9: ten years old, so I would always experience that then.
Speaker 9: But then when I get to Hollywood, that's a whole
Speaker 9: nother because a lot of the conversations are like things
Speaker 9: like people telling me like, oh, we don't do that
Speaker 9: on television, or that's not possible, but that won't make sense,
Speaker 9: or you know, I've been doing this for thirty years
Speaker 9: and you can't come in here and change this, and
Speaker 9: and I'm like, no, no, we're doing something new.
Speaker 7: That's the point.
Speaker 9: Were creating something new for a new audience and a
Speaker 9: new generation, so like something specifically like I don't know
Speaker 9: if y'all are familiar with them special, but y'all know
Speaker 9: Nigga Poppins, the character that Tommy Davison plays. So the
Speaker 9: whole idea was that, like, oh, we call him Nigga
Speaker 9: Poppins because he just he really supposed to be in jail,
Speaker 9: but he just like ran, we pop up at the
Speaker 9: house every now and again when something needs to be fixed.
Speaker 9: So the whole thing was that was that at the
Speaker 9: end of it to put a button on. The joke
Speaker 9: was that he was gonna steal pats umbrella and he
Speaker 9: was gonna fly off into the sky.
Speaker 3: So let me tell the rest of the toy.
Speaker 4: So Jordan wanted Nigga Popping to fly, but the person
Speaker 4: at the time will then understand why Nigga Popping fly
Speaker 4: and I'm not in Jordan here. So a lot of
Speaker 4: times Jordan says, I'm the start to show he would
Speaker 4: have to come get me so I could push stuff through.
Speaker 4: So I'm like, Jory, if this ship gonna work, you
Speaker 4: know you give me to do this dumb ship. I'm
Speaker 4: cussing out, Hey, it gonna work. So they didn't want
Speaker 4: Nigga Popping to fly, so I wouldn't told look, Nigga
Speaker 4: Popping gonna fly because he say, Nigga Popping.
Speaker 3: Need to fly, and I'm like, that ship makes sense.
Speaker 7: Understand that black.
Speaker 4: You know the way the way Nigga Popping flew out
Speaker 4: the porch, it did look stupid, but I can't.
Speaker 3: I don't have that vision. Well he's talking about it.
Speaker 4: So I would always just say, let Nigga pop and
Speaker 4: fly and everybody got mad, but Nigga pop and flu
Speaker 4: and it worked and it was one of the things
Speaker 4: that everybody remember. And it was so many times Jordan
Speaker 4: coming to me and say we need to do this,
Speaker 4: and I say, Jordan, I'm gonna lose the whole show,
Speaker 4: fucking with you, Like when he wanted to direct, and
Speaker 4: he's like, it's his show. So they wouldn't let him
Speaker 4: show run. So the second season we got him the
Speaker 4: show run because I had to threaten him back and
Speaker 4: I ain't coming back. I'm fussing, cussing out of everybody,
Speaker 4: so they let him show run. Then he wanted the direct.
Speaker 4: He to you on the direct and then I cuz
Speaker 4: I'm fussing, he gotta goddamn direct and I said, nigga,
Speaker 4: can you direct?
Speaker 3: He had never directed.
Speaker 4: I said, when you better learn how to direct? You
Speaker 4: up here got me fussing at these people, so they
Speaker 4: let him directly. I was saying, please, let this shit
Speaker 4: work out. He's playing with these people money. He ain't
Speaker 4: never been in front of this many damn cameras, and
Speaker 4: it worked out.
Speaker 8: Gotta be frustrating when you funny, when you're creative, and
Speaker 8: you gotta explain your vision to people who are not
Speaker 8: funny and not creative because if they were, they wouldn't
Speaker 8: need you all exactly exactly.
Speaker 4: And it is hard, I mean, even over at sometimes
Speaker 4: over at be t plus, you know, explaining.
Speaker 3: To people what we want to do and why we
Speaker 3: want to go there.
Speaker 4: I remember when when when when I was on the
Speaker 4: episode where I was having an abortion and I had
Speaker 4: an abortion without my husband consent because I was we
Speaker 4: was trying to send a missing This is my body.
Speaker 3: Just because I'm married to you. You do not own
Speaker 3: my body. If I get pregnant and I choose to have.
Speaker 4: An abortion, it is my choice, like it's your choice
Speaker 4: to get your nuts clip. Nobody ever says ship when
Speaker 4: y'all get your nuts clip. Hey, that's killing babies too.
Speaker 4: They stopped up in your ass. Now they can't come
Speaker 4: there to you all and recreate, right right.
Speaker 3: I never thought about it like that. But you don't
Speaker 3: cut the baby hat off because it can't come out
Speaker 3: through you.
Speaker 10: Your rethough whatever that call. But anyway, knock a long
Speaker 10: story short.
Speaker 4: Terry pushes a t refringerator because I had an abortion,
Speaker 4: and one of the deegents was like, he shouldn't push thefrigerator.
Speaker 3: I say, he frustrated.
Speaker 4: His wife just had an abortion without his choice, So
Speaker 4: what are you talking about?
Speaker 3: And I had to fight to keep that in there.
Speaker 7: It was real.
Speaker 4: So those are the things and I try to tell
Speaker 4: them like if it's when sometime me and Terry had
Speaker 4: an argument.
Speaker 3: He'll grabed me and it was like he get her
Speaker 3: head off. I said, bitch, I know how to be beat.
Speaker 3: I've been beat, so let me I know what I know.
Speaker 3: I know what I'm doing to make it look like
Speaker 3: it's real. You know what I mean?
Speaker 4: Time I had my ass beating. I many time I
Speaker 4: beat somebody ass. And those are the things that you
Speaker 4: had to really fight for, like the real stuff. Him
Speaker 4: snatching on me, or him talking to me a certain way,
Speaker 4: or him punching refrigerator or you know, like we had
Speaker 4: one execa.
Speaker 3: That oh my god, oh my god, y'all you're gonna
Speaker 3: have an abortion. And I told her, I said, and
Speaker 3: she left the show.
Speaker 6: I said.
Speaker 4: The problem is is that this is mimicking your life.
Speaker 4: So since I hit on something that you tried to
Speaker 4: hide within yourself, you triggered. So that's why you left.
Speaker 4: It wasn't because you didn't like the Mispatch show, bitch.
Speaker 4: It was because I brought up memories.
Speaker 3: And it's okay.
Speaker 4: You know, sometime I walk down the food out and
Speaker 4: I see polished me and I feel poor.
Speaker 3: So that's why I don't walk down that hour with
Speaker 3: the Southeast and stuff on it.
Speaker 4: I don't eat rich crackers, a certain ship. I don't
Speaker 4: do to make me not feel poor. If I see

Speaker 4: You got me messed up with the bit you touch
Speaker 4: you with that, Jery, Oh my god, that was not me,
Speaker 4: that was your friend.
Speaker 2: I was asking that you didn't for that you wish
Speaker 2: you fought for in any of these shows.
Speaker 4: Mmmm.
Speaker 7: I think we.
Speaker 4: Usually win no because we one thing we did, and
Speaker 4: I tell you what, what I love about Jordan is
Speaker 4: when we went into this, we didn't know anything about
Speaker 4: TV and one thing I promised him, because I'm from
Speaker 4: the street.
Speaker 3: Your word mean everything to me.
Speaker 4: And I told him, I said, this is Hollywood, and
Speaker 4: they're gonna try to tell us some part.
Speaker 3: As long as we stay.
Speaker 4: Together, I think we can succeed. You be honest with me,
Speaker 4: and I always be honest with you. And that's one
Speaker 4: thing they could never do. They could never tell us
Speaker 4: apart when they was talking when they run around to
Speaker 4: my can't she read?
Speaker 3: Hell not?
Speaker 4: I can't read that fast. But I'm a practice. He
Speaker 4: came back and told me. So what we did was
Speaker 4: we went to LA and we hired people to do
Speaker 4: table reads with us because I had never seen the
Speaker 4: table read, and we did it like a couple times
Speaker 4: a month so I could get practice to be comfortable
Speaker 4: because I ain't no shit about acting, and when and
Speaker 4: when they was like, he's too young a direct. I
Speaker 4: fought like hell to make sure he directed, and finally
Speaker 4: they left us alone. So you know, and it's that's
Speaker 4: hard to find in this business, somebody who's gonna keep
Speaker 4: that word with you, because it's easy to dangle money
Speaker 4: in their face and break up the whole fucking try.
Speaker 3: But there was never baby.
Speaker 4: Plus I already had a husband with a good job,
Speaker 4: and I told him you could never give me as
Speaker 4: much money as I could steal from you. So how
Speaker 4: I've never been fascinated by Hollywood. You know, I'm not
Speaker 4: the bitch that gonna get my nose done. I'm gonna
Speaker 4: get my stoma done when they go all the way down,
Speaker 4: because I would like to see them John before I die.
Speaker 4: But other than that mirror.
Speaker 3: Too much heat down.
Speaker 4: There's better have a winship and white just alarryity, little
Speaker 4: poo pool, My hair grow down my thighs, horse.
Speaker 3: My my, she said, whoa who?
Speaker 4: You know it's supposed to have been on an episode
Speaker 4: or or or multiple episodes of Miss Past Settles.
Speaker 5: But I got a I got a phone.
Speaker 4: Call right like, right like, right after paperwork was done
Speaker 4: and all of that right saying that I could no
Speaker 4: longer be on the show for a few episodes because
Speaker 4: of a comment that I had made. And the comment
Speaker 4: was literally, literally verbatim, only women can have babies.
Speaker 5: I said that, you know, And I asked, was that.
Speaker 4: What got them to, you know, revoke my opportunity to
Speaker 4: be on your show?
Speaker 5: And they said yes, Well.
Speaker 4: You know what a lot of times when they do stuff,
Speaker 4: and I'm gonna be honest with you because I knew
Speaker 4: you was gonna ask me this fucked up course, so
Speaker 4: I'm gonna ask you. They didn't come to us and
Speaker 4: say that was They just said we're gonna go into
Speaker 4: BET said no. So when I when I asked you
Speaker 4: to do it, and no matter who I pick in
Speaker 4: this room, the networks still have to approve it and they.
Speaker 3: Check out everything.
Speaker 4: So when I guess that conversation came up and then
Speaker 4: they decided to say no, it's nothing I can do
Speaker 4: when it's their money. I came here and said I
Speaker 4: want you on my show. I went back and told
Speaker 4: them I want you on my show. But then they
Speaker 4: all they said, BT said no, Yeah, I knew.
Speaker 6: It wasn't you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because the person who even called me said that
Speaker 4: you fought for like you really was like, nah, I
Speaker 4: want her on the show, you know, and you said
Speaker 4: that more than once. But they just they told me
Speaker 4: that that was the reason why. And I'm like, oh,
Speaker 4: all right, well do she know that?
Speaker 3: Can she?
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, Like, did y'all talk to
Speaker 5: her or did y'all tell her? What was her feedback?
Speaker 4: Like, y'all don't care that that's her show, she want
Speaker 4: me on there? And then it's just bogus for a
Speaker 4: for a statement like that that I couldn't come and
Speaker 4: do mispast subtles that.
Speaker 5: I was really upset about that.
Speaker 9: But you do understand why people were why people were
Speaker 9: like all up in arms about that, Absolutely.
Speaker 5: I understand. But that don't mean what I said was
Speaker 5: not true.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 9: I think it's only because of only because of their
Speaker 9: transmitn Like people who identify as men out there, who
Speaker 9: like have babies, so they're like, oh, I have a
Speaker 9: baby too, but I don't necessarily consider myself a woman,
Speaker 9: So then it like exits me out of the conversation.
Speaker 7: It's like that was it.
Speaker 9: It was the fact that there were people who don't
Speaker 9: identify as women. Who are like, no, I have babies,
Speaker 9: do childbirth. But I just feel offended because.
Speaker 4: I'm not of you from having a gay daughter.
Speaker 3: Let people be who of the face they want to be.
Speaker 4: I grew up with a lot of people who say
Speaker 4: whatever the fuck they was, that, whatever you are, that's
Speaker 4: who I respect you as being. I just me personally.
Speaker 4: I don't put myself in those conversations. If you say
Speaker 4: you're a woman, then you're a fucking woman. You got
Speaker 4: on my shoes, you got on my dress. I'm mad
Speaker 4: because your makeup is better than mine. Other than that,
Speaker 4: I don't give a fuck what you can look like
Speaker 4: Charlemagne with a wig and Charlemagne want to be, and
Speaker 4: shut the hell up.
Speaker 3: If you want to be Charlah today, then find out.
Speaker 4: I mean, just don't argue with them, because let them
Speaker 4: allow them to be whatever they want to be.
Speaker 3: And that's just life.
Speaker 9: But also I think it's because I always look at this,
Speaker 9: and we talked about this on the show's I always
Speaker 9: think that, like I just look at everybody's spirits, like
Speaker 9: we're all really just like having a physical experience for
Speaker 9: this lifetime here on this earth, but we're all just
Speaker 9: spirits and those spirits when we die. Don't come with
Speaker 9: a debt, don't come with a vagina, don't come with they.
Speaker 7: Just you're just spirits.
Speaker 9: How you It's how you treated people when you were
Speaker 9: here and how you lived your life. And I think
Speaker 9: there are people who are like, oh, I'm just spirit,
Speaker 9: Like I just I don't subscribe to the like colonialized
Speaker 9: mind of like, oh I'm a man, i'm a woman,
Speaker 9: I'm this some of that. It's like, no, I'm just
Speaker 9: I'm just spirit. But I think that that's why people
Speaker 9: were like, oh, all up in arms whenever that happened,
Speaker 9: because it was like.
Speaker 1: But I also like, if you do, I don't think
Speaker 1: you should be canceled for it.
Speaker 9: No, I think it's a conversation. I don't think it's canceled.
Speaker 9: I don't personally, I don't think it's canceling. I think
Speaker 9: it's a conversations.
Speaker 2: Let you know, how we can have a conversation, whether
Speaker 2: you exactly and we can leave exactly.
Speaker 4: Because it's just so much Ship said that, like that
Speaker 4: is completely off. Motherfucker's raido, right, Like nobody get in
Speaker 4: trouble for ship.
Speaker 3: But what else? But my thing is like it's not
Speaker 3: about the gay community is like mag.
Speaker 7: But it's not.
Speaker 9: It's it's it's it's not about canceled canceled.
Speaker 4: Let me clear it up what I mean by.
Speaker 3: Like what you know what I mean when they come
Speaker 3: for you, they come for you, and they coming drones and.
Speaker 4: No matter what you say, they right, I mean they
Speaker 4: did it.
Speaker 3: That's crazy. It is.
Speaker 4: You don't falk with the game community I do. You
Speaker 4: won't be talking that ship about I'll be like I
Speaker 4: talk about my daughter on Stay and I said, this
Speaker 4: is by my daughter, and I leave it this day
Speaker 4: because it's a sensitive community.
Speaker 9: But it's not about sensitivity. It's about respect. It's about
Speaker 9: I respect what you do. You respect what I do.
Speaker 9: It's not about being sensitive. It's like, no, you respect me,
Speaker 9: I respect you. Let's go out, like you said, I
Speaker 9: have drinks. Let's have a conversation. But I don't think
Speaker 9: anybody when people say something wrong, Like if I see
Speaker 9: somebody who considers himself to be gender knocking for me
Speaker 9: and I misgendered them and I say he or I
Speaker 9: say she and they correct me.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna.
Speaker 7: I shouldn't.
Speaker 9: I shouldn't feel canceled or feel upset because I didn't
Speaker 9: know if you tell me we have a conversation, I'm
Speaker 9: gonna respect you because you told me.
Speaker 7: Oh this is how you did it, all right, I'm
Speaker 7: gonna try.
Speaker 3: I don't do identification. I don't. I'm being honest. I
Speaker 3: don't want to know. If you hear them, dare in her?
Speaker 3: What's your name? Give me your name because I can't.
Speaker 3: I don't want you.
Speaker 4: That's a slippery slow you around to call him a
Speaker 4: she or she or him a dim. I gets too
Speaker 4: much to the new gay community. When I was coming up,
Speaker 4: it was just but it was just two things.
Speaker 3: He was a beat. Can I say it? But no, oh,
Speaker 3: you just two things.
Speaker 1: Okay, you know, trying to get me.
Speaker 4: In fal But all of this new stuff, I don't care.
Speaker 3: This is just respect.
Speaker 9: It's not new stuff because this is the thing. It's
Speaker 9: just the same way it's new to you. But this
Speaker 9: is the thing. It's just it's the same as as
Speaker 9: when we were talking about white people. A white person
Speaker 9: trying to get over calling us negro, trying to get
Speaker 9: over calling us color. It's because times have changed. It's
Speaker 9: not oh my gosh, these niggas are all of us now.
Speaker 9: They want to be called colored in an African American,
Speaker 9: and it's like, no, actually, I'm gonna listen to what
Speaker 9: you're saying because it affects you. So I'm gonna try
Speaker 9: to do my best to not say color no more.
Speaker 9: I'm gonna try to do my best to not say
Speaker 9: f no more. And I say beat them up.
Speaker 3: But it's about It's about communication.
Speaker 9: But nowadays I feel like people are so busy doing
Speaker 9: this that they don't actually communicate, so we don't actually
Speaker 9: move forward or anything, you know what I mean?
Speaker 4: So is it okay if I just say I don't
Speaker 4: need to know your pronouns.
Speaker 3: I just want to know your name.
Speaker 7: I don't think that's a I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't cause Rob dropped out of school. I don't
Speaker 4: even know what a pronoun mean. So just give me
Speaker 4: your name.
Speaker 3: I don't know what the noun is. I don't know
Speaker 3: what a verb.
Speaker 4: Just give me your name, and that's what I'm gonna

Speaker 3: But not at the grocery store.
Speaker 1: But but it's forbidden in my household.
Speaker 3: Niggay in your house?
Speaker 9: Fat when a little kid, I feel like when little
Speaker 9: kids say fat, that's what the little kids call you,

Speaker 4: to me, I don't give because I'm gonna fire back.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna easily go to your faith page and see
Speaker 4: the kid, and I'm gonna drag the ship out.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna drag your whole family. So if you call
Speaker 3: me fat, don't hurt me. I know what I am.
Speaker 3: I'm not. I'm not fat.
Speaker 4: Well, I put the ordering up under my stomach. I'm
Speaker 4: not that type of fat. I'm not baby piled of fat. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but I sweat after.
Speaker 6: About the SNAP benefits? Right? Are you asking her? Because
Speaker 6: she understands you do at least I do tell people
Speaker 6: what that means for.
Speaker 8: People to have this SNAP benefits taken away, man, especially
Speaker 8: around the goddamn holidays.
Speaker 4: You know, I was just talking to my assistant and
Speaker 4: there I said, you know, I see people in the
Speaker 4: grocery sto celebrating that people don't have SNAP. And you know,
Speaker 4: nobody actually be born into a family a poverty. Nobody
Speaker 4: actually be born into a family of needs when you
Speaker 4: out there picking that, you can't fought the kids for having.
Speaker 3: A parents that need the program.
Speaker 4: So when you out here celebrating somebody not eat, that
Speaker 4: child is who you hurting that? That child is who
Speaker 4: gonna go to school hungry like I did.
Speaker 3: I grew up on foodstamp.
Speaker 4: There was so many times we ran out of food
Speaker 4: and I couldnot wait till Monday morning so I can
Speaker 4: get that breakfast at school or ma mama food stamp
Speaker 4: to kick in on the third. Nobody's thinking about the
Speaker 4: kids and this So what you might think that the
Speaker 4: mama selling the foodstack of the mamas a hood rat,
Speaker 4: But one thing I do know by being a hood
Speaker 4: rat mama, no matter how much you sell on Foodstown,
Speaker 4: you gonna put a little bit back for grocery and
Speaker 4: that little grocery is gonna feed that child for a
Speaker 4: certain amount of days. So while you out here celebrating,
Speaker 4: you're hurting a kid that don't have shit to do
Speaker 4: with the family that they was born into. It's not
Speaker 4: their fault and you want to take that from them,
Speaker 4: which would give me flashback and it hurts my feelings.
Speaker 4: It actually made me I'm looking for a food bank.
Speaker 4: What I found one in my community to give food to,
Speaker 4: because nobody ever think about that child. I mean, I
Speaker 4: was a child with raggedy clothes. I was a child
Speaker 4: who had to get the Thanksgiving bag skin from school.
Speaker 4: I was a child that went to school raggedy, didn't
Speaker 4: have nothing. But you gonna you making it their fault.
Speaker 4: It's not their fault. You know, everybody can't be born
Speaker 4: to you. Sure everybody can't be born to me.
Speaker 3: But you know, but I had it rough. And those
Speaker 3: are the people that you heard. And that's when I'm talking.
Speaker 4: When I'm on my social media talking, she'd be like, oh,
Speaker 4: you need to stay out of politics. I said, what
Speaker 4: the hell do I need to stay out of politics
Speaker 4: when I pay a shit ton of taxes? And I
Speaker 4: was once those people that you're talking about. I moved
Speaker 4: ten years from being on Section eight in food stamps.
Speaker 4: So I will never forget when I had custead of
Speaker 4: my sister kids and I was working at Walmart and
Speaker 4: I had to get food stamps and how that helped out.
Speaker 4: That twelve hundred dollars I got for raising eight kids
Speaker 4: still were not enough, but I had to make it.
Speaker 3: Do what they do.
Speaker 4: So when you're talking about snap out here, Fuck the mama,
Speaker 4: forget the daddy. Think about that child and that household
Speaker 4: that needed more than anything that you out here celebrate
Speaker 4: that they're not gonna be able to eat because you
Speaker 4: think their parents are getting their hair done, or you
Speaker 4: think their parents are not doing what they're supposed to do.
Speaker 4: Nobody ever looked behind that pair and see the old
Speaker 4: hunger kid. So what is six kids on welfare? Well, hell,
Speaker 4: you're taking my money building the ball room. You're taking
Speaker 4: my money doing dumb crafds. And let me just say this,
Speaker 4: They've been doing this for years. The Congress have been
Speaker 4: doing this for years, taking all money making their lives better.
Speaker 4: But one thing I can say, I've never seen a
Speaker 4: president that take that took like they're doing the shit
Speaker 4: he doing. Now, you had your little racist president, but
Speaker 4: they still were gonna tricker down and get a little
Speaker 4: black folks, they little help in here and there. And
Speaker 4: not only that, you cut off program to help people
Speaker 4: with their electricity. You cut off program to help people
Speaker 4: with their lights.
Speaker 3: Do you know how? And people's like, well, how is
Speaker 3: it affecting you?
Speaker 4: I might live in a fifteen thousand square foot house
Speaker 4: and it had not hit me, and it hadn't hit you,
Speaker 4: and it hadn't hit you, and it probably hadn't hit you.
Speaker 3: But it hit the people that I talked to on
Speaker 3: a daily basis.
Speaker 4: They hit my friends when they cannot pay their bills,
Speaker 4: and I'm the only friend that they can call and say,
Speaker 4: can you give me a little bit of help?
Speaker 3: It hit my family.
Speaker 4: You know how many people I had to go help
Speaker 4: since this crap has been going on. And I don't
Speaker 4: put that on social media because it's none of your
Speaker 4: damn business.
Speaker 3: I don't do it for lights.
Speaker 4: I do it because I love the people that I'm helping.
Speaker 4: But so many of my friends are struggling behind it.
Speaker 4: And some of them don't even get snapped, some of
Speaker 4: them don't lost their jobs. Those are the things that
Speaker 4: you got to think about when you out here celebrating
Speaker 4: on this bullshit. Because let me tell you something, It's
Speaker 4: coming to all dough nexts. It's coming to all dose nexts.
Speaker 4: It's not I can walk in the grocery store, I'm
Speaker 4: blessed and not look twice at a price. I'm okay,
Speaker 4: But Nigga, in the last week, I've been looking like
Speaker 4: damn butter Coast this much.
Speaker 3: Let me go back to Q Puny.
Speaker 4: I literally say I gotta go back to Q pony
Speaker 4: because I got so many people that needs my help.
Speaker 6: Hey, what about when you walk out the grocery do
Speaker 6: and somebody trying to rob you for your grocery. It's
Speaker 6: gonna come to that, It's gone.
Speaker 3: Let me say this to you, when when when you
Speaker 3: take from the poor, they gonna get it. I've been
Speaker 3: that person.
Speaker 4: I've been that person that ran out of the store
Speaker 4: with lookal, I've been that person that ran out of
Speaker 4: the store with balloona and and that other stuff.
Speaker 3: You think they stealing?
Speaker 4: Now you think they're stealing now you said, I don't
Speaker 4: know if y'all notice this morning Walmart telling kirkis turn
Speaker 4: Snap back on because they get they get a tax
Speaker 4: break and they and they revenue with a point some
Speaker 4: billion dollars a month a year or some ship that
Speaker 4: they get from people using snap in Walmart. So it's
Speaker 4: not just affecting us, it's affecting them too because that
Speaker 4: was free money they was getting.
Speaker 7: Also that the Democrats don't cave, I do hold that.
Speaker 7: Have you seen those care prices?
Speaker 6: But they're going up anywhere, So you need going up anyway.
Speaker 7: So what's gonna happen because of the Big Beautiful Bill.
Speaker 6: They're going up anywhere.
Speaker 3: But I feel like if they don't cave, is it
Speaker 3: still gonna go up.
Speaker 6: Yes, they go up anyway because of the the Big Beautiful.
Speaker 7: Bill holds they the same prices.
Speaker 6: Yes they are. They've already spiked in some place.
Speaker 1: The lady says, you have to pay.
Speaker 2: She was paying like three fifty a month and now
Speaker 2: she got to pay two thousand a month for health care.
Speaker 3: I want to ask you that, how do you how
Speaker 3: do you so you do you choose health care? Do
Speaker 3: you choose to eat?
Speaker 6: You choose to eat?
Speaker 3: You choose it.
Speaker 1: It's gonna happen. They're not going to take health care.
Speaker 2: And then they're only gonna go to the doctor when
Speaker 2: they when it's something, when they have to go for
Speaker 2: when they die. I feel like they're going to have
Speaker 2: to do home remedies.
Speaker 8: Yes, the healthcare is gonna go up anyway because the
Speaker 8: Big Beautiful Bill didn't include the.
Speaker 6: Extension of the tax credits to keep the cost down.
Speaker 6: So it's it's going they're.
Speaker 3: Trying to get That's what they're trying to get the extension.
Speaker 3: That's the whole.
Speaker 6: So it's going up anywhere.
Speaker 4: So well, what I'm saying, if they get it, it
Speaker 4: won't go up. What you mean, I mean if the
Speaker 4: Democrats don't cave, if the Demo Democrats.
Speaker 8: Don't care because of the big beautiful bill that it
Speaker 8: didn't include the extension of the.
Speaker 3: Aren't they fighting for them to put the instittion in
Speaker 3: a big, big beauty.
Speaker 6: The premiums hold for a year, like it goes up,
Speaker 6: and it's gonna hold for you up until the election.
Speaker 9: This is what I'm saying that and people he gonna
Speaker 9: that man is gonna make everything fall on itself.
Speaker 8: The premiums are set for a year at this point.
Speaker 8: So it's like, right now what the Democrats holding on for?
Speaker 9: Because next year, I feel like if it's this, then
Speaker 9: it's gonna be something else. It's gonna be something else.
Speaker 9: It's gonna be something else. He's always gonna find a
Speaker 9: way to manipulate so that everybody gives up whatever it
Speaker 9: is that makes that's but.
Speaker 1: It's so many people that's not getting.
Speaker 6: But it is a choice.
Speaker 8: I saw with Jabit the other day, Jake tablet as
Speaker 8: him a simple question he said, you're acknowledging that it's
Speaker 8: a choice between healthcare and people not being able to
Speaker 8: take care of their media needs.
Speaker 7: Right now, right now, that's the point.
Speaker 4: So it is.
Speaker 9: But that's exactly what he wanted the choice to be,
Speaker 9: so that then we would get rid of health care.
Speaker 9: Then it's gonna be something else. There's gonna be something else.
Speaker 9: There's gonna be something else, so that we can always
Speaker 9: have to make the choice. Gotta make the choice.
Speaker 3: That's how it was.
Speaker 4: But this is all to hell the poor too. I mean,
Speaker 4: this is to just to kill the poor, you know,
Speaker 4: make it. I guess they just want to wipe it white.
Speaker 3: And I keep asking.
Speaker 4: I even asked my white friends. I said, can you
Speaker 4: tell your white relatives if this country was all white?
Speaker 3: Well, what y'all gonna eat? Stadium hot dogs? Why people
Speaker 3: ain't got no food? But you know what really pisses
Speaker 3: me off when I.
Speaker 4: See them sitting in Mexican restaurants when I and I
Speaker 4: want to ask them, is this how you feel?
Speaker 3: I mean, tell me how you feel?
Speaker 4: You sitting up here, you know, all the good season
Speaker 4: to ask me. You know, you can't get at the house.
Speaker 4: And I be wanting to ask them that they couldn't
Speaker 4: come in my same way they used to hate niggas
Speaker 4: and then listen to that can Call album.
Speaker 3: It's the same thing they couldn't dance.
Speaker 8: To l G B t Q legislation all got secret boyfriends,
Speaker 8: Joe when you're right right, especially for somebody like this,
Speaker 8: just in general, because I love that no more. I
Speaker 8: don't know why that's still not on Broadway right now.
Speaker 8: But are you trying to entertain here or or make
Speaker 8: people feel uncomfortable all.
Speaker 4: Of the Oh yeah, he wants you to feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 4: He wants you to cry, and if you if you're
Speaker 4: another race, he wants you to get upset.
Speaker 3: He wants you to think. He always want you to think.
Speaker 4: And if you watch this season of The Mispast Shore,
Speaker 4: then where I bust sack around at oh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah yeah. So like he would be in
Speaker 3: my ear and he would keep pushing me and pushing me.
Speaker 4: And my thing is that you know, I had kids
Speaker 4: really young, been through a lot, and he would just
Speaker 4: keep pushing me until I break down.
Speaker 3: Because my mama is one of the biggest.
Speaker 4: People in my life. I can say that did me
Speaker 4: like shit, did not protect me you know, let me
Speaker 4: get less. Just treated me like shit and thought I
Speaker 4: made me think I was not love and he know
Speaker 4: that that's my trigger point and he would be in
Speaker 4: my ill just going on about my mama Mildred to
Speaker 4: the point where this season when it comes out, you know,
Speaker 4: see what okay with season four where your mama I
Speaker 4: hate her? And I had never said I hated my
Speaker 4: mama out loud. I've forgiven my mama because I realized
Speaker 4: it was a generation to curse. You know, everything that
Speaker 4: happened to my mama, she allowed to happen to me,
Speaker 4: and so I forgive her because she didn't know no better.
Speaker 4: But I still have to live with the things that
Speaker 4: she allowed that happened to me that I didn't allow
Speaker 4: to happen to my kids.
Speaker 3: I don't know why my daughter game.
Speaker 6: And it's like.
Speaker 4: You knows.
Speaker 9: Anything that's that's that's the crux of like everything that
Speaker 9: I do and whatever I'm writing, I never like try
Speaker 9: to write from a place of like, oh I got
Speaker 9: a message I want to get out. It's usually because
Speaker 9: I have questions within myself that I got to figure
Speaker 9: out within myself, Like even with this new play or
Speaker 9: every day it was really like it took me seven
Speaker 9: years to write it because I had to grow.
Speaker 7: Sometimes I feel like it's artists.
Speaker 9: We're giving things that were not yet mature enough to
Speaker 9: give out into the earth, which is why I'm like,
Speaker 9: I can't do that microwave arct Sometimes you got to
Speaker 9: do that crock pile right where it's falling off the bone, you.
Speaker 6: Know what I mean.
Speaker 9: And I feel like I had to learn through a
Speaker 9: happy day that happiness was a choice that took forever
Speaker 9: for me to learn.
Speaker 7: The idea that like it was up to me to.
Speaker 4: Choose, don't get Season four of the Court Show is out, Yes, yes,
Speaker 4: it's come, it's out, so and that was me and
Speaker 4: Jordan idea and we teamed up with four ninety five
Speaker 4: and we made it happen so nice.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Well, like I gotta go back to what Georgia said, So, Joe,
Speaker 8: what does radical black joy look like to you right now?
Speaker 6: And how do you protect it in a business that
Speaker 6: profits all black men?
Speaker 7: Come on, right now, it looks like protecting ourselves.
Speaker 9: It looks like discovering radical spaces for us to like
Speaker 9: actually gather and actually have joy, because right now I
Speaker 9: feel like we're in a town where everybody wants to
Speaker 9: do everything on social media, but we forget that the
Speaker 9: people who own social media were at their inauguration. The
Speaker 9: people who own these platforms were at the inauguration. So
Speaker 9: they're like kind of rooting for our downfall. So we
Speaker 9: have to go back to creating gathering spaces for ourselves.
Speaker 9: It looks like, you know, dancing by yourself and looking
Speaker 9: at yourself in the mirror and say, damn, I'm fine,
Speaker 9: you know what I mean. It looks like a soul
Speaker 9: train line. It looks like like like a cookout where
Speaker 9: with some good aspectato salt and some good ass fried chicken.
Speaker 9: It looks like all of us coming together and reminding
Speaker 9: ourselves of our worth and our power and a time
Speaker 9: when we're being told that we are worthless, you.
Speaker 3: Know, literally, because we cared about each other.
Speaker 7: That's sometimes I ain't gonna hold you.
Speaker 9: Sometimes when I feel bad about what's going on right now,
Speaker 9: I'll go back and watch Roots.
Speaker 7: I'd be like, damn, at least there and then and
Speaker 7: then we.
Speaker 9: Want that that power, whatever that strength is that they had,
Speaker 9: because I always get pissed off forever people are like,
Speaker 9: I'm not my answers, is I beat your ass. I'm
Speaker 9: not as weak as them, but actually they were. They
Speaker 9: were the strongest of the strongest to make it over
Speaker 9: on the Middle Passage and to get through months and
Speaker 9: months of starvation and rape and beatings, and you had
Speaker 9: to be literally the physically the strongest of the strongest.
Speaker 7: So that's who we are descendants of.
Speaker 9: And we have to remind ourselves of that in moments
Speaker 9: like this, in a dark moment in our country where
Speaker 9: it seems like nothing is coming for us, the future
Speaker 9: is bleak, we have to remind.
Speaker 7: Us ourselves that all that's built in us, we already
Speaker 7: have it, you know.
Speaker 9: And as far as protecting it and these kind of
Speaker 9: situations in the Hollywood of it all, it's really just
Speaker 9: like writing from an authentic place and knowing that the
Speaker 9: audience that will get it will get it. Like even
Speaker 9: with a Happy Day right now, it was the same
Speaker 9: thing with Ain't No mo It's like it's a very
Speaker 9: specific play for a very specific audience, you know, a
Speaker 9: very specific black audience. But they don't always know when
Speaker 9: a play is happening, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 9: you said, I didn't know that was happening.
Speaker 7: They don't always know what is happening.
Speaker 9: So then what happens is you write this black ass
Speaker 9: material and the seats are filled with mainly white people,
Speaker 9: and all the jokes and all the things and everything
Speaker 9: just goes over their head. So it's like it's important
Speaker 9: for us to find gathering spaces like that as well.
Speaker 8: So yeah, that's I think the only people that can
Speaker 8: say Broadway is black people. I go to a lot
Speaker 8: of Broadway plays, you know what I'm saying. But the
Speaker 8: energy that was around Hamilton that ain't no mores, even
Speaker 8: the Outsiders right now that got black cast and.
Speaker 6: It wicked like stuff like it gotta be diversity on.
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna watch anything if my people is not
Speaker 4: in it, not even a TV show. I need at
Speaker 4: least one person that represents me. And when it feels
Speaker 4: an all white show, I just I'm not interested because
Speaker 4: I won't because if you support those things and those
Speaker 4: shows continue to do well, they're never gonna give all
Speaker 4: actors any work. They're gonna say, well, this is what
Speaker 4: like when we was little, they told you, hey, this
Speaker 4: is how American family is.
Speaker 3: The Brady Bunch. Well we won't growing up like no
Speaker 3: Brady bunch, that ship won't real.
Speaker 4: Then the Jefferson, I mean, then a good time's come
Speaker 4: along you, Oh, somebody who represent where I come from.
Speaker 4: So you know, I just I don't if you don't
Speaker 4: have anything that represent me and now my people, I
Speaker 4: don't watch it and.
Speaker 6: It's I don't understand either.
Speaker 8: And we had these conversations about TV and film, We
Speaker 8: had all of that in the nineties and it was
Speaker 8: super six.
Speaker 6: What happened?
Speaker 7: They built it on our backs and then they got
Speaker 7: rid of us.
Speaker 9: That's what it's just like they deal with a lot
Speaker 9: of living single and then you got friends and then
Speaker 9: you you know what I mean. It's like a lot
Speaker 9: of times it's it's like they want us to be
Speaker 9: the ones to build it up, and then they get
Speaker 9: rid of us like this.
Speaker 7: I don't know if you're watching TV right now, but
Speaker 7: it's white.
Speaker 3: It's it's and I think it has a lot to
Speaker 3: do a lot of black sl for.
Speaker 9: Real, And I think it has a lot to do
Speaker 9: with the political They want to move to wherever the
Speaker 9: political climate is. So we have to be the ones
Speaker 9: once again making sure that we're protecting our black joy
Speaker 9: and our safe faces that support black art.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know I have the key too.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 6: Black people don't be supporting like this should.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but they talk about it, you know. And I
Speaker 4: had to tell people this one miss past show came out.
Speaker 4: They was like, oh my god, this is not a
Speaker 4: representation of my family. And then Drum would get mad
Speaker 4: at me because I would go online. I said, look, bitch,
Speaker 4: I don't know you. If this don't click with you,
Speaker 4: then move the fuck on because I'm going for people
Speaker 4: who gets me. And then eventually by the second seaton,
Speaker 4: oh my god, I love this show. But I was like,
Speaker 4: you never see white people online beating down white shows
Speaker 4: if they don't like them. They don't like but we
Speaker 4: quick to tell you we don't like something that black
Speaker 4: people create. And now I tell people, I say, you
Speaker 4: black people listening today, y'all never go to the loeu
Speaker 4: of Vauton or Gucci and say you don't like that crap.
Speaker 4: You just don't buy it or you can't afford to buy.
Speaker 4: But as soon as a black person put out a product,
Speaker 4: you kills it. Instead of just saying or inboxing a
Speaker 4: person telling them what you don't like about, you go
Speaker 4: public and want to destroy the black person from out
Speaker 4: from inside. I never could plain about black product. If
Speaker 4: you sell me something that I don't like, I keep
Speaker 4: my mouth shut. One you're black. Two, I hope you succeee.
Speaker 4: Three I ain't gonna buy you shit no more. But
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna talk about you publicly because white people
Speaker 4: don't do that shit. You never see white people on
Speaker 4: Lie Dog in our white shows. But let a black
Speaker 4: show come along. Even if I don't like a black show,
Speaker 4: I would let it play in the black background because
Speaker 4: you black.
Speaker 9: I want to say this one thing about the Mispastor
Speaker 9: and why Miss Patty so revolutionary is in that sitcom too.
Speaker 9: It's because, like when we shot that pilot, like we said,
Speaker 9: that's not something that you normally see on TV. When
Speaker 9: we shot that pilot, we shot it in la and
Speaker 9: we shot it on the same sound stage as Julia.
Speaker 9: I don't know if y'all know what Julia is, but
Speaker 9: that that was a Diane Carroll show that in the
Speaker 9: sixth seieson, and that was the first time that a
Speaker 9: black woman was on television where she wasn't playing a maid,
Speaker 9: she was actually playing a nurse. And she had she
Speaker 9: was a single mother, She had a son and my
Speaker 9: mom had a Julia dog that was big that we
Speaker 9: shot on the exact same sounds ages Julia and Diane
Speaker 9: Carroll was known for saying that she wasn't a fan
Speaker 9: of that show in the sixties because she felt like
Speaker 9: she had to play a white Negro.
Speaker 7: She felt like she had to play a palatable black
Speaker 7: woman for this audience.
Speaker 9: So I remember that we were a Debbie Allen directed
Speaker 9: our pilot, and I remember she was like, Jordan, you
Speaker 9: want to go to work with me one day? And
Speaker 9: I was like yeah. She was like, well, on the
Speaker 9: way there, I gotta go. I gotta stop and go
Speaker 9: say goodbye to Diane Carroll. I was like about it,
Speaker 9: Daran Carroll, and she stopped in front of this apartment
Speaker 9: building and she went upstairs and she came down, little
Speaker 9: tears in her eyes, and said, all right, let's go
Speaker 9: to work. I realized that Diane Carroll was passing away
Speaker 9: and we were going to work on the same sound
Speaker 9: stage as Julia, and we were doing the complete opposite
Speaker 9: of this palatable black woman.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 9: Yeah, And that just felt like so cosmic in a
Speaker 9: really beautiful way. So I feel like I'm proud of
Speaker 9: the work that we five seasons is crazy.
Speaker 5: But I'm very proud of Jordan. You You're so young
Speaker 5: doing this, doing what you do.
Speaker 4: I think this is it's dope, and I'm glad that
Speaker 4: you did not let anybody steal your joy on your way,
Speaker 4: you know, during your journey, because you're too young, because
Speaker 4: you're what they call what they call it green in
Speaker 4: the like. You know, I love that you gotta learn
Speaker 4: to stick to and I know if you got to
Speaker 4: get home and see about your family because you're trying
Speaker 4: to go.
Speaker 1: But this did y'all.
Speaker 8: Know I was I was.
Speaker 1: Attacking.
Speaker 3: I forget what the I won't say because I got
Speaker 3: mental palls.
Speaker 8: No, it was not talking about and he said you
Speaker 8: used to go hungry.
Speaker 6: At some point you started eating and couldn't stop after That.
Speaker 3: Keeps my ass from the front about is crazy.
Speaker 1: I don't know what he was asking about season five.
Speaker 1: I think that's no.
Speaker 3: She was talking about about green and oh yeah, look,
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: But then you know, Jordan has been awesome and I
Speaker 4: just I love him, you know, And I don't know
Speaker 4: if we will ever do another project together. But Jordan
Speaker 4: has gotten me over so many mental hamps where I
Speaker 4: thought I couldn't do it, and he put it in
Speaker 4: me that I could do it. I mean, I couldn't
Speaker 4: act with ship and he never said you couldn't act,
Speaker 4: but he's like, you need some help, you know, And
Speaker 4: it was it was. It was such a joy working
Speaker 4: with somebody who don't judge you, who instead of putting you.
Speaker 3: Down, they was they.
Speaker 4: He came along and fixed the things that were broken
Speaker 4: with me, and he understood me from the front, from
Speaker 4: the beginning, and that is hard to do.
Speaker 3: And you want, you want to know something. Every time I.
Speaker 4: Get a project, I want Jordan on it. But I
Speaker 4: know I can't help Jordan on it because he don't need.
Speaker 3: To be on it.
Speaker 4: You know, we've learned from each other and we can
Speaker 4: go off onto the world and make our own thing.
Speaker 4: But he's my comfort zone. And every time he was like,
Speaker 4: well who you want to write? It in my mind
Speaker 4: goes Jordan and other like bitch Lee Jordan alone. He's
Speaker 4: creating gay plays and all of this other.
Speaker 6: But think about the.
Speaker 3: Ord And I try to tell him out, uh uh,
Speaker 3: what's what's.
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: What's a guy named Adam sound And.
Speaker 4: What I loved about Ali Sounder He put on his
Speaker 4: Adam Sounder whatever.
Speaker 3: You know what I loved about him. He put everybody on,
Speaker 3: and every time he got a project, he continued to
Speaker 3: put his friends on and they all got rich together.
Speaker 3: And that's what I be telling Joyd.
Speaker 4: I said, even though, if you don't come back and
Speaker 4: use me, use those writers that we start with, use.
Speaker 3: Though, because they understand you.
Speaker 4: So keep your people clothes that understand you and continue
Speaker 4: to build.
Speaker 3: And that's that's the only thing I ever asked him for.
Speaker 4: I said, I know, I'll be trying to tell you
Speaker 4: need to let me be execuve, producing on show up
Speaker 4: and just help me get a check.
Speaker 7: But he was.
Speaker 3: Everybody else do it common people who have shows put
Speaker 3: my kids on. They be like, put your kids on,
Speaker 3: and they won't even put my kids on. If you
Speaker 3: ask me to put somebody on, I'm gonna put them on, because.
Speaker 7: If they're good at their job, you're not just giving
Speaker 7: random people.
Speaker 9: Because one time we did that and we had to
Speaker 9: remember they had to let somebody go that same day.
Speaker 3: But oh yeah, but he was on.
Speaker 4: But were as we in this industry, we gotta start
Speaker 4: looking out for each other because so many times you
Speaker 4: go on these sets and they white when people come
Speaker 4: to make like, God damn yo said it's black gay
Speaker 4: Puerto Rican.
Speaker 3: All kind of people came women camera. I don't play,
Speaker 3: I do not. I have picklem and joy and get
Speaker 3: on me. Be like you being every damn to port me.
Speaker 3: You would not watch the.
Speaker 4: Mispass show in the week is done wrong because miss
Speaker 4: Pat don't Walter run that touch that way? Hey, more glue,
Speaker 4: more jam mo something, because I care about everybody. On
Speaker 4: this season, we had an episode about Ice and the
Speaker 4: Mexican lady and they just threw the makeup on them
Speaker 4: and I was like, why she greasy? And they was like,
Speaker 4: well that's how I said, that's not how they look pretty.
Speaker 4: And I took the makeup people. I said, you're gonna
Speaker 4: fucking fix her face and they fixed it, because why
Speaker 4: am I'm looking good and background not looking good?
Speaker 7: Not on my show.
Speaker 4: Everybody gonna get fat and everybody gonna look good and everybody.
Speaker 3: Gonna work popping up.

Speaker 3: of that set.
Speaker 6: Why the black makeup ball thought Mexicans was greasy, right,
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 9: I think it was that it was the problem because
Speaker 9: a lot of times with camera makeup, it looks good
Speaker 9: off camera, but then when you get on camera you' be.
Speaker 4: Like whoa yes, and so to me, I don't think
Speaker 4: they saw it off camera, but when when you put
Speaker 4: them lights on it, she was very greased, and I
Speaker 4: was like, why you got her looking like? That's like
Speaker 4: what I said? No, I said, come on baby, and
Speaker 4: she was a backup. I said, come on baby, we're
Speaker 4: gonna fix this. And I never told her she agrees.
Speaker 4: I said, they need to touch you up.
Speaker 6: Did she speak English?
Speaker 3: She spoke English?
Speaker 4: But then what you weren't gonna make her look like that?
