Speaker 1: Simp favorite, thank you so much. Taken See everybody, we
Speaker 1: have got a great show for you tonight. Donald Trump
Speaker 1: is masta of his domain. Amazon has ruined Lord of
Speaker 1: the Rings, and Runny Chang will break down the most
Speaker 1: over analyzed film footage since the Kennedy Assassin Nation. So
Speaker 1: let's do these people. Let's jump straight into today's headlines,
Speaker 1: all right. Before we get into the big stories, let's
Speaker 1: catch up on a few other things going on in
Speaker 1: the world. The FDA has officially authorized new COVID boosters
Speaker 1: that for the first time, target the Omicron variants. And
Speaker 1: I'm so excited because this means we can finally fight
Speaker 1: Omicron just eight months after everyone got it. Any case
Speaker 1: you're counting, That is now the fourth COVID shots, which
Speaker 1: means one more and we all get a free sandwich. Yeah. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: in climate news, the West coast of America is currently
Speaker 1: experiencing a record breaking heatwave, with temperatures in some cities
Speaker 1: topping a hundred and fifteen degrees. Yeah, it is so
Speaker 1: hot in California right now that people are begging Harry
Speaker 1: Styles to spit on them. Please Harry, it's oh. In
Speaker 1: international news, it is now being reported that, due to
Speaker 1: global sanctions, Russia is being forced to buy ammunition from
Speaker 1: North Korea. Yeah, which I think we can all agree
Speaker 1: means you're pretty desperate. Yeah, like you have to go
Speaker 1: to North Korea because no one else will sell. It's
Speaker 1: like only a matter of time before Putin can only
Speaker 1: get haircuts from North Korea. That's gonna be fun nowhere else.
Speaker 1: All right, But let's move on some of the biggest
Speaker 1: stories of the day, starting with the only man in
Speaker 1: America who scrapbooking hobby could land him in prison, Donald J. Trump. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the J stands for January six. There have been some
Speaker 1: major developments in the FBI's investigation into America's former president,
Speaker 1: so let's catch up on all of it in another
Speaker 1: installments of America's Most tremendously wanted. Ye. Ever since the
Speaker 1: FBI raided the broom closet where Donald Trump was keeping
Speaker 1: America's most important national security secrets, we've all been wondering
Speaker 1: what exactly Trump was hiding there, And over the weekend
Speaker 1: we finally got a detailed rundown of what the FBI
Speaker 1: took away. There were thirty one documents labeled confidential, there
Speaker 1: were fifty four labeled secrets, and eighteen labeled top secrets. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and even better than that, agents found those documents intermingled
Speaker 1: in the same boxes as magazine clippings and clothing. So
Speaker 1: I guess Trump has a legal problem and a hoarding problem.
Speaker 1: Like what it is as it was, like after the
Speaker 1: FBI has done with Trump, they need to send in
Speaker 1: Marie Condo, you know, just to be like, does this
Speaker 1: seven copy of Playboy spark joy? Donald Daddy? It sparked
Speaker 1: so much joy, so much joy. But even more concerning
Speaker 1: is that the FBI also found dozens of classified folders
Speaker 1: that were empty, which obviously raises the question where are
Speaker 1: the documents from the folders? Are they in other boxes?
Speaker 1: Did he lend them to Saudi Arabia? Or maybe maybe
Speaker 1: it's more innocent, Maybe Trump just keeps a bunch of
Speaker 1: folders label classified so he can give them some friends
Speaker 1: with photo copies of his butt inside. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: a good joke. That's a good jockey, like what's in here. Ah.
Speaker 1: It's also possible the intelligence community didn't trust Trump with
Speaker 1: classified information, so they just gave him anti folders. We
Speaker 1: don't we don't know. It could just be like, sure,
Speaker 1: these documents are so secret, we made them invisible. He's
Speaker 1: just like incredible, just like all the love letters Milannia
Speaker 1: sends me. I get it, totally get it. But nobody
Speaker 1: knows what Trump was doing with these files and folders,
Speaker 1: and now it might be a lot longer until we
Speaker 1: find out. The criminal investigation into those classified documents found
Speaker 1: at maral Lago is temporarily on hold as a result
Speaker 1: of this twenty four page order where a Florida a
Speaker 1: Real judge granted former President Trump's request that authorizes the
Speaker 1: appointment of a special master an independent observer, to review
Speaker 1: what the FBI seized from the Trump estate last month.
Speaker 1: The special master would separate any items that might be
Speaker 1: protected by claims of attorney client privilege or executive privilege.
Speaker 1: The judge said the deadline of Friday for both sides
Speaker 1: in this case, Trump and the d J to propose
Speaker 1: a list of candidates they want to be Special Master. Now.
Speaker 1: The judge also said in this ruling that DJ cannot
Speaker 1: use these documents at all as part of its criminal
Speaker 1: investigation until this review is completed. Yeah, that's right. A
Speaker 1: judge in Florida has decided to appoint an independent observer
Speaker 1: to go through all of the documents and determine which
Speaker 1: ones are off limits to investigate it. And that person
Speaker 1: is called a special Masta, which I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1: When I first heard it sounded pretty cool. It's like
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is getting a special Masters, like he's a
Speaker 1: bottle lun Kong fucus. It's gonna be like, hm, i
Speaker 1: am your Special Master, and you Donald at my students,
Speaker 1: like Greg, can you teach me chop sticks? And what's
Speaker 1: gonna be really interesting is who they pick for this job.
Speaker 1: Because the judge gave each side until Friday to submit
Speaker 1: a list of suggestions together. Right, so basically the judges going, Trump,
Speaker 1: you sent us a list of who you think should
Speaker 1: review the documents, and then, like the Justice Department, you
Speaker 1: do the same thing. And then I guess the judges
Speaker 1: hoping that they will overlap, but I don't know. I
Speaker 1: feel like the Department of Justice is going to submit
Speaker 1: the names of like former attorney generals and FBI directors,
Speaker 1: and then the list from Trump's side is going to
Speaker 1: be like Jared the Hamburglar, a paper shred on top
Speaker 1: of the toilets. You know, but you know, once again,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has exposed the part of America that I'm
Speaker 1: willing to bet nobody knew existed. Nobody did you know
Speaker 1: about a special master, any of you. I didn't even
Speaker 1: know it was an option. I've watched ten million hours
Speaker 1: of law and order. I know about penas. I don't
Speaker 1: know about breaking the chain of custody, objection, sustained over rules,
Speaker 1: side buying my chambers, But not once have I heard
Speaker 1: the term special master. But once again, thanks to Trump,
Speaker 1: because of his hard work and dedication to doing crimes,
Speaker 1: we've all learned something new today. And I said, thank you,
Speaker 1: Mr President. That's right. But let's move on to some
Speaker 1: international news from the American Trump to the British one
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Back in July, he was forced
Speaker 1: to resign due to a long list of scandals. You know,
Speaker 1: he was having parties during his own COVID lockdown. He
Speaker 1: was receiving shady loans, he was promoting people that he
Speaker 1: knew accused of sexual harassment. You name it, he did it.
Speaker 1: He's like a one man Shonda Rhymes show. So finally
Speaker 1: his party forced Boris to resign and today they appointed
Speaker 1: the new leader of the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom
Speaker 1: has a new Prime minister this morning. Liz trust officially
Speaker 1: took over from Boris Johnson today after a meeting with
Speaker 1: Queen Elizabeth at Belmore Castle in Scotland. We have huge
Speaker 1: reserves of talent, of energy and determination. I am confident
Speaker 1: that together we can ride out the storm. Trust Inherits
Speaker 1: a nightmare war in Europe, a biting cost of living crisis.
Speaker 1: The country braced for a winter of potential blackouts and
Speaker 1: fuel poverty. Yeah, once again, the United Kingdom is bringing
Speaker 1: a woman into power only when things really shit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they do this all the time. Margaret Thatcher, Theresa May,
Speaker 1: Mary Poppins. The list is endless. That's why it feels
Speaker 1: good to live in a country like America. It is
Speaker 1: so feminist. It won't put a woman in charge ever
Speaker 1: just in case things get really bad. You welcome, ladies,
Speaker 1: You're welcome. And you know, I gotta say, it's weird
Speaker 1: how the British system just springs a new prime minister,
Speaker 1: aren't you, like, like, you know, when when they picked
Speaker 1: the new doctor who, there's all the speculation and debate
Speaker 1: and the whole country's weighing in on it. But for
Speaker 1: the new prime minister, they're just like meet Liz. She's
Speaker 1: running the country now. So I wish the best of
Speaker 1: luck to Prime Minister truth and from now on until she,
Speaker 1: I guess, resigns in disgrace, because that's what happens. You know,
Speaker 1: that's what happens to British prime ministers. They never get
Speaker 1: to the end of their term. You just serve until
Speaker 1: some ship goes down and you have to apologize and leave.
Speaker 1: In fact, you know what, to make things simpler, the
Speaker 1: new Prime minister should just start their term with an
Speaker 1: apology speech. You know, it is truly an honor to
Speaker 1: be taking this job that I will be forced to
Speaker 1: resign from within a year. I'm excited to leave this
Speaker 1: nation and I'm ashamed for the terrible things that I
Speaker 1: will do that forced me from office. But until that happens.
Speaker 1: I have many ideas for this country. I want to
Speaker 1: rebuild the roads. I want to expand national healthcare. And
Speaker 1: look at that. Oh boy, there's the scandal already. It's
Speaker 1: been a privilege all a lifetime to sell of you.
Speaker 1: Thanks everyone, cheery by everyone. Fine, all right, finally let's
Speaker 1: move on to some big entertainment news. Amazon Prime Video
Speaker 1: has announced that its new Lord of the Rings prequel
Speaker 1: series is it's most watched program ever, with more than
Speaker 1: twenty five million viewers checking out the show on his
Speaker 1: first day. Yeah, but it turns out some of those
Speaker 1: people might be hate watching. Amazon is suspending reviews of
Speaker 1: its new Lord of the Ring series on Rotten Tomatoes.
Speaker 1: It says the seventy two hour hold is to make
Speaker 1: sure the reviews for Rings of Power are legit and
Speaker 1: prevent internet rolls from bringing down their score. Amazon says
Speaker 1: reviews are being dragged down by fans who are upset
Speaker 1: about the show's diverse cast, which includes black actors playing
Speaker 1: elves and dwarves. These viewers say it's unrealistic for Tolkien's
Speaker 1: creatures to be non white. Yeah, I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1: This is a tough one. This is a tough one.
Speaker 1: I mean, on the one hand, everyone wants diversity in
Speaker 1: shows that we create. But on the other hand, you
Speaker 1: gotta admit it's a bit unrealistic to say that there
Speaker 1: were black people in this white guy's imagination, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I can get on board with
Speaker 1: a show or a world where magical creatures cast spells
Speaker 1: and fight undead armies for control of a piece of
Speaker 1: jewelry that can turn them into gods. But if those
Speaker 1: creatures have a tan, it's just not believable anymore, It
Speaker 1: really isn't you first, This is this is so hypocritical.
Speaker 1: You're gonna get mad about seeing a black Dwarf and
Speaker 1: Lord of the Rings, but you're fine with seeing a
Speaker 1: Kevin Hart movie. Be consistent. He's so tiny. Also, by
Speaker 1: the way, I don't understand why people are this angry.
Speaker 1: It's not like all the characters turned black, all right,
Speaker 1: There's one black dwarf, a couple of black ELPs. It's
Speaker 1: not like the NBA calmed down like, oh there's black whether. Yes,
Speaker 1: you know. It's the same way people were losing their
Speaker 1: ship because of the one guy in House of Dragons.
Speaker 1: You know, people losing them Oh, well, it only takes
Speaker 1: one to lower the property values. You know, the House
Speaker 1: of Dragon used to be worth four in a thousand.
Speaker 1: Now I don't know anymore. And I know what people
Speaker 1: are saying. People are saying that the books are supposed
Speaker 1: to be based on medieval Europe, so having black characters
Speaker 1: isn't realistic. But guys, nobody's watching Lord of the Rings
Speaker 1: for realism. Okay, they're watching it because they didn't have
Speaker 1: sex in high school. That's the only reason it's not realistic.
Speaker 1: I won't say this stuff. I will say this, apart
Speaker 1: from the racism thing, I kind of agree. I don't
Speaker 1: think it makes sense to have black characters in Lord
Speaker 1: of the Rings. Yeah, I said. The whole series is
Speaker 1: about seeing danger and then running towards it. That's some
Speaker 1: white people ship. And the reason the reason there were
Speaker 1: no black people in Middle Earth is because they saw
Speaker 1: the Giant Eye talking out of a volcano and they
Speaker 1: were like, oh, hell, no, we are moving to Africa
Speaker 1: because this ship here. No, no, we do not need
Speaker 1: to be here. We're gonna Africa. Were totally safe. All right,
Speaker 1: that's it for the headlines. But before we go to
Speaker 1: a break, it's time to check in on all the
Speaker 1: latest social media trens without very own ronnie checking everybody
Speaker 1: that you ever. Are you guys ready, you guys very
Speaker 1: social media? You guys don't hear some social media? You
Speaker 1: guys ready to lose a few? I Q boys? It alright?
Speaker 1: First stop, what's training is a lot of the rings
Speaker 1: or as as. I like to call it Game of
Speaker 1: Thrones without the incest. I mean, look, I know it's
Speaker 1: supposed to be woke, and he woke on this show.
Speaker 1: You know us these stop mode or hate or whatever,
Speaker 1: but look, can we just give this one to white people?
Speaker 1: All right? Let's diversify the real places first and then
Speaker 1: we can't worry about the white fantasy places later. Okay,
Speaker 1: that being said, where the are the Asians? Okay? Because
Speaker 1: the middle of Naria the West Wing, no Asians, no Asians.
Speaker 1: The closest thing we have to Asians and American fantasy
Speaker 1: is spark in Star Trek. Okay, yeah, he's Asian. I
Speaker 1: know he's white, but he's Asian gay, He's super smart,
Speaker 1: he dresses like an emperor, he's got a bowl haircut,
Speaker 1: and he knows the pressure points in the neck. Right,
Speaker 1: Live long and prosper even talks like confusius. Okay, I
Speaker 1: just want to see some Asian elves and what else?
Speaker 1: What else is trending? Oh? Yeah, everyone's on the internet
Speaker 1: trying to figure out whether Harry Styles spit on Chris
Speaker 1: Pine at a movie premier. Yeah, and by the way,
Speaker 1: this one Asian here, one Asian here. There's more Asians
Speaker 1: in this Harry Style spitting video. Then six Low the
Speaker 1: Rings movies and the TV series. You know, Ronnie actually
Speaker 1: actually saw this trending online and I saw the video
Speaker 1: and like, what what happened here? Dude? I don't know. Trevor,
Speaker 1: do you think I care about this celebrity crap? You
Speaker 1: think I stay up at night reading about how Florence
Speaker 1: Pew was upset with Olivia Wild Or you think I
Speaker 1: spent hours trying to figure out why Olivia said Shellaboth
Speaker 1: was fired and really he quit? Like what kind of
Speaker 1: pathetic loser would be up at foy and reading about
Speaker 1: how Jason Sudek is serve Olivia while divorce papers on
Speaker 1: stage in the movie's press conference. I mean, what sad
Speaker 1: piece of ship reads article after article about how Olivia's
Speaker 1: now dating Harry Styles, and we all get slowly sucked
Speaker 1: into this Florence puniverse. It's actually disgustingly stupid. How much
Speaker 1: time people are spending on this or I get a life.
Speaker 1: You know. For someone who says they don't know a
Speaker 1: lot about this, it really seems like you know a
Speaker 1: lot about this, Like you just took us through the
Speaker 1: whole story. So so did did Harry Restyles spit on
Speaker 1: Crispine or not? Dude? I don't know, and I don't care. Alright.
Speaker 1: What I do know is that most people in the
Speaker 1: world would love to have Harry Styles spit on there alright.
Speaker 1: Anyone in this audience would open the mouth and gladly
Speaker 1: have Harry Styles spit down the gartlet any day of
Speaker 1: the week. All right, yeah, all of you all that
Speaker 1: will open them up and say, please feed me, King Styles,
Speaker 1: feed me if you're sliver right into my mouth. Who here?
Speaker 1: We don't want that because people love Harry. People love Harry.
Speaker 1: No one can do He can't do any wrong. Have
Speaker 1: you seen what these desperate people tweet about him? Look
Speaker 1: at his desperate president here? Top three one direction members
Speaker 1: in order, Harry Styles, Harry Styles, Harry Styles stole standing
Speaker 1: for life, all right, that's what these thing losers are
Speaker 1: saying on the internet desperate much. He's not gonna spit
Speaker 1: in your mouth. Trevor. All right, First of all, you
Speaker 1: don't know that. Second of all was just a joke. Okay,
Speaker 1: you're right, You're right. But you know what I you know, Okay,
Speaker 1: I know that all this ship is great publicity. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't even know about this movie. But now I
Speaker 1: know about this movie. It's given me an idea about
Speaker 1: how we should be promoting this show. Okay, Trevor, No, Trevor, no,
Speaker 1: just hear me out here. I'll spin your mouth and
Speaker 1: then you serve me if the boss pay for this. No, no,
Speaker 1: and then we've got daily running shutting. Everybody does that
Speaker 1: need springing back? Might be spreading. We're we're talking about
Speaker 1: small talk and all the small stop, felt away, lost, lost, sitting,
Speaker 1: Welcome back to your day show. Of all the little
Speaker 1: life skills that we need to get through the day,
Speaker 1: the most annoying one is making small talk. But is
Speaker 1: small talk more important than we think? Well, Michael Costa
Speaker 1: when to find out. As we re enter society for
Speaker 1: the teenth time, the workforce is returning to the office
Speaker 1: and people have to do the grossest activity makes small talk.
Speaker 1: So I spoke to the public to see if it
Speaker 1: was time to end this terrible type of conversation. Is
Speaker 1: there anything worse than small talk? It's the worst. It's
Speaker 1: the worst worst. It's like the awkward phase. I don't
Speaker 1: really care about your day most of the time. It
Speaker 1: makes me nervous because if it sucks, how do you
Speaker 1: feel your individual small talk skills have gotten since the pandemic.
Speaker 1: Everyone's just awkward. I forgot how to talk to people,
Speaker 1: So what do you do? Try not to talk to people.
Speaker 1: I will find a friend at a party and just
Speaker 1: sit myself and then what if we're at the park?
Speaker 1: Are we going to small talk? If I don't know?
Speaker 1: You know, I keep it moving. Clearly, we all hated
Speaker 1: small talk, so I wasn't gonna make anyone suffer any longer.
Speaker 1: Call this small talk. You know, let's not do small
Speaker 1: talk for a second? Okay, okay, um? Odd? Real? Is
Speaker 1: God real? I want to get to the good stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: will you tell me about your worst childhood trauma? Oh no,
Speaker 1: It's clear everyone preferred my conversational approach. However, some see
Speaker 1: the benefits to small talk, like psychology professor Tara Wells
Speaker 1: from Barnard College, So I met with her to go
Speaker 1: deep about why she likes to keep things on the surface.
Speaker 1: It's really important that we engage in small talk because
Speaker 1: it's how we connect as humans, and I appreciate how
Speaker 1: important it is for us in communication. You appreciate the
Speaker 1: most awkward moment of all social interaction. It has kind
Speaker 1: of a negative connotation. We think it's superficial and it's
Speaker 1: just kind of, you know, mindless and a waste of time.
Speaker 1: What has happened to small talk since the pandemic started
Speaker 1: the past two years have pretty much decimated small talk
Speaker 1: in a number of ways. I mean, when we talk
Speaker 1: to people face to face, we use the whole body.
Speaker 1: There's little a slight time lag in zoom, and in
Speaker 1: those few seconds we tend to think of something negative.
Speaker 1: So someone pauses, yes, exactly exactly should I put my
Speaker 1: shirt back on? That type of thing? Yeah, So many
Speaker 1: people are feeling kind of very socially awkward, not knowing
Speaker 1: what to say, also wearing masks because we connect with
Speaker 1: their facial expressions regularly express yeah like this like this,
Speaker 1: did you feel connected to me? Then? No? Interesting? What
Speaker 1: happens is we we oftentimes mirror our our facial features.
Speaker 1: So what's wrong with this jumping into the important stuff? Well,
Speaker 1: you know small talk is in therapy. Okay, it's not therapy.
Speaker 1: It's kind of easy to blame the pandemic, but in
Speaker 1: a lot of ways we were headed here already. The
Speaker 1: generation younger than me is the most medicated, the most
Speaker 1: socially anxious, having the least amount of sex. Is that
Speaker 1: connected to the importance of small talk? I think it
Speaker 1: can be because even before the pandemic we were kind
Speaker 1: of losing that face to face contact. We don't get
Speaker 1: the same psychological and emotional benefits when we just respond
Speaker 1: to a text or like a post on social media.
Speaker 1: Are we in a small talk crisis? Wow? She really
Speaker 1: made small talk seem important. It made me realize that
Speaker 1: maybe even I could get a little better at it.
Speaker 1: If I need to get better at small talk, who
Speaker 1: do I practice too? So you can practice in the mirror,
Speaker 1: or you could also get a small talk practice buddy
Speaker 1: st PB. Just go there and be curious to get
Speaker 1: to know other people, but also know that you're going
Speaker 1: to be awkward and it's okay. And what if I
Speaker 1: feel the responsibility to initiate conversation simply starting out, Hi, Michael,
Speaker 1: I don't think i've met you yet. What's your name? Hi?
Speaker 1: I'm Michael. What's your name? I haven't met you yet.
Speaker 1: Have a little bit of lightness and intonation. Hi, I'm Michael.
Speaker 1: What's your name? Hi, I'm Michael. What's your name? You
Speaker 1: don't want to sound too sexy, though, Michael, what's your name? Yeah?
Speaker 1: It was too sexy, too much? OK. I gotta I
Speaker 1: gotta practice with Professor Wells's instructions, I practice my small
Speaker 1: talk to do my part to end this conversational crisis. Hello,
Speaker 1: I'm you. Who are Who's Michael? Hi? I'm I'm hot outside? Hello?
Speaker 1: How are you too loud? Yeah? Lake Superior is the
Speaker 1: biggest of the Great Lakes. That incident, Why would I
Speaker 1: say something? Hi's pretty hot outside? Huh, that's a good hello?
Speaker 1: How are you? Hello? What is your hometown? After weeks
Speaker 1: of talking to my reflection, my dog, and hiding from
Speaker 1: that coworker, I tried to talk to you in the elevator,
Speaker 1: I was finally ready to take my small talk on
Speaker 1: a test run. So the weather is cloudy today, Huh?
Speaker 1: Have you seen the latest spider Man movie. Hey, you
Speaker 1: wear that yellow really well? Oh my god, Brian Park,
Speaker 1: It's like turned down the music already. I feel like
Speaker 1: there was too many things at once. How did that
Speaker 1: make you feel? Um? Overwhelmed? But I'm vibing. Wow, that's
Speaker 1: a beautiful building. Yeah, you know what isn't beautiful? The
Speaker 1: HPV and my body? Wow? You like sports, Evan, I
Speaker 1: do like sports? Yeah? Cool? Which one of your parents
Speaker 1: do you love more? Oh my god, my small talk
Speaker 1: wasn't perfect, But to my surprise, I actually had some
Speaker 1: good conversations that didn't get super weird. How are you
Speaker 1: enjoying New York? It's a lot to take in. It's
Speaker 1: definitely different from where I'm from, Memphis, Tennessee. Hey, I
Speaker 1: feel like we just had a nice conversation and maybe
Speaker 1: the small talk was the bridge that got us there.
Speaker 1: I think so. And I didn't have to even bring
Speaker 1: up my HPV. He didn't have to bring that up
Speaker 1: at all. Small talk on three one two three small talk?
Speaker 1: Do I love small talk? No? Do I understand why
Speaker 1: we need it? Fine? Do I have any big plans
Speaker 1: this weekend? Well? Yes I do. Thanks for asking, got
Speaker 1: a baby small talk expert? Thank you so much for
Speaker 1: about Michaels. They choose. But when we come back, Sherry

Speaker 1: you didn't explain like way exactly. I was just trying
Speaker 1: to situate the whole experience. No, No, I do grown
Speaker 1: men now when I have to interview, Yeah, that's what
Speaker 1: I do. I don't do Teddy Bears anymore? Surever? What? No, sir?
Speaker 1: Oh you it feels like you were made for this rule.
Speaker 1: Like people love you on TV. You act you, you're
Speaker 1: you're in comedy. But this is a different type of job.
Speaker 1: Because it is your show. It's gonna be daily. You're
Speaker 1: gonna be talking about everything. Let's talk about that part
Speaker 1: of the show because you know you you're gonna be
Speaker 1: in daytime TV where a lot of people go, oh,
Speaker 1: don't do politics, and you know, don't do certain parts
Speaker 1: of comedy. And it feels like you're bringing everything that
Speaker 1: makes you who you are to the show. Tell me
Speaker 1: a little bit about that. I am, you know what,
Speaker 1: because I have I love politics. I could sit and
Speaker 1: talk about but I'm very clear. My show is joy,
Speaker 1: fun and laughter. Because we go through so much in
Speaker 1: our day, I think we get desensitized. And I want
Speaker 1: you to be able to come because they can get
Speaker 1: it from you. They can get the news from the
Speaker 1: view from Wolf Blitzer. But I want you to come
Speaker 1: to my show and laugh. I want you to have
Speaker 1: a good time. That's all I want. And I just
Speaker 1: have the sincess that need. We're both stand up comments.
Speaker 1: I have to make you laugh and so if that's
Speaker 1: what you want, I want you to turn into Shary,
Speaker 1: which is gonna be tuning into the show. We're gonna
Speaker 1: be laughing. You also gonna be showcasing comedians, which which
Speaker 1: I love. Like you have a special segment on the
Speaker 1: show full stand up comedian specific series Laugh Lounge, because
Speaker 1: I have been a struggling comedian, like my higher life.
Speaker 1: I used to go and I would get bumped by
Speaker 1: Tommy Davidson, Marlon Wayans, all of them, and I would
Speaker 1: just sit there till one in the morning and I
Speaker 1: would play in front of one person and I go,
Speaker 1: if somebody would just give me a chance, And that
Speaker 1: is what I want to do with comments. I know
Speaker 1: so many comms. I love that. Yes, that is my
Speaker 1: missing that, you know, because you know, you know there
Speaker 1: are comics around Trevor who just they just need the exposure.
Speaker 1: But they can't sit on the couch, you know how
Speaker 1: that that world is. But you can come and sit
Speaker 1: with me and you make people laugh and hopefully that
Speaker 1: will open up. Like what Johnny Carson used to do.
Speaker 1: I did it with you know, Jay Leno. He had
Speaker 1: me to stand out and it changed my world. It
Speaker 1: feels like you have, you know, an energy about you
Speaker 1: that is all about positivity, because it's not just about laughing.
Speaker 1: You know, even on even on the View, you had
Speaker 1: your moments where you would go really deep, but for
Speaker 1: the most part, you found a reason to laugh. You
Speaker 1: found a reason to smile, You found a reason to
Speaker 1: make people feel good about themselves and the show that
Speaker 1: you're in. You know, for for a lot of daytime shows,
Speaker 1: some people will say, oh, it's it's gonna be gossipy only,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be negative only. But you've never been that
Speaker 1: kind of person. It's almost like you have a joyous
Speaker 1: way of seeing whatever is happening in the world. I do.
Speaker 1: I just I've just grown up going you got it.
Speaker 1: There's a silver lining and everything. You just have to
Speaker 1: know how to find it. And I am a woman
Speaker 1: of a certain age, and I want women to look
Speaker 1: at me and go, if Sherry can do it, if
Speaker 1: it can happen for Sherry, it can happen for you too.
Speaker 1: I used to struggle, so I know this, you know.
Speaker 1: I want people to know that joy. I want people
Speaker 1: to get past the fear because I'm a big I'm
Speaker 1: a big believer and run towards the thing that scares you. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: and see I know and I know you said that
Speaker 1: like when you you you going away from the thing
Speaker 1: that scares No, I'm like the thing that scares you.
Speaker 1: But you know what, it scares you. But if you
Speaker 1: go towards it, no, no, it will not kill you.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of blessings on the other side. So
Speaker 1: if you go towards that, honey, let me tell where.
Speaker 1: You gotta be man enough to know how to pick
Speaker 1: her up. I mean pick it up is heavy, but
Speaker 1: you know, run towards it. That's that's what I enjoy
Speaker 1: about your journey because it's like you're going into a show.
Speaker 1: You know, you've been doing the stand up, you've been
Speaker 1: doing the acting. What you're doing is extremely hard coming
Speaker 1: to New York, I mean, you know, and then it
Speaker 1: has like a different pace to it. It's chill, people
Speaker 1: are friendly. It's like a vibe you've seen. I mean,
Speaker 1: you've seen that video like that Mercedes crashing into that
Speaker 1: other car. That's New York. That's New York. You know
Speaker 1: how you know that New York is crazy because that
Speaker 1: the people walking by in that video don't even stop.
Speaker 1: They don't they you know, I'm telling you're not going
Speaker 1: to let that change you. It does not. In in
Speaker 1: l A. It's we're so chill. Like in New York.
Speaker 1: If I say to you, let's have lunch, New Yorkers go, well,
Speaker 1: what time where we gonna meet? I'm just trying to
Speaker 1: say goodbye. That's how we are in l like that.
Speaker 1: It's it's too much we we when we say we're
Speaker 1: gonna go to lunch. In l A, it's just like
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get off the conversation. We don't mean it.
Speaker 1: But New Yorkers are very even riding the subway, like
Speaker 1: everybody looks at their cell phone. They don't see anything,
Speaker 1: you know. One lady got on this where she's like, hello,
Speaker 1: I am blind and I need money and I had
Speaker 1: a fire in my place. And she's like, girl, you
Speaker 1: so funny. I am and I need your help. New
Speaker 1: Yorker's hustle. It's another world. It's another world, and I
Speaker 1: love So you're at the beginning of a new show.
Speaker 1: Everything is an opportunity, Everything is a possibility. It kicks
Speaker 1: off on September twelve. I want to know if you
Speaker 1: could fast forward to five years, ten years, how many
Speaker 1: years you want to be doing the show. What is
Speaker 1: the thing you want to leave people saying afterwards when
Speaker 1: they go, like, man, that Sherry Shepherd show? It did
Speaker 1: it was? You know? I think I want to want
Speaker 1: people to say, Sherry Shepherd gave me joy. Sherry Shepherd
Speaker 1: made me feel good. That's what I think. You have
Speaker 1: to know who you are when you walk in. I
Speaker 1: think women we also have a problem with that, knowing
Speaker 1: what is unique about us, and so you know that
Speaker 1: is what is unique about me. I want to make
Speaker 1: you smile and feel good. So I hope that people
Speaker 1: leave saying that, and women, and I hope you leave
Speaker 1: going Sherry taught me how to negotiate my money. Never
Speaker 1: take the first offer, Never let me tell you something. No,
Speaker 1: say no, I wanted him to say. Sherry taught me
Speaker 1: how to say no. That's right. Well, if you asked
Speaker 1: me and I won't say no, they don't apply to
Speaker 1: this right here. But Sherry taught me how to say no.
Speaker 1: You say, you gotta go for what you want. I
Speaker 1: don't know what I'm gonna be sitting behind this desk,
Speaker 1: so I got to tell Trevor how I feel. Okay,
Speaker 1: you gotta let him know, I dinner for Prince. I
Speaker 1: taught Prince the same thing. So we're going to Africa.
