I never forget Bill Clinton was a president 62 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: and that was the first person I voted for. He 63 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: started a welfare of work program. So I was trying 64 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: to get a career.

I just decided it just started. 74 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: I went to open mic. Uh huh, well, you know 75 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: I'm being a farmer comedian. I guess I can always 76 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: say I'm a comedian. Okay, I've done enough in my 77 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: life from STEPH Comedy Jam to BT Comic view that 78 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: open mic, just walking on that stage the very first 79 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: time because you because like you people told me I 80 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: was funny, and then I had to be convinced by 81 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: my sister and Hunt and my nephew. I would do 82 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 1: comedy routines in front of them on their in their 83 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: living room, and they said, that's funny, and that's funny. 84 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: You should do that. You do that. How did you 85 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: put together your first five minutes to go on stage? Ms? 86 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: Pat I went to this place that was near my 87 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: house called the pub, and it was just a bunch 88 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: of open Michaels. And I didn't I didn't even know 89 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: you're supposed to put together anything. My literally, my first 90 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: joke was about my brother being a fat cat burgler. 91 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: So I just went and I just went and told 92 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 1: a story that I was familiar with. And I went 93 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: there and they laughed, and I was like. I went 94 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: home and I told my husband said, guess what, I'm 95 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: a comedian. He's going to work tomorrow. Now. When when 96 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: what year was that? When year was there when you 97 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: walked on stage? I think it was early two thousand, 98 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: two thousand one, something like that. Well, we know, we 99 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 1: all have dreams. I know. When I started doing stand up, 100 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: Eddie Murphy was the talk of the land. Richard Pryor 101 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 1: was the King of comedy. And then as you see 102 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,919 Speaker 1: the evolved, you know when I managed Steve Harvey and 103 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: two thousand the original Kings of Comedy came out and 104 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 1: Burnie McK hit the streets, and the hit the street 105 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 1: and said came became a super Bowl commercial star, and 106 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: Steve Harvey became a radio star, and it was a 107 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 1: television star at the time on w B. What influences 108 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: did you have this pat the story, Like you said, 109 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: you know, you still a naturally talent person. Did anybody 110 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: influence you as a comedian, an actress or a singer. No, 111 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about coming Honestly, Um, I thought 112 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: Richard Pryor was just, you know, actor, So I didn't. 113 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: I didn't really dig into comedy. And when I started 114 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: to open my and people will say, you got these 115 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: crazy stories, and you you remind me of Richard Pryor, 116 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: and I'm like, he's an actor, and he was like 117 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: he was a comedient. So I just started to do 118 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: my research and I was like, I am a storyteller. 119 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: So I got heavily into watching Bill Cosby because he's 120 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: a great season's great storyteller. And I got into Richard Pryor, 121 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: and I realized that my stories were more like rich Richard, 122 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: you know, in your face, honestly, honest, and I like 123 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: to put them together the way Bills Cosby because they 124 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: were so great at storyteller. So those two was kind 125 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: of my biggest influence, you know, when I really dug 126 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: into I wanted to be a comedian. Well know, it's 127 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: interesting you say that because, uh, you know, when I 128 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: see your stand up, just it is the storytelling, but 129 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 1: it's the rawness of Red Fox. Did I see and 130 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: in you? And I see it because of the fact 131 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: that you're just talking, you know what I'm saying that 132 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: And I think that you know, he didn't hear me 133 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: out on this because it's a compliment about you and 134 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 1: your talents, and it's that there's a filter and I 135 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: don't think you have with Okay, you don't have it. 136 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: She don't have a filter, this woman, I'm talking to 137 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: you right here. If it's if it's if it's in 138 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: front of her head, it's gonna come out of her mouth. Okay. 139 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: And that's a beauty because that's why she's on this show. 140 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: That's why she's a show, and that's why she's successful. 141 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: Stand up comedian. That's why she goes on. Her name 142 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: appears on the billboard and as her shows sell out. 143 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: It's gonna be honest about that. So now Red Fox, 144 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: which was my era growing up, because he was an influence, 145 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: but he was just you know what, Like I said, 146 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: I was influenced by you know, I knew about Bill Cobby. 147 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: I was like over just in awe of Richard Pryor. 148 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: But you when I see Red Fox, I see this 149 00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: uncanny ability to stay streeked and then but relatable because 150 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: it's about your personal life. Am I am I hiding 151 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: it right for you, miss pat because you didn't mention 152 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: Red Fox. Oh no, I think I didn't mention Red 153 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: Fox because I didn't fall a lot of this comedy. 154 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: You know, I just know Red Fox were from San Franisan, 155 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: but I know how funny he was. But I was 156 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: able to find a lot more Richard Prior material when 157 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: I first started, and that was made me. I really 158 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: wanted to tell stories I've heard, I've heard Richard, I've 159 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: heard Red Fox before. I mean, it's either either I 160 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: get Richard Vernon met or Red Fox. That's when people 161 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: come up and tell me it's finally here the season 162 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: of celebration.

And then like I said, I'm 564 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: over here, you know, just Googland and just gushing about 565 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 1: how brilliant you are and how just I'm in love 566 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: with miss pat and the show on b T plus? 567 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 1: Where were you at each one of those steps in 568 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, twin and the teen and then it when 569 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: when I got there holding deal and we found a writer, 570 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: I was happy. I was, oh my god, I'm finally 571 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: gonna get a show.
