When 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:07.920 me and you started this show, we always everyone that 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:11.479 you know, give it to legends. We wanted our platform 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.520 because in this game, when when people are season and 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:17.800 they have ten years or more, or fifteen years or more, 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.399 or or me I just hit twenty five years in 0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:22.759 this game, and people try to say you washed up 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:25.880 and it's over for you. But this is very few 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:30.440 who could maintain that relevance, who could maintain that substance, 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:34.840 and that people always look to them and say, this 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:36.920 is the people we want to be like. So the 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:39.600 person that we're talking about, it's not only a queen, 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:43.360 not only a legend as an icon, She's dominated in 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:48.040 so many different fields. We we was just listening to 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:52.240 her hits and god damn, it just kept going more 0:01:52.320 --> 0:02:00.680 and more and more. It's movies all and then she 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:03.480 came with the sweeper Tato Pope because for those that 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:09.720 don't know, when you're black, we sweep Tato Pope and 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:14.079 not another ship Punky when I'm not. So in case 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.880 you don't know who we're talking about, we're talking about 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:29.000 queen motherfucker's soul. Thank you. Now, I've been studying you. 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:31.760 I've been studying you, right, and I've been studying all 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:34.280 your interviews. This is a very awkward question, but I 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:36.760 need to start with this. Did you get rid of 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:45.600 that flip phone? No, I have an Android. You'd wait, 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:49.640 it's still a flip It's still wait wait wait, it's lavender. 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.600 I got it last week and it made me mad 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.480 enough to almost throw that one away. It's a little flip. 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:57.640 Since my nails are so much, I try to press 0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:00.920 those things so that my my my friend Edward said 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:03.200 let's get you an Android that you just have to 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:06.120 touch a name and the number pops up. Well, I 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:08.800 touched and the number didn't come up, and so I 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.400 got angry. So I really think I'm going to get 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.760 rid of that one too. I wanted to get a smartphone, 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:17.160 but I can get in trouble because people can hear 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:18.880 you if you're talking about them when they hangs up 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.880 and you or something like that. But I don't know 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:29.440 none about phone.

They said that you 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:32.640 and Aretha at the White House, and then Aretha walked 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:34.360 by you, and that was the time that people started 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:36.520 to say because in hip hop, I started to think 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:39.440 that the girls can't get along right, and I'm and 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:42.040 it's it's like, it's notable when hippa. So I never 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.719 thought that this was happening in your world back then, 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:47.840 and when I researched it and then and that's like 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.079 one of the first things that came up. Well, let 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:53.240 me say something. I watched Snoop's interview on your show, 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:55.520 the things that they were saying about him and Pine 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:59.480 Diddy that it wasn't good, but it was good. Me 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:04.120 and a wreath, we were good. Okay. The time when 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:07.840 she did the White House, she was not feeling great. Okay, 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:11.560 after the White House, we spoke on the phone. She 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:15.000 called me because she was very interested in having her 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:18.560 items in Walmart. We talked about food, we talked about 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:22.319 recording together. This is after the White House. She always 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:24.920 loved me at the time. I don't think she was 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:27.560 feeling great. No telling how I would be if I 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.400 wasn't feeling my best and somebody walked by me and 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.640 said hey, and I didn't speak, It must have been 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:36.360 for a real reason, because I did her the White 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:42.320 House of the thing, you know, the honors, the legend, 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:48.360 the honors, uh uh nath Kennedy, Kennedy Honors. When she's 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:50.920 sitting up in the wave top boot, I sang Ain't 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:55.480 no Way because she warned me to do at Essence U, 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:59.080 the TV show Essence along with Susan Taylor. Aretha wanted 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:03.120 me to sing Ain't no Way, and I did and 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:05.520 it was a standing ovation. She called me to her 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:09.000 seat afterwards done and said you did okay, And I 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:12.400 said it's okay, baby. I mean, she loved me. It 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:15.240 wasn't a love hate. It was a love. And when 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:17.520 I'm not feeling well, you might get the other side 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:19.800 of Aretha. So that's all it was, you guys. I 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.680 never took it to heart. She's my number one hero, 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:27.760 always has been, always will be. And I wanted to 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:31.400 clear this up on this wonderful show because people think 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.600 sometimes when you're like I feel, Jasmine Sullivan hated me. 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:39.000 Let me say something. Last week she made my heart 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:44.520 pald hard. She called me, we're the same gentleman um 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:47.720 Mark Keys who made this outfit and the outfit that 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:50.280 I wore for essence the last couple of weeks ago. 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:53.480 He's good friends with Jasmine and so, he said, Jasmine 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:55.640 and I always just to talk about who's coming to 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:58.720 Patty Labelle's party first, you or me. So she's always 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:00.640 had this love for me. But whatever I would see her, 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:03.680 she shy, and I would give her all these props 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:06.160 and stuff. I said, Baby, they're alone like me. My 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:09.720 feelings were hurt until last week when we talked on 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:13.480 the phone. She said, Patti Lapelle, you're my everything. She said, 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:15.160 I love you so much. I get shy when I'm 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:18.920 around you. So you see how things are misunderstood. This business, 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.760 so ugly business. Sometimes people want to make us hate 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.360 each other and say, oh, she don't like her. Well, 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.360 Jason and I are recording, so you know, I'm I'm 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:30.319 after fifteen years, I haven't recorded R and B. So 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:32.640 I'm doing stuff with her in a bunch of other sweeties. 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:37.160 And I just wanted to clarify that for me because 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.199 I was holding this thing that she didn't like me. 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:43.640 She loved at Patti LaBelle. Okay, so thank you Jasslle, 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:50.480 right right, talk about the real honey. Don't let people 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.240 think negative all the time. Bust that up. And I 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:55.320 believe in telling the truth to a fault. I can 0:11:55.440 --> 0:12:00.280 trouble sometimes because you talk too much. I say too 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:01.839 many things. And he said, why did you say that? 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:08.559 As citizens on my heart? Let next that were wonderful 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:10.719 that's what Angel was supposed to be called before. Yes, 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:17.920 something happened, Yes, great great relationship we had. Yes, yes, 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:22.400 so this is something that struck me crazy.

I was gonna line that no money, 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:35.959 but he was so interested in Patty LaBelle on the Bluebells. 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:38.920 We're at the Apollo Theater and the doorman came up 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.200 to my room and said, there's a Luther Andrews who 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:43.240 said he wants to be your fan club president, who 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:46.040 wants to come in and give you clothes. I said, shoot, 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:49.000 anybody given us. We were buying stuff from five and dime. 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:51.480 We didn't have no money for for costumes.

It was all 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.680 for the ladies and we went on stage the next 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:11.720 show with these great They were a little big, but 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:14.280 I didn't care they were new because they'll always like 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:16.640 to wear new clothes. And so he gave us these 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:18.000 clothes and he said, I would like to be your 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:19.959 fan club president. I said, but who are you? Boot 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:32.679 great to be our fan club president? And actually sorry, 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:34.240 but I just want you to get all these stories. 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:37.480 And so Luther said, at that time, could I be 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.480 your fan club president? So I'm saying and Sarah, no, 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:42.840 no, no no, we're saying who are you? He said, I'm 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.880 Luther Andros I'm a singer. And I just took him 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:47.600 for his word. I said, I bet he didn't blow 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:50.920 And after that we found out who he was. But meanwhile, 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:53.400 he's our president of our family. We didn't have a 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:56.559 fan club, so he was the first ever president for 0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:01.440 who we call them, Patty LaBelle and the Bluebells Labell No, no, 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:06.040 we were Patty Labell. Yes, but he willed it. He 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:09.720 wheeled himself into the weekend and what a man. And 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:13.680 after that, when he got money, he bought me diamonds. Lalik, 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:17.840 I have some of his birds, birds that he Barton 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:20.240 gave to me when he died. His mother gave me 0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:22.840 some other items he wanted me in the halt. He 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:27.520 was a patty baby. I love him so much. Yeah, 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.080 I got some stories for you. Yeah I didn't. I 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:31.840 didn't know the Luther depart. I thought I knew a 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:33.840 lot of people the Luther depart when he shook me up, 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:36.800 especially how he did it, because everyone has the beginning, 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:39.560 but to see how humble that beginning was, like, yeah, 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:43.520 like damnit stylist to like the number one pop singer 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:46.400 in the world and the world, and did you see 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:48.560 that in him when you first let him in the room? 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:54.120 Didn't see anything but I see those boys all I 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:58.440 so was free, free cut, sunny. So No, I just 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:01.320 saw a great man. Ever knew he had that talent. 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:05.080 Yeah you have, You have these these great stories. Like 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:08.000 there's a piano guy that you you was working with 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:12.160 in London named Reginald Wright, Reginald Right. Let me see 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:15.280 if I got the story correct. So Reginald Right was 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:17.720 playing back up for you, and I think he wanted 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:21.320 to quit because at this time, because people were homosexuals 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:24.760 weren't being accepted at that time you told him you 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:27.760 keep going. You speak to Reginald White. Couple of years later, 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:31.120 you asked Reginald White, um, he actually, can you come 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:32.760 out to a show? And you said, well, who are 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:35.960 you being a show for? And he said, it's me. 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:45.360 I'm Elton Jaws. That's the way it happened that I 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:47.640 didn't even have to tell you the story. So he 0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:51.240 was at the Spectrum and fill it up here. And so, uh, 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:54.560 I got this call from I'm saying, Hi, Patty, it's Reggie. 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:57.040 I said, I Hey, Reggie, what's up? He said, I'm 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.720 at the Spectrum to light. I said, who's opening? I mean, 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.640 who's closing the show? He said, I'm opening to the show. 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:06.480 I'm Elton john Now, I said, you pump. You made 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:09.200 it before me said I'm sorry. I did give me 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:14.600 my tubleware back his group they were called Bluesology, I think, 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:17.560 and I fed them every night after the show because 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:20.160 nobody had any pounds, they didn't have any money, and 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:22.840 I always cooked. So I gave him and his band 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:26.280 food to take home and tubleware. And so I'm a 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:28.920 tubleware shopping bag queen. If I gave you a beautiful 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:31.600 shopping bag or a beautiful piece of tubberware. I wanted back. 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:35.960 So when I saw him the next time, we recorded 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:39.200 at Caesar's with the red piano show that he was doing, 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:42.200 and we did a duet. Um what was that song? 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:47.440 We did Zuri your song on my album and it 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:49.880 was beautiful. And after he finished, he left his ring 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:52.920 on the piano. I said, Elton, here's your ring. He 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:56.600 said that show us for the Tupperwar dialing. I have 0:16:56.800 --> 0:17:00.520 that ring today. It's a beautiful diamond cross and I 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:04.200 know it post more than five dollars. I got my ring, Yes, 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:06.760 and I got a good friend. Do you know how 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:10.680 legendary story? But did you know he was You had 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:13.399 heard John the name before he told told me it 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:16.119 was happen. Yes. I was shocked, and I said, you 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:19.080 made it before me, boo, And he did and he's 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:22.160 still making it and I'm so happy for him. Here's here. Yeah. 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:31.560 One of my famous uh stories on drink Champ period 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:34.120 has always been a Prince story because we know we'll 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:36.640 never get to meet Prince. A lot of people don't 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:41.000 know how hardcore right Michael to Yeah, we're going both. 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:47.440 But something that's interesting is Prince at the our senior horse. 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:52.000 Oh god, I was shocked. First of all, we recorded 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:54.880 in many and how do you say? You can't say 0:17:54.920 --> 0:18:00.639 that word? Wherever I was there for me be a month. 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:03.399 And so what he did for me was like treating 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:06.159 me like I was his mom. And so he had clothes, 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:08.959 you know, he had that shop of the tailor's right 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:11.879 the other premises. He took me to the clothing place, 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:14.720 had four outfits made for me. Then he took me 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:17.879 to his house in the alphabet car and had me 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:20.680 cooked for him. I cooked everything. You know what, he 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:24.840 ate a freaking biscuit And I had the brisket, the 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:27.840 fried chicken, the corn over tomatoes, everything, and all he 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:29.680 wanted was a biscuit. He wanted to see me cook. 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:34.920 I said, what's up? So I cooked real fast. I 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:37.840 cooked everything like well four hours with the brisket. I 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.359 put that on early and everything else, and he watched 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:43.000 me eat. So I set the table and so I said, okay, 0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:48.880 let's eat. I said, what's wrong with you? He said 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:51.840 this all I want? I said, okay, I love you anyway. 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:55.240 So then after that we played pool in his house 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:57.920 with my musical director Bud Ellison, who's no longer hear, 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:00.960 and he said that everything he earned and music was 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:04.960 from my musical director, Bud Ellison. Now Bud was phenomenally 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:08.000 a hight. It was just one of the best compliments 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:10.320 everybody can anybody can give you. So then we went 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:13.159 to a club and we danced. We were dancing. He 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:15.360 had on his pumps and I had on my pumps, 0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:18.639 and we were throwing down. Because he likes to be 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:23.920 tall and I love him. He was all right, let's 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:25.639 go with that. I'm just going with that. I'm just 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:30.359 going with the same height. We were dancing. Damn, you 0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:32.600 know you can dance and I can't. But I pretended 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:35.120 like I was like doing something. So then we went 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:37.520 to the disco. Then after that he took me back 0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:40.840 to my hotel and then he called me. About four 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:45.240 months later, Arsenio Hall called me and said, Arsenia said, Patty, 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:47.680 what are you doing? I think it was in three days. 0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:50.960 I said, cooking, just so. I ain't got no no jobs, 0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:54.040 so I'm chilling. He said, could you come to my show? 0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:55.920 I said, I just said your show not so long ago. 0:19:56.600 --> 0:19:58.760 Why he said, because Prince won't do it unless you 0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:01.000 do it with it. So I said Why what am 0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:03.879 I gonna do saying with him? He said, no, he 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:07.000 just wants your presence on on the days where we 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:09.520 were sitting in the chairs, I get things mix up. 0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:13.679 So I went on and I said and printed a 0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:17.240 little talking, and our senior kept looking at me, said, Patty, 0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:20.440 you on energet No, I don't know what to say, 0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:24.480 held my hand and it was such an honor that 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:26.639 he wanted me to be there with him as a 0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:30.040 comfort blanket. It's just so many great things that happened 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:32.959 to me in this business. I have so many showbusiness daughters, 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:38.160 so many showbusiness sons, so many nieces and nephews, and 0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:42.119 I'm mother of everybody. My son, natural son, Zory, my baby. 0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:45.399 He has about fifty million sisters and brothers, you know. 0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:55.560 And and he didn't mind, you know, do you Jory? 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:06.600 My mom? Don't forgetting Hey man, I've been doing my dude, 0:21:06.880 --> 0:21:09.840 just to make sure I'm bouncing around a little bit. 0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:13.639 But let's just let's just how did we even start 0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:16.000 to think? Because what was the internet guy that that? 0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:19.480 I think he ate the pie and everyone. James James 0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:24.520 James uh from Chanelle White from l A. He's my 0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:27.119 best friend. Now we didn't know him, but at the 0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:29.919 time we were in London performing and got this video 0:21:30.040 --> 0:21:33.199 of this guy doing this video. That's well, that's sweet. 0:21:33.440 --> 0:21:35.959 Thank god. The pies had already been selling, you know, 0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:39.480 so when he did that, they sold even more. Yeah, 0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:43.720 you know, he's one of my better friends. And um, 0:21:43.800 --> 0:21:45.560 I think some people are saying, let's get it real 0:21:46.200 --> 0:21:50.200 that I didn't take care of him. Okay, it wasn't planned. 0:21:50.320 --> 0:21:53.199 And I did take care of him, Okay. Me and 0:21:53.280 --> 0:21:56.840 Zori we make sure we make sure people are you know, 0:21:56.960 --> 0:22:00.919 not used or abused. So ins that we did for 0:22:01.040 --> 0:22:03.879 James and he appreciated. But people have the chit chat 0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:06.000 and talk like I should have brought him a mansion 0:22:06.119 --> 0:22:09.719 or something. You know, what's that kind of pro It 0:22:09.800 --> 0:22:12.280 was organic, you know. So I always wanted to hit 0:22:12.320 --> 0:22:15.240 that story straight. And we're friends, we talk, He comes 0:22:15.240 --> 0:22:17.440 and stays with me and coax for me because he's 0:22:17.440 --> 0:22:22.440 a great chef. So that story is a phenomenal story. Yea, 0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:29.119 even already already and doing quite well, but he just 0:22:29.160 --> 0:22:32.400 put that extra kid to it. I love him for that. 0:22:32.520 --> 0:22:34.680 I do. Do we make some moise for him? Huh? 0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:42.080 Do we make I mean, why not always give props 0:22:42.080 --> 0:22:45.480 where props are. Do you know I never use anybody 0:22:45.960 --> 0:22:49.240 or abuse anyone. That's my baby. So let's just think 0:22:49.280 --> 0:22:52.359 about this. What happened. Someone is at the house and 0:22:52.359 --> 0:22:55.440 they're eating this peepotator poe. I say, we gotta sell us, Like, 0:22:55.480 --> 0:22:58.280 how did this happen? Like it happened because of my 0:22:58.480 --> 0:23:02.040 um my there and grandmother's recipe, and I added a 0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:04.960 little something to it. And I think people know me 0:23:05.080 --> 0:23:08.400 not as just a singer, but as a cook. And 0:23:08.520 --> 0:23:10.960 I cook all the time. So why shouldn't my pie 0:23:10.960 --> 0:23:16.960 be good? Tell me why? So it happened just because 0:23:17.000 --> 0:23:20.080 it's a good pie. It's no better than your grandmother's 0:23:20.119 --> 0:23:22.479 or your mother's, but it's a Patti pie, you know. 0:23:22.520 --> 0:23:24.600 And like I said, I know I don't make the 0:23:24.640 --> 0:23:26.320 best pie in the world. I know that I don't 0:23:26.320 --> 0:23:29.119 make the best macaroni in the world. But this happened 0:23:29.119 --> 0:23:32.720 to hit and people really enjoyed Patty's pipe, the little 0:23:32.720 --> 0:23:35.919 baby fifty cent ones and all the little little goodies. 0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:38.480 What was the first product that that that won't go off? 0:23:38.480 --> 0:23:40.919 And someone said we have to start selling it? What 0:23:41.000 --> 0:23:43.080 was the first product? I think it was a pie. 0:23:43.960 --> 0:23:48.040 It was a sweepotato pie. Right, it was a sweepetato 0:23:48.080 --> 0:23:50.600 pie because like, because you do white people able to eat, 0:23:50.720 --> 0:23:56.760 they eat pie. But we have a pumpkin pie coming out. 0:23:54.880 --> 0:24:02.280 That's taste everybody, right, right, right, everybody, I see, so 0:24:02.320 --> 0:24:05.919 I can give you a pie. You're a pier. Everybody 0:24:05.960 --> 0:24:18.880 get a pie. I'll see y'all suit with the motherfucker Sarah. Yeah, 0:24:17.600 --> 0:24:22.960 it's it's uh sugar free serups, all types of serups. 0:24:23.200 --> 0:24:25.399 So I'm a diabetic, so I have to use the 0:24:25.480 --> 0:24:29.199 sugar free and it's so darn good. I promise you. 0:24:29.400 --> 0:24:32.480
