0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:11.480

0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:29.079
<v Speaker 1>was delayed, but I was determined that wasn't an issue.

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:33.840
<v Speaker 1>We got here like eleven fifteen deep plane, deep plane

0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:35.639
<v Speaker 1>to the minute because it was not even that many

0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:37.600
<v Speaker 1>people on the plane, but they were moving very slowly.

0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Then I left out of United, so I parked my

0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:44.760
<v Speaker 1>car at United. But I came back on American, which

0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 1>is terminal four, and then I was at terminal seven.

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:50.040
<v Speaker 1>There's no more flyaway shuttle, so I had to walk

0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 1>with my bag seven. Thanks go back to catch catch

0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:57.639
<v Speaker 1>everybody up because where were you? Why did you go? So?

0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.040
<v Speaker 1>I went to Chicago to drop my daughters off to

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:02.360
<v Speaker 1>see their mom and to get some new dresses. Made

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:07.359
<v Speaker 1>that ups lost no usps, lost my boxes. I had

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 1>the bad fabric while I was there to get dresses. Yes, please,

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 1>so but overall it was a good trip. We did

0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.760
<v Speaker 1>the audition. Let me tell you something about Lauren Hoke

0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.959
<v Speaker 1>and y'all, Lauren drilled me on this all day. I

0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.239
<v Speaker 1>really told my ass up on this because the first

0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:23.920
<v Speaker 1>time I was horrible. I told you all that though

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:27.680
<v Speaker 1>I was terrible, and yesterday I did much better. But

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:29.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I'm gonna get this row. That white

0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 1>lady like me, and then cause she was white, she

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 1>just didn't like me. I wasn't what she no, no, no,

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:36.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that I was what she was looking forward.

0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:38.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you how I feel, because at the end

0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 1>it was, oh my Godflame, your endeavorged and you're gonna

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:43.560
<v Speaker 1>do great things, and it was pretty much, yeah, bitch,

0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:45.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't want you. Let me check him. I know

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 1>how to read between the lines. I'm real grown. Was

0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:50.680
<v Speaker 1>that the version of unfortunately very much? So we'll see,

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:52.960
<v Speaker 1>we'll see. I'm expecting a call today. We'll see what

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 1>Lauren has an optimistic output on it. I'm telling you

0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 1>I heard bets what the lady was saying. Yeah, Oh,

0:03:57.720 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna do wonderful things in your career. You're great

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.400
<v Speaker 1>who you're like, Yeah, you just want to be be doing

0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 1>something wonderful with this project. And it's fine. Like I

0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.440
<v Speaker 1>tell Flame, everything happens for a reason. Everything's a learning

0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:10.720
<v Speaker 1>experience and it just may not be this opportunity, but

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 1>there'll be other things. I am a walking testament to that.

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:16.559
<v Speaker 1>And I agree with you, Lauren. I think the Flame

0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:19.760
<v Speaker 1>more often than not underestimates the value that she brings

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:23.400
<v Speaker 1>into a room. Um. I think that sometimes that mouth

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.919
<v Speaker 1>kind of tells Flame what Flame wants here, But the

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 1>rest of us see more than that, and those who

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:31.040
<v Speaker 1>get to interact with her, you know exactly who who

0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.159
<v Speaker 1>Flame can bring to the table, so exactly I believe

0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:34.839
<v Speaker 1>that you can. I bring a comb to the table

0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 1>because this hair is nice. You know what? You know

0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.680
<v Speaker 1>who I look like? Remember and still make notice when

0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Julie Roberts told her mama, who's the mama, Sally, how

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:46.919
<v Speaker 1>you want your hand down? Just make it like a

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:50.599
<v Speaker 1>football him, I'm feeling like the feeling like the football.

0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Good morning. I'm sorry you started out. We had absolutely

0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:02.919
<v Speaker 1>good afternoon, Flame, good after Lawrence. I think we'd be

0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:06.040
<v Speaker 1>remiss if we did not start off with the historic

0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 1>events of last week, right, um. And I specifically want

0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:13.320
<v Speaker 1>to point out, uh, just the amount of joy I felt.

0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 1>And I said to you Flame, Uh, A might being

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:19.440
<v Speaker 1>melodramatic again or overly sensitive like you you often criticize

0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:21.800
<v Speaker 1>me for with feeling like maybe the weight of the

0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:25.280
<v Speaker 1>world had been lifted on on Tuesday. On Wednesday, yeah,

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:28.239
<v Speaker 1>I said when it happened. The day before it happened,

0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.200
<v Speaker 1>I said, I would like for a rainbow just too

0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:34.880
<v Speaker 1>circumference America to show us that, wow, there is going

0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:36.920
<v Speaker 1>to be a pot of gold in this rainbow. Now

0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:38.760
<v Speaker 1>that might not be gold, but we'll take what we

0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:40.720
<v Speaker 1>can get right now, and we take a stimulus. They

0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.760
<v Speaker 1>gotta be going I take that stimulus. Any who. But

0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.680
<v Speaker 1>when somebody painted that picture and they had all the

0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Michelle Obamas and the Nancy Pelosi's and all with all

0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:54.760
<v Speaker 1>the colors, and the young lady Gorman, all these beautiful

0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.039
<v Speaker 1>colors and all these different flavors of people. When I

0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.720
<v Speaker 1>say flavors of people, I'm talking about it looked like

0:05:59.880 --> 0:06:02.919
<v Speaker 1>ice cream company with so many different colors. It was

0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:04.680
<v Speaker 1>so great to me, so that it was it was

0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:07.159
<v Speaker 1>that it made me feel inspired. And I say it

0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:09.599
<v Speaker 1>on my post that we have been in some ship.

0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:12.719
<v Speaker 1>We still in some ship. The difference is we now

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:16.360
<v Speaker 1>have shovels. Yeah. I think as a whole we all

0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:20.120
<v Speaker 1>went like one. I think that's what everybody did. We

0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:22.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of just exhaled a sigh of relief and we

0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:26.560
<v Speaker 1>were all thankful to just see what our future almost

0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.040
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna hold you know what I mean. So I

0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:32.000
<v Speaker 1>know I was watching Kamala Harris, you know, put her

0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:36.240
<v Speaker 1>hand on that Bible and swearing her oath. I was overjoyed, overwhelmed.

0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:37.920
<v Speaker 1>It was. It was a myriad of feeling you know,

0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 1>that I had for me. But I think as a whole,

0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.599
<v Speaker 1>we're now just finally saying, Okay, things are gonna get better.

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna be okay, We're going in a better direction hopefully.

0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:49.919
<v Speaker 1>And within the first I would say, five days of

0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:53.120
<v Speaker 1>the Biden administration, there's so many things that he's already

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:56.000
<v Speaker 1>doing to overturn what Trump did. Flame you and I

0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:57.880
<v Speaker 1>talked about this on your way here today, was that

0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:02.200
<v Speaker 1>he lifted the military band again trans the standard community today,

0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:07.679
<v Speaker 1>So findal sight on Yeah. And he's electing me and brothers,

0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:10.640
<v Speaker 1>and he's electing um, you know, someone who's a transgender

0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:15.080
<v Speaker 1>to the position of Assistant Health secretary. So he's making

0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:16.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot of strides in the right direction to be

0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.680
<v Speaker 1>as inclusive and diverse as possible. Let me speak on

0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:22.840
<v Speaker 1>that inclusion from the Joe Biden aspect. Thank you, Mr Biden,

0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Thank you President Joe Biden for the inclusion, because within

0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.760
<v Speaker 1>our own community it's not this much inclusion. We gotta

0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.120
<v Speaker 1>stop saying that they don't like us, they don't see us,

0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:33.880
<v Speaker 1>they hate us. We have a trans senator, first ever

0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 1>in history this year out of Pennsylvania. You're affiliates Delaware,

0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:43.280
<v Speaker 1>we now have a transgender doctor. Now mind you the one,

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.440
<v Speaker 1>the one that works as a senator in Delaware. She's lovely,

0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:49.880
<v Speaker 1>the new doctor. She looks like George Washington, the original one,

0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.320
<v Speaker 1>but she got the position. And let me say what

0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:56.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. We also have the ban on the military

0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.600
<v Speaker 1>lifted for trans met and women to go back. We

0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:01.120
<v Speaker 1>gotta stop with this. They don't like us, they don't

0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:04.000
<v Speaker 1>see us. We gotta pick better battles to pick fights. So,

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:07.880
<v Speaker 1>because if we're not voting collectively as a as a group,

0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:10.960
<v Speaker 1>the trans and gay community, who's voting for us? Because

0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:14.559
<v Speaker 1>this senator was voted in. Somebody Biden knew about this woman.

0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:17.679
<v Speaker 1>Biden has been more than fair to women and women

0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:21.760
<v Speaker 1>of color and all sexualities. Joe Biden is something y'all think.

0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden and Geoe Biden get it in on wedding night.

0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, on inauguration night. I'm sure Kamala and how

0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Mandeve y'all think Joe and Geo get it in. I'm

0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:32.679
<v Speaker 1>gonna say this flame. I think that we have a responsibility,

0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:35.800
<v Speaker 1>honestly as voters to also still hold this administration of

0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:39.240
<v Speaker 1>comical as well. You know, don't the question, Donald Trump,

0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:41.560
<v Speaker 1>do you think that Joe and Geoe get it in

0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:45.600
<v Speaker 1>on inauguration night? Oh? I'm not. I don't know anything, Joe.

0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:47.440
<v Speaker 1>Let me tell you something. You know, Joe Steele got

0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:50.120
<v Speaker 1>the Jews. Remember when he ran to the podium. Well

0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:51.880
<v Speaker 1>you remember when he ran to the podium when it

0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:57.520
<v Speaker 1>was snapping him. People want to go damn. I'm an

0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.400
<v Speaker 1>American and I want to know the FAI will say.

0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:03.400
<v Speaker 1>Joe and Jill went uphill to fetch a pale and water.

0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:06.640
<v Speaker 1>Jill fell down and Joe fell down on top of it.

0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:09.240
<v Speaker 1>And baby, if they have another daughter, come on withever.

0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:14.040
<v Speaker 1>You know what I will say about the inauguration with

0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Jill and Joe Biden, excuse me, present Biden? And first

0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:19.520
<v Speaker 1>of anybody, that bible she was holding? How big was

0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:23.240
<v Speaker 1>that Bible? Did you see that? That was a workout?

0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:26.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm like that Bible was huge bible was

0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:29.439
<v Speaker 1>who was comlas. I'm not sure whose commless Bible was,

0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:31.960
<v Speaker 1>but that was the Bible that Jill was holding, was

0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:35.959
<v Speaker 1>like their family bible that they've had for years. Because

0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:39.040
<v Speaker 1>you told me that the Bible that uh, Kamala Harris,

0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.320
<v Speaker 1>this one you know, had never been touched by a woman.

0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Was that you who told me that it had never

0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 1>been touched by a woman. I don't know that because

0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:51.439
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know that. Oh well, I don't doubt that. Yeah,

0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:54.520
<v Speaker 1>but I think that bible was actually if I remember correctly,

0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:56.800
<v Speaker 1>and Flames can jump in here, but I believe the

0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Bible that Kamala used was the one that the woman

0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:02.440
<v Speaker 1>who was like a mother to her had and kind

0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:04.840
<v Speaker 1>of had been in the family for a while as well. Yeah,

0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:11.200
<v Speaker 1>that historic significantly. We're here together, and I know for

0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:13.360
<v Speaker 1>a fact that it was also a problem. And when

0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:16.000
<v Speaker 1>to give a shout out, Lauren to your SaaS, I

0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:18.559
<v Speaker 1>think that it was definitely a problem for a k

0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:22.400
<v Speaker 1>s around the globe who were not surprised. I saw

0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:24.760
<v Speaker 1>a number of her line sisters help me here, Lauren,

0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:26.760
<v Speaker 1>who were just talking about No, we're not surprised. She's

0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:28.640
<v Speaker 1>always been a leader. And this is, uh, this is

0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:30.840
<v Speaker 1>what we come to expect of all of our sisters,

0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:32.760
<v Speaker 1>that we can make a difference in the world. And

0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:35.679
<v Speaker 1>now the world is seeing the power of what sororities

0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:39.200
<v Speaker 1>can do and be. And Kamala is a shining example. Absolutely.

0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.080
<v Speaker 1>And I wore my a k swich her two work

0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:43.720
<v Speaker 1>that day and everybody saw it and I had no shame.

0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.440
<v Speaker 1>And I also to want to point out that Kamala

0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:49.560
<v Speaker 1>wore the color royal purple and that was actually an

0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:53.680
<v Speaker 1>o to Shirley Chisholm. So yeah, so its overall. It

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:56.120
<v Speaker 1>was just there was a lot of subliminal and significant

0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:59.200
<v Speaker 1>things happening at the inauguration that day. So um more,

0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:06.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm learning swore her in Latino woman. Uh surely chisum

0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:08.160
<v Speaker 1>If you guys don't know, what's the first black woman

0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:10.080
<v Speaker 1>to ever run for president? This is way back in

0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:14.080
<v Speaker 1>the seventies. Baby, she was Maxine Water per personifat Maxine

0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Water is like a little ruty poot next to Shirley Chismen.

0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Surely chisen didn't play the games at all. That lady

0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:23.520
<v Speaker 1>will hit you, I think for really, you know, I

0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:26.600
<v Speaker 1>know we have a special guest today and before we

0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:28.600
<v Speaker 1>go go there, I want to talk about a couple

0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:31.880
<v Speaker 1>more things with the inauguration specifically before we move on.

0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:34.640
<v Speaker 1>I also want to recognize Amanda Gorman. We talked about

0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:39.480
<v Speaker 1>just how inspiring she was, and I loved that this

0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:43.760
<v Speaker 1>young woman stood there and delivered I think what was

0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:45.840
<v Speaker 1>a poem for all time and it was definitely one

0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:49.319
<v Speaker 1>built and based on hope and inspiration. And I love

0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:52.440
<v Speaker 1>to see young people who don't feel defeated, you know

0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:55.199
<v Speaker 1>that that she just really seemed to feel empowered and

0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:57.640
<v Speaker 1>that's the message she wanted to share. Yeah, I just

0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:00.320
<v Speaker 1>I think it was also beautiful too because she was

0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:05.120
<v Speaker 1>the youngest inaugural poet in the history of inaugurations, and

0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:08.920
<v Speaker 1>her her poem was just, um, it was heartfelt, it

0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:10.840
<v Speaker 1>was engaging, and it was just one that you could

0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:14.400
<v Speaker 1>really connect with, you know. So I just want to,

0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:17.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, congratulate her on that she's been actually speaking

0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.080
<v Speaker 1>for a long time and she had a speech impediment

0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:22.840
<v Speaker 1>when she was younger, so this was a real accomplishment

0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:25.480
<v Speaker 1>for her, and just shout out to black girl magic

0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:27.840
<v Speaker 1>in general because she did the damn thing. Can they

0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:30.800
<v Speaker 1>just talk about that this young black sister was a

0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:35.120
<v Speaker 1>regular looking, a very attractive black woman, dark skin because

0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:36.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, you've always got this whole thing about the

0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:40.200
<v Speaker 1>lights and the darks. And she wore bright yellow so

0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:42.440
<v Speaker 1>you could see her ask from cross the pond, baby,

0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:44.319
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, with that bill riding. She had a

0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:46.920
<v Speaker 1>beautiful smile. She's I did not see her speech because

0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:48.720
<v Speaker 1>I had the rush to come to work to rehearsal

0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:51.560
<v Speaker 1>that day, but I saw the after on CND and

0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:56.280
<v Speaker 1>she was fantastic. She was like wow. I held myself

0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:58.280
<v Speaker 1>that she spoke such powerful words. I wish I could

0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:00.400
<v Speaker 1>speak powerful like that. I don't speak proberful, just talked

0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:03.080
<v Speaker 1>to my ship. But y'all like it. I thought it

0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:06.120
<v Speaker 1>was beautiful. I did. I just thought everything worked in concert.

0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:08.040
<v Speaker 1>I even I'm even gonna say that I thought that

0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:11.440
<v Speaker 1>the pre produced special was good. You know that that

0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:13.320
<v Speaker 1>it moved. I'm going to even say this. This is

0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:16.920
<v Speaker 1>where it even gets a little more interesting. I think

0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:21.160
<v Speaker 1>that it was probably better because of the pandemic, if

0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:22.760
<v Speaker 1>you want to know the truth, and because of the

0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:26.840
<v Speaker 1>security concerns. I felt like it was more orchestrated and coordinated,

0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.760
<v Speaker 1>and it moved. It was never boring, like I watched

0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:31.360
<v Speaker 1>the event over and I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna watch

0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:33.280
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of this. But I thought Tom Hanks

0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:35.559
<v Speaker 1>really moved it along. I thought it was an interesting

0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:38.240
<v Speaker 1>mix of people. I even called I think Lauren, i e.

0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:40.120
<v Speaker 1>They're texted to or flame. I'm like, who is this

0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:42.760
<v Speaker 1>girl with the short hair singing? I didn't even recognize

0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Demi Levado? And I thought Demi Levado absolutely crushed it.

0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:48.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, uh, you know, we're doing a little bit

0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:50.160
<v Speaker 1>of riffing and everything there. Yeah. I just thought it

0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:53.160
<v Speaker 1>was really well done. We're gonna talk about singing. Let's

0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:55.240
<v Speaker 1>talk about the beginning part of the singing too. Who

0:13:55.360 --> 0:14:01.160
<v Speaker 1>sang jolo Jo looked lovely, she said, Jelo stayed in harrange.

0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Good girl, smart girl. Well, I said this. I think

0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Jaylo was prerecorded, similar to how Beyonce was when she

0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:10.800
<v Speaker 1>participated in the Barack Obama's inauguration, because it was just

0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:12.640
<v Speaker 1>the fact that she didn't hit a bad note. You know,

0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:15.240
<v Speaker 1>everybody knows Jaylo's not the best singer in my opinion,

0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:17.280
<v Speaker 1>the fact that she didn't hit a bad note made

0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:20.680
<v Speaker 1>me a little skeptical, like, okay, maybe this was prerecorded. Overall,

0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:23.360
<v Speaker 1>though fabulous drop to her. You know, kudos to Jolo,

0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:26.160
<v Speaker 1>but just my thoughts. Okay, now before we leave and

0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:28.320
<v Speaker 1>go with Jim Cory, I have to give homage to

0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:31.720
<v Speaker 1>Chicago because when I tell you that super Fly and

0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:35.080
<v Speaker 1>black Mama, White Mama, she would walk through them do

0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:37.840
<v Speaker 1>it when Michelle bust them doors open with that long

0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:41.000
<v Speaker 1>flowing hair and that burgundy MAXI coote like the matrix

0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:42.960
<v Speaker 1>with them pants and that big old buck bell buck.

0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I said, you know what you told black drink of water.

0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Can't call her that baby? Tell my ass up, I screamed.

0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:53.280
<v Speaker 1>And they walked down the stairs like they like Millie

0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Jackson said, and loves and girlfriends. They walked in like

0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:58.280
<v Speaker 1>they own the motherfucker. I said, yes, that's how you

0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:00.960
<v Speaker 1>bumped through the stairs. Flame. I saw a couple of

0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:04.480
<v Speaker 1>women say Michelle walked through those doors like two seconds

0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.880
<v Speaker 1>before she took those rollers out and saying, Okay, hold

0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:09.120
<v Speaker 1>these rollers, let's go. We're right here. And he was

0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:12.560
<v Speaker 1>holding his wife's hands so proudly. Something I like, I

0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:14.520
<v Speaker 1>like they love. I like what I see on the

0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:16.480
<v Speaker 1>outside looking at it. I'm not on the other side.

0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:18.360
<v Speaker 1>But for what they show us, I like their love.

0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:21.720
<v Speaker 1>But you know what, plame Barack better hold Michelle type

0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:27.760
<v Speaker 1>because everybody loves Michelle George, everybody, Garth Brooks the way

0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:30.480
<v Speaker 1>he ran over there, everybody was running over to Michelle.

0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Michelle was definitely from Hawaii. He is not any from Chicago.

0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:39.560
<v Speaker 1>He ain't pressed at all that nigga skills will always

0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:41.760
<v Speaker 1>keep her at home. Now I understand what I'm talking about.

0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Come out one of the topics we were going to

0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:47.600
<v Speaker 1>talk about, and then we found out we had Joe

0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:49.880
<v Speaker 1>Koy as a special guest today. We were we were

0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:53.240
<v Speaker 1>going to talk about the working homeless, because one of

0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:56.280
<v Speaker 1>our Instagram followers sent me a message saying that they

0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:59.000
<v Speaker 1>had taken and they had taken a lift ride and

0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:00.680
<v Speaker 1>they could just tell some and was off with this

0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:03.400
<v Speaker 1>driver and this particular driver had been living in their

0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:05.440
<v Speaker 1>car and they said, hey, Nick, I was not going

0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:07.720
<v Speaker 1>to report them, but it just reminded me that there

0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:10.120
<v Speaker 1>are still people who are struggling right now, and that

0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:12.640
<v Speaker 1>just because we have a new administration, we can't forget

0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:14.680
<v Speaker 1>the fact that there are those who are still struggling,

0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:17.920
<v Speaker 1>still in need of assistance and support in many different ways.

0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:19.920
<v Speaker 1>So let's just keep that in mind, and we'll we'll

0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:22.240
<v Speaker 1>do a deeper dive on he was living in the

0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.960
<v Speaker 1>kind and draving that's called rolling and just let me go,

0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:27.560
<v Speaker 1>let me go to work, and you just sit up

0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:29.240
<v Speaker 1>a side draft, let me go to work. You just

0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:32.680
<v Speaker 1>sit up and side drab. But but it's it's inflame.

0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Is it's an acknowledgement to that that you know, we

0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:36.520
<v Speaker 1>were talking about that there's some people who are just

0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:38.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to make it the best way that they can,

0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, and it's just it's still tough for a

0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:41.680
<v Speaker 1>lot of people. And one thing I do want to

0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:44.240
<v Speaker 1>just touch on really quickly before we get into our

0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.640
<v Speaker 1>special guests. We did want to make sure that we

0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:50.920
<v Speaker 1>honored and recognized the legendary Hank Aaron as well. He

0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:55.360
<v Speaker 1>was the phenomenal baseball player who just passed this past week. Um,

0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:58.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, just giving you some facts about him. Uh.

0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:01.040
<v Speaker 1>He was born in February and mobile out Obama, and

0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:03.960
<v Speaker 1>he wasn't actually allowed to play organized high school baseball

0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:07.480
<v Speaker 1>because it was whites only. Um. But despite all of

0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:11.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, the racism and all of just the the

0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:13.960
<v Speaker 1>criticism that he received, you know, he was the National

0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:17.000
<v Speaker 1>League MVP seven, the same year that the Braves won

0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:19.879
<v Speaker 1>the World Series. Um he was a two time National

0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:22.639
<v Speaker 1>League batting champion, a three time Gold Glove winner in

0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:25.680
<v Speaker 1>the right field, and a record five time All Star,

0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:28.960
<v Speaker 1>earning that honor every season but his first and his last.

0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:31.960
<v Speaker 1>So we would be remiss if we didn't pay homage

0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:34.560
<v Speaker 1>to him, say thank you for all of your accomplishments,

0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:37.399
<v Speaker 1>thank you for all of your civil rights activism, and

0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:39.439
<v Speaker 1>thank you for paving the way for others to be

0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:42.959
<v Speaker 1>able to be in this profession and excel in this sport.

0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:45.679
<v Speaker 1>Is that why they told try to tell the capital

0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:48.880
<v Speaker 1>of last week because those white only signs will be

0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:51.240
<v Speaker 1>becoming a thing of the pants that we probably never

0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:55.080
<v Speaker 1>see them again. Who knows. There's a myriad of things.

0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:58.919
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't expected to answer. I was just, you know,

0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:03.439
<v Speaker 1>throwing out, you know how we do, but but interestingly

0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:05.399
<v Speaker 1>enough to and you know, Nick, please chime and if

0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:08.159
<v Speaker 1>you have any thoughts though. Hank Aaron also received the

0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:11.960
<v Speaker 1>COVID vaccine on January six and passed away two weeks later,

0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:14.960
<v Speaker 1>which people were kind of drawing a bit of a

0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:17.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if we're gonna call it a conspiracy theory,

0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:20.280
<v Speaker 1>but they're drawing parallel to to say, he was eighty

0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:23.160
<v Speaker 1>six years old, got a COVID vaccine, and two weeks later,

0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:27.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, he passed away while he was sleeping. So yeah,

0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:31.359
<v Speaker 1>I think I think, Um In all I say, I

0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:34.320
<v Speaker 1>think that, like you and I kind of talked about before,

0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:36.440
<v Speaker 1>I think out of respect to the family. I understand

0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:39.760
<v Speaker 1>that is definitely circulating online. Um, but I think that

0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:42.120
<v Speaker 1>out of respect to the family and out of deference

0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:45.280
<v Speaker 1>to what we do not know, since this man is

0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:50.040
<v Speaker 1>indeed someone who deserves it, that that level of respect.

0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:52.880
<v Speaker 1>That until the family says that they believe that there's

0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:55.840
<v Speaker 1>a link or some type of tie, I I agree

0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:58.560
<v Speaker 1>that I would avoid that as well. They're just simply

0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:01.560
<v Speaker 1>because I don't know. I want to compound their pain

0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:04.000
<v Speaker 1>right now, because I think it has to be difficult

0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:07.120
<v Speaker 1>to when you have someone who is what considered by

0:19:07.160 --> 0:19:11.119
<v Speaker 1>many to be a national treasure, to lose them. You

0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:12.960
<v Speaker 1>don't only lose them to yourself, you lose them to

0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:14.800
<v Speaker 1>everyone else, who then wants to reach out to you

0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:16.920
<v Speaker 1>to say, oh, Lauren, I'm so sorry for your loss. O, Lauren,

0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm so sorry for your loss, So you almost grieve

0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:22.200
<v Speaker 1>it over and over again, or like many talk about

0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:24.840
<v Speaker 1>it and when you have lost you find your time yourself,

0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:27.840
<v Speaker 1>yourself trying to comfort them. They're they're they're breaking down.

0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:32.199
<v Speaker 1>You're like, oh you know what, Rosetta, rosetta ms Rosetta. Okay,

0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:35.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm remand you with your mama told you, uh oh,

0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:41.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm go ahead, go ahead. No no, no, no with you,

0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:44.720
<v Speaker 1>but we both of y'all what y'are saying, I'm not

0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:47.639
<v Speaker 1>going to be politically correct. I'm not taking the vaccine.

0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:51.560
<v Speaker 1>It's too much still coming out with this vaccine. One

0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:55.440
<v Speaker 1>is one disease, right is there It's one coronavirus, right,

0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Well there's different strands, Yeah, there are different, but how

0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:00.919
<v Speaker 1>many companies? Then why don't you talking about where we

0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:03.360
<v Speaker 1>had predicting the next three months is going to be

0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:06.520
<v Speaker 1>this virus so that's when you're gonna release it. Because

0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:08.560
<v Speaker 1>if you could predict that, why you didn't predict the

0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:11.440
<v Speaker 1>billion the numbers for the billionaire? A lot of reasons.

0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Ship don't uh all that speculation. I understand what everybody saying.

0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:17.520
<v Speaker 1>I even understand your inboxes when y'all sent me flame.

0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:20.439
<v Speaker 1>You shouldn't be against the vaccine. You can't speak for me,

0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:22.679
<v Speaker 1>because I don't speak for you. If you want to

0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:24.600
<v Speaker 1>take it, take it. If you don't want to take it,

0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:26.320
<v Speaker 1>don't take it. But don't let nobody tell you what

0:20:26.359 --> 0:20:27.919
<v Speaker 1>to do. Well, we don't want to make that the focus.

0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:31.520
<v Speaker 1>So you want to talk about hanking. So anyway, rest

0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:35.760
<v Speaker 1>in peace to legend he wait a minute, didn't Yeah,

0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:37.439
<v Speaker 1>but you can't be by name after him back in

0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:40.480
<v Speaker 1>the seventies and eighties or something. No, you're thinking, did he?

0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:47.040
<v Speaker 1>I thought we were going to baby Ruth. But Henry,

0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, yes, yes, he did know about that years

0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:54.680
<v Speaker 1>before you. I was looking up some things after he

0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:57.000
<v Speaker 1>passed away, so I didn't see that, you know anything

0:20:57.080 --> 0:20:59.480

<v Speaker 1>festivities from last week? You know what? I actually I

0:22:03.480 --> 0:22:07.960
<v Speaker 1>feel like we're getting into back into a uh a

0:22:08.119 --> 0:22:12.119
<v Speaker 1>kind of normal because, as you see, it was cold

0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:17.520
<v Speaker 1>here in Chicago. The winner finally showed up. It's always

0:22:17.520 --> 0:22:20.639
<v Speaker 1>cold in Chicago. And y'all carjacking car why they steal

0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:23.760
<v Speaker 1>in everybody's car, that cargo. Yeah, I know about that.

0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:26.520
<v Speaker 1>That That car jacking is ridiculous. It's getting out it.

0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:34.320
<v Speaker 1>It's it's really bad right now, carjackings, really carjacking people. Yeah,

0:22:35.280 --> 0:22:38.159
<v Speaker 1>it's it's really hot in the wicker Park, you know

0:22:38.240 --> 0:22:41.200
<v Speaker 1>where wicker Park is flaying wicker Park, and and in

0:22:41.359 --> 0:22:46.520
<v Speaker 1>like Logan Square and the gender fied neighborhoods. It's really

0:22:46.600 --> 0:22:50.520
<v Speaker 1>bad though. That the carjacking, it's kind of like scary

0:22:50.960 --> 0:22:54.720
<v Speaker 1>and more scary than than normal. So they're back into me.

0:22:55.000 --> 0:22:56.720
<v Speaker 1>So let me tell you how it's happening. Because I

0:22:56.800 --> 0:22:58.879
<v Speaker 1>went out with my girlfriends the other night. We went

0:22:58.960 --> 0:23:01.119
<v Speaker 1>to get taffy apples Becau that wanted some taffy apples,

0:23:01.640 --> 0:23:03.760
<v Speaker 1>and we were in the grocery, so the cars kind

0:23:03.800 --> 0:23:06.840
<v Speaker 1>of boxed you in to like one is on this side,

0:23:06.880 --> 0:23:08.720
<v Speaker 1>one is understand. So when you're backing out, then another

0:23:08.760 --> 0:23:11.600
<v Speaker 1>on pools behind you, so you kind of boxing. They

0:23:11.720 --> 0:23:14.560
<v Speaker 1>just and so I was I was paranoid, like are

0:23:14.560 --> 0:23:16.440
<v Speaker 1>they trying to jack us because we were boxing? I

0:23:16.480 --> 0:23:19.040
<v Speaker 1>think they were just maneuvering their car. So I told

0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:21.280
<v Speaker 1>my sister Tiff, baby, I'm about to hit this games

0:23:21.320 --> 0:23:23.000
<v Speaker 1>pedal back and straight on. We're about to just go

0:23:23.160 --> 0:23:24.800
<v Speaker 1>forward because you know I'm on there that we I

0:23:24.920 --> 0:23:27.960
<v Speaker 1>don't know to get away. But it wasn't that, it

0:23:28.119 --> 0:23:31.040
<v Speaker 1>was it was it was It was scary. It was

0:23:31.119 --> 0:23:34.520
<v Speaker 1>scary because you can't go to gas stations in certain neighborhoods,

0:23:34.600 --> 0:23:36.439
<v Speaker 1>especially after a certain time, because they're getting you at

0:23:36.480 --> 0:23:38.600
<v Speaker 1>the gas stations. Why are you going into gas when

0:23:38.640 --> 0:23:42.160
<v Speaker 1>you come back their way? Doing you what? That sounds

0:23:42.200 --> 0:23:47.320
<v Speaker 1>like training day to me. So we have a big,

0:23:48.000 --> 0:23:51.560
<v Speaker 1>a big spot North Avenue, Damon and Milwaukee Avenue and

0:23:51.920 --> 0:23:54.680
<v Speaker 1>I know flame and all my other Chicago people know

0:23:54.960 --> 0:23:58.160
<v Speaker 1>where that is. So that's a that's a train stop,

0:23:58.640 --> 0:24:01.600
<v Speaker 1>a major bus stops because there's three bus lines there

0:24:02.000 --> 0:24:05.040
<v Speaker 1>and the train and the cars, and that's a hotspot

0:24:05.119 --> 0:24:07.879
<v Speaker 1>for car jacking right there in the area. We have

0:24:08.040 --> 0:24:12.320
<v Speaker 1>twelve year old riding on bicycles with guns too. My

0:24:12.440 --> 0:24:14.440
<v Speaker 1>husband was like, he came home from work and he says,

0:24:14.480 --> 0:24:17.640
<v Speaker 1>you know this is mine you two summers ago, he said,

0:24:17.760 --> 0:24:21.800
<v Speaker 1>I saw a kid with a bicycle branding is ship branding?

0:24:21.880 --> 0:24:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Is sh it? Oh, I can't say that word. It

0:24:24.920 --> 0:24:28.760
<v Speaker 1>um at at people that were walking by. It's on

0:24:28.880 --> 0:24:30.920
<v Speaker 1>the bicycle. I said, get out of here. I go

0:24:31.040 --> 0:24:34.080
<v Speaker 1>to Julie's call the police. He said, no, I said,

0:24:34.080 --> 0:24:37.520
<v Speaker 1>I was trying to get home. It's a very scary situation.

0:24:37.560 --> 0:24:39.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna pray for all my people in Chicago.

0:24:39.359 --> 0:24:41.760
<v Speaker 1>Y'all be careful because it's dangerous out there and the

0:24:42.240 --> 0:24:44.159
<v Speaker 1>tide people get for money, and the longer we have

0:24:44.320 --> 0:24:48.399
<v Speaker 1>to wait, no, the worst is going to be for us.

0:24:48.560 --> 0:24:51.080
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, they don't need a good whooping. It's too

0:24:51.160 --> 0:24:53.000
<v Speaker 1>late for their Angela herd. They don't need a whoop

0:24:53.040 --> 0:24:56.080
<v Speaker 1>and it's too late for whoopings and sometimes you missed

0:24:56.119 --> 0:24:59.160
<v Speaker 1>that opportunity. What do you think about the homeless story

0:24:59.240 --> 0:25:01.359
<v Speaker 1>that Nick was a really talking about as well before

0:25:01.760 --> 0:25:04.400
<v Speaker 1>he went out, Actually, I'm the one who sent the message.

0:25:04.680 --> 0:25:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh it was you. Okay, So where did you say? So?

0:25:08.800 --> 0:25:10.719
<v Speaker 1>Where did you see the story? I mean, I went

0:25:10.800 --> 0:25:14.160
<v Speaker 1>to the grocery store Friday and I called for a lift.

0:25:15.119 --> 0:25:16.760
<v Speaker 1>And I don't want to get my driver in trouble.

0:25:16.840 --> 0:25:20.199
<v Speaker 1>So thank god my name is it on here as

0:25:20.440 --> 0:25:23.159
<v Speaker 1>as as well as my lift account um, because I

0:25:23.160 --> 0:25:25.280
<v Speaker 1>don't want to get the driver in trouble. He I

0:25:25.400 --> 0:25:27.639
<v Speaker 1>was putting my groceries in the in the trunk and

0:25:27.760 --> 0:25:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I looked at it was real neat, but there were

0:25:30.200 --> 0:25:31.920
<v Speaker 1>things in there and I was like, why does he

0:25:32.119 --> 0:25:36.040
<v Speaker 1>have you know, this, this, this tote and stuff? And

0:25:36.119 --> 0:25:39.320
<v Speaker 1>I I asked him, are you living out of your car? Again?

0:25:39.480 --> 0:25:43.360
<v Speaker 1>I have no filter? And he said why, He goes,

0:25:43.440 --> 0:25:46.040
<v Speaker 1>what do you mean? I said, well, I'm just asking you.

0:25:46.840 --> 0:25:49.960
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't afraid or anything, but I was like, you know,

0:25:50.040 --> 0:25:52.800
<v Speaker 1>I gotta I just it just hit you know what

0:25:52.920 --> 0:25:55.439
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like it all lined up in that quick second,

0:25:56.080 --> 0:25:57.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, in the back of my head. It just

0:25:57.960 --> 0:26:01.359
<v Speaker 1>added up. And so after are a couple of moments

0:26:01.440 --> 0:26:04.840
<v Speaker 1>of him like, oh you know, have you had experience?

0:26:04.880 --> 0:26:08.840
<v Speaker 1>But blah, you know, back and forth banter. He said, Okay,

0:26:08.920 --> 0:26:13.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna tell you, but he said, uh, you can't

0:26:13.480 --> 0:26:15.639
<v Speaker 1>report me. I said, well, no, I'm not gonna report you,

0:26:15.720 --> 0:26:18.040
<v Speaker 1>because if I report you, you're gonna report me and

0:26:18.119 --> 0:26:20.399
<v Speaker 1>my customer rating will go down. I was trying to

0:26:20.520 --> 0:26:23.359
<v Speaker 1>make I was trying to make him feel comfortable, you know,

0:26:23.520 --> 0:26:27.800
<v Speaker 1>with my banter, and found out that he actually decided,

0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:32.600
<v Speaker 1>well not decided, but because of financial circumstances, he started

0:26:32.640 --> 0:26:37.480
<v Speaker 1>to sell things off and minimalize his life, um, to

0:26:37.640 --> 0:26:40.720
<v Speaker 1>try to pay off debt, you know, and get himself

0:26:40.760 --> 0:26:43.399
<v Speaker 1>in a better place. So he is sleeping in his

0:26:43.520 --> 0:26:46.760
<v Speaker 1>trunk and he actually got blessed. I hope everybody prayed

0:26:46.800 --> 0:26:49.400
<v Speaker 1>for him. Um. He was supposed to be leaving here

0:26:49.640 --> 0:26:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Chicago to drive to Georgia yesterday Sunday. Wait, he was

0:26:54.800 --> 0:26:57.080
<v Speaker 1>living in the trunk. Yeah, he sleeps. He was sleeping.

0:26:57.200 --> 0:27:00.720
<v Speaker 1>He sleeps in his trunk. He showed me the pictures.

0:27:00.800 --> 0:27:02.760
<v Speaker 1>He explained to me how we did it. I said,

0:27:02.800 --> 0:27:05.800
<v Speaker 1>do you need a blanket, do you want something to eat?

0:27:06.359 --> 0:27:08.960
<v Speaker 1>I you know, as he's driving me to my home,

0:27:09.560 --> 0:27:11.680
<v Speaker 1>I was asking them these things. I was just like,

0:27:11.920 --> 0:27:15.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, and we we had a real nice conversation.

0:27:16.160 --> 0:27:18.320

0:28:58.120 --> 0:29:02.560
<v Speaker 1>what I'm doing? Are you wrong? In the studio right now,

0:29:02.600 --> 0:29:05.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing the audio version of my book. Very good.

0:29:05.520 --> 0:29:07.800
<v Speaker 1>You want to grant me for that? I'm I'm speaking

0:29:07.840 --> 0:29:10.640
<v Speaker 1>into it, fruition, You're gonna win. Give me that, Give

0:29:10.680 --> 0:29:13.240
<v Speaker 1>me that. Let me start off by saying, thank you

0:29:14.400 --> 0:29:17.320
<v Speaker 1>so much for joining us today. I appreciate you. Like,

0:29:17.440 --> 0:29:20.120
<v Speaker 1>can I just say something real quick? Sure? We had

0:29:20.200 --> 0:29:24.840
<v Speaker 1>to schedule another studio time? Uh for this, for this,

0:29:25.240 --> 0:29:28.880
<v Speaker 1>for reading this book? Because I had no idea. I

0:29:28.960 --> 0:29:35.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't know how to read. I had no idea I

0:29:35.200 --> 0:29:38.440
<v Speaker 1>cannot read to save my life, Monroe, I'm reading my

0:29:38.600 --> 0:29:43.440
<v Speaker 1>own book and uh, we're adding studio sessions. This is hard.

0:29:43.560 --> 0:29:46.720
<v Speaker 1>It's it's also emotional too, so it's like reading my

0:29:46.800 --> 0:29:50.040
<v Speaker 1>own words and going and reliving what I wrote about

0:29:50.400 --> 0:29:53.160
<v Speaker 1>is also just as hard, you know. So it takes

0:29:53.160 --> 0:29:55.760
<v Speaker 1>a toll on you mentally. Well we are. We all

0:29:55.840 --> 0:29:58.160
<v Speaker 1>read differently because you know what happens that when you write,

0:29:58.480 --> 0:30:01.000
<v Speaker 1>like like when you write your material, if flow is

0:30:01.080 --> 0:30:02.400
<v Speaker 1>once because you do it and you do what you

0:30:02.520 --> 0:30:03.960
<v Speaker 1>do it. But when you just have to read it

0:30:04.080 --> 0:30:06.760
<v Speaker 1>code just like code paid cold turkey, it could be

0:30:06.760 --> 0:30:08.640
<v Speaker 1>a little rough, It could be a little challenging. At

0:30:08.720 --> 0:30:10.640
<v Speaker 1>least you got your glasses. I don't even have my

0:30:10.720 --> 0:30:14.200
<v Speaker 1>real glasses on. I don't even read. All I see

0:30:14.240 --> 0:30:16.200
<v Speaker 1>is your teeth. I don't see. All I see is

0:30:16.280 --> 0:30:22.040
<v Speaker 1>your teeth. You're ridiculous, Joe. You are so freaking hilarious.

0:30:22.080 --> 0:30:24.480
<v Speaker 1>But you know what I love about you the absolute most.

0:30:24.600 --> 0:30:27.040
<v Speaker 1>That that relationship that you have with your son. That

0:30:27.400 --> 0:30:29.320
<v Speaker 1>when you talk about that, because I talked about my kids,

0:30:29.360 --> 0:30:31.840
<v Speaker 1>don't say when you talk about that, you people always

0:30:31.880 --> 0:30:33.560
<v Speaker 1>say that was a joke, That was a joke. There

0:30:33.680 --> 0:30:36.080
<v Speaker 1>is always some truth to some of those stories, and

0:30:36.600 --> 0:30:38.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, you have to listen between to find out

0:30:38.640 --> 0:30:41.040
<v Speaker 1>what is real and what is not. But dude, Joe

0:30:41.120 --> 0:30:44.000
<v Speaker 1>hustle is like, great, you got the Kevin Hard Times.

0:30:44.240 --> 0:30:46.320
<v Speaker 1>All you agents got that good hustle. I always say

0:30:46.320 --> 0:30:48.880
<v Speaker 1>that agents got the most disciplined. I think I'm part

0:30:48.880 --> 0:30:50.800
<v Speaker 1>of Asia. I'm Kim Joey, but you ain't met her yet.

0:30:53.880 --> 0:30:55.640
<v Speaker 1>I think it's just staying word. I just don't want

0:30:55.640 --> 0:30:58.800
<v Speaker 1>to be hungry man. Like you know, I'm like, it

0:30:58.920 --> 0:31:01.840
<v Speaker 1>took me this long to get here, and I really

0:31:01.880 --> 0:31:03.720
<v Speaker 1>don't want to go back to selling shoes at North

0:31:03.800 --> 0:31:07.640
<v Speaker 1>to Wreck. So I'm gonna maintain this and uh and

0:31:07.760 --> 0:31:10.440
<v Speaker 1>do what it what it takes to to to stay here. So,

0:31:11.560 --> 0:31:14.560
<v Speaker 1>and you were doing comedy thirty years, right, thirty years,

0:31:14.640 --> 0:31:17.000
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be thirty one year pretty soon. Yeah. I

0:31:17.080 --> 0:31:20.200
<v Speaker 1>see people always thinking because they see you, oh my god,

0:31:20.280 --> 0:31:22.680
<v Speaker 1>he just break out coming. He just came out of nowhere.

0:31:22.960 --> 0:31:24.640
<v Speaker 1>They don't know all the years that you be in

0:31:24.680 --> 0:31:27.000
<v Speaker 1>the trenches and doing the hole in the wall clubs

0:31:27.040 --> 0:31:29.360
<v Speaker 1>and getting walked out on by the promoters. And he

0:31:29.480 --> 0:31:31.560
<v Speaker 1>was only getting twenty fives and then when I got

0:31:31.640 --> 0:31:33.680
<v Speaker 1>tea in for you. Oh my god, y'all don't know

0:31:33.760 --> 0:31:36.800
<v Speaker 1>those horrible days. So it's very worth it when you

0:31:36.960 --> 0:31:38.720
<v Speaker 1>come and say stuff like that that you know it

0:31:38.800 --> 0:31:41.280
<v Speaker 1>took you a long time to get here, and you

0:31:41.400 --> 0:31:44.040
<v Speaker 1>got to suck the bone, marrow out the bone, Joe,

0:31:44.200 --> 0:31:47.680
<v Speaker 1>get it all. Get it. You don't know how you

0:31:47.760 --> 0:31:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Filipinos do. I used to day the Filipino hilarious. You're

0:31:52.600 --> 0:31:55.720
<v Speaker 1>so funny. Listen. Let me. We were just talking about

0:31:55.760 --> 0:31:58.000
<v Speaker 1>this with my son because my son doesn't want to

0:31:58.040 --> 0:32:00.600
<v Speaker 1>eat chicken anymore. And uh, and I was like, you

0:32:00.680 --> 0:32:03.680
<v Speaker 1>gotta see how my brothers. The way my brother ate

0:32:03.800 --> 0:32:06.840
<v Speaker 1>chicken is disgusting. He would he would know off the

0:32:06.920 --> 0:32:10.400
<v Speaker 1>cartilage crunch it that he cracked the middle and sucked

0:32:10.440 --> 0:32:12.560
<v Speaker 1>the meryl. So what you're saying is not a lie.

0:32:14.880 --> 0:32:20.360
<v Speaker 1>That sounds nutrition though it was so bad it was

0:32:20.520 --> 0:32:21.960
<v Speaker 1>would be into the poor room. Just like I can't

0:32:22.000 --> 0:32:23.920
<v Speaker 1>eat anymore, Robert. I look at my brother eating just

0:32:24.000 --> 0:32:26.720
<v Speaker 1>like I can't eat. Man. So let me introduce you

0:32:26.760 --> 0:32:33.120
<v Speaker 1>to Own because he's in Arkansas. He also does the

0:32:33.160 --> 0:32:35.880
<v Speaker 1>news over there in Arkansas. We watching so Lauren been

0:32:35.920 --> 0:32:38.800
<v Speaker 1>watching you. She knew who you was. Of course I did.

0:32:38.920 --> 0:32:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Nicholas knew who you were. But we've been just getting

0:32:41.280 --> 0:32:43.440
<v Speaker 1>freshened up on some of your stuff that you have done.

0:32:43.440 --> 0:32:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Because you've got two Netflix specials on now or three

0:32:45.720 --> 0:32:49.520
<v Speaker 1>three three Next Successors on right now, that's been trending

0:32:49.600 --> 0:32:54.440
<v Speaker 1>for what two years? Yeah, change changed my life actually

0:32:54.760 --> 0:32:56.400
<v Speaker 1>this last one. You did that Lord, and I was

0:32:56.440 --> 0:32:58.880
<v Speaker 1>talking about that because what Tiffany did for me was

0:32:59.000 --> 0:33:01.760
<v Speaker 1>bring me on because nobody else would have given me

0:33:01.840 --> 0:33:04.080
<v Speaker 1>that opportunity. All those people that you brought on, you

0:33:04.200 --> 0:33:06.840
<v Speaker 1>given those opportunities. That payback is great, Joe, What made

0:33:06.880 --> 0:33:10.880
<v Speaker 1>you think that? Um? You know, it's it's me as

0:33:10.960 --> 0:33:13.880
<v Speaker 1>a kid and not having an identity, you know, being

0:33:14.160 --> 0:33:16.640
<v Speaker 1>being a mixed kid. You struggle, right, you stand on

0:33:16.720 --> 0:33:19.600
<v Speaker 1>the fence and it's like, I'm white, but I'm also Filipino,

0:33:19.760 --> 0:33:22.120
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I'm proud of being Filipino. And then

0:33:22.280 --> 0:33:25.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, when my mom and dad divorced, I gravitated

0:33:25.760 --> 0:33:29.160
<v Speaker 1>towards the Filipino side. So trying to get into this

0:33:29.560 --> 0:33:33.160
<v Speaker 1>industry and talking about my mom and and knowing getting

0:33:33.200 --> 0:33:38.040
<v Speaker 1>it and and watching TV and there's no representation. You know,

0:33:39.520 --> 0:33:41.840
<v Speaker 1>when I when I finally got that opportunity to open

0:33:41.920 --> 0:33:43.520
<v Speaker 1>the door. I was like, I'm gonna let them all in,

0:33:44.360 --> 0:33:47.800
<v Speaker 1>you know. I'm I'm gonna get Filipino dancers, I'm gonna

0:33:47.800 --> 0:33:50.960
<v Speaker 1>get Filipino singers, I'm gonna get a Filipino producer, I'm

0:33:51.560 --> 0:33:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Filipino rappers. Everything. I'm gonna get everybody in this door

0:33:54.480 --> 0:33:57.760
<v Speaker 1>that I can, just to give us that that one

0:33:57.840 --> 0:34:00.320
<v Speaker 1>little chance, that little opportunity to show the world what

0:34:00.360 --> 0:34:02.280
<v Speaker 1>our culture is all about. And that's what that was

0:34:02.360 --> 0:34:04.880
<v Speaker 1>all all about. Literally, that's what I pitched in the room.

0:34:06.160 --> 0:34:08.320
<v Speaker 1>It was great, it was It was a phenomenal. My

0:34:08.440 --> 0:34:10.680
<v Speaker 1>whole thing is I love when we bring recognition to

0:34:10.760 --> 0:34:13.280
<v Speaker 1>the arts, specifically because I think that as a whole,

0:34:13.480 --> 0:34:16.200
<v Speaker 1>the arts isn't value to something important anymore, which I

0:34:16.239 --> 0:34:19.000
<v Speaker 1>think is ludicrous and just so unfortunate. So when you

0:34:19.160 --> 0:34:22.920
<v Speaker 1>brought all those different elements from music to dance to comedy,

0:34:23.320 --> 0:34:26.200
<v Speaker 1>it was just like a great mashup of just what

0:34:26.520 --> 0:34:29.160
<v Speaker 1>you know we should really what makes us happy really,

0:34:29.719 --> 0:34:32.719
<v Speaker 1>So for me, that was probably my favorite special so

0:34:32.840 --> 0:34:34.360
<v Speaker 1>far that you've done, because I'm sure there's going to

0:34:34.400 --> 0:34:36.600
<v Speaker 1>be more, because like you said, you're hungry so I

0:34:36.680 --> 0:34:38.759
<v Speaker 1>know that there's definitely going to be more. But being

0:34:39.239 --> 0:34:42.560
<v Speaker 1>being that you've had this thirty year career though, one

0:34:42.640 --> 0:34:45.200
<v Speaker 1>who was your inspiration to even get you to be

0:34:45.320 --> 0:34:49.280
<v Speaker 1>in this space just in comedy, the space of comedy

0:34:49.560 --> 0:34:52.160
<v Speaker 1>wherever you want to take it. It was Eddie Murphy.

0:34:55.520 --> 0:34:57.520
<v Speaker 1>There was something about Eddie like I was already into

0:34:57.600 --> 0:35:00.320
<v Speaker 1>stand up, like I loved Richard and I loved Arland

0:35:00.400 --> 0:35:02.879
<v Speaker 1>and all that. You know, we're talking like nineteen eight,

0:35:03.080 --> 0:35:06.000
<v Speaker 1>one eighty two, right, I was getting into comedy. But

0:35:06.200 --> 0:35:10.960
<v Speaker 1>just something about the youthful and the hipness and the

0:35:11.040 --> 0:35:15.120
<v Speaker 1>coolness factor of Eddie that that resonated with me, Like

0:35:15.280 --> 0:35:18.360
<v Speaker 1>I enjoyed listening to him, like he was something. He

0:35:18.520 --> 0:35:20.440
<v Speaker 1>was cool to look at, you know, the way he

0:35:20.520 --> 0:35:23.240
<v Speaker 1>walked on stage, the way I don't know, just everything

0:35:23.280 --> 0:35:25.040
<v Speaker 1>about that guy, the way he talked about his mom,

0:35:25.560 --> 0:35:28.080
<v Speaker 1>the way he talked about his uncle, like it was

0:35:28.160 --> 0:35:30.560
<v Speaker 1>just I don't know everything that he did. I was like,

0:35:30.760 --> 0:35:32.839
<v Speaker 1>I gotta be him. I want to be I want

0:35:32.880 --> 0:35:35.319
<v Speaker 1>to be Eddie. I want to tell stories like Eddie

0:35:35.840 --> 0:35:38.680
<v Speaker 1>you did, because that that that gangster uncle that don't

0:35:38.680 --> 0:35:40.520
<v Speaker 1>get away as uncle here when you talk about your

0:35:40.560 --> 0:35:43.840
<v Speaker 1>gangster sisters. That is hilarious to me. But let me

0:35:43.880 --> 0:35:45.759
<v Speaker 1>tell you someone. They always say web black men don't

0:35:45.800 --> 0:35:48.520
<v Speaker 1>dave black women because they grew up with black sisters.

0:35:48.520 --> 0:35:51.759
<v Speaker 1>Because when I tell are you all day? And my

0:35:51.880 --> 0:35:54.759
<v Speaker 1>son is like, I'm getting anything but as black girl,

0:35:54.920 --> 0:35:57.120
<v Speaker 1>And that's bad to say, but it's the true Joe

0:35:57.200 --> 0:35:59.440
<v Speaker 1>that is. And you. I love that you are raw

0:35:59.600 --> 0:36:02.879
<v Speaker 1>and fentic and you say so much of what people

0:36:02.920 --> 0:36:05.239
<v Speaker 1>are thinking. And I hate that comedy has become so

0:36:05.400 --> 0:36:08.040
<v Speaker 1>censured that we can't say anything without offending these groups.

0:36:08.280 --> 0:36:10.840
<v Speaker 1>But I don't commend you for being just like me,

0:36:11.040 --> 0:36:15.799
<v Speaker 1>but just Filipino. I'm part of Filipino to I'm Kim Joy. Say,

0:36:15.840 --> 0:36:18.719
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about Kim Joy. Lets. So Kim Joy is

0:36:18.760 --> 0:36:20.840
<v Speaker 1>a character I created because people always say that I

<v Speaker 1>got Asian ask because especially if I had an edible

0:36:23.440 --> 0:36:27.440
<v Speaker 1>and I'd be looking really really uh. And that's my

0:36:27.480 --> 0:36:29.200
<v Speaker 1>little blocker, because you know, you get the haters on

0:36:29.280 --> 0:36:31.440

0:37:56.800 --> 0:38:01.000
<v Speaker 1>what's been going on? Man? I've been loving this year

0:38:01.640 --> 0:38:04.600
<v Speaker 1>like I've never This is my first time being with

0:38:04.680 --> 0:38:07.919
<v Speaker 1>my son a whole year, like a whole year, every

0:38:08.000 --> 0:38:11.560
<v Speaker 1>weekend and with my son like that's the last I

0:38:11.640 --> 0:38:13.919
<v Speaker 1>mean for the whole time my son has been born.

0:38:14.000 --> 0:38:16.719
<v Speaker 1>I've been always gone every weekend. You know that. That's

0:38:17.320 --> 0:38:20.160
<v Speaker 1>that's the life of a comic. And man, two thousand

0:38:20.680 --> 0:38:23.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty was just I know it sucked, but man, I

0:38:23.920 --> 0:38:26.400
<v Speaker 1>loved it. I was with my son every single day,

0:38:26.440 --> 0:38:28.160
<v Speaker 1>and and thank god I was in a position where

0:38:28.160 --> 0:38:30.920
<v Speaker 1>I can financially do that, and and you know, and

0:38:31.040 --> 0:38:32.800
<v Speaker 1>I know that there's people out there that are struggling,

0:38:32.840 --> 0:38:34.640
<v Speaker 1>and I can't wait for things to get back to

0:38:34.719 --> 0:38:38.360
<v Speaker 1>normal again. But god, damn, I loved every minute with

0:38:38.440 --> 0:38:41.600
<v Speaker 1>my son. It was the best. Okay, So Joe, I

0:38:41.680 --> 0:38:43.640
<v Speaker 1>gotta ask, because you've got a lot of swag, and

0:38:43.680 --> 0:38:46.319
<v Speaker 1>you say you Filipino and white. Where did you get

0:38:46.360 --> 0:38:50.040
<v Speaker 1>out of this way from from the Filippino from? I

0:38:50.120 --> 0:38:53.520
<v Speaker 1>think that's on the Filipino side. My brother, if you

0:38:53.600 --> 0:38:56.680
<v Speaker 1>ever met my brother, he was he was women, he

0:38:56.760 --> 0:38:59.800
<v Speaker 1>was wearing women's taper jeans in the eighties because he

0:38:59.880 --> 0:39:02.280
<v Speaker 1>was the only thing that was tapered. You know, guys

0:39:02.360 --> 0:39:04.239
<v Speaker 1>usually have the straight legs in the back of the day.

0:39:04.840 --> 0:39:08.279
<v Speaker 1>My brother was already wearing uh, women's genes, but doll

0:39:08.360 --> 0:39:12.759
<v Speaker 1>sassoon and like, look how it looks. Joe goes right

0:39:12.800 --> 0:39:15.680
<v Speaker 1>off top of my boots. And he was right, like,

0:39:16.360 --> 0:39:18.840
<v Speaker 1>I want women's genes too, but for very different reasons.

0:39:18.920 --> 0:39:25.160
<v Speaker 1>But that's buddy. Yeah, my brother always had that swag. Man,

0:39:25.200 --> 0:39:27.040
<v Speaker 1>there was something about him, and you know, and and

0:39:27.120 --> 0:39:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Filipinos just got that that Spanish influence, that that swag

0:39:30.920 --> 0:39:34.160
<v Speaker 1>that it's it's pretty cool, man. So I've always been

0:39:34.200 --> 0:39:38.120
<v Speaker 1>in touch with the culture. You know, now you and

0:39:38.200 --> 0:39:40.759
<v Speaker 1>you know what's beautiful about that because they always want

0:39:40.800 --> 0:39:43.040
<v Speaker 1>to tell each culture that you need to do this,

0:39:43.239 --> 0:39:45.640
<v Speaker 1>to try to go to go with the flow of

0:39:45.719 --> 0:39:48.880
<v Speaker 1>whatever culture is supposed to be the crim crime culture,

0:39:49.640 --> 0:39:51.680
<v Speaker 1>and then you lose who you are. I never wanted

0:39:51.719 --> 0:39:53.840
<v Speaker 1>to lose my blackness. I never wanted to lose my

0:39:54.480 --> 0:39:57.200
<v Speaker 1>lgbt qness. But it's only a little bit of that.

0:39:58.040 --> 0:39:59.880
<v Speaker 1>I never wanted to lose who I was as a

0:40:00.040 --> 0:40:02.839
<v Speaker 1>comic because when you let people mold you to who

0:40:02.880 --> 0:40:05.000
<v Speaker 1>they want you to be, you lose yourself and then

0:40:05.040 --> 0:40:07.399
<v Speaker 1>you lose what you could really have could have been.

0:40:07.760 --> 0:40:09.600
<v Speaker 1>And I love that you so stay so true to

0:40:09.640 --> 0:40:11.520
<v Speaker 1>who you are and keep your culture right there in

0:40:11.560 --> 0:40:13.600
<v Speaker 1>the front, because I talked about the real stuff and

0:40:13.760 --> 0:40:16.840
<v Speaker 1>and people always say you just tell everything and so authentic,

0:40:16.920 --> 0:40:20.359
<v Speaker 1>Joe Coy, you tell everything. That is what makes us

0:40:20.440 --> 0:40:22.960
<v Speaker 1>love you because when you talk about those stories about

0:40:23.000 --> 0:40:26.360
<v Speaker 1>the mama and how you grew up, and you know

0:40:26.560 --> 0:40:29.759
<v Speaker 1>we were We all have had hard times. We have

0:40:29.920 --> 0:40:32.560
<v Speaker 1>different faces and different skin color, but a lot of

0:40:32.680 --> 0:40:37.320
<v Speaker 1>us have the same stories, just from different nationalities. And

0:40:37.400 --> 0:40:40.440
<v Speaker 1>I love I love the fact that that that's funny

0:40:40.600 --> 0:40:43.120
<v Speaker 1>is universal. You know, we all speak the same language

0:40:43.120 --> 0:40:44.839
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to funny. You know what I mean,

0:40:44.920 --> 0:40:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Like when I tell my mom and how she disciplined

0:40:47.080 --> 0:40:49.760
<v Speaker 1>or how she took care of me, and then getting

0:40:49.800 --> 0:40:52.000
<v Speaker 1>a response from people that aren't Filipino, go, my mom

0:40:52.120 --> 0:40:54.800
<v Speaker 1>did the same thing. I'm like, exactly, because moms are moms.

0:40:55.360 --> 0:40:57.640
<v Speaker 1>Just my mom happens to be Filipino, but she's still

0:40:57.680 --> 0:41:01.799
<v Speaker 1>a mom. She's doing mom ship. Like we can all relate.

0:41:01.840 --> 0:41:03.799
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't matter that I'm Filipino, that you're not gonna

0:41:03.880 --> 0:41:07.040
<v Speaker 1>understand what I'm talking about. Filipinos are nicer though, because

0:41:07.040 --> 0:41:08.640
<v Speaker 1>she let you stay till you was twenty eight, and

0:41:08.680 --> 0:41:12.200
<v Speaker 1>the black House you got to about and no matter what,

0:41:12.600 --> 0:41:16.759
<v Speaker 1>they don't change. They moved the house a lot, like

0:41:16.840 --> 0:41:19.160
<v Speaker 1>a big spatula. Come and move the house around to

0:41:19.239 --> 0:41:20.879
<v Speaker 1>the two blocks over. You won't even know where. It's

0:41:20.880 --> 0:41:26.400
<v Speaker 1>a hilarious. But speaking of your family though, because I

0:41:26.480 --> 0:41:29.359
<v Speaker 1>just watched in his Elements your Special, was that joke

0:41:29.400 --> 0:41:32.640
<v Speaker 1>about your aunt true we're regarding your name? Yeah, that

0:41:33.800 --> 0:41:36.840

<v Speaker 1>AUNTI Lynn, she called her Langoy. That was her nickname,

0:41:45.280 --> 0:41:47.680
<v Speaker 1>so she always called her Langoy, and mine was Joe Koy,

0:41:47.960 --> 0:41:49.719
<v Speaker 1>So I thought she'd just like to put ois at

0:41:49.719 --> 0:41:53.080
<v Speaker 1>the end of the names. And then last year she

0:41:53.360 --> 0:41:55.319

0:42:10.320 --> 0:42:11.880
<v Speaker 1>I thought she was calling me Joe Coy. I've been

0:42:11.880 --> 0:42:17.680

0:42:31.600 --> 0:42:33.800
<v Speaker 1>that's so amazing that you didn't know that. But we

0:42:33.840 --> 0:42:36.000
<v Speaker 1>actually have some people in the comments that are asking questions.

0:42:36.040 --> 0:42:37.560

<v Speaker 1>asking Joe Coy, tell us about your teeth. They're all fake.

0:42:48.520 --> 0:42:51.719
<v Speaker 1>They're all faked. It is the most expensive toilet you'll

0:42:51.760 --> 0:42:54.960
<v Speaker 1>ever see. I spent almost I bought two sets of

0:42:55.280 --> 0:42:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Veneers and my first set was fifty eight thousand and

0:42:58.760 --> 0:43:01.440
<v Speaker 1>the second one was six thousand. I got it from

0:43:01.560 --> 0:43:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Dr mcdahi in Beverly Hills. He's the best. He's been

0:43:04.000 --> 0:43:07.640
<v Speaker 1>on Oprah. He he's amazing, he's been on doctors. This

0:43:07.760 --> 0:43:10.000
<v Speaker 1>guy does the best set of teeth. I fell on

0:43:10.120 --> 0:43:14.160
<v Speaker 1>a rock when I was twelve. Twelve years old, I

0:43:14.200 --> 0:43:16.440
<v Speaker 1>fell on a boulder, face first and knocked out my

0:43:16.520 --> 0:43:19.200
<v Speaker 1>fore front teeth, all four of them. They're all broken

0:43:19.280 --> 0:43:23.160
<v Speaker 1>in half. So my whole until I was like thirty

0:43:23.280 --> 0:43:26.640
<v Speaker 1>years old, I had like these big brown teeth that

0:43:26.719 --> 0:43:29.560
<v Speaker 1>were just they were hideous. And Uh. When I finally

0:43:29.600 --> 0:43:31.719
<v Speaker 1>got money, I'm like, I'm gonna change this ship right now.

0:43:32.440 --> 0:43:35.680
<v Speaker 1>You change it. They shot, but you tell that doctor

0:43:35.800 --> 0:43:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Huluka whatever his name is, that's what they can do.

0:43:38.160 --> 0:43:41.479
<v Speaker 1>You got a discount because I can't affords. Good guy

0:43:45.080 --> 0:43:50.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't cost that much. Good God. Yeah it was pricey,

0:43:50.840 --> 0:43:52.719
<v Speaker 1>but it was worth it. I am very excited to

0:43:52.800 --> 0:43:54.320
<v Speaker 1>one day be in the same space with you and

0:43:54.400 --> 0:43:56.239
<v Speaker 1>be on the stage with you because I didn't think

0:43:56.320 --> 0:43:59.880
<v Speaker 1>that the energy will be fantastic. Well, we gotta get

0:44:00.000 --> 0:44:02.000
<v Speaker 1>it is damn pandemic. And well I'm asking you about

0:44:02.040 --> 0:44:03.719
<v Speaker 1>this pandemic, Joe, what do you think about this whole

0:44:03.800 --> 0:44:06.359
<v Speaker 1>vaccine thing? What's your take on the vaccine? I don't

0:44:06.360 --> 0:44:08.080
<v Speaker 1>know even how. I don't even know how to speak

0:44:08.160 --> 0:44:10.440
<v Speaker 1>on that right now. It's you know, it's a sensitive

0:44:10.480 --> 0:44:12.920
<v Speaker 1>time right now. You know you're talking to a guy

0:44:13.000 --> 0:44:15.760
<v Speaker 1>that's never taking a flu shot because I don't believe

0:44:15.800 --> 0:44:20.279
<v Speaker 1>in flu shots. Uh, we're talking about a guy that's uh,

0:44:20.840 --> 0:44:23.520
<v Speaker 1>that has a child that I don't give vaccines to

0:44:23.960 --> 0:44:25.920
<v Speaker 1>and I've never had because I've heard a lot of

0:44:26.040 --> 0:44:29.640
<v Speaker 1>things about vaccines, you know what I mean. So what

0:44:29.760 --> 0:44:31.879
<v Speaker 1>do I do now? Like, where do I go? Where

0:44:31.880 --> 0:44:35.120
<v Speaker 1>do I stand? What? We're at a different time now,

0:44:36.360 --> 0:44:38.120
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know how to act or how to respond.

0:44:38.160 --> 0:44:41.120
<v Speaker 1>And then also my livelihood depends on on this decision

0:44:41.200 --> 0:44:45.360
<v Speaker 1>as well, I feel, so as of right now, the

0:44:45.480 --> 0:44:49.319
<v Speaker 1>vaccine can go. We'll go fund itself until it becomes right,

0:44:50.480 --> 0:44:53.239
<v Speaker 1>until I don't see somebody fading or dying from it.

0:44:55.560 --> 0:44:58.040
<v Speaker 1>Myself in this little booth. My mama told me, when

0:44:58.080 --> 0:44:59.759

0:49:29.160 --> 0:49:31.120
<v Speaker 1>hurdle you've had to overcome just to kind of get

0:49:31.160 --> 0:49:34.919
<v Speaker 1>to that next phase of your career. When Netflix told

0:49:35.000 --> 0:49:38.520
<v Speaker 1>me no, when they said when when they were they

0:49:38.560 --> 0:49:41.799
<v Speaker 1>were they were getting everyone our spec they were giving

0:49:41.840 --> 0:49:44.120
<v Speaker 1>our specials. In two thousand and seventeen, they were, they

0:49:44.160 --> 0:49:47.800

0:49:50.640 --> 0:49:52.000
<v Speaker 1>thought for sure they were gonna give me an hour

0:49:52.040 --> 0:49:54.719
<v Speaker 1>special and they never offered. So then we kept taking

0:49:54.800 --> 0:49:57.560
<v Speaker 1>meetings and they kept saying no, And then I offered

0:49:57.600 --> 0:49:59.520
<v Speaker 1>to fly them out to watch me perform, and they

0:49:59.600 --> 0:50:02.400
<v Speaker 1>kept saying and know and and I just didn't understand

0:50:02.440 --> 0:50:06.160

0:50:08.040 --> 0:50:12.400
<v Speaker 1>your subscription, uh to Netflix, they don't like Asians on

0:50:12.440 --> 0:50:14.520
<v Speaker 1>their network. I want to do something like real ill

0:50:14.640 --> 0:50:16.560
<v Speaker 1>like that, but but I knew that would be the

0:50:16.640 --> 0:50:20.720
<v Speaker 1>stupidest decision. So uh, I went and produced it myself,

0:50:20.920 --> 0:50:23.320
<v Speaker 1>so live from Seattle, I shot myself, I paid for

0:50:23.440 --> 0:50:26.200
<v Speaker 1>it myself, and uh and I remember as I was

0:50:26.280 --> 0:50:29.040
<v Speaker 1>taping it, they still called us and let us know

0:50:29.200 --> 0:50:31.279
<v Speaker 1>that that they weren't interested, like they got when that

0:50:31.360 --> 0:50:33.160
<v Speaker 1>we were taping it ourselves and they're like, hey, we're

0:50:33.160 --> 0:50:36.920
<v Speaker 1>still uninterested. And that was by far the biggest obstacle

0:50:37.040 --> 0:50:39.960
<v Speaker 1>ever because I literally wanted to quit stand up at

0:50:40.000 --> 0:50:42.560
<v Speaker 1>that point because I just was like, it's never gonna

0:50:42.600 --> 0:50:44.040
<v Speaker 1>happen if they're not gonna give me a shot, Like

0:50:44.040 --> 0:50:45.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand why they don't even want to give

0:50:45.760 --> 0:50:48.120
<v Speaker 1>me a shot. Like I was, I was killing on

0:50:48.200 --> 0:50:50.200
<v Speaker 1>the road. I had this huge fan base, but yet

0:50:50.239 --> 0:50:52.640
<v Speaker 1>I can't get a Netflix special and I didn't get it,

0:50:53.360 --> 0:50:55.239
<v Speaker 1>and whatever the case may be, you know what I mean.

0:50:55.400 --> 0:50:58.480
<v Speaker 1>They have their reasons and and I'm not gonna hate

0:50:58.520 --> 0:51:01.640
<v Speaker 1>them for that. But if I didn't shoot that, specially myself,

0:51:01.719 --> 0:51:04.239
<v Speaker 1>they would have never got it. And we brought it

0:51:04.320 --> 0:51:06.120
<v Speaker 1>into them and they bought it from me. Thank God.

0:51:06.160 --> 0:51:11.840
<v Speaker 1>I love you Netflix, and I love Netflix. I love that.

0:51:12.040 --> 0:51:14.440
<v Speaker 1>I love this story that you just told because you

0:51:14.480 --> 0:51:16.480
<v Speaker 1>know that did Joe. I just me and Loen just

0:51:16.600 --> 0:51:18.560
<v Speaker 1>had this come say, when somebody tells me no, it

0:51:18.680 --> 0:51:21.319
<v Speaker 1>puts it makes me angry and you want to retaliate.

0:51:21.600 --> 0:51:23.560
<v Speaker 1>But what it should do is put a fire up

0:51:23.600 --> 0:51:25.440
<v Speaker 1>on you to say, you know what, I'm still you

0:51:25.480 --> 0:51:27.160
<v Speaker 1>don't tell me no. You don't get the right to

0:51:27.239 --> 0:51:29.840
<v Speaker 1>tell me. I love that because we just had this

0:51:30.000 --> 0:51:31.759
<v Speaker 1>with a damn audition the other day and after and

0:51:31.840 --> 0:51:33.839
<v Speaker 1>I did much better than I did that first hand.

0:51:33.960 --> 0:51:37.239
<v Speaker 1>But that's great, Joe. Yeah, And and um so do

0:51:37.360 --> 0:51:39.480

0:52:02.920 --> 0:52:05.920
<v Speaker 1>The Mother and the Sun was very you and when

0:52:05.920 --> 0:52:07.879

<v Speaker 1>was I don't know. Filippinos y'all gangster, y'all just hood.

0:52:16.200 --> 0:52:20.680
<v Speaker 1>I love its Filipino. I'm gonna go home and watch me.

0:52:20.680 --> 0:52:26.040
<v Speaker 1>It's the Filipino point just today. But they're not gonna

0:52:26.080 --> 0:52:28.520
<v Speaker 1>have a hundred and fifty thousand dollars teeth. I'm just

0:52:28.680 --> 0:52:41.719
<v Speaker 1>saying my two cents from row. That's crazy hilarious. But

0:52:41.800 --> 0:52:43.759
<v Speaker 1>I didn't want to backtrack though. So how did you

0:52:43.880 --> 0:52:45.680
<v Speaker 1>end up getting your special on Netflix? Like? How did

0:52:45.719 --> 0:52:48.799
<v Speaker 1>they approach you? What happened? They didn't approach me. They

0:52:48.880 --> 0:52:51.920
<v Speaker 1>I shot at myself and then I cut it myself

0:52:52.640 --> 0:52:54.840
<v Speaker 1>and uh, and then we had I had my agent

0:52:54.920 --> 0:52:57.080
<v Speaker 1>bring it in and just go, hey, watch it, please,

0:52:57.120 --> 0:52:59.600
<v Speaker 1>just give it one more shot. And they watched it,

0:53:00.080 --> 0:53:02.720
<v Speaker 1>and God bless that whole team. Man, I love everybody

0:53:02.800 --> 0:53:06.000
<v Speaker 1>over there. And mind you, I think there was a

0:53:06.080 --> 0:53:09.600
<v Speaker 1>transition too, because the new cats that came in, you know,

0:53:09.800 --> 0:53:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Robbie Prau and Joanne and and uh god, Robert Garmo

0:53:14.040 --> 0:53:15.759
<v Speaker 1>and god, there's so many names I want to shout

0:53:15.760 --> 0:53:19.120
<v Speaker 1>out right now, but uh, thank god they came in, Neil,

0:53:19.520 --> 0:53:21.279
<v Speaker 1>they all came in and they saw that special on

0:53:21.360 --> 0:53:24.120
<v Speaker 1>the campaigned and put it on that that two thousand

0:53:24.200 --> 0:53:28.160
<v Speaker 1>seventeen roster Man and Man that changed my life. Bro that,

0:53:28.360 --> 0:53:31.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean that life from Seattle changed my life. I

0:53:31.360 --> 0:53:35.520
<v Speaker 1>went from comedy clubs to like selling out multiple theaters.

0:53:35.560 --> 0:53:37.840
<v Speaker 1>I think I broke I broke Mariah Carey's record in

0:53:37.960 --> 0:53:42.839
<v Speaker 1>uh Hawaii for a twenty thousand tickets sold like by

0:53:42.880 --> 0:53:46.040
<v Speaker 1>a solo artists, Like it was crazy. So when you

0:53:46.160 --> 0:53:48.400
<v Speaker 1>when you speak about that, Joe, is so much pride

0:53:48.440 --> 0:53:50.640
<v Speaker 1>and so much happiness in your voice when you that's

0:53:50.719 --> 0:53:52.839
<v Speaker 1>that's great. So you it's very authentic what you say.

0:53:52.880 --> 0:53:55.800
<v Speaker 1>And then Joanne is a movement shake it over in Netflix. Joanne.

0:53:56.080 --> 0:53:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Joanne will pick up the phone and say done, and

0:53:58.440 --> 0:54:04.680
<v Speaker 1>it's she got that kind of juice. Tiffany had ish

0:54:04.840 --> 0:54:08.040
<v Speaker 1>my eyeballs told me I told her you were coming

0:54:08.080 --> 0:54:09.719
<v Speaker 1>on the show. She's like, ill, he wants me to

0:54:09.800 --> 0:54:11.440
<v Speaker 1>do this movie. I said, well girl, I'll tell him

0:54:11.440 --> 0:54:13.279
<v Speaker 1>to do the movie and right to tell me about

0:54:13.280 --> 0:54:15.279

0:54:22.840 --> 0:54:25.640
<v Speaker 1>that's my girl. Man, we go way back. I was

0:54:25.680 --> 0:54:28.360
<v Speaker 1>just on the phone with her. So that's why he

0:54:28.480 --> 0:54:30.000
<v Speaker 1>was later. That's why he was late for my show

0:54:32.040 --> 0:54:42.839
<v Speaker 1>audio Books. Audio Books, I say, I was working for sure.

0:54:43.480 --> 0:54:45.279
<v Speaker 1>We do have a couple more questions coming in and

0:54:45.400 --> 0:54:49.040
<v Speaker 1>people want to ask you, so, um, I want to

0:54:49.120 --> 0:54:51.160
<v Speaker 1>know what you based on? What are you based on? Joe?

0:54:51.800 --> 0:54:55.520
<v Speaker 1>I got two places you big time. I live in

0:54:55.719 --> 0:54:57.840
<v Speaker 1>l A. I got a house and uh get a

0:54:57.920 --> 0:55:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Laurel Candy right here at Studio City. And then I

0:55:00.680 --> 0:55:03.719
<v Speaker 1>got a house in Vegas. Uh in summerland. And you

0:55:03.800 --> 0:55:05.719
<v Speaker 1>know that's where my family's at. So I like to

0:55:05.760 --> 0:55:08.840
<v Speaker 1>take my son. They're like, you know, like holidays in summer.

0:55:08.920 --> 0:55:11.920
<v Speaker 1>So that's where I go. Summer's in Vega. No, thank

0:55:11.960 --> 0:55:15.960
<v Speaker 1>you for that heat. I can't this is all philicone.

0:55:16.000 --> 0:55:18.800
<v Speaker 1>I'd be melted like the Wicked Witch. And that's a

0:55:18.840 --> 0:55:20.840
<v Speaker 1>whole lot. I can't go to cold and I freeze

0:55:20.880 --> 0:55:22.759
<v Speaker 1>like the Tim Man, I can't get too hot. L

0:55:22.800 --> 0:55:24.480
<v Speaker 1>It's I'm just funked up all over ya. I'm just

0:55:24.520 --> 0:55:30.280
<v Speaker 1>telling you, it's just I'm falling the pie Joe. Another

0:55:30.360 --> 0:55:32.960
<v Speaker 1>question we had though, because interestingly enough, this was also

0:55:33.080 --> 0:55:37.240
<v Speaker 1>in your special, but somebody's asking, have you ever before

0:55:37.280 --> 0:55:40.719
<v Speaker 1>you were famous, because you're famous, before everybody knew who

0:55:40.760 --> 0:55:44.239
<v Speaker 1>you were, were people confused about your nationality? Similar to

0:55:44.560 --> 0:55:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Andrew Lopez on on the show, Oh yeah, I mean

0:55:48.120 --> 0:55:50.840
<v Speaker 1>you know my first joke on the Tonight Show. You

0:55:50.960 --> 0:55:54.320
<v Speaker 1>know I did that, uh seventeen years ago. And the

0:55:54.400 --> 0:55:56.960
<v Speaker 1>first joke I said is I'm half white, half Asian.

0:55:58.000 --> 0:56:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Uh oh wait no, no, the first yow guy I

0:56:00.280 --> 0:56:02.040
<v Speaker 1>did there as I go, I hate living in l

0:56:02.120 --> 0:56:04.520
<v Speaker 1>A because when I tell people in Asian, they got

0:56:04.600 --> 0:56:07.680
<v Speaker 1>the worst compliments. And that's a true story. I used

0:56:07.680 --> 0:56:09.279
<v Speaker 1>to tell people I was Filipino and they'd be like,

0:56:09.320 --> 0:56:12.000
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, I love orange chicken. I'm like, that's

0:56:12.040 --> 0:56:14.759
<v Speaker 1>not Filipinos don't eat ship. What are you talking about?

0:56:14.840 --> 0:56:18.520
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, that that identity and and and being mixed,

0:56:18.560 --> 0:56:20.239
<v Speaker 1>and people always trying to find out what I was,

0:56:20.400 --> 0:56:23.440
<v Speaker 1>especially because I was Filipino. It was kind of annoying

0:56:23.480 --> 0:56:25.520
<v Speaker 1>on the come up. You know, it was like I was,

0:56:25.719 --> 0:56:27.680
<v Speaker 1>I was. I felt like I was always an ambassador

0:56:27.800 --> 0:56:31.080
<v Speaker 1>of the Philippines, like telling telling people about our food

0:56:31.160 --> 0:56:33.200
<v Speaker 1>because they didn't know what Filipino food is. They just

0:56:33.280 --> 0:56:35.520
<v Speaker 1>assumed that it was Chinese food or you know what

0:56:35.520 --> 0:56:38.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean. Like it was just always that so yeah,

0:56:38.160 --> 0:56:41.360
<v Speaker 1>that it sucks, you know, coming up. And that's another

0:56:41.400 --> 0:56:43.279
<v Speaker 1>reason why I did that special in the Philippines. I

0:56:43.360 --> 0:56:46.160
<v Speaker 1>wanted to give us that identity and let people know

0:56:46.239 --> 0:56:48.320
<v Speaker 1>a little bit about our culture, you know, and you

0:56:48.400 --> 0:56:50.440
<v Speaker 1>show more than just that. You guys are not just

0:56:50.880 --> 0:56:54.280
<v Speaker 1>uh what did you say? You guys were nurses and dancers.

0:56:58.120 --> 0:57:01.279
<v Speaker 1>That was Rob didn't see me that joke. This morning,

0:57:01.320 --> 0:57:06.239
<v Speaker 1>I tackle the ship out of my god. Nurses and dancers. Joe,

0:57:06.320 --> 0:57:09.359
<v Speaker 1>you got moves. He used to be a boy. You're

0:57:09.360 --> 0:57:11.760
<v Speaker 1>a boy. I'm a b boy. I was a boy

0:57:11.800 --> 0:57:14.359
<v Speaker 1>from back. I wantn't to be boy. I just used

0:57:14.400 --> 0:57:17.040
<v Speaker 1>to be a boy. Wait a minute, what happened? Does

0:57:17.120 --> 0:57:19.280
<v Speaker 1>that that's so that would be be boy? Be a

0:57:19.360 --> 0:57:23.400
<v Speaker 1>boy qualified. We'll take it for now, We'll take it

0:57:24.360 --> 0:57:27.360
<v Speaker 1>for sure. It is. It is such a pleasure to

0:57:27.440 --> 0:57:30.200
<v Speaker 1>have somebody who's you know, because I love the comics,

0:57:30.280 --> 0:57:32.520
<v Speaker 1>because you know, they say you can't use coming in

0:57:32.560 --> 0:57:34.760
<v Speaker 1>this room because you're trained, or you're black, or you're

0:57:34.760 --> 0:57:37.040
<v Speaker 1>white or you I love like what you said that

0:57:37.480 --> 0:57:40.360
<v Speaker 1>laughter is a universal language. When when when you're funny

0:57:40.440 --> 0:57:42.560
<v Speaker 1>in any ring, they don't even have to speak English.

0:57:42.600 --> 0:57:44.400
<v Speaker 1>That good. They feel your energy. Joe, You've got a

0:57:44.560 --> 0:57:47.640
<v Speaker 1>lot of energy on stage. How old are you? Twenty good?

0:57:48.320 --> 0:57:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Wish you'd be bouncing around and jumping around. I'm like,

0:57:53.280 --> 0:57:55.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna walk. I can't do all everyone in

<v Speaker 1>and I tell you you know anything you want me

0:59:07.840 --> 0:59:10.200
<v Speaker 1>for right there, Joe. I love your comedy. I love

0:59:10.280 --> 0:59:13.040
<v Speaker 1>your authenticity, and I love that you're not afraid or

0:59:13.200 --> 0:59:16.040
<v Speaker 1>shane to be worried about who you offended. Because if

0:59:16.080 --> 0:59:18.960
<v Speaker 1>it's fucking funny, it's fucking funny. Everybody's so worried about, Oh,

0:59:19.080 --> 0:59:20.960
<v Speaker 1>you can't say this, You're gonna bother this group, You're

0:59:21.000 --> 0:59:23.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna upset. I don't give a damn. This is funny

0:59:23.840 --> 0:59:26.480
<v Speaker 1>to me. And what they don't understand is as a comic,

0:59:26.560 --> 0:59:28.520
<v Speaker 1>it needs to be funny to you first, because then

0:59:28.760 --> 0:59:32.080
<v Speaker 1>it flows better. Yeah, so you might be offended, but

0:59:32.400 --> 0:59:36.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't about that. It was funny to me. Y'all

0:59:36.200 --> 0:59:42.880
<v Speaker 1>might not leave, I laughed. I'm hoping to give out

0:59:42.880 --> 0:59:45.200
<v Speaker 1>one hour special. We Are Activity is gonna EP and

0:59:45.240 --> 0:59:47.760
<v Speaker 1>hopefully and I already have it written. We just don't

0:59:47.800 --> 0:59:49.480
<v Speaker 1>have any stage. Just like to get out and get

0:59:49.480 --> 0:59:52.320
<v Speaker 1>out and do it. But it's going to be ridiculous. Joe,

0:59:52.400 --> 0:59:54.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna do a wig switch and I'm gonna take

0:59:54.440 --> 0:59:57.240
<v Speaker 1>you all on the rack because my new fan base

0:59:57.400 --> 0:59:59.600
<v Speaker 1>is straight me in like you know, like yourself straight

0:59:59.720 --> 1:00:03.560
<v Speaker 1>and have been loving me and not in a sexual capacity. Yes,

1:00:03.600 --> 1:00:05.560
<v Speaker 1>and I can talk about that. I love my relationships

1:00:05.560 --> 1:00:07.560
<v Speaker 1>that I have with me and with women, you know,

1:00:07.800 --> 1:00:10.280
<v Speaker 1>so I'm honest about it. Ain't no secrets to you.

1:00:11.160 --> 1:00:13.440
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait to see this. I'm gonna be there

1:00:13.480 --> 1:00:15.400
<v Speaker 1>for that one. Oh yeah, Joe Coore, you gather be there.

1:00:15.440 --> 1:00:18.480
<v Speaker 1>I might use you as a target. Let's go. And

1:00:18.600 --> 1:00:20.760
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a good segue too though, because I

1:00:20.840 --> 1:00:23.480
<v Speaker 1>know Flame has talked about not being on stage, So

1:00:23.760 --> 1:00:26.000
<v Speaker 1>what are you doing to stay you know, fresh and

1:00:26.120 --> 1:00:29.880
<v Speaker 1>up on your toes with your material? Of you know this,

1:00:36.040 --> 1:00:38.520
<v Speaker 1>out to Ken Say, one of my writers on the movie.

1:00:39.200 --> 1:00:41.360
<v Speaker 1>But but doing this and not only that, I've been

1:00:41.400 --> 1:00:44.240
<v Speaker 1>going up. You know, I got to do uh you know,

1:00:44.280 --> 1:00:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I did fifteen shows in Arizona at Stand up Live. Uh.

1:00:49.160 --> 1:00:52.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, because I'm right in this hour as we speak. Oh,

1:00:52.800 --> 1:00:55.920
<v Speaker 1>the Tiffany and I we flew out to uh to

1:00:56.240 --> 1:01:00.160
<v Speaker 1>Yellow Springs that did Chappelle's show. Yeah, they just that's

1:01:00.160 --> 1:01:03.480
<v Speaker 1>a positive. God bless Dave and his family, y'all. Prison

1:01:04.120 --> 1:01:06.000
<v Speaker 1>spoke to I just spoke to his wife that they're

1:01:06.000 --> 1:01:09.560
<v Speaker 1>doing great. By the way, yesterday good because Ida was

1:01:09.640 --> 1:01:14.080
<v Speaker 1>with him last weekend and um and um. They were

1:01:14.120 --> 1:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>in Austin, Texas for Angelie's birthday, and I say they

1:01:17.880 --> 1:01:20.160
<v Speaker 1>went to breakfast at the Word and Dave Chappelle brought

1:01:20.200 --> 1:01:22.479
<v Speaker 1>up my name and just went on and on giving

1:01:22.520 --> 1:01:24.760
<v Speaker 1>me praise. Mind you, Joe, I didn't even think that

1:01:24.800 --> 1:01:28.480
<v Speaker 1>he knew who I was. I thought that I'm like, Okay, Dave,

1:01:28.560 --> 1:01:32.880
<v Speaker 1>what's up. I'm ready. I am ready to work and

1:01:32.920 --> 1:01:34.880
<v Speaker 1>I want to be on stage with all y'all graades

1:01:35.000 --> 1:01:37.640
<v Speaker 1>because I want people to see that this ain't nothing

1:01:37.720 --> 1:01:39.880
<v Speaker 1>but comedians. This is just a bunch of comedians, you

1:01:39.960 --> 1:01:43.720
<v Speaker 1>know all that I tell all the alternative comedians. Now,

1:01:44.280 --> 1:01:46.440
<v Speaker 1>I took the meetings for all y'all. I was the slave.

1:01:46.520 --> 1:01:48.240
<v Speaker 1>They beat the ship out of me for twenty years

1:01:48.280 --> 1:01:52.080
<v Speaker 1>because Joe. I had horrible backstories from other comedians when

1:01:52.160 --> 1:01:54.400
<v Speaker 1>I first came out, because I was living my truth.

1:01:55.080 --> 1:01:57.640
<v Speaker 1>But when y'all did finally come around at you, I'm saying,

1:01:57.640 --> 1:02:00.600
<v Speaker 1>when the comics family did let down their shielding, fine,

1:02:00.680 --> 1:02:02.560
<v Speaker 1>just like one of the fountains, what's up playing? What's

1:02:02.640 --> 1:02:05.040
<v Speaker 1>up him? You know so? And I received that. I

1:02:05.080 --> 1:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>don't take that as disrespect. I don't take that as shade.

1:02:08.520 --> 1:02:10.520
<v Speaker 1>I've been I waited on that to be one of

1:02:10.560 --> 1:02:13.160
<v Speaker 1>the colleagues for years. I just wanted to be received

1:02:13.200 --> 1:02:17.200
<v Speaker 1>as another comedian. Yeah, the teas and ship just extra.

1:02:17.920 --> 1:02:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah it caught your extra too, but it's just extra.

1:02:22.480 --> 1:02:24.120
<v Speaker 1>But I think a lot of people don't understand that

1:02:24.160 --> 1:02:27.680
<v Speaker 1>about you know you, And of course I feel me

1:02:27.760 --> 1:02:31.080
<v Speaker 1>as well. You know, like we took we we took

1:02:31.120 --> 1:02:32.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot, and we had to go through a lot,

1:02:32.840 --> 1:02:36.440
<v Speaker 1>and now it seems like the norm now. But like, man,

1:02:36.640 --> 1:02:39.360
<v Speaker 1>if you were here twenty years ago where you had

1:02:39.400 --> 1:02:41.480
<v Speaker 1>to go up on a theme night, you don't just

1:02:41.680 --> 1:02:46.479
<v Speaker 1>get stage time Asian invasion, you know, on Wednesday nights,

1:02:46.600 --> 1:02:48.920
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean to gay nights, you know

1:02:48.920 --> 1:02:51.600
<v Speaker 1>what I mean doing whatever? They always had like theme nights,

1:02:52.400 --> 1:02:55.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, and it's like that was the norm back then,

1:02:55.400 --> 1:02:57.440
<v Speaker 1>but now it's like no, everyone could just be on

1:02:57.480 --> 1:03:02.200
<v Speaker 1>the same stage. Now it's we broke them out. Let

1:03:02.240 --> 1:03:03.760
<v Speaker 1>me get my half, I get my half a Joe

1:03:03.840 --> 1:03:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Boom that I told you it's called The Yang and

1:03:08.040 --> 1:03:14.440
<v Speaker 1>the Twin. Uh it really quickly to just tell us

1:03:14.480 --> 1:03:15.880
<v Speaker 1>what the movie is about, just so people know what

1:03:15.920 --> 1:03:17.520
<v Speaker 1>to expect, because you said it's coming out in May.

1:03:18.120 --> 1:03:20.960
<v Speaker 1>It's called Easter Sunday. It takes place one day. It's

1:03:21.040 --> 1:03:25.160
<v Speaker 1>just one day, Easter Sunday. And it's got just complete

1:03:25.240 --> 1:03:30.920
<v Speaker 1>chaos with my family, every and every single Uh. You know,

1:03:31.480 --> 1:03:33.640
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be the most diversity you've ever seen. It's

1:03:33.640 --> 1:03:36.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna have everybody. It's gonna have black people, white people,

1:03:36.960 --> 1:03:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Latino people, Asian people, everyone's gonna be represented this movie.

1:03:40.840 --> 1:03:43.200
<v Speaker 1>And just and just what it what it looks like

1:03:43.320 --> 1:03:46.160
<v Speaker 1>in my house on Easter Sunday, and that's what we're

1:03:46.160 --> 1:03:48.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna do. So wait a minute. So I didn't even

1:03:48.160 --> 1:03:50.000
<v Speaker 1>know to see, that's something something you teaching us. I

1:03:50.040 --> 1:03:52.600
<v Speaker 1>didn't know that Easter was big in the Filipino community.

1:03:52.680 --> 1:03:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, that's that's really big. Easter Sunday is a

1:03:55.240 --> 1:03:58.400
<v Speaker 1>really big day. So a lot of prayer, a lot

1:03:58.480 --> 1:04:01.280
<v Speaker 1>of food, a lot of entertainment. What's the tradition. What's

1:04:01.320 --> 1:04:05.520
<v Speaker 1>the traditional food that you guys eat? My favorite is

1:04:05.600 --> 1:04:07.600
<v Speaker 1>chicken a doobo, and I think everyone should try it.

1:04:07.880 --> 1:04:10.959
<v Speaker 1>I keep pushing it, I keep campaigning it. If people

1:04:11.000 --> 1:04:13.640
<v Speaker 1>have just try, it will become mainstream. I wanted to

1:04:13.680 --> 1:04:16.760
<v Speaker 1>be household. I went on Good Morning America promoting a

1:04:16.880 --> 1:04:20.400
<v Speaker 1>chicken a doobo. What's in it? It's just it's basic.

1:04:20.520 --> 1:04:24.320
<v Speaker 1>It's vinegar, it's uh soy sauce, a little bit of

1:04:24.360 --> 1:04:27.520
<v Speaker 1>brown sugar and chicken and garlic, and you can throw

1:04:27.600 --> 1:04:29.920

<v Speaker 1>love that you have so much with you? Now? How

1:05:14.520 --> 1:05:17.960
<v Speaker 1>you use all of this because you have so much material,

1:05:18.560 --> 1:05:20.840
<v Speaker 1>so you know it has to be different material for

1:05:20.960 --> 1:05:23.960
<v Speaker 1>each special and you just from life and experience or

1:05:24.040 --> 1:05:25.680
<v Speaker 1>just going out or do you actually sit down and

1:05:25.720 --> 1:05:27.960
<v Speaker 1>actually write because some comedies are lazy, they just will

1:05:28.040 --> 1:05:31.200
<v Speaker 1>not write. Yeah, no, I jotted down. And you know,

1:05:31.600 --> 1:05:34.640
<v Speaker 1>especially now that the material I had just from this

1:05:34.760 --> 1:05:37.800
<v Speaker 1>year alone was amazing. You know, just seeing my son

1:05:39.080 --> 1:05:41.840
<v Speaker 1>go from going to school to take in zoom classes,

1:05:41.960 --> 1:05:46.960
<v Speaker 1>It's just like the most unreal, the most unreal thing

1:05:47.000 --> 1:05:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I've ever witnessed in my life, you know what I mean?

1:05:49.080 --> 1:05:53.040
<v Speaker 1>And the discipline that he's going through and uh, it's

1:05:53.080 --> 1:05:55.480
<v Speaker 1>it's crazy. So I've been talking about that a lot,

1:05:55.760 --> 1:05:59.560
<v Speaker 1>and just this whole experience. So yeah, I I right,

1:05:59.760 --> 1:06:02.920
<v Speaker 1>just awful whatever life gives me. And and hope that

1:06:03.000 --> 1:06:05.120
<v Speaker 1>it's funny, but I'm not. I'm not scared to say it,

1:06:05.240 --> 1:06:07.880
<v Speaker 1>so you know, do it laughs and oh, well, you

1:06:07.960 --> 1:06:10.200
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. I guess I'll drop it or

1:06:10.240 --> 1:06:13.560
<v Speaker 1>all work on it more. But yeah, I'm continually writing.

1:06:13.720 --> 1:06:17.280
<v Speaker 1>I can't stop writing. I have to like on everything.

1:06:17.400 --> 1:06:19.480
<v Speaker 1>And and see I might not write the whole story,

1:06:19.560 --> 1:06:21.760
<v Speaker 1>but I write the bullet points because it always triggers

1:06:21.800 --> 1:06:23.600
<v Speaker 1>me to know, this is what I was going to say. There.

1:06:23.680 --> 1:06:26.520
<v Speaker 1>That always gets me going. Half the time, I can't

1:06:26.520 --> 1:06:28.400

<v Speaker 1>the make your takeaways. I just want to go back

1:08:01.720 --> 1:08:04.920
<v Speaker 1>to what joy what Joe just shared with us. Uh,

1:08:05.120 --> 1:08:07.160
<v Speaker 1>you know we had talked about we joked about his uh,

1:08:07.680 --> 1:08:09.960
<v Speaker 1>his aunt making the name Joe Koy and it was

1:08:10.000 --> 1:08:12.400
<v Speaker 1>actually Joe Coo. And I love that. I just loved

1:08:12.440 --> 1:08:16.240
<v Speaker 1>how you recognized immediately his authenticity with that just sharing

1:08:16.360 --> 1:08:19.160
<v Speaker 1>real stories, which is what makes it so funny, because

1:08:19.200 --> 1:08:21.639
<v Speaker 1>you've talked about why that's so important as a comic yourself,

1:08:22.439 --> 1:08:24.519
<v Speaker 1>because you know that you you have that Even with

1:08:24.680 --> 1:08:26.280
<v Speaker 1>all the stuff that we talked about on Netflix with

1:08:26.320 --> 1:08:28.200
<v Speaker 1>the whole football player, people always say, is that true?

1:08:28.400 --> 1:08:30.479
<v Speaker 1>There is always true to the story you We may

1:08:30.520 --> 1:08:32.439
<v Speaker 1>not we we found the funny. Some of the stories

1:08:32.439 --> 1:08:35.519
<v Speaker 1>are hurtful. Some of the stories are painful, but as

1:08:35.600 --> 1:08:38.360
<v Speaker 1>a comedian, you found the joy to make to turn

1:08:38.439 --> 1:08:41.040
<v Speaker 1>it around. So it's kind of like a therapy. I'm

1:08:41.120 --> 1:08:43.560
<v Speaker 1>retelling this story that hurt me, but I'm telling it

1:08:43.640 --> 1:08:45.479
<v Speaker 1>to a way that I can make y'all laugh with me,

1:08:45.920 --> 1:08:48.439
<v Speaker 1>because y'all can help me heal this pain. I may

1:08:48.520 --> 1:08:50.120
<v Speaker 1>not be all y'all to fix my life. But I

1:08:50.240 --> 1:08:54.639
<v Speaker 1>damn show saw some ship and we turned that down.

1:08:54.920 --> 1:08:57.080
<v Speaker 1>But I only fixed my life. Are you a line

1:08:57.360 --> 1:09:02.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna fix it? She been fixing them ain she did her, Lauren,

1:09:03.720 --> 1:09:05.519
<v Speaker 1>Or you're gonna have to learn to use your right hand,

1:09:05.600 --> 1:09:10.719
<v Speaker 1>just like every monthers because they're just sometimes I'm like Lauren,

1:09:10.880 --> 1:09:13.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, mus I don't want to get hit back.

1:09:14.439 --> 1:09:16.400
<v Speaker 1>She don't forget we're on camera and I'm gonna get

1:09:16.439 --> 1:09:19.360
<v Speaker 1>hit I don't want I know her mom. I would

1:09:19.439 --> 1:09:24.080
<v Speaker 1>never get on fire. Oh no, thank you, baby God.

1:09:24.240 --> 1:09:25.960
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you something else too. I want to go

1:09:26.040 --> 1:09:28.160
<v Speaker 1>back to Joe one more time before we close out,

1:09:28.160 --> 1:09:31.320
<v Speaker 1>because Lauren, the comments were coming too quickly. You couldn't. Yeah,

1:09:31.400 --> 1:09:34.000
<v Speaker 1>it was just trying. It was a lot coming. Uh.

1:09:34.160 --> 1:09:37.240
<v Speaker 1>You know. Joe also just talked about something flame that

1:09:37.240 --> 1:09:41.440
<v Speaker 1>I just think it's just um, something that's worth recognizing

1:09:41.560 --> 1:09:45.040
<v Speaker 1>once again, the power of family and paying it forward. Uh.

1:09:45.320 --> 1:09:49.559
<v Speaker 1>Joe talked about why his most recent special Right Now

1:09:49.720 --> 1:09:53.000
<v Speaker 1>on Netflix um where he made sure he went back.

1:09:53.080 --> 1:09:58.040
<v Speaker 1>He highlighted DJ's, he highlighted dancers, He highlighted his brother,

1:09:58.120 --> 1:10:00.960
<v Speaker 1>who cooks, Who's Who's the show UM, and they did

1:10:01.040 --> 1:10:03.280
<v Speaker 1>all of this, and they talked about different ways to

1:10:03.400 --> 1:10:07.320
<v Speaker 1>just uplift, shine a light on glorify the Filipino community.

1:10:07.479 --> 1:10:09.519
<v Speaker 1>And I just thought it was absolutely fantastic because that

1:10:09.680 --> 1:10:13.120
<v Speaker 1>is what we should all aspire to do that. Remember,

1:10:13.200 --> 1:10:15.680
<v Speaker 1>Common even talked about it, how to who much has

1:10:15.720 --> 1:10:19.960
<v Speaker 1>given much as UH is expected right UH, and how

1:10:20.080 --> 1:10:22.599
<v Speaker 1>he has worked to pay it forward. We have been

1:10:22.680 --> 1:10:25.479
<v Speaker 1>blessed to have people on the show who seemed to

1:10:25.600 --> 1:10:28.200
<v Speaker 1>have that as part of their core principle UM, and

1:10:28.320 --> 1:10:30.840
<v Speaker 1>they have shared that as guests. April Ryan shared that

1:10:30.920 --> 1:10:33.800
<v Speaker 1>as a guest, Titia Campbell shared that as a guest,

1:10:34.200 --> 1:10:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Common shared that as a guest, and now Joe Joe

1:10:37.080 --> 1:10:40.160
<v Speaker 1>shared that as a guest, UH talking about how important

1:10:40.200 --> 1:10:42.720
<v Speaker 1>it is that you recognize where you come from and

1:10:42.800 --> 1:10:45.360
<v Speaker 1>that you try to support others who are also part

1:10:45.400 --> 1:10:48.559
<v Speaker 1>of the journey. Side note, I appreciated the shameless plug

1:10:48.680 --> 1:10:50.760
<v Speaker 1>of all that we have had already on the show.

1:10:51.120 --> 1:10:54.200
<v Speaker 1>The show wasn't doing that well, so good kudos to

1:10:54.360 --> 1:11:00.280
<v Speaker 1>UNI to YouTube because you two care this. What I'm

1:11:00.320 --> 1:11:03.240
<v Speaker 1>talking about the reason this works is that I'm not

1:11:03.400 --> 1:11:06.679
<v Speaker 1>in that room, but I'm so in that room with you. Lauren,

1:11:06.720 --> 1:11:09.080
<v Speaker 1>you keep it going. Flame keeps it going, and our

1:11:09.160 --> 1:11:10.960
<v Speaker 1>guests are comfortable and there having a good time, and

1:11:11.000 --> 1:11:14.040
<v Speaker 1>our our listeners are enjoying it. And I want you

1:11:14.080 --> 1:11:15.800
<v Speaker 1>all to go ahead and close it out because this

1:11:16.000 --> 1:11:18.560
<v Speaker 1>is what laugh and learn again. It's all about you know.

1:11:19.200 --> 1:11:21.120
<v Speaker 1>We talk about a little bit of everything, and we

1:11:21.200 --> 1:11:24.920
<v Speaker 1>are not trying to get anyone at all to change

1:11:25.200 --> 1:11:28.360
<v Speaker 1>their mind. Lauren. Yes, we're not getting you to change

1:11:28.360 --> 1:11:29.960
<v Speaker 1>your mind. As Nick said, We're getting you to use

1:11:30.000 --> 1:11:32.479
<v Speaker 1>your mind. So if you have one, if you have,

1:11:32.840 --> 1:11:34.120
<v Speaker 1>some of you ain't got one. Let me just let

1:11:34.160 --> 1:11:35.519
<v Speaker 1>me tell you the truth. I've been on the plane

1:11:35.560 --> 1:11:37.160
<v Speaker 1>for four hours. Some of y'all ain't got no damn man,

1:11:37.160 --> 1:11:39.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling people have somebody how crazy? But understand me

1:11:40.160 --> 1:11:42.080
<v Speaker 1>that whatever your truth is and whatever you want to do,

1:11:42.160 --> 1:11:44.360
<v Speaker 1>that's what you do. Joe Koy is living his life

1:11:44.360 --> 1:11:46.800
<v Speaker 1>and what you said, Nick was great because I'm not

1:11:47.360 --> 1:11:50.559
<v Speaker 1>anti anything else. I am pro black because I'm black.

1:11:50.680 --> 1:11:53.080
<v Speaker 1>If I was a Latino, then I would be pro Latino.

1:11:53.120 --> 1:11:55.000
<v Speaker 1>If I was white, I would be pro white. That

1:11:55.120 --> 1:11:57.320
<v Speaker 1>does not negate that I don't love all people, but

1:11:57.479 --> 1:11:59.680
<v Speaker 1>I do love my culture because I'm part of my

1:12:00.200 --> 1:12:03.080
<v Speaker 1>and I'm familiar with my culture. You know. It's when

1:12:03.120 --> 1:12:04.840
<v Speaker 1>you grow up in another culture and you're one thing

1:12:04.880 --> 1:12:06.599
<v Speaker 1>and you're trying to pretend to be somebody else. That's

1:12:06.640 --> 1:12:08.800
<v Speaker 1>what we were just talking about with Joe. Don't let

1:12:08.880 --> 1:12:11.040
<v Speaker 1>somebody mold you and you lose so much of you

1:12:11.400 --> 1:12:14.040
<v Speaker 1>that you can't find you again, because then you're doing

1:12:14.080 --> 1:12:15.720
<v Speaker 1>what they want you to do, and you may be

1:12:15.880 --> 1:12:18.000
<v Speaker 1>making the money, you may have the fame, but you

1:12:18.080 --> 1:12:20.439
<v Speaker 1>won't be happy. You won't be happy because you have

1:12:20.640 --> 1:12:23.920
<v Speaker 1>lost yourself. Every time I lose myself, I turned around

1:12:23.960 --> 1:12:25.720
<v Speaker 1>and look at the mirror, because if I started backing up,

1:12:25.720 --> 1:12:29.200
<v Speaker 1>I sound like one of those garbage trucks. Be just

1:12:29.360 --> 1:12:31.880
<v Speaker 1>fat of heale. I love it, big booty. Big booties

1:12:31.880 --> 1:12:36.400
<v Speaker 1>in the house say I'm not gonna lose me. Don't

1:12:36.439 --> 1:12:39.920
<v Speaker 1>lose you. Whatever your decision is, baby, that's your decision.

1:12:39.960 --> 1:12:41.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking ship. But y'all know what I'm talking about.

1:12:41.800 --> 1:12:44.040
<v Speaker 1>Y'all know what I'm about to close out with. Whatever

1:12:44.200 --> 1:12:47.040
<v Speaker 1>choice you make with these eight, nine, twelve, fifteen companies

1:12:47.080 --> 1:12:49.560
<v Speaker 1>giving y'all, we don't need one. You don't need to

1:12:49.960 --> 1:12:51.680
<v Speaker 1>You're not You only need one. First, of all you

1:12:51.760 --> 1:12:54.679
<v Speaker 1>needed to then it had to be at sub zero temperature.

1:12:54.960 --> 1:12:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Nowama can sit outside and the room tempt you. I

1:12:57.200 --> 1:12:59.280
<v Speaker 1>don't even like room tempert your water. I'm telling you

1:12:59.320 --> 1:13:02.040
<v Speaker 1>all right now, it's too many theories. There's too many vaccines.

1:13:02.400 --> 1:13:04.679
<v Speaker 1>If it's one illness, then it should be one vaccine.

1:13:04.840 --> 1:13:06.719
<v Speaker 1>I ain't telling you what to do. I'm just talking.

1:13:06.880 --> 1:13:08.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking my ship. Ain't that right, Lauren? Yes? And

1:13:09.080 --> 1:13:11.639
<v Speaker 1>to reiterate Nick, what do we say. We're not trying

1:13:11.680 --> 1:13:14.080
<v Speaker 1>to get anybody at all to change their mind, just

1:13:14.200 --> 1:13:16.120
<v Speaker 1>getting you to use your mind and your like. So

1:13:16.360 --> 1:13:20.880
<v Speaker 1>I love you. Flame spread yourself and got spread getting

1:13:20.880 --> 1:13:22.880
<v Speaker 1>off that plane. So just so, just so y'all know

1:13:22.960 --> 1:13:25.120
<v Speaker 1>how this works. And I'm supposed to get a coronavirus

1:13:25.200 --> 1:13:27.639
