We inspire each other. 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:53.520 So let me give you all some history of me 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:58.080 and Kim Willy Maybe so my daughter is just my 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:01.320 daughter just made eighteen, so maybe like seventh. Eighteen years ago, 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:06.120 Kim Willie had introduced me to WE television by doing 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:09.680 a reality show. I was all over the place, crazy 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:13.040 and love heartbroken, had just moved to California, and we. 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:15.400 Didn't get it off the ground. But then Kim ended 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:21.000 up having her own kid, little Joshua, who's eleven or 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:22.360 twelve now is Joshua. 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:27.320 Twent thirteen, fourteen fourteen wow. And she had a show 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:31.040 on on Call raising Whitley. So it was a synopsis 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:32.840 of what it's like and what it takes to raise 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:37.760 a kid. Kim adopted Joshua, but it's still her baby. 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.000 Hear me, when I tell you love it ain't got 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:41.880 to come out of you. When it's your kid, you 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:43.760 love it, it don't have to come out of you. 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:46.760 And we thought it was on for four seasons. It 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:49.720 was a great show, and I really believe, I want 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:51.600 to say I had a little bit of an inspiration 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:54.320 in that because Kim became a mother and she talked 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:57.120 about as a comedian and a working actress, but she 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.960 had a barrage, a village of people around her, because 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:01.960 it does take a village to raise a kid. 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:03.840 And it was a great show. Kim. 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.080 I thought it was a fantastic show, and I think 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:07.680 it was very well needed at the time. 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:10.760 Well, thank you so much. I hope that we, you know, 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:14.040 with that show taught people how to build their village 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:18.280 and how to ask for help. It was great, Noshall 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:22.480 still all the villagers are still around, very instrumental in 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:27.840 Joshua's upbringing, his life, his love or his family. He 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:30.040 reaches out to them and he you know, needs certain 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:34.600 things or questions. So it's really been a great journey. 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:38.960 So and then other things they're making a new Fridays, 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:42.000 Uh what's his name? Ice Cubes movie? 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:43.439 You're going to be that goes you played him, You 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.560 played a character, You played an old thought in one 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:46.079 of the movies. 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:47.160 Are you going to be in the new one? 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.120 Toney? That's what it would be, too old thought. That's 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:51.280 just what i'd be right now. 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:53.640 Yeah, you're not old. You look fantastic once you got 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:55.560 some of that Benjamin Buddons. You said you ain't told 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:56.320 nobody about it. 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.720 Okay, I'm going let y'all know my secret. But I 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:01.559 did talk to ice Cube and they are writing it, 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:04.679 so I was like, don't forget sugar. So I'm very excited. 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.520 Hopefully they will get that off the ground. So that's fun. 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:11.040 It was, It was fun. Kim was an old auntie. 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:12.880 She was one of those aunties that like to touch 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:14.760 nephews I show. 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.640 Yeah, honey, Sugar was a mess. 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:19.920 So, Kim, I want to ask you, because you are 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:22.120 from originally are you from You're from Ohio? 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:24.080 Yeah, from Cleveland. 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.240 Okay, I knew it was in Ohio.

I had 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.679 the talk show on BT, which I'm still wondering why 0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:58.640 they didn't honor us at the BT Awards. 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:00.760 Don't worry, I was talking. Don't worry. 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.120 I'm the first trans person ever on b T Have 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.520 you ever seen me invited back? And they invited all 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:07.959 these other trans people back? Everybody would have dick and titties. 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:12.040 Hen go on there, Laverne Cox, Leslie Jones, all of them. 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.840 He said, Leveslie Jones, Yeah, say Leveslie. 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:18.559 Jones said, Leslie Jones.

What else? Does? 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:27.559 Can I ask you? 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:33.800 Is Adam Sandler? You know because I'm from Boston. He's 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.559 right over the border in the Hampshire. He's probably thirty 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:38.800 minutes for me. Is he as wonderful to work with 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:39.800 as he seems? 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:47.479 Adam Sandler is absolutely a dream. He's absolutely wonderful. He's funny, 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:50.959 he's fun. He's real laid back, and he loves working 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:53.560 with comedians and he always calls you back. This is 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:56.840 my second Adam Simon movie. Been offered others, but they 0:11:56.920 --> 0:12:00.760 keep me in the camp. I love it that family, 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:05.679 all the other comedians speaking across the water. Sherry and 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:07.520 I are going to be in the North to Shore 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:13.080 Festival on June twentieth in Newark at the Njpack, and 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.160 people can get their tickets. Of course, the ticket master. 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:17.120 I just want to make sure I sh shot that out. 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.800 It's two shows. One is sold out, but we have 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.200 to still have tickets for the nine to forty five 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:25.319 show at the NJ Pack, So I wanted to make 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:26.120 sure I mentioned that. 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:28.360 Of course, that's good because too of your mama's are 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:30.160 on the road a lot. I see y'all been selling 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:34.760 out that it's fantastic. Kim. I want to ask you 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:37.560 about what else does Kim Willy wanted her career. Because 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:40.160 you've done movies, You've done acting, You've done a bunch 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:43.600 of hosting. What do you want because you know your 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.920 best girlfriend, Sherry Shepherd has the talk show, But what would. 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:49.200 You like to be doing? Ultimately, Kim, I can see 0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:52.160 you host of a game show and being hysterically funny. 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:55.360 But what do you want I do? I would love 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:59.160 to host a game show. I've always wanted a talk show, 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:02.360 you know, so I started that way. I like to 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:11.959 go back to it. But probably directing, producing, that's up acting, 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:15.120 But those would be the things. Probably drama do some drama, 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.320 as you could see Sherry did Straw Tyler Parents. 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:27.760 Yeah, I've been seeing all the positive reviews, and I 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:28.760 hear very few. 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.360 I hear the negative reviews, mostly from black men, about 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:34.520 how tallent periods only telling struggles of black women and 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:36.920 who single mothers. I'm like, well, they wouldn't be single 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:38.800 mothers if more fathers were present. 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:41.439 Let me just say that because I am. 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:46.559 I've been a single parent my children's entire life, struggling. 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:50.640 You came together, fighting, borrowing money, hustling whatever. 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:54.680 Nobody and then not one mama came this way to 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:56.560 help you. 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:58.920 You to one of the funny mamas, where both of 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:00.000 the funny mamas have helped me. 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:02.959 Well, your baby mama's that's what I mean. 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:06.400 Yeah, Well listen, and I had a choice, people always 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:08.800 say with I could have said here, take the kids 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:11.839 or put the kids into the state and chase my dream. 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:13.760 But I didn't want to be one of those parents 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:15.840 that didn't know their children. I wanted my children to 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:17.959 know me. I wanted to know their favorite food and 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:21.240 their favorite color. Sometimes do I regret it when I 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.840 look at my bank account? Sometimes I do. But the 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.360 joy of being a parent and now I'm getting my 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:27.640 last baby through high school. 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:28.920 Thank you Lord, I did that. 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:31.560 You did do that. Good job. 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:34.560 So Ken, we live in California and you know what 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:37.360 we're under right now under this administration. Because our podcast 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:41.240 is definitely about politics. I know you're not close to 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:43.720 downtown because you're further away from another Americas. I'm in 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:46.920 Long Beach. But are you seeing all of this unfold? 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:50.600 And I'm sure you have Latin friends, Mexican friends and workers, 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:53.000 because you know, how is that affecting you? 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:54.400 Well? 0:14:55.400 --> 0:15:00.000 Just last night we were sitting in caroline raised backyard 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:04.080 and she lives over in Hancock Park. The amount of 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:07.440 helicopters that flew over our head, we were like, what's 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:10.560 going It was so loud and so long for you know, 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:12.000 it went on probably about an hour an hour and 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:14.240 a half, but we had to say what what we 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:17.360 had to join the news. There were protesters probably on 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:21.600 Western or by the mayor's house. But so that's, you know, 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:27.440 been a constant with that. Caroline said her movers were 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:31.280 moving her some some furniture she bought, and while they 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:35.400 were moving, the neighbor he he is on the phone 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:38.960 screaming to his neighbors had just gotten taken by ice. 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:45.080 So you didn't want to go back home. Just it's 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.960 getting closer and closer to us. And I do have 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:52.240 Latino friends and you know people that I know, and 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:59.520 you get concerned. But the bigger concern is how this 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:02.600 minish is trying to turn this into a civil war 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:08.760 and cause chaos. Chaos will make us will be distracted 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:13.400 from what's really going on and the truth and the takeover. 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:16.320 And if this is just the beginning, we have three 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:18.800 more years, three and a half more years of this, 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:21.800 and so I can't imagine what it's going to look 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:26.080 like by Christmas or next year. The fear that he 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:31.200 is putting in the world, and how the administration is 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:33.720 even affecting when I say they've already one friend of 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.720 mine called me it was like they just took away 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:39.880 my insurance. I'm like, what, so I don't know if 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:46.880 he's trying to devastate the lower class, the middle class, whatever, 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:49.720 and just try to keep the billionaires where they are 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:53.000 and make everyone else suffer. I don't know what the 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:56.560 endgame is. To answer your question, it is. 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:00.640 I think he runs off of motion because he'll say 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:03.040 something and then a day or two later he'll retract 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:05.840 it or say I may. He won't never admit to 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:08.760 the mistake. He'll just point out the obvious when people 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:11.399 start talking about it. But for me, Kim, I feel 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:13.560 it because I have a lot of that Mexican friends 0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:15.320 here too, because of working here. 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:17.359 And I went to home. I'm in the process of moving, 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:19.399 so I went to home depot, not the home to 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:22.400 tell you haul yesterday to purchase some boxes. Any other 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:24.280 time when you would go to you haul, the. 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:26.679 Mexicans would surround your truck, like when you turn on 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:29.720 the kitchen at night and the roaches just start scattering. 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:33.240 Nobody came to the car, No one was there. 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:36.160 Everybody is So I asked the lady that you are, said, 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:37.680 where are all the guys that be out here during 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:40.159 the day, laborers and everything? She said, nobody is showing up. 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:43.440 Everybody is petrified, And you're right. The fear is how 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:46.920 he's winning. The fear is so powerful and people are 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:50.160 so intimidated and afraid, and the powers that be will 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:51.679 not stand up against this force. 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:54.240 We are. It's a losing game. 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:56.040 And I just think that if we don't stand together 0:17:56.080 --> 0:18:00.000 with our brown brothers and sisters, after he removes the browns, 0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:01.520 he's coming for the blacks. 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:04.920 Yeah, and we can't. We cannot turn away. Even though 0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:07.360 we say, well, they voted for them, so they can 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:10.639 have them, we still got to stand by them because 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:12.320 he will turn on us next. 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:18.520 He's the king of chaos. That's what he does. It's chaotic, chaotic, chaotic, 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:22.640 and distractions. That's what flames. Flames. Big word is distractions 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:25.800 because we're paying attention to what's happening. Tell La, but 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:29.600 we're not talking about the romance and the chaos between 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:33.080 Musket and Trump's breakup. We're not talking about the economy, 0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:35.439 We're not talking about the tariffs or any of the 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:38.440 things that are substantive exactly. 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:40.000 Yeah, that's the distraction. 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:45.000 Yeah, and his strategy, his strategy is throw twenty five 0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:46.200 things at them at one time. 0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:48.359 They're going to pay attention to two or three. But 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:50.760 those other twenty three are the ones that we really 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:54.479 want to work anyway, and people are so busy fighting 0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:57.520 with each other, the infighting between the Democratic part I 0:18:57.560 --> 0:18:59.480 do not claim to be a democratic anymore. 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:00.639 I had to step away. 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:05.120 I just I'm independent because the Democrats look so weak 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:07.520 and get us in this position. They were so worried 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:09.760 about a woman. Let me say this again, and now 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:12.280 you know, I am a champion of women. They were 0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:14.800 so worried about a woman being in a position of power, 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:17.320 all her emotion. But look at the emotion that's coming 0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:19.720 from the top right now, Kim. It is barbaric. 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:24.840 Yeah, no, it's really It is frightening because we don't 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:25.679 know what's next. 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:28.760 No, and then for you to bring in the National 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:31.880 Guard and the military from seventy seven Palms. 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:35.560 Those guys, all they do all day is trained and 0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:39.200 taint they so they need somewhere to let off all 0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:41.800 of that energy where they've been training and they've been 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:44.400 preparing for this, But they were preparing for this for 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:47.680 our foreign adver saries, not for the American cities. 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:51.680 Sit here, and I'm right, that's the problem, not right 0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:56.720 here on our soil. It's bad it. 0:19:56.800 --> 0:20:00.600 Is what I feel like not being a California I'm 0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:04.320 on I'm on the opposite coast. I feel like Karen 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:08.160 bass And and Newsome have a little bit of culpability here. 0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:12.919 They needed to handle the rioters better. I don't know 0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:15.600 if that's them calling in the National Guard so they 0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:18.920
