First of all, First of all, when Angie my Teens
came out, first of all, we were like, oh my god,
who is this girl that sounded like a black girl,
but don't look like a black girl. That's the first
time I ever found where were you think? I think
in La it was I think I might have came
to New York. It's around the nineties. It was on
the air. So I came to New York. And first

(01:45):
of all, I had just came to New York. I
had never been to New York and I didn't know
New York was so fucking fly. It was just it
was like I'm using all the especially the.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Fresh it was fresh. It was just so dope.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Right, so that she was on the radio, right yes,
and oh my god, this miss would talk and I
would be like, who is And the first time I
saw a picture of her, I was like, oh my gosh,
she's fucking beautiful. Oh this is what Puerto.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
Ricans looked like because if you're not from New York,
not everybody has a sensible Nobody knows that Puerto Ricans.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Especially at that time Puerto Ricans.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yo.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Do you know how long it.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Took me though to figure out that Puerto rican was
part of the United States.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
And welcome seeing that something was still don't know.

Speaker 5 (02:33):
No.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
But that's the thing though, like in other places, like
the country and all that they're isolated, they're really truly isolated.
Like I lived in myfild. I came up in Memphis,
so I didn't even know what Spanish people were. The
first time I came to New York, I was like,
good god, this is the melting pot.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
There's everybody.

Speaker 6 (02:52):
So meeting Puerto Ricans, I was like, oh my god.
And they're so beautiful, so beautiful. So I heard this
bitch on the radio and I was like, she is life.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Like. We always listen to you.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
I always felt we could be friends you and I
don't know why.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Well, I used to listen to you when we would
get ready to go to gigs, like you mix all
that shit. When were you to play PlayStation write jokes
and then get ready and you're.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
In your twenties.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Right. Oh no, actually in my thirties when I came
to New York. I came to New York when I
was thirty two for the first time.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Oh wow. I had never been on a plane.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Really. I mean, I've been on plane from college, but
not to New York. And I remember crying when we
flew over New York to Land because it looked so scary.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
I was like, this shit looked like straight GoF What
the fuck did I just get myself into?

Speaker 4 (03:47):
So and as a kid who grew up in New York,
it didn't really go anywhere else to me. That's all
I knew was New York. But I got to really
do a proper introduction.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Come on.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
She is the kind of person who reminds you that
greatness takes time. Okay, it's not luck, it's not like
it is work. Ten years of grinding in clubs, writing, bombing, rebuilding,
doing it again, getting back up again and again and again,
all before Saturday Night Live, right before the viral Olympic

(04:16):
commentary that she did, before the New York Times best
selling memoir that she wrote. She was a comic trying
to earn her voice the old fashioned way, hard work.
She's a woman who turned pain into punchlines. We all
need to find our way out of pain. That Lord
knowes that. She's never been afraid to say exactly what
she thinks about men, fame, life, the state of the world.

(04:40):
She's proof that truth always finds an audience. She's an actress, writer,
a comedic force. She is Leslie Jones.

Speaker 7 (04:50):
Nice God another card.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
We can add cards.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Man.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
I used to I used to hear intros like that
for other comics and go, damn, you go up after
that intro and say a joke and say a joke
like how did you be good after that? But you know,
it's like, that's why I always tell comics that are starting,
like what do you want out of this? If you're
just using this as the gateway to become famous or
do something else, then don't do that because if you

(05:18):
really want to do it, it's gonna take time. It's
slow and steady. It's like wine, Like you can't you
want to drink the wine you want to get because
after three years it's probably good.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
It's gonna be bomb in ten years. You know what
I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
You really gotta think marinate. Yeah, it's slow, and steady.
It's what I've learned, slow and steady.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
We hear that, but the actual real life of that,
like I'm sure that can't.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Always not be pretty or it's fun or it's the
you know how they say the long and narrow road.
It's really a choice choice between that and the easy way.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
Yeah, what is the explain that life? The low life,
the low part of the hard part.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
It's I remember telling asking Jay Anthony Brown. I was like,
first of all, when am I gonna get rich? And
when am I gonna actually be funny? And he was like, Oh,
you ain't gonna ever get rich unless you really really
working working hard, Like you gotta work at it. He
was like, and you ain't gonna be funny for ten years.
And I was like what He was like, Yeah, you
gotta get And it's so true.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
You gotta get.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Like you got to think of when you start comedy
and like, you're toddler. So at one year, you're you're
a toddler. You're you're toddler, You're a baby. You're doing
shit jokes, you're doing sex jokes. You're doing jokes right,
race probably right second year, you learn how to hold
the mic, correctly, you learn how to maybe write one
joke that you you can do. Your third year, you

(06:43):
just you know, it's just you grow. By your tenth year,
you've gotten all that shit out your system. You done
went to college, you didn't went to high school. Now
you gotta shit out that system where you know yourself
enough to.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
Have a point of view.

Speaker 4 (06:55):

Speaker 3 (07:45):
But how do you know going into it if it's
that hard and it takes that loan.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
I can't explain it to you this. I can only
explain what happened to me.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
I know a lot of people get into it because
they think that it looks easy. They go, oh, I
can do that, but you have to really think on
a level of professionalism. You know, you probably make your
mom and your dad laugh, or your cousins or your
friends laugh, or the people at your job laugh. But
can you make their mama laugh? Can you make their
mama's friends friends laugh? Can you make their mama's friends,

(08:15):
hairdresseror Maleman laugh? Because I can't. And that's the difference
between living room comics and professional comics. So for me,
I can't. I don't know if it was a blessing
or if it was God, I don't know. But I
touched the mic.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
Where does that come from?

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Like? How were you made?

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Well, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
When I touched the mic. When I touched the mic
the first time.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
And I can't even what age is this.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
This is the first time I did comedy ever in college.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
I was in college my friends say like nineteen to
twenty nineteen actually, and my my friends signed me up
for a contest. We was walking through the fucking student
union and how they have a sun Yeah, coming from
Harty's which has the best apple pie's batch.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
Anyway, that's still.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
I'm fucking up this apple pie. And she was like,
saw the sign. She was like, girl, you should sign
up for this comedy contest. And I was like, what
are you talking about. She was like, you are funny
as fuck. Like you funny and I was like, I'm
not that type of funny, like that's Whoopy gold word,
that's Richard pryor that's Eddie Murphrey. I'm not that type
of funny. I was like, that's cute. I was like,
maybe we'll go and see who they got there, and

(09:20):
she was like okay. Then I met up with her
later on the day and she was like, you know,
don't be mad at me, but I signed you up
for the contest. And I said, bitch, why would you
do that? Now I was mad, but now I wasn't
really mad. You're excited. I was kind of curious just
to see because I can find out now if I'm
gonna be if I can get this.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
Because did you have anything in your mind that you
wanted to say?

Speaker 1 (09:41):
I was very silly. I loved having fun.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
But in your mind like I'll be a comedian or
I always thought I was going to be an actress
that funny, like a funny actress and.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Maybe I would act like whoopee one day or something like,
but not stand up, not stand up at all. I
was like, no, there's no way, and I'm telling you
right now. I touched the mic and I can. It's
almost like I saw a line a light come from.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
And just just.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Just went forward. And I knew from that day. I
don't know when it was I was gonna start or not,
but I knew I was gonna be a comedian.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
It was the path.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
It was so.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
I cannot put it. It was something that was so
natural to do. And it was more scary for me
not to go up than to go up. So I
was scared to go up, but I was more scared.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
Not to go up, so scared to me, I was sitting.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
I called Michael Williams at the Comedy Act Theater.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
When I decided to finally go, I got into an
argument with my roommate and she was talking shit. She
was like, yeah, bitch, you I was talking about you
want to be a motherfucking comedian. But your ass aint
went up yet. And I was like, all right, bitch,
all right, And I went up to my room and
I called the fucking Comedy Act Theater and I was like, Yo,
what do you gotta do to be a comic? And
he was like, yo, so do you think you funny?
And I was like, man, I think I'm funny. I

(11:04):
think I'm funny. I just would like to you know, wait,
this is you at nineteen.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
This nineteen twenty, I probably might have been No, No,
it was.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
It was.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
It was.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
It was a little because I had tried when I
came from college and tried to do it. That's when I,
you know, opened up for Jamie Fox and found out
I wasn't really that funny or whatever like that.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
And I was like, he, you know, gave me great advice.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
You know, I got my homegirl to hook up with
his homeboy so we could go to Fat Burger's.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
And you know, I still, yeah, so Jamie Fox, did
I think I'm wonder?

Speaker 2 (11:37):
I know I'm wonder, Like I always tell him that,
I'd be like was I wonder and he was like, no,
it was a couple of girl.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
I was like, fuck you, I know I was right, so.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
Because you know, it was just a funny night because
I tried to hit on him at first, and then
I was like, oh no he was not with that,
but fuck that.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
I need to know shit.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
So he was like, you don't have enough experience to
write jokes yet. Go out and get your heartbroken. Go
and quit jobs, Go get fired, go go have experiences
for something. So that was in eighty seven. So I
took time off and then I started back at ninety three.
That's when I got into it with her. But well,
I called Michael Williams and he was like, well, come

(12:15):
down tomorrow. We got an open mic at seven point
thirty and I'll put you up. And I was in
that parking lot at five o'clock just sitting there, just waiting.
I remember I was smoking some chronic too. I was
smoking chronic and I was like, bitch, why are.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
You smoking weed. You ain't gonna be able to go up.
Put the weed out.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
And I was sitting there was like yeah, and a
fucking seventy nine Monte Carlo. That motherfucker was clean because
I bought it from I bought it from an old
woman and she she never drove it, but she kept
it up. And that motherfucker was clean. I was sitting
in that parking lot like, man, what the fuck are
you doing? Like what are you doing? And then this
part of me was like, fuck this shit. You hear

(12:54):
you're gonna do it if you bad? Fuck it went
up and I was really funny. You were funny.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
Oh my god, you had things planned on you free
style I had.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
I had a couple of jokes I wanted to try
out cause I again started writing from experiences. So the
joke I had was how much I love a buffet
and how I used to do the electric slide down
the buffet, and how.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
The Chinese people did be like all you can eat,
not meant for.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
You except you you too much, you big bitch yo.
So it was a joke like that and and it,
I mean, I got laughter. So when I came off stage,
I was like, okay, okay, and the lady Sharon, I
will never forget this because Sharon used to run the

(13:42):
comedy act and she did not fuck with nobody. You
could not be not funny and go to Sharon's spot.
So Sharon was like, you got potential. She was like,
come back, do some different jokes and you know, write
some more material and come back.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
And I That's exactly what I did.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
I was.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
I was after that.

Speaker 3 (14:04):
What was going on in your life though? Like what
like what was happening in your life?

Speaker 2 (14:08):
Oh God, that's so funny you asked me that, Angie,
because I was I think. I was living in Glendale
at the time with my homegirl. Uh, you know, we
had a dope as apartment. How girl, we was running scams.
I was working at of course, I was working at
a UPS. I worked at UPS as a customer service agent.

(14:30):
And we was just making it like just out here
we were we she had you were chasing a dream.
We that's I can't explain it any other way than that.
And I worked for I was working for scientologists all
the time, Oh yeah, because I had they own everything
in Glendale. So I was working for this car survey place.

(14:52):
I would do car surveys and then I switched over
to UPS, you know. So yeah, we was making it happen.
And and back then the rent wasn't them was like
eight hundred and we split it. I had a we
had two bedroom, three bathroom condo, and motherfucking gleandao, you
was doing it.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
We were thinking we was use it.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
No, at that time you were doing it's to do it?
Are you kidding me? It's just that when I think
of like, I feel like.

Speaker 4 (15:17):
People chase things to fix something or to like I
don't know, especially comics, it's always to think comedy. I
always say, people who have the most trauma tragedies like comedy.
But also people who are I don't know, people who
chase something so hard and have that drive. There's usually
something they're either running from or running two or I

(15:39):
just wonder what that thing was for you?

Speaker 2 (15:41):
That crazy, because that is the nemesis, isn't it. It's
like everybody always think that you have to be damaged
or traumatized to be a comic.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
To be funny. Not true, It's not true.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
No, I know a lot of undamaged, normal people.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
You know, healthy funny people.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
Yes, Yo, my writer Lenny. Every time I up to
Lenny and I'd be like Lenny was Lenny was a nerd,
nerd Clint, great sister, great pant and funny as.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
Fun happy home.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
You're not happy as fuck like so, so it's just
it's just about how you use your energy. You you
know the guys that I know that use that tragedy
ship that that's doesn't have ship to do comedy. You
just using comedy like you use drugs. It's advice because

(16:30):
if you got to be high and do all that
to come up, and I learned that from Richard pryor
what like, if you got to be high and drunk
and shit to do comedy, that's not.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
What you're doing. You're you're this is a vice for you,
and you may be good at it.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
That's great.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
Yeah, that's great, but I just go to therapy. Jes.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
So you were a healthy kid at that time.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
You were healthy.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
He say I was healthy either. I wouldn't say that.
I didn't have ship that was bothering me. But I
wasn't using comedy to run away it. Comedy was my
fucking job. That's how I made money.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
So you're a money chase.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
Yeah, you know I was on that. I was on that.
I was on that.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
I'm comedy. I love doing comedy. I want to be
fucking famous like Eddie Murphy. I want to be famous
like well we go. I want to be famous and
rich and rich. And now I didn't know at that time.
You know, when you're young, you know I didn't know
what rich was. And trust and believe if you earned
the right type of money, you gonna I've been rich

(17:32):
five times broke four?

Speaker 1 (17:35):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (17:41):
And do you gotta know that's how you learned all
those things that happened to everybody. Now I talk to
the youngins and I tell them all the time, stop
trying to not mess up. Perfection is only for Jesus,
that's it, and it's real tough. You'll never be perfect.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Ever.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
Where is that? Where is that? Like fearless?

Speaker 4 (18:06):
Because there is a fearlessness that has to have to
live inside of you that makes you want to jump
on the stages, that makes you want to call the
comedy club to ask them questions. Where does that is?

Speaker 2 (18:15):
But what fearless is not that I'm not scared. Fearless
is still taking a step even if you petrified. That's
what courage is. You know, people say I'm fearless, and
I'm like, no, I'm free.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
Where How how do you do that? You work?

Speaker 1 (18:31):
You work for it, and listen, I'm looking straight at you.
This is for you.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
Okay, free your fucking self. You are the one that
is trapping yourself right now?

Speaker 1 (18:42):
For me?

Speaker 3 (18:42):
Is that what I'm giving you?

Speaker 2 (18:44):
No, don't say that's My aunt used to say this
all the time from you know.

Speaker 4 (18:50):
That's just what I told you before, because I know
I'm I'm also in the middle of a little bit
of a life.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
I'm psychic.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
Yeah, I'm a kind of a I'm kind of whisper.
My aunt used to say this all the time to me.
Look at all your problems are they self induced?

Speaker 1 (19:07):
Are self induced?

Speaker 2 (19:09):
Just decisions that you make that when your head was
saying don't do that, but you're like, it's gonna be fine.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
I can.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
Yeah, oh no, no, don't worry about this it it's
gonna be fine.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
Oh no, no, no, I see what y'all see, But
don't worry.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
I can.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
I'm stronger than that.

Speaker 8 (19:28):
You're not freaking out to continue to do something over
and over again and think you're gonna get a different result.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Is insanity? Is this a word that stopped?

Speaker 3 (19:44):
What the hell? What just happened though? Is this a word?

Speaker 4 (19:47):
Like?

Speaker 3 (19:47):
Where did this come from?

Speaker 1 (19:49):
I see what I see and I call what I
call bitch. Let yourself free. Nobody's holding you back. You are.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
I'm in the process of in the process of letting myself.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
You through that door, through all that door and all
that that fill the flowers that you want to run through.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
Okay, step through it.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
Yeah, I'm there.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
You're there, and you're very self sufficient.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
I'm in a little bit of a storm.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
They're not. You're not desperate. No, you're not. And to
be in the storm is to be Yeah, find that peace.

Speaker 9 (20:18):
Yeah, because you go to these you're not gonna even
if you get peaceful, you're not gonna have peace.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
Like if there's no storm, you're still gonna have to
find peace. Find it because you matter more than anything
that's outside. You know how they tell you to put
your mask on before you help someone else.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
Yeah, this is that situation.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
I don't know who sent her.

Speaker 4 (20:45):
I don't know who sent you today for yourself to
fix my energy too, because I don't want to be
giving off that energy and it's.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
Not you're not giving off energy. I'm a woman. Yeah, Yeah,
I'm a woman. Okay, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (20:58):
Yeah, Like I wish I was for along anywhere I
could actually share with you the whole situation right now.
But I'm definitely in one of those life pivotal decisions
and transitions that is not an easy one, and still
trying to show up and do what I do and
perform the way I perform, which I was thinking about
you on the way in here, like, because you know,

(21:19):
sometimes I want to cancel shit, and I wasn't gonna
cancel you because I was very excited about you coming.
But then I think about what you do for a living,
and think about some of the shit you've been through
in your life, and think about the fact that I'm
sure some things pull on you sometimes.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
I had to perform in Hamsterdam. I'm on the day
of my dad's funeral. Yeah, I don't pay for his funeral.
You know what I'm saying, How did you do that?
How could I not do that? I had to pay
for the funeral. Yeah, that's one of the hardest things
I've ever done.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
Yeah, but I'm gonna.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
Tell you a story. When I left SNL, I was like,
I'm gonna be so fucking happy, I'm gonna be healthy,
I'm gonna eat good, I'm gonna live life. And God
was like, Wow, that's crazy that you think you're gonna
do that when you're completely sick. Oh, you need to
get this surgery that I needed to get. What was
that and hemorrhoids? So I had to get I had

(22:12):
a hemorrhoids since I was twelve. They said, that's pain.
No girl, I was living with that shit for since
I was twelve. So I'm fifty two now and I
needed the subject. It was something that I had dealt
with so much in my life. The doctor was like,
I can't believe that you have been through subduing this
pain this long and doing what you're doing. Try.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
Girl.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
It was horrible, and God was like, you won't ever
be happy until you take care of it.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
You're not gonna ever be healthy until you take care
of it.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
So before you start skipping and talking about you fucking
going to just become automatically happy, there are steps to that.
So whatever you're going through, whatever it is that you
laid down one day and said, hey, I need this,
God is going okay, Well, if you want this, you're
gonna have to go through. I'm sorry for this contract.

(23:02):
Like Darren, step one is just step one. Oh, looking
being what they call having acceptance. No one said that
she's gonna be happy. That's just gonna be painful because
acceptance means that you see it for what it is.
But once you do, it's like seeing a dirty plate.
Once you see the dirt and accept the dirt, you

(23:23):
wash it. Now you gotta clean plate. Yeah, but you're
gonna have to wash it. The shit's gonna have to
get on your hands.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
Ah.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
I hate this information you're sharing. Just on the other
side of it. Oh now now you got that palette.
Now you can be what the fuck you want. You
don't have to pretend no more. You don't pay my
motherfucking rent. You don't make me happy. I'm the route
to my happiness. That's what That's what you're fighting.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
Come give your word today, Leslie, Come give me all
that one Now you are savvy trying to tab you
are sent today, you are sent.

Speaker 4 (24:02):
I'm grateful for whoever sent you.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
I mean especially over No nuggle, I'm not listen. Let
me tell you because I know me and be like
you hate man. No, I don't hate men. I really
love men.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
I do.

Speaker 4 (24:19):
You.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
Motherfuckers are built beautifully.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
Your dick is beautiful sometimes when you take care of it.
You know when you take care of it, But you
know I'm not gonna put up with your ship no more.
You know I love ice cream, I can't eat it.
It makes my stomach hurt. There's a lot of dairy
So I think you're beautiful, but you full of shit

(24:42):
and you're not gonna ruin my peace, or my time,
or my house or my anything anymore. And it's not
about me saying I don't need you, because I do.
I need you, but what I need is what you need,
peace and love. Yeah, and let's take a journey together,

(25:02):
but you can't do that if you three steps behind me.
And I'm talking about educationally, emotionally, financially, I'm not ashamed
to be rich anymore, which men used to make me
feel bad about that. Oh oh, I can't get you this,
but I can't well, then block, because it's not about
what you can't give for me, is the fact that
you need to tell me that, because that means that

(25:25):
you haven't delved into what I really love. You're a photographer.
Why wouldn't you go take a picture for me and
frame it and say baby, happy birthday, Oh.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
My god, and get it. I'd be like, oh my god,
like do you get what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 (25:42):
Like men don't and listen and then and this is
because and men, this is because you come at a
different space. You keep throwing that financial shit on us.
You know there are chicks out there that's about that,
and you know need the money or whatever. But look
at women, really, we survive even because we don't. We

(26:02):
can't trust you to do it. So when you say
independent women, yeah, I have to be or I'll starve.
I'll be hungry as fuck. So like, yeah, I'm independent,
but you know, just it's just y'all got to get
y'all shit together, Like we got our shit together when
you told us Moe's crazy.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
We invented Oprah, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
But you motherfuckers just stayed on the couch and played
the PlayStation just every level that came.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
Has anybody ever surprised you men?

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Yes? No, well, I mean my friends you've seen it,
so I know it exists. Yes, But I'm gonna tell
you this, Angie, I may have not been attracting it
right because I hadn't got to the other side of myself. Yes,
so that may have been it might it might have

(26:53):
been all I can because of my friend. My assistant
says it to me all the time. She's like, oh,
you know, I think you're about to find a man
in New York. And I was like, girl living New
York for so long and I never find She was like, yeah,
you use a different person then, and I was I
was unhealthy mentally, physically.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
And you have to make yourself the best package. Like
and that' said.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
I tell men too, like why come offering function and
then ask me what I bring to the table? And
what as a man can you not provide for yourself
that I'm supposed to provide for you? Why you asking
me what I bring to the table. I ain't asked
you what you brought to the table. Do you get

(27:35):
what I'm saying? I do cause my shit together? Like
you want to fuck with me because my credit?

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Good son?

Speaker 3 (27:41):
Wait, if you're so different, now, what is that difference?
How are you approaching? The difference is that I'm a
little bit more.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
When I get into this age, I'm a little bit
more settled with life and not so easy to go.
Like I used to get really excited if a guy
would even talk to me or give me the numing.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
I'd be like, oh this my new boyfriend. You know,
just like one to one hundred. Yeah, you know you got.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
And I've learned to now just be like, accept people
for who they are. When someone tell you who they are,
believe them. You know what I'm saying. And my peace
is so wonderful. I protect that anyway. So when you
protect your peace kind of like those guys stay away
from that because you put up such a good guard
about yourself, you know. And it can work to a

(28:28):
fault too, because some of us be like be like, oh,
I don't know if I could talk to her. Well,
if you don't know you could talk to me, then
you're right, you can't talk to me. Because that's why
I won't want the guy that sees that and goes.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Nah, I still want to try to talk to her.
I don't give a fuck.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
I like, I'm willing to risk it all, Like I'm
willing to risk rejection to fucking talk to this VISs
because she hot, she fucking got it going on, Like
why would you not? And this is another thing, insecure
ass man, why would you not want a badass bitch?
Do you remember back in the day, I know you
remember this saying there was maybe a small period of
time when men used to brag about they bitches having shit.

(29:06):
Oh man, my girl got a motherfucking insurance. She got
a four O one. Yeah, my baby got accurate. She
fucking be going to work every day, she got fucking
groceries and shit. Now that that shit is gone me
and is completely fucking and secured.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Why what is that?

Speaker 2 (29:24):
I think it's I think it's just again education, like
educating themselves and friends, because when you love yourself, you
don't hurt people.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
Oh yeah, you really?

Speaker 1 (29:36):
I mean you know what I'm saying. Hurt people, hurt people.

Speaker 4 (29:38):
We had recently because this conversations in real life, right,
so we talked about real life. There's been a couple
of guests. You say, you have friends that you've seen
better versions of it. We had Adrian and Israel on
you know her Adrian whole and she's from the reel.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
She was on the reel. She married. Her husband is
a gospel singer.

Speaker 4 (29:56):
I think I know who you some you know Adrian,
she was on the real she was the girls back
in the day.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
Oh, I know who he's talking about.

Speaker 4 (30:03):
Yeah, she's very happy her husband and she picked she
picked somebody equally yoked.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Good for her.

Speaker 3 (30:11):
She's so fucking happy.

Speaker 4 (30:13):
So when I see people who got it right, I'm
always like, what are you doing?

Speaker 3 (30:18):
How does this? How does this happen?

Speaker 1 (30:20):
You got it?

Speaker 2 (30:20):
You know, that's a work to Like my friend, my
writer friend, Lenny, beautiful wife happy, he happy, always jokes
about her, but he's happy.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
I know a lot of people, but they were they
fucking work at it because you really see. And that's
the thing too, I think that you know, I'm pretty
sure me and you are kind of the same. When
we just when we fall in love, we just like
fall in love. We don't fall in like mm hmm.
We just fall in love, you know. And then when

(30:50):
the love ship wears off, we have the like and
we're trying to find it.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
It's like crack, you know what I'm saying. We that crack,
and the crack made us so hot that night.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
Girl, everything smoking.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
And trying to get the same high. But you brought
the wrong product to do that. This guy was never
gonna sustain that high.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
You gotta get the right product. But that is a thing.

Speaker 4 (31:11):
So even in that situation, Adriana Israel, she had to
have a bad breakup, he had to have a bad divorce.

Speaker 3 (31:17):
That and he had cheated on his wife.

Speaker 4 (31:19):
He was like, I'm not a cheater, but I cheated,
and now here I come, and I knew I had
to be a different person.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
So they had to go through their ship. Like how
you're saying.

Speaker 4 (31:27):
You divorce divorceman, dude.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
I mean, those are kind of good ones today because
they learned. They so hopefully hopefully they know and they want.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
To try to do better.

Speaker 3 (31:39):
Eve is happy. Eve Yes.

Speaker 4 (31:42):
I had her on recently and she was saying she stopped,
She's in LA. She was like, I was in LA.
I was dating a bunch of guys who were like,
let's just see how this goes. She had a whole
bunch of situationships that were going nowhere, and she just stopped.
She just cut everybody off. She's like, I want something different.
And she met her husband and he was very honest,
very forthcoming, very like, didn't play no games. And she

(32:05):
was like, yes, this this feels good. She made a
conscious shift about what she was choosing to be in
her life, and so she made it. That's the thing, right,
It's the shift. It's like the shift knowing what you need,
knowing what is going to give you peace and happiness.
And then making a decision to go find that, and
so I think that that there's something in that.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Well, it's also to how we make our other decisions.
You know, when you want a piece of state, go
get a piece of steak. You know what I'm saying,
You put that in your conscious. It's the same thing
as far as too with men. You know, you know what,
like I always ask myself for a man that's like,
like you said, equally yoked, one that's not going to
get insecure for me, you know that got his own

(32:45):
shit going on, because that's always you know, someone who's
self aware and mentally healthy. And I know that's kind
of like a fuck thing to ask for, But men,
that is more sexy to me than any kind of
any kind of money you can pull out is someone
who is self aware and mentally stable.

Speaker 4 (33:06):
It's so funny that I'm getting ready to read this
because the truth is that during my interview, my alerts
kept going off. I had to put them on silent.
And it's because my cash app on my phone is
going off because my kids like to go crazy on
my cash app.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
But it is a good thing.

Speaker 4 (33:21):
So listen for all parents out there who have teenagers

Speaker 3 (35:25):
Doesn't it take a long time for that?

Speaker 2 (35:27):
Like?

Speaker 4 (35:28):
Even for me, I feel like I'm very self aware,
especially now, very self aware. I say what I mean,
I mean when I say, but I have to do
a lot of work myself, and.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
It's a continuous work, but you got to start it.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
Like I have to always tell men, y'all could have
did this shit during COVID take start doing something and
y'all learning how to make sour dough bread and shit,
could have been working on your working on yourself.

Speaker 3 (35:52):
What I know, you very you talk about therapy, you
are very like I'm.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
Very much own it because I always tell men, it's
such a great feeling to get through that yucky shit
and get on the other side.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
Because the woman that you're attracted to right now may
not even be the woman you're attracted to.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
When you get through your shit, you might get through
your shit and like big bitches, not model bitches. You
might life show you you don't know, like get past
your bullshit so you can feel good about yourself.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
Because when you feel good about yourself, you don't hurt people.
It's just a plain equation.

Speaker 4 (36:30):
It's like what you were telling me though too before.
It's like you gotta go through the muck a little bit.
You have to get to the other side. That's exactly
what it is.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
And a lot of people don't want to do that
because a lot of people are scared of one or
two things to look their muck in the face, and
I've changed. They're scared that they're going to be so different.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
You're not.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
You're gonna be relief and free.

Speaker 3 (36:54):
And better for yourself.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
And this is the thing about change too. Let me
tell you something. You can keep the nine change if
you want to change, don't give a fuck about you.
Change is only nice for a little bit and then
it has to move.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
It's just like a I don't want to say, a
baby coming out, maybe shit and something.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
It's like I waited, and I waited.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
I gotta move now.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
So if it hurts, I'm sorry, but you I've been
trying to prepare you. If you don't change, it's like
stagnant water hitting a wall. That shit becomes moldy and disgusting,
and you have to have an even flow. Be not
scared to grow old, Be not scared to move to
the next stage of your life. You are clearing the
way for other people to take your place, for you

(37:36):
to take that. But if you stop the system, shit
does not flow. Everybody trying to still be twenty years old,
go sit your motherfucking forty year old ass down and
live your forty year old motherfucking life. Stop trying to
stop the process of growing unless you a motherfucking vampire.

(37:58):
You know, always tell everybody who wants to do that
facelifts and breasts and all that shit, go look at
death becomes her, because that's what that's that's what it's about.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
It doesn't matter how much you do to your body.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
If you don't keep it up, if you don't eat right,
if you don't sleep, if you don't drink water, if
you don't consciously take care of your ship, that shit
just gonna break down. It's just gonna rust up, go
right back or break just like real talk. I always
this is this is the thing about I always say
self care. But I'm not talking about going to get
a massage or a fucking facial. I'm talking about self

(38:32):
motherfucking care. What is that Being able to look in
the fucking mirror. And this is something that you never
know about people. They can't look at themselves in the
mirror unless they getting ready. But if you can look
in the mirror and just stand there and look at yourself,
look into your eyes and tell yourself, hey, it's hard.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
Fuck, it's hard, but this is who we are.

Speaker 2 (38:56):
Love you even if you don't mean it right it Yeah,
yourself knows yourself. Like I said, just to my friend,
I was like, I said something so mean to myself
one day, you know, when I was getting I said
something so mean to myself that I made myself apologize.
I said, why would you say something so mean like that?

(39:17):
I said, take it back, and don't you ever say
that again.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
What did you say? I said something. I don't remember
what it was, but it was so mean that I
was like, girl, why would you say that to yourself?

Speaker 3 (39:28):
You probably would never even say that to somebody else.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
I would not. None of the stuff I say to
myself I would say to anyone else. So why am
I doing that to me? And I'm supposed to be my.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
Best friend And I wouldn't let nobody say that to
my friend my friends.

Speaker 1 (39:41):
I tell you, I was bucking knocking this motherfucker. I
could tell real talk.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
I could tell.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
I knew I was gonna love you, Leslie.

Speaker 2 (39:48):
I knew it.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
I just played with my motherfucker friend.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
I knew I was gonna love you. What is your like?

Speaker 4 (40:00):
Like I've had met I've had, like I think, there's
substantial moments in your life, like that time was really
hard and this is I had to go through that
to get to hear okay. And then you're coasting for
a while. Then something else happens and you got to
get to the other side. And I know you've been
through a lot in your life. You had a lot
of loss and grief, and I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
All all the things I think of self hate. I
had to get through self hate, you know, for the longest,
you know, I got made fun of and told so
long that I'm the different, ugly girl. I always had
pretty friends, the ugly girl in the group. You know,
I had to get through that type of does that happen?

Speaker 1 (40:33):
Oh ship from twelve and up?

Speaker 2 (40:35):
You know, so you know you had to I had
to deal with that I was the tallest girl, you know. Yeah,
you know, I was always tall. So you know, it's
just like that type of stuff I had to get through.
And and how do you do that?

Speaker 3 (40:46):
Because there's somebody out there that hasn't gotten gotten famous, famous.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
Famous, that became famous, Well, you start, people started liking
things about me that I hated, which made me have
to explore it more.

Speaker 1 (41:01):
Like why they like that?

Speaker 2 (41:03):
And I was like, oh, I didn't know that that
was okay, Well that's cool, like like your cheek bones, no,
my voice, my voice, my big ass mouth. I used
to hate when people would catch me and pictures when
I was like, I hated that shit.

Speaker 1 (41:17):
And then I was like, yeah, bitch, that's you. That's Leslie.

Speaker 2 (41:21):
You're Leslie like no one else is you. You know
what I'm saying that. Yeah, I had to start liking myself.
That was very much a part of it. And that's
why when people go I was like, I know what
you feel about yourself.

Speaker 1 (41:33):
Stop it like you.

Speaker 2 (41:35):
I don't have to start liking yourself unless you just
gonna go through some transfer more amation and you still
not gonna.

Speaker 3 (41:41):
But how do you do that? How do you? I
don't know? Is it therapy? Is it?

Speaker 1 (41:47):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (41:48):
Friends?

Speaker 1 (41:48):
Is fucking therapy?

Speaker 2 (41:50):
And yes, check whatever friends is around you because all
the motherfuckers that used to make me feel like that
are not in my life no more. You know, when
you're young, you don't You're just trying to be in
the crowd.

Speaker 1 (42:02):
You're trying to get.

Speaker 4 (42:03):
I'm thinking that because I'm looking at him now and
you're like successful, smart and all these beautiful things. But
like I had to go through a twelve year old girl. Yeah,
and people saying crazy shitzy.

Speaker 2 (42:16):
Yeah yeah, even teachers, Like I used to get it
from teachers, Like I mean, like, man, mister Moseley, if
you out there, ooh, motherfucker, I honestly hope that you're
ass in jail.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
That's what I hope.

Speaker 3 (42:27):
What did he do?

Speaker 2 (42:28):
He's just a piece of shit, but he's he used
to literally torture me.

Speaker 1 (42:32):
He used to torture.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
Me, but cause you because you were allowed, or I
was just different from everybody else and maybe I was
bad or whatever. But like the stuff he would do
to me is like you don't do that to a kid,
you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
So, and I would tell my dad.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
I never told my dad the day that he made
my nose bleed because I was so upset.

Speaker 1 (42:52):
I was so upset my.

Speaker 2 (42:54):
Hair for some reason, I couldn't do anything to my hair.
My hair started, so my mom hadn't started pray send
my hair and all of that. And I had this
hat on and I came in the hat and he
was like, you gotta take the hat off, and I
was like, please don't make me take my hat off
because it looks really bad. He was like, I don't care,
take your hat off. And I took my hat off
and everybody started laughing, and he started laughing, and I

(43:17):
put my head down and then when I had pulled up,
my nose was bleeding because I was so and my
friend was My friend was sitting by me.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
I remember this candidate. She was like, that's not fucking funny.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
She was mad. So I went to the bathroom and
she came to the bathroom with me, and I, you know,
would just clean up the blood or whatever. And I
went back and get my books and he was like,
come here. He was like, I'm really sorry. I shouldn't
have did that. And I just was like, fuck you.
You always do that shit. And I didn't tell my
dad why because my.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
Dad would have killed that nigga.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
My dad would have came up there and dog stumped
them because nobody played about by his daughter.

Speaker 1 (43:52):
Like he never knew nothing of the stuff.

Speaker 2 (43:54):
I woulda tell my mom some stuff, but she I
never told them, you know.

Speaker 1 (43:59):
But I do remember the last day of school, this
motherfucker gave me a d damn.

Speaker 2 (44:04):
I don't know why I'm telling this out loud. I
don't think I ever told the story out loud. He
gave me a D and I went back and I said,
why you give me a D? Like I did everything,
I tried to do everything. You always fucking with me.
And he was like, I gave you a D because
you deserved a D. I was like, oh, big nose, motherfucker.
And I walked out and he was like, nah, no,
we going to the principal's office. He took me to
the principal's office and he was like, yeah, she called

(44:24):
me a motherfucker.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
You can't.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
She need to get three licks cause that's when they
used to get called, you know, the three licks to
like with the paddle, used to get a paddle.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
Oh yeah, I'm old. They used to paddle the kids.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
So he was like, you can call your mom, or
you can get these three licks. I was like, call
my daddy. I said, you call my daddy. And I said,
and I'm gonna tell my daddy that you made my
fucking nose bleed because you was fucked up to me.
I said, so you call my daddy, Call my daddy,
And everybody knew my dad. My dad's like six seven
sergeant in the army.

Speaker 4 (44:55):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
So he was like, nah, nah, it was the last
day of school. He was like, nah, nah, we ain't
got to do that this last day. Fuck you, mister
Moseley if you're still.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
She was like, oh, I know that, mother.

Speaker 1 (45:15):
I love that story.

Speaker 4 (45:18):
You know what though, because that that tells me a
lot about where why? Because that some of that confidence
got to come from knowing that you love yourself no,
but also knowing that you're supported and loved at home.

Speaker 1 (45:30):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
And you know what's so crazy is that when people
used to try to when I got into comedy and
people would try to snap on me, I'd be like,
you can never out snap me, nigga about me, And
I'm gonna say the most hurtful thing to you, like
that that you know, that little thing that was going
out when it was like, that's why your mama did
That's the type of ship I would do.

Speaker 1 (45:51):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (45:51):
I was like, that's why your your dad fucked the
neighbor and that boy is your brother. But y'all try
to act like your friends. Oh you are terrorists. You
had your daddy in your back pocket. My dad will
fuck everybody. Yeah, so that's why that gave you a

Some of it we know you were amazing today.

Speaker 1 (49:23):
I don't care.

Speaker 4 (49:24):
Sometimes life just happens and we talk about what the
fuck we want to talk about?

Speaker 3 (49:27):
But where's my hair?

Speaker 2 (49:28):
It is?

Speaker 4 (49:28):
This is our segment, our grand new segment from Boost Mobile.
It's called a voice Note where we go into our
comments and our social media to find fans of the pod.

Speaker 3 (49:40):
We found a fan of Leslie Jones. All right, her
name is miss Whitney Joe. She said, Whitney Houston. She
sent the voice note for you. Come on, let us
play it all right, listen, it's our new segment, Leslie Jones.

Speaker 5 (49:58):
One thing is that she has no idea the impact
she has on other black women who are going day
to day with just how unapologetically she shows up as herself.
And I love her for that. I know they mistreat
you because they're I'm here mistreating us, Leslie, and you
continue to go. And that is the inspiration I took

(50:20):
away from your book, from seeing you on TV, from
watching your specials. I love that you are so unapologetically
yourself that it makes it the norm. You're my aunt,
you're my sister, you're my mom, and I feel that
I can show up and continue to be myself unapologetically
because you can either take me or you cannot. I
loved Leslie f n Jones her book. I laughed and

(50:43):
cried for seventeen hours straight. Leslie Jones makes me feel
like I can show up as myself unapologetically every day
as she does, and I love her for that.

Speaker 2 (50:52):
That's so sweet.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
That's all I'm trying to do.

Speaker 2 (50:54):
I'm trying to get the little girls that look like me,
that looked like me when I got made what look like.

Speaker 3 (50:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
I see a lot of kids that go through shit,
and I just want to tell them and hug them
and go just get through it. I swear it's going
to be so good when you get to a point
where you can control your life. Just get through it.
I see them all the time, and that is wonderful.
We gotta make it norm to be ourselves, because, like,
if you're so busy trying to be somebody else, who's

(51:22):
trying to be you. God made everyone different except for twins,
which is creepy, but a lot of your life you
live that.

Speaker 4 (51:30):
It helps you get the mother ways, but you you
live your life that way to get to get through
it and to become better.

Speaker 3 (51:35):
But then it affects somebody else.

Speaker 1 (51:38):
And I love that. I love that, And it's so funny.

Speaker 2 (51:42):
Whenever they say unapologetically me, I be like, I apologize
all the time. You do? You do?

Speaker 1 (51:48):
You don't seem like it. I don't.

Speaker 3 (51:50):
You know, Okay, you're not sorry. You're not sorry.

Speaker 1 (51:53):
I'm not sorry.

Speaker 3 (51:54):
But isn't that to me?

Speaker 4 (51:56):
That's always cause you know me too, even when I
do in my career, I don't.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
And I mean, yeah, like you lived your life how
you were, though Angie, Like you didn't change, you didn't
flipped the script who you was all the way. And
that's that's all of us doing that. We don't realize
that we all are doing that. We just don't give
each other. We don't give each other enough. That we
don't give ourselves enough that.

Speaker 4 (52:17):
But every now and then it lands where you are
confronted with somebody or something like that sends a message.
I heard that message and I was like I love
that she's inspired by your life that much, but the
fact that you would never know how many.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
People are inspired by you, Angie, Oh thank you. You
never know the little girls that listen to you and go, look,
oh my god, like so many people used to like Whoopy.
I got to tell Whoopy. I saw whoopee, and I
remember bursting into tears and running to my dad going, oh.

Speaker 1 (52:44):
My god, she looks just like me.

Speaker 2 (52:47):
I'm gonna be other to be on TV. She made
you feel like someone feel like that we both are. Yeah,
keep up the good work, you too, since I love
that she almost cried and I just love her. She's
such a have you developed like a friendship and oh
yeah that's my bit.

Speaker 1 (53:09):
I love her. Oh my god, she put you on
that game? Yeah, yeah, yeah, she put me on a
lot of games. Yes.

Speaker 3 (53:16):
And Chris too, right, Chris Rockets is somebody.

Speaker 1 (53:18):
Chris always.

Speaker 2 (53:19):
Chris is the dude that I text when I have
a problem with some and then he'd be like, you'll
be fine.

Speaker 1 (53:24):
That's his advice. You can see you'll be fine. Thanks,
don't worry about it.

Speaker 4 (53:29):
You did what and that's useful to you in some
spent way.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
All right?

Speaker 3 (53:34):
If that's Oh, here she is. Look that's the girl. Oh,
that's Whitney Joe.

Speaker 4 (53:39):
We found her on Instagram and we said we were
looking for more black women, but.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
Oh tell her she is just the sweetie pie.

Speaker 3 (53:46):
That is so cute, pretty girl. Come on, is she
wearing that bob Whitney Joe?

Speaker 2 (53:51):
All right?

Speaker 3 (53:52):
I like that little segment. That's a little segment.

Speaker 4 (53:54):
We also have a bawl. These are in real life questions.
Go in the bowl and pick something out and see
what you get.

Speaker 2 (53:59):
Okay, if God were to text you right now, what
would it say when you come here, You're gonna be
on probation. You're not getting right in, You're gonna have.

Speaker 1 (54:16):
To do some community service work.

Speaker 2 (54:18):
Just letting you know, here's your room when you finish.

Speaker 1 (54:29):
That's kind of a perfect answer.

Speaker 3 (54:31):
I kind of want you to go back in the bowl.

Speaker 1 (54:32):
Even though I can't.

Speaker 3 (54:33):
We can't top that. I feel like we should do
like one or two bowld questions. Oh God, that's kind
of perfect.

Speaker 1 (54:38):
Okay, Okay, okay, okay. What have you always wanted to do?
But have it?

Speaker 3 (54:46):
You've done a lot.

Speaker 2 (54:47):
I haven't got to play a superhero.

Speaker 3 (54:49):
You should be able to.

Speaker 2 (54:50):
I want to play a superhero. We need to want
to be I want to be I want to be
a Marvel superhero. Okay, hey, you're putting that in the universes.
That is that your universe sides? That was the one
I wanted to say.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
Where your last day on Earth? What would you be doing?

Speaker 2 (55:06):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (55:07):
I would sexually harass a man. No, that was that
was wrong.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
The way I said that, I would try to have
sex with someone that I like a lot, Like I
would smoke so much wheat and then I would eat
all my favorite things and then I would have sex.
I would be like, I would just start calling them up.
I was even if he's cut, I'd be like, Okay,
so this is the last day on Earth. You want
to have sex, and I'm pretty sure they're gonna say yes.

Speaker 4 (55:33):
Like the right one, yeah, yeah, and then you prepare
for your journey to go on probation.

Speaker 1 (55:38):
I was like, Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna go get
us a couple of sandwiches, you know.

Speaker 3 (55:44):
Oh no o oh she got.

Speaker 2 (55:47):
Into that's how I'm gonna do on our last day
of Earth too. Before you hit them, I want us
to die having sex.

Speaker 1 (56:00):
I wanted to be like.

Speaker 4 (56:06):
Oh my god, the other thing to ask me? All
Refletcher said she wanted her man to put her through
the mattress I mean, or the head bought.

Speaker 3 (56:19):
She wanted him to put her through one regret you have.

Speaker 2 (56:25):
Damn, it's sad, though it's gonna make everything sad. Before
you passed, I wish I had answered the phone.

Speaker 3 (56:34):
You didn't answer? Were you somebody that screens a lot?
Because I did that?

Speaker 2 (56:37):
It was how bad each other? He was doing some
dumb ship anyway, And I didn't feel like I was
making a lottery ticket in Atlanta, and I didn't feel
like answered I. I was like, just whatever, because he
had already did something and somebody had said he was
in the hospital.

Speaker 1 (56:50):
But I was like, oh, he's fine, I'll talk to
him later.

Speaker 3 (56:54):
Oh that's tough. How do you make peace with that?

Speaker 2 (56:57):
How do you make peace with that? You continue to
tell yourself fuck you know, tell people to fucking love
their people while they're here. If your loved one is you,
If you mad at your mama, unless your mama abused
you or did something fucking off of go make up
with your mama. If your daddy is still hearing you,
you he ain't like, go make up with people.

Speaker 1 (57:19):
Stop that ship. It's to you. I promise they gone
in a fucking minute.

Speaker 2 (57:23):
And ain't nothing worse than the people that's close to
you dying and them not knowing that you love them.
Ain't nothing worse than that? Nothing could have only thing.
If God came back and said, can I do something
for you? I'd be like, I want to talk to
my brother. I would cry and say I'm so sorry.

(57:44):
I hope it wasn't my fault that you died. Hm, godda,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's real. It's real to know
that people have real feelings. These are real things that
to people. It's okay feel that feeling. But don't stay there,

(58:05):
because I tell you one thing. My brother would answer
her back. He's like, I'm gone and I'm good girl.
You're still alive. Please live, don't stay here. And I
love that you're rich. Now that's so crazy, you know
what I mean? I love that you're rich too. You
deserve it, You deserve it.

Speaker 3 (58:24):
How often do you think about your legacy?

Speaker 1 (58:26):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (58:26):
Shit, I think about how people are going to think
about me when I die, because you know it's fleeting.
They'll have my funeral and then it'll be over. So
that's why you gotta live your fucking life. Yeah, you know.

Speaker 1 (58:38):
