I'm your host Rod, join us always.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
By my co host Karen, and we're live on a
Sunday afternoon. Ready to give you guys some podcasts. But
we're not alone. Okay, we have a guest. We have
a guest who is a comedian, a very tall comedian
who has a special coming out called highly Intelligent. It's
called Hilly Intelligent, and her name is Shauna Christmas.

Speaker 4 (00:46):
Hello, Hey, how you doing.

Speaker 5 (00:49):
I'm good for you guys. Do it good? Good?

Speaker 4 (00:52):
It's good to see you.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
I saw I saw the special like description and stuff.

Speaker 4 (00:59):
I haven't watched it that.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
When does it actually come out for everybody to see?

Speaker 5 (01:05):
Pacific time, I think?

Speaker 4 (01:07):
And how long you been doing stand up?

Speaker 5 (01:10):
Twelve years this November?

Speaker 4 (01:11):
So okay, okay, it changed.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
And before that you were like in a medical like
like the medical industry.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
How were you?

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:23):
Okay, so like are you? Does that translate it all?

Speaker 6 (01:27):
Like?

Speaker 3 (01:27):
Does it help with patients? Does it help with the job,
like does being funny help?

Speaker 5 (01:34):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (01:34):
It absolutely does a lot of times if I get
like a difficult patience, then people are like, how'd you
get them to come down here? I'm like, because I'm funny, mean,
I'm also mean, I leave that part out.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
But however, I feel like.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
That like industry, especially like your nurses, your age, your text,
I feel like it low key is under Oh it's
over index for funny.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
Like I actually think there's a lot of funny people
in it.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
But I wonder if it's partially like survival, like for
it to be such a serious job where you have
to deal with all kinds of adverse health outcomes, all
kinds of people's like attitudes and stuff. I wonder if
it's almost like Gallows humor, where it's like, man, you
gotta be funny or you're just gonna crack under this pressure.

Speaker 6 (02:22):
Yes, yeah, I think healthcare people in general have really
warped senses of humor, so like probably think of like
the worst thing that could possibly happen, and we'll all
be in the back like laughing about it. So you
have to be a little psychotic to deal with it,
because otherwise you'll be crying.

Speaker 5 (02:41):
I mean, we cry.

Speaker 6 (02:42):
Too, But what else are you supposed to do outside
of like I don't know, beat the people up right,
So you definitely have to be funny because there's nothing
else legally that you can do.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
Yeah, I feel like I have a bit of a
dark sense of humor like that, and it's very immediate,
So like I have to be careful who I displayed
with because you know, I like my immediate loved ones
is like easy, it's just you know, like they know.
But when I was working in New York and I
had to be like around other writers for the writer's

(03:14):
room and stuff for game theory. I remember one time
a writer played a prank on us. We didn't know
it was a prank obviously, but the joke was that
Sidney Sidney Castillo had gone.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
Yes, yes, yes, okay.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
So Sidney Castillo had gone over to like he was supposed.

Speaker 4 (03:35):
To be filming something during COVID.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
He was supposed to be helping him film something on
the set, and he played a prank on us where
he had some people call us and tell us that
he had like beat up the executive producer or something like,
like like the showrunner, Like he had just grabbed the
showrunner and slammed him against the wall, and so everyone
and they were like, he's coming back to the office
to get his belongings, so you know, just don't we

(03:59):
don't want anybody like to talk to him.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
Just let him get his stuff and leave the building.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
And so for some reason everyone comes into my office,
me and my friend Tommy. They come into our office
and they're like, what are we supposed to do? And
oh my god, I was making jokes for twenty minutes,
like it was so funny to me.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
I was like, because it's nothing we can do. It's
not my I was just.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
Like, and like the guy he picked supposedly picked up Stewart.
It is really short, and so I was like, everyone
was like dad, Criet, and I was just like, hey man,
but for real, none of y'all ever thought about picking
up stell Like he's so little.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
Y'all don't want to just do it.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
They're like, man, this isn't the time for jokes, man,
But yeah, I feel like it's immediate. So I can
imagine that it would help in that situation. Now, what
was the transition from like medical industry the comedy was
there stuff before? Were you like a drama kid in
school or you like where just where did the Ekland

(04:56):
to get on stage come from peer pressure.

Speaker 6 (05:03):
I I've always been a funny person, always getting in trouble
for being funny.

Speaker 5 (05:07):
Class clown.

Speaker 6 (05:08):
Mom's getting called because I'm saying stuff in class disruptive.
You have so much potential those conversations I used to
have all the time in school. And I got class
clown in high school. And I am was like, you
shouldn't be proud of that. I'm like, Jim Carrey does
made ten million dollars.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
I'm for being funny, right.

Speaker 5 (05:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (05:29):
I was trying to explain to her that it's totally
fine and I'm still going to college. It's not gonna
quit my life to do comedy and I still have it,
you know. But I've been funny my whole life. And
then people kept saying you can do comedy. I'm like,
that looks hard. There's nobody out there to help you
when you bomb. And I decided to just go so
people would leave me alone. And I went to my

(05:50):
first mic at Sapphire Strip Club, not the strip club.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
What is a strip club audience like when it comes
to being receptive to comedy? And I only asked because,
like I remember, we went to Charleston and we went
We went to a restaurant like we were just there
to eat some sushi or something, and comedy just bust
out like.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
They were all right, guys, and that it was time.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
And I felt like the people weren't receptive enough. You know,
I'm on vacation, I'm up for anything. I'm like, fuck it,
we're doing comedy now.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
And what was so funny because me and Roger loved
comedy so much we actually turned and started actually paying attention.
And a lot of times if it was funny, you
couldn't literally hear me and Roger.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Could be the only people laughing because I was like.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Oh, a PROMPTU comedy show while I'm eating and it's free,
and I was like, let's go.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
So for for I So food is one thing, but
I imagine horny dudes horned up for strippers, almost a
worst audience.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
But I wasn't.

Speaker 5 (06:55):
Well the way Sapphire is set up. I think Sapphire
is the world's largest strip club. You have to look
that up. If it wasn't.

Speaker 6 (07:03):
If it wasn't, it's not now, it was in the past,
but it's huge. It's got like Olympic sized pool in
the back. They've got a showroom that's separate from the strippers.
They had like a miss room, Star restaurant. Can make
it to it like it's not just like you know,
players club. Okay, So they have a room separate from
the strippers where they do like UFC watch parties in

(07:25):
football games. It's separate, so there's no strippers in there.
They do a mail review show on the weekends. Yeah,
so they got revolving doors for all the people to
kind of come in.

Speaker 5 (07:37):
So the comedy happened in the showroom away from the strippers.

Speaker 6 (07:40):
But I didn't go in there thinking if I bombed,
I can always go over there and then pull out.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
I also imagine like guys go there for recovery time.
You know, they're just like, all right, man, i've been
I'm a little hot on the lap dances, I'm a
little over my budget. Let me go watch County for
like an hour and chill DOWNE better.

Speaker 4 (07:59):
I'll come back getting the game.

Speaker 6 (08:01):
I don't want anyone like that at my show, to
be honest at home, he was like sat next to
a sad dude at the strip club one time, and
I was like, you look bored. He was getting and
he's actively getting a lap dance and he was sitting
there like he was bored, and I was like, you
look bored. He's like, it's just not doing it for me.
And then I made him laugh and he gave me
twenty bucks and I was.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Like, hey, wow, this is how it works.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
I feel like also doing comedy at the strip club,
like guys will get confused and they'll like walk up
to the to the to the stage and like try
to put twenty dollars in your pocket or whatever. I
wish you're very funny.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
Here's too, well, we're confused.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
I was like, where's your tongue?

Speaker 6 (08:42):
Yeah, I'm sure they would love for me to be
up there clapping ass, but no, no talking shit.

Speaker 5 (08:48):
But it was actually an open mic.

Speaker 6 (08:50):
So it was the worst kind of comedy because you
have to see like people who aren't funny too. Yeah
it was a guy with a puppet, it was. It
wasn't fun back there, but I was funny.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
Start you made it out, You made it out, You're
a success story.

Speaker 4 (09:05):
That's so funny.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
It's like knowing when you be like I made it
out the strip club, we'd be like, wow, you got
like a job. I made it out the Strip club
as a stand up comedian.

Speaker 6 (09:14):
Okay, yeah, went in there though, had a good time, right,
still like it still like going in there?

Speaker 5 (09:19):
Actually?

Speaker 3 (09:20):
Yeah, So do you still perform there for a stand
up or you just go as a customer?

Speaker 6 (09:24):
Now? No, just a customer. I don't think they do
stand up anymore in there. Actually they might not even
do the open mic anymore.

Speaker 5 (09:31):
But they still have the Men of Sapphire on Saturday nights.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (09:35):
And if you like to see sweaty dudes.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Pick up women pick up, they love to pick up
a woman's six three?

Speaker 4 (09:45):
Do you Okay?

Speaker 5 (09:45):
There you go? Yeah, you've watched the stand up. You
see there's a nice stip chunk about how dangerous that is.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
Yeah, yeah, I can just see.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
I think the dudes take it as like a The
stripper dudes definitely take it as some sort of like
it's an internal contest they're having.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
I'm sure.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
I don't think it's about the ladies at that point.
I think it's about each other and like how much
they can squad because because like if you ever look
at like one of those like bachelorette parties, they and
I mean and Dante Narrow he used to form a stripper.
They talk about like, oh no, you go find the
biggest person and you pick her up for everybody like,

(10:28):
And I'm like, have we asked if this is a
turn on? Or is this just simply like you guys
have decided that it's a turn on?

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Like?

Speaker 4 (10:37):
Wi, which one?

Speaker 5 (10:38):
Is it?

Speaker 6 (10:38):
Right?

Speaker 2 (10:38):
Because if I could pick you up, I could pick
anybody in here.

Speaker 5 (10:41):
Basically, No, some of us like to have our whole
body on the ground. We don't need to be up there.
It's okay, I'm up here enough.

Speaker 6 (10:49):
Actually, right, be still for a second and just yeah,
I don't need to be it's too much, right.

Speaker 5 (10:59):
I don't like it. I don't. I don't know if
who likes that? Maybe small people. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
I would.

Speaker 5 (11:05):
I'm terrified.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Are men intimidated by you because of your height? Particularly
in the comedy comedy Yeah, in the comedy community, I
mean just period.

Speaker 6 (11:14):
Yeah, community men are intimidated. So I don't know why
I'm so cool.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
I feel like, but maybe your time is coming because
the w n B A is hot right now, and
I'm starting to see these guys really get into this
idea of like, you know, finding them a tall lady
and just being like.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
A kept man. Just I want soft life.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
I'm looking at angel Reaes, like how do I get
into that?

Speaker 5 (11:44):
Check?

Speaker 3 (11:45):
Like they don't seem it's not a romantic thing. I
don't think it seems very It feels like I g models,
but flip the polarity, like yeah, but but I feel
like that that must be doing something in the game.
Our dudes now approaching you that wells.

Speaker 6 (12:00):
To be because a lot of the girls aren't gay
anymore either.

Speaker 4 (12:04):
True, Yeah, that's true. They did a long time.

Speaker 5 (12:08):
It was like they aren't talking to y'all.

Speaker 4 (12:10):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 6 (12:11):
They're more effeminine now they're out here with their asses out,
and I think it is helping. But I don't know
if anybody wants to be taking care.

Speaker 5 (12:20):
Of no dude, what don't go over here with that? Yeah,
I mean, what are you talking about? I don't have
any money exactly.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
Yeah, it's very ig model like, like it doesn't like
they don't seem to be bringing much to the table,
which is like Darth, it's a lot of like angel
Rees got an n I L deal. I gotta figure
this out. You were you in the basketball or athlete
at all? Being tall because I was listening to an
interview of you on a podcast about bodies and God

(12:52):
Steph infection. It was a oh okay, and and and
I know you said you've been tall like forever, like
you've been tell your whole life. So were you encouraged
to play sports or did you play sports?

Speaker 5 (13:06):
I played sports.

Speaker 6 (13:07):
I was encouraged to play the one I don't like,
which is basketball, and so I didn't.

Speaker 5 (13:12):
I just don't. I don't enjoy people touching me. I
don't enjoy it.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
And yeah, yeah, I found me.

Speaker 5 (13:22):
Oh I'm going to fight like I'm not a fan.

Speaker 6 (13:25):
I went to one practice in sixth grade because they
all were like, you should go in this big bitch
name Heather in the eighth grade pushing me.

Speaker 5 (13:32):
I was like ninety eight pounds in sixth grade. I'm
not intimidating anybody. I'm the skinniest person. You might get
a sharp.

Speaker 6 (13:40):
Elbow or like a poke in the eye, but I'm
not posting up or whatever.

Speaker 5 (13:43):
I don't even know what that means.

Speaker 4 (13:46):
I do love the idea.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
I love the idea of playing basketball and then someone
getting physical and then you be like, like, what are
you doing?

Speaker 5 (14:00):
Is this what the game? Is to get the ball.
Why are you pushing me down.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
Just looking at the car at me for no reason.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
You're looking at the coach like she hit me?

Speaker 1 (14:11):
What is? What is this game?

Speaker 5 (14:13):
I find it very rude?

Speaker 2 (14:17):
And I love basketball and when we being sure I
just was not athletic enough.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
But I love basketball. I love it too.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
But the thing most people don't realize until you like
actually play against women.

Speaker 4 (14:31):
They play so much more physical it's insane.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
We used uh in college, the women's basketball team for
Fabel State. They would come to the basketball court during
men's pick up basketball, so like not the men's basketball team,
but just us guys who played basketball. They would come
over to run with us because they uh, most women's
basketball teams practice against men and that's how they get

(14:57):
so good. And since we were HBC, you, we didn't
have a budget to have like scholarship male athletes who
just compete against the girls in practice, right, big schools
have that, Okay, so they would just come.

Speaker 4 (15:11):
State university. Okay, let's go all right.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
So they so they would come over to the basketball
court and play against us, and they would play with
their five like they would not pick up dudes. The
US five girls going against whatever dudes y'all got. And
and then they they would come over to the Seabrook Park,
which is.

Speaker 4 (15:36):
That's just the hood.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
That's like, that's that's not even like at least at
the school gym. Everybody got reason to be there and
they and they.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
I was like, yeah, yeah, that means you outside of
the college.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
And so uh playing at the park, which I used
to play at the park a lot, because you know,
we grew up here playing outdoors.

Speaker 4 (15:58):
It really and I unders.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
Like the unspoken rules of like language, yeah I'm not
I know who not, the disrespect and all that type
of ship.

Speaker 4 (16:06):
So I can make it over there.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
Some of the college dudes, I would pretend I didn't
know them because they just they didn't have the they
didn't have it.

Speaker 4 (16:13):
I remember.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
I remember a dude tried to call a charge and
I and then he looked at me and was like
rad And I was like, motherfucker, I don't know you
like a charge and pick up basketball. You're gonna get
shut out here. But they came. They came to the
hood basketball court, kept a five and ran the court
and they was beating our ass. And I don't just
mean beating our ass because oh they hit so many shots.

Speaker 4 (16:37):
No, I mean physically they were beating our ass.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
And if you called a foul, they were they were
way worse on you. They was like, really, you're gonna
call a foul like a bench and you'd be like, no,
I'm a man, I'm no showball.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
It's okay to slap me in the face.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
While you taking your left arm and putting it back
in this hole.

Speaker 5 (16:57):
With them they did they too rough, very.

Speaker 6 (17:01):
And I did the one practice and I was like, okay,
I did it, guys, and.

Speaker 5 (17:05):
So never again.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Yeah, this is going to be the end of my career.

Speaker 5 (17:10):
Yep.

Speaker 6 (17:11):
I played volleyball and ran track. I had a nice time.
You stay over there, we over here. Ain't nobody touching, right,
It's all good.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
They give out scholarships for volleyball and track and all
that stuff too, So yeah, I definitely feel you on that.

Speaker 4 (17:26):
And you say you went to cook Man, what'd you
go to what'd you major in?

Speaker 1 (17:30):
Well?

Speaker 6 (17:30):
I major to nursing because I was delusional, and then
about three years in I was like, oh, I don't
want to do this, and then I left and ran
around for fifer six years being a Dagabond and then
I was like, ooh, I can do therapy, and so
I went back to school to do therapy.

Speaker 4 (17:46):
So yeah, I went to school.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
Originally I wanted to be a computer scientist and my
dad's a computer programmer. I was like, I want to
be like my dad, and uh that was very hard
and I was like, oh, I actually do not want
to be.

Speaker 4 (18:03):
Parents. Motherfucker really smart.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
And so I ended up changing my major to like business.
But I ended up having to stay extra year in
school for that. I can't even imagine what it's like
now with how much school costs. I was thinking this
the other day when I was walking down the street
last night on College Street, and I was like, they
should change every college street in America the student lawn Avenue.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
Yes they should.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
And I feel like that with yes, like oh no,
what you want to do is yet what you want
to do? What you want to turn on Sally May,
It's like, cause that's really all it is now, It's
just fucking that, it's.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
Not that that is all it is. And for me,
same thing, I ended up changing my major. I had
initially went to school to be a teacher, and once
you get into a certain level you have to take
like this expensive ass test that you got to pay poe,
and if you fuck around and flunk that bitch, it
delays you going into your upper level classes and then

(19:03):
you have to pay for it again. I was like, no,
I'm not I'm a college student. I'm not giving you
two hundred dollars for a test I may or may
not pass. And then they have this thing where once
you get to a certain level, you get to go
like out to out with the teachers, so you almost
get to kind of shadow a teacher. I don't know
if they still do this now, Like you get to
shadow a teacher to kind of see what they do.

(19:24):
And I sat down, I was watching teacher. I said, oh,
I'm not built for this, because it was it was
a lot of getting put It was smaller children, so
it was a lot of getting them to kind of
get structured. Because I think children up to a certain
age are very free, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
They get to kind of move around.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
And so somebody with all this energy you telling them
to sit the fuck down.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
They're like why, you know, cause they form and fied.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
They don't understand I got to move around now, you're
telling me to sit down and be structured and do
all this boring shit that I don't want to do.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
So it's a lot of sit down, be quiet, sit down, be.

Speaker 4 (19:58):
Quiet, like the whole, the whole.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
I was like, oh, I'm good on that, homie.

Speaker 5 (20:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (20:03):
You know what's crazy about school being like a scam
in general? A lot of these degrees you don't even
know what you'll be doing until you're already like three
years in, like you're about to graduate, and it's like,
what if I want to change my mind? What else
can I do with all these credits that I have,
a lot of times you can't really move them to
a different degree or it's just like I did all this.
It's like I don't want to be just giving pills

(20:23):
to people. I thought I was gonna be in here helping,
and when you're giving drugs and walking off, I'm like,
that's not what I want to do.

Speaker 5 (20:29):
And now what do I do?

Speaker 3 (20:30):
And when you get the job, you realize that, like
the school part of it isn't that important, you know
at all? Right, I minored in banking and finance, and
so I had to take all the right exactly. I
had to take all these accounting classes, and the accounting
classes were so fucking hard to me, but I did manage.

Speaker 4 (20:52):
To pass them all.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
And I get to I get the job out of
school and they're like, yeah, we're gonna put you in
the account's department. And I'm like, all right, cool, you
know whatever, I've learned this, I know the ropes.

Speaker 5 (21:07):
Man.

Speaker 4 (21:07):
I swear to god, I'm not joking that.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
It was the opposite of what they taught me, Like
a debit and a credit at this company were the
fucking opposite of what I learned in college.

Speaker 4 (21:17):
I was confused.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
I was like, no, they said this, and they're like,
you know, that's not what we do here. I'm like, then,
what the fuck is the point of school? You can't
just change the definition?

Speaker 5 (21:29):
Yes, baby, Yes, make a T shirt. What is the
point of school?

Speaker 1 (21:33):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (21:34):
And the thing is, baby, particularly now, since I am
in a accounts payable, debits and credits very depending on
if you're own accounts payable or account's receival, they mean
something completely different and they don't teach you that.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
And now they didn't say that like we just learned accounting.
They didn't say accounts receivable accounting and accounts, payable over counting.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
They are fucking different. And when I tell you that,
shit is goddamn confused. Like until you once you understand
the concept, you're like, oh okay, but when you you'd be like,
do this and they be like, nah, that's a credit,
But bitchy, it's the.

Speaker 4 (22:08):
First three months of that job.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
Every time we did the end of the month closing statement,
the manager will basically just like take it from me
the way you take like a kid's homework to fix it.
Like it was just like what the fuck, I'll do it,
Like I'm just like, well, I'm not going to learn
anything if you do it. But also I now he
has six?

Speaker 5 (22:30):
How many credits? If you take away seventeen?

Speaker 1 (22:34):
She have left?

Speaker 5 (22:35):
Yes the paper?

Speaker 3 (22:38):
Now, how did you come up with the title for
your stand up special? Highly Intelligent?

Speaker 5 (22:44):
I actually did it. It was my director because he's
smarter than me.

Speaker 6 (22:48):
I had a different title for it, and as he
was editing, he goes, I want to change the name of.

Speaker 5 (22:53):
You're Special, and I was like okay, and he goes,
I want to call it this and I was like.

Speaker 6 (23:00):
Okay, it's kind of like a double undone because I'm tall,
but Also I use that phrase at the end of
my special where I talk about something pretty significant. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
And I call myself highly intelligent because of that. So
and now I did a podcast the other day and
the girl who was interviewing me was like, I'm highly
intelligent too, and I was like, oh, oh, like now

(23:25):
it's like becoming this like secret society.

Speaker 3 (23:28):
Okay, yeah, yeah, we're gonna talk about that too. But
I guess also like were you precious about it? Like
cause I feel like, as a creative, we have our
plan in our head and you definitely want input and
feedback and create like it helps like obviously, and I'm
a team player as well, but you know, you have

(23:49):
a way it was gonna go. You had your special
name in your head. Was it just an immediate thing,
We're like, yep, that's the new name, no problem, or
were you kind of like let me think about it.

Speaker 6 (24:00):
I thought about it because he explained it where he
was like comedy specials. You know, two words is always
a little bit easier. It's catchy or it's punchy, it's shorter. Also,
it ties into what you were saying as opposed to
like mine was like, am I too?

Speaker 5 (24:13):
Dark.

Speaker 6 (24:14):
That's what I called it at first, and so when
he kind of explained it, he was like, this is
going to play better in terms of like how people
receive it. And also you do mention those words in
the specials. It's like when you watch a movie and
like the actor says the name of the movie and you're.

Speaker 4 (24:30):
Like, oh, that is the best, that is the best. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (24:35):
So once he explained it, I was like, fine, And
he's directed multiple specials, he's doing done comedy for twenty
some years, so I trust his.

Speaker 5 (24:43):
Input more than my own stupid ideas about stuff.

Speaker 6 (24:46):
So it was it was maybe like an hour I
thought of that and I was like, okay, yeah, it
turns out it's pretty great.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
So no, it's a very catchy name like off rip
before you even know anything about the details of the
special and even if you don't know any of the contexts.
To me, it's like, oh, look, this black woman is
saying she's highly intelligent.

Speaker 4 (25:08):
She's telling you already out the gate. I feel like
a lot.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
Of times black women like almost feel a pressure to
put themselves down sometimes and you're like no, I'm just
all you know, like even just now, you were like
my own stupid ideas, and I'm like, nah, highly intelligent,
let's go with that, you know, so I can kind
of I like that. It's kind of like saying even
before people even know the context, is saying to them like, hey,

(25:30):
check out this highly intelligent black woman special.

Speaker 5 (25:33):
And you know what it is too.

Speaker 6 (25:35):
There's a lot of discourse amongst the blacks about what
black comedy is, and there's this stereotype of what that
looks like to a lot of people. And I tend
to have harder times in all black rooms because I
don't come in like that My comedy isn't deaf comedy.

Speaker 5 (25:53):
Jam. I'm not singing with the DJ for five minutes.
I don't even want him to play a song. I
don't care. And like, I get so nervous when they're like,
what song do you want to play? I'm like, I
don't know.

Speaker 6 (26:06):
I guess it stresses me out because I already know
they have this expectations that I'm there and do the thing,
and I'm like, no, I'm gonna.

Speaker 4 (26:14):
Do something that is funny.

Speaker 5 (26:15):
I wonder where you guys will laugh.

Speaker 3 (26:17):
I wonder what happens if you pick I wonder what
I wonder if you could use the song almost like
a signal to tell people like, hey, calm down, I'm
not gonna I'm not gonna be stool humping. Okay, you know,
it's like walking to the stage Shauna Christmas.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
It's like rain.

Speaker 4 (26:37):
Over everybody. Everybody's already like like this when they come.

Speaker 5 (26:42):
Immediately, they crossed. When I want to when I'm not
doing the immediately.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
Is Yeah, it definitely feels like a writing passage.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
I was like, make me laugh whenever you go to
stand up.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
And it's like black Night or like Black Designation. You
can just feel like, I don't know how much comedians.
I mean, it's part of the job. It's a job.
It's the same way that I sang Happy Birthday when
I was a waiter, right, I don't really give a
funk about your birthday. But I feel like they have to.
I feel like they have to do it like you.
It's like, oh, you got the throw to whatever you

(27:17):
know future own. You gotta come out and do that
fucking dance and you gotta cut the mic off, but whatever,
you gotta do the whole thing.

Speaker 6 (27:24):
No, I literally do not do that, and they hate it.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
Why I got there with a spotlight and crickets.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
They've been like crabbing, like what's happening here?

Speaker 5 (27:37):
Energy?

Speaker 6 (27:38):
But it's not that it's not I'm not rapping along
the future. I do know some of the songs, but
I don't. I don't want you to play it for
a whole what are we doing a minute? I don't
want to This is fun for you guys like.

Speaker 5 (27:53):
Yeah, I got some things like to share. You're a
little bit dark. Then you like it and if you
don't like it, that's fine, it'll be over soon. But
it is a struggle on time. After Shaw was in
Harlem and it was it was a rough go for me,
but I found.

Speaker 6 (28:09):
My people in there. It wasn't a lot of us,
but there was someone in there. And one guy was like,
I see what you were trying to do up there.

Speaker 5 (28:15):
Like trying to do like I'm trying to trick him?
What does that mean? Like you're supposed to hear the
thing and then laugh. It's not like some.

Speaker 6 (28:25):
Right like that, but sometimes my jokes are like that
and maybe he feel like I was trying to like
trick him, and I was like.

Speaker 5 (28:32):
No, I mean I talked about Dick too.

Speaker 3 (28:34):
Right, But he's like, I see what you was trying
to do? You was trying to be funny.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
Okay, I was being.

Speaker 5 (28:42):
Funny over there. I found them, and I.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
Almost like, we'll Ben will be one of those seven
people I love whenever an it's hilarious though, because I
have such a.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Loud and hearty laugh. A lot of times that me
and Roger.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
Go to like a common club like and this, particularly
if it's like a small room, even if they can't
see for some reason, the comedian would actually consistently kind
of looking that direction.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
We went to one comedy show and it.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
Was like everybody was so stiff, and our table was
like the only table laughing, and our laugh a lot
every gave everybody else permission to laugh. I was like,
why are you here if you're not here to laugh?
And I was a sudden COMMEDYE was like.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
I am going to tell jokes straight to this table.
I don't care about nobody.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
Else in this room because y'all ain't getting none of
my jokes.

Speaker 6 (29:30):
That's actually a seasoned comedian to just ignore everybody else.
When you're newer, you get mad that no one else
is laughing, so you try to get those people on
your side, and we ignore the people that are already there.
So that person who's like, oh fuck y'all, Oh well,
I'm gonna do the show to this section here and
we have got all right, it's okay. If you guys

(29:51):
don't get it, you can have your own little thing
over there, or don't go to comedy shows ever.

Speaker 5 (29:55):
Again, I don't know, right, but I'm gonna do my
jokes to these people who get it. Yeah, that was
a Scenson move.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
How long had how long did you work out this special?
Like with this, whether it be for like like is
this your first specials or yeah, okay, so what I'm
sure it wasn't the whole twelve years you were like,
you know, joke on day one is in special twelve
years later, But like, I'm sure at some point you
knew you were going to record this.

Speaker 4 (30:21):
So how long were you like working in and workshopping
just this specific special.

Speaker 6 (30:27):
I gotta be honest. Some of the jokes in there
were like day one jokes.

Speaker 4 (30:30):
Oh okay, my part of me I apologize.

Speaker 5 (30:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (30:34):
It takes so long to develop jokes that are consistently good,
and sometimes you get bored with them and then you
don't do them anymore, and then you come back to
them and you have a different perspective on it and
you can add different stuff to it. So some of
the stuff that I did is from when I first started,
and obviously there's newer stuff in there kind of mixed in.
But even when I started comedy, I didn't know if
I wanted to do a special. That wasn't one of

(30:56):
my goals at first. I think my goal was just
to be funny, And as I kept going, I was like, Oh,
what can I do with all this funny that I
have now? Because then you get, like I said, you
get bored and you kind of want to push yourself
as well, because you do get tired of telling the
same jokes for these ten minute sets here and there,
and they're very funny, but you like, you want to
work on new things or you want to expand yourself.

(31:17):
And so I would say there's a mix of like
stuff from when I first started and stuff that like
the past. My dad's in there. My dad passed away
in twenty twenty three and so he's in there too,
So there's some newer stuff and some older stuff kind
of mixed in. But right around year ten or nine,

(31:39):
I was like, you know, what I want to do
a special because I kind of want to see if
I can write new stuff too. I feel like sometimes
you kind of get kind of you kind of rest
on whatever works and you don't really see if you
can do anything different. And so I was like, let
me see if I can. I'm going to do these
jokes and then never do them again. But that's a
lie because I'm still doing that especial yet. No one

(32:00):
sitting special yet, so I can keep doing them jokes
on me. You're still doing that, but I'm also writing
new stuff. So it's that's how it came up.

Speaker 5 (32:09):
Though.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
Was your family very supportive because you know, when you
go to school, you get all these degrees.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
And you're like, I won't tell ha has. They were like,
but school.

Speaker 6 (32:18):
I didn't start combed till I was way done with school,
so nobody cared. I had a job, Okay, so yeah,
I started in my thirties. I was already working, already
running around. But my mom was like, you can do
whatever you want as long as you aren't sleeping in
your car.

Speaker 5 (32:34):
Right.

Speaker 6 (32:34):
So she's never seen a show of mine. She's never
come to any shows. She's never my dad never came
to any of my shows.

Speaker 5 (32:42):
Is it that's how far they are?

Speaker 4 (32:44):
Is it the car?

Speaker 1 (32:45):
Like they was like, loon, you ain't sleeping your car
with care what you do?

Speaker 3 (32:50):
I feel like it's that thing too. I don't know
if you have this, but it feels like a black thing. Okay,
so I don't know if every race has this, but
it feels like a black thing to me. The long
as you gotta good job, you can do whatever creative
endeavor you want to do. Do that, but don't let
it fuck up your day job. Essentially this I know.
When I started doing this podcast full time. It was

(33:15):
after I got laid off the second time and my
dad was helping me. I forget what he was helping
me do, but he's helped me do something. We're in
this truck and we were driving back to the house
and he's just like, I don't know anything about podcasting,
but do you think you can do this? For like,
you can make this your job? Are you sure? And

(33:36):
I was like, I don't know, but I have to try,
and he was like, all right, then I understand. Like,
but my whole life up until that moment had been
don't let.

Speaker 4 (33:46):
This fuck up your day job, Like I wonder if
your yeah, my dad yeah, I.

Speaker 5 (33:54):
Mean shouts having a dad just throw it in our face.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
Like I'm sorry, sorry, But at least you gotta know
at least you know, like, at least y'all.

Speaker 4 (34:03):
Know I appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
You know what I'm saying, because I feel like what
happens is especially you know, obviously our condolences, but for
people that have like lost parents, a lot of times
they be like, y'all, don't even mother fucking appreciate the
motherfucker they're right there, they still helping your ass. My
parents is gone, and I just want people to know
I appreciate mine.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
I love them.

Speaker 4 (34:21):
We was at Kendrick Lamar last night with my mama.

Speaker 3 (34:24):
Wow, listen, Okay, this is elaked parenting that I'm experiencing,
and I need the world to know I'm flexing.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
Two parent household flexing.

Speaker 5 (34:39):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (34:40):
Wow, both of your parents support dream right right and
good parents too.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
They were at the they.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
Were at our well, when they were at our when
they were at our live show earlier this year, greeting
some of the fans. They had lots to say, but
you know, that's just it's fucked up the world. So
fucked up. It's like two parents. This motherfucker right here
got he got too much going on.

Speaker 4 (35:05):
Okay, That's how fucked up the world is.

Speaker 6 (35:08):
Every time you say something about your dad, I'm always like, oh,
my dad never did that.

Speaker 3 (35:13):
Yeah, So did you want them to show up and
they didn't or was it like good j'all didn't show
up because I don't want you all to see the
work what I'm doing over here.

Speaker 5 (35:23):
I don't know when I played sports.

Speaker 6 (35:26):
My mom she worked two jobs and she's from Trinidad,
so she doesn't even understand what I'm doing when I'm
playing sports on the volleyball games and she'd be like,
what does that mean?

Speaker 5 (35:35):
Like I don't know how you win or whatever. So
I'm like it's it's fine. She's like, did you guys
have fun?

Speaker 6 (35:39):
And I'm like yeah, So she doesn't even understand what
I'm doing when she comes. Anyway, my dad never came
to that kind of stuff. I think it came to
like one track meet or something like that.

Speaker 5 (35:50):
But uh, I remember when I started doing comedy. I
was like that I'm doing my first show. He was like,
when you get on TV, let me know, And I
was like, first of all real hard.

Speaker 3 (36:01):
First of all, I don't know why you think. You
think they just showing up on fucking That's not.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
How that works.

Speaker 6 (36:08):
And I'm so I'm so pissed because I feel like
I might be on TV suit and he's he's dead not.

Speaker 5 (36:13):
To see it. I can't be like he see I'm
gonna bring his ashes.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
Yeah, just sit it on the siting on the stool,
like and press place. See that.

Speaker 4 (36:25):
Yeah that is so.

Speaker 3 (36:26):
That is so funny man to be like, get on TV.
It's like you don't understand how hard this job is. Okay,
come see it enough.

Speaker 5 (36:34):
That's all it was. He wasn't.

Speaker 6 (36:36):
I knew he wasn't gonna come, And I part of
me didn't want them to come, especially with comedy because
like my mom was like, you curse too much.

Speaker 5 (36:42):
I'm like you do too? What right?

Speaker 4 (36:44):
I got it from you?

Speaker 5 (36:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (36:46):
Do they like comedy? Like?

Speaker 2 (36:48):
What?

Speaker 3 (36:48):
Like were they fans of stand up or? Like my
dad was, okay, yea, my.

Speaker 5 (36:54):
Brother's name is Richard because he named her Richard Pryor.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
I feel like that's a common thread though, because I
feel like a lot of funny people, uh and I
and parents they'll like stand up but then they don't
necessarily like you being funny, like it's not like it
don't eat for some reason, they don't understand.

Speaker 4 (37:14):
It's like, well, the.

Speaker 3 (37:15):
Only time I saw you smile and and and and
like full of love and joy was watching this motherfucker
cush and say the N word. Why would I not
want to give those feelings to the world and to
you as well, Like it's kind of interesting that they
see no, not, they don't see the same value in it.

Speaker 6 (37:35):
My dad actually had more fun like pranking the children,
like putting putting bugs under the door or taking a bath.
Oh no, he got to he was cackling while he
was terrorizing us. I never saw him laugh at time.
I know he had the vinyl albums, but that was
not when I saw him have a good time. I
saw him have a good time while he's like driving
the car drunk and then letting go of the steio

(37:56):
wheel and like, oh my.

Speaker 5 (37:58):
God, we're gonna crash. Got to grab the well, oh
my god, that was hilarious.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
Sore comes from, Yeah, there you got.

Speaker 3 (38:08):
That's where you get the dark humor. And then the
occupational therapy. You know, you can help people after they
drive drunk it out goes hand in hand and crashes
and stuff.

Speaker 4 (38:18):
Do your people you work.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
With in your your your day straight job?

Speaker 4 (38:23):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (38:23):
I don't know what your colonies do they know about
your like comedy and stuff? And if so, oh, man,
is it better or worse that day now?

Speaker 1 (38:31):
Because some people keep it separate.

Speaker 6 (38:35):
I think it's better. I think it's hard for me
to keep it separate anyways, because they eventually find out somehow.
Like this job I'm at right now, I used to
work there back in the day and my old coworkers
still there. So when I even came to work, everybody
was like I heard you were a comedian.

Speaker 5 (38:52):
I was like fuck, Like okay, yes I am.

Speaker 6 (38:55):
And then the words spread amongst all the departments and
janitors are like, are you the comedian?

Speaker 5 (38:59):
I'm like, yes, who are you?

Speaker 6 (39:02):
The AMBITIONUS apartment knows who I am, and I don't
want everybody know who I am.

Speaker 5 (39:06):
I want to be Yeah. I hate that part, but
they all came to one of my shows and.

Speaker 4 (39:10):
I'll take their money, so that's nice.

Speaker 6 (39:12):
They're super supportive because they don't it's like for them,
it's really cool to like know somebody.

Speaker 5 (39:16):
Who's like entertaining, like interesting, like Ooh.

Speaker 6 (39:19):
I know somebody who does something that's different and cool
and I want to go, oh, I wish.

Speaker 5 (39:23):
I could do that.

Speaker 6 (39:24):
And so I don't mind it now because they're my audience.
There were times where I was like, I don't want.

Speaker 5 (39:31):
To see y'all outside.

Speaker 6 (39:33):
Yeah, most people I work with are younger people too,
so it's not like it's, you know, a bunch of old,
boring people.

Speaker 3 (39:39):
Would it be Would it be different if it was
like the HR manager showing up to the standing up special?
Like with it like with that, like it is the position,
like if it's a like if it's a twenty five
year old intern, it's kind of like whatever. But if
it was like a fifty year old dude that decides
if you get a raise, would you like Taylor to
stand up that day?

Speaker 5 (39:58):
No, you came to my show.

Speaker 6 (40:01):
We ain't at work, respect and you out here drinking
HR person.

Speaker 4 (40:04):
Like y'all both right now?

Speaker 6 (40:11):
Notes Yeah, like hold on, don't be bringing out here
because I'm gonna bring it.

Speaker 4 (40:15):
Up to rights.

Speaker 1 (40:20):
Well.

Speaker 3 (40:21):
Also like in your stand up special And once again,
like I said, I haven't gotten to see it yet.
We saw the description, But it is in the description
that like you talk about being a survivor of sexual
assault and like is that how does that dynamic work
in your personal life? With like this is in my
this is in my set, and some of the people

(40:42):
I work with, they might come see me at the
record or see me you like do stand up?

Speaker 4 (40:49):
Is like does that make.

Speaker 3 (40:51):
It awkward at work? Or are people like you know,
reticent to bring it up? Are people more like you know?

Speaker 4 (40:57):
Almost?

Speaker 3 (40:59):
Because I think one of the issues around sexual assault
is that people act like it doesn't happen as often
as it does, right, And so I feel like there's
a normalizing thing that happens when it's like like it's
almost a relief. When someone's like, yeah, that did happen
to me, It's like, oh, well, so does it help
some people open up or does it just make things awkward?

Speaker 6 (41:19):
The special was actually the first time I ever talked
about it on stage, So when you see it, you
can tell I'm like nervous because I'm recounting it out loud.
I've written about it before, and so some people know
about it through the posts that I wrote about it,
But the Stamp Special is the only time I talked
about it, and so people don't know I did.

Speaker 5 (41:39):
It yet, so okay, so if they read the description.

Speaker 6 (41:43):
Yes, but when you guys see it, people probably will
talk to me more about it. I mean, when I've
done certain things that shows about my dad or stuff
like that, people come to me after shows and say,
my dad had dementia too, or my mom was a
nursing homer. I'm always doing things that's relatable to some
people anyway. So I think with the assault thing, I've
already had people After the night that I taped, I

(42:04):
could tell there were people people were crying legit after
my after the show, after both shows, it was weird,
and people were like, thank you for saying that and
talking about it, and you know, and I knew that's
what the response would be because I had already written
about it a couple of years ago. But I don't

(42:24):
discourage people if they do feel like they have to
talk about it. I just think the way they talk
about it can't be I don't know, like almost like
it's a fun, little chatty conversation, Like it's a serious conversation.
If you want to share your experience with me or whatever,
that's fine, But I don't like people talking about it
like it's a like it's a dismissive it wasn't that

(42:45):
big of a deal kind of thing. But if people
are open to talking about it, I don't mind. Yeah,
I'm preparing myself for a lot of That's the thing
that scares me about this special to be quite honest, Yeah, because.

Speaker 5 (42:57):
People are you excited.

Speaker 6 (42:57):
I'm like, I'm actually kind of scared for people to
see it because I don't know what waves of people
coming in and talking about.

Speaker 5 (43:04):
All that stuff it's going to be like. But yeah,
I guess I.

Speaker 3 (43:07):
Think also like we've kind of crossed over a threshold
in society where I feel like there was probably five
years during the like Me Too movement where I felt
like people were a lot more supportive. But I feel
like with the reassertionent reassurgence of like Donald Trump and
stuff with them, you know, Peter Hasef being.

Speaker 4 (43:31):
Promoted in the military, Let's.

Speaker 5 (43:32):
Hate Brothers getting flown back to the America.

Speaker 3 (43:35):
Yes, and one of the Supreme Court justices Kavanaugh. Like,
I feel like people are now on the attack, almost
as opposed to being more of a like, Okay, this
is this person's story and this is their truth, and
we need to be supportive or understanding or at minimum,
we don't know.

Speaker 4 (43:54):
Let's just sit back.

Speaker 3 (43:55):
We don't know what happened, but it feels now like
people are like, attack this person, shut up.

Speaker 4 (44:00):
This does not happen.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
It's you know, so like and I guess you won't
know until the special was out, but even with it
being on YouTube, I feel like there's gonna be a
deluge of that. So how how do you mentally prepared
yourself for that? Or is it even possible to mentally
prepare for that?

Speaker 5 (44:17):
I don't know, man, I think don't read the comments.
That's truth.

Speaker 6 (44:24):
Hire some eighteen year old to read them and sift
out the bad ones or something.

Speaker 5 (44:28):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (44:29):
Turn their notifications off, like no block you block you
block you.

Speaker 6 (44:32):
And that's the problem too, Like there might be it's
probably going to be in bix right of people saying
positive things and talking about that and then probably people
being mean. And I don't want to ignore the people
that are trying to connect with me like that too,
So it is hard to kind of not read the comments.
But I would say read the comments and don't take
the bad ones personal, because hey, random guy on the internet.

Speaker 5 (44:52):
I don't know you know, I.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
Don't know you Yeah, yeah, that's tough, man.

Speaker 4 (44:57):
I definitely.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
We'll have to have you back after it's out to
to just talk about some of the reaction, because I
feel like that, you know that that'll probably be a
story in itself coming out of the special, just because
I think people in the abstract people are kind of
okay dealing with stuff like as a theory, but when
someone's just in your face, like this happened to me,

(45:20):
and this is my story and I'm telling you it,
and it's not like I'm telling you it because it
happened to me last night, like I've processed it somewhat,
But to you, this is new, right, you know, It's
like it's always fresh to people.

Speaker 5 (45:35):
You know.

Speaker 3 (45:35):
It's like when you say, you know, my father passed away.
For me and Karen, it's like your father passed away today,
even though that was years ago. So I'm sure that
you know that has a lot to do with some
of the response that'll come from it as well.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
And with you making the decision to cover a sexual assault.
Was there anybody that stepped in and was like, I
don't think you should cover this, you might make the
audience feel uncomfortable and things like that, because you know,
sometimes particularly when women comedian comedians kind of talk about this,
a lot of times people want to shut it down.
Because I am of the belief that anything could be

(46:12):
funny as long as it's presented in the right manner,
and I'm willing to listen to kind of any types
of jokes.

Speaker 1 (46:19):
And for some people, they have they don't believe that.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
They believe certain topics are not meant to be touched,
they're not meant to be joked. And once you start
tapping on that rail for them instead of them kind
of understanding that you've already processed it like for you,
you're on the other side of it, like right, just
say to them, is brand new and then it happened
to you.

Speaker 3 (46:39):
Yes, your story to do you get you get to
go on stage and paint with that brush.

Speaker 1 (46:45):
Right.

Speaker 2 (46:46):
And some people have like a mental thing where when
it comes to those things, they always see themselves if
it happened to them or you, as a victim, and
they never see it as something you quote unquote maybe
overcame more learned to live with or adjusted your life around.

Speaker 5 (47:04):
No one actually stopped me from saying it.

Speaker 6 (47:06):
I used to kind of do the joke, but I
did it with a very small like I mentioned.

Speaker 5 (47:10):
It, and I have a little, uh like a punchline.
It's really quick.

Speaker 6 (47:15):
And when I was working with my director, we went
through my entire set and then he I do that
little bit and he goes, that's your closer and I
was like what, and he was like, that's the joke
you're gonna end on.

Speaker 5 (47:25):
I'm like, but that's not funny.

Speaker 6 (47:27):
The way I do it kind of funny, and then
I move on. He's like, no, no, you're gonna tell
the story. We're gonna do all the stuff, and then
we're gonna make this be your big closer.

Speaker 5 (47:37):
And I was like, I don't know if I can
do that.

Speaker 6 (47:39):
So people had already heard me kind of dancing around
the joke because I love I love the like punchline
that I added to it. And he was like, no, no,
we're gonna expound on it because I, like I said,
I had written about it, So I sent him this
medium article that I wrote. It's got all the details,
everything's in it, so if you want to read what happened,
you can't.

Speaker 5 (47:56):
Absolutely, I don't care. But I went through it and
I was like, it's going to be hard for me.

Speaker 6 (48:00):
To do it like the way I wrote it, because
it's very serious. And I was like, if there's a
way I can find humor in there to kind of
give the audience a break in myself, then we can
do it that way. So we take the special October
twenty fifth, and that last meeting with him was like
October third, where we kind of worked out where I'd
add some levity into it, and I hadn't practiced it.

Speaker 5 (48:23):
I just did it that night.

Speaker 6 (48:25):
First time the shows, I was just on flash cards
on my walks, running through my whole set and try
to remember where everything went. But once I added some
of the jokes in there, it was a little bit
easier for me to get through it. But I could
tell in the room once I started.

Speaker 5 (48:40):
It got real quiet. Yeah, yeah, and there.

Speaker 6 (48:44):
Was I could tell I was somebody was getting activated
by what I was saying, because I could hear her
in the back of the room, like scraping her nails together,
like this man up here in the sound. I was like, Oh,
someone's somebody's feeling a certain way about what I'm saying.
And sometimes sometimes I think it's good for people to
kind of hear the story and acknowledge that perhaps something
like that happened to them. And I think that's what

(49:08):
probably was happening with quite a few people. Was like, Wow,
this person is talking about a thing that I experienced
and I never even thought about her or I pushed it.

Speaker 5 (49:15):
Down and I didn't acknowledged it her. And I think.

Speaker 6 (49:19):
It's I think it's good for everybody to at least
acknowledge something in themselves, because that impacts everything.

Speaker 5 (49:25):
You do, you know what I mean.

Speaker 6 (49:27):
It's really hard, but I didn't I didn't mind when
it was happening. And even when my friend watched it,
she got an advanced copy of it. She watched it
and she called me crying. She's like, oh my god,
it's so good and that stuff does happen, like you
know what I mean, Like she wasn't even there. But
it translates so much on film too, which is what
I'm really glad that it does.

Speaker 5 (49:47):
But I was never shut down about talking about it.
I definitely wanted to.

Speaker 3 (49:51):
I feel like living in discomfort and working creating in
discomfort is like an underrated skill. But like that honestly
to me anyway, that's part of what activates like the
part of me that wants to be funny or wants
to be good at something. It's like, this is a
difficult thing to express this, This is not as simple

(50:14):
as whatever. Now with the Internet being such a pro
social media specifically being such a prominent like conveyor of
comedy at this point, like so much, I feel like yeah,
like like I feel like every comedian kind of hates it,
but every comedy understands, like, you gotta put the clip out.

Speaker 4 (50:31):
You gotta do some CrowdWork.

Speaker 3 (50:32):
Right with something as like contextual as sexual assault in
your special, do you worry about how that'll play online?
Like is that something that works in a one minute
clip as opposed to something that work in a you know,
in a in a one hour special.

Speaker 6 (50:55):
I don't know how you be able to chop that up.
Because my director was like, you gotta make a fi
men a clip further press kind of condense it. I'm like,
the last the whole sexual assault, it's like fifteen minutes
right then that.

Speaker 5 (51:08):
That's not gonna make it. I'm not making a real
out of that part.

Speaker 6 (51:11):
Maybe these kids can find it I'll let a kid
be inspired by it and chop it up and they
can post it and take credit for whatever.

Speaker 5 (51:16):
But I'm not. I couldn't find them.

Speaker 6 (51:19):
I couldn't find the right places to cut to make
it be less than a minute.

Speaker 5 (51:22):
Or even two minutes.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
It's hard job.

Speaker 6 (51:25):
It's too much going on because I'm telling the story
from you know, when I met this person and when
the assult happened. It was over a course of like
a month, so I'm trying to condense and I didn't
even tell all of it. Still it was like, well,
you know, people I thought were my friends didn't believe me,
and I'm about their friends anymore even.

Speaker 5 (51:40):
Now, you know what I mean.

Speaker 6 (51:41):
Like, it's a lot of stuff that I didn't even
put in there, and trying to condense all those different
elements until like a two minute clip online. I'm not
even thinking about putting that as part of it. The
clips that I have are all fun dick jokes and
hype jokes and whatever and dead dad jokes.

Speaker 5 (51:58):
You can. That'll be as far as you see.

Speaker 6 (52:00):
But I hope that people do get to the end
and go, wow, this was powerful, and maybe I just
use that one clip as like a big clip, you.

Speaker 5 (52:07):
Know, just a separate kind of thing by itself.

Speaker 6 (52:10):
Maybe, but yeah, I don't know how you be able
to condense all that stuff into Yeah.

Speaker 3 (52:14):
I always think about that because like the comedian's job
now is like two fold. It's like what happens in
the room is only a small part of being a
comedian now used to be the biggest fucking part.

Speaker 4 (52:24):
Like you show up, you're there.

Speaker 3 (52:26):
For a specific amount of time, you see everything in
the context is presented to you in and then you
walk out. And the word of mouth was the thing.
It's like I go tell people like, yo, you gotta
go see Shanna Christmas man you. But now I feel
like it's like did you see the forty five second
clip where you know the heckler said such and such?

Speaker 4 (52:45):
And I know there's got to be a lot of pressure.

Speaker 3 (52:48):
And I mean you've been doing it twelve years, so
you've seen the game change over that period of time.

Speaker 6 (52:54):
It's so weird too, because you're watching it change, but
it's only benefiting certain people. Right, So not only are
you like, oh, post the clips I do, right, the
algorithms not showing them to you. I don't are you
searching for black lady comedians at all, Like, are you
gonna watch a clip of Dan soher and then see
me next? Or is that they're going to give you

(53:14):
more white dudes after that? So I have to already
kind of want to see somebody like me doing comedy
to kind of see more of that in your feed.
So you're fighting against a lot of different elements outside
of like my clips are funny, right, it'll get like
there's a clip that I posted that was hilarious and
it was I think it had like forty shares, but

(53:35):
only like eight hundred views.

Speaker 5 (53:37):
And I was so confused by that because it does
it make sense?

Speaker 4 (53:40):
Right?

Speaker 5 (53:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (53:41):
Forty people scent it somewhere right? Yea less than a
thousand views, and it makes any sense to me.

Speaker 5 (53:48):
I'm like, are you suppressing? I don't get how that works.
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (53:52):
And so you're fighting against a lot of stuff that
you can't even control, and you're doing the things you're promoting.

Speaker 5 (53:58):
You're doing, I mean, what else am I suppose?

Speaker 6 (54:00):
I don't even know how you tap into it unless
they're looking for comedians like you.

Speaker 5 (54:06):
Yes, I rarely see black women pop up in my feeds,
and I'm a black woman.

Speaker 4 (54:10):
Right, Nah, I feel you on that.

Speaker 3 (54:11):
I definitely think like it's the algorithm definitely tells you stuff.
I actually wonder now you're making me think, like on
the creative side, do they not even account for that?
Like I wonder like if so if I watch like
Josh Johnson and they're like, here's a black person doing
like social media commentary, do they like then go uh here,

(54:33):
go find him another black person or did they just
go find him take black out, find another person talking
about politics? Yeah, it just never really slides you into
like this the black ben diagram circle. So yeah, that
makes sense because I figure, like what our podcast is
kind of like that, Like we have black in the title,
talk about a bunch of black shit, and we talk

(54:55):
about politics and stuff a lot too. But like every
once in a while we'll get feed you know, something
like Best of the Left or something like that. But
in general, you won't see us in a feed with
like here's all the black politically, here's all the political
podcasts and they're just talking politics. You won't you want
to ever see us there. So yeah, you made me
think about that.

Speaker 4 (55:15):
I bet you. That's a huge part of it.

Speaker 6 (55:18):
And it's frustrating when someone's like, well just post your clips, bitch,
I do right.

Speaker 1 (55:22):
Right, everybody does. No one knows what the job is.

Speaker 3 (55:25):
They just be trying to help, but it is it
is such a blessed shout up from being to from us,
being from the South.

Speaker 4 (55:30):
It's such a bless your heart ass like I know
you want to help.

Speaker 1 (55:34):
I know you, but but you're not helping.

Speaker 2 (55:37):
And the thing is, for some people, they don't realize that, yes,
you see a face, but it is literally a team.
You got a PR team, you got an advertising team.
You know, you have a budget team like like yeah
for some of these people that you see, yeah, like
and a lot of times they pay to push this
ship up on like the charts and all this stuff,

(55:58):
like and it's different.

Speaker 4 (56:00):
That's actually the real fuck up you are.

Speaker 3 (56:02):
That's actually the real fucked up part is that when
we first started that shit was free. Yes, So like
if we put something on Facebook for our Facebook page,
literally everybody that followed our Facebook page would see it,
Yes they would, and they'd just be like, oh yeah,
now you see community this all the time. Some fan
of reply to one of your videos and they're like,
oh man, I thought you had stop doing common It's like,

(56:24):
what the fuck you follow me? Why want it just
show you what you clicked? You clicked on this, they're not,
I'm not forcing it on you. But if I would
have paid that whatever that advertising fee is or to
get the check mark, then all of a sudden, oh wow,
everyone can see that.

Speaker 4 (56:41):
I am still funny thing.

Speaker 2 (56:43):
Even with your paying particket on face, but you're still
not guaranteed that everybody click that button we'll see it.

Speaker 1 (56:48):
So it's like, why am I paying not funny? Why
am I paying this fee?

Speaker 2 (56:51):
And like, let's say we had five thousand people, you
might push that up to two thousand, so it's like
I still got another three They never seen this, all.

Speaker 5 (57:00):
Right, It's really frustrating, it is.

Speaker 4 (57:03):
It's the worst. I'm glad we were able to like
complain together about it.

Speaker 1 (57:07):
Yay.

Speaker 5 (57:07):
I love complaining.

Speaker 1 (57:08):
By the way.

Speaker 6 (57:10):
People are like I can't complain, I'm like you can't,
Well I can, and.

Speaker 1 (57:15):
I'm going to here's my list right now.

Speaker 3 (57:21):
Also, like being a comedian, have you had to like
move around to like pursue this this this job, Like
I feel like you have to almost be mobile now
to even you know, pursue stand up.

Speaker 6 (57:35):
I've actually been a vagabond for a while, even before
I started comedy, because I just like bouncing around because
I get to travel for work, you know, and they
have travel nurses and stuff like that. So I'm a
traveling therapist. I pick different places. And then when I
started doing comedy, I was like, oh, I can work
and do comedy. So when we pick scenes that I
can kind of live in for a little bit, do
all the things and then meet people and then I

(57:55):
can go to the next place. So I actually just
got back to Vegas a month ago, from like ten
years really of being in and out of town. I
was just in the Bay Area earlier this year. I
was in Palm Springs, I was in La I was
in New York, Seattle. I've been all over placed, New Mexico, Texas, Pennsylvania.

Speaker 5 (58:12):
So it's I.

Speaker 6 (58:14):
Think I'm very lucky that I have a job that
I can do both with and so the moving around
part to me is more fun than like I kind
of have to do it. It's like, Oh, I wonder
what people are doing in this random town in New Mexico,
and are there strippers?

Speaker 5 (58:28):
And guess what there are? I found them. We had
a great time.

Speaker 4 (58:32):
Aren't they always wherever we go?

Speaker 6 (58:35):
There?

Speaker 4 (58:35):
They're probably strippers in New Mexico.

Speaker 1 (58:37):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (58:40):
Yeah, there's probably Everywherebody come out and like, I don't
know why I'm making them amish, but.

Speaker 7 (58:47):
Just in my head, my head, yeah, but they got
like that little house on the prairie look, and then
they'd like like asking what them dollars?

Speaker 6 (59:05):
At?

Speaker 1 (59:05):
All across the country.

Speaker 4 (59:07):
She's about to churn somebody, fellas, get your mond out.

Speaker 7 (59:11):
Yes, Karen, I don't mean I didn't even cut you off.

Speaker 2 (59:16):
I'm sorry you All across this country there's always a stripping,
always somebody willing to toss them dollars.

Speaker 4 (59:24):
So what what are you thinking about?

Speaker 3 (59:26):
And I know everyone hates this question, but it feels
like a mandatory question.

Speaker 4 (59:30):
But what do you think about next?

Speaker 3 (59:31):
For like, I know you just this is like you
just got done finishing a marathon and I'm like, so
you ready for another twenty six k or whatever? But
is that even a thought of like what's next?

Speaker 6 (59:45):
You know? Oh yeah, I actually have a comic book
that I based off of my day job, and I
usually sell.

Speaker 5 (59:51):
Them at shows.

Speaker 6 (59:52):
And I met with somebody who worked at Paramount, and
she was like, let's talk about making this into an
animated show. For me is turning this comic book into
a TV show and learning how to write one because
I don't.

Speaker 5 (01:00:05):
Know what I'm doing. Yes, maybe you can help.

Speaker 4 (01:00:09):
You know what's funny?

Speaker 2 (01:00:10):
Man?

Speaker 4 (01:00:11):
You know one's funny.

Speaker 3 (01:00:12):
I'm in a very very similar boat right now. I
don't know how much I can talk about what I'm
working on, writing a thing that I've never tried to
write before and learning the ropes and being like, oh,
that's how that has.

Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
Gone for everyone else who's ever done this.

Speaker 3 (01:00:31):
Okay, so it's a learning curve maybe if you know,
I'm a long way away from being able to help anybody,
but hopefully, hopefully I'll be able to.

Speaker 4 (01:00:40):
One day knock on wood.

Speaker 3 (01:00:42):
But that's yeah, that's cool. I'm glad to hear you.
You know, you still got stuff in the fire for that.
Have you not started a podcast yet? I feel like
that's the other thing comedians are always forced.

Speaker 1 (01:00:53):
To do a lot of times the audience.

Speaker 5 (01:00:56):
I do not want to do a podcast. I don't.

Speaker 4 (01:00:59):
I do not.

Speaker 6 (01:01:00):
If I didn't have to go to work, then yes,
But when I'm at work and it's so mentally exhausting
because you're running around, there's people crying.

Speaker 5 (01:01:09):
Somebody fail, somebody feil it on the floor on Friday.
On Friday, Okay, I don't want to I'm ready to
go home, and I'm walking past the patient's room. He's
on the floor. Now, I got to go pick you up?
What happened?

Speaker 1 (01:01:20):
How did you get here?

Speaker 5 (01:01:22):
Right? Exactly?

Speaker 1 (01:01:23):
I got questions.

Speaker 6 (01:01:24):
I don't know, he's confused, clearly, what do you? And
so dealing with all of these things at work my brain,
I just want to come home and not talk to
anybody and not think about nothing. So for me to
do all that work and then I'll figure out how
to go to the gym and eat healthy.

Speaker 5 (01:01:41):
A podcast sounds like.

Speaker 6 (01:01:44):
I'm stressed. I don't even thinking about it right now.
I'm like, where would I sit?

Speaker 5 (01:01:50):
Right? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:01:50):
What kind of microphone would I have to use? Do
I have to learn how to edit this?

Speaker 5 (01:01:56):
Oh? I can't.

Speaker 3 (01:01:57):
I do feel like also like all podcast now are
starting to blend it to the same thing, where like,
no matter who's hosting, it's just turning into relationship talk.

Speaker 4 (01:02:06):
And I'm like, why is this happening?

Speaker 1 (01:02:08):
Why is this.

Speaker 3 (01:02:09):
Happening, Michelle Obama, be talking about relationships. You're Michelle Obama.
Don't be talking. Don't pick up the podcast mics and
do the same shit these other motherfuckers are doing.

a podcast.

Speaker 4 (01:02:50):

the mental steps to how people end up talking about relationships.

talk about those podcasts?

Yeah, you know what, that's a good idea.

Speaker 3 (01:03:45):
That's actually that's actually a good idea to write that down.

Speaker 2 (01:03:50):
I repressed plate back to that ship. You would keep
me up to what they doing because I don't listen.

Speaker 1 (01:04:58):
I think you.

Speaker 3 (01:04:58):
I think they sit po podcast mics in an empty
room and just whoever wonders in, they just immediately are
drawn to the mic like a moth to a fire,
and then they can't help but just start talking bad
about women.

Speaker 4 (01:05:13):
It's just it's like that you just stumble in and
be like, what.

This is?

Speaker 4 (01:05:19):

problem is?

Speaker 1 (01:05:21):
Like, whoa, I can help myself, y'all. They just shocked
shocked the mics on.

Speaker 5 (01:05:27):

right song, You get everybody on your team.

They anti Santa Claus, but they worked just like them.
Ship just appear.

Speaker 4 (01:07:50):
I feel like you. I don't like what happened.

Speaker 3 (01:07:52):
That's what happened, Joe, Butden walked out the house. He
walked in the house. It was milk crazy outside. He
walked outside of the eyes it was Mike's and then
they thing, you know, we was, we was people was
arguing about flat earths and.

Speaker 1 (01:08:04):
Baby, it was you know, it was mission impossible. They
put the milk crates down.

Speaker 2 (01:08:11):
They was like, if you choose to accept this, it's
gonna discipline.

Speaker 1 (01:08:15):
Turn to a microphone.

Speaker 2 (01:08:16):
They said, I accept and the milk crates disappeared, and.

Speaker 1 (01:08:19):
The microphone ship popped up. It didn't blow up. Something
else disappeared.

Speaker 3 (01:08:23):
Oh man, all right, listen, listen. We kept we kept
shining over the time.

Speaker 5 (01:08:28):
That we have.

Speaker 1 (01:08:28):
Baby, I'm so sorry.

Speaker 5 (01:08:30):
We got we got well.

Speaker 3 (01:08:33):
We said, I told the public is an hour and
so I know, we went a little bit over.

Speaker 4 (01:08:38):
We were having too good of a time.

Speaker 3 (01:08:41):
You gotta come back after the specials out and we
get some responses to it and see how that's.

Speaker 4 (01:08:45):
Going with you.

Speaker 1 (01:08:46):
Yeah, come back and play some games with us. That'll
be fun.

Speaker 3 (01:08:48):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Normally we have a bunch of segments
and jokes and ship. But you know, normally when we
have a new person and we try to interview them
and stuff before, you know, getting them into the bullshit,
Well you gotta come back and do the bullshit with
us next time. It won't be as long as interview. Absolutely,

(01:09:09):
tell everybody where to get the special and when it's
coming out.

Speaker 5 (01:09:14):
It's gonna be on May twentieth on YouTube.

Speaker 6 (01:09:16):
And I believe Amazon Pride, but I would prefer if
you guys watch it on YouTube because it is an
independently released project. I put my money into it, and
I need people to watch it more than having some
stupid little label on the bottom of the screen saying
it's on some network. So I think it's a good one.
You should watch it, and on May twentieth you can.

Speaker 3 (01:09:34):
And yeah, I'll make sure to put the link to
the special in the show notes. If you're in the
chat right now, the link is in the chat as well. Uh,
subscribe save it, you know that way you get that alert,
you know. Yeah, So it's like Boom the twentieth. We
all hit and play and yeah, man, I just think
it's super dope what you're doing. I think, you know,

(01:09:56):
I know, it's a cliche thing, but I actually think
it's very brain to talk about something like that on
stage in front of people. Most people's fears public speaking,
and that's when they ain't got ship to say. So
you know, I'm like, you're really doing this, so you
are sweet, appreciate you coming on.

Speaker 5 (01:10:13):
And yeah, we'll have to have you back.

Speaker 1 (01:10:15):
It has been fun.

Speaker 3 (01:10:16):
Everybody else I know y'all. I know everybody in the
chat was probably like, y'all about to talk about the
Kendrick and sis A concert. Yes, tomorrow, we'll talk about
that tomorrow. It was a crazy night, Uh it was.
It was all over the place, and we'll get into
that throughout the rest of the week.

Speaker 4 (01:10:35):
Until next time. I love you, Cly
