Speaker 2 (10:57):
Okny't here it's the next one perfect man with bad
sex or a stressfold relationship with great sex.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
What was the first one?

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Perfect man with bad sex? I mean bad like bad
man all right? Or a stressful relationship but the sex
is amazing.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
I think I could take a perfect man with bad sex.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (11:17):
So at the end of the day, I know how
to do stuff myself. I just do.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
I know how to do.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
I know exactly what to do myself. But he is
a good man, and you know, I know how to
fake some stuff and then once you leave, I can do.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Can you think you have to fake it though, because
if you fake it, he'll never know he's doing it wrong.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
I mean, you could talk to him, but usually if
you're a bad man, it's kind of hard to change that,
especially if you you know, I'm not looking at If
I was dating a twenty year old, then maybe I
could guide him into where he needs to go and
where he needs to be. But I ain't dating no
twenty year old, right, so probably the man at the
age and I'm dating it didn't be bad a long time.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Has ever been in a situation where the sex was
terrible but you stayed for a while.

Speaker 4 (11:53):
Oh no, I didn't say no. Yeah, but I've been
in this situation. I was like, oh my gosh, there's
no way this can continue.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
And it didn't.

Speaker 5 (12:01):
Did you make up an excuse or you told him I.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
Just ain't call no more. I just ain't call no more.

Speaker 4 (12:05):
But I also, you know, and my age is like,
sex is not as big a deal as it was.
There was a time when I was younger and that's
all I thought about. But now at this age, I'm
thinking about how can I advance. I got a plan
for my future, for my son's future. I want to
buy property. So sex is like and I'm tired after
going to the gym, so it's like here we go masturbate, sleep,

(12:26):
masturbate and sleep.

Speaker 7 (12:28):
Use it.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
I'm asleep right, so you know, you know difference.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
At least you have your son, so you're not even
thinking about like, okay, I gotta you know, that is
kind of the time when you're not having to worry
about like family planning.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
So yeah, you can be frivolous.

Speaker 4 (12:42):
I mean there are times when I am like there's
times when I somebody, I'll be like, oh, what's that
feeling down?

Speaker 3 (12:47):
You know what's going on? So you know it's still there, okay,
but it's so many other things.

Speaker 4 (12:52):
So I could deal with it if I but a
good man, that's a little bit harder. That's how the
fact he a good man and he.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Wanted to say a good man and hard to find,
and a hard man is good to find.

Speaker 4 (13:02):
That's easy to find. I think you know good sex.
Let me tell you you can find good sex because
the ones that usually ain't got no job, they're the
ones that got They are awesome in bed.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
They will turn you behind.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
And they know they have to overcompensate absolutely, and they
need a place to stay.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
They need a place to say. And now you be
screaming in Holland.

Speaker 4 (13:18):
But a good man who like adores you, who has
stuff written for you and food waiting for you when
you get home, and he cares about you, and you're
that's hard to find.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
Okay, I might cheat, but that's the problem.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Now there you go.

We were talking about that.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
We were Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
I was saying, it's just like a business arrangement, right,
you get an operating agreement just in case it doesn't work.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
We know what the arrangement is, so we can separate.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
A lot of people say, especially women, you know it
sets it up for failure. You plan in seeds of negativity.
But I was married with the prenup and without a prenup.
Without the prenup, I lost everything. My house that I
had saved up and bought so much money went to
the attorneys that was supposed to go into my son's mouth.
And with the prenup, it was I didn't lose my house.

(17:21):
I didn't lose that kind of stuff. Because, yeah, a
prenup is just like that. It's like you have a
car insurance. You don't expect to get into an accident.
You can control you, but you can't control everybody around you.
That's why your insurance. You have a burglar alarm. You
don't expect for anybody to break in, but when it's there.
And so when you do a prenup, a prenup says
everything that you have worked for is still yours. Because

(17:42):
if you don't have a prenup, he can take the
money that you were supposed to use for your parents,
if you have to take care of your parents, if
you got to take care of your child's education. A
prenup can say, if we have kids, you can't move
out of the state.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
Wow, you can. So whatever you want.

Speaker 4 (17:56):
You're so specific, you do it and get it out
of the way.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
You think about it until you may need it.

Speaker 4 (18:02):
And if you look at the statistics, because the first one,
when I didn't do a prenup, I was like, but
the Bible say, and the statistics are a lot of
marriages end up in divorces.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
It's nothing to be better, but when no one intends
for that when they get married.

Speaker 4 (18:16):
But divorce gets ugly, it gets so, it gets so ugly.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
And when it does, it's nice to.

Speaker 4 (18:22):
Be able to pull out a document for a document
and say this is what we have agreed to.

Speaker 3 (18:27):
It is a legal contract.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
Because then you end up, like you said, paying the attorneys.

Speaker 4 (18:33):
Say it's the attorneys that they made Yeah, yeah, yeah,
just I was just telling my publicists just being in
debt because of a big, two big, very publicized divorces
and being in debt to you know, the I R
s because I had to not I couldn't pay my
taxes because I had to pay so much money to
the attorneys. They make out like fat I was whenever

(18:54):
my attorney Connor was like, hey girl.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
Just checking out.

Speaker 4 (18:56):
You know that's too much money, don't you don't know me?
Don't check on me because hello, me is five hundred dollars.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Right, yeah, then you get the bill, you're like, when
did I do this?

Speaker 3 (19:05):
When did you?

Speaker 4 (19:05):
And they get their money? So, yes, divorce is very
very expensive. Please get a prenup, ladies.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
Right. That was a great ad for that.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
I'm pro pre nup.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
And we also were talking about this, right Jasmine and
I before you came in here, you're jail stint in
the hell, yeah, because we were like, I don't know
if I can live that long.

Speaker 4 (19:30):
Y'all look at you and y'all cute with all the hair,
look at all. Yeah, guys, do you know how to
fight this?

Speaker 6 (19:35):
You know, I'm okay, but I don't want to have to fight
every night, like I don't want to know.

Speaker 4 (19:40):
Yeah, that was that was the biggest thing, because it
was like being in jail for the eight or ten
days I was there. It's so many different women who
were there, and you know, I'm I'm like the shy
girl who was Jehovah's witness. And they stole u. They
stole my underwear. They did, because you get it. When
they give you your stuff, they give you like one

(20:01):
little moon move, they give you a packet of deodor
and they give you that little black up Dan drift
cone and a packet and.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
That's all you get. You get some Kleenex and that's it.

Speaker 5 (20:10):
Did you have a wig when you were in there?

Speaker 3 (20:11):
Or girl? No, no, they take all that you don't
know you go. So it was my natural hair. I
just started. I was just doing comedy, so I wasn't
wearing wigs.

Speaker 4 (20:18):
But what happened was you get one pair of underwear
and you have to wash them every night, and you
came over your bunk bed to dry, air dry, and
when I woke up, they were gone, and oh my god,
they were just gone. I was like, and you sit
there and go, I know, put these panties on there
to dry. And so it was women around me who
was like they'd be itching for a fight. And I
don't remember the lady's name. I'm gonna call a big

(20:38):
Mama because it was something crazy like that. And it
was like big Mama took your panty and I was like,
oh my gosh.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
It was like you have to fight big Mama.

Speaker 4 (20:44):
And I know it was a big old lady laughing
like she was huge and it was and I was like,
I don't want to fight, but you can't say you
don't want to fight, because that's worse.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
And then so the little bit her name was a
little Bit, she took me over there.

Speaker 4 (20:56):
She was like, they go, your panties has two pairs
of underwear lay on on the thing and I said
the big Mama was.

Speaker 3 (21:01):
Like, did you see extra pair of pant And she.

Speaker 4 (21:04):
Was like, na, bitch, I ain't seen nothing. And I
was like, oh my god, I gotta fight this lady.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 4 (21:09):
Happened The security guards came in because it was another
fight that broke out at the same time. That's how
much God loved me, because that lady would have whooped
my She was huge, and I when she just sat
there and she was like, I ain't see nothing, bitch,
and I'm like okay. And then I went the whole time.

Speaker 3 (21:25):
I had to go to all of the courts. I
don't have no underworld saying.

Speaker 4 (21:28):
You get on that bus, sirl You've seen that prison
bus that go on freeway when you driving. They put
me on there and they chained me up, and they
changed and they put the.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
Women in the front, and then it was a big
old cage and in.

Speaker 4 (21:39):
The back was a bunch of men who were chained up,
and I was the last one. So they was all
whispering nasty stuff.

Speaker 6 (21:45):
It was like.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Gonna cut you.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
It was even nastier than that.

Speaker 4 (21:50):
It was like like horrible, like the silence of the lamb.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
So let me cut you, eat you, eat you up
and put it all out.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
Did it up?

Speaker 3 (21:59):
I mean it was, And I'm.

Speaker 4 (22:01):
Chained up like dog going out and kill twelve people
and I'm crying silently. And then with the thing that
hurt my feelings the most is as I had to
go to different courts every day on this bus with
all of these crazy men, and I'm like, if this
bus hit a bump and we and we like you
be thinking all in movies, and we tumble over and
the guards driving they get killed whatever, and these people

(22:22):
get these men get off this cage and I'm all
chained une, oh my gosh. And so I but I
tried to look up on the expressway and look at
people in their cars to let them know I'm really
a nice girl.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
I'm a legal secretary. Help me. But everybody drive, they
don't look at you.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
That's right, and you feel like not seen.

Speaker 4 (22:41):
That's why I tell people, if y'all see people in jail,
at least get them eye contacts.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
Because I would think they don't want you to look
at it like they do.

Speaker 3 (22:49):
You feel like nobody cares, like, like you're not huge.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
Okay, that's that's good advice.

Speaker 4 (22:54):
And if it's men, pop your showed me boob, like
if you drive, that's so funny.

Speaker 5 (22:57):
What's last question about their jail stent? What was the food?

Speaker 3 (23:01):
Like?

Speaker 4 (23:01):
What did you horrible? I was making people laugh when
we first got in there. After they make you hold
up your breast and you have to squat and you
have to cough. They're gonna make sure a para fernilia
is not your butt and your brown booty hole angela.
So after that, I was making people laugh because I
was so nervous about being in jail and not knowing
what to expect. And one of the guards got mad
at me and made me stand in the corner, so

(23:22):
I didn't have no dinner. So breakfast they set me down.
They were still upset with me. They gave me blooney.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
It was so moldy.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
It was so moldy, and baloney's already bad without mode,
without the mind.

Speaker 4 (23:33):
But I was looking at that blooney and I was like,
I can't eat this, and I didn't eat it, and
I have nothing.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
I was so hungry.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
And then one girl she had her ludicrous braids all
over her head, and she came to sit next to me.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
I was so and I was so depressed.

Speaker 4 (23:46):
When nobody talked to mem I was lonely, and it
was this dude with the ludicrous braids. I didn't know
it was a woman. I thought it was a dude.
And so I'm gonna say he. He came and sat
next to me. He was like, are you hungry? And
I started crying. I was like, I'm so hungry, eat nothing.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
He's t I'm gonna go get you a candy bar.

Speaker 4 (24:00):
And so when he walked out, a shade who was
next to me, another woman who would beat up somebody
who took a drug. She was in there and she
had her hands behind her head.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
She was laying on a bed.

Speaker 4 (24:10):
She was like, if you take that candy bar, you're
gonna be You're gonna be eating the P word tonight.
And I went, oh my god, that's a woman.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
I thought it wasn't mad at that.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
And then he came. She came back and I said,
I didn't know. I don't want to eat you with.
I just it was I was hungry and I just
wanted the candy bar.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
I did not know that rule be yes, give me
a candy bar.

Speaker 5 (24:31):
Yeah, he goes, what after you said.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
Oh. He was like, he said, if you bitch, and
then got up and I was like, I'm not a
Bitch's really.

Speaker 4 (24:39):
Nice and he But later it was a real pretty girl,
like real pretty. I remember she came in and she
was cursing her out and during the middle of the night,
that same one who was gonna give me the candy
bar got up and bopped her in the mouth, broke
all her teeth out.

Speaker 5 (24:55):
You know how hard you gotta hit somebody.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
You know how hard you gotta hit somebody with them
ludicris praise. Yeah, I was like, she should have took
that candy bar.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
And all this happened within eight days.

Speaker 5 (25:04):
Yeah, I had a lot for eighty That's why I.

Speaker 3 (25:06):
Paid my bills.

Speaker 4 (25:07):
It's just so funny when I said, when I said
at the barber, when I go, yeah, I was in jail,
she'd be like, what dear, who did I hire?

Speaker 7 (25:15):
Deal?

Speaker 1 (25:15):
Because there was some tickets, right, But.

Speaker 4 (25:18):
When you get when you get moving violations, if you
don't show up in court, they'd become traffic warrans.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
I mean, come on, that's ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (25:25):
That no in traffic warrants and they can give you
a bench worn for a dollar to ten thousand dollars,
so I had four of them and my whole thing
was maybe ten to twelve grand. So I had to
go to each court every day and that was time served.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
So that's why it was so long. It was time
I got it, hay off.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
They could have just garnished your wages. I mean, I
don't know.

Speaker 4 (25:48):
And there it's either time serve or you pay it
off right then.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
And it's still like it like that now, yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
Still like that now.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
I think that's.

Speaker 3 (25:55):
Branda closed down. But you know, you have to go
to other jails.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
But like you got to be involved in the TEP
criminal justice reform for us.

Speaker 5 (26:01):
You need to get your on.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
A baby lawyer.

Speaker 5 (26:08):
Degree at an infant lawyer.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
But and we also want to tell you congratulations on
the show just being renewed for another two years.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
That is no small feet, you know.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
I think it's hard, like even you coming from a
cast like you did, from the view to having your
own situation, Like I know, I came from the breakfast
club and I have my own show now and so
now everything is on you.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
So what is that?

Speaker 4 (26:32):
Like you, it's I did not know how hard that
was because on the view, I had four you know
women on the side of me, and everything that I
do is what Barbara Walters did. I just had to
come and sit at the table and be funny and
we interviewed the guests. Barbara was the one that met
with the affiliates every weekend. Every week I go out
and meet affiliates that carry my show and I'm I'm

(26:53):
clear to ninety eight percent of the country. So I
have to go to Saint Louis and thank you. I
got to go in and you know, do the weather
with the local you know talent. I have to you know,
sit and talk. I have to hold babies.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
I gotta eat the ice cream at the local ice
cream maker.

Speaker 4 (27:08):
And I got it because you want It's always about
time slots and you these affiliates determine what time they're
gonna put you on one in the morning or ten
in the morning, and if they're gonna air you a
second time. So you have to make all of your
affiliates happy.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
Yes, I know that feeling.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
Yes, you have to go and meet and that's people.

Speaker 6 (27:25):
You have to be likable, not just in front of
your audience, but also to these affiliates.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
The affiliation to the advertising.

Speaker 4 (27:31):
The advertising that matters, not if somebody's advertising on your show,
you gotta If they are having to get together and
they want you to meet their clients, you have to go.
And yes, it is important to be likable because if
advertisers the name of the game people don't understand talks
your radio. These advertisers are important because your show will
not be on the air without them, and so you
have to My brand is joy, so I have to

(27:52):
smile a lot.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
Yeah, you think every time I want to take a
picture with it, and I'm like, it's covid cod I
just bleeve the blood of Jesus. But you know it.

Speaker 4 (28:00):
So I have to do all of this myself. Oprah
Winfrey said to me when she was giving me advice.
She said, Sherry, you get the glory, but you also
get it if it goes down, because they won't say
to you, oh, that was a horrible producer who produced
that segment, that it's all on you. So people don't
understand when I'm about business. I'm very serious about the
business of being funny. So people get the joy joy

(28:21):
joys shary. But behind the scenes, I'm tough as nails.
Because if I mess up your name, they're not saying
that the producer gave me your name wrong. They're gonna
share you don do your research. That's what I'm relying
on you for.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
So that's why it's hard for me to rely on
notes from people if I don't do the research to myself,
because sometimes it's wrong and you're like damn, and then
you look like you look crazy.

Speaker 4 (28:43):
Right, oh, lean Away said to me, but this was
my fault. It wasn't a producer. I just be forgetting
stuff like even you know, and I don't use cards.
So I talked to them with because I wanted it
to be really really But then that means I forget
a lot of stuff or I'll see it on the
prompt and I'll get it wrong. And I said to
Lena because when they had the pre mirror of the
movie that Tiana Taylor was.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
In for A thousand and one thousand and one.

Speaker 4 (29:05):
They had it at the Magic Johnson and all I
saw was, uh, you know, premiere, And so I said, Lena, this,
y'all had it at the world famous Apollo Girl, how
was that having the premiere at the world famous amount?
And she was like, you always get stuff messed up
chry and I was sitting here going what I do now?
She said, we was never at the apollogy at the

(29:25):
Magic Johnson Theater.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
And I got what real girl I was. I was mortified.
She said, you don't never be kidding that couldn't work stuff.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
But you know, but that's part of like, if that's
part of your personality, you can make it.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
You know, you only get like three times into that.
You go, what, but wow, people are like look cheery.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
Like get the note cut, get their cards.

Speaker 4 (29:47):
Stop trying to be like them waiters that don't you
know them waiters They won't write your minsions that the
order down and they always get it wrong.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
So yes, just even you having your own being able
to make your own segments right that really show your
personality and having like a segment for comedians. I have
one up here too because I'm not a comedian, but
I love and support stand up comics so much, and
so we've had, you know, we had I know, you
just had Country way on.

Speaker 4 (30:11):
He understands the assign Yeah, that country, my god. You
know it is nice because you appreciate comics. For me
being a comic, I know how hard it was to
get booked on TV shows. It's it's extremely difficult if
you're not a big name. And I really wanted to
showcase comics that you know, can't necessarily sit on the couch,
and that was something I had to fight for.

Speaker 3 (30:32):
But I'm a comic and I know how that is.

Speaker 4 (30:34):
So to be able to sit and give you know,
a platform to comedians. And I'm hoping that somebody's watching,
going I like you, I'm gonna use country wadness. I
love that country way, and I wonder if he's available
for a sitcom or something and be able to call
them in to give women this platform.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
It makes me so happy.

Speaker 4 (30:52):
I don't like it when I put you on there
and you don't do well, and I'm like, okay, wait, bitch.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
What happened? I said, you can't not on my show.
You can't have an off day when you're on TV.
That's your What is not fifty?

Speaker 4 (31:06):
Who's the one that did six Miles to the White
Boys the wrong? Let me tell y'all who listen. I
guarantee y'all, y'all hit the fifties. You ain't gonna be remembering.
He said, you get one shot when you get on TV,
you gotta get ready, lose yourself. So when you get on,
when you get on TV and you get on a
big platform, you don't have an off day. You're not

(31:29):
allowed to have an off day. You better be ready
because if you're called, you better be ready. You better
if you're a comic, you better get on this show
and kill because if you have an off day, it's
gonna be very hard to get back on any Ye.

Speaker 5 (31:42):
I see people and I'm like, I guess they won't
be on again. Like that's exactly that.

Speaker 6 (31:45):
Yeah, so yeah, do you give them a do you
give them like a little pep talk or anything or
just what you do you do?

Speaker 4 (31:50):
I tell them, I said, just breathe, just breathe. You
have this opportunity, You've trained for this, you're ready for this.
You don't get out there and choke. And I don't
say that, but I'm just praying and I will say
a prayer with them.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
Because you know, you got embarrassed for people. Yeah, yeah,
it's embarrassing and somebody's messing up.

Speaker 4 (32:07):
And that's also un me because this is a segment
that wasn't a fan of and so it's like, this
is a new show. So you don't want the audience
to go well, you know, it's a hit or miss.
With with the comics, you have to be amazing. So
when people get on their country way and got on
the bill, Bellamy came and rocked to Steve Harvey.

Speaker 3 (32:25):
Those are the names.

Speaker 4 (32:25):
But then there was a lot of comics that came
and they were so wonderful. That is the level that
you have to be on. This is not an Oakie
dope show.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
So a lot of my friends think, girl, you just
got that talk show. Can you put me on? No?

Speaker 4 (32:36):
No, because you I have one girlfriend. She curses all
the time on stage. Everything she does is and it's nasty.
And she goes you, when you're gonna put me on
your laugh lamps?

Speaker 3 (32:47):
How about never?

Speaker 4 (32:48):
Because I've never seen you do clean? And she goes,
you know when I get on, now, I'm gonna do clean?

Speaker 3 (32:53):
No, I don't know. And I cannot afford. We are
a small production.

Speaker 4 (32:57):
I cannot afford for you to go and do MF
and do something and then they have to push that
button we have to pay for because you won't be
back and you won't see that segment again. And all
you can do is say to me is I'm sorry, Yeah, do.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
You have plans to make that into something like a
standalone thing like a series where maybe you're introducing I was.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
I love that.

Speaker 4 (33:18):
I would love to bring comics on and work out
like a Netflix stick exactly on my show Absolute. I'm
always thinking forward where you can come on the show
and then you know, you get you know, have a
Netflix deal. There's been a couple people on there. I'm like,
can we talk to you further about producing something for you?

Speaker 3 (33:34):
Right?

Speaker 4 (33:34):
You know, you were so like amazing, you need your
own show, And I love that I have that platform
now that I can get in front of people and
say these these people are amazing.

Speaker 3 (33:45):
You have to see them. This is the idea that
I have for them.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
See this is great because you talked about being in
your fifties now and sometimes and you are just like
really getting started with all of this. And that's amazing
because sometimes people feel like, man, you know because for
me like just getting studied with what I'm doing also,
but you still have like so much time in front
of you.

Speaker 4 (34:04):
That yes, it's the way you look at it, like
Bevy Smith says, it gets greater later, like it's been
a lot happening for me up until this point. But
now things are like it's a it's like now things
are coming to fruition. I wasn't able to do for
other people.

Speaker 3 (34:20):
Earlier it was just about me trying to get my thing.

Speaker 4 (34:23):
But now like when you have a blessing, other people
are supposed to eat off of it. You're not the
only one that's supposed to be doing the blessing. Everybody's
supposed to be.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
And I told my.

Speaker 4 (34:30):
Team, my glam team in five years were still doing this.
I don't want to see you here with me.

Speaker 3 (34:35):
I want you to do. I want you being bigger.
I want you on the road with Janet when Mary J. Blige.

Speaker 4 (34:39):
I need you to capitalize. I need curling irons, I
need hairspray with your name on it. Eat off of
this blessing because it's not just about me. So now
it's so wonderful being at a place where I can
say I want to she's the boss segment on there,
and having women come on and talk about how they
can inspire other women to start their own business at
a certain age. I want people my age, you know,

(35:01):
I think because a lot of people want to throw
us away there's like this renaissance now women who are older,
Cherrilee Ralph who are getting their flowers, Michelle Yo who
won an oscar. It's like, so we can show people
we're still viable, We're still we got a lot to offer,
and it means something because I was told so much
when I was trying to pitch a talk show.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
But we want younger, and there's nothing wrong.

Speaker 4 (35:24):
I think there needs to be a talk show host
as younger because there's there's a community that you can
speak to that I can.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
We need that, but we also need some other people too.

Speaker 6 (35:33):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
I agree with you there because and even just talking
about like that, she's the bus segment. We are always
trying to push like entrepreneurship things that we.

Speaker 1 (35:41):
Have going on.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
You know, we just did a big investment and closed
under deal yesterday a congratulation and so it's something I've
been working on for like a year, but it finally
got done and Jasmine's like, I want to invest in it,
and she did a nice it's our biggest investment.

Speaker 5 (35:55):
Both we're both cash poor right now.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
Ah, but you're looking at the big picture, yeah, the
big pic.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
Yeah, And I think also people have this perception, like
when like it's not a good thing to make a
lot of money because I feel like people look at
you bad if you're like really into making money, you know,
especially most.

Speaker 3 (36:13):
People are the ones that are scared to step out.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
Yeah, and I agree with that because you know, having
your own platform and then trying to do whatever you
can to monetize and make money. But part of being
able to do that is being able to help other people, right,
you want to be able to make a lot of
money out money, yeah, so that you can help other
people make a lot of money and invest in other
people too, So that's important.

Speaker 4 (36:31):
So yeah, I'm not one for when people say, you know,
you know, they give you the shirt off their back,
But then what do you suppose if you can't take
care of yourself, how you going to take care of
other people?

Speaker 3 (36:40):
So now you don't have a shirt on your back,
you cold, and they over their want and they over
there warm.

Speaker 4 (36:44):
And I'm absolutely like, I think you have to have
a healthy relationship with money.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
Everything can't be about money.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
It's not.

Speaker 4 (36:51):
But in the practical you need money to do things,
and you need money to help people, you know, and
to be able to help them and give a platform.
You need money, and it's all so women. We're so
used to taking care of everybody else.

Speaker 3 (37:03):
And when we look up and go, oh my god,
what am I gonna do? And you and you see
and you're working, and it's like, no, get your get.

Speaker 4 (37:10):
Your life together, with your money, your I always tell women,
with your will and your estate planning and your trust.

Speaker 3 (37:16):
Get all of that together. I tell people, get long
Maybe I don't know if it's because I'm older.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
Work.

Speaker 4 (37:22):
Look at long term health insurance so that you're not
sitting there going I got to live in the back
room with my dad on cousin who be arguing with her,
all these people in the house, right, so you could
if something happened to you, you could be at the
four seasons with a full time nurse. Like that's long
term health. Get so many of us we don't want
to think about that, what happens next?

Speaker 3 (37:41):
And it's like, no, make the money, make.

Speaker 4 (37:44):
These investments so that when you are at a certain
age it's easier.

Speaker 3 (37:47):
It's harder.

Speaker 5 (37:49):
Four seasons. When a nurse sounds really good at.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
The age, don't that sound good?

Speaker 4 (37:52):
Well, you ain't worried about so it does sound good.

Speaker 3 (37:56):
Now, let me tell you something. Something happened to me.
My sister.

Speaker 4 (37:58):
She gonna be like, I don't want to know nurs
and how she's gonna put me right there. My brother
in law don't like me anyway. He gonna be have
me in the new round. Know what he gonna be
doing to me, and that dad on back rope, It's
gonna be one tear coming out of my eye. Oh
my gosh, I'm so scared. That's what That's what drives me,
because I know my sister is gonna want me. She
be having all kinds of people in the house. You know,
she got a na different driver's license with different names

(38:19):
on it. I'm like, I do not want to be there.
And something happened to me, and Jeffrey told me I
could live in the back room behind the garage. I
need to be at the four Seasons with a full
time nurse.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
He's like, you, Jeffrey gotta take care of you.

Speaker 4 (38:32):
Oh my gosh, I'm afraid his girlfriend won't even let
me stay with them.

Speaker 3 (38:35):
I'm not depending on nobody me.

Speaker 6 (38:37):
Your mind really just goes to different scenarios. Yeah, exactly,
That's why why you're so funny.

Speaker 4 (38:44):
I do it goes it thinks of it no matter what.
I always think of like crazy stuff all the time.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
And I think it's a gift also when things don't
go well, to still be able to make a joke
out of it.

Speaker 3 (38:54):
It's always.

Speaker 4 (38:55):
I think that's how my sitcom Sherry came about because
I found out that it was infidelity in my marriage,
and uh, the girl had had a child, and it
was so painful because I married my best friend. Never
had a clue and I just sat and thought about
it and came up with twenty twenty five minutes of
material of how I, you know, found pictures what I did,

(39:18):
how Nisi Nash came and picked me up, and we
were gonna go fight the girl.

Speaker 3 (39:22):
Oh yeah, and love that reason why that kind oh girl?
Oh we was ready. She came straight from Redo now
one one.

Speaker 4 (39:27):
She had the little curly cues on the side of
her face to fight that big old booty.

Speaker 3 (39:31):
She was ready to fight. When I tell you, she
threw back a.

Speaker 4 (39:34):
Couple of drinks and she was like, let's go because
she from Dad on Saint Louis. I'm Chicagosh And the
only reason we couldn't find the house was because we
didn't know if it was court Lane or terrorist. God
loved that girl and we couldn't go over there. And
she was like she wanted to tear up his car.
When I tell you she Didne cursed out her husband
one and one A. Every time I got to go

(39:55):
to court one A and he said something to raid Island,
she would call it curse him out. That's a ride
of that. That's the ghetto girl right there. Then those
leve rookie fans and claws fool you.

Speaker 3 (40:04):
And then dog on Emmy nomination.

Speaker 4 (40:05):
She ghettos hack And so it's like, you know, I
don't even remember what you asked me.

Speaker 3 (40:10):
What was we talking about? He's a good girl. Mom,
You're like, we all like, what was sinking about?

Speaker 1 (40:15):
Unfortunate situations? But how you can still find when I.

Speaker 3 (40:18):
Was going through.

Speaker 4 (40:19):
When I was going through all of that, my mind
just started going and I needed to get on stage.
And I got on stage and I was talking about it,
and I remember Jamie Fox came up and he said,
that's probably the best you have ever been on stage
because you're so vulnerable and your pain is showing. And
from that I got a development deal they handed me
a script, and when I started telling them all of

(40:41):
that about the infidelity, they said, no, let's do a
show about this, and Malcolm jam Wat Warner ended up
playing my husband who cheated on me, and Tammy Townsend
was my best friend.

Speaker 3 (40:52):
So it was like and that was the Nassy Nash character.
She all, this sounds like it.

Speaker 4 (40:56):
She didn't get the wrong She was so mad, she said,
how am I auditioning to play your best friend?

Speaker 3 (41:01):
And I don't get the wrong? Heay, and the character
was based on.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
But I like that something bad happens, Let me go
and do something with it, get some money off of it.
That's how you really. You know, we took about revenge
and wanted to get back. That's the real revenge.

Speaker 3 (41:16):
Now, don't get me wrong. I wanted to fight. It was,
you know, and in the long.

Speaker 4 (41:21):
Term, I talk about being ghosted. How mean, same thing
me and Ghetto Girl. We was gonna go over the
where he lived and climb over his dog on Gate
and I was gonna bust up a dog on Bentley.

Speaker 3 (41:31):
I was gonna bust the windows before.

Speaker 4 (41:34):
I mean, I one time. It was terrible because I
didn't want to hurt his feelings. But I don't just
make a habit out of ghost.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
And he knew what it was, though I think he
knew now.

Speaker 4 (41:47):
But I like, I like, you know, if if it's
a painful moment, even being ghosted, I use it on stage.
But we really was gonna climb on that gate, and
we was gonna cause ruckus on his.

Speaker 3 (41:56):
Dog, on sports car and all kinds of we was
gonna tear up the right back in jail too. We
would have been really in jail.

Speaker 5 (42:02):
God love me and God love you.

Speaker 3 (42:04):
I saw him again. He's really well known. He's very
very well known.

Speaker 1 (42:07):
Are too glad you didn't do that?

Speaker 5 (42:09):
Be a great store.

Speaker 4 (42:11):
If you would have clown he said, I had dogs
all over there.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
If you would have, you.

Speaker 3 (42:15):
Would have gotten I was like, I wouldn't have even
felt a dog bite me. That's how bad you wear.
I was so mad that I had gotten ghosted.

Speaker 4 (42:22):
I wouldn't have felt nothing. I was ready to just.

Speaker 3 (42:26):
I don't know why he goes.

Speaker 1 (42:28):
You can ask him, you.

Speaker 3 (42:29):
Know what I actually should. I would ask him why
he goes, Sir.

Speaker 1 (42:34):
This sex is terrible.

Speaker 5 (42:40):
That you didn't even Yeah, you need to relax. You
did all that and you didn't have sex.

Speaker 6 (42:44):
With him.

Speaker 3 (42:44):
It was probably why, but it might have been.

Speaker 1 (42:47):
It might have been because he's like, not give me nothing, like.

Speaker 3 (42:51):
I might as well go to somebody else.

Speaker 5 (42:52):
Don't you see the kind of car I got?

Speaker 1 (42:54):
Please? And so Sherry, I want to ask you.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
I know you've been investing also and move and films
and things like that. So can you talk about that
a little bit and why that you're passionate about that
about yes.

Speaker 4 (43:06):
Like financially investing, because I just believe you know, in
like passive income, like investing in things and it coming
back to you. I was not financially literate at all,
and I didn't think about this because my parents never
were that way. We always had this kind of poor mentality,
like always survived check.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
To chet check.

Speaker 4 (43:25):
It was always check to check. Didn't teach me how
to balance a check book.

Speaker 3 (43:29):
I wish. I told Candy Burris last year.

Speaker 4 (43:32):
I was like, everything that comes to you your mind
is entrepreneurial.

Speaker 3 (43:35):
Like, no matter what you people could accuse you of
having a sex dungeon and.

Speaker 4 (43:39):
Then you're gonna create a damn dungeon, a dungeon experience tour.
It might make money off of it, Like no matter what,
I asked her how she started her her Nasty Toy line,
and she told me she was watching TV and saw
something that she thought and I said, I don't.

Speaker 3 (43:54):
I wish I had that kind of mind.

Speaker 4 (43:55):
That I've always been fearful to invest in stuff, right
because I was afraid of the.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
People are, you know, because we're also scared for like
our bank account to be you know, if you lose it,
what's going to happen?

Speaker 4 (44:06):
And sometimes but you low but you're looking at the
big picture. Failure is like, it's not bad. I look
at it now is it's a learning lesson.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
It's like investing in school. You learn so much from
things that work, and it's like if you would have
went to college.

Speaker 3 (44:19):
For exactly exactly. I learned, Oh my gosh.

Speaker 4 (44:21):
When I was investing in stocks and bonds, I was
using a whole you know, like a broker. And what
I learned was I ain't making no money because all
the fees they charge you to move everything, they're moving
it over here, they're moving it over there.

Speaker 3 (44:31):
You didn't make it. I was like, app, thank you.

Speaker 4 (44:34):
And I learned how to do this myself and get
an app and just do it myself and I'm like, oh, okay,
it's just like a learning lesson. So for me, I'm like,
take the leap of faith, find out about the product,
and go yes. I said, shoot, if it's getting me
closer to a egot, I'm invest in one of these
Broadway shows. I'm like, that's what I want to do.

Speaker 1 (44:52):
And you've been on Broadway before.

Speaker 3 (44:54):
I was in.

Speaker 4 (44:54):
Cinnarellema's Mother Cinderella.

Speaker 7 (44:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:58):
I love going to Broadway plays.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
It's fun, but it's grueling. It's they shows a week.

Speaker 1 (45:02):
Well, I just go. I like to attend, but it's
so much fun.

Speaker 4 (45:06):
It's like stand up because you're live in front of
an audience and like, literally you choke.

Speaker 3 (45:11):
If you choke, you choke you. But you trust your
people on that stage to get you back on track.
You know. One time, Kiki was mauling my.

Speaker 4 (45:18):
Words to me and when I was like, sing it
right off, put it right off, and I was like,
what the hell am I saying?

Speaker 3 (45:23):
Next she was just mouthing the world. She right back
on track.

Speaker 2 (45:27):
So maybe you could do like a one woman show too, though.
I could see that. Remember Mike Tyson did his and
everybody loved it. I definitely went to go see that.

Speaker 3 (45:34):
Did you like it?

Speaker 4 (45:34):
I did, and that was the thing you would never
think Mike Tyson One Man's show and he got critical.

Speaker 6 (45:39):
Acclaim like you got to step out there, and we
talking about you need to step out there and do that.

Speaker 3 (45:44):
I would love to. I think it's just around.

Speaker 6 (45:47):
Yeah, I'm talking about you. You know, I've started a
good story.

Speaker 4 (45:50):
I have started writing, and when I get to the
painful parts, I stopped. So I have so many notes
in my drawer of like those the moments I make
funny that are painful.

Speaker 3 (45:58):
So I really have to get back out there.

Speaker 4 (46:00):
Robin Roberts was getting on me as I said, I've
always wanted to write, and I will stop when it
gets too painful.

Speaker 3 (46:05):
So it is something.

Speaker 4 (46:06):
It's a confirmation because it keeps coming back to me
of doing a one woman show.

Speaker 1 (46:10):
I think.

Speaker 6 (46:11):
So I would definitely need we there go if it
ain't sold out, we can't we can get we don't
get some chairs for y'all were on the isle.

Speaker 3 (46:19):
I'm gonna pull somebody's grandmama out with y'all balcony.

lot more.

Speaker 3 (47:13):
I had all of these big comics at George Lopez.
These are big comments. I raised like one hundred grands's jez.

Speaker 4 (47:20):
And I told the people no cameras, and Wanda Sykes
was out there doing herself and literally she stops the
show and she goes, Okay, put the cameras up.

Speaker 3 (47:27):
I'm not playing with y'all.

Speaker 4 (47:28):
And some of them like, I'm gonna put my camera out,
and she says, I will stop this show.

Speaker 3 (47:32):
If you don't put the camera up. They come get me.

Speaker 4 (47:34):
I'll run out stage. I'm like who, And they finally
put it up because security came. She finished her show.
Why we get home and my sister goes, I don't
know why she wouldn't let us film herd She ain't not.

Speaker 3 (47:45):
I said, oh my god, why would you do this
to me? Why would you do this to me?

Speaker 4 (47:48):
And I confessed it on the talk show when Wanda came,
I said, it was my sister, the same one is
gonna make me live in the back room with her
when my brother and don't like that, that was my sister.

Speaker 3 (48:00):
I'm sorry Wanda. That.

Speaker 4 (48:01):

hard to get to the place that you are at

you have worked hard. People don't understand. This is one
thing people don't understand about radio. Usually when you have
a part, you got a whole team. It's that woman
who's there keeping everybody together, who's doing all of the research.

It's a lot of sidekicks that are women. They are
doing all of this, the facts, the factual stuff. It's
like it's on you and you were doing it. You
had all your facts together, you had all your good
questions together. And I know, being on the Breakfast Club,
it's hard to pay attention to everybody, so my attention
is on Charlotte Maye. But you always had the questions,

the stuff that people don't understand.
