Five years and 25,000 downloads later, Talk Show With P is approaching its final curtain call. This milestone episode celebrates the journey while announcing that Season 10 will be the show's grand finale.
The podcast has been more than just conversations—it's been therapy, connection, and opportunity rolled into one dynamic platform. From hosting The Ambies red carpet to experiencing stand-up comedy for the first time, the show has opened doors that once seemed firmly shut. Recent adventures at Podcast Movement Evolutions in Chicago and the Dripping in Black Creators Retreat in Detroit have reinforced the power of authentic connection in a world often filled with surface-level relationships.
Through candid reflection, we explore how the podcast landscape has changed over five years, and why it's sometimes necessary to recognize when reciprocity is missing in professional relationships. This isn't just about ending a show—it's about valuing energy, setting boundaries, and embracing evolution. The consulting company Wrap Shit With P will continue offering branding, merchandising and gifting services, proving that endings often birth beautiful beginnings.
Season 10 promises to be spectacular, featuring special guests including the long-awaited appearance from Matthew, whose story has been intertwined with the podcast since its early days. To celebrate this journey, we're launching the "Ain't That Some Shit" giveaway where listeners can win custom merchandise by identifying the show's most-used phrases.
If Talk Show With P has been part of your journey, share your memories, favorite episodes, or moments with me through social media or the SpeakPipe link. Your stories are the true measure of what these five years have meant—far more valuable than download numbers could ever be.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Mainly that's why Satoshi Mipi's coming to an end,
because I realized Hi shittalkers, Welcome to Talk Show
Wippy.
And I am your spoiler, the shittalker.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Shit talking always rocking Shit talkers.
Come on and drop in.
Shit talk is always shocking.
Talk your shit with pay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
I mean, don't we all like talking shit anyways?
Talk shit with pay is thepodcast for you.
Talk your shit with pay.
(00:59):
Yeah, hello, yeah, and I alwaysfeel like I have time because
it's just me, right?
And the next thing you know, ohshit, it's Monday and the
episode has to be out onWednesday.
So here we are, even thoughI've been knowing I had to
record this for the past twomonths or a month and a half,
(01:27):
but then I also always want torecord it near the very end.
That way I share everything Ireally want to share instead of
recording it.
And then I'm like, oh shit, Igotta do this because this
happened and this happened.
So we are at season finale.
Season 9 dragged y'all.
Season 9 was supposed to endlast year, but you know, you end
(01:49):
up with mental breakdown,emotionally, where your mind is
there but not really functioningthe way you want it to function
.
So I ended up puttingeverything on pause and healing
and through healing, a newproject came which I got excited
about and which was what washealing my mental breakdown.
(02:11):
So now that one is on breakwhile we finalize this, which
kind of sucks.
I had hopes for that project tobe out for May for Mental
Health Awareness Month, but itwon't be ready by then.
And also financially, not justthe project part, but
(02:33):
financially.
It really is a dear project ofmine.
I've shared it with a fewpeople.
I've shared it around Some ofyou know.
I've spoken about it on some ofmy articles and interviews, but
it's a really dear project ofmine and I want to make sure
(02:53):
it's right.
And again, it's nothing aboutperfection I don't care about
perfection but I just want it tobe right.
And it doesn't feel right rightnow with the marketing I would
have to do, with the productionit would have to acquire.
It just isn't right right now.
I can do it.
(03:14):
And just for the sake of sayingI got my project out in May for
Mental Health Awareness Month,but it wouldn't be the project I
would be proud of.
So it's okay to sometimes pivotand change things when it's
(03:34):
okay to realize that you aredefeated right now.
So we're going to figureanother route out.
You know, like when you'regoing on a journey and the road
you had in mind to use or theroad you were going, you end up
finding road blocked or closedbecause maybe there's traffic or
(03:58):
maybe there's somethinghappening in that street you
didn't know about, and nowyou've got to find a new route
to take it to where you'resupposed to be.
Even though it's frustrating tostart finding a new route or
passing through stores youdidn't want to pass, or taking
the road you didn't want to take, it's necessary, so that's
(04:19):
where we are, with that Again.
We are recording this today,which is monday, and it's april
21st, which is my dad's 64thbirthday.
Happy birthday, dad.
Oh my god, I love this man somuch.
And um, here's to hoping I getto be with you for your 65th,
(04:43):
which is next year.
And yesterday was Easter, whichwas also 420.
So happy Easter and 420 foranybody, or all those who
protect the bunny.
Sure did have a good timeyesterday.
But funny thing is for most ofyou who don't know, but the
(05:04):
funny thing is for most of youwho don't know, the last time
Easter and 420 shared a daytogether was in 2014.
And I remember that day verywell because it was actually my
first Easter in America, 2014year, and this is the 13th time
(05:34):
this year, 2025,.
It's the 13th time since 1630.
So there's only been 13,including this one yesterday one
of Easter in 420, sharing abirthday together, a date
together, and the next one willbe in another 62 years, that
will be in 2087.
(05:55):
Oh my God, I wonder how longthat will be.
Where do you think you'll be in2087?
With the way this world isgoing?
Oh my God, I don't know.
But that's according to the ussensor bureau.
So it's just a little fun factthat, uh, yesterday was easter,
and for 20 today, where I'mrecording this episode, on
(06:18):
monday it's my dad's 64thbirthday, and and then tomorrow,
tuesday, which is April 22nd,talk show with Pete turns five.
Ooh yo, we are five, and thenthe episode comes out on
Wednesday 23rd.
So it's like, speaking of that,it's also my godson's birthday
(06:43):
tomorrow.
So there's also that April isjust a heavy month my uncle, my
aunt, my sister-in-law'sbirthday, including my dad,
including a very good friend ofmine who passed away last year
all their birthdays are in April, and my godson, and then
(07:06):
there's also my brother'sanniversary is also in April.
So it's just the beginning ofthe month.
Then, literally after this week, everything kind of dies out.
So, five years of talk show APR.
What a journey of Talk Show APR.
What a journey.
And it's funny how we turnedfive years in April, but also on
(07:34):
the 7th of April, which was ona Monday, we celebrated 25K,
that is, 25,000 downloads.
It is a big milestone For someit's not.
For others.
It didn't take five years Forus, it did take us five years
and we're very grateful forevery listener, every guest,
(07:57):
every supporter, every share,every post Like this celebration
wouldn't have been possiblewithout y'all, but I also want
to say, with the downloads, italso wouldn't be possible
without Mopad.
So shout out to Mopad.
And for y'all who don't know,mopad literally assists
(08:21):
podcasters in growing theirlistener base through strategic
ads and provide tools to monitortheir pod performance.
So I've been using them since Imet them Not regularly, but I
have used them.
So I know part of my downloadsis to them and I've gotten
(08:45):
return listeners.
My podcast has grown because oftheir tools.
So shout out to them.
Shout out to the Mopat boys.
Speaking of the Mopat boys,right, I recently came back from
podcast movement Evolutions,which was in Dallas.
You know why Dallas has movedin my mouth and if Amanda is
(09:10):
listening to this podcast, she'sgoing to be shouting not Dallas
.
They're going to be in Dallasin August, but we were in
Chicago Chi-Town and part of megoing there was to meet specific
people.
But also part of me was therewas to meet specific people, but
also part of me was going to bewith the boys because I was
with them at Podfest and I knewPodcast Movement would be the
(09:35):
last place for now, that theywould all three be there and I
was going to record with them.
We didn't get to record I onlyrecorded with Joe but I was able
to give them their wonderfulkind presents.
I normally do this with them.
I started in last year where Igave them their whiskey glasses,
and this year what I gave them.
(09:57):
I ordered four.
For those watching the video,I'm holding one of them here.
It's part of the giveaway andso we're going to open this.
Some of you have already seenmy social media posted it, so
it's Frosted Beer Mud.
(10:18):
It says she happens in the bath, drink a beer and it represents
both she happensens and Talkshe Will Be, so the fact that
(10:43):
Talk she Will Be turns.
I've been able to do amazingstuff, including starting my
consultation firm, rocksharewp,which will bring in shit boxes
to you.
I know last year we presentedshit cards.
We are coming up with shitboxes, different varieties,
we've been brainstorming and I'mexcited about that.
(11:04):
And then shit happens, whichwas my live broadcasting, and
for season 9 and 8, most of theepisodes were from the she
Happens episodes.
So to be able to just combineeverything under TalkShareWP, to
be able to birth new babiesunder TalkShareWP, it's just
(11:27):
been incredible.
So we're going to be doing agiveaway, all right, and one of
you will be winning this mugwhich will come with a lot of
your received this podcast,evolution, which is a keychain.
But also be an opener, and ithas both my logo of shit happens
(11:49):
, talk, share, repeat, say yourshit, and it says shit always
happens.
Drink or be a talk, share,repeat, right.
So one of that is the thinginside the BMR, thing inside the
BMR and you will hear in goodcompany, because the only three
people who have this is Joe,mike and Chase from Mopad and
(12:17):
the song.
I love the voice, but fiveyears I would really love to
hear in five years for those ofyou who have been with me
through year one, for those ofyou who have joined in between,
for those of you who have justfound me, like you know, I have
(12:40):
a speak pipe right.
I'm gonna put the link of thespeak by send me some voicemails
.
I come to my social media andslide my dns on my comment
sections and just share with mewhat you have your experiences
been with talk show within thesefive years your worst memories,
(13:00):
your best memories, yourfavorite episode, your favorite
guest, your favorite soloepisode, what you have learned,
what you've gotten inspired ormotivated by.
Like, it's nice to hear thosethings and we don't get to hear
them a lot, just like how wenormally ask for reviews and we
(13:21):
don't get them either.
But, um, I feel like five years, come on, do a girl a solid and
show up for a girl, right, like, come on, that's all I'm asking
, all right.
So, saying I, I recently cameback from um chaitan where I was
at uh podcast movementevolutions, recently also become
(13:42):
a member of the protest academy, so I got to host the red
carpets for um, the ambis awards.
Um, that's the story for anotherday.
Uh, um, it was indeed anexperience.
I think I had high, so muchhigh expectations for it being
(14:04):
the Oscars of podcasting, but myexpectations didn't go with it
what I was met with.
But it was still an interestingevent.
I got to dress up I normallydon't get to dress up at
conferences, which is funnybecause even I attended Hall of
(14:29):
Fame and I wasn't dressed up,but again, I was hosting the red
carpet.
I can add red carpet host in myresume.
I was pressed like let me showyou, because I was working like
the ambis press.
I can add that to my resume.
(14:51):
So it was cool to be pressedand to experience that.
So of course you're not todress up.
You never know who you're goingto dress up.
You never know who you're gonnaend up with on the red carpet.
And I was all orange dab shoutout to uh, big lash energy.
I brought my dle energy to thered carpets and, um, we did our
(15:16):
thing.
I was in orange, I got goodcompliments, I felt like a star
because people wanted to takepictures with me, because I got
the airbrushed and all the legsare, but I do wear shirts and
long t-shirts.
Apart from that, I also got togo to Detroit and I got to see 8
(15:39):
Mile Yard.
I know, I know it's just a road, whatever, but let a God live
in a blissful moment.
Okay, there's a video of medriving through the 8 Mile Road
and the 8th Eminence song is onthere.
It's just a moment, okay, amoment that will live with me
(16:02):
forever.
But I was there for Dripping inBlood Creators Retreat and again
shout out to Mo Padu sponsored,and I was able to be there.
It was one of the most amazingexperiences I've had.
You know, to have a group ofcreators under one roof and you
(16:23):
never know.
It's amazing here, right, younever know how all these
personalities come together.
They're going to combine,because some we knew of each
other, some we hadn't, but noneof us have ever met.
Well, I've met some of the guys, but I've really not hanged out
, hanged out with apart fromdominic.
(16:44):
But it turned out amazing.
We had a blast, we learned, weuh, we educated each other, we
created a safe space for us.
Those stories shared as part ofa panel and don't get me
started on Kia Can Cook.
The food was folding Like.
I still close my eyes and thinkof that food.
(17:06):
And then I got to meet Amanda,my penny sister.
So I was supposed to meetAmanda two years ago when I was
going to Detroit for the firsttime for the awards.
She was going to be my classone.
It never happened.
That's when the airport gotflooded.
Well, detroit got flooded.
So for her to be able to makeit.
(17:27):
And it wasn't just Amanda,amanda was Chris, it was Simona.
I got to see Simona three timesso far, like January at Podfest
, then Detroit, then Chaitan.
So, simona, I hope I see youagain soon because you always
write my name.
But Simona was there, sean wasthere, simona's boyfriend,
(17:51):
dominic, was there.
It was just a beautiful brunchand that's when I went to Eggman
, so I got to experience that aswell.
And then you know, of course Ididn't miss Podfest.
I did my last speaking gig atPodfest.
A lot of people still don'tbelieve that, but sometimes you
(18:14):
just got to know when it's time,and I don't think I enjoy
speaking and again and post thescreen the right, I'm like what
exactly am I teaching?
What are people listening to mefor?
Well, I don't mind him saying Idon't mind hosting, I don't
mind being in a panel ormoderating a panel, but, like me
(18:36):
personally speaking by myself,I think Codefresh is the only
place I've done it.
Codefresh is the only placeI've done it.
I've done it once in a while.
I've done it once in a while.
Some of you know this, but Ialso did my first women in
stand-up comedy Almost shittedmy pants, but I didn't Shout-out
(19:02):
to Jack O'Reilly, he was like Idid good and gave me pointers.
Shout-out to Jeff Jowski, whohas been a big supporter and
just assistant in makingfavorite came out.
Soda was helping the girl out.
I appreciate her.
So, um, it was.
(19:23):
It was amazing.
And you you hear this part onthat interview I did with joe.
Um, he shares a little bitabout my comedy time and and
it's funny how people showed upfor me, even though they're like
they're still gonna laughbecause it's you, but uh,
(19:44):
they're like, no, we laughedbecause it was funny, so I
appreciate that.
So I broke my virginity forcomedy and I'm trying to to take
it on a whole other level.
So, while talk show EP might becoming to an end, there's still
more things that will be reborn,rebirth, born, born sounds
(20:08):
wrong, but I have all thesedifferent ideas that I just need
to sit down and do it.
And it's funny because again inthe episode with Jill we talked
about this and when she wassaying that she was giving me
the advice, I was literally likeI literally have all these
things.
(20:28):
I really don't need to sit downand I make a plan.
So I also got to move frombeing an official mayor of
Portface to an official governorof Portface.
So here's to governorchallenges I'm looking forward
(20:49):
to, which hopefully will bestarting with VidFest.
Vidfest is coming to Atlanta inAugust.
I'm excited People are going tobe in Atlanta.
I don't have to travel parkshift, you know.
So yeah, there's that.
I mean when I think, when I lookback and look at this journey
(21:12):
in five years, sometimes youknow because of how other
podcasts grow, sometimes youknow because of how other
podcasts grow, you kind of feellike damn, five years and
nothing has happened.
Some people are getting dealsand this and this, but there has
been growth and I think we allneed to kind of learn that
(21:34):
everybody's journey is differentand everybody's growth is
different.
So my podcast might not havegrown in the way people expect
or in the podcasting way it'ssupposed to be.
But also, again, my podcast wasreally for me like therapy,
like every conversation I've hadhas been healing for me.
(21:56):
The people who have chosen theconversations I choose to have
were things I needed to hear.
I needed to have that and I waslike if it touches one or two
person, then hey, that makes mehappy, right.
But 25K downloads later, Iguess we are doing something
(22:19):
right now.
The opportunities I don't thinkhalf of the opportunities are
caught and would have come if Ihadn't started TalkShare with me
.
The opportunities to just be aspeaker, to get invited, to be a
press, to host I'm gettinghired to be room managers and to
(22:44):
host events and to meet people,to be in my element, right, and
which I say right now you needmy new event, you need my energy
to show up.
You gotta pay me Because I'verealized my value.
I've realized my value.
I've realized what I ambringing.
It's not to be cocky oranything, but people get paid
(23:06):
for their shit If I'm that muchimportant or worth it for your
event.
If you feel like, oh man, ifPaula is not here, something
will be missing, or Paula canmake the crowd go be missing, or
Paula can make the cloud gowhite, or Paula can move it,
then you deserve to becompensated for that.
So, yes, right now I'm veryintentional with where, where I
(23:29):
am and where my energy is goingto, and also I might be talking
several Savage year baby.
So, because people don't reallyunderstand the energy that I
put out when I am in theseevents, the recovery I have to
do, the burnout I get once and acouple of times nobody really
(23:55):
cares.
So, you know, money makeseverything worth it.
What was this, what, what?
And I've also realized thatI've been used in a lot of these
spaces.
You know People use me whenit's beneficial for them and
(24:16):
then, when it's no longerbeneficial for them, they really
don't care.
See, I've noticed I've been soquiet because I'm a watcher.
I watch, I read through thelines, I pay attention and I see
how I really watch how peoplemove, how attitude changes.
(24:37):
Again, I'm a very intuitiveperson, you know, and I'm also
an empathist.
I feel things, maybe too muchsometimes, but as much as it's a
blessing in our class in thisindustry, it's been a blessing.
A lot of shit has been going onin the background.
(24:59):
There were times I was goingoff on Facebook, not just for no
reason, for specific reasons,and a lot of relationships have
changed as well, not for noreason, and I'm a person who
just moves with intention andwhen I see there's no longer
(25:25):
intention here, I move away.
I might not have money to give,but I'm legit and nobody can
say I'm not one of thesupportivest motherfuckers
they've come across.
I'm a very supportive friend,maybe not even a friend, whether
(25:46):
I know you or don't.
If I fuck with you in any ways,I fucking go hard for you and
will support, but then see, whenit comes to me being supported,
it's the squeakers that peoplebe talking about.
Very few people see up for meas much as I show up for them,
(26:07):
and I realize what's the point.
Why am I wasting all thisenergy on my focus?
I don't even think about it.
And people were talk, talk, talk, talk.
Social people were talk, talk,talk, talk, social media talk,
talk, talk, talk.
And then, when it comes toreality, crickets and people
(26:29):
want to cry wolf until the wolfbites and then it's over.
So I'm in this place in my lifewhere I don't care if I even
only have two people by mycorner, as long as there are two
people who are right for me,because what's the point?
And we speak so much aboutcommunity, but half of the time
(26:52):
it's only when it benefits them,not really the community.
As a person, I've been in somany communities and that's why
maybe I pick.
When I go into communities, Ipick my people and just when I,
I think of the people out herewho have communities that are
full of trust and you know it.
(27:14):
When we literally and Iappreciate this because we
really talked about this indetail in the Reacher's Retreat,
I believe it was Mr Al-Pitt'spresentation which we were
talking about community and howit's serving to its people, to
(27:36):
themselves, how is it beneficial?
So when it's just a one-waystreet, it's a really community,
and most of the communitieshave been.
It's always a one-way street.
It's never all.
They pick and choose.
You'll see them showing up forcertain people because, oh,
(27:57):
they're big in the spaces, sothose are the spaces I'm showing
up for.
And then these other littleones, because they're still
little ones, I don't need toshow up for them, which is kind
of trash as well, bullshit.
I've sat, I've watched, I'veseen it play.
They'll be the quickest to tellyou to share, support, connect,
(28:20):
but then they don't do the samefor your shit.
So why and I'll never forget,I'm a person who forgives but
doesn't forget shit when you'redoing something for somebody in
your community and then you endup throwing it back on their
face, how you abuse that changesthe entire game.
(28:43):
Or when somebody is complainingto you about something in the
community and you bring upnumbers that also shows All that
, to say that maybe that's whyI'm soupi is coming to an end,
because I realize I'm too nicefor most of these spaces, or
maybe I am.
I know I can be a bitch and Iknow I can be very spicy and
(29:12):
sarcastic and all that, butnobody can say I don't show up
for the communities I'veactually believed in and
supported.
If I stop showing up, if I stopsupporting, there's a reason.
There's a reason to everythingand I don't just wake up.
I literally have conversationswith specific people and maybe
(29:39):
that's a bad thing, because someconversations also ended up
leading to friendships slidingaway.
Maybe that's also good, youknow, because if I'm voicing my
opinion and you take it to heartinstead of actually hearing me,
(30:00):
because you want to stand out,because, again, people got to
understand what you go throughand what I go through, even if
we're in the same community, canbe two different things, just
like we live in one world.
But your journey might not bethe same.
(30:21):
Your experience with me won'tbe the same as the experience
with me.
It all depends on how we met,how we're doing with each other,
who do you fuck with?
Who do we support, who do webelieve in?
And I'm not going to lie Duringthat and most of you know I
(30:42):
don't talk a lot about religionor politics in my podcast for
specific reasons, and I reallydon't care who you vote for,
what you believe in, I care.
At the end of the day, you arehuman and you believe in normal
human rights, despite of who youvoted for.
(31:06):
So during the election time,when I was seeing how people
were standing up for whoeverthey were voting for, it didn't
bother me.
Everybody leaves their owngrave, right.
But I was after the weekend,president, and the things that
(31:26):
were being done and the thingsthat people were saying, and I
was like wow.
People were saying and in myhead I was like wow, I mean, at
this point we're not evenfighting about the president,
we're fighting about just normalliving rights, surviving rights
(31:47):
, normal immigration rights,normal health rights, normal
things that human beingsshouldn't even be.
No more health, no more thingsthat human beings shouldn't even
be fighting for their rights,because they should be rights of
human beings.
One more thing, you know, butseeing the way people were
(32:09):
standing up for certain thingsand the way they were debating
certain things, it really brokemy and that's when I realized
standing up for certain thingsand the way they were debating
certain things.
You leave it broken.
And that's when I realized welive in a world of fake caring.
You know you can't be seeingyour author community when your
community has any lunch, has DEIrepresentative, and yet you're
(32:33):
out here twitching onimmigration.
Let them go back to theircountry.
Yes, I hope that you know thatwell.
And then you're still going tocome to your community and think
that, oh, I support everybody,I'm here for the community.
We have to be successful.
I'm sorry.
(32:54):
I'm sorry, lose the fake shitover.
So when I say the shit I'll beposting on Facebook doesn't just
come.
I don't just wake up and belike I'm going well.
I do have those days.
I'm just waking up in a verypetty mood and I go searching
for shit.
But this is things which I'mconstantly seeing and reading
(33:17):
people's newsletters.
The amount of unsubscribes I'vedone lately, not in followers,
in friends on social media, innewsletter calls.
It's like caring.
Just like the saying when it'sBlack History Month in
newsletter cause fair caring.
Just like the saying when it'sBlack History Month.
(33:39):
People promote all these blackshows that they don't even give
a fuck about.
They don't even listen, and assoon as the month ends, that's
it.
Yet in your community you haveblack folks.
It shouldn't just be one monthwhere you're concentrated on
black folks.
Black history is everymotherfucking day.
You have people in yourcommunity and just be one month
where you're concentrated onblack folks.
Black history is everymotherfucking day.
You have people in yourcommunity who are black.
(33:59):
It makes sense, but you waitwithout one month to show that
you fake care.
And then after that, this timeI can no longer take this fake
presence.
I can no longer continueshowing up for people who don't
(34:23):
give a shit about me.
I can no longer continueshowing up for people who don't
show up for me.
People will go above and beyondfor people who have social
status and then for little ones.
I remember last year I gave outlots of replacements to people
who normally some of them wouldeven message me when I don't
(34:46):
repost their shit, or message measking me to repost.
The only request I had was sendme a video of you opening this
shit.
I gave almost 20 cards.
I only received five bids andthat was the only way of
(35:09):
supporting me.
Half of them never even sharedmy show.
I don't care, they've been onmy show hope they never even
share my show.
I don't care, they've been onmy show.
They've never even rated it.
The same people ask for reviewsas well.
I'm a guest on somebody's show,I write a review.
Or if I listen to an episode, Ido a review.
(35:32):
No more things, right.
And that's why I was thinkinghow can you be coming for things
that you also don't do?
Stop talking shit that youdon't personally do for these
people.
You can't be begging thecommunity to rate you, and half
of the people in your communityare podcasters and you haven't
introduced them.
So to me, that kind of kind oflike it was like okay, but then
(35:58):
they'll do all these other bigthings for people in their
social status because they'reimportant, and then when it's
time that it clicks, or thisperson is also important here,
they start running back.
So so it's like waves when itbenefits them.
So I am officially saying fuckthis shit.
(36:19):
You want me in your presencefor your event, you're going to
have to pay me Unless I'm justshowing up to support.
But if you want me to MC tohost, I'm only showing up to
support.
But if you want me to emcee tohost, I'm only volunteering for
the places I choose to volunteer.
So don't ask me to, I'm all formyself.
(36:43):
But yeah, so when it comes toemceeing hosting, make sure you,
when you're asking me, you askfor my price as well.
Let's make that clear whatwhat's up.
I'm not saying that everybody isbad.
(37:04):
No, I've found beautifulfriendships and incredible loves
and people I care about, peoplewho really legitimately care
about me, people who show up forme, people who support me.
So five years has been a lot ofchallenges, a lot of growth, a
(37:28):
lot of lessons, a lot ofopportunities.
Oh my God the burnout.
A lot of opportunities.
Oh my God the burnout.
But it also was because of mydedication to the people who
show up for Talk to the Weeping,the resilience I have in me for
never giving up.
I'm proud of this baby, proudof it from day one.
(37:50):
One meaningful connection, theintentional connections, the
intentional collaborations.
It's been a joy.
It's been a joy Now with that.
Have you heard about StampedeSocial?

Matthew, and he was one timesupposed to come on Talk Show
with Pea I think it was season 4or something.
He wanted to come to Pliny'scase at that time because a lot
of my side was saved, but itwasn't the right timing.

So he's going to come and Idon't know yet what episode.
We're still in negotiating thatpart.

It's not really over until it'sover, but so it's going to be
(42:30):
an exciting, different kind ofseason, all about growth and
pivoting and rebranding andchange, which is something that
we are going through.
I'm excited.
I'm excited about season 10right now.

So what is In that Sam Shitgiveaway, which is a very good
question.
So there will be a post onInstagram, of course, and on
that post it will talk about thegiveaway, but essentially, what
you have to do.
I've come to realize thatthroughout my five years of
(44:38):
podcasting, right, I have thesefive phrases which I normally
use, my five most used phraseson my podcast.
So, and end us some shit is oneof them, and that's why we are
(44:58):
calling it end us some shitgiveaway, because I figured most
people might know that one.
I don't know why.
So, meaning, now there are fourleft since we took out end us
some shit.
You can't use end us some shit.
So there are four other phrasesthat I use most.
So whoever gets either all fouror more than one gets to win
(45:22):
the giveaway.
So you're gonna go to my um,the instagram, the post that I'm
gonna put up, and then you'regonna share what you think my
most four used phrases, since wealready gave out the one.
So whoever gets all the four ormore than one, gets the giveaway
(45:43):
, which is the shit happensdrink a beer mug with a key
chain, which is also a talk showwith pee.

Collabo and we're, which isalso a Talk she Will Be, she

talksharewp.
Whoever can get all four willbe the winner, or whoever gets
more than one you don't have toname all four, but at least you

I mean it's been a blast and Ican't wait for season 10, y'all
Until next time.
Shit talking until next time.
Mainly that's why Satoshi Mipi's coming to an end,
because I realized Hi shittalkers, Welcome to Talk Show
Wippy.
And I am your spoiler, the shittalker.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Shit talking always rocking Shit talkers.
Come on and drop in.
Shit talk is always shocking.
Talk your shit with pay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
I mean, don't we all like talking shit anyways?
Talk shit with pay is thepodcast for you.
Talk your shit with pay.
(00:59):
Yeah, hello, yeah, and I alwaysfeel like I have time because
it's just me, right?
And the next thing you know, ohshit, it's Monday and the
episode has to be out onWednesday.
So here we are, even thoughI've been knowing I had to
record this for the past twomonths or a month and a half,
(01:27):
but then I also always want torecord it near the very end.
That way I share everything Ireally want to share instead of
recording it.
And then I'm like, oh shit, Igotta do this because this
happened and this happened.
So we are at season finale.
Season 9 dragged y'all.
Season 9 was supposed to endlast year, but you know, you end
(01:49):
up with mental breakdown,emotionally, where your mind is
there but not really functioningthe way you want it to function
.
So I ended up puttingeverything on pause and healing
and through healing, a newproject came which I got excited
about and which was what washealing my mental breakdown.
(02:11):
So now that one is on breakwhile we finalize this, which
kind of sucks.
I had hopes for that project tobe out for May for Mental
Health Awareness Month, but itwon't be ready by then.
And also financially, not justthe project part, but
(02:33):
financially.
It really is a dear project ofmine.
I've shared it with a fewpeople.
I've shared it around Some ofyou know.
I've spoken about it on some ofmy articles and interviews, but
it's a really dear project ofmine and I want to make sure
(02:53):
it's right.
And again, it's nothing aboutperfection I don't care about
perfection but I just want it tobe right.
And it doesn't feel right rightnow with the marketing I would
have to do, with the productionit would have to acquire.
It just isn't right right now.
I can do it.
(03:14):
And just for the sake of sayingI got my project out in May for
Mental Health Awareness Month,but it wouldn't be the project I
would be proud of.
So it's okay to sometimes pivotand change things when it's
(03:34):
okay to realize that you aredefeated right now.
So we're going to figureanother route out.
You know, like when you'regoing on a journey and the road
you had in mind to use or theroad you were going, you end up
finding road blocked or closedbecause maybe there's traffic or
(03:58):
maybe there's somethinghappening in that street you
didn't know about, and nowyou've got to find a new route
to take it to where you'resupposed to be.
Even though it's frustrating tostart finding a new route or
passing through stores youdidn't want to pass, or taking
the road you didn't want to take, it's necessary, so that's
(04:19):
where we are, with that Again.
We are recording this today,which is monday, and it's april
21st, which is my dad's 64thbirthday.
Happy birthday, dad.
Oh my god, I love this man somuch.
And um, here's to hoping I getto be with you for your 65th,
(04:43):
which is next year.
And yesterday was Easter, whichwas also 420.
So happy Easter and 420 foranybody, or all those who
protect the bunny.
Sure did have a good timeyesterday.
But funny thing is for most ofyou who don't know, but the
(05:04):
funny thing is for most of youwho don't know, the last time
Easter and 420 shared a daytogether was in 2014.
And I remember that day verywell because it was actually my
first Easter in America, 2014year, and this is the 13th time
(05:34):
this year, 2025,.
It's the 13th time since 1630.
So there's only been 13,including this one yesterday one
of Easter in 420, sharing abirthday together, a date
together, and the next one willbe in another 62 years, that
will be in 2087.
(05:55):
Oh my God, I wonder how longthat will be.
Where do you think you'll be in2087?
With the way this world isgoing?
Oh my God, I don't know.
But that's according to the ussensor bureau.
So it's just a little fun factthat, uh, yesterday was easter,
and for 20 today, where I'mrecording this episode, on
(06:18):
monday it's my dad's 64thbirthday, and and then tomorrow,
tuesday, which is April 22nd,talk show with Pete turns five.
Ooh yo, we are five, and thenthe episode comes out on
Wednesday 23rd.
So it's like, speaking of that,it's also my godson's birthday
(06:43):
tomorrow.
So there's also that April isjust a heavy month my uncle, my
aunt, my sister-in-law'sbirthday, including my dad,
including a very good friend ofmine who passed away last year
all their birthdays are in April, and my godson, and then
(07:06):
there's also my brother'sanniversary is also in April.
So it's just the beginning ofthe month.
Then, literally after this week, everything kind of dies out.
So, five years of talk show APR.
What a journey of Talk Show APR.
What a journey.
And it's funny how we turnedfive years in April, but also on
(07:34):
the 7th of April, which was ona Monday, we celebrated 25K,
that is, 25,000 downloads.
It is a big milestone For someit's not.
For others.
It didn't take five years Forus, it did take us five years
and we're very grateful forevery listener, every guest,
(07:57):
every supporter, every share,every post Like this celebration
wouldn't have been possiblewithout y'all, but I also want
to say, with the downloads, italso wouldn't be possible
without Mopad.
So shout out to Mopad.
And for y'all who don't know,mopad literally assists
(08:21):
podcasters in growing theirlistener base through strategic
ads and provide tools to monitortheir pod performance.
So I've been using them since Imet them Not regularly, but I
have used them.
So I know part of my downloadsis to them and I've gotten
(08:45):
return listeners.
My podcast has grown because oftheir tools.
So shout out to them.
Shout out to the Mopat boys.
Speaking of the Mopat boys,right, I recently came back from
podcast movement Evolutions,which was in Dallas.
You know why Dallas has movedin my mouth and if Amanda is
(09:10):
listening to this podcast, she'sgoing to be shouting not Dallas
.
They're going to be in Dallasin August, but we were in
Chicago Chi-Town and part of megoing there was to meet specific
people.
But also part of me was therewas to meet specific people, but
also part of me was going to bewith the boys because I was
with them at Podfest and I knewPodcast Movement would be the
(09:35):
last place for now, that theywould all three be there and I
was going to record with them.
We didn't get to record I onlyrecorded with Joe but I was able
to give them their wonderfulkind presents.
I normally do this with them.
I started in last year where Igave them their whiskey glasses,
and this year what I gave them.
(09:57):
I ordered four.
For those watching the video,I'm holding one of them here.
It's part of the giveaway andso we're going to open this.
Some of you have already seenmy social media posted it, so
it's Frosted Beer Mud.
(10:18):
It says she happens in the bath, drink a beer and it represents
both she happensens and Talkshe Will Be, so the fact that
(10:43):
Talk she Will Be turns.
I've been able to do amazingstuff, including starting my
consultation firm, rocksharewp,which will bring in shit boxes
to you.
I know last year we presentedshit cards.
We are coming up with shitboxes, different varieties,
we've been brainstorming and I'mexcited about that.
(11:04):
And then shit happens, whichwas my live broadcasting, and
for season 9 and 8, most of theepisodes were from the she
Happens episodes.
So to be able to just combineeverything under TalkShareWP, to
be able to birth new babiesunder TalkShareWP, it's just
(11:27):
been incredible.
So we're going to be doing agiveaway, all right, and one of
you will be winning this mugwhich will come with a lot of
your received this podcast,evolution, which is a keychain.
But also be an opener, and ithas both my logo of shit happens
(11:49):
, talk, share, repeat, say yourshit, and it says shit always
happens.
Drink or be a talk, share,repeat, right.
So one of that is the thinginside the BMR, thing inside the
BMR and you will hear in goodcompany, because the only three
people who have this is Joe,mike and Chase from Mopad and
(12:17):
the song.
I love the voice, but fiveyears I would really love to
hear in five years for those ofyou who have been with me
through year one, for those ofyou who have joined in between,
for those of you who have justfound me, like you know, I have
(12:40):
a speak pipe right.
I'm gonna put the link of thespeak by send me some voicemails
.
I come to my social media andslide my dns on my comment
sections and just share with mewhat you have your experiences
been with talk show within thesefive years your worst memories,
(13:00):
your best memories, yourfavorite episode, your favorite
guest, your favorite soloepisode, what you have learned,
what you've gotten inspired ormotivated by.
Like, it's nice to hear thosethings and we don't get to hear
them a lot, just like how wenormally ask for reviews and we
(13:21):
don't get them either.
But, um, I feel like five years, come on, do a girl a solid and
show up for a girl, right, like, come on, that's all I'm asking
, all right.
So, saying I, I recently cameback from um chaitan where I was
at uh podcast movementevolutions, recently also become
(13:42):
a member of the protest academy, so I got to host the red
carpets for um, the ambis awards.
Um, that's the story for anotherday.
Uh, um, it was indeed anexperience.
I think I had high, so muchhigh expectations for it being
(14:04):
the Oscars of podcasting, but myexpectations didn't go with it
what I was met with.
But it was still an interestingevent.
I got to dress up I normallydon't get to dress up at
conferences, which is funnybecause even I attended Hall of
(14:29):
Fame and I wasn't dressed up,but again, I was hosting the red
carpet.
I can add red carpet host in myresume.
I was pressed like let me showyou, because I was working like
the ambis press.
I can add that to my resume.
(14:51):
So it was cool to be pressedand to experience that.
So of course you're not todress up.
You never know who you're goingto dress up.
You never know who you're gonnaend up with on the red carpet.
And I was all orange dab shoutout to uh, big lash energy.
I brought my dle energy to thered carpets and, um, we did our
(15:16):
thing.
I was in orange, I got goodcompliments, I felt like a star
because people wanted to takepictures with me, because I got
the airbrushed and all the legsare, but I do wear shirts and
long t-shirts.
Apart from that, I also got togo to Detroit and I got to see 8
(15:39):
Mile Yard.
I know, I know it's just a road, whatever, but let a God live
in a blissful moment.
Okay, there's a video of medriving through the 8 Mile Road
and the 8th Eminence song is onthere.
It's just a moment, okay, amoment that will live with me
(16:02):
forever.
But I was there for Dripping inBlood Creators Retreat and again
shout out to Mo Padu sponsored,and I was able to be there.
It was one of the most amazingexperiences I've had.
You know, to have a group ofcreators under one roof and you
(16:23):
never know.
It's amazing here, right, younever know how all these
personalities come together.
They're going to combine,because some we knew of each
other, some we hadn't, but noneof us have ever met.
Well, I've met some of the guys, but I've really not hanged out
, hanged out with apart fromdominic.
(16:44):
But it turned out amazing.
We had a blast, we learned, weuh, we educated each other, we
created a safe space for us.
Those stories shared as part ofa panel and don't get me
started on Kia Can Cook.
The food was folding Like.
I still close my eyes and thinkof that food.
(17:06):
And then I got to meet Amanda,my penny sister.
So I was supposed to meetAmanda two years ago when I was
going to Detroit for the firsttime for the awards.
She was going to be my classone.
It never happened.
That's when the airport gotflooded.
Well, detroit got flooded.
So for her to be able to makeit.
(17:27):
And it wasn't just Amanda,amanda was Chris, it was Simona.
I got to see Simona three timesso far, like January at Podfest
, then Detroit, then Chaitan.
So, simona, I hope I see youagain soon because you always
write my name.
But Simona was there, sean wasthere, simona's boyfriend,
(17:51):
dominic, was there.
It was just a beautiful brunchand that's when I went to Eggman
, so I got to experience that aswell.
And then you know, of course Ididn't miss Podfest.
I did my last speaking gig atPodfest.
A lot of people still don'tbelieve that, but sometimes you
(18:14):
just got to know when it's time,and I don't think I enjoy
speaking and again and post thescreen the right, I'm like what
exactly am I teaching?
What are people listening to mefor?
Well, I don't mind him saying Idon't mind hosting, I don't
mind being in a panel ormoderating a panel, but, like me
(18:36):
personally speaking by myself,I think Codefresh is the only
place I've done it.
Codefresh is the only placeI've done it.
I've done it once in a while.
I've done it once in a while.
Some of you know this, but Ialso did my first women in
stand-up comedy Almost shittedmy pants, but I didn't Shout-out
(19:02):
to Jack O'Reilly, he was like Idid good and gave me pointers.
Shout-out to Jeff Jowski, whohas been a big supporter and
just assistant in makingfavorite came out.
Soda was helping the girl out.
I appreciate her.
So, um, it was.
(19:23):
It was amazing.
And you you hear this part onthat interview I did with joe.
Um, he shares a little bitabout my comedy time and and
it's funny how people showed upfor me, even though they're like
they're still gonna laughbecause it's you, but uh,
(19:44):
they're like, no, we laughedbecause it was funny, so I
appreciate that.
So I broke my virginity forcomedy and I'm trying to to take
it on a whole other level.
So, while talk show EP might becoming to an end, there's still
more things that will be reborn,rebirth, born, born sounds
(20:08):
wrong, but I have all thesedifferent ideas that I just need
to sit down and do it.
And it's funny because again inthe episode with Jill we talked
about this and when she wassaying that she was giving me
the advice, I was literally likeI literally have all these
things.
(20:28):
I really don't need to sit downand I make a plan.
So I also got to move frombeing an official mayor of
Portface to an official governorof Portface.
So here's to governorchallenges I'm looking forward
(20:49):
to, which hopefully will bestarting with VidFest.
Vidfest is coming to Atlanta inAugust.
I'm excited People are going tobe in Atlanta.
I don't have to travel parkshift, you know.
So yeah, there's that.
I mean when I think, when I lookback and look at this journey
(21:12):
in five years, sometimes youknow because of how other
podcasts grow, sometimes youknow because of how other
podcasts grow, you kind of feellike damn, five years and
nothing has happened.
Some people are getting dealsand this and this, but there has
been growth and I think we allneed to kind of learn that
(21:34):
everybody's journey is differentand everybody's growth is
different.
So my podcast might not havegrown in the way people expect
or in the podcasting way it'ssupposed to be.
But also, again, my podcast wasreally for me like therapy,
like every conversation I've hadhas been healing for me.
(21:56):
The people who have chosen theconversations I choose to have
were things I needed to hear.
I needed to have that and I waslike if it touches one or two
person, then hey, that makes mehappy, right.
But 25K downloads later, Iguess we are doing something
(22:19):
right now.
The opportunities I don't thinkhalf of the opportunities are
caught and would have come if Ihadn't started TalkShare with me
.
The opportunities to just be aspeaker, to get invited, to be a
press, to host I'm gettinghired to be room managers and to
(22:44):
host events and to meet people,to be in my element, right, and
which I say right now you needmy new event, you need my energy
to show up.
You gotta pay me Because I'verealized my value.
I've realized my value.
I've realized what I ambringing.
It's not to be cocky oranything, but people get paid
(23:06):
for their shit If I'm that muchimportant or worth it for your
event.
If you feel like, oh man, ifPaula is not here, something
will be missing, or Paula canmake the crowd go be missing, or
Paula can make the cloud gowhite, or Paula can move it,
then you deserve to becompensated for that.
So, yes, right now I'm veryintentional with where, where I
(23:29):
am and where my energy is goingto, and also I might be talking
several Savage year baby.
So, because people don't reallyunderstand the energy that I
put out when I am in theseevents, the recovery I have to
do, the burnout I get once and acouple of times nobody really
(23:55):
cares.
So, you know, money makeseverything worth it.
What was this, what, what?
And I've also realized thatI've been used in a lot of these
spaces.
You know People use me whenit's beneficial for them and
(24:16):
then, when it's no longerbeneficial for them, they really
don't care.
See, I've noticed I've been soquiet because I'm a watcher.
I watch, I read through thelines, I pay attention and I see
how I really watch how peoplemove, how attitude changes.
(24:37):
Again, I'm a very intuitiveperson, you know, and I'm also
an empathist.
I feel things, maybe too muchsometimes, but as much as it's a
blessing in our class in thisindustry, it's been a blessing.
A lot of shit has been going onin the background.
(24:59):
There were times I was goingoff on Facebook, not just for no
reason, for specific reasons,and a lot of relationships have
changed as well, not for noreason, and I'm a person who
just moves with intention andwhen I see there's no longer
(25:25):
intention here, I move away.
I might not have money to give,but I'm legit and nobody can
say I'm not one of thesupportivest motherfuckers
they've come across.
I'm a very supportive friend,maybe not even a friend, whether
(25:46):
I know you or don't.
If I fuck with you in any ways,I fucking go hard for you and
will support, but then see, whenit comes to me being supported,
it's the squeakers that peoplebe talking about.
Very few people see up for meas much as I show up for them,
(26:07):
and I realize what's the point.
Why am I wasting all thisenergy on my focus?
I don't even think about it.
And people were talk, talk, talk, talk.
Social people were talk, talk,talk, talk, social media talk,
talk, talk, talk.
And then, when it comes toreality, crickets and people
(26:29):
want to cry wolf until the wolfbites and then it's over.
So I'm in this place in my lifewhere I don't care if I even
only have two people by mycorner, as long as there are two
people who are right for me,because what's the point?
And we speak so much aboutcommunity, but half of the time
(26:52):
it's only when it benefits them,not really the community.
As a person, I've been in somany communities and that's why
maybe I pick.
When I go into communities, Ipick my people and just when I,
I think of the people out herewho have communities that are
full of trust and you know it.
(27:14):
When we literally and Iappreciate this because we
really talked about this indetail in the Reacher's Retreat,
I believe it was Mr Al-Pitt'spresentation which we were
talking about community and howit's serving to its people, to
(27:36):
themselves, how is it beneficial?
So when it's just a one-waystreet, it's a really community,
and most of the communitieshave been.
It's always a one-way street.
It's never all.
They pick and choose.
You'll see them showing up forcertain people because, oh,
(27:57):
they're big in the spaces, sothose are the spaces I'm showing
up for.
And then these other littleones, because they're still
little ones, I don't need toshow up for them, which is kind
of trash as well, bullshit.
I've sat, I've watched, I'veseen it play.
They'll be the quickest to tellyou to share, support, connect,
(28:20):
but then they don't do the samefor your shit.
So why and I'll never forget,I'm a person who forgives but
doesn't forget shit when you'redoing something for somebody in
your community and then you endup throwing it back on their
face, how you abuse that changesthe entire game.
(28:43):
Or when somebody is complainingto you about something in the
community and you bring upnumbers that also shows All that
, to say that maybe that's whyI'm soupi is coming to an end,
because I realize I'm too nicefor most of these spaces, or
maybe I am.
I know I can be a bitch and Iknow I can be very spicy and
(29:12):
sarcastic and all that, butnobody can say I don't show up
for the communities I'veactually believed in and
supported.
If I stop showing up, if I stopsupporting, there's a reason.
There's a reason to everythingand I don't just wake up.
I literally have conversationswith specific people and maybe
(29:39):
that's a bad thing, because someconversations also ended up
leading to friendships slidingaway.
Maybe that's also good, youknow, because if I'm voicing my
opinion and you take it to heartinstead of actually hearing me,
(30:00):
because you want to stand out,because, again, people got to
understand what you go throughand what I go through, even if
we're in the same community, canbe two different things, just
like we live in one world.
But your journey might not bethe same.
(30:21):
Your experience with me won'tbe the same as the experience
with me.
It all depends on how we met,how we're doing with each other,
who do you fuck with?
Who do we support, who do webelieve in?
And I'm not going to lie Duringthat and most of you know I
(30:42):
don't talk a lot about religionor politics in my podcast for
specific reasons, and I reallydon't care who you vote for,
what you believe in, I care.
At the end of the day, you arehuman and you believe in normal
human rights, despite of who youvoted for.
(31:06):
So during the election time,when I was seeing how people
were standing up for whoeverthey were voting for, it didn't
bother me.
Everybody leaves their owngrave, right.
But I was after the weekend,president, and the things that
(31:26):
were being done and the thingsthat people were saying, and I
was like wow.
People were saying and in myhead I was like wow, I mean, at
this point we're not evenfighting about the president,
we're fighting about just normalliving rights, surviving rights
(31:47):
, normal immigration rights,normal health rights, normal
things that human beingsshouldn't even be.
No more health, no more thingsthat human beings shouldn't even
be fighting for their rights,because they should be rights of
human beings.
One more thing, you know, butseeing the way people were
(32:09):
standing up for certain thingsand the way they were debating
certain things, it really brokemy and that's when I realized
standing up for certain thingsand the way they were debating
certain things.
You leave it broken.
And that's when I realized welive in a world of fake caring.
You know you can't be seeingyour author community when your
community has any lunch, has DEIrepresentative, and yet you're
(32:33):
out here twitching onimmigration.
Let them go back to theircountry.
Yes, I hope that you know thatwell.
And then you're still going tocome to your community and think
that, oh, I support everybody,I'm here for the community.
We have to be successful.
I'm sorry.
(32:54):
I'm sorry, lose the fake shitover.
So when I say the shit I'll beposting on Facebook doesn't just
come.
I don't just wake up and belike I'm going well.
I do have those days.
I'm just waking up in a verypetty mood and I go searching
for shit.
But this is things which I'mconstantly seeing and reading
(33:17):
people's newsletters.
The amount of unsubscribes I'vedone lately, not in followers,
in friends on social media, innewsletter calls.
It's like caring.
Just like the saying when it'sBlack History Month in
newsletter cause fair caring.
Just like the saying when it'sBlack History Month.
(33:39):
People promote all these blackshows that they don't even give
a fuck about.
They don't even listen, and assoon as the month ends, that's
it.
Yet in your community you haveblack folks.
It shouldn't just be one monthwhere you're concentrated on
black folks.
Black history is everymotherfucking day.
You have people in yourcommunity and just be one month
where you're concentrated onblack folks.
Black history is everymotherfucking day.
You have people in yourcommunity who are black.
(33:59):
It makes sense, but you waitwithout one month to show that
you fake care.
And then after that, this timeI can no longer take this fake
presence.
I can no longer continueshowing up for people who don't
(34:23):
give a shit about me.
I can no longer continueshowing up for people who don't
show up for me.
People will go above and beyondfor people who have social
status and then for little ones.
I remember last year I gave outlots of replacements to people
who normally some of them wouldeven message me when I don't
(34:46):
repost their shit, or message measking me to repost.
The only request I had was sendme a video of you opening this
shit.
I gave almost 20 cards.
I only received five bids andthat was the only way of
(35:09):
supporting me.
Half of them never even sharedmy show.
I don't care, they've been onmy show hope they never even
share my show.
I don't care, they've been onmy show.
They've never even rated it.
The same people ask for reviewsas well.
I'm a guest on somebody's show,I write a review.
Or if I listen to an episode, Ido a review.
(35:32):
No more things, right.
And that's why I was thinkinghow can you be coming for things
that you also don't do?
Stop talking shit that youdon't personally do for these
people.
You can't be begging thecommunity to rate you, and half
of the people in your communityare podcasters and you haven't
introduced them.
So to me, that kind of kind oflike it was like okay, but then
(35:58):
they'll do all these other bigthings for people in their
social status because they'reimportant, and then when it's
time that it clicks, or thisperson is also important here,
they start running back.
So so it's like waves when itbenefits them.
So I am officially saying fuckthis shit.
(36:19):
You want me in your presencefor your event, you're going to
have to pay me Unless I'm justshowing up to support.
But if you want me to MC tohost, I'm only showing up to
support.
But if you want me to emcee tohost, I'm only volunteering for
the places I choose to volunteer.
So don't ask me to, I'm all formyself.
(36:43):
But yeah, so when it comes toemceeing hosting, make sure you,
when you're asking me, you askfor my price as well.
Let's make that clear whatwhat's up.
I'm not saying that everybody isbad.
(37:04):
No, I've found beautifulfriendships and incredible loves
and people I care about, peoplewho really legitimately care
about me, people who show up forme, people who support me.
So five years has been a lot ofchallenges, a lot of growth, a
(37:28):
lot of lessons, a lot ofopportunities.
Oh my God the burnout.
A lot of opportunities.
Oh my God the burnout.
But it also was because of mydedication to the people who
show up for Talk to the Weeping,the resilience I have in me for
never giving up.
I'm proud of this baby, proudof it from day one.
(37:50):
One meaningful connection, theintentional connections, the
intentional collaborations.
It's been a joy.
It's been a joy Now with that.
