That's that's that's crazy. That that's crazy. And Trump don't

(06:34):
care about nobody but his lawyalties. You don't. What he
is doing is he is using he's using the the
power of our justice ses. He's using the power of
the United States of America, of the justice of the
justice system to weaponize his political opponents. And it's crazy

(06:56):
and it's scary, and it's it's just it's weird. It's
how Trump operates. I don't understand him and I never

we can't be mad because they tried to tell us,
and people still put him in office. They still put

(07:16):
Trump in office. But hey, it's all good. It is

coming up next, I sit down with a queen of comedy,
Oscar winning legend Monique, coming up next to jam over
the show. Y'all don't want to miss it, and when

(07:39):
I'm next right now. Growing up, I watched this lady
every night during the summertime. I watch this lady every night.
My grandmama made me watch this show every night. The
Parkers and I have so much love and respect for

(08:01):
this so much respect for this woman because in twenty
seventeen and twenty eighteen two the nineteen you took a
fight that so many people would not take. And you know,
it really tears me up because that could be my grandmama,
that could be my mama, that could be my auntie.
And I support that so much and I'm so glad
that you came out on the top. And the star

(08:26):
of my name is Monique. Ladies and gentlemen, I have
Oscar winning award winning comedian Monique on the show. How
you doing, miss Monique?

Speaker 2 (08:33):
I'm doing wonderful.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
Jay.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
How you doing, baby.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
I'm blessed. I'm glad to have you here. Thank you
for taking time on your schedule out of the Monique's
Movement to come here and talk to me today.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Thanks for having me. Thanks so much for having me baby.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
So how are you doing? What's going on? How you doing?
You're looking good?

Speaker 2 (08:50):
I'm doing amazing.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
Did the Moniqu's Movement this morning at five thirty am
in the cold, right, got that God and got it going.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
But I feel amazing. Life is good.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
That's good. That's good. That's good. So in the intro
I talked about, you know, the comedy special. How did
that feel? How did that feel to say I told
you so when everybody was saying, hey, we ain't finna
get in this, but you you stood by something. How
does that feel to have that that come out? Talk
on it? You know?

Speaker 4 (09:22):
Well, first I didn't do it to tell anybody, so
gotch I did it to tell me, so, to tell
me and my husband. We knew what we were standing in.
We knew what we were saying was right and factual,
and we couldn't back down from it, Jay, because there
was somebody that thought about me before I got here, right.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
And that was all the sisters before me.

Speaker 4 (09:46):
So now I have to take that torch and think
about the babies that's not here yet that will come
after me. And that's why we had to stand in
it right long and different wind, lose or draw. We
had to saying we're going to have this fight.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Wow. And I love the coming to specially by the way,
and I'm so glad that you were able to do it.
And it was it was amazing and I'm so happy
for you. Let's talk about the tour with Kat. You
know how how was that experience? Like when I saw
you a bhim a few months ago? You killed it?
You something.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
I will say this, Kat Williams is one of the
purest brothers I've ever met in the entertainment business.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
His word is truly his bond.

Speaker 4 (10:29):
To be out on that tour with I'll say some
of the greatest to ever do it in my generation.
To watch Tommy Davison be brilliant. Yes, Tommy Davison can
do the same show in front of kindergarteners and elders. Okay,
now get the same Jay. I cannot say that, but

(10:50):
I watched this man be a comedic genius. Watched Matt
Curry and Juman Miller and Red Grant and Corey b
and Melanie and Williams. To be in that company time,
it was what a time it was, and especially during
this time, so to walk out on those stages and

(11:14):
to receive that type of love you never get used
to that. Let me just say, never get used to
ten thousand plus people standing on their feet and screaming
as loud as they can, and they screaming your name.
Every time it happened. I had to catch myself and
not bust out crying. I had to get okay, okay,

(11:38):
let me get myself together.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
But it was.

Speaker 4 (11:40):
Absolutely one of the best tours I've ever done in
my entire career.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
Wow, and when you go on stage, do you stink
of that same thrill?

Speaker 4 (11:51):
Let me tell you something, Jake, Okay, I watched Comedian
Talent do this interview right sure, and he told a
secret of mine that I never thought anybody would tell.
But since he told it, damn it, I can tell you.
But every show I've got to go to the bathroom

(12:12):
right this time, it gets the bubbling out. Listen to Jay,
it gets the turning and carrying on. And that has
still been thirty something years in this game. Why still
have to go I've bean like, wait a minute, wait
a minute this now, keep in mind, I got on
about three girdles, Okay, come out of oh to go

(12:33):
to this bathroom. But I still feel like it's the
first time, Wow, to walk out on that stage. It
is still like the first time for me because it
is because every single audience is a different audience.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
You never walk out to the same audience.

Speaker 4 (12:52):
You You never walk out, So it is the first
time every single time I walk out, and I still
get that same feeling.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
So how do you keep how do you keep your
your your your set fresh? How do you keep it fresh?
Because when you came to Birmingham, you killed it. I
mean you killed it. You were talking about this, you
were talking about that you got there, the lady coming
up on the stage, dass, you killed it. And I
saw another set when you was in I think Miami,
y'all was in Miami. Different set. That's so, how do

(13:23):
you keep the set fresh? How do you keep it lit? Live?

Speaker 2 (13:29):
I allow the gift to do what it does.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (13:31):
And I say that humbly, okay, and I'm grateful for
that gift.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
I allow it to do what it does with no judgment.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (13:41):
I've never judged myself while I was on stage on
TV and the movies, because I understand.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
It's not mine.

Speaker 4 (13:49):
It's something that was given to me, and when my
time is up, then it goes somewhere else.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
But I am.

Speaker 4 (13:56):
I am grateful for the gift of it. So when
I walk out on that stage, I always this is
the last thing I say in my prayer as I'm
going out, give me.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
The words wow, that's it? Wow? Yeah? Where is those favorite?
What is your favorite? Ceriling to perform all of them? Wow?

Speaker 2 (14:15):
All of them?

Speaker 1 (14:15):
Baby?

Speaker 4 (14:16):
As I perform in back Mississippi, to the casinos in Vegas,
to ever it is, it's my favorite because again, when
you understand that it was a gift that was given
to you, you cannot pick and choose. Right the universe
will say, oh, really, well, how come that one's your

(14:39):
favorite and this one's not your favorite? Because the gift
to be the favorite everywhere, So everywhere is my favorite.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
Right And speaking of Mississippi, one of my favorite comany
specials is one of my top three favorite coming specials
of all time. It's Monique One Night Staying was it
Tuoper Loow Mississippi? Yes, man, I love that I watched
that on twov at least once a week. I love that.
The way they bought you off that stage, I love that.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
Let me tell you.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
When they lifted my ass up on that thing, I
was like, we gotta switch one of them out because
he's okay, he's shaking, baby, and I'm shaking. And what
Joe will not do is drop my whole behind off
this platform. But it was, you know, it was I

(15:27):
had I think I had just got finished filming Fat Girls.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (15:30):
So that's where that idea came from, was to put
me up on this.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
Oh wow, yeah wow.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
And speaking of that, was that your first comedy special?

Speaker 4 (15:45):
I don't think so, Jay, And please don't ask me
when was the first one? Listen at fifty seven babies
some of them sounds up here said I quit.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
I quit because another one of my favorites is I
could have been a sale lead and you in and
you talked to those sisters. What was that like?

Speaker 3 (16:04):
That was.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Probably one of the happiest and saddest.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
Wow at the same time, because I was there on
Mother's Day, Wow, and not one visitor, not one visitor
showed up. The happiest was to still see those women
in the midst of their turmoil in their life, to
be able to laugh, to be able to feel human,

(16:34):
to be able to hug and be loved up on.
And I get loved up on back. And I got
to tell you their part y'all didn't see. I was
able to go to death row.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
Oh wow.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Right.

Speaker 4 (16:47):
And when I got to death row and the warden
at the time she was such a beautiful sister. When
you're on death row, you can't be touched, like there's
no human touch.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
At least at that prison.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
And two women were on death road and they were
standing back from the bars.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
She said, Monique, I cannot open.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Up these bars.

Speaker 4 (17:08):
I said, okay, I said, baby, put your hands through.
She was like, Monique, you can't touch them. I said,
yes I can, Yes I can. And me and those
sisters held each other's hand.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Baby.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
We laughed, we cried.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
You know. They told me that, they told me why.

Speaker 4 (17:25):
They were there, and here's what was beautiful, Jay. Both
of them said, I'm supposed to be here, Monique. Wow,
So please no.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Sad tears for me.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
Wow. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
So you know it was. It was a very happy moment,
but a very sad moment at the same time.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Wow, So what is the nets comedy special?

Speaker 2 (17:45):
I just had one for I came on here with you.

Speaker 4 (17:49):
Special in Nick's Household every day, every morning, every night
there comedy on Jay.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
You know, I don't know, Wow, I don't know when
it'll be televised for y'all. But I can't go on
in this office.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
Look, so let's talk about the Deliverance. Yes, what was that? Like?
That was a great movie.

Speaker 4 (18:17):
You know, Lee Daniels is a genius when it.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
Comes to.

Speaker 4 (18:25):
That that thing, like he's gifted in that thing, right,
And I just give you the whole backstory. Okay, So
everybody was nervous. Everybody was nervous except for me and Lee.
And they were nervous because they knew me and Lee's history.
They knew, you know, all that it went down, and
people had just heard that I was so difficult, that

(18:46):
I was all these things. And so when I showed
up and it was go time, and I was like,
mister Daniels, you ready, he said, my mind, let's do it.
Everybody relaxed because they didn't know what were we going
to be delivered or what was going to have it?

Speaker 2 (19:01):
But playing that and watching all your day be just brilliant.
And the kids Glenn close.

Speaker 4 (19:12):
You know, to be in the company of an icon
and icons in the making, wow. And I won't use
icon because that word is tricky, icon icon, Joe ass
and to believe, So I don't want to use that
word to a legend and legends in the making. It was,

(19:37):
it was, It was beautiful.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
It was.

Speaker 4 (19:41):
And and the little boy, the baby. To watch this
baby take a direction and then hit it like he
had been doing it forever. So to do the deliverance
with my friend, with my brother, it was it was beautiful,
you know, it was beautiful. And with Audra and bless

(20:03):
my sweet sister. When he would say cut, she would
still be in and I said, uh huh, off of you.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
He's like, no, which one do you like better? You
might perform in the I mean you might stand up
or you like acting.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
Stand Up is my first love. Stand up is my
first lover. Stand up is my first fight. Stand up
is my first everything. And the very first night that
I walked on stage. And I've always loved at tension okay,

(20:44):
and most people won't say that out loud. As a
little girl, I was like, look at me. I don't
give a damn. Who else in the room?

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Look at me?

Speaker 1 (20:51):
Baby?

Speaker 2 (20:52):
Can't you see look at me?

Speaker 4 (20:54):
So the first night being on that stage and everybody
was looking at me, and everyone was laughing and everyone
was applauding. I got hooked that night. Wow, And I said,
that's where I'm supposed to be. I knew I would
be famous. Yeah, I knew that.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
At what I didn't know, but I knew. I appreciated.

Speaker 4 (21:18):
When I saw the Jackson five and the Jackson five
was running through the crowd and the people were screaming
and trying to grab them, I was like, Oh, I
want that to happen to me. I want to run
through the crowd and I want the people to.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
Scream and grab at me. Don't that sounds crazy? Stand up?

Speaker 4 (21:38):
Stand up is my first life. It's my first love
because stand up is instant. TV, movies, books, everything waits
for a review, everything waits. But stand up, baby, you
get it in that moment. You don't have to wait
for nothing. Either it worked or it didn't.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
Like that, I'm gonna tell you this. I'm a stand
up I did stand up you know, earlier on before
I did the podcast. That's what led up to the podcast.
I did stand up and I went back to do
stand up after the pandemic and I got on stage.
I told and I hadn't did it since I told
this joke. I said, I hadn't been to any concerts
since the pandemic. What they're doing now, throw your maskin

(22:17):
the ad way money, just don't care. I got booed
on stage, No, Jay, I did. I knew I did,
and they send me officer to do stand up now.
But I don't really I like this right here. You know,
this is it talking to talking to legends, this is it.
This is so fun, and this is so this is
so fun, you know.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
I know.

Speaker 4 (22:38):
For me personally, I know a lot of talented people, right,
but I know very few gifted me. Wow, there's a
lot of talented people in comedy. There's very few gifted
people in common. So I understand it when people say, oh,
I did it, but you know I walked away from it,

(23:01):
because that's wasn't that's not the gift, that's not the purpose.
Because for me, you can't walk away from it, right.
It is your gift. It is what the universe has said.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
You are ordained to do this, So you can't walk
away from it. For me, I can't. Will I have
a retire.

Speaker 4 (23:22):
No, right, even if that means I do a show
in my family group.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
For my grandchildren. Wow, I will always have the gift of.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Laughter, right. And that's how I feel about this show
right here, because, like you, honestly you're my first interview back.
I've been off for nine months, you know, I was
going through something and I actually literally started my show
back yesterday and I knew it was confirmation when I
sent another email and reached out again and they were like, yes,
we're all for Tuesday, and I'm like, wow, let me
get back to work. That's how I feel about this,

(23:54):
Like I do this so and for me to be
so young and me to have you know, my show
is aired on ABC. I've had shows on Fox, you know,
I've done stand up here at the start on Locally,
you know, headlined you know, so this is just it's
just confirmation. I just love this, you know. I love
talking to people. I love engaging you know this, this

(24:16):
I think this is my purpose.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
Right.

Speaker 4 (24:17):
Yeah, when you do what you love, it's not working, right,
it's fun. Yeah, And that's why I said I'll never retire.
It's not work it is. It is your purpose, you know,
and like you said, I love doing this and when
you love it, you never walk away from it.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
Right right now, let's talk about the queens of comedy
for me.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Let's talk about it.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Man with Monique and Memphis, Tennessee. Oh my god, how
was that like the queen? Because you know, I didn't
I honestly don't think that the Queen's got to get
the recognition that you guys deserve. You guys, did you
women did something that it was unheard at that point

(25:00):
in time. Four black women on a major headlining tour
going connect with these brothers. That's unheard of, And I
personally feel as if it's swept up under the rug
a lot. You know, I see the recognition that the
kings get, but we can't forget about the queens. You know.

Speaker 4 (25:18):
Wow, that's just unfortunately, that's the society we live in.
That's the community that we live in. Oftentimes, black women.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Get hidden in history and you don't know about us,
and you don't hear about us until.

Speaker 4 (25:33):
We're dead and gone, and we didn't transition somewhere else
in the spirit of us have come back through somebody else.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
You're like well, damn, it's about time.

Speaker 4 (25:41):
But you know, with the Queens of Comedy, we made history, right,
and it's never been done again. Right, It's never been
done again. And it was a moment in time. Yeah,
and it was a very proud.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
Moment in time. Baby.

Speaker 4 (25:57):
It was to be on the state with some of
the funniest women to ever hold a microphone. I'll always
cherish it, i will always treasure it, and I'll always
honor those other black sisters that was up there with
me because every night we hit the stage, we were
such cheerleaders everybody, and we made a pack that we

(26:20):
would never leave the stage. So whoever came off, we
were always standing right there on the side of the stage.
Nobody could see us, but we were always standing there
being each other's cheerleaders because we knew what we were doing.
We knew that we were making history. So it was
it was incredible.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
You know.

Speaker 4 (26:39):
It wasn't always the best with the promoter. Okay, okay, Jay,
let me tell you something. I like, I can't believe
you told that damn story. One night they owe me
about fifty cent. People were like, I can't believe you

(27:00):
wouldn't take five hundred thousand dollars. I wouldn't take nothing. Listen,
they owe me fifty cent j and I said, now
till you give it to me. I'm very serious. I'm
so damn serious. Y'all can go ahead and stop the show.
I need all of my money because you want all
of my time. And I don't play with contracts, and

(27:21):
I think that too. A lot of times people in
the entertainment business will say, well, just this time, well
you and you can't let that slide.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
No I can't.

Speaker 4 (27:32):
I can't because in letting things slide and letting things go,
fifty cent becomes fifty dollars, fifty dollars becomes five hundred,
five hundred becomes five thousand, five thousand becomes fifty Give
me my fifty cent, Walter Lathonay, did you go ahead?

(27:52):
I remember one night this is when with the kings, right,
the Kings and the queens.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
Theudge Georgia wore right.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
No, this was we were torn.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
Oh cool, cool, cool cool.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
And all the kings had their own limos.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (28:10):
So when it's time for us to be picked up,
there's one car.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
I said, I'm fat.

Speaker 4 (28:16):
Lord, fat, jealous, big smalls medium. We will not I
said I won't, said I will not. You better pull
up three other cars up here, but we will not
perform tonight. They was like, one to go, you serious,
I am why wouldn't we have our own cars? And
I was not trying to be difficult, but what I

(28:36):
was saying is you will treat us equally and fairly
because all of us had assistants managers, So you want
all of us to pile on this one car.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
We won't.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (28:47):
You know, it's just things like it's things like that
for me that you got us speak up for.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
Because it's not they'll continue to do.

Speaker 4 (28:55):
It, and they'll be like, when you let us do
it the first ten times, you can't do it with
me one time.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
So I didn't know that the Kings and Queen's tours.
I only thought that y'all did one big show at
the Georgia World. So y'all did a tour together.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
We did a tour together, the Kings and Queens of Comedy.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
Before the Queen's Special. After the Queen Special, Oh oh exactly.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
I think that was after Oh wow.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
I thought that the Kings had broke up after the
they did their big movie.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
Once we did the Jordan them. I think was the
last one.

Speaker 4 (29:29):
Oh wow, that was forty four thousand people. Wow, okay, wow,
don't imagine what it's like walking out to forty four.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
It was such a moment and you're standing there and
you're getting all of the just oh.

Speaker 4 (29:50):
It was just such a beautiful moment and a beautiful time.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
Wow, Oh my god, that had to be lovely.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yeah it was.

Speaker 1 (29:59):
Wow. That had to be lovely. I wish Walter would
put that out, so he put everything else, but he
won't put that out.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
But the Kings and Queens.

Speaker 4 (30:06):
Yeah, he better not.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
That's not on contract. I caught out. Baby, you would
not put it out.

Speaker 4 (30:18):
Jay, you know, I assue your ass.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
Paper.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
Look, so would you do another Queens to Today with
because all everybody's still around? Will just do.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
And I'll tell you why. It was a special moment,
right right right.

Speaker 4 (30:40):
It was a special moment, and I think sometimes special
moments should stay in that moment. Wow, it was just
a special moment and I appreciated that moment.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
Yeah, that was the Queen's Special. That was wow. I
love watching the special. Yeah, that was amazing. Let me
ask you this, how do you think about the what
about the a how the Hollywood studios are using AI
to portray actors now like the name enlighteness. I saw
an article yesterday how some studio in Hollywood is something

(31:19):
that was just been dead and they're trying to bring
them back. Use me, how do you feel about that?

Speaker 2 (31:27):
It's I think it's tricky. Wow, I think it's dangerous.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (31:33):
There used to be a saying, believe none of what
you hear in half of what you see. Right now,
don't believe none of what you hear, and none of
what you see this shit is real or democrats or replace.
You don't know what you're looking at, you know, And
it takes away from the person and the people that

(31:55):
has when the school with it studied it, you know,
did all these things. And now you can create this
person and say go be a star, and you don't
have to pay them, you don't have to feed them,
you don't have to clean them.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
Look, I sound like the color purple. You can't have nutty,
but you can have you know. I think that.

Speaker 4 (32:18):
And the question gets asked, why, like how much money
do y'all need exactly?

Speaker 2 (32:25):
How much?

Speaker 1 (32:26):
How much?

Speaker 2 (32:27):
What is it that we're going for? What?

Speaker 1 (32:29):
What?

Speaker 2 (32:30):
What are we trying to do twenty years from now,
what will it look like?

Speaker 4 (32:34):
You know, what will you be looking at? Will you
be looking at a real person and not real person?
So you know, I think AI is cute, but I
don't think it should take over humans.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
Right, and let me just say this, You're not AI
right now on this joke. Let's talk about The Parkers
for a second, because that was That's one of the
greatest shows in history that that doesn't get the respect
of it and it's still airs. I was watching it

(33:06):
last bight on cable television. It's still airs. So let's
talk about that. What was that like? What was that
experience like doing that? Because that's was.

Speaker 4 (33:19):
My first taste. Wow, okay, and it was everything. Let
me say this, becoming famous was everything.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
I thought it would be. Wow.

Speaker 4 (33:35):
It was pulling up to that studio and the guard
at the guard gate would say hey, miss Monique, and
I'd be like, hey baby, And I remember I used
to get these emails. Right They would say, if you're
here for the Parkers, walk outside the gate and walk
over through the parking lot. Well, there is no Hollywood

(33:58):
one on one, there is no class where they say
this is what you is nothing. They just think you're
just supposed to get it. So I would park outside
the gate j and walk through the parking lot every
time I showed up till one day a brother named
Jimmy Tripp was driving a golf cart across the parking lot.

(34:19):
Walking across the parking lot, he said, my nigg, why
are you walking across the parking lot. I said, oh,
because look, I'm just as prepped.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
Email said, you know, if.

Speaker 4 (34:30):
You're here for the podcast, you gotta walk over. He
bust out laughing and said, you're on the golf cart.
I want to show you something. I said, Okay, I
got on the golf cart Jay and he pulled me
up to my parking space with my name on it outside.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
The studio door.

Speaker 4 (34:47):
He said, baby girl, you're one of the stars of
the show. They're not talking to you.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (34:56):
I was like, well, no one told me trip like,
I was just following rules and park my ass outside.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Okay. I can remember.

Speaker 4 (35:08):
Like the first I'll say, the first month of taping,
I was coming from stand up. There were no acting classes,
there was no acting coach that it was just go
you're here. So when you come from stand up there
is no supporting cast. There are no writers, there's no executives.
You were just used to being the center of attention. Kay,

(35:31):
So I would be on that stage, baby, being the
center of attention.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
I was doing that.

Speaker 3 (35:38):
Yay.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
Listen.

Speaker 4 (35:39):
I was saying, oh, baby, I knew everybody's lines. If
you watch the Parkers back, like the first season, watch
my mouth. I'm saying their words to know when it's
my time. So if you watch me, I'm like, hey,
what I said. So Dorian Wilson pulled me up one

(36:01):
day and I'm so grateful to him. He said, Monique,
the show is just not about you. You had a
cast of people around me, which means you have to share.
And I said, I didn't even He said, I know.
You come from the stand up world, and that taught

(36:22):
me so much just in that brief conversation. He was like,
you've got to share that. And I'm so loving for
that because I took that for the rest of my
TV and film career and understanding when you're in this space,
there's a team. When you're on the stage, that's just you.
So those moments, Jay, you know, was absolutely incredible.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
Man, Like.

Speaker 4 (36:49):
I never stopped being that little girl standing in the mirror,
saying one day, every day I would pull up to
that studio and I would go in there and they
would and hair makeup and the clothes, and somebody would
come in with the script, and you know, it was
just wow, I'm here so to watch the Parkers.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
Now and have my.

Speaker 4 (37:12):
Three year old granddaughter say I want to watch grandmommy.
She doesn't notice the Parkers. Wow, So she says, can
you turn on Grandmammy? My son will sending the video.
He just sent me a video the other night, her
saying I want to see grandmammy. I want to see Grandmammy.
That is the absolute best. And for some reason, my

(37:35):
granddaughter thinks that Octavia Spencer, her grandmother, is the same person.
I'm like, I tell you, I don't know what you're
doing through that screen, but when you come home with
my granddaughter, go.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
Up to it to my grandmother, that is not your grandmother, girl, but.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
It is you know, the Parkers. Even now.

Speaker 4 (37:56):
When my seven year old grandson says, come on, grandma,
let's watch the Parkers.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
And we watched it.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
If that's not me, it's Nicky Parker, right, NICKI Parker
lost you.

Speaker 4 (38:08):
You got to pay us our money, baby, You've got money.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
We signed up for that. Yeah. Wow. So at the
end of the season, at the end of the show,
you married Professor over there.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
Yes, what was that?

Speaker 1 (38:27):
Because you know, because as a viewer, it felt like,
you know, you was trying to get Professor Ogiber, You're
trying everything get Professor Okabe, then you were trying to
get married. And he came and said, I love Nikki Parker.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
That's what he said.

Speaker 1 (38:41):
And then I saw this interesting thing on TikTok. You know,
I don't do conspiracy theories, but they was like, you
remember one episode, Professor had a twin somewhere and they
and they were saying that the twins got swapped out
and that the real Professor actually loved you and the
twin didn't. And they then the river Puss came back

(39:01):
at the end of the season.

Speaker 4 (39:03):
Ain't no damn conspiracy girls, Now that queen played in
one episode, right.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
We will come up with something, Monty Jay with something.
You know.

Speaker 4 (39:19):
This is why I think people got confused with Niki
Parker r. Other men loved Niki Parker. Nikki Parker just
loved Professor Stanley Ogilvie. It wasn't like it was this
because they were saying, Oh, she's this big woman and

(39:39):
she chasing this man around. I'm like, y'all only saw
what you wanted to see. Y'all didn't see her get
engaged to. Nicki Parker was that girl outfit.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
Nicky Parker was that girl.

Speaker 4 (39:53):
It was that girl, and that girl just happened to
love that man. And I was saying, if you really
paid attention to it, if you are persistent, and if
you are.

Speaker 2 (40:07):
Committed and dedicated to.

Speaker 4 (40:09):
Loving somebody, now don't slip in the starting because that'll
send your ass. Okay, I'm surprised Nikki Parker never got
locked up. She was taking in this house the baby
was I mean, she was not giving up, but you
see how it happened at the end, right, she got
playing baby.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
So if you learned a lesson from that show, never
give up.

Speaker 4 (40:34):
You got to do it even though she was getting
ready to get married, because she was trying to put
it in her mind like I gotta move on, I
gotta move on to and Joe said, Oh, we're gonna last.

Speaker 2 (40:46):
That's what it was, like what you say all dreams
come true?

Speaker 1 (40:55):
Wow, So let's talk about your relationship with that deal,
let's go there next. You know she has gone on,
she's passed. So what was y'all? Friendship and bun like?
Is your your on screen chemistry was.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
No different than off screen?

Speaker 1 (41:11):
Wow?

Speaker 4 (41:12):
No different than off screen? Baby Evet Wilson. Wow was
slid like Ivette Wilson was pure baby like she was.
She was the friend that everybody wanted.

Speaker 1 (41:26):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
She was just a pure spirit.

Speaker 4 (41:28):
She was just a beautiful sister. It was just like
it was on screen. It's just like it was off screen. Wow,
no different? Yeah, yeah, we hung out.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
Huh I hear she was a beautiful soul.

Speaker 2 (41:42):
Yes, yes she was. Wow, and yes she is. We
just transition.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
We never go right right right right? So will we
begining a Parker's reunion?

Speaker 2 (41:53):
No, because let me tell you.

Speaker 4 (41:57):
Why that will and cannot be there. Wow, So we
cannot do a reunion if everybody's not there, I'm not
willing to do that, right. It's like if everybody can't play,
nobody plays.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
Right. Let's talk about your fight with Paramount. If you
won't talk about that, talk about it. So let's talk
about the fight with Paramount, because of course you would
treat it. You know, they thought they can just do
what they wanted to do, and Manie said, it ain't
gonna happen. So let's talk about that for men. Let's
let's stend to detail about that.

Speaker 2 (42:33):
Well, you know, I'll talk about the history.

Speaker 4 (42:37):
When you see good Times, nobody in their families benefit
from that.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (42:44):
When you see Sandford and Son, no one benefits from that.
When you see most sitcoms and I won't even say black,
when you see most sitcoms that go on forever and
ever and ever and ever, oftentimes they don't benefit from that.

Speaker 2 (43:02):
Right.

Speaker 4 (43:03):
Well, Countess Vonn and I have ownership in The Parkers.
We're only asking for what we signed up for. Just
give us what we signed up for. And as of today,
that show is made north of two billion dollars.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
In profit in profit.

Speaker 1 (43:21):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (43:21):
Okay, so Counts Vonn and I own two and a
half percent. Wow A piece a piece? Wow, you did
a math.

Speaker 1 (43:33):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (43:34):
So when my granddaughter says I want to watch Grandmamy,
the time will come with she will be a grandmother
and that show will still be on the air somewhere
and I will have long transition. But I'd be damn
if your family can eat and my family can't no.

(43:55):
So yes, we're still in the midst of it, and
oftentimes people will say it. And I've had people say
to me.

Speaker 2 (44:02):
For years, let this go, let that go, leave it alone,
leave this alone.

Speaker 4 (44:07):
Do you know why this country is in the state
of affairs that's in right now because we let shit
go right because we didn't say nothing, because we didn't
want to ruffle no feathers, because we didn't want those
people to be mad, be mad, don't like me, turn
me off?

Speaker 2 (44:23):
Listen.

Speaker 4 (44:24):
That is my image. That is Countess Vaughan's image. So
if your babies are eating, shouldn't our babies eat too?

Speaker 2 (44:33):
That's it.

Speaker 4 (44:34):
That's and and and and here's the thing. When you're
in a fight, people think you mad, think you're bitter,
ye ain'ngry?

Speaker 1 (44:42):
What damn it?

Speaker 2 (44:43):
Shouldn't we be.

Speaker 1 (44:46):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (44:47):
Shouldn't maybe all those things? Would you be if you
didn't get your money? That's all? This is what we're
supposed to get, that's all.

Speaker 1 (44:58):
Wow, So thing I told you that the top of
the show. One thing I really love about you is
your fed and how you stand up for what most
people are skilled to stand up for it. That's something
I will forever respect. And you know recently you and
Lee Daniels, he didn't deliver you. You guys came back
together and you guys are working together again. So what
was that experience like? Because I love Lee Daniels, but

(45:20):
I wouldn't like in Lee Dames that he was messing
with my mama. You know how.

Speaker 4 (45:26):
Well you're You're a young baby, so I don't know
if you've experienced this yet.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
You know how you can know a person.

Speaker 4 (45:34):
And they just get caught like they just make a
left time down the wrong street. But you know them,
and you know the conversations you've had. You know the
tears you've watched them cry. You know, you know the
fights and the hurts.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
That they've been through. That was Leah and I I
know my.

Speaker 4 (45:54):
Brother and I know my brother's family, and he comes
from some good, god damn people. Baby, Lee Daniels come
from that good stop, from Aunt Doc to his mama,
to his sister Lee and to his babies.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
He come from good people.

Speaker 4 (46:07):
So I knew the moment he put down the kool aid,
he was going to come around. Though it took his
ass twelve years, Jay Walker, and I told him, you're
long enough to put down the damn kol aid, But
I knew my friend. I knew my friend, and I
knew if I kept talking it was going to weigh
on him. And he told me, Baby, walking down that

(46:29):
river one day when we went for a walk, when
we were filming the Deliverance.

Speaker 2 (46:32):
He said, bitch, why didn't you just be quiet? That's
what he said to me, Jay, And I said.

Speaker 4 (46:40):
Lee, had I been quiet, you and I wouldn't be
walking down this river. I said, And I knew you
wasn't sleeping good at night because I know your heart,
and I know that you're pure, and I know your family,
and I knew your family was on your ass until
you made it right. And he said, yeah, they absolutely were.
I knew my friend, and I wasn't willing to stop

(47:04):
fighting for my friend, right.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:07):
Wow. And I'm like, I said, I'm glad y'all are.
Maybe we can get some more movies out of this.
Maybe you never know what Lee and out together.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
It's just we can't explain it. It's just magic. Wow,
it is magic.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
It really is.

Speaker 2 (47:21):
When we are together, Baby, it's a lot of laughter.

Speaker 4 (47:25):
It is a lot of he screams to the set.
He back in video village. I'm on camera. Okay, mama, mama, Okay.
Oh that shit you just did was fun. I'm like,

Speaker 1 (47:45):
We become two kids. Wow. Yeah, I love that because
you can tell the chemistry right, like you can just tell,
you know, I saw y'all in the press run. You
can just tell like it's so much love. There's so
much love. And you know, let's if you don't mind,
can we talk about the open situations of course? Okay,
So where do you an open stand? To this day, we.

She's still running from you. Come on, come on across
the street, stop playing, you know, Motel said, And I said,

Bring your ass on across the street. You know, I
love you.

Speaker 1 (48:33):
You know, go ahead, you go ahead.

Speaker 4 (48:36):
No, you know, people and I hear this, Let it go, Monique.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
Let me tell you how much I love Oprah Winfrey.

Speaker 4 (48:48):
Oprah Winfrey was the person that when I saw her
on a local TV show in Baltimore, Maryland, where I'm from,
I said, that's what I want to be. I want
to be that what that woman was doing, because she
was the first woman who looked like me. She was fat,
she was black, she had big shoulders, she had big feet,

(49:12):
she had a big mouth, and she was unapologetic about
using it. And I was like, wow, there it is.
So I'm forever grateful for that woman, Like I have
no hatred in my heart. I have no hatred nor
no bitterness.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
And I love her so much. Is why I'm saying, system.

Speaker 4 (49:31):
Make it right, because if you don't make it right,
you will be dealt with. And people don't get that
part the universe misses nothing. It misses nothing. So I'm saying,
for your soul, super soul, Sunday, what I know for sure,
all the titles that my.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
Sister has, then I need you to walk in it.
I believe what you tell them. How can you sell
it and you don't even believe it?

Speaker 4 (50:01):
Oh, I love her so much that I'm saying I'm
going to stay on your ass until you make it right.
And here's my humble opinion.

Speaker 2 (50:09):
I'm not the only one. You gotta make stuff right, wet,
that's my.

Speaker 4 (50:12):
Humble opinion, because you don't just do that and it's
your first time and you don't just throw somebody under
the bus and you've never done it before. And again,
let me say, in my humble opinion, there's a lot
of nicking like that woman gotta do. And oftentimes what
will happen is they'll write big checks and they'll publicize
see what I did, See how good I am? That's

(50:35):
our brother, Tyler. I paid somebody's house off. I pay
for everybody's taxes. O can you pay me my money?
All this paying shit and you're doing all these goods,
could you please make sure you've fixed the line hold
on knee Tyler. So when people say, Monique, let that go. Oh,
she's been telling that story for.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
A long time.

Speaker 4 (50:57):
I will tell it till I no longer have breath,
they fix it. And if they do not fix in
the national transition, I've given my children permission. Don't keep
it going. Keep it going, brand daughter. You see them
two people right, dare mister Tyler?

Speaker 2 (51:18):
I need you to say, when.

Speaker 1 (51:19):
You're gonna make it right with my grandmama. Yeah, you
have this joke. All you said, tell me, Madea gonna
tell Tyler come outside and talk to you.

Speaker 2 (51:29):
I mean it, Medea is real. Madea's a.

Speaker 4 (51:34):
I okay, I either told Tyler, I said, Tyler, get
your ass off the phone and put mydell on the phone.
Madeah has value, Medea has good character. Medea keeps it
very real. It's like, listen, when you, me and Tyler
Perry do talk, I'm gonna tell them, go put your
dress on. I'll put your things on. I'll put your

(51:56):
things on because I can talk to her. You you
too busy trying to be a boss. You're trying to
be a bigger man. You're trying to run people and
run ship and take all ship. Go get Madea, go,
get Medea, both of us. I have our pistols with
us in case Tyler showed back up. Okay, and then
we've got the time, sit down, sit down this between
mo Nick and Medea to Medea, Yeah yeah, I mean that.

Speaker 1 (52:20):
I see Thyla's being sued down by some white man.
Said well, some dude said that.

Speaker 4 (52:26):
That's what he said. And again, let me be very
clear about something when it comes to that, I'm gonna
always play people fairly. Tyler Perry is innocent until he
is proven. Right now, I'm gonna keep it fair that
my brother is innocent until he's proven guilty. Now we

(52:47):
proved its as guilty with me. When you can audio tape,
you can hear him saying I did that.

Speaker 2 (52:52):
I like, But some people still said, Nick, why would
you do that? Y'all?

Speaker 4 (52:59):
It's if I just said he said it, you always
say no, he didn't you just saying that.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
Well, I proved that he said it.

Speaker 4 (53:06):
And in our community, unfortunately, Jay, this is unfortunate. If
you have money, the truth does not matter. It doesn't
if you have money. And what people deem as power. Now,
I'm very careful with this word power because I ain't
seen nobody powerful live forever. I ain't seen him be
deaf yet, right, And that's when I consider you powerful

(53:29):
when you look at me and say I'm two hundred
and fifty. If let's say you start just floating the
am like now now, now, now that bitch right there,
powerful But until I see that you have some more
power than no one else, and I won't play that
game with you.

Speaker 1 (53:48):
And I'm gonna just say this, did he prove that.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
You have no more power than anybody else? Not? All
a perception?

Speaker 4 (53:56):
And what happens is we buy into it. Oh, they
can give me an opportunity. Oh, they can give me
a chance with money, because if you have no character,
that money doesn't matter. I know some people that live
in the biggest houses, Jay, they're billionaires. They have everything,
but at the same time nothing at all. And that's

(54:20):
my sister, Oprah. I won't back down from that. That's
why I say I love her so much to say,
you are the poor little rich girl. You have everything
that somebody could think of in this lifetime. Homes on
all parts of the world, any kind of car you
want to drive, private planes, and chefs and all the
things hours, But now, what do.

Speaker 1 (54:43):
You have.

Speaker 4 (54:45):
When all the lights go out and there are no
cameras and there's no people to applaud you, what do
you have? And that's what we keep overlooking because oh,
she can put me in a movie. Oh she can
write a check. Oh she can build a school. But
what does she have?

Speaker 2 (55:04):
Y'all?

Speaker 4 (55:06):
And when you see a lot of our sisters making
their vision boards and and write down Oprah quotes, be careful, careful,
be careful who's feeding your soul? Because what is she
really feeding business? Talk to me about being loved and

(55:27):
loving that. Talk to me about your man holding you
at knight and you got cramps and your belly and
you can't get up. Talk to me about when your
man is sick and you're rubbing his back, or your
woman however it.

Speaker 2 (55:38):
Goes with her.

Speaker 4 (55:39):
Talk to me about loving somebody and being loved back.
I don't ever want to exclude nobody, Jay, because love
is love.

Speaker 2 (55:46):
Love between her and my sister girl is beautiful and
it's special, and I respect it. I'm gonna tell you that.
I'm so listen ahead, I'm gonna tell you them.

Speaker 4 (56:03):
I've help my best girlfriend, were to abow money. Where
we're going pick me and my husband?

Speaker 1 (56:09):
Way? What are you still doing here?

Speaker 2 (56:12):
Every time I turn around?

Speaker 1 (56:13):
Damn you right?

Speaker 4 (56:14):
Well, we're going on road trips together, boating, got together,
hers together, parties together.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
Oh damn.

Speaker 1 (56:24):
Oh the floor.

Speaker 4 (56:27):
On special thing I've ever seen, Jay, I'm talking about
I got friendships that's been over thirty five years. Me
and my husband been best friend since tenth grade.

Speaker 1 (56:36):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (56:37):
Me and collect none, we've been best friends for over
thirty five years. We met when my son was one
year old.

Speaker 1 (56:43):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (56:43):
Me and Tommy, we've been friends for almost fifteen years.
But let me tell you something. Okay to our families
to our families. So it's a special thing. I ain't
never seen nothing like it, Jay in my life. But

(57:04):
won't nobody speak on it because I wurn't money. Now,
let me say this, James. We lived around the neighborhood
and it was Miss Bernice and Miss Paul Letter. And
we always saw Miss Bernice and Miss Paul Letter together.
Whenever you saw Miss Bernice, you saw.

Speaker 2 (57:20):
Miss Paul Letter. Even though Miss Paul Letter got her
damn husband.

Speaker 4 (57:25):
Whatever wherever they was, they was together, Jane, they was
never not together Miss Bernice and Miss Paulater. Now you know,
Miss Jenkin's gonna speak on it. I heard that into that,
but that funny thing, that's what Miss Jens. I heard
that into that funny thing. I don't even understand that.
Bernice got a maze. Every time turning around she's up

(57:47):
and Paul Letter face.

Speaker 2 (57:50):
No, that's miss Jingas. Miss Jenks's gonna tell her. She's
gonna tell her.

Speaker 1 (57:53):
Oh so sweet.

Speaker 4 (57:56):
But because it's Opraen Gale, it's just this. Yes, it's beautiful.

Speaker 1 (58:03):
Wow. And one thing I really don't appreciate. See, you've
been speaking about in quality forever and recently everybody's coming
out speaking about in quality is but the tip on
this train, how does that? How does that make you feel?
Is speaking about it forever?

Speaker 2 (58:16):
I'm not surprised, right, Historically, that's what we do.

Speaker 4 (58:21):
We have to select the package that we want the
message to come through. If it's not the package that
is approved of, we won't hear the message. Her name
is Rosa Parks and her name is Claude ate Covin.
Same thing, we keep repeating, the same thing. That's why
I will not go away. Y'all will not make me

(58:43):
feel the value. You will not make me feel worthless.
You will not make me feel like my word does
not matter. And that's what happened with our beautiful sister
Claude at Covin. Because Rosa Park's skin was lighter and
she could be more acceptable to the white people. They
told Claude at COVID, you just go sit down somewhere,
and they made up a story. Oh, she was pregnant

(59:03):
at the time. I wouldn't give a damn if she
was having the baby. She was still mistreated. But see Claude,
that Covin baby was a fighter. She didn't give a
damn about being accepted. It took four white men to
get off that bus because she said, today, I'm whipping
ass at fifteen years old. I'm whipping ass with my nappy,
had my dark ass skin, I'm looking all ass. But

(59:25):
they put Rosa Parks out in front of that because
of the NAACP, from my understanding, said that she would
be more acceptable. We keep doing the same thing, we
keep repeating history. And I don't know Jay that when
I'm transitioning to somewhere else, if someone may deem my

(59:45):
story important to tell it, what that little girl will
know is, Baby, I'm fighting for you as hard as
I can. I'm swinging for you till I have no
more strength to swing. And I wouldn't give a damn
Jay if it wasn't nobody standing next to me but
my beautiful husband and my family.

Speaker 2 (01:00:02):
Damn if wings swinging together. Wow, Yeah, I got I got.

Speaker 4 (01:00:06):
Grand babies, I got sons, I got a daughter. When
I'm no longer here and they look at me and
my husband's picture, what they will say is those two
right there for Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
They did. So let's talk about Monique's movement because I'm pumped.
I'm pumped movement. I'm loving Moniques Moving. I'm I'm loving it,
and you know I'm I'm I'm I'm joining Motiques Moving
because myself I got you know, I got diabetes and whatnot.
I'm overweight. You know I'm joining Monique's Moving. I'm starting.
I'm starting Monday.

Speaker 2 (01:00:38):
Start today, Monday. You might not see.

Speaker 1 (01:00:42):
That's the word.

Speaker 2 (01:00:43):
We may not see Monday, right, So what's happening today
that you can't start today?

Speaker 4 (01:00:47):
And excuse me, Jay, I'm having one of these Summer's Baby,
you wouldn't even understand it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:52):
It's work with me here at that you want.

Speaker 4 (01:00:54):
To start shining. I was like, Summer just said, I'm here.
I'm on you girl, William fifty seven, I'm half one
hundred plus seven, okay, playing with me?

Speaker 1 (01:01:06):
So yeah, let's talk about these movies. How did this
story had to come about?

Speaker 4 (01:01:09):
And what motivated the White and I have been together
now for twelve years.

Speaker 1 (01:01:13):
Wow?

Speaker 4 (01:01:14):
And you know what Jay gave me one second here
it's just so so unprofessional and I want to apologize. Hey, baby,
I'm amazing. Give me about ten minutes. I'm gonna hit
you right back. I'm in the middle of an interview.
I just didn't want to not pick up your car,
all right, theydy pick up the phone when I call
you back.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
Okay, I'm sorry, Jack.

Speaker 4 (01:01:38):
We have been dancing together and it was really saving
my life, sure right, And we have been talking about
it for years. What could we put together for free
for the people that it could do the same thing
for them that it was doing for me and it
is doing for me. And as I got older, I
didn't no longer want to do the hard or dance steps.

(01:02:02):
I wanted to do something that kept me moving. And
the wife said, well, let's do these steps. And that's how.

Speaker 2 (01:02:07):
Monique's movement was worn.

Speaker 4 (01:02:09):
And when I tell you, it's one of the best
things because the comments that we're getting from people and
the babies are saying, no, I'm sleeping better, I'm moving better,
I'm thinking better because Monique's movement it allows you to move.

Speaker 2 (01:02:29):
And that's all we's saying.

Speaker 4 (01:02:30):
If you don't use it, you will damn sure lose it, Okay,
And I don't care if you're twenty one, thirty one,
ninety one.

Speaker 2 (01:02:40):
If you do not use it, you will lose it.

Speaker 4 (01:02:43):
And because I'm still a young tender, I want to
be vibrant. I love the fact that I can run
around with my grandbabies. I love the fact that you know,
let me tell me, and my son went to New
York on time to see a play, right, and this woman.
We're sitting in the lounge and a woman brings over
a bible, champagne and two glasses. Okay, and she said,

(01:03:06):
I just wanted to bring you on your husband a
little something.

Speaker 2 (01:03:11):
I said, but you know that's not my husband. And
if you want to flirt with my son, just say that. Damn.

Speaker 4 (01:03:18):
But thank you for even thinking, baby, and I can
pull them that young.

Speaker 2 (01:03:26):
So moment's movement is it is? It has just become
life saving. Wow, it's become life saving. And I tell
people go to the YouTube.

Speaker 4 (01:03:37):
Channel at more Worldwide Official ticket, subscribe and start moving.
And it's at every level, no judgment, no insecurities, no intimidation.
It is you standing in your living room, your bedroom,
your bathroom, your basement, on your porch, wherever you are.

Speaker 2 (01:03:58):
Start moving.

Speaker 4 (01:04:00):
And when they say, well, Morney, I can't afford the gym,
there's no there's no gym membership money.

Speaker 2 (01:04:05):
I can't afford the trainer. There's no fee for this training.

Speaker 4 (01:04:09):
The white is certified expert of what he does, and
he's saying no charge. So there's no excuse and no
reason why. That's when you say I'm gonna stop Monday.
What's to day is Tuesday?

Speaker 1 (01:04:20):
Jay, You're right today, it's Tuesday.

Speaker 4 (01:04:24):
What you're doing on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

Speaker 1 (01:04:31):
My biggest thing is this, I gotta stop eating. Man.
You know, I love to eat. I love to eat
what my McDonald's order. I love to eat, and I
should be I'm and I'm actually gonna be the same
to show you this, unt. I'm going to show you
this anyway. You know, I adore That's a.

Speaker 2 (01:04:50):
Lot, no.

Speaker 4 (01:04:54):
Jay, you know why I refused the door dash. I
refuse because I don't know the energy of the person
that's touching the bag in the winter day, A big mac, a.

Speaker 2 (01:05:09):
Double lfe, A two nicked double Well, damn, who was
hiding on that? Jay?

Speaker 1 (01:05:16):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:05:20):
What?

Speaker 1 (01:05:22):
I gee? You know, I don't know. When I was
depressed a few months ago, I was I just gave
this thing to eating like that just kind of calmed
my nerves of eating, and I just thought my eating
get out of the control. Even now, you know, or
to school, you think it's for a family, you know
what I'm saying. And that's like I'm trying to lose weight,
you know, but it's so hard. I'm trying my best.
So I understand it's a mental thing, you know.

Speaker 4 (01:05:45):
It's I understand, and you know what I do often, Jay,
when I'm getting in the shower or out of the shower,
I look.

Speaker 2 (01:05:52):
In that mirror and me and that person had real conversation.

Speaker 4 (01:05:56):
Wow, and she says to me, you talk about being
an elderly person and when you get there, so you've
got to make some changes or you'll never get a
chance to.

Speaker 2 (01:06:07):
Meet the elderly person inside of you.

Speaker 4 (01:06:10):
There are three people with me, Doren, Monique, and Brenda.
Dorene is a younger man. She will cuss your ass out,
baby and fight in the middle of the street. Monique
is mature, Monique is suddenly. Then Brenda is in her eighties. Wow,

(01:06:34):
and she will whisper, you got to get to the baby,
You gotta get to me.

Speaker 2 (01:06:39):
So do you have children yet? Would you like to
like to be married one day?

Speaker 1 (01:06:47):
I've been married twice.

Speaker 2 (01:06:49):
You've been married twice.

Speaker 1 (01:06:51):
Another story for another day.

Speaker 4 (01:06:53):
I'll discuss it another day. They were you know, like
I'm right you j So it ain't no judgment, Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:07:05):
I understand that McDonald's order, baby, that you had twenty
six biscuits.

Speaker 4 (01:07:14):
But for the first time in my life, I really
understood what.

Speaker 2 (01:07:20):
Love was, and I want that feeling. Jay.

Speaker 4 (01:07:26):
I want to be with my husband for as long
as I can be with that black man, and I
want to be vibrant for that black man for as
long as I can be vip. But I saw this
woman one hundred and two years old the other day,
wow dressed up her stockings, her heels, and she says,

(01:07:47):
it was like, well, white are so dressed up? She said,
because I might catch a boyfriend. And then she said,
I'm still alive, y'all. I'm still alive, which means she
wants to still be sad. She wants to still be intimate.
I don't want to get to a certain age. And
because I did self neglect, now I can't be intimate

(01:08:08):
with my husband. I don't want to get to a
certain space due to self neglect. And I can't play
with my grandchildren. And my mother was a big motivator
for me. Before my mother left this earth, she was
a double amputee. Wow, diabetes. And I remember my mother
coming home when I was about twelve thirteen years old,

(01:08:30):
and she said, the doctor's talking about I need to
start doing some exercise. Ain't nobody doing no damn exercises?

Speaker 1 (01:08:36):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:08:37):
Well, when it took the first.

Speaker 4 (01:08:38):
Leg, wow, Okay, they said, ma'am, you're gonna have to
stop smoking. And my mother came to visit us, and
she was sitting outside on the back porch and she
was smoking, right, And this is when I had taken
the second leg, and my twins were my boys. They

(01:08:58):
were little boy and they said, well, if we rub
your if we rub this, will it make your legs
grow back? And we all laughed. And then they said
should you be smoking? And she said, I'll smoke until
my arm's fallow.

Speaker 1 (01:09:17):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (01:09:18):
And that night, when we put my mother in her bed,
I looked at my mother and said, you've got to leave.

Speaker 2 (01:09:27):
Because I don't want that.

Speaker 1 (01:09:28):
Type of poison around my family.

Speaker 4 (01:09:31):
Because what you've told my children is you've already given up.
And I don't want them to think that that's okay.
And I don't think that that's okay. So for as
hard as that was for me to say to my mother,
I got to protect the family that I prayed for
and that I asked for. And if you've already quit,

(01:09:53):
I'm okay with that, but you can't do it here.
You can't do it here. So before I'll be mad
with you or we're not getting along. And she didn't
live with us, she just came to visit. But I said,
you know this will be your last visit because I've
watched this all of my life.

Speaker 2 (01:10:12):
I've watched you quit and I no longer have to
do that.

Speaker 4 (01:10:16):
And there would have been a time I would have
been angry with you, But now I have empathy for
you because you quit when I was twelve years old.
You probably quit way before then, and through the years
we just watched you slowly die. You are part of
the living dead. So as I say to you, my
young brother, as you sit there right now with diabetes,

(01:10:40):
and you showed me that your.

Speaker 2 (01:10:42):
Order, well, you're killing yourself. You're committing suicide.

Speaker 1 (01:10:47):
Jay.

Speaker 2 (01:10:48):
You're just not saying i'll slip my wrists, I'll put
the gun in my mouth. No, you're not doing that.
You are slowly every day committing suicide.

Speaker 4 (01:11:00):
You ordering from a place where they're saying they're telling
you this is not good. This, this, this right here
is not good for us. So I'm not judging, baby,
because again I understand it. I've had those nights where
I've come off of stages and got me a twenty
piece of hot wing and that extra blue cheese.

Speaker 2 (01:11:21):
Day. I would die that damn blue cheese with extra
blue cheese jumps. Baby. I did it for size Jay
and that large gener I'm getting me about three biskets?
What that? What that little sauce on it? I did
it until.

Speaker 4 (01:11:40):
I had to take a look at me. When I
watched the Parkers back sometime, I'm like, God, damn.

Speaker 2 (01:11:48):
Who's asked? What's that going out the door?

Speaker 1 (01:11:53):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:11:53):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:11:53):
That's Nikki Parker asked? And I had to say, well,
Nikki Parker was your bitch. Why are we trying to
play these mind games?

Speaker 2 (01:11:59):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (01:12:00):
So, and I'll never be a small woman. Let me
be very clear. My head too big. I'll never do
a small woe.

Speaker 2 (01:12:06):
My head is too big.

Speaker 1 (01:12:07):
Yah.

Speaker 4 (01:12:08):
And I'm gonnais eleven foot Okay. I'm big at the tip,
I'm down the bottom. I make it match in between
that thing. I want to be as healthy as I
can be and it just starts, and it's hard to
go cold turkey.

Speaker 2 (01:12:21):
It is everything you order.

Speaker 4 (01:12:24):
Just say if you say you know what, I'm gonna
just eat the big Mac today and I'm gonna eat
the fries the rest of the ship.

Speaker 2 (01:12:29):
I'm gonna throw it away.

Speaker 4 (01:12:30):
And I'm watching me throw my money away. And then
you'll get tired of wasting your money because when you
put it in after get passed your taste buds, it's poison. Yes,
you deserve that, baby.

Speaker 2 (01:12:51):
You just warned that. The children that you don't have yet.

Speaker 4 (01:12:54):
They deserve the best daddy that they can possibly get.
For the next person and you get married too, they
deserve jay Walker at jay Walker's best now, jay Walker
at jay Walker's worst. Even though when I got with
my husband, I was at my worst. I was at
my worst and that man loved me as if I

(01:13:14):
was at my best. Wow, So imagine the kind of
love I'm getting right now. And I'm not saying I'm
at my best, but if I'm past my worst, Jay,
I don't want my way up, way up to I'm good.
For your children that they're not here yet, do it
for your legacy, for the ones that don't never get

(01:13:36):
a chance to meet you physically, right, But they're part
of your extension, right.

Speaker 1 (01:13:43):
And Auntie you, I thank you so much. I really
thank you so much. And I want to ask you

It was so amazing, you know, we I'm so excited

(01:14:06):
for what God has in store for this show man.
You know, like I told you at the top of
the show, I took nine months off. I took nine
months off. I took nine months off, and you know what,
I tried, and I tried doing those nine much to
get the show back going. I went to network after
network after network, and I had thought I had to
stand on my iHeart and it didn't work out in
my favorite But it's all good because the live does
not mean tonaw you, it just wasn't it for me

(01:14:28):
to do the show at that time in that season.
But now, you know, if the interview of Monique just
served this extra confirmation for me, you know, having her
on the show and talking to her and now bunding
and getting to know her and all that stuff. It's
just so much fun and everything is working now and
everything has come to a full circle moment. God is good, y'all.
And let me tell you this. I'm here every day,
