multifaceted superwoman supernovae. It's time,bossy, I some time. I'm
tired today we speaking of the facetsof your maltype. What you're producing a

(28:08):
comedy show. I'm I'm producing acomedy convention. Convention. Okay, I
do it. Every year. Thisis my tenth year anniversary of the Comics
Rock Convention. I started off inLA with just females at first, okay,
it was called the Females and ComedyConvention. Okay, and then,
you know, all the cattiness withwomen got on my nerves. Women can

(28:29):
be so catty competitive, and that'swhy I've never was in a sorority or
a bunch of women. Shit.I just it's just too much after a
while, because we're going for businessand all we end up talking about is
raggedy ass niggas and stuff. SoI was just talking what she got on,
yeah and all that stuff. Youknow. Yeah, that's why we
only had one million women march.Okay, bitch my feet have look at

(28:52):
her weave? Is that is thatcontreated? Is that the bitch been fucking
with my maid? They never gotnowhere. They went to the corner and
stopped, which I'm hot, I'mhungry. They ain't got no concession stay
and it didn't work at all.So you should have her flyer up there
and so and so. So Istarted it from women because I felt like
we needed to have a conversation onwhy there was no black female comedian sitcoms.

(29:15):
The last sitcom for a black womanin her name on a major network
was in nineteen ninety eight, andthat was The of a Doll. And
so I created a group on Facebookcalled Females and Comedy Association. Okay,
so we can have these conversations.Yeah, and then the men started calling
and was like, Hope, Iwant to come to the convention. I
know it's for women, but I'mgonna put a dress in a wig and

(29:37):
heels off. I said, don'tuse the convention as an excuse to put
a dress in a wig. That'sbeen Yeah, that's I rebranded the name

(41:13):
moment. I was like, allwomen are beautiful. I see why me
and are greedy. I do,like hell, but it's because it's all
shape, sizes, complexions. That'swhat I asked my son. He'sa mind.
It's not that we don't want tobe monogamous with y'all. We like
y'all and everything. He said,well, it's just so many bad bitches

(41:38):

He's awesome, kids and everything.Yeah, he's dope. So next
time, bring his music or bringhim. Yeah, I will will,
We'll all bring him. We'll dope. We'll show him off here. Okay,
I will do that. Okay,really quick, let's talk about the

(41:59):
hope the business owner. You gota cannabis line. Yes, I started
high hopes. That's not it.I messed up high hopes Hi G H
h O P E S dot bizokay, and then hop because we have
to switch the language and everything.I said international dot biz dot b I

(42:21):
Z because that's something else. Okay, that's going high and then h O
p E S dot bis there goesthere and then you go to menu,
that menu and stuff. I'm aninfuser, okay, So I can infuse
and medicate any and everything. Everythingand anything is infusible ye. And I'm

(42:44):
a healer, so I heal peoplewith cannabis and CBD, and I'm trying
to educate my people on the benefitsof cannabis and that it's been around one
hundred thousand years. Yes, Jesusused it to heal people. When he
made that staff to make blind mansee it was an indica ooh in that
and people don't believe that it's beenaround. It was called strange plant flak

(43:07):
or cannibosium. That's what it was. Your wheel help right now. The
situation Solomon, King Solomon, whenhe died, it grew up over his
grave and the wise man said thatthis is going to be the healer for
the men coming. Yeah, andit's a healer. And I'm trying to
heal the world through cannabis and CBDby re educating them about the benefits of

(43:30):
it and that prescription drugs will neverheal you. He's just putting a band
aid on a bullet wound. Butcannabis will heal you. And I have
healed my girlfriend called mister pre Jetta, who's coming. When I first met
her, her and I reconnected,she couldn't even talk. She has lupus
and they cut a piece are longoff. She couldn't even talk to me
for over five minutes. Now she'sused my products for over five years.

(43:52):
I can't get her ass off thephone. Beautiful and everything. Delta eight
is amazing. Uh, it's ahealer. Delta eight is stronger. CBD
actually is trunk stronger than THHC Okay, And because CBD stands for cannab anoid,
and we have cannabinoid receptors already inour bodies, talk to it.
It's like a brain food, right, And so when you take anything and

(44:13):
jest anything with CBD, it goesto wherever your pain is or wherever your
trauma is and it starts the healingprocess. So like me, I'm always
sleepy. I have sleep avenue andso I'm always sleepy. So when I
take CBD, it just makes merest, puts me down and makes me
rest. I have a Hope juice. It's a cannabis juice that I make
weed water. I had a wholehouse one like weed, and then I

(44:37):
I medicated and covered up with koolaidand it's got five stages, make you
high, high, horny, hungry, and then it's the best sleep of
your heart. Honey is one ofmy favorite horny. I got horny honey
too. All right. Now,I didn't think it worked. I didn't
think it works. I try.I said, wait a minute, yes,

(44:57):
and I said okay, and thenI took someone put some in tea
guy. I was like, shit, ain't working. And then I was
like, after about five, letme go get my toys. So maybe
it's me because as I said somethingto my girlfriend, she said, my
libido law, I don't have nosex drive whatsoever. I said, try
this and she was like, girlgirl, I had to get my toys,

(45:23):
and so I and the shrooms.I did shrooms have shrooms yes,
I didn't micro doos over some shomsI'm over. I didn't because I took
too much of it. Okay,And me and my dad Mama talked for
about six hours. Yeah she can't. Yeah, that's what I love about
the shoes. It takes the beloff and you can, you know,

(45:45):
visit with the ancestors uninhibited, uninhibited. I've never done down. I mean,
okay, so what it is didn'twork. You didn't allow it to
work, because it works what itis. Okay. So when in Black
Panther, when when they drank andthey talk, Yeah, those troops,
but it was shrooms yea. Andbecause so what trooms does is take you

(46:06):
in your past. It's a psychedelic. And so what it does is take
you in your past to heal trauma. That's right. My girlfriend Hilter a
PTSD. With Trump and your microdocet and you you could talk to the
ancestors. You can get questions answer. It brings up old things that you
are not sure up and and healfrom, and it starts the healings and
you just can't be afraid of it. And I believe that it should be

(46:30):
a rite of passage when everyone turnseighteen. I think they should have already
done their studies. I think thatby the time you're eighteen, your blood
work and everything should already be done. We should have a holistic killer and
a doctor. It should be youknow how they have a little shot some
shit that we go have to do. I think that when you get eighteen,
you should go get your take yourshroom trip. But it should you

(46:51):
write a passage and it should be, you know, in an environment like
you know, a doctor, holistickiller, I like Shawman's, I like
a spirit guides that type of thingand let them heal from everything from childhood
traumas, everything like that. Itwill, it'll set them on the right
path because you know, theoretically ateighteen, that's when you're starting out as

(47:12):
an adult and you have to getrid of some of these things, you
know. So I believe in itto that point that I think there's a
movie with Nicole Hitman, I love, I Love Nicole Hitman and uh Melissa
Whencarthy is called nine Perfect Strangers I'veheard of it is an adult tuney and
it's so dope. It's it's she'sand she's micro docing them. They go
to her retreat for healing or whatAt one girl somebody just went to because

(47:36):
she thought it was a spa.She wouldn't thinking it was a spa.
And every day the people were microdocing them in the morning. As one
couple wasn't getting micro doce, theywere like when they found out, They're
like, why y'all ain't give usnone? They got something. They started
having sex everywhere and because it takesaway all of your inhibitions and it makes
you free, that's right. Sowhen you say, uh, microL dopin,

(47:58):
that's like just a little bit.At at the time, they didn't
they didn't know they was getting.They didn't know they was getting. They
was putting it in their smoothies andthey would come around the dinner on the
breakfast table and they was in theback and they was putting it in there,
and they was like and one ladysaid, are you drugging us?
And she was like, yeah,that's the only way I'm gonna able be
able to get you to heal isto get you in a space where you're

(48:21):
not in control. Yes, yea. So we're so controlled freaks, and
we're so in control from trauma thatwe can't let go enough to heal.
That's right. That makes you know, And even with the cannabis and pain,
you know, my stuff is ahealer where you can heal from pain
because when you're in pain, youcan't sleep. And a lot of people

(48:44):
are sleep deprived because they're in pain. And so and and the healing is
in the rest. It's like workingout. You know. If the healing
is in the rest, you canwork out, work out. But when
you rest, that's when the bodyrejuvenates itself and heals itself. So that's
the same thing with cannabis and resting. So that's where the healing is is
in the rest, and so peopleneed to learn how to rest. Sometime

(49:07):
we just run run, especially inLa. La is a fast paced when
it's just we're just talking about itearlier, like it's a hurry up and
uh, hurry up and wait andhurry up and get and hurry up and
go, you know, and you'rechasing that dollar to pay this high ass
renting these cardinals. Everybody living abovetheir means and and you know, one
check on you can't live yep,I live downtown La And it's it's so

(49:31):
it's I'm grateful and sad at thesame time when I see the home homeless.
Yeah, it was between there downtownand like Woodland Hills, and like
really they were kind of on parwith the with the pricing and like downtown,
like right now, it's kind oflike the you know, the more
fair pricing. But you know,like you're driving down the street and you

(49:52):
see a lot of homeless, andthen you turn the corner and it's like
all of these palm trees and thisbeauty. But when you come outside,
you go back around the corner andit's all of this. So it's just
like, would I have been ableto handle that every day? Yeah?
I go through it every day.Sometimes I go through it just to stay
humble, yeah, and to andto be grateful, yeah, you know
for what I have, because itcould be me. You know, I'm

(50:14):
not better than any of'em.I give food to'em. I don't
throw my food away like that.You know, Like if I leave out
of town, I got a lotof food left. I bag it all
up and I just put it onthe sidewalk form clothes. Ah. A
woman is raped a day downtown,a homeless person dies a day, you
know, so concerned when were supposedto have that hurricane. Yeah, you
know, where are they gonna go? And and you know, I feel

(50:37):
like if you don't have compassion yeafor people, then who are you?
And I think that's what it's allabout, them messing with our weather like
this, trying to kill off people. And it's just greedy. Because while
y'all have to do first of all, make the cost of living more feasible
for everybody, nor these rent prices, and create more housing for everyone,
there are some countries where there's nohomeless. Everybody at the very least has

(51:00):
a house, has somewhere to stay. We just don't get it right.
And we're the richest country in theworld, the world, and and we
treat it's just it's just so muchgreed around here. Five billionaires can give
a billion dollars a piece and wecan eradicate homeless homelessness, you know,
But some of them people, I'mgonna say this to be very very fair,

(51:21):
Okay, a lot of them won'tgo in these buildings. A lot
of them won't go into the housing. They love that nightlife, they love
that freedom. It's a lot oftrauma and mental illness down there. And
you know, you know, it'sit's it's sad to see and some of
our beautiful people, beautiful men.If you talk to someone, they educated,
they don't the Bible, they knowthis. They just checked out,

(51:44):
just checked out, you know.And lunel what actually asked one guy out
begging for money one day and she'slike, what's your story? Why is
you out here always asking women beggingfor money? And he said I was
a lawyer. And he said thatit was the holidays. My family came
to town for the holiday. Hesaid, I went to the airport to
pick up somebody and my whole housecaught on fire. When I was at
home. My mother and my fatherwas dead, and my my wife and

(52:07):
my kids had all died in thefire. Oh my gosh. Was checked
out. He checked checked out.There's no reason what you still here for.
I'm like, okay, take me, because right just checked out.
So you go down. You talkto some of these people, then they're
not they're very educated. Doctors aredown, their lawyers, construction workers,
real estate people who just checked out, checked out, checked out. And

(52:30):
it's a daily it's a daily struggleto not do it. He struggle.
I want check out. I checkout it. I just go home,
go to bed and stuff, getsome sleep. I always tell people can
get some sleep. I can getsome rest. I'm like that, like,
like, do you have a thingLike I can go without food,
but if I don't get my rest, I'm a stone cold bit. I
don't give my rest. Yeah,that's a that's a trait that I got

(52:52):
slept with. You know, Idon't wake me up. What are you
doing unless you're putting something in me? Okay, I can appreciate that.
Yeah, that's the only way Ireally want to be awakened. Like other
than that, what are you?What are we talking about? Yeah,
I'm sleep but you know we gotwe are coming down to those last few
minutes of the show. I wantto show some more of your some are

happening in this day and age.And he was like absolutely, he said,
especially in the black community right right, they just won't accept it and

(55:04):
everything. And I was like,I don't know. I would accept that
with my son, and I wouldlove him just the same. I have
my nephews gay. He was gayborn that way. I know it.
People say, you never I didn'tbelieve it until you know, he used

And now he's, you know,openly gay. He's twenty seven and stuff,
so you know. So that andthen you know, I've been in

(56:08):
I have a lot of things Iwant to do, some voiceover work,
and I can't do it all ifyou know and focus on that. I
didn't took them as far as Ican take them. Yeah, and now
they gotta They gotta fly now.Auntie's Hope says, you gotta fly.
Now you go out and put enoughin you. You gotta fly. And
I just want to work on meand my career and my mental health and
staying. I need a therapist,but I don't know what happened to my

(56:30):
therapist. She just quit on me. What do they think? They don't
never thinking, they think, theydon't even think nothing wrong with me,
cause they got some real people theyneed to deal with. They like,
ain't not wrong with you. Iwent to probably make them lad I do.
But I went to group therapy onetime, and I saw all other
people's problems and it made me realizethat mine weren't as bad as theirs.
But it didn't negate the fact thatI do have trauma. Yeah, it's

(56:50):
just not as bad as theirs.Yeah, you know so, And it
just gave me a piece to knowthat. Okay, I'm on the right
track. So I think that that'simportant. So our last couple of minutes,
can you leave the people with somewords of wisdom and encouragement and maybe
even someone that wants to follow youryour same footsteps in comedy and entertain We

(57:13):
don't need another damn comedians. I'mgonna start there. Okay. That's why
we need a lawyer. We needan entertainment attorney. Okay, we need
people like, we need promoters,we need agents, we need managers,
we need things like that. Wedon't need another comedian's fifty thousand, y'all.
That's okay, that's that's my mymy go to. Okay. My
other thing is, you know,I tell comedians all the time that we

(57:34):
are ministers of laughter. Like theBible says that laughter is a married medicine.
And it's like when people go tochurch, you're like, I want
to hear my favorite song. Ineed to pastor to say something to me.
I want to sit in my favoritething. I need a hug.
People come to the comedy club forthe same reason. Yeah, and it's
our job to make them laugh forthe time that they're there. And I'll
tell you why. When I wasin a position or a crossroads, you

(57:55):
know, whether I'm doing the rightthing. You know, I ask God,
always ask God, show me asign, show me a sign.
He's always he meets you at yourneed. And a girl came to a
comedy club and she came up tome after the show. She said,
Oh, the show was really good. I said, thank you. She
said today was my birthday. Andshe said, nobody called me for my
birthday. This is before Facebook andall that stuff. And she said,
I figured, I come to theshow, get dressed, and when I
got home, I was going tokill myself. Oh my God, and

(58:19):
I just started crying. Yeah,And because it was like God saying this
is why you do it, peopleare hurting. Come and then we're in
a time right now where ain't shitfunny and we have to get up there
and make people laugh when we're ina climate where nothing is funny and everybody's
sensitive and you can't say this andyou can't say that. And so God
said, this is why you doit. This is why it's for people,

(58:40):
for the people. So I chargeevery comedian when you get on that
stage, don't play because you don'tknow who's live is in that balance that
they may go home and do somethingto their kids, they family, or
whoever. That's right, I said, Tony, we got a call her
that said we got too many htwo minutes. Okay, okay, So
that's why. And then I atCOVID. This is my second year of

(59:01):
recovering from COVID. I was ina hospital two and a half months,
almost died. Oh my God.And I I never thought I was gonna
die, cause I know I gotstuff to do. But God told me,
when you're in a room and youyou know, the walls are caving
in on you and everything, youhave a lot of time to talk to
God. And God told me totell all of my friends whatever makes you
happy, do it, and whatevermakes you sad, get rid of it.

(59:22):
Life is just so short, soshort words out of my own mouth.
That's the philosophy. That's that's whatI lived by. What say your
