sucks. >> So, you've How many have you done? >> I've only done two. I've only done one. Netflix special. >> Okay. How'd you feel? >> Uh, I was nervous. And then once I did it, I. was. >> What made you nervous? >> Putting yourself out there. Anytime I. make anything and it goes out there, I'm. like, why would I ever? >> Cuz for me, I'm more comfortable in a. nightclub. >> For sure. >> Because the language can be relaxed and. it's intimate and if you lose them, you. can get them back. >> Yeah. in a special now it's fixed in.

stone you know but but I will say this. when um Jamie Fox and Marcus Kane. produced this show Laugh of Palooa and. it was filmed in Atlanta and uh me and. Mike Washington have been going around. doing uh shows right after September. 11th. So, I was doing some pro-American, pro- President Bush uh jokes about. Septum 11 in a very hood way. And. everybody else in Atlanta was getting up. and doing traditional sets, nightclub.

sets. And I told Jamie, I said, "I'm. going to bomb." And he was like, "Why do. you think that?" I said, "Cuz I'm about. to do some pro-American. >> jokes. >> and pro jokes." because I used to get. booed talking about being a Republican. and supporting uh President Bush, but. once I did it and the response uh Kyle, you because you were saying Kyle's. sitting off camera, but it made you.

respect me more. >> in that humor. >> Yeah. I saw. [laughter]. when I realized, oh, you just ass. titties and suck a dick. you. Oh, she. got a a strong mind. I didn't know that. >> But here's the thing. Like [laughter]. >> I know that didn't sound right at all. >> I have a rule. I'm going to take this. off ramp. I have a rule. I don't I don't. sleep with or [ __ ] or engage sexually. anybody I pay cuz I'm getting [ __ ]. twice.

>> If if if um. >> Yeah. You don't [ __ ] who you pay. If you. want to be in a relationship with me and. you work for me, you must quit and then. we'll see where it goes. Yeah. But in. hearing when we got to know each other. and the jokes that he appreciated, um, I had to take the risk and I needed. it to be recorded so it could be. timestamped. But did when you recorded. your special, did you bring back any. jokes that had been recorded or done. somewhere else to put in the special?

>> No. >> Really? You wrote all. >> No, but I only did the only thing I had. before that was a YouTube special, so I. didn't have anything ever recorded. >> Really? >> Really? But I I don't think there's a problem. with that. >> really. Yeah. >> And then you and I were talking and like. I I talk in my show about uh being a. Republican but being considered a rhino. Um uh being considered transphobic, being considered homophobic. >> There's nothing wrong with being.

considered that. [laughter]. >> What's wrong? >> I get considered everything. >> A Republican in name only. So, in this. this administration, I've been a. registered Republican. >> for decades, right? >> But in this administration, the Trump. administration, I'm considered a rhino. And which doesn't bother me. I just feel. like one thing I love about the power of. comedy, it's great discussion. You know, you're not going to agree. You're not. going to like every joke I tell. You.

know, and you're not supposed to you're. supposed to have a certain type of. reaction to certain things. What I ask. the audience to do is sit through the. set and figure out what you like and. what you don't like, but let everybody. else around you enjoy it. >> Yeah, >> that's fair. >> Yeah. And if you don't like it, >> cuz I was like, really? >> Like one of my first jokes was, uh, what. go good with chili? >> What? >> What go with chili? Right. >> Now that you brought up white people,

let's talk about they ass. >> That's funny. >> That was one of my first jokes. [laughter] that I was telling. But. >> Oh, how did the Bush jokes go after? I. bet people were pumped. >> Well, they Well, the way they were told. >> Yeah. >> Uh, yes. They were they were really. stoked because they were told uh in a. way that the urban and the black and the. street Atlanta audience could. understand. It's not for you to agree, >> but the president is the president. Like. if it wasn't Trump saying a lot of [ __ ].

we'd be like, "Right, ride, crypto, ride. Let's get in on this." Or or, "Right, right. Let's [ __ ] these. [ __ ] up before they get a. nuclear weapon." Right. It's the It's. It's who it's coming out of sometimes. and the times that we live in. But I. think that's why I said what I said at. the roast. You're not going to agree. It's a roast. And it's a new generation. of roast. It's no longer rimshot, Don. Rickles, uh, Dean Martin, Pearl Bailey, Lucille Ball, >> and it wasn't in a small room where.

we're all friends. This is in an arena. on national television. We never met. >> That's right. And it's international. Yeah. Right. But what I liked about it. was. >> you could see the camaraderie. And I think uh even talking about the. George Floyd joke that Tony told, but I. believe on the side of the cookout crew, Pete Davidson represented with the. Charlie Kirk joke. >> I agree. You got to be offended by both. or neither. That's how I felt about. that. >> That's right. But you should be the.

[clears throat] reaction should be. offense. The Floyd family should be. upset. There should be a crew of people. that are that are mad because that's the. reaction you have, right? Because you're. not thinking about freedom of speech. You're thinking about uh your brother. who was murdered. Yeah. >> By a system. But on the same token, I. tell people it's a roast and it's a new. generation of roasters because. everybody's like, "Sir, how did you feel. that they talked about your dead husband.

committing suicide?" Okay. It really. truly happened and it happened over 30. years ago. >> That's why I called you. >> Yes. That's why I said for the record. Well, well, remember when I did all the. interview ever do that without Yeah. >> Yeah. But to let me tell you something, Shane, knowing you knowing Tony, like. I'm sitting next to Tony, this. [ __ ] is ordering Crown and Coke. And I'm like, so people think you're a. bigot, but you're really a black man. [laughter]. >> You you you look like Tony Robbins.

He has. >> He has [laughter] like two or three. different gold thrones. It's I was I was. there two nights ago. >> You lying. >> It's the literally the blackest place. I've ever seen in my [laughter] life. >> I'm telling you. That's the guy sitting. next to him. I [laughter] was like, >> you're black. You You either something. who beat him up in school? >> I think a lot of people. [laughter].

I think he got his ass whooped a lot if. I had to guess. [laughter]. >> He got like it was like a Spider-Man. bite. He's just straight up getting beat. up. >> And see, to me, I would love to see Tony. and Cat Williams in a Buddy Cop movie. >> That would be hilarious. Two little. [ __ ] with big attitudes. Yeah. In a movie. >> Yeah, it'd be great. >> That would be very fun. >> Remember what I told I think you need to. remake Smokey and the Bandit. >> I like it. [laughter] That would be. nice.

Club Shay Club Shay interview I did with. him. >> No, I didn't see that. >> Oh, yeah. Shannon and I sat in a car um. for hours. uh when he was playing in Denver. So, I.

was in the Denver. I think it was when. they first opened the first location of. the improv. And what's the other guy? Is. it Terrell Davis? >> Yeah. TV. >> Okay. So, I thought Terrell Davis was. Shannon and Shannon was Terrell. So, he. was like, "So, what you want to do after. this?" I said, "I'mma sell these CDs.". Back then, I was selling CDs and. cassette tapes and posters. So, he was. like, "What do you want to do?" I said, "Okay, I want to go on a carriage ride.". Right? Because I saw the horse outside. I want to go on a carriage ride. He. said, "Come on, I'll take you." And this. is Shannon talking to me, but I think. it's Terrell. And so I go, "Okay, let me.

let me get this money right here." So he. starts walking up these stairs or the. club and goes, "Come on if you come." I. said, "Who the [ __ ] you talking to?". [laughter]. >> I said, "Yeah." I was like, "I'm not the [ __ ]. in here. Give a [ __ ] about you, motherfucker." He was like, I said I was. like, and I said, "Motherfucker, I'm. already me." Right. So any So anyway, [laughter]. >> come on if you're coming. >> Yeah, it was sexy. I I I got off on it. when he said, "Yeah, come on if you. coming." I was like, "Oh, dude." I was.

like, "Wait a minute, [ __ ] Stand up. for yourself." [laughter] So. >> So I pack up my stuff after I say cuz. even the white girls was like, "He's. telling you to come on." I was like, "Bitch, get a backbone. The [ __ ] are you. [laughter] talking about?" So we we get. together. We get in the car and we can't. find the carriage, right? So we sitting. in the car for hours talking about what. type of relationship we could or could. not have. And fast forward to Club Shay. Shay where we've ever talked about it.

side by side. >> That's great. >> I was definitely wanting to be a Mrs. Shannon Sharp, but it wasn't meant to. be. And we all stayed friends, you know. >> That's awesome. >> Yeah, that's what you would hope. I. mean, every man I've been with, I'm. still friends with, you I'm like, cool. If they're alive, >> but you know, I'm still I'm still. friends. >> I left those jokes there. >> Yeah. You can I tell you something that. [laughter] can I tell you honestly and. that's what I've been doing in the. interviews is telling people, listen, if.

they had not come with respect and said, "These are the topics.". >> Yeah. >> But I didn't know what was going to be. said. And I did not know that Tony was. going to do the George Floyd joke. >> Yeah. But when he did it, like I was. over there like scribbling on paper and. asking God, "Send me, send me the. response. Send me the response like the. response to you. >> Send me the response." But I don't want. to be mean-spirited. But with Tony and. the George Floyd joke, my only feeling. is if you don't have the right response.

that blows up the room even further, you've set back the cause. So sometime. it's say less. If you ain't got nothing. good to cut his throat with figuratively. about comedy. Yeah. Shut the [ __ ] up. Yeah. Because you're gonna make it worse. in my opinion. What do you think? >> I agree. I think that's I think he. nailed it. >> Yeah. Yeah. I I feel like the so. especially with the um like the late. husband talk it was like this deeply. personal. >> like a tragedy. >> and the thing no one talks about is like.

you know that's that's like horrific to. even think about and to be up there and. just like laughing and making like a. joke and to me it's like a triumph where. like you rose above it you made a big. joke out of everything no one ever talks. about that they're like oh it's it's I. thought it was I watched it I was like. this is beautiful and then you came up. and I think Shane said a lot of your. stuff was kind of like off the cuff the. last minute not even on the teleprompter. I was Like that like really blew me away. be cuz I was like how do you do that in. that room? I would be glued to the. teleprompter sweating reading it and to. be like all right I have my own notes I. just formulated on a stage on live TV in.

front of an arena of people. >> I really was I was like this is amazing. >> Faith in God. >> Yeah. >> Ask God send me the words. Feeling safe. Feeling like I'm not being attacked so I. don't have to be defensive. I don't have. to be thin skinned. Um, and culturally, uh, we cracked jokes the when he died, uh, on we did we we c we cracked jokes. I had to call my father and go, "Can you. come here and identify the body?" My. father was like, "Why?" I was like, "Cuz.

you my daddy gone to hell. [laughter]. Gone in there. Look, go in there." You. know, but but in stress sometime humor. equalizes stress. So for me, I I when I. first got to the talk on CBS, one of the. first jokes I told was this joke about. my best friend Peaches. Now I'm in. Chicago. My husband dies, jumps off a. building. My best friend Peaches tries. to outcry me at my husband's funeral. [laughter].

And [clears throat] we're in a uh what. is it? Funeral home. Uh 71st in. Hallstead. And I'm sitting up front and in my. family, we don't uh cuz we from down. south and my father is conservative. southern, but we don't express emotion. out out in public. But so I'm sitting up. front and Weird is whailing coming back. from the back of the room and it's my. best friend Peaches and she's whailing. and coming up and she is showing out. Black people know she is showing out at.

my husband funeral. Now her husband is. sitting about four pews back. I'm just. thinking about my family at a funeral. [clears throat]. >> Is it? >> If one person showed out, they they'd. beat [laughter] their ass. >> Like, what are you doing? >> No, we all looking around like, who is. that? And she's whailing. And so my. father is nudging me and I'm nudging. him. I'm like, I don't know what the she. crying. So I walk up to her and I put my. arms around her. >> and I go, "Bitch, the [ __ ] are you. doing?" [laughter]. And and we we we laughing, but it looks.

like we're crying with each other. Yeah. And I said, "I'mma let you go cuz your. husband, Ivory Eugene Granberry, >> is four four pews back watching you cry. over my dead husband. I'mma let you go. He gonna [ __ ] you up when you get home.". And but I couldn't say those words. And. Julie Chin Moonveves. was the one who said, "Let's make it TV. friendly, but let's put some words in it. and give a little seasoning.".

>> Very funny. But it's it's when you say. culturally sometime humor is the thing. It's the most uncomfortable humor that. really kind of it it kind of lessens the. tension and the stress, wouldn't you. say? >> Yeah, absolutely. >> Do you feel you've ever gone too far in. something? >> Yeah. Yeah, for sure. But then you're. like, you know, as soon as you do it in. a club, as as soon as you're wrong, you. go [ __ ].

Well, but I mean puns are supposed to. get groans, scatological humor, [ __ ]. jokes, you know, they make you giggle. like a kid. You know, the analysis of. humor uh is what I love. But if you. dissect a joke so hard, it's like a. frog. You you got to kill it to dissect. it. But to me, for the people who are. upset and on social media, I feel like. you have a right to be that because now. I get to talk about mental illness in. men and specifically black men that men.

feel I don't need therapy. I don't need. this. I don't need that. Right, in this. society. But people say, well, how could. you sit there? Oh, it was offensive. Well, don't be offended for me if I'm. not offended. But be offended for your. point of view. And you can have your. point of view. Yeah, >> we're not saying you can't have it. Have. it all on social media. Cuz most people. trying to attempt to do stand up will. never understand how it feels. >> It's It's like the greatest sex in the.

world with a bunch of people, >> you know. He was just trying to keep the. high going. >> Milwaukee Milwaukee. $50. [laughter]. $50. Now, what did you want to ask me? I'm. sure y'all had some questions. What do. you want to ask me? >> Yeah. Well, really the my one question. was like and I kind you kind of answered. it was like how did you kind of put. together that ad hoc like response to. everything but you said you just kind of. channeled God and just chilled out and. relaxed. What do you.

I I guess this is a question I had too. when like because I've always wondered. this before like you know you suffered. this personal tragedy. Was there a part. of you that worried like I can't be. funny again after this or was like I. always wonder that if I be false I'm. like or some like horrible tragedy. happens to me will it just like destroy. my sense of humor and I'll become like. serious and sad all the time. >> I felt like I had no choice. >> Yeah. >> For me to survive. That's why the book. is I'm fat because of you because I had. to survive. I had to find a way to pay. my bills. I had to find a way to build a.

career. So I just looked at it as and my. father was like don't why me? Why not. you? like tragedy can't come to your. door like it comes to anybody else's. door. So the first thing I thought, what. is funny about this? What is funny? A. lot of people say, well, why would you. make a joke about being raped? And and. after I was raped, I went to the stage. with it because that's the place where. I'm most comfortable in talking to. people. I didn't know that something you. felt. >> could have used that one in the roast.

>> Yeah, I thought you were. No, no, no, no. They told me they told me that that. you guys might talk about me being. raped. >> I would first of all I would definitely. not do that. I go, "Hey, this lady got. raped. What a loser.". >> Yeah. But I mean, come on. >> Crazy, right? But but would you say that is what. roasting is now? >> It's no longer you a hockey puck. Roasting in you all y'all generation in. this time span of comedy, you hit be. really below the belt. And for me, I.

feel like the only thing you got to deal. with, you ain't gotta deal with me. because I'm your colleague. You gota. deal with the [ __ ] outside on. behalf of what they mad about, right? But to me, if you worry about that, you. restrict yourself to great comedy, right? So for me, every tragedy in my. life, I bring it to the stage so that it. it I can show the audience you can. survive any tragedy. If God let you open. your eyes the next day, okay, survive. it. Because we talking [ __ ] you know,

if if some one of your relatives at the. hospital that you hate. >> and we all in the hospital room going, "If we could just pull the plug on this. [ __ ] [laughter]. >> you see how see how we all laugh?". >> That's that's what humor does. Even. though we know we not going to do it, or. one of us might, but the rest of us not. >> That's what humor is for. It's gallow. humor. It's Irish wakes. It's black. funerals. It's funny. Black funeral. Hey, dig that [ __ ] up and check. his pockets. Why? cuz he owed me. [laughter] $50. That's That's humor.

>> that gets you over tragedy. >> I didn't know. I wasn't certain your. husband your late husband was black. >> Really? Oh, because. >> was not. And then when I The type of. >> Mhm. >> the way he died, I was like, "This. sounds like a this is a very white guy. thing to do.". >> Thing to do. Jump off a building. >> Yeah. >> How so? What do you mean? >> Cuz that takes courage. >> No. God. [laughter] No. I mean, it does. No, I'm not disrespecting them. It does. You know, people argued me down. [laughter] when I talked about that my. in mental illness. It take it I felt it.

took him great courage to be in such. despair that he would do something that. there's no way I I could have done that. No, no way. But for that type of despair. and that type of stress and people say, "Well, you know, cuz I I had some. therapy and um and dealing with some. things." But my thing is I I did not. kill my husband, but I may have. exacerbated his stress. And so now that.

comes through in my comedy and saying. what type of companion I want to be to a. man because I've watched the man I love. >> You weren't talking during the game, were you? >> No. >> All right. Not at all. Not at all. Now, that that that is one thing. [laughter]. Now, I might ask you a question in a. movie theater, >> but I I don't like to talk. >> That's great. >> Cuz I talk for a living. Don't you have. moments where you don't want to talk at. all? >> Yeah. >> For the second I get off the road, I sit. on that couch and don't talk for three. days. >> And women don't understand it. Well,

>> they get mad at you. >> That's where that joke comes from. you. you are out doing whatever you doing and. your man is out doing whatever he's. doing and as soon as you come home you. want to talk to him give him a minute. let him [ __ ] shower and shade and then. let him get situated and give you a. signal that conversation should come. forth. >> that'd be really nice so that's why I. tell that joke that's why I tell that. joke. >> literally just like you were talking to. everybody else all weekend I watched you.

right. >> it's like yeah that's it's my [ __ ]. job Yeah, >> that's right. >> But. >> but I don't want to talk now. >> They don't hear that. >> But but then is that why you're single? >> Uh kind of. [laughter]. >> Yeah, >> that's one of the reasons. Yeah. >> Do you do you. um when you when you finish the show? How do you feel about. Cuz standup comedy is the most sexually. attractive thing to do aligned with. singing. [clears throat].

>> Do stand up. No, it is. It's It's. [laughter] a sexual to make a woman. laugh or to make a man laugh. It's a. sexual thing. That's why it's so. powerful. >> I'm making a lot of guys making all. these guys laugh. [ __ ]. >> Well, not that Well, that guy right. there. Yeah. [laughter]. >> Get all these guys up. >> That guy. That's why he's happy. That's. why he comes to work every day. All. right. >> I like it. I'll never stop thinking. about that. >> Right. But then when you when you stop. doing it, when the show is over, what do. you do with all that adrenaline? >> I drink. >> Okay. I used to I It's not like I.

>> will never drink again. Yeah. But I'm. really want to see how I can reset my. body for longevity. But I will tell you. this, I drink because I like the taste. of alcohol. >> Like, and it's not that I like what it. does to me. I like the taste of good. whiskey or the taste of good gin or the. taste of a great uh martini, you know? And I used to smoke cigars, but I don't. anymore. But I I like that sort of thing. But you. are you drinking because your adrenaline.

is up and now you need to pump the. brakes cuz alcohol is a depressant. >> or do you drink cuz you like the taste. of alcohol? >> I like drinking. >> Right. And you drink by yourself? >> No. >> You drink with [ __ ] I mean, sorry, women. >> No, it's almost entirely men. [laughter]. >> You should see my green room. >> It's literally. >> Why you don't slip to Mickey and then. get what you want. Cuz [laughter] I see. you looking at him. Slipped him in the.

drink. And there, you know, you got. >> finally I got Shane where I want him. >> Got your hat turned back. >> Yeah. >> Got your socks on. Get him. >> He's a bad boy [laughter] for life. >> Get him. Takes over. >> He usually just guys. >> Well, see, but that that's the that's. the wind down. Yeah. Right. It's the. wind down. And we remember we would go, we used to have this thing and everybody. goes to it. It's called the company. field trip. And the company field trip.

is where I would take my entire team to. the strip club. and we would I would bring in a company. field trip sometime. >> You'd love it. You'd love it. It's a lot. of fun. A lot of great food. Where where. we going? Magic City. Magic City in. Atlanta. >> The wings are amazing. >> The wings are good. >> The broccoli. >> I [ __ ] grub hug them. >> Yeah. I didn't even go I didn't even go. to Magic City. I got [ __ ] lemon. pepper wings to my. >> the wings and the broccoli. >> Wings and the broccoli. And the service.

One, to talk. to the girls about Listen, I came last. year. >> I like to talk to them, too. >> That's right. Your ass still here. >> Yeah. >> You You said you were doing this for. beauty school. Why the [ __ ] you still. here? Or college or whatever. But then. also, it's the only place where the guys. aren't looking at me. They're talking to. me about politics and sports and uh. current events or street life. They're. not looking at me. They're talking to. me. They're looking at her.

>> And then she primes them up and then I. just lean over and go, "So, what you. doing after this?" [laughter]. >> It's kind of genius, honestly. >> Yeah. It. >> is funny. It takes like 12 naked tits to. just focus on conversation with. [laughter]. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Sitting next to her just like, "So, how have you been?". >> Yeah.

And I kept telling. myself, stay focused. It's it's like. being an athlete. Most people don't look. at us as athletes because it's such a. seditary life and, you know, it's uh,

excess, right? But being a stand-up. comic, you have to be able to remember. what you're doing, then remember what. joke when it doesn't work to replace it. with another joke. you have to be ready. to if I've been drinking all night now. I'm puffy on camera right so it's a it's. a lot of regimental type training but. for me after the roast uh I just felt. relieved that's first thing uh wanted to. get out of my shoes um but also uh I.

normally don't go to after parties I. don't hang out and rarely do I go to. what they call Hollywood parties cuz I'm. kind of reclusive but then I thought. come on Cheryl you need to engage that. because you need you need work. I I need. work especially there's no TV shows, no. movies being done. I was on daytime TV. for 14 years. So for me I thought okay. do this and then I would never got. representation and yeah the things that. happened so fast after that.

So, you said after the roast it. was just things kind of connected and. took off. >> What's what's the plan outside of the. special and. >> um I would say continuing to work on the. road because I love working on the road. Me and Kyle on I need a job tour. That's. why we named it that because like most. Americans, we need work, you know. Um I. want to get deeper into podcasting. I.

was just about to say, do you have like. an interview show you do or anything? >> Um, well, Kyle and I are working on. politics and punchlines as the podcast. because I want to be able to talk about. the politics of all situations, >> including politics. Um, and the. punchline is the humorous thing that. comes out of that discussion and move on. to interviewing people. I want to start. with just me and Kyle because you can't. depend on the interview because the. interview either might not show up or. might not be good. Yeah.

>> If if you guys aren't good together, your chemistry, then you don't have a. show. So, I want to get into podcasting. I want to go back to terrestrial radio. >> Nice. >> I believe in radio, even if I'm just a. contributor in all formats. Um, Sherwood's Great American Talent Search. We're doing the first one in Lake. Charles, Louisiana. And, uh, I believe. that uh, >> What kind of talent? >> It's everything. >> Everything. >> Spoons. >> Someone's going to Someone's going to. play the spoons. >> Spoon. Spoon. washboard. Uh if you do.

hair and you can put in a quick weave in. 60 seconds, [laughter] uh that's your. talent. If your dog jump through a hoop. or or if it bark and sound like it's. singing, that's a talent. You can do a. monologue. >> But if you are a singer or a singing. group or a band, you must master the. past. That's classic rock, classic country, classic R&B, classic soul, classic. gospel, classic Latin. Whatever you do, >> classic hip-hop. Yes. Classic hip hop. >> Guys up there like, "Hey everybody, my.

name is J.". >> Yes. Yes. Yes. You Because what it does, it brings in the demographic that. remembered all that music, >> right? If somebody gets up and does uh. Ronnie Milsack. Wouldn't it be great if a white dude got. up and was singing some type of country. song, maybe even a George Jones song, but then said to the audience, "Let me. show you what else I can do." and then. start singing Keith Sweat. >> It'd be wonderful. It'd be awesome, >> wouldn't it? >> And I come out and have my dog jump.

through a hoop and I'm like, "Hey, everyone.". >> Okay. [laughter] So, wait a minute. >> Some guy with a [ __ ] pair of spoons. is sitting backstage going, "Ah, [ __ ] I. got to follow that.". >> That's it. I like So, would you guys help me pull. it together? >> Matt would. We'll perform. Yeah, I like. playing music. >> Yeah. All But it's anybody doing. anything. >> He's got a blind dog. >> There you go. I have a blind dog. >> A blind dog playing the spoons. It's. hilarious. [laughter]. >> You can't beat that kind of talent.

>> Bing it. [laughter]. >> It does sound nice though. I I like the. multi- genre like let's let's see it. all. Let's see what you can do. >> But it crosses the reason I want to. engage radio with it. It crosses all. formats and I want to do the preliminary. rounds through comedy clubs. So it it's. a really an elevated version of the open. mic hosted by local comedians and local. radio jocks. And then when you get to. the final round, then that's where you. really have it's a bigger experience for.

the community. It brings in small. businesses. It brings in corporations, but it brings the community together. If. your fire department got up and did New. Addition, >> it it would it would really be a great. experience for that. But the one we're. doing in Lake Charles is doing Junth. And I asked them while we're tabulating. the results, could we do a reenactment. of Junth? >> I'll be a part of that. >> Yeah. [laughter]. >> Now, what would you be wearing? Blue or.

gray? >> Blue. Come on. You see the house? >> I know. I I just want you to say it for. the people. Yeah. >> Right. But don't you think to me that's. what brings us together, right? And to. do something fun like that after we do. the I Need a Job Tour. My next tour will. be Cheryl Underwood's Great American. Talent Search. >> Oh man, I was going to make a terrible. joke. >> Okay, Reggie. >> You know what the the guys did after. Junth? >> What they. >> they went on the I need a job tour. >> [ __ ] [laughter].

>> They said, "Oh [ __ ] I need to go on. tour.". >> Listen to me. Listen to me. [laughter]. Uh uh for the brothers and sisters. that's watching. He means the Fisk. Jubilee Singers. That's [laughter]. >> okay. So we got you on camera. You going. you going to help me pull this together? >> Yeah. >> Cuz I think it'd be great for the. country and you can find talent and if. you want to put Afro beat or or EDM. underneath some classics, you got to do.

something. I I just think we can find. the next Sticks or Boston or or even. Leonard Skinner. >> Yeah. >> I think cuz all of that these kids do. not understand the fun we had in forming. a group or making a band or, you know, trying to make this music or this and. coming together, you know, as. entertainers. How could Michael Jackson. be vilified, die, and then become the. best-selling movie, but all his music is.

going back up the charts if there isn't. something there, right? >> Yeah. >> And so for me, I just want to bring the. country together, and I believe in this. as something that would bring us. together. and could possibly turn into something. really, really great. >> That's awesome. That'd be nice. >> Yep. What else you want to know? Is it. time for me to go? Let me look at Oh, look at the time. Okay. [laughter]. >> Yeah, >> that's another thing too that I have a. tendency to do. I could be with a man. and I feel like I'm getting a little too. relaxed, a little too talkative and I'll.

go, you know, I think I need to go to. the bathroom and then I'll just sneak. out of the building. >> That'd be so That'd be so confusing. >> I was like, things are going well. And. she left. No. I I But once these phones came out, I will text her from the car and go, "Hey, call me later." Or, "I'm going to. call you when I get home." That stops. the Oh, she left. No, she really likes. me. But I snuck out. >> I still would be like, >> I also [clears throat]. >> I think I scared her. >> Scared what? >> If a lady escaped. >> Yeah. [laughter].

>> Well, if I if I'm talking if I'm. lingering. My My dad had a saying a. sang. >> Oh, that'd be That's nice. >> Linger along. Linger along, but die you. must. I don't want to linger. [laughter]. That's our country as hell done. We from. Arkansas. >> Yeah, >> we from Arkansas. So to be [laughter]. >> Yeah. He said linger along but die you. must. That's right. At time I make a. monkey eat red pepper. You know he had. these great southern things to say. Think about that. >> That's nice. >> That's right. >> It's tough for me to figure out but I. like it. >> Yeah. Yeah. Chicken ain't nothing but a.

bird and [ __ ] ain't nothing but. chewed up grass. That was my dad. Right. So to me, if I'm if I feel I'm. lingering, I will make a getaway, >> you know. >> Yeah. Lingering. after you hook up or. >> cuz that's a great time. If a lady. escaped after that, I'd be like, that's. one. >> clinginess is a problem. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. To me, I I kind of resist. Maybe I'm You think. I'm a commitment foe? Wouldn't you say,

fellas on my team, I'm a commitment foe? >> Possibly. Well, listen. I believe in. love. I believe in monogamy. I'd like to. get married another time, but I I. believe marriage is till death do his. part. I talk about it in my show, but I. I I want to go through the courtship. Like, I believe you should not live with. a man in the house. And I could be. married to a guy and not live in the. house until we're ready to live. together. Because that's what [ __ ] up. the relationship in my opinion. when you.

rush cohabitation and you're not ready. So for me, like if I I'm back in my one. and done days, sleep with a guy, I would. like wait for him to go to sleep and I. would just borrow my clothes up and. sneak out the hotel. >> It's it's wonderful. >> But [laughter]. >> nothing better than waking up and be. like, "Oh, nice." And if I'm at his. house, >> I would uh sneak out the house and put. my car in reverse and let it coast out.

so the car wouldn't start. And I. [laughter]. also. >> That's another one where I'm starting to. get worried. >> No. No. Because Hey, Kyle, do you. remember that time that I pulled the the. young handsome man. >> basketball dude? >> Yeah. >> From the front row. >> And then what did I do? Didn't I call. you and I said. >> out? And I was like, "Why you. whispering?". >> I said, "Sh." I was like, "Oh, oh, oh.". >> I said, "Come get the luggage." And you. was like, "Why you whispering?" "Shh, come get the luggage and don't let the. elevator ding." Cuz I'm right next to.

the elevator. >> Cuz I didn't want to see that pitiful. look in y'all face when the woman. leaves. I was like, "Sh, come get the. lockets.". >> You know that pitiful face is fake, RIGHT? [laughter]. >> You know that's fake. >> No. Some be looking sad. >> No, don't leave. >> They look Some look sad. They Why are. you leaving? >> Where you going? No, it's fake. >> I thought we were going to go get. something to eat after. No, no, no. >> I like my fake time. >> It's good. >> No, I we see we we should do with a.

dating show. >> I rarely talk about it, but Yeah. [laughter]. >> But no, cuz I think women need to hear. what men really feel. >> Yeah. Nothing. >> Nothing. [laughter]. >> See, I think y'all do feel something. Y'all just don't believe that women are. gonna listen. [snorts]. >> She's stupid. >> But yeah, also you can't be vulnerable. to a lady. She'll hold it against you. forever. >> That's not the right girl. >> I saw you cry, you [ __ ].

>> Okay. Okay. What sporting event did you. cry at? [laughter]. >> So many. So many. >> Thank you. >> Uh yeah, >> that's right. Um. Oh, >> who gets the scholarship to walk on? Oh, that's every time it's over. Down. syndrome guys hitting threes. >> Yeah. Makes you cry. It makes you It. makes you cry. >> Putting a guy in. Yeah. Special needs. guy on the bench comes in, hits a couple. threes. [laughter]. [ __ ] That's beautiful. >> Yeah. >> Yeah.

>> So, why can't you cry in that? >> I I could. Yeah. >> Even the one tier. >> That's nice. Yeah. I'm okay with that. >> If she's smart, >> she won't rag you for it. She'll. understand he does have humanity. >> Yeah, >> but shut the [ __ ] up sometime. [ __ ]. you ain't got to say everything to this. dude. Just notice everything. >> That'd be nice. [laughter]. >> Yeah, I feel I feel a lot. I feel a lot. of feedback myself. Yeah, you get some. feedback. >> I got a lot of feedback.

>> Really? >> Yeah. >> Got a lot of feedback. >> See, I just don't think I don't think we. need to talk about everything. You know, sometime when a man is ready to talk to. you, be ready to listen. And sometime. don't answer back. Just just listen to. him and nod. Go, yeah, wonderful. I got. it. But sometimes I'll say, "Are you are. you cool? Are we cool? Are we still. together? Are you cool?". >> I feel like you need some time behind. you before you can eat the proverbial. pepper of just not bothering a guy. >> Mhm. >> That hard. [laughter]. >> Time plus distance equals clarity. Yes.

>> I'm going to leave you alone so that I. don't shoot you, right? [laughter] I'm. gonna let you have your space because. you talking to me crazy. You know, you. kind of flagrant right now. I know you. mad about some [ __ ] [laughter] I. didn't know that was your father. [ __ ] Why is you in my face? >> Is listening. You listen to a guy. Also. figure out what he eats. Figure out what. his comfort zone is. Make that great. because then he's going to make. everything great for you.

>> 100%. >> Happy home, peace of mind. makes a man come. >> It's true. [laughter]. >> That's right. >> Me and Laare [clears throat] live. together. >> So, will you find Will you find the man. of your dreams? [laughter]. >> That's me. He won't He doesn't make me. anything. >> La may hasn't cooked once. Actually, he. made chicken Alfredo. That was nice. [laughter]. >> Some chicken. There's chicken curry in. there from a week ago. >> That's a in that [ __ ] jug in there. >> Yeah. >> Throw that out. That's been [ __ ].

disgusting. [laughter]. Come on. He's got a jug of [ __ ]. chicken curry in there. It's [ __ ]. gross. >> I didn't know where to put it. [laughter]. >> Throw it out. Throw it out. >> But how we doing? That's That's good. >> Yeah. >> All right. Thank you very much, Joe. >> Thank you for having me. It was a lot. >> I was stoked when I heard you were. coming on. I was like, "This is. awesome.". >> Yeah. Look for look forward to working. with you guys. Let's Let's work together. and truly bring the country together. >> I would love that.
