[Assistant] Hit the profile that- Didn't I send it to you, native? His profile? His porno profile?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's amazing. I don't know what it is, I'm really drawn to Tony.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know why I love him? I see him. I see inside he's just a vulnerable, you know, insecure little boy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I'm over it. Yeah, I liked him, but now I don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okie dokie, okie dokie, I can't even watch it. I'm done, thank you. Is he still doing it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a child in the front row of my Vegas show. A seven-year-old girl on her iPhone the whole time. I'm like, whose kid is this? And the people next to them are like, ugh. It's so bizarre. I was like, this is weird. Where's Vegas?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember when that song came out with George Michael? Huuh, sex. Remember that song? I don't want your sex. I've never been like, woah, brazen. I know, he said the S word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love it, it's like Booger from Revenge of the Nerds. It's his smile after he rips one. I know. It's a good smile. That's pretty good. He did good work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, exciting news, Jean. I'm doing a residency here at Fla Pairs in Burbank, California, and I've extended it through December, so pretty much every Thursday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nuzzle with you, uhm, October 3rd through 5th, I'm in Nashville, Tennessee at Zany's. Nice. Uhm, October 17th, Irvine, and the Irvine Improv, October 25th, Pasadena at the Ice House, and then November 22nd, Seattle, and then November 23rd, Portland, and that's the year, and then we're looking at 2020 now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then why wouldn't they switch the order?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a guy, we did a tour in South Africa, Tommy and I and a few other people. And there was a guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The killer. He was the Chris Rock of South Africa. What was his name? Louisa Goa? Yeaah. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, did you like it? Did you like it? It's on Netflix now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was thinking, because I posted something today on social media from where my mom's at, where I, I, clearly it's a joke. And I go, you know, psychologists will say the best way to motivate children is through fear and anxiety. And then I do it a bit. And people in the comments are like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you, I'm a comedian by trade, not a child psychologist dipshit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, dipshit. But I think part of that too is people, it's really just happening on social media, because prior to that, like, you had to write a letter to Comedy Central or whoever, and it's really just a way for somebody to steal your light for a second, like you've got this funny bit up, and then someone can just write something and like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also, and also, let's say, here's what kind of, I don't mind if you're SJW, if you're whatever, but like, let's say you were the world's most racist comedian. Jay Okerson. Big Jay Okerson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, okay, so what? Don't you have a- and the audience laughs, let's say the audience laughs and you do well, like, okay, like why can't everybody just coexist? The racists of the world, the SJ dubs of the world, the woke, the not like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they can tell, dude. They read it. But sorry, go ahead. Just to make that point of the eye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, oh, hold on guys, I'm sorry, but do you fart in front of her? You make her smell those rips?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But also he started a whole new lane of videos on your mom's house, which is the cool guy lane. Guys that are oblivious to how creepy they are, making disgusting requests, stuff like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the grossest part is like, getting to look at you yesterday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hate the ones that really want to lick pussies. Like it's so personal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when your dog shits in- when our dog shits in the house, I can't pick that up fast enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Tom, interesting point you brought up on the last video, is that we've all had thoughts, all humans, sexual humans have these thoughts, but what's the mechanism that pulls that, you know what I mean, the pin on like, I gotta put the video out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's slightly wall-eyed too, is he not? He's got the Biggie Smalls kind of thing. Do you remember this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I just, I don't know where I stand. And then, and then if he'd pop up at the comedy store, how would I feel seeing him after all this shit has happened? I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, he's still talented. No, hands down, one of my still favorite comics, but I don't know if I wanna, I don't know if I wanna work with him. If you're at the store. I don't fucking know. Go ahead, what do you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause there's shows that I listen to that get me, like, you know, I'm a huge star. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not a personality champ. Definitely not a personality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well that's also an abusive boyfriend sitch. I have a friend in high school, her sister got beaten to death by her boyfriend in the bathroom, like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Adios amigo. No, it's literally, it's a, it's a, yes, it is a gate in Tijuana, like you just go from San Diego, you just walk across the bridge, now you're in Mexico, welcome to Mexico. Now coming back in, that's a different story. That's when they stop you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I was 8 months pregnant and a door almost fell on me. That's one of my favorite positions to take about talking back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi mommy, thanks jeans. Thank you for watching this episode of your mom's house. And if you had a great time, watch more videos here, here, here. Don't forget to subscribe here, here, here so that you will know when your mom's house video comes out immediately. Thanks jeans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hell yeah. Hell yeah. And during, you know, that's the thing you re-up on during the meal because it always goes out. Right? That butter, that butter is good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is she? Uh, I think she might be Latinx maybe?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, look under W, the folders with W.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You would? I'd at least give it, give it a college try. I wouldn't go straight to eating cooked cum. Oh, I would. I'd be like, let me try that hot dog, and if it's not going down, that's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, yeaah, it's exactly what you said, it's like a battle cry, but it's not for crypts, it's for bloods. Oh, sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello, mommies! It's me, the water champ, the personality champ, the holdin' it down champ, as, uh, my sweet love, Tom, is out on the road. He, currently, I think he's in Judork Titties right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he has been working so hard this month and he's got some dates I'm gonna read now. Okay, Charlotte, North Carolina on the 13th of November and then the 14th he's in Pensacola and then the 15th Lake Charles, Louisiana.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Austin, sold out, forget it. The 29th, the day after Thanksgiving around there in Melbourne, Florida.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the 30th, Miami, and then December 5th, Erie, Pennsylvania. Uh, the 6th. Oh, that's sold out. Forget that one. Okay. Columbus on the 6th of December. Let's go up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Windsor, Ontario, December 8th, my birthplace. And that's it, the end of the year on the 28th of December in Honolulu, Hawaii. And on the 29th, Kaluhalihalahalahai. I don't know how to say it. Kuhuului.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he is just everywhere, and I love him so much, and I miss him, and I know you guys do too, but we've got a killer episode for you, which I'll get into. Okay, and then my dates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, through the end of the year I met Flappers and Burbank in the Yoohoo room. I'm doing my residency every Thursday. Tickets go really fast, it's just intimate 50 or so people. Seattle, Portland, almost completely gone, and then Burbank, and then 2020. I've got dates in Houston, January 30th.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, February 14th, that's Valentine's Day in Tampa, the Tampa Improv. March 13th through 14th, Miami Improv. March 26th to 28th, Dallas at the Addison Improv. April 3rd and 4th, Judork Titties.

[Assistant] Uh, Caroline's Comedy Club, April 24th and 25th, de moing, de moi. Iowa at the Funny Bone, and then June 12th and 13th, Phoenix, Arizona at Stand Up Live. Tickets at Christina P on


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Line. There you go. So much. We have so much for you in this episode. So excited. Uh, we have Judd Apatow coming in and Wayne Fetterman, his buddy as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, we had so much fun talking to him. You guys all know him. He's a very famous director, stand-up comedian. I mean, what hasn't he done? He's kind of amazing. So enjoy this episode and I'll see you soon. Bye, Mommy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I imagine it's harder to go back to stand up having had all the success you've had than starting anew, you know what I mean? Like going, did you ever, sorry, did you keep doing stand up as you were writing for other people or had you kind of just dropped off?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're so known, like, those first few spots going back, what's your angle?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The silliness too, and the drug culture, there was Pichin Chong, and people seemed to be okay with absurdity, and you also had TV shows like Mork and Mindy, which I don't think could exist now, right? Or would be the biggest hit ever. Right. People were down for silliness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also a lot of this talent we've sort of developed and they've got a following now because of our show. So just, you know, they have a social media presence as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can I tell you, your wife is so fucking hilarious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I agree. It's so hard to play drunk and funny. It's really hard, but man, she's so funny in that movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, I don't give a fuck about texting because I feel like there's a lot of forgiveness because you're like, eh, it's such a quick medium and you can correct it. Oh, I misspelled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't like expressing too many feelings in public. Like I did this thing for, I did this American life for NPR like a week ago because my mom was mentally ill and I had to cut her out of my life and it was horrible. And I started, and I wasn't expecting, at the beginning of the interview I was like, shooting off lines and I'm shucky ducking and then the bitch, you know, the interviewer knows how to get me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It reads differently than hearing the person's voice and stuff. Everything looks shitty printed, I feel like. You can't give a good print interview.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So gross. You know what I thought was adorable? Is when your wife and your kids went to England for the royal wedding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That becomes a normal thing. Back then the school of thought was just don't bring it up and there won't be a problem if you don't bring it into the kids awareness. But you find that if you're just honest with children, they pretty much get it. Like it's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do this podcast where my mom's at for moms and people write in like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do I tell my children their private parts are called? Cause I don't, is it a dingus? I'm like, no, it's a penis. It's a vagina. Like we, yeah, like we have hangups about stuff that they don't. Like they're fine with the reality of stuff. Even like divorce or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's your family. But see, hypervigilance can work in your favor. It made you highly successful. If you channel anxiety in the right direction, A+.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Huge on that. Starting to loosen up. But I keep a close eye, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're gonna traumatize Wayne, oh for god's sake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, what do you feel from a casting perspective? Is he the star of your next film?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, that's interesting you mention that. I too have the same reaction of, uh, sympathy. However, the all-make-you-come guy...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be like, I'll make it go boom, and it's so nasty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think what you're seeing is enthusiasm. I agree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what's interesting? I was just thinking what you were just saying. When, when Tom and I first started, I say I was like year six or seven in standup, and I used to watch a little comedian named Sebastian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, remember he had at the time the Ross dress for Les? The Ross dress for Les bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I remember we were on the same show as him in Santa Monica at some bar, and I just remember watching him and being like, wow, these guys like, he was like the king of, not the open micers, we were like the book show goers at the time, but he had already been doing it for, you know, how many years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We thought we were kind of far along, but then you looked at Sebastian and he was farther along and it took that long now for him to be at the level he's at. It just takes time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, but that spirit of, I think when you grow up in like a dysfunctional system, there's two ways you can go. You can continue the dysfunctional system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seriously? I mean, I can't imagine the torture of carrying around that guilt for uhm, what 16 years you were like, is this kid alive? Is he shitting in a bag? Does everyone, I mean that's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Heavy to carry around for 16, cause you feel like a piece of shit, you probably felt like, I'm such an asshole, like I'm such a piece of shit, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's the psychological part then that you're speaking of? Like what's an example?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm, I love it. You know, it's the model of a survivor, you know, when it's, I think it was a great time for you to be in the Marine Corps because that was a time you needed to survive, to survive your horrible childhood and everything and, and to become a stand-up comedian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. I'm so glad you shared that story though. You know what's really crazy listening to you, if I may make it about me for a moment?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That could have been, I mean in the 80s, I was alleged, I was, I spent the summer of 1984 alone in my dad's house. Like, I should have been, an adult should have been watching me for, I was probably your age when I was being left alone. That could have been,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That could have been anybody in the 80s in a way, you know, the initial thing that starts you into that horrible cycle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And isn't, I know, and that's so interesting what you said that you just started bringing up race all the time with people and isn't that what solved the problem? Do you know what I mean? Like now-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but now it's the complete opposite ethic that you're not supposed to say anything because someone's gonna get in trouble and it's like, dude, that's not the way to solve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now when I hear Brian say the phrase, cause he can mimic it very well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, yeaah, cause when he, when you repeat it, it sounds the same as how he's saying it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause Robert Paul Champagne eventually was found. It took two years or so. And eventually we will know him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me tell you something. I go opposite. Don't say shit, but give up on this bitch. Here's why.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because, she don't give a fuck about him. If you have to tell some bitch, I like you, it is not mutual. Cause I should, you should, you know how you feel it with somebody? Like, I think that, but she likes me. I know it. If a man has to confess his love,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I say, I say, give up on this girl, shut the fuck up, go find some other hoe. She's somebody else's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The difference is he gets to keep his best friend, his community of people,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but I mean, basically he's gonna put a grenade in his entire social life if he comes out with this big truth. And usually when you're obsessing about somebody who's not reciprocating, it's all on you. You know, that's not about love. That's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That person shouldn't even be an option to you, so the fact that he's in, so into somebody who's not giving back, you gotta look at himself. It's not about her. I'm sure she's not that lucky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a lot of times these girls have that princess shit going where nobody's as good as daddy or nobody's up to my high standards and that's also a way of keeping intimacy away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, foot consultant, I thought, why not dip my toe, so to speak, into the pool and become a sex worker myself. And I have, I've become a sex worker now. Stop it!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is it. Well, they start you at 15 as the floor, and I thought, you know, I'm a little better than that, but I also want to keep things affordable for people out there because I respect, uh, a hard day's work, you know, and so, I thought I'd keep it, you know, kinda light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if you want a tip, because you can tip on there, if you want to get into some private sort of things, we can do that. I'm setting up an OnlyFans account and a FanCentro, uh, perhaps as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's up, Michael? I'm sorry you live in Wyoming, uh, not because Wyoming isn't a beautiful place, but because I don't know when I'm gonna get out to Wyoming. Uh, and I would like to, because I think I would enjoy it there quite a bit. In the meantime, though, I wanna make it $20 worth it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I want to give you the hot feet action that you so crazed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not at all. Oh, I'm not saying his life's terrible. I'm saying I'm just a couple terrible things from becoming Robert Paul Shannon. And then my life would be very well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, this message is from Tony. It goes out to his buddy AA Ron. Yo, what's up, dude? I hear you wanna fuck some feet, bro. Do you wanna fuck some feet or what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's part of my niche, uh, it's part of what you pay for when you come to my cameo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is some Teen Wolf shit, dude. Yeaah. Yeaah, I got that Utah Jazz joint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I haven't gotten that specific request on Cameo yet, but the, you know, its existence is young, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know? Would you at least give me like a month heads up or something? Yea, of course. I mean, I could conceivably do both for a little while until it might get overwhelming. The requests, you know, after a while I'm gonna be like, Tom, I just, I have to keep the foot content going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would love to be a part of that. I could be, yea, for sure. I'd be like, you stupid fool, give me your money. You know, like stuff like that. That's what you do, right? You little bitch. Give me my Amazon wish list.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, my friend, might be able to help me with my little situation. Ugh. What's with the sound? That I don't know. Now. Fetus, Jess, Maddie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I will. I think I will. That's a great point. Especially because I gave so many people free content on the podcast. And, you know, it's just, the thing is, you know, with us sex workers, we're always up against it. We're always up against the man coming down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're in their car, I mean we could do that if that's your kink but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is our career. I'm really proud of you and I hope you make a lot of money doing this. Thank you. What's up with your passport?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, seven more days, dawg. I was trying to get the message out to you. Oh, really? Yeah, it's coming next week. They told you? Yeah. No, I mean, like, I did it, and they- this is the schedule time. I didn't do the expedited, uh, thing at first, and that's why it's taking so long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, if I was on Cameo sooner, I would have paid for the expedited, uh. Alright, alright, alright. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I would love to plug, uh, the fact that I'm going to be in Seattle on September 5th at Chop Suey. The next day, I'm gonna be in Tacoma at a place called Alma Mater that's on the 6th. And then the 8th, I'm gonna be in Portland at Mississippi Studios. If you're in Portland, please buy tickets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tickets are on my Twitter at Jay underscore Potter or you can go to my Instagram at Josh underscore Potter. Uh, links are there and they are a plenty of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, no matter where life leads, I know that as long as you are there, that is where I'm meant to be. I am your FGT RTD.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like a lot of pressure when people say that. Really? Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, now I'm 46. You're beautiful. Thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I'm dyslexic, first of all, so I think being in a normal school environment would have been hard for me. Especially at that time when they didn't really understand learning differences.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, uhm, I was a very introverted, artistic kid. Right. So to be able to have that outlet in a way that uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it was encouraged and nurtured, that aspect of who I was and that critical thinking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and creative thinking, uhm, I think really helped me. But I also have to say I have exceptional parents. Like on my way here my mom was calling and calling and calling and I got into your


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lobby and, and I said it, you know, I better call my mom back and make sure everything's okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, sweet mom that never came to set with me. She always hired a guardian, which I think was also important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I had a younger brother and it was important for her to be around for him when he got home from school and to make dinner and make sure the meatballs were on the table and I just think...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I think I, I would not have done any of it differently. And I, you know, I joke about like, well, I never got to go to prom and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of those things that I think, you know, the grass is always greener, but uhm, I think it was good for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, and whispering, and uhm, thank god this was before paparazzi followed people around, because that would have been a whole other element. But, I remember feeling a sense, mind you, I was very young, so I don't remember a lot of it. But I'll tell you what I do remember.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember making, it making me feel uncomfortable that there was a potential that the people that I was with were uncomfortable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember feeling like, I remember this one time we went to Disneyland as a family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it got a little hectic and I remembered feeling so uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, I think when you look at these, you know, let's, give me an example. I don't wanna, I don't wanna say no, but give me an example of a child star that ended up fucked up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that, yeaah, he was I think before even my generation. Maybe someone a little bit more relevant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, but look at that family, right? It's a lot of kids, there is a divorce that went on. You know, I feel like if any of these kids just took the more traditional route of like going to school and going to college or whatever, they would have had a, they would have struggled regardless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, and I think being in the industry sort of amplifies the opportunity of fucking up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, you make the choices that you make in life based on what you think is right and wrong and that's usually based on your upbringing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yeah, so like that. I think it was good for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ryan White. So, so here's when my life changed and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, similar to not remembering what my life was like before fame, I don't really remember what my life was like before fighting for injustices. So, you know, in the 80s, which was the height of Who's the Boss, we were a top 10 show at the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A-a-a frenzy of this pop teen icon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, I got a phone call from Elton John one day, just to give you an idea of how obscure my life really was. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was, it was crazy. And, uh, he said, I met this, this little boy, his name is Ryan White, and you're his idol and he would like to meet you. So at the time, the stigma surrounding HIV AIDS was at its absolute worst. We had no idea about the disease. They were, they were feeding us information, false information about how


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How the disease was contracted and so this little boy, Ryan White's school kicked him out of school because they said that he could give


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To go back to school and actually won and he spoke in front of Congress and just he was 15 years old and he was a hero and he and I became friends and he asked me to kiss him on the Phil Donahue show to prove that you could not get HIV AIDS from casual contact.

[Assistant] So because he and I had built a friendship, I did have the information. Okay. And because I, uh, was such a cheerleader for him going through his, um, his journey, uh, to be, to be heard, um, I had the information so I knew.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, I mean, still a scary thing, and I remember having this conversation with my parents of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I wasn't scared of that I would ever con- contract, uhm, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] HIV AIDS, I was scared of people bullying me about this moment in my life. Right. And I remember my parents saying to me, other people don't matter. Nobody ma- it doesn't matter. Really? What other people say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you feel like this is something you want to do, we support you and we think it's important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I had their support, and uhm, you know, it was the moment that changed my life. Because here was the deal, it was like, I almost felt...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guilt about having a certain amount of success.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At such a young age. But this put it all in perspective. I was like, oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is what it means to be famous. This is what having a platform means. And I got that really distinctly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was, it was a pretty big deal. I mean there's, I still to this day have people come over to me and say, you know, I remember seeing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Phil Donohue show and, you know, you changed my mind and, and, you know, I think...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a, it was the right, it was the right thing for me. It was a blessing, uh, to be given that gift at such a young age.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, to put in perspective what it all meant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but I do have to say I was raised very socially and politically aware. You were. My dad was part of the student strike in the 60s, uhm, so there were very specific lessons that my parents, uh, instilled in my brother and I about, uhm, human rights.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The towels could not have AIDS. I'm here to tell you and everyone that's watching this that towels cannot transmit or have AIDS. Oh my fucking god.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I was so fucking frustrated that no one was talking about these abortion bans that were popping up throughout the entire country. All over the country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Tennessee, uh, Texas. I mean, Texas, they actually had a debate on whether women that have abortions should get the death penalty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can I do that would actually make this


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meaning, it's fucking too dangerous for women to have sex, because what if we got pregnant?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I mean, you know, it was kind of a, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, quote unquote, that the cum is actually, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, we gotta move on next. Do you get it or not? I get it. I totally get it. Okay, show me another one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Humans would cease to exist. That's it. It would be over. Humans would cease to exist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't have to fart. I actually don't fart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or for starting, you know, a hashtag me too, where there's so much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was coincidental, yes. I had no idea of Tarana Burke's work beforehand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Within like 12 hours it had 53,000 comments. Fuck! Yes. It's been used in 85 different countries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, throughout the world. Wow. Which is crazy in 85 different languages. But uhm, yeaah, so it was such a happy coincidence because when I learned of Tarana's work I actually had this


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's almost like a sigh of relief because I felt like it was so much bigger than I knew how to handle. And that wasn't my area of expertise as far as my activism went. That wasn't my wheelhouse. So to have this incredible, strong, amazing woman to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nurture this, this hashtag into a real movement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think it was a perfect storm, right? I don't know that if Trump were...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, president that it, it, if he was not president, if it would have taken off the way it did. I think women, you know, we, we all saw the grab him by the pussy video and then he was elected president and he beat a woman and then you could sort of sense that they were gonna try to roll back women's rights.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Concerned, they were worried, they were fearful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and I think that it enabled people to stand in solidarity, or women to stand in solidarity, uhm, or I should say sexual abuse of survivors to stand in solidarity with each other, but not have to like, name, name,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The abuser or exactly what had happened, it was more about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This has also happened to me and this is a problem and we need to deal with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and still to this day, you know, we have these broad numbers of, you know, 20 women have come forward against...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then he has this thing of like, which he always goes to, she's not my type. Which is so fucking gross.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every day I wake up angry at like another thing, but today I woke up angry at the media.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, spanning his entire life, basically. And I feel like the media really validated his candidacy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it drove me fucking crazy to watch the Democratic debate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because, you know, we had, we had, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Andrew Yang and like Marianne Williamson who are two outsiders, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who were kind of the equivalent of what Trump


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And yet they did not give those two people the time of day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and yet they completely embraced the Trump candidacy as being legitimate. And yet here are two people that are actually making two


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their policy and their platform are pretty substantial, right? Like Andrew Yang is saying,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of automation, nobody's gonna have a job, so we have to figure out what the fuck that means for the people of this country. What are people gonna do when automation completely takes over?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and he's got this, you know, giving people a thousand dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A month to do whatever they wanna do with it. Hopefully put it back into the economy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, which might lift people out of poverty, right? Which I think we can all agree this country should work towards that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then Marianne Williamson, who's actually putting the soulful aspect of what's happening back into the conversation. So it's not all about politics, it's about humanity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and she's sort of coming at it as a humanitarian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both very legitimate things to say, right? And then you look at someone like Trump.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, what makes you think you could run for president? Well, I run businesses. Like, did not have a platform at all, and yet he was totally legitimized.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He knows how to get attention, he knows how to deflect, um, he understands a sound bite.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope that there is a candidate that can actually speak to the people that Trump spoke to. Because I do think that that is a very important element that people are not talking about. And by the way, I don't know that any of the candidates are actually doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is, they are not saying I know that you are busting your ass and you're still living below the poverty line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know why I'm gonna fix it? Because we got to this point making bad choices, we could get out of this making good choices. We're gonna do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I don't feel like anyone is speaking to those people and I think that's what he did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think that's the case either. I don't think, I don't think we can get lazy and I think these candidates really have to step up. I love them all. I think they're all great, but there's not one person where I'm saying, yeah, that guy can beat Trump. That's the person. That's the person that's gonna turn this country around and, and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, of all of it. Yes, but here's the problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is. Here's the problem is that we look at these networks, right, like MSNBC, Fox, CNN, they're obviously one-sided. They're, eh, eh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To me, it is, we've become addicted to the drama of that entertainment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No bias, here's what happened. Here's the facts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you know what? Make it, make it like a rocket ship. That's what we used to do with- Okay, you know how they, they give you the little mask?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my teeth were so, even in Charmed my teeth were so fucked up. I still wear braces. What? Really? I have those in misaligned, not right now, but yea. What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I do love farts. Yeah. Like I think they're funny. Yeah, they're all, they're great. I just don't do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went, well, I breastfed my son for a year and then my daughter for, uh, two years. And they're three years apart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I was either breastfeeding or pregnant basically for like six years. Uhm, but, uh, yeaah, the nipple thing after you breastfeed is not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know why your nipples change colors after- Please tell me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the baby sees contrast in the beginning. Right. So your nipple gets darker so the baby can find the nipple. It's amazing, isn't it? The human b- the women's... Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm tired. How old are your kids now? Seven and four. Okay. So you're kinda out of the... Yeah, it does get easier for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I actually in one of my interviews said that Cora Lee, which is this very southern character that I play, was a Trump supporter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and it's just helpful to have that communication I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It depends on the situation and the actor. And I think you know that going in, like who you have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so apparently I really did suck. But yeah, terrifying, terrifying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was just, you know, it's us, it's not him, he just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think it's nice. I think that's good, because it really does have to feel like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that this goes back to what I was saying about, about,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At 15 years old, having an experience that enabled me to use my platform in a way that was substantial, but I got so much backlash at that time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That to me, it's not even building up a wall. It's, it's just acknowledging or knowing at a young age that if you're gonna have an opinion about something, people are gonna disagree with it and people are gonna be fucking pissed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but otherwise it's, you know, it just comes along with the territory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, you know, it's, I think like everyone's journey, you're on this trajectory and you try to take, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lessons when they come and grow and evolve, uhm, you make mistakes, uh, you know, I have anxiety disorder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, a lot of therapy, a lot of like, figuring it out, a lot of talking, really supportive family, friends, husband, uhm, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do. It's called Sorry Not Sorry. And it's basically an extension of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, sound bites from historical speeches, uhm, and news, uh, reports that kind of give us an idea of how we got to where we are right now based on the topics. Uhm, and we also highlight awesome grassroots activists throughout the country because really they're making the magic happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and they don't get any recognition at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so I'm really proud of it. You're passionate about it. Yea, I really, I love it. I love it. It's my most favorite job right now besides being Milo and Bella's mommy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's cool. You guys have to come on. For sure. We can talk about...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just confused. I don't, I don't understand. But is this like a social network?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Literally changed my life. But the Lexapro really helps. Yeah, see, I'm on an antidepressant, I'm on a SNRI, I'm on an effectser. It's just a different, like, uptake, intake thing. And that works for you? You feel like that helps? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's great. Yeah, it helps and thank God for it. Yeah, are you still in therapy? I am still in therapy. Me too, I go every week. Have you done somatic therapy? I've heard of this, I'd like to. It's really interesting. So this doctor that sort of formulated it, uh, would watch animals in the wild.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And notice that animals are in a state of fight or flight basically all day long, fighting for their food, right? But they don't obviously have anxiety.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you look at an animal after it does one of these hunting, whatever, or is hunted, they do this sort of shake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but, so it's a, it's sort of a form of physical therapy plus talk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just when the child obesity rate started going up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I went, this is so ridiculous, because I didn't go to regular school, I didn't play on sports teams, I didn't have a PE instructor, so I used to train with like a private instructor that was very much like Jane Fonda.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause you know, the Jane Fonda workout videos. So that was where this came from. It was an idea that I said, you know, why don't we do a workout video for kids since, you know, the obesity levels going up and, and the, the funding for PE is, is being cut. So that's where this came from. This was your idea?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, there he is. Is he an actor too? No, he's a music editor for films. He just had a baby too. We're 10 years apart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I had, I had permed my hair, but I also had naturally curly hair, so it was like that weird kinky curl, and then I had some hairdresser say, you know, I can control the curl by perming it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it was, I mean that was just the look, I used to bend over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Beautiful experience. Oh god. And yeah, and we're just like fucked up family members.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Georgina Chapman is just an amazing woman. Uhm, so yeah, so I would say him for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The great, the great part about doing that show was, is that we never took ourselves seriously, even while saying those lines. Because it was literally like, it was either like that or we were making weird potions or we were doing green screen acting to nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'd have like a director off to the side being like, okay, the demon is running after you. He's running. You're scared. You're scared. He throws a fireball and you duck. You know, and we'd be like, and we duck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we'd, you know, and then we'd have to go into ABR and do voiceover stuff to the picture. So we'd be in like a, a, a sound booth going like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a skill too, right? To know where the camera- I cried for three weeks when that show ended. I did not get out of bed for three weeks straight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it was those formative years too, it was like mid-twenties to early thirties. I know Who's the Boss went for eight years too, but I was so-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I did. I did. I mean they went through them first. My parents always went through them first. That's nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] of raising kids where we see that. I just want her to know that that's the way you feed an infant, if you can. If not, no big deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just wanted to say hi. Hi. Wish you a great day. Tell you that meeting you yesterday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And getting a look at you was one of the greatest moments of my life. You were so beautiful. You don't know how beautiful you are to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's right in front of the paywall, just go to Comedy Central and I guess type in, and it's right there. You watch it for free, you don't have to have a subscription or nothing. You know what I love? You just have to be in America probably. Just be here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, somebody just did it, but not with somebody who's famous, like with an open mic'er. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I just got tagged in a photo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] of some guy who's at the comedy store. I performed that night. This is three weeks ago. And uh, I was like, I got a picture with the great Ian Edwards and it's some other dudes. And I'm like, then I just reposted it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From, uh, I think I was born in Hammersmith County Hospital. Oh, Hammersmith Palai?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's pretty much the normal, like, pick that you run into. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And it, right? Yeah. And it. And it. After everything. Yeah. Everything is in it. And it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're looking for validation after everything you say, innit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the thing, does it kind of? It might. It depends, I gotta run into...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somebody that throws me off. Like, I haven't spoken to, I'm in California, so I haven't spoken to a Jamaican in a long time. Like my mother has a Jamaican accent, but it's Englishized, you know what I mean? So I'd have to like run into somebody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's just from somewhere that even in Jamaica you can't even understand that shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so, when I started at the store, Barry Diamond was there. Oh, I remember that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe, I'm not, but he's gotta update his black guy. Right. Right. Cause he sounds like a dated, it's too dated. Like 70s black guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like prime Eddie Murphy black guy. I remember there was a kid that was pretending to be Eddie Murphy's son. That kid was like 20 and sounded like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For real, for real, so then that kid and Richard Pryor's son were gonna do a tour together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they got, the Eddie Murphy fake got found out and I think Eddie threatened to sue him or some shit like that. Damn. But that kid, when I said, they said Eddie Murphy's son is doing a set upstairs, I went up there to see him, I'm like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why does he sound, why doesn't he sound like the black kids now? Right, he sounded like, so that kind of made me, and then later on they found out that makes sense. He was trying to make his voice look like Eddie Murphy. Right, he's doing like a basic impression. Interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, imagine somebody coming here talking like Chaucer. Or somebody coming here signing off Shakespeare. Where's your time machine? Because the English, regular English has changed. Like, shit just changes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had relatives there. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. And then, yeah, so my mom moved there first and then she got a job and got all her stuff together and then brought us over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's warm here. I'm staying here. I'm not, I'm not going to stay. You mean I don't have to deal with these winners? We were talking to this realist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Blown away and impressed by Boise. It's beautiful. It's beautiful. They got mountains and I saw that whenever I see they're building in a place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] African continent. There's more people there than us. You want to stay here? I know. Or you want to fight the entire continent of Africa and own some of it? That's how powerful weather is. It'll just turn you into a monster. It's everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So here's the thing that I was talking about the other day with a friend and it's because you brought it back to my mind. Like when I was a kid, I never asked another kid or had a conversation about the weather.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How come when we were kids we didn't give a fuck? That's so true. Only since I've been an adult have I even tolerated. You're totally right. Like somebody saying something to me about the weather and tagging their thing about the weather so that they can tag it back and we go back and forth. It's totally true. Like it was never hot or too hot when I was a kid. That's true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not really, because what bugs me is when people, man, it's hot. I say, it's California in the summertime. Like, it's this way every summertime. You lived here 10 years. What are you saying to me? Of course. This is some obvious shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm trying to figure that out now. How long were you there? Uh, for at least maybe like 10 years or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like a prison sentence. You don't have to kill yourself. Summer's only three months away. And then we just live for the summer and then it'll end and then you just deal with the Christmas will help you deal with the beginning of winter. Cause it's a favorable fun season and it's just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They would just put mon at the end of every sentence. So it would be, hello, how are you doing today? Mon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know? What time is it? Mon. So that's how they would Jamaican every sentence up. With the mon. And we don't say mon after everything. Can I guess? Can I guess?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes mon or want mon. Like, like, it's like hi. So it's like, but instead of what's happening, it's like want mon. Okay. That's like what's up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's a good one to like. Like, there's no bad Bob Marley song. So it's cool to like the catalog. The whole, like, yea, like every song that he used to have was just a hit. Like, he died before he could get bad. Which probably is inevitable for any artist. But, you know, he died before, like, you know, yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Damn. I think he was 36. And his 40 children are just here to carry on his legacy. Maybe like 50, 60.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 12. Well Eddie Murphy doesn't he have like 17? He has 10. 10? Eddie's got 10. How old was he when he died? I can't read that. What number does he say?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a little WWWF of Rampage. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's accurate. Yeah, that's accurate. It's not that I don't like them. I know what you mean. I got better with them, but I'm like, I'll avoid them if I can. You're not into it, I understand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you pee in a hot tub when she's in it but you won't if I'm there? Well here's the other thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I would- Because you'd just be like, that fucking guy's crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know what though, this is why I wouldn't do it, because this is, you learn things about your life compared to other people's life. And there's certain people that can get away with shit that you can't. Like if Tom did it, fucking crazy Tom, he pissed in the thing and ha ha ha.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I did it, that motherfucker pissed it. And then it'll go around in the negative way. Well, fuck my shit up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me and JB Smooth were trying to get to the show. We didn't have enough time to get there. We thought we didn't have enough time to get there, so we weren't. It was a last minute gig, like in Tennessee. We're in New York. Tony Woods was like, listen man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is kind of, like, you know Will Sylvain's? It's a comic in, uh, New York. And it's like, it's a long time ago. And, uh, he'll just talk to girls, like, Who you fuckin' bitch? Who you fuckin' bitch?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. I find it charming. Because it's me with you. Yeah, because you're the type of person that doesn't disgust and you laugh and it's encouraging. It's encouraging. You encourage him and he's like, shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like we have a lot of mean ass jokes. Yeah. Mean jokes. And it's funny as shit. A lot of people can't handle that. Not farting, but mean shit. Like what are you saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other day she was like, I'll fucking kill you. And I was fucking rolling. Yeah. Cause I did something, you know, said some ill shit so she can take a joke and she can give a joke. I remember that. And it's just fun. And we just talk shit and it's like, oh, we could.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just be, you know. Boundary-less. Boundary-less, yea. We've talked, we've talked, we continue to talk a lot of shit to each other. Oh, that's beautiful. This is giving me chills, by the way. I swear to God, this is giving me chills. It's the dream. Really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cause I try to do that on stage is like, say the things that I want to say. And then when people come up to you after, it's like, man, I can't believe you said that. That was funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, well I was, I was in there once when I was from like age like 5 to like 11. Uh huh. And then again from 13 till I was an adult. So before 5 were you at home, you were with your


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was with my, I was with my biological mom and her mom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, one time, cause we, cause my, my grandma, my mom left because my grandma liked to date abusive men and she couldn't take it, you know, so she, she left. And my grandma was like working two, three jobs, you know, and she used to clean houses for rich people and she was a nurse and all this other shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we, me and my brother would be, we would, we walked across the street to go to school. We would be home by ourselves, you know. I was five, he was seven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know how they used to have the cops come talk to you at school for dare and they would all say their name was Officer Friendly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, who, and she tried to do it for a little while, but she already had two kids already. And so she couldn't do it. So they, you know, they sent us with my brothers. Me and my brother have different dads. They sent us with his dad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I, and then me and my brother got split up. I went with my father and he stayed with his grandmother, you know.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're, me and my dad are close now, but back then I was just, I was just a handful of men. Oh, you were? Oh yeah. Just because I, I think when you do, when you that young and you don't, you don't realize it, but you have like, you don't trust authority, you know, because adults keep passing you around. So you get that feeling of like, fuck them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, you know, I'll never forget when it happened to me. They tried to put me on Riddle. Right? Cause my teacher kept telling me I was bouncing off the wall ball ball. But I ain't trust this shit cause I ain't never heard of this shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, and they, and my grandma used to make us, you know, take it in front of her, and I started hiding, I would hide it under my tongue, spit it out. After like a month, they had a parent-teacher conference, and I watched, I watched my brother's mother, my grandma, I watched her, the teacher, and the school counselor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's when, that's the first time I realized, oh these motherfuckers don't know what they're talking about. I'm gonna do what I want. Yeah. And that, and that, but I was, after that I was like, I'm gonna do what the fuck I want. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

You're going to remember me, man. But, uh, but then when I've, and I've spent all that time, like just bouncing around and then, uh, at one of my foster homes, I was playing with a gun and shot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I shot the other foster kid. What? Yeah. Yeah, man. It was some wild shit. Holy shit. Like that fucked me up. Of course. Yeah, and I uhm. Did he live? Well, that's interesting, right? So,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, he, he had the gun. Somebody was, he was holding a gun for somebody. And...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, right, no, it was funny to me at the time, right, cause I watched, I watched him like show me like, oh, look, it's empty dumb ass, you know, and then he loaded it back up and I'm like, alright, whatever, I'm gonna get you back. And then like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, a month later or so he was, he was in the shower getting ready for a date and I went and grabbed it. And you know, and I did what he did and I dropped the clip out. You've got the one in the chamber. It was one in the chamber. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And because I didn't know shit about guns. I'd never seen or touched a gun and that I saw him put, that's how he showed me it was empty. So I was like boom. How close were you doing? I was like as far from me to you, like maybe. Where'd you shoot him? In the stomach. And it was a deuce deuce too, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's not a high enough caliber to break bones, so it'll just bounce around inside you, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, that was such a fucking crazy night. And I remember trying to lie. I was trying to, because I was, I knew the gun was dirty. Like, you know, the gun had bodies on it or something, you know, I knew it was dirty. So I was trying to lie to protect him, but I also wanted them to help him. So like the cops was,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they got to, when they got to the, uh, to the house, the ambulance got to the house, the paramedics got there before the cops, but they couldn't come in until the cops cleared the house. Whoa. Oh, right. Right. And they're like, we don't know if it's somebody still inside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He came out of the shower and got, came into the bedroom. So he's, he's on the floor, naked in the towel. Bleeding. Bleed. Well, I didn't, it was like bile mixed with it. So it was like green and like profusely bleeding. Oh yeah. Yeah. And just, but still talking, still like he telling me what to do, but profusely. And I remember he told me to call his friend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he was like, tell him, tell him what, I called his friend and I'm like, yo, he's like, yo, call 911. And I'm like, yo, he told me to call you. He's like, he's dying, nigga.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't listen to him, you know what I mean? Cause I ain't know what to do. But the cops were already, they were someone, one of the neighbors had already called the cops.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, man. And that's actually how they knew I was lying, because... Who knew you were lying? The cops. About, what, where the gun was? Right. No, because I told the cops that somebody ran in the door, somebody came in the back door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And shot him and ran, somebody came in and shot him and ran out of the back door. Yeah. You know, cause he told me to tell them that and told me to throw the gun over the back door fence. And that was the most bitch ass throw, I threw it like three feet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was not, no, I wasn't panicking, I was just overwhelmed. You know what I mean? I was just, it was too much for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 16 or 17. So do they finally go in? They finally go in, you know, they get him to the hospital, he's in intensive care, all this and this and that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now I'm in the police station and to me, I'm thinking I told the perfect lie, but this cop has just figured me all out. He tells me exactly what happened. He's like, listen, man, I, I don't think you shot, I don't think you shot him on purpose, but I know you shot him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I mean? And he tells me, right, I'm like, nope, no, no, no, I didn't. And then he tells me exactly what happened. And I'm like, okay, fuck. You know, and then he takes me to the hospital with the family. You know, and I'm- With this kid's family?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well no, cause he was a foster kid too. Right, right, right. So with what family? So my foster mom, her, her family, her husband had just passed away. And so it was her brother who hated me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know, her sisters and her, her real kids and all of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we all sitting around and now they still don't know that it was me. They, they bought my story. You know what I mean? Cause they don't know the shit the cop knew. They still don't know it was me. And.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and I can still, it's some, it's certain people that think it was, you know, cause the, but they think it was like nefarious shit, like I shot him, was trying to shoot him or whatever. And I can hear little whispers, little rumors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The mom is just devastated cause she was like the sweetest fucking lady. Like the nicest lady. And.

[Assistant] Like falls apart in tears, you know what I mean? Because, and she's mostly sad because she knows what's gonna happen to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that was, that was, uh, in the end, I didn't get the, so I wasn't allowed to contact them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the kid? Right, so I didn't know whether he died. Well, I knew he didn't die because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was the only one that could confirm the real story, you know what I mean? So I knew he didn't die because I'd never gotten no trouble. You didn't get any trouble? No. What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, because, because I think you, I think it has something to do with the fact that like you, you, technically the state is your parent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I mean? Yeah. I don't know. He lived. He did live, but I never, I didn't speak to him until I was like 30.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was good, cause you know, I was dreading the con- I didn't speak to any of them. And I was dreading the conversation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when, and I, cause I thought, you know, I thought everyone was upset with me. I didn't know, I didn't know his condition. I didn't know if he got shitting with a bag and all that, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was best friends with my previous foster mother, so I got her number through them, and I called her, and uh, and she fuckin' laughed about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was like, oh yeaah, I remember that. You were something else. I was like, what? Something else? Yeaah. She was like, that's the kind of person she was. She was just so forgiving and so like, you know how you meet all these bullshit ass Christians?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like she was a real Christian, like she was about that life. So she was like all about forgiveness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I mean? Like the internet would hate her now. She would have hugged that, uh, Amber Guy girl. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Like she was that kind of person. So, and then I talked to him about it and he was like, it was nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To me it was like one of the most significant traumatic experiences ever. And to them it was just like some stupid shit that I did. He was like that too? He was like, aw man, come on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Yeah. But you don't realize you're fucked up. I know. And then, but here's the whole irony of it all, is all the training I did in the Marine Corps, and I never shot anybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. And how was that? Well, that's, I go to a house and it's like, uhm, and it's like these kids have like been through some shit. You know what I mean?

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was other shit in between, but it's all kinda blurry to me. I will have to like read my record.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So net, so when you turn 18, at least that's how it used to be, when you turn 18 in foster care, you go back to, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where it's like, they decide, Oh, you know what time you plan to, you plan to Trump it, then you go six months into the trumpet. Then they kick you out of their house and then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was like, oh shit, I ain't, I don't know. I ain't, I don't think about that. He's like, you ever thought about joining the military? He's like, well, maybe, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, I get my GED, I try to join the Air Force, but the pending weed charge is like keeping me from joining. So, the Air Force guy on the phone, he's like, yo, you're not Air Force material, and hung up on me.

[Assistant] So I don't know if I called the wrong number or if there's just a hotline or whatever the fuck. He answered the phone and he's like, what? I was like, I told him like, yo, I got a little weed charge. He's like, how much weed? I was like, a little bag of weed. He's like, look, I'll come pick you up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? Yeaah. The marine. He's like, you're marine material. Right, and he's like, I can pick you up, and then, and then they, so, the ASVAB, you take the ASVAB test, you know, to see what job you can get in the marines, like the military SAT, if you will.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, but before they take you down there, you take a little practice one in their office. You know what I mean? Cause they have quotas and shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he was like, oh man, dude, you can have any job you want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My dad loves bringing that shit back. Yea, he was like, this is what you do, you go in, you take one of these fuckin' technical jobs, and you come out of this motherfuckin' making money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I mean? And he was so right. I'll never forget him. Shout out Staff Sergeant Scott. Oh, he probably higher ranked than that by now or retired or some shit. But he really fucking was into like- He directed you correctly. Oh yeah, yeah. I mean, he was probably trying to bang my stepmom too, but- Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, he showed up at my house like two weeks later and he had a letter from the court saying that they declined to prosecute. Really? Yeaah. Did he handle that? I don't think he's allowed to. I don't know what he did, but you know, Marines are...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, they know, they always know the way they can technically get around the rule or whatever, but I know they drop the fucking charges.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I mean? And you, I love that you showed up. You're like, I want to kill you. Lucky. Yea, and I was like, oh you did that for me? Like, yes. I will join the Marine Corps. So, he comes to pick me up to, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So go to the MEP station where like you, you, you gonna take your piss test, you know, get all your shit out of the way. And he was like, is it, you got anything going on, anything that I need to know about, anything else that might disqualify you? And I was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] God damn it. Turned my motherfucking car around. Took me, took me to, uh, I don't know, CVS or somewhere like that. Bought a gallon of water, and he was like, this better be fucking gone when we get where we're going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, he drove me to, uhm, he drove me to like some other lab where they gave me a piss that's there. And I mean, I ain't never had a piss batter in my whole fucking life. I smashed that guy in the water, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then is it off to like Parris Island or something? No, then he, no, no, and then he grabbed me like real, on some real shit, like grabbed me with like power. He was like, when you get to boot camp, you gonna have another piss test.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They test, they'll test like 30 of you and put you all in one box and they'll randomly test one of the samples and if one of those fails they'll test the whole box, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they, the way they count on catching people in bootcamp is most people telling themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, cause you so, you so used to believing in the power of the government that you think they got technology and shit that they don't. So he was like, it's a time going to come up called the moment of truth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they gonna, you know, after they piss test you, they gonna pull everybody in the room and go, listen, everybody's results are back from the test. And before I read them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If anybody wants to come clean about something and let me know now, then the penalty will be way less, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause all the shit he did, all the way he went out of his way and put his ass on the line so that I could- So he's like, when that happens, shut the fuck up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he was like, when that happens, you shut the fuck up. And I did, and I saw, I saw a whole, and I wanted to tell people, and I saw a whole bunch of people standing up. Really? Oh yeah, we probably lost like eight people. You know? And I was like, god damn. And then how was bootcamp, dude?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, I mean, it's, it was, it was- Is it brutal, or you're like, it's just hard, but you get over it? It's just more psychological. You know, I mean, how hard it is physically, it just depends on what shape you're in when you get there. How were you? I was bad. I was bad. Pretty bad shape, yeaah. I was dying, but by the time I left, I was great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How long was it? It was 13 weeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's brutal though. It gets brutal, but most of it is like psychological. And I know some people that were like, it was easy. Those people are psychopaths.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because they play you, there's like a scene, there's a senior drill instructor. And he is like the dude that, like he has all these assistants, and the assistants hate you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just because you're, just because you're a civilian. They think you're scum. They think you don't deserve to be a Marine. And they treat you that way. And the senior drill instructor is there, like he is just, he stands back and lets them fuck you up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then he comes in and goes, okay, okay. You know, alright, that's enough. Y'all get out of here. Go home. You're treating my kids bad. Go home. And that happens a few times, you know what I mean? And then one day, out of the blue,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He'll come in and he'll be pissed about something and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's like, you know what, y'all just, y'all fucking disrespect me like this. And he'll fucking leave and just leave you with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the assholes. Right. And, and, and bro, when I tell you that, that shit works on everybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because, it's like the whole process is to break you down. Yep, to build you up. To make you believe you're nothing as you are. And then when you're finished...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're better than everyone. That's why all these motherfuckers get out of bootcamp. They, they cocky as fuck. They think they invincible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the whole point is to push you. The whole point is to make you keep, is to get you used to misery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One, get you used to operating when things are miserable. Two, to get you to instantly obey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To get, to get you so scared of not obeying that you don't even think you just do what you're told. And then three, to make you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To make you believe that you can do shit even when you know you can't. Cause a whole bunch of times you'll hit what you think is your limit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, cause that's the one thing I got out of bootcamp is like, sometimes you, I think people think that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trying your hardest is when you try until it gets hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People try until it gets hard and then they go, oh, I tried. That was hard, yeaah. Right. But, but really in the Marine Corps, it's like, no, trying your hardest is trying until it gets hard and then going harder. Right. Until you fucking got nothing until it, and when it, when it hurts so bad, when your whole body hurts and you still got fucking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, three miles to go. You know what I mean? And you still, you go until you can't fucking go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, I can really go. Exactly. And they make you, every time they make you do it again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me, it's like the Marine Corps wasn't for me, but I needed that. I needed to stop, like because of the false kid shit, I needed to stop feeling sorry for myself. You know what I mean? I needed to stop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause the Marine Corps don't give a fuck what your mommy did or any of that shit. They like, all of us got problems, but also, this thing need to be over there or people gonna die.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I needed the stability. I needed the stability too. That was the longest I ever lived anywhere. And with the same people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Five, five, yeaah. But there was a discrepancy where I ended up, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cuz there was, there was, my, my actual unit was in Yuma, Arizona, which is like America's asshole. It's the shittiest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was a, a tactical air operations module repair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It sounds really hard. It was, no. No? I mean, because you don't have to be smart. They send the smart, they send the genius with you everywhere you go. Oh, right. Yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. You know, so when he's like, uh, yeaah, you need to get up in there and remove this and remove that and put that in there and you just do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But nothing ever broke because we maintained the shit out of it. It was like every, nothing, there was never an issue that just wasn't, that couldn't be resolved like a part or two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, but, but, but they made a, they had a, they sent a temporary unit to Miramar. And then, and then I got there shortly after that. And then they made the unit permanent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in the system, it looked like we all moved from Yuma to San Diego, even though we'd all been there the whole time. So we didn't have to move again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So even though people usually move around a lot in the military, I was in the same place, with the same people for the whole time. That's good, but you needed that. Not for the whole time, because most of that time was in school, but yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, it was great. It was the best. I was the only black person for a long time. That's gotta be weird, right?
