0:34
Always got to have a secret sauce,
0:36
homie.
0:36
And I've been watching her for a long
0:38
time. I'm very fortunate that I've
0:40
actually worked in the same arenas as
0:42
her. Heather B.
0:43
In what kind of way? Cuz I'm not
0:45
familiar.
0:46
Well, we worked on some platforms. She
0:48
don't know yet, but I'm going to break
0:49
it down and then she'll go, "Oh yeah,
0:51
Sway. Oh yeah, I remember that." But
0:53
before I do,
0:56
you're stupid.
0:57
When you look at her accolades,
0:59
threetime NAACP Image Award winner.
1:02

1:15
work, Curb Your Enthusiasm,
1:18
Raising Whitley, At Your Age. Shout out

1:23

Evette, shout out to her as well.
1:28
Okay. I could go on and on. The
1:30
Boondocks.
1:33
That's where I was featured as well on
1:35
two seasons. That's where she and I got
1:37
a chance to work around each other. You
1:38
see what I did right there? The Parkers.
1:40
Come on.
1:41
You know, I was That's another one that
1:43
we worked on together. Um, but she also
1:46
comes from a very reputable family
1:49
bloodline. You know, when you look at
1:51
her parents and look at her father and
1:53
him being a partner of Whitley and
1:54
Whitley, which was a black architectural
1:56
firm, you know, she had good upbringing.
1:58
He be she's a college graduate and she's
2:01
a Delta. Give it up for the one and only
2:03
Kim Whitley is in the building.
2:05
Kub in the building.
2:08
What up, Kim?
2:10
That that was the best introduction in
2:15
the introduction history of
2:17
introductions.
2:19
It went down the whole and I cannot
2:22
believe you did not say my very first
2:25
movie next Friday.
2:27
Next I was
2:28
that was the one. Oh, cuz that's a
2:29
little story with that one.
2:31
I was going to save that one.
2:32
Boom. Save it. Save it.
2:35
That's the That's the cult classic right
2:37
there.
2:37
Lady in New York. Okay. That's Tracy G
2:39
over there. Tracy G. But I wanted to say
2:42
first and foremost, you look amazing.
2:44
Yep.
2:45
Oh, thank you.
2:46
And when I say that, it's not just the
2:48
aesthetic. You know, I like to talk to
2:50
folks a little bit before we get on the
2:51
mic. And it to me, it's just when folks
2:53
come on this show, it's it's not because
2:55
you're promoting something or I'm trying
2:57
to promote something. It's because I'm
2:59
invested. I'm a fan of your work. And I
3:02
like to meet people that I'm a fan of.
3:04
Kim came on the show um years ago
3:07
in New York.
3:08
In New York.
3:08
Yeah. I'm not sure if you was here that
3:11
might have been on vacation.
3:12
Too young.
3:12
Yeah. You know, you vacation,
3:14
you know.
3:15
Yeah. 21 and over vacation. Kim, I was
3:17
there.
3:17
You were there, right? Uh but
3:19
congratulations to you on your career.
3:22
You know, so far you only in the first
3:24
half u you you done really well. So, but
3:28
Friday was the first one.
3:29
Very first movie.
3:30
Very first movie. No, no, let me I've
3:32
been a lot of prostitutes. So, wait a
3:34
minute.
3:36
The very Yeah, I forgot I was a hooker
3:38
before that. My very very first movie
3:40
was Lawrence Hilton Jacobs. Remember
3:43
High? He directed this movie. I
3:45
just got to Los Angeles and it was
3:47
called Angels of the City
3:49
and I played a hooker
3:51
and I said I never could shake that. We
3:54
talk every time I see him, we crack up
3:56
and I don't even remember the role but I
3:58
just remember I was standing on the
3:59
street corner. you know, you get a
4:00
little role.
4:01
Yeah.
4:01
And uh just so then uh my real very
4:06
first blockbuster big movie for a studio
4:10
was next Friday.
4:11
Next Friday, man. How about that, man?
4:14
Salute to uh Ice Cube.
4:15
Yeah. What was the audition process like
4:18
for that, Kim?
4:18
I was just thinking about it. Kim
4:20
Harding, who's a great casting director.
4:23
Uh I knew her. It's so funny. You get
4:26
these things uh in your career when
4:27
you're a hustler. You don't need an
4:29
agent.
4:30
You get in when you know your people.
4:32
You get in and you say, "Hey, just give
4:33
me a shot." And I think people really
4:36
look at you and say,
4:38
they see it in your eyes when you really
4:40
want it. And they and and Kim brought me
4:43
in and this is what's so great. I went
4:46
into producers
4:48
uh because I I went for her first and
4:51
she was like, "Girl, you funny. Come on
4:52
back."
4:53
Ice Cube. Um, I don't know if it was
4:56
Brother Ron, another producer, Kim.
4:59
They're all in the room and I remember
5:01
being in the waiting room and I looked
5:03
at all the women. They were all thin,
5:05
beautiful women. And I was like, "This
5:07
this this ain't going to be for me.
5:09
I'm not going to get this."
5:10
But I remember I wore a coat over my
5:13
little black dress because I'm I'm more
5:15
of a character actress. I'm a tomboy,
5:17
okay?
5:17
I'm not that girl. So, I had a big old
5:19
coat over my little black dress trying
5:21
to be, you know, little sexy kid. And
5:22
these other girls, they walking around,
5:24
they doing their lines, looking good.
5:27
But I had some things up my sleeve. I
5:28
think I had a little small bottle of
5:30
liquor in my chest,
5:33
a rolled up
5:34
joint. I had some some equipment.
5:36
Was it a real job?
5:37
Oh, yeah. Up my sleeve for real.
5:39
Because I don't even I might have put a
5:41
40 in there. I don't know what I did.
5:43
But when it came time to audition, when
5:46
you want something, you go in there and
5:48
you give it your best.
5:49
That's right. And I tried to be as
5:50
ignorant as I could. And I just remember
5:53
Ice Cube hitting the floor with his
5:55
hands. He bent over
5:57
and he was laughing and she was
5:59
laughing. And you have a sense in the
6:01
room when you're like, I think I got it.
6:02
I think I I got something magical
6:05
happens.
6:07
And that's what the audition process is.
6:10
And they call you and they say, "You got
6:11
it." And you go on the set and you with
6:14
you and Mike Eps are like new
6:16
and you're both looking at each other. I
6:18
was like, "You nervous?" He's like, "I'm
6:19
a little nervous. You're a little
6:20
nervous." We were both, you know,
6:22
um, and that's when we first met.
6:24
That Mike eps and look where how far
6:26
he's come, right? Yeah.
6:28
You know, this conversation remind me of
6:30
one we were having earlier about
6:31
stepping out of your comfort zone, you
6:33
know, and I think kind of nerves
6:35
happened that way, you know. But when
6:37
you was playing a hooker, I went back to
6:39
that
6:41
focus way. When you were playing a
6:43
hooker, was that in your comfort zone?
6:46
No. That's why I said I had the big coat
6:48
on. Especially there's a scene in the
6:50
movie if you all ever watch and I still
6:52
got to talk to Ice Cube about this.
6:54
There's a scene on the television
6:58
that I'm when we're in the room, me and
7:00
DC Curry are in the room and you walk in
7:03
the room, I have on all that black and
7:05
I'm up against this cross that got me
7:07
strapped up
7:08
on on the TV. It's another video. If you
7:11
really watch, it's me in red
7:13
and I'm dancing and I got all kind of
7:17
toys and craziness. None of this is my
7:19
comfort zone.
7:20
And I remember they were shooting
7:21
somewhere else. You know, you have a
7:22
first unit, second unit.
7:24
And I was on the set and they had to I
7:27
had to shoot that by myself and dance
7:29
and and you have someone directing you
7:31
and telling you, "No, do this. Put it in
7:33
your mouth. Bend over." I was like,
7:35
"Hey, hey, hey." But you don't know.
7:38
You're doing this for the thing. And
7:41
when I saw the movie, it's literally two
7:43
seconds. I gotta talk to Cube and ask
7:45
him, "Where's the footage?"
7:46
Right. Right.
7:47
I need to know where is the hour and a
7:51
half.
7:52
They had you bending over, killing,
7:53
bending over, dancing. I got a baby. Oh,
7:57
I got It was a mess. And I think about
8:00
that. I did all that for two seconds.
8:02
For two seconds. But look how it paid
8:05
off.
8:05
Come on.
8:06
It was worth it.
8:07
It wasn't.
8:08
No one really saw that part. Oh, okay.
8:10
Like, if they would have played that a
8:12
little longer on and and it was on a TV
8:14
screen, like had that been part of the
8:16
movie,
8:17
I'd probably be a huge star by now.
8:21
Okay.
8:22
Yo, you know, you go from working with
8:24
someone like Ice Cube, who's on one one
8:26
side of the spectrum, to working with
8:28
somebody like Adam Sandler, right? But
8:30
but I'm sure there's some commonality
8:33
between the two, is there? You know,
8:35
you know, relationships. Okay. And um
8:39
commonality when you say comedy Ice
8:43
Cubes like he likes comics. You can see
8:45
he's done a lot of movies.
8:47
All his movies really are with
8:48
comedians. He he's a he likes comedy.
8:51
Adam Sandler is a comic. He likes
8:53
comics.
8:54
He hires all comics. All his friends are
8:56
in the movie. He brings you back. You
8:59
know,
8:59
Ice Cube is hopefully writing The Last
9:01
Friday right now that I will be a part
9:03
of. So, you hope to do good work with
9:08
good people
9:09
and keep your career from the beginning.
9:12
You burn no bridges because you never
9:14
know when you have to walk over that
9:15
bridge again.
9:16
Um, so I'm I'm hoping like with with
9:19
with Adam, it's been fun. It's my second
9:21
movie with Adam.
9:22
I was in Hubie Halloween. Me and Lavell
9:25
played a couple. That was fun.
9:27
And there were other opportunities. I
9:29
just couldn't take them. So, Adam will
9:31
pick up the phone and call me. And
9:33
is that how he did it? He picked up the
9:35
phone and called you.
9:35
Well, his people did that, but Adam
9:37
knows he better call me if he really
9:39
needs me. Um, great man, great family,
9:43
funny,
9:44
you know, and Adam's not the one on the
9:45
set that's going to say, "Hey, Kim, you
9:47
that wasn't funny or you should do it
9:49
this way." When I tell you, Adam will
9:50
slide up to you and say, "Say this." And
9:54
then you say it because he wants your
9:57
greatness to shine. He doesn't need
9:59
that. He doesn't need the accolades
10:01
like, "Oh, look what I gave him. That
10:03
was funny. I did it." He gives it to
10:04
you. It sounds great. People crack up
10:07
and everyone's like, "Oh my god, you're
10:09
so funny."
10:10
And that was with the help of of Adam
10:13
Sandler. He'll he'll do that. And I love
10:14
that. Real quiet about it.
10:17
What did where did he discover you? Like
10:18
what what made him want want to work
10:20
with you?
10:21
He saw uh Next Friday and Curve Your
10:23
Enthusiasm and he saw these uh Okay.
10:25
Sorry. One, two. No. No.
10:28
No. I I'd say, you know, it's hard. I
10:31
could say I I have good I have good
10:33
agents and managers and I believe the
10:36
first time it went out, they might have
10:38
submitted me
10:39
because I But this is the crazy part.
10:42
They are all when I went into uh Happy
10:44
Madison, when I tell you I love all
10:46
those guys,
10:47
they are huge fans of Kirby Enthusiasm.
10:50
Yeah.
10:50
Monina, the best prostitute in the world
10:53
to date.
10:54
So that's what happens. Mhm.
10:57
They're like, "Get that get that hooker.
10:59
Get that prostitute. Get that Monina
11:01
from Curb."
11:02
So, I I believe they're fans of that.
11:05
And that that's what happens.
11:06
You know, uh Larry David, um Adam
11:10
Sandler, you know, a lot of these
11:11
greats, they they they allow you to
11:14
improv in the script and and Heather B
11:16
just was on the improv stage last night.
11:20
Not a comedian though. I was there
11:22
hanging out last night, Kim, at the
11:23
Hollywood improv at the improv on Mel
11:26
Rose with Darnell Rawlings and and and a
11:28
lot of comedians and it was interesting
11:30
and I was Sway and I were talking
11:31
afterwards the respect that we have for
11:34
for y'all. It is not easy, you know, and
11:37
the adjustments because I can't even
11:39
imagine like Larry David and then this
11:42
period just you just say his name and
11:44
you understand the history from SNL to
11:46
Seinfeld and on and on and on. Do do you
11:49
ever walk into spaces and have not
11:52
necessarily fear but some kind of like
11:54
intimidation trying to figure out your
11:57
spot, you know, in it all, especially
11:58
with working with a lot of comedians at
12:00
one time.
12:01
Yeah. I walked in here with intimidation
12:04
and fear. I looked at Swain kind of
12:07
cute. I didn't want to have no sexual
12:09
tension with you.
12:09
You know what, Kim? I'm sorry. Huh?
12:12
What? Huh? Too much. We love it. We love
12:14
it. You got the light skin, dude. The
12:16
light coming off his head right there.
12:18
The light was all good.
12:21
The light shining. She was double
12:23
lighting.
12:24
Light it up, Kim.
12:25
Light it up.
12:26
So,
12:27
shine the light on them. What happens is
12:30
in life, I think there's always fear.
12:32
And fear is a good there's a good fear.
12:35
Um, you know, because it keeps you on
12:38
top of your game.
12:39
When you're not, if you don't have a
12:41
little bit of fear, you're too relaxed
12:43
and you might not be 100%.
12:46
You got to have that little bit of
12:48
that's God just edging you a little bit
12:51
like be your best. You got this. When
12:54
you're comfortable and that's almost I
12:56
always feel like it's a lack of respect
12:59
for the audience
13:01
when you're too comfortable.
13:03
It's my job to make them laugh. It's my
13:06
job to be great. So you got to have a
13:09
little bit of nervousness just to say,
13:12
"Okay, I'm awake. I'm ready. Let's do
13:14
this. Because the times that I have gone
13:16
on stage and I've been comfortable, I
13:18
didn't care and it wasn't that great. I
13:20
didn't have fun and maybe the audience
13:21
didn't have fun either.
13:23
So,
13:24
got to have that fear. Man, Kim Whitley
13:26
is here. We got her here. Tracy G. We
13:28
got her in LA.
13:30
Tracy, let me come in New York.
13:32
I love me some Kim Whitley. Bro,
13:35
you are so easy to root for, man. And
13:37
I'm happy that we've been able to do so
13:39
for so long and we'll be able to
13:41
continue to do so. Um Kim I want to know
13:44
because when you are viewed as a
13:46
comedian comedian extraordinaire that
13:48
you are and oftentimes people think okay
13:51
you are funny but maybe perhaps forget
13:54
that there's other layers that come to
13:56
you. What's something people might be
13:58
surprised that you take very very
14:01
seriously? Maybe it's a passion, maybe
14:03
it's something that um you're an
14:05
advocate of. Maybe it's a belief. But
14:07
what's something that you do not joke
14:09
about?
14:12
That I'm going to date me an Asian man.
14:14
Okay. No,
14:15
don't.
14:15
You know what?
14:16
What? So what?
14:20
What?
14:21
I'm going to get an Asian man.
14:22
You been looking for that?
14:23
I I was just I've been watching the
14:25
Korean soap opers and I feel like Okay.
14:28
All right. Here we go.
14:29
Have you Have you ever dated Asian?
14:30
No, I have not. That's why I was feeling
14:32
like, you know, I was just going down my
14:33
bucket list and I felt like, you know,
14:36
that might be the new thing, the bucket
14:38
list.
14:38
You never know.
14:38
You never know.
14:40
No. Uh I be honest with you. Uh Jesus
14:43
Christ, my Lord and Savior. Savior.
14:46
People do not probably don't understand
14:48
how my faith rules my life. Um because I
14:52
don't I mean, I do wear a little cross,
14:54
but I don't, you know, I'm not a person,
14:56
you know, preaching the gospel. And I I
14:59
had never even got through the whole
15:00
Bible, you know,
15:01
right?
15:02
Every time I pick it up, I fall asleep.
15:03
So, I don't know what the Lord is trying
15:05
to tell me on that. I say, "Read your
15:07
Bible." I'll be
15:10
uh But I I a lot of people, you know, I
15:13
would say that my faith uh that I take
15:16
really uh serious. And um
15:19
well, I guess people do. My friends the
15:22
and my love for people to a fault. I
15:26
absolutely love human beings. I love
15:29
animals, too. But I love different I
15:32
love strangers. I know that sound crazy
15:34
because I'm focused on uh light-skinned
15:37
over here. I don't know who he is.
15:38
PB visuals by PB.
15:40
So, see this is the thing.
15:42
I don't know him. So, what happens is I
15:44
walk in a room
15:45
and I know everyone has a story,
15:47
but I don't have time to get it all. You
15:49
know, I was just on the elevator with
15:50
two young ladies and one I found out we
15:52
worked at Daily Pop together and the
15:54
other lady was helping me with my stain
15:56
in my pants.
15:57
But I I interacted with them
15:59
and that is to a fault. Probably why I
16:02
ain't got a man or anything else people
16:03
say. I got too many. Yeah, you better
16:05
say that sway.
16:09
That ain't the song of my life.
16:11
Kim, what's your background song? I'm
16:14
single.
16:15
What?
16:16
What? What is it? Hard to date. I mean,
16:18
does it does your your success get in
16:21
the way of you dating?
16:22
Yes, it does. All right.
16:24
Uh for a couple reasons. I'm a
16:25
workaholic and that's because I love to
16:27
work. But
16:29
um it also just life work balance,
16:32
friendship. You got your friends. I got
16:34
my son. I got my family.
16:35
Shout out to Joshua.
16:36
Yeah. Thank you. And then with a man,
16:39
you got to have the right kind of man
16:40
that just kind of
16:42
comes in with you. He's not trying to be
16:45
the superstar. He's not, but he he he's
16:48
your friend really and they that he it
16:51
fits. So, it's hard trying to find a
16:53
person that,
16:55
you know, just kind of fits
16:57
the mo because I'm I'm older now. My
16:59
career is already set.
17:01
I'm not the little young girl that's
17:03
going to be home at 5:00 cooking dinner.
17:05
That ain't going to happen.
17:06
That ain't going to happen.
17:07
No, but we going to ride this ride.
17:09
Like, if I what I do and what I get, you
17:11
get it, too.
17:12
Okay.
17:12
So, you'll treat the dinner, but you
17:14
won't cook the dinner.
17:15
Oh, baby. I will treat the dinner and
17:18
anything else you need. But I'm not. No,
17:20
I'll cook if that's what you like. On
17:24
Wednesdays,
17:27
manage expectations, baby.
17:29
You got to man Wednesdays once a month.
17:33
Mhm.
17:33
I'mma cook you some breakfast. I'm a
17:35
breakfast cooker. I can cook some
17:36
breakfast real easy. That's why my son
17:38
is struggling right now. I was driving
17:39
over here thinking about it. I was like,
17:41
"He 14 and I still have not learned how
17:44
to fix this boy some food. How's he
17:46
going to grow up?" Like, he's 14 now.
17:48
Last night I was like, "Eat this dinner.
17:50
I got you some noodles with some beef on
17:52
it." He's like, he said, "I don't want
17:54
that." That's what he said. I turned
17:56
around, he was cooking some eggs. I was
17:58
like, "Okay, at least he knows how to
17:59
take care of himself, right?
18:01
But how do you I should He should know
18:03
how to cook some chicken
18:04
and some But then I was like, maybe he's
18:06
going to be a vegan. I don't know.
18:10
You off the chain, Kim.
18:12
Maybe he going to be a vegan.
18:13
He's going to be a vegan.
18:14
I know. The doctor looked at me. The
18:16
doctor was like, "Is he eating?" I was
18:18
like, "Ma'am, I don't know."
18:19
Yo, that's crazy. Kim Whley is here,
18:22
man. We're talking about the successful
18:24
debut on Netflix, uh, the movie Happy
18:27
Gilmore 2. I'm happy for you.
18:29
Yeah. uh that this your your career you
18:32
you you've carved your own lane and you
18:34
you work with heavyweights on every
18:35
level and you continue to do so, but
18:37
also you you've been able to make some
18:39
what seem like great friendships, which
18:41
isn't always easy in this business,
18:44
right? And one one of the people I want
18:47
to speak to who just came on the show is
18:48
Tesha Campbell.
18:49
Love Tisha. I thought you going to say
18:51
that damn Sherry Shepard. Thank you. I
18:54
just talked this morning. She was
18:55
supposed to call me back. It's been two
18:56
hours.
18:56
Sher ain't called you back.
18:57
She ain't call me back. She was like,
18:58
I'm getting out the Uber. I'mma call you
19:00
back. She didn't call me back. Tisha
19:01
Campbell would have called me back.
19:04
Heard that.
19:06
Tisha's beautiful, man.
19:07
Is beautiful. Um, but how do you form
19:09
relationships in this business that you
19:11
know you can trust.
19:12
Well, that's the whole thing. You have
19:14
to be who you want in your life.
19:17
You have to be trustworthy.
19:19
You have to be a good friend. Now, I'm
19:20
not a great friend. This is thing
19:21
different. Being a great friend is
19:24
another thing that takes up a lot of
19:26
time. I have great friends. Yeah. I'm
19:28
not always a great friend. And I say
19:30
this that I'm not always calling. I'm
19:32
not always let's go out, let's do this
19:34
and that because I don't have the time.
19:36
But when you need me
19:38
and you pick up that phone, I'm going to
19:40
be there.
19:41
Uh I will make sure you know whatever's
19:44
going in your life. I try people there's
19:46
a lot of people passing away. I try to
19:48
make phone calls and send flowers and
19:51
always say thank you. Um, you know, so
19:55
you try to be a a a good friend, but
19:57
sometimes you can't. So, I think I just
20:00
try to be honest and um that's it, being
20:04
faithful to friends.
20:06
And I think the biggest deal is you got
20:09
to be there when they need you. When
20:11
there's heartbreak, when there's death,
20:13
or if they're going into the hospital,
20:15
there's sickness.
20:16
Yeah.
20:16
You got to show up.
20:17
You got to show up.
20:18
You got to show up. Have you been able
20:20
to forgive more easily as you've gotten
20:23
older?
20:24
First of all, you ain't going to just
20:25
jump in my ear. You ain't no way around
20:27
this table.
20:29
She looking at me. She looking at all of
20:31
us.
20:31
Y'all playing vanilla course games over
20:33
here. That's
20:34
my mouth wasn't even moving. I thought
20:36
she was just staring at my mouth.
20:37
Just little magic.
20:38
No way. Sway, get out. It's
20:40
so funny. Have I been able to forgive as
20:42
I've gotten older? Yes. Yes. you're
20:45
because you get mature
20:47
and you realize there's so many things
20:49
in life that are more important because
20:51
I have my niece uh staying with me she's
20:54
25 years old and I try to explain to her
20:56
she'll cry and she's like oh and you
20:58
know and my career and I was like you
21:01
just got off a Disney show are you
21:02
kidding me perspective when you get
21:06
older you've gone through so many things
21:08
in life smaller things don't mean
21:10
anything
21:11
and people and and what I realized maybe
21:14
I don't know in my 30s this is the
21:17
biggest lesson
21:20
this going to be horrible to say
21:21
okay
21:22
but every human being will disappoint
21:26
you I'm trying to tell you if you go
21:29
with that inc expectations in life you
21:33
take the heavy weight off of humans
21:36
I rely on God
21:39
and not even my dogs because they don't
21:40
run away and don't listen you know
21:44
What I have been you put so much trust
21:48
in a person I guarantee you
21:52
they are going to disappoint you some
21:55
way but take that off of they're human
21:59
it makes it easier to breathe and go
22:02
like okay got it because you will be
22:05
like that's my best friend they will
22:07
never and they will
22:10
and for whatever reason they make a
22:12
mistake ake you can either say I forgive
22:14
you and you know I let you back in or
22:17
whatever or you walk away but if you go
22:20
through saying you know what my brother
22:22
my mother you know my parents really I
22:24
will say they've never truly
22:26
disappointed but we think about small
22:28
things like I told my daddy I wanted a
22:30
class a class ring when I graduated he
22:32
told me I couldn't have it I still talk
22:33
to him he 91 years old I was like
22:35
remember that class ring I wanted I
22:37
didn't let it go but that's what I'm
22:38
saying we always put stuff on people But
22:42
if you can take that lesson and just say
22:45
they're human, they are going to it's
22:48
not bad. They're going to disappoint you
22:49
and it's not a bad thing, but they're
22:50
going to make a mistake. And I just
22:52
said, you know what? Only person I'm
22:53
going to trust is God. And that is it.
22:56
That's it. I then I can forgive and I
23:00
can move on because I've had some people
23:01
stab me in the back
23:04
bad and money, lost money and all kind
23:06
of stuff. Give example, please.
23:08
Give examples. What's what's a bad
23:10
stabbing in the back for you? You ain't
23:12
got to say names, but what do they do?
23:14
Wow. Okay, you can have a bad stabbing.
23:19
A couple of them, but uh let's say let's
23:22
say for example,
23:24
uh you have someone who you trust with
23:29
everything. Mhm.
23:30
You've given them your passcode, your
23:31
this and that and blah blah blah blah.
23:34
And then the next thing you know,
23:36
they just walk away. They walk away and
23:40
say, "You know what? I don't want to
23:41
deal deal with this anymore." And you're
23:43
like, "Okay, that's fine. That's what
23:44
you want to do."
23:45
And then you call and say, "But you
23:47
know, I need the
23:48
passcode to this and I I need those
23:50
pictures and I need the such and such."
23:52
And they say, "Talk to my attorney."
23:55
Oh,
23:56
wait. What?
23:56
Oh,
23:57
wait. You you you was my ride or die.
24:00
Are you
24:01
you looking like this this this devil?
24:04
This can't be.
24:06
But since I had been stabbed or hurt
24:08
years before that,
24:10
that one made me go like
24:13
they're human.
24:14
Yeah,
24:14
there's something wrong. Because
24:16
you you you see it
24:18
when people are walking past you talking
24:21
about uh you remember that movie Selena?
24:23
I was like, wait, what? They were like,
24:24
uh that's that lady. You know, people
24:26
are trying to tell you.
24:27
I see what you mean. Okay.
24:28
But we don't listen. You got to listen
24:30
to the people around you that just drop
24:32
nuggets.
24:33
Some people are haters, but some people
24:35
you got to be like,
24:36
and the thing is, you just have to have
24:39
safeguards.
24:40
And I'm such a believer that God got me.
24:43
I wasn't really I'm fine. Yeah.
24:45
And anything that you can really take
24:47
from me except for my child or life or
24:49
something like that. But any kind of of
24:52
of
24:53
property or money, I always feel like
24:56
I'm gonna get that back. And I do. I am
24:58
so blessed and always get blessed.
25:00
That that has never been like a thing. I
25:03
was like, you know what? If you say, you
25:06
know, people I've had people take money,
25:08
say they took $10,000 out my account.
25:11
Had another friend take like 17. This my
25:13
best. She went to the bank. Then the
25:14
bank was stupid. Said she was my sisterh
25:17
and she was taking out $1,000.
25:20
once a month, whatever. She got $17,000
25:22
out of my account.
25:23
Wow.
25:24
You know what I did? What?
25:25
This how God works.
25:27
I called my accountant. I was like, "Oh
25:30
my god." You know,
25:33
I can't believe she did that to me. And
25:36
my accountant was like, "How much was
25:37
it?" She was like, "Oh, you need that as
25:39
a write- off anyway. Look how
25:41
I got
25:42
I said, "What?"
25:44
She said, "Oh, that just saved you."
25:46
Wow.
25:47
Because it was a loss. I wrote it off
25:50
and it saved me.
25:51
Now what happened is she did that and
25:53
she lost a friend for life.
25:55
Yeah.
25:55
Never could speak to her again. Didn't
25:56
do anything. But you see how that works?
25:59
I see how that works.
26:00
You see how I just was like, "Oh,
26:02
you let it go and let God."
26:04
But say it sway.
26:05
You let it go and let God.
26:07
Come on.
26:08
And
26:08
you want me to cook something for you on
26:10
Wednesday?
26:10
On Wednesday. So I'll be here.
