You know, when we meet a Sherry Shepherd, I'm worn
out within one minute because we just come in here
and do this four hours ago, crap and go home.
It seems like just reading don your credits, you just
never stopped.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Oh, I'm so thankful, are you?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
I mean, you are thankful, and you should be, but
you know, thankful but also very talented, which has a
lot to do with it. But are you the type
of person Sherry who if you're not always about to
do something or doing something, you feel like you're being
chased or some monster or something.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
I feel like if I'm not working, I get really
I get really depressed.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I like you.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
In one of our dressing rooms is an old and
Homasha Joan Rivers and we got and she used to
say if there was ever an empty date on her calendar,
she was a failure. Now don't feel like a failure.
But if there are empty dates on my calendar, I
do get. I get a depression, and I get like
a panicky thing, like, oh, is it gonna stop? So
(02:47):
I'd like to work. You know, do you vacation?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I'm just saying vacation when you must be just a bitch.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I went on a vacation.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
I haven't had a vacation in three or four years.
And I finally went to a jazz festival. But in
order I kissed babies, I took pictures. I was trying
to get George Benson on the show.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
I worked and it was great.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
I never sat and actually enjoyed this show, so I
know I haven't. I always canceled my girlfriends because I
booked something. Oh Man so I haven't gone.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I need to go to belize or something.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Well, no, don't do that. You know what they'll be.
There's time to sleep when you're dead. As they say that.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Yeah, my father used to say that all the time.
He's in a nursing home.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
All right, you can find.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Funny anyway on stage.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I gotta tell you doing what Sherry does? You watch?
You watch? I mean, no Sherry every day, but you know,
to be able to go to see Sherry's show if
you're in New York, to get this ticket. It's a
lot of fun because there is a show that's off
that's not on the network. There's a show that's on
the network. I mean, be the energy, the building of
the show. It's something that's so much it's so much
(04:03):
fun to do when you're in the back getting all
dressed up and get it made up. Do you feel
the energy coming from the energy from the audience, Oh,
my gosh.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
Yes, because normally when you do a show, you have
a warm up comic who does jokes in the audience
goes and then it's up and then they keep joking.
We have a full DJ. We got DJ sus One
and we have Marco glorious.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Who is?
Speaker 6 (04:24):
He hypes up the crowd. So it's a party. People
are dancing people. It's like you're at a club.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
How do I get tickets?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Like, yeah, you just.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
Show up and say you know who I am.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
If my aunt friend decided to fly to New York
and get tacked, I mean, do you go through the
how do you get Let me tell you how.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
When people tell me their aunts are coming or their
grandmother's I give them the whole, Like your aunt friend
will get to come in the dressing room with me.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Well, she's dead, and she's dead. She's dead, she's dead,
I remember, we can pray.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
That would be downer for the show. Having a body
in the corner.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Wears a waldough money to buy clothes, like an allowance
to buy clothes.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
I don't get an allowance.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Will.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I don't know where Willy my stylists.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
He came with me, but you know, we we borrow
clothes and then he's waving and then we give them
back and then so sometimes I'll try to like pour
gravy on there so I.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Get to keep it like this, I want to keep it, yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
But I gotta pay for it. So but if I
pour gravy on it.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
Then he gets all upset and I go, oh, can
I buy it at a discount?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Let me tell you what you're wearing today. I can't
wait to borrow it is the power color. You know,
there's just so many reasons to celebrate, and I've always
saying we need reasons to celebrate at all time. Absolutely,
but look at everything you're accomplishing, Sherry. And I know,
I know it's a lot of work because I have
friends that have the same work ethic as you, and
they wear me out. But I mean at the end
(05:51):
of the day, when you go to your brown stone, yes,
and you walk into your bathroom and you close that door,
it's just you in that mirror.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Youlyptus branch, and you can look yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Yeah, when you look in the mirror, do you ever
have a conversation with you about what how satisfied you
were with the day? Or do you actually have that
gratitude thing going that we all here? It's very important?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Are you kidding me all the time?
Speaker 6 (06:13):
Especially at my age, like my birthday, I just turned
fifty six, and I am I go, this used to
be a time where it's like at this age, people
would kind of throw you away and say you're not
viable anymore, or you know, we can't work with you.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
We want younger.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
And so I really appreciate when I say I'm thankful,
I really mean that because this talk show dream has
been eighteen plus years of being told no, you can't
do it, you're too old. We don't want a single
talk show host. We want celebrities that are bigger than you,
who can do a talk show. It was always no.
So to finally be in a position of no, it's
(06:50):
not my age and being able to prove to people
what I was always pitching. I know what I'm doing.
I know I'm a stand up comic. I know how
to if there's silence, I know how to make it funny.
And finally somebody believed in me. Thank you Deb Marmurcury
and gave me a chance. And so that's this is
why the Immy nomination means so much to me, is
(07:12):
because I just I didn't give up on the dream.
So that signifies to me what I am doing is
what I knew it's right.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
So what are we learning here today? That I love Shepherd,
that we love Sherry Shepherd. You know what you have
that drive. You have that thing going on that's kind
of churning away. Never never give up your dream.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
Ever, well except if you auditioned it for American Idol,
and you know you can't say, well, you got to
give up on their dream, not stop it.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
But you know what all these years, it took eighteen
years to get this show, but look at everything you did.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
In the meantime. It was like the preparation.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Like people say to me, oh my gosh, you're a
teleprompter queen, because I can do it in one take.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
I can do a telepromter.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
I bless you, and I put my jokes on the teleprompter,
so it never it looks like I'm just doing it,
but I have my jokes on the teleprompter.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
But Barbara Walters, I learned that from.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Her because she was like, I'm not if I can
do it in one take, you can do it in
one take, We're not gonna wait for you.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
And I had to learn that.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
So being on the view, I learned to Doing Dish Nation,
I was in the studio by myself because the other
team was in Atlanta, so I had to learn to
look in a camera and that was my audience so
all of the stuff prepared me for where I am now.
And I used to work for Tom Joyner on the
radio for four years on a microphone.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
We had to get up.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
I was telling Nate at three we had to be
there three in the morning because three it's six o'clock
in New York. So we were the drive time for LA.
It was three to six in the morning. I was
sleep during half the songs. I was so tired.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
But I love being on radio.
Speaker 6 (08:49):
I love talking on the I have a podcast with
Kim Whitley that I started when they kept saying no
to my talk show. I said, I'm gonna start my
own podcast because I'm tired of trying to ask for permission.
And we won two na A c P Image Awards
for our two Funny Mama's Podcast.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
So I you know.
Speaker 6 (09:05):
This, this just means so much to me, all of
the stuff that is happening. I don't take it for granted.
And I'm very, very thankful. So it's not just me saying, oh,
I'm so thankful. You know, here's my beads. I rubbed
my beads. I'm thankful, you know what.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
By the way, Sherry Shepherd is here I'm sorry, I
mean nominated sherry. Shepherd brings us sherry every weekday, and uh,
how could this energy.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
Not I'm making that a necklace. Let me win this
emmy hanging right between my boobs. You don't even understand.
This emmy's going with me everywhere. It's gonna be on
my bumble profile. That's a big big women men looking
for farmers wives whatever whatever I mean.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
That's a heavy, heavy piece of jewelry to wear. Like
I got speaking things, Danielle has already done what you
were going to do this summer. Go ahead, talk about
your jacket. Let me see what did I do? All
breast reduction?
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Oh they look good. A little it looks so good.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
A little left, a little breast reduction.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
And to tell you, it makes the biggest difference going
home now and putting a T shirt on and not
having to wear a bra.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
That's what I'm walking around the house. That's right.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
I don't have a broad out garrette.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
People don't understand when you gotta even going and you
gotta put that brown it's a lot of I sound
like John Wick.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
You're putting it on and then when you take it off.
Speaker 6 (10:32):
Girl, that's my dream just to be able to do
it and not have to do a broad But you
got a little lift.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
I'm getting a lot of little.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Oh yeah, well no, I got a lot of left.
But it was the best thing. I was one of
the best things I've ever done for myself.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
I gotta do this, I just said, And you know,
let me test.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
I got big hairy ones. I gotta get rid of
these things.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
I don't know. They gotta get the hair off first.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Maybe that's the problem.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
But I dream about this because I'm telling and I
love my boobs.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
They're huge. I love them.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
They have served me well, like in my twenties. Like
that's what I'm saying when I talked about this Freaknik
video coming out. I was in my share of lifting
my when I was in my twenties. I'll be in
the car my girlfriends and the truck was behind us,
and I was like whoa, and I would.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Lift up my shirt and they would pull the thing
on the truck.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
I did that. I went through that whole thing. I
wore cleavage down in my stomach. And I mean, they
have served me well. My best friends have been good
to me. Now they're tired. It is time to let
them go and just sit there and you know, you know,
do you shut corner whatever they do with pasture, have
the pastor now it's like, yeah, I love them, but
(11:34):
it's time to let the girls wait.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
So you go and like can buy a little tank
top and not have to worry about Oh yes, had
a bathing suit and suit.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Danielle used to cry, shed try on bathing suits and
she would come in here the next day just oh
my god.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
I hated the way it looked there huge.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
And when I came to New York City for the
first time, like for work, I got off of a
bus and somebody looked at me and went look at
them watermelons, and I was and I got so upset
and so depressed and said.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
One day, I'm going to get it done. And I
waited till my kids were old enough or I didn't
have to pick them up.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
And now, oh see, now I get I used to
get heck when I was on stage and they was stated,
see I did black crowds.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
I looked, they haven't you gonta do a black crowd?
They let you know you got some big Sorry, you're.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
All good, said, can't tell you a funny story? Because
you know radio this is this is the dump button, okay,
but we we didn't push it. So Cedric the entertainer
was here two weeks ago and he would he said
the effort and I said, Cedric, we can't say the effort.
I'd hit the dumb button. Then he said the S word,
the craft word, and she said, I'll push it myself.
He considered dumping himself anyway, Sherry Shepherd is here. Were
(12:49):
so excited to have the energy in the room. Yes, Kandhi,
you are to me.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Or a nicon because you were one of my favorite
TV shows of all time, thirty Rock thirty Rocks, and
one of the best characters too. And I know Ali
agrees with me about this, but you are just doing
so much. And I know you have a show coming
up as well at City Winery. However, going through your
bio of all of the things, I found something interesting
what you were talking to somebody about how being in
jail made you financially responsible to jail.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yeah, do you have to go there to be.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
And I was like, oh, what.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Did Sherry Shepherd go to jail for? And when I
saw what it was, I can't even lie.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
I was like, oh, my god, traffic warrants.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Traffic, Yes, that is not sexy enough.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
Well, I wasn't thinking sexy. It was moving violations. And
when you get you get a moving violation.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
My insurance. I hadn't paid my insurance for two years.
Speaker 6 (13:38):
And the reason why because I was in a religion
that I thought Armageddon was gonna come bother, So why
Bob would paid my bill?
Speaker 3 (13:45):
So I never paid.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
So when I would get a traffic ticket because insurance
was expired, I threw it in my glove compartment. But
when you get that, when you don't show up to court,
it's a bench warr Oh yeah. So I had ten
thousand dollars worth of binge warrants. And I was on
my way to the comedy store to perform, and the
cops pulled.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Me over and they were like, you got to go
to jail.
Speaker 6 (14:03):
So I went to jail and it was on Martin
Luther King's the holiday, Thank you Martin Luther King.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
So I had to stay.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
I had to say an extra long because I went
in on a Friday and it was Saturday Sunday.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
It was Martin Luther King Day on Monday, so we
were all off.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Now, now we all for I gotta stay in jail the
nextra day I was. I had traffic warrans four and
four different courts, so one one I had to go
to Compton. So every day you go back and forth
to jail. Then I had to go to LA. Then

go there was another one in LA. So every day
you went to a different court. So I was in Yeah,
I was in jail for the for the age to
(14:36):
ten days and uh yeah, And I never am late
on my bills.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Now I pay everything.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
He notice this because I used to be like, when
they call, you know, Cherry, you gotta pay it.
Speaker 6 (14:45):

telling I never paid anything. I pay everything one time.
I'm so financed because I don't want to go back.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I wouldn't want to go back again.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Els had the lights turned off on him.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Remember you DJ credit for many years. If you're in
radio and you're moving around the country as we used
to do back in the day, you would just I
don't have to pay that. I'm moving on to Atlanta now,
and you know you move on. But no, they would
show up and turn things off, and they sure do.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
I came out. I got a victied.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
So many times my stuff would be like out there
on the lawnch I learned how to. I had an
apartment every name. But that's the way I used to
live when I was young and a struggling comic.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
And so no more.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
You're not missing those days.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
I don't miss though, when you get this age, you can't.
I can't go to jail at this age. The first
day they steal my wig, I'd be like, hello, that's

two funny mamas. It's good to have a partner, right,
Oh my gosh, I love it. She gets on my

Speaker 2 (17:21):
Well, I've got a pair of tickets. Is this true?
Speaker 7 (17:23):

Speaker 2 (17:30):
Y'all come anyway, let's let's back room that Okay, call her,
just call around one eight hundred two four two zero
one hundred. What is Diamond? Have you met Diamond? What
are you doing in that?
Speaker 7 (17:42):
I'm just smiling because I love Sherry and I've been
telling everybody this all day. My mom is obsessed with you.
She has been to your show twice already. We're trying
to get her to go for her birthday before you
guys are on vacation. But like I mean, she's obsessed.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Oh, tell her to come. I give it VIP. I
like moms. They always get the VIP treatment.
Speaker 7 (18:02):
She might fat on you, but.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
I don't know. We just had vacation last week and
Diamond and her best friend went to London London Parish.
It was the most Instagram I've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
How were the men out there? Did you do eat love?
Speaker 7 (18:20):
No? I didn't, But let me tell you something the
men out there ten out of ten. I mean skin really,
since I mean the eye contact, the beards shaved.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
To those European guys. They wear their pants differently, they do.
There's something weird. There's something different about their pants over there.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
Brigitte Nelson, we get our nails zone. And I lived
in La at the same place. And she told me,
she said, Cherry, you gotta go over to Europe to
get your man. She got a waiter because you know,
when you get a waiter over in Italy, it's not
the same as getting a waiter over here in Hacky Sack,
it's completely different.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
But you go to Italy and get a waiter, it's
like we can be together a lifetime.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
It's just it.
Speaker 6 (19:01):
And she said, you got to go over to Europe
and get a man because and she's like girl, and
they love black women.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
That's what I want to ask me down. I loved it.
Are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
I love it? And by the way, here come the
text from waiters and hacking side sharing. All right, yeah,
call a name, a number, number of caller or whatever,
it's your choice. Twelve call her twelve. With a million
people calling car twelve, you get to see Sherry Shepherd.
(19:35):
That is so cool. So in your life where you
seem to be as busy as busy can be, Yeah,
are you always thinking about what's next? I mean, this
show is still like, it's still a baby, it's still yes,
and it's diapers, you know, and it has so many
stories and journeys ahead of itself. What do you think
in ahead?
Speaker 7 (19:53):
I want to do.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
I want to do a women's like retreat like Inexperience
with Sherry, because I have so many like amazing girlfriends
and and I just would like women to be able
to get together and relax and just go and feel
seen and just have a good time like you know,
have comedy and have singing and have you know, therapy
and we just get to unwind and we just get
to you know, cry.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
And I want I want that. I want to direct.
I'm always thinking of what's next.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
How do you findancide about that? What does it look
like like? Where is it?
Speaker 7 (20:20):
This?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
This this retreat?
Speaker 6 (20:22):
We I haven't thought that far. It's just these ideas
in my mind. And so that's what I want to do.
So I got to start thinking about it like and
solidifying it and just uh, I just want an experience
in this. My mindset is always and I guess I
got this from my parents. You never know when this
one's gonna end. So you always got to have something something.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Like guys from one guy to another. Uness I could.
Those days are done, by the way, speaking of the retreat,
this is interesting, but Gandhi and Danielle our friend Bobby
Brown Cosmetics, Barbie Brown. Yes, she had a retreat like
this at her little hotel Cuto was it? And it
was just two days ago.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
I was at the George and Class.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Yeah, and there was a lot of powerful women that
were there and we just kind of sat around and
we we talked about lots of things that she had
to sleepover, and she had drinks and she had sushi
and just a lot of fun.
Speaker 6 (21:11):
See that it would be so like, That's exactly what
I want because I think when you get around women,
it's just and women that you can aspire to be
like it's something powerful that happens.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
I love that. Oh man, I met Bobby Brown on
the train. I knew I should have kept in touch,
you know what.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
That's how she may we make the connection. May we
make the connection for you because she.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Remember meeting me on the train. Yeah, because we're both
on the train.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
She's a very dear friend.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Oh my gosh, I love her.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Okay, done, look at that. Love her comes this interview.
It's gonna be the connection was the lady from the.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
View, because that's what I kept saying, I'm on the View,
I'm on the I'm gonna call host on the View.
She was like, you're not whooping, and I was like, no, no,
the others.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
So if she remembers me that way, Hey, you know what,
And there's something you had.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
A book that came out called She Slips every Woman's
Guide to Giving Herself a Break. Yes, And that term
has been used on this show how many times in
the past twenty nine minute letting Yourself off the Hook? Yes,
giving yourself a Break. Take us to that book because
it's still out there, just because it was published a
few years.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
Oh yeah, I got like ten thousand copies in my
stories twenty five cents.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
I can sell them to you.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
The book.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
The information is still as valids, very very relevant. Talk
about that book.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
I just think that women were so such perfectionists, and
we beat ourselves up and we feel guilty because we
didn't do this.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
We didn't do that. Sometimes you just gotta just breathe
and go it's okay. We can't do everything.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
I go through that mother get with my son and
I go with you know, he has autism, and people say, well, did.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
You do this kind of therapy and did you do that?
I was like, I just learned the term two days ago.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
I don't remember certain things I fit, you know, I
didn't get them to certain therapies.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
We don't do this, And I go, Sherry, you can't
remember it all.
Speaker 6 (22:58):
He asked me the other day, he said, why can't
you be like regular moms and have and go to
work and come home and wear your own hair.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
And I was like, well, that's not gonna happen. Okay,
I'm not gonna I.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
Can't feel guilty that I don't have a regular job.
I have a job where I travel, and I have
a job where I have to go make people laugh.
And you can't beat yourself up. You gotta treat yourself
like you're your best friend. And if you were talking
to your best friend, you'd say, girl, it's okay, you
can't do it all. And so I think that that
makes a big deal with even with our eating. Sometimes
I'm skinny, sometimes I'm most times I'm not. I don't
(23:31):
beat myself up anymore.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
It is what it is, and life has changed since
you started practicing this. I'm telling you there's something my
dad come as a kid, and I never really understood
it as a kid, but now as an old guy,
let yourself off the hook and learning to let other
people off the hook too, which is a whole other story.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Just turned fifty and my one, one of my best
friends sets.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Me welcome to the neighborhood. Yes, it's nice over here,
she said.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
When you hit fifty, it's the who gives a bleep
it is?
Speaker 6 (23:59):
Yeah, it's like when I have fifties, when it went
really when it was like no was was my anthem?
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Hey auntie, no, hey cut No.
Speaker 7 (24:09):
No.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
I love it. It's so sexy to me.
Speaker 7 (24:12):
No.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
The power of the word no.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
That's the power of the word no.
Speaker 6 (24:15):
I think I wish I could tell young girls if
you say no, you can always turn a no into
a yes. But it's harder to turn a yes into
a no and get used to saying no because usually
when you say no to people, they'll find a way
to do it.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
But we always think, oh god, I said no, they're
not gonna like me. Oh my god, what if No?
Speaker 6 (24:31):
It's just no, beautiful sound doesn't work for me without
all the explanation.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
It is born. It's like and and stop saying no,
I'm sorry because I got to do that. No, I
can't do it.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
It's a full sentence, no, no, no period.
Speaker 7 (24:43):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
And there's another that was no is a full sentence.
And there's a paragraph which is the shortest paragraph I know,
and it's I love you and we love you. You
are fabulous. I just want to say on behalf of
of course, our family here and we are we are
a family, and everyone listening to us right now, you
have brought such a gift of energy and light to
our show today and I can never thank you enough.
(25:05):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 6 (25:06):
That's I think people underestimate that because we're going through
so much. And that's really what I want my show
to be. Shary like, if you could just out of
sixty minutes out of your day, if I could just
be silly and crazy and make you laugh and make
you feel better than when you came, then I've done
my job.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
So thank you.

Shepherd and never have her in the room. Yeah, because
she is. If you look down her list of credits,
it just wears you out. I mean, I know this
is an old term, the busiest whoever in show business.
Sherry Shepherd is the busiest woman in show business. That's
how she found time to come hang out with us.

we heard that in the hallway. Someone said, oh, you know,
she's nominated for a daytime Emmy, And then I was
told that. Sherry says, oh no, no, that's nothing.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Let's say no, no, no, nay.
Speaker 6 (01:12):
He said, like, how does it feel to be a

wou lipstick.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
What does it say?
Speaker 6 (01:45):
It says I want an emmy? I want an emmy.
Good for you, congratulations, I'm really excited.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
You know, when we meet a Sherry Shepherd, I'm worn
out within one minute because we just come in here
and do this four hours ago, crap and go home.
It seems like just reading don your credits, you just
never stopped.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Oh, I'm so thankful, are you?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
I mean, you are thankful, and you should be, but
you know, thankful but also very talented, which has a
lot to do with it. But are you the type
of person Sherry who if you're not always about to
do something or doing something, you feel like you're being
chased or some monster or something.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
I feel like if I'm not working, I get really
I get really depressed.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I like you.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
In one of our dressing rooms is an old and
Homasha Joan Rivers and we got and she used to
say if there was ever an empty date on her calendar,
she was a failure. Now don't feel like a failure.
But if there are empty dates on my calendar, I
do get. I get a depression, and I get like
a panicky thing, like, oh, is it gonna stop? So
(02:47):
I'd like to work. You know, do you vacation?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I'm just saying vacation when you must be just a bitch.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I went on a vacation.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
I haven't had a vacation in three or four years.
And I finally went to a jazz festival. But in
order I kissed babies, I took pictures. I was trying
to get George Benson on the show.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
I worked and it was great.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
I never sat and actually enjoyed this show, so I
know I haven't. I always canceled my girlfriends because I
booked something. Oh Man so I haven't gone.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I need to go to belize or something.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Well, no, don't do that. You know what they'll be.
There's time to sleep when you're dead. As they say that.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Yeah, my father used to say that all the time.
He's in a nursing home.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
All right, you can find.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Funny anyway on stage.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I gotta tell you doing what Sherry does? You watch?
You watch? I mean, no Sherry every day, but you know,
to be able to go to see Sherry's show if
you're in New York, to get this ticket. It's a
lot of fun because there is a show that's off
that's not on the network. There's a show that's on
the network. I mean, be the energy, the building of
the show. It's something that's so much it's so much
(04:03):
fun to do when you're in the back getting all
dressed up and get it made up. Do you feel
the energy coming from the energy from the audience, Oh,
my gosh.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
Yes, because normally when you do a show, you have
a warm up comic who does jokes in the audience
goes and then it's up and then they keep joking.
We have a full DJ. We got DJ sus One
and we have Marco glorious.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Who is?
Speaker 6 (04:24):
He hypes up the crowd. So it's a party. People
are dancing people. It's like you're at a club.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
How do I get tickets?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Like, yeah, you just.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
Show up and say you know who I am.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
If my aunt friend decided to fly to New York
and get tacked, I mean, do you go through the
how do you get Let me tell you how.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
When people tell me their aunts are coming or their
grandmother's I give them the whole, Like your aunt friend
will get to come in the dressing room with me.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Well, she's dead, and she's dead. She's dead, she's dead,
I remember, we can pray.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
That would be downer for the show. Having a body
in the corner.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Wears a waldough money to buy clothes, like an allowance
to buy clothes.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
I don't get an allowance.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Will.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I don't know where Willy my stylists.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
He came with me, but you know, we we borrow
clothes and then he's waving and then we give them
back and then so sometimes I'll try to like pour
gravy on there so I.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Get to keep it like this, I want to keep it, yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
But I gotta pay for it. So but if I
pour gravy on it.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
Then he gets all upset and I go, oh, can
I buy it at a discount?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Let me tell you what you're wearing today. I can't
wait to borrow it is the power color. You know,
there's just so many reasons to celebrate, and I've always
saying we need reasons to celebrate at all time. Absolutely,
but look at everything you're accomplishing, Sherry. And I know,
I know it's a lot of work because I have
friends that have the same work ethic as you, and
they wear me out. But I mean at the end
(05:51):
of the day, when you go to your brown stone, yes,
and you walk into your bathroom and you close that door,
it's just you in that mirror.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Youlyptus branch, and you can look yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Yeah, when you look in the mirror, do you ever
have a conversation with you about what how satisfied you
were with the day? Or do you actually have that
gratitude thing going that we all here? It's very important?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Are you kidding me all the time?
Speaker 6 (06:13):
Especially at my age, like my birthday, I just turned
fifty six, and I am I go, this used to
be a time where it's like at this age, people
would kind of throw you away and say you're not
viable anymore, or you know, we can't work with you.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
We want younger.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
And so I really appreciate when I say I'm thankful,
I really mean that because this talk show dream has
been eighteen plus years of being told no, you can't
do it, you're too old. We don't want a single
talk show host. We want celebrities that are bigger than you,
who can do a talk show. It was always no.
So to finally be in a position of no, it's
(06:50):
not my age and being able to prove to people
what I was always pitching. I know what I'm doing.
I know I'm a stand up comic. I know how
to if there's silence, I know how to make it funny.
And finally somebody believed in me. Thank you Deb Marmurcury
and gave me a chance. And so that's this is
why the Immy nomination means so much to me, is
(07:12):
because I just I didn't give up on the dream.
So that signifies to me what I am doing is
what I knew it's right.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
So what are we learning here today? That I love Shepherd,
that we love Sherry Shepherd. You know what you have
that drive. You have that thing going on that's kind
of churning away. Never never give up your dream.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
Ever, well except if you auditioned it for American Idol,
and you know you can't say, well, you got to
give up on their dream, not stop it.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
But you know what all these years, it took eighteen
years to get this show, but look at everything you did.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
In the meantime. It was like the preparation.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Like people say to me, oh my gosh, you're a
teleprompter queen, because I can do it in one take.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
I can do a telepromter.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
I bless you, and I put my jokes on the teleprompter,
so it never it looks like I'm just doing it,
but I have my jokes on the teleprompter.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
But Barbara Walters, I learned that from.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Her because she was like, I'm not if I can
do it in one take, you can do it in
one take, We're not gonna wait for you.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
And I had to learn that.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
So being on the view, I learned to Doing Dish Nation,
I was in the studio by myself because the other
team was in Atlanta, so I had to learn to
look in a camera and that was my audience so
all of the stuff prepared me for where I am now.
And I used to work for Tom Joyner on the
radio for four years on a microphone.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
We had to get up.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
I was telling Nate at three we had to be
there three in the morning because three it's six o'clock
in New York. So we were the drive time for LA.
It was three to six in the morning. I was
sleep during half the songs. I was so tired.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
But I love being on radio.
Speaker 6 (08:49):
I love talking on the I have a podcast with
Kim Whitley that I started when they kept saying no
to my talk show. I said, I'm gonna start my
own podcast because I'm tired of trying to ask for permission.
And we won two na A c P Image Awards
for our two Funny Mama's Podcast.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
So I you know.
Speaker 6 (09:05):
This, this just means so much to me, all of
the stuff that is happening. I don't take it for granted.
And I'm very, very thankful. So it's not just me saying, oh,
I'm so thankful. You know, here's my beads. I rubbed
my beads. I'm thankful, you know what.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
By the way, Sherry Shepherd is here I'm sorry, I
mean nominated sherry. Shepherd brings us sherry every weekday, and uh,
how could this energy.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
Not I'm making that a necklace. Let me win this
emmy hanging right between my boobs. You don't even understand.
This emmy's going with me everywhere. It's gonna be on
my bumble profile. That's a big big women men looking
for farmers wives whatever whatever I mean.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
That's a heavy, heavy piece of jewelry to wear. Like
I got speaking things, Danielle has already done what you
were going to do this summer. Go ahead, talk about
your jacket. Let me see what did I do? All
breast reduction?
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Oh they look good. A little it looks so good.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
A little left, a little breast reduction.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
And to tell you, it makes the biggest difference going
home now and putting a T shirt on and not
having to wear a bra.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
That's what I'm walking around the house. That's right.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
I don't have a broad out garrette.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
People don't understand when you gotta even going and you
gotta put that brown it's a lot of I sound
like John Wick.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
You're putting it on and then when you take it off.
Speaker 6 (10:32):
Girl, that's my dream just to be able to do
it and not have to do a broad But you
got a little lift.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
I'm getting a lot of little.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Oh yeah, well no, I got a lot of left.
But it was the best thing. I was one of
the best things I've ever done for myself.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
I gotta do this, I just said, And you know,
let me test.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
I got big hairy ones. I gotta get rid of
these things.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
I don't know. They gotta get the hair off first.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Maybe that's the problem.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
But I dream about this because I'm telling and I
love my boobs.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
They're huge. I love them.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
They have served me well, like in my twenties. Like
that's what I'm saying when I talked about this Freaknik
video coming out. I was in my share of lifting
my when I was in my twenties. I'll be in
the car my girlfriends and the truck was behind us,
and I was like whoa, and I would.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Lift up my shirt and they would pull the thing
on the truck.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
I did that. I went through that whole thing. I
wore cleavage down in my stomach. And I mean, they
have served me well. My best friends have been good
to me. Now they're tired. It is time to let
them go and just sit there and you know, you know,
do you shut corner whatever they do with pasture, have
the pastor now it's like, yeah, I love them, but
(11:34):
it's time to let the girls wait.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
So you go and like can buy a little tank
top and not have to worry about Oh yes, had
a bathing suit and suit.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Danielle used to cry, shed try on bathing suits and
she would come in here the next day just oh
my god.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
I hated the way it looked there huge.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
And when I came to New York City for the
first time, like for work, I got off of a
bus and somebody looked at me and went look at
them watermelons, and I was and I got so upset
and so depressed and said.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
One day, I'm going to get it done. And I
waited till my kids were old enough or I didn't
have to pick them up.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
And now, oh see, now I get I used to
get heck when I was on stage and they was stated,
see I did black crowds.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
I looked, they haven't you gonta do a black crowd?
They let you know you got some big Sorry, you're.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
All good, said, can't tell you a funny story? Because
you know radio this is this is the dump button, okay,
but we we didn't push it. So Cedric the entertainer
was here two weeks ago and he would he said
the effort and I said, Cedric, we can't say the effort.
I'd hit the dumb button. Then he said the S word,
the craft word, and she said, I'll push it myself.
He considered dumping himself anyway, Sherry Shepherd is here. Were
(12:49):
so excited to have the energy in the room. Yes, Kandhi,
you are to me.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Or a nicon because you were one of my favorite
TV shows of all time, thirty Rock thirty Rocks, and
one of the best characters too. And I know Ali
agrees with me about this, but you are just doing
so much. And I know you have a show coming
up as well at City Winery. However, going through your
bio of all of the things, I found something interesting
what you were talking to somebody about how being in
jail made you financially responsible to jail.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yeah, do you have to go there to be.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
And I was like, oh, what.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Did Sherry Shepherd go to jail for? And when I
saw what it was, I can't even lie.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
I was like, oh, my god, traffic warrants.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Traffic, Yes, that is not sexy enough.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
Well, I wasn't thinking sexy. It was moving violations. And
when you get you get a moving violation.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
My insurance. I hadn't paid my insurance for two years.
Speaker 6 (13:38):
And the reason why because I was in a religion
that I thought Armageddon was gonna come bother, So why
Bob would paid my bill?
Speaker 3 (13:45):
So I never paid.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
So when I would get a traffic ticket because insurance
was expired, I threw it in my glove compartment. But
when you get that, when you don't show up to court,
it's a bench warr Oh yeah. So I had ten
thousand dollars worth of binge warrants. And I was on
my way to the comedy store to perform, and the
cops pulled.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Me over and they were like, you got to go
to jail.
Speaker 6 (14:03):
So I went to jail and it was on Martin
Luther King's the holiday, Thank you Martin Luther King.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
So I had to stay.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
I had to say an extra long because I went
in on a Friday and it was Saturday Sunday.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
It was Martin Luther King Day on Monday, so we
were all off.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Now, now we all for I gotta stay in jail the
nextra day I was. I had traffic warrans four and
four different courts, so one one I had to go
to Compton. So every day you go back and forth
to jail. Then I had to go to LA. Then
they're go to Beverly Hills, and then I had to
go there was another one in LA. So every day
you went to a different court. So I was in Yeah,
I was in jail for the for the age to
(14:36):
ten days and uh yeah, And I never am late
on my bills.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Now I pay everything.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
He notice this because I used to be like, when
they call, you know, Cherry, you gotta pay it.
Speaker 6 (14:45):
I'll be like, Shrey, don't leave here no morning. I'm
telling I never paid anything. I pay everything one time.
I'm so financed because I don't want to go back.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I wouldn't want to go back again.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Els had the lights turned off on him.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Remember you DJ credit for many years. If you're in
radio and you're moving around the country as we used
to do back in the day, you would just I
don't have to pay that. I'm moving on to Atlanta now,
and you know you move on. But no, they would
show up and turn things off, and they sure do.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
I came out. I got a victied.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
So many times my stuff would be like out there
on the lawnch I learned how to. I had an
apartment every name. But that's the way I used to
live when I was young and a struggling comic.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
And so no more.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
You're not missing those days.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
I don't miss though, when you get this age, you can't.
I can't go to jail at this age. The first
day they steal my wig, I'd be like, hello, that's
right there, I got a wig. Oh my gosh, what
is going on in this way?
Speaker 3 (15:42):
If they don't have nothing to feed me? That's keto.
I'm like, oh, oh my gosh. You know we hanes hair,
white panties.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Look at all you've done. I mean you can we
can all play a game of our favorite thing that
Sherry Shepherd is. And you already mentioned one thirty.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Rock and this story.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
I have that sound on my phone.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Yeah you do give me My single is drop, and
my single, my single is dropping. Are you ready?
Speaker 5 (16:14):
This is this is actually on my phone and I
use it every.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Now and then.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
That's better than any Emmy award.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Right, Oh man, that was the most fun project with
Tracy Morgan.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
It was thank you you did bring up something very
important here in New York. You can see you can see, uh,
you cannot see.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
No, it's sold out.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
So my show at the City Winery is sold out.
I probably should add another show, but it's sold out.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Are you gonna be Brunswick, New Brunswick, New Jersey?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Yes, what a and what a beautiful, stunning drive.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
But it'll be worth it. I'm telling you it'll be
worth it. May nineteenth, I'm gonna give aways with Kim Whitley.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Yes, you and Kim really have a thing going.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
We've been best friends for almost thirty years. Wow, me
and Kim Whitley.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
So we started this podcast that people just took too
and like I said, we won two NAACP Image Awards
and we decided to take this on the roll our
two funny mamas. It's good to have a partner, right,
Oh my gosh, I love it. She gets on my
nerves so bad, the whole point.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Yeah, I mean if she didn't, it wouldn't meet.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Yeah. Well that's that's good. Girlfriends.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
You gotta have like a you know, you gotta have
that kind of girlfriend. But we we're right to die.
We've been together so long.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Well, I've got a pair of tickets. Is this true?
Speaker 7 (17:23):
Four?
Speaker 3 (17:24):
I want to make this worth it for you?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
All right?
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Wait?
Speaker 5 (17:26):
Can you make it a two pack and give it
to Danielle and idea.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
We'd like to go.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Y'all come anyway, let's let's back room that Okay, call her,
just call around one eight hundred two four two zero
one hundred. What is Diamond? Have you met Diamond? What
are you doing in that?
Speaker 7 (17:42):
I'm just smiling because I love Sherry and I've been
telling everybody this all day. My mom is obsessed with you.
She has been to your show twice already. We're trying
to get her to go for her birthday before you
guys are on vacation. But like I mean, she's obsessed.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Oh, tell her to come. I give it VIP. I
like moms. They always get the VIP treatment.
Speaker 7 (18:02):
She might fat on you, but.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
I don't know. We just had vacation last week and
Diamond and her best friend went to London London Parish.
It was the most Instagram I've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
How were the men out there? Did you do eat love?
Speaker 7 (18:20):
No? I didn't, But let me tell you something the
men out there ten out of ten. I mean skin really,
since I mean the eye contact, the beards shaved.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
To those European guys. They wear their pants differently, they do.
There's something weird. There's something different about their pants over there.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
Brigitte Nelson, we get our nails zone. And I lived
in La at the same place. And she told me,
she said, Cherry, you gotta go over to Europe to
get your man. She got a waiter because you know,
when you get a waiter over in Italy, it's not
the same as getting a waiter over here in Hacky Sack,
it's completely different.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
But you go to Italy and get a waiter, it's
like we can be together a lifetime.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
It's just it.
Speaker 6 (19:01):
And she said, you got to go over to Europe
and get a man because and she's like girl, and
they love black women.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
That's what I want to ask me down. I loved it.
Are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
I love it? And by the way, here come the
text from waiters and hacking side sharing. All right, yeah,
call a name, a number, number of caller or whatever,
it's your choice. Twelve call her twelve. With a million
people calling car twelve, you get to see Sherry Shepherd.
(19:35):
That is so cool. So in your life where you
seem to be as busy as busy can be, Yeah,
are you always thinking about what's next? I mean, this
show is still like, it's still a baby, it's still yes,
and it's diapers, you know, and it has so many
stories and journeys ahead of itself. What do you think
in ahead?
Speaker 7 (19:53):
I want to do.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
I want to do a women's like retreat like Inexperience
with Sherry, because I have so many like amazing girlfriends
and and I just would like women to be able
to get together and relax and just go and feel
seen and just have a good time like you know,
have comedy and have singing and have you know, therapy
and we just get to unwind and we just get
to you know, cry.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
And I want I want that. I want to direct.
I'm always thinking of what's next.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
How do you findancide about that? What does it look
like like? Where is it?
Speaker 7 (20:20):
This?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
This this retreat?
Speaker 6 (20:22):
We I haven't thought that far. It's just these ideas
in my mind. And so that's what I want to do.
So I got to start thinking about it like and
solidifying it and just uh, I just want an experience
in this. My mindset is always and I guess I
got this from my parents. You never know when this
one's gonna end. So you always got to have something something.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Like guys from one guy to another. Uness I could.
Those days are done, by the way, speaking of the retreat,
this is interesting, but Gandhi and Danielle our friend Bobby
Brown Cosmetics, Barbie Brown. Yes, she had a retreat like
this at her little hotel Cuto was it? And it
was just two days ago.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
I was at the George and Class.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Yeah, and there was a lot of powerful women that
were there and we just kind of sat around and
we we talked about lots of things that she had
to sleepover, and she had drinks and she had sushi
and just a lot of fun.
Speaker 6 (21:11):
See that it would be so like, That's exactly what
I want because I think when you get around women,
it's just and women that you can aspire to be
like it's something powerful that happens.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
I love that. Oh man, I met Bobby Brown on
the train. I knew I should have kept in touch,
you know what.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
That's how she may we make the connection. May we
make the connection for you because she.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Remember meeting me on the train. Yeah, because we're both
on the train.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
She's a very dear friend.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Oh my gosh, I love her.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Okay, done, look at that. Love her comes this interview.
It's gonna be the connection was the lady from the.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
View, because that's what I kept saying, I'm on the View,
I'm on the I'm gonna call host on the View.
She was like, you're not whooping, and I was like, no, no,
the others.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
So if she remembers me that way, Hey, you know what,
And there's something you had.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
A book that came out called She Slips every Woman's
Guide to Giving Herself a Break. Yes, And that term
has been used on this show how many times in
the past twenty nine minute letting Yourself off the Hook? Yes,
giving yourself a Break. Take us to that book because
it's still out there, just because it was published a
few years.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
Oh yeah, I got like ten thousand copies in my
stories twenty five cents.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
I can sell them to you.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
The book.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
The information is still as valids, very very relevant. Talk
about that book.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
I just think that women were so such perfectionists, and
we beat ourselves up and we feel guilty because we
didn't do this.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
We didn't do that. Sometimes you just gotta just breathe
and go it's okay. We can't do everything.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
I go through that mother get with my son and
I go with you know, he has autism, and people say, well, did.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
You do this kind of therapy and did you do that?
I was like, I just learned the term two days ago.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
I don't remember certain things I fit, you know, I
didn't get them to certain therapies.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
We don't do this, And I go, Sherry, you can't
remember it all.
Speaker 6 (22:58):
He asked me the other day, he said, why can't
you be like regular moms and have and go to
work and come home and wear your own hair.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
And I was like, well, that's not gonna happen. Okay,
I'm not gonna I.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
Can't feel guilty that I don't have a regular job.
I have a job where I travel, and I have
a job where I have to go make people laugh.
And you can't beat yourself up. You gotta treat yourself
like you're your best friend. And if you were talking
to your best friend, you'd say, girl, it's okay, you
can't do it all. And so I think that that
makes a big deal with even with our eating. Sometimes
I'm skinny, sometimes I'm most times I'm not. I don't
(23:31):
beat myself up anymore.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
It is what it is, and life has changed since
you started practicing this. I'm telling you there's something my
dad come as a kid, and I never really understood
it as a kid, but now as an old guy,
let yourself off the hook and learning to let other
people off the hook too, which is a whole other story.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Just turned fifty and my one, one of my best
friends sets.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Me welcome to the neighborhood. Yes, it's nice over here,
she said.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
When you hit fifty, it's the who gives a bleep
it is?
Speaker 6 (23:59):
Yeah, it's like when I have fifties, when it went
really when it was like no was was my anthem?
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Hey auntie, no, hey cut No.
Speaker 7 (24:09):
No.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
I love it. It's so sexy to me.
Speaker 7 (24:12):
No.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
The power of the word no.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
That's the power of the word no.
Speaker 6 (24:15):
I think I wish I could tell young girls if
you say no, you can always turn a no into
a yes. But it's harder to turn a yes into
a no and get used to saying no because usually
when you say no to people, they'll find a way
to do it.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
But we always think, oh god, I said no, they're
not gonna like me. Oh my god, what if No?
Speaker 6 (24:31):
It's just no, beautiful sound doesn't work for me without
all the explanation.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
It is born. It's like and and stop saying no,
I'm sorry because I got to do that. No, I
can't do it.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
It's a full sentence, no, no, no period.
Speaker 7 (24:43):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
And there's another that was no is a full sentence.
And there's a paragraph which is the shortest paragraph I know,
and it's I love you and we love you. You
are fabulous. I just want to say on behalf of
of course, our family here and we are we are
a family, and everyone listening to us right now, you
have brought such a gift of energy and light to
our show today and I can never thank you enough.
(25:05):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 6 (25:06):
That's I think people underestimate that because we're going through
so much. And that's really what I want my show
to be. Shary like, if you could just out of
sixty minutes out of your day, if I could just
be silly and crazy and make you laugh and make
you feel better than when you came, then I've done
my job.
