A there. Please welcome Miss Pat. Hey, thank you for having me. You look gorgeous. Your hair is fabulous. Uh, girdles a wig. I threw it together. Okay, let's head on. I'm going to the game tonight. I love that. I had a whole bunch of fake hair. Am I had the other day and they we were on camera and they had us do a yoga class. And I'm like, some's going to fall out.

Something. Something's going to fall out. Well, I'm so excited. You're here. I mean, I, I, the such a fan. Your show is incredible. But I mean, your story is just it's it's everything. And I found when I was, you know, looking at your history and everything. I felt like I wanted to hug you and laugh with you and get advice from you and all of it all at the same time.

I want to talk about the show because I think it's amazing. But can we scroll back for a little bit for people that don't know your story and how you got into comedy because I mean, you're like a 16 year old mom.

No, I was a 14 year old mom. 14 year old mom. And, and you decide not to sell pussy, but to sell drugs.

I'm not a pussy too much. How about work? Yeah, right. That was the wise choice. Plus the crack head just came. I so it took the price of pussy down to $5. So you've been working forever to make to just get cheek for late money. Just take my word.

But no, I had two kids. I grew up in the end of Atlanta here and I had two kids by mayor man by the time I was 15. I dropped out of school in the eighth grade and I started selling drugs because it was the only thing I can do.

Either you was a drug dealer. You so pussy my community. So I decided to go with one with the least hardest work, which was a drug deal.

And a little more lucrative apparently a lot more lucories. Okay. You ain't got to remember your customers really. They just show up looking a different way every time you see them.

And so after that, I ended up in prison up for about a year. I got married and I turned my life around and I ended up with a book in a TV show that's kind of it in a nutshell.

So yeah, that's the faster. So you had two kids your own and then you inherited your sisters for kids. Yeah, I took all my sister for keys right after I got married. I was 18. Yeah.

So when I got out of the streets, I was like 18 19. So my sister was on drugs. So I took custody of her for girls. So here I am with six keys and 19. What are husband with no keys? Don't actually like stuck around.

We still together almost 30 years now. I love that. Thank you. And in day grew up, she came back and got them and turned them into whatever she turned them into.

Now I have my knees for keys. What is the secret to the 30 year marriage?

Communication. I'm not going to like them every day. You not go you not you fall in and out of love. Honestly, I tell people, you know, you can either wake up with something brand new or wake up and work on what you already got.

And I just decided I'm gonna wake up and work on what at least he know me. I don't have to, you know, I'm a pro size woman. He know what to unsticking what not to unsteak.

I you I can take my wig off and lay next to him and look just like him. When you get in a new relationship, you gotta keep your makeup on.

It's a lot of work. It's a lot of work. I can just go home and let my boobs hang.

I don't feel like taking a bath that day. And he I'll write. So I say that to my husband too. I'm always like, I'm not going anywhere. I'm like, I'm 53.

Things are not where they used to be. And I don't want anyone else looking at it.

You know, I always tell my husband, I watch it if you want me.

Well, my husband and I've been together 26 years. And I, I talk about the lot because there's like good days and bad days and there's actually good years and bad years.
