[Jess Hilarious]

Emotional ass, gangster. Yes, yes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm a cancer, too.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh. That's why. Okay. Yeah, I see it. Okay. All right. There we go, Shannon. All right, but I don't. I get you now, but I don't bother nobody. No, not until somebody bother you. Yeah, but then you. But then you don't know how to let it go after that. And that's you. That's 50. Oh, that's. Yeah, Yeah. I think charlamagne may be the Only cancer. That doesn't. That's not like that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But he always starting stuff. He is.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, yeah. He's the opposite. He starts it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Jess Hilarious]

And then wanna hide his hand.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes, yes, yes.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's why I told him. I said, your little Ninja Turtle looking ass, somebody gonna get you one day.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, they got him that one time, remember? They rolled up on him.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, they did.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They did. And when Baby rolled up on him, he got real quiet. When Baby rolled up.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah. Yeah. Certain Charlamagne pick his battles. Yeah, he picks them.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, he talk crazy. He talk donkey. Give people donkey of the day. He should have gave Baby donkey of the day.

[Jess Hilarious]

Listen, and who's that one? The state property dude. Oh, my God. Beanie Siegel. He was quiet with Beanie Siegel, too. Yeah, he was quiet. Beanie said, look, yo, don't be mad. He said, okay, all right? He said, yeah. Cause you don't. You don't lit us. You don't know what this is. Charlamagne said, yeah, you're right. Yeah, that's right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But it's somebody else. He keep going back and forth. He won't let it go.

[Jess Hilarious]

He will. He don't play with me neither, though, you know? Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What are your thoughts on 50 and Big Meech?

[Jess Hilarious]

So listen, 50 and 50 and Big Meech, I feel like it was business, right? So I understand what 50 did for his family. Yes, you put money in his family's pocket. But if Rick Ross is Big Meech's friend, like, if they were friend, like, they. Like, Rick Ross, like, allegedly took care of this nigga while he was in jail. Took care of this man while he was in jail, you know, and before, like, they've been acquainted, you know? I feel like big Meech and 50, they weren't friends. This is a business thing. So how can you get upset with Little Meech for something that Big Meech did?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right?

[Jess Hilarious]

You know what I mean?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes, for sure.

[Jess Hilarious]

That Little Meech really wasn't even a part of. Now, no, I'm not too crazy about Little Meech, but I actually did feel bad for him.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Cause he got put in a bad spot.

[Jess Hilarious]

He really did get put in a bad spot. And honestly, the whole sending him to rehab thing, I just think that was a lot then that could have been left out, you know, because we don't know what he was dealing with, why he was, you know, drugging the way he was or whatever, you know, and whether it was for fun or not, you know, you didn't put it out. You didn't choose to put it out then, you know, you put it out now when his dad is doing the thing that you don't like, you know? So, yeah, I do kind of feel.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Bad for the brother in two minutes of fame. Keke Palmer, Katt Williams, D.C. young, Fly, Sinbad D'on Cole, Carlos Miller, Earthquake and Red Grant. What was that experience like for you, being on set with all those guys?

[Jess Hilarious]

I actually didn't get to see a lot of them. I only got to be on set with Ron Rico Lee and Jay Pharrell.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay.

[Jess Hilarious]

Funny personalities, them both. Now. I love Ron Rico Lee from Sister Sister. Like, that man still look good to this day, you know? So I was looking. I was like, okay. You know, it's just great, the nostalgia of actually, like, knowing who he is. And it's like, oh, my God. Yo, and then Jay Farrell, who's a funny, funny dude, man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Jay Farrell, man.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, my God, he is. Yeah, he's. That was nice. That was good. I actually didn't even get to meet Kat on that set. I met Cat at tycoon weekend for 50 cent a couple years ago. But, yeah, that was a good. It was good. It was a good movie, too.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I got the hookup to Master P, John Witherspoon, Cash Doll, Cyril Underwood. I mean, another one. Young, D.C. jeezy, Webby Romeo, Michael Blackson, B. Simone, April Jones. What was that like?

[Jess Hilarious]

All the Blacks. All the Blacks. That movie was like a long skit. That's why I said. I said, why would you even touch. I got the hookup to. Why would you touch the first one? Yo, it was nostalgic. It was great. You could have just did, like, a skit movie, you know? But it was good being on set. But I'm gonna tell you one thing. Hold on, let me take a sip. We'll be right back after this, guys. Now, the thing was, Master P, there was no. There was no script. I got there, right? Got on set, he said, jess, do what you did. I said, what the hell is that? Like, what do you want me to do? Like, what does that mean, right? He said, no, no, I got you being a cop. Like, you now. Do what you do. I said, yo, what is the movie about, right? I don't know. Like, you know, what am I doing? Give me some type of leeway. He just wanted us to do what we do. Now, some people may take that direction and be like, okay, great. Yeah, cool. I'll do what I do. Not me. Cause it's like, yo, I need to know. I'm an actress. I need to know, like, you don't just throw. This is not wild n out. You know what I mean?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right?

[Jess Hilarious]

I know what to do, Cindy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ad lib, Freelance.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes, I know what to do. And yes, I can improv. But I need a basis like I need a founder. There was no foundation to the movie. There was no foundation to the project. And while I love what Masterpiece stands for, no shade to that. It's just. It was unorganized and it just was an unprofessional set.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You know, allegedly. You didn't get paid. Did you get your money?

[Jess Hilarious]

I didn't get paid for both scenes. I did not.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So how much were you promised?

[Jess Hilarious]

So 15,000 per scene, right? They used one scene, but I shot both, so I should have got $30,000. It's not about what airs. I mean, what premieres. It's about what I charged for that scene back in those times, and I didn't get compensated for that. And I kept.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Have you talked to him?

[Jess Hilarious]

No. And every time he come up the Breakfast Club, I ain't there.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You need to make it sure you're there.

[Jess Hilarious]

I know. Well, he need to make sure the money is there. Ain't no damn. I need to make sure I'm there. Shoot.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So in these acting scenes, have any actors? Because I remember we had Terry Crews on. He said Tashina Ono, he had a problem remembering his lines. And she said, terry, you like to sing, Just sing them. And that's how he remembered his lines. So I was curious that when you're on set, has anybody given you advice to help you if there was something that you were struggling with?

[Jess Hilarious]

No, no. I honestly have never struggled with anything on set. Now, I take my scripts very serious. I take every job I do very serious.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So what about Love and Hip Hop? You say you was on Love and Hip Hop Hollywood, right?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, for one episode.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's it?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah. Hell, yeah. I wasn't about to be a part of that whole franchise cast running around.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You make money, though.

[Jess Hilarious]

Don't they pay good depending on who you are? Yeah, they paid me good. One day. You're damn right. That's why I only got one day. They said, look, wing, win. I mean, not, we ain't got it. We ain't giving it for all it. Come on, Jess. No, but I'm like, all right. But that was very situational, though. I ended up on there because of something that went down between me, Moniece and Apryl. That wasn't. I was never going to be a part of Love and Hip Hop Hollywood. That ain't even none of my friends.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You and April had a fallout.

[Jess Hilarious]

It wasn't really a fallout. It was. It was. It was crazy. I had ended up. Me and Apryl were friends, right? And then she. We just stopped, like. She stopped communicating with me, like, and took like eight months off. Didn't talk to me for almost a whole damn year and expected for me.

[Shannon Sharpe]

To still pick right back up with that.

[Jess Hilarious]

Be like, nah, like, what you talking about?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Are you one of them friends that need to talk periodically?

[Jess Hilarious]

Hell no, I'm not. But this what you ain't gonna do. You ain't gonna not. I forgot exactly why she stopped talking to me, but she stopped and took eight months off. And so what I did, which I shouldn't have done, it was bad. But we all do. Well, not we all, but, you know, sometimes it happens. I was actually cool with Moniece before. I never became friends with Moniece, but I was cool with her first before, prior to meeting April. And you know, Apryl was dating Fizz. Yeah, with Omarion, Omarion's band member and you know, one of his, like, good friends or whatever.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Did you do something like that?

[Jess Hilarious]

Hell no, I ain't never did nothing like that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I ain't say you did. I said, could you?

[Jess Hilarious]

Hell no. No, I can't do that. Not both of them was in the band and I got kids with one. And then now, you know, you go from being my brother to, ugh, how we gonna do that? So you uncle, Stepdad. I don't know. Yeah, that was crazy. And that was the thing. I didn't know any of that was going on until I was actually already her friends. So that's why I feel like you should be able to date friends to see what they. You know, how you date somebody to see if you like them and you want to make them your significant other. I think you should have a dating period for people to be your friend too. Because I want to see what you come with because your becomes my bull. And now people going to think you already knew.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You knew that?

[Jess Hilarious]

No, I did not.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I don't. But they think they do.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, yeah. Date. Oh, you just co signing that? You think that's cool? You ain't telling her that she shouldn't be dating her her kid's uncle. You didn't tell her that? I'm like, listen, hell I didn't. Everybody is telling her that and she don't care.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's just what it is. First he started off as a best friend and then it Became something else. And then it was, you know. But that's what happened. I ended up talking about her to Moniece and Moniece. No, it was voice notes I sent Moniece, right? And then once me and April had talked and we got reacquainted, I'm sitting there in the new house, right? Her and Fizz, that they had lived together in that time, right? And we on live. And then I see people commenting on her live, like, apryl, Moniece just went live. You need to go see what she talking about. And so Apryl was trying to ignore it. I'm the one, like, now, let's go see what she's talking about. Then, uh. Oh, Jesus Christ. We went to the girl page. Monisha's sitting there, nice and cute with her little glasses on. And you hear my voice. She just playing my voice notes back. And I'm saying everything.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ah, man, you know you can't leave no voice message.

[Jess Hilarious]

I still be leaving voice messages. You leave voice. Yeah, but I. But you know, I'm reformed.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Other than, hey, it's me. Hey, hit me when you get it. That's all I got for you.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's what it is. You know, I apologize. And so. So that's how I got it on. That's how I got on. Love in Hip Hop Hollywood. She had you. You had. Abra was so, like, upset. She cried and everything. Cried, cried, cried. Fizz come through the door. He came through the door on the right part. I was tumbo. Him too. Jesus Christ. And he was looking like, what? And I was like, yeah, you ain't.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Gonna like that, bro.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, I did it. It is what it is. So then April in the bathroom, she wouldn't come out. I said, all right, y'all want rego? I. You know, I know the. It is what it is. We just made up. But apparently we done now again. So I'm just gonna go ahead, remove myself from y'all lives. I love y'all. Peace out, right? Soon as I'm about to hit the door, Mona calls Apryl. Should we send a camera crew? What's going on over there? I don't know how. Yeah. Cause she sit there. She was watching the live. And then Moniece must have called Mona, however that happened. April was like, wait, don't leave. I want you to shoot this episode. And. Cause this is great for tv. It's like, what? So that's how I ended up doing that. But child, please, I didn't care about it then. I don't care about It.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Now, what have you learned about public dating since you've become in the spotlight?

[Jess Hilarious]

Don't do it. Don't try to hold. If you can hold onto a piece of privacy, do it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Because, you know, when you date publicly, you gotta break up publicly.

[Jess Hilarious]

Mm. Yep. Yep. Or they will continue to attach you to.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yep.

[Jess Hilarious]

They going to continue to attach you and ask you questions about people that you ain't attached to no more.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And then what. And what about your partner? When they keep asking you about somebody you're not attached to and then the person that you are attached to, do they feel some type of way about that?

[Jess Hilarious]

No, to be honest with you. Chris. His name is Chris. Chris Ferriero. He is so cool about that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right?

[Jess Hilarious]

Like, I remember when Country Wayne's standup had came out, right? And we were laying in the bed, we going through Netflix and we see the standup, and he's like, you wanna watch it? And I'm like, no, no, I don't. He was like, why? I never seen him do stand up before. Let's watch it. Like, whatever. I was like, no, I don't wanna watch it. And he's like, all right, I respect it. Like, he's not. He's not what I thought it would be early on, I thought, you know. Cause you gotta prepare yourself for things like that when, you know, you are dating somebody who's also in the industry as well, and somebody that has a platform, you know, you gotta deal with that. You gotta be ready for somebody to question you about that or the other person to feel insecure a little bit. That's not him at all, right?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Cardi B and offset. Going at it online. Would you ever be in a situation where you would go at it with your baby's father, go back and forth? Like, I mean, the vitriol. I mean, going back and forth. And he's saying this and she's saying that. He's saying that. You witnessed, old boy, when you were pregnant and she, like. And was. You know, she. I mean, Cardi's slick at the mouth, right?

[Jess Hilarious]

Listen. Slick, slick, slick. Slick at the mouth, right? So. Hmm. I would never do that now. I never did that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right?

[Jess Hilarious]

Now, me and Rome, we done had our days, our arguments, you know, my son's father, I've never gone back and forth with him online. Hell, no. Never, ever wanted to do that. Cause at the end of the day, it's still us.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Jess Hilarious]

You know what I mean? Like, we still got this child, you know? So I gotta deal with you, you know, now this the thing I think Offset was doing him, he knew Cardi. He just knew that he had her. He knew she would never leave. He knew the things to do to.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Get her back by two Birkins, by three Birkins, by a roll.

[Jess Hilarious]

He might be good for, like, a couple weeks or a couple months. And then you back out there doing what you doing. You know what I mean? But then when she started moving on. Oh, that baby couldn't take that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

Mm. Now he. He be upset. He be upset when even.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Like, that's what they call him now. They call him upset.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, absolutely. He be upset when certain people take Cardi's side. Cause I think he feels like it's a side y'all not seeing. Y'all ain't saying this. Y'all ain't saying. Nah, but we seeing what you been doing. We see a side. You know what I'm saying? We see you, and then we also hear. Cardi tells us everything.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Everything.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's why I said she don't even need to be up here. She tell us everything anyway. You know what I'm saying? She everything. You know, like. And we see what you. And we see she. And she loved you through a lot of things that you put her through. You know what I mean? Like, Cardi's a lover. We obviously know that. And so, you know, she just wanted to be happy. And she tried to make that happen several times, but it don't always work out like that. Whenever you have.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Can social media ruin a relationship?

[Jess Hilarious]

Hell, yeah. Yes, it can. Because then you don't live for the other person anymore. You start living for the validation of others. You know what I mean? You start trying to pay attention to. You start trying to fit the mold of other people who.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What they think you should ain't even got.

[Jess Hilarious]

You don't even know what they got going on. You know what I mean? Like, you're trying to please too many people, and you're trying to look perfect in front of too many people. That's why I will say this. And I don't care who get mad at me. I love Kirk and Rasheeda from Lovin Hip Hop Atlanta.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay?

[Jess Hilarious]

That is a perfect example of a marriage going through everything. And a marriage standing every test and fighting through it and actually getting through it. And that's partnership right there. That's work.

[Shannon Sharpe]

How long in the relationship before we stop sending our representative out?

[Jess Hilarious]

Hmm?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Is it a month? Is it six months? In a year? Cause, you know we gotta send a representative.

[Jess Hilarious]

Damn right. Look what you see. Is what you get. Now, earlier on, look, I used to talk different when I used to. Like, I used to be like. Yeah, like. So, like, what do you think? No, I've always. I've always listened to that song. Like. And then that would be my representative for the first 30 days. Then I'd be like, what you talking about? Like, what you mean? Oh, yeah. No, I never said that. You know what I mean?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yo, and then. But by the time the 30 days, the representative is gone, they already in love with me, so, boom. You know what I mean?

[Shannon Sharpe]

You got it.

[Jess Hilarious]

But.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, but you follow the false pretense.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's right. That's why I had to stop doing that. That's why I had to stop doing that. That ain't good for nobody. Don't send a representative. What you see is what you get. They're gonna love you for you or they not. And that's how. You know.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I had Cheryl Underwood on a couple of weeks ago, and she said the man, no matter how much he makes, should be the head of the house, and the woman should be willing to follow his lead. Where are you on that?

[Jess Hilarious]

She said, the man should.

[Shannon Sharpe]

The man, whether or not he makes the most money, the man is the head of the house.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay, I see that. I see it. I get it. I get it. I think everything is so different in these times.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Jess Hilarious]

Everything is different.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Y'all ain't buying that. Y'all see, I'm. See, you know, you tried to come up with a way that you can get that you can rock with that position, but you ain't there yet.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah. Now, listen. Now, I'm gonna set it straight while I love to be led.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Jess Hilarious]

I love a man that leads. You know, I love a man with a purpose. You know what I mean? A man that I can learn from. I still see myself as equal in the household. I make decisions. He makes decisions. You know what I mean? My fiance, he makes decisions. I make decisions. It's not. It's not him alone by himself, you know? Yes, and that's fine. You know, he has his own company and he makes his own money and everything, but still, you gotta have some say to you. Yes, yes. And that's what it is. Now, how old is Cheryl Underwood?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Cheryl is probably a year older than me.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah. Okay. So I understand, though, in that era of her coming up and, you know, it's different. It's different times, you know, but things have evolved.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But see, Jess, the problem that I got with you women today, y'all want tradition. Without doing traditional things. Y'all want to be flowers, and y'all want this type of what your mom and your grandma, what they experience. But y'all don't do none of that. Shh. Y'all ain't cooking.

[Jess Hilarious]

Who.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Y'all ain't cooking? Who y'all ain't. Oh, you see what you saying? I want some say, too. My grandma ain't have no say in the house.

[Jess Hilarious]

Hmm. She didn't.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hell, no.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's crazy. You need to talk to your grandfather about that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You know, Barney Porter wasn't playing that.

[Jess Hilarious]

Now, I get what you're saying. See, see, my grandmother shot her husband, so I. Oh, Lord.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, yeah. She had a lot of faith.

[Jess Hilarious]

You're damn right. She said, hold up. What you say? It was what it's gonna be. All right? That's like. Shot him in his butt. Don't play with it. All right, so it's different over here.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It is.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right, now. Now, I cook.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Jess Hilarious]

I clean. I take care of my children. Okay, so does he. He cooks, he cleans, he works. He takes care of our children. He treats my son like that's his son, and. Of course.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And he take care of you?

[Jess Hilarious]

Mm. Yes, he does. And I take care of him right back.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay.

[Jess Hilarious]

You know, I scratch his back, scratch mine. I'm. I'm getting on my knees. He. I'm sitting on his face and all of that. All of that. Please. That's right. We both cleaning. We both don't. That's why I said it's. We are both leading our house right now. He's leading me in other ways, but in a household, it's both.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So It's a. So this relationship.

[Jess Hilarious]

King and a queen.

[Shannon Sharpe]

50. 50.

[Jess Hilarious]

Mm.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So you got saved? He got saved.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's right. That's right, man. That's what.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I like that.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

How did you know Chris was the guy, man?

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm going to be very honest with you. When I first met him, I was like, look, it's just gonna be a nice little smash, buddy. You know what I mean? When I met him. But it led to this, where I am right now, man. I met him February 23, 2023. I was just finishing up a co hosting day at breakfast Club. This is a year before I got the position, and I met him, and he. He's a truck driver. So he was on a stop, and I went into a restaurant, and I'm flirting with him and everything, and he wasn't really paying me no mind, so.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'M like, did he know who you were?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, he did, but he thought that, like, he was like, I don't want to be a part of no roast battle. Like, I don't even. That's the thing. People are intimidated. Guys are intimidated by me because they feel like I, you know.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You would try to clown them.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's right. And so he just was like, oh, God, this girl. Nah. So I asked him did he want to drink? And he's like, nah, I don't drink. I said, okay, you want an edible? I was feeling good. I was passing out, you know? And he was like, nah, I don't do any of that, you know? And I'm like, okay, cool. So you're like, ninja. What you do? Yeah, what do you do? You know? He was like, I drink wine with dinner. But I'm just. I'm like, so why you at the bar, then? Why are you at the bar if you're not drinking? He said, cause I'm grown. I was like, all right, don't do too much, you know. All right, don't get a little. Don't get sassy on me, you know? So I'm drinking and everything, and then we talk, and I'm still picking with him. I made him laugh, and that's when he cracked. And then he started engaging more. And I didn't realize how drunk I was until I got up and went to the bathroom. I was like, damn, I'm drunk. I gotta get out of here. So on my way back to the seat, he was like, hey, before I leave, I wanted to know if I could take you out, would you let me take you out? And I was like, oh, now you want the number? And I'm all drunk, and I'm like, now you want the number? I would have been. And so I'm falling all around. And he was like. He helped me and everything. And he was like, I'm gonna just put my number in your phone. Cause you probably ain't gonna be able to do it. And then he took a couple days, waited a few days. Then he hit me up, and he asked me could he take me out? And the first date we went to, first date we went on, I never left him. Since then, we never ever, like. I swear I was like, I'm gonna just sleep with him, and he gonna be somebody. Oh, the first day, yeah. When I met him, I'm like, he.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Like, drive the whole world.

[Jess Hilarious]

Wanted to crack it. Wanted to crack it. Take em down, Jazz. I already knew I wanted to jump on that climb that tree Jazz, what's up?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I mean, I thought, like, I came up in the era where, you know, you had to wait a month, two months, three months, four months. It wasn't no first night.

[Jess Hilarious]

Not if you know what you want. You ain't gotta wait. That's what the old folks say.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That what I'm saying.

[Jess Hilarious]

Don't jump right in bed and all of that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I mean, I had John Legend and John Legend say, hey, he met Chrissy, you know, they went out, boom. It's like that.

[Jess Hilarious]

It's like that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Women do that.

[Jess Hilarious]

Women do that. I'm a woman that did it. I know a few that do it too. Listen, I just knew where the hell got at.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I ain't met nobody.

[Jess Hilarious]

You ain't mean the guy that do women.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm the guy they wanna settle down with.

[Jess Hilarious]

Right? Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So they wanna settle down with me. So they need a year.

[Jess Hilarious]

Mm.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

Mm.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's what I said.

[Jess Hilarious]

Mm. Everybody got a different purpose, though. No.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No. How you. Dude got it in the backseat of the car. You want me to wear the year?

[Jess Hilarious]

I feel you. I feel you.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Why they do me like that?

[Jess Hilarious]

I don't know why they do you like that, Shannon. I don't know.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I don't look like a guy that want to have fun. I want to have fun, too. Why do I got.

[Jess Hilarious]

We heard you having fun.

[Shannon Sharpe]

There you go, Jeff.

[Jess Hilarious]

I heard you having all the fun you was having.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, Lord have mercy.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right, how long did you make her wait? How long it was till you cracked that?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, Lord have mercy, Jeff.

[Jess Hilarious]

And you talk her through it too. I said, I know that's right. That's different.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So let me ask you a question.

[Jess Hilarious]

I bet.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You go to his house or he come to your house or it's a neutral site hotel.

[Jess Hilarious]

See, I don't go to people's houses.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They come to you.

[Jess Hilarious]

Never been a person to go to nobody house.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He come to you.

[Jess Hilarious]

Absolutely I will. Oh, no, a man got to come.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, no, no. You got to be neutral site. Neutral site because, hey, women sometimes are not as forthcoming as they need to be. And so. Oh, no, I left him 20 minutes ago.

[Jess Hilarious]

Mm.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And I'd been in situations and, you know, it's not comfortable. And so no, I have not closed my eyes at a woman house in 30, 33 years and ain't gone.

[Jess Hilarious]

I got you. But that means something happened that you ain't get over.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, yeah, I understand it. I understand it now. See, Chris did not make it to my house until like our third date.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Jess Hilarious]

Because. All right, so the first, the first date he planned at a nice, really, really nice restaurant. Right? And he had like rented the room. It was a room. Chris got bread like that. Excuse me. So he had rented like a private room. Some of those like five star restaurants have private rooms. Yeah, I know people like me come in there, have parties and stuff like that, and we don't want to be with, you know, the other dining area.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So he taking pictures all night.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes. So he rented that and he. It was just us in this whole big room in this nice hotel, downtown Baltimore, right? So then he says, the conversation that this man had with me on the first date. He could have a conversation. That's what got me. You asked me, how did you know he was the one? He could have a damn conversation. And he did not ask me about Jess. Hilarious. One time, he wanted to know who Jessica Robin Moore was. To this day, that is who he is.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's what got you.

[Jess Hilarious]

You know what I mean? Like, I love that. Because you gotta be careful when you are a celebrity, you know, and you're trying to date people. You gotta know, like, yo, what's your motive? Who are you? Are you just dating me because of who I am and what I can do for you?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Jess Hilarious]

And I've done so much. I've taken care of some men.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Really?

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay. Yeah. How good. I'm taking care of some men.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But a man will let a woman take care of him.

[Jess Hilarious]

You're damn right. These days. And then go on a podcast talking about, y'all are all angry. That's because we taking care of your ass. Shit. We picking up where your mom left off. What's up with you? You know, so let me calm down, because I'm reformed, all right? You know? But, yes, he was able to have a conversation with me, Shannon. Like, he got to know me. He was talking about family. He was talking about how he had came up, and I was so busy trying to get in this man drawers. I'm like, damn. I was, man. It was fine. And people say he look like Brittney Grinder, but he a man, right? And Brittany is very attractive, too. I will say that. But he's a man, so. Mm. He was fine. And I didn't want the night to end. And how about the restaurant?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Clearly. Clearly didn't.

[Jess Hilarious]

How about. How about the restaurant was in a hotel? And so I was like, I'll be back. I gotta go to the bathroom. Went and got a room real quick. Came back. This man was acting like he ain't wanna go. I got something to do in the morning. I got. No, he had to work in the morning. I got work in the morning. All right, well, you can leave from here. And that's what he did. And. Yep. And I had to fly. I had a flight. I had to work in the morning, too. I had to fly to Atlanta to find something. And I did.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You did. Hold on. You did all that? J. That man had no idea that he was gonna be able to meet somebody back here.

[Jess Hilarious]

No, I. He sure didn't. He sure didn't he ran out. Go get the condoms. He ran. He was like, all right, I gotta go to the store. I said, listen, I keeps those. What are we doing? I already knew. When you asked me, can you take me? I already knew.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So you knew. You damn Jazz.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's right. Why we got ang? Why do women gotta act like they don't be wanting it and that. Why? Why what? That mean you are? That means you're a hoe or something. That's what that means if you do it on a first date, not if two years later, I'm popping a baby out and I'm. And I'm here. You done proposed. Excuse me. Doing it right now. Other times, it didn't work, all right? I ain't gonna lie.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, you ain't betting a thousand. Hey, a baseball player. If you hit 300, you can make 700,000. 700 million.

[Jess Hilarious]

It don't work all the time, but when it worked, it worked. And it did work this time.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Let me ask you this. How long should a woman wait to be flown out?

[Jess Hilarious]

Well, now, that's called trafficking, Shannon. So I don't know. I didn't realize. That's why I said, hold on. I was trafficked before, and I didn't know that when they were saying what the meaning was, I was, oh, my God, I'm a victim of trafficking. I didn't even realize. But I think you don't. Wait. It's all on the man. If the man will fly you out. Yeah, fly there. Just make sure you can get your back just in case he don't fly.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I had a ride. You gotta be a round trip ticket.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's right. But.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And it gotta be a hotel. Okay. You're not going to his place off the rip, right?

[Jess Hilarious]

No.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So it's gotta be a hotel. You gotta have your own space.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You know, you wanna freshen up when you get there. Boom, boom, boom.

[Jess Hilarious]

Absolutely. I'm getting off of a flight I want to go and be able to prepare to see, do he need to.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Pick you up or do he now have a car service to take you where you need to go? Does he need to pick you up or you need a service or does it matter?

[Jess Hilarious]

No, no, no, no, no. It depends. It depends on who it is.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay.

[Jess Hilarious]

It honestly depends on who it is and how bad you want to see this person.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Cause you don't want him in the airport, though, if he gonna be somebody.

[Jess Hilarious]

No, you can send a car.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay.

[Jess Hilarious]

No, send me a car.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay. Okay.

[Jess Hilarious]

You know? No, I don't expect for you to do that, send me a car, have me at a place, you know, have me pull up to my place, my hotel that you got. You know what I mean? But being flew out is kind of tricky because you gotta understand, ladies, these men are not obligated to do this. This is just something that they're doing. And you gonna pay for it, too. Whether you're paying for it with your body or anything else, but you're paying for it. And you must know that. So always still at least have your funds, right. So you don't be stranded.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right?

[Jess Hilarious]

Because I know a lot of people that got flew out and didn't wanna sleep with somebody, and for that, they didn't get flew back.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hold up. You came out on the one way. Oh, not me.

[Jess Hilarious]

Not me. No, I know somebody that I know a lot of people, you know, y'all know them too. But there's some people that didn't. That I know that that didn't happen to you. I said, why would you let him fly you out? And what you did. But you already knew what he wanted. Yeah. What you thinking when you got down and you thought you was different?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Y'all wasn't going to SeaWorld.

[Jess Hilarious]

The Brooklyn.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Damn.

[Jess Hilarious]

Well, he wouldn't take you to Universal Studios.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

Come on now. That's it. But it is what it is.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What's the craziest DM you ever receive? Do you read your DMs? Or you probably got your.

[Jess Hilarious]

Not now. Not now.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But you used to.

[Jess Hilarious]

I used to. Yes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It was crazy.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You ever met up with somebody in your DM from your dm?

[Jess Hilarious]

No, no, I've never. I always been too scared to do something like that. I ain't gonna lie. No.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What if it was a celebrity? I know some celebrities done slid.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, celebrities slid. Yeah, they did.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And you like. Nah, I ain't effort with you.

[Jess Hilarious]

No. Anything that I feel like can be used back can be used later against me or whatever. I don't even indulge. Like, don't play with me. And you can be my celebrity crush, and I still won't even indulge. Nah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What if he. Instead of sliding your dm, he see you, I say, you know, I got something for you.

[Jess Hilarious]

No, that's different. Back then, that would have been something I probably would partake in. But no cheating.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Is that a someone, a partner cheats? Is that automatically. That's the end of this relationship?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah. Because cheating is intentional. You know, it. It. It's intentional. Especially now. Listen, I. I don't. I don't care about the past if it's in the beginning. Now, right now, say you get in a relationship with somebody, and later on, they admit to you that they were still involved with somebody when y'all became official.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay.

[Jess Hilarious]

But they did cut it off.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Cut it off?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, shortly after y'all became official. Okay, that's different. All right, cool. I get it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But not. No. One year into the relationship, you still kind of.

[Jess Hilarious]

And you. No, no, no, no, no, no.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But it gets harder, though, Jess. When you got a kid, it does.

[Jess Hilarious]

But no, that goes a part of knowing what you want. Why are you in a relationship if you cheat? You know, you gotta know what you want. Even if you did feel like. Even if you did step out, you tested the waters and that. Cause sometimes people cheat and they get caught, and that scares them straight. Yeah, I get it. But even that's tricky, yo. Cause if you had the balls to do it, you know what I mean?

[Shannon Sharpe]

They got the balls to do it.

[Jess Hilarious]

Again, do it again. You know what I mean? And then I took you back. And sometimes your kindness can be taken for weakness. And you just. You. I don't know.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Is it true a fan sent you a video of somebody that you were dating cheating?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes. This was. Do you think that that might be altered relationships ago? Huh?

[Shannon Sharpe]

You.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah. Yeah. Huh? Yeah. Mm.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That was probably.

[Jess Hilarious]

He was at the girl family cookout. What? He was at her family cookout. I saw. I was like, I know. I seen a T shirt. It was a family reunion cookout. I said, damn, this ain't his family. Yeah. And this ain't just somebody you cheating with. You mighty comfortable with this bitch to be going to her family function. It's a family reunion. That means you introducing yourself. She's introducing you. You gotta be. That's crazy. So. Nah, I'm done with that. Nah, we done.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Wow.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What about friends? Where are you with friends into the relationship? How much do you tell your friends about your relationship?

[Jess Hilarious]

I don't tell my friends anything about my relationship now.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But you used to.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, of course. Yep, I did. But you know what? You know, you gotta be careful with doing that, because, say, if you. You know, when there's static in your relationship, you go tell them that, too. And now they looking at him like, huh? When y'all get back on good terms now, you gotta go tell them. No, we back on good terms. Nah, it's too much back and forth, so. No, I keep my love life very separate from my friends. I do. I tell them what they. What they need to know. Why I'm smiling? They know why I'm smiling, you know, they know. What's up, man?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Where are you on with this Neo? Neo got like three, four girlfriends.

[Jess Hilarious]

He do, he do. Listen, if it makes sense for them, it makes sense for them. I know. I put them in jets with the mess the other day, and I called three of the girls a clown. I was like, why you do that? She a clown. She a clown. She a clown. That's cause it was funny to me, you know, but, you know, it probably wasn't funny to them. It was. A couple of their friends was in the comments, like, why they gotta be clowns? If they like it, then they like, do you like it for your friend? Yeah, you know? And listen, if you're taking care of all three and four of them, if ain't no strain on that man's bank account. And they like it, right? Cool. That's what's up.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It takes a special type of person.

[Jess Hilarious]

It certainly does.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Everybody ain't cut out like that.

[Jess Hilarious]

And it take a special type of woman to.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm talking about the woman. I ain't talking about the guy.

[Jess Hilarious]

How the hell you gonna walk up and kiss me and then you kiss this person? And then I thought that only happened on Flavor of Love. Yeah, Like, I didn't know, like that. That's like a real thing. But polyamory is a real thing.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Who came up with that term?

[Jess Hilarious]

Somebody who got hurt by one person and was like, I'm gonna just deal with all y'all, you know, that's it. I honestly feel like that's where polyamory came from. Somebody that got hurt.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Jess Hilarious]

Like, I think all of these things are man made things. I don't think these are like. This wasn't a term, you know what I'm saying? This wasn't since the beginning of time, you know, this is just something that. This is a result of someone being hurt somewhere.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Do you want more kids?

[Jess Hilarious]

I do.

[Shannon Sharpe]

How many kids you want? Two more.

[Jess Hilarious]

I always wanted a big family. I'm not gonna lie. I always wanted to have at least like. And listen, I wanted to have like six boys, but, you know, you don't get to pick, you know, the gender of your kids. I mean, they're trying to do that, but you don't get to do that, you know, period, so. But now it changed. When I met Chris, I was like, I can see myself with a girl. Like, I want to have a little.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Girl and that'll be it.

[Jess Hilarious]

No, I actually want about two more kids, but I'm 33, right. Oh, you got plans. And I'm still in my career and I'm hitting my peak and I got work to do.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So you gonna push the kids down the road a little bit?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah. Yep. I think I have my next kid at 35. If it don't work out like that, maybe 36. But I know I ain't having no more at the 40.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What about marriage? You ready to get married now?

[Jess Hilarious]

Absolutely. Christopher proposed to me on Christmas.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ooh.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes, he did.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You cry?

[Jess Hilarious]

Hell yeah, I cried. I'm a big crybaby. I'm an Aquarius. So we're very. No, we not. We air. Yeah. You thought Aquarius. Cause aquarium is water. Yeah, but no air. We air. I don't know why we air either. I thought I was water. I ain't gonna lie. I thought I was water a couple years ago too. But I'm air, obviously, so. Yeah. Ye. Y'all need me to live.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Let me ask you this. The first child, you weren't this just hilarious. The second child, you a star. You got money. Money's coming in. How different is it raising the second child as opposed to raising the first child with no money? As opposed to having the money?

[Jess Hilarious]

Man, see, I only didn't. I didn't only not have money. I was living in the hood. I was like, lights was off. It was a lot of things I had to endure while raising my first child. My baby boy, he's seen me through a lot of things, but with Marley, my six month old, she. It is different. It's different. You know, I have money to move the way I want to move, to buy the things I want her to have. You know, her dad has the money to buy things. You know what I mean? We have a nanny, which we are totally blessed with because it's my fiance's mother. She moved home from Kuwait to help out with this baby. She knew that both of our careers demanded a lot of our time, and she came over to. She came home to help with that, you know, so we take care of her too, you know, and although it is different. And yes, money. We got money and everything. You need a lot of patience.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes, for sure.

[Jess Hilarious]

To deal with children. And. And it may look like money is all you need to have stability in raising children, but you need. You need to be mentally sane. You need to have it. You don't need to have it all together, but you need self care, self love. You need to be straight before you can care for somebody else. You know what I Mean, and with me having businesses and I'm not just Jess. Hilarious. I'm not just Jess with the mess. I got a lot going on, you know, I am absolutely grateful for my fiance and his mother, you know what I mean, for helping the village. It definitely takes a village. I ain't gonna lie. It was a little easier being broke. That's the easy part. It was a little easier being broke, but I wouldn't change anything.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You think your son notices the difference between then and now?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, yeah. Cause he's 12, you know, he's 12 now and he's. He remembers our lights laying off, you know, he remembers having to spend all these days on the porch, you know, playing with his cars until everybody else went in the house. And then we had to go in the house, you know, we went in the house. I was determined to not let nobody see me and my son going into a dark house. So we made it to everybody on the block, went in their house, and then we went in the house, we lit out candles. I went to steal all them candles from the dollar tree. Yup, yup. That was the perfect time to be a thief, you know, And I lit candles and we would play games and stuff like that. But yeah, he remembers all that. He knows that. And that's why he has the best of both worlds. He grew up like that and then now he gets to be, he gets to stream, he gets to have the latest, latest that. And while I still make him earn it because that's how my parents did, I don't just give him everything. He's not an entitled kid, you know, he still lives a great life. The great life. And he knows the best of both worlds, you know.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right. You had your first child at 20. This one's at what, 32?

[Jess Hilarious]

32, yes. That's a big, big gap. I don't know who the hell I thought I was starting over for real like that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

How different are you as a mom, 20 to the 32 year old man?

[Jess Hilarious]

Very, very different. My mom helped me raise my son. Between me and his dad, we were young, you know, and when I took off as just hilarious, I had to do a lot of traveling. I wasn't able to take Ashton everywhere with me. So my mom played a big role in raising my son with me, like helping me, you know, she beared that, you know, and now it is different. My son was living with my mother. And then fast forward now to me having a baby. I'm like, look, I want both of my children with me. It ain't gonna make sense. And it's not fair for me to have a new baby and my first son ain't even living with me because I'm doing this and I'm doing that. I'm doing. No, I want my children with me, you know? So my son is homeschooled now, and we live in Jersey because I do Burke Breakfast Club in New York, and I got both of my kids.

[Shannon Sharpe]

How did your mom take that, though?

[Jess Hilarious]

Because she did not like it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Cause that's how we was born. I was raised by my grandparents, and then when my grandfather died, my mom and my grandma said, no, they not going.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah. Oh, man. I know, right? So you was your grandmother's baby. And that's exactly how my son was. My mom was like, no, I don't think you should take him up to Jersey. I said, yeah, well, Ma, it's time for me to be both. To be a mom to both of my kids. I want to be with both children. Yeah. I don't want just my baby, I think.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Were you thinking that, hold on. He might look and say, hold on. Why did he get to go live with you and I didn't? Did that thought ever cross your mind?

[Jess Hilarious]

Hell, yeah. And it's so many nights, I am. I still feel guilty about it. Like, you know, and I didn't even. I feel guilty about it, and it didn't even happen where I made him stay with my mom, and then I'm raising Marlee. Like, no, I didn't want that to happen. And my son. There has been times where Ashton wanted to be with me and he couldn't. He wanted to travel with me and he couldn't. He wanted to be on a roll with me, and he couldn't. You know? And it's like, no, it's time for my baby to be with me. Both of them. I want. I want to wake up every day and be able to make them breakfast when I can. You know, sometimes it's me, sometimes it's Chris, sometimes it's the nanny. You know, sometimes it's my daughter's grandmother, but inclusive. I need that. That family, household that I grew up in. I want that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I think it's true, your pregnancy. You got an epidural, but it wasn't a doctor that delivered that gave you the epidural. It was a student, correct?

[Jess Hilarious]

Mm. When I had my son, yep.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Mm.

[Jess Hilarious]

They let a student do it, and it messed me up. It messed my back up. I was having back problems up until, like, five years. My son was five. You sue No, I did not. I didn't know. I didn't have any education on it. I wasn't informed. I wasn't. You know, I just knew I was in pain. I was in pain. And I was like, give me the drugs. Give me the epidural. And they came and they had a student perform it. And the girl was nervous. You can tell. I saw her hand shaking even before she went around me to do it. And I was like, oh, my God. And it's some of the most excruciating pain you can ever experience.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, that back ain't nothing to play with.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes. So I didn't do epidural. I had Marley natural. I. Yep. Slid her right on out these muscles. Get the. Yep.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right. Now, is it true that your. Your. Your. Your child's father. I mean, your. Your second child's father is. Is Hispanic?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes. He is black and Hispanic. Yep. He is Mexican black. And probably some other stuff too, because I'm telling you, I see more than just Mexican and black over there.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right. But let me ask you. So obviously the administration has this deportation and things going on right back. So how does he feel about that?

[Jess Hilarious]

Well, his mom is Mexican as hell.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay.

[Jess Hilarious]

So, you know, I'll. You know.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You make jokes, don't you?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, every day I come home, I knock on the door like, hey, it's ice. And she don't laugh, you know. Yeah. It's just to bring some comic relief. I just always want to be on our toes just in case they come past and it's really them.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, but the work life balance. Now, like you said, you got a lot of projects, not just the Breakfast Club, not just your stand up. You got a lot of other things going on.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And your mom and your fiance. How's this work life balance? Mom, fiance, businesswoman. How does Jess juggle all that?

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm still trying to, Shannon. I would be lying if I tried to. If I try to make up something, I don't have it all figured out. It's still a balance with me. I'm still trying to figure out what that formula is. So everybody can get the full time. So my kids can get full time. Mommy. So my work can get full time. Just hilarious. So Breakfast Club can get full time. Jessica Moore. Just hilarious. Just with the mess. Whatever. I'm still trying to do that. I gotta get up at 3.33-45 every morning, do makeup, you know what time.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You get to the set?

[Jess Hilarious]

5, 35, 45.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Cause you're going at 6.

[Jess Hilarious]

Going at 6 and we are done at 9. And then interviews after that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

When the Breakfast Club, when Angela Lee, Angela Yee left and they had all these other people coming in and they invited you to come in. Did you want the job? Did you think you were gonna get the job?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You wanted the job?

[Jess Hilarious]

I did want it and I knew I was gonna get it. I never even thought that I didn't have it. I always knew. And it wasn't because of Charlamagne. It wasn't because that I was so cool with Envy. It wasn't because, you know, it was the people. It was the way that I marketed Breakfast Club. That whole year, I had already treated it like it was my seat, the third seat. Like, I had already treated it like it was mine. Even times where I knew they didn't have a host for that week, it was just gonna be them too. I'm like, yo, can I come up? Like, ain't nobody up there. Even at times when it was like, other people up there. I'm like, yo, like, what y'all think of? I did. If I come up there too? Like, I don't wanna step on anybody's toes, but, like, this could be good. Like, let's go up there. Me and Claudia Jordan, we hosted together, you know, me and Kendra, she's also on radio, we did that together. Kendra G Media, we also hosted together, you know, so I treated it very much like my seat before it even became officiated.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You co hosted the Real. How did that help? Did that help you in the role that you got with the person?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes, I actually loved doing the Real. I loved all those ladies. I love them. You know what I mean? That was a really good. That was my first time ever doing daytime talk, you know, And I was like, oh, this is great. This is something that I really could see myself doing, you know? And, yeah, so that was good. That was a good segue into it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

When you got the job, it was announced that you got the job. Ojo and Al Nightcap was talking about it, and I said some comments and it went viral. And I said that, you know, hey, Ocho, she nice, she nice. And I think Charlamagne and Envy, they really tried to play it up. So if I offended you, I want to take the time out to say, I apologize. That was not my intent. But I was just like, yeah, she's a nice looking woman. She has a nice figure, Ocho, and so forth and so on. And, oh, he's 57 years old. I mean, he was this and that. And you know they tried to play it up.

[Jess Hilarious]

And so if I like I'm not in my 30s, grown ass woman.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But see and the thing is a lot of times people being uncomfortable only happens when the person that's saying something, the other person's not attracted to them or they feel some type of way because so that's what. And I didn't, I don't want, I don't, I didn't. And I don't ever want someone to feel uncomfortable with my comments.

[Jess Hilarious]

No.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So that's why I wanted to take the time to say, yeah, I apologize for what I said.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh no, it's okay. That means you got some good eyes on you. That's just all that means, you know, ain't nothing with it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What is this about? Sexy Red says she don't fool with.

[Jess Hilarious]

[Jess Hilarious]

Well, look, the thing with Sexyy Red, right? She was pregnant at the time. She was very hormonal when she came in there. I already seen like the standoffishness that she was giving out or whatever. She said, jess, I don't deal with you. Jess, I don't deal with you like that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Why she don't deal with you?

[Jess Hilarious]

And I asked her, I said why? I was trying to figure out for the first eight minutes of the damn interview what the hell. What? What? You know. Cause I'll say things about people and I forget, you know. Cause I've said so much, you know, I forget. So she couldn't even remember it, you know. And I'mma put that on her pregnancy because when I had pregnancy brain, I couldn't remember anything. So I'm like, all right, I get it now. Later on, if people watch the actual first 15 minutes or 10 minutes, not even, you know, into the interview, we made up. We were cool. I said some things about her. She didn't like it. And the reason why she didn't like it is because she did. Like just with the mess. She was like, and I like your videos too. I laugh at you. Everybody cool Jess with the mess until they end up in it, you know? And that's. And that's no shot to her because she was pregnant.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

And she was hormonal. And just think about it every day. You wake up, you see some negativity about you online and you pregnant. You know what I mean? And it's like. And I've only talked about things that she put out there. Her brand is not. It's not classy, you know, it's the total opposite.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right?

[Jess Hilarious]

And I don't agree with everything that she does. And I told her that there as well. I'm not gonna agree with everything you do. Sex. You know what I mean? But I have a right to an opinion like everybody else.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Jess Hilarious]

You know, What I mean, and that's just what it is, you know? So that's what it was. And she was cool. She ended up inviting me to the baby shower and everything, and she was cool after that. But, yeah, that's what it was.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You know, the Breakfast Club checks hit different. What you did. What's the first thing you bought with that money?

[Jess Hilarious]

That money is still in my account. That money is still. That. That's an account I don't touch.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Damn.

[Jess Hilarious]

Them checks hit like that, they wasn't even trying to give me the money they gave me. But they.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They had to come around.

[Jess Hilarious]

They had to come around. So I'm like, come on, like this. Fly up under y'all butt.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What about the purchase? You ain't. You ain't purchasing nothing like, okay, I'm gonna get me a Birkin bag, or I want to get this whip.

[Jess Hilarious]

I have six Birkins already, and that was before Breakfast Club.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Six?

[Jess Hilarious]

Mm. Yeah. Those are investment bags. Hmm. Snakeskin. Hello. Play. Play. Yeah. Them $70,000 bags, them $80,000 bags. Yeah, they them bags I plan to sell just in case, you know, they ain't all for wear.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What's the best gift you've ever received? I know somebody bought you something.

[Jess Hilarious]

My engagement ring is the best. Best gift that I ever received.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You got a ring? Somebody gave you that. You. Wait, that big one?

[Jess Hilarious]

The one that I'm not wearing?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

Huh. Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Why'd you give it back?

[Jess Hilarious]

Why the hell would I give it back?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I mean, somebody give you a ring, it's like an agreement that something's gonna. We're gonna consummate something else.

[Jess Hilarious]

No, that was just somebody just splurging. And I said, okay.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yup. And you can't unsplurge once you splurge, so that's on you.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay. What about the house, though?

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh. Oh, no, no, no. Somebody else lives in that house now.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I know you rented it out.

[Jess Hilarious]

Mm. I'm a landlord. Thank you. That's another check.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He did that for you. He did that for you.

[Jess Hilarious]

He sure did. He sure did.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You got mystical powers, Jeff.

[Jess Hilarious]

Hello. That's what I'm trying to tell you. That's what I'm trying to tell you, Chris.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You ain't even know you thought you got over. She got you, Chris.

[Jess Hilarious]

I sure did. I put it on him, and I ain't leaving him ever since. Look, Chris be like, shit, I got her. She thought she was just gonna keep me as a smash buddy. Hmm. That's about to be my wife now. And I love that. That's what's up.

[Shannon Sharpe]

[Jess Hilarious]

Man, it comes and it goes. And don't kill yourself trying to get it right. Please don't. Because, listen, I just had a crazy health scare, right? So I was eating lunch at a restaurant. I go home. Hour later, I am, like, retching, throwing up. And then I had to. I might start pooping real bad coming out of both ends real bad. This was happening for, like, two hours straight. Chris, like, no, we going to the emergency room now. I can't stay in hospital. So I'm like, yo, I think it's good. It's just a stomach bug. He like, yo, there's nothing else on your stomach. You're dehydrated, like, and your body is forcing something out. We need to go and see what it is. We go to the emergency room. They put an IV in me. They tell me they run tests, an mri, sonogram, everything. I have gallstones or whatever, right? And so they're like, we're gonna remove your gallbladder now. They tell you that that's a minor surgery, but it feels very major when.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You wake up feeling everything is minor on somebody else.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, that's why I'm like, damn. So look, this how little I know about gallbladders. I was like, all right, if y'all take this one, the other one gonna be good. Right. You only got one damn gallbladder. I said, oh, Lord dang.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So the thing is, you can function without it.

[Jess Hilarious]

You can function without it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Why they put it in there then?

[Jess Hilarious]

That's the thing. Why you born with it, stupidy. And I'm like, damn, but you gotta change the diet and everything with that, so. But I'm saying all this to say I had shows that I had to do and I had to cancel. Five shows. I had to cancel. Yeah, six. Six shows altogether. And I'm sitting there worrying and wondering, and I'm hitting my manager, and I'm hitting. I'm talking to Chris about him, like, yo, I'm losing money. And Chris is like, yo, that is everything that you can get back. You're sitting here complaining about everything that you can get back. Look at your account. You're good. Look at my account. We're good. Like, yo, you got your family. We have children. We. You're good. You still gonna be just hilarious after this. That's how you know, this is. You're. You're just one person.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

And sometimes you need to sit your down, too. So just take this as a sign. Like, you need to slow down. Cause I was doing a lot, and it is what it is. But I'm back. Good.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Now, you mentioned that the Breakfast Club is that they wanted to pay you X and you wanted Y and Z. Mm. What have you learned about negotiating your worth?

[Jess Hilarious]

That if you stand 10 toes down, you will get it. And even if you don't, even if it's not from them, even if you don't get it, you will get it. You will. Cause that's the point. Some people, if you let somebody pay you X, that's all you're gonna be worth to them in their eyes. And then where it travels. Well, if he got her for X, then I can get her for X.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Jess Hilarious]

And then now your ex. You know what I mean? That's it. Nah. But if you, from the jump, from the very beginning, demand what you're worth, that sets the tone for you, you know? And then that gives people the choice to say, whether I want to.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I want to pay for that or not.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yep. If I want to invest this in her or not. Fine. Cool. Yeah. Because you're going to see a return.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So what about us? When you do, do you share your salary? Do you share? I'm not saying direct numbers, but like with other women in the industry, when they, like, do stand up and you like, hey, Nope.

[Jess Hilarious]

No, I don't. I don't share because what I get, I earn. That I'm worth that. That may not be somebody else's worth. You know what I mean? It may not be. Somebody may go back and be like, well, Jess got this. So I'm supposed to be. Ah, no. But see, you not Jess, right? Mm. So that's how that happened.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Is it true you was robbed twice in Atlanta?

[Jess Hilarious]

Absolutely.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They robbed your house or they pulled up on you?

[Jess Hilarious]

My car.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You was jacked.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes. And the guy knew me from Wild N Out. He's like, oh, you. I know you got it. Yo. Come on, yo. You got it. And I said, all right, well, it's yours now. I said, just let me get my purse outside. Cause they. They wanted to take my car.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What type of whip would you have?

[Jess Hilarious]

It was an Expedition. Like a Ford Expedition. Big black truck. Yeah, right. And I'm like, all right, cool. I said, yo, just let me get my purse out. He's like, all right. Yeah, you got that? And he drove off with the car.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Did they find it?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes. It was actually Enterprises car. It wasn't mine, but they got it. They got it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What happened the second time?

[Jess Hilarious]

It was stripped, but they had it. Cause that's what they do. They'll steal the car and they'll strip it. Then they'll sell the parts real quick. But they found what was left of it, you know?

[Shannon Sharpe]

So what happened the second time?

[Jess Hilarious]

It was I was at a restaurant, right. With somebody, and they broke into his car and took my purse. My Chanel. Yeah. So I had to get everything back. That was the first time. The second time was my rental car that they took. Crazy. I had to get the hell out.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You had a friend that steal from you, too, though?

[Jess Hilarious]

I had a few people stole from me, but.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But you gave a hundred bands. Was it a guy or girl that stole the money, that stole from you that you ended up giving money to a girl?

[Jess Hilarious]

Mm. That was a girl.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Y'all was cool.

[Jess Hilarious]

How long, man, I've been knowing these people? So damn long. I've been knowing. Never say her name. But I knew her since I was nine or ten. What? Yeah, y'all. That's what I'm telling you.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So y'all came up in the struggle together, and she did that?

[Jess Hilarious]

Mm. When I was scamming, I was piece.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Break it off.

[Jess Hilarious]

You know what I mean? And you know, I. Yeah, yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You ain't put no paper on her?

[Jess Hilarious]

No, I put something else on her. Ain't no paper, Jess.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You bought that?

[T-Mobile Representative]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

Man, don't play with me like that. Man, Nah. Not what I'm already doing for you, man. And you start playing around with my money like that? Nah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

How do you determine. How does Jesse determines her circle?

[Jess Hilarious]

Hmm?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Can anybody else get in Jess circle?

[Jess Hilarious]

Hell, no. I ain't even got a circle. I got a triangle. I got a goddamn triangle. I done got rid of so many people in the last 60 days. Last 60 days. Days, yes. Mm. Cause my problem is, Shannon, I like to put people on.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right?

[Jess Hilarious]

And that's not even supposed to be a problem, but it is a problem because you can't put everybody on because everybody ain't got the mindset to take off. Yo, I can give you the wings, but I can't fly. You like, you gotta fly. You gotta do that. You know what I mean? Like, I, I. I try so hard to put all my people on, and that is the problem. And that's why it is no longer a circle. It is a triangle.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Do people look at your pocket? Do people count your pockets? Because they see you, man, you got you at the Breakfast Club, you doing all this. I know you got it. Come on, now.

[Jess Hilarious]

They try to. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I know you got it. I know you got it. Yeah. And I want to continue to have it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes. I'm gonna keep it, too.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, exactly. I won't have it if I keep on giving it away. So, you know. Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Girls trip. You do girl trips? Are you used to.

[Jess Hilarious]

I used to. Until I was the one paying for a lot of it. I'm like, God damn. That's why I got a triangle.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What's the max number of girls that should go on a girls trip? Is it 2, 3, 4, 5?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yo, to be honest with you, it should be. That should be very small. That should be fiber list a little. And that's still too much. That's still too much. Too many personalities, and everybody want to do different things.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Three.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, I would say three.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Damn.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yep. That would say three. Everybody got different. Everybody got different personalities. You got the broke friend, you know, and my brother has a joke about this. But the broke friend, who you gotta pay for. So she there on the scholarship.

Y'all, we gotta wake up at this. And we got the timeshare meeting, and we Got it. You know, and then, you know, you got the high friend, you know, that always want to smoke. You know, you gotta smoke all the time when you get there. And then you got the whole friend.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Jess Hilarious]

Who had a friend. My brother always say, like, you got. How do you got a friend in Belize? You know? You know, so it is like, you.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Got the two in the few. You got the one that's. That's not aesthetically pleasing.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yep.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And then why nobody want to talk to me?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah. And then she always want to be in the front of the pictures. Get in the back. You talking about you don't even have a vacation wig on, and you just. Oh, my God. This your work wig? Why did you wear this to Belize?

[Shannon Sharpe]

But, yeah, if you could go on a girl trip with four celebrities, who would you go with?

Mm. Oh, my God. Four celebrities. Hmm. That is so crazy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ugh. No, I don't want.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Who you going with?

[Jess Hilarious]

Beyonce? Too private? Oprah? Too rich and just. No. Too mighty? No, we got to let our head down on here. Oprah. I might go with Gayle, but I don't. Gayle seemed like she had more fun than Oprah. I don't know four celebrities.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yo, you ain't going with nobody.

[Jess Hilarious]

Nope. I. I will say Will Ferrell.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay.

[Jess Hilarious]

Funny.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

So, yeah, you gotta keep the Lady Gaga.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's my girl. That's my girl. And I just feel like we could shroom together.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Okay.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's it. And I know that is not ideal.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No.

[Jess Hilarious]

For. And people with people gonna be like, what, Will Ferrell, Lady Gaga? Yeah. I don't really want to hang out with too many people.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I don't know the hell y'all gonna be doing.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Let me ask you a question. What about the Hollywood parties? They've been. The Hollywood parties have been a lot in the news lately, and everybody seem to know. There are a lot of people that talk about they've been there. But, man, Shannon, that ain't go on. When I was there, maybe that was in another room. Maybe that was in the house at the back, but I don't know nothing about it.

[Jess Hilarious]

Well, that was the party from 8 to 12, and then when y'all left, then from 12 to 5, it was another party. You know, that happens.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Really?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah. It be all types of parties. You got the early party for the regulars.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

And then the late party for the Freaky Deakys.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, how do they know who the Freaky Deakys are?

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, you know. Oh, they the people. That's Pulling up when you pulling off. You know what I mean? That's how you. Oh, y'all here for the after party? Okay. Yep.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Do you ever worry about getting canceled?

[Jess Hilarious]

No, not now. At first. Yeah, when. When cancel culture was first like, developed or whatever. When. At first. But no, not now. Because what I find is when you get canceled, that's more attention on you. You know, they talk about you more. You stay in the blogs or whatever, you know, so. And then that's the opportunity to push whatever you got going on.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right?

[Jess Hilarious]

So, no, I don't care about that. I think I was the first person to be canceled, honestly. And I know Soulja Boy. Shut up. But I really feel like, yeah, I think I was the first influencer to ever be canceled for something.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Is there a joke you won't tell.

[Jess Hilarious]

Online? There is many jokes I won't tell right on the stage. Yeah. You know, who you paid to see. So you gonna get that sitting in my damn show.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Has anyone checked you for talking about them on Jess with the mess?

[Jess Hilarious]

No. Meek Mill got very upset with me. I roasted his real bad back when he couldn't dress. He probably still can't, but he's a reformed guy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

And I am reformed, too. But, no, I've never had any. I had people unfollow me. Nah. Ain't nobody ever checked me. The closest that anybody has ever gotten to checking me is Sexyy Red. That's when she came in there, and she just was like, I don't have. I don't rock with you like that, Jess. Like, yeah, that was the closest. And that didn't. That wasn't even checking me, but that's the closest somebody has ever come. Was that sexy lady.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You and Meek taking shots at each other on social media. Y'all cool? You good now?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, he cool. Yep. I seen him wallow. And Gilly had a. An event last year. It was like a festival. This was right after Cheese. Yeah. Got shot, and they had an event, and Ghillie Fest. That's what it was. Yeah, it was Gilly Fest. And I ran into Meek there and his braids. You know, they were old. And, you know, I did tell him that. I told. I said, now, come on, now. You got a lot more money than you had when the braids were old back then.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Jess Hilarious]

You know, he just laughed, and we. You know, we laughed about it, but, yeah, we made up. We're fine. I still joke about him, though. He. He's very bullyable.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

You know, he's very bulliable.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Let me ask you this. Five years from now, ten years from now, you sit back in that chair and we have this conversation where it's just hilarious.

[Jess Hilarious]

What is she doing 10 years from now? Because just coming up in the next year, it's a lot. But what I want is my own network. I do want my own network, or if it's not a network, it needs to be a channel where I can. Where content lives. Like, funny content, drama. Like, you know, I just have my own channel. You know, I want to give people a chance that. That are victims of gatekeeping. You know, I want to give other people like me a chance. Yo, it's a lot of talent out there. It's a lot of people who don't have platforms that are thriving and flourishing. And I see these people all the time. And I'm like, yo, you will be good in a sitcom, you will be good in a movie. You will be good, you know, having your own show, you know, so that's what I want to do. But, you know, I want to be a household name as an author. Ten years. Five, ten, you know, from now. Because I plan to. I'm working on a book now, so I plan to write more, you know, and I just. I just really want to make change in that, in that regard. Giving people a chance who are victims of gatekeeping. Yeah. Because it's a lot of them.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Anything you want to promote?

[Jess Hilarious]

Absolutely. So I'm about to launch Messy Paws. It's a doggy clothy airline. It's going to include toys, harnesses, leashes, doggy treats, and clothes, you know, for your dogs. I have a Frenchie. His name is Bane. He's four years old. And I'm a dog person anyway, so I love dogs. And that's where I actually thought of the idea. The idea actually came to me in the pandemic, but it was so many other things that I was doing in the pandemic, I never got to launch it. So Messy Paws will be available very, very soon. And then I am rebranding my Messy Vision line. I have an eyewear line. And I see you need some glasses. Cause I'm getting tired of you wearing them. Same ones, Shannon. So I'm gonna get.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, I got like. I got like six pair.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, you need 10. You need four pair of messy Visions. So we gonna drop the men's line soon. And, you know, I got. I'm sending some up here, and you gonna have to wear them for an episode or two. You had me taste the Shay, you know, and it was smooth. You know, and you gonna like these glasses, you know. So I'm doing the rebrand and I'm actually looking to collaborate with some influencers to push the brand. Cause glasses are not only, you know, for prescription, you know, for people to see. They're stylish and everything. And my glasses are blue light. They have the blue light feature because everybody be in their phones and a lot of people are messing up their eyes these days. So my glasses, they have the blue light. And then also shades are coming now. So we all. We have shades, but we have more styles that we are dropping soon. You know, more styles, more colors and everything like that. Also doctor who, my fitness apparel line, which I also launched in the pandemic when everybody couldn't afford the bbls, we had to go to the old faithful waist trainer, you know, and it's just fitness apparel, you know, compression and everything like that. And people actually buy them and wear them as regular outfits. Cause they're stylish and yet they insinuate your curves and everything like that. So I have that, the fitness apparel. And then also, yes, I'm really, really happy about my book. So it's a co parenting book.

[Shannon Sharpe]

When is the book coming out?

[Jess Hilarious]

It will be out 2020. What year we in?

[Shannon Sharpe]

We in five.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, yeah. So it. Cause child, I was ready to say four. Yeah, it's coming out 20. 25. Yes, it's 25 now. Yes, it is.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yep, it is. But we in the beginning. Shannon, stay with me. We going. The book is gon at the end of the year and it's a book about co parenting therapy. A lot of people want to know how me and my son's dad got to the place that we are now. And it's been a stigma on baby daddies and baby mamas or whatever. Right. Especially in our community. Right. It's very unusual to see a baby mom and a baby daddy get along. It's like. Nah. Like it can be a healthy environment, you know, because it's about the kids, right? And you just. It's just about showing up being the best versions of yourself, the best version of yourself for your child. So. And it's in story form. I tell the story from the beginning of me and Rome to how we ended up where we are now and raising our son. So that's really, really good. That's gonna be a really good thing. Because we need it definitely in our culture. We definitely need this book. And it's the white people that can. That can thrive from it too. Because I, you Know, I'm from Baltimore City. The white people just like the black people down South Baltimore, child. They be beefing with the baby daddies and stuff. You ever been to Baltimore?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I used to play for the Ravens.

[Jess Hilarious]

No, no. Have you been to Baltimore? I ain't saying no.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, not.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right, then. I know you used to play for the damn Ravens, but playing for the Ravens ain't like being involved.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You like 10.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, absolutely. But I know that because my dad is a fan of yours. I know. So. But you ain't been to South Baltimore down Morrow street, where all the crab spots at and all of that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, I mean, we used to walk to the stadium, so that's about it. On the pier where the ESPN zone used to be.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. Yeah. So no, you haven't been to Baltimore, so that's what that is. But, yes, so that's what I got going on. I'm very, very happy. And then I'm also dropping my new podcast, Reckless Discussions. It's also. It's a continuation of my talk show that I used to have, Reckless Discussions. It still lives on YouTube, on my channel, and it just basically hits on uncomfortable conversations. Basically, like things that people don't talk about, but they want to.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Jess Hilarious]

And so we're going to be relaunching that as well. But that's going to be a podcast.

[Shannon Sharpe]

[Jess Hilarious]

I think actually meeting someone who was not vaccinated and now has a lifelong struggle with a childhood disease. Really cemented for me that it's super important that we as parents continue to vaccinate our children.
