Ms. Pat
Vagina hair that don't lay down.
Ginger
Okay.
Ms. Pat
This dude got his shoes clean. White dude have the nastiest shoes.
Ginger
Okay.
Ms. Pat
What they wear? This man's socks match. Only a black woman can put that sweat in a white. We clean y' all the up. I'm telling you. I can tell. I said. I said dress myself. No, you don't.
Ginger
You don't dress yourself.
Ms. Pat
That's that black vagina, brother. Cause she was like, if you don't take out them ragged ass new b. That's what she would say. But his wife just let him come out. How? Any kind.

Sponsor Voice (Total Wireless)

Rory
Knocked the polo into me in 08.
Ms. Pat
It makes you think when you go in the closet, you be like, I can't do that. I can't do that wax shit. Because one thing about white people is they wear nasty shoes. They don't care. Black people don't.
Rory
You.
Ms. Pat
You only way you gonna kill somebody with some nasty shoes. And they black. They ain't got no money. I mean, or they just homeless, but black people. You can see a man in a wheelchair, handicapped, been shot and can't move his feet. But his shoes is fresh as hell.
Rory
Yeah.
Ms. Pat
Am I lying?
Ginger
That's a fact.
Ms. Pat
So we keep clean sh. When that your shoes were clean, I said, yeah.
Rory
No wonder he be burning everybody.
Ginger
He got some black pussy.
Rory
Not to be gay, but it was. It was black men. When I was a kid, I knew if I walked out of the house, I wasn't making it to the end of the block unless we roll.
Ms. Pat
You had a black stepdaddy?
Rory
I did not.
Ginger
I'm sorry.
Ms. Pat
I'm asking too many. I thought he beat the black gazillion. I'm sorry, baby.
Rory
To my mother.
Ms. Pat
Me too, sir. I didn't know. I love you too. Oh, I done came in and started some bullshit. So you grew up in a black neighborhood?
Rory
It was mixed, but yeah, it Was a lot of black women.
Ms. Pat
Yeah, you do that, they gonna wear your ass out.
Rory
Yeah, I was trying to get to the industry where the black women were, where I could impress them, but it was mainly not to get clowned. The moment I stepped out, the. Especially when you had something fresh on. You thought she was killing it. Yeah. Let me turn around.
Ms. Pat
Did you wear fubu?
Rory
Of course.
Ms. Pat
Oh. Oh.
Rory
We were more of a South Pole family.
Ginger
He's deep into the culture, so, you.
Ms. Pat
Know, that was for us. By us.
Rory
What the fuck? I thought that was subjected.
Ms. Pat
It was not suggested. Whatever the word you just said, it was for us. By us. The hell are you doing with it now?
Ginger
Ms. Pat? We was talking. You said you don't, do you. You haven't really focused on your podcast.
Ms. Pat
No. Well, I do it every week and.
Ginger
But you're so busy now.
Ms. Pat
I'm busy.
Ginger
You all getting that money, Ms. Pat?
Ms. Pat
Well, I try to get all the money. I do, but TV came along and, you know, the tours and stuff picked up, so I just didn't have time. And plus, my co hosts are in Indiana, and so I moved to Atlant back to Atlanta, where I was from. So it just put a big gap in there, and now it ain't as big as it used to be, but I do it. I always done it just for the fans. I wanna stop it, but my fans like it.
Ginger
Yeah, but you got your podcast. Is that could be like your. You know, where you really get your shit off?
Ms. Pat
I do get my shit off.
Ginger
Yeah. Cause I. Oh, no, you talk shit. I know that, but I'm just saying, like, the podcast. Cause TV is. They kind of gotta.
Ms. Pat
Yeah, it's very.
Ginger
A little strict. It's a little. Mindy, they love Ms. Pat, but they gotta keep Ms. Pat in this because it's like, all right, we can't go too crazy, Ms. Pat. We got to keep it. This is television, the podcast. You can just.
Ms. Pat
I can be free. Yes, I can. You know, so you get a little pushback on some of the things I want to do on a Ms. Pat show, on Ms. Pat setters it. But I'm free on the podcast, and that's why I keep it, and that's why I still tour. You notice a lot of comedians who get TV shows, they stop touring.
Ginger
Yeah.
Ms. Pat
You know, because the money can be good, especially if you're on network tv. I never stop touring because I don't ever want to depend on somebody to feed my family. You can cut the lights off at the miss Pat show or that Court show at any time. I got to cut the lights off on this tour. I got to cut the lights off on the podcast. So it's what. I like being in control of myself. I don't ever want to have to go beg anybody to do nothing. Oh, please don't cancel the show. Cancel the show. It's your show, right?
Rory
Yeah.
Ms. Pat
You know I'm there. Cause you paying me, right? If you stop paying me, I ain't gonna come. So. And that's why I continue to tour, because I like. I just. I'm a person. Like, I don't like to be led. I like to lead. Right.
Rory
What's. What's. Some of the wildest bits or premises that they said no to for the misspach show that they was in the writers room or execs was like, well, we did a.
Ms. Pat
We did a race episode about how the younger generation find everything to be racist. Offensive. And back in the day, you know, people said stuff and it just went on about it. Your grandmama and your mom and daddy. So the word Jap Slap Betty was. You ever heard the word Jack slap? Yeah. Well, I didn't know that was a racist term until my husband told me because I grew up with a black mama. Every day, she was like, I jab slapped shit out you. You know, we didn't know that.
Rory
You know what? You know, my dad used to call pop quizzes.
Ms. Pat
What?
Rory
A Jap test.
Sponsor Voice (Mint Mobile / Odoo)
Damn.
Ms. Pat
But I didn't know that was a racist term, so I wanted to put it over in the show, and they was like, no, because at the time, people was attacking. Attacking Asian people. But I wanted to show I wanted to put that word out there because I wanted people to know that it was. It was a derogatory wor. What was crazy? The younger generation had never heard of the word. I'm like, we gotta put Jap slay. What the hell is Jap slap? And the people at BET plus at the time was around my age, and they was like, you can't put it in. But they let me put in what they let me put in chink. They let me use chink.
Ginger
No way.
Ms. Pat
That's worse. And we was trying to tell them it's worse.
Ginger
They let you use chink, but not Jap slap.
Ms. Pat
Yes.
Rory
They had Shane Gillis on SNL for 24 hours, and then they went through his podcast when he used chink and fired him right away.
Ginger
Yeah. How is that even possible? That's crazy.
Ms. Pat
Yeah.
Ginger
Let you get that off.
Ms. Pat
But. But we didn't use it we was just trying to say the message we were saying is words that what the parents used to say, we can't say anymore. And a lot of times parents don't know. Times have changed.
Ginger
Yeah, right.
Ms. Pat
So you know, you might hear somebody say, call somebody, you know, the F word for a gay person. When we said that back in the day, you can't say that today.
Ginger
Right.
Ms. Pat
So that's what the whole episode was about.
Ginger
How much of the writing do you do on the show?
Ms. Pat
I don't really. I do the ideals, so I do the stories for my life and Jordan E. Cooper take it to the right room. And I don't really write. I go in and tell stories and then they create it. I'm not a. I guess you can say I'm a creator. I don't really put pen to paper. I can stand over your shoulder and tell you what I see or tell you what's in my head. But I don't spell good enough to be writing shit. Yeah, I ain't gonna be great. But I tell you a good story.
Sponsor Voice (Degree Cool Rush)
Right?
Ms. Pat
That's what I do.
Rory
Is there a story from Atlanta that you couldn't have put in the show that you knew out the gate after the Jap slap shit that you was like, you know, I'm gonna keep this story for myself and I won't even.
Ginger
Jap slap didn't work this story well.
Ms. Pat
Jeff's. Well, that didn't get in. But like I said, the other word did get in. No, because they pretty much. The show is based off my real life. So 90% of that show is real.
Ginger
Okay.
Ms. Pat
It's things that happen to me or things that I know people been through. So they pretty much let us do anything. I did an abortion episode where a middle aged woman had an abortion without her husband consent because I wanted to tell the world it was my choice, okay? It's my body. Just because I'm married to you doesn't mean you have control over my body. Which, which. And then, you know, I had a little pushback from the network. They said, well, who do that? I said, I know my friend did it. She didn't even tell her husband she was pregnant. Who want to have a baby in 40 years old, right? And then you a 90 year old mama. Don't nobody want that.
Rory
I want to see the follow up episode with the 90 year old mother. That's the episode that I, that I want to see.
Ms. Pat
You know, they have a few pushback, but you know, thank God this show is based off of me. So they do allow a lot of things. And I think I've set a tone of the type of comedian I am. I don't hold back. I like to push the envelope. I like to go there. I like to say things other people thinking about saying but too scared to say it.
Ginger
Right.
Ms. Pat
So, you know, I think when people come to work with me, they know that they're gonna get the real right. I don't. I don't. I. I hate people who talk like, oh, my God, girl, you talking. Breathe. Talk to me like you talk to your creditor.
Ginger
So, like, your creditors.
Ms. Pat
Yes, if you don't talk to your creditors. Holding your breath. Don't talk to me. Holding your breath. Right.
Ginger
That's a fact. What was some of your. Your comedic inspirations for your style of comedy? Who are some of the comedy.
Ms. Pat
Richard Pryor, Bernie Mac, Red Fox. Red Fox, Yes. Though I was a big. When I first started doing comedy, everybody was like, girl, you got stories like Richard Pryor. So I didn't know Richard Pryor was a comedian. I thought he was just an actor because I seen him on tv. So I started to research him and buy his albums and listen to them. And he told a lot of stories about growing up in a brothel. And I grew up in a looker house, a bootleg house. So we kind of had similar lives, and we saw the same things in those types of houses. And so I just said. I said, you know what? I think I'm a storyteller. So that's what I tell. I tell a lot of crazy stories on. On stage.
Ginger
Well, Richard Pryor is one of the greatest.
Ms. Pat
He is one of the greatest.
Ginger
For me, he's probably the greatest comedian.
Ms. Pat
I would say he is the greatest comedian.
Rory
Seeing. Seeing what you saw in Atlanta growing up. What's the difference between that Atlanta and this Atlanta right now?
Ms. Pat
That Atlanta. This Atlanta? Yeah, it's a lot of gay people.
Rory
Yeah, yeah.
Ms. Pat
They everywhere. My daughter.
Ginger
Your daughter's gay as hell.
Rory
She's not, like. It's not questionable.
Ginger
Yeah, no, she's, like, all the way gay.
Ms. Pat
Yeah, she's. But she's a girl.
Ginger
But is she. Is she, like, masculine?
Ms. Pat
No, she's the girl.
Ginger
Okay. She's.
Ms. Pat
But her girlfriend look like you.
Ginger
Okay. All right.
Ms. Pat
Yeah. All right.
Rory
She has to look out for Young Ma when she's in New York. Type. Type.
Ms. Pat
Yeah. My daughter love Young Ma.
Ginger
Oh, she do mma. Mma. Young Ma.
Ms. Pat
Yeah, that. That girl. She love that girl.
Rory
Feminine lesbians. Young Ma is like. They Brad P. Telling you, like, yeah.
Ms. Pat

Rory

Ms. Pat
Like, she. I'm like, she look like the rest of you. Is it because she a rapper?
Ginger
Yeah.
Rory
I have questions with this. How do you vet like, the. That your daughter brings?
Ms. Pat
That's a. Yeah, that's like.
Ginger
I mean, masculine lesbian.
Ms. Pat
No.
Ginger
That'S different than.
Rory

Ginger
No, masculine presenting.
Ms. Pat

Rory
Okay.
Ms. Pat

Rory

Ms. Pat
My hair stylist is gay.
Ginger
Josh.
Ms. Pat
I thought that my hairstyle. Peach.
Ginger
Josh.
Ms. Pat
Wait a minute. I thought that was my hair stylist. So I was like, what's the. I didn't know that. What you. He gave. Like, you just.
Ginger
Josh said, I am not gay.
Ms. Pat
I'm so sorry, Josh. I don't have on my glasses. I mean, he likes his own.
Ginger
He's funny as fuck, man.
Rory
All right, so when I was growing up, a was a masculine, forward facing lesbian.
Ms. Pat
Like, she would dress like us because.
Rory
She was facing me forward.
Ms. Pat
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Rory
I was looking at her face.
Ms. Pat
You backwards. The fuck is a forward facing. What's a forward facing?
Rory
Like, that's how you present yourself, like, as a masculine lesbian is what I always thought it was.
Ms. Pat
Yeah.
Rory
So I was right with the definition. So you're saying that's what your daughter likes?
Ms. Pat
Yeah, my daughter likes. Yeah.
Rory
So how do you vet. Would you vet that? The same way you would if a man came in the house.
Ms. Pat
I don't be vetting them. She don't keep them long enough. She switched tweet the word. Oh, st.
Rory
Please take it out.
Ginger
Stud, though.
Rory
Just believe it.
Ms. Pat
No, not studs.
Ginger
Okay?
Ms. Pat
The term is stud. Right?
Rory
Okay, Just believe it.
Ms. Pat
So I thought it was derogatory. So how do you do this again?
Rory
How so? So when the stud comes in the house, how do you vet the stud? Is it the same way that you would vet maybe a man coming in the house? Well, just based off, like, how they.
Ms. Pat
We have rules. Because at first I was meet the girls, and my daughter was just going through them. If I don't want to meet your girl and she got. She got to be in your life at least five years before I even lock her phone number in my phone. So this girl just got to the fifth Thanksgiving last year. So now I talk to her.
Ginger
Because now you talk to her.
Ms. Pat
Yeah, because in the gay community, they turn over. They turn over.
Rory
They move in right away.
Ms. Pat
They'll turn over a girlfriend, and then that girl will be with the other girl and all of them go on vacation together. It's the weirdest thing. So I just got tired of my daughter bringing all these girls around, and I just. I didn't deal with it.
Rory
Third Thanksgiving. How did you feel the third.
Ms. Pat
You can't come to my house until you. We have a rule. You cannot meet me until you five years in. Oh, I won't. I. I don't want to deal with you until we five years in.
Rory
Okay.
Ms. Pat
If I see you out, I'm. You can't go on vacation with us. I don't talk to you. I say hey and bye. All of that because my daughter ain't going to be with him long.
Ginger
Yeah.
Ms. Pat
My. My daughter treat lesbian. Lesbianism like a buffet.
Ginger
Yeah.
Ms. Pat
She's just eating them.
Ginger
Yeah.
Rory
It'S free. I mean, get my money's worth.
Ginger
Ms. Pat, ever seen a stud funeral? Like a stud in the casket?
Ms. Pat
What the hell you.
Ginger
I said that. I said that like a year ago. I've never seen a stud in the casket. That's what I'm. I think they turn the stone and even put them on top of the churches. I don't. I've never seen a stud in the casket. But a friend of mine told me that as a father owns a funeral home, and most of the time, the family will dress them female presenting in the casket.
Ms. Pat
Ooh.
Sponsor Voice (Total Wireless)
I think that's.
Rory
That's what I was.
Ginger
That's what. That's. That's what I said. I said, I don't know if they're happy about that, but I've never seen a stud funeral.
Sponsor Voice (Greenlight)
Funeral.
Ms. Pat
You know, come to think of, I ain't never seen no stud funeries.
Ginger
I'm trying to tell they be turning.
Ms. Pat
Them back against their will. I'mma tell my daughter she better get her will together.
Rory
When he brought up this theory, I wanted to argue with him, but then I started thinking. I've never seen one either.
Ginger
I've never seen a stud in the casket.
Rory
I've seen a stud at prom in the casket.
Ginger
Have I ever seen a gay man in the casket? Yes.
Ms. Pat
Do they turn them back or they turn them over?
Rory
They lay like this in the cat.
Ginger
Oh, my God.
Ms. Pat
We better not get in trouble.
Ginger
Oh, my God. Ms. Pat, your special on Netflix. Y' all want to hear something crazy? Even though we heard some crazy shit, Talk to us about doing a Netflix special. How big was that for you?
Ms. Pat
That was big. That was my first special. I'm getting ready to shoot my second special on my own in February. But, yeah, it was really big. And I was finally happy. Happy that, you know, Netflix acknowledged me to give me a special. So I was happy and it would mean a lot because one decide produced it and what's his name, the director? Robert Townsend.
Ginger
The Robert Townsend.
Ms. Pat
Oh, Lord, I love me some Robert Townsend.
Ginger
Hollywood Shuffle.
Ms. Pat
Hollywood Shuffle. Directed it.
Ginger
Legendary.
Ms. Pat
Yes, yes, yes. He directed it.
Ginger
Shout out to Robert. That's one of. That's one of the. For me, I'm a little older than these guys, but for me, Robert Townsend, Keenan, Ivy, Waynes, those were the ones that I kind of found like comedy and television when I was a kid. Those are the two guys that I looked at all the time and watched whatever it was. A movie, obviously In Living Color to me is one of the greatest sitcom shows we ever had. But that's legendary that Robert Townsend directed at. A few years ago, another legendary comedian, Ms. Monique, she came out and had some things to say about the pay that female comedians were receiving versus some of the male comedians. When it came to Netflix and things like that and their stand up specials. How do you feel about that and how do you feel about the landscape of, like, the disparity, the differences between the female comedians versus some of the male comedians? Where you may be funnier than a lot of the male comedians, but the.
Ms. Pat
Ain'T never equal in this country, no matter what job you have, it's either gonna be a man make more than a woman or white people make more than black people. So it's never gonna be equal. Equal. You don't play. Don't. Don't you say you guys found out about that? Yeah. Oh, he was keeping that a secret. Why you think they trying to get rid of dei? So, I mean, I understood her argument and in some places I agree with her. But, you know, that was her fight. That was at the time. That wasn't happening to me. But I'm glad she spoke up about it because this is an industry. If you let it walk over you, it would truly walk over you. You know, people telling Monique, oh, you shouldn't be talking about this. I say, if you feel like you're not being treated right, then speak up. Because if you don't speak up, you're gonna forever get stepped on. That wasn't my fight. I haven't experienced that as far as I can think. Because if you come to me with a price, I'm gonna come back to you and say, ask for this and keep asking for this. And I'm at a position now where, and I'm blessed, where I can say, no, I don't want to do that.
Ginger
Right.
Ms. Pat
It ain't about the money. I don't want to do that. And I say that all the time.
Ginger
Yeah.
Rory
I just want to make clear that's not Pam, right?
Ms. Pat
No, that's not.
Ginger
That's not fair.
Rory
Thank God. Like, it just took me a second. We were saying all that. She was on the phone. She hasn't been answering. She just want to make sure that that wasn't Pam for everything that we just said. I thought she was emailing some HR company. She was quiet in the corner. I just want to make sure that was not Pam.
Ginger
No, that's not.
Rory
And we said that behind her back. Cuz I know she's not going to listen.
Ms. Pat
Yes, she going to listen. Pam is my PR person. That's my assistant.
Rory
Thank God. With Ms. Pat settles it. That's out now when this comes out, right?
Ginger
Yep.
Rory
What was your favorite case? Just like as a teaser, obviously you have to give away everything. What was your favorite case? Going into the season, I think. Did you even settle it?
Ms. Pat
I think it was my kids. My kids ended up on there. Yes.
Rory
With the studs.
Ms. Pat
No, no, no, no. It's my gay daughter and my. My fat son. And so my gay daughter took my son to the script club and he didn't have no money, so she gave him money to throw at the scrippers. And she wanted her money back. 500. And he never paid it back, which had happened for real. And they had been arguing about this money for over a year and a case fell out. And it was like, do you have a case? And they told him, and they didn't even tell me they was gonna be on the show. And they walk in and I'm thinking like, both of y' all owe me money. What the hell I'm gonna look like? Give you some money.
Sponsor Voice (Degree Cool Rush)
Right?
Ms. Pat
And. Cause I had just paid for my daughter teeth to get done and she didn't pay me for that. And I'm always helping my son out, so I just threw the case. Out. Out.
Ginger
That's a good mom right there.
Ms. Pat
Yeah.
Rory
No, but I would make the case with the like, all right, you got the daughter the teeth. Give me some lipo.

Rory
The gays infiltrated Atlanta. That was the immigration.
Ms. Pat
The gays, they came from Atlanta. They run Atlanta. You can't do nothing in Atlanta without the gays. I love the gay. You know what I love about a gay man? Because they do their makeup better than women do. They do. They do everything a woman supposed to do, but they do it perfect.
Ginger
Why you think that is?
Ms. Pat
I. I guess they have more time to practice. I don't know. But you go to those drag shows, you be like, damn, that look good. They have belayed they lashes. They know everything. They the ones started the whole corset thing. Bring your waist in, you know, lift your boobs up high. They know pull, you know, take the tape and pull your eyes back so you can look 20 years younger. All of that came from that community. I just. I love gay men. Who is into makeup. Can't nobody beat your face like a gay man, Mal.

I can laugh about it.
Ms. Pat
Do that affect your relationships?
Rory
Yeah, probably.
Ms. Pat
Do you ever do. Do you ever. In a sexual move and then somehow that older lady titty popping your head and you can't finish sucking the titty?
Rory
Maybe it wasn't an attractive titty. For the flashes that I have during the entire thing.
Ms. Pat
It wasn't a lot.
Rory
I tried to block out a lot of the shit.
Ms. Pat
Was it long titty?
Rory
They were.
Ms. Pat
How old was she?
Rory
Oh, I was like nine. I would guess if her titty was.
Ms. Pat
Long, she had to be in her 40s.
Rory
40S for sure.
Ms. Pat
Yeah, cuz 30 titty still hold up.
Rory
I mean, then there was one time with a babysitter, but like I was an active participant. It would be technically molestation, but I was fine with it.
Ms. Pat
The babysitter was white?
Rory
Yes, she was white. Y family member number two. But not like a direction.
Ms. Pat
You your cousin?
Rory
No, I've not a cousin.
Ms. Pat
You said it was a family member.
Rory
But like, you know, like family. Like neighborhood family. Not like. Not blood friend of the family from Queens.
Ms. Pat
Oh, I didn't know they get down like that up here.
Rory
Oh, for sure.
Ms. Pat
That sounds like some Alabama. You get it? I'm sorry. Maybe I thought it was Alabama. Cause you white. I had no idea it was uphill. I'm sorry.
Ginger
She think Rory is like redneck white. This nigga's from New York. He's from the hood.
Ms. Pat
Like he from.
Rory
You know.
Ms. Pat
He talk about cousins and long titties and PR pal, you know, I'm think.
Rory
Not long titties and. And family friends.
Ms. Pat
No, I'm just saying, I just. It's. It sounded like the South.
Rory
No, not at all. But somebody we consider like family friend type. But she. She was.
Ms. Pat
Have you seen her?
Rory
No, I haven't seen her in a long, long time.
Ms. Pat
Okay.
Rory
I didn't even consider that me losing my virginity. Cause I considered me losing my virginity when I was 14. Cause I was probably who you lost it with.
Ms. Pat
No wonder you like black pussy so much. White pussy. They tucked. You know what?
Rory
I've never even gone down that path now.
Ms. Pat
Yeah, well, they all forced it on you, so it turned you off.
Rory
And now that I think about it, like when I was growing up, the nicest people to me were black women. This is actually more therapy than I think I've ever gotten. I've never even put those two and two together.
Ms. Pat
You can write me a check. You keep on some of her goods.
Ginger
Cut this, Ms. P. Settles it.
Ms. Pat
There you go.
Rory
Oh, I never even put two and two together there.
Ms. Pat
Yeah. So that's probably why you attracted to black people and black women. Because every time there was black people.
Rory
Around when I was.
Ms. Pat
I mean, you didn't tell them about it.
Rory
I went to my man Alex was like, yo, you know what the just happened?
Ms. Pat
Well, did they. But black people didn't molest you.
Rory
No, I was never molested by black.
Ms. Pat
I think mentally wild sentence to say.
Rory
This is a crazy sentence to say. No, black person never molested me.
Ms. Pat
So that's why you. That's why you like black women, because white women threw it on you. So you were like. You took it easy.
Rory
Yeah.
Ms. Pat
They took your dick, so you don't want no part of them.
Rory
Yeah, I never even put.
Ginger
It's funny, but she makes a good point.
Sponsor Voice (Mint Mobile / Odoo)
Yeah.
Rory
I'm not even joking around. That might be the most fair point.
Sponsor Voice (Degree Cool Rush)
Yeah.
Ginger
I never thought about it.
Rory
Maybe they was right. I do have a fetish, maybe.
Ms. Pat
A fetish with what?
Rory
That's always been a weird joke on Twitter, which I don't.
Ginger
They say that he fetishizes black women.
Rory
But every time I. I brought up how black women took care of me as a kid, like, it's always. It's never been a sexual.
Ms. Pat
What you mean they took care of you? You had a nanny?
Rory
No, I've lived. Lived with a Jamaican family when I was homeless. Like.

Yeah, I think. I think that is something that I think protected me growing up. Is that having a strong black mom? Yeah, definitely.
Rory
Because I'm saying, because my mother was white. That's why I was like, you've met my mother. I love your mother.
Ginger
Great woman. I'm not trying to.
Ms. Pat
Well, let me say this. We're culturally different. So when you're white, I think it's more free, you know, like, you don't have to have that talk. Nobody told you, don't you go out that motherfucking door. When you go out that door, you make black kids go out the door. And they say, make sure your drawers are clean in case you get hit by a car. We always were told that. I don't know why clean underwear is important. If a nigga on drug you 30.
Ginger
Miles down the street, never mind, my leg is shattered.
Rory
But like, my girlfriend shows up, these nasty ass tr.
Ms. Pat
With blacked off black parents always had to have a conversation with their child. And white parents have never had to have those conversations with the police, with. With, don't do this. Don't do this. Look over your shoulder, pay attention. So it's just different. It doesn't make your mama weak. It's just the things that you. That. That y' all had to endure.
Rory
That.
Ms. Pat
That we had to endure, that y' all didn't have to endure. So your life was a little more like a flower. Oh, do what I want to do. Well, heels. Well, his mom said, let me talk to you, little John. You take your ass out, you look both way. Anybody touch your drawers, you tell me. Cause I'm a killer for sucking on you. So that's what a black parents tell me. Anybody touch you, I kill them.
Ginger
Yeah.
Ms. Pat
And I. When I first got married to my husband, I used to tell my daughter, because that's just not his daddy. I said, let me tell you something. If this man ever touched you, I want y' all to know that I would love. I love y' all way more than I love him. I kill his ass because I had been molested. And every day I gave my kids a child molestation story on the way to school. I said, if he touch you, I will kill him. Till finally, my daughter was in eighth grade. She said, mom, Mama, the man ain't gonna touch me. It's been five years, and I stopped asking, But I had to let her know. Yeah, you know, anybody touch you, especially I don't move this man into. Moved us into the house with this man. I know him, but you don't really never know a person.
Sponsor Voice (PBS)
Yeah.
Ms. Pat
So that's the talk I had to have with my kid and my son, me, because people digging booties, so I had to make sure nobody was gonna be digging in my sons.
Ginger
Yeah. That is something that I like getting older, having talks with women. Like, I never realized how many women actually experienced that in. In their home.
Ms. Pat
Yes.
Rory
And I don't think that's a racial thing at all. I think that's across the board.
Ms. Pat
Well, you know, what I'm saying is, I think. I think with black families, we have the conversation more where, you know, we used to sit the kids down and say whatever. Where, you know, a lot of times with white people, y' all act like it don't exist till it exists.
Rory
Yeah. I mean, I can only speak for. For my family. And the more I learned, once I started having those conversations with my mom and what she went through, I was like, we allowed her.
Ms. Pat
Him around. Yes.
Rory
So I see what you said. I'm not gonna speak. I'm not speaking for all whites, but I can speak for my family in that regard. Once I learn more, I was like, why you let him? Well, see, he was there every holiday, and he did that.
Ms. Pat
But the thing with. Okay, so when you have a child molester in the family and your uncle is a child moles, they say, so the black family tell you, look here, your uncle be touching kids. So don't go over there with that. Okay. Stay away from Uncle John or uncle. Whatever we tell, we told that before we go to the barbecue. Can he come to the barbecue? Yes, but everybody gonna be watching his ass. Everybody know what he do. And we gonna tell them, kid, if he touch you, we gonna kill him. So all the kids know he. He child molester. Chester. Chester molester.
Rory
Chester Molester.
Ms. Pat
So we stayed away from.
Rory
We put that on a house on our block. I have no idea to this Day. If it was. He never touched anybody in the neighborhood. We it was just the house that was. And everyone would say, chest of molester lives there.
Ms. Pat
Yeah, yeah.
Rory
I don't know. It was just like a kid thing.
Ginger
That would definitely.
Rory
Where's Chester Molester? I didn't know that was a universal thing.
Ginger
Yeah.
Ms. Pat
Yes, definitely. So that I think that's the culture different is that African black people say it out loud in other cultures.
Rory
Either way, everybody's getting touched. So I mean, I think.
Ms. Pat
I don't know if the verbal conversation.
Rory
We'Re having is not.
Ms. Pat
I think every molestation is in every race. Like, I was just talking about that movie on. What's the name of that movie? Abducted in Plain Sight. You ever seen that? Yeah, that was the craziest. That man slept with the whole family and kept kidnapping the daughter. You couldn't have that chance. In no black household he have been sooner. Soon as he sucked the daddy penis, everybody would have killed him. You don't get those kind of chances. Yeah, that was the crazy.
Rory
Outside of that being the sickest part of the entire premise, the fact that homie got on that camera and was like, he sucked my dick too. That was like the last episode.
Ms. Pat
I was like, wait, you've been on this whole series the whole time?
Rory
It was like, listen, I, I.
Ms. Pat
I was sitting there watching that his R.
Rory
Is that good on me too? Like I said, how I, I couldn't resist.
Ms. Pat
Is everybody this stupid? In rural towns, this got to be the craziest ever.
Ginger
Crazy.
Ms. Pat
But those are the things that even though those neighbors knew it or they, or they. Some of the neighbors suspected it. Nobody said it out loud. Nobody went over there and had a talk with that family in all neighborhoods. They would have knocked on the door and had a talk with the mom. Hey, he be touching kid. Oh, he been to. And I think it's now, I think it's more prominent now in, in all communities because they have that, that the, that predator watch, you know?
Sponsor Voice (Degree Cool Rush)
Yeah, you have the.
Ms. Pat
You. You know, when I was living in Plainfield, Indiana, every time somebody moved into a neighborhood that had been the jail for molestation or rape, you got to register.
Rory
Yeah.
Ms. Pat
Yeah. You had to register. So you would get an email. A child molester just move three days, three doors down. But back in those days, you didn't have it. So people didn't talk about it, but the black community, always talking, talked about it.
Rory
I downloaded that app right when Amara was born. Remember we were in the studio and that I was like, there's one Walking down the street right now. Yeah, yeah, he's in route like that. Will you up the amount that are around you? I think there's one in this building right now.
Ms. Pat
But I will say this. I think back in some of our. Back in some of our days, like, our grandparents looked the other way. But, you know, if. If she had. If, for instance, they had a man that was taking care of them and they didn't want their world to be rocked, I would say, say in the black community, some people looked away. Yeah. When I. I was born in 72, I think people started to speak out a little bit more.
Ginger
Yeah.
Ms. Pat
But. Yeah.
Ginger
How much of that. How much of your trauma do you turn into?
Ms. Pat
All of it.
Ginger
All of it.
Ms. Pat
I talk about any and everything that ever happened to me. If, If I can remember it, I try to talk about it because, you know, if. If it comes up, it always come up as power thing.
Ginger
Yeah.
Ms. Pat
And my way of controlling it is to find the funny in it. Because if I don't, I could. I could be somewhere sitting and crying about it.
Ginger
Right.
Ms. Pat
So I just told myself a long time ago, I can't change what people done to me. I can't change the family that I was born into. You know, I can't change. I can't change anything. The past is the past. But what I can do is I can learn how to take control of my life. So anything comes up that I can remember, I talk about it. And I've had my husband, like, why the hell do you tell these stories? They're horrific. And I say they're funny to me, and they are.
Ginger
Right. But how long it took you a while to get to that place, though?
Ms. Pat
Yes. Because, you know, one of the biggest thing I was embarrassed about is I was a teenage mom, two kids by a married man, 14 and 15, and he was in his 20s, and he was married. And so I didn't really realize that didn't happen. I thought it happened to everybody. You know, because I'm from the inner city of Atlanta, I didn't really realize I had a mess, messed up life until I started doing comedy. And I realized all black people wasn't raised like me. Because I would be telling these stories. They'd be like, who the raised you? And I'm looking, they got my skin color. I'm like, y', all, this. Y' all didn't go there. Hell no. I went to college. What? I dropped out in eighth grade.
Ginger
Right.
Ms. Pat
So, you know, I, I, I had to learn just to accept, you know, the hand I was. And not cry about it because, you know, I can tell these stories, and I could tell them, in a way we all been here crying, and then I can turn around and tell them in a way, we all laughing.
Ginger
Right.
Ms. Pat
And I just chose to laugh with mine. Now, my sister been on crack for over 30 years, and she's never got over some of the things that we've been through. So everybody deal with their pain the way they want to deal with it. I just chose to laugh. You know, when I say I can't. My mom, my. My mama boyfriend would literally would molest me and my sister at the same time. And his el come me on. And she never talks about it. I do.
Ginger
Right.
Ms. Pat
And sometime memories will come up and I have to call my sister because she'll be in that memory. And I said, may pop, do you remember this? And to make sure she. Because she a big liar, to make sure I'm just not making up things, I let her tell the story and see if the same story is in my head.
Ginger
Right.
Ms. Pat
That's how I know it's really happened to me. Because when you've been traumatized and hurt, a lot of times your brain will lock. Will lock stuff out.
Ginger
Right.
Ms. Pat
You know, to keep you to. To allow you to live, I believe. And I think when it don't lock stuff out, that's how people go crazy.
Ginger
Yeah.
Ms. Pat
So a lot of this stuff that happened to me is. Is locked up in my head. And as things. As I get older and things happen to me or since it's. My brain will unlock them and you start to. I start to remember. And so I. I call somebody if, If. If I got a family member in that thought, I say, hey, did this, or tell me. Tell me what you know about this. And I let them tell the story to make sure I'm not making up stuff. Right.
Ginger
Well, I mean, I'm glad that, you know, that's you. You were able to get past that and turn that into, you know, a way that we can all kind of laugh.
Sponsor Voice (Degree Cool Rush)
Yes.
Ginger
And. And, you know, even though it's just some very traumatic, very serious situations, but like you said, you choose how you want to heal and get over it and. And move on and live the rest of your life.
Ms. Pat
I just want people to realize is you can't change the past, so don't sit there and cry about it.
Ginger
Yeah.
Ms. Pat
You know, we all. All you got to do is just get up and do something about it and start with laughter. You know, just because you was in an abusive relationship, or you've been molested or whatever it might be. Don't let those things hold you down.
Ginger
Right?
Rory
He never gave me that speech.
Ginger
Yeah, I never gave.
Rory
He just. He just keeps making fun.
Ginger
I just. I just. I mean, that's. That's my boy.
Rory
Like, yo, the fact I got hypersexualized in my 20s. I try to be telling, like, real facts and.
Ms. Pat
Well, how do you get hypersexualized in your 20? What is that?
Rory
Oh, I think that was a. I was just trying to. A bunch of. And I think that was. I think that came from being molested. Yeah, I think I was hypersexualized as a kid that.
Ms. Pat
Oh, you just want to have a lot of sex.
Rory
Yeah, I. I think that was part of it.
Ms. Pat
