Joe Rogan Experience #1694 - Ms. Pat & Jordan E. Cooper

Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan Experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
Oh, hello, Ms. Pat.
Hello, Joe Rogan.
Good to see you again.
Please introduce your friend.
This is Jordan E. Cooper, the co-creator of the Ms. Pat Show.
Which, by the way, is a fucking hilarious show.
I was nervous.
When friends say, I got a new show, you're like, oh, I got to watch this shit.
Because so many times you watch your friend's show and it's not good.
Your show is fucking good.
It's a real solid sitcom.
Thank you.
Bravo.
And right out of the gate, it's solid.
You know, sitcoms take years to get their legs, at least a few episodes.
But right out of the gate, your show is very solid.
I wish you knew how hard it was for me to text you to ask you to watch it.
I text, I type the text, and I was like, oh, I can't.
Because I know how honest you are.
And then when I was like, it took me months.
And I was like, but I got to ask him.
Because I was like, if Joe like it, then I feel like it was a seal of solid
foundation.
And I was like, if I can just, because I got Ori to watch it.
And he was like, it's really good.
And I was like, I just want to see if Joe will watch it.
And I know how fucking busy you are.
And I kept, when I sent the text, I was like, oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
He's not going to watch it.
And when I hit you back, hey.
And he was like, I'm in the Mediterranean.
Whatever the fuck that word you use.
You somewhere where birds don't have wings, but they still fly.
You was on vacation.
Where was I?
Somewhere rich people go.
Birds don't have wings, but they still fly?
What kind of riddle is this?
What the fuck?
It's called a crackhead.
That's the part of the riddle.
Birds don't have wings, but they still fly?
I just imagined.
That's where the fuck you was at.
I can't.
So I'm heavily placed.
I can't afford to go.
Oh, okay. I was on vacation.
You was on vacation.
I think you said you was in the Mediterranean.
I'm fucking up the bird.
Probably the Caribbean.
It started with an M.
M?
I don't fucking know.
I was so, probably, I don't, we was texting.
Okay.
And when you started to text me, like, what you, the jokes in the show, I said,
you don't
know how much air went out of my titties that day, Joe.
It's a good show.
I'm very happy it's a good show.
I'm very happy.
It's rock solid.
It really is.
We worked our ass off to get it.
It was so hard with a comedy, because to me, comedy is so rehashed, and I feel
like Hollywood
is so out of ideal.
That's why we getting all these fucking reboots, that even with the pilot, we
went through the
hand and toe to make sure you haven't heard it.
Original jokes.
The original jokes.
A lot of it is my stand-up.
And so that was another thing.
I was like, should I send you all this?
Oh, his unnie's opinion.
And I asked you for your unnie's opinion.
You was like, oh, Pat, I really don't want to watch it because I don't like
watching my
friends.
I said, just watch the shit.
You can't hurt my feelings.
I've been shot.
I've had gunner real.
I've been hit by the freaking fucking thing.
Give it to me, Joe, like hard dick with no condom.
And so you text back, and I immediately text him and say, look what fucking Joe
Rogan
said.
And I can't, the N-word.
Because your fucking podcast is so big, I'm like, oh, she said the N-word
out, Joe Rogan.
Oh, fuck you.
But I immediately said it.
You said it in the past on here.
Well, I text him and I said, nigga, look what Joe Rogan said.
I said, wake your black ass up, nigga, Joe Rogan like our show.
Joe Rogan like our show.
And like I said, it takes a while.
Like when I did news radio that was in the 90s, it took like four or five
episodes before
the show really started finding its way.
It takes a while.
It does.
It does.
I like for, I first saw Pat like maybe, I was a senior in high school.
I'm 26 now.
I was a senior in high school.
My dad had recorded her on this daytime talk show.
And he was like, you got to watch her.
Harry Connick Jr.
Yes, Harry Connick Jr.
Harry Connick Jr.
I remember that show.
You were on that show?
Yes.
Yup.
Wow.
And she, my dad was like, you got to watch her.
Like, she's hilarious.
Like, you'll love her.
You'll love her.
And so I sat down and watched and I just fell in love because I like to do the
type of
comedy where it's like you laugh over the pain.
You laugh over it.
You laugh through it.
And that's her life.
That's Ms. Pat.
That's her brand.
And so I was like, damn, like whenever she gets a book, I'm going to read that
damn book.
Like, I'm going to study it.
That's going to be my shit.
Then I got to college.
Book came out.
It was like $35.
I couldn't afford it.
So I screenshot it.
I was like, oh, I'm going to come back and I'm going to get this book when I
get some money.
Never was able to get the book.
But I wrote this play called Ain't No Mo that went to the public in New York.
What's it called?
It was called Ain't No Mo.
And it was at the public theater.
And Lee Daniels saw it.
And after he saw it, he was like, hey, we're trying to do a TV show for this
comedian.
And her name is Ms. Pat.
But we don't really have a concept.
Nobody really knows what they want to do.
So can you just read her book and see if you can come up with a concept for a
show?
And I was just happy to get the damn book.
But I read it and I just fell in love.
And I immediately saw this sitcom in my head.
Because I'm a big fan of like old school sitcoms.
Like All in the Family, The Jeffersons, Good Times with a live studio audience.
And I just felt like putting like her in this dollhouse of a sitcom and just
burning all of it down.
Put your hands down, son.
God damn, you talking with your hands.
God damn, Joe Rogan.
You can tell.
It's so much hard.
He's expressing himself.
I'm a homosexual.
We talk with our hands.
Homosexual.
He's expressing himself.
Now you out here trying to get names on the slide.
Let him express himself.
Is that what he's doing?
Yeah.
With the hands?
No, he's throwing out gay shutouts.
It's a mating call?
How do you get men with your hands?
It's a mating call.
Dick.
Dick.
Just moving it.
Dick.
You done said dick.
That's it?
I'm learning so much today.
Birds who fly with no wings.
This is how you get dick.
Yes.
I'm learning.
Put your hands down, Joe.
You can get dick.
Put your hands down.
He's young.
For you to be 26 and to create a show is pretty fucking amazing.
It was a ride, Joe, because when Lee first brought this kid to me, and I'm
honest, and
I know Hollywood is full of shit, and it's so hard to get people in the
industry not to
sound like a talking fucking tech.
Everybody said the same goddamn thing, and I was just, I have to break him down.
Either you be honest with me, or I don't fuck with you.
So when I met him, and Lee was like, oh, I got this kid.
He fell out of heaven, and da-da-da, and I'm like, okay, Lee.
And he told me, I'm in fucking Utah, so I want to perform.
He said, get your ass on the plane.
You got to go see the plane.
It's the last night.
I said, I don't know if you know how this shit works, but I'm a comedian.
I don't get paid till tomorrow, and I ain't going no goddamn way.
I need my little pennies, okay?
So they put me on the plane.
I flew over to watch him, and I pick up me.
I deal with people with spirits, your energy.
I can just tell if you're a good person.
I can tell when shit is going to happen.
And when I met him, I said, he could do it.
And the first thing I did, I called him, and I said, they're never going to
give you this job.
He said, but Lee said they're going to hire me.
I said, no, they're not.
He said, why you say that?
I said, because you ain't never did shit, and they don't understand.
Hollywood want what everybody else's want.
They don't want you until somebody else don't fuck you and bust your booty.
I mean, take that out.
Take that out.
No, keep it in there.
Keep it in there.
Hollywood don't want you.
It's just, I didn't know.
I didn't mean to say that.
It's true.
You did mean to say it, and you meant it.
Shut the fuck up.
You're trying to get me counsel.
No, I'm trying to get you elevated.
They don't want you until somebody else doesn't bust you in.
It's true.
And now he's got all kind of interviews, but I sat him down, and I said, they're
going
to take you to fancy dinners and try to blow your fucking mind.
I said, if you listen to a real nigga like me, we can do this.
I said, now, I'm going to be honest with you.
Lee is busting his ass to get this job for you.
I said, but while Lee is busting his ass to get you this job, let me show you
how to
get this job.
He said, what do I got to do?
I said, let's write a pilot behind these motherfuckers' back.
And I started to tell him what the other two writers wouldn't listen to me on,
and he
listened.
And we wrote that motherfucking about eight days.
So when we finished it, I said, he put his name on it.
I said, take your fucking name off.
Which I was like, what?
And let me tell you what, I'm a hood, bitch.
I'm a hood.
I mean, everything for me come from the knowledge that I got from streets.
Okay?
You can never outsmart me because I'm fucked.
You might can spell a word right, but motherfucker, I got Google and two
daughters with a college
degree.
So I'll get your ass back on that, too.
So I told him, I said, take your name off.
He's like, why?
I said, because if they don't like it, they're not going to give you the
fucking job.
But if I tell them I did it, I'm the star of the show.
They're going to, oh, Miss Pepper, throw that shit in the trash can.
We're going to get you a writer.
So what we did, he took his name off.
I said, one thing you ain't never got to worry about me doing is stealing shit
from you.
I'm not that type of person.
I said, what the fuck I look like stealing shit?
These people know I can't spell all this shit correctly.
And that's exactly what she did.
She called Lee and she sent it to Lee and Lee Carr and said, who the fuck wrote
this?
And she said, she said, me.
He said, no, you didn't bitch because everything's spelled right.
And I said, and that's when I said, me and Jordan wrote, and you want to hear
something so crazy?
So this kid just graduated college, right?
And Lee was like, just drop out of college.
You're going to be a fan.
I said, don't you drop out of fucking college.
So I asked him, I said, do you have final draft?
He's like, no, he's poor as fuck.
He said, I don't have final draft.
I said, nigga, take my credit card.
Take my debit card.
Go buy you some grocery and buy final draft.
All I imagined had me interviewing writers, Joe.
Me and him, I said, right, nigga, right.
They got me another interview.
Right, nigga, right.
But what's funny, though, it was something I was talking about this yesterday.
I was like, it takes a lot to earn Pat's trust in that sense.
Because she was literally, it was like she was entrusting me with her comedy
and her story.
And so it was funny where I would write a draft of something and I would send
it over to her.
And she would read it.
She'd be like, nigga, why you got me cussing?
I said, because that's how you talk.
She said, nigga, I don't motherfucking talk like that.
Take that shit out.
That's how you talk.
And I was like, we have to do a new kind of sitcom.
I wanted to do something where it's like you could just be yourself.
You know, because you look at all those old shows.
You look at Sanford and Son with Red Foxx or even the Richard Pryor show that
he had for like three seconds.
And it's like, imagine if he was just allowed to be himself.
That show would have lasted forever.
You know what I mean?
Well, Sanford and Son, Red Foxx got as close as you can get on a network
television show to be in Red Foxx.
Yeah.
Exactly.
About as close as you can get.
Yeah.
But they don't do those anymore.
They scared.
And when he came to me and he said, well, actually, after we wrote the pilot,
they immediately gave him a job.
After we wrote the pilot, they was like, this kid can write.
And I told him, I said, see, I know what the fuc
