Wiser Than Me with Julia Louis-Dreyfus
Julia Gets Wise with Patti LaBelle

Not just musically, just life, things that happen in life. And just a strong, strong woman she was. And I believe you cooked for her too, particularly like at the end of her life. I did. I was at, I think we were at the London Hotel in New York. I can't remember the name of the hotel. We were staying at the same hotel because we were doing the Carnegie Hall show. Yes. And she was in my hotel.

And so she called me and said, Patty, what are you doing? So I said, I'm making lunch. And so she said, what are you making? I said, I'm making hot sausage. I mean, they were really hot from the farmer's market in Philly. I brought them with me to New York. And she said, I would like one. And so I went up to her room and she was there in her way of being at that time.

And my friend Norma, who does my hair, came up with me. She said, no, no, not Norma, just you. So I went in and gave her the hot sausage, and she just showed me what she was going through. It was very personal. And she just opened up to me. And when she ate it, I said, now you're going to need a lot of water to go after that hot, hot.

The dynamic with my sisters, we fought. You did. We loved. We hugged. We loved. We had issues with crabs, hard-shelled crabs. What do you mean issues? Issues because we all loved hard-shelled crabs, male crabs, the gigantic ones. Yeah. So we would get bushels of crabs on the weekend. And so whenever they were cooked... I would go in the pot first and take the bigger ones.

I knew how to get in that pot and pick before they got in the kitchen.

Just crazy things, but we loved each other, but we fought like sisters. And they were very fashionable too, I understand, right? Your sisters, weren't they? Oh, I used to wear my sister's Vivian. When she went to work, I would get her clothes and wear them to school. And she would come back and say, somebody's been in my clothes because I never put them back properly.
