25
00:01:33,943 --> 00:01:37,023
Speaker 2: but first let's talk about some things. So, as I

26
00:01:37,024 --> 00:01:40,464
Speaker 2: said here, yesterday Spain won the World Cup, and I

27
00:01:40,464 --> 00:01:43,463
Speaker 2: think I'm supposed to be excited about that. Look, I

28
00:01:43,584 --> 00:01:45,744
Speaker 2: was not a World Cup guy until this year. And

29
00:01:45,744 --> 00:01:48,264
Speaker 2: by a World Cup guy, I meant I watched a

30
00:01:48,304 --> 00:01:49,784
Speaker 2: little bit of World Cup this year for the first

31
00:01:49,824 --> 00:01:53,144
Speaker 2: time in my life. Wasn't my choice, Not that I'm

32
00:01:53,144 --> 00:01:55,344
Speaker 2: anti the World Cup, but my eight year old came

33
00:01:55,383 --> 00:01:58,823
Speaker 2: me at one point and said, hey, Data, how can

34
00:01:58,864 --> 00:02:00,904
Speaker 2: we watch the NBA finals but we're not watching the

35
00:02:00,904 --> 00:02:04,504
Speaker 2: World Cup. I was like, oh, fair criticism. My eight

36
00:02:04,584 --> 00:02:06,624
Speaker 2: year old. She started playing soccer this year, but like

37
00:02:06,704 --> 00:02:10,384
Speaker 2: little kid, non competitive, non keeping the score soccer. It

38
00:02:10,464 --> 00:02:14,103
Speaker 2: was great. A couple dads were coaches. They actually dads

39
00:02:14,144 --> 00:02:16,984
Speaker 2: who knew soccer. They were great coaches. I love those dudes.

40
00:02:17,304 --> 00:02:19,024
Speaker 2: And my eight year old has now fallen in love

41
00:02:19,024 --> 00:02:21,424
Speaker 2: with soccer. And we did watch the NBA finals at

42
00:02:21,464 --> 00:02:23,944
Speaker 2: my house. This is the first year my kids wanted

43
00:02:23,983 --> 00:02:26,024
Speaker 2: to watch the NBA finals because they're I think because

44
00:02:26,064 --> 00:02:28,064
Speaker 2: they're fans of the City of New York, not necessarily

45
00:02:28,064 --> 00:02:29,584
Speaker 2: the team of New York, but since the New York

46
00:02:29,663 --> 00:02:31,744
Speaker 2: Knicks were in the finals and won the finals, we

47
00:02:31,784 --> 00:02:33,584
Speaker 2: watched the NBA Finals, which is great to watch. My

48
00:02:33,624 --> 00:02:35,904
Speaker 2: three daughters and my eight year old. After it was over,

49
00:02:35,904 --> 00:02:38,664
Speaker 2: it was like, hey, we watched the NBA Finals, but

50
00:02:38,703 --> 00:02:40,543
Speaker 2: the World Cup is happening. She heard about the World

51
00:02:40,543 --> 00:02:44,103
Speaker 2: Cup because everybody's talking about it. Also, one of one

52
00:02:44,144 --> 00:02:47,504
Speaker 2: of her childcare providers, who's like a family friend, also

53
00:02:47,784 --> 00:02:49,863
Speaker 2: is from Brazil, So you heard about Brazil being in

54
00:02:49,864 --> 00:02:51,143
Speaker 2: the World Cup. She wanted to see Brazil in the

55
00:02:51,184 --> 00:02:53,464
Speaker 2: World Cup. We watched the game with Brazil, they did

56
00:02:53,464 --> 00:02:55,383
Speaker 2: not advance, but we also got to watch the game

57
00:02:55,424 --> 00:02:57,864
Speaker 2: with Messi where he scored three goals of the hat trick.

58
00:02:58,184 --> 00:02:59,944
Speaker 2: So I watched some World Cup this year for the

59
00:02:59,983 --> 00:03:01,904
Speaker 2: first time and really enjoyed it, mostly because my eight

60
00:03:01,983 --> 00:03:05,904
Speaker 2: year old enjoyed it. And then yesterday we watched Spain

61
00:03:06,944 --> 00:03:09,904
Speaker 2: and Argentina and Spain won one nil.

62
00:03:10,184 --> 00:03:12,384
Speaker 1: Look at me talking like a World Cup person.

63
00:03:12,864 --> 00:03:16,423
Speaker 2: Uh, Spain won one mill and uh, I was a

64
00:03:16,464 --> 00:03:20,224
Speaker 2: little bit confused because, like, I'm so used to my

65
00:03:20,823 --> 00:03:23,224
Speaker 2: folks out here in the Bay Area, my Latino folks

66
00:03:23,263 --> 00:03:26,704
Speaker 2: being anti Spain because they're the colonizer. Uh, like, you know,

67
00:03:26,744 --> 00:03:29,504
Speaker 2: my Mexican American friends and my South American friends. But

68
00:03:29,543 --> 00:03:34,304
Speaker 2: then apparently I learned that Argentina uh is more openly

69
00:03:34,383 --> 00:03:38,304
Speaker 2: racist more recently than Spain is. So like, so I'm

70
00:03:38,464 --> 00:03:42,384
Speaker 2: happy for Spain, which I you know, I guess. Uh so, yeah,

71
00:03:42,384 --> 00:03:45,184
Speaker 2: I'm happy for Spain and not happy for Argentina, although

72
00:03:45,184 --> 00:03:46,904
Speaker 2: I guess also, is it okay if we like Messi?

73
00:03:46,984 --> 00:03:47,304
Speaker 1: I don't know.

74
00:03:47,344 --> 00:03:49,544
Speaker 2: My eight year old likes Messi because he's good. But

75
00:03:49,864 --> 00:03:52,864
Speaker 2: you know, we we we were happy to see Spain win. Yeah,

76
00:03:52,904 --> 00:03:54,464
Speaker 2: so shout out to Spain.

77
00:03:54,584 --> 00:03:55,064
Speaker 1: I guess.

78
00:03:55,864 --> 00:03:59,424
Speaker 2: My eight year old also booed the TV directly whenever

79
00:03:59,464 --> 00:04:02,904
Speaker 2: Trump came on. So we're raising her, right. But let's

80
00:04:02,904 --> 00:04:04,944
Speaker 2: there's more good news out there from the past week

81
00:04:04,984 --> 00:04:09,863
Speaker 2: that we should celebrate. Uh, President Trump are adjudicated rapist

82
00:04:09,944 --> 00:04:10,344
Speaker 2: in chief.

83
00:04:10,384 --> 00:04:12,184
Speaker 1: He is a judicate rappists.

84
00:04:12,104 --> 00:04:17,024
Speaker 2: Had to pay Eging Carol five point six million dollars

85
00:04:17,784 --> 00:04:20,424
Speaker 2: because Egen Carroll is the woman that he is adjudicated

86
00:04:20,464 --> 00:04:23,063
Speaker 2: to have raped. So you can say that the president

87
00:04:23,064 --> 00:04:25,024
Speaker 2: has an adjudicated rapist. You can say that, you don't

88
00:04:25,064 --> 00:04:28,904
Speaker 2: say accused or has been said to or credible accusations

89
00:04:29,024 --> 00:04:31,824
Speaker 2: the course of weight in and he owed her five

90
00:04:31,864 --> 00:04:34,144
Speaker 2: point six million dollars and last week she got her

91
00:04:34,144 --> 00:04:35,904
Speaker 2: money because it was sitting in an account somewhere and

92
00:04:35,944 --> 00:04:39,024
Speaker 2: they said here, it is so good for Egen Carroll

93
00:04:39,104 --> 00:04:43,064
Speaker 2: for standing up to our adjudicated rapist in chief. I

94
00:04:43,104 --> 00:04:44,304
Speaker 2: want to be clear some things up. A lot of

95
00:04:44,304 --> 00:04:46,824
Speaker 2: times people think that this happens commonly, that women get

96
00:04:46,864 --> 00:04:50,824
Speaker 2: money when they are raped, and that's or accused someone

97
00:04:50,824 --> 00:04:51,144
Speaker 2: of rape.

98
00:04:51,184 --> 00:04:51,744
Speaker 1: That's not true.

99
00:04:51,744 --> 00:04:54,464
Speaker 2: This happens very rarely, but it did happen in this case.

100
00:04:54,664 --> 00:04:57,024
Speaker 2: And in a world where so much awful is happening,

101
00:04:57,064 --> 00:04:59,384
Speaker 2: and you've read the news, you got to celebrate the

102
00:04:59,824 --> 00:05:03,264
Speaker 2: good ones. You got to accentuate the positive and eliminate

103
00:05:03,304 --> 00:05:05,864
Speaker 2: the negative, not eliminated, but at least not focus on it,

104
00:05:05,904 --> 00:05:07,944
Speaker 2: not hyper focus on it. The other good news, in

105
00:05:07,944 --> 00:05:09,944
Speaker 2: a related story, is that Saturday of the news drop

106
00:05:10,144 --> 00:05:13,264
Speaker 2: that Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate have been arrested.

107
00:05:13,344 --> 00:05:14,024
Speaker 1: In Miami.

108
00:05:14,424 --> 00:05:20,424
Speaker 2: Apparently the UK police threw thirty eight more charges at them.

109
00:05:20,424 --> 00:05:22,824
Speaker 2: They already had some charges thrown at them, and the

110
00:05:22,864 --> 00:05:26,584
Speaker 2: Tate Brothers went to Miami and apparently the UK and

111
00:05:26,824 --> 00:05:30,304
Speaker 2: in America have an extradition treaty. So American law enforcement

112
00:05:30,384 --> 00:05:33,384
Speaker 2: officials arrested them in Miami and apparently they're going to

113
00:05:33,424 --> 00:05:38,344
Speaker 2: the UK to confront their new charges thirty eight more charges. Now,

114
00:05:38,424 --> 00:05:40,464
Speaker 2: if you know the Tape Brothers, they are leaders of

115
00:05:40,504 --> 00:05:43,424
Speaker 2: the Manisphere. The Manisphere is the part of the Internet

116
00:05:43,464 --> 00:05:47,264
Speaker 2: that turns young men and little boys into misogynists and

117
00:05:47,384 --> 00:05:53,344
Speaker 2: phobes of the worst time, transphobes, homophobes, you know, just racists.

118
00:05:53,344 --> 00:05:57,024
Speaker 2: Turns them into racists. Even though the Tates are black

119
00:05:57,384 --> 00:05:59,864
Speaker 2: because their dad was black from Chicago, but they don't

120
00:05:59,864 --> 00:06:02,664
Speaker 2: really do black stuff in the way that I would

121
00:06:02,704 --> 00:06:04,584
Speaker 2: like them to. Like, I guess they're black, like Clarence

122
00:06:04,584 --> 00:06:08,024
Speaker 2: Thomas is black. That's the blackness they have anyway. But yeah,

123
00:06:08,064 --> 00:06:11,304
Speaker 2: so the Tates are leaders of the Manisphere, but that's

124
00:06:11,344 --> 00:06:14,944
Speaker 2: not why they're arrested. They're also very credibly accused of

125
00:06:14,984 --> 00:06:18,664
Speaker 2: sex trafficking and they also run pyramid schemes where they

126
00:06:18,704 --> 00:06:21,464
Speaker 2: take advantage of their audience, these young men who they

127
00:06:21,504 --> 00:06:24,424
Speaker 2: say they're going to make them powerful men by getting

128
00:06:24,424 --> 00:06:27,864
Speaker 2: them to spend money every month out of their wallets

129
00:06:27,984 --> 00:06:31,464
Speaker 2: to participate in a pyramid scheme. So there are both

130
00:06:32,384 --> 00:06:35,144
Speaker 2: credibly accused of sex trafficking. They're accused of rape at

131
00:06:35,184 --> 00:06:39,384
Speaker 2: least Andrew tait is, and they run pyramid schemes and

132
00:06:39,424 --> 00:06:41,624
Speaker 2: they were arrested in Miami. And of course the people

133
00:06:41,624 --> 00:06:44,824
Speaker 2: who got the news first for TMZ, some of America's

134
00:06:44,904 --> 00:06:47,784
Speaker 2: leading journalists at TMZ. I don't know how TMZ does it,

135
00:06:47,864 --> 00:06:50,304
Speaker 2: but they sometimes they get big news. I think it's

136
00:06:50,304 --> 00:06:53,584
Speaker 2: because they pay. But my favorite thing about the clip

137
00:06:53,624 --> 00:06:56,344
Speaker 2: of Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan getting arrested. My

138
00:06:56,584 --> 00:07:00,024
Speaker 2: favorite thing about it is the moment when so Andrew

139
00:07:00,064 --> 00:07:03,504
Speaker 2: Tate's arrested and they walk him to the paddy wagon

140
00:07:03,584 --> 00:07:05,104
Speaker 2: or the vehicle they put him in. A lot of

141
00:07:05,144 --> 00:07:07,304
Speaker 2: women have made fun of what Andrew Tate was wearing,

142
00:07:07,504 --> 00:07:11,744
Speaker 2: saying I have that outfit in my closet. It's clearly

143
00:07:11,824 --> 00:07:13,224
Speaker 2: him and his brother were going out to the club

144
00:07:13,864 --> 00:07:16,024
Speaker 2: to have a good time, so he's dressed for club action.

145
00:07:16,104 --> 00:07:17,784
Speaker 2: But a lot of people on the Internet are saying like,

146
00:07:17,824 --> 00:07:20,384
Speaker 2: he that's a not very good fashion sense. I can't

147
00:07:20,384 --> 00:07:22,304
Speaker 2: really make fun of that, but a lot of women

148
00:07:22,384 --> 00:07:26,624
Speaker 2: have check out refashioned Hippie on Instagram and YouTube has

149
00:07:26,664 --> 00:07:29,904
Speaker 2: some funny stuff about it and his brother who's dressed

150
00:07:29,904 --> 00:07:32,824
Speaker 2: in a suit, who when they pick him up, he's

151
00:07:32,824 --> 00:07:36,024
Speaker 2: being walked to the police car or the whatever vehicle

152
00:07:36,024 --> 00:07:38,984
Speaker 2: they're putting him in, and there's this great moment where

153
00:07:39,104 --> 00:07:41,704
Speaker 2: somebody asks Tristan Tate Andrews's brother, who's sort of like

154
00:07:41,744 --> 00:07:45,424
Speaker 2: the little brother who tags along, basically like hey, got

155
00:07:45,424 --> 00:07:47,664
Speaker 2: anything to say? And Tristan turns and looks at the

156
00:07:47,664 --> 00:07:50,304
Speaker 2: guy who's asking, and the look on Tristan's face is

157
00:07:50,344 --> 00:07:51,424
Speaker 2: like I'm.

158
00:07:51,264 --> 00:07:55,064
Speaker 1: Turning state's evidence. I'm telling everybody.

159
00:07:55,504 --> 00:07:58,624
Speaker 2: He looks like he looks like he looks full Henry

160
00:07:58,664 --> 00:08:01,344
Speaker 2: Hill from Goodfellows in that moment, like I'm not going down.

161
00:08:01,664 --> 00:08:03,504
Speaker 2: He looks like I don't. I don't want to go

162
00:08:03,544 --> 00:08:05,864
Speaker 2: to jail again. They went to jail in Romania for

163
00:08:05,904 --> 00:08:07,544
Speaker 2: a little while. I think they thought that was fun.

164
00:08:07,544 --> 00:08:09,784
Speaker 2: I don't think they think UK jail is gonna be fun,

165
00:08:09,824 --> 00:08:12,264
Speaker 2: at least Tristan does it. Those face is like I'm

166
00:08:12,264 --> 00:08:15,824
Speaker 2: turning state's evidence. So you they want you, they don't

167
00:08:15,824 --> 00:08:19,584
Speaker 2: want me, so good job, Tristan Tate. I have very

168
00:08:19,584 --> 00:08:23,144
Speaker 2: famously come out against the Tates on substack because they

169
00:08:23,144 --> 00:08:25,984
Speaker 2: had a they have a substack channel and subseac was

170
00:08:26,024 --> 00:08:28,344
Speaker 2: promoting it and I called out Subsack for it. You

171
00:08:28,384 --> 00:08:30,984
Speaker 2: can follow me on subsack to read that. And also

172
00:08:31,064 --> 00:08:33,103
Speaker 2: just to keep up with everything I'm doing. And also

173
00:08:33,184 --> 00:08:34,784
Speaker 2: I had an incident a couple of years ago where

174
00:08:34,944 --> 00:08:37,904
Speaker 2: my kids school emailed all the parents, was like, hey,

175
00:08:37,944 --> 00:08:40,064
Speaker 2: some of the boys in middle school and lower school

176
00:08:40,064 --> 00:08:42,864
Speaker 2: are talking about how they watch Andrew Tate and we're

177
00:08:42,904 --> 00:08:45,583
Speaker 2: just and it's hurting some feelings and we're having conversations.

178
00:08:45,784 --> 00:08:48,384
Speaker 2: It is of course age appropriate that little boys want

179
00:08:48,424 --> 00:08:51,864
Speaker 2: to be involved and follow controversial male figures. And I

180
00:08:51,944 --> 00:08:54,103
Speaker 2: email back like no, no, no, no, no, no, no, this

181
00:08:54,264 --> 00:08:56,824
Speaker 2: is these are not controversial male figures. Andrew Tate is

182
00:08:56,863 --> 00:09:00,463
Speaker 2: not controversial. He is credibly accused of sex trafficking and

183
00:09:00,544 --> 00:09:03,424
Speaker 2: running a pyramid scheme. This is not a d rape,

184
00:09:03,463 --> 00:09:05,424
Speaker 2: This is not a this is not a you know

185
00:09:05,504 --> 00:09:06,263
Speaker 2: rock stars.

186
00:09:05,983 --> 00:09:09,384
Speaker 1: And cloud makeup. This is a demon. They never emailed

187
00:09:09,424 --> 00:09:09,824
Speaker 1: me back.

188
00:09:11,703 --> 00:09:13,863
Speaker 2: I say look as the first News also accused of

189
00:09:13,904 --> 00:09:18,024
Speaker 2: being controversial. There's a difference between controversy and a high

190
00:09:18,103 --> 00:09:20,903
Speaker 2: level criminal who is dangerous. And let's let's not get

191
00:09:20,904 --> 00:09:24,264
Speaker 2: it twisted. So maybe I'm a controversial comedian. And you know,

192
00:09:24,343 --> 00:09:26,584
Speaker 2: as a kid, I enjoyed Andrew Dice Clay's first album.

193
00:09:26,743 --> 00:09:29,784
Speaker 2: But Andrew diceed Clay is not acute sex trafficker and

194
00:09:29,904 --> 00:09:32,463
Speaker 2: rapist and running a pyramid scheme. He just a dirty

195
00:09:32,544 --> 00:09:36,624
Speaker 2: joke teller who tells sexist and racist jokes for fun.

196
00:09:36,664 --> 00:09:39,304
Speaker 2: And in high school I enjoyed that. So let's not

197
00:09:39,304 --> 00:09:42,703
Speaker 2: get confused. We can't let our young men like the

198
00:09:42,743 --> 00:09:45,184
Speaker 2: Tates and think that's just another Oh, it's like people

199
00:09:45,184 --> 00:09:47,944
Speaker 2: who like Kiss and Alice Cooper and uh, you know,

200
00:09:48,024 --> 00:09:48,664
Speaker 2: that's just the same.

201
00:09:48,703 --> 00:09:51,544
Speaker 1: It's not the same, not the same. Anyway.

202
00:09:51,863 --> 00:09:57,664
Speaker 2: This week our guest is Leslie Jones, comedian, Firestarter, firebrand,

203
00:09:58,703 --> 00:10:02,624
Speaker 2: just a force of nature, Leslie Jones. I'd only met

204
00:10:02,664 --> 00:10:04,783
Speaker 2: Leslie through social media. We had interacted a couple of

205
00:10:04,824 --> 00:10:07,864
Speaker 2: times years ago. Actually wrote a piece on my website,

206
00:10:07,863 --> 00:10:11,384
Speaker 2: a blog about how she did a bit on Usanelle

207
00:10:11,384 --> 00:10:13,184
Speaker 2: about how if she had been a slave, that she

208
00:10:13,223 --> 00:10:15,824
Speaker 2: would have been popular because she's a big, strong, powerful woman,

209
00:10:16,103 --> 00:10:18,824
Speaker 2: and how that's different how she feels now as a big, strong,

210
00:10:18,863 --> 00:10:21,304
Speaker 2: powerful black woman, she doesn't feel as popular, and it

211
00:10:21,343 --> 00:10:23,784
Speaker 2: was very controversial she did on the Weekend Update Desk.

212
00:10:23,824 --> 00:10:26,424
Speaker 1: We talk about that bit in this episode.

213
00:10:26,463 --> 00:10:29,223
Speaker 2: During this conversation, we also just talk about generally about

214
00:10:29,264 --> 00:10:32,144
Speaker 2: her roun on SNL and what woent and't right and

215
00:10:32,184 --> 00:10:33,904
Speaker 2: what she thinks did not go as right as it

216
00:10:33,904 --> 00:10:36,064
Speaker 2: should have been, specifically about how at one point she

217
00:10:36,064 --> 00:10:37,824
Speaker 2: did a bit about how she wanted to play Trump

218
00:10:37,824 --> 00:10:40,304
Speaker 2: on the show that I really enjoyed, and we talked

219
00:10:40,304 --> 00:10:43,064
Speaker 2: about her career in Hollywood and also how we are

220
00:10:43,144 --> 00:10:45,784
Speaker 2: both sort of like quote unquote late bloomers in this

221
00:10:45,863 --> 00:10:49,064
Speaker 2: business and how that affects us or doesn't affect us.

222
00:10:49,144 --> 00:10:51,103
Speaker 2: But really the important thing is on this episode of

223
00:10:51,103 --> 00:10:53,583
Speaker 2: Who's with Me, I'm really the guest and Leslie Jones

224
00:10:53,623 --> 00:10:55,623
Speaker 2: as the host, and she took over from the moment

225
00:10:55,664 --> 00:10:57,864
Speaker 2: she walked in to the moment she left. I was

226
00:10:57,904 --> 00:11:00,983
Speaker 2: just happy to be a guest on my own podcast.

284
00:14:17,544 --> 00:14:20,024
Speaker 1: important for you to understand who you are and that

00:15:17,584 --> 00:15:20,624
Speaker 2: first TV show, Totally Biased, at the same time that

311
00:15:20,664 --> 00:15:22,704
Speaker 2: he was telling people that you were funny.

312
00:15:23,184 --> 00:15:25,584
Speaker 1: Really, he was telling people I was funny. Yeah, So

313
00:15:26,144 --> 00:15:28,984
Speaker 1: that every time I talked to Chris and he says stuff,

314
00:15:29,024 --> 00:15:31,664
Speaker 1: I'd be like, for real, like because I was like

315
00:15:31,744 --> 00:15:33,784
Speaker 1: what we would when I wrote for him. For I

316
00:15:33,784 --> 00:15:36,903
Speaker 1: think it was the I think it was the it

317
00:15:36,944 --> 00:15:39,264
Speaker 1: was either the Emmys or the Oscars. I think it

318
00:15:39,304 --> 00:15:41,584
Speaker 1: was the Oscars because I think I did a sketch

319
00:15:41,624 --> 00:15:44,424
Speaker 1: with him too, But I was like, oh, I don't.

320
00:15:44,784 --> 00:15:46,664
Speaker 1: I was saying something about Kobe. I was like, yeah,

321
00:15:46,784 --> 00:15:49,464
Speaker 1: Kobe's the hot dog. Oh, Kobe loves you. And I

322
00:15:49,504 --> 00:15:56,064
Speaker 1: was like, Kobe knows who I am, Like it's it's insane,

323
00:15:56,384 --> 00:15:57,184
Speaker 1: It's insane.

324
00:15:57,504 --> 00:15:58,944
Speaker 2: I have that same feeling when I find out that

325
00:15:58,984 --> 00:16:01,984
Speaker 2: people know who I am, like the TV people. Everybody

326
00:16:01,984 --> 00:16:06,584
Speaker 2: gets TV, like everybody watches TV, and it's like celebrities

327
00:16:06,584 --> 00:16:07,264
Speaker 2: also watched TV.

328
00:16:07,344 --> 00:16:08,224
Speaker 1: It's so crazy.

329
00:16:08,344 --> 00:16:11,704
Speaker 2: So I was on totally biased at the time when

330
00:16:11,744 --> 00:16:14,383
Speaker 2: it became major news that started O I didn't have

331
00:16:14,384 --> 00:16:16,344
Speaker 2: any black women in the cast, and.

332
00:16:16,304 --> 00:16:20,824
Speaker 1: I misunderstood everything because when they told me, I was

333
00:16:20,904 --> 00:16:24,544
Speaker 1: at a gig and come on, I was broke, Like

334
00:16:24,584 --> 00:16:28,024
Speaker 1: I was broke, broke and I was selling merch. It

335
00:16:28,064 --> 00:16:32,104
Speaker 1: was Russell Simmons Room on Wednesday Night that Tony Rock

336
00:16:32,144 --> 00:16:35,584
Speaker 1: at the time was hosting, and this girl came up

337
00:16:35,584 --> 00:16:37,944
Speaker 1: to me and she was doing her little thing and

338
00:16:37,984 --> 00:16:40,544
Speaker 1: she was like, so did you hear what Keenan Thompson said.

339
00:16:40,824 --> 00:16:43,184
Speaker 1: I ain't never met Keenan and I was like what

340
00:16:43,464 --> 00:16:45,584
Speaker 1: she was like, he said that black women can't be

341
00:16:45,664 --> 00:16:50,224
Speaker 1: on SNL And I lost it. I said, who said that?

342
00:16:50,864 --> 00:16:54,864
Speaker 1: I said, the motherfucker from all that, you're not all

343
00:16:55,024 --> 00:16:57,824
Speaker 1: that like. I went off and I said I'll meet

344
00:16:57,864 --> 00:17:00,384
Speaker 1: you anywhere, any place, and I'll go up and we'll

345
00:17:00,424 --> 00:17:02,744
Speaker 1: see who the fuck would rock the house. I remember

346
00:17:02,904 --> 00:17:05,184
Speaker 1: because I remember the first time I met Keenan, and

347
00:17:05,224 --> 00:17:07,263
Speaker 1: that was he was like, you went hard on me, yo,

348
00:17:07,824 --> 00:17:10,104
Speaker 1: so so cause it was a misrepresentative.

349
00:17:10,144 --> 00:17:12,224
Speaker 2: That's not what he said, was saying, the show doesn't

350
00:17:12,224 --> 00:17:14,704
Speaker 2: have black women, not exact, not the black women.

351
00:17:15,184 --> 00:17:17,184
Speaker 1: And it's really true what he's saying. A lot of

352
00:17:17,344 --> 00:17:19,384
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even just put it to black women. I

353
00:17:19,424 --> 00:17:21,264
Speaker 1: would put it to people because a lot of people

354
00:17:21,504 --> 00:17:24,624
Speaker 1: that go, oh the goalless SNL, you don't understand what

355
00:17:24,704 --> 00:17:28,584
Speaker 1: it takes to really be on that show. I didn't understand.

356
00:17:28,904 --> 00:17:33,664
Speaker 1: So I went up that night and I ripped so hard,

357
00:17:34,304 --> 00:17:36,904
Speaker 1: and I remember at the end of the set, I said,

358
00:17:37,984 --> 00:17:41,504
Speaker 1: so there's no funny black women, and I dropped the

359
00:17:41,584 --> 00:17:48,184
Speaker 1: mic into place for it's life. And I think maybe

360
00:17:48,384 --> 00:17:51,704
Speaker 1: two weeks from that, because Chris had saw me at

361
00:17:51,704 --> 00:17:53,784
Speaker 1: the comedy store too, and I was doing this. I

362
00:17:53,824 --> 00:17:56,384
Speaker 1: was doing the slave joke that I had been doing

363
00:17:56,424 --> 00:17:59,784
Speaker 1: for several years everywhere, and no one had a problem

364
00:17:59,864 --> 00:18:02,904
Speaker 1: with it until I fucking did it for everybody.

365
00:18:03,304 --> 00:18:04,824
Speaker 2: That's the first time I think I wrote about that

366
00:18:04,864 --> 00:18:06,824
Speaker 2: on my website and it was so weird.

367
00:18:06,984 --> 00:18:09,664
Speaker 1: So he saw me do that joke and they said

368
00:18:09,664 --> 00:18:12,263
Speaker 1: he wrote me down in the people to watch, But

369
00:18:12,344 --> 00:18:14,464
Speaker 1: I didn't know he was going around telling everybody. But

370
00:18:14,504 --> 00:18:16,744
Speaker 1: that's that's how it got me. Like two weeks later,

371
00:18:17,024 --> 00:18:19,384
Speaker 1: Chris called me and he was like, hey, had dinner

372
00:18:19,424 --> 00:18:22,664
Speaker 1: with Lauren and I was like, yeah, from SNL. Oh,

373
00:18:22,744 --> 00:18:26,384
Speaker 1: that's that dude name. Because I work on Saturday nights,

374
00:18:26,424 --> 00:18:29,184
Speaker 1: I don't watch I did watch it. I only watch

375
00:18:29,224 --> 00:18:30,744
Speaker 1: it when Black People was on there. That's what I'm

376
00:18:30,784 --> 00:18:35,584
Speaker 1: being honest, right right, So that's the only time I

377
00:18:35,624 --> 00:18:37,784
Speaker 1: ever watched it. So he was like, yeah, I had

378
00:18:38,424 --> 00:18:40,704
Speaker 1: dinner with him, and somebody's gonna call you to come,

379
00:18:40,944 --> 00:18:46,184
Speaker 1: uh to come audition for SNL And I lost my shit.

380
00:18:46,944 --> 00:18:49,544
Speaker 1: I said, what the fuck are you? Is this what

381
00:18:49,584 --> 00:18:52,944
Speaker 1: the fuck you call helping me? I was like, do

382
00:18:53,024 --> 00:18:55,024
Speaker 1: you think this is what the fuck I want to do?

383
00:18:55,504 --> 00:18:58,224
Speaker 1: Like I'm not no sketch comic, I'm a fucking stand

384
00:18:58,304 --> 00:19:00,504
Speaker 1: up Like what are you talking? Like what am I

385
00:19:00,584 --> 00:19:03,224
Speaker 1: even gonna do as an audition? Like I don't even

386
00:19:03,264 --> 00:19:06,304
Speaker 1: want to hear this. I'm like I'm pissed, And he

387
00:19:06,464 --> 00:19:09,263
Speaker 1: just said you are the stupidest person I ever talked to.

388
00:19:09,504 --> 00:19:11,664
Speaker 1: That sounds like Chris shut up. He said that to

389
00:19:11,704 --> 00:19:14,104
Speaker 1: me before and go in an audition and do some

390
00:19:14,184 --> 00:19:15,944
Speaker 1: stand up and he hung up in my face. Yeah,

391
00:19:16,504 --> 00:19:17,624
Speaker 1: and he was just like I don't want to hear

392
00:19:17,624 --> 00:19:20,704
Speaker 1: that shit, like are you stupid? And even when the

393
00:19:20,864 --> 00:19:22,584
Speaker 1: manager I had at the time, I was like, I'm

394
00:19:22,584 --> 00:19:24,664
Speaker 1: not doing that, and he was like, yeah, you crazy,

395
00:19:24,904 --> 00:19:27,184
Speaker 1: You're doing it. If I have to come over there

396
00:19:27,264 --> 00:19:30,224
Speaker 1: and fight you, yeah, you're gonna go do it. So

397
00:19:30,264 --> 00:19:32,704
Speaker 1: then it became the mission of like, Okay, I'm finna

398
00:19:32,744 --> 00:19:37,464
Speaker 1: go and show them what they're not gonna get. Here's

399
00:19:37,464 --> 00:19:43,264
Speaker 1: what you don't want, here's what you can't have. But

400
00:19:43,344 --> 00:19:46,584
Speaker 1: it's so crazy because the slave joke really was based

401
00:19:46,944 --> 00:19:50,984
Speaker 1: on a bad date and that was when I wasn't

402
00:19:51,024 --> 00:19:51,824
Speaker 1: even doing comedy.

403
00:19:51,944 --> 00:19:54,384
Speaker 2: You were doing that joke. You did that joke for

404
00:19:54,384 --> 00:19:58,464
Speaker 2: your audition. I did I do that joke? Yes, I did.

405
00:19:58,544 --> 00:20:00,904
Speaker 2: I did that joke. I did a climb, I did

406
00:20:00,944 --> 00:20:02,744
Speaker 2: a joke where I did a cart Well, first of all,

407
00:20:02,744 --> 00:20:04,504
Speaker 2: were you doing an audition in a club or just

408
00:20:04,544 --> 00:20:07,704
Speaker 2: in the studio or drive the classic audition of like

409
00:20:07,904 --> 00:20:10,624
Speaker 2: there's like four producers in there and Louren and there's

410
00:20:10,664 --> 00:20:13,704
Speaker 2: no audio and the acoustics are dry right here.

411
00:20:13,744 --> 00:20:16,184
Speaker 1: Two o'clock in the morning at the comedy store. That's

412
00:20:16,224 --> 00:20:19,704
Speaker 1: what that was. Oh yeah, when I walked in, I

413
00:20:19,784 --> 00:20:23,344
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, business is usual. And I did my set.

414
00:20:23,424 --> 00:20:25,543
Speaker 1: So I did a climb. I did this joke that

415
00:20:25,664 --> 00:20:27,504
Speaker 1: I wanted to be Nadia kom and each so I

416
00:20:27,544 --> 00:20:29,504
Speaker 1: do this whole cart well so they could see I

417
00:20:29,624 --> 00:20:32,584
Speaker 1: go physical. Then I did like some smart shit. I

418
00:20:32,624 --> 00:20:34,944
Speaker 1: think I did the texting joke. I did the texture joke,

419
00:20:34,984 --> 00:20:37,104
Speaker 1: which is really smart, and then I ended with the

420
00:20:37,144 --> 00:20:40,224
Speaker 1: slave joke, and then I was like Leslie Jones peace,

421
00:20:40,704 --> 00:20:44,024
Speaker 1: and then I walked off. But what people don't understand

422
00:20:44,184 --> 00:20:49,024
Speaker 1: about that slave joke was I wrote that in ninety nine.

423
00:20:49,184 --> 00:20:51,384
Speaker 1: I don't think I was even doing comedy. You don't

424
00:20:51,384 --> 00:20:54,704
Speaker 1: have to tell them. That's why I'm good. Yeah, I'm like,

425
00:20:54,744 --> 00:20:57,504
Speaker 1: it was a bad date. It was a bad date. No,

426
00:20:57,584 --> 00:20:59,944
Speaker 1: he didn't try. I got stood up and I missed

427
00:20:59,944 --> 00:21:02,344
Speaker 1: out on a really big gig because I wanted to

428
00:21:02,384 --> 00:21:05,304
Speaker 1: go out with this guy. Yeah, and I remember sitting

429
00:21:05,344 --> 00:21:07,944
Speaker 1: in there and I was eating cold Chinese food and

430
00:21:08,024 --> 00:21:09,504
Speaker 1: I was sitting in the middle of the living room,

431
00:21:09,544 --> 00:21:11,624
Speaker 1: and I just started laughing because I was like, you're

432
00:21:11,864 --> 00:21:15,104
Speaker 1: so athletic, and you would be considered a mandingo back

433
00:21:15,144 --> 00:21:18,263
Speaker 1: in the day, and you would have had all the

434
00:21:18,264 --> 00:21:21,424
Speaker 1: best men on the plantation because they'd be trying to

435
00:21:21,424 --> 00:21:26,264
Speaker 1: make a superior black person. And you know, I would

436
00:21:26,304 --> 00:21:28,543
Speaker 1: have all the dope ones. I would have a denze

437
00:21:28,704 --> 00:21:30,784
Speaker 1: or I would have shag. And I was just laughing

438
00:21:30,784 --> 00:21:32,944
Speaker 1: because I was like, that's hilarious. You should do that

439
00:21:32,944 --> 00:21:35,064
Speaker 1: as a joke, or you should give that to Whoopi

440
00:21:35,104 --> 00:21:37,784
Speaker 1: Goldberg when you meet her. Okay, that's why I was writing,

441
00:21:38,064 --> 00:21:40,704
Speaker 1: and that was I didn't do that joke until fifteen

442
00:21:40,784 --> 00:21:44,344
Speaker 1: years later, wow, because I wasn't smart enough to do

443
00:21:44,384 --> 00:21:47,064
Speaker 1: it on stage to make it unoffensive. And at the

444
00:21:47,064 --> 00:21:49,224
Speaker 1: time when I started doing it, I didn't care to

445
00:21:49,264 --> 00:21:51,344
Speaker 1: be if I was offensive or not because I thought

446
00:21:51,424 --> 00:21:54,104
Speaker 1: it was a great premise. I never thought it was

447
00:21:54,144 --> 00:21:56,184
Speaker 1: going to be taking away that it is even when

448
00:21:56,264 --> 00:21:58,824
Speaker 1: I did the even when I still do interviews about it.

449
00:21:58,984 --> 00:22:01,544
Speaker 1: I did an interview with Terray and Terrey was like

450
00:22:02,104 --> 00:22:04,944
Speaker 1: really emotional about it. He was like, I hate that

451
00:22:05,024 --> 00:22:07,744
Speaker 1: you feel that way about yourself. And I just looked

452
00:22:07,784 --> 00:22:10,504
Speaker 1: at him and I go, I don't understand that because

453
00:22:10,824 --> 00:22:12,944
Speaker 1: if we and I looked at him and I said,

454
00:22:12,984 --> 00:22:16,664
Speaker 1: if we were to quantum leap back right now, what

455
00:22:16,824 --> 00:22:19,784
Speaker 1: is the realization? You would be in the house because

456
00:22:19,784 --> 00:22:23,824
Speaker 1: you got that no real talk, and I would be

457
00:22:24,144 --> 00:22:27,704
Speaker 1: in the field. I would be I'm big, I'm six

458
00:22:27,744 --> 00:22:30,424
Speaker 1: feet tall, I'm strong. What would I be? This is

459
00:22:30,464 --> 00:22:32,864
Speaker 1: not me making fun of myself. Now you feel bad

460
00:22:32,904 --> 00:22:36,304
Speaker 1: about your exactly, And I didn't understand that. People don't

461
00:22:36,384 --> 00:22:39,824
Speaker 1: understand that, And it just made it go like, Okay,

462
00:22:39,864 --> 00:22:42,744
Speaker 1: from now on, I'm really gonna write smart stuff.

463
00:22:42,984 --> 00:22:45,184
Speaker 2: I mean I just remember watching it and the thing

464
00:22:45,224 --> 00:22:47,224
Speaker 2: that I felt. And this is the big challenge of

465
00:22:47,264 --> 00:22:49,464
Speaker 2: us now. And I've never been on SNL, never been

466
00:22:49,584 --> 00:22:52,624
Speaker 2: forced to audition, you know, I never got anywhere close

467
00:22:52,664 --> 00:22:53,824
Speaker 2: to it. But I know a lot of friends who

468
00:22:53,824 --> 00:22:55,864
Speaker 2: have been on it and read Budge of Snow books

469
00:22:55,864 --> 00:22:59,384
Speaker 2: as a fan as a kid. Is that that format

470
00:22:59,744 --> 00:23:01,744
Speaker 2: just distorts people in a way that if you're a

471
00:23:01,784 --> 00:23:04,664
Speaker 2: stand up on stage doing that joke, it's your environment

472
00:23:05,024 --> 00:23:06,864
Speaker 2: and you run it and people sort of play by

473
00:23:06,864 --> 00:23:09,344
Speaker 2: your rules in that moment. But on SNL, you're something

474
00:23:09,344 --> 00:23:12,064
Speaker 2: on the set of Weekend Update and you're framed by

475
00:23:12,144 --> 00:23:14,624
Speaker 2: all this, you know, And I'm.

476
00:23:14,464 --> 00:23:17,544
Speaker 1: Gonna say you they they didn't write it with the

477
00:23:17,584 --> 00:23:21,584
Speaker 1: way that it was written before. If I hadn't changed, y'all,

478
00:23:21,624 --> 00:23:24,944
Speaker 1: you think you would have been pissed, make it funnier.

479
00:23:25,304 --> 00:23:27,304
Speaker 1: And they went to a whole different place that the

480
00:23:27,384 --> 00:23:30,904
Speaker 1: joke wasn't at. And I remember, I remember we were

481
00:23:30,944 --> 00:23:35,104
Speaker 1: at rehearsal and I looked at Chay and I remember

482
00:23:35,144 --> 00:23:37,744
Speaker 1: Brian tuckan I said, you guys, I don't want to

483
00:23:37,784 --> 00:23:40,584
Speaker 1: do it because we're not doing the joke. If we're

484
00:23:40,584 --> 00:23:43,664
Speaker 1: gonna rewrite, then let's not do it. And they and

485
00:23:43,664 --> 00:23:46,104
Speaker 1: and Brian Tucker looked at me, and he looked at you,

486
00:23:46,224 --> 00:23:48,384
Speaker 1: and he said, Chaye, take her into that room and

487
00:23:48,464 --> 00:23:50,944
Speaker 1: you write word for word what the joke is. And

488
00:23:50,944 --> 00:23:53,504
Speaker 1: how long had you been on NLT that point. I

489
00:23:53,624 --> 00:23:56,424
Speaker 1: wasn't Audis and I was a writer. That's that's what

490
00:23:56,464 --> 00:23:59,504
Speaker 1: I remember you. I was a writer when I was bombed.

491
00:23:59,544 --> 00:24:01,744
Speaker 1: I was like in the elevator one day on a Wednesday,

492
00:24:01,784 --> 00:24:04,624
Speaker 1: we call it ass Wednesday when all your sketches get killed.

493
00:24:05,064 --> 00:24:07,624
Speaker 1: And I was in the elevator and Higgins was in

494
00:24:07,664 --> 00:24:09,704
Speaker 1: the elevator and I broke down crying. I was like,

495
00:24:09,864 --> 00:24:13,424
Speaker 1: I'm bombing, I'm bombing on SNL. I want to go

496
00:24:13,464 --> 00:24:15,024
Speaker 1: back to being a comedian. I don't want to do

497
00:24:15,064 --> 00:24:17,384
Speaker 1: this no more. And he was like, go home, get

498
00:24:17,384 --> 00:24:19,784
Speaker 1: something to eat, get some sleep. You're gonna be fine.

499
00:24:20,184 --> 00:24:22,544
Speaker 1: And I remember Lindsay shuk Is pulling me to the

500
00:24:22,584 --> 00:24:24,664
Speaker 1: side and she was like, you know, we're getting you

501
00:24:24,704 --> 00:24:27,023
Speaker 1: ready for an update and stuff. So I was like, okay,

502
00:24:27,104 --> 00:24:29,344
Speaker 1: Well then that started made me go okay, all right,

503
00:24:29,664 --> 00:24:31,864
Speaker 1: they have a goal for me. And then I think

504
00:24:31,864 --> 00:24:33,624
Speaker 1: maybe a week lady, they called me in the office

505
00:24:33,664 --> 00:24:35,064
Speaker 1: and was like, yo, we want you to do an

506
00:24:35,104 --> 00:24:37,664
Speaker 1: update and I was like, which one y'all want me

507
00:24:37,664 --> 00:24:38,984
Speaker 1: to do? And they was like, oh, we want you

508
00:24:39,024 --> 00:24:41,144
Speaker 1: to do because at the time that's why I caught

509
00:24:41,144 --> 00:24:43,024
Speaker 1: it was a slave joke. The slave joke and the

510
00:24:43,024 --> 00:24:45,784
Speaker 1: texta jokes. I said, those are two different jokes. Which

511
00:24:45,784 --> 00:24:47,024
Speaker 1: one do you want me to do? And they just

512
00:24:47,184 --> 00:24:49,104
Speaker 1: they just was required And I said, you want me

513
00:24:49,104 --> 00:24:51,704
Speaker 1: to do the slave joke and they was like yeah,

514
00:24:51,824 --> 00:24:54,864
Speaker 1: and I was like, yeah, let's do it. Yeah, you know,

515
00:24:55,344 --> 00:24:58,304
Speaker 1: because it's at that and my brother had already died.

516
00:24:58,624 --> 00:25:00,704
Speaker 1: That's when I really started doing a lot of stuff

517
00:25:00,704 --> 00:25:02,744
Speaker 1: that I was like, oh, I'm about to die, so

518
00:25:02,864 --> 00:25:04,864
Speaker 1: let me get all this material out that I've been

519
00:25:04,944 --> 00:25:07,424
Speaker 1: trying to do. And I just didn't care. I was

520
00:25:07,504 --> 00:25:11,424
Speaker 1: so on a mission. I was a mission just like, Okay,

521
00:25:11,624 --> 00:25:13,584
Speaker 1: all the stuff that I've been writing for other people,

522
00:25:13,824 --> 00:25:16,184
Speaker 1: I think I've actually been writing it for myself, So

523
00:25:16,384 --> 00:25:17,904
Speaker 1: let me just do it. If it's not good, then

524
00:25:17,904 --> 00:25:19,784
Speaker 1: it's gonna be. But I was like in a in

525
00:25:19,904 --> 00:25:24,104
Speaker 1: a mode of like I'm becoming now, I'm crossing over

526
00:25:24,144 --> 00:25:25,024
Speaker 1: to be a samurai.

527
00:25:25,104 --> 00:25:27,064
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's I mean, that's the thing that it's

528
00:25:27,104 --> 00:25:29,184
Speaker 2: a comedy. You come to point like fuck it, I'm

529
00:25:29,224 --> 00:25:31,184
Speaker 2: gonna do the way I want to do it. Literally

530
00:25:31,384 --> 00:25:34,224
Speaker 2: was like or waiting for the right moment.

531
00:25:34,304 --> 00:25:36,304
Speaker 1: And that's when I started wearing my mohawk too. I

532
00:25:36,344 --> 00:25:40,144
Speaker 1: didn't care about nothing. I cared about nothing at that time. Yeah.

533
00:25:40,424 --> 00:25:42,424
Speaker 2: So this is the thing about you that again, I'm

534
00:25:42,424 --> 00:25:44,784
Speaker 2: still giving your flowers. That was very clear from the

535
00:25:44,864 --> 00:25:47,023
Speaker 2: very beginning of seeing you on TV that you are

536
00:25:47,064 --> 00:25:50,704
Speaker 2: a fighter, you're a survivor, and you're for damn sure,

537
00:25:50,704 --> 00:25:52,224
Speaker 2: you're going to have a good time while you're fighting

538
00:25:52,224 --> 00:25:52,824
Speaker 2: and surviving.

539
00:25:53,584 --> 00:25:56,104
Speaker 1: It's the only way to live life. I think that

540
00:25:56,224 --> 00:25:59,784
Speaker 1: everybody's not realizing that this is not going to happen again.

541
00:26:00,984 --> 00:26:03,224
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think people really live their life

542
00:26:03,344 --> 00:26:06,544
Speaker 1: like this is just and and listen, that may be true,

543
00:26:07,744 --> 00:26:09,544
Speaker 1: but you're not going to live this life again. You're

544
00:26:09,584 --> 00:26:12,624
Speaker 1: going to live a different life and it's just you only,

545
00:26:12,824 --> 00:26:15,424
Speaker 1: and that cliche thing of people saying you only live

546
00:26:15,504 --> 00:26:18,263
Speaker 1: with that shit, take that shit to heart, man like.

547
00:26:18,464 --> 00:26:21,544
Speaker 1: And I had to come like, especially after my mom

548
00:26:21,584 --> 00:26:25,344
Speaker 1: and my dad died six months within each other. This

549
00:26:25,464 --> 00:26:29,984
Speaker 1: was in two thousand, two thousand and two thousand and one,

550
00:26:30,544 --> 00:26:35,184
Speaker 1: and then ten years later my brother died and then

551
00:26:35,224 --> 00:26:38,784
Speaker 1: I was just like, oh, okay, well this is a script.

552
00:26:38,784 --> 00:26:41,184
Speaker 1: This is they're not coming back. This is not a script.

553
00:26:41,224 --> 00:26:44,344
Speaker 1: This is this is an on living life. So what

554
00:26:44,424 --> 00:26:47,543
Speaker 1: do you want to do? And I knew that I

555
00:26:47,544 --> 00:26:50,184
Speaker 1: wanted to be a comedian. And as far as the

556
00:26:50,184 --> 00:26:53,744
Speaker 1: fighting part and the fearless part, I don't understand that

557
00:26:53,824 --> 00:26:56,624
Speaker 1: because I've always been that way. I don't understand. I

558
00:26:56,664 --> 00:27:00,824
Speaker 1: don't don't understand that concept. The only thing that I

559
00:27:00,824 --> 00:27:03,544
Speaker 1: could tell people is that it's more scared for me

560
00:27:03,664 --> 00:27:05,464
Speaker 1: not to do it than to do it. That's what

561
00:27:05,504 --> 00:27:05,744
Speaker 1: I mean.

562
00:27:05,784 --> 00:27:08,064
Speaker 2: That's what I feel is that it's like if I

563
00:27:08,184 --> 00:27:11,384
Speaker 2: silence myself, that I've already done that, and you're going

564
00:27:11,424 --> 00:27:13,544
Speaker 2: to try to do already done what they want to.

565
00:27:13,864 --> 00:27:16,064
Speaker 2: I'm giving you what you want, so I'm not gonna

566
00:27:16,544 --> 00:27:18,064
Speaker 2: have to You got to tell me to be quiet,

567
00:27:18,064 --> 00:27:19,064
Speaker 2: and now we get real loud.

568
00:27:19,184 --> 00:27:21,784
Speaker 1: Yeah. So at that time when they got me, like

569
00:27:21,824 --> 00:27:24,504
Speaker 1: when I started wearing my mohawk, I think, I think

570
00:27:24,584 --> 00:27:28,744
Speaker 1: that's really when things started. I remember the day that

571
00:27:28,864 --> 00:27:31,064
Speaker 1: I decided to wear the mohawk because my brother had

572
00:27:31,144 --> 00:27:33,424
Speaker 1: just died and I was laying in the living room

573
00:27:33,464 --> 00:27:35,944
Speaker 1: on the floor just I wasn't getting up. I had

574
00:27:35,944 --> 00:27:38,704
Speaker 1: decided I'm not getting up. They just gonna find me here.

575
00:27:39,384 --> 00:27:42,024
Speaker 1: They just gonna find me here. And my phone kept

576
00:27:42,144 --> 00:27:44,184
Speaker 1: fucking texting, and I was like, who the fuck is

577
00:27:44,224 --> 00:27:46,864
Speaker 1: truxting me? And then I looked at the phone that

578
00:27:46,984 --> 00:27:49,744
Speaker 1: was Ian Edwards and he was like, I don't think

579
00:27:49,824 --> 00:27:52,344
Speaker 1: an even noticed I was. He was like, yo, yo,

580
00:27:52,464 --> 00:27:54,664
Speaker 1: I need a replacement. I got seventy five dollars for you.

581
00:27:54,704 --> 00:27:58,264
Speaker 1: I was like, and then the other part of me

582
00:27:58,344 --> 00:28:00,184
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, bitch, and you need to take a bath,

583
00:28:00,344 --> 00:28:03,224
Speaker 1: like you need to talk about you. Yeah, you need

584
00:28:03,224 --> 00:28:05,904
Speaker 1: to take a bath. And I'm hungry as fuck, yore

585
00:28:06,024 --> 00:28:08,464
Speaker 1: like you've been laying here for a while whole. So

586
00:28:08,544 --> 00:28:10,944
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, seventy five dollars and I

587
00:28:11,144 --> 00:28:12,344
Speaker 1: was just in the mood of like I don't give

588
00:28:12,344 --> 00:28:13,944
Speaker 1: a fuck what I'm gonna do. And I went to

589
00:28:13,984 --> 00:28:16,104
Speaker 1: the bathroom. My hair had just got permed and cut,

590
00:28:16,344 --> 00:28:18,424
Speaker 1: but usually I curl it, but it was like a

591
00:28:18,624 --> 00:28:22,064
Speaker 1: dope ass hawk, and I was like that shit, look dope,

592
00:28:22,104 --> 00:28:23,624
Speaker 1: I'm wearing it like this. I I don't feel like

593
00:28:23,664 --> 00:28:26,904
Speaker 1: hom my hair. Where had you ever liked mohawks? Or

594
00:28:27,464 --> 00:28:30,504
Speaker 1: I have a reference for anything. I don't think I

595
00:28:30,664 --> 00:28:34,184
Speaker 1: understood I am not my hair until that moment. I

596
00:28:34,264 --> 00:28:39,704
Speaker 1: understood don King, I understood Patty LaBelle. I understood everybody

597
00:28:39,864 --> 00:28:41,584
Speaker 1: at that moment when I decided to where that.

598
00:28:41,904 --> 00:28:44,424
Speaker 2: People who bade some bold hair choices, and I was like,

599
00:28:44,504 --> 00:28:46,744
Speaker 2: I never thought that I would be this person. And

600
00:28:46,824 --> 00:28:49,664
Speaker 2: I wore it with pride, even when black girls would

601
00:28:49,704 --> 00:28:51,384
Speaker 2: be like, you're about to curl your hair, No, bitch,

602
00:28:51,784 --> 00:28:54,224
Speaker 2: this is the hair look out of here. I remember

603
00:28:54,224 --> 00:28:56,384
Speaker 2: I went to the Olympics and this hairdresser was like, Oh,

Speaker 1: So I'm here. So yeah, and I went down. I

607
00:29:06,064 --> 00:29:08,664
Speaker 1: remember going down to the comedy store and I had

608
00:29:08,704 --> 00:29:11,664
Speaker 1: on this long black cardigan and I walked in and

609
00:29:11,824 --> 00:29:14,904

613
00:29:23,904 --> 00:29:27,504
Speaker 1: and ripped. I ripped. It was out of rage, it

614
00:29:27,544 --> 00:29:29,544
Speaker 1: was out and it felt so good. I was like,

615
00:29:29,984 --> 00:29:32,424
Speaker 1: this is how I'm gonna fucking be able to survive. Yeah,

616
00:29:32,464 --> 00:29:33,384
Speaker 1: you're one of those community.

617
00:29:33,384 --> 00:29:36,864
Speaker 2: It's another more flowers for you that when you kill

618
00:29:36,944 --> 00:29:39,104
Speaker 2: what you do offense, it's not a unique thing for you,

619
00:29:39,424 --> 00:29:41,704
Speaker 2: but like it's more than just the jokes are going over.

620
00:29:41,824 --> 00:29:44,344
Speaker 2: It's that you are like holding people's souls in there.

621
00:29:44,544 --> 00:29:46,824
Speaker 2: They like are connecting with you. It's like a very

622
00:29:46,904 --> 00:29:49,664
Speaker 2: like I am with this person. Like I watched your

623
00:29:49,664 --> 00:29:52,504
Speaker 2: special uh that which I just watched it this morning

624
00:29:52,504 --> 00:29:54,344
Speaker 2: because I haven't seen it yet. Yeah, and I was

625
00:29:54,384 --> 00:29:56,664
Speaker 2: just like, it's a different type of comedian where it's

626
00:29:56,704 --> 00:29:58,704
Speaker 2: like the jokes are the jokes, and the jokes are good.

627
00:29:58,704 --> 00:30:00,624
Speaker 2: The jokes are, but it's also like the audience is

628
00:30:00,664 --> 00:30:02,784
Speaker 2: in there, like riding the wave with you. Wait till

629
00:30:02,824 --> 00:30:03,864
Speaker 2: you see the new set.

630
00:30:03,984 --> 00:30:11,344
Speaker 1: Okay. Oh, so it's it's when I do comedy, have

631
00:30:11,384 --> 00:30:14,624
Speaker 1: a mission. I love to make people laugh about things

632
00:30:14,624 --> 00:30:17,864
Speaker 1: that they're in pain about because it's all funny. At

633
00:30:17,904 --> 00:30:20,104
Speaker 1: the end of the day, God is laughing at all

634
00:30:20,104 --> 00:30:23,744
Speaker 1: of us. See you still working on it. I'm still

635
00:30:23,744 --> 00:30:27,064
Speaker 1: working on It's called that I'm hot. I'm hot. It's

636
00:30:27,104 --> 00:30:31,064
Speaker 1: because I'm hot. I'm hot. I'm hot as a person

637
00:30:31,144 --> 00:30:36,304
Speaker 1: and these jokes is hot. So it's so good. But yeah,

638
00:30:36,704 --> 00:30:39,744
Speaker 1: I've always been that person performing because that's how I

639
00:30:39,824 --> 00:30:43,624
Speaker 1: received comedy. Richard Pryor, I don't know. I saw a

640
00:30:43,704 --> 00:30:44,544
Speaker 1: lot of that in the special.

641
00:30:44,624 --> 00:30:47,264
Speaker 2: I saw that influence a lot in the in the

642
00:30:47,304 --> 00:30:50,224
Speaker 2: storytelling and the times when you got real vulnerable, Like

643
00:30:50,224 --> 00:30:52,664
Speaker 2: you had a line where you said, you can't be

644
00:30:52,704 --> 00:30:54,424
Speaker 2: a success until you fail, And I.

645
00:30:54,344 --> 00:30:58,424
Speaker 1: Think, isn't that truth? But I understand I think everybody

646
00:30:58,584 --> 00:31:00,704
Speaker 1: is in this society. Is this whole thing that we're

647
00:31:00,744 --> 00:31:03,824
Speaker 1: going through right now is about such an uneven of

648
00:31:03,904 --> 00:31:07,704
Speaker 1: balance and that you don't understand that both things need

649
00:31:07,744 --> 00:31:10,624
Speaker 1: to happen. I hate when people be like, oh, well,

650
00:31:10,864 --> 00:31:12,944
Speaker 1: if there's a god, why would he let this happen

651
00:31:12,984 --> 00:31:15,464
Speaker 1: in woo woo woop. It rains on the just as

652
00:31:15,504 --> 00:31:18,544
Speaker 1: well as the unjust. You have to have hate to

653
00:31:18,704 --> 00:31:22,184
Speaker 1: understand unhate. Does that make sense? Like you have to

654
00:31:22,184 --> 00:31:25,224
Speaker 1: have pain to understand, not pain, Like you don't even

655
00:31:25,304 --> 00:31:29,224
Speaker 1: understand what happiness is until you sad. And you won't

656
00:31:29,304 --> 00:31:32,944
Speaker 1: understand success until you have failed. You won't even appreciate it.

657
00:31:33,024 --> 00:31:36,664
Speaker 1: You won't even recognize it because success is it. Do

658
00:31:36,744 --> 00:31:38,744
Speaker 1: you get what I'm saying? It's something you earn. We

659
00:31:38,744 --> 00:31:40,984
Speaker 1: were just talking about this. It's like whenever you see

660
00:31:41,064 --> 00:31:43,864
Speaker 1: somebody back in the day be famous, it wasn't because

661
00:31:43,904 --> 00:31:46,624
Speaker 1: of an Instagram post. It was because of hard work

662
00:31:47,264 --> 00:31:51,024
Speaker 1: and appreciation for the art, you know. And I just

663
00:31:51,064 --> 00:31:53,424
Speaker 1: think that that's what everybody have to understand, is that

664
00:31:53,464 --> 00:31:56,504
Speaker 1: it's not gonna always be good. You have to have bad.

665
00:31:56,824 --> 00:31:59,064
Speaker 1: You have to go through bombs, you have to bomb

666
00:31:59,344 --> 00:32:03,504
Speaker 1: to be able to crush it's Yan and yang. That

667
00:32:03,584 --> 00:32:06,464
Speaker 1: shit is a real thing. I hate when when we

668
00:32:06,504 --> 00:32:08,984
Speaker 1: don't have to go through that, know, then you're gonna

669
00:32:09,024 --> 00:32:12,344
Speaker 1: be a nothing ass paper And like everything in our

670
00:32:12,344 --> 00:32:14,784
Speaker 1: life has been lessons to teach us. The Three Pigs,

671
00:32:15,144 --> 00:32:19,464
Speaker 1: Oh wow, literally, the Three Pigs show you that grass

672
00:32:19,504 --> 00:32:24,784
Speaker 1: and dirt and rocks don't work. It's all brick. It's

673
00:32:24,824 --> 00:32:30,304
Speaker 1: all brick foundation. It's not it's not just some rattles wood. Yeah,

674
00:32:30,544 --> 00:32:33,384
Speaker 1: Like you're gonna be able to put me anywhere because

675
00:32:33,424 --> 00:32:39,584
Speaker 1: I've been everywhere. My my accomplishments and my failure should

676
00:32:39,624 --> 00:32:43,024
Speaker 1: be your food. Because that's what I got from Richard

677
00:32:43,024 --> 00:32:45,984
Speaker 1: Pryor that's what I got from Moms Mayley. That's why

678
00:32:46,024 --> 00:32:49,104
Speaker 1: I got some from simply Marvelous who people don't understand

679
00:32:49,104 --> 00:32:50,824
Speaker 1: you used to go out in the audience, and that's

680
00:32:50,864 --> 00:32:52,544
Speaker 1: who taught me how to go out in the audience.

681
00:32:52,704 --> 00:32:56,984
Speaker 1: Who or or you know Renawal Though like comics that

682
00:32:57,064 --> 00:33:00,544
Speaker 1: y'all don't understand that. I sometimes worry about these comics

683
00:33:00,584 --> 00:33:02,664
Speaker 1: because I don't feel like they'll ever be the best

684
00:33:02,664 --> 00:33:05,624
Speaker 1: comics because they're not going but then they are going

685
00:33:05,624 --> 00:33:08,144
Speaker 1: through their own thing. But it's like the things we

686
00:33:08,424 --> 00:33:11,864
Speaker 1: got to go through, like performing in the club that

687
00:33:12,024 --> 00:33:15,464
Speaker 1: has this size stage and the mic is coming from

688
00:33:15,464 --> 00:33:18,104
Speaker 1: the ceiling, what you're gonna do?

689
00:33:18,264 --> 00:33:20,184
Speaker 2: And and the crowd didn't know there's gonna be a

690
00:33:20,224 --> 00:33:21,744
Speaker 2: comedy show and they want.

691
00:33:21,624 --> 00:33:24,264
Speaker 1: To better not going there with no fucking crowd work

692
00:33:24,624 --> 00:33:28,384
Speaker 1: in the Bronx. They'll tear your ass up. You will.

693
00:33:28,504 --> 00:33:30,984
Speaker 1: You will leave their in tears because they will start

694
00:33:31,504 --> 00:33:36,544
Speaker 1: what don't ask me? Do your act? Do your act? Yeah?

695
00:33:37,264 --> 00:33:41,384
Speaker 1: They be yeah, yeah, And that's what I listen. CrowdWork

696
00:33:41,464 --> 00:33:45,224
Speaker 1: is great, of course, CrowdWork. Crowd work is like, okay,

697
00:33:45,264 --> 00:33:47,904
Speaker 1: if I have to explained it, like a doctor, CrowdWork

698
00:33:47,984 --> 00:33:52,304
Speaker 1: is like doing stitches. It's just something that you can

699
00:33:52,424 --> 00:33:54,304
Speaker 1: use if you need to use it. Doctors when they're

700
00:33:54,344 --> 00:33:55,744
Speaker 1: doing that, they don't have to think about it too much.

701
00:33:57,024 --> 00:33:58,704
Speaker 1: Bless it be the name. I don't know why I

702
00:33:58,784 --> 00:34:01,064
Speaker 1: keep saying that, But I don't know why I keep

703
00:34:01,104 --> 00:34:03,784
Speaker 1: saying that. It's just coming out of my mouth. But yeah,

704
00:34:04,064 --> 00:34:06,584
Speaker 1: but when they like, like, you gotta be able to

705
00:34:06,584 --> 00:34:08,904
Speaker 1: do all of that. That's why I got heart surgery.

706
00:34:09,024 --> 00:34:12,464
Speaker 1: You and I always tell everybody. I always tell everybody

707
00:34:12,704 --> 00:34:15,143
Speaker 1: those people that you see doing that crowd work when

708
00:34:15,183 --> 00:34:17,384
Speaker 1: I'm on the road with them, Yeah, I gotta do

709
00:34:17,504 --> 00:34:20,544
Speaker 1: like twenty minutes more, you know, because they don't know

710
00:34:20,584 --> 00:34:25,223
Speaker 1: how to feel a whole set, because y'all think that

711
00:34:25,303 --> 00:34:28,904
Speaker 1: a whole set is just jokes. It's not. It's a

712
00:34:29,064 --> 00:34:34,384
Speaker 1: whole building of a relationship with someone. See, they already

713
00:34:34,384 --> 00:34:37,703
Speaker 1: come to see you, so they already like you. Now

714
00:34:37,743 --> 00:34:39,544
Speaker 1: they want to see. It's like if you was on

715
00:34:39,663 --> 00:34:41,984
Speaker 1: dating online and you be on line with them, or

716
00:34:42,024 --> 00:34:43,744
Speaker 1: you be on the phone with them, and you'd be like, Okay,

717
00:34:43,944 --> 00:34:46,024
Speaker 1: this is so cool online and on the phone, ball

718
00:34:46,183 --> 00:34:48,863
Speaker 1: when we in person are we go on groove because

719
00:34:48,904 --> 00:34:51,984
Speaker 1: it's gonna change. It's gonna change, and it's gonna be shocking.

720
00:34:52,064 --> 00:34:56,183
Speaker 1: Because I think that's also a thing too with celebrity

721
00:34:56,263 --> 00:34:58,543
Speaker 1: or whatever. They see you and they go, oh, wow,

722
00:34:58,623 --> 00:35:01,223
Speaker 1: she's really here. So you need to give them five

723
00:35:01,263 --> 00:35:03,904
Speaker 1: minutes for that, you know. Like the best thing is

724
00:35:03,904 --> 00:35:06,743
Speaker 1: when Prince did that little sketch when they were like

725
00:35:06,783 --> 00:35:08,343
Speaker 1: standing there and he was like, oh, I'm sorry I

726
00:35:08,384 --> 00:35:11,424
Speaker 1: didn't give you their appropriate time to freak out on me,

727
00:35:11,504 --> 00:35:14,703
Speaker 1: and it was like and I was like, yes, yes,

728
00:35:15,703 --> 00:35:18,343
Speaker 1: you need to let people take it in. Oh my god,

00:35:57,183 --> 00:35:58,584
Speaker 2: So first of all, I want to say that we

738
00:36:01,783 --> 00:36:04,304

Speaker 1: I was like, what's two thousand and I was thirty.

768
00:37:40,424 --> 00:37:42,343
Speaker 2: I was in my late maybe I was forty, but

769
00:37:42,384 --> 00:37:44,584
Speaker 2: I was definitely like too old to be new, you

00:37:44,663 --> 00:37:45,143

772
00:37:48,183 --> 00:37:51,304
Speaker 1: me do the math. Here real quick. So, uh, I

773
00:37:51,303 --> 00:37:52,623
Speaker 1: I was thirty nine when I got my show.

774
00:37:52,623 --> 00:37:55,863
Speaker 2: I'm fifty three, so I'm older than you. Y, we're

775
00:37:55,904 --> 00:37:58,423
Speaker 2: the same age, We're the same on the ARP.

776
00:37:58,743 --> 00:38:00,544
Speaker 1: Do you know? I had to tell Higgins that. One

777
00:38:00,584 --> 00:38:02,464
Speaker 1: day he was talking to me. I said, Hey, I

778
00:38:02,464 --> 00:38:05,104
Speaker 1: ain't want these motherfucking kids. Well, we feel not an

Speaker 1: insurance form me and you fill out the same box,

780
00:38:07,663 --> 00:38:10,503
Speaker 1: same box, So you better fucking check your motherfucking tongue

781
00:38:10,584 --> 00:38:13,823
Speaker 1: because I'm not your fucking child. That's exactly Righty's something

782
00:38:13,824 --> 00:38:15,104
Speaker 1: to me. I ain't speak there for a week. He

783
00:38:15,183 --> 00:38:16,904
Speaker 1: was like, why you're not talking to me? I said, motherfucker,

784
00:38:16,904 --> 00:38:20,303
Speaker 1: because you got me fucked up. Yep, yep. I would

785
00:38:20,504 --> 00:38:23,104
Speaker 1: love it, Higgins. Though I love Higgins. Troy, I'm gonna

786
00:38:23,104 --> 00:38:27,064
Speaker 1: clean that up, but I do love Higgins. He's look, hey,

787
00:38:27,143 --> 00:38:29,064
Speaker 1: then are we talking about it? And and that's so

788
00:38:29,104 --> 00:38:31,904
Speaker 1: funny because that's what Lauren loved about me, is that

789
00:38:31,944 --> 00:38:34,663
Speaker 1: I was grown. Like he does like the kids because

790
00:38:34,703 --> 00:38:36,504
Speaker 1: he can formed them with whatever. But I think he

791
00:38:36,703 --> 00:38:39,143
Speaker 1: liked that I was grown because he knew that I

792
00:38:39,223 --> 00:38:41,504
Speaker 1: knew what to do. Like he would invite me to

793
00:38:41,703 --> 00:38:43,383
Speaker 1: a lot of places because he knew I was gonna

794
00:38:43,384 --> 00:38:48,143
Speaker 1: show up. Shark. Oh, that was one time. I will

795
00:38:48,263 --> 00:38:50,744
Speaker 1: never forget this. I hope I can tell the story.

796
00:38:50,783 --> 00:38:52,544

Speaker 1: table we was at. I remember because back and Kyle

809
00:39:42,104 --> 00:39:44,064
Speaker 1: was sitting right here, and I think Chay was sitting

Speaker 1: I know, you know, Lauren hangs around another pa billionaires.

813
00:39:55,024 --> 00:39:56,944
Speaker 1: And let me tell you something. Come on, I'm like

814
00:39:56,984 --> 00:39:58,944
Speaker 1: from old school. I know how to make all of

00:39:58,944 --> 00:40:02,943
Speaker 1: them feel like man, like, I'm such a that's such

816
00:40:02,944 --> 00:40:07,104
Speaker 1: a charmer, you know. So I walk in and Lauren

817
00:40:07,263 --> 00:40:09,623
Speaker 1: immediately was like, everybody moved. I want her to sit

818
00:40:09,663 --> 00:40:15,743
Speaker 1: by me. Now, everybody, everybody, everybody move, move And I

819
00:40:15,824 --> 00:40:18,743
Speaker 1: just remember and then you do stuff like that. You know.

820
00:40:18,864 --> 00:40:20,783
Speaker 1: This is why I tell everybody there's a certain time

821
00:40:20,824 --> 00:40:23,663
Speaker 1: to have to play an ego and like, let me

822
00:40:23,703 --> 00:40:25,903
Speaker 1: make your play for you. You want some of this?

823
00:40:26,223 --> 00:40:28,623
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you want some of this? Like and he's

824
00:40:28,663 --> 00:40:30,383
Speaker 1: just like they're taking pictures and he was like, they

825
00:40:30,464 --> 00:40:32,544
Speaker 1: just love you, Leslie, and I was like, and I

826
00:40:32,584 --> 00:40:36,224
Speaker 1: love this, you know what I'm saying. Like when Russell

827
00:40:36,263 --> 00:40:39,423
Speaker 1: Crow came in, everybody was so mad at Russell because

828
00:40:39,464 --> 00:40:42,504
Speaker 1: they was like, he's so, he's so rude, he's so

829
00:40:42,824 --> 00:40:48,424
Speaker 1: you know, he's being a brute. Yeah, he's a glaudiator,

830
00:40:48,504 --> 00:40:51,263
Speaker 1: Like what did you expect him to act? Like, like,

831
00:40:51,464 --> 00:40:55,904
Speaker 1: oh my god.

832
00:40:56,303 --> 00:40:59,224
Speaker 2: So that's why, And I think you appreciate that because

833
00:40:59,223 --> 00:41:00,703
Speaker 2: this is the other thing I gonna say. I read

834
00:41:00,703 --> 00:41:02,703
Speaker 2: that at some point and this happened. And I only

835
00:41:02,703 --> 00:41:04,383
Speaker 2: bring this up because I went through a point where

836
00:41:04,384 --> 00:41:06,743
Speaker 2: I was doing stand up and I was just like,

837
00:41:06,783 --> 00:41:08,343
Speaker 2: and I wasn't enjoying my career at all.

838
00:41:08,663 --> 00:41:09,823
Speaker 1: And I was like, is this what I do for

839
00:41:09,864 --> 00:41:12,743
Speaker 1: a living? And I take him break in Wianeapolis when

840
00:41:12,743 --> 00:41:15,623
Speaker 1: they paid me in all five dollar bills and I

841
00:41:15,663 --> 00:41:16,944
Speaker 1: was sitting at the end of my bed and they

842
00:41:16,984 --> 00:41:19,504
Speaker 1: almost didn't have the money. They almost didn't It was

843
00:41:19,544 --> 00:41:22,904
Speaker 1: they didn't have the money. This is before, This was

844
00:41:23,024 --> 00:41:25,343
Speaker 1: when after our audition for US, and now I had

845
00:41:25,344 --> 00:41:28,303
Speaker 1: to fly to Innannapolis and do this gig. And I

846
00:41:28,424 --> 00:41:31,623
Speaker 1: kind of felt after the first time I laid eyes

847
00:41:31,623 --> 00:41:34,383
Speaker 1: on Sashier, I was like, oh, yeah, they're gonna pick her. Yeah,

848
00:41:34,623 --> 00:41:39,264
Speaker 1: she's beautiful. Yeah, God, she's beautiful. Just her smile alone,

849
00:41:39,263 --> 00:41:43,663
Speaker 1: as she's so striking, and she's very intelligent and good

850
00:41:43,743 --> 00:41:45,303
Speaker 1: and maybe and it's sort of like and I mean,

851
00:41:45,303 --> 00:41:47,023
Speaker 1: this is the best way possible, kind of.

852
00:41:46,904 --> 00:41:51,183
Speaker 2: Too good for this world, you know, like we don't

853
00:41:51,223 --> 00:41:54,504
Speaker 2: give her, we don't give and I had a lot

854
00:41:54,544 --> 00:41:55,504
Speaker 2: of space.

855
00:41:55,743 --> 00:41:58,503
Speaker 1: We don't give her enough. They didn't give her enough.

856
00:41:58,584 --> 00:42:01,464
Speaker 1: She wasn't to me. I don't feel like they was

857
00:42:01,504 --> 00:42:04,743
Speaker 1: ready for Sashier. If Sashier came after me, I think

858
00:42:04,783 --> 00:42:07,383
Speaker 1: they would have been ready for that year. So she

859
00:42:07,544 --> 00:42:11,623
Speaker 1: was very, very like she they didn't expect the militant

860
00:42:11,623 --> 00:42:14,664
Speaker 1: that came from her, and that's and that's what broke

861
00:42:14,703 --> 00:42:18,064
Speaker 1: my heart about how they did her sometimes, Like when

862
00:42:18,263 --> 00:42:22,984
Speaker 1: she did uh Maxine Waters, it was one of the best.

863
00:42:23,104 --> 00:42:25,703
Speaker 1: She got us, not a standing, but she got an

864
00:42:25,703 --> 00:42:29,223
Speaker 1: applot at the reading table. It was so good and

865
00:42:29,303 --> 00:42:31,823
Speaker 1: she was so happy and Lauren cut it at the

866
00:42:31,864 --> 00:42:35,823
Speaker 1: last minute. It broke her. Yeah, it broke her and

867
00:42:36,104 --> 00:42:38,584
Speaker 1: you could see it. And I was just like, you

868
00:42:38,623 --> 00:42:40,823
Speaker 1: don't know what to tell somebody because you don't know

869
00:42:41,183 --> 00:42:43,064
Speaker 1: what they want. You're going through and also you're going

870
00:42:43,064 --> 00:42:44,903
Speaker 1: through your own things and I don't know what they

871
00:42:44,944 --> 00:42:47,584
Speaker 1: want because I'm trying to figure out what you know.

872
00:42:47,384 --> 00:42:49,584
Speaker 2: I just remember that I was talking about before you

873
00:42:49,663 --> 00:42:51,703
Speaker 2: got here, and so please feel any things you know

874
00:42:51,743 --> 00:42:52,183
Speaker 2: that I don't know.

875
00:42:52,223 --> 00:42:54,343
Speaker 1: I just remember it. Just the fact it became a

876
00:42:54,464 --> 00:42:55,424
Speaker 1: national news story.

877
00:42:55,424 --> 00:42:58,584
Speaker 2: We talked about on Tony Bias that Sara nill I

878
00:42:58,663 --> 00:43:01,184
Speaker 2: was casting a black woman, and I felt like, whoever

879
00:43:01,223 --> 00:43:03,584
Speaker 2: they cast is going to have more pressure on them

880
00:43:03,944 --> 00:43:06,984
Speaker 2: than every and everybody told me there in the history

881
00:43:07,024 --> 00:43:10,663
Speaker 2: of sarenall everybody no way. I remembers Beck Bennett's start

882
00:43:10,663 --> 00:43:13,064
Speaker 2: on us, and I mean nobody, nobody's like waiting to

883
00:43:13,104 --> 00:43:16,303
Speaker 2: see what uh you know, Sarah Sherman's going to do

884
00:43:16,303 --> 00:43:20,104
Speaker 2: on SNL. These are all funny people, but like, first

885
00:43:20,143 --> 00:43:21,823
Speaker 2: of all, let's say there wasn't all the press. Oh

886
00:43:21,864 --> 00:43:23,544
Speaker 2: black women is going to make a big splash. But

887
00:43:23,584 --> 00:43:26,624
Speaker 2: the fact that everybody's like after years of not having

888
00:43:26,663 --> 00:43:29,903
Speaker 2: a black woman, this is the one that's a lot

889
00:43:29,944 --> 00:43:30,464
Speaker 2: of pressure.

890
00:43:30,584 --> 00:43:34,464
Speaker 1: That's a lot of pressure. And she did well, You're great,

891
00:43:34,544 --> 00:43:37,424
Speaker 1: she was doing well, and it's just like you don't.

892
00:43:38,183 --> 00:43:41,623
Speaker 1: I sometimes feel like too, I bring a presence of

893
00:43:41,743 --> 00:43:45,423
Speaker 1: an artist, of especially a black female artist that they

894
00:43:45,464 --> 00:43:49,584
Speaker 1: go ooh like because I've studied like and you go

895
00:43:49,824 --> 00:43:52,823
Speaker 1: like Lauren Lauren. Literally he was like, I don't know

896
00:43:52,864 --> 00:43:54,904
Speaker 1: what you are, but I want you here, Sar. I

897
00:43:54,944 --> 00:43:57,464
Speaker 1: don't have his history of liking the ball of energy performer.

898
00:43:58,263 --> 00:44:01,784
Speaker 1: You're one of those. See but what they don't expect

899
00:44:01,783 --> 00:44:03,743
Speaker 1: it is to come in the package that it comes out.

900
00:44:03,743 --> 00:44:05,903
Speaker 1: That's the other. And I always say, I was like, yo,

901
00:44:06,143 --> 00:44:08,784
Speaker 1: it might be a black man that be your next

902
00:44:08,824 --> 00:44:11,823
Speaker 1: Will Ferrell or you know, it's it's just like, I

903
00:44:11,944 --> 00:44:14,464
Speaker 1: know what I'm doing, and then I came in there

904
00:44:14,504 --> 00:44:19,584
Speaker 1: also very like I am a freelancer. You are signing

905
00:44:19,703 --> 00:44:23,383
Speaker 1: for my talent for a sad amount of time, you know,

906
00:44:23,504 --> 00:44:26,464
Speaker 1: And these are the conditions, Like, I didn't come in

907
00:44:26,504 --> 00:44:27,904
Speaker 1: there with them to create me.

908
00:44:28,104 --> 00:44:32,024
Speaker 2: I came in to use their platform. Well, you also

909
00:44:32,064 --> 00:44:34,143
Speaker 2: did the thing that happens occasionally, but it's not very

910
00:44:34,143 --> 00:44:36,584
Speaker 2: often that you fought that. You basically fought your way

911
00:44:36,584 --> 00:44:38,863
Speaker 2: from writer to cast me. It wasn't even a fight.

912
00:44:38,984 --> 00:44:42,144
Speaker 1: It was more of like, again, my family's all gone,

913
00:44:42,504 --> 00:44:47,263
Speaker 1: I don't give a shit. I have no fucks. So

914
00:44:47,623 --> 00:44:50,784
Speaker 1: I know I'm funny, and I know that's my talent.

915
00:44:51,024 --> 00:44:54,663
Speaker 1: I had already went through the desperation thing, because desperation

916
00:44:54,864 --> 00:44:57,544
Speaker 1: is the first thing someone with talent needs to get

917
00:44:57,623 --> 00:45:00,863
Speaker 1: rid of. You're talented. You're not desperate. When you think

918
00:45:00,904 --> 00:45:03,504
Speaker 1: in a desperate mind, you take on fuck shit. You

919
00:45:03,544 --> 00:45:07,304
Speaker 1: do anything with your talent, don't misuse it. You're fucking talented.

920
00:45:07,384 --> 00:45:10,064
Speaker 1: You're not desperate thinking a different way. When you think

921
00:45:10,104 --> 00:45:12,863
Speaker 1: that way, then you make a different plan. Your life

922
00:45:12,904 --> 00:45:14,823
Speaker 1: is in a different plane. You think, Hey, if i'm

923
00:45:14,864 --> 00:45:17,383
Speaker 1: not paying rent, get a fucking job. And I had

924
00:45:17,504 --> 00:45:20,863
Speaker 1: so many jobs, so I wasn't the one that was like, oh,

925
00:45:21,024 --> 00:45:23,584
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna depend on how fuck that. You don't

926
00:45:23,584 --> 00:45:27,064
Speaker 1: get rich until very much into your career. So get

927
00:45:27,104 --> 00:45:29,943
Speaker 1: a good job, pay your fucking taxes, pay your rent,

928
00:45:30,143 --> 00:45:33,223
Speaker 1: keep health insurance, and keep health insurance. You know what

929
00:45:33,263 --> 00:45:36,224
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like, don't don't don't be don't be dumb.

930
00:45:36,663 --> 00:45:39,944
Speaker 1: Do it's smart, you know. So so I had already

931
00:45:39,944 --> 00:45:42,384
Speaker 1: been through all of that stuff, and it was really

932
00:45:42,464 --> 00:45:46,024
Speaker 1: more of like, oh, I'm not finna sit on y'all

933
00:45:46,104 --> 00:45:48,343
Speaker 1: shelf because y'all don't want to let me go and

934
00:45:48,464 --> 00:45:51,424
Speaker 1: let somebody else get me. So I was I was

935
00:45:51,464 --> 00:45:53,984
Speaker 1: a writer, and I was waiting. I was waiting for

936
00:45:54,223 --> 00:45:56,104
Speaker 1: that call of like, hey, we want to make you

937
00:45:56,143 --> 00:45:58,263
Speaker 1: a cast because I did the update, I was like, oh,

938
00:45:58,303 --> 00:46:02,303
Speaker 1: I know, no IoT to you know. And I got

939
00:46:02,303 --> 00:46:04,663
Speaker 1: the call that, oh they want to give me six updates.

940
00:46:04,864 --> 00:46:06,464
Speaker 1: But then I gotta be kill a cast member, and

941
00:46:06,464 --> 00:46:09,663
Speaker 1: I was like, oh okay. And it was at that

942
00:46:09,743 --> 00:46:15,144
Speaker 1: moment where I was like, okay, okay, what would Michael

943
00:46:15,143 --> 00:46:18,743
Speaker 1: Corleone do? Because you know, I do base a lot

944
00:46:18,783 --> 00:46:24,024
Speaker 1: of my decisions off of the Brothers of Godfather. It's

945
00:46:24,183 --> 00:46:28,303
Speaker 1: more of just like, Okay, I know you think you

946
00:46:28,663 --> 00:46:32,223
Speaker 1: think that I don't know what you're doing, but I do.

947
00:46:32,783 --> 00:46:35,544
Speaker 1: Because it's like when you're watching a movie and a

948
00:46:35,663 --> 00:46:38,944
Speaker 1: robot is like the robot is a weak robot, but

949
00:46:38,944 --> 00:46:41,104
Speaker 1: everybody got all these fancy robots, but he's still trying

950
00:46:41,143 --> 00:46:45,263
Speaker 1: to buy your rat class robot. Does that make sense?

951
00:46:46,064 --> 00:46:48,464
Speaker 1: So I went to my manager and I said at

952
00:46:48,504 --> 00:46:50,544
Speaker 1: the time, and I was like, listen, I know what

953
00:46:50,623 --> 00:46:54,303
Speaker 1: this is. There's a couple of shows asking for me

954
00:46:54,384 --> 00:46:57,263
Speaker 1: right now. Wish there was two broke girls wanted me

955
00:46:57,303 --> 00:46:59,423
Speaker 1: to do something, and I forgot that the other show was,

956
00:46:59,544 --> 00:47:02,504
Speaker 1: but it was something with HBO, And I was like, listen,

957
00:47:02,623 --> 00:47:04,223
Speaker 1: I know what I am. I've already showed them what

958
00:47:04,263 --> 00:47:06,584
Speaker 1: I can do, and I think that there's other avenues.

959
00:47:06,864 --> 00:47:09,263
Speaker 1: So I know you like this Saturday night late and thing,

960
00:47:09,344 --> 00:47:11,864
Speaker 1: but I'm too old. If I was in my thirties,

961
00:47:12,024 --> 00:47:14,464
Speaker 1: we could play this little game, I said, But I'm like,

962
00:47:15,384 --> 00:47:18,264
Speaker 1: up there, they already think I'm the oldest motherfucker. Yeah,

963
00:47:18,303 --> 00:47:21,064
Speaker 1: So if they don't want to have me here, then

964
00:47:21,104 --> 00:47:23,263
Speaker 1: I want to be very graceful in doing it. So

965
00:47:23,344 --> 00:47:25,343
Speaker 1: I remember I think I hit the publicists and I

966
00:47:25,424 --> 00:47:28,943
Speaker 1: was like, hey, listen, tell them I would do the one,

967
00:47:29,183 --> 00:47:32,423
Speaker 1: you know, the opening update. And in my head, I

968
00:47:32,464 --> 00:47:34,544
Speaker 1: was like, I offered that because I want them to see.

969
00:47:35,064 --> 00:47:37,464
Speaker 1: You don't understand that I know what I'm bringing to

970
00:47:37,544 --> 00:47:40,743
Speaker 1: this place. I'm just gonna let you know I know

971
00:47:40,864 --> 00:47:45,024
Speaker 1: what I'm bringing to this place. Right, So I knew

972
00:47:45,183 --> 00:47:47,104
Speaker 1: my lease was up, my lease was gonna be up.

973
00:47:47,183 --> 00:47:50,104
Speaker 1: I just had everything playing I depart. Yeah, I just

974
00:47:50,183 --> 00:47:52,663
Speaker 1: knew that, you know, Okay, this is what you're gonna do.

975
00:47:53,183 --> 00:47:56,384
Speaker 1: And so I told I called. I called the publicists

976
00:47:56,384 --> 00:47:59,064
Speaker 1: and I said, hey, listen, and I wrote this really

977
00:47:59,143 --> 00:48:01,464
Speaker 1: nice letter and stuff, and I said, listen, this experience

978
00:48:01,504 --> 00:48:04,544
Speaker 1: has been so freaking great, Like it's been one of

979
00:48:04,623 --> 00:48:08,024
Speaker 1: the highlights of my life. And I really appreciate the

980
00:48:08,064 --> 00:48:10,903
Speaker 1: platform that you got me. But like, I can't sit

981
00:48:10,944 --> 00:48:15,704
Speaker 1: on the shelf and wait for someone to realize my goals.

982
00:48:15,703 --> 00:48:18,183
Speaker 1: And there's so many other people that's asking for me.

983
00:48:18,223 --> 00:48:20,823
Speaker 1: And I hadn't send it to her yet, right, But

984
00:48:21,104 --> 00:48:24,584
Speaker 1: I think it was like, I went, this is what happened.

985
00:48:24,743 --> 00:48:28,223
Speaker 1: So the first show was Chris Platt. I went and

Speaker 1: or whatever. I didn't know all that was going on,

993
00:48:48,464 --> 00:48:50,183
Speaker 1: but I knew in my head what I had to do.

994
00:48:50,544 --> 00:48:52,504
Speaker 1: So I went to that first show and I was

995
00:48:52,544 --> 00:48:54,303

00:52:04,183 --> 00:52:08,984
Speaker 1: so upset at the table because she was like, I

1069
00:52:09,064 --> 00:52:12,984
Speaker 1: thought I had sex with six Navy seals, but it

1070
00:52:13,064 --> 00:52:17,104
Speaker 1: turned out to be six seals And I said, bitch,

1071
00:52:17,384 --> 00:52:19,543
Speaker 1: you didn't know it was the sale by the second one,

1072
00:52:20,783 --> 00:52:23,343
Speaker 1: and everybody disable fell out, and I was like, what

1073
00:52:23,384 --> 00:52:26,384
Speaker 1: the fuck is happening with their lives? I'm so upset.

1074
00:52:27,143 --> 00:52:29,104
Speaker 1: And then I remember Secy coming up to me after me,

1075
00:52:29,104 --> 00:52:32,023
Speaker 1: and she was like, they're fine, They're gonna be fine.

1076
00:52:32,024 --> 00:52:32,944
Speaker 1: Those girls are fine.

1077
00:52:34,064 --> 00:52:39,384
Speaker 2: You got too caught up in the store characters down, relax.

1078
00:52:39,904 --> 00:52:42,064
Speaker 1: But I was just like, that's and it was almost

1079
00:52:42,104 --> 00:52:44,703
Speaker 1: like they were seeing a real reaction from what the

1080
00:52:44,743 --> 00:52:46,984
Speaker 1: people at the house is going to be doing. Because,

1081
00:52:47,064 --> 00:52:49,463
Speaker 1: trust me, when I didn't laugh, sometimes that sketch didn't

1082
00:52:49,464 --> 00:52:52,783
Speaker 1: get through, and that was oftentimes. And I remember, I'm

1083
00:52:52,783 --> 00:52:54,904
Speaker 1: not gonna even say names, but I remember this dude.

1084
00:52:55,663 --> 00:53:00,143
Speaker 1: He wrote a sketch, and the sketch is not supposed

1085
00:53:00,183 --> 00:53:03,343
Speaker 1: to be longer than six seven pages unless it's a

1086
00:53:03,384 --> 00:53:07,384
Speaker 1: special thing. I think his ship was like twenty one pages,

1087
00:53:08,263 --> 00:53:12,584
Speaker 1: and it was not funny. And we wasted at least

1088
00:53:12,623 --> 00:53:16,143
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes on that sketch. And I remember when we

1089
00:53:16,183 --> 00:53:20,904
Speaker 1: finished reading Everybody's so quiet, everybody always doing that politically correct,

1090
00:53:21,024 --> 00:53:23,624
Speaker 1: and I looked right along. I said, what the fuck

1091
00:53:23,783 --> 00:53:27,863
Speaker 1: was that? Jesus? And because he was like looking like

1092
00:53:27,904 --> 00:53:31,183
Speaker 1: they record that, I don't care, I said, we just wasted.

1093
00:53:31,223 --> 00:53:33,783
Speaker 1: I say, you cut like five sketches for this shit.

1094
00:53:34,104 --> 00:53:36,143
Speaker 1: I was like really mad because I was like, my

1095
00:53:36,223 --> 00:53:39,623
Speaker 1: sketch got cut for this shit, and this shit is

1096
00:53:39,663 --> 00:53:43,024
Speaker 1: not funny. What the fuck is this? And I remember

1097
00:53:43,143 --> 00:53:46,303
Speaker 1: the host bust but everybody just you can just tear

1098
00:53:46,303 --> 00:53:49,504
Speaker 1: everybody fuck like and Kyle was just hitting me on

1099
00:53:49,544 --> 00:53:51,504
Speaker 1: the table like shut up. I was like, fuck that,

1100
00:53:51,663 --> 00:53:55,223
Speaker 1: I'm mad. It's twenty one pages and for real, I

1101
00:53:55,263 --> 00:53:58,544
Speaker 1: didn't get the joke. Even after that, I didn't. I

1102
00:53:58,584 --> 00:54:00,263
Speaker 1: didn't get the joke until the last part and I

1103
00:54:00,344 --> 00:54:03,143
Speaker 1: was like, you wrote twenty one pages to get to that.

1104
00:54:04,024 --> 00:54:06,024
Speaker 2: I was so fucking f that sketch air. You don't

1105
00:54:06,064 --> 00:54:08,463
Speaker 2: have to say nothing. I'm just wenting for there now.

1106
00:54:09,544 --> 00:54:11,863
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I did ask him, and it might have

1107
00:54:12,024 --> 00:54:14,743
Speaker 1: after I left. Maybe I don't know. I don't think so,

1108
00:54:15,104 --> 00:54:17,223
Speaker 1: but I remember Lauren telling me afterwards. He was like,

1109
00:54:17,263 --> 00:54:20,983
Speaker 1: you know, we tape our, we're taping in and he's

1110
00:54:21,024 --> 00:54:22,544
Speaker 1: going to hear that. And I was like, maybe that's

1111
00:54:22,544 --> 00:54:23,263
Speaker 1: why he don't like me.

1112
00:54:23,344 --> 00:54:28,104
Speaker 2: Now, can I tell you my favorite one of among

1113
00:54:28,143 --> 00:54:29,743
Speaker 2: my favorite things you did, my favorite thing you did that.

1114
00:54:29,824 --> 00:54:32,544
Speaker 1: I also feel like it tells the story of the show. Yes, ma'am.

1115
00:54:32,623 --> 00:54:36,423
Speaker 1: I mean, sir, that's fine. I'm looking at her going yes, no, yeah,

1116
00:54:36,464 --> 00:54:37,903
Speaker 1: you checking out with the publics every minute?

1117
00:54:38,904 --> 00:54:44,263
Speaker 2: Yeah, black Trump baby, hold on for you say something.

1118
00:54:44,663 --> 00:54:47,263
Speaker 2: When I saw that, I was like, that's what is

1119
00:54:47,263 --> 00:54:52,184
Speaker 2: supposed to happen. She's supposed to be playing Trump every

1120
00:54:52,263 --> 00:54:55,823
Speaker 2: week on SNL. I saw that, I was like, they

1121
00:54:55,864 --> 00:54:59,183
Speaker 2: figured it out. She will be Trump. Trump will hate it.

1122
00:54:59,623 --> 00:55:02,023
Speaker 2: She will be playing Trump. You're not even doing the voice.

1123
00:55:02,064 --> 00:55:06,783
Speaker 2: It doesn't you that would have been. That was like,

1124
00:55:07,143 --> 00:55:08,623
Speaker 2: I was like perfect. And then by the end of

1125
00:55:08,623 --> 00:55:11,904
Speaker 2: the schedule, I'm like, oh, it's it's a joke.

1126
00:55:12,623 --> 00:55:16,904
Speaker 1: Well, let me tell you how naive I am so

1127
00:55:17,984 --> 00:55:20,064
Speaker 1: Alec Bowen was like, I don't want to be Trump

1128
00:55:20,064 --> 00:55:23,903
Speaker 1: no more. And I literally thought the joke was that

1129
00:55:23,944 --> 00:55:27,263
Speaker 1: we're making fun of him. I was very serious. When

1130
00:55:27,263 --> 00:55:31,663
Speaker 1: I went into to Lauren's office and I was like, hey, Lauren, like,

1131
00:55:31,743 --> 00:55:33,904
Speaker 1: I want to be Trump and he was like what.

1132
00:55:34,143 --> 00:55:35,504
Speaker 1: I was like, I want to be the new Trump

1133
00:55:35,783 --> 00:55:40,264
Speaker 1: and he was like no, no, And I was like, why,

1134
00:55:40,544 --> 00:55:45,264
Speaker 1: that's so funny. It's so funny. It's an inside joe.

1135
00:55:45,904 --> 00:55:48,024
Speaker 1: He was like, it's an inside joke. It's an inside joke,

1136
00:55:48,143 --> 00:55:49,783
Speaker 1: and I was like, all right, all right, and I

1137
00:55:49,944 --> 00:55:52,064
Speaker 1: was fucking pissed. I was like, y'all, don't never let

1138
00:55:52,104 --> 00:55:54,183
Speaker 1: me do nothing. I was like, I want to be

1139
00:55:54,223 --> 00:55:56,424
Speaker 1: a man, y'all, don't let me pay a man. This

1140
00:55:56,584 --> 00:55:59,383
Speaker 1: is fucked up, you know. I was just like fussing, right,

1141
00:55:59,424 --> 00:56:01,104
Speaker 1: And he always laughs at me when I fussed, because

1142
00:56:01,584 --> 00:56:04,263
Speaker 1: I guess obviously it sounds funny when I fussed, so

1143
00:56:04,384 --> 00:56:07,303
Speaker 1: he was like laughing. So when I went, I don't

1144
00:56:07,344 --> 00:56:08,783
Speaker 1: know who it was I was talking to, but I

1145
00:56:08,824 --> 00:56:11,944
Speaker 1: pitched it or something, and they the ones that we

1146
00:56:12,024 --> 00:56:15,664
Speaker 1: do it with. Kyle was like, shit, you as Black Trump.

1147
00:56:15,703 --> 00:56:18,263
Speaker 1: It's like we're gonna do that. We're gonna do that,

1148
00:56:18,384 --> 00:56:20,424
Speaker 1: and we're gonna do it and maybe, and I was like,

1149
00:56:21,064 --> 00:56:23,503
Speaker 1: I'm still through the whole thing, so do you think

1150
00:56:23,504 --> 00:56:25,663
Speaker 1: he'll pick me as Trump? And then they would just

1151
00:56:26,263 --> 00:56:28,823
Speaker 1: is that your goal? Like I'm like, yeah, like it.

1152
00:56:31,263 --> 00:56:34,383
Speaker 1: They think it's too silly. And do you see that

1153
00:56:34,424 --> 00:56:38,903
Speaker 1: part when Vanessa was all of that was hilarious, The

1154
00:56:38,944 --> 00:56:42,064
Speaker 1: part where Vanessa was like, oh, I'm gonna beat Trump too,

1155
00:56:42,303 --> 00:56:46,663
Speaker 1: It was fucking hysterical. And then the part Lauren let

1156
00:56:46,703 --> 00:56:49,304
Speaker 1: me beat him up, not beat him up, but every

1157
00:56:49,344 --> 00:56:51,464
Speaker 1: time like I would grab him and so we can

1158
00:56:51,544 --> 00:56:53,463
Speaker 1: have And it's so funny how you see the back

1159
00:56:53,584 --> 00:56:55,944
Speaker 1: and everybody seeing me beat up Lauren. But it was

1160
00:56:56,024 --> 00:56:58,504
Speaker 1: a he has a look alike. The guy looks just

1161
00:56:58,544 --> 00:57:01,384
Speaker 1: like him. So every time I would grab Lauren's sweater.

1162
00:57:01,623 --> 00:57:03,343
Speaker 1: Every time they say cut, I was like, oh, I'm

1163
00:57:03,424 --> 00:57:06,584
Speaker 1: so real, cashmir isn't it I'm sorry if I'm stretching it,

1164
00:57:06,663 --> 00:57:08,623
Speaker 1: and he was like, you are and it is You're

1165
00:57:08,663 --> 00:57:10,943
Speaker 1: like it was so he let me tear up the off.

1166
00:57:11,984 --> 00:57:15,984
Speaker 1: It was so epic, but it was so and then

1167
00:57:16,104 --> 00:57:19,744
Speaker 1: and then that Melania didn't know. Oh god, we loved

1168
00:57:19,824 --> 00:57:22,864
Speaker 1: all of that. But you were supposed to be Trump.

1169
00:57:23,384 --> 00:57:26,903
Speaker 1: I know you every week, but Trump would have hated it.

1170
00:57:27,024 --> 00:57:29,383
Speaker 2: He would have and you were doing something you did

1171
00:57:29,544 --> 00:57:31,144
Speaker 2: and that sketched do such a good job. I'm like,

1172
00:57:31,184 --> 00:57:34,504
Speaker 2: I see the take and even.

1173
00:57:34,264 --> 00:57:40,784
Speaker 1: The huge huge yeah didn't say because the part when

1174
00:57:40,784 --> 00:57:42,343
Speaker 1: I'm sitting in front of cow and he's like, you

1175
00:57:42,384 --> 00:57:46,104
Speaker 1: sound Jamaican, But that the whole thing was so like

1176
00:57:46,264 --> 00:57:47,984
Speaker 1: you know what that that what pissed me off is

1177
00:57:48,024 --> 00:57:50,104
Speaker 1: that the thing that people loved is the cow things.

1178
00:57:50,144 --> 00:57:52,064
Speaker 1: I was like, is it that y'all that we looked

1179
00:57:52,224 --> 00:57:52,984
Speaker 1: like a weird couple?

1180
00:57:53,024 --> 00:57:56,383
Speaker 2: What is so funny talking about there was I didn't

1181
00:57:56,384 --> 00:57:58,704
Speaker 2: get that there was I'm not saying that in real life,

1182
00:57:58,704 --> 00:58:01,184
Speaker 2: but there was definitely a chemistry there that.

1183
00:58:01,264 --> 00:58:04,584
Speaker 1: We had a chemistry until he told me that he

1184
00:58:04,664 --> 00:58:07,624
Speaker 1: was a virgo all those other ones, all those other ones,

1185
00:58:07,664 --> 00:58:10,024
Speaker 1: I felt forced. I had to do it because they

1186
00:58:10,064 --> 00:58:11,504
Speaker 1: had thought it was so funny. But there was a

1187
00:58:11,504 --> 00:58:13,464
Speaker 1: couple that when after I found out he was a Burger,

1188
00:58:13,464 --> 00:58:16,064
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm all with this. But but the

1189
00:58:16,184 --> 00:58:20,864

1216
00:59:43,904 --> 00:59:46,624
Speaker 1: bro go on air right, and everybody fell out, and

1217
00:59:46,664 --> 00:59:49,863
Speaker 1: I was like, God damn it. Because Tucker was like,

1218
00:59:49,944 --> 00:59:52,344
Speaker 1: y'all was high when y'all wrote that.

1219
01:00:11,344 --> 01:00:13,984
Speaker 2: So just overall because I know you left, and it

1220
01:00:14,024 --> 01:00:19,023
Speaker 2: seems like off when people leave, there's like a controversy yeah, or.

1221
01:00:18,944 --> 01:00:21,584
Speaker 1: Like a sadness behind their eyes, like they're very sad.

1222
01:00:21,704 --> 01:00:24,104
Speaker 1: I can't get away from people going we miss you

1223
01:00:24,104 --> 01:00:25,984
Speaker 1: on this and now we miss you, we miss you,

1224
01:00:26,064 --> 01:00:29,944
Speaker 1: but don't miss me, because like it's levels of life,

1225
01:00:29,984 --> 01:00:32,264
Speaker 1: Like I can't be on there forever. There's other people

1226
01:00:32,264 --> 01:00:35,024
Speaker 1: who can do that, like Keenan's fit for that, Like

1227
01:00:35,104 --> 01:00:37,343
Speaker 1: Keenan is the foundation of it, you know what I mean.

1228
01:00:37,464 --> 01:00:39,943
Speaker 2: It's crazy nobody thought he was going to be there.

1229
01:00:39,824 --> 01:00:41,863
Speaker 1: For and I think that's what they wanted for me too,

1230
01:00:41,944 --> 01:00:43,863
Speaker 1: But I need to I had to tell him that,

1231
01:00:43,904 --> 01:00:45,704
Speaker 1: like if I don't leave now, I won't be able

1232
01:00:45,704 --> 01:00:47,264
Speaker 1: to leave. And I need to leave now because I

1233
01:00:47,264 --> 01:00:49,264
Speaker 1: want to do so much more. And also it seems

1234
01:00:49,264 --> 01:00:51,904
Speaker 1: like it's such a hard place to work too. It's

1235
01:00:51,944 --> 01:00:55,464
Speaker 1: mentally and physically challenged. I feel like you need to

1236
01:00:55,624 --> 01:00:58,504
Speaker 1: definitely have your mental together when you go there, because

1237
01:00:58,544 --> 01:01:01,504
Speaker 1: it's a psychological thing that goes on about the writing

1238
01:01:02,184 --> 01:01:05,304
Speaker 1: and the things that get cut. Like, but what you

1239
01:01:05,384 --> 01:01:07,903
Speaker 1: need to understand you need to really ride that shit,

1240
01:01:08,064 --> 01:01:10,624
Speaker 1: like you need to just be very much off the

1241
01:01:10,664 --> 01:01:15,024
Speaker 1: shoulders shit and submit to the process, because you will

1242
01:01:15,064 --> 01:01:18,664
Speaker 1: be heartbroken every week if you depend just right. Just

1243
01:01:18,904 --> 01:01:21,384
Speaker 1: I always tell people just right, and if it's funny,

1244
01:01:21,864 --> 01:01:24,504
Speaker 1: make it funny and make it what they need. If

1245
01:01:24,504 --> 01:01:26,903
Speaker 1: it's not, they don't like it. And sometimes they see

1246
01:01:27,024 --> 01:01:29,064
Speaker 1: they sometimes they don't like the writing and see the

1247
01:01:29,064 --> 01:01:31,224
Speaker 1: concept and go, oh no, we like the concept, but

1248
01:01:31,264 --> 01:01:34,584
Speaker 1: we're gonna rewrite it. So and sometimes it makes it

1249
01:01:34,624 --> 01:01:36,823
Speaker 1: to the table and it might not go on that week,

1250
01:01:36,864 --> 01:01:39,264
Speaker 1: but it'll go on next week. So you really have

1251
01:01:39,344 --> 01:01:40,624
Speaker 1: to have optimism.

1252
01:01:41,264 --> 01:01:43,584
Speaker 2: There's so many people who've been on that show, and

1253
01:01:43,944 --> 01:01:45,264
Speaker 2: you know, you just said that people are sad that

1254
01:01:45,304 --> 01:01:47,184
Speaker 2: you left. And I'm like, like, you know, I don't

1255
01:01:47,184 --> 01:01:48,584
Speaker 2: know bow and Yang, but was like, oh, that guy's

1256
01:01:48,584 --> 01:01:50,704
Speaker 2: gonna be there forever. And then he just left and

1257
01:01:50,744 --> 01:01:52,064
Speaker 2: it seems like he just released the statement.

1258
01:01:52,104 --> 01:01:54,943
Speaker 1: Like Laurence says it all the time, the good ones

1259
01:01:54,984 --> 01:01:58,224
Speaker 1: always want to leave. The good ones always want to leave.

1260
01:01:58,384 --> 01:02:00,184
Speaker 1: You know. It's rare that you get a good one

1261
01:02:00,224 --> 01:02:05,023
Speaker 1: to stay, you know. And it's true. It says that

1262
01:02:05,864 --> 01:02:09,784
Speaker 1: because it is hard. It's one hundred hours. It's one

1263
01:02:09,824 --> 01:02:13,144
Speaker 1: hundred hours, and it's two hundred hours because it's one

1264
01:02:13,184 --> 01:02:15,824
Speaker 1: hundred hours of physical and one hundred hours of mental

1265
01:02:16,184 --> 01:02:19,584
Speaker 1: and people don't understand we don't leave that building. That's

1266
01:02:19,664 --> 01:02:21,784
Speaker 1: one day that we have off and then we start

1267
01:02:21,824 --> 01:02:24,824
Speaker 1: all over again. Now you imagine the mental of trying

1268
01:02:24,824 --> 01:02:27,664
Speaker 1: to drop a whole show off your brain and start

1269
01:02:27,704 --> 01:02:32,504
Speaker 1: for it's literally hundred work hours. Like I'm serious, building, yo.

1270
01:02:32,744 --> 01:02:35,744
Speaker 1: So Monday is from at five pm. It's when we

1271
01:02:35,784 --> 01:02:39,184
Speaker 1: go and pitch. So that's from about five to ten.

1272
01:02:39,704 --> 01:02:42,024
Speaker 1: If you pitching something and you know you're gonna write it,

1273
01:02:42,184 --> 01:02:43,984
Speaker 1: you give it the writer of Monday Night Night.

1274
01:02:44,264 --> 01:02:46,304
Speaker 2: Yes, so you've done the show on Saturday, you have

1275
01:02:46,344 --> 01:02:47,823
Speaker 2: Sunday off and you go back in.

1276
01:02:48,024 --> 01:02:50,744
Speaker 1: So Monday way, on Sunday, we're not allowed to talk

1277
01:02:50,784 --> 01:02:54,504
Speaker 1: to each other. Oh that's funny. No, because you're very emotional,

1278
01:02:54,584 --> 01:02:57,864
Speaker 1: you're very mentally broken. You want to say mean things.

1279
01:02:57,944 --> 01:03:00,104
Speaker 1: You want to no, you want to be like, why

1280
01:03:00,104 --> 01:03:01,823
Speaker 1: the fuck my shit get cut? You want to be

1281
01:03:01,864 --> 01:03:04,863
Speaker 1: all that. But I learned the hard way do not

1282
01:03:05,024 --> 01:03:09,744
Speaker 1: text people on Sunday. So Monday is when you can Yeah,

1283
01:03:09,784 --> 01:03:11,983
Speaker 1: five pm, Monday is when you can address that shit.

1284
01:03:12,144 --> 01:03:14,584
Speaker 1: Because everybody didn't have their mental break, Like even Lauren

1285
01:03:14,624 --> 01:03:17,144
Speaker 1: goes for a walk on Sunday. It's just a real

1286
01:03:17,224 --> 01:03:19,784
Speaker 1: fucking thing. Like you got to use those hours to

1287
01:03:19,824 --> 01:03:22,464
Speaker 1: get your ship right. So from five on it and

1288
01:03:22,504 --> 01:03:24,863
Speaker 1: if you have a sketch that actually might go on,

1289
01:03:26,544 --> 01:03:28,824
Speaker 1: then that's when you address it right with the writers.

1290
01:03:28,904 --> 01:03:31,264
Speaker 1: So then Tuesday night, when you start writing, you already

1291
01:03:31,264 --> 01:03:35,784
Speaker 1: know what you're working with. Tuesday starts. We I keene

1292
01:03:35,864 --> 01:03:39,224
Speaker 1: used to get there at twelve. I always I minds

1293
01:03:39,384 --> 01:03:42,184
Speaker 1: end up becoming five and six because I knew I

1294
01:03:42,224 --> 01:03:44,383
Speaker 1: was gonna be there most of the night if but

1295
01:03:45,384 --> 01:03:47,424
Speaker 1: the rule for me and Keenan was we left at

1296
01:03:47,464 --> 01:03:50,184
Speaker 1: twelve because y'all got thirteen writers, y'all right that shit?

1297
01:03:50,304 --> 01:03:52,423
Speaker 2: So twelve, So this is what day is this? This

1298
01:03:52,464 --> 01:03:54,224
Speaker 2: is Tuesday.

1299
01:03:55,064 --> 01:03:58,344
Speaker 1: Oh most writers get there like twelve and they stay

1300
01:03:58,344 --> 01:04:00,984
Speaker 1: there till the next night. But you, guys, but we

1301
01:04:01,064 --> 01:04:03,384
Speaker 1: leave at twelve. Now we live at twelve at night, okay,

1302
01:04:03,424 --> 01:04:05,744
Speaker 1: So twelve hour day, right, okay? And how are you

01:04:05,784 --> 01:04:08,544
Speaker 1: there on Monday? Monday is just five? That like, we

1304
01:04:08,624 --> 01:04:10,664
Speaker 1: would be there a couple hours if Lessbi and Keenan

1305
01:04:10,744 --> 01:04:13,383
Speaker 1: was hanging out. So that's kind of an off day. Too,

1306
01:04:14,024 --> 01:04:16,983
Speaker 1: So Tuesday is a full day. Wednesday is the table read?

1307
01:04:17,264 --> 01:04:20,144
Speaker 1: When'sday the table read? You get there about four four

1308
01:04:20,224 --> 01:04:23,584
Speaker 1: pm and you're there the writers, though writers have been

1309
01:04:23,624 --> 01:04:25,944
Speaker 1: there all night. You come in. Writers be having on

1310
01:04:25,944 --> 01:04:29,064
Speaker 1: the same clothes. They look crazy, they look crazy as hell,

1311
01:04:29,104 --> 01:04:32,184
Speaker 1: they look tired as fuck, they look stressed out. And

1312
01:04:32,224 --> 01:04:35,224
Speaker 1: then you see their whole dreams crushed at the table

1313
01:04:35,824 --> 01:04:39,343
Speaker 1: that the sketch doesn't. You could literally see their face.

1314
01:04:39,464 --> 01:04:43,504
Speaker 1: Just go, let me tell you explain something. If Lauren

1315
01:04:43,584 --> 01:04:46,904
Speaker 1: puts the sketch down and starts fucking with his phone,

1316
01:04:47,784 --> 01:04:52,304
Speaker 1: you're fucked. You're fucked. You're fucked as you're just fucked.

1317
01:04:52,704 --> 01:04:55,704
Speaker 1: So Wednesday they're there now if your sketch gets picked,

1318
01:04:55,704 --> 01:04:57,984
Speaker 1: because you find out that night they go in, we

1319
01:04:58,024 --> 01:05:01,304
Speaker 1: read about forty sketches, they come out pick twelve. So

1320
01:05:01,624 --> 01:05:04,184
Speaker 1: you're waiting for that shit to be posted. So everybody's

1321
01:05:04,224 --> 01:05:06,904
Speaker 1: usually drinking. And if that's like the part where you

1322
01:05:07,064 --> 01:05:09,104
Speaker 1: just let go of w it's ash Wednesday. It doesn't

1323
01:05:09,104 --> 01:05:11,584
Speaker 1: matter what the fuck's gonna happen. So we wait for

1324
01:05:11,624 --> 01:05:13,664
Speaker 1: the sketches they get picked, and what time do they

1325
01:05:13,664 --> 01:05:16,943
Speaker 1: pick them. Usually it's usually like maybe let me. See

1326
01:05:16,944 --> 01:05:20,984
Speaker 1: the read ends about like eight, So four to eight

1327
01:05:21,064 --> 01:05:24,064
Speaker 1: is the read. Yeah, yeah, like maybe more like five

1328
01:05:24,184 --> 01:05:26,224
Speaker 1: thirty maybe, like because we wait for Lauren to get there,

1329
01:05:26,224 --> 01:05:28,584
Speaker 1: and Lauren don't get there, like five five thirty, and

1330
01:05:28,624 --> 01:05:31,704
Speaker 1: then maybe by eight is when it's finished. It depends

1331
01:05:31,744 --> 01:05:33,983
Speaker 1: on Yeah, it's about eight, depends on the host too,

1332
01:05:33,984 --> 01:05:36,344
Speaker 1: but the host's usually there too to get that shit together.

1333
01:05:36,504 --> 01:05:39,823
Speaker 1: Table read ain't no joke. So yeah, we stay and

1334
01:05:39,944 --> 01:05:43,104
Speaker 1: so about about nine, and it's when we find out

1335
01:05:43,304 --> 01:05:46,904
Speaker 1: what the what the sketches is. So if your sketch

1336
01:05:46,944 --> 01:05:49,024
Speaker 1: get picked, you're there another couple of hours because now

1337
01:05:49,024 --> 01:05:51,264
Speaker 1: you got to go through every department. You gotta go

1338
01:05:51,304 --> 01:05:53,584
Speaker 1: through hair, you gotta go through makeup, you gotta go

1339
01:05:53,624 --> 01:05:56,184
Speaker 1: through wardrobe, you gotta go through set, you gotta go

1340
01:05:56,224 --> 01:05:58,903
Speaker 1: through direction. So you're there for a couple of hours

1341
01:05:58,944 --> 01:06:01,464
Speaker 1: because there's a long nine for that shit, right, But

1342
01:06:01,864 --> 01:06:05,264
Speaker 1: you should see how fast they do that shit. It's beautiful.

1343
01:06:05,344 --> 01:06:07,064
Speaker 1: Don You go into the hair and they be like

1344
01:06:07,104 --> 01:06:10,584
Speaker 1: what it hair? Boom bam boom, so you'll stand in line.

1345
01:06:10,704 --> 01:06:14,903
Speaker 1: But the ten minutes to get fifty years so good.

1346
01:06:14,984 --> 01:06:18,383
Speaker 1: It's so good. And then Thursday you don't know what

1347
01:06:18,424 --> 01:06:20,704
Speaker 1: type of sketch you have, because most time pre tapes

1348
01:06:20,744 --> 01:06:24,944
Speaker 1: happen on Thursday, so sometimes you'll get those five o'clock

1349
01:06:24,984 --> 01:06:29,343
Speaker 1: calls five am and then you finish your workday with

1350
01:06:29,464 --> 01:06:32,784
Speaker 1: the sketch and go straight to the studio. So most

1351
01:06:32,944 --> 01:06:36,744
Speaker 1: Thursdays and Fridays, Fridays is when all the updates shit

1352
01:06:36,824 --> 01:06:39,343
Speaker 1: it gets done. Thursday and Friday is when all the

1353
01:06:39,424 --> 01:06:42,984
Speaker 1: updates get actually written, and it just depends on if

1354
01:06:43,024 --> 01:06:46,144
Speaker 1: yours get picked. Now, you would get lucky sometimes at

1355
01:06:46,144 --> 01:06:48,064
Speaker 1: a cast member, if you don't have that many sketches,

1356
01:06:48,064 --> 01:06:51,264
Speaker 1: you'll have Thursday off or Friday off, you'll get lucky.

1357
01:06:51,744 --> 01:06:53,744
Speaker 1: Most of the time that did not happen for me

1358
01:06:53,784 --> 01:06:56,424
Speaker 1: and Keenan. I would be in six or seven sketches. So,

1359
01:06:57,144 --> 01:06:58,864
Speaker 1: I mean, there's the other thing about being black line.

1360
01:06:59,144 --> 01:07:00,823
Speaker 1: They just want to put you in the back, to

1361
01:07:00,824 --> 01:07:02,904
Speaker 1: put you in stuff so they can look like And

1362
01:07:03,344 --> 01:07:04,904
Speaker 1: then I was glad. I got to the point of

1363
01:07:04,904 --> 01:07:06,624
Speaker 1: where where somebody would write something, I'd be like, I

1364
01:07:06,624 --> 01:07:07,863
Speaker 1: don't want to be in that because I know what

1365
01:07:07,864 --> 01:07:09,744
Speaker 1: that is. You're gonna ride me all the way to Brooklyn.

1366
01:07:09,784 --> 01:07:11,264
Speaker 1: I don't want to be there in Brooklyn for two

1367
01:07:11,344 --> 01:07:14,144
Speaker 1: hours to shoot three minutes of something and then being

1368
01:07:14,144 --> 01:07:17,184
Speaker 1: traffic for another two hours trying to get back to Manhattan.

1369
01:07:17,264 --> 01:07:20,104
Speaker 1: It was just like one of those That was what

1370
01:07:20,224 --> 01:07:22,903
Speaker 1: drove us crazy. Was Thursday and Friday that was and

1371
01:07:22,944 --> 01:07:27,144
Speaker 1: then Saturday was always They don't understand how much work

1372
01:07:27,184 --> 01:07:30,504
Speaker 1: we do on Saturday. The day of it starts at twelve,

1373
01:07:30,864 --> 01:07:33,864
Speaker 1: so we're rehearsing all of the sketches the whole show.

1374
01:07:34,184 --> 01:07:37,224
Speaker 1: Then we do a dress rehearsal, then we do live

1375
01:07:37,544 --> 01:07:40,823
Speaker 1: by the rehearsals with an audience. Yeah, the dress rehearsals

1376
01:07:40,864 --> 01:07:44,504
Speaker 1: with an audience, which for me, it was like, if

1377
01:07:44,584 --> 01:07:47,904
Speaker 1: dress went well, live might not be good. If dress

1378
01:07:47,904 --> 01:07:51,383
Speaker 1: went bad, live's gonna kill. It's just always like that.

1379
01:07:52,064 --> 01:07:53,944
Speaker 1: So when I came in there and did my update,

1380
01:07:54,744 --> 01:07:57,463
Speaker 1: I remember this night because I was like, I'm such

1381
01:07:57,464 --> 01:07:59,504
Speaker 1: a good comic and I'm such you know, I know

1382
01:07:59,584 --> 01:08:02,144
Speaker 1: how to do the comic thing. So the first night,

1383
01:08:02,544 --> 01:08:05,264
Speaker 1: the first show, the dress, I ripped the fuck out

1384
01:08:05,304 --> 01:08:07,664
Speaker 1: of that shit, yo, and I came out and I

1385
01:08:07,744 --> 01:08:11,264
Speaker 1: remember Lauren. Lauren calling me to the office between mean

1386
01:08:11,264 --> 01:08:13,064
Speaker 1: to me because we have the between meeting where we

1387
01:08:13,104 --> 01:08:15,304
Speaker 1: picked the sketches that we're gonna actually do on the

1388
01:08:15,304 --> 01:08:18,184
Speaker 1: live show, and he said when everybody walked out, he

1389
01:08:18,264 --> 01:08:20,863
Speaker 1: was like, that was so good on dress. Do it live?

1390
01:08:22,104 --> 01:08:25,584
Speaker 1: And it when I say, like, for me as an athlete,

1391
01:08:25,624 --> 01:08:28,104
Speaker 1: that's like a coach telling me I need you to

1392
01:08:28,144 --> 01:08:30,184
Speaker 1: do I need you to score the winning point, I

1393
01:08:30,224 --> 01:08:32,464
Speaker 1: need you to hit the last basket. And I'm fucking

1394
01:08:32,904 --> 01:08:36,944
Speaker 1: fired up now now. And because I'm you know, everybody

1395
01:08:37,024 --> 01:08:39,744
Speaker 1: got their little suspicions like, oh, you did some good dress.

1396
01:08:39,744 --> 01:08:40,904
Speaker 1: I don't know how you're gonna do live.

1397
01:08:41,024 --> 01:08:41,264
Speaker 2: Man.

1398
01:08:41,424 --> 01:08:43,704
Speaker 1: You can't turn the TV on me. Man, you can't

1399
01:08:43,704 --> 01:08:46,304
Speaker 1: turn the camera on me. Boom, I killed that shit.

1400
01:08:46,584 --> 01:08:49,024
Speaker 1: And when I walked off, I remember this, Lauren was

1401
01:08:49,064 --> 01:08:51,064
Speaker 1: waiting by the door for me and he hugged and

1402
01:08:51,064 --> 01:08:54,424
Speaker 1: they was like, he never does that. That was the

1403
01:08:54,464 --> 01:08:57,624
Speaker 1: first update I ever. Okay, we're talking about song. I'm

1404
01:08:57,624 --> 01:08:59,624
Speaker 1: sorry if I'm taking you off something you know, no, no, no, this,

1405
01:08:59,744 --> 01:09:00,704
Speaker 1: I mean, here's the thing.

1406
01:09:00,704 --> 01:09:02,824
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people love to hear these

1407
01:09:02,944 --> 01:09:06,304
Speaker 2: SNL stories, but also love to hear your SNL story

1408
01:09:06,544 --> 01:09:09,264
Speaker 2: right because I think it also Snell's had so many

1409
01:09:09,264 --> 01:09:11,744
Speaker 2: different iterations like you were out there funny enough at

1410
01:09:11,744 --> 01:09:14,784
Speaker 2: a particularly black time, and now it's not a particularly

1411
01:09:14,824 --> 01:09:15,784
Speaker 2: black time anymore.

1412
01:09:15,864 --> 01:09:17,304
Speaker 1: And I feel like Cam.

1413
01:09:17,104 --> 01:09:19,464
Speaker 2: Patterson is in this position of like he's the black

1414
01:09:19,504 --> 01:09:20,944
Speaker 2: guy in the back of a lot of sketches. He's

1415
01:09:20,984 --> 01:09:22,744
Speaker 2: done some updates and he's done a couple of characters,

1416
01:09:22,744 --> 01:09:24,424
Speaker 2: but I see him a lot, and when they do

1417
01:09:24,464 --> 01:09:26,944
Speaker 2: the commercial parodies, he's like just one of the people

1418
01:09:26,984 --> 01:09:29,304
Speaker 2: in the commercial, you know what I mean. And I'm

1419
01:09:29,304 --> 01:09:31,784
Speaker 2: not saying anything against him. I'm no, that's it happens to.

1420
01:09:34,304 --> 01:09:36,384
Speaker 2: I don't know how much writing Cam is doing. I

1421
01:09:37,664 --> 01:09:38,944
Speaker 2: don't know how much writing he's doing.

1422
01:09:39,184 --> 01:09:42,144
Speaker 1: I always say when I was there, I will push

1423
01:09:42,184 --> 01:09:44,064
Speaker 1: for some because there was one season where we had

1424
01:09:44,144 --> 01:09:47,384
Speaker 1: more black hosts than we did white, and that was me.

1425
01:09:48,144 --> 01:09:51,224
Speaker 1: I remember getting Chad with Bostman at the Black Panther

1426
01:09:51,624 --> 01:09:53,224
Speaker 1: and I got him in the corner and I was like,

1427
01:09:53,264 --> 01:09:56,024
Speaker 1: you're gonna do SNL. I need you do. He's like, Nah,

1428
01:09:56,064 --> 01:09:57,624
Speaker 1: that might not be for me. I was like, listen,

1429
01:09:57,824 --> 01:10:01,344
Speaker 1: I will protect you. I will protect you. You know

1430
01:10:01,384 --> 01:10:03,504
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And he came and did it, and

1431
01:10:03,544 --> 01:10:05,584
Speaker 1: it was just like so many great moments that we

1432
01:10:05,664 --> 01:10:09,424
Speaker 1: had with black hosts. I think it is the person

1433
01:10:09,824 --> 01:10:12,184
Speaker 1: Cam may be in a position where because you know,

1434
01:10:12,264 --> 01:10:15,304
Speaker 1: sometimes they do do that little classism thing there too,

1435
01:10:15,464 --> 01:10:19,264
Speaker 1: like if you're new, you know you gotta way through it.

1436
01:10:19,344 --> 01:10:22,984
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of great comment. I would tell

1437
01:10:23,024 --> 01:10:25,744
Speaker 1: Cam to talk to Keenan, because Keenan will tell you, man,

1438
01:10:25,784 --> 01:10:28,184
Speaker 1: I ain't get a sketch for the first five seasons

1439
01:10:28,224 --> 01:10:30,904
Speaker 1: I was on and it'd be like that because they're

1440
01:10:30,904 --> 01:10:32,464
Speaker 1: trying to break you in and trying to figure out

1441
01:10:32,464 --> 01:10:33,984
Speaker 1: what to do with you. But I would tell him

1442
01:10:34,184 --> 01:10:36,664
Speaker 1: to continue to write it, to write, find him a

1443
01:10:36,704 --> 01:10:39,704
Speaker 1: writer there that wants to write with him, and continue.

1444
01:10:39,784 --> 01:10:41,584
Speaker 1: The thing is that they give up when they get

1445
01:10:41,624 --> 01:10:45,704
Speaker 1: rejected one time. Continue to put sketches on the table.

1446
01:10:45,984 --> 01:10:47,864
Speaker 1: Like there was a point where I wanted all the

1447
01:10:47,904 --> 01:10:50,304
Speaker 1: black writers to always put a sketch on the table

1448
01:10:50,384 --> 01:10:52,584
Speaker 1: every week because even when they don't pick them, they're

1449
01:10:52,584 --> 01:10:54,504
Speaker 1: still gonna hear it, and it's gonna be one week

1450
01:10:54,544 --> 01:10:57,264
Speaker 1: they're gonna pick that shit. And that's great. But they

1451
01:10:57,304 --> 01:11:00,544
Speaker 1: got scared after geting rejected one time, and you're scared

1452
01:11:00,584 --> 01:11:04,424
Speaker 1: to follow with these writers and their little cockiness and

1453
01:11:04,424 --> 01:11:07,184
Speaker 1: stuff sometimes that they have not all of them because

1454
01:11:07,304 --> 01:11:11,584
Speaker 1: they are great writers there. John John, oh godness, James

1455
01:11:12,184 --> 01:11:17,144
Speaker 1: and Ken one of my favorite favorite people who write there.

1456
01:11:17,544 --> 01:11:19,704
Speaker 1: It's just you just gotta well.

1457
01:11:19,624 --> 01:11:21,264
Speaker 2: It's also a thing too, Like you gotta think of

1458
01:11:21,304 --> 01:11:22,824
Speaker 2: it as an institution.

1459
01:11:23,024 --> 01:11:23,784
Speaker 1: It's an institution.

1460
01:11:23,904 --> 01:11:25,184
Speaker 2: Well, that's what I'm gonna say is that I've heard

1461
01:11:25,224 --> 01:11:26,984
Speaker 2: Kim talk about it, and he didn't grow up as

1462
01:11:27,024 --> 01:11:29,744
Speaker 2: a black comedian thinking about SNL, so it's kind of

1463
01:11:29,744 --> 01:11:30,504
Speaker 2: all new to him.

1464
01:11:30,664 --> 01:11:32,744
Speaker 1: And that's the sad thing. I came in too, Like

1465
01:11:32,824 --> 01:11:35,344
Speaker 1: I didn't think about being I work on Saturday night.

1466
01:11:35,384 --> 01:11:38,944
Speaker 1: I don't watch sn L. So it's just I'm gonna

1467
01:11:38,984 --> 01:11:42,304
Speaker 1: be honest. I learned a lot when I was there,

1468
01:11:42,424 --> 01:11:45,464
Speaker 1: and I would tell him to pay attention to everything.

1469
01:11:45,544 --> 01:11:49,664
Speaker 1: Pay attention to how they write, cast, get into the casting,

1470
01:11:49,664 --> 01:11:52,184
Speaker 1: and get into the to the how you shoot. I

1471
01:11:52,224 --> 01:11:55,584
Speaker 1: got into all. I learned so much stuff on So

1472
01:11:55,744 --> 01:11:57,744
Speaker 1: take it on as a school because it is gonna

1473
01:11:57,744 --> 01:11:59,704
Speaker 1: be s and L is gonna be what it is.

1474
01:11:59,944 --> 01:12:03,584
Speaker 1: It's like a building. That building's not gonna fucking change

1475
01:12:03,864 --> 01:12:07,744
Speaker 1: for your You got to maybe change to fit in

1476
01:12:07,984 --> 01:12:11,064
Speaker 1: a little, but still know how to see. That's why

1477
01:12:11,064 --> 01:12:13,784
Speaker 1: I get some young because they don't know who they

1478
01:12:13,824 --> 01:12:16,664
Speaker 1: really are yet, so it's easy to influence them. And

1479
01:12:16,744 --> 01:12:18,544
Speaker 1: I think that's why it was different with me, because

1480
01:12:18,544 --> 01:12:20,264
Speaker 1: it was like, now, motherfucker, you're not going to tell

1481
01:12:20,304 --> 01:12:23,104
Speaker 1: me who I am. Yeah, I'm gonna tell you who

1482
01:12:23,144 --> 01:12:23,504
Speaker 1: I am.

1483
01:12:23,584 --> 01:12:27,824
Speaker 2: You know, So I can't let you go without without

1484
01:12:28,184 --> 01:12:31,744
Speaker 2: talking about what many of us saw you go through

1485
01:12:31,784 --> 01:12:35,184
Speaker 2: with Ghostbusters. Oh and I'm not even trying to get

1486
01:12:35,184 --> 01:12:37,224
Speaker 2: you to like go through the drama. I just want

1487
01:12:37,264 --> 01:12:39,904
Speaker 2: to say that, like the way that you first of all,

1488
01:12:39,904 --> 01:12:42,624
Speaker 2: got horribly abused by and I don't know if you

1489
01:12:42,624 --> 01:12:46,064
Speaker 2: say his name, the guy the blonde hair used to

1490
01:12:46,064 --> 01:12:48,384
Speaker 2: be gay guy, but yeah, but don't you see his

1491
01:12:48,424 --> 01:12:51,064
Speaker 2: life now? See he also I used to have things

1492
01:12:51,104 --> 01:12:52,744
Speaker 2: in them too, So I was like I had to do.

1493
01:12:52,824 --> 01:12:54,384
Speaker 2: I got booked to do a gig one time to

1494
01:12:54,504 --> 01:12:57,824
Speaker 2: counter protest him. There was a college in southern California

1495
01:12:57,864 --> 01:13:00,984
Speaker 2: where they booked him. Some club booked him, and they're like,

1496
01:13:01,064 --> 01:13:03,184
Speaker 2: we need something to be the opposite of him, and

1497
01:13:03,224 --> 01:13:06,144
Speaker 2: so I got booked. Like there was cops everywhere in security.

1498
01:13:06,384 --> 01:13:08,224
Speaker 2: I think we were literally the same building, just different

1499
01:13:08,304 --> 01:13:12,224
Speaker 2: venues in the same building. So I Apolis who were

1500
01:13:12,224 --> 01:13:14,464
Speaker 2: talking about so so. But yeah, living well is the

1501
01:13:14,464 --> 01:13:17,024
Speaker 2: best revenge, as they say, I think also too. But

1502
01:13:17,104 --> 01:13:19,504
Speaker 2: he really did a lot of buckshit with you.

1503
01:13:19,704 --> 01:13:21,744
Speaker 1: Well, this is what I need to tell everybody that

1504
01:13:21,864 --> 01:13:23,584
Speaker 1: always wants to get in this business. We was just

1505
01:13:23,624 --> 01:13:26,224
Speaker 1: talking about this, y'all want to get into this business,

1506
01:13:26,224 --> 01:13:29,104
Speaker 1: and don't understand it's not just walking the red carpet

1507
01:13:29,384 --> 01:13:32,024
Speaker 1: and getting the award and stuff. It's a lot of

1508
01:13:32,144 --> 01:13:36,024
Speaker 1: hot that when I did Gohlstbuster, I did not realize

1509
01:13:36,064 --> 01:13:38,984
Speaker 1: our society was the way it was. I'm being so

1510
01:13:39,184 --> 01:13:41,584
Speaker 1: honest with you. I did when I did the update

1511
01:13:41,584 --> 01:13:44,704
Speaker 1: and everything, I was like, oh damn, there is like

1512
01:13:45,224 --> 01:13:47,784
Speaker 1: no wonder And that's what I have to say about SNL.

1513
01:13:48,144 --> 01:13:51,864
Speaker 1: Lauren has to be like not a puppet master, but

1514
01:13:52,424 --> 01:13:55,024
Speaker 1: just he he has to not only make people laugh

1515
01:13:55,104 --> 01:13:58,144
Speaker 1: in Chicago in California, he has to make people laugh

1516
01:13:58,144 --> 01:14:01,984
Speaker 1: in Omaha. And can't like you can't. That's a hard

1517
01:14:02,064 --> 01:14:06,104
Speaker 1: little that's a hard little scale baby. And and when

1518
01:14:06,104 --> 01:14:08,424
Speaker 1: I did the Goodtbuster thing, I didn't even know that

1519
01:14:08,544 --> 01:14:14,744
Speaker 1: the industry was sold fragile and not to go this

1520
01:14:14,784 --> 01:14:17,984
Speaker 1: time and like even what happened like with Monique. When

1521
01:14:18,024 --> 01:14:20,544
Speaker 1: Monique came out and actually said what really goes on

1522
01:14:20,864 --> 01:14:24,064
Speaker 1: and how they ostracize her, and it's almost like, okay,

1523
01:14:24,064 --> 01:14:26,264
Speaker 1: well you got to really watch what you say on

1524
01:14:26,344 --> 01:14:30,744
Speaker 1: how you being handled. But there should be a like

1525
01:14:31,104 --> 01:14:35,824
Speaker 1: again that social media ship is some real fuck ship.

1526
01:14:36,744 --> 01:14:41,984
Speaker 1: Understand that don't understand? Like, yeah, well when I got

1527
01:14:42,744 --> 01:14:48,104
Speaker 1: what do they call it hacked or whatever and nudes

1528
01:14:48,504 --> 01:14:51,104
Speaker 1: like listen, let me tell you something. The hardest conversation

1529
01:14:51,224 --> 01:14:54,504
Speaker 1: I had was with my auntie because she was like,

1530
01:14:54,544 --> 01:14:58,184
Speaker 1: why is your pussy on my computer? And she said,

1531
01:14:58,184 --> 01:14:59,904
Speaker 1: why are you even taking pictures of it? But sounds

1532
01:14:59,944 --> 01:15:01,384
Speaker 1: like I want to see what it looked like, you

1533
01:15:01,424 --> 01:15:05,504
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like like, but what they misunderstood

1534
01:15:05,584 --> 01:15:08,704
Speaker 1: is that I was ever gonna be shaved. That's what

1535
01:15:08,744 --> 01:15:11,144
Speaker 1: they misunderstood about me. It's like, do you underst and

1536
01:15:11,144 --> 01:15:13,504
Speaker 1: the ship that I've been through in my life and

1537
01:15:13,584 --> 01:15:16,984
Speaker 1: you think I'm gonna be ashamed of some great pictures? Listen?

1538
01:15:17,344 --> 01:15:23,464
Speaker 1: So yeah, so the Ghostbuster thing was was was kind

1539
01:15:23,464 --> 01:15:28,864
Speaker 1: of it was kind of unreal because this is what

1540
01:15:28,944 --> 01:15:33,184
Speaker 1: I didn't understand. Y'all know, Ghostbusters are not real things, right,

1541
01:15:33,824 --> 01:15:36,664
Speaker 1: Like you know that's a movie, right, Like it shouldn't

1542
01:15:36,704 --> 01:15:39,304
Speaker 1: be like a sex on Ghostbusters?

1543
01:15:39,304 --> 01:15:41,984
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, shouldn't be Like it's so weird that there

1544
01:15:42,024 --> 01:15:43,424
Speaker 2: was men before and now it's women.

1545
01:15:43,784 --> 01:15:47,424
Speaker 1: I didn't understand. That's when I started learning about people

1546
01:15:47,944 --> 01:15:51,104
Speaker 1: needing shit the same. So this is where I come

1547
01:15:51,144 --> 01:15:53,584
Speaker 1: from with stuff like that. I have to tell people.

1548
01:15:53,664 --> 01:15:56,264
Speaker 1: First of all, that wasn't a real thing. Second of all,

1549
01:15:56,264 --> 01:15:57,744
Speaker 1: what are you telling your daughter? What if your daughter

1550
01:15:57,784 --> 01:15:59,584
Speaker 1: says she wants to be a ghostbuster, You're gonna be like,

1551
01:15:59,744 --> 01:16:02,744
Speaker 1: only men can be ghostposters? Get yours back in your

1552
01:16:02,824 --> 01:16:05,624
Speaker 1: room with your dogs. The fuck are you gonna say? Now?

1553
01:16:05,824 --> 01:16:07,584
Speaker 1: This is? This is and I need to say this

1554
01:16:07,824 --> 01:16:11,624
Speaker 1: because I think people don't understand what TV and creativity

1555
01:16:11,704 --> 01:16:15,384
Speaker 1: and writing is. When Shakespeare was writing his shit, when

1556
01:16:15,864 --> 01:16:19,464
Speaker 1: Mark Twain, I would think that they are thinking in

1557
01:16:19,504 --> 01:16:22,944
Speaker 1: their mind. I can't wait to see how someone else

1558
01:16:23,104 --> 01:16:27,584
Speaker 1: interprets my writing Shakespeare, especially how many ways have we

1559
01:16:27,624 --> 01:16:31,064
Speaker 1: seen Romeo and Juliet, Charles Diction, how many ways have

1560
01:16:31,144 --> 01:16:33,704
Speaker 1: we seen the Christmas Carol? They would come back and

1561
01:16:33,744 --> 01:16:38,864
Speaker 1: now they would not be like that person, They would

1562
01:16:38,864 --> 01:16:41,904
Speaker 1: be like WHOA. I can't believe I wrote something that

1563
01:16:42,064 --> 01:16:45,544
Speaker 1: people were so inspired to write. Again, go back into

1564
01:16:45,584 --> 01:16:48,384
Speaker 1: the Three pigs. How many times? How many do you

1565
01:16:48,424 --> 01:16:51,064
Speaker 1: get what I'm saying. People didn't write this just for

1566
01:16:51,144 --> 01:16:53,784
Speaker 1: it to stay the same. They wrote it to have

1567
01:16:54,064 --> 01:16:58,184
Speaker 1: create activity, because that's what they are. And I hate

1568
01:16:57,904 --> 01:17:01,984
Speaker 1: when people see stuff in such a small box, like

1569
01:17:02,064 --> 01:17:07,304
Speaker 1: even God, Like it's it's hilarious how everybody think God

1570
01:17:07,584 --> 01:17:11,064
Speaker 1: is like, oh, you gotta be God. If we're thinking

1571
01:17:11,224 --> 01:17:14,424
Speaker 1: of the concept of God, do you honestly think there's

1572
01:17:14,424 --> 01:17:16,544
Speaker 1: something you're doing that he doesn't know about? Like he

1573
01:17:16,584 --> 01:17:18,384
Speaker 1: woke up one morning and go, I did not know

1574
01:17:18,504 --> 01:17:22,863
Speaker 1: Leslie smoked so much. We this is gotta be taking

1575
01:17:22,904 --> 01:17:26,504
Speaker 1: care of him. I did not. He's not. And it's

1576
01:17:26,584 --> 01:17:29,104
Speaker 1: like you think you gotta get right to go to him,

1577
01:17:29,144 --> 01:17:31,504
Speaker 1: but you're not gonna get right until you do. And

1578
01:17:31,584 --> 01:17:34,344
Speaker 1: I'm not a fanatic because that's not what he wants either.

1579
01:17:34,384 --> 01:17:36,784
Speaker 1: He wants He created you. And I say this all

1580
01:17:36,824 --> 01:17:39,784
Speaker 1: the time. You are a specific piece of art that

1581
01:17:39,904 --> 01:17:42,264
Speaker 1: was made by him. He wants that art to do

1582
01:17:42,344 --> 01:17:44,424
Speaker 1: what it does. He wants you to find your gallery.

1583
01:17:44,584 --> 01:17:46,344
Speaker 1: He wants to find He wants you to find a

1584
01:17:46,344 --> 01:17:49,584
Speaker 1: way to show the bit you are so small if

1585
01:17:49,664 --> 01:17:52,424
Speaker 1: you're putting God in this box of thinking that he

1586
01:17:52,464 --> 01:17:56,784
Speaker 1: only wants one thing. God made a platypus. He made

1587
01:17:56,824 --> 01:18:00,784
Speaker 1: a platypus. Do you know how funny a platypus is?

1588
01:18:01,864 --> 01:18:04,344
Speaker 1: Why don't you think he's not making a transgender male

1589
01:18:04,464 --> 01:18:08,984
Speaker 1: or female, or gay, or or a black person or

1590
01:18:09,904 --> 01:18:12,784
Speaker 1: what makes you think that he's making one thing? He

1591
01:18:12,864 --> 01:18:17,384
Speaker 1: made oranges, apples, bananas, pineapples. Why would he make one

1592
01:18:17,504 --> 01:18:20,744
Speaker 1: type of human? Come on, you, guys, I'm ready to

1593
01:18:20,824 --> 01:18:25,584
Speaker 1: join the church, Leslie altar, I'm ready to join the churches.

1594
01:18:25,624 --> 01:18:28,984

1730
01:25:32,464 --> 01:25:35,424

1731
01:25:36,424 --> 01:25:39,984
Speaker 1: Your portfolio gonna get better with me, Yeah, like your

1732
01:25:40,024 --> 01:25:44,624

1733
01:25:44,664 --> 01:25:47,304
Speaker 1: and that makes it even hotter. But that's I want

1734
01:25:47,304 --> 01:25:49,064
Speaker 1: to let you know. That's not what I judge men

1735
01:25:49,144 --> 01:25:51,544
Speaker 1: off of because I got my own money. I'm just

1736
01:25:51,664 --> 01:25:52,104
Speaker 1: like you know.

1737
01:25:55,424 --> 01:25:58,504
Speaker 2: So that was me and Leslie Jones. Thanks for coming by, Leslie.

1738
01:25:58,504 --> 01:26:01,264
Speaker 2: Obviously we need to have many more conversations. I really

1739
01:26:01,304 --> 01:26:03,944
Speaker 2: appreciated it. At the end of the episode, Leslie Jones

1740
01:26:03,984 --> 01:26:06,984
Speaker 2: shouted out some causes. She shouted out brown bag Lady,

1741
01:26:07,224 --> 01:26:10,664
Speaker 2: which feeds the unhoused community in LA specifically on skid row,

1742
01:26:11,064 --> 01:26:14,264
Speaker 2: and go to brownbag Lady dot org to support them.

1743
01:26:14,344 --> 01:26:17,504
Speaker 2: They take donations, They have a summer youth camp doing

1744
01:26:17,544 --> 01:26:20,024
Speaker 2: the good work. They have schedules of when they feed people.

1745
01:26:20,184 --> 01:26:23,584
Speaker 2: So again, you can sponsor a camper at their summer camp.

1746
01:26:24,064 --> 01:26:27,544
Speaker 2: So again, brownbag Lady dot org. And just to say this,

1747
01:26:28,264 --> 01:26:31,544
Speaker 2: most of the reason that people are unhoused is economic.

1748
01:26:31,584 --> 01:26:33,864
Speaker 2: It is not because they're drugs or they have mental

1749
01:26:33,864 --> 01:26:36,184
Speaker 2: health issues. We did an episode of United Shades about this.

1750
01:26:36,304 --> 01:26:39,104
Speaker 2: Most of the reasons people are unhoused is economic. So

1751
01:26:39,184 --> 01:26:42,104
Speaker 2: give them money, give them homes, they will be better off.

1752
01:26:42,344 --> 01:26:44,944
Speaker 2: The other thing that Leslie shouted out was planned parenthood.

1753
01:26:45,424 --> 01:26:46,864
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know how much I need to

1754
01:26:46,864 --> 01:26:49,823
Speaker 2: say about planned parenthood other than planned parenthood, in addition

1755
01:26:49,904 --> 01:26:54,744
Speaker 2: to doing reproductive rights work and doing abortions, also does

1756
01:26:55,024 --> 01:26:58,704
Speaker 2: just medical care. You can, like, women can go get

1757
01:26:58,744 --> 01:27:01,064
Speaker 2: check ups there, even men can go there for medical care.

1758
01:27:01,504 --> 01:27:04,424
Speaker 2: So planned parenthood does more than just abortions work. And

1759
01:27:04,424 --> 01:27:06,784
Speaker 2: in many communities they're one of the only places that

1760
01:27:06,824 --> 01:27:10,104
Speaker 2: people can go and trust, especially as our federal governments

1761
01:27:10,144 --> 01:27:12,664
Speaker 2: are shutting down rules hospitals and royal health centers.

1762
01:27:12,704 --> 01:27:14,384
Speaker 1: So a fit.

1763
01:27:14,504 --> 01:27:19,464
Speaker 2: So planned parenthood dot org planned parenthood or planned Parenthoodaction

1764
01:27:19,584 --> 01:27:22,264
Speaker 2: dot org to donate and you go to planned parenthood

1765
01:27:22,304 --> 01:27:25,943
Speaker 2: dot org. So yes, check those two things out. Brownbag

1766
01:27:26,024 --> 01:27:29,704
Speaker 2: Lady dot org and planned Parenthood, and again support planned

1767
01:27:29,744 --> 01:27:32,824
Speaker 2: parenthood because maybe you have good healthcare where you are,

1768
01:27:32,904 --> 01:27:35,464
Speaker 2: but certainly planned Parenthood does healthcare for people who live

1769
01:27:35,504 --> 01:27:38,384
Speaker 2: in communities that don't have access to the best healthcare.

1770
01:27:38,544 --> 01:27:41,904
Speaker 2: So again support those two causes. Thanks to rabbit Gren Productions,
