Speaker 1: this is this is a Christmas treat for me. I'm
Speaker 1: a big fan of yours. You are currently about to
Speaker 1: finish Ghosts Season one. Ghosts has been a smash hit,
Speaker 1: is that correct? It happened. It has been an honestly
Speaker 1: grateful to the UK version because we would not be
Speaker 1: here without you all. Um is such a magical experience. Honestly,
Speaker 1: going to work fields like Comedy Olympics, everybody's just Hilary
Speaker 1: and Um to play this crazy ghost Alberta. She is
Speaker 1: truly a hot mess with a harder goal. She's a
Speaker 1: jazz singer from the Prohibition era. So I'm in fresh
Speaker 1: velvet all day every day. It is fabulous. That's so great.
Speaker 1: It looks like this many of you. It looks like
Speaker 1: it's a lot of fun. Like how much waiting around
Speaker 1: is there? And how much is it just you guys
Speaker 1: fucking about? I mean nine us fucking about without question,
Speaker 1: like nine percent just doing what we want improvising. It
Speaker 1: is so much fun, like we are having the time
Speaker 1: of our lives. Truly. How many of the ghosts did
Speaker 1: you know before you were casting ghosts? None of them,
Speaker 1: actually I didn't know. But we all kind of have
Speaker 1: these three degree of you know, separations where it's like,
Speaker 1: oh I did Second City, I did Second City, I
Speaker 1: was in Chicago, you're in Chicago. So there was a
Speaker 1: lot of that. Um. But honestly, it's all love on set,
Speaker 1: which I love. But these people I am like constantly
Speaker 1: breaking character all of us, Like it's insane forging so
Speaker 1: much fun. It's so dope. How much how much an
Speaker 1: average do you would you say the improv that you've
Speaker 1: done is in the finished product? Like percentageways Listen, it
Speaker 1: varies because sometimes the pro runners Joe Porn and Joe
Speaker 1: Wiseman are like, no word is bond brow. But sometimes
Speaker 1: you'll see a couple of scenes where you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: this whole ending is improvised, so you know, sometimes the
Speaker 1: surprises a little bit. Also, you put a lot of
Speaker 1: spoilers in that last story. You went to Second City.
Speaker 1: You're from Chicago, well, originally from Jersey, but went to
Speaker 1: Second City to do a lot of my training. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm a Jersey girl throwing through Turnpike mess. That's me.
Speaker 1: That's Turnpike mess. I've never heard before, but I love
Speaker 1: it and it will now be part of my daily vocabulary.
Speaker 1: How long were you doing Second City? How was that?
Speaker 1: I mean, that's like the dream place, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: first of all, Chicago was honestly felt like a post
Speaker 1: graduate school because I went to grad school overseas in
Speaker 1: England in Birmingham, which was an experience. Yeah, we need
Speaker 1: to talk Okay, let's talk about that first. Let's talk
Speaker 1: about you going to Birmingham. Now, I'm from England. If
Speaker 1: you're listening in your from England, listen without you respect.
Speaker 1: I didn't know the Birmingham is the destination is listen.
Speaker 1: My first day off the flight, I was like, yes,
Speaker 1: cobble stones, yes, fines And then there was a full
Speaker 1: on knife fight in front of my roomed board and
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, where's the girl. I know that
Speaker 1: I know this very well. I know the hood. I
Speaker 1: get it. And it didn't have me laughing so much.
Speaker 1: Bright is my mom. My whole family's Caribbeans. So it's
Speaker 1: like my mom grew up like in the thrust of Kingston, Jamaica,
Speaker 1: so nothing scared her. She's like five foot one and
Speaker 1: have the nerve to try to get in the middle
Speaker 1: of this knife fight. And she was like five loves everybody.
Speaker 1: And I was like, you about to die? On my
Speaker 1: first day's school, it was it was a mess. Good
Speaker 1: tell me, can you do a Birmingham acs Head? No,
Speaker 1: not even close, not even close. I wish I could,
Speaker 1: I really do, because it's very very specific. It's very specific.
Speaker 1: You know what I found You tell me as an American. Americans,
Speaker 1: and I say this with love, don't seem to be
Speaker 1: able to tell the difference between any English accents. I
Speaker 1: could do a Birmingham ax head and they'd still think
Speaker 1: They'd just think it was the same. Is that right? Literally,
Speaker 1: It's it's quite true. The thing is I have a
Speaker 1: little bit of edge because I am Caribbean. So it's
Speaker 1: like I have a family that lived in London, and
Speaker 1: I have you know, a lot of like when all
Speaker 1: that stuff is happening in the sixties seventies, someone to Canada,
Speaker 1: someone to Brooklyn, someone to London. So I was just like, Okay,
Speaker 1: you hear all the different variations, but a lot of
Speaker 1: Americans do not know the difference. That's that's facts. They
Speaker 1: are facts, really fascinating. And so you've been You've been
Speaker 1: in a lot of stuff. You've been around it, well,
Speaker 1: you've you've certainly done the grind and now you're on
Speaker 1: a hit show. How is your life different now? If
Speaker 1: I'm ask and how are you coping with it? You know?
Speaker 1: The best thing is that I am out of student
Speaker 1: loan debt. That is the best thing that is come
Speaker 1: out of this. Yes, visibility, Yes, coins shout out to
Speaker 1: Sally May, resting her to peace gone and never truly forgotten.
Speaker 1: That bitch is rude, Okay, but I am honestly, I
Speaker 1: am so grateful for this so helping me. So that's
Speaker 1: I mean, like that's like the biggest thing for me
Speaker 1: right now. I'm so hyped. That's oh, hang on, we
Speaker 1: missed a bit. Second City. Hang on, we also missed
Speaker 1: I mean Bemingham arrived. There was a knife fight in
Speaker 1: the end. What was your overall? I President of Birmingham
Speaker 1: would recommend listen because also I kind of grew up
Speaker 1: in the hood. So I was like, Okay, I guess
Speaker 1: I understand what this is. It's the hood more with
Speaker 1: better accents, like so, I'm like, I get it. You know,
Speaker 1: down the street there's a little Jamaican restaurant. I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is cute. Cool. I also met my husband there,
Speaker 1: who we've been together for like literally he's from Coventry
Speaker 1: and that's where that's where I was at. University was
Speaker 1: in the Yeah, speaking of lovely places to go in England, Yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly exactly. But yeah, No, I had the time in
Speaker 1: my life. I loved it. Program was fantastic. It was
Speaker 1: a really really strong program for acting. Randomly in the
Speaker 1: middle of program, they scouted all these Americans who were like,
Speaker 1: what the f is going on? But um, I had
Speaker 1: the time of my life while I was there, and
Speaker 1: then moved right to Chicago and that's where I ended up.
Speaker 1: A second city and Hell were a Second City who
Speaker 1: about two and a half years and it was part
Speaker 1: of a diversity program because they were like, we need
Speaker 1: more black people here. So NBC has this program called
Speaker 1: the Bob Curry Fellowship, and a lot of us were
Speaker 1: in that first class, second class um like Dwayne Perkins
Speaker 1: who was doing a lot of writing on shows right now,
Speaker 1: Lisa Beasley like um. Actually Nicole Black, she wasn't in
Speaker 1: that year, but she was around during that time when
Speaker 1: they started that program. And NBC fully funds all these
Speaker 1: all these people of color to take free classes and
Speaker 1: to perform um and that was ultimately what got me
Speaker 1: started in improv and what ultimately got me moving to
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. So I shout out to Second City, you know,
Speaker 1: shout out to them, shout out to you know, the
Speaker 1: showcase that got me to where I need to be.
Speaker 1: But I'm so thankful for all the comedians that I
Speaker 1: met while I was there, because Chicago is a very,
Speaker 1: very um special place. I would say probably has some
Speaker 1: of the most talented performers in the world. So I'm
Speaker 1: lucky that I was like in the mix during that
Speaker 1: time of what was that the first time you went
Speaker 1: into comedy before that had you been doing heavy dramas
Speaker 1: hit Oh God, when I tell you we're in I was.
Speaker 1: I had this career for a very long time where
Speaker 1: I was just trying to be the next Anna Deavere Smith.
Speaker 1: I don't know where that came from, but I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm a serious theater actor. I want the Shakespeare's, I
Speaker 1: want the Greek tragedies. I want to go out into
Speaker 1: the field and I want to interview and I want
Speaker 1: to bring the stories to the stage. Like That's how
Speaker 1: I met Desiree Birch. We were both khop We were
Speaker 1: workshop in San Francisco that was so intense and so incredible.
Speaker 1: Were um Anna hand picked us um And I think
Speaker 1: after that workshop, I was like, I think I kind
Speaker 1: of want to go into comedy. Yeah. Start was documentary
Speaker 1: theater from the beginning, from when I was eighteen years old,
Speaker 1: and I was like, interview people in my communities and
Speaker 1: do those stories on stage and like one person shows
Speaker 1: and all of that, and that's ultimately what led me
Speaker 1: to the Second City. I had a show called Body Courage,
Speaker 1: which talked about like growing up Jamaican American with my
Speaker 1: crazy ass family and my amazing family. But what was
Speaker 1: like being a private school and all white private like
Speaker 1: school and all the differences and growing up extremely Christian
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. Um, but it was Shell that
Speaker 1: ultimately brought me to La and Second City founded, and
Speaker 1: so thankful for those roots. But I had to lay
Speaker 1: those roots to rest. Yeah. I think most comedians do,
Speaker 1: like you dream of going like, yeah, you should do
Speaker 1: a really heavy drama, be really good, and then you
Speaker 1: think about actually making it and being like, i'd be
Speaker 1: depressing six months of that. No, there's no way I
Speaker 1: can't do any Eugene O'Neill for eight months. I'm done.
Speaker 1: I don't want to tour it. Don't take me to
Speaker 1: on the Edinburgh French Festival. I'm good, I'm good. I
Speaker 1: don't want it. Keep it, Yeah, you can have it. Fascinating.
Speaker 1: Oh shit, Danielle, Oh no, fuck, I am h No,
Speaker 1: I've forgotten to tell you something. Oh shit. I made
Speaker 1: a note of it, but i'd turned the page over
Speaker 1: when so I didn't see it. And I'm like, going
Speaker 1: back over this page, I was like, what was I
Speaker 1: meant to tell her? And I've just seen it and
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh no, that's quite heavy. I probably probably
Speaker 1: should have said this up front. Ready, Yeah, I will
Speaker 1: just say it. We'll I guess we'll deal with it afterwards.
Speaker 1: I'll just say you you died. You're dead dead. You're
Speaker 1: dead dead dead, You're dead dead. Who's singing Amazing Grace?
Speaker 1: Your choice? You get to choose Prince. Okay, Prince is
Speaker 1: singing amazing Grace. Nice choice. I feel like it. Also,
Speaker 1: it will be the longest version of Amazing Grace ever, Dad,
Speaker 1: we will have Yeah, it will have a twenty five
Speaker 1: minute guitar, so it will be the solo will be
Speaker 1: so long that at some point people will forget what
Speaker 1: the song is. It'd be like, what were we doing?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeahdanielle's dead, so we did amazing Grace?
Speaker 1: How did you die? Without question? Shark attack? Shark attack?
Speaker 1: What question? I know. I'm in the water all the time.
Speaker 1: I'm a water baby. Thrown through me too, I love it.
Speaker 1: Tell me what happened? You're a water baby. You spent
Speaker 1: too much time in the water. You got cocky. The
Speaker 1: sharks were like, I think she's going to be sticking
Speaker 1: around for a while, and then yeah, let's have some
Speaker 1: jerk chicken boom smash barm. Where were you in which
Speaker 1: in which ocean were you? I would have to say
Speaker 1: probably Malibu. Okay, you're in Malibu. You're swimming about is
Speaker 1: it day or night? It's July night, so the water
Speaker 1: is still warm? Okay, lovely in the warm water, be
Speaker 1: with people on your own, just having a swim. I
Speaker 1: could I could be on a little boat with family. Yeah. Wow,
Speaker 1: And they have to watch this, so you're there any
Speaker 1: warning or the shark? Is there any like? Do you
Speaker 1: hear music before? Oh? Without without question, it's definitely like
Speaker 1: Beanie Man, Like it's like four on. It's full on
Speaker 1: reggae classics. We're not doing jobs. We're gonna keep to
Speaker 1: the color. It's gonna Beanie Man, without question. Maybe Sean
Speaker 1: Paul too. Okay, so you hear Shanny po and suddenly
Speaker 1: grabbed suddenly by a shot snack. I'm betting in two
Speaker 1: or how long does it take? I think it takes
Speaker 1: a bit of a time, because you know, I'm a
Speaker 1: big girl. It's it's gonna take a minute. It's not
Speaker 1: gonna be a one and done right right, It's gonna
Speaker 1: be a moment. You know, they gotta kind of oh
Speaker 1: what's this? Oh jos? Okay, cool? Hi, okay, Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be It's gonna be a minute. It's literally buffy
Speaker 1: at any kind of buffet, old country buffet, they're gonna
Speaker 1: enjoy it perfectly. Season I like that the sound you
Speaker 1: make getting attacked by shark. Let's let's not it's not
Speaker 1: self sat This is a shock. That's attack. You make
Speaker 1: the same noise you might make if a great pumped
Speaker 1: air up your skirt. Hey, hey, oh my friend, that's
Speaker 1: it wiped out. That's it. It's quite a slow death.
Speaker 1: It takes a while, a lot of chewing, great pain.
Speaker 1: And I mean, it's not an idea. And your family
Speaker 1: just watching, yeah, oh my god. And nobody can Nobody
Speaker 1: in my family can swim, So they really can't say
Speaker 1: me like my mom is just going to sit there
Speaker 1: watching shook screaming or are they just screaming probably praying
Speaker 1: like that's going to do anything at that point, but
Speaker 1: you know they could try. But on, okay, so we're
Speaker 1: a lot of screaming. And are you as as it
Speaker 1: takes its time? Are you shouting like I leave everything
Speaker 1: to you? Or you know I'm going to shout? Is shock?
Speaker 1: My retirement fun is under New York Life okay, okay,
Speaker 1: well now everyone listening to this also knows that that's wonderful.
Speaker 1: So you've been eating quite slightly by one shock or
Speaker 1: with that more than money? Was it a fading frenzy?
Speaker 1: I think it's TU think it's I think it's like, um,
Speaker 1: like a set of twins. So one of them picking
Speaker 1: you up, chucking you in the air, other one's catching you. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you worry about death every single day? Cheers every
Speaker 1: single day? Every like literally we got this power range
Speaker 1: variant that just popped in. I was like, yeah, this
Speaker 1: willing testament, let's do it. I think my biggest fear
Speaker 1: with death is not preparing my family because I think
Speaker 1: a lot of times um with black families, specifically Caribbean families.
Speaker 1: In my family specifically, it would be last minute stuff happening,
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh God, we gotta get a card
Speaker 1: fan yo and your life. Wait, where is the saving?
Speaker 1: And then it's like, oh, I can gr my money
Speaker 1: underneath her mattress? What And then you looking through shoes
Speaker 1: and then it's like cammy are coming to the house
Speaker 1: to see who could take the jewelry, who could take
Speaker 1: the call and the perfume and you're like, but y'all,
Speaker 1: we have to plan, we have to plan. It's a mess.
Speaker 1: It's a mess, and I think the planning is the
Speaker 1: thing that stresses me the most out about death, but
Speaker 1: also just the dying, Like what is it about to be? Like?
Speaker 1: Am I about to close my eyes? And then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I see Harriet's coming, Like what is
Speaker 1: it really about to be? What do you think? What
Speaker 1: have you come up with? Is it Harriet? I hope not,
Speaker 1: because I'm afraid of her. Yeah, Like I'm ruining the
Speaker 1: bread of Harriet coming, Like that's a boss ass bitch
Speaker 1: that led all these people to freedom. Like I don't
Speaker 1: want her to be the first person I see, Like
Speaker 1: if we had a death dinner, like I would like
Speaker 1: her to be at my table, But I don't know
Speaker 1: if that's the first person. Maybe like Luther very growth,
Speaker 1: that would be lovely. He'd welcome you in with a
Speaker 1: little dancing. I feel like, yeah, he'd ask you across
Speaker 1: the threshold quite nicely, with a little like Walts maneuver,
Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? But then absolutely, what
Speaker 1: is it you think? Do you think Harriet Tubbin is
Speaker 1: going to tell you off? Is that your fear. She's
Speaker 1: so disappointed in me right with that, like every all
Speaker 1: my like, I just will stress out trying to bring
Speaker 1: some shop ride groceries up the stairs. She's gonna curse
Speaker 1: me out. She's like, are you serious? You're really stressed
Speaker 1: off of that when I brought slaves a probably finish line. Yo,
Speaker 1: she may curse me out for having a white husband,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Oh that Harrie is gonna
Speaker 1: come for me and I and I prepare for it.
Speaker 1: I just don't want her to be the first person.
Speaker 1: I see. You want to be eased in a little bit.
Speaker 1: You want to like couple of practice brands, Luthor, you
Speaker 1: want you want to settle in Luther Prince. And then
Speaker 1: my Angelou my Ange. Well, look I think my angelus
Speaker 1: the end, the last person, because I think, Harriet, how
Speaker 1: it's going to be mean to you? And then Maya
Speaker 1: will make you feel better. I mean we hope. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Maya will be like Maya will probably say to you, yes,
Speaker 1: Harriet's right, However I forgive you Harriet. Listen, don't get
Speaker 1: me wrong, says Maya. Harriet made it is a very
Speaker 1: good part. Are you going to do the Maya voice?
Speaker 1: Because if you're gonna do, may you got this is
Speaker 1: my bringing you in. Hello, Bret, How are you welcome
Speaker 1: to the other place? How are you? Bret? Thank you? Maya.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to check in. I'm currently playing Danielle
Speaker 1: Pinock in this in this act out and then Maya,
Speaker 1: I just met Harriet Tubman and she was so mean.
Speaker 1: She was so mean to me. She was angry about
Speaker 1: my husband. She was angry about the way I do shopping.
Speaker 1: She was angry about my capitalist attitude. And she she
Speaker 1: said I was lazy. And I think I worked very hard,
Speaker 1: but she said I was lazy. What do I do? Mayor?
Speaker 1: I want her to like me. Tell her she's a
Speaker 1: phenomenal woman, living phenomenally. I'm sorry about the shot. That's it, Maya,
Speaker 1: without question, may be at the end. She's got to
Speaker 1: be the end. Whatever happens, Maya is going to make
Speaker 1: it okay. Now, one other questions about Harriet Tubman. You
Speaker 1: said you want her on your table at death dinner?
Speaker 1: Where do you want her though you're putting her next
Speaker 1: to you, You're putting her like no, there's there's there's
Speaker 1: absolutely no way that Harry Tuman can be nice to me.
Speaker 1: Where is she? Like, she's headed the table right, how
Speaker 1: big is the table? I'm kind of like, I'm next
Speaker 1: to maybe Abraham Lincoln, so I can curse him out
Speaker 1: and then we can have that kind of thing between us. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: So well, what you're saying is Harriet's having to go
Speaker 1: at you, and you throw Abraham Lincoln under the bus.
Speaker 1: You go me, what about him? Yeah, we can find
Speaker 1: a tag team. You're like, he said he did a
Speaker 1: thing and then he did nothing happened for years, and
Speaker 1: Harry will be like, yeah, yeah, I hear you, but
Speaker 1: you also complained about the shopping, and then I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna apologize and cry at her feet. What else is
Speaker 1: there to do? By Harriet is personally out, there's nothing
Speaker 1: else to do. This is why I think, as much
Speaker 1: as it's going to be a difficult dinner, you might
Speaker 1: want Harriet next to you rather at the end of
Speaker 1: the table, because she's going to shout across the table
Speaker 1: at you, there by bringing more attention to your crimes.
Speaker 1: Whereas if she's next to you, you can try and
Speaker 1: keep it quiet, like take it but quiet, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like, Harriet, keep your voice down, I
Speaker 1: hear what you're saying. Actually, don't say that, Jesus, don't
Speaker 1: say keep your voice down to Harriet's happening. No, No,
Speaker 1: there's no way. There's no way, because then the like
Speaker 1: spirit of Opera, who's still living. Yeah, well then my
Speaker 1: soul and then I'm going to the next place. See,
Speaker 1: I need to stay in the dinner. I need to
Speaker 1: stay at the dinner. Yeah, you need to survive the dinner.
Speaker 1: If there's if we can add anyone else to the
Speaker 1: table to help you out, because I ad it. Harriet,
Speaker 1: Harriet's not going to be happy Whitney Houston when he
Speaker 1: can sing us down, why can you? So you have
Speaker 1: Harriet on this side, Whinney on the other. When Harriet's
Speaker 1: getting too much, you nudge Whitney. Whinney burst into songs,
Speaker 1: things about the greatest love of all. And when you
Speaker 1: when you when she's singing greatest love of all and
Speaker 1: it's about the love I found in me, you start
Speaker 1: switching it to Harriet, and you start pointing at Harriet,
Speaker 1: and you go, No, the greatest love of all is
Speaker 1: the love I have for you, Harriet. That's the greatest
Speaker 1: love of all because of everything you did. It's all
Speaker 1: about you, Harriet. And Harriet's like, okay, okay, I like
Speaker 1: hearing this. Okay, and she starts, you know, that's all
Speaker 1: she Look, we've always said it all, Harriet Tablan once
Speaker 1: is to be told she did a good job. Right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: She's like anyone. She just wants to be loved, all right, Harriet.
Speaker 1: And she's built up this this attitude of being mean
Speaker 1: to you because she hasn't felt acknowledged enough. And so
Speaker 1: if you sit with Harriet and say, look, Harriet, I
Speaker 1: know I messed up, but I love you and you're
Speaker 1: amazing and what you did is amazing, and I will
Speaker 1: I worship you, I think she might calm down a bit.
Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna hurry on it. Yeah, if I know, Harriet,
Speaker 1: And yeah, and does she guessed her? I'm ted least
Speaker 1: so I can't remember she's in the upcoming season three
Speaker 1: spoilers back, Come on, t origin story. You knew Harriet Temper,
Speaker 1: you'll want to be haunted tonight. I get. But that's
Speaker 1: how I would die. That's how it and those are
Speaker 1: the people I would want it my death for dinner.
Speaker 1: And so you think there's a heaven with with dinners
Speaker 1: and Harriet taban at the door and stuff. I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's I don't know what it is, you know,
Speaker 1: I think that's the thing. Like, I grew up in
Speaker 1: a very interesting religious situation in the fact that I
Speaker 1: was at church all weekend. My mom and my grandmother
Speaker 1: were two different kinds of Christian. So there's this one
Speaker 1: part of Christian like this denomination of Christianity called Seven
Speaker 1: day Adventist. Okay, so it's basically Christians that still follow
Speaker 1: Jewish principles and most of the people in that denomination
Speaker 1: are Caribbean people. Oh, Friday, Saturday's lights out. We were
Speaker 1: vegetarian like fun up Sunday like all of that stuff.
Speaker 1: And then my mom was a Sunday you know, Pentecostal
Speaker 1: hill that kind of chrision. So like I was in
Speaker 1: church like with my grandmother on Friday and Saturdays, and
Speaker 1: then with my mom on Sundays, and like when I
Speaker 1: was in college, Sorry, was your mom know your grandma's doing? Yes?
Speaker 1: And we all were in the same house together. I
Speaker 1: was raised by both. So how did they end up
Speaker 1: different different different types of Christians? Because my mom, literally
Speaker 1: her plot in life is to rebel against my grandmother
Speaker 1: literally that's just like her main Well she was like, oh,
Speaker 1: you want to be doing this stuff. Well I am,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be as I'm moving it. Yeah. So then
Speaker 1: I was like in church all weekend because of the
Speaker 1: so like I think when I was in college, I
Speaker 1: was like, I need to take a break from church.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm exhausted. Like I didn't know really pally
Speaker 1: what to believe. And I think I do believe in God.
Speaker 1: I just don't believe in all of the things that
Speaker 1: were happening. Because if I do believe in all the
Speaker 1: things in the Bible, like I would just be out
Speaker 1: here getting stone for free, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Like it's just too much going on. The Bible is
Speaker 1: like Real Housewives of the Disciples, and it's just so
Speaker 1: much going on in there. Um. But I do believe
Speaker 1: in spirituality. I do believe that, you know, we'll all
Speaker 1: end up somewhere hopefully. But um, my dream is that
Speaker 1: the first thing is like a dinner, like a gallow
Speaker 1: that's my dream. You you really need to pitch the
Speaker 1: real house I said the Disciples, because that is that
Speaker 1: is going to be huge. And I actually I almost
Speaker 1: feel like we should edit this bit out so no
Speaker 1: one hears it, so you can probably pitch. I would
Speaker 1: buy that show. Yeah, I'll work on it. Okay, I'll
Speaker 1: work on a bread both in the room, both in
Speaker 1: the room, no pitch document, no proof lead, the dull
Speaker 1: got it on. Here we go, Here we go. So well,
Speaker 1: I've got news for you. There is a heaven and
Speaker 1: it is great. And Harry, tell me, is it the door?
Speaker 1: I'm afraid, but I've had a word with her and
Speaker 1: I've said, look, give her a chance. I know, I
Speaker 1: know she's on your hit list, but give her a chance. Right,
Speaker 1: she's done. I said, Look, she's done some things. She's
Speaker 1: made a lot of people happy, to be fair, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. She was like, oh, I don't know.
Speaker 1: And I said, just watch her show real. I put
Speaker 1: on your show real and she was like Harry Tubman
Speaker 1: started laughing, like quite angrily laughing, like, oh nah, she
Speaker 1: got me, you know what I mean. Anyway, you come in.
Speaker 1: Everyone's delighted to see you, even Harriet. By this point,
Speaker 1: she's I've converted her. She's a massive fan and Luther
Speaker 1: Prince Whitney the spirit of Hope. But that's not dead yet.
Speaker 1: They all want to know about your life. Oh, but
Speaker 1: it's filled with your favorite thing. By the way, Heaven,
Speaker 1: what's your favorite thing? Oh, my god, is it water?
Speaker 1: Water without person? Beaches? That's my favorite thing in all right? Well,
Speaker 1: heaven is a beach. It's a beach. And the seats
Speaker 1: are water seats, like the sort of seats that King
Speaker 1: tried to and sat on in a Little Mermaid, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Just to sort of way keeps going.
Speaker 1: You're set on it like that, And there's screenings. It's
Speaker 1: so great anyway. Everyone wants to talk about Whitney, Lutha Prince,
Speaker 1: all of them, even Abe Lincoln. They want to talk
Speaker 1: about your life, but they won't to talk about your
Speaker 1: life through film. And the first thing they ask is,
Speaker 1: what is the first film you remember seeing? Danielle Pinnock,
Speaker 1: First Wives Club, that's the first film you So the
Speaker 1: first It was the first film that I saw because
Speaker 1: my grandmother didn't have TV in the house, so I
Speaker 1: had a lot of catching up to do later in
Speaker 1: my adulthood. Like I kind of low key felt like
Speaker 1: I grew up slightly morning because my first film with
Speaker 1: my mom, when she was going through her divorce with
Speaker 1: my dad, she was like on this like, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: see these badass films with these badass women. And it
Speaker 1: was First Wives Club in the theaters. I'll never forget it.
Speaker 1: And during like any scene with cussing, she would like
Speaker 1: put her hands over a I was like, this movie
Speaker 1: is dark. Yes, shout out to all of these women,
Speaker 1: love them, Yes, bed middler, are you getting it? Um?
Speaker 1: How old? How old were you? Oh? God? When the
Speaker 1: First Watch Club come out? Like ninety six six? Yes? Eight?
Speaker 1: So I was born at eighty eight nine. I don't know,
Speaker 1: yeah six seven eight? Yeah? Come on? Are you an
Speaker 1: only child? I grew up at a child. I do
Speaker 1: have a half sister, but I grew up as an
Speaker 1: only child until I was like twenty in So it's
Speaker 1: just you and your mum at the cinema where and
Speaker 1: this was in Jersey? This was in Jersey, PA. That's
Speaker 1: so nice? Did you and so you liked the women
Speaker 1: in it? Well? Also, if you've never seen a fucking TV,
Speaker 1: were you like what happen? Literally? Like my brain face,
Speaker 1: I was like, these people are so big. This move
Speaker 1: in the popcorn like honestly, it just felt like the
Speaker 1: amish on a rum springer. Like I was like what
Speaker 1: the hell is happening? It was fantastic, And then we
Speaker 1: just kept on going to films we like Saw Stella,
Speaker 1: Goot Rule Back and Waiting to Exhale and all these things,
Speaker 1: the Disney Classics t I was like, like, it was
Speaker 1: just it was fantastic. It was fantastic, really nice. I
Speaker 1: like that a lot. What is the film that made
Speaker 1: you cry the most? Are you a crier? Do you cry? Not? Usually?
Speaker 1: Not usually? But the film that Why am I not
Speaker 1: a crier? Why? Well, you know, I grew up in
Speaker 1: a in a family of very strong women, Like I
Speaker 1: didn't see my grandmother cry until she was like seventy one. Wow,
Speaker 1: I going up with her my whole life. And my
Speaker 1: mom I think she cried once and that was at
Speaker 1: my dad's trin I haven't seen a glass, So I
Speaker 1: just kind of in that family words like we don't
Speaker 1: really express emotions. How we express emotions is by cooking
Speaker 1: and dancing, like giving hers and family functions, but like
Speaker 1: you weren't really like it wasn't until I met my husband,
Speaker 1: who was a fool on his sign that he's a
Speaker 1: cancer Jesus crime. And that's when I was like, oh, wow,
Speaker 1: maybe I should be emoting. I don't know your way
Speaker 1: of like, instead of having emotions, you dance and cooking
Speaker 1: and have fun. Sounds so much better than sitting around
Speaker 1: crying all day. I think you've got it right. Literally,
Speaker 1: I would say, don't get into the crane. No, but
Speaker 1: I do have to tell you the film that got
Speaker 1: me the junior year of high school. We saw Life
Speaker 1: is Beautiful still to this day, the film that it
Speaker 1: just takes me out. It was probably one of the
Speaker 1: most beautiful films I've ever seen in my life. Extraordinarily heartbreaking,
Speaker 1: and I was in there bawling, like I lost my
Speaker 1: firstborn child as a junior in high school and I
Speaker 1: was like what in the middle of my biology class,
Speaker 1: and my teachers like, yare you are lying? Like what's
Speaker 1: going on? I'm like, and the whole thing is subtil
Speaker 1: and I'm like, why y'all I'm sick. Are you not
Speaker 1: reading it? Yeah? I was like, do you need to
Speaker 1: borrow my glasses? Oh? This is the moment. Love that film.
Speaker 1: It's so it's so heartbreaking. Yeah, it's so good. It's
Speaker 1: so good. Thought. Okay, I like that answer. I like
Speaker 1: that film. I like that film very much. I haven't
Speaker 1: seen it in years, but I loved it. I'm sure
Speaker 1: it holds up. Does it hold up? You ever seen
Speaker 1: it again? Yeah? It's still to this day, still to
Speaker 1: this day, still to this day. What about being scared?
Speaker 1: What's the film that scared you the most? Do you
Speaker 1: like being scared? Hayted ter fine hated. There's two films actually, okay.
Speaker 1: The first one was no, this is so stupid. The
Speaker 1: first one was Precious Yo, yo, and woking the Ring.
Speaker 1: It wasn't pared o relactivity, get this shit out of
Speaker 1: me because it was like, yo, is this what happens
Speaker 1: if you keep beating fat? Like? What the is this one?
Speaker 1: I had to look forward to like a box of
Speaker 1: chicken in the middle of the hood, Like what is
Speaker 1: this movie? Yo? That movie scared this shit out? And
Speaker 1: Monique shot up together look before. But I will never
Speaker 1: forget absolutely absolutely Mariah carry but that goddamn mustache and
Speaker 1: social services, Like it really took me out, Bratt, It
Speaker 1: took me out terrified. The first time Precious has come
Speaker 1: up is the scariest film of all time. But but
Speaker 1: I guess it's about time. It frightening it like it's lucky.
Speaker 1: Can you give us a break like, is this is
Speaker 1: this what I had to look forward to? This woman
Speaker 1: had and this little um bandanna she had on the
Speaker 1: whole film like Godly Gabris in the bay, shout out
Speaker 1: to her. She killed it. Terrified, still can't even walk it, terrified, terrified.
Speaker 1: What was your other choice? The other choice was the
Speaker 1: Jackson's and American Dream about Michael Jackson. The basket was
Speaker 1: in it. I'll tell you. I'm gonna tell you the
Speaker 1: scene that got me though, Brett. It's the Pepsi It's
Speaker 1: the Pepsicola scene when he fell down all them steps
Speaker 1: and those fireworks call him. I still, to this day
Speaker 1: am afraid of fireworks because of that scene, because I
Speaker 1: was like, Wow, this man went from black to white
Speaker 1: in one scene. And I don't know what happened. In
Speaker 1: my young minds, I didn't know nothing about no Vi
Speaker 1: the lie Go. I just knew that the fireworks turned
Speaker 1: this man into a wire, and that for me was
Speaker 1: a horror show. How did Michael Jackson turned caucasion off
Speaker 1: of pepsi? Call of fireworks? I'm good, I haven't had
Speaker 1: pepsis what happens? He gets hit in the face by
Speaker 1: fireworks from PEPs. Oh, he's doing this dance down the
Speaker 1: steps and then falls down all the steps and then
Speaker 1: literally all these fireworks from the show catch him on fire,
Speaker 1: his whole hair on fire, because you know he had
Speaker 1: a prop I did this true story. Oh my god. Yes.
Speaker 1: And then they were like, that's when he went white,
Speaker 1: that's when he ended up like being light skinned. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, na, they said it was the fireworks, but
Speaker 1: then they were like, it's the bidiligo. And I say,
Speaker 1: you know what, because y'all can't tell the difference. I
Speaker 1: don't want no ship with fireworks every again. I don't.
Speaker 1: Still to this day, Fourth of July, I'm a wreck terrified.
Speaker 1: I'm like, can you imagine, like one day walking out
Speaker 1: and then Fourth of July, boom, a little bit of
Speaker 1: firework comes on you. And then next thing you know,
Speaker 1: I turn up looking like Kathy fucking Bates, like, are
Speaker 1: you kidding me? Now? I'm terrified, ship terrified. Yeah, you guys,
Speaker 1: stay indoors. It's not safe out there. It's not safe
Speaker 1: out here. No, stay indoors. That's it what I mean.
Speaker 1: Fantastic answers. What is the film that people don't like?
Speaker 1: People don't like it? It's not critically exclaimed, but you
Speaker 1: love it. You don't care what anyone says. Along Cam Paulo, Right, Pip,
Speaker 1: still honestly understanding Kevin Hart. He was a little, a
Speaker 1: little man with the fact. Loved that film. I love
Speaker 1: that film so much. Can you please just describe Kevin
Speaker 1: in that film again? He had he had the bull.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Kevin Hart. Listen, I'll start somewhere. We
Speaker 1: all start holding a bull. Yeah, okay, he said, shot
Speaker 1: up to him because he killed it and he was
Speaker 1: giving tactics. Even with that little bull. We had one. Okay, No,
Speaker 1: that yo, Philip, to be honest, and I hate saying
Speaker 1: this because I know Philip s more howman was into
Speaker 1: so many other films. For me, it was along Polly,
Speaker 1: because that man is an absolute legend. Yeah, absolute legendary. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The way he squeezed that pizza off the thing and
Speaker 1: then aid it, The way he was in that damn
Speaker 1: basketball gym with those men, the way he was in
Speaker 1: the office room. It's kind of like the comedic choices
Speaker 1: that he made to inspire me beyond love the movie.
Speaker 1: Love it. That's really good. He really did. He really
Speaker 1: could do. He could do it o Coldn't he truly?
Speaker 1: What's a film that you used to love, you loved it,
Speaker 1: you've seen it recently, you don't love it anymore. Titanic
Speaker 1: go on. You'd be amazed, Danielle, how often Titanic comes
Speaker 1: up on this show. It amazes me. It's on a
Speaker 1: low people's lists. Talk to me, Titanic. She tried it
Speaker 1: because she knew there was some space on that driftwood
Speaker 1: at the end. There was space. And I don't know
Speaker 1: who that who that goes to, whether it's props, if
Speaker 1: they made the error, you know, they should have put
Speaker 1: that driftwood a little bit more so then as an
Speaker 1: audience member, we'd be like, damn, there really no space.
Speaker 1: There was space on the driftwood, and all she had
Speaker 1: to do was climb his ass up. Yeah, saved his life.
Speaker 1: That's it. I do. You know what I think. I've
Speaker 1: just thought this for the first time. You ever seen
Speaker 1: dirty dancing. You seen so dirty dancing at the end
Speaker 1: of it. One of the reasons I think it's very
Speaker 1: moving is we know they're not going to be together
Speaker 1: beyond this summer. He's the's a she's a posh girl.
Speaker 1: She's not going to hang out with Johnny English wherever
Speaker 1: his name is after the summer, and I think what
Speaker 1: happens with Kate Winslet and Leonard DiCaprio is like, yeah,
Speaker 1: they've had a lovely summer Oliday and the Titanic. She's
Speaker 1: not going to marry him in the real world. She's
Speaker 1: a push girl. So she's like, how am I gonna
Speaker 1: this was? This is saving me an awkward conversation at
Speaker 1: the airport when we get there, you know, when we
Speaker 1: get to land, he's going to be like, so where
Speaker 1: do we go to your fantasy penthouse? And she's gonna go, oh, actually,
Speaker 1: you're not really going to fit in around here. I'm posh.
Speaker 1: I don't like people like you. So she just lets him.
Speaker 1: She goes, oh, there's not enough room on the old door.
Speaker 1: And see, I can't respect that, because at least tell me,
Speaker 1: tell me why I'm drowning. Yo, Loki, We're never gonna work,
Speaker 1: but I'll help you up and then we'll both live,
Speaker 1: and then you could go about your way. But she
Speaker 1: killed the man. That's homicide. She killed a man to
Speaker 1: avoid an ocal conversation in a few weeks time, which
Speaker 1: I don't I mean putting it now. I say it
Speaker 1: like that. I kind of respect that because she doesn't
Speaker 1: want to break his heart. She don't want to break
Speaker 1: his heart when they get to where that guy it's toxic. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and she's not a great guy. She's she's um. You
Speaker 1: know how there's fun boys. She's a fun girl for
Speaker 1: that because at least just let the man stay on
Speaker 1: the driftwood. That's it that y'all went through all these
Speaker 1: things together. Yeah, Francis cursed you out, and then y'all
Speaker 1: downstairs wading through the water like their journal truths and
Speaker 1: you can't let the man come on the driftwood. No. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Maybe it also just says about their upbringings. I suppose
Speaker 1: if you're a push girl, you probably don't. She probably thinks, oh,
Speaker 1: it'll be all right, because do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: It might not even crust the mind to put him
Speaker 1: on the door. Maybe she did like him because she's like,
Speaker 1: he'll be right. He's he's a little Rapscallion. It'll be fine.
Speaker 1: And Rapscallion gone gone. Killing with Nemo, Yeah, killing with
Speaker 1: all of Nemo's family's family. That's it. Well, good point.
Speaker 1: Danielle Pinock, what is the film that means the most
Speaker 1: to you. Not necessarily the film itself is any good,
Speaker 1: but because the experience you had around seeing the film
Speaker 1: will always make it special to you. Danielle Pinock Good
Speaker 1: probably Annie, the original Brenadette, Eaters, Um Kenny, all of them.
Speaker 1: I think I saw that with my cousins, and still
Speaker 1: to this day that movie holds up for me. I mean,
Speaker 1: those actors were giving their lives. Carol Burnett, I mean
Speaker 1: it's just kind of like, of course, it's like a
Speaker 1: little white girl with slut red hair. People are ready
Speaker 1: to discriminate against redheads, so she's basically redheads are like
Speaker 1: the black people for white people. So I'm like, okay, cool,
Speaker 1: I respect her. She's rough around the edges in the
Speaker 1: hood and the orphanage and then gets an opportunity to
Speaker 1: be in this rich man's house. Yeah, I root for her.
Speaker 1: I root for her, and then she can sing on
Speaker 1: top of them. Yeah, she's ex play because she can sing.
Speaker 1: She can sing without question. I love Annie, but always
Speaker 1: love Danny. And it's it's in my list of films
Speaker 1: that didn't get good reviews that blow my mind. I'm like,
Speaker 1: who who watches Annie and goes this isn't very good.
Speaker 1: How we got to test those reviewers and tell them
Speaker 1: if they can do the choreography, then they can get
Speaker 1: review because that choreography is an matched still to this day,
Speaker 1: Albert Finney like chefs like truly, So Daddy Daddy will listen.
Speaker 1: You play Daddy Woolbucks wrong. That's a very creepy character.
Speaker 1: You put one foot wrong with Daddy Warbox. What this
Speaker 1: fucking skinhead guy that's like bringing in the kid to
Speaker 1: his rich house and makes you like you play that
Speaker 1: any one little degree wrong. That film is very disturbing. Facts.
Speaker 1: What's the film you most relate to? Danielle Pinock. There
Speaker 1: was an indie film back in the day called Camp
Speaker 1: about these little kids in theater camp, and it was fantastic.
Speaker 1: And I think that film for sure because I saw
Speaker 1: it at the time when I was a teenager and
Speaker 1: I was also in the theater camp at that time,
Speaker 1: and I loved that film so much. It's like my
Speaker 1: whole high school experience, just being kind of awkward, and
Speaker 1: you know, finding the thing that gives you a place
Speaker 1: in this world and in society where all your awkwardness
Speaker 1: is just respected and highlighted in such a beautiful way.
Speaker 1: I loved camp loved it well. I was going to
Speaker 1: ask you when you got to like Second City is
Speaker 1: it Is it the sort of place that's like breaks
Speaker 1: you down then builds you up or was it like
Speaker 1: the thing is I had been doing classical I've been
Speaker 1: classically trained for years before a Second City. I was
Speaker 1: broken down before when I got right, yeah, absolutely, Like
Speaker 1: literally coming in Judy Dan's like, okay, I'm ready, Like
Speaker 1: you know, Treveral, Like I just literally I think that's
Speaker 1: a thing like when you're theater is theater is a cult?
Speaker 1: You know? I don't know how people there's no other
Speaker 1: way to say it, like it just it is very
Speaker 1: culty where it's like you get in, you gotta it's
Speaker 1: a pyramid skin. You gotta do this, and then you're
Speaker 1: gonna get this, and then you're gonna do this and
Speaker 1: you're gonna and then it's like you can come out
Speaker 1: with all these degrees and still have zero confidence in
Speaker 1: yourself at all because somebody was like, you're too big
Speaker 1: to play this role, you're too brown to do this thing.
Speaker 1: You need to be the slave, you need to be
Speaker 1: the maid. I've been hearing that for so long. When
Speaker 1: I got to the second city, I was like, what
Speaker 1: y'all got going on? What's happening? I'm ready, I'm ready.
Speaker 1: And because I've been doing like my own solo performances,
Speaker 1: there was nothing that anybody could tell me that I
Speaker 1: hadn't already heard a in my own family, because I
Speaker 1: come from a harsh family of critics and they do
Speaker 1: it with love. But like, there was nothing that anybody
Speaker 1: could tell me that would not allow me to pursue
Speaker 1: my dream. There's nothing. I've heard it all, and I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 1: cool and moving on, Yes and cool, moving on? Yes,
Speaker 1: tell me this, Tell me this. What's the sexiest film
Speaker 1: you've ever seen? Danielle Pinock um how Stella gotta groove back?
Speaker 1: So sexy sexy film. Angela Bassett like, Hey, I'm Matt.
Speaker 1: Angela Bassett is unbelievable, one of the greatest actors ever
Speaker 1: and also doesn't seem to age at all. Looks exactly
Speaker 1: as she did in seventeen one. I don't know how
Speaker 1: she is, but literally, she's she's ageless, she's a she's phenomenal,
Speaker 1: and she's fucking brilliant, stunning, stunning and masterclass performance. I mean,
Speaker 1: I just I stand that woman. I think she was
Speaker 1: just everything and more and Stelegota qualback. Definitely. There was
Speaker 1: like a shower scene where I'm like, oh, this is
Speaker 1: cute and my mom was like, it's like literally that
Speaker 1: was me. Really good choice, really good choice. There's a
Speaker 1: subcategory to this question. Obviously we're gonna have to deal
Speaker 1: with it. I don't make the rules. I do. I do.
Speaker 1: The subcategory is troubling bonus worrying why dones filmy founder,
Speaker 1: rousing that you weren't sure you should done? Ye doesn't
Speaker 1: get easier. Asking but this is rough, this is this
Speaker 1: is this is getting rough. It's hunger Games. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: without question. Lion came huge press on Simba. Are we
Speaker 1: talking about the specific moment and can you feel the
Speaker 1: love tonight or are we doing just general? All the
Speaker 1: way through the film, I would When Simba got brown, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, okay, cool, what's happening here? The
Speaker 1: hair was falling in a different direction. And then when
Speaker 1: my man went into the water and went like this, yeah,
Speaker 1: I had the ball Derek moment, I was lamed. I
Speaker 1: was hooked. That's fair. I forget about that one. Lion

Speaker 1: hill and then they're like, oh, and then he looks

Speaker 1: the TV. One that you're gonna shit yourself and be like,
Speaker 1: what the what is this mirror that this movie and
Speaker 1: I'm not moving, I'm in the Moonlight is one of
Speaker 1: the all time grades. You can absolutely have that. What
Speaker 1: that question? What a magnificent film. Oh, a magnificent yo.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just say notes on the scandal, the performances
Speaker 1: Judi Dench, Yo, he kills it in this movie, and
Speaker 1: it was so good. I know the subject matter is
Speaker 1: very dark, but literally that was my goal to movie.
Speaker 1: I'll be like, oh, let me go, let me see
Speaker 1: what Judy's about to do. I loved it. I thought
Speaker 1: it was fantastic. Okay, you can have that, but but
Speaker 1: we're having Moonlight because that's because that's the greatest Moonlight
Speaker 1: without Moonlight, without question, but also a having no so
Speaker 1: on a scale, we we've mentioned. We were like, we're
Speaker 1: going to shout out to notes on this scandal. But yeah,
Speaker 1: that's just a that's just like, hey, Judy, what's good? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Moonlight always yeah, yeah, Okay, what's the Daniel Pinnock, what's
Speaker 1: the film that you could all have? What's the most?
Speaker 1: Over and over again? You know, I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna lie. I have seen Bridesmaids so many times. I've
Speaker 1: seen Bridesmaids. I remember seeing that in the theater with
Speaker 1: my very dear friend Davon Joy Randolph, and we're like, oh,
Speaker 1: we're just gonna see a film change our lives. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I had to get that day on bootleg. That's the right.
Speaker 1: You had paid your money once had the cinema. That's fine.
Speaker 1: I think that's okay. I think I'd be okay with that.
Speaker 1: As long as you start in the cinema. I don't mind.
Speaker 1: You do in the cinema twice and then got on bootleg.
Speaker 1: Surely did. And Melissa McCarthy just absolute genius, all of
Speaker 1: those women, every single person in that cast. I mean
Speaker 1: it was just singless. Why is she so funny? Melissa McCarthy,
Speaker 1: I have a theory. What's your theory? I think because
Speaker 1: she's playing this, she's playing it for real. That's the
Speaker 1: thing I think. Alive. She's not trying to be funny.
Speaker 1: She's in a in a Paris, not quite um Arbou
Speaker 1: Jeremy Strong, but she's playing if she's playing it for real,
Speaker 1: you know, not you know, she's not on that end.
Speaker 1: Yeah you shout out to him because he's killing it,
Speaker 1: you know, but she's playing it's for real. And I
Speaker 1: think that's what's so funny about it. To me, it's
Speaker 1: like she just she's a genius. She's a genius. Yeah, truly.
Speaker 1: What's the thing she did on Saturday Night Live that
Speaker 1: I thought was what's his name? That the terrible man
Speaker 1: who was Trump's you know speech no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: she played Trump's press guy that got oh yeah, oh yes,
Speaker 1: I know that. I can't Spicer. Yeah, when she played
Speaker 1: when this super Company played him, that's one of the
Speaker 1: funniest things ever. And I was like, why is she
Speaker 1: so fucking good? And I was like, I think it's
Speaker 1: because she's dangerous. It's because there's a certain madness to
Speaker 1: her that feels like what's the word, Like there's no
Speaker 1: edges to it, like like she could you feel like
Speaker 1: she could actually go into your did some murder everyone,
Speaker 1: Like there's a real, real like she's on the cars. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that makes it really exciting because you're not safe.
Speaker 1: You're not safe. It's like it's like chaos. There's fucking
Speaker 1: chaos happening where it's here. She's amazing anyway, what now? Look,
Speaker 1: I don't like being too negative, Danielle. I don't know
Speaker 1: about you, so we'll do this fairly quickly. What's the
Speaker 1: worst film you've ever seen? Danielle Pinock? Hands down, hands down,
Speaker 1: cool Runnings, hands down, whoa whoa, hands down worst Phil.
Speaker 1: Let me speak for everyone listening, whoa Cool Runnings without
Speaker 1: the I'm Jamaican. It was a literal trust what accent

Speaker 1: trying to do Mary Potton Poppins and being like, oh,

Speaker 1: on here? You know? The accents are zastrous. I was like,
Speaker 1: I can't even I can't do it, Like, yes, oh
Speaker 1: my god, I love us a good sports story, but
Speaker 1: I'm like, y'all, this ain't it. There's nobody in Jamaica
Speaker 1: doing this. And then like if you were Jamaican during
Speaker 1: that time. Like all these white kids used to be
Speaker 1: calling me Bob Sled because that was a movie. They're
Speaker 1: like Bob, and I'm like, we're really not though, because
Speaker 1: I'm I'm in a Christian household. All we're doing is
Speaker 1: reading Bibles and handing out Bible scriptures on Halloween. That's
Speaker 1: what we're doing. We're not smoking ganja. We're not going
Speaker 1: on a Bob Sled. My mom doesn't even know how
Speaker 1: to swim. We're not doing any of these things, leaving
Speaker 1: me alone. Hated it, hated it. Fair answer, How did
Speaker 1: you learn to swim? And why didn't you take your
Speaker 1: mom with you? Oh? My dad. My dad just dropped
Speaker 1: me in the water. Okay. That's the thing. He's very
Speaker 1: that's him work. And he was like, okay, she comes up.
Speaker 1: It's good. And I came up when it's up stuck,
Speaker 1: that's it. It stuck. Okay. So what's the You're in comedy,

Speaker 1: that movie, from background to the leads, it just is.
Speaker 1: It hits every time for me. No Friday, no skips,
Speaker 1: Friday skips Friday's great. All right, Danielle Pinock, you have
Speaker 1: been phenomenal. No one surprised. Everyone was expecting this and
Speaker 1: you delivered. However, when you were you're in the ocean
Speaker 1: in Malibu with Youmily, you'd invite the whole family. Everyone
Speaker 1: was on a boat. None of them can swim. You
Speaker 1: in a way that seemed, I don't know, arrogant. You said,
Speaker 1: none of you can swim, but I can. And you
Speaker 1: dived into the sea and you were swimming about, but
Speaker 1: you'd also been like manning the boat, so they were
Speaker 1: sort of stuck just watching you, and you were like,
Speaker 1: look at me, look at me, and you were swimming around.
Speaker 1: And after about two hours of it, they were a
Speaker 1: bit bored, and they were also like getting sundstroke. They
Speaker 1: wanted their head back in, but you were like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm a water baby, watch me swim, watch me swim.
Speaker 1: And suddenly two twins, two twins, one set of twins,
Speaker 1: one twins, one twins shark grabbed you tossed you in
Speaker 1: the air started eating you, but really slowly, and you
Speaker 1: went hey, you went hey, and your family were watching
Speaker 1: and they were like, oh my god. They were screaming.
Speaker 1: But none of them could swim because you would never
Speaker 1: offer to teach them to swim. And this has finally
Speaker 1: come back to harn you and the sharks that are
Speaker 1: eating you and eating you. But it takes a It
Speaker 1: takes so long that your family almost get bored. Like
Speaker 1: it was, it was exciting and scary and up saying,
Speaker 1: but now it's like, I mean, I wish they'd just
Speaker 1: because you're still going hey. You keep saying, hey, they
Speaker 1: haven't taken your head off yet, and they sort of
Speaker 1: eating you from the bottom up, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: and h and eventually and as you say, my pension
Speaker 1: is in New York Trust or something, and they go okay, cool,
Speaker 1: thank you, and then you go hey, one last hey, hey,
Speaker 1: and then the shark bait your head off, got it,
Speaker 1: and then it went under water and there was just
Speaker 1: blood floating flating up. Anyway, I was on a speedboat
