Sometimes I use more ingredients, 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:38.920 sometimes I don't, but fried chicken is pretty basic. 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:42.320 And then you have a salad, which, by the way, 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.319 I was like nibbling on your cucumbers and tomatoes. I 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:47.000 was like, damn, I haven't had it, like usually have 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:50.600 my salads pre made now right? Oh, Like damn, why 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:51.440 don't I ever have. 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:56.320 Whose like cutting stuff up? We're in a microwave age 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.320 right now, so it's like everything's prepped for you, so 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:00.000 I can understan. 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:02.040 And these bag salads are really good nowadays. 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:02.800 They really are. 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:05.840 They really are, and they're like three dollars versus like 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.400 piece mess. But you're a blue cheese girl, and I 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:11.800 was confused by that. Why I'm gonna try it with 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:13.920 you today. I don't remember the last time I had 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:16.120 blue cheese, but I was like, I don't think I 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:16.960 messed with blue cheese. 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:17.120 Like that. 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:19.120 I'm a ranch girl, but I was like blue cheese. 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:24.280 Yes, I put blue cheese on my wings, my salads 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:27.639 because so at one point I was doing Keto. So 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:30.799 blue cheese is good for Keto when you're doing the 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:31.520 Keto diet. 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.000 Oh, difference between blue cheese and. 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:36.960 Ranch, it's just it just goes more with like Keto 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:38.680 type meals, you know what I mean. 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.239 So I guess I won't be Keto. I gotta lose 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:43.320 a lot of weight, but I won't be Keto. So 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.880 go ahead, step into the kitchen. Show us how you 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:47.959 make your fried chicken. What you do first? 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.400 All right? Us through it? What's the first thing? You 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:51.560 got your chicken role? 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:54.440 So what I'm gonna do is I'm season the chicken. 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:56.920 I also season the flour, but I'm gonna start seasoning 0:02:56.960 --> 0:03:01.600 the chicken. And I don't measure nothing. When I feel 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:04.919 like it's seasoned enough, I stop. That's how I usually work. 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:10.399 So that's how my mother taught me. And I'm trying 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:10.960 to remember. 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.320 That's so funny. The last time you cook this was when. 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:19.000 It's been a minute. So it's been a little minute. 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:20.959 How often would you be doing fried chicken? 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:26.120 I love fried chicken. So yeah, so now I just 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:30.120 buy it usually, but probably three times a week. 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:33.120 Wow, yeah, wow, three times a week back in a 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:34.680 day or now back in the day. 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:37.160 Yeah, No, I'm not. I'm not eating fried chicken three 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:40.600 times a week now maybe twice, but that's hilarious. Yeah. 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:42.760 If you ask my daughter what does she want to eat, 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:47.200 it'll be real chicken, not chicken nuggets, real. 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:51.320 Chicken, real chicken. Does she like fried chicken? 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.720 She does, Okay, she does, But it's just funny to 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:57.560 hear because most people, if you're fast food on the road, 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:00.000 you're gonna offer your kids chicken nuggets. She is very 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.680 adamant about it being real chicken. Okay, it's three years old, 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:05.600 real chicken from the car seat. 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:06.280 Okay. 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:10.040 But all right, So you're seasoning up the meat with 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:16.200 scarlet powder, onion powder, lais, yes, and pepper and pepper awesome. 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:19.000 And then you haven't put the buttermilk in yet. 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.560 Not yet. So I'm gonna put the butter milk, the 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:24.400 buttermilk on here after I season it up a little bit. 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:26.960 And then what I do is, after that, I'm gonna 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:29.080 dip it in the flour. Well, I'm seasing the flour. 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:36.880 So I'm gonna just it's okay gloves. Yeah, I'm what 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:39.320 I do though, I can wipe it on here, right, 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:40.480 you can, Okay? 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:43.920 So I used the I was the we usually get 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:45.160 send those home with you too. 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:49.039 Oh, okay, give you an extra one and that one 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:52.640 I can put it in wash Ma, you're gonna get too, okay. 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:54.520 So take me back to what was going on in 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:57.480 the air of fried chicken and salads. 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:02.240 Basically, I I was living in this part of North 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:07.240 Philadelphia called Northern Liberties, and I was off at the 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:10.920 community college which is CCP Meunie College, Philadelphia. I was 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:13.880 also working, but I was doing telemarketing. It's not really 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:17.080 much going on there. Yeah, And that's what was going on. 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.680 And I was actually with my dude at the time. 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:24.400 I was nineteen, about to be twenty, and I was young. 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:27.320 We were together and so I was like, basically it 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:29.600 was easy meals that I knew how to meet. So 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:30.839 and we didn't have a lot of money. 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:33.200 Oh, you guys were like, are you talking about you 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:33.600 and Kevin? 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:34.480 Yeah, we were living together. 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:36.719 You guys were living together. This is right after college 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:39.280 or right now, this is during college. This is during 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:42.520 college yeah, during community college in Philadelphia. Yeah, so yeah, 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:46.560 you guys were grinding together. There were you guys married yet? 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:51.039 No? Okay, no, we were just like babies, just meeting 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:54.800 and going to school before we dropped out. 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:58.200 Yeah, yeah, going to school before you dropped out. 0:05:58.279 --> 0:05:59.600 Yeah, before we both dropped out. 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:06.880 Yes, So you were working telemarketing. He was doing. 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:10.720 He was working at a city a place called City Sports, 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:15.200 and then he started getting into comedy because of community college. 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:18.160 Of course we met at community college and then he 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:22.760 got into comedy, and then from there I started working 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:25.120 for the phone company. He started doing comedy. I just 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:28.599 started going to sporting all the shows and began making 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:29.480 more fried chicken. 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:35.119 And then when does he's doing comedy? You're not yet 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.279 doing comedy at that time or no. 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.240 But here's the thing, a lot of people don't know. 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:42.200 I got class clown in high school. So I've always 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.680 been doing comedy my whole life, like always making my 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:48.680 family laugh, always watching it and studying it, probably since 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:51.200 I was like nine years old, honestly, because my parents 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:56.440 all they used to do is play Richard pryor Fred Stanford, Moms, 0:06:56.480 --> 0:07:01.080 maybe Dick Gregory, like they always were playing albums in 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.640 the house. They would send me upstairs sometimes, or they 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:06.159 would think that they sending me upstairs, and I would 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:07.920 be at the top of the stairs listening to all 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:12.040 of raunchy comedy, listening to all of that. Yeah. 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:15.880 So, now when he's pursuing comedy and this is you 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:18.560 have a passion for, I'm guessing at the time, So 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:20.520 what is going on at the time when he's doing 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:24.200 comedy and you're are you like playing? Are you just 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:27.000 supportive girlfriend? Do you know what you want to do 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:27.720 at that time? 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:34.040 So, honestly, I was in school for acting and for 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:37.560 theater and drama at the time. I did not realize 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:39.200 that I was going to be doing comedy at all. 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:43.800 I always was like into comedic movies, but didn't know 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:46.600 that I would eventually be doing stand up. Actually, I 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:49.000 didn't start stand up until I moved to La. 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:53.160 Okay, yeah, so you're going to school for acting. How's 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:56.680 your acting doing while you're like struggling actress and he's 0:07:56.680 --> 0:08:01.560 struggling comedy. You guys have this commonality, I'm guessing funny. 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:04.120 Yeah right, Yeah, that's what drew us to each other 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.160 to begin with in the first place, because we were 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:09.000 always laughing and cracking on each other. Jawning, as they 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:12.840 say in Philly, is when you constantly bagging somebody. So 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:16.600 that's what I always did, practical joker, always doing stuff 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:20.560 like that. So yeah, that's what pretty much probably why 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:22.400 we ended up together in the first place. 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:27.600 Yeah, so watching that grind close up, you still wanted 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:30.920 to pursue it. Watching it close up, you get the 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:32.800 front row seat of like, how hard it is? 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:36.679 Right, I never thought it was hard. Okay, Yeah, of course, 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:39.400 when you love something, the grind of it, it's just okay, 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:42.280 this is what makes you better anyway. But if you 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:45.040 love something, it's okay, this is just the journey. This 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.160 is what it's going to be. And of course there 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:52.360 was some days where you know, financially, but when you're 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:53.800 having fun, I don't think it really matters. 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:55.600 Yeah, I mean to some degree. 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:58.600 Now you guys, and you guys had a family too, 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:01.680 Oh yeah, I mean, I mean you guys have a family. 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:02.280 Sorry I'm trying. 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.840 I mean we have ki who this little pivotal process 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.600 of your story. So you guys are having a family. 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:11.719 You guys have a family. Are you guys are still struggling? 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:17.199 No, sir, So when we moved to California. He had 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:19.640 got a deal, so by then it was a little 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:20.840 less of a struggle. 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:22.720 You guys didn't have kids yet. 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:23.800 No, we didn't have kids yet. 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:26.360 Okay, So you moved from Wow. 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:31.240 Yeah, from Philly to Callie together. We weren't married. And 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:32.840 my family, of course, did not like that. 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:34.520 But I was like, listen, and you guys dropped out 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:35.280 of college to do that. 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:37.440 Yeah, we dropped out of We knew we wasn't supposed 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:38.000 to be in school. 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:40.800 Okay, so you guys packed up and moved. Oh, I 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:42.079 know your family wasn't happy. 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:44.280 Oh yeah, they weren't. And especially I come from my 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:48.640 family's very religious and my grandmother was a minister. Two 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:52.640 uncles or ministers, three aunts ministers. So I was raised 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:56.400 you don't move in together before marriage, and YadA ya, YadA. 0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:58.600 Of course I got all of that back last too. 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:00.920 How long were you together before you guys decided to 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:01.400 pack up? 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.800 And it was about three and a half years. Three 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.280 and a half years, so you four years? Actually, he 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:06.600 gets it. 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:08.600 What so he got holding. 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:10.520 So back in the day, there was these things called 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.760 holding deals, and so you would get holding deals. And 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:17.400 this is when there was like big money like NBC ABC. 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.480 So he got a holding deal and so we took 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:23.000 some of that money to move out here. And then 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:27.080 I also was working for Ladelphia, which is this company, 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.520 and for me at that age back then, making that 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:31.800 kind of money, it was a big deal. I had 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.080 a four oh one K and so I dipped into 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:35.760 my four oh one K and was like, Okay, I'm 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:37.719 taking some of this money out and I'm using this 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.360 to move. I actually packed up. I had a grand 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:43.080 Cherokee at the time, cause I had a little bit 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:45.400 of money back then. When I got turned twenty one, 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:48.200 I got some case money. I was able to stack 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:51.480 some of that and get a truck and that was 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:54.760 actually the vehicle that drove him back and forth to 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:57.240 a lot of comedy shows too, cause he didn't have 0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:00.959 a car. Wow. Yeah, So I had the car and 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:04.760 it was fun though. It was just like it's my nature, 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.280 Like my mom and dad has been married almost fifty 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:07.880 five years. 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:08.839 Wow, and so I. 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.160 Watch how my mom holds the family down, and that's 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:14.439 what she did, so I just get it naturally from her. Yeah. 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:17.360 So at this time, your parents are in your ears? 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:18.400 Are you starting again? 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:18.960 His ears? 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:22.080 Like yo, I moved across country where you know Bonnie 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.880 and Clyde. Are you gonna put a ring on it? 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:27.199 Does that start to hit in your head? Or is 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:30.000 he feeling the pressure because now you guys are thugging 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.360 it in LA? And do you have any friends also? 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:35.280 Oh? Yeah? So we have been coming back and forth 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:39.280 to LA for different things, visiting because he would get 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:42.200 booked for jobs and so we were coming back and forth. 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:45.360 So I had made friends. So when we got here, 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:47.560 of course, and the comedy world is pretty small, you 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.600 met people and stuff like that. But my family, no, 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:54.240 because they know that I'm pretty independent too, and I 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:56.280 don't believe you should pressure a man to do anything. 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:57.800 You let a man do what a man wants to do. 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:00.360 As soon as you try to pressure a man. No, 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:02.400 you're not pressuring me in the you know what I'm saying? 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:05.160 Like he was the one I honestly was low key. 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:06.760 I don't know I want to get married, you know 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:08.480 what I mean. I don't know if necessarily I want 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:11.200 to be married, But one days we're going to get married. 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:14.560 So we went and we got married in Vegas. It 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:18.040 was we got married in Vegas. I should have known. Shit, 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:21.520 wasn't gonna work? Because no, I'm just thinking that, and 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:25.320 I think back, I'm laughing because why my bouquet was 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:30.520 like this? The probably had three flowers in the bouquet? 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:32.959 Was it like Elvis? Who did it? And all that? 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:36.600 It wasn't Elvis, but it might as well have been Elvis. Okay. 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:40.000 My wedding dress was from Express. Okay, first of all, 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:41.680 I wasn't even gonna wear a wedding dress and my 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:43.800 mom and was like, you need to go get a dress, 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:45.480 and I was like do I have to? 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:46.960 Like so what about it? At that? 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:50.280 Looking back, you saw that set said it wasn't gona work. 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:51.959 It wasn't the three flower bouquet. 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:56.560 Looking in hindsight, I'm thinking like, damn, Okay, Tori, you 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:59.400 should have been a little bit more. Wasn't a bigger 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:02.280 wedding or But I just always maybe that's the clown 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:04.840 in me. Maybe why I was thinking, we're just profession 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:06.719 our love for each other, so that's really you know 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:09.560 what I mean? Yeah, but no, it should have been 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:10.280 done a little better. 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:12.120 A lot of people spend a lot of money on 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:15.360 on weddings. That usually doesn't dictate where it's out. It 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:17.240 dictates some of the death you started. 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:18.040 That is true. 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.240 But okay, so you guys get married a couple of 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:23.600 years into LA or. 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:26.360 Oh yeah, we get married and about a year later. 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:29.800 And this is what pissed me off too, because I 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:32.600 didn't want kids until I was about thirty five, and 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:34.840 then I ended up getting pregnant and I had just 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.640 got a sports car. Okay, he had bought me a 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:40.079 sports car for my birthday at BMW. Yeah. I dis 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:41.719 was like my dream car and he got me my 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:44.720 dream car is twenty six. And so I'm whipping around 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.760 LA with my convertible Z four and the next thing 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:50.440 I know, I'm pregnant and I'm like, can't fucking have 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:51.920 no kids? In no Z four? 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:53.080 Yeah, and I was. 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:55.440 I lived at Sunset in Point Setias, so I was 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:57.360 like a party girl. I'm still why I used to 0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:59.559 live over there right in your Bosston Nova. 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:02.079 Yes, literally, I will walk to Boston over because you 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.000 know they got them burgers TOI laur in the morning. 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:06.360 But you walk to Running, Yeah, and you can walk 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:09.480 to that was literally my cross streets. 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:10.560 Yeah. 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:13.480 But I was more in Hollywood in Point Seddio, but 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:15.760 the next street was Sunset. 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:19.119 Yeah, yes, Okay, sunset in Points SETI okay, shout. 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:20.800 Outs to that area. I loved living over there. 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:22.560 But listen, I loved it. 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:24.400 I am trying to tell me nothing. 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:28.360 Like I belong in Hollywood. It is what it is. 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:32.080 Yeah, so y'all was living over there and you start 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:35.480 making a family, Now is there pressure? So now I'm 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:37.760 guessing that you guys are in your early twenties, money 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.160 is starting to roll. He's gifting cars. I mean, yeah, 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:42.680 in my twenties, ain't no dude ever give me a car. 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:45.000 I'd be lucky if they don't give me the bill 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:45.880 at Burger King. 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.040 I was a brat. I was a little bit of it. 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:50.560 I also did spoiling too, you know what I'm saying. 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:52.520 So it was reciprocal and he knew that was my 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:55.440 dream car. I actually was getting my hair done and 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:58.080 he pulled up to the hair salon with a red 0:14:58.120 --> 0:14:58.840 bow on it. 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:01.080 It was like Jersey so cute. 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:02.200 Yeah, I love it. 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:06.000 Yeah, okay, So at the time, what are you doing 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:10.040 while he's he's doing comedy? Right, this is obviously before 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:10.640 soul Plane. 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:12.960 I think this is yeah, this is around soul Plane era. 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:16.640 I was actually training, so I was doing it and 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:19.400 I had booked some jobs. I booked national commercials at 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:22.960 and t Ford. Me and him had did a commercial together. No, 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:25.440 we didn't do a commercial before that, just yet. But 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:28.240 I had did Supermarket Sweep. Do you remember that show? 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:28.920 I remember that? 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:31.400 Okay, I had booked that.

Yeah, when I got pregnant, it slowed me 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:04.240 down a lot because I was used to always going 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:07.600 out and hanging and that's what we did. We would 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:09.400 go party a lot. When I got pregnant, it was 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:11.800 just like damn, man, I can't drink either.

If you 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:43.480 see me stuttering, it's because, okay, it's about to go down. 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:45.960 Cucumbers, should we do this? 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:48.080 Go ahead?
