Hello, Nick, how 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:19.720 are you? You know? I'm loving that old Laurie thing. Yes, 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:23.280 people are actually starting to call me Laurie.

I'm 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.040 excited about Godfrey. You know, we were talking about it 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:34.560 all week because I got a chance, I know, like 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:36.600 so many other people did. I got a chance to 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:42.000 check out they ready to and Godfrey absolutely killed it Nigeria. 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:47.880 So it's ridiculous. You know, you know he from my hometown. 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.560 You know he's from Chicago. I know that. Yeah, I 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:54.760 know that. His impersonations are literally second to none. He's 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:58.480 one of the best. He does a fantastic um uh 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:02.320 President Trump. So I'm just gonna sound out, no ex 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:05.280 President Trump say this ship right. If you're gonna say it, 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:07.160 don't be working with my page. I think he's the 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.920 only one that people are calling an ex president. Everybody's 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.720 like former president or just calls them a president. He's 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:16.400 the only ex president tell that in his own words, 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:21.320 I said that you're fired. So that's just one of 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.320 several great impersonations he's got, so I'm excited to hear 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:27.440 him actually come on and join us and talk about 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:29.960 everything that's going on in his life. Well, we're glad 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:32.280 you came to join us. This morning, Mr Smith goes 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:35.000 to Washington and you're not here in the studio with us. 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:38.680 And unfortunately, after this week, we won't be allowed to 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:42.080 come to the studio either because COVID restrictions. So they're 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:44.640 sending out equipment to me and Lauren, and we're going 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:46.600 to have to do it from home or do it 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:48.560 from somewhere like you're doing it. But me and Lauren 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.760 will meet up together together and when you come in, 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:53.800 maybe we'll all do it from the garage, from the 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:57.200 love lounge. That would be That would be awesome. So 0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.200 starting next Monday, I didn't know that that it was 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:01.120 that the announcement you talk about. Is there another announce 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:03.520 that's announcing We got news today that today as I 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:06.560 last closing down this studio. And it's gonna make me 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:08.480 lazy because this is like a job to me. It 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:10.400 makes me get up, it makes me dress up and 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:12.720 come to work because y'all know at home, I'm laid 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:14.840 out with a cookie hanging out of my mouth and 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.400 a couple of facial hairs right there because it's my 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:21.040 problem area. And yeah, so but so so let us know, 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:25.040 will we will we get the full flame effect? Yes, well, 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:27.600 I was saying, I was paid for a service. Yeah, 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:30.800 I don't want to see him they paid for Are 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.640 you for hire? I've been a hole for years. I 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:36.919 used to say on the street. Now I'm selling on stage, 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:40.479 and I used to be on the streets. Y'all said 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:42.800 that it was a shame. I sold dick ties on 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:46.280 the street. Now we're selling it on the mic. Hey, 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:49.120 it's just different, got a little different. But it was 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:50.920 so much more fun when I could walk up down 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.920 the street jiggling. You know what. It's funny you would 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:57.040 mentioned that because you know, this isn't one of our 0:04:57.080 --> 0:05:01.160 topics for this week, but New York literally just band uh. 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:03.200 There was a law on the books that you could 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:05.880 not be trans walking back and forth down the street 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:08.640 because it was considered a distraction or it could be 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:12.920 interpreted as solicitation. Solicitation and it literally Cuomo just struck 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:14.599 it from the books. That was one of my topics. 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:16.080 I was going to mention that to you, so now 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.560 you are no longer it is no longer illegal to 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:21.480 walk in New York while being trans. I didn't even 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.080 know that was a law. I didn't you know how 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:26.640 many do you know how many of my training holes 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:31.279 that walked the street from but but you know it was. 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:33.960 It was often deemed that if you, if if one 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.960 of ample proportions like yourself, where to stop and just 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.839 start to engage with someone, it could be interpreted as 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:48.240 go back, Rewhan, what is the ample proportion a certain curvature? 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.919 You know, so you know it could be distracting and 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:55.039 people might think that, um, you know it was you 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:59.280 weren't necessarily in your way to church. Kudos to Andrew 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.880 Cuomo for that. Ladies and gentlemen. We have made major strides, 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:05.440 uh in the trans community, and I hate to. I 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:07.719 hate to point this out, but I'm gonna have to 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:09.840 since I since I need to, and you know, I 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:12.120 don't give a two damn rats, ask about what you 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:15.279 think we have made such a major strides. Michael Chi 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.960 did a joke last Saturday on Saturday Night Live about 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:22.960 the transgender lift on the military that Joe Biden lifted 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.200 the transgender ban on the military and the joke was 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:28.840 don't ask, don't talk. First of all, let's start at 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:31.520 the source. The joke wasn't funny worth for damn, it 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:33.400 was as bad as the one that wasn't named. Then 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:35.240 when she had Donald Trump's he had cut off that 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:38.480 ship wasn't funny either. Let's start there. As comedians, you 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:40.000 have to know what it is funny and what it's 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:42.280 not funny. The joke wasn't funny. But we can't get 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:45.239 upset with Michael ch about saying don't ask, don't talk. 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:49.279 When drag Race has had a very successful show on 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:53.160 on RuPaul's drag Race called Untucked for eleven seasons or more. 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:56.280 That is wildly successful. We have to draw the line 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:59.440 on what angers us. I'm I would be more offended 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:01.479 if you see that I wasn't tucked and you could 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:04.719 see what's dangling, because then you'd be mad. Chuck, there's 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.320 a beautiful thing if you if that ain't what you're into, 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:09.440 but you know eventually, if you're laying up with a 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:13.400 trans girl, she's going to unroll and untucked and what 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:17.040 you're saying the battle exactly. So I did it write up? 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:18.760 What was the young lady's name? I did right up 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:23.440 with Cynthia cynthiaself, but did it right up on NBC. 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:25.080 They called me to interview me about it, and I 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:27.520 gave them my true opinion because to me, the ass 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:30.240 on Superman's chest has never still for Superman. It has 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:35.360 always stand for self reliance, self awareness, self assurance, save yourself. 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:38.200 All of these words started with the words self. It's 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:40.520 about who you see looking back at you in the mirror. 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:43.520 Michael cheated ship wasn't funny. Let's let's start there, baby 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:45.880 saying night laugh, I definitely want to say laugh from 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.280 New York you saidurday night. But let's start with some 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.200 of these people y'all got on there. I'm gonna move 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:54.280 on with that one. Let's let's move on and that's 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:56.560 also recognized. I think it's a perfect transitions for us too. 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:58.800 We always said we wanted to start every show in 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.680 February recognizing moment in black history. And I think I'm 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:06.160 gonna start with something that I realized. Um and Flame 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:07.840 you already know this. But one of the things that 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:11.200 kind of encouraged me and inspired the career that I 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:15.960 made in television was Bryant Gumble. Brian Gumble was the 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:21.480 first African American to be selected for a morning national broadcast. 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.680 It was common to see black people doing local television, 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:27.120 but no one had ever been on a national stage 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.640 doing a morning show until Brian Gumble. So he was 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:31.720 the first selected to do a morning broadcast. And that 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:34.040 was a big deal. That today show. Now we don't 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:36.120 think about it because we see Robin Roberts, we see 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:39.720 Michael Strahan, you know, we we see African Americans all 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.320 the time. We see my favorite Gayle King. But so 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:44.920 it's commonplace now, But there was a time when that 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:47.640 was considered a bit edgy to have a black face 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:53.000 popping up in your living room in Middle America, you know, 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:56.960 a long way to say it's itching. Come on, Lauren, 0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:58.960 what what you about to say? No, I just think 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.920 that I'm not okay with how many black you know, 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:04.160 anchors that we have today. You know, Abby Phillips just 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:08.120 got her show on CNN. Interestingly enough, um, I was 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:09.920 actually at n a b J last year for those 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:12.360 who don't know. It's a National Association of Black Journalists 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:16.240 and uh, they have an awards component to their programming 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:19.360 that they have for the weekend. And CNN was, uh, 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:23.040 you know, given the award for lack of diversity and 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:25.839 not actually having people of color in positions other than 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:27.680 you know, Don Lemon is the only one we really see. 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:36.680 Ye don't care what are you doing? So I'm to write, 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:38.960 but I mean, I'm just saying that to say I'm 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:41.640 not I don't think that we have enough black anchors 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:44.320 honestly in news where it's happening more and more today. 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:46.720 I mean, like you said, it's not as uncommon, but 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:49.280 I don't think it's enough. And Brian Gumble, let's let's 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.199 go back. You know why Brian Gumble got the job. 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:52.840 He had a great personality first of all, and he 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:55.480 was a handsome man. But he was very fair, skiing 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:58.880 with good curly hair, and he was very articulate with 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:03.400 his words. He had a fantastic vernacular. Understand that had 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:07.440 he been a big black brother, uh even attractive, he 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:09.760 might not have gotten that job. That's when you always 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:12.520 talk about that whole light skinned, dark skinned thing. If 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:14.920 he was a big, darker skinned black man and could 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:18.800 have been exceptionally attractive, he might not have gotten that job. Yeah, 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.600 it was an easier pill to swallow. Is kind of 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:24.600 the analogy that we can draw there. So, yeah, you know, 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:26.760 that was just a moment in black his red one 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:28.880 to recognize and I know that we have others. Yeah, 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:31.319 let's talk about it. I mean, I saw the video. 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:33.000 I know Flame you saw the video, and I think 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:36.040 Nick you did too. Kamala Harris officially broke, you know, 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:39.640 the first tie in the Senate and I was so 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:42.599 elated and so happy. She had the mask on. I 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:44.120 don't know if it ready also, I think there was 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.880 a little smirk on her face breaking that time. I 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.280 was like, yes, do it. Let me do it for y'all. 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:50.719 Let me give it to y'all. Let me give it 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:52.440 to you. I got my mask on purpose. Let me 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:54.079 let me give it to y'all. Look there, So this 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:58.800 is Kamala before they made the announcement. This is Kamala 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:00.720 when they made the announcement that she broke the death 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:09.360 She was snickering. She kiss I love it and I 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:11.360 was happy to see it, you know, because they got 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:14.920 one point nine trillion dollar COVID relief package past. Now 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:17.200 it's not inacted yet because now it has to go 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:19.440 to the Budget Committee and they've got to figure something's out. 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:22.000 But the Budget Committee has now ran by Bernie Sanders. 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:25.000 And what Bernie did too was that everybody's fired.

And what was the background on that video? 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:29.160 Cutting up I did for about Tiffany.

Was we were on the 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:46.120 road and I said, Flame, let's do a dist video, 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:51.360 you know, and she goes, oh, let's just do one 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:56.800 comedians and he brought out the inner gangster immediately, yeah, 0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.920 throwing up signs and everything else. Flame is from the 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.840 West Side of Chicago. Don't get on sleep with the 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:06.200 west Side is real. My father taught on that side 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:09.680 of town for forty five years. So when someone say 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:13.640 they from the west Side, there's even better, you know 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:17.360 what I mean. It's like I'm from the north side, 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:24.280 but when they say west you go okay. But um, 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:25.800 I just wanted to do that a little. I just 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:28.000 wanted to do that as a as a as because 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:30.960 we're comedians, and there were some people to say, oh, man, 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.280 what are you doing. Man, you pushing the agenda. I go, 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:38.120 that's Flame, that's one of my pushing. It's a comedian, 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:40.280 you know what I mean. We should be able to 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:43.240 laugh about we have, but she's got to laugh about 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:46.160 all of our differences in a in a good place. 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:48.240 It doesn't matter, you know what I mean. We joke, 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:50.560 she jokes on me. I joke. It's like, but it 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:53.320 doesn't come from a hateful standpoint. And I'm not trying 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:56.240 to appease anybody. I'm being for real. People should be 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:59.000 able to live the way the funk they want to live, period. 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:02.000 It said, Man, we're comedians. At the end of the day, 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:05.360 We're just comedians. Weren't gonna fuck. Yeah, you know what 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:07.600 I'm saying, that's what we do. So it's like when 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:11.560 you showed her to he was like, do something gangs 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:13.840 do some gangs. I was like, what He's like, show 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:18.840 the tis. I'm like, okay, but but flame can laugh 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:22.520 at that. What are you mad about? She's laughing about that, 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:26.960 you know. And what's funny is how the LGB critique 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:29.840 community is mad at you when you just keep it, 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:32.560 you keep it one hundred like which you did on 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:35.920 the Breakfast Club. You broke down the whole gay community 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.080 ship and he was already mad at you, Like it's 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:43.560 like they never satisfied you're you're your old schools And 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:46.040 wait a minute, wait a minute. That don't be disrespecting 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:49.800 a bit. I'm still young. Well we're both we're both 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:52.520 young old school. Take that that sounds you know what 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:55.200 I'm saying. We're both from the same school. So I'm like, 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:58.400 you come from it when it was even harder. You 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:00.480 came with a bunch of you when you were Chicago. 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:04.600 You came amongst all us men, like you know what 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:06.840 I'm saying. And you came and we were like, oh, ship, 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:09.560 you wouldn't give a fuck. Cats was trying to come 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:11.680 at you, trying to and you you you held your 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:14.880 ground like and this is when people didn't really come out. 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:18.240 It's like, remember, do you ever meet Mario Cantone? I did. 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:20.720 Mario canton has been a friend of mine for a 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:24.400 long time. And Mario Mario and he's one funny man, 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:27.680 that's a funny dude. And he's gay. And he told 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:30.840 me one time, he said, oh, it's so funny how 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:35.120 the gay community now they're so he listened me. He said, 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:37.400 there are a bunch of pussies, he goes. I came 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:40.919 out when that was detrimental to my career. I came out. 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:43.040 I didn't give a funk. I didn't hide nothing. I 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:46.560 came out and I was like ostracized. He said, these 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:49.719 people now they complaining a bit about nothing. He's like, 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:51.399 where were you when I came out and I was 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:54.320 getting sucking ship up? He was breaking it down. That's 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:56.359 why I get a lot of my information from you. 0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:59.320 I get my information from people who are from that community. 0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:03.040 Whenever I talk about those situations, you know so well. Yeah. 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:05.119 I mean I've even told Flame too that I haven't 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:08.320 met anybody from the transgender community like her. You know, 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:11.000 she doesn't care about pronouns and it's not about, you know, 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:13.720 the small things. She's an anomaly in a lot of ways. 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:15.320 And I think that's why so many people love her 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:19.119 so um totally. He don't you say, she goes, I'm 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:24.960 all of them, don't baby. We because he cast the check, 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:27.280 she makes the money we spend. I know exactly who 0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:30.360 the funk I am come and slay because he could 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:33.600 be a he because when he takes it's sometimes he's 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:37.200 just a heat and then he goes back and forth. 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:39.399 So sometimes I go and I go, you know, he 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:43.080 doesn't care, doesn't care. They don't as long as you 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:47.280 respect what the fun he does. It's the she for 0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:50.200 me because I'm her manager, so she makes the money. 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:55.160 So I'm always say she right talked to him.
