1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: I just like I like people who don't take themselves

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: too seriously, and I think that is what has always

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: drawn me to Yvonne is her ability to say, stay

4
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: so true to who she is while making it funny,

5
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: but also poking fun at herself. And it's not just

6
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: like coming from Nigeria, but it's also being raised in

7
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 1: this Western culture in the US. I think she does

8
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: such a beautiful job of bouncing in between both and

9
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:39,279
Speaker 1: making light of it without it being horribly offensive. So

10
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: I just love I love how funny she is. She

11
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: makes me laugh, and she brings me through the lens

12
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: and pov of how she was raised in her culture,

13
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: which I find very fascinating. And it's good to know

14
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: how these people move, why they move in the way

15
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: they do, and just really get paint the whole authentic circle.

16
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: All right, let's get right into it. Here is Avon

17
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: Orgy today on Wide Open. I have someone who's as

18
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: funny as she is fearless, the one and only Yvonne Orgy.

19
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: You know her from Insecure, from her stand up specials,

20
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: from her book Banboozled by Jesus, and of course from

21
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: hosting dating shows where parents find love while their kids watch,

22
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: which honestly is already more drama than The Bachelor could

23
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: ever handle at this point. But we're talking about her

24
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: love for tennis, growing up in Nigeria, surviving an all girls' school,

25
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: and why her Nigerian parents still think she should have

26
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: been a doctor. We're diving into modern dating, the good,

27
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: the bad, the ghosting, and trust me, we laugh a lot.

28
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: She's brilliant, she's she's beautiful and possibly the only person

29
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: in Hollywood who could actually talk about Jesus and dating

30
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: apps in the same sentence and make it make any

31
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: kind of sense. Let's go into it. Welcome to Wide

103
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 2: in Nigeria, grew up in Maryland. My dad would always

104
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 2: go back and forth between Nigeria and Maryland. And whenever

105
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 2: he would come, it would be summertime. You know what

106
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: happens in the summertime. Wimbledon. You know what you want

107
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 2: to watch when you're a kid in the summertime, Not Wimbledon.

108
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 3: You want to watch cartoons. You want to watch schipp

109
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 3: and Dale Rescie Rangers. You want to watch you know

110
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. You want to watch Fower Rangers.

111
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 2: But my dad and this was like, I mean, I'm

112
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 2: an eighties kid. So we had like one like TV box,

113
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 2: so like whatever he's watching upstairs, were watching downstairs. And

114
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 2: so it was on Wimbledon, and I remember hating tennis.

115
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 2: I said, this man is ruined in my childhood.

116
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 3: Hated it.

117
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: My god.

118
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: Then I went to an all girls boarding school for

119
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: high school and they had an equestrian team and they

120
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 2: had tennis courts. So then I was like, oh, this

121
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 2: is that thing my dad be watching. So then I

122
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 2: started playing tennis. And then me and my dad like

123
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 2: had that as are like as our thing, and so

124
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 2: I played. But you know, it does really matter how

125
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 2: you start, because I learned all the wrong things. I

126
00:06:55,080 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 2: got patilaitenanis I berniated this like it just a bad

127
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 2: because the reality is like you don't realize tennis really

128
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 2: requires you to like be loose again.

129
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 3: I'm a child of immigrants. We don't know a loose.

130
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 3: We ain't never met a loose.

131
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 2: Okay, everything was hot, So I'm like Leaven my coach.

132
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 2: Now she's like, whll yo, why you grew up in

133
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 2: the rect I'm like, what am I supposed to do

134
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 2: with this.

135
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,360

Speaker 3: I can see your veins. I said, all hell.

137
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 2: So I got to unpack a lot of things in

138
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: therapy before.

139
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 3: I get to the court.

140
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: So anyway, I played in high school, got injured and

141
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 2: it was like all right, that was it.

142
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 3: Then of course, what happens. The pandemic comes and everyone's

143
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 3: learning the bike bread. I don't cook, so that was

Speaker 2: was such a studious student. I was like, what did

00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: the grown yeah, like water. I have three older brothers,

158
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: so like I just lived in that. My brother grew

159
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 2: up to be a boxer. Two of my brothers played football,

160
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 2: like basketball, like every like every sport was in my house.

161
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 3: So I thought I was my mother's fourth son, to

162
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 3: which she's like, no, no, no, I had maybe gat

163
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 3: And I was like okay.

164
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: So then I'm like, oh, you know what's really good

165
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 2: socially distancing and you can get a good workout.

166
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 3: Tennis.

167
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 2: It's the perfect sport for the pandemic. But here's what

168
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 2: to answer your question, why really rock with it? So

169
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 2: as a comedian, it's you and the microphone, and every

170
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 2: city you go it's a new tour, it's a new audience,

171
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 2: but you got the same jokes you got to say.

172
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 3: So on tennis, it's you and the racket. You go

173
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: to different cities, it's.

174
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 2: You and your it's you and your backstroke, it's you

175
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 2: in your front stroke, it's you different opponent and that

176
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 2: singularity of knowing you're either going to win. Like I

177
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 2: can tell when a tennis play is about to lose,

178
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 2: I show it off. I'm like, they're about to lose

179
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 2: because it's like are you still in the game, and

180
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 2: or like do you give up? Same thing with comedy, Yo,

181
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 2: you gotta find minute set. Never let him see you

182
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 2: sweat you just they don't know the rest of your material.

183
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 2: So finish your set out even if you're bombing right now,

184
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 2: fish your So for me as a comic, I really

185
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 2: sit in the singular nature of tennis and knowing that,

186
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 2: like it's kind of all on you in a way,

187
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 2: and I rock with that.

188
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: Do you feel like that gives you somewhat of an

189
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: advantage because I don't think most people have that tool

190
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: because it is like people always say, like, oh, these athletes,

191
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: how do you relate it to everyday life? And I

192
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: say this as a huge advocate to get women in sports.

193
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: You just nailed exactly what you said. Sport is such

194
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: a pivotal part to teach young girls and women how

195
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 1: to lead, how to stand in their own body, how

196
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: to appreciate what their body is capable of the mental

197
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: and physical aspects it gives you, and the toolbox it

198
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: gives you to navigate life. You're right, standing up there

199
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: is really no different than standing down there on the court. Yeah,

200
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: especially when it gets hard.

201
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 2: Listen, I think Billy jan King just said, like, you know,

202
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 2: sports teach women like you just said how to be leaders,

203
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 2: and I don't know. I think for me, I grew

204
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 2: up with boys, so even like that, like I was

205
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 2: always rough. I was like my brothers would would try

206
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 2: resting moves on me. They'd be like, yo, just sit

207
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 2: right there, We're just gonna put you to sleeperhole. I'm

208
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 2: like why, Like you're like like that out.

209
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 3: Bro, And then they were like, okay, We're gonna jump

210
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 3: from the couch and do a DDT move. I'm like,

211
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 3: why are you have some.

212
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: That's like you're speaking. I literally thought I was in

213
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: Mortal Kombat at one point. I was like, me and

214
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: my brother were like.

215
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 3: Oh finishing, finishing, ty girl.

216
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: Oh god, when I tell you Street Fighter and Morna Coombat,

217
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 2: me and Chung Lee hold on, and then ianah, this

218
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 2: move right here with yes, I'm sorry right now.

219
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: Wait, I'm getting so much whiplash between the fact that

220
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: you said you were like, yeah, I was in Nigeria.

221
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: Then I had to move to Maryland, which gives me

222
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: enough enough whiplash for the rest of the day. But

223
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: you also were like such a tomboy and you grew

224
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: up with brothers, but you went to an all girls

225
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: private school.

226
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 2: So yeah, glow, you'd be listening, okay, So I still

229
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:55,240

00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 2: an all girls born school, I say, it's very simple.

231

Speaker 3: I didn't.

265
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:30,800

Speaker 2: there was no focus on anything else, and we had

270
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,720

00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 3: the beautiful, this whole couple.

313
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 2: You know what, Jesus, you talk about two years and

314
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 2: then we don't have to figure this out.

315
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: We have to figure really, I've got a lot of friends. Listen,

316
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: I've got a lot of just a lot of availability.

317
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: You would be a a hot item for all of

318
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: my people. We are very we are very welcoming over here.

319
00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 2: Listen one my mother, my mother at some point and

320
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 2: I'll be like, oh, okay, just just anybody tell me

321
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 2: the truth, Like what thought we doing.

322
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 3: I'm like, whoa, whoa, wait, Mom, I.

323
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: Can't more shit she needs to go through I can't.

324
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 2: But yes, funny, I went to on an Argos boarding

325
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 2: school because my mother had a book for boarding schools

326
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 2: because he's very African, and so yeah, we all went

327
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 2: to boarding school.

328
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 3: But I was I was very much a tomboy.

329
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 2: And I think I think because I was like, well

330
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 2: if I'm not, if i'm not, if you don't think

331
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 2: i'm pretty, then I'm just gonna be smart. And so

332
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 2: then it didn't matter like what I wore or whatever,

333
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 2: So I didn't. It took me a while to be

334
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 2: able to say or believe that I was pretty, like

335
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 2: without the Kuchuma song, cause it just I wasn't affirmed.

336
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: I can't imagine. You know, when you go back to Nigeria,

337
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: you're seen as like an American girl, but when you're here,

338
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: you're seen as a Nigerian girl. So like, how do

339
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: you even see yourself?

340
00:16:59,680 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 3: Girl?

341
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: Up and not landscape? Well, where do you feel most

342
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: like yourself? I guess there's a better question both.

343
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 2: My dad did a very good job of being like

344
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 2: this is before the current state of affairs. My father

345
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 2: was like, if anything happens in America, where will you go? Okay, Nigeria,

346
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 2: that's the job. And I was like, well, also here,

347
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 2: also here, yeah, and so he definitely made sure that

348
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 2: we had a connection back on. So we stayed in

349
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 2: America for six years, and then when I turned twelve,

350
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 2: we were going back home for summer vacations, went to vacations,

351
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 2: and I remember my oldest brother, he spoke pigeon English,

352
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 2: and so when we would go to the market.

353
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 1: What is that?

354
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 2: Ah, That's like, you know is English, but it's like,

355
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 2: you know, when you go to markets, you can't just

356
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 2: be speaking regular English. You have to speak pigeon English

357
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 2: because then somebody will haggle you and then it will

358
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 2: see your morney and then you'll just be dead, like

359
00:17:58,560 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 2: what happened.

360
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 1: I can't wait for you to take me because I

361
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna confuse the fuck out of everyone. And

362
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: I'm into it.

363
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 2: Yes, So I would watch my older brother like speak

364
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 2: Ebo speak Vision English, and I was like, nah, I

365
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 2: need that for myself because it just felt so cool.

366
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 3: And again I wanted to be one of my brothers.

367
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 3: I wanted.

368
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 2: I wanted to even while I'm a comedian. The reason

369
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 2: I'm a comedian is one because of God.

370
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 3: But when.

371
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 2: I would see my dad holding court, So my father,

372
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 2: my grandfather was the king of our village. My father's

373
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 2: a chief and so we in our compound. He would

374
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 2: just have like cheers in a circle, bottles of goulder

375
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 2: and star, maybe some moett like just they're just kicking it.

376
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 2: We had like a ram barbecue like whatever. It was

377
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 2: like he just had his guy friends over. And my

378
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 2: dad has this belly laugh like it comes from his

379
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 2: big toe. Okay, it's like it it verberates through his body.

380
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 2: And I remember just sitting around as like a kid

381
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 2: to be like I want to hold court. Like I

382
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 2: didn't know I was gonna be a comedian because the

383
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 2: reality is I was silenced so much as a child

384
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 2: and as a youth, and then God gave me a microphone,

385
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 2: which I got things to say right, But in that moment,

386
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 2: I was like, man, when I do become a comedian.

387
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 2: When I did become a comedian, I was like, I

388
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 2: need to channel this energy. So I never felt like

389
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 2: I'm a girl. I hope you take me seriously. I

390
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 2: was like, yo, what up?

391
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 3: Doll? Like was good? Was popping? And because that starts though.

392
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: Like when did you like before when was it?

393
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 2: Like?

394
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 1: Aha, this is it? This is my microphone, this is

395
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: my future, this is my career and I'm good at it.

396
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: Like when was that? Because you say that lightly, But

397
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: like what people may not know about you is you're

398
00:19:55,400 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 1: highly fucking intelligent, Like you have a master's in health,

399
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: right public health? Yeah, public health. Like all of a sudden,

400
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 1: you're like.

401
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 2: I know what the best I think the best comments

402
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 2: are also the swartest comics because like the jokes you

403
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 2: can't see coming are like ah Chef's kids. But here's

404
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 2: the reality is, I didn't I was going to be

405
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 2: somebody's really bad doctor. Like I knew I would have

406
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 2: like very good bedside banners, but the actual practice of

407
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 2: like I don't like blood, like I'm telling somebody the

408
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 2: other day, I was like, I don't like blood so

409
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 2: much in every twenty eight days, I'm like again the

410
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 2: health the bommy eggs ym like I like it takes

411
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 2: me by surprise. I'm like, yeah, So anyway, how it happened,

412
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 2: I was getting my messages of public health because I knew.

413
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 3: I think I knew at.

414
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 2: Some point I didn't want to be a doctor, but

415
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 2: I didn't know what else I wanted to do because

416
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 2: I had spent so much time taking stem like I was.

417
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 3: You know, math science, et cetera.

418
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 2: So I was like, it's gonna be a hard pivot

419
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 2: to do anything else, So let me just go get

420
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 2: my master's of public health. That's like in the same realm.

421
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 2: And what I liked about public health was it was

422
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:13,239
Speaker 2: more it was more focused on people and traveling and like,

423
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 2: get how do we help people make better health decisions

424
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 2: but also take into account all the barriers for them to.

425
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 3: Make in those decisions.

426
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 2: So you can't just go into Kenya and be like

427
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 2: you should be getting vaccinated or you should use a

428
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 2: mosquito net. They're like what, And so it's like you

429
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 2: have to then like speak their language in order for

430
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 2: them to adopt the better health things. So I like that.

431
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 2: I was like, cause I like people again. Actually, when

432
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,479
Speaker 2: I tell you, I did not know that there were

433
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 2: celebrities that did not like people. I was like, what

434
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 2: how does work?

435
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I had no idea in my mind.

436
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 2: I'm like, if you're going to be like, if you're

437
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 2: a public figure, like this is part of it. But

438
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 2: I think I because I grew up without friends, I

439
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 2: think I genuinely have a heart for like people and

440
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 2: like making sure everyone feels connected and making sure people

441
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 2: feel seen and heard, So I think that maybe that's

442
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 2: my thing. So when I became a pebble figure for me,

443
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 2: I'm like, hi, how are you? And then I have

444
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 2: friends who're like, man, can we go?

445
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: I'm like that was that was us in Paris. You

446
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: couldn't pull us out of that dinner. We followed each

447
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,959
Speaker 1: other everywhere. We were the last lead. We were like,

448
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: of course, we were like having this dinner. I was like,

449
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: I gotta get up, I gotta go see. These are

450
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 1: the girls, these are the homies.

451
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 2: We got track and field to go watch, he got

452
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 2: things to do, right, Yeah, it was all the things.

453
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 2: So anyway, I so I'm getting my masters and my

454
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 2: one of my brothers comes to me and was like,

455
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 2: would you ever do a pageant? And I was like

456
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 2: what that means? And he was like, Yo, my friend

457
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 2: is doing this pageant, and I think again. I was

458
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 2: still like, I want to know if I'm pretty, Like

459
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 2: it sounds so crazy, but I was like, I want

460
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 2: to know if I'm pretty. And uh it was the

461
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 2: Miss Nigeria and America pageant, so it was very specific.

462
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 3: So I was like, I'm Nigerian and I'm in America.

463
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 2: Cool, don't go this This sounds very on brand.

464
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 3: So anyway, I what happened. So I didn't know that

465
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 3: much about it.

466
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, I'm pretty certain I'm gonna need

467
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 2: like a swimsuit and like a formal gown.

468
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 3: That was it.

469
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 2: Well, two weeks before the pageant, they hit me up.

470
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 2: I don't already sold tickets. I feel like this is

471
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 2: a shoeing. They're like, what's your talent? I said, oh, don't.

472
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 3: I don't really have one.

473
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 2: They're like, well, anybody who competes needs a talent. I said,

474
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 2: well you should have led with that. I wouldn't be competing.

475
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 2: And I'm like, I'm African, y'all know we don't. Like

476
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 2: in my mind was like we're African, we don't have talents.

477
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 2: Our talents are making straight a's. And they were like, nah,

478
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 2: sais you gotta figure it out. So one thing about me,

479
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,360
Speaker 2: I can let myself down. Sometimes I can't let other

480
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 2: people down, Like if I know you don't already bought tickets, Oh,

481
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 2: I gotta figure this out.

482
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 3: So I got saved freshman year of college.

483
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 2: So like became a born again Christian, like I I

484
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 2: was raised Catholic, but then like it like literally I

485
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 2: thought I was about to be out on these streets.

486
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 2: I was about to be on the swimming pool. And

487
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 2: the problem is my birthdays in December. So I started

488
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 2: in school when I was seventeen. So essentially God was like, okay,

489
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 2: you thought she was gonna be outside, And in my mind,

490
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 2: I was like when I turn eighteen, I'm about to

491
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 2: be doing this that that that God was like, well,

492
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 2: I got three months to get her, and.

493
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 3: He got me.

494
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 2: He got me in them three months. And I was like, ah,

495
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 2: well then, and that's how I got bamboos and by

496
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 2: Jesus how But anyway, so I didn't. I was just

497
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 2: like I really wanted to be pretty and so and

498
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 2: then but then they wanted me to have this talent.

499
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 2: So I'm like, all right, hey God, I'm in my

500
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 2: master's now. So I've been rocking with Jesus for a

501
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 2: couple of years, so I'm like, hey God, it's me.

502
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 3: Uh so you heard what they said. This is crazy. Help.

503
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 3: That's how my prayers go.

504
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 2: Like people be like that was now my prayer be like, hey,

505
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 2: well what up, Dad, what are you gonna do about this?

506
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 3: Because this is crazy?

507
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 2: And so I'm praying to Jesus, and before I even

508
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 2: get up off my knees, before I even finish the prayer,

509
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:12,719
Speaker 2: I hear do comedy and I said no, because are

510
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 2: you crazy? Like that doesn't make any sense? Like God,

511
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 2: I don't like being rejected. I was rejected half of

512
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 2: my childhood. If you're not funny as a comedian, guess

513
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 2: what they do they booth you know what? That is?

514
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 3: Rejection?

515
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 2: And then I'm gonna be performing in front of Africans,

516
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 2: which is even worse because they won't just boom, They'll

517
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 2: just be like, who's delta is this?

518
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 3: Get off these stage? No sense?

519
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 2: Like I, Oh my God, mortified. And so I'm pleading

520
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 2: my case with God. I'm like, hey God, I'm thinking

521
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 2: he gonna be like you right, thought her. I didn't

522
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 2: know what I was talking about. God was like, either

523
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 2: you're gonna learn to trust me or you won't.

524
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 3: And that was it. Conversation was over. He where'd you go?

525
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 3: He said, I'm not going out?

526
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 2: He basically Jesus said, I'm not going back and forth

527
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 2: with you, Okay, I'm living my mass life and so

528
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 2: and so, I at that moment had to figure out

529
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 2: am I going to learn? Am I going to trust

530
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 2: him like I say I do or I'm not. You

531
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, like, am I am I going

532
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 2: to do? Like the double Dutch Christianity of like I

533
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 2: trust you here, I'll trust you here, like am I

534
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 2: gonna pick and choose? And then I'm being honest with you.

535
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 2: I think people had let me down so much in

536
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 2: my life that it was easier to be like I

537
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,479
Speaker 2: ain't well guide you up and if it don't work out,

538
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 2: it's your fault. And if it do, then I'm riding.

539
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,959
Speaker 2: And I think that was just how I approached it.

540
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 2: So for those two weeks, I don't ask me how

541
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 2: this is nothing but those right.

542
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 1: Oh my god, the stress I feel right now.

543
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 2: I started like I was like an observer, like what

544
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 2: is that thing that my mom does or people in

545
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 2: the community do that is like really interesting looking at

546
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 2: it from a like Nigerian lens, but in an American landscape,

547
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 2: and so I'm like, oh, my mom does this thing.

548
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 3: I wonder if other people's parents do this thing.

549
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 2: And I was like, this is really funny because I'm

550
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 2: sure my American friends were like why did I do that?

551
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 3: So I just literally just started right now what I

552
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 3: thought and.

553
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 2: I was so deathly afraid, one of forgetting my lines

554
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 2: and two of people not laughing. So I didn't even

555
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 2: like there was when I performed it, there was no

556
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 2: like cause for laughter. I ain't know who's gonna come.

557
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 2: So I delivered it like it was like a monologue.

558
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 2: I delivered it like a script. So when people laughed,

559
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 2: I was like, y'all, y'all throw me off, please stop,

560
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 2: And they were like, see save.

561
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: The laughter till the end.

562
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. Literally, So anyway, it worked out well.

563
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 2: And at the end, this woman I've never read this

564
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 2: reporter was like, I got you're amazing. Do you do

565
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 2: weddings or birthdays? I said, m bar misfas I do it?

566
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,239
Speaker 2: Oh listen safe, it's your make it.

567
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: I love that. And I'm but you know what I

568
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: love so much about your work is it your humor

569
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 1: feels so rooted in your truth. So I imagine like your

570
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 1: background has really shaped your like comedic lens, which not

571
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: many people have, Like you have so much material because

572
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: like I can only imagine the shenanigans that go on

573
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: going back and forth. Because like I ended up going

574
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: to Liberia to do a women's empowerment I won the Labia. Yeah,

575
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: and I literally walked in. I had all my US

576
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: soccer gear on at the time. I was with h

577
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: one of our coaches at the time, Jill Ellis, and

578
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: I walked in and literally I just remember all of

579
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: these girls being like she looks like is that a

580
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: woman or Lebron James? I like, girl, I know, I'm

581
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: just as confused, trust me. Like it was so funny

582
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: to see and hear the things like zero filter all truth.

583
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: They were like this girl covered in tattoos, looking at

584
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: like what is this?

585
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 2: They probably were like, you know, like white people want

586
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 2: to test black people's hair in America.

587
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 3: That's why how they were when they were like we

588
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 3: what can we can we? Yeah? No? I So I worked.

589
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 3: So Liberia was where I went.

590
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 2: So after the pageant, I was like, God, am I

591
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 2: really about to do comedy? This is crazy? How am

592
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 2: I gonna tell your daughter?

593
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 3: My mother?

594
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 2: Because you know, she got to ill backhand and we're

595
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 2: not talking about she, we're not talking tennis and so exactly.

596
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 3: And so to stall from not going to med.

597
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 2: School, I was like, you know, I have to work.

598
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 2: I have to work in public health. And like Liberia

599
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 2: had just finished the war. It was easier for me

600
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 2: to go to war torn Liberia and stall than to

601
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 2: tell my parents like I think I want to do

602
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 2: comedy for a living. But to your point, like I

603
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 2: love going back home because it is so rich and

604
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 2: so ripe with with uh, with humor, because like every

605
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 2: Nigerians a comedian, like the real every oh, like yes,

606
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 2: every Nigerians, even when they're not trying to be funny,

607
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 2: every single like even like so my first special I did,

608
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 2: I shot it both in DC and in Nigeria. And

609
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 2: a friend was like, just ask just asking Nigerians for

610
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 2: directions is ridiculous because like they will lie to you

611
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 2: in your face, they don't know how to get there,

612
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 2: but they will make you believe like they can't just

613
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 2: say no.

614
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 3: And I was like, we're gonna test it out. Andy.

615
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 3: Sure enough, this one guy was like, eh, you want

616
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 3: to go with y'all? Go strets, go all the way down,

617
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 3: go down, down, down, down down. You got me. I'm like,

618
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 3: definitely missed it. Definitely, there was no street there I care.

619
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 2: So that's the kind of stuff that for me, I'm

620
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 2: always looking at. I'm very observation of my comedy and

621
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 2: so like, uh, I'm working on my third special.

622
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 3: So I'm going on my another tour.

623
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 2: I'm very I'm very excited about this one because I

624
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 2: get the most personal, like I've been personal and the

625
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 2: other ones, like the first one, my.

626
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 3: Mom made it.

627
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 2: That was like if I never get another special, this

628
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 2: is my love letter to my parents and to the culture,

629
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 2: to my It was brilliant.

630
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:25,719
Speaker 3: Thank by the way, thank you.

631
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: I really really loved it. That's that was one of

632
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: actually my favorite.

633
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 3: I appreciate that.

634
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 2: And then the second one was shot like it was

635
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 2: in the pandemic where we're going through a lot of change,

636
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 2: Like I think everyone was kind of doing like healing work,

637
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 2: and I had like a friendship breakup. And then I

638
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 2: also wanted to wanted it to be like a back

639
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 2: door to a sketch show, so people were kind of like, figure,

640
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 2: I'm always trying to figure out, like what's a creative

641
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 2: way to do with an hour? Like every you can

642
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 2: do an hour, you can just say I can do

643
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 2: an hour, but I'm always like, what else do I

644
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 2: want to say and with this time and with with

645
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 2: my creative because the reality is like as an actress,

646
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 2: as a comedian, as somebody who is a human being,

647
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 2: and learning, like I want to bring all those aspects

648
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 2: into my into my craft.

649
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 3: And so the third one it is.

650
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 2: It is it is going to be talking about all

651
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 2: the things people put on you when you turn forty,

652
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 2: like that you didn't ask for, like and and then

653
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 2: all the observations that you make about things that are

654
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 2: still happening, like in your fourth decade that you're like, you,

655
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 2: we haven't fixed this yet, like we we're.

656
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 3: Still here, okay, okay, yeah yeah.

657
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 2: And then and then I get personal about like the

658
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 2: relationships that I've had, which is very interesting because it's

659
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 2: like I I talk about this stuff that has like

660
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 2: I did wrong, and then and then the like the

661
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 2: people that I'm like, yeah, this is where it went

662
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 2: wrong and.

663
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 3: This is why we're no loment together.

664
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 2: So but in a funny way, like I've always I'm always,

665
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 2: I would say protective of people, but I'm never going

666
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 2: to be that comment that will say something crazy because

667
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 2: I can't fight you.

668
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 3: I make you disappear because I know the people in

669
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,719
Speaker 3: the villa. I can't fight.

670
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: But it's it's the truth because like I said before,

671
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: like so much of what you've done, you've really literally

672
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: and figuratively have opened the doors of your home, like

673
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: you brought all of us into what it looks like

674
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: between the whiplash of where you were born and coming

675
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: here and experiencing this wild ass culture. But do you

676
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: feel because of that openness and you are very open

677
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: in everything you do, how how do you handle the

678
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: public scrutiny? Like how do you protect your peace as

679
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: a comedian who has to live life through story telling

680
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: and vulnerability? Like that is the through line because they'll

681
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: sniff out the fakeness really quick.

682
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 3: I think I think a couple of things happen.

683
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 2: One before even so comedy was my like my gateway

684
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 2: into acting, and before I even like got on the

685
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 2: main stage, right me, Me and God had our conversations privately,

686
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 2: like in those very I called them the pride Land years,

687
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 2: the scar like I was like, moas gone, this is

688
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 2: Simba has taken over the Pride Lands and.

689
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 3: We are arged.

690
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 2: So in those in that season, God really was like,

691
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 2: I got to prepare you. Uh, And I heard I

692
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 2: heard a pastor say this way, So I'll just this

693
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 2: is the only thing that makes the most sense. She said,

694
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 2: if the spotlight shining on you is greater than the

695
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 2: light shining in you, then the light shining on you

696
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 2: will kill you.

697
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 3: And yeah, I'm gonna let them murn it.

698
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 2: Wow, Yeah, because I think a lot of people are

699
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 2: like looking for the spotlight. A lot of people are like, yeah,

700
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,280
Speaker 2: it's trying to but if like the light in here

701
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 2: is hella dim, then that light is gonna be so

702
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 2: bright it's gonna burn.

703
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 3: It's gonna burn you. And I think when I was hidden,

704
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 3: God and I we were like, all right, so who

705
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 3: you gonna be? Like, what does integrity look like for you?

706
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 2: What is being a person of high character look like

707
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 2: for you?

708
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 3: You know, what does excellence look like? Like?

709
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 2: All those conversations that I think people don't think are

710
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 2: important because you're like, I'm just trying to make it.

711
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get this money. I'm just trying to

712
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 2: be famous. And as somebody who's in the public eye,

713
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 2: whenever anyone says they want to be famous, I exit

714
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 2: stage left like I can't be because that means you

715
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 2: will do anything to be famous, and I you need people.

716
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 2: Someone said you always gotta hang around with people who

717
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 2: got something to lose, Like, like, don't don't hang around

718
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 2: nobody that's like you gotta hang around people who got

719
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 2: something to lose, like they children, you know, they fall

720
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 2: on kay like sign like like they you can't just

721
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 2: be out here willy nilly. And so for me, I

722
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 2: was never chasing fame. I was always chasing purpose and

723
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 2: so yeah, I love that because this is a god dream.

724
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: Like.

725
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 2: There was no version of me that was like I

726
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 2: want to be a coman and not even when I

727
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 2: was watching my dad, I was like, oh, I want

728
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 2: to hold court, but I don't know what that means,

729
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,399
Speaker 2: like I just want to I want to be able

730
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,240
Speaker 2: to have a good group of friends like my dad

731
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 2: had that like would laugh with him. That didn't translate

732
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 2: to I want to be in the public eye as

733
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 2: a comedian. So anyway, by the time Insecure happened, it

734
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 2: wasn't about like I was in service to Lisa. Like

735
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 2: for me, like I like, I know, I booked it.

736
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 2: I did, there was five auditions. I believe I'm talented,

737
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 2: but I really do believe it was because I was

738
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 2: willing to be in service to Lisa and her vision.

739
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 2: It was never like the by Norgy Show. It wasn't

740
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 2: like pick me, pick me, pick me. It was like, oh,

741
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 2: I have a front row seat, and how I serve

742
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 2: this woman is how one day someone will serve me.

743
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 2: So if I trick off this experience, trust and believe

744
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 2: when it's my turn, it's not gonna end well. And

745
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 2: So I feel like when you talk about being in

746
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 2: the public eye and the scrutiny, no one loves being scrutinized,

747
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:13,800
Speaker 2: because scrutiny something a lot of times means you were misunderstood,

748
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 2: you know. And we've talked about this a little bit.

749
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 2: People don't like nuanced like Instagram, Twitter, social media is

750
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 2: not a place where you can have nuanced dialogue. No,

751
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 2: because people at all. People don't even read headlines. We're

752
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 2: not even talking about the whole article. We're not even

753
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 2: talking about like the like people read comments and like

754
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 2: docs and and emoji. They don't read headlines. So you

755
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 2: think that somebody who's not even taking the time to

756
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 2: care about what you meant, what you what you're trying

757
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 2: to say, is going to give you grace. So I

758
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 2: think whenever I have been scrutinized, I'm like two things.

759
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 2: Am I getting grace in this moment? Have I given

760
00:37:56,360 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 2: grace in this moment for other people? And also, do

761
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 2: any of these people pay my bills.

762
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 3: Ooh that part right?

763
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 2: I have part like not you know, like because it's

764
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 2: just like I can't even what's your what is your

765
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 2: screen name? You you have zero followers and your private

766
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:19,240
Speaker 2: and get like stuff.

767
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 3: You have two poles like this is a bot. I'm

768
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 3: not arguing with you, like god bless like I'm not to.

769
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 1: Touch your energy, yeah, yeah, your energy?

770
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,720
Speaker 3: And then it's just like a piece.

771
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 2: Do any of these people want to understand my point

772
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 2: of view? And if the answer is no, then it's

773
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 2: just like then what you're arguing for? They don't want to,

774
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 2: Like you only engage in conversation with people who are

775
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 2: who are designed the desiring dialogue when people don't desire dialogue,

776
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:49,800
Speaker 2: but they just want like your downfall.

777
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 3: They don't desire dialogue, they desire your downfall.

778
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: Well that's that's like the current landscape right now. Yeah,

779
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: that's what people want. People are fueling just hatred and

780
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 1: like you nailed it. Stay tuned. I'll be back in

781
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 1: just a moment after this brief message from our sponsors though,

782
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: But what you often like people often talk about making it,

783
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: but few actually talk about what comes after it and

784
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 1: what I can only imagine after Insecure, I know you

785
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 1: were you say you were like you are meant for

786
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: that moment. Thank you, Like I do, I thought your character.

787
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 1: I thought you did such a fucking insane job you

788
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: added so like everyone could sit down and be like,

789
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: oh I fuck with that as like I want that

790
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: to be my type of friendship. I want to have

791
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: that kind of fun. I want to have that lightness.

792
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 1: I want to have that kind of connection in a

793
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 1: world right now that is so fragmented. Like that was

794
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: a beautiful storyline. And I imagine it has been quite

795
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 1: a hard shift for you because I like that fucking

796
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: show took off, which means your life probably changed very quickly.

797
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 2: It was a role of a lifetime. And when I

798
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 2: tell you, we were in the Pride Lands for a

799
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 2: long time. So I remember being like, oh, I don't

800
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 2: want to pay my my student loans, uh incrementally, I

801
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 2: want to write one check for them. Now this is

802
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,839
Speaker 2: when you're poor. So like me, when you talking about

803
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 2: dream big, I am the epitome of like, so, what's

804
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 2: the biggest desire you have?

805
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:32,720
Speaker 3: Like and I just like I just I want.

806
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 2: To write one check when you can't even put gas

807
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 2: in your car for twenty dollars, but you're like, you're

808
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 2: gonna write a check for fifty thousand dollars in one

809
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 2: like I love this for you.

810
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 3: And that's say I deferred the firs. I know. GW

811
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 3: was like, oh where is your where is all maney,

812
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 3: You're not even us this degree, no more pay us back.

813
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 3: And there was there was one woman, Miss Ruth. I

814
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:56,399
Speaker 3: want to tell you there are some people that got

815
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 3: really put in your life as angels. I think miss

816
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:00,240
Speaker 3: Ruth stuck around.

817
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:05,760
Speaker 2: This Ruth to retire until after I paid my dance

818
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 2: it alone because she was the one who who who

819
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 2: processed our deferments, and so I was the fern.

820
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:13,439
Speaker 3: The fern.

821
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 2: She was like, it's okay, I just need to know

822
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 2: you was looking for a job. I said, Miss Ruth,

823
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 2: I'm doing my best. She's like, it's okay, baby, we

824
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,760
Speaker 2: believe in you. And then I said, miss Ruth.

825
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,320
Speaker 3: I called her. I said, Miss Ruth, I'm paid it.

826
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 3: She's like all of it.

827
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,320
Speaker 2: I said, I paid it all and she was so

828
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 2: like she took that call, she took that check and

829
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 2: like the next week she was like, I'm retired. I said,

830
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 2: so yes, my life changed in the in the in

831
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 2: the best way. But then also here's the crazy thing.

832
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 2: Remember how I told you like I didn't think I

833
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 2: was pretty. So now when people see Molly, I'm confused

834
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:58,280
Speaker 2: because they're like, yo, Evannas, like you know, women crushed

835
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 2: Wednesday goals And I'm like, because I got somebody else's

836
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 2: hair in my head, like because I got a new

837
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 2: clothes like I didn't because when I was bullied, I

838
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 2: was like, look at me because I'm smart, because you're

839
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 2: not gonna look at me because I'm pretty. And so

840
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 2: now I have this role where I get to play

841
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 2: this smart and beautiful woman and now guys are like

842
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 2: and I'm like, this is that was more of a

843
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 2: Jedi mind trick for me, Like I was like, I

844
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 2: don't know how to process this, and then it's you're

845
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 2: just like, well, what's real? And I'm so grateful that

846
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 2: I had that season of not just poverty but just preparation. Yeah,

847
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,280
Speaker 2: because when I did make it, I got the same friends.

848
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 2: Like I remember I got one friend, Shamikaika Shamika Shamika.

849
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:47,919
Speaker 2: I used to talk with the ninety nine cents store

850
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 2: heavy I like because I could get groceries and I

851
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 2: could get good.

852
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. You can get arugula and

853
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 3: you can get some scotch tape for a dollar.

854
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 2: And I remember remember when we booked and Secure, Jay

855
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 2: Ellison was like, you know, you can't shop at the

856
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 2: ninety nine cents store no more.

857
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 3: And I was like, man, you don't know.

858
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: My life, like you know, cause you're like, watch me.

859
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 2: Bro because after season one, I was back to being

860
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 2: broke because I paid off all my debts like a lanister.

861
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 3: Okay, I was gave with thrones. The lanister pays.

862
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 1: Their n juice. But I was let it fly, baby,

863
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 1: let it fly.

864
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 2: And my friend Shamika was like, what you need. I

865
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 2: was like, I really need to go shopping in a

866
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 2: ninety nine cents store because that's all I can afford.

867
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 2: But Jay told me I can't be seen there, and

868
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 2: she said, wait in the parking lot, give me your money,

869
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 2: and she went in and got me and like came

870
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 2: out with my bags.

871
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,439
Speaker 3: And I said, that's a real one. That's a yes,

872
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:40,760
Speaker 3: that's a friend.

873
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:46,839
Speaker 2: And so with the life changingness of Insecure, it's like, yes,

874
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 2: my life changed, but my circle, my core was what

875
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:56,240
Speaker 2: held me down. Because again, when you become a public figure.

876
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 2: You don't know why people want to be your friend.

877
00:43:58,560 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 2: You don't know why people want to be around you,

878
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 2: because I'm like, hi, y'all met.

879
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: We have known each other for a very very long time.

00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 1: So I mean she was straight, so I was like,
