7
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:33.960
There were two grown-ass women sharing a bedroom, looking truly in the couch for quarters,

8
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:35.960
so we could buy food that day.

9
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:43.960
I'm so sure it right now, I can't believe I'm sitting!

10
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:50.240
I was cool, I was like, I want to be clean.

11
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:51.240
I want to be clean.

12
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:53.240
You don't find that tapet anti-black?

13
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:54.240
Tabasco's hot.

14
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:56.240
We had it happen, didn't you really catch it?

15
00:00:56.240 --> 00:01:03.240
Hey, we fit to go to the club and get cropped with Brittany.

16
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:10.840
I knew you'd have it.

17
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:11.840
What is up neighbors?

18
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.800
Today we've got the powerhouse Quinta Brunson pulling up to the house today.

19
00:01:15.800 --> 00:01:20.160
Now her show Abbott Elementary has millions of us laughing every single week.

20
00:01:20.160 --> 00:01:24.920
It's been called the show that is saving sitcoms, and so it's no wonder that she and her

21
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:29.800
fantastic cast have Emmy and Golden Globe wins under their belts, and it's just been

22
00:01:29.800 --> 00:01:32.040
renewed for a sixth season.

23
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:35.920
But I bet Quinta is the kind of house guest that will pull up with a story or two, but

24
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:41.160
will leave Jelevia feeling inspired to get working on that thing you've been waiting

25
00:01:41.160 --> 00:01:42.160
on.

26
00:01:42.160 --> 00:01:43.160
Come on in.

27
00:01:43.160 --> 00:01:44.160
I was just admiring your kitchen.

28
00:01:44.160 --> 00:01:45.160
Right?

29
00:01:45.160 --> 00:01:46.160
It's gorgeous.

30
00:01:46.160 --> 00:01:47.880
It's a beautiful sunny day here in the valley.

31
00:01:47.880 --> 00:01:48.880
It's hot outside.

32
00:01:48.880 --> 00:01:49.880
It's so hot.

33
00:01:49.880 --> 00:01:52.880
And I figured because it was hot, you maybe want something that's a little refreshing

34
00:01:52.880 --> 00:01:53.880
to you.

35
00:01:53.880 --> 00:01:54.880
I like Arnold Palmer's.

36
00:01:54.880 --> 00:01:55.880
I love it.

37
00:01:55.880 --> 00:01:57.880
I'm going to spike mine.

38
00:01:57.880 --> 00:01:59.480
I've got some tequila for mine.

39
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:00.480
You want to vodka for yours, right?

40
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:02.160
I'm going to take a little vodka with mine.

41
00:02:02.160 --> 00:02:03.160
Let's do it.

42
00:02:03.160 --> 00:02:07.160
Now when you do a Arnold Palmer, I know it's a joke on the show.

43
00:02:07.160 --> 00:02:08.320
Yes, yes in the show.

44
00:02:08.320 --> 00:02:09.320
It was hilarious.

45
00:02:09.320 --> 00:02:10.320
Thank you.

46
00:02:10.320 --> 00:02:11.960
The addiction to Arnold Palmer's.

47
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:12.960
Yes.

48
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:14.640
But do you, are you a half and half kind of girl?

49
00:02:14.640 --> 00:02:15.640
What's your wish?

50
00:02:15.640 --> 00:02:16.640
I want to tell you something about me.

51
00:02:16.640 --> 00:02:17.640
Quinta Brunson me.

52
00:02:17.640 --> 00:02:21.360
I actually don't know shit about Arnold Palmer's.

53
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:22.360
I really don't.

54
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:23.360
It's just.

55
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:24.360
You give it down.

56
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:25.360
Yeah.

57
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:26.640
I don't really know much about him.

58
00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:28.880
My stylist, she's addicted to them.

59
00:02:28.880 --> 00:02:34.760
And so I just thought it was a funny joke for someone that was a little chaotic to be.

60
00:02:34.760 --> 00:02:35.760
Really?

61
00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:36.760
She can't live without him.

62
00:02:36.760 --> 00:02:37.760
And so she drinks.

63
00:02:37.760 --> 00:02:38.760
And I'll be honest.

64
00:02:38.760 --> 00:02:39.760
I didn't really.

65
00:02:39.760 --> 00:02:40.760
You didn't really.

66
00:02:40.760 --> 00:02:41.760
I don't know what it was.

67
00:02:41.760 --> 00:02:42.760
I don't know.

68
00:02:42.760 --> 00:02:43.760
It really.

69
00:02:43.760 --> 00:02:44.760
You said that's it?

70
00:02:44.760 --> 00:02:45.760
Yeah.

71
00:02:45.760 --> 00:02:46.760
I know.

72
00:02:46.760 --> 00:02:47.760
It really worked for Janine.

73
00:02:47.760 --> 00:02:48.760
Where you were like, what else is what is in there?

74
00:02:48.760 --> 00:02:49.760
Yeah.

75
00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:51.760
People were like, it's just tea and lemonade.

76
00:02:51.760 --> 00:02:52.760
Yeah.

77
00:02:52.760 --> 00:02:55.360
It doesn't present as more exciting, though.

78
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:56.360
Yes.

79
00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:57.360
The way people go off about it.

80
00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:58.360
Oh, yeah.

81
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:02.000
And also, I feel like there are people who feel very strongly about whether it should

82
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:04.560
be unsweet tea and sweet and lemonade.

83
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:08.160
The hardest I ever wrote.

84
00:03:08.160 --> 00:03:09.160
Oh, no.

85
00:03:09.160 --> 00:03:13.880
That was an unnecessary eye roll for people with preferences about Arnold Palmer's.

86
00:03:13.880 --> 00:03:15.880
Thank you for the raspberries.

87
00:03:15.880 --> 00:03:19.960
Can I tell the funny story of how you asked what I'm going to eat here today?

88
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:25.160
And I said turkey slices and raspberries, and I'm sure you thought I was a carnivorous

89
00:03:25.160 --> 00:03:26.160
rabbit or something.

90
00:03:26.160 --> 00:03:28.400
So the thing about it is, we eat and we drink on this show.

91
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:29.400
You do.

92
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:30.400
Yeah.

93
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:31.400
And I know you know that.

94
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:32.400
I do know that.

95
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:33.400
That's when we were like, what do you want to eat?

96
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:37.000
She was like, I'll take some turkey slices and some raspberries.

97
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:38.000
Okay.

98
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:39.000
And I was like, is she trolling me?

99
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:40.000
No, I wasn't.

100
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:43.840
To be fair, I got asked during awards ceremony season, which we're there.

101
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:44.840
True.

102
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:45.840
Madness.

103
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:46.840
And you know that it's madness.

104
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:48.480
It's my protein and my fiber.

105
00:03:48.480 --> 00:03:51.160
I didn't even think about the idea of eating a meal.

106
00:03:51.160 --> 00:03:53.040
I just was trying to get my protein in.

107
00:03:53.040 --> 00:03:57.360
She said, when I realized this morning, I said, oh, damn, yeah, I watched Kyloprite eating

108
00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:58.360
a full meal.

109
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:00.360
I was like, he probably was talking about this.

110
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:01.360
Full meal.

111
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:02.360
This.

112
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:07.400
Well, you're in luck because we're going to do, it's because again, it's warm outside.

113
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:11.120
So we're going to do like chef salads and I'm going to make the dressing before we

114
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:12.120
head out.

115
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:13.120
You know what I'm saying?

116
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:14.360
You're going to make yourself.

117
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:15.360
Yeah.

118
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:16.360
For you.

119
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:17.360
What's that?

120
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:18.360
What are you going to put in it?

121
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:19.360
We'll talk about that later.

122
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:20.360
Okay, I'm jumping.

123
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:21.360
No, no, but it's.

124
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:22.360
We'll talk about that later.

125
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:23.360
We'll talk about that later.

126
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:24.360
I don't really entirely know.

127
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:25.360
Oh.

128
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:27.360
Is it going to be FDA approved?

129
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:28.360
Somebody's FDA.

130
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:29.360
All right.

131
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:30.360
I'm not working right now.

132
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:31.360
I can get food poisoning.

133
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:32.360
The modem confidence.

134
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:33.360
Why not?

135
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:34.360
Cheers.

136
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:35.360
Cheers indeed.

137
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:36.360
Thank you.

138
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:38.360
That's what I need it.

139
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:39.360
Okay.

140
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:41.360
Not to be genuine about it.

141
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:43.360
Okay.

142
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:44.360
Not to be genuine about it.

143
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:49.360
Because the real one I had, the one I had on set as genuine didn't taste like anything.

144
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:50.360
You know, it's food coloring and shit.

145
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:51.360
Right.

146
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:52.360
This is really good.

147
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:53.360
See?

148
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:54.360
You said, oh, maybe this is my thing.

149
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:55.360
But it tastes alright.

150
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:57.360
Oh, maybe this is my thing.

151
00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:58.360
Hmm.

152
00:04:58.360 --> 00:04:59.360
Hmm.

153
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:05.360
Last time I saw you would have been at the glad media awards.

154
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:06.360
Yes.

155
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:07.360
What a fun time.

156
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:09.360
Where you received the Vanguard award.

157
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:10.360
I got to present that to you.

158
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:11.360
Yeah.

159
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:22.360
The Vanguard award is for people who are true allies who use their work, their platform as a way to expand what it looks like for LGBTQ plus people in this country.

160
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:23.360
Yeah.

161
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:26.360
So it was an honor to be able to present that award to you.

162
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:31.360
But I tell you, I lost my mind when I should have been that gray suit and you walked up on that stage.

163
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:32.360
I know.

164
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:35.360
And that gray suit and I said, I feel like.

165
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:37.360
The fact that we didn't coordinate that.

166
00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:38.360
But we're there.

167
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:47.360
Well, I feel very locked in with you because I think that you're one of the people I see in this industry who is doing something that's really, really unique.

168
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:51.360
And people often will bring it up with me and like Abbott.

169
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:56.360
So when you actually get to see somebody else doing something that really is incredible.

170
00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:57.360
I don't know.

171
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:01.360
It makes you excited and tend to wear the same color suit.

172
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:02.360
It happens.

173
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:03.360
I think we're just locked in.

174
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:04.360
Locked in.

175
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:06.360
So you know, we were going to call this game say less, but I'm going to call it locked in.

176
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:07.360
Okay.

177
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:08.360
So we got some scenarios.

178
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:10.360
And I want to know if we can communicate.

179
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:11.360
Okay.

180
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:12.360
We can stay locked in.

181
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:13.360
Okay.

182
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:16.360
Ooh, best 90s sitcom of all time.

183
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:17.360
90s sitcom.

184
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:18.360
Of all time.

185
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:20.360
Best 90s sitcom.

186
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:22.360
Okay, best.

187
00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:24.360
What would you say?

188
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:27.360
I'm going to say it.

189
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:29.360
Do we, are we flipping this thing?

190
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:30.360
One, two, three.

191
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:32.360
Three fresh friends of all air.

192
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:33.360
Whoa.

193
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:38.360
You're showing off someone who's a little, a little scary.

194
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:41.360
I mean, I didn't say favorite person.

195
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:42.360
I know.

196
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:45.360
And this day and age, that makes me think you love that guy.

197
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:48.360
The first of all, fuck you out.

198
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:51.360
The finish line with, oh.

199
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:52.360
Interesting.

200
00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:53.360
Okay.

201
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:54.360
Here's the thing.

202
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:55.360
What are your thoughts on Trump?

203
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:57.360
I want to know where I am.

204
00:06:57.360 --> 00:06:58.360
I want to do it.

205
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:00.360
You're in the same place.

206
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:03.360
The thing that I remember that was so impactful about this show

207
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.360
was that I felt like this was a family.

208
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:09.360
I'm a family unit that in a lot of ways mirrored mine

209
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:11.360
and didn't at all at the same time.

210
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:12.360
Yeah, definitely.

211
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:13.360
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

212
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:15.360
I remember feeling like connected to that family.

213
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:16.360
Totally.

214
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:17.360
I feel the same way.

215
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:19.360
And it wasn't until I was a little older

216
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:22.360
that the fresh friends of Bel Air kicked in for me.

217
00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:23.360
Interesting.

218
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:27.360
Okay, Kazmi Shob was on in my household daily, nightly.

219
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:28.360
Right.

220
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:32.360
So it definitely was just part of the sitcom experience

221
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:34.360
and the Brunson household experience.

222
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:36.360
It was also very well written.

223
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:39.360
And I think that's something we underestimate with these shows.

224
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:40.360
Yes.

225
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:42.360
You know, like, that's why it stands the test of time

226
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:43.360
because it was written so well.

227
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:45.360
I go with Fresh Prince of Bel Air,

228
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:49.360
because it's the most well written pilot of all time.

229
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:52.360
Not out of sitcoms, not out of black sitcoms.

230
00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:55.360
It is airtight when I was a kid.

231
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:58.360
I memorized it without even realizing it.

232
00:07:58.360 --> 00:07:59.360
Wait, wait, wait, what?

233
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:02.360
So I had it on VHS recorded.

234
00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:05.360
Before I even thought about going into comedy writing,

235
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:07.360
I had it memorized.

236
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:09.360
And then when I was older,

237
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:11.360
I learned what a sitcom pilot was or what a pilot was.

238
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:12.360
Right.

239
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:13.360
And I don't know.

240
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:16.360
The Fresh Prince, there's always these conversations

241
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:20.360
that happen around television shows

242
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:23.360
and black sitcoms specifically.

243
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:26.360
And Cosby Show, great example.

244
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:31.360
But the Fresh Prince was an example of a show that was black,

245
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:33.360
but for everybody.

246
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:35.360
Everybody loved the Fresh Prince.

247
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:36.360
Everyone to be the Fresh Prince.

248
00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:40.360
Yes. And people often turn not everyone into just white people,

249
00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:44.360
but no, like I know Hispanic kids and Asian kids.

250
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:47.360
Everybody loved the Fresh Prince.

251
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:51.360
And so I thought it was so unifying.

252
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:57.360
And it's definitely the biggest example of sitcom writing that I follow.

253
00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:59.360
I should have known.

254
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:03.360
Considering it's also kind of a hometown hero situation for you.

255
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:04.360
I should have known.

256
00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:06.360
I don't even factor that part into it.

257
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:08.360
Maybe I'm biased.

258
00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:09.360
Okay, I'll lock in.

259
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:10.360
Lock in.

260
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:14.360
Oh, what is the best condiment?

261
00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:15.360
I did.

262
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:19.360
I thought I said, what is the best condiment first?

263
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:20.360
I did.

264
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:22.360
What would have been your answer?

265
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:26.360
Well, I said, I mean, you know,

266
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:29.360
I think the commercial favorite would be Trojan.

267
00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:30.360
Trojan.

268
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:33.360
But if you're a man of a certain, you know,

269
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:35.360
you have to probably move to Magnum's.

270
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:36.360
I'm just a girl.

271
00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:37.360
I don't know.

272
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:38.360
Whatever you guys want.

273
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:39.360
I don't know.

274
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:40.360
So whatever you got.

275
00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:41.360
Whatever you guys got.

276
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:42.360
Just use it.

277
00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:43.360
Just use it.

278
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:45.360
Um, best condiment.

279
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:48.360
Things that go, like, that take the meal up a notch.

280
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:49.360
Sauses.

281
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:51.360
And we're not counting seasonings in this.

282
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:52.360
No.

283
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:53.360
Just condiments.

284
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:54.360
Just condiments.

285
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:55.360
Oh, Jesus Christ.

286
00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:57.360
Look at me.

287
00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:58.360
You know.

288
00:09:58.360 --> 00:09:59.360
I don't know that I know.

289
00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:00.360
You do.

290
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:01.360
I mean.

291
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:02.360
I mean, on everything.

292
00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:03.360
On everything.

293
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:04.360
I mean, I'm gonna say.

294
00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:05.360
Yeah.

295
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:08.360
It feels reductive, but.

296
00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:09.360
But it feels right.

297
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:10.360
Yeah.

298
00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:12.360
There's multiple answers, but there's really only one answer.

299
00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:14.360
But of that one answer, there's a lot.

300
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:15.360
Oh, my God.

301
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:16.360
There's so many.

302
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:17.360
Okay.

303
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:18.360
I think we might have the same one.

304
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:19.360
You ready?

305
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:20.360
Three, two, one.

306
00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:21.360
Yeah.

307
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:22.360
Because I said.

308
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.360
Because I was trying to think, well, it's versatile.

309
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:25.360
It really is.

310
00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:29.360
And after you come out here to LA, you learn about Siracha's place

311
00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:31.360
in the world in various dishes.

312
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:32.360
And I still count that as a hot sauce.

313
00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:33.360
I agree.

314
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:34.360
And you can do what I don't count.

315
00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:36.360
And I think we should just throw it away.

316
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:37.360
Crystal?

317
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:38.360
No.

318
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:39.360
Oh.

319
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:41.360
Oh, my God.

320
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:42.360
What did we do?

321
00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:43.360
I think you got to have it in the house.

322
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:44.360
No, you don't.

323
00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:45.360
Oh.

324
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:46.360
For what?

325
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:47.360
You don't find that a tapet and tea black?

326
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:48.360
Tabasco sauce?

327
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:50.360
I feel like it's in every black household, no?

328
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:52.360
You know why I sent it in black households?

329
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:53.360
It's not.

330
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:54.360
For white company.

331
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:55.360
Oh, no.

332
00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:57.360
I never buy it, but it's somehow in my cabinet.

333
00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:59.360
It's been there since you were born.

334
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:01.360
Do they give it to you for oysters?

335
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:03.360
They'll give it to you at a hotel.

336
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:04.360
You know what?

337
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:05.360
You know what?

338
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:06.360
You know what?

339
00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:07.360
Yeah, that's why I sent my house.

340
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:08.360
For the oysters?

341
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:09.360
She saved your ass.

342
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:13.360
She saved your ass because it was about to be done.

343
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:14.360
Yeah, no.

344
00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:16.360
I'm a crystal girl.

345
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:17.360
Yes.

346
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:18.360
Hey, I actually enjoyed Frank's red.

347
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:19.360
I'm Frank's red hot.

348
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:20.360
I'm not mad at him.

349
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:21.360
I'm buttery, vinegary hot sauce.

350
00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:22.360
Yeah.

351
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:23.360
Yeah.

352
00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:24.360
Ooh, I want some crab legs.

353
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:25.360
You don't want turkey slices?

354
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:26.360
I don't want turkey slices.

355
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:31.360
What would you have done if I said crab legs for your show?

356
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:32.360
I don't got your crab legs.

357
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:33.360
You would?

358
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:34.360
I'd have made them.

359
00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:35.360
I got a pot.

360
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:38.360
Okay, what's the most quotable movie of all time?

361
00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:39.360
Oh.

362
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:40.360
That's hard.

363
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:41.360
That's hard.

364
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:42.360
Also, that's a crazy ass question.

365
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:43.360
Yeah.

366
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:45.360
We're not going to have the same one on that.

367
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:46.360
What?

368
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:47.360
Why are you so sure?

369
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:48.360
Most quotable.

370
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:50.360
We're not saying best.

371
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:51.360
Not saying best.

372
00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:53.360
We're saying most quotes per second.

373
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:54.360
Ha ha ha.

374
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:55.360
They are.

375
00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:56.360
Yeah.

376
00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:57.360
That is a showrunner.

377
00:11:57.360 --> 00:11:58.360
Yeah.

378
00:11:58.360 --> 00:11:59.360
And for your ass.

379
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:00.360
Yeah.

380
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:01.360
Quotes per second.

381
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:02.360
I have my anxiety.

382
00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:03.360
I already know what's going on.

383
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:04.360
Okay, let me see.

384
00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:05.360
Let me say it.

385
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:06.360
Which are eyes?

386
00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:07.360
Which are eyes.

387
00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:12.360
I'm giving you a hint.

388
00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:14.360
Oh.

389
00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:15.360
P?

390
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:16.360
Okay.

391
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:17.360
I don't know if I spelled right.

392
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:18.360
That's supposed to be.

393
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:19.360
You're supposed to pick on your honest truth.

394
00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:20.360
No, we was just locking in.

395
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:21.360
Okay.

396
00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:22.360
Because my only thing in mind is different.

397
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:23.360
I think it is too.

398
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:24.360
You ready?

399
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:25.360
Yep.

400
00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:28.360
One, two, bam.

401
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:31.360
I was going to say Friday, and I really didn't want to be wrong.

402
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:33.360
I shouldn't have just decided to be wrong.

403
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:34.840
Now, you know, you wouldn't have been.

404
00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:36.440
But that was that from my eyes.

405
00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:37.280
That was the eyebrow.

406
00:12:37.280 --> 00:12:38.120
Okay, okay.

407
00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:39.440
Because before I was gonna go,

408
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:40.720
I was gonna go dark.

409
00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:41.560
What were you gonna say?

410
00:12:41.560 --> 00:12:42.200
Deaches.

411
00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:43.040
Oh, peaches.

412
00:12:43.040 --> 00:12:44.800
I've never seen that Caucasian film.

413
00:12:44.800 --> 00:12:46.120
It's a very quotable movie, apparently.

414
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:46.960
I've never seen that.

415
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:48.280
You agree, though, right?

416
00:12:48.280 --> 00:12:49.120
Hey, you're man.

417
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:50.880
My apartment smells of rich mahogany.

418
00:12:50.880 --> 00:12:53.480
You know, almost every line in that movie,

419
00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:54.320
it is a call.

420
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:55.320
Man, you never found books.

421
00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:56.880
A punch in your womb.

422
00:12:56.880 --> 00:12:57.720
What?

423
00:12:57.720 --> 00:12:58.720
How are we doing?

424
00:12:58.720 --> 00:12:59.560
Yeah, what are we doing?

425
00:12:59.560 --> 00:13:00.400
What are we doing?

426
00:13:00.400 --> 00:13:01.240
They were going crazy.

427
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:02.240
What are they doing, too?

428
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:04.600
I have wanted to go with most quotable in the world,

429
00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:07.720
but Friday, I would say is most quotable in black community.

430
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:08.600
Is that fair to say?

431
00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:09.440
Yes.

432
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:10.880
But now, the bifilecia?

433
00:13:10.880 --> 00:13:11.720
I know.

434
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:14.600
This is just going into just regular vernacular,

435
00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:15.480
which is good, though.

436
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:16.320
Great.

437
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:17.520
Wasn't great for her.

438
00:13:17.520 --> 00:13:18.360
No.

439
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:19.680
But it was great.

440
00:13:19.680 --> 00:13:20.520
It was great.

441
00:13:20.520 --> 00:13:23.760
I was gonna say, but it's not even quotable.

442
00:13:23.760 --> 00:13:25.200
I don't know how I was gonna say dream girl.

443
00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:28.680
I, I, I, turn the wings around.

444
00:13:28.680 --> 00:13:29.520
I love you.

445
00:13:29.520 --> 00:13:30.360
Come with me.

446
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:31.520
I'll quote the whole movie right now.

447
00:13:31.520 --> 00:13:33.560
And I was going to say that, Eddie Murray.

448
00:13:33.560 --> 00:13:34.560
There you are, Eddie.

449
00:13:34.560 --> 00:13:36.520
Like, it's still not the most quotable,

450
00:13:36.520 --> 00:13:37.720
but one that I quote a lot.

451
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:39.080
You and it with them, CC.

452
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:40.320
Listen, I could go all day.

453
00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:44.360
A song that's underrated in that is fake your way to the top.

454
00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:46.760
I love that song, and no one ever talks about it.

455
00:13:46.760 --> 00:13:48.120
And I just, I love it.

456
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:48.960
I would say it too.

457
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:49.800
You should have won a noscow for that.

458
00:13:49.800 --> 00:13:52.240
I just listened to it sometimes just in the morning

459
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:55.080
to wake me up, or like, it's just a good song.

460
00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:57.120
Princess Tiana, Princess in the frost.

461
00:13:57.120 --> 00:13:58.600
You could have dropped that right on it.

462
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:00.880
To fake your way to the top.

463
00:14:00.880 --> 00:14:02.080
Round it around.

464
00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:03.200
Round, try that, honey.

465
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:04.440
Try that, honey.

466
00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:06.360
Round it around.

467
00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:07.360
I don't know if it.

468
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:08.720
Round it around.

469
00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:10.320
I knew you'd have it.

470
00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:14.320
OK.

471
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:17.680
What's the best video game of all time?

472
00:14:17.680 --> 00:14:19.080
Oh, man.

473
00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:20.840
I mean, it's probably going to be the one.

474
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:22.280
I think you're probably going to have the same.

475
00:14:22.280 --> 00:14:24.320
I think you're going to say the thing that, like,

476
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:28.480
I'm going to say the, like, the most iconic characters

477
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:32.840
know what I'm not going to say that.

478
00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:34.720
But I know why you would, and I agree

479
00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:37.000
that that should be the best one of all time.

480
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:38.960
But the things that have been done recently

481
00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:42.440
with this other game were, like, pretty crazy to me personally.

482
00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:43.560
No, I'm scared as hell.

483
00:14:43.560 --> 00:14:44.520
OK.

484
00:14:44.520 --> 00:14:45.320
Ready?

485
00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:46.200
Yes.

486
00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:46.720
OK.

487
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:51.840
And Mario Brothers, just like in general.

488
00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:52.520
Yes.

489
00:14:52.520 --> 00:14:54.440
These characters are two K.

490
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:58.400
So what have you seen the things they do?

491
00:14:58.400 --> 00:14:59.280
It's crazy.

492
00:14:59.280 --> 00:15:00.320
You can just be.

493
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:01.080
It's uncomfortable.

494
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:02.480
You can have an agent.

495
00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:04.480
You can get suspended.

496
00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:08.320
You can be reprimanded by your coach represented

497
00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:09.280
by car company.

498
00:15:09.280 --> 00:15:10.520
It's insane.

499
00:15:10.520 --> 00:15:12.880
Yeah, you can lose Instagram followers.

500
00:15:12.880 --> 00:15:14.760
I was like, what the fuck is this game?

501
00:15:14.760 --> 00:15:15.760
It's insane.

502
00:15:15.760 --> 00:15:16.960
It's like The Sims.

503
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:17.960
It's crazy.

504
00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:18.920
But for basketball.

505
00:15:18.920 --> 00:15:20.240
And we're not talking about it.

506
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:22.080
And like, the graphics are one thing.

507
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:23.720
And everyone says it's trash.

508
00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:27.000
But you are living a whole second life in that game

509
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:28.840
as an NBA All-Star.

510
00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:30.360
People are tweeting about you.

511
00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:30.880
Yes.

512
00:15:30.880 --> 00:15:32.160
People are calling you trash.

513
00:15:32.160 --> 00:15:33.000
Yes.

514
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:35.200
And then the fact that you can, I don't know,

515
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:37.240
I think it's crazy that you can just play

516
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:40.800
with, like, you know, Prime Charles Barkley.

517
00:15:40.800 --> 00:15:44.160
And like, and Michael Jordan.

518
00:15:44.160 --> 00:15:45.160
I think that's crazy.

519
00:15:45.160 --> 00:15:48.160
I think you can be, like, if you can be Alan Iverson

520
00:15:48.160 --> 00:15:50.360
and then play, like, Wilk Chamberlain.

521
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:51.960
I think this stuff is crazy.

522
00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:52.240
It's one.

523
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:57.520
It's the best example of stats and technology

524
00:15:57.520 --> 00:15:58.760
all coming together.

525
00:15:58.760 --> 00:16:00.520
I just think it's a masterpiece.

526
00:16:00.520 --> 00:16:03.120
And then Mario Kart is just the game of life.

527
00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:04.400
And it gets better.

528
00:16:04.400 --> 00:16:05.240
It gets better.

529
00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:06.240
And better and better.

530
00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:07.520
There's something about here and there.

531
00:16:07.520 --> 00:16:08.680
Whoopie.

532
00:16:08.680 --> 00:16:09.680
Oh.

533
00:16:09.680 --> 00:16:11.320
Are you in a new Super Mario Brothers?

534
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:12.400
I'm going to say it, right?

535
00:16:12.400 --> 00:16:15.000
Mario Kart, I've talked about this before.

536
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:17.600
But it is how life works.

537
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:20.880
If you're in first place, you got to say in first place.

538
00:16:20.880 --> 00:16:22.600
And you got to watch out for that blue shell.

539
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:24.840
Somebody hating from the back is going to throw a blue shell.

540
00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:26.560
And they're going to take out whoever they want in between.

541
00:16:26.560 --> 00:16:27.320
Whoever they can.

542
00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:28.320
Whoever they can, really.

543
00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:29.320
It's not even whoever they want.

544
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:30.640
It's just probably all you can get it.

545
00:16:30.640 --> 00:16:31.720
Everybody can get it.

546
00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:32.400
And you got to be up there.

547
00:16:32.400 --> 00:16:34.520
You got to be prepared with your little sonic boom drink

548
00:16:34.520 --> 00:16:36.440
to, like, you know, get that up.

549
00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:37.360
So you got to stay work.

550
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:40.280
You got to stay in your tracks at all times

551
00:16:40.280 --> 00:16:41.160
to stay in first place.

552
00:16:41.160 --> 00:16:43.920
If you're in the middle, man, you're just fucked, you know.

553
00:16:43.920 --> 00:16:45.760
And it's a really good representation

554
00:16:45.760 --> 00:16:48.320
of being in the middle class in America right now.

555
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:51.840
So you can really spiral anywhere from second and third

556
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:53.160
to, you know, seven to a half.

557
00:16:53.160 --> 00:16:54.040
And will anyone know?

558
00:16:54.040 --> 00:16:55.040
But that's the game of life.

559
00:16:55.040 --> 00:16:55.880
You play Mario Kart.

560
00:16:55.880 --> 00:16:57.720
Well, you can do life well.

561
00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:01.520
Who in the avid cast is the most likely to keep the night going?

562
00:17:01.520 --> 00:17:02.800
To keep the night going?

563
00:17:02.800 --> 00:17:03.960
Yes.

564
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:08.880
It depends on the night, but I think, uh, okay.

565
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:09.760
So I hear the thing.

566
00:17:09.760 --> 00:17:13.240
I was going to say Chris, but I'm glad that he was like,

567
00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:14.120
my feet hurt.

568
00:17:14.120 --> 00:17:15.120
I said, your feet hurt.

569
00:17:15.120 --> 00:17:16.640
That was a rare occurrence.

570
00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:17.920
Chris is normally the one.

571
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:19.200
So it's really me and Chris.

572
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:19.960
We can hang.

573
00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:21.400
We can hang really.

574
00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:23.120
Janelle will go to sleep early.

575
00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:25.440
Tyler doesn't leave the house.

576
00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:29.560
Me and Janelle, me and Janelle were up all that was a rare car.

577
00:17:29.560 --> 00:17:31.880
See, you had the opposite experiences.

578
00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:33.040
See, they threw me off.

579
00:17:33.040 --> 00:17:33.880
They threw you off.

580
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:35.560
No, Chris is my party boy.

581
00:17:35.560 --> 00:17:38.720
Like when we're in New York, he's the person I can be up

582
00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:42.120
to like five or six with just going to various parties.

583
00:17:42.120 --> 00:17:42.640
Right.

584
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:44.840
I can count on him any day of the week to be like,

585
00:17:44.840 --> 00:17:46.120
Chris, we're going to this.

586
00:17:46.120 --> 00:17:47.360
He will pull up.

587
00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:48.480
Chris.

588
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:49.320
Yeah, he's the one.

589
00:17:49.320 --> 00:17:50.640
Now my feelings are hurt.

590
00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:51.640
Yeah, he was tired.

591
00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:52.640
He was tired.

592
00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:53.640
We were tired.

593
00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:54.640
What's he saying?

594
00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:55.960
Why are you so tired?

595
00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:59.440
Look, we had just wrapped with 22 episodes of TV.

596
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:00.280
Baby.

597
00:18:00.280 --> 00:18:02.920
You really get a unique special version of tired,

598
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:06.800
especially after we wrap because it hits us hard.

599
00:18:06.800 --> 00:18:07.640
Right.

600
00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:09.320
Right after we wrap, there's usually things

601
00:18:09.320 --> 00:18:10.760
like a war season going on.

602
00:18:10.760 --> 00:18:14.160
So we don't really get to rest until like I would say

603
00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:17.520
this is my first week of real rest.

604
00:18:17.520 --> 00:18:20.680
And that's like almost three weeks after we've wrapped.

605
00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:21.520
Whoa.

606
00:18:21.520 --> 00:18:22.040
Yeah.

607
00:18:22.040 --> 00:18:23.520
And that's another thing with those shows in the past.

608
00:18:23.520 --> 00:18:27.440
They were all just doing that, you know, like a lot.

609
00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:29.480
And I don't know.

610
00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:31.400
I don't think they were on cocaine.

611
00:18:31.400 --> 00:18:32.600
That's a bad test.

612
00:18:32.600 --> 00:18:33.600
How are you doing?

613
00:18:33.600 --> 00:18:34.120
I know.

614
00:18:34.120 --> 00:18:35.120
So how are you making it feel?

615
00:18:35.120 --> 00:18:37.680
Sometimes in the writers room, like I get why people were

616
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:39.480
on cocaine, like I get it.

617
00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:41.800
This is the moment where the coke comes in handy.

618
00:18:41.800 --> 00:18:43.760
It's where it would have, but we know better.

619
00:18:43.760 --> 00:18:46.720
So we don't do that, but I get, you know, it's tiring.

620
00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:47.880
We're fortunate for the grind.

621
00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:51.240
We love the fact that you're able to do something

622
00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:53.960
and create a show that some people resonate with,

623
00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:54.880
but it's a lot of work.

624
00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:55.720
It is.

625
00:18:55.720 --> 00:18:56.960
Janelle was telling me, she was saying that she was like,

626
00:18:56.960 --> 00:18:58.760
I thank God it's Quinta.

627
00:18:58.760 --> 00:19:01.000
Thank God it's her.

628
00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:02.240
She said, couldn't be me.

629
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:03.600
It's not that much work.

630
00:19:03.600 --> 00:19:05.000
She has expressed that off.

631
00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:10.120
But I'm happy that I can be me so that she can be her

632
00:19:10.120 --> 00:19:13.840
and everybody can have, I don't know, do what they do best.

633
00:19:13.840 --> 00:19:18.240
And now season six renewal, what does that feel like for you?

634
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:19.320
Is that like yes?

635
00:19:19.320 --> 00:19:20.560
Yeah, fantastic.

636
00:19:20.560 --> 00:19:23.880
It's just, I don't know, it's like a testament to the work

637
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:25.720
that we've been doing.

638
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:29.520
I just hope that we can continue to make something good.

639
00:19:29.520 --> 00:19:30.680
That's the goal.

640
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:32.280
If anything, it ramps up.

641
00:19:32.280 --> 00:19:34.520
You want to continue to make good TV

642
00:19:34.520 --> 00:19:36.400
and not let it fall off.

643
00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:38.440
So that's where my head is now.

644
00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:40.560
Like I got to make it the best season yet.

645
00:19:40.560 --> 00:19:45.400
How do you feel about being responsible for every party

646
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:50.080
that Janelle James walks into and back that ass up plays?

647
00:19:50.080 --> 00:19:53.280
She is the one that people look like what you're going to do.

648
00:19:53.280 --> 00:19:54.280
No.

649
00:19:54.280 --> 00:19:55.720
For like the rest of her life.

650
00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:58.040
She's like, I don't even have that much ass.

651
00:19:58.040 --> 00:20:03.080
I'm so proud of myself and so bad for her and sex.

652
00:20:03.080 --> 00:20:04.640
She walks into the party and people are like,

653
00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:06.240
oh, we know what you're wanting here.

654
00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:08.880
No, and I'm so bad because that, you know,

655
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:11.240
that's a character trait of Ava.

656
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:12.240
Right.

657
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:13.240
But that's a good song, though.

658
00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:14.240
It's a great song.

659
00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:15.240
I said, girl, you better get it.

660
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:16.240
I know.

661
00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:17.240
You got to get it.

662
00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:18.960
She probably was going to run into Florida dance anyway.

663
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:19.800
Come on.

664
00:20:19.800 --> 00:20:20.960
What would be your theme song?

665
00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:22.200
What would be like, if you wanted to a party,

666
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:23.560
what song would you want to hear?

667
00:20:23.560 --> 00:20:24.600
I have two songs.

668
00:20:24.600 --> 00:20:25.200
OK.

669
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:28.080
The first one is, drop it like it's hot by Snoop Dogg.

670
00:20:28.080 --> 00:20:28.680
Come on.

671
00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:30.160
My favorite karaoke song.

672
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:31.360
Drop it like it's hot for karaoke?

673
00:20:31.360 --> 00:20:32.160
It is.

674
00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:33.000
No, that's right.

675
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:34.560
Yep, people underestimate it.

676
00:20:34.560 --> 00:20:36.680
It's a good time and everyone has a really good time.

677
00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:37.640
Crawl participation.

678
00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:38.160
Yes.

679
00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:39.120
That's what I'm really about.

680
00:20:39.120 --> 00:20:42.040
I want everybody else to have a good time when I do karaoke.

681
00:20:42.040 --> 00:20:42.720
OK.

682
00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:44.960
And then my other one would be, do you remember

683
00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:47.040
the classical, seminal hit?

684
00:20:47.040 --> 00:20:48.400
She got a dog?

685
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:49.720
She got a dog.

686
00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:50.800
She got a dog.

687
00:20:50.800 --> 00:20:51.640
She got a dog.

688
00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:52.320
She got a dog.

689
00:20:52.320 --> 00:20:53.040
She got a dog.

690
00:20:53.040 --> 00:20:58.560
So when I was in college, that was my, that was my, really?

691
00:20:58.560 --> 00:21:01.680
As in, when it came on, similar to the back that has up,

692
00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:04.840
when it came on, the entire, the entire college actually

693
00:21:04.840 --> 00:21:09.440
would just turn and go, and I would dance.

694
00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:10.440
It is.

695
00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:13.160
What's funny is no matter where you are,

696
00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:14.840
it's the same dance for everybody.

697
00:21:14.840 --> 00:21:17.920
It's the same like, yeah, like just about something.

698
00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:18.440
Just about.

699
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:20.160
And what's interesting is when that song came out,

700
00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:21.600
I actually didn't have a dog.

701
00:21:21.600 --> 00:21:24.680
I didn't have, and then I kind of got one later.

702
00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:27.200
And I was like, this is a great accessory to this song.

703
00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:28.360
He looked finally.

704
00:21:28.360 --> 00:21:29.720
Finally, I get my face.

705
00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:31.640
So in this, you've been so in this scene.

706
00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:32.960
And now I could participate in the movie.

707
00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:34.960
I could participate in the movie, yes, yes.

708
00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:36.200
Oh, this is a good one.

709
00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:37.760
I'm so interested in your answer.

710
00:21:37.760 --> 00:21:40.120
What should you never do in someone's house?

711
00:21:40.120 --> 00:21:40.960
Oh.

712
00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:47.160
You could smoke in my house before you could do this.

713
00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:48.000
Oh, sorry.

714
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:49.360
I'm gonna change my answer.

715
00:21:49.360 --> 00:21:51.680
Ah, what?

716
00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:53.880
The first thing I wrote, people can't help.

717
00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:56.920
They, they can't help that, but you can help this.

718
00:21:56.920 --> 00:21:58.280
What do you mean they can't help it?

719
00:21:58.280 --> 00:21:59.120
Something might happen.

720
00:21:59.120 --> 00:22:00.840
Maybe they ate a burrito before.

721
00:22:00.840 --> 00:22:03.680
But I do tell you.

722
00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:04.520
I guess.

723
00:22:04.520 --> 00:22:05.360
I feel, whatever.

724
00:22:05.360 --> 00:22:06.200
Yeah.

725
00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:07.040
You know.

726
00:22:07.040 --> 00:22:07.880
But wait till you get home.

727
00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:08.720
Yeah.

728
00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:09.560
Okay.

729
00:22:09.560 --> 00:22:10.400
Was that what's one year?

730
00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:11.240
No.

731
00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:12.080
No.

732
00:22:12.080 --> 00:22:12.920
Okay.

733
00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:13.920
Two, three.

734
00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:14.920
Ah.

735
00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:15.920
Sorry.

736
00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:16.920
Sorry.

737
00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:17.920
Sorry.

738
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:18.920
Sorry.

739
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:19.920
But it's true.

740
00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:20.920
Yes.

741
00:22:20.920 --> 00:22:21.920
Don't put your shoes on.

742
00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:22.920
Don't do that.

743
00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:23.920
Don't do that.

744
00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:24.920
Don't do that.

745
00:22:24.920 --> 00:22:25.920
That's crazy to do.

746
00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:26.920
Crazy to do.

747
00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:27.920
Your shoes have been all outside.

748
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:31.360
The thing that is so crazy, it's just like, wow, man, you live a different life to

749
00:22:31.360 --> 00:22:32.360
me.

750
00:22:32.360 --> 00:22:33.360
I don't want to raise you.

751
00:22:33.360 --> 00:22:34.360
You live a whole different life.

752
00:22:34.360 --> 00:22:37.400
Because if this is what you do, and I'm looking at you, imagine what you've done and

753
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:38.400
I haven't seen you.

754
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:40.400
To me, it's not even the audacity.

755
00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:43.640
It's just like, whoa, man, I don't think you and I vibe at all.

756
00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:47.960
You really have got to leave my house because I'm not sure we're on the same page of protecting

757
00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:48.960
each other.

758
00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:54.440
The same page of like maintaining a good, you know, family unit, a good, I don't know.

759
00:22:54.440 --> 00:22:55.640
I don't know about your life choices.

760
00:22:55.640 --> 00:22:56.640
I don't know about your life choices.

761
00:22:56.640 --> 00:23:00.240
And for that reason, I think you should be friends, you know, you should leave.

762
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:01.560
I think you should leave right now.

763
00:23:01.560 --> 00:23:03.360
And I've already called the police.

764
00:23:03.360 --> 00:23:08.520
Okay, so neighbors, I've been thinking a lot lately about where I spend my money, right?

765
00:23:08.520 --> 00:23:11.240
Like, who am I actually putting my dollars behind?

766
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:14.240
Because that feels as important as ever right now.

767
00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:17.640
So I want to introduce to you all, Basque and Lather.

768
00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:20.080
It's a black-owned family-operated brand.

769
00:23:20.080 --> 00:23:24.280
Their CEO, Shayna's younger sister, lost all of her hair to a skin condition that was

770
00:23:24.280 --> 00:23:25.280
misdiagnosed.

771
00:23:25.280 --> 00:23:31.240
And a dermatologist actually told her it might not ever grow back, or her family said, not

772
00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:34.200
on our watch and got to work on their very own products.

773
00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:37.000
And today, that sister's hair grows down to her hips.

774
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:38.640
I know, that's right.

775
00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:42.920
Now listen, I've been using the beard magic and the hydrating hair mist along with the beard

776
00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:43.920
oil.

777
00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:49.800
And I feel like if my hair could say, thank you, it would, because I'm talking, it's soft,

778
00:23:49.800 --> 00:23:54.240
it's got an incredible shine, and it's a routine I actually look forward to every day.

779
00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:57.520
So I'm just now getting started, and I want you all to come on this journey along with

780
00:23:57.520 --> 00:23:58.520
me.

781
00:23:58.520 --> 00:24:03.720
So explore the viral best sellers and products for healthier hair of all types from Basque

782
00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:04.720

That's 20% off at BasqueandLatherCO.com code houseguest.

786
00:24:16.440 --> 00:24:18.480
Okay.

787
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:20.920
So this is an easy vinaigrette.

788
00:24:20.920 --> 00:24:21.920
Okay.

789
00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:23.440
So you got your Dejan mustard.

790
00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:26.120
Come on Dejan.

791
00:24:26.120 --> 00:24:29.160
Then we've got our garlic.

792
00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:31.080
To me, you can't do shit without garlic.

793
00:24:31.080 --> 00:24:32.080
Okay.

794
00:24:32.080 --> 00:24:38.600
So like when it comes to the, the rush more of seasonings at your house, it would be, and

795
00:24:38.600 --> 00:24:42.040
is it season salt or seasoning salt?

796
00:24:42.040 --> 00:24:43.280
I just say seasoning season.

797
00:24:43.280 --> 00:24:44.280
Oh, I don't know.

798
00:24:44.280 --> 00:24:45.280
I don't know.

799
00:24:45.280 --> 00:24:46.280
I don't know.

800
00:24:46.280 --> 00:24:47.280
I'm going to be honest with you.

801
00:24:47.280 --> 00:24:48.280
They're neither.

802
00:24:48.280 --> 00:24:49.280
It's season salt.

803
00:24:49.280 --> 00:24:50.280
Season salt.

804
00:24:50.280 --> 00:24:51.280
I don't know what I say.

805
00:24:51.840 --> 00:24:52.840
Okay.

806
00:24:52.840 --> 00:24:55.040
So mine are garlic salt.

807
00:24:55.040 --> 00:24:56.040
Okay.

808
00:24:56.040 --> 00:24:57.040
Garlic powder.

809
00:24:57.040 --> 00:24:58.040
Yes.

810
00:24:58.040 --> 00:24:59.040
Louries.

811
00:24:59.040 --> 00:25:00.040
But it doesn't go on anything.

812
00:25:00.040 --> 00:25:01.040
It's just an essential in the house.

813
00:25:01.040 --> 00:25:02.120
I can't not have it in the house.

814
00:25:02.120 --> 00:25:03.120
Yes.

815
00:25:03.120 --> 00:25:11.440
And then a little no one won't, not to the Mexican community, but a double, a double really

816
00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:18.400
goes hard and a lot of people don't really know about her, but she's to the beat elevated.

817
00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:19.920
It's a good color for the food.

818
00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:20.920
Yes.

819
00:25:20.920 --> 00:25:21.920
Yes.

820
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:22.920
Because then we've got olive oil.

821
00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:23.920
Yeah.

822
00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:24.920
Now this is addressing olive oil.

823
00:25:24.920 --> 00:25:29.000
You don't want to use olive oil for cooking, because it's got a bit more bitter taste.

824
00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:32.000
So if I were to buy that at the grocery store, what am I looking for this time?

825
00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:35.640
You're looking for a drizzle olive oil or a dressing olive oil.

826
00:25:35.640 --> 00:25:36.640
Okay, great.

827
00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:40.760
And then we've got some maple syrup for the sweet.

828
00:25:40.760 --> 00:25:45.240
And then we've got champagne vinegar.

829
00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:49.440
And then you salt and pepper to your liking.

830
00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:50.840
I like it for it to be bright.

831
00:25:50.840 --> 00:25:51.840
Mm-hmm.

832
00:25:51.840 --> 00:25:52.840
You've just inspired me.

833
00:25:52.840 --> 00:25:53.840
You know?

834
00:25:53.840 --> 00:25:54.840
I'm going to make my own dressing for you.

835
00:25:54.840 --> 00:25:55.840
It's very easy.

836
00:25:55.840 --> 00:25:56.840
It's very easy.

837
00:25:56.840 --> 00:25:59.200
And then people, you know, you can add anchovy paste.

838
00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:01.080
You can do all kind of stuff to jish it up.

839
00:26:01.080 --> 00:26:02.080
Yeah.

840
00:26:02.080 --> 00:26:03.080
But like, look at that color.

841
00:26:03.080 --> 00:26:04.080
That's beautiful.

842
00:26:04.080 --> 00:26:05.080
Do you like anchovies?

843
00:26:05.080 --> 00:26:06.080
Not the stop of the shake.

844
00:26:06.080 --> 00:26:07.080
Is it?

845
00:26:07.080 --> 00:26:08.080
No.

846
00:26:08.080 --> 00:26:09.080
Okay.

847
00:26:09.080 --> 00:26:10.080
I know.

848
00:26:10.080 --> 00:26:11.080
You don't want to up in the anchovies.

849
00:26:11.120 --> 00:26:12.120
Okay.

850
00:26:12.120 --> 00:26:13.120
I know.

851
00:26:13.120 --> 00:26:14.640
You don't want to up in the anchovies.

852
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:15.640
Umami flavor.

853
00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:16.640
I get it.

854
00:26:16.640 --> 00:26:17.640
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

855
00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:18.640
But like blend that all the way up.

856
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:19.640
Okay.

857
00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:20.640
I don't want to know.

858
00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:21.640
It was efficient.

859
00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:22.640
It was efficient.

860
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:23.640
Got it.

861
00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:24.640
Let's see where we are.

862
00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:25.640
Thank you.

863
00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:26.640
I would thank you.

864
00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:27.640
A lettuce.

865
00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:29.640
Is this from your garden?

866
00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:30.640
Yes.

867
00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:32.640
It's really, I'm not kidding.

868
00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:33.640
Your house is fantastic.

869
00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:34.640
Yeah.

870
00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:35.640
Yeah.

871
00:26:35.640 --> 00:26:36.640
We had a garden.

872
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:37.640
You really are doing it right.

873
00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:38.640
Thank you.

874
00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:39.640
Let's see.

875
00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:41.640
Mm.

876
00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:45.640
I've been a good both of them.

877
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:46.640
I've been a good.

878
00:26:46.640 --> 00:26:47.640
That's great.

879
00:26:47.640 --> 00:26:48.640
I'm making this one.

880
00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:49.640
I get home.

881
00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:50.640
It's good, right?

882
00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:51.640
Yeah.

883
00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:52.640
This is really good.

884
00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:53.640
And I feel like this is the stuff.

885
00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:54.640
Maybe selling for like $20.

886
00:26:54.640 --> 00:26:55.640
$20.

887
00:26:55.640 --> 00:26:56.640
Yeah.

888
00:26:56.640 --> 00:26:57.640
And it lasts you seven days.

889
00:26:57.640 --> 00:26:58.640
Right.

890
00:26:58.640 --> 00:26:59.640
Exactly.

891
00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:00.640
You get it at home and it's already bad.

892
00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:01.640
Yeah.

893
00:27:01.640 --> 00:27:02.640
I'm going to make that up.

894
00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:03.640
You ready to make these salads?

895
00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:04.640
I'm ready.

896
00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:05.640
Let's do it.

897
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:14.640
I'm so glad to have you.

898
00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:16.640
I'm glad to be here.

899
00:27:16.640 --> 00:27:17.640
This is the first show.

900
00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:21.640
I'm coming on just because I wanted to see how you do your thing because you're so good

901
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:22.640
at it.

902
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:23.640
Get out of here.

903
00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:24.640
I'm so serious.

904
00:27:24.640 --> 00:27:28.640
When you launch a show like this, you make a list of people that you want to have on.

905
00:27:28.640 --> 00:27:29.640
Yeah.

906
00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:32.640
People that you want to love on, but people that you also, you would, would feel like just

907
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:33.640
get it.

908
00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:34.640
Yeah.

909
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:35.640
I don't know if you remember this.

910
00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:40.440
And months after we launched, I saw you at a peacock event.

911
00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:44.440
And I was like, I'm working on this show and you were like, I know.

912
00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:46.040
I would love for you to come be a part.

913
00:27:46.040 --> 00:27:49.140
And you, you stopped me and you were like, I love everything you're doing.

914
00:27:49.140 --> 00:27:50.140
I love it.

915
00:27:50.140 --> 00:27:51.640
I have to be really careful.

916
00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:54.440
I don't want you to take this the wrong way.

917
00:27:54.440 --> 00:27:56.640
But like where we are right now, we have it.

918
00:27:56.640 --> 00:27:57.640
Yeah.

919
00:27:57.640 --> 00:27:58.640
I have to be really protected.

920
00:27:58.640 --> 00:27:59.640
Well, that sounds like me.

921
00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:00.640
I did.

922
00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:01.640
I know I said those things.

923
00:28:01.640 --> 00:28:02.640
I don't remember.

924
00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:03.640
Yeah.

925
00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:04.640
You're protected.

926
00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:06.640
It's not just me.

927
00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:12.840
And so when I go sit down somewhere, when I spend that time and I'm candid, my candor

928
00:28:12.840 --> 00:28:14.640
can be taken for something totally different.

929
00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:15.640
Totally.

930
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:16.640
And I agree with past me.

931
00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:17.640
Yeah.

932
00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:18.640
Yes.

933
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:19.640
And I was like, damn.

934
00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:21.640
I mean, you can't argue with that at all.

935
00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:27.240
And so to know that you're like, to see the trust that has been generated what we're

936
00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:28.240
doing here.

937
00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:30.240
I value that a lot.

938
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:31.240
Yeah.

939
00:28:31.240 --> 00:28:33.240
It was great watching it build and everything.

940
00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:37.240
And you just seem like you really care about the guests you have.

941
00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:38.240
And that's really nice to see.

942
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:39.240
Yeah.

943
00:28:39.240 --> 00:28:40.240
You know.

944
00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:46.040
In a world of kind of like, got your journalism and wanting the best, clippable moment.

945
00:28:46.040 --> 00:28:51.240
It's nice to see people take the time to really care about what their guests have to say.

946
00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:52.240
The human.

947
00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:53.240
Yeah, the human.

948
00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:57.520
When I see people love on you and what you're doing in particular right now with Abbott,

949
00:28:57.520 --> 00:29:01.040
maybe this is coming from multiple seasons in.

950
00:29:01.040 --> 00:29:03.240
You seem to be enjoying it more.

951
00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:07.720
You know, I feel more here, like more, more present.

952
00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:16.320
I think, unlike many people, my introduction to the world of Hollywood was on the first,

953
00:29:16.320 --> 00:29:18.080
you know, success, I guess.

954
00:29:18.080 --> 00:29:21.920
And so I hadn't had the experience of going to award shows before.

955
00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:26.080
I hadn't had the experience of, you know, being in a lot of these rooms before it to even

956
00:29:26.080 --> 00:29:27.080
go.

957
00:29:27.080 --> 00:29:28.080
And I want to be there.

958
00:29:28.080 --> 00:29:33.080
It's just like the show took off and we were in those places immediately.

959
00:29:33.080 --> 00:29:34.080
Yes.

960
00:29:34.080 --> 00:29:35.080
Yeah.

961
00:29:35.080 --> 00:29:40.320
The first, I would say four seasons was experiencing and then catching up.

962
00:29:40.320 --> 00:29:47.760
And then I would say that now I'm able to feel comfortable with where I am.

963
00:29:47.760 --> 00:29:48.760
Like I feel here.

964
00:29:48.760 --> 00:29:49.760
I feel more present.

965
00:29:49.760 --> 00:29:54.600
I talked to people all the time about your path between you and your dream is never a

966
00:29:54.600 --> 00:29:55.600
straight line.

967
00:29:55.600 --> 00:29:56.600
No.

968
00:29:56.600 --> 00:29:57.600
I have an example of that.

969
00:29:57.600 --> 00:29:58.600
Yeah.

970
00:29:58.600 --> 00:30:03.400
Have you had moments to be able to look back at and be like, damn, a really affirming moment

971
00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:08.960
this year was, you know, I want a credit choice award and like while that has nothing to do

972
00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:15.880
with me, I'm happy to see my cast and crew be celebrated.

973
00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:21.120
Something about that is very grounding to me.

974
00:30:21.120 --> 00:30:24.120
Sometimes when I'm writing through, because you know, I beat the block in LA for a while

975
00:30:24.120 --> 00:30:29.800
before I abbot, you know, I lived in Hollywood in the trenches of Hollywood.

976
00:30:29.800 --> 00:30:30.800
Yeah.

977
00:30:30.800 --> 00:30:31.800
Three separate times.

978
00:30:31.800 --> 00:30:33.560
I lived in Korea town twice.

979
00:30:33.560 --> 00:30:38.240
I lived in Noho in like the not nice part of studios city.

980
00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:39.240
Hello.

981
00:30:39.240 --> 00:30:40.240
We were as one.

982
00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:41.240
There is one.

983
00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:45.160
My friend Kate and I where she's a writer on my show and an actress on the show Kate and

984
00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:48.840
I shared a bedroom in a two bedroom.

985
00:30:48.840 --> 00:30:57.240
We were two grown ass women sharing a bedroom and looking truly in the couch for quarters.

986
00:30:57.240 --> 00:31:00.520
So we could buy food that day.

987
00:31:00.520 --> 00:31:02.120
We have been down bed.

988
00:31:02.120 --> 00:31:08.520
So sometimes when I ride past those places, it hits me how far I've come and that I'm really

989
00:31:08.520 --> 00:31:10.600
happy that I didn't give up.

990
00:31:10.600 --> 00:31:12.120
But it was never in my spirit to give up.

991
00:31:12.120 --> 00:31:14.120
You know, like me Kate at that time giving up was not.

992
00:31:14.120 --> 00:31:17.560
No, it was like, we'll just bunk together and we'll bed together in this room.

993
00:31:17.560 --> 00:31:18.560
Right.

994
00:31:18.560 --> 00:31:19.560
You want to figure it out?

995
00:31:19.560 --> 00:31:20.560
Yeah.

996
00:31:20.560 --> 00:31:21.560
Do you ever have that?

997
00:31:21.560 --> 00:31:22.560
I don't know if you have it.

998
00:31:22.560 --> 00:31:23.560
It wasn't even able to figure it out thing.

999
00:31:23.560 --> 00:31:24.560
It's like, yeah, man, this is it.

1000
00:31:24.560 --> 00:31:25.560
This is the next step.

1001
00:31:25.560 --> 00:31:26.560
These are the trenches.

1002
00:31:26.560 --> 00:31:30.440
And if you're kind of complaining about them, then I'm not sure you really, you know, you

1003
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:35.000
get being in the trenches, you just kind of just in it and you make the trenches look

1004
00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:36.000
cute.

1005
00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:37.000
You hang up.

1006
00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:38.000
Maybe the trenches look cute.

1007
00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:41.840
You know, you have some string lights on it.

1008
00:31:41.840 --> 00:31:43.440
A string light makes any room.

1009
00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:44.960
Let me tell you something.

1010
00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:47.400
These huge light bulbs that have been out.

1011
00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:48.400
We was in the trenches.

1012
00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:49.400
I remember when those came out too.

1013
00:31:49.400 --> 00:31:51.400
And I was like, wow, the trenches have evolved.

1014
00:31:51.400 --> 00:31:52.400
They evolved.

1015
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:53.400
Wow, man.

1016
00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:54.400
We got mood lights.

1017
00:31:54.400 --> 00:31:55.400
I know.

1018
00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:56.400
Because I just had a, I had a bowl.

1019
00:31:56.400 --> 00:31:57.640
I used to put over a lamp.

1020
00:31:57.640 --> 00:31:58.640
Mm-hmm.

1021
00:31:58.640 --> 00:31:59.640
And that was my mood light.

1022
00:31:59.640 --> 00:32:00.640
Starlight.

1023
00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:01.640
And look at you now.

1024
00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:02.640
Look at me now.

1025
00:32:02.640 --> 00:32:03.640
No, seriously.

1026
00:32:03.640 --> 00:32:04.640
Got a pool with an olive tree.

1027
00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:05.640
You had an olive tree?

1028
00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:06.640
Look at this.

1029
00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:07.640
Wow.

1030
00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:08.640
I didn't know.

1031
00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:09.640
Wow.

1032
00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:13.340
And you know, I was looking at the pictures I was going to talk about this, but the

1033
00:32:13.340 --> 00:32:16.740
pictures your family and your house and, you know, I don't know, something about that.

1034
00:32:16.740 --> 00:32:18.700
I know it's not my journey, but I love that.

1035
00:32:18.700 --> 00:32:22.100
I love seeing people you care about.

1036
00:32:22.100 --> 00:32:23.300
Yeah, and that are rooting for you.

1037
00:32:23.300 --> 00:32:24.300
That are rooting for you, yeah.

1038
00:32:24.300 --> 00:32:27.300
And that even when my mom didn't necessarily get it, she got it.

1039
00:32:27.300 --> 00:32:28.300
Right?

1040
00:32:28.300 --> 00:32:29.300
Because I got that school.

1041
00:32:29.300 --> 00:32:31.300
And I was like, yeah, I'm moving to L.A.

1042
00:32:31.300 --> 00:32:32.300
I kind of did the same.

1043
00:32:32.300 --> 00:32:33.780
Yeah, we gonna need more information.

1044
00:32:33.780 --> 00:32:34.780
Yep.

1045
00:32:34.780 --> 00:32:39.940
And she was like, we not just leaving school with full-ride scholarships, talking about

1046
00:32:39.940 --> 00:32:41.620
we just leaving school to go to L.A.

1047
00:32:41.620 --> 00:32:43.860
My mom was not having it until, what are you doing?

1048
00:32:43.860 --> 00:32:44.860
Until Abbott.

1049
00:32:44.860 --> 00:32:45.860
And you know.

1050
00:32:45.860 --> 00:32:46.860
What?

1051
00:32:46.860 --> 00:32:47.860
She was not having it.

1052
00:32:47.860 --> 00:32:50.260
Because she didn't understand the internet.

1053
00:32:50.260 --> 00:32:52.260
Even with like the BuzzFeed.

1054
00:32:52.260 --> 00:32:53.660
She didn't know what BuzzFeed was.

1055
00:32:53.660 --> 00:32:56.500
She was asking me up until Abbott, and I'm not even kidding.

1056
00:32:56.500 --> 00:32:57.500
What do you do?

1057
00:32:57.500 --> 00:32:58.500
What do you do?

1058
00:32:58.500 --> 00:32:59.500
You are stripping.

1059
00:32:59.500 --> 00:33:00.500
Let me know.

1060
00:33:00.500 --> 00:33:01.500
You are stripping?

1061
00:33:01.500 --> 00:33:02.500
Because she didn't understand.

1062
00:33:02.500 --> 00:33:05.300
She did not understand how I was paying my rent.

1063
00:33:05.300 --> 00:33:07.100
The internet made no sense to her.

1064
00:33:07.100 --> 00:33:08.100
Right.

1065
00:33:08.100 --> 00:33:09.100
She's like, I'm vlogging on the internet.

1066
00:33:09.100 --> 00:33:10.100
Nobody sent me a check.

1067
00:33:10.100 --> 00:33:11.100
Exactly.

1068
00:33:11.100 --> 00:33:12.100
And so that was confusing.

1069
00:33:12.100 --> 00:33:14.700
I didn't let her watch a Black Lady sketch show.

1070
00:33:14.700 --> 00:33:16.180
That didn't exist.

1071
00:33:16.180 --> 00:33:17.180
That didn't exist.

1072
00:33:17.180 --> 00:33:18.180
You know, Christian Woman.

1073
00:33:18.180 --> 00:33:19.180
She doesn't like that.

1074
00:33:19.180 --> 00:33:20.180
You know.

1075
00:33:20.180 --> 00:33:21.900
She'd rather HBO like not exist.

1076
00:33:21.900 --> 00:33:23.900
Like that should not be a channel on television.

1077
00:33:23.900 --> 00:33:24.900
Black Lady Court Room?

1078
00:33:24.900 --> 00:33:25.900
Maybe I should wrote her that one.

1079
00:33:25.900 --> 00:33:26.900
That's a good one.

1080
00:33:26.900 --> 00:33:27.900
I might have should wrote her that one.

1081
00:33:27.900 --> 00:33:28.900
That's a good one.

1082
00:33:28.900 --> 00:33:30.660
You're talking to me about though about that show.

1083
00:33:30.660 --> 00:33:31.660
Totally.

1084
00:33:31.660 --> 00:33:33.140
You were on the show, but you also wrote.

1085
00:33:33.140 --> 00:33:34.140
I didn't.

1086
00:33:34.140 --> 00:33:35.140
I thought you were.

1087
00:33:35.140 --> 00:33:36.140
I thought you were.

1088
00:33:36.140 --> 00:33:37.140
I thought you wrote her.

1089
00:33:37.140 --> 00:33:38.140
You were just cast as like one of those.

1090
00:33:38.140 --> 00:33:39.140
I was just cast as an actor.

1091
00:33:39.180 --> 00:33:40.540
You know, this is a good example.

1092
00:33:40.540 --> 00:33:42.580
People just make up shit all day, y'all.

1093
00:33:42.580 --> 00:33:45.940
We are in an age of just, I saw something about

1094
00:33:45.940 --> 00:33:46.940
me the other day, I was like, yo,

1095
00:33:46.940 --> 00:33:49.300
people are just like making things up.

1096
00:33:49.300 --> 00:33:50.140
What are they saying?

1097
00:33:50.140 --> 00:33:51.140
They're saying what you read.

1098
00:33:51.140 --> 00:33:52.140
I'm having to say it.

1099
00:33:52.140 --> 00:33:53.340
Because it's just crazy.

1100
00:33:53.340 --> 00:33:55.340
Wasn't that you wrote on Black Lady Court?

1101
00:33:55.340 --> 00:33:56.340
No, it was just there.

1102
00:33:56.340 --> 00:33:57.340
I'll be there.

1103
00:33:57.340 --> 00:34:02.500
There was this chart on floating around on Facebook

1104
00:34:02.500 --> 00:34:06.700
that was me and I, it was comparing us.

1105
00:34:06.700 --> 00:34:11.500
And it said that my income was something that it was not.

1106
00:34:11.500 --> 00:34:13.500
It just wasn't.

1107
00:34:13.500 --> 00:34:14.300
It just wasn't.

1108
00:34:14.300 --> 00:34:15.300
I don't know what else to say.

1109
00:34:15.300 --> 00:34:16.300
More or less.

1110
00:34:16.300 --> 00:34:17.780
It said that I was skipping.

1111
00:34:17.780 --> 00:34:21.180
It said, I don't have one kid.

1112
00:34:21.180 --> 00:34:22.700
There's no children.

1113
00:34:22.700 --> 00:34:25.220
And what was crazy is was seeing people arguing about this

1114
00:34:25.220 --> 00:34:27.700
in the comments, just total untruths.

1115
00:34:27.700 --> 00:34:31.100
But back to Black Lady's catch up, I never wrote on it.

1116
00:34:31.100 --> 00:34:32.380
I just was cast as an actress.

1117
00:34:32.380 --> 00:34:34.100
I was really proud of that.

1118
00:34:34.100 --> 00:34:37.540
It was cool for me to be a series regular just for acting.

1119
00:34:37.540 --> 00:34:39.380
Is that something you want to do more of?

1120
00:34:39.380 --> 00:34:40.100
Just act.

1121
00:34:40.100 --> 00:34:40.900
Yeah.

1122
00:34:40.900 --> 00:34:44.660
Give me an idea of what a next kind of role might be.

1123
00:34:44.660 --> 00:34:47.380
If you could, if you could, wave a wand.

1124
00:34:47.380 --> 00:34:50.020
There's some fun stuff out there.

1125
00:34:50.020 --> 00:34:51.700
I'm normally not going to throw things out,

1126
00:34:51.700 --> 00:34:54.540
but I saw there's going to be a new live action

1127
00:34:54.540 --> 00:34:55.580
Jetsons movie.

1128
00:34:55.580 --> 00:34:57.460
I'd love to be in that world.

1129
00:34:57.460 --> 00:35:00.460
Fun stuff that you don't really expect.

1130
00:35:00.460 --> 00:35:01.100
I don't know.

1131
00:35:01.100 --> 00:35:01.620
Yeah.

1132
00:35:01.620 --> 00:35:02.620
Because I'll be honest with you.

1133
00:35:02.620 --> 00:35:06.100
I was necessarily expecting you as in the world,

1134
00:35:06.100 --> 00:35:07.620
the Hormel Monsters.

1135
00:35:07.620 --> 00:35:08.620
Oh, on Big Mouth.

1136
00:35:08.620 --> 00:35:09.620
Big Mouth.

1137
00:35:09.620 --> 00:35:10.620
Yes.

1138
00:35:10.620 --> 00:35:12.700
Does that how you and Seth Rogan got to be connected or?

1139
00:35:12.700 --> 00:35:14.380
Seth, I met at a house party.

1140
00:35:14.380 --> 00:35:14.900
Yes.

1141
00:35:14.900 --> 00:35:15.780
And we just clicked.

1142
00:35:15.780 --> 00:35:16.380
Yes.

1143
00:35:16.380 --> 00:35:18.700
I love that you and Seth are going to house.

1144
00:35:18.700 --> 00:35:20.300
We got invited to the same house party.

1145
00:35:20.300 --> 00:35:21.060
And we just clicked.

1146
00:35:21.060 --> 00:35:22.420
I've been a fan forever.

1147
00:35:22.420 --> 00:35:24.260
He was locked in right away.

1148
00:35:24.260 --> 00:35:25.100
Good people.

1149
00:35:25.100 --> 00:35:25.940
Right.

1150
00:35:25.940 --> 00:35:26.740
He does seem like good people.

1151
00:35:26.740 --> 00:35:27.260
Yeah, he is.

1152
00:35:27.260 --> 00:35:28.300
He's pretty solid.

1153
00:35:28.300 --> 00:35:30.100
I loved just being an actor on that show.

1154
00:35:30.100 --> 00:35:30.980
But you asked the question.

1155
00:35:30.980 --> 00:35:32.460
I'm going to answer about what I learned

1156
00:35:32.460 --> 00:35:33.180
from that show.

1157
00:35:33.180 --> 00:35:36.220
And I have to really give Robin credit here.

1158
00:35:36.220 --> 00:35:40.940
That the environment of a predominantly black crew

1159
00:35:40.940 --> 00:35:42.220
that really stuck with me.

1160
00:35:42.220 --> 00:35:42.900
Is that right?

1161
00:35:42.900 --> 00:35:43.420
Yeah.

1162
00:35:43.420 --> 00:35:45.300
I had never, it wasn't even that.

1163
00:35:45.300 --> 00:35:46.220
I had never seen it before.

1164
00:35:46.220 --> 00:35:48.620
It was normalized for me after that show.

1165
00:35:48.620 --> 00:35:49.420
It was just.

1166
00:35:49.420 --> 00:35:50.620
This is possible.

1167
00:35:50.620 --> 00:35:52.460
Well, similar to what I'm saying before,

1168
00:35:52.460 --> 00:35:55.300
where it never seemed out of reach for me.

1169
00:35:55.300 --> 00:35:56.180
I'd seen it done.

1170
00:35:56.180 --> 00:35:57.740
Therefore, it was never out of reach.

1171
00:35:57.740 --> 00:36:01.300
And so when I was casting the writers or sorry casting,

1172
00:36:01.300 --> 00:36:04.780
when I was hiring for the Abbott Room, hiring writers,

1173
00:36:04.780 --> 00:36:08.420
it was just like, no, it's going to be predominantly black room.

1174
00:36:08.420 --> 00:36:08.940
That's what we're doing.

1175
00:36:08.940 --> 00:36:11.420
Same thing with the cast, same thing with the crew.

1176
00:36:11.420 --> 00:36:16.260
Just, yeah, just seeing that normalized it from me.

1177
00:36:16.260 --> 00:36:17.940
And I'll have people come to my set

1178
00:36:17.940 --> 00:36:20.500
and be like, I've never seen this many black people on my set.

1179
00:36:20.500 --> 00:36:21.420
Really?

1180
00:36:21.420 --> 00:36:22.340
Very often.

1181
00:36:22.340 --> 00:36:25.140
It's not like we're all black, we're not.

1182
00:36:25.140 --> 00:36:28.980
But still, that's something that stuck with me from that show.

1183
00:36:28.980 --> 00:36:31.420
And I know when people say it to me today,

1184
00:36:31.420 --> 00:36:36.020
I'm like, oh, yeah, that's with me from being there.

1185
00:36:36.020 --> 00:36:39.180
The phrase is, I mean, it's almost now like become furniture

1186
00:36:39.180 --> 00:36:41.500
in that we use it so much that maybe it's starting to lose

1187
00:36:41.500 --> 00:36:45.380
some of its meaning when we talk about representation matters.

1188
00:36:45.380 --> 00:36:47.540
But it really does make such a difference.

1189
00:36:47.540 --> 00:36:48.780
It's why I'm on TV.

1190
00:36:48.780 --> 00:36:54.500
I saw people like Caduce and Lalla, Terence and AJ Calloway

1191
00:36:54.500 --> 00:36:57.860
and Free on TV doing this job.

1192
00:36:57.860 --> 00:37:00.260
I was like, oh, I can, of course I can do this.

1193
00:37:00.260 --> 00:37:00.940
You're so right.

1194
00:37:00.940 --> 00:37:03.660
The kids on my set, I've talked about this before,

1195
00:37:03.660 --> 00:37:08.660
but the kids are just seeing a black hair operator.

1196
00:37:10.580 --> 00:37:11.980
We're not really yelling about it.

1197
00:37:11.980 --> 00:37:13.180
They're just seeing it.

1198
00:37:13.180 --> 00:37:14.860
And it shows them what they can be.

1199
00:37:14.860 --> 00:37:17.380
I sometimes see the kids watch Tyler James Williams,

1200
00:37:17.380 --> 00:37:19.700
who's an actor in the show, also directs.

1201
00:37:19.700 --> 00:37:22.460
And that shows them that they can do more than one thing.

1202
00:37:22.460 --> 00:37:23.300
You know what I mean?

1203
00:37:23.300 --> 00:37:25.500
I feel like little moments like that matter.

1204
00:37:25.500 --> 00:37:30.500
I feel like when they see me talking to the writer

1205
00:37:31.740 --> 00:37:33.500
of the episode and like working that out,

1206
00:37:33.500 --> 00:37:36.500
but then going back and they understand

1207
00:37:36.500 --> 00:37:37.940
it's not gonna be foreign to them.

1208
00:37:37.940 --> 00:37:38.780
Right.

1209
00:37:38.780 --> 00:37:43.020
Did you have the idea for Abbott years before?

1210
00:37:43.020 --> 00:37:45.500
I mean, were you working on Abbott while you were at Buzzfeed?

1211
00:37:45.500 --> 00:37:46.780
I came up with the idea.

1212
00:37:46.780 --> 00:37:49.700
I remember, because I was with my friend Kate,

1213
00:37:49.700 --> 00:37:53.780
one of my balcony and I had just visited my mom and Philly

1214
00:37:53.780 --> 00:37:55.060
who was retiring.

1215
00:37:55.100 --> 00:37:57.020
I was trying to get her to retire, sorry.

1216
00:37:57.020 --> 00:37:57.860
Okay.

1217
00:37:57.860 --> 00:37:58.700
Yeah, that's where we were.

1218
00:37:58.700 --> 00:38:00.420
She was like not accepting it yet.

1219
00:38:00.420 --> 00:38:02.180
And I really wanted her to retire.

1220
00:38:02.180 --> 00:38:04.180
And so when I came back, I was like,

1221
00:38:04.180 --> 00:38:06.580
I think that's, there's something there.

1222
00:38:06.580 --> 00:38:08.820
There's a show there.

1223
00:38:08.820 --> 00:38:13.820
Me personally, I really like for an idea to move me.

1224
00:38:14.340 --> 00:38:18.580
I think I can think of any show idea right now, right?

1225
00:38:18.580 --> 00:38:20.180
I can look at these plants and be like,

1226
00:38:20.180 --> 00:38:22.220
oh, I think it'd be cool to have a plant shop

1227
00:38:22.220 --> 00:38:24.780
that's run by two guys and this weird girl

1228
00:38:24.820 --> 00:38:27.300
that comes by with her glasses on and every day.

1229
00:38:27.300 --> 00:38:28.460
You know, they sell flowers.

1230
00:38:28.460 --> 00:38:30.380
Weird people are coming in asking for flowers

1231
00:38:30.380 --> 00:38:31.220
for different things.

1232
00:38:31.220 --> 00:38:32.820
They want to make mulch or they want to make weed.

1233
00:38:32.820 --> 00:38:34.140
And boom, there's a show.

1234
00:38:34.140 --> 00:38:36.300
But I write it down, I like it so.

1235
00:38:36.300 --> 00:38:38.140
Quintet Brunson is just going to bring light into this.

1236
00:38:38.140 --> 00:38:38.980
It's a go.

1237
00:38:38.980 --> 00:38:41.540
But I really like when an idea is like,

1238
00:38:41.540 --> 00:38:45.180
whoa, wait, no, that feels spiritual.

1239
00:38:45.180 --> 00:38:47.500
And the idea doesn't leave me alone.

1240
00:38:47.500 --> 00:38:48.340
Right.

1241
00:38:48.340 --> 00:38:51.540
I keep waking up and it's like still there

1242
00:38:51.540 --> 00:38:54.020
and getting better and slowly getting more formed

1243
00:38:54.020 --> 00:38:54.860
and more and more.

1244
00:38:54.860 --> 00:38:56.420
So do you immediately start writing things down?

1245
00:38:56.420 --> 00:38:59.340
No, I think it's all up in the head for a really long time

1246
00:38:59.340 --> 00:39:00.500
because I'm letting it bother me.

1247
00:39:00.500 --> 00:39:03.860
I'm letting the idea kind of bother me and form

1248
00:39:03.860 --> 00:39:06.740
and turn into a bigger thing.

1249
00:39:06.740 --> 00:39:07.740
And that's how it was with Abbott.

1250
00:39:07.740 --> 00:39:09.580
So it was like 2017.

1251
00:39:09.580 --> 00:39:12.380
And then I got cast in a CW pilot as an actor.

1252
00:39:12.380 --> 00:39:13.380
I was very proud of that.

1253
00:39:13.380 --> 00:39:14.220
Yeah.

1254
00:39:14.220 --> 00:39:15.060
I hated it though.

1255
00:39:15.060 --> 00:39:17.380
Oh, so I hated it.

1256
00:39:17.380 --> 00:39:18.380
Oh, I hated it so much.

1257
00:39:18.380 --> 00:39:20.300
Wait, this shit, I, this is not for me.

1258
00:39:20.300 --> 00:39:22.780
So when it thank God did not get picked up.

1259
00:39:22.780 --> 00:39:24.700
The producers, the two writers of that pilot,

1260
00:39:24.700 --> 00:39:28.100
we all connected and they later came back

1261
00:39:28.100 --> 00:39:29.860
and like, we want to work with you on something

1262
00:39:29.860 --> 00:39:31.500
and they're an animation,

1263
00:39:31.500 --> 00:39:33.460
just in Halper and Patrick Schumacher

1264
00:39:33.460 --> 00:39:35.660
and they had the Harley Quinn show at the time.

1265
00:39:35.660 --> 00:39:39.460
I was already working on a show of Larry Wilmore for CBS.

1266
00:39:39.460 --> 00:39:42.580
So we both were off the market

1267
00:39:42.580 --> 00:39:44.460
for making a live action sitcom.

1268
00:39:44.460 --> 00:39:47.100
So I pitched Abbott to them as an animated show.

1269
00:39:47.100 --> 00:39:47.940
Right.

1270
00:39:47.940 --> 00:39:49.420
And then my pilot didn't go with Larry.

1271
00:39:49.420 --> 00:39:51.100
Harley Quinn went where it went

1272
00:39:51.100 --> 00:39:54.420
but they had another live action show that got canned.

1273
00:39:54.420 --> 00:39:56.180
And so we came together and was like,

1274
00:39:56.180 --> 00:39:57.620
let's try to do Abbott.

1275
00:39:57.620 --> 00:39:59.340
What if we do it live action now?

1276
00:39:59.340 --> 00:40:03.380
And then we had the ability to pitch it

1277
00:40:03.380 --> 00:40:05.780
and sell it as a live action show instead of animated.

1278
00:40:05.780 --> 00:40:10.260
Is there a world where there is an Abbott high school?

1279
00:40:10.260 --> 00:40:11.700
I think in order to make a spin off,

1280
00:40:11.700 --> 00:40:14.020
I would really, really, really have to believe in it.

1281
00:40:14.020 --> 00:40:14.860
I wouldn't want to.

1282
00:40:14.860 --> 00:40:16.580
That's a no, she's not feeling it.

1283
00:40:16.580 --> 00:40:18.740
She's, I can see it.

1284
00:40:18.740 --> 00:40:20.380
I can see it, but maybe not that.

1285
00:40:20.380 --> 00:40:22.260
I would, I would just really want to care about it.

1286
00:40:22.260 --> 00:40:23.500
I would want to go, you know what, yeah,

1287
00:40:23.500 --> 00:40:26.220
this is really a good show, not for the sake of being a show,

1288
00:40:26.220 --> 00:40:27.220
but this is a good show.

1289
00:40:27.220 --> 00:40:30.700
And also, if it's going to take any of your time

1290
00:40:30.700 --> 00:40:33.980
and effort away from Abbott, it's really got to be,

1291
00:40:33.980 --> 00:40:36.020
because I know you get pitch shows now all the time.

1292
00:40:36.020 --> 00:40:36.860
Yes.

1293
00:40:36.860 --> 00:40:37.860
I've been walking up to you on this street

1294
00:40:37.860 --> 00:40:38.700
and feel like, good.

1295
00:40:38.700 --> 00:40:40.620
Well, I just, I want to make good things.

1296
00:40:40.620 --> 00:40:42.620
I don't want to make things just to make them.

1297
00:40:42.620 --> 00:40:43.980
I want them to be good.

1298
00:40:43.980 --> 00:40:47.740
I think there's enough bad things.

1299
00:40:47.740 --> 00:40:48.580
It's true.

1300
00:40:48.580 --> 00:40:50.340
It's not even sure if I can call it bad art.

1301
00:40:50.340 --> 00:40:51.100
It's not bad stuff.

1302
00:40:51.100 --> 00:40:52.100
It's not bad stuff.

1303
00:40:52.100 --> 00:40:54.620
People are just making bullshit for fun.

1304
00:40:54.620 --> 00:40:55.700
And they're making money off of it.

1305
00:40:55.700 --> 00:40:56.780
And they're making money off of it.

1306
00:40:56.780 --> 00:40:57.740
And I don't really want it.

1307
00:40:57.740 --> 00:41:00.020
I don't want that to be my contribution to the world

1308
00:41:00.020 --> 00:41:01.660
because I think we deserve better.

1309
00:41:01.660 --> 00:41:02.180
Yes.

1310
00:41:02.180 --> 00:41:04.500
And I feel like when you look back at this time,

1311
00:41:04.500 --> 00:41:08.380
you're going to want some, some good art to remember

1312
00:41:08.380 --> 00:41:09.180
or to get you through.

1313
00:41:09.180 --> 00:41:11.220
That's why things were so amazing like centers, you know?

1314
00:41:11.220 --> 00:41:15.660
It's good to put your foot in it and make good art

1315
00:41:15.660 --> 00:41:17.100
because we have to have things that

1316
00:41:17.140 --> 00:41:19.460
would withstand the test of time.

1317
00:41:19.460 --> 00:41:21.380
The shows you were talking about, Fresh Prince.

1318
00:41:21.380 --> 00:41:22.220
Yeah.

1319
00:41:22.220 --> 00:41:24.700
These are things where people put their foot in it.

1320
00:41:24.700 --> 00:41:27.340
And like cultural fixations.

1321
00:41:27.340 --> 00:41:28.180
Yeah.

1322
00:41:28.180 --> 00:41:29.140
That's not by accident.

1323
00:41:29.140 --> 00:41:29.980
No.

1324
00:41:29.980 --> 00:41:33.820
And it's a lot of people's consistent effort

1325
00:41:33.820 --> 00:41:34.940
at bringing their best.

1326
00:41:34.940 --> 00:41:35.460
Totally.

1327
00:41:35.460 --> 00:41:38.260
And you know something too, Mom, here?

1328
00:41:38.260 --> 00:41:40.860
When it seems, when black people do something

1329
00:41:40.860 --> 00:41:42.940
like really, really, really good,

1330
00:41:42.940 --> 00:41:45.020
it's like very easy to,

1331
00:41:45.020 --> 00:41:47.060
because we're just like really good at a lot of things

1332
00:41:47.060 --> 00:41:50.020
to assume that there wasn't a hunt.

1333
00:41:50.020 --> 00:41:54.700
Did not often see that, and it's just not fair.

1334
00:41:54.700 --> 00:41:56.140
I think about it with athletes a lot

1335
00:41:56.140 --> 00:41:58.700
where people, you can't do what LeBron can do.

1336
00:41:58.700 --> 00:41:59.540
Baby.

1337
00:41:59.540 --> 00:42:00.380
You can't.

1338
00:42:00.380 --> 00:42:01.220
You cannot.

1339
00:42:01.220 --> 00:42:02.220
You just can't.

1340
00:42:02.220 --> 00:42:03.380
You cannot do.

1341
00:42:03.380 --> 00:42:05.340
You just can't do what he can do

1342
00:42:05.340 --> 00:42:07.220
or what Venus and Serena can do.

1343
00:42:07.220 --> 00:42:08.340
You don't even have the beads.

1344
00:42:08.340 --> 00:42:10.220
You don't even have the beads.

1345
00:42:10.220 --> 00:42:11.140
Now try it with the beads.

1346
00:42:11.140 --> 00:42:11.980
You have nothing.

1347
00:42:11.980 --> 00:42:14.300
So it's just this thing where we can make things

1348
00:42:14.300 --> 00:42:15.340
look really easy.

1349
00:42:15.340 --> 00:42:16.380
I'll put it that way.

1350
00:42:16.380 --> 00:42:18.300
I've really focused on it with my cast

1351
00:42:18.300 --> 00:42:21.260
because I think Janelle Tyler, even the white ones,

1352
00:42:21.260 --> 00:42:23.100
they make it look really easy.

1353
00:42:23.100 --> 00:42:25.340
They make it look really easy.

1354
00:42:25.340 --> 00:42:27.620
So I think they can do it and you can't.

1355
00:42:27.620 --> 00:42:28.460
And you cannot.

1356
00:42:28.460 --> 00:42:31.460
It's another reason why I think you are.

1357
00:42:31.460 --> 00:42:32.580
It's why I feel the way I do about you.

1358
00:42:32.580 --> 00:42:33.420
Anyway, keep going.

1359
00:42:35.140 --> 00:42:37.660
I'm working on being better about receiving it,

1360
00:42:37.660 --> 00:42:38.900
and I thank you for that.

1361
00:42:38.900 --> 00:42:39.740
I appreciate it.

1362
00:42:39.740 --> 00:42:40.420
I really do.

1363
00:42:40.420 --> 00:42:41.260
Yeah.

1364
00:42:41.260 --> 00:42:45.500
But I think it is another reason why people gravitate

1365
00:42:45.500 --> 00:42:48.420
to your story and to your experience in this business

1366
00:42:48.420 --> 00:42:51.660
because it's like, oh, she makes it look so easy.

1367
00:42:51.660 --> 00:42:54.060
And you hear in like the packages around you,

1368
00:42:54.060 --> 00:42:57.420
the pieces now being written about how you're doing this,

1369
00:42:57.420 --> 00:43:02.100
that we know it's not easy, but like you made it look like

1370
00:43:02.100 --> 00:43:04.220
you went from this thing straight into that.

1371
00:43:04.220 --> 00:43:05.460
And I know that's not the case.

1372
00:43:05.460 --> 00:43:08.220
No, and also don't want it to come off like,

1373
00:43:08.220 --> 00:43:10.580
oh, what I do is so hard.

1374
00:43:11.340 --> 00:43:14.100
I won't say that either, but I do care a lot.

1375
00:43:14.100 --> 00:43:16.220
And when you see it in other people,

1376
00:43:16.220 --> 00:43:18.900
when you see it, that's why things like,

1377
00:43:18.900 --> 00:43:20.900
centers was so exciting this year.

1378
00:43:20.900 --> 00:43:23.780
That crew of people care a lot about the art they're making.

1379
00:43:23.780 --> 00:43:24.780
They would create it.

1380
00:43:24.780 --> 00:43:25.620
Exactly.

1381
00:43:25.620 --> 00:43:27.860
And if you don't care, that's when it's easy.

1382
00:43:27.860 --> 00:43:30.740
When you care a lot, that's when you're making something

1383
00:43:30.740 --> 00:43:31.980
that matters, I think.

1384
00:43:31.980 --> 00:43:33.260
When did you know that this was a route

1385
00:43:33.260 --> 00:43:36.900
that you wanted to take that creating in the comedy space?

1386
00:43:36.900 --> 00:43:38.620
It was how far I was willing to go for it.

1387
00:43:38.620 --> 00:43:43.620
So in college, you know, I started really pursuing it.

1388
00:43:44.900 --> 00:43:47.220
And I just get on autopilot.

1389
00:43:47.220 --> 00:43:49.940
I got a job teaching dance.

1390
00:43:49.940 --> 00:43:53.060
And in that job, I just was trying to make enough money

1391
00:43:53.060 --> 00:43:54.380
to go to Chicago.

1392
00:43:54.380 --> 00:43:56.100
I had a boyfriend who lived in Chicago at that time.

1393
00:43:56.100 --> 00:43:57.580
So I had somewhere to stay.

1394
00:43:57.580 --> 00:43:59.060
All I had before was a plane ticket

1395
00:43:59.060 --> 00:44:01.300
in these classes at Second City.

1396
00:44:01.300 --> 00:44:05.060
And I was in Chicago like, did I just find myself to Chicago?

1397
00:44:05.060 --> 00:44:07.740
Like I was, I was a sophomore.

1398
00:44:07.740 --> 00:44:10.060
I had never, that was my first time on a plane.

1399
00:44:10.060 --> 00:44:11.500
I had never been on a plane before.

1400
00:44:11.500 --> 00:44:12.340
Wow.

1401
00:44:12.340 --> 00:44:14.540
And so I was really shocked at how far I was willing

1402
00:44:14.540 --> 00:44:16.500
to go for that craft.

1403
00:44:16.500 --> 00:44:20.100
And then I learned about all the other different aspects

1404
00:44:20.100 --> 00:44:23.020
of it, writing, performing, being a clown,

1405
00:44:23.020 --> 00:44:25.740
versus being a comic, versus being a comedian,

1406
00:44:25.740 --> 00:44:28.780
and how there was this range that I really appreciated.

1407
00:44:28.780 --> 00:44:30.980
It made a lot make sense for me, you know,

1408
00:44:30.980 --> 00:44:35.500
the very principles of improv felt like life to me,

1409
00:44:35.500 --> 00:44:37.140
like saying yes and.

1410
00:44:37.140 --> 00:44:41.140
And never saying no, it was already kind of partly

1411
00:44:41.140 --> 00:44:42.700
how I lived my life, my code.

1412
00:44:42.700 --> 00:44:44.300
So it clicked for you pretty easy.

1413
00:44:44.300 --> 00:44:45.460
It clicked really easy.

1414
00:44:45.460 --> 00:44:47.380
This is what people talk about flow.

1415
00:44:47.380 --> 00:44:48.220
Yes.

1416
00:44:48.220 --> 00:44:51.580
School probably felt like in a lot of ways.

1417
00:44:51.580 --> 00:44:55.580
I never stayed in any school to be in.

1418
00:44:55.580 --> 00:44:57.580
Like I did it.

1419
00:44:57.580 --> 00:44:59.580
I, I, I, I.

1420
00:44:59.580 --> 00:45:01.620
You said, no, as soon as that we flow in some words.

1421
00:45:01.620 --> 00:45:02.940
I did, I did.

1422
00:45:02.940 --> 00:45:03.900
I did this feeling.

1423
00:45:03.900 --> 00:45:06.660
Seriously, high school, I was like, I'm done with this school

1424
00:45:06.660 --> 00:45:07.660
now.

1425
00:45:07.660 --> 00:45:08.660
I'm going to go to a different school.

1426
00:45:08.660 --> 00:45:09.660
That's how I was supposed to treat school.

1427
00:45:09.660 --> 00:45:10.660
But I did.

1428
00:45:10.660 --> 00:45:11.660
I really did.

1429
00:45:11.660 --> 00:45:14.020
And then even at my school that I switched to,

1430
00:45:14.020 --> 00:45:17.100
which was in art school, much more conducive for me,

1431
00:45:17.100 --> 00:45:19.340
when I just didn't feel like going to school anymore,

1432
00:45:19.340 --> 00:45:20.340
which wasn't good.

1433
00:45:20.340 --> 00:45:21.340
This is true and see.

1434
00:45:21.340 --> 00:45:22.340
Don't do this too.

1435
00:45:22.340 --> 00:45:23.340
It is.

1436
00:45:23.340 --> 00:45:24.340
But I just stopped going.

1437
00:45:24.340 --> 00:45:26.540
And I decided that Philly was in my school.

1438
00:45:26.540 --> 00:45:30.700
I would walk around the city all day long and just go

1439
00:45:30.700 --> 00:45:34.340
to different museums and different.

1440
00:45:34.340 --> 00:45:35.500
I would just walk around.

1441
00:45:35.500 --> 00:45:36.500
That's a week.

1442
00:45:36.500 --> 00:45:37.500
Having a mother that is an educator.

1443
00:45:37.500 --> 00:45:38.500
Yeah, she didn't like that.

1444
00:45:38.500 --> 00:45:39.500
How did she feel about that?

1445
00:45:39.500 --> 00:45:40.500
She didn't like that.

1446
00:45:40.500 --> 00:45:43.700
She didn't know about a lot of it.

1447
00:45:43.700 --> 00:45:46.380
She didn't know about a lot of it until one day.

1448
00:45:46.380 --> 00:45:47.700
She did because she got a call.

1449
00:45:47.700 --> 00:45:48.700
Right.

1450
00:45:48.700 --> 00:45:50.180
But, but she didn't know about a lot of it.

1451
00:45:50.180 --> 00:45:52.180
And in college, same kind of deal, you know.

1452
00:45:52.180 --> 00:45:56.380
I just was like, I've had my fun and now it's time for me to

1453
00:45:56.380 --> 00:45:59.260
move on kind of at a certain point.

1454
00:45:59.260 --> 00:46:01.380
I think during my junior year, I was in Chicago more than I

1455
00:46:01.380 --> 00:46:02.380
was in Philly.

1456
00:46:02.380 --> 00:46:03.380
Wow.

1457
00:46:03.380 --> 00:46:04.380
And I came back to Philly.

1458
00:46:04.380 --> 00:46:05.380
Perfectly.

1459
00:46:05.380 --> 00:46:06.380
No, they're not.

1460
00:46:06.380 --> 00:46:07.380
That's what I mean, too.

1461
00:46:07.380 --> 00:46:10.460
That's how far I was willing to go to get this education and

1462
00:46:10.460 --> 00:46:11.460
comedy.

1463
00:46:11.460 --> 00:46:14.540
And I've said this before, but it was the first time someone

1464
00:46:14.540 --> 00:46:16.740
like handed me money to do something.

1465
00:46:16.740 --> 00:46:19.700
I had a teacher there, Shelley Gosman, who was like, you need

1466
00:46:19.700 --> 00:46:20.700
to take the writing course.

1467
00:46:20.700 --> 00:46:23.100
And I told her, I don't have any money to take the writing

1468
00:46:23.100 --> 00:46:24.100
course.

1469
00:46:24.100 --> 00:46:25.700
And she gave me the money out of her pocket to take the writing

1470
00:46:25.700 --> 00:46:28.900
course because she felt like I needed to do it that much

1471
00:46:28.900 --> 00:46:30.420
and that changed my life.

1472
00:46:30.420 --> 00:46:32.820
So it was also this thing I loved that loved me back.

1473
00:46:33.700 --> 00:46:36.980
So quickly, you know, and so it was so symbiotic.

1474
00:46:36.980 --> 00:46:37.820
Yeah.

1475
00:46:37.820 --> 00:46:40.020
Did you find early success in it?

1476
00:46:40.020 --> 00:46:43.460
Did you find success is I think relative?

1477
00:46:43.460 --> 00:46:45.780
I think because I think, you know, some of you have an

1478
00:46:45.780 --> 00:46:47.620
opportunity to do something and then it's like, I'm not

1479
00:46:47.620 --> 00:46:48.620
good at it.

1480
00:46:48.620 --> 00:46:49.140
Oh, yes.

1481
00:46:49.140 --> 00:46:50.100
I was good at it.

1482
00:46:50.100 --> 00:46:50.780
OK.

1483
00:46:50.780 --> 00:46:54.300
Success didn't mean money, it meant finding like community

1484
00:46:54.300 --> 00:46:58.060
and feeling good and feeling good about what I was doing.

1485
00:46:58.060 --> 00:47:01.620
Even though for me, it often took me off the beaten path,

1486
00:47:01.620 --> 00:47:04.660
you know, like a lot of my friends and Philly, it was like,

1487
00:47:04.660 --> 00:47:06.220
what the hell is an improv club?

1488
00:47:06.220 --> 00:47:09.220
Like they literally, like, Quinto, why are you hanging out

1489
00:47:09.220 --> 00:47:10.940
with all these white theater kids?

1490
00:47:10.940 --> 00:47:14.260
I'm talking theater kids down, OK?

1491
00:47:14.260 --> 00:47:16.460
Like, this is before theater kids were cool.

1492
00:47:16.460 --> 00:47:17.460
Right right.

1493
00:47:17.460 --> 00:47:19.340
And it was like, you would not be housey

1494
00:47:19.340 --> 00:47:20.820
mode with describe a theater kid.

1495
00:47:20.820 --> 00:47:22.540
No, and I wasn't one either.

1496
00:47:22.540 --> 00:47:23.860
You know, I was cool.

1497
00:47:23.860 --> 00:47:26.060
I was like, I want to be clean.

1498
00:47:26.060 --> 00:47:27.180
I want to be clean.

1499
00:47:27.180 --> 00:47:28.420
Oh my gosh.

1500
00:47:28.420 --> 00:47:29.220
The takes too.

1501
00:47:29.220 --> 00:47:30.220
Like, I knew what I mean.

1502
00:47:30.220 --> 00:47:32.980
I was like, that was always cool.

1503
00:47:32.980 --> 00:47:36.180
So it was a little bit of a, but I was always moving around

1504
00:47:36.180 --> 00:47:37.180
the where I felt best.

1505
00:47:37.180 --> 00:47:39.860
And at the time, I felt best hanging out with the theater kids

1506
00:47:39.860 --> 00:47:41.180
doing improv.

1507
00:47:41.180 --> 00:47:43.180
And I would clown on them, like, you theater

1508
00:47:43.180 --> 00:47:45.340
as theater kids, but, you know, but they were,

1509
00:47:45.340 --> 00:47:48.260
but I was so grateful for them too at the same time,

1510
00:47:48.260 --> 00:47:50.340
because, yeah, they changed my life.

1511
00:47:50.340 --> 00:47:52.860
And so I just would always move to what felt best

1512
00:47:52.860 --> 00:47:55.740
and comedy felt incredible.

1513
00:47:55.740 --> 00:47:57.540
But I'm interested in drama too.

1514
00:47:57.540 --> 00:48:01.220
I think I'm very excited about the idea of leaping

1515
00:48:01.220 --> 00:48:02.540
into that someday soon.

1516
00:48:02.540 --> 00:48:03.780
Yeah, I see it for you.

1517
00:48:03.780 --> 00:48:04.300
Thanks.

1518
00:48:04.300 --> 00:48:09.700
People say, often, some of the best drama

1519
00:48:09.700 --> 00:48:11.500
comes with a sense of humor.

1520
00:48:11.500 --> 00:48:12.020
Definitely.

1521
00:48:12.020 --> 00:48:15.620
And I think that we all, my worldview

1522
00:48:15.620 --> 00:48:17.540
is that you should do something really, really, really

1523
00:48:17.540 --> 00:48:21.180
well and do that thing very, very, very well.

1524
00:48:21.180 --> 00:48:23.460
But you shouldn't box yourself in.

1525
00:48:23.460 --> 00:48:27.140
Have you ever felt boxed in by this abbot

1526
00:48:27.180 --> 00:48:27.900
machine?

1527
00:48:27.900 --> 00:48:28.580
Totally.

1528
00:48:28.580 --> 00:48:30.380
Because I think people have this understanding

1529
00:48:30.380 --> 00:48:31.940
of this expectation that, oh, okay.

1530
00:48:31.940 --> 00:48:33.100
So this is who she is.

1531
00:48:33.100 --> 00:48:33.940
Totally.

1532
00:48:33.940 --> 00:48:35.900
And that's the business.

1533
00:48:35.900 --> 00:48:37.500
They have to put you in a box to make you work,

1534
00:48:37.500 --> 00:48:41.180
but it's up to you to not put yourself in a box,

1535
00:48:41.180 --> 00:48:42.620
I would say, but I do think it's important

1536
00:48:42.620 --> 00:48:43.900
to do something really, really well.

1537
00:48:43.900 --> 00:48:48.420
Jordan Peele, killing comedy for a really long time.

1538
00:48:48.420 --> 00:48:50.580
And he didn't box himself in and say,

1539
00:48:50.580 --> 00:48:52.380
I can't attempt to do the other things.

1540
00:48:52.380 --> 00:48:53.740
I'm always going to bring up athletes,

1541
00:48:53.780 --> 00:48:56.500
but stuff carries the best three-point shooter

1542
00:48:56.500 --> 00:48:57.500
in the world.

1543
00:48:57.500 --> 00:48:59.420
That should lend itself well to golf.

1544
00:48:59.420 --> 00:49:00.380
Of course, you're a good guy.

1545
00:49:00.380 --> 00:49:03.100
Don't box yourself into that same thing with Dwayne Wade.

1546
00:49:03.100 --> 00:49:04.100
Maybe the company.

1547
00:49:04.100 --> 00:49:04.940
You know what I mean?

1548
00:49:04.940 --> 00:49:06.980
And he's done incredible work now.

1549
00:49:06.980 --> 00:49:08.500
I really think about athletes in that way

1550
00:49:08.500 --> 00:49:10.940
because clearly you're very, very good at one thing.

1551
00:49:10.940 --> 00:49:13.140
But that doesn't mean you don't just play

1552
00:49:13.140 --> 00:49:16.180
another sport for fun or because you have interest in it.

1553
00:49:16.180 --> 00:49:19.780
So I try to not limit myself to the things I'm interested,

1554
00:49:19.780 --> 00:49:21.460
like to the only thing I'm good at

1555
00:49:21.460 --> 00:49:23.140
and try to do things I'm interested in.

1556
00:49:23.140 --> 00:49:28.140
How do you, when butted up against conflict or obstacle?

1557
00:49:28.980 --> 00:49:31.860
How do you move through those situations?

1558
00:49:31.860 --> 00:49:33.900
Because the perspective of you is that

1559
00:49:33.900 --> 00:49:36.460
now everything you want, especially professionally,

1560
00:49:36.460 --> 00:49:37.300
anything you want.

1561
00:49:37.300 --> 00:49:38.900
But I would imagine that there are still things

1562
00:49:38.900 --> 00:49:40.580
or still avenues you have to fight for.

1563
00:49:40.580 --> 00:49:42.260
There's still things you have to,

1564
00:49:42.260 --> 00:49:44.940
even when it comes to episodes for Abby.

1565
00:49:44.940 --> 00:49:48.180
There are still things I want to make creatively

1566
00:49:48.180 --> 00:49:52.260
that because of Abby

1567
00:49:52.260 --> 00:49:55.020
and because of the perception of blackness,

1568
00:49:55.020 --> 00:49:58.460
there can be hard, it can make it hard to make.

1569
00:49:58.460 --> 00:50:00.980
So I don't give in though.

1570
00:50:00.980 --> 00:50:05.980
And I try to remember that I have time.

1571
00:50:06.180 --> 00:50:09.500
I'm fortunate, I have a good life.

1572
00:50:09.500 --> 00:50:12.140
I have all the things I need.

1573
00:50:12.140 --> 00:50:14.860
And I'm not speaking in terms of like money,

1574
00:50:14.860 --> 00:50:17.180
I have my family, I have my friends,

1575
00:50:17.180 --> 00:50:20.020
I have a roof over my head, I have air to breathe.

1576
00:50:20.300 --> 00:50:22.540
I'm fortunately in good health.

1577
00:50:22.540 --> 00:50:26.940
So anything else that I really believe in may take time.

1578
00:50:26.940 --> 00:50:28.620
There are projects I want to make

1579
00:50:29.620 --> 00:50:31.780
that if they're not at this moment understood,

1580
00:50:31.780 --> 00:50:33.980
then I'm not supposed to make them yet.

1581
00:50:33.980 --> 00:50:37.580
I'm not going to like force the studio to get the idea.

1582
00:50:37.580 --> 00:50:41.620
I'll wait until the right doors open.

1583
00:50:41.620 --> 00:50:45.060
And something I'm grateful for is the puzzle pieces

1584
00:50:45.060 --> 00:50:48.180
of other creators, you know, doing things.

1585
00:50:48.180 --> 00:50:49.980
This is all a big puzzle.

1586
00:50:49.980 --> 00:50:50.940
You're part of it.

1587
00:50:50.940 --> 00:50:51.820
I'm part of it.

1588
00:50:51.820 --> 00:50:54.820
When I made Abbott, that opened doors for other things to be made.

1589
00:50:54.820 --> 00:50:56.660
Other shows have opened the doors for this to be made.

1590
00:50:56.660 --> 00:50:58.660
Your show will open the door for other things to be made.

1591
00:50:58.660 --> 00:51:01.660
That's why I stress the importance of good art

1592
00:51:01.660 --> 00:51:04.020
because it opens the doors for better art.

1593
00:51:04.020 --> 00:51:05.620
Yeah, I do know what I mean.

1594
00:51:05.620 --> 00:51:09.060
And so I think that's why I get so excited about things

1595
00:51:09.060 --> 00:51:11.980
like centers because it's like I understand the doors.

1596
00:51:11.980 --> 00:51:12.820
It will open.

1597
00:51:12.820 --> 00:51:15.060
Going to open, that was the beauty of insecure years ago.

1598
00:51:15.060 --> 00:51:16.660
I don't think I would have been able to make Abbott

1599
00:51:16.660 --> 00:51:18.340
if insecure in Atlanta didn't exist.

1600
00:51:18.340 --> 00:51:19.180
You think so?

1601
00:51:19.180 --> 00:51:20.580
I know so.

1602
00:51:20.580 --> 00:51:22.220
I know so.

1603
00:51:22.220 --> 00:51:25.660
And I know that Abbott, and I'm sure to noise some creatives,

1604
00:51:25.660 --> 00:51:28.020
I'm sure some people are going into rooms like,

1605
00:51:28.020 --> 00:51:29.820
y'all stop fucking bringing up Abbott.

1606
00:51:29.820 --> 00:51:32.220
I know, because you know what happens.

1607
00:51:32.220 --> 00:51:34.500
You know it does, because at the same time,

1608
00:51:34.500 --> 00:51:36.780
I wasn't seeking to make another insecure

1609
00:51:36.780 --> 00:51:38.540
or another Atlanta, but those shows,

1610
00:51:38.540 --> 00:51:41.420
the existence of those shows allowed Abbott to exist.

1611
00:51:41.420 --> 00:51:42.980
Right, some frame of reference for people

1612
00:51:42.980 --> 00:51:44.300
who otherwise would have none.

1613
00:51:44.300 --> 00:51:45.140
Yes.

1614
00:51:45.140 --> 00:51:46.820
And the more pieces we add to the puzzle,

1615
00:51:46.820 --> 00:51:51.900
the more we can make what we want to make, you know?

1616
00:51:51.900 --> 00:51:52.740
Yeah.

1617
00:51:52.740 --> 00:51:55.180
So I try to just sway, just like, oh,

1618
00:51:55.180 --> 00:51:56.580
we need some more puzzle pieces for me

1619
00:51:56.580 --> 00:51:58.060
to make the thing that I want to make.

1620
00:51:58.060 --> 00:51:58.900
I know.

1621
00:51:58.900 --> 00:52:04.140
I think it's a really beautiful way to look at the saying,

1622
00:52:04.140 --> 00:52:06.900
the phrase that delay is not denial.

1623
00:52:06.900 --> 00:52:08.300
Oh, I've never heard that one.

1624
00:52:08.300 --> 00:52:10.500
And that sometimes the thing that isn't happening right now

1625
00:52:10.500 --> 00:52:11.860
doesn't mean you abandon it.

1626
00:52:11.860 --> 00:52:12.700
Yes.

1627
00:52:12.700 --> 00:52:14.420
But sometimes we need to focus on other things

1628
00:52:14.420 --> 00:52:15.420
to make your reality.

1629
00:52:15.420 --> 00:52:17.340
Post took like 10 years to make.

1630
00:52:17.340 --> 00:52:18.180
Right.

1631
00:52:18.180 --> 00:52:19.340
You know, 10 years.

1632
00:52:19.340 --> 00:52:20.180
10 years.

1633
00:52:20.180 --> 00:52:23.420
But that's 10 years of probably lack of understanding,

1634
00:52:23.420 --> 00:52:25.260
going to places indoors, closing,

1635
00:52:25.260 --> 00:52:26.780
people not quite getting the idea,

1636
00:52:26.780 --> 00:52:29.020
because we just talk about, you don't want to take something

1637
00:52:29.020 --> 00:52:30.420
somewhere and they don't get it.

1638
00:52:30.420 --> 00:52:31.860
So they try to change it to something

1639
00:52:31.860 --> 00:52:33.300
that they understand better.

1640
00:52:33.300 --> 00:52:34.660
I read that you get, Abbot was like that.

1641
00:52:34.660 --> 00:52:36.660
Abbot, you know, I, part of the reason

1642
00:52:36.660 --> 00:52:39.780
wound up ABC was because of this woman, Erin Warrenberg,

1643
00:52:39.780 --> 00:52:41.020
who just got it.

1644
00:52:41.020 --> 00:52:43.060
And I was like, I trust her, she trusts me.

1645
00:52:43.060 --> 00:52:44.580
She now runs my company.

1646
00:52:44.580 --> 00:52:45.420
Is that right?

1647
00:52:45.420 --> 00:52:47.460
Yeah, because she's super tight.

1648
00:52:47.460 --> 00:52:48.300
She gets it.

1649
00:52:48.300 --> 00:52:50.980
Did you have situations where people tried to change

1650
00:52:50.980 --> 00:52:51.980
so significantly?

1651
00:52:51.980 --> 00:52:54.380
Yeah, sure, sure.

1652
00:52:54.380 --> 00:52:56.660
I'm more so experienced at previous projects

1653
00:52:56.660 --> 00:52:59.460
where it was like, okay, you don't want the idea.

1654
00:52:59.460 --> 00:53:03.300
You would like to turn it into what works for this network.

1655
00:53:03.300 --> 00:53:05.220
You want me in some regard.

1656
00:53:05.220 --> 00:53:06.060
Yes.

1657
00:53:06.060 --> 00:53:07.860
But to do what you want me to do,

1658
00:53:07.860 --> 00:53:08.780
not what I came here to do.

1659
00:53:08.780 --> 00:53:09.620
Totally.

1660
00:53:09.620 --> 00:53:12.340
There were other things like ABC, all good.

1661
00:53:12.340 --> 00:53:13.340
ABC, it's all good.

1662
00:53:13.340 --> 00:53:14.340
And how do I say ABC?

1663
00:53:14.340 --> 00:53:16.100
I just wanted all of it.

1664
00:53:16.100 --> 00:53:17.100
It's a big game game.

1665
00:53:17.100 --> 00:53:18.460
We're locked in.

1666
00:53:18.460 --> 00:53:20.020
But no, like in the beginning, for instance,

1667
00:53:20.020 --> 00:53:23.020
they really, really, really wanted

1668
00:53:23.020 --> 00:53:27.340
like some wack ass name, like, for the show.

1669
00:53:27.340 --> 00:53:29.420
They wanted it to be called like, class act or something

1670
00:53:29.420 --> 00:53:30.420
like that.

1671
00:53:30.420 --> 00:53:30.940
Wow.

1672
00:53:30.940 --> 00:53:32.980
And I said, it's giving 80s.

1673
00:53:32.980 --> 00:53:34.300
It's not good.

1674
00:53:34.300 --> 00:53:37.420
They wanted a name that felt like, class act,

1675
00:53:37.420 --> 00:53:40.180
just full 180,000, and I was just not with them.

1676
00:53:40.180 --> 00:53:43.700
I mean, it has a certain kind of ring.

1677
00:53:43.700 --> 00:53:45.940
It didn't have a genase or a say or a qual.

1678
00:53:45.940 --> 00:53:46.940
No, it doesn't.

1679
00:53:46.940 --> 00:53:47.940
It did.

1680
00:53:47.940 --> 00:53:49.660
Oh, what was the one I hated?

1681
00:53:49.660 --> 00:53:50.700
Oh, it was when I hated.

1682
00:53:50.700 --> 00:53:52.540
It was like, Tom Foulery.

1683
00:53:52.540 --> 00:53:57.100
I was like, oh, also getting kind of close to one.

1684
00:53:57.100 --> 00:53:58.180
You can't say any.

1685
00:53:58.180 --> 00:53:59.620
I said, how do I like that, please?

1686
00:53:59.620 --> 00:54:00.460
Uncle, who?

1687
00:54:00.460 --> 00:54:02.060
Or another one they were big on?

1688
00:54:02.060 --> 00:54:03.900
They, you know, this is common knowledge.

1689
00:54:03.900 --> 00:54:06.100
And I don't feel bad because it makes you

1690
00:54:06.100 --> 00:54:09.700
general look even greater is they really wanted

1691
00:54:09.700 --> 00:54:13.620
somebody well-known for principal Ava.

1692
00:54:13.620 --> 00:54:16.100
And they threw a bunch of people at me.

1693
00:54:16.100 --> 00:54:17.540
That are good actresses.

1694
00:54:17.540 --> 00:54:18.500
Absolutely.

1695
00:54:18.500 --> 00:54:20.500
But I really saw it as an opportunity

1696
00:54:20.500 --> 00:54:24.180
to launch a new face, who also was just.

1697
00:54:24.180 --> 00:54:25.300
Ready.

1698
00:54:25.300 --> 00:54:28.500
There has been a major shift in the industry

1699
00:54:28.500 --> 00:54:30.100
for how things are made.

1700
00:54:30.100 --> 00:54:34.620
There used to be a belief for studios, for networks

1701
00:54:34.620 --> 00:54:36.060
that we're going to launch talent.

1702
00:54:36.060 --> 00:54:37.140
We're going to develop talent.

1703
00:54:37.140 --> 00:54:37.660
Totally.

1704
00:54:37.660 --> 00:54:40.100
Now, it's like, can by all the Davis come back

1705
00:54:40.100 --> 00:54:41.140
and be a teacher?

1706
00:54:41.140 --> 00:54:43.540
Streaming has changed a lot.

1707
00:54:43.540 --> 00:54:46.100
And these networks, I understand the outward perception

1708
00:54:46.100 --> 00:54:50.500
is that they just don't want to, they're afraid to take risks

1709
00:54:50.500 --> 00:54:55.060
because the market has become riskier and riskier.

1710
00:54:55.060 --> 00:54:57.820
There's more of an opportunity to lose money.

1711
00:54:57.820 --> 00:54:59.020
And they're afraid to lose money.

1712
00:54:59.020 --> 00:55:00.460
Everybody's afraid to lose money.

1713
00:55:00.460 --> 00:55:02.300
Even people with the most money.

1714
00:55:02.300 --> 00:55:07.260
The audiences are, you know, intense.

1715
00:55:07.260 --> 00:55:08.260
Intense.

1716
00:55:08.260 --> 00:55:09.860
And he used to be that way back in the day either.

1717
00:55:09.860 --> 00:55:11.740
It was like, you put a show on.

1718
00:55:11.740 --> 00:55:14.300
You didn't hear how many people didn't like it.

1719
00:55:14.300 --> 00:55:15.300
It was just on.

1720
00:55:15.300 --> 00:55:16.420
And you watched it anyway.

1721
00:55:16.420 --> 00:55:17.260
You watched it too.

1722
00:55:17.260 --> 00:55:18.260
Because it was all those, there was to watch.

1723
00:55:18.260 --> 00:55:19.660
It's all there was to watch.

1724
00:55:19.660 --> 00:55:21.420
I was thinking that I was watching.

1725
00:55:21.420 --> 00:55:23.580
I'm going to say what show I was watching the other day.

1726
00:55:23.580 --> 00:55:26.180
But man, I was watching a show that is a very popular show

1727
00:55:26.180 --> 00:55:28.580
that I was like, we only watched this because this was on TV.

1728
00:55:28.580 --> 00:55:29.420
Because it was on TV.

1729
00:55:29.420 --> 00:55:30.420
This is not good.

1730
00:55:30.420 --> 00:55:33.140
There were probably three shows in my top 10 shows

1731
00:55:33.140 --> 00:55:34.660
that I hate, but we watched it.

1732
00:55:34.660 --> 00:55:35.820
Because it was all that was on TV.

1733
00:55:35.820 --> 00:55:36.660
I was so curious.

1734
00:55:36.660 --> 00:55:37.820
I'm going to talk about it off camera.

1735
00:55:37.820 --> 00:55:39.260
Because there's one big one where I'm like,

1736
00:55:39.260 --> 00:55:41.380
this was just on TV.

1737
00:55:41.380 --> 00:55:42.460
I'm going to say it.

1738
00:55:42.460 --> 00:55:43.460
The OC.

1739
00:55:43.460 --> 00:55:45.260
Oh.

1740
00:55:45.260 --> 00:55:46.700
It was not a good show.

1741
00:55:46.700 --> 00:55:47.700
I never engaged.

1742
00:55:47.700 --> 00:55:49.700
Oh, baby, I was sad.

1743
00:55:49.700 --> 00:55:50.420
I never engaged.

1744
00:55:50.420 --> 00:55:51.220
Seed it.

1745
00:55:51.220 --> 00:55:52.420
I never engaged.

1746
00:55:52.420 --> 00:55:55.140
And when I tell you, I look back at trying to watch that show,

1747
00:55:55.140 --> 00:55:58.180
I say, what the hell was I talking about?

1748
00:55:58.220 --> 00:56:00.620
This is not a good show.

1749
00:56:00.620 --> 00:56:01.460
Love everybody.

1750
00:56:01.460 --> 00:56:02.780
But what was it on TV?

1751
00:56:02.780 --> 00:56:03.620
On TV.

1752
00:56:03.620 --> 00:56:04.460
On TV.

1753
00:56:04.460 --> 00:56:05.460
And everyone was talking about it.

1754
00:56:05.460 --> 00:56:06.460
Oh, my God.

1755
00:56:06.460 --> 00:56:08.620
And you didn't get to write directly to the creator.

1756
00:56:08.620 --> 00:56:09.620
No.

1757
00:56:09.620 --> 00:56:11.820
And so, you know, they're less likely to take risks

1758
00:56:11.820 --> 00:56:13.980
because the risks immediately bite them in the ass

1759
00:56:13.980 --> 00:56:15.500
where they didn't happen back in the day.

1760
00:56:15.500 --> 00:56:16.780
Well, I'm so thankful for you.

1761
00:56:16.780 --> 00:56:17.780
We think so.

1762
00:56:17.780 --> 00:56:18.780
That you were in the place that you were in.

1763
00:56:18.780 --> 00:56:19.780
Thank you.

1764
00:56:19.780 --> 00:56:20.780
I want some more good art.

1765
00:56:20.780 --> 00:56:21.940
Everybody just focused on making some good stuff.

1766
00:56:21.940 --> 00:56:22.780
Some good art.

1767
00:56:22.780 --> 00:56:24.100
Don't make stuff just to make it.

1768
00:56:24.100 --> 00:56:24.940
Make good stuff.

1769
00:56:24.940 --> 00:56:25.780
Make good stuff.

1770
00:56:25.780 --> 00:56:28.060
And then I promise you, we will get back to an era

1771
00:56:28.060 --> 00:56:29.660
where we can afford to make bullshit again.

1772
00:56:29.660 --> 00:56:30.460
But we're not there.

1773
00:56:30.460 --> 00:56:31.460
We need good things.

1774
00:56:31.460 --> 00:56:32.660
Also, we are not there.

1775
00:56:32.660 --> 00:56:33.460
We are not there.

1776
00:56:33.460 --> 00:56:34.460
We are never going to be here.

1777
00:56:34.460 --> 00:56:36.460
We are really good stuff.

1778
00:56:36.460 --> 00:56:37.460
We are really good stuff.

1779
00:56:37.460 --> 00:56:38.460
Yes.

1780
00:56:38.460 --> 00:56:39.460
Great play this game.

1781
00:56:39.460 --> 00:56:40.460
Cheers.

1782
00:56:40.460 --> 00:56:41.460
Let's play a game.

1783
00:56:41.460 --> 00:56:42.460
We talk about game night with you, too.

1784
00:56:42.460 --> 00:56:43.460
You have to come to my next one.

1785
00:56:43.460 --> 00:56:44.460
It's a really good time.

1786
00:56:44.460 --> 00:56:45.460
I'm down.

1787
00:56:45.460 --> 00:56:46.460
I'm autistic people.

1788
00:56:46.460 --> 00:56:47.460
Come out tonight, game night.

1789
00:56:47.460 --> 00:56:48.460
It's a good time for people who, you know,

1790
00:56:48.460 --> 00:56:49.460
you don't really.

1791
00:56:49.460 --> 00:56:51.460
What?

1792
00:56:51.460 --> 00:56:52.460
What?

1793
00:56:52.460 --> 00:56:53.460
What?

1794
00:56:53.460 --> 00:56:55.460
My artistic people come out.

1795
00:56:56.460 --> 00:56:57.660
Oh.

1796
00:56:57.660 --> 00:56:58.860
No, I'm not.

1797
00:56:58.860 --> 00:57:01.340
But all my autistic people really have fun

1798
00:57:01.340 --> 00:57:03.460
in the game night because they say that it's a great uprising.

1799
00:57:03.460 --> 00:57:06.260
It's a great neutralizer, you know, it's a great, so,

1800
00:57:06.260 --> 00:57:08.460
that is a real, you know, have a game night.

1801
00:57:08.460 --> 00:57:10.860
I think it's a good time.

1802
00:57:10.860 --> 00:57:12.860
I love you so much.

1803
00:57:12.860 --> 00:57:15.740
What if my friends is like, deeply, so he really,

1804
00:57:15.740 --> 00:57:16.980
He really really,

1805
00:57:16.980 --> 00:57:18.260
It's a lot of us around here.

1806
00:57:18.260 --> 00:57:20.460
Yeah, I'm definitely on this spectrum.

1807
00:57:20.460 --> 00:57:22.860
Every, like, version of a spectrum there is, I'm on it.

1808
00:57:22.860 --> 00:57:25.580
I couldn't do what I, what I do without.

1809
00:57:25.580 --> 00:57:26.620
Some level of that.

1810
00:57:27.700 --> 00:57:28.820
Okay, I have one last question.

1811
00:57:28.820 --> 00:57:29.660
Yes.

1812
00:57:29.660 --> 00:57:31.220
When you were writing, when you're creating,

1813
00:57:31.220 --> 00:57:34.060
I read, this could be something that's wrong,

1814
00:57:34.060 --> 00:57:36.700
but I read that, because like when I'm creating, I got,

1815
00:57:36.700 --> 00:57:38.740
get on, shake the booty, get on, get on, get on.

1816
00:57:38.740 --> 00:57:40.140
Like it's like pump up, right?

1817
00:57:40.140 --> 00:57:40.980
Yes.

1818
00:57:40.980 --> 00:57:41.820
You listen to classical music.

1819
00:57:41.820 --> 00:57:44.220
Yeah, would you read that?

1820
00:57:44.220 --> 00:57:45.060
Glamour magazine.

1821
00:57:45.060 --> 00:57:45.900
That's true.

1822
00:57:45.900 --> 00:57:46.740
That's true.

1823
00:57:46.740 --> 00:57:47.580
Is that a pop quiz?

1824
00:57:47.580 --> 00:57:49.220
Maybe that's where I was at that time.

1825
00:57:49.220 --> 00:57:50.060
Yeah.

1826
00:57:50.060 --> 00:57:56.260
I've been very locked into early 2000s, like Yin-Yang Twins.

1827
00:57:56.260 --> 00:57:56.860
Yes.

1828
00:57:56.860 --> 00:58:00.060
For some reason, that's really been doing it for me lately.

1829
00:58:00.060 --> 00:58:01.860
Hello, I'm a level whispering.

1830
00:58:01.860 --> 00:58:05.260
Yin-Yang, like that era of them, Luda.

1831
00:58:05.260 --> 00:58:06.860
Does that manifest in your work?

1832
00:58:06.860 --> 00:58:07.860
No.

1833
00:58:07.860 --> 00:58:08.860
Does that energy?

1834
00:58:08.860 --> 00:58:09.860
Oh, no.

1835
00:58:09.860 --> 00:58:10.860
Is that?

1836
00:58:10.860 --> 00:58:11.860
Right?

1837
00:58:11.860 --> 00:58:12.860
No.

1838
00:58:12.860 --> 00:58:17.060
Oh, so because the beats were so fun and colorful.

1839
00:58:17.060 --> 00:58:18.460
It makes me stand on old.

1840
00:58:18.460 --> 00:58:22.140
But when I listen to the music of the younger people,

1841
00:58:22.140 --> 00:58:24.340
I'm just like, you guys are still not fun.

1842
00:58:24.340 --> 00:58:25.420
I don't need to have a good time.

1843
00:58:25.420 --> 00:58:26.420
It's not fun.

1844
00:58:26.420 --> 00:58:27.420
It's not fun.

1845
00:58:27.420 --> 00:58:28.420
There was a time.

1846
00:58:28.420 --> 00:58:30.420
I was just talking about this with a friend where, you know,

1847
00:58:30.420 --> 00:58:31.420
he didn't know this.

1848
00:58:31.420 --> 00:58:34.420
But Brittany crossed over with the Yin-Yang Twins.

1849
00:58:34.420 --> 00:58:35.420
I'm sorry.

1850
00:58:35.420 --> 00:58:37.220
Brittany had a song called, um...

1851
00:58:37.220 --> 00:58:38.260
Usually I'm a Brittany Spears.

1852
00:58:38.260 --> 00:58:39.260
Brittany Spears.

1853
00:58:39.260 --> 00:58:40.260
I got that.

1854
00:58:40.260 --> 00:58:42.260
I got that boom boom.

1855
00:58:42.260 --> 00:58:44.500
And that song, it kicks off with the Yin-Yang Twins, like,

1856
00:58:44.620 --> 00:58:48.220
and we fit to go to the glove and get crock with Brittany.

1857
00:58:48.220 --> 00:58:51.020
LAUGHTER

1858
00:58:51.020 --> 00:58:53.020
It was such a special time.

1859
00:58:53.020 --> 00:58:55.020
It was...

1860
00:58:55.020 --> 00:58:56.020
It was such...

1861
00:58:56.020 --> 00:58:59.020
Can you just imagine the Yin-Yang Twins and Brittany's like...

1862
00:58:59.020 --> 00:59:00.500
More than now than ever, actually.

1863
00:59:00.500 --> 00:59:02.500
Yeah, Brittany.

1864
00:59:02.500 --> 00:59:03.500
So...

1865
00:59:03.500 --> 00:59:05.820
But it was such a fun, you know, time.

1866
00:59:05.820 --> 00:59:09.300
And so, that's really inspiring, lately.

1867
00:59:09.300 --> 00:59:10.300
Can you imagine?

1868
00:59:10.300 --> 00:59:11.300
Yes.

1869
00:59:11.300 --> 00:59:12.300
I'm gonna just be here right now.

1870
00:59:12.300 --> 00:59:13.300
It's just so funny.

1871
00:59:13.300 --> 00:59:14.300
Without the knives.

1872
00:59:15.300 --> 00:59:16.300
Oh, with them.

1873
00:59:16.300 --> 00:59:17.980
I never had to do it with them, like,

1874
00:59:17.980 --> 00:59:19.820
they would have first seared with the knives.

1875
00:59:19.820 --> 00:59:21.820
No, but right, they would have...

1876
00:59:21.820 --> 00:59:23.820
I'm gonna break it.

1877
00:59:23.820 --> 00:59:24.820
I'm not gonna break it.

1878
00:59:24.820 --> 00:59:26.820
I'm gonna break it in her Brit, and it was, like, the first time

1879
00:59:26.820 --> 00:59:27.820
she'd ever been called Brit, or something.

1880
00:59:27.820 --> 00:59:28.820
Or something...

1881
00:59:28.820 --> 00:59:29.820
She was like, who?

1882
00:59:29.820 --> 00:59:30.820
Well, let's have a good time.

1883
00:59:30.820 --> 00:59:31.820
Let's play again.

1884
00:59:31.820 --> 00:59:32.820
Boom, baby.

1885
00:59:32.820 --> 00:59:34.820
I also watch, like, Joanna Man the other day.

1886
00:59:34.820 --> 00:59:36.820
I was like, we used to be so stupid.

1887
00:59:36.820 --> 00:59:39.820
Also, Joanna Man is one of the most ridiculous.

1888
00:59:39.820 --> 00:59:40.820
It's ridiculous.

1889
00:59:40.820 --> 00:59:41.820
I have ever...

1890
00:59:41.820 --> 00:59:42.820
It's literally...

1891
00:59:42.820 --> 00:59:44.420
my Republicans are afraid.

1892
00:59:44.420 --> 00:59:45.660
Yeah, no, I don't think so.

1893
00:59:45.660 --> 00:59:46.660
I said I was watching.

1894
00:59:46.660 --> 00:59:47.780
I'm like, I think this is the,

1895
00:59:47.780 --> 00:59:49.540
I think they thought this was a documentary.

1896
00:59:49.540 --> 00:59:51.540
Yes, I would have seen that while I was watching it.

1897
00:59:51.540 --> 00:59:52.540
Like this is a film.

1898
00:59:52.540 --> 00:59:54.300
Do you wanna man, what's a scripted film?

1899
00:59:54.300 --> 00:59:55.140
It was.

1900
00:59:55.140 --> 00:59:55.980
I love it.

1901
00:59:55.980 --> 00:59:56.820
I love it.

1902
00:59:56.820 --> 00:59:57.660
I love it.

1903
00:59:57.660 --> 01:00:06.700
So it's a game we call you know who.

1904
01:00:06.700 --> 01:00:08.660
You know who?

1905
01:00:08.660 --> 01:00:09.980
This would be a little graphic.

1906
01:00:09.980 --> 01:00:11.140
Oh.

1907
01:00:12.140 --> 01:00:15.620
And so you'll get two clues.

1908
01:00:15.620 --> 01:00:16.620
Okay.

1909
01:00:16.620 --> 01:00:18.740
We've got to find out what the common thread is

1910
01:00:18.740 --> 01:00:19.980
between these two clues.

1911
01:00:19.980 --> 01:00:20.980
Okay.

1912
01:00:20.980 --> 01:00:22.980
If we're stumped, we might get a third clue.

1913
01:00:22.980 --> 01:00:23.980
Okay.

1914
01:00:23.980 --> 01:00:24.980
All right.

1915
01:00:24.980 --> 01:00:25.980
All right.

1916
01:00:25.980 --> 01:00:26.980
Ready for the first one?

1917
01:00:26.980 --> 01:00:27.980
Let's do it.

1918
01:00:27.980 --> 01:00:28.980
Let's do it.

1919
01:00:28.980 --> 01:00:29.980
Weed glasses.

1920
01:00:29.980 --> 01:00:30.980
Weed glasses.

1921
01:00:30.980 --> 01:00:31.980
Okay.

1922
01:00:31.980 --> 01:00:32.980
Oh, that's weed and glasses.

1923
01:00:32.980 --> 01:00:33.980
Seth Rogen.

1924
01:00:33.980 --> 01:00:34.980
What?

1925
01:00:34.980 --> 01:00:38.980
Look, I'm still trying to get the rules, right?

1926
01:00:39.980 --> 01:00:41.460
Did you invent this game?

1927
01:00:41.460 --> 01:00:42.460
I did.

1928
01:00:42.460 --> 01:00:43.460
Yeah.

1929
01:00:43.460 --> 01:00:44.460
There we go.

1930
01:00:44.460 --> 01:00:45.460
Oh.

1931
01:00:45.460 --> 01:00:46.460
I love games.

1932
01:00:46.460 --> 01:00:48.460
Mom purple.

1933
01:00:48.460 --> 01:00:49.460
Mom purple.

1934
01:00:49.460 --> 01:00:50.460
Mom purple.

1935
01:00:50.460 --> 01:00:51.460
Mom purple.

1936
01:00:51.460 --> 01:00:52.460
Mom purple.

1937
01:00:52.460 --> 01:00:53.460
Okay.

1938
01:00:53.460 --> 01:00:55.460
Give us a third clue.

1939
01:00:55.460 --> 01:00:56.460
Cookie.

1940
01:00:56.460 --> 01:00:57.460
Oh.

1941
01:00:58.460 --> 01:00:59.460
Oh, no.

1942
01:00:59.460 --> 01:01:03.460
I may have guessed too soon.

1943
01:01:03.460 --> 01:01:04.460
No, no.

1944
01:01:04.460 --> 01:01:05.460
What were you gonna say?

1945
01:01:05.460 --> 01:01:06.460
Toad G. P. Henson.

1946
01:01:06.460 --> 01:01:07.460
The color purple.

1947
01:01:07.500 --> 01:01:09.060
I was like, does she wear a lot of purple?

1948
01:01:09.060 --> 01:01:10.060
Oh, yeah.

1949
01:01:10.060 --> 01:01:11.060
The color purple.

1950
01:01:11.060 --> 01:01:12.060
First of all, that's my mom.

1951
01:01:12.060 --> 01:01:13.060
Oh, I get it all down.

1952
01:01:13.060 --> 01:01:14.060
I'm like, yeah.

1953
01:01:14.060 --> 01:01:15.660
That's crazy.

1954
01:01:15.660 --> 01:01:16.660
Yeah.

1955
01:01:16.660 --> 01:01:17.860
Mom purple.

1956
01:01:17.860 --> 01:01:20.660
I'm thinking, who's ever played a purple mom?

1957
01:01:20.660 --> 01:01:21.660
Purple mom.

1958
01:01:21.660 --> 01:01:22.660
Purple mom.

1959
01:01:22.660 --> 01:01:25.540
Can we talk about Toad G. P. Henson?

1960
01:01:25.540 --> 01:01:26.860
Let me get this one on the board real quick.

1961
01:01:26.860 --> 01:01:27.860
Okay.

1962
01:01:27.860 --> 01:01:28.860
All right.

1963
01:01:28.860 --> 01:01:29.860
Yes.

1964
01:01:29.860 --> 01:01:30.860
Toad G.

1965
01:01:30.860 --> 01:01:33.060
What is the call like for you that you want Toad G

1966
01:01:33.060 --> 01:01:34.860
to come be a part of avid?

1967
01:01:34.860 --> 01:01:35.860
And to be your mom?

1968
01:01:35.860 --> 01:01:38.060
I really, really, when I was younger,

1969
01:01:38.060 --> 01:01:40.060
I really, really looked up to Toad G.

1970
01:01:40.060 --> 01:01:43.060
There's representation and then there's,

1971
01:01:43.060 --> 01:01:46.660
oh, I think this woman, like, I like her.

1972
01:01:46.660 --> 01:01:47.660
I think I look like her.

1973
01:01:47.660 --> 01:01:49.260
Like more than representation,

1974
01:01:49.260 --> 01:01:51.060
but more like she looked like my family,

1975
01:01:51.060 --> 01:01:52.260
like her and to me.

1976
01:01:52.260 --> 01:01:53.260
So random.

1977
01:01:53.260 --> 01:01:54.260
But she was in this video.

1978
01:01:54.260 --> 01:01:56.260
Testifies the common video.

1979
01:01:56.260 --> 01:01:58.260
She was like, and she's like,

1980
01:01:58.260 --> 01:01:59.260
that's my guy right there.

1981
01:01:59.260 --> 01:02:00.260
He knows what it is.

1982
01:02:00.260 --> 01:02:01.660
That's a good, that's it.

1983
01:02:01.660 --> 01:02:03.060
That video is for No.

1984
01:02:03.060 --> 01:02:04.060
I'm a pig.

1985
01:02:04.460 --> 01:02:06.460
That video went platinum in my house.

1986
01:02:06.460 --> 01:02:08.460
Like, I don't know why I loved it so much.

1987
01:02:08.460 --> 01:02:10.260
It was such a good story telling and I was like,

1988
01:02:10.260 --> 01:02:13.860
wow, Toad G's in this music video acting down too.

1989
01:02:13.860 --> 01:02:16.060
Like, I thought that was more impressive than her movies.

1990
01:02:16.060 --> 01:02:17.060
So I was a big fan.

1991
01:02:17.060 --> 01:02:20.060
And I think when we landed on the character first,

1992
01:02:20.060 --> 01:02:21.860
it was like, who can do this?

1993
01:02:21.860 --> 01:02:24.660
Who can give like, I don't know this edge that we want.

1994
01:02:24.660 --> 01:02:27.260
And Toad G's name came up and I said,

1995
01:02:27.260 --> 01:02:29.860
I'd be honored if she would do that.

1996
01:02:29.860 --> 01:02:33.460
So I think our casting director reached out to her agents

1997
01:02:33.460 --> 01:02:34.860
and she was in.

1998
01:02:34.860 --> 01:02:37.860
And I'm not sure that I had met Toad G before that.

1999
01:02:37.860 --> 01:02:38.860
No, I did.

2000
01:02:38.860 --> 01:02:40.860
I'm sorry, I did meet Toad G before that

2001
01:02:40.860 --> 01:02:42.860
and she told me that she loved the show

2002
01:02:42.860 --> 01:02:44.860
because she had educators in her family.

2003
01:02:44.860 --> 01:02:47.060
And she's not a Philly girl, but she's a DC girl.

2004
01:02:47.060 --> 01:02:49.060
So like, there was connection there.

2005
01:02:49.060 --> 01:02:50.660
How do you handle that now?

2006
01:02:50.660 --> 01:02:52.860
Because I have seen you out in public

2007
01:02:52.860 --> 01:02:57.260
and people will wait for the perfect opportunity

2008
01:02:57.260 --> 01:03:00.060
where you're least expecting someone to walk up on you

2009
01:03:00.060 --> 01:03:02.860
and be like, hey, so I was thinking of it.

2010
01:03:02.860 --> 01:03:04.860
I don't know, maybe if I want to do like a art teacher

2011
01:03:04.860 --> 01:03:05.860
so I can get it.

2012
01:03:05.860 --> 01:03:07.460
If you want to have like a, you know, after school program

2013
01:03:07.460 --> 01:03:09.860
where people like, I'd love to, you know, know, guess, roll.

2014
01:03:09.860 --> 01:03:11.460
It's always character first.

2015
01:03:11.460 --> 01:03:13.060
We just start writing out the characters

2016
01:03:13.060 --> 01:03:14.660
and then someone fits.

2017
01:03:14.660 --> 01:03:15.660
I don't know.

2018
01:03:15.660 --> 01:03:17.060
I think it's nice when people say I would love to be part of it

2019
01:03:17.060 --> 01:03:18.660
if you guys have anything.

2020
01:03:18.660 --> 01:03:19.460
Right.

2021
01:03:19.460 --> 01:03:20.460
And I love that.

2022
01:03:20.460 --> 01:03:22.460
But I don't necessarily love when people pitch me

2023
01:03:22.460 --> 01:03:23.460
their own.

2024
01:03:23.460 --> 01:03:25.060
Yeah.

2025
01:03:25.060 --> 01:03:25.860
Okay.

2026
01:03:25.860 --> 01:03:26.860
I don't necessarily.

2027
01:03:26.860 --> 01:03:29.860
What would you say?

2028
01:03:29.860 --> 01:03:32.060
Now that I have anything planned, that'd be weird.

2029
01:03:32.460 --> 01:03:33.260
Uh-oh.

2030
01:03:33.260 --> 01:03:34.460
Nice question.

2031
01:03:34.460 --> 01:03:36.060
White people.

2032
01:03:36.060 --> 01:03:36.660
Goofballs.

2033
01:03:36.660 --> 01:03:37.660
Goofballs.

2034
01:03:39.460 --> 01:03:40.160
White people.

2035
01:03:40.160 --> 01:03:40.660
Goofballs.

2036
01:03:40.660 --> 01:03:41.660
It's Tyler!

2037
01:03:41.660 --> 01:03:42.860
It is Tyler.

2038
01:03:42.860 --> 01:03:45.860
Dear white people, Gregory's Garden Goofballs.

2039
01:03:45.860 --> 01:03:48.060
Oh, sorry, I forgot to hit the buzzer.

2040
01:03:48.060 --> 01:03:49.460
Tyler.

2041
01:03:49.460 --> 01:03:50.260
Now I'm just kidding.

2042
01:03:50.260 --> 01:03:52.460
Everybody hates, yeah, I hate that.

2043
01:03:52.460 --> 01:03:53.460
You really did, though.

2044
01:03:53.460 --> 01:03:55.460
I gotta get my head in this game.

2045
01:03:55.460 --> 01:03:56.660
Okay.

2046
01:03:57.660 --> 01:03:58.860
Boxer.

2047
01:03:58.860 --> 01:04:01.260
Goofballs.

2048
01:04:01.260 --> 01:04:02.100
Michael B. Jordan.

2049
01:04:02.100 --> 01:04:05.620
Oh, these are slick.

2050
01:04:05.620 --> 01:04:06.740
That was good.

2051
01:04:06.740 --> 01:04:07.740
The best actor.

2052
01:04:07.740 --> 01:04:08.740
That's good.

2053
01:04:08.740 --> 01:04:10.940
My mind went to the dog like a boxer, the dog.

2054
01:04:10.940 --> 01:04:11.700
Okay.

2055
01:04:11.700 --> 01:04:12.940
You know, I was thinking of a guy.

2056
01:04:12.940 --> 01:04:14.180
Yeah, I didn't get all the toes on that one.

2057
01:04:14.180 --> 01:04:15.180
Yeah, you were on your toes.

2058
01:04:15.180 --> 01:04:16.180
Okay. Got a little competition.

2059
01:04:16.180 --> 01:04:17.180
Wait, don't forget to do your thing.

2060
01:04:17.180 --> 01:04:18.180
Oh, yeah, give me a minute.

2061
01:04:18.180 --> 01:04:19.340
We were talking about Seniors earlier.

2062
01:04:19.340 --> 01:04:20.180
Yes.

2063
01:04:20.180 --> 01:04:24.180
And what it will do for more art be created.

2064
01:04:24.180 --> 01:04:25.580
What I love about Michael B. Jordan

2065
01:04:25.580 --> 01:04:30.580
winning the best actor Oscar is what he will create.

2066
01:04:30.580 --> 01:04:33.940
As a result of now having these lanes opened up to him.

2067
01:04:33.940 --> 01:04:34.940
Totally.

2068
01:04:34.940 --> 01:04:35.940
Totally.

2069
01:04:35.940 --> 01:04:36.940
Yeah, absolutely.

2070
01:04:36.940 --> 01:04:43.540
Timmy Shalamay, when would have possibly created better roles for him, where with Michael

2071
01:04:43.540 --> 01:04:46.580
B. Jordan, it's going to create some industry.

2072
01:04:46.580 --> 01:04:47.620
That's an interesting distinction.

2073
01:04:47.620 --> 01:04:48.620
Do you know what I'm saying?

2074
01:04:48.620 --> 01:04:49.620
Totally.

2075
01:04:49.620 --> 01:04:52.940
I know I'm really happy for Michael.

2076
01:04:52.940 --> 01:04:59.380
I got to meet Michael through my friend's sterling years ago at a house party.

2077
01:04:59.380 --> 01:05:01.180
I love a house party.

2078
01:05:01.180 --> 01:05:02.180
And I do.

2079
01:05:02.180 --> 01:05:03.180
I love it.

2080
01:05:03.180 --> 01:05:04.180
Good to fucking know, Quentin.

2081
01:05:04.180 --> 01:05:05.180
I love a house party.

2082
01:05:05.180 --> 01:05:06.180
This is great.

2083
01:05:06.180 --> 01:05:09.100
But meeting him felt like just meeting a cousin.

2084
01:05:09.100 --> 01:05:10.780
He felt like a big cousin.

2085
01:05:10.780 --> 01:05:15.700
And I'm always going to root for someone who feels like a cousin that feels very good.

2086
01:05:15.700 --> 01:05:22.300
So to see someone who feels like a cousin and how they respond to the people around them,

2087
01:05:22.300 --> 01:05:23.900
make it this far.

2088
01:05:23.900 --> 01:05:29.260
I know that he will create more opportunity either by existing or through the projects

2089
01:05:29.260 --> 01:05:30.260
he does.

2090
01:05:30.260 --> 01:05:32.660
You know, because it's in his nature.

2091
01:05:32.660 --> 01:05:33.660
Palm Beach.

2092
01:05:33.660 --> 01:05:34.660
Ten years.

2093
01:05:34.660 --> 01:05:35.660
Oh, no, I got it.

2094
01:05:35.660 --> 01:05:36.660
It's a wig.

2095
01:05:36.660 --> 01:05:37.660
I got it.

2096
01:05:37.660 --> 01:05:38.660
You didn't do it.

2097
01:05:38.660 --> 01:05:39.660
I had it.

2098
01:05:39.660 --> 01:05:40.660
Oh, my God.

2099
01:05:40.660 --> 01:05:41.660
I had it.

2100
01:05:41.660 --> 01:05:42.660
I'm not good at the.

2101
01:05:42.660 --> 01:05:43.660
Okay.

2102
01:05:43.660 --> 01:05:44.660
Let me hold the buzzer.

2103
01:05:44.660 --> 01:05:45.660
That's how he.

2104
01:05:45.660 --> 01:05:46.660
Yeah, see?

2105
01:05:46.660 --> 01:05:47.660
You got to hold that.

2106
01:05:47.660 --> 01:05:48.660
Okay.

2107
01:05:48.660 --> 01:05:49.660
Can we?

2108
01:05:49.660 --> 01:05:50.660
I need more of that.

2109
01:05:50.660 --> 01:05:51.660
Chris and Wig.

2110
01:05:51.660 --> 01:05:52.660
Chris and Wig.

2111
01:05:52.660 --> 01:05:53.660
Listen.

2112
01:05:53.660 --> 01:05:54.660
I need Chris and Wig.

2113
01:05:54.660 --> 01:05:55.660
That's my girl.

2114
01:05:55.660 --> 01:05:56.660
That's my girl.

2115
01:05:56.660 --> 01:05:57.660
That's my girl.

2116
01:05:57.660 --> 01:05:58.660
What do we got to do?

2117
01:05:58.660 --> 01:06:01.380
Wig is the funniest person.

2118
01:06:01.380 --> 01:06:04.820
When she first stepped foot on the SNL, that was my favorite thing about watching SNL

2119
01:06:04.820 --> 01:06:06.100
when I was younger.

2120
01:06:06.100 --> 01:06:10.060
Someone would have their first sketch and you, it would be very clear.

2121
01:06:10.060 --> 01:06:11.060
This person is a...

2122
01:06:11.060 --> 01:06:12.060
They got it.

2123
01:06:12.060 --> 01:06:13.060
They got it.

2124
01:06:13.060 --> 01:06:16.220
They're a living, breathing, walking star and you could just see it.

2125
01:06:16.220 --> 01:06:17.220
And that's how I felt.

2126
01:06:17.220 --> 01:06:22.460
I'm a watching episode live and going, who the hell is this, like she's incredible.

2127
01:06:22.460 --> 01:06:23.460
And she's great.

2128
01:06:23.460 --> 01:06:24.460
I just like her.

2129
01:06:24.460 --> 01:06:25.460
She's a nice lady.

2130
01:06:25.460 --> 01:06:26.460
She's always nice to me.

2131
01:06:26.460 --> 01:06:27.460
She's always nice.

2132
01:06:27.660 --> 01:06:30.860
And like in spaces where I know I have ruined it.

2133
01:06:30.860 --> 01:06:32.860
Oh, what are you talking about?

2134
01:06:32.860 --> 01:06:36.460
You walk over so excited and I get too excited and sometimes you know.

2135
01:06:36.460 --> 01:06:37.460
I get that the other day.

2136
01:06:37.460 --> 01:06:38.460
I didn't say it.

2137
01:06:38.460 --> 01:06:41.460
I remained a pre and I was like, I just saw you with Steve Harvey.

2138
01:06:41.460 --> 01:06:42.460
I was like, why were you talking?

2139
01:06:42.460 --> 01:06:44.460
Why would you say that?

2140
01:06:44.460 --> 01:06:45.460
Why would you say that?

2141
01:06:45.460 --> 01:06:46.460
I said that to myself.

2142
01:06:46.460 --> 01:06:48.460
Why would you say you just saw him with Steve Harvey?

2143
01:06:48.460 --> 01:06:51.460
He did a million other things that are not the Steve Harvey show.

2144
01:06:51.460 --> 01:06:52.460
It was so dumb.

2145
01:06:52.460 --> 01:06:53.460
It was so.

2146
01:06:53.460 --> 01:06:54.460
I know.

2147
01:06:54.460 --> 01:06:55.460
I know.

2148
01:06:55.460 --> 01:06:56.460
It was so dumb.

2149
01:06:56.460 --> 01:06:58.460
I love to Erica by do reason.

2150
01:06:58.460 --> 01:07:00.460
I said, you are never going to remember this.

2151
01:07:00.460 --> 01:07:02.460
The sentence should have ended right before that.

2152
01:07:02.460 --> 01:07:03.460
Yeah.

2153
01:07:03.460 --> 01:07:06.460
If I'm going to walk up to you and say you will never remember this.

2154
01:07:06.460 --> 01:07:07.460
Right.

2155
01:07:07.460 --> 01:07:08.460
Why would you say that?

2156
01:07:08.460 --> 01:07:10.460
As soon as I said it, she said, oh, you ever seen that.

2157
01:07:10.460 --> 01:07:11.460
You ever seen that tattoo though?

2158
01:07:11.460 --> 01:07:12.460
No.

2159
01:07:12.460 --> 01:07:13.460
Rod Gritz.

2160
01:07:13.460 --> 01:07:14.460
No regrets.

2161
01:07:14.460 --> 01:07:15.460
I live by that.

2162
01:07:15.460 --> 01:07:19.460
You know, I'm talking about these nail ways of me.

2163
01:07:19.460 --> 01:07:20.460
No, Rod Gritz.

2164
01:07:20.460 --> 01:07:21.460
Yeah.

2165
01:07:21.460 --> 01:07:22.460
I don't know why, but someone got.

2166
01:07:22.460 --> 01:07:24.460
Is that like, you're the villain?

2167
01:07:24.460 --> 01:07:25.460
Is that like, you're the villain?

2168
01:07:25.460 --> 01:07:28.900
I feel like that's how I've decided to live life now.

2169
01:07:28.900 --> 01:07:30.140
Well, that's all accident.

2170
01:07:30.140 --> 01:07:31.780
I'm not doing the worst thing ever.

2171
01:07:31.780 --> 01:07:33.420
You know who's doing the worst thing?

2172
01:07:33.420 --> 01:07:34.820
Really, really bad people.

2173
01:07:34.820 --> 01:07:35.900
I'm just out here, kiddin'.

2174
01:07:35.900 --> 01:07:38.940
I'm just fumbling some interaction, you know what I'm saying?

2175
01:07:38.940 --> 01:07:40.460
But I'm still, but you live.

2176
01:07:40.460 --> 01:07:41.300
But you live.

2177
01:07:41.300 --> 01:07:42.140
You live to fight another day.

2178
01:07:42.140 --> 01:07:43.140
You live to fight another day.

2179
01:07:43.140 --> 01:07:44.220
Okay, here we go.

2180
01:07:44.220 --> 01:07:45.060
Wait, hold on.

2181
01:07:45.060 --> 01:07:46.420
I mean, I have to be fair, yeah.

2182
01:07:46.420 --> 01:07:48.140
Cause I like to win, but not.

2183
01:07:48.140 --> 01:07:48.980
Not by cheating.

2184
01:07:48.980 --> 01:07:49.820
Not by cheating.

2185
01:07:49.820 --> 01:07:51.220
Oh, God.

2186
01:07:51.220 --> 01:07:52.260
Pop, sorry, arrest it.

2187
01:07:52.260 --> 01:07:53.260
I'm just kidding.

2188
01:07:53.620 --> 01:07:54.620
Ah!

2189
01:07:54.620 --> 01:07:55.780
What the heck?

2190
01:07:55.780 --> 01:07:57.980
That's not what I mean.

2191
01:07:57.980 --> 01:07:59.540
No, that's not what I mean.

2192
01:07:59.540 --> 01:08:00.500
Wait, wait.

2193
01:08:00.500 --> 01:08:01.500
Is it not?

2194
01:08:01.500 --> 01:08:02.500
Oh, it's here.

2195
01:08:02.500 --> 01:08:03.500
Wait, wait, wait.

2196
01:08:03.500 --> 01:08:04.500
What else is it?

2197
01:08:04.500 --> 01:08:05.500
Wait.

2198
01:08:05.500 --> 01:08:06.500
Wait.

2199
01:08:06.500 --> 01:08:07.500
Ah!

2200
01:08:07.500 --> 01:08:08.500
No, no, no.

2201
01:08:08.500 --> 01:08:09.500
It's gotta be...

2202
01:08:09.500 --> 01:08:10.500
It's gotta be.

2203
01:08:10.500 --> 01:08:11.500
Pop star, arrested.

2204
01:08:11.500 --> 01:08:12.500
Pop star, arrested.

2205
01:08:12.500 --> 01:08:14.020
You sure it's not Justin Timberlake?

2206
01:08:14.020 --> 01:08:15.500
You sure it's Justin Timberlake?

2207
01:08:15.500 --> 01:08:16.500
You can say it.

2208
01:08:16.500 --> 01:08:17.500
You said you wish.

2209
01:08:17.500 --> 01:08:18.500
Is the housewife?

2210
01:08:18.500 --> 01:08:19.500
Maybe not Pop stars.

2211
01:08:19.500 --> 01:08:20.500
Let's get another clue.

2212
01:08:20.500 --> 01:08:21.500
Okay.

2213
01:08:21.500 --> 01:08:34.180
I'm so sure it right now. I can't believe I'm standing up one time my mom's

2214
01:08:34.180 --> 01:08:38.780
It was so funny. She stood up and she went oh did I stand up she

2215
01:08:38.780 --> 01:08:46.700
We're so sure that's my short girl right there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you were very tiny

2216
01:08:51.500 --> 01:09:00.520
I didn't realize she was arrested. No, she didn't arrest it. She arrests people at her

2217
01:09:00.520 --> 01:09:06.660
her concerts for being too hot. It's cute. That's crazy. Yeah, it's cute. That's

2218
01:09:06.660 --> 01:09:09.100
Miss Lee. Yeah, it was Miss Lee. That was a good one. Okay, here we go.

2219
01:09:09.100 --> 01:09:24.820
Bob Dylan. Bob and a singer.

2220
01:09:39.100 --> 01:09:41.500
Bob and a singer. Bob. She's got a Bob. Who's got a Bob?

2221
01:09:41.500 --> 01:09:47.860
Uh, Taylor. Uh, Bob. Uh, C.C. Y.N. is. Uh, Anita Baker.

2222
01:09:47.860 --> 01:09:51.460
A current Bob. Kelly Rowling.

2223
01:09:51.460 --> 01:10:00.020
Oh, I'm back. Anderson pack. Is it Anderson pack or is, uh, is

2224
01:10:00.020 --> 01:10:05.460
It's really good. This is why I'm a game night. It's normally not filmed. So

2225
01:10:05.460 --> 01:10:11.480
Oh, wait. So you went Quest love. I get a night. Yes. How did this start? We

2226
01:10:11.480 --> 01:10:16.580
got a house party. He was doing it in. He was doing it in New York. And then

2227
01:10:16.580 --> 01:10:20.660
when he wanted to do it in LA, he needed somebody with LA contacts. It doesn't

2228
01:10:20.660 --> 01:10:25.420
really like know the LA people like that. So I invited everyone that I know from

2229
01:10:25.420 --> 01:10:30.100
LA who are really cool and nice people. What kind of games do you play? Oh, you

2230
01:10:30.100 --> 01:10:35.420
name it. We got it. We've got Uno. We've got Scrabble. We've got Monopoly. We've

2231
01:10:35.420 --> 01:10:40.820
got the one with the operation. We've got operation, if you will. We've got. Also

2232
01:10:40.820 --> 01:10:44.900
known as also known as operation. We've got just straight up cards. Nailed the

2233
01:10:44.900 --> 01:10:50.540
space. The space table. I wasn't necessarily for that. It erupts into another

2234
01:10:50.540 --> 01:10:54.100
place. Yeah, but you know what? I think that's a testament to our party. It was

2235
01:10:54.100 --> 01:10:58.460
not. It didn't get heat. Nothing guy heated. He did. What's funny is at these

2236
01:10:58.460 --> 01:11:02.540
game nights so far, I don't even get to play games because I really focus on

2237
01:11:02.540 --> 01:11:06.220
being a host. I take that very seriously. If I'm hosting a party and my name is

2238
01:11:06.220 --> 01:11:09.700
on it, you know, I like to make sure everybody's having a good time. What is the

2239
01:11:09.700 --> 01:11:14.660
key to the the perfect game night aside from like good people? Good people

2240
01:11:14.660 --> 01:11:20.780
know I know. Good people's really key. Good snacks. Okay. A plethora of games. You

2241
01:11:20.780 --> 01:11:25.740
want different things that are four different people like just not having one

2242
01:11:25.740 --> 01:11:30.560
thing. Now I'll ask you a question about Uno. Yeah. House rules. If I have a

2243
01:11:30.560 --> 01:11:35.500
draw, if I lay down a draw for. Okay. Can I also lay down draw twos on top of

2244
01:11:35.500 --> 01:11:42.060
that? Yes. Yes. I'm all for stacking. I'm all for stacking. Do what you have to do?

2245
01:11:42.060 --> 01:11:45.580
Yes. Do what you got to do. Do what you got to do. Anything got to reverse? That's

2246
01:11:45.580 --> 01:11:49.820
the same color. I'm with it. I like the chaos. Chaos. This chaos and I think it's

2247
01:11:49.820 --> 01:11:53.900
fun. They called it Uno Extreme. Uno can get just as bad a spate sometimes.

2248
01:11:53.900 --> 01:11:56.300
You're not wrong. That's another reason I want to play. I don't want to get caught up

2249
01:11:56.300 --> 01:11:59.180
in everything I have to host. Have to make sure people have a good time. Right. And I

2250
01:11:59.180 --> 01:12:02.060
still want to talk to you tomorrow. Yeah. Exactly. And I'm a lady. I want to

2251
01:12:02.060 --> 01:12:08.220
I don't want to turn angry. Look at me now. I'm not. I'm hardly. I'm sorry.

2252
01:12:08.220 --> 01:12:23.260
It's a monster. Okay. I know it. Weird out. Daniel Radcliffe. Weird. He played

2253
01:12:23.260 --> 01:12:27.580
weird out in the weird out. Yankovic film was close. Which I was in by the way. Yes.

2254
01:12:27.580 --> 01:12:33.180
What I was saying. Oprah. Oprah Winfrey. Yeah. How come no one else is named anyone else

2255
01:12:33.180 --> 01:12:39.340
Oprah yet? Do you think there's another Beyonce out there? Sometimes people tell me they're

2256
01:12:39.340 --> 01:12:48.300
going to name their baby Quentin. I'm like, it's just like, whoa, man. Yeah. It's kind of like

2257
01:12:48.300 --> 01:12:55.660
that's crazy. I mean, we name it crazy or stuff. Yeah. My name means fifth. So it's like if

2258
01:12:55.660 --> 01:12:59.820
the kid is the fifth child, I think that works. So were your parents, would you say they're

2259
01:12:59.820 --> 01:13:05.980
literal people? I mean, I think they were surprised people. They didn't know that they were about

2260
01:13:05.980 --> 01:13:10.140
to have another child. And then they were like, God, Jesus Christ. Get the book open. They were like,

2261
01:13:10.140 --> 01:13:14.060
what are we? Flipping through. And they were like, five. That sounds good. And then they found

2262
01:13:14.060 --> 01:13:19.020
a pretty little name that meant five. It is a gorgeous name. Thanks. When you play Oprah. Yes.

2263
01:13:19.580 --> 01:13:26.220
Do you call Oprah? So for that, I did communicate with her just to let her know that it was happening.

2264
01:13:26.220 --> 01:13:31.340
And what did she say? She was excited and thrilled. She did an interview with Weird Al Yankovic

2265
01:13:31.340 --> 01:13:35.740
that this was based off of. Right. In this movie, I'm not sure if you've seen it was dumb.

2266
01:13:35.740 --> 01:13:39.740
It was supposed to be dumb. It was very silly. It was dumb as hell. I mean, it's a Weird Al.

2267
01:13:39.740 --> 01:13:46.060
Yes. So there was no, I wasn't supposed to be playing Oprah to the fullest degree. Daniel is,

2268
01:13:46.780 --> 01:13:52.780
you know, like, I don't know what Daniel's hide is, but Weird Al is about six four. So the whole

2269
01:13:52.780 --> 01:13:57.100
movie was just dumb for the sake of dumb. Right. And so I did communicate with her. And she was

2270
01:13:57.100 --> 01:14:01.580
okay with it, which as long as I had her blessing, that that made me happy. What I love is that you

2271
01:14:01.580 --> 01:14:05.820
have the kind of life where you're like, let me call her real quick and make it. Okay, let's see,

2272
01:14:05.820 --> 01:14:19.100
what's it like? Oh my god. Red, but not Oprah. Yes. Yes. Oh, man. We're back in the

2273
01:14:19.100 --> 01:14:24.300
ring. We had to happen. Did you really catch up to me? Yeah, girl. Okay. Oh, oh, oh, oh, my god.

2274
01:14:25.260 --> 01:14:34.220
It's like, Jenna Jackson, Michael Jackson. Jenna Jackson. Oh, I don't like to cheat neither,

2275
01:14:34.220 --> 01:14:40.940
but I do like to win. Oh, if you're nasty. These are really well done because I was thinking the recent

2276
01:14:40.940 --> 01:14:48.940
screen movie. Scream is one of my favorite music videos of all time. Of all time. Easily.

2277
01:14:48.940 --> 01:14:53.420
For a long time, it was the most expensive music video ever shot. Oh, yeah, was it? I believe that.

2278
01:14:53.420 --> 01:14:57.900
Most expensive music video ever shot. I revisited a lot. Same. At least four times a year.

2279
01:14:57.900 --> 01:15:02.460
Yes, same. That's so funny. Also, do you, I'm sure you've heard this. I don't know what you call it.

2280
01:15:02.460 --> 01:15:10.780
It's a thing where people are like, I don't, you know, identify as the gaze, but so many of my

2281
01:15:10.780 --> 01:15:16.380
traits and my friends are the gaze and the girls. And sometimes it's like, we just get together and

2282
01:15:16.380 --> 01:15:25.100
watch music videos. That's all we do. We just watch music videos. All of our faves and that's the

2283
01:15:25.100 --> 01:15:28.620
nights. It's like, oh, you came over here to watch something else, but actually we never were going to

2284
01:15:28.620 --> 01:15:34.220
watch videos. We were watching music videos. It's one hour in the morning and we're still watching

2285
01:15:34.220 --> 01:15:39.820
music videos and we let the algorithm take us sometimes. Sometimes someone has a specific one.

2286
01:15:39.820 --> 01:15:43.660
They want to watch. We let the algorithm take us from there. Yes, it's really my favorite past

2287
01:15:43.660 --> 01:15:50.460
time. One hundred percent. Do you like Zara Larsen? I have heard of her. I'm trying to understand.

2288
01:15:50.460 --> 01:15:55.980
I have heard of her. This is no shade. I might be into her, but I haven't tapped in yet.

2289
01:15:55.980 --> 01:16:02.060
Have heard of Zara Larsen. Yeah. I've also heard of the Zara Larsen and Tate McCray.

2290
01:16:02.060 --> 01:16:05.820
So Tate, I like because she throws the leg up in the air. I like when people dance.

2291
01:16:05.820 --> 01:16:11.180
I like an unexpected body situation. Yes, same. I like that. You never saw the leg coming.

2292
01:16:11.180 --> 01:16:14.780
You never saw the leg coming. And that's what I thought was her, but I'm looking for the good new

2293
01:16:14.780 --> 01:16:22.380
music videos. But I love to start with a scream, make my way over to where do I usually go from

2294
01:16:22.380 --> 01:16:26.140
there. It'll go pure Janet. You could also be on Janet for a while.

2295
01:16:26.140 --> 01:16:29.420
Yeah, you could be on Janet for a long time. I'm going to forget being on the Janet concert.

2296
01:16:29.420 --> 01:16:35.500
She did like a medley of like just the number ones, just number one hits. And she got maybe

2297
01:16:35.500 --> 01:16:42.540
through the 11th song and was like, that's a lot of hits. I love it. During the concert.

2298
01:16:42.540 --> 01:16:46.940
I love that. That's a lot of hits. And then I'll get into a missy Elliott video.

2299
01:16:47.420 --> 01:16:53.100
So that'll missy Luda. It will go there. And then something will happen. And the algorithm

2300
01:16:53.100 --> 01:16:58.140
takes me over to Psalm 41. And now I'm having fun with the white boys used to make music in their

2301
01:16:58.140 --> 01:17:03.980
garage. Yeah. Follow up, boy. Got me. Hello, come on. They used to be making music videos too.

2302
01:17:03.980 --> 01:17:08.780
Do you hear me? Yeah. Also, Nelly Fertado in the Timberland

2303
01:17:09.740 --> 01:17:17.900
situation. It's one of my favorite areas. Oh, I'm going to go home. I'm going to get some crab legs with some crystal hot sauce.

2304
01:17:17.900 --> 01:17:24.860
Make that salad dressing and watch music videos. Let's go. Yes. It's all come down to this.

2305
01:17:25.660 --> 01:17:33.500
My rotation. What? Inflatable. No, I don't care. No, no. No, what are we saying?

2306
01:17:33.500 --> 01:17:39.580
Inflatable. Blant. Blant. Blant. Blant rotation. Martha Stewart.

2307
01:17:42.940 --> 01:17:51.100
Painful. Inflatable. Okay. Blant rotation. Is my blant rotation? Did I speak of this blant rotation?

2308
01:17:52.060 --> 01:17:54.060
It's Quinta Branson. It's really Elliott.

2309
01:17:54.220 --> 01:18:05.100
Ah, one. Also, the fact that our conversation just went there. How about that? So many.

2310
01:18:05.100 --> 01:18:11.020
And that's the real one besides me winning. That's the real one. It's the beauty of the flow of where we

2311
01:18:11.020 --> 01:18:17.900
were. You know, it means we're really in sync, which is another great video run. You can do one

2312
01:18:17.980 --> 01:18:22.940
YouTube. It's good, right? Do you remember Naren's dance groups? Do I remember dance groups?

2313
01:18:22.940 --> 01:18:27.180
Dance groups. I also remember, do you remember hitting it? Hit it. Hit it. Hit it.

2314
01:18:28.060 --> 01:18:32.780
Now that's hip hop. Now that's hip hop. No, that's not hip hop. That's hip hop.

2315
01:18:34.700 --> 01:18:41.500
Hit it. Hit you all crew. This is my people. I love this. This is my people. I love this.

2316
01:18:41.500 --> 01:18:46.620
Hey, you're my people. It's so good. I'm so glad to see you. Thank you so much for doing this.

2317
01:18:46.620 --> 01:18:51.500
And I mean, I guess we were asking a question earlier if we were locked in. I think it's safe to say.

2318
01:18:51.500 --> 01:18:54.460
We locked in. We locked in. Let's go, baby.
