And on day number two, there is
a man with a prosthetic limb.
173
00:07:19,047 --> 00:07:20,477
Oh. Right.
174
00:07:20,527 --> 00:07:21,747
And -- And it's -- it's --
Right. Thanks!
175
00:07:21,789 --> 00:07:23,309
So, it's real.
It is real.
176
00:07:23,355 --> 00:07:25,045
It is very real.
177
00:07:25,096 --> 00:07:28,486
It's inspirational
as shit, okay? It is.
178
00:07:28,535 --> 00:07:31,485
It's so inspirational,
but, like,
179
00:07:31,538 --> 00:07:33,408
I could not make it
through the program, okay?
180
00:07:33,453 --> 00:07:36,673
Like, I got both my legs,
and I couldn't do it, okay?
181
00:07:36,717 --> 00:07:38,197
But this dude is fucking
killing it.
182
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,200
He's killing it.
But I'm on the floor, okay?
183
00:07:40,242 --> 00:07:41,722
I got my inhaler.
184
00:07:41,765 --> 00:07:43,065
I'm looking at pictures
of my grandma, like,
185
00:07:43,114 --> 00:07:45,644
"I'll see you soon,
Mee-maw," okay?
186
00:07:45,682 --> 00:07:47,162
[ Laughter ]
187
00:07:47,205 --> 00:07:49,115
But I'mma tell you this.
188
00:07:49,164 --> 00:07:50,564
When you have passed out
on the floor
189
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,170
and you have lost oxygen,
190
00:07:52,210 --> 00:07:54,390
it's amazing how clear life
becomes to you
191
00:07:54,430 --> 00:08:00,040
because that's when I realized
that fake legs don't get tired.
192
00:08:00,088 --> 00:08:03,868
So, that's how I got
my confidence back.
193
00:08:03,918 --> 00:08:07,838
So, I was like,
"In your face, P90X."
194
00:08:07,878 --> 00:08:11,188
[ Laughter ]
195
00:08:11,229 --> 00:08:14,149
I was born and raised
in Columbus, Georgia.
196
00:08:14,189 --> 00:08:15,539
My parents are still there.
197
00:08:15,582 --> 00:08:16,672
My sister's still there.
198
00:08:16,713 --> 00:08:18,063
The bulk of my family --
199
00:08:18,106 --> 00:08:20,716
Like, pretty much
everybody's in Georgia.
200
00:08:20,761 --> 00:08:23,071
I graduated from
the University of Georgia,
201
00:08:23,111 --> 00:08:25,681
and I thought
I was gonna be a dentist
202
00:08:25,722 --> 00:08:27,862
or an architect
or a psychologist.
203
00:08:27,898 --> 00:08:29,468
It felt like, "Oh, well,
this is the thing
204
00:08:29,509 --> 00:08:31,209
that you're supposed to be."
205
00:08:31,249 --> 00:08:33,859
But I always knew I kind of
wanted to do something creative.
206
00:08:33,904 --> 00:08:37,084
I wanted to try stand-up,
and one of my co-workers --
207
00:08:37,125 --> 00:08:39,295
I'm telling her, like,
"I'm gonna do comedy.
208
00:08:39,344 --> 00:08:41,004
I'm gonna go," and she's like,
"You should go!
209
00:08:41,042 --> 00:08:43,172
Go to the open mic!"
210
00:08:43,218 --> 00:08:44,918
The first time
I ever got onstage,
211
00:08:44,959 --> 00:08:49,049
it was in Athens, Georgia,
and it's still a blur.
212
00:08:49,093 --> 00:08:51,013
Like, I remember talking.
I remember people laughing.
213
00:08:51,052 --> 00:08:53,232
I remember thinking,
"I can't not do this.
214
00:08:53,271 --> 00:08:55,881
I have to do this."
215
00:08:55,926 --> 00:08:59,406
Early in comedy,
I was on the road a lot.
216
00:08:59,451 --> 00:09:01,191
I've performed at comedy clubs.
217
00:09:01,236 --> 00:09:03,406
I've performed at biker bars.
I've performed at colleges.
218
00:09:03,455 --> 00:09:05,625
I've done any and everything
you can --
219
00:09:05,675 --> 00:09:07,845
you can think of.
220
00:09:07,895 --> 00:09:10,155
Being a woman comic,
there's always that extra thing
221
00:09:10,201 --> 00:09:12,901
of having to --
to prove myself.
222
00:09:12,943 --> 00:09:15,903
People are like,
"You're a womandoing comedy."
223
00:09:15,946 --> 00:09:17,596
People would assume stuff like,
224
00:09:17,644 --> 00:09:20,604
"Oh, she must be the girlfriend
of some guy that's here.
225
00:09:20,647 --> 00:09:21,907
She's coming to support.
226
00:09:21,952 --> 00:09:24,092
Isn't she a good girlfriend?"
You know?
227
00:09:24,128 --> 00:09:26,478
I'll have people coming to me
after the shows and go,
228
00:09:26,522 --> 00:09:30,742
"I wasn't gonna come because
I saw your face on the website,
229
00:09:30,787 --> 00:09:32,877
but you were actually funny."
230
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,310
Sometimes with guy comics,
231
00:09:34,356 --> 00:09:36,176
they almost think
you're their assistant
232
00:09:36,227 --> 00:09:39,447
because you're a woman.
233
00:09:39,491 --> 00:09:41,931
Women comics get ignored
quite a bit
234
00:09:41,972 --> 00:09:44,242
'cause no one ever sees us,
you know?
235
00:09:44,279 --> 00:09:45,719
And on the inside,
I'm kind of like,
236
00:09:45,759 --> 00:09:47,539
"Well, why am I here?"
237
00:09:47,587 --> 00:09:53,327
So, it's -- it's tough to fight
through sometimes.
238
00:09:55,682 --> 00:09:56,902
Oh, man, listen.
239
00:09:56,944 --> 00:09:58,954
I'm so happy
'cause this is my job.
240
00:09:58,989 --> 00:10:00,379
Like, this is what I do.
241
00:10:00,425 --> 00:10:01,905
This is what I do, okay?
242
00:10:01,949 --> 00:10:03,779
[ Cheers and applause ]This is --
243
00:10:03,820 --> 00:10:05,650
It's exciting.
244
00:10:05,692 --> 00:10:08,562
And I get to travel so much.
245
00:10:08,608 --> 00:10:10,088
Like, I've been to some
cool places.
246
00:10:10,131 --> 00:10:12,701
Like, in the past year,
I've been to Jamaica.
247
00:10:12,742 --> 00:10:14,182
I went to Belize.
248
00:10:14,222 --> 00:10:16,182
I went to West Virginia.
249
00:10:16,224 --> 00:10:19,014
[ Laughter ]
250
00:10:19,053 --> 00:10:21,363
It is a hate crime
waiting to happen.
251
00:10:21,403 --> 00:10:24,063
I don't know if anybody's been.
252
00:10:24,101 --> 00:10:27,841
But, no, actually, I just spent
seven days in Alabama.
253
00:10:27,888 --> 00:10:30,498
[ Cheers and applause ]Thank you. Thank you!
254
00:10:30,542 --> 00:10:33,332
No, seven days in Alabama,
and I was really inspired.
255
00:10:33,371 --> 00:10:36,291
I wrote a screenplay
based on my experiences,
256
00:10:36,331 --> 00:10:38,511
and it's called
"One Week a Slave."
257
00:10:38,550 --> 00:10:40,810
So...[ Laughter ]
258
00:10:40,857 --> 00:10:44,337
This is the real reason
I did not like being there.
259
00:10:44,382 --> 00:10:47,472
I got pulled over twice
in three days.
260
00:10:47,516 --> 00:10:50,946
Twice. And people do not think
that profiling is real.
261
00:10:50,998 --> 00:10:53,478
I'm here to tell you the shit
is real, okay?
262
00:10:53,522 --> 00:10:55,132
So, like, the first time
I got pulled over,
263
00:10:55,176 --> 00:10:57,086
it was because
I hit somebody.
264
00:10:57,134 --> 00:10:59,704
So, you know, I was like, "Ha!"
265
00:10:59,746 --> 00:11:01,526
I was like, "I get it!"
266
00:11:01,573 --> 00:11:03,793
I was like, "Okay.
267
00:11:03,837 --> 00:11:05,667
Makes sense."
268
00:11:05,708 --> 00:11:07,318
I was like, "This dude is
just doing his job."
269
00:11:07,362 --> 00:11:09,542
You know what I'm saying?
270
00:11:09,581 --> 00:11:11,631
Like, 'cause apparently,
in Alabama,
271
00:11:11,671 --> 00:11:13,721
pedestrian lives matter.
272
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,020
[ Laughter ]
273
00:11:16,066 --> 00:11:18,846
Not to me, 'cause I hit people.
274
00:11:18,895 --> 00:11:23,545
But the second time,
it was for a bullshit reason.
275
00:11:23,595 --> 00:11:24,855
Like, I was in this neighborhood
276
00:11:24,901 --> 00:11:27,251
that had cars
and houses and yards,
277
00:11:27,295 --> 00:11:29,075
so I looked suspicious.
278
00:11:29,123 --> 00:11:32,743
And full disclosure --
279
00:11:32,779 --> 00:11:35,429
I drive a Toyota Camry, okay?
280
00:11:35,477 --> 00:11:38,127
And I've had nothing but
problems since I got the car.
281
00:11:38,175 --> 00:11:39,735
It's -- It's nothing mechanical.
282
00:11:39,786 --> 00:11:42,396
It's just that cops
don't think that it's mine.
283
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,620
So, like, and I've been
pulled over enough.
284
00:11:45,661 --> 00:11:47,231
Like, I know how
it's supposed to go.
285
00:11:47,271 --> 00:11:49,671
Like, they're supposed to ask
for your license
286
00:11:49,709 --> 00:11:52,489
and registration
before they shoot, but...
287
00:11:52,537 --> 00:11:54,757
[ Laughter ]
288
00:11:54,801 --> 00:11:58,111
What? Did I lie?
Did I? Okay. All right.
289
00:11:58,152 --> 00:11:59,762
So, but this is what
this dude said.
290
00:11:59,806 --> 00:12:04,586
He was like, "Is this your car?
291
00:12:04,636 --> 00:12:06,416
Is this yourcar?"
292
00:12:06,464 --> 00:12:07,904
And I was like,
"Who the fuck would lie
293
00:12:07,944 --> 00:12:11,474
about owning a Camry, okay?"
294
00:12:11,513 --> 00:12:12,783
I was like,
"Anybody can have one
295
00:12:12,819 --> 00:12:15,739
if you try hard enough,
all right?"
296
00:12:15,778 --> 00:12:19,698
Like, "This is the participation
trophy of cars, okay?"
297
00:12:19,739 --> 00:12:21,349
Like, they give these bitches
to everybody.
298
00:12:21,392 --> 00:12:24,402
You get this or a Honda Accord.
It's one of the two.
299
00:12:24,439 --> 00:12:29,749
Like, let me have my moment.
300
00:12:29,792 --> 00:12:31,582
What?
And I got offended.
301
00:12:31,620 --> 00:12:33,060
And so I was just like,
"Wow, like,
302
00:12:33,100 --> 00:12:34,930
this dude don't think
I can have anything."
303
00:12:34,971 --> 00:12:37,541
So, I kind of stepped outside
of myself, and I was just like,
304
00:12:37,582 --> 00:12:43,242
"Hey, listen, uh, bitch,
first of all,"
305
00:12:43,284 --> 00:12:46,944
I said,
"if I am guilty of anything,
306
00:12:46,983 --> 00:12:48,293
and that's anything at all,
307
00:12:48,332 --> 00:12:50,292
it's just being
a black woman in America
308
00:12:50,334 --> 00:12:53,084
who wanted great
miles per gallon on the highway.
309
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,470
So, that's why I got this car.
310
00:12:55,513 --> 00:12:59,303
So, you can kiss my ass."
311
00:12:59,343 --> 00:13:00,823
Okay, I didn't --
I didn't say that at all
312
00:13:00,867 --> 00:13:02,387
'cause there was nobody around
313
00:13:02,433 --> 00:13:04,483
with a cellphone
to record, so...
314
00:13:04,522 --> 00:13:09,352
You just got to pick and choose
your battles, all right?
315
00:13:09,397 --> 00:13:12,267
Now, I do love my car
because a few years ago,
316
00:13:12,313 --> 00:13:14,663
I got into a car accident,
and my car got totaled.
317
00:13:14,706 --> 00:13:16,396
But it was fine
because at the time,
318
00:13:16,447 --> 00:13:19,487
I ended up getting this
brand-new addiction to Vicodin.
319
00:13:19,537 --> 00:13:22,057
[ Laughter ]And, um...
320
00:13:25,717 --> 00:13:27,677
I -- Listen,
I didn't even drive anymore.
321
00:13:27,719 --> 00:13:29,109
I fucking floated, all right?
322
00:13:29,156 --> 00:13:31,586
Like, I just -- Hmm.
323
00:13:31,636 --> 00:13:32,856
I was like, "This feels good.
324
00:13:32,899 --> 00:13:35,679
This feels --
This feels right.
325
00:13:35,727 --> 00:13:37,427
Yeah.
I feel great.
326
00:13:37,468 --> 00:13:39,778
Mm. Mm."
327
00:13:39,819 --> 00:13:41,429
Like, I kept trying to get hit
328
00:13:41,472 --> 00:13:42,912
to keep my prescription
going, so...
329
00:13:42,952 --> 00:13:47,782
I was just --
You know what I'm saying.
330
00:13:47,827 --> 00:13:49,607
But this is what
I ended up buying.
331
00:13:49,654 --> 00:13:51,094
I actually bought at the time --
332
00:13:51,134 --> 00:13:54,534
I bought
a 2008 Saturn Mistake.
333
00:13:54,572 --> 00:13:58,712

334
00:13:58,750 --> 00:14:00,450
Are -- Is any --
Oh, you must be familiar.
335
00:14:00,491 --> 00:14:03,361
Okay.
All right.
336
00:14:03,407 --> 00:14:09,147
See, there was a time
where Saturns used to be cool.
337
00:14:09,196 --> 00:14:11,066
Like, they would meet in
the mountains of Tennessee.
338
00:14:11,111 --> 00:14:13,501
They would talk about the shit.
You know, it would be exciting.
339
00:14:13,548 --> 00:14:16,378
But then GM took over
production,
340
00:14:16,420 --> 00:14:18,380
and, like, they kind of
went down a little bit.
341
00:14:18,422 --> 00:14:19,992
But I will say this
about my car.
342
00:14:20,033 --> 00:14:21,383
It was beautiful.
343
00:14:21,425 --> 00:14:22,945
It had a sunroof.
344
00:14:22,992 --> 00:14:25,952
It had leather interior and this
light that would stay on
345
00:14:25,995 --> 00:14:27,945
to let me know
the engine was there.
346
00:14:27,997 --> 00:14:31,347
So, very fancy.
347
00:14:31,392 --> 00:14:33,922
Like, really, really fancy.
348
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,530
Right, yeah.
349
00:14:35,570 --> 00:14:37,440
Like, I would get in the car
sometimes.
350
00:14:37,485 --> 00:14:39,045
I would be like, "Who the fuck
took my engine?
351
00:14:39,095 --> 00:14:41,005
Like, where...?
352
00:14:41,054 --> 00:14:43,804
Where is it?
Like, who...took it?"
353
00:14:43,839 --> 00:14:45,709
But...
354
00:14:45,754 --> 00:14:47,324
Car kept breaking down.
355
00:14:47,364 --> 00:14:48,844
Like, it kept breaking down
on the highway,
356
00:14:48,888 --> 00:14:50,668
and I was like,
"Oh, shit. This is a defect.
357
00:14:50,715 --> 00:14:53,235
This is not a feature.
Okay."
358
00:14:53,283 --> 00:14:56,593
And I took it back
to the dealership,
359
00:14:56,634 --> 00:14:59,554
and I was like, "Hey, you know,
the car keeps shutting down."
360
00:14:59,594 --> 00:15:01,734
And they were like, "Oh, well,
that happens in newer cars.
361
00:15:01,770 --> 00:15:03,990
Like, if you don't turn
the gas cap
362
00:15:04,033 --> 00:15:05,643
tight enough, that'll happen."
They were like,
363
00:15:05,687 --> 00:15:07,427
"Did you click it once
or did you click it twice?"
364
00:15:07,471 --> 00:15:12,611
And I was like, "I don't know,
Glinda the Good Witch.
365
00:15:12,650 --> 00:15:15,260
If I click it three times
and say,
366
00:15:15,305 --> 00:15:17,565
'There's no place like home,'
will this bitch start working?
367
00:15:17,612 --> 00:15:19,662
'Cause you're a horrible
fucking mechanic,
368
00:15:19,701 --> 00:15:21,791
and that's horrible advice."

[ Laughter ]
370
00:15:26,708 --> 00:15:29,358
One of the things that happened
that kind of,
371
00:15:29,406 --> 00:15:31,186
I guess, turned the tide
for me a little bit
372
00:15:31,234 --> 00:15:36,204
is that I ended up
working with Amy Schumer.
373
00:15:36,239 --> 00:15:39,369
She is the biggest mentor
that I have in comedy.
374
00:15:39,416 --> 00:15:40,976
I actually met her
at the Punchline.
375
00:15:41,027 --> 00:15:43,117
Like, I was hosting for her,
376
00:15:43,159 --> 00:15:45,949
and we, you know, met,
we worked that whole weekend,
377
00:15:45,988 --> 00:15:47,988
and I remember her
saying to me -- she was like,
378
00:15:48,034 --> 00:15:49,914
"You really are a comic."
379
00:15:49,949 --> 00:15:51,429
It's a really
different experience
380
00:15:51,472 --> 00:15:53,782
when you work
with other women comics
381
00:15:53,822 --> 00:15:56,482
just because we understand
the challenges
382
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,040
that other people just --
383
00:15:58,087 --> 00:16:01,257
well, other people -- men --
don't understand.
384
00:16:01,308 --> 00:16:03,698
She's been really helpful
as far as, like, you know,
385
00:16:03,745 --> 00:16:05,005
introducing me to people
386
00:16:05,051 --> 00:16:06,751
and just, like,
looking over my set
387
00:16:06,791 --> 00:16:09,931
and if I'm about to do anything
or, like, if I'm gonna be
388
00:16:09,969 --> 00:16:12,319
on a show or just anything --
I'm gonna be in a festival.
389
00:16:12,362 --> 00:16:15,502
I'm like, "Hey, question.
What do you think about this?"
390
00:16:15,539 --> 00:16:16,889
Like, "What do you think
about that?"
391
00:16:16,932 --> 00:16:18,242
And there was so many things
392
00:16:18,281 --> 00:16:20,541
where I would
tell stories privately.
393
00:16:20,588 --> 00:16:23,458
She was like, "Why don't you
talk about thatonstage?"
394
00:16:23,504 --> 00:16:25,944
I'm like, "Huh.
You think that story is funny?"
395
00:16:25,985 --> 00:16:29,115
And then I would go, "You know
what? I'mma try it anyway."
396
00:16:29,162 --> 00:16:30,992
I realized the more I started
to talk about things
397
00:16:31,033 --> 00:16:33,043
that I feel
really passionate about
398
00:16:33,079 --> 00:16:35,039
or things that really,
really happened,
399
00:16:35,081 --> 00:16:36,911
the better my comedy got.
400
00:16:38,649 --> 00:16:40,299
It was something
about that switch.
401
00:16:40,347 --> 00:16:41,907
My confidence changed.
402
00:16:41,957 --> 00:16:44,437
Then I was just like,
"I can do whatever I want.
403
00:16:44,481 --> 00:16:45,831
I feel really empowered."
404
00:16:45,874 --> 00:16:47,964

One of my favorite things to
do -- I love going to Target.
407
00:16:53,229 --> 00:16:55,619
I went to Target recently,
and when I got to the register,
408
00:16:55,666 --> 00:16:58,626
the girl was like,
"Hey, you're a woman."

you're observant."

can I ask you a question?"

So, I'm thinking she's gonna
ask me, like,

00:17:06,155 --> 00:17:08,195
"Hey, where did you get
your hair attached?" but no.

00:17:08,244 --> 00:17:10,124
No.

00:17:10,159 --> 00:17:14,339
This grown woman,
dead-ass serious, was like,
416
00:17:14,381 --> 00:17:16,861
"How do you know
when you're ovulating?"

did not know the answer.

I should have been able

to tell her something,
