00:00:17,060 --> 00:00:18,670
KELSEY COOK: I just felt
like I had so many weird
3
00:00:18,801 --> 00:00:20,591
embarrassing things
happen growing up
4
00:00:20,716 --> 00:00:22,406
that I would then tell
my friends
5
00:00:22,544 --> 00:00:24,334
about and make them laugh.
6
00:00:24,459 --> 00:00:27,239
I think what started it
for me was masturbating
7
00:00:27,375 --> 00:00:28,635
with a manicure tool
and ending up
8
00:00:28,767 --> 00:00:29,857
in the emergency room.
9
00:00:29,986 --> 00:00:31,286
Man: [laughing]
10
00:00:31,422 --> 00:00:33,212
Stuff like that, that truly,
11
00:00:33,337 --> 00:00:35,207
at its core when it's happening,
12
00:00:35,339 --> 00:00:36,949
is like traumatizing.
13
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,600
To be able to take stories
like that,
14
00:00:39,735 --> 00:00:42,735
tell a friend about it
and laugh with them,
15
00:00:42,868 --> 00:00:44,128
yeah, it's a good feeling.
16
00:00:44,261 --> 00:00:46,091
[laughing]
17
00:00:48,004 --> 00:00:49,404
KIRY SHABAZZ: Me and my mom,
we're close enough.
18
00:00:49,527 --> 00:00:50,877
We keep in touch.
19
00:00:51,007 --> 00:00:53,267
Her addiction
was methamphetamine.
20
00:00:53,401 --> 00:00:55,881
It wasn't a really good
environment.
21
00:00:56,012 --> 00:00:57,712
So, my dad was, like,
let's bring them
22
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,360
to Cleveland and get them
out of California before,
23
00:01:00,495 --> 00:01:02,665
you know.
24
00:01:02,801 --> 00:01:06,591
I'm glad I dodged that bullet
because who would've known, man.
25
00:01:06,718 --> 00:01:07,758
I would've probably been,
you know,
26
00:01:07,893 --> 00:01:09,553
locked up in jail or dead,
27
00:01:09,678 --> 00:01:11,198
and I bring that shit
to my comedy.
28
00:01:11,332 --> 00:01:12,722
That's what I love about it.
29
00:01:14,726 --> 00:01:17,686
- Growing up,
I wanted a lot of security.
30
00:01:17,816 --> 00:01:19,596
I was gonna be a high school
math teacher
31
00:01:19,731 --> 00:01:21,731
at the high school I went to,
got about halfway through
32
00:01:21,864 --> 00:01:23,874
college with the math major
and was hating it.
33
00:01:23,996 --> 00:01:27,566
I took a public speaking course
and I kept turning
34
00:01:27,696 --> 00:01:31,126
my assignments into, like,
comedy skits.
35
00:01:31,265 --> 00:01:34,085
I was having so much fun
just being creative with it
36
00:01:34,224 --> 00:01:37,054
and my professor pulled me
aside and was like,
37
00:01:37,184 --> 00:01:39,584
"You need to do something
with this.
38
00:01:39,708 --> 00:01:42,748
You're good at it and there's--
there could be something here."
39
00:01:42,885 --> 00:01:45,835
[music]
40
00:01:53,809 --> 00:01:56,379
[laughter]
41
00:01:56,507 --> 00:01:57,857
Man: All right.
You guys were a lot of fun.
42
00:01:57,987 --> 00:01:59,947
You're in for a great night
of comedy.
43
00:02:00,076 --> 00:02:02,766
So, I'm gonna bring up
the next comedian.
44
00:02:02,905 --> 00:02:04,905
Ladies and gentlemen,
coming to the stage,
45
00:02:05,037 --> 00:02:06,467
Kelsey Cook.
46
00:02:06,604 --> 00:02:08,744
[cheers and applause]
47
00:02:08,867 --> 00:02:11,607
[music]
48
00:02:15,744 --> 00:02:18,014
KELSEY: What's up, you guys?
How we doing?
49
00:02:18,138 --> 00:02:19,918
- MAN: Great.
- KELSEY: You good?
50
00:02:20,052 --> 00:02:23,672
Oh, God. It is so nice
to not be performing
51
00:02:23,795 --> 00:02:24,925
in my living room.
[laughter]
52
00:02:25,057 --> 00:02:27,057
So nice.
53
00:02:27,190 --> 00:02:30,150
I've been doing a lot
of virtual shows on my laptop,
54
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,720
and I've had to use
my cat tree as a mic stand.
55
00:02:33,849 --> 00:02:35,499
It's been very bleak.
56
00:02:35,633 --> 00:02:38,033
Right before
my last virtual show,
57
00:02:38,158 --> 00:02:42,858
one of my cats puked two feet
from the stage.
58
00:02:42,988 --> 00:02:45,558
I was like,
"Well, my opening act sucks."
59
00:02:45,687 --> 00:02:46,947
What a gross bitch.
60
00:02:47,079 --> 00:02:48,989
This is terrible.
61
00:02:49,125 --> 00:02:51,995
Um, I feel like quarantine
has lasted so long.
62
00:02:52,128 --> 00:02:55,568
Do you guys remember
the toilet paper shortage?
63
00:02:55,697 --> 00:02:57,957
Doesn't that feel
like it was in '97?
64
00:02:58,090 --> 00:03:00,050
[laughter]
65
00:03:00,180 --> 00:03:03,230
Wow. I remember going into
CVS trying to find some
66
00:03:03,357 --> 00:03:06,137
and they were only giving out
individual rolls from behind
67
00:03:06,273 --> 00:03:08,933
the register
like they were bullets.
68
00:03:09,058 --> 00:03:11,498
[laughter]
69
00:03:11,626 --> 00:03:13,536
I just left that day
70
00:03:13,671 --> 00:03:16,501
with one roll of toilet paper
and a fifth of Tito's.
71
00:03:16,631 --> 00:03:19,371
Like "All right, 2020,
I'm just grabbing my ankles.
72
00:03:19,503 --> 00:03:21,073
Let's just do it."
73
00:03:21,201 --> 00:03:22,681
I've had a very weird year.
74
00:03:22,811 --> 00:03:26,551
I got divorced
a week before COVID hit.
75
00:03:26,684 --> 00:03:30,044
- Woo!
- Yeah. Anybody else?
76
00:03:30,166 --> 00:03:32,036
Didn't think so.
Yeah.
77
00:03:32,168 --> 00:03:34,648
Anybody gonna get divorced
by the end of quarantine?
78
00:03:34,779 --> 00:03:36,349
Probably.
Probably some of you.
79
00:03:36,477 --> 00:03:38,647
You know, it's okay, though.
80
00:03:38,783 --> 00:03:40,793
We still have a lot of love
and respect for each other.
81
00:03:40,916 --> 00:03:42,866
He's also a comedian.
82
00:03:43,005 --> 00:03:47,875
So, there weren't a lot
of assets to split up.
83
00:03:48,010 --> 00:03:50,450
Didn't have like a summerhouse
and a boat.
84
00:03:50,578 --> 00:03:55,368
It was like "Do you want
the 'Batman Begins' DVD?
85
00:03:55,496 --> 00:03:58,016
Who gets the good spatula?"
86
00:03:58,150 --> 00:03:59,370
You know.
87
00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:02,590
[laughter]
88
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,160
You know what I mean.
89
00:04:04,287 --> 00:04:06,637
There's only two,
and one of them's good.
90
00:04:06,768 --> 00:04:08,598
My ex-husband
and I are still friends,
91
00:04:08,726 --> 00:04:10,686
still have so much love
and respect for each other.
92
00:04:10,815 --> 00:04:12,245
We started dating when I was 22.
93
00:04:12,382 --> 00:04:15,522
We were together
for eight years and it's--
94
00:04:15,646 --> 00:04:17,866
I think almost impossible
when you start
95
00:04:17,996 --> 00:04:21,956
dating that young,
your 20s are just so,
96
00:04:22,087 --> 00:04:25,087
so much learning and changing
97
00:04:25,221 --> 00:04:27,921
and working through things
together that I think
98
00:04:28,050 --> 00:04:29,790
it's so different to meet
somebody when you're 22
99
00:04:29,921 --> 00:04:32,231
versus if you're, like, 32.
100
00:04:32,359 --> 00:04:36,009
But, yeah. I mean, again,
we have a ton of love
101
00:04:36,145 --> 00:04:38,495
and respect
for each other, so, yeah.
102
00:04:38,626 --> 00:04:40,276
Even though it's amicable,
103
00:04:40,410 --> 00:04:41,850
it's still super painful
to go through a separation
104
00:04:41,977 --> 00:04:44,277
especially during a pandemic.
105
00:04:44,414 --> 00:04:47,774
I felt like I was on some COVID
hidden camera show called
106
00:04:47,896 --> 00:04:52,676
like "Extreme Divorce"
Hosted by Guy Fieri,
107
00:04:52,814 --> 00:04:56,694
just a lot of flames and ranch.
108
00:04:56,818 --> 00:04:59,258
I liked being married, though.
I felt like I could relax.
109
00:04:59,386 --> 00:05:01,996
We were together
for a long time and my friends
110
00:05:02,127 --> 00:05:04,127
were always asking
like what our secret was.
111
00:05:04,260 --> 00:05:06,180
One of them was like,
112
00:05:06,306 --> 00:05:08,256
"So do you still wear
sexy lingerie for him or..."
113
00:05:08,395 --> 00:05:10,875
I was like "Not since
I got married, sucker.
114
00:05:11,006 --> 00:05:13,966
Ha, ha. I got him.
I am done trying.
115
00:05:14,096 --> 00:05:16,096
Yeah. Paid my dues
to get this promotion.
116
00:05:16,228 --> 00:05:18,098
All right?
117
00:05:18,230 --> 00:05:21,670
I've been running a BJ 5k
for the last seven years,
118
00:05:21,799 --> 00:05:23,109
and this ring
is the finish line.
119
00:05:23,235 --> 00:05:26,885
So gonna go pop champagne
and ice my jaw."
120
00:05:27,022 --> 00:05:28,632
Yeah.
121
00:05:28,763 --> 00:05:30,773
Uh-hmm.
122
00:05:30,895 --> 00:05:32,235
And I'm sure
some of you are like,
123
00:05:32,375 --> 00:05:34,935
"Well, that's why
you got divorced, bitch."
124
00:05:35,073 --> 00:05:36,473
But, no, you know,
I still blew him.
125
00:05:36,597 --> 00:05:37,467
I'm a nice lady.
126
00:05:37,598 --> 00:05:38,988
[laughter]
127
00:05:39,121 --> 00:05:40,601
Being single and, like,
128
00:05:40,731 --> 00:05:42,781
living alone
for the first time
129
00:05:42,907 --> 00:05:46,077
in eight years
during a quarantine,
130
00:05:46,215 --> 00:05:48,215
that was, to me,
131
00:05:48,348 --> 00:05:51,608
so incredibly difficult
because if you ever picture
132
00:05:51,742 --> 00:05:53,832
going through
a breakup divorce,
133
00:05:53,962 --> 00:05:56,012
there are kind of go-to things
you do, like,
134
00:05:56,138 --> 00:05:57,488
you might fly back home
and be with your family
135
00:05:57,618 --> 00:05:59,178
for a while.
136
00:05:59,315 --> 00:06:01,875
You might go on a trip
with your friends.
137
00:06:02,013 --> 00:06:06,193
I was quarantined, you know.
Our job was standup. It's done.
138
00:06:06,322 --> 00:06:11,152
So, it was like a lot of time
just with thoughts,
139
00:06:11,283 --> 00:06:14,903
thoughts and trying
to work through it,
140
00:06:15,026 --> 00:06:17,856
which maybe that's a good thing
'cause I know some people
141
00:06:17,986 --> 00:06:22,026
can use distractions
to just not process the pain
142
00:06:22,164 --> 00:06:24,914
or the emotion of it and I--
at least I can tell myself
143
00:06:25,036 --> 00:06:27,996
I really spent
the time processing
144
00:06:28,126 --> 00:06:29,646
through all that
'cause I couldn't just jump
145
00:06:29,780 --> 00:06:32,220
on a plane
and go perform somewhere.
146
00:06:32,348 --> 00:06:34,698
You guys been drinking
during quarantine?
147
00:06:34,829 --> 00:06:36,399
- Yeah.
- WOMAN: Yeah.
148
00:06:36,526 --> 00:06:37,786
Some of my friends
got sober during quarantine.
149
00:06:37,919 --> 00:06:40,099
I'm like "Blegh, what a bummer.
150
00:06:40,225 --> 00:06:43,485
Can't have that energy
in my life right now.
151
00:06:43,620 --> 00:06:45,230
Blegh."
152
00:06:45,361 --> 00:06:48,191
I decided to take
the AA quiz out of curiosity.
153
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,670
It turns out it makes
everybody sound
154
00:06:50,801 --> 00:06:53,721
like they have
a drinking problem.
155
00:06:53,848 --> 00:06:55,148
The first question
is, "Have you ever used
156
00:06:55,284 --> 00:06:56,944
alcohol to alter your mood?"
157
00:06:58,853 --> 00:07:03,033
Is there any other reason
to drink alcohol?
158
00:07:03,161 --> 00:07:05,641
Like, no, I'm in it
for the acne and diarrhea.
159
00:07:07,905 --> 00:07:09,685
Just, like, ruin an underwear.
160
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,870
The second question is,
"After consuming alcohol,
161
00:07:14,999 --> 00:07:18,789
have you ever done something
you've regretted?"
162
00:07:18,916 --> 00:07:21,266
Do you mean literally
every time I've had alcohol?
163
00:07:21,397 --> 00:07:24,487
Who's getting drunk
and doing the Lord's work?
164
00:07:25,967 --> 00:07:27,967
I've never had five margaritas
and been like, "All right.
165
00:07:28,099 --> 00:07:29,449
Time to donate blood.
166
00:07:31,233 --> 00:07:34,893
I'm gonna pass this party
to someone in need."
167
00:07:35,019 --> 00:07:37,329
My biggest regrets
stem from alcohol.
168
00:07:37,457 --> 00:07:39,327
When I was in college,
I used to take shots of gin
169
00:07:39,459 --> 00:07:41,459
and chased them with deli meat.
170
00:07:43,941 --> 00:07:45,251
Yeah.
You know you're white trash
171
00:07:45,377 --> 00:07:48,117
when your cocktails involve ham.
172
00:07:48,250 --> 00:07:49,990
Not a good look.
173
00:07:50,121 --> 00:07:51,211
But I feel like
if you're broke in college,
174
00:07:51,340 --> 00:07:52,990
you form weird habits like that.
175
00:07:53,124 --> 00:07:54,784
If you don't have a dishwasher,
you try and cook
176
00:07:54,909 --> 00:07:56,349
using
as few dishes as possible.
177
00:07:56,476 --> 00:07:57,646
I don't know
if you guys do this.
178
00:07:57,781 --> 00:07:59,741
If you want banana
on your cereal
179
00:07:59,870 --> 00:08:01,350
but you don't wanna get
a knife dirty,
180
00:08:01,481 --> 00:08:02,311
do you ever just tear
pieces off with your teeth
181
00:08:02,438 --> 00:08:03,918
and then [makes sound]
182
00:08:04,048 --> 00:08:07,048
[laughter]
183
00:08:09,053 --> 00:08:10,363
Wow.
184
00:08:10,490 --> 00:08:13,060
A lot of you did that today.
185
00:08:13,188 --> 00:08:14,228
I didn't even know
that was weird
186
00:08:14,363 --> 00:08:16,843
until my ex caught me doing it
187
00:08:16,974 --> 00:08:19,804
and was like, "Are you momma
birding yourself?"
188
00:08:19,934 --> 00:08:22,814
[laughter]
189
00:08:22,937 --> 00:08:25,937
We're poor, not Amish.
Please stop.
190
00:08:26,070 --> 00:08:27,860
I tried to avoid doing
the whole, like,
191
00:08:27,985 --> 00:08:29,805
post breakup identity crisis.
192
00:08:29,944 --> 00:08:31,294
One of my friends
went through a breakup,
193
00:08:31,423 --> 00:08:33,123
and she got this dramatic
haircut afterward
194
00:08:33,251 --> 00:08:35,251
as like a revenge move
against her ex.
195
00:08:35,384 --> 00:08:37,304
She's like, "If he sees me,
196
00:08:37,429 --> 00:08:39,649
he's gonna know he missed out
on this whole other me."
197
00:08:39,780 --> 00:08:41,260
[laughing]
198
00:08:41,390 --> 00:08:42,740
Like a guy has ever seen
a haircut and gone
199
00:08:42,870 --> 00:08:45,090
"[scoffs] Well,
I never got to fuck
200
00:08:45,220 --> 00:08:47,530
asymmetrical lob Lisa."
201
00:08:51,226 --> 00:08:53,746
Before COVID, I was on a flight
202
00:08:53,881 --> 00:08:56,321
and sitting next
to this very old man,
203
00:08:56,448 --> 00:08:58,888
and I had my notebook out,
and he leans over and goes,
204
00:08:59,016 --> 00:09:01,886
"It's nice to see somebody
writing and not on their phone."
205
00:09:02,019 --> 00:09:03,799
And I was like "Oh,
206
00:09:03,934 --> 00:09:05,334
he doesn't know
I'm writing jokes about cum."
207
00:09:05,457 --> 00:09:09,677
[laughing]
208
00:09:09,810 --> 00:09:11,810
Oh, I was like "Suddenly,
209
00:09:11,942 --> 00:09:14,422
"Candy Crush" doesn't seem
so bad, huh, Wendell?"
210
00:09:14,554 --> 00:09:18,044
I booped him on the nose.
You'll love that, Wendell.
211
00:09:19,820 --> 00:09:21,910
My ex and I were together
212
00:09:22,039 --> 00:09:24,389
for eight years and people
always tell you to, like,
213
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,830
keep spicing things up,
but I feel like I tried
214
00:09:26,957 --> 00:09:29,127
everything I wanted to try
with him. You know?
215
00:09:29,264 --> 00:09:31,754
Like the reason
I hadn't eaten his ass
216
00:09:31,875 --> 00:09:33,525
wasn't 'cause I was saving it
217
00:09:33,660 --> 00:09:36,400
as a special 10-year
anniversary treat. Right?
218
00:09:36,532 --> 00:09:39,142
It's 'cause I was never
gonna eat his ass.
219
00:09:39,274 --> 00:09:41,284
Not with a gun to my head.
220
00:09:41,406 --> 00:09:43,016
And I loved him very much,
but he was like
221
00:09:43,147 --> 00:09:45,847
a real blue-collar asshole.
222
00:09:45,976 --> 00:09:47,936
You mean,
like not a lot of maintenance
223
00:09:48,065 --> 00:09:50,285
going on back there.
And I took a peek back there.
224
00:09:50,415 --> 00:09:52,585
it was like the crack
between two couch cushions,
225
00:09:52,722 --> 00:09:56,772
just like goldfish crackers
and part of a broken
226
00:09:56,900 --> 00:09:58,860
Christmas ornament.
227
00:09:58,989 --> 00:10:01,079
It's a choking hazard frankly.
228
00:10:01,209 --> 00:10:02,209
I'm not gonna swallow
a paperclip
229
00:10:02,340 --> 00:10:03,250
so you can cum anyway.
230
00:10:03,385 --> 00:10:05,205
[laughter]
231
00:10:05,343 --> 00:10:07,043
We felt like
we knew everything
232
00:10:07,171 --> 00:10:09,091
there was to know
about each other,
233
00:10:09,217 --> 00:10:10,997
but there was one thing
he didn't know, and I told him.
234
00:10:11,132 --> 00:10:14,142
I said that, you know,
sometimes I pee in the shower,
235
00:10:14,265 --> 00:10:17,435
and by sometimes
I mean every time.
236
00:10:17,573 --> 00:10:19,753
And don't you all act
like you don't do it, too.
237
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,530
We are all swamp monsters.
238
00:10:21,664 --> 00:10:23,234
There is no drug
in the history of time
239
00:10:23,361 --> 00:10:24,751
with a higher addiction
rate than peeing
240
00:10:24,885 --> 00:10:26,405
in the shower, right?
241
00:10:26,538 --> 00:10:27,838
Like, you think
you're better than that?
242
00:10:27,975 --> 00:10:29,365
You think you're above doing it?
243
00:10:29,498 --> 00:10:31,328
And then you let yourself
do it one time,
244
00:10:31,456 --> 00:10:32,806
and you're, like,
"Well, I guess I'm doing this
245
00:10:32,936 --> 00:10:35,766
every day
for the rest of my life."
246
00:10:35,896 --> 00:10:37,456
It is the best.
247
00:10:37,593 --> 00:10:39,253
And I thought he and I
were gonna bond over it,
248
00:10:39,377 --> 00:10:41,727
and instead he was like
"What?
249
00:10:41,858 --> 00:10:44,248
Ugh, gross.
250
00:10:44,382 --> 00:10:46,212
That means every time I shower,
251
00:10:46,341 --> 00:10:48,951
I've just been standing
in your pee."
252
00:10:49,083 --> 00:10:51,173
I was like, "I do it
while I'm showering,
253
00:10:51,302 --> 00:10:53,962
like, the water takes it down
the drain immediately.
254
00:10:54,088 --> 00:10:56,918
You're acting like I walk
into the bathroom,
255
00:10:57,047 --> 00:10:59,657
drop my pants,
stand in the shower,
256
00:10:59,789 --> 00:11:02,789
and just piss on dry porcelain
like a serial killer."
257
00:11:02,923 --> 00:11:07,933
[laughter]
258
00:11:08,058 --> 00:11:11,238
And then get out,
put my pants back on,
259
00:11:11,366 --> 00:11:14,976
and just leave you a puddle
of urine like a feral cat."
260
00:11:18,068 --> 00:11:19,458
I wanted to start peeing
on his pillow to give him
261
00:11:19,591 --> 00:11:21,901
some real problems.
262
00:11:22,029 --> 00:11:23,599
By the way,
is there a clearer sign
263
00:11:23,726 --> 00:11:25,506
of how disgusting humans
are than when you see
264
00:11:25,641 --> 00:11:27,431
your pillow
without a pillowcase on it?
265
00:11:27,556 --> 00:11:29,336
[blows]
266
00:11:29,471 --> 00:11:31,911
What a crime scene.
I saw mine recently.
267
00:11:32,039 --> 00:11:34,039
I was like,
"Have I been sleepwalking
268
00:11:34,171 --> 00:11:38,921
and using my pillow to clean
the toilet for 30 years?"
269
00:11:39,046 --> 00:11:40,826
It's all these horrifying
stains. I'm like,
270
00:11:40,961 --> 00:11:43,701
"Do I sweat gasoline?"
271
00:11:43,833 --> 00:11:45,143
It's like a tooth fairy
gave birth under here.
272
00:11:45,269 --> 00:11:46,969
What happened?
273
00:11:47,097 --> 00:11:49,317
We have such a weird attitude
towards pillows.
274
00:11:49,447 --> 00:11:51,577
They cost like 10 bucks,
but we all keep
275
00:11:51,711 --> 00:11:54,931
the same gross pillows
for decades,
276
00:11:55,062 --> 00:11:58,282
like it's the Great Depression.
277
00:11:58,413 --> 00:12:00,113
Like where some
old prospects were like
278
00:12:00,241 --> 00:12:02,071
"Well, this here is the pillow
279
00:12:02,199 --> 00:12:03,549
they gave me at the orphanage,
and I'll be goddamned
280
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:04,989
if this ain't the same pillow
I die with."
281
00:12:05,115 --> 00:12:08,505
[laughter]
282
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,560
My mom's been giving me
some career advice lately,
283
00:12:11,687 --> 00:12:14,037
and if you're wondering
how helpful it is,
284
00:12:14,168 --> 00:12:16,738
she's a retired
high school German teacher
285
00:12:16,866 --> 00:12:19,216
who watches a lot
of "Dancing With the Stars."
286
00:12:19,347 --> 00:12:21,347
So, she's basically
a casting director.
287
00:12:21,479 --> 00:12:23,529
[laughter]
288
00:12:23,655 --> 00:12:25,955
She doesn't understand
that there are different levels
289
00:12:26,093 --> 00:12:27,663
of fame in comedy.
290
00:12:27,790 --> 00:12:30,230
She thinks we're just all
at the same place.
291
00:12:30,358 --> 00:12:32,708
She goes, "Why don't you call
Jerry Seinfeld
292
00:12:32,839 --> 00:12:34,839
and ask to do 'Comedians
in Cars Getting Coffee'?"
293
00:12:34,971 --> 00:12:37,101
[laughter]
294
00:12:37,234 --> 00:12:41,944
Why don't I call up Jerr Bear
to grab a cup of Joe.
295
00:12:42,065 --> 00:12:43,545
This is where my career is at.
296
00:12:43,675 --> 00:12:47,105
I have a foosball
web series on YouTube, okay?
297
00:12:47,244 --> 00:12:49,294
That's where I am.
298
00:12:49,420 --> 00:12:51,210
She heard that and goes,
299
00:12:51,335 --> 00:12:53,985
"You know who I bet
would love to do your show?
300
00:12:54,121 --> 00:12:55,081
Ellen DeGeneres."
301
00:12:55,209 --> 00:12:58,039
[laughter]
302
00:12:58,168 --> 00:13:00,038
You bet, huh?
303
00:13:00,170 --> 00:13:01,430
Well, let's put
some money on it
304
00:13:01,563 --> 00:13:03,653
'cause I between
she fucking wouldn't.
305
00:13:03,783 --> 00:13:05,263
If I win,
you have to let me back
306
00:13:05,393 --> 00:13:06,613
on your cell phone plan.
307
00:13:06,742 --> 00:13:08,442
These are tough times.
308
00:13:08,570 --> 00:13:10,790
My parents met playing
professional foosball.
309
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,840
So, I wouldn't exist
if it weren't for foosball.
310
00:13:13,967 --> 00:13:17,577
There are pictures of me playing
when I'm two years old,
311
00:13:17,709 --> 00:13:19,619
standing on a stool
to be tall enough to see
312
00:13:19,755 --> 00:13:21,665
the top of the table.
313
00:13:21,801 --> 00:13:23,631
My mom has, like, her masters
in French Literature.
314
00:13:23,759 --> 00:13:25,849
She's this, like, brilliant,
super interesting woman,
315
00:13:25,979 --> 00:13:29,499
Hall of Fame foosball player.
For sure without fail,
316
00:13:29,634 --> 00:13:31,774
We get paired up
against each other
317
00:13:31,898 --> 00:13:34,158
every tournament
in the women's singles event.
318
00:13:34,291 --> 00:13:35,601
It doesn't matter how
many women are in the bracket.
319
00:13:35,727 --> 00:13:38,077
Somehow with the draw,
she and I always
320
00:13:38,208 --> 00:13:40,338
end up playing each other,
and it kind of sucks
321
00:13:40,471 --> 00:13:42,601
either way 'cause it's, like,
if I beat her,
322
00:13:42,734 --> 00:13:45,224
then I'm like,
"I just beat my mom."
323
00:13:45,346 --> 00:13:47,696
But if she beats me, I'm like,
"Fuck. My mom just beat me."
324
00:13:47,827 --> 00:13:50,867
Like, you know, it's like
[makes sound] you know.
325
00:13:51,004 --> 00:13:54,094
My friend Brad told me
that my celebrity lookalike
326
00:13:54,224 --> 00:13:56,494
is this porn star
named Jessie Rogers.
327
00:13:56,618 --> 00:13:59,318
So I googled her,
and the first picture
328
00:13:59,447 --> 00:14:03,057
that popped up
was her doing hardcore anal.
329
00:14:03,190 --> 00:14:04,890
And I got a little creeped out,
330
00:14:05,018 --> 00:14:08,458
realizing that my friend
Brad saw that and thought...
331
00:14:08,586 --> 00:14:13,106
[laughter]
332
00:14:13,243 --> 00:14:15,683
"You know who
this reminds me of?
333
00:14:15,811 --> 00:14:19,551
The old gaping
butthole Kelsey-roo.
334
00:14:19,684 --> 00:14:21,084
A little backdoor cook.
335
00:14:21,208 --> 00:14:25,168
Look at her go.
A-plus. Good stuff.
336
00:14:26,691 --> 00:14:29,561
It's so weird to tell that joke
live again, by the way,
337
00:14:29,694 --> 00:14:31,654
because I've been telling
it on virtual shows,
338
00:14:31,783 --> 00:14:33,663
and knowing that halfway
through the joke,
339
00:14:33,785 --> 00:14:36,005
all the dudes just opened
a new browser.
340
00:14:36,136 --> 00:14:37,616
[chuckles]
341
00:14:40,531 --> 00:14:44,321
A lot of sticky keyboards
by the end of those shows.
342
00:14:44,448 --> 00:14:47,578
Honestly, I prefer it that way
because sometimes at live shows,
343
00:14:47,712 --> 00:14:51,412
I'll be like, in the merch table
and a dude will just come up
344
00:14:51,542 --> 00:14:53,202
with their phone in hand
and be like,
345
00:14:53,327 --> 00:14:55,197
"What was the name
of that porn star you say?"
346
00:14:55,329 --> 00:14:56,719
I'm like, "Can't you wait
to the parking lot
347
00:14:56,852 --> 00:14:58,382
to get your dick out?
Jesus Christ.
348
00:14:58,506 --> 00:15:01,336
you can take a beat.
349
00:15:01,465 --> 00:15:04,895
So my ex and I didn't buy
any sex toys
350
00:15:05,034 --> 00:15:08,434
until, like, seven years
into the relationship.
351
00:15:08,559 --> 00:15:11,609
Just crazy, we've just been
Flintstone-ing that shit.
352
00:15:11,736 --> 00:15:13,996
This is very
"Little House on the Prairie."
353
00:15:16,219 --> 00:15:17,959
And so one night,
354
00:15:18,091 --> 00:15:20,441
I went on the Adam & Eve website
and I was looking around.
355
00:15:20,571 --> 00:15:23,051
I ended up buying one of those,
like, vibrating wand things,
356
00:15:23,183 --> 00:15:24,843
and I gotta be honest,
357
00:15:24,967 --> 00:15:26,187
I don't like it.
It's way too intense for me.
358
00:15:26,316 --> 00:15:27,706
Even on the lowest setting,
359
00:15:27,839 --> 00:15:30,319
this thing is,
like, for blasting rocks.
360
00:15:30,451 --> 00:15:32,931
Is this what you women
have been using the whole time?
361
00:15:33,062 --> 00:15:34,762
Oh, my God, I barely
touched it to my body,
362
00:15:34,890 --> 00:15:37,410
my feet lifted off the ground.
363
00:15:38,589 --> 00:15:41,029
I took flight.
- [laughter]
364
00:15:41,157 --> 00:15:42,767
I was terrified.
365
00:15:42,898 --> 00:15:44,378
I was like, "Did I just
puree my clit?
366
00:15:44,508 --> 00:15:46,288
Oh, my God."
367
00:15:46,423 --> 00:15:48,903
This thing is
for industrial kitchens, okay?
368
00:15:49,035 --> 00:15:51,595
It is not for liquefying
raw vegetables.
369
00:15:51,733 --> 00:15:53,523
It is not for your genitals.
370
00:15:53,648 --> 00:15:55,258
And I asked
some of my friends
371
00:15:55,389 --> 00:15:57,739
about this toy,
and it turns out,
372
00:15:57,869 --> 00:16:00,219
they use it
on the highest setting
373
00:16:00,350 --> 00:16:01,960
in order to have an orgasm.
374
00:16:02,091 --> 00:16:03,701
I was like, "How come you've not
completely erased
375
00:16:03,832 --> 00:16:06,012
your vagina at this point?
376
00:16:06,139 --> 00:16:09,579
Just sanding it down
to a smooth slab of granite."
377
00:16:09,707 --> 00:16:12,617
Barbie crotch, you know?
You can go bowling on it.
378
00:16:14,147 --> 00:16:17,367
And the craziest part
was that my ex loved this toy,
379
00:16:17,498 --> 00:16:19,328
but on him.
380
00:16:19,456 --> 00:16:21,326
And, uh, one day,
381
00:16:21,458 --> 00:16:24,898
I cranked that shit to 10
and touched it to his junk
382
00:16:25,027 --> 00:16:27,597
just to
see what would happen.
383
00:16:27,725 --> 00:16:29,675
[chuckles] And the moment
I touched it to him,
384
00:16:29,814 --> 00:16:32,304
his balls went up
inside his body.
385
00:16:32,426 --> 00:16:35,556
[laughter]
386
00:16:35,690 --> 00:16:37,040
I didn't even know
they could do that.
387
00:16:38,954 --> 00:16:40,834
I was just like,
"Do they stay up there
388
00:16:40,956 --> 00:16:42,996
until you see sneeze
really hard?"
389
00:16:43,915 --> 00:16:46,955
Just give one hard man Kegel?
390
00:16:47,093 --> 00:16:48,833
Thought I was gonna have
to, like, start pushing
391
00:16:48,964 --> 00:16:50,444
on his belly button, like,
trying to get quarters out
392
00:16:50,574 --> 00:16:51,534
of a Skee-Ball machine
or something.
393
00:16:53,751 --> 00:16:56,621
I had my bachelorette party
in Vegas
394
00:16:56,754 --> 00:16:58,454
and we went
to the "Magic Mike" show.
395
00:16:58,582 --> 00:17:00,372
Has anybody here been
to the "Magic Mike" show?
396
00:17:00,497 --> 00:17:02,887
No? Oh, my God.
397
00:17:03,022 --> 00:17:06,032
When this shit
opens back up, you gotta go.
398
00:17:06,155 --> 00:17:07,935
I challenge any woman here
to see that show
399
00:17:08,070 --> 00:17:10,330
and not try to get
fingered afterward.
400
00:17:10,464 --> 00:17:13,514
Not physically possible.
It is the cream of the cock--
401
00:17:13,641 --> 00:17:16,561
ugh, the dick Olympics,
chef's kiss.
402
00:17:16,687 --> 00:17:18,687
For two hours, these, like,
403
00:17:18,820 --> 00:17:22,650
oiled-up six packs just grind
the stage, and they sing to you,
404
00:17:22,780 --> 00:17:24,480
and they lick whipped cream
off your body.
405
00:17:24,608 --> 00:17:26,648
And then they bring women
onstage,
406
00:17:26,784 --> 00:17:28,664
and then they take your top off,
407
00:17:28,786 --> 00:17:30,266
and then they
take your pants off,
408
00:17:30,397 --> 00:17:31,657
and then they fuck you.
No, I'm kidding.
409
00:17:31,789 --> 00:17:34,579
[laughter]
410
00:17:34,705 --> 00:17:38,535
Ugh, that was for me.
411
00:17:38,666 --> 00:17:40,666
I just--I just wanna see
how far you guys would
412
00:17:40,798 --> 00:17:42,408
go with me on that one.
[laughs]
413
00:17:42,539 --> 00:17:43,579
Like, everyone started
pulling their phone out,
414
00:17:43,714 --> 00:17:45,634
just checking flights to Vegas.
415
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,850
Taxi.
No, they don't fuck you.
416
00:17:48,980 --> 00:17:51,290
That'd be pretty dope,
but they don't do that.
417
00:17:51,418 --> 00:17:53,118
They do a lot to you, though.
418
00:17:53,246 --> 00:17:54,506
You get a lot for your money.
Like, at one point,
419
00:17:54,638 --> 00:17:55,638
they do actually
bring women on stage
420
00:17:55,770 --> 00:17:57,770
and they put you in harnesses,
421
00:17:57,902 --> 00:18:01,172
and you get to ride the men
into the sky like Free Willy.
422
00:18:01,297 --> 00:18:04,387
[laughter]
423
00:18:04,518 --> 00:18:06,218
They get your hornier
than you've ever been
424
00:18:06,346 --> 00:18:08,776
in your entire life.
425
00:18:08,913 --> 00:18:13,793
And then they just set you loose
back into the wild.
426
00:18:13,918 --> 00:18:16,008
Single dudes, if you are trying
to hook up in Vegas,
427
00:18:16,138 --> 00:18:19,358
just go sit outside
the "Magic Mike" exit.
428
00:18:19,489 --> 00:18:20,929
Do you understand?
429
00:18:21,056 --> 00:18:22,536
You're gonna catch something,
all right?
430
00:18:22,666 --> 00:18:23,886
We're running out
there like starfish,
431
00:18:24,015 --> 00:18:26,235
just--the hole's open,
ready to go.
432
00:18:26,366 --> 00:18:27,626
You'll get something.
433
00:18:31,762 --> 00:18:34,722
I'd love to see what it's like
to go back to that show
434
00:18:34,852 --> 00:18:37,122
not as part
of a bachelorette party
435
00:18:37,246 --> 00:18:39,286
because there's two
different types of women
436
00:18:39,422 --> 00:18:41,122
who go to "Magic Mike," right?
437
00:18:41,250 --> 00:18:42,250
Like, you get in there
and the host is like,
438
00:18:42,382 --> 00:18:44,172
"All right,
439
00:18:44,297 --> 00:18:46,127
make some noise if you're here
for a bachelorette party,"
440
00:18:46,255 --> 00:18:47,335
and there's a bunch
of young girls like,
441
00:18:47,474 --> 00:18:50,304
"Ooh, oh, my God, penises.
442
00:18:50,433 --> 00:18:53,743
Wooh!"
And then the host goes,
443
00:18:53,871 --> 00:18:57,011
"All right. Who here's
celebrating a divorce?"
444
00:18:57,136 --> 00:19:00,136
And it's one table of women
in their forties like,
445
00:19:00,269 --> 00:19:03,659
"Give me your dick."
I was like, "Oh, Christ."
446
00:19:03,794 --> 00:19:05,934
Oh, it was like a battle cry.
447
00:19:06,057 --> 00:19:08,497
I'm gonna go sit
at that table next time.
448
00:19:08,625 --> 00:19:10,625
I'm very excited.
449
00:19:10,758 --> 00:19:12,848
I was like a square.
I was this honor student.
450
00:19:12,977 --> 00:19:14,847
I followed the rules.
451
00:19:14,979 --> 00:19:18,329
I didn't start drinking
until I was--I got--
452
00:19:18,461 --> 00:19:20,721
I got a fake ID when I was 20,
453
00:19:20,855 --> 00:19:22,725
and that's
when I started drinking.
454
00:19:22,857 --> 00:19:24,547
MAN: [laughs] You waited
till 20. You could have just--
455
00:19:24,685 --> 00:19:26,685
a few more months.
- I know.
456
00:19:26,817 --> 00:19:28,077
I was, like, twenty
and eight months, too.
457
00:19:28,210 --> 00:19:31,130
I was just getting
so desperate.
458
00:19:31,257 --> 00:19:33,557
All of my friends
had turned twenty-one,
459
00:19:33,694 --> 00:19:35,484
like, I don't know,
five months before me,
460
00:19:35,609 --> 00:19:37,829
and I just--I hated
the thought of everybody going
461
00:19:37,959 --> 00:19:39,869
and having
the birthday at the bars,
462
00:19:40,004 --> 00:19:41,964
and I had to just sit at home,
so I got this, like,
463
00:19:42,093 --> 00:19:44,883
real shitty
Texas driver's license,
464
00:19:45,009 --> 00:19:46,579
this fake ID, [laughs]
465
00:19:46,707 --> 00:19:48,667
and I--it somehow worked.
466
00:19:48,796 --> 00:19:51,186
So my ex and I,
467
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,540
we always lived in a place
that only had one bathroom.
468
00:19:54,671 --> 00:19:57,201
And one of the fights
that we had over and over
469
00:19:57,326 --> 00:20:01,846
was because he would
take 45-minute man shits.
470
00:20:01,983 --> 00:20:05,123
I see some of you are also
familiar with this phenomenon.
471
00:20:05,247 --> 00:20:06,377
I don't know
what you guys do in there.
472
00:20:06,509 --> 00:20:09,119
You guys go numb
from the waist down.
473
00:20:09,251 --> 00:20:11,431
Your butthole's
completely dry out.
474
00:20:11,558 --> 00:20:13,998
It's like a craisin back there.
475
00:20:14,125 --> 00:20:15,515
You guys
are just sitting in there
476
00:20:15,649 --> 00:20:16,649
for an entire episode
of "Ozark."
477
00:20:16,780 --> 00:20:18,870
I don't--what is happening?
478
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,570
And so I asked him early on.
I was like,
479
00:20:21,698 --> 00:20:24,528
"Hey, why does it take you
so long to do that?"
480
00:20:24,658 --> 00:20:27,178
And he goes,
"Well, my doctor told me
481
00:20:27,313 --> 00:20:30,973
that it's bad to push,
so I don't push.
482
00:20:31,099 --> 00:20:32,709
I just sit,
and I let it fall out."
483
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,890
[laughter]
484
00:20:37,018 --> 00:20:39,538
It's like what are you,
a geisha?
485
00:20:39,673 --> 00:20:43,023
What are you trying to take
these dainty shits for?
486
00:20:43,154 --> 00:20:44,904
You're a man.
Just grab onto something,
487
00:20:45,026 --> 00:20:47,856
fire it out, get the fuck out
of there.
488
00:20:47,985 --> 00:20:50,895
It's Sunday.
We gotta go to Costco."
489
00:20:51,032 --> 00:20:54,472
And I have
irritable bowel syndrome,
490
00:20:54,601 --> 00:20:56,081
which makes every situation
like that worse.
491
00:20:56,211 --> 00:20:58,081
It basically means
like there's no warning
492
00:20:58,213 --> 00:21:00,083
for anything that's going
to happen to my body.
493
00:21:00,215 --> 00:21:01,865
I'll just be in the produce
aisle of the grocery store,
494
00:21:01,999 --> 00:21:03,169
and then my butthole's like,
"Release the Kraken."
495
00:21:03,305 --> 00:21:04,955
I'm like, "Oh, Christ,"
you know.
496
00:21:05,089 --> 00:21:07,609
Startles me, it's terrible.
497
00:21:07,744 --> 00:21:09,494
So, you know,
498
00:21:09,616 --> 00:21:11,436
a while back
when we were living together,
499
00:21:11,574 --> 00:21:12,974
one day he went
into the bathroom
500
00:21:13,097 --> 00:21:14,447
for one of his sessions,
501
00:21:14,577 --> 00:21:16,487
and I knew
it was gonna be a session
502
00:21:16,623 --> 00:21:18,583
because I could hear him
lock the door.
503
00:21:18,712 --> 00:21:22,592
So he gets about 20 minutes
into his usual 45 minutes
504
00:21:22,716 --> 00:21:25,676
when I start
to feel some fireworks.
505
00:21:25,806 --> 00:21:27,806
And I'm like, "Oh, no."
506
00:21:27,938 --> 00:21:31,198
So I text him, and I'm like,
507
00:21:31,333 --> 00:21:34,603
"Hey, I'm about
to shit my pants."
508
00:21:34,728 --> 00:21:37,818
Siren emoji. Fire emoji.
509
00:21:40,777 --> 00:21:43,127
He doesn't respond.
510
00:21:43,258 --> 00:21:47,038
I can hear his phone
get my text.
511
00:21:47,175 --> 00:21:49,125
And then I hear him
just continue
512
00:21:49,264 --> 00:21:51,184
to watch "Arrested Development."
I'm like, "Asshole, asshole."
513
00:21:51,310 --> 00:21:53,570
So now I'm faced
with the reality
514
00:21:53,703 --> 00:21:56,793
that I do not have access
to a toilet,
515
00:21:56,924 --> 00:21:59,974
and I've got some demons
coming down the chute.
516
00:22:00,101 --> 00:22:02,361
I am in apocalypse
survival mode.
517
00:22:02,495 --> 00:22:05,495
So now, I start frantically
looking around our apartment
518
00:22:05,628 --> 00:22:06,978
for a substitute toilet.
519
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,500
The first thing I see
is the kitchen sink.
520
00:22:13,027 --> 00:22:15,987
I know. I know. Right away,
I was like, "Too high."
521
00:22:16,117 --> 00:22:20,987
[laughter]
522
00:22:21,122 --> 00:22:24,212
It's a lot of gymnastics
I'm not qualified for.
523
00:22:24,343 --> 00:22:29,223
Next thing I saw
was his Boston Red Sox hat,
524
00:22:29,348 --> 00:22:31,998
which emotionally felt
like the right choice
525
00:22:32,133 --> 00:22:33,743
'cause I would like
to soft-serve him
526
00:22:33,874 --> 00:22:35,094
some piping hot justice,
you know what I mean?
527
00:22:35,223 --> 00:22:37,183
For putting me
in that predicament.
528
00:22:37,312 --> 00:22:38,662
But I was like, "You know,
that's a lot of aim.
529
00:22:38,792 --> 00:22:41,142
I'm not comfortable
with that. Pass."
530
00:22:41,272 --> 00:22:43,802
Finally, I see in the corner
of the living room,
531
00:22:43,927 --> 00:22:46,447
there's an empty
cardboard Amazon box.
532
00:22:49,150 --> 00:22:51,760
And I'm, like, this is as good
as it's gonna get.
533
00:22:51,892 --> 00:22:54,632
So at 2:00 PM on a Tuesday,
534
00:22:54,764 --> 00:22:58,294
I had to rip my pants
down, squat,
535
00:22:58,420 --> 00:23:00,200
and I fired out some lava
with faster delivery
536
00:23:00,335 --> 00:23:02,555
than Amazon has ever offered.
537
00:23:03,338 --> 00:23:05,688
Your Prime account's
got nothing on my asshole.
538
00:23:05,819 --> 00:23:08,259
And I'm just like squatting
and crying.
539
00:23:08,387 --> 00:23:12,127
Our cats walked up to me,
like, trying to touch noses.
540
00:23:12,260 --> 00:23:13,480
I'm like, "Get out of here."
541
00:23:15,481 --> 00:23:18,751
They had a look on their face
I have never seen before.
542
00:23:18,875 --> 00:23:21,005
They're just looking at me
like, "Oh, you are one of us."
543
00:23:21,138 --> 00:23:22,878
[laughter]
544
00:23:23,010 --> 00:23:25,400
Peace be with you."
545
00:23:25,534 --> 00:23:27,714
And, you know, I've never been
in this situation before.
546
00:23:27,841 --> 00:23:30,281
I was going through a lot
of emotions as it was happening.
547
00:23:30,409 --> 00:23:32,409
Mostly rage. Mostly rage.
548
00:23:32,541 --> 00:23:35,021
I was pretty pissed
at my husband for forcing me
549
00:23:35,152 --> 00:23:37,982
to poop in a box
like an old homeless man
550
00:23:38,112 --> 00:23:41,722
while he and his delicate
flower of an asshole
551
00:23:41,855 --> 00:23:44,635
got to enjoy some nice
princess poops, you know?
552
00:23:44,771 --> 00:23:48,041
Just a nice little plop, plop,
553
00:23:48,165 --> 00:23:52,035
[vocalizing]
- [laughter]
554
00:23:52,169 --> 00:23:54,389
Just a nice spa day for him.
555
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,480
Meanwhile,
I'm wiping with a sock.
556
00:23:57,610 --> 00:23:59,310
Blood vessels bursting
in my eyeballs and forehead.
557
00:23:59,438 --> 00:24:02,178
I was so pissed.
I was so mad at him.
558
00:24:02,310 --> 00:24:05,530
So after I was done,
I boxed it back up.
559
00:24:05,661 --> 00:24:07,321
[laughter]
560
00:24:07,446 --> 00:24:08,876
I know. You want me
to walk around with it open?
561
00:24:09,012 --> 00:24:09,972
You got--you got to
box it back up.
562
00:24:10,100 --> 00:24:12,100
So I boxed it back up,
563
00:24:12,233 --> 00:24:15,113
and I was getting ready to
walk it outside to the dumpster,
564
00:24:15,236 --> 00:24:17,276
and as I was about
to walk out with it,
565
00:24:17,412 --> 00:24:20,112
that's when he finally
came out of the bathroom,
566
00:24:20,241 --> 00:24:22,241
and he just saw me standing
there with an Amazon box.
567
00:24:22,373 --> 00:24:24,253
And he goes,
568
00:24:24,375 --> 00:24:25,935
"Oh, sweet, did my PlayStation
controller come?"
569
00:24:28,728 --> 00:24:30,818
[laughter]
570
00:24:36,257 --> 00:24:40,087
And his reaction
brought me more joy
571
00:24:40,217 --> 00:24:42,257
than every Christmas morning
combined.
572
00:24:42,393 --> 00:24:44,183
[laughter]
573
00:24:44,308 --> 00:24:47,788
'Cause he was so confused
he didn't understand
574
00:24:47,921 --> 00:24:49,271
that it was me who did that.
575
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,490
[laughter]
576
00:24:51,620 --> 00:24:54,320
'Cause why would he think
that his sweet little wife
577
00:24:54,449 --> 00:24:58,629
would literally shit
into a box and hand it to him?
578
00:24:58,758 --> 00:25:00,058
Who does that? I do.
579
00:25:00,194 --> 00:25:01,284
[laughter]
580
00:25:01,412 --> 00:25:03,072
Oh, it was the best.
581
00:25:05,591 --> 00:25:09,381
I, uh, I feel like I knew
when the passion died
582
00:25:09,508 --> 00:25:13,988
in our relationship
because he called me bud.
583
00:25:14,121 --> 00:25:15,511
- WOMAN: Uh-hmm.
- Yeah. It's not a good sign.
584
00:25:15,644 --> 00:25:18,734
My stomach hurt and I groaned,
and he was like,
585
00:25:18,865 --> 00:25:20,165
"Hey, how are you feeling, bud?"
586
00:25:20,301 --> 00:25:21,781
[laughter]
587
00:25:21,911 --> 00:25:24,391
"Uh, worse. Yeah."
588
00:25:24,523 --> 00:25:25,703
Now that I became your son.
589
00:25:25,828 --> 00:25:27,178
[laughter]
590
00:25:27,308 --> 00:25:29,008
Gonna be late
for Little League.
591
00:25:29,136 --> 00:25:31,696
Ugh, it bothered me so much,
I hated it,
592
00:25:31,834 --> 00:25:35,664
so the next time
that we had sex,
593
00:25:37,187 --> 00:25:39,707
right as he was about to finish,
594
00:25:39,842 --> 00:25:42,112
I whispered in his ear,
595
00:25:42,236 --> 00:25:44,276
"Hit me with that load, chief."
596
00:25:44,412 --> 00:25:47,282
[laughter]
597
00:25:51,637 --> 00:25:55,287
Yeah. I have never seen
a man hate an orgasm before.
598
00:25:55,423 --> 00:25:57,383
All right. I'm Kelsey Cook.
Thank you guys so much.
599
00:25:57,512 --> 00:25:58,862
Have a great night.
600
00:25:58,992 --> 00:26:01,042
[cheers and applause]
601
00:26:03,344 --> 00:26:05,174
My mom was always
supportive from the beginning.
602
00:26:05,302 --> 00:26:07,482
My dad took a little bit longer
to warm up to it
603
00:26:07,609 --> 00:26:09,349
because randomly,
when your daughter's like,
604
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,270
"Hey,
605
00:26:11,395 --> 00:26:15,305
I'm gonna be a clown."
You're like, "What?
606
00:26:15,443 --> 00:26:16,403
Why would you make this
decision?"
607
00:26:16,531 --> 00:26:18,051
And I get it.
608
00:26:18,185 --> 00:26:21,005
If you're a dad,
you don't wanna watch
609
00:26:21,144 --> 00:26:23,804
your daughter
talk about cumming, so--
610
00:26:23,930 --> 00:26:25,890
Man: [chuckles]
611
00:26:26,019 --> 00:26:28,459
But I think once he saw
that I started to make money
612
00:26:28,587 --> 00:26:30,067
on it
and that doors were opening,
613
00:26:30,197 --> 00:26:32,027
he got onboard, and now he--
614
00:26:32,155 --> 00:26:34,505
both of my parents
are my biggest fans.
615
00:26:34,636 --> 00:26:37,026
They come to every show
when I'm in town.
616
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,210
They watch everything
that goes online.
617
00:26:39,336 --> 00:26:42,166
They're amazing.
I'm really, really lucky.
618
00:26:43,471 --> 00:26:45,521
We would get roasted
a lot and teased because,
619
00:26:45,647 --> 00:26:48,127
you know, we would look poor
in hand-me-down.
620
00:26:48,258 --> 00:26:50,908
They used to say they could tell
what we were having for lunch
621
00:26:51,044 --> 00:26:52,394
'cause the stains
would be on my vest.
622
00:26:52,523 --> 00:26:54,533
[man laughs]
623
00:26:54,656 --> 00:26:57,396
And I just got murdered
in the cafeteria with that line.
624
00:26:57,528 --> 00:26:59,268
Everybody was like, "Oh."
625
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,270
So I had to immediately
start clapping back, man,
626
00:27:01,402 --> 00:27:03,972
and just start roasting
people's hairline, shoes,
627
00:27:04,100 --> 00:27:05,540
whatever you can.
628
00:27:05,667 --> 00:27:08,237
Anything was fresh up
on the table.
629
00:27:08,365 --> 00:27:09,845
At that point,
630
00:27:09,976 --> 00:27:11,846
I got a reputation
for just being funny.
631
00:27:11,978 --> 00:27:13,278
I didn't even know
I had that in me,
632
00:27:13,414 --> 00:27:15,594
but it was like, you know,
fight or flight.
633
00:27:15,721 --> 00:27:18,251
ANNOUNCER: Please welcome
to the stage Kiry Shabazz.
634
00:27:18,375 --> 00:27:21,415
[cheers and applause]
635
00:27:31,693 --> 00:27:34,443
Thank you, all. It takes me
a minute to get to the stage,
636
00:27:34,565 --> 00:27:36,125
so people got to clap
extra long. So thank you all.
637
00:27:36,263 --> 00:27:37,573
[laughter]
638
00:27:37,699 --> 00:27:39,139
Being here, man.
How y'all feeling?
639
00:27:39,266 --> 00:27:40,176
Y'all feeling good?
640
00:27:40,310 --> 00:27:41,880
[cheers and applause]
641
00:27:42,008 --> 00:27:45,318
I don't know, man, I am--
642
00:27:45,446 --> 00:27:48,056
I'm following my dreams.
I don't recommend it.
643
00:27:48,188 --> 00:27:49,888
If you're gonna--
- [laughter]
644
00:27:50,016 --> 00:27:51,886
No, for real 'cause
the sneeze and the cough
645
00:27:52,018 --> 00:27:53,498
took out my whole industry.
646
00:27:53,628 --> 00:27:55,938
Like, it's not--
- [laughter]
647
00:27:56,065 --> 00:27:58,365
And I've worked hard
to get to where I'm at.
648
00:27:58,502 --> 00:28:01,332
I was work--I used to work at
a lot of fast food restaurants.
649
00:28:01,462 --> 00:28:04,552
I was working at Taco Bell,
and I was really good at it.
650
00:28:04,683 --> 00:28:06,953
Like, I was extremely good.
651
00:28:07,076 --> 00:28:08,556
Like, to this day,
I still know
652
00:28:08,687 --> 00:28:10,337
how to make
a Crunchwrap Supreme.
653
00:28:10,471 --> 00:28:11,911
I still--
- [laughter]
654
00:28:12,038 --> 00:28:13,598
Y'all don't believe me.
12-inch tortilla,
655
00:28:13,735 --> 00:28:15,345
pump of nacho cheese,
scoop of beef,
656
00:28:15,476 --> 00:28:17,386
take the crunchy tostada shell,
put it on top,
657
00:28:17,521 --> 00:28:19,391
good to swirl so it's an even
portion of beef and cheese,
658
00:28:19,523 --> 00:28:21,533
when you bite into the center.
659
00:28:21,656 --> 00:28:23,526
Circle pump of sour cream,
four finger pinch of lettuce,
660
00:28:23,658 --> 00:28:25,438
three finger pinch of tomato,
wrap it like a semi-octagon,
661
00:28:25,573 --> 00:28:28,103
grill it for 17 seconds,
and serve.
662
00:28:28,228 --> 00:28:30,398
That is a useless
fucking skill I possess.
663
00:28:30,534 --> 00:28:33,104
[cheers and applause]
664
00:28:33,233 --> 00:28:35,983
Please don't condescend. Please.
665
00:28:36,105 --> 00:28:38,235
I was working
at Taco Bell at the time,
666
00:28:38,368 --> 00:28:41,758
and I kept getting in trouble
'cause I would joke around
667
00:28:41,894 --> 00:28:44,944
and say shit that'll piss,
you know--Taco Bell has a HR.
668
00:28:45,071 --> 00:28:47,331
I know it's shocking.
But they actually--
669
00:28:47,464 --> 00:28:50,124
they actually
have a fucking HR department.
670
00:28:50,250 --> 00:28:52,510
But I would get in trouble all
the time for joking about shit.
671
00:28:52,643 --> 00:28:55,083
They had me work
in the back kitchen.
672
00:28:55,211 --> 00:28:57,521
I'm the only Black dude
back here working,
673
00:28:57,648 --> 00:28:59,518
but I was always in the back.
674
00:28:59,650 --> 00:29:01,570
Like, they never wanted me
in the front of the house.
675
00:29:01,696 --> 00:29:05,696
Literally, I was in the back and
I started singing spirituals.
676
00:29:05,831 --> 00:29:07,961
Like, I will
be back there mopping, like...
677
00:29:08,094 --> 00:29:09,274
♪ Swing low
678
00:29:09,399 --> 00:29:12,009
Just like loud as fuck.
679
00:29:12,141 --> 00:29:13,141
And my friend
pulled me to the side.
680
00:29:13,273 --> 00:29:15,063
He was doing improv.
681
00:29:15,188 --> 00:29:16,488
He was like, "Hey, man,
I know this club.
682
00:29:16,624 --> 00:29:18,804
Come try stand-up comedy
and, you know,
683
00:29:18,931 --> 00:29:21,631
do it and you can sing
spirituals on stage all day
684
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,110
and you could have that outlet."
And that felt great.
685
00:29:25,241 --> 00:29:27,371
My manager recently reached out.
686
00:29:27,504 --> 00:29:28,724
He was like,
"Hey, you wanna come back?"
687
00:29:28,854 --> 00:29:30,424
I'm like, "No. What the fuck?"
Like--
688
00:29:30,551 --> 00:29:32,291
[laughter]
689
00:29:32,422 --> 00:29:34,292
I had to lie
and pretend I was busy
690
00:29:34,424 --> 00:29:36,214
doing like famous
Hollywood shit,
691
00:29:36,339 --> 00:29:38,859
but I secretly wanted
to go back. Like, it's not--
692
00:29:38,994 --> 00:29:41,044
But I can't do it.
693
00:29:41,170 --> 00:29:43,090
There's no way I will ever
go back to Taco Bell.
694
00:29:43,216 --> 00:29:44,476
The only way I'll go--
695
00:29:44,608 --> 00:29:46,178
I thought about it
long and hard,
696
00:29:46,306 --> 00:29:48,086
is if we're attacked
like a alien life force.
697
00:29:48,221 --> 00:29:49,961
[laughter]
698
00:29:50,092 --> 00:29:52,142
And NASA finds out
that the aliens
699
00:29:52,268 --> 00:29:53,918
really love Taco Bell.
700
00:29:54,053 --> 00:29:55,623
[laughter]
701
00:29:55,750 --> 00:29:57,320
Like, I don't know.
Like, there's some kind
702
00:29:57,447 --> 00:29:59,097
of chemical
in there that the aliens love.
703
00:29:59,232 --> 00:30:00,802
It's like gold on their planet,
and they're like,
704
00:30:00,929 --> 00:30:03,449
"We need a expert
to put a nuclear device
705
00:30:03,584 --> 00:30:05,934
in a Crunchwrap Supreme
706
00:30:06,065 --> 00:30:07,625
and blow up their spaceship.
707
00:30:07,762 --> 00:30:09,372
Who do we know?"
708
00:30:09,503 --> 00:30:11,113
And they'd come, they find me.
709
00:30:11,244 --> 00:30:12,944
I'm living
off-the-grid at my log cabin.
710
00:30:13,072 --> 00:30:14,682
[laughter]
711
00:30:14,813 --> 00:30:16,733
They show up.
I'm all grizzled and disheveled,
712
00:30:16,858 --> 00:30:21,298
Like, "I don't do that anymore.
I gave that life up.
713
00:30:21,428 --> 00:30:22,908
That's the old me."
714
00:30:23,038 --> 00:30:25,258
[laughter]
715
00:30:25,388 --> 00:30:28,568
But they finally convinced me
to come back to save mankind.
716
00:30:28,696 --> 00:30:30,436
They take me
to their secret training ground.
717
00:30:30,567 --> 00:30:32,827
They have a whole
secret operation going on.
718
00:30:32,961 --> 00:30:35,221
They got all these scientists
and astronauts
719
00:30:35,355 --> 00:30:36,615
trying to make Taco Bell.
720
00:30:36,747 --> 00:30:38,747
[laughter]
721
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,140
These guys been at MIT.
They're book smart.
722
00:30:41,274 --> 00:30:42,974
They don't know about
making real authentic Taco Bell.
723
00:30:43,102 --> 00:30:45,372
[laughter]
724
00:30:45,495 --> 00:30:47,405
Quiz them immediately.
725
00:30:47,541 --> 00:30:49,151
"You, glasses, right there.
Beefy five layer burrito?"
726
00:30:49,282 --> 00:30:50,672
[stutters]
727
00:30:50,805 --> 00:30:52,805
"Boom. Done.
In space it'll be out.
728
00:30:52,938 --> 00:30:56,418
You gotta make it quick.
30 seconds flat.
729
00:30:56,550 --> 00:30:58,070
Now, I gotta talk
to who's in charge.
730
00:30:58,204 --> 00:30:59,864
Who's in charge of this?
731
00:30:59,988 --> 00:31:01,768
I'm only doing this mission
under two conditions
732
00:31:01,903 --> 00:31:04,303
if we do it my way with my crew.
That's the only way."
733
00:31:04,427 --> 00:31:06,557
[laughter]
734
00:31:06,690 --> 00:31:08,610
I put a lot of thought in this.
I smoke a lot of weed. I--
735
00:31:08,736 --> 00:31:10,906
[laughter]
736
00:31:11,043 --> 00:31:13,613
Now, I gotta drive around.
You know, in black SUVs
737
00:31:13,741 --> 00:31:15,661
with federal agents or a crew,
no team,
738
00:31:15,786 --> 00:31:18,436
for one last mission
to save mankind.
739
00:31:18,572 --> 00:31:20,702
You know,
get the gang back together.
740
00:31:20,835 --> 00:31:22,705
The people on my list
are highly qualified,
741
00:31:22,837 --> 00:31:26,317
but to NASA
they look suspicious.
742
00:31:26,449 --> 00:31:27,799
First lady,
her name is Maria.
743
00:31:27,929 --> 00:31:30,239
She's pregnant
with her third child.
744
00:31:30,366 --> 00:31:32,236
Like, what do we need
with a pregnant teenage girl?
745
00:31:32,368 --> 00:31:34,588
It's like, "We need somebody
to work the registers,
746
00:31:34,718 --> 00:31:39,638
all right?
Every Taco Bell has one.
747
00:31:39,767 --> 00:31:42,287
The next guy on the list
is even more suspicious.
748
00:31:42,422 --> 00:31:44,422
His name is Phillip.
749
00:31:44,554 --> 00:31:46,694
He's a 50-year-old White man
addicted to meth and heroin.
750
00:31:46,817 --> 00:31:48,517
[laughter]
751
00:31:48,645 --> 00:31:50,125
They're like,
"What the fuck do we need
752
00:31:50,256 --> 00:31:51,516
with a 50-year-old
white meth addict?"
753
00:31:51,648 --> 00:31:53,388
I was like, "We need
a store manager.
754
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,520
Now look."
- [laughter]
755
00:31:58,220 --> 00:32:00,220
I wish that wasn't true.
756
00:32:00,353 --> 00:32:01,963
I really had a manager
named Phil who's a meth addict.
757
00:32:02,094 --> 00:32:05,494
I wish--Maybe I should have
changed his name for this bit.
758
00:32:05,619 --> 00:32:08,269
I don't know, but...
- [laughter]
759
00:32:08,404 --> 00:32:10,494
He wasn't self-aware.
760
00:32:10,624 --> 00:32:13,584
He would try to compliment me
but offend me at the same time.
761
00:32:13,714 --> 00:32:15,324
He was like, "Hey, man.
You're doing a good job.
762
00:32:15,455 --> 00:32:16,935
I see a lot of myself in you."
763
00:32:17,065 --> 00:32:18,935
I'm like, "Nigga,
don't ever say that again."
764
00:32:19,067 --> 00:32:22,417
The fuck is wrong with you?
That was so discouraging."
765
00:32:23,811 --> 00:32:25,641
And I'm not blowing down
on Taco Bell.
766
00:32:25,769 --> 00:32:28,949
Get it how you live, it's just--
I just--it's like, okay.
767
00:32:29,077 --> 00:32:32,427
I went back home and I got
a job at Target,
768
00:32:32,559 --> 00:32:34,299
and it was rough
769
00:32:34,430 --> 00:32:36,610
because just a month
before that, I was on TV.
770
00:32:36,737 --> 00:32:39,387
I just had a comedy thing air
on TV.
771
00:32:39,522 --> 00:32:41,222
It was amazing.
And a month later,
772
00:32:41,350 --> 00:32:43,440
I was checking receipts
at the door at Target.
773
00:32:43,570 --> 00:32:45,090
That shit
was fucking miserable, man.
774
00:32:45,224 --> 00:32:47,794
My soul was crushed.
775
00:32:47,922 --> 00:32:50,932
I had to smile at white people
at the door at Target
776
00:32:51,056 --> 00:32:53,616
like a good
little Negro every day.
777
00:32:53,754 --> 00:32:56,284
Like, "Hey, there.
How you doing? [mumbles]"
778
00:32:56,409 --> 00:32:58,849
Like, it was just--
- [laughter]
779
00:32:58,977 --> 00:33:00,937
I had to smile
and be friendly to white kids.
780
00:33:01,066 --> 00:33:04,156
"Y'all be good to your
mammmies." Slappity-slap.
781
00:33:04,286 --> 00:33:06,106
I didn't--
- [laughter]
782
00:33:06,245 --> 00:33:10,595
[laughs] I'm goddamn right.
783
00:33:10,727 --> 00:33:13,027
But I did. I went back home.
I went back home.
784
00:33:13,165 --> 00:33:15,945
A lot of people went back home.
Strange times, man.
785
00:33:16,081 --> 00:33:18,171
And going back home
is always a good idea
786
00:33:18,300 --> 00:33:21,220
until you actually go back home.
787
00:33:21,347 --> 00:33:23,257
Then you realize
that's the worst decision
788
00:33:23,392 --> 00:33:25,872
you could have ever made
in your life,
789
00:33:26,004 --> 00:33:27,484
but I wanted to be near family.
790
00:33:27,614 --> 00:33:29,704
I'm a Black man.
Family is big to us.
791
00:33:29,833 --> 00:33:31,883
I got a question for real.
and I don't--white people.
792
00:33:32,010 --> 00:33:35,190
Sir, white--
do white people have cousins?
793
00:33:35,317 --> 00:33:36,797
- WOMAN: Yeah.
- Like, no.
794
00:33:36,927 --> 00:33:38,187
[laughter]
795
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:39,840
She said, "Yeah." No.
796
00:33:39,974 --> 00:33:41,454
I know you all have cousins,
797
00:33:41,584 --> 00:33:42,804
but do you all interact
with them?
798
00:33:42,933 --> 00:33:43,723
- I never see--
- WOMAN: Yeah.
799
00:33:43,847 --> 00:33:45,627
Because--no. Okay.
800
00:33:45,762 --> 00:33:47,332
Well, for some white people
who don't know,
801
00:33:47,460 --> 00:33:48,160
like, cousins
are the shit to minorities.
802
00:33:48,287 --> 00:33:50,027
We love our fucking cousins.
803
00:33:50,158 --> 00:33:52,288
Like, our cousin--
Like, a cousin is a bond
804
00:33:52,421 --> 00:33:55,381
forged by childhood tragedy.
805
00:33:55,511 --> 00:33:58,081
You know what I mean?
806
00:33:58,210 --> 00:34:03,040
Every loving memory of my cousin
is due to some horrific event.
807
00:34:03,171 --> 00:34:04,691
Every time I hung out with them
is because either one
808
00:34:04,825 --> 00:34:08,915
of our utilities was cut out.
Like, that's--
809
00:34:09,047 --> 00:34:11,347
Their mom was running away
from their boyfriend,
810
00:34:11,484 --> 00:34:12,794
and we hung out for a week
and was Power Rangers.
811
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,100
It was amazing.
812
00:34:15,227 --> 00:34:18,357
My mom battled with
addiction, so my dad was like,
813
00:34:18,491 --> 00:34:21,581
"We need to get him
somewhere more stable."
814
00:34:21,711 --> 00:34:24,321
So I have a older brother
and then a younger sister.
815
00:34:24,453 --> 00:34:27,633
So we all three
went to Cleveland, and then--
816
00:34:27,761 --> 00:34:30,331
Yeah, we just thugged it out
in Cleveland from there on out.
817
00:34:30,459 --> 00:34:33,379
MAN: So you go to be raised
by who in Cleveland?
818
00:34:33,506 --> 00:34:35,546
My grandmother
which is my dad's mom.
819
00:34:35,682 --> 00:34:36,992
- MAN: Yeah.
- Yeah. So, I was raised by her.
820
00:34:37,118 --> 00:34:40,378
Really, man,
just one of the kindest,
821
00:34:40,513 --> 00:34:42,603
like, nicest ladies.
822
00:34:42,732 --> 00:34:45,742
She worked most of her life
doing the education system
823
00:34:45,866 --> 00:34:47,776
so we had encyclopedias,
824
00:34:47,911 --> 00:34:50,911
and, like, we were reading
fucking Edgar Allan Poe
825
00:34:51,045 --> 00:34:54,045
and Emily Dickinson
and all kind of crazy shit.
826
00:34:54,179 --> 00:34:55,879
She was everything to me.
She was my mom,
827
00:34:56,006 --> 00:34:57,696
she was my father,
she was my teacher.
828
00:34:57,834 --> 00:34:59,014
She took us all in.
829
00:34:59,140 --> 00:35:02,100
If you--
literally it was like a--
830
00:35:02,230 --> 00:35:05,710
it was a drop-off zone for kids.
She was like a fire station.
831
00:35:05,842 --> 00:35:07,282
You could just bring your baby
and no questions asked.
832
00:35:07,409 --> 00:35:09,019
[man laughs]
833
00:35:09,150 --> 00:35:12,020
That's what family's for, man.
And I went back.
834
00:35:12,153 --> 00:35:13,943
I thought it would help
my sister.
835
00:35:14,068 --> 00:35:16,848
She's a single mom raising kids.
She has a lot of kids.
836
00:35:16,984 --> 00:35:18,904
My sister has so many kids.
837
00:35:19,029 --> 00:35:21,509
Like, the rules in her house
are a little different.
838
00:35:21,641 --> 00:35:23,951
In her house, like, the minute
you learn how to walk,
839
00:35:24,078 --> 00:35:25,558
you are on your own.
You got to figure it out.
840
00:35:25,688 --> 00:35:27,078
[laughter]
841
00:35:27,212 --> 00:35:29,692
It's dog eat dog.
You are on your own.
842
00:35:29,823 --> 00:35:32,433
And I was at her house,
and I saw my niece getting ready
843
00:35:32,565 --> 00:35:34,775
to take her first steps
for the first time.
844
00:35:34,915 --> 00:35:36,785
And in that moment,
845
00:35:36,917 --> 00:35:38,007
I just had to sweep her feet
and knock her down.
846
00:35:38,136 --> 00:35:39,876
Like, "not yet, baby girl.
Not yet.
847
00:35:40,007 --> 00:35:43,137
Just hang in there a little bit.
848
00:35:43,271 --> 00:35:46,271
Once you start walking,
I can't help you. It's over."
849
00:35:48,711 --> 00:35:50,891
I think the hardest part, too,
about going back home
850
00:35:51,018 --> 00:35:52,928
is you realize
your mind has changed.
851
00:35:53,063 --> 00:35:54,543
You no longer think
the same way.
852
00:35:54,674 --> 00:35:55,984
You have different values.
853
00:35:56,110 --> 00:35:57,890
I've been in California
for a long time.
854
00:35:58,025 --> 00:35:59,765
I am like a common law liberal,
855
00:35:59,896 --> 00:36:01,896
like, it's just--
it's ingrained.
856
00:36:02,029 --> 00:36:03,509
I just--
I'm a California liberal.
857
00:36:03,639 --> 00:36:04,989
I shop at Sprouts.
858
00:36:05,119 --> 00:36:07,379
I didn't have
the right mentality
859
00:36:07,513 --> 00:36:09,953
to go back to Ohio
and be in a hood.
860
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:11,950
Like, I was
at my dad's house,
861
00:36:12,082 --> 00:36:14,132
and there was this cat
stuck in a tree.
862
00:36:14,259 --> 00:36:17,479
And the cat was meowing.
Like, it just...meow!
863
00:36:17,610 --> 00:36:21,920
Like, it was miserable,
and nobody gave a fuck.
864
00:36:22,049 --> 00:36:24,139
No one gave--I was furious.
865
00:36:24,269 --> 00:36:26,009
I'm like, this would never
happen in Berkeley.
866
00:36:26,140 --> 00:36:28,190
There's no way.
867
00:36:29,970 --> 00:36:32,410
If a cat was stuck in a tree
in Berkeley,
868
00:36:32,538 --> 00:36:35,408
they will send
a fucking task force.
869
00:36:35,541 --> 00:36:38,461
They will get that cat
a grievance counselor.
870
00:36:39,501 --> 00:36:41,721
Some white bitch would've
adopted it and named it Mittens.
871
00:36:41,851 --> 00:36:44,071
Like, that cat--
- [laughter]
872
00:36:44,202 --> 00:36:46,472
They would have spared no cost.
873
00:36:46,595 --> 00:36:48,895
But here in Ohio,
people walk by calloused.
874
00:36:49,032 --> 00:36:51,032
Didn't give a fuck
about that cat.
875
00:36:51,165 --> 00:36:54,165
And finally,
after a few days, I snapped.
876
00:36:54,299 --> 00:36:56,479
I was talking to my dad,
and he said some shit
877
00:36:56,605 --> 00:36:58,255
that was so--
You ever hear something
878
00:36:58,390 --> 00:37:01,480
that was so ignorant
but brilliant at the same time?
879
00:37:01,610 --> 00:37:03,050
I went up to him,
and I was like, "Hey, Dad,
880
00:37:03,177 --> 00:37:04,827
let me use your ladder."
He was like, "For what?"
881
00:37:04,961 --> 00:37:06,571
I was like, "I'm-a get that cat
out that tree.
882
00:37:06,702 --> 00:37:08,142
That cat is starving."
883
00:37:08,269 --> 00:37:09,919
And he was like,
"That cat ain't starving."
884
00:37:10,053 --> 00:37:11,493
I was like, "How do you know?"
He was like,
885
00:37:11,620 --> 00:37:13,540
"'Cause he's still
that goddamn tree."
886
00:37:13,666 --> 00:37:15,316
I was like, "Oh, my God."
887
00:37:15,450 --> 00:37:17,760
[laughter]
888
00:37:17,887 --> 00:37:20,717
That made so much sense to me.
889
00:37:20,847 --> 00:37:22,067
If that cat was starving,
890
00:37:22,196 --> 00:37:24,806
he would get the fuck out
the tree.
891
00:37:24,938 --> 00:37:26,458
That night I went home,
892
00:37:26,592 --> 00:37:28,512
and I start looking
at my own life.
893
00:37:28,637 --> 00:37:30,857
Like, "Am I stuck
in my own dream?" Like...
894
00:37:30,987 --> 00:37:32,817
[laughter]
895
00:37:32,946 --> 00:37:33,986
I was like, "I gotta do,"--
896
00:37:34,121 --> 00:37:36,041
if you have any problems
in life,
897
00:37:36,166 --> 00:37:38,816
stop crying and complaining
and waiting for the people
898
00:37:38,952 --> 00:37:40,782
to bail you out and rescue you.
899
00:37:40,910 --> 00:37:43,520
Work hard and pull yourself up
by your bootstraps.
900
00:37:43,652 --> 00:37:45,792
I didn't like my dad's message,
but it was real,
901
00:37:45,915 --> 00:37:48,825
'cause when I came back
that cat was out of the tree.
902
00:37:48,962 --> 00:37:51,662
It collapsed from starvation
and fell to his death, but...
903
00:37:51,791 --> 00:37:54,181
[laughter]
904
00:37:54,315 --> 00:37:56,005
That's where y'all draw
the line,
905
00:37:56,143 --> 00:37:57,453
with the fake cat
in the goddamn tree?
906
00:37:57,579 --> 00:37:59,579
[laughter]
907
00:37:59,712 --> 00:38:02,062
Well, my mom, she was addicted
to methamphetamine,
908
00:38:02,192 --> 00:38:04,852
and she battled with that
for some time,
909
00:38:04,978 --> 00:38:06,628
and she was able to get clean
910
00:38:06,762 --> 00:38:09,502
and kind of get off drugs
and turn her life around.
911
00:38:09,635 --> 00:38:11,935
And I met her when I was 13.
912
00:38:12,072 --> 00:38:14,292
So we go out to California.
913
00:38:14,422 --> 00:38:17,162
My dad wants to surprise her,
'cause that's a fun prank.
914
00:38:17,295 --> 00:38:19,685
Like, "Hey, I'm here
with your kids you never met."
915
00:38:19,819 --> 00:38:21,729
So...
- Man: [laughing]
916
00:38:21,864 --> 00:38:24,214
Just--I'm--man, I'm dead ass.
Like, he just was like,
917
00:38:24,345 --> 00:38:27,435
"Hey, wouldn't this be funny?"
I'm like, "Yeah, I guess."
918
00:38:27,566 --> 00:38:29,176
[man laughs]
919
00:38:29,307 --> 00:38:32,137
We caught a Greyhound, man,
four days to California.
920
00:38:32,266 --> 00:38:35,656
We get into town,
and it was the most awkward,
921
00:38:35,791 --> 00:38:38,661
uncomfortable shit ever.
922
00:38:38,794 --> 00:38:40,624
Just like, "Hey, hey,
you know, these guys."
923
00:38:40,753 --> 00:38:43,153
Like, it's just--it was his way
of trying to be fun
924
00:38:43,277 --> 00:38:45,237
and funny and break the ice,
925
00:38:45,366 --> 00:38:47,186
but it made the tension
so thick.
926
00:38:47,325 --> 00:38:49,015
She doesn't have time to prepare
the house or nothing.
927
00:38:49,152 --> 00:38:51,592
You know, you wanna put on
a good impression?
928
00:38:51,720 --> 00:38:54,160
But, yeah, it felt
like it was a stranger, man.
929
00:38:54,288 --> 00:38:56,068
It really did.
930
00:38:56,203 --> 00:38:57,943
[laughter]
931
00:38:58,074 --> 00:38:59,994
I'm done with debates
with people online.
932
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,640
I'm tired of it.
I don't know if you guys are.
933
00:39:02,775 --> 00:39:04,685
I'm not arguing
with you online no more,
934
00:39:04,820 --> 00:39:07,560
because I don't believe
in people's philosophies.
935
00:39:07,693 --> 00:39:09,353
I don't believe
all lives matter.
936
00:39:09,477 --> 00:39:12,087
That's absurd.
Every life doesn't matter.
937
00:39:12,219 --> 00:39:13,919
[laughter]
938
00:39:14,047 --> 00:39:15,917
The fifth member
of a K-pop band,
939
00:39:16,049 --> 00:39:18,269
his life does not matter.
940
00:39:18,399 --> 00:39:21,709
There are nine other people that
looks exactly like him or her.
941
00:39:21,837 --> 00:39:24,617
I'm not sure.
942
00:39:24,753 --> 00:39:26,673
I don't wanna debate
with people, man.
943
00:39:26,799 --> 00:39:29,189
Because like--I got--
the last debate I got into,
944
00:39:29,323 --> 00:39:31,153
this guy was complaining
945
00:39:31,281 --> 00:39:32,981
about his constitutional rights
being violated.
946
00:39:33,109 --> 00:39:35,069
He was like,
947
00:39:35,198 --> 00:39:37,588
"It is my constitutional right
not to wear a mask.
948
00:39:37,723 --> 00:39:40,073
You have to respect
the Constitution.
949
00:39:40,203 --> 00:39:43,083
What document in America
do you know is more powerful
950
00:39:43,206 --> 00:39:45,206
than the Constitution?"
951
00:39:45,339 --> 00:39:47,599
I was like,
"Dude, a doctor's note, by far.
952
00:39:47,733 --> 00:39:50,003
Like, a doctor's note..."
- [laughter]
953
00:39:50,126 --> 00:39:53,036
"...is the most powerful
document in America."
954
00:39:53,173 --> 00:39:55,043
It is widely respected.
955
00:39:55,175 --> 00:39:56,865
You don't believe me?
956
00:39:57,003 --> 00:39:58,613
Don't show up to work
for 30 days and pop up
957
00:39:58,744 --> 00:40:00,704
with a Constitution
if you want to.
958
00:40:00,833 --> 00:40:02,793
[laughter]
959
00:40:02,922 --> 00:40:07,012
They'll fire you immediately.
You have a doctor's note,
960
00:40:07,143 --> 00:40:09,413
they might have to pay
for those missed days.
961
00:40:09,537 --> 00:40:11,317
In fact, none of us
could be here tonight
962
00:40:11,452 --> 00:40:12,982
if we didn't have
a doctor's note.
963
00:40:13,106 --> 00:40:16,586
I couldn't email them
a Bill of Rights.
964
00:40:16,718 --> 00:40:19,158
[laughter]
965
00:40:19,286 --> 00:40:22,716
I would be unemployed right now.
It's not bad. Think about this.
966
00:40:22,855 --> 00:40:24,985
To get
your constitutional rights,
967
00:40:25,118 --> 00:40:26,728
you might have to protest.
968
00:40:26,859 --> 00:40:28,819
You might have to like,
you know,
969
00:40:28,948 --> 00:40:32,038
hire an attorney
and get a federal case.
970
00:40:32,168 --> 00:40:34,908
Imagine how much trouble
a doctor's note would have saved
971
00:40:35,041 --> 00:40:38,261
some prolific
civil rights activist. Right?
972
00:40:38,392 --> 00:40:39,872
Like, I could just see it now.
973
00:40:40,002 --> 00:40:41,662
Like, "Oh, shit.
My bad, Rosa Parks.
974
00:40:41,787 --> 00:40:42,917
I didn't know
you had a doctor's note."
975
00:40:43,049 --> 00:40:45,049
[laughter]
976
00:40:45,181 --> 00:40:48,791
"It says here
your fibromyalgia is acting up.
977
00:40:48,924 --> 00:40:50,884
Get up, white bitch.
She has a note. Get up."
978
00:40:51,013 --> 00:40:52,933
[laughter]
979
00:40:53,059 --> 00:40:54,799
I'm just saying.
980
00:40:54,930 --> 00:40:56,280
It'd have been different
if Martin Luther King
981
00:40:56,410 --> 00:40:57,800
had a dream
signed by his physician.
982
00:40:57,933 --> 00:41:01,153
It would have went by...
- [laughter]
983
00:41:01,284 --> 00:41:04,514
...a lot more smooth.
984
00:41:04,636 --> 00:41:07,416
I'm also embarrassed, like,
sometimes a political debate,
985
00:41:07,552 --> 00:41:10,082
'cause we all wanna
to look intellectual.
986
00:41:10,206 --> 00:41:13,036
And my, like, ADD kicks in.
I can't always focus.
987
00:41:13,166 --> 00:41:14,816
I'll give you guys an example.
988
00:41:14,950 --> 00:41:16,870
The last intellectual
conversation I was in
989
00:41:16,996 --> 00:41:19,296
was about Antifa.
990
00:41:19,433 --> 00:41:21,703
And the whole time
I kept thinking, like,
991
00:41:21,827 --> 00:41:24,437
Antifa sounds like a name
of a sitcom
992
00:41:24,569 --> 00:41:28,309
Queen Latifah
was supposed to star in.
993
00:41:28,442 --> 00:41:30,532
Doesn't it? Like...
994
00:41:30,662 --> 00:41:33,802
It sound like the sitcom was
supposed to come out in 2020,
995
00:41:33,926 --> 00:41:36,486
but they canceled it, like,
because of the protest.
996
00:41:36,624 --> 00:41:39,324
It's just didn't translate
and ends well.
997
00:41:39,453 --> 00:41:41,243
Here's the premise of the show.
998
00:41:41,368 --> 00:41:43,938
Queen Latifah
moves to a new city
999
00:41:44,066 --> 00:41:46,326
to help raise
her nieces and nephews.
1000
00:41:46,460 --> 00:41:49,770
The tag line is, "Antifa's here
to take over Seattle."
1001
00:41:49,898 --> 00:41:51,988
[laughter]
1002
00:41:52,118 --> 00:41:55,298
I'm like, "We can't use
this shit. We need..."
1003
00:41:57,558 --> 00:41:59,338
And that is how adults
never invite you
1004
00:41:59,473 --> 00:42:01,653
to a serious conversation again.
1005
00:42:01,780 --> 00:42:03,480
[laughter]
1006
00:42:03,608 --> 00:42:06,088
I can't take things
serious, man.
1007
00:42:06,219 --> 00:42:08,529
And then it's like...
1008
00:42:08,656 --> 00:42:11,306
I don't know how to, like,
explain it either.
1009
00:42:11,441 --> 00:42:14,181
Like, I'm trying to-
I'm trying to do my best
1010
00:42:14,314 --> 00:42:15,844
to cope-we all are.
1011
00:42:15,968 --> 00:42:17,358
Everybody's trying
to cope right now
1012
00:42:17,491 --> 00:42:19,231
with staying at home.
1013
00:42:19,362 --> 00:42:22,452
And I've gotten further.
I stream everything now.
1014
00:42:22,583 --> 00:42:24,193
And I went through a phase
of streaming
1015
00:42:24,324 --> 00:42:26,074
like drug cartel movies.
1016
00:42:26,195 --> 00:42:27,845
They're my favorite.
1017
00:42:27,980 --> 00:42:29,420
And my favorite thing
about them,
1018
00:42:29,547 --> 00:42:31,327
and I noticed a patterning.
1019
00:42:31,461 --> 00:42:34,161
Every drug cartel leader
1020
00:42:34,290 --> 00:42:37,820
tells the most
amazing stories ever.
1021
00:42:37,946 --> 00:42:39,726
They're fucking
amazing storytellers.
1022
00:42:39,861 --> 00:42:41,471
It doesn't matter
what the story is.
1023
00:42:41,602 --> 00:42:43,742
And I love this part
of the movie.
1024
00:42:43,865 --> 00:42:45,385
I always know
when it's coming up.
1025
00:42:45,519 --> 00:42:47,869
It's usually
when someone owes them money,
1026
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,000
and they're about
to give them 24 hours.
1027
00:42:51,133 --> 00:42:52,443
And they light that cigarette.
1028
00:42:52,570 --> 00:42:54,010
It don't matter
what the story is.
1029
00:42:54,136 --> 00:42:56,786
It's fucking brilliant,
all right?
1030
00:42:56,922 --> 00:42:58,102
"Oh, you don't have my money?
Okay.
1031
00:43:01,361 --> 00:43:03,361
Do you know my favorite story
when I was a little boy?
1032
00:43:05,278 --> 00:43:06,888
The Itsy Bitsy Spider."
1033
00:43:07,019 --> 00:43:10,149
[laughter]
1034
00:43:10,283 --> 00:43:11,853
"You see, every day the spider,
1035
00:43:11,980 --> 00:43:13,420
he goes up the water spout
in the roof.
1036
00:43:13,547 --> 00:43:15,637
Down come the rain
he wash him down.
1037
00:43:15,767 --> 00:43:18,767
He does not know what to do.
He goes right back up the spot,
1038
00:43:18,900 --> 00:43:21,250
and again the rain
washes him down.
1039
00:43:21,381 --> 00:43:23,341
And then one day, the sun--
1040
00:43:23,470 --> 00:43:26,870
the sun come out
and dry up of the rain.
1041
00:43:26,995 --> 00:43:28,555
And that itsy bitsy spider
1042
00:43:28,693 --> 00:43:30,613
makes it all the way up
to the top.
1043
00:43:32,435 --> 00:43:33,995
Now you tell me this.
1044
00:43:35,090 --> 00:43:37,270
If I'm the fucking sun
1045
00:43:37,397 --> 00:43:39,437
and I dry up the rain
1046
00:43:39,573 --> 00:43:41,583
and you make it to the top
1047
00:43:41,706 --> 00:43:44,396
and you don't have
my fucking money,
1048
00:43:44,534 --> 00:43:46,754
how mad do you think
I would be?"
1049
00:43:46,885 --> 00:43:49,095
"Like, whoa.
1050
00:43:49,235 --> 00:43:53,715
That is not the ending
of the Itsy Bitsy Spider."
1051
00:43:53,848 --> 00:43:56,548
[laughter]
1052
00:43:56,677 --> 00:43:58,717
"But I love
what you did there, sir."
1053
00:44:00,463 --> 00:44:02,163
I love it, man.
And, I don't know,
1054
00:44:02,291 --> 00:44:04,901
like, it made me appreciate
Latin culture more.
1055
00:44:05,033 --> 00:44:06,993
That might seem fucked up,
but I want to learn
1056
00:44:07,122 --> 00:44:09,912
more about my Latin brethren
and sistrens, right?
1057
00:44:10,038 --> 00:44:11,208
Starting with language.
I have not--
1058
00:44:11,344 --> 00:44:12,954
I got time on my hand.
1059
00:44:13,085 --> 00:44:15,345
I know I stammered through
that [mumbling].
1060
00:44:15,478 --> 00:44:19,048
That's what happens when you
have big jaws like this.
1061
00:44:19,178 --> 00:44:20,438
[mumbling]
1062
00:44:22,224 --> 00:44:23,314
Again,
I want to learn a language.
1063
00:44:23,443 --> 00:44:24,923
I got a language app.
1064
00:44:25,053 --> 00:44:26,713
Anybody know
these language apps?
1065
00:44:26,838 --> 00:44:29,058
I got one. It teaches me
a new Spanish word every day.
1066
00:44:29,188 --> 00:44:30,888
I just learned a Spanish word.
1067
00:44:31,016 --> 00:44:32,446
Abuela.
1068
00:44:32,582 --> 00:44:34,192
It means "grandma" in Spanish.
1069
00:44:34,323 --> 00:44:35,893
I didn't know that.
1070
00:44:36,021 --> 00:44:37,021
Where I'm from,
we call our grandmas
1071
00:44:37,152 --> 00:44:38,112
the legal guardians. I was...
1072
00:44:38,240 --> 00:44:40,330
[laughter]
1073
00:44:40,460 --> 00:44:41,940
KIRY: The hardest part right now
for me, I think,
1074
00:44:42,070 --> 00:44:44,030
is just dealing
with the, you know,
1075
00:44:44,159 --> 00:44:47,159
loss of my grandma.
She passed away in 2010.
1076
00:44:47,293 --> 00:44:48,903
Yeah, sacrifice.
1077
00:44:49,034 --> 00:44:51,214
I sacrificed
some really good years.
1078
00:44:51,340 --> 00:44:52,820
And...
- MAN: Grandma for your mom?
1079
00:44:52,951 --> 00:44:54,431
With my grandma for a mom.
1080
00:44:54,561 --> 00:44:57,911
When I came back
after high school,
1081
00:44:58,043 --> 00:44:59,613
kind of, you know,
spent time with her,
1082
00:44:59,740 --> 00:45:03,000
and get to know her and,
you know, reconnect with her,
1083
00:45:03,135 --> 00:45:05,395
I didn't know at the time
that'd be the last years,
1084
00:45:05,528 --> 00:45:06,968
you know, in my grandma's life.
1085
00:45:07,095 --> 00:45:10,925
So I felt like
I kind of sacrificed
1086
00:45:11,056 --> 00:45:13,316
those last years
kind of really being with her
1087
00:45:13,449 --> 00:45:16,579
and get to know her to, uh...
1088
00:45:16,714 --> 00:45:20,464
to reconnect with somebody
who didn't want that connection.
1089
00:45:20,587 --> 00:45:22,937
And so that kind of always,
1090
00:45:23,068 --> 00:45:25,718
um--that weighs heavy on me.
1091
00:45:25,853 --> 00:45:27,683
The one person I really
kind of wanna make proud
1092
00:45:27,812 --> 00:45:30,472
or the person I really
wanna just see me shine
1093
00:45:30,597 --> 00:45:32,947
in any moment
can't witness that.
1094
00:45:33,078 --> 00:45:35,168
And now-so everything I do now,
1095
00:45:35,297 --> 00:45:38,387
there's always that weight of,
you know, she'll never see it,
1096
00:45:38,518 --> 00:45:41,388
and the people who get
to enjoy it are the people
1097
00:45:41,521 --> 00:45:43,441
who didn't invest in it
or care about it.
1098
00:45:44,698 --> 00:45:46,398
And then another thing people
1099
00:45:46,526 --> 00:45:48,526
are worried about too
is quarantine weight.
1100
00:45:48,658 --> 00:45:50,658
Everyone's gained
quarantine weight.
1101
00:45:50,791 --> 00:45:52,141
And I don't know what it is.
I'm just getting
1102
00:45:52,271 --> 00:45:54,231
mature and more confident.
1103
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,540
I love my body size now.
I fucking love it.
1104
00:45:57,667 --> 00:46:00,057
Like, I look in the mirror
every day, I'm like,
1105
00:46:00,192 --> 00:46:04,202
"I have a fucking king's body."
You know what I mean?
1106
00:46:04,326 --> 00:46:07,066
This is a body
of a 16th century king.
1107
00:46:07,199 --> 00:46:10,199
[laughter]
1108
00:46:10,332 --> 00:46:13,032
Like, my body
is very Robert Baratheon.
1109
00:46:13,161 --> 00:46:14,381
This is very...
1110
00:46:15,773 --> 00:46:17,433
I just look in the mirror
1111
00:46:17,557 --> 00:46:20,297
and say kingly shit
and turn myself on.
1112
00:46:20,429 --> 00:46:22,129
Like, "Feed him to the lions."
1113
00:46:22,257 --> 00:46:23,297
Like, I just...
1114
00:46:25,391 --> 00:46:27,261
"More wine, whore."
1115
00:46:28,481 --> 00:46:30,141
My mom's like,
"Call me another whore,
1116
00:46:30,265 --> 00:46:32,395
I'm-a whoop your..."
1117
00:46:32,528 --> 00:46:33,528
"Silence."
1118
00:46:35,140 --> 00:46:38,190
I don't envy in-shape dudes
no more 'cause now I get it.
1119
00:46:38,317 --> 00:46:39,707
I've been learning stuff
about evolution.
1120
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:42,020
I understand now
why I'm shaped this way
1121
00:46:42,147 --> 00:46:43,667
and why y'all are in shape.
1122
00:46:43,801 --> 00:46:45,891
Dude, you look like you
in great shape, right?
1123
00:46:46,020 --> 00:46:46,890
You got muscles.
1124
00:46:47,021 --> 00:46:48,461
Women like that.
1125
00:46:48,588 --> 00:46:50,018
When they see you,
they look at you like,
1126
00:46:50,155 --> 00:46:51,845
"He can give me babies
that can climb trees."
1127
00:46:53,854 --> 00:46:56,074
I don't send women
that kind of pheromones.
1128
00:46:56,204 --> 00:46:57,824
My pheromones say,
1129
00:46:57,945 --> 00:46:59,425
"He took the elevator
instead of the stairs."
1130
00:46:59,555 --> 00:47:01,985
Like, that's the pheromones
I give.
1131
00:47:02,123 --> 00:47:03,563
But it doesn't bother me, sir,
1132
00:47:03,690 --> 00:47:06,130
'cause I know my body
is the perfect body
1133
00:47:06,258 --> 00:47:09,088
for laying on fur rugs
and being fed grapes.
1134
00:47:09,217 --> 00:47:14,007
Like, this
is a perfect governing body.
1135
00:47:14,135 --> 00:47:15,785
Your body is in shape
1136
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:17,620
so you can build my pyramids
and fight my wars.
1137
00:47:17,747 --> 00:47:19,617
[laughter]
1138
00:47:22,970 --> 00:47:25,320
My personal trainer hate it
that I have this new philosophy.
1139
00:47:25,451 --> 00:47:27,541
He's like,
"No, dude. That's not--
1140
00:47:27,670 --> 00:47:29,110
you're going to die." Like...
1141
00:47:29,237 --> 00:47:31,277
[laughter]
1142
00:47:35,287 --> 00:47:36,807
Oh, fuck.
1143
00:47:36,941 --> 00:47:38,201
I think I'm the only
Black man with gout.
1144
00:47:38,333 --> 00:47:39,423
I don't know.
1145
00:47:42,772 --> 00:47:45,082
I've been enjoying myself
on this quarantine.
1146
00:47:45,210 --> 00:47:46,650
Some shit has been rough
1147
00:47:46,776 --> 00:47:48,466
'cause now they do
a lot of deliveries.
1148
00:47:48,604 --> 00:47:52,614
Some places
you can't get delivered,
1149
00:47:52,739 --> 00:47:55,479
because it's the experience
you love.
1150
00:47:55,611 --> 00:47:56,401
And I'll share this
with you guys.
1151
00:47:56,525 --> 00:47:58,345
I'm not ashamed of it.
1152
00:47:58,484 --> 00:48:01,574
There's one place I miss dearly.
Panera Bread.
1153
00:48:01,704 --> 00:48:05,974
I miss the full white experience
1154
00:48:06,100 --> 00:48:07,360
of a Panera Bread.
1155
00:48:07,493 --> 00:48:09,543
I fucking love it.
1156
00:48:09,669 --> 00:48:13,459
It is my day
to enjoy white bliss, enjoy--
1157
00:48:13,586 --> 00:48:15,756
I go in there
and act a white-ass fool.
1158
00:48:15,893 --> 00:48:18,163
I wear my white garbs--
1159
00:48:18,286 --> 00:48:20,716
cargo shorts,
sandals with no socks.
1160
00:48:20,854 --> 00:48:23,474
I go in there,
1161
00:48:23,596 --> 00:48:25,636
and it's the experience I love.
1162
00:48:25,772 --> 00:48:27,472
There's always
a friendly white bitch
1163
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,470
named Emily there to greet me.
1164
00:48:30,603 --> 00:48:33,483
"Hi. Welcome to Panera."
She's happy.
1165
00:48:33,606 --> 00:48:35,386
She's kind and patient.
1166
00:48:35,521 --> 00:48:37,571
She offers me free samples.
1167
00:48:37,697 --> 00:48:39,307
She's like,
"Have you ever had quiche?"
1168
00:48:39,438 --> 00:48:41,658
I'm like, "No."
She knows I'm a fat-ass lie,
1169
00:48:41,788 --> 00:48:44,488
I've had quiche,
1170
00:48:44,617 --> 00:48:47,187
but she still lets me indulge.
1171
00:48:47,315 --> 00:48:49,705
They got Norah Jones
and Michael Buble playing.
1172
00:48:49,839 --> 00:48:51,319
It's a vibe.
1173
00:48:52,930 --> 00:48:55,850
But today's a special day.
I'm here for a special treat.
1174
00:48:55,976 --> 00:48:59,756
I'm here for my broccoli
cheddar soup in a bread bowl.
1175
00:48:59,893 --> 00:49:01,423
This shit is amazing.
1176
00:49:01,547 --> 00:49:04,377
I look forward to this day.
1177
00:49:04,506 --> 00:49:06,766
But when I went back home
to Ohio,
1178
00:49:06,900 --> 00:49:09,160
I didn't know
there was such a thing
1179
00:49:09,294 --> 00:49:11,124
as a Panera Bread in the hood.
1180
00:49:11,252 --> 00:49:12,432
I didn't know.
1181
00:49:12,558 --> 00:49:13,468
I wasn't ready.
1182
00:49:13,602 --> 00:49:16,002
Not the same experience.
1183
00:49:16,127 --> 00:49:19,127
I don't know who does
the gerrymandering in Ohio,
1184
00:49:19,260 --> 00:49:20,090
but they have not...
1185
00:49:20,218 --> 00:49:22,258
[laughter]
1186
00:49:22,394 --> 00:49:24,704
They didn't-they gerrymandered
Paneras in the hood.
1187
00:49:24,831 --> 00:49:27,491
Somebody fucked up, royally.
1188
00:49:27,616 --> 00:49:29,176
And don't get me wrong.
1189
00:49:29,314 --> 00:49:30,184
Y'all know
I've checked receipts at Target.
1190
00:49:30,315 --> 00:49:31,355
I've worked at Taco Bell.
1191
00:49:31,490 --> 00:49:32,930
I'm not trying to dog it.
1192
00:49:33,057 --> 00:49:35,617
I love my people.
Not at fucking Panera.
1193
00:49:35,755 --> 00:49:38,495
Listen, I will not
tolerate it in the hood.
1194
00:49:38,627 --> 00:49:40,797
I'm sorry, man. You can shake
your head all you want.
1195
00:49:40,934 --> 00:49:45,034
I will not be robbed
of my Panera experience.
1196
00:49:45,156 --> 00:49:47,506
'Cause as soon as I go in,
there's no friendly bitch
1197
00:49:47,636 --> 00:49:49,286
named Emily there to greet me.
1198
00:49:49,421 --> 00:49:51,471
There's Tasha,
and she already has an attitude
1199
00:49:51,597 --> 00:49:52,727
for some shit
I didn't do to her.
1200
00:49:52,859 --> 00:49:55,429
[laughter]
1201
00:49:55,557 --> 00:49:57,557
It's not my fault
you let your boyfriend
1202
00:49:57,690 --> 00:50:00,350
drive your car when you at work
and now he ain't text you back
1203
00:50:00,475 --> 00:50:01,515
and he's late picking you up.
I didn't do that, bitch.
1204
00:50:01,650 --> 00:50:02,780
Bring me the menu.
1205
00:50:02,912 --> 00:50:05,002
[laughter]
1206
00:50:06,742 --> 00:50:10,752
She's mad.
Her eyelashes has attitude.
1207
00:50:10,877 --> 00:50:13,227
I don't even get
a free sample of quiche.
1208
00:50:13,358 --> 00:50:14,968
They don't have quiche.
1209
00:50:15,099 --> 00:50:16,449
There's a bitch
that works here named Quiche,
1210
00:50:16,578 --> 00:50:17,708
but there's no...
1211
00:50:19,668 --> 00:50:21,708
there's no quiche.
1212
00:50:21,844 --> 00:50:23,504
And they're doing shit I know
1213
00:50:23,629 --> 00:50:25,329
that's against
the company policies
1214
00:50:25,457 --> 00:50:28,677
'cause there's no Norah Jones
or Michael Buble. No.
1215
00:50:28,808 --> 00:50:31,548
Somebody connected their phone
to the fucking radio,
1216
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:34,600
and they're playing trap music
in a fucking Panera Bread.
1217
00:50:34,727 --> 00:50:37,157
[laughter]
1218
00:50:37,295 --> 00:50:40,465
This ain't no Panera vibe.
1219
00:50:40,602 --> 00:50:42,562
And I'm trying to keep
it together as a Black man.
1220
00:50:42,691 --> 00:50:44,351
I'm trying
to stay strong for--
1221
00:50:44,476 --> 00:50:46,386
'Cause I know
they're just working their job.
1222
00:50:46,521 --> 00:50:48,351
I'm trying to stay strong.
I'm not trying to go full white.
1223
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:51,570
I keep it on--you know,
I don't go full white.
1224
00:50:51,700 --> 00:50:53,350
I don't do white-
extra white shit
1225
00:50:53,485 --> 00:50:55,525
like get butternut squash soup.
I don't do that.
1226
00:50:55,661 --> 00:50:59,751
That's taking things
way too far.
1227
00:50:59,882 --> 00:51:01,932
But I'm trying
to be very patient.
1228
00:51:02,059 --> 00:51:06,889
I order my broccoli
cheddar soup in a bread bowl.
1229
00:51:07,020 --> 00:51:08,720
And when I go up to the
register, there's a young man--
1230
00:51:08,848 --> 00:51:10,718
you know, the back--
the little serving station?
1231
00:51:10,850 --> 00:51:12,160
There's a young brother
back there,
1232
00:51:12,286 --> 00:51:14,026
and he informs me
1233
00:51:14,158 --> 00:51:16,808
that they don't have
any bread bowls today
1234
00:51:16,943 --> 00:51:20,343
and would I like
to eat my soup in a bowl.
1235
00:51:20,468 --> 00:51:23,298
Are you fucking kidding me? No.
1236
00:51:23,428 --> 00:51:24,908
Out of a bowl like a peasant?
1237
00:51:25,038 --> 00:51:27,688
You want me
to eat my soup out of a bowl
1238
00:51:27,823 --> 00:51:29,783
like a fucking foreigner? No.
1239
00:51:29,912 --> 00:51:33,262
I might as well tie my hands
behind my back
1240
00:51:33,394 --> 00:51:35,274
and eat it with my fucking face.
1241
00:51:35,396 --> 00:51:39,226
Give me a fucking bread bowl.
1242
00:51:39,357 --> 00:51:41,397
I'm containing my anger.
1243
00:51:41,533 --> 00:51:45,103
I'm containing--I-Again,
whatever, man. Put it in a bowl.
1244
00:51:45,232 --> 00:51:47,892
They assemble my soup,
and they give it to me,
1245
00:51:48,017 --> 00:51:50,537
and I'm holding my anger in
'cause I'm realizing,
1246
00:51:50,672 --> 00:51:52,412
"Kiry, you can't
do this right now.
1247
00:51:52,544 --> 00:51:54,244
You're a Black man.
You about to turn into a Karen."
1248
00:51:54,372 --> 00:51:55,202
I didn't wanna...
1249
00:51:55,329 --> 00:51:56,769
[laughter]
1250
00:51:56,896 --> 00:51:58,246
I didn't wanna go
and ask for the manager,
1251
00:51:58,376 --> 00:51:59,896
but they fucked up,
1252
00:52:00,029 --> 00:52:01,939
'Cause I know
non-bread bowl protocol.
1253
00:52:02,075 --> 00:52:04,945
In a sense of an emergency
that a Panera Bread
1254
00:52:05,078 --> 00:52:06,948
is tragically
out of bread bowls,
1255
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:10,780
you get bread
to go with it on the side.
1256
00:52:10,910 --> 00:52:12,650
Not a bread bowl,
but you can still dip
1257
00:52:12,781 --> 00:52:14,311
those soft middles
into the soup.
1258
00:52:14,435 --> 00:52:16,565
It's still
an enjoyable experience.
1259
00:52:16,698 --> 00:52:19,308
So I go back up there
and I inform the young brother,
1260
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:21,750
"Hey, you forgot my baguette."
1261
00:52:21,877 --> 00:52:26,357
[laughter]
1262
00:52:26,491 --> 00:52:27,931
He looks confused. He was like,
1263
00:52:28,057 --> 00:52:29,887
"Wait. I thought
you wanted that for here.
1264
00:52:30,016 --> 00:52:31,926
Now you want me to bag it?"
I said no.
1265
00:52:32,061 --> 00:52:34,281
[laughter]
1266
00:52:34,412 --> 00:52:37,282
I would like a baguette.
1267
00:52:40,592 --> 00:52:43,602
He still looked confused,
so I pointed to it.
1268
00:52:43,725 --> 00:52:46,505
He was like, "Oh, my nigga,
you mean bread?" "No, I don't."
1269
00:52:46,641 --> 00:52:48,731
[laughter]
1270
00:52:48,861 --> 00:52:49,951
You mean bread?
1271
00:52:52,734 --> 00:52:56,094
I'm mad. Ooh, I was livid.
1272
00:52:56,216 --> 00:52:57,516
Ain't that
a word white women use?
1273
00:52:57,652 --> 00:52:59,222
"I was livid. I was...
1274
00:53:01,743 --> 00:53:04,053
I was outraged."
1275
00:53:04,181 --> 00:53:05,831
I was like,
"What's going on, man?
1276
00:53:05,965 --> 00:53:07,395
Everything is out of order
and in disarray.
1277
00:53:07,532 --> 00:53:09,102
What's going on?
Like, is something...
1278
00:53:09,229 --> 00:53:10,969
You guys okay?
Y'all short-staffed?"
1279
00:53:11,100 --> 00:53:12,490
He said, "No. Our manager
didn't come in today.
1280
00:53:12,624 --> 00:53:13,764
He hasn't been
coming in at all, man.
1281
00:53:13,886 --> 00:53:15,796
He's been gone for like a week."
1282
00:53:15,931 --> 00:53:17,851
I was like,
"What? That's fucked up.
1283
00:53:17,977 --> 00:53:18,977
Why is he not showing up?"
He's like, "I don't know, man,
1284
00:53:19,108 --> 00:53:20,848
but he had a doctor's note,
1285
00:53:20,980 --> 00:53:22,760
so there's nothing
we could do about it."
1286
00:53:22,895 --> 00:53:24,375
[laughter]
1287
00:53:24,505 --> 00:53:26,805
He got a point there.
1288
00:53:26,942 --> 00:53:28,602
I'm Kiry Shabazz.
Y'all been amazing. Thank you.
1289
00:53:28,727 --> 00:53:30,767
[cheers and applause]
1290
00:53:34,254 --> 00:53:36,524
I think in comedy,
the best gift you can have
1291
00:53:36,648 --> 00:53:39,958
is breaking that mold
of what people expect.
1292
00:53:40,086 --> 00:53:42,086
When someone sees me onstage,
1293
00:53:42,219 --> 00:53:44,219
they're probably gonna have
an idea of what's gonna come out
1294
00:53:44,351 --> 00:53:46,141
of my mouth or what material
they're gonna hear,
1295
00:53:46,266 --> 00:53:48,566
'cause I have that look.
When people see me,
1296
00:53:48,703 --> 00:53:50,923
there should be
just buffoon music playing.
1297
00:53:51,053 --> 00:53:54,063
Just like boomp--boomp--boomp,
boomp--boomp--boomp.
1298
00:53:54,187 --> 00:53:56,057
But then I love like
kind of shocking people,
1299
00:53:56,189 --> 00:53:58,279
like hitting them randomly
with a Thoreau quote
1300
00:53:58,409 --> 00:54:01,239
or popping something out of
left field that they don't know.
1301
00:54:01,368 --> 00:54:03,068
And, again,
looking back at my grandma,
1302
00:54:03,196 --> 00:54:06,106
it's a nod to her,
having that toolkit
1303
00:54:06,243 --> 00:54:08,553
of being able to pull
different shit out,
1304
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:11,810
that's a weapon,
and I love that. I love that.
1305
