First of all, now you're talking about a whole new design sequence.
Well, no, you said it had different openings.
It does.
It does.
You have different designs, right.
But, I mean, at first we just want to launch with the basic, you know, movement was by Jeffie.
Okay.
Because I could see the, are you wearing it?
Is that a Jeffie?
Yeah.
How would I go to the restroom in this?
Do I sit down, which makes me feel a little awkward?
No, you pull it up.
You pull it up, and you can pull it up and you sit down or you stand up.
I feel, no.
And if you have, if it's a different design, maybe you pull it up and we put a couple snaps or something.
Maybe we put a zipper on the front.
Well, now you're just back to me in pants.
Never mind.
Just, I don't want one.
You don't want one.
Let's do the interview.
I don't want one.
Joining us on Chew of the Fat here at the Blaze Studios is David and Tamala Man.
30 minutes later after you introduced us to your moo-mooh.
Thank you.
Thank you for.
What we did?
You guys started it.
Okay, my bad.
We're literally chewing the fat.
Thank you.
That's what we're here for.
It's so good to see you guys.
It's great to see you.
I really miss seeing you guys.
It's true.
I have caught a little bit of your internet post and your live stream.
So nice to see that you're doing well.
Thank you.
You're up and walking around and moving?
You had both knees or just one?
Both knees replaced me.
That's what I thought.
Both knees, right?
Yes.
I've had one and I need another one soon.
I want to do it.
But the worst one, which was my left, I'm still trying to get my motion back.
The first three months is the most critical.
If you don't get the, you know, that motion of that knee is you pretty much,
I don't want to break it to you, but, you know, after three months, whatever you got, you got.
I've been working it, but I just don't like, I've been working it hard.
No, it has to break.
I mean, you can give me all excuses you want, you know.
I mean, I'm just like, I'm just telling you, as a medical professional.
As an advocate.
As a medical professional.
She's actually, I mean, she's done great on them.
I mean, she's, I mean, she worked hard.
What's happening is my side, the side muscle here.
Yeah.
is kind of giving me the blues since we've straightened it out.
I'll tell you another thing that you've got to be careful of.
This screwed me up on my knee replacement.
Hello, welcome to knee replacement talk on chewing the fat.
When I had my left knee replaced, what they did is when they straighted it out.
You know, they put the knee on straight.
Right.
You know how they, I mean, they cut the bones and then they put it on the bone cement and the whole thing.
But they put it on straight, right?
Your legs don't grow straight, right?
Your legs are kind of bent or kind of crooked.
everybody grows a little bit different how they grow so you got to kind of instead of just making it turn a little bit they just put it on straight so now my arch and ankle are all screwed up because of how how the leg was straight now so now you're going to need an ankle replacement and an arch replacement really what i need what really what i need is an entire body replacement i'm just hoping for that i'm like well now i'm going to stand in face and that's the lord to just they could do that then you see the show get out the movie the movie good at they could do it for a full
body replacement. That's what I want. That means you just take your brain and switch over to another
body. I'm good with that. You, oh, God. Pick, pick, give me, give me some choices. What if you
came back as like somebody like Kirk Franklin? How would that look? I want to choose. I want to choose,
so I don't want to just, I just want to see. I don't want to look in the mirror and go,
holy crap, not that guy. I mean, you could come back as somebody like RuPaul. I mean,
then your Moomoo would be great. I'm okay. I'm okay with being rude. Okay, see, I don't know. I would
choose, I'd probably be Idris Elba or somebody.
I could be, I just, no problem.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Who would you be?
Who would you be?
Michelle Obama?
Oh, good Lord.
If you say Michelle Obama, I'll kick you out.
I will be Beyonce.
Okay, there you go.
I can live with that.
Oh, baby.
You're my Beyonce anyway.
You're my Queen B anyway.
Don't worry about that.
That's just silly talk.
That's just silly.
That's just silly.
It's okay.
So anyway, I'm glad that you're doing great.
I saw you rehab and everything.
Thank you.
It's a struggle.
I get it.
You've lost a bunch of weight.
You look great.
And now you're miss uppity up looking down on people as an ambassador for weight
watchers.
I'm not looking down.
I'm encouraging people to join me.
Oh, that's right.
That's what it is.
Not looking down.
Honestly, it's to get people to join me because it can be done.
And it's not a diet.
So it's a lifestyle change.
It is a lifestyle change.
And I'm really enjoying it.
And she's, hey, I must tell you, this is the first time that I've seen
this dedicated to it to where it's like...
Are you sold on it with her?
I'm not.
No.
She's on the wrong.
He's not, but he doesn't need to be.
Wow.
He doesn't need to be.
Honestly, my family is supporting me.
I know I'm trying me.
Hey, me.
I'm not doing that.
It's okay, Jeff.
It really is.
It really gave me a push to do this on my own.
So I'm really excited.
They are encouraging me.
My family have been very good, great encouragement,
curisers, but me pushing and encouraging myself,
because I'm doing this thing for me.
So they won't have to take care of it.
And if I got involved, then it changes.
If he's doing it, it would totally change and it's going really well.
Good.
And so as an ambassador, you just are trying to bring people on board to the Weight Watchers
plan and speak for them.
Are you doing any, any, you're just doing social media stuff for that?
I'm doing social media and I did some commercial things.
Okay, great.
And now they have a big tour that's coming up next year that they want me to be a part of.
Nice.
With Oprah and all that kind of good stuff.
You're looking down on us now.
No, I'm not.
But I just want people
know it can be done.
How much have you lost so far?
50 pounds.
That's fantastic, right?
That's great.
So I'm just like, I'm really geeked
that I'm really can have what I want to have
and still lose weight.
You'd be surprised what losing weight does
to your love life as well.
But we're not going to get into this.
Moderation.
I'm learning, really learning moderation.
No, when I love on.
Wait a minute.
I'm talking about the food.
I'm talking about the food.
Oh, food.
Okay.
Oh, that part is great.
The sex part is like.
With him, though, right?
We're talking about with him.
Yes, Jeff, yes with him.
This 31 years, I don't need another partner.
I'm great.
No, I wasn't talking about another partner, just somebody to play around with.
See, we went into that last time.
We're not playing like this.
How do we always wind up off subject with you?
Because Jeff is bad.
We went from knee replacements to being somebody else.
He's like a good, bad person.
So I appreciate you guys stopping him.
Good to see it.
It's good to see it.
And you both have been busy, though, right?
I mean you went on, the last time we spoke, you were getting ready to go on tour.
Yes.
It was incredible.
Right.
Yeah.
We had like a hundred and something sold out shows with Madis Farewell and our characters that have been over 13 years with us being on stage together.
I laughed every night.
They called me the audience cast member because I laughed as if I hadn't seen what was going to happen.
That's good though.
It was.
That's fresh.
That's good material.
The laughter is keeping me.
young. You do look young.
I do.
Beyonce.
Thank you. Thank you.
Queen B.
I appreciate it.
Queen T.
Yeah, Queen T.
Queen T. Baby.
Oh, yo.
I am all about that.
No, but it was, it was
what was crazy is to be doing a play
in arenas. Yes.
It was like,
we're doing plays in arenas now.
Right.
And it was hard on the voice, but it was
to see the audience
like go out every night and just
you kind of had to wait on the audience
because they slowed the show down a little bit
trying to get them to stop.
Catch up, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Catch up a little.
Yeah.
Did you do it mostly in the round
or were there seats all around behind you too?
I know.
Did you do it in the round or were they to close off the back?
They kind of closed off.
They were just shooting out front.
They went pretty far back
but it was crazy.
It was amazing like every night
to just see that.
It was a wild fact.
be back.
Good.
I think we're coming back.
I didn't need tickets or anything to any of the shows, you know, I was busy.
Well, you got, we come back.
Look at the time, though.
I was busy.
You was busy.
I didn't see it does.
You're right.
You're so worried.
Yeah, no.
And I don't know how to purchase tickets to those kind of things.
Right.
I'm sure you get, they, I'm sure they're handed to you constantly.
Oh, my.
Because I know you stay so busy.
Everyone is giving you tickets, Jeff.
Right.
I just said I don't have the time to go to every show.
I got to make sure that you come to a show.
And you're going to have to be up front.
Hey, y'all write that down.
You'll write that down.
We come back close.
I would love it.
I would love it.
I would love for you to see it.
I'm sorry.
And I apologize.
No, no, no, I apologize.
We apologize.
We didn't reach out.
Well, you know what?
We'll have to buy Moommu's.
I guess I accept your apology.
Okay.
You guess?
I guess I accept your apology.
Whoa, what is a guess?
You're like, you are.
Speaking of my Moos, Moos by Jeffie, which we've talked about here on chewing the
fat several times because it's a you know it's an idea that I've had a million dollar idea that I've
had that I haven't given away yet and I'm starting my million dollar one I've talked about it so I guess
I have given it away um you've got a new clothing line that you started right Tamlamaman collection
you can go to Tamlaman.com yes I love and it's an active wear can I find that on Pinterest oh yes
you can't Tamillamamancom Tamillamman.com and it's from sizes 12 to 32 so it's for
the model. It's for a stick girl.
It's for American
America. It's for America. That's
right. It's for America. The everyday
woman. The everyday woman.
Yes, because those damn skinny
models. They're not real.
Right. They're embers.
I just hate them. Every time I look at them,
I look and I look and I keep looking at them
and I keep looking at them. And I just keep looking at them.
And I just keep saying that's not real. Isn't it? It's not real.
But you keep looking at them. I do. Because I can't believe it's real.
So you don't be looking at the plus size,
models like that? You don't keep looking at them?
I look at that too. I found a problem. Now, I've got
a problem with that. Oh, she's about to go, man.
You've upset your guest. And now I don't know if I can forgive
you now. I'm not
accepting your apology.
Who's next? Come on in.
I didn't. I didn't apologize.
That's the whole thing. You didn't.
You can't accept it. I didn't apologize.
You can't.
So how's it?
All right. I'm sorry.
They're having too much fun next door.
So,
So, Tamla Man
Collection.
Tamlamet collection, it's like active wear where you can do your run your errands in it.
You can go work out in it, actually.
Or you can just look like you want to go work out and actually don't work out.
I don't have a fan of that.
I think most of the women are.
You can dress it up or you can dress it down, but it's comfortable.
It has like some stretch in it so you don't have to worry about being too tight.
Are you sporting some of the collection today?
I didn't wear the collection today.
Oh, come on, Jeffrey.
You just don't be so rude.
The people don't know.
They do, dear.
They have cameras everywhere.
No, but I thought we was doing audio.
Okay, but cameras are out.
The cameras are not.
Oh, okay.
But they are on, damn it.
They're out.
All of them are rolling right now.
Hey, Jeff.
The cameras are.
This is theater of the mind.
But not today.
I didn't put it on time.
I didn't want to be, you know.
You didn't want to be like self-serving today.
Yes.
Thank you, sir.
But you know you wear it a lot.
Are you self-serving at the other times?
Well, yeah.
I mean, I'm just out representing.
I mean, if you're supposed to, yeah, you've got to represent the whole thing, right?
That's true.
I need to see.
you in like a NASCAR jacket
with Tamil Man collection and
Weight Watchers on it. You know what?
That thing everywhere.
Speaking of, they just called me. I wonder what they
wanted. I should have put them on air and just put them on
Blas. Who's that? Weight Watchers? The people from
Weight Watchers. Well, they just said, welcome back.
I heard about your vacation.
It's been lovely. Heard about your vacation. Where'd you go?
We went to South Africa. Just got back the other days.
It was our first time going.
Really? I love South Africa.
It was amazing. We went on
Safari, David, that was one of his bucket lists.
I wanted to go to Safari.
Did you spend any time in Cape Town?
No, we just literally went to Safari.
Oh.
We had to come back so we can do this show today.
They don't have headphones on so they don't hear the gunshots that are being fired,
but just so you know, we fired some gunshots for you.
What?
For the podcast.
For the Safari.
Oh, okay.
How many, did you come home with some antlers?
No, we did not.
We just went to look.
We just looked at them.
Oh.
What's crazy is to be a bad.
Catching them and throwing them back.
No. It's just like what's crazy is to be literally like 10 to 15 feet away from a lion in the wild. This was no petting zoo people. No.
Well, they don't have lions at petting zoos, but go ahead.
It was they, well, they don't do that. No, they don't.
Come here. Well, when I say no.
A little lion. They don't do that. They don't do that.
No, the reason I asked, because when we got back, my daughter said, they didn't have anything you guys could pet like giraffes or anything like that.
Well, you could do that here.
I said, that was no petting zoo.
We were like lions and cheetahs.
And sometimes I felt like it was a little too close for comfort as well.
Yeah, there's some, I mean, there's plenty of footage out there where people do get too close to the rhinoceruses and they start banging on the cars and everything's scary.
We didn't, yeah, we stayed away because there was a mama rhinoceros with my rhinoceros with the baby rhinocuses.
Yes.
And so we were like, nah, we don't want any part of it.
We didn't play around whether we looked at her from a little distance.
So how much time did you spend there?
Four days.
No.
It was a six-day trip and all.
But it was a long flight.
That's all I have to say.
So next time we'll have to go for like two weeks.
I will.
I want to go and stay longer and be able to do Cape Town and some other things.
That's gorgeous.
That's what I heard.
That's really nice.
I didn't do any safari or anything because we were just there for business.
It's the best.
I want to go back.
But I know some people that do safaris and they, you know.
They didn't like it as much.
Well, they come home with trophies.
No way.
They're that kind of, those kind of people.
No, I didn't want to kill anything because I don't eat meat anymore.
So it didn't, I got news for you.
You don't have to eat the meat that you shoot it.
People will get it in for their heads and stuff.
What I mean is I don't want to kill anything that I wouldn't eat.
If you have a stuffed rhinoceros at the house, you know what I ate that too?
We've got a little left.
What I mean is, I don't kill.
I did eat some wildebeests.
Yeah, yeah.
I did have wildebeests for the first time.
I'm going to let that joke go.
Don't put that.
Oh, please.
Oh, God.
Let it.
What were you about the same?
If you give it moment, it'll pass over, dear.
Just give it a second and let it pass over.
So I did eat wildebeest.
Yes, I did.
But it was pretty, you know, it was very interesting.
It wasn't too gaming.
But what are you guys?
I don't like them today, guys.
These men, so that's the thing about being in the room with men.
They just kind of just do a whole bunch of things.
We take over, don't we?
Just a whole bunch of just.
Just like the wildebeests.
Too much.
Thank you.
Okay.
Are we supposed to be talking about me doing the, what's the show?
Well, yeah, we're actually here.
You did the voice on veggie tails, right?
The new veggie tail.
The new veggie tail.
I know.
I got to get your manager is what I have to do.
I've got to get your manager.
There's no reason I should.
I should be like an eggplant or something on the stupid.
That's what he is.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I mean, I don't want to be the eggplant.
Did you try to take my gig, man?
No, I did not.
No.
Oh, you're trying to take my gig?
I should be like, I don't know, the green bean or something.
I don't know.
The corn or, you know.
It was actually my first time doing animation.
And I, at first I didn't know what to expect.
And the hardest thing is just trying to get a voice that's not too goofy.
And keep it.
Yeah.
That's the hard part.
It's coming in two weeks later to record something else.
And let me hear my voice again.
Yeah, remember the character.
So you've done animation before?
Yeah.
Well, every day you're doing it.
I mean, look, I don't like to brag.
Oh, my God.
Don't mean to boast.
Yeah.
It was actually fun.
And so it's the whole veggie tale deal.
We're doing the Christmas gift.
And it's a Christmas show.
So I play the character Mr. Nezer.
Mr. Nezor.
Yeah, be careful when you say that.
You've got to make sure your addiction is right when you're saying that to a black guy.
Really?
Yeah, I mean, you can slip up and who knows what we can.
No.
Oh, my God.
So if I were to say it three times fast.
No, don't do that.
Nezah, Nezah, Nezzer.
I did it.
I think.
Be careful.
We're not fighting, so I guess I did it.
Yes, you did right.
There was no shooting.
Y'all do gunshots on that?
No, he didn't.
So I'm safe.
I'm good.
Okay.
Safe.
No, but it's actually a good, good fun Christmas show for the whole family.
Good animated.
And so my grandkids were like, now we got to go watch all of them.
And I had to tell them, hey, no, I'm only in the new ones, not the old ones.
Not the old ones, not to say that they shouldn't go watch the old ones, but if you want to hear.
They're not as good.
I didn't say that, but yes.
That's obvious.
That's going to be obvious.
They're not as good.
You guys are horrible.
No, we're not.
We're just honest.
So is it available?
Can I watch it out now?
It's available now.
On DVD, on digital download so you can get it anywhere.
And, you know, I actually have fun.
And they're releasing six Christmas songs from the new veggie-tale.
So make sure you pick up the six Christmas song.
Just Google whatever you do.
Did all the characters do their parts in all the songs or was it different?
Yes.
Now, see, I come from a background of singing.
So when I went in, they were used to like, okay,
This is going to take about two days.
Right.
And I was like, is.
Knock it out.
Was that it?
We're done already.
Right.
And so it's just because I was like, I used to sing for a living, guys.
And he actually moves pretty quick when it comes to scripts and everything like that.
Now, me probably took me a little bit more time myself.
Well, you'd want to get it right.
Yeah.
What do you mean?
He gets it right.
He's just really quick.
I didn't even bring a knife or anything.
thing today.
He's just really quick.
Sorry to bother you, Nezzer.
It's actually the character, when I went in, I was like, now, how am I going to play
a cartoon character?
Because everybody's so used to the Mr. Brown voice.
So I had to make sure that the Mr. Brown voice didn't cut through.
But I think we did a pretty good job.
Yeah, let's have to be good.
Yeah, it was a really goofy, kind of nasally, snuffling, you know, all that good stuff.
And so it was really fun.
Look at you.
You see the way she looked at me?
Give me Mr. Brown.
Cara!
See, Cara way up there.
You see what I'm saying?
Yes.
Yeah, he has no nasally stuff to him.
Right.
Cara.
Then when you go back to Nazar.
You know, we really, you know, it's way down here.
And they kind of...
With that with the nasal, no way down here.
Got a fouled to...
Yes.
I'm not trying to steal the eggplant job.
I'm just trying.
He was trying to do the voice.
I'm not doing it anymore.
I don't want...
It's hard out here for a pimp.
I know. Thank you. Oh my gosh. How many times has that been said?
Geez, we live that. That's incredible.
So, I mean, that's fantastic, right? I mean, it's had a lot of fun doing it.
I had a lot of fun doing it. I had a lot of fun.
So what are you doing now other than, I mean, it's coming up on the holidays. Just sitting around doing nothing?
Yes, and then we still have the music. You know, we have the love, the love project that we did, us against the world.
I think we talked about the love. Did we talk about the book when we were here before?
No, the book hadn't been released.
I know. No, because we talked about the, the music.
The music.
But we didn't talk about, we have a book.
I love, our secrets to love marriage and family.
That's again.
Tell me what?
Yeah.
What's the number one secret?
The number one secret is we stay in love with you.
Truth and honesty and be together.
All of that.
None of that matters if you're not in love.
Jeff, what do you mean?
But what is that?
What is that look?
Y'all has just look on his face like, oh, his tongue was like halfway out.
Truth and honesty and be together with each other.
But you know what?
None of that matters, Jeff, if you're not in love.
Right.
But it works.
But what, but.
And it can be.
But what if I, if I, you know, I'm okay with my wife and I'm in love with somebody else.
Do you want to lay down for this segment so we can, I feel like we're about to cancel him.
You want to just lay down on the desk so we can do this because I feel like we're about to go somewhere else.
I'm fine.
All right.
So that's fine.
I'll just sit here and I'll just tell you my.
Go ahead.
Tell us.
And we'll tell you what you did wrong.
So like, what if I go through every day and I really, you know, I enjoy being with the person that I'm married to, but I'm really in love with somebody else.
You know what?
You have a problem.
Yeah.
That's a problem.
A big problem.
But I came to you for help.
So first I would ask you, okay, do you really want your marriage?
And the obvious answer would.
Yeah.
Of course I do.
No, what you want is both of them.
Well, yeah.
And I think that's illegal in the United States.
Not if I don't marry both of them.
Not if you're from Utah.
No, that's not true either.
That's not true either.
That's not true either.
It's funny, but not true.
Dear, you're about to get both of us in trouble.
Well, we're joking.
Fundamentally. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I know it's funny. Plus, if I don't marry him, it's not illegal.
Oh, okay.
I can live with as many people as I want. Let's just get this straight. I can live with as many people as I want.
No, you get not. Yes, you can. We both know. That's not illegal. But if I want to marry them, that's illegal, which is actually ridiculous, by the way.
Just as a side, but that's ridiculous. Yeah, we wouldn't want to be married.
They would go for that? No, but if I wanted to, so what? I agree with, I agree with you. It's just more. It's just more.
I agree with you that it would be a lot more to deal with.
Okay, now, wait a minute.
Let me put this in perspective.
It's bad enough with one wife.
Let me put this in perspective.
Let alone six of them.
Are you, what age are you getting married and have these two women?
Because I can tell you, when you're over 50, you only need one because you only be able to ration this out.
So far.
Yeah, because I'm a, I'm 53 and I'm not about to.
No.
Tag on some others?
No, it's hard enough for just one.
Especially with Cleveland.
I don't know how many times I'm going to get stronger.
Yeah, you don't know how many times I fake the headache.
Try to get out of looking bad.
I can take a pretty good guess.
I've been married for quite a while.
I can take a pretty good guess.
How old are you?
Are you over 50?
I'm 85.
85 this year.
You're just happy you wake up every morning.
Actually, I'm lucky to say I'm 85 because I'm actually about 113.
Well, you look great.
You look good and biblical.
Thank you.
You don't like to talk about age?
No, I don't.
Why?
I'm 53.
I'm 53.
You look great for 53.
You both look great for 53.
Why do you have to put a tag on it for 53?
I didn't say anything.
I don't look 53.
That's the imply like otherwise.
I don't care what you say, jail.
If you weren't 53, you wouldn't look good.
I'm offended.
I didn't say that, but.
Your looks at it.
Well, you look good for 100.
Thank you.
And that's not really true.
For 100 and more.
By the way, you look like crap.
I don't care.
Old you are.
I think, hey, we're going to have to start come and visit him at least once a week.
Oh, more often.
I'm a fan.
I'm a fan. No problem.
Anyway, the book.
Oh, yeah.
We have to keep him on, this is not my show up.
Us against the world, our secrets to love marriage and family.
Yeah.
David and Tamilom, man, please check it out.
We also, the love project is really good.
Okay.
And it's, I mean, it's something, you know, that you probably should play with your wife.
The love project.
The love project.
I should play that with my wife.
Yeah.
It's nice.
Good dancing music.
This is the first time I've seen him, like, get quiet on a subject.
Well, I'm just thinking about it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Because, you know, good dancing.
Oh, it's really good dance.
And the book has some really good life stories.
Can I listen to The Love Project?
Ed, read the book at the same time or do it when it get confusing?
That would be somebody that wasn't interested in something.
Really?
Yeah.
But we did do an audio version as well to the book.
So you could just listen to it.
Yeah, well, who's reading?
Are you sharing lines?
Yes.
Well, actually, we tell the book is, we wrote the book.
book from her perspective and from my perspective.
So we're both tag teaming.
And she's got what, about nine of the ten chapters?
No.
Oh, okay.
I was just checking.
They're split.
Yeah, are they?
They're split.
Yeah.
Okay.
I just do what she tells me to do.
I understand.
Oh, we do.
I'm saying, I believe you.
There's not a chance.
There's not a chance.
That's true.
It is not a chance.
I wouldn't dare a lot of you.
She, you know, I do what I'm told.
I can't even have a, my face won't even lie to you.
She has me trained just like I want her.
Every liar says that, but go ahead.
He's not trained.
So you should have seen that on my face.
Somebody more important than the interview.
That's my mom.
Let's see what she wants.
Mom, you're on live radio, so don't say anything out of the ordinary.
How can I help you?
I love you.
We love you too, Mom.
That's stage fright right there.
We love you too, Mom.
What's going on?
This is Jeff.
Jeff said what's going on?
We're on eating the fat.
Chewing the fat.
We're eating the fat.
She's thinking about the wildebeest.
I know.
I'm going to get back to the wildebeest if you want.
Hold on, mama.
We'll be right there.
We'll get back to the wildebeest in a second.
What does she need?
She's something more important with you.
She's cold.
She did.
And lonely.
You guys okay.
Coming by.
What are you doing?
Cold and love.
Did she come on the family tour with you?
No.
You know, I need to find my mom a husband.
It doesn't matter.
Why are you looking at me?
Why are you looking at me?
I'm just trying to find.
I have to stick with the one I got.
I'm trying to find to somebody.
Okay, here's what you need to be.
Over about 70.
Okay.
Good health.
She's not in good health.
I can't have somebody to bring something she don't have.
I mean, come on.
Okay.
I've got some love music going behind you.
Okay.
Good health.
Good health.
Above the age of 65.
Lovely age of 65.
Pause the music for just a second.
What if mom finds, you know, that 40-year-old?
Well, I think he can stay.
I think it's been a while since she's been intimate,
so we may need to get somebody a little older.
I wouldn't want to ruin her.
It might ruin the 40-year-old, but go ahead.
True.
Yeah, but he has to have a great,
now, by this time, he should be retired.
Yeah.
So they could travel with a lot of money.
He needs to be financially responsible.
Yeah, financial responsible because I'm not doing it.
Right.
I've already, I'm taking, yeah, we're doing it now.
Wow, why do you hate your mother?
I love my mother.
Okay, go ahead, whatever.
Jeff, is your daughter your youngest?
My youngest daughter is 12.
You got a baby.
Why does she look at you like that?
That's judgment the way she looked at you.
No, I just mean he has a baby.
You at your age have a 12-year-old?
That's, that's, I'm just saying what she was thinking.
That's judgment.
I mean, that's judgment.
That means his wife is younger.
No, that means.
That's absolutely true.
Yeah.
I'm not messing up.
Please.
And she knows her days are.
You know, I just didn't want to say anything inappropriate, so I just shut out.
I wasn't saying anything.
I did.
Because our baby is 29 that was at the door.
Right.
Which means we were young.
We weren't older when we had kids.
Yeah, well, neither was my wife.
Anyway.
Thank you.
I could come to actually do your show a lot more often.
I really could.
I'm embarrassed for you.
But it's like you just have to let it wash off, you know, like this run down like a duck right off from the space.
Oh my God.
That's good.
You know, sometimes you don't know what to say.
Thank you for having us.
Oh, I love you guys.
Make sure you stay tuned in for the whole veggie tails.
Yes, and check out Tamlaman.com for the Tamlaman Collection.
Sizes 12 to 32.
Hey, it's active wear.
You would really enjoy.

Where in the Moomoo?
If you like eggplants like I do.
Yeah.
Waring your moo-moo.
So what's the family tour, though?
The family tour.
Now, I'm being told to my ear, I'm supposed to ask you about the family tour.
The family tour was our whole family.
We went on tour.
So you're not doing it now.
You already did it.
We're going to probably do it later on next year, later on 2020.
Again?
Again.
We can probably do it again.
I miss this too.
What's going on?
I mean, you don't get out much.
I appreciate you sending me tickets, though.
You're in these walls.
Appreciate you invited me, but no problem.
We did invite you.
Maybe your assistant didn't give you the memo.
Oh my gosh.
I'm talking about throwing somebody under the bus.
I'm not an assistant.
Okay.
Not assistant, but producer.
Yeah, whatever.
Well, excuse us.
You didn't have to get offended.
No, he just gets mad because he's just, you know.
He knows he gets mad because he's just my do boy.
Oh.
Don't take that.
Be nice.
So anyway, you're on tour with the family.
You took the whole family.
Everyone?
The whole family?
So, okay.
Not everyone.
We took three of the three out of the five of kids.
So the other two kids are upset now?
No, one lives on Broadway, so she wasn't upset at all.
She was doing her own thing.
Okay, good for her.
And then it was these two young ladies here, then our son.
And then my other daughter, she's schoolteacher.
So she's locked in.
At home.
She's not.
She's not good now.
Okay.
What do you mean?
She's not good.
No, she's a school teacher.
She does great work.
Yes.
She works with the special.
She works with the special kids.
Yes.
That's what I said.
She does special work.
Thank you.
I know.
You're a prophet.
Something like a prophet.
I'm not trying to make fun.
I'm just saying.
Well, anyway.
Did you bring any of the grandkids?
No.
They came out to a couple of cities to see us.
Okay.
Come to see the show.
But the whole tour was really fun.
Tam saying, you know, the gospel of me.
music and then they didn't do any of the love we did we did we had part of that on the
we thought about doing a whole segment but we didn't it was a family show we were going to do like
this first christian porn scene but we didn't know how to mix the two call me I'll help you set
that seat no problem I can make that happen thank you so much for having this has really been
great that's when it's so awkward to where she wanted to end the pain
chewing the fat.
It is chewing the fat. Thank you.
You can eat it if you want, but we get back to the wildebeest.
But I ate it already.
Mama,
sometimes you don't set yourself up, dear.
Are you saying, y'all being nasty.
See, that's what I say nowadays you can't even talk straight.
I know it.
Thank you.
Minds are so filthy.
Everybody gets butt hurt over the littlest thing.
We're running her good Christian ears.
We're sorry, dear.
I know.
You want to pray or something?
I didn't even think about it like that.
Y'all was terrible.
In your show, now, serious business.
I know we're joking around.
Did you ask if anybody needed, you know, advice and went out of the audience and took questions?
Well, we had some things that before the show, like meet and greets, where we talk to people sometimes.
And then doing the show, we had this special moment where we kind of ministered to the couples.
Right, right, right.
Yeah.
Why am I not at this show?
Encourage families to stay together.
not quit and give up on each other.
Couples. That really is important.
I mean, over the past 30 years, I mean, if we want to talk serious, over the past maybe even 40
years, we've really devalued the family and a couple staying together and we've made it easy
for someone to, oh, I'm not, I don't feel good today, divorce.
Right.
Screw you.
Goodbye.
Well, that's what in the book we talk about it, divorce not being an option for us.
And we just say for us, we really, you know, we say unless.
We would hope.
Yeah, unless you're being abused, divorce should not be an option.
Right.
You know, because it's so easy.
Let's figure out how to make it work.
Now, if somebody's hitting you, being abusive or physically abusive.
I mean, there's always disclaimers.
I get that.
But for the years, over the years we learned that so many couples that were married for,
just my grandma and grandpa, you know, or I mean, my grandma and grandpa married for, I don't know, 70, 75 years or whatever.
I guarantee you, 75, you know, all 75 weren't bliss.
Of course.
We've been married 31 years and she wanted to leave me to first six.
I mean, the year I was born was probably the worst year they had.
Probably.
Probably.
There's no question about that.
I know.
Oh, God, our daughter gave birth to that.
So I'm sure of that.
She threatened to leave me our first six.
It was every argument, I'm leaving.
I'm good.
And my mom was that.
I really hate that.
Yeah.
I do.
I did too.
It was a fear of it.
But it's just kind of like you say people, we feel like quitting is the easiest thing to do.
When really it's not.
It's not.
Because the thing is, life is a circle, and it's going to, if you don't pass the test,
well, whatever you're going through with, who are you with, it's going to come around again.
And whatever you think is going to happen, and I have been through a divorce,
and it's not, it's never, it was, mine was a, mine was a happy one.
Can I just say probably about 95% of the, was your fault?
It was really not happy.
Yeah, well, thank you.
You said it wasn't as dirty as most people can get really dirty.
Right. And yet it's still really stunk.
Yeah, I mean, specifically.
It's not fun.
It's not easy.
If you have kids involved.
Yes.
And whatever you think your life is going to be, that's not what it's going to be.
Divorce doesn't make that happen.
Oh, no.
Because we have the grass is greener on the other side syndrome.
Yeah.
And you get over there and you discover that they fertilize it with doo-doo.
Right.
That's why I say you don't have to marry them all.
That's what I'm saying.
What?
Again, thank you so much for happiness.
I'm trying to bring.
this thing to a close. She's trying to get the hell
out of here bad. So I'm going to let
you go. David and Tamila, man.
Thank you. You know, I love you both.
Man, I love coming here.
I'm telling you, this is the greatest. You can follow
us at David and Tamla Man for Instagram
and social media. Everything is together, David and Tamla Man.
Okay, we got it. Thanks.
Thank you. Appreciate it. Is there anything else
you want to hawk? Yes.
I have a new underwear line coming at.
We can talk about wearing underwear. You know, we were discussing that
before we even started this interview. Let's not. Let's not. No? Because the moomoo, I think
you, we... I'm pulling out the guns. I'm going to put underwear into my moomoo. So get me one
and I'm definitely wearing droll. Well, that you could, I mean, I'm assuming that you're
wearing underwear now, but I don't know that. So it's just up to you. It's a personal choice.
I would hope so. Why? Because. I'm a black guy. What does that mean? What does that mean?
A black guy? You haven't heard? It would be more comfortable. You haven't heard?
Is it like a law that black guys have to wear underwear that I'm not a
aware of?
Oh, you don't know?
Again, thank you so much for having us.
This has been a wonderful time.
I'm not aware of this.
He didn't get the black guy memo.
Somebody tell him.
Jeffrey, thank you so much.
I was always told by my mom, look, that's what you got live with it.
Don't stop whining.
But somebody will find you to love.
The black kids, the parents tell them, put that up.
What you stopped.
Okay.
We have to go.
Thank you for having to.
Watch veggie tails
Anything else you got the hawk?
I didn't know.
I mean, I guess Merry Christmas.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Yes, happy Thanksgiving.
Merry Christmas.
Happy New Year.
Because I don't think we'll be back before the years out.
You know, I'm sure you guys won't have us back.
I want to now.
I want to have to, but I'm sure they won't have us back.
So you know, we have to least wait six months before.
I mean, we've got security at the front door.
You can come by any time.
He barely let us in today.
No, he barely let us in this time.
Seriously, come by any time.
And it was cold.
outside.
He opened the door about six inches
where only his eyes and nose can get out
and ask us, what do you want?
See, he must have heard.
He thought new the man's coming.
He must have heard, yeah.
What did you call a mentorage?
The mantarage, just all here, yeah.
You know you've started something, so that's what you're going.
Man, thank you for having it.
I hope to see if we're, I'm happy to have you back
before the holidays.
Let's talk Christmas.
We're definitely going to have something to sell.
So, you know, whatever.
I'm going to have the Tamilman collection on sale.
And mu-moos.
Yeah.
With underwear.
Right.
And we're coming up on, oh, dare I say, Black Friday.
I mean, we're coming up on the, you know, the Friday.
The Friday after Thanksgiving, the big sale.
Yes.
You know, heaven forbid we say Black Friday.
It's fine.
Are you having the big, you know, Tamil Mac collection?
That's big day sale.
Of course.
Black Friday.
Thank you.
Why don't they have white Wednesday?
I don't know, but I'm all for it.
Mexican Monday.
I think they have that already.
Is it?
Yeah.
Taco Bell has that.
Everybody should have something.
I don't discriminate.
I think my head just started hurting.
You guys play too much.
I'm just trying to figure it out.
Yeah.
Okay.
So what kind of sales can we look forward?
Well, you know, really is it's just buy your products now and don't worry about the sales.
Yes.
You should get products for you.
now and because you're so thrilled with it now,
you're going to purchase it on sale later for other people.
Mm-hmm. Right?
Yeah.
You're welcome.
He just came up with a wholesale idea.
Whole sales, bitch.
They're telling him to wrap this up because...
No, he's telling you.
He's just wrapping things.
He's saying he wants three more minutes out of me.
I don't know why.
Really?
Yeah, that was my first wife's problem.
She needed three more minutes out of me.
Sorry.
Oh, I told you.
You kept letting her down?
Oh, yeah.
Sad.
Yeah.
If you...
He didn't tell him about the black guys.
No, I did.
That's what I'm saying.
I need to know about the, I need that.
My producer says, you know, three more minutes.
For what?
I don't know.
I don't know why we need three more minutes.
Well, I thought they started recording before we actually came.
Did I mention that we were doing veggie tales, right?
Because they would be very upset if I didn't mention veggie tales.
You're doing the guy.
Mr. Nezor.
Yeah.
I'm not excited about him doing the character.
I thought that was really great.
So you want to open up a whole new thing for you?
animated characters? I would love to.
I want to sing animated movies. So whoever
yes, I would love to do some animated. And she wants to
sing in a foreign language.
But I don't know one. I have to learn it.
That's what I, that's,
that's on my bucket. You do know you can't
sing. Why does it need to be a foreign language?
She wants to sing in Spanish. I just want to sing to
somebody. I mean to share with someone else, you know.
Think about it. When you're talking like,
when you're listening to the album and then a
French guy comes up to you and says something like,
Same thing.
Like, okay, so let me tell you.
Like, say if I walked up and say, hey, girl, how you doing?
Oh.
But if a French guy say, well, baby, how are you doing?
If a French guy said that, you'd go, you're not a French guy.
I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
Exactly.
Why are you trying to pretend you're a French guy because that's not French?
Oh, my goodness.
But didn't that sound much more convincing?
Not really.
Well, no.
Okay.
What if I say, baby?
wanted to make he love
some love, baby.
That's better?
With me at home alone.
See, she likes that.
Which animated voice would that be?
I want to know what I'm going to be.
To be honest with you,
this isn't part of the stretch deal,
but I want to know exactly what you think I missed
about the black guy that I was supposed to know.
I knew you were coming back to say,
it's just a joke, Jeff.
Well, if...
But I mean, I feel like...
No, it's not a joke, dear.
I feel like he was serious.
No.
See, I feel like he was serious.
For real.
Yeah.
I'm going to leave the room so you guys can discuss it.
Let's just say if I was Asian.
I got news for you.
The door is not locked.
Anyway.
Oh.
Anyway, just.
Just just say.
I felt like he's coming for me.
If I was Asian,
right.
The name would be one hung low.
Good.
night everybody have a good night thanks for coming we appreciate it god bless you
