Now today, we have the honor of interviewing a comedy legend.
When I tell you I watched her special, and I ain't peeing my pants since like the second, maybe the third grade, maybe twice.
You know what I mean?
Like, I peed in my pants because I know her.
I know how funny she is, but she
still gets funnier and funnier.
She's a queen. She's a legend.
She was here
before. She's an alumni.
Then she came out and sold out the goddamn
Apollo Theater. She's been doing this for
30 plus years. She's a legend, an icon.
She keeps getting better. I am so
proud of her new show that's coming up, and we're going to
talk about it. We're going to talk about a whole bunch of things.
We're going to get into it right, motherfucker, now.
We're talking about the one, the only, motherfucker, now!
Now, off top, I got to ask you this question.
You're in a fire.
Not the California fires.
You're in an imaginary fire, right?
Imaginary fire fire And then you
You
You escape right
You get to the safe zone
And then there's two people down there right
You got
You got two bottles of water
One bottle of water you drink
And there's
The other bottle of water
Could save somebody
You gotta pour it on them
But it's the whole bottle of water
You can't pour half on one
And half on the other one.
Who the fuck are you talking about?
Wait a minute.
He wrote this shit down.
Wait, wait, wait.
I ain't even had a drink in a while.
You got a bottle of what?
You got a bottle of what?
So you made it, but there's two friends.
There's two friends, right?
Yeah.
Two friends and me.
And you.
You survived. So you got a choice of which one to pour it on. Now, I'm going to tell you who the two friends are.? Yeah. Two friends and me. And you. You survived.
So you got a choice of which one to pour it on.
Now, I'm going to tell you who the two friends are.
Oh, they're on fire.
They're on fire.
And you drink one bottle of water.
And you drink one bottle to save yourself.
I can pour the other one to save the other one's life.
Like putting on a thing.
Okay, okay.
So this one.
Now, let me tell you who the friends are.
You really need to get that speech in bed when you check out.
That's what it is.
You.
It's dyslexia. It's dyslexia.
It's dyslexia.
Tell me something.
What's wrong with this motherfucker?
Okay.
So you ready to know who they are?
Okay.
One is Paul Mooney and the other is Dave Chappelle.
Which one do you pour the bottle on to save them?
And which one do you let just, they got to go?
I'm probably drinking the other bottle of water too.
And let them both burn up.
Because I can't make that decision.
So they both got to go.
Save me, save me, I choose me.
I definitely didn't expect that answer
Okay
Now another scenario
And then we're going to get into the interview
You
On a boat
These guys get bit by a catfish
You know that shit
You know that shit that you get bit by
And then they got to pee on you
Jellyfish
So
Here we go by and then they got to pee on you. Jellyfish? Yeah, jellyfish. Alright, so.
Here we go.
We're already at the pee fucking
place.
Goddamn, Lloyd. Let a bitch get a drinker.
Before you ask me
to pee on you, baby.
Yes, I will pee on your womb.
If that's what you want,
baby.
Tell mama what you want baby These are two of your friends Tell mama what you want baby
Okay
So these are two of your friends
Alright so now
You want to know who the two friends
You got one pee left
To save a life
I got
You got to pee on somebody
To save a goddamn life
Okay
It wouldn't be the first time
Are you ready to know
Who the two friends are?
Yeah, okay.
Robin Harris or Mark Curry?
Well,
I would probably
pee on Robin Harris.
To save him? Yes.
Okay, so Mark Curry's out of here.
Yes, I've already peed on Mark Curry.
Okay.
Just kidding. Just kidding.
Just kidding.
So let's get straight into the Netflix special.
Last time you was here, you was talking about it,
and then you went and you did it.
I believe she did tell us Date Chappelle.
What's this?
Jamie, what is that?
Whatever you asked for.
Is this what I asked for?
Yeah.
Okay, wait a minute.
Let me show you
another clip.
You know,
I went to all them parties
in the 70s.
I left my cups out
all the time
just waiting for
a motherfucker
to root for me.
And it never happened.
I wasn't meaning.
Hold on, let me take a drink.
Oh, that's delicious.
Thank you.
What is that, Jamie?
What?
Dr. Grapefruit.
Okay, cool.
Goose.
So let's talk about the Netflix special.
Yeah.
I know we spoke about it before, but let's reiterate the conversation for those who didn't see that interview.
So how do you get the call?
Dave Chappelle gives you the call and says, I want you to do this.
Or Netflix gives you the call and you give Dave Chappelle a call?
Well, it was very rando.
You know, like I hadn't seen Dave in years.
I think the last time I saw him in person was backstage where Eddie did the Saturday Night Live, you know, coming back after the 25-year thing.
I came out to New York to watch the filming of that.
And I saw him there, and then I hadn't seen him for a while.
Then, you know, corona happened, and he asked me to come out to Yellow Springs,
out to his theater in the cornfield, right?
And I was like, really?
You know, because it wasn't like, this was random.
So I grabbed my daughter, my security.
I grabbed my daughter, and we went to Yellow Springs.
And when we got there, then I found out, you know,
we're going to do a little show and stuff.
And, you know, I don't get easily intimidated.
I wouldn't say I was intimidated.
But we were in a cornfield.
Right.
In Ohio.
And Yellow Springs,
wherever the fuck that was.
Before people knew about
those shows that were happening.
And for hundreds of white people
who had fought to have Dave
not build this thing.
And you don't know if you're going to a weirdo,
hostile environment,
not that it was all good.
There's a little stuffy.
Who cares?
While on stage,
Dave says to my daughter
that I'm going to get you,
I'm going to get your mom a Netflix special.
I'm going to pay her a lot of money and stuff.
Now, he told this to my daughter.
Well, number one rule of black life on America is don't lie to my fucking kid.
See, you can lie to me, but don't lie to my fucking kid.
And now I got to fuck you up.
You can fuck who you are.
Well, so when he told her, I knew that this was really probably going to happen.
And then it did.
You know, he put a lot of thought into uh the opening you know when he was
in the airport and all that and for me to have a netflix special produced by dave chappelle and it
was a big hit and very proud of it and i think that was a flex yeah especially i watched your
special so many times but there's something that I have to ask you.
Because you were stuck in the airport six hours, but you wasn't mad and you wasn't drunk.
Like, that didn't go together to me.
Like, why wasn't you drunk?
Oh, because you were supposed to do the special that night.
First of all, I don't get drunk like I used to.
Okay.
Okay?
Mm-hmm.
So I wasn't drunk.
And, I mean, what good is it going to do me for me to go off in situations like that?
It's not going to help it.
I'm going to jail.
And it's going to be headlines and all kinds of shit.
So I eat a lot of shit these days that I used to slap a bitch for in public back in the old days.
But they sue you now.
And all this kind of shit took all the fun out of fighting a bitch in the street.
You used to just fight a bitch.
No repercussions.
You get your ass whooped.
Maybe you jump me.
We do it again.
And that's a whole, you know, lawyers get involved.
So I just try to be cool and keep everybody else cool.
And plus, comedy is a form of nervousness as well.
And, you know, when it looks like it's starting to get tense in the airport,
a nice thing to do is to relieve people of that for a little while
so everybody doesn't bite each other's head off.
So glad to provide shit like that.
Did you see Kanye and his girl at the Grammys?
Somebody get him. Somebody get him somebody get him why the fuck is this why why and why why is this necessary why is this necessary somebody get him and he just said some real fucked up and ratchet shit about Kamala lately that was very
unappreciated.
And you know what? This is why I say
about go back to fighting.
Back in the day, somebody would just simply
go beat his motherfucking ass.
But nobody can do that anymore.
You know, damn it, bring
back fighting. You ain't got to
shoot nobody. Bring back good old ass
woman in the street, because he could use a little ass-slippin'.
But you don't think that was kind of fly?
What?
What did you just say?
My bad.
Wait a minute.
She's going to start the ass-slippin' now.
Wait a minute.
Did I say what?
My bad.
I ain't say shit.
Then she was fly.
No, not she was fly.
That situation.
That was like some pimp shit, like dodomite shit. I don't say shit. Then she was fly. No, not she was fly. That situation. Like, he kind of, that was like some pimp shit, like dodomite shit.
I don't know.
No?
Nothing about him in the last 10 years has been fly.
But God bless him.
He's still a musical wizard.
I'll give him that.
Right.
You know?
And I think he's really got his hands full with that little Northwest.
Here she come.
You know what her nickname is?
Mm-mm.
Nori.
Mm-mm.
Is that serious?
Did you do the DNA test on her?
No.
You got a lot of names out there, Nori.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Because her name was Norv and, you know.
He said it on the show, right?
He did say it.
He said it on the show.
He said it.
He said it on Breakfast Club, I think.
Well, very good.
On your special, you say you want to bring back old slang words, right?
You mentioned a couple of them.
What's some slang words that you didn't mention on the show that you would like to bring back?
Well, I might have mentioned it, so I can't remember.
But, like, boss.
We used to say boss in West Coast.
And we're like, oh, that was a boss party.
That was a boss car.
He's got a boss car.
I think people still say that.
Boss, you know.
Right?
We used to say that back in the day, child.
That's boss.
He got a boss crib.
Girl, his crib is boss.
We used to say that.
What's some of the old words you want to bring back, E?
Fuck, I still say the same shit. I like she said, do it. Let's do it. I say that. What's some of the old words you want to bring back, E? I still say the same shit.
I like that she said, do it, let's do it.
I like that.
Yeah, instead of all this fucking, let's just say, let's do it.
You want to do it?
Like a fucking?
I'd rather do it to you if you said that than say, you know, you want to fuck a bitch or something.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
I'm like, ooh, yeah, let's fucking do it.
You know what I think?
Come on, guys.
What's up?
What's up?
Off the road, yeah, what's coming back?
That's a little information for you boys out there.
Wait, that's bad?
That's a good one.
That's bad.
Yeah.
Bad, like bad, like this.
Oh, goddammit, goddammit.
It's a noise.
And you see me debusting it over there.
You're icy, icy.
You rappers and shit ain't the only motherfuckers want to flex out here.
Are you messing with Donald Trump or not?
First of all, Paul Mooney, who you mentioned earlier,
always told me that I was going to end up on,
pardon my language,
the niggas to watch list,
like him, right?
So I have ended up there.
I'm a nigga to watch.
And being that I am,
I am not at liberty to speak on
anything political
that may give me a treason case.
It's not my part of the field either.
Whatever I want to say, it is not right.
I mean, it is right, but it ain't right.
You know what I'm saying?
Let me twist the question a little bit.
How do you feel about rappers performing at their inauguration?
Now, that's not political.
This is entertainment.
Hey, do what you want to do.
Suffer the repercussions.
If it's good publicity, God bless you.
If it's bad publicity, you got to suck it up and take it.
Do what you want to do.
Can I ask you this?
Because a lot of them are saying it was about the money.
Like, I think it was like $1.5 million.
Clearly, said entertainer does not need $4 million.
Said the entertainer was there?
No.
She said said.
Oh, said.
I told you to get this motherfucker in night school.
I told you that the last time I was there.
Oh, it's about the education as well.
That's fine, baby. So, oh, that's the last time I was there. Oh, it's just for education as well. That's fine, baby.
So, oh, man.
Yeah, I just wanted to know your opinion on that.
Yeah, I'm trying to tread lightly on shit like that.
No, I respect that.
No, but hold up.
Yesterday, I took my kids to see Dog Man.
Who's the number one movie in the country?
I was so happy to hear your voice today.
Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew.
Thank you. Number one movie in the country. God was so happy to hear your voice today. Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew. Thank you.
Number one movie in the country.
Got to make some noise.
You can hear my voice playing the part of Millie in the movie.
And thank you so much.
You recognize my voice?
Immediately.
And the kids love the movie as well.
Ka-ching.
Yeah.
So I would like to ask you,
airport etiquette.
Oh my God.
And if you don't know what he's referring to,
please check out my
Netflix comedy special
streaming now called Town Business.
It covers a lot of things
on the plane.
Because listen,
if my neighbor doesn't put his shoes on to go to the bathroom, I judge him.
I judge him.
Like, my relationship changes.
One people do it all the time.
The flight attendant told me the other day.
One people do it all the time.
Go to the bathroom in their socks.
Ooh.
On the plane.
I see somebody go barefoot. Ooh. Barefoot. I was like, oh, no. they socked on the floor. I've seen somebody go barefoot.
Barefoot. I was like,
oh, no, but piss on that floor.
Britney Spears went
barefoot into a gas
station bathroom.
Are you fucking
kidding me?
Damn.
Can you imagine?
Don't put that on camera.
This is a Dominican server right here.
Is that my sandwich?
Okay, first of all, in my defense to the people, this has probably never happened before.
I don't know if anybody's ever eaten.
Oh, yeah, we've had people eat on the show, yeah.
Just keep it real.
Well, and I always do a little eating segment
on my Instagram all the time,
but that is not why this sandwich is here.
This sandwich is here
because I'm a fucking alumni,
and I know what these motherfuckers do.
This little drinking right here is nothing.
It's a fucking game.
That quick time,
that's where the shit
goes dark. And I'll
have a dinner engagement after
this. And I'm really trying to
go. And so
that is why this is here.
I promise I'm not going to go in.
I'm going to take a few bites
to cushion the motherfucking liquor
because I'm no fool.
God damn it.
God damn it.
She's a pro.
That's right.
She knows it. God damn it. You know,
Women eating is pornographic
though. A lot of people like to
watch me eat on my Instagram.
I don't know why.
Okay.
Boris was watching her live today.
He said that you had the hot tub on camera.
Boris was like,
she's about to go and take a bath.
And then I clicked off.
I took my gown and threw it down and shit. And I clicked off. I took my gown and threw it down and shit.
And I clicked off.
He was upset.
Too bad.
You should have caught me when I had my only fans.
Lenny was on your only fans, right?
Yeah, I had the Savage X Fenty lingerie ambassadorship with Rihanna for two years.
That's right.
Now you clearly know that.
I wasn't ready.
Now I wasn't ready.
Okay, this is my last right there.
Okay.
And that's it.
Okay.
I'm ready for you, motherfucker. Okay, that's it. Okay. I'm ready for you, motherfucker.
Okay, that's good.
Now, now.
Can I take it?
Yes, baby, thank you.
After everything that you've been through, a goal of yours was, I don't know if it was a goal of yours, but you wanted to headline the Apollo.
How was that for you?
Thank you.
You know, it's emotional to even talk about.
Wow.
Let's start with the fact that
I'm a older, single, black female from the West Coast who sold out the most iconic historical black theater in the world to me.
Goddamn, Lisa.
For black entertainers.
The Apollo.
You think about, you know, I had been to the Apollo before.
I had been backstage before.
I'd been upstairs in the dressing rooms.
I'd written my name on the wall.
I'd rubbed the tree.
But I never thought that I was going to perform there.
But you had performed there before?
No, I had only been there.
Your first time there performing?
Wow, as a headliner? Oh, that's a, Your first time there performing? Wow, that's a headliner?
That's great.
Thank you.
Yeah, I sold it out, and I also brought with me to pay homage to the history of the Apollo.
I surprised everybody and brought back Kiki Shepard.
She came twirling out, and she still looked good as fuck.
And that was, you know, made everybody very excited.
And God willing, you know, we're going to be doing this again in May,
just in time for Malcolm X's 100th birthday.
So I'll be back.
And they told me, because the guy who is sort of like the general manager of the Apollo,
he was running around backstage saying,
oh, you're making history, you're making history.
I'm like, what?
I mean, I know it's a big deal to me.
You know, this is a big deal to me.
Why is it a big deal to you?
He said, no, you don't understand.
There hasn't been another black female comic sellout to Apollo since 1968.
Wow.
When Moms Mabley did it.
Wow.
I was like, oh, my God, what?
Yeah, so that was great.
Just to see my name on the marquee, and it's not superimposed on AI or some shit.
You know, to really see my name on the marquee was a really great thing for me.
Just so you know.
Thank you, New York.
Yes, yes.
Just so you know, I got one platinum album, four gold albums.
I'm born and raised in New York City, and I have never sold out the bottle by myself.
Oh.
I have a lot of accomplishments on my own.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was very happy for you.
Thank you.
For a New York artist, it's a big deal.
Yes.
So the fact that you're coming from all the way from New York.
That's what I'm like.
The love, I didn't know I was going to get it like that.
The love from the East.
And it takes years to me to curate a relationship in New York
if you're from the West Coast.
Right.
Comedically.
Let me stop you for one second.
For some reason, Oakland and New York feels like the same motherfucker.
Oh, it's the crime, baby.
That's why.
Oh, it's the crime.
No doubt.
So, you know, Apollo was a very, very, very big deal for us.
And I limited it to just hip-hop, and that's not fair.
For any New York East Coast artist, and the fact that you came all the way from there,
and you stood there by yourself and stole that motherfucker out, man, that is a big accomplishment.
Congratulations.
For real.
That is a big accomplishment.
But here's something else that's crazy.
So my daughter's father was a comedian before me.
He used to tour with Bernie Mac and shit.
Oh, wow.
And he had been on the Apollo years ago as, you know, they have the amateur,
but then they have a professional comic that comes out, gets paid, and that's it.
So he was one of those.
So he hadn't been in the Apollo doors in like 40 years.
Wow.
So I brought him back with us and brought him back,
and he was like, I never thought I'd be walking through these doors again,
you know, because you'd be on the West Coast and shit like that.
And it was just great for the whole family.
Thank you, New York, again!
Me, me, me, me, me, me, me! that and it was just great for the whole family. Thank you New York again! Me and Pun sold it out but then we added
other artists so I don't even know.
No, just me. It was just you, yes.
No, no, no. You did that. I give you that.
So
now we got the Paramount.
The Oakland show.
Now tell us, tell the people that
has never been to Oakland
the Paramount Theater. Well just tell us, tell the people that's never been to Oakland, the Paramount Theater.
Well, just like New York has the Apollo, Oakland has the Paramount Theater.
It also has the Fox.
And the Fox is a great theater chain.
You know, Fox Atlanta, Fox is all over the country.
But the Paramount Theater is like the pinnacle.
It is the biggest artistic venue in Oakland,
and it's, I think, a historical landmark,
and it's legendary,
and you've seen everybody from, you know,
the Nicholas Brothers on up to, you know,
Stephanie Mills, The Whisperer, Al Green.
Everybody has performed there.
And they used to have this thing called the Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame.
And people like Calvin Lockhart, Diane Carroll, they would come to the big award show.
And I stood out in front of this theater all my life and just looked at people going in
and looked at people going in every now and then, buy a ticket to something and go in
to see The Whispers
or, you know, whatever like that all my life.
I performed there three times before with other people.
Right, exactly.
The first time I performed there was with Louis Dix and Sinbad, okay?
The second time was with John Hinton, Overton, and Bernie Mac. Wow. And the third time was with john hinton overton and bernie mack wow and the third time was with
dl but then this was the time i came and it was my name on the marquee i don't know what's going
on the lord is showing out with me that's all i can say right that's well deserved what are you
talking about yeah well our show was about giving people their flowers. And we know we gave you your flowers before.
Yes.
But we're giving you different flowers.
We gotta give you more flowers.
Oh my God.
We're giving you more flowers,
and this is a different flower.
It's another.
You know, everyone in the world wants to say,
give people their flowers now because of Drink Champs.
We don't mind.
Yeah.
So, hey, give me.
Yes, yes, yes.
Paul, you alumni back now?
Huh? I'm on it. Thank you, baby. I feel like I'm at the prom. Paul, you alumni back now?
Huh?
I'm out. Thank you, baby.
I feel like I'm at the prom.
Yeah, you're not finished fucking up?
And I love this.
It's very sexy.
I know y'all making a fucked up list.
You're not finished?
You're finished fucking up?
All right.
Just so you know, those are the people that write QuickTime and Slime.
Those guys.
They make it bad for everybody.
And the Colombian over there.
And by the way, if Ice come in here, shit's going here that's going to look does that's that's oh my god yeah that's for the alumni
yes that's right oh i get a little better oh another this is a pin how do i do it i don't

and come to understand how it helps inform the ways
in which we experience

Let me say something.
That's one of my favorite movies.
I hate that people kind of downgrade.
It was great.

What the fuck is wrong with these people?
I don't like that they did it.
And by the way, you know where they went in Queens?
That's my neighborhood.
I stole a bike right there.

It was.
They got mostly everybody from the original one.
They said we couldn't get Sam, couldn't get Louis, Anderson, and of course, Matt Sinclair.
That passed away, rest in peace.
You know, but everybody else, they got out there.
It was great.
Plus, our costume wardrobe person.
Was the first one?
The first black female to win an Oscar
for wardrobe.
Oh, shit like that.
And she's been dressing Eddie for years
in movies and all kinds of stuff.
Anyway, what's the next question?
Hold on, because I want to say something about that.
How was it being on that set with all
that fucking comedic fucking funniness?
Was y'all seeing each other and just snapping?
Comedic royalty. Or y'all was each other and just snapping? Comedic royalty.
Oh, yeah, I was like being professional.
I'm glad you asked.
Mm-hmm.
I had been guilty myself of talking shit about Tyler Perry in the past.
I had been guilty myself of saying little shitty things.
But after getting the opportunity to go to work every
day on the Tyler Perry
studios and see what this
man has done and see how
many people he has employed
and to see that the stars
who he has some
of the sound stages named after
have made many
movies in Hollywood and Hollywood
ain't named a soundstage after Nell Wonder,
but to go to work every day and see the Oprah Winfrey studio,
the Whoopi Goldberg studio, the Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee studio,
the Sidney Poitier studio, you know, the Whoopi Goldberg studio,
you know, to see this every day, it did give
you a sense of pride. And
don't forget that Ruth
has clothed
all the extras and
everybody for coming to America.
So the whole vibe was just
a colorful African royalty
set and stuff
like that. And it was great. It was one of the greatest
experiences of my life.
And I don't give a fuck who don't like the movie.
The shit was funny.
I don't give a fuck neither.
Yeah, fuck you.
Fuck you.

No shade? No, it's just, you know, I think they actually both do be fighting for or speaking on women's rights in the industry.
Right.
And that's where I join in on that.
So, you know, I only answered the question because I had to answer the motherfucking question.
Right.
But I'm really right, you know, with both of them in different ways and stuff like that.
I think they're great actresses and all that kind of stuff.

Across the country, cops called this taser the revolution.
But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.
Cops believed everything that taser told them.

No, no, don't do that.
Where's the fragrance available?
What stores?
The fragrance is called Iconic.
I'm very allergic to a lot of people.

She answered it.

Of course
That's it
We gotta take a shot though
We gotta take a shot to love Yeah We gotta take a shot to love.
Yeah, let's take a shot to love.
I don't know.
I have an icebox where my heart used to be.
Why?
Because until a motherfucker come along with a blowtorch and a flame that is willing to
melt the icebox and put in the work, that's where it's going to be.
But if you want a bitch, make it be known.
If you want a bitch, motherfucking step
and be confident and don't be
a little pussy and don't be insecure
and stuff like that. And boss
bitches need love too.
Shit. And you motherfuckers need to get
your dick out of your hand, get off your mama's titty
and go back to the way
it used to be that men need to step
to women. We don't dance no more.
You motherfuckers go out to the club.
The men hang with the guys.
The girls hang with the girls.
It's fucking stupid.
I thought you go out to get bitches.
But you don't.
You go out there and hang out with your boys.
The whole shit is stupid.
She says some real shit.
Word, real shit.
It is, you know.
Motherfuckers talk about,
uh,
I just,
okay.
Motherfuckers be talking about you're intimidating,
intimidating.
I met Tamika Mallory
the other day.
She's ill.
At the Trayvon Martin
Foundation event.
She's been on it. She's a whole boss.
Nah, she's dope.
Is she intimidating?
No.
Some man stepped to her, wifed her,
they got a fucking kid because he's not intimidated.
Stop being a bitch and step up for the boss bitch that you want.
Whether she's older or younger,
if she's doing things with her life
and stuff like this,
quit sitting around
waiting for a bitch to come to you.
Do it like you used to do in the old days
and go get the bitch you want.
Quit being a punk.
God damn it.
I'll take a shot for that.
Yeah.
Gotta get the point.
I'll take a shot for that.
This is my second shot.
Hold on.
Wait, wait.
No, he's cheating.
No, I didn't.
You cheated. You were supposed to drink that shot cheating You cheated You were supposed to drink that shot
You were supposed to drink that shot
Yes
I'm not scared of you motherfuckers
Cause I had
I had three bites
And two in the sandwich
I'm gonna ching ching you
Okay that
So
Before we get straight into the
Other part of the interview
What other part?
The other part where everything goes Yeah I want I want people to know that if they ever sit on an airplane with you, I want you to teach somebody airplane etiquette if they're sitting next to you.
They do not close the shade because you like to see the shade up when you're going up and down, correct?
What Noriega is referring to is an excerpt from my Netflix comedy special, Town Business, that I told you all about earlier.
And he's referring to a segment where I refer to myself as a self-appointed unofficial air marshal.
Self-appointed unofficial air marshal.
I like that.
I like that.
I like that.
You're deputized.
Right.
By myself.
But there's just things that I think it's very arrogant to fly with your window shade down before you even get up in the sky.
That's true. window shade down before you even get up in the sky. Like, you got so much confidence
in this motherfucker that
you don't even want to look out the window.
Make sure you're actually flying.
Always plunging to the ground.
I just, I don't understand.
You don't have to leave it
open all night, motherfucking day
or whatever, but bitch, let's get
up. Take off your
and then you can pause it bitch, let's get up. Take off your beard and come down.
Let's get down.
Open it back up on the way down.
I think that's so
white.
I think that's very
white. Very arrogant
to fly without looking out the
window. Now see, am I
going to be in trouble for that?
No, I agree with you.
Because I'm not scared.
Okay.
So, Mr. Lee right there, the Dominican, he sits next to you.
Which one's the Dominican?
The Dominican right there.
Oh, yeah, I was looking at you.
He needs his papers, too.
Can you help him out?
He worried.
Ice, ice, ice, baby.
Ice, ice, baby.
Well, we have to have a prenup, but I'm down if you are.
Okay.
He is fine, though.
He aged.
He aged.
Yeah.
I don't give a fuck about that. I'm just saying.
So he sits next to you.
He got on flip flops.
He got on flip flops with no socks.
But he don't cut his toenails.
I don't know about that part.
He don't cut his toenails.
He's putting up my shit.
So he got on flip flops with no socks.
He sits next to you.
And then he got on tank tops.
And you can see the deodorant thing hanging from his head.
The dingleberries in the deodorant thing hanging from his head.
The dingleberries in the deodorant.
And he tries to close the door.
The window shade.
The window shade.
How does Lunell react to that?
The old Lunell would have asked was there any other
motherfucking seats available
that could maybe switch.
There usually is not.
And then I would have
just probably
looked at him for about 45 minutes
straight in his motherfucking
side of his fucking face.
All right. straight in his motherfucking side of his fucking face. What could I do?
You're 30,000 feet in the air.
I've already almost
had to take a plane down from having to fight
in the air. I don't want to do that.
Wait, true story? Yes.
You've got to tell a story. Say it on the Netflix special.
Yeah. Say it on this
special. No, no.
No, no. But, no,
I had an argument with somebody on
the plane, and if I hadn't
stopped, they was going to put the plane down
and take me to Guantanamo Bay and
shit like that.
Ice, after you, too?
No, he's, no, I'm from Arkansas,
you idiot.
She said,
The fuck they start
deporting motherfuckers from Arkansas?
It happens.
Jesus Christ, Nuri.
Nuri, you don't put out any of your music.
Okay, so who would offend you more?
Let me ask some goddamn questions.
Who would offend you more, someone wearing
no socks Let me ask some goddamn questions. What would offend you more? Someone wearing no
socks
or
someone
pulling down the shade?
What would be
your breaking point?
The shade.
More than the stinky feet.
You didn't say stinky.
I mean, everybody's feet stink.
Is it stinky or stinky?
If your shit is
stinky or sticky?
What?
What'd you say?
What?
Stinky or sticky?
Stinky.
Stinky.
Everybody's feet stink.
Like the fucking odd couple.
Yes.
Exactly.
That's our shit.
Yes.
So the shade down
more than a bare foot
would offend you more?
Mm-hmm.
You can be barefoot.
I mean, I live in Vegas.
People are barefoot all the fucking time.
I mean, at least the feet are going to be up on her body.
Wait, wait, you were barefoot?
Well, you know, flip-flops and sandals.
Oh, okay, okay, I get what you're saying.
But the window is the window for me.
And I used to just sit there and just take it and just be seething the whole time.
But now I just be like, excuse me, can you open the window just so we can get up in the sky and stuff?
And again, when we get ready to land, please, I have anxiety.
Tell them that, they'll be like, whoa.
It's going to spaz out on me.
Right.
I don't care what they think.
Fuck them.
Didn't you just go on the road with Cat Williams
no but I did go see him
recently
he's back on the road
great
got the tickets
sold out
sold out
at one point
the industry was trying to point Cat
as a crazy person.
What did you think about that?
I refuse to answer the questions on the basis of might incriminate me.
No, I don't have nothing to say about that.
I think that, you know, that's all in the past, and we all got a past,
and, you know, you can dig up shit about
me and talk about shit about me, but I
ain't here to talk about it.
Nobody else's shit.
I got plenty of shit
if you want to talk about shit.
Would you like another shot?
Listen, okay,
was that a blunt that you smoked, though?
You want another blunt?
I don't smoke blunts.
He smokes cocaine right now.
No, but.
What?
That's not even going to go back to me?
No.
I'm in.
Please don't open up that can of worms.
No, no.
But is it?
No, because sometimes they're hemp papers and sometimes.
No, this is old school tobacco blunts.
Okay, can I?
Okay, let's raise this question.
Go for it.
Why mix delicious organic weed with cancerous nicotine-filled tobacco?
Let's take a shot at that.
How do you know how good your weed is if you mix it with stupid tobacco?
Because your weed should be real good then.
No, no.
Salud.
Motherfucking rice papers or something.
I think it's insane to smoke blunts.
Because you don't even know how good your weed is.
You dizzy and high from the nicotine and shit.
That's all right.
You motherfuckers ain't got to agree with me.
I know what the fuck I'm talking about Now they smoke
Most of the people here smoke joints right
Hey man nobody care about you
You was about the
Ice is coming to get for you
Not if we get married they not
Hey
Listen this is your only hope
Get it.
You know, look.
He said, I'd rather go back to...
You have a great life with her.
I'm trying to tell these motherfuckers.
No prenup.
No prenup.
Well, you need a prenup?
No, I need a prenup.
Oh, yeah, you definitely need one.
He don't want to do the prenup.
I want you on that one.
Baby, it's over.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, bro.
It was good while it lasted.
Well, no, give him the banana tree in the prenup.
Like, he wants that.
Platanos.
That's what they want, just platanos.
No.
Okay, yeah, okay.
I want y'all to finish.
No, go ahead, baby.
Because that first night doing comedy right
You said you met Robin Harris
What made you want to get on that stage
That first night
My girlfriend
My roommate was sleeping with a comic
Who was the manager
Of the club
They were doing it
They were doing it baby
A lot.
A lot.
And so he used to be at the house, and he thought that was very funny.
He said he runs his club, and if I ever want to come down, I could come down.
He would put me on stage the minute I walked in.
I didn't want to be no comedian, though.
Because you said you never did comedy before, so why would they invite you?
Because I'm gifted.
Because you said her baby daddy was a comedian and she wasn't.
Oh, okay, okay.
Because I'm gifted.
Okay.
Look, your future baby daddy right here.
My mother fucking man supporting me.
That's all right, baby.
I'll be through it a few minutes.
No, and so
I went down there and
the thing is, I've never been a
joke teller. I'm a
storyteller. I don't know how to tell
jokes. I can't remember them.
I wish I did, you know.
But I just can't remember jokes.
But I know what happened to me.
And the stories that I tell,
they happen to me,
and if you tell the truth,
you don't have to remember
because it's the truth, right?
So I just be telling the truth
about shit that happens.
Just like in the Netflix special
On the Plane,
why is the seatbelt
to where this one is only this long
and this other one is this long?
Why don't they meet in the middle?
Why do you have to twist your spine
into a motherfucking
sleeve?
Why? Why is this? Who said
let's make this motherfucker
three inches long
and watch him squirm over here
and go and do it?
That shit makes me incensed about it.
Like, why wouldn't you, for the comfort of your customer,
make it go in the middle?
And they need to revise the trays.
In the plane?
My tray be sitting.
The trays are ridiculous.
The trays suck.
The shit be like this shits be like this.
They be like this.
My tray be slap.
I be having this fucking tray
won't come down past my fucking titties.
Come on.
Come on, Southwest.
The American West with Dan Flores
is the latest show
from the Meat Eater Podcast Network,
hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores, and brought to you by Velvet Buck.
This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else.
Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser-known histories of the West.
I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian
Dr. Randall Williams and best-selling author and meat-eater founder Stephen Ranella. I'll correct
my kids now and then where they'll say when cave people were here and I'll say it seems like the
ice age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves. So join me starting Tuesday,
May 6th where we'll delve into stories of the West and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today.
Listen to The American West with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
And it's going to take us to heal us. It's Mental Health Awareness Month. And on a recent episode of Just Heal with Dr. J, the incomparable Taraji P. Henson stopped by to discuss how she's discovered peace on her journey.
So what I'm hearing you saying is healing is a part of us also reconnecting to our childhood in some sort.
You said I look how youthful I look because I never let that little
girl inside of me die. I go outside and run outside with the dogs. I still play like a kid.
I laugh. You know, I love jokes. I love funny. I love laughing. I laugh at myself. I don't take
myself too seriously. That's the stuff that keeps you young and stops you from being so hard.
To hear this and more things on the journey of healing,
you can listen to Just Heal with Dr. J from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the iHeart Radio
app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. AT&T, connecting changes everything.
Your gut microbiome and those healthy bacteria can actually have positive effects throughout your body.
Not just your gut, but your mental health, your metabolism, your immunity, your risk of cancer, heart disease, almost any disease under the sun.
Yep, you heard right. Probiotics might actually impact everything from your brain to your heart.
So what's science and what's just really good marketing?

So yes, bacteria is definitely having a moment and I'm very excited about that.

Ew.
Well, if I had it.
Yeah.
Well, I don't want an airline, but I do want a plane
you can consult an airline
what if they consulted you and said
we want Linnell
I would want it to be like
Emirates
Emirates and Spirit
how about they mix together
no motherfuckers
you asked me
the economy class and Spirit there ain. The economy class is spirit.
Ain't no economy class of Lunell Air.
Fuck spirits, bro.
Ain't no economy class of Lunell Air.
Okay, go ahead.
Lunell Air is copying
Emirates Airline
but with a few more dark-skinned
sisters as flight attendants.
And
Lunell Airline
will also have
a black movie channel
where you can watch
Coffee, Foxy Brown,
Across
110th Street,
Hollow Knight, all that kind of good stuff.
Because, you know, black people fight
internationally as well.
And then I might have, you know, in the back of the Emirates Airlines, in the back they have that cocktail area that has a...

The American West with Dan Flores is the latest show from the MeatEater Podcast Network,
hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores, and brought to you by Velvet Buck.
This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else.
Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser-known histories of the West.
I'll then be joined in
conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and best-selling author and
meat-eater founder Stephen Ranella. I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say when cave
people were here. And I'll say it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real
affinity for caves. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th,
where we'll delve into stories of the West and come to understand how it helps inform the ways
in which we experience the region today. Listen to the American West with Dan Flores on the iHeart
Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And it's going to take us to heal
us. It's Mental Health Awareness Month.
And on a recent episode of Just Heal with Dr. J,
the incomparable Taraji P. Henson
stopped by to discuss how she's discovered peace on her journey.
So what I'm hearing you saying is healing is a part of us
also reconnecting to our childhood in some sort.
You said I look how youthful I look because I never let that little girl inside of me die.
I go outside and run outside with the dogs.
I still play like a kid.
I laugh.
You know, I love jokes.
I love funny.
I love laughing.
I laugh at myself.
I don't take myself too seriously.
That's the stuff that keeps you young and stops you from being so hard.
To hear this and more things on the journey of healing, you can listen to Just Heal with Dr. J
from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts. AT&T, connecting changes everything.

So, yes, bacteria is definitely having a moment and I'm very excited about that.
From probiotic drinks and gummies to face creams and pillows.

Yes, ma'am.
Okay.
When you started DJing, how old were you, and what was one of the first hip-hop records that got you excited?
Oof.
I was about 15.
Thanks, baby.
Dang, your future ex-boyfriend.
I was about 15, 16, and it was Self-Destruction was really the record.
Self-Destruction.
You had it for Self-Destruction.
That was one of my first vinyl records.
Oh my God, really?
And on the back of the vinyl, it had all the lyrics,
so I could learn all the lyrics,
and I could play the record, and I loved that record.
Whatever happened to Daddy?
Ooh, Daddy.

Shout out to LL Cool J that started Rock the Bell's.
Yes, LL.
You want to give him the business?
No, no, no, no, because I respect
his wife.

But if I don't like your wife, I might fuck you.
Ooh.
Dale que tu puede.
Chichi que te yillo.

Def Jam.
Def Jam.
What label were you on?
I was on Def Jam.
Eventually.
Eventually.
No, he wasn't first on Def Jam.
He eventually got on Def Jam.
Which is dope.
That's crazy.
Did you ever go to Studio 54?
Nah, I ain't that old. My bad.
Nah, sorry.
Did you go?
Did you go there?
No, I was just a child.
Ah, you weren't there?
I never went to Studio 54.
I just went there.
So what would that have been like for all of us?
I went to Studio 54. I just went there. So what would that have been like for all of us? I went to everything like Studio 54.
Which is?
Because I was in the Bay Area.
So I was in San Francisco.
San Francisco in the gay, gay area was gay, gay, gay.
But that's when it was gay and fun.
Gay used to be fun.
You just said gay, gay, gay, gay.
Gay, gay, gay, gay.
Why do you have to do multiple gays?
Because there was Sylvester.
There was the Two Tons of Fun.
There was like really fun gay shit going on.
He's so real that he won't, he still DJs on the actual racket.
I like that.
He don't want to cross over. I told him to cross over, man. I understand. You know how much money he's leaving on the actual record. I like that. He don't want to cross over.
I told him to cross over, man.
I understand.
You know how much money he's leaving on the table?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, but if you're comfortable doing what you do,
and you're good at doing what you do,
and there's a need for you.
He don't want to DJ no more.
Do we all want to EF in the DJ, y'all?
I'll be back one day.
Do we all want to EF in the DJ?
We'll bring it back.
We'll bring it back for Lunel

This shit is crazy man
Stay home and take care of your grandchildren
Grandpa
That's right
Hey listen When we're in the trenches right your grandchildren. Grandpa. That's right. Grandpa.
Hey, listen.
Taking the shots, man. When we're in the trenches,
right,
when you're in the trenches
and you're trying to get at,
once you're trying to get
the bag,
you're trying to get the,
you don't think like,
one day I'm going to be
a fucking grandfather.
I never thought that.
Do you know how lucky you are?
That is amazing.
Do you know how fucking lucky
you are?
Thank you, thank you.
I'm going to give you
a shot for that.
Yeah, I'm doing that.
Hold on, we're taking shots?
Hold on. Yeah, all right.
Fuck it.
You drink that water first.
God damn it.
That's why you shouldn't have taken the shot.
I see.
This is why I love Latin men, but then they go there.
And the next thing you know, it's time.
But I did it for you.
I didn't get the weather.
I didn't get the TV.
I got you now.
Yes, daddy.
I took my kids to see Dog Man.
Dog Man! How was that process for that movie?
Well, doing a voiceover is the ultimate if you're not an ego freak.
Who was the person controlling that movie?
Who was the executive?
Was Pete Davidson a part of that?
Well, Pete Davidson did a voice,
and so did Lil Rel and myself,
and Isla Fisher, and there's a lot of voices in that.
But I have been doing animation for quite a while.
Brilliant.
And I love it because, number one, you don't have to memorize your lines because you can read them, but you just get familiar with your character.
Number two, you don't have to get dressed up.
Right.
And so I make them and stuff.
You just do it.
They just come to work looking like a hag, and you can still do a great job.
And if you're excited about it, and they're excited about you,
they were more excited about me than I was about them because I didn't know about Dog Man.
But I've done Hotel Transylvania 1 and 2.
Amazing.
I did Boondocks before.
I did a cartoon called Apple and Onion and some other weird shit, you know.
But this Dog Man.
Which is a hit.
I didn't know it was as big as it was.
Thank you, girl.
Well, you wouldn't know it was going to be a hit when you did it.
How was the process to do it?
It's always great.
It's always great.
It's always great to do animation voiceover stuff.
You did it.
Like I said, you don't have to dress up and you don't have to memorize.
But you do have to know your character.
But who called you for Dogma?
Was it Pete Davidson or no?
I don't know.
I think I auditioned.
You auditioned for that?
Yeah.
I don't like to audition acting-wise because I feel like I nut up a little bit.
And I'm just not that great, and just give me the job.
I can do the job, but I'm not a great auditioner.
It's not everybody's forte, you know what I'm saying?
Right.
I try to get over it, but sometimes I just like not to fuck up.
But if you give me the job, I can do the job because I'm used to doing what I'm told to do.
You know, I'm the eighth of eight kids.
I'm used to doing what I've been told to do.
But as far as animation and stuff, you know, that's just your voice.
Just got to be excited about it.
Yeah, I'm really happy about Dog Man
I did not know
That I had a voice that was so distinctive
You know
Cause it's kinda deep
I've been called boy all my life
Can I speak
Little boy can I speak to your mother
Like bitch I am the mother
You bitch
I told my kids that's my friend
Yeah I know it's cute Bitch, I am the mother, you bitch. I told my kids, I was like, that's my friend. Yeah.
I know, that's cute.
I'll take a shot for that.
Let's take a shot.
This is a drinking show.
And our show is about giving people their flowers.
And giving their shots.
Well, that's what happens.
Usually every third drink I drink, I steal something.
Our show is about giving shots to our flowers.
No, giving flowers to our shots.
Let me just tell you something.
Every time I see you, you're always funny.
You're always real.
Watch out.
That's that Mama Wanda.
That's that shit?
Yeah, yeah.
Take it, take it, take it.
No.
Take it down.

You see him hit that bottle. Oh, you see? He was like a caveman. He was half a caveman. I looked down. Don't listen to him. You seen him hit that bottle.
Oh, you seen him let them.
He was like a caveman.
He was half a caveman.

You seen that.
So, yeah, you don't want to take that.
You sure taking it down.
But hold on.
I just want to tell you, man, how much we appreciate you, how much we love you over here,
how much we enjoy you, and how much you are a legend, not to just us in this room,
but a legend to the game, legend to the comedy game, legend to the
hip-hop game, a legend all over.

So you sit at home and you stumble upon
Drink Champs.
Yes.
And you start watching it, and it's got a lot of people that come on that, you know,
everybody, entertainers didn't used to have a venue to speak out.
Right.
You just look at them.
They didn't really talk a lot.
You know, and then to be able to talk freely and stuff like that.
And I always think that the liquor just enhances
and makes it way funnier.
You know what I mean?
And nobody mean no harm.
You can get some great content that way, you know?
But everybody comes on here,
and you've had so many legendary people on here.
And for me to be able to come on here,
it just really means a lot to me and stuff.
Are you trying to take another shot?
I ain't gonna lie.
Let him speak, bro. Come on.
I'm trying to take another shot. I'm in.
