Well, the heat's not on in here, so. And yet
my armpits are sweating.
But that's because I ran out of deodorant.
Wait for it. Three days ago.
Oh, I just read up on some
deodorant. And it's not the one that I
usually use. You got like a
natural deodorant? No, it like
smells like it's deodorant but also like there's remnants of funk no that's you no it's secret
the funk is within you no no no but i put the deodorant on when i don't have any funk and then
it still smells like i could be sweating or is it like a gel or a no gel is great actually really
yes but that's probably has the most cancer yes the most cancer yeah right copious amounts of
cancer and that but yeah no i just feel like the deodorant that i got is from the bodega so it's
probably not even real it's like it's like yeah it's like it's like marshall's level yes it's
like it says secret but it's really it's like shushing me secret it's like it's actually
secrete to secrete you picked up the wrong thing and you thought it was secret yeah like all the
Dove is Dove.
Dove.
Dovers.
Dove.
Sydney, you got a Hamilton shirt on?
Yes, ma'am.
You know?
Did you go see Hamilton?
No, no, no.
This is for the school.
From the school, from the kids.
You know, they give you a whole bunch of stuff.
And most of it looked like Duck Dynasty shit.
But no offense.
Shout out to Hamilton.
What was in the...
USC didn't give me shit when I went there.
Except my money.
What else did they give you?
They gave me a hat, they gave me pins, they gave me three cheeses, three different spreads of cheeses.
Wait, for you to eat there or you took the cheese home?
I mean, the way they set it up, they didn't lay it out for me.
They still had the fucking wrapper on it.
Oh, you just took your green room cheese?
Wow.
Yeah, but, you know, they give you some things, some stickers and whatnot that I'm not going to use.
Did you get sweatpants?
I did not I got this
sweater or shirt or whatever
it is it works
I feel young you know
I feel youthful I feel like I could bag
a child right now
that's problematic
it's a problematic thing to say in 2018
it is but I see you in your fleece
Everlane you see me in my Everlane
sis yeah I'm really
hot in it it's good
it works anyway yeah you know they say
deodorant causes cancer so
so you're letting it go or
No, I'm going to go get some today.
I just needed to get close enough to a target to do that.
But truly, since all the years I've known you,
you've never really smelled, ever.
I thought you were going to say,
you've never really smelled like you used deodorant.
I was like, huh?
I should have said that.
But no, I'm here doing the honesty hour.
Sydney, what were you an expert in this week?
Hanging out with old friends.
I hadn't seen my friends in a minute.
I had a friend in town from Houston and every time she comes in,
she's always doing some like big name shit that like,
I don't have the clothes for and don't have the coins.
Um,
but they went to this event that Alicia Keys was there.
Like it's for Qatar airlines or something like that.
Okay.
Excuse me.
Yeah.
So it was real like red carpet and whatnot.
What was Alicia Keys doing there?
It's a pen playing the piano.
I keep on falling.
And an incline,
like,
uh,
victorian dress like a high collar yes long sleeve yes i feel like if i'm a piano player i don't want
to play with long sleeves she like i feel like those are my those are my instruments those are
my tools she look cray she look crazy yeah she looks so she look like you know what i'm performing
in front of very wealthy people and they don't know what style is anyway so i'm gonna show up
in whatevs you know she didn't have no makeup on i mean she had maybe like a bb cream nah she it
looked like she just rolled out of bed, threw that dress
on and was like... She had the pillow lying on her face?
She's like, let's go get these coins
for me and Swizz. Swizzy.
Oh my God. Remember
when everyone thought Alicia Keys was a lesbian?
Yeah, those cornrows. And then she stole
that lady's husband. I love that.
That's that undercover shit. It's like, you
think that I want that girl over
there, but I want that girl's man.
It's great.
It's just funny. It is.
Good for her. And now she has like three kids.
Or four kids.
Being the other woman is not that bad if you come from money.
I don't know.
I saw a video of the three of them hanging out recently,
and they look like they might be on their Will and Jada,
Dwayne Martin swinging thing now.
Definitely.
But when you're that comfortable financially,
whose man is it really?
But broke bitches?
It's our man.
But broke bitches, they were like,
no, he don't have enough to be sharing with another bitch.
You know?
You know what?
I feel like you might have just invented a fact.
That's what it is.
It's like, you know what?
there's enough money to go around for everybody but like broke dudes is like he barely take you
out on dates so like how dare he have another like woman on the side right right right because
you're getting you getting my kfc is that what it is those are my biscuits those are my biscuits
exactly yeah but anyway i hung out with them and um we uh we went out with this uh this guy who had
money and uh that was i haven't been out on a like a dinner that i didn't have to pull out my
money for a minute you know yes it's like i see you drooling a little bit i'm salivating you're
like listen i had a meal like that it's so yo i opened that menu and i closed it immediately i
said there ain't nothing here for what are the apps looking like oh it was like it was oysters
it was steak it was caviar it was everything that was like 30 and above market price yeah
It was just ridiculous.
And he's like, oh, get this, get that, get that.
And I'm like, okay, there's some people who are like, get that.
Because they're like, you should try it.
And then there's somebody who's ordering for the table.
Oh, I love a for the table.
We need the for the table folks.
But you can't be the one that's ordering for the table.
No, absolutely not.
Because you are like a plus one of a plus one.
Yeah, no, no, I would never.
I'm going to be like, so what y'all getting?
What y'all snacking on?
I did eat with you that one time.
We went out with that eater guy and Sidney was like, let's get lobster for the table.
Well, we knew we weren't paying.
And then nobody ate the lobster
Because the lobster was trash
Anyway

Apples on the side
And arugula
But anyway
That was just the meal?
That was just the meal
piece of bacon and it was like forty dollars bitch no stupid but that's dumb the the best part
was when he paid and he tipped the guy the guy ran out after him to tell him you didn't have to
give me this much and then i was like dude i need to put on a little shirt and be a bartender what
the fuck how much money did he give him he said it's the holidays i said wow and then and then

where you say you was a hoe.
Like, you used to...
We were on that show together.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You was a fuck nigga.
That's what you said.
Oh, yeah, I was.
You were a hoe?
I was a hoe.
When?
In your 20s?
From, like...
All through college?
I didn't lose my virginity
until 19.
Okay, that's not...
At a party, and then...
At a party?
At a party.
Like a communal bed?
Yeah, it was somebody else's bed.
Gross.
Somebody you were dating
or somebody you met at the party?
Met at the party.
Because you was ready to lose it.
I was like, yo.
You were like, please.
Take it.
And it was like a movie almost in that, like, the girl I was really interested in was across the room.
And moving in slow motion.
It was a little hard to get over there.
And so I was like, who's closer?
Yeah, that is romance.
Yeah, definitely.
That's a 90s romantic comedy right there.
You wanted Jennifer Love Hewitt, but you settled for, I don't know, the one with the glasses.
But she ended up being very nice.
We're cool.
We hung out twice.
Oh, twice?
Was she a virgin?
No.
and she made sure to tell me
that she had experience.
So she was showing you what to do.
Yeah.
Okay.
So did you tell her you were a virgin?
I think I did.
I mean, I'm sure she could tell.
She, yeah.
It was like...
I'm sure.
Like, virgin, come on.
Yeah, oh yeah.
Meanwhile, all this playing...
She might even ask in the middle,
like, wait, are you a virgin?
Meanwhile, all that's playing in the background is,
I don't want to wait
for our love to be over.
Will has like a whipped cream.
A whipped cream thumb
Oh my god
I came out of the bedroom
I was like
I don't want your life
You're just on the bed
Like
Just posing for her
I have that photo
That's hilarious
I believe it
One time sent it to Julia
But that's another story
That's so funny
That you didn't want
To cross the room
I know right
But I get it
Why did the chicken
Cross the road
Because the girl
That he liked
Was over there
Was all the way over there
Was all the way over there
Clearly was looking
To talk to somebody else
So I was like
Alright you know what
I'm not gonna
I'm not pressed
Honestly, I love that.
Yeah, that's okay.
I'm happy for you.
I don't even know the person
who I lost my virginity to last name.
I don't know his last name either, Marie.
I know his first name is Patrick.
Really?
Shout out, Patrick.
And he pushed two twin beds together.
Wow.
And I heard he was a grown-ass man at the time.
You heard?
So you don't even know how old he was.
I don't even know.
Sydney, did you get me too?
No.
She don't even know how...
It doesn't sound good.
He was like 40.
no he wasn't 40
but he definitely
wasn't my age
which was
I don't wanna wait
yeah yeah
is there a crime
he was 19
yeah alright good
was it a crime
no
yeah okay good
and the black community
is different you know
we just
tell me about it
cause I
I grew up
when I grew up
down the street
was R. Kelly
so
I've seen it lots
yeah
so did he really
live down the street
with you
yeah yeah
and he really
I mean is this
He really allegedly
Had a bunch of teenage girls over
So Clark Jones
I ain't getting sued
Clark who used to do the show with you
He was a Chicago expert
And he was spilling all the R. Kelly tea
He was running his damn mouth
He used to pull up to high school
Me and Clark went to the same high school
He used to pull up to school
And pick girls up
And he would do that at Kenwood where he used to go to
Allegedly
That's why when all this shit started coming out
what was that recently like we've known since 99 so i mean we've known since he peed on that girl
yeah okay when did that come out was that two that was like oh two oh three so i knew in oh
two but you guys have known since before because we've seen it like in front of us was saying that
he would be at like the basketball games and he like you'd be like oh there's r kelly the
whitney young simeon game that's where like like derrick rose went to uh simeon quinn richard went
to whitney young so we're big basketball schools and that game every year was a big deal that
There'd be bands, and every girl would be dressed up.
So all the young girls would come out.
All the young girls.
All the girls would be dressed with their finest fashion over.
And we'd be 15, 16, like, damn, it's about to be some girls up there.
We're about to kill it.
And then we'd see R. Kelly there.
They're not there for you.
Yeah, and we're like, oh, they're going with R. Kelly.
It's like all of them would just jump in R. Kelly's car?
A good amount, like a couple.
So it was like the flavor of love for R. Kelly.
Enough for me to get jealous.
Two.
It's enough for you to get jealous.
Yeah, exactly.
I saw one I like.
I'm like, oh, man.
you're like they're all getting it oh man come on seems like you don't even
so you go for a reason why he sang that song oh my god so you go from r kelly to
i'm i just want to settle down yeah yeah well i i don't go from r kelly at all
that's not the starting point i'm not r kelly
is there's a we really this was it to interrogate you yeah i'm like whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

The pee house is on George Street.
That's crazy.
That's a pee house?
That's going to our Kelly tour when we get to Chicago.
You know how much money you got to have
just to specifically have a house just to pee
on people? Just. That's the only reason.
That's the pee house.
Not the outhouse.
The pee house.
We can't be laughing at this, guys.
That's the golden shower house on
George Street. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
That's now listed as...
That's what it says on Streeties.
How much it cost, y'all?
$1.8 million for the pee house.
That's terrible.
What happened to the pee girl?
Because she got to be like in her 30s now.
Well, we know a comedian who went to high school with her.
He can tell us.
Oh.
There's a, yeah.
It ruined her life.
That's what happened.
That's what I'm talking about.
We don't even know what her name is.

I mean, does she still live in Chicago?
I think she does.
Yeah.
I think she still lives on the west side.
No, you got to move out.

You got to start fresh.
You got to change positions.

uh road rules which is a terrible which is not a movie it's a show it's a show but this dude yes
remember yes from road rules was he black no he was like filipino or something okay no i don't
And he drew a rose.
And I was like, I was an art student up until I started.
You went to Morehouse for art?
I did.
That is so dumb.
It was a bad idea.
You went to a historical black college for art.
I know they were laughing at you there.
You went to the school that Martin Luther King graduated from for art.
Yes.
To draw.
To draw.
Just so I could draw.
To use your hands.
Not to build shit.
To draw.
Not even sculpting.
Just drawing pics.
So sad.
So you're up there, you got your gel pens out.
Yeah, I got my gel pens.
I drew a girl a rose and I wrote a poem about her.
Oh, damn.
Outside the rose.
Do you remember any of the lines?
None of it.
Any of the stanzas?
Honestly, I think I took a Warren G song.
So you plagiarized?
Yeah, I plagiarized.
You plagiarized.
I Quentin Millard'd the situation.
I wrote the Warren G lyrics around this rose that I drew, gave it to her.
It was my high school girlfriend.
she was like
oh this is great
thank you
like she was so touched
and I was like
hmm
something to that
something to that
I ain't gotta spend
no money
let me go on Amazon
and get some more pens
no you gotta do that
in high school
a grown ass bitch
is not gonna
I don't want no painting
oh hell no
he didn't even say
it was a painting
since he said he drew it
it was a number two pencil
I do not want any art
was it colored as least
not even
it was shaded
there was some shading
wow
it was some light shading
it's not romantic
together there was gradients of gray it was it was beautiful and i hope she has it still up no
yeah in her house she got it husband and children somebody's friend somebody peed on it okay it's
definitely not it's at the p house on george street okay so wait so then yeah that fine girl
set me off where i was like all right and like i have it was like a weird situation where
she was dating my friend oh and so you ain't shit yeah kind of i i wasn't shit up until 28
so so there was like her friend was a friend of mine girl yeah she was dating your friend
my friend what's your friend's name i'm not saying that she's in politics
the woman that the woman was dating another woman yeah that is well that's trifling i know i'm aware
this is a movie right here
I'm aware
but I will say
a lot of dudes at Morehouse
were like damn
okay
how you do that
I was like I truly
truly don't know
didn't try
the dick that good will
I don't believe
I'm that
it's not the dick
that's that good
because he had to get her
first
I did
it's the charm
I was very charming
you were using
all that money
he was doing all her work
yeah yeah
like whatever you need
she was an art student as well
so it wasn't like
so she was also dumb
you were swiping
those meal plans
It's like crazy, huh?
You're doing them swipes.
I had connects.
When you think about the innocent charm, man, I got lunch for free every day.
Because you were poor?
I wasn't poor, but I was in college.
Oh, for college.
Okay.
Yeah.
I thought you meant like you were on the free lunch program.
Oh, no, no, no.
Like growing up?
Yeah.
I mean, I was.
I would eat it, yeah.
Because we were poor.
My mom was like, I'm not giving you food if they have food at the school.
And it was like, it's not good.
And she was like, well, we are eligible for it, so you're going to eat it.
And he was like, but I want food.
So what's your favorite romantic comedy?
Failure to Launch is one I really enjoy.
Who?
Failure to Launch with Matthew McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker.
Oh.
Did they do another movie together?
I think they did.
They did.
Or maybe I'm thinking of Kate Hudson.
Yes, I think you did.
Oh, that's How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.
Or Fool's Ghost.
What is it?
Fool's gold.
Fool's gold.
Was Matthew McConaughey in that also?
With her?
No.
Owen Wilson, I think.
Yes.
They be recycling these blonde actors.
Yeah, they do.
Which is crazy because it's the same kind of story, but with different variations of
beige.
And it's just like, y'all all are like.
But you know what's going to happen too, right?
Like, how do you lose a guy in 10 days?
You're like, oh, they gonna fall in love.
But there's a bit or something.
For a minute, they were doing that with Morris Chestnut and Gabrielle Union.
Yes they were
And Vivica Fox
It was like
Or Jamie Foxx
It was like
Two can play that game
Yeah yeah yeah
I love
That's one of my favorite movies
Really
Two can play that game
And
Fuck what's that other one
What about Woo
Yeah I love Woo
Remember that
With Jada Pinkett
And Dave Chappelle
That's right
Eating chicken
Dave Chappelle has quietly
Been in like a bunch of movies
You've got mail
Yeah
Dave Chappelle's like
50 years old
I know but I'm saying
Like he's been
In a lot of
Like he's in something now
Right
He's in Starsborne
a star is born
and it's funny to watch
it's pretty good
I haven't seen it
but I saw the trailer
the movie's good
but he's also
pretty good in it
is that technically
a romantic comedy
I mean romantic
yeah I don't know
if it's a comedy
a romantic comedy
that shit doesn't
end funny at all
I don't know
that scene where he's like
hey I just wanted
to look at you
I laughed
that's funny as fuck
just watching the trailer
I laughed
of course
hey I just wanted
to look at you
one more time
bye
wait so what's the plot
of Failure to Launch
Failure to Launch
is this kid
Well, Matthew McConaughey can't move out of his parents' house.
So he a bum?
A bum like me.
No.
Like you used to be.
Like I used to be.
And there's hope.
That's why I think I like it.
Where you're like, you can be a bum and you can get out of that bum life.
Okay.
And move on up.
But it's like Sarah Jessica Parker is a woman whose job it is to get grown men out of their parents' house.
What job is that?
In these movies, they always have some weird-ass job.
I would never.
What job is that?
That's not a job.
No.
They made that up for her.
she's a babysitter
she's a life coach
and Zooey Deschanel
is in it
being weird
that's her brand
okay
quirky
she's a quirk
she's a quirkster
what is she in the movie
the roommate or something
Sarah Jessica Parker
for some reason
has a roommate
and she's the roommate
even though she's trying
to help
but she got a roommate
girl bye
I'd be like
sis you can't help me
you have a roommate
my mom is my roommate
so what's the difference here
but it's a good movie
why
why is it a good movie
I don't know
that's the thing about rom-coms they're not very good but the story is so simple that i can watch
it over and over and be like that wasn't bad like you can put it on and you're like that was fine
i do like a movie like that like i like everyone hates katherine heigl but like i like 27 dresses
i love 27 i thoroughly enjoyed that terrible scene where they're like dancing and singing
it's totally unrealistic yeah it's like come on and then they fuck in the car outside it's like
what are you guys doing yeah they bet they had sex in like a volkswagen beetle for some reason
in the trunk yeah i i didn't watch that but i hated knocked up because it was too real like
i was like where the fuck is the romance there's nothing good about this then it did seth rogan
and it's like yo you settle like yeah yeah like hey the baby's coming you gotta settle what was
the storyline for knocked out um well he was a stoner he's bum ass he's so bum but how did they
meet uh at after party she just got a bump up in her job and she went out with her girls and then
And he was, like, the busser?
He was there, yeah.
He was, like, with his buddies, like,
Oh, my God, that's so good!
He, like, he probably knocked over her drink
or something like that
and had to, like, get her a new one.
And then they go to his place,
and honestly, the scene is problematic, but...
Why is it problematic?
Because she says no, and he's like, oh.
Well, he, she is, like, get a condom,
and he's like, okay,
and then she says, just do it already.
And then he doesn't have a condom on and he fucks her.
And then she's pregnant.
That is problematic.
It's very problematic.
Who is that eager to bang Seth Rogen?
That was like, what, 09, 07?
Yeah.
But nobody, that wasn't talked about very much about how like, oh, you need to have
a clear condom discussion.
When it's to their benefit, they don't talk about it.
Talking about wrap your tiny dick up.
I'm not having your ginger babies.
Is he a ginger?
He's a ginger, isn't he?
So the whole movie, they made her look like this whiny, complaining bitch.
But it's like, he is a bum.
But also, I was like, sis, you got $500 for the abort.
For the abort?
For the abort.
She had just got a bump in her pay.
Yeah, you didn't need to.
She couldn't just, you know.
Yeah.
She didn't have to have.
It's true.
And I mean.
There's options.
You know.
At that stage in the career, it's totally fine to make that decision.
Right.
I just got promoted and I'm having a busser's baby?
No.
Not a chance.
A bartender's baby?
that's when you're like pro choice yeah but i love that's when you're like how many flights
up are we right just like throwing your body down the stairs but i love the movie because it was
like oh messy white people yeah having like ratchet situations happen to them too i feel
like if they made it now they'd step out that conversation about hey by the way that condom
shit yeah maybe that needed to be a bigger discussion like well what was the what was
the black rom-com
Jamie Foxx was in it
and the whole plot
of the movie
is them trying
to get some condoms
so that
booty call
booty call
booty call
the whole movie
is just them
trying to go
get some condoms
well the date
started where they
went to the Chinese
restaurant and
they were like
Jamie Foxx is ugly
and I was like
he is
and I love that
because in
like these other
rom-coms
we're supposed to
pretend like
oh this guy
is like somewhat
attractive
or there's
something about him
and it's like
He is ugly.
These are not attractive.
Sorry.
I just got so mad about it.
Most people are ugly.
Yeah.
Most people are ugly.
Like who they, I don't know.
That's why Knocked Up is good, too, because like Seth Rogen is realistically attractive,
I think, right?
No.
No.
All right.
Well, there you go.
That's our hard note.
He's a man talking this shit.
I'm a man, yeah.
He's like, yeah, he cute.
What's wrong with him?
He got a nice personality.
He got both his eyes.
Hey, he's funny.
What's going on?
He grew up in a football.
Yeah.
Exact same age as me.
He's good.
He got fingers.
He got a neck.
What's the problem?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's doing his best.
Come on.
But the women are always hot and the men are never attractive.
That was a, yeah.
If they could write a new one where it's like, realistically, you both look the same.
Sorry, like y'all on the same level.
At the end of the day, rom-coms is really for y'all niggas, you know?
It's really for y'all dudes.
I mean, historically it has been.
Yeah.
Really?
I feel like it's for women.
That's what they try to market it as?
Right.
But if it's for a woman, why can't he just be attractive and like put the dick down and
And then like put on a condom.
That's a rom-com to me.
Well, since you're watching the wrong movies, you got to go home and watch like a Hallmark movie.
Those are great.
Lifetime.
Like a Hallmark holiday movie where it's like a woman who's like busy in the city.
And then she has to go like to some small town or her car break down.
And some like country dude is like, I reckon you need a tow.
And it's usually starring some woman where you're like, what sitcom was she on in 92?
And you're like, is that the chick from?
and you're trying to remember who she is for the whole movie.
My rom-com is how Stella got her groove back.
Yes, old bitch, be with this young
dude who's like, he's like 17.
It's like, Angela,
you're doing some reckless shit
right now. Stella, I can't
change being 30.
Winston.
My Jamaican friend hates
that movie because the accent is
so bad. He's like, excuse
me, are you dining alone?
She's like, at brunch.
Gross.
and that scene
where he's like
dancing
oh my god
with those shorts on
those tiny blue shorts
and then remember
when they're in the
canopy bed
and she's like
they're fucking
and she's crying
it's like ugh
no I don't remember
that scene
oh no
there's a scene
where she's like crying
when they first have sex
or like later
later
so that whole movie
the whole premise for that
is she was like
some grown ass woman
got her shit together
and she for whatever reason
was friends with
Whoopi Goldberg
yeah well everybody was
No, but that made sense.
Whoopi has an EGOT, so really, who are we to judge?
I'm trying to be friends with her, yeah.
Yeah, it made sense that she had a friend.
Because everybody had that one friend that's super funny,
that's like rough around the edges.
But like older than her, too, though, yes?
Yeah, you've got to have like, you know.
That's the role I'm trying to play.
The friend, the old friend?
They get a movie with Jaboukie in it,
and I'm going to be that best friend?
No, you can't stay at my house.
I'm doing Airbnb this week.
And then you close the door and Jaboukie stays.
that's a great one
write that down
I see that
in your future
you will be the friend
at like brunch
or like at the
baby shower
that's like
you know it all changes
after the baby comes
we're not gonna hang out
anymore man
yeah
exactly
I'm dying
exactly
dying
and then so what
she goes to
she flies to Jamaica
just to fly to Jamaica
yeah
she's like
or for work
she needs a little vacation
somebody breaks up
with her right
no she quit
her job
and she's like
I need a vacation
yeah
cause she had been
working with her
because does Whoopi die in that movie?
Yes, she does.
Was she sick or something?
Yes, she got cancer towards the end.
She didn't tell her though.
But they go to Jamaica together
because they both work hard or whatever
and she's on her vacation.
We deserve a girl's trip.
But this is like grown women having a girl's trip
because they don't really want to do shit.
They pushing themselves to go out.
Right.
Yeah.
Right.
But while she's at breakfast,
she meets this young ass dude.
Excuse me, are you dining alone?
Are you dining alone, eating berries?
Yeah.
and Angela
is that an orange slice
Stella
he's like
he's like
dripping the juice
down his chin
or whatever
and she's coming out
the pool
she got
and her body
always has looked
she got her vacation
braids on
they pan back from the arms
and you're like
those aren't Taye Diggs arms
those are animal breasts
damn
she has her vacation
braids
still got that Whitney
yeah
but that's my wrong comment
it's like
this is
this is some real shit
like you know
she's really living her life
and then
He doesn't have money like that.
He's not even a citizen.
Doesn't he come to the United States from Jamaica and she got kids and he's like eating cereal and playing video games?
Like that's easy.
Just bring a nigga from Jamaica.
But yeah, just bring a dude from Jamaica as a plus one.
Where's the visa situation?
Let us know.
But at least he's sponsoring him.
At least he's fine and he has abs.
Like at least that's attractive.
That's what I'm saying.
You sound real passionate.
i am because i think there needs to be more movies where the woman is doing her thing and it's on her
terms yeah it was on her well that's like every that's every j-lo movie yes yeah and she has
another movie coming out the one where she's like worried about somebody stalking her some shit oh
enough enough whoo nobody was stalking that was her husband yeah oh right that was like a lifetime
channel movie brought to big screen absolutely it's like beating her open hand but then wasn't
Isn't he also a cop?
Am I making this up?
Yes, but that's how those Lifetime shows,
like it'd be like a pillar of the community,
beating the fuck out of his wife.
Okay, it'd be a pastor.
Beating up Lacey Chabert or whoever.
Wait, what is that from?
She's on Party of Five, I think, right?
Gretchen from Mean Girls.
Mean Girls, yeah, yeah, yeah.
She tried to make Fetch happen, yeah.
Lacey Chabert.
I do love a sloppy Lifetime movie, though.
It'll be like, she's too young,
and it'll be like
some teen girl
and the mom is like
the same age as her
as an actress
weird
right
right
and then it's like
some dude
starring Candace Cameron
Bure
yeah
and you're like
okay 4House
and every time
you're like
wait
he hit her
just cause she didn't
make the sandwich right
like that
it's always like
wow she got beat
for nothing
like she did
nothing wrong
but they always
make it seem like
that's the first time
it happened
and it's like
since he's been
beating you
since before
that sandwich
is not number one
yeah
since
you know
You know how to make a good sandwich.
Come on.
You saw signs.
You wearing sunglasses and you not at brunch?
That's weird.
Like, you're just wearing sunglasses all week long.
I'll tell you what my favorite scene from a movie is.
When Angela Bassett, okay, I mean, she gonna come up a lot.
Yeah, she was a star.
In Waiting to Exhale, when she's like,
she finds out that her man cheated on her for a white woman.
And she's like going through his closet
and like putting everything in a wheelbarrow
and throws it in the car
and then sets the whole car on fire.
And then the fire department comes and they're like,
ma'am, it's illegal to burn things that aren't trash.
And she's like, it is trash.
Oh, that's a good.
And she nailed that.
Why did she win an award for that?
That put a stop to interracial relationships for like 15 years.
And yet here you are as a we.
I know.
As a we.
You're weeing it up.
I'm weeing it.
I allow it.
I allow your we.
All right, thank you.
Such a good movie.
And then there was like a man in that movie with a leather vest in the summertime.
for some reason
with no shirt
and he was Bubba
from Bubba Gump
he was raggedy
right
wasn't it Bubba
from Bubba Gump Shrimp
I don't know
from Forrest Gump
maybe
possibly
possibly
he was in that movie
I'm pretty sure
did he have on the same vest
with no shirt underneath
yeah I believe so
see I want to be that
I want to be
in a black rom-com
I want to make a black rom-com
I feel like they use
the same characters
for black rom-coms
they do
yeah well Kevin Hart
had the what is it
best night ever
or like
about last night
about last night
Yeah, with Halle Berry's ex with the hair.
The Eagle?
No, what's his name?
Oh, Michael Ealy.
Michael Ealy, yeah.
Light skin.
Yes, very, very hot.
And then they, what's her name?
Joy Bryant?
Yeah.
They found her from underneath a rock, and they were like, let's put you in her life.
Yeah, they were like, girl, your forehead's still good.
Let's go.
Who else was it?
Oh, Regina Hall.
Regina Hall.
It was actually cute, but it was a remake.
It was a remake of a Rob Lowe movie?
Yes.
Rob Lowe.
In like the 80s, yeah.
oh okay
I met Michael Ealy once
and I was disappointed
at how dusty he looked
oh really
I was like
oh my god
like he just looked
was it early in the morning
or something
it was like midday
we were doing some stuff
for like
some high school
or something
like for the kids
and I was like
that's how you
you show up for the kids
for the kids
that's what
you don't have no
these high school girls
no moisturizer on
they gotta
like I don't know
look at you and be like
oh he really is fun
yeah but no they weren't
they were like
who's that old guy
with the nice eyes.
What's he do?
And I was like,
oh, that's Michael Uly.
My top tier romantic,
it's not a comedy,
but just romantic movie
is Titanic
because they were problematic whites also.
Yes.
She was engaged to somebody else
and banging a poor man
who won a ticket to the boat.
That movie was way too long.
But what could that poor man do though?
He could draw.
Full circle.
It comes always back to you, man.
You know, he could draw.
Well, I mean, draw me like you draw your French boy.
Oh, and he was like, I'm in.
Cool.
I got this.
Draw me wearing this.
Okay.
Just this.
Yeah.
But you know what?
She wins because she had enough room to put Jack on that board.
And she's like, ah.
She's like, you poor.
It's never going to work for us.
It's going to get weird.
I can't bring you back to New York.
I can't be like, where's Billy Zane?
Oh, don't worry about Billy Zane.
but I got this nigga
don't worry
she's like no
that is a romantic comedy
that was funny
I laughed
it's funny when they
play the violins
down
in the basement
for the poor people
and all the rats
are dancing
we'll die like this
with dignity
dignified
when it's really like
y'all shouldn't have
been on that boat anyway
no
I mean yeah
wasn't her family
like poor
like she had
no money left
and that's why
she was marrying
that guy for money
It was Billy Zane, right?
She was marrying, yeah, she was marrying Billy Zane.
Has he been in anything else?
He was in Zoolander.
Okay, I've never heard of him.
Billy Zane.
But he was like a star, I think.
He's like a Billy Bob Thornton adjacent.
That's what he is.
I couldn't see that.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
Well, Billy Bob had sex with Halle Berry, which was, listen, there's no.
That seemed like it was real.
Yeah, no, there's no way, no.
Halle knew for a fact that she was going to win an Oscar.
She knew, because I was like, when you read that script, sis,
Did you really was like this is groundbreaking
But it seems like Halle Berry to me feels like
She don't read the whole script before she says yes
She'll read like a couple pages and she'll be like
Oh yeah I could do this
She's like is there a terrible wig involved
Yeah I'll do that that's for me
Is Diddy involved
Right cause Diddy was
Diddy was her husband
Well the story
Let's get into the story
What was the story for Monster Ball
The story was
Monster Balls
Because that was the name of the movie, right?
Monster's Ball, yeah.
Monster's Ball sounds hilarious, though.
Monster Balls.
It's like a dance where all monsters show up.
She did the mash.
Oh, it's a Lady Gaga tour.
Oh, Monster Ball.
Oh, nice.
Okay, look at that.
And Lady Gaga.
It all comes back to the stars, Warren.
I'm just a boy!
Okay, well, y'all didn't see that a lot, huh?
Y'all got that on repeat.
Y'all went three times that whole weekend.
Hell yeah.
But the plot of A Monster's Ball is Billy Bob Thornton is a cop.
His son is working at the same jail or whatever.
And then Holly Berry's husband, who's Diddy, is on death row.
And they kind of.
For what?
Which is ironic.
I don't know.
We don't know what he was on.
Death row killed his best friend.
Death row did kill his best friend.
Yes.
Okay.
But I did like the story about like Diddy's on death row.
I did think.
I was like, oh, this feels.
You were like, kill him!
Yeah, I did feel like the acting was pretty good for Diddy,
so I was like, look at him doing it.
It was, right?
I was, like, compelled.
A tear almost came down.
And then what happened was Billy Bob Thornton's son,
when Diddy was doing his last walk
before he gets electrocuted or whatever,
he throws up.
So he's like, you ruined this man's walk.
And then he somehow meets Holly Berry after that.
Right.
So did Billy Bob pull the switch?
No.
no he just was there yeah he was there and i work with my dad on death like on death row it's a
weird situation and then he like who plays the son um heath ledger wow it was actually he was
really fucking good in it he was really good where you're like great he was young he was young in
that i really liked him in um the taming of the shrew no the movie with julia styles yeah
that was a remake of the taming of the shrew no 10 things i hate about you 10 things i hate about
you but that's a really it is a rom-com yeah we're full circle bitch it's also it introduced
us to julia style's dancing and then she would later dance in the save the last dance okay see
i've never seen that movie and i cannot bring myself to watch no save the last dance it's
unacceptable black dude is teaching her how to dance what you're getting into juilliard
or wherever the hell she's trying to go clark was almost in that movie really he was gonna be the
dude they shot some of that at our high school the corny dude right no it was so bad and then
every time julia styles with a prototype for the for the chick that would date a guy like him she
was in othello right after that right where she did with him also mckay with mckay pfeiffer where
i was like this was unacceptable they this was a this could have went straight to dvd
no point did that go out into theaters yeah yeah and it was like under the helm of like
oh it's crazy did you know othello was about an interracial couple yeah we did know that
i did not know that it was about an interracial couple yeah and we didn't care about it
Then and we don't care about it now.
It was like, who gives a shit?
So were they speaking Shakespearean English in that movie?
Yeah, which I...
Was it Zine and Wine and Wilst?
Only one, like the new Romeo and Juliet with Leo.
That was great.
That was good.
And Claire Danes?
That's the only way I can watch.
Yeah, and Claire Danes.
That was good.
Were they also speaking in Shakespearean English?
They were, but you couldn't really tell because it was like modern day.
Because Leonardo DiCaprio was like, I'm not memorizing all these damn words.
But that movie, Romeo and Juliet, you could tell they had a real budget.
like the othello was like cinemax yes it was very like we just gonna put this on the cable
it's like we got 12 so let's make it work yeah we got a handy cam you kiss that black dude
the the but romeo and juliet is like like that's i mean that's not a comedy um i mean it's kind
of funny that they both thought that i think so i mean yeah it was kind of funny it's funny when
one of them wakes up like they did kill myself and the other person wakes up like wow they killed
themselves they didn't get the plan yeah and it's like i would i can it's funny because i was like
i've never been in love like that right i was gonna say do i want to be in love like that no
you don't i don't think so no that seems like it's like abusive you know what it is all those people
that did that they didn't have um cell phones no they didn't know that there was social media
They didn't know that, like, we have other things to do.
I'm not killing myself because you died.
There's other options out there.
Let me see what's happening on Hinge.
Like, I don't have time to be sad about your death.
I will find someone else.
Seriously, literally.
Eventually, I'll be fine.
Yeah, they're like 15-year-old kids.
Yeah.
The person that is coming to pick up his body, like, I could fall in love with him.
Yeah, you never know.
That's actually a good rom-com, right?
Your man dies.
Yes.
The coroner comes, and you're like, oh, we got the same eighth period class?
The coroner's abs slip out.
Yeah, like all of a sudden you're just a little red.
What are those?
What are those?
Nah, let's write this.
I'm down.
Okay, let's write the movie.
A black rom-com.
This time, no more stress.
I would want to do The Wedding Planner, but like...
Okay.
I like The Wedding Planner because, I mean, it's in San Francisco, which is like a very romantic...
Is that where it's set?
I don't know where any of these movies are set, but you knew that?
It's ironically a major plot point.
Because as she's, like, trying to get her shoe out of the sewer,
it's on a hill where a trash can is.
The trolley car?
No, it was a trash can.
The trash can is, like, falling down on her,
and Matthew McConaughey saves her and goes, all right.
Did she?
Will, do it again.
Do it again.
Do it again.
All right.
You are so dumb.
But did her and Matthew McConaughey do, like, two movies together?
I think so.
who was in Made in Manhattan
I feel like it was Matthew McConaughey
no it was another guy with dark hair
he was Rafe or something like that
or a Liam
a Liam or a Rafe
or a Fiennes maybe Rafe Fiennes
I think
oh there you go Ralph
look at that
I like Stanley Tucci
he's Devil Wears Prada also up there
I love the Devil Wears Prada but do not like Anne Hathaway
I like her
we could have taken her out in the movie
No, she's boring.
She's so bland.
She's nice.
Nothing about her is sexy.
He said Princess Diaries.
No, just because you do one movie, that's not enough.
No, it's not enough.
She gets a bad rap.
No.
It's her face.
She has a face that I don't like.
She looks like a...
She's deadpan.
He said a basset hound.
Wow.
She is giving dog show realness.
She got them big eyes.
Good lord, that was mean.
Something happened, though, where she...
They cast her as Catwoman, and I was like,
there's nothing sexy about her,
and that's when I was like, no.
But I think that's when everything went south,
because she's...
Because she's been constantly working consistently
since The Princess Diaries.
And The Devil Wears Prada is, that's a good thing.
But no one watches that movie for,
and you watch it for Meryl.
Absolutely for Meryl.
I don't care about her story.
Say, Yarlsberg cheese over here.
Right, yeah.
Oh, you're not going to eat it?
I made all this Yarlsberg.
But you know what?
I went to Dean and DeLuca
where it's like
yo that movie's so good
I watched it on a flight
the other day
like not the other day
but the last time
I was on a plane
and I was like
I watch it like
I don't know it
I know me too
but you know all the words
you know Stanley Tucci
I'm gonna finally
get to see Paris
and you're like
no you ain't
no you ain't
you still work here
no but the best
best Rob Com
ever
is Something About Mary
that is
I love Something About Mary
it's the goofiest
it's the most outrageous
and it's like
Ben Stiller yeah he looks like that
but everything else makes up for it
also the writer of Green Book
made that movie
really Green Book the movie with Mahershala
that's out right now
look at you just knowing things
is he also an artist?
does he draw?
no he doesn't I wish he did
but they made me it's the Farrelly brothers
who made Me Myself and Irene and all that shit
one of them is now
oh he makes serious movies yeah right i'm like what oh i've heard good things about the movie
i'm not gonna say that movie about the siamese twins green book is stuck on you or something
uh green book is like a very it's oscar nominated what is it it's where like
the white guy has a black friend the black dude has a white driver and like back in the day
yeah yeah he's like a really good piano player yeah the black dudes are really yeah
So it's disguised that this white driver is really a racist, but he just so happened to be.
I think everybody is racist back then.
They do, yeah.
Well, you're driving him, dude.
But at least the black dude is not the Uber driver, sis.
So I think that's what really matters to me.
It's not driving Miss Daisy.
It's Miss Daisy driving you.
Miss Daisy's driving Morgan.
Also a rom-com.
Did Morgan and that lady and Miss Daisy fall in love?
in the movie?
Didn't they smash?
They didn't hook up
and she didn't put her hand
in the window?
It was sweaty?
No.
And then he was like,
you can come to R. Kelly's house
and make water.
Ew!
He's like,
it's the pee house
on George Street.
We just gonna make
this left right here.
Oh, are we on George Street?
Let's stop into this house
real quick.
I gotta make water now.
Oh my God.
That's my takeaway
from that movie
is he calls peeing
making water.
Okay, see,
I didn't see that movie.
I gotta make water, man.
I don't normally watch
movies like that.
What movie?
Driving Miss Daisy?
that's what it was
it's one of those
where they want you
to be mad
if you're black
watching it
yeah but I don't
watch a lot
it's not gonna make me
get mad
like I've never seen
12 Years a Slave
me either
because I know
it's gonna make me angry
same yeah
I watched Rosewood once
and I said yeah
never again
I don't even know
what that is
I feel like they make
those movies
to make us mad
yeah right
and then they're like
get fired up
yeah
I'm fired up already
right I'm already
incensed
I gotta go to work still
I'm like well make me laugh
yeah
they don't throw
no comedy in that
is there a funny
slave movie
coming out no i don't want to see it yeah yeah so like we got just you know anything that morris
chestnut is it we got this christmas and last christmas and i did like this christmas four
christmases and uh what is it best man i saw all those why did i get married yeah why did i get
married too yeah it's a bad sequel title second yeah t.o.o why did i get married why did i get
married too what no wait there was a two yeah why did i also get married could have been the title
Well, I didn't really care about the first one.
So I was just like, anything Tyler Perry does, I'm not here for.
Daddy's Little Girls is good.
Well, that's because Idris is in it.
Yeah, maybe.
And Gabrielle Union is the lead in that.
But he had like three kids.
Gabrielle Union is too uppity to date a dude who got into that.
But then she's married to Dwayne.
She's married to Dwayne.
Dwayne is a real ass nigga from Chicago.
But he also has a bunch of kids.
Yes.
And a problematic relationship with his ex-wife.
Yes.
And he had a side baby.
Yes.
A baby, a whole baby on the side.
A whole baby, a whole 8-pound, 11-ounce baby, huh?
Yeah.
Oh, and what about the movie, Why Do I Hate My Wife or something like that with Chris Rock?
I think I love my wife.
I think I love my wife.
It's not I think I hate my wife.
No, I think I love my wife.
I think I love my wife.
And it was Kerry Washington.
Yes.
Was the one that he cheated on his wife with.
Yes, which makes sense.
Yeah.
I get it.
Yeah, I think that was like the first movie that I saw her in.
Yeah, but Chris Rock was dry the whole movie.
Yeah, I know.
It was unacceptable.
Well, he was playing like a version, like not him.
It's like, you're not like this.
Well, I don't remember.
Well, maybe he is like that, but he was like just being like a.
Disgruntled.
Yeah.
Just like.
Like an office worker.
Kerry Washington just showed up.
She was fun in that movie.
She was great.
Yeah, she had like a little guardian.
She wasn't taking herself too serious in that movie.
I enjoyed her.
I watched her and I was like, okay.
Okay, sure.
I think I love my wife.
Yeah.
Maybe I don't love my wife.
But wait, didn't Chris do another kind of rom-com, Top 5?
Top 5.
Rosaria Dawson.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Rosaria Dawson pops up every, like, 10 years just to, like, collect a check and leave.
Yeah.
Right?
Because she's not really working.
I feel like she.
No, she's like Jessica Alba.
Yeah.
No, Jessica Alba got that little, the Honest company.
Honest, yeah, yeah, whatever they do.
Yeah, she's making, like, organic baby diapers or something.
Sometimes a lot of people will go into more entrepreneurial or activist stuff,
and then they're like, but you don't act anymore.
Because they make more money that way, and it's like acting is hard.
Like, do I really want to listen to this whole or read this whole script
and then memorize it?
No.
It's like, let's just make some baby food.
I can do one thing.
Yeah, right.
I'm good.
Well, you see, that's what Jessica Simpson did.
She was not a good singer, but she's worth like a billion dollars now
because her clothes are at like Marshalls.
Smart move.
She was not a terrible singer.
She wasn't a good one.
And she had a brand.
Okay go ahead
Sing your favorite
Jessica Simpson song
Ready
Go
Irresistible
Yeah
I remember that one
Irresistible
Okay that was a good song
That was the best one
But it's the only one
That's the only one
That's the only one
I mean
And then she did the show
With Nick
And that's where
Everything popped off
Like that was like
A reality show
That everybody
I mean I think
That was like the original
Kardashians
That jump started
Everybody's reality
Honestly
I loved that show
It was great
I was like, this bitch is dumb.
There's the chicken of the sea thing.
Yeah.
She was so dumb, but I was like-
Do we believe that she's really that dumb, or she just said that?
They had to be playing it up, right?
She might be.
She's still dumb?
Well, she was pilled up.
She was definitely on Perks.
She was out of it.
Perk is sick.
Perk is sick.
So she was on Ellen on pills.
Yeah.
What was she promoting on Ellen?
She got a Christmas fragrance coming out?
She couldn't remember.
I think, yeah, I think we're still in love.
I think-
she couldn't remember anything
I mean I think
I love my wife
I think I love my wife
I think we're still in love
yeah
so um
Will

that's romantic
that's anal
give somebody
your whole ass
we eat that
we eat that
romant again
I'm crying
anal is romance
for some people
that's just a
Thursday night
we had the
candle out
you know
what kind of
candle was it
it was from
Bed Bath & Beyond
no no no
it was one of
those Joan Malone
real nice ones
oh Joan Malone
$300 candle
it was like
fur or mint or something?
We were on a rug and whatnot in Miami.
In my...
Ugh. What have I done?
I see you over here thinking. I'm like,
what have I... I do a little subtle shit.
I mean, you pay rent. I pay rent.
All of it. That's male romantic.
Right? Honestly, that's when
the lights come on.
Romance.
But money's not romantic.
Yes, it is.
I mean, it can be. And she pays
effort okay how dare you i know i know she got money she went there too all these gigs she got
she got albums out she got money she working on her egot yeah he doesn't have time uh but i mean
i'll pay all the rent if i if i must if i want if i need if if i must if she's gonna leave me
then yeah if she threatens to leave me it makes the most sense yeah excuse me no what do i do
We go on trips a lot of times, and she'll see a jumpsuit and point it out.
You know her.
She loves her jumpsuits.
That's so specific.
We might be out somewhere, or I'll see it pulled up on her computer, and I won't say anything, but then it'll be on the bed.
Ooh, that's like some lingerie, but it's a jumpsuit.
Yeah, but it's a jumpsuit.
Or like those gold sneakers.
Don't wear no panties with this girl.
There you go, with a little note.
Yeah, I wrote in crayon.
Don't worry about that.
No, no, no, no, no.
You drew a photo in the gym.
You drew a picture of a jumpsuit
and put it on the bed.
Let me know what you think.
You drew a picture of panties
and then made an X through them.
Put it on the jumpsuit.
Get yourself something nice.
What a thing I like, bro.
Yeah, yeah.
I love that.
That's romantic.
I think that just being thoughtful
and surprises are cool.
I like showing up places when I wasn't expected to be there.
But what if she was with somebody else?
That'd be hilarious.
That's a whole other conversation.
I'd probably just go, all right, I'm going to leave y'all.
We don't want no pop-up.
Right, but that's the rom-com right there, sis.
He pops up with his little flowers, with his jumpsuit set up in a bouquet of flowers.
And she's with somebody else.
And he's just like, you know, he drops it.
He runs out.
He's crying.
The camera follows the bouquet down.
Right, right, right.
It bounces for some reason.
It hits the ground.
and then it bounces
and then you're running
down the street
and Anderson Park
is like playing in the back
this is great
I love it
I love this movie already
and then he almost
gets hit by a cab
and he falls
because there's like
a pothole or something
and the woman
in the cab gets out
and she's like
are you okay
and it's I don't know
and that woman is
Kerry Washington
and then the cab driver
is like get up nigga
you have to move
it's not a cab though
it's an Uber
and he's like
I give a one stop
and she's like
don't worry
you can come with me
and then Jennifer Lopez
pops up and she's like
enough
yes
and then Winston comes
and like
excuse me
and it's raining
excuse me
and it's raining
are you hit by the car
he did that accent
having never
talked to a Jamaican
ever

no
Dave Dix was like

Excuse me, excuse me.
I've gotten changed being from Brooklyn.

He's like, oh, that movie was, I would never.
Treat me like a grown man.
Yeah.
And it's like, but you play, you eat Froot Loops.
Yeah.
You're a child.
I cringe at that accent and dance.
And then in Brown Sugar, there's a scene where they're.
That's right, Brown Sugar.
Common was in it, right?
Yes.
Common was in Brown Sugar.
And they're rapping the Common song.
Or was it Most Death?
It was Most Death.
I think and Common was in it, too.
But they're rapping the Common song, him and Sanaa on the bench.
And it's like.
it's like he's not
it's like you didn't
hear that song

One of the greatest movies ever.
