00:04:58
we got our research didn't mention it so what are you I mean I could tell just by you doing that you could sing well I'm
00:05:06
glad you could tell do how do your songs come about do you sit with someone and write them do you write them yourself in
00:05:12
your head how are you well I just recently released a song with Diane Warren her and I we sat and
00:05:19
rewrote uh she did most of the writing I gave her the premise in what I want the songs to be about and why I want to make
00:05:26
these types of songs and so we got one that just came out called woman up um which I really think K should have used in her campaign but whatever um and then
00:05:38
the campaign's still early so she she she listens to this podcast I'm sure she does well KLA needs to use the song Woman up it's a great that's inspiring
00:05:49
not just for women but for men as well you know you can't just be sitting in the bed and being all depressed and sad
00:05:54
you have to get up and get things done woman I'm always telling Dana to woman up well
00:06:00
man man up man Up's been around quite a while and that woman up it was about a time man up woman up and what would be the trifecta and listen human Dian Warren is
00:06:13
a huge huge one of the best songers of all time PR so she's sitting at the piano
00:06:20
you're sitting with her no it was just s in a studio just having conversations just having conversations okay and then and then I came back like two days later and she had three songs for me one

in the studio she didn't have a scratch like a scratch track like a sample of the song does she want to hear you sing
00:07:00
at all first just say what do you got no she didn't do that to me she didn't how
00:07:05

00:10:14
Wizard you know dick dick prior the thing about Dick prior oh he did a movie with him I did do a movie he buddies
00:10:22
with him I did a movie with I did with Dick and the thing about Dicky prior did it's called moving mid late late 80s and he's moving
00:10:35
his family across and I'm I'm G to drive his car and I'm a schizophrenic so I got
00:10:40
to hang out with him and and the director said Richard doesn't he's not into it today you know can you get him going I've only been at SNL one year I'm like I gotta get Richard going so I was
00:10:52
trying to get that's comedian of all time to wake him up you know and then he's just but he was so sweet just I
00:10:59
auditioned for moving and didn't get it and guess and I was living in a house where
00:11:05
Dana was living at the same house too I was renting a room and I was like hey good for you you know I didn't know you for that part yeah Dana I got your I was
00:11:16
trying to get your scraps okay so Tiffany what how how are you finding standup now I just saw you are on tour
00:11:23
yep uh standup always evolves it always changes as the person changes so what does it like now when you come out um and they go crazy and then what
00:11:35
what's your what's what are you feeling when you're out there now I always feel like when they go
00:11:40
crazy when I come on stage it's it's wild because I still remember eight years ago when it would just be like five people that go crazy because yeah that's the kind of following I had like
00:11:52
but the room would still be full but it would be five people that know me you know uh now everybody kind of knows who
00:11:59
Tiffany hadish is and they're like going bananas I want to cry I always feel the urge to cry and
00:12:07
then I say something kind of like wild to them so that I don't cry and keep clapping and I'm like stop it I'm gonna cry guys because because I
00:12:20
believe crying is a removal of old beliefs and a replacement of new ones and I always feel like the audience is
00:12:27
going to hate my guts before I get on stage and then it's like once I touch once my first foot touches the stage then it's like that doesn't matter anymore do you feel any any pressure
00:12:39
though because just i' give you an example if I'm trying to go to just a club to drop in and I just barely have
00:12:45
notes I'm working out and ladies and gentlemen then he better get fasten your comedy safety belts here she comes you
00:12:52
know it's like there's Tiffany had it you know it's just like feel it feels like a lot of
00:12:59
pressure the bigger the room you know till you get the first laugh it's the it's the small rooms that feel like a
00:13:06
lot of pressure it's the rooms that pop in and there's like six people there that feels like a lot of pressure feels like direct judgment you can literally have a
00:13:18
conversation with each one of those people in the room it's very those there's something to those little small
00:13:23
rooms and a lot of comics are on the road doing theaters but there's definitely something different about when you see their their eyes and
00:13:29
they're right up close and it's just that casual you can talk to them like you're just talking at dinner and you're all just kind of a little
00:13:36
group and you're just so you can be so casual and the big ones you have to sort of put on a show you have to play to this side and make sure they all hear you and it n make sure that it's a
00:13:47
little tougher it's great movements have to be bigger like yeah you know like I do a like I make a lot of facial
00:13:53
expressions when I talk I think that's where a lot of my comedy lies like I might say one word but the the face that
00:14:00
I make that goes with it is like that sells it right you're in one of those big old theaters and if they got like a
00:14:06
whack ass camera or if there's no no video footage at all then you got biger like I'm making wrinkles trying to [ __ ] yeah mistake I made the last
00:14:23
special I did I worked it out in clubs and then I was in a big theater and uh and there was no screens or anything it was very different the bits I was working out in clubs are very small
00:14:34
little stories and stuff so but it's fun to strut on a stage I mean Chris Rock is
00:14:40
obviously the best at it as far as the physical movement back and forth but yeah it's a completely different sport
00:14:47
than a little Club very very different sport very when you were doing like uh standup stand up standup and then you get something like girls trip which is a big thing in your career
00:14:59
what what is the change walk us see the change like that comes out obviously it's a big hit you a hit in a hit uh
00:15:06
what what kind of are the things that you notice I immediately noticed that people that told me that I wasn't going
00:15:13
to beat anything that you know I should give up you should just maybe get into modeling or get pregnant by a rich man
00:15:19
and just give up on this we're inly like I believed in you the whole time I knew
00:15:24
you could do it and I'm just looking at them like they do they think I have amnes I forgot what you said to
00:15:32
me uh offers and you get more attention more offers more attention more free stuff um phone rings more free stuff my bills are bigger I notice my
00:15:46
bigger uh you know things that were like so cheap like a plumber you know the plumber comes to my house I have a leak it cost 150 bucks to fix now the plumber
00:15:58
comes to my house it's like oh just need to change the washer on the dang sink faucet and that's $500 what yeah we need to change your washer and dry person
00:16:10
price kind of yeah it is kind of that and then I'm like okay so like I only keep pictures of myself in like this room right everything else is like in a box in a closet like away because if I
00:16:23
have someone coming over to do some work I don't even be here I have my assistant in here make make it like my it's my
00:16:29
assistant's house and so that I could get the regular price the real price smart yeah cuz I
00:16:36
still live in South Central LA I still live in a little you know a 2,000 square foot house like I'm not doing it super
00:16:43
big or anything um oh that's cool when stuff like that happens oh yeah I'm sorry D I was saying when stuff like that happens and you do well I think people think they hand you a million dollars the next day you still
00:16:58
have to you you do get offers but then you have to go do them then you have to get paid then you get wed to taxes then
00:17:04
you get agent manager people forget like it's it's really hard to build a ton of money it takes a while the gross in the
00:17:11
net and just by the way what you can talk to is your monologue was hilarious I looked at today when you hosted SNL
00:17:17
which you got the emy4 was all around this idea that everyone assumed soon as girls trip hit you're you got 20 million in the bank you know yeah I was paid the
00:17:27
least amount out of the girls right the most unknown and um I didn't start seeing no real money till maybe a year or two after it came out maybe a year
00:17:39
and a half after it came out I started making real money and like I did the night school movie and they're like pay
00:17:47
you a million dollars I'm like yeah awesome this is great and I'm thinking yeah a million dollars but like you said
00:17:53
taxes hit and I don't got no kids right then then represent ative fees that hit and that's like bananas then you know the appearance feed clothing so so I get
00:18:07
do these appearances or these interviews and they don't pay you to do the interviews or anything but you have to
00:18:12
buy clothes you got to pay for makeup ha and all that and by the time paying for
00:18:18
everything The Stylist all that uh you know I got like maybe 250,000 left and then I have black TXS and I don't know if you guys that is I don't no I want to
00:18:29
hear though there some special black tax know they be saying oh black women is so mad we not mad or they be like they
00:18:35
impatient we not in we the most patient it takes hours this hair do took you know hours looks great hours I was very patient um black tax though is when um
00:18:48
family members uh reach out to you for money and they expect you to give it to them because we come from the same
00:18:55
uterus or you know our we have the same grandma or we was in the same foster home so you should give me this money
00:19:02
we're in the same town we're in the same town doesn't take much when I was homeless didn't have nowhere to sleep no nothing you wasn't checking for me yeah
00:19:12
not until I ended up like on the Carmichael show that they start like checking for me like how you doing
00:19:17
what's going on can I hold five 500 I need to hold 500 and then you like feeling little guilty and you're like
00:19:23
yeah here here goes $500 right I'm big time I get my taxes I'm pay back they never pay you back and uh also they're getting it they're getting it clean like
00:19:34
if you gave someone five grand that that you probably have to make 20 to clear five and they don't see so you're basically giving them 20 and then they
00:19:41
they get a tax-free five and uh more than that I've I've been hit up obviously from all sides and uh it they
00:19:48
don't they don't no one thinks of that how do you handle it how do you I don't I didn't handle it well I have a lot of wisdom now I think what you're talking about is really good the the U the thing
00:20:01
that I learned if you systemically give someone a check and they're healthy and young and can work and you're systemically trying to help them make it you know or whatever you you'll will
00:20:13
always write them a check the rest of your life um I think that in Show Business you wantan to you want to be a little greedy with your money because you want to get to a point where say 10
00:20:26
years from now you can choose the way want to work and that to get net dollars saved I know we're this is we know these are first world problems anyone listening um but it's personal what we
00:20:38
do and so you don't want to have to do a diaper commercial at 60 if you can help
00:20:44
it so takes a long time to get a big pile of money where you get to be free from in show business all right there's
00:20:51
my my two cents so yeah just be careful I do the same thing I think you there's part of you that doesn't want people to be mad at you there's part of people don't you don't want them to think you're big
00:21:02
timing them and it's not that much in quotes and if you could just but it but you feel like you start buying friendships stuff it's all bad you know I remember one time we were out with uh
00:21:13
I had a famous friend and he was going to dinner we got an argument and of course I said the meanest thing it was
00:21:18
his birthday he was yelling at me and I go well I wanted to be the actual friend
00:21:24
at your party but have a good time at dinner with your agent assist manager lawyer and your your whole team you know what I mean and it it makes you think and go they all had to go you know
00:21:38
because it's his party and they got to show up once in a while and I was just voluntarily going until we got an
00:21:44
argument about it but that was mean thing to say but that's same thing reversed with me like you have your friends and you don't know who's so you
00:21:50
feel done family members my dad you know it's one of those where I don't know your family sit but my dad was dead be
00:21:56
dad and then he of course he come Buzz around and then of course I bought him a condo like there's just something you just go I want you around I'm going to
00:22:04
give you money to be around basically so weird it's really weird I spent a lot of
00:22:10
money making sure my mom is okay I got her out like that was my one of my main that's okay yeah I took care of my
00:22:15
parents that's what I do yeah make sure she got out of that mental institution I get her the best doctors the best like
00:22:22
food everything right she's doing great and that's when like oh yeah I'm glad I have this money and I've spent crazy czy
00:22:28
amount like crazy amount of money like nurses and all that and with my grandmother you know she did so much for
00:22:35
me growing up that I'm like I got to do everything for her I spent like $2 million do trying to keep her alive and
00:22:41
I probably was making it worse for her like I probably should just let her go the way she you know she I know I I've
00:22:48
been there and done that the numbers sound very familiar um yeah I I you know I don't know where you're at of any sort of um pinching yourself or any
00:22:59
I I wouldn't use the word guilt or because you there's Hard Knocks in your time on you know um and so you're still
00:23:07
in touch with that I can tell completely so just as your friend on the outside just make sure you take care of yourself yeah so now like when people ask me for money I um I tell them look I really
00:23:19
value our friendship I really value our relationship and I can give you this money now you're saying you're going to pay me back you probably want that like yeah yes I am yes I am okay I'm GNA give
00:23:30
you this money okay and if you don't pay me back by my birthday then I've decided that we are
00:23:37
no longer friends we're no longer in a relationship big responsibility yeah do they want to take that on and if you
00:23:44
want to take this money you know you value this money more than you value our friendship I completely understand nine
00:23:50
times out of 10 they always say no thank you I'll I'll I'll get back to you if I really really need it because they know
00:23:56
they're not gonna pay me back yeah be my friend than it is to for me to go away I paid you he told me if they ask for 10 give them five they always pad in a

colonialism so I remember him talking about it anyway yeah they told me they told me like it's funny because I went
00:28:20
to Israel this year this year has been a year for travel for me and and I wanted to travel because I want to see more of
00:28:27
the world and I want to have like better understanding of the the articles I read and the things that I see and also like
00:28:34
I've read the Bible I've read the Quran I've read the Torah I've read all these books in like where's the religious
00:28:41
capital of the world Israel oh this crazy stuff is going on right now in Israel uh yeah should I go should I go
00:28:48
but I've been trying to go for years but I've been busy trying you know connect collect my
00:28:54
Acorn yeah i' been collecting acorns you know collecting my money stack in my money so I buy my ticket I go and
00:29:03
although there was you know there's this turmoil going on over there at the same time I think it was a perfect time to go because there was no lines I got you
00:29:10
know people were coming up to me happy to share information about the history of Israel I learned so much and then to
00:29:17
see the things that I read about in these Bibles and the Torah and the Quran all to see in real life gave me a whole
00:29:25
another perspective and really has elevated my comedy and my point of view on who I am as a person
00:29:32
who God is and all of that like yeah it was really I think who believes in God should at least go to Israel one time it's crazy that's so interesting you did
00:29:43
that I think it's great you're doing it I mean you've established your career and then why not do a few little things
00:29:50
like that you have an opportunity not many people have and you take it was it scary I mean flying into is Israel they because I knew people go on
00:30:02
Uso tours and they go they turn the lights off go on at night or they cork screwed down under enemy fire it wasn't
00:30:08
like that so yeah I've tours like in full War full war going on and I've done stor and no like that was more scary because you could hear stuff from the airplane you could hear like that was
00:30:23
more scary yeah now the being on a big old commercial airline flying in was not scary uh coming through the airport the airport was
00:30:34
beautiful I was like okay kind of pampered you don't really unless you know what's going on if you were oblivious you just think I'm like I'm on
00:30:40
a great plane I'm on a great Hotel like oh wow there's no lines here where you know it's bar any it's nice barely
00:30:47

00:31:00
I went to masawa I mean not Mas masa's in errea which is also very freaking beautiful and they have their independence um but I went to Masada uh
00:31:11

00:31:22
like oh yes I grew up around that area and he's telling me all these stories and I'm just like what I even know you
00:31:28

00:31:35
travel with someone I'm just curious I went by myself and then what that's grown up that's very grown up I went all
00:31:42
by myself and when I got there I met up with a few people that I knew so like U Michael Raper Port was there so that was that was interesting
00:31:53

00:37:16

the sidewalk as opposed to parallel and had my ass out in the street wasn't had a light or anything like that and I had
00:37:34

00:42:33
Chase and me Tracy Tina Fe this is before the accident yes but he he had a kidney transplant or something and they put it
00:42:46
in the front he's patent it you know it's just an open book He's just you know did he tell you that it was his girlfriend's kidney and then I think so
00:42:53
yeah yeah and he goes it's right here that's I think a jinx because that happened to George Lopez
00:43:00
right took his wife George took his wife's kidney and then they got divorced you know it's bad when you say see you later sucker I know I mean it's a tough one
00:43:13

00:43:25
having problems so are you act I enjoyed working on I learned a lot about myself working on that show because I was
00:43:31
mostly the straight man so okay that being uh the straight man you the straight man that's interesting I was the straight man and it was not the
00:43:41
easiest uh because I want to crack jokes I want to it's hard I did it in the wrong it's a difficult be boring me and
00:43:49
just do what they write just do what they write and then I say after like three or four episodes I was like oh okay got the hang of this I can be I can do straight man stuff
00:44:00
yeah straight man is valuable it's necessary yeah but I I don't know why well anyway they cast you and whatever but it seems like that they're wasting a whole quadrant of ability you know yeah
00:44:15
you got a lot got a lot of it's very rare a lot of people can act you know yeah but you know how this world is like you know it's they just want you it's yeah well also just like you know there
00:44:27
it's not my show it was his show so it's for him to shine it's for him to be funny right you know I am just a an a a
00:44:36
little squiggly line in the in the drawing you know did they ever say these these words the name of the show is the Tracy Morgan show no it's not the
00:44:47
Tiffany Hatter show I've had that they never had versions of that along my career they never he might have said it
00:44:54
but they ah [ __ ] remember remember you're on my show okay all right my show Trac Moran show we're gonna get emies all right
00:45:07

00:45:33
32 oh hot he's all right he's all oh don't give away your cards uh but you know I think tbs in their head is like
00:45:43
we have Tracy if we could get Tracy and Tiffany it's just more potent it's a great poster it's great and it's not a bad gig and blah blah blah so yeah done
00:45:55
a million things like that where you're just sometimes you're the one they're writing for sometimes you're not but
00:46:01
just one more thing the way I am fine with being the not funny person in something I mean according to the
00:46:06
internet or to some some people's opinion you know she's just a pretty girl that's loud oh I love it that's fine and I just
00:46:18
don't know how many female Comics have done what I've done you've done a lot who uh just
00:46:26
batting her eyes when you're a little girl who are you watching and seeing that inspires you I'm watching whoopy Goldberg who like I used to think was my
00:46:37
actual birth mother and she just because she has to live the purpose of making people laugh and she's gonna come back and get me uh Lucio bar was my favorite to watch
00:46:51
Lucio bar Carol Bernette vidale uh oh Marshall Warfield worked with her a lot worked did a comedy competition with her in San Francisco which she won by the way of
00:47:07
course she did she's hilarious yeah she is a force of Nature and brilliantly funny yeah very funny and um I mean and then there's you know there's the George
00:47:18
Carlin there's a lot of men that I watched but um yeah for women that that that was like my thing Christina Applegate was Muny to me like oh wow
00:47:30
with children I had to make sure I watch I had to make sure I watch Married with Children oh that's great she'd love to
00:47:37
hear that because I wanted to I was like I have to learn how to be that girl because I am that girl like I'm like I'm
00:47:43
not the smartest girl so I got to learn how to be that and still get what I want like yeah also don't tell Mom the
00:47:51
babysitter was dead was a great funny weird movie when she was on we talked about that right Dana yeah and someone
00:47:57
said the other day they watched it with their kids and they're like oh we won't be watching this with the kids because
00:48:02
you forget some of those old movies like that are so runchy because there was no PC police and it just would kill and
00:48:09
then you go later oh take that out take that out yeah it's not politically correct anymore
00:48:14
no how like doesn't live forever like the three stoes was so funny to me I used to definitely beat up my sister not on purpose we were playing sues like
00:48:26
yeah yeah but like if you watch that like they would if you put that on now people be like oh no that's you know
00:48:32
that's teaching the kids how to hurt each other that's violence and you know and I'm like no it's it's white onwhite
00:48:38
crime I'm learning the big thing is you say our kids so much better now they've had 30 years to change everything is it way
00:48:49
better now I don't think so it's all just different they're even more violent they're doing like see we didn't have
00:48:56
Call of Duty how about that more violence we didn't P practice gun shootings when I was a kid right in the 1900s there weren't school shootings there might have been a shooting down
00:49:07
the street from the school there was fights yeah yeah uh I think oldfashioned when you talk when you talk bad about somebody you had to watch your mouth because what they say uh uh don't
00:49:19
let your mouth write a check that your ass can't cash that's right tell ass were talking crazy to you now somebody talk crazy to you you beat you hit them first or they hit you and
00:49:31

00:50:55
she ready from the to Hollywood I know that's but then when I saw it on the thing they they they truncated it and I
00:51:02

00:51:10
they read yes yes yes and what was the long version the longer version no there was no longer version they ready in property at going to get it right so was

that Tiffany hadish presents in a way like create yeah for other people Showtime I'm just saying I'm just saying
00:51:30
that's you know it was Netflix wasn't Showtime it was Netflix and I did that and I did that because I wanted like I
00:51:37
had a little juice a little power and you know I just wanted for the people that looked out for me over the years yeah for them I wanted them to have the opportunities I wish somebody would have
00:51:49

00:52:03
Forward Pay It Forward some of those people I slept on their couch you know when I didn't have no money to pay like

00:52:18
well yes and Elon told me in the beginning like in the earlier stages of my career he said Tiffany the only way
00:52:25
that you will make living in this business is by having good relationships with other comedians comedians will
00:52:31
always keep you working if you could call any you keep good relationships you can call any of those guys and go hey
00:52:37
man I need to make some money I'm having issues do you know of any shows going on like can you link me up and they will
00:52:43
get you work you will always work and those comedians that aren't good but they're good writers they'll end up
00:52:48
becoming writers or showrunners or you know and if you have a good relationship they'll be like yo we need to get you in
00:52:54
there and they get you in there yeah I like your attitude just about the whole thing it
00:53:00
seems like you're really connected to your your struggle and your your journey so you're still feel very authentic
00:53:07
sorry to use the word like just in the Moment In other words people might watch out for like he or she they're GNA get a big head or they're gonna be different you know it's gonna go to their head I
00:53:19
don't think it ever went to I mean comedy is so freaking hard at times and show business in general beats the [ __ ]
00:53:24
out of you uh even at any level pretty much I don't know who's had a free ride there you know do you read reviews of
00:53:32
your of your movies and your performances and do they affect you or you don't read them or or if they're great I read reviews um because I don't
00:53:39
think anybody even does reviews anymore do they I it must be social media basically yeah so I read social media comments and um I have to I gave
00:53:50
sometimes I get really upset with people cuz I'm just like really like why are you even following me if you feel this
00:53:55
way about me why are you even here i' I've dm' people back and said you follow me you look
00:54:02
like an idiot yeah yeah you have all these complaints and you still follow me yeah weird you're weird like um there
00:54:09
was at one point in time I got really mad and um somebody that was obese had um said something about me and then they said that it looked like I they said oh the way that I was acting is like I got

someone going out there feeding their brain it's very nice to hear that it's something that people talk about doing
00:59:04
or think about doing not everyone does it but I don't do I want to evolve as a human you know this is the only life I'm
00:59:10
living and I W to I know it's such a good inspiring thing I can't well it is great to have stand stand up as an
00:59:17
outlet for that if you because you've always done sort of you on stage and talked about you so it's interesting to
00:59:24
take all these lessons you're learn learning experiences and then make a kickass standup special and say Dave
00:59:30
Chappelle follow that and then I never say that to Dave CH no no I said it because he's he's the goat I that's why I used him
