explain why it's weird a lot of people don't know it they just say it's weird but getting famous

quickly more rapidly is very hard yes and suddenly you're getting money and

have I have songs that are out like I'm I'm streaming on Spotify and apple all right let's start with that I

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

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

your head how are you well I just recently released a song with Diane Warren her and I we sat and

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

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

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

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

you have to get up and get things done woman I'm always telling Dana to woman up well

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

a huge huge one of the best songers of all time PR so she's sitting at the piano

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

called woman up another one called you're so [ __ ] beautiful and then another one called I want you but I want

you gone like that can I ask you a question did she have um a Melody track that you

sang to or did she have a scratch track or she just says she just you just started how did you oh well when I came

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

at all first just say what do you got no she didn't do that to me she didn't how

does she know you're any good though um probably because she came to some of my comedy shows and much like you guys I

sing sometimes in my show just little bits like hey audience how you doing I

1930s kind of feel to it or 50s well it was from 1980s

1970s from The Elephant Show is it a real show song yeah it's a real theme song to a TV show that I used to watch

as a kid and my mom said that that was our family theme song and if somebody

it and Richard PRI was in The Wiz oh that's right Richard prior was The

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

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

his family across and I'm I'm G to drive his car and I'm a schizophrenic so I got

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

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

auditioned for moving and didn't get it and guess and I was living in a house where

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

trying to get your scraps okay so Tiffany what how how are you finding standup now I just saw you are on tour

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

what's your what's what are you feeling when you're out there now I always feel like when they go

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

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

Tiffany hadish is and they're like going bananas I want to cry I always feel the urge to cry and

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

believe crying is a removal of old beliefs and a replacement of new ones and I always feel like the audience is

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

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

notes I'm working out and ladies and gentlemen then he better get fasten your comedy safety belts here she comes you

know it's like there's Tiffany had it you know it's just like feel it feels like a lot of

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

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

conversation with each one of those people in the room it's very those there's something to those little small

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

little stories and stuff so but it's fun to strut on a stage I mean Chris Rock is

obviously the best at it as far as the physical movement back and forth but yeah it's a completely different sport

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

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

what what kind of are the things that you notice I immediately noticed that people that told me that I wasn't going

to beat anything that you know I should give up you should just maybe get into modeling or get pregnant by a rich man

and just give up on this we're inly like I believed in you the whole time I knew

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

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

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

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

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

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

assistant's house and so that I could get the regular price the real price smart yeah cuz I

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

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

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

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

net and just by the way what you can talk to is your monologue was hilarious I looked at today when you hosted SNL

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

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

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

you a million dollars I'm like yeah awesome this is great and I'm thinking yeah a million dollars but like you said

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

do these appearances or these interviews and they don't pay you to do the interviews or anything but you have to

buy clothes you got to pay for makeup ha and all that and by the time paying for

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

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

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

family members uh reach out to you for money and they expect you to give it to them because we come from the same

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

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

not until I ended up like on the Carmichael show that they start like checking for me like how you doing

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

do and so you don't want to have to do a diaper commercial at 60 if you can help

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

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

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

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

his birthday he was yelling at me and I go well I wanted to be the actual friend

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

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

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

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

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

give you money to be around basically so weird it's really weird I spent a lot of

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

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

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

amount like crazy amount of money like nurses and all that and with my grandmother you know she did so much for

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

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

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

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

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

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

you this money okay and if you don't pay me back by my birthday then I've decided that we are

no longer friends we're no longer in a relationship big responsibility yeah do they want to take that on and if you

want to take this money you know you value this money more than you value our friendship I completely understand nine

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

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

skateboard and something else if they want well said this one relative asked

me said they asked me for $25,000 I was like what even made that in a freaking

like you want 25,000 they like yeah I need 25,000 I'm like okay wait I just spent all this money make sure our

that's what scares me people go why don't you move here the taxes are so bad I go I like LA and I like that I have a

few friends here and I like hanging out in the hall at the comedy store or something I like just seeing a few comics and and then you can pop on and

buff out stuff and you feel because if you have a gig coming up where people are paying money you want to be good and

you're like God I'm starting to get scared to go on again because I just need to go on and feel it again just to

feel it just to get the organization cuz I ow these people and it's fun anyway think of a new joke is fun everything's

fun whenever I'm stressed out I head right to the comedy club even if I'm in another place I'm like where do they do

comedy here when I was in Africa I was just in Africa and I'm like oh it's too much time is going by we where can I do

some comedy out here is there comedy here in Africa they're like there's a restaurant that you could go to that might have it I go to this restaurant

and then they don't even have like a real stage it's like four benches pushed together in a boom box with the

microphone and I'm like give it to me how fun how fun it's like karaoke

basically how long were you in Africa was this a a month I was there for a month yeah I was there for a whole month

and I went to three different countries and I want to go to all countries that had their independence you know um that were what

are they Dana go ahead um Chad Tanzania no um

Morocco is that one of them I I didn't go there but I believe they have their independence I'm trying to dis name

countries because I saw this on Tik Tok and people couldn't name any I'm just into world class distance Runners it

would be Kenya um Ethiopia um

Tanzania wrong wrong wrong go ahead wrong wrong wrong look at Tiffany just staring nope no I have a friend from I

know from C Cameroon um definitely don't have their independence in

Cameron I don't it is crazy in Cameroon right now

like I hear about Cameron in the Olympics that's about it right okay well

South Africa has their independence okay that's kind of a trick

question okay assume so they were owned by the Dutch oh Zimbabwe you said okay

Zimbabwe has their independence and you're right about Tanzania m

Z Dana knew something about the Dutch yes Dutch had it and then my

father-in-law was Dutch and he felt bad about some of Dutch

colonialism so I remember him talking about it anyway yeah they told me they told me like it's funny because I went

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

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

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

capital of the world Israel oh this crazy stuff is going on right now in Israel uh yeah should I go should I go

but I've been trying to go for years but I've been busy trying you know connect collect my

Acorn yeah i' been collecting acorns you know collecting my money stack in my money so I buy my ticket I go and

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

know people were coming up to me happy to share information about the history of Israel I learned so much and then to

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

another perspective and really has elevated my comedy and my point of view on who I am as a person

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

there's traffic but it's not LA traffic it's felt like I was in California the weather felt like California weather oh

really I found hot springs and like just all this beautiful stuff like oh my God

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

and I and I was like is this where Jamie Masada got his name from the Laugh

Factory maybe maybe who I consider like a dad and I had to hit him up and he's

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

were from this part of the Middle East I thought you were from another part but okay like crazy crazy did you go did you

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

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

it's fun hang yeah I'm sure my friend Matthew seagull was there and um one of the guys from from cheaters was

there and uh we did some tours together stuff I did by myself I wanted to find

black people that was my other Mission like where are the black people I know it's got to be black this is where

Israel black people here black people believe in Jesus it gota be some black

people I found a bunch of the erra the Ethiopian and aitran Jews hung out with them and then I found

the largest diaspora the largest immigration of black Americans anywhere

in the world is in Israel in um Demona and and I kept telling everybody I want

to go to Demona I want to go to they're like no you shouldn't go to Demona why would you want to go to Demona that's where they keep the uh secret weapons

the nuclear weapons are hidden in Demona and I'm like I want to go there I want to go to deona take me to Demona take me

to Deon sounds interesting I got them to take me to Demona and it felt like I was in the hood but not in the hood because

like these they look like black Americans when they speak English sound like black Americans but then they speak

fluent Hebrew and they're like all vegetarians all a sudden like their their um Kuts was like so beautiful and

so dope and just I was just like God it made me so proud to be a human it just

made me proud to be a a black American Jew it just made me so proud and happy

around the world internationally known you know it's funny because I had prayed to God to you know give me a way to show

these Studios that I am internationally known and I could be in a a film that's for international purposes right and

because I was told I wasn't internationally known enough and then I took Beverly

Hills you took a nap in Beverly Hills what took a nap in the car in Beverly Hills police came

drinks yeah I did I finished one I didn't finish the second one I fell asleep on the couch because I was

exhausted right you know like that being of service 19 years oh yeah I woke up uh

somebody was like this lady was like you can sleep here sleep here

oh she's doing something sexy and I was like I'm leaving you not GNA have me in

the news 10 years from now talking about something I feel violated and all nope I'm

leaving so I took some other people felt uncomfortable to they wanted to leave too so dropped them off at home mhm oh a

drop off okay more people off this is exactly what I thought would happen

before this incident go ahead in my Tesla in my Tesla put it on pilot

because I knew I was tired and um you know the Tesla the way it set up your eyes is closed if your hands are off the

steering wheel too long it will over in such a way to get you helped because it thinks that you have you know

something's wrong incident yeah so that pulls over so a part perpendicular to to

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

been there for quite some time cuz the car had turned off the the police thought I was dead in the car because I

was like this like they said I was slumped over the steering wheel to me that means you

like like you leaned over just sitting and my head was down and um they thought

I was dead because I didn't respond to them knocking on the window or whatever so the ambulance was there and I heard

them talking I heard talking oh talking I opened my eyes and looked over and I like oh [ __ ] she's

alive she's alive scary people just say you don't know where you are anything yeah and I

was like oh damn and then I thought that was another prayer being answered because I had prayed to God to send me a handsome man with his own career that

you know I didn't have to be like that he could tell me interesting stories so I'm thinking oh this sending me my my

prayers and um they started asking me questions about drinking and I was just like you know what like just take me to

as far as M altering substances there's nothing even close to cannabis it's the it's the most benign VI

a millionfold no one's ever overdosed on cannabis snoop's president it'll it'll

love Snoop I got I got three songs with him really no maybe you maybe it's yeah

it's two well it didn't surprise me when they put him in the Olympics when I heard they're going to put Snoop there I go he's going to own the Olympics

because there's something about him that everyone loves him it's just I don't know what he just is he is a fun guy

likeable just just a I don't know just you just want to hang out with him put it that

[Music] way uh what about before we got to let you go in a second but this last OG I'm

here for it we can hang out guys I nothing else to do we have a question

for you I just want to hear about Tracy Morgan because he so funny and that show the OG what was that oh TBS last OG on

TBS yeah yeah yeah and he was he had to be kind of fun to work with right didn't

you work with them I we were not the same overl years I just know when he was

there and he's he's a character he's yeah Mr D he called me Mr

D it's not getting easier Mr D not getting easier you know

I did Oprah with him too yeah and did you guys have fun yeah yeah it was Chevy

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

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

yeah yeah and he goes it's right here that's I think a jinx because that happened to George Lopez

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

because talk about a non-g guilt-free divorce I mean you just go to the doctor

did it take yes it's good I'm fine I got to make a call call it's over babe we've been

having problems so are you act I enjoyed working on I learned a lot about myself working on that show because I was

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tiffany Hatter show I've had that they never had versions of that along my career they never he might have said it

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

this why we doing this for the emys well I meave yourself or I'll get

you pregnant okay I could get you that's good threat behave yourself

or get you pregnant that's a comedy album or something oh no he didn't say he didn't say it like that but he did

used to joke about getting me pregnant and I used to laugh and be like your son is more my speed oh his his son was like 30

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

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

a million things like that where you're just sometimes you're the one they're writing for sometimes you're not but

just one more thing the way I am fine with being the not funny person in something I mean according to the

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

don't know how many female Comics have done what I've done you've done a lot who uh just

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

babysitter was dead was a great funny weird movie when she was on we talked about that right Dana yeah and someone

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

you forget some of those old movies like that are so runchy because there was no PC police and it just would kill and

then you go later oh take that out take that out yeah it's not politically correct anymore

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

you beat they ass down into the ground now you Su and you going yep oh anyone's ready to sue

anyone for anything yeah yeah this lady want to me said I was stealing her

life well that's a tough to Pro that's a new one you're honor that's a new one the theft of my client's life I want

Tiffany hadish stole my life she stole everything everything that Tiffany had has been through she stole that from me

she making it I'm like well here's my social worker if you want to talk to her and all my foster

care you want to catch those rapes that I caught you can catch those you can have them you have all these you click

every every box all this every time a man ever hit me in the face you can have

that you can have everything you can have all the B and the good take it all the reason the exact same Tiffany is

pulling things up and doing act out we're not laughing at the idea of it but I just feel when I oh yeah I forgot this

is just audio my bad you're just what it is funny it's fine but you're you seem

um well this was I found this interesting you do a special it's called she's she ready then

you produce one with other comedians called they ready I mean who does that okay wait first the first special was

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

wrote it down that way but I know it it was from the hood to Hollywood was the full the full thing yes the next one was

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

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

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

gave any of us just give me five on TV totally so why what like what's the

point of building up all this notoriety and celebrity and Prestige if you can't open a door or two for other yeah Pay It

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

my rent or whatever they they help me get gigs like I'll never forget um do you guys know Elon Gold yeah very very

well yes and Elon told me in the beginning like in the earlier stages of my career he said Tiffany the only way

that you will make living in this business is by having good relationships with other comedians comedians will

always keep you working if you could call any you keep good relationships you can call any of those guys and go hey

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

get you work you will always work and those comedians that aren't good but they're good writers they'll end up

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

there and they get you in there yeah I like your attitude just about the whole thing it

seems like you're really connected to your your struggle and your your journey so you're still feel very authentic

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

don't think it ever went to I mean comedy is so freaking hard at times and show business in general beats the [ __ ]

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

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

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

sometimes I get really upset with people cuz I'm just like really like why are you even following me if you feel this

way about me why are you even here i' I've dm' people back and said you follow me you look

like an idiot yeah yeah you have all these complaints and you still follow me yeah weird you're weird like um there

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

that uh I got I must got some of that uh powder sugar or powder you know that

cocaine powder on my and so then I said well you need to put down the powdered Donuts you fat

[ __ ] like I just went the [ __ ] in um I probably shouldn't have done that but

you know I'm from these streets I was ready to find her she cut I read that at like two in the morning and so I was

like in my mind it is 1995 again and you about to get roasted you want to roast me I'm about to roast your fat ass and I

just kind of went in and I knew she was fat because I had did my research on her for about 45 minutes

and I knew she was on her weight loss journey and I figured [ __ ] your journey [ __ ] anything that end with [ __ ] is

funny did you get in trouble Journey [ __ ] fat [ __ ] with Fitch well it's

like someone's saying it to your face that's why it's it takes so personal I get mad when they say it's like they read it to you and ran and you're like

no no I'm gonna come catch you yeah yeah yeah yeah like you think I'm not gonna be on your [ __ ] you want like you want

my page on somebody else page on somebody else's thing crazy but you in

my page yeah crazy so I had to sign into did I get in trouble no because I went

into my fake page I went in that ass and then I was like if you keep [ __ ] with

Tiffany had somebody gonna show up on you oh good job have you ever said what's up

[ __ ] social media no I don't say [ __ ] face like what's up [ __ ] you know

my last time I fought back it wasn't quite as harsh the guy this this guy said I have a picture of me on stage and

I have a coat on and they go why do you wear standup wearing a coat and I go really do you think anyone asked this

question to Fonzi I cut I wish I wish the the

viewers the the listeners could see Dana turn super red when I I'm embarrassed

that [ __ ] he likes there just there was a lot of to

it but like but the way he giggling is like you felt like I was saying that to you yes well you hit it nice and crisp

and you really nailed it it's a good sharp well it's my way also sometimes I

call people booger wolfes I be like you a ugly ass booger wolf ass [ __ ] you know booger wolf is my other favorite

go-to haven't heard that is that is that yours or is that a phrase that people use booger wolf it used to be really

popular in the 80s it did in the in see you guys aren't black

so you don't know this but community in the black community back in the 80s

90s was the thing to call somebody and it's like you know they're they're so they're so ugly their attitude their

everything is so ugly that there's like you know they're they're like a wolf it's a it's a hideous thing I go back

to coming out like wolf you're Fred Wolf I went back to Sammy Davis Jr I think he

would say what's up jive turkey I was Turkey first is JJ Walker is jive turkey

still around good times no but wild turkey is but let's

bring back jive turkey I mean jive turkey was only for like that's only

like when you're want to like make reference to a old uncle or something you know he real J I've said jive turkey

not even joking three times in the last two weeks it's so funny to me it's such a funny

phrase yeah what is that a turkey that dances I don't know I tried to invent a

catchphrase once go ahead non seor when fourth grade everything was like bitching bitching was up and all that so

I started saying to all the kids out of sight man that's out of sight and it took me like a month and everyone was

saying that's out of sight sorry you didn't start out of sight I started out of sight 1965 Tiffany Before I Let You

for talking to us and you're so lovely I like that you're doing this stuff and it just adds to your smarts you're just

someone going out there feeding their brain it's very nice to hear that it's something that people talk about doing

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

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

outlet for that if you because you've always done sort of you on stage and talked about you so it's interesting to

take all these lessons you're learn learning experiences and then make a kickass standup special and say Dave

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

[Music] ironically Do You Remember by the way we we met at this uh kind of corporate

event we did the Beverly Hilton yeah that was Kasa la

it wasn't corporate it was found it was a found it was a charity charity sorry yes uh but it was tables and and then

you were so you're gonna open for me and they said Tiffany hadish I said tany wattis what and then I went out because

it and I said uh uh oh I better I'm gonna go look at my notes because you

know I knew then I thought you know I don't know if stars born is that before

girls trip or you'd had acting jobs but I didn't really understand but yeah you were AAR right before girls trip and I

had acting and all I did was talk about being in foster care yes that was the connection to it it was personal for you

go by S people one way one metric is like who you wouldn't want to follow you

know like I wouldn't want to follow Dave Chapelle I wouldn't want to follow you you know some people go I can is that

why you didn't take me on the road with you Dana when I asked you did you ask me to go on the road because I I don't

really go on and you were like you got really awkward and you turn red like right now and you kind of

giggled we'll look into it I remember that and then I got you in a headlock and I was going come on [ __ ] you got me

a [Music] nugie we look at to it

buddy he doesn't go on the road with me he's the worst I like doing stand up but
