Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:02Hi, my name is Tiffany Haddish. And I feel exuberated about being Conan O 'Brien's friend. I feel exuberated now, too.
0:35We are going to need friends.
1:05connecting them before we got started. Isn't that like reporters have like a little thing on their mic that says, a little signage? Yeah. A little NPR thing. Yeah. And I was thinking, would we ever have that? Would we ever have a little, you know, Colonel O 'Brien needs a friend signage? And then I started thinking like, no, around the little microphone part. But then follow this, I started thinking, why does it have to be that? Wouldn't it be cool if it said NASA? Oh, now we're talking. Do you know what I mean? I like this. Like there's no reason. First of all, NASA may complain, but I don't think they're going to want that lawsuit.
1:36Should we also just dress in white-sleeved button-ups with black ties? Yes. Can we talk about science? No, that's the best part. We still talk the same old gibberish and bullshit that we always talk, but we're wearing white coats and it says NASA, but we're just talking... Poopoo and peepee. All three of us get flat tops. Okay. I'll get a buzz cut. Yeah, I will too. You just want the look. You're not saying anything about... No, but I think it'd just be a cool look online and people would see it and there'd be a moment of, I should probably pay attention, it's NASA. Yeah. Because I grew up with a real reverence for NASA.
2:08You probably did too. It's NASA. I didn't. I remembered my... Well, you don't believe in space, do you? I don't think space even exists. Yeah, you're a flat earther. I am. You think the world ends at Glendale. Why Glendale? There's just a drop. While we're talking, can you just bring up some video of like a rocket trajectory or something? Yes, and I'm not kidding. I would say... Something with telemetry. I would say, here's what I'm thinking. Guys, follow me on this. Little signage here that says NASA. Yeah. We dress as if we're talking about real things. Behind us, there's that big flattened out globe that has the curved telemetry of re-entry.
2:47And people are going to stop and they're going to think, I got to check this out. This is important. Yeah. I'm so sorry. And then it's going to be us, you know, Sona dishing on some celebrity that she used the bathroom just after, you know? Do you know what I mean? Those kind of stories that you tell that are awful. But you're making it seem as though people are like flipping through channels where they can see us. This is an audio medium. And then also on YouTube, like people specifically click on us. Sona, I understand you used a bathroom recently just after Wink Martindale had been in it. Yeah, Wink Martindale.
3:22Well, I'm sorry. Yeah, of all the celebrities. Oh, I'm sorry. You're probably going to want some new reference like Ghost Killer McGee. Oh, look, we're getting a blast off right now. This is exactly what NASA would be watching. This is so cool. That's great. A YouTube video. You know what I love? I love it. You could just probably search NASA. Let me describe for the audio audience. Imagine that we're wearing white coats. A shuttle has just launched. I think I'm onto something where, yes, people seem to enjoy our brand of foolishness. Podcast is doing very well. It's a big podcast. But we do little things like that every now and then.
3:59and why not? It just changes it up. Yeah, I think it's totally fine to impersonate government employees. It's totally cool to do that. No, no, what? You know, we have to take this off because Matt is just watching the solid booster rockets separate. You better take it off, Eduardo. It's a child-watching bluey. Yeah. Could you put on James Bond? No, nothing more. Nothing more, nothing more. You have such a 60s version of what NASA people look like. We should have white cut. Yeah. Have you watched them recently? They're all tatted up. Yeah, they're cool. Hey, you know what? I mean, that's what they heard before.
4:31I don't think I, now I think it's all SpaceX and stuff. What is NASA up to these days? The minute when they said, we're going to the moon again, I thought, huh? They're rovering. They're doing the rovers. Uh-oh, uh-oh. Bley is all excited because he has something he wants to say. He has an erection. Well, solid rocket booster ignition. All right. Take off. They just, actually something cool is they just recontacted Voyager 1. It was sending gobbledygook and then they fixed it and now it's sending back, everybody's screaming. I had an uncle like that. I had an uncle like that. He was speaking complete gibberish.
5:04We wrote him off and then he came around and he started talking sensibly again. So they did that. Turned out it was too much zinc in his pudding. It's the furthest man-made object. It's the farthest thing we've ever, humans have ever sent. What? It's billions of miles away. I'm glad you're not a spokesperson. Can you imagine Bley as a spokesperson for NASA? Okay, today we just sent the farthest. I mean, it's such a far, you wouldn't know it's a thing that goes out, but it's a, sir, can you tell us, please be specific. He was sending us gobbledygook. He was sending us gobbledygook, and now I'm explaining it in gobbledygook.
5:41Yeah, this Voyager 1 was just sending us a lot of BS, but now it's way, way out there. It's really groovy. Anyway, I thought by invoking NASA, we could assume sort of more of a serious mantle. Maybe people would take us a little more seriously and it would make the comedy really pop. Yeah. I think that would only work if we just stopped talking. What? What do you mean? Like if we just didn't talk and just sat here looking like NASA. Because the moment we do talk, it is just a lot of poopoo peepee. Give it a shot. Try to talk like NASA. Yeah. Yeah. Let's hear that, Sona. Let's hear you do your NASA talk.
6:13Go ahead. Hey, listen, we're cutting away to NASA now to hear what's - Can I have a prop? Can I have your pen? What am I going to do with that? That looks technical. And we're cutting away to rocket propulsion specialist, Dr. Sona Movsesian. Thank you, Mr. O 'Brien. We just want to make sure the trajectory of our reentry is penetrating the atmosphere at just the right thrust. And we have orbits. Yes. How many orbits do we have? I have two. I have two orbits. You're talking about the occipital orbits that hold the eye jelly. We have that. We did the orbit And then there's There's a dwarf planet That is Pluto We call them little person planets now But it's not even Is it even a planet anymore?
6:59That's what our research is based on No, it's still a planet It's still a person No, it's not a planet Listen It's not a planet anymore What isn't? Pluto Pluto's not a planet anymore Okay, I could care less Well, you work at NASA We were doing a whole NASA thing No, you're at NASA I'm still celebrity obsessed Conan O 'Brien With the latest on Ghostface killer Oh, boy. Because I've got a hard rap. That's a hard rap because no one knows what's going on out there more than me. I know about rap with Ghostface Killer. What was he in? Wu-Tang. That's right. Wu-Tang in the house. I'm going to go with more believable Sona NASA than you, rap guy.
7:38Yeah. I'm better at impersonating NASA than you are at pretending to know pop culture stuff. Ridiculous. I just came back from a vanilla ice concert. Oh. Yeah, okay. Where I was there with Ghostface Killer. You were with him? He was just with you? What's that? Like in the audience together? Yes. Oh, okay. I sat on his shoulders. And that's the sports guy. What's that? Oh, yes. Someone's got the ball and they're not giving it back. Get ready for some hot action as these men put on tight shoes and run around getting grins from the people. This is the worst opening ever. I'm writing down worst. I don't think they're silent.
8:15Opening ever. You know what's good? You know what I think is the good thing about a terrible opening? A terrible opening means we'll never go this low again. And now we can, you know, when you touch the bottom of the pool and you push back up again, you okay, Sona? What's the matter? He put so much effort into it. I know. And then he stopped. He went into a, like a sugar crash. I also like, can I say one thing? long after, minutes after we turned off the screen that was showing the NASA footage. I swear to God, I'll do an impression. Gourley wasn't talking, but was still looking at this blank screen waiting for something else to come.
8:59I'm just elsewhere. Yes, elsewhere. You're elsewhere in the best way. Anywhere, but here. I'm actually crying. You are crying. Oh my God. Don't be sad. It's all fine. Now you can go home to Altadena now. Just don't drive too far or off the face of the earth. Peace out. All right, my guest today. My guest today is an Emmy award-winning actress and comedian who has starred in such movies as Girls Trip and Haunted Mansion. Now she has a new memoir titled I Curse You With Joy. That's a great title. I Curse You With Joy. Very excited she's here with us today.
9:39I'm a huge fan. Tiffany Haddish, welcome.
9:44You have a problem with my skin. You walked in the door. First of all, I don't have a problem with your skin. Okay. I love your skin color. You are multicolored. Okay. It's beautiful, beautiful colors. You are the color of every human on this planet. Okay. You got all the colors. I'm just concerned about how dry your skin is. It looks like I could scratch the side of your hand and skin would just flake off. Yeah. And that tells me you don't have lotion in your bathroom. No, we don't have lotion. You need moisturizer. And my wife moisturizes all the time and I won't do it. It's just not in my nature to moisturize.
10:23I've got like chicken claws right here. I bet when you touch her, it feels like just a cat's tongue all over her body. Oh, it does. Tiffany, Tiffany, it's been so long that I can't remember. No, she keeps me away because every now and then I'm feeling a little randy. Yeah. And I'm like, hey, Liza. and I put up these claws and it's over. She's like, don't touch me. Yeah, don't touch me. You put the soap right there next to this faucet and right next to that soap there should be some hand lotion. So you wash your hands and a little bit of hand lotion and then that way you'll be moisturized and she'll want you to touch her.
11:02Okay. I was going to say, it's a lot more than lotion. Tiffany, there are other barriers too. And with all these multicolors of skin that you have, You need to preserve it as best as possible. You are the United Colors of Venice. You are every human, bro. You know what's so funny? We did a travel show and I went to Haiti. Remember this? I went to Haiti and all these beautiful children in Haiti and afterwards, they would have been like about, I don't know, 10, 11, and I was wearing a short sleeve shirt and afterwards they gather around and they're all looking at my arm, all the freckles. And they were looking at me and they looked up at me like, are you going to be okay?
11:44They probably were amazed. Like, he's a kaleidoscope of colors. He's everything. He's so many things. How are you, by the way? I'm pretty damn good. I'm really happy. Yeah, I'm good. You look beautiful. Thank you. I washed today and moisturized and put on some paint. I painted myself for you today. Well, I did not moisturize, as you can tell. Yeah, I try to be cute for you, man. You're my friend. Oh, thank you so much. Even though you don't call me or come to any of my events and I don't have your phone number, but it's cool. Well, I do call. Not me. Your people told me to stop calling. You haven't called me, though.
12:19Oh, well, you're hard to get to. But I thought I gave you my number the last time I saw you. I don't think you did. You did not give me digits, because I always text with people that give me digits. And you did not give me digits. And I think you started to, and then you saw a pile of dry skin around my feet. And then it was 555, 555, 555, 555. Just way too many. So much to talk about. First of all, I want to congratulate you on your book. I Curse You With Joy. How long are you working on this book for? I've been working on the book for about, well. I mean, it's your life. It's your life. Yeah, I've been working on it for 44 years.
12:55But actually working on the book, actively working on it, it's been three years. Some people write a book and you think, okay, some stuff's happened in their life. You write a book and I feel like everything's happened in your life. No, not everything. I haven't, like money hasn't been like dropped upon me, like raining hundreds of dollars just raining on me. And I'm just like, I haven't like swam like Scrooge McDuck in coins. I haven't. Okay, that's coming. That's coming. But I love that you said I want to be bathed in hundreds of dollars. You've got to aim higher than hundreds of dollars. I mean, we could do that today.
13:35Like, yeah. Go out, get$300. I'll be right back. In$1 bills. Make it rain. Make it rain. But, I mean, there's obviously some dark stuff. There's so much funny stuff in your book. It really is a testament to, like, you're here, you are so funny, and it's kind of a gift that you're letting people see how you got to this point. Yeah, well, you know, I feel like there's no manual on how to be a star, right? which I wish there was like a proper etiquette on how to do interviews, proper etiquette on how to behave at award shows or how to behave at this thing or that event. Like there's no, no like rule book.
14:14So it's like, okay, I'm just going to be me. And this is my way of saying like, these are the ups and downs of what I've experienced. And I've learned some valuable lessons and some of them were hard, but here's the funny in it. Like here's the joy in it. You proved this thing that I've always thought about, which is if you have a certain ability, it's going to hit you one way or the other, no matter what you're immersed in. I didn't know that you were a Jehovah's Witness. I wasn't baptized. I was actually, but I was around it. You were around it. I wasn't inducted. I didn't have like a blood card or nothing, but definitely.
14:48Well, as someone with a blood card, I can tell you. You have a blood card? No, I don't. I stole it. I get a lot of blood cards. I just take them. But you were around it and there's a performance aspect to being a Jehovah's Witness. Yeah. And that you were doing that and thinking, I like this part of it. Right. Yeah. And then you started to say, oh, there's another way to do this. There's another application. It's called comedy clubs. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, and so the nickel drops for you there. You took that experience and said, wait a minute, I really love this part of it. So you knew from a fairly early age, I like being in front of people.
15:28I love being in front of people. I love making them laugh. I love sharing information that it could be true. It could not be true. I'm not sure. But, you know, they're enjoying it. Like bringing people joy is like my favorite thing in the world. Even like if I'm walking down the street and I see somebody coming, you know, you see them and they're like got that sour face and they look like they're having the most horrible day. I'll smile at them like super big. And they're like they kind of like smirk back. And then it's so funny because you can hear them like 10 steps later. Like, was that Tiffany Haddish?
15:57That's really nice. And then like change their mood. You know, I just I love being able to do that in a positive way. That's really I mean, I smile like that at strangers and they get creeped out. Always have. You're a giant. I know. You know, you mentioned there's so much to talk about. I'm going to jump all over the map, but I love I've always been a little obsessed with the movie Face Off. And recently I watched it again and we showed it to my son. And he was like, oh, my God, this is Face Off, Nicolas Cage, John Travolta. You have in your book this insane story. And you have a very intimate connection to the movie Face Off.
16:33Yes. Yes. My first orgasm.
16:40Because of the movie or just circumstantially? Not because of the, it's circumstantial. You know how, like, sometimes you're hooking up with somebody and that's in the back, like a movie's in the background? Face Off is always on. It's not. Wait, were you, so it was on TV? No, it was in a movie theater. Oh, for Christ's sake. It was in a movie theater. You broke Conan. You're in the theater. I'm in the theater. And, you know, it was barely anybody there. It was the last show of the night. And it was, like, nobody in there. And me, and I was on a date. Me and this guy were at the back of the theater.
17:11And, you know, we're making out and stuff. And then he starts, you know, fiddling around. Fiddly, diddly, d. You know, little fiddly. Diddly, diddly, d. Little fiddly, diddly, d. Fiddly diddly dee. If you kids out there are listening, that's a little nursery rhyme for you. And now I should like to perform fiddly diddly dee on you. So, okay. And then, you know, I'm enjoying it. Eyes closed. And then I'm feeling this like crazy sensation through my body. And I open my eyes and it's like Nicolas Cage eyes is looking into my eyes. Yes, like this. Like, uh. And I'm like, uh. Whoa. Oh, so you have your first orgasm and you're looking at a giant Nicolas Cage face.
17:49That's complicated. Yes, and eyeballs. The most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. But it's actually John Travolta who you're looking at. That's the weird thing, right? Okay, don't take us down that. No, no. Not in that part of the movie. Jesus Christ. Just going by the film, which I think is important. Yeah, sure. That's what we're all focusing on right now. It's important. Okay, so. Maybe it's John Travolta's face and it's Nicolas Cage's face. Whatever it was, it was his. Two for one. Definitely his eyeballs. I have got to get us out of this side alley and back onto the highway. Cut to many years later.
18:20Okay. Many, many years later. I'm shooting a movie with Nicolas Cage. Oh, my God. And it's during pandemic. And so he's wearing his mask. And all I'm seeing is those eyes. Oh, wow. Okay. And I know my lines. I know my stuff. But I am so, like, my brain is going back to that moment. Sure. Like, I'm remembering all of that moment. And I need to be focused on right now. And it was I was having the hardest time focusing on right now because my like it's like, oh, man, this is those are the eyes. Those are the eyes we saw. Those are the and it's like, stop it, body. Stop it, mind. Like, focus on this.
18:55They're paying us millions of dollars to be here right now. And I'm like having the hardest time. And then I just had to tell him. And I told him I was like, this is probably the most inappropriate. Like, it was no way for me to like like I couldn't function. I couldn't communicate. I couldn't do my job. And I was just like, yo, I got to tell you something. It's very inappropriate. I probably shouldn't tell you at all. But I'm not going to be able to do my job if I don't tell you. And you might be offended by it. I don't know. But I got to tell you. And so he was like, all right, I don't know what's going on.
19:29Oh, yeah. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. And I tell him the story. And he burst out laughing. And he was like, you know what's crazy? It was my first wife. if she saw me in a movie and she said, that's going to be my husband one day. And we ended up getting married. I said, well, I'm going to tell you right now, ain't no fiddling, no beans over here. Ain't no fiddling, no beans over here. Okay. That's not going to be happening over here, but I just needed to tell you that so that I could do my freaking job. And then once I was able to get that off my chest, it was like, okay, now we can get to work.
20:01You are so delightfully... And we became friends. Like, we became friends. And it's so funny because all the other cast members were like, how did you get him to, he talks to you all the time. He's so cool with you. He doesn't talk to us. And, like, he would give me money advice and tell me about, like, this is the ups and downs of the business and this and that and all these different things. I met his fiance at the time. We talked on the phone. I speak Japanese, so I was able to talk to her a little bit. And so, like, we became, like, really cool. And everybody's like, how'd you do it? What did you say to him?
20:27And I was like, I just told him a story about my experience, and we've been cool ever since. And, like, he's mean. I'm like, he's not mean. He is a nice person. He is a cool person. They're like, well, that's not what we're experiencing. I'm like, well, you don't have no good stories to tell.
20:49You are so frank about sex and its role in your life. And it amazes me that when you were growing up, your mom did a lot. To prevent it. To prevent, well, to actively discourage you from having anything to do with the opposite sex. And she told you some intensely crazy stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Very crazy. She told me that. Like, OK, so we was watching this soap opera, right? And on the soap opera, the girls in the bed with the man and stuff. And I'm like, what are they doing? What are they doing? She said, oh, that's what you do to make a baby. I said, oh, I'm going to do that. She's like, no, you're not.
21:27Not till you're 21. I'm like, well, why? and she said well you know you have to get your vaccine first first you gotta get vaccinated I was like what do you mean she said you gotta get the shot I was like what shot she said look men boys have this stuff she said they got enzymes in their mouth right and if you kiss a boy that is the enzymes in their mouth if you don't have your vaccine it's gonna eat your face up right and you're gonna die with that 24 hours right and they got this stuff that shoots out they pee-pee that look like snot. And if that gets inside your baby carriage, then it's going to eat your insides.
22:03It's going to kill your baby carriage. Your legs are going to fall off. All this bad stuff. And you're going to die in three days. And so... It's like The Ring. Yes! It would be a great scary movie. Great scary movie. And so I went to school and my friend Amber was kissing this boy and I was crying. I was like, oh my God. You're going to die. You're going to die. Oh my God. You're going to die. Oh my God. You're going to die. And she's like, Amber's like, what is wrong with you? You know, like, and I'm giving you the abbreviated version. In the book, it's much more, you know, detailed. But I get home and I'm crying.

Since the 1900s, y 'all. 1996, 97. I was always so confused trying to figure out how do I be me? Like also figuring out who am I? And why don't I get the notoriety I should get? And why am I not getting the opportunities? And why do all these guys like get all this stuff? And I talked about that in the book where I put that prosthetic penis in my panties. And when you're on when you're on stage. Yeah. When I walked up to the club and just like walking around with a like a limp dick in my drawers.
26:30Because I felt like, you know, these guys respect guys. They don't really respect women. And it's like it's really like hard to get on as a woman. And and I don't know. I don't know if I walk different, if my energy was different. But then they started like respecting me and started like talking to me and giving me hugs and saying, hey, why don't you do this? Can you book my show? Can you do this show over here with me? I'm booking this show. You want to get on? You want to do this? And I was like, oh, man, having a dick in my drawers really is like making a difference. Like this is maybe this is a boys club.
26:56And then I like stop wearing the penis, but kept that same kind of energy. Like that's unbelievable. It's believable. If you want to when you give me your number, I can text you a picture of it. I'm writing it down right now. Of the penis. It's much like your color. I wouldn't think that would be a popular color for a prosthetic penis. A freckled. Speckled. Speckled. It's a world penis.
27:28Well, I may already have one. We'll talk about that later. But that's unbelievable to me that because I because I know there was a period of time where you're you're in the background of television shows. Yeah. You're a background background extra. Uh huh. What kind of shows are we talking about? We're talking about like Hannah Montana. I did background work on That's So Raven before I was casting on That's So Raven. One Tree Hill. What else did I do background work on? A bunch of stuff. Do you ever look at those shows and you can like look for yourself? Yeah, I could see myself in it. I wanted to do a show about that.
28:01Like who's in the background or whatever. Like before they were celebrities, where were they? What were they doing? Like, I feel like I've met so many celebrities that have done little things like that. Like just to get familiar with the set. Like it was really important to me to do extra work just to like understand how everything worked. I even did like I worked in the sound department for a little bit, you know, just to learn how like because my goal is to one day maybe own a studio, maybe like, you know, be in charge of the whole production. And I need to know like what everybody's job is so that I'm not expecting too much from like I need to know.
28:32And like if they're not doing their job, then I know like you're not on your shit. And it's clear. This is why. Because I did it. I did that job. Yeah, I did that job. I know what you're supposed to do. First of all, you are going to do that. Anything you say you're going to do, I'm down with it. I just think that's going to happen. Yeah, it'll happen. You've made so many things happen just through incredibly hard work. Yeah. And talent. Yeah. Not quitting. I don't quit. I'm not a quitter. Especially if it's a vision that I can see in my mind's eye. I'm like, it's going to happen. When? I don't know.
29:00But I'm going to make it happen. That's important too. When? I don't know. Because I think a lot of people get impatient. Think, I'm going to make this happen. It's going to happen. No, no, no. You got to give up to a greater power, whatever that means to you, that I'm not in charge of when it happens, but it's going to happen. Yeah, I'm going to help facilitate it. So I do something every day towards it. Something in that realm. Like when I worked at the youth center and I was in charge of activities, I'm like, I'm going to get them to do all the things that I always wanted to do. and what's in the entertainment room.
29:26So we would like sit in the audience at TV shows and I would be learning how the cameras work, learning how this works, see how they tape and film sitcoms. And I would take them snowboarding and surfing and riding horses and all the things like, these are the kind of movies I want to make. I want to snowboard in a movie. I want to surf in a movie. I'm the Black Gidget, you know? I'm riding horses. That's the title right there. I'm going to ride horses. When I first met you, I yelled, Black Gidget! I remember that. And I got in trouble, remember? You said one of your favorite movies or a movie that influenced you a lot was Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
30:03Yes. Why? Well, because, first of all, that was my first time ever seeing people in cartoons together in one thing. And it was, I think, a great story. Also, it gave me great ideas. When a detective says to the rabbit, why are all these people doing these nice things for you? He said, because I make them laugh, Eddie. If you make people laugh, they'll do anything for you. And at that point in time in my life, I barely could read. I was having a hard time in school. I'm having a hard time functioning just in general. I'm like taking care of my sisters and brothers. I'm stressed out to the max. And I'm like, that's the ticket.
30:37That's what I'll do. That's how I'll make friends. That's how I'll get people to help me. I'll make them laugh and they'll do anything for me. And that is the way that I was able to make it through junior high and high school and elementary. All that was like, I'm going to make friends by making them laugh. not to take it down, but people do need to know what you went through. Your dad walks out at, how old are you when he was? Three. Jesus. Yeah. Yeah. I mean. And you later reestablished a relationship with him for a time. Yeah. And then he passed. Yeah. And then your mom had this accident. How old were you when she had the accident?
31:10I was like eight, about to be nine. And it was a bad car accident. Really bad. And it changed her personality. Changed who she was. I I like lost the love of my life. But she was there. Her body was there, but she wasn't there. It's like, I don't know if a demon got in here. I don't know what got inside of her, but it wasn't my mom anymore. And she became violent and like verbally abusive. And it was like, I just want my mommy back, you know? And, but I loved her so much. Like this is the first person I ever loved in my whole life. Like this is the first person I ever loved. So I'm going to do whatever I can to try to help her, try to heal her, whatever.
31:45she was so mean to me and I wanted to like fight her all the time sometimes I wish she would have died but I didn't really want her to die like it's fucking hard because who is this lady in my mama body because it ain't my mama it's very I can't think of anything more confusing to a kid than my mom's still here but she's she is not my mom the way I knew her yeah and because of this injury that's not who she is anymore right and I didn't understand that the injury I didn't understand Like, there's a lot of things. I was young. Right. And I'm just I'm just like, take your medicine. Like, get better.
32:22Why don't you why don't you let me enough to take care of yourself? Like, fix yourself. Get fixed. Like, give me my mommy back. Yeah. Yeah. But it don't work like that. No. But I'm glad that I've been able to do all the things that I'm able to do and made enough money to get her the best help, the best doctors, the best nutrition, the best of the best. Does she understand the scale of your success? I don't think. I know she knows I'm successful. I don't think she realizes that I'm an international sensation. Well, you are. And that people care about me. They do. And I didn't realize people cared about me the way they do until I got arrested for DUI.
33:03And it was on CNN and PBS and Korean news. I mean, there's no excuse now for studios to say, she's not international. Oh, yes, I am. Oh, yes, I am international. They're talking about me in Korea and in Africa and China. They're talking about me on the BBC. They're talking about me all over the world. They're talking about my ass in Iceland, baby. I am international. There are three people in the Antarctic right now. It's like, did you see what happened to Tiffany and Beverly Hills? Like, I am important. Like, I have to find the positive in everything. Like, that's like you just had a gusher of positivity right there.
33:43That was fantastic. I mean, if you Google right now, Google right now, famous black women arrested for DUI. When I first Googled it, it was just me and Josephine Baker. Now Glorilla trying to come up on me.
33:58And I'm going to tell you, I know for a fact there are a lot of famous women that have been arrested for DUIs, but nobody is talking about it because don't nobody care about them. People care about me. OK, they care. They care if I take a nap in Beverly Hills. Eduardo just checked it out. I verified it. First thing that comes in, Anthony Haddish. Yeah, and it's just me for like two pages, right? And then there's Glorilla. And then Glorilla is like, you keep scrolling down. Yeah, yeah. Must be killing her, right? And back in January when I Googled it, it was me and just Josephine Baker. I said, damn it, I'm a legend.
34:34That's good company to be in. Yeah. Yeah, I got to start my rainbow tribe.
34:43Take my ass to France. Parlez-vous français. Parlez-vous. Faites jacques, faites jacques. You talk about you did therapy but found that you were just trying material out on the therapist. I love that part because I completely understand. It's like, what do you talk about? Like, I don't know, the community that I grew up in, you don't talk about your problems. You don't put that, you don't like air your family business. So I'm sitting here with this therapist and I'm just like, well, let me run these jokes. Let me run this. Like, let me run that. Like now I'm realizing I'm paying money to make this half a laugh.
35:19This is not cool. This is not going to work for me. But, you know, that that therapist ended up suggesting that I do comedy as a hobby because I had stopped because I needed to make a living. And twenty five dollars a show is not making a living. And then I started like doing comedy as a hobby and immediate, you know Vargas Mason? I know the name. Yeah. Yeah. Vargas, Vargas has been doing comedy forever. And he saw me performing on this open mic where I was just, you know, trying it out. But just like my first time, like getting back, like, OK, I'm gonna start this hobby. And he's like, you're funny.
35:50You should do this show with me. We're doing this show. It's like a women's conference and blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, yeah. He's like, yes, 15 minutes. You get$50. I was like, I'm there, bro. I am so there. and I get there and I'm doing my thing and I am bombing. I am bombing hard because I'm doing like all boyfriend jokes and stuff and some dick jokes and turns out that that whole room was lesbians. And they are heckling me and they're like, I got a dick bigger than your boyfriend. I'll take you somewhere. I'll show you. And I was like, no, I like his. It has a heartbeat.
36:28No one told you who's the audience? They did not tell me. And that's when I learned you got to know who your audience is. Yes, you do. You got to know your audience. And I bombed. I bombed bad. But I stayed up there the whole 15 minutes because I wanted my$50. But I wasn't sure if he was going to give it to me because I bombed so bad. It was so bad. It was bad, bad. Like, I felt like a piece of meat up there. Just like, oh, this is horrible. And I go backstage and I'm trying not to cry. And he's like, whoa, rough room, right? It gives me my$50. And I was like, oh, you paying me anyways? Oh, I'm doing this for the rest of my life.
37:01I just got to figure out how to get better and better and better. And that's what I've been doing ever since, getting better and better every chance I get. And I do make mistakes and I do bomb from time to time. But that comes, that's the nature of the beast. And every fail is a lesson to be successful. And don't say that shit again. Try something else. Yeah. Yeah. Also, there are times where you try something, it doesn't work. And I don't know if you've had this, but it just you try something, it doesn't work. But it sounds so corny, but like opens a door to something else that might work. It do you know what I mean?
37:35It's not just, oh, that didn't work. I won't say that again. But sometimes it leads to something else. It does. And I'll look, I'll run a joke like six times, six different shows. If it doesn't work the six times, then I know, OK, this is probably not the right route to go. This is not the correct wording. The idea to me is funny, but this is not this is not what's this. Don't hit. Don't don't do this one no more. But maybe the premise is good. So try it a different way and rewrite it this way. Have you noticed that if you work too hard on something, it's not coming. It means it's not there. Right.
38:06Like sometimes the best things just come so easily. And I cannot tell you how long. It took me a long time to learn this, but I got a work ethic and I would work and work and work on something. And it's just not there. And then I realized if you're working that hard on it, it's not there. You got to just walk away. You got to let it go. Got to let it go. And when in doubt, throw it out. Yes. When in doubt, throw it out. If you're doubting it and like it's not getting it, let it go. I've been practicing that a lot lately with relationships and all kind of stuff. And I've been throwing stuff away.
38:38But I am still a hoarder of clothes because I think I could fit in this again. I know I didn't wear it. I haven't worn it since 99. But I will get that small again. I might be 70 years old, but I will wear that crop top one more time. Do you relate, Sona? Oh, my God, yes. It's so sad. The clothes that I have in my closet that I just won't throw away. I don't want to give in to the fact that I'm a large now and I used to be a medium. I can't do it. Oh, my goodness. Some of my stuff I've given to my sister. This is my issue. Like, I need to, if I give away clothes and when I do, and I usually do about two, three times a year, I, like, have to give it away to charity.
39:15Because when I give it to, like, my sisters and I see them wearing it, I want to rip that shit off their back. Give me that back. I'm like, hey, that's mine. Hey, why it look better on you than it does on me? I'm like, did you take that out of my closet? They're like, you gave it to me. I'm like, oh, yeah, I did give it to you. But inside, I'm like, I should take that shit back.
39:45Okay, so you've had this crazy success. You haven't changed. You say in the book, you talk about Groupon. You're still using your Groupon. Still use my Groupon. Okay. Yeah, I just bought some weights on it just recently. Oh, yeah? Yes, some kettlebells. Oh, kettlebell. Okay. Do you ever walk around with those weight vests? You know, some people do that. I just bought a weighted vest. I was walking with my wife the other day, and then at one point it's getting hot, so she takes off her sweatshirt or whatever, and I see that she's wearing this, looks like a bulletproof vest, and I said, what the fuck is that?
40:18And she was like, oh, it adds like 20 pounds to my walk so that I'll work harder. I didn't know. I thought, I mean, she didn't tell me, first of all. But again, we haven't touched each other in years. That's the first line of defense against you. Yeah, she said this protects me. The chastity vest. This protects me. He won't touch these tits. His scaly hands aren't getting me. But you got one of those. Yeah, I just ordered one on Groupon. Yeah, it was like 50 bucks. And it's a 20-pound weighted vest. I just ordered it and the kettlebells. Yeah. Because I want to like walk with that stuff. That's so funny.
40:55Me and your wife should be friends. Let's do it. She would love it. Let's go on a weighted walk. She would do it. She's cool. What's that? Okay, take it easy. She's cool. She's really cool. Yeah, I married well. I did the right thing. Good. In your book, you talk about you found this thing called a rage room. I don't know what a rage room is. What's a rage room? Oh, my gosh. A rage room. So it is a room where you can go and you can break stuff. I feel like it's perfect for white men. All the movies I've seen where y 'all just tear up rooms. And I'm like, who's going to clean that up? But you go to this place.
41:29I go to this place called the L.A. Break Room in Van Nuys. And they have like crates full of cups and bowls and plates. And you can just throw them against the wall and break them. You can like they have old appliances in there, ovens, microwaves, refrigerators, stove, chairs. Oh, there's one chair. I fucked that chair up. Everything I had was like, it's better than sex. It's such a great release. and I just tore that shit up, demolished it, and nobody is mad at me. Nobody's mad. I've never heard of, I mean, I want to do this. I do, I've heard about them and they're awesome. I've never been, but.
42:06It's great for a date night too so they can see how angry you can be. You know, how destructive you can be. But I'm not destructive like that, but oh man, it feels so good. Oh, I could break some stuff. One time I went, they had all Ronald Reagan library cups, mugs. Whoa. I was like, I hate to do this to you, Reagan, but you did bring drugs into our community.
42:32And I demolished them. Your war on drugs was garbage. You mentioned your community. You, you know, I love is you live in South Central and you keep doubling down and buying homes in South Central, right? Yeah. That's fantastic. I mean, what now, how many, I mean, I don't want to get too specific, but you've bought a lot of properties. Yeah, I only own one. Okay. Okay. But the foundation, the LLCs, the trust funds, they own many. And every time I do a movie or a TV show, I buy a piece of land. I always tell them, like, make sure I get paid enough where I can buy, like, an apartment building, where I can buy something that can make a difference.
43:14You know, when I was little, I used to think I was going to be the queen of South Central Los Angeles. I want to be the queen of the hood. And now, like, on my street, I own. Well, the trust owns many, many homes. That's fantastic. And then apartment buildings and duplexes that I own, I house foster youth in it. I rent them out to organizations that help foster youth get housing and life skills and all that. And they house a bunch of them. But they don't know that I own it. But I do come by and mentor and talk to the kids. And yeah, and really, I'm just checking to make sure they didn't tear my shit up.
43:51It's a rage room. I'm like, why is it footprints on the ceiling? I'm here to mentor you and also check up on stuff. Give you good life advice, but check. And you know what's so cool is there are these big after parties after events, like whether it's the Emmys or the Golden Globes or the Oscars. But after one, you just went back to the neighborhood. Yeah, I went right home, right to South Central LA. Yeah. Yeah. So you skipped the fancy party. I went, oh no, so okay, so. I went to the fancy party, took a picture, and then left. You talking about when I went over to my homegirl house over in Compton?
44:29Yeah. Yeah. So she was having a car party. And then the police came. And I took pictures with the police. My face was beat for the guys. But, yeah, I went to the event. And I took some pictures at the little after party. Left from there. And, like, changed my clothes. But I didn't wash my face. And I went over there. It's like, bitch, you're all cute, looking all good. I'm like, yeah, but let's let me whoop that ass in spades. We playing spades. We're here for the spades. And then I guess I don't know. Some people took pictures and posted and then the police found out I was in the community and they came over and like we're here to protect you.
45:05Make sure there's nothing happen to you. But I'm like, I come over here all the time. Don't let me happen to me. Like I'm queen of the hood. You are not the queen of the hood. In my mind. Well, you keep buying these properties. You are. well hey landlord yeah lord of the land also you and i have something in common we both have a wax uh figure of ourselves oh yeah you got a madame tussaud's wax figure yes i have one i don't know it's in hollywood somewhere it uh and every now and then someone will be visiting and they'll take a picture and for some reason it's me they did it when i was behind a desk and i'm pointing I don't know why like Conan's big thing is he points but people send me these random photos of them posing with this uh how do you feel about it it's weird it's really weird because what people I don't know if they realize this you know they take exact measurements yes for they take easily a thousand measurements yes of every inch of your body of every inch of your body and And they're like measuring the distance from so that it's a perfect replica of you.
46:16And then they like match your hair and they match. And so I look at it sometimes and I think that's just weird that that's it's somewhere in Hollywood. God knows. There it is. Oh, my God. Oh, that was skinny. Oh, boy. Yeah. It kind of reminds me of that member that McDonald's character. Ronald McDonald. No, not McDonald. Mac Tonight. Mac Tonight, the talk show guy. Oh, right. Yeah. Maybe that's why everybody loved your talk show so much. You were Mac McKnight. I was Mac McKnight. You know what? I got to say, it doesn't, it looks, it doesn't, now it doesn't look like me. No, it doesn't. The nose is me and everything, but.
46:53It doesn't really look like you at all. Yeah. No, it looks like you're sick. You're better looking. You're way better looking. I was very sick at the time. I do remember that. They got the dead eyes right. Yeah, they got the dead eyes. They got the dead eyes. You know what? It looks like they took someone's hand that was holding a gun and just took the gun out. And God knows. This guy, bang, bang. So you went through that experience. Yes. Did you like it when you saw yourself or did you? I did. I thought she was so beautiful. I'm like, wow, this is like so beautiful. But I didn't like it's no like in looking those eyes and it's like dead eyes.
47:27It's like no hurt ever been experienced. No, this is not a real human. But if I could make a clone of myself, boy, she would be cute. do you know they cloning dogs now? I did know that. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm like, if they can clone dogs, then they could clone me probably. Do you want to be cloned? I mean, they would, it would have to grow up like a baby and everything. Like, right? Yeah. No, they're not going to, you're not going to show up as you are now. No. But you're, but you're, are you okay with raising? Myself? Yourself. I would raise myself so good. Yes, you would. And then I don't need no man, like no child support, no, no, no man.
48:04Like, but then I would have to find him a dad. because that was the problem. I think I needed a dad all the time. So I would get all my gay homeboys to be dad. And then just, you know, yeah. That's such a weird idea. That you clone yourself as a baby Tiffany. And I see me. And then you raise you and you give yourself everything that you didn't have. Not everything. I just give me what I needed. Okay. Not all the stuff that I didn't have. Just what I needed. more hugs, more kisses, more words of like, you're doing a good job, I'm proud of you, you can do anything don't quit, man, I will put her out the house so she can learn struggle at like 12, 13?
48:49no, at 18, she gonna have to learn how to survive, I will make her camp in the woods at like 13 give her supplies and leave her in the woods for three days no one does that, would you tell her about the enzymes and sperm disease? yes, I'm gonna tell her about the enzymes and sperm disease. I'm like, don't believe what you read on TikTok. It's all lies. Matter of fact, I don't even think I'm going to teach her how to read so she don't get her heart broken. Wait. You know what I'm saying? Okay, you're going to give her what she needs, but she can't read. Yeah, she can't read. I don't think I'm going to let her learn how to read because there's so many teenagers right now, like the suicide epidemic is crazy amongst teenagers because they're reading all the stuff that people are saying on social media and they're attacking them and they don't know how to handle it because they took bullying out of school, right?
49:31So now you don't know how to handle just the bullying of words and you take that personal, kids. Teenagers, like that's what I'm... Just don't let her have a phone. She can read. Yeah, no phone. Yeah, she gonna get a pager. Yeah. Yeah, I'm bringing pagers back. Yeah. I'm gonna put a tracking device on her. Like, time to come in the house. Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. I gotta go inside. Like...
49:54I don't know. But I feel bad for kids today because it is really hard. And I appreciated all my bullies. Like I've sent them little thank you notes. Like, thank you for making me so strong, especially to my mom. That was my biggest bully. And I really appreciate all the stuff that she said and did, even though it was mean and nasty and hurt my feelings, prepared me for the horrible social media world that we have today. It doesn't really bother me. But do you read stuff about yourself? Hell yeah, I read stuff about myself. Hello? You gonna sit here and tell me you don't read about you? I don't, actually.
50:25You don't? You'll back me up on this. He actually doesn't. I mean, when people send him articles and he just won't read them. Because you can't read, huh? I knew it. Damn it. I'm above that. I might get my feelings hurt. Can you read, Conan? I can't read. Got that earwig in. They tell him everything to say. No. I try. I mean, I do sometimes, but I try not to. Because I just think like it can't. I think if it can help me, but if it's just some random person saying they don't like what I'm doing. I don't know what the point is of me knowing that because I'm not going to change at this point. No, I'm not going to change either, but it is kind of interc...
51:07Okay. In my mind, I think they're saying all this stuff. These people, especially if it's a long paragraph or if they make like a whole YouTube video about how much they can't stand me in my, in the back of my mind, I'm thinking they love me. This person cares about me so much. They took a lot of energy and a lot of time to say anything about me. And like, when people are like, we should cancel her. She should be canceled. Isn't she canceled? Like I think to myself, dang, you took time out of your day to comment on me, which means I shouldn't be canceled. You actually care. You care about, I'm doing my job as an entertainer and I'm making you feel something.
51:41So I am successful in the long run. I beat you. I win. But still I have endometriosis. So on my cycle, I do become evil and I do take it back to the 1900s and I do go on there and talk shit about them real bad real bad and I have to pray on that like please forgive me lord for what I'm about to do but I have to destroy this fat bitch right now that's one of my favorite prayers
52:14I'm about to hurt your child's feelings I apologize but I'm gonna hurt your child My bad. But I gotta attack her soul. I'm sorry, Lord. Please forgive me. You shouldn't have gave me endometriosis. I wouldn't even have time. While I'm sitting here in pain and bleeding, clots and clots of blood. I wouldn't be thinking about committing murder on this woman's spirit.
52:44Endometriosis. Oh, man. Yeah. Some people try to say I'm crazy. I'm not crazy. I have endometriosis, okay? And it causes me to behave in certain ways because I'm in pain. And it's a hormonal imbalance, apparently. That's what somebody just told me. It's your hormones. They're imbalanced. Okay, well, what's the fucking... Balancer of the hormones. Give me that shit. Is there a leveler to level out of your fucking hormones that keep me from bleeding clots of fucking blood? How am I not dead? How am I still living? I'm amazing. That's why I'm a fucking superhero.
