It's mad, man. - God fight me. ♪ Check it in, come pull it up, bitch, y'all ♪ - Oh, y'all think it's mad. ♪ That's a way, y'all think it's a way ♪ ♪ You better wake up and pay the attention, y'all ♪ - And congratulations. - Thank you so much, thank you. - This is amazing, this is gonna be so good. Now listen, we also wanna give a special shout out to Ancestry for sponsoring this episode. So give it up for Ancestry, y'all. Yeah, boom, boom, boom, boom. Now, this is gonna be an episode unlike any other because we're inviting back some of our very favorites that made this year one for the record books, including the very first guest that we had right here at the grill. Give it up for a kid though. - What's up, Ancestry? - What up, man? - I already started drinking a whole year of mine. - Bruh, I know. - Bruh, I know. - Bruh, me? - I know, God, I was-- - Dang, I just was so excited. - See how you do, you see how I'm doing. - I know. Get you a friend. - No, I'll bet. - Get you a friend. - I bet, Scott. - That's my bet, but you know how little watermelon, more watermelon. - A little watermelon. - It's so fresh. - It's so fresh. - Margarita. - It's so refreshing.

(laughing) - Here's to the lamb. - Mm-hmm. - Mm-hmm. - I see what you did there. (laughing) - What would you say is your cookout identity? You know what I'm saying? We're having a little cookout celebration. - Ooh, okay. - Yes, tonight. - Okay. - What would you say, is are you the, are you the umk at the grill? You got a rack of lamb starting on dinner? - I'm not you doing it. I don't got no, I'm burgers, dogs, brats, chicken. - That's your damn. - I haven't reached the extent of my ability. - Do you want me to do a rift of that, I mean? - Do we pass you the ox? Are you the cousin? It's like, when the food ready, do you just come back from the walk? - I'm gonna get the spit. I don't come back from the walk. - You don't come back from the walk? - You don't walk with crap. - Put the sunglasses on. - I don't got the walk. - Maybe you go with me? - No, no, no. - Through the valley. - I don't, I walk with him. I don't walk with him. Amen. - If it's time to like get the spades going, get the uno going, get the taboo going. - Okay. - I'm gonna gather the troops. I'm gonna talk the most mess. - I'm gonna make it funner. - Okay. - However, it can be more fun. That is my responsibility. - Okay, and with that. - You don't want me on the grill for the good, good stuff. I can get you the basics. - What? - I can get you the basics. - Okay, but what about the sides? Like a macaroni and cheese. You know, we had a conversation about the potato salad. - Scott. - No. - And the potato salad baked beans. Chef Jeff, which one gotta go? - Potato salad. - Of the two. - I'm sure. - Of the two. - Of the two. - Of the two. - Potato salad. - To the loop. - To the loop. - That's what I said. - That's why you don't want me around, 'cause I will stop by the grocery store and pick up the potato salad. - I know that. - 'Cause I don't make you know never mind. - I don't know that about you. - I'm not a chef. - And my expectations for things are very low. (laughing) - I will grab some Hawaiian sweet rolls. - I'll grab some. - No, you will not. - I will not even go try to fake 'em off and heat 'em up and put 'em in a little thing. - One time. - If you get there. - One time. - When we first moved that ladle. - I'm not okay. - I'm not okay. - I'm not okay. - And I bought some ribs from Dickies early before anybody came. Put 'em in the oven. And then that's people arrived. I was like, "Y'all ribs just came off." - They ready. - Ribs are all ready, ready. - That sounds like a power move. - I don't know. - Who in the hell they gonna know? - And who cares? - Especially, did you put a little bit extra sauce on there? You just really put 'em in the oven and said, this is what I did. - And nobody questioned me. - 'Cause the food. - 'Cause they were good. - The food was ready before they got there. - The cardinal rule of having a cookout. Please have the food ready when y'all said the food was gonna be ready. - Well, so you know we black. - I'm actually surprised. I smell anything here. I thought we might be eating-- - Chef Jeff is trying to come for you. - You know, it is different when you want to come. - You trying to come for you? - You helping to set up, go ahead and grab those table. - I agree. - I'm not, I'm not currently setting out too late. You're cleaning up. - I'm ready because that's me. - And that's why you gotta come two hours into the invite. - It's true. - But you, you work in production. - It's so, we got to be a little early. - So I'm 30, me, 70, and 30. - But I'm glad to arrive in, I smell things. - Yes, I smell, I drink things. - Good things. - I can drink good things. - You hear me? This is how I like to arrive, people who like to arrive with me. - That part. - Yes, sir. - You know, when you came on this show, our very first episode-- - Yes, that's how you-- - That's how you for having an eye for talent. - I mean, really amongst, amongst everything you do well, we really set the tone. - Okay, that's not me, Scott. That's a, that's you. I said, who could I get, who do I know? Who's in my role of decks? - Okay. - Okay. - Okay, we'll set it off right. - Any day? - Any day. - Remember, we had the conversation. I think it was the night the episode dropped, and that sister Bieber and her smoothie. - Since had a baby and everything. - She don't lift her a lot. And we don't put some money into her pockets and air one. - And air one? - Ain't nobody sent me nothing. Did they sent you anything? - I'm gonna tell you something. I'd like to think that part of Justin Bieber's new album is thanks to us. - He don't put some of that air one money into-- - Into that album. - Track six and seven is us. - You hear me? - He wouldn't have had the money. - If he gets a Grammy now, I'm standing up. (laughing) Let that make it a Grammy now. And think I'm not gonna stand up in that place. And be like, "You're too tall, Abraham." We did it. You think I'm not too crazy? - I love that! - I just showed that on mine. - I love that. - Let me tell you something about it. But there was something that we talked about beyond the smoothie. - Yes. - Was getting that meat cooked. - Yep. - Chef said, "I can't cook it like that." Chef said, "How old?" And how would you like your meal prepared? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Okay, well done. Well, let me see what chef is gonna say. - Yeah. - Chef Jeff? - What's going on? - Is it that y'all get a class when y'all going through the chef in certifications? - That says, "Don't you ever cook nothing with her?" And you give everybody who want it well done a hard time because why would y'all even ask how we want the stuff cooked if how we want it cooked is outside of your depth? - You know, I don't know why it's asked because it needs to just be served. But it's about the quality. 'Cause when you're well done, you still eat that steak for like three days. - Where's I'm gonna say? The true measure of skill might actually be being able to cook a steak well done and it's still be delectable. - Everybody can put a little sizzle on two sides. Sizzle here, sizzle there. And now you got a good steak. - It'll be delectable if you eat it as soon as it come off. But once that thing's come off, gets to your table, it's already cooling down. That meat getting tough versus if you have a medium rare or medium, it's just nicely resting. The juices are getting all in there. So you hear what I heard. When it's plated, you need to bring it right to my table. - Right. - Why are we sitting anywhere? - Don't worry about table 17. We got a well done steak. We got to get to the meat. - I have a question, can I ask you some a question? - Why do y'all ask if y'all not gonna do? - Why is that the illusion of choice? - What I love is just, can I ask some questions? - 'Cause I want to know, right? Just tell me I can't have. - Just tell me I can have it. - Both of y'all are well done people. - I'm not even a well done. I'm just asking, why are you asking me? - Why are you saying that? - You can be well done if you want to. - I ain't well done. I ain't finna argue with no steak and we ain't finna wrestle over it. - I'm well done. - You well done. - Yeah. - Being co-sina, being co-sina, I can say it in almost every language. (laughing) - Now do y'all really be messing with the food when we send it back? - Nah, nah. It's too busy in a restaurant to mess with anybody's food. It's annoying. So we might make it last. So you just gotta wait on purpose. But in my experience, it's too many eyes. In the kitchen and it's too busy to actually mess around with the food. - Yeah. - It's sick. - I might make you wait. - Yeah. - I might put you at the end just to make you angry. - Right, yeah. - Now you're trying to cut to meat, the whole table movement, and everybody else will reserve. 'Cause I still want you to enjoy the food so you come back. So I'm not going to mess it. - Ain't that it? - But you roll your eyes. - Oh, well done. - But somebody says, well done, are you like, oh my god. How much are they paying me for it? 'Cause I go, hey, how many of you want it? - How do you want it? - How does it feel? - Feel like I'm paying for it. - One thousand percent. - I don't give you my American money, give it to me my way. - Especially if you're going to ask, that's the thing. - That's the thing. - Because they don't ask you other stuff. When other stuff is just like, you pick that on the menu, they just cook it. - Right. - So if you say you can't ask, put it in there. - Just say, this comes served rare. And I'm gonna say, when you come to the table anyway, can I get that well done with no onions and no mushrooms? And you're going to look at me and say, the chef says, no modifications. And then I'm gonna get the Caesar salad. - Right. At least I don't. - Her steak with no flavor, no onions. They have no mushrooms. - It got flavor, put some butter on it. - Okay. - This, what I was a challenge is skill. You know what I mean? That's what's wrong with the generation of these days. - That's the wrong with these kids. - See, they don't want to work for nothing. (laughs) He goes saying, ain't got no flavor. 'Cause they got no onions. and they ain't got no mushroom. You know what all kind of season that they got in the mess? - They ain't got all kind of stuff in there. - You ain't got no champagne, butter, nothing. - I mean, you know? - And then dry stink gon' suck it all up. - Sure, they gon' suck it already. - Already. - Already got, he ain't got no health. - We talkin' about hypothetical stinkin' here. He put that lambshop down hard. - Hard. (laughing) - And you ain't gon' get in that, man. (laughing) - The lamb is meant to be served rare to meaty. - Do you get, do you get well done lamb? - What? - Is it me? (laughing) - I get well done salmon, can't. - Nah, I do well done salmon. - Oh, that's where you draw the line. - I don't like no salmon still swimming. - Oh, I don't like it. - But your beef can be in their name. - My beef can be, I can bite the cow walking. (laughing) But that salmon better be crispy, though. - I'ma tell you, I can't do it. - I don't like it all gooey. - It's gooey. - But I'll eat sushi. That's the thing, if you're not gonna cook it at all. - I eat sushi? - Yeah, I eat like a tempura. - I eat like a-- - Well done, sushi. - Yeah, like a, like a, what's it called, a spicy California roll? You bet a spicy California roll? Would they put the hot sauce on the roll? - Yeah, the, what's the one where they put the cream cheese and the shrimp tempura and then deep fry that? Now that's a roll for your ass. - Please, that's the lock for you. - Yeah, go ahead and do sushi. - Hey, I got nothing to do with Japanese culture no more. - Yes, it does, it's sushi with two own. (laughing) It's sushi, tuna, baby. (laughing) - It's crazy to me to think about the fact that we are, I mean, this is a year celebration. - I can't believe it's been a year. - Yeah. - I got a question for you. How does it feel to have visualized it and have executed it and have it be so well received? Pretty much from episode one featuring, you know, some talented people, but after episode one, 'cause I see any going viral, bro, immediately. - Immediately and multiple episodes. - Immediately, when I knew we were onto something, when people were sending me clips of them playing "Pastly Ox," the game that we played at their own party. I knew that we were onto something really special when I know you still get it. People who are trying that "Haley Beaver Smoothie" that sister Beaver Smoothie for the very first time. - Yep, keep me down. - When Keat Lee said, "Let me see what this smoothie is really all about." I said, "Oh my lord." I said, "The smoke got me." (laughing) - I got wrong cards. I ain't nobody got tons of them. (laughing) - Really and truly, that's when I knew there was something about our immediate vibe and the kind of interaction that you and I had, because we had had a couple interactions before, but most of it was all online. And for you to sit in this seat, and it to feel like immediately I was talking to one of my very good friends. - Well, I think that's you though. You have an ability, 'cause I've watched more than my episode. - Oh, where are you going, Chef James? - Because it's a lamb. - Is it good? - Oh, it's all this time of slice it up for you though. - Okay, I'm ready. - Just toss me a piece. I don't need no plan on that. (laughing) - I'm gonna catch it like a Billy Hanna shrimp. (laughing) - Not, I got it. - You have an innate ability to make everybody seem like your best friend. - Whoa. - Every episode feels like, I don't know if you know this person for five years or five minutes, but they all feel like high school reunions. Everybody, it's from Cynthia Revo on down. - Wow. - I'm like, that's you. 'Cause you know some shows you watch the guests are like a wavling. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Your, this show, everybody matches your energy, which is not coming in shows. - I will be honest with you, Kev. I'm not really entirely sure how to receive that, because I think I just wanted to have a place where I felt like we could be 100% ourselves. - Yeah. - You know, I think I live with this goal, with this purpose statement to be a reflection of the light and the love that I see around me, and to invite people to be as much themselves as possible, so that people watching can maybe be a little bit more themselves, be emboldened to be a little bit more themselves. I think that we're all better off for it, right? - That's a percent. - And so when the show was received, when this was received in such a way, people felt like they were sitting in the seats right next to us, and asked how did me when we go out, who's going to be the next guest? Do you interview regular people? I want to be, ah, you know what I mean? It just felt like this is our show, you know what I mean? And really it's about inviting people, the people who have really made a difference to me, who have impacted me in a certain way, know that and feel that. And man, when I tell you, you showed up and showed out, you really, you helped me know that this was something that we could do. And I think you helped set the bar for everybody who will come on the show to be themselves and to have a great time. Even when we get deep, you still have a great time speaking up. - Yeah. - I know it ain't. - I heard somebody say get deep. - I know that's right, Dad, I'm coming to get some love. - Can you give me some love and some things? - Come on. - How you doing? - Come on, hey, you smell so good. - Well, you know what? - You're gonna love something. - This is it. - Tag one, smell good. You know what I'm doing? You know what I got a little fragrance line and saying hello. - Tag a chance. - Tag a chance. - Come on, take a chance. - You better know. - You better take a chance and tell somebody. - It smells good today. - How are you doing? - I'm amazing. How are you? - I know that's right. I'm doing pretty good. We were just talking about how overwhelming it is to be celebrating the year anniversary of this show. And how much I really appreciate the way that you both showed up. Not only tonight, but how y'all showed up that first time around, we were still trying to figure out how do we even pitch this to our friends. Remember, we were at the White House. - Listen. - Can't we write the White House? - And I was trying to have the conversation and hope was like, - You know what I'm saying. - Can you do this somewhere else? - I said, but I wanted to be on there. I can't forget the show. I want to be on the show too. I said, I slid it in your name, didn't I? - Yeah. - I said, we didn't get to finish our conversation. - Yes. - I do, I will say yes. - We made this vegan chili. - Mm. - Well, we made a version of vegan chili. - It was good. - I'll be honest. I made some meat. - You made some meat? - I made some meat just in case. I was like, if it ain't good, I could've stole some of this turkey in it. - We discovered you had never made chili before. - That's why he ain't trusted. - He had no other body. - I was nervous. - I was nervous. - I was nervous. - When you go to a cookout, right? That's not marked as a vegan, friendly affair. - Right. - Do you bring your own food or do you eat before? Like, how do you manage? - Oh, I bring it. - You do. - I do. - You know my folks, we ain't trying to go in. - Oh, yeah, we're here. - We love your time, baby. You eat less than grass then. - They'll have a salad. - They don't have a salad. - No, they don't have a salad. They didn't have cheese on it. I'd be like, I thought. - I just was home in North Carolina with to the cookout. And I had to bring all my stuff with me. And I put it on the grill myself. They had a little separate grill for me. They said, "You going in the back?" - I'm in the back. - Not in the back. - You know? You can use my grill right here. You can put it on there. And then what you're going to do with the mushroom? - Okay. - Not to go look on you to show this all the time. - They did. They were very intrigued by it. - Have you had any converts to the veganism in the family? - I mean, they'll try it. They'll eat it. - But then they go right back. - Back to the, yeah. My daughter's she vegan again. - Oh, she back? - Again. - She came home. - She came home. - She came on her choices. - Yeah. - Because her name is George. - Her name is George and you're gonna go as she left her. - Okay. - She pleased. - Now, if you were going to a vegan cookout. - Come on, Kay. - Kay, what do you bring? Do you go? Do you show up? - I would go to tabs. I've been to tabs house for many vegan things. - Even Thanksgiving. - Thanks, Kay. - But the thing about tabs is that you won't even know that you're eating vegan. - 1,000%. - One thing I have noticed in tabs can attest to this. What we often are looking for is black people seasoning and texture. - Yeah. - So, jackfruit taco. - Come on. - Little pork taco. If it's cooking season the same way, it really don't matter. And I know, Joe, we had a Tony is vegetarian, not vegan. And one time we had a cookout. We had a chef make Tony vegan everything. He made some carrot dogs. - They do. - Carrot dogs. - They do. - And I know. - And I know. - And I know. - They do. - I'll stop this. - Stop this. - You know, I know what I'm talking about. - Scott. - Kay, are you sponsored by carrots? - I'm $7,000. You got to work the carrots into the message. Is that what it was? - I'm trying to get this carrot dog that was out of this world. - I'm gonna tell you what happened. - All the regular dogs was gone. And I was still hungry. I said, okay, let me try this carrot dog. I promise you. - So, you had a leftover carrot dog. - Yes. - It was good. - How many was left? - It was a lot. - 'Cause everybody was skinny. - Yeah. Nobody believed it tastes like a hot dog. - Yeah. - Scott, it was cooked the similar way. It was seasoned similarly. And once you put the condiments on, they had the texture the same. - You came to get a difference. - Of a carrot and a hot dog. - I wish I had one for you. - You know I'm not a believer. - It's for real. - Eat this carrot and say, just a hot dog. - It's a crunch, y'all. - No, it's not. - Put your meat in this cup. - So you got the raw. - You boil it right first, right? And with all the seasonings in it. All the seasonings that make it taste the same, like, taste of a hot dog. But you boil it not too much, so it doesn't get mushy. And not too little, so it ain't got that crunch. It's right there in the middle. - So you got to out-dentay the carrots. - Baby. - Then you put it on a grill just like you do hot dog. - What I want to know is how many other things that they try before they set it on the carrot as the hot dog. - Is there an eggplant? - They're like, oh no, this is gonna be the hot plant. I got the texture. - No, see ya. - They probably went down the line. - It looks like a hot dog. - I mean. - Like in a shape. - In this, yeah. When you cut it, when you cut the sac. - You cut the sac. - I put it in the middle. - And you skin it. - And you put some, and you put some relish on it. - Baby, that's it. - The kids was eating it too. - My son, my son. - Yeah, they turned them up. - That was eating them for chili on them. - Yeah. - I don't think that we are sponsored by Kim. - I promise you, big carrot has not come on. - Big carrot has nothing to do with this. - Come on. - Vegetables, ink has not paid me. - It is wild. - Promise you, I kid you not, it was, it did the job. - I've even made no pigs in the blanket with a little minicarrot. - Roll 'em up in the lucroside. (laughing) - The name is Cleffa. (laughing) - You might've got me to try it on the name alone. - No pigs in the blanket, you know, you gotta try that. - Ain't no pigs in the blanket. - With the whole time I'm like, now what is it? - I'm scared and breathed. (laughing) - There's a bread ain't no good now. - I get it, I get it. - I got some carrots and bread. - Here's the bread. - I'm not hungry actually. - But who eats in the blanket? - I'm big in the blanket. - Oh, okay, I'll try that. - Which is crazy, because vegans are like, but you eat it with something called a pig in a blanket that sounds good to you. - And once you start thinking too heavily about what you really eat, then it carries that back. - You know what I'm saying? What are you talking about, a hot dog? - You don't want some of these hot snouts and knuckles? - Yeah, it's being a knuckles. - You don't want it. - We got no problem with that. - Yeah, no. - The whole care, we're all gone. - God, God, come here. - Do you see my face? - I carry it. - Roll it back in the room of it. - Oh, what? (laughing) - I'm gonna put them down for you. - Ow. - And throw it in here, but I carry it. - Oh, y'all likes the dead animals. - You're right, Liz and I know it sound crazy. - I know, but that's what I know, it's what I learn. - Bless your heart. - From my childhood. - Shoot. - It's all right, this your business. - I have to say I am so glad to have you here. I'm so excited to have y'all here. It would not be a one-year celebration of houseguests without the two of you, I mean. - And also, I'm pretty sure, get all, I'm not gonna say it. I'm pretty sure we weren't first people to knew. It was his and hers fragrance coming out alive. - We did drop it with you first. - You know, it wasn't explicit. - You know, Lou, houseguests is explicit. - And now, like, to see, like, house party happening. - Look at you. - You know, this is wild. - This is crazy. - Is this the evolution? - Why is? - Oh! - You ain't even getting money here. - You ain't even getting money here, talk! - No, I got a motor here. - I have to switch it up. - Can't get out of here, can't get out of here. - Is this the party? - Is it, is this the evolution? - Can't get in place, I'm gonna go through, can't get. - Look at about a guest, yeah, it's the party. Come on. - So, like, when you think about the fact that, like, you got Stephen Colbert just announced being canceled, right? That late night is gonna shift in a whole different direction. We figure, well, why we? - Why we? - I literally have that thought. The world is changing. - It is every day. - Every day. - And the thing is, like, not only is it changing, it is not going back at all. - No. - I just made this point. Our Cennial was, it may be seen. - We had to be tomb- - You had to. You didn't see movie stars outside of movies. You didn't see TV stars outside of, you didn't even see them talking, right? Outside of movies and Arsenio or, you know, Johnny Carson. - Yep. - Now, comedians go on Fallon tonight or whatever they're in. - Yep. - You wouldn't even know if they didn't tell you on social media. - On social media. - You're not staying up to watch it. Most people are not staying up at 11.35 to watch whatever show comes out. - And they're also watching TV to look at the commercial that says they're gonna be on. - Exactly, you're not gonna see that promo. And so, as the industry was shifting, it was like, well, why would we wait to try to get invited to the old way of doing things? Why not actually show a new way of doing things? - 1,000%. - And so, House Party was born. - Ain't no party like a house party. - Hey, I'm like party dance, don't stop. - Don't stop. - Oh. - Oh. - Okay. - The whip. - Oh, right. - You know, we don't film. - And that's the speed. - It is indeed. Speaking of, not doing the whip. - Oh. - I thought, okay, so here is my big end. - That looks good. - Yeah, look amazing. - Don't eat. - Yes. - And I want you to take, I want you to take this. We've got some kale, some kale, some hearts of romaine. So instead of making like croutons, I did some chickpeas. - I'm proud of you. - What you also should know is that when you go to the store looking for a chickpeat, if you don't find it, it's 'cause it's a garbanzo being. - Did you know that? - God knew that. Y'all didn't know that. - They're the exact same thing? - They're just different words? - Just a different word. - Y'all both the Syrians. - Did you know that? I thought it was a market employee. I was like, so you need to tell me ain't no chickpeas in this whole store? - There is no difference. - It's a garbanzo being. - So wait a minute. - So what's the chickpeat? - Didn't either one of y'all know that? - Huh? - Maybe the idea is they the exact same thing. - So why, why they call it garbanzo be sometimes a chickpea other time? - I don't even really know why they do the different names. - I think it's the age of it, but they're the exact same thing. - chickpea got better marketing then. - You should say chickpea got better marketing. - Yeah. - But yeah, chickpea. - So how much does just a garbanzo be? - Yeah, mixed with garlic and little oil or sometimes, you know, nuts depending on it. - Look at that. - Learnin' somethin' hard. - Chickpea ain't hard to cook. - Garbanzo be. (laughing) - It's just a garbanzo be. - Not you can't believe it. - You just can't believe it. - They all won in the same thing. - Same thing, sir. - Those are two very different names, though. - They the same thing. - Listen, is it like a cow, if it's a cow, it's a cow, but when you cook it it's beach. Nope, it's like a cow. - It is a cow. - And a cow. - And a cow. - There's a reason for it. It's lippin' my mind in the moment. - Markin' 'em. - But they're the same. - Markin' 'em. - Yeah, okay, now tell me. - But you gotta tell me again what the name of the salad is. - This is a chili crisp vegan Caesar salad. - Oh, so it's a spicy. - Yeah, yeah. - This is a chili crisp. - That also has a pasta. Let me break his, oh God, we thank you, 'cause he don't need to be knowing his way around. I guess you. - Yeah, I do, I probably do. - So instead of chicken, I put some gluten-free pasta in there. - Oh, 'cause you know I'm gluten-free. - Yeah, come on, 'cause we bring-- - No soy, come on. - No gluten, no meat. Y'all see the face? Y'all see the face? - It's all right. Y'all see the face? - Oh, you did good. - See that? - Now who made this? - I made it. - A little bit earlier, me and my friend, Nika, we cooked it up, you know what I mean? - See how you just ate you and your friend? - Yeah, well you know, I need a little bit of help. - You do need a little bit of help and it's okay. - Oh, Nika, you're saving my life. I cannot believe I was trying to make this vegan Caesar salad with no vegan cheese. - Listen, how do you do that? - It was not gonna be vegan. - Nika is a genealogy expert and story producer at Ancestry. We discovered together that two of my ancestors are actually immortalized on a memorial in Washington, D.C. for the color troops. - Yes. - I went to D.C. - Yes. - I saw their names, it was unrealistic my mom. - You think your mom? - I think my mom. - I didn't really think your mom. - Yes, to know that that's just part of the experience people can have on Ancestry is wild. - Most people think of DNA just, that's it. And that's not really it. I mean, when you add the records in, especially with your ancestors, we get to their height, their weight. - Yeah, five, seven. - Right, right. - Short game. - Living life as a short game. - You know? - Okay, I've got you a little beverage here. - Thank you. - Yes. - Bam. - And I remember the first time you talked to me, it was like, I knew you didn't know what to expect. - No. - Five percent Iceland? - Right. - Do black people typically have a lot of Iceland blood? - No. - When I tell you I'm going back at Iceland, I'm like, coming to America. (laughs) Or Eddie Murphy and Golden Child, when he was like, my dear brother, no, six. I don't know what language they speak in Iceland. - I think they just speak English. (laughs) - I've been, I'm in luck. They don't speak Icelandic. (laughs) - Icelandic. - You didn't know what the language is. I just used something. - So we got all this stuff already pre-made, and that way on the, when it's time to make the salad, you can just assemble it and keep it moving. - Right. - So we've got our lettuce mix. Okay, now if you weren't here, I wouldn't be using these tongs. - I already know it would be the hand. - I also use a little bit of kale. - Listen, we need darker greens. - You got to, I call it a pre-tube. People say massage, but it's really a pre-tube. You got to scrunch that bad boy up with a little bit of oil. - They want a nice, solid, soft salad tube. - A soft salad tube. And so, because we're not using chicken, 'cause this is a vegan situation, I did a noodle, like a rotini. - Okay. - And then, instead of croutons, toasted? - Carpons. - Yeah, the kids call them chickpeas. - Right? And then you've got your dressing. - Get a nice little drizzle going. - A nice little drizzle. And I used chili crisp in this onion powder, garlic powder. - Which I call that's like part of the holy trinity of black people's seasonings. - That's true. - Right, you're whatever season salt you like, but you always have onion powder and garlic powder. - Hello. (laughing) - Since before time. - Listen. - If you could powder it. - Hey. - Onion and garlic was the first thing we could go. - Let's go. - Let's go. - Listen, you better get you a nigga in your life and to find out how, head to our description to figure out how ancestry can help you in your life. Now, speaking of our life, 'cause, you know, it's our business, you ready to do this vegan cheese? - Yes. - I ain't never done this before. I don't know how this is gonna go. - That's all right, we gonna figure it out. - Is that enough? With the vegan cheese, do you put more or less? - I don't think more cheese is ever bad. - That was vegan. - Yeah, vegan. - I'm vegan. (laughing) - I'm vegan. - Until that lamb come out. (laughing) - Come on. - Come on. - I was with you, John. - I hope you know, man, I took care of the vegan restaurants. - At the time. - Him and Melissa then blew their mind. - Had a whole dinner vegan, vegan, vegan, vegan. Went back to the hotel, pepperoni pizza, please. (laughing) Cheeseburger. - All I had was lettuce and vegetables for it. - Dude, I didn't hear you say, "I'm still hungry." - I said, "It was good though." - It was good. - But it was none of those, like, tasting things. - Y'all right, right, right. - I'm 270 now. - You're a miss in the start. - It was a miss in the start. You don't think I want you to taste it. I want to taste a lot of it. - Oh, yeah. - Bring some more out. - Stop bringing them to the little place now. - No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Look, come on, let's bring some more out. - Let's do it. - Let's do it. - Come on. - Oh, what's going on? - Would you look at some more? - I'd like to see some more. - Oh, and another birch, man. (laughing) - Put this in under a breath. - Yeah, no, no, no, no. - Look, I'd be like, "I'm a birch." - He got little birch. - Yeah, little birch. - Yeah, and that's your business, you know? - It is wild when you think about the difference a year can make. - What a difference? - I think about in particular, Kim, the tour. - Mm-hmm. - Like you are literally, like churches are never the same. - Packing it out. - Man, we were having a conversation there. - Packing it out. What did it feel like? - You know it felt like I was where I was supposed to be. - Okay, no mind me, I'm just gonna go get a pick. (cheering) - I'm gonna be right back. - I'm gonna be right back. - That's a good name. - I'm not waiting, no, I'm really gonna get a pick. - Yeah. - Now there's some vegan choices over there. - Yeah. - Vegan or the corn. - Let me be alone. - The corn looks good. - The corn is all right about you. - The salad and the skewers. (laughing) - If a burger fall on your plate, you can bring it over. - If a burger fall on your plate. - Now there is a, I think there is a lamb chop on this, on the grill that's still cooking. - Let's see how my lamb chop is over there. - And that should be some day. - That should be the way I'm done, you know. - Hi guys. - Hello. - Nice to meet you. - How are you? - How are you? - How are you? - How are you doing? - I'm doing great. - I'm so glad you could make it. - Thank you for having me. - Of course. - Yeah, I love a party. - Hello. - And it's a good little party now. - That's right. - That's right. - It's new. - One of your neighbors knocked on my window. It was like, we saw these cars doing here. - Oh. - Oh. - Not that they know. - Uh-oh. - Oh, we sent the flyers. - I said, you know what, I don't know. - Yeah, we sent the flyers. - I said, I don't know. - Okay, so this is my friend, I can't tell you. - We don't snitch over here. - Is that part? - But why are you asking me? I'm in the car. - In the car? - It's a door right there. - Over there. - You said knock, knock, knock, knock. - You clearly know how to knock. - Glandu, is that who you talking about? - Uh-oh. - You already know. - What's he doing? She's gonna knock on the door a little bit. Let's speak in there. - Yeah, what's happening? - Something black. - No. - Hey man. (laughing) - And that is why she knew. (laughing) - She said it was another one in front of my house. (laughing) - Yep, that's why she knocked on it. - She's a real real real. - Something black is just a real real real. - Something black. - Something black. - Yeah, come on over if you want to. - Come on in. - I was worried about this. - Absolutely, well-cooked. - Really? - You hear me? - I'm eating. - I got some vegan stuff. - For me, like, some kind. - Come make your flake. - We got chickpea on chickpea. That's what I should call the salad. - Chickpea on chickpea. - Mm-hmm. - That's good. - You got a chickpea in the car. - I'm gonna go back to the old thing. Get out of here. - Come on. - No. - Yes. - Yes. - I want y'all to have known this. (laughing) - Chickpea ain't got both of them being the same thing. Me and Scott don't know. - Are you serious? - Tab new. - I thought you didn't know that. - I thought that was in the same family. I didn't know what that was. - I'm not gonna hold you. I just started eating chickpeas this year. - Since then, I really. - Did you do see it, Hamas? - Yes. - So you been eating chickpeas? - That's chickpea. - Yes, that is right. It is. - See that? - When I first moved to LA, I was in, you know, trying to do some, you know, like the bougie thing when you get friends in your first place in LA. And I was like, "Oh, I want to make some guacamole." 'Cause that's what they do in Los Angeles. They eat a lot of guacamole. So I'm in the store and I'm looking. It's nice, very fresh, produce aisle. And I'm looking around and I'm like, "I don't see none of the guacks." (laughing) I see celery, I see parsley, I see cilantro. I see the lemons in the lemon. - You're gonna go with it. - What was you doing? - I don't see. - Nascar. - So I tapped the lady in the store. I was like, pardon me, ma'am. I've got some friends coming over. Like, I was trying to explain the whole situation. I was like, "Could you go through it, ma'am?" - What? - You did not see it. - Could you throw it through all the way? - You would have me in the direction of the fresh guacks. She was like, "The what?" - It must have sounded so crazy. 'Cause I'm right here. She goes in my face. - Oh. (laughing) - The what? (laughing) I was like, "Indignant, the guacks." (laughing) - Can you promise this story by selling us where you're from? - Right. - Please. - I'm from England. - Okay. - Okay. - Okay. - I'm going to East Coast, the race in Indiana. We have guacamole and things, give it? Y'all had it? - Yeah. - I never had guacamole as a child. - Thanks, give it. - Yeah. Like I said, bougie. - I grew up in Compton. I've been in Mexican food my whole time. - Right, that's a West Coast. - But it's bougie and it never. - Thanks, give it though. - In the same place. - First and ever in Indiana. Make it cool to Christmas. - I just tell you, she grabbed me so gently and walked me over to the avocado. - Oh my God. - Picked it up and said, "Young man, this is what you make guacamole with." Put it in my hand and walked away, chucked into herself. Wherever you are right now. (laughing) - I hope you know you bless me though. - Oh, thank you for your service. - The guacamole. - But from now on, we're gonna all call it the guacamole. - We thought guacamole was a fruit of guacamole. - I thought that you made guacamole with guacamole. Why does that sound crazy? - Hashtag guacamole. - But you know what? - When you think about it. - No, that. - Why is it called guacamole? - Guacamole. - In Spanish, avocado is-- - Hey avocado Spanish. - Is avocado? - No, no, it's, it's, no, no, no. It's not. - It's not? It's, uh, guacamole. - What is it? - What is it? - I'm guacamole. - I'm guacamole. - I'm guacamole. - Yeah. - I'm guacamole. - I'm guacamole. - I'm guacamole. - Am I guacamole? - Am I guacamole? - I'm guacamole. - Yeah, I don't know about that. - Let me just see one of these real quick. I can't go ahead and re-want to see. - Let me see. - If your ancestors could see you now, what would they say? - Hmm. - What would they say, care? - You eating good, ain't it? (laughing) - I feel like this. I'm 27, I feel like, they be like, okay, we, (laughing) - You're not right. - I'm too good. (laughing) - We, no, man. - We, no. - I feel like, you're good, ain't it? - 27, baby, oh, man. You're good, all right. - I'm good, I'm good. - You're good. - You're good, but well over to Honda. - You know, we're good. - You're working in it. - You look good on Cam, you look great. - You look good. - You always shirtless online. - I'm a feminist. - You're not gonna be on me. - I'm gonna tell you, Cam, he'd be doing these, he'd be doing these gym, these gym situations, and Cam said, you know what, you got me to gym today. - Yeah. - You got me there today. - All right. - He was in there with that. - Yeah. (laughing) - You were like, don't throw that ball up. - Baby. - Yeah. - I said, I'm not gonna throw that ball. - He about to sleep good tonight. - When you threw that ball up, I was so confused. (laughing) - I kept watching the guy and watching you, and I told him, he's doing it. - He's doing it. - What are you watching? (laughing) - No, what are you watching? - I said, he's doing it. - He just said, the man is doing a push-up, Cam is jumping up. I said, oh. - I don't know how that man did that. - I don't know if I can see it. - I was screaming my knees all up. - You were tearing that gym up. (laughing) - Was it there though? - You was going far. - Was it there? - I'm in there, you're about six, seven years, y'all. - So you head 48-49, you'll be okay, Cam. - Hey. - I see you. - I'm just making myself everything. - I'm 48. - I'm 42. - Yeah. - I'm saying, yeah. - I'm 49. - That was a day off. - I'm 49, it's a joke. - It's a day off. - You ain't hit the 40. - No, no, yeah. - Well. (laughing) - Okay, wait, so what would you say? What would your ancestors think of seeing you now? What do you think they would say? - You know, they probably be glad I'm not even eating meat. I feel like the ancestors is like, this is kind of how we used to eat. - Right. - They probably said, thank you for getting us back. - I heard that. - You know, taking back our hill, because we had to adapt a diet that started to kill us. - Mm. - I heard that. - I think they said, we'll do it and tell. - Yeah. - Now that I know they will be saying, we got different ancestors. (laughing) - We didn't cause it. - Your ancestors will be like-- (laughing) - They won't kill, we'll see you soon. (laughing) (laughing) - I'm a carnivorous. - Sweet girl. (laughing) - I'm telling you that. - No, no. - I don't know if you be a cancer. - No, no, no. - No, no, no. - 'Cause I know tell you. - They look down at this body. - No, no. I know what she's doing. - They look down at that bone. - We went on vacation with TAB. And she was moving on like it. - Don't like it. - And we tried and she was like, oh, y'all, he was talking about it. Don't make me know that I'm alive. (laughing) - First place we go ever be, Riley. (laughing) I get a snake, 'cause I'm hungry. I'm trying to. - I'm trying to. - It's all time fair. - She said. - Oh. (laughing) - Hey, this is what the judge's been doing. - Hit me with the devil worst brother. (laughing) - That's good. - Then I was like, I wasn't hungry anymore. I couldn't eat it like I wanted to. I was just like, I'm gonna take it home. - Yeah, I'm gonna say nothing. - Yeah, he said nothing, but she said a lot. - You had the mamaloo. - I did it. - Yeah, never. - Yeah, no, you got the mamaloo. - I did, I said, oh, you guys, come on, okay. - Big O. - That's nice. - Take it three, four, it's the play, though. - I mean, it was one of the plays where you could choose it. That's it. Oh, y'all going to get out of here. - Oh, they brought the meat to the table. - I said, what's going to do with that? - Dang. - Oh, my God. - Now you got to just waft the whole life. - Yeah, they came on by me, I said, oh, I'm all right. - Nothing, my ass is all proud. I don't know what kid, never leave it. - No, it's no judgment. 'Cause I used to be eating the thing. I'm not out of hypocrite. 'Cause my husband, you know, he's still eating chicken and beef. - She said, but not that meat. - I'm not really in a poor career, me. [MUSIC] Honestly, I feel like they would probably ask me why my hair look different every time I see you. Okay. But like in the best way. In the best way. Truly. And I'ma tell you I love this red. Thank you. You're sweet. It's very good. It's very good. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I thought it was very good from time. Come on. It's good to have you with the next one. Oh, I'm pulling one.

What's a red place in someone else's kitchen? You ain't right. Okay. You ain't right. What's a red place? What's a red place? When you walk in the kitchen and somebody else is kitchen, you know, you about to eat. And it's a red. Oh, I don't know if I'm able to do this here. Oh, I'm gonna say something that's gonna make people mad. It's okay. I just if you have a cat. I'm not. You get out of my brain. If you have a cat, I'm not hungry. Dock can get it there. Can't do what they want. That can't be doing the heart of shame when you ain't at home. Make it biscuit. I'm so sorry. Can't people. You say if you got a cat. I'm not eating her. I'll be with you. Is a unanimous situation, dude. I imagine co-workers have cats. You have cats at home. You bring the stuff to the pot. I'm not hungry. If I had ever seen your picture, your cat on Facebook. Yeah. Cause I'm building a cat. Do anything you want. Maybe they can be in their making cereal. You don't have a choice. They do their own. The picture right. I can't. You go over the next one. Who's that? Who's that? I'll be right. What's something a guest has done that ensure they won't get an invite back? Well, got one of them. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. You know, people. People pee in the pool. Oh, look. Oh, grownups. The kids, anybody. Oh, no. You can't pee. Nobody's personal pool. That's just nasty. Public pool. It's a public pool. Don't pee in my pool. Don't pee in the pool. Can't come back. Change the name in the phone as pissed in the pool. You pissed. Because you don't want to forget. I don't want to. You know, you was a pissing somebody. Everybody in the pool's got to look at that. I'm his free body, but pissed in the pool. Got it. What about y'all? I know that, you know, at your house, there's of course stuff that people do. And you're like, I got two. One time we had, this is why I got a podcast studio to this day. We had somebody. We had shot. And they, they man, God bless you. You get to go to the loop. You know, we got other stuff doing it. They took their shoes. Had their shoes on, sat on the couch, put their shoes under their body, on the couch. This is our real couch. We don't even have shoes. We actually take your shoes off to come to the house. Wow. And we said, I said, let's, we got a, we don't, we can't do productions. You said, you said, shut it down. I said, hey, hey, hey. Wow. Do you mind? Oh, oh, oh, my dad. Like all of a sudden, brother, sister, in Christ. You know, you're not supposed to do that. I have nobody else's house. Maybe you didn't. You walked around in the world. And you put your feet on the couch. Well, I risked my head. Walked around in the world. In the world, Amber, you could have been anywhere. And probably was. And you walked around in the world. If you're the kind of person that puts your feet in the couch, you're the kind of person that will walk anywhere. And the cats in the kitchen. Yeah. It's the same person. Cat got shoes on too. On the counter. On the counter. The cat is holding them, make biscuits. Let's see. Get them out. Come no more. Better back, nobody can come now. You listed up for everybody. Now nobody's coming. This is over. Got a whole thing. You're almost going to get invited. You're like, I'll take my shoes off. Yeah, wait for me. Wait for me. I said, you don't care if I'm starting to think good. You're almost normally like me in a chance the way you say. Because you've never invited us to the house. Never invited us to the house. They've been at our house a minute or time. Yeah. We didn't even know the address. Because that lady. That lady gave me a hard day. Messed up everybody. Home trainer. So speaking of, somebody comes to the house. What is an absolute no-no? You know it's so hard for me because I am so easy going. Longs your mess with my family and stuff. But I can already tell this one right here that you avoid trying to say. Well, it's one right here that you like. There's no people you know who they are. Well, sometimes you gotta think this is it. But I mean, still letting them come back. You did. Yeah, you know some people outstate they welcome. I'm asleep. I'm ready to go. I'm tired. Why are you still here? Everybody is dope. But you have went upstairs and put on my pajamas. And you still when I came back? I can't tell you sick. Yeah, it's got comfortable. No. Yes, you can. You can't take a hand. I'm going to bed. The body is over. You know. But I still be letting them come back. But now you're off to it. You know, I really would pass away. If somebody came down in their pajamas. I would be like, oh my god. In time ago. I should never be that comfortable. I would jump out the window of your front room. But when they said, okay, got comfortable. You're still here. I leave my own parties. I've actually seen you do that. We went downtown for Amber's birthday. Her birthday. The party didn't start till 2 o'clock in the morning. Amber was gone at 2.25. Amber said, Amber. It was her. The day you was born. I think it was the day after. Oh, yeah. She said it in my birthday. They've been over. Not at 2.25. I love having somebody like, you know, my close family and friends. I'll let nobody in my house. Right. But I literally leave. Well, everyone's downstairs. They go get him up there. You go to sleep with people at your house. She's a good night. They know me by now. They're like, oh, Amber with those stairs. They will clean up and go home. That's hilarious. I mean, you know, it's the southern old lady spirit inside of me. You all right? Is it something that's on your mind? Right, within something else you need it. Did you want to love me? I mean, I needed to talk. You were still here. Everybody's gone there. Did you want one on one time? It's all right. See you. I can have embarrassed for you. I'm embarrassed for you. Like you said, you probably know exactly who you are. But you're not going to do it again. Sorry. Is it acceptable to bring store-bought food to the potluck? Yeah. Absolutely. Whoa. Expensive. You got a cat. Oh, I'm embarrassed. Maybe, please. If you're afraid, get it. Please get it straight. I will bring store-bought. Because people, you know the black community, we're going to judge you. If you bring stuff that ain't him. And you never get a second chance. It's true. You mess up one thing for everybody 20 years. Not care of macaroni. I was young. They're not trying to hear it. But you bring stuff for the grocery store and not a lot of everybody knows. It might not. It's more about the like, the gesture. Hmm. Who do you bring it? Who do you bring it again? Pumpkin pie. Pumpkin pie. And that is why the answer is that it's this. Bring the drinks. Yeah. You buy knives, can. But it was for me. [LAUGHTER] I brought a pumpkin pie. And they look at me like. And who is this for? I like it, y'all. Oh my god. I got excited. The mama brought the pumpkin pie. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Hey, come here. That's what I'm doing for. And that's what I'm doing for. Come here. Come here. Oh my god. - Come here, come here, come here, come here, come here. Oh my god. - I'm not strong. - He's excited. Oh, my hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo. - Oh my God. - Oh my God. - You have to have a side chat with Kay, like this. - Yes. - Listen, we love you in this house, but you're not gonna keep causing issues. - Man, I got a ball of key. - Oh, that's hilarious. - He's my only California job. - Well, there you go. - There it is. - Okay, so if you bring a dish to the cookout, right? Are you expected to leave the leftovers, or do you take it home? - When I cook there are no leftovers. - Come on! - And you better let 'em know. - Come on! - We ever hear me talking about-- - Come on! - So are you cooking out this summer, or are-- - No! - Or what?

They put on a pot of coffee. The smell of the coffee is like a signal to people where wrapping things up. - That isn't better, that isn't good signal. - There's something about the smell of coffee and it's-- - Coffee is morning. - It's an in. - I should be having morning at night.

He said, did I do that? - I'm screaming. (laughing) - It looked good, man. - It's doing over here. - Yeah, we got a little bar set up. - All right. - Diamond is on the-- - It's cute. - On the ones and twos at the bar. What I love about a party is a themed beverage, a themed cocktail. - Okay. - And so it's 'cause it's summertime, I figure why not put together two of my favorite things to Kayla and Watermelon. So we came up with the sunset margarita and astral to Kayla is incredible. And we got Diamond on the ones and twos behind the bar. Do you call it ones and twos on the bar? What would you say? - We can call it whatever, I mean, I am mixing up, so I guess we could. - We could hear you. - We could hear you. (laughing) - So what do you say, can we get a little refresher? - Absolutely, absolutely. Let me put that to the side, we gotta get you something fresh. - Okay, sweet. So in this, you've got 1.5 ounces of astral to Kayla. Then you've got your ounce of lime juice. Would you say that lime juice is key for like a summer cocktail? - Oh, absolutely, it's the citrus. That makes everything blend together and pop. - Pop. - Pop. - You wanna pop out and show them, you know what I'm saying? (laughing) And so then of course you've got a little agave. - Mm-hmm. - Level agave. - But then for the summertime, I do also like the star of fresh fruit and watermelon in season right now. Look at that, how red it is. I haven't eaten a lot of water. - Yes, fire. Best way to start your day. The watermelon, maybe not the margarita. - Another margarita. - But like, yeah, this your life, you know. - Yeah, what you want? - You know, but that's not my story. But my day will start done. (laughing) - That part, that part. Okay, so can I muddle that's my favorite part? - You absolutely can. - Oh my god, I love that too. It's so satisfying. - It is. And you don't even like eating some of it. - But it's satisfying to watch. (laughing) - Come on, come on. Watch your ASMR on mute, it's crazy. It's crazy, I just want you to know. That's crazy, but I'm not mad at it. Oh, come on. - Oh, that looks so good. - That looks so good. - Yes, okay. So then. - Are we gonna ask some ice to shake that bad thing? - Oh, yes. - That's fun part too. - I'll shake it again. (laughing) - Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it. ♪ Shake it like a ball of raw pizza ♪ - I'm gonna double-strain just so we don't get no seeds in there. - We unguarnished that wet. - It's a watermelon on a cactus. - Yeah. - And then my friend got a drink too. I think my friend had a drink. - We don't forget. - Oh, come on, come on. - Anybody need a drink? Who need a drink? Y'all need a drink? Y'all better come over here and get it what I look like. Shoot. Diamond got you. - Such a gracious hoe. - Yeah. - So, we talked about earlier, if you bring a dish to the potluck, do you get to take it? - Mm-hmm. - Do you have to leave the leftovers, right? - Yes. - But if you bring a bottle to the potluck, do you get to take the bottle? - When you leave? - I'm leaving the leftovers, I'm taking the bottle. (screaming) - He said, let me be very clear. I'ma leave you the casserole. - Mm-hmm. - Mm-hmm. - But the bottle of extra oil is coming with me. - It's coming with me. - Yeah, it's coming with me. - Who the Lou? - Peri. (laughing) - What I love about getting together with friends and celebrating in particular, we're saying this to Cav and to Tabitha, I'm really, it really needs a lot that y'all showed up and that y'all came to help celebrate the one year. It wouldn't have been the same without y'all. - We love what you're doing and we're fans of what you're doing, so we always want to add to it. And it's great for us in our careers, great for you in your careers. I've been seeing you on the carpet for a years, and I'm always excited to see people on the carpet. And that is not a common thing. - Hello. - Do you know? - Oh, I know. - It's not really color, but anytime we see your face, oh. When I talk to my friends about you, I'm like, oh my God, you got to do a show. It's so amazing and they always know who you are and they're always excited to see you too. - Yes, let's go. - We in there. - Let's go in there for sure. That's right, let's do it. (laughing) - We are a little bit more celebrating to do. - Let's do it. - Y'all doing all right? Y'all look good. Oh, shoot, how you doing? It's so good to see you. How you doing? - I love it, give me some love. - Shoot, I've known that's right. Look at y'all looking all good. - What's y'all doing? - Who's that? Y'all gonna say it at the pool. - At the pool. - Now getting in the pool. - Oh, socks and shoes on. (laughing) - I was just saying to Amber, I really appreciate y'all being here. And I feel like we're at this mark halfway through the year, right? Like where so much has happened in the world, also in our lives. And coming up, I feel like there's also so much still to happen. And so when you think about the rest of the year, what's something that you want to celebrate before the end of the year? - I got a season two of churchy. - Yeah. - Come on. - I got another show on BT that I sold, the hospital doesn't been sold, that's gonna be coming on. - Uh-huh. - I don't sold the thing that was a loss. My God, it's now a win. The Kevin State Studios app, maybe they'll be announced by then. If it's not, it'll be announced here, amen. - What? - I don't sold that library to few. - Let's go, get it. - I don't got a podcast. - Big money can. - Come on, man. - Yeah, come on. - I feel like, you know, it feels like, let me we've all had this. Like you've had a dream of this. You've had the work and now it's time for the win fall. - Come on, I feel like, you know, God has prepared me. 'Cause you know, I thought this was happening in 2003. - Right. - And this lady said, "We gonna take you to Chicago and we gonna do y'all play." I bought a laptop that had malware on it and that lady never called us back. - Oh, you know where we go to Chicago. She finally answered about a month of the shit. I'm pregnant, y'all. - Oh, please. - Hey, but what about my dreams? (laughing) - Dune. - What about my dreams? - Yeah, I got the baby. I got the baby. And I'm not the happy. - What about my wife? - My wife. (laughing) - No, not the dream. - My wife said she was famous. - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah. - She was. - Yeah. - Who went and found, went out. - Who went. - What about me? - She was so. (laughing) - It's more like a new day. (laughing) - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. - We went on that parade. (laughing) - I got these planes up the nose. - Yeah. - So I got you. - She got you. - She got you. - She got you. - Oh, come on, you're right. - I'm just over there. - I was just looking at you, my wife. - I was just looking at you. - This is the work. - I said I'm gonna do it. - Oh my goodness. - Oh my goodness. - With my brother, we are still in agreement with all of us. - That's amazing, bro. - That's amazing. - You did it. - You did it. - Amber, what about you? What's something you want to celebrate? - Oh, I did a lot of work on myself in the past year. And so I want to celebrate how far I've come. I faced a lot of challenges, like just within myself. That was really, really hard to do. Like what they call like shadow work and stuff like that. And it's a continuing, you know, that's the thing that you continue to do. You don't ever arrive to your place. But I am doing so much better than when I think about myself a couple of years ago, how I handle certain things. And a lot of those things still come back around. I'm handling them so much better. So I think it's important to celebrate yourself in those moments to remind yourself how far you've come. - Yeah, absolutely. - Now. - Absolutely. - I love that story. - You know, I didn't have a hit movie. - Didn't happen to already have a hit movie. - Okay. - You know, we got new music that did drop, you know what I'm saying? - I love that. You know, in this industry, I think sometimes, it feels like all we have are the things we're working on or what we are accomplishing or striving for. But I love that you are also part of the equation. Like being a better version of you, because without that, the rest of the stuff doesn't matter. - Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter what you get earned, work for. - 100%. - In here, you're all discompopulated and it doesn't, you know, it won't matter. So I love that. - You have to learn that. - Listen, because when you start to learn that in this industry, they always tell you that you're only as good as your last thing. - Yeah. - It doesn't matter how much you look accomplished. If I let that be my marker to what, how valuable I am to this world in my purpose, I'll never, I'll never continue. I'll never keep moving forward. - Right, yeah. - I love that. - I love that too. - I kind of want to change my answer now. (laughing) - No, y'all, that wasn't real, y'all have a good answer. - We love your answer, that's for my answer. - That made me like a runner. (laughing) - Not even that, that's a fine one. - You don't get too, because that's what I'm selling. - Is that not it? Okay, dad, what is it, what is it? - What as a mother, I am celebrating finally being okay with my children not living with me. - You are. - Well, let me refrain with the girls, 'cause they both have moved out, 'cause they both went back home. - It's gone again. - It's gone again. - It was gone. - 14 minutes of waste got on the apartment. - Okay. - But, you know, we got questioned. I was like, "Here, baby, so we said we got, "you're 13, you got time." - Right. - But when choice left the first time, I was in shambles two years ago. Oh, man, I thought, put me in the white jacket. - Right. - Put me in there. - Right. - I was gonna let you go. - And I think it's because as a parent, you start to second guess, did I prepare them enough for the real world to survive? And me and my husband, both, we just beat ourselves up for a while, right? - Right. - I don't know if they read it. Like, I don't know if we did a good job. Like, you just really started to have these crazy thoughts. And this year, I said, "Yes, I did." (laughing) - That did. - And if she did, - I'm not gonna come in. - There's a dude. - That's right. - And if they don't know, they're gonna learn. - Yeah. - And I'm finally okay with that. So, I'm not stressing. I'm actually excited for them, girl. - To go on their own journey. And it probably, you know, soft as the blow that my son is still at the house. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, he get to be like the only child, I mean. But also, I'm excited because, you know, I can be a little bit louder with my hoods. (screaming) - Amen. - And that's my business. - That's a business. - You say, "Listen." - Hey, you talking to the child. (laughing) - Hey, you talking to the child. - Come on, don't. 'Cause, you know, I'm speaking to the child. I remember, I am so sorry. The cleaner person is. (laughing) God is so good. - Yeah, because we live in a big house, you know. But I remember a time when the house was so small, we had to turn the shower on so you couldn't hear what was going on in our room. (laughing) - Who did you take long showers? - Come on, just turn the shower on. Turn the shower on in the TV and still got a whisper. - Okay, I'm tired of it. - I'm like, "I drink to be grown." - You know, but we are, do we get to be grown? - You know what? - In your own house. - It's very good. - Yeah, I drink to that for sure. Oh my goodness, it's set as a celebration. - That's a celebration. - And meanwhile, I think we got another little bit of celebration right now. - Oh, okay. - Oh. - Oh, okay. - Oh, my goodness. - Okay. - Oh, okay. - We'll do that. - What's that? - You might be surprised to know an adult, a full grown man known by the name of Duran Bernard. - Oh, okay, yeah. - This is what's money right here. Oh, yeah. - Yeah. - You got money right now. - We're painting. - Yeah. - Well, one of us was painting. - And what he was painting. - This was supposed to be a picture of me. - Okay. - Mm. - Um. - Will. - You remember that was the H.E.U.? - Yeah. - This was the H.E.U.S. - The H.E.U.S. is very crazy. - He's not had one birthday since then. - Baby. - The H.E.U.S. - You know, not even that. - Wow. - But you know, why does the state of mind are? - Clearly. - It isn't always making through the brush. - Oh. - Shout out to you, Doran. - Yeah. - For your understanding. - Yeah. - It's expression. - You did. - Do you know that? - Do you know that? - Do you know what, we don't know what that is. But. - Do you know, you can't trust nothing nobody said. - When they do like this, when they say it. (laughing) - Nothing. - Then they say, "Where's somebody like you?" - Yeah. - Where you at? - Oh my God. - I told you. - Yeah. - Doran, you ain't right. You are good at so many things. - Yeah. - I said, I thought I'd set him up. I was like, "You know, we're gonna paint." He was like, "I can't wait." (laughing) - You think you are this? - It's a little terrifying. - Man, I'm trying not to say who is? - Somebody check on Doran. - Right now. Yeah, I think this is the red velvet cake. We don't want to take that. - This is the pancake. - Huh? - A vegetarian. - A vegetarian. - I got you a cupcake. - It's a vegetarian. - I did, I got you a cupcake. - It's vegetarian. - And we sent it to the house. (laughing) - And for too bad, you're gonna be gone. - You know what? - And you're not even gonna be able to get it. - So, you know what, the next time I see you, we're gonna have you a red velvet something. - It's okay, Sam. I won't eat it either. - Uh-oh. - You see, you're not leaving. - You're not leaving. - Come on. - I mean, you know, let's just see. - Oh, oh. - Oh, okay. - You just went in with it. - Yeah, what? - Yeah. - Yeah, that's red velvet. - Oh, okay. - You see, that's okay. - You didn't wait for a knife, huh? - Let me see if I was trying to wait for the knife, but yeah. - It's good, don't worry. - Oh, man, it's so good. - Now, if y'all thought you were gonna get out here without a game. - Okay, everybody, y'all can come on over and join us.
