like oh my god i cannot believe i just missed the table read and then they were like it was a joke they'd never read the whole thing ever started oh my god because they knew that i was going to be devastated and then i was gonna like cry because they know that it wasn't me being disrespectful it was just me trying to get my shit together and i was 16 i'm never that late can i be honest with you of course you look like you 16 right now you look like you'd be late no no never thank you darling thank you it's crazy i have walked into my kid's school and someone to ask me where's your pad and i

somewhere i got somewhere to be why are you talking so fast i gotta go i got a lot going on it's like we just put you on 2.5 in la people just they wear your ass no see i had to adjust the music that

out and be crazy. And I, cause now I don't let people get me out of like how I how I want to be, my zen, I'm grown now, you know what I'm saying? Unless I feel like it, don't play with me. Like, recently, I was in a drive-thru, and somebody was, like, going crazy in their car, and talk shit, and da-da-da-da-da, and I just slowly rolled down my window, and just looked. Are you okay? Are you okay? We're very, we're super close to each other. I'ma need you to relax. It's not that serious. There is nothing. And that pisses people off more, because. More infuriating than somebody, somebody saying to you in cursive, it's not that serious. It's okay. It's okay. We're good. Okay, you ready? Yes. What yellow light? I didn't even see the yellow light. Oh, no! That's not good. I mean. You have to be, you have to see things. I saw the light. It was green. I said speed up, you said what yellow light. What yellow light. I had to stop listening to music while I drive. I listen to books. I started to try to do that, but I'm not really. You started to try? I started to drive. Audiobooks, I've really been trying to get into them, but I only really like. doing it when I'm reading someone's memoir. Like, I am listening to Viola Davis' book. I had to stop listening to it, because I was crying on the way to work every day. But I also know, like, when I'm reading the memoirs, I'm reading it in their voices. So, I might as well just listen. Listen to it. So, those are the only books that I like to, like, listen to. All them other books where it's, like, somebody going, hi, so long time. I'm like, who did this? I can't listen to music while I drive. Unless I'm going to a party. See, the music I listen to when I drive is usually super ratchet. Ratchet-like. Ratchet-like ratchet. See, that one was hard for me, because I was like, wait a minute. This is a little intense. Making what? What's happening? You. Sorry. Killing them tacos. You got the jerk rice on there now? I'm just taking my liquor. Got a little salt on there. Earl! Earl! I said I'm taking my liquor. He's like, yeah! What is up, neighbors? Okay, so I want to take this time to say thank you for all of your. your support, your likes, your comments, your shares. This has been an incredible ride with y'all, and I love that y'all rock with it so tough. I also wanted to take this time to ask you to check and make sure that you are subscribed to the show. We've got over 200,000 neighbors that are a part of this thing, and the energy is real, and I want you to be a part of it. Also, make sure that we are able to do all that we have planned for Houseguest to bring it to you. So come on, be a part of that. You don't want to miss it. Okay, now back to the episode. I was just watching Dr. Doolittle. I know you're going to think I'm crazy. I was literally just watching. The original? Yes. Like, the first one y'all were in is still hilarious today. It's Eddie Murphy, though. Right? Do you look back on those projects with, like, does it feel so far removed from you, or does it feel like, you know what I mean? Like, I did do that. To me, doing something like Dr. Doolittle was like, oh, this is something I get to do outside of school. Like, this is fun. When you were still in school? Yeah, and the first Dr. Doolittle, I was nine? I think? So, like, fourth grade? I think fifth grade. Right. I think one of my teachers, we had drama with them, and they were like, oh, you can't walk the stage, like, graduating because I missed so many days. And I was like, but I'm asking you for work. It was a lot. It was a lot dealing with being a child actress and still being like, in public school. In Los Angeles? Yes. That's crazy. Yes. I was excited because my family has always been a fan of Eddie Murphy. I mean. Of course. But being nine, I think that's the year that Vampire in Brooklyn came out. And my mom was the mom where we were watching stuff we shouldn't have been watching. Same. Of course she gonna fast forward through something or cover your eyes and be like, don't look at that. Right. But we were watching things that. I was Vampire in Brooklyn for Halloween. No, you were not. Yes. There's a new Vampire in Brooklyn. Oh, goodness. Not the voiceover. And with the laugh. Working with him, I feel like that was my first example of seeing someone who was fun when we weren't filming. And then when we were filming, it was like, oh, serious. Really? And he didn't say it, but you can see it. Like, he went from being cool, funny, funny, funny, then it was time to shoot. I was like, oh, he's serious. To work. Right. So it kind of made me like, oh, I can have fun at this time, but when it's time to work, it's time to work. It's time to work. And the last time I saw him was at one of his daughter's art exhibits that she had. Okay. Yep. And he walked up to me and he was like, oh, all my daughters are here tonight. And I was just like, oh, come on. I haven't been your daughter officially since, like, that you were. And there's, like, a handful of people in this industry that can't nobody talk about, like, negatively to me. Try it. You can't do it. If I've talked to them in their fate and they, like, just see who they are, period. Like, it's just certain people, and he's one of those people. When you think about your career and what you want to do, I mean, animal control. Yes. What was that like for you? This is a crazy ass show. When I tell you there's so much improv, there's so much, like. Is that fun for you, improv? Oh, so fun. Like, I like to say random shit. Like, I like to be like, say the first thing that comes to your mind. And sometimes it's shocking for others. Because some people wouldn't expect the things that I would say. But for me, animal control, like, working with Joel McHale and that entire cast, like, everybody is so cool and chill and there's no ego. You can tell that, you know, everybody wants each other to be funny. Everybody wants to laugh at each other. Right. There's no, like, oh, they said a good joke and now I have to. Right. You know, it's none of that. Everybody wants everybody to win. Yes. But for me, it's the closest thing to Kyla being her silly self being on camera. Of all the roles. Of all the roles that I've ever done, it's the closest to me just being silly. This is the closest to you. And being able to freely be silly and not overthink anything, not worried about my outfits, not worried about how I look. Okay. Just being silly and funny and having a good time. The reason I ask is because I wondered, you know, you have so many roles where you have. You talked about it before where you were, like, the girlfriend. Yeah. She was also the it girl. Yeah. And, like, have you ever wanted to to, like, take on roles where you were, like, crazy as hell and only had one eye? No, and I. I don't know why one eye came out. That was really. It was a really strange. I don't know about the one eye thing. I mean, that's cool, but I'm gonna worry about my peripheral. That would be a good. Like, do you want to be a slave or a troll at the same time? Why has she got a. I don't know a slave troll. I don't know. That was the walk. That was good. Don't do it again. No, no, no. Don't do it again. I did a show called Recovery Road where I play a recovering meth addict. And that was the first time where I had to, like, research a role. What kind of research? You did research on. I did research, like, just watching documentaries on drug use and watching documentaries on meth in particular. So, for me, stuff like that was exciting because, like, comedy and being funny for me is, like, it's gonna come. Like, I'm just gonna say something, and I'm probably gonna regret it later, and it's gonna be funny. But that's what it is? But it is what it is, and maybe people will laugh at it. And I learned a long time ago that they're laughing with me, not at me, you know? I learned that from 101. It was a particular episode where Spirit, played by Cicely. Yep. It was a scene where I had on a fake ponytail, and it was a sleepover. And Spirit and I had an argument, and she took my ponytail off and was like, give me back my ponytail. And the first time she did it, like, I got emotional because I felt embarrassed. And in that moment, literally, I probably was, like, 15. I learned no, no, no, no. It's comedy. They're not laughing at you. They're laughing with you. You have to laugh with them. It's funny. You know you ain't ball-headed. Right. Is there a dream role? Is there a dream. I don't know if there's a dream role. I have a couple of people that I've thought about possibly portraying that I will never tell because that's how people steal your shit. You gotta work on it. You gotta get it to get the. I think for me, I will say the dream would be to continue working in this industry and entertaining and doing it on every level and venturing into directing and producing. Yeah. In front of the camera will always be my first love. Yeah. Like, I realized how much I love it when the strikes were happening and all these things were going on. And you couldn't do anything. And I couldn't do anything. And I was like, if I don't find a way to release this craziness that's stuck inside of me when I lose my shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What about your kids? Are they interested in acting? Are you okay with them acting? My kids are interested in acting. My oldest is interested in acting. My youngest is more behind-the-scenes type vibe. Okay. Even though I'm trying to get her to model. And she's like, I don't want to. This is your mini-me. They're both. Like. I mean, honestly, copy-paste. But they're so much like their dad that it's like. I get when people like, when you grow up and you have kids and you be like, you look just like your daddy. You act just like. Like, I feel that constantly where I be like, for real? That's how you gonna respond to me right now? Right. That's your daddy. I feel like that man. At first, I used to be so against it. I used to be like, I don't want my kids. I'm like, mm-mm. They gotta do something else. Like, I want them to be like. Right. Doctorsters, lawyers, like, fight for us and do all this stuff. And he told me, he was like, realistically, he's like, we're in the industry. They're gonna be what they see. To the acting side of things, he does music, tattooing. He is an actual artist. He was like, it's crazy for you to think that they're not gonna want to do that. And so, at that point, when he said that to me, I kind of was like, okay, I'm gonna have to let go my little inhibitions of how I feel and see what they want to do and just support them in whatever way that they want to be supported. Because honestly, I feel I'm pretty sane. I mean, considering how crazy you could be? Real shit. Because there's so many people, and that's why I feel, for so many child actors because there's so many things They were exposed to and luckily I had a mama that was like, who are you at? And what you doing? And who do it? Right. So as long as I am here and he's there and we're able to guide them, then I'll support them like in whatever they want to do. So they are dabbling a little bit. My oldest has done commercials and she's really into the TikTok land. I mean, who's not? Me, because I'm trying to still figure it out. Josh Gad told me once he wished he had chosen a different voice for Olaf from Frozen. It's his real talking voice. Did you ever feel that way with Proud Family? No. Because you do have one of those like. Distinctive. Like we know it's you. I didn't realize that until I was at a grocery store one day and I was talking loud because I'm a loud person. I just can't. It's hard. I have practice in whispering. It hasn't. I haven't worked on it yet. I haven't got it. And somebody came over from like aisles like Penny Proud is in the store. And I was like, oh, oh, like aisles over. And I was like, oh, I got to be quiet. I mean, with Penny Proud, I auditioned. I was 14 years old. Penny Proud was drawn before I was even a part of it. I auditioned for Penny Proud. And the only time I've ever thought about I wish I would have did something different was probably with my name. Just because when people call me by my name and I think I know them, I'd be like, hey, what's up? And that's the only thing. What would you have gone with if you'd have picked a different name? I can't tell you that because it's my alias now. So that's how I travel. What is it? I can't tell you. You can tell me. Whisper it to me. Practice your whisper. Just try it. It's not good. I can't whisper. I know that. Know thyself. I have been so excited to get here. Wait, for real? So thank you for having me. Yes. You've had so many nights where there's so many people here. And I'm like, why haven't I been invited to the party? What? Any, literally, any time. When are the parties happening and why can't I come? Every Sunday. Pull up. Where in L.A., that could be a threat or an invite. Pull up. Pull up. Or pull up. We're about to play another game. Come on. What is this? This is a game called You Know Who. I can't. You know who. But you gotta, you know. You know who. Why? Why? 'Cause we're gonna see up to three clues, right? So when you got it, you hit the buzzer. Oh, I got a blue one. Guess. See? And I got an orange one. OK, wait. So you're gonna give clues. And then once I know who it is, I push my buzzer? Our game master will let us know who buzzed first. Hey, game master. And then you can guess. OK. First one. OK. Wigs, Atlanta. Wigs and Atlanta. I'm gonna say it's either Kim Zoziak. How you gonna do an either? Pick one 'cause I might need to pick the other. Kim Zoziak, final answer. And then I was thinking-- What? What is mine? I love this. OK, what'd you guess? The first that came to my mind was NeNe Leakes. No? Wigs, Atlanta. OK, so this is a person. OK, let's see the third clue. Oh. Peace be-- Oh, I don't know it. Tyler Perry. Yeah. Oh! Wigs, Atlanta. Oh, yeah, I wouldn't have got it. Go ahead, get your one point. OK. You ain't gonna say it like that, my little one. Get your one point. Get your little funky one point. And I hope it's your last. All right, next one. OK. What? Hello, Bantu knots. Oh, did Adele ever wear the Bantu knots? Adele! No! Is it Adele? It was the same time! I was like, she did! And she said hello! See, I'm moving too slow. That's what y'all do. Y'all give people drinks. And then you say, come play a game. Come play a game. Where you gotta move fast. Come on. It's OK. I'm just gonna start yelling shit out. Is that another point for me? It is another point. It is another point for you. Ooh wee. It's OK. It's OK. Elevator in Houston. Solange? It was! I knew it! I did not want to say Solange. And I knew that's what they was talking about. Because she's from Houston. And in the elevator, she don't play about her shit. You know what I'm saying? That's my girl, though. So that's why I was like, should I say this? Should I not? But you got me a point, girl! But you got me a point. Yes! What? The gay brother. Who is the gay brother? If it was brother, it'd be a black dude, right? Mm-mm. That's not right. So it's not a black dude. But Secret Service, what does that have to do-- It's a black dude? Secret Service. With a gay brother? Don't be asking hints! That ain't fair! I'm trying to get clarification. It's a gay dude, it's a black man, he black, and he gay. I don't know who this is! OK, give us a third clue. Secret Service, you gon' know it with a third clue. Sterling K. Brown? Oh, I was just about to say that! Paradise! He plays Secret Service. He got a gay brother? I didn't know he had a gay brother, but the other two, I was like, mm. He plays the gay brother in America. Oh! He does play the gay brother! So it doesn't have to be clues that intertwine. It can still be about the same person! I don't think he should get that point, but it's cool. Go ahead. I think I did, though. Oh, I'm not-- this isn't good. I should probably stop sipping. I'm going to sip on this one, because I wish you well, Marvel. All of a sudden, my eyes got real heavy. I know, you should sip a little bit more. Because you put-- you did your ghetto margarita, yeah. I wish you well. Uh-uh, I don't know it. I don't know it. Say goop. Who? Just say it. Just put it in your-- With a G or a C? G. Hit your buzzer.

She said to him, I wish you well. See, and I didn't follow that court case a lot, because it pissed me off. And then I was like, I should, because she did something that was good. Yeah, very. Yeah. And then said, I wish you well. I wish you well. I love saying that to people. I wish you well. But-- fuck you, though. Yeah, but low key, but high key-- But high key, fuck you, though. OK, national anthem. Oh, goodness. Who sang it? Did they sing it bad? I'm like, national anthem, the first people I think about is Fergie, just because, why? Same. That's why I said, ah, ooh. You said, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. Do you really know? How do you be knowing stuff? Do you really know is my jam. Do you really know? Are you going to say the answer? Do you know?

Nappy. I can smell your nappy pussy. Oh, that was intense. And she has sharp teeth. Sharp teeth. Oh. She had little baby shark teeth. Let me tell you something about me.

You going to watch it today before you leave here? No, I'm not. I'm not watching nothing with Glenn Close with sharp teeth. Watch it. That is not my vision that I want to have before I go to bed.

Like, I need-- No, we can't. --to pick me up sometimes. I wasn't in "Love and Basketball." And I need-- no, but what's beautiful is that I'm born and raised in LA. I started acting because my mom is an actress. And I watched her doing plays. And I was like, hey, I want to be my mom right and I fell in love with it there was no plan for me as an actress I just so happened to audition for all of these right things and just so happened to book these you happen to classic projects like love and basketball like that Nike ad yeah campaign right it was crazy the Nike ad I had another job I got a guest spot on NYPD blue and I had to pick which one I wanted to do and my mom was like which one you want to do that's all she said yeah she's like which one you want to do and I was like I want to do the Nike one because she bad and she get to talk mess to people and me picking those there's so many things that I was able to be a part of because of those commercials and even though we are in this industry and we work and we film and we have all these beautiful opportunities like I'm so blessed to do what I do for a living like I actually love what I do and I have to remind myself all the time like this is fun for me like and I have to keep it fun right and even though it's taking care of the is a job it's do this I would be frustrated and devastated and upset what do you think I figured something else out you know why because Kyla is more than hello but thank you though I've been very fortunate to be a part of some great projects and to work with some super dope people yes and like I know a lot of people have like horror stories on set and I don't really I don't have any but also people have reputations and they're like known for certain things are known to be a certain way literally every person I've ever talked to about you when I tell you everybody was like oh my god like people love you you ain't talked to nobody I cussed out then no I didn't talk to no teachers I didn't talk to no teachers I didn't talk to

love her so much first of all I okay so I did an episode of Insecure for people who don't know yes and I auditioned for an episode of Insecure is that right yes and I didn't get it and what I got a call that was like we wrote something because we need you to be a part of it I was so trying not to fangirl because I've always been a fan of Insecure the show right and a fan of Issa in general right and I was like okay act like a normal individual don't don't do this professional you're a professional it's okay it's fine you've done this you do this you do this they're nervous too maybe I don't know they're nervous too maybe like trying to talk myself into it right and people know me from doing Dr. Doolittle's from doing the Fat Alberts the Love and Basketball so I've always had this reputation of like she's so sweet and so innocent and kind where in real life like I'm that as well but I'm with the like don't play with me big dog but don't play with me big dog you know what I'm saying but probably some people don't they don't understand you know what I'm saying and I keep that right so it's so I've always loved that show and then being there I was nervous because it was the first time first of all that I was talking the way that I was talking on a show where I was close to talking like how something Kyla would say right and then I saw Issa just in her element and watching her be a producer and a writer as well as an actress and it was inspiring yeah so just to be able to see her work and do the things that she was doing and then the love that she gave me at the same time and we filmed it late night so I wasn't even sure what happened like I'm one of those people I'm with you I'd be like okay I'm going to film it I'm going to get it done and then afterwards I'm like wait what happened what did I do well did I do the stuff did we get the moment yeah you know I'm consumed by did we get what we needed exactly but after we wrap so now there's nothing I can do about it and just being on a set that was just being around a woman who just is so like effortlessly moving through every part of her show was just inspiring and then we did a live afterwards then she was so like gracious and so sweet and so like just giving me my props and I was just like girl I'm over here trying not to fangirl over what you're doing and all the amazingness
