1
00:00:09,180 --> 00:00:10,473
- Are y'all finished
or y'all done?

2
00:00:10,515 --> 00:00:11,557
- Morning, everybody.

3
00:00:11,641 --> 00:00:12,850
It's DJ Envy,

4
00:00:12,934 --> 00:00:14,811
Jess Hilarious,
Charlamagne Tha God.

5
00:00:14,852 --> 00:00:16,479
We are "The Breakfast Club."

6
00:00:16,562 --> 00:00:18,940
- And we got a special guest
in the building, Deborah Vance.

7
00:00:19,023 --> 00:00:20,149
- Hey.
What's up, y'all?

8
00:00:20,233 --> 00:00:22,443
And please call me
Deborah Tha God.

9
00:00:24,445 --> 00:00:25,822
- OK, so, Deborah, talk to us.

10
00:00:25,863 --> 00:00:27,323
You had this crazy noncompete
for how long?

11
00:00:27,406 --> 00:00:28,658
- 18 months. Yeah.
- Mm.

12
00:00:28,741 --> 00:00:29,992
- Year and a half,
I wasn't legally allowed

13
00:00:30,076 --> 00:00:31,494
to perform or speak publicly.

14
00:00:31,536 --> 00:00:32,912
And the one time I did,
I went to jail.

15
00:00:32,995 --> 00:00:33,996
- Damn.
- Damn.

16
00:00:34,038 --> 00:00:35,665
- But that expired at midnight.

17
00:00:35,706 --> 00:00:37,500
And I knew that the first place
I wanted to break my silence

18
00:00:37,542 --> 00:00:38,751
was here
at "The Breakfast Club"

19
00:00:38,835 --> 00:00:40,461
with my good friend
Charlamagne.

20
00:00:40,545 --> 00:00:41,671
- Yes, indeed.

21
00:00:41,754 --> 00:00:43,005
- Wow, people don't know
y'all go way back.

22
00:00:43,089 --> 00:00:44,173
- Yes, we do.
- No, it's true.

23
00:00:44,257 --> 00:00:45,716
We actually co-own a racehorse.

24
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,468
Her name's Wheat Thin.
Here, I'll show you.

25
00:00:47,552 --> 00:00:48,553
- Yeah, she's a sweetheart—

26
00:00:48,636 --> 00:00:49,804
terrific spirit,
beautiful mane.

27
00:00:49,887 --> 00:00:51,222
- Yeah, she's work hard,
play hard.

28
00:00:51,305 --> 00:00:52,640
- Go, Wheat Thin, OK.
- Yeah.

29
00:00:52,723 --> 00:00:53,975
That's where Jess
get her hair from.

30
00:00:54,058 --> 00:00:55,518
- Don't do me.
- Whoa. Whoa.

31
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,395
- But people don't want
to hear about Wheat Thin.

32
00:00:57,478 --> 00:01:00,106
They want to hear about your
sold-out show next Thursday

33
00:01:00,189 --> 00:01:01,649
at Madison Square Garden.

34
00:01:01,732 --> 00:01:03,276
How does that feel?
That's, like, the pinnacle

35
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:04,777
for a stand-up comic.
- Yeah, it is.

36
00:01:04,861 --> 00:01:06,112
You know,
when I quit "Late Night,"

37
00:01:06,195 --> 00:01:07,530
I kind of took a hit publicly.

38
00:01:07,613 --> 00:01:09,031
And I wasn't sure
I could sell it out.

39
00:01:09,073 --> 00:01:10,366
- But you didn't just sell out.

40
00:01:10,408 --> 00:01:11,868
You sold out in, like,
10 minutes, right?

41
00:01:11,909 --> 00:01:13,369
- Yes, I did.

42
00:01:13,452 --> 00:01:15,746
- Damn, those tickets moved
faster than Wheat Thin.

43
00:01:17,164 --> 00:01:18,374
- So you got a week left
until the show.

44
00:01:18,416 --> 00:01:20,001
What are you doing to prepare?

45
00:01:20,042 --> 00:01:21,377
- Uh, it's kind of
rigorous, Envy.

46
00:01:21,460 --> 00:01:23,588
I've got a trainer,
a physical therapist,

47
00:01:23,671 --> 00:01:25,715
a choreographer,
a vocal coach.

48
00:01:25,798 --> 00:01:28,551
We're just working nonstop to
make sure this is the best 9/11

49
00:01:28,593 --> 00:01:30,052
that New York has ever had.

50
00:01:30,094 --> 00:01:32,179
- Huh?
- We're so happy to see you.

51
00:01:32,263 --> 00:01:34,348
And I'm glad that you came
to stop past us.

52
00:01:34,432 --> 00:01:35,892
- My honor.
I am a long-time member

53
00:01:35,975 --> 00:01:37,727
of "The Breakfast Club" Nation.
- OK.

54
00:01:37,768 --> 00:01:40,730
- Now, are you really listening
for us or the music?

55
00:01:40,813 --> 00:01:42,148
- Both.

56
00:01:42,231 --> 00:01:43,733
My friend Kiki's turned me on
to all the greats.

57
00:01:43,816 --> 00:01:46,402
I've got That Mexican OT
on heavy rotation.

58
00:01:46,444 --> 00:01:47,570
- OK.

59
00:01:47,612 --> 00:01:50,573
- BigXthaPlug,
Nine Vicious, 1900Rugrat.

60
00:01:50,656 --> 00:01:51,908
- OK.

61
00:01:51,949 --> 00:01:53,242
- Hey, can we go out
on a little GloRilla?

62
00:01:53,326 --> 00:01:55,077
- Not Big Glo.
- Yes, Big Glo.

63
00:01:55,119 --> 00:01:56,120
- All right,
let's play some Glo.

64
00:01:56,203 --> 00:01:57,580
- Let's play "Let Her Cook."

65
00:02:20,728 --> 00:02:21,938
- The hydraulic lift
is bringing me

66
00:02:22,021 --> 00:02:23,981
up, up, up, up,
up, up, up, up, up.

67
00:02:24,065 --> 00:02:25,733
I'm thinking this'll look
way too far upstage.

68
00:02:25,816 --> 00:02:27,068
Can we move this down?
Let's say 3 feet.

69
00:02:27,151 --> 00:02:28,945
Let's try that.
Remark it. Thank you.

70
00:02:37,495 --> 00:02:38,788
Ah.

71
00:02:38,871 --> 00:02:41,290
Ha, ha, ha, hoo, hoo, hoo.

72
00:02:49,006 --> 00:02:50,925
Hello, Madison Square Garden.

73
00:02:51,008 --> 00:02:52,301
I'm back from the dead.

74
00:02:52,385 --> 00:02:53,761
And just like Jesus,

75
00:02:53,844 --> 00:02:56,430
I love having 12 gay guys
over for supper.

76
00:02:56,514 --> 00:02:57,473
This lining has to change.

77
00:02:57,515 --> 00:02:58,641
I just—
- We're changing it.

78
00:02:58,724 --> 00:02:59,934
- But it needs to change,
like, now,

79
00:03:00,017 --> 00:03:01,268
because I have
to rehearse in it.

80
00:03:01,352 --> 00:03:02,311
This is the stuff
that's making me nervous.

81
00:03:02,395 --> 00:03:03,479
Thank you, New York.

82
00:03:03,521 --> 00:03:04,814
I'm still Deborah Vance.

83
00:03:04,855 --> 00:03:06,315
Good night.

84
00:03:11,153 --> 00:03:13,072
- And then at that point,
I am Jesus on the cross.

85
00:03:13,155 --> 00:03:15,491
And here come
my three wise men, and—

86
00:03:21,747 --> 00:03:22,707
Ah.

87
00:03:22,790 --> 00:03:24,166
Hello, New York!

88
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,962
What's up, New York?

89
00:03:30,798 --> 00:03:33,342
What's good, New York?

90
00:03:52,987 --> 00:03:55,197
- Nice shot.

91
00:03:55,281 --> 00:03:56,741
- Come on, get up there.
Phew.

92
00:03:56,824 --> 00:03:59,869
That's the way—oh.

93
00:03:59,910 --> 00:04:01,871
Ah.

94
00:04:01,912 --> 00:04:03,372
Hey, good-looking.

95
00:04:03,414 --> 00:04:04,832
You ready to rock the Garden?

96
00:04:04,915 --> 00:04:06,333
- Almost.

97
00:04:06,417 --> 00:04:07,960
I'm just having trouble
sleeping.

98
00:04:08,044 --> 00:04:09,295
And I don't want
to take Ambien this week

99
00:04:09,378 --> 00:04:10,796
'cause I need to stay sharp.

100
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,382
- Sure.
- I just really need my rest.

101
00:04:13,466 --> 00:04:15,342
And there's really
only one other thing

102
00:04:15,426 --> 00:04:17,720
that helps me sleep deeply.

103
00:04:17,762 --> 00:04:20,556
- Deborah Vance,
is this a booty call?

104
00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:22,433
- Oh, don't be tacky.

105
00:04:22,516 --> 00:04:24,393
Just get in your private jet
and get over here.

106
00:04:24,435 --> 00:04:25,561
- Wheels up!

107
00:04:32,693 --> 00:04:35,905
- So for a generation
without economic stability

108
00:04:35,946 --> 00:04:39,366
and so few job prospects,
the small things

109
00:04:39,450 --> 00:04:41,577
become the only things
that we can control.

110
00:04:41,660 --> 00:04:44,705
And the biggest question
becomes,

111
00:04:44,789 --> 00:04:47,041
who is making dinner?

112
00:04:47,124 --> 00:04:49,919
- Aw!

113
00:04:50,002 --> 00:04:51,420
Well-told.

114
00:04:51,504 --> 00:04:52,922
- She is the best,
truth teller.

115
00:04:52,963 --> 00:04:55,257
- Thank you.
Oh, thank you.

116
00:04:55,299 --> 00:04:56,425
- Yeah.

117
00:04:56,509 --> 00:04:58,135
Well, listen,
in any other situation,

118
00:04:58,219 --> 00:05:01,263
I would say, you know,
give us a beat to discuss.

119
00:05:01,347 --> 00:05:04,266
But since we already have
a deal with you,

120
00:05:04,350 --> 00:05:05,810
I'm just gonna be real.

121
00:05:05,893 --> 00:05:10,856
I don't know why you need
to tell this story.

122
00:05:10,940 --> 00:05:15,069
- Yeah, I guess because
I thought of the idea

123
00:05:15,152 --> 00:05:17,738
and brought it on down to you.

124
00:05:17,822 --> 00:05:20,199
- Sure, sure.
- Had to—yeah, that's why.

125
00:05:20,282 --> 00:05:22,076
- I just kind of
feel like a lot

126
00:05:22,159 --> 00:05:25,746
of writers of your generation
could do this show.

127
00:05:25,788 --> 00:05:28,290
- Sure, yeah,
I guess what makes me feel

128
00:05:28,332 --> 00:05:29,625
best suited
to tell this story...

129
00:05:29,667 --> 00:05:31,001
- Uh-huh.
- Is that I feel like I can

130
00:05:31,085 --> 00:05:33,003
balance communicating
the crushing weight

131
00:05:33,087 --> 00:05:36,465
of this economic system
with the hard comedy...

132
00:05:36,549 --> 00:05:37,633
- Right.

133
00:05:37,675 --> 00:05:39,135
- And sort of
the real characters.

134
00:05:39,218 --> 00:05:40,636
- Yeah, with her,
you're gonna get the funny.

135
00:05:40,678 --> 00:05:42,388
And you know they passed
on "Friends" six times

136
00:05:42,471 --> 00:05:43,639
before they made "Friends."

137
00:05:43,722 --> 00:05:45,307
And then there was "Friends."
- Yeah.

138
00:05:45,349 --> 00:05:49,603
- And this is better than that,
depending on casting.

139
00:05:49,687 --> 00:05:50,729
- I hear you.

140
00:05:50,813 --> 00:05:52,648
It just—it doesn't
feel personal.

141
00:05:52,690 --> 00:05:54,316
- OK.
- Listen, we love you.

142
00:05:54,358 --> 00:05:57,319
We are so excited about you.

143
00:05:57,403 --> 00:05:59,155
But this idea specifically,

144
00:05:59,196 --> 00:06:02,324
it's just not sparking joy
for me.

145
00:06:02,366 --> 00:06:05,035
- Oh, crap.

146
00:06:05,119 --> 00:06:06,495
Ay.

147
00:06:06,537 --> 00:06:07,538
Not this one.

148
00:06:07,621 --> 00:06:08,956
- Do you have anything else?

149
00:06:09,039 --> 00:06:10,499
- Um—
- She does.

150
00:06:10,541 --> 00:06:12,918
She's got—you have so many
ideas that it's honestly—

151
00:06:13,002 --> 00:06:15,588
she's like Shakespeare
on crack, but not on crack

152
00:06:15,671 --> 00:06:16,922
'cause she doesn't
have a problem.

153
00:06:17,006 --> 00:06:18,132
But if Shakespeare
were a woman,

154
00:06:18,215 --> 00:06:20,009
which maybe she was...
- Maybe.

155
00:06:20,050 --> 00:06:22,428
- She is like that—
crazy amount of ideas,

156
00:06:22,511 --> 00:06:24,013
some of them new,
some of them old.

157
00:06:24,096 --> 00:06:25,806
Some of them IP, if you want
that, and some of them not.

158
00:06:25,890 --> 00:06:27,308
- OK.
- So we're gonna regroup.

159
00:06:27,391 --> 00:06:28,684
We're gonna talk about it.

160
00:06:28,726 --> 00:06:30,060
We're gonna figure out
what makes sense for you.

161
00:06:30,144 --> 00:06:31,228
We're gonna bring it back.
- Yeah.

162
00:06:31,312 --> 00:06:32,354
- And it's gonna be good.

163
00:06:32,396 --> 00:06:33,814
- I love this.
I love this.

164
00:06:33,898 --> 00:06:35,524
This is sparking joy.

165
00:06:35,566 --> 00:06:36,525
Yay.

166
00:06:36,609 --> 00:06:37,735
- I'll bring you
something else.

167
00:06:37,818 --> 00:06:39,653
- Please do.

168
00:06:53,083 --> 00:06:55,544
- Ah, damn it.

169
00:06:57,338 --> 00:07:00,132
Sorry.
Sorry.

170
00:07:02,259 --> 00:07:06,055
- Good morning.
- Morning.

171
00:07:06,138 --> 00:07:07,056
Sleep well?

172
00:07:07,139 --> 00:07:08,390
- I did.

173
00:07:10,351 --> 00:07:12,728
- Ay-yi-yi.

174
00:07:12,811 --> 00:07:15,397
I—
- No, it's OK. It's OK.

175
00:07:15,481 --> 00:07:16,732
- Hey, Tyler.

176
00:07:16,815 --> 00:07:19,902
How you doing?

177
00:07:19,944 --> 00:07:21,237
Uh-huh.

178
00:07:21,278 --> 00:07:23,739
Sure.

179
00:07:23,781 --> 00:07:27,159
Uh...

180
00:07:27,243 --> 00:07:28,744
Severance package?

181
00:07:28,786 --> 00:07:31,580
What?
- Oh, God.

182
00:07:31,622 --> 00:07:35,042
- Put out to pasture by
a bunch of dorky computer kids.

183
00:07:35,125 --> 00:07:36,585
I've always hated computers,
by the way.

184
00:07:36,627 --> 00:07:38,254
- Oh, they've ruined
everything.

185
00:07:38,337 --> 00:07:42,758
- Deborah, I think
this might be ageism.

186
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,219
- Yeah, well,
welcome to the club.

187
00:07:45,261 --> 00:07:47,763
I mean, you're 40 years behind,
but we're happy to have you.

188
00:07:47,846 --> 00:07:50,224
- I've given 35 years
to the Palmetto.

189
00:07:50,307 --> 00:07:51,684
I helped build
that fucking place!

190
00:07:51,767 --> 00:07:53,394
- I get it.

191
00:07:53,477 --> 00:07:55,271
It's terrible.

192
00:07:59,483 --> 00:08:00,943
What the hell am I
gonna do now, Deb?

193
00:08:01,026 --> 00:08:04,488
- I don't know.
I'm sorry.

194
00:08:04,571 --> 00:08:06,282
I hate to say this,
but I gotta go get ready.

195
00:08:06,365 --> 00:08:08,117
I gotta rehearse.
Tell you what.

196
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,660
Why don't you stick around
for a few days?

197
00:08:09,743 --> 00:08:11,120
Come and see the show.

198
00:08:11,203 --> 00:08:12,788
- You think I wasn't
gonna stick around

199
00:08:12,830 --> 00:08:14,957
to see you play the Garden?

200
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,375
Come on.

201
00:08:16,458 --> 00:08:19,628
- Course you are.

202
00:08:19,670 --> 00:08:21,297
It's gonna be OK.

203
00:08:21,338 --> 00:08:23,257
- Yeah.

204
00:08:23,340 --> 00:08:24,633
- It is.

205
00:08:24,717 --> 00:08:26,719
You take it from me.

206
00:08:30,848 --> 00:08:33,434
OK.

207
00:08:40,316 --> 00:08:42,276
- When I'm hungry,
my whole personality changes.

208
00:08:42,359 --> 00:08:43,527
- They'll be here
in five minutes.

209
00:08:43,610 --> 00:08:44,778
- I ordered
the polenta fritters.

210
00:08:44,862 --> 00:08:46,196
And where the hell
is our waitress?

211
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:47,614
- Honey, calm down.
- God damn it. God—

212
00:08:47,698 --> 00:08:48,866
- Shh.
- Oh, wait, there she is.

213
00:08:48,949 --> 00:08:50,659
There she is.
- Hello.

214
00:08:50,743 --> 00:08:53,162
- Ava.
- Hi.

215
00:08:53,245 --> 00:08:54,830
- This is Jack.
- Hi.

216
00:08:54,872 --> 00:08:58,459
- Jack, this is my daughter,
Ava Cecilia.

217
00:08:58,542 --> 00:08:59,877
- Confirmation name, not real.

218
00:08:59,960 --> 00:09:02,087
But nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you too.

219
00:09:02,171 --> 00:09:03,839
- So will Deborah be having

220
00:09:03,922 --> 00:09:06,633
a red carpet experience
for her show?

221
00:09:06,675 --> 00:09:09,178
Because Jack and I recently,
we broke the seal

222
00:09:09,219 --> 00:09:11,972
as a public couple
when we were photographed

223
00:09:12,056 --> 00:09:14,350
at the National Windsurfing
Awards dinner.

224
00:09:14,433 --> 00:09:16,602
- Wow.
- Jack's a grandmaster.

225
00:09:16,685 --> 00:09:18,979
He was ranked fifth nationally.
- Oh!

226
00:09:19,063 --> 00:09:20,647
- Yeah, he was dating
another windsurfer.

227
00:09:20,731 --> 00:09:22,149
And I just—I stole him.

228
00:09:22,232 --> 00:09:23,192
- Took me away.

229
00:09:23,275 --> 00:09:24,818
- I just—I blew his mind.

230
00:09:26,195 --> 00:09:27,988
It's wild times.
- Totally.

231
00:09:30,115 --> 00:09:31,533
- Crazy behavior.

232
00:09:31,575 --> 00:09:33,035
- So hot.

233
00:09:33,077 --> 00:09:34,370
- It's just unbelievable.
- Would you stop?

234
00:09:34,453 --> 00:09:35,371
- Oh, sorry.

235
00:09:35,454 --> 00:09:37,331
So how did your pitch go?

236
00:09:37,414 --> 00:09:38,832
- It didn't go well.

237
00:09:38,916 --> 00:09:41,168
It's not looking like
I'm gonna have a show.

238
00:09:41,251 --> 00:09:42,378
- What?

239
00:09:42,419 --> 00:09:43,879
Don't they know
how brilliant you are?

240
00:09:43,921 --> 00:09:45,255
Oh, come on.

241
00:09:45,339 --> 00:09:47,383
- I have an idea for a show
about a windsurfer.

242
00:09:47,424 --> 00:09:50,094
Matthew McConaughey,
he'd be great for it.

243
00:09:51,845 --> 00:09:53,680
- That actually sounds
really sellable.

244
00:09:53,764 --> 00:09:54,890
- Ooh!
- Really?

245
00:09:54,973 --> 00:09:56,725
- Yeah.
This is how it happens, honey.

246
00:09:56,767 --> 00:09:59,520
Yeah, no, no, Ava knows people.
She'll get it done.

247
00:09:59,603 --> 00:10:01,355
Who should he email?

248
00:10:05,484 --> 00:10:07,069
- I mean, it sucks.

249
00:10:07,111 --> 00:10:08,904
I had tons of episode ideas,
and I didn't even get to them.

250
00:10:08,987 --> 00:10:11,156
- I'm sorry.
They're idiots.

251
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,200
- Thank you.
Yeah.

252
00:10:13,283 --> 00:10:15,244
I mean, I'll figure
something out, but—

253
00:10:15,327 --> 00:10:16,745
- Can you pass me the phone?

254
00:10:16,829 --> 00:10:18,414
- Your phone or my phone?

255
00:10:18,497 --> 00:10:21,250
- The phone.
I want to order room service.

256
00:10:21,291 --> 00:10:22,751
- Oh, no, you don't order
room service on the phone.

257
00:10:22,835 --> 00:10:25,337
You scan it with, like,
a QR code on your phone.

258
00:10:28,006 --> 00:10:31,593
- So if I want to order
room service,

259
00:10:31,635 --> 00:10:33,220
I can't use the phone?

260
00:10:33,303 --> 00:10:34,221
- No.

261
00:10:34,304 --> 00:10:35,889
- I have to use my phone?

262
00:10:35,973 --> 00:10:36,974
- Yeah.

263
00:10:37,057 --> 00:10:38,892
- But I can't call anybody?

264
00:10:38,976 --> 00:10:41,270
- Right, yeah.
No.

265
00:10:41,311 --> 00:10:43,564
- You know, it's no wonder you
people are all autistic now.

266
00:10:43,605 --> 00:10:46,108
You never talk to anyone.

267
00:10:46,191 --> 00:10:48,902
I need to start wearing
a body cam around you, girl.

268
00:10:48,944 --> 00:10:52,406
Jesus Christ, the stuff
you're freaking saying.

269
00:10:52,489 --> 00:10:54,074
- Do not drink that.

270
00:10:54,158 --> 00:10:55,409
- What?
Why?

271
00:10:55,492 --> 00:10:57,619
- No, never pull a beverage
from the minibar.

272
00:10:57,703 --> 00:10:59,455
It is marked up 700%.

273
00:10:59,496 --> 00:11:00,664
I don't want to get ripped off.

274
00:11:00,747 --> 00:11:02,124
No, I'll have Damien
go to Duane Reade

275
00:11:02,166 --> 00:11:03,625
and get you one
if you really want one.

276
00:11:03,667 --> 00:11:04,835
OK.

277
00:11:04,918 --> 00:11:06,336
So I can't have it?

278
00:11:08,338 --> 00:11:11,091
Well, since you don't usually
reach for the sugar-free,

279
00:11:11,175 --> 00:11:12,801
I guess I should reward that.

280
00:11:12,885 --> 00:11:14,303
This time, I'll allow it.

281
00:11:23,020 --> 00:11:26,315
Oh, my God, I—I'm gonna
head to my room really quickly.

282
00:11:26,398 --> 00:11:27,399
Are you good here?

283
00:11:27,483 --> 00:11:28,650
- Ugh, I don't know.

284
00:11:28,734 --> 00:11:30,819
I don't know.
I don't know.

285
00:11:30,903 --> 00:11:33,071
- Hey.

286
00:11:33,155 --> 00:11:36,783
You're gonna kill tomorrow.

287
00:11:36,867 --> 00:11:38,327
- Thanks.

288
00:11:38,410 --> 00:11:40,537
- OK.
Good night.

289
00:11:43,123 --> 00:11:44,666
- I know.

290
00:12:10,901 --> 00:12:13,278
- Good morning, New York City.

291
00:12:13,362 --> 00:12:14,821
It's hotter than hell
out there,

292
00:12:14,905 --> 00:12:16,657
but thankfully,
we've got some sweet relief

293
00:12:16,698 --> 00:12:19,535
from the diva herself,
Deborah Vance.

294
00:12:19,576 --> 00:12:22,829
She's finally laying it all
out there tonight at MSG.

295
00:12:22,913 --> 00:12:24,498
And I'd tell you
to get your tickets now,

296
00:12:24,540 --> 00:12:27,167
but everyone knows the show
sold out in record time.

297
00:12:27,251 --> 00:12:28,544
So if you want
to bear witness,

298
00:12:28,627 --> 00:12:30,921
you better find
a scalper, stat.

299
00:12:35,551 --> 00:12:36,885
- You know,
I realized you're right.

300
00:12:36,927 --> 00:12:38,053
I don't know what it's like

301
00:12:38,136 --> 00:12:39,680
being a young person
with friends.

302
00:12:39,763 --> 00:12:41,890
I have one friend,
and she's 70.

303
00:12:41,932 --> 00:12:43,350
- Funny.

304
00:12:43,433 --> 00:12:45,060
- I've been living with Deborah
over the past few years,

305
00:12:45,143 --> 00:12:47,187
so the show would be
about that—

306
00:12:47,271 --> 00:12:48,897
two women from
different generations

307
00:12:48,939 --> 00:12:50,566
who live together
and become friends.

308
00:12:50,649 --> 00:12:52,025
- OK, go on.

309
00:12:52,109 --> 00:12:53,944
- I have a ton
of episode ideas already.

310
00:12:54,027 --> 00:12:56,071
Like, imagine you're trying
to hook up with someone,

311
00:12:56,154 --> 00:12:58,240
but your roommate is in
the next room on speakerphone

312
00:12:58,282 --> 00:13:00,242
'cause she literally doesn't
know how to turn it off.

313
00:13:00,284 --> 00:13:03,704
Oh, my God, I can see that.

314
00:13:03,787 --> 00:13:06,707
- They butt heads a ton
on politics

315
00:13:06,790 --> 00:13:11,336
and etiquette and fashion,
but...

316
00:13:11,420 --> 00:13:13,213
at the end of the day,
they help each other

317
00:13:13,297 --> 00:13:16,174
see the world differently,
and...

318
00:13:16,258 --> 00:13:18,093
they both become
better people for it.

319
00:13:18,176 --> 00:13:20,429
- Ava, I love this.

320
00:13:20,470 --> 00:13:21,888
I love this.

321
00:13:21,972 --> 00:13:24,057
It's based off of real
experiences you've had,

322
00:13:24,141 --> 00:13:26,685
clear character games,
but still IP.

323
00:13:26,768 --> 00:13:28,020
Can you do me a favor?

324
00:13:28,103 --> 00:13:29,563
Can you please write
a one-pager?

325
00:13:29,646 --> 00:13:31,565
- I already did it.
I'll send it right now.

326
00:13:31,648 --> 00:13:32,691
- Amazing.

327
00:13:32,774 --> 00:13:33,775
Well, turns out,
we're only doing

328
00:13:33,859 --> 00:13:35,277
one comedy pilot this year,

329
00:13:35,319 --> 00:13:37,029
so a lot of people
have to weigh in.

330
00:13:37,112 --> 00:13:38,864
But I'm going to do my
very best to push it through.

331
00:13:38,947 --> 00:13:40,449
Stay tuned.

332
00:13:40,532 --> 00:13:43,285
- Great.

333
00:13:48,165 --> 00:13:50,834
- She's here.
- Oh, oh, oh!

334
00:13:50,917 --> 00:13:52,794
- Hi, my Little Debbies.

335
00:13:52,836 --> 00:13:53,962
How are we?

336
00:13:54,046 --> 00:13:55,631
- Well, not great.

337
00:13:55,672 --> 00:13:57,424
None of us could get tickets.

338
00:13:57,466 --> 00:13:59,426
We were trying to find
scalpers to buy some,

339
00:13:59,509 --> 00:14:00,969
but we couldn't find any.

340
00:14:01,011 --> 00:14:02,137
- None of you?

341
00:14:02,179 --> 00:14:04,431
- No.
They sold out too fast.

342
00:14:04,473 --> 00:14:06,183
- That's terrible.

343
00:14:06,266 --> 00:14:07,684
Damien, you know,
we gotta help them out.

344
00:14:07,768 --> 00:14:09,144
- On it.
- Don't forget.

345
00:14:09,227 --> 00:14:10,479
I'm live streaming
the whole show

346
00:14:10,562 --> 00:14:12,981
on Deborah Plus.

347
00:14:13,065 --> 00:14:15,901
Love you.
Love you guys.

348
00:14:15,984 --> 00:14:19,279
- Oh.

349
00:14:25,369 --> 00:14:27,329
- Oh, and I talked
to the video playback guy,

350
00:14:27,412 --> 00:14:28,497
so we're all set there.

351
00:14:28,580 --> 00:14:30,457
- Fabulous dabulous.

352
00:14:34,670 --> 00:14:38,256
- I am addicted to carrots.
Yum.

353
00:14:38,340 --> 00:14:39,341
- The job at "Late Night"

354
00:14:39,424 --> 00:14:40,759
wasn't all it was
cracked up to be.

355
00:14:40,842 --> 00:14:42,260
It's not that much fun
to do something

356
00:14:42,344 --> 00:14:44,680
no woman has done before,
except George Michael.

357
00:14:44,721 --> 00:14:46,014
That was fun.
- It's great.

358
00:14:46,098 --> 00:14:47,974
- Now, I know it's crazy
to go back now,

359
00:14:48,058 --> 00:14:49,643
but is Ricky Martin funnier?

360
00:14:49,726 --> 00:14:50,811
- Well, it depends.

361
00:14:50,894 --> 00:14:54,022
Have you had sex
with Ricky Martin?

362
00:14:54,064 --> 00:14:55,148
Wow.

363
00:14:55,232 --> 00:14:56,358
She bangs, indeed.

364
00:14:56,441 --> 00:14:58,568
You are overthinking, OK?

365
00:14:58,652 --> 00:15:00,195
Don't change a thing.
The hay's in the barn, doll.

366
00:15:00,237 --> 00:15:01,905
- OK, OK, OK, OK, OK.

367
00:15:01,988 --> 00:15:03,365
- Hey.
- Hey.

368
00:15:03,407 --> 00:15:05,158
- So MSG just flagged that
they've opened the doors,

369
00:15:05,242 --> 00:15:07,869
but they're not seeing the
foot traffic they normally do.

370
00:15:07,953 --> 00:15:10,038
- That's what felt off.
I don't hear a crowd.

371
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,040
- Mm.
- Well, what is going on?

372
00:15:12,082 --> 00:15:13,875
I mean, is there
a subway strike or something?

373
00:15:13,959 --> 00:15:15,377
- I don't think so.

374
00:15:15,419 --> 00:15:16,795
- It looks like
there's no issue

375
00:15:16,878 --> 00:15:18,338
with the subways
or transportation or anything.

376
00:15:18,422 --> 00:15:19,715
- Yeah, there's no protest.

377
00:15:19,756 --> 00:15:21,049
- You know, I can't prove it,

378
00:15:21,091 --> 00:15:22,884
but I know that Joy Behar
is behind this.

379
00:15:22,926 --> 00:15:26,388
She has come from me for
the last time, I swear to God.

380
00:15:26,430 --> 00:15:27,681
- Come on.

381
00:15:27,764 --> 00:15:29,808
- OK, I think
we should spread out.

382
00:15:48,201 --> 00:15:50,120
- Excuse me.

383
00:15:50,203 --> 00:15:52,456
Have you seen anyone?

384
00:15:54,958 --> 00:15:58,962
- Deborah,
can you come with me?

385
00:16:26,364 --> 00:16:27,616
Looks like I'm in trouble

386
00:16:27,657 --> 00:16:29,910
if you're doing
crowd work tonight.

387
00:16:33,371 --> 00:16:35,415
Hi, Deb.

388
00:16:35,457 --> 00:16:37,959
You made it really easy
for me to buy this show out

389
00:16:38,043 --> 00:16:40,086
when you made
your ticket prices so low.

390
00:16:40,170 --> 00:16:43,298
I appreciate that.

391
00:16:43,381 --> 00:16:44,716
- Why?

392
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,303
- Because I want you to stop.

393
00:16:48,345 --> 00:16:51,139
For months, your heroic exit
was the first thing

394
00:16:51,181 --> 00:16:53,475
I heard about
every single day.

395
00:16:53,558 --> 00:16:55,852
It was a fucking
nightmare for me.

396
00:16:55,936 --> 00:16:58,939
I got questions about it
in every interview,

397
00:16:59,022 --> 00:17:01,650
almost lost my board's trust.

398
00:17:01,733 --> 00:17:03,860
I had to reduce
my bonus package.

399
00:17:03,944 --> 00:17:06,196
And things have
finally quieted down.

400
00:17:06,279 --> 00:17:12,118
So the last thing I need is you
bringing it all back up again.

401
00:17:12,202 --> 00:17:15,997
- So, what?

402
00:17:18,625 --> 00:17:21,920
You think you can just
silence me forever?

403
00:17:22,003 --> 00:17:24,923
- I'm gonna try.

404
00:17:25,006 --> 00:17:27,008
I have an NDA,
and I want you to sign it.

405
00:17:27,092 --> 00:17:29,469
- You'll get a big payout.

406
00:17:29,553 --> 00:17:33,098
And all you have to do is agree
to never speak publicly

407
00:17:33,181 --> 00:17:36,351
about "Late Night"
or me ever again.

408
00:17:36,434 --> 00:17:40,146
If you don't sign,
I promise you

409
00:17:40,230 --> 00:17:44,317
I will do whatever I have to do
to make you stop.

410
00:17:44,401 --> 00:17:46,319
I'll keep buying every ticket.

411
00:17:46,403 --> 00:17:51,825
I'll use every possible outlet
to make you seem unreliable.

412
00:17:51,908 --> 00:17:54,578
So be smart about this.

413
00:17:54,661 --> 00:17:57,873
Do you really want
to spend your golden years

414
00:17:57,914 --> 00:18:00,166
fighting a losing battle?

415
00:18:11,678 --> 00:18:14,389
- Fuck your NDA,

416
00:18:14,472 --> 00:18:16,933
and fuck you.

417
00:18:22,188 --> 00:18:24,900
Bastard!

418
00:18:24,983 --> 00:18:27,235
- This is bullshit.
He needs to get a life.

419
00:18:27,319 --> 00:18:29,237
And if I'm telling you
you need to get a life,

420
00:18:29,279 --> 00:18:31,573
you are a fucking loser!

421
00:18:31,656 --> 00:18:32,908
- Yeah, no offense.

422
00:18:32,991 --> 00:18:34,659
- Siri, google
"how to sink a superyacht."

423
00:18:34,743 --> 00:18:35,869
No AI!

424
00:18:35,952 --> 00:18:37,203
- This has gotta be
illegal, right?

425
00:18:38,580 --> 00:18:39,873
We gotta call the lawyers,
is what we gotta do.

426
00:18:39,915 --> 00:18:41,249
What is it?
What is it?

427
00:18:41,333 --> 00:18:42,584
It's not racketeering,
but it's close to that.

428
00:18:42,667 --> 00:18:43,919
- This happens.

429
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,420
Remember that one time
50 Cent bought out

430
00:18:45,503 --> 00:18:47,339
the entire Ja Rule concert
just to fuck with him?

431
00:18:47,422 --> 00:18:48,673
- This is insanity.

432
00:18:48,757 --> 00:18:50,091
We need to go to the press
and expose him.

433
00:18:50,133 --> 00:18:51,384
- Yes, we need to do
a media alert.

434
00:18:51,468 --> 00:18:52,510
We need to do
a press conference.

435
00:18:52,594 --> 00:18:53,887
- We need to kill him.

436
00:18:53,970 --> 00:18:55,221
We need to Luigi his ass!

437
00:18:55,305 --> 00:18:56,973
- OK, stop, stop.
Now, listen, listen.

438
00:18:57,057 --> 00:18:59,976
We're gonna do the show,
and we're gonna do it for free.

439
00:19:00,060 --> 00:19:01,561
That way, he can't stop
the ticket sales,

440
00:19:01,645 --> 00:19:02,896
and he can't mess with it,

441
00:19:02,979 --> 00:19:04,272
and anybody
who wants to come can come.

442
00:19:04,356 --> 00:19:06,066
- This was the only date
that MSG had.

443
00:19:06,149 --> 00:19:07,108
- I know that.

444
00:19:07,192 --> 00:19:08,443
I want to do it
in Central Park.

445
00:19:08,526 --> 00:19:09,444
- Oh, OK.

446
00:19:09,527 --> 00:19:10,487
Yeah.
Yes.

447
00:19:10,570 --> 00:19:11,613
I'll call the Parks Department.

448
00:19:11,655 --> 00:19:12,989
We can target the springtime.
We can—

449
00:19:13,073 --> 00:19:14,282
- No, this weekend.

450
00:19:14,324 --> 00:19:15,784
- This weekend.
Well—

451
00:19:15,867 --> 00:19:17,661
- What about the MSG record?
- Forget that.

452
00:19:17,744 --> 00:19:20,413
I just—I just need
to do the show.

453
00:19:21,581 --> 00:19:23,291
- Yeah, but, Deborah,
you have costume changes.

454
00:19:23,333 --> 00:19:24,793
You have pyrotechnics.
You have a hydraulic lift.

455
00:19:24,876 --> 00:19:26,294
- No, no, forget all that.

456
00:19:26,336 --> 00:19:27,796
Just me and a mic.

457
00:19:27,879 --> 00:19:30,256
And I want to do it now.

458
00:19:30,340 --> 00:19:32,092
- OK, well,
then we'll figure it out.

459
00:19:32,175 --> 00:19:33,635
Right, Jimmy?

460
00:19:33,718 --> 00:19:35,971
- Yes.
I will start making some calls.

461
00:19:36,012 --> 00:19:37,597
- I'll text my camp friends.

462
00:19:37,681 --> 00:19:38,974
They run New York.

463
00:19:39,057 --> 00:19:40,767
- OK, there was a show
last night in the park.

464
00:19:40,850 --> 00:19:41,935
Maybe we could use their stage.

465
00:19:42,018 --> 00:19:43,770
- Whoa.
Let me get this straight.

466
00:19:43,853 --> 00:19:45,981
You want us to put together
a free stand-up show

467
00:19:46,022 --> 00:19:49,317
in Central Park with no prior
planning, no infrastructure?

468
00:19:49,401 --> 00:19:51,653
And you want this to happen
in three days?

469
00:19:51,736 --> 00:19:53,446
- That's right.
- Yeah.

470
00:19:53,530 --> 00:19:55,824
- God, I love this business.

471
00:19:55,907 --> 00:19:59,285
It's 90% the most delusional,
lazy people

472
00:19:59,369 --> 00:20:00,662
you ever seen in your life

473
00:20:00,745 --> 00:20:04,040
and 10% the most delusional
workaholics.

474
00:20:04,124 --> 00:20:05,834
And I, for one,
am proud and honored

475
00:20:05,875 --> 00:20:07,836
to be part
of that latter 10%.

476
00:20:07,919 --> 00:20:10,839
Let's go.
Let's fucking go!

477
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,215
- Yes, Randi, go on!

478
00:20:22,809 --> 00:20:24,644
- Look, look, just hear me out.

479
00:20:24,728 --> 00:20:26,021
Just hear me out.
- I can't do it.

480
00:20:26,104 --> 00:20:27,772
I'm sorry, miss.
- No, listen, please.

481
00:20:27,856 --> 00:20:30,358
All you have to do is hold
the stage through the weekend.

482
00:20:30,442 --> 00:20:32,694
I'll pay a rental fee.
I'll pay all your overtime.

483
00:20:32,736 --> 00:20:34,696
Just name your price.
- It's not about the money.

484
00:20:34,779 --> 00:20:37,657
We have to break all this down
and get it out of here by noon.

485
00:20:37,741 --> 00:20:39,534
- Excuse me,
do you two beautiful boys

486
00:20:39,617 --> 00:20:40,785
know who you're talking to?

487
00:20:40,869 --> 00:20:42,328
That is the queen of comedy!

488
00:20:42,412 --> 00:20:44,122
- I don't care if she's
the queen of freaking Sheba.

489
00:20:44,205 --> 00:20:46,374
She's not getting the stage.
We have to pack it up.

490
00:20:46,458 --> 00:20:48,043
Boss' orders.
- Well, who's your boss?

491
00:20:48,084 --> 00:20:49,627
Where is he?
Can I talk to him?

492
00:20:49,711 --> 00:20:52,297
- Boss.
- Well, well, well.

493
00:20:52,380 --> 00:20:55,175
Turns out,
the doctor was a woman.

494
00:20:55,258 --> 00:20:57,010
- Oh, my God.
- Weed?

495
00:20:57,093 --> 00:20:58,803
- In the flesh,
Ava Daniels.

496
00:20:58,887 --> 00:21:00,722
Fall Out Boy
rocked the park last night.

497
00:21:00,764 --> 00:21:02,265
Now we just gotta strike
this whole rig,

498
00:21:02,348 --> 00:21:05,393
get it back up in Topeka
by Tuesday, 0600.

499
00:21:05,435 --> 00:21:07,228
- OK, we understand that,
but if you could just push—

500
00:21:07,270 --> 00:21:09,856
- Push? No, it's
a domino effect, white boy.

501
00:21:09,939 --> 00:21:11,566
This is one
of the tightest schedules

502
00:21:11,608 --> 00:21:13,026
I've ever constructed.

503
00:21:13,109 --> 00:21:15,361
They're playing
56 domestic dates

504
00:21:15,445 --> 00:21:16,946
before we hop the pond
to Glasto.

505
00:21:17,030 --> 00:21:19,616
- Weed, listen, I know
we've had our differences

506
00:21:19,699 --> 00:21:22,786
in the past, but I was
supposed to play the Garden,

507
00:21:22,869 --> 00:21:25,413
and then I got screwed over.

508
00:21:25,497 --> 00:21:26,456
Please.

509
00:21:26,539 --> 00:21:28,541
I just need to say my piece.

510
00:21:28,625 --> 00:21:31,336
- Deb, I'm gonna
stop you right there.

511
00:21:31,419 --> 00:21:34,214
Keep this stage up
through the weekend.

512
00:21:34,297 --> 00:21:37,008
Get them to Topeka
in, what, 39 hours?

513
00:21:37,092 --> 00:21:38,927
That'd take a miracle.

514
00:21:38,968 --> 00:21:41,346
It's lucky for you, though...

515
00:21:41,429 --> 00:21:45,183
You're looking at
a miracle worker.

516
00:21:45,266 --> 00:21:47,769
- So—
- When you canned me,

517
00:21:47,811 --> 00:21:49,729
that was a first
in my entire career.

518
00:21:49,813 --> 00:21:51,189
I was shell-shocked.

519
00:21:51,272 --> 00:21:53,608
And I am embarrassed
to admit I did relapse.

520
00:21:53,691 --> 00:21:55,068
I went completely dark.

521
00:21:55,151 --> 00:21:57,737
I woke up flat on my back
in a bed,

522
00:21:57,821 --> 00:22:00,532
not a chair,

523
00:22:00,615 --> 00:22:04,828
in a motel in Juárez.

524
00:22:04,911 --> 00:22:07,288
My hair was in cornrows.

525
00:22:07,372 --> 00:22:09,624
My eyebrows
had been burned off.

526
00:22:09,707 --> 00:22:13,795
And I was holding
an Apple TV remote, but...

527
00:22:13,837 --> 00:22:18,591
all the room had
was a Roku.

528
00:22:18,675 --> 00:22:20,468
What is that?

529
00:22:20,552 --> 00:22:24,973
I had no memory
of the previous three months.

530
00:22:25,056 --> 00:22:27,350
And then my boy Pete Wentz
called me back in.

531
00:22:27,433 --> 00:22:31,187
We did 14 grueling back-to-back
shows in the South Atlantic.

532
00:22:31,271 --> 00:22:36,276
And then one morning in Omaha,
Pete said to me,

533
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:41,489
"Weed, oh, God, Weed,

534
00:22:41,531 --> 00:22:43,825
you're better
than you've ever been."

535
00:22:43,908 --> 00:22:45,785
And I owe that to you, Deb.

536
00:22:45,869 --> 00:22:50,790
You gotta crash and burn
before you can rise, sister.

537
00:22:51,875 --> 00:22:53,501
I'ma make this work for you.

538
00:22:53,585 --> 00:22:55,295
You can use our stage.
- Oh.

539
00:22:55,378 --> 00:22:56,796
- Thank you so much.
Thank you.

540
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,174
- Hands off, bud!
- Sorry!

541
00:22:59,257 --> 00:23:01,342
- Bring it in, Deb.
Bring it in.

542
00:23:01,426 --> 00:23:03,511
Oh, Deb.
- Thank you, Weed.

543
00:23:03,553 --> 00:23:05,180
- Deb, Deb, Debbie.

544
00:23:05,263 --> 00:23:07,348
There's only one thing
that I can't allow,

545
00:23:07,390 --> 00:23:09,684
and that's a grievance
from the Park Department.

546
00:23:09,726 --> 00:23:12,896
So you're gonna need
to get a permit to perform.

547
00:23:12,979 --> 00:23:15,064
Without it, city's gonna
shut you down anyway.

548
00:23:15,148 --> 00:23:16,858
- No problem.
We are on it, Ms. Weed.

549
00:23:16,941 --> 00:23:18,026
- Go!

550
00:23:18,109 --> 00:23:19,235
- Oh!

551
00:23:22,071 --> 00:23:23,865
- You don't want to play
the Garden anyway.

552
00:23:23,948 --> 00:23:25,575
Terrible load-out.

553
00:23:25,658 --> 00:23:27,577
- Thanks, Weed.
- Mm-hmm.

554
00:23:30,163 --> 00:23:32,540
Love you, Deb!

555
00:23:32,582 --> 00:23:34,876
- Yeah, love you too.

556
00:23:36,711 --> 00:23:38,880
- She loves me.

557
00:23:47,430 --> 00:23:48,389
- Hey.

558
00:23:48,431 --> 00:23:50,141
- Hi.

559
00:23:50,225 --> 00:23:52,852
- This is pot.
Can you believe it?

560
00:23:52,936 --> 00:23:55,563
- Yup.
Can I come in?

561
00:23:55,647 --> 00:23:58,733
- Sure.
Come in.

562
00:24:07,325 --> 00:24:09,744
- You know, after what
Bob Lipka pulled last night,

563
00:24:09,827 --> 00:24:11,955
made me realize pretty much
every stiff in a suit

564
00:24:12,038 --> 00:24:14,791
is a lying, selfish
piece of shit.

565
00:24:14,874 --> 00:24:16,876
- Men are dogs, Deb.

566
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,086
- But not you.

567
00:24:18,127 --> 00:24:19,379
We've been looking
for someone to run

568
00:24:19,462 --> 00:24:20,964
the operations at the casino.

569
00:24:21,047 --> 00:24:24,050
So why don't you come work
for me and Marcus at The Diva?

570
00:24:24,133 --> 00:24:25,593
- You mean it?

571
00:24:25,677 --> 00:24:28,096
- Now, listen, it wouldn't
be like the Palmetto.

572
00:24:28,179 --> 00:24:30,598
This is a small,
independently-owned casino.

573
00:24:30,682 --> 00:24:33,393
You'd have to be on the floor.
You wouldn't be in the C-suite.

574
00:24:33,476 --> 00:24:34,936
- Oh, I hate the C-suite.

575
00:24:35,019 --> 00:24:36,813
You know me.
I'm a man of the people.

576
00:24:36,896 --> 00:24:39,691
I want to be on the floor,
shaking hands, slapping asses.

577
00:24:39,774 --> 00:24:41,109
- Well, you can't
do that anymore.

578
00:24:41,192 --> 00:24:43,236
- Yeah, OK.
Right. I forgot.

579
00:24:43,319 --> 00:24:45,863
- Now, I've run this by Marcus,
and he's on board.

580
00:24:45,947 --> 00:24:47,740
He's always liked you
better than I have anyway.

581
00:24:49,826 --> 00:24:51,035
- So what do you say?

582
00:24:54,038 --> 00:24:56,457
- I'd love to.

583
00:24:56,499 --> 00:24:58,626
This means the world to me.

584
00:25:01,546 --> 00:25:04,090
- Great, great.

585
00:25:04,173 --> 00:25:05,717
All right, I gotta go.

586
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,260
I have to get as many people
as possible into Central Park

587
00:25:07,343 --> 00:25:09,304
this weekend.
- Whoa, whoa. What's going on?

588
00:25:09,387 --> 00:25:12,140
- I'm doing my show there,
for free.

589
00:25:12,223 --> 00:25:13,308
- What?

590
00:25:13,391 --> 00:25:15,268
- So now I just gotta
get the word out.

591
00:25:15,351 --> 00:25:17,103
- Wow.
And you need people.

592
00:25:17,186 --> 00:25:19,314
- Yeah.
- I'll get you people.

593
00:25:19,397 --> 00:25:21,649
I got my guys in Atlantic City,
Mohegan Sun—

594
00:25:21,733 --> 00:25:24,360
we bus tourists in
all the time.

595
00:25:24,444 --> 00:25:27,989
You give me the word,
and I'll unleash The Marty.

596
00:25:28,031 --> 00:25:30,950
- OK, unleash away.

597
00:25:31,034 --> 00:25:33,494
- Hoo-ah!
All right!

598
00:25:33,578 --> 00:25:34,996
We're back, baby.

599
00:25:35,079 --> 00:25:37,832
Mwah.

600
00:25:37,915 --> 00:25:39,292
OK, good, good.

601
00:25:39,375 --> 00:25:41,753
All right, now,
lay off the lollipops.

602
00:25:41,836 --> 00:25:43,755
We drug test at The Diva.

603
00:25:46,090 --> 00:25:47,175
Thank you, boss!

604
00:25:47,258 --> 00:25:48,343
Will do.

605
00:25:52,889 --> 00:25:56,017
- You want a permit for this
weekend, in Central Park?

606
00:25:56,059 --> 00:25:58,353
- Yes.

607
00:25:58,394 --> 00:26:02,607
It takes 30 days to process
a permit in New York City, OK?

608
00:26:02,690 --> 00:26:04,692
There is nothing that I can do.

609
00:26:04,734 --> 00:26:07,028
- Please, look, this isn't
just about a permit, all right?

610
00:26:07,070 --> 00:26:08,488
It's about sticking it
to the man.

611
00:26:08,571 --> 00:26:09,864
- Yeah, and you could be
a part of that.

612
00:26:09,947 --> 00:26:11,532
I mean, screw your boss.

613
00:26:11,574 --> 00:26:12,825
Go above his head.

614
00:26:12,909 --> 00:26:14,077
- My boss is a woman,

615
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:15,995
and we're in a relationship
outside of work.

616
00:26:16,037 --> 00:26:18,748
And I don't feel comfortable
keeping secrets from her.

617
00:26:18,831 --> 00:26:20,041
- That's beautiful.
- We would never ask you

618
00:26:20,124 --> 00:26:21,209
to do that.
- That's respectable

619
00:26:21,250 --> 00:26:22,210
and honorable.
I love that.

620
00:26:22,293 --> 00:26:23,836
- We love gays.
- Listen,

621
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,588
if you've ever
had a dream crushed,

622
00:26:25,671 --> 00:26:27,006
if you've ever been bullied...
- Mm-hmm.

623
00:26:27,090 --> 00:26:28,174
- Then you know
what Deborah Vance

624
00:26:28,257 --> 00:26:29,550
is going through right now.

625
00:26:29,592 --> 00:26:31,010
And we have the chance
to right that wrong,

626
00:26:31,094 --> 00:26:32,345
to let her speak truth
to power

627
00:26:32,428 --> 00:26:35,056
and not just for her,
but for all people

628
00:26:35,139 --> 00:26:38,559
who have ever had their voices
quieted by the powers that be.

629
00:26:38,601 --> 00:26:40,603
And if we don't,

630
00:26:40,686 --> 00:26:42,355
well, as Desmond Tutu said,

631
00:26:42,438 --> 00:26:45,733
"In situations of injustice,
if we choose to be neutral,

632
00:26:45,817 --> 00:26:49,654
then we are siding
with the oppressor,"

633
00:26:49,737 --> 00:26:51,155
something like that.
- Something like that.

634
00:26:51,239 --> 00:26:52,490
- Is that what he said?
- Yeah.

635
00:26:52,573 --> 00:26:54,575
- Are you done
with your Shondalogue?

636
00:26:54,659 --> 00:26:57,328
Listen,
it's not gonna happen.

637
00:26:57,412 --> 00:26:58,579
And if she tries to perform,

638
00:26:58,663 --> 00:27:00,748
she will be escorted
outside the park.

639
00:27:00,790 --> 00:27:02,083
Now, please leave.

640
00:27:02,166 --> 00:27:04,419
I have a well-deserved break
I need to take.

641
00:27:04,460 --> 00:27:06,546
- We were trying to be nice.
- Please, just—

642
00:27:06,629 --> 00:27:09,590
- Like I'm just gonna be
giving them a damn permit.

643
00:27:09,674 --> 00:27:11,259
Listen to my girl.
- Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

644
00:27:11,342 --> 00:27:12,760
- You could have said something
about her sweater.

645
00:27:12,844 --> 00:27:13,886
- Are you listening
to the "I've Xenit All,"

646
00:27:13,970 --> 00:27:15,221
the "Xena" rewatch podcast?

647
00:27:15,304 --> 00:27:16,264
That's a great episode.

648
00:27:16,347 --> 00:27:17,807
- What?
How you know about that?

649
00:27:17,890 --> 00:27:19,267
- They're about to talk
about the pan flute.

650
00:27:19,350 --> 00:27:20,560
You know she played it
practically?

651
00:27:20,643 --> 00:27:22,061
- This just came out
five minutes ago.

652
00:27:22,145 --> 00:27:23,646
Boy, who are you?

653
00:27:23,729 --> 00:27:25,773
- Well, I've heard the episode
because I produce the podcast.

654
00:27:25,815 --> 00:27:27,275
I represent Renee O'Connor.

655
00:27:27,316 --> 00:27:29,277
And the podcast
was actually our idea.

656
00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:31,446
- His idea. He thought of it.
- No, we're a team.

657
00:27:31,487 --> 00:27:33,114
- He's being humble.
He's being humble.

658
00:27:33,156 --> 00:27:35,616
- Child,
I'm obsessed with "Xena."

659
00:27:35,700 --> 00:27:36,909
Obsessed.

660
00:27:36,993 --> 00:27:38,744
I wore the leather armbands
to the prom.

661
00:27:38,828 --> 00:27:40,621
- Yes!
- OK, pop off.

662
00:27:40,663 --> 00:27:43,291
- Baby, I even named
my damn daughter Aphrodite.

663
00:27:43,332 --> 00:27:44,917
- Oh, beautiful!
- Aww!

664
00:27:45,001 --> 00:27:46,919
- You think she likes that?
She don't.

665
00:27:47,003 --> 00:27:48,421
- Ah, yes.

666
00:27:48,463 --> 00:27:50,590
- Are they really doing
a live show at the Acropolis,

667
00:27:50,673 --> 00:27:51,632
or was that just a joke?

668
00:27:51,716 --> 00:27:53,092
I couldn't tell.
- I'm not sure.

669
00:27:53,176 --> 00:27:54,969
I could FaceTime Renee
right now,

670
00:27:55,052 --> 00:27:57,305
and you could ask her.
- What? What? Oh, my God, yes.

671
00:27:57,346 --> 00:27:58,639
- Actually, you know what?

672
00:27:58,723 --> 00:27:59,974
I'm so busy trying
to get this permit, mm.

673
00:28:00,057 --> 00:28:01,267
- No, no, no, no,
wait, wait, wait.

674
00:28:01,350 --> 00:28:03,394
Shh, shh, chill.
Hey, hold it, hold it.

675
00:28:03,478 --> 00:28:05,646
Listen—

676
00:28:05,688 --> 00:28:06,939
she nosy.

677
00:28:07,023 --> 00:28:09,275
I think I can transfer
the permits to you guys.

678
00:28:09,358 --> 00:28:10,401
- Yes!
- Thank you so much.

679
00:28:10,485 --> 00:28:11,944
- Thank you.
- Thank you.

680
00:28:12,028 --> 00:28:15,281
- Baby, Xenites unite.

681
00:28:19,202 --> 00:28:21,120
- And those northern lights
will be visible

682
00:28:21,204 --> 00:28:22,497
for the next week.

683
00:28:22,538 --> 00:28:23,956
So, Al, maybe we'll get
something of a show.

684
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,501
- Weather's looking
pretty darn good—

685
00:28:28,461 --> 00:28:30,838
Is that Deborah Vance?

686
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:32,507
- Should we let her in?

687
00:28:32,548 --> 00:28:34,342
- Sure.

688
00:28:36,594 --> 00:28:38,513
So basically, Deborah,
he Ja Ruled you.

689
00:28:38,596 --> 00:28:39,972
- Exactly, exactly.

690
00:28:40,014 --> 00:28:42,725
What 50 Cent did to Ja Rule,
Bob Lipka did to me.

691
00:28:42,808 --> 00:28:43,726
- Yeah, men are dogs.

692
00:28:43,809 --> 00:28:44,852
- It's despicable.

693
00:28:44,894 --> 00:28:46,020
- But I'm reclaiming my time.

694
00:28:46,103 --> 00:28:47,688
And I'm hoping
that you, America,

695
00:28:47,730 --> 00:28:49,440
will come out to hear it.

696
00:28:49,524 --> 00:28:51,192
- If you are in
the tri-state area,

697
00:28:51,234 --> 00:28:52,652
get out to Central Park.

698
00:28:52,693 --> 00:28:55,112
See Deborah Vance,
the one and only.

699
00:28:55,196 --> 00:28:56,989
- You like comedy?
- Free shows at the park.

700
00:28:57,073 --> 00:28:58,282
Central Park live.

701
00:28:58,366 --> 00:28:59,450
Deborah Vance live
in Central Park.

702
00:28:59,534 --> 00:29:00,952
- Here you go.
Free comedy show.

703
00:29:01,035 --> 00:29:02,828
You like comedy?
New York City.

704
00:29:02,912 --> 00:29:05,122
- You guys seriously have to go
see Deborah in Central Park.

705
00:29:05,206 --> 00:29:08,125
She's my best friend ever, ever
and my literal idol.

706
00:29:08,209 --> 00:29:10,378
And if you don't go see her,
you're a loser.

707
00:29:10,461 --> 00:29:12,213
- I agree.

708
00:29:12,255 --> 00:29:13,839
- Free comedy show, guys.

709
00:29:13,923 --> 00:29:15,716
- My daughter's best friend and
mentor, Deborah Vance, live.

710
00:29:15,758 --> 00:29:16,884
Come on.

711
00:29:16,968 --> 00:29:18,219
My daughter's best friend.
Take this!

712
00:29:18,261 --> 00:29:19,345
You're going to the show!

713
00:29:19,428 --> 00:29:20,846
- Deborah Vance, y'all.

714
00:29:20,930 --> 00:29:22,265
- So as you know,
Deborah and I

715
00:29:22,348 --> 00:29:24,058
have had our ups and downs.

716
00:29:24,141 --> 00:29:26,769
- But at the end of the day,
she's a really great girl.

717
00:29:26,852 --> 00:29:28,604
And it's not cool
what's been done to her.

718
00:29:28,688 --> 00:29:30,940
- Mm.
- So get out to Central Park

719
00:29:31,023 --> 00:29:34,569
and hear her side of the story
'cause she's funny as hell

720
00:29:34,652 --> 00:29:36,237
and silencing women
is never OK.

721
00:29:45,037 --> 00:29:46,414
She wears a wig too.

722
00:29:46,497 --> 00:29:47,790
She wears a sheitel.

723
00:29:47,873 --> 00:29:49,083
- Welcome back.

724
00:29:49,125 --> 00:29:50,710
We have a very special
surprise guest.

725
00:29:50,793 --> 00:29:52,378
Deborah Vance
is here to promote

726
00:29:52,461 --> 00:29:54,422
her free show in Central Park.

727
00:29:54,463 --> 00:29:57,758
But she was only allowed
off the black list

728
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:58,926
on one condition.

729
00:29:58,968 --> 00:30:01,220
- Joy.
- Yeah?

730
00:30:01,304 --> 00:30:03,180
- I have to apologize.

731
00:30:03,264 --> 00:30:06,267
You would know the difference
between a Margaux and a Merlot

732
00:30:06,309 --> 00:30:08,102
if I smashed it over your head.

733
00:30:08,144 --> 00:30:10,771
And I think that toasting
with a glass of iced tea

734
00:30:10,855 --> 00:30:12,857
is just pure class.

735
00:30:12,940 --> 00:30:15,026
- Thank you very much.

736
00:30:15,109 --> 00:30:18,362
And I'm sorry I got you put
on the terrorist watch list.

737
00:30:18,446 --> 00:30:19,989
- That was you?
- Yeah.

738
00:30:22,742 --> 00:30:24,076
Good one.

739
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,121
- Thank God I don't have
to hear about this anymore.

740
00:30:29,248 --> 00:30:30,833
- SnackWell's snack well
when in a well you snack.

741
00:30:30,916 --> 00:30:32,960
SnackWell's snack well
when in a well you snack.

742
00:30:33,044 --> 00:30:34,462
SnackWell's snack well—

743
00:30:34,503 --> 00:30:36,464
Yeah, Rick, I'm getting
a little bit of feedback

744
00:30:36,547 --> 00:30:37,965
on the right.

745
00:30:38,007 --> 00:30:42,094
- Boss, boss, boss, boss,
it's the network for you two.

746
00:30:42,178 --> 00:30:43,262
- Hello?
- Hi.

747
00:30:43,346 --> 00:30:44,472
- Hey, guys.

748
00:30:44,513 --> 00:30:47,642
So I do have
some unfortunate news.

749
00:30:47,725 --> 00:30:50,436
We're not going to be
ordering a script.

750
00:30:50,519 --> 00:30:52,772
- Oh, man.

751
00:30:52,855 --> 00:30:54,649
- That's really sad to hear.

752
00:30:54,690 --> 00:30:57,068
- Because we are
ordering a pilot.

753
00:30:57,151 --> 00:31:01,447
We are committing to shooting
a pilot for this dang thing.

754
00:31:01,530 --> 00:31:03,824
- Holy shit!
- Oh, my God!

755
00:31:03,866 --> 00:31:05,159
Thank you guys.

756
00:31:05,242 --> 00:31:07,161
- There's more to come,
but I just wanted to call

757
00:31:07,203 --> 00:31:08,663
and let you guys know.

758
00:31:08,704 --> 00:31:11,499
- Hey, Ava, congratulations.

759
00:31:11,540 --> 00:31:13,292
- OK.
- OK. Thank you. Bye.

760
00:31:13,376 --> 00:31:14,460
Oh, my God!

761
00:31:14,543 --> 00:31:15,670
- Hey!

762
00:31:15,711 --> 00:31:17,630
Ava sold her show!
- Oh!

763
00:31:17,713 --> 00:31:19,674
Whoo!

764
00:31:19,715 --> 00:31:22,843
Oh, my God!
- Yes.

765
00:31:24,553 --> 00:31:26,180
- Free comedy.

766
00:31:26,263 --> 00:31:28,391
Deborah Vance
on the Great Lawn.

767
00:31:28,474 --> 00:31:32,144
See Deborah Vance?
Right down to the Great Lawn.

768
00:31:32,186 --> 00:31:34,146
- Deborah Vance,
best comedian in the world.

769
00:31:34,230 --> 00:31:35,856
Come get your merch
right over here.

770
00:31:35,898 --> 00:31:37,024
Shirts, hats...

771
00:31:37,108 --> 00:31:38,651
- Hey, how's it going?
Good to see you.

772
00:31:38,734 --> 00:31:40,861
Try the hat on.

773
00:31:40,903 --> 00:31:42,530
- Just don't get spooked if the
laughs don't sound the same.

774
00:31:42,613 --> 00:31:44,031
- Yeah, yeah, you're right.
- We're outdoors.

775
00:31:44,115 --> 00:31:45,658
Just remember that.
- Deborah, hey.

776
00:31:45,741 --> 00:31:47,868
So—
- No. What? What now?

777
00:31:47,910 --> 00:31:50,329
- They've closed the entrance
to the park at 72nd and 5th.

778
00:31:50,413 --> 00:31:51,831
- What?
Why?

779
00:31:51,872 --> 00:31:53,332
That's the entrance
closest to the Lawn.

780
00:31:53,416 --> 00:31:54,709
People won't be able to get in.

781
00:31:54,750 --> 00:31:57,545
- They closed it because
it's already overcrowded.

782
00:31:57,586 --> 00:31:58,963
- Oh.
- There are people

783
00:31:59,046 --> 00:32:01,382
spilling onto the bike path
and the trails.

784
00:32:01,424 --> 00:32:02,883
The Parks Department
doesn't know for sure,

785
00:32:02,925 --> 00:32:04,635
but my girl is estimating
that there are over

786
00:32:04,719 --> 00:32:06,220
30,000 people here right now.

787
00:32:06,303 --> 00:32:07,722
- Holy shit.

788
00:32:08,931 --> 00:32:10,683
- They came.

789
00:32:10,766 --> 00:32:11,892
And you know what?

790
00:32:11,934 --> 00:32:15,229
For stand-up in the park,
that's a record.

791
00:32:15,312 --> 00:32:17,982
- Now, that's a pretty
good lede to an obituary.

792
00:32:25,531 --> 00:32:27,199
- OK, everybody.
Everybody, come on.

793
00:32:27,283 --> 00:32:28,701
Gather, quick, quick,
quick, quick.

794
00:32:28,784 --> 00:32:30,911
Everybody, everybody,
everybody, come here.

795
00:32:30,953 --> 00:32:33,122
Come here.

796
00:32:33,205 --> 00:32:37,042
I couldn't have done this
without you.

797
00:32:37,126 --> 00:32:38,586
I love you.

798
00:32:38,669 --> 00:32:40,921
Thank you so much.

799
00:32:40,963 --> 00:32:42,256
Thank you.

800
00:32:44,633 --> 00:32:45,593
- I love you.

801
00:32:47,970 --> 00:32:52,600
- Please welcome to the stage
mi amiga Deborah Vance.

802
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,761
- How are you feeling tonight,
New York City?

803
00:33:34,517 --> 00:33:36,811
First I would like
to acknowledge,

804
00:33:36,894 --> 00:33:39,647
this is stolen land.

805
00:33:39,730 --> 00:33:41,190
- Oh, my God.

806
00:33:41,273 --> 00:33:43,317
I didn't even tell her
to say that.

807
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,028
- Now, if you came to the park
tonight for Deborah Vance,

808
00:33:46,111 --> 00:33:47,154
you're in the right place.

809
00:33:49,406 --> 00:33:53,494
If you came to the park tonight
for anonymous gay sex,

810
00:33:53,536 --> 00:33:55,871
you're still
in the right place.
