-Tiffany, here's how we're going to do this.
-
We're each going to take a turn telling a story
-
to our audience about one topic.
-
And tonight's topic is the holidays.
-
-Okay. -Okay.
-
So, since you're my guest, I'm going to give you
-
the honor of watching me go first.
-
Take your place over there. -Hi, guys.
-
I'm gonna let y'all look at me from the back.
-
-Alright, the holidays.
-
I'm trying to think. Okay, story about the holidays.
-
I could tell this one embarrassing story
-
that happened to me.
-
I went home.
-
I grew up in Upstate New York -- Saugerties, New York.
-
So, I was on "Saturday Night Live"
-
and I'd go visit my parents all the time.
-
And when I went, I'd just like to stay home.
-
I didn't really like -- My mom was always like,
-
"Let's go out for dinner.
-
Let's go to a restaurant. Let's go out for dinner."
-
I go, "I don't want to go out for dinner,
-
because I came home.
-
I want a home-cooked meal.
-
And I just don't want to do anything."
-
So she goes, "Let's just go out."
-
So, she liked to, like, show me off
-
because I was on "Saturday Night Live" or whatever.
-
And I go, "If we do go out, just don't make a big deal.
-
I don't want to draw attention or do anything special.
-
I just want to go out and just have a fun thing."
-
Like, don't embarrass me.
-
Like, "I'm not going to embarrass you. What?"
-
I go, "Already, you already have kind of an attitude."
-
So, I go, "Alright." So, we go out.
-
And we're out to -- We go to this restaurant and we sit down.
-
And she goes, "I'm not sure if I really like this table."
-
I go, "Don't you start."
-
And we're sitting here. This is where we're sitting.
-
So, we're sitting there, and she goes, "Okay, whatever."
-
So, she looks at the menu, and we order.
-
So, it's me, my dad, and my mom.
-
And the waiter -- The server comes over later
-
and brings my dish, my dad's dish, but not my mom's dish.
-
So she goes, "What's going on?"
-
And they go, "Sorry.
-
We just -- we're doing it right now.
-
We'll bring it as soon as it's ready."
-
And so she's like, "Oh, my God. Okay. Oh, my God.
-
Okay, fine." And I go, "It's no big deal.
-
Don't make a big thing." And, you know, whatever.
-
So, finally, she goes -- We're waiting,
-
actually waiting a pretty long time.
-
She goes, "I'm not going to eat."
-
"Don't you -- Please don't do this now."
-
She goes, "I'm not going to eat the dinner."
-
I go, "Just eat it. It's going to be fine.
-
Please. Look, here it comes." So, it comes out.
-
She goes, "I'm not sure.
-
I don't think I'm going to eat it."
-
I go, "Mom, just please. Just do it. Just take a bite."
-
So, anyways, she takes a bite. So, we're sitting there.
-
She takes a bite and she goes...
-
I go, "Oh, no, no. Are you -- are you choking?"
-
And, so, she goes... My dad stands up.
-
My dad puts his finger in my mom's mouth.
-
And he's trying to pull the lamb out of her mouth.
-
And then a woman from
-
the other end of the restaurant runs over.
-
She goes, "I'm a nurse" and starts knocking tables over
-
and then gets to my mom.
-
And she gives my mom the Heimlich.
-
And her sounds -- My mom never made these sounds.
-
My mom was going like...
-
And then this lamb ball comes flying out of her mouth.
-
And this woman saves my mom's life.
-
And she sits down and she's, like, crying.
-
And I looked at her and I go,
-
"Thank you for not embarrassing me."

-
Crazy.
-
-So, my holiday story is a little different.
-
When I was about 7, we had a Christmas.
-
Like, we didn't really celebrate Christmas.
-
And my stepdad -- I guess he decided that
-
we deserved a Christmas.
-
So, we all went to bed, and the next day, we wake up.
-
And there's a tree in the living room,
-
and there's toys everywhere.
-
And me and my sister are like, "Oh, my!
-
Oh, this is so cool!"
-
And we -- I got a bike.
-
And so I decided I would ride my bike.
-
And I rode my bike all the way to the liquor store,
-
'cause I wanted some pickles and Kool-Aid.
-
And, I mean, you ain't lived till you got --
-
you got a pickle and then you dip it in the Kool-aid
-
and then you eat it.
-
Oh, that's the ghetto delight. And it's a delicatessen.
-
So, anyways, we get to the liquor store,
-
and it's closed 'cause it's Christmas Day.
-
And, apparently, liquor stores aren't open
-
in the hood on Christmas Day.
-
Why? I don't know.
-
But we get back on our bikes
-
and then we ride back to the house.
-
And when we get back to the house,
-
my mom and my stepdad are arguing.
-
And my mom was like, "Why did you buy these toys?
-
We need to pay the rent.
-
How could you buy all the toys and not pay the rent?"
-
He's like, "I felt like the kids deserved toys."
-
And she's like, "No, the kids deserve a roof over their head.
-
That's what they deserve."
-
And, so, they was arguing and stuff.
-
And I was playing with my Rainbow Brite like, "Whatever."
-
And... [ Laughter ]
-
I was happy.
-
But then they really argued, like, all night long,
-
and it really got on my nerves and I became unhappy.
-
So -- And then a week later, we got an eviction notice,
-
so boo Christmas.
-

-
-Come on. Boo Christmas. That's how you do it.
-
-Boo Christmas. -Boo Christmas.
