Stop the tours of the underground railroads on the underground road,
so we don't we don't want people to know. No,

pull out that green book. Green Book is real, Amber,
We really need to write a new green Book. No

ship today. M M, because it's about to be extremely important.
Imagine if when you first had this idea, it'd be done.

we're just like to fight into street fight more, just
to start more fights in the street. That's right. To
join a gang, just one gang. You never check my attitude. Hmmm, okay,

is knuck if you book. That's what it sounds like. Sure,
(02:34):
New York's resolution is knock if you but listen, I'm
not mad at it because I feel like we might
need that attitude stepping through twenty twenty five might need
k nothing you book? That might be our new theme book. Amber,

(02:56):
because ready again, we went right back to gloom and doom,
and we were not trying to do that. I think
I'm gonna do something sweet and pleasant. I've talked about
it before. I think my New Year's resolution is to
start my cute little garden. That's what I'm doing. I've
already got it planned out, build my little privacy fence,
because you know, I got some nosy eyes in this place,
(03:20):
privacy barrier. I'm a little garden out there. There's a
tic Took sound trend video where it's a black person
getting bothered and they go the sound is when you're black,
you're never truly alone because there'll always be a white
person all up in your business. And that's you. That's
(03:41):
your every day with me, that is my every day life.

white people want. You got it? I think it factor
is real? Really is congratulations? Just stay bothering me? Yeah,

anyone in my neighborhood listens to this podcast. But when
I opened my door, I look around, I look to
the left. If I see somebody. I'll go right back
in for a minute. If I if I'm not on

Pain's great, Lacy, what do you think of it? Would
you go? No? No, I don't need to go there. No,
(08:26):
I don't need to go there there. This is what
I hate more than anything is to sit through songs
of people that I don't know. Okay, if I'm going
to some type of special event, all of those people
that you name, there's twenty songs that I don't know.
I'm too old, my feet hurt. I've got to stand
and bob my head through that mess. No, no, no, no,
no no. If it's a Tee Pain concert, I'm there.
(08:48):
Dougie Fresh and Slick Ricks concert, yeah, anybody else. I
gotta sit through something that I don't know and that
may hurt my ears. My ears are fifty years old.
I can't handle this. I can't handle it. I don't
even know what I just said. I can't handle that.
So I'm going to be like, right, you guys, go
(09:09):
tell me how it was. I'm going to sit at
home watch it on TV, and whenever there's someone that
I don't want to see, I'm gonna get up and
get my cocoa. I'm going to get up and you know,
get some food. I don't want to be standing there
and you know it's going to be outside of the cold.
Absolutely not. I'm not going to do that. That's for
young people. Would you go and stand out there? I've
(09:29):
aged out of concerts. Okay, yeah, I'm not doing that. No,
it's got to be someone that I love, and it's
got to be inside, and I have to have the
option of standing or sitting. I'm definitely I don't go
to standing concerts anymore. No. I did that a couple
of years ago, and I died and they had to
reseate me. I died right there. No, no, we're not
(09:51):
doing that. Don't ask me to go. I'm not going.
I don't want that. I just can't. Now, does Usher
have a Vegas residency? Does Janet Jackson? Does Tony Breakston? Okay, yes,
you might get me. You might get me. You might
get me anything other goodies? You probably and you have
to have premium tickets, right like one kiss on the cheek.
(10:16):
Every everybody owes me a kiss. But you know what,
I totally forgot. I do have a New Year's I
have a New year New Year's Eve resolution, and it
is to go to Essence Mest. I've always wanted to
go so I can pick and choose my concerts. Oh
my gosh, I would love it because they always have
(10:39):
people that you're like, they have Anita Baker like, they
always have love it pretty great. I would love to
go on to go. I should try to get tickets. Yeah,
could you thank you? Okay, Yeah, that's going to be amazing.
Look into that right, lease write it down? Can I
get tickets to us? Also, you talk about my cruises,
(11:04):
you talk about my cruises. I would go on like
you talk about my death ships. I would go on
like R and B music cruise. If there was some
people playing and it was like three days, I could
do that. I also would like to fly to like
what is the island or what's the place they have
these Caribbean soul fests. That's fun, the Caribbean Soul fest.
(11:27):
I would do that as well. Yeah, I would do that.
So I totally just lied and said I wouldn't go
to any concerts, and now I walked it all back.
I walked it all night back. But these concerts are
not going to be people screaming and acting a fool,
knocking people over yesterday. It's going to be my age,
a bunch of aunties having a good time. That's what
(11:49):
I want. Yeah, And like if El DeBarge was playing
in your garage. I'll go see that. I go see that.
I don't sure where he's playing to see right now,
he's in there, He's probably he's in there. He doesn't
want to I'm coming in second. I gotta do this podcast.
What he's so sad? I love it. I don't treat
(12:14):
it bad. You're just in there. I really couldn't do it. No, wait,
did you say what your resolutions were? I did. I
said in my garden and then I just threw in
essence Fest that you're going to get us tickets for now.
So those were and you got This is when you
start essence Fest, because by the time it sneaks up
(12:35):
on you, you can't get the good tickets anymore. You
have to start yesterday. Okay. So I'm already a little
upset at you that you don't have these essens. And
we know people in New Orleans. Now we know some people. Okay,
(12:55):
we are going to now do slide out of Lacey's
d MS. It's been a minute, and of course I
have some terrible looks for you, so let's just jump
on in. Okay, this one I have been holding on
for a couple of weeks because I want to see
Amber's face. I was talking to someone on FaceTime. That
(13:17):
means that we have gone through the whole three four, five, six,
seven days of just chatting online. We're comfortable enough to
exchange phone numbers, and now I am face timing you.
I facetimed him and before he spoke to me. I
don't know if he knew the phone was on. He
(13:40):
cleared his nose with his finger, like huh and huh
oh in was he outside? And that's the kicker. No
he was not. Oh godhead oh. Then he realized that
my face had popped up. I went cut it off, blocked.
(14:06):
You're you're what are we doing? Oh my god? You
cleared your nose in your home? What does your home
look like? What's going on over there? I don't have time.
Let me just send a therapist. I can look up
your address through your phone number. Let me send a
therapist to you. We need where's your mom? Where's your dad?
Where's your family member? What's going on? Do you need
(14:28):
a cleaning lady? Do you need a tissue? Tissues? A
box of tissues is a dollar ninety eight? What is
what do you need? I can help you? What do
you need? Ew lazy. That's terrifying. Well I set up
before I'll say it again. What do you need? Get gay?
Get gay? Right now? Got get gay? Get gay? Yes gay,
(14:50):
yay yes right, kik kik as fast as you can,
and a neck goes for everybody with ears kyk Amber.
Here we are with Amber Ruffin in the gay announcement. Amber,
take it away. Hi, they were right. We are looking
to turn everyone gay. So, uh, we're right, and everyone
(15:12):
who's not gay is wrong. I stampered. Oh yeah, it's pretty,
it's pretty. It's pretty sad out there. Yeah, everyone you
talk about is terrifying. Liska me crazy, DM you've received right?
Oh yeah yeah? Okay, so uh this is a message
that I got that says I've talked to a lot
(15:35):
of females, right, okay, Now we're already deep in trouble.
We're deep. But I can tell you like to listen
to your man. You would make a good wife. Amber.
Can you tell tell me what's wrong? Just break it down, please,
I'm gonna read you again. I've talked to a lot
of females, but I can tell you like to listen
to your man. You would make a good wife. Amber.
(15:55):
Can you break that down, please. Yes, So no one
is really calling women females anymore, and when you do it,
it's a sign that you are in at least nineteen
eighty two, being a wife. Making a good wife isn't
the big compliment you think it is, because a lot
of women of today are aspiring to be your wife. Also,
(16:21):
listening to your man can eat shit. So those are
the those are the things wrong with that, right. I'm
a listener to you, sir. You don't know you don't
know who he's talking to. I won't be listening to
the opposite. Just explain the opposite of me. You explain
the opposite of me. I'm not listening to you, sir,
not after you came at me with females. Okay, No,
(16:43):
And how about this, don't say wife in the first message.
That's a that's you've already scared me off. You could
have said a bunch of other things that still added
wife only in and I'm out. Let's just say hello,
how are you? My name is Steve. We don't need
you'd make a good wife. What's going on? Okay? Also,
like you're dangling that as the big prize to be
(17:06):
your wife? Yeah? No, thank you. Yeah, I don't love that.
I don't love it, but Lacy, surely that's the last.
I just have one more, just one more. Share has
to stop. Just one more, just one more. It's horrible. This,
I think is just so hilarious. And I hated it,
(17:29):
but I loved it. Okay. I talked to a man
and literally two interactions and oh, first of all, we
talked for a while, maybe three four days. We exchanged
numbers again, I exchanged the number. Uh. He texted me.
He said how are you? And I said, oh, I'm fine,
And then he just gave me this long drawn out
thing of what he's looking for in a partner. Ever
(17:51):
before I did respond, he goes, uh, if my wife calls,
you don't answer. Her number is blah blah blah. And
he gave me the number. Oh what, And I said,
you have messaged the wrong woman. If she calls, I'm
saying it all gotten to her phone, got into his fault,
(18:13):
probably snatched it from him as we were chi. I
never got a call from her. I never got a
call and I didn't call the number. Yeah, but she
knew you need a call, like she doesn't even need
to call me, she's reading our text. She's reading it, sir. Wow. Yeah,
at some point this has to do damage to you
(18:37):
as a human being. Get gay again, Amber is he?
Get gay is brought to you by gay everybody, God,
Gay Gay. Okay, you gotta write that song. You gotta
write that song. Okay, I already see it. Get gay
(18:57):
last got down the street so much easier. Which she's here. Okay.
Do we need to go on a second break or
are we okay, Lacy, I we don't need to have
been on these breaks. I have been on you with
these breaks. These all the breaks, brig it up, bring
it up, were good up breaks. I'm fine, no breaks yet, Okay,
(19:19):
all right, then it is time for you know what
it's sister cord. No no, no, no, no, Nonna Dun says
to God. Okay, here we are you ready? Yeah? This
one is sad. It's so sad. I have no one
to kiss on New Year's Eve. My friends and I
(19:41):
are going to Times Square to watch the ball drop
on New Year's Eve. The problem is that they are
going with their partners and I'm newly single. I feel
a little left out about having about not having someone
to kiss on New Year's Do you have any advice
for someone feeling a little bit lonely on New Year's Eve?
Thank you for asking. Now this question is not for you,
(20:02):
it's for me. Don't go with him. Don't go to
no couple's retreat. That's a couple's retreat. You already sad
about it. Ain't even happen yet, and you're already said
you better call your five single friends and hang out
with them. Go to somewhere where it's loud, music is
playing and you're dancing. Don't go there and sing old anxiety,
(20:23):
and then you ain't got nobody the kids you standing there,
or unless you take one of them stuffed boyfriend pillows
like this and be like and then kiss. Don't do that.
Don't do that. Save yourself because you're already mad. You're
already sad about it. Don't do that. Have something at
your house with some ice cream and some champagne. Remember,
go with them. Kiss a stranger. Now I'm not very well,
(20:47):
that's not true. I was kind of wild. But New
Year's some strangers get kissed. That's the fun years. Kiss them.
Find a stranger you've been making eye contact. Everyone gets
a little flirtatious. Look, then you find a stranger and
you kiss them. That's part I don't know. If you
watch that show that New Year's Ball Drop, there ain't
(21:08):
nobody around you. It ain't boot up. That is for
boot up people that want to kiss on TV, that
want to kiss. In Times Square New Year's Eve Balldrop,
New York is all about kissing. Okay, Amber, and you
watch it this year. It's all about who you kiss. Okay.
Anderson Cooper will be there. Oh, he'll give you a
big kiss. Okay, never mind, I tell him he's so cute. Okay,
(21:31):
I changed my mind. It's Camber. Okay, So go up
to him and say that Amber Ruffins said that you
could kiss him and then he'll kiss you. That's right.
You gotta get kiss whose Amber Ruffin? And he won't
say get off of this platform? He will see. Also,
climb up, punch out the security first there, same as
Lenny and Steve. Punch them both out, then climb up
(21:54):
to where he's at and then kiss him. It's pretty easy.
It's gonna be fun, Okay, Amber. Would you like to
read this next week? No, I'll read it my girlfriend
and I want to go to different New Year's Eve parties.
This one makes me mad. Oh, we've been dating for
a few months and our different friend groups are having
separate parties. They are in two different cities, so stopping
(22:17):
by both is going to be pretty difficult. We haven't
spent much time with each other's friends, so I feel
like it might be awkward for me hanging out with
her friends and for her hanging out with mine. If
it was any other day, I wouldn't mind going to
separate parties. But it's our first New Year's Eve. What
do you think we should do? You don't want your
girlfriend there. This is to the person that wrote it. Yeah,
(22:40):
we haven't hung out with each other's friends. You don't
want her there, And I guarantee you she already feel
in some type of way that you didn't invite her,
because guess what, she will go anywhere with you, and
you should also feel the same to go anywhere with her.
You don't want it there, Damn, this is not hard.
You're just not that into her. If you are into someone,
you are going to be like, Oh my god, come
to me with this party. I want to show you off.
I want to introduce your You don't want her there,
(23:02):
go ahead, they might because she you don't want us
to go to her friend's party. I think they both
want each other at each other's parties. They both want
each other at their parties. Then work it out. Okay,
work it out, Marcus. I feel like they're just Marcus
is just having a tough time working. Marcus didn't ask
(23:23):
her to go. Marcus isn't like, you know, I asked
her to go. Ain't nobody. You haven't even come to that.
You don't want her there? No, it did it. They
talked about it, and they decided they both want he's
talking to us, Marcus, stop looking at us and talk
to Sarah. She wants to go with you, Narcy. This
is a big couple holiday. It is. It is like
(23:43):
everybody wants to kiss at midnight. You don't want to
kiss her? Yeah you want to kiss her? Yeah? Okay,
what are we doing? Yeah? What do you feel? Okay?
Thank you? Marcus. You better work this out. You better
call her up right now and say this year, can
you come with me? And then next year we you know,
you better work something now. You'll better be together. That's
(24:05):
all I know. You'll better be together on New Year's
because she's gonna be around, so Sarah. Sarah is fine
as hell. You think Sarah walk up to Sarah during
that party and ask for a kiss, Marcus, don't fuck
this up, man, don't go don't go hang with your friends.
If I at that party and I see Sarah, I'm
asking her for a kids, right, right, Sarah? What's saying
as hell? Marcus? Are you not inviting Sarah because Tiffany's there?
(24:31):
You better work, you better find out what you want.
I'm so man, Okay, sorry, go on in bra Yeah,
I don't know. This is a different relationship. If you
don't ask her to go to the party. If she doesn't,
now you need to be worried. If she didn't ask
you to go to the party, that's right, let's worry
about Sarah. What dirt? Is she doing? Fine as she is, Sarah, fine,
(24:54):
never see the girl friend Sarah walked pass me. Oh
my god, they're a damn Marcus. You don't know what
you you don't know what you hold up? Sarah? God, girl,
(25:16):
you're fine? Yeah, okay, all right by Sarah fine as hell. Okay,
But anyway, I've said what I said. I mean, yeah,
I kind of feel like you guys should work it out.
But I feel like this. Though you haven't met each
other's friends and you haven't gone to a party together,
you know, you haven't been in this social situation where
(25:37):
it's me and my friends and an outside element. M
How many of those people have you dated? They all
know your business and ship. I feel like this, And
it's a holiday, it's a lot of stuff. At one time,
something's gonna get sucked up. You don't mess up, say
the wrong thing. She's gonna catch you looking at Tiffany.
(25:57):
You can't stand Tiffany. But for those reasons, Sarah needs
to be there, because Tiffany's like, this is my chance, Marcus.
What I say, Marcus bringing Sarah? M M. She will
make her move. Sarah. So we think you're we think
you're in danger. Sorry, you're in danger. You're in danger girl.
(26:22):
If he does not make that move to invite you,
there's a reason. Yeah, but not meeting my friend group
is not a reason. That's weird. Do you want you
eventually want her to meet your friends? If not, something
something's going on. Okay, I'm done with that. Wash my
hands of Marcus. Sarah and Tiffany triangle. Okay, Yeah. The
next one is should I ask a girl I've been
(26:43):
dating recently to do something on New Year's Eve. We've
seen each other a couple of times a week for
the last month, and I really like her. I'm not
doing anything on New Year's Eve and was wondering if
I would, if it would be too early to ask
her out on such a big holiday. What do you think, Marcus,
you say what Tony is doing. Tony is second the
(27:05):
mission because he likes her and it's only been a
damn mone Marcus. I swear to God, Marcus, Tony, you
go ahead and ask her. She's waiting for you. That's
it's perfect. It's not like you guys are getting married.
It's New Year's Eve. It is very romantic. I hope
she says yes. I hope she does. Well. You see this, Mark,
I'm so mad at Marcus. Marcus. You see this. You
(27:26):
see what Tony doing. This was perfect. This was a
perfect scenario. That's right. Mmmmmmmmmm right? Everyone, Okay, we're all
except Marcus. Everyone else was doing great. Marcus. Yeah, that's
a mess up. But yes, definitely, you gotta ask her out.
(27:48):
I think that's really cute. And you guys are in
love and you'll be in the forever. I love it.
I love it, I love it. Okay, I know Break
you're talking to me. I'm like, y'all haven't moved yet.

you see it? No? I know you didn't because I
barely saw it. It's she is a rapper and she
(29:06):
just did a song. It was kind of like a
medley of her songs on Colbert and it was so
fucking good. Lacy, you got it. My my daughter just
played me twenty Doci songs in a row and was like,
listen to this. I love this person. I love her
so funny. I've been DOCI. What she did with the
(29:28):
segment was so beautiful. Okay, I'm gonna watch about it.
I'm gonna I'm gonna go with you right after this.
You gotta go google it. What's your favorite thing? One
of my favorite twenty twenty four things was when uh
Kamala gave us two minutes of hope. That felt great.
(29:51):
Those two minutes of hope felt really good. I I
was I was sure. I don't know why I was sure.
I mean, I was like, I was like eighty five
percent sure. I was one thousand percent sure. I was walking.
I was in Nebraska at the time, So that's why
you went around this mess, uh, because I had Trump
(30:12):
people driving around with the Trump flags. But I still
was like, we're gonna make it, and I felt still
good inside. Yeah. I had a friend that went to
the Democratic Convention. She was like, yeah, she showed use videos.
Everybody was like woo. So those two minutes ago nothing
felt better. Yeah, And it was like walking. It's like
slipping on a banana puel. It's like Lucy and the
(30:36):
Football and the Running Man. If someone threw a banana
pill at me and pell that's what happened. Yeah. My
other great moment was twenty twenty four. I turned fifty
ooh and had a great birthday party and my daughter goes, mom,
I got you a gift, and she came around the corner.
Now this is small to some, but it's huge to
(30:58):
me with the elder Barge cutout. She was like, elder
Barge is at your party? And I was like, yep, yes,
that was pretty cool. It's great those pretty life size
cut out of ilde barge. That's right. Yeah, had a
great time, had a great time. I see you did
a good job. A yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Goodbye twenty
(31:19):
twenty four. It's so hard do you say goodbye? Okay?
What are do you have? Like what's like your favorite
New Year's Eve place? Like? Do you have like a
(31:40):
favorite New Year's Eve party moment? Like do you have
something that you always want to do? What's your favorite
place to spend time in New Year's Eve? Like one
New Year's Eve? I feel like most of my party
New Year's Eves have been I guess that can't be true,
but most of all, most of my party ones have
been spent at Boom Chicago in Amsterdam. That's a theater
(32:03):
in Amsterdam, and Boom Chicago would always have a party.
I used to work at. This theater was like Second
City blah blah blah, and the party was the most fun.
And in Amsterdam on New Year's fireworks are legal. Oh
I don't think so anymore. But we would go to
the roof of the building and the building was like
(32:24):
in downtown, in the middle of it, and for like
twelve minutes at midnight, for three hundred and sixty degrees
around you, the whole sky was lit up with fireworks
from just regular people and it looked like daytime, that
is how many fireworks there were. And when you walk
through the streets the next day, they were covered in
(32:46):
like that pink paper that fireworks like the explosive parts
are in. And that was the sick those Each of
those kind of blend together for a lot of reasons,
but they it was the consistently the best fucking party
I've ever been to. So much fun, so much fun.
(33:07):
Boom Chicago New Year. Ain't no New Year like a
Boom Chicago New Year. That was great. Those were the days.
Is it like, are you working or are you just
getting together with the boom Chicago people? Like, was this
after a show or was it just like everybody comes
to the theater show, let's do your show, and you
perform the show. Then everyone moves all of the tables
(33:28):
and chairs out of the way, which is pretty fucking hard,
so we kind of have to kick everyone out for
a while, and then the whole theater and the whole
front bar fills up with people. Then a select few
of us get to upstairs in the building and hang
out on the roof and party down and it's so cool.
(33:49):
It's just it's the neatest, coolest little noodle. I love it. Okay,
what was I gonna ask you? I'm how beautiful I am?
How'd I get like this? I can't bring Oh, I
just want to be hanging around with all of my
(34:10):
friends and listen to some smooth jazz or listen to
like Chad Stoner Angalie. These are all Omaha Nebraska celebrities
that are like the best singers in the world, Angelia
and Timeless. Look them up. If you don't know who
they are, they're amazing. If they're doing anything. I will
go to one of their concerts, and I've been to
(34:31):
their little concerts before any type of Omaha, New Year's
Eve thin, because you know, I just want to put
on a cute dress with my friends and look cute
and have my half sip of whatever alcohol there is
before I fall down. I cannot drink. I think it's
getting worse. I really truly think it's getting worse. I
got this from Dad. I don't need to drink and
(34:53):
my water. Yeah for losers, I go out there. We'll
take all of her drinks. I can do. I cannot.
I've become a white wait heavyweight. Do you have a
no one has it? Do you have a New Year's
Eve drink that you love so much? Well, you're like
a session on New Year's so that I can go
all night? Oh my god, I mean, what do you
(35:15):
mean you can go all night when vodka's not gonna
kill you? That's right, Tequila you can only have like
four margerita is at the most nonfore maitas. I'm gonna
have a good time, but I really can't drink more
than that. But vodka, shit, I can have eight hundred
(35:36):
fives and be fine. I can have eight hundred vodkas
and fly a plane. And I don't even know how
to fly a plane. So vodka will be the knowledge
that is. You know, that's my go to drink. When
I am out with my friends, I'll get my vodka Cranberry.
And I don't ever feel like I'm Can I drink
wine in public? Absolutely not. Amber knows it takes. All
(35:57):
I need is three SIPs of wine. I always pour
too much, and then what do I do? Amber, I
covered with a napkin. You were making fun of me
the water, and I just sit it somewhere and I
might go back to it, but I can't. She's forgotten.
You're right. Then if anyone moves and I get mad,
I do get mad. Where's my wine? It's gone? They've
poured it down the sink. It's gone three hours. I
(36:18):
poured it out. Whatever, But I do. I love my
little vodka Cranberry, and I realize I have I can
sip on that and still be fine. I've never well.
Amber ruined it for me. But I used to be
able to say I've never been drunk in my life.
But Amber and I went on vacation. Remember when I
had like three drinks in an hour. Now to some people,
they're like, what I did this, I'm doing this now.
(36:40):
I had I think two to three drinks, lost my mind.
It might have just been two. Yeah, I can't remember
she's ever drink. But if you go on my Instagram,
hole down on a beach and you'll see one of
those videos where she is fucking shit face and I'm
(37:00):
worse than she is. I think that was just off
of two drinks. It was off of two little old cosmos. Yeah,
knock me. There's no reason for me to be doing that.
It's no reason. There's no reason for me to be
drinking a little Okay, what else? Oh, this is what
(37:23):
I was gonna say. What So I've always wanted to
go see the ball drop and all of this, and
Amber was hosting a show and I got to go
to New York but it was drink COVID, so it
was completely empty. It was like a horror movie, like
(37:43):
the Aliens had come and the or like it was
like the apocalypse and there was no one left in
New York City. So Times Square was completely empty people
and it all blocked off and we got to like
walk through Times Square. It was empty. And then she
got to go up and they hosted the show like
this building thing, but they didn't really have the trip.
But that was my first New Year's Eve, New York
(38:05):
New Year's Eve, but it wasn't like a normal one
where you're wild and wall people and guess what, I
loved it. I don't want people touching me. That was
five years Eve with me and Carson Daily. Yeah, Twitch
also hosted RIP and we had Uh it was this
odd It's really odd. Yeah, it's really odd happening. It's
(38:29):
funny that you remember it like that. I remember it
as regular with plenty of people. No, no, no, no,
it wasn't like that at all. It was pretty empty. Yeah.
I was just so happy we were indoors because this
year I work at CNN as well as NBC, and
we're going to First of all, NBC is going to
(38:50):
have a day drinking special Seth, So then it'll just
be a lot of the best parts of day drinking
and then Seth and I do a bit in it.
I think I'm not sure if that goes across every
part of the country or not. Okay, Also, in the
(39:13):
in the earlier hours of New Year's I'm going to
go to CNN's thing in Times Square. Kiss me, don't
do that. Don't do that. I'll go and then I'll
make you no, no, no, never mind, never mind, no
no mind. But our nieces are going to be with me,
(39:33):
Kenna and Connie. That's true. I don't know. I'm gonna
stay till midnight or if we'll come out here and
then look at these little fireworks. Man, wherever you go,
you go and see good firework. You can see good
fireworks from where you're at. Yeah, No, matter where you're at,
you're going to see great fireworks. It's not no. I
feel like you should stay in the city. That's the
(39:54):
chance of a lifetime that they'll never get. I know,
I should try. You should try. Oh that sounds like fun.
My roadcaster really wants to stop recording. He's saying he's
gonna be too full in a minute. Do you think
we should stop the podcast or do you have one
more New Year's wish? I am going to say, I
(40:16):
don't know how you can remember or can't remember how
empty that was, because I have a picture standing in
front of the tree out there. I don't know where
we were walking. We're standing in front of something and
it was you and me and it's just like completely empty,
that's all you're saying. Well, I do remember there's nobody
(40:36):
there the business at security, and I was they were bitch.
First of all, we always get the business. No matter
what we're doing, we always get in trouble or yeah,
treated poorly. No one never wants to let us in,
no one. No one wants to let me in. But

(00:22):
I'm a little terrified. Oh yeah, yeah, I mean, are
we gonna have to open up the underground railroad? Is
it closed? Is there a door that we can see? Open? Tours? Now?
Stop the tours of the underground railroads on the underground road,
so we don't we don't want people to know. No,
(00:43):
pull out that green book. Green Book is real, Amber,
We really need to write a new green Book. No
one's steal our idea, but we need to update that
ship today. M M, because it's about to be extremely important.
Imagine if when you first had this idea, it'd be done.
(01:05):
It would be relevant as fuck, we'd be done halfway
through this year, and we would need it. We would
need it, you all. We're not going to We're not
gonna like catastrophize. No Noman say, hey, everything's going to
(01:26):
be really really bad, and my wah blah whah, because
we know it will be bad. I know, yeah, you
outside you went to training on all of us. Ain't
nobody got an umbrella? And this metaphor is out of hand.
And what we're saying is twenty twenty five might be scary,
(01:49):
might be a little bit. Hey, Amber, do you have
any on New Year's resolutions? Do you even do that
make yours? Yeah? I always have? Oh oh really? Okay?
What are they? They're always like to sleep more, to
drink more alcohol in net water, should go to more parties.
(02:12):
Those are to have the same resolutions over here. And yes,
we're just like to fight into street fight more, just
to start more fights in the street. That's right. To
join a gang, just one gang. You never check my attitude. Hmmm, okay,
so you are your theme. It sounds like your theme
is knuck if you book. That's what it sounds like. Sure,
(02:34):
New York's resolution is knock if you but listen, I'm
not mad at it because I feel like we might
need that attitude stepping through twenty twenty five might need
k nothing you book? That might be our new theme book. Amber,
and I love a good theme song. Yeah. Mine was
never scared for a long time, but now I don't know.
Might be nuggety book might be knuck if you book
(02:56):
because ready again, we went right back to gloom and doom,
and we were not trying to do that. I think
I'm gonna do something sweet and pleasant. I've talked about
it before. I think my New Year's resolution is to
start my cute little garden. That's what I'm doing. I've
already got it planned out, build my little privacy fence,
because you know, I got some nosy eyes in this place,
(03:20):
privacy barrier. I'm a little garden out there. There's a
tic Took sound trend video where it's a black person
getting bothered and they go the sound is when you're black,
you're never truly alone because there'll always be a white
person all up in your business. And that's you. That's
(03:41):
your every day with me, that is my every day life.
People they're they're getting her, got me? She has what
white people want. You got it? I think it factor
is real? Really is congratulations? Just stay bothering me? Yeah,
(04:06):
I really do. And I don't care if I doubt
anyone in my neighborhood listens to this podcast. But when
I opened my door, I look around, I look to
the left. If I see somebody. I'll go right back
in for a minute. If I if I'm not on
a clock, if I don't have the really be because
I don't have time. No, I don't have time for
the shenanigans, the questions. I don't have time for. I
(04:28):
go right back in and just wait like, okay, they
went inside, let me come back out now. Mm hmmm,
I don't have time. Yes, yes, these people are. They
want to bother you. They really And now that again
I've said it before. Moving my parents in this is
a new chapter in my life. My dad loves to
(04:49):
stay outside. He said, listen, I'm gonna be outside a lot.
Do I have to worry about this? I said, yeah,
they're going to ten with you, sir. Be fine. They're
gonna They're gonna bother you a lot. They're gonna ask
you a lot of questions. Yeah, be ready for it.
Because growing up we never had neighbors like that. Dad
was friends with the guy next door, but they weren't like, hey, buddy,
(05:11):
what you're doing over there? All the time, nobody was
in your mix. The yard was, and I do. What's
so crazy is everybody I do have a huge yard.
They still find their way. Yeah, they still find their way. Yeah,
you're always on your toes. So in this New year,
snug if you but come on over here if you
want ship. My parents are over here. Don't catch Teresa.

dad was the only one moving with me. Let mom,
Let mom catch you come over here with that mess
with Mom's here, she'll shut it down. Every once in
a while, I think, Oh man, I really wish I
could check my attitude, like the other day when I
(05:59):
cussed out the dentist. But that I go. You know,
it could be worse. I could be just wilding out.
Mm hmm, like mommy, like your mom. Okay, I think
it's time for us to take a break. It is
it is okay, hey everyone, it's time for us to
(06:22):

Pain's great, Lacy, what do you think of it? Would
you go? No? No, I don't need to go there. No,
(08:26):
I don't need to go there there. This is what
I hate more than anything is to sit through songs
of people that I don't know. Okay, if I'm going
to some type of special event, all of those people
that you name, there's twenty songs that I don't know.
I'm too old, my feet hurt. I've got to stand
and bob my head through that mess. No, no, no, no,
no no. If it's a Tee Pain concert, I'm there.
(08:48):
Dougie Fresh and Slick Ricks concert, yeah, anybody else. I
gotta sit through something that I don't know and that
may hurt my ears. My ears are fifty years old.
I can't handle this. I can't handle it. I don't
even know what I just said. I can't handle that.
So I'm going to be like, right, you guys, go
(09:09):
tell me how it was. I'm going to sit at
home watch it on TV, and whenever there's someone that
I don't want to see, I'm gonna get up and
get my cocoa. I'm going to get up and you know,
get some food. I don't want to be standing there
and you know it's going to be outside of the cold.
Absolutely not. I'm not going to do that. That's for
young people. Would you go and stand out there? I've
(09:29):
aged out of concerts. Okay, yeah, I'm not doing that. No,
it's got to be someone that I love, and it's
got to be inside, and I have to have the
option of standing or sitting. I'm definitely I don't go
to standing concerts anymore. No. I did that a couple
of years ago, and I died and they had to
reseate me. I died right there. No, no, we're not
(09:51):
doing that. Don't ask me to go. I'm not going.
I don't want that. I just can't. Now, does Usher
have a Vegas residency? Does Janet Jackson? Does Tony Breakston? Okay, yes,
you might get me. You might get me. You might
get me anything other goodies? You probably and you have
to have premium tickets, right like one kiss on the cheek.
(10:16):
Every everybody owes me a kiss. But you know what,
I totally forgot. I do have a New Year's I
have a New year New Year's Eve resolution, and it
is to go to Essence Mest. I've always wanted to
go so I can pick and choose my concerts. Oh
my gosh, I would love it because they always have
(10:39):
people that you're like, they have Anita Baker like, they
always have love it pretty great. I would love to
go on to go. I should try to get tickets. Yeah,
could you thank you? Okay, Yeah, that's going to be amazing.
Look into that right, lease write it down? Can I
get tickets to us? Also, you talk about my cruises,
(11:04):
you talk about my cruises. I would go on like
you talk about my death ships. I would go on
like R and B music cruise. If there was some
people playing and it was like three days, I could
do that. I also would like to fly to like
what is the island or what's the place they have
these Caribbean soul fests. That's fun, the Caribbean Soul fest.
(11:27):
I would do that as well. Yeah, I would do that.
So I totally just lied and said I wouldn't go
to any concerts, and now I walked it all back.
I walked it all night back. But these concerts are
not going to be people screaming and acting a fool,
knocking people over yesterday. It's going to be my age,
a bunch of aunties having a good time. That's what
(11:49):
I want. Yeah, And like if El DeBarge was playing
in your garage. I'll go see that. I go see that.
I don't sure where he's playing to see right now,
he's in there, He's probably he's in there. He doesn't
want to I'm coming in second. I gotta do this podcast.
What he's so sad? I love it. I don't treat
(12:14):
it bad. You're just in there. I really couldn't do it. No, wait,
did you say what your resolutions were? I did. I
said in my garden and then I just threw in
essence Fest that you're going to get us tickets for now.
So those were and you got This is when you
start essence Fest, because by the time it sneaks up
(12:35):
on you, you can't get the good tickets anymore. You
have to start yesterday. Okay. So I'm already a little
upset at you that you don't have these essens. And
we know people in New Orleans. Now we know some people. Okay,
(12:55):
we are going to now do slide out of Lacey's
d MS. It's been a minute, and of course I
have some terrible looks for you, so let's just jump
on in. Okay, this one I have been holding on
for a couple of weeks because I want to see
Amber's face. I was talking to someone on FaceTime. That
(13:17):
means that we have gone through the whole three four, five, six,
seven days of just chatting online. We're comfortable enough to
exchange phone numbers, and now I am face timing you.
I facetimed him and before he spoke to me. I
don't know if he knew the phone was on. He
(13:40):
cleared his nose with his finger, like huh and huh
oh in was he outside? And that's the kicker. No
he was not. Oh godhead oh. Then he realized that
my face had popped up. I went cut it off, blocked.
(14:06):
You're you're what are we doing? Oh my god? You
cleared your nose in your home? What does your home
look like? What's going on over there? I don't have time.
Let me just send a therapist. I can look up
your address through your phone number. Let me send a
therapist to you. We need where's your mom? Where's your dad?
Where's your family member? What's going on? Do you need
(14:28):
a cleaning lady? Do you need a tissue? Tissues? A
box of tissues is a dollar ninety eight? What is
what do you need? I can help you? What do
you need? Ew lazy. That's terrifying. Well I set up
before I'll say it again. What do you need? Get gay?
Get gay? Right now? Got get gay? Get gay? Yes gay,
(14:50):
yay yes right, kik kik as fast as you can,
and a neck goes for everybody with ears kyk Amber.
Here we are with Amber Ruffin in the gay announcement. Amber,
take it away. Hi, they were right. We are looking
to turn everyone gay. So, uh, we're right, and everyone
(15:12):
who's not gay is wrong. I stampered. Oh yeah, it's pretty,
it's pretty. It's pretty sad out there. Yeah, everyone you
talk about is terrifying. Liska me crazy, DM you've received right?
Oh yeah yeah? Okay, so uh this is a message
that I got that says I've talked to a lot
(15:35):
of females, right, okay, Now we're already deep in trouble.
We're deep. But I can tell you like to listen
to your man. You would make a good wife. Amber.
Can you tell tell me what's wrong? Just break it down, please,
I'm gonna read you again. I've talked to a lot
of females, but I can tell you like to listen
to your man. You would make a good wife. Amber.
(15:55):
Can you break that down, please. Yes, So no one
is really calling women females anymore, and when you do it,
it's a sign that you are in at least nineteen
eighty two, being a wife. Making a good wife isn't
the big compliment you think it is, because a lot
of women of today are aspiring to be your wife. Also,
(16:21):
listening to your man can eat shit. So those are
the those are the things wrong with that, right. I'm
a listener to you, sir. You don't know you don't
know who he's talking to. I won't be listening to
the opposite. Just explain the opposite of me. You explain
the opposite of me. I'm not listening to you, sir,
not after you came at me with females. Okay, No,
(16:43):
And how about this, don't say wife in the first message.
That's a that's you've already scared me off. You could
have said a bunch of other things that still added
wife only in and I'm out. Let's just say hello,
how are you? My name is Steve. We don't need
you'd make a good wife. What's going on? Okay? Also,
like you're dangling that as the big prize to be
(17:06):
your wife? Yeah? No, thank you. Yeah, I don't love that.
I don't love it, but Lacy, surely that's the last.
I just have one more, just one more. Share has
to stop. Just one more, just one more. It's horrible. This,
I think is just so hilarious. And I hated it,
(17:29):
but I loved it. Okay. I talked to a man
and literally two interactions and oh, first of all, we
talked for a while, maybe three four days. We exchanged
numbers again, I exchanged the number. Uh. He texted me.
He said how are you? And I said, oh, I'm fine,
And then he just gave me this long drawn out
thing of what he's looking for in a partner. Ever
(17:51):
before I did respond, he goes, uh, if my wife calls,
you don't answer. Her number is blah blah blah. And
he gave me the number. Oh what, And I said,
you have messaged the wrong woman. If she calls, I'm
saying it all gotten to her phone, got into his fault,
(18:13):
probably snatched it from him as we were chi. I
never got a call from her. I never got a
call and I didn't call the number. Yeah, but she
knew you need a call, like she doesn't even need
to call me, she's reading our text. She's reading it, sir. Wow. Yeah,
at some point this has to do damage to you
(18:37):
as a human being. Get gay again, Amber is he?
Get gay is brought to you by gay everybody, God,
Gay Gay. Okay, you gotta write that song. You gotta
write that song. Okay, I already see it. Get gay
(18:57):
last got down the street so much easier. Which she's here. Okay.
Do we need to go on a second break or
are we okay, Lacy, I we don't need to have
been on these breaks. I have been on you with
these breaks. These all the breaks, brig it up, bring
it up, were good up breaks. I'm fine, no breaks yet, Okay,
(19:19):
all right, then it is time for you know what
it's sister cord. No no, no, no, no, Nonna Dun says
to God. Okay, here we are you ready? Yeah? This
one is sad. It's so sad. I have no one
to kiss on New Year's Eve. My friends and I
(19:41):
are going to Times Square to watch the ball drop
on New Year's Eve. The problem is that they are
going with their partners and I'm newly single. I feel
a little left out about having about not having someone
to kiss on New Year's Do you have any advice
for someone feeling a little bit lonely on New Year's Eve?
Thank you for asking. Now this question is not for you,
(20:02):
it's for me. Don't go with him. Don't go to
no couple's retreat. That's a couple's retreat. You already sad
about it. Ain't even happen yet, and you're already said
you better call your five single friends and hang out
with them. Go to somewhere where it's loud, music is
playing and you're dancing. Don't go there and sing old anxiety,
(20:23):
and then you ain't got nobody the kids you standing there,
or unless you take one of them stuffed boyfriend pillows
like this and be like and then kiss. Don't do that.
Don't do that. Save yourself because you're already mad. You're
already sad about it. Don't do that. Have something at
your house with some ice cream and some champagne. Remember,
go with them. Kiss a stranger. Now I'm not very well,
(20:47):
that's not true. I was kind of wild. But New
Year's some strangers get kissed. That's the fun years. Kiss them.
Find a stranger you've been making eye contact. Everyone gets
a little flirtatious. Look, then you find a stranger and
you kiss them. That's part I don't know. If you
watch that show that New Year's Ball Drop, there ain't
(21:08):
nobody around you. It ain't boot up. That is for
boot up people that want to kiss on TV, that
want to kiss. In Times Square New Year's Eve Balldrop,
New York is all about kissing. Okay, Amber, and you
watch it this year. It's all about who you kiss. Okay.
Anderson Cooper will be there. Oh, he'll give you a
big kiss. Okay, never mind, I tell him he's so cute. Okay,
(21:31):
I changed my mind. It's Camber. Okay, So go up
to him and say that Amber Ruffins said that you
could kiss him and then he'll kiss you. That's right.
You gotta get kiss whose Amber Ruffin? And he won't
say get off of this platform? He will see. Also,
climb up, punch out the security first there, same as
Lenny and Steve. Punch them both out, then climb up
(21:54):
to where he's at and then kiss him. It's pretty easy.
It's gonna be fun, Okay, Amber. Would you like to
read this next week? No, I'll read it my girlfriend
and I want to go to different New Year's Eve parties.
This one makes me mad. Oh, we've been dating for
a few months and our different friend groups are having
separate parties. They are in two different cities, so stopping
(22:17):
by both is going to be pretty difficult. We haven't
spent much time with each other's friends, so I feel
like it might be awkward for me hanging out with
her friends and for her hanging out with mine. If
it was any other day, I wouldn't mind going to
separate parties. But it's our first New Year's Eve. What
do you think we should do? You don't want your
girlfriend there. This is to the person that wrote it. Yeah,
(22:40):
we haven't hung out with each other's friends. You don't
want her there, And I guarantee you she already feel
in some type of way that you didn't invite her,
because guess what, she will go anywhere with you, and
you should also feel the same to go anywhere with her.
You don't want it there, Damn, this is not hard.
You're just not that into her. If you are into someone,
you are going to be like, Oh my god, come
to me with this party. I want to show you off.
I want to introduce your You don't want her there,
(23:02):
go ahead, they might because she you don't want us
to go to her friend's party. I think they both
want each other at each other's parties. They both want
each other at their parties. Then work it out. Okay,
work it out, Marcus. I feel like they're just Marcus
is just having a tough time working. Marcus didn't ask
(23:23):
her to go. Marcus isn't like, you know, I asked
her to go. Ain't nobody. You haven't even come to that.
You don't want her there? No, it did it. They
talked about it, and they decided they both want he's
talking to us, Marcus, stop looking at us and talk
to Sarah. She wants to go with you, Narcy. This
is a big couple holiday. It is. It is like
(23:43):
everybody wants to kiss at midnight. You don't want to
kiss her? Yeah you want to kiss her? Yeah? Okay,
what are we doing? Yeah? What do you feel? Okay?
Thank you? Marcus. You better work this out. You better
call her up right now and say this year, can
you come with me? And then next year we you know,
you better work something now. You'll better be together. That's
(24:05):
all I know. You'll better be together on New Year's
because she's gonna be around, so Sarah. Sarah is fine
as hell. You think Sarah walk up to Sarah during
that party and ask for a kiss, Marcus, don't fuck
this up, man, don't go don't go hang with your friends.
If I at that party and I see Sarah, I'm
asking her for a kids, right, right, Sarah? What's saying
as hell? Marcus? Are you not inviting Sarah because Tiffany's there?
(24:31):
You better work, you better find out what you want.
I'm so man, Okay, sorry, go on in bra Yeah,
I don't know. This is a different relationship. If you
don't ask her to go to the party. If she doesn't,
now you need to be worried. If she didn't ask
you to go to the party, that's right, let's worry
about Sarah. What dirt? Is she doing? Fine as she is, Sarah, fine,
(24:54):
never see the girl friend Sarah walked pass me. Oh
my god, they're a damn Marcus. You don't know what
you you don't know what you hold up? Sarah? God, girl,
(25:16):
you're fine? Yeah, okay, all right by Sarah fine as hell. Okay,
But anyway, I've said what I said. I mean, yeah,
I kind of feel like you guys should work it out.
But I feel like this. Though you haven't met each
other's friends and you haven't gone to a party together,
you know, you haven't been in this social situation where
(25:37):
it's me and my friends and an outside element. M
How many of those people have you dated? They all
know your business and ship. I feel like this, And
it's a holiday, it's a lot of stuff. At one time,
something's gonna get sucked up. You don't mess up, say
the wrong thing. She's gonna catch you looking at Tiffany.
(25:57):
You can't stand Tiffany. But for those reasons, Sarah needs
to be there, because Tiffany's like, this is my chance, Marcus.
What I say, Marcus bringing Sarah? M M. She will
make her move. Sarah. So we think you're we think
you're in danger. Sorry, you're in danger. You're in danger girl.
(26:22):
If he does not make that move to invite you,
there's a reason. Yeah, but not meeting my friend group
is not a reason. That's weird. Do you want you
eventually want her to meet your friends? If not, something
something's going on. Okay, I'm done with that. Wash my
hands of Marcus. Sarah and Tiffany triangle. Okay, Yeah. The
next one is should I ask a girl I've been
(26:43):
dating recently to do something on New Year's Eve. We've
seen each other a couple of times a week for
the last month, and I really like her. I'm not
doing anything on New Year's Eve and was wondering if
I would, if it would be too early to ask
her out on such a big holiday. What do you think, Marcus,
you say what Tony is doing. Tony is second the
(27:05):
mission because he likes her and it's only been a
damn mone Marcus. I swear to God, Marcus, Tony, you
go ahead and ask her. She's waiting for you. That's
it's perfect. It's not like you guys are getting married.
It's New Year's Eve. It is very romantic. I hope
she says yes. I hope she does. Well. You see this, Mark,
I'm so mad at Marcus. Marcus. You see this. You
(27:26):
see what Tony doing. This was perfect. This was a
perfect scenario. That's right. Mmmmmmmmmm right? Everyone, Okay, we're all
except Marcus. Everyone else was doing great. Marcus. Yeah, that's
a mess up. But yes, definitely, you gotta ask her out.
(27:48):
I think that's really cute. And you guys are in
love and you'll be in the forever. I love it.
I love it, I love it. Okay, I know Break
you're talking to me. I'm like, y'all haven't moved yet.
You've been seeing each other for a month. Hey, everyone,
we'll be back with more of the Amber and Lacy,
Lacy and Abershow right after this, Hey, you were back
(28:19):
with more of the Amber and Lacy, Lacy and Avershow
have you ever noticed that? He thought it was twenty
twenty four, but things have changed and now it's twenty
twenty five. Oh, isn't that wacky? I'm sorry, I just
don't like that this year has has started, and I'm
scared of it, not all of the things that might happen.
(28:43):
What were your favorite twenty twenty four moments? Thank you
for asking, many many moments. You know what was not crazy?
I mean was so crazy? Was that Doughchi performance. Did
you see it? No? I know you didn't because I
barely saw it. It's she is a rapper and she
(29:06):
just did a song. It was kind of like a
medley of her songs on Colbert and it was so
fucking good. Lacy, you got it. My my daughter just
played me twenty Doci songs in a row and was like,
listen to this. I love this person. I love her
so funny. I've been DOCI. What she did with the
(29:28):
segment was so beautiful. Okay, I'm gonna watch about it.
I'm gonna I'm gonna go with you right after this.
You gotta go google it. What's your favorite thing? One
of my favorite twenty twenty four things was when uh
Kamala gave us two minutes of hope. That felt great.
(29:51):
Those two minutes of hope felt really good. I I
was I was sure. I don't know why I was sure.
I mean, I was like, I was like eighty five
percent sure. I was one thousand percent sure. I was walking.
I was in Nebraska at the time, So that's why
you went around this mess, uh, because I had Trump
(30:12):
people driving around with the Trump flags. But I still
was like, we're gonna make it, and I felt still
good inside. Yeah. I had a friend that went to
the Democratic Convention. She was like, yeah, she showed use videos.
Everybody was like woo. So those two minutes ago nothing
felt better. Yeah, And it was like walking. It's like
slipping on a banana puel. It's like Lucy and the
(30:36):
Football and the Running Man. If someone threw a banana
pill at me and pell that's what happened. Yeah. My
other great moment was twenty twenty four. I turned fifty
ooh and had a great birthday party and my daughter goes, mom,
I got you a gift, and she came around the corner.
Now this is small to some, but it's huge to
(30:58):
me with the elder Barge cutout. She was like, elder
Barge is at your party? And I was like, yep, yes,
that was pretty cool. It's great those pretty life size
cut out of ilde barge. That's right. Yeah, had a
great time, had a great time. I see you did
a good job. A yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Goodbye twenty
(31:19):
twenty four. It's so hard do you say goodbye? Okay?
What are do you have? Like what's like your favorite
New Year's Eve place? Like? Do you have like a
(31:40):
favorite New Year's Eve party moment? Like do you have
something that you always want to do? What's your favorite
place to spend time in New Year's Eve? Like one
New Year's Eve? I feel like most of my party
New Year's Eves have been I guess that can't be true,
but most of all, most of my party ones have
been spent at Boom Chicago in Amsterdam. That's a theater
(32:03):
in Amsterdam, and Boom Chicago would always have a party.
I used to work at. This theater was like Second
City blah blah blah, and the party was the most fun.
And in Amsterdam on New Year's fireworks are legal. Oh
I don't think so anymore. But we would go to
the roof of the building and the building was like
(32:24):
in downtown, in the middle of it, and for like
twelve minutes at midnight, for three hundred and sixty degrees
around you, the whole sky was lit up with fireworks
from just regular people and it looked like daytime, that
is how many fireworks there were. And when you walk
through the streets the next day, they were covered in
(32:46):
like that pink paper that fireworks like the explosive parts
are in. And that was the sick those Each of
those kind of blend together for a lot of reasons,
but they it was the consistently the best fucking party
I've ever been to. So much fun, so much fun.
(33:07):
Boom Chicago New Year. Ain't no New Year like a
Boom Chicago New Year. That was great. Those were the days.
Is it like, are you working or are you just
getting together with the boom Chicago people? Like, was this
after a show or was it just like everybody comes
to the theater show, let's do your show, and you
perform the show. Then everyone moves all of the tables
(33:28):
and chairs out of the way, which is pretty fucking hard,
so we kind of have to kick everyone out for
a while, and then the whole theater and the whole
front bar fills up with people. Then a select few
of us get to upstairs in the building and hang
out on the roof and party down and it's so cool.
(33:49):
It's just it's the neatest, coolest little noodle. I love it. Okay,
what was I gonna ask you? I'm how beautiful I am?
How'd I get like this? I can't bring Oh, I
just want to be hanging around with all of my
(34:10):
friends and listen to some smooth jazz or listen to
like Chad Stoner Angalie. These are all Omaha Nebraska celebrities
that are like the best singers in the world, Angelia
and Timeless. Look them up. If you don't know who
they are, they're amazing. If they're doing anything. I will
go to one of their concerts, and I've been to
(34:31):
their little concerts before any type of Omaha, New Year's
Eve thin, because you know, I just want to put
on a cute dress with my friends and look cute
and have my half sip of whatever alcohol there is
before I fall down. I cannot drink. I think it's
getting worse. I really truly think it's getting worse. I
got this from Dad. I don't need to drink and
(34:53):
my water. Yeah for losers, I go out there. We'll
take all of her drinks. I can do. I cannot.
I've become a white wait heavyweight. Do you have a
no one has it? Do you have a New Year's
Eve drink that you love so much? Well, you're like
a session on New Year's so that I can go
all night? Oh my god, I mean, what do you
(35:15):
mean you can go all night when vodka's not gonna
kill you? That's right, Tequila you can only have like
four margerita is at the most nonfore maitas. I'm gonna
have a good time, but I really can't drink more
than that. But vodka, shit, I can have eight hundred
(35:36):
fives and be fine. I can have eight hundred vodkas
and fly a plane. And I don't even know how
to fly a plane. So vodka will be the knowledge
that is. You know, that's my go to drink. When
I am out with my friends, I'll get my vodka Cranberry.
And I don't ever feel like I'm Can I drink
wine in public? Absolutely not. Amber knows it takes. All
(35:57):
I need is three SIPs of wine. I always pour
too much, and then what do I do? Amber, I
covered with a napkin. You were making fun of me
the water, and I just sit it somewhere and I
might go back to it, but I can't. She's forgotten.
You're right. Then if anyone moves and I get mad,
I do get mad. Where's my wine? It's gone? They've
poured it down the sink. It's gone three hours. I
(36:18):
poured it out. Whatever, But I do. I love my
little vodka Cranberry, and I realize I have I can
sip on that and still be fine. I've never well.
Amber ruined it for me. But I used to be
able to say I've never been drunk in my life.
But Amber and I went on vacation. Remember when I
had like three drinks in an hour. Now to some people,
they're like, what I did this, I'm doing this now.
(36:40):
I had I think two to three drinks, lost my mind.
It might have just been two. Yeah, I can't remember
she's ever drink. But if you go on my Instagram,
hole down on a beach and you'll see one of
those videos where she is fucking shit face and I'm
(37:00):
worse than she is. I think that was just off
of two drinks. It was off of two little old cosmos. Yeah,
knock me. There's no reason for me to be doing that.
It's no reason. There's no reason for me to be
drinking a little Okay, what else? Oh, this is what
(37:23):
I was gonna say. What So I've always wanted to
go see the ball drop and all of this, and
Amber was hosting a show and I got to go
to New York but it was drink COVID, so it
was completely empty. It was like a horror movie, like
(37:43):
the Aliens had come and the or like it was
like the apocalypse and there was no one left in
New York City. So Times Square was completely empty people
and it all blocked off and we got to like
walk through Times Square. It was empty. And then she
got to go up and they hosted the show like
this building thing, but they didn't really have the trip.
But that was my first New Year's Eve, New York
(38:05):
New Year's Eve, but it wasn't like a normal one
where you're wild and wall people and guess what, I
loved it. I don't want people touching me. That was
five years Eve with me and Carson Daily. Yeah, Twitch
also hosted RIP and we had Uh it was this
odd It's really odd. Yeah, it's really odd happening. It's
(38:29):
funny that you remember it like that. I remember it
as regular with plenty of people. No, no, no, no,
it wasn't like that at all. It was pretty empty. Yeah.
I was just so happy we were indoors because this
year I work at CNN as well as NBC, and
we're going to First of all, NBC is going to
(38:50):
have a day drinking special Seth, So then it'll just
be a lot of the best parts of day drinking
and then Seth and I do a bit in it.
I think I'm not sure if that goes across every
part of the country or not. Okay, Also, in the
(39:13):
in the earlier hours of New Year's I'm going to
go to CNN's thing in Times Square. Kiss me, don't
do that. Don't do that. I'll go and then I'll
make you no, no, no, never mind, never mind, no
no mind. But our nieces are going to be with me,
(39:33):
Kenna and Connie. That's true. I don't know. I'm gonna
stay till midnight or if we'll come out here and
then look at these little fireworks. Man, wherever you go,
you go and see good firework. You can see good
fireworks from where you're at. Yeah, No, matter where you're at,
you're going to see great fireworks. It's not no. I
feel like you should stay in the city. That's the
(39:54):
chance of a lifetime that they'll never get. I know,
I should try. You should try. Oh that sounds like fun.
My roadcaster really wants to stop recording. He's saying he's
gonna be too full in a minute. Do you think
we should stop the podcast or do you have one
more New Year's wish? I am going to say, I
(40:16):
don't know how you can remember or can't remember how
empty that was, because I have a picture standing in
front of the tree out there. I don't know where
we were walking. We're standing in front of something and
it was you and me and it's just like completely empty,
that's all you're saying. Well, I do remember there's nobody
(40:36):
there the business at security, and I was they were bitch.
First of all, we always get the business. No matter
what we're doing, we always get in trouble or yeah,
treated poorly. No one never wants to let us in,
