1
00:00:13,081 --> 00:00:15,481
Hello!

2
00:00:15,481 --> 00:00:17,251
(Applause)

3
00:00:17,821 --> 00:00:20,706
Reno, Nevada,

4
00:00:21,226 --> 00:00:22,456
the biggest little city,

5
00:00:22,456 --> 00:00:23,616
look at us!

6
00:00:24,806 --> 00:00:27,797
Oh, I am so excited
to be here, you guys.

7
00:00:27,797 --> 00:00:30,880
Listen, when they first
asked me to do this,

8
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,343
they were like, "Hey,
would you like to do a TEDx Talk?"

9
00:00:34,343 --> 00:00:37,380
And I was like, "Me?!

10
00:00:37,380 --> 00:00:41,482
Yes, I would love to talk
about something important

11
00:00:41,482 --> 00:00:45,598
and think about an idea worth sharing."

12
00:00:46,598 --> 00:00:49,332
And they're like, "No, no, no.
Just say your jokes."

13
00:00:49,332 --> 00:00:52,142
(Laughter)

14
00:00:52,142 --> 00:00:54,014
Oh, cool, cool cool! Yeah, yeah, yeah!

15
00:00:54,014 --> 00:00:55,414
I'll do that. I'll do that.

16
00:00:56,257 --> 00:00:59,417
Let me just share
some jokes with you today.

17
00:01:00,895 --> 00:01:04,465
I've been doing stand-up comedy
for almost 12 years now.

18
00:01:04,465 --> 00:01:07,801
And when I first started,
I was young and fresh.

19
00:01:08,451 --> 00:01:09,978
Now I'm getting older.

20
00:01:10,258 --> 00:01:12,039
I mean, I know, I still look young.

21
00:01:12,039 --> 00:01:13,098
Thank you so much!

22
00:01:13,098 --> 00:01:14,619
(Laughter)

23
00:01:15,209 --> 00:01:16,772
But I'm getting older, you guys.

24
00:01:16,772 --> 00:01:20,842
And this is how you know
you're getting older:

25
00:01:21,363 --> 00:01:23,551
when you hurt your back

26
00:01:23,811 --> 00:01:25,745
but you don't know how.

27
00:01:25,745 --> 00:01:28,185
(Laughter)

28
00:01:30,140 --> 00:01:33,958
Like, I don't even have
a cool story to tell you guys.

29
00:01:33,958 --> 00:01:34,955
(Laughter)

30
00:01:43,936 --> 00:01:45,596
(Laughter)

31
00:01:34,955 --> 00:01:40,155
Like, I can't be like, "Oh yeah, 
last week I was skiing, and ...

32
00:01:40,155 --> 00:01:41,486
(Laughter)

33
00:01:42,056 --> 00:01:43,936
you know how I do this.

34
00:01:45,596 --> 00:01:47,006
I went hard."

35
00:01:47,006 --> 00:01:48,406
(Laughter)

36
00:01:48,406 --> 00:01:50,266
No, I was putting my socks on.

37
00:01:50,266 --> 00:01:52,026
(Laughter)

38
00:01:55,069 --> 00:01:56,460
Yeah, I went hard.

39
00:01:56,460 --> 00:01:58,437
(Laughter)

40
00:01:58,437 --> 00:01:59,497
Getting older -

41
00:01:59,497 --> 00:02:02,729
Have you ever been walking down the street
minding your own business,

42
00:02:02,729 --> 00:02:04,912
and all of a sudden,
your knee is like, "Hey!"

43
00:02:04,912 --> 00:02:06,542
(Laughter)

44
00:02:07,522 --> 00:02:09,182
And you're like, "What happened?"

45
00:02:09,182 --> 00:02:10,072
(Laughter)

46
00:02:10,532 --> 00:02:12,284
We know how to do this!"

47
00:02:12,284 --> 00:02:13,442
(Laughter)

48
00:02:15,549 --> 00:02:18,779
I hurt my back,
so I went to get a massage.

49
00:02:18,779 --> 00:02:22,818
And this next part of my story
you're probably not even going to believe.

50
00:02:22,818 --> 00:02:25,817
You're going to be like,
"Oh, she just made that up for a joke."

51
00:02:25,817 --> 00:02:27,631
Promise you, no, I didn't.

52
00:02:27,631 --> 00:02:28,871
(Laughter)

53
00:02:29,066 --> 00:02:30,573
Went to get a massage,

54
00:02:30,573 --> 00:02:34,593
and the guy who was giving me
my massage fell asleep.

55
00:02:34,593 --> 00:02:36,623
(Laughter)

56
00:02:39,763 --> 00:02:41,473
I know.

57
00:02:41,473 --> 00:02:44,161
I know you're probably thinking
to yourselves right now,

58
00:02:44,161 --> 00:02:46,081
"How is that even possible?"

59
00:02:46,086 --> 00:02:47,026
(Laughter)

60
00:02:47,026 --> 00:02:49,067
I didn't know it was an option either.

61
00:02:49,067 --> 00:02:50,357
(Laughter)

62
00:02:54,826 --> 00:02:56,756
(Laughter)

63
00:02:50,964 --> 00:02:54,826
Apparently, I'm really good
at reverse relaxation.

64
00:02:57,356 --> 00:02:58,750
But I should have known,

65
00:02:58,750 --> 00:03:00,846
I should have known
it was going to be weird

66
00:03:00,846 --> 00:03:03,542
because it started off weird.

67
00:03:03,804 --> 00:03:07,831
He started by asking me
these seance type questions.

68
00:03:08,399 --> 00:03:12,228
He was like, "Okay, close your eyes,
take a deep breath.

69
00:03:12,228 --> 00:03:15,568
Now tell me, Where are you?"

70
00:03:15,568 --> 00:03:16,638
(Laughter)

71
00:03:16,638 --> 00:03:18,477
(Breathes in)

72
00:03:18,477 --> 00:03:20,175
"Massage Envy."

73
00:03:20,175 --> 00:03:22,221
(Laughter)

74
00:03:41,735 --> 00:03:42,598
(Laughter)

75
00:03:27,821 --> 00:03:31,371
"Now tell me, What are you?"

76
00:03:35,929 --> 00:03:37,259
"A girl?

77
00:03:37,259 --> 00:03:38,939
(Laughter)

78
00:03:39,505 --> 00:03:41,735
Um, I don't like this part
of the massage."

79
00:03:42,598 --> 00:03:44,774
So he starts by rubbing my feet, right?

80
00:03:44,774 --> 00:03:47,678
We're fifteen minutes into the massage,
he's rubbing my feet.

81
00:03:47,678 --> 00:03:50,208
All of a sudden,
he starts to slow down.

82
00:03:52,290 --> 00:03:53,590
(Laughter)

83
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,135
Next thing you know, he just stopped.

84
00:03:59,355 --> 00:04:00,467
(Laughter)

85
00:04:00,827 --> 00:04:03,240
Now, he's just holding my foot.

86
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,060
(Laughter)

87
00:04:09,770 --> 00:04:12,698
At first, I thought he was doing
his seance thing again.

88
00:04:12,698 --> 00:04:13,564
(Laughter)

89
00:04:13,564 --> 00:04:16,044
I was like, "Oh, Okay!

90
00:04:16,044 --> 00:04:16,924
(Laughter)

91
00:04:16,924 --> 00:04:20,724
He is probably meditating
the pain out my foot."

92
00:04:20,724 --> 00:04:22,174
(Laughter)

93
00:04:23,051 --> 00:04:26,714
But then I could hear his breathing
get real deep and slow, like this.

94
00:04:27,734 --> 00:04:33,614
(Breathes heavily)

95
00:04:34,771 --> 00:04:36,025
And then he did this.

96
00:04:38,997 --> 00:04:40,909
(Laughter)

97
00:04:46,350 --> 00:04:47,882
(Laughter)

98
00:04:47,882 --> 00:04:50,446
and then continued the massage.

99
00:04:50,446 --> 00:04:51,385
(Laughter)

100
00:04:44,020 --> 00:04:46,350
He startled himself awake

101
00:04:51,385 --> 00:04:54,046
Listen, if you've never
gotten a massage before,

102
00:04:54,046 --> 00:04:56,315
you don't fully understand.

103
00:04:56,775 --> 00:04:59,848
It's a vulnerable situation,

104
00:05:00,759 --> 00:05:01,544
okay?

105
00:05:01,544 --> 00:05:02,877
Because you're lying there,

106
00:05:02,877 --> 00:05:03,917
naked,

107
00:05:03,917 --> 00:05:05,037
(Laughter)

108
00:05:05,037 --> 00:05:07,387
with a little tiny sheet on.

109
00:05:07,817 --> 00:05:10,063
There's a stranger touching you.

110
00:05:10,951 --> 00:05:14,677
Anytime you're naked
with a stranger, that's awkward.

111
00:05:14,677 --> 00:05:16,567
(Laughter)

112
00:05:17,649 --> 00:05:19,634
Unless you're the creepy guy at the gym.

113
00:05:19,634 --> 00:05:21,824
(Laughter)

114
00:05:23,404 --> 00:05:25,404
(Laughter)

115
00:05:21,824 --> 00:05:23,404
He's okay with it.

116
00:05:28,693 --> 00:05:32,244
It's a vulnerable situation,
getting a massage.

117
00:05:32,244 --> 00:05:33,669
How about this one?

118
00:05:33,669 --> 00:05:34,940
What do you do

119
00:05:34,940 --> 00:05:38,047
if your massage therapist
has a bad breath?

120
00:05:39,570 --> 00:05:40,880
Oh, it happens.

121
00:05:41,718 --> 00:05:42,703
Oh yeah,

122
00:05:42,703 --> 00:05:45,543
you're lying there trying to relax.

123
00:05:45,543 --> 00:05:48,043
His face is over your face.

124
00:05:48,043 --> 00:05:50,543
You can smell his bad breath.

125
00:05:51,236 --> 00:05:53,365
So you start breathing through your mouth.

126
00:05:53,365 --> 00:05:55,105
(Laughter)

127
00:05:55,105 --> 00:05:56,692
(Breaths heavily)

128
00:05:56,692 --> 00:05:57,969
(Laughter)

129
00:05:57,969 --> 00:05:59,619
(Breaths heavily)

130
00:06:00,139 --> 00:06:03,026
But then you don't want
his bad breath in your mouth.

131
00:06:03,026 --> 00:06:04,876
(Laughter)

132
00:06:04,876 --> 00:06:08,290
So now you got to calculate
your breathing with his breathing.

133
00:06:11,643 --> 00:06:14,467
(Laughter)

134
00:06:17,024 --> 00:06:20,932
Like, I know I requested
the aromatherapy massage,

135
00:06:20,932 --> 00:06:22,712
(Laughter)

136
00:06:23,325 --> 00:06:26,369
but I didn't know I had to get specific.

137
00:06:26,369 --> 00:06:27,799
(Laughter)

138
00:06:28,359 --> 00:06:31,089
And there's different kinds
of bad breath,

139
00:06:31,742 --> 00:06:33,312
there's different kinds.

140
00:06:33,316 --> 00:06:36,612
Like, you can tell when somebody
just got off their lunch break.

141
00:06:36,962 --> 00:06:41,011
You'd be like, "Ah, man!
He just had onions. That sucks."

142
00:06:41,971 --> 00:06:44,171
But at least it's identifiable.

143
00:06:44,171 --> 00:06:46,171
(Laughter)

144
00:06:47,772 --> 00:06:49,477
Like coffee breath.

145
00:06:49,477 --> 00:06:51,183
That's identifiable.

146
00:06:51,183 --> 00:06:56,341
I can respect coffee breath
because that's a working mans' breath.

147
00:06:56,341 --> 00:06:57,905
(Laughter)

148
00:06:58,979 --> 00:07:04,108
But then, there's the kind of breath 
where they are dying on the inside.

149
00:07:04,108 --> 00:07:06,418
(Laughter)

150
00:07:07,779 --> 00:07:10,431
Gum can not help this kind,

151
00:07:10,431 --> 00:07:11,749
(Laughter)

152
00:07:11,749 --> 00:07:14,119
because if they put gum in the mouth,

153
00:07:14,119 --> 00:07:16,949
the breath is just going
to come out the nose.

154
00:07:16,949 --> 00:07:18,769
(Laughter)

155
00:07:19,605 --> 00:07:21,405
It will find you.

156
00:07:21,405 --> 00:07:22,645
(Laughter)

157
00:07:23,985 --> 00:07:28,282
God forbid you have to speak up
and say something during a massage.

158
00:07:28,712 --> 00:07:30,252
It's so awkward.

159
00:07:30,897 --> 00:07:34,207
Like, maybe they are
massaging you way too hard.

160
00:07:34,458 --> 00:07:36,472
Then you have to speak up and be like,

161
00:07:36,472 --> 00:07:40,187
"Oh, sorry, um,
could you not leave bruises?"

162
00:07:40,187 --> 00:07:42,222
(Laughter)

163
00:07:42,558 --> 00:07:45,398
Or maybe they are massaging you,
like, way too soft,

164
00:07:46,427 --> 00:07:48,649
like they're doing tickle massage.

165
00:07:48,649 --> 00:07:50,039
(Laughter)

166
00:07:50,941 --> 00:07:54,921
And you're like, "Um, well, 
I could have my husband do this at home."

167
00:07:54,921 --> 00:07:57,546
(Laughter)

168
00:08:01,455 --> 00:08:03,585
Now you got to speak up and be like,

169
00:08:03,585 --> 00:08:06,185
"Oh, sorry, um, could you try?"

170
00:08:06,185 --> 00:08:08,899
(Laughter)

171
00:08:16,070 --> 00:08:19,180
Now it's the most awkward for me
because I have to be like,

172
00:08:19,180 --> 00:08:21,974
"Oh, sorry, could you not be asleep?"

173
00:08:21,974 --> 00:08:24,114
(Laughter)

174
00:08:24,728 --> 00:08:26,868
It was the weirdest massage I've ever had.

175
00:08:27,354 --> 00:08:29,359
I didn't even know what to do after that.

176
00:08:29,359 --> 00:08:32,194
I just grabbed my cucumber water,
got the heck out of there.

177
00:08:32,661 --> 00:08:34,597
But my back still hurt,

178
00:08:34,597 --> 00:08:38,721
so I went and I got a free massage
over at Brookstone.

179
00:08:38,721 --> 00:08:41,141
(Laughter)

180
00:08:42,881 --> 00:08:46,670
Don't act like you've never sat
in the massage chair at Brookstone.

181
00:08:46,670 --> 00:08:47,780
(Laughter)

182
00:08:47,780 --> 00:08:50,082
Everybody walks by that store

183
00:08:50,082 --> 00:08:53,271
acting like they've never heard
of a massage chair before.

184
00:08:53,743 --> 00:08:56,983
"Oh, wow!

185
00:08:56,983 --> 00:08:58,204
(Laughter)

186
00:08:58,495 --> 00:08:59,975
It massages?

187
00:08:59,975 --> 00:09:01,125
Oh.

188
00:09:01,125 --> 00:09:02,797
(Laughter)

189
00:09:02,797 --> 00:09:03,717
I can sit?

190
00:09:03,717 --> 00:09:05,867
Oh, sure, I'll try it out.

191
00:09:05,867 --> 00:09:07,227
Sure!

192
00:09:07,723 --> 00:09:09,283
Oh, comfy.

193
00:09:10,775 --> 00:09:12,365
Push the green button?

194
00:09:12,365 --> 00:09:14,070
Okay.

195
00:09:14,576 --> 00:09:19,626
Oh, yep, really good pressure.

196
00:09:19,626 --> 00:09:21,501
(Laughter)

197
00:09:21,922 --> 00:09:23,496
I like it a lot."

198
00:09:25,549 --> 00:09:28,179
But then all of a sudden,
the massage changes

199
00:09:31,166 --> 00:09:33,216
(Laughter)

200
00:09:29,387 --> 00:09:31,166
to the shiatsu shimmy.

201
00:09:33,987 --> 00:09:35,207
Ladies,

202
00:09:36,349 --> 00:09:38,413
you know the shiatsu shimmy.

203
00:09:38,413 --> 00:09:40,403
(Laughter)

204
00:09:41,220 --> 00:09:43,080
At first, you try to fight it.

205
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,272
(Laughter)

206
00:09:51,793 --> 00:09:53,453
I hope nobody's watching.

207
00:09:53,487 --> 00:09:55,407
(Laughter)

208
00:09:57,143 --> 00:09:59,243
But then after a while,
you just embrace it,

209
00:09:59,243 --> 00:10:00,613
you're like, oh well!

210
00:10:00,613 --> 00:10:03,092
(Laughter)

211
00:10:06,255 --> 00:10:09,135
All the guys at Gamestop
across the way start watching.

212
00:10:09,135 --> 00:10:11,547
(Laughter)

213
00:10:11,547 --> 00:10:13,047
Yeah, light them up, boys!

214
00:10:13,047 --> 00:10:14,309
(Laughter)

215
00:10:19,566 --> 00:10:22,563
I'll just stick to my husband's massages.

216
00:10:23,897 --> 00:10:26,769
My husband and I have been married
for seven years, you guys.

217
00:10:26,769 --> 00:10:27,970
Seven years!

218
00:10:27,970 --> 00:10:28,855
Thank you!

219
00:10:28,855 --> 00:10:30,320
( Applause)

220
00:10:30,832 --> 00:10:31,962
Thank you!

221
00:10:32,194 --> 00:10:35,708
And in our house, in our relationship,

222
00:10:35,708 --> 00:10:37,982
our roles are kind of reversed,

223
00:10:38,330 --> 00:10:39,790
and we are okay with that.

224
00:10:40,088 --> 00:10:43,225
Like, whatever works for you
in your relationship,

225
00:10:43,225 --> 00:10:44,258
do that.

226
00:10:44,258 --> 00:10:45,679
Do what works.

227
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,765
For us, our roles
are a little flippy floppy,

228
00:10:48,765 --> 00:10:49,754
you know?

229
00:10:49,754 --> 00:10:51,700
Like, I bring home the bacon.

230
00:10:51,700 --> 00:10:54,591
(Applause)

231
00:10:56,034 --> 00:10:57,866
I am just not allowed to cook it.

232
00:10:57,866 --> 00:10:59,556
(Laughter)

233
00:11:01,644 --> 00:11:04,404
My husband loves to go shopping;

234
00:11:05,074 --> 00:11:08,574
I love to sit outside the store
with the rest of the husbands.

235
00:11:08,574 --> 00:11:10,864
(Laughter)

236
00:11:12,119 --> 00:11:15,364
He is super sexy and fashionable;

237
00:11:15,689 --> 00:11:17,849
lots of people think I am a lesbian.

238
00:11:17,849 --> 00:11:20,339
(Laughter)

239
00:11:20,575 --> 00:11:23,465
Girls will flirt with my husband
right in front of me

240
00:11:23,805 --> 00:11:25,945
because they think
I am his gay little buddy.

241
00:11:25,945 --> 00:11:27,365
(Laughter)

242
00:11:27,365 --> 00:11:30,853
They're like, "Ah, where are you from?"

243
00:11:30,853 --> 00:11:32,803
"Ah, he's from my house."

244
00:11:32,803 --> 00:11:35,123
(Laughter)

245
00:11:35,123 --> 00:11:37,283
(Applause)

246
00:11:40,422 --> 00:11:42,652
My husband has a beautiful afro,

247
00:11:42,970 --> 00:11:45,872
so girls are always like,
"Oh, can I feel your hair?"

248
00:11:45,872 --> 00:11:47,332
"Oh, you could feel my fist.

249
00:11:47,332 --> 00:11:48,904
Hmm, hmm, hmm!"

250
00:11:48,904 --> 00:11:50,442
(Laughter)

251
00:11:50,992 --> 00:11:53,292
Wow, your little buddy's feisty.

252
00:11:53,292 --> 00:11:55,382
(Laughter)

253
00:11:56,851 --> 00:12:00,551
Sometimes when we go places, my husband
likes to pick out my outfit for me

254
00:12:00,921 --> 00:12:04,321
because he wants to make sure
I look like a girl when we get there.

255
00:12:04,321 --> 00:12:05,551
(Laughter)

256
00:12:05,551 --> 00:12:07,621
He'll be like, "Alright babe, let's see.

257
00:12:07,621 --> 00:12:09,173
Put on these jeans right here" -

258
00:12:09,173 --> 00:12:10,726
yep, my favorite -

259
00:12:10,990 --> 00:12:12,270
"this T-shirt" -

260
00:12:12,270 --> 00:12:14,172
I like where this is going -

261
00:12:14,309 --> 00:12:16,090
"and these stilettos" -

262
00:12:16,090 --> 00:12:17,620
aargh, so close.

263
00:12:17,830 --> 00:12:19,760
(Laughter)

264
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,540
And I get it, my husband
wants to see me in heels

265
00:12:22,540 --> 00:12:25,359
because women look sexy in heels -

266
00:12:26,223 --> 00:12:27,613
just not this woman.

267
00:12:27,613 --> 00:12:28,789
(Laughter)

268
00:12:28,789 --> 00:12:29,979
And I will tell you why.

269
00:12:29,979 --> 00:12:33,431
Because I am bowlegged.

270
00:12:37,641 --> 00:12:40,111
See how my knees don't touch?

271
00:12:41,061 --> 00:12:42,702
Trying my hardest.

272
00:12:42,702 --> 00:12:43,958
(Laughter)

273
00:12:45,674 --> 00:12:47,924
Girl right here,
in the front, in the center,

274
00:12:48,288 --> 00:12:52,142
do you see how my feet are closed

275
00:12:52,142 --> 00:12:54,502
but you can still see the stool behind me?

276
00:12:54,502 --> 00:12:56,479
(Laughter)

277
00:13:00,536 --> 00:13:03,636
So that means when I wear heels,

278
00:13:04,236 --> 00:13:05,436
I look like this.

279
00:13:07,457 --> 00:13:09,859
(Laughter)

280
00:13:09,859 --> 00:13:12,269
Look like I rode my horse to the club.

281
00:13:12,269 --> 00:13:14,619
(Laughter)

282
00:13:14,619 --> 00:13:18,697
Aee, aee, aeeaeeaeeaee!

283
00:13:18,697 --> 00:13:20,179
(Laughter)

284
00:13:22,765 --> 00:13:26,561
You guys, if I am wearing heels

285
00:13:26,589 --> 00:13:29,038
and I want to do something daring,

286
00:13:29,273 --> 00:13:31,244
like walk,

287
00:13:31,244 --> 00:13:32,981
(Laughter)

288
00:13:33,199 --> 00:13:36,149
I have to bend my knees a little bit.

289
00:13:38,082 --> 00:13:41,922
(Laughter)

290
00:13:43,644 --> 00:13:44,939
Look like a camel.

291
00:13:44,939 --> 00:13:46,309
(Laughter)

292
00:13:47,224 --> 00:13:50,774
Look like a camel trying
to fold itself to get some rest.

293
00:13:52,632 --> 00:13:55,120
(Laughter)

294
00:13:55,722 --> 00:13:59,135
(Applause)

295
00:14:06,585 --> 00:14:07,545
(Spits)

296
00:14:07,545 --> 00:14:09,955
(Laughter)

297
00:14:14,780 --> 00:14:16,865
That's not sexy at all.

298
00:14:19,430 --> 00:14:23,360
We live in Hollywood,
and it's weird living in Hollywood

299
00:14:23,747 --> 00:14:27,677
because there is always,
like, rumors and gossip.

300
00:14:27,825 --> 00:14:30,479
And there was actually
a rumor going around

301
00:14:30,479 --> 00:14:33,550
that I was dating
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

302
00:14:33,550 --> 00:14:34,809
(Audience) Wooh!

303
00:14:34,809 --> 00:14:36,139
That's what I said.

304
00:14:36,139 --> 00:14:39,129
(Laughter)

305
00:14:39,575 --> 00:14:41,205
I was like, "Wooh, okay!"

306
00:14:41,205 --> 00:14:43,015
(Laughter)

307
00:14:43,228 --> 00:14:44,518
Hey, Mr. Rock.

308
00:14:44,518 --> 00:14:46,218
(Laughter)

309
00:14:46,668 --> 00:14:50,588
I mean, that was me.
I started that one. I did that.

310
00:14:50,588 --> 00:14:52,698
(Laughter)

311
00:14:56,138 --> 00:14:58,678
Didn't quite catch on
like I thought it would.

312
00:14:58,678 --> 00:15:00,038
(Laughter)

313
00:15:00,038 --> 00:15:02,501
I tweeted it out
and only three people replied.

314
00:15:03,131 --> 00:15:04,891
Two people were like, "No way!"

315
00:15:05,251 --> 00:15:07,471
One guy was like, "You wish!"

316
00:15:07,471 --> 00:15:08,531
(Laughter)

317
00:15:08,531 --> 00:15:09,851
It was my husband.

318
00:15:09,851 --> 00:15:11,811
(Laughter)

319
00:15:15,531 --> 00:15:17,806
I got kind of famous on Youtube

320
00:15:17,806 --> 00:15:20,436
for this joke about
going to get my nails done.

321
00:15:20,436 --> 00:15:23,514
(Applause)

322
00:15:25,908 --> 00:15:27,258
So you've heard it.

323
00:15:27,258 --> 00:15:29,628
(Laughter)

324
00:15:29,935 --> 00:15:32,565
This is the joke that put me on the map.

325
00:15:33,220 --> 00:15:36,320
People know of me because of this joke.

326
00:15:36,635 --> 00:15:40,045
People come to my shows
just for this joke.

327
00:15:41,197 --> 00:15:44,096
And it is a blessing; it really is.

328
00:15:44,530 --> 00:15:48,270
Because not every comedian
gets to say that they have that,

329
00:15:48,626 --> 00:15:52,220
that they have something 
that has resonated with so many people,

330
00:15:52,421 --> 00:15:55,261
and that these people
will then pay their hard earned money

331
00:15:55,261 --> 00:15:57,679
to come and see you perform live.

332
00:15:58,063 --> 00:16:01,030
So I just want to say
that I am so grateful

333
00:16:01,163 --> 00:16:04,113
that I get to make
people laugh for a living.

334
00:16:04,573 --> 00:16:08,295
Because laughter is medicine,
and I get to be a part of the medicine.

335
00:16:08,483 --> 00:16:10,053
I am so grateful for that.

336
00:16:10,063 --> 00:16:13,839
So as long as this joke continues
to bring people joy,

337
00:16:13,839 --> 00:16:15,629
then I will continue to do it.

338
00:16:15,629 --> 00:16:18,919
(Applause)

339
00:16:20,743 --> 00:16:22,678
So with that being said,

340
00:16:22,678 --> 00:16:25,387
I will do the joke for you.

341
00:16:25,387 --> 00:16:28,067
(Applause)

342
00:16:29,116 --> 00:16:31,176
Any ladies in here get your nails done?

343
00:16:31,176 --> 00:16:32,746
(Audience) Whoo!

344
00:16:33,866 --> 00:16:37,337
I go with my sister to this place
that's called Beautiful Nail.

345
00:16:39,671 --> 00:16:40,836
Just one.

346
00:16:41,126 --> 00:16:42,496
(Laughter)

347
00:16:42,496 --> 00:16:44,428
Nail is beautiful.

348
00:16:45,081 --> 00:16:45,926
It's okay though

349
00:16:45,926 --> 00:16:47,531
because these ladies are so nice.

350
00:16:47,531 --> 00:16:50,008
They make you feel
like it's all about you,

351
00:16:50,008 --> 00:16:51,669
and customer service, you know,

352
00:16:51,669 --> 00:16:53,835
"Whatever you like we do for you."

353
00:16:53,835 --> 00:16:55,744
(Laughter)

354
00:16:55,877 --> 00:16:59,089
"We do full set, only 16 dollar."

355
00:16:59,101 --> 00:17:01,051
(Laughter)

356
00:17:01,051 --> 00:17:03,801
As soon as I walk in,
they greet me right away,

357
00:17:03,801 --> 00:17:05,901
"Hi, honey, what you need today?

358
00:17:05,901 --> 00:17:07,037
(Laughter)

359
00:17:07,173 --> 00:17:09,443
You want to whack your eyebrow?"

360
00:17:10,789 --> 00:17:12,509
Ah, no! No, thank you!

361
00:17:13,006 --> 00:17:14,326
"Honey, you need to whack."

362
00:17:14,326 --> 00:17:16,824
(Laughter)

363
00:17:17,892 --> 00:17:21,412
"Can I get a manicure, please?"
"OK, honey, you like to pedicure too?"

364
00:17:21,727 --> 00:17:24,197
"Ah no, just the manicure, thanks!"

365
00:17:24,197 --> 00:17:27,710
"Honey, why you don't like?

366
00:17:27,710 --> 00:17:29,520
(Laughter)

367

00:17:46,485 --> 00:17:47,744
(Laughter)

375
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,921
So, Mỹ Linh starts

00:17:49,921 --> 00:17:51,659

377
00:17:55,190 --> 00:17:57,097
"You have boyfriend?"

00:17:57,414 --> 00:17:58,980
"No, no, I don't have a boy-"

379
00:17:58,980 --> 00:18:01,310
"Honey, why don't you have?

380
00:18:01,986 --> 00:18:03,141
I think, you know,

381
00:18:03,141 --> 00:18:05,018
the first time you walked in here,

382
00:18:05,018 --> 00:18:07,201
you looked like model,

383
00:18:07,384 --> 00:18:09,601
cheerleader,

384
00:18:09,906 --> 00:18:11,919
something pretty.

385
00:18:12,178 --> 00:18:13,948
You like long or short nail?"

386
00:18:13,948 --> 00:18:15,608
"Ah, short nails, please. Thanks!"

387
00:18:15,608 --> 00:18:17,898
"Oh, honey, that's why
you don't have boyfriend.

388
00:18:17,898 --> 00:18:20,258
(Laughter)

389
00:18:20,258 --> 00:18:21,672

00:18:22,931 --> 00:18:25,133
Only four dollar more. That's okay.

392
00:18:25,133 --> 00:18:27,623
(Laughter)

393
00:18:27,966 --> 00:18:30,186
Do you like with no gel?"

394
00:18:32,140 --> 00:18:32,991
"What?"

395
00:18:32,991 --> 00:18:35,380
(Laughter)

396
00:18:36,005 --> 00:18:38,825
"Do you like with no gel?"

397
00:18:40,844 --> 00:18:43,564
(Laughter)

398
00:18:47,903 --> 00:18:51,543
(Laughter)

399
00:18:54,712 --> 00:18:56,440
"I am sorry.

400
00:18:57,332 --> 00:18:58,317
What?"

401
00:18:58,317 --> 00:18:59,317
(Laughter)

402
00:18:59,317 --> 00:19:02,658
"Honey, I say, 'Do you like
with no gel for your nail?'

403
00:19:02,658 --> 00:19:04,904
It's the best thing
you can have for your nail.

404
00:19:04,904 --> 00:19:07,005
You sparkle like diamond in the sky.

405
00:19:07,005 --> 00:19:08,925
Do you like with no gel?"

406
00:19:08,925 --> 00:19:10,426
(Laughter)

407
00:19:12,788 --> 00:19:13,968
"Oh that!

408
00:19:13,968 --> 00:19:16,302
(Laughter)

409
00:19:16,302 --> 00:19:17,296
Sure!

410
00:19:17,861 --> 00:19:21,246
I'll have the, ah, 'crico?'

411
00:19:21,246 --> 00:19:22,406
(Laughter)

412
00:19:22,406 --> 00:19:23,644
The crunchy stuff.

413
00:19:23,644 --> 00:19:24,514
(Laughter)

414
00:19:24,514 --> 00:19:25,514
Thanks!"

415
00:19:25,514 --> 00:19:28,074
"It's okay, honey, don't worry.
It's better for you.

416
00:19:28,439 --> 00:19:30,859
Only six dollar more. That's okay.

417
00:19:30,859 --> 00:19:32,185
(Laughter)

418
00:19:32,185 --> 00:19:35,225
It's better honey, better for me."

419
00:19:35,225 --> 00:19:37,325
(Laughter)

420
00:19:37,325 --> 00:19:39,494
"Okay honey, I'll finish.
Go wash your hands."

421
00:19:39,494 --> 00:19:40,984
"Alright, thanks, Tammy.

422
00:19:40,984 --> 00:19:43,532
Oh, ah, wait a minute.

423
00:19:44,212 --> 00:19:46,032
Hold on, this one's a little crooked.

424
00:19:46,743 --> 00:19:47,973
See that?"

425
00:19:53,227 --> 00:19:54,622
"No honey, that your finger.

426
00:19:54,622 --> 00:19:55,932
Do like that."

427
00:19:55,932 --> 00:19:57,926
(Laughter)

428
00:19:59,249 --> 00:20:00,509
"Really?!

429
00:20:01,181 --> 00:20:03,464
It's funny because my finger
didn't do like that

430
00:20:03,464 --> 00:20:05,368
before I came in here."

431
00:20:05,958 --> 00:20:09,408
"It's okay honey, don't worry.
I'll fix it for you, don't worry."

432
00:20:09,664 --> 00:20:12,100
(Imitates talking in Vietnamese)

433
00:20:12,100 --> 00:20:13,924
(Laughter)

434
00:20:21,959 --> 00:20:25,089
(Laughter)

435
00:20:30,208 --> 00:20:31,981
(Stops talking Vietnamese)

436
00:20:31,981 --> 00:20:33,891
"Oh, see? You look so pretty!"

437
00:20:34,271 --> 00:20:36,323
God bless, you guys. I'm Anjelah Johnson.

438
00:20:36,323 --> 00:20:37,408
