- I love going home because it's like
I get to introduce my cousins to new things.
I brought "Taboo" home, right?
I wanted to create memories.
You are like, "Oh no."
Yeah, it was a bad idea.
That's what it was. (audience laughing)
It was, it was a...
I realized very quickly that "Taboo" does not translate.
It does...
It does not go over the border very well.
Because here's,
like y'all, it was so frustrating,
'cause I'm playing with them
and the words that they are guessing is,
it was just not accurate for,
for the words that were on those cards.
(audience laughing)
'Cause I'm like, "Okay,
it's something you eat for breakfast."
Here they go, "Yam, cassava!
Plantain, goat meat."
(audience laughing)
What kinda starch-heavy diet are y'all on?
It's eggs.
(audience laughing)
This is when I was like, "Nah, I gotta give this game up."
I was like, "Okay,
it's something our parents don't want us to be."
"Prostitute!
Unmarried, happy!"
What?
You might need therapy.
Let's just, let's put this game
and let's unpack some of these issues.
(audience laughing)
But as much as I can't play with my cousins back home,
I realized I can't play with my hood friends either.
Just...
She's like, "Ai, you're right about that one."
(audience laughing) I am.
No, because here's the thing,
when you play with folks from the hood,
it just be all off, okay?
The way y'all guess these words,
it's like y'all had a pregame
that I didn't know about, okay?
My two degrees be fighting with your logic.
(audience laughing)
And then when you get a card,
what is this nonsense?
Ahh! (audience laughing)
Ahh!
For a card game?
All of that for a card game?
Copy copy.
'Cause I went to a house party in Brooklyn.
The word was "thirsty".
Here goes this fool.
And I'm on their team!
He was like, "Ahh, money, money, money!
(audience laughing)
Nigga, we got this!"
(audience laughing)
I'm lookin' at the clock like,
"No, we don't, hurry up, like!"
It was like, "Okay, okay, okay, ah...
(breathing through teeth) (audience laughing)
Okay, okay, okay.
Listen, listen, listen, listen.
When a ho knows that you got a girl,
right, right, okay,
and she don't even care my nigga,
she still be trying to holler,
what is she?"
(audience laughing)
That's where we're going with this?
When a ho knows you got a girl,
so not "parched".
(audience laughing)
Not, "There is a drought and thus..."
(audience laughing)
And me and my master's in public health, I'm like,
"Um, inconsiderate, selfish, uh!"
(audience laughing)
Here go this other fool.
"Nah, nigga, she thirsty as hell, get money!"
(audience laughing)
Wait, what?
What, I didn't know.
I wasn't prepared for this.
And it got worse, guys, it got worse.
'Cause the next word was "reindeer".
(audience laughing)
Here he goes.
"Ahh, money!
I'ma have to walk you through this joint, though."
(audience laughing)
If you don't hurry up, sir.
"Nah, but follow me though, follow me though,
follow me, follow me!
Okay, okay, okay, ah!
I got it, I got it, I got it.
It's Christmas time, right?
Okay, okay.
Baby Jesus sleepin' in the manger.
My nigga, who brought him there though?"
(audience laughing)
I'm sorry, what version of the Bible do you have?
Is your nativity story from Bed-Stuy?
What is...
