What a gentleman you are.
You were like-- you were hovering, going,
when is she going to--
you didn't care, but he was waiting for me.
It was my knees.
I see.
I tried to hover.
I was like, oh, Ellen's taking too long.
[LAUGHTER]
First of all, it's great to see you.
The audience didn't know you were here,
so they're excited because--
Yeah?
Yeah.
[CHEERS, APPLAUSE]
I mean, they'd be excited anyway.
But this is an extra special excitement
because they didn't know you--
and people, I mean, they must go crazy
when they see you two together.
Yeah.
It's been really special.
We just came back.
We shot some pieces in Atlanta.
And just people seeing us together on the street,
there's this really magical thing with Bad Boys
that I didn't know that people had that kind of energy
towards it.
But--
Well, we back.
We here.
[LAUGHTER]
[CHEERS, APPLAUSE]
Exactly.
So the first time y'all met, what--
how old were you all when you did the first movie?
Well, I was--
I was in my 20s.
--I was in my 20s.
Yeah, I think I was 25 when we first did it.
Yeah.
[APPLAUSE]
Oh, yeah.
Aw, man.
[LAUGHTER]
Oh, wow, we don't have no muscle density, whatsoever.
No.
I weighed about 90 pounds right there.
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah.
Y'all were bad boys.
We were bad boys, yeah.
Look at those bad boys.
Look at us, so you better not commit any crime!
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah, not with that belt, no.
I know, right?
[LAUGHS]
We've got belts on.
[LAUGHS]
So-- but it was something that you actually were in the movie.
You were cast in the movie.
Yeah.
And it was your idea to bring Will in, right?
Yes.
My sister, Rae, she brought Will to my attention.
And she was like, you should do the movie with Will.
And so I called Will, and we set up a dinner.
And Will came to my house.
And then five minutes after talking to Will,
he got the job.
Yeah.
[LAUGHS]
He's a charmer.
I mean, yeah, but it was one of the best things I've done.
And now Will's the franchise.
There's no-- you can't do it without him.
Yeah.
No, well, the two of you together are fantastic.
But, yes, five minutes with Will and he will charm--
I was going to say the pants off you.
But that's not right.
You know-- it's not--
That's never happened between us, Ellen.
No, it hasn't.
And I've given you my everything.
I know it.
They haven't come off.
[LAUGHTER]
It's a wonderful thing to joke about these days.
[LAUGHING]
So you were talking about--
when you were here before, we were
talking about you turning 50, and having all these things
on your bucket list, like jumping out of a plane,
bungee jumping.
Are you that kind of daredevil?
No.
I want to make it to my 60s.
[LAUGHTER]
No, I don't want to swim with the sharks.
I don't want to do none of that.
Yeah.
Martin called me after I did the sharks.
He's like, hey, man, uh, you all right?
[LAUGHS] I was just like, yeah.
Yeah, I'm good.
He's said, I want us to get to this Bad Boys thing.
Yeah.
[LAUGHS]
You keep jumping out of planes, I
don't know if we going to make it.
[LAUGHTER]
It's crazy, right?
Yeah.
Oh, man.
What you do-- and which is just as scary as jumping out
of a plane, for anybody who's tried it, and I know you did--
is you do stand-up--
Yeah.
--which is always, always different every city you go to.
Yes.
And no matter how successful you get, every night is different.
Yes.
I mean, you can just kill one night.
You can just be every single thing is just fire one night.
The next day, all of a sudden everybody
decides, not that joke.
Exactly, because it's a different audience every night.
And you've got to convince them that what you think is funny
is funny.
And so you-- it's a challenge every night.
But I love getting up for it.
I mean, because there's nothing like the reward.
When they love it, and they love you,
there's nothing like the reward.
So let's talk about your colonoscopy.
Oh!
Sh-- uh.
[LAUGHTER]
Well, that was an interesting segue, Ellen.
Well?
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah.
It's a really good thing you did that.
Yeah, yeah, the colonoscopy, it was--
how many people have had those?
Anybody had those?
Yeah, a couple of people, yeah.
Oh, you had them, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, you seem reluctant.
You like, ah, yeah.
I got it.
Yeah.
But you know what?
It was a great thing that you did,
because I think everybody needs to know that's important to do,
man.
Yeah, because--
You thought it would just be fun.
--I thought it was fun.
I was going to vlog it.
So I was like, oh, this week I'm going to vlog my colonoscopy.
And I do it.
So we do the whole thing, vlog it.
And I was like, hey, it's time.
Now we're going to do--
let's do the final piece where the doctor tells me everything.
And she was like, oh, yeah, they found a precancerous polyp.
I was like, [CHUCKLES] what?
That's not funny.
[LAUGHTER]
I was like-- and then, all of a sudden, it turned very real.
And it was just a good thing they removed it.
And it was really great.
But it is so important to take those health
issues very seriously and go.
And I'm telling you, have yourself checked out.
They caught it early.
It was done.
Yeah.
And-- but it's--
And you don't remember it.
You don't-- no, you definitely don't remember it.
The drugs are fantastic.
The drugs, yeah.
It's the day before the procedure, it's the worst day.
Yeah, exactly.
[LAUGHS]
That's the worst part of it.
But it really is important.
Everybody should get checked.
Yeah.
Go take care-- go check yourself out.
All right, more--
Less about my colonoscopy.
Less about colonoscopy--
Yeah.
--more other things, after this.
Yeah.
[LAUGHS]
